[00:00] PaulM: and cp -r * /media/endpoint doesn't work? [00:00] ok what radio button have you got ticked? is it one of the bottom 2? [00:00] sun01tech: make sure you have updates repos enabled as well [00:00] since we push it through -updates [00:00] RainCT: Nope, it gives me a "cannot stat filename" on all the files with spaces in their name [00:00] unop: I guess the ideal for me would be to use en_BR, if such locale existed [00:00] Koshari: No, "none" is clicked and if I try one of the lower ones I get the message "desktop effects could not be enabled". [00:01] philsf, errm, no :) [00:01] ShinjinAkage hmmm, ok, what gpu do you have? [00:01] Keshari: How can I tell? [00:02] sun01tech: open system > admin > software sources and make sure you enable all of them [00:02] ShinjinAkage does, either nvidii, intel graphics, or ati radeon ring a bell? [00:03] gnomefreak: thanks... i forgot i only had the security updates checked not recommended updates [00:03] sun01tech: your welcome [00:03] Keshari: Nope, I didn't buy the card though. Just sorta randomly accumulate them. [00:04] luke__: i have to leave but searching for your package atleat the description of the package should help you out finding the one you want. [00:04] ShinjinAkage type compiz in a terminal and pastebucket the results [00:04] unop: thanks for the pointer [00:04] keshari - aint that awesome? [00:04] PaulM: try find -maxdepth 1 | xargs -I{} cp -r '{}' /media/endpoint [00:04] now it says 197 recommended updates, do i just install everything or just be selective? [00:04] thats what i did [00:04] PaulM: if you want to filter on something put a grep whatever* | before the xargs [00:04] RainCT, careful, you really ought to use find -print0 and xargs -0 there, spaces and other characters are still not quoted properly [00:06] RainCT, unop: I'm not trying to filter something... just move these windows XP files from a recovery partition to another. [00:06] The specific error I'm getting is: "cp: cannot stat `/media/40max/found.000/dir0000.chk/0x0409.ini': No such file or directory" [00:06] (and so on) === Evilsboytoy is now known as RickJames [00:06] unop: uhm... just -I{} always worked fine here [00:06] RainCT, it's not failsafe tho [00:07] you will need to know what gpu you have [00:07] Keshari: Okay, the link is http://pastebin.com/m342f77ac [00:07] PaulM, can you verify that those files do actually exist? [00:07] hey all, I installed Intrepid and got a message back from the nvidia driver installer that it sees a Xen kernel or xen enabled kernel and I havent installed any xen packages -- is there a package installed that would be showing this? [00:07] i'm looking for somethign i can use to access my sony ericsson w580i so i can upload music to it and downl oad my pix from it and i have the winders software but it requires vista. is there a linux program that can access my phone ? [00:07] hey all -- I'm having a problem with network manager -- whenever I reboot, it fails to reconnect to my wireless network, and I need to go into the network manager prefs and manually reset the password --- it seems like a few extra characters get added everytime? [00:07] ShinjinAkage lcpci will likely tell you what video card you have [00:07] Jack_Sparrow, does it matter if i move my hard drive (that i dd's everything from the dying one) to a new IDE channel? [00:08] ]ShinjinAkage sorry lspci [00:08] this is a t41 if it matters [00:08] arooni to the primary ide.. yes [00:08] arooni make sure all the jumpers are right [00:08] Jack_Sparrow, i was going to simply move it to where the old one was (primary slave) [00:08] RainCT: hm. that's weird... they should exist, but I can't do something simple like use cat to view the output [00:08] arooni yes [00:09] (this is from an image of a drive that was having bad sector problems) [00:09] Jack_Sparrow, awesome++; [00:09] I can't seem to get my fglrx driver running. Here is my Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/m4d7e4eb6 [00:09] well, I'm off.. good night [00:09] RainCT: I guess I'm not familiar enough with partition tables to know quite how a file can show up in a directory listing, but not return anyhting on the disk [00:10] RainCT: cya [00:10] Koshari: http://pastebin.com/m59aa9b86 There is the output from that command. I don't know what I'm looking for. Via technolodgies inc is repeated a lot though if that means anything. [00:10] unop: thx [00:11] how long does it usually take to copy a dvd image??? [00:11] hrm, the password in /etc/network/interfaces is identical to what wpa_passphrase emits [00:11] hi, can someone help me with a weird gnome/gconf issue I am having? More info here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828316 [00:11] what gives? [00:11] ati rage 128 [00:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24101/ got ubuntu installed and vista still booting but i'm still getting this error message. Trying to boot up into terminal mode is impossible can't see anything with tons and tons of repeats of that error and the motherboard is set to ahci mode with p35 ICH9R sata controller :( [00:12] ShinjinAkage - ati rage line tells ya [00:12] ShinjinAkage ok your problem is you have a Rage 128 gpu which cannot handle compiz :-( do you have another gpu you could use? i take it you have a agp2 stssem, [00:12] koshari - thats what i thought, compiz need a little more [00:12] I have a ton of other cards laying around but no idea what type each of them are. [00:13] ShinjinAkage even if you could snag a nvidia mx2 card it would likely give you the basic functions. [00:13] ShinjinAkage read the chips and do google search [00:13] PaulM, you could try copying using this command after unmounting and remounting the partition. tar clf /path/to/directory | tar xf - -C /path/to/new_directory [00:13] Jack_Sparrow, whats the best way to test if dd did its work correctly (besides losing the old drive and moving the new drive to where it was) [00:13] hello all! I am having some problems with samba. My new hardy heron install can't see or connect to the windows machines on my network.. any ideas what else I need to do? [00:13] the chips on the vid cards [00:13] Okay, I'll look at what I have. What kind am I looking for again? [00:13] Hi there, I have a USB 3G modem here which works fine on windows, but I want to use it in Linux.. I tried lspci and lsusb to get more info about it but they don't show anything about the modem.. Where to start with this? [00:13] arooni move them and test them... [00:13] Hi everybody. I'm new to Linux and I want to install the MPlayer. I've never compiled from source, at least successfully :D So I read the documentation, saying I have to enter "./configure" in the folder where I extracted the tar.bz2 package. When I do so, it lists a lot of stuff and at the end it says "Error: cannot find either inttypes.h or bittypes.h. There is no chance for compilation to succeed." I'm kinda trapped, I have no idea [00:13] 3G modems should also work on Linux, not? [00:14] MannyCalavera : sudo apt-get install mplayer [00:14] MannyCalavera, why don't you install mplayer from the repsositories [00:14] ? [00:14] MannyCalavera: Why not install it with apt-get? synaptics? [00:14] ShinjinAkage ideally you would want at least a nvidia 5*** or greater add on card, [00:14] MannyCalavera: What unop says.. [00:14] Jack_Sparrow, what am i testing? also i need to wipe the drive;; is it ok to still have the old drive in the system ? [00:14] anybody knowledgable about networking and pptpd ? [00:14] so i can delete all files? [00:14] Okay, I'll go look, Bye [00:14] Wow, you're fast! I can install using that command? [00:15] MannyCalavera, yes [00:15] ShinjinAkage however as i said earlier at least a mx series card would give you basic compiz on say 1080*800ect [00:15] koshari - nice thankyou there [00:15] MannyCalavera, and you should be using that command rather that build from source, it's the recommended way [00:16] Does anyone know I can have anyone on subnet 192.168.2.x see systems on 192.168.1.x? [00:16] unop, thanks! What if I want to compile some program that isn't in the repository? [00:16] Hi, im looking for a partition backup programm wich can make differential (?) backups like acronis true image. Any ideas? [00:16] arooni not right now [00:16] Jack_Sparrow, are you saying you're not really available to answer qs? or that i cant have the other drive in the system [00:16] MannyCalavera, well, then you have no choice but to build from source -- but whereever possible, try and use the packages already build for you [00:16] My bluetooth headset shows up as a sound card, but I am unable to use it. I could really use some help! [00:16] at least if some one would have said " we have no idea" would have been nice [00:17] arooni both [00:17] Jack_Sparrow, ok ;p [00:17] runjorel, the only way is to setup a router that connects both those segments up [00:17] arooni I am writing a tutorial [00:17] Im having an unusual problem : Ive mounted volumes in my dvd drive 100 times and never a problem, now I mount a new volume into it and its set with permissions 400 and I can't read it. how do I change the permissions so that I can read the disc? [00:17] unop, I thought there was something I could do via IP Masquerading or something [00:17] Blaqlight: does CHMOD or CHWON not work? === kejkz_ is now known as kejkz [00:18] is anyone here? [00:18] runjorel, that's as good as setting up a router [00:18] Jack_Sparrow, ok didn't mean to interrupt you [00:18] Ok, thanks a lot, unop. For now i like the change, Ubuntu is really fast and does everything i need :) [00:18] runjorel, but setting up a router is less complex [00:18] thing is I didn't change the permissions in the first place. [00:18] !ask |tamajama [00:18] tamajama: 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. :-) [00:18] Hello? :-( [00:18] arooni np [00:18] MannyCalavera, enjoy the experience - welcome to ubuntu :) [00:18] do you actually have two separate networks, or do you want to have one network with 512 IPs? [00:18] unop, yeah I can see setting up a static route on a router...the only thing is, people are vpn'ing into my box... [00:19] I have an ATI Radeon mobility x600 do I use fglrx or the other one? [00:19] runjorel, provided you setup the router properly, existing network communication should be unaffected really [00:19] Blaqlight: what is the output of the ls -la of the mount point? [00:19] i have 8.04 [00:19] hello all! I am having some problems with samba. My new hardy heron install can't see or connect to the windows machines on my network.. any ideas what else I need to do? [00:19] ... and I am assigning them 192.168.2.x addresses...and I want them to be able to see machines on .1.x. [00:20] thank you for you time i am unable to do any updates the synaptic states that "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [00:20] E: _cache->open() failed, please report." does that mean anything to anyone? [00:20] unop, I gotchya, just trying to see if there is another way than getting another router. [00:20] desism - there is an open source version on it's way out soon - you might check on the status for your card [00:20] runjorel, well, what i meant really is setup one of those machines as a router [00:20] demism the other one [00:21] what is the terminal command to see which graphics card i have installed [00:21] m-c, ls: cannot open directory /media/cdrom0: Permission denied [00:21] unop, lol, I think that may be beyond my skill level :) [00:21] pub, lspci will probably tell you [00:21] runjorel, pretty much all you need is to enable ip forwarding in the kernel and setup your dhcp server to assign a default route to it's clients pointing at the new default gateway [00:21] m-c, when I sudo though it reads it fine. says 400 [00:21] Blaqlight: the mount point is the directory name [00:21] How can i get logged into the postgresql console? [00:22] runjorel, it's not hard - there are plenty of howtos out there dedicated for this task [00:22] unop, I got ip forwarding on and working. Dont have a DHCP turned on [00:22] zcat; yah thanks i thought it was something else^^ [00:22] hi, I cannot start Gnome and I get the following error when trying to apt-get install or upgrade: (gconftool-2:15652): GConf-CRITICAL **: No such file `/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/2/libgconfbackend-xml.so' (gconftool-2:15652): GConf-WARNING **: Failed to load source "xml:readwrite:/var/lib/gconf/defaults": Failed: Couldn't locate backend module for `xml:readwrite:/var/lib/gconf/defaults' ** ** GConf:ERROR:(gconftool.c:918):main: assertion f [00:22] runjorel, so all yout machines have static ips setup? [00:22] m-c, the mount point is /media/cdrom0 [00:22] unop, yes sir [00:22] Blaqlight: use ls -lad [00:22] unop, the setup you are talking about requires a machine with two nics anyway right? [00:23] i have an old drive (drive a) and a new drive (drive b). i'm replacing a with b. i ran dd to copy the partitions.... now i am going to physically remove drive a and replace it with b. questions: 1) is there anything i need to do to make this work? 2) if i want to destroy the data on hard drive a... how would i go about doing this (since now drive and b look basically identical (same UUIDs and everything ) [00:23] what happened to geubuntu [00:23] Jack_Sparrow: Do you know if the open source drivers for ATI-model cards are being pushed into 8.04? [00:23] i am unable to do any updates the synaptic states that "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [00:23] E: _cache->open() failed, please report." does that mean anything to anyone? [00:23] m-c, drwx------ 2 400 401 2048 2006-03-30 13:44 /media/cdrom0 [00:23] m-c no idea [00:23] Blaqlight: Your ownership is wrong - change with the chown command [00:24] runjorel, errm, yes -- but not necessarily, if both subnets connect upto the same physical switch - then the router only needs one nic [00:24] m-c, to? [00:24] PuppyTux whats gebuntu? [00:24] arooni: 1. probably not if the copy worked. 2. see the program shred. might be faster to go to the hardware store and get a heavy duty drill or something [00:24] :) [00:25] :'( [00:25] PuppyTux: They now work under the name "OpenGEU" [00:25] cohete, but wont putting in two identical drives mess linux up? [00:25] runjorel, but what is needed is one machine with two ip addresses tho - i.e. a multi-homed machine so that it exists in both subnets and provides a default gateway for both [00:25] hey all [00:25] can anyone help me with my wireless card? [00:25] im having a problem w/ EVDEV and UDEV [00:25] Oh, one more thing. When I install the program with "apt-get install mplayer", where is it saved in the Ubuntu partition and how do I run it, eventually put a shortcut in the taskbar? [00:25] is eye of gnome unable to view multiple pages of tif files? [00:25] unop, how do I have a multi-homed machine with one nic? [00:26] i am unable to do any updates the synaptic states that "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.E: _cache->open() failed, please report." does that mean anything to anyone? [00:26] arooni your computer will pick one of them to boot from. the other one will be ignored unless you mount it (or maybe mounted automatically, not sure). either way, shouldn't be a problem. just make sure you know which you are booting from [00:26] eljaco: As a last resort, you can reinstall ubuntu [00:26] how do i locate a pci card within ubuntu? [00:26] MannyCalavera, should be under Applications -> Video & Sound -> MPlayer [00:26] cohete, how do i know which one it booted from [00:26] m-c, how can I do that without wiping my data? [00:26] arooni easiest and least confusing is to unplug one of them after you copy the data over [00:26] oh, silly me. Thank you eljaco! [00:26] zcat any command to view the current graphics drivers installed? [00:26] m-c, or should I just back it up and reinstall/ [00:27] eljaco: Did you put your /home on a separate partition? [00:27] MannyCalavera, the executables are usually in /usr/bin but to run it you normally just use the app anme in a terminal [00:27] runjorel, basically all you do is assign that machine two ip addresses, one in the 192.168.1.x network, another in the 192.168.2.x network - you then need to make this multi-homed machine a router, for that you setup ip_forwarding and proper routes -- it might be best to look for a howto on this [00:27] arooni otherwise you need to change bios settings to tell it which one to boot [00:27] m-c, I have two hard drives, but /home is int he same drive as all the other linux stuff (The other hard drive has my Windows partition) [00:27] Koshia still here? [00:27] unop, ok...I didnt know I could assign one nic multiple addresses [00:28] runjorel, sure you can, pretty much any OS provides that capability [00:28] On my laptop running Hardy, selecting Suspend from the Quit button puts the machine into a suspend that the computer does not wake up from. Executing "sudo pm-suspend" from the command-line sleeps the machine and allows it to wake up successfully. How can I make it so that suspending normally will allow the machine to wake? [00:28] eljaco: consider putting /home on a separate partition next time - so this does not bite you again. [00:28] eljaco: So, if you back up /home , then you will probably have every bit of your user data [00:28] unop, cool...yeah when it comes to networking I am not very knowledgeable..still learning on my own. [00:28] m-c, roger, I'll back it up and wipe it - thanks [00:28] arooni if you have booted and aren't sure which hard drive you are using, but they have e.g. different manufacturers, you can figure out which one is active by mucking around in udevinfo and /sys, but its kind of a hassle [00:29] Thank you found it [00:29] runjorel, well, neither am i - i've just encountered the wish to setup something like this before [00:29] eljaco: it's so easy to reinstall ubuntu, I find myself doing it often [00:29] m-c, hehe, ok, I'll learn from this mistake [00:29] m-c, i agree, i never seem to have an install for more then 2 months without reinstalling [00:30] where does mysql-server saves it's databases? [00:30] what can I use as a "path/to/pipe" ? [00:30] tamajama: in terminal try these commands one at a time sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade [00:30] !pm | MannyCalavera [00:30] MannyCalavera: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [00:30] I'm new to pipe [00:30] *s [00:30] MannyCalavera, it would depend on the app [00:30] LiraNuna: configured in /etc/my.conf, probably /var/ [00:30] Bodsda: Work on fixing an issue for 2 hours, or reinstall in 30 minutes... hmm... hmm... [00:30] Fryguy--, thanks a lot for the info [00:30] ok, sorry for the PM. Didn't know === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [00:31] m-c, i usually fix the issue, do something stupid in the process and have to reinstall for fear of debugging another problem for 2 hours [00:31] MannyCalavera, its ok, what app are you referring to? [00:31] the mplayer [00:31] LiraNuna: i belive it is /var/lib/mysql [00:31] m-c, I can't seem to change the permissions. [00:31] MannyCalavera, i believe 'mplayer' would run it from the terminal [00:31] cohete, thanks, I looked at /etc/mysql/my.cnf [00:32] Bodsda: Seems to be less and less issues all the time, but it is comforting to know you can reinstall and not lose your user data. [00:32] of course debugging for two hrs usually has u walking away with a lesson learned :) [00:32] MannyCalavera, or theres probably a launcher in Applications--> Sound&Video--> mplayer [00:32] and then u can say YAY i fixed it [00:32] Bodsda, it does! Yes, and the launcher is there too. [00:33] OB1FoShoB: Yes, usually you learn a lesson everytime you fix a linux issue. (Unlike other OS where you missed a checkbox...) [00:33] m-c, indeed, and with a seperate /home it makes life even easier -- when we have a decent way to back up installed apps and reinstall them via a script then we will be in reinstall heaven [00:33] heh [00:33] is anybody here by chance familiar with suspend/restore and problems related to it? [00:33] corhere: ask a question, don't ask to ask [00:33] MannyCalavera, if you want a launcher on the desktop or panel just drag and drop from the menu [00:33] OB1FoShoB: feel any pain [00:33] ? [00:33] Bodsda: Just further encouragement to stick withthe default Ubuntu applications... [00:33] !anybody [00:33] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:34] corhere, ^^ [00:34] Fryguy--: i already asked, and I thought repeating the question is bad ettiquete [00:34] corhere: and asking a different, more vague question that accomplishes nothing is somehow better? [00:34] Bodsda, yes that's all I know for now, drag and drop and pppoeconf hahaha [00:34] e esses ivas :p [00:34] good point. [00:34] corhere: i'm at a loss for the logic of that one [00:34] m-c, how much space should I give the linux (non /home) partition? [00:34] Can I ask a quick off-topic question: I'm interested in buying a domain name someone else owns. He's already said he's sell it to me, but as his registration expires in a week, can I just wait until it expires and buy it the usual way? [00:34] can someone help me with a wireless card? [00:34] m-c, yes, i dont use many of them, but theres not many extras i need either, xchat awn ccsm not much else needed [00:35] MannyCalavera, if you have anymore questions, dont hesitate to ask ;~) [00:35] tim2: ? [00:35] eljaco: however much you think you'll need. a /home without any data in it (no personal data, pictures, or anything), will only take up a few megabytes (depending on size of cache since nautilus caches thumbnails) [00:35] #ubuntu-offtopic please steveire [00:35] eljaco: all depends on how much space you use - but you can always add onto it later. 1-5 GB is a good start. [00:35] Fryguy, k, I'll see what I can do, thanks [00:36] bikodog - explain your problem out. someone might answer. [00:36] ok [00:36] anyone have any idea if there's a specific package that needs to be installed (probably related to ncurses or something of the like) for displaying ansi graphics in an xterm? i have a vga font installed, but i try to 'cat' an ansi file, and it just shows ansi codes. [00:36] OB1FoShoB: debugging for 2 hrs [00:36] eljaco: If you have the space, 40-400 GB is good, too [00:36] is it a pain or do you enjoy it [00:37] tim2: well there were a couple nights i almost thru in the towel, i can't sleep when my nix has issues [00:37] ahahaha [00:37] hello all! I am having some problems with samba. My new hardy heron install can't see or connect to the windows machines on my network.. any ideas what else I need to do? [00:37] tim2: or just pc having issues period is enough to drive me up the wall [00:37] OB1FoShoB, totally agree with you there, i couldnt stand waking up to a borked system [00:37] I still need to figure out how to change the permissions on this drive from root to me. [00:37] i have a Netgear WG312 card...it was working off-and-on in HH when i did the install. I have a dual-boot...it works fine in XP...but i cannot find it in ubuntu [00:37] Blaqlight, chmod? fstab maybe [00:37] OB1FoShoB: same here fella [00:38] compiler says "configure: error: GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora" how to fix that? [00:38] accessd: searching [00:38] Tamale: check domain if you are on a domain, or workgroup otherwise [00:38] !chown [00:38] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:38] spanther: install the gtk2 dev package [00:38] Blaqlight: Using SUDO - change the ownership to your user, your group [00:38] Fryguy--: The workgroup is the same on both computers [00:38] last time big issue i had was no sound period after trying to get sound in skype using pulseaudio, what a nightmate [00:38] Fryguy--, whats the package name for it? :) [00:38] Gnome is really messed up for me and I am unable to fix it; Is it at all possible to reinstall gnome or at least uninstall it and install xfce instead? (without messing with my other system files) [00:38] OB1FoShoB: what IDE do you use if any [00:38] spanther: no idea, i don't use ubuntu, a simple apt-cache search should find it [00:38] Im just wondering how ubuntu thought it necessary to change the permissions without me doing anything [00:39] tim2: IDE as in harddrive [00:39] m-c: i had this font displaying ansi perfectly on gentoo, with no more work than i've done on ubuntu. was just wondering if there was something different i missed. [00:39] accessd: tried DOS Box? [00:39] Fryguy--, "libgtk2.0-dev" ? [00:39] Blaqlight: when you mount something unless you have the umode setup right linux will always mount things as root [00:39] spanther: probably [00:39] Ok, one more. Where can I find and install some kind of a "widget" to run on my desktop and tell me my Internet traffic and how do I disconnect from the Internet without turning off my ZyXEL aDSL modem? I used the "pppoeconf" to set it up. [00:39] MannyCalavera: answer to first question is conky [00:40] tim2: sure u meant something else... [00:40] Fryguy--, thank you for this awesome fast help :) [00:40] kitche, it wasn't always that way, I would have access to them without doing sudo anything. now it requires it. [00:41] MannyCalavera, ethernet or wifi? [00:41] Bodsda, ethernet [00:41] MannyCalavera, try sudo eth0 down [00:41] m-c: that would be a lot less challenging. :) i know it's possible, i'm just stumped as to why it worked fine on gentoo and not ubuntu. is there something with ubuntu and cp437? [00:41] just click on the networking icon top right (assuming you are still using standard gnome interface) and disable networking in the menu that pops up~ [00:41] tim2: integrated development environment? [00:42] hey all, im thinking of getting a Bfg Tech GeForce 8400 GS for use with ubuntu (currently have 8.04) [00:42] any thoughts? [00:42] accessd: I wish I know - I have a sudden desire to look at my old BBS files [00:42] Twister: it's a graphics card, it displays pictures, not much to it [00:42] Twister, i have lots of thoughts [00:43] Twister, you havent really asked a question [00:43] Twister: well what do you plan to do with your system? [00:43] try and take over the world! :) [00:43] accessd: Well, there is no ANSI emulation in the BASH shell, for one. [00:44] Khisanth, you cant, im already planning on doing that, sorry, ive got copyright and everything [00:44] ok i guess a better question is does anyone use the GeForce 8400 GS chipset, mostly just play a few games (WoW, tabula rasa, eve-online) things like that [00:44] oh, you will need a 9800 GTX for that [00:44] Bodsda, thank you for that tip. Would it reset my IP address? How do I get it running again? [00:44] BlackCow, no he wont [00:44] that was direted at Khi as a joke [00:44] Twister: it will work fine [00:44] ok [00:44] * Khisanth throws Bodsda out a window [00:44] MannyCalavera, sudo eth0 up or the network manager in the top right hand corner of your screen [00:44] I dont think you will be playing any games on Ubuntu that will require to much power, a 7950 GT should do fine [00:44] bikodog - you get help yet? [00:45] * Bodsda climbs back in and vowes revenge on Khisanth [00:45] BlackCow, oh, my bad ;~) [00:45] Hi guys, I have a question regarding svg files [00:45] BlackCow, a 7300 GT works fine with everything ive tried so far [00:45] I game on my vista machine on a 7950 GT, its a good card and probably not to expensive these days [00:46] Fryguy--, ./configure and make works now but at make install i get an error "/usr/bin/install: cannot remove `/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libaurora.so': Permission denied" "make[1]: *** [install-engineLTLIBRARIES] Error 1" "make[1]: Leave Directory '/home/spanther/aurora-1.4'" "make: *** [install-am] Error 2" [00:46] spanther: need to run make install as root [00:46] accessd: http://ansinerator.sourceforge.net/ [00:46] when I use some svg pictures as icons for desktop apps they become blurry when they're streched , any ideas why ? [00:46] hello all! I am having some problems with samba. My new hardy heron install can't see or connect to the windows machines on my network.. any ideas what else I need to do? [00:46] speaking of gaming on Ubuntu I saw a guy at a LAN party I went to who had a booth set up promoting gaming on ubuntu, he had a few computers up running UT2004 for people to play, but im off topic [00:46] m-c: that's not what i'm trying to do [00:47] Thank you Bodsda. How can I access the modem's configuration app in the browser, I used the 192.168.1.1 as the gateway in Windows, it doesn't work here... [00:47] when I use some svg pictures as icons for desktop applications they become blurry when they're stretched , any ideas why ? [00:47] HOw do I remove a link that was created like this sudo ln -s /boot/grub/splashimages/2145.xpm.gz /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz from a terminal without deleting what the link it linked to? [00:47] !repeat | abe3k [00:47] abe3k: 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 [00:47] Twister: Go with the AMD video cards - the next version of ubuntu will have open source drivers for R500 chips and earlier [00:47] MannyCalavera, use ifconfig to find your gateway, if your connected just use the address in your browser as per usual [00:47] Jack_Sparrow: just delete the link.. [00:48] m-c: i run a bbs, and know people that still draw ansi art in their free time. instead of using a viewer, i'd like to just use cat in xterm. this worked flawlessly on gentoo, which is why i'm so confused as to why it doesn't work on ubuntu. [00:48] Twister: If you must go with nvidia, then go cheap with a 6600GT or 8800GT [00:48] any udev gurus here? [00:48] Jack_Sparrow, the -s just tells it not to make a backup [00:48] Fryguy-- so rm /boot/grub/splashimages/2145.xpm.gz is all I need? [00:48] kantlivelong: ask a question, don't ask to ask [00:48] hey ppl, i appreciate if somebody can help me.. i want to install ubuntu as my main os but i can't connect anything.. firefox, pidgin, nothing.. i've tried a lot of things but i can only view google inc. sites.. somebody has any hint? [00:48] accessd: Sorry I cannot help you more. Maybe you could ask in Gentoo what makes it work there. [00:48] anyone know what package to install to get the C headers and library for "getopt.h"? I'm not finding it in synaptic... [00:48] is their anyone that knows if it is possible to reinstall gnome without reinstalling Ubuntu, things are really messed up in gnome for me [00:48] Jack_Sparrow: no, other way around [00:49] mau_dias: What do you mean 'can't connet anything' ? [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: delete the link, not the original file [00:49] Fryguy-- yea got it [00:49] m-c: ok, thanks for the effort. :P [00:49] m-c man, i have no access.. no internet [00:49] i'm using windows now [00:49] Fryguy--, okay that's done. do you know how to start this gtk engine ? [00:49] dunno what's happening [00:49] Fryguy-- so sudo rm /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz is all I need? [00:49] mau_dias: what kind of connection ? [00:49] spanther: use a theme that uses it [00:49] cable routed [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: yes [00:50] Fryguy-- thanks.. brain fart fternoon [00:50] mau_dias: What does System -> Admin -> Network Settings say ? [00:50] mau_dias: do you have an eth0 interface? does it have an IP associated with it? does /etc/resolv.conf have dns entries? was dhclient running? [00:50] well [00:50] i'll write it down, get these info and brb [00:50] hehehe [00:50] BlackCow: just delete everything gnome related in your home directory [00:51] hello all [00:51] Tamale, sometimes you need to reboot after setting samba up also make sure you got the shares set on windows might also reboot windows [00:51] have a question, although i suspect there is no easy answer after scouring google, but i'm looking for something similar to nlite, but for ubuntu, i'm an it guy and would like to customize some nice ready to go copies to replace windoze desktops... any pointers? [00:51] there is an archiver more quickly than tar ? [00:51] OB1FoShoB, clonezilla ? [00:51] bloodrock: The shares showed up in Gutsy, and I've already rebooted my heron install since installing / configuring samba [00:51] Fryguy-- he said he is not used to linux yet.. [00:51] OB1FoShoB: check out linux from scratch project, and there's plenty of tutorials about for making customized cds/dvds of ubuntu [00:52] when I use some svg pictures as icons for desktop apps they become blurry when they're streched , any ideas why ?

[00:52] mehdi_: no [00:52] Tamale, did ya reboot windows [00:52] fryguy-- you're telling him to check eth0 and he's not comfortable with linux [00:52] Tamale: no [00:52] thank u bodsha and fryguy will check both out [00:52] bloodrock: Many times [00:52] tama should not need a wins server [00:52] m-c: so? there's plenty of basic tutorials about how to use ifconfig on the internet, and there's a wonderful man page for it [00:52] Fryguy--: I tried doing that, but I still get the error when I start up and it still takes forever to boot up in gnome. I am wondering if I am missing a file... [00:53] abe3k, its a confirmed bug -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/92127 [00:53] Launchpad bug 92127 in eog "SVG images look blurry when zoomed in" [Unknown,Confirmed] [00:53] aren't they just supposed to show up in "network - windows network" ? [00:53] BlackCow: you probably are. Easy check would be to create a new user and log in as that user and see if problems persist [00:53] how can i make my fonts look like mint linux? [00:53] fryguy-- Or you could direct him to the graphical interface... [00:53] Fryguy--: ok thanks, ill try that out! [00:53] m-c: I don't know the graphical interface, and checking the list of things I highlighted is faster to do on the command line [00:53] Bodasda : my friend has a hardy and he uses the same icon but its not blurred [00:53] l815 - find out what font it is, and install it [00:54] Bodsda : my friend has a hardy and he uses the same icon but its not blurred [00:54] abe3k, no idea, i just googled it, i suggest you do the same [00:54] i've already installed the mtcore fonts [00:54] i have an ati card right now, and having issues with it. goign to try the drivers direct from ati though and see if those make a difference [00:54] abe3k: wht icon do you use? [00:54] Tamale, did you install system-config-samba [00:54] Hello, i have a problem with avant window navigator. it segfaults before it starts, any ideas? [00:55] nikin: http://kde-files.org/CONTENT/content-files/41569-wow-icon-scalable.svg [00:55] bloodrock: No, that package wasn't installed.. I just installed it now [00:55] bloodrock: Ah.. now i have some options to configure.. thank you :) [00:55] abe3k: and it is blury? an SVG? hmm what desktop do you use it on? [00:56] Tamale, that should help i too have had probs with seeing the wins share til i installed that [00:56] Bodsda, I used "ifconfig". It listed eth0, local loopback and Point-to-Point protocol. There were several IP addresses, tried them all in Firefox and it didn't open anything. Can I somehow change the gateway to the ethernet modem? [00:56] I'm using ubuntu hardy [00:56] crazy question - but is there an app that will remember what all I have open, and whats open in that and then reboot and just restore the previous state of my desktop? [00:56] What's the terminal command to update again? sudo aptitude update?? [00:56] does anyone know where I can hire/rent a flash coder? [00:56] MannyCalavera, have you tried pinging it to see if your connected? do you have the internet? [00:56] bloodrock: Neither of my windows computers are showing up yet though in Network [00:57] nikin : gnome on ubuntu hardy with compiz-fusion [00:57] swansk_, yeah, or use apt-get [00:57] Bodsda, pinging what? I have the internet, otherwise I couldn't get to IRC ? :) [00:57] cyndre use the 'sessions' option [00:57] ohh reminds me, i need to update my freebsd machine === angusb_ is now known as angusb [00:57] abe3k: abe3k are you sure that you did not download the renderedversion sohow from your browser? btw.. just a sec i test [00:57] nikin : this is the command i use [00:57] cyndre - system/prefrences/sessions [00:57] I'm running compiz config with my ati driver and it's running really slow, any ideas how to speed it up? I had compiz on hoary working fine, but this advanced graphics setting just lags the hell out of it. Any ideas? [00:57] MannyCalavera, run this sudo ping -c 10 192.168.1.1 [00:58] nikin : wget http://kde-files.org/CONTENT/content-files/41569-wow-icon-scalable.svg -O WoW.svg [00:58] I am getting that Admin Application error again "unable to resolve Host" [00:59] What is that file I modify that has "host" in it? [00:59] anyone have an ati on 8.04 and running compiz config and getting good speeds? [00:59] abe3k, looks cool :) [00:59] DeadKennedy2880: And thus why I asked - I would never have found that - ty very much [00:59] demism: Yup, very speedy here on my X1600 pro [00:59] spanther : Grrrrrrr [00:59] Tamale right from the getgo? [00:59] cyndre -np yw [00:59] demism... yes.. what seems to be your issue? what card? x1200 here [00:59] why is it so blurry on my PC ? O.o [00:59] x600 here [00:59] abe3k: i used wget to and the icon works here in xubuntu [00:59] demism, my dad does, dunno what card but OOTB running fine [00:59] Bodsda, it didn't return anything. :-/ but I am connected, firefox works and I downloaded some codecs seconds ago... [01:00] but other svgs are fine as far as I can see . [01:00] abe3k, do you use 24bit ? [01:00] MannyCalavera, mind if i pm you? [01:00] Bodsda : can you tell me the file that has "host" in it so I can make sure it matches what my gui is telling me. [01:00] abe3k: image viewing programs show it right? [01:00] Bodsda, of course i don't [01:00] demism: Yup [01:00] nikin : let me see [01:00] I had this running really fast on 6.04 now it's just really laggy, not sure about the whole setup since it's a new version [01:00] demism, you havent installed glx have you? [01:00] swansk_, i dunno where it is, maybe /etc/hosts [01:00] no [01:01] Tamale, in the samba config under prefrences in it for server settings set it to the name you use on windows for the net group [01:01] wait, I have xgl [01:01] Bodsda thanks [01:01] glx is not xgl demism [01:01] net group? === RandomCake__ is now known as RandomCake [01:01] workgroup?

THANKS [01:01] swansk_, your welcome [01:01] yes workgroup name sorry [01:01] speps: no [01:01] how do I find out if I have glx? [01:01] demism, does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contain a Composite "enable" line? [01:02] nikin : but in the gnome viewer its blurred [01:02] if you havent installed it its not there demism [01:02] Fryguy--: ...brute force? [01:02] abe3k: then the problem is in nautilus somewhere.. whoch i dont have... :( sorry.. but you can also try to save it from gimp to PNG in any esolution you prefer [01:02] tj83: Nope no composite enable [01:02] nikin : thats what I'm going to do if theres no solution :/ [01:02] nikin : but why this svg lol ? [01:03] nikin : other ones streach perfectly [01:03] abe3k: no idea... what about other SVG s in gnomre? [01:03] i remember adding that back in the day [01:03] Tamale, also prob wanna check your settings on the windows machine as to how you got the shareing set [01:03] do you have maybe antialiassing turned on? [01:03] nikin : the original svgs + some other ones I have are good [01:03] tj83: What is it exactly I need to add? [01:03] bloodrock: The share i want to access is wide open [01:03] does this bluring depend on the SVG"s document resolution? [01:03] demism, actually i was going to suggest removing it lol [01:04] is it a good idea to have a different partition/hdd for /var/ ? [01:04] abe3k: what if gnome plies antialissing on the document specified resoltion of the SVG wih is here 32x32 [01:04] .. let me make you an other SVG [01:04] i recently ran dd to copy partitions from one (dying drive) to another). i then phsycially removed the old drive and put the new one in it... but when i booted it up;... it just said "GRUB"... what am i doing now? [01:04] Tamale, k then it should show up are you seeing anything at all like a workgroup icon [01:04] abe3k: just a min [01:04] nikin : this might be true [01:04] yes, the workgroup icon is there [01:04] hahah... I think I had to do a disable option [01:04] nikin : but how can I fix the resolution then ? [01:04] but there is nothing in it [01:05] arooni-mobile: you probably did not copy the whole drive [01:05] Tamale, did ya click on it [01:05] demism, if you pastebin your xorg.conf i'll look but right off i have no other suggestions. what does glxgears tell you? [01:05] yes, it opens up and there is nothing inside it [01:05] abe3k: with any program that can manipulate SVG-s.. like inkscape [01:05] Tamale, did ya reboot the windows machine [01:05] nikin : hmmm ok I'll try to DL it [01:05] well glxgears was running nice [01:06] but now it's awful [01:06] demism, what about FPS?

[01:22] arooni-mobile: nvidia doesn't have anything to do with it [01:22] what program is the best to burn an iso image [01:22] cdrecord [01:23] !polls | arooni-mobile [01:23] arooni-mobile: 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. [01:23] arooni-mobile: K3b [01:23] heh [01:23] legend2440, thanks [01:23] Penopticon: is K3b installed on a Ubuntu system? [01:25] danc3, no, you need to install it. [01:25] ugh k3b doesnt let me burn an cdrom iso to a dvdr disc [01:25] bazhang: exactly.... that's why that answer isn't the best for what was asked... [01:25] arooni-mobile: of course it does [01:25] arooni-mobile: oh, nevermind [01:26] danc3, it says 'please insert an empty cd-r medium' [01:26] arooni-mobile: right. That's because it's a CD ISO, not a DVD ISO [01:27] danc3, but i have a dvd disc in there... the image is not a dvd iso... so it seems im stuck with this software :( [01:27] arooni-mobile: huh? [01:27] danc3: You can install it from the package manager. It is a KDE program but works well on Gnome. [01:27] arooni-mobile: you CANNOT burn a CD image to a DVD disc. [01:27] danc3, i dont think it will let me burn a cd iso image to a dvd disc [01:27] arooni-mobile: jeeeeeeeeeeez, that's what I'm trying to tell you [01:27] arooni-mobile: Yes it does. [01:28] Penopticon: no, it won't [01:28] ugh k3b doesnt let me burn an cdrom iso to a dvdr disc [01:28] bazhang: exactly.... that's why that answer isn't the best for what was asked... [01:28] arooni-mobile: of course it does [01:28] i thought you could burn a cd iso to dvd [01:28] you can burn a cdrom iso to a dvd [01:28] nope [01:28] hmmm, not sure if I am being helped or have been abandoned, going to post in #ubuntu-motu, just didn't want to offend anybody in this channel [01:28] arooni-mobile: read the next line past that [01:28] no, i believe you can [01:29] just burn the cd iso to the dvd [01:29] danc3: You're right, I didn't read the question right. No software will do that. [01:29] exactly [01:29] xocite: can't do it [01:29] ok so if i dont have a cdr disk i'm screwed? [01:29] arooni-mobile: yes [01:29] booh [01:29] dd if=~/cd.iso of=/dev/dvd [01:30] xocite, does that owrk? [01:30] maybe i'm being stupid then. [01:30] arooni-mobile: Don't use a re-writeable disc. [01:30] i was thinking that padding the drive would sort out the issue [01:30] arooni-mobile, you could download wubi and install ubuntu that way it downloads ubuntu and installs it [01:30] medium doesnt matter, iso will fill what it need and kill the rest of the medium [01:31] arooni-mobile, cd's are cheap; why not just buy some. [01:31] DeadKennedy2880: exactly, so you can burn a cd iso to a dvd iso [01:31] xocite: I believe they have different headers - cd uses redbook - dvd uses some odd thing. I could be wrong, though [01:31] anteaya: they may know in channel #ruby-lang or #ruby [01:31] bazhang, cuz i dont have any now [01:31] hmm [01:31] no, you cannot burn a CD iso to a DVD blank [01:31] let me research the issue [01:31] legend2440, thank you [01:31] xocite - did it with windows and nero i believe it was [01:32] danc3: people do that all the time actually burn cd iso to a dvd blank [01:32] sure you can. done it many many times. [01:32] arooni-mobile: You could always install a Virtual Server. [01:32] try it and let the rest of us know for sure [01:32] tried burning cd iso to dvd - didn't work [01:32] lol [01:32] doesn't work [01:32] What's the difference between V0 and 256 CBR audio files? [01:32] danc3: hmm just worked fine here [01:32] danc3: yes it does work.... I did it to burn my windows disk in ubuntu... [01:32] i need to know asap [01:32] medium shouldnt matter [01:33] linkmaster03: why don't you just Google it? [01:33] i tried [01:33] i cant find it [01:33] oh come on [01:33] try again [01:33] i tried a lot [01:33] im in a tough situation [01:33] lol are we getting offtopic? [01:33] not really [01:34] arooni-mobile, call up a friend and see if they got a blank cd-r or cd-rw you can have lol [01:34] are you fokls *SURE* you cant burn a cd iso to a dvdr disc? (ubuntu live cd) [01:34] create a vitual cd [01:34] YES [01:35] you can buy an iso to dvdr [01:35] you just have to use growisofs really [01:35] arooni-mobile - i liked someones wubi install till you can get a cd [01:35] is there a way of turning a cd iso into a dvd iso? [01:35] yes [01:36] how? [01:36] asmodai[b] - explain.....? [01:36] yes i just did and it worked [01:36] arooni-mobile: I know how for windows [01:36] gway9000, how did you do that [01:36] just kidding [01:37] kitche, what is growisofs [01:37] http://pastebin.com/m258c77a0 <-- an re-sorted sources.list for easy reading and less lines so apt-get update runs faster too (a lil bit) :) === Guest47756 is now known as JimmyDee [01:39] does anyone know how to scroll up the screen in irssi? === gardar is now known as gardar`away [01:39] evening yall, anyone know the auth method for att's pop servers they dont seem to care to share this and wont support us linuxians [01:39] bonhoffer: shift-pgup?

[01:40] arooni-mobile: try growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/ubuntu.iso [01:41] arooni-mobile: it's how you burn to a dvd medium [01:41] can someone say my name-- trying to test something (thorny_sun) [01:42] kitche, what about just using gnomebaker... it seems to be working [01:42] <_2> my "find" is broke http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d3fc91091 [01:42] thorny_sun: [01:42] legend2440: cool!! one more time!? [01:42] arooni-mobile: all kidding aside using K3B select dvd project and burn and you will be fine [01:42] if I change the permissions of /media/cdrom0 and put something into the drive it changes back to only root, I need to change it back. [01:42] thorny_sun: [01:42] thanks! [01:42] and keep it the way I set it. [01:43] btw guys its ssl and plain text, thanks anyway gnite [01:43] oh you folks were just jokin???? [01:43] arooni-mobile: or that myself I m more of a terminal person [01:43] arooni-mobile: i am not i just did it [01:43] arooni-mobile: choose "burn DVD image" instead of "burn CD image" in K3B [01:44] <_2> anyone know what might be wrong with my "find" ? [01:44] medium dont matter, an *iso is an *iso [01:45] _2 probably using the command wrong [01:45] DeadKennedy2880: it matters to K3b, whether it uses cdrecord or growisofs to burn it. That's why it matters. [01:45] <_2> kitche how so ? [01:45] program flaw [01:45] whatever [01:45] heh [01:45] it matters [01:45] _2: you may need to type sudo updatedb to update the database if you can't find something. [01:46] <_2> legend2440 for what ? find doesn't use a database. [01:46] legend2440: _2 find doesn't use updatedb, locate does [01:46] _2: your probably using find incorrectly so what you think should output does not [01:46] <_2> kitche did you look at the pastebin ? [01:46] what's with all the "FloodBot" messages... what's with the constant channel mode changes? [01:46] _2: ok i thought it used the same database as locate. my bad [01:46] Blaqlight: Did you change the ownership, like I suggested a while ago? [01:47] my dvd software just crashed (gnomebakaer).... i try to open the dvd burner but i cant.... any ideas what to do?

[01:47] but i cant physically open the drive bay! i think cuz the disc is still burning [01:47] <_2> yoyoned i didn't way your find was broke. i said mine is. === m_newton is now known as Captin_CRUNCH [01:47] _2 ls -l /usr [01:48] _2 seems like you don't have permissions to look in /usr really [01:48] <_2> yoyoned /bin/ls: /usr: Permission denied [01:48] Hi, amaya crashes on Gtk: I've checked amaya's archive, but no joy.

[01:48] I had to mount it at one time as root because some of the files on a disc were hidden, now I want to revert it back to my old settings. [01:49] <_2> yoyoned http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d6111c607 [01:49] what's with this mode +/-J that the floodbots are fighting about? [01:49] what's with all the "FloodBot" messages... what's with the constant channel mode changes? [01:49] Blaqlight: does not tell me how you did it - what command? [01:49] <_2> yoyoned my root console is busy atm, i'll get the perms when it finishes. [01:49] philsf, one of them is down so they are in emergency mode [01:50] bazhang: what does mode J mean? [01:50] it automatically mounts it as root r/o [01:50] _2 it looks like you have permision to see /usr/local, but not /usr [01:50] because Im in the fuse group. [01:51] <_2> so basicly for "find" to work on /blah/de/da/do it has to have permission to read /blah ???? that's stupid imo. [01:51] m-c, sudo chown --from root:root john:john /media/cdrom0 < is what I typed [01:51] any Channel Ops here??? The FloodBots are broken... [01:51] <_2> yoyoned correct. so why can't find work in /usr/local/ ? [01:51] danc3, it is a server issue, not a chanops issue [01:51] i have a logitech quickcam communicate and am trying to get it to work, im using ubuntu 8.04..any ideas? [01:51] _2 cd /usr/local and try it [01:52] <_2> hmm k. [01:52] danc3: they aren't broken from what I have seen it's just limiting the channel of users and keeping the flood to a low really [01:52] bazhang: can't somebody boot one of the Floodbots? [01:52] <_2> yoyoned works that way... [01:52] Blaqlight: Sounds like something in fuse needs to be reconfigured correctly. Sorry, I am stuck when it comes to fuse. Maybe someone else can help you [01:52] kitche: one bot turns on +J, the other turns it off [01:52] _2 weird permisions [01:52] think of the irony, the floobots are flooding the chan [01:52] <_2> yoyoned that will prolly get me by what i'm fixing. thanks.

[02:12] eaerthmeLon [02:12] moosepants m-c sorry for posting like that [02:12] Blaqlight, that's a CD filesystem - which means its a read-only filesystem - are you sure it is cdfs? [02:12] I installed Ubuntu to find my sound not working at all, and I'm pretty clueless right now on how to fix it. [02:12] earthmeLon: You probably need to specify your external IP address somewhere [02:13] I changed something to 0.0.0.0 [02:13] and it says that means it is listening to all interfaces moosepants [02:13] Yo, is there any VMWare gurus in the house? === robert__ is now known as Guest57618 [02:13] earthmeLon: Yes, it is, but its telling the clients to connect passive mode to your internal address, not your external address [02:14] Sweet, Think putting my dydns.org domain in there would be good, or should I use my ipaddy itself?

[02:16] Ironfoot: module is "snd_hda_intel" [02:16] i am getting the following error... VMWare tools service is not running [02:16] Blaqlight, you need to change the mount-point options to have files owned by a specific user -- see the man mountpage / under "mount options for iso9660" , specifically the uid and gid option [02:16] !umount [02:16] Factoid umount not found [02:16] anybody here know anything about maintaining an apt repo?

[02:18] unop, will that fix it so that when it automounts the volume it will stay, or is that just temporary? [02:18] danc3, nothing is muted [02:18] i can help if you are a hot chick... [02:18] I'm hosting an APT repository... when I update the packages in my repo will the people who use my repo see an automatic updates popup? [02:19] anteaya, you should be able to unmount volumes within nautilus - just right click the volume and select unmount / eject [02:19] Ironfoot: what sound isn't working? CD audio, web audio, what? === vith is now known as vithos [02:19] danc3, any audio whatsoever. MP3 audio, sound alerts... [02:19] Blaqlight, well it depends on how you mount the volume -- if you use the mount command, this will last so long the volume is mounted, if you place these options in /etc/fstab, they ought to be permanent [02:19] Ironfoot: are you sure the module is loaded? use "lsmod" to see [02:19] unop ah thank you, i actually did try nautilus prior to posting and didn't see the unmount option [02:20] Anyone? [02:20] ok /etc/fstab was the one thing I wanted to know about. thanks. [02:20] hi, I'm having trouble setting up my 2nd mouse with xorg, I'm able to get my synaptic touchpad working, however it will not let me use my usb wireless mouse as well, I've checked the kernel log and it is recognized and configure not sure if I need to do something special for xorg.conf or why exactly it isn't working === raju_ is now known as tuxer [02:21] danc3, Oh wow, it's not. Thanks for that. Another noob question, Do I load it using modprobe? [02:21] Ironfoot: yes [02:21] deeceefar2 - ive had alot of success with BTNX [02:21] i have about every module for a usb webcam you can have loaded...this cam still doesnt work [02:22] Ironfoot: although... Ubuntu should have detected the sound system and loaded that module automatically... not sure why it didn't do that. === tuxer is now known as tuxed [02:22] unop, this is what fstab says about that mount point : /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto < whats missing/wrong [02:22] deadkennedy2880: I'll look at that, anything special that needs to be done in xorg? [02:22] Blaqlight, the uid and gid options === tuxed is now known as raj [02:23] danc3, It works now. Not sure why it didnt do that before. Thank you!!!! [02:23] deeceefar2 - not a thing, thats why i love it [02:23] Ironfoot: welcome [02:23] deadkennedy2880: not in apt is it? [02:23] deeceefar2 i think so, an older version i believe [02:23] Blaqlight, i ought to say tho, you shouldnt really be needing to do this -- as long as you have the capability to read the files on the volume, you are fine (which is what is intended on a iso9660 volume) [02:24] whats up with _ before and after peoples names?

Note that i actually encoded my own x264, so i should have the x264 codec shouldn't i? [02:46] if its this hard to get ubuntu running for the average person; they would have given up by now [02:46] does anyone know if the radeon hd series are compatable with ubuntu im new to linux [02:46] arooni-mobile, so you have ubuntu, and you want another one? [02:46] Dorothoes: what doesn't ubuntu recognize? [02:46] DeadKennedy2880, oh dear, its gonna be one of these ones ;~) [02:46] arooni-mobile: it is not hard if you hsve the right media [02:46] bodsda - all he needs is a blank cd [02:46] arooni-mobile, what bios? are you dual booting? [02:46] DeadKennedy2880, amen [02:46] anybody know of a problem with static ip and dns using network manager? [02:46] Leefmc: some programs use one lib for a certain codec.. some use other [02:46] DeadKennedy2880, i did md5 ... scroll back and you'll find that silly [02:47] my video card [02:47] arooni-mobile - you md5 the burn tho [02:47] arooni-mobile: name calling? [02:47] Leefmc: other programs play your file? [02:47] thanks rainwalker [02:47] Dorothoes: for...? [02:47] i'm frustated when folks are saying i didnt do my homework; when i did; just to make me look bad! [02:47] it only allows 800 pixels display [02:47] i'm trying to install the drivers for the nvidia geforce 8800gt graphics card (software from their site). When i follow the directions and run their download, it says that it appears that i have an xserver running and to "close x". how do i do this? [02:47] Dorothoes: what video card? [02:47] its not conducive to helping anyone [02:47] arooni-mobile, lets start fresh -- you have an Ubuntu livecd? [02:48] nvidia 256 [02:48] md5 the burn, not the image [02:48] nikin: Movie Player does, though there are some issues. But the fact that MPlayer doesn't even support the x264 is annoying. [02:48] arooni-mobile: you were given great advice from several people - you failed to follow any frustration you feel is ................ [02:48] Bodsda, yes; burned it at 1x; the bios is award cmos bios; no oem; i built it myself [02:48] i think its a nvidia mcp67m [02:48] arooni-mobile, and its set to boot from cd? [02:49] Bodsda, oh yes [02:49] arooni-mobile, and you put in the cd what happens? [02:49] arooni-mobile, did you get all the updates or what [02:49] Dorothoes: in a terminal, run "lspci" and look for your video card [02:49] hwilde, updates for a livecd?? [02:49] k one sec [02:49] nikin: I've been finding out that video support is horrible on ubuntu haha. It has been such a pain to get a web compliant progressive downloading h264 compiles. [02:49] Bodsda, it starts up; and i select 'start ubuntu without modifying your system' [02:49] -s+d [02:49] Bodsda, there was a release candidate cd image out htere [02:49] DeadKennedy2880, while I agree with the md5 wholeheartedly, it could also be physical. I've seen a cheaper computer do the same thing with a pressed cd of 7.01 [02:49] arooni-mobile: you still here? I thought you were advised to go download the proper format (cd/dvd) ISO and then burn it properly, and then install. Why are you still here wasting your time? [02:49] is there a command-line tool in Ubuntu to read the CPU temperature? [02:49] Anyone needs PHP,Linux,Perl programming , 6$ /hr ? [02:50] hwilde, theres nothing wrong with the normal one [02:50] Leefmc: no idea on that i am no video expert [02:50] Beryllium: acpi -t [02:50] chetan_, dont! [02:50] nikin: Its been hell, and im still not there heh [02:50] chetan at zeuscoder dot com [02:50] danc3, cuz it would make no sense that you cant have a cd image on a dvd disc... i asked in various other channels and they told me that this is absolutely fine [02:50] Seven_Six_Two - he burned the cd image to a dvd [02:50] hey [02:50] everyone [02:50] i fail to see how doing that is poor [02:50] arooni-mobile - maybe it cant be done as bootable media [02:51] i need help [02:51] arooni-mobile: yeah, but whatever... do it properly, and get it done. You're wasting your time (and ours) [02:51] DeadKennedy2880, hahaha. ok. Well it must be ubuntu that's to blame for that, no? It should be easier. [02:51] um [02:51] guys arooni-mobile does not have a cd available so he burned a cd iso to a dvd he was told to burn the dvd iso to a dvd but he has taken 2hrs to try and debug the cd iso to dvd [02:51] how can i change the resolution (CLI) of gdm ??

[03:09] Killarny: yes [03:09] tab key does nothing [03:09] Ohzie, lol probably not but htat never stoppe dnobody [03:09] Hello all, I am trying to find someone able to help me get my ATI mobile video card to work correctly with my laptop and extanil monitor, I have read alot but don't understand it at all, I am running the priv drivers and the 3D is working it appears based on running glxgears or some thing like that if you can help me I ask that we go into a seperate chat as I am legally blind and won't see the response fast before they disappear [03:09] Ohzie, just make a partition and mkisofs style [03:09] Ohzie, i believe it is safe to upgrade from dapper to hardy directly [03:09] although if you are using samba to manage these permissions, the filelevel permissions aren't going to do much, since windows machines don't really have the concept of owner/group/other [03:10] and so samba manages those permissions, and you really want to be editing smb.conf [03:10] hwilde: That! That's what I'm looking for. Do you know how to do that? [03:10] !xinerama | spiritssigh1 [03:10] spiritssigh1: 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 [03:10] Wow look at all these message , They coming like the boot messages on my ubuntu :p [03:10] !repeat | spiritssigh1 [03:10] spiritssigh1: 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 [03:10] spiritssigh1, if you scroll up a bit, the screen will stop scrolling on it's own, then you can read the responses [03:10] lol @ Seven_Six_Two -- so right [03:10] Seven_Six_Two, that's assuming he's using a sane client :) [03:10] Fryguy--: says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.100/, missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so" [03:11] unop, meh, if not its his fault [03:11] Ohzie, LOL HOWTO: Install Ubuntu Linux without burning a cd http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28948 [03:11] AndrewGearhart: so then specify a valid share [03:11] unop, that's true. I msg'd that response as well... [03:11] hwilde: Thank you! [03:11] Bodsda, making assumptions about someone else is his fault? [03:11] Ohzie: you can use grub and boot using http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux and http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz and install [03:11] unop, no, having an insane client is the person with the insane client's fault [03:12] Bodsda, hey i tried fixmbr on my laptop and it had a winge abt invalid partition tables or something and i did it neway, but grub is still there and i still cant get into windows. ne ideas? [03:12] Whitey88, yeah, it would be handy to no the exact whine'ing and you could reinstall grub from live cd [03:12] Bodsda, you call the command line clients like irssi and bitchx insane? [03:13] unop, yes (to me) never liked them [03:13] Bodsda, grub is still there, but i just had a thought as to y [03:13] Bodsda: irssi is great for those times when you have no idea how to fix your xserver and need some tech support [03:13] hi, how do you setup a file server ? [03:13] !gizomo [03:13] Factoid gizomo not found [03:13] Ohzie, indeed, im not saying it isnt [03:13] Ohzie: most people I know use irssi on a daily basis as their irc client of choice [03:13] Bodsda: and you're like "uhh...it would be great if I had a console irc client. Oh wait!" [03:13] !samba | isildur [03:13] isildur: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [03:14] Ohzie: i leave mine attached to a screen session on my freebsd machine that I just reconnect to. Handy to keep all logs on one machine and always be online [03:14] Fryguy--: That's handy too! I used eggdrop for that though. [03:14] ubott2 how do i make it possible for other people to access my server ?that are not in my network [03:14] isildur: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:14] unop, using anything that doesn't have the features that you really need is insane. [03:15] !info ftp | ubott2 [03:15] ubott2: ftp (source: netkit-ftp): The FTP client. In component main, is standard. Version 0.17-16build1 (hardy), package size 49 kB, installed size 152 kB [03:15] isildur: install ssh server and make sure port 22 is available to the world and then just create accounts for people [03:15] Err [03:15] Seven_Six_Two, you might as well say that about anything you use [03:15] Ohzie, wtf?

Version 0.17-27 (hardy), package size 42 kB, installed size 176 kB [03:15] lol [03:15] Seven_Six_Two, and i disagree with that completely [03:15] That's what he needed. [03:15] Oh that was supposed to go to isildur. [03:15] Ohzie, why are you sending the bot info? [03:15] :[ [03:15] anyone here familiar with configuring xmame? [03:15] Bodsda: Meant that to go to isildur. It was a typo. A really bad one. [03:16] unop, I would. That's why I use linux. I'm guessing that this will end up off topic, but I'd like to know what you mean by that [03:16] AeronTG: ask a question, don't ask to ask [03:16] Ohzie, more then once ;~) [03:16] Bodsda: No, I made the typo once, then hit up and added the 'd' for deamon. THEN I realized my original mistake. :[ [03:16] thanks guys i think:P [03:16] Alright, I'm just a medium-range user... I'm trying to use this Sessions dialog in Preferences to get padevchooser to come up every time I start a session, but it wont save that preference when I close it. Is there any alternative means of telling Ubuntu what programs I want it to run when I start up? [03:17] Ohzie, hehe,.,. oh, sometimes remembering things hurts ;~) [03:17] Bodsda: :[ [03:17] Genotrius: you can change your session in gdm to use a .xinirc file instead, which is basically just a script file of things that you do when you first start an X session (things like what you want, and the last step is starting a window manager or desktop environment) [03:17] Seven_Six_Two, we'll save that for another day, shall we? the debate's pointless and the person's issue has been addressed [03:17] i downloaded the xubuntu desktop. how do you boot into it? [03:18] deadkennedy2880: nothing :( [03:18] adude: put disc in drive, make sure your computer is set to boot from your optical drive, and then reboot [03:18] unop, if you'd like. I'm just interested in your opinion, that's all. [03:18] adude:burn it to a cd, then setup ur PC to boot first from the CD [03:18] Fryguy--: Mind if I PM? [03:18] Genotrius: don't pm me [03:18] Genotrius: just keep it in the channel [03:19] Fryguy--: Ahh, alright. how do I set that up? [03:19] Genotrius: create a .xinitrc file, run what you want in it (background all processes except the last one with &), and then when your are in gdm just click options and specify a new session [03:19] ubuntu gurus! using hardy, pidgin + message notification plugin set to use "URGENT" hint-- how do i make this actually work? nothing is happening.. [03:20] it should be one of the options, or you might have to create a new session in something like /etc/gdm/Sessions (it varies distro to distro and I don't have ubuntu installed, so google for specifics) [03:20] What is this ? Does everyone here talk only about problems? :p [03:20] abhishek, yes [03:20] thorny_sun: what are you expecting to happen [03:20] i have ubuntu installed. and i thought i could pick what desktop to login to from the start screen. [03:20] abhishek, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [03:20] Bodsda, i think i made it worse.... i tried the fixboot command and now i get a disk error. would reinstalling grub fix it? [03:20] my root user is missing his xauthentication file =/ [03:20] adude: what do you have installed [03:20] adude: gnome + gnome-do... its all you need.. === os2mac_ is now known as os2mac [03:20] Fryguy--: i'm expecing the something like the screen to blink or something? [03:20] adude: what specifically are you trying to do [03:20] Fryguy--: hm. I'm puzzled... the fileshare appears to be correct... anything else that I could be doing wrong there? [03:21] adude: if you logout, xfce should be an option when you log back in. Look under sessions [03:21] adude: did u download the xubuntu-desktop or xubuntu iso? [03:21] thorny_sun: the behavior is defined by your window manager and how it handles window hints [03:21] Fryguy--: I really don't know how to do any of those things. [03:21] AndrewGearhart: no [03:21] Fryguy--: what do people normally do with the "URGENT"hint? [03:21] Genotrius: google is your friend [03:21] i downloaded the xubuntu-desktop [03:21] Fryguy--: Thanks. [03:21] Whitey88, you mean fixmbr? and yes probably [03:21] * ace_suares is in da house! [03:21] Fryguy--: what is my window manager and how do i configure how it handles window hints? [03:21] thorny_sun: ignore it, blink taskbar if there is one available, bring to forefront are things i've seen in window managers i've used [03:22] your window manager is probably compiz-fusion [03:22] adude: logout of gnome, then on the login screen, choose a session [03:22] How to get there? This is my first IRC run (kinda ) ? I just installed gnome-xchat , started it and I am here between problems:p [03:22] Fryguy--: yeah i think it is-- so how do i get compiz-fusion to handle window hints? [03:22] thorny_sun: no idea [03:22] i will google-- thanks! [03:22] thorny_sun: i don't use compiz fusion === gnychis_ is now known as gnychis [03:22] at least now i know what to google [03:22] Bodsda, i did fixmbr and grub was still there, i think it was because i had installed grub to a partition and not the start of the drive, so i did fixboot on the partition with windows (the one i put grub on [03:23] ) and now i get disk error [03:23] what speed should i burn the live cd to (on a cdrw) [03:23] Whitey88, boot live cd, and lets fix this mess [03:23] Bodsda, How to to get to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:23] Whitey88: can u still boot to windows? [03:23] arooni-mobile: whatever speed your burner supports [03:23] arooni-mobile, 4 or lower [03:23] tech007, no, nuthin just disk error after bios screen [03:23] abhishek: type /j #ubuntu-offtopic, or just double click on the text you just typed (if you are in xchat, which i think you said you are, i dunno i haven't used xchat in years) [03:24] k3b ok? === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [03:24] what do i do when my root user is missing hi xauth. file >.> [03:24] tech0007, can you walk him through sudo grub etc etc -- ? ;~) [03:24] D3RGPS31: I was under the impression that that file is created automatically [03:24] D3RGPS31: be mroe specific (if you are referring to Xauthority just delete it and make another [03:25] arooni-mobile, yes it's fine. just don't choose data cd [03:25] D3RGPS31: but are you logged in as root ?? [03:25] D3RGPS31, nothing, root really isn't supposed to use X [03:25] How do I stop this thing from defaulting to my Mythtv login? Mythtv is broken and i'm in an infinit loop until I can figure out how to boot to my other login. [03:25] ace_suares no [03:25] Bodsda, k do u want me to go into linux thru the live disc or just to the menu [03:25] is xmms2 the new xmms ? and does it work together with streamtuner ? (streamtuner searchs for internet radio and sends start informations to xmms) [03:25] oo, then i have another problem xD [03:25] D3RGPS31: so how are you getting to the point that the error 'missing Xauth' is coming up ? [03:25] Whitey88, i need you to boot the livecd [03:25] spanther: xmms2 isn't similar to xmms at all [03:26] spanther, xmms is a dead project now. or nearly dead [03:26] ace_suares: i just got back onto linux after using windows for a week and abunch of errors came up =/ [03:26] damn :( [03:26] spanther: just audacious.. even xmms skins works with it [03:26] hello, i installed ubuntu hardy on a new 500gb disk.. with guided partition so i have a 490gb, 3gb ext, 3gb swap... is there a way to split the main 490gb partition now? its mounted so wont let me resize from gparted [03:26] Bodsda, k its there, had 2 find the disc again, lol [03:26] Whitey88, booted? [03:26] and why are you running X as root? [03:26] spanther, it's not bad. There are plenty of good mini players to use. like beep [03:26] spanther: try audacious [03:26] D3RGPS31: 'back to linux' you mean you got a login screen !? [03:27] IndyGunFreak, does audacious have a internet radio browser ? [03:27] spanther, i know gxmms (the xmms2 gnome frontend) handles internet radio - not sure about the streamtuner part [03:27] axe_suares what!? [03:27] lol [03:27] spanther, if you want something full featured, try amarok [03:27] okay :) [03:27] ace_suares, the question you should be asking him is why he is intending to run X as root [03:27] D3RGPS31: what do you mean by 'get back to linux after a week' ? [03:27] Bodsda, its thinkin abt it, lol almost there [03:27] hi [03:27] unop: thnaks for that suggestion! [03:27] spanther: i'm not sure if audacious has internet radio, i believe rhythmbox does [03:28] ace_suares: i was using windows for the past week, i got too comfortable with it [03:28] unop, well streamtuner is a viewer for internet radio from many providers like shoutcast and so on you click play there after marking a stream and it starts xmms to play it ^^" [03:28] D3RGPS31: yeah i understand but what did you do, reboot and choose linux from the menu ? [03:28] is there a easyer way to share folders with my wifes pc other the nfs thats alot on terminal stuff involved [03:28] rhythmbox does. and it's been greatly improved since I first tried it. [03:28] hey all :) [03:28] ace_suares yes [03:28] spanther, i would be inclined to say xmms2 can handle streamtuner but i can't be sure - worth a try [03:28] l3d, are they both linux? [03:28] ouch the attack of the FloodBot's tonight? xD [03:28] * Fryguy-- just uses foobar2000 on windows :/ [03:29] yes [03:29] D3RGPS31: so waht haoppend then, you got the progress bar and then a screen that asks fort you username ? [03:29] anyone play counter-strike source? [03:29] taes81: i do [03:29] okay so is amarok gtk and gnome compatible ? and does it list shoutcast radio streams? [03:29] ubuntu 8.04 [03:29] Fryguy-- on ubuntu? [03:29] anyone know about static ip and DNS problem when using network setting...after reboot unable to get browser on the internet [03:29] taes81: i have [03:29] taes81: i run vista x64 now [03:29] l3d, if it's just a temporary fix, you could install kde and use the fish:// in konqueror [03:29] what do i use to see shared folders [03:29] nice [03:29] Bodsda, its there [03:29] spanther, amarok is a KDE app - it handles shoutcast streams [03:29] sun01tech: what is in /etc/resolv.conf ? [03:29] unop, but i have gnome :( [03:30] spanther, but it will work fine [03:30] My gparted won't recognize my different partitions that i have on my drive. can someone help me out? :) [03:30] Fryguy-- is cs:s no better on linux? [03:30] Whitey88, open a terminal and type 'sudo grub' [03:30] ace_suares progress bar, told me i had some errors in some random inode blocks, restarted, progress bar again, went through all tests, reboot again, then login [03:30] ok [03:30] taes81: about the same i guess [03:30] spanther, that doesn't stop you from using KDE applications tho :) you can install amarok [03:30] D3RGPS31: login as what ? root or your regular user ? [03:30] Hmm Would Anyone know about nessus? I am trying to audit my own computers security, and when I installed and registered nessus it gave me this: Now fetching the newest plugin set from plugins.nessus.org...all-2.0.sig is not the valid signature for all-2.0.tar.gz...E: Archive signature does not match..Aborting?? :( [03:30] Bodsda, done [03:30] ace_suares regular, i don't login as root ever [03:30] unop, no thx i'll stay at gnome :) [03:30] Fryguy-- what kind of vid card do you have?

[03:30] taes81: random nvidia geforce 6800 [03:31] D3RGPS31: okay and you got the gnome or kde desktop ? where did you get the error ? [03:31] Fryguy--: I'm so confused... the share is correct... do I need to install anything else... or should a default 8.04 ubuntu just be able to do this? [03:31] brb xchat problems [03:31] Seven_Six_Two: Yes. Registered with my email. [03:31] spanther, so stay on gnome :) and have amarok too [03:31] AndrewGearhart: need to install samba stuff [03:31] Fryguy-- mines only a 7600 [03:31] ace_suares when i tried to goto my Login Window manager, it was suppose to login automatically but i had to do it manually [03:31] AndrewGearhart: what happens if you navigate to \\192.168.1.100 or whatever in nautilius [03:31] Fryguy-- they come out with a new one like wait one sec they just release another one lol [03:31] Bodsda, it says hd(0.5) [03:32] taes81: yah i guess [03:32] would anyone like to help me with gparted not recognizing my partitions? :) feel free...

[03:33] Gaming4J1, that's all I've got. except maybe the forums on the site, since it's a commercial offering as well. [03:33] sun01tech: if you have a static ip addres, the resolv.conf shouldnt change. You have dhcp by any chance ? [03:33] Fryguy--: couldn't find //192.168.1.100 [03:33] or run gparted from ubuntu livecd [03:33] hey, I'm having problems with a REALLY old computer, an old version of Ubuntu and partitions: can anyone help? [03:33] Fryguy-- does the 64bit vista run the best [03:33] AndrewGearhart: you sure that machine exists [03:33] taes81: i dunno [03:33] Fryguy-- how much does that run [03:33] ace_suares when i first tried it afew times, it was saying something about root, xauthority, and error; now it's saying i need to be running GDM wich i think i am [03:33] taes81: i guess [03:33] Bodsda, done, it didnt say nething [03:33] D3RGPS31: and what should login automatically.. normally you need to type your password to access the login window manager [03:33] taes81: no idea [03:33] taes81: i didn't pay for it [03:34] hah nice [03:34] Whitey88, cool now type -- setup (hd0) [03:34] how can i get the size of a directory's total contents? [03:34] is there any reason apache2 would use sites-enabled/000-default instead of sites-enabled/001-example.com ? [03:34] brokebroke: du [03:34] when i go to http://example.com [03:34] brokebroke: du -s [03:34] brokebroke: command or GUI? [03:34] ace_suares my regular account should login automatically [03:34] du doesn't seem accurate. [03:34] wc -c seems accurate but i don't know how to apply it to all sub-contents. [03:34] brokebroke: it is [03:34] Unislash: & Fryguy: thanx would the ubuntu live CD work? [03:34] bt? [03:34] brokebroke: try 'man du' for more options [03:34] When I type: sudo nessus-update-plugins it produces the same error: all-2.0.sig is not the valid signature for all-2.0.tar.gz [03:34] Gault: like i said, yes [03:34] thx [03:34] ace_suares: no, i meant the static ip address for the computer... no i disabled dhcp on my router because i need static ip for each machine connected [03:34] Fryguy--: I'm sitting next to it... and I can ping it [03:34] :-/ [03:34] D3RGPS31: not to the login window manager... ! [03:34] Gault: it should... but mine doesn't for some reason... :( [03:34] Fryguy-- bit-t? [03:34] sorry to be annoying but... [03:35] I'm having problems with a REALLY old computer, an old version of Ubuntu and partitions: can anyone help? [03:35] ace_suares i'm lost D= [03:35] sun01tech: but is you pc configuured for dhcp or static ? [03:35] Gault: of course, it's just because it can't load for some reason (which i'd like to know, btw :P) [03:35] AndrewGearhart: then make sure that samba stuff is installed and that there's actually a share set up [03:35] taes81: ? [03:35] Gaming4J1, that suggests that all-2.0.tar.gz is somehow corrupted -- try downloading it again [03:35] !ask | Maciel [03:35] Maciel: 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. :-) [03:35] Bodsda, done syas its all there and good [03:35] l` [03:35] Macial, what is the problem with your partitions? Can you view them (qtparted, etc?) [03:35] Whitey88, reboot, grub should now work [03:36] ace_suares: yes i changed it to static in the network settings [03:36] well, I was stupid enough to not create partitions when I was installing, and I'm having problems creating one now [03:36] where would i find documentation for pork [03:36] D3RGPS31: Its not very clear what you want. If you boot, you get a login screen. You type user and pass and you get logged in. Then you got to system-pref-login window and you have to type your password agian, it stat true ? [03:36] when i installed it [03:36] jw [03:36] Gault: get the gparted lived cd [03:36] I want to go straight to grub (w/o booting into desktop), IIRC, there should be a way to do it with the livdCD, by pressing a key [03:36] does anyone know [03:36] Fryguy-- you know any tweaks to run cs:s better on a older machine? [03:37] here's an example of my du pain : http://pastie.org/225275 [03:37] and when to press it [03:37] Maciel, you must have set the default settings, so you have one big partition?... [03:37] ace_suares yes, but i can't get to the login window manager from system>administrator>login window [03:37] taes81: no, and this is the wrong channel for that anyway [03:37] yeah [03:37] sun01tech: in network manager, did you check what is in DNS ? [03:37] sorry [03:37] D3RGPS31: why not ? [03:37] although, there may be a problem considering the drive is only about 8GB in size... [03:37] Bodsda, linux works but windows still gets a disk error [03:37] Bodsda, i think i broke it [03:38] I'm having trouble w/ the nvidia drivers [03:38] ace_suares at first i was having an error that i can't repeat now, i'm having a new error telling me i'm not running GDM display manager [03:38] Maciel: It should be fine, but what did you have in mind, partitioning the drive even smaller, like 4GB for Windows or... ? [03:38] Whitey88, question for ##windows im afraid, unless anyone in here can shed some light [03:38] I can't get it to work w/ nvidia, only with nv. I've tried building them, using envy, nvidia-xconfig, they all break the display [03:38] that's about right [03:39] D3RGPS31: GDM is Gnome. It looks like you ar erunning gnome, but to be sure, got o system -> about gnome [03:39] du - b [03:39] Bodsda, thanks for ur help, will jump ship and try the other channel [03:39] although any kind of use on the drive would be good [03:39] ubuntu gurus!? how do i get compiz to act on window hints? [03:39] Whitey88, ok, sorry couldnt fix windows [03:39] * ace_suares needs to search for a missing harddisk. be back in some time. [03:39] googling is not working [03:39] why is disk usage not the same as bytes? [03:39] du - b = wc -c [03:39] ace_suares yes i am running gnome, with compiz removed and metacity as my manager [03:39] Maciel: Currently if you have Ubuntu installed on the drive you should be fine, you can use that. If you want to partition such a small drive it's a tight squeeze on the hdd... [03:39] hey guys -- i need to downgrade my kerenl, how would i go about this (no one !downgrade me, im well aware of the issues) [03:40] Bodsda, thats alright, i at least can still get at my files in the windows partitons [03:40] ace_suares: yes...the correct dns servers are in there... like i said it works when i change the static ip address, but when i reboot the same static ip address doesnt work so i change it again and it works fine... for instance i have 192.168.1.220 ok works then reboot doesnt work so i change it to 192.168.1.221 and it works same thing everytime i reboot [03:40] thorny_sun: first google hit says to use the fade plugin [03:40] Whitey88, ;~) [03:40] I mean, use it for space for Windows... long story [03:40] cya [03:40] Fryguy--: what did you google? [03:40] cya Whitey88 [03:40] compiz fusion window hint urgent [03:41] i did 'compiz "window hints"' :9 [03:41] thanks!! [03:41] the thing is, I'm using Ubuntu 5.06, so I don't have the GNOME partition programme that the later versions have and the help web pages recommend I use [03:41] Maciel, so, install it [03:41] Maciel: you can't install it? [03:41] gparted [03:42] i have a directory full of files with sequential but non-contiguous names, i want them contiguous. howdoidothat? [03:42] Maciel: Perhaps this will help: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning [03:42] hi all [03:42] Maciel: you can use parted from terminalm, but not on a mounted partition [03:42] What directories in $HOME should I remove to reset gnome to its default? [03:42] for example, 1.jpg 2.jpg 5.jpg -> 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg [03:42] Maciel: notice the tools available, you can get them from the Synaptic I'm sure. === Bodsda is now known as Bodsda|AFK [03:42] need someone to help me on some issue with OpenOffice [03:42] andcorps: #openoffice [03:43] ok [03:43] andcorps: whats up? [03:43] tq [03:43] I need a hand getting my wireless card to work [03:43] meh PM me if ya need some help :) [03:43] Fryguy--: you're referring to the share on windows being setup... right? I've setup the share with RW access for everyone... which should allow anonymous access... and I still get that message. [03:43] my Open Office kept crashing [03:43] ryanakca: .gnome, .gnome2, things in .config, there's probably a few others [03:43] ryanakca: .gnome* .gconf* but this will reset other apps as well [03:43] AndrewGearhart: and are you going to the share, or are you going to the root directory [03:43] is the share on vista [03:44] would resizing my swap partition harm ubuntu in any way? i figured out when i was on the LiveCD for OpenSUSE that i made it wayyyy to big. [03:44] is the firewall set up correctly [03:44] do you have samba installed [03:44] nice as far as i can say Amarok runs fine i have no sound lags in ubuntu hardy heron 32bit (because i've heard about PulseAudio problems) [03:44] linuxpwns: no [03:44] yes, the share is on vista ... and is named 'a' [03:44] how do search a series of subdirectories and move their contents to a new location? is it "find . -name * -exec _____________ ??? [03:44] linuxpwns: no [03:44] yoyoned: well, if its a gnome app, I don't really care :) [03:44] AndrewGearhart: vista security for shares requires a tweak to group policy, google for details [03:44] yoyoned, Fryguy--: thanks :D === kyle__ is now known as theRealBall [03:45] Is there a way to initiate upgrade from the command line? [03:45] kalpik: find . -type d -name * -exec mv {} blah \; [03:45] can anyone give me a hand with my wireless card. I can't seem to get the drivers installed [03:45] For instance, from G to H? [03:45] apt-get upgrade [03:45] ohzie: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:45] * Maciel is a little busy [03:45] Fryguy--: those options for fade are not available in hardy's compiz :( [03:45] Fryguy--: That'll upgrade me from gutsy to hardy? [03:45] how big is a swap partiton usually? [03:45] thorny_sun: install compiz-config-settings-manager [03:45] Fryguy will try [03:46] !upgrade | ohzie [03:46] ohzie: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:46] linuxpwns: should be about the size of the amount of ram you have, if you have a lot of ram it can be significantly less if you don't care about hibernating [03:46] ohzie: in /etc/apt/sources.list change all the gutsy to hardy then apt-get update:apt-get dist-upgrade [03:46] Hiya ya'll bunters. I've got an issue with my 8.04 that I just upgraded to from the beta. I changed the background to solid black, rather than the elephant skin one, and now I have little wave-lookin things all over my menubar at the bottom of the screen. Any ideas what that is and how to get rid of it ? [03:46] Fryguy, you just answered my question [03:46] why thank you. [03:46] i'm trying to install 8.0.4 server on a new Gigabyte MB with the AMD 780G chipset (SB700 southbridge). The system reboots as soon as it's done scanning the cdrom. I've tried disabling everything I can think of with no change. Any suggestions how to get past this or debug it further? [03:46] Brian: noacpi ? [03:46] hey is there as way run sudo without having to prompt for the password like 'sudo --password(PASSWORD)' so it would prompt for it all the time? [03:46] * m_newton is away: loligaging at the wee hours of nite; just to say hi to all and host my server. [03:47] Fryguy--: "couldn't find package compiz-config-settings-manager" [03:47] Fryguy; but thats the wrong name =P [03:47] name_name: you can edit sudoers to make you be able to sudo without providing a password, check out the manpage for details [03:47] Fryguy--, just add that to the end of the boot options? [03:47] compiz-settingsmanager [03:47] err [03:47] thorny_sun: search for it, it's probably some stupid name [03:47] compiz-settings-manager [03:47] thorny_sun: i don't run ubuntu so I don't have details like that [03:47] LGKeiz: ? [03:47] OK, firstly: I think I'm way over my head installing Linux in the firdst place *heh*, and second, there are ways to partition, I'm just not sure how (mostly using programmes I don't have) [03:47] trying to remember. [03:47] D3RGPS31: what you describe is quite strange. can you got to other stuff, like network manager ? [03:47] Fryguy--: I looked at man sudo it didn't help much [03:47] * Maciel apoligizes for being such a n00b [03:47] name_name: check out man sudoers [03:47] or just hit google for editing sudoers [03:48] Maciel: whats installed on ur hard drive now [03:48] i need a hand getting a Broadcom B43 wireless card working [03:48] yoyoned: Thank you so much. =) [03:48] just Ubuntu v5.06 with a 8MB-or-so partition [03:48] ohzie: np [03:49] Maciel: and u want to dual boot w/ xp? [03:49] ace_suares yes [03:49] no, 98 [03:49] yes, my compy's that old [03:49] Sorry, I went to try to fix it, did anything say anything to me? [03:49] with a default Ubuntu install the regular user just has to type in their password to execute any command on the system, from what I have just experienced. how is that secure? [03:49] Maciel: have you tried the gparted livecd [03:49] D3RGPS31: so the only thing you can't do is go to the Login Window manager ? [03:49] don't have any live CD apart from the Ubuntu Live one [03:49] aib: its secure from the outside [03:50] aib: it's not. ubuntu wasn't designed to be a hardened and secure OS, it was designed to be friendly to endusers [03:50] how do you resize frames in ion2? [03:50] mouseboyx: wrong channel [03:50] fair enough [03:50] D3RGPS31: try open a terminal and do a 'ls -la' [03:50] and ion is old, use a newer tiling window manager [03:50] Fryguy--: compizconfig-settings-manager-- and i already have it installed [03:50] thorny_sun: so then open it up and make the changes that you need [03:50] ace_suares you want me to past the output on pastebin? [03:50] Fryguy--: it's version .7.4 and it does not offer those specific options for the Fade plugin [03:50] D3RGPS31: no, just look who is the owner of the Xauth* files [03:51] not sure if my version is old or that web page is old, but it's not there [03:51] thorny_sun: out of luck then, go grab the source from compiz for the fade plugin and compile it yourself then === elisboa is now known as elisboa-off [03:51] Fryguy--: would sudo -v do it? [03:51] have other distributions adopted this practice? [03:51] aib, also it is to the first user of the system, others that you may add to the system will not be able to sudo unless you set them up [03:51] name_name: no idea, i don't use sudo [03:51] what do you use? [03:51] Fryguy--: that sounds a little scary-- i don't need to make this ubuntu an more unstable than it already is-- i guess i'll just deal [03:51] What is a new tiling window manager? [03:51] ace_suares i only have -rw----- on .Xauthority [03:51] thanks for the help! [03:51] name_name: not ubuntu [03:51] aib, most, if not all linux systems can sudo [03:51] -__- [03:52] D3RGPS31: yeah who is the owner [03:52] name_name: what are you trying to do? [03:52] mouseboyx: xmonad, awesomewm, wmii, dwm, to name a few [03:52] thanks [03:52] Seven_Six_Two, thats not what i'm asking though - of course you can set up a sudoers file on all of them [03:52] in gparted i do not see an option to resize my swap partition [03:52] I want to have my python code run stuff root [03:52] Fryguy--, noacpi has no effect === theunixgeek_ is now known as theunixgeek [03:52] but it stopped at the sudo cmd each time [03:52] ace_suares me [03:52] Brian: try upgrading bios or removing unnecessary hardware [03:52] linuxpwns: do you see the swap [03:52] D3RGPS31: so that is not the problem. I have no more clues... I am sorry ! [03:52] I wish I could do something like sudo -password=PASSWORD, savvy? [03:52] thorny_sun: openSUSE's stabler imo but Ubuntu's still more noobie friendly [03:53] name_name: like i said before, just edit sudoers file [03:53] ace_suares thanks for trying =D [03:53] aib, oh I see. I don't know of any others, but ubuntu assumes that the user that installs it will be the maintainer [03:53] OK, here's a simpler question: where can I get GNOME Partition programme and how do I install it? [03:53] name_name: type sudo command and it'll ask you for your password [03:53] linuxpwns: select it then resive [03:53] Maciel: gparted [03:53] ? [03:53] Maciel: gparted, you can download it from first google result for it, comes on a livecd that you just boot from and do what you need [03:53] Fryguy--: where's that file? [03:53] D3RGPS31: you could always go to a terminal with Alt-ctrl-f1 and remove ubuntu-desktop and reinstall it :) [03:53] name_name: /etc [03:53] thanks [03:53] ace_suares i'll do that =D [03:53] Best virus scanner for ubuntu? [03:54] eugene_: none, it's not necessary to run one [03:54] if you insist on using one for whatever reason, try like clamAV i guess [03:54] Maciel: Synaptic Manager also has some partion managers. A lot smaller the 600MB if you have DSL... [03:54] eugene_: I agree with Fryguy-- but I would answer: clamav. [03:54] aib, and it's more secure because you shouldn't use root unless you absolutely have to, which is what forcing sudo does, to a certain extent [03:54] eugene_: why even run one [03:54] ahh Just installed it... [03:54] Fryguy--: ( I run that to clean incoming email for my domain) [03:55] eugene_: it's not necessary unless you're running Windows [03:55] hold up, I'm getting gparted... [03:55] eugene_, clamav. and lots of linux systems use it. just because there are very few linux viruses doesn't mean that windows users don't access linux services. [03:55] is a firewall necessary [03:55] u guys say owner alot, btw [03:55] stillwell: necessary? no [03:55] thank you [03:55] i'm fine with it as long as everyone admits its a convenience. i can't come up with a situation where its more secure, but it seems to be a convenient thing to do. [03:56] Owner: "a lot" :P [03:56] Owner: hehe maybe you should change owner :-) [03:56] :O [03:56] I wonder... [03:56] yoyoned: i right-clicked it but i still do not see the resize option, or in the toolbar either [03:56] I will consider. [03:56] stillwell, but having a firewall is a good idea. necessary if you don't have a hardware firewall and run public services [03:56] * ace_suares leaves da house... [03:56] if you COULD hack linux [03:57] Commie_Cary: you can.. [03:57] Seven_Six_Two: i don;t understand how running public services necessitates a firewall [03:57] oh...ok [03:57] thnks [03:57] Fryguy--: how would you try it, icant think of a sercity hole\ [03:57] Fryguy--, tried that too, there's nothing in the system besides the mb etc. I tried noapic noacpi too [03:57] mneptok, it's a good security practise. [03:57] * IndyGunFreak always always always runs a hardware firewall w/ SPI.. i hate software firewalls [03:57] linuxpwns: turn of the swap in terminal type sudo swapoff -a, then reload gparted. [03:57] Commie_Cary: bring a linux machine to shmoocon or defcon and say you have an unhackable linux machine [03:57] ufw? [03:57] and watch what happens [03:58] i installed ubuntu via wubi but after sometime when i am opening a webpage in firefox , the music player begins to scratch why? [03:58] can anyone help me with a Broadcom wireless card issue? [03:58] Fryguy--: lol :P [03:58] Are most people here full time linux users? [03:58] yep [03:58] eugene_: i don't use linux at all pretty much [03:58] nothing is unhackable. unless it's totally broken [03:58] Seven_Six_Two: i don't see how running public services changes anything, though [03:58] eugene_: a lot of us are.. [03:58] eugene_: im not [03:58] I feel like i don't belong - crying === jisatsu is now known as jisatsu`zzz [03:59] i'm trying to install geforce 8800GT drivers to my hardy, but nothing that i'm doing is working. I tried envy... it says it worked by when i restart, nothing has changed. I try the manual install from the software from nvidia's site, but i can't execute the sh command... :/ [03:59] mneptok, there's more risk when you run a webserver, ftp server etc. [03:59] OK: I have absolutely no idea how to install this thing [03:59] fryguy: it says "sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440" [03:59] eugene_: i remote connect to a linux server at work to do my job (software engineer, vim in terminal), but that's the only linux machine I though, everything else is osx/windows/bsd [03:59] what is the function of microcode.ctl ? [03:59] anyone have a favorite compressed filesystem? [03:59] eugene_: some of us have to work in both world of Linux and Windows [03:59] Seven_Six_Two: how does a firewall help that, though? [03:59] name_name: so chmod it [03:59] could anyone help me out with this installation of the geforce 8800GT? thanks. [03:59] Maciel: which one? [03:59] whats the command in terminal to show lists of processes running, without system monitor [03:59] it that b/c I marked it as writable? [03:59] hello everyone [03:59] gparted [03:59] LGKeiz: ps aux [03:59] top [03:59] Fryguy--, is there some option to skip the graphical installer so i could see what it's doing when it reboots? [03:59] name_name: probably [03:59] is there a way to resuce-repair on a wireless [03:59] mneptok, because a firewall will block traffic that is unwanted. [03:59] I have never installed anything GNU in my life, so the language the install file uses is like greek to me... [03:59] Brian: you can download the alternative install cd [04:00] problem with my real console, i cant see it. Just a black screen and a blinking cursor [04:00] Brian: or the server install cd (which is the same ubuntu, just a different default package set, trivial to switch over to a "real" ubuntu install afterwards [04:00] yup, no it's complaining about sytanx [04:00] Seven_Six_Two: a firewall restricts access to ports. running a public service by definition means you want ports open. so a firewall is useful to a public facing server only for the ports it closes. [04:00] GNU was never finnished :( [04:00] which is to be expected [04:00] Maciel: did u download using apt or is it a gparted livecd? [04:00] Maciel: gparted livecd? [04:00] i'm going to major in CIS, so it seems like im going to have to learn php/apache and a different os [04:00] name_name: use visudo to edit it, and read the manpage [04:00] Fryguy--, i'm using the server cd...i thought i grabbed the alternate but it appears the same. better double check that [04:00] Brian: remove quiet splash from /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:00] Seven_Six_Two: unless you get into IP or netblock restrictions, which has to be automated to scale well [04:00] mneptok, yes. exactly. would you recommend running a webserver without a firewall? [04:00] eugene_, that is my major as well [04:01] eugene_: probably [04:01] Seven_Six_Two: i do. [04:01] Brian: alternate and server are the same installation method, different packages are on the CD, and they have slightly different install options, but the installer is the same [04:01] eugene_: what FL [04:01] Seven_Six_Two: what would a firewall give me? the abilit to ... block access to a server i set up so people can access it [04:01] what is the function of microcode.ctl ? [04:01] i grabbed the regular cd again... doht. getting the alternate... [04:01] friends list [04:01] no, i got it from the web just now, it's just that I'm not sure what "cd to the directory and type "./configure"" means [04:01] eugene_: there is no friends list on irc, so what are you talking about [04:01] mneptok, block access to ports that you don't want people trying to exploit [04:02] * Maciel apoligizes for being such a n00b [04:02] n/m [04:02] Maciel: have you tried installing it using apt or synaptic [04:02] Seven_Six_Two: if there is nothing listening at a port, it's not going to do much [04:02] erm... no...? === Mr is now known as Guest71800 [04:02] Maciel, what is it you are trying to install? [04:02] Seven_Six_Two: if there are no services answering on those ports, a firewall is pointless. [04:02] Maciel: ubuntu livecd has gparted [04:02] IM back... :) [04:02] Maciel: sudo apt-get install gparted [04:02] numerous error messages while trying to install a .deb package: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24128/ [04:02] Maciel: run that command in terminal [04:03] mneptok, then why do they exist? [04:03] jkhiu [04:03] linuxpwns: any reason why you don't just use aim [04:03] Maciel, no need to compile Gparted. start up Synaptic package manager or use sudo apt-get install gparted from a terminal [04:03] ok... [04:03] linuxpwns: and besides that just listen to the messages it gave you and download the file correctly and try again [04:03] Seven_Six_Two: there are god reasons to run a firewall. but simply having a public facing server doesn't translate into a need for a firewall. [04:04] * Gaming4J1 yawn... [04:04] sorry, I'm jsut not familiar enough with Linux to know all this stuff yet... [04:04] mneptok, ok. I'm listening. [04:04] Maciel, good rule to follow is check Synaptic before downloading and compiling [04:04] !aptitude | Maciel [04:04] Maciel: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [04:04] linuxpwns: use pidgen [04:04] Seven_Six_Two: for instance, to specifically redirect traffic across ports. [04:04] Seven_Six_Two: or allow access only from certain IPs or netblocks [04:04] Maciel: Applications>>Accessories>>Terminal [04:04] ver [04:04] or spi [04:05] SV [04:05] OK, I installed it thru SUDO, where did it actually install itself...!? [04:05] hey guys. I remember a laptop battery program that didn't just change system settings to use less battery power, but diagnosed and somewhat reworked the battery into better condition. I can't remember the name, but does anyone know of a program like this? [04:05] What Linux app will open/recognize *.daa type files? [04:05] Hi, I tried to fix my sound problem, and then my gooey went bye bye. So I did serverx into my command prompt, and it seemed to bring it back, but if I reboot, it goes away again. [04:05] Maciel, don't be sorry. we all started somewhere [04:05] does anyone know how to fix this? [04:05] Maciel, all installed programs place themselves int he Ubuntu menu [04:05] fryguy: i just used the download links on the site (HTTP) what could have been wrong? [04:05] linuxpwns: plenty of things [04:05] download it again [04:05] Maciel: look in the menu or type sudo gparted [04:05] fryguy: I got it working [04:05] Maciel: the first step on the path to true wisdom is to admit you know nothing. :) [04:05] or just use pidgin [04:06] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Access_Archive [04:06] fryguy: thanks a ton [04:06] ls [04:06] Maciel, it should be in Applications> Accessories [04:06] * Fryguy-- knows nothing [04:06] how can i turn off my wlan0 ?!? [04:06] whats up [04:06] please, how do I stop firefox from freezing constantly anytime a flash embedded web page is loaded? the error is segmentation fault and causes firefox to close immediately. it is terribly aggrivating... how do i fix this??? [04:06] scribawf, PowerISO. check my link [04:06] SrgSantos54: iwconfig [04:06] ber1, disable flash [04:06] it ain't at Applications>>Accessories... [04:06] now python can run stuff as root [04:06] ber1: uninstall flash, or make sure it's installed correctly [04:06] sw33t [04:07] fryguy what do i do next [04:07] ber1, and stop watching porn web site... :) [04:07] SrgSantos54: that's it, read the manpage on how to use it and you are good to go [04:07] ber1, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 <-- use this on that page [04:07] walloO, fryguy, but then i don't have flash. i need flash.. [04:07] berl, what verison of Firefox do you have? [04:07] ber1: so install it corrctly [04:07] fryguy thanks [04:07] fryguy- how does one accomplish that? [04:07] Cosmo-san; Thank You [04:07] sudo gparted did nothing... [04:08] ber1: following any one of the hundreds of howtos on google for 'ubuntu flash' [04:08] fryguy: i'll try that. [04:08] rico: version 3 [04:08] scribawf, it is proprietary, as far as I know. so good luck [04:08] Maciel: did you install gparted? [04:08] fryguy how do i check the man pages [04:08] ok to everyone who told me i needed to use a cdr and not a dvdr for the cdiso of ubuntu; you were right; i was completely wrong; i have no idea why you cant burn a cd iso to a dvdr..... but apparently you cant [04:08] Maciel: sudo apt-get install gparted [04:08] Maciel, you are certain it installed [04:08] SrgSantos54: use the man command [04:08] berl, what verison of Ubuntu? [04:08] although I just installed it also and cant find it either [04:08] fryguy sorry new to linux [04:08] arooni-mobile: you can [04:08] Maciel: look in menu onder system>>administration [04:08] yeah, I did that, it asked for my password, and then Terminal ran and closed [04:09] i've used many linux instant messengers, but the ones i've used all seem to not login right [04:09] it aint in system>>administration either [04:09] linuxpwns: pidgin is cross platform industry standard messenger, and has been for some time [04:09] huy [04:09] * Gaming4J1 yawn... it's late here all I'm out... [04:09] byes... [04:09] linuxpwns: which messengers have you used?.... [04:09] Fryguy--, not what others said ;p === DeadKennedy2881 is now known as DeadKennedy2880 [04:09] barbara type sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop into terminal. [04:09] Maciel, System > Admin > Partition editor [04:09] What's a console text editor that isn't vim? :[ [04:09] nope [04:09] hi [04:09] arooni-mobile: i personally have an ubuntu iso burned to dvdr right here because I was short cdrs at the time I burned it, and it works fine [04:09] fryguy- i've installed flash the way the websites dictate. flash works, but sometimes (seemingly randomly) some flash-embedded sites will freeze firefox. its installed correctly as it works most of the time.. just not all the time [04:09] ohzie: nano [04:10] ohzie: just learn vim [04:10] ohzie, pico is a good one [04:10] webcamwonder: Thank you so much. [04:10] Maciel, would make more sense for them to have it appear in the menu as Gparted [04:10] friends,,im new in linux,,can yours help me [04:10] ber1: are you using 64-bit ubuntu? [04:10] pidgin, total communicator (in Wine), ayttm, .... [04:10] Hi, I tried to fix my sound problem, and then my gooey went bye bye. So I did serverx into my command prompt, and it seemed to bring it back, but if I reboot, it goes away again. [04:10] should it matter that I'm only using Ubuntu 5.04 [04:10] barbara type sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop into terminal. [04:10] hi i just tried to install americas army 250 and something went wrong at the end, i have the files in my usr/share/bin but i cant play the game, how do i uninstall all of these? [04:10] tt, what is your issue? [04:10] Maciel, well that might make a difference. I dont remember that far back [04:11] fryguy- 32 [04:11] barbara_: need more details (and proper english) [04:11] i come indonesia [04:11] Maciel, why not upgrade? [04:11] it was three years ago...!? [04:11] i make ubuntu [04:11] Hi im looking for a internet browser that works from terminal.. any suggest? [04:11] Fryguy--: I was trying to learn vim, until I read in the documentation that the one feature I wanted was not avialable in the console version. I hope I read it wrong. Regardless, it took me just that long to figure out how to do it in nano. [04:11] ber1, just install flashblock on that link I gave and only let good sites in. [04:11] Maciel, and 4 releases ago [04:11] i have two hard drives: harddrive a is old & dying; so i copied the partitoins (sda1 as /root/ and sda2 as /home) via dd to a new hard drive (hard drive b). now i physically removed hard drive a, and moved hard drive b to the exact ide channel (primary / slave) where the last one was & set the jumpers right. when i booted up i saw "GRUB".... so folks suggested that i boot from live cd and reinstall grub to the MBR. does [04:11] this sound like the right appraoch? now that i'm in the live CD: what do i need to do ? [04:11] ber1: best bet is to reread some tutorials and make sure you did it right, and otherwise install flashblock to block offending flash objects [04:11] I just wanted to replace every instance of the word gutsy with the word hardy. =P [04:11] my CD burner software doesn't really like buring the CD... [04:11] juan, are you meaning a text-only browser? [04:11] yeap [04:12] ohzie: what are you trying to do? i've been using vim for nearly 10 years and am pretty proficient with it [04:12] I want to use it on terminal [04:12] Maciel, when you typed sudo apt-get install gparted what did you get? [04:12] just text, not graphic [04:12] Fryguy--: Just replace every instance of the word gutsy with hardy in a text file. :P [04:12] comsmo-san - the site doesn't matter. 4 out of 5 times regular sites like ubuntu work perfectly... and then they don't :( [04:12] ohzie: :%s/gutsy/hard/g [04:12] err [04:12] ohzie: :%s/gutsy/hardy/g [04:12] the terminal, which asked for my password, and closed almost immediately [04:12] what is the chat room for people using Ubuntu 8.10? [04:12] juan, you might want to try lynx [04:12] can't tell whether it installed or not [04:13] Fryguy--: See that looks pretty simple, other than what's the g for? [04:13] lynx? [04:13] it is on the repos? [04:13] Maciel: 'dpkg -s gparted' to check [04:13] Fryguy--: okay... I've done the changes with respect to the group policy editor... on the vista box... (despite the fact that most of the documentation that I found seemed to pertain to vista being able to connect to a samba share and not vice versa) ... and still the same message is received when I do sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.100/a /mnt -o rw [04:13] Fryguy Her GUI isn't loading on the boot. She logs into her account via the command prompt and reconfigs xserver and then launches xserver. [04:13] fryguy- the flash install tuts say "go to a website that requires flash. click "install flash-nonfree"." i can't really screw that up.. [04:13] ohzie: "global" as in "do more than once" [04:13] i will try to install it [04:13] Fryguy--: Also the documentation kept telling me to try this long string [04:13] Maciel: to see if it's installed type which gparted in terminal [04:13] searchtf or something [04:13] I don't even remember [04:13] juan, i think it comes on default but I will check [04:13] Maciel, I am going to prv msg you ok? [04:13] It was horrible. [04:13] identify 22054004973328 [04:13] ok [04:13] sure sure...! [04:13] ill try [04:13] heres a n00b question - should I (or anyone here running ubuntu) bother to install a virus scanner? even when emulation is involved? [04:13] Fryguy--: I will try to remember that line for next time. Thank you so much. <3 :) [04:13] ber1: dunno what to tell you, my flash works fine, everybody elses flash works fine, so you did something wrong [04:14] how can i make a Makefile open 2 applications in 2 different terminals? [04:14] AndrewGearhart: don't know what to tell you [04:14] not, it is not by default [04:14] DeadKennedy2880: No, What do you mean by Emulation? Virtualbox? [04:14] Im downloading it with APT [04:14] ohzie: http://www.rayninfo.co.uk/vimtips.html [04:14] webcamwonder - like cedega, wine, crossover [04:14] ah, didn't know that juan [04:14] Fryguy--: *sob* [04:14] nickolaus: and she did something to crash the gui. What she did is probably pretty important === maximus is now known as Guest42693 [04:14] My system keeps trying to boot into Mythtv, but Mythtv is setup wrong and it keeps restarting. How do I get the login menu to come up? [04:14] DeadKennedy2880, wine = "Wine Is Not an Emulator" so it'S not an emulator. [04:15] DeadKennedy2880: As long as you don't run a software that tries to delete all files, you should be good [04:15] Fryguy--: Is there any way to make the dist-upgrade command do everything without me sitting here saying yes? [04:15] well now ill try it.. apt just end [04:15] everyone else's flash does not work fine. "segmentation fault flash" provides innumerable results in google, but its all "help, i have this problem" and lacks a solution. hence, i am in this channel, where i appear to still be at a loss. oh well, thank you for trying. [04:15] ohzie: no idea. I don't run ubuntu so i can't comment on upgrade details [04:15] I started grub and is in the grub prompt but there is no "grub" directory "boot". Does anyone know why? [04:15] webcamwonder - i figure the most a virus could screw up is my crossover bottle [04:15] Fryguy--: Oh, what do you run? :P [04:15] ohzie: um. depends where i am [04:15] Lynx works pretty well.. just what i was looking for :D . thnx [04:16] DeadKennedy2880: You won't be doing anything to download/browse from WINE, it is useless [04:16] Fryguy--: Personal preference. [04:16] I started grub and is in the grub prompt but there is no "grub" directory under directory "boot". Does anyone know why? [04:16] ohzie: freebsd server in the closet, vista x64 desktop, xp laptop, osx work machine, centos 5.1 development server [04:16] so is that a unified NO" on the virus scanner? [04:16] not a problem, juan [04:16] DeadKennedy2880: Yes [04:16] DeadKennedy2880, yes, regarding wine, maybe most of the virus will not work properly, since wine developper do not work on virus support... :) [04:16] Fryguy--: Do you find Vista to be comfortable? :( [04:16] rock on, loving ubuntu just a little more [04:16] ohzie: vista is fine. I have no issues with it [04:16] WalloO: I am sure some of those would work after making so many programs comptabile :P [04:16] Fryguy--: Woooo [04:17] ohzie: right now i'm on vista, looking at freebsd screen session, running irssi [04:17] Fryguy-- - dont you find it bloated and over needy? [04:17] hello to all. can anyone help me with this ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/24129/ .its not so important because it will be a test server in my notebook but it will be good to resolve it. thank you. [04:17] DeadKennedy2880: not at all [04:17] webcamwonder, yes, some work, but the last time I saw a report on someone trying a virus with wine, the result was not so good. Virus uses non standard system to hide themself. [04:17] Fryguy she reconfiged her audio settings. Not sure what that had to do with xserver. Just wondering if it's a common error. The error on the boot is kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot... [04:17] Fryguy-- i had to pet mine and water it everyday [04:18] but i hadent the new service pack [04:18] albuntu: it's a harmless error for the most part, just make sure you set ServerName correctly in your apacheconf [04:18] fongkwan-> there is none if you did not install grub directory [04:18] how can i see all the message that display upon startup?: [04:18] nickolaus: that's not an error [04:18] WalloO, I wonder if they allow AppDB to host virus ratings :) [04:18] arooni-mobile: dmesg [04:18] albuntu: make sure you hostname is is /etc/hosts [04:19] Fryguy-- i thought so. thank you [04:19] webcamwonder, you can take a look. But wine is in no way a target for virus, so you are quite safe... :) [04:19] ohzie: I get most of the benefits of *nix by just running xming on a windows machine and doing X11 forwarding over ssh with an authentication agent [04:19] is ctrl+alt+backspace enough to reload xorg.conf or do I need to restart? [04:19] Fryguy what do we need to do to make it load like it did before? [04:19] DeadKennedy2880: c-a-b is enough [04:19] yoyoned you mean the hostname in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ? [04:19] Fryguy--: Niceness. =) [04:19] nickolaus: undo whatever random thing you did [04:19] fongkwan: have you installed linux on this machine before, the grub you see when you boot could be old [04:20] deeceefar2: ctrl-alt-F1, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:20] thnx [04:20] nickolaus: need details to help you [04:20] Fryguy the programs were already installed. [04:20] nickolaus: so then that's not what you did to crash it, you did something else [04:20] really there should be a easyer way to share a folder on a network other then all the terminal typing [04:21] until we know what you did, or you give us a meaningful error, we can't help you [04:21] amendo: hi. I'm trying to install grub via LiveCD. I'm now following the recover grub after windows install howto.

Use ultimate boot cd to do that [04:25] arooni-mobile__: shred is designed just for that purpose, and is builtin [04:25] ... aaaaaaaaaaaand my solution is the best [04:25] tech0007, format is not good, since you can easily recover data [04:25] Flannel that was absolutely helpful and perfect :) thank you very much [04:26] arooni-mobile__ - i always wanted to wrpa a harddrive tightly with heavy guage wire and connecct the ends to a car battery to magnatize the drive, should kill everything on it [04:26] i dont have to boot from that disk though.... i can boot from an alternate.... id prefer to do that as opposed to boot to live dcd? [04:26] * ball votes for /dev/zero followed by /dev/random [04:26] DeadKennedy2880: lol [04:26] arooni-mobile__: just download darik's boot and nuke and use that [04:26] arooni-mobile__ - ive hammers work well [04:26] arooni-mobile__: Boot from your other disk, and use shred on the disk you want to erase. No external media required [04:26] Flannel, awesome; [04:27] arooni-mobile__: You'll probably want to give it a different default number of writes though.

I tried dpkg --configure -a [04:47] This is weird, I can connect to my ssh server (it's running Hardy) while I'm running hardy with no problems, in Intrepid, I've copied over ~/.ssh/identity from the Hardy install as well as made sure the config files (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) are the same in Hardy and Intrepid, but I'm able to connect in Hardy, and not in Intrepid. if I try ssh 192.168.0.102 in Intrepid it just hangs and I never get a $USER@host:-$ prompt, but checking /v [04:47] my goal is to update to gutsy [04:47] anyone know use command ¨at¨ ? [04:47] and then to hardy [04:48] jZed: Don't. Upgrade straight from dapper to hardy. [04:48] how? [04:48] What do I need to do to get wpa to request a dhcp address? I am using kubuntu 8.04 kde4 packages with wpa_supplicant and knetworkmanager. Don't know if running both causes a problem. [04:48] jZed: or just install hardy straight [04:48] jZed: Are you up to date with dapper? [04:48] tried with aptitude, it wouldn't, tried manually [04:48] tech0007, i get a very long page of data [04:48] i got up to date with dapper, then ran the apt-get dist-upgrade [04:48] jZed: So, you're still with dapper, right? [04:48] but it stuck in the middle and now I lost parts of dapper [04:48] lorenzo: see any segfaults in the last few lines? [04:49] tech0007, nope [04:49] I have dapper CLI but no xorg [04:49] oh yeah ... a channel that actually is alive ! [04:49] and other stuff is missing [04:49] jZed: What wereyou upgrading to and from? [04:49] jZed: since dist-upgrade on its own won't change your version. You need to give us more information. [04:49] lorenzo: 'ps aux | grep soffice' to see if a process is running [04:49] tech0007, am i just supposed to look for the word segfault?

We can of course try and salvage it [04:50] so I went to apt-get [04:51] phasegen, try running it with kdesu then changing your password ;) [04:51] lorenzo: better reinstall openoffice using synaptic [04:51] can I keep my current files if I reinstall? I'd just do it on a clean partition if I had room [04:51] poseidon: in gnome? [04:51] jZed: yes,its advisable to keep a separate /home partition [04:51] jZed: If you have a separate home partition, yeah. You can upgrade around it. If you don't have a separate home partition yet, you can easily make it that way [04:52] ls [04:52] jZed: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [04:52] sorry, gdesu or whatever it is for gnome [04:52] phasegen, ^^ [04:52] gparted won't let me resize anything and /home is on boot (I didn't set it up) [04:53] jZed: you need to do it from a liveCD. You can't change mounted partitions [04:53] tech0007, so i tick just the OO suite? [04:53] is there a package for realvnc [04:53] yep, tried from the live CD [04:53] lorenzo: completely remove it first, then install it [04:53] ok [04:54] Anyone familiar with virtual hosting and how to configure it in apache2.conf? [04:54] what is a good program sililar to celestia? [04:54] tech0007, do i need to check just that one box? openoffice suite? [04:55] lorenzo: yes [04:55] tech0007 [04:55] guess I'll backup /home, wipe the partition, install new hardy, replace the backup [04:55] tech0007, ok thanks [04:56] this time with separate /home partition === kat is now known as Guest75148 [04:56] lorenzo: before u run openoffice, 'mv ~/.opeoffice.org2 ~/.openoffice.org2.bak' to create a new profile [04:57] unless anyone can suggest an easier way? [04:57] in the shell, ^U kills everything backwards, ^K everything onwards, ^w word backwards - how do I kill words onwards? [04:58] does anyone know how to use celestia? [04:59] how can I disable the alt-right click menu that pops up? I'd like alt+right click to resize windows [04:59] how do i mount all partitions (assuming they're mountable)? [04:59] tech0007, now it opens certain .doc and odt files but not all of them. [04:59] ouch! my /etc/apache/httpd.conf is empty! [05:00] lorenzo: where are those files saved? [05:01] tech0007, all of them are saved on my desktop [05:01] Ubuntu keeps defaulting to Mythtv user, how can I stop this and enter as one of my other logins? === Mr is now known as Cwe [05:02] lorenzo: did u download extensions you had before? any error messages? [05:02] Can anyone help me get a backup list of my packages? and my gpg keys? I think my system is a bit thrashed, and I'm going to have to reinstall... [05:03] tech0007, no errror msgs. no, i havent redownloaded extensions i had, but some of them are just doc files that were sentto me, i did not create them [05:04] hari_: do you routinely back up your home directory? [05:04] anyone still use php4 ? [05:04] Halp!!! When I run the Add/Remove App it resolves into this message "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report." What does it mean? How can I fix it? And who should I report it to?! [05:04] lorenzo: they might be from M$ office's incompatibility, can u ask #openoffice.org, maybe they have more ideas [05:04] ball, I can get the home directory no problem... I can get to it through windows... I just need to get a list of my installed packages... And my GPG keys if they aren't in the home dir... [05:05] brb === emo is now known as Guest39485 [05:05] ari : sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:05] If I boot into the LiveCD Desktop, should/will I find the grub directory under /boot? [05:05] tech0007, thank you [05:05] that's all i want to know [05:05] tech0007, thanks for your help, you have been very kind [05:05] bye bye [05:06] * m_newton is back (gone 01:19:11) === Guest39485 is now known as citra_punk [05:06] ubuntu is pretty sweet [05:06] i'm booted from the ubuntu live cd; i can see in gparted that it finds all my partitions; but when i go to /media/ (as I need to copy some files from one partition to another).... theres nothing mounted; sudo mount -a ... does not solve this. what to do now? [05:06] I just want to fix my mysterious permissions changing on my dvd-ram drive. [05:06] makes learning linux easier that's for sure [05:06] hari_: Ah, I don't use Windows. [05:07] (on my own computers, though sometimes I have to at work.) [05:07] i've been using windows for 5+ years nonstop having no life [05:07] i'm tired of that os [05:07] Got a really interesting ssh question. There's lots of stuff in this pastebin explaining what's going on http://paste.ubuntu.com/24138/ but basically I'm able to connect to my ssh server (which is running hardy) while I'm running hardy, but if I use Intrepid it breaks. I've tried asking in #ubuntu+1, but no one there can figure it out either. I'm so completely confused. [05:08] Thank you! jZed [05:08] ball for some reason, my libraries got trashed, and I need to reinstall ubuntu. Can anyone tell me how to get my list of installed packages, like you would through synaptic, but through the command line? [05:08] If I boot into the LiveCD Desktop, should/will I find the grub directory under /boot? [05:09] that's all i want to know [05:09] Apache seems to be broken and I can't get it to remove itself [05:09] * m_newton is away: loligaging at the wee hours of nite; just to say hi to all and host my server. [05:09] I tried apt-get and dpkg and /etc/apache still sticks aroudn [05:09] does anyone know any good perl plugin for gvim? [05:09] prose try sudo aptitude remove apache [05:09] this is a retarded question, but can you do iis on nix [05:10] Blaqlight: trying in progress... [05:10] ? [05:11] Blaqlight: awesome, I think it worked! not to reinstall the thing! I didn't know there was a difference between apt-get and aptitude [05:11] is there a way to see if port 27270 is being used by a program i have running in the background? [05:11] *now to reinstall is what I meant [05:11] aptitude seems to remove more of the stuff thats installed than apt-get [05:11] Is that a command similar to ipconfig on Ubuntu? [05:11] there* [05:12] bastid_raZor, netstat --inet [05:12] ty [05:12] eugene_; ifconfig [05:12] Blaqlight: you aren't, by any chance, on friendly terms with "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [05:12] Sylphid|mobile; nice, thanks [05:13] Prose, nope never seen that before. probably a good thing no doubt. [05:13] Blaqlight: excellent news for you :) === kat is now known as Guest3706 [05:14] ball I think I have it... [05:14] Thank you! [05:14] My system keeps trying to auto start Mythtv using the mythtv user, how can I stop it so I can login as another user? [05:14] Prose, is that what you got when you ran the above command? [05:14] Blaqlight: no no, that's waht I got when I tried to reinstall it [05:14] Blaqlight: the command you told me to use to remove it worked great :) [05:15] Prose, if you want to reinstall apache use sudo aptitude install apache [05:15] in the shell, ^U kills everything backwards, ^K everything onwards, ^w word backwards - how do I kill words onwards? [05:15] Blaqlight: thats exactly what I used :( but the magic didnt work twice [05:16] * CBrayton knows only that (s)he knows nothing [05:16] ok then first try sudo apt-get update [05:16] then sudo aptitude install apache [05:16] hello, i just downloaded php / mysql/ apache2 and now my localhost says "it works" but I don't know where any of the files are kept. [05:17] obf213: /var/www/ [05:17] Blaqlight: I'm curious, why aptitude install and not apt-get install? [05:17] Flannel, thanks [05:17] !hard drive [05:17] Factoid hard drive not found [05:17] Blaqlight: is that to update repositories ? [05:17] Blaqlight, neptunepink, its apache2, apache won't work. [05:17] aptitude just seems to work better for applications with alot of dependencies, it also seems to clean up after removing them better. [05:17] Prose: No, thats apt-get update [05:18] Flannel, indeed, sorry [05:18] Flannel: goodness gracious me, I had no idea. :P [05:19] hoe do i get restricted drives for nv 8600 [05:19] Flannel, so I have to sudo those files... [05:19] hmm, well aptitude install apache2 results in the same error === Shadow_X is now known as Shadow_X|bed [05:20] Prose, that command works for me, no idea whats with the error [05:21] restricted drivers ? [05:21] Blaqlight: hmm, seems to be a very general error for all debian -based things ..... well thanks anyways for the first command :) [05:21] hi [05:21] Prose, sure np [05:24] hi lugs I've got a problems with my phone ,the flash memory , when I try to extract or umount this, my phone keep stoped, becouse linux dont shutdown the energy to device, I try with rmmod uhci_hcd after modprobe , but it's not the best way to do it... [05:24] hi all, how to enable compiz? I cannot enable it (http://paste.ubuntu.com/24139/) [05:24] Hey, is this a good place to ask a question about compiling java scripts in the terminal? [05:24] Brian88: why on earth would you run compiz as root? [05:25] crdlb: if I run it without sudo, the result will be same [05:25] Brian88: indeed, and you should join #compiz-fusion for help with that, but you should never even consider running a window manager with sudo [05:26] I want to boot to CLI, what do i need to modify on the GRUB config file? [05:26] it's a terrible habit [05:26] pussy [05:26] need help, i couldnt show my workgroup on my network, how does it happen?

[05:28] Outlook is the only one I know that doesn't work [05:29] homecable: see 'man ls' [05:29] I think, by accident, I downloaded the teenager version of Ubuntu 8.04 ... sometimes it will play my wmv videos in totem and mplayer, but sometimes it won't [05:29] yeap, but almost always there is a similar program that is native for linux [05:29] I don't have a clue why [05:29] Monobi: teenager version? [05:29] Anyone? [05:29] tech0007, it's a joke [05:29] juan, of course but if nothing else... [05:30] well.. as i told u ..

The directions on the site tell me to add deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main to my sources.list file but I'm on hardy, will that work? [05:56] Bodsda: thanks [05:57] Flannel thx! :) [05:57] mluser, pastebin the exact (all) output/error of sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:57] why release this with pulseaudio, a package that obviously is not ready for prime time... this is why adoption to linux is slow... because some jackoff decided to use this bleeding edge package [05:57] Ontolog, thats an edgy repo not hardy [05:57] thank you Bodsda and amenado [05:57] Bodsda: Sorry, not exactly sure what you mean by pastebin [05:57] Bodsda: Yes, I know.... I am asking you if it will work [05:57] HAIDEN, pulseaudio works, just ubuntu's configuration of it is crap [05:57] Flannel that worked great thank you :) [05:58] Ontolog, yes [05:58] HAIDEN-> you're welcome, am glad there was a quick fix [05:58] !paste | mluser [05:58] mluser, go to paste.ubuntu.com [05:58] Bodsda: thanks [05:58] Bodsda: will do [05:58] Bodsda, yeah. they should have released a fix to this by now. this is a huge problem for all upgrades [05:58] Ontolog, it should work [05:59] anyone know where i can check how well supported the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video card is in ubuntu? [05:59] HAIDEN, i just remove it, problem solved, its meant for audio mixing, but apps dont configure it so it doesnt work instead it only works for 1 app, alsa does a better job imho [06:00] i have a command set to run every 15 minutes in cron... how do i tell cron not to re-execute the command if the last one is still running? [06:00] CorbinFox, www.google.com [06:00] Bodsda, agreed. i just dont understand why they would allow this configuration to be mass distributed [06:00] Hi there, what is the best job in linux ? [06:00] Bodsda: ok, its at http://paste.ubuntu.com/24144/ [06:00] Inazad, linux engineer if you want to remain hands on [06:00] JakeConnor_, i suppose you could grep top to see if its running [06:01] CorbinFox: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=361237 [06:01] CorbinFox: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=361236 [06:01] Inazad, system admin for microsoft [06:01] why i lost virtual sessions on hardy [06:01] ?

[06:03] kahrytan, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall [06:04] Do people know how to google? im not being rude but half the questions asked in here are solved by googleing the exact question === gbs is now known as fserve[note] [06:04] Bodsda, no answer is there [06:04] Bodsda: Thats not what this channel is about. [06:04] Bodsda: had a couple upgrades, but same result on the flashplugin-nonfree, let me check my /etc/apt/sources.list to see if there are any old entries there.

[06:09] kahrytan: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [06:09] Bodsda: oh yeah.

It is obvious bug in ufw though [06:13] hi dudes [06:13] hi [06:13] i cant remove firefox! i have firefox 3 and not even "sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox" removes it! [06:13] where can i download a tux's screensaver?? [06:13] s3a: That's because the package is firefox-3.0 [06:14] element, try www.gnome-look.org [06:14] Flannel: o but it had removed something else. what was it? [06:14] Bodsda: thx i will check the site [06:14] s3a: firefox is a metapackage [06:14] anyone here know how to configure xmame? I got it to recognize my game controller but now the skyshark rom i used to play with the keyboard won't even load. I'm sure I didn't delete anything xmame-related since I last played that game. [06:14] Flannel: wats a metapackage? [06:14] alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory <-- how can i fix that? [06:14] element, gnome-look is great for arty stuff [06:15] s3a: Its a package that depends on other packages, but doesn't have any programs/data in it [06:16] Flannel: so did i remove something important? or is it something i would want removed anyway considering i want to completely remove firefox? [06:16] s3a: No, you didn't remove anything important. And actually, itd be something you'd wind up removing with firefox-3.0 anyway [06:17] Alright, I think im losing it. Anyone know how I can get my vpn users which get assigned 192.168.2.x ip addresses to see my servers in 192.168.1.x subnet? [06:17] Flannel: k, thx :) but y is firefox in the free software only option installation? [06:17] s3a: what? Its not [06:17] is there a Ubuntu variant that can fit in 256MB ? ... yeah, okay, I know I was dreaming :( [06:18] this is for a mini-ITX compact-flash machine [06:18] inflex-: 256 mb ram? xubuntu will [06:18] no... diskspace [06:18] * inflex- has FreeBSD on it atm [06:18] inflex-: oh damn, no. look at DSL or Puppy linux [06:18] inflex-: fluxbuntu? [06:18] tech0007: still too large [06:18] need to install vmware tools on my virtual ubuntu [06:18] mmm... I was wanting something Debian-derived namely for facilitating easy updates [06:19] inflex-: No. But there are a number of smaller ones. DeliLinux, DSL, even an older debian would work fine [06:19] i am messed up with the terminal commands can someone help me ? ( installing vmware tools on my virtual ubuntu ) on my xp host [06:19] Flannel: i installed ubuntu in free software only and firefox was in it === threethirty is now known as threethirty_away [06:20] s3a: right. Firefox is the default browser, but its not the only one. [06:20] inflex-: http://bengross.com/smallunix.html [06:20] thanks [06:21] inflex-: try grml. it's debian based and _packed_ with software if you're not addicted to X [06:21] Flannel: wat r u trying to say? bcuz for gobuntu 8.04 being replaced by the f6 boot option, they said epiphany would replace firefox [06:21] inflex-: though it does have some lightweight (as in dwm) X window managers [06:21] tomasko: no X required [06:21] it's purely being setup as a WWW / email server [06:21] s3a: That could be. I don't understand what you're asking. [06:21] grml all the way then. i used to like knoppix until i discovered grml. never regretted it [06:22] props to enouf in ##linux for that btw. got me on that when i asked a similar question a few years ago [06:22] I have a problem. The 7 and 9 keys on my numpad restarts my X session. === |roue| is now known as lymeca [06:22] Flannel: like, free software only means that by default there should be no proprietary apps and firefox has propriterary artwork therefore it should only be installed in the normal ubuntu (that was a big argument if thats wat u wanna call it bout gobuntu 7.10 not being free - because it had firefox) [06:22] tech0007, I tried rc.local [06:23] tomasko: thanks for that - getting GRML now ;) [06:23] s3a: And whats your question? [06:23] tech no enabled at boot [06:23] Oh man, grml looks great. thanks tomasko, and thanks for asking inflex- :) [06:23] Flannel: y is firefox in my installation? lol [06:23] :) [06:23] help! ubutnu hardy makes it so my sound card (intel 915 integrated) on my t61 works for a little whlie; then stops working :(... what can i do to fix? [06:23] How would i add the line "/etc/init.d/ufw start" to rc.local ? [06:24] Flannel: or is is from ubuntu 8.10 that firefox will be excluded? or am i doing sumtin wrong? or wat? [06:24] s3a: I have no idea. You'll have to ask the gobuntu people. I believe its not until Intrepid. [06:24] * inflex- fires up a vmware session to test GRML in :) [06:24] okay, getting off topic now [06:24] kahrytan: add it before the "exit 0" line [06:24] tech0007, i did. And i left new line [06:25] Flannel: ok, i guess ill wait for 8.10 and if its still firefox come back for questioning and thx for helping me remove firefox completely btw [06:25] hello?

[07:12] ziro, there is no deb.. only dsc, tars, and others [07:12] dsc you mean [07:12] hi all [07:13] xjohnthomasx, if theres no deb youl have to compile from source (tars) [07:13] could someone tell me how to keep a wireless connection on? [07:13] xjohnthomasx, for that youll need build-essential on the compiling computer [07:13] yes he can [07:14] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/10/24/use-evolution-with-microsoft-exchange-ubuntu-606-610/ DesiSinger [07:14] what is evolution [07:14] ?

Drives me insane when it happens to me at work. [07:15] tonyyarusso you could try deleting ~/.gconfd/desktop/gnome/accessibility [07:15] <_Net> quick question [07:16] I do not know how long its been since I used a pop3/smtp program [07:16] <_Net> When I installed ubuntu my battery life when from 6 hours on my laptop to 3 hours [07:16] Quicksilva, how do you know it's your GPU? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:16] <_Net> can anyone give me any idea why this happened\ [07:16] Just putting load on it. [07:16] Quicksilva, are you using lmsensors + gkrellm to monitor? [07:16] nickrud: ~/.gconfd/ is empty - did you mean ~/.gconf/ ? [07:16] It always happens when it gets to 62. [07:16] err quicksilver_ [07:16] tonyyarusso yes, sorry [07:16] And yes, lmsensors, and the gnome applet. [07:16] quicksilver_, what are you using to monitor your gpu temp [07:16] ]ok [07:16] :) [07:17] tonyyarusso make sure that gconfd is not running first [07:17] Yeah, its 62, on the button.. As soon as it gets there, its done, crashed. [07:17] should it ever get to 62? [07:17] rara [07:17] Hi. so you know how in nautilus you can partially type say a directory name in a directory full of lots of items and it will skip ahead to that item? for some reason that has stopped working for me [07:17] hi. Hey could someone please help me? I want to convert videos for playing them on my iPod nano, so I created a shell script that uses ffmpeg. It worked fine on windows, but now I'm in ubuntu, and if I launch it it tells me "Unknown codec : libmp3lame". I tried also the mp3 codec, didn't work. How do I install that codec? I tried to install lame, but it still says the same thing... [07:17] t35t0r: Its supposed to idle at 35-45.. and get fragmentation at 90 or so. [07:17] houbysoft: did you try twolame? [07:18] no [07:18] houbysoft try installing lame [07:18] bazhang - thanks - i'll give it a try [07:18] ziro, how do i install the tras [07:18] t35t0r: Its set to crash at 125 C [07:18] already did [07:18] tars [07:18] np [07:18] 125C !!! [07:18] how about that twolame? what's that? [07:18] Yep [07:18] <_Net> No idea on why battery life is lowered on my ubuntu? [07:18] well i dunno [07:18] Ive read that all over the interwebs. [07:18] houbysoft and liblame0 [07:18] i don't know why ubuntu would crash ..did you check lmsensors settiongs? [07:18] Im not sure if its a driver issue, or something else. [07:18] check /var/log/messages [07:19] nickrud: Nothing. [07:19] quicksilver_: What type of card? [07:19] quicksilver_, what is this an nvidia? [07:19] I have, it doesnt say anything that looks like the issue to me. [07:19] has to be nvidia [07:19] Its an nvidia 8600 GT [07:19] tonyyarusso are you certain gconfd wasn't running? [07:19] i installed a bigger monitor to my CPU, and then came back to my older CPU and now the Welcome Screen is black. i can't even login [07:19] nickrud: Reasonably. [07:19] quicksilver_, have a win partition? [07:19] quicksilver_, what about nvidia-settings' temp monitor? [07:19] My CPU (Q6600) idles at 45C.. And no, no windows partition [07:20] nickrud: the directory wasn't recreated or anything [07:20] The nvidia settings monitor says the same temp as lmsensors [07:20] i don't know about gpu temps ..CPU temps that idle is fine but a lil hot [07:20] shouldn't go over 60-70 [07:20] CPU shouldnt go over 60-70? [07:20] definately not over 70 [07:20] tonyyarusso I was after the key .../accessibilty/startup/exec_ats . Not sure if gconf doesn't write the dir until it exits. [07:21] My cpu temps sometimes get to 55 on idle. [07:21] that's hot [07:21] 30-40 idle [07:21] And yes, I just blew out all the dust a few weeks ago... [07:21] 30-40? [07:21] yeah lemme check [07:21] Do you live in some place cold? [07:21] no [07:21] i installed a bigger monitor to my CPU and do nothing, then i moved back to my older CPU. Now there is a black screen. Everything worked fine before that. What could it be the problem? [07:21] standard room temp [07:21] Its 35C on a normal day here. :) [07:21] Outside, I mean [07:22] quicksilver_, what's inside temp? [07:22] Sometimes inside the room, while Im at work. :) [07:22] As high as 35C while Im at work [07:22] hah [07:22] well ok then that's part of the prob [07:22] quicksilver_: idk ive got same and its at 77 right now w/ambient of 54 no problems [07:22] But it still shouldnt crash at 62 C though. [07:22] lmsensors will complain at 78 by default [07:23] kernel messages will complain [07:23] wow [07:23] I cant get to 78 [07:23] with or without lmsensors [07:23] As soon as I hit 62, I crash [07:23] that's for CPU [07:23] i guess the problem is that, when i used the bigger monitor, the welcome screen changed settings for the screen resolution in Ubuntu. And now my older monitor doesn't support it. [07:23] And its a bad crash. :( [07:23] i dunno about gpu [07:23] Could anyone help me with this? [07:23] LOL [07:24] Hello russianspy [07:24] Tis me [07:24] So... Maybe a bad GPU? [07:24] Or bad drivers. [07:24] would be nice if you could test it on _otherOs_ [07:24] Thats what I think Ive narrowed it down to. [07:24] or try other version driver [07:24] quicksilver_: Any way to test it in another OS? [07:24] im missing this file /var/lib/dpkg/status i dont know what is ment to go in it can some one help ? [07:24] can i enter in safe mode and change the default screen resolution of my welcome screen? [07:25] lvlefisto, you can do it outside of safe mode [07:25] t35t0r: Beat me to it. ;-) [07:25] Hmmmm... I could build another machine.. Id rather not put another OS on this. [07:25] how? [07:25] hey [07:25] "I tried booting into ubuntu from a liveCD but it just goes blank [07:25] Hmmmm [07:25] Actually, I could just take out the HDDs, and put in a new one with the new OS. [07:25] nickrud: oh well, this isn't accomplishing anything. Next step - reboot. Failing that, finally have an excuse to install 8.04.1 from scratch later this week. [07:25] Should I try win xp? [07:25] can anyone help me? [07:25] quicksilver_, yes [07:26] tonyyarusso you can always do the "create new user->move data" ;) [07:26] http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Install_Ubuntu <- lol [07:26] ill search the forums :) [07:26] Ok, but before I go that route... Can somebody help me check my nvidia drivers? [07:26] can some one here help me? [07:26] Im actually kinda new, so Im not too familiar with it.

[07:28] t35t0r [07:28] t35t0r: if you're not being facetious... why are the devs imposing their will on users? [07:28] lvlefisto, isn't there some gui way to do it from gnome ? i'd tell you in xorg.conf [07:28] because devs are devs and user's are sheep [07:29] t35t0r, getting offtopic [07:29] man, i've _got_ to get off ubuntu and onto some sane distro soon [07:29] So, can anybody help me check if I have the latest nvidia drivers?

[07:31] so do you have opera using those dirs or not [07:31] it doesn't have the latest? [07:31] t35t0r: cat: /proc/drivers/nvidia/version: No such file or directory [07:31] t35t0r: i understand that the canonical repositories might lag a bit [07:31] tomasko, we are volunteers. [07:31] quicksilver_, cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version [07:31] quicksilver_: glxgears -info look at the top of the output [07:31] t35t0r: but it's ridiculous that 9.5 _still_ isn't in while firefox's been getting so much attention from frickin' beta [07:31] Oh, there we go. :) [07:31] tomasko, close source === dacableguy is now known as dacableguy86 [07:31] i want to compile a full lottery wheel any apps in linux that can do that??

[07:32] k20a: haven't seen any.. you've searched in synaptic? [07:32] Hardy is a stable version isn't it? [07:32] Thats odd... It should be PCIE ? [07:32] told russianspy to use text mode install! [07:33] t35t0r: since you didn't state a reason, i'll take it that you are... again, being mischevious rather than participating in a civil discussion [07:33] t35t0r, he doesn't know how to/nor what that is [07:33] t35t0r: How do I upgrade to the most recent? [07:33] t35t0r: im new to linux how do i use text mode instal [07:33] tomasko, please chat elsewhere. [07:33] russianspy, put in the CD, there's an option to do a text mode install [07:33] slart yeah i have === dacableguy86 is now known as Cable [07:33] and i am trying google searches [07:33] t35t0r, he doesn't get the boot menu [07:33] guys, need help with crontab.. My crontab file looks like this http://pastie.org/225374. But the command is never run at the specified time [07:34] is there a file where I can view my gnome-shortcuts? [07:34] why can i not find anything helpful on how to mount an external hd? [07:34] k20a, what numbers do you need the lottery numbers to be betwene?

[07:34] k20a, so you want 5 random numbers from 1 through 31? [07:34] If Im understanding him correctly, t35t0r , he pops in the CD and it attempts to boot to it...then fails. [07:34] it would be a list of like 150,000 numbers not random [07:34] is there a ubuntu yahoo webcam client that is any good? [07:34] Stupid Java... Why can't I get javac to run in a terminal? [07:34] bazhang: regarding your volunteer comment... yeah, and i know the barrier to become a developer is somewhat difficult, meaning it's not just as easy as "submitting" a fix. i have to submit stuff to revu with all sorts of notes to not offend the lazy maintainer who isn't putting 9.5 into the canonical repositories [07:34] kandala: take out the /usr/bin/sh [07:34] PseudoBob, install the jdk [07:34] 150,000 brackets i mean [07:35] PseudoBob, i just had the same problem ..but it works now [07:35] sun-jdk-6 [07:35] That doesn't allow you to run things in a terminal, does it? [07:35] bazhang: because doing the work for the maintainer is taken as an offense as far as i remember when i tried to help through revu with a package that later lost momentum [07:35] tomasko, what goes into the repos is outside of the scope of this channel; you file a wishlist bug or put the idea on brainstorm [07:35] when I go to use the passwd command I am getting the error "passwd: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info" what can I do to fix this ? [07:36] tomasko: Opera has its own repository, doesn't it? [07:36] Doing an apt-get upgrade / update doesnt seem to upgrade the nvidia drivers. [07:36] ?

[07:38] Flannel: yes, but i prefer to use the canonical repositories. i was just saying that if this had been the day of the release of 9.5, i wouldn't be in here complaining. but i think it's patently unfair that firefox 3 _beta_ was in hardy a while ago whereas opera 9.5 (which is stable and has been for nearly 3 weeks) is still not [07:38] russianspy, google ubuntu live cd turn off frame buffer [07:38] i believe edit the grub boot line and add "nofb" === klien-7 is now known as rara [07:38] I got a quick question. Lets say I dual boot with windows xp, can I use windows xp items when Im on ubuntu or do I have to log into the xp boot? [07:38] jbroome: http://pastie.org/225374 [07:38] for some reason javac isn't in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/bin [07:38] is ubott2 = ubottu right now? [07:38] tomasko: That's not how the repositories work in ubuntu. Freeze was months ago, and a few exceptions were granted this time around. [07:39] Flannel: And other easy way to upgrade nvidia drivers? [07:39] PseudoBob, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [07:39] or t35t0r for that matter. heh. :) [07:39] Flannel: i take it that firefox 3 was on of the exceptions. why wasn't opera? if this isn't the proper irc channel to ask, which is? === Cable is now known as Cable_ [07:39] Lets say I dual boot with windows xp, can I use windows xp items when Im on ubuntu or do I have to log into the xp boot? === dbjwq is now known as spikerman [07:39] Flannel: s/on of/one of/ [07:39] quicksilver_, I dunno if it'll work but what if you uninstall the ubuntu drivers and try installing from the official nvidia installer? [07:39] I uninstalled pulseaudio because of other problems, attempted to go to dmix, but that broke even more things. I have reinstalled pulseaudio and most things are working, but skype is not working now. I'm not sure skype audio was working before totally.

I just realoaded 8.04 and I don't have the command, I just have compiz& right now, which does not seem to be working === Cable_ is now known as Cable [07:40] Tweaker, you can read and write your data from within Ubuntu [07:40] kandala: stick a #!/bin/sh as the first line of gen_reports and try again [07:40] tomasko: I'd be happy to discuss further in #ubuntu-offtopic, as it'll get a bit lengthy for here [07:40] DistroJockey: I mean run windows game with out wine.. [07:40] Psh! Figures [07:40] I try to install a theme and FF crashes!!! [07:40] jbroome: okay. will try and ping you [07:40] Tweaker, ohh, no idea [07:40] Well, Hmm DistroJockey [07:40] t35t0r: The last time I tried to do that, I couldnt get into GNOME. :) So Ive been a chicken ever since. [07:40] btw, for all my bitching, i also want to say that wubi is a fantastic idea and i got a few family members on the kubuntu-kde4 version (which has some quirks, but it's a work in progress, so i should have expected that) [07:40] Tweaker, actually no, you need wine [07:40] what does LTS stand for? [07:40] long term support [07:40] Firefox's stability between versions has seriously flawed in the later versions in my opinion [07:40] !lts [07:40] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [07:40] long time see [07:41] Flannel: sure === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [07:41] Actually..Ubuntu in general has. [07:41] DistroJockey: Damn, wine seems to no be working now.

I just realoaded 8.04 and I don't have the command, I just have compiz& right now, which does not seem to be working [07:41] Tweaker, which version of wine are you using? [07:41] alright, so i got javac going [07:41] 1.1.0 Just updated last night when wineHQ told me too. [07:42] /usr/bin/compiz [07:42] Tweaker, ahh, k. Can't be of any further help sorry [07:42] Its ok DistroJockey thanks anyways. [07:42] Tweaker, np, good luck [07:42] How do I know that ubuntu is optimized for my dual AMD64 bit proc? [07:42] Thanks, off to winehq again! [07:42] t35t0r, using the full path, but that dosn't work, no ampersand at the end of yours? [07:42] enos, it's not [07:43] eric_, where are the session settings? [07:43] .xinitrc? [07:43] t35t0r: woah! wait, what! Why not? [07:43] system->preferences->sessions [07:43] enos by installing ubuntu 64 [07:43] enos, if you want optimizations go to #gentoo [07:44] there's a reason why the kernel is -generic [07:44] !smp [07:44] Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [07:44] t35t0r, system->preferences->sessions [07:44] i'm not in gnome [07:44] jbroome: no luck :-( [07:44] im not sure where its stored in text files [07:45] maybe its floating around in ps -ef [07:45] i looked in ~/.gconf couldn't find [07:45] but that wouldn't be the whole command [07:45] nevermind [07:45] Ok, so FF3 crashes when I install a new theme.... [07:45] kandala: poop. Sorry i can't help [07:45] t35t0r: I've read a few forums and there seems to be a problem withe setting the Flags for 64bit proc under gentoo. Believe me, I used gentoo for over 2 years [stopped for a while due to college] but now that I have some free time, I can't seem to decide what flav. of lin to use. I did install the amd64 ubuntu but, again, How do I know its optimized? [07:45] i'm having trouble installing my graphics card driver and getting a higher resolution (8800GT). I've installed and used envy, and i've got the driver downloaded and (i think) working, but my screen res is like 640X500 [07:45] okay thanks, i'll come back tmrw [07:45] wasob: run firefox from a terminal, tell us what the error message is [07:45] its 3am now [07:45] !lamp | RedHerring [07:45] any ideas? [07:45] RedHerring: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:45] peace [07:45] enos, i'm telling you it's not [07:46] hi all [07:46] (firefox:6380): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: [07:46] Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. [07:46] t35t0r: Okay, let me invert the question; How do you know its NOT optimized (sorry, i'm just trying to get to the bottom of things). [07:46] nickrud: Reboot did the trick. Unfortunately, it looks like the accessibility feature I needed that was mentioned in the specs was never implemented with the rest. [07:46] anytone want to take a stab at my question === hardian is now known as co_gaoul [07:47] Does anyone have skype audio working on 8.04? If not then I might as well put 7.10 back on here. [07:47] Gigs: works for me [07:47] I have spent about 6 hours on this pulseaudio mess now. [07:47] enos, check the kernel .config [07:47] i did a bad thing: i removed all groups and now they are back ...but i can't fix the sound ...is anyone that can offer me a solution ? [07:47] Gigs: but it won't use pulseaudio iirc.. I just uses alsa [07:47] enos, kind of stupid that they didn't compile support for /proc/config.gz [07:47] Slart: it's not getting along [07:48] enos, then you can check the build opts for lots of programs somehow in dpkg [07:48] what's the equivalent of rpm -qa using dpkg? [07:48] dpkg -p * ? [07:48] Gigs: no audio output ? [07:48] nope that expands the shell [07:48] Slart: yeah pretty much no audio either way [07:48] t35t0r: What does that do? [07:48] Slart: I tried getting rid of pulseaudio completely, then it would use dmix for audio output, but audio input was broken [07:49] list all installed packages [07:49] so I reinstalled pulseadio [07:49] Hello agian [07:49] Gigs: you've trying changing things in options, sound devices? [07:49] dpkg -l t35t0r [07:49] t35t0r: dpkg -l [07:49] Slart: yeah [07:49] sorry I discoed myself by mistake [07:49] Slart: trying to use only dmix broke tons of other apps [07:49] just curious: is this message going through? [07:49] did I miss and answer? [07:49] I love how gnome's gui wiggles ;-) [07:50] now that pulseaudio is reinstalled, everything else works other than skype [07:50] Unislash, yes [07:50] k :) [07:50] well, and second life also fails, because it also tries to use alsa directly [07:50] i dunno if it's possible to get compile flags from dpkg [07:50] Shaba1, no, but I have not seen your question yet [07:50] dpkg -s didn't give it [07:50] pulseaudio is grabbing alsa exclusively [07:50] just curious... (i've asked like 5 questions throught the last few hours with no responses at all :/) [07:50] brightness keys not working.. [07:51] Gigs: hmm.. I don't think pulseaudio grabs alsa like that.. at least it doesn't do that for me.. [07:51] hi. I've just installed ubuntu with the intention of dualbooting ubuntu/XP. The only issue is for some reason my extra partitions(i have 4, 1 XP 1 linux, 1 swap, 1 data) are being marked as hidden whenever lilo activates winxp. For example if i used parted to unhide the partitions, and reboot into linux they stay unhidden, but as soon as i boot XP they become hidden partitions [07:51] Unislash: you may ask again if you wish [07:51] привет [07:51] where are the dpkg's downloaded it? [07:51] Slart: well it started doing it for me since I uninstalled and reinstalled it [07:51] Gigs: I just select the soundcard I want to use in the options dialog and that works [07:51] soldats: very well :P [07:51] i'm having trouble installing my graphics card driver and getting a higher resolution (8800GT). I've installed and used envy, and i've got the driver downloaded and (i think) working, but my screen res is like 640X500. any ideas? === Hackbanger is now known as _23 [07:52] вы что все по английски говорите?

[07:53] thanks find was still running [07:53] ah, sorry: envyng-gtk [07:53] well dpkg -I package.dpkg doesn't give compile opts either [07:53] im trying to move all data from an old hard drive to a new hard drive. i copied all partitions using cp -ax ... and to test whether i did it right i booted up without using the replacement hard drive.... it sorta booted but i got stuck with busyboxy (ash) with the prompt (initramfs) or something.... whad i do wrong?

[08:03] stevo I am a windows techie [08:04] I have not idea what mounted is [08:04] Is there any other way to check hard drive space?

[08:05] Shabal the tab file systems shows you all the stuff you have mounted like / for your system drive (C: in windows) /home and probably /media/Windows [08:05] PseudoBob: that gig may be swap and boot so id suggest deleting some stuff [08:05] I have.

[08:06] ok [08:06] PseudoBob: getting rid of wine won't remove all the wine stuff from your homedir, which is where all your wine programs reside [08:07] Well, in any case, the amount of stuff I've removed should be more than enough. [08:07] those are the tabs in tunar/tundar right stevo/ [08:07] Shabal sorry I should have asked you what desktop your using, I am guessing XFCE if your looking at Thundar [08:07] how can i use bash to create a lottery wheel??

[08:08] Shabal hmm, ok looks like you don't have it mounted so this gets a bit more difficult with command line stuff :) [08:08] Shabal need to open a terminal program [08:09] PseudoBob: Where is your full partition mounted? It may be that the mystery space left is reserved space in that file system for the super user. [08:09] Amsunaakage, ahh, no idea what your problem is sorry [08:09] i am not actualy intrested in Kde or Gnome [08:09] Amsunaakage, install build-essential [08:09] Amsunaakage, ahh, scratch that, yes I do [08:09] vmware installation on my ubunut virtual [08:09] on my xp host [08:09] ok i ran the VMware-install.pl and all worked well till i get this message and i cant escape it "Trying to find a suitable vmxnet module for your running kernel.......None of the pre-built vmxnet modules for vmware tools is suitable for your running kernel.

[08:10] Shabal on the command line you can type sudo fdisk -l to list all the drives and their partitions (you want to look for the one that is your ntfs partition) [08:10] sorry but i gues snot [08:10] does anyone know how to get a broadcom driver recognized in 8.04? [08:11] Alright, I think I figured out the problem [08:11] Shabal you should be able to find the disk like /dev/sda or /dev/hda and then find the partition as 1, 2, 3, or 4 etc. so you get /dev/sda2 for example as where the ntfs partition is [08:11] how to check current line number in less [08:12] ruby invoke in with -N [08:13] Amsunaakage, sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) [08:13] I think I saw that a couple of weeks ago when I was using grub to instal xubuntu stevo [08:14] but let me check again [08:14] hold on [08:14] I seem to have installed the Shockwave flash plugin to the wrong directory.

[08:20] arooni-mobile__: press enter [08:20] bullgard4 pretty sure it's run by gnome-session, according to gconf-editor keys [08:20] arooni-mobile__: i mean when it gets to that point press enter [08:20] enos, please install the flash plugin from the repositories [08:20] joaopinto: Done [08:20] soldats: all that does is make a new line [08:20] enos: unfortunately no, and due to the closed nature of flash player its pretty difficult to reverse engineer [08:20] nickrud: Ok. Thank you. [08:20] soldats, no effect :( [08:20] soldats: (i have the same problem) [08:21] enos: :( 64-bit linux + flash don't mix particularly well. you might have better luck than i did though [08:21] Can I put bash scripts in /etc/rcS.d ? Cause I've noticed that the once put there by default are all sh scripts. [08:21] Shaba1, so you know now which drive/partition you need to access? [08:21] weird it does it to me as well but i press enter and it gives me the login cli prompt [08:21] Unislash, hah you too??? [08:21] I just did "man mount" [08:21] how do I get the page to scroll [08:21] brynjarh, that is a special location for start/stop scripts, not regular scripts [08:21] yea, me too [08:22] in windows that would be pgdn key [08:22] and those are links to scripts on init.d , not the real scripts [08:22] Shaba1, space or PgDn [08:22] Shaba1, space and backspace [08:22] it appears to also happen when you stop gdm as well [08:22] (in your actual install) [08:22] why won't the terminal let me move to /home ? [08:22] just goes back to the desktop [08:22] PseudoBob, hum ? cd /home ? [08:23] amrik: mozilla-plugin-gnash ...found it ;-) [08:23] arooni-mobile__: if it gives you a new line try entering your username password and see what happens [08:23] ok, so then how do i get down to my user folder [08:23] enos, please use adobe flash instead of gnash, gnash is very limited [08:23] Ok [08:23] joaopinto: What do you mean start/stop scripts? As I understand it the scripts there are the once that are executed first when Ubuntu is initialized, what I'm trying to do is alter the initialization of Ubuntu. [08:23] soldats: nothing happens [08:23] how do I "mount" the ntfs partition so I can see it in tundar [08:24] brynjarh, use /etc/rc.local for that [08:24] joaopinto: k [08:24] soldats, you mean a new line after running r.local boot scripts? [08:24] brynjarh, rc.d are software scripts, not custom scripts [08:24] arooni-mobile__: yea [08:24] enos: that comes with caveats as well, as in it doesnt support much of the newer flash v8 and v9 extensions (closed nature of flash etc. etc.) so i dont know how many websites will work with that [08:25] soldats, but its stalled there; and isnt moving [08:25] it flashes a couple times [08:25] but then hangs there [08:26] Shaba1, I'd make a directory under /mnt (sudo mkdir /mnt/somename) then I'd mount /dev/sdxx /mnt/somename (xx being the drive and partition you want) [08:26] arooni-mobile__: hmm weird, ive never had it hang or stall. its interesting though. not sure what to do. but i need to go but ill look into it tomorrow [08:26] heh, well, you've got two users who have the same problem :P [08:26] soldats, i'm reburnging a nother cd as we speak [08:26] i wonder what's the same about us [08:26] arooni: what's your gfx card? (that's what i'm having problems with) [08:27] arooni-mobile__, you should check the md5sum of the image, blind reburning a CD does not usually help [08:27] Unislash, geforce 7300 [08:27] You may have set "ximagesink" (X Window System (No Xv)) as video-output. This means, that your cpu is doing all the work. Change it to "xvimagesink" (X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv)) in order to let your graphics card do the work. [08:27] Shaba1, sudo infront of the mount command ofcourse [08:27] joaopinto, md5 of image is solid; checked it [08:27] How do I do this??????????? [08:27] joaopinto, this cd was booting fine before [08:27] My god this is confusing. Why do files that you save to your home folder show up in the desktop folder? [08:27] arooni-mobile__, have you done any hw change after the last time you have used the CD ? [08:27] hey guys. for some reason, my dvd drive doesn't mount when I insert a dvd... im using hardy... the light on the drive starts flashing and I can hear it spinning, but no icon appears [08:28] PseudoBob, they do not [08:28] joaopinto, yeah; i disconnected power from a hard drive [08:28] or added power i think [08:28] and dmesg | tail gives nothing abt the dvd drive [08:28] Well they do for me... [08:28] arooni-mobile__, your problem is related to that change, not to the CD [08:28] was still plugged into mobo [08:28] joaopinto, why should that matter? [08:28] the cd is the cd [08:28] ;p [08:29] well, obviously under my user name [08:29] simplyubuntu, is it listed in /media [08:29] not the home folder [08:29] arooni-mobile__, well it may change the hard drives ordering in away that may be causing a bug so that the kernel is unable to recognized your hd/cd drives [08:29] morning all [08:30] PseudoBob, have you tried to manually mount it ? [08:30] joaopinto, well i tried undoing what i did with no effect [08:30] disto [08:30] installed b43 firmware for my broadcom wireless chip, but it still won't show up in iwlist. can anyone help? [08:30] why give it a file name [08:30] not that I am against that at all [08:30] Ugh... I don't know. [08:30] DistroJockey yes there is cdrom0 in media but nothing in it [08:30] jut want to know the advantages and disavatages of it [08:30] Shaba1, you need to mount that partition somewhere [08:30] I'm having an issue with my Gnome desktop. it will lock up the applications, and won't let me switch to other terms, but the mouse still moves. ideas? [08:30] It's 3:30 here. I shouldn't even be up, let alone driving or operating machinery. [08:31] simplexio, faulty disk or drive is my only thought atm [08:31] joaopinto, i have no idea what to do now [08:31] simplexio, sorry that was for simplyubuntu [08:31] arooni-mobile__, sorry, neither do I :P [08:31] I need some advice re best way to view Firewall logs. I have a Ubuntu Server running as a Firewall which is all good but I need a good Windows GUI to view and interrogate logs, any advice? [08:31] arooni-mobile__, you bought some new cd's? [08:31] DistroJockey, do you have any ideas on this Gnome issue? [08:32] joapinto: i'm having the same problem as arooni-mobile_. I'm definitely ready to reinstall ubuntu to try to fix it, but i can't if htis livecd doesn't work :P [08:32] jeeves__, I recall you saying it freezes. Was there anything you added that I missed? [08:32] DistroJockey what was? [08:32] arooni-mobile__, you were having trouble with a dvd-rw iirc [08:32] simplyubuntu, , faulty disk or drive is my only thought atm [08:33] so like 'sudo mkdir /mnt/windowsCdrive [08:33] then [08:33] DistroJockey thought so too. its probably the drive. plays some dvds [08:33] bazhang, yeah that helped me boot to ubuntu live cd once or twice.... but now it wont boot anymore [08:33] arooni-mobile__, you bought new cd's? [08:33] correct DistroJockey [08:33] bazhang, yes!! [08:33] ? [08:33] DistroJockey what's weird is that my macbooks dvd rive is also not working [08:33] bazhang: and i'm having the same problem, and i didn't have a problem with dvd-rw :) [08:33] sorry i thought i already answered ;p [08:34] bazhang, i was burning the cd image onto a dvddr [08:34] arooni-mobile__, burn again at very low speed; what brand media is it? [08:34] bazhang, maxwell [08:34] Well /mount sda1 /mnt/WindowsCDrive [08:34] i had no idea brand/etc mattered [08:34] is what I mean to type [08:34] or what speed you burned at [08:34] they both matter arooni-mobile__ [08:34] hey, cool, my livecd is working now.... dunno what i did [08:35] they matter mostly when your cd/dvd writer sucks :P [08:35] arooni: try it again, it might just work :P [08:35] (try booting from livecd, i mean) [08:35] DistroJockey a lot of cd drive related issues atm don't you think? [08:35] did i use to just spin and spin and make a clucking noise [08:35] ?? [08:35] Shaba1, so far so good [08:35] simplyubuntu, *nods* [08:35] Shaba1, sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt. WindowsCDrive [08:35] Shaba1, sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/WindowsCDrive ^^^ [08:35] simplyubuntu, yeah, that is a bit odd [08:36] slah not dot right DistroJockey? [08:36] Does anyone here know anything about java? [08:36] Shaba1, nope, my last entry is the correct one [08:36] DistroJockey could it have something to do with an update? [08:36] Any firewall guru's please PM me, thanks [08:36] Unislash, damn it [08:36] !anyone | PseudoBob [08:36] PseudoBob: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:37] Ok how do I get out of the man page and back to the command prompt [08:37] hit q [08:37] Shaba1, q , for quit [08:37] ... [08:37] I'm confused. [08:37] arooni: what? :/ [08:38] Unislash, cuz i want mine to work :P [08:38] simplyubuntu, possible, I did get a 24-19 kernel update when I already had that *shrugs* [08:38] I'm getting serious lag here :( [08:38] re [08:38] is there a way to fix this: [08:38] mod_xmlrpc.so: undefined symbol: xmlrpc_registry_new [08:38] So can I get some Ubuntu-related Java help? === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [08:39] arooni: well, i dunno what i did.... i guess just keep trying :P [08:39] http://tinyurl.com/4ud3ge [08:39] PseudoBob, just ask your question, we will see if it fits here [08:39] the bug is confirmed, but still isn't solved [08:39] hi, i want to play .wma's in rhythmbox, yet it is not possible [08:39] can someone help me on that? [08:39] Ok. I finally successfully compiled my first java script into a .class file, but now my interpreter doesn't seem to want to work. [08:40] PseudoBob, java scripts are not compiled, you mean a java source file [08:40] Sure. [08:40] well, i have another problem now.... gparted nor the install program will recognize that i have partitions on my disk [08:40] any help with that one? [08:40] and no, this is not the proper channel for development, try either #ubuntu-java, or #java :P [08:40] ok DistroJockey you still here [08:40] ? [08:41] Shaba1, yep [08:41] Is there really a #ubuntu-java, or are you just messing with me? [08:41] DistroJockey should I try mounting manually? [08:41] the whole reason I asked that was so I could see my windwos partition under tundar file manager [08:41] PseudoBob, I believe there is, but there is nothing like checking [08:41] simplyubuntu, yeah, can't hurt [08:41] I just did what you said [08:41] and it still does not show up [08:41] Shaba1, never heard of tundar [08:41] Wow, turns out there is. [08:41] thunar [08:41] hmm its doing something [08:42] It come with xubuntu [08:42] Thanks, sorry to bother y'all >_< [08:42] ahh [08:42] Shaba1, can you see it in a terminal if you type: ls /mnt/WindowsCDrive ? [08:42] ubuntu doesn't seem to be recognizing any partitions on my drive... could someone help me please? [08:43] DistroJockey no medium found... guess not [08:43] ce_baek 14 [08:43] ce_baek 14 [08:43] cewek [08:43] simplyubuntu, bummer, sorry. Try the disk elsewhere, if it works it's your drive [08:43] cewek [08:43] DistroJockey yep that works [08:43] can someone help me on how to play .wma in Rhythmbox? Thanks [08:43] I shall try a dvd-'r' not rw [08:43] pria-30: are you having a siezure? [08:44] I was hoping to see it in the graphical file manager [08:44] tundar [08:44] Shaba1, and in Thunar if you browse there it doesn't exist? [08:44] ah Thunar is what it is called [08:44] :) [08:44] No it does not [08:44] hey everyone i have a kinda stupid question, i just bought a new 64bit computer, and now dualbooting with ubuntu 8.04.. its "missing" 450mb of ram.. but i just realized its my first 64bit computer.. so i sh ouldve used x86_64 ubuntu [08:44] i cant find System>preferences>Hardware Information in menu. What to do [08:45] does it make a major "difference" in performance? [08:45] ? [08:45] i'm happy with the way its working now [08:45] Shaba1, odd, no idea why, I don't use Thunar. I can't see why it wouldn't though === pria-30 is now known as ce_baek [08:45] is it "worth" installing the 64bit anyway? [08:45] Shaba1 try #xubuntu [08:45] is there that much of a difference in speed, performance besides seeing "all the system" ram? [08:45] nO one ever at the keys there simplyubuntu [08:45] that is why I come here [08:46] binskipy2u, I'd have to say it's not worth it [08:46] http://www.xfce.org/projects/thunar [08:46] its seeing almost 3.5gigs ram [08:46] DistroJockey, why do u say that [08:46] when i have 4 [08:46] binskipy2u: probably "not" for the average "user". It's not worth the hassle with stuff like "flash" or "java" [08:46] DistroJockey when in doubt restart :) [08:46] arooni-mobile__, less supported at this stage [08:46] can someone help me on how to play .wma in Rhythmbox? Thanks [08:46] the live cd is finally booting!!!!!!!!!! woot! [08:46] is there issues with flash/java? [08:46] jbroome, flash and java work fine on 64 bits, at least with Hardy [08:47] and other packages when using a 64bit ubuntu? [08:47] i reset my bios defaults; and that was all it took [08:47] in general? === pria-30 is now known as ce_baek [08:47] binskipy2u, not in my experience [08:47] hi all sup [08:48] anyone else? if you accidently installed a 32bit ubuntu 8.04 on a 64bit system and it seems to be fast, responsive etc, but its missing 450mb out of 4gigs ram [08:48] would anyone else go ahead and just install the 64bit version? [08:48] how can i setup the system proxy in xubuntu? [08:48] i've got a bit of a strange problem. I have a laptop, no buildt in wireless. I use a usb-dongle to get online. This is not working any more. I used it under ubuntu, reinstalled now it's les succes full. I does find a secured network of one of my neigbeurs. [08:48] binskipy2u, no, the overall performance is what matters most [08:48] binskipy2u, I'd install a kernel with PAE support maybe, but not 64bit [08:49] i have been reading about hack the kernel to make it better and to fix bugs it said to use emacs it that a good program to use [08:49] just wondering [08:49] i have this set up nicely and i like it.but i'm lookking for opinions [08:49] UBUNTUJAY123, that depends on your preferences, nothing we can help with [08:49] UBUNTUJAY123: you might want to find an editor you like before you start kernel hacking [08:50] baby steps [08:50] iam just now getting into it and what i have been reading is it said to use emacs [08:50] and if that what u should use thats what i want to start with useing [08:50] binskipy2u, if you can work out how to install the Ubuntu server kernel and also keep your current as a backup, it may be worth it. (not tried as I only have 1.5GB :( ) [08:51] ok [08:51] was hoping for more opinions [08:51] i dont 'Mind" re-installing [08:51] binskipy2u, hang around then :) [08:51] like my dad always saide no use useing a shovel when theres a backhoe to use [08:51] but i wanna know if ill actually notice something [08:51] lol [08:51] UBUNTUJAY123, we do not kernel hacking, and like you already suggested, first select an edtor that you like, later you may think on kernel hacking [08:52] ok thanks iam going to go back to reading [08:52] hi [08:52] how can i setup the system proxy in xubuntu? [08:52] and see what i can come up with [08:52] someone please? :) [08:53] Nicekiwi9, try asking on #xubuntu, anyway usually the proxy is something you set at the application level, not system wide [08:54] im trying to move all data from an old hard drive to a new hard drive. i copied all partitions using cp -ax ... and to test whether i did it right i booted up without using the replacement hard drive.... it sorta booted but i got stuck with busyboxy (ash) with the prompt (initramfs) or something.... whad i do wrong? [08:54] hello [08:54] anyone some idea about how i can fix me wireles? [08:54] im trying to install a game thats 2 cds and when it ask for the second cd i cant unmount the first one? [08:55] arooni-mobile__, I would never copy a system partition with cp, I am not sure it will handle special file types like devices... [08:55] arooni-mobile__, if you are looking to "clone" a hard drive or partition dd is probably a better option [08:55] MidnightHacker, why not ? you should be able to unmount it from a terminal [08:55] dd or partimage [08:56] tried says another app is preventing it from unmounting [08:56] open the cd driver [08:56] No DistroJockey just lookign to see it under xubuntu [08:56] DistroJockey, i did dd the first time;;; it also managed to screw things up ... plus the disk i'm reading from is suspect (i'm rmaing it back to segate) [08:56] shows the another app is preventing it from unmounting if i hit the eject button on the cd rom [08:57] or click unmount volume [08:57] arooni-mobile__, ahh, bummer :( [08:57] its mostlikely the installer thats running [08:57] o? [08:57] is that a linux-aware game ? [08:57] so what can i do?? [08:57] no [08:57] but i have wine [08:57] or you cded into the cdrom mountpoint or something first [08:57] please ask on #winehq [08:57] its counter-strike antholgy [08:58] turn off the power [08:58] Shaba1, I can't understand why you would not see it under /mnt [08:58] and turn on again [08:58] MidnightHacker: did you cd into the mountpint? [08:58] I can [08:58] that will prevent you from umounting the cdrom drive [08:58] mgolisch, he is running the installer *from* the cd, that is why it is locked [08:58] then hit the dject button on the cd rom [08:59] theres wine-eject or something [08:59] no i just put the cd in and open computer and the cd mounted it and opend it and click install.exe [08:59] but I do not want to have to drop to a terminal every time I just want to copy a file fromt the windows partition to the linux partition [08:59] no idea if that works [08:59] Shaba1, can you see /mnt in Thunar at all? [08:59] yes [08:59] and I see the file I created [08:59] how to change wine's C:\ drive location? [08:59] I named it C:drive [08:59] Shaba1, that is a directory not a file [09:00] yes [09:00] Shaba1, don't use : in names [09:00] it I mean folder/directory [09:00] My resolution is stuck at 1440*900... I think it MIGHT have something to do with how screw my motherboard was acting when I installed 7.10. Is there some simple way to just have Ubuntu attempt to detect/setup stuff for my video card again? (It's an old ATI Sapphire) [09:00] ah [09:00] damn [09:00] oh , i am sorry [09:00] any suggestions? [09:00] Shaba1, you said you called it WindowsCDrive earlier [09:00] i have not [09:00] any more [09:00] ok how do I "unmount" it so I can delete it adn give it a proper name without a : [09:01] I thought C:Drive mad more sense DistroJockey [09:01] Shaba1, :) [09:01] MidnightHacker, yes, copy the cd contents to a filesystem. or create an iso image and mount it, or ask on #winehq [09:01] Shaba1, sudo umount /dev/sda1 [09:03] Shaba1, normally I would do sudo umount /mnt/WindowsCDrive instead of the /dev/sda1 though [09:03] Shaba1, but in your case, I'm thinking that won't work with a /mnt/C:Drive [09:04] help, how do i create an ntsf partition to install xp [09:04] i previously had that but i erased the whole disk [09:04] now i'm on xubuntu [09:04] CostaRicanQuaker, wrong channel, ask on ##windows [09:04] yes i know,but how do i do it without just installing the boot cd [09:05] is there a windows channel on this server? [09:05] again, if you need help installing windows, ask at ##windows === Kyrin_ is now known as Kyrin [09:05] yes there is.. ##windows [09:05] CostaRicanQuaker: fdisk is the partitioner [09:06] ok that did it [09:06] what does it mean when the progress bar is going side to side instead of loading linearly ? [09:06] Shaba1, :) [09:06] Not exactly the way I wanted it to DistroJockey but good enough for now [09:06] arooni-mobile__, it does not mean anything specially, that is just a visual effect [09:07] hi PHP,Perl Linux programming $6 /hr , chetan at zeuscoder dot com [09:07] Shaba1, that's a start :) [09:07] how do you type the at? [09:07] joaopinto, uusally it goes linearly [09:07] arooni-mobile_: i found out what i did with my livecd [09:07] chetan_, please stop spamming [09:07] i went to character map and it doesn't show up [09:07] My MP3 player uses MTP protocol to transfer data, but every time I try to import music through Rythembox it grinds to a halt and locks up. Is there a way I can mount my player as a storage device and just import music that way? [09:07] arooni-mobile__, not relaly. it all depends on the progress indicator implementation [09:07] $6 is that much? [09:07] arooni-mobile_: i used a i386 architecture disk instead of the 64 bit that i was using before.... hopefully the 64 bit will load after i reinstall windows and ubuntu [09:08] Keaton, check your mp3 player documentation :) [09:08] bom dia [09:08] when i start a vnc session i only get a gray screen. How do i get a desent desktop ? [09:08] !pt | c0nfl|ct [09:08] c0nfl|ct: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [09:08] My resolution is stuck at 1440*900(When it's not busy spontaneously breaking and reverting to low graphics mode!) because Ubuntu isn't set up for the right video card. Is there some way to have it autodetect it? [09:08] anyone really good with wireless questions????? [09:08] joaopinto, here's hoping they've got that online somewhere. [09:08] i have a very odd situation [09:09] Hello! Hi, why cannnot I log by SSH in by neither publick key authentification nor password in my newly installed Kubuntu box? Dont see no error messages in /var/log/messages. [09:09] Shaba1, you will need to do those commands each time you reboot if you don't add an entry to /etc/fstab [09:09] i have the restricted drivers installed, and they were working fine until shortly ago, when they all of a sudden stopped allowing my ubuntu to see that there is a wireless card installed... [09:09] hi [09:09] um [09:09] does any one no what software is used to download music is called [09:10] OH I most definatly want to DistroJockey [09:10] josh p2p filesharing? [09:10] crackhead: Did you have 7.10 when it was working, and then switch to 8.04? :( 8.04 didn't work for me(At least not right away, so I switched back. Not worth the hassle for what I do) [09:10] so just write those same command into /etc/fstab? [09:10] josh search for donkey [09:10] hi [09:10] edonkey maybe [09:10] Shaba1, I'm not fluent with it. Might wanna read up on adding an NTFS partition to /etc/fstab [09:11] no [09:11] ok [09:11] cya [09:11] is there a linux program that can partition free space within an ext3 partition into a new ntsf partition [09:12] CostaRicanQuaker, gparted is your best bet [09:12] DistroJockey: can you link me to it? [09:12] CostaRicanQuaker, sudo apt-get install gparted [09:13] Is there a way I can have Ubuntu 7.10 attempt to autodetect my video card so it can select the proper settings? It r broekeded :( [09:13] CostaRicanQuaker, but you can't have free space in an ext3 btw [09:14] CostaRicanQuaker, you can however shrink an ext3 to make unpartitioned space that you can use, as long as that ext3 is not mounted [09:14] it looks like it already downloaded gparted [09:14] what do i do now? [09:14] Error running pipeline 'X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv)': Could not initialise Xv output [xvimagesink.c(1333): gst_xvimagesink_get_xv_support (): /pipeline9/xvimagesink7: No port available] [09:14] you run it ? [09:15] how do i burn it onto a cd? or can i do it from xubuntu? [09:15] vnc ? won't display a desktop ? howto get gnome-desktop [09:15] Whats the deal with not being able to use xvimage sync??? [09:15] CostaRicanQuaker, it should be listed in System - Administration [09:15] CostaRicanQuaker, you can get it in Xubuntu [09:15] CostaRicanQuaker, if you are goint to shrink your / partition, you will need to use a live cd [09:15] lars_bauer: ubuntu-desktop :) [09:15] let me tell you the whole story [09:16] lars_bauer: install the package ubuntu-desktop :) [09:16] timandtom: i have and am using 7.10.. no update to 8.04.. just did a "fix header" in synaptic, and then it hasnt been working since.. [09:17] hey [09:17] when I do ifconfig; I get a list of uh [09:17] spanther: maybe its gnome-desktop :-) [09:17] crackhead, Oh, sorry, I dunno then :( [09:17] eth0 / lo / wlan0 [09:17] is wlan0 my wifi card? [09:17] Paniked, yep [09:17] lars_bauer: gnome-desktop-environment ! :) [09:17] whats the command [09:17] dchlident [09:18] dchlient wlan0 [09:18] \? [09:18] i was trying to install xubuntu from windows xp, i backed up my files the iso image that i used didn't work so instead i installed an old old ubuntu cd, then with someones help at the kubuntu chat i got xubuntu and got rid of gnome but to do this i had to erase the whole disk and thats fine as i had backed up but then i stuck the windows xp boot cd in and it onyl read one big prtititon without it being devided into ext3 or anything and it only [09:18] offered the option of installing windows on it, so what i want to do is take part of the space where xubuntu is on right now, the free area and make free space for an ntsf partition [09:18] im trying to move all data from an old hard drive to a new hard drive. i copied all partitions using cp -ax ... and to test whether i did it right i booted up without using the replacement hard drive.... it sorta booted but i got stuck with busyboxy (ash) with the prompt (initramfs) or something.... whad i do wrong? (ive already tried running sudo update-initramfs -u -v; see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7766 [09:18] 93) [09:18] lars_bauer: first gnome-desktop-environment and then for ubuntu feeling ubuntu-desktop :) [09:18] dhclient wlan0 ? [09:18] spanther: what should i write in the xstartup file in .vnc [09:18] DistroJockey: cna i do that from xubuntu with gparted? [09:18] lars_bauer: vnc? never used vnc o.o [09:18] Hi, my FF-3.0 is always starting in fullscreen mode... I haven't used fullscreen mode before.... [09:19] CostaRicanQuaker, not sure that the Xubuntu live CD has gparted ot not. But you could get a copy of Partedmagic CD and use it [09:20] no i mean [09:20] lucypher: when you start firefox you can exit fullscreen with f11 [09:20] you just told me how to download gparted [09:20] i did [09:20] i got gparted [09:20] if i run it on here xubuntu that is [09:20] will it be able to create free space [09:20] for me to use it to have windows' ntsf partition [09:20] on it [09:20] CostaRicanQuaker, no, you need to not be using the system partition you wish to shrink [09:21] so, how do i burn it into a cd? [09:21] i remember i once did that, burning an image of gparted onto a cdr [09:21] but i don't know how to do it on ubuntu/xubuntu [09:21] CostaRicanQuaker, better to get http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMagic.php [09:21] whats a good ftpd that can run along with ssh; ;like on my shells I can use the same login as my ssh [09:21] like a shell from any provider [09:21] amrik: I know... but why does FF starts in fulscreen mode? [09:21] I used the 'Connect to server' option to connect to a ftp server. I might have entered the wrong password and opted to save it in the keyring. I can't log in to the server through Nautilus because i dont get a chance to enter a new password. How can i remove the saved password for this server from the keyring? [09:21] so what ftpd can i use to co-exist with ssh [09:21] heh [09:22] DistroJockey: i have no money [09:22] CostaRicanQuaker, it's free [09:22] http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMagic.php?n=PartedMagic.Downloads [09:22] lucypher: why not going to the firefox channel and asking there? so they will know about this bug and they know it better maybe ^^ [09:22] on this page which do i click on? [09:22] the bottom one? linux? [09:22] lucypher: hit F11 to restore the size, then close and restart [09:22] lucypher: oh it always starts in full-screen mode?

[09:23] reply yep [09:23] oops [09:23] Hi, anybody has an idea how to make SSHD accept also the network accounts from NIS. I can log in as a local user (when listed in /etc/passwd) but not as a NIS-user? [09:23] lucypher: that script is a hack that automatically will pretend to press f11 for you [09:23] CostaRicanQuaker, yep :) [09:24] lucypher: obviously not what you want to be doing but its a start [09:24] potf, why do you want to change it? maybe there is an easier way to solve your problem [09:24] ok saving [09:24] CostaRicanQuaker, burn and boot that, and you will be able to change all partitions on your hard drive [09:25] Hello all [09:25] unop, I want to install half life 2, but it requires to be started from c drive, I do'nt have enough free room at /home [09:25] alexei: NIS isn't particularly secure, you might want to consider LDAP [09:26] Is that normal if I can't play more than one sound at the same time ? [09:26] DistroJockey: how do i get rid of gparted then? [09:26] hi guys, where can i get my certificate on firefox? I signed up on comodo but haven't seen my certificate that they issued, im i on the right cahannel? [09:26] what should i do for this Error while compiling c program .. stdio.h: No such file or directory [09:26] CostaRicanQuaker, don't bother, it may be handy later and is only small [09:26] raj_: install build-essential [09:26] ok [09:26] sorry i dint get u [09:26] potf, exit all wine using applications .. then copy your ~/.wine directory to another partition that has free space then mount it in your home directory with sudo mount --bind /path/to/wine_directory ~/.wine/ [09:26] if I needed search bunch files for phrase is that grep or how would i do that? [09:27] I know this is not the propper xhatroom but the other one seems to be idle or something, but do you know how to make a shortcut in xubuntu? [09:27] i can create a folder on the main desktop screen [09:27] How do I make totem player, play a real media file? It doesn't pull up a codec list or anything. It just flat out, doesn't play. [09:27] and i also can't seem to be able to type the at sign or the number sign not even going to the character map do i find htem [09:27] amrik: that setup has been for years, I have to adapt myself. [09:27] FuRom: you can try vlc or one minute whilst I find the other way [09:28] Lenaud01, grep -r phrase /path/to/directory/* [09:28] CostaRicanQuaker, no idea here sorry don't use Xfce. Better to go and ask in #xubuntu (if more people did, then there would be more help there :) ) [09:28] thanks unop [09:28] -r was what i was missing [09:28] FuRom: or install the gstreamer packages [09:29] Lenaud01, you also might want the case insensitive search -i [09:29] Ziroday, aiight, thanks [09:29] i am using "Me TV" actually (DVB-T Viewer for Gnome / gtk) and it runs very well all these hours i try it now :) [09:29] perfect [09:29] someone who can help me please ? :) [09:29] CostaRicanQuaker, I guess I'll install it and play, then I will join #xubuntu ;) [09:29] !ask | The-Seiman [09:29] The-Seiman: 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. :-) [09:30] alexei: sorry to hear that :( i found this while googling: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch30_:_Configuring_NIS [09:30] I have an openoffice-problem [09:30] It sees some of my document-pages as empty pages [09:30] In print preview [09:30] Although they are not empty pages [09:30] !enter | Finnish [09:31] Finnish: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:31] I used the 'Connect to server' option to connect to a ftp server. I might have entered the wrong password and opted to save it in the keyring. I can't log in to the server through Nautilus because i dont get a chance to enter a new password. How can i remove the saved password for this server from the keyring? [09:31] i am going to replace my only hard drive with an identical hard drive (same size & all)... i have tried dd the firs ttime (it failed because i used a different sized partition, and ended up losing me a bunch of space). i used cp -ax from command line second time (which failed to boot).... what should i do now? [09:31] KenSentMe: check applications -> accessories -> password and encryption keys [09:31] Well, actually, using the ALSA drivers, I can only play one sound, other apps can't, so I wan't to know how to play more sounds at the same time . [09:31] Sorry [09:31] amrik, i can't delete individual passwords there, can i? [09:31] I'll remember that [09:32] The-Seiman: weird problem hehe i can and use 8.04 ^^ [09:32] KenSentMe: go to the tab under passwords [09:32] amrik, sorry, it seems i can, thanks! [09:32] Hi. so you know how in nautilus you can partially type say a directory name in a directory full of lots of items and it will skip ahead to that item? for some reason that has stopped working for me [09:32] spanther: I have also ubuntu 8.04, but I think the problem comes from my self compiled kernel and the alsa drivers from the git repository [09:33] The-Seiman: do you really need a self compiled kernel and git alsa drivers ? [09:33] The-Seiman: if not i would really advice you to use the original standards :) === zwox__ is now known as zwox_ === feuj is now known as feuj\100fume1 [09:34] The-Seiman: do you have the hardware mixing set up with alsa? or are you trying to use pulseaudio to mix? [09:34] spanther: can I reinstall the ALSA ubuntu packages to overwrite my self compiled one ? [09:34] does gparted understand if you're copying a smaller partition to a larger one? [09:34] i'm trying to transfer my system to an encrypted root (had some problems when trying to do it at install time), but i cannot get the system to ask me for the passphrase when booting [09:34] amrik: I don't know, and I am not using pulseaudio [09:34] The-Seiman: well you have to go into that alsa compiled folder first and write "make uninstall" with sudo and after that you can install ubuntu's original again :) [09:34] it just stops when i'd expect it to ask me for it [09:34] what could i have done wrong? [09:34] What's the correct package for virtualbox to run windows from linux? virt-manager or virtualbox-ose? [09:34] amrik, never seen that before :( Tis a handy feature. No idea what might have caused it to stop? [09:35] spanther: Okay thanks [09:35] DistroJockey: well the only thing I can think of is im running 2.6.25.9 kernel [09:35] DistroJockey: also i am using SCIM for japanese input which tends to cause problems with some other programs like wine [09:35] heanol: perhaps the password request appears on a console other than the one that you look at [09:35] The-Seiman: but since you use the long time supported 8.04 i really would advice you to use the standard ones to get the best compatibilities with all packages included :) [09:36] spanther: Okay, but the problem doesn't come from the kernel, na ? [09:36] The-Seiman: otherwise later patches could "maybe" make more problems too cause they cant work with your own alsa or kernel config [09:36] amrik, ohh, I have no idea what issues they may introduce but it does sound possible that they are the cause [09:36] The-Seiman: well then just get the ubuntu alsa back but uninstall your compiled first you need to go into this directory from where you compiled and installed alsa and then use commands i gave you :) [09:37] need help on installing gnubox on N70 via cable [09:37] any ideas ? [09:37] hello; everytime I seem to try and create a file on a samba shared drive; i get a smb permission denied; even while checking the "allow users to write option in ubuntu" [09:37] spanther: okay, thanks [09:38] BuFF: gnubox? N70? Are you sure you've come to the right channel? [09:38] The-Seiman: the ubuntu team trys to get best compatibility with all things inside the repos (sure you can still use self compiled applications if dependencys work) but things like alsa well...i ever would advice you to use the ubuntus ones for drivers and so on [09:38] soundray: tell me the right one pls [09:38] BuFF: I would if I knew [09:38] The-Seiman: alsa-git can be a bit unstable. i recommend 1.0.17rc1 [09:39] Paniked, I may not be much help here but, are you authenticating to the share with ldap or a local account? [09:39] huh? it asks for my login and i use the login that I login to my computer with... wow alot of logins! [09:40] Paniked, you would need to use an account that the system with the SAMBA share knows about [09:40] amrik: but theres a good sentence "never touch a running system" so as long the ubuntu's alsa runs fine without issues he doesnt need any other and so for support later he has standard ubuntu software and not own so its easier to support him :) [09:41] spanther: if hes like me he has his reasons for running the latest kernel and alsa, namely for sound support === Bodsda is now known as Bodsda|AFK [09:41] i know i shouldn't be asking here .. but anyoone know any good GNOME theme with blue background too? [09:41] i'm not really a fan of orange :( [09:41] well, i'll reboot to see if everything works, thank you all :-) [09:42] amrik: yeah but if bugs occur its harder to fix them :) (and since the ubuntu team doesnt use the newer alsa allready they can hardly help then cause they dont know these issues occuring) ^^ [09:42] The-Seiman: good luck :) [09:42] !theme | GreyGhost [09:42] GreyGhost: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [09:43] soundray, thanks [09:45] GreyGhost: I like this one from Gnomelook.org http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Blue+Heron+1280x800?content=84331 [09:46] well, I don't have sound :s [09:46] hi all - what's the correct current method to get 'wobbily windows' etc under ubuntu ? the Xgl guide on the community wiki says not to fololw it... and I'm not relaly sue Xgl is the technology I should be looking at either [09:46] The-Seiman: so the original ubuntu alsa didnt work for you? [09:46] pookey: uh... try compiz? [09:46] DJones, seems like only wallpaper :( .. but nice [09:46] Unislash: ok - thanks [09:47] pookey: System-Preferences-Appearance-Desktop Effects [09:47] spanther: well, I've reinstalled alsa-base, alsa-utils and the alsa headers, but that doesn't work :( [09:47] soundray: I'm under KDE - but.. I've enabled desktop effects but they just arent' working - it apepars the aren't attempting to work [09:47] The-Seiman: you've installed ubuntu and like i said only use an other alsa if the ubuntu ones doesnt work ^^ did sound work after a fresh install ? [09:48] pookey: perhaps try #kubuntu as well [09:48] soundray: thanks :) [09:48] spanther: yes, but as I've build a custom kernel, I had to rebuild also the alsa drivers from the git because the ubuntu ones don't work with the custom kernel [09:49] The-Seiman: then just use the original ubuntu kernel then it should work hehe ^^ === sean is now known as Guest79035 [09:50] spanther: well, i'll choose the standard ubuntu kernel from the grub menu to see [09:50] The-Seiman: the ubuntu kernel should work with the ubuntu alsa hehe :) === feuj\100fume1 is now known as feuj [09:54] youpi, no sound using the ubuntu kernel :-D [09:55] The-Seiman: arg X.x then you shot something in alsa and i don't know how to fix that sowwie ^^" [09:55] i installed ubuntu 8.04 and apt-get installed compiz-fusion, how do i set it up to start compiz-fusion by default ? [09:55] spanther: if reinstall the alsa packages doesn't help, then what else ? :'( [09:56] The-Seiman: freshly installing ubuntu from CD helps ^.^ [09:56] Hello. I use Ubuntu 8.04 amd64. One of the servers listed in the Software Origins window is quite out of date. I selected it as my download server using the "select best server" feature. When, trying to solve a few problems, after having tried out anything else I could think of, I switched back to the main server... 216 recommended updates appeared! My problems were gone after updating. I have already tried contacting the server's admins, but their w [09:56] eb and mailing list seem abandoned too. Where should I inform about this? Thanks a lot for your time and work. [09:57] ufk: btw, compiz-fusion is in default install :| [09:59] is there a way to completely remove pulseaudio? [10:01] gordonjcp: sadly no as PulseAudio is integrated to much into ubuntu for different things ^^" [10:01] you could damage some things maybe i've heard [10:01] spanther: oh ok [10:01] so basically, that's it - I can't use Ubuntu any more [10:01] ah well, it was good while it lasted [10:01] gordonjcp: why not? [10:02] gordonjcp: there's always a way [10:02] Algyz, but still compiz-fusion does not run, i have regular gnome [10:02] yeah :) [10:02] how do i mv a file based on its size [10:02] gordonjcp: where's the problem just tell it then why do you want to remove it :) [10:02] you having sound problems?

[10:29] is it the problem with ubuntu or with my laptop? [10:29] kk_ubuntu: neither [10:29] kk_ubuntu: that sounds perfectly okay to me [10:30] kk_ubuntu: this is an estimate based on the discharge rate, which can vary a lot. [10:30] lesshaste: use the troubleshooting link [10:30] I am going to try something drastic [10:30] rebooting into windows... [10:31] kk_ubuntu I would expect that the time remaining is based on the amount of work the computer is doing, so if its idling, the time remaining would be longer than if the hard drive was being accessed a lot, or the processor was being used heavily [10:31] soundray: ok but this happens under similar conditions. [10:31] using FF3 , and I cant see the trailers on apple trailers site, what do I need to install???

[12:10] slicky, read man udptunnel ? === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [12:10] soundray: gutsy [12:10] anyone in here used `ubuntu-vm-builder` yet? [12:10] Jonty: you may need to use the backports [12:11] can someone explain how to change alsa sample rate? or is it not possible? [12:11] !backports > Jonty [12:11] Jonty, please see my private message [12:11] Jonty: once you've enabled the backports repo, you can 'sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0'. Don't forget to update your launchers. [12:12] i want to post a message [12:13] soundray: ah, right, I see. That seems to lose all my config and also be RC3. No way of just making firefox update to the next version normally, then? [12:13] piet: you just did [12:13] yes I did [12:13] let's say when i open up the terminal it get's me to my home directory... can i change that ? that it promps (or how it's written) directly to another directory === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [12:13] how do i forward udp packages via a socks5 proxy? [12:16] Jonty: oh, strange. On my gutsy, the best I get on backports is beta4... You could do an installation from a .tar.gz, bypassing the package manager. Or consider upgrading to hardy. [12:16] marko_: if you install nautilus-open-terminal it adds a right click option so you can open terminal in any folder [12:16] legend2440, thanks it get's me a little closer to what i want to do :) [12:16] soundray: what would I do if I was on hardy? [12:17] Jonty: when you upgrade gutsy to hardy, firefox gets updated to 3.0 automatically. [12:17] <[diablo]> guys, for Ubuntu 8.04 and Xen specific questions... here or another channel please? [12:17] soundray: ok [12:17] how do i forward udp packages via a socks5 proxy? [12:18] hallo [12:18] [diablo]: try here -- but be patient and repeat your question after 10+ minutes [12:18] hallo [12:18] slicky, you don't [12:18] <[diablo]> thanks soundray [12:19] anyone know why gnome device manager is missing out of HH? [12:19] magnetron, http://lib.ru/SECURITY/socks5-faq.txt#q9 [12:19] koshari: it's been renamed [12:19] <[diablo]> well, I'm attempting to boot the xen-3.2 kernel for 8.04 ... on Ubuntu Desktop. .... when it gets to GDM / X , everything bombs [12:19] soundray what to? [12:19] <[diablo]> generic is fine btw [12:20] <[diablo]> x64 box [12:20] koshari: sorry, can't remember. Try 'apt-cache search gnome device manager' [12:20] slicky, your apps need to support UDP over socks. almost no apps do [12:21] soundray i think your refering o the restricted driver manager, rather than the gtk version of hal-device [12:21] koshari: no, I'm not [12:21] magnetron, dcpp ? [12:21] magnetron: sounds like he's trying to hide torrent traffic. [12:21] slicky: is that what you're doing? [12:21] hi. i am very noob. i wonder if any of you could help me. [12:21] is there a way to connect the vpn ethernet interface of the vpn server in ubuntu to the phisical network card ? so that way i can surf when i dail in via vpn ? [12:21] Can someone help me with my SPDIF connection in Hardy Heron? Currently only one application at once can use the Coax, so if I have a music player running, and the an IM client makes a noise, the music is cut out. Thanks [12:21] no, im not hiding torrent traffic [12:21] is the gnome-system-monitor the only task manager with a gui available in ubuntu? [12:22] slicky: what are you wanting to do then? [12:22] slicky, does dcpp support udp over socks5? [12:22] soundray well the gnome device manager isnt installed by default and need to be installed from the repos, [12:22] dcpp does.. [12:22] slicky, then use it. [12:22] Chicoinc: Just ask the channel your question. [12:23] Chicoinc: probly someone may if you tell em your prob [12:23] slicky, this isn't a Tor question, right? [12:23] magnetron, no it´s not.. [12:23] i cant mount my usb ket. the error messsage says somethung like -- line 11 in /etc/fstab i unvalid. [12:23] magnetron, i want to be in active mode on dcpp with a socks5 proxy [12:24] sorry i'm a slow typer [12:24] slicky, if dcpp supports socks5, tell it to use socks5. [12:25] magnetron, i do.. and it works.. in passive mode [12:25] !paste | Chicoinc, please pastebin your /etc/fstab [12:25] Chicoinc, please pastebin your /etc/fstab: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[12:26] both [12:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24188/ [12:26] i hope this is right [12:27] slicky, receiving UDP packets over a SOCKS proxy is impossible. [12:27] Chicoinc: the problem is the space in the name of the mountpoints. Try /media/Disk_2 instead [12:28] Chicoinc: also, you have duplicates in there. [12:28] Chicoinc: I suggest you get rid of lines 14-16 [12:28] slicky, what you need is something like a VPN.

[12:36] i'm posting the new fstab here http://paste.ubuntu.com/24190/ [12:37] is there a list of these !commands u are typing in somewhere?

OB1FoShoB [12:38] bazhang: thank ya ;-) [12:38] Chicoinc: how did you get to this fstab in the first place? A lot of it just doesn't make sense [12:38] np :) [12:39] ciao [12:39] ehh dont you mean line 11? [12:39] Chicoinc: you can delete line 13 since line 8 already mounts the swap file [12:39] PodMan99a: look at the cached packages in /var/cache/apt/archives -- are they mostly amd64.deb ? === luca is now known as ercaimano [12:39] Can the domain name for a LAN be different from the domain name for a web site hosted on the same computer? [12:40] hi everybody [12:40] hi [12:40] Chicoinc: also, you shouldn't mount /dev/sda1 again since according to lines 5 and 6 it contains your root filesystem [12:41] soundrAY: have no clue. as i said totaly noob [12:41] udptunnel -c TCP-addr[/TCP-port] [-r] [-v] UDP-addr/UDP-port[/ttl] <-- can someone explain what this means? [12:41] Chicoinc: did you make those fstab changes? [12:41] now i have deleated line 13 [12:42] i'm not that quick. sorry [12:42] http://psp1.vndv.com/vote.php?id=901 Love test for you.

[12:43] jameslr, yes, thats what i want to do [12:44] now nothings happens when i inset the usb key [12:44] wewt [12:44] sup ubuntuers [12:44] slicky: ok, have you tried it?

[12:47] slicky: meaning you need to initiate the tunnel on the server side as well [12:47] i dident. i just stop working after an update [12:47] ? [12:47] hi [12:47] Chicoinc: what kind of update? [12:47] jameslr, okey, iv got an ssh tunnel.. socks5 sending the tcp packages.. should i send the udb via the tcp ? [12:48] hi [12:48] slicky: you must use the udptunnel on the client and the server [12:48] hello [12:48] jameslr, okey [12:48] the update from ubuntu. and a did put in a new dvd drive. but until now i did not even know i had an fstab [12:48] slicky: client and server are both linux? [12:48] hey all, um, i couldnt get stackswitch working and ran compiz --replace in terminal, now , no decorations [12:48] I've had ubuntu installed on a macbook for over a week, and today I woke up and dhclient was eating up 100% of cpu. [12:48] jameslr, yes [12:49] someone in compiz-fusion is helping me [12:49] Chicoinc: which version of ubuntu do you have? [12:49] since I couldn't do much, I decided to reboot (the windows way out) [12:49] jameslr, server is debian 4.0 client is ubuntu 8.04 [12:49] and now I only get "GRUB " and nothing else (after rEFIt) [12:49] hardy or 8,4 [12:49] I remember seeing somewhere about this "if you only see GRUB " problem, but can't remember where [12:49] 8.4 [12:49] slicky then udptunnel -s tcpport clientaddr/ud-port on the server [12:49] is there something easier than 'linux from scratch!' i could use to build a custom iso of ubuntu? i want to include the software packages i've added myself and custom settings, but want the created iso to probe for new hardware on install...

[12:50] slicky: then udptunnel -c server/tcpport clientaddr/udp-port [12:50] no new install and all that [12:50] OB1FoShoB, please that ubuntu probes for hardware on startup, not only during install time [12:51] jameslr, thanks [12:51] jameslr, ill try it [12:51] BTW my new fstab after the changes you surgested [12:51] thanks for the info guys :-) [12:51] Chicoinc: you don't arrive at an fstab like yours by doing a fresh installation [12:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24191/ [12:53] suggestions on laptops under 500eur? [12:53] Chicoinc: you've introduced a new mistake by replacing / with a space [12:53] jacobian: wrong channel [12:53] (that work with ubuntu) [12:53] I'm not interested in one that won't run ubuntu [12:53] jacobian, join us in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:53] thanks [12:54] i really have no idea. hvat i have done but my plan is to make a fresh install after i have backed up my data. and that is preaty hard without an usbkey [12:55] Do you know some tool that will be capable of displaying many 'tail -f' outputs in one splitted screen? [12:55] Chicoinc: in line 11 /media Disk_2 should be /media/Disk_2 you forgot the / [12:55] ok have fiksed it. now it gives me the can only mount as root error as before [12:56] !fstab > Chicoinc [12:56] Chicoinc, please see my private message [12:56] for the desktop cube where i must clik?

[13:03] !backup is that a command or a prog? [13:03] slicky: if you already have a tunnel set up then client and server will both be localhost/tcp [13:03] I seem to be able to access the default apache document "it's works", but not other things on the box, like phpmyadmin or webmin [13:03] Karny, server connectivity probs of internet probs in general? [13:04] jameslr, how do you mean? [13:04] Bodsda: not internet really... local clinets accessing things like mysql or webmin [13:04] !backup is that a command or a prog? [13:04] even ftp seems weird [13:04] this might sound a bit noobish, but I'm trying to paste some files to /usr/share/icons, but the Paste option is greyed out.. how can I do it ? [13:04] slicky: udptunnel -c 127.0.0.1/9999 127.0.0.1/udpport [13:05] Tyreus: that is a factoid to give info on how to backups. click on the links to read about how to backup [13:05] Karny, sorry, im not familliar with servers [13:05] lenix_: you probably don;t have write permissions on that folder [13:05] sbackup [13:05] ok, thanks Bodsda [13:05] Karny, isn't there a way to make the user i use have permissions on all folders? [13:05] lenix_, command line would be easier or install nautilus-sudo its because you do not have permission to modify that file/folder [13:05] lenix_, yes there is but its a bad idea [13:06] !sudo | lenix_ [13:06] lenix_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [13:06] Tyreus: sbackup is name of a software package you can install [13:06] why would it be a bad idea if i'm the only one that use the computer? [13:06] !root [13:06] 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 [13:06] Bodsda, and ya i know about SU [13:06] lenix_, SU is different from sudo [13:06] i already know my root pass [13:06] hmm [13:06] Tyreus: sbackup is in synaptic [13:06] lenix_, really, i doubt it [13:06] lenix_: it's not necessarily a BAD idea. Just poor practice. [13:07] sudo su :P [13:07] lenix_: you won't always have root access to a system you should learn how to use a system without it. [13:07] Thx [13:07] jameslr, and on the server? [13:07] hi [13:07] jameslr, so it's all about bad practice then :P but I got no problem with it, I can do it over terminal [13:07] slicky: leave it the same. the tcp port doesn't require a host on the server part of udptunnel [13:07] i guess.. [13:07] so, can anyone help me with my issue? [13:07] jameslr, okey [13:08] I'm not sure why some things are working, whilst others are? [13:08] lenix_: There are inherent security risks to running as the root user, but that's on you. [13:08] lenix_, you need privileges to achieve this copy, for that you use sudo === Stavroulis is now known as Stavros [13:08] jameslr, i get this message: setup_server_listen: bind: Address already in use === Stavros is now known as Stavrosgr [13:08] Greetings [13:08] slicky: ahh yes that's because the tunnel is using the port. [13:08] Have anyone installed the Ibex alpha 1 onto VMware? [13:08] slicky: can't do the tunnel through a tunnel then [13:08] JGJones, no, but i have it on my system [13:09] jameslr, and i cant see the udp connection in nmap [13:09] Bodsda, what is the sudo command to move stuff around? [13:09] lenix_, prefix your command with sudo -- sudo cp /path/to/something/something /path/to/where/you/want/a/acopy/something [13:09] Bodsda - no spare machine...hence vmware however ibex does not work - get up to login, enter username/password and then it freeze. [13:09] does anyone know if there is some open source stuff like AutoCAD? [13:10] evgeny, there are a few GPl Cad programs out. [13:10] evgeny: blender might be what you're looking for [13:10] JGJones, hhmm, not sure there, any error? maybe consult #ubuntu+1 [13:10] evgeny, not sure of your needs. but qcad is handy. [13:10] tnx [13:10] blender and autocad - are sort of different. :) but i guess it depends on your needs. [13:10] Bodsda - thanks, have joined channel. [13:11] JGJones, cool [13:11] my needs are the simpliest [13:11] Bodsda, thanks, but I want to ask something, is there any difference between sudo cp and sudo mv ? [13:11] or is it copy / move ? [13:12] how do you change the login prompt sound - the one that's played before you actually log in? [13:12] lenix_: cp copies, move moves (read delete the source) [13:12] lenix_, yes, cp makes a copy and mv moves the original file [13:12] alright cool, thanks a lot guys <3 [13:12] ubuntu ftw :P [13:12] KrimZon, i belive its set in the gdm config file.

[13:17] excellent - I'll get that done tonight then [13:18] i don't think so.When i try to look up mu perl moules on perl-support i get that error. [13:18] It's a real pain not to have a stbale browser when trying to view flash [13:18] can one help me? [13:18] how can i make it higher then 640 ? [13:18] perlsyntax, this should give you your answers -- http://openbookproject.net//thinkCSpy/app_a.xhtml [13:18] masteredu, you did install the nvidia drivers for it? [13:18] fallend [13:18] Bodsda: Thats python, not perl. [13:19] Dr_willis the problem is that even when I run the failsafe login it still starts up those programs [13:19] I got a computer on my LAN that have 3 shares, I can't see them through network window, but I can access them if i write the command like smb://server/lenix/ , is there a command to list the shares on a specific pc on my lan ? [13:19] it's a windows pc by the way === Guest235 is now known as skunkworks_ [13:19] Pici, couldnt you just substitute all instances of 'python' for 'perl' ? [13:19] How would one forward all connections through a remote server with just a user account on the remote server? [13:19] masteredu: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution [13:19] masteredu, occasionally on my ssytems i bneed to install/run the nvidia-settings tool and tweak the settings. [13:20] lenix_: smbclient -L \\server\ -U username [13:20] where i find the nvidea settings tool? [13:20] Bodsda: I suppose, I didnt really look too closely at the link before. [13:20] in what orders? [13:20] when i had installed [13:20] Pici, it works amazingly for python ;~) [13:20] ? [13:20] Bodsda: I dont use vim, so ;) [13:21] Pici, your not an evil emacs man are you? [13:21] jameslr, thanks :D worked like a charm, how can I make it so it automount the shares I want ? ( My system already automounts all my local drives ) [13:21] masteredu, its in the packagfe manager called 'nvidiasettings' I belive. theres 2 such tools. install them both [13:21] bodsda, i want to install perl-suipport [13:21] ok [13:21] bye [13:21] lenix_: add them to your /etc/fstab [13:21] i come back soon [13:21] thanks for helüp [13:21] perlsyntax, and the problem is.... is there a package in the repo's? [13:21] *help* [13:22] what you meajn package [13:22] i show you the eroor i am getting. [13:22] perlsyntax, plz do [13:22] got "No ACPI support in kernel, or incorrect acpi_path ("/proc/acpi")." [13:22] perlsyntax: please use a pastebin [13:22] perlsyntax, pastebin [13:23] i show you the error befor.e [13:23] Waht to do? [13:23] *What [13:23] perlsyntax, please pastebin the error, and provide me with the link [13:23] X-tremAl_Raven: what gives you that error? [13:24] acpi [13:24] X-tremAl_Raven, is noacpi in our boot line? [13:24] Bodsda: there is no noacpi option to Ubuntu kernels [13:24] soundray, acpi-off? [13:24] yeah, do a grep 'noacpi' /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:24] how to start programs from another PC via SSH on my own? [13:24] Bodsda: acpi=off === Maarek_ is now known as Maarek_Stele [13:24] K-4U: ssh in, type the command [13:24] soundray, i always get acpi and apci mixed up [13:25] K-4U: or, ssh "command" [13:25] ahh didn't know that. thought noacpi was a standard flag [13:25] Bodsda: apci doesn't even exist ;) [13:25] gordonjcp: And, i will see it then on my OWN pc? not the other? [13:25] Bodsda: apic does [13:25] soundray, i swear theres something extremely similar to acpi -- ah apic, ty [13:25] I though there was some renaming of apic and apci to reduce confusion.. :) [13:25] X-tremAl_Raven: does 'dmesg | head' give you any clues? [13:25] jameslr, can you grep a file without cat'ing it? [13:26] K-4U: well, you typed the command on your own PC, that's where the output will be [13:26] okay :P [13:26] Bodsda: yeah [13:26] thought you had to use -X or something like that [13:26] jameslr, whats the command? [13:26] K-4U: for GUI programs you would [13:26] grep 'alsdkfjalskdfj' filename [13:27] jameslr, oh, ur right, cheers dude [13:27] jameslr, should i specify the and columns inside the fstab or can i leave them blank ? not sure what to put in there ( also the ) [13:27] Forgot where to look. Can you remind me? [13:27] Thanx. [13:27] lenix_: you must specify type [13:27] X-tremAl_Raven, /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:27] does anyone know if there are digikam 0.1 pakages around? [13:28] lenix_: options are necessary because you need to give the username you want to use to mount it. [13:28] lenix_, search ubuntu com docs for 'fstab' [13:28] alright [13:28] i'll see and will report if it goes fine [13:28] thanks [13:28] !find digikam [13:28] Found: digikam, digikam-dbg, digikam-doc [13:28] lenix_: k gl [13:28] !info digikam [13:28] digikam (source: digikam): digital photo management application for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 2:0.9.3-2ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 6890 kB, installed size 21928 kB [13:28] yeh thanks - i was looking for the latest 0.1, not 0.9.3 [13:29] clusby, yes, install with sudo apt-get install digikam [13:29] clusby, oh, then you would need to compile from source [13:29] ok thanks [13:30] clusby: the beta is 0.10 (not 0.1) === arashO|o is now known as arashO\\o === ara_lunch is now known as ara [13:30] Hey People! I try to enable bluetooth on my notebook. Any idea how? [13:30] When I do `hcitool scan` it says "Device is not available: No such device" [13:30] Umm, against which package should I file a bug about "The list of changes is not available yet. Please try again later." having the later refer to an unspecified number of years on average? [13:30] On the Ubuntu wiki, it says "start bluetooth-applet" but what does this do? nothing happens. [13:31] ge: you need bluetooth hardware [13:31] ge, if it 'does nothing' it has probably started the bluetooth applet [13:31] <_Brun0_> hi all. why do i keep getting this on terminal every 3 secs or so: http://pastebin.com/m15c24a09 === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [13:32] nonix4: is this an update from proposed? [13:32] soundray: i have bluetooth hardware [13:32] Bodsda: so now what? [13:32] ge: what kind? How connected? [13:32] _Brun0_: looks like either the cd in the drive or the drive is knackered [13:32] How do I check, if I have bluetooth? [13:32] soundray: its part of the notebook [13:32] danbhfive: whatever is enabled by default... most of the time the pkg is something in gcc toolchain [13:33] there are no nvidia drivers for 8.10? [13:33] ge: what notebook model? [13:33] i got a simple question...i am downloading a ubuntu live cd. All I have are blank DVD's. Will DVD's work in place of a baln CD? [13:33] soundray: samsung x20 [13:33] molgrum, there probably not yet in the kernel [13:33] umm a ubunut .iso file i meant [13:33] !intrepid | molgrum [13:33] molgrum: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! [13:34] Comet_Rider, i think possibly yes it would work, although ive heard of issues, why not download the dvd iso? [13:34] danbhfive: only hardy-securit and hardy-updates enabled [13:34] nonix4: yeah, i dont know, sorry [13:34] umm a ubunut .iso file i meanti couldnt find it, if i had of seen a DVD .iso i would have [13:34] Comet_Rider, you after 8.04 Hardy yeah? [13:35] ge: does your bluetooth hardware show up when you enter 'lsusb'? [13:35] Comet_Rider, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/release/ [13:35] yea i'm downloading the desktop version for 8.04 now [13:35] hello [13:35] soundray, may be lspci if its built in his lappy === lordrommel is now known as kaliMastah [13:35] <_Brun0_> gordonjcp, yea my laptop drive is not owrking. how can i disable it? [13:35] Comet_Rider, youll find a desktop dvd iso on that link [13:35] ty [13:36] Comet_Rider, your welcome [13:36] hello [13:36] Bodsda: I know, but we'll take it one step at a time, considering that lspci output takes much longer to parse [13:36] should this work fine in fstab /server/lenix (e) /media/LENiX ntfs username=lenix,password=****** 0 0 [13:36] ? [13:36] soundray, instantaneous on my system, or do you mean wading through the data? [13:37] _Brun0_: disable in the BIOS? [13:37] lenix_: not unless the drive is directly attached [13:37] if only my AT&T aircard supported *nix i could dump vista [13:37] soundray: i dont think so. it shows a bunch of iles like these: [13:37] Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [13:37] i already created /media/LENiX to be my mount point [13:37] <_Brun0_> gordonjcp, yea! iĺl definatelly try that. thank you! [13:37] so maybe i should get an usb-bluetooth-stick? [13:37] soundray, i think you may need pastebinit on this one ;~) [13:37] lenix_: what's (e)? and I don't see a device [13:38] lenix_: it should look something like: //server/lenix /media/LENiX smbfs username-lenix,password=***** 0 0 [13:38] the sharename is "lenix (e)" [13:38] ge: either that, or your integrated bluetooth hardware may be connected to the PCI bus, in which case it will show up in the output of lspci [13:38] !pastebin | ge, pastebin lsusb and lspci output if you want me to have a look [13:38] ge, pastebin lsusb and lspci output if you want me to have a look: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:39] jameslr, what if the sharename has a space in it, its called lenix (e) [13:39] lenix_: I'd create file called /etc/samba/creds and chmod it 700. Put your username and password in that file and specify credentials=/etc/samba/creds as well as your other options [13:39] quotations works? [13:39] any idea what i have in my mirc config that would make freenode block me from connecting here? [13:39] lenix_: you have to escape the space, but I'd just remove the space out of the share name. [13:40] <`Ampher> Comet_Rider: just use Pidgin :) [13:40] lenix_: what's the point of beatifying a share name anyway? [13:40] Comet_Rider, how can it be blocking you from connecting if we can see your posts? [13:40] soundray, ubottu: `lspci | grep blue` does not show anything. So I guess this notebook has no bluetooth. I will get an usb-bluetooth-thingy then. [13:40] `Ampher, thats not really a solution [13:40] i am using mibbit now, a web proxy basically [13:40] ge: grep is case sensitive. Retry with grep -i [13:40] it's not my pc, it's my room mates pc :P and he had the share names setup like that, maybe i'll ask him to remove the space -,- [13:40] <`Ampher> Bodsda: Maybe, but it is much better then mirc, right? ;) [13:40] nope not even close [13:40] lenix_: try it by escaping the space and putting a \ before it [13:40] `Ampher, its relative to the user [13:41] soundray: nothing either. [13:41] lenix_: man fstab has a hint on how to put spaces in share names [13:41] hi anyone please tell me the differences between ubuntu and kubuntu ? [13:41] <`Ampher> I'll tell you something, I don't even use the linux right now... so ;P And yeah, about his question.. whats better, Kubuntu or Ubuntu? [13:41] ge, try looking with your eyes, see anything related? how do you know you have an internel bluetooth device? [13:41] jameslr, will do.. although what about the smbfs type , should i put it smbfs or just ntfs ? ( the share type is ntfs ) :P [13:42] ubuntu use gnome and kubuntu use KDE [13:42] ge: the X20 comes in lots of versions. It's possible that yours doesn't have Bluetooth and you need a dongle. [13:42] <`Ampher> Yeah, I know that [13:42] <`Ampher> but, whats better [13:42] <`Ampher> Faster, easier [13:42] Bodsda, soundray: googling for the X20 shows, that there are many versions. I have "NP-X20 I". Maybe this one has no bluetooth. There are sites saying that the SE-Series has bluetooth. [13:42] `Ampher, neither, they are both relative to the users needs/wants you cant say ones better then the other [13:42] lenix_: ntfs is for direct attached storage. If you're accessing the filesystem directly through your drive controllers [13:42] hi folks [13:42] <`Ampher> k. [13:42] lenix_: you want to use smbfs because you're mounting the drive as a samba share [13:42] ge: I bought a nice one the other day, just fingernail-size and round [13:42] jameslr, got you, thanks! [13:42] <`Ampher> What are you using ? KDE or GNOME [13:43] `Ampher, not the place -- #ubuntu-offtopic please [13:43] hi ozkelli [13:43] soundray, Bodsda: thank you very much for your help. will switch to another computer now and have to turn off irc. [13:43] yeah.. which one is easier, faster, and better support and driver availability and compability [13:43] ge, ok, cya [13:43] offline_, which one what? [13:43] offline_, both neither depends what you prefer and need [13:44] bodsda: i mean between ubuntu and kubuntu [13:44] offline_, oh, sorry missed your question, try them both see which one YOU prefer, no onecan tell you which is better [13:44] wow going from a cd iso to a dvd iso changed my download from 600 mb to 3.7 GB... thats too much for my wireless isp connection :( [13:44] idleone & bodsda : thx.. i'm using ubuntu and will try kubuntu :) [13:45] Comet_Rider, ah, yes its a bigger file but there is a load more apps on the dvd [13:45] offline_, try KDE, you dont need to download and install a kubuntu iso [13:45] hopefully i dont lose my aircard signal lol [13:45] Comet_Rider, yeah ;~) [13:47] bodsda: im totally new with linux, so i dont know what is gnome and kde is, i tought if i want to try kubuntu so i have to download the iso... but download the kde ??? [13:47] ello anyone here uses gnokii? [13:47] offline_, ok, you have buntu. Ubuntu is buntu with gnome, Kubuntu is buntu with KDE, think of it that way [13:47] since AT&T doesn't supply drivers for my Operon GT Max aircard, how i connect to the internet, what are the odds someone else has made drivers or whatever they are called in ubuntu to work for my aircard? [13:48] Option* [13:48] test [13:48] !gnome [13:48] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [13:48] bodsda: ok i'll try to think that way as you tell me.. im googling now to find kde and gnome description. Thx [13:48] tristanaa, test succeeded [13:49] fine :) [13:49] offline_, have fun [13:49] hi all [13:49] ok :D [13:49] jameslr, can I test the new fstab with logging out/logging in ? [13:50] hi [13:50] i dunno why i here [13:50] lol [13:51] brb [13:51] lenix_: just do mount -a [13:51] lenix_, if any changes were made to fstab the easiest way to have them take effect is to reboot [13:51] or nm, heh [13:51] lenix_: sorry sudo mount -a [13:51] rebooting takes 20 seconds, [13:51] max [13:51] can anyone help me?? [13:51] !ask | woozzy [13:51] woozzy: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[13:53] it's not working, [mntent]: line 8 in /etc/fstab is bad [13:54] i finally took the plunge, installed dual boot with existing xp on my hp dv6226 laptop. Need help with the hibernate and suspend. Neither work.

So it will look like //server/lenix\ \(e\) [13:55] lenix_: ask him to remove the space and parentheses. [13:55] jameslr, ugly!! ;~) [13:55] lenix_: you also need two slashes before teh server [13:55] the* [13:56] any help would be greatly appreciated [13:56] i am on 8.04 [13:56] woozzy: why not build CDs? [13:56] cos pc i'm using cant have cd [13:56] /server/lenix\ \(e\) /media/LENiX [13:57] still getting same error, line 8 is bad [13:57] 2 slashes before server is there [13:57] lenix_: //server!!! two slashes!!

[13:59] lenix_: possibly. I've never passed username and password as options in fstab [13:59] lenix_: use credentials=/etc/samba/creds [13:59] lenix_: touch /etc/samba/creds [13:59] lenix_: chmod 0700 /etc/samba/creds [14:00] lenix_: then put a username username and password password [14:00] in the file [14:00] username and password are on separate lines [14:02] okay, i know my problem is a common one [14:03] but i don't know whether to use uswsusp or what [14:03] aschwalje: the problem is common.. the solution isn't [14:03] jameslr, username=user password=pass , seperate lines each [14:03] like that? [14:03] in the /etc/samba/creds [14:04] Slart, any suggestions? [14:04] aschwalje: I don't even know if hibernate works on my laptop... just haven't bothered with it [14:04] lenix_: no = just username username [14:04] lenix_: yes separate lines [14:04] aschwalje: nope.. just the usual, check the forums, google etc [14:04] does Moose have exceptions? try, catch, throw?

You don't have permission :P [14:14] although I'm sure the pass in creds is right ;/ [14:14] hello can somebody help me i got the error "cmos checksum error - Defaults loaded" If i want to start my pc [14:15] kaliMastah: 5 is the latest stable iirc. [14:15] do i have to install the mysql-server? [14:15] kaliMastah: Only if you want mysql as well. [14:15] lenix_: just because you can see the share doesn't mean you can access it [14:15] oh ok [14:15] superman: Thats more of a hardware issue, your best bet is to ask in ##hardware [14:15] thanks guys [14:15] superman: somehow the contents of your cmos memory (bios) got corrupted or so your bios thinks. Hardware issue not ubuntu specific [14:16] i can access it through smb://server/share/ [14:16] it prompts me with the user/pass window [14:16] this would be great...ubuntu rocks [14:16] i put my user pass, and i get access [14:16] Hi [14:17] Anyone need help with wireless and ubuntu im your man (i made a bt voyager 1055 work) [14:18] J [14:18] TGD: how bout wireless on SLAX (WHAX) :) [14:18] TGD, il buy you a beer if you can fix my bug [14:18] I dont drink (13) [14:18] But ill help [14:19] Bodsda whats your problem? [14:19] TGD, wifi works fine, but everytime i use the internet my cpu spikes to 90-100 % [14:19] What pc are you using [14:20] TGD, firefox, apt, wget anything which involves using wifi my system lags -- desktop hardy 32bit amd 1800 1.5gig ram [14:20] TGD, wifi device = Belkin F5d7050 usb dongle rt73 chipset [14:20] Is it only with wireless? [14:21] TGD, yes, ethernet works fine but is not practical to drape a wire all the way around the house [14:21] should my ~/.pulse/default.pa file be blank? [14:21] Bodsda: I suspect your drivers or wireless card are messed up [14:22] TGD, ive used the native drivers and tried the windows drivers via ndiswrapper to no avail [14:22] just a question, when i do sudo mount -a , it asks me for a password, is that the pass for my ubuntu user or the shares ? [14:22] user [14:22] i think it worked by putting the password for the shares [14:22] Wireless card then [14:22] TGD, classic but 'works fine on windows' [14:22] Windows has CPU control for wireless ubuntu cant [14:23] TGD, ubuntu can control cpu i believe [14:23] But before you shell out money try re-installing ubuntu (ubuntu can control CPU but not like windows) === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [14:23] TGD, ive reinstalled hardy plenty of times same prob even exists on live cd [14:24] Wireless card then [14:24] TGD, are you saying ubuntu 'cant' fix this? [14:24] Im saying either stick with windows (i wouldnt) or try a new wireless card [14:24] sharperguy: are u actually using pulse or ALSA? [14:24] pulse [14:24] TGD, neither are acceptable im afraid, cant afford new card and cant live with windows [14:25] was following a tutorial and it said navigate to a certain line, but the file was blank [14:25] sharperguy, pulseaudio problems are resolved by removing pulseaudio (unless you have a need for all the fancy features) [14:25] Hmm [14:25] Maby just maby (doubt it though) Its your box [14:25] jameslr, sorry for the headache :P it works now, gonna reboot in a while to see if its fine 100% .. and about the spaces, gonna remove them asap :@ [14:26] TGD, no, my dads machine, same device different box has the same bug [14:26] Bodsda, only if i can upgrade to intrepid when it comes out and still have it work [14:26] and i know thats ages [14:26] !pm | caeam [14:26] caeam: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [14:26] any reason an ftp user would be able to log in with /bin/bash as their shell but not /bin/false ? [14:26] Im sorry but your wireless card is fried [14:26] shingalate1: use /bin/true ? [14:26] Well not 100% fried [14:26] sharperguy, still have what work? [14:26] But ubuntu Fried [14:27] TGD, k, cheers [14:27] where do I find a guide how to make a customized ubuntu cd? all the guides i've found are outdated and does not work for hardy heron [14:27] sharperguy: the only files i had to edit (when i was using pulse) were asound.conf & liabo.conf [14:27] Bosda is your card under garantie [14:27] TGD, i doubt it, 3 years old [14:27] !uck | drcrimz [14:27] drcrimz: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [14:27] Bodsda, well the upgrade and have pulseaudio be configured and stuff because i here they're fixing it in intrepid [14:28] thanks bazhang ! [14:28] anyone know when the netbook version of ubuntu is coming out for download? [14:28] np [14:28] sharperguy, yeah, maybe -- im still not gonna live with it, unnecessary useless (to me) features [14:28] sharperguy: it was good at letting me have multiple audio channels open at once, but would crash for no reason, and wine refused to work with it, so i went back to ALSA [14:28] What arcitechter are you using? [14:28] wine actually always worked fine for me [14:28] with pulse [14:28] TGD, me? [14:28] Yep [14:29] sharperguy, it shouldnt, it has 0 support [14:29] sharperguy: then u were a lucky one :) [14:29] TGD, ive tried 32bit and 64bit (64bit chip) [14:29] Are you using partition? [14:29] sharperguy: nothing i ran under wine would give me sound (when i had pulse) === nick_riviera is now known as m4jkl [14:29] TGD, partition? [14:29] i think it might be dominating the sound card whenever i use it though [14:30] sharperguy: the main reason i switched was for skype, using x64, but it would still mess up, just let me get a little further than i could with ALSA [14:30] sharperguy, i think its actually using alsa, pulseaudio cannot work with wine iirc [14:30] Bodsda well does it look like 2 drives are in your pc instead of the real amount 1 [14:30] TGD, i have 3 hard drives and over 10 partitions [14:30] im quad booting [14:30] well you can set it to oss and padsp everything, but thats not what i was doing [14:30] TGD: What does that have to do with wireless? [14:30] can you share a /home partition between a 64bit and 32bit version of ubuntu [14:31] Might be that you have to many OS`s and its causing ubuntu to stall [14:31] sharperguy: if u run multiple audio apps like me, u may want to consider an old windoze box on the side (i know, cringe) [14:31] TGD, nope, lagged when i was single booting ubuntu [14:31] Bodsa: So, what is your CPU doing: low-priority tasks, kernel, running some particular processes? [14:31] Wireless card then [14:31] Internet [14:31] slayton, I think yes. But it'S a guess [14:32] macrobad, whatever app is using the wifi is spiking 90%-100% cpu [14:32] hi, all [14:32] is there any indonesian here? [14:32] TGD i no what the problem is im after a solution [14:32] !id | wiramaswara [14:32] wiramaswara: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [14:32] Im saying its the wireless card but i dunno [14:32] TGD: If you dont know, just say you don't know. [14:33] Its most likley to be that [14:33] Bodsa: Let me rephrase the question: what kind of tasks is your CPU busy with? Htop can actually help you to determine this. [14:33] macrobad, dunno, lemme lag myself, 1 sec [14:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix : my heron has exim4 installed by default, is that page incorrect? [14:35] when i insert any cd into my sata drive, it reboots my machine instantly .. any clue? [14:36] macrobad, firefox and xorg cause cpu spikes [14:36] so i added this network share to be mounted on boot in fstab, when i do sudo mount -a , it asks me for a pass, i put it, then share gets mounted.. but I tried to reboot, the share didn't auto-mount .. any idea ? [14:36] macrobad, im not exactly sure what you want? [14:36] anyone here using macbook with japanese keyboard layout? My problem is: ubuntu didnt detect it correctly, so few keystrokes is disabled, anyway the lay out is so wrong.

[14:37] my japanese is bad :) [14:37] Guest38348: How do you insert a cd into a sata drive ? I thought a sata drive was a hard drive? Do they make sata CDroms now? [14:38] visik7: No, /bin/true didn't work either [14:38] There are sata optical drives now [14:38] m-c: yes [14:38] they've made sata drivers for ever [14:38] well not forever but [14:38] tux: I'm not sure, Do you mind asking your question in #ubuntu-server ? [14:38] What firefox version do you have [14:38] and yes one error for the drive problem in messages [14:38] Pici, u sure? if i use apt, apt causes it, firefox=ff wgget=wget = [14:38] Neat.

When client accessing LTSP Server, it show the busybox n cannot continue. Whats wrong? [14:39] Bodsa: in htop you have a line on the top, which shows your the CPU load, and the memory utilisation. Particularly, the cpu load bar is colour-coded. What colour is prevalent during the spikes? Also, have you tried using ping or telnet? Does it produce spikes?

[14:45] macrobad, please go on [14:45] nado12111: no usb controler drivers loaded? [14:45] Bodsa, it's very likely your networking settings. [14:45] nado12111, does your bios recognize it? [14:45] can i use wine to install a winrar to my ubuntu? [14:45] nado12111: what does dmesg say? isnt it detected at all?

[14:46] omg where did my cube go?! [14:46] Bodsa: First of all, ping is supposed to send small packets, why do you want to increase the packet size? Have you altered anything else? [14:46] nado12111, does your usb hd have a seperate power supply? [14:46] macrobad, no, i just wanted to increase packet size to see if ping could cause lag [14:46] Bodsda: i tried to boot it, but something seems to be corrupt, it froze... [14:46] jameslr, any idea ? I'm thinking of posting the problem on the forums maybe ;/ [14:46] Bodsda: nope, it's 2,5" === _23 is now known as o_23 [14:46] ill fart on your grave! [14:47] nado12111: have a look at the last rows of dmesg [14:47] nado12111, you may not be getting enough power to the drive, remove all other usb devices and try again [14:47] after you pluged it in [14:47] lenix_: I'm not sure why it's not starting. certainly someone else has done this before. just not me :( [14:47] mgolisch, Bodsda, thanks, will try that, gimme a minute :) [14:48] jameslr, I feel you man, thanks for everything :) [14:48] guys, i am trying to install hardy heron now, when i read the preparing disk space part, i choose manual, but it keeps sacnning disks for ever and i think the process freezes, can any one help plz ?

Just run 'sudo tcpdump -i eth1' (or whatever your wireless card is called). [14:49] macrobad, should i close all internet using apps (inlcuding xchat) then try with something heavy like youtube? [14:49] Youtube isnt heavy no more [14:49] TGD, not helpfull [14:49] Bodsa: First try without any apps. What if tcpdump would be slow?? [14:50] macrobad, ok, cya in a sec, cheers dude [14:50] Bodsda try a 3d game on the internet [14:50] Bodsa: then something light, e.g. telnet.

Honestly speaking, it is quite difficult to analyze plain text output from tcpdump. You'd be better using Wireshark for local analysis. As for the clues, I don't like that the server was continuously not able to receive your packets... Investigate [15:12] I have to go.. [15:12] offline_: iirc, in the 'general' settings there is a place where you can set opacity by window type.

[16:12] well ubuntu runs it works normally but i cannot get the cube flipping window and visual effects [16:12] db92: or it might be that the script is run using dash/sh instead of bash.. there are some small differences [16:13] hey folks -- if i do an apt-get install - there are several types of packages listed -- those that are going to be installed, those that are suggested and some that are recomended -- how do i get it to do them all?

[16:16] db92: what happens if you run the script in a terminal? any error messages? [16:16] [d0wn]: we like problems that fix themselves ;) [16:16] i am even taking to my self here. [16:16] I'm having trouble getting alsa to recognize my external microphone. I did some digging around and looked at how windows classifies my sound card and it seems to me that alsa auto-detects the wrong hardware. I haven't been able to force the right hardware however. I started a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784597 that explains what i've found. [16:16] Slart, lemme check, although it is quite possible that i may crash [16:16] db92: I can't really see anything that would cause problems.. there shouldn't really be any need to run wineserver -k unless the app crashes [16:16] soundray, doesn't find that option on menu.lst [16:16] db92: I'll be here when you get back if you crash =) [16:16] so wen i am on ubuntu do i connect to the internet and then what do i do? [16:17] Slart, sometimes after exiting some instances of the app stay loaded [16:17] to get the restricated driver for my NVIDIA Ge force 7500LE [16:17] Slart, so i want it to close anything wine-related so as not to get the error message that an instance of the game is already running [16:17] db92: ah.. well.. it won't do any harm ... [16:18] grulk: it's normally on line 20 [16:18] xczsacsz: What does the error message say that "it doesnt alow me to it prompts me with a error message that it is not able to do so" ? [16:18] hi can anyone help me? i cannot record mic input [16:18] it sounds on the speakers [16:18] soundray, no, not in there [16:18] Slart, i got this error from compiz i think [16:18] GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly. [16:19] how can I add another panel?.... [16:19] grulk: is there a timeout line? [16:19] yes [16:19] it says the driver isnt compatible something like that sorry i am not in ubuntu now [16:19] grulk: what is it set to? [16:19] xczsacsz: you need to install nvidia-glx new. Refer to this thread: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=738571 [16:19] 5 [16:19] db92: but the first "metacity --replace" command worked? [16:19] but it asks me for a restricted driver... [16:19] ye i suppose [16:19] should be "nvidia-glx-new" [16:19] db92: that line might just be a warning.. it doesn't seem fatal to me [16:19] ok [16:20] !pastebin | grulk, can you pastebin your menu.lst pls [16:20] grulk, can you pastebin your menu.lst pls: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[16:20] xczsacsz: a conversation on a forum, like that one :) [16:20] db92: but the script worked when you run it from the terminal? compiz is disabled, the game runs etc? [16:20] oh ok i'll read it [16:20] thanx [16:20] normally double hitting and then keeping on pressing is like holding mousebutton but now there happens nothing :( [16:21] xczsacsz: sure np, let me know if it works after that [16:21] another question. is there a way to run windows vista in ubuntu [16:21] how can I check if I have firefox3.0 installed or its still beta ?? [16:21] and how can I install 3.0 if I have bate [16:21] hey folks - how do i create a user that is restricted to certain directories etc? [16:21] *beta [16:21] yes..thru virtualbox [16:22] xczsacsz: I think you can run it in a vm.. what do you want to do with it? play games? [16:22] <[d0wn]> Okay, I guess it wasn't fixed. I tried logging in, but now it's only loading my backgroun and cursor. I don't know, it may just be running really slow? because I gave it about 15 minutes to load the login screen, as I wasn't at the computer looking at it [16:22] xczsacsz: vmware [16:22] can anyone solve my audio problem in ubuntu? [16:22] ant record mic in [16:22] mad_max02: are you on hardy? [16:22] i want to use my normal windowsvista but i want ubuntu features on it [16:22] the cube and burning up windows and such [16:22] xczsacsz: no [16:23] soundray, yep [16:23] i prefer virtualbox than vmware... [16:23] Wont ever happen [16:23] jon__: perhaps if you tell us how you try to record.. what software you're using... what soundcard you're using etc.. what you found when googling the forums etc etc.. we might be able to help you [16:23] have problems with eition of xorg.conf once edited system restarts in vesa failsafe mode [16:23] any Ideas? [16:23] ok [16:23] Slart iam trying to reocord using krecord [16:23] xczsacsz: well, you can make the virtualbox "Windows" window wobble at least, heh [16:23] bella, use the backup you made before editing xorg.conf [16:23] Slart, no actually it got stuck because of that error [16:23] Slart the mic inout sound goes directly to the speakers [16:24] is there a program that lets you view jpeg bitmaps etc in just terminal? [16:24] db92: but if you run the same command from the terminal it works? [16:24] Slart, but if i run compiz --replace & alone and then ctrl+c, it does take me to the special effects [16:24] hello, can someone help me fix a problem with gnome-settings-daemon ? it always crashes and the visual interface is very poor. i get the following error: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.The Settings Daemon restarted too many times. [16:24] Hello, this is not an Ubuntu question per-say but rather a Totem player question. I have downloaded a visualization plugin for Totem, compiled it, but I do not know where to place the library. Any help would be appreciated. [16:24] mad_max02: run 'apt-cache policy firefox-3.0' to find out your current version (marked ***). If it's still beta, do a 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [16:24] Slart there is no soundcard it is inbuilt [16:24] norbi ok [16:24] why is the chekc updates on my firefox disabled? how do i update from the beta? [16:24] command to use backup ineffective magnetron [16:25] ramukmar: the nvidia-glx-new package do i download it in ubuntu. sorry if i am seeming abit irritating haha [16:25] Saftool: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [16:25] i am new to all this [16:25] I'm running a webserver on ubuntu. After installing the package "php5-xmlrpc", the web server no longer starts. I get the error "apache2: Syntax error on line 183 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/xmlrpc.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so: undefined symbol: xmlrpc_registry_new". Does anybody know what this error m [16:25] also audacity doesnt even detect the mic [16:25] db92: why ctrl+c? you shouldn't have to do that after the & [16:25] soundray, thanks. I'm on it [16:25] bella, no [16:25] magnetron, can restore from phigh but of course without the desired changes [16:25] xczsacsz: just go to system->adminstration->synaptic package manager [16:25] Slart, to get me typing again, if i dont ctrl+c the effects are active but i cant type anything in the terminal :p [16:25] Pici:latest just downlaoded it now === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [16:25] xczsacsz: then look for nvidia-glx-new in that list, select and install [16:25] bella, you made a copy of your xorg.conf file before you edited it. right? [16:26] ok [16:26] be back later [16:26] yes sir [16:26] Saftool: it's disabled so you don't bypass ubuntu's package management [16:26] yes magnetron [16:26] AdvoWork: sorry, phone :) seems like vmware would be a bit overkill. if you can figure out how to connect multiple monitors and keyboards up and have them running seperate sessions that seems better [16:26] bella, then copy it back and restart the x server [16:26] jon__: now take all this info and put it into one line and people might be able to help you.. while you wait you can google with the same info [16:26] Saftool: Then you'd need to run the updates from System>Administration>Update Manager (I think thats the app name). [16:26] Saftool: you can upgrade to the latest packages, including firefox-3.0 final, with 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [16:26] soundray: yes, the same [16:26] db92: that sounds odd.. tried just pressing enter? [16:26] soundray: sorry fo the interruption [16:27] *for [16:27] oh ... thanx guys that was my next question lol [16:27] how can i get the number of packages in my apt db? [16:27] it doesnt work magnetron [16:27] !doesn't work | bella [16:27] bella: 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. [16:27] that was a mistake, the package that caused the problem was libapache2-mod-xmlrpc2. [16:28] Gothfunc_: are you using gnome's mechanisms for sharing and mounting? [16:28] Hi all, I have a LUKS/LVM installation and I want to re-install ubuntu without clobbering user files in the different logical volumes. Is there a recommended way / guide for doing this ? [16:28] soundray: just a straightforward mount from the console [16:28] /server/LENiX /media/LENiX smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/creds 0 0 , was giving me trouble, i got rid of the credentials option and passed the username / password directly ( username=aa,password=xx ) .. and auto mount worked [16:28] any idea why using the credentials gives me trouble ? [16:28] Saftool: or use the graphical version, 'gksudo update-manager' [16:29] Slart, ye that works as well :P [16:29] db92: you can try disabling the "scale" plugin too.. unless you use it a lot.. the error message seem to be about it [16:29] #jakarta [16:29] I have restored using rconfigure phigh, command using command line to restore backed files doesn 't produce desired result, so it seems that edition of xorg conf in my configuration isn possible [16:29] is it possible to uninstall gnome and install xfce without touching my core ubuntu install? [16:29] Gothfunc_: once you've mounted, can you read and write to the shares with sudo? [16:29] ubottu thanks for the helpful suggestion [16:29] bella: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:29] lenix_: What format was data in the credentials file in? [16:30] BlackCow_: gnome is a part of the core ubuntu install.. so no.. but you can install xfce and then uninstall gnome if you want.. you'll still be able to use your computer [16:30] the format was like [16:30] a stupid bot [16:30] Slart, and how would i go about doing that? :p [16:30] username user [16:30] password pass [16:30] hi all! FREEPORN, i cannot record my mic input using any software runnig hardy kubuntu i have tried jack but no avail. the mic input sound can be heard on the speaker, also audacity doesnt even detect the mic, inbuilt soundcard [16:30] soundray: yes. [16:30] db92: system, preferences, appearance, visual effects.. there is a settings thingy there somewhere.. if there isn't try !ccsm [16:30] Slart: but will it remove all my program configurations and such? [16:31] Pici, is that format wrong or fine ? [16:31] Can anyone recommend a good FTP client for Ubuntu [16:31] Gothfunc_: would fixing the uid and umask through the mount options solve it? [16:31] hiptibecubic: my sound works, the USB microphone does not work [16:31] !info gftp | Xavura [16:31] xavura: gftp (source: gftp): X/GTK+ FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.18-17ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 45 kB, installed size 76 kB [16:31] One that isn't called FIlezilla or FireFTP [16:31] Is it in the repositories? [16:31] soundray: i believe cifs extensions disables umask etc. [16:31] BlackCow_: if you just want to test it you can install the xfce packages without removing the gnome ones [16:31] anyone know why snmp is only responding to the system mib but not ucd,hr,if? [16:32] BlackCow_: nope.. just uninstalling wont remove configurations.. unless you use the --purge option (or the "completely remove" thingy in synaptic) [16:32] lenix_: I'm not sure if it matters, but the (working) credentials file that I use here is in the username=myusername password=mypassword [16:32] soundray: i can change the permission of the mount point, which seems to work, but it changes back after a seemingly random amount of time [16:32] mm, could it be the equal signs that's causing all the trouble ? [16:32] soundray: oddly:s [16:32] BlackCow: I installed Kubuntu on the disc then installed Ubuntu on top of that and then removed Kubuntu and that was fine :D [16:32] guess I should try [16:32] Gothfunc_, im suprised it works at all that way.. one normally does not change mount point permissions like that. [16:32] ok so I would just do "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" and then boot into xfce and do "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop" ? [16:33] who can help me to make USB mic working? === jon__ is now known as crator [16:34] Gothfunc_: according to man mount.cifs you can set uid in the options [16:34] Dr_willis: how should i normally change it? umask? what about for cifs? any idea why the mount point would change to 700 when mounted? [16:34] Is GFTP in the repositories? [16:34] vasily: have you read the wiki help? [16:34] <[d0wn]> Is there any way I can list symlinks to remove them? [16:34] soundray: reading now [16:34] Xavura: try typing this "!info gftp" or run "apt-cache search gftp" [16:34] Gothfunc_, i dont recall ever using cifs, i used the smbfs at times. but now a days i normally use that fusesmb stuff to access my windows shares.

[16:38] l3d: Make sure that the hostnames in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts match [16:38] Dr_willis: well the owner is set to 1002 instead of the expected username (which is how this mount used to appear). since reinstalling, owner is 1002, even though i'm mounting with the correct credentials, and i thought cifs extensions were supposed to manage permissions and stuff itself [16:38] soundray: Thanks. I read the makefile and that's how I found out about "make uninstall". Now, lets say I installed the program, and deleted the folder which includes the makefile. How then, would I go about uninstalling that application. By the way thanks for that wrapper, looks very useful.

[16:47] [d0wn]: no [16:47] soundray: I'm not talking to anyone like anything, he was trying to help me with something that I didn't ask for help with, I was trying to help someone else, so err [16:47] soundray, got it thanks [16:47] but I get what you mean... [16:47] [d0wn]: What are you deleting? [16:47] !who > Xavura [16:47] Xavura, please see my private message [16:48] I know. [16:48] <[d0wn]> A symlink that I made for X11 last night, for the font directory [16:48] lenix_: did you fix the credentials issue? [16:48] I did, soundray. [16:48] [d0wn]: use 'ls -l filename' to check whether it's really a symlink. [16:48] Gothfunc_, not really... I might try adding the equal signs but I'm not sure if they're the ones giving me trouble [16:49] soundray: That wont work if the file is a symlink to a directory. [16:49] No, you didn't: I always have to type sudo in front of stuff to get it to work [16:49] lenix_: i'm having the same problem. couldn't figure out why [16:49] <[d0wn]> I get: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2008-06-12 13:50 bin -> ../bin [16:49] [d0wn]: use 'ls -ld filename' to check whether it's really a symlink. (Thanks Pici) [16:49] My sound works well under autodetect, alsa, oss etc. So, the sound manuals will not help. I have one very specific problem: I need to make USB mic working. This is the only option for me since my soundcard does not have a mic jack. I tryed so far EVERY option in System-preferenses-sound and in volume control. I do not have any sound from my mic. It was recognized by the system since I got DSP1 in my devises as I read in Google. Please [16:49] , help [16:49] Yeah, I was telling the guy to use sudo and he said it should do it automatically, I was saying that it doesn't for me and I have to manually type it [16:49] lenix_: on both gutsy and hardy, many installations. must be doing something wrong but don't know what [16:49] If you want a temp solution, pass the user/password directly in /etc/fstab , with no credentials option [16:49] [d0wn]: Thats not the font folder though... [16:49] lenix_: yes, just want to make it mroe secure :) [16:50] [d0wn]: that's a link to itself... [16:50] Gothfunc_, same.. did you try to put equal signs in creds file ? [16:50] [d0wn]: sorry, ignore me [16:50] * soundray needs a break [16:50] Gothfunc_, like username=user password=pass [16:50] Slart, ive just placed the sh in /usr/games and i simply call it with the filename [16:50] lenix_: i used examples i found on several sites. they did have = iirc [16:51] are there different channels here? [16:51] !irc | vasily [16:51] vasily: 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 [16:51] !who | Xavura [16:51] vasily: yes [16:51] Xavura: 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 :) [16:51] vasily, this irc server has 1000s of channels [16:51] db92: that might the problem.. try changing the launcher to "gnome-terminal -x /full/path/to/the/script.sh" [16:51] Gothfunc_, ya.. as for me I tried doing it without equal signs, but it doesnt work [16:51] soundray: ? I am. [16:51] Xavura: not consistently enough [16:51] Slart, whats the -x for? :P [16:51] soundray: I can't help if I forget every now and again, sorry [16:52] lenix_: perhaps there's something fundamental the manual doesn't tell us :) [16:52] [d0wn]: The bin directory should exist as a symlink to ../bin You shouldnt be removing that. [16:52] Xavura: then don't say that you are if you really aren't === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [16:52] Ok... [16:52] Gothfunc_, maybe it have to do with permissions, chmod etc [16:53] hi does anyone know anything about xchat? [16:53] gabbler, its an irc client. :) [16:53] hehe [16:53] i know that also [16:53] gabbler, it pays to ask the real question... [16:53] brb on my ubuntu irc client ;0 [16:53] X Chat is a good client for Linux, not as great on Windows though, but what is [16:53] sorry to be more precise, i would like to tune the colour schemes etc and whatever i try nothing happens [16:53] vasily: which program do you want to use for capturing/recording -- audacity? [16:54] sorry dr_willis [16:54] How do you switch character encoding on a per-app basis? [16:54] I somehow switched on cryllic on my terminal [16:54] does anyone know what package contains the "ip" tool? [16:54] gabbler, thers xchat, and xchat-gnome. most people seem to perfer the normal 'xchat' - [16:54] Doctor_Nick: if you don't know how that happened, it may help if you type 'reset' [16:54] is it a known problem that pidgin in 8.04 cant login to ICQ since today? [16:55] db92: it's a switch that tells gnome-terminal to run whatever comes after it in the terminal after it's started [16:55] reset? [16:55] soundray: yes, audacity. I just intalled it [16:55] dr_willis: thanks i will have a look at that [16:55] Slart, didnt work [16:55] vasily: can you make it see your microphone sound device? [16:55] kaii: You're not the first person to mention it today. [16:55] just switched to metacity and stopped there doing nothing << [16:55] db92: what did you put in the launcher [16:55] gabbler, i just toyed with the color settings in xchat, and they worked here.. its hard to get a good color scheme going.. the xchat homepage/forums has some premade ones you can try out. [16:55] does anyone know anything about pypanels? [16:55] soundray: I fixed it by closing and reopening it, but I just want to know what I pushed so i dont do that again [16:55] Pici: ok, i just joined the channel so i didnt see that [16:55] Doctor_Nick: that's what I suggest [16:55] Slart, gnome-terminal -x /usr/games/portal.sh [16:55] db92: you are running regular ubuntu hardy, right? [16:55] kaii: It wasn't in this channel anyway ;) [16:55] yup [16:56] or openbox since there isn't an openbox channel :( [16:56] i am swapping an old 300GB seagate disk with a new one. i booted to ubuntu liive cd and used gparted to partition new drive and copy & paste partitions (keep in the hard drives are exactly the same, but when i copied, i copied from the secondary ide channel (master) to the primary channel (slave)). to test my work, i removed all hard drives but the new drive. it starts to boot, but gives me message: "fsck.ext3: Unable to r [16:56] esolve 'UUID=22something'; fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=a187474-something'; fsck died with exit status 8'; *File system check failed; a log is being saved in /var/log/fsck/checkfs if that location is writable; please repair the file system manually.'. what to do now? [16:56] Pici: ic :) [16:56] Pici: you know any solution? [16:56] !ubo openbox [16:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubo openbox [16:56] Doctor_Nick: you may have displayed a binary file, which contained control sequences that changed your terminal settings. [16:56] haha [16:56] !openbox [16:56] openbox is a lightweight window manager. For instructions and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox.

[17:44] samad909: only if the hardware is reasonably similar [17:44] knittl: and then he bails on the channel without so much as a thank you. Well, people should really be complaining to the application developers who are distributing programs with user directories set to root-only permissions. [17:44] soundray: how similar?

[17:54] no its not even booting the kernel [17:54] dave11: it should be done for you automatically. [17:55] Slart: ok thanks [17:55] soundray thanks. i've just figure out that i was looking on the other hdd. :"> [17:55] dave11: no, but 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' adapts the 32bit one to your 64bit browser [17:55] can i do it Slart? [17:55] is the browser 64 bit? [17:55] dave11: yes, if you installed a 64bit system [17:55] eventmaster: to copy the file to a diskette.. insert diskette in drive, use nautilus to copy the file to the diskette.. [17:55] dave11: yes [17:55] maybe this question was asked thousand of times today, but what happened with pidgin/ICQ in ubuntu?

[17:56] ahh thats the problem... you need a 32 bit browser for the plugin to work [17:56] dave11: no, you don't [17:56] dave11: nope.. you can use a 64-bit browser with the wrapper thingy.. or use a 32-bit firefox .. [17:56] Slart: I was lucky to login there. It's not down, just overloaded. but there is no news on site, and latest pidgin version is from May [17:56] thats what the flash site says [17:56] arooni-mobile-> yes, thoes partitions needs to be mounted, manually or via /etc/fstab [17:56] oggu: one thing to check is the shutdown command in sys>admin>login window [17:57] dave11: they are wrong [17:57] arooni-mobileonly if you want them mounted in sepecial places automaticly [17:57] dave11: it does not apply when you install from the repos === MaarekStele is now known as Maarek [17:57] whats a wrapper?

[Critical,Confirmed] [17:57] yascher: I don't think the piding people did this.. I think icq did something with their server.. then the error message popped up from the pidgin module responsible for icq [17:57] dave11: you don't need to know. 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' will take care of it for you === Maarek is now known as MaarekStele [17:57] dave11: just don [17:57] Slart: yes, most likely [17:58] Slart: soundrayok thanks ill try that [17:58] Ziroday thanks [17:58] do you guys know if there's some #ubuntu-eee chatroom over the net ? thanks [17:58] dave11: just don't install the plugin through firefox [17:58] ok [17:58] thanks [17:58] yascher: that should be exactly what you need [17:58] dave11: if you've done that already, you should remove it before the apt-get one will work [17:58] soundray_: why not install it using firefox? that's what I did.. at least I think I did [17:58] in ubuntu 8.04 is there a way to make a folder password-protected?

[18:00] im using alsa for my sound system and my right speaker stopped working for some reason... everything works fine under windows so i know its not a hardware issue .... using a known good config didnt seem to help either [18:00] miko3k: not until the pidgin people get a grip on whatever has happened.. that's my guess at least [18:00] jackstraw-> how many times you tried to reboot? === scout is now known as masterkiller [18:00] may [18:00] many time [18:00] it just loops [18:00] miko3k: workaround is using web-based ICQ like koolim.com and maybe meebo [18:01] ive tried installing it twice [18:01] miko3k: isn't there a web-based icq client too? [18:01] how can I update to the latest amsn version?

[18:02] jackstraw-> and are you sure it finished the install? you can boot from livecd and inspect the installed system to see if everything is up and up [18:02] Slart: never heard of but sounds promising ... [18:02] miko3k: koolim works for sure (logged in there) [18:02] hi [18:02] miko3k: I've used it on windows.. never tried it on ubuntu though [18:02] how can i format a usb hdd? [18:03] nado_: using gparted.. or command line [18:03] Sylphid|work: did you check volume control to make sure both speakers have slider up [18:03] Slart: gparted does not list it [18:03] the instal finished and i got the conformation msg, i will boot from livecd now [18:03] legend2440, yes everything is set appropriatly in the mixer [18:03] nado_: "it" ? it doesn't list the drive? or the file system you want?

[18:04] legend2440, the only odd thing i notice with the mixer is if it is not maxed then it causes static to be played from both speakers [18:04] Xavura: I have no idea.. I always download the files before I edit them [18:04] legend2440, sorry.... if PCM is not maxed [18:05] Slart: like I can right click > edit, but I'm used to doing things fast and it just slows me down so much [18:05] legend2440, every other slider works as expected [18:05] i'd also have to change the partition table. it's the hdd out of my broken notebook and i'd like to use it as a simple ext2 drive now [18:05] Meh [18:05] lol, now the pidgin homepage is down :) [18:05] ICQ-DDOS [18:06] Xavura: you noticed the error message when you right click and select edit, right?

Is there any way to mount that entire machine rather than specific folders on it? or if not, how do I browse the machine to set up entries for each folder?

[19:34] iilh: i'd say ubuntu knows something is up with the drive, the card is going to be your best option really, or replacing the motherboard [19:34] OB1FoshoB and DeadKennedy, thanks anyway i'll try to talk with Jack_Sparrow that seems to have already better understood my problem [19:34] Jack_Sparrow, sure, that's true...so what should I do next? [19:34] eljaco the problems caused by doing that are not always immediately known [19:34] iilh - gl, let us know how it works out [19:35] Jack_Sparrow, is there some way to find what package depends on a package? [19:35] im not sure why i cannot see the wireless networks as i did when i ran the cd live [19:35] iilh So.. the jumpers are set to stay within the 1024 max.. do you get to the start or install screen? and are you using the livecd? [19:35] i've updated everything btw [19:35] To Find Dependencies apt-cache depends .

[19:36] are there any open source apps that allow outlook clients to share calendars [19:36] Adamn: You might consider purchasing a USB or PCMCIA wifi device, if all else fails. There are linux driver issues with many wifi cards these days. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/32516 [19:37] Jack_Sparrow, is there some way to see what packages depend on X, not what packages X depends on?

[19:37] nigma: i use it like that cause i didn't find any bluetooth gui program [19:37] Adamn: The cost of a wifi device may be much less than the effort required to enable and maintain a difficult to support wifi device with non-free drivers. [19:37] Jeruvy: ok, thanks [19:38] shadowhywind dd copy.. but you will need to fix mbr/grub issues [19:38] Jack_Sparrow, geeze, ok, calm down, I didn't know it would take a long time, I was wondering if there was a simple command that did that [19:38] m-c well said [19:38] i'd rather just get my integrated one working, as im broke right now [19:38] nigma: i think kde has some gui interface for bluetooth [19:38] adamn - its prolly not it, but system/admin/network [19:38] try googling round [19:38] tvrtko: in gusty i used simply to send from phone and a popup apparead.... but now with hardy is no more like that :\ i dont know what is the setting i've to change [19:38] adamn - unlock it and make sure roaming's enabled [19:39] tvrtko: gnome bloototh had too [19:39] Jack_Sparrow: They are less than $20 these days, some less than $10 at Fry's Electronics.

I have "uname@buildfarm" in ~/.distcc/hosts, but get the same errors as on http://www.mail-archive.com/distcc@lists.samba.org/msg02469.html (grep for Broken Pipe). Do I have to run distccd on the buildfarm box? If so, won't that let other users run arbitrary commands in my name? the distcc security docs claims distcc+ssh is secure... [20:09] asmo[B]: Your router doesn't know where to send the traffic, you need to tell it [20:09] Jack_Sparrow: forwarding is setup for the laptop and this machine is DMZ [20:09] m-c: When running nvidia-settings I get this error: You do not appear to be running nvidia X Driver, please edit your x configuration file as root.

[20:10] raheem: o_O [20:10] i want run mono-paint by any method [20:10] raheem What has that got to do with a router-port forwarding [20:10] the-herby, was your browser getting an "open with" box instead of the php output ? [20:10] soup12, either run it as sudo nvidia-settings, or if you add it in a meny, use gksudo nvidia-settings [20:10] joaopinto: yes [20:11] she meant that the pubic ip of that pc is visible & connnectible, may be [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: It's a weird feature on routers. Instead of properly setting up port forwarding, you can direct all traffic sent to the router that doesn't have forwarding properly specified to go to a specific machine in ht network [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: DMZ allows all connections to a specific IP [20:11] the-herby, that is a know problem with the firefox chaching system, it is related to firefox, it was not an issue with apache [20:11] k [20:11] ops, caching [20:11] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Toshiba Portege - external CD drive.

Now my grub has several kernels on it, how do I get rid of them? [20:34] Master_Z, you sudo apt-get remove them ?

[20:35] / does not need to be primary [20:35] ferronica: I can't see anything in the last few updates to note that change in behviour [20:35] ikonia: the documentation says to do the svn and then run 'uck-gui', nothing else [20:35] OB1FoShoB: contact the support people then [20:35] Master_Z, go to the package manager, search for the modules you have installed.. and remove them [20:35] VS?? i check open and ok but when i try run show me another think error or what i dont know ((sorry my English so bad [20:35] ikonia: that was my next step, thanx for trying :-) [20:35] is there any order that i need these partitions in? i thought i read somewhere that the logical ones have to be next to each other or something [20:35] element_, ok [20:35] ikonia: why it didint ask for authentication [20:35] also, I dont know what my original kernel was, but I think it was 2.6.24-18 [20:35] To be fair, having multiple kernel modules isn't the end of the world? [20:35] tabularasa_: i will check my email right now [20:36] ferronica: a good question, I can't see anything to say that something has been updated [20:36] ikonia: one month before asks for pass [20:36] How do I get Ubuntu to try to auto detect what graphics card I'm using? It isn't set up for the right one, and I really have no idea which one I have... Just that it's an old ATI Sapphire.

[20:38] tabularasa_: thx dude [20:38] Master_Z: What's wrong with it? Usually you just do sudo apt-get install virtualbox [20:38] :P [20:38] ikonia: same case with hdd [20:39] nixnoob, 00:11.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] [20:39] tabularasa_: i will try to use the zattoo right now [20:39] zelrikriando, then just: cd source-dir; patch -p1 < patch_file (the one available on the bug report) [20:39] Unislash: anything u like :) [20:39] ferronica: yes, it will be [20:39] hey, where are the fixed pidgin packages? [20:39] asulutzy, I installed it via virtualbox, but it says I'm using the wrong kernel? [20:39] timandtom: i would install the ati driver from the repositories. [20:39] sonium: they are not out yet [20:40] Master_Z: Shouldn't be a hard fix, do sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r` [20:40] reaction could be faster there... [20:40] nixnoob, er... How do I do that? :( [20:40] joaopinto, hmm where can I find the source directory [20:40] has anyone tried "Install inside Windows" as an option for Ubuntu? [20:40] my laptop has build in thing to connect ethernet cable and i also have a pcmcia card it gets detectedn and dongle cable lights up but yet won't connect with either build in or the card yet it always connects fine to desktop is there something i am missing?

[20:40] I'd like to install it at work but wondering about performance [20:40] tabularasa_: doesnt work, i can log in but i cant see the channels i think this happened to me cause im outside from germany [20:40] * trashguy fork bombs himself [20:40] timandtom: The next version of ubuntu will have a lot better support for that card, in October. [20:41] joaopinto, yup...now I am in a pidgin folder with other folders in it [20:41] element_, i think this happens because zattoo doesn't have any supported channels for el salvador [20:41] zelrikriando, the source dir is the pidgin-version folder :P [20:41] timandtom: im not 100% sure but I believe sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati [20:41] asulutzy [20:41] m-c, I'm still on 7.10. 8.04 didn't seem to work with my wireless card, after a few hours of trying with this channels help :( [20:41] hi. i've installed ubuntu and i understand ubutu uses GNOME. yet, on program instalation (Ass/Remove...) some KDE programs are listed. is it of to install them? if I have an option, is it better to use the GNOME app?

Please help me.... [20:42] miguelrsilva: from the login screen you can run any distro. KDE, kbuntu, or GNOME [20:42] timandtom: you may need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the driver line that says "vesa" with "ati" [20:42] element_, i can't watch those channels too, unfortunately. [20:42] ASULutzy: the system is almost dead, so I had to stop the copying heres the paste from dmesg http://pastebin.com/m590feee5 [20:42] has anyone tried "Install inside Windows" as an option for Ubuntu? [20:42] zelrikriando, from there, patch -p1 < path/to/the.patch/file [20:42] tabularasa_: really? [20:42] joaopinto: yea for that old card the open source driver is best i think.

[20:44] greenfishx3, also is it SATA DVD? [20:44] The laptops Dell sell with Ubuntu preinstalled, do they have a standard Ubuntu install, or has Dell customized it? [20:44] timandtom: do cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [20:44] joaopinto: does it have a duel boot option? just a quick question before checking the site [20:44] Master_Z: You need to tell us what error. That isn't helpful [20:44] timandtom: is there a line that reads Driver "vesa"? [20:44] nixnoob: that won't work on may 8.04 installs [20:44] please somebody help me [20:44] MaarekStele, yes, it actually adds an entry to the windows boot loader, so that you can boot into it [20:44] Can someone please help me with another X problem?...

[20:44] trashguy my computer is brand new, using a pioneer ide burner [20:44] poomalai, go into the folder wher trash is stored and rm the file [20:44] MaarekStele, it does not run "inside" windows, it needs to be booted [20:44] nixnoob: Xorg is dynamic so wont use that line by default [20:45] !paste | Master [20:45] Master: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[20:45] MaarekStele: but its better to stick to one interface or t doesn't matter? [20:45] joaopinto: bummer, I was wondering if I could start an instance, I guess I need a vmware to do that [20:45] Master_Z: Read the errors and at least try to decipher them yourself. Make sure that you don't have two package managers open at the same time. [20:45] Master_Z: close synaptic, close update manager. [20:45] trashguy all of my dvds works great in mac/win, but when I engage cp -r in linux the system almost dies, yes im sure i build my own pcs [20:45] nixnoob, yeh, under Device, for the Boardname and Driver, both are vesa [20:45] MaarekStele, yup, you need virtualization for that :) [20:45] ikonia: i dont understand quite what you mean? [20:45] ikonia, xorg will try and use vesa if told to do so [20:45] trashguy: I tried that but i am not able to find .trash file in home folder. But i can find .trash folder of other users in my computer [20:46] ASULutzy: the system is almost dead, so I had to stop the copying heres the paste from dmesg http://pastebin.com/m590feee5 [20:46] greenfishx3, dunno man, did u try midnight commander? [20:46] unop: yes, if told to, not by default, by default there should be no driver line [20:46] thanks guys [20:46] trashguy I did, and it wouldnt even cp any mountpoint I did [20:46] I had synaptics open [20:46] hi [20:46] greenfishx3: I saw it, I don't really get what's going on ;) [20:46] quick question [20:46] i how do i enable compiz in ubuntu 8.04?...i've got glxgears working...but when i put in the menu extra effects it does not work... any ideas???

[20:47] zelrikriando, where you able to apply the patch ? [20:47] I have been playing around with umask but it seems permissions are substracted from 666 [20:47] for files [20:47] aguja: you need ccsm for the advanced effects of compiz [20:47] another problem [20:47] ikonia, hmm, well, i wouldn't assume that -- the person could have upgraded from gutsy or a previous install where xorg used a xorg.conf with a driver specified [20:47] timandtom: you need to change the Driver line to "ati" instead of "vesa" [20:47] I installed VisualBoyAdvance but I dont see it anywhere [20:47] if i use apps from different interface packages, i have to login into different modes to access them? [20:47] ikonia: i dont know why hardy not much better === arashO|brb is now known as arashO|o [20:47] it would seem is impossible to have files with execute permissions by default [20:47] pablo_, they umask 022 would get you that [20:47] oh well thanks anyways ASULutzy, trashguy I guess I have to live with it :( [20:47] nixnoob, ok :D Is that it? And JUST the driver line, or boardname as well? [20:47] Master_Z: Whatever happened to our virtualbox issue.... [20:47] ferronica: what is that comment meant to mean ? [20:47] unop: not assuming anything, hence why I said "most situations" [20:47] th0r: thanks for the hint. I will try that now. [20:47] any wine expert here? [20:47] asulutzy: resolved, :) [20:47] joaopinto: umask 022 gives you 644 files [20:48] joaopinto, no [20:48] timandtom: just the driver line, may sure you edit the file using sudo and save it, then restart your X server by ctrl+alt+backspace [20:48] pablo_, you need a umask of 022 [20:48] Master_Z: Oh, well, you're welcome [20:48] can anybody in here help me with suse i know im in the wrong place :] [20:48] How do i AUTOMOUNT my fat 32 drives at ubuntu boot? [20:48] !fstab | addyy [20:48] addyy: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [20:48] addyy, add them to /etc/fstab [20:48] unop: umask of 022 gives you permissions 644 [20:48] joaopinto, can't find file to patch at input line 11 [20:48] so no execution permissions [20:48] ikonia: i mean hardy downgraded linux features [20:49] hmm... somebody else here experiencing problems with pidgin/icq right now? [20:49] add them with hda 1 hda 2 type names? [20:49] i dont even know wher ethe trash fodler resides [20:49] pablo_, a umask of 033 would give you 644 [20:49] pablo_, sorry, the OS default for files is 644 [20:49] !ask | element_ [20:49] element_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:49] ferronica: it's not downgraded any features, a feature you desire is not working as you expect - thats the facts of this [20:49] trashguy: Alt + F2 and type in trash:/// [20:49] ubottu: thx [20:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about thx [20:49] th0r: Thanks a lot.

[21:29] hello - is the isolinux program packaged for hardy. if i search on packages.ubuntu.com i cannot find anything [21:29] tarelerulz, you need libgtkpeer.so , whatever that comes from [21:29] eof everybody [21:29] tarelerulz, what program are you trying to install ? [21:29] evrybody [21:29] dayzman-w: do you have the restricted drivers set up? [21:30] joaopinto, I am trying to install iplist . [21:30] overlordpuppy: There are some new open source drivers (radeon) coming out for those cards, that might work better: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature - otherwise, I am not familiar with the closed applications for their ATI models [21:30] CorbinFox, yes i do [21:31] sudo /say hi all [21:31] I want to install Ubuntu on the laptop where I've used Vista for a while. So, there is an NTFS partition, where some of my files are stored. I want to create separate / and /home partitions and copy all my files from ntfs partition. Afterwards, I want to delete ntfs partition an expand /home. Is that possible? [21:31] CorbinFox, it goes to like 80% while the page actually loads. unusually high. [21:31] hi all guys [21:31] dayzman-w: no clue then, sounds odd [21:31] ilembitov: you'd have to back up your files somewhere external first [21:32] CorbinFox, do i need to explicitly make my vid card to use hardware acceleration? [21:32] sudo /say ilembitov it would be best if you had a second drive otherwise you will have to use a makeshift swap partition [21:32] m-c: Do they have a driver for my card? [21:32] overlordpuppy: Is it a R100 chip? [21:32] dayzman-w: no, it should be automatic. [21:32] snova: I don't have that option, that's why I'm askinng. [21:32] is there a way to see what packages are installed by default to ubuntu? [21:33] m-c:r200 [21:33] <`Zigosity> Hey guys, quick question.. Trying to install 8.04 on my new PC, and the partitioner doesn't seem to recognize the HDD. It's a new WD 300gig Raptor (SATA, obv.), are those not supported right now or something? [21:33] I like java becuase it is cross platform ,but every I have use that use it seem to have problems . Like azueus works great for months then out of the blue it will crash and the same with iplist. Java based app I seem to break some how [21:33] TheDarkAura: I can't. It's a laptop and I don't have an external HDD drive [21:33] CorbinFox, hmm ok [21:33] hi. i have added an extra harddisk in my pc. i have erased it with partition editor. and i can mount it. but i cant read or write. is there an program there can do this [21:33] daYZman-w: you need binary drivers for nvidea or ati to use newer graphic cards [21:34] ilembitov: are you sure you can't? how much space does it take up? [21:34] TheDarkAura: 65 gigs [21:34] overlordpuppy: Yes, then, it is on that matrix. Here is some more information about configuring it, for advanced ubuntu users (not supported). Otherwise, it will be in the default 8.10 release: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?s=844e52238b85865d489a98d68b85e322&t=9951 [21:34] :) [21:34] argh [21:34] ilembitov: i understand you don't have somewhere to put it, but storage is cheap. plus, you can use it in the future for backups and such [21:34] die, pulseaudio, DIE! [21:34] I want to set up remote printing? is there an easy way to do that without setting up a vpn? if not is there an easy way to set up a vpn? [21:34] joebob777as7: print from what OS to what OS? [21:34] sudo /say ilembitov well, you could use a USB device right? or network it to a system that has the room and dump a copy there, or just go with the swap partition idea -- but it seams pretty risky if its data you are trying to keep [21:34] joebob777as7: for linux, you use cups [21:35] for windows printing on linux you use samba+cups [21:35] for linux printing on windows no idea:) [21:35] wolfeySI internet printing [21:35] snova: Is it so risky - what I am talking about? Can't a /home partition be resized? Or should I arrange an LVM thing? [21:35] joebob777as7: yes? [21:35] im looking to upgrade my MINI PCI wifi card to an atheros based card, any suggestions, i want something that will be better than an intel pro/wireless 2200 [21:36] wolfeySI, I can set up an internet printer with cups? [21:36] why o why is the new ubuntu so slow with windows? [21:36] ilembitov: some filesystems can't be resized easily. ntfs might be one of them (at least for making it smaller) [21:36] HI can someone tell me what happened here http://pastebin.com/d5cb4e698 I was trying to compile cdrkit-1.1.8, it's near the end when it tries to make on genisoimage [21:36] anybody know about any issue with configuring static ip address for wired network connected and after reboots problem with DNS using browsers...after i change the ip address it works..but when i reboot again..it doesnt work and i need to change the ip again.. [21:36] joebob777as7: well if linux wants to print over internet (TCP/IP) to linux server, no problem, cups does that and you probably have cups by default on ubuntu [21:36] since my install to the new ubuntu its 4kb/s every protocol i try ... [21:36] ilembitov: if you have a fast internet connection, you can upload your stuff somewhere [21:37] ntfs can be resized without problems and long you defrag it [21:37] wolfeySI what port on my firewall do I open? [21:37] Snova: I already have enough unallocated space for linux partitions, so the ntfs partition doesn't need to be resized [21:37] kevin, what do you want from the card? [21:37] snova: I want to resize an ext3 partition [21:37] ziggy: high sensitivity, comparable to the intel card [21:37] joebob777as7: 631 [21:37] ilembitov: i don't know how this is done, but it's possible. i'm not sure what your question is anymore. [21:37] how can i open .rar-packages? [21:38] !rar | gorgg [21:38] gorgg: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. 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 [21:38] kevin, you sure you want a mini pci? [21:38] is it a knows problem that the new ubuntu (8.04) is very slow to windows computers? didnt have the problem with earlyer versions ... [21:38] wolfeySI thx I'll give it a try [21:38] ilembitov: your original question is quite possible. how much extra space do you have? [21:38] joebob777as7: then on cups on client side, you add remote printer as [21:38] snova: I was just asking, whether it's possible to resize a /home partition after I install Ubuntu [21:38] i know about other options like usb, pcmcia etc, but i would like to have a card inside my thinkpad at all times [21:38] jarco, it is not a general problem, do you have the correct video driver installed ? [21:38] snova: 80 gigs [21:38] ipp://ip/printers/printername [21:38] something like that [21:38] ilembitov: yes, you can [21:38] ilembitov: i just don't know how [21:38] !gpart | ilembitov [21:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpart [21:39] snova: how about GParted? [21:39] hm [21:39] ilembitov: is the free space at the beginning or the end? [21:39] ziggy: having a mini pci card using internal atenna allow me a lot more mobility [21:39] yes joaopinto [21:39] !gparted [21:39] gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [21:39] ilembitov: there are several partitioning programs [21:39] OK, I guess it's possible then. [21:39] <`Zigosity> Hey guys, quick question.. Trying to install 8.04 on my new PC, and the partitioner doesn't seem to recognize the HDD. It's a new WD 300gig Raptor (SATA, obv.), are those not supported right now or something? [21:39] joebob777as7: ipp://ip/printers/printername that's remote printer in cups [21:39] Thanks to all of you [21:39] kevin, you really feel a usb nub is gonna take away mobility? [21:39] ilembitov, if your ext3 partition is in use, you will need to use the live cd === jconn|working is now known as jconnolly [21:40] im only saying, that you might consider something that can use an external ant. [21:40] anyone here managed to record in audacity? im trying to record from my vinyl decks to my laptop [21:40] joaopinto: And if it's /home partition (I'll make separate / and /home partitions [21:40] ? [21:40] I have a dual-screen setup. The desktop icons appear on the left screen (nautilus). Is there a way to limit them to the right screen? [21:40] ilembitov, you will need the live cd... :) [21:40] joaopinto: Damn) [21:40] hi, can someone help me to Compile cdrkit-1.1.8 [21:40] ziggy: if i go the usb route i would probably want an external antenna which would take away mobility [21:41] Josdell, what do you need to know ? [21:41] hello....:) [21:41] `Zigosity, are you getting any error messages? does the drive show up in the BIOS? [21:41] anyone able to tell me where I can find the guide on howto install acroread? [21:41] ilembitov: log in as root, unmount /home, and use whatever partitioning program you want to expand it [21:41] i really wish i could find a card like the intel 2200 that was using an atheros chip, but i have had no such luck [21:41] `Zigosity: hard to think why a basic sata drive would not be seen by parted [21:42] I have a "headphone as line out" is it possible to change to "headphone as line in" ?? [21:42] ilembitov: /home can't be resized while its mounted, but all the tools you need to modify it are on / [21:42] is it a knows problem that the new ubuntu (8.04) is very slow to windows computers? didnt have the problem with earlyer versions ... [21:42] m-c: could be on a fakeraid controller [21:42] *that isn't supported by the livecd [21:42] How can I install adobe reader on ubuntu? [21:42] <`Zigosity> spoon_man, No errors, I already have a windows XP partition on it and 50gigs of unpartitioned space I was going to use for my ubuntu install. It works perfectly as far as I know. [21:42] wolfeySI, ooh.. where do i find the binary drivers? [21:42] tyberion: what for? [21:42] (nick guest === Bash is now known as guest [21:42] <`Zigosity> m-c: Yeah, really. -_-. [21:42] tyberion: You don't need Adobe Reader, it is a bloated piece of software [21:42] tyberion, ubuntu includes a pdf reader, you shouldn't need the one from adobe [21:42] kevin, look into alfa usb [21:42] snova: uhrm, Isnt there a guide for installing? [21:42] daYZman-w: System/administration/Hardware Drivers [21:43] joapinto: i just need some help [21:43] the ant. is screw on, shouldnt affect mobility any [21:43] I'm having trouble installing my graphics drivers. I have an ASUS G1SN with an nvidia 9500M GS. The restricted drivers don't work, so I have to use the beta drivers. I'm unable to install the beta drivers. [21:43] joaopinto: whats the command for the included pdf reader? [21:43] *don't know how to* [21:43] joapinto: because for some reason === guest is now known as Guest11181 [21:43] Julia_, have you tried with envyng ? [21:43] !medibuntu | tyberion [21:43] tyberion: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [21:43] ziggy: the point is that if i want to move around, i gotta hold on to the laptop and all this extra stuff, i dont want to do that, id rather just have hte laptop [21:43] tyberion: adobe reader will be available in synaptic if you add the medibuntu repository (instructions on the site) [21:43] and if im in a public place it makes my intentions all the more obvious [21:44] joapinto: when I type sudo make i get this http://pastebin.com/d5cb4e698 (look at the end for the errors) [21:44] `Zigosity, I dunno, I haven't heard of that problem -- you might want to try posting a thread over at ubuntuforums.org [21:44] funkyHat: thanks alot [21:44] joaopinto: no. How do I do that? [21:44] <`Zigosity> spoon_man: Guess I'll go do that. Thanks anyway =). [21:44] funkyHat: whats the command I run the normal pdf reader that comes with ubuntu? [21:44] I wish I knew Tom Hanks. [21:44] wolfeySI, i'm using gutsy and the driver name is "nvidia" [21:44] Josdell, apt-cache search zlib dev (you need the zlib dev package) [21:44] is that the binary driver? [21:45] knows everyone what goes on with the icq servers? [21:45] trying agin. :) how can i auto mount a 2. harddisk. now i cant read or write [21:45] Julia_, install the envygng-gtk package [21:45] tyberion, just open the PDF file and the reader should open it automagically [21:45] then run envyng-gtk from the terminal [21:45] daYZman-w: no idea, but you want nvidea driver if you want real acceleration, opensource isnt that good:) [21:45] * wolfeySI uses ATI :) [21:45] tyberion: the normal pdf viewer in ubuntu is called evince I think [21:45] envyng will get the latest driver, compile and install [21:45] daYZman-w: there are nvidea fans around:) [21:45] ziggy; any other ideas? [21:45] ok thanks [21:45] thanks joaopinto [21:46] "nv" is the open nvidia driver [21:46] tyberion: or just double-click on a pdf file to open it [21:46] joapinto: will try [21:46] Does anyone know if theres any form of dc++ to use on ubuntu? i dont wanna use wine but i wanna use regular dc++ hubs [21:46] im nv [21:46] i am god [21:46] * wolfeySI doesnt have any issues with 'free/non-free'. whatever works good and i dont pay for it is free and good enough for me [21:46] jokka: valknut [21:46] nv is not good if you need 3d [21:47] joaopinto: i got it to work with 32-bit :) [21:47] tore, <3 [21:47] dotech, :) [21:47] thanks for the help anyway hehe [21:47] you need proprietary for 3d. [21:47] free drivers are good if you use openoffice [21:47] as long as it works im happy [21:47] joapinto: I couldnt find the package [21:47] but they suck even for video not to mention 3d games [21:47] jokka: nå [21:47] np* [21:47] wolfeySI: I hear apple makes some nice closed drivers for their unix operating system [21:47] Josdell, zlib1g-dev [21:47] proprietary is always faster. but some things arent supported [21:47] m-c apple is awfully cute, but i cant afford one:) [21:47] joapinto: thanks [21:47] and its joao, not joa :P [21:48] anyone here managed to record in audacity? im trying to record from my vinyl decks to my laptop [21:48] m-c, technically OSX is more based on BSD and NeXT [21:48] spoon_man: yup [21:48] joapinto: couldnt find the package [21:48] woah. Codeimp was here? [21:48] spoon_man: from NeXT yes, not BSD, but regardless, it is certified UNIX [21:48] joapinto: sorry :) [21:48] epp, actually proprietary supports features which are not available on the open source, not the way around [21:48] does someone know how to make USB mic working? [21:48] further discussions should go in #ubuntu-offtopic [21:48] what tool do you guys recommen for creating .tex files? [21:49] i have an nvidia card, should i use "nv" or "nvidia" as the driver? [21:49] Does it matter if there are 2 Device section sin my xorg.conf? [21:49] tyberion: i used Texmaker for latex, it was fairly good [21:49] Josdell, the package is available from the repositories, make sure you have them enabled... [21:49] tyberion: LyX perhaps is ok for latex too [21:50] wolfeySI: thanx alot=) [21:50] joaopinto: I have all repositories enabled, let me try in Synaptic [21:50] though earlier version of LyX didnt convince me [21:50] janito@janito-desktop:~/getdeb/build$ apt-cache show zlib1g-dev [21:50] Package: zlib1g-dev [21:50] tyberion: np [21:50] how do i open a program in terminal (eg evince) but allow the program to keep running even if i close the terminal window?? there was some sorta tag but i forgot it.. thanks!! [21:50] Josdell, I am assuming you are using hardy [21:50] mint_: one easy way is to use 'screen' [21:50] is there ann apllication option or command in ubuntu/linux to measure the network speed to another host? [21:50] mint_, nohup command & [21:51] mint_: apt-get install screen, screen command, then alt+d to detach [21:51] jarco, ftp :) ? [21:51] hello somebody [21:51] lol [21:51] joaopinto: yes [21:51] i mean like speedtest [21:51] wolfeySI, screen is not required to run an app on the background [21:51] oh ok thanks i'll install screen and try it [21:51] and it will not work for a gui app [21:51] couse obviusly i have problems transferring data :D [21:51] daYZman-w: you will want to use the restricted driver System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers [21:51] joaopinto: oh ok:) [21:51] joaopinto: i started with linux as remote irc tool, so screen is my friend:) [21:51] do people see my posts? [21:52] i am unable to do the following command: "dpkg --configure -a".. getting the following message: "requested operation requires superuser privilege". thought i was the superuser [21:52] vasily, yes, but we have no answer for you === Maarek is now known as MaarekStele [21:52] gorgg, you need sudo before the command [21:52] !sudo | gorgg [21:52] gorgg: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [21:52] what says id? === Spliffster_ is now known as Spliffster [21:52] ok thanks [21:52] joaopinto: yes I'm running hardy [21:52] is my question too noob:-( [21:52] [Q] How can i monitor how much data traffic i have used over a network interface? [21:52] ubuntu has any known speed problems with wireless? [21:52] Josdell, so the package is available for sure ;) [21:52] that fixed it :) [21:52] fritou o miolo [21:53] !ssh-agent [21:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about ssh-agent [21:53] joaopinto: is my problem very difficult? [21:53] joaopinto: will try again [21:53] solexious, I guess you can check that with netstat [21:53] MichaelDK How are you trying to mount it? [21:53] vasily, for me yes :P [21:53] ok. How do I run ssh-agent so that it integrates with my gnome session? [21:53] clikking on it [21:53] usb mic? [21:53] gorgg: you can almost turn off sudo by activating root. It's pretty easy, root is there, but there is no password. Activate the password for root and you won't have to sudo for maintenance [21:53] when I do ssh-add it says "can't connect to authenticating agent" [21:53] MaarekStele, that is not recommended !!! [21:53] joaopinto: i knew somebody would say that:) [21:54] YuriQ, was ssh-agent started ? [21:54] i was in the machine when i made an newinstall [21:54] joaopinto: you've got a point, but you have to maintain the sudo for the other users and limit their use of it [21:54] vasily yep, your system is fucked up pretty bad [21:54] Anybody having trouble getting calendars to sync using gnome-pilot lately? [21:54] um IT was in the machine [21:54] mmm dont all soundcards have microphone or line in? [21:54] joaopinto: no, that's my question actually - where's the right place to start ssh-agent so that he whole Gnome session is aware of it? [21:54] MaarekStele, root is not required for that.. I don't see your point [21:54] it's just some AC97 cards can switch if mic is actually second stereo out [21:55] is there a GUI component to this, or some script> [21:55] YuriQ, on .bashrc IIRC, better check google, there are some nice tutorials on how to setup the ssh keys chaintool [21:55] YuriQ, it must be started from a user login script [21:55] and of course you need real microphone with amplifier for 10 euros, not cheap ones for 2 [21:55] <`Zigosity> Oh, and another question; I'm trying to access another ubuntu box I have via VNC, everything is enabled and set up properly, but it gives me a "failed to connect" error every time I try. Any ideas? [21:55] :) [21:55] YuriQ: .xinitrc [21:56] YuriQ: http://en.opensuse.org/Using_ssh-agent_globally_for_X_session [21:56] joaopinto: I got it, now what do I do? [21:56] joaopinto: you can edit the scripting for sudo, if not done right, the other users will have access the same as you do (the admin) [21:56] `Zigosity, that means vnc is not running, or is not bind to the external IP address you need to connect to, or you have a firewall blocking it [21:56] MaarekStele, sudo is only required for admins, if you want regular users just keep them out of the admin group :) [21:57] MaarekStele: One of the advantages of Ubuntu is that it can be used without doing what you described, which is potentially dangerous and a security risk [21:57] is the loopback "iface lo inet loopback" suppose to be in the network/interfaces file? before eth0 [21:57] sun01tec1, yes [21:57] m-c well sudo or su is equal risk [21:57] m-c, the restricted driver is already enabled. [21:57] :) [21:57] oops [21:58] true, I don't have any outside users so I haven't added anyone or set limits for other users on my server [21:58] <`Zigosity> joaopinto:Okay, it's possible vino isn't running on the ubuntu box, but I thought it was... Firewall isn't blocking it, and and it's the right IP. Hmm. I'll try manually starting vino, I guess. [21:58] in bash programming, how can i start a process from my shell but have this process continue running even though my script has stopped execution? [21:58] does anyone know how to check the version of the nvidia driver i'm using? [21:58] nano_: add & at end ? [21:58] wolfeySI: I should show you the logs of hackers trying to log in as root for three months, one attack per second. [21:58] wolfeySI, not usually but it depends on you use both ,usually sudo is used for specific commands, while "su"/root for entire root sessions [21:58] nano_: put it in a while loop that never evaluates to true [21:58] on how [21:59] MaarekStele: when you create new users, by default they shouldn't be in the "admin" group, which means they won't have sudo rights [21:59] How do I generate a menu for fluxbox? [21:59] #kubuntu [21:59] m-c: so? i've seen them trying to log from china to nonexistant users [21:59] hi folks, Im having a problem with the resolution on a new install on my patents pc... the res is wrong and looks bad, if I go into Syste>Prefs>Reso> it does not let me change to a resolution that the monitor is set up for [21:59] /quit 5:00 :D [21:59] nano_, you run it on the background with nohup command & ? [21:59] wolfeySI, soup12 : i c...but the script will have to terminate, and i want the command to continue in the background [21:59] m-c: they didnt even guess 'root' :) [21:59] hrmm [21:59] why wouldn't i be able to access the internet through the browsers..when all the config including dns is fine...but when i change my ip address it works and reboot it stops working... any services i need to run at startup or something [21:59] i must of forgot the sudo [21:59] :p [21:59] joaopinto, i will try that [21:59] joaopinto: I got the same error after installing zlib1g-dev [21:59] joaopinto, so i should use nohup and also & [21:59] Josdell, can't be, it must be a different error :) [21:59] sun01tec1: you can do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:00] I mean the cause, not the result [22:00] sun01tec1: no need to reboot [22:00] nano_: what are you scripting? [22:00] m-c: If you have that many people trying to break in, switch to public key, or install fail2ban ;) [22:00] daYZman-w: Check Synaptic Package Manager [22:00] nano_, yes, nohup means not to hangup when you close the terminal, & means run in the background [22:00] soup12, i want to be able to switch window manager with a script [22:00] ASULutzy: I had forgotten to stop SSH forwarding on my firewall [22:00] m-c, ok thanks [22:00] wolfeySI: can i put run that command from a file [22:00] to not hangup [22:00] joaopinto, thnx [22:01] sun01tec1: i guess, but it will still ask you for root password?! [22:01] :) [22:01] hey there [22:01] soup12, so i have commands such as "compiz --replace" or "metacity --replace"..but after the script is done executing...i don't want the windows managers to crash [22:01] !hi |starcannon_ [22:01] starcannon_: Hi!

[22:12] ariqs, I would help you with this one, but I did it a 1 hour ago with another user :P [22:13] spoon_man: I have 2 Device sections in my xorg.conf would this cause problems? [22:13] actually it is easier because you can build from the ubuntu package source :) [22:13] Blais1 Thank you for the clue [22:13] dependency hell is already managed on that case :) [22:13] Daree: I hope it helps you [22:13] hey, im trying to set a label to a device using e2label, but after it's set I can't find it under /dev/disk/by-label where the fstab is searching for it when using LABEL=....

[22:19] hi [22:19] R2LM, /usr/share/doc/gfxboot [22:19] R2LM: atleast, all it says is how to create a gfxboot.cfg [22:19] Blais1, and you removed the xserver-xgl package? [22:19] TimZ1m: easier would be to use ftp, linux as ftp server and vmware xp as ftp client [22:20] I don't have it, I'm pretty sure [22:20] stemount^: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/38d3fc9b-2817-4392-b647-d1ae014b5c78 does not exist ? but it's seen under fdisk -l ?

Where do I find the fix? [22:22] andycan: make ? [22:22] joaopinto: ICQ works fine here (on a Gentoo box) [22:22] Question: when installing vmware, I want to be able to tell dpkg to ask me the config questions instead of assuming it know best. Where (or what flag do I need) to change its default "configure verbosity?" [22:22] Anyone know a 'vrml' plugin for FireFox on Ubuntu.

[22:23] joaopinto: i just fcked up my 2 year gentoo installation so network didnt work and lost enthusiasm to recompile everything once more [22:23] :) === CeBe1 is now known as CeBe [22:23] but gentoo is great, after all compiling it is 10% faster than ubuntu:) [22:23] joaopinto: yes, I know. :) I just wanted to ask whether there is a more current kernel because my mother has problems with her fritz!wlan stick (kernel panic). [22:24] can anyone tell me why awn works for one user and not the other? [22:24] wolfeySI: yes, I agree [22:24] Blais1, you may want to consider reinstalling the drivers with EnvyNG, keeping in mind that this option isn't supported [22:24] I've heard the whole "compiling it yourself is faster" thing is total bs [22:24] ariqs: why? [22:24] spoon_man, Well I'm concerned to install so many different things on top of eacch other [22:24] ariqs: nope, if you compile for your CPU, which is not pentium II, gcc can use extra registers and stuff === Litx is now known as Elixer [22:25] joaopinto, witriew: Isn't there an easy way of using gfxboot with the gfx-ubuntu-theme? Maybe like adding something into my menu.lst? The gfxboot documentation in that /usr/share/doc directory talks about setting up a script. But if I have the ubuntu-theme, isn't that enough? [22:25] anybody here who runs compiz with custom effects on hardy?

[22:25] R2LM, no idea, never used gfxboot [22:25] I'm sending files to my laptop via bluetooth, but it keeps saying sending failed on my phone and bluetooth is turned on :/ what is wrong? [22:25] ariqs: if few % improvement is worth hours of compilation, is up to you:) [22:25] ariqs: okay [22:25] R2LM: you need to make -C theme/gfx-ubuntu-theme and copy the new bootlogo over, i think [22:26] R2LM: is this for isolinux or GRUB" [22:26] ? [22:26] I'll just try to downgrade. Hopefully the stick will work on 2.6.22 [22:26] Blais1, EnvyNG will remove your current driver setup and replace it with its own [22:26] do we have a dpkg expert on board at the moment? [22:26] hmm [22:26] spoon_man, how would you recommend installing it then? [22:27] hello [22:27] witriew: It's for Grub, and isn't the gfxboot-them-ubuntu package enough? Do I need to manually do a "make"? [22:27] ohi [22:27] Blais1: Envy really owns i use it too and it works 100% out of the box :) [22:27] anybody here who runs compiz with custom effects on hardy?

Anyone know how to mount a drive so that it mounts when I boot up? [22:29] StephenZ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [22:30] witriew: Whew... 61 pages worth? :) I guess I could go through that, but I would need to look through most of the pages to find what might have changed for Hardy, since the original tutorial was posted via 2006. [22:30] spoon_man, spanther, if I end up with a black screen I'll be very upset :( [22:30] would you please tell me how to fix wireless problems [22:30] R2LM: i doubt anything would have changed for Hardy [22:30] StephenZ: /etc/fstab [22:30] R2LM: the first post should help you about modifying what you need to [22:30] aboremaz, a little bit more specific please.... kinda like asking a mechanic to fix your car and that the metal thing is broken [22:31] HELLO [22:31] R2LM: mainly, grub and gfxboot haven't changed much since 2006 :) [22:31] Paddy_EIRE: I'm not sure how helpful this page is. Or, rather, I'm not sure how much I'm going to get out of it. I don't have the faintest idea what I'm doing. [22:31] spoon_man, Envy only has version 8.4 though, I want to use 8.6 [22:31] I NEED TO ASK YOU ABOUT MY PROBLM PLEAAAz === chaky_ is now known as chaky [22:31] StephanZ if you can read that page will do fine :) [22:32] Right. I'll give it a shot... Hopefully I won't hose anything. [22:32] aboremaz, you already got an answer [22:32] witriew: Fair enough, BTW have you used gfxboot? Did you follow that tutorial? [22:32] !ask | aboremaz [22:32] aboremaz: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [22:35] Ah. [22:35] That's fair, sorry. [22:35] How do I open fstab as root?

[22:37] hi, how can assign a firefox mouse button (thumb button). I searched and only found out of date stuff [22:37] Huh. This time it worked. [22:37] StephenZ, not just fstab tho, it has to be /etc/fstab [22:37] R2LM: you would need to configure isolinux to load grub, and then use grub to load isolinux [22:37] Yeah, I did that properly. [22:37] But apparently I missed a letter; this one worked. [22:37] R2LM: and that's far too convoluted since ubuntu/suse use isolinux+gfxboot without the grub [22:38] hola [22:38] hello [22:38] !es | mikonos [22:38] mikonos: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

I think somehow it got turned off. If you hit the windows key and the wireless f2 button it should go on but it doesn't. [22:47] I installed from .debs [22:47] Petskull, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod [22:47] ... but rythmbox now lists nothing in my ipod [22:47] hey guys i am back (though who remember me) [22:47] Petskull: Just open a terminal and type gtkpod [22:47] I still have the same problem though [22:47] quio: so the problem is solely with the light? I had a card that had lights that acted differently under linux - that is, the light being on/off displayed different things. e.g. it was one when receiving data, so it would flicker when in use rather than just be on when the card was activated. [22:47] in nautilus, I can see lots of mp3s in /media/IPOD/iPod_Control/Music [22:48] ... but I'm concerned that deleting them will mess up my iPod [22:48] shoot, I forgot to post on the forums my experiences getting stuff working great with my sansa fuze. :-? [22:48] I'm looking for a gcc-4.3 for Ubuntu hardy i386, seems that gcc-snapshot does it, but apt also want to install lot's of *amd64 packages, my auestion is why ? thanks [22:48] * regeya does that [22:48] Like now the light should be on but I don't know how to get it activated while in Ubuntu. I can't connect with the wireless either. When I switch Hard drives and boot from XP it comes on and works right away. [22:48] Petskull: Don't delete the files from there. Run gtkpod. it's got a great interface for managing your ipod. [22:48] Petskull, no it wont.. it will wipe it.. then on next power on the folders are recreated to defaults [22:49] Ah, so the card fails to work? Right, so the issue is probably not with the light per se. [22:49] hi [22:49] i installed ubuntu and i cant set my visual effects to the bottom selection from three [22:49] I got gtkpod [22:49] it says i need a restricted driver [22:49] it doesn't recognize my ipod [22:49] i have a Nvidia Ge force 7500le [22:49] ive installed ubuntu, it also sayd it installs grub, but no grub popps up at startup. ive installed it on the first HDD drive, so MBR should have been written correctly. [22:49] Petskull, if you have the new nano (a1236) then you will have a hard time with getting it to work [22:49] I think so. This happened once before and then all of a sudden it came back on while in Ubuntu. I don't know what I did. [22:49] Petskull: system>administration>restricted driver [22:49] uh oh [22:49] why doesnt it work? [22:50] I do have it [22:50] anyone know of an app that will open a notification in Xwindows on an ssh login [22:50] Petskull, well it will still recreate the folders [22:50] what do I do? [22:50] delte all the folders in /media/IPOD/iPod_Control/Music [22:50] ? [22:50] Petskull, it will just be nightmarish getting it to work on linux [22:50] i cant connect to the internet either cause it doesnt alow me to install my wireless modem [22:51] Petskull, I use windows 2000 in a vm for my ipods [22:51] can anyone help me....? [22:51] xczsacsz: ? is your hardware supported? [22:51] does anyone know, how can I check the GPU clock on a T60 Thinkpad with Ubuntu 8.04. [22:51] ive installed ubuntu, it also sayd it installs grub, but no grub popps up at startup. ive installed it on the first HDD drive, so MBR should have been written correctly. [22:51] I'm seeing an empty iPod on gtkpod [22:51] it picks up my graphics card as nvidia_new [22:51] but it doesnt show up [22:52] Petskull, it would be wise to erase those folders anyway to give you a fresh slate [22:52] Hi. Where can I find the list of packages installed on default Ubuntu installation? I'd like to compare it with my current installation. Thanks. [22:52] xczsacsz: i mean your wireless modem:) [22:53] Petskull, read the ipod nano part of this guide people have had much success with it http://lilserenity.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/virgin-mobile-praise-ubuntu-and-ipod-nano-3g/ [22:53] oh- I saw this [22:53] I'll delete it and pray [22:53] ive installed ubuntu a few mins ago, but on boot, grub doesnt show up, ive installed it on the primary hard drive @ sda3...what have i done wrong? [22:53] i have no idead wolfySI [22:53] anyone in here running zimbra zcs on 8.04? [22:54] xczsacsz: 'dmesg | less' and see what your kernel recognizes [22:54] or what is in /dev/eth0 /dev/eth1 ? [22:54] i dont know how to do that.. and i am not on ubuntu at the moment [22:54] would anybody mind putting their ubuntu /etc/profile on a pastebin? im trying to setup sudo in another distro [22:55] can i simply remove pulseaudoi its giving me problmes [22:55] i told you commands xczsacsz [22:55] does anyone know, how can I check the GPU clock on a T60 Thinkpad with Ubuntu 8.04. [22:55] I'm having a really hard time getting my centro to sync with evolution. [22:55] hustle look @ /proc [22:55] thanks 4 help [22:55] gaaaaah pulseaudio! [22:55] ok [22:55] DIE! [22:55] somewhere in /proc it may be [22:55] xczsacsz: another thing if you dont have option to use wireless in gnome network manager, it is probably cause it is listed as 'auto' in /etc/network/interfaces and Gnome Network Manager leaves that alone [22:55] xczsacsz: it's confusing thing :) [22:56] Hybrid666`: i found cpuinfo [22:56] but not somethink like gpuinfo [22:56] xczsacsz try ndisgtk and install an win driver for yor wireless [22:56] how on earth can I stop pulseaudio from getting in my way? [22:56] i need an ubuntu /etc/profile. someone please paste here http://codepad.org/ [22:56] yeah it is very confusing [22:56] i have already looked there [22:56] moo_cow: a moment [22:56] should I just upgrade to gutsy? [22:56] i myt aswel create the operating system haha [22:56] moo_cow: http://www.wolfey.si/tmp/profile mine [22:57] wobblywu-> thanks [22:57] moo_cow: /etc/profile [22:57] anyway.. is there a way to download updates for my graphics card off a website for ubuntu with out editing commands in ubuntu just by installing a software package with drivers in them [22:57] does ubuntu make every user have the same path??? [22:57] Hi all [22:57] moo_cow: in what sense? [22:57] Hybrid666`: Is it possible that I don't see s.th. because I have an onboard chip (Intel GMA....) [22:58] Can anyone tell me an easy way how to activate java in firefox? =( [22:58] xczsacsz, maybe you should stick with windows [22:58] gordonjcp-> if you add a new user to an ubuntu system. will it have the same path as the default user [22:58] Anyone know how to get the MTP plugin to work with Rhythmbox ??? [22:58] "restricted Drivers" [22:58] xczsacsz, or try envy [22:58] Or howto make firefox run java applications...? [22:58] moo_cow: yes, of course [22:58] hi there - anyone know if there is a program for ubuntu which will video me using my desktop to demonstrate something [22:58] is console-kit-daemon important in some way? It just segfaulted on my xubuntu server [22:59] tyberion: i need to be sure you are on i686 you can check x64/i686 run the command uname -a [22:59] !envy-ng | xczsacsz [22:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about envy-ng [22:59] gordonjcp-> not many distros do that [22:59] xczsacsz: the best way to update your graphics card drive is to open synaptic package manager and check for updates. [22:59] !envy | xczsacsz [22:59] Linux nutshell 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:43:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [22:59] xczsacsz: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [22:59] moo_cow: uhm, what? [22:59] give all users the same path [22:59] kbrosnan: im on i686 [22:59] moo_cow: pretty much all distros do that. Why would different users have different paths by default? [22:59] Hello. I got disconnected before. Does anyone know how to get Ubuntu to activate my wireless card. It was working the other day and then as I booted up the wirless light went off as soon as it boots. If I put an XP hard drive in the light comes on and the wireless works right away. I was using nm-applet 0.6.5? [22:59] If someone has an unmodified installation: aptitude search '.*' | grep '^i' [22:59] tyberion: 8.04? [22:59] kbrosnan: yep [22:59] hi there - anyone know if there is a program for ubuntu which will video me using my desktop to demonstrate something [23:00] gordonjcp-> cause not all distros have sudo setup like ubuntu by default, so commands that need root permissions are not in the path. [23:00] do you know where i could find a gcc-4.3 for ubuntu hardy x86 ? thanks [23:00] so i download envyng? [23:00] <_empemp_> i have a ubuntu machine with a printer conencted, works fine. trying to print to it from another ubuntu machine [23:00] moo_cow: hm, I'm not sure I understand [23:01] <_empemp_> all seems fint, but it won't let the jobs go through [23:01] xczsacsz, sudo apt-get install envy-gtk [23:01] <_empemp_> i worked before and is working fine on the printerside [23:01] gordonjcp-> ubuntu is different than just about distro by not having a root user by default [23:01] _empemp_: cups must permit connections from local machines i think [23:01] hi, using ubuntu 8.04, anyway to disable fast-user-switching? [23:01] <_empemp_> hmm [23:01] <_empemp_> how? [23:01] _empemp_: in cups config... [23:01] tyberion: make sure java-gcj-compat-plugin is not installed and install sun-java6-plugin and sun-java6 via synaptic [23:01] what is a sudo? [23:01] Anyone know how to get the MTP plugin to work with Rhythmbox ??? [23:01] moo_cow: yes [23:01] <_empemp_> i have checked that and made it to allow from the ip adress [23:02] gordonjcp-> so thats why the paths get set up differently [23:02] !botsnack [23:02] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [23:02] i'm trying to tunnel to my cups shared printer at my office. Here is the command i'm running, ssh -L 1234:localhost:631 joe@myoffice.com when i go add the printer it doesn't show up anywhere how can i figure out the device uri to tupe in cups? [23:02] _empemp_: you use IPP? [23:02] moo_cow: but since you're not supposed to log in as root, that's irrelevant [23:02] i only have one user that will ever be logged in at the desktop so there is no reason for me to have fast-user-switching running [23:02] can i just uninstall fast-user-switch-applet? [23:02] does anyone know, how can I check the GPU clock on a T60 Thinkpad (Intel GMA / onboard GPU) with Ubuntu 8.04. [23:03] hustle: have a look about in /proc [23:03] <_empemp_> samba i think? [23:03] <_empemp_> when i try "verify" i get not accesible [23:03] gordonjcp-> actually i think users have to be members of the admin group to perform sudo. therefor their PATHs would be different. [23:04] hi!does anybody knows how to make a tvtunner work in 7.04?i install tvtime for this but i have sound not image [23:04] gordonjcp: yeah, but i didn't find something [23:04] _empemp_: two cups machines can print on eachother by IPP, ipp://ip/printers/printername on client side [23:04] oh well [23:04] that's way more reliable than samba i think [23:04] <_empemp_> i try that [23:04] kbrosnan: Thanks alot, that worked=) [23:04] so whats is the best thing to do? remove ubuntu? cause i dont understand it at all [23:04] anyone familiar with disabling or uninstalling fast-user-switching in 8.04? === threethirty_away is now known as threethirty [23:05] xczsacsz: calm nerves :) i think nobody really understand linux at his first try:) [23:05] xczsacsz, spend more than five minutes trying to learn something or remove it [23:05] i have a directory with like 50 folders, 2 of them are write protected (I didnt do it) how do I fix that? [23:05] wow i'm a complete n00b with ubuntu, i just downloaded & installed last night.. it was easier than shitting. Absolutely loving the desktop environment. How the hell can an OS this amazing be free? [23:05] if i uninstall fast-user-switch-applet it breaks ubuntu-desktop [23:05] and why is winblows still mainstream compared to this ? [23:05] xczsacsz: use what you know for now for real work, play with ubuntu in free time [23:05] Hello all. Is there a people, who use Konversation and mpd? :) [23:05] greenfishx3: rightclick on them in nautilus or use the chmod command [23:05] greenfishx3, chmod 755 on those folders ? [23:05] hallo leute ich brauch ma hilfe von nem ubuntu 8.04 prfi [23:05] my tvtime i think that has a bug [23:05] well i didnt understand windows either on first use:) [23:05] How can I get the Configure button in System->Administration->Network Tools to work?

Is there a way to scan that NTFS drive for windows problems through linux? [23:08] no dude i am not hateing ubuntu i am willing to learn but it is way more advanced and confusing wen u have problems to fix thats all [23:08] jameslavoy, to scan yes, to clean them, no [23:08] xczsacsz, if you are just in it for the eye-candy then it is probably not for you [23:08] to scan you can use clamav [23:08] jameslavoy: clamav works well [23:08] hacksilber, oh, that is a problem :P [23:08] xczsacsz, you wanted to remove it a minute ago [23:08] jameslavoy: there is a virus scanner if problem=virus === m_newton_ is now known as m_newton [23:08] xczsacsz: what is it you're trying to do?

[23:57] onthefence928, right your UUID will be different [23:57] onthefence928, no, sudo blkid will show the right one [23:57] Please Help. When I was copying home video's to a cd/dvd window, I accidnetly hit cut instead of copy and the folders in the cd/dvd window seem to be empty, now it seems our videos are lost can anybody please help me recover them. we left the computer on and haven't touched it since just in case we can recover them from memory. [23:57] alon_m: Oh, wait. No, I just want a card with good support for ubuntu. I'm open to anything. === HZ is now known as HybridZero [23:57] DJAdmiral pretty much any nvidia has good ubuntu support [23:58] is there a utility that can deduplicate emails? [23:58] DJAdmiral, pci, pci express or AGP [23:58] joebob777as7, alon_m: What about ATI? [23:58] what's wrong with this command?; at now + 10 minutes bash ~/script.bash [23:58] nickrud_, i musta missed that one - can't hurt to verify that he's done that tho [23:58] DJAdmiral, anything more than a year and a half old, less than 3 :) [23:58] DJAdmiral, which port do you have [23:58] onthefence928, have you run mkswap on the partition you have dedicated for swap there? [23:58] nickrud_-> zelrikriando my friends going to be in here shortly so ill let you 2 talk to him. [23:58] hi folks, just installed ardour, trying to get it to work... i am now probably running pulseaudio which is the default on ubuntu hardy as i understand it [23:58] DJAdmiral i'd say it's hit and miss. haven't used for a while but I hear they're doing better driver wise now [23:58] alon_m: AGP. [23:59] unop: no [23:59] unop: what does it do? [23:59] joebob777as7: I guess I'll go for an nvidia card then. [23:59] chris_: it shouldn't have moved the files unless there was somewhere to move them to, what happened to the copy in the "cd/dvd window"? [23:59] onthefence928, it setups the partition with a swap area ready to be used [23:59] unop, that's the sign of someone who's been here too long (or long enough) answers the question behind the question that didn't get asked ;) [23:59] Does openGL run natively on Linux if you have an nvidia geforce card?
