[00:24] but my sound is not working after that [00:24] actually I think there are a few warnings/errors referring to ata1 in dmesg.

Can i do this without burning the .iso to a disk? [00:24] hold on I'll reboot off the hdd [00:24] freeman__: from the sounds of it you don't have a working drive... you can boot from a live cd.

I like using Ubuntu. I've tried gentoo and I hated it just cause it was so user unfriendly. Linux from Scratch nearly drove me insane. But the advantage that both have over Ubuntu is that you can install w/e you want from the get go. For example...I don't use evolution, tomboy notes, and many other apps. Isn't there a way that I can make my own custom build? [00:25] shiv1285: applications>add or remove [00:25] Freman: Just see it, or does it mount it successfully too? [00:26] Hermanon: all of your repositories are disabled, enable them [00:26] it mounts, and works [00:26] and shiv1285 find it there d'accord [00:26] Freman: Ok, that's a headscratcher. [00:26] !minimal | chowder [00:26] chowder: 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).

I would suspect file system errors or borked drive but it can't be that either since the livecd can access it fine.

[00:52] :D [00:52] The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting?" when I log into a system via OpenSSH? [01:03] lakis1982: i might be over thinking it, but how about system/pref/power managemnt? [01:04] where is this ? [01:04] i have kde 3.5.9 [01:04] I know a few specifics about my problem, but I'll save my breath until someone's interested in talking about the problem :) [01:04] lakis1982, system/preferences/screen saver/power management [01:04] shiv1285: now i really dont know ask again for some one else cuz here is 02.30 and a have a exam tomorrow ask for some command to update your sound card drivers or smt i am really sorry see ya [01:04] leeping2008: : accept the key for the host :) [01:04] lakis1982: well, i consider KDE an eyesore, so i really coudln't tell you in KDE.. ask in #kubuntu [01:04] Dillizar: no problem!!! Thank you so much for your help [01:04] see ya [01:04] Is it possible to resize a windows partition and install Ubuntu using the Alt CD? Or will i need the GUI LiveCD version ? [01:05] in the power saving tab , there only appears one setting .. its the setting for the monitor to turn off after some minutes [01:05] kjs_: of course it is. [01:05] kitche, that's what I've been doing. However, openSSH seems to connect on a different port each time I log in - this is a consequence of the queue software that my Beowulf cluster uses [01:05] kjs_: you just need to be comfortable resizing using text, rather than a GUI [01:05] kjs_, you can resize with the alt cd I thought [01:05] Dillizar: Good luck for your exam [01:05] And a different port seems to result in a different key being generated (which ironically wasn't a problem until the OpenSSH security update!) [01:05] kjs_, if you need a gui, look up the gparted live cd and use that [01:06] leeping2008: openssh generates one key per host [01:06] ok kool im fine without a gui just checking it was possible, guess i should defrag the windows vista partition first? [01:06] * IndyGunFreak loves Partedmagic Live.. I use it before using Alternate install CD's [01:06] na i dont need a gui. [01:06] the gparted live cd will let you make and move your partitions and stuff, then you boot your ubuntu cd and voila [01:06] ah yup that's what I do [01:06] gparted all the way [01:06] hooah [01:07] kjs_: then if you don't need a GUI, its a piece of cake really, you justneed to know how many mb you want to set your ntfs partition to, resize it, then set the rest of it up for linux [01:07] I used it to shrink my windows partition on this machine down to 80 megs [01:07] 80mb ??? [01:07] kitche, what I'm seeing seems to contradict this because I'm connecting on a different port each time. I'm looking for a way to configure my openSSH login so that it will automatically answer "yes" to this question whenever it is asked [01:07] 80mb?..lol, whats on that partition?.. dos 6.2? [01:07] ahhaha [01:07] lol [01:07] nothing really [01:07] RabidWeezle: obviously, windows isn't even there..lol [01:07] vista is about 8gb now i think. [01:07] I had to keep it though to keep it from messing up grub [01:08] so I shrunk it as far as I could [01:08] RabidWeezle: grub will install fine w/o windows. [01:08] which the smallest size I could make it was 80 megs [01:08] ok so I tried starting compiz and i get a tiny message that says " Checking for Xgl: not present. [01:08] Found laptop using ati driver. [01:08] aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity " [01:08] its awfull only reason i keep it on there is for when a client calls and i need to talk them over the phone whow to do some thing in vista. [01:08] yeah, I had windows installed when I installed ubuntu [01:08] then I decided to take it off [01:08] hey does anyone know a softer kill signal than -9/KILL ? [01:08] i need help getting my sound working on my toshiba satelite a110 [01:08] RabidWeezle: i see.. so you just kinda shortcutted it.. eh.. not a bad idea. [01:08] so I just formatted the windows partition and shrunk it [01:09] cant use a VMWare / vbox as it will break the EULA as its OEM Vista... [01:09] How do I convert the .ogv file recordMyDesktop gives me to a normal .avi I can send to a windows user? [01:09] kjs_: i generally wipe my posterior w/ the EULA from MS [01:09] .ogv can be played on windows. [01:09] yup [01:09] iirc vlc play oggs dmsuperman_ [01:09] If I followed my eula, I wouldn't be running gentoo on my xbox... [01:10] . [01:10] IndyGunFreak: its a company laptop...

Does your router or modem hand out ip addresses and do the authentication part of the isp login or for instance in windows are you using some pppoe client or other such thing? === noctem is now known as Arkady === Arkady is now known as wolverine [04:50] genii: I don't quite understand that. All I do in Windows is double click on the detected wireless network then input a key and I'm connected. [04:50] pgreptom never messed with those, my keyboard was set properly (laptop with multimedia keys) [04:50] I am trying to download MySQL GUI tools, when I look for applications to download what version should I be downloading, There is no version available for ubuntu [04:51] The choices are as afollows: [04:51] RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) RPM (bundled dependencies) [04:51] RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) RPM (bundled dependencies) [04:51] Fedora Core 5 (x86) [04:51] IWantMoreCowBell: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:51] SuSE Linux 10.x (x86) RPM [04:51] nickrud, Ah. I'm using a desktop :) [04:51] IWantMoreCowBell don't ever use RPM's === wolverine is now known as x0r [04:51] IWantMoreCowBell and, sudo apt-get install mysql-admin and mysql-browser will get them. === x0r is now known as x0rg === x0rg is now known as z0rg [04:52] lainy: OK. by that it would seem the router does the part of username and password then to your internet provider. [04:52] Hi all. Can someone help me install this software: http://savi.sourceforge.net/ I have installed dependencies I think, I get this when running make: http://pastebin.com/m38b4e231 [04:52] nickrud, I just figured it out. Left won't work, but Super will work. go figure :) [04:52] IWantMoreCowBell that is, sudo apt-get install mysql-admin mysql-browser will get them. (no and) [04:52] pgreptom hahaha === z0rg is now known as z0r [04:52] genii: Yeah, no user name or password === z0r is now known as noctemx0r [04:53] Hey guys~ I have a fairly barebones xubuntu install and it's like 1.4GB (my eeepc is only 2GB) Is there a list of stuff that's not important somewhere that I can uninstall? [04:53] lainy: Did you make some entries to the file /etc/network/interfaces ? If so then the ntwork manager will think it is manually configured and not try to bother with it [04:53] hi there. i have reading about the Cairo Dock for Gnome. anybody know where it can be found for download? [04:53] you guys may have already answered my question [04:53] Does anybody wanna play wormux 0.8 final? [04:53] IWantMoreCowBell a general rule is: find what you want on the net, that's ok. But install it using the ubuntu packaging tools, 98% of what you want is available from synaptic or using apt-get (equivalent) [04:53] Please someone help with software installation, compiling and all that, see above post [04:53] savi is not in repositories [04:54] genii: I don't know. I will check when I reboot into Ubuntu. [04:54] genii: If there's something there, should I clear the file and save it? [04:54] lainy: Trying to connect with commandline iwconfig also makes entries into that file, so you know [04:54] !find tk.h | chronographer [04:54] chronographer: Found: gtk2hs-doc, libtk-histentry-perl, tkchooser [04:54] where could I find the iptables configuration file so a port could be opened? [04:54] genii: Oh, then there are stuff in it [04:54] oooh. install those? [04:54] lainy: All entries in there should be ideally set to auto [04:54] what's quickest way to exit X when required on ubuntu [04:54] lainy: man interfaces gives you some examples [04:55] noctemx0r-> you create the rules [04:55] chronographer not sure, I was expecting something from the tcl/tk stuff. Might be wrong with those [04:55] sup? [04:55] genii: Should I input my hex key in that interfaces file? [04:55] amenado: does that mean there is no configuration file in /etc? [04:55] hmm. i installed tcl and tk and tcl-dev and tk-dev and stuff... [04:55] lainy: No [04:55] anyone seen mdomsch tonight? [04:55] noctemx0r-> none that am aware of, but possibly a copy of the rules you created [04:55] how can I stop X server running [04:55] lainy: You should set everything in that file to auto. Then when you try to connect from networkmanager it will want whatever keys [04:55] ?? [04:55] which folks would just provide debs! [04:56] ok thank you for the pointers. [04:56] later on then [04:56] noctemx0r-> man iptables-save [04:56] ok [04:56] genii: Could you explain to me more how to set everything to auto? I'm not sure what it would look like [04:56] genii: You mean like "auto wlan0 [04:56] how do I get the fastes apt-get repository server on ubuntu server? no gui, so cannot use synaptic [04:56] s/fastes/fastest/ [04:57] try a few local ones out? [04:57] chronographer: it is working fine.. but for a reference [04:57] chronographer I'd try the tkchooser then, seems closest :) [04:57] is there a hardy debootstrap available yet? [04:57] I have linux-restricted-modules on my computer, but the hardware drivers manager says I have no proprietary drivers on my system. I need these drivers for my wireless card to work. Can anyone help me? [04:57] tkchooser? [04:57] lainy: like something two lines: auto wlan0 then: iface wlan0 inet dhcp [04:58] genii: Ok [04:58] lainy: read man interfaces for other more comprehensive examples [04:58] anyone know why Rythmbox doesn't have a stop button? [04:58] genii: Thanks, let me give this a try in ubuntu [04:58] brb [04:58] I have a question for anyone in here who runs ubuntu on a powerpc: are there and custom repositories that are good since ubuntu no longer has offically supported repositories for ppc? [04:58] *any [04:58] nickrud: I don't understand [04:59] chronographer bad choice, tkchooser isn't the package you want. It was one of the !found ones [04:59] ok. [05:00] maybe I need tclx ? [05:00] how do you quit running X [05:00] chronographer but that's the error, line 31 in your output [05:01] http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2001-11/003633.html <- maybe this will help... [05:01] where do I get some help for server? no gui, no synaptic [05:01] axisys, try netselect-apt [05:01] chronographer yeah, those both sound like they would work. The former would be easiest for me [05:02] axisys-> what are you looking for? to download a package? [05:02] theswellseason: Maybe look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [05:02] axisys, try netselect-apt [05:02] bloody hell, I don't really want to change the bloody code.... [05:02] Jordan_U: ok.. thnx [05:03] amenado: to find the fastest apt-get repo w/o using synaptic .. for server.. I will check out what Jordan_U suggested [05:03] chronographer welcome to compiling code in linux. Not uncommon to tweak stuff to a distribution [05:03] cant sign my CoC fo ubuntu. can anyone help me out? [05:04] theswellseason: Also in #ubuntu-powerpc they may know something [05:04] NMR_Techie did you upload your key to the keyservers? [05:04] thank genii [05:04] =) theres a makefile for debian with a commented line that i needed! I will just uncomment like ... so.! now give it a go.... cross my fingers [05:04] yes, nickrud. the output i am getting is "gpg: can't open `UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.txt': No such file or directory [05:04] gpg: UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.txt: clearsign failed: file open error [05:05] ok, so i reconfigured /etc/network/interfaces to DHCP and got my IP appended, now it says "renewal in 37476 seconds" at the end of the response in konsole, how can i halt the renewal? [05:05] genii: hello i'm lainy. it works now thank you very much for your help. after changing manual to auto in the network file i could connect without problem. thanks again [05:05] theswellseason: You're welcome [05:05] damn [05:05] NMR_Techie are you sure you're doing the command in the same directory that the file is in? [05:05] selocol: You're welcome :) Glad to help [05:05] :D [05:05] i have ies4linux installed, but part of the page i'm viewing (i think it might be java) isn't working, i tried opera (as another alternitive to firefox) and it still says on this site "requires internet explorer" could anyone help me? [05:06] Mr_Cheeto-> halt the renewal? what do you exactly meant? [05:06] Jordan_U: how do I choose it after it found the url? [05:06] amenado, when it renews my IP it effs it all up, so i just want to keep my settings and never let them slip away....away...away... [05:06] Mr_Cheeto: You want to release the IP? [05:06] Jordan_U: I hate to manually edit the sources.list [05:06] no, i want my settings to remain [05:07] axisys, It should create a sources.list ( in your home directory? ) first *check to see that the sources.list is correct* then copy it over to /etc/apt/sources.list [05:07] but it's going to revert to the old settings in 37000 seconds [05:07] nickrud: yep === gbs is now known as fserve [05:07] Anybody know how to get shockwave to work on 8.04 hardy? [05:07] NMR_Techie try feeding it the full path [05:07] Mr_Cheeto-> a couple of things, you may modify your dhclient.conf and then look for leases of our interface [05:07] Mr_Cheeto: If this is some case where you get a different number each time but want a (semi)static number, try assigning IP by mac address in the config of your router or modem [05:07] McChic, shockwave is not available for linux, you must use wine [05:08] k, thnx [05:08] McChic, FF3 works great in wine, not sure about shockwave though [05:08] assign IP by mac!!! OMG it's genius!! HOw? [05:08] I cannot add new schema into the database in Mysql, how do I reinstall mysql [05:08] !pastebin [05:08] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:09] Mr_Cheeto: Almost all routers have this feature. Exactly how to do this varies by how their web-based admin system works. I'd advise looking at the manual for your router. [05:09] kk [05:09] now how can i get my machine to recognize my 1394 port? it works in windows [05:09] I cannot add new schema into the database in Mysql, how do I reinstall mysql [05:09] IWantMoreCowBell: To reinstall applications you first must remove them by typing into the terminal: sudo aptitude remove packagename and then reinstall them by typing sudo aptitude install packagename. [05:09] Jordan_U: the sources.list in my home dir has only one line that is uncommented with the correct url.. but the main one has 18 uncommented url [05:09] I've set up a firewall for my network using Ubuntu and ufw.

[05:10] Ctrl+Alt+F2 run in command mold, and put in " sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop X server [05:10] IWantMoreCowBell: mysql -u root [05:11] of course you need install nvidia driver under this command, and finished it, you can restart X server [05:11] IWantMoreCowBell: or, if you set a password for it, mysql -u root -p, then enter your password [05:11] Mr_Cheeto, oh that's firewire, do aptitude search 1394 - there are several programs for that [05:11] kk [05:11] i have ies4linux installed, but part of the page i'm viewing (i think it might be java) isn't working, i tried opera (as another alternitive to firefox) and it still says on this site "requires internet explorer" could anyone help me?

[05:30] if not, use "sudo aptitude -v moo" [05:30] hi [05:30] bullgard4: ok.. first find the inode number of the file like.. ls -il /etc/hosts.. once you get the number then use the debugfs command "stat" to display the contents of the inode.. you'd type "stat " [05:31] synaptic package [05:31] Beats: Lots of icons on your desktop? remnants of configuration files? deb packages left in /var/cache/apt/archives? what?

[05:31] um, sun java [05:31] is there a GUI for apache [05:31] httpd.conf is your friend :) [05:32] "aptitude -v moo" [05:32] irish3_21: you're gonna need to be more specific, there's more than 1 sun java package in the repositories [05:32] IndyGunFreak: ill brb [05:32] IndyGunFreak: No, but its fairly simple [05:32] IWantMoreCowBell: no, but its fairly simple [05:32] Flannel: ?.. what is? [05:32] if someone wants to play wormux 0.8 final that would be amazing [05:32] bullgard4: before issuing the stat command you have to "debugfs" first then "stat ".. when done "quit" to get out of debugfs [05:32] * IndyGunFreak laughs at Flannel tabbing to early.. :) [05:32] fxtgear: #ubuntu-offtopic for random chatter, thanks [05:33] It seem's I'm having problems with my frames per second, and I'm having trouble running games and certain programs because the screen will start flashing, anyone know how I can fix this?

Got a big ethernet problem. [05:39] Andeh: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12558 [05:39] IndyGunFreak: ok, im back, ok it was sun java 6 JRE and BIN [05:39] hi guys. imm new to linux and im having toubles to log in after install. I forgot my username. is there any whay to change it? [05:39] !anyone [05:39] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:40] irish3_21: not really sure, it works fin for me [05:40] user34: um, yes, do you know the password though? [05:40] thanks :D [05:40] No problem. [05:40] Now, back to the sound issue. How do I open the alsa mixer? [05:40] Hi all [05:40] irish3_21: but i think i have a lot more thanjust bin and jre installed [05:40] i read in a thread that there was some file that had to be with it [05:40] oh [05:41] user34: go to this link http://www.pctipguys.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=88&Itemid=1 [05:41] mortis at the command prompt type alsamixer [05:42] Alright, itś open. [05:42] make sure all your sound levels are turned up, mortis [05:42] They are. [05:42] how do i recover a username in a ubunutu [05:43] I still have no sound. [05:43] user34 go to this link http://www.pctipguys.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=88&Itemid=1 [05:43] rglo: Why not just state the problem you are experiencing and then see if anyone has suggestions [05:43] The first bar in alsamixer shows a full bar into the red, the second shows about 1/4 into the green, the next 5 show nothing. [05:44] user34: What happened to the username you want to recover? [05:44] I have, no one responded...my ethernet card is not being given an ip address...thus no internet [05:44] IndyGunFreak: gnutella.net file in you ~/.frostwire/ folder (I saw this in a thread online, could this be the problem, I guess the guy needed it) [05:44] Oh! There we go. :D [05:44] mortis open the sound preferences System>>Preferences>>sound [05:44] Thanks rglo [05:44] irish3_21: i've never had to do that. [05:45] my pleasure mortis [05:45] Now, how do I make it so that the volume slider on my keyboard works with the sound on linux? [05:45] Hey guys - anyone know how to get libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 on Hardy? [05:45] does 8.04 come with a utility to change the sensitivity of my touchpad? [05:45] SiegeX: synaptic [05:45] irish3_21: i just install java from the repos, and frostwire works fine [05:45] anyone here have any experience with ati x1300 on the latest version of ubuntu that can help me out? [05:46] !touchpad | SiegeX yes it does.. [05:46] SiegeX yes it does..: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [05:46] is it a slider or buttons mortis? [05:46] thanks [05:46] Itś a slider. [05:46] np [05:46] SiegeX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [05:46] rglo: In the physical arrangement of your equipment is it something like internet->modem->computer or internet->modem->router computer or some other thing. Because some modems are in bridged mode and do not assign numbers, rather the computer logs on directly to the internet provider. [05:46] Also...for some reason when I turned up my speakers, it made it pan left and right as well... [05:46] like, on the physical speakers. [05:46] IndyGunFreak: ok, well im installing the other javas, hopefully that wrks, hopefully me having an AMD 64 has nothing to do with it [05:46] irish3_21: that is the problem.. [05:47] genii its computer>>switch>>router>>modem [05:47] irish3_21: there is no version of java for 64bit [05:47] IndyGunFreak: oh [05:47] IndyGunFreak: not cool [05:47] Why is my volume on my speakers also causing sound to pan left and right? [05:47] IndyGunFreak: so, nothing I can do right? [05:48] irish3_21: i think there's a way to make java 32bit work on 64bit, but im not sure if it will work w/ frostwire [05:48] How can I use the command 'stat' to display the owner of the file /etc/hosts? "detlef@MD97600:~$ sudo stat /etc/hosts" does not show it. [05:48] IndyGunFreak: I have Java on my 64bit... [05:48] IndyGunFreak: ok, i will try anything [05:48] bullgard4: you should be able to just use "sudo ls -l /etc/hosts" i believe to get the owner/group from command line [05:49] irish3_21: you'll have to ask someone else, i'm not familiar w/ the procedure [05:49] rglo: Are there other machines on the switch which work correctly? [05:49] irish3_21: just for Java runtime? [05:49] asmo[B]: pay attention, i didn't say it was impossible, i said you had to do something to the 32bit java, to make it work on 64bit [05:49] I'd like some upgrade help. I have a Kubuntu Hardy CD and a Ubuntu DVD. I want to use thsee as my upgrade sources instead of the network. [05:49] there's no trick... sudo apt-get install java-common [05:49] bullgard4, assuming you have a specific reason for using stat, it should show a line like "Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)" when you run 'stat /etc/hosts' [05:49] genii: yes...this computer just stopped after three weeks of not being booted [05:50] asmo[B]: but isn't that only for the java plugins? [05:50] IndyGunFreak: yea [05:50] kcormier: It prints a line: "Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)" What does the '0/' mean in it? [05:50] see, i think you need more than that, but good luck w/ it [05:50] id 0 is root. [05:50] asmo [B]: yea [05:50] rglo: Cabling good? [05:51] irish3_21: what else did you need? [05:51] rglo: eg: lights on switch indicates cable is connected [05:51] bullgard4, the number between ( and / is padded with spaces, since it could be longer than a single digit, of course... [05:51] muerr: What do you mean by 'id 0'? [05:51] asmo[B]: he's trying to run frostwire, which requires java [05:51] genii: yes hardware is all fine. [05:51] asmo [B]: im trying to run Frostwire, i have a AMD 64 [05:51] bullgard4, linux, like unix, assigns numeric values to each user and group. the name 'root' or whatever is a convenience for humans. [05:52] swfdec-mozilla (0.6.0-2ubuntu1) seems to have worked [05:52] rglo: Which adapter name is it and does it have some entry in /etc/network/interfaces or not [05:52] I'm pretty sure all you need is the java-common [05:52] muerr: Ah! Understood. Thank you very much for your help. [05:52] bullgard4, np [05:52] I'd like some upgrade help. I have a Kubuntu Hardy CD and a Ubuntu DVD. I want to use thsee as my upgrade sources instead of the network. Upgrading over the network is a waste of overhead. [05:52] asmo[B]: don't know, i'm smart enogh to stay away from 64bit for now. [05:52] Zombie, do you not have a fast internet connection? [05:53] I need an advice please. Is it possible to download all upgrades for packages while i am not logged in? I have a limited internet connection and all updates are around 250 MB. I was thinking If I could download it at a friends house and then install it locally from a USB key. Does anybody know how to do that please? [05:53] IndyGunFreak: ya I've regret putting it on [05:53] I need an advice please. Is it possible to download all upgrades for packages while i am not logged in? I have a limited internet connection and all updates are around 250 MB. I was thinking If I could download it at a friends house and then install it locally from a USB key. Does anybody know how to do that please?

[05:53] Hi, I have a Sony Vaio laptop and it never seems to come out of suspend or hibernate mode. Does anyone know how to fix that? [05:53] asmo[B]: about the only 64bit distro thats ready, in my opinion, is suse [05:53] asmo [B]: ok, thx, i think i might just let-it-be for now [05:53] but i hate suse.. [05:53] rglo: Add under auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp [05:54] rglo, are you having connecting to wpa? [05:54] irish3_21: or, since you don't have a lot of time invested in your 64bit install, just install 32bit. [05:54] trouble [05:54] genii I get an error with dhcp that says No DHCPOFFERS received [05:55] anyone here having a weird issue with a fresh hardy install where the title bar keeps disappearing when the mouse moves over it??? after installing the nvidia driver??? [05:55] IndyGunFreak, We're using CentOS 5 x86_64 for a couple servers with 8G and 32G memory and it was fine.

'sudo stat /etc/hosts' for example did not print any flags. What flags are meant here? [05:55] rglo: If you bypass the switch does it work? [05:55] anyone familiar with compiling pidgin from source? [05:55] muerr: i don't have a lot of experience w/ Centos, but i honestly don't doubt it.. it tends to stay caught up w/ things [05:55] IndyGunFreak: yea, I might, but not right now, plus im sure they will come out with something. thx for the help! [05:56] IndyGunFreak, only as caught up with things as far as RHEL is :-) [05:56] irish3_21: well, lol yeah eventually but the issue you're having has been around since 64bit came out.. which i think was version 7.04.. so at least a year [05:56] I haven't used SuSE in years, and don't particularly miss it. [05:56] Last I used it there was no apt or yum equivalent available. [05:56] does anyone know how to enable multiple sends in vsftpd ? [05:56] muerr: i hate suse, it just seems to have pretty solid 64bit support [05:56] I don't see it in the man pages [05:57] genii I'll try, be back in a sec [05:57] IndyGunFreak: yea, haha, i remember when i first got Ubuntu and didnt even have sound lol, that was not cool [05:57] nobody here is running 8.04 with an ati x1600? I've tried about 4 different times and my machine will never boot after [05:57] bullgard4, sorry not sure, i don't use the stat command. [05:57] muerr: ok. [05:57] kcormier: not using a ati but .. just curious. how are you installing the driver? [05:58] How do I get firefox 2 running alongside ff 3 in ubuntu? [05:58] checkinstall won't work when compiling pidgin 2.4.2 from source with msnp14 (ubuntu hardy). error messages are at http://pidgin.im/nopaste/475 [05:58] kcormier, I have an X1200, I guess, from lspci output :-> [05:58] kcormier: thats cuz ATI sucks. [05:58] s_spiff: system -> administration -> driver manager [05:59] Let me try again. I'd like some upgrade help. I have a Kubuntu Hardy CD and a Ubuntu DVD. I want to use thsee as my upgrade sources instead of the network. Upgrading over the network is a waste of overhead. [05:59] kcormier: why don't u try envyng? [05:59] IndyGunFreak: It's the only agp card I have that has dvi output [05:59] I still want to do the distribution's upgrade, [05:59] kcormier: well, good luck... was just telling you the main issue.. :) [05:59] kcormier: its a application used to automatically install the drivers. just a suggestion.. works for me with no issues for a nvidia. [05:59] Zombie, You'll need to change /etc/apt/sources.list to reflect your CDROM source. [05:59] or DVDROM source. [05:59] muerr: What command do you use to print the metadata of an ext2/3 file? === silverblade|zZzZ is now known as silverblade [06:00] I'll give it a shot. I'm going to try doing it manually with the latest ati drivers, then i'll try envy [06:00] would it do any harm to force mount a crashed windows partition to recover/backup data??? [06:00] I don't know the syntax offhand, as I haven't used anything but network-based apt in uh...well, since debian 2.0 [06:00] kcormier: okies.. [06:00] bullgard4, What kind of metadata are you after? Like, tags applied to files or something? [06:00] I have. [06:00] kappaccino: so long as the drive is fine it should be ok. If the data is damaged then it might cause issues [06:00] The updater disables. [06:01] The updater disables it.. [06:01] bullgard4, or some kind of lower level metadata like journal? [06:01] thanks guys for the envy advice on the graphics card! :) [06:01] anyone here having issues with compiz.. gnomepanel.. and pidgin simultaneously?? eg: the statusbar doesn't blink when u recieve a new message??? [06:01] Why is my sound panning when I turn up the volume on my speakers? [06:01] good morning [06:01] s_spiff: did you update the settings? I don't think it blinks by default (could be wrong) [06:01] s_spiff, i find compiz insufficiently useful and disable it :-) [06:01] sorry thats probably not much help. [06:01] <|PiP|> im having a weird problem with 8.04 where sound only plays from a single app at a time [06:02] mortis, you mean when you use the slider on your keyboard? [06:02] No, when I use the actual volume on my speakers. :-/ [06:02] mortis, you might be able to change the behaviour by going to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts.. [06:02] recently, when I start up my computer, the evolution-data-server-2.22 process is sucking up all available CPU cycles. Why is that? [06:02] kcormier: umm..my last fresh install used to i think.. but will check it out :( ( afaik there are no settings for the status bar blinking thing.. only the system tray blinking option ) [06:02] External speakers? [06:02] Thats, uh. Goofy :-) [06:02] Yeah... [06:02] genii: no it doesn't work directly either [06:02] s_spiff: nothing weird here with pidgin [06:02] Maybe I'm just deaf in one ear... [06:02] muerr: thanks, but thats not really a solution.. more like a last resort. [06:03] s_spiff: i know there is in windows and they changed the default action a while back to not blink...good luck! [06:03] kcormier: ohh is it??? i'm still on the 2.4.1 which had it i think.. will check out anyways.. thanks [06:03] s_spiff, hence my comment that it wasn't much help :-). That said, I don't know much of anything about compiz. It messes with the way switching desktops works for me, so its completely unusable. [06:03] Alright, the OS recognizes when I turn my volume up or down graphically, but it doesn't actually alter the volume. [06:04] I need an advice please. Is it possible to download all upgrades for packages while i am not logged in? I have a limited internet connection and all updates are around 250 MB. I was thinking If I could download it at a friends house and then install it locally from a USB key. Does anybody know how to do that please? Sorry but it keeps disconnecting me... [06:04] rglo: OK. My first suspect was long cabling. I had this issue when I setup a box and tested it directly on router...worked. Then put a switch and ran a 150metre line to it, where it also worked on the cached dhcp info til I had it powerd off a week.

(Contained in the inode structure.) [06:04] I'm planning on reviving "legacy" hardware for the local folks who, like me, can't afford the latest and greatest stuff. My current project box will only run Breezy, and I can't access any repos or .debs with it. Is Ubuntu the right path for this project, or should I be looking elsewhere? [06:04] gah [06:05] boa noite [06:05] s_spiff: if you didn't see it yet, try plugins -> message notification -> set window manager "urgent" hint...i think that's it [06:05] n2diy: don't see why not.. [06:05] preciso de ajuda [06:05] genii: that would make sense. it is a long cable. How did you fix the prob? [06:05] n2diy: maybe debian lenny or etch [06:06] Alright, the OS recognizes when I turn my volume up or down graphically, but it doesn't actually alter the volume. [06:06] n2diy: you might also consider slackware or rpm based distro since they wont have network connectivity [06:06] Hi IndyGunFreak , been awhile. I was hoping to stay with some flavor of Ubuntu. [06:06] mortis: what version of ubuntu are you using? [06:06] Hardy [06:06] n2diy: well, what makes you think hardy won't support yoru legacy hardware? [06:07] mortis: damn...should be working [06:07] what model is your comp? [06:07] Wow. No. It's not just me being deaf...the sound is literally panning left and right when I turn my volume up or down. [06:07] Maybe the cable is loose or something. [06:07] IndyGunFreak, I only have 128m of ram? [06:07] s_spiff: any luck s_spiff? [06:08] rglo: I cut the ends and replaced the plugs in standard EIA568B order of the wires. Seems the cable had been wired with wires in same order on each end which is OK for short runs but you need precise order for the signal not to degrade over twisted pair for realy long runs. [06:08] muerr: nopes :( [06:08] bullgard4, ls, generally :-). Is there specific information about a file you're looking for? [06:08] n2diy: then i would probably look at Xubuntu or Debian Etch [06:08] Or just poking around in the kernel documentation? [06:08] And I absolutely NEED to get this slider to work...I'll go deaf with headphones on [06:08] ok, how do I remove mysql and all DB's associated so i can reinstall it from terminal in ubuntu? [06:08] ok, so I setup synaptics to allow me to turn off tapping and set the sensitivity, but what can I use to alter the acceleration/speed? [06:08] muerr: oops.. sorry. kcormiernopes.. [06:08] rglo: The order was arbitrary on the original plugs [06:08] IndyGunFreak, Roger roger, tnxs. [06:09] np, good luck [06:09] thanks genii, i'll give it a try...it's a shoddy job of cabling I inherited...first I'll try the short run to make sure. [06:09] Yeah, nevermind rglo, it's something to do with my speakers. I still need to get the slider to work. [06:09] right now, my touchpad requires my finger to run across it multiple times to get anywhere on the screen and my little touch stick in the middle of my keyboard is too fast. where/how does one change these? [06:09] muerr: I am interested how to read out the contents of the inode of a file, let's say the file /etc/hosts. [06:09] mortis: the speakers aren't built in? [06:10] does 8.04 have extra repo [06:10] anyone using ff3 notice lower picture quality on facebooks? [06:10] rglo: OK I'll be here a bit longer [06:10] Hi, I'm curious about the Zen kernel. Supposedly it's faster and more stable and all that jazz. So if I chose to install it, would I have to reinstall my hardware drivers? [06:11] No, they're not. [06:11] They're plugged into my tower. [06:11] Gah. This sound issue is annoying. [06:12] does anyone know why Firefox quits when I load a youtube page? [06:12] s_spiff: trying envy now. will let you know how it goes! [06:12] bullgard4, well stat would show the most information that i know of, but i haven't really had cause to look deeper than output from ls [06:12] Matthew: Bad extension, possibly? [06:13] kcormier: okies.. use the auto feature.. it'll do its job.. while u have to sit back and twiddle ur thumbs :P [06:13] my /etc/hosts file has permissions of root:999 what is group 999? and should i change it to root:root? does it matter? [06:13] TiZ_ it happens on multiple videos [06:13] muerr: Thank you for your help. [06:13] Matthew, what extensions do you have? [06:13] s_spiff: exciting stuff! ;) do you mind chatting in a private chat? [06:13] legend2440, usually, a number like that indicates that there _is_ no group 999. Did you copy/install/untar it from elsewhere? [06:14] legend2440, anyway, it probably doesn't matter; but if you like, you can certainly chown root.root it. [06:14] TiZ_: I'm sorry, extensions? [06:14] ok, how do I remove mysql and all DB's associated so i can reinstall it from terminal in ubuntu? I seem to have locked myself out of mysql and would like to get my site back up [06:14] micahcowan: no clean install of hardy. just happenrd to notice it. [06:15] legend2440, strange. I also clean-installed hardy, but mine is root.root (just checked) [06:15] Matthew, have you never installed any extensions into your Firefox before? Are you a new user to Firefox? [06:15] Gah. Sound effects are really loud and the music is really low. [06:15] >_< [06:15] anybody on 8.04 have any problems with wpa? [06:15] I can't turn the sound effects down :-/ [06:15] legend2440, /etc/hosts should be group root. === PmDematagodaUbun is now known as PmDematagoda [06:15] micahcowan: ok thanks ill change it to root:root [06:15] Does anybody know how to install updates on a machine without internet connection? [06:15] tiz_ maybe do you mean plug-ins? I have one theme, and the "alot" toolbar. [06:16] legend2440, you can find out what group 999 is by running "grep 999 /etc/group" in a terminal. [06:16] muerr: ok thanks [06:16] Yeah. Except, it's unlikely to be there (unless the name of a group is actually "999"). [06:16] daftpunk, you need to get the updates on some form of media, and then specify that media as a source in /etc/apt/sources.list. [06:16] "alot" toolbar? I've never heard of it. I'd disable it and then try some vids. If that doesn't work, I'd try disabling the theme as well and then trying again. [06:17] don't know the syntax for that in sources.list, haven't used anything but network sources in ages. [06:17] And the correct term is extensions. [06:17] muerr ok but can I somehow generate a list of all updates I need? [06:17] daftpunk, not that i know of, every debian/ubuntu system i've ever used had an internet connection. [06:18] muerr i found aptoncd but unfortunately none of my friends where I could download it use linux. [06:18] ok, if no answers on reinstalling/uninstalling, how do I reconfigure mysql? [06:18] tiz_: ok, after quitting at least 4 times each, the videos that didn't work, do now. I wonder what the problem was, it wasn't affecting all the videos. alot is emusics toolbar that i listen to radio with. And thanks for the note on the extensions. === silverblade is now known as silverblade|work [06:18] I have linux restricted modules installed, but my computer says it doesn't have any proprietary drivers. How do I fix this? [06:18] You're welcome. [06:18] daftpunk, you'd have to download a list of available updates from repository system, compare that with your installed packages... [06:19] Hello. How do I check to see if I have Direct Rendering installed or if I have to install restricted drivers? [06:19] muerr I'm gonna have a look at it [06:19] Now... Does anyone know anything about the process of installing another kernel? I'm interested in the Zen Kernel and I want to know if it's worth it to give it a shot. What all will I have to do in installing it? Do I have to reinstall drivers? [06:19] s_spiff: wish me luck, restarting now! [06:19] muerr what is the address for repo system? [06:19] kcormier: BOL.. :P [06:20] TiZ_: umm.. wanted to try it. but afair that it'll screw up my drivers and all. let me know if it works for u.. there are available debs, which can be installed directly. but not tried [06:20] daftpunk, well, theres repository mirrors around the world, and a list would be available on ubuntu.com. however the whole process is very much a manual ordeal and i wouldn't be able to walk you through it on irc. [06:20] How do I find out what video card I have, and if it needs restricted drivers? === starz is now known as apt_get [06:20] daftpunk, sorry i can't be more help. [06:20] Tigge, what you wish to do, will not be supported, I'm afraid. And probably none of the Ubuntu binary modules will work with it: you'll need to do _everything_. [06:21] TiZ_, ^ sorry [06:21] muerr thank you, no problem I'll sort it out [06:21] s_spiff, I don't want to try it yet either. I want to know what all it entails first. [06:21] airstrikeivanov: lsmod [06:21] * will not be supported here. [06:21] is there any way to look at the jobs that are in a print queue? [06:21] Oh [06:21] I see. I guess I'll just keep the normal one, then. [06:21] obviously the new gui doesn't have one [06:21] daftpunk, at least you'll know what to start looking into :-) [06:21] TiZ_: hmm.. till date i've not come across a howto for it.. just the thread on the forums [06:21] s_spiff: black screen, hard lock... guess i'm not so lucky :-\ [06:21] Tigge. Lol. Nice typo. :P [06:22] lsmod doesn't help me. It doesn't tell me my card, or if I have the drivers installed or not. [06:22] kcormier: ohh ok.. [06:22] airstrikeivanov, go to System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers [06:22] damn it. I've been trying for 4 days to get this driver installed [06:22] I'm running the 6.06 version that comes with the EMC distro. I need to build a module - what do I need to add to be able to do that (we don't even have make). TIA [06:22] Hi folks [06:22] anyone else have any ideas for an ati x1600 on hardy? [06:22] question about compiling software. It seems the latest version of gsynatpic allows you to change speed/acceleration but its only available in a tarball and requires recompiling. Since there is a .deb package for an older version of gsynaptic, how easy would it be to use that as a template and just change the source code for gsynaptic to a later version? [06:22] can anyone help me get my wireless working? [06:23] It's a driver issue [06:23] anyone here remembers the command to get all the restricted formats installed??? on hardy.. it was something sudo apt-get install restricted.... [06:23] rglo: I need to sleep soon. Any joy/enlightenment yet? [06:23] It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and the list is empty. [06:23] defendguin, Applications -> Accessories -> Manage Print Jobs will show jobs that have been sent to the queue but not processed by the printer yet. [06:23] airstrikeivanov: System>Administrations>Hardware Drivers [06:23] Then you probably don't need any restricted drivers. [06:23] How can I find out what video card I have? [06:23] s_spiff: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras or something along those lines. you can do it through add/remove programs [06:23] Um... [06:23] kcormier: thank you. [06:23] I just got this computer and don't know what's installed or what. [06:23] muerr: why would they hide it there [06:24] s_spiff: happy to help :) [06:24] airstrikeivanov: Open a terminal, and do lspci [06:24] defendguin, I cannot answer that question, I don't like the menu structure myself :-) [06:24] hi [06:24] Look for VGA Compatible Controller [06:24] Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [06:24] muerr: what about if you are using a network printer? [06:24] how can I connect to my home server from outside [06:24] Then you have an intel video card. I'm sorry. :P [06:24] But on the bright side, you don't need proprietary drivers for it. [06:25] I prefer NV usually. I hear Intel is crap. [06:25] Usually, intel cards are indeed very disappointing. [06:25] I'm going to buy an 8800GT soon, 1GB. Is that compatible with Ubuntu? [06:25] Probalby more so than an ATI card would be. [06:25] How do I get firefox 2 running alongside ff 3 in ubuntu? [06:25] Yeah, I remember there being a whole kernel for NV cards, it ran on my old server with its GeForce 2 MX. [06:26] I'm using a laptop with an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, and the proprietary driver is no good on it. [06:26] Yeah [06:26] I use the open source driver. [06:26] My laptop was an X200, and it never worked [06:26] defendguin, there's a process on your local system called "CUPS" (common unix printing system) that communicates with your network printer. when you submit a print job, it sends it to the CUPS process and until it is processed by CUPS and sent to the network printer, it will show up in the manage print jobs list. [06:26] Just lost the hard disk on it too [06:26] TiZ_: how can you get the open source ati driver? [06:26] Nvidia's proprietary driver is better, or so I hear. [06:26] my desktop pc right now uses x200 and it works fine :) [06:26] the X200 is okay [06:26] but ubuntu 7.10 it didnt work to well at all [06:26] the X200 Mobility is crap [06:26] kcormier, you probably already have it. [06:26] it "disappears" from that list when CUPS is no longer aware of it. If your network printer has a web interface you could connect to that to view the print job(s) [06:26] are the source packages that ubuntu uses to make the .deb's freely available? [06:26] TiZ_: I'm pretty sure it's the vesa driver by default [06:27] the, you have a server at home running ubuntu and you want to be able to access it from outside your home network? [06:27] My laptop T61 worked Ubuntu 8.04 fine.. [06:27] Just disable fglrx from the hardware drivers dialog, and the open source driver should be used. If it's not, then I think you can just change your driver to "ati" in xorg.conf. [06:27] how can I get madwifi to work? [06:27] That's how it worked for me, and I never explicitly installed the open source driver. However... [06:27] trevheg, pray. [06:28] thanks a lot [06:28] If you have a radeon Xpress card, 3d acceleration will take a little more effort. [06:28] * muerr hates madwifi / athereos wireless adapters [06:28] Do you have a Radeon Xpress, kcormier? [06:28] it was cheap [06:28] Radeon x1600 PRO [06:28] Can someone help me setup webmin to do reboot on certain days? [06:28] I'll check the wiki for you. Be right back. [06:29] rglo: In case you need it for wiring reference: http://www.surrey.ac.uk/eng/Intranet/ict/support/UTP.HTM I have to go, 6 hours til alarm goes off here [06:29] How do I set my volume slider on my keyboard to control the volume in Ubuntu? [06:29] the, to access your home system, you can use ssh (command-line / text mode) or VNC - maybe Vino (GUI). you'll also need to set up port forwarding in your router/access point for ssh (port 22) and vnc (5900). [06:29] Ah, it seems you can't use the open source driver on that one, kcormier. [06:30] TiZ_: damn. and it seems the binary driver doesn't work either. damn damn damn! [06:30] You have to use either the proprietary one or the new radeonhd driver... But the new one doesn't have 3d. [06:30] TiZ_: I've been working on this damn machine for 4 days too....lmfao [06:30] ATI is NOT the way to go for linux. :P [06:31] TiZ_, s/for linux// [06:31] TiZ_: I've noticed...too bad it's pretty much all I have because in windows it's usually much better for tv out! [06:31] Huh, muerr? [06:31] mortis: ~/.Xmodmap works for me. Added this to it: [06:31] Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu, could someone help me with setting up wireless internet? Right now I can only access internet through a cable [06:31] substitution command. [06:31] keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume [06:31] keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume [06:31] Oh. Substitute with nothing. Heh, clever. [06:31] TiZ_, i'm just that geeky :D [06:32] Yeah, ATI isn't the way to go in general, you're right there. [06:32] Where can I get xmod map? [06:32] I always did prefer Nvidia. [06:32] mortis: Your keyboard may be different.. google on .Xmodmap - it gets interesting :-) [06:32] Ditto. I have ati in this laptop because thats what it came with, and we bought it *cheap* from a friend. [06:32] mortis: err, probably xmodmap might work better :) [06:32] hello [06:32] i'll look. Thanks [06:32] heh... [06:33] good luck with xmodmap mortis. [06:33] My laptop's a Gateway MT6452. It has an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. And by gosh, the open-source driver does great! [06:33] i saw on-line how the mac air mouse works and it was great. [06:33] I'm not so much of a fan of ati's corporate policies, especially the new pricing thing! [06:33] i've been using Linux for over 13 years and I stay clear of that :-x [06:33] But fglrx is utter crap! Compiz is the only thing that works well on that driver. [06:33] lol. Is it confusing muerr? [06:33] sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [06:33] dont work [06:33] can i configure ubuntu to do the same mousepad action on my laptop? [06:33] how do i get w32codecs [06:33] Is xmodmap even a program? Or what? [06:33] Cab anyone please help me with setting up wireless internet? [06:33] mortis, surely for the unitiated. [06:34] BoneE: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras i believe [06:34] Is there anything else that would be easier to use? [06:34] xmodmap is a program. .Xmodmaprc is the configuration file in your home directory. [06:34] maybe the keyboard shortcuts, if the volume settings there respond when you move your slider. [06:34] They do, graphically though. [06:34] They don't actually do anything to the volume. [06:34] hey guys. Does the radeonhd driver support opengl hardware acceleration? [06:35] No it doesn't. [06:35] damn it [06:35] the gui volume slider dialog pops up when you move the slider? [06:35] It has no 3d yet. [06:35] i seriously hate ati all of a sudden [06:35] any luck with the ati hd2600 card? [06:36] muerr: yes it does but it doesn't change the volume. [06:36] kcormier: the only thing you can do is scour google and the ubuntu forums for solutions, or go back to Windows. [06:36] TiZ_: do you know if the open source driver supports the ati hd2600 pro? [06:37] I don't know. [06:37] Where'd you find out about the 1600 pro? I don't mind looking it up myself, I just don't really know where to look! [06:37] mortis, sorry don't know much about it. only non-button volume controls i've had was a spin-dial thing on a logitech keyboard and that worked on ubuntu 7.04 by default :-\ [06:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [06:38] There's a thread in the ubuntu forums about how people got fglrx to work for them [06:38] this is an offcial ubuntu support rite [06:38] Well, it's a spin-dial, yea. [06:38] I'll be right back. [06:38] But thanks. [06:38] but no one here can help me [06:38] kcormier: not inthere [06:39] I just need to know how to setup my home server [06:39] so that I can access from outside [06:40] the: Web server? [06:40] the, this is user/community based support. [06:40] the: is it a web server or ssh server? [06:40] whats the diff between synaptic and aptitude? [06:40] thanks TiZ_ I'll have to take a look at what gpu the hd2600 runs! [06:40] two different front ends to the same apt-get? [06:40] the, if you want to be able to log into your home system from the outside world, I provided a couple suggestions. [06:40] ssh and vnc. [06:40] or, vnc over ssh [06:40] SiegeX: synaptic is the front end to aptitude. [06:41] SiegeX: i mean apt-get [06:41] SiegeX: yeah [06:41] ok, and what is aptitude then [06:41] aptitude is just a more "usable" commandline front end to apt. [06:41] genii: ssh [06:41] ahh [06:41] muerr : yaa [06:41] so you can do aptitude search somepackage, aptitude install somepackage, rather than apt-cache search somepackage, apt-get install somepackage. [06:41] muerr : already install ssh and ftp [06:42] SiegeX: aptitiude has less of a tendencey to break things....though ive been told apt-get got updated so it doesnt do this as often anymore. [06:42] kcormier: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=43251611 [06:42] the, don't use ftp, ssh will allow you to use sftp which is encrypted. [06:42] muerr: ok [06:42] the, you'll need to open a port forward on your access point or router you use with your ISP connection to the internet. ssh by default is port 22. [06:42] muerr: nice, I see. well if aptitude has all the benefits and no shortfalls over apt-get, might as well use that [06:42] the: Most ISP have dynamic numbers. Use some service like dyndns to make it always accessible. And ezipupdate on the box to use dyndns. Then make your router forward port 22 to your box, which should be also getting the same internal lan number all the time from it based on mac address. [06:43] muerr: here I got 1 modem that connected to my wireless router [06:43] SiegeX, despite the existence of aptitude, i still use apt-get and apt-cache, due to habits picked up ages ago [06:43] the, ISP cable modem -> wireless router -> server ? [06:43] well, i come from a long time in the slackware world and ive been use slapt-get, so apt-get isnt all that foreign to me [06:43] although i wouldnt have known that i need to call another binary for searches (apt-cache) [06:44] the: Then you ssh into it like ssh -l name whatever.dyndns.org [06:44] genii: You're one smart cookie. Saved me a bunch of hair that I would have pulled out. THANK YOU!!! [06:44] muerr : isp --> modem -- wireless router -- pc [06:44] the, so you'll log into your wireless access point (i assume you know how to do that:) ) and change the port forwarding to point incoming connections on port 22 to the IP of your server on port 22. [06:44] muerr : isp --> modem -- wireless router -- server [06:44] SiegeX: though this room isnt as heavy right now as earlier, can we put nicknames in front of messages so that we know who we're talking to? [06:44] rglo: np :) Glad to help [06:44] alan_m: sure [06:44] muerr : router or modem [06:44] the, before you do that though, you'll need to secure your server as much as you can. [06:44] SiegeX: :) [06:44] the wireless router. [06:44] Will try tomorrow and see if anyone knows what needs to be installed to build a kernel module... [06:45] typically has a web based front end to manage. [06:45] muerr : ok done already [06:45] is there anyone could tell me where can i find win32codecs and w32codes. i cant find them with my sources.list [06:45] :) [06:45] rglo: Gotta go sleep now :) Enjoy [06:45] Does anyone have a driver for OKI c3200 printer [06:45] Kelen, need to enable universe or multiverse. [06:45] Restarting laptop. [06:45] kelen search the ubuntu wiki for w32codec. [06:46] sleep well genii [06:46] on an entirely different subject, i can get most of the whizz bang fusion stuff going (although some I have no idea wtf they are trying to do) but for sure the desktop cube isnt working. I hit ctrl+alt+down and nothing happens. Am i forgetting something? [06:46] muerr: w32codec? not w32codes? [06:46] muerr : how my modem can understand the connection [06:46] !w32codec | Kelen [06:46] Factoid w32codec not found [06:46] http://ubuntu.cn99.com [06:47] w32codecs [06:47] muerr : still cant access [06:47] !w32codecs | Kelen [06:47] openoffice is broken I can't install it from the repositories [06:47] Kelen: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:47] the, did you start sshd? :-) [06:47] Kelen,you can try http://ubuntu.cn99.com [06:47] via, /etc/init.d/ssh start [06:47] muerr : yaa [06:47] muerr: is that why cant play RMVB format video normal, i just got sound only.. [06:48] muerr : via nmap [06:48] Kelen, i don't know what rmvb is sorry. [06:48] hey whats the terminal command to create a new username so my friends can get on [06:49] joobaby: adduser [06:49] Why do it from the terminal? You don't have to. [06:49] tonyyarusso: thanks [06:49] the, are you trying to connect to the server via the internal IP on the private network behind the wireless router, or via the public IP of the router from the ISP? [06:49] System -> Admin -> Users and Groups [06:49] well i couldnt find the other way [06:49] ah [06:49] i like using the terminal anyway [06:49] muerr: public IP from the ISP [06:50] F_Dom: I has added cn99.com in my sources.list, but it is still cant find any infomation about w32codes or win32codecs . [06:50] Oh well. I'm a GUI person. [06:50] the, so you nmap that IP and it says port 22 is listening? does the wireless router itself have ssh access available? [06:50] ok, this is kinda odd. I went into the compiz config's general settings, and bumped the number of horizontal desktop size from 2 to 4, now ctrl+alt+down actually does something but I dont see a cube. Its more like a 3-windowed expo === Beats is now known as Kidfork [06:50] Can somebody do me a huge favor and get me the direct link to the Linux video driver for the nVidia 7900 GS KO video card? [06:51] how do i get the rotating cube that seems to be all the rage [06:51] HEy guys i removed a seperator from my deskbar. Now i can see the update manager, network icon, etc. How can i get this back>? [06:51] Kelen,can you give me the e-mail of you ,i will send the sources.list to you [06:51] muerr: wireless router with ssh access [06:51] SiegX, you need the Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube plugins enabled. [06:51] SiegeX, that is. Sorry. [06:51] is firefox 3 final out yet? [06:52] muerr: I only modify the port forwarding to the server [06:52] muerr: let say my server ip is 192.168.1.10 [06:52] TiZ_: aha, let me try that. [06:52] the, if your wireless router has ssh access built in, then it'll already be listening on port 22 for itself. you'll need to change the 'listen' port in your port forwarding to something else (such as 2200), and then use that port when you ssh. [06:53] any1? is firefox 3 out yet? [06:53] dacubuntu: yup.. [06:53] i cant use the tarball from the mozilla site === yacc__ is now known as yacc [06:53] dacubuntu, yes and making its way to ubuntu mirrors if its not there already. [06:53] Okay. So, everyone knows the three gnome menus. Applications, Places, and System. I'd like to merge them into one button labeled "Menu" (not the single button; I'd like it to have a label too). Is this possible? [06:53] muerr: in that case nope [06:53] dacubuntu: i think the ubuntu repo has it already [06:54] dacubuntu: or try get-deb if u can't find it on the repos [06:54] ok... ill have to update the repos then [06:54] muerr: no ssh aceess built [06:54] the, ah ok. [06:54] TiZ_: yup... right click..add to panel.. and click the main menu.. [06:54] can any of u recommend a download manager? [06:54] I still can't get DVD [06:54] dacubuntu: wget is nice..and super lightweight [06:54] something like flashget for windows... i just cant find somethin as good as that [06:54] Can someone help me setup webmin to do reboot on certain days? [06:55] the, you have a pc and a server behind the router. can you ping the server from the pc? [06:55] s_spiff: I know about that one. But I'd like it to have a label too; not just the one icon. [06:55] I've uninstalled openoffice and now it won't install from the synaptic can anyone help figure this out [06:55] I still can't get DVD upgrade to work. [06:55] dacubuntu, what kind of downloads do you need managed? [06:55] i know... wget is a bit weird [06:55] all kinds actually [06:55] muerr: yes [06:55] Can somebody do me a huge favor and get me the direct link to the Linux video driver for the nVidia 7900 GS KO video card? [06:55] TiZ_: i think you need to edit some file in the home folder .. so as to use customized icon or something.. sorry can't remember. [06:55] not specific to you tube vids or nethin [06:55] muerr: I also can ssh to that server [06:55] !webmin | JohnnyBeGood [06:56] JohnnyBeGood: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [06:56] from the pc [06:56] but not to the public IP? [06:56] yaa [06:56] from pc to server [06:56] I use internal IP [06:56] 192.169.x.x [06:56] but if you're external you can't ssh to the public IP and get a response. [06:57] or from the pc you can't [06:57] !ebox | JohnnyBeGood [06:57] JohnnyBeGood: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [06:58] yaa correct [06:58] ok, from my pc [06:58] apart from wget n wxdownload... any others? [06:58] if I ssh using my internal IP, yes it works [06:58] dacubuntu, there's download extensions for firefox. === cO_gObLog is now known as ce_cubbies [06:59] yeah.. but i cant use rapidshare with that [06:59] ssh using public IP it wont works [06:59] altho i do have it installed [07:00] either from inside or ourside [07:00] openoffice.org-core won't install any thoughts? [07:00] its possible your ISP won't let the connection through. [07:00] how to check [07:01] openoffice.org-core conflicts with openoffice.org-unbundled how do I resolve this? [07:02] TiZ_: ok, the rotate cube plugin allows ctrl+alt+left/right to work quite nicely but I still dont see a zoomed out cube, it more or less just flips [07:02] hi, anyone know of any command to check the dependencies of the binary, instead of trying each time to encounter next library missing [07:02] Hey I need some advice on setting up my partitions. I'm planning on a /, /boot, /home and maybe a /usr cause thats where everything gets installed to right? [07:02] and ctrl+alt+down just flattens it out like it was expo [07:02] Tiz [07:02] SiegeX: Try Ctrl+Alt+Button1 [07:03] ohh.. nvm, i found it, its ldd [07:03] I didn't know about Ctrl+Alt+Down. I use the actual Expo plugin that uses Super+E. [07:04] evening [07:04] SiegeX, did the cube rotate? [07:04] TiZ_: thats alot closer to what i thought it would look like, although i know ive seen videos of the cube zoomed out [07:04] They're probably using 3D Windows [07:04] Enable that plugin too [07:04] Spender, i personally just use a / , /boot, swap and /home. [07:05] HI all, After doing updates it seems flash isnt working on my system I tried reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree but it doesnt seem to fix it . Any suggestions ? :D Im on Ubuntu HH 64 bit [07:05] oh i know what you mean siegex [07:05] thanks poly, I was planning on a /usr cause my uncle said thats where everything gets installed to [07:05] siegex: just hold the middle click on the desktop, and drag [07:05] I pulled the newest flash 10 beta and used that [07:05] Filled-Void, the 32 bit flash player won't work unless you use 32 bit firefox [07:05] if thats twhat your looking for [07:05] what browser you using? [07:05] so i was wanting all my stuff on a different partition then my main distro [07:05] You'll have to use an open source flash player [07:06] there is an alternative flash player [07:06] btw has any1 noticed that even the adobe flash player for ubuntu sucks? [07:06] yes it does [07:06] TiZ_, It can be made to work using ndswrapper [07:06] TiZ_, Ok thanks :) [07:06] that might change with 10, though [07:06] dacubuntu, too bad thats all we have. [07:06] flash is slow on anything but win/mac [07:06] i dont see y... [07:06] It was working before updates. Thats is youtube and all worked. [07:06] I didn't know ndiswrapper could play the flash player. :| [07:06] same company n everything [07:07] mine kept crashing on videos [07:07] dacubuntu, its not open source. tha [07:07] so, i updated to 10 beta [07:07] hasn't crashed yet [07:07] what about the other alternatives [07:07] there is a free alternative, but it's not as good... [07:07] like does plug ins on firefox (cant remember the names) [07:07] gnash doesnt work very well, it has to reverse engineer ingeveryth [07:07] TiZ, I had it running on a debian 64 system - so I'm betting it can be done on Ubuntu also [07:07] and dacubuntu, the 32 bit adobe flash player is just fine on me. [07:07] on mine* [07:07] yeah gnash [07:07] im on 32 as well [07:07] gnash is worse than linux flash from adobe [07:08] has anyone else encountered issues with wpa wireless? [07:08] so, there really is no good option at the moment [07:08] Sigh lost power. WIll be back later [07:08] Jewfro, I'm mostly a linux newbie. I'm just relaying what I learned in my struggle to get Ubuntu working. [07:08] all i care is that it displays sites proeprly [07:08] get the medibuntu repositories [07:08] then you can load up all your media needs like DVD and vid codecs [07:08] greetings, all [07:08] also do the nonfree repos [07:09] that will have your drivers and flash stuff [07:09] good morning [07:09] morning to you [07:09] hmmm [07:09] ill have to look for it then [07:09] it's dead over in #ubuntu-eeepc so i figured i'd pop over here [07:09] Does anyone know how I can add a label to the Main Menu button, so that it's not just an icon, but (icon) Menu? [07:09] what package must I install to make sound-juicer rip audio cd mp3? [07:10] the main ubuntu logo? on the taskbar? [07:10] Kartagis, i think the ugly set of plugins for gstreamer [07:10] Kartagis, you need to have an mp3 encoding library installed on your system. [07:10] you can skin anything in kde/gnome [07:10] trying to figure if eeebuntu can be installed (and fit) on a 2g surf from an sd card. google isn't turning up too much. [07:11] do you like your eee? [07:11] or if theres any other alternative that's super stripped down to conserve disk space. i don't do much with the eee - web browsing, pidgin and xchat [07:11] I was eyeing the newer ones [07:11] love it, bj_ [07:11] but they made the 901s ugly [07:11] hello all. I have installed firefox 3 and when I try to install any addons I get the following error: "Firefox could not install the file at [07:11] https://addons.mozilla.org/downloads/file/29765/better_gmail_2-0.5-fx+sm.xpi [07:11] because: Download error [07:11] -228" [07:11] sinnus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:12] tiz: just right click on the menu bar and over the applications / places... and click edit menus [07:12] what is wrong? [07:12] sinnus, floodbot1's being picky, dont worry about it :) [07:12] ZLemur, would you go for bigger screen...is it a second laptop? [07:12] just dont paste a lot of lines in the room like you just did....use pastebin. [07:12] sinnus: is it firefox final? cuz i cant find it [07:13] dacubuntu, Yes, final version [07:13] mind tellin me where u got it? [07:13] which repo? [07:13] or site.. or wtv? [07:13] has anyone here tried setting up mythbuntu? [07:13] it's my only laptop at the moment. like i said, i don't need it for much. basic online functionality. the 7" that's on my 2g surf is plenty big for my purposes. i mean, don't get me wrong, i'd like another 1" vertically for certain webpages, but once i get ff3 going, it won't be an issue. [07:13] dacubuntu: that doesn't do it. I've checked alacarte over 9000 times. I haven't found any way to compress the "Applications, Places, System" into one label, "Menu" [07:14] bazhang: sir how do you compile an theme engine [07:14] ya, the black 700s were pretty sexy.... [07:14] nod - i mine [07:14] 's black [07:15] (and as you can see, i'm still getting used to the tiny keyboard) [07:15] they stuck this big ol hinge on the 901 [07:15] and--i dunno--made it more plasticeee [07:15] more chinsey feel, eh? [07:15] has any1 got realtek soundcard jacks wrkin proeprly? [07:15] i was all excited to hear about the new 900 models..then they go and change the form up [07:15] its annoying that i cant use voice chat on ubuntu [07:16] any one how do you compile an theme engine :) [07:16] but the 700 felt good ...sad really [07:16] too bad places can't stick with what works. [07:16] tv: i would help but i dont know what u mean by theme engine [07:16] sheesh, i know, it was just a screen upgrade [07:16] Whats the command to show all the running processes and what they're running at? [07:16] and processor... [07:16] MrPocknix_: top [07:16] top [07:16] thanks brak [07:17] you could certainly load up eeeBuntu on an SD card [07:17] i don't want it -on- the sd card [07:18] dacubuntu: sir i just downloaded a gtk2 theme from gnome.org and tried to install it in theme manager but it gives an error like you need to compile theme engine [07:18] well 2GB is tight [07:18] i want to install -from- the sd card. i'm concerned that it won't fit on the 2g though [07:18] I think a basic desktop install is around 3 [07:18] ick [07:18] well, you can get anything to fit...it would just take more effort [07:19] any really tiny alternatives that'd get me basic functionality? something easy to install, though - i'm very very much a linux newbie [07:19] someone got vista all shrunk down [07:19] well the eeeBuntu would be the best b/c it has all the packaged in drivers for everything [07:19] anyone even dacubuntu left the room :( [07:19] last 3 times i tried to install/learn something bout linux, i had coinsidental hardware failures. woulda thought linux caused them i i didn't know better [07:19] you should try to install that and just dont put lots of stuff on [07:20] all i need is pidgin, xchat and ff3 [07:20] with those 3 apps, i'm happy. [07:20] well, hardware can be an issue b/c manufacturers dont always make working drivers for linux [07:20] so you have ppl reverse engineering things [07:20] and that can get hairy [07:21] I would stick with eeeBuntu, but put xcfe or some other lightweight desktop on it [07:21] what is the point of the 'clone output' effect? [07:21] bazhang: sir you there ??? [07:21] what's wrong with the base os on the eee? [07:21] SiegeX: you get the same picture on both displays [07:22] (don't get me wrong, we are in an ubuntu forum) [07:22] nothing, really. i just hear good things about eeebuntu [07:22] negge: ahh its for multi display. Cause on a laptop it just makes a mini-me version of what you are looking at and im like WTF? [07:22] rumors of performance gains [07:22] also, i notice that if i wanted xandros without my eee, i'd have to pay. [07:22] ZLemur: enjoin IRC with pidgin is not well.. [07:22] I am think about change to xchat for IRC. [07:22] is there any one know which point will notes for me to do that? [07:22] SiegeX: it usually needs some finetuning before you get it right. You can't use different asepct ratios on both screens, they have to be the same [07:23] well, if you put eeebuntu on it, you'd be blowing the default os out [07:23] gstreamer itself doesn't exist. it has to be gstreamer-something to encode in mp3 [07:23] Kelen, i like xchat far better than pidgin for irc - more functional [07:24] nod bj_, i expected as much [07:24] worst case, i can always get xandros back with the cd's that came with the eee. i'd have to borrow an external cd drive though, as i have nothing other than a usb key that has usb connectivity [07:24] if you have another computer, you could do a test run in a virutal environment...check the size [07:25] !mp3 [07:25] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:25] sometimes there is no free format [07:25] a good idea. might look into that when i get home from work and have some time to learn what a virtual environment technically is and how to use it [07:26] download 'VirtualBox', download the eeeBuntu iso and fire it up [07:26] Anyone that happen to have time to help a newbie to Ubuntu ? :) [07:26] it'll launch a little virtual computer which you won't have to worry about messing up [07:26] klattrup: what you need? [07:26] ok, i'll give that a shot. Virtual Box sounds vaguely familiar. i think i've seen it in passing in my many google searches [07:27] that's awesome [07:27] it's free :) [07:27] even better! [07:27] I know! === eht is now known as Weasel[DK] [07:27] definitely going to do that. hopefully if it's small enough i can get it installed via sd card [07:27] I've been told that Beryl gives alot of custumizable options, and ive used the SPM to get it and install it, but i can't seem to figuere out where the hell i find it / open it so i can configuere it :P [07:27] could be half a meg, but if i can't install from sd card, it's no good to me [07:28] if you don't have access to an external cd-rom...I would wait about trying to install anything else [07:28] (you might want your Xandros back :) [07:28] good poitn [07:29] point, rather. perhaps i can wrangle up a used one some place [07:29] how to install wine...? [07:29] but knock yourself out with VirtualBox...it's like a computer sandbox [07:29] luke_: sudo apt-get install wine [07:29] sounds like a ton of fun, actually [07:29] thax [07:30] good educational tool, too. can play with and get used tocommands without risking anything [07:30] yep === linux_ is now known as Linux[1] [07:30] i'm a stanger here~~ [07:30] is there a way to open a specific GUI app via commandline to make it use a different gnome theme than the one that is set as default. ? [07:30] hy ppl [07:30] luke_: heres a hint, when you want to install ANYTHING in ubuntu you can fire up a terminal and type in the command "sudo apt-get packagename" [07:30] heres a stupid question: [07:30] alan_m: sudo apt-get install packagename [07:30] network expert please [07:30] i have a problem whit verlihub and mysql can enyone help me :) [07:30] Stormx2: oops, yeah that was a typo [07:31] is it possible to eschew a gui to save resources except to use apps? [07:31] i'll try.. [07:31] like just use console to do everything that the apps don't. [07:31] luke_: I still cant connect to my home server [07:31] luke_: follow Stormx2's advice, I messed up, mines invalid. [07:31] !wine | luke_ [07:31] luke_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [07:31] someone have some verlihub's mysql tables :D [07:31] i imagine it's all tied together, but you never know. [07:32] the: What's the problem you're having? [07:32] it is true GUIs or rather the window manager needs resources...you won't be able to run all programs or alternatives in a terminal [07:32] my english is poor... [07:32] bi-linear filtering is sorta like anti-aliasing? [07:32] Stirmx2 : cant connect to my home server from outside [07:32] in respect to compiz [07:32] luke_: so is my memory, but we can all help out in here :) [07:32] i don't meant to run it inside a terminal [07:32] the: What kind of server? [07:32] running things in a terminal will *free* up the hassle of handling it in a window [07:32] ZLemur: you should look into fluxbox [07:33] ubuntu [07:33] the you have instaled ssh ? [07:33] luke_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine <-- follow these instructions [07:33] fluxbox, eh? i'll google it [07:33] thanks amirman84 [07:33] Xubuntu uses fluxbox [07:33] I'm trying to get xinerama to work, with fglrx.. in Xorg.0.log I get this: [07:33] (WW) fglrx(0): More than one displays are connected,so clone mode is enabled [07:33] ok [07:33] or rather a cousin of it [07:33] bj_: Xubuntu uses XFCE not fluxbox [07:33] Stirmx2 : ii libc6 2.6.1-1ubuntu9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [07:33] I just corrected myself [07:33] what i'm looking to do is free up resoures used to have fancy icons and a desktop and a task bar etc etc [07:33] ill be back tomorrow :) [07:33] libc isn't a server *sigh* [07:34] try Xubuntu...that is XFCE + Ubuntu [07:34] the, what are you trying to run? an HTTP server? A MySQL server? P2P server? Samba server? What? [07:34] so, erm, how do I get fglrx to decide to run in something other than clone mode? [07:34] "Server" can be any number of things. Or do you mean you can't connect to / ping your machine at all? [07:34] Stirmx2 : only ssh [07:34] ZLemur: gnome and kde both include a window manager and a desktop environment. fluxbox is just a window manager and can run on its own without a desktop environment which makes it super light that way [07:34] ssh server [07:34] hello [07:34] ahhh, that sounds pretty good [07:34] I would try xfce before jumping into fluxbox...fluxbox can be kindof finicky [07:34] installed everything [07:35] the, Are you trying to connect from a machine on your LAN or outside? [07:35] outside [07:35] long as it liked pidgin xchat and ff3 heh [07:35] ZLemur: they actually have put together a FLUXbuntu [07:35] well, there you go [07:35] does anyone else have a problem inserting formulas in openoffice writer?

[07:36] used it for like a month [07:36] it's a pain to configure things [07:36] but if you like the ultra-minimalist, by all means [07:37] 有没有人会中文？ [07:37] !cn [07:37] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [07:37] bj_: if you use a distro like fluxbuntu the configuration is unnessecary [07:37] ZLemur, when you do an install, you can choose what packages to have installed [07:37] hi [07:38] I'm more an xmonad man myself [07:38] that'll help with trimming [07:38] can someone check openoffice and see if the insert formula works? [07:38] not if you want things to show up in menus...have a background...and the like [07:38] now that's minimalist [07:38] hello all. how to install gcc from scratch?

[07:43] yes,sorry 243am local :( [07:43] Official support channel aa [07:43] haha [07:43] I'm trying to share some folders using samba (with the Shared Folders dialog). However, any file/folder or link to a file/folder on my /media/Media drive doesn't show up within the dialog. They work everywhere else, but not that particular dialog. [07:43] Rat409: thanks. i'll check it out. [07:44] even typing in /media/Media gives me an empty file list area [07:44] can you see anything over samba? [07:44] evidently fluxbuntu is only 1.3gb installed [07:45] ooo barely [07:45] ZLemur: it's made to be as lightweight and functional as possible [07:45] basic gdm like gnome or kde run you around 3GB [07:45] I can see all my own directories, except those from /media/Media and symlinks to /media/Media folders don't show up [07:45] i wager i can remove the default browser and replace with ff3 to help ease that hit to disk space [07:45] bj_, but I can also see other windows shares here [07:45] and save them as well [07:45] is /media/Media your root? [07:45] no [07:45] oh, dur. [07:46] so you see it, but no file? [07:46] how about i read more than just what bj_ says in case he's talking to someone else.... [07:46] bj_, no, a secondary storage drive [07:46] wine is amazing... i've already installed foorbar in my ubuntu.... [07:46] bj_, I can see it just fine everywhere. Nautilus, open dialogs, command prompt [07:46] Kartagis, you need to have an mp3 encoding library installed on your system. <--- what is the package name? [07:46] bj_, it all works flawlessly. The shared folders dialog, however, will not open anything inside the Media dir [07:46] bj_, it doesn't show any files or folders existing inside it [07:46] do other computers see it as a share? [07:47] apt-get says gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is already the latest [07:47] bj_, I can't share it, that's what I'm trying to do now [07:47] you could try mounting somewhere else...it might just be a permissions issue [07:48] but why would it work in every single place, in every single application, except for shared folders dialog. Even when I change the type to NFS it still doesn't show up, so the dialog is wonky [07:49] i installed foorbar .....but it can't work...who can help me ... [07:49] there was an error in the dialog--or gnome rather [07:49] Has anyone heard of the 'Combined Community Codec pack'? [07:49] just go to wine and look for the program you are trying to run [07:49] as in the wine webpage [07:50] ppl try to get things working all the time...it might just not work...(yet) [07:50] Seras_Ubuntu: isn't that for windows? [07:50] where can i find gcc installer? [07:51] gcc.org or your base-install repositories [07:51] i've installed yet...but it can't play any mp3... [07:51] Seras_Ubuntu that is something for Windows, yes. Also the k-lite mega codec pack. [07:51] thanks [07:51] Hey I am having trouble. I am trying to dual boot windows xp and ubuntu. If i had both hard drives connected while trying to install it wouldnt work. I had to install ubuntu. unplugged that hard drive, then installed xp. now i tried to do - root (hd0,0) - setup (hd0) but i get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [07:51] Yes, I was wondering if anyone had heard of somthing similar for Ubuntu. ;) [07:51] does anyone know how to exit full screen mode in virtual box? [07:51] Seras_Ubuntu Yup. Retrieving link, one moment. [07:52] bj: gcc.org is a community church! [07:52] Seras_Ubuntu: it's called medibuntu [07:52] I've an external drive full of assorted video files, which I'd be tickled pink to get to work on this box. As it is, I'm having trouble getting .mp3s to play. ;) [07:52] where can i find gcc installer? [07:52] gcc.gnu.org [07:52] amirman84: that's a repo.. not really a pack right? [07:52] bj_, alright, It's also happening to another partition. Both are NTFS partitions, but both are mounted with ntfs-3g. Any clues? [07:52] bj_, amirman84 - thanks for all your help. i've got a lot more to think about now. i appreciate it [07:52] Seras_Ubuntu here you go: http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2008/04/things-to-do-on-your-new-ubuntu-804.html [07:52] np [07:53] Included in that list of stuff to do is getting a lot of codecs for GStreamer. [07:53] still_here, if you want to install gcc on Ubuntu, just "apt-get install" it. ...but you actually ant "apt-get install build-essential" [07:53] does anyone know how to exit full screen mode in virtual box? [07:53] s_spiff: it's a repo that hosts a bunch of non-free codecs that arent available from ubuntu's repos [07:53] Wolfwalker: Awesome! Thanks. [07:53] where can I find drivers for Canon 400D camera [07:53] tmapj: press the left ctrl [07:53] Mind you, some of the stuff in that list of things to do I didn't do. I have no use for RealPlayer or the docking bar for example. [07:53] still_here, you can also use the Synaptic package manager [07:54] ok thanks amirman84 [07:54] micahcowan: i do not have internet connection at home, so i should install it manually [07:54] tmapj: i meant the right ctrl [07:54] I've got gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly the latest version and I still can't choose mp3 encoding in sound-juicer [07:54] you should be able to do: sudo apt-get install build-essential [07:54] Wolkfwalker: Eww, I've no use for RealMedia either. ;) [07:54] still_here, oh. Well.... you're almost certainly going to need more than just gcc. The libc headers, make, a few other things... see what the build-essential meta-package depends on, and get those. [07:55] where can I find drivers for Canon 400D camera [07:55] can anyone help me configuring grub pwease? [07:55] dmsuperman_, i've used fuse to some success to something similar to what you are doing [07:55] i need to manualy edit my configuration file for my graphics drivers so i opened it in text editor, but i cannot save it it says i dont have the permissions to save it, ow can i fix this or how can i edit it in term as root? [07:55] ok [07:56] ajhtiredwolf: what's the problem? [07:56] bye [07:56] Seras_Ubuntu Be sure to put your repositories in order first though, and enable medibuntu. Otherwise your computer won't even know what you are talking about when you tell it to get those restricted codecs. [07:56] ubuntu still cant solve my problem [07:56] micahcowan: i'm going to install build-essential, i just need gcc and g++. i already installed everything it requires except for the two that i mensioned... [07:56] wolfwalker: Alright. Thanks. [07:56] robuntu: open the config file from the command line using "sudo gedit /etc/xorg(whatever) [07:56] amirman84: i installed xp on a differnet hard drive. i am trying to do root (hd0,0) / setup(hd0) now but i get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [07:57] amirman84: thanks ill try that [07:57] make sure you make a backup of your xorg.conf...you'll be glad you did [07:57] anyone know how to check what driver you're using at the moment? [07:57] ajhtiredwolf if Windows is not on the first partition it sulks and refuses to boot. [07:57] who know mysql good ? [07:58] You probably need to remap the Windows partition as 0,0 [07:58] ajhtiredwolf: sorry, i'm not that good with booting problems, i've only done minimal editing of my grub menu.lst file === Ademan_ is now known as Ademan [07:58] wolfwalker: can i leave it on the first partition and still use grub? [07:58] Sure [07:58] ajhtiredwolf: yes you can do that, thats how i do mine [07:58] wolfwalker: it is on the only partition on that hard drive, how do i setupgrub to take core? [07:58] the best way I have found to do XP+Linux is to let XP handle the bootstrap [07:58] Common practice is to first install Windows, then install Ubuntu. [07:59] anyone know how to check what driver you're using? [07:59] wolfwalker: which would be easier, but i installed vista first, then ubuntu, then i find out i need xp to run certaion programs [07:59] hei i have a little problem i installed mysql i have change the databases for verlihub but when i whant to install verlihub is telling me "verlihub's mysql tables not found" can eny one help me plzzzz [07:59] Ah [07:59] how to manually install gcc without internet connection? from which site could i get it now? [07:59] kcormier: try the command "lspci" in the commandline [07:59] ce muie sugi majh [07:59] ?>? [07:59] wolfwalker: do you know how i can check if windows is set as the primary partition? [08:00] I have no idea about triple boot with two different Windows installs. They would each have to think they are on the first partition, which might be tricky. [08:00] kcormier: never mind that just shows hardware, not drivers [08:00] what do you have running windows or linux? [08:00] if i want to slightly change the username of my primary user account, can I just alter /etc/passwd and and /etc/shadow (maybe /etc/group) and have everything flow down from that? [08:00] amirman84: that's what i was just about to ask...lol. Any other ideas? (hardy 8.04) [08:00] bj_: me? [08:00] could somebody who has an idea about my question? [08:00] doesnt seem like ther user managment app lets you change the user name [08:00] ajhtiredwolf there is a difference between primary partition and first partition. Did you mean first partition? [08:00] fire up GParted [08:00] wolfwalker: whichever windows needs to be on to function [08:00] kcormier: which driver are you trying to see? [08:01] fglrx [08:01] but installed straight from the ati site [08:01] Where, oh where was that faq?............ one moment ajhtiredwolf let me look for it. [08:01] whew, i think nobody likes me. haha [08:01] is there a GUI system information for ubuntu 8.04?? [08:01] If someone else already knows where to look for it, by all means feel free to jump in. :) [08:01] wow, there are so many conversations here... [08:01] lol [08:02] kcormier: one option is to go to system>admin>hardware drivers and look there, but the true terminal ninjas would probably give you some grep command to use that would work too === Sherry is now known as sAd [08:02] rnartos: yes, it's called "system monitor" its on one of the tabs in that app [08:02] so your kernel is under /usr/src/ [08:03] I just installed my latest fx drivers and i restarted and it went into low graphics mode, so i had to manualy configure my monitor model and fx drivers, and then i reboot but 3d acceleration is not active, so i enable it and it tells me to restart so i do and it goes back to low graphics mode, im stuck in a loop, if this helps after installing the drivers under nvidia xserver settings, when i open it it says, You do not appear to be u [08:03] amirman84 [08:03] rnartos: you can find "system monitor" in the system>administration menu [08:03] s_spiff: i think i got the binary drivers working but I don't know how to double check. Any ideas how to check? I didn't use the restricted hardware manager to install it so I doubt i [08:03] still_here: yeah [08:03] sorry..that wasn't supposed to send [08:03] try to run 3d graphics... [08:03] robuntu install automatix2 is more easy to instal nvidia drivers [08:03] wolfwalker: btw windows is under dev/sda1 and linux dev/sdb5 [08:03] amirman84: how can i manually install gcc without internet connection? [08:03] kcormier: yeah.. checking it out... try bj_ 's idea of running glxgears [08:03] or peak at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if it is using fglrx [08:03] still_here: do you have it on a disk? [08:04] amirman84: I want to know if my video card was detected successfully... [08:04] Hovsa! === sAd is now known as Sherry [08:04] still_here search the package on debian.org and other library for hem put them on cd and you can install whithout internet connection [08:04] amirman84: i have one, it was shipped to me. [08:04] Here you go ajhtiredwolf http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [08:04] still_here: the best way would be to find the .deb file for gcc from their website and just open that on your system [08:04] Start at five, using the GNU/GRUB shell [08:05] glxgears works :) So does that mean fglrx is working? [08:05] kcormier: run glxgears in the terminal.. see if u get a pop up which shows gears moving.. 3d gears.. i think that's the test for the drivers installed.. but not sure. [08:05] amirman84: i have tried it but i got an error message. === janPelesije is now known as Narfee [08:05] kcormier, go peak at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if it has fglrx [08:05] still_here: search package here http://www.debian.org/ [08:05] kcormier: i guess so... for nvidia.. i get a Nvidia Server Settings GUI where i can enable/disable.. [08:05] dunno about ATI tho [08:05] Then go down to chainloading Windows using the map commands [08:05] still_here: what does the error message say? [08:05] xorg.conf will tell you what it will load and use [08:06] alright! :) [08:06] amirman84: it requires g++ [08:06] still_here you can get g++ from here http://www.debian.org/ [08:06] amirman84: then i installed g++ and it requires gcc [08:06] still_here: then you need to download the deb for g++ [08:06] <_henchman_> hi folks :) is there like an itoa for wchar_t variables? [08:06] install them both at the same time :) [08:06] lol [08:07] how can I know if ubuntu 8.04 detected my video card successfully?? or how can I configure video card device?? [08:07] uhh....xorg.conf doesn't say really anything much about drivers. just configured video device : usefbdev = true [08:07] Linux[1]: thanks, i have tried it. but it requires gcc [08:07] try: fglrxinfo [08:07] how to download gdi+? sudo apt-get gdi+? [08:07] it's intel 965GM [08:07] wolfwalker: yeah see thsi tells me to do install (hd0) as well, which i cant do i get that error :-\ [08:07] fglrxinfo should spit out something about ATI [08:07] I got lenovo g410 laptop [08:07] bj_: what should I be looking for? [08:07] !!! [08:07] Not install [08:08] luke_ if is not working whit apt-get install gdi+ [08:08] search the package here http://www.debian.org/ [08:08] OpenGL blah blah blah ATI Technologies... [08:08] wolfwalker: setup* [08:08] ajhtiredwolf did you get into the GNU shell for commands for GRUB? [08:08] bj_: it talks about mesa...does that mean it's using the mesa drivers? :-\ [08:08] wolfwalker: the 5th link down? yeah [08:08] yes, you want ATIs drivers, right? [08:09] Hello, is there a channel for Ubuntu Mobile edition ? [08:09] yea...but I've been trying for 4 days....all sorts of ways. Nothing seems to wanna work... [08:09] No, I mean in the computer you are trying to boot WIndows in. [08:09] just tell me the cmd... [08:09] uh, wait what do you mean? [08:09] when you make changes you'll need to restart your gdm...or reboot [08:09] How do i download automatix2 i get redirected to a pioneer OS website [08:09] wolfwalker: wait hold on [08:10] it says find /boot/grub/stage1 ( h1,4) [08:10] i want gdi+ on my ubuntu....who can help me? [08:10] robuntu automatix2 is not working on ubuntu hardy [08:10] wolfwalker: should i be trying to setup on (hd1) [08:10] Are you using the computer that has the Windows partition you want to boot? Or is it a separate computer? In other words, can you try things out without leaving this chat? [08:10] wolfwalker: no its on this pc, im on the live cd === eht is now known as Weasel[DK] [08:10] Linux[1]: any other solutions to the earlier issue then [08:11] bj_: I typically after everything [08:11] wolfwalker: but it said it says find /boot/grub/stage1 ( h1,4), should i be doing setup(hd1) ? [08:11] You should first figure out which partition has the Windows you want to boot. Then use map commands to remap it as first partition. [08:11] does anyone have this : pidgin[6022]: segfault at 0 rip 7f108fc26080 rsp 7fff9b0bd028 error 4 | in their dmesg output .. or is it only me? [08:11] I don't think that restarts the gdm... [08:11] hmm...how do you restart gdm? [08:11] wolfwalker: hmmm, well i know windows is on sda1 [08:12] Oh I get it [08:12] I installed Ubuntu off of a Thumb drive [08:12] so Ubuntu thinks this is a CD-Rom drive now [08:12] ajhtiredwolf on that page I linked you to go down to "Chainloading Windows with map commands" [08:12] (How do I fix this D:) [08:12] Or something to that effect [08:13] wolfwalker: ok i see it [08:13] <_henchman_> does anyone know if there is an equivalent like itoa for wchar_t variables? [08:13] kcormier, you can do 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' or just reboot instead [08:13] Substitute your Windows partition for hd1 [08:13] hi all, im running linux and have a little network setup. The problem is im trying to connect two xboxs via computers XBOX-COMPUTER-WIRELESS---> INTERNET both of the systems are like this. I need to XBOX-COMPUTER-WIRELESS----> <------WIRELESS-COMPUTER-OTHER XBOX [08:13] sd1 wasn't it? [08:13] wolfwalker: sda.. [08:13] how can i do this easily i dont need the internet on either computer so it should make it easier [08:14] ajhtiredwolf this page also tells you how to find out where grub sees the Windows partition, and what it sees it AS. [08:14] Hi there! Our computers at work are set up the way that we (the users) don't have 'sudo'-rights. Is there any way i can install programs anyway (e.g. in my /home - directory)? [08:14] well running ubuntu [08:14] hello all [08:14] Blue-Tiger I'd suggest you leave that alone unless you want to get fired. :P [08:14] does anyone know how to increase the volume level in mythbuntu?

[08:20] Blue-Tiger, you won't be able to use .deb packages; but you can install from source (_if_ you have a build environment, which isn't standard for Ubuntu systems). [08:20] I have but it isnt appearing [08:20] where can i get a dvd? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/dvd/current/ this is 640 MB, clearly a cd [08:20] is there a setting somewhere that I cen manually set?

[08:20] Blue-Tiger, as for Opera, its installer probably supports installation to a home directory (I don't really know), and wouldn't require gpg [08:21] blue-frog: You are wrong. I tried them out. [08:21] rnartos: #suse [08:21] bullgard4: oo bad then [08:21] wolfwalker: aaahh screw it, il just have to unplug the windows once when wnating to use linux. Thanks anyway, i think this will screw up having windows and vista on here [08:21] blue-frog: yes. [08:21] valizas: you need to make a loop and read packagelist.txt line by line, and extract the packagenames only [08:21] ei guys anyone encountered printing problem in firefox?? [08:21] So I have a .flv and kino was importing it, but it was taking a really long time and there was absolutely no hardcore cycles spouting from my HDD or CPU.

There were no icons or panels. what do I do? [08:22] micahcowan: thx for the info, I'll see what i can do [08:23] ajhtiredwolf It is very simple actually. It just takes learning a few commands. Also, look at the section labeled "GRUB and multiWindows" How to hide one windows install from the other, so they will actually boot. [08:23] is there a CTRL+ALT+DEL in Linux [08:23] hans-solo: install ubuntu-desktop maybe? [08:23] I did instal ubuntu dektop [08:23] hans-solo: to kill X, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE [08:23] I was using it before I logged out [08:23] thyko: in the link you provided the one 3.3G is clearly a DVD [08:24] I have the profile for mp3 created, and I still don't have it on the list on sound-juicer. any ideas?

[08:44] smallfoot-: well I have my windows xp installed on hd0,0 right? and i have ubuntu on hd1,4 and windows vista on hd1,3. i installed vista first, then ubuntu. then xp on a different drive. so the guide im seeing is for tricking xp into being hd0,0, but it already is [08:44] amoeba, think so [08:44] hey all [08:45] smallfoot-: so im wondering is all i need to do is setup hd(1,4) and then add windows xp to the grub file? [08:46] does anyone know anything about Pupeee past what's in this link: [08:46] http://ronnietucker.co.uk/blog/asus-eee-701-notebook-with-puppy-linux/ [08:46] ajhtiredwolf, you need to edit the config file in /boot/grub/ and have 3 sections, 1 for xp, 1 for vista, 1 for ubuntu, as hd,0,0 hd1,3 and hd1,4 [08:46] smallfoot-: right, but right now it isnt going to grub, its going ot the windows xp boot loader [08:46] most notably, is it probable that ff3 can be installed on it? [08:46] easily^ [08:47] hullo [08:47] smallfoot-, ah, then you edit configure the Windows XP bootloader to chain-load GRUB, if it can do that... or you press F11 when you start the computer, and pick hd2 instead of hd1, and it will boot that instead [08:47] > is there a way to take out all the ridiculous security features on a desktop installation. Every time I do something it asks for permision. [08:47] hello i have high problem with audio and vmware player and read and read and i can solve this any have idea? [08:47] you could always modify boot.ini and add grub or the Nix image [08:47] hans-solo: yes... [08:47] ajhtiredwolf, ah, then you edit configure the Windows XP bootloader to chain-load GRUB, if it can do that... or you press F11 when you start the computer, and pick hd2 instead of hd1, and it will boot that instead [08:47] so i just installed ubuntu for the first time, i wondered if anyone can give me some urls or links with some instructions on how to set up my box as a development webserver on the network [08:47] work as superuser [08:47] hey guys..after a dist-upgrade my kernel was upgraded to 2.6.24-19...howver it doesnt appear on the menu.lst after booting....any ideas??? [08:48] ajhtiredwolf, you can edit boot.ini on C:\ on your Windows disk [08:48] smallfoot-: unfortunately not the case :-\ [08:48] ...and do everything from the terminal [08:48] hans-solo: that's a good thing. it prevents you from doing bad things with root privs [08:48] smallfoot-: only way to get it to go t ogrub right now is to unplug xp harddrive [08:48] is there a way to take out all the ridiculous security features on a desktop installation. Every time I do something it asks for permision. How [08:48] see howtoforge [08:48] you will first have to create a password for root [08:48] su passwd, I think [08:48] give that a try [08:48] ajhtiredwolf, oh my motherboard uses AMI BIOS, and it let me press F11 and then I can choose which disk to boot from [08:48] hans-solo: everytime you do something sensible only. [08:49] hey everyone [08:49] any have problem with audio in vmware with ubuntu 8.04 [08:49] hans-solo: or you could run as user root but not recommended [08:49] ? [08:49] ok, I'm completely new to Ubuntu and I'm not very good with computers (but I want to learn and try new things) [08:49] why can't I see the desktop? no matter how I boot the computer (except for WinXP) it always goes to the black text command , is there any way to get to the desktop? [08:49] I need urgent help, I just installed ubuntu using Wubi and it installed in french and I dont know how to change it to english, can anyone help? [08:49] smallfoot-: and i can, but whichever one i choose no matter what it still boots windows xp boot loader if both ahrd drives are plugged in [08:49] How do I copy stuff from a KDE app to a Gnome app? [08:49] hans-solo: and if your windows was configured correctly, it will be the same [08:49] xnv: ctrl-ins, shift-ins [08:49] smallfoot-: right now the ubuntu/vista drive is set for priority, but still it boots the xp boot loader [08:49] ajhtiredwolf, oh.. maybe its some fall-back thing that boots xp cuz it was unable to boot from the other disk [08:50] by [08:50] ajhtiredwolf, maybe GRUB is not installed on disk2? [08:50] smallfoot-: but it boots from the disk fine if i unplug the xp disk [08:50] ajhtiredwolf, oh okay... [08:50] BLKDVL[a]: your x-server is not config'd with runnable vid drivers [08:50] amoeba: Didn't work in this case. I'm trying to copy from khexedit to anywhere else [08:50] ajhtiredwolf, strange... maybe grub is configured to boot from hd0, so it work when xp disk is unplugged but when its installed, its hd1 but tried to boot from hd0 so it dont work [08:50] BLKDVL[a]: What text do you see? [08:50] I somehow found my way to language support and changed it to "Anglais (Canada)" do you think the language will be english now when I restart ubuntu? [08:51] amoeba: how do I go about fixing that? [08:51] BLKDVL[a]: nvidia chip? [08:51] smallfoot-: maybe hmm, how can i check where its set tp boot from?

[08:52] amoeba: yes it's nvidia [08:52] Danish989: if it is telling you to reboot yes [08:52] SO there is no way I can do things in ubuntu without being asked for permission every single time [08:52] blue-frog: its been speaking french with me, and I dont get a word [08:53] hans-solo: you can, but not recommended for security reasons. the password prompt is when the system is doing something that needs root privs [08:53] Danish989: learn french :) Yes reboot if you have selected anglais [08:53] blue-frog: lol, okie thanks [08:53] smallfoot-: wait no, that wouldnt make sense because linux is installed on hd 1,4. so even if it changed to hd 0, it would be hd0,4 [08:53] BLKDVL[a]: Try typing 'gnome-session' and hitting enter, see what that does. [08:54] BLKDVL[a]: try going with a clean xorg.conf. do sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [08:54] then sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [08:54] in the file browser how do I set the password [08:54] c0mp13371331337: not installed, I'll install it [08:54] how can i install a minimal console system of 8.04? [08:54] I need to save a text file [08:54] amoeba: ok, I'll try that [08:54] hans-solo: without any offense, as long as you don't know how to do it by yourself this means asking for a password when you touch sensible thing is a good thing for you [08:54] anyone?? please?? [08:54] BLKDVL[a], : not installed?? you installed the server version [08:54] ajhtiredwolf, well check the menu.lst file, to see how its setup [08:54] j #anime [08:55] smallfoot-: ah yeah it says root (hd0,4) [08:55] BLKDVL[a]: Did you install Kubuntu? Or any other flavor of Ubuntu? === Win2Ubuntu is now known as NewAnime [08:55] I am trying to change the root directory of apace [08:55] ajhtiredwolf, then thats why it boots when XP is unplugged, but not when XP is plugged in [08:55] amoeba and c0mp13371331337: Oops? and I don't know? sorry [08:55] How can I save this file [08:55] smallfoot-: so it must be changed to hd1,4 ? [08:55] ajhtiredwolf, yes [08:55] ajhtiredwolf, but then ubuntu wont boot if you remove the XP disk [08:55] I get the message "Could not save the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf." [08:56] c0mp13371331337: I know it's Ubuntu of some sort [08:56] ajhtiredwolf, but you can have several entries, so you have 1 for hd0,4 and 1 for hd1,4 [08:56] "You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." [08:56] smallfoot-: that makes sense, which one should i cahnge ? there are like 3 different root (hd0,4) for different kernel versions [08:56] hans-solo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP all explained [08:56] ajhtiredwolf, you dont need to change an existing one, you can just add a new entry [08:56] BLKDVL[a]: How did you install it? Did you download an .iso file and burn it to CD? [08:57] ajhtiredwolf, but please make a backup of your menu.lst config file, and if it screws up, boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD and copy it back [08:57] hans-solo, use sudo, or open a root terminal [08:57] smallfoot-: im actually reading this from a backup i already made ;) [08:57] ajhtiredwolf, good :) [08:57] c0mp13371331337: yes, I downloaded an .iso file, burned it to a CD, and then installed it on my other computer [08:57] smallfoot-: I am in the live cd right now, can i not edit grub? [08:58] ajhtiredwolf, no. cdr [08:58] What's the name of the .iso file? Or better yet, do you still have the link where to downloaded it from? [08:58] ajhtiredwolf, sure you, can just type "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [08:59] smallfoot-, will only change it in memory if he's running live [08:59] amoeba, hmm oh yes true [08:59] c0mp13371331337: ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso [08:59] ajhtiredwolf, mount your Ubntu partition from the LiveCD [08:59] anybody having oo.org lock ups after recent oo.org update? hardy here [08:59] BLKDVL[a], server doesn'[t have a window manager [08:59] BLKDVL[a], you want desktop [09:00] BLKDVL[a]: Ah yes, you installed the server version. [09:00] ajhtiredwolf, and edit /media/yourubuntupartiiton/boot/grub/menu.lst [09:00] smallfoot-: i will just disconnect xp drive and boot into ubuntu and do it from there [09:00] ajhtiredwolf, yeah, you can do that too [09:00] BLKDVL[a]: You can easily install the GUI by typing 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' [09:00] ajhtiredwolf, its always good how to know it from the LiveCD too, so that you can fix it, if it would break [09:00] smallfoot-: just to make sure i understand, i should just copy an existing option and change only root (hd1,4) right? [09:00] ya [09:01] smallfoot-: and then only that option will show up right? [09:01] yeah [09:01] grrrr bash..its making me crazy [09:01] c0mp13371331337: I'll try that, thanks [09:01] BLKDVL[a]: Or alternatively, if you'd rather not have all the fancy web-server stuff installed, you can download the ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso file and install fresh. Completely up to you. [09:01] smallfoot-: hmm i am thinking that windows vista wont work then, it wont be on hd0,2 anymore [09:01] smallfoot-: i dont think windows vista will work if it thinks it is on hd1,2 [09:02] can't wait til they get hot plugging to docking stations fixed.. having to xrandr everytime to switch to external dual monitors and disable laptop screen is annoying [09:02] ajhtiredwolf, well you can add menu.lst or boot.ini and add a entry for Vista too [09:02] ajhtiredwolf, yup. install windows first, then ubuntu. [09:02] c0mp13371331337: I'll try it with the web-server stuff, gives me more fun things to play with :) [09:02] amoeba: how can I edit a text file in terminal? [09:02] smallfoot-, it's a thing with Vista, not grub [09:02] hans-solo, "nano textfile.txt" [09:02] amoeba: i did, with vista, but then i found out that vista doesnt run the programs i need so i had to install xp third [09:03] amoeba, oh, i dont know, i dont use vista [09:03] BLKDVL[a]: Excellent choice. Enjoy! ;-) [09:03] Can someone help me, I installed NVIDIA driver for my 9600 GT which were working great for 2 days until I rebooted, and now the NVIDIA splah shows up still right before GNOME login and the card's fan slows down which shows the drivers are partially working, but I cannot do anything on the desktop that uses the graphics card. Any fixes to this? [09:03] amoeba: hmm im thinking that this will let me boot xp, but then no longer vista [09:03] ubuntu 9 released? [09:04] ajhtiredwolf, the correct order is XP, vista, ubuntu [09:04] JoCo, did you install them through a package manager, or direct from nvidia ? [09:04] ajhtiredwolf, don't ask. [09:04] Aryan__, 8.10 is in octoboer [09:04] amoeba: yes thats what i figured, but cant do that now [09:04] k [09:04] Aryan__, ubuntu 9.04 is in april 2009 [09:04] JoCo: They just recently updated the kernel, I'd probably reinstall the drivers so you've got modules for the new kernel. Unless you're just using the NVIDIA drivers from the repos. But I downloaded them from NVIDIA and have to reinstall each time there's a kernel update. [09:04] GibbaTheHutt: Through NVIDIA. [09:04] amoeba: but i wont be able to get all 3 working at the same time with this current config? [09:04] where do i look to find out whats the device for alsa [09:04] you may need to recompile the drivers I'm thinking as there were some kernel updates recently I think [09:04] Aryan__: that should be fedora you are looking for [09:05] whats the difference b/w ubuntu and debian ? [09:05] I have to do it every so often [09:05] JoCo, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg will take your xorg.conf back to plain vanilla.. then once done, do nvidia-settings [09:05] c0mp13371331337: Ahhhh that's probably it I noticed the new kernel in my grub menu at startup but I really don't know what that means [09:05] Aryan__, ubuntu is easier to use, debian has more strict free software rules, etc [09:05] hans-solo: obviously you haven't read the page I gave you by link otherwise you wouldn't have asked how to edit a text file in aterminal [09:05] Chrysalis, lspci [09:05] mandriva is also easy? [09:06] Aryan__, yes mandriva and opensuse is also easy [09:06] ;) [09:06] but i luv ubuntu :D [09:06] amoeba: is it possible? [09:07] yeah, ubuntu is really popular [09:07] and it works alright for me [09:07] amoeba: I thought they officially removed display support from the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command? When I first installed Hardy and was having display issues, I remember trying that and it only gave me the basic options for keyboard, mouse, etc. [09:07] ajhtiredwolf, yes, just a pain in the ass [09:07] it works on PPC also :) [09:07] amoeba: ah, so its going to be pretty complicated? [09:07] c0mp13371331337, $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [09:07] xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [09:07] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080619005740 [09:07] works for me [09:07] amoeba: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:08] !love FloodBot1 [09:08] Factoid love floodbot1 not found [09:08] * amoeba grins [09:08] LOL [09:08] Well played.... [09:08] blue-frog> most of the commands give errors [09:08] * (nautilus:8018): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported [09:08] hans-solo: which one for example? [09:09] hans-solo most commands need other info [09:09] sudo nautilus [09:09] I'd say that was the equivalent of a digital fragging. [09:09] hans-solo: if sudo nautilus gives you an error, you have a bigger probelm. what is the error message? [09:10] hans-solo, sudo=switch user do (most people mistakenly think it's super user do) which runs commands with other rights/privs [09:11] amoeba> "(most people mistakenly think it's super user do) which runs commands with other rights/privs" I don;t even know what these commands do [09:11] so I don't do much thinking [09:11] i cannot get opera to load [09:11] I just want the webserver to start working so I can get back to working on the XP environment [09:11] amoeba: i have an idea, do you think that as long as i kept some entrys for ubuntu as hd(0,4) and then another as hd(1,4) then i could just change the boto priority, so when the first hard drive has priority it will be hd(0,4) for ubuntu and vista, then when i change the boot priority for windows xp it will boot xp instead of vista/ubuntu hard drive? [09:12] hans-solo, linux has a steep learning curve initially but is amazingly worhtwhile once you get the hang of it === _max is now known as max` [09:12] ajhtiredwolf: if you are playing with your drive boot order, I'd advise against it. Also he core to using grub is what grub knows about, look at /boot/grub/device.map [09:12] ajhtiredwolf, might work. problem is Vista's TCPM roots and insiting on running a protected kernel space which is tied into the boot sector setup [09:12] Am trying to start apache2 server and it says "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName".Any help would be appreciated [09:13] amoeba: thank you so much. I do appreciate all the help. But I have a life to live and bills to pay. wish i had the time to stay and compile drivers and learn to write scripts. [09:13] can someone help me with changing the directory of the apache server please.. [09:13] ikonia: cant at the moment, in love cd [09:13] hans-solo: what do you mean change the directory ? [09:13] hans-solo, you want to move your apache installation to a different directory? [09:13] ajhtiredwolf: mount your file system if your in a livecd [09:14] i want to edit apache2.conf [09:14] hans-solo, sudo cp /path/to/apache /the/new/location [09:14] ah [09:14] ikonia: it sounds liek to get them working its going to be too hard for me >_<. did you see earlier my explanation of my setup? [09:14] hans-solo, sudo nano apache2.conf [09:14] hans-solo: ok, so /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [09:15] sudo nano apache2.conf opens an empty window [09:15] amoeba: do not suggest copying apache around like that, it will break his package manager [09:15] ajhtiredwolf: no I didn't, I was just making a passing comment [09:15] does anyone have a clue as to what I want to do? [09:15] hans-solo: you have to write the path to this file [09:15] hans-solo: you want to edit your httpd.conf file, thats in /etc/apache2 [09:16] I just wnat to edit the existing apache2.conf file [09:16] i do not want to compile or write any new webserver [09:16] ikonia: linux vista on one hard drive, when plug in xp hard drive changes linux/vista hard drive to hd1 so have to change everything in tehre to hd1, which will make vista not work because it needs to be hd0 [09:16] hans-solo: ok, thats in /etc/apache2 also [09:16] ajhtiredwolf: just leave all disks plugged in and let grub manage your booting [09:17] ikonia, he wants to but he's running into issues with Vista/xp/linux co-existing. Vista boot manager supercedes grub [09:17] ikonia: heres the problem, if all the disks are plugged in, then the disk that has vista and linux becomes hd1 right? if vista is on hd1 and not 0 then it wont load, vista has to be on hd0 [09:17] how can I install acrobat reader in ubuntu 8.04?? [09:17] ora bom dia [09:17] I tried synaptic but no acroread there [09:17] ajhtiredwolf: thats nonsens, I boot vista on a system where it is on the 3rd disk [09:17] rnartos: Ubuntu has a built-in PDF viewer. [09:17] ikonia, suggested he install in proper order to fix (vista, xp, then linux) so grub works but he wants to do it dirty [09:18] rnartos: Evince, I believe it's called [09:18] ikonia, external disks [09:18] amoeba: so ? [09:18] c0mp13371331337: but how can I install Adobe acrobat reader in ubuntu ?? [09:18] can someone please tell me how I can edit apache2.conf file to add one line (ONE LINE) [09:18] !medibuntu | rnartos [09:18] rnartos: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [09:18] ikonia: all guides and people in ehre have told me if vista isnt on hd0, it wont load [09:18] rnartos: why do you need it? [09:18] rnartos: did you not see c0mp13371331337 suggestion [09:19] rnartos: if u need acrobat, check their site [09:19] ajhtiredwolf: well, vista is not on my primary disk here [09:19] rnartos: What does the Adobe Acrobat reader do for you that Evince can't? [09:19] ikonia: ive tried it, it doesnt work [09:19] ajhtiredwolf: ok, thats your opinion [09:19] ikonia, logical partition? [09:20] amoeba: I don't have access to the machine now, but I am reasonably confident it's on a primary partition [09:20] ikonia, and you got it work on a logical non-primary? [09:20] cause you'd be one of the only people in the world [09:20] amoeba: no, it's on a primay [09:20] * amoeba ex-MS [09:20] * ajhtiredwolf has to agree with amoeba [09:20] how can i install a minimal console system of hardy? [09:21] c0mp13371331337: nothing much but I just prefer acrobat reader [09:21] j41n: Like the server edition? Without a gui? [09:21] j41n, depends on your idea of minimal. Server is non-gui [09:21] j41n, but not exactly minimal [09:21] My update to 8.04 from 7.10 is hanging at "setting up libuuid1 (1.40.8-2ubuntu2) .... could not connect to database" What can I do? Is it possible to stop the update and then restart it? [09:21] ya.. w/o gui [09:21] amoeba: would like to be able to reinstall, but ive already done so several times and now ive gotten everything configured and working in linux which was no easy task for me :P [09:22] j41n, then server is the way to go. just remove/disable services you don't want [09:22] Btw it's the server edition, if that changes anything. [09:22] can someone please tell me how I can edit apache2.conf file. It says I don't have permission === sean is now known as Guest7614 [09:22] amoeba: do you know how to make it work? or do you just know that its really hard? [09:22] i need to get it work smoothly in a 256mb ram system and 2-3 gb hdd space [09:22] hans-solo: Edit it as root. gksudo gedit file/path/here [09:22] j41n, look at the alternate installer then [09:22] hans-solo: sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [09:23] hans-solo: What c0mp said works too if you don't mind cli editing. [09:23] hans-solo: or if you want do it in console "sudo nano /path/file" [09:23] Or if you're using the Run command or some other graphical means, gksu gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [09:24] Phobiac, heh, I have to keep remembering to not say 'vi' in place of nano which I've never used [09:24] I'm pretty sure I can just restart the computer and when it starts up again I'm going to have to sudo dpkg-something but I'm not sure. [09:24] gotta run [09:24] <__ryan__> pico for life! [09:24] darnit.. [09:24] I typed gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf in the terminal window I don't get the existing file, I get an empty new file [09:25] hans-solo: httpd.conf is empty in ubuntu [09:25] well, i think im screwed, its xp or vista -_- [09:25] hans-solo: apache is not configured that way [09:25] amoeba: I, too, rarely used because I don't like it [09:25] hans-solo: Okay, in the terminal, type cd /etc/apache2 [09:25] c0mp13371331337: it's meant to be empty [09:25] hans-solo: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-04-29 16:39 httpd.conf [09:26] Ah, yes, he's editing httpd.conf, I thought it was apache2.conf originally? [09:26] Phobiac: So does anyone know if restarting the computer halfway through the update will mess it up completely? It's hanging and I can't think of any other option. [09:26] Hello, what's the kernel option in ubuntu that makes it fast on workstations ? [09:26] AnAnt: there is no "option" [09:26] AnAnt: what are you finding slow ? [09:26] ikonia: it was something to do with scheduler algorithm I think [09:27] AnAnt: you'll need to be more specific than that [09:27] hans-solo: if you want to edit files just like in windows, use the command "gksu nautilus" then you are root until you close nautilus! (but be careful there :P) [09:27] gksu nautilus does not work [09:27] ikonia: no, I just wanted to put it in a report to management, I remember that back during Dapper, the ubuntu team enabled some scheduling algorithm for the kernel images targetting workstations/laptops to make them faster [09:28] Keyboard shortcuts. What is M-\ And M- What is the M key [09:28] hans-solo: That should definitely work. Is it giving you an error? [09:28] ** (nautilus:8376): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported [09:28] SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS [09:28] ah, CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY ! [09:28] No one? Great. I guess I'll bite the bullet and just do it. [09:28] hans-solo: thats a warning only [09:28] I think that was it [09:28] AnAnt: that would make sense, I thought you meant boot option, not configuration parameter [09:28] MeVsTheVoices: M = Meta, like the Windows key, I believe. [09:29] so in reality I have to learn all these commands [09:29] hans-solo: are you in console only (w/o gui)? [09:29] hans-solo: what commands ? [09:29] to just listen to an mp3 pr watch a movie [09:29] hans-solo: just open a text editor and edit the file you want [09:29] how carming [09:29] charming [09:29] hans-solo: Err, what? [09:29] Ok thank you muchly [09:29] This sucks [09:29] hans-solo: don't use linux then, [09:29] hans-solo: If you're going to be running a webserver in linux, I would HIGHLY advise a general familiarity with the linux command line. [09:29] hans-solo, no, you such for making stupid assumptions. [09:29] hans-solo: or lean how to use it properly, your choice [09:29] suck* [09:29] hans-solo: if your job is webmaster then pay a network admin to set up your apache [09:30] Stormx2: No need for that.... [09:30] can't find anyone who knows this thing [09:30] hans-solo, you've installed apache2, I take it? [09:30] hans-solo: no solo you just don't read and whine [09:31] guys chill out, you dont have to be rude [09:31] ajhtiredwolf: no one is being rude. [09:31] blue-frog / stormx2 [09:31] /msg ubottu etiquette [09:31] I am not surprised at this behaviour [09:31] hans-solo: people are getting frustrated as your not listening to the support your being given [09:32] I did not say you guys suck I said Linux sucks. [09:32] hans-solo: and thats a very silly comment to make [09:32] then why you are using it? [09:32] hans-solo: but your welcome to your opinion and if you don't like linux - don't use it [09:32] is there an option to install only the base system in alternate cd? [09:32] I just want to get the webserver to run [09:32] and forget about it [09:32] hans-solo: then listen to the support your getting [09:32] hans-anton: perhaps you should try windows and xampp... [09:32] Neither am I. We're volunteers. Everyone here is just helping people because thats what we like doing. No one wants you making stupid and utterly unfounded assumptions. Just because we suggest you do one thing in CLI, doesn't mean that it HAS to be done from command line, or that anything else (e.g. movies, music, from your messages) has to be. [09:33] hans-solo, Open synaptic. Search for apache2. Right click > Mark for installation. Then press "apply". [09:33] Wait for it to install. Bam! webserver. [09:33] Stormx2> I did that [09:34] hans-solo: ok, so what's the problem then ? [09:34] there was no Bam and no Webserver [09:34] hans-solo: yes there is, what is the problem ? [09:34] So what's the issue? [09:34] it got stuck and when I rebooted the desktop appeared upside down [09:34] command to move a file is mv right? [09:34] MrPocknix_: yes [09:34] MrPocknix_, yep. [09:34] hi, when I run openoffice without the -nolockcheck argument openoffice freezes on run. what may be the problem? 2.4.1 on ubuntu hardy, this started after recent oo.org upgrade [09:34] upside down ? [09:34] hans-solo: "it got stuck" what got stuck ? you rebooted the desktop apeared upsdie down..... [09:34] so I think maybe these things don't work in safe mode [09:34] hans-solo: That's a problem with your video card drivers then, not a webserver. [09:35] okay so what should I fix first [09:35] hans-solo, are you planning on ONLY running apache or are you doing to use the machine as a desktop too? [09:35] can I run the webserver without this ubuntu desktop [09:35] hans-solo: sure [09:35] yeah, he shouldnt need a gui then [09:35] hans-solo: but you will have to use the command line you hate [09:36] now we are getting somwhere [09:36] hans-solo: Yeah. might be worth installing ubuntu-server. You'd need to get used to CLI first, though. [09:36] Stormx2: he doesn't need to install ubuntu-server [09:36] Well [09:36] I suppose he could uninstall gnome-desktop [09:36] shuld I download the server [09:36] Stormx2: or just disable gdm - thats it [09:36] hans-solo: no [09:36] ikonia: You'd still have all the gnome packages cluttering up the place. [09:36] hans-solo: you don't need to install the server version, the desktop version is aimed at home user kit better [09:36] where can i get the source package that was used to create ubuntu's gsynaptic .deb package? [09:36] Stormx2: so ? [09:37] should i disable the desktop [09:37] whats the cmmand to delete a folder? [09:37] Waste of space, when you can just install them in one command, wouldn't you say? [09:37] MrPocknix_: rm [09:37] thankx [09:37] MrPocknix_: rmdir [09:37] hans-solo: do you like the CLI? [09:37] is there a chat IRC application in CLI [09:37] sounds like you've disabled the desktop quiet effectively already [09:37] hans-solo: irssi [09:37] MrPocknix_: rmdir to delete an empty folder. rm -rf if it's not empty. [09:37] Stormx2: no, I wouldn't the server is not aimed at the desktop kit market [09:37] hans-solo: bitchx [09:37] I can learn [09:37] c0mp13371331337: bitchX is removed from hardy [09:37] hans-solo: no, there are several in CLI [09:37] there is no need to swear [09:37] kk [09:37] hans-solo: no-one is swearing [09:37] ikonia: WHAT??? NOOOO!!!! [09:37] hah [09:38] hans-solo, bitchx is an IRC client, fyi. [09:38] and it does whatever you say when you say it [09:38] its your bitchx [09:38] SiegeX: apt-get source gsynaptic [09:38] he's gone.. [09:38] Good riddance. [09:38] ajhtiredwolf: thats a pointless comment - don't bother making them [09:38] ruiboon: ahh, great thanks [09:38] LOL Wow, guess he REALLY didn't like the idea of bitchx..... [09:38] ikonia: ligthen up [09:38] whats the protocall for mounting a drive? [09:38] ajhtiredwolf: no - [09:39] ikonia: yes [09:39] disreguard. [09:39] ajhtiredwolf: the rules of the channels are clear [09:39] MrPocknix_, if you mean command, it'd be "mount" [09:39] ikonia: sure are [09:39] mount /dev/whattomount /path/wheretomountit -o options -t filesystem-type [09:39] idk, what else would be useful on a cheat sheet? [09:40] MrPocknix_: there is a basic command guide on http://www.tldp.org [09:40] Hi i have a problem with my apache and eAccelerator, i m unable to decode encoded files properly. [09:40] always getting this message: Fatal error: Invalid opcode 60/1/8. in /home/martin/checkout/index.php on line 1 [09:40] ruiboon: how would I turn that source package into an actual deb? Basically the latest version of gsynaptic via subversion has an option i need, and Id like to use the script already existing to create the .deb for the version that comes with 8.04 and just change the source tarball [09:41] thanks ikonia [09:41] I'm trying to use lsof to find out which process is currently asking a particular file (say the text file 'music' on my desktop). So I'm using lsof /home/bruce/Desktop/music but nothing shows up (even though I have the file open in a text editor). Same errors as in Bug #192734. Any ideas? [09:41] Launchpad bug 192734 in lsof "lsof got can't stat() tmpfs file system errors" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/192734 [09:41] s/asking/accessing/ [09:41] Brucevdk: thats the directory - not a file [09:42] Brucevdk: sorry, ignore that [09:42] Brucevdk: just re-read what youpoisted [09:42] you posted [09:42] ikonia: :) No problem [09:42] hi guys i've been having some trouble since i upgrade to hardy i can't browse my videos folder from my home folder i can watch videos i can browse music but no videos, any ideas? [09:43] kewlfuzz: any error message? [09:44] no i try to open but it sits there after 5 10 20 minutes i have to force quit [09:44] has anyone made a similar mistake to mine in installing a windows os then linux, then a windows os on a different drive, and figured out a way to get it to function? [09:44] ajhtiredwolf: yes [09:44] anyone here using dc++?? [09:44] ajhtiredwolf: but it wasn't a mistake, it was an intentional setup [09:45] ikonia: which order did you do? [09:45] SiegeX: debuild is use to build a package. you may want to refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete for more info [09:45] I believe on the workstation in question, vista was installed, the Linux, then an XP install, but I can't be %100 certain of the order [09:45] ruiboon: thanks [09:45] SiegeX: from what i understand, you are editing some files in the source and then making it into a deb? [09:46] ikonia: yeah that should be fine as long as xp and vista are on teh same hard drive, however, if vista is on a different hard drive than xp, one of those hard drives will be something other than hd0, and windows wont load on a non hd0 drive :( [09:46] Brucevdk: I doubt the editor actually has it "open" in the windows sense. Typically it's read the file and is done with it. It'll occasionally monitor changes but uses a different mechanism. It doesn't lock the file from writing. [09:46] ikonia: amoeba was talking about some special configuraion you could do to make it function but didnt want to get into it [09:46] ajhtiredwolf: nope, XP and vista re on different drives [09:46] ajhtiredwolf: you use the chain loader to resolve issues [09:47] and the grub "map" command [09:47] ikonia: hmm that i didnt get into [09:47] kewlfuzz: can you see contents of your video folder in console? [09:47] can i install ubuntu on an intel pentium3 with a 64 mb memory. [09:47] ikonia: i see a command for hiding a drive so that one can replace it, but this command looks like it has to be done every time you want to switch instead of having all os's optional in grub [09:48] there isn't a command in ubuntu to see which machines are on a LAN are there? [09:48] Stormx2: oh yeah, that's true (though I'm not quite sure what this 'windows' is you talk about). How would one go about finding out what process are writing to a file then? The command 'inotifywatch' doesn't show which process does the read/writing/deleting etc. [09:48] like a client list? [09:48] ajhtiredwolf: nope [09:48] Brucevdk: One moment [09:49] nurionn: lemme check in console whats the cmd? [09:49] Brucevdk: I heard a long time ago that bonobo-server keeps track of file changes. Maybe that'd be a good way to find out, but lots of apps do it differently. Some will use bonobo, some won't. [09:49] kewlfuzz: ls /path/to/video -oa [09:49] ikonia: lets say currently, xp is on a seperate drive, and its hd0,0. Then the grub config is currently set to load windows as hd0,3 and linux as hd0,4 so i have to change those to 1,3 and 1,4 but when i do that vista will be 1,3 and wont load. you nkow a way to work around that? [09:50] hello. is it possible for me to insall ubuntu on a pentium 3 system with a 64mb ram? [09:50] ajhtiredwolf: the seperate drive should not be hd0 [09:50] ajhtiredwolf: actually, sorry, I see what your saying [09:51] ajhtiredwolf: it looks like you simpley need to reconfigure grub to the correct partitions and use a map command at worst [09:51] reconfigure grub to the correct partitions as in changing them to 1,3 and 1,4? [09:51] pop3000: you won't get a usable desktop with that [09:51] ikonia: reconfigure grub to the correct partitions as in changing them to 1,3 and 1,4? [09:52] ajhtiredwolf: reconfigure grub to the correct partitions targets for the OS's you want to boot [09:52] guys.. how do i use this http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34903 dc++ client? does this get installed or what? [09:52] can anyone print in greyscale with evince? [09:52] Stormx2: I guess it's worth looking in to it. I just assumed there'd be some generic functionality to achieve this (such as inotify). [09:52] s_spiff: there is a version od dc++ in the ubuntu software repo's [09:52] ikonia: right so that would be linux on hd1,4 and vista hd1,3 and xp hd0,0 [09:52] ajhtiredwolf: ok [09:53] pop3000: with so low ram i would try some specific distros like puppy linux or dsl [09:53] ikonia: i know.. but when I try to download from hubs hosted on oDC... it doesn't work.. and trying odc or dc++ on wine really sucks! [09:53] ikonia: i "THINK" grub will load once i do that, hwoever i installed windows xp second so im not sure if it will over take grub in the boot loader [09:53] s_spiff: java -jar javadc.jar [09:53] !java | s_spiff [09:53] s_spiff: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [09:53] ajhtiredwolf: over take grub in the boot loader ????? what ???? grub is either on you rmaster boot record....or not [09:54] ajhtiredwolf: its that simple/black and white [09:54] ikonia: but does windows xp install its boot loader there too? [09:54] erUSUL: thanks.. figured it out.. its up and running.. have to test it now :( [09:54] ajhtiredwolf: where ? [09:54] ikonia: MBR [09:54] ajhtiredwolf: yes of course it will [09:54] ikonia: alright so then will it replace grub? [09:55] ajhtiredwolf: yes, so you'll need to re-apply gruvb [09:55] it stores its boot record int he mbr, not the loader [09:55] grub [09:55] ikonia: alright, so should i do that first? [09:55] ajhtiredwolf: if you want to use grub - yes [09:55] !gub | ajhtiredwolf [09:55] Factoid gub not found [09:55] !grub | ajhtiredwolf [09:55] ajhtiredwolf: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [09:55] Has anyone come across any guides on increasing performance of Ubuntu? I'm looking to improve general responsivness of the OS. I've already switched to Openbox and done a few tweaks but always looking for a faster experince. Any ideas...? [09:55] ajhtiredwolf: that documents the exact situation your in [09:55] ikonia: btw, if i unplug the xp hard drive, grub does load, not sure if that is usefulk information === c0mp13371331337 is now known as c0mp13371331337_ [09:56] ajhtiredwolf: probably because it's booting from the "xp" harddriver and thats where grub is on the mbr [09:56] nurionn: sorry took me a while to find path, i'm a little new but yes they do list in the terminal [09:56] "hard drive" not hard driver [09:56] Does anyone here play CS 1.6 with wine? Do you experince a hard freeze or sound issues? [09:56] hello. is it possible for me to insall ubuntu on a pentium 3 system with a 64mb ram? [09:56] ikonia: wait your saing grub is on the xp hard drive ? [09:57] PrimoTurbo: UrbanTerror ;P [09:57] ajhtiredwolf: yes === c0mp13371331337_ is now known as c0mp13371331337 [09:57] ikonia: hmm, then how is it able to load when the xp hard drive is not plugged in? [09:57] ajhtiredwolf: you said grub doesn't load if the XP disk is not in [09:57] noooo sorry [09:57] ikonia: if it ISNT Pluggged in only then will it load [09:57] hi, when I run openoffice without the -nolockcheck argument openoffice freezes on run. what may be the problem? 2.4.1 on ubuntu hardy, this started after recent oo.org upgrade [09:57] ikonia: if it IS plugged in then the xp boot loader loads [09:58] ajhtiredwolf: ahh, ok, so if it's plugged in, the boot order is booting from the XP disk first [09:58] ikonia: correct [09:58] ajhtiredwolf: if its not plugged in, it's not there so goes to the next disk, which is your grub one [09:58] ikonia: yep [09:58] erUSUL: I like UrbanTerror also, probally should go download it. But I want to play CS 1.6... [09:58] ajhtiredwolf: is that surprising to you ? [09:59] ikonia: does that mean i need to replace the xp boot loader in the MBR on the xp hard drive? [09:59] PrimoTurbo: CS is not native so some issues are expected imho but never played any games on wine [09:59] Hi, help please ! I broke my gnome configuration (starting kde4) and I don't have my toolbars, and I can't do alt+F2 [09:59] ajhtiredwolf: you need to a.) make your primary boot disk a static disk so that it doesn't change if you plug it in / remove it b.) put the boot loader on that disk c.) configure grub with your OS boot partitions [10:00] ikonia: and i would put it on by doing root (hd0,1) and then setup (hd0) right? [10:01] ajhtiredwolf: no, that depends on your device map as I said earlier, more so as you've changed the disks since grub was installed [10:01] yeah wine kind sucks for games [10:01] Primoturbo: What would you recomend then? [10:01] PrimoTurbo: Depends on the game, the older it is, the better it'll work for the most part. [10:01] ikonia: well as of now xp is on hd0,0 which is where i need grub right? [10:02] cedega is a payware wine, that has a more advanced directx emulation.. most games run better on it [10:02] yeah true, but cs 1.6 is pretty old and wine can't run steam all that well or even starcraft or warcaft [10:02] ajhtiredwolf: I don't know if your listening to what I'm saying, no, it depends on your device map as you've changed the disk layout since grub was installed [10:02] c0mp13371331337: sure - WoW works fine! ;) [10:02] PrimoTurbo: i used to be able to run Jedi Academy until i got the latest wine >_< [10:02] I'm looking for a lightweight graphical process manager any ideas? No top or anything want it to be graphical using openbox... [10:02] Wine support has a sweetspot that's around Windows 98 in terms of game support. More of the games I had from Win98 run well in wine than any other windows version. [10:02] u mean wine 1.0? [10:02] ikonia: i guess i dont know what you mean by device map then, im trying to pay attention to what your saying [10:03] Jedi Academy is based on Quake3? there is no native client? sucks... [10:03] I find that Quake2 in wine runs better then native, native port is horrible [10:03] ajhtiredwolf: I told you at the very start your /boot/grub/device.map maps hard disks to grub reference names, as your XP disk wasn't in place when grub was insalled that file will determain how the disks are seen [10:03] PrimoTurbo: htop into an xterm is pretty nice [10:03] PrimoTurbo: it used to install fine and run fine, i dont think i needed any extra configuration, this was on fedora core 5 [10:03] Nurionn: Sure, there are current games that work fine, but they're pretty few and far between. Ever tried Crysis? Or Assasin's Creed? Those and a few others are the only reason I have an XP partition. [10:03] ajhtiredwolf: you may need to update that file [10:04] i want a seperate graphical one [10:04] no top or htop [10:04] c0mp13371331337: I know that -> I've XP for "Battle for Middle-Earth" and some others... [10:05] I've been looking for a way to play Prey. I figured with the Doom3 Engine already able to be ported Native Prey should be around the corner, but i've been reading and it seem no dice, So what do I use for prey? [10:05] i will have to work on this more later, it is 2 am [10:05] ass creed should only be played on a 360... its the only platform its stable on [10:05] <__ryan__> !upslash [10:05] Factoid upslash not found [10:05] /msg ubottu etiquette [10:05] toodles === Man_of_W1x is now known as Man_of_Wax [10:08] what's the best choice for reading pdf?

[10:12] how do i turn on tabbed browsing in nautilus? [10:12] <__ryan__> 'ssh' [10:13] ninjabuntu: stick the DVD in, and from a terminal type "wine setup.exe" [10:13] ssh login:pass@ip:port ? [10:13] ninjabuntu: or whatever the setup program is called [10:13] guys, i [10:13] ok BRB [10:13] <__ryan__> you don't even have to put the login@ip if you don't want [10:14] Nitricacid: at least "ssh host", I usually specify port with "-p" [10:14] <__ryan__> but the ssh -l login yourlogin [10:14] <__ryan__> helps [10:14] ssh login@yourhost [10:14] <__ryan__> there's alot of ways lol [10:14] tabbed nautilus, anyone?

I currently installed Ubuntu on my Dell xps 1530, and I'vr noticed something about the battery life, it went from 4.5 h (in windows) to 2.5h (in ubuntu). Find this pretty weird :S [11:05] <__ryan__> clockswork, are you going by the estimate, or how long it actually lasted [11:05] a bug with mpd and alsa let me take a little closer look at alsa and then i realized alsa is using 5-10% of my cpu when its on no matter through which program, switching to OSS in every program cpu usage goes down to less then 1%. . . i spent some time googling around and it seems its something with alsa authentication thats causing the problems. . . has anyone else experienced this or has an idea if i am in the right track on fixing it [11:05] etc? [11:06] I'm just seeing the estimated time [11:06] <__ryan__> i wouldn't go by that [11:06] alright [11:07] <__ryan__> it's quite useless [11:07] alright lol :P [11:07] well I'll see how long it will last now just recharged it [11:07] <__ryan__> my battery actually lasts longer in ubuntu than windows [11:07] awesome [11:08] the command was gdmsetup btw [11:08] xnest is awesome [11:08] but the "Charged meter" works right? [11:08] Has anyone ever tried playing literati on yahoo games on ubuntu? I've installed everything from sun6 to gcj but the applets just don't load for me. [11:08] <__ryan__> yeah [11:08] <__ryan__> for the most part [11:08] So when it sayd charged to 100% it is charged to 100%? [11:08] <__ryan__> yeah [11:08] <__ryan__> that's about the only percentage i trust fully lol [11:08] :P [11:09] alright well thank you very much Ryan [11:09] <__ryan__> no problem [11:09] Lunch now, brb [11:10] ok, so i just learned that removing a package doesn't free up space in xandros on my eee [11:10] is there a workaround for that? [11:10] <__ryan__> newbee617, don't version me please [11:10] 4.5mb free isn't making me a happy camper [11:10] ZLemur, this is not #xandros [11:10] whoops [11:11] What is xandros? is that debian based? [11:11] ZLemur: Ugh, are you still running the crap xandros that comes default on the eeepc? [11:11] was talking eee in here earlier for alternatives [11:11] __ryan__: no mean to offend. sory [11:11] c0mp13371331337, please keep on topic [11:11] <__ryan__> you didn't. just ask next time [11:12] is there any good tool or command that can give me the whole hardware specifications of my laptop ?

[11:18] carlisle, java is available and should be installed from the repositories [11:19] kraft__, apt-listchanges packages [11:19] __ryan__, it would show that my wifi card is supported [11:19] oO [11:19] I have installed sun6 and gcj and anything I could think of, but the applets still don't load [11:19] hello, does any one here use the gnome-art manager? [11:19] <__ryan__> murlidhar, that command shows specs not compatability ? [11:19] at least I don't crash anymore [11:20] __ryan__, if it shows drivers then doesn't it mean it is compatible ?

[12:17] there must be a way [12:17] <__ryan__> Rockj, type alt-f2 [12:17] <__ryan__> and run it from there [12:17] \quit [12:17] & at the end does not work either. still terminates the avant [12:17] <__ryan__> Rocko, listen to me lol [12:17] <__ryan__> alt-f2 [12:18] when running somthing from a terminal, do NOT use the close button, use the 'exit' command. :) if you want the spawned processes to stay around. [12:18] thanks ryan ! [12:18] :) [12:18] <__ryan__> np [12:18] command &, then exit :) [12:19] !firefox [12:19] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [12:19] actually it should be nohup command & [12:19] so you can close the window :P [12:20] Ok... nevermind... I fixed my steam install with the msi download from the site rather then the orange box DVD exe version... [12:20] <__ryan__> microwaver, /msg ubottu etiquette [12:20] nohup has other uses as well. but ive not needed to use nohup in ages. [12:20] logging in now... [12:21] __ryan__, not quite following you. [12:21] If you are going to totally log off. I think you would want nohup. [12:21] hey all, i disabled the glx module in xorg.conf... now it runs ok, got 12000 FPS with glxgears, but i got the idea its all done my cpu and not my graphics card, any help? [12:21] <__ryan__> microwaver, try to use those commands in a private message so it doesn't spam the room :) === sean is now known as Guest48163 [12:21] exit [12:21] sorry XD [12:22] I'm connecting to the net through a GSM modem, configured in NetworkManager, but NM stays offline (thus making other apps "think" I'm not connected). How can I debug how to make NM aware of the connection? === K4 is now known as Kelen [12:22] __ryan__, doesn't !message | the same? [12:23] <__ryan__> if you're helping someone it's diff [12:23] How to extract .tar.gz to a location? anyone knows? [12:23] Kelen: -C [12:23] Kelen, i just cd to loc, then tar xzvf /path/to/the/archive [12:23] Kelen, cd location ; tar xvf path_to_file_file.tar or use -C [12:23] :) but im lazy. [12:24] * jrib does the same as Dr_Willis too, much easier :) [12:24] Dr_Willis: thx, try it. [12:24] !info unp [12:24] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.14 (hardy), package size 9 kB, installed size 68 kB [12:24] im REAL lazy. i use 'unp' [12:24] well, 90% of the time you want to be on the location you are extracting to, so cd to it before extracting is very common :P [12:24] if i'm getting a package from a gutsy-backports repo, does that mean it's packages backported to gutsy or from it [12:25] slimjimflim: to [12:25] its backported to it [12:25] ook [12:25] and you should only use that repos on gutsy === wobblyw1 is now known as wobblywu [12:25] can't believe i didn't ask that qustion a week ago [12:26] Hi [12:27] Does anyone know if/when FF3 final will be backported to Gutsy? [12:27] Yoric[DT], see the topic [12:27] (and yes, I've seen it's coming for Hardy) [12:27] I've seen the topic. [12:27] ff3 have bugs [12:27] Ok :) i missread.. heh [12:27] I don't know if it applies to Hardy or also to Gutsy. [12:28] for gutsy only if get's into backports [12:30] Hi [12:31] for god's sake, cant seem to upgrade to FF3. [12:31] I need an editor to code C(++), what is a good one? [12:31] How do you change your icons to theme ones. [12:31] * Yoric[DT] uses emacs. [12:31] not the standard ubuntu ones. [12:31] microwaver: on hardy? [12:31] Rocko, you may want to clarify that quetion. [12:32] emacs O_o [12:32] sorry. [12:32] how to view hidden files in ubuntu ? [12:32] The-Compiler: vim is your other choice :) [12:32] jrib, gutsy. [12:32] Rocko, you can select properties, and click on the icon at the top left, and pick any icon file.. if thats what you want. [12:32] venkat: view -> hidden files [12:32] The-Compiler, i like geany :) [12:32] microwaver: ff3 won't be in gutsy-repos, as I heard yesterday [12:32] I dislike vi(m) and emacs :P [12:32] Nurionn, but you still could do it manually right. [12:32] microwaver: if you want the latest software, you should be running the latest release really [12:32] Is there such a thing as folder actions? I would like all files that are copied into a particular folder to be automatically renumbered consecutively... [12:32] The-Compiler: the eclipse c++ modules are supposed to be pretty good by now [12:32] The-Compiler: gedit? [12:33] I have a ntfs external drive... is there a way to mount that in ubuntu? [12:33] Storrgie, yes. [12:33] !ntfs [12:33] Just hook it up [12:33] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [12:33] :P [12:33] jrib:where is view ? [12:33] i get an error each time [12:33] venkat: in your file browser's menu [12:33] Storrgie, you could mention the error. :) [12:33] lemme get it up [12:33] jrib, not willing to just 'upgrade' it will destroy everything I have now [12:33] one moment [12:33] Dr_Willis: Yay, it's German, so it'll be good :P xD [12:33] anyone with some tricks on how to change to a different console video mode? [12:33] (the ones from pressing Alt+F1) [12:34] The-Compiler, it is? never noticed [12:34] microwaver: not really true. It's not supposed to. In any case, you should have backups anyway [12:34] rebelThor, if using the framebuffer consoles, you can use the fbset command I recall. or select a mode as a kernel option [12:34] microwaver: I've never had a problem upgrading since warty [12:34] Dr_Willis, thanks, i'll look into it [12:34] I'm connecting to the net through a modem, configured in NetworkManager, but NM stays offline (thus making other apps "think" I'm not connected). How can I debug how to make NM aware of the connection? [12:34] Hello, I have been using Linux/Ubuntu since 8.14 came out. Since than, there have been a few kernel updates. Should I be deleting the previous ones? How often do these updates come down? Seems like at this rate, in a few months I will have at least 10 entries at my boot screen. Thanks for any input. [12:35] Dr_Willis: $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0) fiald to mount '/dev/sdb1': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. [12:35] hello [12:35] norbi: it's a good idea to keep the last known working one around. The others are safe to remove (remove the corresponding linux-image-* package in your favorite package manager) [12:35] I have problem with starting OpenOffice Calc after last update [12:35] Nurionn: what about a backport ? [12:35] Storrgie, You 'should' boot to windows. and have windows scandisk the drives. then reboot to linux and it should be able to mount them then. [12:35] Storrgie, thats the safeest thing to do. [12:36] norbi: old ones are supposed to be uninstalled automatically (eventually) or with apt-get autoremove, but sometimes I have had to delete old ones manually [12:36] thos kernells are left there for safty, if the new 1 fales but if it works, u can delete them, sure [12:36] oocalc can't start properly :/ it shows gui but it doesn't respond (freezee) [12:36] norbi: yes, if the latest kernel is working as expected, you can safely remove kernels. It's a good idea to keep one last kernel for a while when you change kernels, so if you later discover your machine can't boot the latest, you still have an alternative that works [12:37] PaulEU: Try gnumeric? :) [12:37] svat: but I must use OO [12:37] !info sc [12:37] sc (source: sc): Text-based spreadsheet with VI-like keybindings. In component universe, is optional. Version 7.16-2 (hardy), package size 203 kB, installed size 428 kB [12:37] svat: gnumeric doesn't support OO good [12:37] Sad. OO is pretty terrible, and in many ways worse than Office even. [12:38] PaulEU: have you tried starting OO from terminal and check if there are any error messages that can help to debug ? [12:38] is there a more proper channel to ask about network-manager, instead of this one? [12:38] PaulEU: why must you use OO, BTW? [12:38] glitsj16: there isn't any errors in terminal [12:38] glitsj16: I tried remove ~/.openoffice.org2/ and it doesn't help [12:39] svat: stupid question, I use it long time [12:39] Is there a fan control application for ubuntu? [12:39] PaulEU, try making a new user, and try running it as the new user? [12:39] PaulEU: too bad, maybe in ~/.xsession-errors ? [12:39] jrib, swat, philsf: Thank you. Is it safe to assume that the grub list entries will not be removed by the package management software? This will have to be done manually? [12:39] PaulEU, if it fails for all users.. thats a clue.. Not sure what it means.. but its a clue at least. :) [12:39] norbi: when you remove the package, they will be removed [12:40] norbi: they will, if you remove the corresponding -image package [12:40] norbi: Removing the corresponding linux-image-* package should remove the grub list entries. Even removing the package sometimes happens automatically (or so I've heard), but not always [12:40] hi all [12:40] glitsj16: I see a lot of warnings.. [12:40] Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x4203e0c (OpenOffice) [12:40] meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed. [12:41] Dr_Willis: I must add new user (I don't want waste space) [12:41] c0mp13371331337: well, what you adviced me, works, thanks for that. But my problem is still present. In my script, which I am alunching from cron i have a line "mkdir "$i/converted"; /usr/bin/ufraw-batch "$i"/*ARW > /home/user/.uflog;" . The mkdir part works, but the second does not work from cron. How can i fix it? [12:41] PaulEU, it wont take up more then a few k. [12:41] Hi... Ubuntu wont let me install using a seperate /home. The install gets to creating user then simple closes (no errors or anything). The log shows that "gid is already in use" as an error followed by chpasswd saying it couldnt find the user. Any ideas? [12:41] PaulEU, and you can always delete the user later [12:42] jrib, philsf, svat: Well here goes nothing, I'll tell you how it works out after a reboot :) Thanks again! [12:42] I heard somewhere that Wine 1.0 was in the Ubuntu repos. I can't find it myself. [12:42] Dr_Willis: I'll try [12:42] norbi: just make sure you leave a working kernel so we can see you again [12:42] derspankster: they are in intrepid ibex [12:42] descent, is ufraw a graphical app ? [12:42] rsk, Ah, thanks [12:42] joaopinto: no, ufraw-batch works form cmd [12:42] derspankster, you could try the 'latest' repos from the wine hq sites [12:42] !wine [12:42] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [12:43] clockworks? [12:43] jrib: Going to leave the last two as recommended. [12:43] Dr_Willis: Can I try it on via sudo? [12:43] Dr_Willis, good idea - thanks to you [12:43] Has support for separate /home been removed in Hardy perhaps? [12:43] jrib all the difference settings I have now should be kept ? [12:43] microwaver: yes [12:43] PaulEU, go for it.. no idea if that will prove much of anything. :) but heck ya can try [12:43] I just went to amd-site and the state that a utility is included in kernel 2.6.18 [12:43] !AppDB [12:43] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [12:43] jrib, wo thee if this doesn't work :P [12:43] microwaver: your ~/.* isn't touched [12:44] actually, your ~ isn't touched at all [12:44] descent, why dont you put that command train into a single a script and call it. It should be easier to work with [12:44] Dr_Willis: when I tried run it as sudo user it works properly [12:45] maybe settings are corrupted? Which? [12:45] Miglow, yeah I'm back [12:45] jrib, upgrading as we speak :D [12:45] because I don't have idea [12:45] Hi... Ubuntu wont let me install using a seperate /home. The install gets to creating user then simple closes (no errors or anything). The log shows that "gid is already in use" as an error followed by chpasswd saying it couldnt find the user. Any ideas? [12:45] Is there any way to control your fans in ubuntu? [12:45] PaulEU, well.. if it also works as a totally 'clean/new' user i would belive that.. odds are thats the issue. running as root also gives the app different permission... [12:45] joaopinto: how can that help me? What i have shown, is a part of a larger script, and I don't think it's a good idea to split it. Or, are you saying that it can help me to deal with the cron problem? [12:46] PaulEU, could be a theme/gtk/compiz issue goofing it up. [12:46] Dr_Willis: I don't use compiz [12:46] Dr_Willis: theme is default in ubuntu [12:46] sorry, i thought that was your cron line [12:47] chazco you can have problem if the user already exists, first move your user's home, install and then move your home back [12:47] How do I tell wine to look for all DLLs on my windows partition's system32? [12:48] dns53 - This approach has always worked before though, seems odd. I tried setting it to /oldhome and then changing that to mount at home, but ubuntu wouldnt boot with it... [12:48] Vixus, try #winehq [12:48] righto [12:48] jrib, svat, philsf: I have successfully removed two of the older versions of the kernel. By using synaptic, which also removed the entries in the grub list. Thanks for all your help. Another day and another thing learnt. [12:48] joaopinto, do you have any ideas of how can i make that? the script, which i am launching from cron, works flawlessly through the term [12:49] hello [12:49] descent, no clue [12:49] joaopinto, thanks for the try :) === icha is now known as marcella_ [12:50] Can anyone help me? In my script, which I am alunching from cron i have a line "mkdir "$i/converted"; /usr/bin/ufraw-batch "$i"/*ARW > /home/user/.uflog;" . The mkdir part works, but the second does not work from cron. How can i fix it? [12:50] descent cron does not set your environment, define $PATH and other variables in your script [12:50] Dr_Willis: I added new user and it works.. where should I search bug? [12:50] when i tried to completely uninstall wine, i deleted everything inside Applications->Wine and now they didnt come back after reinstalling wine. any help? [12:50] dns53, how can i figure out what variables to set, and what should they be equal to? [12:51] PaulEU, that basically proves its a user setting on the problem user. as to what setting. No idea. You could try it under a different window manager, or just start cleaning out all your settings and try running it again [12:51] PaulEU, but at least you have a clue. :) [12:52] Dr_Willis: maybe strace help? [12:52] poisonkiller, why should they? [12:52] PaulEU, i normally just whipe out all my settings :) but i also tend to use jwm for my desktop. [12:53] Dr_Willis: I'll try clean all user settings (first backup ~) and do it [12:53] descent i think if you put - before your command in cron it spawns a new shell and sets things up, you could pastebin the full script and i [12:53] Is it just me or did openoffice break in the latest update? [12:53] Dr_Willis: but not today :/ maybe later.. thanks for advice [12:54] descent: i dont know, they just should? [12:54] Dnumgis: you have problem with start OO ? Me too [12:54] it say "Locking assertion error" and throws a backtrace [12:54] is there some programm to view my graphics card activity? [12:55] dns53, thank you, i'll try that now [12:55] Ronnie_PC1: Nvidia X Server Settings tells you the temp [12:55] eh, I must go out :( [12:55] poisonkiller, i mean, f you uninstalled them, why should they come back? [12:55] I will back [12:55] is that the only place... [12:56] well that is one application [12:56] Ronnie_PC1: I dont know of anything else right now... I just started with ubuntu about a week ago [12:56] descent: when i reinstall wine, shouldnt it reappear? [12:56] still trying to get my quadro 360m to workright [12:57] descent: i just installed a small windows app, and it still didnt appear :( [12:57] i tried to run counter strike, my cpu went to 100% (1 core) but i got only 10 FPS, my GPU temp doesnt change [12:57] so i guess its running CSS fully on CPU, but i want to knoe for sure [12:57] poisonkiller, you just shouldn't uninstall wine apps in order to reinstall wine. Just reinstall wine and don't touch the apps [12:59] dns53, nothing happens now at all. I've added a "-". The cron line looks now like 57 * * * * descent - /usr/bin/convert_raws >> /home/user/.convert_log [12:59] Does anyone know why ebox, which should be webapplication if I' m right, requires x11-common to be installed [12:59] I'm using ubuntu 6.06LTS and the default NFS software to serve NFS requests. Are there other different NFS-server-software available? [12:59] It could have something to do with the dependency gconf2 of ebox, but x11comon is no dependency of ebox at all [13:00] descent: ehm... maybe you have misunderstood me, there should be a Wine menu under Applications, but there isnt one [13:00] decent: thus i cant access wine configuration, uninstall windows applications, etc. [13:01] I'm connecting to the net through a GSM modem, configured in NetworkManager, but NM stays offline (thus making other apps "think" I'm not connected). How can I debug how to make NM aware of the connection? [13:01] poisonkiller: it really seems like i misunderstood u, sorry for that :) [13:01] using apt-get i would use what syntax to get the version of a package.. apt-get -policy wine for example? [13:02] descent remove your username [13:03] Hi, quick question - I just installed ubuntu inside a VMWare Virtual Machine [13:04] It's normal to not be able to enable 'visual affects' ? [13:04] do I need to dual boot it? [13:04] dns53, nothing happens. The line look like 03 * * * * - /usr/bin/convert_raws >> /home/user/.convert_log [13:05] Bangers: well, VMWare doesnt have 3d support, so you probably have to dual-boot to see visual effects... [13:05] poisonkiller: Thaks. Do I ave to dual boot or can I do that 'install inside windows' option? [13:05] Bangers: perhaps you could try live-cd [13:06] I couldnt enable visual affects with Live CD either [13:06] and LiveCD is too slow [13:06] i want to give ubuntu a go as a real OS [13:06] Bangers: i have no idea :D [13:06] "i want to give ubuntu a go as a real OS" -> so just install it ;) [13:06] Nurionn: thats my question, dual boot or "inside windows"? [13:07] dual boot would be the most honest way of giving it a real go. [13:07] I never tested "inside windows" so I cannot say how it works [13:08] hi [13:08] Bangers; IMO, dual boot. once you get ubuntu up and running and figure out how it all works. you'll ditch windows. [13:08] okay thanks will do [13:09] Are they any issues with the 'dual boot' option from when you put the CD in when windows is running? [13:09] hi, do u speak Russian? [13:09] !ru [13:09] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [13:09] free [13:10] Bangers; that question doesn't really make sense. just reboot with the cd in and boot to the liveCD .. then install. you'll have to partition some space for ubuntu. [13:10] Bangers: the best way to try it is to use Wubi. Thus, you will dual-boot, but Ubuntu will work like a Windows-app, it will actually be a file, not a separate partition.. [13:11] descent: is it slower? [13:12] Bangers: i don't think so [13:12] hello [13:12] ive heard wubi is a little bit slower in file access [13:12] But i dont reccomend using wubi. :) [13:12] Bangers: it doesnt run in windows it creates a boot option when you startup windows and you choose to boot into it [13:12] i've found that my clock was stuck in 5 second loops [13:13] does anyone know about this issue? [13:13] or [13:13] better to use the live cd [13:13] i have set a kernel options, how can i see what options are currently set in the running kernel [13:13] Anyone set up vmware in ubuntu and get bridged networking to work?! [13:13] i guess by now Bangers is very confused :) [13:14] i.e. nohz=off [13:14] Storrgie, its worked for me befor. Ive never had to even twiddle with it. [13:14] descent ok i guess i was wrong, i believe i was thinking of solaris. i'm not sure what variables your shell script needs, but cron does not define much and does not call the normal scrips like your normal shell does [13:15] Storrgie, i do install the vmware-server packages however. [13:15] Storrgie: i have..althought i never had a problem with it [13:15] I think i'll go with Wubi, thanks. [13:15] can anyone tell me in what file the proxy server is configured? i made a type during install.. [13:16] Well i just installed vmware workstation [13:16] <[[mimpii_inddahh> alow [13:16] *typo [13:16] and specified my wireless adaptor as the bridged one === [[mimpii_inddahh is now known as vixz_metalz [13:16] but when i start up my XP virtual machine it can only get private addresses [13:17] i wonder if its because my network is wep'ed [13:17] i wonder if it was open... i might be able to connect [13:17] that might be my issue [13:17] so maybe i shouldnt do bridged? [13:18] Storrgie; #vmware may be better help.. i use NAT for all my networking fun in vmware [13:18] Storrgie bridged allows you to have it sitting on your normal network so you can use it as if it was real [13:18] Storrgie: thats a known problem [13:19] hello i have some problems with starting ssh on ubuntu server .... : sshd re-exec requires execution whith an absulute path [13:19] When i try to reboot my Ubuntu hardy system something goes wrong, the system doesnt reboot but remains in gnome. I can't access the gnome panel etc. I have to switch to another tty and reboot through the terminal. How can i trace this bug to make a nice report? [13:19] any idea ? [13:19] aikiko: what exactly are you doing? [13:20] bastid_raZor: could you explain NAT real quick to me? [13:20] j #semarang [13:20] mgolish: trying to start ssh deamon [13:21] aikiko: if you do sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start? [13:21] anyone? the file where the proxy server is setup? [13:21] MirrorSpock, proxy server for what app? diffent ones can have different settings. [13:21] hello [13:21] hi [13:21] http://counter.opensuse.org/ [13:22] MirrorSpock: its either somewhere in gconf, you can change that using the System-Settings-Proxy thing in the menu [13:22] t.t [13:22] gkdl [13:22] that works ... strange because few month ago i started it with sshd command ... thanks a lot [13:22] for apt, i mistyped it in the initial setup of ubuntu [13:23] MirrorSpock: try echo $http_proxy on a terminal [13:23] does it print out something? [13:23] MirrorSpock, that may be in /etc/apt/SOMTHING [13:23] bastid_raZor: you there? [13:23] not in $http_proxy.. [13:23] ah, found it in apt.conf [13:24] (was looking in networking) [13:24] MirrorSpock, one is apt specific. :) sunce you mught want apt to use a apt-caching proxy. [13:24] Storrgie: in nat mode the host will act as a nat router to the vm [13:25] mgolisch: is there any special setup i will have to do? or just switch to nat mode? [13:25] Storrgie: usualy just switch to nat mode and have your xp vm use dhcp [13:25] that should be all usualy [13:25] i only want it to be able to uas apt, so that's a plus, i knew about the other http_proxy's but wanted to use this one [13:25] thanks very much [13:25] doesnt open private chat window [13:25] vmware should have a dhcp server runing for the nat interface by default [13:26] mgolisch: thank you kind sir, have time for another question? [13:26] sure [13:26] (turns out i didn't mistype it, i set up the wrong network adapter in vmware :p ) [13:26] I have a dell m4300... I would like to get the gfx accel working properly and the sound working properly [13:26] i have tried some things, but the sound is still 'jittery' [13:27] Storrgie: all sound? [13:28] mgolisch: hmmm, some sounds... I guess it depends [13:28] it might be due to different ways those sound sources access your sound device [13:29] like some players/progams might use the alsa interface directly some might use some soundserver like esd/arts/pulseaudio [13:29] mgolisch: im pretty new to linux.... so there isnt a driver I can download that will help me out? I will have to configure for each program? [13:30] hi people, is there any place I can get amulegui v. 2.1.3?

Those are normally detected without problems [13:43] Mille: "nice" is the way to run a program with modified scheduling priority (nice -n , ranges from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable) .. experiment away [13:43] Danielle4242: what makes you say that it's not detected? [13:43] She may have an updated video card. [13:43] is there anyway i can remove my user account and use the root account? [13:43] !sudo > midnighthacker [13:44] Rocko: the Inspiron 6400 isn't exactly bleeding edge [13:44] Storrgie: yeah, the bridged thing wont work with wlan, but the nat thing should usualy work if its setup properly [13:44] soundray: Still no change. What is supposed to be happening? Where did you hear about this command? [13:44] midnighthacker: please don't try that, it's very insecure [13:44] i mean to login on the desktop [13:44] midnighthacker not safe [13:44] midnighthacker sudo passwd, userdel name [13:44] cuz i cant update firefox or ubuntu or nothing [13:44] !noroot [13:44] Jack_Sparrow: !nobot [13:44] midnighthacker: boot in rescue mode [13:44] ah [13:44] lol true [13:44] mgolisch: what would you suggest for... setting it up properly [13:45] so ur saying just wipe it out and use root insted of puting in another admin user [13:45] i can't say i like inspiron :) [13:45] Danielle4242: is there anything usefull (errors, warnings) in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? Might help if you could paste that at paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url so we can have a closer look. [13:45] althought i got a XPS [13:45] soundray - At the beginning when I first installed Ubuntu it was at some crazy resolution (a couple settings above 1024x768), so I reduced it, the text was blurry when I did that so I restarted. Now I get an error when the computer starts up and I can't go bigger than 800x600 [13:45] Storrgie: id rerun vmware-config.pl and have it setup a nat network for you [13:45] boot in rescue mode then what [13:45] Storrgie: if vmware-workstation is configured using that [13:45] m-c: I didn't hear about it -- it's just how you configure those settings of the clock applet that aren't accessible through the dialog. [13:45] im new to ubuntu sorry [13:45] only used server here [13:45] midnighthacker Please explain why you think you need to do that [13:45] midnighthacker: then you are root, and can repair everything [13:45] anyone else been stuck with a partial upgrade for awhile now? tzdata seems to be causing issues and now a few linux kernel packages. [13:45] midnighthacker: One of the biggest features is that you do not have to login as root, with Ubuntu. [13:45] m-c: open gconf-editor and see if you have a /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/ key [13:46] how do i list the running processes on my machine? i got an error that my mouse couldn't be grabbed, and there might be a malicious process... [13:46] anyone here who knows how to delete the textshadow from Eterm [13:46] onats: top [13:46] but all access is root even though im an admin and i cant update firefox says u do not have access not the owner [13:46] Danielle4242: but you can log in at 800x600 ? [13:46] onats: that's unlikely [13:46] onats: and a little bit nicer htop [13:46] cant click the update tap [13:46] onats: what exactly caused the error? [13:46] tab* [13:46] midnighthacker it is a BAD idea to run as root, especially if you don't know what you are doing, if you need root you use sudo to temporarily get root privs [13:46] gordonjcp, i opened package manager [13:47] finux__, thanks! [13:47] onats: np :D [13:47] Danielle4242: try setting your monitor type properly with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [13:47] midnighthacker how did you install firefox [13:47] so then how do i get root priv though terminal and update firefox [13:47] um, i have a problem. [13:47] i'm also getting red flags from my firewall logs, attacks on port 139, from IP 192.168.150.1 [13:47] ok I have hit a snagg installing some games...

[13:50] i click the update thing and the 7.04 update aint there [13:50] how else do i upgrade [13:50] m-c: if you look up /panel/applets/clock_screen0 (it might have a different number), you can set the prefs/format string for that particular instance to 'internet' [13:50] midnighthacker sudo update-manager -e [13:50] let me try it [13:50] midnighthacker: are you on broadband or dialup?

[13:54] !firewall [13:54] Mille: [13:54] Sorry no bot this am Mille yes [13:55] Mille: Ubuntu has iptables running at all times, but by default there are no rules. You can either use the iptables command to administrate it, or install a graphical tool, such as Firestarter. [13:55] Mille: Then again, theres nothing listening by default either. [13:55] thx dns53 thats working so far, u wouldent happen to know how big the update is do u? [13:55] Jack_Sparrow: sorry, I'm not aware of any [13:55] i see. i was looking at ufw, but i see it isnt' enabled either. i'll look into firestarter. thank you. :-) [13:56] ok now its saying Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. [13:56] midnighthacker big, depending on what you have installed, it may be better to just install the new release instead of upgrading through all releases in between [13:56] one other thing. is there possible to do anything about the slow transfers in msn, using pidgin? [13:56] dns53 I had not seen that used for edgy.. what does update-manager -d do? [13:57] Can anyone help me with java applets? I can't get them to load in ff.

[13:58] yepp [13:58] k [13:58] no [13:59] Jack_Sparrow i would hope so ;0 [13:59] I tried yahoo games and it brings up an error page with links for java downloads [13:59] carlisle: do you have a java plugin installed at all for ff ?

But really, does it install into the NTFS partition? i'm confused. [14:04] home_: check the cd for defects by booting the cd and choosing that option from the boot menu [14:04] ceceboy: have you checked that line-out is unmured ? [14:04] *unmuted [14:04] archibold_tinker: yeah, i can not play RMVB format with Mplayer, and i wanna know which one is better for me. [14:05] glitsj16: i'm new to ubuntu, no, how to check that? [14:05] RMVB? kelen: [14:05] the_darkside_986: wubi installs itself into a disk image that's stored inside Windows' NTFS [14:05] glitsj16: and what is unmured?

ALSA, pulseaudio, Esound, .. ? [14:09] archibold_tinker: OK, so you usually watch movie with format *.avi?

[14:18] lol at having to reconfigure vmware workstation for every freaking kernel update [14:18] ceceboy: hehe, no worries, try to get it fixed, i'll hold [14:18] glitsj16: do you have that too sometimes? i just have to restart then [14:19] folks, how can I restore my data from another windows account.. [14:19] ceceboy: rarely, but i run the mean and lean xubuntu :D [14:19] Talio-Gladius: whats so lol about that? [14:19] both are installed on the same harddrive, like when they used to ask us during hardy heron's setup [14:19] redheat, you just need to backup and restore your home dir [14:20] i think its about importing stuff from the windows partition [14:20] no idea [14:20] never done that as i dont use windows [14:20] :) [14:20] jaopinto, how can I restore that windows account.. you know what I'm saying.. when hardy heron used to ask us during the initial setup [14:20] ah, ops [14:20] mgolish: just having to do it when I really needed a VM pronto. I'm just glad I remembered how to trick it for the version number. It's this issue http://communities.vmware.com/thread/108501?tstart=0&start=0 [14:20] any one help me out? [14:20] windows, forget, I have no experience with that import function [14:20] glitsj16: i see :P i just installed Wubi, running updates atm, then i'll restart (bb in 5 minutes i think) [14:21] k? [14:21] generic: depends on your question [14:21] ceceboy: ok, see you soon [14:21] hi [14:21] what should i grep for dmidecode to know the chipset [14:22] hi, there! [14:22] Hi... Ubuntu wont let me install using a seperate /home. The install gets to creating user then simple closes (no errors or anything). The log shows that "gid is already in use" as an error followed by chpasswd saying it couldnt find the user. Any ideas? [14:22] kaushal: what chipset? [14:22] kaushal: what chipset? [14:22] of the motherboard [14:22] archibold_tinker: it is a code also as w32codes? but it is supports mov, wmv and more video formats? [14:22] People... I have a client using edgy yet... [14:22] soundray i install ms office 2003 on wine1.0rc5 all good when i open a work doc right clik and open in ms office it opens blank doc the i go to file open the same doc it opens [14:23] whats this issue is [14:23] ? [14:24] generic: maybe nautilus passes the wrong path? [14:24] generic: or how do you opne that document? [14:24] kaushal: don't grep, just glance over the whole content. There is a section "Base board information" [14:24] ok [14:25] i have a major problem! i tried installing a game via WINE, first it turned off my CCSM functions, now i have no graphical interface [14:25] generic: perhaps you should run explore.exe in wine and open your document from there [14:25] Hi === login_ is now known as Jenny8399 [14:25] OK [14:25] soundray i dun have explorer [14:25] yeah or write some nautilus script that passes a correct path to the file [14:25] when i log on it says "would you like to diagnose the problem" and then at the bottom it says "no screens found" [14:25] but this is really odd [14:25] so i have no graphical interface, just the terminal line [14:25] O_o [14:26] I went from Windows to Ubuntu. I saved my profile of thunderbird, now how do I import it into my ubuntu thunderbird? [14:26] like configure a winedrive to your $HOME and let nautilus pass a path using that winedrive [14:26] i add this in link on desktop too wine "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/OFFICE11/WINWORD.EXE" [14:26] Mark_: looks like that game messed things up pretty badly .. what game is it ? [14:26] generic: look in $HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/explorer.exe [14:26] !ping [14:26] glitsj16: back, can you give me the names of the files again? [14:26] glitsj16 diablo 2 [14:26] What is the name of the ubuntu IRC bot today? I just wanted to PM it to get some info. [14:26] Kelen: vlc is a media player that uses ffmpeg to play almost any file you throw at it. mplayer uses xine (i think) you need to have a codec installed that will playback real media (w32codec) [14:26] !ping [14:27] glitsj16 i think i might have to reset my xorg.conf to the latest backup...but i don't know the command line for that [14:27] ceceboy: welcome back, it was /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and /etc/pulse/default.pa [14:27] mplayer mainly uses libavcodec like vlc [14:27] what's a good partition for 120GB? [14:27] R2LM: it's down at present. Ask us. [14:27] onats: What wrong with gparted? === archibold_tinker is now known as archibold [14:28] Mark_: try sudo cp /etc/X11/ /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:28] see my blank doc is opening thing is if i right clk on a file and try to open it in ms office it wont open [14:28] how i gave nautils the right path [14:28] onats: please clarify your question [14:28] glitsj16 what is the normal recommended backup name? is it xorg_backup.conf...hmm, maybe i can find it [14:28] R2LM Bot is in for 100 mile checkup [14:29] I'm having trouble netbooting ubuntu. it loads up and a prompt comes up to choose boot options. if I hit enter (default settings) then it hangs at a black screen. any ideas??? [14:29] soundray: OK, I'm looking for info on a Intel Pro/Wireless 4965AGN wireless card--is the 4965 an Atheros based chipset? And do you remember the place at help.ubuntu.com where I could look it up? [14:29] i meant, the number of GBs to split up. i also have 2GB of ram [14:29] glitsj16: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21398/ & http://paste.ubuntu.com/21399/ [14:29] Mark_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf* [14:29] Mark_: there is a failsafe to fall back to, but i hope you made a backup of xorg.conf yourself .. try sudo ls /etc/X11 to get the dir content [14:29] R2LM: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo is the bot link [14:30] ceceboy: thx, will have a look and report back ok ? [14:30] glitsj16: ok [14:30] R2LM: as to the specifics -- sorry, I don't know (except that Intel probably won't use Atheros, since they make their own chipsets) [14:30] glitsj16 i see it, but i know it's not very recent...could you briefly describe to me the failsafe [14:31] hello all, I've tried the Modedebug "yes" option in my xorg.conf to see more debug output in the xorg.0.log, all worked fine but ... I tried then to remove de Modedebug "yes", then I restart the X server with CTRL+ALT+BKSPACE, but the ugly VESA mode is still there and I can't have the visual effects :'(, Is that only Gnome related ? [14:31] soundray: OK thanks for the info! [14:31] Hi, I have installed Ubuntu Hardy on my laptop and I noticed that my HD is constantly reading/writing although I wasn't doing anything on the system [14:31] I started up iostat and can see that contantly about 3MB/S is written to /dev/sda [14:31] seems a bit odd? [14:31] hey there, can I upgrade 8.04-32bit to 8.04-64bit without losing everything? and SHOULD I? (now that I have at least a 64bit CPU) [14:32] I let my laptop on idling for 8hours but still the HD is writing 3MB/s [14:32] jeanke: it's probably trackerd indexing your files. Give it an hour and check again. [14:32] The-Seiman: what graphics card are you running? [14:32] jeanke: I see [14:32] pissed pissed pissed [14:32] Mark_: probably wiser to reconfigure X -- run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:32] archibold: Intel, before the Modedebug option, all the effects and 3D rendering worked fine [14:32] onats: british pissed or US pissed? [14:32] yo [14:32] Hello [14:32] onats: please behave professionally in this channel [14:32] I just installed 7.10 and did´nt read the info that well, and now all my data files are GONE.... can i go back in time? [14:33] bathroom pissed LOL [14:33] soundray, sorry :/ [14:33] carlisle: damn .. forgot that one [14:33] glitsj16 ok...hmm..also, how do you restart X from command [14:33] Hi all. I have about 400 desktop computers with windows XP installed. My boss wanted me to get linux installed so I used WUBI (Kubuntu) because it is just that easy,My problem is that I roll out images with ghost and I have no idea how to make kubuntu prompt you to change the hostname for the first boot. [14:33] so anyway, i'm thinking of completely wiping my other OS. what's a good partition size for /, /home for a 120GB hdd, with 2 gigs of ram? [14:34] archilord: I'll restart again my PC ... [14:34] Mark_, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [14:34] #ubuntuforums [14:34] i have a collection of about 140000 .sim files (that's the extension), while i can easily find them with 'find', how do i go about removing all of them? if i pass the files to rm via rm `find | grep \.sim`, of course, it tells me the argument list is too long. [14:34] joaopinto thanks! [14:35] onats: In my opinion: 3 gb swap, 15gb /, rest for /home [14:35] Thank you :-) [14:35] Crashinit6: I don't think it's such a good idea to deploy wubi like that... It's really best suited for testing whether you like Ubuntu before you do a partition-based install [14:35] I just installed 7.10 and did´nt read the info that well, and now all my data files are GONE.... can i go back in time? [14:35] the gdm restart worked fine [14:35] glitsj16 i used the backup before the reconfigure...then restarted x, so far so good...i have a visual interface...now to see what has changed! gah! [14:35] Crashinit6, you could setup an init script for that [14:35] Pici, 15GB, i won't run out? what if i have virtualbox images, where do they get stored? [14:35] ircleuser: sure, i can sell you my time machine [14:35] Sinnerman: use xargs or recompile your kernel [14:35] Mark_: sorry was looking at a pastebin, you can always Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to restart X [14:35] ircleuser: got bored of talking to hitler and confucius anyway [14:36] gallez...pleas do! [14:36] Crashinit6: but to answer your question, a script called from /etc/rc.local that then deletes its entry from that file would probably do the trick. [14:36] ceceboy: just a minute please ok, be right there [14:36] jrib: what? that's a little long-winded. anything shorter? i just need to delete a bunch of files. [14:36] not sure [14:36] onats: If you store them in your user dir, then its fine. Otherwise, you'd need another partitioning scheme. [14:36] I'll soon find out [14:36] Sinnerman: or use -exec with find and match the extension properly with -iname... What's shorter than xargs or this suggestion now? [14:36] How can i see if a video i have created is really 16:9? [14:36] i use thunderbird, and my dad uses outlook, when he sends emails and i reply, my messages are at the bottom, and when he replies, his are at the top, is there any way to modify thunderbird to automatically have my replies start at the top the same way outlook does? [14:36] glitsj16: np [14:36] ok, seems to be myth-backend causing it... [14:37] Will Wubi have a problem? I normally sysprep windows before i deploy it. [14:37] glitsj16 everything seems back to normal for now...after using the cp command above, with my backup file remand where it was (xorg.conf_backup [14:37] Pici, and anything temporary goes in the swap space right? [14:37] jrib: ill look into your second suggestion :). [14:37] can anyone tell me how i can save the contents of xorg.conf after i edit it? [14:37] OMG. I backed up my windows thunderbird email profile. How do I import the email profile on Ubuntu? [14:37] glitsj16 *will? [14:37] Gallez gksudo gedit [14:37] Mark_: good, glad it got you back to normal [14:37] Gallez: you need to be sudo [14:37] Sinnerman: there were 3 though. pass to xargs, recompile kernel, use -exec (or -delete) with find [14:37] onats: Well, techincally it goes in /tmp but you really dont need to worry about that. Swap is more like the pagefile on windows. [14:37] Jenny8399 checking now [14:37] anyone else getting pageload errors in fx ? [14:37] wow [14:37] Crashinit6, if you are redeploying from scratch, I mean reinstalling the whole system, why not go with a partition install instead ? [14:38] it almost worked [14:38] Pici, but /tmp will consume from the 15GB partition right? [14:38] Sinnerman: if you google the error, you'll get the exact syntax you need by the way [14:38] Thanks Jack_Sparrow [14:38] jrib: pass to exec, or delete, with find. [14:38] soundray [14:38] Crashinit6: I can't claim extensive experience, but I wouldn't consider wubi ready for a full productive environment [14:38] Mark_: check your /etc/X11 dir and make the relevant copies i'd suggest (via the same cp command used earlier) [14:38] I just see the advantage of Wubi if you plan to keep the existing partitions [14:38] Jenny8399 tools inport? [14:38] soundray: will the script run everytime i boot kubuntu then? [14:38] jrib: sorry, use find, with the -exec or -delete switches, i meant. [14:38] is it possible to make the icons on the desktop stick to a workspace? [14:38] with WUBI you dont have to repartition, you simply install on the same partition correct? [14:38] ok [14:38] soundray, isn't wubi officially supported ? [14:38] Tophat, correct [14:38] ceceboy: okay, back to the pastes, sorry for the delay .. ok if i pm you with any tips or further questions ? [14:39] Tophat: correct [14:39] joaopinto: I think it is [14:39] this is odd. I just loaded a games applet and it started, showing the applet and loading room lists, then it crashed and brought up the missing plugin message. [14:39] one one thing when ever i make a new doc , xls,ppt file and save it it saves ok but anothr file with same and and extension appears with file logo what this is for [14:39] so i cant recover lost data after installing the bew ubunt? [14:39] glitsj16 sure...where is /etc/ again..? :) :) [14:39] Tophat Please read all of the wubi faq before you use it... [14:39] i use hardy.. whenever i press any number on the number pad, my session gets logged off and im taken back to the loginscreen... can anyone help? [14:39] PM is fine glitsj16 [14:39] I will do that, seeing that it might cause less problems [14:39] soundray, that usually means production ready ;) [14:39] Jack_Sparrow - It just shows Communicator 0.4x [14:39] joaopinto, yes wubi is officially supported.. [14:39] joaopinto it is officially supported... but I will not use or recommend it [14:39] !paste [14:39] onats: Its really doesnt get that big [14:39] Communicator 4.x mind you [14:39] well ive got ubuntu running a full install, but ive never used it and just curious how it all worked. (finds source code) [14:39] jrib: xarg would probably serve me better, but right now, the learning curve is a little too steep. i need something i can do in a couple of minutes. thanks for pointing me out in the right direction. [14:39] why can i not go to www.sweclockers.com in FX3 but it works in opera? :/ [14:39] Eh, I can't find bug in OO :/ [14:40] Mark_: cd /etc/X11 will get you there [14:40] onats: Thats how I have my partitions setup and it works fine here. [14:40] Jack_Sparrow, that is your personal oppinion, I will use and recommend on specific cases :) [14:40] Jenny8399 giime a sec to export my settings and look at the file [14:40] ok [14:40] Hola [14:40] bot offline? can someone please tell me the adress from pastebin? [14:40] glitsj16 can i see it visually? [14:40] hello [14:40] Nurionn: paste.ubuntu.com [14:40] how can i update software like gnome, open office or firefox? [14:40] Pici: thx [14:40] without uninstalling the old versions [14:40] Nurionn, pastebin.com [14:40] joaopinto YOu are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else [14:40] soundray: thanx, I will create a dedicated partition for kubuntu. [14:40] http://masfresa.com/ [14:40] hi, i'm installed the newest ubuntu, but i can find something like xmms... do exist an alternative? [14:40] how can i install a theme in ubuntu 8.04? [14:41] loner - check out emerald its really good for creating personalized themes and such [14:41] hey, everyone. i have a question regarding RUBY: how do i install facets under ubuntu? ("gem install facets" says that it can't find facets anywhere in the repository) [14:41] ihmselbst_ubuntu: audacious [14:41] soundray That init script. Will it not constantly run everytine you boot into kubuntu? [14:41] thx [14:41] loner - sudo apt-get install emerald [14:41] joaopinto: would you recommend it for deployment on 400 XP machines? ( Crashinit6) [14:41] Tophat, i have installed emerald [14:41] Crashinit6, you just need to use a flag file like /etc/first_run, that you will deleted after running the script [14:41] does an [14:41] i use hardy.. whenever i press any number on the number pad, my session gets logged off and im taken back to the loginscreen... can anyone help? [14:41] sorry [14:41] Crashinit6: that's why I said it should delete its own call from /etc/rc.local once it's done its job. [14:41] loner - System > Preferences > Emerald theme manager. [14:42] Mark_: you will have to run a file manager to do that with root permissions --> gksu nautilus (the usual 'be carefull!! applies) [14:42] loner - you can also google for emerald themes, which are very abundant. [14:42] thank you [14:42] * Guest5001 hi [14:42] Pici, ok. will backup first. thanks [14:42] ok, I'm new to scripting but i'm following [14:42] does anyone know where i can read Ubuntu's policy on upgrades? === Guest5001 is now known as kamsing [14:42] glitsj16 ah right :) thank you so much, i was kinda scared there for a minute! [14:43] hi, Is there any way to save my disk space and internet band without downloading large message in Evolution Mail ? [14:43] soundray, if the idea is to "add" Ubuntu to an existing partition, yes, it is probably easier/safer to do a mass deployment compared to the repartition approach === gardar is now known as gardar`afk === erUSUL_ is now known as erUSUL [14:43] Is there any way to fix overscan with a nvidia card? Nvidia-settings doesn't seem to have anything [14:43] So, if I'm looking to avoid a lot of pain and hassle...is it an alright idea to use emerald? Does anybody have any links to pictures of things emerald does that normal compiz window decorator doesn't do? [14:43] Where do I put my Windows Thunderbird Profile in my Ubuntu Thunderbird? [14:44] God I'm hating Ubuntu [14:44] Mark_: you're welcome :) .. not a bad experience though, now you now how to recover from these kind of events [14:44] hmmm soundray, I'm afraid that script didn't do the job. [14:44] glitsj16: I think that I should bug raport from OO [14:44] Jenny8399 what is the file extension on that. [14:44] i also have another question, after installing this program...i cannot uninstall it...wine says "file c:\windowsDIIUnin.dat not found" [14:44] Crashinit6, just make sure the base install includes an /etc/first_run , and delete after a sucessfull initial config, also probably it would be wise to not start X on the first run [14:44] erm, wize [14:44] carlisle: remind me [14:44] Jenny8399 thunderbird import has nothing to do with ubuntu [14:44] the one you showed me to run 32bit ff on an amd64 machine [14:44] glitsj16 i was thinking the same thing :) any idea on why I can't uninstall the program tho O_o [14:44] firefox [14:44] PaulEU: still having the 'pager' errors ? [14:45] glitsj16: yes [14:45] Still can't load java applets [14:45] Jack_Sparrow - Well the video card doesnt show up [14:45] Mark_: that path seems to be wrong [14:45] carlisle: did you read the section specific to your release? [14:45] Jenny8399 You could go read the thunderbird help page on mozilla [14:45] glitsj16: I created new account and it works.. [14:45] Jenny8399 SOunds like ati [14:45] glitsj16: I think that a file is conflict with OO [14:45] Crashinit6, being a bit annoying, why are you chosing wubi over a part install ? [14:45] I read the readme and the instructions [14:45] carlisle: *ubuntu release [14:45] How do I go about setting up/enabling dual-monitors? Right now my second monitor is just a clone of the other screen [14:45] yes I chose hardy heron [14:45] PaulEU: yes DrWillis proposed that, better file the bug rapport nionetheless [14:46] Jenny8399. ~/.mozilla-thunderbird [14:46] how do i see what soundcard i got? [14:46] .. of to ceceboy, he's been waiting long enough :) [14:46] glitsj16: but this was other problem.. I should accept ? [14:46] carlisle: are you running firefox32 now? [14:46] yes [14:46] hai friends [14:46] :p [14:46] carlisle: and is a java plugin listed when you enter about:plugins as the URL? [14:47] jagggy, lspci [14:47] ty [14:47] I already have base images ready and and wanted to get it deployed in three weeks [14:47] arashOio - where do I type " ~/.mozilla-thunderbird" to get to ~/.mozilla-thunderbird? [14:47] http://masfresa.com/ [14:47] where should submit the report about crashing of fspot [14:47] yes many [14:47] mgolisch would you suggest another way to uninstall it? should i just delete the folder in .wine? [14:47] this just means that i have to start from scratch again, but that is ok [14:47] GCJ nad a whole list of files [14:47] carlisle: then you need to remove all except the one you want to use [14:47] Jenny8399. in terminal type: nautilus ~/.mozilla-thunderbird [14:47] applet has iced tea [14:48] Crashinit6, well, I believe it's possible to convert from a wubi image to a real install, that shouldn't change much on the work so far, you would just need to recreat the images [14:48] carlisle: oh, you've got libgcjplugin, correct? [14:48] real as in, partition [14:48] not sure [14:48] mgolisch oh i see, the path should be "C:\windows\DIIUnin.exe" hmm, maybe i can change this in winecfg? [14:48] It says [14:48] jagggy, lspci |grep audio [14:48] carlisle: no pasting! [14:48] if so then that would be great, I will read up on their site for more info [14:49] glitsj16: I found other solution: run $ soffice and select Calc = it works [14:49] whats the best place to "whine" about outdated libraries? [14:49] carlisle: use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste the page contents [14:49] HOW I INSTALl java in ff3? [14:49] GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using Iced Tea) 1.0 and then a whole list of MIME types in a table. About 30 [14:49] how do I tell what kind of video card I have? [14:49] carlisle: okay [14:49] Crashinit6, and friendly warning, if you are new to script and plan to roll-ou 400 Ubuntu systems, you will really need to improve your scripting skills you will get a painfull time ;) [14:49] void_ open a terminal windows up and type in LSPCI [14:49] Tophat: thx [14:49] carlisle: in a terminal, run 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' and tell me which one is configured (marked with a *) [14:50] one sec [14:50] why is the latest mozilla-firefox download from the SPM Cprght 1998-2007? [14:50] I really want to get linux on the machines - I work for a school and i want to get rid of all the windows clients [14:50] Tophat: It say "bash: LSPCI: command not found" [14:50] void_: it's case sensitive [14:50] no worries, i will test it till i'm confident [14:51] Crashinit6, I hope you are successful :) [14:51] says /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java [14:51] ah all lowercase [14:51] and if you have any doubt, just ask :) [14:51] hey all .. they say that the latest ATI Catalyst Linux driver is now on par with the NVIDIA driver .. is this true ?? [14:51] carlisle: change it so the icedtea jre is active [14:51] void_, lspci |grep VGA [14:51] thanx, I hope so too. Thank you for the friendly advice. [14:52] there is only 6 options now, nothing with icedtea in it, should I choose the gcj one? [14:52] So I don't have a "screens and graphics" option under system > administration Where do I enable dual monitor stuff so my screens aren't just clones of the same thing? [14:52] Hey [14:52] One is called cacao LOL [14:52] maek I hope it is.. I still see too many people having ati problems to see much difference yet [14:52] Is there a program which I can make very simple video edits, like on Windows there is Windows Movie Maker?

[15:16] Drk_Guy If it is possible.. it would be somewhere in gconf editor [15:16] Drk_Guy: was that an answer? :-) [15:16] ryeseronie| i suggest u should use the x86 version [15:16] kbrooks, because I dont think I ever seen you ask a question, I only seen you answer questions :P [15:16] Jack_Sparrow, Ok jack, ill browse it [15:16] Thanks Jack_Sparrow [15:16] Drk_Guy If it is possible.. it would be somewhere in gconf-editor [15:16] RyeSeronie: you can get the 64bit if you want, though 32bit will also work.

[17:35] hittingpilot you should be able to use system->admin->hardware drivers, select nvidia and reboot. You should see compiz in action as soon as you log in.

[17:36] hittingpilot extremely [17:37] ok, updated my system this morning, and firefox 3 was installed (icon at top said it was,and i needed to restart firefox.) so i restart.,...but still its running firefox 2.0.0.14 what am i doing wrong? [17:37] i just installed my graphics drivers but i keep loading into low graphics mode, and the xorg.0.log says "(II) LoadModule: "vesa"" and it should be the nvidia module right, can i just change it in the log file or i figure its a log file, so the changes must be made elsewhere. [17:37] hey does firefox3 use your .grkrc-2.0 ? As in, can I bind ctrl+q to NOT exit so that I don't keep accidentally hitting ctrl+q instead of ctrl+w to close a tab ? [17:37] Thats the one bug in FF3 I wish they didn't fix =) [17:37] i think everything you can do with beryl, you can do with compiz as well [17:37] blade_: go into your apps, you have both versions installed [17:38] hittingpot: no, there is only one version of firefox there...and it is still 2.0.0.14 [17:38] no matter how i choose to start the browser it is always the old version...

[19:06] obviously this place will be a bit biased, but what do you guys think about opensuse 11 getting released? think its good? think it can knock ubuntu off its spot as the top distro?

[20:22] Az: usr/bin/gnome-terminal --command=/home/user/a.sh [20:22] yep [20:23] i am using the mysql from the distro [20:23] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/21472/ [20:23] with ports forwarded [20:23] m_newton: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/21472/ [20:23] and ports open [20:23] Does anybody know if the Intrepid Ibex alpha has been released yet? [20:23] unavailable, report it to the forum, let them know. [20:23] Az, kewl, but I wanted to download music [20:23] I have a question.. Why cant i ever play sound? It always says Invalid argument Unable to connect to stream? Whenever its in my computer? or even on my MP3 player.. Im on Ubuntu Hardy Heron [20:23] ghindo, #ubuntu+1 [20:23] enaner: how do you not have sudo installed ? [20:23] Az: correction /usr/bin/gnome-terminal --command=/home/user/a.sh [20:23] Nissan_35OZ did you try the hardware testing? [20:23] Pici are you there [20:23] how to increase bash buffer? (so that i could see all output of dmesg, it cuts out the beginning) [20:23] enaner, suo [20:24] enaner, do you mean sudo [20:24] ah wait, you typed it in wrong [20:24] hi, I have a problem. I installed Xubuntu just now and tried to play an online game from mozilla. in top it asked for the pluggin so I installed whatever stuff which was available there. And now the thing is that the stuff which I install isn't working. A big round "play" button appears on screen and keeps on rolling. [20:24] Andyca1: try dmesg |less [20:24] m_newton: i dun get it ... what do you mean [20:24] Bllz: I know it plays sounds and everything.. but when i want to play my music thats on my computer.. It gives me that message. [20:24] shadowimmage you'd have to format the first partition, move the data there, then delete the second and extend the first. You can't move the front of an ext3 partition (at least,you couldn't last time I checked) [20:24] HardDisk: Thanks! [20:24] daddycool you restart firefox? [20:24] enaner, try this command again 'sudo ./configure; sudo make; sudo make install' [20:24] pici how i make the grub to start xp when timeout hits 0 [20:24] Andyca1: or dmesg > dmesg.txt to get a file :) [20:24] mms, strange getting the same message "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal"... maybe its my script :s [20:24] Nissan_35OZ did you download the appropriate codecs?

[20:54] enaner, are you still there [20:54] Hiya - could someone tell me if it would be dangerous to install Ubuntu on an existing NTFS partition and resizing that partition with the setup partitioner if the disk has not been defragged in Windows? What are the chances of losing Windows data (apart from the standard chances you have of losing it just because it's Windows :P)\ [20:54] <_Net> Does 7.10 come with Gparted?

[20:57] [Q] When i mount a samba share with places->network where does it mount to, so I can reach it in command line. [20:57] enaner, ok you have the hardy repos. Not the gutsy repos. There is no news in the hardy repos. All ther is is cinellera [20:57] is the ATI vs. compiz bug (lanchpad #206845) also present in other distributions? [20:57] i wan to to ask how to limit the background processes peer acceount [20:57] !patience [20:57] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [20:57] i want to to ask how to limit the background processes peer acceount [20:57] jawbrey - but did you resize an existing partition during setup or did you create separate partitions before? [20:58] CUPS Server error - There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'. What does this mean? [20:58] Okay I get sound with ioquake3, can I use ioquake3 with combat elite mod? [20:58] My issue is not with dual booting - I've been running a dual boot system for a year now - my issue is with resizing existing NTFS partitions [20:58] Draggin I installed it on a 200g with windows, but I used Partition Magic to resize the partition first to get the free space [20:58] I'm getting random kernel panic on ubuntu hardy x64 [20:59] CoronaBW - did you do a defrag at all before splitting partitions? [20:59] Draggin - I resized the parition during setup, I had a lot of help with it though so I don't know if I can fully answer your question. I remember resizing the the existing NTFS partition [20:59] itll do it for u [20:59] I just used the partitioning software, it took care of the moving of the data [20:59] i promise [20:59] Sorry, true combat mod* [20:59] just use gparted on the live cd [20:59] jawbrey - can you remember if you defragged the NTFS partition before resizing the partitions? [20:59] Gin: Sounds like a random software or hardware error. Do you have more information? [21:00] Draggin - no I didn't defrag before resizing the partitions. [21:00] I have used the live CD before as well with good results for resizing as well. [21:00] m_newton - and what about the partitioning tool on the alternate install? I'm actually going to install Studio, so there is no live CD [21:00] jawbrey - thanks a lot :) [21:00] Draggin - you're welcome ;) [21:00] Lynet, nope, when it froze, I cna't do anything, the caps lock and scrol lock keep flashing [21:00] how do i find the gpg key of an ubuntu mirror?

[21:01] Draggin, no ned to install studio, just get ubuntu live cd, the later you can sudo apt-get install ubnutustudio-desktop [21:01] trying to print test page status is stopped. ? [21:01] How do you check what version of a package you have installed? [21:01] i find my cpu working overtime alot in ubuntu and i took the splash off when booting up so i can see whats its loading and it said my cpu wasnt support [21:01] If I do: aoss quake3, it has sound but its not very good at all...

But it might help us figure out why you are having this problem. A non-reported bug is a bug that won't get fixed. [21:09] Mo0oSaH: how do I do that? [21:09] coolasJon: what program.. you should check it's not in a repo first.. installing your own software out of repos is not a good idea since it's likely to break if something else needs that program, the repo system won't know you installed it and will try to install the official package of it, likely breaking your version and making a huge mess of things [21:09] or perhaps is there a way to install the GUI to the server?

I was able to boot off of the live cd and install ubuntu because the kernel discovered the drives when the installer loaded. Are there any boot disks that use a linux kernel to boot OS's so that it will discover the harddrive [21:15] Mo0oSaH: I actiually don't know what to do here... I'm running on a liveCD, and nothing in fstab makes sense [21:15] jawbrey: yes, that would be dhcp..

The only real diffrence is that you don't get a GUI with server edition.

[22:04] * m_newton i can see how my words may offend if read wrong [22:04] <__ryan__> ah i have the same card Nostahl [22:05] is it possible to install flash in firefox 3 yet? [22:05] <__ryan__> i have had flash in firefox 3 the whole time? [22:05] __ryan__: did you install flash *after* the upgrade to ff3 ? [22:05] <__ryan__> indeed, used the manual installer actually [22:05] what [22:05] eric_: yes, it is. [22:05] i've had ff3 working with flash even when it was beta [22:05] _ryan_ how do you like it [22:05] anyone here uses gre to create a tunnel? i could never get it to work, do you have a config i can possibly copy? [22:06] i tried several tutorial and still same results [22:06] eric_ while I dont know the answer. YOu need to tell people how you installed FF3 from our repos or did you download it yourself [22:06] where is the flash plugin installed? [22:06] After a kernel upgrade (today updates) and a reboot, i'm unable to find my nvidia (neither in Driver Hardware menu')now i have to use 800x600 only :| anyone got this problem too? [22:06] __ryan__: ah.. then I guess it works.. I just upgraded an existing install of ff [22:06] <__ryan__> ah [22:06] Jack_Sparrow: bro, any idea how to fix my problem? [22:06] Bizzeh: try here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [22:06] <__ryan__> Nostahl, you can run Compiz with it :D [22:06] _ryan_ how do i make sure its updated? [22:06] aye [22:07] nixbox, leachim6 (my user) , audio , and disk [22:07] Jack_Sparrow, Whos looking? I just installed the firefox-3.0 package in synaptic.. [22:07] hmn, why does help.ubuntu.com force you to use https? [22:07] <__ryan__> Nostahl, ubuntu autop detects the intel and gives you a specific xorg version for it [22:07] leachim6: thanks! :) would you know how to read temperatures in conky? [22:07] leachim6: Yeah, you set yourself as an unpriv user [22:07] daddycool, re-ask your question, but please do not expect him to reply. Ask the channel, and have patiance. [22:07] apt://firefox-3.0 [22:07] leachim6: system -> administration -> users [22:07] <__ryan__> Nostahl, so it will be updated via update-manager [22:07] daddycool no.. but form the best question you can.. which version of ff, how you installed it.. and if you installed flash after you installed the new ff [22:07] I tried to make the apturl /fail. [22:07] _ryan_ ah im asking cause i was tryin to do a 14 day trial of eve online and alot of textures just show up as white [22:07] leachim6, ok, you need to add yourself to the wheel group, or whatever group ubuntu uses for that [22:07] why is ld-linux.so.2 using 50% CPU and 55% memory [22:07] this is insane [22:08] Hi, I want to forward my Ubuntu X11 over ssh. I see that /etc/sshd/sshd_config have XPortFOrwarding = Yes but I am not sure of what more to do. I have tried sshing into the ubuntu box as a "user" on the ubuntu box (works) but cannot progress from there. [22:08] nixeagle, I can use sudo .. I added myself in /etc/sudoers [22:08] mindframe-: it doesn't settle down after a while? [22:08] leachim6: click unlock, type in your passwd, select your user, hit properties, go to the user privileges tab, and make sure everything is checked [22:08] %admin is just the default group [22:08] leachim6, right, add yourself to the user admin group [22:08] I could make foobar the admin group [22:08] how can i set an account to require no password [22:08] bobstro heres what i did...: i installed ubuntu on my comp, making sure to click "advanced" at the final step and install grub to my ubuntu drive.. then when that was done, went into windows, used bootpart to get the mbr from the ubuntu part, saved it to c:\bootpart.lnx [22:08] EvilDennisR, In the user privileges tab ... everything is grayed out [22:08] Slart, no this has been going on for 10 minutes now [22:08] allow me to reiterate NO MATTER WHAT I DO [22:08] leachim6: did you click unlock ? [22:08] owner not advised [22:08] <__ryan__> Nostahl, i'm not familiar with that [22:08] unlock is grayed [22:08] bobstro then i added the entry to boot.ini in windows [22:09] smacnay: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto#head-d614a551c7e458273e83ca0daa654c2ec5adf722 [22:09] even as root [22:09] this is a bug [22:09] it's on launchpad [22:09] jack, ok what about lowering the min characters [22:09] should checkinstall work for the flash tar.gz file from the adobe website or is it more complicated (im on the x86 architecture) [22:09] and it's yet to be fixed [22:09] leachim6: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:09] owner you can have it log in automatically, but for root you will still need password [22:09] bobstro result? ntldr is my boot loader [22:09] unavailable: ah, Bizzeh is having the problem. so you're putting grub under the windows boot loader then? [22:09] is there a workaround that anyone know's about [22:09] yes, root will stay with password [22:09] _ryan_ the other interesting thing i've noticed is like if you go to www.nbc.com and you try to use the popup tabs they go behind the flash video's so you cant see them? in any browsers i've tryed do you get that problem too? [22:09] just for a certain desktop user [22:09] bobstro uep [22:09] nixbox, any solutions ? [22:09] leachim6 please use enter after complete sentences.. [22:09] unavailable: i'm letting grub run the show, but i've read of folks doing it the windows loader way. [22:09] Ashex: could depend on your setup, if you add plugin.expose_full_path to about config in firefox and go to about plugins it will show (mine is at /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so) [22:10] leachim6: bootup in recovery mode [22:10] !aptfix [22:10] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [22:10] leachim6: select root prompt [22:10] I could try using alien on the rpm but if i could compile the deb from the tar.gz file i think it would be better. [22:10] so how can i set it to log in automatically? [22:10] leachim6: addgroup leachim6 admin [22:10] even when I login as root I still can't do it [22:10] leachim6: exit [22:10] leachim6: select normal bootup at the menu [22:10] <_Net> sudo apt-get laid [22:10] EvilDennisR, why can I just do that with sudo ... why do I need recovery mode ? [22:10] leachim6: then do the steps with user/prefs I already told you [22:10] _Net: apt-get lost [22:10] leachim6: You removed yourself from the admin group [22:11] why can I just do sudo addgroup leachim6 admin [22:11] leachim6: type sudo -s [22:11] bobstro its kinda funny though i can select winxp at both loaders [22:11] leachim6: does it allow you to have a root shell ? [22:11] <_Net> :) [22:11] _Net bobstro Please dont [22:11] Jack_Sparrow: which? [22:11] leachim6: or does it tell you you're not allowed [22:11] jack, so how do i get it to log in automatically? [22:11] you [22:11] nope [22:11] I just did it . [22:11] Jack_Sparrow: mean option. never mind. :) [22:11] leachim6: nope what? Nope it didn't work? [22:11] owner system..admin..login window..security [22:12] Jack_Sparrow so what does sudo apt-get install lost do? [22:12] unavailable They are just spamming [22:12] jack, thanks man i appreciate it [22:12] Jack_Sparrow: I had firefox 3 installed. and I installed restricted from synaptic. [22:12] when I run users admin I get => "** (users-admin:20412): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '20412' [22:12] " [22:12] this is a bug with no fix and no workaround .... [22:12] leachim6: can you please follow my instructions [22:12] daddycool did you also install flash-nonfree after that [22:12] leachim6: sudo -s [22:12] leachim6: do you get a root prompt, yes or no [22:12] <_Net> leachim6: What are you working on again [22:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653921 [22:13] EvilDennisR, yeah I can get a root prompt [22:13] hello guys [22:13] Ok wow flash install was soo damn easy from .tar.gz my bad i didnt mean to uselessly spam the channel [22:13] !language eric_ [22:13] Factoid language eric_ not found [22:13] !language > eric_ [22:13] leachim6: addgroup leachim6 adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin sambashare [22:13] <_Net> Eric_ No problem. Did you get yuour .tar.gz file from firefox website or other sources? [22:13] its not pulling up, the login window is disappearing [22:13] leachim6: obviously change leachim6 to your username [22:14] _Net, the adobe site [22:14] leachim6 I have asked you to stop hitting enter like that... it spams the channel and makes it hard to understand you. [22:14] <_Net> eric__: Ah Ok, because Im soon going to need to update the flash players so better be prepared :) [22:15] I dont remember the last time someone told me to watch my language over dam :P [22:15] i have removed a thirld parties repository and i want to remove all softwares installed from it how ? [22:15] I am running an XP virtual machine in VMware Workstation, the VM doesnt recognize the chipset/VGA/SCSI [22:15] What can I Do? [22:15] rofl [22:15] I know i should shoosh i was just sayin lol [22:16] Jack_Sparrow, I'm sorry about the enter thing it's a bad habit [22:16] I must have been in early gradeschool :P [22:16] Storrgie: does the VM run in low-res mode? [22:16] leachim6: did you add yourself to all of those groups like I said ? [22:16] djouallah if the stuff was only available from that one repo (didn't replace the ubuntu stuff) you'll find the packages listed in obsolete in synaptic [22:16] EvilDennisR, yeah [22:16] leachim6: logout and log back in, you should have access to all that stuff now [22:16] I hope so [22:16] I'll try [22:16] hey al [22:16] bobstro: nope, i can run it in anything [22:17] I really dont understand why flash support is allways so crummy. [22:17] Storrgie: can or can't? if it runs but looks lousy, did you install the tools? [22:17] bobstro: nope, didnt install tools [22:17] hello, my desktop bar (the orange thingy) isnt loading anymore, any tip on how to get it back? thanks. [22:17] eric_: because flash is the bane of the internet and should be destroyed [22:17] bizzeh i agree [22:17] Bizzeh, Hear hear!! [22:17] Storrgie: without the tools installed, resolution will be poor and performance will be awful. [22:18] <_Net> eric_: What I never understood was why eventhough firefox supports the install of flash automatically, yet has never worked. I've always had to do it manually. [22:18] Bizzeh: Well, we have Silverlight to look forward to as its replacement [22:18] eric_ I just found out that installing libflashsupport is magic when it comes to flash issues ( usual Works for Me™ caveat) [22:18] Storrgie: so XP comes up in the vm, but display is poor, right? [22:18] _Net: me too [22:18] asulutzy even in firefox? [22:18] bobstro: nope display is nice, everything is pretty sweet except that the mouse is jittery [22:18] ASULutzy: i have used silverlight, it solves alot of the problems i have with flash actually [22:18] <_Net> teq: Can you boot into ubuntu? [22:18] Storrgie: yep, that's sign #1 you need the tools! [22:18] _Net: yes [22:18] nickrud, i find the repos were totally broke for the beta firefox3 that shipped with hardy [22:18] bobstro: lemme install tools [22:18] its gui is xml based, so all the text is still text within the page... so still accessibility friendly [22:19] nothing made me more angry than having broken flash so i had to go download the flock browser :S [22:19] go figure microsoft to come out with even more software to try to dominate the market... [22:19] Storrgie: you should see marked improvement once installed. also, will you be installing Win2K3 Server? [22:19] bobstro: right after i install SP3 [22:19] eric_ heh. I waited for the release, just stuck with 2 until yesterday [22:19] eric_ Please move discussions and opinions to offtopic.. [22:19] unavailable: Silverlight runs in Firefox and in IE... Last time I checked moonlight ran ok in linux, but obviously if silverlight is still beta, you can't expect too much from moonlight yet [22:19] and that was aweful till i could figure out how to get my overloard google back as my keyword search. [22:19] _Net: whats not loading is the desktop bar, the orange thing that u use to look for things [22:19] bobstro: nope, I just need an XP VM to run Adobe CS3 in [22:19] bobstro: because i guess CS3 is a no go in ubuntu [22:19] * unavailable will never trust anything from microsoft again [22:19] does anyone else have problems with Firefox 3 displaying fonts on websites ridiculously small? [22:19] !appdb [22:19] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [22:19] Storrgie: BE SURE to turn on graphics acceleration in Win2K3 Server. it's off by default (unlike XP) and it will be LOUSY to use until you do tools and enable it. [22:19] Im pretty much done my rant. [22:19] mayhemirc.zapto.org port 7000 [22:20] Storrgie: oh then never mind. XP just needs the tools. [22:20] unavailable: Eh, silverlight really isn't that bad. I'm doing some brief development with it. You can create some pretty neat rich client applications available online through a webpage with it [22:20] oops wrong room [22:20] unr3a1 some, until I installed the nosquint extension [22:20] also, silverlight is what ms originaly called "sparkle" back in the days of flash 6, but its taken this long for them to put a real dev team into it [22:20] bobstro: would you please come into #Digital-it [22:20] Quick question, will flash cs3 work in wine [22:20] hello, my desktop bar (the orange thingy) isnt loading anymore, any tip on how to get it back? thanks. [22:20] m_newton look at the appdb [22:21] also, silverlight is drawn via the gfx card (ogl/dx, depending on impelementation), so it can technicaly do alot more than flash... as flash is still ran via the cpu in all implementations [22:21] it wouldn't be an issue, if ctrl + wouldn't increase the sizes of images causing them to pixelate [22:21] mjoin #Digital-it [22:21] heh [22:21] how do i get kanjipad to work? [22:21] Bizzeh: Yea, objectively silverlight is more powerful than flash is [22:21] unr3a1 that's an option in firefox, I think you can change that to text only resize [22:21] Bizzeh: flash doesn't have hardware acceleration?... must have imagined things.. [22:22] ok fellas and ladies [22:23] hello, my desktop bar (the orange thingy) isnt loading anymore, any tip on how to get it back? thanks. [22:23] also, the current x360 dash is writen with a subset of silverlight [22:23] #ubuntu-tr [22:23] thanks again #ubuntu! [22:23] nickrud: where? [22:23] is there such a think under ubuntu as "auto-login" [22:23] Shaba1: check the .. administration, login window [22:23] Shaba1 Yes. [22:23] So I do not have to enter my username and pass every time I turn on my laptop [22:23] how do i get kanjipad to work? [22:23] no on uses it except me [22:23] unr3a1 could be I have that option added as part of nosquint , I installed it before I did much of anything with ff3 [22:24] !info kanjipad [22:24] kanjipad (source: kanjipad): handwriting recognition tool for Kanji. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.0.0-6 (hardy), package size 34 kB, installed size 128 kB [22:24] Shaba1 You were given the answer [22:24] This is getting a bit offtopic, so last little bit of info about Silverlight vs Flash, there's a decent article explaining why Silverlight is more powerful than Flash that can be found at http://weblogs.asp.net/jezell/archive/2007/05/03/silverlight-vs-flash-the-developer-story.aspx [22:25] ASULutzy, oh yey silverlight spam :P [22:25] nixeagle: I preferenced it with a disclaimer :-/ [22:25] ASULutzy, Still spam either way :) [22:25] lol [22:25] both are proprietary pieces of crap IMHO :P [22:26] nixeagle: lol, well, we were discussing it briefly and someone said something about well isn't silverlight just crappy MS Flash, and yea... nixeagle, what about moonlight? That might hold some promise in the realm of open sourcery ;) [22:26] ASULutzy, perhaps, but its not a webstandard. [22:27] nickrud, I wonder why they did that with the fonts? [22:27] ASULutzy, nixternal: can you take this elsewhere please [22:27] i was just wondering [22:27] hi [22:27] ie, both have companies controling them, if you wish to continue debating this, pm me. This is offtopic here. [22:27] i switched from an athlon processor to a celeron [22:27] hi, can someone please tell me how to generally (so I know it for later if I get new kernel) make Windows as default OS at starting (in grub loader)?

[22:38] enaner, not really [22:38] nickrud, greetings [22:38] xTheGoat121x howdy back [22:38] Hey Seveas Nice to see ya.. [22:38] in synaptic... whats the difference between removal and complete removal? [22:39] enaner: For the most part I wouldn't worry about it. It gives up your mac address and your ip, but it's not the end of the world [22:39] Felonious, 'removal' will leave configuration files in place [22:39] Hi. Anyone use Ceemedia? When I try to use the search function, I get an error about a plugin not being correct (psyco) - anyone else have this problem? [22:39] Has anyone gotten Hibernate/Sleep to work properly with any of the dell precision laptops? [22:39] Felonious complete removes the configs in /etc , removal leaves them [22:39] Felonious: complete removal essentially does apt-get purge instead of just apt-get remove, it deletes the config files as well [22:39] oh, i thought maybe it would remove and dependent binaries it installed too [22:39] thanks again [22:39] Storrgie: why don't you say what's improper about the way it works on yours? [22:40] Felonious: If you have dependencies that aren't needed anymore you can use sudo apt-get autoremove I believe [22:40] soundray: when I sleep/hibernate it goes down, then when coming back on I just see a blinking cursor in the top left of the screen.... sometimes I See an arrow in the center of the screen [22:40] nah i actually wanted to keep them, thats why I asked [22:41] Storrgie: what do you do when this happens? [22:41] soundray: I cry. [22:41] lol [22:41] soundray: I give it about 3 minutes then hard power down [22:41] * soundray pats Storrgie on the back. There there [22:41] Storrgie: my first suggestion is for protecting your filesystems when this happens. [22:42] does ubuntu server contain all the same wifi drivers as the desktop edition? [22:42] Hi. Anyone use Ceemedia? When I try to use the search function, I get an error about a plugin not being correct (psyco) - anyone else have this problem? [22:42] Storrgie: you should try to reboot with this key combination: Hold down Alt and PrintScreen, then type R E I S U and B in succession. [22:42] pinkster, yes [22:42] seveas, thanks... cool [22:43] soundray: mind joining #Digital-it thats where I am with a couple of others discussing this [22:43] Storrgie: if the kernel responds to that, it will effect a clean unmount and shutdown. [22:43] soundray: What's the mnemonic to remember the REISUB thing? [22:43] ASULutzy: I remembered the sequence and forgot the mnemonic. Something with elephants [22:44] Storrgie That is an ati video card right [22:44] any ideas how i can get the gdm background to show on all displays? [22:44] hi, how do i open a .conf file in terminal? [22:44] koen_: for editing? [22:44] koen_: nano file.conf [22:44] Storrgie The Suspend/Hibernate function stopped working. The problem was due to the new SLUB allocator incorporated in 2.6.22 / 2.6.23 Kernel. The problem has been solved in the AMD Catalyst 7.12 driver release. Suspend/hibernate is not working for FireGL 5250. [22:44] soundray: lol, found it REISUB = "Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring" [22:44] does ubuntu 8.04 have a .deb for some sort of task/tool bar that closely emulated the OSX one? [22:44] koen_: use nano before the filename [22:44] koen_ gksudo gedit path/file [22:44] koen_: sudo nano filename [22:44] hi, I found a minor bug for video driver(nvidia proprietary), where I have to signal it? [22:44] SiegeX: yes awn [22:45] FAJALOU: thanks [22:45] Jack_Sparrow: I have a nvidia Quadro 360M [22:45] SiegeX: it's called avant-window-navigator. it is the closest one to the mac one you will find [22:45] Does awn need compiz ? [22:45] but, as far as i know, it doesn't allow you to add programs to it [22:45] xenomorph99: i don't believe so... [22:45] i think it is an app all by itself [22:45] Storrgie Almost all of the issues with suspend.hibernate end up with video drivers [22:45] xenomorph99: Yes, to run properly [22:46] o, my bad [22:46] Anyone have issues usinga USB keyboard with Grub? It won't let me choose between OS options. Keyboard works fine after machine is booted. [22:46] ta [22:46] Jack_Sparrow: would you recommend to upgrade the driver somehow, then? ( Storrgie) [22:46] SiegeX look up cairo-dock [22:46] Hi. Anyone use Ceemedia? When I try to use the search function, I get an error about a plugin not being correct (psyco) - anyone else have this problem? [22:46] Jack_Sparrow: any suggestions for my setup then? [22:46] i have no troubles pgreptom [22:46] pgreptom: what kind of keyboard is it? [22:46] Felonious, Strange. Legacy is enabled. [22:46] FAJALOU, It's a Logitech. [22:46] can some one tell me tthe steps i need to take or link me to a guide that tells me how get windows xp to detect the harddrive that ubuntu used i don't know how to reformat the hardrive without reinstalling ubuntu to another drive and reformating the origanal drive, but i can't do that as i don't have another drive to use... any help would be great? [22:46] It's *really* annoying. I LOVE the keyboard.. but this isn't cutting it. [22:46] Storrgie Do you have the issue if you set video to vesa mode? [22:47] Jack_Sparrow: dont know how to do that sir. [22:47] xenomorph99: You at least need some sort of compositing manager [22:47] im already running compiz so thats no biggie. but i cant add my own shortcut icons to AWN? [22:47] its pre-populated or something? [22:47] Storrgie not saying that is a soultion, just an effort to define the problem [22:47] xenomorph99: http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation#Prerequisites [22:47] hmmm, pgreptom i am on a microsoft ergonomic keyboard, and it works fine, but it is ps2 [22:47] jayt: you'd be easier to read if you used some punctuation [22:47] thx boys [22:47] i need help installing counter strike!! [22:47] soundray sorry [22:47] pgreptom: can you shoose your bios settings etc can you get into those? [22:47] now i enjoy root acces =)) [22:47] FAJALOU, Yes, I can get into BIOS fine. It's pretty odd. I don't think it worked with Vista's boot loader, either. [22:47] hey i switched from gnome to kde for the x, but the default programs that are used to open a few specific files have been changed. how can i set with which program each file gets launched? >> [22:47] scifiguy951: Counterstrike Source? === eddyMul is now known as LuminE_ [22:47] soundray: you want me to restat the question bettter i will? [22:47] jayt: anyway, I'd suggest you use a live CD and delete unneeded partitions with gparted [22:47] yes === LuminE_ is now known as eddyMul [22:48] koen_ USe carefully [22:48] I can't use it then. I find a lot of 3D apps don't work with Compiz [22:48] just for sharing :) [22:48] db92: switch back to gnome ;) [22:48] Jack_Sparrow: I dunno if I should install drivers right from nvidia... or use the nvidia restricted drivers.... [22:48] FAJALOU: do you mean that AWN is just a taskbar, not a launcher? [22:48] ok cool soundray gparted is alredy installed with the ubuntu live cd? [22:48] SiegeX: yes [22:48] FAJALOU, sounds like a plan === eddyMul is now known as eddyMul_ [22:48] Is there a better way for me to mirror a website? im using wget -m now but it's not perfect === eddyMul_ is now known as eddyMul [22:48] FAJALOU: ahh, well thats not too bad.

[22:48] Storrgie I would do alot more reading.. before changing anything [22:49] db92: but how did you install kde? [22:49] hm i have another question, i just shared a map via linux. samba style :p but when i want to approach it via my windows computer it ask for a username and password, but even if i fill it in it comes back up [22:49] is rsync a commandline tool?

[22:49] ahh well ill try that soundray thanks alot for you help [22:49] soundray: and brandon|work thanx [22:49] Is it possible for me to use my soundcards own sound drivers with Ubuntu? [22:49] Instead of ASLA [22:49] ? [22:49] ALSA* [22:49] hey, how to delete an known host from .ssh/known_hosts without deleting the whole file? [22:49] db92: ok b/c i installed it and then uninstalled it with a different tutorial and it screwed me over, i had to reinstall ubuntu b/c of dependencies etc :/ [22:50] ?? [22:50] sint, sed -e /hostname.here/d -i ~/.ssh/known_hosts [22:50] sint, if you didn't disable known hosts hashing, you might nieed to find the hashed value first :) [22:50] whats /d? cause its just an ip [22:50] /d means delete matching lines [22:51] more of a Python question: in unittest, how do I feed a Model's __init__ to assertRaises ? [22:51] mortis: the soundcards own drivers? what kind of soundcard are we talking about? [22:51] sed -e /ip.address/d -i ~/.ssh/known_hosts [22:51] will work :) [22:51] Creative Sound Blaster Live [22:51] ok, i have this hashstuff on, this is why i am asking [22:51] mortis: it has linux drivers of it's own? [22:51] I don't know [22:51] Seveas: usually i was used to see the plain ip [22:51] sint: when ssh complains to me I do vi ~/.ssh/known_hosts then :8 <-- it says what line, then dd then :wq [22:51] That's what I was asking, if I'd be able to use its drivers [22:51] sint, then find out how it hashes [22:51] soundray: is gparted a live CD by itself, or can i run it with the ubuntu live CD? [22:52] How do I check my PC specs from terminal? [22:52] (put this in ~/.ssh/config to disable the hashing: HashKnownHosts no) [22:52] it's on the ubuntu live cd [22:52] creative and linux is a no-no [22:52] mortis: you would have to read the instructions of these imaginary drivers to know that.. [22:52] Is there an application under Ubuntu that can adminster an ipod without having to use itunes ? [22:52] i tried it with my creative card [22:52] it wont work [22:52] mortis: but usually you don't install drivers for soundcards.. [22:52] xenomorph99: yes i use amarok and that works fine for picking it up [22:52] its possible to make it work via OSS but you wont have full functionality [22:52] !ipod | xenomorph99 [22:52] xenomorph99: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [22:52] cheers [22:52] KyleK; .... .ssh/known_hosts:1 < does this mean line 1 ? [22:52] rockbox is nice for ipod [22:52] jayt: both -- you have a choice. If you don't have a live CD at the moment, the gparted live CD is a smaller download than the Ubuntu one. [22:53] 1yea [22:53] doubled: creative and linux works just fine.. it's just the latest x-fi cards that isn't supported [22:53] sint: yea line 1 [22:53] KyleK: k thanks :) [22:53] ah, i take back my words then (partially) [22:53] but its creative's fault [22:53] Hi people. I was wondering if anyone here is from Canonical, to speak about the LTS desktop [22:53] doubled: indeed... I agree with that.. [22:53] KyleK: works nice thanks alot [22:53] the linux drivers they brought out for the x-fi series isnt working either [22:53] doubled, havign trouble with x-fi? >> [22:53] You have to replace the firmware in the iPod? [22:54] soundray: ahh i see well have the ubuntu CD on hand so ill go use that, ware would i be able to find it its a gutsy disk btw? [22:54] hehe yeah [22:54] doubled, whats not working for ye? [22:54] so im using my onboard one now [22:54] well its not getting detected by alsa [22:54] or by linux itself, dunno how to explain it [22:54] keke, its obvious, even on the alsa site it says that its not compatible === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [22:54] <|Juan|> i need help, a second session keeps crashing the first one i opened [22:54] you just need to install oss [22:54] OSS sees it though [22:55] but cant use it still [22:55] soundray: i mean ware would i be able to launch gparted using the ubuntu live CD? [22:55] jayt: open a terminal and run 'gksudo gparted' [22:55] jayt: it is under system>administration>partition editor in the live cd i believe [22:55] back to my other question :p i just shared a map via linux. samba style :p but when i want to approach it via my windows computer it ask for a username and password, but even if i fill it in it comes back up [22:55] jayt: it's also somewhere in the menus -- System-Administraiton-....something [22:56] I'm asking because ALSA is really not satisfying my needs... [22:56] FAJALOU: and soundray thanks for the info ill do that [22:56] np [22:56] Do you have to replace the firmware in an ipod to use it under Linux or is it ok just with amarok? [22:56] xenomorph99: i use an mp3 player with amarok [22:56] xenomorph99, the latter [22:56] and it works fine [22:56] How do I see all the groups on my system? (no the command groups because it does not show all groups) [22:56] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a second user for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that second user is taken to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. [22:56] hey guys, how would I go about creating an "open with" command that will move the file to a certain directory? Ive tried $ mv %u ~/down ... how do I make this work? [22:56] ok, cheers [22:57] ipods work fine with amarok [22:57] Ballena, system -> admin -> users and groups [22:57] Ballena, or read the /etc/group file [22:57] Seveas: ok thanks' [22:57] hetz: in this channel, you can have free help from volunteers.

[23:01] db92: like FAJALOU states, shell script is the way, kust make sure that the applications are done before re-enabling compiz if they conflict with that [23:01] mark_, the idea of some suggesting an online backup here is bad - that is a commercial proposition please go and evaluate your options [23:02] back to my other question :p i just shared a map via linux. samba style :p but when i want to approach it via my windows computer it ask for a username and password, but even if i fill it in the box comes back up. i cant access the shared folder [23:02] hello [23:02] db92: you need to start it with #!bin/bash [23:02] yea dont want this place turning into omg omgomg use my service flood flood flood [23:02] ompaul: is it?

[23:05] any hard core qemu or kvm users around? i'd like to ask how to enable audio emulation for my virtual machines via virt-manager/libvirtd. [23:05] mark_: it basically uses hardlinks for the files that dont change from snapshot to snapshot [23:05] Ballena that should work [23:06] rawb whichever suits the way you work, they all do the same thing in the backend [23:06] rawb: it's the same thing, the GUI works with the exact same commands behind the scenes [23:06] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open.

[23:13] slayton: well actually, I am trying to understand why a PATA ultra-100 has transfer speeds of 10MB/s over LAN (no wi-fi) [23:13] scifiguy951: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:13] apophis_ch it is sais cannot find amule [23:13] Prose: Yes it does, just get a big file, try scp -r and it should pop up a transfer gauge with the speed [23:13] ?? [23:13] SiegeX: have you ever tried a restore? [23:13] mark_: I don't have 6months worth of daily snapshots though [23:13] scifiguy951: ask in #winehq instead [23:14] Prose: that yes it does was in reference to my earlier post not yours... sorry [23:14] ok [23:14] slayton: I would like to access a PC(ubuntu-server) that is connected to the same router as the one I am currently using (ubuntu hard). What should I do if I want to use the server computer headless aka from this computer through SSH. I have no idea, and I will have to do it now, as I will have to return my brothers keyboard and Monitor ASAP .. thanks in advance for your help. :) [23:14] baraka, then try first: sudo apt-get update (and then the line from above) if that doesnt help, what ubunutu do you have installed?) [23:14] How does cryptation in pidgin work? [23:14] Ideally I would like to use backup as a way of sharing my documents folder around a number of machines [23:14] lakis1982: you could try the support pages for laptops at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam .. they have specifics about each brand/model and what it supports under ubuntu .. hibernate/sleep is usualy mentioned [23:14] enaner: do you know the IP of the other machine? [23:14] soundray, but all my ubuntu is in spanish the only thing that isnt is the open office [23:14] i mean use the fact that I can sync and restore etc [23:14] xubuntu [23:14] slayton yes :) [23:14] enaner: just install openssh-server on the machine to be accessed. [23:14] i dont have lapto [23:14] enaner, can you ssh [23:15] mark_: if you just want to share a folder over the network you only need NFS or Samba if you want windows computers to see it [23:15] lakis1982: my apologies, i assumed you did [23:15] enaner: what exactly are you trying to do? [23:15] javier: I still suggest you go through System-Administration-Language Support and log out and back in. If it still doesn't work, ask again [23:15] SiegeX: nah, would like it on the phyiscal disks as I sometimes up and move about [23:15] mark_: this would be way overkill for that, this is incase you accidentally deleted something critical or you wanted to see how some file(s) have changed over the course of time etc. [23:16] SiegeX: yes, there is that benefit too [23:16] soundray, ok thanks ill try [23:16] How do I run an *.run file? When I am trying it says: bash: run: command not found [23:16] sorry apophis_ch but it sais the same [23:16] mark_: ok well just plain rsync gets the first thing you want done [23:16] slayton: hmm nothing visual indicating transfer speed over ssh :( [23:16] I have lots of critical stuff, well stuff that takes time to do so I dont want to lose it [23:16] nice one [23:16] lakis1982: did you add anything to the kernel boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst for that to work ? basically a location where the files can be written to ? [23:16] Help me! I have the Firewire PCMCIA card plugged into the laptop and the camera is plugged in and switched on. When I look at Kino Preferences under the IEEE 1394 tab, it says "The IEEE 1394 Subsystem is not responding. The raw1394 module must be loaded, and you must have read and write access to /dev/raw1394" - What do I need to do? [23:16] bvd: ./filetorun [23:16] Thank you Slart [23:16] Prose did you try the -v arg? [23:17] bvd: either chmod +x the file first, then ./some_file.run or you can do 'bash some_file.run' [23:17] I tried the -r one [23:17] enaner: on the server, 'sudo apt-get install ssh', then find out its LAN IP with ifconfig. Then you can 'ssh username@192.168.1.1' from the other machine [23:17] what is a hard link anyway [23:17] prose: you want the VERBOSE arg try -v [23:17] a filesystem link [23:17] enaner: replacing the username and IP appropriately, of course [23:17] ? [23:17] slayton: doing so [23:17] mark_: ya, its like a shortcut [23:17] Prose: -v will spit out a lot of text but in the end you will see a transfer bay [23:17] i dont think so [23:17] How do I edit mpeg video in Ubuntu? [23:18] slayton: nada when I tell it to verbose over ssh [23:18] mark_: technically its two file names pointing to the same 'inode' [23:18] i only changed one the default boot OS. the default was kubuntu , and i set the default to vista [23:18] I only get "Executing: cp bigfile" [23:18] LetsGo67: video editors are: kino, kenlive, lives, cinelerra [23:18] Which works the best for Xubuntu? [23:18] man , I really wish I'd know if slow transfer speeds between my fileserver and the rest of the world is due to HD speed, processor, samba protocol, CPU or LAN connection :( [23:19] mark_: so if file1 didnt change from the last time you took the snapshot, no reason to copy duplicate data, rather just create a hardlink with the same filename but points to the existing copy already on disk [23:19] lakis1982: i think you need to add at least something in the line of "resume=/dev/xxx" (point that to a real partition on your drive(s)) [23:19] Prose, how big is the file your transfering? [23:19] Soundray: Which works the best for Xubuntu? [23:19] Prose: each of those is testable [23:19] LetsGo67: no idea. Video editing is fairly demanding... [23:19] soundray, didnt work [23:19] where should i add this [23:19] slayton: 230MB [23:19] Prose, how big is the file your transfering? [23:19] javier: okay [23:19] ?? [23:20] hi there; is there some linux program or command that can show every process that is currently transferring data over my ethernet interface? [23:20] prose: oops, did you wait for a while... it shows up for me after I type in the password [23:20] SiegeX: oh right I see, so it makes a complete copy does it compress it too? [23:20] mark_: hardlinks cant cross partitions though, so the first thing that rsnapshot does is duplicate your existing '/' partition to some new drive and then creates hardlinks off of the data there [23:20] gkrellm is showing a lot of network traffic but i don't know where its from [23:20] KyleK: I slightly don't feel like trying different HD, CPUs and protocols one after the other [23:20] hi how can i change the default language of open office, not using language support????? [23:20] Prose: http://pastebin.com/d480bfe9a [23:20] glitsj16? [23:20] javier: have you got the package openoffice.org-l10n-es ? [23:20] slayton: it finisehd transferring and gave the prompt [23:20] javier: it's in one of the preferences tabs [23:20] Prose: look in the bottom right, transfer rates show up [23:21] SiegeX: sorry I understand what a hard link is, I couldn't see how they made use of them to reduce the amount of file copying :) [23:21] javier: if you mean document language [23:21] obviously I have never used them myself [23:21] soundray, i ont know let me check [23:21] Prose: i meant like dd if=/dev/drive of=/dev/null see how fast it goes, how much cpu that sucks [23:21] Prose: well sorry I can't tell you more.... [23:21] mark_: if you make multiple backups of lots of files there are bound to be many files that are unchanged.. they use the same file-data space and just a hard link is added [23:21] slayton: I will try a 4GB file... maybe it needs more 'data' to have statistical pertinence [23:22] slayton: thanks anyways :) [23:22] hey, this started just today (Firefox updated yesterday), when I go to download a file it segfaults and crashes. It does it when I push the Save button. Anybody else having this problem? [23:22] soundray: root@enaner-desktop:~# ssh 127.0.0.1 [23:22] ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused [23:22] KyleK: i dont know the dd command, I'll man it [23:22] lakis1982: sorry, was helping out someone i gave instructions to before .. you need to add this at the /boot/grub/menu.lst on the line of the kernel you boot (might have to add that to all if you switch a lot between them), add it to the end [23:22] soundray, no im installing it now [23:22] Prose: ok good luck, I transfered a 240mb file and it showed up for me [23:22] KyleK: hmm okay, convert and copy [23:22] Prose I'm running hardy with gnome-terminal [23:22] mark_: also you can tell rsnapshot to ignore certain paths, for example /tmp which probably does change alot from snapshot-to-snapshot but you dont really care about that data so no reason to waste space on it [23:22] enaner: do not paste stuff here, especially without an explanation [23:23] enaner: what are you trying to do? [23:23] slayton: 7.1 via ssh myself but I might plug a screen and see if local access does anything [23:23] enaner, you don't have openssh-server installed [23:23] Star, n o i mean default language [23:23] enaner, please type sudo apt-get install openssh-server if you want to do that [23:23] Prose, it shouldn't make a difference you get the same terminal output [23:23] soundray, now that i got it hwo do i make it default?? [23:23] slayton: yeah you're probably right [23:23] enaner: you need to find out the LAN address of the server (not the lo address) [23:23] anyone know a good place to download gnome themes? [23:24] Help me! I have the Firewire PCMCIA card plugged into the laptop and the camera is plugged in and switched on. When I look at Kino Preferences under the IEEE 1394 tab, it says "The IEEE 1394 Subsystem is not responding. The raw1394 module must be loaded, and you must have read and write access to /dev/raw1394" - What do I need to do? [23:24] schmitty, you can check out gnome-looks.org [23:24] slayton, ompaul, enaner: It's also possible (though unlikely I'd guess) that the ssh server is installed but not running, in which case the solution would be 'sudo invoke-rc.d ssh start'. [23:24] Can I install Ubuntu on a HD then move it to a different computer? [23:24] ompaul: on the desktop or server? [23:24] javagamer: probably [23:24] what kind of fileserving speed would you exptect from a fileserver on wi-fi 802.11g / [23:24] javagamer: yes [23:24] ?

[23:24] Firefox segmentation fault when downloading a file. This happening to anyone else? [23:24] enaner, on the server if you want to log into it [23:25] scrap that, stupid question [23:25] javagamer: I have done this. The machines must be reasonably similar [23:25] javagamer: I think it still needs to be the same architecture.. so both machines use the same kernel etc [23:25] Nite. [23:25] javagamer: you may have some odd things happen if you enable 3d acceleration, but then use a different kind of graphics card [23:25] GNOME THEMES where can i download some cool ones?

When a new message comes through, the bottom row will pile up a few messages and such until you click on the screen and it will sort itself out. Is there something possible causing this? Thanks. [23:33] soundray, ok ok thanks [23:33] GOTFrogqc: is it a .deb file? [23:33] easyjesus: then it's either not installed or your mirror broke the package somehow, which shouldn't happen.

I'm trying to install ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 PVR TV Tuner on ubuntu [23:34] im verifying the install now [23:34] Blakstone no a tar.gz [23:34] easyjesus: most likely you'd find a file at /usr/bin/deluge, possibly /usr/bin/deluge-torrent that the menu entry should be pointing to [23:34] slart, any specific suggestions [23:34] javier: VBScript code from MS Office is not straightforward to translate to OpenOffice.org unfortunately [23:34] easyjesus: you can also check for installation status in the various GUI package manager front-ends or with the command 'apt-cache policy deluge-torrent' [23:35] should I get a .dev instread? [23:35] jevon: what did you write that didn't work? [23:35] GOTFrogqc: what's the package? [23:35] avast === root is now known as Guest95727 [23:35] I tried reinstalling grub thriugh an older live CD, no luck there [23:36] GOTFrogqc: Untar it and read the documentation that most likely comes with it (or on the product web site) [23:36] GOTFrogqc: use synaptic package manager under system->administration [23:36] can anyone help me? I'm trying to install ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0 PVR TV Tuner on ubuntu [23:36] jevon: ah.. sorry.. got you confused with javier .. [23:36] I think it's available through apt-get [23:36] (the repos) [23:36] ok thanks [23:36] If I can just get one folder off the hard drive, I can reinstall [23:36] BlakStone: avast isn't open source [23:36] it's not i checked [23:36] BCM43: ok, now the error is gone and instead the IEEE 1394 tab is empty. No devices are listed. [23:37] jevon: grub error 2, right.. there are tutorials on how to reinstall grub.. I don't know the syntax by heart [23:37] does openoffice use gtk or something else? [23:37] okay [23:37] CorpseFeeder: im not sure about that. You need to be root to opearte IEEE 1394 on ubuntu though [23:37] soundray, thank you man you made it work [23:37] apophis_ch, grate advice i was starting them with + as you can do in excel, but = works perfectly for me [23:37] GOTFrogqc: There is a .deb available though I just found - download that instead.
