[00:00] Kaldor: yes [00:00] unop: the partition is alreayd designated for swap last i checked [00:00] great [00:00] alon_m any other ideas? [00:00] nickrud_, just saving us time and frustration :) [00:00] natt after hitting cut we hit paste so it pasted empty folders into the cd/dvd window [00:00] we were trying to burn them [00:00] I can finally play quake 3 without dual boot :D [00:00] joebob777as7, about what ? [00:00] onthefence928, ohh well, i guess you don't need mkswap then -- but it can't hurt to run it again to make sure tho [00:00] onthefence928, sudo fdisk -l will tell you for sure [00:01] alon_m the printers. using the lpstat -t -h localhost:1234 I get this output: system default destination: MFC-8640D_BR-Script3 / device for MFC-8640D_BR-Script3: smb:///192.168.0.13/brother [00:01] anyone know how I can configure gdm to use metacity instead of compviz in hardy? I get strange graphical redraw issues with compviz often [00:01] DJAdmiral, heres my card ATI Radeon 9550 [00:01] alon_m I tried this: Device URI: http://localhost:631/MFC-8640D_BR-Script3 and got this: Brother "/usr/lib/cups/backend/http failed" [00:01] Dmole: you have to put the commands in on stdin. at now + 10 minutes < echo foo.bash or omething maybe [00:01] chris_: weird, so this was like a double problem, (1) you should've selected "copy" but (2) the folders were empty after the move [00:01] !chmod [00:01] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [00:01] Ijust installed Vbox but can not find how can I start it? [00:01] joebob777as7: I think the best idea is to lower your res to 1024x768, turn off compiz, and then try to run a game in opengl and configure the game's bottle to optimum level [00:02] Kaldor: just because a game uses opengl doesn't _necessarily_ mean it has a linux version...in the case of quake III arena there is a linux version, though. [00:02] natt_: to complicate things they were stored on another harddrive that is formatted in a windows file format. I think fat32... [00:02] vasily, you need to give your user permission [00:02] natt yes to both. [00:02] how do i get chmod [00:02] DJAdmiral i just turn off compiz and run them at 1600x1200 and they work [00:02] Dmole: cho foo.bash | at now + 10 minutes [00:02] vasily, should be in apps, system tools [00:02] For some reason my firefox seems to crash and then i can never open it again until i restart... also at the same time gedit doesn´t work until i restart [00:02] Dmole: echo foo.bash | at now + 10 minutes [00:02] nickrud_: it says it's of type Linux swap / Solaris [00:02] chris_: i think it's actually pretty easy to recover files from FAT partitions, but I'm no expert === ryanh is now known as HexaneX [00:03] chris_: google knows everything of course [00:03] onthefence928, now run sudo mkswap /dev/ , to be sure it's prepped [00:03] linxeh: thanks linxeh> :) [00:03] billenium: just these two?

[00:06] kris19, so tell me what is happening exactly [00:06] chris_: i think "undelete" is a standard term for this kind of thing, especially in FAT the main difference between a regular file and a "deleted" one is the OS sticks a marker on the file name, it's an unusually trivial change [00:06] anyone experience with using sbuild?

I've recently installed virtualbox in Intrepid (just for testing purposes obviously) and I want to use the .VDI's from my Hardy install in Intrepid. The hardy partition is /dev/sda5, from within Intrepid I did sudo mkdir /media/hardy && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/hardy. Then I tell Virtualbox that the path of my disks is /media/hardy/home/$USER/.VirtualBox/VDI/... Only problem is when I do that it blue screens immedia [00:11] is there an easyier way than chmod to change the permissions of a foldeR? [00:11] vasily, how are you going? === HexaneX is now known as Hexane [00:11] joebob777as7, also does cups show anything in the que? [00:11] natt have you ever heard of testdisk from cgsecurity.

[00:12] chris_: i just tested the operation you describe, and i didn't get the same result, so i'm not sure that's exactly what happened [00:12] <__yy> scifiguy951: easier way to chmod than to chmod? [00:12] alon_m it is. lol now when I go to localhost:631 it doesn't work I go to localhost:1234 and it's cups at my work I just don't know how to share it now [00:12] yea [00:12] yo ASUL_Utzy1: Maybe you can tell me what in the world this thing is in the bottom of my right screen, virri? http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/8653/screenshotar3.png [00:12] it configures under windows fine and it is configured through vga [00:12] onthefence928, you should be using the one you got for the swap partition, you quoted it above and that is not the same one [00:13] kris19, please answer me :) [00:13] Paddy - I am reading about groupadd command. Do I need to use any options in this command? [00:13] <__yy> scifiguy951: what's wrong with chmod? [00:13] linxeh: that puts something in the queue but executes the command "now" not "now + 3 minutes" [00:13] chris_: no, sorry, like i said i'm not a disk-recovery expert, it just sounded like an interesting problem [00:13] when i am in proporties/permissions it says "you are not the owner so you cant change these permissions" [00:13] oh i thought the one you told me to type was the same one i had [00:13] it is conected through vga [00:13] cable [00:13] [Q] How can I change, in terminal, any file in a folder not ending in .txt, end in .txt? [00:13] zelrikriando-> he's not using a laptop [00:13] joebob777as7, cant you add a printer locally and point it to that port [00:13] i dont know how to use it, to change the permissions [00:13] ??? [00:13] ok [00:13] please help [00:13] Dmole, remove the space between + and 3 [00:13] <__yy> scifiguy951: well then you need to chown the file before you can chmod it [00:14] joebob777as7, also man page says -L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport [00:14] chown? [00:14] <__yy> scifiguy951: sudo chown yourusername:youusername filename [00:14] nickrud_ i thought the one you told me was the swap drive i had [00:14] joebob777as7, [00:14] zelrikriando, it is conected through vga [00:14] natt well if you hang in here for a few more minutes I might have accomplished the solution. I'm not an expert either but not a total noob, as a practice I always check here first for help before I strike out on my own, solving a problem.

[00:14] how do i not own the file? [00:14] its a celestia file [00:14] onthefence928, no, that was my swap uuid. A uuid is a unique identifier, and there is supposed to be no chance than any other device will have the same.

[00:20] anyone here have any familiarity with thunar file manager [00:20] spyware?...

[00:20] unop, I have many of them [00:20] Can I install this on my Ubuntu CHristian distro [00:20] Nick__ [00:20] -_- ..... [00:20] i want to test which ubuntu is better [00:20] the christian one [00:20] solexious, this needs to done everytime you open up a bash shell session [00:20] or the satanic [00:20] which is better [00:21] lol [00:21] ubuntu christian edition? [00:21] Fujisan: They're both equally fail sounding [00:21] unpo, thank you [00:21] the Ubuntu normal one, the Ubuntu CE has been discontinued, otherwise I'd get it [00:21] http://ubuntusatanic.org/ <--- thats the site [00:21] solexious, if you want it to be set automatically -- edit the ~/.bashrc [00:21] is there a way to be able to still charge an iPod via USB w/ ubuntu ? [00:21] so satanists love ubuntu [00:21] O_o [00:21] i reckon [00:21] its no joke [00:21] Gaming4JC: looks like you went to lyad.com and used their messenger app? [00:21] <__yy> rand0m: you mean apart from plugging it in? [00:21] Fujisan: Everyone loves ubuntu [00:21] rand0m, yes, just plug the ipod in :) [00:22] i did plug it in.. its not charging [00:22] You know I know linux is suppost to be better,faster,stronger [00:22] hey guys [00:22] quick question [00:22] but even with ubuntu it is definately NOT for the computer novice [00:22] I thougt that something was wrong with open source when Ubuntu Christian Edition apeared, but now this project can fix it and add some flames to the desktops =) [00:22] how do i have my wireless card connect without ANY user intervention [00:22] Fujisan - never underestimate the power of the dark side [00:22] e.g. without network manager [00:23] Shaba1: and why do you think its "not for a novice"? [00:23] rand0m, hmm, have you tried plugging it in a different USB port? [00:23] or without even logging in [00:23] Magnetron, I guess I do something wrong: I just installed Vbox and I am trying to start it. I can not find an icon for it to click [00:23] unop, lol, didnt mean to hit enter when i was in my home folder [00:23] i'd like to have this wireless-ly connected computer to be used as a printer server [00:23] trying to modify xorg. conf , so far every time I edit xorg .conf and restart x, the sytem default to failsafe and I have to use dpkg phigh, so in effect I can edit xorg conf any ideas? [00:23] solexious, ouch ouch [00:23] <__yy> rand0m: have you checked the cable? the usb port? the ipod itself? ... there's nothing at all that should stop you from charging an ipod [00:23] unop, may be KDM use another file? [00:24] anyone? [00:24] solexious, that command should have spit out a list -- you could use that list to revert changes [00:24] vasily, aer you using the virtualbox from their homepage? that's proprietary and i cannot provide any support for it. good luck [00:24] I’m afraid the open source movement won’t be fixed because of this. It probably just got itself into more trouble. They aren’t Satanists but communists using Satan’s name to get attention. It would be better not to have anything to do with them. May Satan bless you. [00:24] How do I revoke a lost PGP key? [00:24] feistel, maybe -- i don't use KDE tho and am not very familiar with it -- maybe you should ask in #kubuntu [00:24] i got a quick question, im a n00b to ubuntu, and i jsut downloaded Virtual Machine, is there a way to use a windows partition instead of having to install windows all over again? [00:25] unop, it has, going to rename them manualy, then try to make a command to undo it in a folder other tham /home [00:25] magnetron, do you know how to make USB mic work? [00:25] justinram: There is a way to do it. I found the instructions on Google, but it doesn't work with Vista... [00:25] justinram - you can install ubuntu like a windows program, use 'WUBI' [00:25] Somebody help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5301467#post5301467 Popups on Ubuntu :( [00:25] kris19, can you give me the output of : dmesg | grep saa7133 [00:25] trevor: find the revocation cert you generated initially and use that - if you don't have one, you're stuck :S [00:25] i have XP [00:25] where is the channel for ubuntu satan edition? [00:25] DeadKennedy2880 [00:25] can anyone hear me? [00:25] mgrant: damn? [00:26] or am i being silenced?

[00:26] can i have my desktop automatically connect to a network without network-manager or even logging in? [00:26] trevor: otherwise anyone could revoke any PGP key, which would be bad :S [00:26] wireless network [00:26] Justinram google can help you out... [00:26] i'm sure there is [00:27] Fujisan; all that is .. is a theme in ubuntu. how gullible do you have to be do believe this. so my theme is OSX .. should i release a UbuntuOSX edition? [00:27] Fujisan, been away for a bit; don't know where the channel's are for those subdistros, but this one is ubuntu-specific [00:27] Need help with xorg,trying to modify xorg. conf , so far every time I edit xorg .conf and restart x, the sytem default to failsafe and I have to use dpkg phigh, so in effect I can edit xorg conf any ideas? [00:27] mgrant: I understand the mechanics of it, at least in a basic sense... I was just wondering how I could remove my busted key from the works. Since I don't have anyone else to sign it, or the old one for that matter of fact, could I just make a new one? [00:27] wubrgamer: maybe try a static configuration? [00:27] bastid_raZor i used to use ubuntu muslim edition and before that the christian edition so to be even more evil i can switch to the ubuntu satan edition now xD [00:28] Fujisan, would please cease with the trollling? [00:28] <__yy> bella: if editing xorg.conf makes X not start then you're editing it wrong ... try looking at the xorg logs to see if it tells you why [00:28] and they say MS is evil D: [00:28] Fujisan; your humor does not amuse me. [00:28] wubrgamer: /etc/network/interfaces is the debian way. the wifi-radar sortware should do too. [00:28] Fujisan - your a nut - rock on ;) [00:28] Anybody knows if there is a way to make Kaffiene run 16:10 aspect ratio ? [00:28] trevor: if you have the original private key still, you can revoke it - though you only need to do that if you're worried someone else has it or you want to be sure no-one else uses it [00:28] mgrant: how do i do a static configuration? [00:28] trevor: otherwise just make a new one (and generate the revocation cert!) [00:28] solexious, if you copy that list and put it in a file named file_list in the home directory - this ought to work. for i in $(cut -d " " -f 1 file_list | tr -d "\`" | tr -d "'"); do mv -vi $i.txt "$i"; done [00:29] The satanic version of linux? Isn't that SUSE? [00:29] * nickrud goes off to check for his revoke cert cd [00:29] Fujisan; the actually fun thing is. you wasted the time to install each when it is only a theme change.

[00:34] pentium 3 [00:34] Fujisan Dont be rude even in pm [00:34] trevor: you're supposed to generate them at the time you make the new key, and store them in a safe place in case you ever need to use them [00:34] do* [00:34] fujisan: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:34] __yy- that's weird... all of them equal up to maybe 10%, but system monitor shows me a lot more than that. [00:35] is there any hardware specification for installing ubuntu 8.04LTS server ? [00:35] hey room [00:35] <[T]an1> i am using mplayer and totem to play a dvd movie, however i cannot use the menus... it does not let me get to them. is there something else out there that will work better for what I need? [00:35] trevor: without the private key there is no way of making a revocation certificate afaik.. [00:35] does anyone know if there is a way to make curl use a network proxy by default rather than having to specify each time? [00:35] <__yy> evilbug: I'd tust top over system monitor any day [00:35] [T]an1, try vlc [00:35] <[T]an1> i tried dvdnav with mplayer, but it did not let me mouse select anything on the menu [00:35] <[T]an1> downloading vlc... thanks [00:35] Jack_Sparrow: The first virus on Ubuntu, invented by adamx (just a guess since I got port scans from his server), and infected with lyad.com (which I've never heard of) or something: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5301467#post5301467 [00:35] __yy- thanks [00:35] scudwork: export PROXY= I think most software will obey that [00:36] Ubuntu is a popular Linux distribution, designed with the intent of overthrowing Microsoft Windows as the world’s most widely-used operating system.

Discussion on Windows related topics is available in ##windows.

[00:42] zcat[1]: i'm using the environment variables correctly, that's really why i'm confused about it not working [00:42] Anyone setup raid 5 on ICH9R? [00:42] why use emule on vine? [00:42] i have a new external drive and want to format it in such a way that i can read/write to it with linux and read using windows. what is the best format? [00:42] RH, server is CLI [00:42] You found a virus that wine will run? That's cool! Wine is getting really compatable with windows now!

[00:44] hi all where are the screensaver images stored [00:44] i was thinking about formatting in fat32 (which allows read/write for both linux and windows) but i read that it fragments a lot, what other options are there? [00:44] done [00:44] Hello all. [00:44] done [00:44] monkey_, ntfs [00:44] scudwork: weird.. open a shell in gnome terminal and see what it might have set for the environment that curl is seeing? [00:44] <__yy> monkey_: linux can do ntfs read/write [00:45] __yy, really? that is amazing! [00:45] trashguy i understand but.. i have just started to enter the linux world.. really don't know much about it .. [00:45] but you do need to find a copy of that driver i think whether it be online or on disc.. its an .inf file i think [00:45] <__yy> monkey_: indeed it is [00:45] !ntfs-3g [00:45] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [00:45] anyone? ClamAV? [00:45] trashguy any useful links to study more about it primiarily ? [00:45] monkey_, you could do ext or reiserfs -- but that means installing the appropriate drivers on windows - which is not ideal [00:45] right i tried using a driver but everyone i tried did not work [00:46] RH, the forums are good, if you work form the command line you will learn a lot more then clicking stuff [00:46] __yy, are there any drawbacks (functionally) to using ntfs? [00:46] isn't ntfs3g installed by default? that thingy is misleadin? [00:46] what did you do that the driver didnt work? [00:46] zcat[1]: apparently the port needs to specified in the environment variable otherwise curl doesn't know what to do [00:46] zcat[1]: thanks for your help :D [00:47] <__yy> monkey_: umm, not sure what you mean [00:47] zcat[1], it is on recent versions of ubuntu -- but i guess that wiki entry applies to people who still run edgy and earlier [00:47] scudwork: well, yes... only some software assumes 3128 .. [00:47] Abyone mess with JeOS? [00:48] i found some material so let me try that [00:49] cbassett. do you want my assistance or not? [00:49] anyone configure sendmail before?

[00:54] monkey_, perhaps one thing ntfs-3g doesn't really support is setting the right file permissions - it defaults to allowing absolutely everyone access to an object - but i guess that doesn't really matter since you intended on using FAT anyway (something it doesn't support either) [00:54] i have some trouble with my fresh install with apt-get build-dep gnome-session. apt says it couldn't satisfy dependencies what should i do ? [00:54] Is it possible to force video output through svideo on an nvidia card? [00:55] ntfs's idea of permissions is completely alien to Linux.. and I expect not well documented either.. [00:56] Why when Totem Player in opened, There's no sound in firefox, and when Skype is opened, there's no sound in Totem, nor firefox... there's only one app that has the right to the sound... [00:57] zcat[1], well the older ntfs driver (not ntfs-3g) understands ntfs permissions and will report them right -- just not the fuseblk/ntfs-3g one - i guess if the guys from ntfs-3g really wanted, they could support permissions and properly - but no one's complaining so far, and thats a good thing [00:57] narfee - ive noticed that also, good question [00:57] :) [00:59] unop: Most of the time I only need to read anyhow, to recover someone's documents after XP has shit itself and won't boot.. I don't have anything dual-boot at home so no other reason I ever need to deal with ntfs. [00:59] hi do you know how could i desactivate fsck in ubuntu feisty fawn? because is annoying that each time my system hangs and reboot i have to wait like 30 minutes before i could use my computer... [00:59] !fsck [00:59] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [00:59] cocox_: with ext3 it should need to do an fsck every time.. [00:59] err shouldn't [00:59] zcat[1] there is no way ? [00:59] nobody knows ????????? [01:00] cocox_, tune2fs ought to help -- see its manpage [01:00] cocox_: if it needs to do an fsck, there's probably good reason for it and you shouldn't force it not to [01:00] is there a way to find out what my primary/secondary DNS numbers are? Ifconfig doesnt tell me which they are [01:00] zcat[1] but believe me it sucks... i need to go to a meeting and i have to wait 30 minutes [01:00] CorbinFox: /etc/resolv.conf [01:01] if you have it configured [01:01] CorbinFox look at /etc/resol.conf [01:01] Im having trouble using multiple apps - if both need sound, sometimes one wont get it, is there a workaround? [01:01] not letting fsck run when needed is the quick way to get a windows 'emulator' [01:01] any idea how to fix this ? [01:01] cocox_: tune2fs will let you do the schedules 20-mount, 30-days checks less often. If it's doing an fsck every time you reboot or even after every crash, there is something seriously screwed up with your install [01:02] zcat[1] agreed [01:02] CorbinFox, cat /etc/resolv.conf in cli [01:02] zcat[1], unop ok thank you guys ... i will read about this.. [01:03] does anyone know of any applications in Ubuntu that can read a chm file? [01:03] i just opened up resolv.conf in gedit but it only lists my ip address and not my DNS? or am i being stupid? [01:03] unr3a1: xchm [01:03] unr3a1, gnochm [01:03] wolfeySI, can I get that through apt-get? [01:03] cocox_: also if you upgrade to gutsy, the scheduled checks are much nicer (they appear under the GUI splash screen) and you have the option of postponing them until the next reboot, handy if you need the machine up right away. [01:03] unr3a1, yes to both [01:03] sweet [01:03] ty [01:03] unr3a1: yes, perhaps also what unop said [01:03] zcat[1] yeah that is what i need [01:03] DeadKennedy2880:: I wish someone would listen [01:03] :P [01:03] ty [01:04] howdo i setup a system proxy in xubuntu 8.04? [01:04] zcat[1] but actually i have gutsy gibbon [01:04] zcat[1] and fsck runs in a terminal... [01:04] to both of you.. ty [01:04] narnee - they hear, sometimes the answer isint known, ill try another day tho [01:04] unr3a1: btw [01:04] cocox_: well, not sure what's going on there; upgrade or fresh install? [01:04] unr3a1: apt-cache search program [01:04] CorbinFox, it could be that your own machine is a DNS server [01:04] unr3a1: you can see yourself:) [01:04] wolfeySI, ok [01:04] Narfee, i am 'listening' but since i am deaf i dont know much about troubleshooting sound problems ;') [01:04] zcat[1] upgrade [01:04] wolfeySI, thanks. :) [01:05] CorbinFox, in any case - you can adjust those values to set new primary and secondary DNS servers [01:05] cocox_: hmmm.. might be an idea to back up /home and do a fresh install.. all of my upgrades have never worked that well. [01:05] what i am trying to do is configure my DS to run on my router XD [01:05] zcat[1] allrigth thank you !

(it does get hot in my room) [01:08] unr3a1: but if you print anything as postscript to file ps2pdf works too :) [01:08] no i just held down backspace to delete the url in firefox and it restarted the xserver [01:08] award bios: do i want to enable plus & play O/S? (running ubuntu hardY) [01:09] arooni-mobile, yes, yes [01:09] arooni-mobile - yes on both [01:09] this is the second time this has happened too.....once a couple of months ago before i switched to windows then it happened again now that i'm back [01:09] dolags32128, two things could be wrong -- one, your ctrl+alt keys might be stuck down (faulty keyboard) -- two, firefox is somehow crashing so bad it causes X to quit ? so question, does the backspace problem manifest itself in other applications other than firefox? [01:10] can anyone recommend a nice RSS reader for gnome? [01:10] That was odd ... was switching between programs and started getting some awful squealing/screeching through the speakers and couldn't mute it. [01:10] award bios: i have a pci express grahpics card: do i want primary display adapter to be pci express ? or pci? [01:10] yes it does....i was going to delete something i typed in pidgin and same thing happened [01:10] sharperguy, i think evolution does rss [01:10] FelixTheCat: that was the shreeking eels. They make that noise just before they attack. [01:10] what's the code that will give me timed shutdown? :) [01:11] wers - man shutdown [01:11] mindrape: I do not think that means what you think it means. :) [01:11] lol. [01:11] DeadKennedy2880, sloopy what do those options actually do? [01:11] folks, do I need to have a /home separate from the / partition [01:12] LOVE that movie - as close to a chick flick as I'll admit. [01:12] sloopy, oh hmm ill check that out [01:12] dolags32128, hmm, not sure i know what could be causing this - all i can suggest is you upgrade to the latest version of xorg to hopefully rectify the problem [01:12] arooni-mobile, the internal thermal thing makes the cpu shutdown when it hits the critical temp [01:12] djzn: It helps when you upgrade to have a separate /home partition. [01:12] djzn, it's not necessary -- but recommended [01:12] sorry to repeat, but: my server is experiencing a serious slashdot effect (very slow) but the processor/memory are under 30% used. can someone help me with optimizing things? [01:12] howdy [01:13] !info sqlite3 [01:13] sqlite3 (source: sqlite3): A command line interface for SQLite 3. In component main, is optional. Version 3.4.2-2 (hardy), package size 19 kB, installed size 84 kB [01:13] tand plug and play lets the OS control the config of hardware resources [01:13] sloopy, what about plug& play? [01:13] when I log to my router in my installed ubuntu I cant see the middle page of the setup, keeps saying connecting etc. I tried opera same thing flushed my iptables same thing when I use a livecd it works fine removed my .mozilla and purged firefox and reinstalled again http://dump.no/files/29dedf8dac8b/Screenshot.png [01:13] how do i run chkdsk [01:13] buffalochicken, sudo fsck --help remember to run it from an UNMOUNTED drive ie use a livecd [01:13] buffalochicken, linux has no chkdsk -- it has a fsck tho [01:14] but when I upgrade... can I simply delete all folders and leave the /home undeleted in the ext3 fs... and then install ubuntu on the same partition, this would be the same as not deleting home (of course i dont let the installer format the partition) [01:14] i think it just got updated lol i know this is sounding more and more complex....lol [01:14] is there defragging? [01:14] because I don`t like the idea of the drive being forced to seek ahead [01:14] buffalochicken, no. [01:14] buffalochicken, linux needs no defrag tool [01:14] partitioning schemes forces the drive heads read further [01:14] I recently installed VMwareServer Beta 2.0. I have a vm webserver server running (guest), and I am unable to access it. My network interface is in BRIDGE mode, and my VM server is able to get a DHCP address, but I can't access it. any ideas? [01:15] I have the unbuntu firewall disabled [01:15] anyway if anyone read my request, I'd be happy if there was an answer, I will repeat in a bit. [01:15] djzn, the counter-argument is that a seperate partition helps improve performance as there is a lower latency in seek times [01:16] unop: how does that work? [01:16] going to try a different version of the frglx and see if that rectifies the situation [01:16] unop: i have 160GB, can do you recommend 20GB for / partition and swap in the end of the drive? [01:16] unop: I can understand that if it was /home on a different physical disk.. [01:16] harddisk, i dunno i use a machine running xubuntu as my router [01:17] it's a weird incident [01:17] and I can't even view imageshack.us for example [01:17] zcat[1], not sure about the technical details of it - i remember reading it on some tutorial on maintaining disk efficiency [01:17] zcat[1]: it improves seek times due to the way the head reads data from the platter. on a seperate partition the head can move directly to the swap area without having to find it on the main filesystem [01:17] all my network settings are back to default, very strange [01:17] I want to run Ubuntu on my Mac... is there a good tutorial? [01:17] HardDisk: kernel upgrade> [01:17] ? [01:18] that is possible IndyGunFreak [01:18] 2.6.24-19-generic [01:18] orphean: that's only for swap though... [01:18] HardDisk: i had to recompile my atheros driver the other day, due to a kernel upgrade. [01:18] zcat[1]: unless you need really high preformance for some reason its not a huge deal. [01:18] i expect to get images from a camera one at a time, about 3 per second. i'd like to turn that into a video stream. how do i do that? [01:18] cronin: is that a powerPC or intel mac? [01:18] djzn; that is agood idea. [01:18] FelixTheCat: a powerpc [01:18] zcat: don`t you agree that partitioning the drive raises the seek time between partitions and fragments the available space, going unnefficient? [01:18] IndyGunFreak, my network card is standard, weird phenomenon. I will try a lesser kernel, maybe that is the issue. === zven is now known as sugrob [01:18] good thinking :) [01:18] orphean, i'm not sure that explains it right tho -- the disk seek should be the same that way, partitioned or not -- as the file system table should maintain a pointer/index to where a file can be found === administ1ator is now known as evil_tech [01:18] zcat[1]: well its any file. since it breaks the disk up into chunks, and ext3 knows what chunk a file is on the head can move to the right area without seeking as much [01:19] i have found how to make a sequence of images into a movie using mencoder and ffmpeg, but that requires having a bunch of files already. i'd like to append the jpgs to a video stream as they come in from the camera [01:19] is that possible? and how? [01:19] How i can send /dev/urandom or simething else to tcp socket? [01:19] unop: it doesn't eliminate seek, it reduces it [01:19] anyone install VMware Server 1.06? I have a question I can't find an answer to [01:19] or where should i look? my google foo fails me [01:19] IndyGunFreak, bbl :) good idea [01:20] bastid_raZor: what idea was good? deleting the folders and leaving /home? [01:20] evil_tech; #vmware is a good place to look too, if help isn't found here. [01:20] sugrob-> try netcat to send it out..i dont know how to do it on top of my head [01:20] bastid_raZor:i'll try there thanks [01:20] djzn: I would think so, but only slightly. There are advantages to having /home on it's own partition though.. easier to reinstall if you need to; and if you run out of space on /home you just run out of space.. if you do the same on / things can get horribly broken [01:20] when i type echo -e "\x31\x33\x33\x32\x62"; it gives me the ascii is there anyway to convert it from ascii to hex ? [01:20] djzn; making that partition table .. 20GB for / and /swap at the end. i'm unsure how well your leaving /home idea will work. [01:20] how can i tell if ubuntu sees my floppy disk ? nautilus doesn't list it in "Computer" though i do have an existing /media/floppy0 [01:20] cronin: I'm looking... [01:21] FelixTheCat: thanks! [01:21] amenado, thanks I'll try [01:21] Hi. How do I set COPYDIR variable in the shell? [01:21] avis: put a floppy in it :) if you have /media/floppy0 ubuntu picked it up [01:21] happens when i hold down the backspace for more than half a second [01:21] yes, for example.... i boot the liveCD, then I access the ext3 drive... and delete everything BUT NOT /home... and when choosing the partitions, I choose not to format them... it would be quite the same right? [01:22] indio, COPYDIR=data should work [01:22] Hi all - I am having problems with my ubuntu box crashing and rebooting by itself on a random basis. I run the proprietary nvidia drivers, and when I turn them off I see the crashes disappear. But, I installed the new 173 driver and now I can;t get the nvidia drivers to work at all. I even tried reverting and it still doesnt work. any ideaS? [01:22] Thanks sloopy [01:22] djzn: I think that will work, but I wouldn't risk it with my data ;) [01:22] djzn; is /home on a partition by itself already? it sounds risky anyway you go with that idea [01:22] zcat: in terms of file placement, there could be a possibility of system files not being in the beginning of the disk right? [01:22] cronin: not sure if you have this yet, but here is the link to get the ppc version (among others): http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04/release/ [01:23] * FelixTheCat is still looking [01:23] risky for a dumb right..LOL... not me who knows WHAT to delete? [01:23] FelixTheCat: thanks i'll take a look [01:23] djzn; theoretically that will work though. [01:23] djzn: the other thing you can do is resize the partition and make a new one for /, then move /home/* to / on that partition and after installing to the new /, mount the old partition as /home [01:23] guys... with broken updates all the time, how can you ever think, that would attract people towards linux and away from win? [01:23] djzn, i would suggest you backup /home and repartition with a seperate /home [01:23] I'm having a problem with iptables. when I try to restore my iptables from a saved rules file I get Bad argument 'logdrop'. Here's some verbose and the rules file I'm trying to use... http://pastebin.com/d1074c30e [01:23] my xserver keeps restarting if i hold down just backspace for more than half a second [01:24] this one is major: my terminal won't start from within ubuntu lol [01:24] the thing is, I dont want to partition... i don`t want to have a `gap` between system and data files... the seek time will grow [01:24] and the possibility of ubuntu installation grow over 20GB, i will be lost! [01:24] djzn: the safest thing to do is tar.gz /home onto a USB drive, then reinstall, then restore the backup.. [01:24] yedda1 Offtopic, but you are causing your own problems by going outside our repos [01:25] hi guys [01:25] djzn; on a 160G drive you have little worries of seek time. [01:25] im an ubuntu noob i need help [01:25] hexoroid, perl -le 'print map { sprintf "%X", ord $_} split //, shift' $(echo -e "\x31\x33\x33\x32\x62") [01:25] djzn zcat[1]'s idea is best.. tar it to a flash drive then copy it back. [01:25] bastid_razor: I know, but what if the system partition grows smaller... like compiling stuff.... grows over 20GB.... [01:26] bastid_razor: my home will be like 40GB of data [01:26] and not a usb stick LOL [01:26] djzn; sadly i have only a 10G / and a 290G /home and 2G /swap .. i do not have seek issues. [01:26] djzn External drive or whatever backup medium suits your needs [01:26] djzn: USB -drive- ; they start at about 160G for a small one... [01:27] ok so I should really have a home separate, no matter what [01:27] djzn, personally i think that unless you are using a really old drive where the seek time is relatively slow - it shouldn't make much of a difference in terms of measurable performance whether or not you partition your disk [01:27] i agree [01:27] my concern is not much seek time [01:27] djzn yes. sep home is the best choice [01:27] hi guys i need help [01:28] djzn, the advantages of having a seperate home partition outweight the negative side effects of having one [01:28] djzn, do 'du -h --max-depth=1' in /home and it will tell you how big your folder is [01:28] Silverzrishi: just ask your question. [01:28] my concern is not making the use of the drive efficient, like going out of space in root partition and tons of space in home still left [01:28] ? [01:28] djzn: 20G will be HEAPS for / anyhow.. even after you install a bunch of stuff.. [01:28] 20 GB will it be enough for ANYTHING [01:28] i mean, KDE compiles, stuff like that [01:28] my 10G / is nearing full.. but i do have heaps of apps installed [01:29] djzn: you ought to be compiling stuff in /home anyhow... you don't build as root do you? [01:29] cronin: Most of the stuff I'm finding is rather old. Here are two: http://weblog.techdad.net/2006/11/12/dual-boot-mac-osx-and-ubuntu/ and http://weblog.techdad.net/2006/11/13/dual-boot-mac-osx-and-ubuntu-part-ii/ [01:29] djzn, personally, i seperate / /usr /var /tmp /opt swap and /home - and i don't feel my system slow down -- plus i get the advantage of managing each mount point seperately to perhaps improve performance [01:29] FelixTheCat: thanks again, i'll check them out [01:29] ./configure ; make ; sudo make install === threethirty_away is now known as threethirty [01:29] Is anyone on that can explain where the edgy mirror went? [01:29] cronin: enjoy! [01:30] i am concerned about space efficiency [01:30] for example [01:30] the windows partition was 8GB when I last formatted [01:30] orphean: i am using 2 OS on 2 seperate harddrive now, one is windows xp, the other is ubuntu [01:30] with a HD that large it wont be much of an issue [01:30] it is almost full and complaining [01:30] what about swap [01:30] djzn have you look at LVM for space efficiency and forward looking for upgrades? [01:30] do I put it inbetween or do i put it last [01:30] djzn; buy a bigger drive.. 180$ for a TB drive.. i'm soon to purchase myself. [01:31] what about swap? this isn't System V, your swap isn't going to fill up. [01:31] bastid_raZor - agreed [01:31] my swap does not even get written ever [01:31] i have 4 GB [01:31] of RAM [01:31] i just picked up two SATA300 500Gib drives for $80US each [01:31] djzn: up to 1G of ram, swap should be 2x ram.. beyond 1G, I just stick with 2G or swap=ram [01:31] djzn 4 gig swap [01:31] djzn, if i were you, i would try and place swap on a partition of a seperate physical drive if possible -- otherwise i don't really care where it goes [01:31] if you're worried about swap getting in the way of other things just tack it on before the ubuntu paritions or after them [01:32] orphean: how do i mount up my windows xp harddrive on my ubuntu desktop everytime i start up my computer [01:32] I have a video playing and I just moved a file over the video. Is there a way to save it? The movie is still playing and has no problems [01:32] 4 gig swap? my 2GB swap DOESNT ever get written at all [01:32] my xserver keeps restarting if i hold down just backspace for more than half a second [01:32] can anyone tell me why i don't have the windows network settings in my network settings pane under general when I do have samba installed (8.04)? [01:32] I'm having a problem with iptables. when I try to restore my iptables from a saved rules file I get Bad argument 'logdrop'. Here's some verbose and the rules file I'm trying to use... http://pastebin.com/d1074c30e === arooniasldkfjasj is now known as arooni [01:32] sloopy; where did you find that deal? [01:32] djzn, zcat[1], well, if he were using suspend-to-disk -- he might want to consider enough space for the contents of memory to reside on swap [01:32] Silverzrishi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770294 [01:32] djzn: you reboot too often then [01:33] djzn If you have 4 gig of ram, and space to burn. make a 4 gig swap so you have the ability to suspend if you want to at some point in time [01:33] bastid_raZor, when taxes came i just walked into (worst) best buy and was on shelf [01:33] vista is much betetr than ubunto [01:33] whats using this new securityfs mounted on /sys/kernel/security ? something recent I just noticed... [01:33] !ot | you_cant_see_bla [01:33] you_cant_see_bla: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:33] you all guys use suspend to ram? [01:33] orphean: is there a commandline to do it everytime i start up my computer automatically? [01:33] ubuntu likes the cock in and around the mouth [01:33] my xserver keeps restarting if i hold down just backspace for more than half a second [01:33] unop: that's why swap=ram, no matter how much ram.. once you get past 2G you don't really need swap except to hibernate [01:33] listen, suspend to RAM... can it be disconnected from Power cable? [01:33] any emacs users got problems reading ~/.emacsrc ? [01:34] Is there any chance I can save this movie? [01:34] Silverzrishi: just follow the instructions in that link and it'll come up on login [01:34] is there a url out there that describes the differences between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server ? [01:34] i dont insult my machines with emacs... (no, i am not a vi person... i swear ;') [01:34] Plazma: essentially, you don't have the graphical interface- no mouse/gnome/kde [01:34] sloopy, their all just tools, but i myself prefer vi for the fact its everywhere [01:35] sloopy: emacs does everything :) [01:35] Plazma: server is just regular ubuntu with a different install disk and a different set of base packages that are preinstalled. [01:35] I'm thinking maybe totem caches the file somehow. [01:35] Plazma: you also have the options to install an ssh server, a web server, a dns server, mail server, and maybe others (proxy server?) straight from the install [01:35] Plazma: they do some extra configuration stuff for you in ubuntu-server. [01:35] you even got a psycoterapist [01:35] orphean: hi but i did not see the link u posted, can u please post it again ? [01:35] sloopy, you must be a master in the zen of gedit [01:35] hey team; i use unison to login and sync my files from my laptop to my desktop (both running ubuntu hardy). in the log file i'm seeing: Permission denied (publickey,password). ... so im not sure how to fix this? [01:35] anybody successfully applied the ICQ patch on pidgin? [01:35] when i started using unix (1980 somthin) the machine i had could run emacs very well so i used vi [01:35] Silverzrishi: Sure! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770294 [01:35] Not to sound like a troll, but does Ubuntu still put "kid gloves" on you when you try to do anything system related.. like rebuliding a kernel.. etc? [01:36] Plazma: yes. [01:36] orphean: ok thank alot [01:36] IndyGunFreak; ICQ is still a usable protocol? [01:36] orphean, is there anyway around that? [01:36] When was edgy taken off of http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ and where is it now? [01:36] bastid_raZor: of course.. [01:36] Plazma, i wouldn't say so - it's not much different from how debian does it - and i can swear debian does not allow for "kid gloves" :) [01:36] Plazma: you can still rebuild the kernel the old debian way if you want, but it makes your system unsupportable. [01:36] unop, no dont use gedit... [01:37] orphean, ahh i see [01:37] i like gedit... [01:37] Plazma: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [01:37] could someone tell me how to make avant window navigator open upon boot? for some reason i always have to open it in order for my tasks to dock [01:37] orphean, thanks a lot [01:37] bastid_raZor: it seems they done some upgrade though(ICQ/AOL did), and its causijng pidgin to disconnect, i'm patching my source now and recompiling.. wondering if anyone had luck w/ it. [01:37] Thanks anywasy. [01:37] hi is there a problem with http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apache2/apache2-utils_2.2.8-1ubuntu0.2_i386.deb? Im trying to install lamp via synaptic pkg manager and I got this error W: Failed to fetch http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apache2/apache2-utils_2.2.8-1ubuntu0.2_i386.deb [01:37] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] [01:37] IndyGunFreak; good luck [01:37] sloopy, ok you old ed-using propagandist -- stay on topic ;) [01:37] bastid_raZor: lol, i'll know here in a sec. [01:37] is it the site or is just me? [01:37] rand0m: Go to System->Preferences->Sessions and click the Add button. [01:38] acp_ have you changed any of your sources [01:38] orphean, so in the ubuntu-server , do you have the option of installing various things at install, like kde/gnome or the like? [01:38] no [01:38] rand0m: AWN for named, avant-window-navigator for the command, whatever you want for comment. [01:38] unop, ed... what real unix geeks have for breakfast ;') [01:38] im just using the outof the box [01:38] Plazma: yeah its the same repos [01:38] acp_: that url is 404 [01:38] source.list [01:38] mm [01:39] Plazma: The only difference is what gets installed by default, and if you choose to install something like a LAMP stack from the install cd it comes preconfigured. [01:39] orphean, so if i were to run a mail server and a web server and some other 3rd party serves (say dovecot or the like).. would server be teh choice.. or can they run the same on desktop too [01:39] perfect, thanks orphean [01:39] Plazma: everything else is the same. [01:39] acp_: I'd try a different mirror .. sometimes they aren't as synched as they ought to be [01:39] use a printing terminal and you will appreciate ed... so will the trees [01:39] orphean, preconfigured how? [01:39] acp_ what country are you in.. use pastebin and post your /etc/apt/source.list [01:40] Plazma: in the sense that its "reasonably setup" for basic security/preformance. Since you were talking about kernel compiling, you will want to further change things I'm sure. :) [01:40] zcat[1] I tried three and it was not found [01:40] orphean, right right, i jsut wanted to know what it "preconfigures" is all, and if it's preconfiguration gets in the way of my needs.. but if it's really basic stuff then it wont be a big deal [01:41] !find apache2-utils [01:41] Found: apache2-utils [01:41] !info apache2-utils [01:41] apache2-utils (source: apache2): utility programs for webservers.

[01:43] !vote [01:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about vote [01:43] !opinion [01:43] 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. [01:43] when is 8.04.1 released? [01:43] ok I have dual booted opengeu and I would like to remove it but dont want to mess this install of ubuntu up how would i do that [01:44] !botabuse > m_newton [01:44] m_newton, please see my private message [01:44] Plazma: honestly just preference. I've used centos on lots of dedi's but if there's an option for ubuntu server i take it [01:44] <\banlist> http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f5f5f2da5 <--- download this wonderful semi-automatic script for downloading some obsoleted patents (e.g. Arithmetic Coder, LZW, etc.) [01:44] kholerabbi, It is already released [01:44] Plazma: personally, I probably wouldn't .. apart from ubuntu is what I'm nost familiar with.. for serious server work I'd recomend debian or centos or even opensuse [01:44] Plazma: they're both equally capable. i like the dpkg stuff and the repositories better than yum and rpm personally. [01:44] interesting [01:44] m_newton: indeed. when was it released? [01:44] Hi Jack_Sparrow here is my sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/24376/ [01:44] m_newton: no, it is not. [01:44] i support a large # of RHEL boxes and a few centos boxes in a lab, so natrually its what im most familiar with, but in the linux world i cut my teeth on Debian so it's stuck with me [01:45] bastid_raZor: worked fine. [01:45] zcat[1], orphean , i appreciate your input [01:45] I'm having an issue with the settings on this monitor being too bright. [01:45] Is there a program or somewhere to change the contrast / brightness inside of Ubuntu? [01:45] Using the settings on the monitor itself don't help. [01:45] mneptok, well it is supposed to be released 3 months after the official 8.04 release [01:46] m_newton: no, it is not. [01:46] mneptok, Are u sure? [01:46] man , do you #ubuntu guys get all the riff raff ? [01:46] m_newton: and if that were true, 8.04.1 would be released at the end of this month [01:46] m_newton: very sure. [01:47] m_newton: there is no predetermined schedule for point releases [01:47] mneptok, please see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy [01:47] I am using ubuntu 8.04 freshly installed and trying to add a security exception in firefox. However when I click Confirm Security Exception nothing happens. Any suggestions? [01:47] acp_ sudo apt-get install apache2-utils [01:47] Plazma: the real 'riff raff' hangs out on #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [01:47] heh [01:48] does anyone her eknow howto use climm? [01:48] guess people have nothing better to do than to troll/spam IRC from their moms basement eh [01:48] m_newton: please /whois mneptok [01:48] can anyone help me with ubuntu server? [01:48] chyper67: ask a question, don't ask to ask [01:48] m_newton We are sure [01:49] can someone help me, i keep getting a Hash Sum mismatch when i try and update Ubuntu 8.04 [01:49] m_newton: there is no guaranteed date for a point release. [01:49] igor_: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:49] mnemo, oh sorry than, didnt know who you were, i just went by launchpad. sorry again [01:49] mneptok: the release is expected within a few days? [01:49] m_newton: no worries. [01:50] so how would i go about to remove the other os with out messing this one up [01:50] kholerabbi: we're hoping for Thursday, but nothing is carved in stone. anything may change. [01:50] mneptok, when i ran apt-get update it got a lot of "# Debian Pure64 [01:50] deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-pure64 sid main contrib non-free [01:50] deb-src http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-pure64 sid main contrib non-free" [01:50] mnemo, This thursday? [01:50] errors [01:50] m_newton: yep. [01:50] the X server loads automatically in ubuntu server? cause i couldn get it started [01:50] cool [01:51] chyper67: an x server isn't installed by default in ubuntu server, it's in repositories though so you are free to install it if you would like [01:51] chyper67, there is no gui in the server version of ubuntu, only tty [01:51] mneptok: cheers. will it say 8.04.1 at the ubuntu download site? [01:52] kholerabbi: yup. [01:52] does anyone here know how to use climm? [01:52] ok, but i ve tried to install it with xinit and it did not work too [01:52] mneptok: thanks again [01:52] and keep getting this .. "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xerces27/libxerces27-dev_2.7.0-5_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch [01:52] " [01:52] i can't update without getting tons of those [01:52] chyper67: starting x with xinit is pretty much always wrong [01:52] ariqs, http://www.climm.org/ [01:53] chyper67: you should be using startx or a graphical login manager (like gdm, kdm, or xdm). And you'll have to provide us with specific errors if you want help [01:53] chyper67: "doesn't work" doesn't help us [01:53] igor_: why do you have Debian repos in Ubuntu? [01:53] ok, thanks [01:53] yeah noticed that, removed it [01:54] igor_, Do u sync or merge? [01:54] Nm [01:54] no [01:54] i just installed ubuntu this morning, keep getting "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xerces27/libxerces27-dev_2.7.0-5_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch [01:54] " and such [01:54] igor_, nevermind [01:54] whenever i hold down just my backspace key my xserver restarts....any tips? [01:54] igor_: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:55] did that, i'll try again ina sec [01:55] startx did not work too, i will try to configure. thanks [01:55] anyone have a how-to for intel pro wireless 3945? it detects networks but does not connect. [01:55] Anyone know of a configuration tool for contrast / brightness for a standard monitor? (ie, non-lcd) [01:55] dolags32129: ctrl-alt-backspace is the key combo to restart your X server. if it happens when you just press backspace I'd imaging there is an error in your keyboard mapping [01:55] dolags32128, well ctrl alt backspace usually does that, check for stuck keys [01:55] heh, Fryguy-- got it before me [01:55] tj83: my 3945 has worked fine when I've used it [01:55] m_newton: i usually do [01:56] Ha ha ha. [01:56] Fryguy--, out of the box [01:56] how would i change those settings? [01:56] tj83: yes out of the box, from a live cd, whatever [01:56] dolags32129: /etc/X11/xorg.conf would be a place to start [01:56] dolags32128, check to see if the ctlr alt keys are stuck [01:56] Is there some trick for resetting the X config to its originally installed state? It didn't give my full resolution, but the proprietary fglrx driver isn't stable for me, and uninstalling it won't give me any better than 640x480 vesa [01:56] did that mneptok got "Reading state information... Done [01:56] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [01:56] " [01:56] i've already checked that [01:56] Rhamphoryncus: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:57] yet still fails to update without throwing a hash sum mismatch [01:57] Fryguy--: tried, no good [01:57] Rhamphoryncus: so what driver are you using now? [01:57] well i certainly have an issue with that 3945 card Fryguy-- i have searched google forever [01:57] its been acting weird, i'll just reinstall [01:57] jack_sparrow do you have any info on intel 3945 wireless? [01:57] uhh.. this attempt is configured as fbdev [01:57] anyone got sound working on a macbook (early 2008)? [01:57] Rhamphoryncus: yah that's probably wrong [01:58] which still seems to give me vesa [01:58] tj83 - i also had no issues with the same card, perhaps that explains the lack of info on google. what have you tried so far? [01:58] tj83 nothing comes to mind [01:58] igor_: how does it fail to update if there are no updates? [01:58] igor_, wait. try pasting your source list on pastebin [01:58] wd: Hmm I'm working on the same problem [01:58] !pastebin | igor_ [01:58] igor_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:58] DeadKennedy2880, tried adjusting time out value ... was one suggestion.. tried backports. [01:59] tj83: the 3945 is supported by open drivers and works without any special sauce in anything post-Dapper. [01:59] Fryguy--: I've tried half a dozen options with displayconfig-gtk, testing all of them fails [01:59] tj83: what flavor of 802.11? [01:59] Rhamphoryncus: so maybe just edit xorg.conf manually? it's usually easier [01:59] hmm... mneptok i dont understand the issue.. 802.11g [01:59] mneptok - abg [01:59] tj83: should be fine [02:00] DeadKennedy2880: you don;t want to use B if you can help it [02:00] tj83 http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/making-intel-wireless-3945abg-work-better-on-ubuntu-hardy/ look in backports [02:00] tj83 - im thinkin you did more harm by messing with the settings [02:00] mneptok, tried disable security, other routers. [02:00] why is sbuild asking me for a password when executing: Checking for source dependency conflicts... ? [02:00] tj83: are you able to browse access points? [02:00] Anyone hosting with Ubuntu in here? [02:00] eugene_: ask a specific question [02:00] yes... they appear in list. [02:00] tj83, is it a router problem? [02:00] How do you get the thumbnails to show up larger when you browse via myspace? [02:01] mneptok - can you explain a little why, just so i can learn something? [02:01] mneptok, they just attempt to connect and nothing more. [02:01] tj83: then the driver is loaded, operational, and network-manager is happy. [02:01] m_newton, no.. multiple routers tried. [02:01] How can I find how much memory my graphics card has? [02:01] mneptok, expect there is no connection [02:01] tj83: try a live session to rule any of your tweaks being the source of the problem. [02:01] I been trying to set up a static ip address so I can use this machine as a server, but it won't let me change it to 192.168.1.11 [02:02] DeadKennedy2880: the 3945 and 4965 from Intel have known performance issues under Linux when speaking 802.11b. [02:02] mneptok, its working exactly as did out of box.. clean install twice. [02:02] eugene_: /etc/network/interfaces is what you want to edit, and there's a nice manpage on the subject (or just google for settings for it, it's very straightforward) [02:02] salut [02:02] linkmaster03: type df -h for memory [02:02] mneptok - oh ok, i wasent sure, thx [02:02] I am new in Ubuntu [02:02] okay, thank you [02:02] saylar, what do u need [02:02] who speak french ? [02:03] saylar: bon soiree. #ubuntu-fr pour francais, stp. [02:03] anyone here with sbuild experience? it is asking me for a password [02:03] how i enter to french forum ? [02:03] saylar: /j #ubuntu-fr [02:03] saylar: ecrite "/join #ubuntu-fr" [02:03] my problem is solve I have just change my repository to main via synaptic pkg manager,thanks for the inputs! [02:03] thank you === C3s4r is now known as Bella-ve [02:04] saylar: de rien. [02:04] "/join #ubuntu-fr" [02:04] Fryguy--: well I'm surprised. That worked. What was displayconfig-gtk doing to mess it up? [02:04] saylar: pas des marques quotation [02:04] Rhamphoryncus: no idea, i never use gui tools to configure anything anymore, so I have no idea what displayconfig-gtk looks like [02:04] ok [02:04] !fr [02:04] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [02:05] saylar: vraiment comme ca. :) [02:05] Hmm, no compiz now [02:05] Rhamphoryncus: make sure you have composite enabled in xorg.conf [02:06] Rhamphoryncus, just get it again [02:06] has anyone here got a tftp server working in ubuntu, i just tried tftpd and atftpd, but couldn't get either of them to start [02:07] wirelessdreamer: what is the error [02:08] I don't get any, i run /etc/init.d/atftpd start and don't even get a message === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [02:08] it should tell me its starting up, but doesn't [02:08] wirelessdreamer: any output in logs? [02:08] Hi [02:08] and i can't find a config file to set the directory to serve out for it dpkg -L doesn't say a config file was installed [02:08] does anyone here has an ATI video card (X1000 series) and want to share some experiences? [02:08] <{Sampler}> hi everyone. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to get a mail server "system" working on our local server. would like to be simple and use fetchmail (6 mailboxes in the ourside world) and dovecot .. I think i also need procmail .. but cant seem to work how where its putting the inbound email. Any guideance would be great === rand0m is now known as urand0m [02:08] Dicrodium: just ask the question you want to ask [02:09] Fryguy: i'll pull them up again [02:09] .q [02:09] \q [02:09] {Sampler}: what MTA are you using? [02:09] sendmail/exim/etc [02:09] Dicrodium, what do u need [02:10] I'd like to know the current status of those ATI cards.. [02:10] using the open source driver (and also with fglrx) [02:10] <{Sampler}> Fryguy > smtp is postfix seems to be working well as outbound smtp [02:10] stability.. suspend/resume.. those things [02:10] Dicrodium, i have a toshiba satellite A100 laptop [02:10] and with an ATI card [02:10] it's fine [02:11] just installed ubuntu 8.04 last night [02:11] flawless [02:11] {Sampler}: have you tried /var/mail or /var/spool/mail? [02:11] Dicrodium, sorry cant help. not my expertice [02:11] I've used ubuntu on an x1450 and it works fine [02:11] nice managed to fix my problem!!!! YAY me [02:11] <{Sampler}> fryguy > do you mind a direct chat window ? [02:11] also on an older 9800pro and x1650 [02:12] {Sampler}: yes i do [02:12] Dicrodium, i had a notification icon in the taskbar indicating something about my ATI drivers not being found upon installing & startup.. but i pressed "enable" and it downloaded some drivers, made me reboot, and worked fine [02:12] now i can run in 3d mode with visual effects [02:12] and it barely takes any system resources... i can't believe this OS [02:12] Fryguy: i run this and get no output, and atftpd isn't running after it atftpd --daemon /tftpboot/ [02:12] i have a 500gb external hard drive (actually 465gb); i formatted it as ext3 when i check to see how much space i have available it says that i have used 141gb of space but i only have 2 folders (one with 82gb and 32gb) which leaves about 35gb unaccounted for. where could they have gone? [02:12] wirelessdreamer: and no log file is created? [02:13] Nice [02:13] running xp, this laptop with a POS.. ran slowly, took forever even to open my computer and recognize my drive or removable devices. Ubuntu knows what's up.. I want to shake the hand of the creators [02:13] I've installed ubuntu on a HP dv2750EA flawless (except needed to flash my BIOS to get cpufreq functionality) [02:13] absolute brilliant work in this OS [02:13] but what about the open source driver? does it already work on X1000 series on Hardy? [02:13] the_alamo: that's a lot of numbers you spewed out there. What is the output of df -h? [02:13] the_alamo: by default, the ext3 filesystem reserves 5% of the space for use by root only [02:13] any-body-know-why-my-keyboard-is-not-working?!-NOT-because-of-dirt-in-my-keyboards-thing.. [02:13] hey all. I searched ubuntu forums. Problem is that when download server 8.04, and create iso, it is not bootable. Desktop versions are fine. any suggestions? [02:13] heh, i installed it today on a quite new Toshiba Satellite laptop running vista, which upon purchase, my brother was told could ONLY run vista due to proprietary drivers. [02:13] tunix34: picked wrong keyboard mapping? [02:13] runs like a charm, and WAY better than while running vista [02:14] tunix34: change it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:14] I'm doing an alternate install of ubuntu 7.10, the installer freezes up at 83% ("installing the kernel - retrieving and installing linux-generic...") [02:14] <{Sampler}> fryguy> .. ok np yes there are matching files per user, viewing those files looks like emails .. ok how to they get out of there into the users home/Maildir's ? [02:14] {Sampler}: procmail should do it [02:14] Fryguy--: unfortunately i am at work (and using Xp) so i can't check that --i will check when i get home! [02:14] yes we can (fart) === poseidonGHOST is now known as poseidon [02:14] sp219 check the disk md5sum [02:14] sp219, are you sure it freezes [02:14] i dualbooted is there a way to go back to one os other then a full reinstall [02:14] {Sampler}: there's plenty of tutorials on the internet for setting up mail servers. what you have seems to be working from an ubuntu standpoint, so it's not really ontopic for this channel [02:14] <{Sampler}> Fryguy .. great ok so i need to work out whats going on with procmail .. cool thanks for that .. [02:15] sp219, try leaving for sometime and then check.. [02:15] arvind_khadri: It just sits there [02:15] Fryguy--what-do-you-mean [02:15] l3d: what do you want to do back to [02:15] i left it about 10 minutes [02:15] didn't move at all [02:15] tunix34: ? [02:15] [21:13] tunix34: change it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:15] sp219, hmm let it be like that for some more time...how much ram you got... [02:15] good evening guys.. i need some help plz... when i plug in any USB device, it does not show to be mounted.. or it mught be but i dont see it anymore. could i get some info please? [02:15] hi... I put swap as my last partition, I hope I done well [02:15] yoyoned: i believe i compensated for that --i forget exactly what i did but someone suggested that i run a command from the terminal to set the reserve to 0. [02:15] tunix34: I mean edit that file and make the key mapping what you want [02:15] back to ubuntu [02:16] arvind_khadri: Only 128 MB, that's why i used the alternate CD [02:16] caliburrito: after you plug it in, take a look in /mnt or /media and see if it shows up [02:16] sp219, hmm ... if it doesnt run even after 20 mins or so check the cd for md5sum [02:16] the_alamo: I think tune2fs is the comand to adjust that [02:16] Hey, trivial question here. Is there a way to change the main menu button...or at least change the colors? [02:16] l3d: and so what is the behavior now? [02:16] i dual booted to opengeu [02:16] yoyoned: yes that was what i used. [02:17] arvind_khadri: I'm not looking for a GUI environment anyway... would the ubuntu server install CD require less resources/RAM? [02:17] l3d: so is grub installed? [02:17] the_alamo: tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1 [02:17] i guess [02:17] something is [02:17] sp219, yeah .... server wont have GUI so less space and RAM :) [02:17] l3d: "something" isn't helpful [02:18] l3d: if grub is installed, just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or grub.conf (which one it is varies from OS to OS) and put ubuntu back on the list [02:18] the_alamo: how are you checking the filesize? try df -h [02:18] I did, 20GB (/), 137GB (/home) and 2GB Swap - did I do good? [02:18] yoyoned: i will have to run that when i log on to ubuntu --i am at work right now. i will check it out soon and get back to you [02:18] djzn: should be fine [02:18] arvind_khadri: thanks :) I'll leave this one for 20 minutes or so and if it doesn't work, i'll move to the server version [02:18] Question: I want to install ubuntu on my "server", however i want to have sort of an odd interface to it. I would like to be able to log into it via SSH (Terminal) and do most of the work that way (queuing renders, etc), but i also would like to have a desktop already installed, just not run by default. So when, if i need to use it like a normal comp, i can just launch my desktop (i would do it remotely though). Is this possible to have [02:18] a config like this? [02:18] my swap never gets written, I never use suspend mode, so It was wise to be the last partition, right? [02:18] sp219, you are welcome :) [02:19] (Hope you all got that heh) [02:19] yoyoned: i have ubuntu installed on a computer at work but it doesn't have the internet so i will have to run back and forth (fun!) [02:19] Leefmc: sure, just uninstall any login managers like gdm and run x using startx [02:19] Leefmc: also take a look at doing X11 forwarding so you can run your X applications and forward the displays to other machines [02:19] Leefmc, just use without X server, and use ssh -Y command to export x11 apps to your desktop [02:20] WalloO: it's ssh -X [02:20] arvind_khadri: More specifically it's a 700 MHz processor with 128 MB RAM and 15 GB HDD. The requirements for the server version is only 300 MHz + 64 MB RAM [02:20] :P [02:20] i was wondering if.... I can remove the "Applications" "Places" and "System" off the icons... in the taskbar, any ideas? [02:20] WalloO: Wtf? You can actually export the display of apps?! [02:20] WalloO: that sounds insane haha, i never would of imagined that [02:20] Leefmc, doing that, all x11 apps launch from you ssh session will be displayed on your desktop [02:20] Can anyone help with a Macbook sound problem? [02:20] djzn: the widgets placed in the panel are fully configurable, just remove that widget and replace it with a menu widget that you want [02:20] WalloO: And computed on the remote server? [02:20] sp219, ya...server editions are real nice on low mem systems [02:20] Fryguy--, -Y works too, and in most cases [02:20] WalloO: Dear god.. its magical haha [02:20] Leefmc: you can set it so gnome or whatever is installed but not ran at startup, but running gui apps via ssh is better if you can do it [02:20] Leefmc: yes [02:21] is it possible to access a computer in a lan knowing only the MAC? [02:21] Leefmc, yes, it runs on the server, but it's displayed on your desktop. That's the magic of X11 [02:21] tj83 see what was said on private chat [02:21] Leefmc: the machine you display it on can even be a windows or mac machine [02:22] Fryguy--: what program displays X on windows [02:22] yoyoned: xming [02:22] GTK should flicker when your Hz is not set properly in X ? [02:22] WalloO: Man.. crazy. Would it be possible to exit the X11 session without killing the app? For example, starting a render and just logging off the X11 session (without closing the renderer), then later relogin to it to check progress, etc? [02:22] Leefmc: take a look at xpra for that (not part of ubuntu repos, you'll have to compile and set it up yourself) [02:23] Leefmc, in fact, the -Y automaticaly export the display with ssh tunneling. So it'S 100% safe. But be carefull, you have to trust your server, since with dfoing that, it can log your keyboard if it'S corrupted [02:23] fry i have a quick question. My computer ip address is 192.168.1.72, but when I ping it shows up as 127.0.0.1. What does that mean? [02:23] 127.0.0.1 is the loopback interface that every computer has [02:23] I installed ubuntu using "netboot/boot.img.gz" on a flash drive, and now, at the initial boot of the newly installed system, grub is telling me "Error 21:selected disc does not exist", and if I try to plug in my flash drive, it tells me "Error 15: File not found". What the heck? I followed instructions carefully, how do I boot into the installed system now, or do I have to start iover somehow? [02:23] eugene_: every machine has the local address of 127.0.0.1 [02:23] is there a bug in the volume mixer in ubuntu? the two channels kinda break apart and one side won't come up [02:24] WalloO: Ok, so with all this said, is my best bet to still run my server without a desktop running? And if a desktop is needed, i can start it? Because most of the time, pure SSH would be enough for me [02:24] its like you are talking to yourself [02:24] Leefmc, I don't know if it's possible. I never tryed to do such thing. If you logout, it will stop your app. I don'T know if it's possible to logaout without living x11 app and reconnect to it latre [02:24] WalloO: Desktop would just use needed resources [02:24] ok so i've tried to put ubuntu on a flash drive, livecd, nothing boots on this machine... it just dies while loading and eventually kicks to the initframs prompt... [02:24] Leefmc: yep [02:24] its the ip address of you own computer for programs that are running on that computer [02:24] from inside the computers mind so to speak [02:24] Fryguy--: So then, i want to install ubuntu normally, then uninstall login managers [02:25] Leefmc, you don't need to run a desktop on the server. The desktop as to run on your client computer. [02:25] Leefmc: or otherwise disable them, yah [02:25] Anyone know what could be wrong? When I am trying to install, it will use a guided partition, it just sticks at 0% "Resizing Partition" for 15 minutes. I reboot, still intact. [02:25] help, I just booted to the live CD to install ubuntu. I installed dmraid, but when I type 'sudo dmraid -ay' I get 'ERROR: device mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel" [02:25] Leefmc: or just leave it running, it's going to hardly take up any resources [02:25] Is there a .*rc file that gets run on graphical login? [02:25] Fryguy--: How much is hardly? Its only got 2gig atm (need to upgrade to 64bit so i can load it out with the max 16gigs), so even a few bits of ram is important [02:26] conley: you can configure a session that uses .xinitrc if you want [02:26] /etc/gdm/Sessions or something along those lines [02:26] ok, thanks [02:26] help, I just booted to the live CD to install ubuntu. I help, I just booted to the live CD to install ubuntu. I installed dmraid, but when I type 'sudo dmraid -ay' I get 'ERROR: device mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel"installed dmraid, but when I type 'sudo dmraid -ay' I get 'ERROR: device mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel" [02:26] Leefmc: the linux kernel knows how to manage memory, it will swap it out if it needs to [02:27] Fryguy: Oh way, that's for graphical startup...I want login [02:27] how to stop some package e.g like openoffice from updates ? [02:27] Leefmc: or just edit startup scripts so it doesn't run at startup, or just uninstall it. We've given you plenty of options, it's up to you to decide what you want to do [02:27] conley: depends on what shell you are using [02:27] Leefmc: /etc/init.d/gdm is the script that starts gdm [02:27] Fryguy--: Gotcha, thanks :) [02:27] yoyoned: k [02:27] conley: if you are using bash, ~/.bash_profile gets executed for login shells, and ~/.bashrc gets executed for any instance of bash [02:27] Fryguy: graphical login [02:28] conley: For graphical login you want to use Session [02:28] ok [02:28] Fryguy--: Also, what do i need to do to start an SSH server? Does the ubuntu wiki contain a page for this exact situation? (Note that i know very little about SSH) [02:28] need help with dmraid! [02:29] !dmraid > arvind_khadri [02:29] arvind_khadri, please see my private message [02:29] Leefmc: it does. all you need to do is apt-get install the server (i think the package is named openssh-server, i don't use ubuntu so i have no idea), and then you are done, unless you want to set up other parts of it [02:29] Fryguy--: Gotcha. Thanks! I'll do some wiki readups before i do it though, im a bit weary on security [02:30] !raid | Storrgie [02:30] Ok I am pissed off, could someone help me get pidgin to work again? [02:30] Storrgie: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [02:30] connor: give us a specific problem to solve and we'll gladly help you [02:30] whats bestvirtual software, such as VirtualBox? [02:30] igor_: i recommend virtualbox, it's really nice [02:30] Leefmc: check /etc/ssh/sshd_config to ensure ssh forwarding is enabled on the server [02:30] Fryguy: did you post a response about the tftp question, my buffer scrolled by while i was afk [02:30] fryguy--: I connect pidgin but I get signed off immediately after it signs on with a message saying Lost connection with server: Connection reset by peer [02:30] reinstalling didn't help [02:31] yoyoned: What is forwarding? [02:31] Thanks, I'll try it it out, just wanted to see if there were better out there that you guys know of [02:31] yoyoned: The X11 thing? [02:31] wirelessdreamer: no idea, i don't keep track of what scrolled past either. and i respond to quite a few people so i don't keep track [02:31] arvind_khadri: I know that, but i cant get dmraid to work [02:31] Leefmc: rignt forwarding X over ssh [02:31] connor: for an AIM account or another account? [02:31] Storrgie, no idea ...sorry [02:31] fryguy--: aim [02:32] connor: did anything change ? [02:32] yoyoned: Gotcha. That wont be right away though, my priorities for that are rather low, for now it'll be command line render starting [02:32] I'm using ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron [02:32] connor: or did it just start disconnecting [02:32] no i didnt fryguy-- [02:32] It just randomly started doing this one day [02:32] yoyoned: But that is a seriously cool concept. If it works well enough for me to use blender on my server.. jeez [02:32] connor: try deleting ~/.purple and restarting pidgin and setting up your accounts again [02:32] !enter | connor [02:32] connor: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[02:33] * m_newton is away: loligaging at the wee hours of nite; just to say hi to all and host my server. [02:33] thanks [02:33] ICQ? [02:33] Question: Anyone know if FFMPEG has a FastStart option? I believe there is a separate command for "qt-faststart", but i need a command directly of ffmpeg, to use through blender. [02:34] ~/.purple isnt in /home/connor/ [02:34] zelrikriando: pidgin [02:34] my computer doesn't allow me to boot from USB. If I wanted to use my external HD for another OS, would there be a way to force my computer to boot from USB? [02:34] connor: nobody said it was. ~/.purple is the path you want to delete [02:34] connor, no, that s the client...I want to know your IM account [02:34] chowder: how old is your computer [02:34] zelrikriando: Pidgin [02:34] connor: not /home/connor/~/.purple [02:34] zelrikriando: hothothotpocket why do you ask? [02:34] anyone know how to install the linux version of unreal tournament ? [02:34] connor: not too old [02:34] then where fryguy--? [02:34] connor: ~/.purple [02:34] connor: a few years old I guess, but it has good specs and all [02:35] chowder: set your bios to boot from usb and then go to boot menu and select the usb device [02:35] connor, ....Your IM, what is it? msn ? ICQ? yahoo? [02:35] AIM [02:35] zelrikriando: if you were keeping up, it's AIM [02:35] ok [02:35] connor: I tried that but my BIOS doesn't offer that option [02:35] usb? [02:35] I know there are issues with ICQ [02:35] is it usb-zip? [02:35] I installed ubuntu using "netboot/boot.img.gz" on a flash drive, and now, at the initial boot of the newly installed system, grub is telling me "Error 21:selected disc does not exist", and if I try to plug in my flash drive, it tells me "Error 15: File not found". What the heck? I followed instructions carefully, how do I boot into the installed system now, or do I have to start iover somehow? [02:35] that s why I ask [02:35] WOW [02:35] alienseer23: use a live cd [02:35] trust me [02:35] connor: open a terminal and type: rm -Rf ~/.purple [02:35] thank you [02:36] connor: no cdrom [02:36] oh [02:36] uhhh [02:36] do a network install? [02:36] get an external cd drive? [02:36] connor: I DID a network install [02:36] connor: i was thinking about experimenting and installing Ubuntu to an external hardrive but I can't get the BIOS to boot from USB. [02:36] oh [02:36] connor: wait..I did an install over the net, using a flash drive to initiate the install [02:36] hold on chowder [02:37] connor: k [02:37] i did rm -Rf ~/.purple, am i supposed to get a message saying it is deleted? [02:37] chowder: if you can't boot from usb you can't boot from usb [02:37] connor: no [02:37] I managed to boot on a flashdrive but didnt get further [02:37] oh [02:37] how do i know it is deleted? [02:37] connor: if rm works, it says nothing [02:37] you can take a look to see if it's still there.. [02:37] connor: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html [02:37] you mean chowder [02:37] conner: ls  ~/.purple [02:37] i can boot from usb fine [02:38] oh [02:38] connor: ?? [02:38] To prepare the USB stick, you will need a system where GNU/Linux is already running and where USB is supported. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:38] alienseer23: did you see that? [02:38] I followed the "easy" method [02:38] anyone knows how to handle USB Microphone? [02:38] connor: I followed the instructions perfectly [02:39] hello. my screensaver won't start on it's own. (i'm a ubuntu newbie) from the ubuntu bugs I found something that said run 'ps ax|grep saver' and i have 2 things listed: gnome-screensaver and grep saver .. do i need to disable one of this? ctrl+alt+l works fine [02:39] connor: well my USB ports work just fine on Ubuntu. but my bios doesn't give me the option to boot it. Is there a workaround or a hack that you know of? [02:39] bumpdt: no [02:39] connor: I used an existing ubuntu box to perpare the usb drive [02:39] chowder: that has nothing to do with it [02:39] alienseer23: did you use a live cd? [02:39] chowder: if your hardware doesn't support booting from usb, it doesn't support booting from usb, end of story. Check to see if there is a bios update available that provides the functionality, otherwise you are stuck === Elixer is now known as Litx [02:40] sorry if someone replied, slight emergency and i missed about 5 minutes of replies. I am unable to boot server 8 cds. downloaded several times and made several copies. no autorun file appears as does on desktop. [02:40] Fryguy--: kthx [02:40] connor:no, I downloaded http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current//images/netboot/boot.img.gz and extracted it to a flash drive [02:40] delster: ? [02:40] alienseer23: you said you used a ubuntu box to prepare it [02:40] connor: then i put the flash drive on the other comp[uter, and booted [02:40] delster: what are you trying to do [02:40] connor: correct [02:41] What texlive package should I install to use babel with spanish and inputenc??? Accents are changed for strange characters?? [02:41] ok, what was the error again? [02:41] downloaded server 8.04 iso. trying to boot. will not. [02:41] fryguy--: what should i do? [02:41] bumpdt: no idea [02:41] I've got a Synaptics TouchPad that stops working on a laptop when it comes out of suspend. It seems to be because the device disappears from /dev on return from suspend, anyone familiar with this problem off the top of their head? I don't have access to logs or anything right now [02:41] delster: is your computer set to boot from CD? [02:41] alienseer23: try redoing the install? [02:41] v64: known issue, plenty of google results about it [02:41] yes. and i can boot desktop version, but not server. [02:42] delster: did you burn the ISO correctly? [02:42] connor: I am trying to avoid that, I am installing to a system with solid state drives, and want as few re-installs as possable [02:42] yeah, I've seen the Google, it seems to be caused by a variety of issues, a lot of the problems involved the device not disappearing, but just being renamed [02:42] does anyone know how to make a folder in console? [02:42] so those don't apply to me [02:42] hittingpilot: mkdir [02:42] did it the same way as the others. [02:42] thnx [02:42] specifically in my case, the device is no longer present on return from suspend [02:42] alienseer23: my only guess was to use a live cd install, and how can you boot a usb device but not have a cd drive? [02:43] hittingpilot: use mkdir "name of th directory" [02:43] delster: burn another disc then. it either works or it doesn't. If your computer is properly set up and boots from cds, but it doesn't boot from 1 cd, then logic follows that the cd is either bad or burned incorrectly [02:43] connor: any computer with a usb connection, and no rom [02:43] i've burned 3. the autorun.inf appears to be missing. [02:44] delster: autorun.inf has nothing to do with booting [02:44] autorun.inf is a windows-only thing [02:44] ahh. [02:44] Fryguy--: how do I destroy that folder? [02:44] hittingpilot: rmdir or rm -r [02:45] delster: put cd in drive and reboot [02:45] delster: you're defintely burning the .iso as an image correctly? checkd it's md5 sum in case the iso you have is corrupt? === Starnestommy is now known as sheep [02:46] I have problem with my cpu because it will flux between 800 mhz, 1.6 ghz and top at 1.9 ghz, how can i keep it to stay on one frequency no matter what [02:46] I used powerISO to look at the iso files i downloaded. both i386 and amd desktop iso's have an autorun where the server versions do not. That's why I thought it was the problem. [02:46] cbassett: disable powernowd [02:46] cbassett: or just leave it, since it doesn't do anything bad and saves your electric bill [02:46] i don't care about the bill, how to disable === m_newton_ is now known as m_newton [02:46] delster: different OS = different contents [02:47] cbassett: [02:47] cbassett: 21:48:15 | Quit m_newton [n=Newton@adsl-75-57-165-97.dsl.emhril.sbcglobal.net] [02:47] whoops [02:47] cbassett: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+disable+powernowd [02:47] what is the ccsm package called? can't find it with synaptic [02:47] cbassett: you should just leave it running, it doesn't do anything bad [02:48] ket[a]: compiz-settings-manager or something, just apt-cache search for compiz, there's not that many results [02:48] !ccsm [02:48] ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [02:49] what do i do now? do i reinstall pidgin?

[02:50] thank you fryguy-- [02:50] it works [02:50] but why isnt synaptic showing it. it used to. it's not even finding xfce-terminal [02:51] make sure you have universe and stuff enabled === sheep is now known as Starnestommy [02:51] well the 4 checkboxes are checked [02:51] and have you updated? [02:52] how can i change the spell check dictionary that programs in gnome use? [02:52] i think it has something to do with aspell? [02:52] hiptobecubic: did you type that into google yet?

[02:57] i+ m here for 5 - 7 hours try to resolve this that is start to makes me think i ubuntu is one good option to me sometimes [02:57] !gksudo [02:57] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:57] where do I find the information like this for partition 1:# /dev/sda2 [02:57] UUID=b16835fc-20d8-4173-aa96-60858ea2269b none swap sw 0 0 [02:57] /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [02:57] sorry for the dbl. [02:57] WalloO: if you're using console just use sudo nano /etc/fstab [02:57] WalloO Use gksudo for running any gui app in term [02:57] dolphin_noel: btw, there's better options for instant messaging applications than amsn [02:57] mainly like the UUID and so on [02:57] dolphin_noel try to run amsn in shell and paste the output in the pastebin [02:58] has anyone setup samba as a pdc with ldap authenication [02:58] plik, if you want, but nano or VI may be a headack for standard users [02:58] has anyone setup samba as a pdc with ldap authenication [02:58] Jack_Sparrow, ok [02:58] krono2k5: #samba [02:58] Fryguy-- like what?!

[02:59] WalloO: I only said that cox you mentioned the console, nano hass losts of help available, I wouldn't suggest vi(m) to a beginner [02:59] anolis: not possible [02:59] transcoding always causes quality loss [02:59] and is osmething is ocmpiz allready try to reset to default configurations and natthing [02:59] dolphin_noel try emesene [02:59] plik, ok. I don't really know nano. I use VI or mc in console mode. :) [02:59] why i will use emesene if dont have webcam?! [03:00] dolphin_noel: why will you use amsn if it's broken?! [03:00] how do i fix this error? WvDial<*1>: The PPP daemon has died: Lack of LCP echo responses (exit code = 15) [03:00] WalloO: long time vim uers here myself [03:00] * Fryguy-- uses nothing but vim === Litx is now known as Elixer [03:00] Fryguy--, i've done it before i just don't remember the switch for ffmpeg [03:00] * plik high 5s Fryguy-- [03:00] * Fryguy-- is a software engineer and uses it as his development environment [03:00] it keeps disconnecting the modem every 2 minutes [03:00] dolphin_noel you can use emesene normally. thats no need for a webcam to make it work [03:00] plik, I'm no more used to vi. It'S powerfull, but to difficult to remember every command :) [03:01] Fryguy--, i did it to play them on my tv but "ffmpeg -i " makes a super grainy video with LOTS of pixelation [03:01] WalloO: vimtutor and practice :) [03:01] someone before it disconnects? [03:01] Fryguy--, i found a guide once that was perfect but i can't find it anymore [03:01] albuntu man ... and why not amsn?! [03:01] just because the ubutu have some bug?! [03:01] anolis: so go read documentation on how to manipulate ffmpeg to do what you want, it's outside of the scope of this channel [03:01] plik, not so much time and interrest in improving my skill in vi. Iol like Gedit and eclipse for file or code editing.. :) [03:01] because this looks dont work anything here?! [03:02] dolphin_noel if you dont give the output than you cant say that ubuntu has a bug [03:02] it logs hwhen i install then start to not logout like the coputer wants [03:02] dolphin_noel: it's possible, without you providing us any error logs or anything we can't answer that. And what's up with the ridiculous punctionation at the end of every sentence? [03:02] just because he wants?! [03:02] Fryguy-- any reason why would boot on Dell and not on Compaq?

What type mouse [03:06] oh, it was hidden away in /host thank you [03:06] the user swicther painel ater theinstall nw looks it wants to works only when it wants aftar compile the sotaware strange strange [03:06] dolphin_noel: of course it's not normal, there's no need to get upset about it. Several workarounds have been suggested, why not go and try some of those instead [03:06] its a logitech g5, and it works when in the login screen [03:07] this looks every buggy [03:07] np [03:07] complected insane [03:07] unstabled os === Elixer is now known as Litx [03:07] Karan, I currently use a G5 and it works perfectely. [03:07] trollalert === Litx is now known as Elixer [03:08] dolphin_noel: if you don't like the operating system, then don't use it, there are plenty of other options out there for people. A large number of users use the operating system every day and have wonderful experiences with it; you are certainly in the minority for having a bad experience with it. [03:08] i downloaded ubuntu from the main website and reformatted my hdd and installed it, and the installation went fine, then my mouse just freezes up, and doesnt respond [03:08] Karan: so it works at login screen, but stops as soon as you log in? thats wired [03:08] yea [03:08] Karan: PS/2 or USB? [03:08] usb [03:08] Karan: sounds silly, but try another port [03:08] Fryguy-- is thta the solution you have to i can install one simple software most used in linux ... change to windows?! or some other os?! [03:08] thatswhat i was gonna suggest. [03:08] Karan, is it your mouse or your X11 server. Maybe your system try to run compiz and can freeze because you acceleracted 3D may not work or something like that. [03:09] because you dont know how i can provide you the right informtion to resolve the problem?! [03:09] i cant bealiver [03:09] k, lemme try different port, and whats hte x11 server [03:09] Fryguy-- ok leave it no problem thanks for the help guys [03:09] dolphin_noel: why don't you try pidgin instead. It works with msn [03:09] *yawn* [03:09] sorry about the time and troubles [03:09] dolphin_noel take in mind that everyone here is to help each other. and if you dont know how to make ubuntu work that is YOUR FAULT and not someone else. there are DOZENS of documentation that you can read or you can google your problem and find the solution but from what i see you are too lazy [03:09] How do I get audio working with the internet(rhythmbox works but youtube don't [03:09] dolphin_noel: no, my answer has been to try another instant messenger called pidgin, or to provide me with more details about the problem. since you ignore me and then go on ranting about how you don't like the os, claim it's unstable, and run into other bugs with it, then my suggestion becomes try another os [03:09] Fryguy-- why amsn dont work in linux so?! [03:09] dolphin_noel, did you search the forums or the wiki about your problem??? [03:10] inst it supost work on linux?! [03:10] why i change if i allways use it?! [03:10] dolphin_noel, amsn work, my girlfriend uses it [03:10] dolphin_noel: it should work if you install it correctly i'd imagine [03:10] dolphin_noel: as i've said before I don't know. There's probably a bug in the software. Feel free to go download the source code and look at it and fix it if you want [03:10] dolphin_noel: my mum uses amsn in Ubuntu [03:10] dolphin_noel I USE AMSN and works perfectly in ubuntu [03:10] cbasset1: install libflashsupport [03:10] it seems women like amsn... :) [03:11] with pakeage manager?

And it usually goes great, help a lot of people out. Then i run into people like dolphin_noel who just ruin the experience fo rme [03:11] but you're merely whingeing, and not really addressing the issue [03:11] dolphin_noel, maybe there is an issue with amsn [03:12] dolphin_noel: how are you installing amsn> [03:12] or maybe its PEBCAK [03:12] dolphin_noel: so it works until you start compiz, then chose between compiz or amsn or use pidgin [03:12] Fryguy-- man i just get piss off whith your anwser ... beacuse you ask to me information then i ask you how can i provide you the information you need ... and you dont looks simples dont know ... you dont know ok you dont know you not perect neither i know everything [03:12] just this === administrador is now known as daniel-br [03:12] nathing more [03:12] dolphin_noel: have you looked at bug #190531 in launchpad?

[03:16] plik lol [03:16] dolphin_noel: I've found a solution to this problem in a forum, go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894&package_id=10452 and download your version of tk, in my case tk8.5, untar it and look for a file named tkfbox.tcl , then I replaced the one in /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5 (or whatever version you people have) with the one I downloaded, restart my computer (although I think it's not necessary) and solved [03:16] Fryguy-- man what you think i'm try to doing here all this time?! dah [03:16] best regards. [03:16] just in case you ask, I use hardy 32 bits. [03:16] messiah, firefox 3 is installed by default in ubuntu 8.04 [03:16] it's funny coz it's true [03:16] it says beta version [03:16] dolphin_noel: no idea, when you gave me a full description of the problem i found a solution on google in 5 seconds [03:16] besides, i want to learn how to install stuff anyway, because im new to ubuntu.. and learning all that i can [03:16] !hardysources | messiah (it's in the -updates repository) [03:16] messiah (it's in the -updates repository): In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab.

[03:18] messiah: also, firefox 3 probably came with your distro [03:18] so you really just have to open it [03:18] albuntu: the problem only shows itself when you are changing icon, and only on certain versions of nvidia drivers [03:19] plik but if you guysdont knwo dont know thta ok ... no need to make inventions [03:19] how i start the installer sh from the console?

After "scanning cdrom" it just reboots. I have disabled all extra hardware, there are no cards, just plain ol mb, cpu,memory. I have the alternate cd but it's doing the same. I tried noacpi etc, no go. I ran through the text installer and it craps out on step 5, loading components from cdrom [03:20] plik personal insults don't fly here, and dolphin_noel you've gotten plenty of pointers to ways to do it. Do it [03:21] did you try to leave your router without password and try toi connect then ? [03:21] i think i asked already earlier but didn't catch a response if there was one.. anyone know how to get Unreal Tournament on ubuntu ? [03:21] Brian: you still haven't found a solution? :( [03:21] Brian have you run the disk check on the boot menu? [03:21] Fryguy--, negative [03:21] nickrud: sorry, just changing the triesome in to a bit of fun - no harm done :) [03:21] urand0m: ah, something i can help with! [03:21] no.. its not detecting my wireless card.. my wired connection works.. [03:21] Brian: did you end up looking for a bios update like I suggested the other day? [03:21] Brian check the hash. maybe you havent downloaded all the iso [03:21] nickrud, yes, same happens on the disk check. I did run md5sums and the disk is ok [03:22] messiah: What wireless card do you have? [03:22] urand0m: you have the cd, right? (or cds for the GOTY version) [03:22] Fryguy--, yep, i'm already running the latest bios [03:22] or it has been messed up in the burning proccess [03:22] Brian does any live cd boot? [03:22] atheros wireless ar5007eg [03:22] nickrud, i have only tried the 2 ubuntu disks so far, regular and alternate [03:22] Has anyone else had trouble with the "word count" field in OpenOffice.org since the upgrade? [03:22] - try it ... [03:22] Let me get the link I used. [03:22] Brian scratch that, you got further than what I was thinking brain fart [03:22] Daisuke_Ido, bah.. no i dont'.. i had a rip on my xp partition but i've formatted since.

[03:23] can anyone tell me how to setup evolution with bellsouth.net [03:23] in my network settings: it shows only wired connection and point to point connection [03:23] there's a linux installer, but you still need an original cd [03:23] Brian try to burn the cd at the lower speed possible and in a good quality cd [03:23] - may be your system don't have all libś installed [03:23] afallenhope: use mplayer instead. it will work better [03:23] bah [03:23] Hello [03:23] Fryguy-- Thanks for the help. The problem was the cd drive was bad (or possibly incompatible). Now I have 4 server 8.04 amd 64. Anyone need one? [03:23] messiah: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4930325 [03:23] k i guess i'm out of luck til i burn the cd off my backup [03:23] daniel-br: what do i do? [03:23] messaih what brand of computer are you using [03:23] cbasset1 use the same settings that bellsouth says to use with outlook. [03:23] i'll be back for that eventually :P [03:23] cbasset1>: toshiba laptop [03:23] Fryguy--, okay... but how do I get the playback for .rm files/ [03:23] delster i need one. lol [03:24] afallenhope: you just play them in mplayer [03:24] ah my "brother" I got toshiba but realtek [03:24] albuntu, did that, i actually burned the normal disk twice [03:24] afallenhope you'll need the w32codecs [03:24] toshiba makes good stuff [03:24] afallenhope, install real player: http://www.real.com [03:24] afallenhope: you can try win32codecs if you want, but it's hit and miss for rm stuff [03:24] where do i find the outlook settings [03:24] afallenhope, but realplayer sucks [03:24] http://www.darkarts.co.za/ <-- "...The site you requested is owned by a client of SecureHost...." Is vultures eye/claw dead? [03:24] in the "expert mode" with boot debug=3, i can step through everything, it just reboots as soon as it steps into step 5 [03:25] albuntu: find me on ubuntu forums and pm me if you do. I'll mail it to ya! [03:25] I have a few files that are .rm files ... maybe I should just convert them to avi? [03:25] Fryguy-- lol you got be kiding ... [03:25] ok whatever [03:25] dolphin_noel: have a nice day [03:26] in my first time with wireless card my note can detect my router with it was using password [03:26] :P [03:26] daniel-br: i'll try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4930325 first, if this doesnt work, ill try your method. thanks guys, lets see what i can do haha. [03:26] I have a question, I just downloaded and installed Ubuntu on VMware so bare with me. What is the Ubuntu equivalent of the Window .exe file? [03:26] Brian it happened to me too one time and it was very strange because to my notebook the cd was ok but to my friends notebook it doesnt move the selections in the menu. the last thing i can suggest you is to try to install from an external cdrom or try to change your cdrom or maybe better try that cd to another pc so you are sure to find where is the problem [03:27] I'll have more questions soon, because im a linux newbie hehe [03:27] ubuntu applications don't usually have extensions [03:27] Fryguy-- keep up the good work. Thanks again! Bye! [03:27] Fryguy-- thank you very much you to :) [03:27] napalmdest54 the main executable for a program is in /bin or /usr/bin , but there isn't any .exe equiv, really [03:27] there are exceptions, like python scripts which have .py [03:27] napalmdest54, with unix and linux, there is no extension for executable. they can be no extension, .pl. .py, .sh, etc... they are juste executable [03:27] napalmdest54: applications are stored in /bin /usr/bin /sbin and /usr/sbin typically. executable files often don't have extensions [03:27] mplayer doesn't work for .rm files [03:28] afallenhope: it does [03:28] albuntu, ok yeah, i can try the cd on another machine. I'm fairly sure it's something about the hardware...someone else is having the identical problem with the mini atx version of the mb [03:28] Fryguy--, no it doesn't just tried it. [03:28] how do I change the project size in xsane for a multipage PDF project? it says 0.00 in x 8.62 in no matter what I set the page size to in the preview window [03:28] albuntu, i just don't give up as easily ;-) [03:29] guys, is everything done through the terminal? isnt there GUI ways of doing stuff? not seeing blindly. just would like to know if theres alternatives haha [03:29] Alright thank you all for the quick response. Is it possible to install Windows applications that use the .exe file extension on Ubuntu? [03:29] what program can i use to monitor network connections. used to use netwalk, but apt cant find the package. anything comprable to that available. [03:29] afallenhope: works for me - do you have win32codecs installed? [03:29] Brian lol. me too. its simple to change the board. the difficulty is to find the solution ;-) [03:29] messiah for many things, yes. [03:29] how can i completely switch on/off a wlan (so it will/wont use energy)? :D [03:29] messiah: ubuntu has gui alternatives for a lot of stuff, it's usually easier/faster to just do things in terminal though [03:29] power [03:29] messiah - CLI > GUI... learn it. love it. [03:29] so the terminal is equiv to cmd in windows? [03:29] E: Couldn't find package win32codecs [03:29] messiah: sort of [03:29] messiah - its like the Windows cmd on steroids and viagra and meth and pcp. [03:29] vvd, right vlivk on your network applet and disable wlan [03:29] * nickrud has converted completely to gui for sources.list though [03:30] messiah: the terminal in linux is a lot more flexible and robust for doing things [03:30] albuntu, exactly. particularly annoying when i bought this stuff specifically to upgrade from my older ubuntu 7.10 vmware host [03:30] mindrape: haha excellent [03:30] messiah, terminal is a way better than cmd... [03:30] Is it possible to install windows applications on Ubuntu? [03:30] messiah - I'm not even joking. You can do insane things in the commandline. If you really learn it you can cut down system administration tasks into seconds whereas pointing and clicking around a GUI could take considerably longer. [03:31] napalmdest54, yes, with wine software. [03:31] napalmdest54 some can be run under wine , but otherwise no [03:31] napalmdest54: with wine... www.winehq.org... check the applications database [03:31] napalmdest54: oftentimes it is, there's an application called wine that acts as a comptability layer between linux and windows, it works well usually [03:31] napalmdest54 for example, itunes cannot run under wine [03:31] with wine, does that enable me to use .exe apps like photoshop cs3... windows live messenger.. and winamp? :s [03:31] messiah not cs3 [03:31] I read on Wiki about Wine, that Microsoft will no longer supply updates for computers with Wine [03:31] messiah - if the application is supported then yes. [03:31] how do i make gdm the default manager? [03:31] You can run Photoshop 7 pretty well... never tried CS. [03:31] messiah, not photoshop CS3, but photoshop CS2 work. [03:32] messiah cs2 works [03:32] hmm. ill guess ill just do vmware... and use xp when i want to use it true? haha i think i might b too used to cs3 now lol [03:32] vmware is awesome, I am using it now [03:32] ouellettesr: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+make+gdm+default+manager&btnG=Google+Search [03:32] i prefer virtualbox to vmware, but sure [03:32] does anybody know if cs3 will be supported in future? [03:33] messiah that would work. I have a windows box at work, I run cs3 on it. But do all my real work in an ubuntu vm ;) [03:33] messiah for me gimp is way better than photoshop [03:33] messiah, wine is good. I play counterstrike using wine, and it works pretty well. A little bit slow, but it works... :) [03:33] Gimp is pretty good but a VERY awkward transition from Photoshop in my mind. I personally prefer Photoshop. [03:33] wallo0 does css work? [03:33] : i think im just too used to the photoshop enviroment haha [03:33] messiah i am playing 1.6 now [03:33] indeed [03:34] given enough time you can adapt to anything. [03:34] Photoshop is nice, but video editing in CS3 maxed out my ram. [03:34] comparing wine, photoshop, and etc really belongs on -offtopic [03:34] and it is working perfectly [03:34] system -> Administration -> Users and Groups the add button is grayed out [03:34] 3gb ram [03:34] napalmdest54: you can also look into using a progam called qemu. it is like vmware but free and lets you install and run windows from withing linux. will interface like remote desktop connection. is a little slow at times. but if you do a lot of stuff with windows and programs are not supported by wine it is a good route. wont have to reboot everytime you want to use windows [03:34] is mostly everyone here using ubuntu or... ? [03:34] gpled - you will need to run it with gksudo to get the Add button enabled. [03:34] no were all on gentoo [03:34] i don't use ubuntu [03:34] windows 1.04 here [03:34] actually that was a dumb question lol [03:34] forgot i wasn't in #linux on efnet [03:34] urand0m lol [03:34] wow, thats poor user interface design [03:35] lol urand0m [03:35] gpled: It's for security, it has nothing to do with UI design [03:35] hello, I think I might be running into a problem here.

[03:49] OMG SO EXCITED HAHA [03:49] mvincs: ur laptop is tired [03:49] Guest54567: funny [03:49] Guest54567: the easiest way is to make a separate partition and mount that partition as /home on whatever distro you want [03:49] messiah: What did you end up doing to fix it? [03:50] mvinsc: coulndt help it, it was an opening [03:50] Guest54567: I have my /home on an nfs mount at work and just export it to any machine I use to keep my environment intact on the various machines I work on [03:50] within the .avi file format.... what is the default audio encoding?

[03:51] Fryguy: heheeh sorry slow today [03:52] is there any forums i should sign up 2. hmmm [03:52] if you insist on not making a new partition, you can accomplish what you want using mount binding, but I would recommend just making the new partition, it's going to be a lot easier and cause you a lot less problems [03:52] arooni-mobile: ffmpeg -i test_media/test.MOV -f flv -vcodec flv -b 400kb -s 320x240 -qmin 1 -qmax 31 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ac 1 test_media/test.FLV [03:54] arooni-mobile, avi has no default audio encoding === KinkyBlackGoa_ is now known as KinkyBlackGoat [03:55] Hey folks. Anyone had issues with ubuntu disabling the wireless card when going idle? [03:56] Hi, is it possible to get sound output over pulseaudio from sun-java6-plugin? [03:57] AndrewBC, yes, which is why i always have xchat open to keep the connection from becoming idle - quite unfortunately [03:57] i am trying to assing a domain to my pc or to make it accessible remotely. is it opendns the best way to do this ? can anyone help me in this ? [03:57] albuntu: the easiest way to do it is to use a service like dyndnx [03:58] unop, well, while that might work for you, I personally wouldn't find that a satisfactory solution, nor does it actually prevent it from happening for me anyhow [03:58] unless you are on a business level connection, you don't have control over your own DNS entry, so things like opendns aren't suitable for you [03:59] Fryguy-- its just for testing. i installed lamp in my pc and just wanted to do some tests. no development or stuff like this. [03:59] albuntu, many of those services come with support for a client that can push any ip changes up [03:59] albuntu: so use dyndns [04:00] Fryguy-- ok going to try it thanks. Brian thanks [04:00] albuntu: and keep in mind you are probably violating the TOS of your internet connection, just something to keep in mind :) [04:01] Fryguy-- why would that happen ? :S [04:01] albuntu: ? [04:01] running a server is against TOS for most ISPs [04:01] : but we do it anyway haha [04:02] yes we do [04:02] hence why I have a dual raid5 array in my closet [04:02] that is torrenting hundreds of torrents right now [04:02] Fryguy-- ah ok i understood that. i dont want to run a server just want to try it if it works or not. like 1 or 2 hours [04:03] ok guys. soon i have a question... i want to make my ubuntu look sexy! [04:03] messiah: gnome-look.org [04:03] hi there. Trivial question here. Has anyone changed the colors of their main menu button? [04:03] i prefer to get work done with my OS, but whatever :) [04:03] its an image [04:03] =] [04:04] messiah: also take a look at switching window environments or using just a window manager [04:04] messiah like Fryguy-- said gnome-look.org and it will be more than sexy :P lol [04:04] hello, I think I might be running into a problem here. I am trying to get a program called g15daemon to run on startup by following this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=267118&highlight=g15daemon.

[04:06] there's plenty of options [04:06] I have exim4 installed, how do I change what user the root emails get sent to ? [04:06] mercutio22: you pasted the output of a vi editing session, i have no idea what you are doing [04:07] mercutio22: ask a question, if the question is "did I mess up my sudoers file" then show us the sudoers file and we can check. if you use visudo to edit it (like you are supposed to), then no you didn't mess up the sudoers file [04:07] <|rt|> neil_d: you can do that with /etc/aliases [04:08] <|rt|> neil_d: by default ubuntu sets this to the first account created during the install process [04:08] wish i could see but i cant get flash to wokr [04:09] Fryguy--: Yeah, me too. I was trying to add a line to that "sudoers" file by following that tutorial. I never used vi before. Once I started trying to edit the file nothing happened and I pressed Q totry and quit and that "recording" line appeared. Can you help? [04:09] mercutio22: I can help, what do you want to do [04:10] |rt|: thanks, found it, wasn't having any joy with the exim4 config files. [04:10] Fryguy--: Two things: I want to find out whether I borked the sudoers file and then I want to try and make that g15daemon program run on start up [04:10] mercutio22: if you still have the file open and you are trying to get out of it. just hit q again, and then hit :q! [04:10] mercutio22: if you use visudo to edit the sudoers file, then you can't mess it up [04:10] icons [04:10] vern [04:10] u [04:11] where is my fonts folder [04:11] ket[a]: fonts:// in nautilus [04:11] or /usr/share/fonts, or ~/.fonts for user specific fonts [04:11] thanks [04:11] does windows live messenger work on wine? [04:11] ewww [04:11] messiah: probably [04:11] use pidgin [04:11] Fryguy--: cool, I just read that from the man page. Now... I still can't quit the vi editor...

[04:13] messiah i dont think is possible to install live msn to ubuntu [04:13] messiah: probably [04:13] only been on Ubuntu for a week, XP keeps calling me! lol [04:13] messiah: probably just use a different instant messaging client [04:13] I have a question.. Is there software to help me learn the basics of programming? [04:13] Fryguy--: hmm ok. I had to add "!" after the q. An error message popped up saying nothing had been written [04:13] Ajax_: no [04:13] Fryguy--: i wanna be able to use all the windows live features [04:13] Ajax_: pick a language you want to learn, go buy a book on it, and have fun [04:13] messiah: so then use windows... [04:13] what specifically do you want to do that you can't do right now? [04:14] mercutio22: right [04:14] I want to make the trojans of trojans [04:14] to zombify the internet [04:14] ;) [04:14] Fryguy-- i wanna b able 2 cam n stuff rofl [04:14] Ajax_: good luck with that [04:14] Thanks fryguy [04:14] hello?

[04:15] hello? I changed splashy's theme,but It still show a old picture where it booting. and how? [04:15] but it doesn't go above 1000000 [04:15] mercutio22: hit 'i' [04:15] Fryguy--: c++? [04:15] mercutio22: to put yourself into insert mode, and then you can type like normal [04:15] even if I manually set the govenor to userspace and echo 2000000 to scaling_set_speed manually [04:15] it doesn't change [04:15] ket[a]: not really. done a bit of C somewhat recently [04:15] Fryguy--: got it. Thanks [04:15] is there a log file for cpufreqd somewhere [04:16] python or php?

My line qualifies for high speed (as of today) and my dial up is painfully slow as of this afternoon. (It is a holiday in Canada and my ISP opens tomorrow). Is there a command I can run to find out what my current internet speed is and why it is so slow? [04:16] What is the purpose or use of the epiphany-browser plugin 'console'? [04:16] Fryguy, where should I start? [04:17] test [04:17] anteaya: visit speedtest.net [04:17] hydrogen: if the log isn't in /var/log, then there isn't a log for it [04:17] test [04:17] Fryguy--: I have to assume theres a way to get more verbosity out of the scaling stuff [04:17] as its completely silent now [04:17] my question is, how do I do that [04:17] Hi everyone! Did somebody just have No Sound after installing some Update in the last week? [04:17] video tuts of coding :( thats means no copy & paste [04:18] hi [04:18] hydrogen: no idea sorry [04:18] i tested it myself, it ran the video but had a couple weird bugs here and there, but it worked for the most part [04:18] Anyone has success with flash on 64bit?

[04:20] dont know ill have to check [04:20] hydrogen: looks like there is some talk of a logfile on this mailing list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-laptop/2004/08/msg00245.html [04:20] but the pop up appears and it says i can install adobe flash player and 2 others [04:20] i installed adobe [04:21] Fryguy--, thank you [04:22] Anyone mind helping me fix grub which I have installed to a partition -- from a LiveCD? [04:22] ubunubi: plenty of walkthroughs about how to do that on google. What do you need help with that isn't covered in any of the walkthroughs [04:23] Fryguy :: the 8.04 liveCD seems to map devices differently than the tutorials I've seen [04:23] ubunubi: there's tutorials for how to do it WITH 8.04...

[04:30] hello [04:30] <__yy> Fryguy--: bash is as much a programming language as perl or python... the fact that it's usually used interactively doesn't change that [04:31] Fryguy--: i know what it is... its the same as running repeated comands in the temrinal but with the number of languages one of them should be close to bash [04:31] Fryguy-- ok i am trying with portforwarding but what port to forward and where to forward it ? thank you [04:31] __yy: is bash script even turing complete? [04:31] ugh my stupid login sound won't stop playing how do I get it to stop? :o [04:31] albuntu: if you are using http, port 80 [04:31] somebody know with port IRC uses? [04:31] Are there packaged kernels optimized for Core Duo or other specific CPU's? [04:31] ok i guess this is moving to offtopic [04:31] lfporto: 6666 usually, sometimes 6667 and 6668 [04:31] lfporto 6667 [04:31] Fryguy--, to say bash has nothing in common with programming languages is a bit stretched -- it does have conditionals, loops, variables, stacks, arrays, etc [04:31] tx [04:31] <[T]an1> how can i also clear the history of totem and mplayer? [04:31] <__yy> Fryguy--: without calling internal programs... possibly not, I don't know. but the point of bash is to stitch together external programs anyway so that's somewhat of a moot point [04:32] <__yy> s/internal/external/ [04:32] lfporto 6667 [04:32] i am getting a 'broken packages' when trying to install ubuntu-xen-server .. it is looking for python-xen and xen-utlis but wont install them [04:32] pkirchner: nope maybe a server kernel but thats the close your going to get [04:32] lfporto /etc/services is always handy [04:32] __yy: right, it's purpose is as a shell script to facilitate command line usage, it's not a programming language [04:32] Fryguy--, I didn't think you were going to get away with that bash comment... [04:32] [T]an1: yes, somewhere in your home directory, try .mplayer for mplayer, no idea where totem would be [04:32] <__yy> Fryguy--: I think you're missing the point here... bash provides a programming language designed for interactively controlling you computer [04:32] FRYGUY: How do I install Python-2.5.2.tar.bz2. [04:33] Ajax_: apt-get install python? [04:33] may be in a gstreamer folder if there is not totem directory [04:33] FRYGUY: That works, But I have the .tar on my desktop [04:33] Ajax_: so delete it [04:33] __yy: ok [04:33] must I do it from terminal [04:33] Ajax_: no [04:33] then back to my question [04:33] Fryguy--, i guess the guys in #bash will disagree with you and might even prove you wrong - they consider bash to be turing complete- and i've also seen a guy write quite complex CGI scripts in it [04:34] :) [04:34] Ajax_: back to what question [04:34] somebody know how to use Stunnel? To make a secure IRC conection (encrypted)? Thanks a lot!!! [04:34] FRYGUY: How do I install Python-2.5.2.tar.bz2. [04:34] Ajax_: python is in the ubuntu repositories, you install it just like you install any other piece of software [04:34] TV Recording using a tv card, what solutions provide good quality recording? [04:34] unop: wonderful [04:34] __yy: i dont use it interactive most of the time if i was going to give it varibles i would just run the commands my self [04:34] anyone use gvim in here? [04:35] unop: i never said it wasn't turing complete, i was asking if it was or not, i wasn't sure [04:35] perlsyntax: i use vim, not gvim, care to ask a question? [04:35] perlsyntax: I know as much about vim as you are going to expect to find on irc, so just try (or join #vim and try there) [04:35] Is there a problem to write/record files in an NTFS partition while in the ext2 one? I tried to resize my partitions and a error occured that disable the partition from windows desktop, it lost the letter and i when i tried to marge them or resize many cluster errors occur. Any ideia why it happened and how to fix? [04:35] Fryguy--, well, i'll personally tend to say it is _almost_ turing complete -- many consider it to be [04:35] <__yy> Jester45: what? [04:35] FRYGUY: How do I install something If i have it on my desktop? ...make install? [04:36] __yy: the times i do make the scripts interactive is because others will be using them [04:36] Ajax_: just delete the file from your desktop and install python like you would install any other piece of software [04:36] something less ambiguous [04:36] __yy: most of my bash scripts are not interactive [04:36] By the way... How do I get the Suspend and Hibernat function do work on my xubuntu (using laptop)? [04:36] Ajax_, python should be installed by default if you run gnome or KDE === Elixer is now known as Litx [04:36] If you-all have any suggestion on my borked sd card could you pm me .. it is past my bedtime (way way past) [04:36] onisciente: that happens when you dont stop the drive or shut down correctly [04:37] <__yy> Jester45: This has nothing to do with your scripts... [04:37] Fine, i relent. [04:37] <__yy> Jester45: when you navigate around your computer using bash you are interactively using a programming language [04:37] Ajax_: common sense and basic intuition are necessary skills as a programmer, get used to it [04:37] Jester45: hmm, how can i fix it? [04:37] unop: You were right, Fryguy just gave me the runaround . [04:38] Ajax_, easy [04:38] How do I compile xmame? [04:38] how is "install it from the ubuntu repository, the package name is python" the runaround? lol [04:38] Is it normal to have 2 GDM instances? [04:38] webcamwonder: no [04:38] webcamwonder, not normally [04:38] unop, I already knew about apt-get. but what if I had something not in the reps. I wanted to know how to install it form scratch [04:39] Fryguy--, great that is why my pc is getting sluggish.. :( [04:39] Ajax_: 1. that wasn't what you asked 2. the standard way to install a linux program is ./configure ; make ; sudo make install; [04:39] Ajax_, the precise procedure should be documented in the source packages README or INSTALL file [04:39] How can I compile a program from a tar.bz2 archive? [04:39] i am getting a 'broken packages' when trying to install ubuntu-xen-server .. it is looking for python-xen and xen-utlis but wont install them [04:39] is anyone familiar with speedstep and cpu-freq? [04:39] connor see Fryguy-- just above ;) [04:39] Ajax_ How to install anything in Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [04:39] fryguy, here my question with this error message [04:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846281 [04:39] Anyone knows a workaround to preventing 2 GDM instacnes? [04:39] guys please, Fryguy-- said 1 little thing trying to help some one else and everyone else has taken it and run with it and veered everthing away from the original problem/question, move on! Fryguy-- is trying to help ppl here and you are messing with him and getting others off-topic [04:39] Thank you, Jack_Sparrow [04:40] any ideas [04:40] Ajax_, mostly it's as Fryguy-- just said -- but it could vary -- so it's best to always read the README or INSTALL file and use the instructions documented there [04:40] perlsyntax_: you need to install perl it looks like [04:40] i got perl install [04:40] Fryguy--, perl is always installed by default :) [04:40] perlsyntax_: then you'll have to read the documentation for the plugin you are using to point it to perl correctly, because it is looking in the wrong location for it [04:41] unop: i don't run ubuntu, i don't know these things [04:41] perlsyntax_ the answer was given in the thread [04:41] how do i change the path? [04:41] Hi, I'm trying to update ubuntu but I'm getting this error: [04:41] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [04:41] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [04:41] perlsyntax_ you would need to edit some of the source. What are you trying to install? [04:41] Fryguy--, perl isn't critical to ubuntu -- it's critical to almost every distro that is out there [04:41] hardandy: did you run the command? [04:41] Ok, this is odd, I also have two instances of smbd and gdm :| [04:41] perlsyntax_: read the documentation for perl-support and edit the configuration for it accordginly [04:41] yes [04:41] hardandy, then run the command prefixed with sudo [04:41] hey everyone, i'm using Ubuntu Ulitimate it uses Gnome.. whats the one command in apt-get that will install the entire kde desktop? [04:41] hardandy run sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal [04:41] perl-support.zip from vim.org [04:41] I did [04:41] perlsyntax_, what does this command give you? perl -le 'print for @INC' [04:42] hardandy: you ran it w/ sudo?

[04:42] nope [04:42] lfporto You will need to take a close look at your video card as those drivers are often the problem with hibernate and suspend [04:42] whats the apt-get command to get all of kde desktop [04:42] Ok, this is odd, I also have two instances of smbd and gdm :|, is this a known bug? [04:42] if you were using ubuntu proper [04:42] and wanted kde [04:42] binskipy2u, get the real deal from www.ubuntu.com then we can talk [04:43] WHATWS UPPPP PEOPLE [04:43] ok ill ask again [04:43] if i installed ubuntu 8.04 [04:43] caps andy_ [04:43] perlsyntax_ change line 243 to /usr/share/perl/5.8 [04:43] you jack i seen you before somewhere [04:43] binskipy2u: just install kde-desktop [04:43] and wanted kde [04:43] whats the word [04:43] how do i do that [04:43] how do i fix broken packages ?

[04:43] hardandy did you delete it? your machine won't boot without [04:44] perl -l woork don't work witjh -e [04:44] I didn-t delete it [04:44] I have 2.6.24-17-generic and 2.6.24-18-generic but not 2.6.24-17-generic [04:44] unop: that's not the problem, the script by default seems to look in a non-ubuntu location for perl (bsd location it looks like) [04:44] perlsyntax_, did you even try this?? -e and -l work fine together [04:44] or a localy compiled version [04:44] but with ubunto 8.04 it works... only with xubunt it doesn't.... very estrange.... [04:44] when i insall perl i dont see it on my Applications list why ???? anyone ? [04:44] but not 2.6.24-16-generic [04:45] andy_: same reason you don't see bash under applications [04:45] hardandy run sudo dpkg --configure -a , and put the complete output on paste.ubuntu.com [04:45] <__yy> andy_: open a terminal and type "perl" ... what do you see? [04:45] what's it like in Antelope Ca [04:45] andy_: perl is a programming language, it's not an "application" [04:45] Fryguy--, well, that shouldn't be an issue, it is looking for somthing in all of the standard perl directories [04:45] <__yy> Fryguy--: it's _both_ [04:45] andy_ it's a terminal app, not a gui [04:45] !ot > Ajax_ [04:45] Ajax_, please see my private message [04:45] just a blank screen [04:46] is that it ?

[04:46] __yy: notice the quotes around application. If you'd like me to be overly pedantic about every response I give, I'll be glad to, otherwise, feel free to fill in the answers with multi paragraph explanations yourself [04:46] so i just got a machine w/ 8gb of ram ... is there any distro based off of ubuntuy w/ the philosophy of : everything in memory, the hard disk is used only for persistent storage? (goikng for a really silent machine and also everything in ram) [04:46] andy_ clearly you don't understand what perl is. I think some wikipedia/google is in your future.

I have an xbox 360 controller that I've connected via usb and I'm wanting to use it, is there some place I can go to configure it or do I need to download something? [04:48] G3N: go to bios and configure it to boot from cdrom [04:48] Bidget, for zsnes or other [04:48] <__yy> Fryguy--: I admit, I missed the context for that... I see what you were saying now. [04:48] bazhang, zsnes [04:48] Bidget, do it in the zsnes set up window [04:48] bazhang, I'm just wondering if there's a control panel type place that I can go to connect it up whatever [04:48] i only see A/ C/:, C/: and like a AAC DVDC/: [04:48] unop, what you think [04:48] bazhang, that's all? ubuntu will detect the controller fine and everything? [04:49] Bidget, zsnes does for mine; never tried with xbox controller though--->cheapo usb ps2 knockoff controller here [04:49] G3N, look for "boot from USB device" [04:49] perlsyntax_, looks like you have some directories in your @INC that don't exist - i'd like you to paste the contents of at /home/perlsyntax/.vim/perl-support/scripts/pmdesc3.pl [04:49] bazhang: here is a forum thread about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588955 [04:49] thanks undadecor [04:49] .. in boot menu i dont see anything like that [04:49] bazhang, alright well we'll see what happens. Also, is zsnes in the repos? can I just do sudo apt-install zsnes or something [04:50] Fryguy-- i tried to enable DMZ in my router. added my computer ip but it keeps getting me to the router and not to my localhost [04:50] Bidget, yes it is :) [04:50] I have two instances of smbd and gdm , is this a known bug and is there a workaround?

I love ubuntu! :D [04:50] unop, how do i do that [04:50] albuntu__: then read the manual for your router to set it up correctly then [04:50] G3N: Do you see anything about booting USB devices? [04:50] When I go to System>Preferences>Screen resolution I only see the 50hz refresh rate, but nVidia server shows 59 though it doesn't actually change from 50 [04:50] m_newton_, please adjust your away message to quiet [04:50] Fryguy-- ok thanks [04:50] Is there a way to get that working?

[04:52] is there a way for thunderbird to somehow transmit rss feeds to another computer running thunderbird, the same sorta thing as imap? [04:52] bazhang, damn I wish compiz was more stable I love all the effects :( [04:52] Ajax_: no idea [04:52] Ajax_, please refrain from offtopic here [04:52] it has been posted to a few sites [04:52] the version on the internet is pretty outdated though [04:52] !ot > Ajax_ [04:52] i haven't updated it in a year or so [04:52] can someone help please? It stops usually on scsi cd detection [04:52] Ajax_, please see my private message [04:53] ok [04:53] lets take resume chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:53] bazhang, whats that shortcut to bring up the run command box again?

[04:54] do wha? [04:54] u mean reset factory? [04:54] hardandy Please post a description of the problem when you post a link [04:54] bazhang, both computers would be net connected [04:54] Jack_Sparrow I asked him for it [04:54] the laptop also connects to the desktop via a vpn as well [04:55] G3N, look for "restore defaults" in bios, worth a shot [04:55] nickrud np.. scrolled back and didnt see that [04:55] bazhang, trying to install zsnes with command sudo apt-get install zsnes (I'm pretty sure that's the right command, correct me if I'm wrong) and it says package zsnes has no installation candidate, any idea what's up?

[05:03] nickrud, I forgot to mention I'm accessing the server remotely. I'm using nx client. I gonna do what you said above [05:04] perlsyntax_, ok, how exactly? that's important [05:04] Bidget, you have mixed gutsy-backports with hardy repos [05:04] sparky_, have you looked here? [05:04] bazhang, that doesn't sound good...

[05:05] or a lower level configuration [05:05] sparky_, my bad, link didnt paste 1st time and i hit enter [05:05] tyler_, that is likely too small for all the wine games unless they are on your windows partition [05:05] not in the applet [05:05] Bidget, yes [05:05] Lol it's ok [05:05] nickrud, I can-t find Software sources.

[05:06] how about a external [05:06] Bidget, yes [05:06] bazhang, alright cross your fingers :D [05:06] hardandy, it is in system admin software sources [05:06] hardandy I was assuming you were using a gui on a local machine. Take a look at aphroneo.net, there's some hardy sources there.

[05:47] Shane__ check the disk first. Often you have to burn them very slowly. If it fails, run an md5sum check on the downloaded iso before you try to burn again [05:47] <__yy> Kelen: a second grep [05:47] ey guys [05:47] cyphase, when you compile it and install it [05:47] i got a problem [05:47] nickrud, i think perlsyntax might be an annoying troll [05:47] the settings in lts.conf won't recognized in LTSP-chroot (i386) both server + client-fs [05:47] malang [05:47] ??

[05:49] unop it works ;) [05:49] __yy: i just wanna grep out 2 words in different line.. [05:49] people can only read whats on the screen [05:49] Kelen: egrep "word1|word2" [05:49] <__yy> Kelen: so you want to grep for any line containing "A" or "B"? [05:50] is it safe to use the package "nvidia-glx-new-envy"? [05:50] __yy, i think she means -- any line containing A or B not A and B [05:50] the word envy brings back memories of fubar'ing my system back a year or two [05:50] from that cursed program [05:50] <__yy> oh that's brutal... :\ [05:50] anybody answer my question? [05:50] dfgas: no one gets back from afk and scans the chatlog of the last hour [05:50] !envyng | fooks [05:50] fooks: 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. [05:51] hi, how can i uninstall grub or otherwise render a drive unbootable? [05:51] __yy, coz i did suggest grep "foo|bar" .. an hour ago, but he/she didn't have any of it [05:51] dfgas: nobody i kow of ;) [05:51] __yy: no, for example: line 1 " xxxxxxxxxxxsomexxxxxx" and line 2 "xxxxxxxxhixxxxxx" so i wanna grep out the 2 words === gadis is now known as co_a3 [05:51] nickrud, and the other option is just going to the nvidia website and compiling the newest driver yourself? [05:51] Kelen: like i said, egrep "word1|word2" [05:51] fooks yep. [05:51] how do i install 32-bit libraries on a 64-bit machine? [05:51] BusyBox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) built-in shell (ASH) enter 'help' for a list of build-in commands? fryguy help! [05:52] nickrud, the latter is what i think i shall do [05:52] just download the 32 bit iso and install it as you normally would [05:52] fooks I've seen people have good luck with envyng-gtk, and the developer is quick to respond to bug reports [05:52] Fryguy--: your way just like egrep 'word1 |word2" [05:52] Kelen, echo -e "xxxxfooxxxxxxx\nxxxxxxxxbarxxxxxxxx" | grep -o -E "(bar|foo)" [05:52] Kelen: that's exactly what i just said [05:52] can somone hlep me with accessing data on a ntfs drive in 6.06? [05:52] ------ what file system should i set the partition to before installing ubuntu? [05:52] Kelen: cat filename | grep some && cat filename | grep hi [05:52] !iso [05:52] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [05:53] cypherdelic, useless use of cat :) just do grep "phrase" filename [05:53] dqb i dont believe ntfs-3g is available on 6.06 [05:53] Shane__: ubuntu uses ext3 normaly but can use some others too [05:53] metatron thanks [05:53] unop whatevver it works [05:54] cypherdelic, funny way of getting it to work - i have to admit [05:54] unix, the toolbox of geeks [05:54] cypherdelic: i know this way, but i know have another easier.. [05:54] Kelen, is this what you are after? echo -e "xxxxfooxxxxxxx\nxxxxxxxxbarxxxxxxxx" | grep -o -E "(bar|foo)" [05:54] Kelen: you've already been given the solution, what is the problem [05:54] is there a driver I can load that will allow me to transfer data from a ntfs drive to a fat 32? [05:54] unop hehe so: grep filename some && grep filename hi? [05:55] dqb: just create a fat32 partition and then copy the data over to it [05:55] where can i add some startup commands for all users, needs root privleges, before x start for some commands, after x starts for all users if possible [05:55] cypherdelic, wrong order :) [05:55] I am using transcode to record from my tv card in mjpeg format, but the files becomes huge. How do I compress better? [05:55] Kelen do you want the HOLE line displayed or just how often the word is found? [05:55] cypherdelic, grep foo filename && grep bar filename -- better written as grep "foo|bar" filename [05:55] guys... i rebooted my computer after i was installing mac4lin... and i got this error message on reboot >> BusyBox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) built-in shell (ASH) enter 'help' for a list of build-in commands? [05:56] Metatron, use the /etc/rc.local file [05:56] can gparted reduce the size of a ntfs partition if it cannot access the drive(someting about permissions)? [05:56] dqb: need to run gparted as root [05:56] OK, everyone for me favor, for example, info from operation "aptitude show ssh", i wanna grep out "State" and "Version" [05:56] unop ok ill into that, does that load before or after X, and does it have root permisions [05:56] dqb: gksu gparted === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [05:57] Metatron, it is a script -- so all you need to do is add your command at the end of the file -- before the exit statement at the end [05:57] Is there an option do update ubuntu with delta packages? Sort of like works with Fedora, that downloads only the changes in a package, and not the entire thing all over again? [05:57] Kelen: aptitude show ssh | egrep "State|Version" [05:57] Kelen: so you dont want to grep the Word Versiion but THE versionnumber? [05:57] Kelen: how many times are you going to ask this question and get it answered, this is pretty annoying at this point [05:57] Metatron, it runs the same time as the DM is loading -- it is run by init, therefore is run as root [05:57] !grub [05:57] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:57] !grub | messiah [05:57] messiah: please see above [05:57] how can i get ubuntu to detect my new video card? [05:57] !!grub [05:57] i still thinks i have the older crappy one [05:57] i assume grep displays always the hole line doesnt it [05:58] fooks: it does automatically [05:58] cypherdelic unless you use the -o or -c option [05:58] ow do I login as root on the live cd? [05:58] ok [05:58] cypherdelic or some other esoteric option. [05:58] nickrod: ok cool thats good for scripting ;) [05:58] dqb sudo -i [05:58] Fryguy--, nuh uh, the sh .run file i just got from the nvidia website says the new fancy shmancy drivers won't run on the "xxx old card i have", which means ubuntu thinks its running my old one [05:58] Kelen: if you want just the information without the label, try: aptitude show ssh | egrep "State|Version" | awk '{print $2}' [05:59] Kelen, aptitude show ssh | grep -iEo "state(.*)|version(.*)" [05:59] fooks: why are you running a file from nvidias website? [05:59] the drivers are in ubuntus repository [05:59] Fryguy--: got it,, thank you, i was wrong with format " A | B" [05:59] Fryguy--, not the newest ones [05:59] fooks: run lspci and see if the new card is in there [05:59] Fryguy-- nice one [05:59] fooks: probably more than half of the people in this channel have an nvidia card running under ubuntu, so you'll have to be a bit more specific about the problem you are having [06:00] edonkey maybe [06:00] Kelen: try paying attention next time [06:00] Fryguy--, my card won't render 800x600 resolution [06:00] its a geforce 7300 gt [06:00] i suspect its a driver issue [06:00] fooks: it's not [06:00] Fryguy--: of course,, thanks [06:00] wont render 800x600 thats quite sad [06:00] Fryguy--, perhaps...but my driver is also outdated! so im led to believe this given my limited knowledge [06:01] fooks: it's not the driver. Ubuntu doesn't stay cutting edge with most pieces of software [06:01] the default driver implimented from the repo is somewhat old [06:01] Fryguy--, what would you suggest? given my resolution woes? [06:01] its keep me from playing doom 3 [06:01] fooks: a properly configured xorg file [06:01] fooks: does lspci contain your new card ? also what driver are you using vesa / nv / wrong nvidia one? [06:02] Fryguy--, true [06:02] quite a few people (including myself), have played various games at several resolutions other than our native desktop resolution [06:02] Jester45, yeah, it does, it actually shows both [06:02] hi [06:02] fooks: maybe thats the problem, is your old card in the computer still? [06:02] what is command of suspend in ubuntu 8.04? [06:02] Jester45, its using a new nvidia driver [06:02] how to install ubuntu base system from ubuntu cd? [06:03] Jester45, hahaha [06:03] anyone know this? [06:03] Fryguy-- i installed and configured ddclient. i forwarded port 80 in my router but it still keeps taking me to my router and not to my localhost folder [06:03] Jester45, perhaps! [06:03] X( [06:03] albuntu__: then you aren't forwarding the port [06:03] fooks: hahaha what? you can have more than 1 video card installed [06:03] albuntu__: does your router need to be rebooted when port forwarding changes have been made to it [06:03] Is nobody know what is command of suspend in terminal? [06:04] Jester45, i suspect this as well [06:04] !repeat | kim [06:04] kim: 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 [06:04] albuntu__, you might also need to disable the router from listening on port 80 [06:04] I want suspend computer by command in terminal [06:04] Fryguy-- what an idiot. i forgot to reboot. lol. thank you just going to try it now [06:04] but i don't have any idea [06:04] !ubuntu base system [06:04] ragsagar: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:04] unop: got to last bit and getting error: http://pastie.org/226054 [06:04] unop what do you mean to disable ? and how can i do it ? [06:05] ok, thanks ubottu [06:05] albuntu__: don't listen to him [06:05] aside from taking out the old card (which yes, i did leave in) ill come back if issues persist? [06:05] unop: i thought it still might've worked, but the version hasn't changed [06:05] does anyone know how to view my ntfs harddrives with ubuntu? [06:05] albuntu__, differs from router to router -- most models allow you to disable listening for admin connections on the WAN side or simply to disable listening on port 80 [06:05] im very new [06:05] fooks: ive seem someone with 3 video cards in 2 pci and 1 agp and had the monitor in the wrong card, they though all 3 would work together (i dont think this is your problem) but you mught of forgot to remove the old if its in a diffrent slot [06:05] Fryguy--, what do you mean "don't listen to him" >? [06:06] gus_gus386: works out of the box in ubuntu, do you have a specific problem? [06:06] thorny_sun, i'm looking now [06:06] !ntfs > gus_gus386 [06:06] gus_gus386, please see my private message [06:06] unop: stopping the router from listening on port 80 doesn't make any sense. routers dont' listen on ports, they forward packets [06:06] can I please have some help with a bittorrent issue [06:06] I am very new to ubuntu [06:06] miles_: ask a question, don't ask to ask [06:06] Jester45, brb,, going to turn off the comp and take the old card out [06:06] how to install just the ubuntu base system? [06:06] I just want to use bit torrent, how do you open it and make it work [06:07] sorry fr guy [06:07] ragsagar: probably the easiest way is to use the server install cd [06:07] is there a program for calling telephones?? [06:07] okay...... i have a client on my computer [06:07] scifiguy951: skype might do what you need [06:07] ragsagar: when you start the alt installer press f4 (i think) and choose command-line only [06:07] Fryguy--, in the classical definition of a router - that is true -- but how do you expect to be able to administer a router if it isn't going to have a ssh or http connection open - think about it [06:07] miles_: so you run the program and use it, just like any other program [06:07] i can call land lines and such with that??

[06:09] Fryguy--: not to gang up on you but my has the option do to that (i keep it disabled) [06:09] unop: if you can find a router that has it enabled by default i would be surprised [06:09] Jester45: sure, and it's disabled by default on every router === tyler_ is now known as pornlover [06:09] so it's not a problem for him unless he specifically turned it on for some reason [06:09] unop: but it looks like it already created it-- my dir listing: http://pastie.org/226057 [06:09] Fryguy--, i just told you -- mine does, and by default -- which is why i suggest he check it out too [06:10] unop: what router [06:10] miles_ a bittorrent client is needed to download torrents to your computer so if you want to download a torrent you can open the torrent file with it. if not you dont need it [06:10] that really bad router unop [06:10] i cant remove the iso i just mounted by doing a umount "device is busy" how do I fix that?

[06:24] tarelerulz, afaik, there is no way to unrar a file to stdout to use in a pipeline [06:24] raj: gcc [06:24] raj.. google [06:24] raj: we already answered you, install build-essential [06:24] miles, Azureus is good program ,but take way more to set up then any other client I have ever used. Utorrent is just as good and deluge or some other client it better to me [06:24] thank you [06:24] utorrent is great [06:24] albuntu: you have misconfigured your router is what you've done wrong [06:24] raj, sudo aptitude install build-essential [06:25] but it isnt for ubuntu unless you use parallels or wine right? [06:25] Does anyone know if there is a regular in here that will be in later that knows about this bluetooth stuff? [06:25] SubOne: no [06:25] Fryguy-- there is no misconfiguration. everything is ok. i checked them [06:25] Thank you for your help and your patience [06:25] albuntu, did you check to see if your router is listening on the WAN interface? [06:25] albuntu: if there is no misconfiguration, then it works.. [06:25] no guy or no you dont know [06:25] Does anyone know if there is a regular that can help with wireless connection problems in ubuntu 8.04? [06:25] SubOne: both [06:25] Sorry for being so confused [06:25] Does anyone know how to reset video drivers to the ones that were running when linux was installed?

[06:28] wish unix had working rivatuner [06:28] i am keeping up... jes noone here knows anything about wireless? [06:28] DankTank3: its jsut part of irc and the reason you shouldnt !enter or !repeat [06:28] hyougin: there should be a backup of your xorg.conf in /etc/X11 [06:28] Sorry, a newbie question. I'm looking at free -m right now, and it says under used for swap 20mb. But for free under buffers/cache, I have 187mb. Does this mean that 20mb was used at some point but is not necessarily being used now? [06:28] Wine was no help with rivatuner because of the memory i/o mapping, just will not work [06:28] Fryguy-- do i have to enable dmz even if i have done the port forwarding ? and i havent ever activated remote administration in the past. [06:28] enter or repeat what? [06:28] eh? [06:28] unop: is intrepid horribly unstable? [06:28] manguy: it's probably being used now [06:28] Ah.

[06:29] jester45, if you are going to correct me, at least explain what you mean [06:29] I read about adding "coolbits 1" to x11org.conf Fry guy [06:29] <[TIM]Indyroo> http://www.zdaemon.org/ [06:29] <[TIM]Indyroo> :) [06:29] are you familiar with such [06:29] thorny_sun, well, it depends on how you use it really - it's still alpha (i beleive) for a reason [06:29] i tried adding, but have to rebuild x11 file [06:29] manguy: it mean that 20mb of real memory has been swaped out but still "inuse" by some program the buffers/cache is old swap that isnt needed or used right now [06:29] Does anyone know how to reset video (graphic card) drivers to the ones that were running when linux was installed? [06:29] DankTank3: nobody knows anything about your specific wireless setup in here, but google certainly does. I'm sure you have a well documented wireless card [06:30] hyougin: i just told you, there should be a backup xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ [06:30] thorny_sun, well, have a look at apt-pinning - it allows you to use a mixed system i.e. hardy/intrepid (but be warned, this needs to be done properly( [06:30] ) [06:30] google is going to charge me if i search for this anymore [06:30] lol [06:30] I tried the backup [06:30] i have combed it thoroughly [06:30] it wouldnt work [06:30] i tried a fresh one [06:30] wouldnt work [06:30] hyougin why not try Envy [06:30] i did sudo apt install build-essential but its giving like....

[06:30] everything i have tried has failed [06:30] but thanks for at least telling me something [06:30] :) [06:30] raj you have synaptic open [06:30] DankTank3: if that is the case, then you probably have a card that doesn't work in linux, and maybe you should consider spending a little bit of money and just buy a card that has good linux support and save yourself some time [06:30] it should work, or go into synaptic and uninstall, then reboot and then go into recovery mode [06:30] raj, close down synaptic or adept or whatever else you have open [06:31] raj close synaptic and try again [06:31] recover x11 [06:31] i did work b4 [06:31] hyougin: use envyng [06:31] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846906 <-for anyone who has a minute or two to spare. pls & ty [06:31] Jester45: Ah, ok I understand.

[06:31] thats what is so frustrating [06:31] yes [06:31] raj: so make sure you aren't installing anything else or have the package manager open [06:31] i tried ng as well [06:31] then use the unbuntu driver manager [06:31] Fryguy-- do i have to enable dmz even if i have done the port forwarding ? and i havent ever activated remote administration in the past.

[06:31] DankTank3: i wasnt correcting just saying the reason we dont like !enter or !repeaters is because it can get really hard to keep up for new users getting help, if they are trying to run a program look back at the chat and we are aready 3 pages farther down he/she can get confused [06:31] albuntu, check that remote administration is disabled [06:31] Fryguy-- ok than where is the misconfiguration because dmz is disabled [06:32] free porn [06:32] unop remote administration is disabled and was never enabled [06:32] albuntu: the virtual server then [06:32] np jester45... im sorry [06:32] hello to all [06:32] easiest way to be seen is cuss :P [06:32] u want porn [06:32] i keed, i keed [06:32] ``Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!`` - I`m getting this problem.

[06:38] xsmatt81_: like i said, i don't know === emo is now known as Guest98211 [06:38] ok i think i will try the console version [06:39] xsmatt81_: i have no idea, i don't overclock my nvidia card, and i don't run ubuntu, i'm probably not much help to you [06:39] why are you in a unbuntu channel then? [06:39] cypherdelic: people always get me confused with cypher :) [06:40] xsmatt81_: just helping people out [06:40] i should ask you guys a question lol, but i'm sure nobody will know the answer :/ [06:41] I go to #nvclock on irc.freenode.ne === emo is now known as Guest2145 [06:41] laters [06:41] ask anyways [06:41] Ramzi: it's not really ubuntu related [06:41] although very little of the questions asked in here are ubuntu related === Guest2145 is now known as radil_vandestaaa [06:41] i can't connect to our network using wlan. but iwconfig shows our network settings like link quality. can you help me? this is iwconfig output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24399/ [06:41] gdo_: the all mighty linux god is mad (aka Tux) [06:41] yeah... I know [06:41] allot of general questions [06:41] msshams: did you set the key right if you need it [06:42] so you are allowed to ask jeje [06:42] eh [06:43] Jester45: our network don't use any key or password. my brother laptop works fine with wlan. but my laptop with same preferences doesn't work. [06:43] how do i rorate my screen using xrandr} [06:43] Jester45: ubuntu detects wlan. and i can see network settings with iwconfig or wicd. but can't connect [06:44] i use command line vim in an xterm compatible term with mouse reporting. I use set mouse=a to get better mouse behavior in terminal, but this also intercepts clipboard events, which is undesirable when I am working remotely. I have played around with various settings for clipboard (including clipboard= and clipboard=unnmaed) but I am unable to get terminal copy/paste to work like it normally would outside of vim. Any ideas [06:45] Jester45: can you help me? [06:45] Ramzi: take your best shot lol [06:45] msshams: no sorry that was just a guess i dont use wireless [06:46] fryguy: :# [06:47] Hi all [06:47] no idea [06:47] im trying to get ltsp going, i want to update the client tree offline (on dialup), i have an iso with my packages i want to use, when i chroot to the client build, i can't mount the iso as /proc/partitions don't exist in the temp root, so no sda2 listed, now can i mount the iso's inside the ltsp client when chrooted into it? [06:48] how can i that is not now can i [06:48] From grub, i have changed my vga= parameter and for some reason my usplash resolution is effected. Why is this happening, I haven't made any changes to /etc/usplash.conf [06:48] rmm.. i'm installing ubuntu 8.04 onto my old desktop PC via the alternative text based installer - at maybe 2% or 3% i rcv'd an error msg telling me that something like packages.gz ors omething was corrupted [06:48] but the install continued... think it'll be ok ? [06:48] nano_: usplash runs in framebuffer before X runs, so any changes to console resolution will affect it [06:49] rand0m: no [06:49] 2 rand0m - check md5 sum [06:49] Fryguy--, but then what is the point of having /etc/usplash.conf file? what does this having this file accomplish? [06:49] nano_: no idea. I don't use usplash so I don't know what's in that file [06:49] it's probably a configuration used for the image to display/ [06:50] maybe someone can help me here... for instance in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist when i do something more than once the next command is put in quotes (i.e. device and the "device) why is that, and does it need to be there when it is in quotes like that? [06:50] KORG, im pretty new to ubuntu (and linux).. not sure what you meant by that [06:50] ... "device" [06:50] DankTank3: "do something" ? can you be a little more specific? [06:50] rand0m: no it won't be OK. check your disc to make sure it's ok and redownload/reburn if necesary [06:50] is xmms not in the repos for 8.04? [06:51] well i blacklist my default driver [06:51] Fryguy--, you don't use usplash....i guess it might teach a person something from looking at those messages fly by during boot [06:51] and i have done this several times [06:51] and everytime i do it [06:51] Fryguy--, i take your word for it.. out of ignorant faith though, i'm going to let it finish installing and see if it even comes close to working [06:51] after the original time [06:51] though i don't doubt you [06:51] it put the blacklisted device in quotes [06:51] does that make sense? [06:51] nano_: none of the *nix machines I run have a monitor plugged into them, nor are they ever rebooted [06:52] 2 rand0m - please read this manual - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [06:52] DankTank3: "after the original time" ? after a reboot? after you edit the file? while you are editing the file? [06:52] Fryguy--, thnx [06:52] thanks KORG [06:53] in terminal i deliver a command such as this: echo “blacklist ath_pci” | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:53] hello [06:53] Hey all, I am trying to setup the cube in CompizConfig (or rather the shortcuts used for the cube) and I see the shortcut options and a lot of them say something similar to ctrl+alt+button1, ctrl+alt+button2 etc. Where exactly are the settings for "button1 and button2" [06:53] DankTank3: yah that's the wrong way to be doing that heh [06:54] Gumby: mouse buttons [06:54] and the first time i did it,in that txt file it says: blacklist ath_pci [06:54] after a reboot and i do it again, it is in quotations [06:54] yeah... got another error while trying to configure apt [06:54] balls., that was my last cdr lol [06:54] wrong way? [06:54] i have a quick question [06:54] that was step one [06:55] think it'd work trying to boot it from a memory stick in a psp via USB ? [06:55] i wanna dual-boot vista and ubuntu [06:55] Fryguy--: you sure? cause none of those shortcuts seems to work (and mouse buttons generally only have 3 buttons + scroll, not 6 alt+button6) [06:55] DankTank3: echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:55] that is the command i should use? [06:55] Gumby: 3 buttons + scroll = 5 buttons (scroll up and scroll down are buttons) [06:55] how would i get the vista bootloader back when ubuntu is installed? [06:55] i don't wat [06:55] winmaster_41: boot vista cd and use fixmbr [06:55] oh [06:55] Fryguy--: ok. I'll see if I can figure it all out. thank you [06:56] fryguy is teh s**t hehe [06:56] through "dos"? [06:56] how can i connect to the net using a huiwei e169g modem on ubuntu netbook remix when running a window manager like icewm? [06:56] if im using icewm i wont be able to use the gnome panel applet to tell the modem to connect [06:56] busy fella [06:56] DankTank3: keep in mind I don't even USE UBUNTU [06:56] and nobody will answer my question :( [06:56] what is your question [06:56] and answer mine [06:56] for regular expressions, say i wanted to search for a file that ended in "png" or "jpg"....can i use "*.[jpg,png]" [06:56] i use command line vim in an xterm compatible term with mouse reporting. I use set mouse=a to get better mouse behavior in terminal, but this also intercepts clipboard events, which is undesirable when I am working remotely. I have played around with various settings for clipboard (including clipboard= and clipboard=unnmaed) but I am unable to get terminal copy/paste to work like it normally would outside of vim. Any ideas [06:57] yea.. thats over me man.. im sorry [06:57] ubuntuforums maybe? [06:57] think it'd work trying to install ubuntu booting it from a memory stick in a psp via USB ? [06:57] DankTank3: it's not really an ubuntu problem [06:57] oh my bad [06:57] thats right [06:57] what do you use? [06:57] DankTank3: but nobody else in here asks ubuntu questions, so I figured I'd take a shot [06:57] DankTank3: depends where I am [06:58] DankTank3: right now i'm on a vista machine terminaled into my freebsd server. my laptop has XP, work I use a mac and terminal into one of about a dozen different centos 5.1 machines depending on what I'm doing [06:58] right on.. hehe [06:58] so what is this about fry? [06:58] echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:59] nano_: that won't work I don't think, since [] defines a character set in regex [06:59] and plz go look at this if that command raised your attention [06:59] anyone? command to connect to the internet with the e169g? [06:59] http://blog.linuxoss.com/2008/05/ubuntu-804-enabling-atheros-ar5007-based-wireless/ [06:59] that has actually worked for me [06:59] but now it wont :( [06:59] I don't know stripped down regex that much (when I do regex it's usually within the scope of a full engine), but you might want something like "*.(jpg|png)" [06:59] Fryguy--, i guess im stuck with using "find ./ -iname "*.png" --or "*.jpg" [06:59] Fryguy--, thnx [06:59] hello, ubuntu or kubuntu? === lzy--_ is now known as lzy [07:00] and fryguy, why not jes not use mouse=a if the clipboard is that big a problem? [07:00] DankTank3: i don't do shit with wireless on *nix systems, so i can't help you [07:00] i want you to look at the commands [07:00] DankTank3: because mouse=a adds other mouse behavior that is important to me [07:00] das all and its short [07:00] is there a way i can block a page ?!? [07:01] post your question again [07:01] i wanna look at sumthin [07:01] DankTank3: are you running 64-bit? [07:01] yes [07:01] laptop, turion [07:01] how can i restart compiz, just do compiz --replace again? [07:02] jack [07:02] yep [07:02] I never understood why regex is so popular. It's too cryptic. A more natural version would be nice [07:02] Fryguy--, re:vim/term - :help paste and :help xterm-copy-paste and :help xterm-clipboard might help - you might also like this vim search engine i've compiled - http://tinyurl.com/58yc35 [07:02] restart from where? [07:02] DankTank3, i have hp dv2000 laptop, X2 turions dual core working at 1.8Ghz each [07:02] DankTank3: my ccsm isn't updating compiz so i'm going to see if restarting is going to help [07:02] DankTank3, + 2 gigs ram [07:02] that command should work [07:03] sudo [07:03] i love compiz, but i dont run it much [07:03] jes to show off to windows users [07:03] unop: i know i'm stretching here, but do you know of any way to do it without having to hold down shift? [07:03] hello alll [07:03] how can i mount a ntfs disk while after i have chrooted to a directory? ive tried mount -o /proc /chroot/proc still cant see the drives [07:04] Metatron: you need to mount devfs before chrooting [07:04] fry, didja look for my poor soul? [07:04] at that site? [07:04] it did work b4 [07:04] ok Fryguy--ill try that [07:04] but not now :| [07:04] that worked, why would ccsm stop working after awhile? [07:05] ariqs: a regex is an example of a context free grammar. More natural versions would have to be run as DFAs and will run slower, which becomes important in a lot of the circumstances that regexes are used in [07:05] i am thinking it is *.conf's being done over and over too much [07:05] no idea jack [07:05] depends on about 10 billion things [07:05] try to hold you mouth right next time ;) [07:05] fryguy: what does DFA stand for? [07:05] jack-desktop, where are you launching it from [07:06] ariqs: "discrete finite automata" [07:06] the menu =/ [07:06] Fryguy--, i'm not sure, there was something in the help files about a mapping of g with mouse clicks -- one reason why i don't use xterm is because it doesn't play well with vim [07:06] gnome? kde? [07:06] etc? [07:06] jack-desktop, the menu? ie simple-ccsm or other [07:06] System->Preferences->Compiz setting manager [07:06] unop: well i'm using urxvt, it supports xterm-style mouse reporting though, so I can use mouse=a. Which allows me to do things like select multiple lines of text and not wrap and catch line numbers and such [07:07] can someone help me [07:07] what distro are you runnin jack? [07:07] ubuntu hardy [07:07] SrgSantos54, need a question :) [07:07] my uptime is 4 days -- it usually stops working after awhile, it did it on gutsy too [07:07] i have a annoying page pop up that says that my systyem is infected and can't close it [07:07] jack-desktop, what about in appearances [07:07] Fryguy--, yep, same reason why my SHELL=urxvt [07:07] Does anyone know what ip address that starts with 10.0.0.2 means? [07:07] SrgSantos54, how about a screenshot [07:07] eugene__, it's a private ip address [07:08] You can play movies inside rar files via Dziobas rar player. It can't go to full screen and can't do all movies ,but it does work. VLC can do it ,but not most of the time. [07:08] bazhang: what about appearances [07:08] it gives me the option to download something [07:08] fryguy... did you look at the page for me? [07:08] jack-desktop, set to custom (this is gutsy or hardy) [07:08] DankTank3: looks pretty straightforward [07:08] bazhang: it works.... it just stops working after my computer has been online for awhile [07:09] yep.. ok man thanks [07:09] jack-desktop, what about alt f2 compiz --replace [07:09] bazhang: yeah, that fixed it, i was wondering why it did this though [07:09] jack-desktop, were you doing compiz --replace in the terminal? [07:10] bazhang: yes, but ... that's not the problem lol [07:10] tarelerulz, i find the whole thing of putting movies into rar files a bit unnecessary -- most video containers support and use pretty good compression anyway, so using rar on top of them only shaves off a few meg which isn't worth the hassle really [07:10] blah i'm going to bed [07:10] file:///home/adolfo/Screenshot-1.png [07:10] Fryguy--: ok, I understand the button1, button2 stuff now. How about "super" [07:10] goodnight Fryguy-- [07:10] Gumby: it's the windows key [07:10] d'oh. thx anyhow Fryguy-- [07:10] ahh [07:10] thanks [07:10] jack-desktop, then that is the source of your problems; do it in run command window not terminal [07:10] super is the windows button [07:10] gnight [07:10] :) [07:11] when i start my system after a reboot, ccsm works fine [07:11] then after about a day or so - it stops updating [07:11] "compiz --replace" fixes it... i guess. [07:11] could be a heat issue or a memory leak [07:11] SrgSantos54, you need to upload that screenshot somewhere [07:11] Fryguy--: unknown filesystem type 'devfs' but i got it with must mounted dev/ thnx, it was my fault i didnt realise exiting the root cleared the mounts [07:11] it's not a real problem, i was just wondering why it did it [07:11] jack-desktop, as I said above [07:11] google is your friend jack :P [07:12] bazhang how to i input a screenshot ?!? [07:12] we are smarter than google [07:12] yea RI [07:12] GHT [07:12] then fix my problem [07:12] DankTank3, we are here to answer questions; not to re-direct people to google [07:12] youwant me to give you the page [07:12] bazhang, hoist on his own petard ;) [07:13] :( [07:13] i have been reprimanded [07:13] DankTank3, just waiting for the #vim channel to relocate :) [07:13] lol [07:13] DankTank3, sorry missed your issue-->could you restate? [07:13] unop, I think the same thing . I don't know why the site I get stuff from does that. few meg will not break the bank on file that is like 4.5 gigs . It just make one more step to do . Plus there don't seem to be anyting on play movies inside rar. VLC do it ,but not well at all. No thing on mplayer either. About the only play I ever saw do that good was xbox media center . It was one of the best media player I have seen period .

[08:06] magnetron: Alright. I'll try that. [08:06] bazhang, yes [08:07] win64codecs? [08:07] yesudeep, there's another package you might need too.. something named vfs obex something. let me get the name [08:07] corollax, not sure what the fix missing [08:07] i can still mount the partitian from the live cd and see the files [08:07] bazhang, wwas right it's w64codecs [08:07] I tried to move a big folder.. 99% worked but one folder is remaining "directory is not empty" I just checked it did move the folder, but its still remaining.. whats up with the error? [08:07] bazhang: nice call!

[08:12] kontagious, my point is, is that if it does not state grub error 15, 17, or the like, then your issue is likely elsewhere-->having the exact error would be helpful in this case [08:12] cadoo, yes. you could use the ffmpeg2theora commandline tool. the package is named "ffmpeg2theora" [08:12] ok bazhang i will be back with the exact error [08:12] magnetron: Nope.

[08:22] CyRuS: But that's because I use an ubuntu derivative that's based primarily around gnome (Mint) [08:22] i tried it that way on a pii with 192 ram and it was responsive [08:22] bazhang: no but i can mount the partitian from thsi live cd [08:22] yesudeep, you should keep investigating your problem [08:22] CyRuS: Fortunately, it's incredibly easy to try out a new desktop environment. [08:22] Fine, I think Ubuntu(GNOME) is the one for me. Thanks for helping me out, guys [08:22] and read the files [08:22] kontagious, best to do some backups (just in case we cant fix it) [08:22] CyRuS: If you want to try out KDE after installing Ubuntu...

[08:23] CyRuS: Likewise, "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" will give you an XFCE session as if you'd installed xubuntu. [08:23] someone can help me with the installation of my epson printer? [08:23] bazhang: im not familiar with chroot [08:23] CyRuS: At the login screen, it asks you which "session" you want to choose from. [08:23] kontagious, ah then you got it handled, nice. [08:23] Metatron how long have you been using linux or nix in general? [08:23] CyRuS: The default is "last session used" [08:23] corollax: thanks [08:24] CyRuS: When you install a new one, it simply adds to the box. [08:24] CyRuS: Fair warning, the desktop environments are rather large (Roughly 2-3 GB, depending on which one you're talking about) [08:24] yesudeep, don't take ubuntuforums posts too seriously [08:24] bazhang, oh it seems envyng only supports hardy. [08:24] CyRuS: So if you're finding you're not using one, you may want to remove it. [08:24] does anyone know how to upgrade video drivers on gutsy? [08:25] greenfishx3: not real long off an on for about 5 years [08:25] CyRuS: which would be "sudo apt-get purge (k/x)ubuntu-desktop" ^,^ [08:25] corollax: I have got 500GB of space, isn't that enough :) [08:25] CyRuS: HOLY...err...right.

[08:27] has anyone made a deb pkg for pidgin 2.4.3 ? [08:27] ok ill be back :S [08:27] CyRuS: I can't give high enough praise for Linux Mint. Outstanding distro (you can get it in each of the desktop environments, but primary support goes to GNOME) [08:27] magnetron, the pidgin package you posted keeps crashing randomly like one other package i tested. is the pidgin website working for anyone? [08:27] CyRuS: If you find yourself liking the regular flavor of Ubuntu the best, try giving Mint a try. Google it! [08:27] Yaroze: ya check out getdeb.net [08:27] AndrewBC: not as bad as you would think especialy if you encrypt the file system and boot from usb or multisession CD/DVD [08:27] corollax: Will do [08:28] tim__b, have patience until the official patch gets rolled out via the updates [08:28] i think the cutting of the multiuser out of the distro is why it is so fast, non faster ive found, not dsl, certainly not xubuntu [08:28] aslan: ehm 2.4.2 there... [08:28] Hi! Is there an ETA for an Ubuntu (Hardy) package for Pidgin 2.4.3? [08:29] Yaroze: hehe.. sorry missed it [08:29] Metatron, and one badly written and ran mistake will shred things fast with little to stop it! [08:29] What's all the hubbub about pidgin? Is there something wrong with the current release? [08:29] is it a good or a bad idea to install an RPM software? I think the .tar.gz version is bogged [08:30] ICQ is broken as of yesterday. [08:30] corollax: Exactly what I want to know [08:30] what is the Winamp look-a-like for Ubuntu? I just installed XMMS2 and it's nothing like what I remember [08:30] And pidgin.im is down for me [08:30] Kartagis: I'd convert it to a .deb first. [08:30] Protocol change or something like that. [08:30] It's the end of the world! [08:30] bazhang: it worked!!! [08:30] Kartagis: there's a package called 'alien' that would do the trick for you. [08:30] corollax: alien? [08:30] Kartagis: check the man page! *grin* [08:30] kontagious, yay! [08:30] !alien [08:30] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [08:30] bazhang: of course microsoft has to make things complicated when they dont have to be :S [08:31] AndrewBC: eh dont wanna debate it, puppy is just what it is, meant to be a client, runs everything as root, not users, no more dangerous than sudoing the wrong command, plus it is way more convenient, different strokes and all [08:31] A communications disruption can mean only one thing... invasion. [08:31] bazhang: you're a life saver :D [08:31] thank you [08:31] xnv, take the chat elsewhere plesae [08:31] jeeves__: audacious is one player [08:31] sometimes security is the biggest threat to security after all [08:31] Kartagis: Of course, if you can get a regular .deb, that'd be far preferable. [08:31] Sebastian, would you like to test a package for pidgin with the ICQ fix ? [08:31] bazhang: It was Ubuntu-relevant a few messages ago [08:31] but plese note that I didn't tested yet myself [08:31] xnv, Sebastian https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/244591 [08:31] Launchpad bug 244591 in pidgin "Cannot connect to ICQ ("The client version you are using is too old.")"

It's just that I'm moving a M$ user to Ubuntu, so it has to be simple for them [08:32] !info audacious | jeeves__ [08:32] jeeves__: audacious (source: audacious): small and fast audio player which supports lots of formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.0-2 (hardy), package size 1111 kB, installed size 3784 kB [08:32] i wish i could [08:32] jeeves__: give it a try.. It's been a while since I used winamp but the player looks the same.. it hasn't got the music organization features of winamp though [08:33] Slart, that's why I was going to use the old version of XMMS, it looks almost the same [08:33] jeeves__: I'll preface this with an obligatory "Remember that linux isn't windows..." [08:33] joaopinto: Sure, I could test the patch. But that would not solve the problem that my sister keeps bugging me about ICQ not working for her :) [08:33] jeeves__: But I've been told that KDE gives a more windows like atmosphere. [08:33] Sebastian, ah ok :| [08:33] jeeves__: take a look here http://audacious-media-player.org/index.php?title=Main_Page [08:33] corollax, lol, I know, but I'm trying to convince this person that it's just as easy [08:34] jeeves__: Actually, I just got done switching my parents over to ubuntu (Wubi made it rather easy to integrate it with their existing OS) [08:34] Slart, thanks man, that's what I wanted [08:34] Is there a app for backin-up hdd that will hash files to avoid re-archiving a file that has just moved folder/partition? [08:35] lol nah just it is good that there is that option out there if someone wants it, if not there are plenty of alternatives, that is a good thing [08:35] i run it on an old machine for the kids cause the machine is ancient and it is the fastest ive found, i dont need high security for elmo's adventures in grouchland [08:35] well the chroot finlay updated, now.....will i be able to boot from it [08:35] jeeves__: Fair warning, there is a bit of work involved in getting any computer completely "idiot proofed" [08:35] is there a way to monitor current sessions , logon attempts and connections from an ltsp server [08:35] jeeves__: you're welcome [08:35] jeeves__: I'd recommend trying to anticipate what packages and codecs they need before you set it loose for them.

My next thing is finding a good replacement for M$ streets and trips. GPSDrive isn't doing it for me. [08:36] tuntun: yes.. there are many apps that do differential backups and many apps use various clever tricks to reduce the size of the backup === GibbaTehHutt is now known as GibbaTheHutt [08:36] jeeves__: Well, my parents are just about the same exact age -- and they're pleased beyond measure, so I can tell you that it IS POSSIBLE!

[08:37] corollax, lol, I just ignore them, and since they don't have their orignal M$ disks, they're stuck with it. Any ideas on the GPS thing?

If at all possible, I'd try another means of graphics support. [08:39] corollax, well, I need a good replacement for Streets and trips. Something that holds the same amount of maps as S & Ts, and is user friendly. I'm fighting with GPSDrive, and it looks like it'll be too hard for them [08:39] hmm ubuntu wont mount my dvd9, what do I do? [08:39] jeeves__: AHH...I imagine you've browsed synaptic for alternatives, huh? [08:39] greenfishx3: any error messagse? you did put the disc in the drive, right? =) [08:39] hmm i think i must have switched to xgl when i was fiddling with compiz, ill look into [08:39] corollax, yea. I think that I'm going to look @ roadnav. [08:39] Slart yes sir [08:40] jeeves__: Sorry I couldn't help any further! [08:40] Slart i saw the usual "browse dvd" window as well but theres no dvd icon on my desktop [08:40] but gnome appearence was just stuck i killed it cpu back to normal [08:40] greenfishx3: oh, no need to sir me.. do you get an icon on the desktop for your other drives?

I'm looking @ building a CarPC to take care of MP3s, USB tuner, DVD/CD playback, GPS nav, and other war driving stuff. I was looking @ the small VIA boards, but I didn't know if it has enough power === emo is now known as firda [08:41] jeeves__: Power usage calculator? Hrm... [08:42] Slart oh okay then ;) no, I mean i don thave icons on my desktop for media EXCEpt for my dvd, usually when i put a dvd in the try i see the icon on my desktop and i can cp files etc [08:42] yesudeep, i can transfer files to my nokia using OBEX push. apparently not all devices are affected by this bug [08:42] jeeves__: via boards work nicely.. I use one for my home server [08:42] jeeves__: I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I think powertop might do the trick [08:42] jeeves__: I have no doubt it can play dvds, run gps software etc etc [08:42] jeeves__: Or at least, it might help. [08:42] corollax, I want to make sure that it has enough CPU power that it can drive a 10.2" touch screen LCD, and all the other junk I want to toss in there. it's been decided that it'll run Ubuntu (it's simple and I understnad it), and if I can shoe horn it into my MGB, it'll look good [08:43] greenfishx3: can you see the files on the dvd in nautilus? or the system just ignores it? [08:43] jeeves__: I don't know of any tool that'd let you check...but powertop WOULD help you optimize the life you have. [08:43] hi guys im having mega problems installing ubuntu from a usb key to an sd card in my eeepc. my issue is quite complex and i've now done 6 reinstalls with no luck, so if someone could help me i'd appreciate it. [08:44] Slart I can see the files, in fact im browsing the folders as we speak through a GUI, but I cant mount it [08:44] does anyone know how to update video drivers on gutsy? [08:44] corollax, and since it'll be a daylight readable LCD, it has to have LARGE on-screen touchable buttons, etc. I'll still have a small (read "compact") bluetooth keyboard/mouse in the car to fiddle with it [08:44] jeeves__: Utterly out of my realm of expertise. Sorry >,< [08:44] Slart: the gui tells me the dvd is system:/media/hdb/ [08:45] slart but usually it gets auto mounted at media/cdrom0 [08:45] greenfishx3: hdb?.. sounds like your system thinks this is a harddrive, not a dvd [08:45] corollax, lol, no worries. I'm a M$ systems admin by day, and hardware hacker by night. I went to school for electronic repair/engineering. I know how to make it electrically work. I just want to make sure that it'll run before I drive from BC to Ontario to see family. And I'd love to have it wardrive along the way [08:45] Slart: is the a problem? [08:46] daYZman-w, if you need the latest nvidia/ati driver version please use envyng [08:46] greenfishx3: nope.. not really.. but it would do stuff like what you've experienced.. it doesn't show an icon on the desktop since it isn't a dvd === _weltall is now known as weltall [08:47] Slart: ah great. but how do I find the right path? ive checked /media there isnt any hdb [08:47] ok, roadnav is out of the question. No support for Canadian maps. any other ideas guys? [08:48] jeeves__: roadnav and gpsdrive are the two gps packages I know of.. I guess running a windows app using wine might be an option [08:48] Slart, lol, that kinda defeats the idea. [08:48] i need to reinstall APT -- missing 822.pm file [08:48] greenfishx3: but.. how did you browse the dvd? [08:49] I've upgraded from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS. the upgrade seems to have gone well, but I can't access my system by SSH anymore. so I hooked up a monitor and keyboard, but even in safe mode I'm getting an invalid resolution/refresh rate near the end of the boot up [08:49] jeeves__: indeed.. [08:49] apt-get install --reinstall apt fales [08:49] pressing alt+ctrl+1 didn't get me into a console either [08:49] This is annoying so maybe someone can help.. for reason, from time to time, my screen glitches out. Sometimes when I open certain programs it does it, like filezilla. Does it sound like my video card is getting ready to die? [08:49] so I don't know how to fix this now since I can't get in remotely or locally [08:49] Slart, I'm in no rush to build it. the MG isn't going anywhere [08:49] joaopinto, but does envyng work in gutsy? [08:49] Slart: by using nautilius, but I prefer to use bash for most of the commands, like cp [08:49] how can i connect to the net using a huiwei e169g modem on ubuntu netbook remix when running a window manager like icewm? [08:49] with pon? [08:50] jeeves__: I'm also waiting for a decent gps navigation app to show up.. I use gpsdrive with a laptop atm.. but it's clunky and has some weird ideas for gui and maps [08:50] Slart, is there a way to input an address, etc? [08:50] greenfishx3: when you browsed the files in nautlus, what did the address bar show? [08:50] jeeves__: nope.. it only shows you images.. no navigation at all [08:50] Slart system:/media/hdb/ [08:51] Slart, hummm, is there a Tom Tom version for linux? [08:51] Slart and i checked /media <-- no hdb only cdrom+floppy [08:51] orly_owl: pppoeconf maybe? [08:51] greenfishx3: and there is no folder called hdb in /media??? [08:51] Slart correct [08:51] jeeves__: there wasn't when I last looked [08:52] Slart, so it's basically a useless program? [08:52] greenfishx3: but.. but... that can't be.. === cari is now known as Naisenu [08:52] jeeves__: nope.. it's like a standard map.. but with a marker "You are here".. so not useless === konyel__ is now known as konyel [08:52] 822.pm ? how do i redownload that file [08:52] Slart, lol, the last time I used S & T, I was @ 30,000' and doing 512Mph! [08:53] Slart: cd /media ls -l cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0 thats all [08:53] I keep getting X server restarts when I try to browse screensaver options. Any ideas why?

[08:54] slart this is an exact paste from nautilius "system:/media/hdb/" [08:54] for myself [08:55] jeeves__: nggh.. udev rules.. nope.. never messed with those [08:55] Im just installing ubuntu studio [08:55] slart i checked the gui this is even weird [08:55] slart according to my gui its mounted as a cdrom, yet when I try to cp like ive done millions of times [08:55] Slart, ok, I was going to install VMware and see if they made a machine for the VIA boards [08:55] greenfishx3: if you type mount where does it say it mounted it? [08:56] Naisenu, maybe one is opengl (3D) and your x11 driver doesn't work well. [08:56] Greetings Earthlings! :) [08:56] nivash: well.. as I see it.. you're not using office so you wont be needing that.. you're an avid emacs user so install that.. and nethack.. you play nethack night and day.. you don't need a network connection.. so remove the networking software... am I close? [08:56] slart nvm i ejected the dvd9 and re mounted it works great now, weird error, thanks for the help though, same to you hischild [08:56] Hi, i install cairo-dock to my ubuntu 8.04 today, but i don't know how to change the language to english. because i dont know french [08:56] greenfishx3: I was beginning to think your computer was possessed or something =) [08:57] When i use gnome i lose sound and all my progs are unable to play sound (both my using ALSA and OSS) yet when i switch to fluxbox i get all my sound back and all progs work.

[09:01] sorry :D [09:01] Do anyone know how you install the Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio Card? [09:01] i have that tiny.. problem. [09:01] DJones: do u have inbuilt bluetooth in ur pc/laptop? what bluetooth device should i use [09:01] can u please tell me [09:01] i don't have bluetooth in my laptop [09:01] debasys: sorry, i don't use bluetooth [09:01] plouffe: that's odd.

[09:01] Lol, How often do you need BT? :p [09:02] i'm unable to install 3gp cpnverter [09:02] DJones: so how do u connect the mouse? wifi [09:02] ah ok, now it froze with a bunch of crap on the screen [09:02] lol [09:02] debasys: no, its got a usb dongle that came with the mouse, just plugged it in and it worked fine [09:02] debasys: there's multiple wireless versions. Most use their own wireless connection because it doesn't dwar heavy on the battery allowing it to las tlong. [09:02] Do anyone know how you install the Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio Card? [09:02] hischild: oh [09:03] Hey, I'm having trouble getting ubuntu 8.04 to detect the on-board bluetooth in my inspiron 1520. Any ideas?

[09:03] Can u please tell me how to make midis work in firefox they play fine out of it but dont play in it [09:03] yes [09:03] i have timidity now [09:03] and the extra thing [09:03] Search in the Pkg Manager, Im sure youll all find something for your bluetooths! [09:03] DJones: nevermind, all models should work fine [09:04] it's about 500 lines of that stuff [09:04] plouffe: that sounds like either a compile gone wrong, a corrupted binary or a bug. Can you try to reproduce it by starting from console again? [09:04] Then check them! [09:04] debasys: This is the one I use http://www.ciao.co.uk/Microsoft_Wireless_Optical_Mouse_Mouse__6504473 [09:04] ok [09:05] plouffe: if it crashes again you can try to reinstall it. If that doesn't fix it it sounds like a bug and i recommend filing a bugreport. [09:06] debasys: Yes, I'm using Hardy, it worked fine on Gutsy as well [09:06] DJones: ah great, thanks for all the info :) [09:06] it just did the same thing again [09:06] is netscape for linux still developed, or firefox/flock is a fork of it? [09:06] Do anyone know how you install the Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio Card? [09:06] netscape is dead [09:06] ??? [09:06] What application can I use for burning a CD 1:1 ? :D Thanks :) [09:07] hischild, Can I compile from source and would that help? [09:07] ok thanks I wasnt sure [09:07] plouffe: does it state what binary is causing the error and can you pastebin it? That might give me a clue as on what's going wrong specifically. [09:07] tyberion: gnomebaker [09:07] could i use the logitech MX AIR and use the "pointer" feature on ubuntu? [09:07] plouffe: You can compile from source, yes. It might fix that yes. [09:07] bom dia =) [09:08] I'll put it in paste.ubuntu.com, one sec [09:08] pavs: This article says whats happened to netscape http://blog.netscape.com/2007/12/28/end-of-support-for-netscape-web-browsers/ [09:09] Thanks djones, appreciate it [09:09] hischild -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/24412/ [09:09] hello. I have a quick question :) I have a directory listing in terminal. I want to print that directory listing out to printer.....? whats tha command ? [09:10] Does anyone know anything about ettercap and making the filters work? I can't do anything that involves manipulating data, and it's bothering me. I can't just go to the ettercap community, because their message board refuses to send activation emails. [09:11] happy_tux: lpr? [09:11] happy_tux: though I'm not sure if that commands works any more.. last time I used it was 15 years ago [09:12] plouffe: can you reinstall thunderbird? ==> sudo aptitude reinstall thunderbird [09:12] plouffe: if that doesn't work we can try to compile from source. [09:12] ok well i typed it in...just kinda hangin there :( [09:12] ok, I will make a complete removal and reinstall from synaptic. Is that ok? [09:12] happy_tux: ah.. you have to send stuff to it.. "ls /etc/samba/ | lpr" [09:13] This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi [09:13] plouffe: that is also ok, yet i can't garantee that you'will keep your current data.

[09:13] BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 13) line 2, chunk 3. [09:13] is there a argument to say current directory ? [09:13] plouffe: complete removal also removes the configuration and data files, which may containt he data of it. [09:13] zaber: use pastebin. [09:13] ok, I did the sudo reinstall [09:14] i need 822.pm -- somehow got deleted [09:14] ok well its more info than i had! :-) thanks [09:14] plouffe: did it finish yet? That'd be quite fast. [09:14] Hey, I'm having trouble getting ubuntu 8.04 to detect the on-board bluetooth in my inspiron 1520. Any ideas? The hardware switch is enabled but ubuntu won't detect it. [09:14] starting firebird again [09:14] since a 6.06 -> 8.06 upgrade my computer seems to be switching to some resolution or refresh rate at some point at boot, even in safe mode. anything I can do? [09:14] hey guys.. any estimate on when the Pidgin 2.4.3 would be available in the ubuntu repos? [09:15] plouffe: firebird or thunderbird? [09:15] hi, i can't write to tftp server. i'm using tftpd-hpa, rights for tftpboot are > lrwxrwxrwx 1 nobody root 17 2007-06-26 11:00 tftpboot -> /var/lib/tftpboot [09:15] thunderbird [09:15] there is an issue with icq that is fixed in that version [09:15] Adjust your xorg.conf from the command line joonasl_. [09:15] could i use the logitech MX AIR and use the "pointer" feature on ubuntu? [09:15] joonasl_: I'd guess that considering the amount of people affected by this it will be out pretty soon [09:15] Adjust your xorg.conf from the command line sijmen even [09:16] this time it's frozen without any error output, but I can still resize the window. but the contents are blank. [09:16] blankthemuffin: what?? :) [09:16] how do I find out what's eating SERIOUS CPU time on my system? [09:16] jeeves__: top, htop [09:16] plouffe: did you start it from command line? [09:16] yes [09:16] Slart, I tred that [09:16] jeeves__, top or the resource monitor [09:16] plouffe: and does it give you any output? [09:16] been blank for 2 minutes now [09:16] no nothing [09:16] blankthemuffin: even in failsafe I get this. I have no idea how to get to a command line now. even alt+ctrl+# doesn't get me to a console [09:16] jeeves__: didn't find anything? [09:16] SSH doesn't seem to be working either [09:17] plouffe: kill it and restart. Do _NOT_ use sudo to start it. === [cE_ExEmPhe_Fz_Y is now known as ce_xmaboloho [09:17] Slart, damn etherape. [09:17] oh dead sijmen [09:17] Slart, thanks [09:17] oh dear sijmen aragh my typing is awful today, [09:17] haha [09:18] sijmen: when ctrl+alt+# doesn't give you a console, you most likely need to do a hard reboot. In single user mode (rescue mode) it never gives you extra consoles as it only has one. [09:18] hey guys [09:18] im back [09:18] Slart: that worked thanks...just 1 more if i may? output to text file ? [09:18] I'm having trouble getting ubuntu 8.04 to detect the on-board bluetooth in my inspiron 1520. Any ideas? The hardware switch is enabled but ubuntu won't detect it. [09:18] whatever I currently do – any of the options in grub – lead to the freq out of range error [09:18] Do anyone know how you install the Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio Card? [09:18] Slart, do you know anything about VMWare? [09:19] blankthemuffin: do dmesg | grep -i bluetooth to see if something comes up about bluetooth. Might give you a hint on what's wrong. [09:19] happy_tux: almost the same.. "ls /some/path/here > yourfilename" [09:19] hischild, it was checking messages, then said connection to localhost failed, then the same error output. [09:19] hey guys.. i got madwifi extracted on my desktop.. wats the terminal command to install it? :S [09:19] jeeves__: nope.. never used it [09:19] sijmen, how about removing quiet splash from the end of the grub kernel line? [09:19] plouffe: do you have a firewall of some sorts installed? [09:19] ok i got to the ubuntu login screen, i login, and i get the ubuntu backround and the cursor - now it wont do anything. any ideas? [09:19] glibc detected. I had the connection to localhost failed message one other time out of 8 crashes . [09:19] DistroJockey: I didn't see quet, but without splash I'm getting the same unfortunately [09:20] Slart, hummm, I think it'll be easier to VMWare that car system instead of outlaying a grand [09:20] sijmen, ahh, bummer :( [09:20] hello? [09:20] also, I've had a lot of booting by that time already, lots of [ok]s went by :P [09:20] jeeves__: perhaps [09:20] I have firestarter, but I've always had it and never had a thunderbird problem before [09:20] hischild, http://pb.luahelp.net/456 [09:20] Slart, have you used the mobile version of Ubuntu yet? [09:20] hola [09:20] lol autojoin === Craig is now known as DeVonne === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [09:21] jeeves__: nope.. is it available? I thought it was being created? [09:21] plouffe: then i'm at a loss, sorry :( [09:21] so what's up!?!? [09:21] blankthemuffin: it finds your bluetooth, now you only need the programs to use it, with which i can't help. [09:21] maybe there is a way to boot into single user, console runlevel from grub? [09:22] hischild, Ok thanks, just two questins: Where do I file a bug report? And how would I install from source? [09:22] hischild, I have the programs, they arn't recognising it. :P [09:22] can someone send me usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm -- mine deleted [09:22] blankthemuffin: do you have a bluetooth icon top right? [09:22] plouffe: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs for the bugs [09:22] !compile | plouffe [09:22] plouffe: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [09:23] hischild, only when I tell it to display always or start it manually, the "only show when device present" shows nothing. [09:23] Slart, I didn't know, hence why I asked. if it's up and running, it'd be nice to use something that's designed to be as thin as possible [09:23] hi, i can't write to tftp server. i'm using tftpd-hpa, rights for tftpboot are > drwxrwxrwx 10 nobody tftp 4096 2008-07-02 09:32 tftpboot [09:23] can ubuntu be installed into htc tytn (it's a smartphone)? -i'm thinking of getting one, but the win mobile operating system isn't the thing i want. [09:23] Synaptic writes: "Evolution is a groupware suite." How to synchronize the Evolution adress book among 2 Ubuntu Hardy computers in a LAN? [09:23] blankthemuffin: it does show on dmesg though, so it's detected. I'm sorry but that's all i can do for now :( [09:24] Zaber, http://pastebin.com/f5c7cd7d3 [09:24] bullgard4: you need a middle ground - something like ldap to keep them in sync, or you'll have to export and import your address book files on a regular bassis [09:24] Zaber_, http://pastebin.com/f5c7cd7d3 [09:24] k hischild. I'll see what I can do. === berry is now known as paradoxi [09:24] ikonia: What do you mean by "regular basis"? === paradoxi is now known as berry [09:25] DistroJockey, THX ! [09:25] bullgard4: to keep them on sync you'll have to export and import the files between the two machines at regular intervals [09:25] anyone got a G15 keyboard? [09:25] Zaber_, you're welcome [09:25] jeeves__: yes.. it would be nice for a smaller system that doesn't need all the bells and whistles [09:25] Hello, can anybody help me? How do I upload a source package to my ppa and get it compiled for both hardy and intrepid? === berry is now known as berry_k [09:25] Snaury: ppa ? [09:25] ikonia: personal package archive [09:26] Snaury: ahhh [09:26] Snaury: I upload using bza [09:26] Or is there some other channel for this kind of questions? [09:26] Snaury: you could try #launchpad [09:26] Slart, well, if I can strip the crap out of it (slackware style), then I won't need anything more than a 900Mhz system. And since the MG has 2 12V batteries in it, then I can run it and the audio amps off of the second battery [09:26] Snaury: or #ubuntu-launchpad [09:26] ikonia: The export and import of common files at regular intervals will I have to organize myself, or does Evolution provide assistive routines for that? [09:27] bullgard4: no you'll have to do that yourself, as global address books are normally handled by a middle ground such as ldap [09:27] Good morning, does anybody know the best way of mounting a samba share to each user, in order to have different permissions to each of them? [09:27] whochismo: set the permissions on the file system - not the moount [09:27] mount [09:27] jeeves__: 900 Mhz will be plenty.. especially if the board has some hardware for playing sound, video and such [09:28] Slart, well, I'm looking to run a bunch of stuff on it though [09:28] ikonia: but if i mount the share using one user, then all the users that use that shared folder would have the same permisions, no? [09:28] ikonia: Using your information, I will keep on reserching for a suitable solution for me. -- Thank you. [09:28] jeeves__: my popcorn hour plays hd material just fine.. and I think that runs on a <1Ghz chip [09:28] researching [09:28] whochismo: no - set the permissions on the file system, not the share [09:28] ok ok [09:29] jeeves__: as long as you don't start playing half-life 2 on it, it should be fine =) [09:29] get the following error anytime i try to install from APT-GET ----> "Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 65, <$__ANONIO__> line " [09:30] Slart, I want to be able to play DVDs (full screen), have a decient MP3 player (with a good media manager), radio tuner, maybe a TV tuner, wardriving setup (kismet, and have it write the log files every time it suspends (when the system goes into snooze mode), etc. [09:31] jeeves__: I think any of via's itx chips will do that without breaking a sweat [09:31] ikonia: libldap-2.4-2 (These are the run-time libraries for the OpenLDAP (Lightweight Directory [09:32] does anyone know how to get the left speaker working on ubuntu? [09:32] the left speaker? [09:32] lwizardl: plug the speakers in.. play music.. that usually works [09:32] all the speakrers should work... [09:32] lol [09:32] ikonia: libldap-2.4-2 (These are the run-time libraries for the OpenLDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers and clients.) are already installed on my computer. Is this enough to use LDAP for Evolution? [09:32] Slart, I'm just concered about the amount of CPU time (and USB bandwidth) I'll end up using with a USB ROM (allthough I think I can use onboard IDE) with the external 200Gb drive, and USB sound card (I'm all about the dolby sound, so I'll buy a good creatives USB sound card to put in the trunk) [09:32] without any problem [09:32] even if you have 5.1 [09:32] lwizardl: check out foh looze wires in your left speaker...! ;) [09:32] bullgard4: no, you'll need an ldap server [09:33] bullgard4: it will need to be setup to act as a directory for your address book [09:33] then use evolution as a client to access it [09:33] jeeves__: be careful with creative.. check that the card is supported before you buy it [09:33] how is a workstation graphics card different than a desktop graphics card under ubuntu hardy ? [09:34] ikonia: ok. [09:34] avis: what do you mean [09:34] Slart, you know what I'm looking for though, right? [09:34] jeeves__: but 5.1 sound output will not be a problem.. playing dvd's wont be a problem (especially if the board has some kind of hardware for mpeg2 decoding).. I don't think the usb rom will be much trouble either === [[mimpii_inddahh is now known as enoon === enoon is now known as [[mimpii_inddahh [09:34] ikonia, how does a workstation graphics card differ in color, graphic display, overall appearance of windows, etc, compared to a desktop graphics card ? [09:35] avis: it's just a name [09:35] Slart, as I said, the drives and then outputting the sound to a USB card I'm concerned about the amount of crap flowing down the wire. There'll be GPS, 200Gb HDD, sound card, and possibly the ROM on the USB line [09:35] avis: a workstation can be a desktop [09:35] avis: a desktop can be a workstation === [[mimpii_inddahh is now known as noon [09:36] how can ja change the keyboard layout at synergy? :- === root is now known as Guest19499 [09:36] jeeves__: well.. you'll have to benchmark it before you can be sure.. but I think it will be alright [09:37] ikonia, certain video cards are marketed as workstation video cards. i'm guessing that some chipsets are not shared with desktop video cards in this care, thats why i wonder about how they do stand apart. [09:37] avis: it's just a name [09:37] Slart, that brings me to the question of how to do it without buying the hardware. as you said, I need something less than 1ghz, but I don't want to buy a 500Mhz and find out it's too slow [09:37] does anyone know how to update video drivers on gutsy? does envyng support gutsy? [09:37] Slart, and I'm thinking that 2-4Gb of RAM would REALLY help though. [09:38] avis: workstation cards have drivers that focus more on opengl 2d acceleration.. correct graphics instead of speed etc [09:38] avis: I could badge any desktop card as a "workstation" card [09:38] yes i realize that. and apples are different than oranges and the Quadro (workstation) chipset is different from a Geforce. [09:38] anyone have already got the error "DATA command failed : Message refused" with evolution ? :/, it caused by a file attachement but i dont know why [09:38] I'm going to be compiling pidgin because the version that comes with ubuntu doesn't work with icq anymore. My question is this: Before I make install the version I compile, what needs to be done with the current one installed? [09:38] thank you Slart [09:38] jeeves__: not necessarily.. if you're not using it for something special.. more than 1 GB or RAM might be overkill [09:38] ariqs: you could remove it - but I'd advise you to just wait for ubuntu to fix it [09:39] i'm unable to connect my blutooth headset [09:39] i'm unable to connect my blutooth headset [09:39] i'm unable to connect my blutooth headset [09:39] ariqs: if you install your own version of pidgen you'll lose package manager awareness of pidgen and as pidgin is linked into the desktop packages, I don't think thats the best thing to do [09:39] i'm unable to connect my blutooth headset [09:39] jeeves__: I don't know how media players use extra memory but I still haven't found one that caches more than a couple of seconds worth of dvd data [09:39] ikonia: is there anyway I can keep my current configuration and just copy over the new version parts? [09:39] i'm unable to connect my bluetooth headset === yacc_ is now known as yacc [09:39] Slart, really? I would love to suspend EVERYTHING to RAM if possible. I'll have to look @ the electrical requirements for it. I'm just concerned about the draw. it would be nice to be able to wake it up via WiFi though [09:39] i'm unable to connect my bluetooth headset [09:39] kaushal: stop asking [09:40] kaushal: yes.. we know now.. now stop [09:40] kaushal: your asking every 5 seconds, please stop and wait for a response [09:40] well, I don't really have patience for ubuntu's speed at these updating these packages. I've got quite a few I've ended up compiling myself [09:40] Slart, and for the DVD playback, I'd need a good buffer (due to road vibrations seeing as the poor car was built in 1972) [09:40] jeeves__: yes.. that would be nice.. but hibernate might be almost as good.. and use a lot less power [09:40] ariqs: how quick the response will be will most probably depend on how serious the fault is, I would expect pidgin to be a quick turn around [09:41] jeeves__: or you could get one of those CF to IDE adapters and install the system on a compact flash card.. [09:41] how do i fix this error "Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 65, <$__ANONIO__> line " -- i get it anytime i try to install via APT-GET (anything) [09:41] Slart, true. it's something I'd have to look into. I'm figuring that a full boot would be too much for an auto enviroment, but I'm going to need to make sure that it boots fine and suspends/resumes corectly when I turn the car off, etc [09:41] how serious the fault is is subjective to whether the person deciding uses ICQ ;) [09:42] Slart, I was thinking about that actully. a 4-8Gb CF card on the IDE channel, and store the rest of the stuff on the external 200Gb drive [09:42] greets guys. i want my wallpaper to be the output returned from "sudo tcpflow -c -i eth0" [09:42] ariqs: as pidgin is a core part of ubuntu , and icq a core function, I think it's a reasonable assumption to say this is on the high list [09:42] hischild, I am thinking it may be related to my hotmail account and the fact htat MS disabled their webmail protocol today. I freeze exactly when I try to remove the hotmail account. How could I remove it offline? [09:42] I have a problem my keyboard config is messed up [09:42] i'm unable to connect my bluetooth headset [09:42] how would i get the console to run at the back of my desktop, not in a window (not clickable) [09:42] jeeves__: I'm also thinking of doing a small car computer.. but I will probably do a full shutdown.. on a slim system a full cold boot might take ~20-30 secs.. that's not to bad [09:42] Slart, but what is the reliabilty of those cards/adaptors? I'm not in the mood of ripping my baby apart every few months. [09:43] Guillaum3: you mean like a wall paper ? [09:43] yeah [09:43] but it should give me a live feed of whats going through eth0 === emo is now known as Guest38426 [09:43] jeeves__: I don't know.. I haven't used one myself.. but you could put it somewhere reasonable easy to access.. that way you could update the system by just bringing the cd-card home with you [09:43] Slart, well, I was thinking of putting in a button (hidden somewhere in the beast) to tell the system to do a full shut down if it's going to be a few days. I think the sleep on them uses ~350-500mAh, and on a fully charged car battery, that's going to last a LONG time [09:43] Guillaum3: you could look at xsetroot but I'm not sure thats possible to be honest [09:44] suppose i could cron screengrabs and update the background the whole time. [09:44] you know, as a jpeg [09:44] Guillaum3: I think that wouldn't work either, [09:44] Hello everyone [09:44] ikonia: why not [09:44] Slart, there is a usless part in the middle consel of the car that I'm thinking about taking out the ashtray and putting the unit in there under plexi and LED lighting it [09:44] jeeves__: sounds like a good plan..and one of those "cut off power connection of battery gets low"-thingies you can get almost anywhere [09:44] Could someone help me with my keyboard layout [09:44] i know this is a noobish question, but how do i find out the size of a file in mb? [09:44] Guillaum3: you could try opening an exterm without any borders, making it full screen and then layering things on top of it ? [09:45] joshhunt: right click on it and hit properties [09:45] Slart, I think there's something that's designed for those boards to be used in a auto enviroment anyways that pulls the system out of snooze if the voltage gets too low to properly shut it down, etc [09:45] Good morning, what is the java package called if i wanna apt-get it? [09:45] how do i fix this error "Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 65, <$__ANONIO__> line " -- i get it anytime i try to install via APT-GET (anything) -- seems like my Debconfig is corrupted -- is this easy to fix ? [09:45] ikonia: how do i do this bypassing of x (no borders) [09:45] jeeves__: ah.. didn't know that..useful [09:46] Guillaum3: don't use an xterm, using something like an Eterm [09:46] is there a guide to use socks4-clients package? [09:46] Slart, and the second battery in my beast is isolated when the car isn't on to prevent the main battery from draining. once the voltage reaches 13.8V, it opens up and charges the second battery. that way, I can pound out my system when the car is off, and still drive home @ night [09:46] ikonia: Oh no, im using ubuntu server. How do i do it from cli? [09:47] jeeves__: where do you keep the second battery? trunk? [09:47] joshhunt: ls -lah [09:47] Could someone help me my keyboard is messed up [09:47] brb [09:47] joshhunt: however if your at that level, I'd suggest using the desktop version, you'll find it much easier and a better learning tool [09:47] ikonia: Thanks :) [09:47] does anyone know how to update video drivers on gutsy? does envyng support gutsy? [09:47] ikonia: I cant, im using it on my server :p [09:47] jeeves__: but we're getting very !ot now, this isn't about ubuntu any more..=) [09:47] joshhunt: what server is it ? [09:47] anyone with a Logitech G15 keyboard would like to test Gmail notifier for it's LCD? [09:47] anyone with a Logitech G15 keyboard would like to test Gmail notifier for it's LCD?

[09:57] C00re, after typing java that is [09:57] dunno, its downloadingand installing now anyway [09:57] ikonia, hmm i haven't got that any more. it got deleted after updating nvidia-glx [09:57] :D [09:58] What would i be doing rong? [09:58] daYZman-w: so apt-cache search nvidia-glx-new doesn't give a ressult ? [09:58] daYZman-w, envy do support gutsy [09:58] ApOgEE-: envy is not supported [09:59] ikonia, my sys is pretty clean -- and fairly new [09:59] Zaber: yes, I saw that [09:59] C00re, I get a different list if I hit tab twice after java compared with after sun :) [09:59] ikonia, oh it does. it's just not in my PATH [09:59] daYZman-w: what's not in your PATH ? [09:59] ikonia, i mean /usr/bin [09:59] daYZman-w: what's not in /usr/bin ? [10:00] ikonia, nvidia-glx-new [10:00] daYZman-w: thats not a command [10:00] ikonia, isn't in here? http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [10:00] ApOgEE-, really? when i tried installing it, it complains about the version of perl-central to be installed being too old. [10:00] ApOgEE-: no - Ubuntu does not support envy [10:01] ikonia, should i simply reinstall perl? or is this an addon to perl thats the problem ? [10:01] daYZman-w: install the nvidia-glx-new package [10:01] ikonia, okay [10:01] Zaber: how are you going to re-install perl if your package manager is not working ? [10:01] ikonia, ok [10:01] perl.deb ? [10:01] ikonia, but it'll then remove nvidia-glx, is that ok? [10:01] how can i get my terminal to use the SHIFT KEY to highlight?, i.e. SHIFT+HOME highlights everything from the cursor to the beginning? [10:01] daYZman-w: if you chose to [10:02] Zaber: I wouldn't, thats your call [10:02] ikonia, what's the difference between nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new [10:02] GTS, maybe a restart will do [10:02] Zaber: I'm more concerned at why all of a sudden the perl modules that apt uses have bugs - something on your system has changed the perl config [10:02] daYZman-w: newer drivers [10:02] i guess i could always go back to Windows -- that seems to work pretty well. [10:02] Zaber: sure you can do that [10:03] lol [10:03] Windows Suxx nowadays [10:03] Tukotih: we don't need to hear that [10:03] k :p [10:03] i have less random prbs w/ windows than ubuntu :/ [10:03] Zaber: ok, thats an option you can happily take [10:03] ikonia, i don't know -- all i did was run the update [10:04] Is it just me that got 147 new updates this morning? [10:04] was replying to someone else on that [10:04] Tukotih: that depends on how long it's been between updates for you [10:04] I updated yesterday... [10:04] hi [10:04] and today there was 147 new [10:05] o.O [10:05] I had 5, I think. [10:05] has anyone run citrix xencenter in ubuntu desktop? [10:05] Tukotih: depends what you've got installed, I didn't have 147 updates installed, but I have a reasonable small system [10:05] im getting an error in apt, says another instance is running [10:05] Oh, Mine is reasonably big [10:05] 13 here [10:05] How do I update pidgin in ubuntu to 2.4.3? [10:05] ikonia, i see. but the version synaptic says is 100.14.19. is it the latest? the one on nvidia's site is 173.14.05 [10:05] how do i purg? [10:05] can someone help me run citrix xencenter? [10:05] Got Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntustudio, Xubuntu and something else i have no idea of what it is... [10:05] daYZman-w: thats correct, thats the latest version supported/available in gutsy [10:06] RonLut: ubuntu will be releasing an update soon [10:06] ikonia: thanks ;) [10:06] psilocyde, is Synaptic or apt-get running elsewhere? [10:06] i just installed awn from synaptic but when i run from aplications menu nothing happens [10:06] apt [10:06] ikonia, right. so can i not get anything newer than 100.14.19 on gutsy? [10:06] why do you want somethign that new ? [10:06] daYZman-w: newer is not always better [10:07] Am i able to have mutiple ubuntus using WUBI so like ubuntu kubuntu and ubuntu studio? [10:07] sorry trying to run adept [10:07] Darthreborn: Try running it from a terminal [10:07] Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). [10:07] Darthreborn: avant-window-navigator [10:07] ikonia, the reason i'm updating is that Xorg eats up too much CPU power than it's supposed to. even when FF waits for a page to load, it eats up about 20% [10:07] Lol, Newer is indeed not better, When i updated to the latest DirectX in windows, My diablo 2 stopped working :/ [10:08] and that happened using 100.14.19 [10:08] spfd it gives this error Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager. [10:08] depends on your card if newer is better [10:08] daYZman-w: so how do you know it's a driver, have you tried using the vesa or nv driver to test this before making random suggestions its the nvidia driver [10:09] Well, A newer card means that the drivers for linux might not be ready yet, Which does not make it better... [10:09] that's a risk with too new cards, true [10:09] Hi! [10:09] Darthreborn: You'll need to enable the composited desktop. Its in the Appearance app, under the effects tab I believe [10:09] But you had a point too :p [10:09] i need som help.. [10:10] You never play high graphic games in Linux :p [10:10] Darthreborn: Sorry I can't be less vague, ssh'd right now.. [10:10] i have just installed geonetwork on ubuntu [10:10] Tukotih: graphics cards are not just for games [10:10] good for u [10:10] just noticed with my old laptop which has a GeForceFX 5200Go [10:10] I know [10:10] DistroJocky im getting errors adept updater refuses to finish updating, it stoped at 20% on sun java. it "froze" and had to kill it. now i get an error when trying to run it [10:10] Tukotih, tried ETQW? it's nice [10:10] and when it was all correct.. [10:10] even worse, mobile gpu [10:10] but [10:10] Development, 3D modeling (Know alot but that...) === visik7 is now known as Guest77446 [10:10] will only let me use it in read only [10:10] Ill try it! :D [10:10] anyone ran into problem with ltsp-manager not starting [10:11] i would like to copy a folder and 2 subfolders of midi patches to /usr/shar/mid/ which is root protected so i can use wildmidi to play midi files...help pls === visi_ is now known as visik7 [10:11] psilocyde, probably a lock file somewhere. This is Ubuntu support not Kubuntu, so I have no idea how to fix adept sorry [10:11] Why does ubuntu relie on Hal, and why does the newest hal cause problems [10:11] oh right sorry [10:11] psilocyde, no problem [10:12] :( josh@blankthelappy:~$ sudo hcitool dev > Devices: [10:12] TGD: all distros use hal now - it's pretty critical [10:12] Yer but the newest hal is not working [10:12] is there a way to reconfigure xorg for a new graphics card? [10:12] TGD: as in the one that ships with ubuntu 8.04 ? [10:12] As in the one on the updates [10:13] i guess select vesa driver before uninstalling the old one? [10:13] reZo, there is a reconfigure command, and it is... um... [10:13] TGD: well, it's working fine for me - so please don't make untrue comments, instead explain YOUR problem [10:13] Its working fine? [10:13] yes [10:13] Hmmm [10:14] Maby when downloading on Wubi it dont work properly [10:14] when i star t the web i can't see the world map... [10:14] I doubt that, but as wubi is not a true hardware platform, hal may behave differently [10:14] could that be a problem of java? [10:15] line 65 of 822.pm which is causing the error "$value=~s/\\n/\n/g;" [10:15] Well does hal do anything atal? [10:15] mib_wnbekea5: Start the software in a console and see if you get some error messages or something [10:15] ikonia, WUBI is a real hardware plataform. only the filesystem media is different [10:15] spdf: before u give a response i wrote compiz on command line and my linux crashed, i had to reload the entire interface :( [10:16] joaopinto: it's for want of a better word, "virtualised" [10:16] Darthreborn: No worries, if you go your System menu, and fine Appearance [10:16] TGD, what about describing your problem ? [10:17] Darthreborn: find*, try enabling there.. I'm not 100% on where exactly there, under the Effects tab perhaps.. [10:17] My problem was hal was giving errors on post-installation script [10:17] ikonia, wubi is not virtualized neither related to virtualization in any way [10:17] hi, do i need to write stuff in xorg.conf to switch my graphire wacom tablet to absolute positioning ? or is there a gui ? [10:17] Virtual hard disc maby? [10:17] joaopinto: I think we'll disagree on that [10:17] Virtual HDD [10:17] hi all, does anyone know how I get a list of all open windows in GNOME? Similar to clicking the middle mouse button (or alt-F5) in KDE? [10:18] do i have message help here about installing citrix xencenter using wine? [10:18] help for me? anyone? [10:18] or if anyone knows of a compiz thingy that does the same...? [10:18] blankthemuffin: got the command? [10:18] spdf: yes i think its there but i can't enable them it gives an error , i think i ll have to install my graphic card [10:18] I would like to copy a folder and two sub folder full .pat files to /usr/share/midi..it's root user protected.. I have done a work around and edited the wildmidi.cfg to point to the folders where they are now, but, would like to learn how to move or copy/paste folders and files from a folder I have permission to use to a folder that has only "root" permissions [10:18] greatauk you can add a click menu for windows to the gnome panel by right-clicking on the panel and add [10:18] Darthreborn: You'll need some form of accelerated graphics to enable it [10:19] hello [10:19] Erm [10:20] Do you have a nvidia card reZo? [10:20] why is me very new Ubuntu installation have a trojan [10:20] or a virus [10:20] ubuntu does not have a trojan nor a virus [10:20] Xavura, uhh ? [10:20] This host is listed in dnsbl.ahbl.org [10:20] IP address in ip4r format: 165.3.129.81.dnsbl.ahbl.org [10:20] Reason: [10:20] The machine on this IP address has an insecure proxy, or could possibly be infected with a virus or trojan. [10:20] No idea what that means [10:20] that doesnt mean it has a virus or trojan [10:20] but I get it when connecting to a lot of major IRC networks [10:20] Well [10:20] Xavura, "insecure proxy" may be possible, if you didn't setup it properly [10:20] its _possible_ [10:20] but [10:20] I've been using it fine for 2 weeks until now [10:20] just a general warning [10:20] I haven't downloaded anything [10:21] without using the package manager [10:21] blankthemuffin: indeed, geforce 7900 gt/gto [10:21] dejiko: contact the list owner [10:21] so there's no way I can have a virus or anything [10:21] dejiko: as in the rbl list owner [10:21] DaveKong, you know what the applet is called? I've got a "windows list" applet already running [10:21] reZo, there is a nvidia specific one and the generic - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:21] how the hell would someone get a virus or trojan on ubuntu [10:21] trojans arent even capable on ubuntu [10:21] as far as i know [10:21] ikonia, it was Xavura :) [10:21] okay awesome, i'll try generic first [10:21] DaveKong, but I only have it show me windows for my current workspace ... I'm looking for a keyboard/mouse shortcut to show me all windows... [10:21] Well [10:21] why not? [10:21] does nopaste exist on any of the ubuntu repos? [10:21] reZo, nvidia-xconfig is the nvidia one which I'd reccomend [10:22] If I do have an open proxy or whatever, can anyone help mef ix it [10:22] Hi, is there a reference for getting Evolution to work on MS Exchange ? I am having authentication problems [10:22] blankthemuffin: okay, will try that then hehe [10:22] dejiko: thanks [10:22] greatauk if you use Windows Selector you can choose it to show windows for all your desktops [10:22] Kartagis: you mean a script to paste stuff to a nopaste service? there is pastebinit in the repos [10:22] Xavura: contact the list owner and find out what the problem is [10:22] DaveKong, ah, got it, Windows Selector [10:22] blankthemuffin: works perfect :D [10:22] thanks [10:22] mgolisch: thanks [10:22] DaveKong, thanks for your help!

[10:25] thanks Ikonia i knew it was a sudo thing just didn't know what to do [10:25] googling hasn't helped [10:25] seems firefox getting a lot of my ram and cpu [10:25] TGD: you "don't" [10:25] ufk: Not the account, but the messages I guess. Maybe by exporting Outlook->Thunderbird on XP, and then Thunderbird->Evolution [10:25] does firefox in ubuntu has a bug? [10:25] TGD: you don't log on as root with ubuntu, you use "sudo" instead. [10:26] anyone familiar with ltsp-manager failing to start? gives a number off errors [10:26] ahh [10:26] kaliMastah, its a huge program so of course it has bugs [10:26] Why is ubuntu faster than XP? [10:26] the -R means recursive ....right? [10:26] im having some problem with memory usage [10:26] TGD: it's not, the speed varies on it's use [10:26] Wispring: thats right [10:26] firefox seems slowing my ubuntu [10:26] actually there is a way but its recomended u use sudo [10:27] ok i am so on it [10:27] thanks [10:27] Well my CPU has spiked to 100% and on XP it would have crashed [10:27] Wispring: you may want to use "-Rp" to kee the source permissions [10:27] TGD: yes, and ? [10:27] Wispring, try "man cp" in a terminal [10:27] And im at 100% now and it seems normal [10:28] TGD: if your CPU is running at %100, your machine is on it's knees and I assure you not behaving normally [10:28] TGD: how much ram you got? [10:28] 1 gig [10:28] ahhh thats why [10:28] What [10:28] ok looks like it's -R-p then [10:28] so do you agree that ubuntu is not doing well below 1gig? [10:29] Wispring: just "-Rp" [10:29] k thanks [10:29] prashant: your laptop keyboard is configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as 'generic Keyboard' with 'option CoreKeyBoard', I guess. You can conifgure a 2nd Keyboard (your USB Board) and set this one with 'option SendCoreEvents'. Then you can use both [10:29] Ubuntu - 1gig = tourtoise [10:29] TGD: pardon ? [10:29] Also my CPU is only 1.8 ghz [10:29] 1 gig is plenty for ubuntu [10:30] umm i am a newbie how do get "out" of the man and back to the prompt [10:30] If you have less that 1 gig for ubuntu its a toirtoise [10:30] Wispring: "q" [10:30] only using 565 MiB with all kind of stuff running [10:30] thanks [10:30] TGD: please don't talk nonsense [10:30] Ubuntu runs fine on 256MB, although the installer is kinda dodgy.

[10:32] DJones: pigin is constantly crashing [10:32] TGD: a 1.2 ghz processor [10:32] is there a command to list a whole directory for subfolders? ex: my backup folder contains over 300 folders, is there a command to list all of the folders and/if theres a sub folder in one of those as well? [10:32] sway my machine is running great...now ubuntu is proving it otherwise [10:32] minimec: thanks. I can use both at the same time already. what I want is to disable the internal one as it has a stuck key. [10:32] I have a Celeron single core 1.8 or so with 256MB of DDR400 and it runs fine. You can't say 1GB is not enough. This is ubuntu not vista. [10:33] Thats worse than mine (no offense- i moan about my CPU) [10:33] sway: thanks for the tip [10:33] any1 plz? [10:33] Lol vista [10:33] greenfishx3, ls --help [10:33] greenfishx3: ls -r ? check the man page for ls, "man ls", or "ls --help" [10:33] I laugh at microsoft about vista [10:33] ubuntu vs vista [10:33] hmmm [10:33] Ubuntu [10:33] thanks Gurpartap and Slart [10:33] greenfishx3: sorry.. it's ls -R [10:33] oh shit I've started a fanboy war. [10:33] TGD: again- please stop talking nonsense [10:33] TGD: this is an ubuntu support channel [10:33] blankthemuffin: watch the language please [10:33] so, there's no way to fix the package-manager in Ubuntu? [10:34] need to do a full reinstall of the OS [10:34] ? [10:34] probably [10:34] prashant: So if you configured the usb board as CoreKeyboard and delete the 'generic keyboard' entry in xorg.conf? [10:34] why does my pidgin and some movie player crashes when i run this ubuntu for a longer time? [10:34] that seems like it might be the easiest way [10:34] Zaber: can you pastebin the perl module it's moaning about please. [10:34] Zaber, you upgraded from 6.06 right? [10:34] kaliMastah: define crash, does it just dissapear, error, hang ? [10:34] Yeah my pidgin crashes after a few hours too kaliMastah. [10:35] It just dies, no errors. [10:35] it just quit without any message ikonia [10:35] I don't even compare ubuntu to visa...ubuntu is free and with some work and self education will do anything that visa can do...even run many windows only apps using wine [10:35] wine sucks [10:35] Wispring, I don't think we really need to start a ms vs everybody argument do we? [10:35] cant even install something on it...or i am just a noob [10:35] same one you have " /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm" -- line 65 [10:35] wine is doing its job [10:35] Wine is ok not good for games installing is easy [10:35] must say though it's been a learning experience [10:35] Kali: Wine is good and tasty ! [10:35] kaliMastah: hmmm.. you said it.. =) [10:36] Zaber: can you pastebin that module please I want to see if it is the same [10:36] pidgin wins [10:36] hey what can we do with pidgin crashing and movie player that is so slow? [10:36] I got a xchat question... is it possible to space out what everyone is saying? like can I have it not look so cluttered? [10:36] ok bitches i've totally converted from windows to linux === azingo is now known as aks [10:36] kaliMastah: is the syslog mentioning anything [10:36] linux isnt that hard to convert to [10:36] minimec: I didnt make any changes for the USB keyboard, just plugged it in and it works. I however deleted the generic keyboard entry in xorg.conf which had no effect at all. [10:36] I have a problem: I use a ntfs partition as my music library (shared partition for windows and linux) but after every reboot it changes it's name and then I have to import my music again to the music player.... how can I set it to have the same name and place forever? [10:36] now the task of taking all my ntfs partitions, copying data off and formatting them to ext3 [10:36] recoveringuser: STOP with that attitude [10:36] sway: I still think it is [10:36] nothing ikonia [10:36] got rid of XP completely [10:36] i just got a copy from pastebin tonight from someone else as i deleted it earlier -- i was having the same problem before i restored the pastebin version [10:36] I find almost nothing works in wine.. about the only thing that ever does is OSS programs that I could be running natively anyhow! [10:36] recoveringuser: that the worst way to introduce your self and ask for help. Please watch the language [10:36] its just quit without messages [10:36] it takes time to get used to [10:36] ikonia, this is the one I gave Zaber : http://pastebin.com/f5c7cd7d3 [10:36] ronlut: use uuid and fstab [10:37] ??? [10:37] sway, you might be able to get that effect simply by changing the font / size. [10:37] DistroJockey: ahh so you've checked its the same [10:37] sure ill change that blank [10:37] does anyone know a mms audio stream player that allows jumping to a specific time in the stream? [10:37] gabbler: I don't know what you are talking about :( what should I do exactly? [10:37] recoveringuser: "ok Bitches" - uncalled for [10:37] i have an awesome attitude, wtf [10:37] rgnr: Looks like it's because you are missing NetworkManager headers and need to install those. [10:37] http://pastebin.com/f5c7cd7d3 [10:37] ?? [10:37] ikonia: errm, I don't think he was asking for help [10:37] recoveringuser: phrases like "wtf" are also not weclome [10:37] vnc and totem both seem to be pretty broken in this respect [10:37] zcat[1], even FuturePinball works in wine [10:37] !coc | recoveringuser [10:37] recoveringuser: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [10:37] sorry [10:37] ikonia, Zaber said it was not present/deleted and asked for a copy [10:37] hello everybody [10:37] yes -- i deleted it [10:37] dejiko: nothing I've wanted to run has ever worked though. [10:37] let me start over, hello my name is earl [10:37] DistroJockey: oooh wow, I missed that part [10:37] i am am recovering windows addict [10:37] Zaber: you deleted it [10:38] I got the problem with pidgin that it cannot connect to ICQ "your client is to old" - Pidgin 2.4.3 would do the trick, but its not in the resources for apt-get.....Do you know what to do besides installing it by hand ? [10:38] yes [10:38] ikonia: what's wrong with "wtf"? [10:38] ikonia: come on.. 'ok bitches' is not directed to anyone. [10:38] then restored it from pastebin [10:38] Zaber: would have been helpful if you mentioned that [10:38] yea really who is ikonia? [10:38] zcat[1], that's of course possible [10:38] I am customizing the ubuntu livecd and I'd like to change the splash image shown during the loading [10:38] police officer? [10:38] recoveringuser: hello my name is randy [10:38] it doesnt matter [10:38] how cna I do that? [10:38] gordonjcp: it's classed as offensice [10:38] prashant: doesn't matter - it's not acceptable language [10:38] ronlut: you can use sudo blkid to get the uuid of your ntfs partition and then edit /etc/fstab to add that ntfs partition in with the uuid you have just found [10:38] ikonia: how on earth is that offensive? [10:38] actually its not earl but i feel like it is when people like ikonia get onto me [10:38] gordonjcp: because of what it means [10:38] i'm sorry mommy [10:38] ikonia: and, who classes it as offensive? [10:38] rgnr: sudo apt-get install network-manager-dev should give you the ones you need. [10:38] gordonjcp: ubuntu code of conduct [10:38] i deleted it w/ the idea that i can restore it from universe [10:38] !wtf | gordonjcp [10:38] that didn't work [10:38] ikonia, Zaber : was thinking permissions may have been an issue [10:38] so i got it here [10:39] ikonia: so "what's that for" is offensive? [10:39] root root [10:39] gordonjcp: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:39] gordonjcp: thats not the common phrase for it, [10:39] you know like over 10 years ago I had windows,linux,beos on a a 500mhz celeron grub triple-boot system... just to see if I could do it. It's kind of fun to see if you can get technological things to work the way you would like them to. [10:39] i think if your computer is crashing from ubuntu, and you admit to having a weak machine maybe you should try Kubuntu, which is meant for machines with real bad specs from what im told [10:39] i however, only use ubuntu [10:39] Zaber: ok, I missed that part of the earlier conversation [10:39] recoveringuser: this is IRC, not instant messenger. please don't use the enter key as punctuation [10:39] dejiko: but for the most part I prefer to run OSS software anyway and that's all available native. [10:39] hi [10:39] sway: hmm.. xubuntu might be what you were thinking of [10:39] i want to play civ4 this sucks [10:39] Slart, chances are youre right [10:39] cedega crossover , wine, ???wtf [10:39] zcat[1], then you're lucky ^^ [10:39] what is the purpose os Kubuntu then? [10:40] recoveringuser: again - please stop with the "wtf" comments [10:40] You want games, you don't want ubuntu recoveringuser. [10:40] haha i got them confused [10:40] all the same to me , i just want a quick way [10:40] prashant: It should be possible to configure your keyboard as 'CoreKeyboard'. And... not having a CoreKeyBoard in xorg.conf should give errors starting the X-Server. [10:40] Zaber, mines root root also so that's fine [10:40] sway: just uses KDE instead of gnome [10:40] recoveringuser: wine is probably agood bet if you want to run Windows-only software [10:40] nah dude, i want ubuntu, trust me [10:40] i just want 1 game [10:40] Oh i see [10:40] i managed to bork my sudoers file, is there any way to change it without needing to boot form external media ? (su/sudo wont work any more) [10:40] ronny: not really, no [10:40] ronny: boot recovery mode from grub [10:40] recoveringuser: quickest answer for running windows programs is easy; run them in windows! [10:40] nah, maybe wine [10:40] sway: KDE 4 is supposed to be a bit slimmer than gnome.. but I think KDE 3, which kubunt still uses afaik, is about equal with gnome when it comes to system requirements [10:40] recoveringuser: as you already have windows, why not run it in windows? [10:40] ronny: or at least, you'll need to boot to single-user mode [10:40] ronny: have you tried visudo [10:40] btw, why is there no real password for root users ? [10:40] windows is gone, poof [10:41] I see [10:41] gabbler: won't work if sudo is broken [10:41] ronny: no [10:41] have a 'wintendo' partition that you play games in.. [10:41] ronny: you can set one with passwd [10:41] recoveringuser, you either check out the wine support online, there are howtos/etc for pretty much every game. Or you use windows. [10:41] ronny: because in ubuntu you're not supposed to use the root account [10:41] anyone know how i can map keys for the terminal? i'd like to map SHIFT+arrow to select text? [10:41] ok :) [10:41] Slart: whats that for a cheap excuse ? [10:41] ronny fang [10:41] Slart is right, dont log into the root account [10:41] i was wondering if it's possible to change the kernal for the ubuntu install to the kernal for umm mediaubuntu(?)or whatever it's called [10:41] well, gona reboot [10:41] brb [10:41] ronny: well.. it's the excuse the ubuntu designers used.. [10:42] fang is the last name of a web host friend [10:42] how do i connecto to a vmware server from ubuntu? [10:43] Slart: btw, what /is/ the password of the root account by default? [10:43] gabbler: I don't really know what should I add to that file and where.... this partition is: /dev/sda4: UUID="4DFF783C46F3D041" TYPE="ntfs" [10:43] ne2k__: it's disabled by default.. no password [10:43] Wispring, i guess you mean the real-time kernel? [10:43] the reason vista has all this new 'UAC' crap and doesn't run everything as admin is because it's a really bad idea security wise; *NIX users have always known this, it just took MSFT about 15 years longer to figure that out.. [10:43] Slart: but no password means you can log in by typing no password, not that you can't log in [10:43] ne2k__: check the password/shadow file.. there is no hash defined for root.. just disabled [10:43] ne2k__: there isn't a password set [10:44] ne2k__: and no.. a blank password still has a hash, afaik [10:44] ah yes. I get it now [10:44] the has isn't blank, it's * [10:44] probably dejiko the one optiized for sound and video production [10:44] minimec: ok i'll google for corekeyboard and configure the usb as corekeyboard [10:44] ok hmm... anyone know how to map keys to behaviors for the terminal in general? the mappings for a bunch of keys are broken relative to conventions used in GUI apps these days [10:44] whoops [10:44] is the one I am thinking about [10:44] prashant: Example for a USB Keyboard as 'Core' http://paste.ubuntu.com/24424/ [10:44] heres what happened: 1) ran updates, 2) added repos for "ubuntu tweak", 3) did apt-get update | upgrade -- got errors, 3) googled, googled, googled -- 4) removed "ubuntu tweak" repos from etc/apt/sources.list, 5) tried installing additional software / updates -- problem persisted -- 6) removed 822.pm, 7) problem worse, 8) asked for 822.pm from group -- pastebin, 9) saved in location //usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm, 10) s [10:44] udo chown root:root 822.pm -- 11) tried to run updates again -- same error [10:45] ne2k__: ah.. yes.. there was a * there... =) [10:45] wtf is ubuntu tweak ? [10:45] guys can we please stop with "wtf" [10:45] 10) sudo chown root:root 822.pm -- 11) tried to run updates again -- same error [10:45] Zaber: is this a clean 8.04 install [10:45] Slart: You always helped me, so I hope you'll now again :) I have a shared windows-linux partition (ntfs) and I use it as my music library... but every time I start my system it has other name and then all my music library in the music player isn't working... what should I do to fix it? the partition is: /dev/sda4: UUID="4DFF783C46F3D041" TYPE="ntfs" [10:46] ikonia: no way.. I'm planning to get a numberplate with wtf on it... [10:46] thanks! i'll try editing my xorg.conf again. if it's relevant btw,i'm on archlinux, not ubuntu. brb. [10:46] zcat[1]: I'm asking nicely - please stop with it [10:46] well -- sortof -- i have installed programs from Add/Remove... under "Applications" but otherwise yes [10:46] dejiko is the real-time kernal the one that is optimized for audio and video production? [10:46] Im trying to install the Driver for a Cinergy T XE DVBT-USB-Stick but during compile i get an Error: make[3]: *** [/home/cypherdelic/af9005/v4l/bttv-driver.o] Error 1make[2]: *** [_module_/home/cypherdelic/af9005/v4l] Error 2 - Can somebody please help me?? [10:46] Nobody can help me ? [10:46] is there a better place to ask questions? [10:46] Zaber: how did you delete the perl module ? [10:46] ronlut: have a look at this http://thetechnut.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/automounting-ntfs-drives-in-ubuntu-804/ [10:46] Zaber: exactly - what command, what clicks [10:46] sudo rm 822.pm [10:47] oh.. sounds like the new automuntux [10:47] sudo rm 822.pm [10:47] amerinese: no, this is the place. [10:47] RonLut: open /etc/fstab... replace the /dev/sd? with the UUID= string [10:47] Zaber: out of interest - why did you do that, [10:47] !uuid | RonLut [10:47] RonLut: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [10:47] to see what would happen [10:47] ronlut: btw the locale is optional [10:47] doesn't matter; problem same as before [10:48] Zaber: to see what would happen ? [10:48] yes [10:48] Zaber: what made you select that file for deletion ? [10:48] if it would detect it was missing and try and fox [10:48] Zaber: you could've just moved it :-) [10:48] Im trying to install the Driver for a Cinergy T XE DVBT-USB-Stick - http://rafb.net/p/fPDVQA31.html - Can somebody please help me?? [10:48] Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm line 65, <$__ANONIO__> line [10:49] or renamed it [10:49] Hello all, where do I download the update (for ubuntu) of pidgin ? [10:49] Zaber: please show me "uname -a" [10:49] renaming would have been a smart choice [10:49] atm pidgin is broken for [10:49] Linux theDragon 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [10:49] ubuntu 8.04 here.. my firefox won't start after a crash - keeps freezing on startup (even before showing a window). strace shows some kind of loop on a mutex - any hints? [10:49] 8.04 [10:50] benvlatout [10:50] firefox is doing some crazy thing with my ubuntu [10:50] Zaber: the best thing I can suggest you do is find someone who is running ubuntu 8..04 with the 2.6.24-16 kernel so you have a reasonable guess that they are at the same update level as you and replace that file [10:50] pvh_sa|wrk: reinstall firefox? "sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox" ... might be a plugin that causing you problems too.. there is a safe start switch.. try firefox --help for syntax [10:50] en francais ? [10:50] question, if I update ruby on a ubuntu platform that's running ruby on rails / mongrels... will I have to restart rails ? [10:51] !fr | benvlatout [10:51] benvlatout: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [10:51] i did replace that file from pastebin [10:51] Slart, tried -safe-mode. no luck [10:51] Zaber: no, re-read what I said. Find someone who's running the same kernel as you so that you have a reasonable guess they are at the same update status as you [10:51] Slart, but thanks, i'll try the reinstall [10:51] minimec: Thanks a lot! It worked. The internal keyboard is now only working on the consoles 1-6. Xorg ignores it. [10:51] hmmm.. opinions on ubuntu tweak? [10:51] aaah sweetness midi's are playing fine now :) [10:51] minimec: please purchase yourselves a beer and send me the bill :) [10:51] like.. will it break stuff? [10:51] pvh_sa|wrk: hmm.. ok. try the reinstall thingy [10:51] Has anyone tried installing linux on an iriver h300 series player? It has a hard disk and two usb connections. My theory is that you can stick a keyboard into one, and a pcmcia card into the other, and you have your own really neat wifi :) [10:51] zcat[1]: I don't like it [10:52] Hello [10:52] I don't even know how to go about something like this, but if anyone has pointers, that would be great [10:52] ikonia: kinda reminds me of automaitx / easyubuntu -- they tend to cause trouble down the line more often than not. [10:52] prashant: I will ;) [10:52] please prompt me where to be catalogue of trash [10:52] zcat[1]: yes, I think it's not a good project at this moment, probably one of the reasons ubuntu isn't supporting it yet [10:52] anyone running kernel 2.6.24-16 ? [10:52] ikonia: otoh it could be a useful thing if done right [10:53] Slart, reinstalling didn't work. might need a reboot :( [10:53] zcat[1]: Tweak, as far as I know, changes settings. I don't believe it installs anything. [10:53] what a firefack [10:53] Zaber: you may be better making a forum post so more people can see your request without constant re-posts [10:53] joystick_: try this one ... ~/.local/share/Trash [10:53] it doesnt run multiple profile [10:53] How does one go about trying to get linux working on a device? [10:53] hey guys, how do you get the wine menu back in the main menu? [10:53] cr4ftyb0n35: what device [10:53] pvh_sa|wrk: reboots usually don't fix stuff like that.. but sure.. it's easy to try [10:54] Oh well, I might play with it anyhow.. I'll let you all know how badly it breaks stuff ;) [10:54] Slart, i know. easy to try, let's hope it works. LOL [10:54] I would like to know, from anybody in-the-know, if 8.04.1 is expected no time tomorrow... if not i shall change my plans ;-) [10:54] hello, is there a possiblity to display a color test screen, so i can adjust my colors perfectly [10:54] ikonia: iriver h300 series [10:54] скажите путь к trash [10:54] .. won't be anything a reinstall can't fix... [10:54] cr4ftyb0n35: I don't think you can run linux on that device [10:54] Shadow_X: it might be hidden by default.. run System, Preferences, Main Menu [10:54] !ru | joystick_ [10:54] joystick_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [10:54] ikonia: any specific reason? [10:55] Slart: i accidentally screwed it up which is why i was wondering how to get it back :S [10:55] cr4ftyb0n35: look at it's architechture [10:55] Hi. How do i verify this "pppd was built without MS-CHAP-V2 support (quite uncommon)." ?? [10:56] Shadow_X: ahh.. don't know if you can do that.. I read something about it on a wine mailing list.. someone requested a feature to rebuild the wine menu.. [10:56] ikonia: motorola coldfire...? I have no clue what that is, just did a basic search that's all [10:56] i dont get why it wont do it as soon as you install a fresh copy :S [10:56] Shadow_X: you could of course reinstall all the wine apps.. but I'm guessing you were looking for something a bit faster =) [10:56] lol [10:56] i just need the menu itself back :S [10:56] cr4ftyb0n35: so see if that arch has a supported platforn, then figure out a way to get a "flash" based image made for it, then put onto your device......thats why it's not possible [10:57] Shadow_X: if I'm not mistaken, Wine saves to ~/.config/menus/applications-merged, and ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs... As far as recreating those if deleted, I've got nothing.. [10:57] DistroJockey, do are you running kernel 2.6.24-16 ? === c is now known as Guest25463 [10:57] Shadow_X: I agree totally.. it could keep a copy hidden somewhere and just rebuild it when you change wine version or something [10:57] DistroJockey, are you running kernel 2.6.24-16 ? [10:57] ikonia: Pretty hard, but there seems to be a linux port for it [10:58] cr4ftyb0n35: try it then [10:58] Zaber, 2.6.24-19-generic [10:58] Zaber: what's the deal with the kernel version spam? [10:58] ikonia: lol, the page's last entry was Jul 17 2007. [10:58] sipior, what? [10:59] Zaber: well, i was just curious why you were asking folks if they were running a specific kernel. it seemed kind of random. [10:59] ah [10:59] i deleted a file [10:59] want to make sure i have the right file for my distro [10:59] or kernel [11:00] Zaber: and reinstalling the relevant kernel package is not an option? [11:00] Zaber: just to clarify - it's nothing to do with the kernel, I suggested using the kernel as a guide to see if someone was at the same update level [11:00] reinstalling is never an option -- only fixing [11:00] Zaber: I also suggested making a forum post rather than keep asking people what kernel version they are running [11:00] Can you create shortcuts to web sites on the Ubuntu desktop? [11:00] Zaber: reinstalling the package, friend, not the entire system :-) [11:01] I can't seem to get bluetooth to work on my inspiron 1520. [11:01] ikonia, i understand -- distrojockey is running the same (general) kernel -- he supplied me the replacement 822.pm file [11:01] so the problem persists [11:01] oh... my.... god..... this is drving me MAD..... I can't get ubuntu to stay connected to the wireless internet for 30 mins before it loses connection, wont reconnect, and forces me to reset.... I am about to rip my linux hdd out and throw it against the wall.... [11:02] drlame_: are you using hidden ssids? [11:02] sipior -- the problem is my package-manager -- its broken [11:02] whats the difference between grub-install command from bash shell, and the setup command in grub shell [11:02] hey i found it! [11:02] should anyone else have issues: http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=619974 [11:02] Zaber: heh, that's unfortunate. how'd that happen? [11:02] don't know exactly === c is now known as Guest16085 [11:03] just delete the wine menu folder and kill gnome-panel. upon reloading, gnome-panel reincludes the menu :P [11:03] hello is there a german room? [11:03] Zaber: he's not running the same kernel as you [11:03] not sure why, but it works :P [11:03] Sam753: sure, have a look in #ubuntu-de [11:03] thanks [11:03] -16 -19 -- close enough [11:03] Zaber: he's running -19 - your running -16 [11:03] Zaber: no it's not close enough [11:03] Sam753 try #ubuntu-de [11:03] Shadow_X: ahh.. good to know.. we might have to make a factoid out of that [11:03] Zaber: a massive ammount of updates happened between -16 and -19 [11:04] Zaber: if you want to ignore advice and do your own thing - do so, but stop asking for help if your not interested in thought through advice [11:04] gabbler: I don't know >.< What are hidden ssids? [11:04] Zaber: what file are you missing? [11:04] yea i figured someone could use that tidbit. i found a few other posts on the forums where no one replied. so im assuming its a fairly common issue lol [11:04] Slart: what type should I write: ntfs or ntfs-3g ? [11:04] Zaber: you could steal it from the package [11:05] ikonia, wouldn't it be more of a perl version thing if it's in /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/ ? [11:05] drlame_: is you access point broadcasting your ssis, ie wireless name, cos network manager does have problems with hidden ones [11:05] how do i add gpg to apt for updating? [11:05] RonLut: hmm.. hang on.. let me check [11:05] gabbler: Yes, I can see the name broadcast [11:05] it says "gpg error: http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates" error thingy :/ [11:05] DistroJockey: yes, it's nothing to do with the kernel [11:05] Zaber: no need to install it, merely unpack the archive [11:06] DistroJockey: I'm using the kernel as a guide to see if someone is at the same synaptic level of updates [11:06] i also just learned to what degree wine functions on a system. i did not know that in order to launch a windows app in wine, it must be executable by *nix :P [11:06] ikonia, *nods* fair enough [11:06] /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm (for kernel 2.6.24-16) [11:06] RonLut: try with "ntfs-3g" [11:06] drlame_: ok, if you you look at your /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg does it say anything about wireless disconnects? [11:06] DistroJockey: eg: dpkg / apt / perl have all had updates, so if your running 2.6.16-19 then your perl version / apt/ dpkg will be newer and may not be compatible with his version [11:06] DistroJockey: kernels only a guide to his update level [11:07] ikonia, true :) [11:07] Slart: so is it ok: UUID=4DFF783C46F3D041 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 ? [11:07] Shadow_X: it doesn't have to.. if it is executable you can just type "hl2.exe" and ubuntu will use wine to run it.. but you can keep it as a normal file and still run it using "wine hl2.exe" === Unislash_ is now known as unislash [11:07] RonLut: that looks like it would work [11:07] how can I set up firefox to start the GNOME default app for a specific filetype? (e.g. ogg -> Totem) [11:07] !ntfs36 [11:07] true, however in the gui, it will only open a shell unless it is +x [11:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs36 [11:07] !ntfs3g [11:07] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [11:08] ikonia: what file is he missing, exactly? (he doesn't seem to want to answer me :). why not just ask after a specific package version? [11:08] sipior: its a perl module 833.pm I think it was called [11:08] sipior: his package manager is broke [11:08] sipior: but yes, your right he could unpack the deb [11:08] Is there a way to shortcuts to web sites on the Ubuntu desktop? [11:09] ikonia: i see, thank you. [11:09] ikonia, sipior : /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm [11:09] How can i get automatix [11:09] xnv: what happens if you drag an url from firefox to the desktop? [11:09] !automatix | TGD [11:09] TGD: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [11:09] TGD: automatix is dead [11:09] ikonia, please note -- the error im getting now is the exact error i got before i replaced 822.pm (exact). so i'm at a loss why you think 822.pm is somehow not the right version. there is nothing i did to update this file or perl except run apt-get upgrade. after i did this, apt-get is now broken. [11:09] TGD: it's also not support by ubuntu [11:09] xnv, drag the url or the icon from the url to the desktop [11:09] Is there an alternative to automatix [11:09] TGD: no, there is no need for one [11:09] TGD: what can you not setup ? [11:10] azerus [11:10] as in the palm top ? [11:10] Zaber: well, what error are you getting? [11:10] Slart, the_herby: Thanks. [11:10] xnv: you're welcome [11:10] gabbler: so far I see.... attempt to access beyond end of device and message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/wlan0 for sub-path wlan0.dbus.get.host_name [11:10] TGD: what is the problem with it ?

[11:13] Wispring: no [11:14] nice [11:14] any1 knows any software to monitor the browser activity (website visits, users, etc??? [11:14] Wispring: you may still need to set up user capabilities to use it properly [11:14] Slart, the one you posted was the one I mentioned. [11:14] Jane_ux: some sort of proxy, perhaps? [11:14] Jane_ux: What exactly are you trying to do?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [11:27] Slart, i wouldn't know where to get "deb" [11:27] greenfishx3: ok.. then I guess that kind of compression isn't really possible [11:28] greenfishx3: did you just compress the folder? and not the contents? [11:28] greenfishx3, oulaaaaaa..... zip can't compress mp3... you're owned === triffid is now known as triffid_ [11:28] greenfishx3: how did you compress it? [11:28] Zaber: packages.ubuntu.com?

I can't download any firefox addons [11:28] Slart -- zip mymp3file /home/greenfish/mp3datafolder [11:28] triffid_: works here [11:29] WalloO: how do i zip the folder then? [11:29] Ive installed it but it didnt install a program called ubuntu studio just installed loads of other stuff [11:29] anyone know what i am supposed to edit in this http://pastebin.com/m65760b5c the wiki says /dev/sdb (or /dev/sdc etc.) but i cant see anything like that in there [11:29] greenfishx3: you might have to add some kind of recursive switch to that [11:29] greenfishx3, I mean. You can compress it, but you will have no gain in size. [11:29] greenfishx3: so it actually gets the files inside the folder too [11:29] Slart, ping: unknown host addons.mozilla.org [11:29] :( [11:29] WalloO: whys that? [11:29] triffid_: seems your dns server is off on vacation =) [11:30] ok thank you, I have my linux box as a firewall and I can get to it using the external IP, behind my linux box is a webserver with my internal IP.. I have webmin on the firewall and now I want to NAT my external IP to my internal IP. [11:30] triffid_, it works. Maybe one of the router between you and mozilla.org can be down. You can try a tracert mozilla.org to see [11:30] addons.mozilla.org is working [11:30] could anyone help me to configure xorg.conf for my ati hd2600 i have the latest drivers on im just having problems with the login screen resoulitions it say cannot display vidieo mode until i press ctl alt and + or - to toggle screen resoulutions how can i set it to default 1280x1024 ? [11:30] Slart ah okay, well im reading through man zip... cant say I like the way the explain things lol heh [11:30] triffid_: works for me as well, you could try http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and see whether thats able to get to it [11:30] triffid_, that is a dns issue, not about the server being down or up [11:30] triffid_: PING addons.glb.mozilla.com (63.245.213.32) 56(84) bytes of data.

(ha) [11:32] greenfishx3, so just install zip [11:32] greenfishx3, in fact, you may have a gain, but it will be ridiculous [11:32] What is the offtopic channel [11:32] joapinto I have [11:32] hi [11:32] !ot | TGD [11:32] TGD: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:32] greenfishx3, yes, zip is good fro your need. [11:32] WalloO: well okay but in my case im not after size [11:33] WalloO: zip is installed but im apparently not using the right triggers, because the file came out at 200b [11:33] im readin the man zip [11:33] greenfishx3, man zip [11:33] hi [11:33] The command I used for iptables is: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -d (external IP) -j DNAT --to-destination (INTERNAL IP) [11:33] Thanks [11:33] carma: here's a page with lots of examples.. http://danieldegraaf.afraid.org/info/iptables/examples [11:33] could anyone help me to configure xorg.conf for my ati hd2600 i have the latest drivers installed ,I'm just having problems with the log in screen resolutions it say cannot display video mode until i press ctl alt and + or - to toggle screen resolutions how can i set it to default 1280x1024 ?

[11:35] WalloO: the commadn I used was simple mymp3.zip location to my folder [11:35] carma: and masquerading?

[11:36] Yes IP forwarding is enabled and masquerading is working... [11:36] Slart yeah but like I said.. I prefer to do everything in bash [11:36] Linux has viruses?

IIS on a windows box behind the linux box...

[11:43] http://pastebin.com/m711cd8f3 [11:43] is the absence of these symbols perhaps intentional? [11:43] Its not the IIS, its my linux box thats not doing NAT properly [11:44] pidgin is not happy :( [11:44] carma: ok - so why don't you say that [11:44] whitman: thanks for the tip about terminator. just to let you know, terminator has the same bugs that gnome-terminal does with regard to SHIFT-arrow and friends [11:44] carma: what is your natting rule ? [11:44] ikonia: he did, actually [11:44] gordonjcp: really, I just saw webserver not listening [11:44] whitman: it's probably a result of xterm [11:44] that are someone is up to something naughty or msn didn't pay to have there cert renewed ?

[11:50] compiler: haven't seen a link for a solution yet [11:50] Is there any GUI tool for configuring /etc/cups/client.conf (CUPS client behaviour, *not* server)? [11:50] Yeah, you can't have more than 4GB addressable ram without 64bit. But this has 3GB and the other has 1GB. [11:50] Slart, there are no path already? [11:50] hi [11:51] blankthemuffin, do you see a big advantage to using 64 bit? [11:51] any1 knows a good Firewall??? [11:51] Slart, hey man, want to take a shot @ updating flash with me? [11:51] to use with ubunut [11:51] compiler: I haven't seen one yet.. it might be out there though [11:51] I still can't stay connected to the wireless inet longer than 30 mins before I have to reset my computer to get internet back... Any ideas before I run over my linux hdd with my car? [11:51] jeeves__: updating flash? to abobe 10? [11:51] Not really for me, but I don't have more than 4GB of ram. [11:52] Jane_ux: iptables is already installed [11:52] Slart, Yea, to the latest player. I tried d-loading the tarball, and it crashes [11:52] jeeves__: never done that.. I just use the one in the repos [11:52] Slart, thanks, i'll be waiting.. [11:52] anyone has got WPA or WPA2 working with the RTL8187B wifi card before i start working on it? i seen in the forums too many workarounds or fixes. [11:52] ok, but iptables is a bit hard to use, any gui to use with??? [11:52] slart [11:53] Jane_ux: well.. there is firestarter and others [11:53] !iptables | Jane_ux [11:53] Jane_ux: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [11:53] jeeves__: yes? [11:53] Slart, sorry, screwed something up and hit enter by mistake [11:53] ok thanks, i ll av a look in firestarter, thanks [11:53] again :) [11:54] i tried to run "metacity --replace" but all the minimize/maximize buttons are still missing [11:55] someone a idea for installing PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick 330e [11:55] Slart, sipior, well -- reinstalled APT.deb -- still broken, then tried PERL, still broken, then tried debconf, broken still [11:56] xian: try running gtk-window-decorator [11:58] no more ideas on why I can't stay connected to wireless inet? =. [11:58] =/ [11:58] Slart: no change. i'll try logging in as a different user. [11:58] and see if the problem persists [11:58] where can i read up on the basics of shell scripting? all i want to do is write a script that checks if my daemon is running and tries to start it if its not [11:58] DrLame: usually wifi either works or it doesn't.. never seen wifi working "a little" =/ [11:58] hello === dbarcelini is now known as ratifers [11:59] grimsqueaker13, google. [11:59] why does ubuntu show me transfer speeds in nautilus copy but debian does not, even though it uses the same version? is this a addition package? [11:59] someone here helped me with madwifi a few days ago [11:59] (same gnome version) [11:59] and give me a decent patch to get it to work with my card [11:59] grimsqueaker13: the usual way of doing that is to create a small file somewhere when your daemon starts and then your script can check if that file exists [11:59] anyone know the patch for Madwifi and AR242x? [11:59] Slart, someone directed me to this... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3755385#post3755385 but it didn't seem to help [11:59] Slart: thx :) [11:59] will have a look around for that idea [12:00] ls -l [12:00] magentar; wouldn't #debian be a better place for that question? you're asking why ubuntu does it better? [12:00] Slart: i'm now logged in as another user and it's worse than before: the windows now don't even have title bars and it is impossible to resize them. [12:01] grimsqueaker13: or rather.. create a small file containing the pID of the daemon process.. then check if the file exists.. *and* if the process with that pID exists.. [12:01] yeah was not sure where to ask, but i'll do thanks [12:01] Slart: ok, cool, thx again :) [12:01] xian; try holding alt and middle clicking or left clicking.. i actually prefer no window borders/title [12:01] xian: tried the gtk-window-decorator? or compiz-decorator ? I think those both use the --replace switch [12:02] i have some stupid quesion, how i can find file with whereis(i had seen man, but dont understand( )? [12:02] xian; in compiz you can select the option window decoration .. that should give window borders [12:02] whereis is only used for binaries, you probably want to use: locate file [12:03] compiler: whereis searches the previously built index for filenames and folders.. whereis firefox will show all files/folders with firefox in the name [12:03] compiler: update the index using "sudo updatedb".. this takes quite a while on large drives [12:03] jane_ux: have you tried ufw? [12:03] whereis is an alias to locate ? [12:03] Slart, thanks [12:04] bastid_raZor: thanks, but i disabled compiz already. [12:04] compiler: have you tried find? [12:04] joaopinto: oh.. now I'm not so sure any more.. [12:04] hey guys [12:04] Is there pidgin-2-4-3.deb someware? [12:04] joaopinto: it does return folders as well as binaries.. [12:04] *somewhere [12:04] joaopinto: perhaps folders/files in the path? [12:05] Slart, that makes sense, but not index based, that is locate [12:05] joaopinto: whereis - locate the binary, source, and manual page files for a command [12:05] joaopinto: and you're right.. it doesn't use the index.. my bad [12:05] EugZol, it will be available on getdeb today :P [12:05] joaopinto, that's nice =) [12:05] Slart: running gtk-window-decorator --replace has no effect on these settings [12:05] i have ubuntu studio installed on my DELL vostro 1000 laptop, i need a VGA driver? shall i use ENVY or there is something better ? [12:06] compiler: sorry.. I was wrong.. joaopinto is correct.. whereis doesn't use the index.. locate uses the index.. [12:06] xian: and compiz-decorator --replace? [12:06] Slart: it's the same. it just says "starting gtk-window-decorator" and that's it. [12:07] my VGA is ATI xpress 1150....any ideas ? [12:07] xian: then I'm out of ideas.. reboot perhaps? [12:07] !envy [12:07] 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. [12:07] but there's wrong more than only that. i can't tab through my windows anymore. === key2_ is now known as key2 [12:07] Slart: a reboot won't help because it has already been tried :) [12:07] hi, im not getting nay sounds from flash in firefox? ive followed this page but it hasnt fixed anything: http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/07/audio_problem_from_flash_video.html [12:08] thanks anyway [12:08] thanks ubottu :) [12:09] ubottu is a bot [12:09] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. [12:09] fo2sh you may want to thank bastid_raZor for triggering that factoid [12:10] Is there a reason why icq-clients don't get an update from update-manager? [12:10] joaopinto, thanks! [12:11] ubutom; ubuntu has yet to roll out an update for said client. [12:11] yea..ok...sorry i'm bretty new to linux and IRC chat in general :) [12:12] Is it possible to create a public session (like in internet cafes, where you can only run a few apps?) === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [12:12] bastid_raZor: yep, I hope so, Pidgin, kopete, licq... all no go. And I would hate to manually install a new version of pidgin if I can avoid that by using the repos [12:12] hi all [12:13] do anybody knows. how to add ur personal pictures include in google search ? thanks [12:14] ackbahr yes, but i don't know the details, you could set up a custom set of menu's and activities. policykit is one of the parts i think [12:14] ubutom; if a new version of an application comes out today. do not expect ubuntu to have that application updated today in the repo's. they do some testing and tweaking to the package before handing it out to the masses [12:14] Hello. Is there an easy way to force a screen resolution in Hardy? [12:14] dns53: I'll try to look into it, thanks! [12:14] would there be any reason why sound is not working with flash in firefox? [12:15] wok: it seems to be a problem for many people.. you'll have to ask adobe for the reasons [12:15] :( ok thanks [12:15] i have issues with flash in FF3 but FF2 it works perfectly fine [12:16] ive read a few articles that get it working but none do it for it [12:16] *for me === sCOTTo__ is now known as sCOTTo [12:16] Hey guys, I need to install a fresh Ubuntu + some software on it. Then "save the configuration" and revert to it on each reboot. All this using SSD. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

[12:20] whats the usual way of disabling (not removing) compiz automatically on startup? i've been manually disabling... but thats getting old. [12:20] reaktae so you want a read only install and do some hacks to have writes to the file system in memory so it wipes when the ram looses power [12:20] dns53> exactly... or a partition [12:20] whatshisname, get the fusion-icon [12:20] reaktae: ah.. a live cd would work then.. no chance they are going to change anything on that [12:21] Slart: but I need to install additional software + configure particulars... [12:21] reaktae, sounds a bit like what the eeepc has; unionfs with ext2 and no write privileges (in your case) except to memory [12:21] reaktae well my idea is have the root in a read only partition, create a ramdisk and use unionfs so writes are in memory and not the disk [12:22] blankthemuffin: done. thankyou :) === Shadow_X is now known as Shadow_X|away [12:23] hi... [12:23] or use ubuntu customization kit and write to a ssd. [12:23] ao [12:23] dns53: that sounds like it could do... I think I might even be able to set that up with some wiki searches... thanks i appreciate it [12:23] ooo [12:23] problem fixed [12:23] ukie got a question?

That will be the serial device [12:54] messiah were there any errors in the process.. if so what were they, do you have the same exact chipset you need to write a better question than this didnt work [12:55] erUSUL: ok, thank you for helping. [12:55] I'm connected to the internet through a modem/router but somehow I do not seem connected to my lan. Can't ping any comp on the network. Ideas ? [12:55] th0r: it did inform me about the device, but didn't add any /dev device. I'll paste everything in a pastie [12:55] tparcina: no problem [12:55] tomitom007, the firewall on the router may not allow that, or the firewall on the individual computers [12:55] sinan go to a terminal and type dmesg | grep ttyS [12:56] th0r: http://pastie.org/226197 [12:56] Jack_Sparrow ... was that your guide ? [12:56] grobda24 on what [12:56] Hi, my Ubuntu 8.0.4 has stopped automatically mounting USB sticks. It works occasionally, but generally puts nothing on my desktop. In dmesg it shows up. If I type sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/usbstick then I get a wrong fs or bad superblock error. Any help? [12:56] sinan: do "tailf /var/log/messages" and plug the device you should see mesages telling what device node the kernel assings to the serial adapter [12:56] Jack_Sparrow ... the package management guide. [12:56] sinan, the serial port is /dev/ttyUSB0 [12:56] grobda24 dont think so [12:56] th0r: ok, thanks ! :) [12:56] Sure, th0r, but before upgrading to hardy, it was fine. Moreover i'm in dual-boot, and under windows all is working fine [12:57] tomitom007, can you ping the router? [12:57] th0r: what is the proper way to "disconnect" the device? [12:57] No. [12:58] sinan: what, a USB serial port adaptor? [12:58] sinan, I think you just pull it out . Don't think there is any need to eject it or anything [12:58] Jack_Sparrow ... good guide. The myth that linux must be very technical has still not been blown if you ask me. [12:58] sinan: make sure you're not trying to use it, then just unplug it [12:58] how nice ! [12:58] grobda24 Glad you like it.. [12:58] gordonjcp: thanks ;) [12:58] That's why it's so strange. Can't ping the router, but still it shares the internet connection with me [12:58] sinan: it's not like a memory stick where if you just yank it you might corrupt the filesystem [12:58] tomitom007, open a terminal, type 'route -n' and pastebin the results. But quickly...i have to leave for work === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [12:58] tomitom007: is the router dropping ping? [12:59] gordonjcp: still, under windows you have to eject it, i think. But again, windows is stupid :P [12:59] tomitom007: some people think it's a good idea to silently drop ping [12:59] sinan: weird [12:59] hello [12:59] Jack_Sparrow .. :) My Ubuntu feels like some comfy armchair. The prev distro's I had are more like cold hard wooden chairs :/ [12:59] It's my router, I configured it, and I can ping it under windows [12:59] the only thing i dont like about ubuntu is the damn wireless setup [13:00] grobda24 glad to hear it. We try to keep this vhannel for question and #ubuntu-offtopic fro comments and discussions [13:00] ubuntu realizes my card, and even picks up signals. but cant connect [13:00] so annoying [13:00] i'm installing ubuntu 8.04 now i and I like to now what is the best way to create my partitions to share my files with my windows instalation [13:00] joe__: what kind of card? [13:00] if I type fdisk -l, I can see my usb stick is /dev/sdb1... but if I try to sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 it says /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist [13:00] No way to fix external monitor resolution to 1680x1050 without editing xorg.conf directly I assume? Is that issue targeted in Intrepid? [13:00] lobs: use the wubi installer [13:00] joe__ ... check launchpad for the state of the wireless. [13:00] Dell 1359 mini card [13:00] lobs_, just keep an ntfs partiotion from that [13:00] joe__ not a good choice [13:00] lol.... it's my p2p program... that's what's causing my inet to dissconnect randomly forcing a restart. If I don't use p2p it works perfect =D [13:00] hey guys, kiyiko has a question:/ [13:00] joe__, wubi does not help sharing files with windows [13:00] Th0r: http://pastie.org/226199 [13:01] Jack_Sparrow ... ok, where is that policy defined BTW ? [13:01] Do you usually speak about yourself in the 3rd person? [13:01] yes [13:01] jao - i used wubi i can access my windows files easily [13:01] joaopinto vc é brasileiro? [13:01] !ntfs > lobs_ [13:01] lobs_, please see my private message [13:01] this the lpace to ask? [13:01] lobs_, portuguese, but lets keep it in english here [13:01] tomitom007, you have routes for 192.168.0.0 on two different interfaces...one has to go [13:01] No, that's ok, I've got 2 network adaptater [13:01] joe__ I wont use or recommend wubi.. people need to read the faq and understand it is not a good long term solution [13:02] Hi! in the ubuntu wiki, how can I specify that I don't want a word linked that the wiki automatically links? (like "SuSe") [13:02] hi when i load a session, gnome, xfce, fluxbox whatever, after logging in, all i see is the backround and the mouse cursor... any ideas [13:02] joe__, sure, but is not a native installation, you can share files easly using a native installation, reading/writinf from the windows ntfs partition [13:02] nandersson .. what's intreprid ? [13:02] joaopinto ok... Well.. I must set my partitions manually or the partitioner will screw up my other partitions. Wich partitions I must create? [13:02] Well it has always been like that, and working [13:02] how do I scan for the ip adresses in my local network? [13:02] Jack_Sparrow can you explain why it isnt a good long term idea? [13:02] tomitom007, yeah, but you can't have the same route for both interfaces unless you have some sort of load sharing in the routing. Have to leave for work...will be back here in about an hour [13:02] grobda24, Next Ubuntu version 8.10 [13:02] grobda24 Official Ubuntu support Channel in the topic is a good clue as to what we do here [13:02] lobs_, you should use the manual partition option from the installers, it provides a greater control on what you do [13:02] Th0r, I'll be here too. [13:03] joaopinto Yes i know... Linux need 2 partitions right? One ext3 and the other one i don't remember. [13:03] swap [13:03] When I run ps aux the command never completes and gets stuck. [13:03] What can I do? [13:04] ext3 is where the system files will stay? [13:04] ok, so i am getting a kde error, about how dcopserver is not running, and i found a page were the solution was found.....according to people, but i cannot make sence of it... [13:04] joe__ I wont waste my time discussing it.. It was designed as another form of test drive. It was included in the hardy release, (I did object) read their faq carefully and understand what it is and how it differs from a regular install [13:04] lobs_, ext2 should be mounted at / [13:04] Jack_Sparrow .. not clear on this, I have read the pages. Is this channel run by Canonical ? [13:04] is there a way to put my "home" folder in a ntfs partition? [13:04] lobs_ add one more partition for /home [13:04] hoola, algun español aqui? [13:04] lobs_, it may be possible, but not recommended [13:05] lobs_ no [13:05] !es | MiaTuk [13:05] MiaTuk: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [13:05] !es [13:05] brb I need my morning coffee [13:05] ok gracias [13:06] how do I scan for the ip adresses in my local network? [13:06] how much gb the swap partition should have? should it come after or before ext3? [13:06] !swap | lobs_ [13:06] lobs_: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [13:07] grobda24 We are all volunteers and we dont get paid.. [13:07] hello [13:07] hi alll [13:07] lobs_ at least as big as your ram or expected ram expansion [13:07] !pm > vandrar [13:07] vandrar, please see my private message [13:07] omg... there goes 4gb of my hd :P [13:08] lobs_ at todays prices that amounts to about $1 worth of space [13:08] Jack_Sparrow ... so (bear with me, lol), where can I discuss the channel policy ? edit the wiki page ? forum ? [13:08] hmmz, anyone? [13:08] grobda24 offtopic [13:08] k :) [13:08] well when firefox eventually does load its slow and freezes up, I tried reinstalling. I mean its a brand new install, am I just going to have to reinstall ubuntu again?! Has anyone heard of this problem? [13:09] Jack_Sparrow :P. Should swap come after or before ext3? [13:09] lobs_ I usually put them at the end as they are seldom used [13:09] hi all [13:09] Ok. Thanks. [13:09] lobs_ are you dual booting [13:10] hi all, is there a way to reset firefox and force it to ask me to install the official flash plugin? I installed an open source plguin and I dont like it. thanks [13:10] I read only that is a source package called 'cell-sdk'....unfortunately I can't find that package via "apt-cache search", although I have added universe (where the package is supposed to be)...:/ [13:10] plan7 what was the program you are trying to install that depends on it [13:11] Jack_Sparrow i'm installing ubuntu aiming a dual boot [13:11] Joco you need to install flashplugin-nonfree for the adobe plugin [13:11] Jack_Sparrow, well, no programm actually. I wanted to install the cell-sdk, and some guy in a forum wrote 'cell-sdk' on ubuntu would do the trick :) [13:11] lobs_ there is a 4 primary partition limit... you will need to create an extended partition [13:12] Jack_Sparrow I don't got it... Can you explain it again? [13:12] plan7 I take things written in the forum with a grain of salt as anyone can write just about anything [13:12] dns53 how I enable it in firefox tho? [13:12] dns53 I installed it but still get that grey play button on youtube [13:13] Jack_Sparrow, I know, but I checked if there is actually such a package, and there should be: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/cell-sdk [13:13] lobs_ there is a limit of 4 primary partitions on a drive. so if you need more than that you need to use what is called an extended partition which will allow up to 256 logical partitions inside the extended partition [13:13] Joco i'm not sure, is there someone here who knows how? [13:14] co_ganteng [13:14] plan7 which repo is it supposed to be in [13:14] Jack_Sparrow, gutsy, universe [13:14] hello [13:14] can anyone direct me on this pidgin upgrade error? [13:15] Jack_Sparrow, source, not binary :) [13:15] the repositories don't have a newer version [13:15] My HD is partitioned with 250 on a ntfs and 250 on a extended. [13:15] It is not in my gutsy repos and I do have universe enabled, are you sure it isnt just in the hardy universe [13:15] lobs_ great [13:16] Jack_Sparrow, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/source/cell-sdk [13:16] Jack_Sparrow I can use 4 partions plus extended partitions? [13:16] anyone got WPA or WPA2 working with RTL8187B wifi card? because my WPA or WPA2 does not work. i have seen in the forums too many workarounds or fixes, but people say WPA or WPA2 does not work like mine. [13:16] lobs_ no, one of the 4 primaries is the extended [13:16] ok. got it. [13:16] thanks. [13:17] guys [13:17] i need help with installing mad wifi for my wireless. [13:18] messiah: good luck... wireless on linux is a b [13:18] greenfishx3: i had it working on my linux 2day.. but i had to reformat. [13:18] and i forgot how to do it [13:19] Jack_Sparrow, as far as I can see..it should be there,..:) [13:20] How do I share files from a ubuntu machine to another ubuntu machine on my local network? [13:20] plan7 It clearly is not.. it must have been pulled for some reason [13:20] Jack_Sparrow, hm...k :) [13:20] I just enabled source for universe gutsy, updated and could not find it [13:20] speaking of sharing files, can ubuntu see a windows share by default ? [13:20] Jack_Sparrow, same here [13:20] Jack_Sparrow, sad thing....:) [13:21] i'm sorry to bug but.. [13:22] can anyone tell me why during a large file transfer it just says (sometimes) "could not read home direcotry location to .flac" ? [13:22] pidgin now says that my client version is too old, but i can't find anything newer in the ubuntu repositories [13:22] i'm running ubuntu 8.04 [13:22] I'm trying to configure my madwifi drivers and nothing is showing up in iwconfig, and from what I've read it means I don't have the proper stuff set up in the kernel. is there a way to see what stuff is in my kernel so I can see whats missing; and is there a simple way to recompile it with those things without havin to figure out which kernel to download and such [13:22] plan7 If it was pulled there must have been a reason or conflict [13:23] Jack_Sparrow, thought so, but still...it's no fun installing it by hand :) [13:23] sawyer__ what are you trying to connect to. [13:23] Jack_Sparrow, well, will use a virtual machine then :) [13:23] Jack_Sparrow, ICQ [13:24] i found a patch on various sites, but it seems like a patch to the lib [13:24] a binary patch, that is. i don't run binaries or patch binaries this quickly without talking to someone. [13:24] i reckon here would be some responsible people :) [13:25] how do you transfer .flac, and tell linux to stop complaining about reading and various characters :p ? [13:25] plan7 not sure what this is but.. http://www.wtorrent.com/223800.html google of ubuntu gutsy cell-sdk alternative found it [13:25] sawyer__, i heard some else with that too [13:25] Conan The Barbarian/05 Atlantean Sword.flac <-- linux claims "cant read" wrong character, its ENGlish [13:25] sawyer__ what are you trying to connect to. when you get that error [13:25] running pidgin 2.4.1 [13:25] Jack_Sparrow, my ICQ account [13:26] Jack_Sparrow, oh, cewl :) will try that first then :) [13:26] here's a lunchpad link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/244591 [13:26] greenfishx3: how are you transferring that file? did you escape the space in the filename? [13:26] Launchpad bug 244591 in pidgin "Cannot connect to ICQ ("The client version you are using is too old.")" [High,Confirmed] [13:26] sawyer__: 05:26 -!- Topic for #pidgin: There are issues with ICQ - which are fixed in Pidgin 2.4.3 [13:26] 2 [13:26] there's a patch posted there, but it's for pidgin 2.4.2 [13:26] sipior im transfering a very large folder, containing flacs, around 80GB using nautilues, and once in awhile it stops and complains it cant read bla bal bla === Komplex is now known as Komplex12 [13:27] BaD_CrC, yes, i've noticed that, but i want to know if there's something i should do on ubuntu without compiling pidgin [13:27] sawyer__: The devs are at work making an upgrade for that, be patient. [13:27] sawyer__ 2.4.2 can be found as a deb on getdeb.net [13:27] Pici, okay, i just wanted to know, i'm patient :) [13:27] Jack_Sparrow, thank you :) [13:27] sawyer__ note the red highlight.. remove the old one first [13:28] Jack_Sparrow, red highlight where? [13:28] sawyer__ where you download the new debs [13:29] 2.4.3 will be available later today [13:29] sawyer__ http://getdeb.net/release.php?id=2673 [13:29] sawyer_, sudo apt-get remove pidgin*; sudo apt-get auto-remove [13:29] !nfs [13:29] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [13:29] greenfishx3: might be easier to just use cp from the terminal if the source and destination are both local. i've never found nautilus to be very useful with large directories, or (on occasion) with filenames that originated on OS X or windows systems [13:30] joaopinto will that release be in a deb for ubuntu or source [13:30] sipior: I see.. too bad theres no status bar in console, no eta that is [13:30] I'm getting PROPFIND: SSL negotiation failed connecting to my subversion server on Hardy using https (OpenSSL-0.9.8g). I've seen messages where it's a problem with OpenSSL versions but nothing specific or recent, any ideas? [13:31] Jack_Sparrow, deb for ubuntu, but I am refering to getdeb, on the official repositories there will be a patch to the current version, for the ICQ issue, but I guess that will take more time [13:31] hello, i've got [13:31] //192.168.0.10/bram /mnt/nas cifs user=*****,password=*************,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 in my fstab, i've followed this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534&page=2 and i can't create direcotry's with the correct rights. When i make a directory in nautilus is is drwxr-xr-x. But i can still chmod it manually to drwxrwxrwx. In windows the samba share works flawless so the server isn't the problem. [13:31] sipior, thanks anyways though, I guses i have to manually sit here and check each file, wow .. another "cant read bla bla" [13:31] joaopinto Where did you find when it will be on getdeb? === irpan is now known as roberto_kliwon [13:31] hello all [13:32] Jack_Sparrow, erm, because I will be doing it :P ? [13:32] greenfishx3: simplest just to use cp -a /source/path /destination/path. At the very least, you'll get more helpful diagnostic messages :) [13:32] joaopinto Always nice to know the souce.. go get busy and do it [13:32] it is not there yet because I am working ;) [13:32] Jack_Sparrow, alright, will do. thank you ever so much. :) [13:32] sawyer__ wait until tomorrow [13:33] joaopinto if he gets 2.4.2 and patches it will he have the same as you are working on [13:33] Jack_Sparrow, tomorrow it will be fixed already? [13:34] sipior: wont that commadn stop if it cant read one file? or will it transfer the 80GBs and THEN list the errors+ [13:34] sawyer__ see above, joaopinto will be uploading it to getdeb later today [13:34] man you guys are really fast [13:34] greenfishx3: yes, it will stop should it encounter difficulties. but then, it should at least be clearer about the underlying problem. [13:34] sawyer__ thank joaopinto for his time.. :) [13:35] For some reason I lost sound, maybe upgrade to Hardy. Fixed with http://kubasik.net/blog/2008/03/31/sound-problems-in-ubuntu-hardy/ [13:35] joaopinto, where will i be able to check the status whether it was updated yet or not? [13:35] sipior then its the same thing as using the GUI a pain.. I already know the error msg, its complaining about the characte rname of the tile.. and its english no special characters just english [13:35] anyone know how to get screensaver to work (using xubuntu 8.04)..thx [13:35] sipior why cant it just transfer evertying it can and then output the errors? [13:35] sawyer__ it will be on getdeb shortly [13:35] sawyer_, if you refer to the official updates, I am not sure it will be tomorrow, the official updates first go into the -proposed repositories, and just later fo into the official updates [13:36] nobody? [13:36] on getdeb, they will be available between 5:00pm and 6:00pm (GMT time) [13:36] sawyer__ lots of things have to happen before it gets the official stamp. [13:36] joaopinto, great, i'll check during those times and after - thanks [13:36] or sooner, if someone decides to work on them first [13:36] Jack_Sparrow, i'm sure. tests, stability, deployment, etc. etc... [13:36] greenfishx3: the problem isn't the language, but the codepage, i imagine. [13:36] joaopinto if he gets 2.4.2 and patches it will he have the same as you are working on [13:36] i'm a developer too :) [13:37] sipior what does that mean :D ? its a simple .flac (open source) [13:37] sipior: the transfer works if i rename the file to something else [13:37] Jack_Sparrow, yes, he could grab the 2.4.3 source and build from it, or the 2.4.2 and just apply the ICQ patch, it is available on the LP bug report === jacobian_ is now known as yakobmatrix_ [13:37] How would I go about enabling things in the kernel, like CONFIG_NET_RADIO and CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS? Does it involve the full recompiling process? [13:38] are we talking about pidgin? [13:38] hiptobecubic, yes === sokrazy is now known as feuj [13:39] greenfishx3: well, there you go. either that, or figure out which character is common to all the problematic file names. or just deal with it as it comes. does cp -a not work? [13:39] joaopinto: i compiled 2.4.2 pidgin last night w/ the patch on the homepage, it worked fine. [13:39] IndyGunFreak, I know it works fine :) [13:39] sipior: I already tried that method but you see there isnt any special characters its just plain english nothing special at all [13:39] joaopinto: oh, i thought you were having probs w/ it. [13:40] sawyer_, if are really needing ICQ now, you can get an untested package from http://build.getdeb.net/abs/post_build/hardy/ , but like I said, untested :P [13:40] hi guys :) , is there any solution for the choppy voice that my friends hear coming from me in WoW ? [13:40] what's the usual delay between a new version being released and having it show in the repo/aptitude? [13:40] IndyGunFreak, no tks :) [13:40] greenfishx3: no quotation marks? no question marks or spaces? remember, computers don't read english either... [13:41] sipior: I jsut read man cp, "a" stands for archive what does cp -a accomplish? correct NO special characters spaces? yes theres spaces all of my files contains spaces [13:41] joaopinto thanks [13:41] could anyone help me to configure xorg.conf for my ati hd2600 i have the latest drivers on I'm just having problems with the login screen resolutions it say cannot display video mode until i press ctl alt and + or - to toggle screen resolutions how can i set it to default 1280x1024 ? [13:41] hiptobecubic, new versions dont usually get available on updates, only selected bug fixes [13:41] greenfishx3: -a preserves permissions, et alia [13:42] hiptobecubic, it dependson it's criticality, anyway they first get into the -proposed repository to be tested, and later on the -updates [13:42] sipior oh okay, but what do you mean by spaces? my entire linux is made up with various files containing spaces.. im confused O_O [13:43] joaopinto, so i should just wait then? [13:43] greenfishx3: then the spaces are probably fine [13:43] does linux have any torrent programs? [13:43] hiptobecubic, yes, or get the latest version from getdeb when it gets available, your choice :) [13:43] sipior: look at this one: Basil Poledouris - Conan The Barbarian/05 Atlantean Sword.flac <-- do you see anything wrong with this one? [13:43] messiah, a lot of them, transmission, deluge-torrent, etc, just search from the package manager [13:44] greenfishx3: no, but then i'm not a shell, am i? [13:44] can utorrent work? [13:44] with wine? [13:44] yes [13:44] azingo [13:44] meshuga, yes, but you should try a linux native one instead [13:44] messiah: there are billions of linux torrent programs at this point, i think :-) [13:44] sipior: err no...im just trying to rule out a few options.. its obvoius you know a lot more about linux then I do [13:44] yeah [13:44] sipior, billions :P ? [13:44] wine uses too many resources [13:45] sipior if I dont ask or present examples I will never learn [13:45] joaopinto: for small values of "billion", yes ;-) [13:45] messiah, deluge is similar i'd try that perhaps? [13:45] hi, do i need to write stuff in xorg.conf to switch my graphire wacom tablet to absolute positioning ? or is there a gui ? [13:45] deluge, transmission, azureus [13:45] hiptobecubic: thanks [13:45] يشس [13:45] azureus is a resource eater, java :P [13:46] mesiiah imo transmission is better if your using private scene trackers as deluge and some others are not allowed [13:46] not as bad as wine [13:46] ^^; [13:46] anybody know about synergy + cygwin in here? [13:46] Hi, can anybody tell me what the ubuntu-standard way is to disable servers at startup (mySQL, MythTV). I'm on a budget of 384Mb, so I don't want them to startup at bootup. And manualy starting a little script is getting anoying. [13:46] greenfishx3: my point is simply that windows may have placed an invisible character in the filename, and pasting the name in the irc window won't reveal that :) [13:46] I upgraded to 8.04 and synergy causes key repeats in a cygwin session now. [13:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4957624 [13:47] the guy has the same problems I have but restarting didn't work. [13:47] i wonder if it's possible to mount --bind different directories into a single one [13:48] plato system,preferences,sessions or install rcconf [13:48] just to make it appear as bveing one large thing [13:48] being* [13:48] I need some help getting APT to work on HTTPS :-/ [13:48] Just complains about not being able to find the X.509 cert all the time [13:49] Even though curl finds it just fine [13:49] @aoempires, thx I'll look into it [13:49] sipior: hmm I see... and theres no way to lis those hidden characters in linux? because bash outputs the file exactly as I posted it on irc.. ive checked it twice now, even with ls -a [13:49] greenfishx3: perhaps i [13:49] greenfishx3: i'm mistaken. it's a bit hard to tell these things remotely :) [13:49] how can i change my top/bottom panels color ? [13:50] does anyone know how to set screen brightness? I am plugged in and my screen is still really dark [13:50] sipior oh yeah I can imagine that, its not hte end of the world for me.. I just hope all the other files will be okay since its not complaining about the entire archive just a few flacs for each folder [13:50] lenix_: changing the gtk theme will do it. [13:51] greenfishx3: the files will be fine, you'll just have to move a couple by hand, is all [13:51] lenix_, just right-click on a free portion of that panel and select "Settings..." [13:51] greenfishx3: i agree that it's a bit annoying. i've had similar problems in the distant past [13:51] in the second tab you can change background color, transparency... [13:51] sipior, by gtk theme you mean System -> Preferences -> Appearance? [13:51] lenix_: yup [13:51] any idea where can I find some nice gtk themes? [13:51] other than the ones pre-installed [13:52] lenix_ gnome-look.org [13:52] sipior ah splendid then its not a major issue, since I could always fix the rest manually after the transfer, thanks for taking your time explaining the various htings and how to resolves the usual errors, thanks dude! [13:52] greenfishx3: no trouble, have fun. [13:52] lenix_ just drag the tar onto the open theme manager, dont try to install manually [13:52] alright thanks both of you [13:52] sipior thanks ^_^ [13:53] what about changing the font size of the text on my panels, like Applications Places System ? [13:53] lenix_: it's in the font tab of the appearance dialogue [13:53] lenix_ gconfig-editor [13:53] Hi, all. Is there any web-interface where I can look the versions of packages in different Ubuntu repos in a user-friendly way? I'd like to know the versions of packages in Backports [13:54] sipior, won't that font tab change all of my system fonts?

[14:18] i can boot from livecd yes [14:18] lol Jack_Sparrow, it is reasonable, you don't want to mess up dependencies [14:18] jeriath you really dont need an ipotable manager/firewall in addition to the iptables [14:18] well firestarter likes to have to gui crash, which means no logging [14:19] and i kinda needed that last night and it wasnt there [14:19] firestarter is great!

[14:19] from the little i know it sounds like X is hanging [14:20] it's so frustrating.. install went absolutely fine, everything looked ok, but when i removed the CD and rebooted and then logged in it just sat there [14:20] and every time i login it just sits there [14:20] if the mouse still works then you should be able to still work with VIA ctrl+alt + some number should bring you to a shell [14:20] just a plain ubuntu tan coloured background and the mouse cursor [14:20] I need to run clean.sh file.

Where did they go? [14:25] well i have an IDE to SD adaptor and a 16GB SDHC card which i installed ubuntu on.. i assumed it would be ok since the mobo should just see it as a regular IDE hard drive [14:25] so your trying to make it a bootable SD?

[14:39] hi, i'm having trouble getting my usb mouse to work automatically. it only works if i plug it in and restart (or while the computer's off), but not if i plug it in while it's running. however, dmesg | tail shows that it's recognized and assigned a /dev/input [14:39] mgray: http://wubi-installer.org/ [14:39] ZeroA4: i usually choose to stay one version behind but I went ahead with hardy because its LTS. [14:39] tvl, is this an usb or ps/2 or (even serial) mouse ? [14:40] nixnoob, cool! :) [14:40] oskude, it's a usb mouse [14:40] input: A4Tech PS/2+USB Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/input/input13 [14:40] i now about the 8 th version but i am loking for the 7.10 version [14:40] tvl, then its odd [14:40] greets gents [14:40] how do i print something to all open shells on all logins [14:40] nixnoob, i think most upgrade problems come from using scripts like easyubuntu, automatix or extra repositories [14:41] tvl: Perhaps you need to enable legacy usb support in your bios [14:41] mgray: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=198355&package_id=234923 [14:41] ZeroA4: agreed, a vanilla install is hard to screw up, that said I like to customize so there are a few kinks to work out after an upgrade but nothing showstopping. [14:41] How can i change my keymap? [14:42] Drk_Guy: System, Preferences, Keyboard [14:42] undadecor: lol, i forgot i am on kde4 [14:42] Guillaum3: wall [14:42] does anyone know how to update the nvidia driver to the latest in gutsy? i can't seem to install envyng because the python-central in gutsy is too old.

Can anyone help me with configuring Broadcom 4310 wi-fi card? [14:43] I am trying to add a word to aspell but it dosn't seem to be taking the words, aspell -a mynewword* is that correct [14:45] nixnoob, i did try to update it from the one on the website. but it wants me to shut down the x server. if i reboot in recovery mode, it tells me to change to level 3. but if i do telinit 3, x server loads though.

[14:45] nixnoob, yep [14:45] my ubuntu box is refusing to boot off its raid1 - I did an apt-get upgrade and now it complains that mdadm can't find any devices listed in the config - where do I start? [14:45] daYZman-w: write this down before you do anything [14:45] nixnoob, gutsy [14:46] daYZman-w: once you've downloaded the driver file in your /home folder you press ctrl+alt+f1 this will drop you to a terminal then you sudo chmod +x driverfile* [14:47] Hi, all. Can anyone help me on configuring Dell 1390 (based on Broadcom 4310) wi-fi? It's Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop [14:47] How much can I screw up, using fdisk, in terminal?

[14:47] nixnoob, ooh ok. i tried stopping x with init.d gdm stop but that didn't work [14:47] If I perform a sudo and enter an incorrect password, then re-enter it, it fails with a "segmentation fault" error. is anything common/can be fixed? [14:47] FuRom, total deletion of all data on the hard drives. [14:47] daYZman-w: then you sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop in order to stop X [14:47] nixnoob, i'll use the console as you suggested [14:48] daYZman-w: after that you can sh driverfile* and after the installer finishes sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [14:48] ilembitov, for my 4310 - on my hp laptop - i had to use the ndiswrappers guide.. let me find the url i followed. [14:48] Dr_willis, I'm tryin to completely wipe my 2nd hard drive, it wont mount and it has a broken copy of windows on it and all. [14:48] hello! is there any ETA for the new version of pidgin to be in the repos? [14:48] in anyone else having problems with constant instability in memory intensive programs? F-spot for example? or firefox running flash videos? They crash ALL THE TIME and i don't know what's going on or how to find out. [14:49] ilembitov, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#head-d8ce0e35a4ccdbeddd6cf36f9cb23a11d8e0e9dc [14:49] hiptobecubic: I have your firefox+flash crash problem. haven't been able to solve it. [14:49] Dr_willis, do I have any worries about rendering the hard drive un-usage? [14:49] How much can I screw up, using fdisk, in terminal---- nice one my kinda guy LOL [14:49] Dr_willis: Thank you [14:49] FuRom, fdisk can delete the partitiosn, which you can then remake and format. If the drive is having a hardware failure - that may be why it wont mount. [14:49] any advanced backup solution out there (like backuppc but bugfree...) [14:49] hi, will reconstructor work with Hardy? [14:49] FuRom, unuseable? not really. Unless the hd is allready broken. [14:50] Dr_willis, it's ntfs format, it refuses to mount because I didn't properly close windows last time. xD I just want to wipe it. [14:50] ilembitov, in that guide - my card was trying to load the 'wl' module - which is not mentioned in the guide. I had to blacklist that module. [14:50] FuRom, fdisk can delete it easially enough. [14:50] FuRom, or use gparted [14:50] ferric84, well that's great. lol [14:50] Dr_willis, thanks ^_^ [14:50] hrmm... is it right that I'm running Xorg 1.4.0.90 on Ubuntu 8.04? [14:51] what's the easiest way to burn an image cd from hardy?

Just curious... [14:52] what does : GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed mean? [14:52] Drk_Guy, Dr_willis: oh, haha, alright. that was easy [14:52] Blinkiz: It exists, but don't remember it, lol [14:52] poosenki: :) [14:52] Blinkiz: a bit hard to get 'fancy' with man pages :D [14:52] Blinkiz: They're all text anyway [14:52] Blinkiz, i know the kde file manager has the man:/manpage kioslave.. i was thinking gnome had a similer thing.. :) [14:52] Blinkiz: try xman [14:52] man page 2 html :) [14:53] Blinkiz: system>help can view man pages [14:53] mmm.. no, xman doesn't seem right [14:53] Blinkiz, yes. the software is called "yelp" [14:53] love your terminal! :) [14:53] Yelp - thats the sound my dog makes when i roll over his tail with my computer chair. [14:53] how do i set up the file permission for my homefolder (eg chmod 660) without messing up the folders (when using chmod -R) ? [14:53] briareos: where are the default menue entries configured? [14:54] Dedi, i tend to use the 'find' commmand to assist in such tasks.. let me check my scripts. [14:54] g6pd, thanks, I'll google it, if what I'm currently tryin doesn't pan out ^_^ [14:54] # Script to fix permissions on all files below current dir. ---> find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 664 [14:54] ping [14:54] Dr_willis: i thank you [14:54] magnetron: well, yelp does not seems to be able to read man pages. [14:54] * neiljmorrow pings room [14:54] Dedi, i got 2 scripts one for files, and one for dirs I use to 'fix' their permissions when they get messed up. [14:55] * FuRom bows to Dr_willis. [14:55] joaopinto: for VMware, will the player keep any changes made, or do I need the workstation installed to do that? [14:55] Dr_willis: can you hand me the folder script too? :D [14:55] neiljmorrow, /ping [14:55] Dedi, for directories its --> find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755 [14:55] Blinkiz, it is [14:55] Dedi, the only change is the -d, and the mode. [14:55] joaopinto: what I mean is that if I install anything during the player, will it keep track of my installs when I close out of the player? [14:56] Maarekstele, yes, the player keeps the changes [14:56] Dedi, i got those 2 lines, in 2 scripts i call 'FixFiles' and 'FixDirs' :) [14:56] magnetron: okay. If I write "man virt-install" I get a man page. if I write "yelp virt-install", it says it can't find the file [14:56] Dr_willis: thank you. got the same names ;)) [14:56] Shutting down after a week! Test is successful! [14:56] oh no, my second names fixfolders ;) [14:56] Dedi, if you have a lot of nested files/dirs. You may need to run the commands more then one time. [14:57] Dr_willis Write a script that will restore permissions on all of the folders of a base ubuntu install.. [14:57] Dedi, because some times it cant fix the files till the dir is fixed. [14:57] magnetron: Well, its not important. Was just curious if someone had made a "fancy" gui for man pages.. :-) [14:57] Jack_Sparrow, Ive never managed to mess those up. :) [14:57] Blinkiz, you should start it without any arguments. [14:57] Dr_willis: sure, thanks for remember me on that [14:57] Dr_willis It seems that lots of people have. [14:57] Blinkiz, i am reading the man page for "man" in yelp as we speak :D [14:58] Jack_Sparrow, a lot of people should think befor they act. :) [14:58] how come if I have my task bar to auto expand and keep on bottom it defaults to top on a reboot? [14:59] ------ Ive never managed to mess those up------ still young [14:59] Dr_willis, a lot of people do think and don't correctly guess the outcome of what they're doing [14:59] g6pd, LMAO!!!!!!!!! I'm not worried about no cops checkin out my hard drive. [14:59] g6pd, if I was, the hard drive would be nowhere to be found, for the rest of my life. xD [15:00] FuRom, if you ever enter the US, they will copy your hard drive [15:00] magnetron, I live in the US. [15:00] FuRom, if you ever visit somewhere else and re-enter, then they will also copy your hard drive [15:00] g6pd, that was a good laugh man. It's note worthy xD [15:01] magnetron, meh, my computer ain't leavin the US anytime soon ^_^ [15:01] FuRom DOnt take that info lightly [15:01] Jack_Sparrow, which info? ._. [15:01] Ubuntu > Windows [15:01] g6pd, been using unix and linux since lets see.. egads im old.. 1986 or so. [15:01] OS X > Ubuntu [15:01] FuRom Big brother copying your drive [15:01] if my system failed to boot & I got dumped to a shell, how can I edit files? I'm stuck a prompt that says (initramfs) and I've managed to mount my filesystem... [15:02] Jack_Sparrow, the thing about my hard drive being copied upon entering the US? [15:02] Dr_willis: You are old, I was 1 year old then ;) [15:02] ASULutzy, i got PC's older then you! :) [15:02] Jack_Sparrow, oh [15:02] i would like to see a tool to watch unused but installed packages [15:02] whats the fastest command to rename a file in bash+ [15:02] how can i run .exe files?? do ihave to install wine?/ I already have it..but i dont know how to use it..pls help [15:02] greenfishx3: mv [15:02] greenfishx3, i would try 'rename' or 'mv' :) [15:02] how can i run .exe files?? do ihave to install wine?/ I already have it..but i dont know how to use it..pls hel' [15:03] mien07, 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' [15:03] mien07 /join #winehq [15:03] oh its that easy lol thanks ASULutzy Dr_willis [15:03] mien07, actually if you double click on a .exe after installing wine it 'should' run. [15:03] Jack_Sparrow, I ain't got nothing worth noting on my hard drive. Nothin illegal or anything. I'm in no way worried. There is some intellectual properties that are mine, and if I ever caught anyone using them, I'd fry their systems, even if it was uncle Sam. xD [15:03] how do I make powertop auto start when in battery? [15:03] 'm stuck a prompt that says (initramfs) <----- to not have that come up anymore, boot up windows, then reboot the computer again, then boot ubuntu [15:03] and it shouldn't come up anymore [15:03] always works for me [15:03] FuRom np.. [15:04] it doesnt work when i execute .exe files after installing it [15:04] mien07 /join #winehq they are the wine support people [15:04] it doesnt work when i execute .exe files after installing it dr. willis [15:04] Jack_Sparrow, I need some extra storage space, and decided my 40 gig that I let windows waste space on, could make me some money. xD [15:04] hmm, so when you first install ubuntu that prompt comes up? [15:04] mib_w5u9234b: this is a headless server running only ubuntu :) I know what the problem is, my grub config file is messed up, I need to edit it to reflect my correct raid array settings, but I dont seem to have any editors in that shell :P [15:05] mien07, try the command line way then. [15:05] ASULutzy: Dr_willis how do you take care of spaces? im trying to rename a file using tab for faster view, but i cant locate it since theres a lot of spaces [15:05] how? [15:05] hallo, bin neu hier [15:05] Bogaurd: That's one thing I realllly wish Ubuntu would fix. Ubuntu absolutely hates booting from a degraded array. What's the point of having a RAID-1 if Ubuntu won't boot from it easily without having to fiddle with stuff [15:05] greenfishx3, with fancy quoteing -> 'file with spaces' [15:05] hi pals. i have a question. can i burn an .iso file using only terminal? [15:05] greenfishx3, or 'escape' the spaces file\ with\ spaces === mib_w5u9234b is now known as OS_X [15:05] Bogaurd, you know that you can edit the startup setting of grub also from the grup "start up screen", just press "e" on the menu item you want to edit (or i missed your point) [15:05] Stravroulis: yes [15:05] greenfishx3: either use quotes or put a backslash before the spaces, like cd /media/windows/c/program\ files/ [15:06] wer spricht deutsch [15:06] thanks Dr_willis and ASULutzy [15:06] oskude: oh, nice. I didnt know that! will do that now :D [15:06] Spaces in files name = Bad Karma. :) [15:06] ouhouhou [15:06] Hulk: you might find #ubuntu-de more useful to you [15:06] g6pd, lol, something just occurred to me. Deleted date can be retrieved, even after you write it over with 0s. [15:06] ich kann deutsch sprechen ;) [15:06] Bogaurd, but they are only temporary, and i font know if you can save them from the there [15:06] !de | Hulk [15:06] Hulk: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [15:06] g6pd data* [15:06] FuRom, exactly [15:07] magnetron, lawl, my initial cop idea is premo, if I ever have anything worth hiding xD [15:07] Hello. I have 2 little questions. First of all, i have a HP pavilion dv6000 notebook with Ubuntu 8.04. How can i make the suspend function work? the keyboard is in english, but some times i have to use special characters found in spanish distribution, but I have to remove that distribution and then add it again...In ubuntu 7.04 i didnt have to do that....thanks a lot!!! [15:07] Bogaurd, and when youre finished to edit, press "b" to boot that menu entry (doesnt matter how deep youre are in editing) [15:08] Stravroulis: http://sharkysoft.com/tutorials/linuxtips/cdcommands/ === pradip is now known as smu_pro [15:08] sipior: appereantly the mask thing is a bug in hardy? i think that is not worth the status low...https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/242618 [15:08] Launchpad bug 242618 in glib "Nautilus and other gnome apps using incorrect umask for new directories" [Unknown,Confirmed] [15:09] are you guys already discussing this bug? ubottu..you have the same prob as me? [15:09] on5sl, ubottu is a bot [15:09] !being alive [15:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about being alive [15:09] ubottu, never has problems :) [15:09] Dr_willis: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:09] (lol... :p so he searches my link) ) [15:09] on5sl: interesting [15:09] oskude: no worries, I got the system booted, that's the main think :) [15:09] thing* [15:10] how do I make powertop auto start when in battery? [15:10] undadecor: thanks pal ;) [15:10] So as far as I can tell this is a Windows problem, not an Intrepid/Hardy/Ubuntu/Virtualbox problem, but figured I'd ask to make sure... I've got a .vdi image that has XP on it, it boots fine in Hardy, but when I use Virtualbox in Intrepid it goes to the Windows menu about safe mode, or boot normally etc, and no matter what I pick it blue screens and reboots immediately. Who's to blame? :P I want to say Windows since VB is tech [15:10] hi .. is there a winamp for ubuntu ? [15:11] whats the best mp3 player ?? [15:11] Vegombrei: I'd use amarok, it's a really good music playing app [15:11] sipior: what do you think about this bug...? i think is is worth a higher priority...shares are becoming more and more common...and when in the next release of ubuntu mounten shares becomes more easy it will cause a lot of problems for new users i think [15:11] !best | Vegombrei [15:11] Vegombrei: 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. [15:11] Vegombrei, audacious [15:11] how do I make powertop auto start when in battery? [15:11] Vegombrei, audacious is nice. look in the package maanger - thers a dozen to chose from [15:11] 4!media [15:11] any FF expert here? [15:11] !media [15:11] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [15:11] ASULutzy: Try different ACPI/APIC etc. settings? Different HAL maybe. [15:11] Vegombrei, xmms is no longer in Hardy.. :) so ignore that one. [15:11] Vegombrei there are a lot. Perhaps you want to try rhythmbox for gnome, or amarok for kde [15:12] <|v|4s7e|2> how do i set a folder and all sub files and folders readable and writable to everyone [15:12] hmm, this system freezes totally when I try to check the hard disks I have, I mean I prolly am mounting them to check windows formatted areas, then it asks the password and I prollly have given the wrong one, and this system totally freezes [15:12] zelrikriando: ask a question and maybe we can help [15:12] achadwick: Yea, good thought, I'm at work now, so I don't know if I should be fiddling with Alpha software on company time, but we'll see ;) [15:12] on5sl: well, it should certainly be fixed in an LTS release, for the reasons stated there. [15:12] [locales] In which packages can I checkbox my locales (with dpkg-reconfigure)? [15:12] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [15:12] E: Unable to lock the download directory [15:12] i get an error like this [15:12] well, it's not the problem really, the problem is that I do not know how I can check the disc quota, available space on hard drive etc. [15:13] sipior: so should i do something now? [15:13] Vegombrei Do you have more than one package manager open at once? (You can't have synaptic, and update manager, and aptitude, etc) going at once [15:13] undadecor, I want to force firefox to open a unique window and to not re-open a window once the first one is there...but a new tab instead [15:13] ASULutzy: nope [15:13] !dpkg | Vegombrei [15:13] Vegombrei: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [15:13] on5sl: not much you really can do about this, at the moment. [15:13] Vegombrei: tried sudo or root? [15:13] how do i create a simple gui application that allows the user to choose from running one of two scripts and runs in the notifcation area? [15:14] Oops, what's the factoid that tells you how to force unlock.... [15:14] undadecor, I already managed to do that for when I click on links and stuff but I want it to keep just 1 window at all times [15:14] sipior: so for now making dir's with and chmod them with terminal... [15:14] ASULutzy: should i apt-get dpkg ?? [15:14] nixnoob You need to find a programming channel [15:14] Vegombrei: No lol [15:14] !aptfix [15:14] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [15:14] !fixadept [15:14] :) [15:14] :) [15:14] i don't like the idea when changing my umask...that affects all my dirs on my local machine... [15:14] I'm full of fail ;) [15:15] I am in ubuntu at this moment on iMac hardware. I will reboot into osx to see if that is the problem [15:15] ASULutzy: well ?? [15:15] zelrikriando: i'm having a little trouble understanding. it gives you multiple windows when you run firefox? [15:15] Jack_Sparrow: ill just post in the programming section on the forum, i just thought i'd get a quicker response here. [15:15] Vegombrei:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [15:15] undadecor, when I click on the FF icon twice...I have 2 windows [15:15] I have to say I am becoming less impressed with mac hardware. this is the first mac I have owned [15:15] nixnoob, zenity is a nice gtk-gui tool for bash, but dunno if it can work as you describe.. (last i looked it could only do messages on the notification area) [15:15] nixnoob there are irc channels like bash and c++ [15:15] if i have vim in the term how do i print from it so i can get a copy from my printer? [15:15] and probably the last [15:15] zelrikriando: what happens if you click once? [15:16] undadecor, open one window [15:16] zelrikriando: is that what you want? [15:16] Jack_Sparrow: i dont kno what tool i need and hence what channel i need, this will be my first attempt at anything even resembling programming. [15:16] Hello. So I have a python script which traverses through a directory with around 60K XML and for each XML found calls anotther app called "AAA" to do some processing on the XML. I started the python process like: nohup python pythonscrip.py. Now in the morning, I had to kill it due to some other technical issue. But whenever I do top, I see the process "AAA" running. How much I try to kill it, another process gets started with "AAA". [15:16] Vegombrei: Thenyou could do sudo apt-get install amarok (or audacious, or whatever) I prefer amarok, lots of others in here voted for audacious [15:16] i even did "killall -9 AAA" [15:16] ASULutzy: already done ... i get the same error ... [15:17] psykidellic, you need to kill AAA's parent process, check the PPID on ps [15:17] undadecor, my question simple : I want 1 FF window....not 2 not 30...1 and this no matter what I might do [15:17] Vegombrei: Did you do the first command I gave?  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [15:17] is there any easy way of finding out how much of my discspace is used?

If you just CAN'T wait a couple of days for the official fix... Get 2.4.3 from getdeb.net ... Remove current Pidgin with sudo apt-get remove pidgin*; sudo apt-get auto-remove ... Then Install Pidgin 2.4.3 [16:00] <_hp_> i have edited all my sources, did apt-get update and i still keep getting Package libapache-mod-ssl is not available, but is referred to by another package. [16:00] http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pidgin/pidgin-2.4.3.tar.bz2 [16:00] hey, question -- my friend is on a computer I set up to SSH into. How can I make a window pop up to tell him something? [16:00] is upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 affects repository lists and the upgrading stuff? [16:01] How can I read ext3 from windows xp? [16:01] AhmadSherif: if it didn't change your repo list, you wouldn't be upgrading [16:01] I've made sure that nautilus-cd-burner is installed, and all the gconf settings for autoburn. nautilus --no-desktop burn: works fine, but Nautilus just won't run the command. And yes, the blank CD is displayed as a blank CD on the desktop. [16:01] ziroday, use google it's the top result [16:01] phixxor: xmessage "message" [16:01] ziroday, thanks :) [16:01] how can i fix keyboard layout - i set czech but it type azbuka [16:01] ziroday: I think it's called fs-driver.org [16:01] or something [16:02] but use google to be sure [16:02] <|v|4s7e|2> how do i add an ethernet card [16:02] how often does kernel update please? [16:02] Ziroday: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [16:02] jbroome, i only ask because there are lots of software updates available but there is no thing from my update manager [16:02] tzd, anytime a critical fix is required [16:03] hippu: phixxor: found it, thought it was not aplicable as it says 'ext2" [16:03] Ziroday: it'll work [16:03] what does vim-erl and vim-python do in vim? [16:03] ziroday: great! yeah, it's the same fs really, just without journalling [16:03] on DosBox ubuntu, i am having some dificulty mounting my usb pen drive. i have it on media/USBPEN/abandonware fdisk tells me /dev/sda1 - i haeve been tring all commands but i cant mount. searched google and cant find info. anyone experienced on dosox? [16:03] vim-perl [16:03] dosbox [16:03] ziroday: so when you use windows it won't take advantage of ext3's journalling [16:03] can someone help me? I having problems with installing the newest version of Ubuntu [16:03] joaopinto: i see. Was wondering since recently there's been a new update almost every week which makes it a hassle every time i want to run VMware since i need to "recompile" it for every update [16:04] AhmadSherif You mean programs you use have been updtaed but the updates are not in your repo yet.. that is normal [16:04] <_Brun0_> hi all. i did: apt-get install firefox-2 on ubuntu hardy. how can i tell ubuntu to use firefox-2 instead of firefox-3 now when command firefox is executed? [16:04] phixxor: I am aware thanks :) [16:04] _Brun0_: remove firefox 3? === |v|4s7e|2 is now known as Master9 [16:05] After ubuntu loads the install, I get this message 7 times User not known to the underlying authentication modul [16:05] Bruno.. how do u execute ff3? from menu or CLI? [16:05] <_Brun0_> Ziroday, that's tha lazzy man's way. i want to keep firefox-3. but i want to use firefox 2 as default. [16:05] Jack_Sparrow, I mean that, for example, Transmission has released version 1.22 and there is nothing from update manager [16:05] Serellyn what version of ubuntu [16:05] the newest [16:05] <_Brun0_> UnFred, from normal icons.. normally the command is firefox %u [16:05] an older version, does work [16:05] AhmadSherif, only critical fixes are provided on updates, not new versions [16:06] u can change that to the actual path of firefox2 ..cant u ? [16:06] _Brun0_: I'm lazy :), erm dunno sorry [16:06] new versions are updated every 6 months? [16:06] <_Brun0_> Zigtown, i appreciate your effort [16:06] <|C|> hallo [16:06] _Brun0_, I believe you can change it with: update-alternatives, but i am not sure [16:06] <|C|> German ?¿? [16:06] ikt: yes [16:06] <_hp_> i have edited all my sources, did apt-get update and i still keep getting Package libapache-mod-ssl is not available, but is referred to by another package. any ideas ? [16:06] ikt, yes [16:06] <_hp_> it's really really od [16:06] ah ok [16:06] when you right-click or middle-click on the maximize window button when using compiz, it changes the way that the window is maximized. is there any way to get this functionality (or something similar) in gnome without using compiz? [16:07] joaopinto, so, how can I make the system update the existing software? [16:07] <_Brun0_> joaopinto, yea! i remembered! thank you! it is that.. now i'll google for it [16:07] AhmadSherif correct... unless someone verifies that it does not mess up something else and takes the time to package it.. it will not be in the repos.. If you must have the very latest release of something you need to build it yourself. 6 months old in a windows app.. is nothing, people see a release of something 30 days ago and just must have it.. go figure [16:07] !info Transmission [16:07] transmission (source: transmission): free, lightweight BitTorrent client.

[16:12] joaopinto, that would be great :) [16:12] does anybody use mdadm with raid1 on the system drive? [16:13] Bogaurd: I do [16:13] I'm still getting my error, I've checked and I am pretty sure I have all the right libraries, I'm having problems compiling Sim-IM with cmake - I run cmake -D USE_KDE3:boolean=false successfully, then when i try to run make, it gets halfway before giving this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24477/ can anyone help?

[16:15] Bogaurd: Everytime I upgrade my kernel I get dumped to a busy box prompt on the next boot and I have to essentially reassemble the raid [16:15] babolat, what package was it ? [16:15] getleft site grabber [16:16] joap^ [16:16] Bogaurd: either mdadm --assemble --scan or mdadm --add (I forget the syntax) [16:16] joaopinto, will i get into trouble if i try to use one of its packages? (it has svn 1.5 :) ) [16:16] joaopinto: ^ [16:16] ASULutzy: hrmm. i just edited the menu.lst and was ready to go.. the arrays seem to assemble just fine, but it complains that it cant fine what's specified in the conf [16:16] Hi. Is there a good bandwidth meter for extensive use that does not reset every 4GiB? I'm thinking of moving to Australia, and they have bandwidth caps. I want to know how much I use in a month.

Haven't spoked to her in 13 years [16:18] SpookyET: I use vnstat in conjunction with: http://www.sqweek.com/sqweek/index.php?p=1 [16:18] Bogaurd: You could always just edit mdadm.conf ;) [16:18] ASULutzy: I did... it's correct :S [16:18] GreyGhost not advised to use that [16:18] hello, everybody. could you tell me please, how to change default runlevel? in ubuntu there is no /etc/inittab, so, i wonder, how possible to do it. i will be appreciate for any help. :-) [16:18] Jack_Sparrow, oki [16:18] Bogaurd: what's the best city in your opinion? [16:19] hmm how do i change list of options that appear when i click the middle mouse button please?

[16:21] I am asking in that channel thanks [16:21] it is not ? any know issues ? [16:21] SpookyET: heh. Adelaide is pretty clean & quiet. Traffic isnt too bad either. Depends on how conservative you are - Camberra or Hobart would be the most clean and safe cities - pretty much 'cause nobody goes there =p [16:21] babolat, just dpkg -L package (and see all the installe files ) :P [16:21] joaopinto Remember how we felt about automatix.. right in their topic they say they wont help you if you have used it [16:22] is there a way to create symbolic links passing parameters? [16:22] ah ok, had no idead about that [16:22] Bogaurd: What do you mean by conservative? [16:22] joaopinto: is that the same with the dialog that synaptic gives you by right-click properties on the installed package? [16:22] SpookyET Bogaurd Please take that to a private chat [16:22] Jack_Sparrow: thanks but that won't help me I'm afraid [16:22] babolat, yes, it should be, and there should a /bin/file [16:23] Jack_Sparrow, while a wait for answer in #winehq, do you know if it's at least possible? [16:23] bruno_, what do you mean ? "ln -s" creates a symbolic/soft link [16:23] g[r]eek some versiond yes.. the latest with everything.. no [16:23] joaopinto: there's none [16:23] g[r]eek, it used to workd, but i think ms is fighting hard against it...

[16:24] Someone in #winehq said I must use IE4Linux [16:24] g[r]eek rendering a website can consist of a lot of factors [16:24] Ajku|a: yes [16:24] g[r]eek, so just follow up with them :) [16:24] g[r]eek, i think there are websites that can show you how your site would render on some browsers... [16:24] oskude, thank you. i'll google for shell scripts [16:25] g[r]eek Read the topic of winehq unless it has changed.. it says dont use it [16:25] I have this problem I try to instal ubuntu on my PC, and I got this error 178.980000 Buffer I/O error on device FD0, Logical Block 0 [16:25] oskude, yeah there are but this is a website I need to log into so I can't just send a link to these screenshot type sites [16:25] bruno_, #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/firefox-2 -P V2 [16:25] g[r]eek Read the topic of winehq... WineDoors, Cedega, IEs4Linux, etc. are NOT supported here [16:25] joaopinto: i found a /bin/Getleft.tcl file.. it doesn't launch using alt + F2 [16:26] Jack_Sparrow, yes not supported. They don't say "don't use it" [16:26] When i want to search a user or a irc room, how do i move to next object? for example i need to find "johnsome", but instead it finds "johnsomeone" [16:26] g[r]eek, well, internet explorer (or lack of common support for open standards) is my reason why i quit making "websites", have fun... [16:26] babolat, run it from a the terminal, it is probably a consoled based app [16:26] can anyone help me [16:26] joaopinto: do: run /bin/Getleft.tcl ? [16:27] oskude, thank you! you saved me 5 minutes and some shell learning =P [16:27] babolat, yes [16:27] Jack_Sparrow: no. It says that #winehq is not the support channel for ies4linux. [16:27] Ajku|a, try blacklisting the module. In a terminal: [16:27] sudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [16:27] and add this at the end: [16:27] # floppy driver since I don't have one [16:27] blacklist floppy [16:27] Also, if in the file /etc/fstab there is an entry like this: [16:27] /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 [16:27] Add a # in front. [16:27] Reboot and let us know if you still get the error message! [16:27] hi everyone. [16:27] opse [16:27] joaopinto: what does "/bin/Getleft.tcl" mean? [16:27] babolat, nothing special, you are just executing it [16:27] joaopinto: what does "exec: 27: wish: not found" mean? [16:28] sorry bout that.. old clipboard [16:28] on linux executables do not have a specific extension [16:28] how do I turn off compiz-fusion and just go back to gnome ? [16:28] babolat, you need to install tcl and tk [16:28] how can i get privelege of super user so that I can act as administrator? [16:28] thank you yerbaby, I will try [16:28] !sudo | smu_pro [16:28] smu_pro: 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) [16:28] sudo apt-get install tcl ?

Try calling them with linux32 prepended. [16:32] * achadwick rules out media and hardware. The autoburn thing is just a difference between Dapper and Hardy (not entirely surprising, but sad to see nice functionality go) [16:32] Jack_Sparrow: Had a few more looks on google regarding the mouse button software list but I'm unable to find anything. Basically what I'm after is this: When i click my middle mouse button on the desktop a list appear with a few programs. I would like to change these programs please.

[16:41] when deluge is running but no torrents are running it's still speedy [16:41] or is there a safe and easy method to stop NetworkManager from loading [16:41] i have installed fluxbox but new programs that i have installed are not being shown . i have to launch them by using terminal . is there anything i should do ?

[16:50] hi all, i have a problem with dns name resolv. ping IP works but ping NAME gives unknown host. resolv.conf is ok, i don't have any firewall problems too and i can't understand the problem. I'm using hardy 8.04, i had a similar issue with the alternate version 7.10 [16:50] God420: give us the url [16:50] What do I do this is my dads computer [16:50] hmmm [16:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24500/ [16:50] i finally got my wireless to work in ubuntu [16:50] iwkse: are you pinging a local name like upstairs-desktop ? [16:50] but it seems it is a bit unstable [16:51] God420: Then I suggest you wait till your dad comes home and he will probably help you. [16:51] God420: my dad isn't know how to use computers [16:51] and he had his office files on this computer [16:51] Jester45: no, google [16:51] God420: your Windows installation is probably intact. Do you get any output from 'grep Windows /boot/grub/menu.lst'? [16:51] God420: pack your bags and join the circus before he gets home [16:51] God420 the best advice is to do nothing, we will gladly help him fix it.. we just dont want you to make a mistake and wipe out his system [16:51] iwkse: can you ping your DNS [16:52] Jester45: it pings [16:52] dpkg had a problem installing some perl libxml bindings, and now trys to install them every time I run apt, and fails. How do I clear them out? [16:52] iwkse: and other computers are able to use the same DNS [16:52] Jester45: yes [16:52] pianohacker: have you tried sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:52] soundray: it says I need permission to access file [16:52] Jester45: Not yet, one sec [16:52] pianohacker: did you try sudo apt-get purge [name of bindings] ? [16:53] pianohacker: i have a similar problem... my is with tzdata [16:53] God420: did you type exactly what I said, everything between the 'quote' marks? [16:53] iwkse: was it working before? did you change resolv.conf ? and is the DNS on your home router or a "real" DNS server that you can configure [16:53] Jester45: It just pops up the same error [16:53] soundray: yes I did "grep windows /etc/grub/book.lst" [16:54] God420: menu.lst not book.lst === Nimblefinger1 is now known as Nimblefinger [16:54] Jester45: not really, i just installed 8.04 and i got this problem, wasn't working before..the same with alternate 7.10 [16:54] God420: that's not what I asked you to type [16:55] Red_Wraith: Thanks, that works [16:55] does anyone know what object i must create inorder to connect to libmyodbc?

[16:55] Jester45: i don't have the right knowledge about how the dns is managed, so i could trace it. But i think it's a bug [16:55] Jester45: i'm not using dhcp, static ip [16:55] Jack_Sparrow: What is that message [16:55] God420 log it and ignore it for now [16:55] pianohacker: try rebooting and see if it tries to reinstall. [16:56] God420: 'grep Windows /boot/grub/menu.lst'? [16:56] Where is add remove programs gone? i need to remove quickly [16:57] God420: if that's your dad's computer, I highly suggest you don't remove ANYTHING. [16:58] iwkse: that is strange as long as the DNS server isnt configured to only allow certain ip addresses i dont know what would be causing it, i dont think its a bug unless its a bug in your network card driver but i would still think it is rare for a bug like this. if you do file a bug report include all infomation that you can or else people will just say its a network problem not a bug [16:58] where can I get free e-books of Linux and others related topics? [16:59] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24501/ [16:59] smu_pro: not being funny, but google, seriously, there are loads [16:59] If you want I can give you a few of my links? [16:59] does anyone know what object i must create inorder to connect to libmyodbc? on windows I would use ADODB.Connection. i've been struggling for days :< [16:59] God420: that looks good. What do you want to do now? [16:59] you'll have to bear with me whilst i pull some of my bookmarks across from my windows partition though [16:59] smu_pro: also www.google.com/linux is for linux searches. it might help remove unwanted results [16:59] iwkse: did you try calling your ISP's tech support? They can be helpful in these situations. [17:00] soundray: i want to get ubuntu out of computer [17:00] God420: be careful trying to so something like that, what exactly have you got on the computer? [17:00] Red_Wraith: this behaviour is with one PC, others works ok [17:01] Nimblefinger: I have warcraft, windows and microsoft excel and word and ubuntu [17:01] God420: did you install Ubuntu yourself? [17:01] iwkse: Yes but this might be a known issue if your ISP has linux support. [17:01] soundray: no, computer man install it [17:02] anyone here is from St. Louis (o'fallon)? [17:02] so why do you want to remove it, if its your dads computer? [17:02] God420: then I suggest you don't remove anything. Just reboot, it will boot Windows automatically === conny is now known as knurra_swe [17:02] God420 follow soundrays advice [17:02] nimblefinger:because I dont WANT LUNIX! I CANT USE ANYTHING [17:03] aloha :) [17:03] God420: im a little north of o'fallon [17:03] jester45:troy? [17:03] yea [17:03] God420: then listen to soundray, and when it reboots you should get a screen with several boot options - use the keyboard to select windows [17:03] I can't mount any removeable devices for some reason... I get this message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24499/ === conny is now known as knurra_swe [17:04] Jester45: thats where my dad went [17:04] Can you block the ship out of there [17:04] God420: lol thats kinda funny [17:04] jester45: i mean to say plane [17:04] Hi [17:04] God420, Jester45: this is a support channel, please take your personal chat elsewhere [17:05] Coggz, is this just hda5? what is hda5? [17:05] soundray should I restart [17:05] no, [17:05] God420 yes [17:05] God420: yes === andy_ is now known as xtknight [17:05] soundray are you there [17:05] God420 then select windows.. [17:05] how do I make XCHAT- Gnome auto ident me? [17:05] God420: the menu.lst and the fdisk -l output you pastebinned don't fit together. I can't get a clear picture of your problem. [17:05] andy_: i have tried a usb memory stick, usb card reader and a usb hdd(in a camera) [17:06] soundray: so what do i do [17:06] anybody know how to compile python modules into debian packages? [17:06] Coggz, (this is andy_ now). so hda5 is what file system? [17:06] God420: I don't have a basis upon which to give you advice [17:06] i just started with the ubuntu/linux thing its pretty hard to start with xD [17:07] articM: are you coming from Windows? [17:07] soundray: can I just remove ubuntu with addremove programs? [17:07] God420: no [17:07] yeah soundray [17:07] ^ [17:07] lol [17:07] and even if you could, that may not be wise if your dad had it installed? [17:07] God420: no its not just a program is an operating system. trying googling that so you know what your dealing with [17:07] does anybody know any spain proxy? [17:08] hda5 is not neccessarily the problem, xtknight, different names. They all worked before, I think one may be fat 16, one fat 32 and the other im not sure (maybe ntfs???) [17:08] for the things i saw i am liking it pretty much [17:08] anyone here from littleton colorado [17:08] articM: some of the basic concepts are very different. I think ubottu has a factoid pointing to a useful article, give me a minute to find it... [17:08] anyone familiar with hda-intel and distorted sound, I have googled but to no avail. [17:08] Coggz, can you pastebin your dmesg? [17:08] God420: why did i guess you were my neighbor [17:08] God420: if you want windows, just try rebooting. That means to go to the menu, choose shutdown, and choose restart. Your computer will restart, and you will get a black and white menu where you can scroll down with the arrow keys and choose windows. Then you can run warcraft in windows. [17:08] God420 the best advice we can give is walk away and do nothing. [17:08] does anybody know an spain proxy?

[17:09] because i learned some basics from that ^ [17:09] you could attend a CLUE meeting, they offer help to newbies [17:09] articM: no, hold on...

It will then offer a screen where you can choose windows. [17:11] Red_Wraith hold off, if his fdisk and menu.lst differ something else has happened [17:12] anyone familiar with hda-intel and distorted sound, I have googled but to no avail.? [17:12] Red_Wraith We need to let one person.. soundray handle this so as not to confuse him [17:12] does anyone know what object i must create inorder to connect to libmyodbc? on windows I would use ADODB.Connection. i've been struggling for days :< [17:12] everything is running smoothly except my audio for some reason im getting errors when I install the driver i downloaded from the supplyer [17:12] Coggz, so i am a little confused, tihs happens with every usb device you plug in no matter what it is and no matter what block device it is? and these drives mount on other PCs fine? [17:12] Jack_Sparrow: Well, then he's probably done something that will only get worse if we try to help him. Terminal commands can get very screwy. It's best if he lays off and lets his dad handle it when he gets home. [17:12] how do i get my wireless interface to permanantly change channels? i changed my router to channel 3 yesterday. i have to do iwconfig wlan0 channel 3 every time i start up now [17:13] Jack_Sparrow, Red_Wraith: I'm not sure there's anything to handle, really.

[17:39] ikonia: thanks for the reply, I thought thats how it was set but tried it and found it was not. and i don't have any shutdown-set command [17:39] Master9: or do you mean to ask how you should configure the card once it's working? [17:40] master9: if you have more than one card you should also see in in the network-manager applet [17:40] rampageoberon: what username did you use to setup ubuntu at install time [17:40] sipior: it was working, i added a second ethernet card, but it didn't work so i removed it, then my old ethernet card didn't work [17:40] jilan is what i used, but i created a new user not part of the admin usergroup and tried with that [17:40] Master9: could you pastebin the output of "/sbin/ifconfig"? [17:41] rampageoberon: that new user - if you do "sudo apt-get update" does that allow it or not ? [17:41] Hi I can't connect to internet using Ubuntu. [17:41] no it doesn't ikonia [17:41] Master9: and also, if you could, the contents of the file /etc/network/interfaces [17:41] Jaseem: elaborate.

It had been working with XP perfectly. Now i installed ubuntu and can't use internet in it? [17:42] Jaseem: what kind of connection do you have (dial-up, dsl), does it run on Static or Dynamic IP? [17:42] rampageoberon: you could remove x permissions from the world in /sbin/shutdown [17:42] sipior, id have to type it all manually, its on a different comp [17:42] ikonia: yeah, i thought so myself, it was different when i tried the same with v7.1 [17:42] rampageoberon: that would stop it [17:42] <^CanadaGuy27> guys is there no way to start an app in 2nd workspace by default?

[17:42] ikonia: okay let me try that [17:42] I have Automatic IP and it keeps changing. [17:42] brb guys [17:43] Master9: in that case, just look to see if any interfaces are currently running, with ip addresses assigned. see if they match the entry in /etc/network/interfaces [17:43] Jaseem: Go to System>Administration>Networking. [17:43] canadaguy: i guess you have no chance [17:43] sipior, /etc/network/interfaces is empty, ifconfig shows lo and sit0 [17:43] ^CanadaGuy27, you may be able to specify a specific window, but i'm not sure on the desktop/workspace. i do know that apps tend to appear on whatever workspace is currently active when it finally loads after launch [17:43] Master9: empty? that isn't right... [17:44] Jaseem: There you should see your network card. Is it activated? [17:44] I can see three options. [17:44] Master9: do you happen to remember the ethernet device your old card had before?

[17:46] Jaseem: if you have broadband with dynamic IP, wired connection should be checked, and it should say address: dhcp. [17:46] Master9: might consider booting with the ubuntu live cd, to see the original install would still work [17:46] Jaseem: is this connected to your computer via USB? [17:47] Im back...

If you can manage that, it'll be easy to use with Linux [18:04] desktop [18:04] ghost_, pidof firefox-bin [18:04] EvilUFO,-EvilUFO [18:04] desktop [18:04] ghost_, or you can use killall like this. killall firefox-bin [18:04] ScripterJ, try switching keyboards from your other computer [18:04] dont work [18:04] :s [18:04] What about windows, will it disable using it in windows? [18:05] ghost_, is firefox even running ? [18:05] are there repositories I could add to get release candidate builds (prerelease testing, like 8.04.1 release)? [18:05] i-bought-an-other-keyboard-to-test-but [18:05] hi, is it normal for gvfs to be sporadic regarding working? [18:05] but-still-same-problem [18:05] Anyone else no how to fix a missing, menu/task bar. I only have 3 desktop icons on my screen right, now, and that's it. I use 8.04 64bit. I'm new to linux and can't figure out what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [18:05] joaopinto: now I tried to rename the menu.lst and let update-grub generate a new one, but except some comments and my windows partition there is no difference between the two files [18:05] ScripterJ: is it only the spacebar or the rest of the keys as well? [18:05] anyone good w/ setting up mbr/grub? I have a situation where my first disk is a raid1 hardware array with XP on it, my second disk is a single IDE disk with fbsd and ubuntu installed, im booted to a live ubuntu disc, i have the install mounted, and I need to edit grub config to boot properly with the paths... but im not sure how to translate them, ie what is /dev/sdc1 and sdc2 in grub config? hd?,? [18:05] Jaseem: no, Windows will work with it as well, once it's set up as a router. You would have to change your network configuration in Windows, though. [18:06] ScripterJ, i guess it's time to reinstall windows :-) [18:06] gverig: 8.04.1 is a installer re-release to include all the updates that have been released thus far. Do you want to test an ISO or are you looking to enable -proposed updates? [18:06] K. [18:06] YES-numlock-doesn't-work-on-two-keyboards-als [18:06] How can i do that. [18:06] also [18:06] Jaseem: it's too bad there isn't any documentation online. I wouldn't risk it without having that. [18:06] hello. i have ubuntu hardy heron .. what do i have to do to get pidgin 2.4.3? [18:06] ScripterJ: This seems to be a hardware issue and not related with Ubuntu. [18:06] Pici, he's using windows xp [18:06] ScripterJ: its fine under windows? [18:06] fonkbar: If you're looking to fix the ICQ connection issue, the fix will be put into our updates within the next few days. [18:06] ru_: Even more reason not to be in #ubuntu [18:07] Pici: ok thanks [18:07] Jaseem: since your ISP provided the router, could you ask them to supply a manual? [18:07] Pici: probably second, -proposed (if they are stable) [18:07] EvilUFO-yes-but-its-0not-good-in-otherone [18:07] fonkbar, you get the critical fixes from 2.4.3 on the updates in a few days [18:07] [ubuntu+gnome] Applications -> Accessories -> Take Screenshot. What will happen next? Program runing? Snapshot saved on desktop? I'm preparing instructions for end users and don't want ignore linux. can you help me? [18:07] joaopinto: thx [18:07] ScripterJ: weird [18:07] Pici: mainly I am looking to get fresher packages, in particular pidgin update (need my ICQ fix) [18:07] ... === dangergrrl_ is now known as dangergrrl [18:07] numlock+spacebar-aint-working [18:08] gverig, either wait for the update, or get the package from a 3rd party page like getdeb, are your own risk :P [18:08] at [18:08] ScripterJ, are you on windows or linux at the moment? [18:08] gverig: Well, -proposed is for testing updates before they are pushed to the -updates repository. [18:08] I checked internet, but couldn't find image of a box like mine. But the name is same.

[18:09] gverig, maybe proposed... [18:09] ScripterJ, this channel support linux/ubuntu specifically .. if you have a windows issue, please go to ##windows [18:09] i have an icecast server on a computer and its running slower than on my other computer even though the connection speeds are the same [18:09] thanks [18:09] gverig: 8.04.1 is stuff in -updates and -security [18:09] Has anyone had trouble with the word count field in the OpenOffice upgrade? [18:10] And i can't play mp3 in linux now. [18:10] http://www.utstar.com/Products/Customer_Premise_Equipment/DSL_Modems/UT300R2U/ Jaseem, there is an image in the PDF datasheet that you can download from this page [18:10] !mp3 | Jaseem [18:10] Jaseem: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [18:10] Pici, joaopinto : OK, I will look into this. Thanks [18:10] Flannel: but is it already there or will it be added there after everything is tested? [18:10] gverig: Is what? [18:11] Flannel: you said "8.04.1 is stuff in -updates and -security". But is that stuff already in official 'updates' or is it still being tested? [18:11] gverig: Things in -security and -updates have already been tested. Those are official updates. Stuff in -proposed is being tested, and depending on when it moves to -updates, may or may not actually be in 8.04.1 [18:12] gverig: By default, your install includes -updates and -security, and you've been applying those updates since Hardy was released [18:13] what does this mean? [18:13] XScreenSaver extension development headers not found. [18:13] gverig: If you were to install 8.04.1 now, it would be identical to a fully updated Hardy install. [18:13] but it is not like mine. Mine is a perfect rectangular prism. === Adam is now known as Rezagrats [18:13] i think it means it didnt find your XScreenSaver extension development headers [18:14] rand0m, thanks for the reply.. so in synaptics what am i looking for to install? [18:14] There is a documentation here :http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmumbai.mtnl.net.in%2Ftriband%2Fhtm%2Futstarusrguide1.0.pdf&ei=WbdrSPzvMIvQ6gO58p3lBw&usg=AFQjCNHFW7qTPSfGcpup5_h3UhYGzGcvoA&sig2=vEe-qU1LlQ7Wu3a4pIfshw [18:14] i dont know.. im a noob.. was just being a smartass [18:14] my bad [18:14] mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/utstarusrguide1.0.pdf [18:14] gavi: What are you trying to install that is asking you for that? [18:14] by some reason my sound just disappared, i tried fuser -k /dev/dsp, and it still doesnt work. anyone experienced something similar and found a walkthrough? [18:15] Jaseem: here's what I suggest: ask your internet provider to supply a manual for your router. Then you'll be able to set up the device as a router (rather than as a modem), and you'll be able to use it from both Linux and Windows. [18:15] pidgin 2.4.3 [18:15] Pici, [18:15] Jaseem: I have to leave you with that -- hope you can fix it. [18:15] Pici: is 8.04.1 already released? I just ran (well, I am running) an update and I don't think pidgin update is there. Pidgin update is in 8.04.1 according to http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-user/117449-pidgin-2-4-3-hardy.html [18:15] gavi, critical fixes for pidgin will be available in a few days [18:16] if i fell asleep during a ubuntu installation, would it have automatically selected the first options for the rest of the installation process until it was complete [18:16] or would it have waited for me to wake up and select the next option it was asking for === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [18:16] gverig: Soon, but not yet. [18:16] rand0m: It waits [18:16] joaopinto: I'm not gavi but thanks :) [18:16] ok [18:16] gverig, sorry wrong nick complete :P [18:17] We are liking the summer. Its the dandy! [18:17] joaopinto: do you know if it's in -proposed yet? [18:17] Anyone else have black boxes next to the bell in Evo's Calendar in the Work Week view..? the boxes are suppose to be the time of the appointment. [18:17] if I edit /boot/grub/menu.lst do I need to run any command to make some change to the MBR or will it still look in that file when I reboot on its own? [18:17] cuz i tried to install a dual boot last night... i have a 160gb master drive that had a win xp on it, and all my media.. i didnt touch this one during the install... i installed ubuntu on my 15gb slave, insteading to dual boot or atleast be able to mount the master drive to access my files [18:18] jbeez: it looks in that file.. no need to change grub [18:18] thx [18:18] and i chose the right option while partition (i chose "erase entire disk" and chose the 15gb drive) [18:18] now ubuntu is working fine from the 15gb.. but it doesn't load a boot loader to choose ubuntu or windows, and when i load ubuntu - i can't see my other drive [18:18] I want you to say hello to Eino, a very good friend of mine thats here on this hackerparty!

That'd be hd0,0, but you know that. [18:27] no [18:27] Im installing ubuntu on my laptop, but the netgear WG511 wireless pc card doesnt work how can i install it? [18:27] it only boots windows fine, unless I choose the bios f12 boot menu, then I can point it at this seperate IDE drive by itself [18:27] Jack_Sparrow: make it up as i go. lol. couldnt find any good documentation. some people have explained it as most they know.but no one really seems to know a lot [18:27] I am able to boot a live ubuntu CD and mount the linux FS to make changes though [18:27] !usplash [18:27] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [18:28] Does anyone know where system:/media is located the the root filesystem? [18:28] Jack_Sparrow: Basically i have an image and one of the colors on the image shows, up and the other doesnt [18:28] Jack_Sparrow: and i can't figure out why [18:29] windows isn't on hd0 or hd1, its on both of them, as a raid1 array through the onboard raid controller, so trying to boot either individually gives me the finger, not really worried about booting to windows through grub though, I can hit F12 to get grub, and do nothing to boot windows, I just want grub to be able to boot linux and freebsd, it can't boot either right now [18:29] joaopinto, i downloaded the lib file but same error [18:29] gavi, you must install the -dev package [18:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24520/ how do i fix this? [18:29] i installed whatever it was via synaptics [18:30] installing network-manager-dev does provide it [18:30] anyone? [18:30] I know it's better to install windows first, then Ubuntu, but can you do the opposite? Windows as a dual boot onto an existing Ubuntu system? [18:30] yes michael_buckbee [18:30] michael_buckbee, yes, you just need to reinstall grub later [18:30] michael_buckbee: Windows is a bit hoggy, so you might have trouble. [18:31] yes, what joaopinto said.. you can reinstall grub with live-cd [18:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24520/ how do i fix this? [18:32] So install Windows into an unused partition -> install grub via live CD and hope that it can pick up the original ubuntu install? [18:32] Currently my keypad does not work. Anyone know why this is? [18:32] Im installing ubuntu on my laptop, but the netgear WG511 wireless pc card doesnt work how can i install it? [18:32] Or can anyone suggest a fix? [18:32] Is there a tool to check open sessions ? ( like xp computer management , it shows you open sessions, what other users are currently using from your pc over LAN ) [18:33] SNuxoll, you there?

Please, how do I ask for a backport to gutsy of the new pidgin? thanks [19:45] sburwood, you might like to read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories [19:45] antonsky: Did you try the last command I gave, the one with sudo? [19:45] btw means "by the way" [19:45] yes [19:45] thx ompaul [19:45] Trash is now empty [19:45] ASULutzy: Why are you using sudo for that? [19:46] ompaul, I want to get on the Internet, but can't get access to the modem [19:46] s3a, maybe you ate too fast :) [19:46] That's going to cause no end of problems, ASULutzy [19:46] and don't have money to buy another [19:46] Stormx2: He had a file that he was unable to delete.

[19:47] Mimi: I used to get that too. Could you pop open a terminal and type "uname -a" (without the quotes) and hit enter. Gimme the output. [19:47] !firestarter | lucas_ [19:47] lucas_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [19:47] antonsky: You are running hardy heron right? Not Gutsy Gibbon? [19:47] lucas_, you are locking something you should not [19:47] lucas_, you sure? firestarter only really deals with inbound traffic usually.

Check your disc. log is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24525/ [19:51] Hello I'm having problems trying to boot into Ubuntu on my Dell Optiplex 320, it ends up haning at a screen where the cursor is blinking in the upper left then in the middle there is a 'b' character on the left a green block in the middle and on the far right another green block, how do i fix this? [19:52] OK, my ubuntu system after 6 months of usage is very slow with compiz (it wasn't even a bit the first 2-3 months - i created a new user - its with the comfortable speed) so, whats the problem? Do I have too many progs. installed or what? I want the speed back!! [19:52] how to make Backup of your xorg.conf??? [19:52] I have a problem with a samba mountpoint. If I change my session, the permissions change, but i don't know how to control them [19:52] Ronald: it is an actual store bought cd? [19:52] Luxx16126: copy the xorg.conf paste to a usb stick or cd rom, or another partition [19:52] err RonLut i mean [19:53] white_eagle: i've noticed that, too...reminds me of windows [19:53] Hi people, i only want to say that i make a program.

[19:53] saint-takeshi: me too [19:53] is there any way of allowing a normal user to mount a samba mountpoint? [19:53] Luxx16126: if you just need a quick dirty way of doing it, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_bak [19:53] hi [19:53] now i know the reason [19:53] antonsky: What was the problem? [19:54] saint-takeshi: so I think I should create a new user or something and continue from it [19:54] :P [19:54] trash in nautilus works only when i am using gnome but not with another wm [19:54] ASULutzy that command is not working [19:54] its really sluggish with compiz!!

[19:55] Luxx16126: you asked how to make a backup. That made a backup. It copied your current xorg.conf to xorg.conf_bak. [19:56] Hi people, i only want to say that i make a program. Its a GUI for the command Alien, its more user friendly. The url for the project is https://launchpad.net/aliengui Enjoy and tell me if there are errors. [19:56] Ronald: hrmm..one sec..I dont use brasero anymore..let me look at something with it though...you need to be able to make an iso of it though..i cant remember though if it does that...

[19:57] Pyroar: Looks cool, I never use alien, but I know some people do ;) [19:57] RonLut: when you try to do a 1:1 copy what does it say? also i assume you are coping to your hdd first right? not using 2 burners.. [19:57] Dot2Kode: lol.... you are not the first with "Ronald".... I have only the dvd writing DVDROM, so I make the source and the writing the same.... [19:57] kk_ubuntu: Batteries don't last forever ;) [19:57] one time it shows battry is 100% charged and provides 3 hours of battery backup [19:58] is ti possible to get a deb package for gcc-4.3 in hardy ? thanks [19:58] kk_ubuntu: Your battery will hold less and less charge the older it gets [19:58] Dot2Kode: I tried to do image first, then burning it but still doesn't work (same error) [19:58] does anyone know if there is any work arounds for wmode in flash plugin issue? [19:58] now while doing the same activities ant same tasks it shows fully charged but 2 hours battry run time [19:58] ASULuztzy, its a cool tool :).

In ubuntu all works very good, but no good working OpenGL programs - Image Blinking [20:00] kk_ubuntu: It's complicated, for one your battery holds less and less charge the older it gets, secondly your processor speed and brightness and other things are probably set to change based on certain criteria. For example my brightness dims when I unplug my laptop from AC, also my power management for disks changes, lots of things happen [20:00] * Ronald sends Dot2Kode a cookie for his excelent nickcompleteskills [20:00] Need help for set-up a printer tnxs :) [20:00] Please enybody help me!

What does it mean that I am not logged in and how do I do that? [20:00] i dont see point of guide to make Backup of xorg.conf when i paste that command to terminal then nothing happens [20:01] whats the command for checking your [20:01] IP adress [20:01] Varak_, if you do that - you bring down the system - so don't [20:01] RonLut: it sounds like its that disk..when you burnt it did you burn it at a high speed? [20:01] ok [20:01] Please enybody help me! Big trouble with Ati HD2400 ! In ubuntu all works very good, but no good working OpenGL programs - Image Blinking [20:01] neospd: It's a known problem, the only work arounds I know of are either to a) stop using compiz while using openGL apps by typing metacity --replace &, or by going to the compiz-config-settings-manager and turning on disable full screen redirect (this fix only works for full screen apps) [20:01] Hey i set up a samba share and now i can view a .avi file which is on there.. it says CANNOT READ FROM SOURCE. Please help [20:01] Varak_, sorry, i misread -- it should be safe to remove -- but perhaps backup [20:01] ok, i have a problem with mounting usb removable drives... [20:01] neospd: Also don't spam. [20:01] ok thanks [20:01] Luxx16126: What are you talking about? [20:02] RonLut: lot of times when you burn system disks like those...if you burn at a faster speed they tend to act very strange...hehe.. [20:02] Luxx16126: You made a backup of it so that when you edit xorg.conf if you screw it up horribly you'll have a backup copy to use [20:02] !pm > neospd [20:02] neospd, please see my private message [20:02] If i enter a samba mountpoint with a user which is not the default user, which user is used in the server part?

[20:03] thanks [20:03] robuntu: use ifconfig [20:03] ifconfig [20:03] DanL: join the club. The only way it works for me is if I disable the nvidia driver [20:03] ok, i have a problem with mounting usb removable drives... http://paste.ubuntu.com/24499/ is the error message i get when i try to mount. This applies to many devices, not just one stick. Anyone got any ideas??

Generally the best way to fool around with resolutions is to click system -> preferences -> screen resolution [20:04] !pm | neospd [20:04] neospd: 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. [20:05] neospd: neospd: It's a known problem, the only work arounds I know of are either to a) stop using compiz while using openGL apps by typing metacity --replace &, or by going to the compiz-config-settings-manager and turning on disable full screen redirect (this fix only works for full screen apps) [20:05] Dot2Kode: ;) ok so I guess nothing to do :\ [20:05] Need help for set-up a printer tnxs :) [20:05] ok, i have a problem with mounting usb removable drives... http://paste.ubuntu.com/24499/ is the error message i get when i try to mount.

[20:06] Luxx16126: So do gksu gedit etc/X11/xorg.conf edit it appropriately, save it, and then restart X with ctrl+alt+backspace [20:06] Hi, suddenly my wubi 8.04 installation shows busybox on startup, it used to work good, has anybody ever heard of this problem and knows how to fix it? Thanks in advance. [20:06] Luxx16126: Are you sure you have the right driver installed? Usually if you have the right driver it should be able to output at the correct resolutions [20:07] RikT: Don't use Wubi ;) === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [20:07] Hi, i have a strange problem after configuring postfix to use mysql. All mail that is send to the internet gets relay=virtual [20:07] Hi is there still a website where we can download deb files of programs that have not been packaged by their owners yet? [20:07] ASULutzy: Maybe you're right, but I don't want to face those problems with a real ubuntu installation ;) [20:08] Oh found it www.getdeb.com [20:08] ok, i have a problem with mounting usb removable drives... http://paste.ubuntu.com/24499/ is the error message i get when i try to mount. This applies to many devices, not just one stick. Anyone got any ideas?? [20:08] ASULutzy...i just bought a new lg monitor...it had some kind of driver installition cd-s on with it...tryed t install some of them but..some of them coulnt installed i think...it seemed like that...and its telling me the old reso...1024X768 [20:08] RikT: Not trying to be too big of a jerk, but you don't get these problems with a real installation. The fact is that when you use wubi you are installing to a file inside of Windows and who the heck knows what Windows will do it to break it :P I'd say your best bet is to post on the ubuntu forums in the wubi subforum === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [20:09] is there a way i can check on progress of a uif to iso conversion with uif2iso? [20:09] Luxx16126: I meant your graphics card drivers [20:09] how i can disable full screen redirect? [20:09] Is there a package anywhere for the gmailagent prog? [20:10] ASULutzy...ooh...sorry...hmmm i havent touched my nvidia drivers... [20:10] HOW TO update to Banshee 1.0 ? [20:10] ASULutzy: Ok, thanks, but is it hard to remove a Ubuntu installation? I'm not planning to switch to Linux totaly, and I'm planning to sell this computer to a no-linux person. [20:10] neospd: sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager && ccsm [20:10] &&-? is what? [20:10] Just copy paste that. [20:11] ok [20:11] is there a utility to configure power management in ubuntu? my processor keeps reducing to 1.6 and I don't want it to [20:11] neospd: Then once ccsm opens up, click general, and check "unredirect full screen windows" this will fix flickering, but only in full screen apps [20:11] neospd: && runs the ccsm command after the apt-get install finishes [20:11] Hey i set up a samba share and now i can view a .avi file which is on there.. it says CANNOT READ FROM SOURCE. Please help [20:11] but... what it do? Open GL not work after that? [20:11] neospd: The alternative solution to make all openGL windows stop flickering, (not just full screen) is to type metacity --replace & [20:12] is there a way to monitor conversion process of uif2iso? [20:12] s3a I'm not familiar with the app, but I would see if there's a -v flag or --verbose [20:12] neospd: It makes it so compiz doesn't try to do fancy effects to full screen windows (that's what unredirect full screen windows does) the other option (metacity --replace &) switches compiz off and turns metacity on. You can switch compiz back on by doing compiz --replace & [20:13] Luhta: i type that extension to the main command in another terminal and it should tell me the progress without stopping the conversion process? [20:13] ASULutzy, neospd that will fix it yes, but it will also cause an annoying flicker when you switch to and from full screen mode such as for example to rotate the cube [20:13] Thanks!!! Very Thanks! Working! ^) [20:13] Hi, all. Can anyone help me with configuring Broadcom 4310 please! I can't solve the problem for the last two days [20:13] s3a, as I said I'm not familiar with the app, --help should tell you if its an option [20:14] neospd, Luhta: Yea, but for playing full screen games it's the best solution if you ask me [20:14] neospd: No problem [20:14] ASULutzy is that screen resolution changing rly that hard? [20:14] ilembitov: Sure, type this in a terminal, lspci | grep Broad [20:15] and give the output here [20:15] Luhta: ok but wether it works or not it shouldnt stop the process right? im asking cuz ive waited several hours and i would definetely not like to restart waiting ;) [20:15] ASULutzy, well that's a matter of taste, personally I like a light colored theme, and it is not fun to play a game less than full screen with a light theme. And raising the gamma is a pet peeve of mine [20:15] s3a oh you mean an existing process? probably not [20:15] Luxx16126: hard is relative, I don't think it's that tough to add a resolution line to a file and restart X [20:15] How to update to BANSHEE 1.0 ? [20:16] the only hard part is understanding the syntax, [20:16] ilembitov: I would do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ndisgtk unzip && wget http://myspamb8.googlepages.com/R174291-pruned.zip && unzip R174291-pruned.zip [20:16] is there a utility to configure power management in ubuntu? my processor keeps reducing to 1.6 and I don't want it to [20:16] Luhta: o thx anyway [20:17] Has anyoen used GmailAgent at all? [20:17] Luhta, cpufrequtils [20:17] Is there any way to play wmv file in 64bit Ubuntu besides installing 32bit mplayer ?????? [20:17] ilembitov: Once that completes, click system -> administration -> windows wireless drivers, and browse to the .inf file that the unzip command creates, tell it to use that .inf file [20:17] MasterShrek, thank you [20:17] np [20:18] mad_max02, did you add the medibuntu repos? [20:18] MasterShrek, yeah I did [20:18] definitely, you will need to get it from some 3rd party site like getdeb [20:18] hmm, mad_max02 i always use xine, seems to play most things, but vlc should be able to play anything (or so ive heard) [20:19] joaopinto: ok thnx for info [20:19] MasterShrek, vlc didnt help either. I used to have installed mplayer32 on 64bit gutsy. I didnt install it since I moved to hardy. Now I'm looking for a way to play them without installing mplayer32 but if I dont manage it I'll have to install it.

Specificly postfix?

[20:22] I have a little prob, i would install an Usplash and now i am in the recovery mode in a terminal, what i am suppose to do??? [20:23] Caesi: du, but you'd have to pipe it to a few things [20:23] hi.. how do i acccess by console the folder: program files... cd program files? [20:23] Caesi, check: ls --help [20:23] btw who knows what went wrong in the kernel so the touchpads need 2 bootparameters to work? [20:23] MasterShrek, I did. Nothing came up. There was a discussion I read some time ago on one of the forums (I cant remember) saying that mplayer64 can play wmv with no problems but something has to be done. Maybe I'll find it. Till then I'll have to find a way to play wmv. I need those videos for my training. [20:23] I'm not eable to instal my brother Mfc-5460cn , I've dne evrething said on brothers help [20:23] thnx!

[20:25] find . -size +2G [20:25] thanks [20:25] MasterShrek, do you happen to know of something to control cpu scalling that has a frontend? [20:25] MasterShrek, cpu scalling is not something I want subject to typos [20:26] Luhta, doubtful, just use the cli, its not that hard [20:26] some1? [20:26] I get nothing but silence over in postfix [20:27] uit [20:27] What would cause sound not to work in more than 1 application at a time with ubuntu? [20:27] have you tried totem. wmv works fine for me in totem [20:28] maybe you don't have the win codecs installed? [20:28] Has anyone had any success installing apache on a local Linux system? When I type in http://localhost into a browser, the browser hangs. I even tried restarting the apache server. [20:29] I have apache working. Not sure I can tell you how. It was a bit miraculous. *L* [20:29] daemon3: It's usually not that tough to do, mine worked right out of the box pretty much === arashO|away is now known as arashO|o [20:29] Hm. How come nothing pops up when I type http://localhost, then? [20:29] daemon3: is the webserver running? [20:30] Yes. [20:30] I followed the directions in Ubuntu documentation. [20:30] Hi. I've got a problem with my laptop. When I restart, it fails to load the graphic card and doesn't start ubuntu. However, if I shutdown and start, it works fine. How can I resolve the issue? [20:30] I think I solved a problem regarding symbolic links in order to make it work ... if that helps. [20:30] daemon3: is your /etc/hosts got your hostname? [20:30] s/is/has [20:30] Yup. [20:30] daemon3: Yea, what if you try http://127.0.0.1 === Rafik__ is now known as Rafik [20:31] I just about get the same thing. The browser says it failed to connect. [20:31] daemon3: use this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Install_a_LAMP_server_on_a_Desktop [20:31] Yes. [20:32] BuFF, I mean, I did use that guide. [20:32] It worked fine up until I was trying to test the web page. [20:32] weird than [20:33] daemon3: I could have sworn all I did was sudo apt-get install apache(2?) and then threw some stuff in /var/www/ ;) [20:33] anyone know how I can activate full duplex mode?

[20:43] Luhta, i dont remember, but i think it needs to be set everytime, i believe the initial setting is in the kernel, just add the command to a startup script (let me find where it is in 8.04) [20:44] hello i a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection how can i see all drivers available for this device?

[20:45] supertanker: Did you recently install a different operating system? [20:45] ASULutzy I just put Xubuntu on [20:45] Luhta, i think the file you want is /etc/rc.local [20:45] I have 4 different OSs [20:45] takamarou, is an utility which allows to install the latest nvidia/ati driver from their site [20:45] Luhta, those commands will be run as root right before your login prompt [20:45] supertanker: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297261 might help you, something hosed your grub install, you just need to fix it [20:46] joaopinto, I've got the latest drivers from their site..

I can't remember [20:46] MasterShrek, alright thank you [20:46] MasterShrek, the GDM (or KDM) starts much before /etc/rc.local is invoked -- infact rc.local is the last script to be invoked by init [20:46] fingerprint sensors like my upc biopod-ec are not supported by ubuntu? === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [20:48] ohh [20:49] developers response to my bug [20:49] not yet arrived [20:50] [Bug 233973] Re: resolution for Lg studioworks 700e is not detected properly?

[21:11] agibby5, find /base -name "*name*" -exec rm {} \; [21:11] daemon3, err, last time .. change the permissions on /home/user/public_html/ to the right permissions [21:11] agibby5, use it with caution [21:11] hey i asked something [21:11] unop: I did. [21:11] about quad core pc [21:11] A long time ago. [21:11] daemon3, ok, so that does this give you now? ls -ld /home/user/public_html/ [21:11] Sorry if I was confusing. [21:11] unop: Same error. I thought I said that already. [21:12] Sorry. [21:12] SO can anyone help me install cdrtools-2.01.01 [21:12] whats the command that tells you the ubuntu version? [21:12] is there any way to make the window switcher in the panel in metacity show icons only, like an os x dock? [21:12] daemon3, so you haven't changed the permissions like i told you to -- am i wasting my time trying to help you here? [21:12] <^Ocean^> Flannel, Hmm, but now its caused another problem... I can no longer mount my Windows Harddrive. if I run qtparted, I see the drive as /dev/sda and the partition I want too mount /dev/sda1, Yet when I goto mount the drive, /dev/sda1 does not exsist [21:12] the_herby: lsb_release -a [21:12] the_herby: lsb_release -a [21:12] * unop i think i am [21:12] ....wtf? [21:12] thanks [21:12] unop: I changed my permissions like you told me to. [21:13] will ubuntu work with latest quad core pc with sata 500gb hdd,ati card,p35 mobo,lcd monitor and webcam .... [21:13] i have problem with existing webcam "frontech india brand webcam" [21:13] reported bug [21:14] hi, does anyone know how to setup ubuntu to read Memory Stick Duo cards? [21:14] daemon3, ls -ld ~/*public* [21:14] anyone here familiar with cdrtools? [21:14] Hellooooo [21:15] Josdell: what's your real question? ;) [21:15] Josdell, being familiar with something, and building it from source is a different thing [21:15] Josdell, please be more specific, what is your problem ? [21:15] ok i have a question [21:15] hello all, I want to install ubuntu on my PC but I get error and then it opens busybox with no desktop (when using bootable disk [21:15] <^Ocean^> Josdell, Cdrtools, is genearaly a back end for front end GUI applications too use [21:15] daemon3, anything? [21:15] Im playing an online game called Runescape which runs Java, my computer meets the reccomended requrments but im lagging, is there a way to allocate my ram to java or firefox? [21:16] unop: Yup...if I log in as that user. The permissions are read and execute all. Only "others" can't write to the file. [21:16] ...directory, rather. [21:16] Kidfork, there are some java options to provide memory, but better ask on #ubuntu-java or #java [21:16] To everyone lol, I'm trying to install it from the tar.gz i downloaded from its website, I extracted it, I did sudo make, sudo make install, but I don't think it installed [21:16] I mean, to provide memory for the jvm [21:16] dont spam pls [21:16] im trying to get pptpd to work so that i can connect to it via windows xp. ive followed instructions http://pigtail.net/nicholas/pptp/ but winxp vpn dial in gives error 619... what could be wrong in my config? [21:16] Josdell, did you read the INSTALL/README in the first place ? [21:16] <^Ocean^> Josdell, Did you run ./configure first ? [21:16] joaopinto: yes [21:17] Josdell, btw, cdrtools are available on the repositories, why are you trying to build it ? [21:17] daemon3, as that user (whatever that user is) .. what does this command return? ls -ld ~/public_html/ [21:17] i have a problem with the nvidia driver! [21:17] me too! [21:17] ^Ocean^ didnt have to, the Install file said so [21:17] when i installed it i only can select 320x and 640x !!! [21:17] joaopinto: are you sure? I looked, maybe I made a mistake, one sec [21:17] unop: Same as before. [21:17] <^Ocean^> Josdell, did you run the make install as root ? [21:17] can anyone help em [21:18] ^Ocean^ I did it as sudo command [21:18] unop: My hypothesis is that my home directory has permissions rwx------. It's like shining a flashlight behind a brick wall. [21:18] daemon3, so there is a bid discrepancy here -- you are telling me that the user has the permissions to read the directory but you are getting a "permission denied" which says the user has no permissions over the directory [21:18] Josdell, hint: dvd+rw-tools [21:18] can nobody help me :( [21:18] *cry* [21:18] <^Ocean^> josdell: Did you see any error while doing the make command ? [21:18] !patience | masteredu [21:18] masteredu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [21:18] joaopinto: what the flip, why would it be named something different, gosh! [21:19] unop: Sorry, no. Those "permission denied" warnings was from another user. [21:19] I'm trying to be as helpful as possible. I'm terribly sorry. [21:19] :( [21:19] daemon3, can you paste the output of that ls command? [21:19] ^Ocean^ only something about it being an issue about GNU Make sucking literally it said that lol [21:19] all spam [21:19] Josdell: the cdrtools dev is a loony [21:19] hello all, I want to install ubuntu on my PC but I get error and then it opens busybox with no desktop (when using bootable disk) [ 52.176000] pci [21:20] Josdell: what are you trying to accomplish? [21:20] unop: drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 2008-06-24 12:00 /home/user/public_html [21:20] M1DLG, did you recently install a new hard drive, by chance? [21:20] GNU\colossus: I'm trying to get mkisofs on my System but Hardy screwed it all up [21:20] M1DLG: "error"? could you be a bit more specific? [21:20] takamarou itś a newish drive, has windows partly on it want to wipe it [21:20] daemon3, ok that's fine -- now what about the contents of this directory - do they have the same permissions? [21:20] joaopinto: dvd+rw-tools is already installed [21:21] Josdell: you need to get cdrkit for that, I believe. or rather, get cdrskin and xorriso instead. [21:21] Josdell, what are you looking for ? [21:21] which command ? [21:21] uff [21:21] takamarou itś a full new install i need to do [21:21] <^Ocean^> I can no longer mount my Windows Harddrive. if I run qtparted, I see the drive as /dev/sda and the partition I want too mount /dev/sda1, Yet when I goto mount the drive, /dev/sda1 does not exsist [21:21] joaopinto: on synaptic, I searched and it said it was already installed [21:21] genisoimage - Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem images [21:21] also sounds ok [21:21] unop: Yup [21:21] M1DLG, you had the hard drives working before though? On windows or something? [21:21] Josdell, sure it is, most cd recording tools require it [21:22] daemon3, and apache is still giving you a 403/404 ? [21:22] joaopinto: but i dont have mkisofs, which remastersys needs [21:22] takamarou yes, there ´was´ windows on it, I want to format it [21:22] Josdell, because that one is provided by the genisoimage package [21:22] You don't have permission to access / on this server. [21:22] M1DLG, alright. I dunno then. I had the same problem when I installed a new hard drive and didn't have them set as Slave and Master correctly. If you had it working with windows though, that's probably not the problem. [21:22] GNU\colossus: I tried installing cdrkit, maybe i did it wrong, but right now I'm trying to install cdrtools-2.01.01 [21:22] if you type "mkisofs" on the terminal it does show you what package is required ! [21:22] M1DLG: At what point are you at? Have you performed the install from the LiveCD? [21:23] <^Ocean^> Josdell, why not just install it from the package ? [21:23] I'm trying to transfer my Eclipse (programming IDE) configuration from its windows version to the linux version because the windows version doesn't run smoothly in Wine. Does anyone know if the linux release of Eclipse is actually a windows executable run in a virtual machine while in linux? [21:23] joaopinto: but when I type mkisofs, it says it is not installed it can be installed by installing genisoimae [21:23] Josdell: why don't you install those things from the ubuntu repos? [21:23] takamarou ITś a SATA drive from another machine, but I want to install ubuntu on it instead [21:23] Josdell, so you just need to install genisoimage [21:23] which is available from the repositories [21:23] Josdell: sudo apt-get install genisoimage [21:23] joaopinto: I already have genisoimage installed x_x I'm so confused === linux_ is now known as Guest31973 [21:23] takamarou how did you fix it? [21:24] M1DLG: Does the LiveCD boot correctly into the desktop environment, prior to the install? [21:24] Josdell, open a terminal and type "mkisofs" [21:24] M-C no [21:24] daemon3, hmm, try this, see if it helps - you might want to backup this directory first also. sudo chown -Rv www-data:www-data /home/user/public_html [21:24] swirl: the linux release of eclipse runs in java as far as i know. and it runs fairly smoothly. [21:24] joaopinto:The program 'mkisofs' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [21:24] sudo apt-get install genisoimage [21:24] bash: mkisofs: command not found [21:24] M1DLG, I had to change the pins on my hard drive.. I had my second hard drive set as Master.. but it sounds like that isn't your problem. [21:24] M-C i get to the meno only [21:24] Josdell, now: sudo apt-get install genisoimage [21:24] takamarou thanks ok [21:24] M1DLG: If it does not even boot to the Live CD, then your hard drive is not to blame here. [21:25] joaopinto: says genisoimage is already installed [21:25] swirl: I have eclipse installed in both Windows and Linux, and the files are almost exactly the same in both (only difference is windows is eclipse.exe instead of eclipse) linux version still uses eclipse.ini, the .jar files are all the same I would think (or similar) [21:25] joaopinto: says it is the newest version [21:25] swirl Does the Eclipse application not offer support ? === feanor is now known as feanor88 [21:25] I suspected this, the error has PCI in the description but there is not anything on the physcical PCI ports [21:25] unop: Still a 403 forbidden.' [21:25] Josdell, sudo apt-get remove genisoimage; sudo apt-get install genisoimage [21:26] joaopinto: will do [21:26] jacodt, ASULutzy ok, thanks. i'll try again. [21:26] M1DLG: What exactly is the error? [21:26] hello, I have a problem activating my intergraded microphone. I have an HP-nw9440, and I'm using ALSA. When I press to use the sound recorder the recorder opens normally but then when I try to record nothing is happens. I tried to use alsamixer to activate my microphone but in vain. It appers pretty weird. Here is what it appers in my alsamixer output >> http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2zhed15&s=3 does anyone has any idea how to bypass this problem? [21:26] M-C wait one sec iĺl boot it again - itś very quick [21:26] daemon3, all i can really conclude is that you haven't setup the DocumentRoot for this site properly -- make sure it does point to /home/user/public_html/ and restart the apache server [21:27] I just hit "windows key" + R and now my screen is all magnified... how do I undo this? [21:27] Is anyone else not getting any sound? I checked the ALSA mixer and other sound related options and the speakers still lack sound. I know they work, but I don't know what the problem is [21:27] daemon3, if you are still having problems -- use the pastebin and show the output of this site's config file [21:27] feanor88: Did you try pressing Space or M to select or un-mute it? [21:28] howdy - can anyone tell me how to find out the version of software I've already got installed? [21:28] m-c : yes [21:28] snova: Try super-R again [21:28] Josdell, didn't i already tell you about mkisofs -- it has been obsoleted in favour of genisoimage -- if you are following a tutorial that uses mkisofs, it is outdated, try looking for a more recent and up-to-date one [21:28] Flannel: if that was directed at me I already tried that :( [21:28] feanor88: ALSA issues are tricky. Check the Ubuntu Forums or ask in #alsa as a last resort [21:28] unop: but genisoimage is not working for me at the moment [21:29] M-C [42.960902] pci: cannot allocate resorce on device - the number at the begining is defferent every time [21:29] Josdell, why not? do you get any error messages? [21:29] unop, still the command itself should be available, provided by the genisoimage package [21:29] hugh - You should be able to see it in the Synaptic Manager [21:29] hugh: depends on the software, but you can open synaptic and search for the software - most ubuntu packages shows the version number [21:29] unop: no, but it will not work with genisoimage [21:29] unop: i mean [21:29] m-c: thx - is there a command line way aswell? [21:29] M-C then it goes in to busy box v1.1.3 [21:29] Unop: remastersys [21:29] M1DLG: it is just a time stamp -- have you googled this error "cannot allocate resource on device" yet? [21:30] not yet [21:30] How do i enable the high-quality version of Ubuntu [21:30] was thinking that was next step [21:30] <^Ocean^> Josdell, why not just install it from the package ? [21:30] <^Ocean^> I can no longer mount my Windows Harddrive. if I run qtparted, I see the drive as /dev/sda and the partition I want too mount /dev/sda1, Yet when I goto mount the drive, /dev/sda1 does not exsist [21:30] Josdell, in anycase -- trying to use mkisofs is really barking up the wrong tree - it no longer exists in ubuntu's repos [21:30] ^Ocean^ install what? [21:30] joaopinto: that worked well, thanks a bunch [21:30] <^Ocean^> what ever your trying too compile haha [21:30] np :) [21:31] unop: yes but from what I read it still works [21:31] hola [21:31] !es | Fer [21:31] Fer: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [21:31] M-C i have a bootable disk that can format and delete partitions, would this be a good idea? [21:31] que tal [21:31] How can I save my exact current theme? I made some modifications and I want to have them in a package file [21:31] M1DLG: The first result was for the Ubuntu Forums fix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=597411 [21:31] SO now I reinstalled genisoimage, and when i type mkisofs, in takes me to genisoimage [21:31] joaopinto, the bash-complete package (or whaever it is called) isn't giving him a helpful message - it ought to say mkisofs does not exist anymore, please use genisoimage from now on [21:31] alguien que hable español [21:32] M-C thanks [21:32] Josdell, mkisofs no longer exists in ubuntu [21:32] UnFred, mkisofs does exist, I have it on hardy [21:32] M-C iĺl check it out [21:32] sfire: deactivate the window (click the desktop) and then super-r [21:32] unop, that is not correct [21:32] Someone told me to enable the high quality version of ubuntu, how would i go about doing this.

[21:32] why?

[21:33] fer: Porque es por ingles [21:33] Josdell, I am just proving unop that mkisofs is available from that package [21:34] Kidfork: no - sorry :( [21:34] unop, /usr/bin/mkisofs -> genisoimage [21:34] Fer: trata de hablar en ingles [21:34] Josdell: who are you talking to? [21:34] the point is, it is available, regardless if relies on the genisoimage binary [21:34] Anybody have any idea on how i would go about giving more RAM to java.? [21:34] Flannel: I'm telling a Hispanis that he has to speak english on here [21:34] joaopinto, right there you go -- mkisofs is actually a symlink to genisoimage -- which means, he really ought to be using genisoimage in the first place, no? :) [21:34] halp!!! [21:34] <^Ocean^> Kidfork, they might have a better clue in #Java [21:35] joaopinto, i see where you are comign from -- do you see where i am coming from with this? [21:35] Kidfork: I'm assuming any program should be able to request any amount of memory until resources are exhausted? [21:35] Kidfork: you getting some heap errors? [21:35] unop, I am not sure on that, the binary can provide a syntax based on the calling name, I am not sure wether the link and the real binary provide the same interface [21:35] how do i get the jack server up to run sound on rosegarden [21:35] Josdell: Fer is no longer speaking spanish, and also, isn't even in the channel anymore. [21:35] ^Ocean^: For some reason /join #java does nothing [21:35] Flannel: k, didnt realize [21:36] <^Ocean^> Kidfork, you need too identify your nick [21:36] unop joapinto: so is there a possible solution [21:36] Intrepid: Not sure, what im trying to do, there reccomended requirments my computer exceeds [21:36] jacodt: No it jsut laggs [21:36] Thunderbird is not working well... it started loading old mail from my yahoo account as it was new, then after started not loading my emails from hotmail account, and now also just shuts down suddenly by itself, can anyone help me please?

[21:38] alouuu [21:38] ^Ocean^: ? [21:38] m-c: one track's causes an encryption error in VLC [21:38] Josdell, i would say this - it might be better to look for a more up-to-date tutorial that actually works with genisoimage [21:38] <^Ocean^> Kidfork, man nice [21:38] Josdell, ies, it will run genisoimage [21:38] !icqbug | pwuertz [21:38] pwuertz: A fix for ICQ within Pidgin is currently underway. Within a few days we should see it moved into the -updates repository. [21:39] Josdell, why are you using remastersys at all ? [21:39] minmaxed: Yeah, that encryption stuff is hard to troubleshoot. [21:39] Kidfork: you can try running the jre with -mx X and -ms X options specifying the memory allocation pools (X corresponds to the amount of memory in bytes). [21:39] m-c: crashes in kaffeine, ad infinitum [21:39] joaopinto: To make a Live CD of my system [21:39] m-c: any way to run mplayer in some kind of buffered mode? [21:39] whatever then [21:39] unop: WIll search if this fails [21:39] Kidfork: But that is usually only necessary if you run out of heap space. [21:39] Josdell, have you tried with uck ? [21:39] minmaxed: I use Totem, sorry. [21:39] <^Ocean^> minmaxed, Yes there is, read the manual [21:39] m-c: I even tried dd_rescue'ing the drive [21:39] DJones: thanks :) [21:40] joaopinto: uck? I will search it and see if it fits my requirements [21:40] and reading from that [21:40] !uck | Josdell [21:40] Josdell: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs.

[21:40] HELLO: is there a ubuntu multiboot installer disk that will install server, desktop amd i386 kubuntu xubuntu or any combination therof? [21:40] Josdell, the reason why i say this is -- the tutorial you are following might be using commands suited for mkisofs and might not be compatible with genisoimage [21:41] mrgenixus, the ubuntu DVD image [21:41] jacodt: This is what i get tyler@tyler-desktop:~$ java -ms X512MInvalid initial heap size: -XmsCould not create the Java virtual machine.tyler@tyler-desktop:~$ [21:41] hey [21:41] unop: I installed a version of remastersys that did not ask for mkisofs on install, why wouldnt it still work? [21:41] Kidfork: how do you run the program normally? [21:41] joaopinto: Will uck just let me copy my system? [21:41] Josdell, because remastersys probably works independant of mkisofs [21:42] Josdell, or genisoimage [21:42] Josdell, no, neither will remastersys, if it does, then it will not work with ubuntu [21:42] I only have alsa base package installed. Could that be why I can't record anything? [21:42] Is there a help channel for cheese? [21:42] Josdell, does that remastersys things lists Ubuntu hardy as a supported distro ? [21:42] Thunderbird is not working well... it started loading old mail from my yahoo account as it was new, then after started not loading my emails from hotmail account, and now also just shuts down suddenly by itself, can anyone help me please?

I had to remove the hotmail account . Hotmail disabled their webprotocol today [21:43] m-c, not sure whether it has the server installation script -- but it has the standard LAMP packages availble for install [21:43] Josdell, grrr. then you should be sure before wasting all the time you did until now, CD/DVD remastering is not a general procedure that you can apply to any distro [21:43] Josdell, it might be worthwhile looking into UCK like joaopinto says [21:43] m-c: nice website, thx [21:44] joaopinto: Im pretty sure it worked until Debian into some big arguement with cdrtools [21:44] unop: will look into uck as a solution [21:44] plouffe, so, now thunderbird won't work with hotmail accounts? [21:44] jacodt: does it have builtin cam supported? ie. skype [21:44] HELLO???: how do i get the jack server up to run sound on rosegarden [21:44] How can I upgrade my firefox to FireFox 3?

Could someone explain to me why for, I think, the 3rd time in 2 weeks do I have to install the same versions of updates?

[22:13] lynet: what command clears the cache? [22:14] LordTaeleon: Just ask your question on 8.04 [22:14] m-c - the laptop isn't recognising the cd as a boot disc [22:14] solexious: But other than that, your PC is most likely to ask your ISP's DNS server. And the time that the ISP's DNS server will cache the information on the domain again depends on the ttl. [22:15] LordTaeleon: Most likely your boot settings in BIOS [22:15] LordTaeleon: how did you burn it [22:15] Odd-rationale: Can't create config directory (/home/ubunubi/.w3m)!w3m version w3m/0.5.1+cvs-1.968 [22:15] solexious: Dang, don't remember right now.

[22:30] nickolaus: then use nfs [22:30] loki installers are for windows games and windows apps [22:30] Frogging101: Check out "Wubi" [22:30] !wubi [22:30] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [22:30] I used a few [22:30] nickolaus: Set up an ssh server on each machine. then all you have to do is click places -> connect to server [22:30] thanks === chaky_ is now known as chaky [22:30] asulutzy I'm doing that now. [22:30] Frogging101 read the faq on wubi before you use it [22:30] ASULutzy: what is used "behind the scenes" if you do that? sshfs? [22:31] Does your totem player let you navigate the menus? [22:31] for googleearth and unreal tournament [22:31] Lucifer: Neither loki installers or wine will make every game installable in Linux. [22:31] Frogging101 It is not a good long term soultion and I wont use or recommend using it [22:31] I don't get why each time I start ubuntu I need to edit my network settings and retype wireless password, otherwise it won't connect [22:31] Slart: It does the same thing as typing sftp://the.ip.address.here as far as I know [22:31] I heard cedega is good also [22:31] ya i will [22:32] slart how do I use nfs? [22:32] I don't think it's free though but don't quote me [22:32] ASULutzy: ah.. nice.. really nice.. never tried that before [22:32] cedega is good, but you have to pay for it [22:32] nickolaus: you have to "share" a folder on the server computer.. then connect to it [22:32] !nfs [22:32] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [22:32] nicolah-> stay away from roaming mode and configure it for specific essid (AP) to associate with [22:33] amenado: I don't use roaming (i didn't understand what it is) and I configured for one speci essid [22:33] but it won't connect on startup [22:33] nicolah-> can you paste in pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file [22:33] my pass is wpa2 and it get memorizes just wpa [22:33] sure amenado [22:36] hi. I am having a problem with alignment of the usplash image. [22:36] I have mga450 video card. === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [22:36] nicolah also paste your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file [22:36] and I have a 1680x1050@60 display (ViewSonic VA2226w) [22:36] what is wrong with the image? [22:37] sobersabre: ^ [22:37] the image of the usplash is aligned to the right. [22:37] tooo much to the right. [22:37] hey guys :) [22:37] and the right part of "ntu" [22:37] is appearing on the left part of the display. === julio_neto is now known as julio_joker [22:37] It says in the FAQ that Wubi installs the 64bit version, is the 32bit version the other version for Athlon, pentium, celeron etc.? [22:37] !hi |blueray [22:37] blueray: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [22:37] i have the dvd version of kubuntu an wanted to know if it has an integrated ip-list firewall? [22:38] equal to peerguardian in windows [22:38] blueray: Check MoBlock [22:38] as if the usplash program thinks the display's center is on the right hand third of the display. [22:38] m-c: any ideas how can I center the image ? [22:38] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m45be097e [22:38] yeah that is a nice tool, just wonderd if kubuntu already had a tool installed ;) [22:38] sobersabre: I am not aware of even what usplash is, sorry. [22:39] blueray-> standard in linux is netfilter which uses iptables as user interface to it [22:39] didnt want to ip list firewall working at the same time :D [22:39] m-c: It says in the FAQ that Wubi installs the 64bit version, is the 32bit version the other version for Athlon, pentium, celeron etc.? [22:39] m-c: thanks for the emotional support.... [22:39] ahh amendo so netfilter is usually in most linux distros? [22:39] Frogging101: Is your processor 64 bit? === dngr- is now known as dngr [22:40] nicolah also paste your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file [22:40] Frogging101: I wouldn't really recommend Wubi as a long term solution. But Wubi will install the correct version for you. You just need to run the .exe in Windows [22:40] okay [22:40] blueray-> pretty much so [22:40] amenado: can't find that file, I have a folder with two script [22:40] I am running ubuntu off wubi right now :) [22:40] my processor is an AMD Athlon XP... [22:40] o.k will check it out thx mate [22:41] functions.sh and ifupdown.sh [22:41] does anyone have a challenge for me ? [22:41] hey [22:41] Frogging101: Then I believe that is actually 32 bit... x86 [22:41] nicolah-> which directory are you looking at? [22:41] okay [22:41] thx [22:41] Frogging101: If you're 100% sure wubi is the solution for you, just go to http://wubi-installer.org/ [22:41] And it will take care of everything for you [22:41] and about the long term solution... [22:41] what's wrong with it? [22:41] i already went to that site and read the FAW [22:41] FAQ* [22:41] Frogging101: But Wubi automatically selects 32bit or 64 bit for you... [22:42] sobersabre: normally, usplash centers the boot image. Perhaps it's because you have a widescreen display format [22:42] Frogging101: It installs to a file inside of your Windows install instead of its own partition. That's bad enough ;) [22:42] in XP Pro.. I've burnt the iso image of Ubuntu 8.4 as is to a disc using ImgBurn - but the pc I'm loading it onto isn't booting up from it [22:42] Frogging101: 64 bit processors can run 64 and 32, but 32 can't run 64 [22:42] Yeah it says in the FAQ it will install 64 bit but theres a command to override it [22:42] amenado: /etc [22:42] Frogging101: http://wubi-installer.org/ if you go there it will correctly install the right one for you. [22:42] Frogging101: Wubi is GUI based... You can see the options is a beautifully formatted combobox [22:42] Frogging101: It doesn't say it will install a 64 bit, it says if you have a 64 bit CPU it will install 64 bit [22:43] what is "strict subs" when I use rename it tells me Bareword "drupal" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1. and how do I disable it [22:43] Frogging101: If you do not have a 64 bit CPU, it will not install 64 bit [22:43] Arianna: it's no use copying the .iso image to a CD. You have to create a CD from the image contained in the file. Read the factoid: [22:43] !burniso > Arianna [22:43] Arianna, please see my private message [22:43] help, ps aux is not showing me all the users every process on earth [22:43] i thought it meant because most people have that it wil [22:43] install 64 bit [22:43] Decepticon: try sudo ps aux [22:43] newb question: how do i run netfilter in kubuntu? [22:43] Frogging101: It will install what is right for YOUR pc! [22:44] okay good === Mink_ is now known as Mink [22:44] Frogging101: I'm certainly not a big wubi fan, I know Jack_Sparrow isn't either... I would suggest using a live-cd to see if Ubuntu feels right for you and it it does, to set up a proper dual-boot [22:44] Akazawa: try usaing mv instead of rename [22:44] *using [22:45] Frogging101: But others think wubi is decent, and if you want to go that way feel free [22:45] I did i got a live CD [22:45] it took half the time it was supposed to take to arrive :D [22:45] why i gotta use sudo [22:45] soundary : I don't get it, I've downloaded an *.iso file, and burnt it as an image - do I need to extract info from the downloaded file? [22:45] Frogging101: If you have already tried out Ubuntu on a live-cd and liked it and decided you want a dual-boot, I would personally setup a proper dualboot, and not use wubi [22:45] in debian i can do ps aux and i will see everyone's things... why do i have to use sudo ps aux to do the same in ubuntu [22:46] Of course it was a bit slow when it had to load from CD, but running a whole OS from a CD isn't very fast so I accounted for that [22:46] Decepticon: are sure that ps aux isn't listing the same things when you're not using sudo? === LordMetroid is now known as Guest41541 [22:46] ps aux is listing different things when using sudo and when not using sudo [22:46] Arianna: if you're sure that you've burnt it as an image, and the PC still doesn't boot from it, you may have to change the boot priority in the BIOS setup. [22:47] do samba share settings override normal folder permissions? === lordmetroid_ is now known as LordMetroid [22:47] soundray : the boot sequence in bios is fine :S [22:48] Decepticon: Huh? ps aux should list the same stuff as a normal user as it does as root, shouldn't it? [22:48] ASULutzy shouldnt it? but its NOT [22:48] whys that?! [22:48] Arianna: so what happens when you try to boot? [22:49] hi [22:49] nothing, the existing OS loads up - kubuntu 6.10 [22:49] That doesn't make sense Decepticon ;) [22:49] Decepticon: can you paste the output of each to a pastebin? [22:49] yes [22:49] Arianna: so it's not even trying to access the CD as a boot device? [22:49] i have a network with several users, how can i log the websites they visit? [22:49] Decepticon: I'd be curious to see [22:50] soundray : it is attempting to read from the cd, but not booting from it, it goes to the the next item in the boot sequence, the hard drive [22:50] what's the command to restart iptables ? [22:50] I find it hilarious that since I switched to Ubuntu, I get 4 times as many Windows viruses/trojans sent to me via MSN [22:50] ASULutzy this is ps aux, straight up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24556/ [22:50] i need to know whether my ubuntu is ready to connect to a VGA-out projector. FAST! [22:51] amenado: still there ? [22:51] yit4s, do a forum search for the model or just ofr projector [22:51] yit4s: just reboot with it plugged in [22:51] the port just should work right? [22:51] ASULutzy and this is sudo ps aux http://paste.ubuntu.com/24557/ [22:52] yit4s: yes [22:52] yit4s: that's how it generally goes with Linux [22:52] how do I restart a service %? [22:52] It just works [22:52] That should be the slogan. [22:52] Pelo: sudo invoke-rc.d service-name restart [22:52] Pelo: 'sudo invoke-rc.d servicename restart' [22:52] Starnestommy: mine's better [22:52] ;) [22:52] No it isn't it doesn't have a "-" [22:52] Pelo: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart. Substitue as required [22:53] You lose! [22:53] ideas ASULutzy?? [22:53] does my screen res on ubuntu change when connected to a projector? like windows does? [22:53] hi [22:53] Decepticon: Weird... Well I'm leaving work, maybe someone else here can be more helpful. What I can say is that on all my ubuntu installs that's not the behavior. ps aux is the same as sudo ps aux [22:53] soundray - does the boot disc need to have both the *.iso file and wubi.exe file? [22:53] Decepticon: The only thing I can think of, is that your environments are different maybe? [22:53] yit4s: Probably not but that's a random guess hence not useful to you, try it and find out? [22:53] Decepticon: Maybe you're calling a different ps than root calls? [22:53] does anyone know if it's possible to somehow automatically append "search blah.com" to my resolv.conf file when NetworkManager is managing it? [22:53] rats not working , I'll just restart the comp [22:53] im super confused I had wireless working on my old ubuntu hardy system without ndiwrapper, I recently reinstalled ubuntu hardy and let it do its updates and now when I go into hardware drivers it lists it and says enabled but says not in use and I cant select wireless network in network manager switch is set to on on the laptop and its broadcom :( [22:53] yit4s: connect it and find out [22:53] thanks guiys [22:53] Arianna: the boot disc does not have to have the .iso file. It needs to have the CONTENTS of the iso file [22:54] so the *iso file needs to be extracted first? [22:54] I rebooted after updates also [22:54] i dont have a projector. i'll be connecting it soon in my class since i have a presentation in few hours [22:54] Decepticon: I guess try /bin/ps aux and sudo /bin/ps aux ? [22:54] ASULutzy yes i just tried it [22:54] same [22:54] same results [22:54] Adriaan: what program are you using to burn the iso? [22:54] sudo is giving more info [22:54] Arianna: no. You need to use a program that can create a CD from the iso image. The page in the factoid you received has help on this. [22:55] Decepticon: Weird, well, I don't get paid to hang out here, so time to head home for me, gl! [22:55] i still can boot windows though but why not show-off great ubuntu compiz?? [22:55] ok bai [22:56] yit4s: don't rely on it too much -- dual-screen can be iffy, depending on your graphics chipset. [22:56] Ah while I'm here and while we are on the subject of compiz and graphics cards [22:56] I have some very weird display issues from time to time [22:56] i'm using generic intel on board graphic chipset on acer laptop [22:56] but I think extracting would have the same outcome to Arianna soundray, if she's doing it on windows. Some windows programs do "iso extraction", meaning they mount and copy the contents out to some folder... [22:56] Like black patches over my window, which I can fix by moving the mouse around etc. [22:57] And other weird things [22:57] I have come across one and the same problem many times now: when Reinstalling Ubuntu while having a seperate home disk and using that one as /home again... I get errors when trying to logg in... yes there are suggested solutions on google and I tried some of them... some of the "solutions" made it worse... [22:57] I've been trying to fix it for ages to no avail [22:57] yit4s: that's the best chip you can hope to have for the purpose [22:57] So are there any people who know a lot about graphics cards etc. here? [22:57] please point me to the howto for getting an intrepid package into my hardy install; I'm trying to get centerim 4.22.5 so I can use it for yahoo IM [22:57] pretty please :) [22:58] my teacher connected her mac to the projector via VGA-out so i dont think ubuntu should experience any probs [22:58] the prblem now is that I don't know what would be the correct way of handling such a migration [22:58] Infinito - WINRAR has successfully extracted the iso file to a new folder on the desktop - I can burn those multiple files as an image to disc quite easily - will that achieve the goal needed? [22:58] hello [22:58] I'm new to ubuntu [22:58] yit4s: if you have 8.04, you can set it up through System-Preferences-Screen Resolution [22:58] Welcome skibur. [22:58] how do I install openssh [22:58] Welcome Skibur! [22:58] why is '/bin/ps aux' giving less information than 'sudo /bin/ps aux' please tell why? [22:58] eraldo-> look at the uid used for your old /home [22:58] hello xavura [22:58] hello xel [22:58] TRy [22:58] skibur, sudo apt-get install openssh [22:58] do that in a terminal [22:58] Alt+F2 [22:58] skibur, sudo apt-get install openssh [22:58] I'm a Slackware user [22:58] sudo apt-get install openssh [22:59] o ok [22:59] amenado: is it a different one ? [22:59] thanks [22:59] NP [22:59] soundray: what is the clone tickbox? [22:59] or use aptitiude or something [22:59] aptitude* [22:59] is there a list via command line for new apps? [22:59] hello, what is the status/policy with hardy-backports? I want to pull newer lyx-1.5.5 from there, but aptitude wants toupgrade QT as well. I fear dll-hell... [22:59] No idea, I'm new-ish too. [22:59] use aptitude [22:59] skibur: openssh-server, openssh doesn't exist anymore [22:59] skibur: apt-cache search [stuff] [22:59] Skibur. are you useing Destop version? [22:59] yes [22:59] skibur: are you migrating from slack to ubuntu? [22:59] Hello ppl. I was wondering how do you edit the panels and their icons? [22:59] Under applications [23:00] system | administration | synpatic [23:00] well, Just trying out Ubuntu [23:00] amenado: isn't there an options like in fedora where you can chose to use an existing home partition without having thouse permission problems [23:00] skibur: Synaptic (System > Admin > Synaptic Package Manager) is a much easier method thanc ommand line [23:00] chao1: right click [23:00] skibur, under applications there is an Add/remove that will allow you to search applications [23:00] You can add to panel, properties etc. [23:00] Why is gnome so much better than kde? Please advise [23:00] Hodge: I have been wondering this myself [23:00] yit4s: in clone mode, both screens show the same content. When it's off, the desktop stretches across the two displays [23:00] hodge: it's not :) [23:00] soundray, would you be able help with my issue I posted above? [23:00] I searched for ssh [23:00] but nothing [23:00] ok [23:00] skibur, also you can use the synaptic package manager [23:01] o ok [23:01] did you try sudo apt-get install ssh-server [23:01] checking [23:01] not yet [23:01] soundray: i guess that's what i need when connecting the projector [23:01] skibur, are you going to be installing PHP apache and mysql? [23:01] nah [23:01] eraldo-> what is the uid you created in the new install? look at the old /home and see what users are there and their uid.. [23:01] jsut ssh server [23:01] Every I talk to says gnome blows kde out of the water but I've tried both and don't see it === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [23:01] for now [23:01] hodge: kde and gnome are suited to different uses, kde is much easier to customize, newer users tend to like gnome more [23:02] if anybody is from Laredo [23:02] Hodge: get compiz fusion :D that makes it so much more awesome [23:02] skibur, go under system then administration then synaptic package manager [23:02] <^Ocean^> I can no longer mount my Windows Harddrive. if I run qtparted, I see the drive as /dev/sda and the partition I want too mount /dev/sda1, Yet when I goto mount the drive, /dev/sda1 does not exsist [23:02] visit #laredolinux [23:02] Hodge: Do what I did, burn Kubuntu to a disc, install it, do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, see how much better it is, remove Kubuntu. [23:02] hodge: if everyone you talk to uses ubuntu, that could certainly be the case, but kde is more preferred by "power users" [23:02] we opened a ubuntu store [23:02] duane: regression on Broadcom wireless? Don't think I can help, sorry [23:02] skibur, then once in that program o a seach for openssh-server [23:02] ok [23:02] do a seach**** [23:03] duane: have you looked at dmesg output and /var/log/syslog contents? [23:03] xavura: but kubuntu is honestly not a very good kde based distribution [23:03] if you're wanting a kde experience [23:03] What about fluxbozx is it terrible? [23:03] Good, because I thought it sucked [23:03] Anyone familiar with Ubuntu's built-in FTP support? That is, Places > Connect to Server > Private FTP? [23:03] So whats the big differnce between KDE and GNome? [23:03] Lots. [23:03] hodge: fluxbox is awesome! people lie to you [23:03] !best [23:03] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:03] I'm having weird problems with Ubuntu cloning connections [23:04] I end up with about 30 connections to my FTP and I get disconnected and have to kill all the processes from cPanel [23:04] I've been asking here how to fix it for a week now [23:04] It's THE single most annoying bug ever. [23:04] Xavura I ask you about that ftp yesterday and you are so unresponsive.. [23:04] Since I use FTP about 24-7. [23:04] amenado: What did you ask me exactly? [23:05] I could have been away if I was "unresponsive" [23:05] xavura: if nobody can help you here you may want to try a different channel [23:05] But it is related to Ubuntu chubs_ [23:05] !who | Xavura [23:05] Xavura: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[23:06] All of you who can help: How 2 remove lines #8 and #10 but getting a similar result? [23:06] <^Ocean^> Bastu, Part of the new kernel upgrade aparintly... [23:06] ok [23:06] xavura: why is this problem specific to ubuntu? as opposed to linux in general? [23:06] or how do you know rather [23:06] chubs_: because I have asked people on other distributions and they don't have the problem [23:06] ^Ocean^ : is there any way to specify the names of the harddrives? [23:06] Xavura-> are you sure you are running an ftp server? how do you verify this? [23:06] because I cam connecting to ftp.mydomain.net? [23:06] Xavura, actually that problem is specific to Nautilus, that is the software providing the ftp interface from the menu [23:06] Anyone ever setup hdmi sound? [23:06] xavura: but most people don't have that problem on ubuntu either ;). what app is it?

[23:07] soundray, it sees the alternate driver for it even :| yet orange light thats confusing as heck [23:07] Bastu: Do they change every time? or was it just once? [23:07] amenado: I assumed it was built-in. [23:07] I do have problems with the Nautlius and FTP, it keeps deleting my ftp bookmarks :P [23:07] Xavura: never tried it that way.. I always use gftp as a client.. works great. [23:07] Flannel: just once now [23:07] and only wired option in network settings [23:07] xavura: do you mean gftp? how do you connect? [23:07] !info gftp [23:07] amenado, he is refering to the builtin FTP support from nautlius, the ftp client support [23:07] 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 [23:08] I've tried gftp, horrible [23:08] Flannel: but i have not done much rebooting because its a server and sometimes it does not boot [23:08] Xavura-> you seem to confuse a client and a server.. [23:08] do samba share permissions override normal permissions [23:08] chubs_, erm, Places -> Connect to Server [23:08] !info filezilla [23:08] filezilla (source: filezilla): Port of the famous Win32 graphical FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.7.1-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 926 kB, installed size 2468 kB [23:08] I hate that too. [23:08] amenado, he is referring to the client [23:08] duane: have you turned off roaming by mistake perhaps? [23:08] Don't suggest clients, I hate them all [23:08] joakim--> ahhh okay [23:08] Bastu: Did you just upgrade from an earlier release? [23:08] Xavura, try kftpgrabber [23:08] In my system gftp crashes quite often. have a look at lftp. quite useable if you like shell [23:08] joaopinto-> ah okay [23:08] for some reason my screen says "out of range" when i put my resolution to 800x600 [23:08] Except the built-in one, well the one that is used when you do Places > Connect to Server [23:08] Flannel: no, full format on system drive [23:08] I want somethign simple [23:08] I checked the switch its on [23:08] when i know quite well that it can handle that size [23:08] and have tryed it both positions [23:08] Bastu: Oh, but this is a fresh install? [23:08] seeing as im at a larger one [23:09] i have done upgrades through apt-get [23:09] ofcource [23:09] Anyone know an app to control mouse with a controller? [23:09] xavura: i've never used that for ftp transfers, what was your issue with gftp? [23:09] chubs_, joaopinto, amenado: If I go to cPanel and go to current FTP sessions, there are LOTS and I mean lots, when I first connect, it makes 3. After a while of downloading files, there becomes so many connections that I double click a file to edit it in GEdit and I get a red cross on the file's tab then the tab disappears. IF I go to cPanel and kill all the connections it then works again. [23:09] Bastu: You've had this install for a while though (under the old drive order)? [23:09] I'm picky with application interfaces. [23:09] I didn't like it. [23:09] Flannel: for atleast a month the drives names have been the same [23:09] xavura: it's probably making a connection for every file you download then [23:09] WHY?! [23:10] what does 'foo' mean and why is it used everywhere? [23:10] That's the most stupid thing possible, in regards to FTP. [23:10] Xavura calm down, you first need to understand the difference between an ftp client and an ftp server [23:10] Flannel: i did add a new drive in the fstab but the drive was in the comp before i added it to fstab.. been there for months [23:10] I know what the difference is. [23:10] xavura: I have no idea but i don't think the connect to server is really designed for mass file transfers [23:10] thanks guys/gals [23:10] hiptobecubic: foo means "whatever" [23:10] Flannel: since reformat [23:10] hiptobe... fo means: "set in what you need or want to" [23:10] !bugs | Xavura [23:10] Xavura: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [23:10] openssh-server installed [23:10] I searched Launchpad [23:10] NOthing. [23:10] Bastu: fstab shouldn't change it. Order is determined by BIOS and GRUB. And moving like that is odd indeed. [23:10] got it working with ndiwrapper lol [23:10] hiptobecubic: it's a metasyntactic variable. It helps to look this up on Wikipedia ;) [23:10] thats werid [23:10] can someone reccomend a GOOD FTP client? [23:10] chubs_, actually it is support to be just any other ftp client :) [23:10] jeeves__: I haven't found any yet. [23:10] lftp [23:11] Xavura, report the problem on it [23:11] jeeves__: filezilla? [23:11] jeeves: lftp [23:11] Flannel: yes it is... should i just edit my fstab and see if it ever happens again? [23:11] joaopinto: oh alright, i've never used it before [23:11] Why do people even use ftp anymore ?? [23:11] amenado: I know what the difference is, the server is a kind of service running via Apache and the other is a way to connect to said server [23:11] hodge: what alternative is there? [23:11] Hodge: what else would you use? [23:11] Bastu: Your fstab should be using uuids, which will make movements like that not matter. [23:11] Err Hodge, because people like editing their files from their website generally? [23:11] Uh ssh scopy [23:11] hodge: 'cause there r providers w/o ssh support [23:11] how can i get my video card / monitor to stand 800x600? [23:11] chubs_: scp [23:11] Xavura, almost, just remoe the apache part, because an ftp service does not depend on apache :P [23:11] hodge: not everyone likes ssh [23:11] Xavura wrong, an ftp server does not have to have an apache running. [23:11] anyone know off hand how to stop init from attempting to check/mount the hd during boot? [23:12] I was guessing. [23:12] everyone being servers [23:12] People prefer unsecure connections? Odd [23:12] Been as though like MySQL and PHP etc. need Apache [23:12] Flannel: my fstab has UUids for the first drive but that one also switched names... but the drive was mounted correctly i guess [23:12] Flannel, hummm, well, the 2 that I've tried don't seem to do too much [23:12] my screen goes out of range when i select that option, and i usually play games with that resolution [23:12] could this be a driver issue? [23:12] I love ssh [23:12] Hodge: My host supports SSH and I'd use it as [23:12] how do i figure out the UUIDS? [23:12] sinthetek: remove its entry from /etc/fstab [23:12] sinthetek: look at tune2fs command [23:12] !uuid [23:12] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [23:12] it's not hard to use a CLI to move around and then do gedit file or wahtever [23:12] Bastu: UUID doesn't care where the drive is (/dev/sdX), it uses the UUIDs, which shouldn't change. [23:12] Xavura, mysql and PHP dont need apache either, they are usually used with it, but they can also be used standalone ;) [23:12] Xavura you make this statements that are untrue.. be nice [23:12] Bastu: blkid [23:12] blkid? [23:13] Hodge: but I don't know how to set-up SSH with cPanel [23:13] Bastu: yes, sudo blkid, will give you UUIDs of your partitions [23:13] that would fix my FTP problem though [23:13] Bastu: that will tell you the uuid's of partitions [23:13] Xavura, using ssh will not help you with the client problem :) [23:13] well, assuming the problem is not related to the protocol [23:13] Sure it will [23:13] It won't be using the FTP client any more [23:13] which is the cause of the problem [23:13] kk.. ill try to mimic the UUID settings that i have allready and see if it works, thanks! [23:13] ftp passwords are clear text it really is a terribly unsecure and mostly dated protocal... I find it hard to believe there are providers with only ftp [23:13] If I connect from any other FTP client I don't have cloned connections. [23:13] hodge: believe it [23:14] Xavura, you need the client anyway, on this case, the same interface, nautilus with the SFTP protocol :P [23:14] Xavura why dont you clarify what is the requirement you have? just to transfer files? automatically? manually? [23:14] I need to be able to download files [23:14] edit them and reupload automatically [23:14] and upload them too [23:14] that's it [23:14] Easy with even ssh [23:14] hodge: I know that for godaddy hosting, only dedicated servers can be ssh'ed into [23:14] that's the same a lot of places i think [23:15] Lame [23:15] Xavura: I think nautilus does ftp [23:15] joaopinto: At this point, I don't care, this problem is ****ing me off. I use FTP a LOT and I have to go into cPanel every 10 minutes to end 30 FTP connections. [23:15] Xavura-> you can not do this with command line? do you care about security? you own the ftp server itself? [23:15] joaopinto: I'll try anything if there is even a CHANCE that it will stop this problem [23:15] hey all i have a terminal open and i want to save everything that i just typed at that terminal to a file... whats the command? [23:15] do samba share permissions override normal permissions [23:15] perhaps i should have stated the question/problem better: isn't there a boot option to prevent it from attempting to mount the hd? the hd is bad and i am playing with the notion of installing ubuntu onto a thumb drive it works ok on this system - but first i need to make it skip normal hd stuff (since it interrupts the boot process and i cannot test it) [23:15] Xavura, reporting the bug on launchpad would be the best thing to do :P [23:15] joseph, it's already saved to ~/.bash_history [23:15] joseph: copy and paste? [23:16] joaopinto: I will, but could someone help me get SSH working so I have a possible temporary fix [23:16] thanks [23:16] I should be editing files right now but I got bored of manually ending connections. [23:16] ok - I've just downloaed InfraRecorder as per the burning how to file that I was pointed to, then clicked "write contents of image filed to disc", let it do its thing, tried booting from it [23:16] sinthetek: Are you attemptin to not mount the drive where you have your distro installed? [23:16] Xavura, sudo apt-get install openssh-server (and it's done) [23:16] joseph, although, the history file does not contain output from commands you issued -- look into using script for that [23:16] joseph you should have started script beforehand..then it will save a history of your commands [23:16] joaopinto: I mean, on my website [23:16] I think I have the ssh server installed [23:16] joseph: if you're looking for a commandline based text editor you can always use vim or nano [23:16] I can do ssh whatever@ipaddress [23:16] Xavura, so just login to it using ssh :) [23:16] joseph - the command "history" should give you all the previous commands you've typed [23:16] when i run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i never see a section on my graphics card [23:17] webcamwonder: there is no distro installed on it, i'm trying to get the livecd to boot without attempting to mount the hd [23:17] why is this? [23:17] fooks, on the new xorg version the driver is automatically detected [23:17] Xavura: use nautilus to connect via ssh or ftp, open the file, and ghanges will be saved and uploaded [23:17] joaopinto: cPanel wants me to set-up keys and stuff so I can use SSH, I don't understand it [23:17] sinthetek: the live CD does not normally mount the HD [23:17] umm i used ssh to log onto a server so i want to save to a file [23:17] joseph what editor? [23:17] joaopinto, how do i configure resolutions so conveniently now? [23:17] nano? ctrl+x... [23:17] I don't know any others :P [23:17] ctrl+x then yes [23:18] err, "y" [23:18] my monitor blacks out at 800x600 which is ridiculous [23:18] Evening folks. I need to use a program called Discjuggler to burn a few cds. Anyone know if it works with WINE? I checked the DB and didnt see anything on it. [23:18] joseph: did you just type text into the command line or something? [23:18] fooks: Mine blacks out at anything higher than 1280x1024 [23:18] whileimhere: what does discjuggler do? [23:18] fooks, dont ask me, i just use the screen resol menu entry [23:18] fooks: but 800x600 may as well be deprecated, if you use that then you aren't doing it right. [23:18] fooks: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-sorg i think anyways [23:18] Is there a quick and dirty way for me to clone a remote web server to a local test machine so that it has the exact same .deb packages installed as the remote box?

[23:20] eraldo-> what is pharo's uid? [23:20] laucky, i used the restricted-drivers manager in gnome to determine that [23:20] uh-oh! there it goes [23:20] fooks: I know nothing about graphics, I have graphics problems myself but they can be resolved so I've heard :P I haven't looked into how yet [23:21] Flannel: I would need some info for my exam about IR colour index and IR apparent magnitude of stars [23:21] evil_tech, ive tried dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but its doesn't mention my graphics at all [23:21] lol [23:21] eraldo when you installed the new ubuntu, what username and uid you created? [23:21] * sinthetek wonders if suspend/resume will let me bypass this stuff temporarily until i determine what to [23:21] sinthetek: you could disable the IDE channel in the BIOS setup.

If so, why does the factoid say otherwise? [23:25] dookles-> you have to do this on live cd [23:25] My live CD is about 40 miles away [23:25] dookles, I believe you can use a live cd to remedy this [23:25] I should have mentioned that. Gparted was my first thought [23:25] dookles you need to have a LVM set for that [23:25] dookles, Bittorrent a new one? [23:25] dookles-> if you can not log on as root, how else ? [23:25] Jack_Sparrow: ok...np...and I can wait [23:25] !lvm [23:25] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [23:25] dookles: it's also on the internet, are you on a different OS on the same computer?

[23:27] ultimate cd? [23:27] Roc_masterMind, I noticed that my VNC is like that over the LAN [23:27] Jack_Sparrow: Thats not what I asked. The factoid says it'll be in -updates. [23:27] dookles-> yes, google for them , those are xp rescue disk on cdrom [23:27] amenado: he can't burn cd's, otherwise there wouldn't be this problem [23:27] Flannel, the fix, not the latest version :) [23:27] ah ok [23:27] Dookles should just bittorrent the latest Unbuntu live cd [23:28] I'm upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 and I got some scary error messages. [23:28] I was thinking about that option [23:28] chubs_-> i didnt see he said he cant burn a cdrom [23:28] Particularly, it claims it couldn't install linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic-2.6.24-19.34_amd64.deb [23:28] sdtr443w sounds like you may have some unofficial sources in your repos. [23:28] sdtr443w, it'S better to install from scratch. [23:28] joaopinto: Right, that's why they want .3 anyway. [23:29] Gees why does the help site have "(recommended)" on the live upgrade instructions then? [23:29] I could use the ISO and virtualbox to resize the partitions, right? [23:29] sinthetek: try 'sda=none' as a boot option (hit F6 at the CD boot prompt to edit kernel options). If that doesn't help, try 'hda=none' [23:29] dookles: should be able to yeah [23:29] sdtr443w, Cause they would like the upgrade to work all the time [23:29] So is it likely that my box won't reboot again due to a botched kernel upgrade? [23:29] hey .. can someone help me? .. [23:29] cool, thanks [23:29] i have yet to find a program that can burn avi files straight to a dvd [23:29] sdtr443w sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [23:30] hi guys, do you know an application that I can use to watch internet tv, like TVU?

[23:30] marvin__, you can overclock you CPU... :) [23:30] Jack_Sparrow: Give me about 5 minutes--the box is still churning on this stuff, unless you think it's safe to run as it's chugging along. [23:30] sdtr443w Do you have a sep /home partition? [23:30] haha laptop 1.3 ghz [23:30] ;) [23:30] Whats TVU??? [23:30] sdtr443w: Its probably salvagable. Upgrades are nicer, and some people swear installing from scratch is better. [23:31] sdtr443w It wont work if package manager is crunching along somewhere else [23:31] marvin__, hmmm... more difficult to overclock... :) [23:31] marvin__: aatv [23:31] lo all [23:31] thanks all [23:31] i'll look into it [23:31] ok I should wait until this thing is done.

[23:45] Atheros Communications [23:45] PCI Express Adapter [23:46] plouffe: run 'dmesg | grep ath'. You will probably see a few messages, perhaps one indicating that the driver is incompatible with your hardware. [23:46] unop: I created the file by: sudo touch Desktop/testfile, then as the normal user: rm Desktop/testfile [23:46] ok hold on [23:46] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24561/ [23:46] Hm. So, I have a powermac G4 400mhz. [23:47] does anybody know a good gnome text editor that allows for multiple files to be open via split screen....kinda like ultraedit [23:47] I'm trying to decide - should I install ubuntu on it, or go for an LTSP setup [23:47] no incompatibility message [23:47] module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel [23:47] It looks like ia32-libs, linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic, and linux-ubuntu_modules_2.6.24-19-generic all failed to install. That and openoffice.org was a complete wash [23:47] is the first message, the other messages are just code [23:48] unop: and chowned it to root:root [23:48] plouffe: it's still worth trying the experimental madwifi driver version 0.10. The eeepc page has instructions that will apply to your machine, too: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes [23:48] Ok thanks [23:48] plouffe: in place of the 'sudo make install' step, consider using 'sudo checkinstall' [23:48] !checkinstall > plouffe [23:48] plouffe, please see my private message [23:48] do samba share permissions override normal permissions? [23:49] Interesting: apt-get -f install looks like it's taking a shot at installing the stuff that got botched in the upgrade. [23:49] !checkinstall > webcamwonder [23:49] webcamwonder, please see my private message [23:49] sdtr443w I dont see anything in there that would be a problem. All I can think is that something you installed manually or from source messed up dependencies [23:49] Jack_Sparrow: I think an apt-get -f install kicked it into submission [23:49] hmuller, by Desktop/testfile i assume you mean ~/Desktop/testfile ? [23:50] I just installed pastebinit now so that implies it doesn't have unmet kernel issues anymore. [23:50] !aptfix [23:50] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [23:50] unop: yes, typo [23:50] sdtr443w I thought you had already tried that [23:50] hmuller, well, then you can delete the file sure -- because you own the directory ~/Desktop/ [23:51] Jack_Sparrow I had tried the -f install command just to install pastebinit; but typing "apt-get -f install" I got the tool to try and install the unmet dependencies first. I have no idea. [23:51] Jack_Sparrow: n/m I forgot the -f when I did pastebinit [23:51] ok [23:51] unop: ok, thanks. That sounds reasonable, I mistakenly thought I should not be able to delete a file owned by root. [23:52] brb [23:52] does anybody know how to open up split-screen view with Gedit? [23:53] ext3 recovery flag is clear, but journal has data \ run journal anyway? (y) [23:53] hi [23:53] What do I do? The disk worked fine last time I used the computer. [23:53] how can i make a text file open and execute in terminal(like a .bat in windows) [23:53] hmuller, that might have been reasonable on windows or vms -- on the unix, it's not - the rationale is that somebody else puts files into your directories and disappears (leaves the company, etc) you must still be able to have control over the directory (in order to perhaps remove it) and not bother root about this trivial thing [23:53] hello [23:54] soundray: are you up ? [23:54] sobersabre: only just [23:54] you've said that usplash centers the image. [23:54] cbassett, look into shell scripts [23:54] I do have wide screen. [23:54] you mean .sh? [23:54] how can I center it now? [23:54] I have a problem :( I am just running the Live CD, I want the system be up2date after installation, but it says: could not write /var/cache/..... No space left on device [23:54] unop: appreciate the clarification! [23:55] Howto make my system up2date after installation?? [23:55] cbassett, on unix, extensions don't matter -- a shell script can have any or no extension -- but .sh is commonly used, so yes [23:55] sobersabre: are you using the vga= boot option? [23:55] ubina: have you installed it on a hard disk or are you on a "Live CD" ? [23:55] soundray: yes. [23:55] ubina: gksudo update-manager [23:55] sobersabre: with which value? [23:55] I am using: video=vga16fb:1680x1050 vga=0x317 [23:55] so now how would i write it? like, sudo aircrack-ng wlan0 [23:56] good audio editor ? [23:56] in shell script of course [23:56] Flannel, yeah, that was an astronomy related question. I used to find "russian people" on ubuntu and such channels with many ppl when i need a translator. i thought there is a chance for an astronomist [23:56] does anyone know how to make the internet faster? [23:56] sobersabre: 0x317 is for 1024x768 -- have you tried dropping that one? [23:56] soundray I opened that but it gives me an error. no space left.. [23:56] Flannel, you know I am into ubuntu as a user but hey this is also a community why not try and find someone [23:56] ubina: perhaps you've made the install partition too small [23:56] Flannel, anyway i have to go sorry for causing confusion. bye. [23:56] HI everyone, is there a way to not include certain files remastersys uses to make it backup [23:56] soundray: where can I find the table of all vga= valid modes. [23:57] could you suggest me a good audio editor for ubuntu ? [23:57] visk7: audacity [23:57] ubina: do you have a separate partition for /var ? [23:57] Can someone help me at add windows to my grub [23:57] Can someone help me at add windows to my grub [23:57] visik7: audacity [23:57] visik7: audacity runs ok. [23:57] chubs_: it doesn't work [23:57] Can someone help me at add windows to my grub [23:57] cbassett, here's an intro www.hsrl.rutgers.edu/ug/shell_help.html [23:57] chubs_: you got me :) [23:57] sobersabre: it's in the kernel docs. There's a copy online here: http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~gerald/laptop/vesafb.txt [23:57] soundray Install partition? I just run the livecd I can't make a partition or so..? [23:57] says something like unable to open audio device [23:57] does anyone know how to make the internet faster? [23:57] !repeat | Nathan406 [23:57] Nathan406: 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 [23:57] ok! [23:57] thanks! [23:57] josdell got us both sobersabre :) [23:58] lol [23:58] does anyone have a link to where I can find out at what point a graphics card starts misbehaving due to temperature [23:58] visik7: are you trying to edit something while playing music? or otherwise using your sound server? [23:58] Can I ask about SSH here? [23:58] Every other channel says it's off-topic but there is nowhere where it IS on-topic [23:58] ubina: don't try to update the install CD. If you want to try a CD with all the updates, you can try a pre-release -- give me a second, I'll search for the link [23:58] and I need to get it working [23:58] visik7: you'll need to stop using your sound and restart audacity before trying to use it, that could be the problem [23:58] Xavura, depends, ask the question and we'll find out [23:59] Hi, I tried to ask this question on the forums, but mysteriously lost my posting privelege. So I'll ask my question about java on Hardy here. [23:59] Hi everyone, does anyone know why I still have old linux kernels in my /boot folder? [23:59] there is away to add windows to the grud [23:59] josdell [23:59] ubina: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/ === epifanio_ is now known as epifanio [23:59] josdell: just in case [23:59] just cant get it [23:59] you can delete them [23:59] I'm trying to set up SSH, that's it. unop. I generated a key via cPanel, put the public key in authorized_thingies whatever it is, downloaded my public key and put it in ~/.ssh/ [23:59] Josdell, that's so that if you have a problem with a newer kernel you have installed, you can always fall back on an older one [23:59] It won't work. [23:59] soundray yes I tried to update the cd :) I thought this would make the system up2date after the install.. impossible ya? [23:59] chubs_: everything that visible using audio is off [23:59] i can open grub in the terminal [23:59] Connection refused, unop.
