[00:00] tj83: That's what I'm thinking. But tainting... [00:00] Jack_sparrow: I have to go [00:00] cya [00:00] Leefmc, Don't know what all the options are here but an example command for x264 is "mencoder input.avi -o output.avi -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=3000 pass=1 nr=2000" [00:01] Leefmc, Ahh, nr is noise reduction, I think the rest are self explanitory [00:01] ryan_, i really dont know... [00:01] Jordan_U: Ooo itsactually doing something [00:01] tj83: no errors in xorg.0 [00:01] tj83: No problem. Thanks for trying to help. I appreciate it. :D [00:02] ryan_ that tainting message is a political statement, not an error [00:02] koshari: thanks [00:03] ryan_, you see... linux hates non-free software :) [00:03] ryan_: so you are running the nvidia restricted driver then, ? [00:03] koshari, yes he is [00:04] ryan_ so you installed it withthe automatic driver manager? [00:04] If Linux becomes popular as windows will there be viruses for Linux [00:05] ryan_ what card is it and does glxgears give errors and what framerate in the default size are you getting [00:05] sun01tech no [00:05] !virus [00:05] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [00:05] Jordan_U: So does the mov file format need anything? My goal is to not only have it work as flawless for me as it did in windows & QT, but to have it work flawlessly over the web. I assume using .mov is part of this, but is it? [00:05] sun01tech sure there will, but they wont do much without root access. [00:05] Trying to get my wireless card up and running, dhclient wlan0 mutters about there already being a pid and killing it, then tries to get a dhcpoffer and goes to sleep. I tried to go up to network manager and go to wlan0 and hit 'configure' and it said, 'this interface does not exist' [00:05] I am trying to use ndiswrapper to connect [00:06] sun01tech, Very unlikely, there will however likely be trogans which no operating system can defend against completely [00:06] sun01tech You will always be able to find malicious programs if you download random things off the internet. But staying withing the repos will not be a problem [00:06] koshari: Yes, automatic driver manager. [00:06] Koshari: Nvidia 8600gt [00:07] ryan_: give glxgears a run [00:07] Leefmc, Quicktime can view h.264 in an avi container just as well as in a quicktime container, mencoder does however seem to support .mov container [00:07] Koshari: glxgears gives no errors. [00:07] =~ 6500 fps. [00:07] ryan_: framerate? === DarkAudi1 is now known as DarkAudit [00:08] ryan_: that card should be a LOT faster than that, [00:08] Jordan_U: I got an outputted mov, and it seems to play, imma upload it to the web and see if it works on my windows box. (No sound though, i'm vnc'n) [00:08] koshari: it just jumped to 11k fps. [00:08] hey guys I'm trying to install remastersys but it won't work because i dont have mkisofs so i tried installing cdrtools but i dont think it worked, any help installing remastersys? [00:08] ok thats better, well it looks like the restricted drivers are functioning fine, are you using compiz or matacity [00:09] compiz. [00:09] koshari: compiz [00:09] can you change to metacity and see ifthere is a diffe? [00:09] Are you guys talking about getting Compiz to work on an ATI Radeon Xpress card? [00:09] Any help? [00:09] koshari: how can I change? [00:09] btw how did you install compiz? [00:10] I need some help getting Visual Effects enabled... I have 8.04 [00:10] koshari: it's installed by default [00:10] Leefmc, The most common problem I have had with transcoding ( in quicktime pro ) is that the sound and video did not sync correctly, so make sure you check that [00:10] My video card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M [00:11] rsk i know it is but some people install beryl and also advanced settings manager and enable other pulguins [00:11] Jordan_U: K thanks. (Though i actually never had any problems) [00:11] Hi, all. Are the customized Dell images for 8.04 available somewhere on the Web? I need my Broadcom wi-fi to work out-of-box, otherwise I won't be able to connect to the Internet [00:11] Are there any alternatives to remastersys? [00:11] Jordan_U: Also, i hope mencoder can make progressive downloads possible? That is, they download as they play? (mov h264) [00:12] ilembitov: you have to enable the restricted drivers or ndiswrapper [00:12] I'm trying to get dual screens set up. I have an nvidia card, try setting it up via nvidia-settings and I can get them both to work but one of my screens keeps flickering on and off [00:12] Jordan_U: Hmm nope, QT Pro on my windows box doesn't recognize the .mov [00:12] Leefmc, I think that is a feature of the player rather than the codec / container but I may be wrong [00:12] ryan_ metacity --replace [00:12] Josdell: the problem is, that I won't be able to download it, since I don't have means for wired connection in my house, only wireless [00:12] Leefmc, :( [00:13] Jordan_U: Trying avi in a sec [00:13] ryan_ and to change back to compiz , compiz --replace [00:13] Dezine Are you trying to use xinerama [00:13] I think it's twinview [00:13] koshari: sorry, I dropped off internet while you gave explaination. [00:13] Does anyone here use Enlightenment DR17? I can't copy any output from xterm, right click unhilights it, ctrl-c doesn't types C at prompt [00:13] Dezine ok.. cuz the other wont work [00:13] Hey guys, my browser is having trouble rendering a webpage properly (mlgpro.com) when I open it, everything is moved to the right. Here is the bug report, I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. Here is the bug report, has a screen shot of what is going on. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/244046 [00:13] Launchpad bug 244046 in firefox-3.0 "firefox doesn't render webpage properly" [Undecided,Invalid] [00:14] ryan_ "metacity --replace" without gqotes [00:14] powertool08, Middle click [00:14] Why would this one be suggested on every site I find? [00:14] koshari: OKay, thanks [00:14] ryan_ and compiz --replace to change back [00:14] ilembitov: switch to Windows, dowload the ndiswrapper to a USB Drive and while you're at it, get the drivers from the WIndows system, yes that's where you get them, and then switch to Ubuntu, install ndiswrapper, select the drivers, modprobe ndiswrapper, and you're done, or there might be something else but thats what the internet is for [00:14] Jordan_U: thanks [00:14] Dezine Because xinerama doesnt work with compiz [00:15] on nvidia [00:15] koshari: same troubles. [00:15] Ok.. so I should try xinerama? [00:15] I don't need fancy effects [00:15] Are there any alternatives to remastersys or could someone help me install mkisofs [00:15] Jordan_U: The avi doesn't seem to be web compatible with QT Pro, and when downloaded, an error occurs. Jeez i hate encoding heh [00:15] I tried to use 'dhclient wlan0' at the command line and it gave me "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." What might cause this? [00:16] Dezine: trying to choose a dvd player? i just got here. [00:16] Anybody runs Ununtu on a laptop with Nvidia video card? [00:16] !xinerama [00:16] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [00:16] ryan_: well that would seem to eliminate compiz and restricted drivers.... [00:16] how can i sync a third generation nano with my banshee library? It's one of the ones with the new firmware and I heard there was some sort of workaround, but I really can't seem to find much about it. [00:16] sonne yes, here with a 7200go [00:16] snova, trying to set up dual screen.. I get it with nvidia-settings but one of the monitors keeps flickering on and off [00:16] koshari: does the hibernate feature works? [00:16] koshari: Okay. [00:16] sonne dont know i dont use it [00:16] Dezine: ah. for a moment, i thought xinerama was a video player. [00:16] koshari: Thanks. [00:16] nope [00:16] Josdell That page renders here just fine [00:17] well I don't think so [00:17] Dezine: but not only do i not have an nvidia card, i only have one monitor, so i can't help. [00:17] thanks anyway [00:17] ryan_: try a live session and see if the prob persists, you may have a xorg issue [00:17] Can someone help me? I'm having some problems with the openchrome video driver [00:17] I bought an lcd awhile ago and decided to hook up the old crt [00:17] koshari: Hibernate and sleep are two useful featurs and they doesn't work after installing nvidia driver [00:18] koshari: Okay will do. If I have a xorg issue, does that mean copy from the live session? [00:18] Is there another way of creating an ISO of my system without remastersys [00:18] when i run ntfs-config cannot check internal drives [00:18] anybody know how i can sync an ipod nano (third generation = troublesom firmware) with an ubuntu music player? [00:19] sonne Due to known problems in the video driver.. some of them have workarounds.. [00:19] Josdell reconstructor? [00:19] Jack_Sparrow: I think ubuntu must do better for Laptops. thats a shame [00:19] thanks koshari, i'll look into it [00:19] Jack_Sparrow: Perhaps company's shame [00:20] sonne Has nothing to do with ubuntu.. and everything to do with the drivers from nvidia [00:20] josdell: reconstructor is good i've used it before... what exactly are you trying to do? [00:20] ryan_ make a copy of the xorg.conf file from the live session , back up your hdd version of it, and then copy the saver one from the live session, and see if that helps [00:20] Bllz reconstructor will not create a livecd of his install [00:20] Jack_Sparrow: Yes but why they don't test it when they know there are lots of laptops out there with Nvidia cards [00:21] sonne You need to go to #ubuntu-offtopic to continue the discussion [00:21] Jack_Sparrow: ok [00:21] koshari: Okay, I'll give that a shot if it works. Thank you. [00:22] jack_sparrow: is he trying to save his custom config files or just have an installation cd with different apps and such installed? [00:22] Bllz: create an ISO of my system [00:22] Bllz I know what reconstructor does.. I worked on it with seveas [00:22] koshari: what directory is xorg.conf in again? [00:23] /etc/X11 [00:23] ryan_ ect/X11 [00:23] Thank you much. [00:23] jack_sparrow: didn't mean to challenge you... i was just unclear on what josdell was trying to do, but I guess I'll just buzz off... [00:23] I'll let you know if it works. [00:23] Jordan_U: This looks close, but ofcourse i get some errors ;P http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=643334 [00:23] Bllz: I'm tryying to make an ISO with my configurations and apps but without my home/joseph folder, will it work? [00:24] josdell: i remember seeing a thread in ubuntuforums about something like that. let me see if i can find it [00:24] brb [00:24] i like some of the gme on this linux [00:24] game [00:24] what version of the madwifi driver comes with ubuntu 8.04? [00:24] Bllz: okay thanks [00:24] Bllz np. based on his original question , he was not trying to do what reconstructor can do... YOu can create a custom cd but there are limitations to what will work and it cant take your live install and make a livecd of it [00:26] jack_sparrow: gotcha. yeah i looked into something similar a while back and gave up... and i remember settling on reconstructor so that i could at least have my own apps... [00:26] but it's not perfect... [00:26] Bllz We worked hard on reconstructor.. but it does have limitations [00:26] so, can either of you help me get to remastersys [00:27] hey, i have to revert back to an older kernel. how do i get the nvidia drivers to work there? [00:27] Jack_sparrow: i like it though =) [00:27] :) [00:27] oi [00:27] josdell: this looks like it might be right http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=688872&highlight=custom+iso [00:27] hi! looking the output of "top", I see klogd process taking close to 90% CPU always, is this normal ??

WTF? === fserve_ is now known as fserve [00:28] aguitel Windows partitions can get locked by windows and then ubuntu will set them to read only. boot windows and power down twice should clear it [00:29] CorpseFeeder Please dont use the rude shorthand in here [00:29] Jordan_U: I'm getting an "unknown codec libxvid" and "unknown code libx264" with ffmpeg, are these codecs a separate download?

[00:29] as far as xbuntu is concered its like they are not even on the machine [00:30] What I've been used to using is a combined linux desktop/server. I need to have both on one box. [00:30] CorpseFeeder there was more in there that is not family friendly text [00:30] !netbook [00:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about netbook [00:30] So, my question is, which is the best ubuntu for me to install? Server, then add what I need/want? Or desktop, and install from there what I need? [00:30] Have any of you tried Ubuntu Netbook? [00:30] Jack_Sparrow: yes, probably. [00:31] johnfg INstall server edition and add desktop to it [00:31] Jack_Sparrow: Is that a whole package add-on available after I install server? [00:31] shaba1 you will need to mount them first [00:32] johnfg sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:32] johnfg: I'd say reverse: 1st destop and add server components as needed :-) [00:32] OK. I'm coming from a redhat/fedora/centos background. [00:32] etronik: Why so? [00:32] etronik either will work fine.. He can use whatever cd he has [00:33] my reasoning being - get a complete desktop and fine tune server components, and with a full desktop component you get easier management [00:33] Bllz: does this guide create an ISO of my system without my home/joseph folder but keep all my configurations? [00:33] I've got one burned and will be burning the other here in a few minutes. [00:33] etronik i dont think there is a ubuntu-server metapackage, so one would need to install all the server packages individually [00:33] josdell: i don't think so. it makes a copy of your system [00:33] i'm sure there's got to be a way to exclude your home folder [00:33] koshari correct [00:34] well... you could just delte it from the chroot before you build the CD... that ought to work [00:34] can't enable write support for internal device (ntfs) in ubuntu hardy [00:34] koshari: That's the way we used to have to do it with the early redhats, before they went commercial. [00:34] josdell: it will keep all of your configs though [00:34] with what etronik mentioned, will the install ubuntu-desktop install all of it? [00:34] Bllz: does it all just end up with an ISO? [00:34] aguitel You can force it.. but with force you run the risk of corruption of files [00:35] johnfg mind you most people may only need to add LAMP and maybe quota to a ubuntutu desktop [00:35] It being the desktop? [00:35] aguitel http://forum.notebookreview.com/archive/index.php/t-211958.html [00:35] josdell yes [00:36] how come on my other computer, folders like "pictures", "music", "videos" etc appear under "Places->Bookmarks_>pictures" etc, but on this computer they just appear under "Places->pictures"? What is up with that when both computers are runing the same Ubuntu 8.04? [00:36] josdell or it may just burn it directly to a dvd, you'll have to read [00:36] but it looks like what you were describing [00:36] Bllz: i just want to end up with the ISO i don't want to do the rest of the guide though [00:36] johnfg: It really depends you know? what do you need desktop for ? and what server components you need ? depending on the most use you'll make then the decision you take...

[00:38] josdell: kk. btw the easiest way for you to do it will be to back up your home directory (the one you want to omit) and then delte it [00:38] then restore it when you're done [00:38] i think.... [00:38] but check [00:38] etronik dd copy command yea [00:39] can someone help me put nes rom games on my emulator?

But they don't show up under places->bookmarks. [00:40] they're illegal? [00:40] etronik: I appreciate the advice and the good questions.

[00:41] why are u away saint-takeshi [00:41] johnfg NOpe.. the same [00:41] OK, then I think that clinches it for now in favor of server first, then install ubuntu desktop.

[01:52] Drk_guy how would I boot the old kernel up? [01:52] Cusoon959: I reinstall at a drop of a hat [01:52] hey did u say mono but I have read that mono only works with .NET ???? [01:52] If everything works as i think it works, grub has an entry for each kernel you have [01:52] Gaming4JC, [01:52] Cusoon959: Keeping your /home on a separate partition is recommended [01:53] anyone? Help on permissions? [01:53] m-c_ ah good idea... I should do that next time. Thanks! [01:53] Drk_guy so how do I access grub to tell which kernel to boot?... [01:53] Leefmc: imho it is best to read and do - learning linux is no like reading a good novel [01:53] Gaming4JC, Smash ESC at boot-time so grub shows up menu instead of booting directly into kernel [01:53] hello all [01:53] DIL: True, but im often just confused at certain areas. Most cases i dont know what to ask because im weary of something i do not know heh [01:54] Werenerd: what problems do you have? [01:54] Does anyone know how to enable video wallpaper with vlc [01:54] Drk_guy ok I'll try it thnx, poseidon you have any more ideas before I reboot? [01:54] Odd-rationale: I need some help with file permissions. I have my desktop that has all my media and then I have a laptop and a PS3 that I want to watch/view/listen to the various media's. What permissions should I apply to the files? [01:54] try "dpkg --configure -a" [01:54] Gaming4JC, "Good Luck, Keyes Out..." [01:54] XD [01:54] ;D [01:54] Leefmc: you fell a few times b4 you could couldnt you [01:54] ok here goes, brb all [01:54] didnt [01:54] Odd-rationale: currently I am the owner and the group " users " has read & write access [01:55] Werenerd: 777 will give permissions to all... [01:55] Odd-rationale: is that safe/secure? [01:55] DIL: Heh, no offense, but im confused ;P [01:55] Werenerd: how are you sharing the files? [01:55] DIL: Restate please :) [01:55] Samba === IndyGunFreak_ is now known as IndyGunFreak [01:55] Kaffeine is installed, and ran the install_css.sh script, so libdvdcss2 is installed, too. However, Kaffeine will not play dvds - says "encrypted". Evidently, it doesn't recognize libdvdcss. vlc plays fine. Solution? [01:55] fritzophrenic: yes [01:55] Leefmc: you fell a few times b4 you could walk - [01:56] can someone help me with a ndiswrapper problem? [01:56] Odd-rationale: and I am on a password secured network... that should be OK right? [01:56] !ask |matthew_ [01:56] matthew_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:56] DIL: Ah. Well umm, sure? :p [01:56] thanks, m-c_ [01:56] Werenerd: yes, it should be fine... however, most of the access permisions are set in samba, iirc... [01:56] ive been having a problem i cant seem to fix for about 2 months now, and this my next step [01:57] Well, I kinda screwed up. I was messing with GParted on my other computer and accidentally unflagged my partition as boot. [01:57] to ask for help here [01:57] any1 hear use cedega [01:57] hoping someone can help me.. or relate [01:57] ? [01:57] Odd-rationale: so just opening up a terminal and recursively setting the group to 777 wouldn't work? [01:57] Then restarted my computer, and nothing's happening any more. [01:57] ay messenger out for linux that use web cams? [01:57] what problem are you talking about, D4t4min3r? [01:57] I've been trying to get ndiswrapper working, but at the stage where I modprobe the module in, it seems to work fine (no errors) but then I can't open programs (even nautilus). Anyone know what I could do? [01:57] PsuedoBob: which partition, it dos't matter for linux [01:57] Werenerd: i'm not sure... i never needed to set up a samba share before... try !samba [01:58] wanted to know if there is a tiny bit of lag in cedega will a better graphics card fix the prob [01:58] well, crap..."mount: mount point /mnt/windisk does not exist"...maybe because I'm trying to create it! Help, anyone? [01:58] Well, it was the main partition and the largest that had linux on it [01:58] Werenerd: but i wouldn't think so [01:58] Odd-rationale: gotcha [01:58] odd [01:58] I mean windows [01:58] Odd-rationale: thanks man, I appreciate it [01:58] !samba | Werenerd [01:58] Werenerd: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[01:58] when i have sound playing from firefox, like from youtube the sound works, but then if i play sound from my pc like from a mp3 file through any application, it wont play. or if i switch it around... starting the computer i start with sound from mp3 it plays, but then no sound for firefox [01:58] So now my computer won't boot at all. [01:58] perlsyntax_: I believe so - - - [01:59] hello [01:59] PsuedoBob: you can reset it using gparted or fdisk [01:59] cool [01:59] is it just msn? [01:59] how do I uninstall ubuntu completely so that it is erased from my boot record? [01:59] fritzophrenic: so make the directory [01:59] But I can't run Gparted... If I could it'd be a single click to fix it, but the problem is I can't do anything. [01:59] can anyone relate to this.. or have heard of this issue before? [01:59] garbaranl:format your hard drive [01:59] ... [02:00] PsuedoBob: is the filesystem you're trying to work on mounted? [02:00] PsudeoBoB: get a gparted liveCD [02:00] that won't alter the boot record [02:00] Yeah, jbroome. [02:00] pseudobob you should still be able to boot a Live CD [02:00] garbarano: are you dual booting? [02:00] PsuedoBob: it will not boot a live cd? [02:00] yep [02:00] I'm dual-booting [02:00] I've been trying to get ndiswrapper working, but at the stage where I modprobe the module in, it seems to work fine (no errors) but then I can't open programs (even nautilus). Anyone know what I could do? [02:00] garbarano:Then I have no clue. [02:00] I think my live Ubuntu CD may be corrupted, whenever I try to do anything on it it freezes >.< [02:01] pseudobob you can boot with an Ubuntu CD in the drive, select run live desktop or whatever, and run gparted from there and put the boot flag back in place [02:01] I'm re-downloading it now, in case I can't get anything else to work. [02:01] matthew_: please limit your repeat questions to one an hour or so [02:01] PsuedoBob: Get a new one, its a fast download ? === Pixeltim1 is now known as PixelTim1 [02:01] That's my plan, xbj. Once the new one downloads, I'll try it. [02:01] ok [02:02] That doesn't require anything else to run live, does it? [02:02] is it possible to make grub boot Windows by default? [02:02] m-c_: noone is responding though. *makes pouting face [02:02] PsuedoBob: There should be a way to test the CD [02:02] matthew_: reboot doesn't fix it...? [02:02] nuit!! [02:02] PixelTim1, its fast enough :) you can test the cd from the drop down list as soon as it boots up, if it gets that far [02:02] matthew_: no one is being paid here, so take what you can get or purchase support [02:02] There's an option to check the disk, but I think the answer comes when I press it and it freezes... [02:02] pseudobob one of the choices when you boot the CD will be "check CD for defects" [02:02] odd-rationale: i fixed the actual error using a recovery console from an older kernal version [02:02] I se [02:02] see [02:03] I suppose I'll just try the new disk, and hope it works better. Thanks guys. [02:03] garbarano: yes [02:03] odd-rationale: But I had to remove the module, so ndiswrapper isn't working anymore [02:03] Jell-O, all [02:03] matthew_: what version of ubuntu are you using? and what wireless card are you configuring? [02:03] my wireless won't work on my laptop, and i'm trying to reinstall broken packages, i've got the packages on disk, but everytime i try running the .deb packages, an error message comes up that says your system has broken dependencies [02:03] what is it? :) [02:03] odd-rationale: Hardy Heron, and my card is a TrendNet TEW-424UB [02:04] can anyone help me with this issues? [02:04] garbarano: yes, see /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:04] What is the equivalent of{ Mv compat.h.1 compat.h} in Ubuntu Mv is not a command... Thanks [02:04] odd-rationale: However, i'm using the chipset makers X64 drivers, because TrendNet Doesn't supply them [02:04] brad i think something like sudo apt-get -f install will fix that. also as a tip if you use aptitude install of apt-get in the future to install stuff it will suggest different solutions to dependancy problems [02:04] when i have sound playing from firefox, like from youtube the sound works, but then if i play sound from my pc like from a mp3 file through any application, it wont play. or if i switch it around... starting the computer i start with sound from mp3 it plays, but then no sound for firefox === NoLimitz is now known as KoPaCh [02:04] :) [02:04] sorry about the noob question, but is lst a text file that i can view? [02:04] ZippyP: mv [02:04] matthew_: so after you remove the ndiswrapper module, other programs work again? [02:04] too sam :) [02:04] ZippyP: mv does not have capital M [02:05] hello can anyone help me with gnome-lirc-properties? it hangs when configuring [02:05] d4t4min3r, sudo apt-get install libflashsupport solved that problem on hardy for me [02:05] garbarano: yes [02:05] garbarano: sources.lst? yes [02:05] menu.lst, in /boot/grub/menu :) [02:05] Flannel: i have installed sftp in my ubuntu server now, what is my user and pass for sftp to connect from another pc ?

So itd be your login and password [02:06] garbarano: remember it starts at 0 not 1 [02:06] su root, gedit [02:06] hmm, does ff3 open aim links correctly for people? it just does nothing for me [02:06] i still remember the line i used to edit to get expanded memory for Wing Commander 2 [02:06] That was pretty simple...Thanks for the help. I'll have to remember that. [02:07] trying then... Flannel ;) [02:07] got it, yoyo. thanks! [02:07] matthew_: i've heard problems of ndiswrapper doing things like that before... i don't know whether there is a good fix... try googleing your card and see... [02:07] garbarano: np [02:08] odd-rationale: should I google the card name or the name of the chipset? [02:08] anyone here know why sshfs in ubuntu repositories doesn't depend on ssh? [02:08] isn't it sort of vital for sshfs to operate/ [02:08] Flannel: thanks very much, i can now connect from filezilla from my other computer, that is what i needed, to transfer files to wwwroot [02:08] Hello, I have a script that has (#!/bin/sh) and is not working [02:08] matthew_: both [02:08] What Ubuntu use ?

[02:09] also be more specific about 'not working' [02:09] MrLinux: /bin/bash [02:09] chmod +x scriptfile [02:09] yoyon: not relevant [02:09] every linux has a /bin/sh [02:09] Toba: ubuntu installs ssh with the base system [02:09] too much would break without it [02:09] /bin/sh on Linux systems is usally just a symlink to bash [02:09] LSD|Ninja: he is talking about the shell (sh). not ssh... :P [02:10] Odd-rationale: he was talking about sshfs before [02:10] Is it possiable to dual-boot Ubuntu with Freespire?

[02:16] matthew_, i got the one that says "works out of the box",,, and it does! [02:17] odd-rationale: by using it when they didn't have it secured :) [02:18] matthew_: if you want to try for anonymous, use privoxy, tor, and macchanger. [02:18] SeaPhor: Hold on a sec, I think my chip-set matches that one that says "Kernel Panics on install", time to see if those instructions are helpful [02:18] www.google.com [02:18] matthew_: either anonymous, or ti side-step restrictions... [02:19] odd-rationale: I don't need anon., i'm just trying to test my net's security [02:19] matthew_: use wpa [02:19] odd-rationale: thats what I'm doing, however, I happen to have a massive word list that I want to test === cwraig^glitch is now known as cwraig [02:20] matthew_: and use diceware for your passwords... ;) [02:20] odd-rationale: I also want to free up a spot on my routers connections, it can only have 4 cables, and I'm using the one my brother wants to use for his PS2 [02:20] how can I enable root login to sftp ?

[02:21] my friend has a machine that crashed during an update and now his wireless does not work-he has no nic available where can he place the .debs so the updater can handle the updates?

[02:21] matthew_: did you follow a howto? which one? [02:23] odd-rationale: about a 100 HowTos (well, not really, but a large mix), I figured most of it out for myself, played around with the drivers, eventually finding that the RealTek X64 drivers are the only ones that "work", however, they cause my current problem [02:24] What kernel version/revision ships with 8.04? [02:24] on the liveCD [02:25] let me see [02:25] odd-rationale: I _might_ have just figured it out, it appears that I need to blacklist the linux driver, could this be what caused the problem? [02:25] looks like 2.6.24-16-generic [02:25] stercus [02:25] I was hoping for -17 [02:25] looks like I'll need to do that reinstall anyway [02:25] http://des.truct.org/tmp/jfs-unknown.png < any idea why partimage won't recognize a jfs partition? [02:25] matthew_: so basically, you did "ndiswrapper -i filename.inf [02:26] odd-rationale: yup, then modprobed it, causing my problems [02:26] matthew_: then modprobe ndiswrapper? [02:26] what a headache [02:26] morning all [02:26] odd-rationale: yup [02:26] if only hardware developers were open source [02:26] is it possible to install an ubuntu without burning the iso image to cd?

[02:27] Ajax, theres no such thing as free when in terms of hardware [02:27] matthew_: does your problem persist even after you do "sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper"? or you still need to boot into recovery mode? [02:27] how Ajax ? [02:27] where does ubuntu place the .debss it installs? [02:27] Does *anyone* have a copy of the linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic deb sitting around on their harddrive?

[02:28] Neel_: it depends on what you installed [02:28] odd-rationale: After I modprobe, nothing works, all commands hang, so I have to go into the recovery console of the older Kernel (which doesn't load the module) and remove it [02:28] rainwalker [02:28] im googling it mate...ive mounted it already [02:28] it's not in the repos anymore [02:28] Neel_: /var/cache/apt or something iirc [02:28] MrLinux: do you have ooenssl installed?

[02:28] matthew_: yeah, then i really think that your card in not supported... [02:28] Neel_: ah...I have no idea then, sorry [02:28] MrLinux: openssl [02:29] how do i find what tty a device is on [02:29] openssl is already the newest version.

[02:58] does that mean that if I dl hardy now ff3 will be in the install? or will it auto update? [02:58] LSD|Ninja: lol, thats why i laughed [02:58] Neo_The_User: you need a 64-bit machine to run a 64-bit operating system [02:58] well i mean its not that big a difference. 32-bit 64-bit [02:58] lol [02:58] omg [02:58] lol!

[03:03] Fryguy--: dont think its the drives? [03:04] deeceefar2, i think it is but not too sure how to stop automounting the usb stick and noting else [03:04] Storrgie: it might be the physical drives, the contents of them isn't going to matter though [03:04] iofthemourning: 8.04 really is a crappy release, it's worth avoiding if you can [03:04] Thanks all -- I need to go now!

Simply turning off GVM's automounting of hot-plugged and inserted removable media would be simpler. From the Gnome Panel, click System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media and then uncheck the first two boxes on the storage tab. This will turn off automounting for everything not defined in /etc/fstab, and you can turn it back on if desired as easily. If you just [03:06] wanted to disable automounting of certain devices you could give them their own line in /etc/fstab, making sure that the fourth field of their line include noauto so they are never automounted.

[03:19] MrLinux: set PS1 to what you want to set it to, with embedded colorcodes set how you want. Plenty of tutorials available on google for identifying these colorcodes and how to use them [03:19] anyone in here know about running 2 monitors with an nvidea card? [03:19] timmy_: also it says not to install guest additions on that guide, but I've had no problems with them, I think that is an outdated warning [03:19] people - sorry for being so repetative but i really need a simple favour - send me the unetbootin file to install ubuntu from windows .its blocked here in china [03:19] :p [03:19] okay [03:19] !repeat | Itai-Michaelson [03:19] Itai-Michaelson: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [03:19] Itai-Michaelson: saying you are sorry you are doing it doesn't make it right to do it [03:19] hi everybody! [03:20] timmy_: it works great for me, I develop in visual studio in windows partition all day long without problems [03:20] hello all, ai anyone able to help me out with grub? [03:20] okay.. [03:20] J-a-k-e: ask a question, don't ask to ask [03:20] was fixing the drivers no hassle? [03:21] Itai-Michaelson: if sourceforge is blocked, inetboot is not gonna work since it gets its files from sourceforge [03:21] timmy_: I just let the driver software crash on start up and close the error messages, not really too much of a hassel, but the ideal way is to reinstall windows and make the hardware profile copy before you've loaded any drivers on [03:22] Pixeltim1, i thought it gets it from the apt repo [03:22] Is there a good guide for setting up samba shares via commandline, as in on ubuntu-server? [03:23] I'd rather not have to use something like webmin [03:23] Overand: install it, create smb.conf, and you are done [03:23] plenty of documentation available for the contents of smb.conf [03:23] both in manpages, /usr/doc, and google [03:23] /usr/share/doc, sorry [03:23] Pixeltim1, how about wubi ? i thought that is an official part of ubuntu now [03:23] mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/timmy/.VirtualBox': File exists [03:23] I can't find that file [03:23] it's from my previous attempt to migrate the existing windows [03:24] timmy_: what do you mean you can't find it, it's right there you just found it.. [03:24] er [03:24] It's too bad they don't have a nice frontend like used in the workstation versions of ubuntu, with ncurses [03:24] it's not showing up [03:24] timmy_: if you type 'ls' you won't see it [03:24] I'm trying to change the default shortcut for the home folder from: Alt+Home to Super+E, does anyone know how to do this, I've changed it in keyboard shortcuts but that doesn't change it for some reason [03:24] Overand: there's swat [03:24] files with a period in the beginning are 'hidden' [03:24] ¿Where Can I Find Start-up errors? [03:24] thanks [03:24] timmy_: ls -a will show even hidden files [03:24] timmy_: anything with . in front of it in ubuntu is a hidden file [03:25] and there's probably an equivalent option in the graphical file browser too [03:25] ctrl-h i think [03:25] yip [03:25] ok, well I have 3 hard drives, an ide 160 gig master with windows on it, a 30gig slave with ubuntu 8.04, and a 320 gig sata. Trying to boot ubuntu from the grub menu gives an "error 17" message" and if I try to boot windows off any drive but my 30gig slave (have tried reinstalling grub on to all drives) i get an error 13 message [03:25] J-a-k-e: and have you looked up what those errors mean? [03:26] (I'd rather not have to use samba at all, I'm probably going to mostly use NFS, but there are occasionally times i'llwant windows users to be able to read files [03:26] after mucking about with NFS, samba is pretty hairy, heh [03:26] Overand: it's harder than nfs, sure, but it's pretty straightforward for basic configurations [03:26] Fryguy--: 'swat' looks good [03:27] Fryguy--: yeah - i haven't touched it since i was a newbie, ala 2003 on a debian box, so I can probably figure it out [03:27] 3yhip[] [03:27] \4+ [03:27] I just recall having to manage usernames in a strange way, etc [03:27] Syntax error: Invalid command 'createrawvmdk' [03:28] does sun's [03:28] virtualbox ah nvm I'll just google [03:28] timmy: you have to install suns version [03:28] timmy: also some of those commands have capitals in them so make sure you either copy it or type it in exactly as written [03:30] Could Ubuntu handle an IRCd? [03:30] okay [03:30] can anyone tell me what package i need for anything that neesd complinign with libuuid? [03:30] yes [03:30] rwg - uh.... what do you mean? [03:30] Ubuntu handles an IRCd quite well, depending on your hardware [03:30] what's the apt-get command for installing java? [03:30] or is it not in the repositories [03:30] Question: Is there a list comparing the best linux friendly video formats? I need one that supports frame by frame very well. [03:31] Is Ubuntu RPM based? [03:31] rwg - nope... .deb as in Debian. [03:31] rwg: I'm sure ubuntu server could handle an IRCd, no idea why it couldn't [03:31] Fryguy--: this has only been a problem since I upgraded from 7.10 when 8.04 was released in April, error 17 refers to "can not mount selected partition" and error 13 refers to"Invalid or unsupported executable format" also I have already tried re-installing ubuntu. If I reinstall grub the problem seems to go away until i next restart [03:31] Hello. I am very new. I have blender 2.45 from the add/remove list on my machine and I'm trying to get 2.46. They (blender) says copy the .blender file to your home file after extraction. But it doesn't seem to be copying it, or extracting it. I can't tell which. And I have no clue. Any help would be really appreciated. It is probably something dumb since,as I said, I am new to Ubuntu. [03:32] anyone in here know about dual displays with nvidea? [03:32] psyber: i do. [03:32] cgantelope: Not entirely sure what your problem is, but if your trying to get 2.46 it is not in the main ubuntu repos. Download it from blender.org [03:32] thanks [03:32] oh nvm it's in add/remove [03:33] IndyGunFreak: is it possible to configure it to run the same was as windows? Specifically each display is independent? [03:33] psyber: you mean like each window is its own desktop? [03:33] Leefmc: Thank you. I have downloaded it from blender.org, but I don't know how to use what I got. [03:34] IndyGunFreak: yes, and that the displays have different resolutions [03:34] cgantelope: When you extract the folder, open it and you will see a blender executable. Simply run that, and you have your blender :) [03:34] IndyGunFreak: ATM I have both displays showing me the same thing [03:34] any GTK familiar programmers around to help some quests? [03:35] cgantelope: There are methods for installing it on the system, but really they are just masks and file placements. I wouldn't be the one to ask about those though, as i am rather new aswell. [03:35] psyber: you probably could.. but i'm not sure how, i have mine set up w/ twinview(both monitors make 1 big desktop) [03:35] * timmy makes sweet love with the working sound and wireless. [03:35] you better not break my heart again baby [03:35] IndyGunFreak: can you mouse from 1 display to another... because I cannot [03:35] psyber: with twinview?.. of course [03:36] psyber, you are set to cloned output [03:36] SithRee: in my xorg.conf I have twin view [03:37] you must have "Option" "Cloned" set then [03:37] SithRee: hold on ill check [03:37] I'm having trouble connecting to my router/gateway from my laptop running 7.10 server, can someone halp meh please? [03:37] SithRee: would that be in xorg.conf? [03:37] yes [03:38] Which repository is firefox 3.0 final in? Backports? [03:38] cgantelope: Did you need further help running blender itself? [03:38] what is the best music player in ubuntu ? [03:38] using library and others features ? [03:38] :/ [03:38] failed to install package "....virtualbox" <---- sun's version [03:38] how do I uninstall [03:38] philosophe: i'm unsure if its the best, btu amarok sounds great [03:38] philosophe: Depends on the desktop, etc. Many like Amarok, i had problems with that on GNOME, im currently using Rhythmbox [03:38] nvm [03:38] philosophe: "best" varies from person to person based on their individual criteria. The VLC player meets my needs [03:38] So I just have to completely get rid of virtualbox ose? [03:39] Leefmc: I tried double-clicking what seems to be the executable and nothing happens [03:39] timmy: sudo apt-get purge vbox [03:39] when i click on guest machines in my virtualbox guest window, nothing happens. any ideas why? === Lo_Pan_ is now known as Lo_Pan [03:39] cgantelope: What file on the blender site did you download, exactly? [03:39] Leefmc amarok has always run fine in gnome for me [03:39] !best [03:39] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:39] i need the library option and the quicksearch in my songs [03:39] with an equalizer ? [03:40] So whois the best then ? [03:40] SithRee: humm brb need to restart X [03:40] philosophe: Try amarok, if it works for you, its great [03:40] k [03:40] philosophe: there is no best, install them all, see which you like [03:40] when will the latest wine be available in the repos? [03:41] marshall: there is a vbox support channel here #vbox [03:41] b4l7424r: do you have the wine repo added to your source list [03:41] philosophe imho i beleive amarok to be superion to rytmox and itunes for large librarys, vlc is even good for little playlists [03:41] cgantelope: And if you right click the file named "blender", nothing happens? [03:41] no, someone said it would e available in the official ubuntu repos === threethirty_cook is now known as threethirty [03:41] eventually [03:42] thanks all :) [03:42] wine was upgraded in the repo today i believe [03:42] Leefmc: blender-2.46-linux-glibc236-py25-i386.tar.bz2 ...wasn't sure if I sent this correctly [03:42] cgantelope: Erm, right click and open the file, that is. [03:42] deeceefar2: thanks [03:42] cgantelope: yes i saw :) [03:42] asu [03:42] SithRee: still cloned... here is my "screen" section [03:42] marshall: np [03:42] Section "Screen" [03:42] Identifier "Screen0" [03:42] Device "Device0" [03:42] Monitor "Monitor0" [03:42] DefaultDepth 24 [03:42] psyber: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:42] SubSection "Display" [03:43] so what are some good video editing apps for linux? any new ones besides the classic answers of "lives, cinerella, etc etc" [03:43] we do apt-get install to install [03:43] my god turion x2 really heats up my room like a mofo [03:43] so for removing [03:43] it's getting brittney spears hot up in here [03:43] apt-get remove ? [03:43] Leefmc: right click gives me a menu. if I choose open, it does nothing. [03:44] SithRee: what subheading would cloned be under? Screen? [03:44] anyone know any guides to speed up ubuntu hardy? [03:45] I'd have to look myself [03:45] what is the program where you can search your comp,, the hot key is f12 [03:46] Ubuntu is pissing me off. It seems to randomly work or break depending on its mood. My latest example: My ubuntu sporadically connects to my wireless router. [03:46] cgantelope: Not sure then, sorry :/. Hang around, ask your question, hopefully someone else has an idea [03:46] gah, how can I paste a few lines in here [03:47] scifiguy951: run it and then pull up a commandline and run top or ps aux [03:48] i dont know what program it is? its for ubuntu i know that when you have it installed the hot key for it is f12 [03:49] yakuake? [03:49] When ever I boot up my computer I get an error while Grub is loading... "Error 17" [03:50] if i add the wine repos to get the latest wine, won't there be confusion in synaptic when the latest wine is added in the ubuntu repos aslo? [03:50] *also* [03:50] same problem I have it seems [03:51] I don't have sound while playing music and counter-strike through wine [03:51] Asmo: This is a wine channel [03:51] i am awesome [03:51] why do i have to sudo everything?! who has my root pw??

I set up software raid 1. Then decided not to use it, but couldn't get it to go away. In trying to delete raid 1 I somehow messed up my hard drives (4 of them), and now cannot even get a command prompt. Reinstalling does not help. [03:52] it created it once then I deleted it cause I messed up the partition [03:52] When ever I boot up my computer I get an error while Grub is loading... "Error 17" [03:52] b4l7424rk, It should be fine. but if you want to be on the safe side, comment out "#" the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list and add the wine repos then apt-get update. Once you've installed wine you could return it back to normal. [03:52] theDarkAura: it's that way for security reasons... if you really want to be root there are ways but it is NOT adviseable. [03:52] oh wait nvm [03:53] Though that may cause some dep problems. [03:53] !no root [03:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about no root [03:53] i bet those ubuntu people have the password and are looking at my ... stuff [03:53] !root [03:53] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:53] i need to specify a valid JDK installation to my netbeans ? [03:53] how can i do that ?

[04:04] !doesn't work | matthew___ [04:04] matthew___: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. === zak__ is now known as zakm [04:04] anyone know why after a clean install on 1 of 3 hd ubuntu gives me a insert boot media error? i have tried reinstalling 4 or 5 times, no dual boot just clean ubuntu [04:04] wols, grub just hangs for a long time [04:04] princeOfCode: Have you tried rtorrent? [04:04] what pack have keyboards? [04:04] gooody, lol alrihgt do this [04:04] probably?? [04:05] matthew___: then you did it wrong. theris NO grub when you use the LiveCD. totally utterle NONE [04:05] matthew___, grub on the cd hangs???? [04:05] Jordan_U, no, ill try it, im lookin for sumtin lite [04:05] :( [04:05] little_unix: find out with dpkg -S [04:05] gooody, sudo fdisk -l [04:05] hi all [04:05] Seven_Six_Two, somehow, when I have my liveCD in, a little flashing underscore just stays there for a while, then the grub window starts [04:06] ajhtiredwolf: sorry i'm new to linux [04:06] gooody, dont worry so am i [04:06] Hello everyone. [04:06] ajhtiredwolf: what does fdisk -l do? [04:06] is ubuntu alble to work with wireless network cards? [04:06] matthew___, then your cd is bad, or there's something misconfigured in your bios [04:06] ifytbairz: yes [04:06] ifytbairz, yes [04:06] Anyone know what type of interface I am to build in order to use airsnort and madwifi? [04:07] really? how? [04:07] gooody, it will lists the different partitions you have right now [04:07] bogui: atheros [04:07] Seven_Six_Two, i've used sevral CDs, and I have changed the BIOS boot order as much as I can [04:07] gooody, find which partition it is you wnat to mount [04:07] !wireless | ifytbairz (like this :) [04:07] ifytbairz (like this :): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:07] !madwifi | bogui [04:07] bogui: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:07] Oh My God thank you [04:07] nickrud? [04:07] do you know [04:08] Is there a command that will work like arrange icons in windows [04:08] Shaba1 ? > back at yah [04:08] It bascially arranges your icons on your desktop by modification time,type,size e.t.c [04:08] matthew___, so when you put in a live cd and reboot your system, it reads the cd, then moves on to the hd? [04:08] visually on the desktop that is [04:08] Shaba1 nah, arrange by name is all I've ever see [04:08] hmmm [04:08] ok [04:08] damn [04:08] NICE! [04:08] that sucks [04:08] Seven_Six_Two, it seems to, the father down the HD is in the boot order, the longer the little underscore stays there [04:08] Kaffeine is installed, and ran the install_css.sh script, so libdvdcss2 is installed, too. However, Kaffeine will not play dvds - says "encrypted". Evidently, it doesn't recognize libdvdcss. vlc plays fine. Solution? [04:09] Shaba1, the enter button isn't punctuation. Thanks. [04:09] i need an opinion, which is better, nvidia or ati [04:09] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [04:09] matthew___, then there's something wrong with your cd/dvd drive [04:09] princeOfCode: ##hardware [04:10] how can i connect my mobile phone to my computer via bluetooth? [04:10] Thanks Radius__ for leaving a person hanging after telling them the wrong info.... Real Nice... [04:10] Seven_Six_Two, its worked before, i mean, I _did_ install linux [04:10] princeOfCode, the nvidia drivers are better in linux, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the cards. [04:10] Seven_Six_Two: im lookin at some midrange cards for a dual boot desktop [04:10] matthew___, doing it once doesn't mean it'll last forever. I once had a cat. Now I don't [04:11] Seven_Six_Two, thats mean, I like cats :P [04:11] princeOfCode, look on the nvidia site under linux drivers to see what the closed source binary drivers support. [04:12] matthew___, I installed linux too, but both of my dvd drives (or maybe my second ide channel) are now dead. [04:12] Seven_Six_Two linux is known for breaking hardware [04:12] intel 3100 built in works pretty well for me [04:12] Seven_Six_Two, I think i'll just go with the single kernel option [04:13] nickrud, I don't blame linux. They lasted for about 4 years, and I've burned hundreds of disks with each. [04:13] Seven_Six_Two, its just plain old "single" (no quotes) right on the kernel right? [04:13] *kernel command line [04:13] Seven_Six_Two I'd love to troll some more, but I'd have to kick myself ;) [04:13] heh [04:13] Seven_Six_Two: apt-cache show nvidia-glx to see [04:13] matthew___, yeah. you just append it to the end [04:14] Seven_Six_Two, then its restart time for me! [04:14] bye === kat is now known as Guest47806 [04:14] anyone gotten tomcat to work with the apt-get install version? [04:14] wols, is that to show the supported cards? I've never tried that [04:14] bazhang like I said, it takes some of the fun out ;p [04:15] * alpha255 really likes apt-get :) [04:15] I just created a degraded raid 5 array, and have been unable to find in 50 minutes of searching the simple question of how do I now add the last drive back into the array [04:15] I'm using mdadm [04:17] nickrud, haha. I do dsl tech support, so I know that there are other os's that will break just about everything, including itself. On a whim. At a really inopportune time. With no obvious logs or useful error messages (not counting "unknown error 0x80004005" of course!) [04:18] nickrud, :) [04:19] i saw [04:21] Is there a way to filter out the join and leave messages in xchat?

[04:22] Hey how come this ssl-cert package has been being kept back on my server for like a really long time? [04:23] Um... does anyone know is there any way to get ubuntu to recognize a zune as an mp3 player? === khmer42__ is now known as khmer42 [04:24] Xpistos, doesn't it show up as an external drive that you can drag and drop to? [04:24] Seven_Six_Two: Only if it uses USB mass storage I think [04:25] Seven_Six_TWO: nOPE [04:25] stiv2k, I realize that. Most devices like that operate in that manner now. Cameras, usb keys etc. That's a M$ product though [04:26] What is M$ [04:26] Xpistos, do you get any output from dmesg when you plug it in? does lspci -v show it as being detected in any manner? [04:26] Xpistos, Microsoft. [04:26] Oh [04:27] Seven_Six_Two: If the Zune is off, the only thing it does is charge.I don't have anything show up in devices or media either [04:28] hello and Viva España [04:28] Xpistos, try installing libmtp and using amarok [04:28] * m_newton is back (gone 12:48:35) [04:28] wow [04:29] only ubuntu (one dist) has more than 6 million users [04:29] I already have that installed cause I also us a dell dj ditty and that is working, but amarok doesn't recognize it [04:29] I think 7 million users [04:29] 6 million (ubuntu) + millions use other linux distros = a lot [04:29] anyone try installing perl-support.zip for gvim? [04:29] i have hard time install it [04:30] i have no prob on fedora 9 [04:30] orgthingy: I would be that fedora and suse have some really big numbers too [04:30] VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/me/.VirtualBox/WindowsXP.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 1 -mbr winxp.mbr -relative -register why doesn't that create a vmdk file? I installed the closed source [04:30] and added myself to the group [04:31] well, Debian and Debian-based (and debian-based-based) are the most popular distros [04:31] Xpistos, you don't get any output from dmesg when you plug it in with the power on? I read that libmtp will only let you read the zune anyhow. You could always ask M$ to make a linux driver for it. [04:31] lets take distro chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:31] Seven_Six_Two: LOL [04:32] QUESTION: hey, how do i figure out what wireless card I have? Im on Ubuntu Hardy Heron [04:32] mimi lspci [04:32] Seven_Six_Two: Maybe they will also let me take a peak at the source code for the zune too [04:32] Mimi, try lspci -v [04:32] Is there something wrong with the edgy repos? [04:32] Seven_Six_Two, I love when people use M$.... seriously, this is ridiculous... [04:33] Xpistos, I would suggest maybe selling it and getting an iriver [04:33] !ot [04:33] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:33] Xpistos, Ipod works very well with ubuntu [04:33] hello [04:34] Seven_Six_Two: I just fixed it, and i'm talking to you from linux now, although i'm not sure if I actually used the "single" option properly. I ended up with a normal login screen, and I just changed the session to "Failsafe terminal" then removed the module. Was this what was supposed to happen? [04:34] Seven_Six_Two: I looked at a couple but I haven't found one i want. I like the river clix, but not big enough, I want like 30gb, but since i am going open source and buying new I would also want ogg [04:34] is there anyway to install ubuntu without a CD , or with a very small CD that will download the files from the net? [04:34] how do i open rar archives [04:34] Xpistos, you can get it going for first sync under vmware, then sync via wifi after that. [04:34] WalloO: I am not going from one rich Dick to another, but thanks for the suggestion [04:34] !ot | Xpistos Seven_Six_Two on irivers/zune comparisons [04:34] Xpistos Seven_Six_Two on irivers/zune comparisons: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [04:35] matthew_, that sounds right [04:35] ! rar [04:35] thank you [04:35] ubottu: Sorry. I didn't mean to be inappropriate [04:35] Xpistos: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:36] Xpistos, the thing is: the more your system is used the better it is supported under linux... Unfortunately it works like that most of the time.... [04:36] I understand about off topic, but this is related to compatibility with Ubuntu. [04:36] I love it when ubottu does that, it makes everything ver surreal [04:36] *very [04:36] Seven_Six_Two, aye, but straying a bit too far :) [04:36] Seven_Six_Two true, that's why whe have off-topic :) [04:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVbf9tOGwno < wtf? [04:37] oh, wrong channel [04:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611389&page=3 Xpistos [04:37] hi guys [04:37] bazhang, nickrud , I've had this talk before. We can agree to disagree and I'll drop the topic... [04:37] just in the process of installing the server, but had one question (so far). [04:38] Seven_Six_Two it's a fine line sometimes, true [04:38] The partitioning, which I'm doing manually is a little different than I'm used to. [04:39] My question is, do I have to set my /boot partition to actually be bootable for ubuntu? I did set the boot flag to on for my windows partition, but don't usually have to set it when installing linux. [04:39] johnfg no, you don't [04:39] nickrud, I get in trouble at work for straying from "support boundaries" as well. [04:39] nickrud, OK, I thought probably not, but didn't want to commit the table until I had made sure. [04:39] johnfg: The only thing you have to do is make sure (if you're using LVM), /boot is not on LVM. Everything else can be. [04:39] johnfg, ubuntu use grub to boot and do not use the bootable partition system. [04:40] VMDK: could not create new file '/home/me/.VirtualBox/WindowsXP.vmdk' [04:40] Error code VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND at /home/vbox/vbox-1.6.2/src/VBox/Devices/Storage/VmdkHDDCore.cpp(2546) in function int vmdkCreateRawImage(VMDKIMAGE*, VBOXHDDRAW*, uint64_t) [04:40] Seven_Six_Two luckily my support work isn't computers at work, but more a full service type of thing. Don't have to worry about lines there ;) [04:40] OK, sounds like I'd got everything right. Do you think that I'll have any problem if I preserver my /home partition? [04:41] bazhang: I guess so. thanks for the heads up [04:41] johnfg I always preserve the home and carry it over [04:41] preserve. [04:41] wols, zeroing the hard drive (I've disconnected all but one) did not help. [04:41] np [04:41] wols, any other ideas? [04:41] nickrud, For info's sake, what desktop do you run? === emo is now known as Guest70911 [04:41] johnfg gnome, with some configs going back years [04:41] Hey guys where can i get more repositories? Isnt there a tool on the ubuntu site that does this? [04:42] nickrud, OK, cool. I think that's what I'll try then. === Guest70911 is now known as emo_boys [04:42] clintchance, backports or proposed? [04:42] johnfg, you may not have problem [04:42] nickrud, Do you have ubuntu-desktop installed as well? [04:42] Guten Morgen [04:42] johnfg, that's a meta-package [04:42] bazhang... backports? what is [04:42] !backports [04:42] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [04:43] so here is another question: is vmware working in heron? [04:43] johnfg always, makes thinks simpler. Never use evolution, for example, but it just takes up a tiny bit of space. Having ubuntu-desktop installed makes keeping things in sync easier, since the dev's expect it. === emo_boys is now known as _emo [04:43] Xpistos, yes, but vbox may be easier to install and setup [04:43] ID-10-T question: What is a bot? [04:43] Xpistos, a script [04:44] ubottu: Blah blah blah [04:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about blah blah blah [04:44] ubottu: Bleh, bleh bleh [04:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about bleh, bleh bleh [04:44] lol [04:44] Xpistos, /msg ubottu for fun if you wish [04:44] 8.04 is gutsy ?

[04:46] anyone happen to be using Miro and uses At&t ? do you know if AT&T throttles miro downloads? [04:46] where can i get a new list of sources? [04:47] clintchance what do you mean, a new list of sources? [04:47] amenado, seems unlikely as miro uses http [04:47] clintchance: system --> admin --> software sources [04:47] nickrud, ive seen a while back like maby 6.06 that ubuntu website had a sources list generator [04:47] hey how would i go about making a link or shortcut if you will to a game that has to be typed in to the terminal to run? [04:48] clintchance, it is no longer. [04:48] bazhang-> its not http, if you download the client, I honestly dont know what port it uses to downloads [04:48] clintchance ah, that was discontinued after feisty(?) because the one Odd-rationale gave you just above was built into ubuntu [04:48] nickrud, Don't know if you were here earlier when I was discussing this, but would you install server first, then install desktop? That's what I'm planning to do. [04:48] johnfg primarily a desktop? [04:48] amenado, hmm; are you getting really slow downloads? I am for sure not throttled and it can be very slow at times. [04:48] ah [04:48] :) [04:48] Both, pretty equal, I'd say. [04:49] johnfg then I'd install the desktop. [04:49] KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. [04:50] nickrud, And then just install what server components I need/want? [04:50] lamp johnfg [04:50] bazhang it just kills the client rather crashes, and upon looking at the logs, its says too slow ..happens so many times [04:50] johnfg yes.

[05:10] Onebeer apt-get install openssh-server will pull down the server for the machine [05:10] then you'll need to open port 22 in the firewall [05:11] If there is more than 1 user on a box and someone installs the restricted extras (codecs) .. will they work for everyone or only that one person?

[05:18] PsuedoBob: boot flags don't matter, unless you're running DOS [05:18] PsuedoBob man fdisk will give you more info while in a terminal window [05:18] PsuedoBob be careful fdisk can wipe out things too [05:18] Dansguardian is unable to installed ... i am trying a lots of time but it;s not installed [05:18] hello there i'm trying to set up the JAVA_HOME path into the /etc/bash.bashc in order to use startup tomcat-liferay [05:18] ankit: What error does it give you?

And then it didn't do anything. [05:19] PsuedoBob: What do you mean by "doesnt do anything"? [05:19] christoz did you install tomcat via apt-get ?

Grub loader will not find vista, and when i flag the vista partition to boot, it says bootmgr not found. [05:22] With the way he was talking, for a moment I thought people might be playing pass the pipe :\ [05:22] ankit: What? The logo won't be there. Thats only for stuff in main, dansguardian is in universe [05:22] SAS_Spidey01 let me check the logs [05:22] When I installed Empathy it says to add an account I need to install a backend for each protocol i want to use... anyone know how to do this?

So i try to install genisoimage but the Terminal says it's already installed [05:34] I have a very bad problem. I installed ubuntu on a separate partition and had vista installed on another. Grub loader wont find vista, and when I try to set the boot flag for the vista partition, it tells me bootmgr is missing. [05:34] I'm fairly new to this. X server? [05:34] gstreamer but it said it might be illegal? [05:34] Josdell, install mkisofs....it's a standard tool. apt should have it. search for it [05:34] Josdell, why not use genisoimage instead ? [05:35] ZippyP, Ctrl+alt+F1....then ctrl-F7 to get back here [05:35] The legality you're talking about is a civil matter - it involves a licensing issue - it's not a criminal matter. [05:35] christoz got it woking [05:35] fyreme, tell me, what's in your /usr/lib/codecs? [05:35] woking = working [05:35] at least for /me [05:35] ;) [05:36] TheLorax: It might be because i might not have the multiverse repository enabled, i don't i think do.

[05:37] ohaidar: you should just be able to pop in and install the restricted drivers and install wine... as long as the games are wine compatable installing the games is the same as in windows [05:37] christoz i put it in startup.sh [05:37] no such directory [05:37] hmm...in which line please?

[05:38] people. Anyone know ow to add text to the mainmenu on the side like a windows. Although it wont say windows [05:38] alpha255, ok i'm on it thanks for your time [05:38] I have some games installed on my external hard drive like world of warcraft.

[05:39] christoz no worries [05:39] i learned too :) [05:39] yeah [05:39] ls on /usr/lib starts with letter l? [05:39] ohaidar, search wine app databse [05:39] ohaidar, then inside that seach for wow [05:39] im really new to linux, and to be honest i just want to get back to vista, which wont boot because of installing ubuntu. [05:40] ohaidar, what wont it boot? [05:40] ohaidar, no option? [05:40] ohaidar: if you formated vista's parttiion you will have to reisntall if not grub will let you boot both [05:40] yes, grub gives me no option. [05:40] Josdell, genisoimage --cap -o filename.iso /path/to/directory [05:40] unop: how do I use this? [05:40] and i tried making the vista partition the boot partition, and it gives me bootmgr not found [05:41] ohaidar, I think grub is in /boot/grub/grub.conf, edit it then reintstall [05:41] Josdell, at the command line [05:41] wow i dont think anyone has attempted this [05:41] alpha255, did you instert this "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06"? === ritirisi is now known as ritiris === ritiris is now known as ritirisi [05:41] sauvin can you check what directory you put the codecs in?

[05:42] hey the main menu has a blue bar on it there for it should be able to be eddited. Anyone know where i could find the file [05:42] ohaidar, sudo mount /boot [05:42] Josdell, we could but this channel exists so other people can provide input and help you [05:42] looks as if theme set [05:42] having a problem with my / drive filling up after a few hours of running. when i boot my / partion is is only using 6 gigs, now it is 14 gigs. anyreason why this is happening, where the influx of data is located, and why it is being written to my / partion instead of swap? [05:42] fyreme, I DID check, so as not to give you false advise. My /usr/lib/codecs has all kinds of Windows DLL files, which are the codecs mplayer uses for some of the files it can play. [05:42] ohaidar, nano /boot/grub/grub.conf [05:42] christoz export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [05:42] Anyone here using Empathy for their Instant Messaging? [05:42] ok [05:42] hmmm [05:42] ohaidar: you might have erased vista's bootloader [05:42] christoz is has to match the actual path [05:42] ohaidar, but then you're on your own since it's system specific [05:42] in the file system [05:42] why would I have that directory the sauvin? [05:42] unop: the original command is this: sudo mkisofs -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito \ [05:43] unop: how would I change it? [05:43] Gah! My Ubuntu live cd won't let me run ubuntu with changes. [05:43] sinn2df: check and see how big /tmp is and /var [05:43] Fyreme, if you used the Ubuntu repos to download and install Windows codecs, I imagine that's where they would have wound up. [05:43] what was that supposed to do besides reboot? [05:43] i tried booting into my vista install disk and repairing, didnt work. [05:43] alpha255, BRAVO it worked [05:43] Josdell, what kind of iso are you making? or should i ask, what are you making an ISO of? [05:43] christoz sweeeet! :) [05:43] Ubuntu repos sauvin? [05:43] :D [05:43] I am making an ISO of a Live CD [05:43] Er, without changes. [05:44] AH NOT FUNNY its a stupid recurring image..... darn [05:44] so what would be the best course of action to get vista to work then? [05:44] Erm, this IS the Ubuntu channel, yes? (I"m not crosschatting?) [05:44] Josdell, err, it's easier if you install mkisofs. run this command. sudo aptitude install mkisofs [05:44] Jester45: is there a command line way to do that. / is at 100% and cannot open file browser. ls -lh is only giving me the size of 4k for the folders. [05:44] im talking about doing this from ubuntu [05:44] sauvin: he is trying to dual boot linux/vista [05:44] unop: will try [05:45] i have no flipping idea what im doing when using linux [05:45] I thought fyreme was dealing with a wmv/mplayer issue. [05:45] sinn2df: why cant you open a filebrowser? [05:45] Why won't my livecd work?? [05:45] Josdell, genisoimage can do it too, but it's much more complex and it takes much longer reading it's manpage (its fairly long) [05:46] ohaidar the simplest way to get vista back (you said you don't want ubuntu?) is to download and use the super grub disk. [05:46] unop: Oh my gosh I can't believe I didn't think to use aptitude at this situation, thank you so much [05:46] What is up here on this IRC is this hit and run help? Second time someone gives u info then logs off. [05:46] Anyone know why my jy01 direction wont work in xmame, but the buttons will ? [05:46] i try and it will not start. acts like it will but just stops [05:46] sinn2df: du -s -h /var [05:46] unop: joseph@joseph-laptop:~$ mkisofs [05:46] The program 'mkisofs' is currently not installed.

[05:50] unop: can I find the package online? [05:50] guys, what file do i edit to change the main menu icon? [05:51] Train Signal is a cbt video [05:52] The present kernel configuration has modules disabled.Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support. [05:52] Then build a kernel with module support enabled [05:52] Josdell, I assume you can, but it appears that genisoimage is replacing mkisofs on most distributions -- which could mean that mkisofs is fairly old and no longer maintained actively [05:52] how do i enable loadable module support? [05:52] Need some help please with re-installing (nvidia-gtx-new) drivers. Envy does not work due to error in removal of old drivers and screwed the system up. now only 800x600 available [05:53] unop: but technically I could still install mkisofs?

[05:55] fyreme, did mplayer tell you what codec it wanted in order to be able to play it?

But, when i tried to install the gyachi-xmms plugin, the installer say dependencies not satisfiable: xmms. I used synaptic to install xmms, but there are so many xmms variant, which one should i install for gyachi? help for an advise here please === Maarek7 is now known as MaarekStele [06:00] this is the link to the program: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158490 [06:00] newToLinux, xmms but i think xmms has been phased out so it might not be installable [06:00] newToLinux: xmms isn't in the repos. xmms2 is, and there are some other things similar, like audacious [06:00] newToLinux, can't you skip the gyachi-xmms plugin ? [06:01] i´ve installed xmms2 through synaptic and try to install the plugin back, but it still say dependency not satisfiable [06:01] www.pastebin.com? [06:01] newToLinux: thats because to install it you need xmms, which xmms2 isn't. Is there any alternative you can use? [06:01] Oh, gah, there are more pastebins than I care to count. I use pastebin.ca; you may use whatever you like. [06:02] Flannel: i don´t know other way to use? [06:02] newToLinux, did you read what i said up there? xmms is no longer available - so try and skip installing gyachi-xmms [06:02] i need help everytime i start ubuntu i get the busybox [06:02] unop: what does xmms for anyway? [06:02] newToLinux, xmms is a multimedia player - a winamp-like clone for linux [06:02] http://www.pastebin.ca/1058778 [06:03] i just install all the plugins to hope that it will work like yahoo with all it´s feature like voice chat and webcam through ltsp client [06:03] anyone? [06:03] unop: i see, so it´s not a very important plugin then? [06:03] fyreme, you don't have mplayer installed? [06:03] newToLinux: gyachi isn't in the repos. Are you using Ubuntu? [06:03] newToLinux, not very important no [06:03] i need help everytime i start ubuntu i get the busybox anyone?? [06:04] yeah sounds like it [06:04] i´ll try to skip this plugin and run the messenger through ltsp, see if it working alright [06:04] Flannel, he could be installing from source or a binary tarball [06:04] Flannel: yes, i´m using ubuntu [06:04] thought it was installed in synaptic [06:04] ap-get? [06:04] unop: then it wouldn't be complaining about dependenceis in apt [06:04] no, i download the deb package [06:04] hello all. I just installed ubuntu, but for some reason my system boots up as the user ubuntu without prompting for a password. how can I stop this? [06:04] newToLinux: Where did you get gyachi? [06:04] and i just double click on the package [06:04] is there a eb package? [06:05] Flannel, iirc, the error message said nothing about apt [06:05] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158490 [06:05] synaptic is just a front end to apt-get. use synaptic to make sure mplayer is installed, and install this, too: w32codecs [06:05] yes [06:05] fyreme: there´s deb packages for it [06:05] is it illegal in the USA? [06:05] unop: the "dependency not satisfyable: xmms" is an apt/dpkg/gdebi error [06:05] grr, synpatic is not a front end to apt-get, it's a front to apt, as is apt-get [06:06] fyreme: i don´t about usa, i don´t know also about in my country? [06:06] legal for what? [06:06] thanks for the help Jester45, now to just get my router to stop killing my connection [06:06] Flannel, errm, not necessarily, that error message could easily be hardcoded into a ./configure script [06:06] Flannel: the gdebi error? you mean the installer couldn´t read the package?

I just installed it with synaptic [06:08] is this an issue [06:08] sorry I didn't see your pastebin [06:08] fyreme: you didn't install multiverse, you enabled it.

[06:28] !ask | gnax [06:28] gnax: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[06:31] sauvin: the default folders i get when i log in......../home/Music [06:31] http://www.pastebin.ca/1058789 [06:31] adityag, I don't believe changes to that folder will be logged. [06:31] klenz87: you can add the the 3 other drives into a software raid for extra speed (if they are the same speed and storage) [06:31] adityag, what exactly happened tho? and did you check /var/log/auth.log -- maybe you did inadvertently change permissions yourself [06:31] Hi [06:32] Anybody can say ,what is the command for network config [06:32] * sauvin looks [06:32] klenz87: then all 3 will act as 1 larger drive if they arent the same speed or size put them into a LVM, and that will act the same way [06:32] sauvin: its this user's folder and some1 changed its permission only...hows that possible ? [06:32] j41n, try a diff image from background setting? [06:32] PradeepDebata: ifconfig [06:32] ifconfig? [06:32] if I'm trying to use aircrack, madwifi drivers, kismet etc. should i remove nm-applet [06:32] kjo [06:32] adityag, I normally use chmod [06:33] gnax: it allows you to config your interfaces [06:33] fyreme, do you have non-free enabled? [06:33] ? [06:33] jestert45: im pretty sure they are not the same speed nor are they the same size two 40gig one 80gig and two 20gig, one of which holds the os [06:33] yeah i know was responding to pradeep [06:33] Can somebody have the bot refer fyreme to a set of directions to follow for enabling non-free? [06:33] tony810: tried. i can see the wallpaper on startup... just before panel and icons comes. after that, no wallpaper. [06:34] jester45: ok how do i go about making a software raid?? [06:34] sauvin, non-free what tho? [06:34] Jester45: that is for looking at ip and mask [06:34] unop: w32codecs. [06:34] Jester45: to no effect! [06:34] sauvin: unop:: i used chown now to revoke the permission [06:34] !w32codecs | fyreme [06:34] fyreme: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:34] hello, do i use primary or logical partition for the swap partition? [06:34] Jester45: like in rhel we hav netconfig and sysconfig [06:34] fooks: could you pastebin the error then [06:35] sauvin: unop: now anyway i can find out changed the permission for that folder ? [06:35] adityag, have you checked your own bash history file to see if you changed permissions by mistake? [06:35] lainy: you can use either or neither :) you can use a swapfile if you want [06:35] what is a repository? [06:35] /msg NickServ identify fedora [06:35] Jester45: what is the most common option? [06:36] !repository [06:36] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[06:36] adityag, one other possibility is that the filesystem that your /home directory resides on is corrupted - which can have strange effects on permissions and ownership [06:36] lol Ntemis you had a space infront of your / [06:36] i read that "swap should be a logical partition" is that correct? [06:36] i cannot make a voice call on pidgin over yahoo messenger [06:36] unop: i have never played around with the folder Music ever....... [06:36] Ntemis: we all saw your password [06:36] is it possible? [06:36] j41n, might try changing themes [06:36] so? [06:36] am an old user dude [06:36] before ubuntu [06:37] Ntemis: so what... me 2 [06:37] w32codecs command not found [06:37] that time that distro was the shining one [06:37] so i used that name for my pass [06:37] fyreme: you install w32codecs and mplayer will use it you dont have to run the command [06:37] adityag, strange things happen sometimes, and you might not have intentionally gone out of your way to cause things, they can happen by mistake or inadvertently [06:37] wait, i can install ubuntu (root / mount point) in an extended/ logical partition?? [06:37] In fact, w32codecs is NOT a command. [06:38] so is it able to use voice chat for yahoo messenger on pidgin [06:38] lainy any,either [06:38] lainy, yes [06:38] thanks [06:38] unop: possibility of virus attack ? [06:38] lainy as far as I'm aware, if it's a partition, you can install linux init. [06:38] ok [06:38] lainy, and swap is not restricted to a logical/extended partition either [06:38] unop: great, thanks [06:38] Ntemis: i think peeps are trying to tell u that someon could mess with ur irc nick... [06:39] *someone [06:39] i installed postfix, how do i enable it ? [06:39] adityag, hmm, the chances of that are very very slim, i would say it is almost unlikely, though i wouldn't rule it out absolutely [06:39] what are like the best programs for ubuntu? [06:39] Zigtown_, you're the only one who can answer that question. [06:39] Zigtown_, try them and see! [06:39] Zigtown_, that sounds like a poll and should be taken to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:40] makes sens [06:40] Zigtown_ the help menu item has a description of what some thought were 'best' and added to the default ubuntu install [06:40] HARDY has FIREFOX BETA :'( (is there an easy update to the FINAL RELEASE :-D of 3.0 ?) thank you unop and ubottu [06:40] my desktop is not showing the wallpaper (hardy). nothing happens when i set wallpaper using gnome-appearance-properties. gnome-appearance-properties is not showing any error messages when i tried running it from terminal.

[06:59] adityag, sendmail requires you use it in this way. sendmail user@domain.org # then type your message out, when you have finished place a . on it's own line and hit RETURN [06:59] * sauvin reads !/.xine/config [06:59] Jester45>it actually depends on how u install java [06:59] i have already deleted .xine folder from my home directory but the problem persists [07:00] thanks again sauvin and jester45 [07:00] help me [07:00] Jester45>it is always better to home urself [07:00] rambo124: he said he wanted to set it and thats how you set it [07:00] yall have a great night [07:00] fyreme: np and you 2 [07:01] unop: ok wait [07:01] jester45>oh i got disconnected and missed some messages [07:02] aRahim, you may want to put that .xine directory back. [07:02] unop: wait i'll try [07:02] why? [07:02] aRahim, I found the following in my .xine/config: "audio.volume.mixer_volume:100" [07:02] sauvin, but i have deleted it [07:02] sauvin, ok [07:02] Okay ppl [07:03] got it, my java home iexport JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [07:03] aRahim: into trash or a real delete [07:03] export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [07:03] hi adityag [07:03] from India? [07:03] Pune? [07:03] !enter [07:03] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:03] aRahim, xine has the following command line option: --session volume=100 [07:04] my ubuntu livecd won't boot: it hangs without error during the install process around the time it initializes either my harddisks or my usb devices. What should I do? [07:04] ppl [07:04] sauvin, restore volume level at startup [07:04] # bool, default: 0 [07:04] #audio.volume.remember_volume:0 [07:04] unop: i guess it require something more as an input.........its still waiting for something [07:04] source ~/.bashrc does not work in ubuntu... you have to close and start new bash [07:04] mebaran151 try disconnecting them [07:04] rubydiamond: i am from mumbai... [07:04] aRahim, you can change that, if you like :) [07:05] koshari, but dont' I need a keyboard? [07:05] sauvin, which line? [07:05] adityag, okay fine [07:05] and the harddisks are just regular sata [07:05] adityag, when you have finished typing the message, place a . on a line of it's own and hit enter or press CTRL+D [07:05] I'm considering creating a kernel of my own to see if it'll solve a driver issue I have, any known issues with taking the latest 2.6.25 and using the .config from ubuntu stock kernel and doing "make oldconfig" and then do the regular create-kernel-package (only done it in debian before) [07:05] aRahim: the "remember volume" line looks like a boolean. Try changing =0 to =1 [07:05] sauvin, yes [07:06] i think its better to set JAVA_HOME in /etc/envoironment file for IDE can see it [07:06] sauvin, should i chabge this line too audio.volume.remember_volume:0 [07:06] aRahim, that's the line I was talking about. [07:06] rambo123, but that affects all users, something which isn't recommended in the unix world if you can help it by doing it in your own environment [07:07] rambo123, and ~/profile or ~/.bashrc were created for just this purpose === princeOfCode is now known as [ [07:07] unop>all users on one envoironment are recommended to work on same jvm === [ is now known as [0| [07:08] rambo123, not at all... you can have multiple virtual machines installed, there's no stopping you from doing that [07:09] hello i just tried to connect to a wireless network then the network maanger icon on my panel disappeared. what should i do? [07:09] unop: i entered a . then a enter then Ctrl+D ....... [07:09] hello everyone, do you now how to mount a U3 USB stick on ubuntu ? [07:10] unop: it was successful but i dint receive the mail [07:11] sauvin, Thanks a lot. It works [07:12] You're very welcome. [07:12] sauvin, also i chabged this line #audio.volume.mixer_volume:90 [07:13] aRahim, yea, that looks reasonable. [07:13] how do i get my network manager icon back on the panel? it just disappeared [07:13] i logged out and logged back in and it's still not there. [07:13] aRahim, I never knew any of this; you made me go look. Now I know how to fix a minor annoyance *I* have with Xine :D [07:13] adityag, run the mail command, see if you got any "Mail Delivery" errors [07:15] unop: its asking me to install mailx........command not found! [07:16] sauvin, hehehe, i myself is a newbie with conf files :D [07:16] unop: should i pastebin mail.info ? [07:16] adityag, if you feel it has information that could help in troubleshooting, sure [07:16] unop: i received the mail.......successful [07:17] Hi there. When I change resolutions in ubuntu (using the ubuntu screen resolution tool) it gives me a 20 second confirmation time. Can I change the 20 seconds to a smaller number? [07:17] unop: but i dint receive the text what i wrote in there [07:18] aRahim, I'm not a n00b with config files, but every major application will have unique requirements for its configs. [07:18] <|v|4s7e|2> pist0l-fish, can i ask y? [07:18] adityag, sounds good, maybe you didn't format the text properly when typing the message - but that's not important, what's important is that sendmail is able to send mail properly [07:19] |v|4s7e|2: It just would make things easier, I'm trying to fiddle with some stuff at the moment [07:19] unop: right.. [07:19] adityag, try your php script again -- if it doesn't successfully send mail, you might want to see how to debug the script [07:19] neone in here use medibuntu? [07:19] <|v|4s7e|2> pist0l-fish, i believe so, gimmie a sec [07:19] don't want to use randr and i'm changing some stuff in xorg.conf and i don't want to run into to much trouble [07:20] unop: ok ,thanks , brb [07:20] adityag, also, you might want to check the spam/junk mail folder on your remote destination - maybe the php script isn't placing the right FROM address or SUBJECT line and some mail daemons consider mails that don't have these to be junk [07:22] unop: ok....how do i set the right FROM field in the sendmail cmd ? [07:22] neone help me with some info on medibuntu??

[07:47] I'm trying to do a netinstall from a USB stick. However, I have run into several problems. I believe that the heart of the problem is that the net installer is confusing the USB stick and the primary hard drive. [07:48] <|v|4s7e|2> |v|4s7e|2: ??, i just need it so ubuntu soesn't ask me for a pasword when performing administrative tasks [07:48] <|v|4s7e|2> fyrestrtr: ??, i just need it so ubuntu soesn't ask me for a pasword when performing administrative tasks [07:48] During the step "download installer components" I get the error "apt-mirror-setup failed for unknown reasons". I can't find anything about this on the google. I have a feeling it's trying to download the components to the stick and running out of space [07:48] is there anyway I can confirm this? [07:48] Does the Ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD include enough utilities to do some hardware diagnosis for a possibly dead computer? [07:48] |v|4s7e|2: oh for that -- you need to edit the sudoers file with visudo [07:48] hi, i've install virtualbox but i can't make bridge networking between host and guest os, host says brctl command not found. someone help me pls.. [07:49] baegle: could just be a net problem. [07:49] <|v|4s7e|2> fyrestrtr: i got that far but i cant figure out how to save changes with visudo [07:49] TeslaTony: If your internet access works on the livecd, you can use apt-get and expand it as much as you need (within the constraints of the ram drive). Otherwise, I don't know. [07:49] fyrestrtr: everything else appears to download fine [07:49] |v|4s7e|2: esc, then :wq [07:49] esc = escape key [07:49] fyrestrtr: also, I've run into this problem multiple times over many days. What possible net problem would I be having? [07:49] <|v|4s7e|2> ok, ill try that, whats :wq? [07:50] : = command mode w = write q = quit [07:50] baegle: mirrors could be down, bad sigs, etc. [07:50] <|v|4s7e|2> ok, thx [07:50] @btlogin [07:50] baegle: you could just run it from the shell and see what you get. [07:51] fyrestrtr: run what? [07:51] baegle: apt-mirror-setup [07:51] Hi everyone, I just want to ask why would remastersys fail at sudo remastersys dist [07:51] <|v|4s7e|2> fyrestrtr: many thx, it worked [07:52] Hi. I am making a php upload script. I want to filter out any harmful extensions. Are there any extensions that can be indeed harmful for linux ? [07:52] <|v|4s7e|2> JaysonK: .666 [07:52] fyrestrtr: apt-mirror-setup doesn't appear to be a valid command [07:52] "extensions"? [07:52] JaysonK: extensions don't mean anything in Linux [07:52] JayDee: extensions are meaningless in linux when you are talking about the shell. A file could have an extension .txt and it could be a rootkit [07:53] They DO, but only to some applications, and the smarter ones use filemagic when in doubt. [07:53] JayDee: extensions -- or rather, the act of executing a default action on a particular extension, is a feature of the GUI. [07:53] <|v|4s7e|2> question, whats a loopback interface [07:53] your localhost [07:54] * sauvin notes that the ls command uses extensions and filetype to determine how to colourise a listing [07:54] your own comp [07:54] |v|4s7e|2: a network interface that points to the same machine that is hosting it, creating a loop. localhost, 127.0.0.1 etc. [07:54] |v|4s7e|2, in terms of networking, it's an interface that points back to itself, so if you send something down it, the data returns back to you [07:54] <|v|4s7e|2> offline: as in 127.0.0.1, localhost, etc.? [07:54] <|v|4s7e|2> ok cool [07:54] |v|4s7e|: yup [07:55] * fyrestrtr waits for opensuse to download [07:55] My other question then, what mime types are harmful for linux? [07:55] |v|4s7e|2, yes. It's often used during development to test intermediate programs. [07:55] JaysonK: none =) Its the permissions. [07:55] JaysonK, none, all, depends really [07:55] JaysonK, what are you thinking of when you say "harmful"? [07:55] meaning that can contain malicious code, for example code that 'deletes' something [07:55] * sauvin is thinking JaysonK has way too much Windows experience [07:56] JaysonK: in linux, its all about the permissions on a node, not the file (or directory, or device) that is actually there. [07:56] JaysonK: code that deletes something -- is useless if you cannot execute it. [07:56] fyrestrtr: hm, so hardlinks have all the same permissions? :P [07:56] JaysonK: the security is in the permissions and sandboxing. [07:57] JaysonK, what fyrestrtr is saying is related to why apache and suchlike are usually run as normal users; even if they get trashed, they can only trash their own workspaces and (theoretically) can't trash anybody else's, or linux itself. [07:57] Chousuke: no? [07:57] fyrestrtr: well then I probably misunderstood you [07:57] ok then thanks, seems that I wont be filtering any extensions/mime types then [07:58] JaysonK: you should do that anyway. [07:58] <|v|4s7e|2> how would i stream audio over my local network?? [07:58] fyrestrtr: you didn't mean "inode" with your "node" then? [07:58] well extensions are pretty much useless, maybe filter some mime types, but which ones fyrestrtr [07:58] JaysonK: chances are wherever you are uploading it to, has the permission of '777' (a very bad idea). So whatever is uploaded there, will be executable if its accessed. [07:58] JaysonK: there's no need to filter mime types. [07:58] Chousuke: no, I meant a node in a tree, as in the directory tree. [07:58] right. [07:59] JaysonK: in other words, if someone uploads a file with the extension .php, and then browses that file (assuming your save location is in the web root), then whatever code is there will execute. [07:59] if you accept user uploads you must be *very* careful [08:00] JaysonK, what are you filtering? email attachments, file uploads to servers, etc ? [08:00] JaysonK: so, to prevent that -- fix the permissions on the directory, use a permissions mask, or store the stuff outside your web root so its not accessible from a user agent. [08:00] is there anyway to configure LVM on a specific partition and not on the entire disk? [08:00] you should set permissions to 644 at most [08:00] <|v|4s7e|2> whats icecast? [08:00] ok, will modify permission to 644 upon upload [08:00] |v|4s7e|2: audio streaming server [08:01] <|v|4s7e|2> |v|4s7e|2: good, im tryin to stream audio over my local network [08:01] JaysonK: that means rw-r--r-- btw [08:01] php's chmod uses octal [08:01] you might also want just 444 or even 400 [08:01] so 0644 for me [08:01] thanks for the help then [08:01] My HDD is divided into three partitions: one NTFS, one FAT32, and one ext3. How can I get these partitions to mount when the machine starts up or, alternatively, when I log in? [08:02] still no good solution to the Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG driver issue?

[08:11] Kidfork, use gparted [08:12] Kidfork, it works a bit like partition magic on windows [08:12] dushy: No, you've opened a run dialog. Nautilus is the file browser [08:12] unop: i am but how do i actualy create one [08:12] dushy: You could then run nautilus with alt-f2, if that's what you're saying [08:12] how do you manually poll for an ip from the router? I ran ifconfig up but still have no ip [08:12] well now where to find nautilus. if not from alt + f2?

[08:21] how to i use sudo [08:21] offline: i installed b43-fwcutter though [08:22] gooody, no - you'll need to use lsb_release -a to find out whether you are on a 32bit or 64bit install [08:22] nad, sudo command_you_want_to_run [08:22] nad, you have too may questions that are available on the help doc. please read it... help.ubuntu.com [08:22] !virus [08:22] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [08:22] !antivirus [08:22] lainy: go to system>administration>synaptic package manager and search for ndiswrapper [08:22] antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients.

System tools is created for opening vmware. but mine is currupt and cannot be opened. so i need to delete [08:22] nad: Are you already familiar with the terminal? [08:23] dushy: just re-install it. [08:23] offline: you're right it's not installed. is it on the install cd? because the computer doesn't have a wired connection [08:23] does anyone know if linux AV software can scan my windows drives? have some viruses on windows i need to get rid of [08:23] dushy: You installed VMWare from a package, correct? Use synaptic, and remove the package completely (complete removal). That should fix both of those issues [08:23] Rayyan, the linux AV will not remove virus, it will just scan [08:23] fyrestrtr. tried to install 3 times but its useless.. [08:23] lainy: nope.. u need a repo dvd i think [08:24] ryantmer: Clamav should be able to. [08:24] <__ryan__> the preferred torrent program for ubuntu would be ?

[08:24] my ubuntu often switches to Visual Effect None: from Extra: [08:24] dushy: from the terminal, type sudo apt-get remove --purge vmware [08:25] dushy, just run the vmware uninstall script.. there is a vmware uninstall script (I am not sure of the path now) [08:25] is that caused by Video card or CPU [08:25] ?

[08:32] also, i'm from the debian world, so what is the ubuntu equivalent of "unstable" [08:32] ottoshmidt, ^ [08:32] joaopinto: i could locate the menus. but i could see the icons alone. the icons reside at applications > system tools > vmware. if i delte vwmare will my system tools get deleted too? [08:33] mhall, on ubuntu you only have current and development, the development is intrepid, you can ask about it on #ubuntu+1 [08:33] mhall: There is none. Ubuntu releases a new release every six months, those package versions that were released, stay with that release (except for bugfixes and security updates). And then the next versions development starts. [08:33] dushy, every menu entry is provided by a .desktop on /usr/share/applications, you just need to find it and remove [08:34] Mercuree, CPU 2.26,RAM 1 GB, VGA 256 mb [08:34] mhall: You get new versions of software by upgrading versions. Of course, there are exceptions, but thats a pretty decent summary. [08:34] joaopinto: i removed the icons. let me see if i can search for system tools too :) [08:34] heh thats odd. pretty much the same specs as me and I have no probs. Have you tried different browsers?

I ended up reinstalling again but that was due to a fault on my behald [08:44] behalf* [08:44] gordonjcp: ok thanks :) does it possible to duplicate the HDD (the ubuntu system) to new computer via network ? if yes what is the best way of doing that ?

[08:46] anyone here from philippines? [08:47] alright, I'm completely lost as to what has happened. Installed Ubuntu from USB stick. Told it to use the hard drive for / and /home and swap/, it looks like Grub was installed on the USB stick and NOT the HDD, I can't boot from the hard drive. However, I can boot from the USB stick and it mounts the HDD in / and /home as specified [08:47] however, it appears varrun, varlock, udev, devshm, and lrm are all on the USB stick [08:48] How in the heck can I begin recovering this so that my HDD is bootable? [08:48] Mercuree: i got 4 new computers , and i would like to to duplicate my own computer with ubuntu to the 4 new computers from the network does it possible ? [08:48] kate_mins, if you have enough space on one of them you could use partimage [08:51] joaopinto: does partimage support network ? so i can make image of the system and duplicate to new computer via network [08:51] sorry if this is the wrong channel but could someone tell me how much space wine uses, and secondly, whether i should install the latest wine from winehq repo or an older version from the ubuntu repo? thanks. [08:51] ? [08:51] hey anyone know of a good way to install server edition on a 1U server that has no cdrom? [08:52] kate_mins, well, you can setup your initial install as a server, and then you can restore from it, using the network [08:52] coagent, net install ? [08:52] ops, no cdrom [08:52] net install from usb [08:53] pxe [08:55] Regarding Epiphany: is it possible to set it so that links open in new tabs rather than new window?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [09:02] so, I was told that Ubuntu has some installation problems with modern motherboards? Something about the controller on my Asus not allowing it to recognize my IDE opticals. The short of it is, I can't use the CDs (normal or alternate) for anything. === bug is now known as buggy1986 [09:02] I was told to go buy a USB optical drive and install from there, but I think that's kind of ridiculous that I should have to go buy new, useless-after-the-fact hardware to do the install, so I tried to install from a USB stick [09:03] unfortunately, the USB stick is being read as HD0 during installation, while the target drive is being read as HD1. So when the grub installation step happens, it automatically installs on HD0 because it's apparently hardcoded. I can't figure out how to change that. [09:04] Now, I can only boot into my HDD installation if my USB stick is in at power-on and my bios is set to boot from it. I'm at my ropes end here. [09:04] can anyone help me resolve this? === olivier is now known as sooli [09:05] hi :) [09:05] urm sorry to interupt beagle.. i'm new to using ubuntu dapper here.. somehow the file browser doesnt letme create new files or move files.. i have to use the terminal!, but.. is there a way to do it GUI-ly?

I've had a fairly successful install.. however my sound isn't working :/.. It seems to favour my onboard sound instead of the audigy card I have the speakers plugged into [09:06] Hi [09:07] DJones: Yes on the first one. And several other ones that I needed to combine advice from in order to get it to work at all. I don't believe that the second link is relevant to me. [09:09] DJones: I have a hunch that the problem is that my mobo recognizes my USB stick as a hard drive, and then in order to boot from it I have to set the boot order to put the USB stick before the HDD. This appears to have the effect of making the USB stick HD0, which is where the installer seems to be hardcoded to install grub into the MBR. [09:09] A little help with posstfix? I'm sending mail from a machine and I've figured out how to rewrite the email, but how do I rewrite the "name"? As it is now the emails are sent from 'apache right.email@right.domain' [09:09] I get all the files I need in /boot placed onto the HDD, but the HDD has no boot loader when I attempt to boot from it. [09:09] /server irc.blufudge.com [09:10] baegle: Ok, I was just wondering if you'd done something unusual in the installation, if ubuntu has installed on hd1 as you wanted, but its only put grub on hd0 (the usb drive), the only suggestion I can think of is to reinstall grub (but I've not done it myself so you'd need to ask somebody else in the channel for advice on that), maybe using a supergrub disk/usb install, that might solve the problem, sorry I can't suggest anything more than that tho [09:11] question: how do i get the bouncing cows screensaver back?

(in my case Hercules Classic) [10:12] Flannel: ah touche [10:12] wols: i think it's the generic [10:12] Unislash: ntfs-utils changes labels. and you were asking how to make G:\ to be C:\. that's not naming [10:13] Flannel:you means that i must use comand line? [10:13] equiv: define "generic" [10:13] and at the time, i didn't even know that ubuntu didn't use drive letters [10:13] wols, once again, lay off. you're off that case, you're not to mention it again. [10:13] DaLiang: Sort of. Its the grub program for some of it, not the cmmand line (although you do type into it) [10:13] Okay I used diskmounter to setup automount for my external hard drive. When I right click the drive and go to properties to try to share it, there is no share tab and it says permissions can't be identified. What does this mean and how can I fix it? [10:13] wols: how do i chek witch driver i have? [10:13] Unislash: now you know. and now you can ask ##windows about this problem. if you have problems getting grub back as a bootloader we're happy to help [10:13] my network doesn't connect at boottime anymore, seems like a dhclient error/bug of some kind. http://paste.ubuntu.com/23903/ (everything from minute 10:53 onward is me doing sudo dhclient manually, which works just fine) i'm using ubuntu hardy 2.6.24-19-generic, the problem is on my regular network card which has worked flawless for ages, and it started some 3-4 days ago, i suspect due to some update installed [10:14] will do. next time don't be so damn sharp please :) [10:14] Flannel: thank you i will learn it myself [10:14] for dual boot, you must use grub (ie linux primary partition) [10:14] DaLiang: That page explains it extremely well. You shouldn't have any guess work [10:14] just installed 8.04 and my resolution doesn't want to set higher than 800*600 and I can't get the cloned screen thing to work. someone pls help [10:15] you must find the right modeline [10:15] in xorg.conf [10:16] Flannel:i think i read in chinese,and that too complate,so i try read in english [10:16] Does anyone know why the linux-source package reports 2.6.24.3 as version, instead of 2.6.24-19 as stated in kernel-version? [10:16] DaLiang: #ubuntu-cn might be able to help you in Chinese if that is easier for you [10:17] ciao a tutti chi mi può aiutare ad installare i drivers NVIDIA?

[10:18] freewilly: were you speaking to me [10:18] yes' [10:18] Hi all [10:18] I tried to put Xen on my Ubuntu 8.04 server, but it seems to have broken the install [10:18] freewilly: what do you mean [10:18] I did aptitude install ubuntu-server-xen and rebooted [10:19] if you have probs w screen resolution etc, you have to find the right "modeline" in xorg.conf [10:19] the kernel loaded, but the machine is so slow, I can hardly log in [10:19] Any ideas? [10:19] I really need Xen on that machine. [10:19] Okay I used diskmounter to setup automount for my external hard drive. When I right click the drive and go to properties to try to share it, there is no share tab and it says permissions can't be identified. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

[10:21] Cyrus25801: see instead if you can configure your monitor through gksudo displayconfig-gtk [10:22] that would be the easiest [10:22] maddoc: you might try #ubuntu-kernel [10:22] if it works for you [10:22] hello [10:22] my network doesn't connect at boottime anymore, seems like a dhclient error/bug of some kind. http://paste.ubuntu.com/23903/ (everything from minute 10:53 onward is me doing sudo dhclient manually, which works just fine) i'm using ubuntu hardy 2.6.24-19-generic, the problem is on my regular network card which has worked flawless for ages, and it started some 3-4 days ago, i suspect due to some update installed. Anyone? Seems like the [10:22] error is mainly due to the old pid, thought i wonder why there would be an old pid at boot-time [10:23] Ok, ive just figured out that so far in two of my, the sprites in the game are not appearing, could someone please tell me what i can do about this?

How do I have to modify my /etc/apt/sources.list on an Edgy machine to be able to install packages? "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy main" says 404.

[10:46] is there a ubuntu-ish way to set Hyper-D as a shortcut to showing the desktop, a la Windows? [10:46] jagggy: you need to look for "shortcuts" [10:46] Silverzrishi, you type a part of the name and press tab [10:46] Silverzrishi: tab completeion [10:46] Silverzrishi: or tab completion, perhaps [10:46] ic [10:46] haha, didn't know that, thanks [10:47] icewaterman: [10:47] user__, and where do i find 'em? [10:47] jagggy: That's not a linux task. But there are shortcuts available in nearly every Desktop Environment, like GNOME, for example. [10:47] like [10:47] soundray: thanx man [10:47] vlt and where do i edit em [10:47] press jag then press tab and i will become jaggy?

[10:48] vlt, gnome [10:48] i use it because windows is too expensive and soon they are not going to support windows xp anymore [10:49] see ubottu's PM [10:49] Silverzrishi: You might be better asking that question in #ubuntu-offtopic so that support questions don't get lost, thats the best channel for chatting about ubuntu [10:49] Dan_: wireless can occasionally be difficult. The other things will probably work without any problems. [10:49] soundray: still there? if so, the command you gave me opened the screen and graphics editor which just gives me a configuration error anytime i try and run the 'Test' [10:49] ubuntu is cool [10:50] you guys don't get it, i mean, like in fluxbox you can create your own shortcuts, can i do that in gnome or not? [10:50] windows is crap used by housewives [10:50] how can I start apache in apache's console mode in ubuntu?

Wifi needs drivers, so you better google your hardware first ;) [10:50] soundray, cheers - I've been reading up and I've found several drivers for my Wireless Cards that I have any way. [10:50] I'm using the system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts, and I have found the action I want to assign to a key (hide all windows and focus desktop) -- however, it isn't recognizing Super-D as a key combination. I gives up and thinks I just want Super (L) to be the key, which is dumb. [10:51] jagggy: Did you read the PM? [10:51] toru that never worked [10:51] ye vlt but it's not that what i ment [10:51] error [10:51] administrator_: did you install xubuntu-desktop and all its dependencies? [10:51] Another thing, can you access what's already on the Hard Drive (music, etc) or will it be like installing a New OS (which it is) and unable to do so ?

[11:12] enouf: The du command prints 6392 versus 14432 kB size. The first level of subdirectries is identical. Many files in the former are in compressed (extension .gz) form while they are in expanded form in the latter. So the documentation is not so much different as you seem to suggest. [11:13] bullgard4: so use zless on the gz files to inspect them, also see if there are symlinks in each dir, pointing either to the other, or somewhere else [11:14] I have a linksys network adapter, found if Itype 'lsusb'. Nevertheless it's not in the networklist. Anyone knows how I can fix this? [11:14] Does this channel have a bot that one could query for iwlwifi information? [11:14] i tried ubottu, but it doesn't know anything [11:15] or my queries sucked [11:15] i tried to update my gcc [11:15] hi all [11:15] but that did not work [11:15] my gcc is still not working [11:15] How can I strip my Desktop to a Server configuration?

[11:15] yeah [11:16] enouf: I don't think that there another Bot here active at the moment. [11:16] bullgard4: i tried in PM many things related [11:16] <[edge]> what version of gcc you have [11:16] bullgard4: ok [11:17] enouf: Do you mind that I use the mc reader instead of zcat? [11:17] Is there any meta package I can apt-get remove to ged rid of gnome,X,openoffice etc.? [11:17] bullgard4: not at all [11:17] there is a sudo line that will update it [11:18] does zone alarm good ? [11:18] i have asked here before just can't remember the line [11:18] bullgard4: or .. you could just gunzip the whole lot of them and then compare, once you see if any symlinks exist [11:18] hello [11:18] I cannot share my files [11:19] <[edge]> madmn, sudo aptitude [11:19] bullgard4: zcat is equivalent to 'gunzip -d' so when you use it, it makes a copy and decompresses that copy [11:19] this is the error I get: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares.

[11:26] microwaver: its the only way there is no native solution for any blizzard games [11:26] gaminggeek, good performance under wine? [11:27] microwaver: that all depends on your system [11:27] I'm gonna assume its a reasonably modern one [11:27] the performance hit should be negligible [11:27] help me!!! [11:28] how can I access my shared files from another computer? [11:28] Alrem: whats your issue? === Lamego_ is now known as joaopinto [11:28] gaminggeek, it's onmy laptop, but since diablo2 itself is quite the old game I thought my vostro 1000 can handle it [11:29] <[edge]> Alrem, what's happen?

Yeah, will check wednesday eve :) [11:29] kaliMastah install gnomebaker [11:29] user__: ubuntu [11:30] I have 2 user. First use en_us and ru_ru keyboard. Second - en_us and ukrainian. But Gnome don't save individual settings and use xorg.conf. [11:30] I have to use sudo to do all create/modify commands [11:30] user__: they are connected to the same router [11:30] hi here. I'd like to set up a customized splash screen on an eeepc 701, and, as the native resolution is 800x480, I tried using 915resolution, so it seems to support this resolution (hwinfo --framebuffer tells modes with 800x480), but when I try to set it in grub (menu.lst) grub complains that the mode is not supported. may I miss something ? [11:30] koshari: i am burning a new version of ubuntu...does gnomebaker do the trick? [11:30] how can I give permission to my self to use the GUI for that ? [11:30] hello. is there a chan for 8.10 alpha? [11:30] dv_: ubuntu+1 [11:31] kaliMastah if your just burnung an iso its prolly possable from default, [11:31] SliMM, thanks [11:31] you mean i use the nautilius to burn the iso? [11:31] SliMM: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto#Mounting%20directories%20using%20sshfs [11:31] user__: any ideas? [11:31] kaliMastah yes [11:31] user__: thanks [11:31] oh ok [11:32] ok ill try it when my black cd arrive [11:32] blank [11:32] do i have to mount it koshari? [11:32] Quick question, can anyone refer me to a HOWTO on configuring 8.04 to set my hardware clock (the hour, specifically) to the time in my time zone rather than UTC? I dual-boot into Windows and it's getting annoying to have to manually re-sync the clock in order to make scheduling work. [11:33] i know how to mount.... mount -o 'isoname' /media/cdimage/ [11:34] hey?! [11:34] Hi, I got a problem with grub, I recompiled a own kernel and surprisingly it didnt work, but what it did is it remove my other kernel from the list, how do I get the old kernel back in the list? [11:35] user__: I use samba... [11:35] <[edge]> lejonet, use livecd to restore your grub [11:35] edge do I have to restore grub? Okay, will do that [11:35] enouf: How to use the command 'sudo gunzip *.gz'? "detlef@MD97600:/usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation$ sudo -r gunzip *.gz; sudo: illegal option `-r'; usage: sudo -h | -K | -k | -L | -l | -V | -v..." [11:36] SliMM: just for background info: you connect ubuntu to ubuntu? [11:36] <[edge]> lejonet, you can mount your partition from livecd and edit menu.lst [11:36] enouf: recursively [11:36] user__: yes [11:37] edge okay, but my partitions are encrypted, it will just prompt for the passphrase and let me mount it? [11:37] bullgard4: no, one sec .. show me what's in the dir [11:37] Hello. I am manually partitioning my HD from Ubuntu install. I am installing Ubuntu for dual-boot with Windows. The Windows partition is currently taking the whole HD. Is it safe to resize the partition from the usual "edit partition" button from this partitioning system of Ubuntu install, and set the partition size to smaller than it currently is, without destroying any previous data on the partition? [11:37] SliMM: hmm, i would recommend ssh for that, samba though is !samba [11:37] henux, unless youve filled up ur whole windows partition, its safe to resize it and shrink it [11:38] Ok thank for this kind answer. [11:38] user__: so, how can I setup ssh on both computers? [11:38] bullgard4: gunzip -dr /path/to/top/dir [11:38] The partition has 28 gigs of data, and I am resizing it to 50 gigs... Good to go! [11:38] SliMM: its described in the url i gave you [11:38] bullgard4: add c to show you output - so -dcr [11:38] enouf: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/380361/ [11:38] user__: ok, thanks [11:39] henux yeah, it should be good to go, seeing as they remove from the end of the partition, where you dont have files put at yet [11:39] bullgard4: there are NO gz files there [11:39] <|v|4s7e|2> neone here have experience with icecast [11:39] SliMM: for a start you could also read in wikipedia about ssh to get a better understanding [11:39] lejonet: What about in the case if the partition is defragmented and some parts of some files might be in the end of it? [11:39] enouf: But in the subdirectories. [11:39] bullgard4: and always show me ls -l output, not ls [11:39] bullgard4: so, show me [11:40] user__: ok, and for a general LAN what should I use? [11:40] lejonet: Is this system intelligent enought not to overwrite anything silly? [11:40] ls -l /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/* [11:40] <[edge]> lejonet, try this manual: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Cryptoloop-HOWTO/mounting-filesystem.html ? [11:40] SliMM: what is a general lan? mixed windows and ubuntu clients? [11:40] bullgard4: from your output, i can't even tell which are dirs [11:40] Whats the command to findout where a usb is before its mounted in /dev ? [11:40] bullgard4: ls -l /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/* <-- in case you missed it [11:41] henux, defragmentation is not a problem unless you got a fat32 disk, seeing as defragmentation is a memory long gone with NTFS (not entirely true, but true enough) [11:41] user__: yes, via a router [11:41] enouf: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/380362/ [11:41] edge okay, thanks [11:41] user__: some wireless clients as well [11:41] lejonet: NTFS gets EXTREMELY fragmented [11:42] SliMM: it doesnt matter if wireless or not, windows and linux mixed? [11:42] user__: yes [11:42] enouf, Never have in my experience, because defragmentation hardly helps on ntfs systems, where as on fat/fat32 systems it can give 10% more space in ntfs that one is <1% [11:42] bullgard4: that's not the command i asked you to run .. or are you just a little late seeing and doing what i asked?? .. i mean [11:42] SliMM: ok, samba then. more info: !samba [11:42] !apt-zip [11:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-zip [11:42] enouf: I was late. [11:43] lejonet: i've seen teh nastiest fragmentation on NTFS HDDs in screenshots from others - i never did, nor will use ntfs [11:43] lejonet: i'm talking 97% or more [11:43] lejonet, so the fact that defragmenting only gives you back 1% in NTFS to you means that it is not a problem. I see that as the defragmenting process in NTFS is broken and does not work properly.... [11:44] lejonet: in the output of whatever that XPoop tool is that shows you that [11:44] enouf, I can say that I have never seen a fragmented ntfs system, and enouf if you ever have used XP or Vista youve used ntfs sorry to say :P [11:45] and then ive repaired computers for 5 years, soon 6 years [11:45] lejonet: guess what - i haven't :-P [11:45] enouf, good, stick with linux, I prefer it :P by far [11:45] lejonet: you are a lucky one, i've lost about 1.5 Gigs of email due to fragmentation [11:45] Why my Gnome use xorg.conf keyboard settings? [11:45] lejonet: and also - by never used; i meant not on any MY boxen .. [11:45] please does anyone have any problems with Missing models with games on ubuntu, i cant find anything about it. The Games are Savage 2 and Mount & bLade. [11:46] +of [11:46] enouf: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/380363/ [11:46] enouf, hehe :P [11:46] sarmisak, then the guy that recovered that disk was using wrong tools [11:46] lejonet: but it's just wrong to say NTFS doesn't get fragmented [11:46] lejonet: complete and utter nonsense [11:46] enouf, I change that to hardly fragmented [11:46] lejonet: it'll get REALLY bad if you let it [11:46] bsusa: you could check bugreports in ubuntu launchpad. maybe its already reported as an issue [11:47] enouf, well, thats not ntfs, thats the user ;) [11:47] hiya ppl, i can get my xp laptop to see the essid of this ubuntu box via wifi0(ath0) but can't share internet or files, what am i missing? [11:47] oh well, I gotta go and fix grub, cya :P [11:47] <|v|4s7e|2> can sum1 help me with icecast === elky is now known as elkbuntu [11:48] enouf, can you explain to me lejonet last staement about it being the user's fault that NTFS sucks? [11:48] :) [11:48] bullgard4: so, as i said earlier - run "gunzip -dr /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation" or add the 'c' too [11:48] bsusa: do you have the model packages installed? [11:48] IdleOne: haha [11:49] IdleOne: users suck :-P [11:49] ??? [11:49] hi [11:49] all [11:49] pm me [11:49] !ot | komila [11:49] komila: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:49] how different is ubuntu 8 than the ubuntu 5? [11:49] user_:how do i know they are installed? [11:50] kaliMastah, hundreds of security and software upgrades [11:50] perhaps even thousands [11:50] <[edge]> kaliMastah, ubuntu 8 contains many security updates and new software [11:50] how bout the desktop? [11:50] is it more friendly than this 5.04? [11:50] kaliMastah: far too much to list here =) take a look at the release notes for each version eg: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/804overview [11:50] i am using it right now [11:51] pm me [11:51] bsusa: are the two games open source. savage2 at least seems to be freeware to me [11:51] bsusa: are the two games open source? savage2 at least seems to be freeware to me [11:51] kaliMastah, the desktop looks pretty much the same with some changes [11:51] '!ot > komila [11:51] !ot > komila [11:51] komila, please see my private message [11:51] <[edge]> kaliMastah, to my mind, ubuntu 8 is more pretty than 5 [11:52] Someone can help me?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [11:52] user__: Savage 2 is open source linux client, Mount & blade is running under wine. [11:52] kaliMastah, great thing about Ubuntu is you can make the desktop look like anything you want. although that is true for any operating system [11:52] hmmm okay [11:52] user__: Thing is they work but missing models [11:53] (13:30:04) Alrem: I have 2 user. First use en_us and ru_ru keyboard. Second - en_us and ukrainian. But Gnome don't save individual settings and use xorg.conf. [11:53] just wondering what it looked like [11:53] bsusa: did you install savage from ubuntu repositories? [11:53] kaliMastah: download the live cd and play with it. Gnome has hundreds (if not thousands) of tweaks and updates to it, so you'll likely notice a significant difference [11:53] kaliMastah, you can google for screeenshots of Ubuntu 8.04 [11:53] i am downloading the iso file of it right now [11:54] tomorrow ill be back here and see if 8.04 works out [11:54] :D [11:54] wish me luck [11:54] i downloaded the bin file then installed it sudo ./savage.... etc [11:54] kaliMastah, good luck :) [11:54] ill erase this old 5.04 === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [11:54] thanks IdleOne [11:54] !away > gardar`afk [11:54] gardar`afk, please see my private message [11:55] Alrem: are you just using X to save the keyboard config?

[13:24] joaopinto, sorry that was for bazhang [13:24] bazhang, yes I do... [13:25] jpastore, the flash plugin random fails, restart the browser may fix it [13:25] randomly [13:25] how can i get pidgin actually i am new [13:25] i'm not able to get ubuntu to recognize the driver i installed from the nvidia webstie indy [13:25] jpastore, that is odd; is there some other setup you have going that might affect this? [13:25] Jack_Sparrow: I love you :D [13:25] ankit It is installed by default [13:25] ikonia: users usally dont :) [13:25] ankit, help.ubuntu.com, read how to install applications [13:25] ankit: Applications/Internet/Pidgin.. is it not htere? [13:25] jeriath Excuse me? What did I do this time [13:25] now i just need to get ati drivers to work right [13:25] ankit: it should be installed by default, as jack said [13:25] bazhang, I don't think so... [13:25] joaopinto, I'll give it a shot [13:25] Jack_Sparrow: my drives work :D [13:25] ah [13:25] ok === ce_oRigiNal is now known as co_17 [13:26] LimCore: ok - so complain about your users then, rather than persistantly coming in here and saying things like "ubuntu lets me down again" - i'ts really tiresome - if you don't like ubuntu that much don't use it, if ubuntu's not the problem and your user has not paid attention, moan to him [13:26] i had to completely swap out hardware for this thing and its been a bitch getting new drivers [13:26] INDY something about the nvidia kernel [13:26] ikonia: well, windows is even bigger failure obviously [13:26] jeriath, family friendly please [13:26] Avi: well using the RPM is a bad idea [13:26] sry [13:26] okay [13:26] LimCore: I don't care about windows , no do I wish to discuss this in here [13:26] jeriath Im starting to remember.. so the generic trick worked? [13:26] don;t mine guys but installed default means [13:27] yep [13:27] any ideas Indy? [13:27] ikonia: still I think installer should be _perfectyly_ polished [13:27] LimCore, this is best discussed in -offtopic [13:27] ankit: use the restricted driver? [13:27] how can i make compiz icon appear on the system tray? [13:27] LimCore: I am losing interest in what you think as in this situation, there was NO problem other than user error [13:27] joaopinto, that was it =) [13:27] * jpastore sighs [13:27] Indy tried using the .run installer [13:27] ankit: it means its installed w/ a base install [13:27] jpastore, ;) [13:27] how can i use restricted driver? [13:27] i ended up adding it to the menu.lst, since i saw that that could be done and while i was at it i fixed grub so it would boot to the right volume anyway :P [13:27] bazhang, thanks a restart got it working...I should have tested that before bothering you guys... [13:27] ankit: restricted driver for what? [13:27] i think there's something wrong with the nvidia kernel [13:27] jpastore, nicely done :) [13:28] it would be nice to get an indication to the screen that something bad happened [13:28] ikonia: and there perhaps is a bug that one can not go back to previous installation step, but I will see later [13:28] for default [13:28] jeriath well done.. I just had you use the live way as a test.. glad you got the rest done [13:28] Avi, you should not use the driver from NVidia's honme page, you should use the one provided on the repositories [13:28] When I run the command "lastlog", it shows user 2 **never logged in**. However, I know user 2 has logged in as recently as yesterday. I tried running the command as sudo, thinking other user login was only displayed to root, but this did not make a difference. Ideas? This appears only to be an issue under Ubuntu. [13:28] LimCore: his livecd install is probably just lagging a little [13:29] Avi: have you not tried to enable the restricted driver? [13:29] i tried reinstalling all the packages i found after searching for nvidia in the synaptec [13:29] anyone install asterisk on ubuntu 8.04??? pleez reply...just a couple of settings req [13:29] but i can't get it back [13:29] Avi: you do't know how to answer a question do you [13:29] heh [13:29] troythetechguy: how are they logging in ? [13:29] LimCore Did you ever answer my question... if you run gparted from the menu and not the installer.. and remember it is slow.. do you see the partitions [13:30] i opened the restrictd driver window [13:30] but nothing is listed there === sokrazy is now known as feuj [13:30] Avi: ok, thats all you had to say, which nvidia device are you using? [13:30] there's no way to add custom servers to xchat-gnome? [13:30] anyone install asterisk on ubuntu 8.04....pleez reply...just a couple of settings req [13:30] ikonia: both via gdm and terminal. [13:30] zeeq Please hold down the repeats [13:30] ikonia: we are sure that previously installer skipped the question whether to partition manually etc. Is there any such condition? Perhaps if ubuntu thinks that disc is not formated (no part. table yet) [13:30] geforce 7 series [13:30] troythetechguy: if you do a "last" do you see them ? [13:30] !anyone > zeeq [13:30] zeeq, please see my private message [13:30] sure jack... [13:31] zeeq, we see your question; when someone knows they will reply-->however best to give a lot more info [13:31] LimCore the disk probably lagged and he pressed next twice [13:31] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, but now we are still trying other solution [13:31] Avi: very weird, because i have a 7900 and its fine [13:31] LimCore: thats quite common, people think it's done nothing and hit next a few times [13:31] ikonia agreed [13:31] it worked fine for me til i upgraded the driver === lordleemo1 is now known as lordleemo [13:31] foolish [13:31] Avi: why did you upgrade the driver? [13:31] ikonia: Yea, I did not know there was a "last" command, cool! Another tool for me to add to my utility belt. [13:32] Hello all. I'm trying to get my Wacom working in Ubuntu Studio 8.04, but the cursor doesn't move at all with the tablet. Any help? [13:32] troythetechguy: and they do show up in "last" ? [13:32] IndyGunFreak but you didnt try to install the driver from an rmp [13:32] in ubuntu there are 35 packes for asterisk...how many needs to be installed in order for asterisk to work on ubuntu?...thanks [13:32] does ubuntu upgrade automatically? [13:32] ikonia: Yes, they show up in "last" [13:32] Jack_Sparrow: lol, very good point... i didn't realize he actually tried that [13:32] ikonia: then it would be good to indicate it, if this is inedeed a common error [13:32] !info asterisk [13:32] asterisk (source: asterisk): Open Source Private Branch Exchange (PBX). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.4.17~dfsg-2ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2263 kB, installed size 5888 kB [13:32] Avi: usually... maybe not the day of a new release, but you'll get updated in due time. [13:33] emefarr_1: just apt-get install asterisk" [13:33] Indy: how can i roll back the driver [13:33] ? [13:33] zeeq sudo apt-get install asterisk [13:33] zeeq, first, what have you done? second, what errors did you get; third what is asterisk, and lastly, you should pastebin all this at paste.ubuntu.com [13:33] LimCore: people just need to be a little more patient when running a livecd in ram [13:33] in regards to man pages, what does the number (i.e. man(8) ) mean? [13:33] Avi: did you use the RPM to install the updated driver? [13:33] no [13:33] .run [13:33] ikonia: or, program should be more patient with users perhaps? Whats best place to discuss installer [13:34] Avi: i'm still curious why you were upgrading the driver in the first place [13:34] LOL [13:34] LimCore: you can't make them more patient - it's running in ram, it's down to the users individual machine, there is nothign wrong with that - it's not a bug" [13:34] Avi: i'm not really sure how to remove that driver [13:34] Was a link to a new driver on a website [13:34] kdubois, manpages are organized into sections, (8) is the section number, you can have several man pages on different sections for the same keyword [13:34] kdubois: man man ;-) [13:34] I was thinking of reinstalling Ubuntu [13:34] what a headache [13:35] Avi: well, that should fix it [13:35] LOL [13:35] thanks india [13:35] indi [13:35] learn to be a little more cautious about the instructions you follow [13:35] you confirmed my feats [13:35] fears [13:35] so how can i access a man page that isnt default? [13:35] bazhang: there are no error for now...I m just wodering if someone already installed asterisk on ubuntu...coz there are 35 packages I m sure not all of them are needed... [13:35] zeeq just install the asterisk package, it will install anything else thats needed [13:36] kdubois: man 1 man [13:36] zeeq, no idea never used it. [13:36] zeeq: you've been told 3 times now, is something not being made clear to you ? [13:36] user__: ah, ok. thanks [13:37] ikonia: its being installed as we speak...just one thing then...do u manually start asterisk? if you do what the command will look like? [13:37] zeeq: it's on the applications drop down menu [13:37] zeeq: I suggest you read some of the documentation on it [13:37] zeeq: try installing asterisk and asterisk-config [13:37] zeeq: it should run automatically [13:38] ikonia: thanks...will do...thanks once again [13:38] sarmisak: thanks..thats all I needed to know... [13:39] I liked 7.04 partitioner better [13:39] i have ubuntu server and it keeps auto-gening a dhcp interfaces [13:40] faster to edit all parts quickly [13:40] anyt thoughts on how to statically change that? [13:40] zeeq: keep in mind that asterisk is not a standalone application [13:40] i mean, i've done that [13:40] deStone: disable dhcpd ? [13:40] but every reboot, a new interface file is created [13:40] zeeq: it's a server and does not have much interactivity through xwindows. [13:40] is having dhcpd doing that? [13:40] deStone: what do you mean a new interfaces file ? [13:40] deStone: as in /etc/network/interfaces ? [13:40] LimCore: the older partitioner is still there, its called 'Partition Editor' [13:41] qoq [13:41] wow. [13:41] new users are SO confused by smallest things [13:41] like, "jfs" is not "jfs - with journaling" [13:42] someone should do a study on this and invent improvments to installer imho [13:42] My panels both moved to a bottom orientation randomly on a reboot and now I can't get the top one back to the top, anyone seen that before? [13:42] LimCore: there has been [13:43] LimCore: stop blaming ubuntu [13:43] ikonia: Sorry, I stepped away for a moment. Should I just be content I'm able to view information with "last" and not worry about why the user doesn't appear using "lastlog", or does the user appearing using "last" but not "lastlog" indicate an what the issue might be? [13:43] Ziroday: user that did used ubuntu is totally confused when installing 8.04 [13:43] ikonia: Im not [13:43] LimCore: seriosly - it's getting really old now, we can help with support, but take your gripes elsewhere [13:43] /cs k BonezAU [13:43] LimCore, turn your gripes into pro-active helping; that is the only way ubuntu gets better. [13:43] troythetechguy: just looking at how last log gets it's info [13:43] ikonia: well, try reading what I actually write, and I written now that I see room for improvment [13:44] LimCore: it's not an issue [13:44] !ot | LimCore [13:44] LimCore: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:44] is it possible to render a VLC stream onto a webpage? [13:44] LimCore, take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:44] installer have channel of its own? or, where to discuss ubuntu development best [13:44] !irc | LimCore [13:44] LimCore: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [13:45] LimCore, mailing lists [13:45] babolat: "render to webpage"? [13:45] ok [13:45] babolat, i though ive seen vlc streaming features support web browser viewing. [13:45] hi [13:45] what happened to kubuntu? [13:45] can I see my free and used space of the hard disk by konsole ? [13:45] racarter, Nothings happened to it... [13:46] Skrux, 'df -hs' is one way [13:46] i don't see a package for it [13:46] racarter #kubuntu ? [13:46] Dr_willis: ok [13:46] Skrux: df -h [13:46] racarter, there was never a package called 'kubuntu' it was 'kubuntu-desktop' [13:46] racarter: well nothing.. what should happen to it? [13:46] ok [13:46] sarmisak: I used asterisk for quite some time and still using it...I was just trying to get it to work on my ubuntu machine so that I can free up one of my machine which is only runing astertisk...I will try and help other users if I get it to work perfectly as it works alone [13:46] ok [13:46] thx men [13:46] i installed amarok; but there is no radio stations in my list of shoutcast streams. Can somebody help? [13:46] user__: Dr_willis I'm wondering if it's possible to embed a VLC stream into an HTML file or a PHP script [13:47] babolat: you can include any link into a php. question is if the browser can display it. that depends on the codec being used i guess [13:47] babolat, check the vlc homepage, and the companion vlc tool vls (i think thats the name) [13:48] user__: Dr_willis i've found this --> http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html#id310965 but i'd prefer it if I could use java or flash [13:48] /cs k Jack_Sparrow [13:48] user__: Dr_willis is ^that^ possible? [13:49] how do i set up a shortcut key like alt-d or windows-d or something to open /home/sonja/Documents ? [13:49] babolat, no idea. check the vlc forums [13:49] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop --> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have [13:49] ikonia & sarmisak...its my first asterisk try on ubuntu thats why the questions a a bit embarssing...i m sorry if i sound silly [13:50] zeeq: nothing silly about asking [13:50] zeeq: no problem. [13:50] as someone new to debian, would one generally recommend gutsy or heron? [13:50] thanks...guys [13:50] babolat: i would say java or flash is overkill for viewing a video on the net, but thats your decision. you will see what your users prefer [13:50] guano, you mean ubuntu right? [13:50] guano, the current version, Hardy Heron [13:50] err ubuntu [13:50] my bad :P [13:50] guano: The newer, the better, generally. [13:50] zeeq: what are you using for your FXO interface? digium cards? [13:50] haha [13:50] huygens: hardy === DarkAudi1 is now known as DarkAudit [13:51] i've got deb on the brain! [13:51] guano: hardy [13:51] back? [13:51] huygens: sorry [13:51] guano, you might try the live cd of both [13:51] anyway, it says i can't install package kubuntu-desktop [13:51] erm , what is the linux equivalent of the windows startup folder ? for example if i would like to have a command run at startup , how do i do this ? [13:51] user__: i intend to stream from a local webcam, and i need it to be as light as possible :) [13:51] i requested an impossible situation or something [13:51] !startup [13:51] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [13:51] knightwise, Systems -> Preferences -> Sessions [13:51] knightwise, system prefs sessions command [13:51] yes digium cards [13:51] knightwise: When you boot, or when you login? [13:51] mainly stability issues, if heron is too experimental or if it is good, vs gutsy's libraries being outdated [13:51] ok [13:51] babolat: so dont use java .. ;-) [13:52] i only have experience with debian, equating this with etch vs lenny [13:52] bazhang, im using xfce [13:52] guano, hardy is not experimental, is the current stable release [13:52] how etch is too outdated and a hastle to install anything [13:52] anyone use arial2? [13:52] i was just wondering how stable heron is [13:52] oh [13:52] knightwise, you may want to ask in #xubuntu then [13:52] !hardy | guano [13:52] i was not aware of that [13:52] ok , thanx [13:52] guano very stable, but you can always dual boot gutsy and hardy [13:52] np [13:52] !anyone > livingdaylight [13:52] guano: Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [13:52] livingdaylight, please see my private message [13:52] guano: We don't do a rolling experimental/testing release like Debian does. [13:53] sarmisak: I have 4 FXOs working fine with the asterisk box, now will try in ubuntu...will certainly report back if there is any aditional settings req... [13:53] hi all anyone knows how to reformat ubuntu? i'd lke a blank system :) [13:53] i'll stick with heron then [13:53] i tried it briefly with no problems [13:53] is the correct package kubuntu-kde4-desktop? [13:53] rather than kubuntu-desktop [13:53] matteo_ gparted livecd can erase the entire hard drive [13:53] matteo_: you can use gparted sometimes called the "partition editor" [13:53] kubuntu-desktop has problems, unresolved dependencies they say... [13:53] hello [13:54] i'm just tiredo f everything being too much work in debian to install packages i want, and i like how ubuntu has vware support right out the box [13:54] how can I make my touchpad deactivate automatically [13:54] i dont know what it uses, but without even installing vmware tools it already has something.. [13:54] ? [13:54] i am in live mode of kubuntu, i want to format one of the drives,how do i do that??? [13:55] adityag gparted ot qtparted [13:55] guano, with gutsy vmware, with hardy vbox are the easiest solutions [13:55] i noticed ubuntu would grab/ungrab the vmware window straight off the live cd, so it must have some vmware drivers built in [13:55] guano, in the canonical partner repos, not the live cd though [13:55] how do i run , gparted ?? [13:56] if i try running some other distro where i cant easily install vmware tools, my vmware has really bad mouse handling [13:56] adityag: open a terminal and type 'gparted' [13:56] i know there is a command like mkfs that is preetty easy isnt it? I'd like to reformat without using partition and so on :) is it possible? [13:56] i liked that ubuntu did that out the box [13:56] guano, if you are used to debian then gutsy/hardy will be very familiar and easy to use. [13:56] matteo_: try gparted [13:56] if it wasnt for that bad vmware bug it wouldnt be an issue === ara_lunch is now known as ara [13:56] no one seems to know anything about it either, i tried #vmware [13:56] is a package? [13:57] where is the terminal ??? [13:57] but as long as i got the vmware mouse driver its cool [13:57] adityag: or you can press alt-f2 and then type in gparted [13:57] guano, best to try both live cds though, just to be sure :) [13:58] could not run the specified command ??? [13:58] Other than "shred" from coreutils, are there any other shredders for linux? I have a good one for windows that can shred directories and overwright the free space on a drive. Something like that would be nice [13:58] adityag: are you using ubuntu or kubuntu? [13:58] kubuntu [13:58] k i downloaded gparted now how to reinstall ubuntu? :) [13:59] furious_joe: there are special mini distros for shredding [13:59] adityag: try typing in qtparted instead [13:59] matteo_: insert cd and reinstall ? [13:59] adityag: also kubuntu support in #kubuntu [13:59] just different things with deb has left a bad taste in my mouth, like doing dist-upgrade to lenny, and getting broken g++ [14:00] it was crashing frequently on me [14:00] so i need to format my hd with NTFS and then reinstall ubuntu with cd? [14:00] I was mainly after the clear free space stuff, so I can clear my drives when going overseas [14:00] matteo_ why format to ntfs [14:00] without removing the data [14:00] matteo_: you can just reinsert the cd and run through the installer again [14:00] that was like the first 4 times i installed it, the last 2 i didnt have a problem, aside from the apt-get/upgrade issues [14:00] <[\dan\]> user__: or do dd if=random of=/dev/urandom as root. creates a data file full of random data until the disc runs out of space. run it as root as the system reserves a small amount [14:00] <[\dan\]> only cryptographic nuts would get stuff back after that [14:00] <[\dan\]> fills free space [14:01] i somehow got a bad g++ package in lenny, 4.2.4, and still had the darn 2GB fstream bug [14:01] that was actually when i first tried ubuntu, to see if it worked there, which it did [14:01] then i installed etch again and it worked there too, so it was something bad from lenny [14:01] guano welcome to ubuntu :) www.ubuntu.com/dowload [14:01] lol [14:02] <[\dan\]> ubuntu as a desktop os is brilliant, ubuntu server is a waste of time [14:02] sry i am noob :P so wot i do with gparted? [14:02] [\dan\]: that would overwrite the whole disk, and not onyl the free space, as furious_joe needs? [14:02] <[\dan\]> no no [14:02] hey guys, can someone help me to set a static ip on my ubuntu so the ip stays the same always even after rebooting? [14:02] <[\dan\]> that would be dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/urandom [14:02] dont worry, I found this: http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/unix/secure-erase.html which explains it. Thanks for the help [14:02] g0tcha: sure [14:02] anyone had broken package for transmission lately? I get: "trying to overwrite `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/transmission.png', which is also in package transmission" and the upgrade of the package fails... I tried to remove and install once again, but now it fails to install... [14:02] because a compiler in lenny that still has the darn 2GB bug is kinda fail, i suspect it was something that installed an older library version and apt-get would never update it [14:02] g0tcha: go to System > Admin > Network [14:03] [\dan\]: ah, i thought i would need to have replace $manual by the hd ;-) [14:03] g0tcha: I also need to know what IP address you want and the IP address of your router [14:03] guano: what does your problem have to do w/ ubuntu? [14:03] <[\dan\]> user__: i think i may have it the wrong way round [14:03] how can I change the settings of libnotify? [14:03] furious_joe: you could follow us? [14:03] Ziroday, 192.168.1.111 and 192.168.1.1 for the router [14:04] to where? [14:04] hi [14:04] g0tcha: is this a wired connection? [14:04] he ([\dan\]:) wrote in the channel how you can to it [14:04] Bonjour à tous [14:04] furious_joe: he ([\dan\]:) wrote in the channel how you can to it [14:04] j'aurais besoin d'aide [14:04] <[\dan\]> furious_joe: root@p3celeron-gonzales:~# dd if=/dev/urandom of=urandom [14:04] <[\dan\]> 13493+0 records in [14:04] <[\dan\]> 13492+0 records out [14:04] <[\dan\]> 6907904 bytes (6.9 MB) copied, 3.82768 s, 1.8 MB/s [14:04] Ziroday, yes, it is [14:05] You don't speak french ?

[14:48] im going to install k3b by force using apt-get [14:49] when im in partition manager part do i just the correct partition to /home but not format [14:49] <__ryan__> what's wrong with Brasero [14:49] kaliMastah: can you right-click on the iso file in nautilus and see if there is a 'Write to CD' option [14:49] brasero burn images [14:49] its default on ubuntu 8.04 [14:49] theres none [14:49] __ryan__: we're talking about some prehistoric version of ubuntu [14:50] soundray, it prompt to cd/dvd creator [14:50] no brasero?

[14:50] have to drag the iso to that nautilius and start burning it [14:50] hccmb: he's using 5.04 the problem isn't he can't burn, he doesn't have a program to burn, and 5.04's repos' are closed [14:50] I"m trying to configure mp3blaster [14:50] get an error saying that it can't open /dev/dsp [14:50] Can someone please give me some advice [14:50] How to quickly tell system (mostly KDE) that I want program XYZ to open all graphical files? [14:50] pici, im trying to upgrade this thing to 8.04 [14:51] kaliMastah-> next time you partition your 40gig, i suggest / partition about 8-10gig /home about 10gig /swap 1gig the rest unused for growth [14:51] i want to setup a mail server to use with openprotect [14:51] hmm, ok , on 5.04 maybe try to install gnomebaker [14:51] what is best to use? [14:51] kaliMastah: no, that won't work [14:51] hccmb: thats the prob, he can't, the repositories are closed [14:51] or atleast install 8.04 [14:52] kaliMastah: do you have a friend that would let you burn a CD at their house or something? [14:52] amenado, i will thanks but for now ill try to figure out how to burn the cd [14:52] how do i configure sendmail for receiving mails and how would you setup a mail account? [14:52] IndyGunFreak, theres a computer shop nearby...they can burn [14:52] kaliMastah-> you still have your 5.04 cdrom? [14:52] morgan: sendmail will auto recive hosts to user@hostname [14:52] ill try it there right now [14:52] morgan: thats it's default setup [14:52] amenado, yes [14:53] amenado, i can burn right here [14:53] how would you go about configuring a mail client to retrieve? [14:53] so yah can i just name the correct partition /home and it will become my /home partition without formatting it? [14:53] kaliMastah-> then if you have your 5.04, re-install and resize the partitions, to leave you a separate partition for the new 8.04 [14:53] kaliMastah: you can burn, but you can't burn it as an image.. thats the problem [14:53] oh well im going out and ask someone to burn it [14:53] morgan: you'd need a pop3/imap server setup to read the mail [14:53] morgan: thats not sendmails job [14:53] IndyGunFreak, ill burn it at the nearby computer shop [14:53] kaliMastah: just make sure its burned as an image... [14:53] would the pop3 read from the sendmail info store? [14:53] kaliMastah-> you dont need to bother no one else :P [14:53] morgan: the mail is held in the users home directory by default [14:54] kaliMastah: and if they make you pay for it, i'd tell them to test boot it. [14:54] right ok do you have any recommendations? [14:54] IndyGunFreak, uhmm thats the problem they are linux nooby [14:54] morgan: I rate dovecot as a imap server, and it is fine as a pop3 server, there are others though [14:54] whats the best way to crate own global shortcuts in gnome? [14:54] can i set it up to interact with openprotect? [14:55] morgan: thats not very wise [14:55] Hello. How can I get vzdump on Ubuntu Hardy? [14:55] morgan: are you on an home connection, DSL/Cable ? [14:55] lease line at work test network [14:55] kaliMastah-> you got the idea? re-install the 5.04, have a separate partition just for 8.04..then you come back and lets install your 8.04 iso from hd [14:55] morgan: ok - then speak to a mail administrator before doing anything as if your smtp server is "open" your ip range could get black listed [14:56] ikonia : will do, but theoretically how would i go about it in an offline situation? [14:56] sic [14:56] nevermind my question, I think I've found a repo that has vzdump :) [14:57] morgan: you don't in an offline situation [14:58] as in using openprotect on a gateway forwarding to a pop3?

[15:55] zorglu__: so we are not one step further with the task of boupartaC [15:55] gabbler, I haven't, but does that also allow me to detach a GUI app from my X session? [15:55] regular usb printer, the print spooler/manager doesn't load and the printer doesn't print [15:55] gabbler, that's my ultimate goal, I'd like to decouple my torrent program and media player from my x session, so even if I logout they continue to run [15:55] cjohnson: what exactly do you mean, like screen but for x? [15:56] How can I change the backdrop picture with a terminal in X ? [15:56] Anyone have a link readily available for Intrepid Alpha1? [15:56] cjohnson, you can setup vnc with it's own X session [15:56] davvs_: depends on your terminal [15:56] cjohnson: you can use the nohup keyword so it run in the background [15:56] badcloud:some command need options [15:56] weezelding: i have xterm, and I want to change the backdrop in X [15:56] gabbler, can I then bring it to the foreground at some point?

[15:56] hi, unfortunatly the wireless still doesn't work ... [15:57] bainan, can you elaborate? [15:57] i configured the ssid and wpa ... but it doesn't work [15:57] cjohnson: good question, i know you can with bash but have never tried it for x [15:57] joaopinto, but I want to separate it from X, that's what I'm saying. [15:57] weezelding: I have gnome-terminal as well [15:57] gabbler, I'll give that a try when I get home though, thanks :) [15:57] print --h [15:58] cjohnson: np, if i find any more i'll let you know [15:58] I'm printing via x [15:58] regular print dialog [15:58] any clue what's wrong with intel driver in Xorg. The screen goes blank after random time. Killing kdm and restarting won't bring it up neither loading i915 module again. Logs doesn't show anything special regarding the blanking. [15:58] don't want to have to open a dialog each time [15:58] dialog=terminal [15:59] (the 2nd 'dialog) [15:59] davvs_: you mean background? [15:59] Anybody know how to upgrade apache2 and php5 to the latest version? (2.2.9/5.2.6). Please come in private. [15:59] it's just that the print spooler doesn't seem to load [15:59] or about positioning the terminal? [15:59] weezelding: yes [15:59] hello, thanks to ASULutzy I was able to find out what kind of wireless board I have and installed the driver, but now, that I've configured the SSID and WPA it still doesn't work ... [15:59] the background picture of the window-system [16:00] any suggestions? [16:00] this is in 8.04 btw [16:00] I'm running ubuntu feisty on a box of mine, I'd like to install a newer version of smartmontools, the version is provided in gutsy. How can I do this? [16:00] have you tried google with this: xterm +background +image [16:00] m3talgod_: I've actually not been able to get WPA set up using ndiswrapper and that card, though admittedly I haven't tried that hard. I just set up MAC filtering and called it a day === acid_ is now known as kisela [16:00] Bogaurd: by apt-pinning [16:01] how do I do that? [16:01] bainan, 'print --h' did not do much [16:01] weezelding: I've not heard of that - I figured I'd need to use a backport..? [16:01] aye [16:01] for example [16:01] I'm having problems with the install :( The installer isn't showing any partitions for me to install to. it's a 750gb sata drive with windows vista already installed on it. Wanted to move the partition to have space for the install [16:01] I've tried to google and browse around a bit but I'm not having any luck [16:01] weezelding: no... i haven't, ill try that, thanks [16:02] Anybody knows how to upgrade apache2 and php5 to the latest version? (2.2.9/5.2.6). Please come in private. [16:02] the important thing for me right now is get the wireless going, it doesn't matter if it is with or without WPA .. [16:03] m3talgod_: Mine works perfectly using no encryption and MAC filtering (though this isn't 100% secure, someone who knows what they're doing could snoop/hop on, but 99/100 users won't be able to) with WEP and that card it works, but I experienced significantly slower speeds, and I was unable to get WPA-PSK working, so take your pick ;) [16:03] anyone? how is it that I can print a test page but printing via x dialog not working? [16:03] bcjohnson: having looked a bit further, it seems that what you would like, a screen for x, seems not possible at the moment due to how x works, the closest people have come is via vnc [16:03] boupartaC, you should keep with the package versions provided from your repositories... [16:03] Bogaurd: you're right -- look for a backport [16:03] !backports > Bogaurd [16:03] Bogaurd, please see my private message [16:04] thanks guys [16:04] oh, so I just don't fill in anything at WPA? [16:04] what about at SSID? [16:04] m3talgod_: These are all things you setup on your router [16:05] or has someone actually found solution for cracking sound with intel sound card? modprobe and "options snd_hda_intel model=macmini position_fix=2 probe_mask=1" parameters doesn't seem to have any affect [16:05] s/affect/effect/ [16:05] ok, thanks again, hope it works :) [16:06] !intelhda > weezelding [16:06] weezelding, please see my private message [16:06] soundray: i thought i've tried that... [16:06] but let's see [16:07] Buckeye: Have you tried the manual partitioning? [16:07] hi, my sound just "stopped" after some idiotic banner on the webpage tried to do the sound effects and i closed the firefox, i've tried restarting alsa-utils but that didn't help, what can i do (i don't want to restart) [16:07] Anarhist: kde/gnome ? [16:08] what do I do to read the print manager messages? [16:08] weezelding, gnome [16:08] weezelding, cracking sound? have you made sure that none of your mixer volumes are at 100%? My sound crackles when my mixers are maxed out. [16:08] ah, dunno about it's sound system. kde uses artsd, and it gets jammed sometimes [16:09] m,iuh [16:09] Seven_Six_Two: only way to recover working sound is boot up (few) times [16:09] anyone know of an sftp/scp client that allows the user to throttle the speeds of up/down loads? [16:09] hi ppl, how can i install ubuntu 8.04 into existing reiserfs partition (deleting content of this partition is no such big problem)? [16:09] weezelding, do you use kde? [16:09] Seven_Six_Two: yep [16:09] Hi, I just partitioned my hard drive for a logical ext2 partition but when i tryed to install. Its telling me theres no root directory any lead me in the right direction? [16:10] weezelding, have you turned down the time that arts holds on to the sound card for? [16:10] kinus, i think that at some point the install asks you where to install, you can just select the one you like [16:10] how to diagnose print spooler/manager? anyone? [16:10] taes81, you must set one of the partitions mount point to "/" [16:10] Seven_Six_Two: hmm? [16:10] Solet; scp can throttle the speed but it is a one time set per scp. [16:11] badcloud: look in /var/log/cups [16:11] thanks [16:11] kinus, do what badcloud just told taes81, set the mount point to '/' when asked [16:11] Anarhist:: no such question.. when i choose "expert" or smth like that, there is only one hard drive, no logical partitions [16:11] bastid_raZor: scp is a client? [16:11] don't think I said that, but thanks for the credit :) [16:11] weezelding, sound & multimedia >> soundsystem >> autosuspend if idle after "" [16:11] Solet; command line [16:12] oh, well, somebody did [16:12] and gparted wants to make new table, destroying everything [16:12] hi ah does shutdown -r -f --- still work for rebooting and fscking the file system ? [16:12] Seven_Six_Two: ah, noup [16:12] its not in the man file on ubuntu [16:12] Seven_Six_Two: let's see [16:13] im pretty new to linunx how would i mount it [16:13] bastid_raZor: do you know of a gui app to do it? [16:13] dbmoodb: I don't think it does (didn't when I last tried), but 'sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo shutdown -r now' works [16:13] Seven_Six_Two: thanks for in advance [16:13] kde wallet doesn't work... splended [16:13] weezelding, well if it works, you're welcome. [16:13] soundray: why was -f removed ? [16:13] dbmoodb: I don't know [16:13] that Xorg blanking is still a mystery [16:13] taes81, you dont mount it, during install, when you create the partition you can also define its "mount point", on that field you must set "/", which means that will be the root (base) of your system [16:14] soundray, '/var/log/cups' has 'access_log cups-pdf_log error_log page_log', all empty [16:14] taes81, and you choose use ext3 instead of ext2 [16:14] Solet; http://linuxreviews.org/software/ftp-clients/ a good place to look [16:15] weezelding, sorry, I missed that problem. I just dragged my lazy @$$ out of bed. [16:15] hi all [16:15] Does anyone know which package includes ernno.h? [16:15] joaopinto: so windows will be second in line i already made the partition with partition magic though [16:15] Seven_Six_Two: :) [16:15] hello all [16:15] how is everyone [16:15] doing [16:15] Im trying to use recordmydesktop to illustrate a bug in kwalletmanager, but recordmydesktop doesnt work too... [16:15] i have trouble with driver for canon FAX-L120 where i can get it? [16:15] Hi! I'm unable to have webcam conversations in kopete. I've traced the problem to an ICMP packet my machine is sending out which states that the connection is being 'administratively filtered'. Is there some firewall in ubuntu by default which I don't know about? I checked hosts.allow/hosts.deny already. [16:16] !apt-file | gizmobay [16:16] gizmobay: apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename.

(I want to know the evolution package i've got) [16:17] LunarLinuxKitten: install openssh-server [16:17] LunarLinuxKitten: What do you mean by 'allow ssh'?

[16:17] why just to gutsy, Bogaurd? === cal is now known as Guest81472 [16:17] LunarLinuxKitten: -v plz [16:17] weezelding: I ran into a similar issue. Running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg --frontend=gnome" and reconfiguring xorg seemed to fix the problem [16:18] Bogaurd: Depends. Do you have any drivers that aren't in the kernel that you use? [16:18] weezelding, it sounds to me like apm isn't working for you. you should be able to adjust the power settings in kde [16:18] Bogaurd: it's normally okay if you follow the instructions. Do have a backup, though, especially if you're worried. [16:18] sivelwork: i actually have kde [16:18] ehm, sorry jamiejackson, Hardy I guess :P [16:18] well then replace that with kde [16:18] k, Bogaurd ;-) [16:18] weezelding: I noticed after I hit enter [16:18] i got it [16:18] 8.04 LTS in any regard [16:18] weezelding, or apci [16:18] install build-essential then do an apt-file search? [16:18] it's a server [16:18] gizmobay: aren't you listening to me? [16:18] gizmobay: No, install build-essential [16:18] Why does greeter application come in between me and hardy [16:19] hi, i'm still trying to recover my sound, i've tried restarting alsa-utils and pulseaudio, but nothing works, i'm using gnome [16:19] Seven_Six_Two: yep, probably. I think sometime I got error about running out of video memory [16:19] hello [16:19] I have a raid1 on the system drive with mdadm, so I'll probably disconnect one of the drives as a backup and when I verify it's all working add it back and let it sync up :) [16:19] need help for Konversation/Knotify [16:19] berent, the graphical login screen? it's supposed to, but you can turn it off if you want. [16:19] Bogaurd: Be careful [16:20] Bogaurd: Ubuntu loves to not boot from degraded arrays [16:20] the build-essential has the errno.h file I need? [16:20] Bogaurd: For the most part, everything should be fine. NDIS NICs may have to be set up again, NVidia proprietary drivers will have to be rebuilt. As far as the RAID, I have no idea. [16:20] gizmobay: probably# [16:20] Anarhist: I had the same problem some months ago; in the end it was just a wrong-configured alsamixer; so maybe try to set all channels in the alsamixer to 100%? [16:20] weezelding, that's odd. what video card do you have? [16:20] it might be that sucky video shadow memory what they use with intel mac mini's [16:20] ASULutzy: yeah, I've run into that a bunch of times now :( [16:20] hello @all [16:20] thanks OddishB :) [16:20] noobuntu: hi :) [16:20] Seven_Six_Two: No it says greeter application failed. when i do ctrl+backspace it reloads and then login screen appears. [16:20] I would like to use pis, but it fails to connect to my gtalk under ubuntu.. according to wiki it should use Legacy SSL setting, but if I try to select that I get: "Cannot enable SSL/TLS. Plugin not found." anyone has been able to fix this?? [16:20] *psi [16:21] Bogaurd: But if it's just a server, I think the only thing you have to worry about are the RAID and the NIC. [16:21] I needed 915resolution before, but nowadays intel driver works almost fine. actually it worked perfectly. [16:21] why should i use ubuntu and not archlinux? :S [16:21] I see [16:21] thanks [16:21] either I upgrade the install or do a fresh install, but fresh install would take many days of configuring :P [16:21] Seven_Six_Two: but i cannot remember which update broke it [16:21] who there can help me?

[16:24] i got the problem that Konversation starts 15 seconds after clicking [16:24] before knotify gets loaded [16:24] Yui never wished me a happy birthday [16:24] why does this need such a long time? [16:24] Wups. [16:24] Sorry. Disregard that. [16:25] :D [16:25] micd198 Are you running gnome or kde? [16:25] ASULutzy i checked the makefile. it says mkdir -p $(MODPATH)/net^M [16:25] cp $(MODULE) $(MODPATH)/net^M [16:25] aata, that ^M is from a windows editor, you should remove it [16:26] ASULutzy i think it doesnt know where $(MODULE) is, so the cp command is left incomplete [16:26] aata, is modpath being set? can you echo that var? [16:26] is there an embedded version of ubuntu? [16:26] joapinto i opened it in vi [16:26] Seven_Six_Two which variable [16:27] aata, $MODPATH [16:27] aata: replacing ^M in vim, would go like this: vim -b filetoopen and after vim has opened: :%s/\r\n/\n/gi [16:28] aata: Yea, you need to get rid of the ^M's, there are lots of ways to do this, vim works, I think there's a dos2unix that basically does it, you could use tr to do it.... [16:28] aata, nevermind. I just read it again, and I agree with joaopinto now [16:29] how come admin -> users/groups -- does not show all groups? [16:29] specifically www-data group [16:29] Seven_Six_Two when do i put in the %s thiing? [16:29] S3 Unichrome - is it worth trying to update the driver to get effects going? or just leave it alone and give the machine back to the owner with the new os as-is.. [16:30] how can i fix this ? please take a look http://www.kitaupload.com/download.php?file=161Screenshot.png [16:30] Scunizi DOnt bother with effects on an S3 [16:30] tr -d "\015" theMakefile theNewMakeFile should work, maybe :P [16:30] aata, I've never done it(weezelding typed that) but you start with the ":" and type everything after that [16:30] offline Please dont post a link without a description of the problem [16:30] aata, you do it once you've loaded that file with vim [16:30] Thanks Jack_Sparrow .. that's what I thought to.. no problem.. brand new converts to Ubuntu (kids in family) .. just finished redoing their machine. [16:31] Seven_Six_Two i did exactly that... it said 376 changes made in one line (?) abut the ^Ms are still there [16:31] Scunizi great... pick up an nvidia and drop it in when you get a chance.. much easier on you [16:31] jack-sparrow: ok i have describe the problem earlier.. the video color on ubuntu got bluish.. how can i fix that ? [16:31] weezelding when do i insert the %s command? after typing :? [16:31] aata, sorry. that was weezelding's suggestion [16:31] aata: Why the hate on my tr command [16:31] Scunizi See also WOP World of Padman game [16:32] ASULutzy tr? [16:32] aata: ASULutzy showed easy way [16:32] and not hating :) [16:32] is there a app to where i can put a dvd in the drive and it will download all the information for it and put it in a catalog or database? i know they make ones where you input the name but i just want to put the dvd in and thats it [16:32] Jack_Sparrow: I've got an extra 6100 that I only paid 40 for.. I'll ask if they want it... repo's for Padman? [16:32] hello, i need a little help, cant get ubuntu to boot after formating the XP partition and reinstalling it... [16:32] tr -d "\015" thefile thenewfile [16:32] aata: are you sure you have to compile the driver? zd1211 normally works 'out of the box' [16:32] offline I am just saying that with the link you need to give a description. I googled that the other day and found lots of hits about it.. [16:32] i didnt format the ubuntu partitions, all the files are still there, i can access them when i load the live cd, but the grub menu doesnt show up during boot [16:33] soundray i was going along with a howto but now that i heck it, it was pretty old [16:33] hi, eu.playstation.com doesnt render properly.... does anyone know of a fix? [16:33] it boots XP right away... [16:33] soundray i think from '06 [16:33] offline, and that link doesn't even work for me. it timed out. [16:33] Is there any remote vnc client for windows [16:33] soundray how would i activate the driver? modprobe? [16:33] dfgas, a few years ago I started the project GTKtalog which does what you want. Look for it. [16:33] rubydiamond: there's several [16:33] tretle: emailing them saying that thier site is broken [16:33] Burim did you install or restore windows.. it will kill grub [16:33] rubydiamond: http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/winvncviewer.html [16:33] seven_six_two: i'll try to host it on different host [16:33] zhall [16:33] aata: if it's USB, run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' to see what the system does when you plug the device in [16:34] tretle: eh.. can you be more pedantic? [16:34] i completly formated that partition and reinstalled it [16:34] Ziroday - That would involve SCEE actually doing work :D [16:34] Burim, you need to rerun grub install. boot the live cd, chroot to your main partition and rerun grub-install [16:34] are there any packages to add more hard drive controller support? The install isn't recognizing my controller I don't think.

[16:35] Burim, and don't reinstall windows after linux. back it up once it's set properly, then just restore it if you have to. Windows doesn't like to play nice with anyone else. [16:35] Are there any ubuntu devel releases? I've gone to ubuntu.com/testing and it still says that hardy is the current devel release.

[16:37] use a vnc [16:37] Burim: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows <-- Somewhat more detailed instructions. [16:37] ah thanks I'll try F6 see if it helps [16:37] rubydiamond vnc.. samba [16:37] or use samba if you just want to access its files [16:37] montcalm, i got the del iso off of ubuntu.com [16:37] salut, salut [16:38] Scunizi Let me look for it.. one sec.. sorry I lagged [16:38] rubydiamond: Ubuntu has a terminal server client that can connect using Windwos RDP (it's like using mstsc in Windows) [16:38] jack-desktop, I want to test something on IE6 on it [16:38] ASULutzy, [16:39] offline, you have no red!! what video card do you have? [16:39] Scunizi http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?files they will need the linux installer and the patch [16:39] WalloO, did you stop it? [16:39] rubydiamond: sudo apt-get install tsclient if it isn't already installed, then can just click applications -> Internet -> Terminal Server Client [16:40] Seven_six_two: nvidia 600GT [16:40] Seven_six_two: nvidia 8600GT [16:40] ASULutzy, its already there [16:40] thanks man [16:40] hello i'm trying to dodge a nvidia but thats in 169 and 173. my card is only a 6200. i was thinking on just using nvidia-glx 96.43. I don't think it makes much difference for my card using new or the older drivers. [16:40] Jack_Sparrow: thanks.. I had forgotten about this one.. does the S3 have 3d acceleration? [16:40] err a nvidia bug.. [16:40] ASULutzy, the other system(Windows) needs to be configured or not [16:40] Scunizi I dont think it does.. the 6100 will [16:40] dfgas, in fact I gave my project to the current maintainer, since I had no more time to manage it. I don't know what is the state of the project at this time. [16:40] offline, have you tried installing/running nvidia-settings as root? [16:41] just wanted to confirm if i'd get into issues with 96.43 [16:41] rubydiamond: Yea, I'm sure you need to enable allowing RDP connections on the Windows machine [16:41] rubydiamond, do you just want to see how a site looks with ie? [16:41] Seven_six_two: i have, at the first time i installed it [16:41] dfgas, in fact, i did it just for me, then I gave it to the community just in case someone may need it. I didn't expected it to become a long term project [16:41] hi, i'm trying to get x11vnc to run properly. atm my server auto logs in with my name [george] and then runs x11vnc. i can succesfully login with a vnc viewer but only ONCE, and after that it says connection refused, and i can't start x11vnc because it says it can't connect to the display [16:42] ahh === tobias_ is now known as tobias [16:42] offline, you should be able to adjust the colours with it/ [16:43] hmm, do the old 96.43 nvidia drivers have aiglx support? [16:43] rubydiamond, if you just need to see the site, you can use a site like http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php [16:43] i need help in the following issue, when i open computer window, ubuntu shows me all the partitions available in my hard disk, it is not mounting them, but some partitions are private or exclusive, i won't ubuntu to show them, how can i void that? [16:43] Seven_six_two: i'll try. thanks. i'll come back [16:43] Seven_Six_Two, OddishB thanks alot ! i was about to cry when i thought i'd have to reinstall both os's... [16:43] SakuraKinomoto all partitions mounted in /media will appear on the desktop.. change the mount point [16:43] hallo. ich wollte gerade x11 cursor installieren. habs auch so gemacht, wie es bei ubuntuusers beschrieben ist. sie werden bei "erscheinungsbild" aber nicht angezeigt [16:44] PTBD: english [16:44] !de | PTBD [16:44] PTBD: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [16:44] WalloO, the only thing i find is something that will make images of the files of your dvds [16:44] i mean cds [16:44] Burim, nope. just make a backup of the win partition when you get everything installed to save some pain later. [16:44] Jack_Sparrow: they're not mounted [16:44] yea i'll do that [16:44] thanks again :) [16:44] oh sorry. i forgot the -de behind the channel [16:44] bye.. [16:44] Jack_Sparrow it is just showing me some links to mount them, i don't want those links [16:45] SakuraKinomoto look in /etc/fstab and see if they appear in there [16:45] How does one determine if a 64 bit install has been done? or not...? [16:45] dfgas, hooo... maybe I made a misatke... Are you talking about video DVD or standards data DVD and CDs? [16:45] usr13: uname -a [16:45] usr13, look for usr/lib64? [16:45] SakuraKinomoto To Remove Drive Icons from Desktop Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visable.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/hide-removable-drive-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ [16:45] WalloO, video dvd [16:45] Jack_Sparrow: they're not in fstab [16:46] haha. or uname -a [16:46] dfgas, sorry... gtktalog is not made for that [16:46] thanks Jack_Sparrow, i'll see there [16:46] soundray you think itll work if i just plug it in? the device IS detected... theres even an option in the network-manager tray icon to create new network... dont know if thats default. you think i should modprobe any drivers? [16:46] WalloO, i want to be able to put a movie in and have the program download the needed info and store it in a database so i have a collection of my dvds [16:46] WalloO, oh :( [16:46] heh [16:46] usr13: or even better: uname -m [16:46] SakuraKinomoto Also look to see what all you have in /media in the way of mounts [16:47] weezelding: What is the kernel name be for 64 bit? [16:47] When running lsb_release it says that thier are No LSB modules are available., what to do? [16:47] aata: no. nm-applet wouldn't show it to you if there was no driver [16:47] usr13: do uname -m [16:47] Ziroday: run lsb_release -a, thats a normal error. [16:47] Pici: ah, I knew I was missing something :) thanks [16:47] Ziroday lsb_release -a you will still see the error but get the inf [16:47] weezelding: Ok, very good, it is i686 [16:47] hi. i'm instaling ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386. after boot, i asked to install. an ubuntu screen loaded showing a gauge. then it displayed a shell screen with the msg: BusyBox ... Built-in shell .. (initramfs). what happened? [16:47] usr13: :) [16:47] aata: when you left-click the applet, does it list wireless networks? [16:47] what's the diff between id username and just id [16:48] getting diff results [16:48] Jack_Sparrow: no, this not correct the issue [16:48] Laptop install is a little out of sorts... will keep looking. [16:48] SakuraKinomoto Sorry, ask again and see if someone knows or if I see the light [16:48] soundray no thats exactly the thing. if youre on ubuntu thoug can you check if at create new network option is there? [16:48] Jack_Sparrow: i opened nautilus through the places menu, then choosed computer, and they show me some links to mount the other partitions, [16:49] i don't want those links [16:49] fg3: id username shows you the information for user 'username'. If you run just 'id', it'll assume that you want the info for the user specified by the variable $USER [16:49] SakuraKinomoto Do you ever want to see them..? [16:49] aata: 'Create new wireless network' is for when you want to set up your Ubuntu as an access point. [16:50] soundray can you do that ootb? [16:50] aata: ootb? [16:50] Jack_Sparrow: not those links, i just want to be able to acces the partitions in the /etc/fstab, but hardy allow me to mount any partition just placing those links [16:51] soundray: out of the box [16:51] Pici: cheers [16:51] soundray out of the box [16:51] thanks Pici :D [16:51] How can I change an extended partition to a primary? I installed linux and it changed my XP partition to extended so I can't boot it anymore [16:51] aata: with zd1211rw? I don't know [16:51] asmiller08: look at a program called gparted, but be careful [16:52] soundray doesnt have to be. because if it is then that eliminates the need for the dongle and therefore modules/drivers [16:52] aata: I reckon if the option is there, it might be possible. But I can't claim any experience (have only worked with dedicated wireless routers myself) [16:52] soundray you think this command makes sense "iwconfig wlan0 mode master key s:Prova" [16:53] soundray its s : P r o v a [16:53] SakuraKinomoto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=668748 [16:53] SakuraKinomoto scroll down to the section in red [16:54] aata: sorry, I can't answer that [16:54] soundray because i get an error when running it in the terminal [16:54] wenas [16:54] alguien usa giFT?

[16:57] png is bad because internet explorer has some issues with transparent pngs [16:57] i cant connect to Ares net with giFT... [16:57] Ziroday: nope. I got the same problem. [16:57] Jack_Sparrow: for any user, even root, cause this linux is inside a virtual machine, and it is showing me some real partitions, if host os and this virtual linux access the same partition at the same time.... === emo is now known as Guest64392 [16:57] miguelrsilva: does this always happen?

I'm not sure why, but it takes a lot of time to connect [16:58] Ziroday: yes, every time I tryed to install it (say three times today) [16:58] the ports that i put in its configuration are open [16:59] miguelrsilva: okay why dont you try the Check for Defects option [16:59] and gnutella and openft connect perfectly [16:59] Jack_Sparrow: maybe that's what i need, thank you a lot [16:59] but fasttrack and ares no [16:59] Ziroday: also the same problem... [16:59] is there an app that lists *all* packages so I can browse/install various packages?

[17:00] mistergibson: synaptic [17:00] thanks [17:00] yes [17:00] connecting all the time [17:00] miguelrsilva: okay it could just be a bad .iso file, try donwloading again, except try with a download manager [17:01] mistergibson: or if you need a console based, use aptitude === Jimboez is now known as stony [17:01] irega, let it go. if you have the ports open, it'll connect eventually. And when I say a long time, I mean "a LONG time" [17:01] !netsplit [17:01] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [17:01] Ziroday: i bilieve that the initramfs is to load the kernek into the ram memory, so perhaps i have some problem with that hardware... [17:01] jejeje [17:01] ok [17:01] miguelrsilva: are you using Wubi? [17:01] then i will waiting [17:01] bastid_raZor: if you're still around, i've a question about using scp from cli. i cant find in the man page how to throttle bandwidth. [17:01] thanks :) [17:01] i have problem with my modem ,, my modem is Conexant D400 Usb ,, my os is Kubuntu 8.04 64bit .. my lap is xps dell m1330 === pteague_laptop is now known as pteague_work [17:02] Ziroday: i've checked the md5sum of my iso [17:02] miguelrsilva: if it stops at busybox it is more indicative of a bad .iso, run a md5 check if you know how [17:02] miguelrsilva: ah so the md5sum is fine? [17:02] Ziroday: yes [17:02] miguelrsilva: are you using Wubi? [17:03] miguelrsilva, do you have a computer from mdg or some other low cost oem? [17:03] pteague_work: why not to use /away [17:03] Ziroday: but yet i hat to burn a second CD to get to this ponit. the firt one chached evean erlyer [17:03] miguelrsilva: Checking the md5 of the .iso and checking that it burned properly are two totally different things, did you choose the verify CD option from the boot menu? [17:04] Ziroday: sory. whats mdg? [17:04] miguelrsilva: hmm im not sure, in my opinion to be safe I would get another copy of the .iso and burn another cd [17:04] weezelding: /away ? for what? [17:04] miguelrsilva: that was Seven_Six_Two question [17:04] miguelrsilva: checking the md5 of the .iso means it downloaded properly. Just because it downloaded properly does not mean it burned properly. You should check the cd integrity from the boot menu [17:04] Ziroday: i think it is a low cost machine... :-O [17:05] miguelrsilva, yes. my gf had that problem on a low cost machine. she had to fiddle in the bios to get ubuntu to boot. otherwise it was all busybox all the time. [17:06] Anyone are useing FireStarter Firewall ? [17:06] miguelrsilva: freezing at busybox usually means that necessary files could not be loaded into the memory and therefore the livecd could not be loaded, this usually happens when there is a bad disc/.iso and the necessary file is missing or corrupted [17:06] I think it was a proprietary bios issue === linux_ is now known as Guest75821 [17:06] miguelrsilva: however it could also mean that you have some very incompatible hardware [17:06] definitely: what is your problem? [17:06] definitely: i've used [17:06] miguelrsilva: Again, you should really test the cd integrity from the live-cd itself, when it boots up pick test-cd integrity. Dropping to busy box usually points to a bad burn. If you're 100% sure the CD is good, then we could start trying to figure out what's up hardware wise, but you definitely should check the CD integrity first. [17:07] Does anyone know how to repair a bios [17:07] Ziroday: Just dont understand the events, what they exatcly means.. [17:07] Gyver, how is it broken? [17:07] definitely: gimme a sec to install it [17:07] I have a problem with munin. The munin node cannt connect to the server. This is what munin-node.log says: http://pastebin.com/m449db169 [17:08] ziroday: Ok, coz i am watching "Blocked Connection" and there seems very very much.. [17:08] the only screen that dispalys is please insert floppy [17:08] Ziroday: is there a way to check the CD from my windows machine? [17:08] Gyver: maybe you've run out of bios battery? [17:08] I am trying to find a toolchain and embedded linux for development on a http://www.vortex86sx.com/default.htm. I am new to embedded linux and it looks like most of the budding distros have died out. Could I use Ubuntu for this board, if so, where to start reading :) [17:08] Gyver, have you checked the boot order in BIOS? [17:08] Gyver: Before you reflash them, I would try switching your CMOS jumper to reset them. If that doesn't work, you'll have to flash them with the latest BIOS from manufacturer's website [17:08] miguelrsilva: besides the md5sum check nope, you could try a disc integrity check but that depends on your disc vurning app [17:08] you cant boot into bios at all just please insert floppy === _stony is now known as stony [17:09] Gyver, if you're not given the opportunity, then your bios is pooched. It should do the POST, then give you the option to enter the bios setup [17:09] definitely: just finished installing, I have a feeling that those are just your current connections, not what is blocked === Onebeer is now known as onebeer [17:10] I'm using find to find a bunch of files in a directory, is there a easy way to copy all those files into another directory? Without doing it 1 by 1. [17:10] so, dapper to hardy... I updated dapper fully but the update manager doesn't show an upgrade button [17:10] Gyver, do you get beeps when you turn your computer on? [17:10] definitely: it just shows you are blocking packets. that doesn't mean anything special. normal behaviour though. [17:10] definitely: however I am not sure [17:10] i know (sadly) that's why i asked about the broken bios === onebeer is now known as Onebeer [17:10] thnx [17:10] yes at first, but i attached the floppy cable and inserted a floppy drive [17:10] how do i get the vm machine able to access things like the usb drive and my actual harddrive? [17:11] yowshi: be more pedantic [17:11] the first screen was no cmos battery so i put one in [17:11] Gyver, the beeps at the beginning tell you what's wrong. [17:11] weezelding: huh? [17:11] which virtual machine [17:11] definitely: have a look http://www.fs-security.com/docs/events-page.php [17:11] hi [17:11] tell me more [17:11] michael: hi [17:11] i am running a windows box on innotek virtualbox [17:11] yowshi: The open source edition of virtualbox doesn't allow for direct disk passthrough to hard drive(this is dangerous and I wouldn't recommend it) the smarter thing to do would be to just setup a shared folder. For example I am sharing /home/$USER/share with my Windows guest OS in Virtualbox [17:12] ASULutzy: yeah i was kind of asking how to do that [17:12] for example using samba === zamanfou is now known as zamanf [17:12] take care guys ;) [17:12] bye bye [17:13] yowshi: When you open virtualbox there's an option called shared folders, just set one of those up :) [17:13] How do I get my NTFS auto-mount again, like in gutsy? [17:13] Gyver, one beep followed by 3, 4 or 5 beeps indicate motherboard problems. usually dma, cmos setup, timer or system bus [17:13] ASULutzy: ok did that now how do i get the guest os to use it? [17:13] anyone know how to fix a broken sound juicer? [17:13] ASULutzy: so i can put stuff from the virtual os into the shared folder [17:13] scorpionglitch: install a package called ntfs-config [17:14] Jack_Sparrow: on WOP install of .run files is it sh or sudo sh .. It's been a while since I delt with .run files. [17:14] how i can run program windows in ubuntu [17:14] thanks I'll try that [17:14] Gyver, if there are no beeps at all, it's either the processor, bios or motherboard. [17:14] anyone tried to install ubuntu Brainstorm locally? i need some help configuring it up. [17:14] it was a constant beep [17:14] the "output format" field is blank, and all types (i.e. lossy Ogg CD quality) are not there [17:14] yowshi: If you mouseover something it tells you how to do it. If it's windows you just use net view or whatever the command is [17:14] i tried a different user, same thing [17:14] Gyver, that's a power supply problem [17:14] michael: you mean can you run Windows XX in ubuntu? [17:14] so, dapper to hardy... I updated dapper fully but the update manager doesn't show an upgrade button... what did I miss (I am following community/HardyUpgrades)? [17:14] but it turns on just not to the post [17:14] i have a wireless keyboard plugged in, and when i try typing, many of the keys (although they do type the letter) act as "print screen"... how can i make it act like a normal keyboard? [17:15] Okay, I have a silly question. [17:15] michael: or do you want to run a windows program in Ubuntu? [17:15] Ziroday: is there a way to check if the CD has the same contents of the iso from windows? [17:15] run windows vista program in ubuntu [17:15] yowshi: Once you open your VM, click Devices, and then shared folders, right click on the shared folder, and hit "what's this" and it has info on how to set it up [17:15] Gyver, constant, or continuous? beep beep beep beep...etc or beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep [17:15] ASULutzy: i dont get the instructions when i mouse overed the shared folder entry [17:15] Ziroday: whouldn't it be enough? [17:15] Soul_Sample: what kink of keyboard? [17:15] *kind [17:15] Scunizi: trust wireles deskset 3010A [17:15] miguelrsilva: under brasaero it is called a "intergrity check" however I am not sure of an app that can do it in windwos [17:16] miguelrsilva: I recommend try a new iso on a new cd [17:16] ASULutzy: by which i mean i didnt understand the instruction i tried entering that command into the cli in windows with home\blah\sharedfolder in place of share [17:16] i rarely use it only as a remote to pause a movie, or to skip a part of it, but it's almost impossible because it keeps doing other things [17:16] michael: probably not but you could ask in #winehq or check prog. compatibility under wine on the Wine website. [17:16] maybe three beeps but like in tempo d d d 123 123 123 [17:16] I pressed the wrong button on my keyboard, and it looks like I am on another TTY now. I only have a command interface, no graphical interface. I am useing Ubuntu (ofcourse). How do I change back to the TTY where my graphical interface is ? 'cause the alt keys in combination with the F keys don't like to give me the good result. [17:16] Ziroday: ok, ty [17:16] niek: ctrl alt f7 [17:17] Soul_Sample: you might have to run keytouch to set it up correctly but be aware keytouch can cause shutdown issues with Hardy. [17:18] Gyver, oh ok. 3 followed by 3 is usually the keyboard or video controller on the mb [17:18] Scunizi: what kind of shutdown issues? [17:18] help with strange permission problem --> http://dpaste.com/59978/ [17:18] who girl [17:18] Gyver: your sure the cmos battery is in correctly? if so i would unplug computer and remove battery to clear cmos and try again [17:18] hi all, anyone suggest a good desktop search tool (thinking banshee here) and a well integrated front end for gnome - every time I've installed one in the past I've ended up with basically a mess [17:19] Soul_Sample: when I was running it for my Comfort Curve I had to ctrl+alt+f2 .. login.. then sudo shutdown now to get the system to shutdown correctly. [17:19] fg3: try just overwriting the permissions with the same [17:19] Ziroday, ok [17:19] i checked it to reset the bios but nothing [17:19] <_niek_> Thanks to the one that helped me with the TTY problem :) [17:19] elliotjhug: there is one built into ubuntu called tracker [17:19] <_niek_> it was ctrl+alt+f7 :) [17:19] ASULutzy: i cant even get this thing to be able to access the bloody usb drive [17:19] <_niek_> ah, Ziroday was it, thank you Ziroday [17:19] _niek_: no problem, have fun [17:19] Soul_Sample: you might just try different keyboard profiles in System/Keyboard.. that might work [17:19] <_niek_> ;) [17:20] How do I run a ".run" file? [17:20] Gyver: which bios award ami? [17:20] so i thought the bios was damaged went to the manufacturer site and tried to flash it but no luck (no experience) [17:20] Ziroday: ah ok, I've heard of that one before - what's the generally used way to search using it? (and configure it so it indexes all the right places) [17:20] Scunizi: tried that, and didn't really work. it's especially annoying that the arrow keys act as print screen when using it. [17:20] Ziroday, same --> http://dpaste.com/59980/ [17:20] Scunizi: ./file.run [17:20] elliotjhug: erm it should be auto indexing, its under System > Preferences > Tracker somethinoranother [17:21] who are lived in indonesia [17:21] Soul_Sample: have you tried the forums yet to see if there are any others with the same keyboard? [17:21] if it doesn't work: chmod +x file.run [17:21] weezelding: thanks [17:21] np [17:21] award [17:21] Ziroday: cool - thanks [17:21] fg3: erm try making it all rwx and then limiting it?, I sometimes get these and I usually just set them to all, and then back and usually works [17:22] Ziroday, I'll try [17:22] hello to all [17:22] elliotjhug: have fun [17:22] fg3: okay [17:22] SrgSantos54: hi [17:22] i have a question how do i place my wireless card in monitor mode ?!? [17:22] SrgSantos54: to do what? [17:22] greetings; for some reason my other laptop fails to obtain IP addresses for network interfaces (wired/wireless); other machine with less updated ubuntu works fine with the same uplink [17:23] Gyver: here are the Award BIOS Beep Codes: http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm [17:23] it was an hp pavillion award bios , it had a check sum error [17:23] Ziroday, not working - could it be selinux or similar? [17:23] SrgSantos54: You want it in promiscuous mode - forget how but that'll be the google term [17:23] how would I upgrade/downgrade/repair the installation on the broken laptop? [17:23] thanks i never would have thought of this [17:24] the thing is my fiend and i are trying to see if wep can actually be broken in my own network [17:24] hello im back [17:24] SrgSantos54: it can [17:24] SrgSantos54: what card? [17:24] hylje: downgrade is not actually supported [17:24] fg3: dunno not familiar with selinux sorry [17:24] so count it out [17:24] Scunizi: maybe this will help to find the problem - when the num lock is off, the arrow keys work okay, but when it's on, then they act like print screen [17:24] mmm i have no idea it is integrated in my desktop [17:24] where can i find that [17:24] Ziroday, so weird, I can edit a file in there but cannot create a file [17:25] SrgSantos54: pastebin lspci [17:25] ?!? [17:25] weezelding: that's fine, i'm just concerned about having functional internets [17:25] SrgSantos54, don't listen to elliotjhug, he's wrong. there's a nice script in the aircrack-ng package that's named "airmon-ng". it sets your wifi card to monitor mode [17:25] fg3: yeah it is strange [17:25] all of the rest of the computers on my LAN are windows and in the workgroup "SG" how can I place this ubuntu machine into the same "SG" workgroup? [17:25] hylje: define 'broken' [17:25] magnetron can you help me with that plz ?!? [17:25] e siapa ae org ind lam knal [17:26] looksl like cpu or memory from the site (thnks legend) [17:26] SrgSantos54, but not all cards' drivers are compatible with monitor mode [17:26] SrgSantos54, install the aircrack package and run the "airmon-ng" command in a terminal. that's all [17:26] hi all, what is the command to monitor system activity? my usb flash does not show up [17:26] mmm where can i check what card i have ? [17:26] weezelding: network interfaces fail to obtain settings automatically (haven't checked manual; the provider has dhcp) [17:26] cecko, dmesg [17:26] cecko, or lsusb [17:26] SrgSantos54, lspci [17:27] hylje: dmesg |grep -i eth [17:27] hi guys [17:27] Hrrm... anyone know any way to turn *OFF* openoffice's annoying press alt to automagically select the pulldown menu ? [17:27] does it say it finds a card? [17:27] whats the torrent for ubuntu 8.04? [17:27] is it possible to um [17:27] that "feature" makes me want to punch a baby [17:27] boot a kernel from a small (128mb) usb stick, then immediatelly call pivot_root to switch the system to a SDHC flash card? [17:27] Soul_Sample: AH! you might be the victim of the notorious assistive tech issue I had.. try ctrl+alt+numlock or ctrl+shift+numlock.. or check System/Pref/Assistive Tech for things that shouldn't be on.. on my sys the number keys wouldn't work until I did this.. they acted as arrow/cursor keys. [17:27] Seven_Six_Two am in the lspci and now ?!? [17:28] weezelding: i don't have that laptop up atm (a single power cord here), but the network applet appeared to find the wired network (not wireless however) [17:28] !pastebin > SrgSantos54 [17:28] SrgSantos54, please see my private message [17:28] SrgSantos54, do you see anything that looks like a wireless card? [17:28] how come some old general commands like "del" doesnt exsist in ubuntu? [17:28] greenfishx3, try rm [17:28] Scunizi: yes, i had that problem, killed all assistive technologies. i should maybe note that my wired keyboard behaves well, it's only the wireless one that's confusing arrow keys for print screen [17:28] Can anyone in here help me with a gnome problem [17:28] weezelding: i'll check up however, lemme find a solution for that [17:28] greenfishx3, because this isn't DOS [17:29] Bodsda: yes I know hehe, but I mean why is "del" not there? I know del is just rm -i [17:29] greenfishx3, "del" was never a part of any unix. [17:29] greenfishx3: I think that was a dos command, you can always alias it [17:29] greenfishx3, and you would need to complain to bash, its not ubuntu's fault. [17:29] ohhhhhhh [17:29] greenfishx3: you might do this way: alias del="/bin/rm -i" [17:29] Soul_Sample: sorry beyond that I'm stuck.. [17:29] sorry my bad then, I just assumed it was a function in the past, thanks weezelding [17:29] Bodsda: ubuntu ships the bash and its environment, it's not too much of a stretch [17:29] hylje, what? [17:29] Scunizi: okay, thank you... i'll sort it out someday :D [17:30] this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/24031/ [17:30] hoarycripple the flash drive says: unable to read partition table [17:30] greenfishx3: just create alias like weezelding said [17:30] anyone here using a VNC to connect to the ubuntu box with a windows box? [17:30] Bodsda: nevermind [17:30] in .bashrc [17:30] Scunizi: is there maybe a way to see a log of what keys have been pressed, so that i can see what's really happening behind the scenes? [17:30] tvrko yeah thanks [17:30] hoarycripple is that very bad? [17:30] can anyone help me with a gnome problem [17:30] what peablem [17:30] how to make my computer auto mount my drives on boot up [17:30] wildman4god: it would maybe help us figure out if we can help if you would be so nice to state the problem [17:31] fma243, you need to add a line in /etc/fstab [17:31] fma243: look into /etc/fstab [17:31] ndiswrapper and NetworkManager don't work fine together =/ [17:31] Soul_Sample: there are a couple of programs that will do this for you.. you'll need to google them though or ask an open question here.. I've forgotten the names of them.. sometimes you have to use both.. occationally dmesg at terminal will reveal things. [17:31] weezelding: hold on, i'll shut down this machine and use my phone for irc instead [17:31] according to "linux cookbook 2001" del is a unix funciton [17:31] fma243: check on google about /etc/fstab [17:31] what line should i add [17:31] SrgSantos54, I don't see a wireless card there. is it usb? [17:31] hylje: ok [17:31] junix-br: thats cause ndiswrapper is a mess [17:31] halp [17:31] my dell latitude d600 with ubuntu 8.04 updated some software after I enabled the bottom two options in the update tab of software sources (backports and something else) I then did a restart but gnome won't start I just get a cli and I try to manually start gnome but it fails [17:31] LunarLinuxKitten: we need to know how [17:31] Hey guys [17:32] Zigtown_, humm [17:32] del doesn't work for me [17:32] greenfishx3: linux is not unix [17:32] how do i add write access to something [17:32] weezelding: I know that [17:32] Got a weird problem here...I upgradded from Feisty, ot Gutsy, and now I get "No screens found" [17:32] but the author said its used in linu as well [17:32] linux* [17:32] Ziroday, and there is a solution? [17:32] neither my openbsd has that command [17:32] Well this stinks [17:32] just use rm [17:32] I KNOW that [17:32] :) [17:32] why not to do alias? [17:32] problem solved. [17:32] fma243, look at the existing lines in your /etc/fstab to help understand what you need to add [17:32] Seven_six_two > no it is a integrated wifi card [17:33] It wasnt a problem in the first place [17:33] junix-br: dont know sorry, I am aware that ndiswrapper does not play nice with anything [17:33] !who | weezelding [17:33] ? [17:33] Im just curious why Michael Stutz claims its used in linux [17:33] he started using linux in 1990 [17:33] bots a bit slow today [17:33] my wifi doesn't work with free drivers :( [17:33] The partioner won't recognize my partition when the sata controller is set to IDE mode. It will recognize it in AHCI mode but then my vista installation won't boot :< any suggestions? [17:33] SrgSantos54, is there a switch on the laptop to turn it on and off? because there isn't one listed in the devices (even one that linux doesn't recognize) [17:33] greenfishx3: Because he's wrong in the book. It happens. [17:33] yeah [17:34] del is a dos command [17:34] maybe he had some alias in his bash profile [17:34] :) [17:34] and forgot about it [17:35] is there a ubuntu support chat with less people in it i'm getting lost [17:35] Hi all. My "Add / Remove Programs" menu item went away. I suspect maybe my sudo settings could have caused this. True? [17:35] I see [17:35] I've tried to restore them to default. Sudo is working fine, for most things, but I'm not sure why that menu item went away. [17:35] 5.6.2 "A Safe Way to Remove a file" [17:35] codazoda: doubt it, you probably deleted it from your menu [17:35] I don't think so. [17:36] greenfishx3: http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_intro/app2.html [17:36] like I said its not a problem I was just curious, regardless thanks for telling me it never was a nix command [17:36] the bots dead? [17:36] weezelding: problematic lines: drivers sd and sr need updating, bus_type methods suggested in message [17:36] Ziroday: In fact, I see it if I go to edit the menu's. But, if I check the box, it only stays checked for 2 seconds, then unchecks itself. [17:36] i think it was off check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/24033/ [17:36] legend2440: ah yes, obviously the author was wrong [17:36] hi, the networkmanager service leaks memory, so i have to restart it once in a while, but i didn't find specific service in /etc/init.d for networkmanager, so have to restart dbus, but then it restarts guidance/power, and it breaks the systray icon [17:36] can any one help me with my problem about mounting hard disks on boot up because on the web it looks that it can be dangerous [17:36] how to restart just networkmanager service? [17:36] codazoda: don't know, but why not use synaptic manager [17:36] ? [17:36] codazoda: open a terminal [17:36] hylje: sd and sr? [17:36] grrrr net use fails even when i try to set up a network by that name [17:37] Seven_Six_two > it a desktop pc [17:37] Well, the synaptic manager icon is also missing. [17:37] fma243, pastebin your fstab file, the output of sudo fdisk -l && sudo blkid [17:37] moshe_: sudo etc/init.d/networking restart [17:37] codazoda: and type in sudo gnome-app-installer [17:37] weezelding: yes, that is what it reads [17:37] how to paste bin it? [17:37] tvrtko: this restarts only interfaces, not networkmanager [17:37] codazoda: does the program you are looking for popup? [17:37] weezelding: eth0 is e100 [17:37] !paste [17:37] !svn [17:37] damn its dead i forgot [17:37] hylje: ok, it's supported very well [17:37] Bodsda: bots arent working, its being fixed [17:37] ifconfig up [17:38] fma243, go to 'paste.ubuntu.com [17:38] greenfishx3: It claims its just an alias [17:38] Seven_six _two would this be it FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems FW323 (rev 70) [17:38] Ziroday, bots, you mean no bot is working? or just ubottu?

[17:41] SrgSantos54, sorry, that's not a valid argument for anything. do you have an antenna sticking out of the back of your computer? [17:41] Ziroday: I just tried "sudo apt-get install gnome-app-installer" and it can't find the package. Might it be part of something else or another name? [17:41] Ziroday, I think that's it. Thanks dude! [17:41] evilbug, ok, will do, thanks [17:41] codazoda: its gnome-app-install not installer [17:42] fma243, i also need you to pastebin the output of this command sudo fdisk -l && sudo blkid [17:42] on terminal right [17:42] fma243, correct [17:42] Seven_Six_Two > yes is wlan [17:42] carrera: have fun [17:42] codazoda, tab complete is your friend, write half of the package name then hit tab twice [17:42] Ziroday: Okay. I can run it from the terminal now. Still not in my menu's, for some reason. [17:43] codazoda: apt-get install synaptic [17:43] SrgSantos54, and it's enabled in the bios? Was it working in linux before, or just windows? [17:43] greenfishx3: It does, but its not. http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/unix_for_dos_users.html is the first reference I can find on google about it [17:43] codazoda: or use apt-cache search term [17:43] codazoda: try checking the tick box again, and did you uninstall a bunch of stuff? [17:43] linux [17:43] is there a better place to go to ask my question? [17:43] here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/24035/ [17:43] tico: about what? [17:43] Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu but have been a debian user for years... what are my options for a high-mem kernel for a 32bit system? apt-cache searching hasn't been fruitful... I have 8G of ram [17:44] Bodsda: Thanks, I didn't realize tab complete could be used with apt-get. [17:44] fma243, and which drive do you want automounted? [17:44] tico: i cannot parse a question [17:44] Ziroday: I didn't uninstall anything, that I can recall. [17:44] all of them [17:44] codazoda, it can be used for most things, including firefox's url bar [17:44] what are my options for a high-mem kernel on a 32bit system? [17:44] codazoda: did reticking the checkbox in the menu editor make add/remove programs reappear? [17:44] fma243, then your gonna have to write each line, can i pm you? [17:44] codazoda: try installing synaptic ---> sudo apt-get install synaptic [17:44] sure [17:45] Ziroday: Although I can do it from the terminal now, I still can't get it in the menu. When I check it, it unchecks itself, still. synaptic is already installed. [17:45] tvrtko: Says synaptic is already installed. [17:45] Okay, so my real problem... Which I suspect is related. [17:45] codazoda: not sure what you have done there [17:45] tico: it's kernel related [17:45] When I try to add a printer, it prompts for a password. [17:45] how do i close all apllications? [17:45] Flannel: i find it strange that dir is not listed under unix commands yet dir works in ubuntu === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [17:46] codazoda: etit menus and add it aggan, or create shortcut on desktop :) [17:46] weezelding, right, that's why I asked "what are my options for a high-mem kernel" [17:46] tvrtko: I don't mind using the command line. [17:46] Do i need to care about getting hacked, when i am useing Ubuntu [17:46] ? [17:46] how do i end all applications? [17:46] skate92: hit the power button :P [17:46] skate92, shutdown -h now [17:46] definitely: you always have to take care [17:46] lol [17:47] definitely: as long as you have a secure password, and dont leave stuff like ssh open to the outside world and keep your system updated then nope [17:47] definitely, you need to worry about getting hacked when running any network-connected OS [17:47] Im reading the book right now, he claims if you delete a hard link+original file both files gets deleted? example test a (source) test b (hard link) I tried removing test b, and guess what a is still there [17:47] Ziroday: i'm even paranoid while using openbsd :) [17:47] salut les gars [17:48] weezelding: lol [17:48] legend2440: Its not a command, its an alias [17:48] Ziroday: :D [17:48] hehe [17:48] weezelding, should I assume that no one here knows the answer to my question? [17:48] I think my printer issue is related, however. If I add a printer, select it from the list, select the HP driver, give it a name, and then it prompts with "password for joel on localhost?". I enter my password, and it asks again. Ideas? [17:48] greenfishx3, I suggest a different book. that one seems to have lots of bad info. maybe you should try "linux administration guide" [17:48] tico: i still cannot find out what you are looking for [17:48] hi [17:48] network fails to work after driver goes up before getting Ip/settings info. concerned driver is e100 and a intel wireless driver [17:48] tico: high mem? how much [17:48] Hello, while my wireless connection works on Ubuntu, it is noticeably more laggier, especially because I can't even enter an online game (through game) because of high lag. This would seldom happen if I played it in Windows. How do I debug this problem? [17:48] Flannel: oh ok that explains it. would that be in .bashrc? [17:48] tico: you can always come back later, but you may have more luck on the forums or with googling [17:48] weezelding, 8G like I said [17:48] through wine* [17:48] >4 is all that matters though I think [17:48] legend2440: It is [17:49] Flannel: ok thanks [17:49] Seven_Six_Two: so this is yet another bad part from the author? creating a hard link and removing it will NEVER remove the source as well? [17:49] Ziroday, I've been googling :) irc is always a last resort [17:49] tico: compile your own kernel to support it? [17:49] I'm going to reboot, now that I've got sudo working... TTYL [17:49] salut les gars [17:49] tico: and pack it up same way than in debian [17:49] weezelding, sure, I was hoping to do things the Ubutnu way [17:49] then whats the diff between a hard link vs symbolic? I thought the main diff was that a hard link deletes both files, while a symbolic link retains the source? [17:50] tico: I know what you are asking for, I have some debian systems. But I doubt there is a 'ubuntu' way in this case [17:50] and the ubuntu wiki says something like avoid doing your own kernel at all costs [17:50] ok thanks [17:50] have a good day all [17:50] tico: you too [17:50] no, wireless is Intensil Prism 2.5 which had a working driver earlier [17:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [17:51] damn, he went [17:51] weezelding: youre too late [17:51] then whats the diff between a hard link vs symbolic? I thought the main diff was that a hard link deletes both files, while a symbolic link retains the source? [17:51] weezelding: but I think he had already found that wiki [17:52] hope so [17:52] greenfishx3: a hard link is another reference to the same file, and cannot point across filesystems. a symbolic link simply contains the path to another file as its contents, and is treated specially by the operating system [17:52] greenfishx3: the hard link increases a counter in the fs and points directly to the file, a symbolic link points to another filesystem pointer [17:52] greenfishx3: deleting a hard link removes that link to the file. so long any of the hard links stand, the file exists [17:52] hi everybody, i m using hardy, but have problem to use my headphone for VOIP, anybody can help? [17:53] hello boys and girls, i need a simple desktop or task panel link to auto open a thunderbird e-mail with subject and recipiant already filled in? I have one on my windoze PC. [17:55] hi ppl, got feisty that can ping eth0 but can't ping router behind eth0 and router is to internal network, any ideas? [17:55] i thought thunderbird was the same across platforms [17:55] M1DLG: check the docs/help for thunderbird command line arguments, use that to create a list of arguments that satisfy your need; make the link exectue it [17:55] the shortcut I had in windows doesn work [17:55] hi everybody, i m using hardy, but have problem to use my headphone for VOIP, anybody can help? [17:55] ta [17:56] thank you hylja [17:57] Can someone tell me if it is safe to write on a CD with Sharpie? [17:57] So, I'm back. Still having various permissions problems. [17:57] yes, Sharpie is what you want to use [17:58] If I go to user settings, click on "unlock", I get "could not authenticate, an unexpected error has occured". [17:58] kk thanks.

I just want to make sure I didn't break something there.

[17:59] sorry for the inconvenience [18:00] i have the gutsy live cd [18:00] ok does anyone know of a good grub editor [18:00] http://lowendmac.com/lab/03/0114.html [18:00] mezmer: gedit :) [18:01] grub editor?

I have the nvidia-glx-new running correctly [18:03] neurobuntu and composite is an extension of that [18:03] neurobuntu /join #compiz [18:03] Jack_Sparrow: in #compiz they say its because I have xinerama enabled [18:04] I just went there. thanks [18:04] is there a good VNC in the packages? [18:04] neurobuntu You cannot have xinerama and nvidia [18:04] and run composite [18:04] asmo[B] ... already installed on default install :) [18:04] hiya ppl, why can't i ping my internal router via eth0? [18:04] grobda24: what's it called? [18:04] neurobuntu It just wont work [18:04] BlackRece: that's a rather open-ended question [18:04] ok thanks [18:05] grobda24: and is it a VNC server? [18:05] asmo[B] .. apps --> internet --> remort desktop [18:05] remote* [18:05] anyone help with lvm??

I think it is VNC. [18:05] So I am doing a rsync -a to a remote host via ssh, and sometimes I get a error of: "delete_file: rmdir Directory not empty" Im confused why its trying to delete, rsync should just transfer changes from src to dst, no --delete flag i am using. Could anyone shed some light? [18:06] grobda24: it's just a viewer... I need a server that I can connect to with any other VNC client... a lot of them seem to make it so that the client has to be the same as the server [18:07] asmo[B], Huh.. Ive never had any issues with about any client i grab.. they all seem to work with about any server i try to connect to [18:07] anybody here use synergy? [18:07] asmo[B], i tend to use the vnc4server package and viewer however. [18:07] asmo[B] .. really. lol. I wondered why I could'nt connect back into my Ubuntu box :P thanks for that [18:07] neurobuntu, its better to ask the real question.. not 'does anyone...' [18:07] sipior: I have a cable modem into this feisty box via eth1, then via eth0 to a linksys (wrt54gs v5.1) router to wired xp pc and 2 wireless xp laptops. but i can't ping router from feisty box and don't get traffic from eth0 to router. any ideas? [18:07] how do i set it so that ubuntu saves its /home stuff on a specified partition? [18:07] Unislash, mount /home to the new partition. [18:08] Dr_willis: vnc4server shows up in the applications list after installing the package? [18:08] Unislash, or link it to the new partition mount point [18:08] asmo[B], its a server and does not have an icon. :) [18:08] thanks :) [18:08] BlackRece: why don't you just connect the modem to the router directly? [18:08] I changed my systems hostname to ubuntell. In /etc/hosts I have "localhost" as 127.0.0.1 and "ubuntell" as 127.0.1.1. I think ubuntell should also be 127.0.0.1. Can I just change this in the hosts file? Or, should I configure it elsewhere? [18:08] Dr_willis: where do I go to configure it then? [18:09] I used synergy a ton under Gutsy but now under Hardy I find that the client gets really jumpy and tends to lag everynow and then.... I head that if you run synergyc with sudo it should take care of it, but I'm still getting some lag.... anybody else experience this or know how to fix it? [18:09] heard* [18:09] i can't download anything it says i need to close all my applications how do i do that? [18:09] BlackRece: could you pastebin the output of the following commands: "/sbin/ifconfig", "/sbin/route -n" [18:09] skate92: What are you trying to close? [18:09] asmo[B], the various vnc servers have config files in the user home dir they read, or the system wide config files. The man pages normally detail what the specific config files are. [18:09] codazoda: That should be correct, make sure that you've also modified /etc/hostname [18:09] codazoda: Rather, what you have there is correct, no need to change it [18:09] asmo[B], or give it command line options [18:10] guys help me..i deleted my title bar in my windows..how can i bring it back...there is no close or minimize button on my windows... [18:10] software management tool [18:10] Yup, etc/hostname is okay. [18:10] !vnc [18:10] guys help me..i deleted my title bar in my windows..how can i bring it back...there is no close or minimize button on my windows.. [18:10] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [18:10] skate92: software management tool? Is that Synaptic?

[18:13] mien07, what do you mean by 'delete titlebar' perhaps you are confiusing the issue. if the window manager crashes you will lose all the window decoration. Normally this is due to compiz crashing, running metacity should restore it. It may be easier to just logout/back in [18:14] BlackRece: yes, I just had to make some changes to my router set up. PortForward which ever port you use to your home server. For example, I foward port 80 (which is http) [18:14] sipior: Also having trouble adding printers. I get prompted for a password, enter it, then the prompt appears again. Also, The "Add/Remove Programs" menu item is missing. Something on my system can't authenticate me. Sudo works from the command line. [18:14] My atheros card still dont work [18:14] xD [18:14] BlackRece: most new routers have this option. [18:14] ok so what am i supposed to do?

[18:53] BlackRece, sipior: firestarter is just a front end for iptables, if you want to make sure that iptables aren't blocking any traffic use sudo iptables -L to check how they're configured [18:53] i don't have a floppy drive :) [18:54] ASULutzy: yeah, i know, thanks.

[18:55] i would like to apply the fix on this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebluetooth/+bug/175743 [18:55] Launchpad bug 175743 in linux "Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity" [Medium,Fix committed] [18:55] napauleon What is the issue [18:55] sipior: ie, closing firestarter doesn't close/stop the firewall ;) [18:55] ASULutzy: yep [18:56] Jack_Sparrow: check the link. issue #175743 in linux "Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity" [18:56] ASULutzy: but i'm quite sure there's a "Hey, turn off the firewall!" button. [18:56] sipior all changes made with firestarter are still in effct [18:56] napauleon I dont do bluetooth.. sorry [18:56] sipior: Maybe, I would still check sudo iptables -L and make sure there are no rules still in effect [18:56] Jack_Sparrow: there's no way to drop all rules from the application itself? that seems poor... [18:56] hello [18:57] is there someone here who has experience with FreeNX? [18:57] Jack_Sparrow: this would probably explain my preference for vanilla iptables [18:57] sipior: Again, firestarter is just a frontend, the firewall is iptables, man iptables to see how to actually use it :) sudo iptables -L will tell you what rules are in effect [18:57] sipior you can reset them all, but firestarter is just a management tool. [18:57] Jack_Sparrow: the question is more about applying a patch [18:57] ASULutzy: Jack_Sparrow yes, thank you, i'm well aware [18:57] seems to be in hardy-proposed but i dont see it in my updates [18:57] Does anybody here know how to deal with "unmet dependency" issues?

[19:08] greenfishx3: dvd::rip or k9copy [19:08] greenfishx3: So you want to convert the files to .avi ? [19:08] greenfishx3, DD but, im assuming your HD is > dvd [19:09] i read that backwards [19:09] ASULutzy: no, just rip my data dvd over to my hdd [19:09] trashguy: no sir my HD is my HD [19:09] greenfishx3, you can DD to an ISO === belendax|away is now known as belendax [19:09] ASULutzy: You realize how unethical it'd be to get free CDs to turn around and sell? If you want to profit by Ubuntu, sell a support service. But I don't think that taking all the GPL'd work and selling it commercially is in the interest of the developers, unless you pay or donate to those developers. [19:09] whats dd? [19:09] greenfishx3: I always take "rip" to mean take the DVD files and make them compressed .avi's, if you just want to make an iso you can just use dd in a command line [19:10] greenfishx3, a command that comes with base linux [19:10] greenfish3: if it's data dvd then why can't you just put it in and copy the contents to your hd? [19:10] laslavic: I didn't say what would make me feel warm at night, I said that it's not illegal to sell Ubuntu CD's for 20 bucks a pop. [19:10] no no I dont want to make any iso lol..

[19:10] greenfishx3, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=2048 something along that lines [19:10] ;) [19:10] greenfishx3: I'm not understanding what you mean by "rip" [19:10] joanki123 http://paste.cbwhiz.com/268 === benzs_s is now known as benzss [19:11] jack_sparrow: did you get my pastebin? :) [19:11] greenfishx3: If they're just data DVD's why can't you just cp -r them [19:11] joanki123 I think I got everything edited back into it [19:11] ASULutzy: because copy only share one function, if the dvd is scratched copy will give up after x sessions, while ripping gives you more options [19:11] Unislash did you see my note awhile back.. [19:11] Unislash2 put a # in front of line 12 [19:11] greenfishx3, yea what ASULutzy said cp -r /media/cdrom /place/to/copy [19:11] k :) [19:11] (and no, but thanks :) ) [19:12] Unislash lets see if that clears the error [19:12] trashguy but what if it fails? [19:12] k... one sec, i'll check [19:12] greenfishx3, then your data is lost [19:12] no no [19:12] i dont think you can "rip" data cds [19:12] Unislash mount -a or log out and back in [19:12] greenfishx3: you could use dd to send it to an ISO, then extract the iso, that might work better [19:12] trashguy correct [19:12] Hey guys. I installed oss by the deb pkg first but it didn't install properly. now i used the tar which you just copy all the needed files to the appropriate dirs. the sound works but not properly. it will only work for one application at a time and i noticed that when i open up ossxmix all the controls aren't there.

If you want to try dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso feel free, but that won't magically fix scratches [19:13] gallez my "freaking" problem is , read above [19:13] thats not what im saying [19:14] min dyou DD 4+ gigs will take some time [19:14] have you ever tried to rip an audio cd before with EAC? theres lots of triggers if it fails to read to a certain sector on a cd/dvd [19:14] ASULutzy correct. it will not fix scratches but can with a small block size read what is readable [19:14] guys can I update my Gutsy to Hardy without reformatting? [19:14] Jack_Sparrow, how did the things get edited out in the first place? [19:14] greenfishx3, yes, but thats an audio stream [19:14] Jack_Sparrow: Any idea what the blocksize defaults to? I saw in your command you gave bs=2k [19:14] thats not a file system [19:14] trashguy hmm I might have been wrong then [19:14] joanki123 They were unaccessible, so they were rem'd out [19:14] greenfishx3: The dvdisaster package might help you read your damaged disk.

[19:45] i've downloaded the firefox-3.0.tar.bz2 file from the firefox website [19:45] wtf was screenname57648's problem ? [19:45] can anyone tell me what i do with it now?

[19:46] ikonia, mostly research, wiki, help, irc, mailing lists, forums, google, not really debugging in the running-in-a-debugger sense [19:46] EvilDennisR: thats not it's normal meaning as we both know [19:46] jessica, type "apt-get check" [19:46] melter: so you've been trying for weeks but not actually done anything [19:46] ikonia: Its an acronym, it can mean anything. You have a dirty mind. [19:46] ikonia, i've tried various config file changes [19:46] Hey [19:46] i have virtual server set to the ip address of the pc its connect to u know..im real sure its open im wondering is there a firewall in this pc? cuz id indt install ntohing to allow firewalls [19:46] EvilDennisR, do you have any idea how i get it if i have gutsy? [19:46] melter: right so - how are you identifying machines to the server for hostname setting - mac address or dns ? [19:46] ikonia, dns [19:47] joanki123: No idea.. it might be in backports [19:47] adityag: See if the device appears from the command : lsusb [19:47] i've downloaded the firefox-3.0.tar.bz2 file from the firefox website - can anyone tell me how to install it? [19:47] melter: ok, so how does the dhcp server know which host is mapped to dns ? [19:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24051/ [19:47] I keep getting "Unable to mount drive: Windows" but someone helped me mount it before and I'm sure we set it up so it'd mount automatically on start-up [19:47] joanki123, double click the binary file [19:47] I have a winmodem and I'm using the martian drivers. The dev is ttySM0 and I'm using it with efax. If I try to access the device as non-root, I get a permission denied so I do a chmod 666 and the device works as non-root. The only problem is that the chmod doesn't stick so if I get a fax I need to chmod again to gain access as non-root. Anyone know how to fix this? [19:47] Hi guys. Got trouble with my sound card: It won't work anymore... [19:48] jessica: Why are you root out of curiosity? It'd be much safer to use your regular login and use sudo [19:48] ikonia, no clue, i just need to run a dhcp client, get the ip address and hostname [19:48] i did [19:48] sudo -i [19:48] :) [19:48] m-c: ok, let me check out [19:48] joanki123: Use the firefox in Synaptic repository, for the best ubuntu integration. [19:48] I want to trouble shoot it but I don't know where to start. [19:48] melter: ok - so to get a hostname you need to identify to the dhcp server - the most common method is mac addresses [19:48] m-c, it doesn't work [19:48] melter: I assume you want a machine to maintain a specific hostname [19:48] not assign a random hostname [19:48] jessica: There's a dpkg command I think you can run to fix it, but I don't remember offhand, have you tried restarting? ;) [19:49] ikonia, not really, it can change on reboot, that's ok [19:49] HI I am having trouble with my Geforce 7150, it is stuch at 640x480 [19:49] yes [19:49] !aptfix [19:49] 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 » [19:49] melter: so what is the hostname getting set to ? [19:49] So what's the command to mount a drive? [19:49] ill try it but i think i allready have [19:49] ikonia, it's not getting set at all [19:49] melter: do you have reverse dns setup, that needs to be setup to get a hostname [19:49] VampBoy: what drivers did you use? [19:49] I have a Canon Lide 20 scanner. When I use xscan it'll only scan a certain a certain area of the scanner (202*150). How do I adjust this so I can scan 4*6 pictures?

[19:50] ikonia, no, dhcpcd [19:50] I am having trouble configuring dovecot and postfix... anyone here an expert? [19:50] I'm still curious what that privacy violation screennameguy was talking about [19:50] VampBoy: did you remove previous installations before hand?

I didn't have envy before this [19:50] Enter text hehire... [19:50] hi [19:51] melter: do you get an ip address- just not hostname ? [19:51] ikonia, yes, exactly [19:51] VampBoy: both, but if no envy then obviously just the nvidia drivers [19:51] melter: one moment please. [19:51] hmmm no i didn't [19:51] trashguy: I just followed a guide to get everything setup, and in the logs i see that it's recieving mail OK, but it's not creating directories for domains or users in the mail home dir [19:51] jessica: Hmm, have you tried sudo apt-get -f install ?

[19:59] joanki123: hardy is later, so... [19:59] joanki123: on hardy firefox3 is standart [20:00] ASULutzy: when I do ssh -CX nothing happens... gives me a list of ssh commands [20:00] joanki123: there is that thing that informs you about the updates [20:00] can someone explain how to use cpio? cpio -i somefile does.. nothing?

[22:19] oh, he means plugin just for the song name [22:19] joaopinto: you were helping me before.. i tried resintalling the linux restric. drivers, but that didnt do anything. i also tried reinstalling the linux header [22:19] sorry about ASULutzy was afk [22:19] joaopinto: Yeah [22:20] joaopinto: I think he means something that prints out "definately is listening to Britney Spears - One more time" to a channel [22:20] cara: I already gave the solution up there a few lines below that ;) [22:20] crackhead, I am out of suggestions, I dont have any experience with wifi break&fix [22:20] Slart: not working, something is locked [22:20] some_person: five minutes ago i did fix broken headers on synaptic. then my wireless stopped working it seems. the network-admin doesnt see the wireless card/connection anymore. however the restric driver program in "system" does seem to see the intel 8945 pro wireless card.. and advises it should be enabled (which it is) [22:20] anyone for this installing from cd withing linux? [22:20] Bax_: do you have a synaptics window running somewhere? [22:20] I am running a dual monitor setup using xrandr, how can I check/increase the refresh rate on one of my monitors? [22:21] sup y0. [22:21] ey up [22:21] cara: Ah, looks like both use the same. Ok do this: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk && wget http://myspamb8.googlepages.com/R151517-pruned.zip && unzip R151517-pruned.zip [22:21] cara: Then just click System -> administration -> windows wireless drivers, and point it to the .inf file that that command will unzip [22:21] crackhead: is there a way to undo those fixes? It's a possibility that your problem may be the result of your fix === Bodsda|AFK is now known as Bodsda [22:21] some_person: um, well i tried reinstalling the programs that seemed to be mentioned.. [22:22] ola q tal [22:22] I'm trying to use the proprietary ATI drivers. After a little bit of work I got them to be listed on the "Hardware Drivers" menu. They are "enabled" but also have the status of "Not in use". How do I make then in use? [22:22] ok [22:22] that almost worked [22:22] crackhead: but other then that, you can't? [22:22] noor: Click on that entry and tell it to use them? o.O [22:22] is there an alternative to compiz which gives just minimal effects & wont affect video? [22:22] noor, define "little bit of work" ? It should be as simple as clicking the enable button :P [22:22] Slart: yeah I did, closed that window. But now it's saying it couldn't find the package and the ccsm command still isn't working [22:22] some, i dont know [22:23] L815: nothing that gives you 3d windows and such.. there is a small composite backend that basically just gives you transparency but nothing else [22:23] Bax_: ok.. sounds like it isn't available in feisty after all.. any special reason for not upgrading? [22:23] crackhead: that sucks. [22:23] Slart, i'm looking for something minimal like min and max windows [22:23] Does anyone know how to install ubuntu from within another linux operating system? [22:24] you can use vmware [22:24] os virtualization [22:24] L815: min and max windows? you want the animations? [22:24] Slart: don't know how/too complicated/just rather not [22:24] Slart, yah I guess just that [22:24] mattiniraq: Do you mean using virtualbox? [22:24] Hi [22:24] L815: nope.. I don't know of anything else than compiz that does that [22:24] No, here is what is going on [22:25] !upgrade | Bax_ [22:25] Bax_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:25] ASULutzy, he is trying to do an Ubuntu native install from an installed Mandrake, since he is unable to boot from the Ubuntu CD [22:25] Slart: thanks anyway [22:25] ok so why doesnt /media/sdb1 exist if /dev/sdb1 does [22:25] joaopinto, yeah, when I first installed 7.10 it was that simple. But now it wasn't on the list at all. I installed a package on synaptic I think, ran aticonfig --initial -f and never got it to be "In use". And I just got done running the newest script I found on ATI's site [22:25] I am running mandrake 10.1 because its the only CD i could get ahold of here in iraq [22:25] that boots up [22:25] what about metisse? [22:25] Bax_: it's not that complicated.. but I'm not going to force you =) [22:25] mryanbrown, because it needs to be manually created ? [22:25] oh [22:25] just standard mkdir? [22:25] mryanbrown, and /dev/sdb1 can be mounted /anywhere ? [22:25] now, was able to install ubuntu from within windows [22:25] yes [22:25] mattiniraq, you mean... wubi ? [22:26] joaopinto, mattiniraq: Yikes. Um. Noone else out there has a USB stick you could borrow? You could make a bootable live-usb [22:26] why isnt ubuntu automatically detecting it anyways for me to mount [22:26] wubi?

Hold on [22:27] does anyone know what a good refresh rate for a 22" lcd is? [22:27] navetz__: 60 Hz or so vertical refresh [22:27] noor, you should not use the ATI provided driver, you should use the ones from the repositories instead [22:27] Slart: how about horizontal? [22:28] if you need the latest driver, then you should use envyng-gtk to download and install them [22:28] navetz__: but look it up.. google for the brand/model of your screen [22:28] mattiniraq: That tinyurl link there could be useful for you, again alternatively google installing ubuntu to a pendrive [22:28] navetz__: or find the manufacturers website and check there [22:28] joaopinto, well, I was getting the same result with both. Its shown as enabled on the list and with status "Not in use" [22:28] Slart: gotcha, thanks [22:28] Is there a way to disable the AMD Phenom TLB bug fix under Ubuntu?

[22:35] even so why cant it open it [22:35] i made /media/sdb1 and mounted /dev/sdb1 to it [22:35] taes81: tell us what you are doing, how you are doing it and what the result was [22:36] and did sudo chown username: /media/sdb1 [22:37] trying to install a video card driver, i went to the site downloaded the right driver and it sayed to type sh "driver name here" but when i do that it says it cant open the file [22:37] what can i do to be able to mount the hdd like a usb stick? have it autorecognized and be able to right click mount/unmount === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [22:37] taes81: are you typing the name of the driver file correctly? [22:37] taes81, it would be typical if you were trying to run a file that did not have execution enabled [22:37] taes81: try to chmode +x [22:37] ok. i was trying to mount my windows hard drive to a perminet location so i tried using the volume tab in the properties section of the HD when mounted. so after copying the information in there i tried un mounting then re mounting (by clicking on the places tab) now it gives me an error. [22:37] taes81: remember, linux is case sensitive.. NVidia isn't the same as nvidia [22:38] yep did that [22:38] do i have to be in x server? [22:38] taes81, you should not use the driver downloaded from the NVidia site [22:38] taes81: nope.. in fact the x server shouldn't be running [22:38] mryanbrown: one sec [22:38] taes81 If the instructions say so.. yes [22:38] Hey, can someone recommend a tv/dvb application??

I was playing around with syslinux a couple weeks ago, and now, whenever I try to boot Windows, I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23323/. I don't have my Windows CD anymore. I can still access Windows via /windows. I recently discovered several files in /windows that didn't use to be there (namely a file called ldlinux.sys and syslinux.cfg). I deleted them but the problem pers [22:38] ists. nhaines pointed me to a tool called ms-sys (http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/), but (I'm a total novice) I can't quite figure out how to use it. Help would be great! [22:39] joaopinto, what is that envy stuff? I was wondering about that [22:39] Hi. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to my usplash to show up. I did two fresh installs of 8.04 and edited the grub kernel entry. and both times all that shows on boot is the black screen and then a few minutes later the log in screen. Not a big deal but it confuses my wife. lol [22:39] "mount_point cannot contain the following charicters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)" [22:39] Anyone know if ICH8R onboard raid will work on the hardy heron dvds (running off the kbuntu 32bit) need to access a partition in the raid set up [22:39] taes81, you clearly are new to linux, installing the Nvidia's driver manually may get you into troubles on the next kernel upgrade [22:39] hey guys. I have a question. I had installed Ubuntu on my computer, and then broke it... I also managed to break GRUB. So, I installed Ubuntu again onto another partition, while leaving the old, broken one. This also fixed my GRUB or installed it again. If I were to delete my broken partition of Ubuntu, would I have any issues with my current GRUB? [22:39] Hi [22:39] frozenknight: ah.. hang on..

[22:44] joaopinto, it starts well, just i can't see the webpages [22:44] ya [22:45] joaopinto, all pages loads in blank [22:45] joaopinto, tried restarting apache and restarting the system, nothing happens [22:45] Marce_, does the request get logged into access.log ?

This works in XP fine, but I select "ALC880 Digital" in sound preferences, and test it, and there's no output. I've tried the #ALSA channel, and had a good look around the forum but am at a loss. any help would be greatly appreciated [22:47] and with rdesktop do I need any other packages to be able to connect with the rdp that comes with XP? [22:47] I deleted all the keys so that it matched my other hd and it started working like before [22:47] Can anyone tell me how to get my usplash to show [22:48] frozenknight: ah. nice [22:48] anyone? [22:48] ASULutzy: it didn't work [22:49] joaopinto, error.log doesn't show me anything [22:49] respecting that [22:49] Hi, I am getting the following error when executing a program: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_34_1.so.1.34.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ... I think I am missing this library ... anyone knows how to get it installed? [22:49] Marce_, I have no further options, never had issues not logged into error log [22:49] frozenknight: when you specify a mountpoint in the "properties"-thingy for a drive you only decide what the last part of the mountpoint should be.. so if you write "mybackupdrive" for mountpoint it will be mounted in /media/mybackupdrive... you can't change the first part using that settings window [22:49] sebablu1, what program is it and how did you install it ? [22:50] joaopinto, it seems that the dns doesn't works, thank you for your time [22:50] it is a robot control engine ... running though an sh script [22:50] Marce_, you dont need dns to browse local pages, your server host should be on /etc/hosts [22:50] cara: Hmmm? [22:50] how big should my / partition be on my new hard drive? currently its set at 18.63GB ... and i'm using 10.42GB.... (running ubuntu hardy) [22:50] cara: What didn't work? [22:50] I mean, I was assuming you were browsing locally [22:50] arooni-mobile: Personal preference, no one can tell you how much space to devote to your Ubuntu install. [22:50] i just recently installed my graphics drivers, and now my log in screen is 640x 512ish and it cuts off 3/4 of the screen. [22:51] arooni-mobile: if you have /home on another partition you only need about 10-15 [22:51] GB [22:51] joaopinto, i have a web server in my intranet that i work, i just see the pages by internet trough the .com domain [22:51] arooni-mobile: but it's really up to how you use your computer [22:51] sebablu1, it depends on a specific library, libboost, you can install the one available for ubuntu, but it may not be compatible with the one used to link that app [22:51] Slart, my original goal was to attempt to give the HD a permanent mount point so that i could link firefox and thunderbird to my windows firefox and thunderbird so that any bookmarks or e-mails i have are in the same spot [22:51] Marce_, ok :) [22:52] joaopinto, thank u :> [22:52] Slart, so 20gb is more than enough? [22:52] frozenknight: hmm.. don't really think you can do that.. but I'm not sure [22:52] arooni-mobile: for regular use, yes [22:52] anyone? [22:52] thanks joaopinto, I can not find it from the program installer ... where should I look for please? [22:52] sebablu1, doesn't that soft come with the source ? [22:53] Slart, would there ever need to be more? [22:53] It would be better to built it from source [22:53] yes it does [22:53] cara: You alive out there? [22:53] Does this sound possible to anyone: I upgraded my kernel with virtualbox ose stuff and now my system is acting all whacked, compiz stopped working and my sound no longer works, I haven't installed anything else recently [22:53] so you should compile [22:53] !compile | sebablu1 [22:53] sebablu1: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [22:53] Slart, what should i format the root partition to? ext3? [22:53] arooni-mobile: sure, if you install lots of software... download lots of source code etc you'll eventually fill that partitin [22:53] all right, will do, thanks a lot [22:53] Slart, i guess i can always resize later right? [22:53] arooni-mobile: Yes, ext3 [22:54] arooni-mobile: ext3 is the safe middleroad when it comes to file systems.. it's nice enough [22:54] i just recently installed my graphics drivers, and now my log in screen is 640x 512ish and it cuts off 3/4 of the screen. [22:54] Slart, what about primary or logical parittion? [22:54] arooni-mobile: go with primary if you can [22:54] Slart, do i want to check round to cylinders? [22:54] is it possible to go back to my previous kernel image before virtualbox patched it with the ose stuff? [22:54] arooni-mobile: you can only have 4 primary partitions on a hard drive [22:54] veronica, you here? [22:54] arooni-mobile: as you wish.. doesn't really make a big difference [22:55] eric_: Huh? What exactly do you mean [22:55] Does this sound possible to anyone: I upgraded my kernel with virtualbox ose stuff and now my system is acting all whacked, compiz stopped working and my sound no longer works, I haven't installed anything else recently [22:55] Slart, what is reiserfs? [22:55] Slart, I've managed to get thunderbird to access my E-mail in windows as though it's it's own by using "thunderbird -profilemanager" [22:55] arooni-mobile: another file system.. good with many small files [22:55] Slart, so /home partitions should be the same (primary + ext3)? [22:55] what's a command to reset the layout ? [22:55] i didn't want to go with vmware, after i installed virutalbox it told me i needed to add ose stuff, now i have a whole bunch of problems [22:55] arooni-mobile: if you have to ask that question here then yes.. use ext3 for everything =) [22:56] eric_: As in you did sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-2.whatever kernel you have? [22:56] ASULutzy: yeah it didn't work === car1 is now known as cara [22:56] Slart, got it; thanks! [22:56] i did whatever command it asked me to do, but i think it was that [22:56] i beleive it said to use generic actually [22:56] I'm getting the same thing I've been getting all day [22:56] frozenknight: ah.. sweet.. haven't even thought about it.. good to knoe [22:56] eric_, and you added your user to the vbox group ? [22:56] cara: You sure you did it right? [22:56] would that affect sound? [22:56] cara: lol, what happened after you told ndisgtk to use the .inf file? [22:57] eric_: I can't think of how installing virtualbox could hose your system [22:57] Slart, how big should my swap partition be? (i have 2gb of ram right now; but may add a gig or two in the future ) ...... [22:57] arooni-mobile: laptop? [22:57] Slart, desktop [22:57] eric_, are we talking about using virtualbox, or a sound issue ? [22:57] Slart, its a 300gb drive [22:57] i don't care about sing Virtualbox at this point [22:57] Slart, ya that is why i'm trying to get a perm mount point so that i can have FireFox and Thunderbird both act that way at startup [22:57] i just want my system to work [22:57] arooni-mobile: I would go with 2GB of swap.. there's an old rule that says to use 2xRAM for swap.. but it's old.. very old [22:57] eric_: try xvm version [22:57] compiz gave me the white screen of death no matter how many times i reinstalled [22:57] I clicked on the button to setup the network, everything was grayed out, even the Unlock button, also, the device didn't show up in the NetworkManager. [22:57] eric_, virtualbox is not related to your sound issue [22:57] what's a command to reset the layout ? gnome / xfce / kde i mean [22:58] This is the same thing I"ve been getting all day [22:58] how do i diagnose the sound issue first and foremost [22:58] !resetapplets | microwaver [22:58] Factoid resetapplets not found [22:58] arooni-mobile: it's different if you're using a laptop where the swap will be used to store the contents of the memory when hibernating.. then you have to have at least as much swap as ram [22:58] the volume button says no device, but device manager lists it (internal intel hd audio (actual sigmatel i believe) on a dell laptop [22:58] Slart, i guess i can always resize swap later [22:58] hey, does anyone know how to install/set-up a logitech usb microphone? [22:58] !swap [22:58] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [22:58] are you guys sure that it didn't modify the kernel and that is why all this stuff started to happen? [22:59] joaopinto, my dear chairman, it isn't seem to be working :p [22:59] check that link, arooni-mobile [22:59] cara: Did you actually do what I said? [22:59] cara: Installing ndisgtk and the the windows driver (the .inf file) [22:59] yes yes [22:59] pointed it to the inf file [22:59] the one you told me to get [22:59] !who [22:59] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:59] eric_, it just added new kernel modules, it is not expected to affect other modules, if you do believe it did, just revert the change and remove the vbox modules [22:59] lol sorry ASULutzy [23:00] how to do that exactly? [23:00] cara: So you pointed it to the .inf file, what does iwconfig say now? [23:00] * cara will prefix comments with ASULutzy [23:00] ASULutzy: it shows my device but nothing can be done with it [23:00] i want to go back before the vbox changes first before i diagnose everything else [23:00] ASULutzy: I even tried manually pointing it an access point and it didn't work [23:00] eric_, go to the package manager, and remove all the virtualbox* packages === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [23:01] another question, the tempature for my area is always off by a lot,right now it's in the mis 80's outside and the temp shows that it's 51.8 [23:01] cara: So does it see any access points? Have you tried using iwconfig to manually hook it up to an AP? (and is the AP using WPA-PSK or anything like that?) [23:01] i already did that [23:01] eric_ Were you trying to install a version other than the one available in our repos [23:01] i have two 300 GB seagate drives.... drive a is currently being used and has /root/ and /home/ on it... and is named /sda/ but is currently dying... drive b is not being used. what i want to do is insert drive b and duplicate drive a to drive b. then i want to start booting from drive b so i can rma drive a. both drives are now in my system and i've formatted drive b with 3 partitions (sdb1 for /root @ 20gb, sdb2 for /hom [23:01] e @ 264GB, and sdb3 for linux-swap). what should i do now? [23:01] ASULutzy: yes lol (I just said that) [23:01] ASULutzy: dmesg reports that the link is down for some odd reason [23:02] i.e. how should i move the data? [23:02] cara: I thought you meant you manually pointed it to an AP using network manager, which isn't quite as trustworthy as using iwconfig in the command line [23:02] i beleive i used apt-get install virutalbox, ran it, it told me to run a command to patch the kernel [23:02] i did what ti told me [23:02] ASULutzy: I don't think its related to the ssb thing because my driver is the tg3 driver [23:02] then when after my next reboot, compiz stopped working (white screen) and audio no longer works [23:02] since its too seemingly unrelated issues out of the blue, i assume it has to do with virtualbox [23:02] eric_ Did you change any sources before the apt-get [23:02] eric_, have you installed virtualbox from the repositories, or from the VB site ? [23:02] for the repos [23:02] *from the repos [23:03] i have 3rd party sources, yes [23:03] but they are application specific [23:03] eric_ doesnt matter... [23:03] eric_ sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [23:03] cara: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff has solved most of my broadcom issues, but other than that, no clue === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [23:04] how should i move all the data from one partition to another partition (on another drive).... especially if i want to replace the drive i'm moving data on to (which contains /home/ and /root/) [23:04] ASULutzy: yeah I looked at that too, didn't work for me. I wonder who I should contact regarding my issue === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [23:05] http://pastebin.com/f5886bae5 [23:05] eric_ looking now [23:05] cara: No clue, that page is like the holy grail for getting broadcoms working, all is lost if it didn't work [23:05] ok [23:05] now that you mention it, i do believe somehting else might have updated [23:05] *upgraded [23:06] Hey all..I am getting "No screens found" After I upgraded to Gutsy.... [23:06] irc://irc.mp3planet-panama.org/mp3planet /ctcp DS|Bot xdcc send #8 [23:06] eric_ mixing gutsy and hardy repos is not a good idea [23:06] Can somebody tell me why my ssh pubkey is denied? http://paste.ubuntu.com/24092/ [23:06] i see, that i have done that [23:07] i would hope i would have noticed that, must have been following directions from some tutorial, though i hope it said okay for hardy [23:07] so is that neccesarily what boinked me here? [23:07] and if so, what should i do now [23:08] or should I just reinstall? [23:08] eric_ It may nave been what got you... I have no way of knowing.. I would remove # the gutsy repo update, upgrade and hope for the best [23:08] okay i will try that and come back in a few [23:08] hello! [23:08] eric_ You know a single command in a terminal will backup everything for you.. [23:08] but if i remove the repos for gutsy then it only see the hardy and replaces them? [23:08] back everythign up in terms of what [23:08] eric_ yes [23:09] i can just ghost... [23:09] or can't i just copy my ~ dir [23:09] eric_ If you after you reinstall.. you can doa system backup very easily [23:09] or is there other stuff i should back up, i don't want to save my apt-get install list because i probably have the wrong stuff installed because of it, no? [23:09] eric_ too late for a backup [23:09] anybody installed serendipity (s9y) via pt-get by any chance on hardy? [23:10] ? [23:10] so should i not use this command? [23:10] eric_ for the next time [23:10] okay [23:10] the command is? [23:10] how do you copy a file in ubuntu ? [23:10] eric_ the command is fine.. just backup if you end up reinstalling or create a sep /home.. it will save you a lot of frustration [23:10] madmn cp [23:11] the command is called "fine.." ?? [23:11] !backup [23:11] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [23:11] there is more to it then that tho right from one directory to another [23:11] i had a problem the other day after installing ubuntu. i got grub errors 17 and 18 [23:11] oh === chasetoys_ is now known as arooni [23:11] i never got to boot ubuntu [23:11] eric_ tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/dev --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media --exclude=/root/.Trash -- / [23:11] okay, but for now, as long as I copy my home dir and reinstall i should be fine? [23:12] I can use remote X display when using putty to log into ubuntu, but after su - newuser, I can no longer use remote X -- any ideas? [23:12] oh that is a cute command [23:12] is there a way to do it in graphical interface [23:12] hi. i used the "connect to other wireless network" option to add one with a hidden ssid. whenever i try to connect to it i'm prompted for a password to unlock the keyring. how can i remove the password? i don't want to have to enter it every time. [23:12] copy a file from one directory to another [23:12] madmn mautilus, thunar etc [23:13] nautilus [23:13] help! my graphics don't work. [23:13] are they in ubuntu 8 [23:13] but for now, since i don't care about apps, all my personal files are in ~, correct? so if i do a fresh install i can just copy back thunderbird, firefox, opera, etc? [23:13] eric_, correct [23:13] okay [23:13] Julia_-> are you somebody i know? [23:13] eric_ yes everything should be in ~ but double check your bookmarks and save them to your desktop [23:13] i'm trying to copy partitions from drive A => drive B. i've created destination partitions for drive b.... (/dev/sdb1), (/dev/sdb2) ... but there are currently no mount points for these drives. on /dev/sdb1 i want to copy from /dev/sda1 (root partition) and on /dev/sbd2 i want to copy from /dev/sda2 (home partition).... what do i do now? [23:13] linuxpower1: probably not. [23:14] ok [23:14] well, how uncommon is it to have to redo your install, really.... [23:14] can you help me? [23:14] luckily most of my actual data is external [23:14] arooni I would use the dd command to clone the drive or partitions [23:14] just going to export my apt-get list anyway [23:14] hi, im prety new to linux (Saturday) and my last gripe with it is the sharing with xbox 360. now im using ubuntu server with samba and i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me getting it settup correctly, or recommend a better app? [23:14] eric_ good luck, sorry it wasnt a simpler soultion [23:14] Jack_Sparrow, but can it work if there are no mount ponits? [23:15] why does ubuntu use /dev/sda when my disk is actually IDE? [23:15] arooni yes it is a clone right down to the uuid's [23:15] Hi all. I have a second hard drive in my machine that I want all users to be able to have read/write acess to. How can I change it from what it is now (users have read only access, I believe) [23:15] Jack_Sparrow, do you know how to use it? [23:15] phreaker-RoT THat changed as of gutsy.. [23:15] arooni let me find it for you [23:16] Jack_Sparrow what changed and what's gutsy? [23:16] I bought a new laptop, and I don't know how to install the graphics drivers. I went to restricted drivers, and it went crazy. So I downloaded the latest drivers from the internet, and they won't install. [23:16] arooni http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dd [23:17] I have an ASUS G1SN. It has nvidia 9500M GS [23:17] arooni dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda1 conv=noerror,sync bs=4k etc [23:17] Jack_Sparrow, you mean this: dd - convert and copy a file ? [23:17] arooni dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 conv=noerror,sync bs=4k etc [23:17] sorry [23:17] arooni is the new drive the same size or bigger then the old? [23:18] arooni, you can also use partimage [23:18] hello, I have a drawing tablet i bought off of woot the other week and i was hoping there was a way to use it, with out installing windows [23:18] Jack_Sparrow, bigger partitions in both cases [23:18] arooni read that page I linked or use part image [23:19] Jack_Sparrow, whats easier? i'm a linux noob [23:19] dd will copy unused areas, it will take longer than partimage [23:19] so sounds like partimage is better? [23:19] partimage is easier, it provides a text interface === molina is now known as DolceMisterioso [23:19] arooni Old school.. I always use dd [23:20] how can I use LC_* environment vars so I can use a different language from my locale? Whatever I try, only works for console/terminals - gnome ignores it whatsoever. I tried setting in my .bashrc, .bash_profile and /etc/environment. What can I do now? [23:20] dd is a low level tool, best fit for experts and not as smart as partimage :P [23:20] hello, I'm having a problem connecting to my windows machines. I have tried several things I have found on ubuntu.com and through google searches, but nothing has seems to work. [23:20] joaopinto, so i can just run sudo partimage and it'll awlk me through it? [23:20] arooni, yes [23:20] arooni Make sure you get the source and targets right.. [23:20] assuming it's installed :P [23:21] joaopinto, just installed it. unsure if i need to use an image file to create/use\ [23:21] hello. can anyone help me with custom usplash stuff? [23:21] do i want to create an image file on the replacement hard drive? [23:21] sirelfman-> what have you tried so far? [23:21] arooni, hum, you need, it doesn't support disk2disk [23:21] has anyone programmed atmel in linux?, how much does a programmer compatible with linux cost? [23:21] sonink grub splash gdm splash ? === martyn is now known as Guest72577 [23:22] sparrow: grub splash [23:22] joaopinto, huh? so you're saying this software doesnt work for what i'm trying to do? [23:22] arooni, sorry, forgot that detail :P [23:22] arooni, back to dd :P [23:22] Why is the latest fglrx with the envy package only 8.4? The latest is 8.6! [23:22] victor__ Yes they work. kinda offtopic in here.. but search for eeprom burners linux [23:22] who cares [23:22] ati support for nix wont improve much by .2 [23:23] sonink I can walk you through that. [23:23] amenado-> I managed (i think) to at least the linux box in the right workgroup by editing smb.conf. I can see the windows network, and the workgroup MSHOME, but when I click on MSHOME, nothing shows up in the window [23:23] The option "bs=4k" is used to specify the block size used in the copy. The default for the dd command is 512 bytes: use of this small block size can result in significantly slower copying. However, the tradeoff with larger block sizes is that when an error is encountered, the remainder of the block is filled with zero-bytes. [23:23] what size block size should i use? [23:23] sparrow: I've worked through this page but it's not very helpful imo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [23:23] sonink Did you already have a known working splash.xpm.gz === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [23:24] sonink or were you trying to create your own [23:24] trying to create my own [23:24] sonink please /join #Jack_Sparrow so we dont spam the channel [23:24] sirelfman-> on linux, foreign file systems has to be mounted, there smbfs has to be mounted, [23:24] arooni, just follow the previous recommendations from Jack_Sparrow === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [23:25] ok Jack_Sparrow, thanks [23:26] Hi, I need to install a cd r/w drive and don't know how exactly. Could anyone help walk me throuh it please? [23:26] In lts 6.06 [23:26] amenado-> Yeah, I got that from what I read elsewhere, but I haven't be able to find a set of instructions I really understood on exactly how to do that, or that I could follow well enought to get it work [23:26] Jack_Sparrow, how long does it take for 20GB? for 100GB? i ran the command and i'm not getting any output... am i doing it right? [23:26] Jack_Sparrow, is it ok to run dd in another terminal simultaneously (for a different partition)? [23:27] arooni, the timing depends on your disk's specifications [23:27] !polls [23:27] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:27] dd does run silently [23:27] amenado->is that something I have to do through the smb.conf also, mounting a foreign file system [23:27] arooni bad idea [23:27] Jack_Sparrow, ok one at a time then ;p [23:27] Jack_Sparrow, will this make it so that i can just take out the old drive and ubuntu will know to boot from fresh hard drive? [23:28] you mentinoed before it copies uuids & such [23:28] Hi, can i get help concerning Virtual Hosting with apache?? [23:28] sirelfman-> you can do it manually via smbmount command [23:28] ciao [23:28] a tutti [23:28] amenado-> How would I do that [23:28] How do I add a custom icon to a 'custom application launcher' applet (toolbar button) from a png?

I'd like to use the shell to do a command on a bunch of files with the same extention; changing them to another extention. I'd like to use a loop, but then I end up with something like "for x in *.txt;do $action $x;done" -what I'd like to know how to do is how can I strip off the old extention (eg "txt" in the example)? === hkkmXQ31s is now known as Zerothis [23:32] victor__, isnt that where the xorg.conf is [23:32] how can I use LC_* environment vars so I can use a different language from my locale? Whatever I try, only works for console/terminals - gnome ignores it whatsoever. I tried setting in my .bashrc, .bash_profile and /etc/environment. What can I do now? [23:32] gnull0, why dont u just use wildcards [23:33] trashguy, you wrote x11, did you tried X11 ? (upper case X) [23:33] victor__, yes X11 [23:33] ok [23:33] the file is /etx/X11/xorg.conf, but I forget what package to reconfigure. I just remember you use `dpkg --reconfigure ` to do it [23:34] victor__, its like short not much of what id expect ina normal xorg.conf [23:34] oh [23:34] victor__: because I don't know that will work as reliably as using a for loop will work. Plus on commands such as mv and cp you'd end up with all the files listed thrown together into a large blob (whatever you list as the target); which is not what I'd want.

Any suggestions? [23:46] Xavura: File a bug report, then. [23:47] Jack_Sparrow, does this look good? 4883752+1 records in; 4883753+0 records out? and also, if the partition i'm copying TO are larger than the ones i'm copying from, is this OK? [23:47] no changes... [23:47] ShinjinAkage what do you mean you downloaded the icon? [23:47] Why would a dist upgrade cause "No screens found"??? [23:47] where can i pay someone to set up some features for me [23:47] same thing.. [23:47] m-c: I don't know where/how to and I don't know if it's even a bug, it's just annoying [23:47] arooni yes looks fine [23:47] ShinjinAkage: does Compiz work if you start it without fusion-icon? [23:47] arooni you do not need to do your swap partition.. [23:47] keshari: It was the name of the program in the synaptic. It's supposed to be a manger thing. [23:47] unop: I think I was not clear enough. I want to use everything in english, but still be able to write in portuguese (accents) [23:47] Jack_Sparrow, right; but as far as the sizes being different; thats ok? [23:47] Xavura: Sounds like a bug to me. File them at launchpad.net [23:47] Sneedly a school? maybe a linux users group (lug) [23:48] RoinCT: It doesn't appear to be. [23:48] philsf, i don't see why you don't change the keyboard layout to portuguese then? :) [23:48] :( [23:48] ShinjinAkage do you mean you want to install the compiz advanved manager? [23:48] Sneedly: Many people will program for money. How much are you willing to spend? [23:48] unop: hold on, I'll give you an url [23:49] ShinjinAkage: Alt+F2, type compiz --replace and when it's loaded check if the title bars of inactive windows are semi-transparent [23:49] keshari: No, that was the name of the manager in the add and remove programs. When I open it the title bar says compizConfig Settings [23:49] unop: bug #228077 [23:49] Launchpad bug 228077 in gnome-control-center "libgtk2 immodules has cedilla disabled in en locales" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/228077 [23:50] alt+F12 isn't doing anything. [23:50] unop basically, I can't use the c-cedilla (ç) in english [23:50] ShinjinAkage: F2 [23:50] unop: I traced it back to gtk2, and upstream said WONTFIX [23:50] hi. i changed my login password after entering the key for an encrypted network. now i'm prompted to unlock the keyring every time. how do i fix this? [23:51] in the notebook keyboard is all right [23:51] RoinCT: They are still the same. [23:51] RoinCT; Just to make sure I was to type "compiz --replace" [23:52] unop: it was them that told me to use LC_* [23:52] but in my logitech coordless ex100 keyboard not [23:52] unop: btw, dpkg-reconfigure locales only sets the whole LC_* bunch to the desired locale, [23:52] ShinjinAkage what are you actually trying to do? are you saying the basic compiz settings dont work? [23:52] how can I find out where and what it is a package installs and has? === demism is now known as DemisM [23:53] demism: apt-file [23:53] philsf, ok, LC_* aside, does your keyboard have the ability to type in the c-cedilla character without '+ c' i.e. a dedicated key ? [23:53] my firefox version says 3.0b5 is that the latest version...add/remove already has it checked [23:53] Keshari: I'm trying to get some desktop effects to make it look better. The default ones wouldn't load so I tried to download some from add and remove programs. [23:53] rusod - ubuntu recognized the logitech wireless keyboard without you doing anything else (no drivers to install)? [23:53] unop: my desktop has a localized keyboard. my laptop doesn't [23:54] sub01tech: 3.0 is final on hardy [23:54] unop: it's the laptop that's giving me the pita in this case [23:54] OB1FoShoB: i already have hardy i had the beta that came with it...do i uninstall it and reinstall? [23:54] ShinjinAkage: and if you right click on the desktop, change background and go to the tab 'desktop effects', are they enable? [23:54] ubuntu recognized a generic keyboard [23:54] sun01tech: sudo apt-get upgrade [23:55] sun01tech: its final in Hardy === ecanto is now known as edson [23:55] philsf, and editing gtk.immodules does nothing constructive? [23:55] sun01tech: sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade === edson is now known as ecanto [23:55] sun01tech: (hardy)gnomefreak@Development:~$ policy firefox-3.0 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 [23:55] unop: If I ignore gtk's devels recomendations, and change the gtk immmodules config, I still don't get a coherent locale configuration (for example, wish/tk apps still print ć) [23:55] seems that philsf have a similar problem [23:56] RoinCT: No, they won't enable. That's why I was looking for some in the add and remove programs thing. Is there not a set of separate ones I can download if those don't work. [23:56] sun01tech: included in the repositories [23:56] rusod: nice to hear. more ppl looking, easier to find a solution [23:56] ShinjinAkage you will need to get the default ones to work first, then after the compiz engine is configured you can then get the advanced desktop manager and use the additional things like cube, and scale ect. [23:57] ShinjinAkage: ah. no. Ubuntu comes with all plugins (from the repos) by default, most of them are just disabled. but as koshari says, you first need to get compiz itself running [23:57] Keshari: How do I get the default ones to work? [23:57] ShinjinAkage lets get abck to basics, what video chip do you have and have you got 3d working, to test this try running glxgears. [23:57] unop: I guess I could try to do this for every major lib... or I could try to set LC_* vars ;) [23:57] unop: unfortunately it's not an easy thing to google for [23:57] Keshari: It's running fine. [23:58] unop: do you at least know which of them *should* do what I want? [23:58] silly question here: I know I can specify filenames with spaces using quotes or \ to escape the character, but I'm not sure how I copy with wildcards. Specifically, I want to do something along the lines of: cp -R * /media/endpoint [23:58] ShinjinAkage ok so your getting good fps with glxgears? [23:58] Keshari: Yeah, it's running fine. [23:59] philsf, well that's expected gtk.immodules affects just gnome/gtk apps -- what i would recommend you do is install the portuguese locales and set the LANG and LC_* variables in your ~/.profile -- the variables you need to change are defined here - http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xbd/envvar.html [23:59] Keshari: No pauses or anything like that. [23:59] so go to system > pref > appearance and click on the effects tab [23:59] gnomefreak: i did that but it says 0 upgrade and 0 for the rest [23:59] Koshari: It's already open. [23:59] sun01tech: apt-cache policy firefox-3.0 what version does that give you (only the version)
