[00:00] hey so didn't catch lucas to thank him .. Shujah thanks a lot man [00:00] I am on #postfix, but it appears no one is there. Can anyone point me to a way to remove auto-signatures from incoming emails to my domain? I find how to add them in postfix, but google tells me nothing else [00:00] unop: Tnx [00:00] hi, i am having trouble with my ubuntu hardy amd64 bit installation and bluetooth on x61s thinkpad. [00:00] rgb: hmm. Is the media file on your local HD or on an external usb mass storage device? [00:00] i can't pair my cell phone [00:00] hi [00:00] i can't even get either device to see one another [00:01] I cant get ubuntu to let me choose a start-here.png icon, can anyone help? [00:01] crimsun: First run it was on my HD, now I've copied it to my iPod as to play it back under the Live CD. [00:01] ForsakenSoul, no problem dude :D [00:01] whats the quickest and easiest way to make an iso for a cd? [00:01] from a cd* [00:01] lenswipe: you there? === _law|away is now known as _law [00:01] Shujah: yes im here === Rudy is now known as W89 [00:01] spork dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso [00:01] can anyone advise please? [00:01] lenswipe, answers are not always available here -- you might like to check the forums, documentation and other sources for any information that might help you [00:01] rgb: hmm, there's a possible usb controller issue, but I don't think it's too likely [yet] [00:02] so people are still active here, flowing in the river not frozen in time [00:02] lenswipe: go to usr/share/icons/human <-thats the icon theme - change the file after renaming the last one as .old [00:02] rgb: if you play the same song (so that it's cached), is the symptom reproducible? [00:02] crimsun: That would mean both my HD is failing AND my USB ports are fucked. How likely are both outside of the motherboard just being dead, which isn't the case I assuem since I can still use my PC. [00:02] the name aaron hall sounds familiar, who's that dude? [00:02] !language [00:02] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:02] Shujah: TYVM! [00:02] the computers of 64bit is more fast than 32bit? [00:02] crimsun: Will try. [00:03] crimsun: Stop > Play. === ccooke_ is now known as ccooke [00:03] not faster, just able to process bigger sized data [00:04] k, can anyone help with bluetooth on my thinkpad x61s? [00:04] is more better [00:04] * herrmess slaps self, hard. [00:04] i can find nothing on google for hardy 64 bit [00:04] * lenswipe laughs [00:04] devaudio: "dd: reading '/dev/cdrom': Input output error" [00:04] Apophis__, the fact that you can process bigger chunks of data can mean you get the job done quicker - hence faster :) depends on the algorithm doing the data processing tho [00:04] how do you check your usb ports [00:04] lenswipe, I havent myself changed the main menu but try usr/share/icons.human/24x24(that is default)/places/gnome-main-menu make sure you are using human [00:04] i installed ubuntu on a different harddrive then my windows installation .. ubuntu boots fine but during the bootloader it gives me the option for windows .. but when i click it it gives me "Error 25: Disk read error" Press any key to continue [00:04] yeah unop - effectively faster - but not because it's still not 45nm [00:04] :P [00:04] W89, not much faster but see my last post [00:05] MpChester, you are not giving the right hd of windows :D [00:05] crimsun: Thinking perhaps RAM faillure? Song's playing fine thus far, the stuff it has already played before. [00:05] bluetooth master where art thou? [00:05] it's pretty hilarious that the windows key, in Ubuntu, is called the Super key, especially since I'm hating every aspect of Ubunto so far. :P [00:05] format c: and all problems vanish [00:05] yes [00:05] hehe [00:05] that was the worst change in the thinkpad lineup [00:05] to add the windows key [00:06] devaudio: never mind, its quicker to just right click on the cd and hit copy and then choose copy to file. thanks though. [00:06] Shujah: what are my hd options? it's set at 0,0 ... should i try 0,1 .. 0,2 ... ect.. [00:06] anyone have a .deb for rhythmbox 0.11.6? [00:06] erm, any tips for getting fonts to look half decent in Ubuntu? Mainly monospace fonts - both Monospace and Inconsolata look rubbish - very blurry, and the spacing between letters is wrong [00:06] i like ubuntu [00:06] it's a good place to start [00:06] Where can i set amarok to the deafult player so that my keyboard shortkey will be able to use on amarok? [00:06] MpChester, on ubuntu fdisk -l And all monospace fonts look very light - no definition to them at all [00:07] Thanks :) [00:07] crimsun: It played back completely this time. Now I'm totally lost, hehe. [00:07] rgb: I would not suspect bad RAM. [00:08] rgb: I would suspect a controller issue if it is in fact reproducible across usb mass storage devices [00:08] crimsun: Ok, and the song played find after having it play to about halfway before. [00:08] acid2_ mewnu>system>preferences>appearence>fonts change subpixel smoothing if on lcd [00:08] crimsun: Which controller? [00:08] rgb: usb 2.0 [00:08] is used as the bluetoot? [00:08] crimsun: That would mean it should play fine over HD, no? [00:09] burner, looks like you will have to compile from source and make the .deb yourself - even intrepid only has 11.5 [00:09] crimsun: Which as we already found out was not the case. [00:09] remove auto-sigs, should I use a .forward file or something internal to postfix [00:09] rgb: note that I'm glossing over some issues; it's not necessarily hardware; it can be a kernel issue. There's at least one known kernel issue with usb 2.0 controllers. [00:09] crimsun: Shall I mount the HD again and play the same song stored there? [00:10] ubuntu rocks [00:10] rgb: and/or try a different one not cached in RAM [00:10] crimsun: Will try both. [00:10] does anyone if there's a sensor or an application that would tell the admin if the hardware has been torn down somehow? [00:11] muibe: ping [00:11] torn down like a drill sargent tears down people? [00:11] muibe, torn down? like teared apart or deoreciated :P [00:11] muibe, if the admin used syslog effectively, he'd know [00:11] crimsun: Same song, on HD. [00:11] unop: so much work though to get all hte plugins and what not working correctly and i'm lazy... ;) [00:12] burner, well, it doesn't appear that anyone has compiled it and made .debs available, i did look on PPA and intrepid - and it's only 5 minutes work :) go on, contribute to ubuntu :) [00:13] unop: so, such a thing could be revealed by reading a log file, right? === Mr is now known as MrKeishii [00:13] muibe, right, these three files ought to have info - /var/log/{dmesg,kern.log,debug} [00:13] I need pointers where to get info regarding these error messages i got trying to burn a DVD using k9 copy -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26546/ [00:15] 02:13 < muibe> does anyone if there's a sensor or an application that would tell the admin if the hardware has been torn down somehow? [00:15] I am on Ubuntu 8.04. During a routine update, I was asked to confirm if I accepted or denied Sun's Java license. What is it about? [00:15] kushal1, sun java is not free, so the license [00:15] muibe: you're still asking a vague question. please redefine it. [00:15] kushal1: the java EULA must have been upgraded [00:15] crimsun: Same song, only on HD, plays back fine. Trying a different song on the HD now. [00:16] is there something I should be concerned about? I am just an end user. [00:16] no [00:16] no [00:16] thanks to all of you [00:16] Gnea: problem is that i have a potential risk of someone being able to change something inside the machine and i must make the utmost to avoid such a thing - that's why i asked [00:16] it's just stupid legal politics === nicolas is now known as Proko [00:16] other then nightmares about using non-free softwares :P [00:16] hello [00:16] guys [00:17] need URGENT HELP [00:17] WITH UBUNTU [00:17] muibe: well, we do software support in here.

GoDaddy just sent us an eMail [00:18] lol [00:18] Gnea: but thanks for help anyway [00:18] i used to use a program called Vidalia (Tor+Privoxy) [00:18] I just installed SAMBA, but whenever I try to activate sharing for a folder, it says: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. [00:18] What's wrong, and how do I fix ti? [00:18] it* [00:18] muibe: well, if you have a ping running on it over the network every so often, you could at least tell whenever it goes offline [00:18] unop: i could compile it... but i can't package things. I've read tutorials. I've looked at daniel holbach's video cast, but I just can't do it [00:18] hey guys I think i fucked up my repository how can i get it back? thanks [00:18] i've heard you can set that up on ubuntu but how do i go about install Tor + Privoxy on Hardy Heron?

Please don't take it personally. [00:19] crimsun: Questionmarks as to what the heck's happening are growing, hehehe.

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:27] lenswipe, have you edited the terminal profiles [00:27] rgb - i speak english... natively so i dont need subs [00:27] usually [00:27] Shujah: not that i know of... [00:27] lenswipe: try sudo aptitude upgrade && update [00:27] but yeah vlc's subtitles rendering is horrible [00:27] Is there a mlt and mlt++ package? [00:27] teq: i cant, terminal keeps crashing... [00:28] Shujah: that doesn't fix the fact that characters overlap with some fonts [00:28] lenswipe: you'll probably have to reboot into recovery mode [00:28] ctrl+alt+f1 and then do that [00:28] zyrorl: Many English speakers require subtitles to watch certain content. Not every English Speaker watches only video in the English language. [00:28] I use vlc [00:28] ubunbi: and do what? [00:28] though I need to find another dvd burning program for windows [00:28] In my case, yeah I need my subtitles.

[00:29] lenswipe: i'd assume delete your bash profile [00:29] zyrorl: Speak the first two, understand the latter. [00:29] i'm assuming you watch many asian movies? [00:30] zyrorl: Yup. [00:30] ubuntubi: and how do i do that? [00:30] fair enough [00:30] lenswipe:: try alt+f2, sudo gnome-terminal and see if it launches. if it does, it's just a matter of removing your user profile [00:30] hello, anyone here have any experience using oracle 10g express on ubuntu? [00:30] ubuntubi: kk [00:30] who was asking about the subs ? [00:30] zyrorl: Chinese and Japanese are a bit too hard to learn quickly at sufficient level. [00:30] lenswipe:: er gksudo gnome-terminal, sorry === kyncani is now known as Guest37704 [00:31] ubunubi: should it matter if i get it from the repos i got it from the ubuntu download site [00:31] how i would love to see my GTO and Gundam seed without subs [00:31] ubuntubi: kk [00:31] hehe [00:31] rgb - that is true., trust me i know, i went to malaysia for a week and could understand more malay than chinese/japanese lol [00:31] (not that i heard any japanese when i was there) [00:31] ubuntubi: yeh works fine. [00:31] LieZ^: it's always preferred to install from the repo, so all the depencies and whatnot can be managed, and an uninstall be easy and be sure you don't have any conflicts [00:31] ubuntubi: now what.. [00:31] LieZ^: you should double check you have all the offical repo's turned on [00:32] can you install oracle from the repo? [00:32] lenswipe:: did alt+f2, gksudo gnome-terminal ..launch you a terminal? [00:32] ubuntubi: yes it did, now what? [00:32] lenswipe:: there should be a hidden directory with your bash profile in your home directory..can't recall the exact path [00:32] Anyone ever heard of ChaCha? (chacha.com) - I work for them from home making $15/hour, google it, it's reputable. Just thought I'd share it. I have invites if anyone wants. It's hard to get hired without one.

[00:36] shujah: HOW???? [00:37] bayden: Might also be a game, or just more useless padded anti-p2p files. [00:37] it is [00:37] Shujah: i cant open the terminal... [00:37] Is there a package for openlibraries? [00:37] Shujah: it opens then crashes straight away [00:37] bayden: Phew heheh. [00:37] lenswipe, alt+f2 type and enter sudo terminal [00:37] thats the space of a movie and its kung fu panda.avi [00:37] avi is a clip or movie [00:37] shujah: kk done that [00:37] ra21vi, when you set a binary as setuid and use a call such as seteuid()/setreuid() to escalate process privileges -- EUID is the ID of the user whose privileges are being used by the binary after the call, RUID or UID is the ID of the user who invoked the binary -- this does not really apply to scripts tho, only compiled binaries [00:37] Shujah: now what? [00:37] Shujah: i got a root terminal what do i do now? [00:37] Lenny_, edit>profiles enter [00:38] can anyone help me i'm really in need for some help [00:38] bayden: That's not correct. Sure, most movies are encoded to a target size of 700 MB to fit on a CD, but it can just as well be 2 gigabytes for quality. [00:38] what do i call it? [00:38] Saying it's a movie _because_ it's 700 MB is wrong thinking. [00:38] lenswipe, edit > profiles > new [00:38] Shujah: what do i call it? [00:38] Musli: help with what?

[00:39] lenswipe:: while you're in that sudo terminal rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles -- if his suggestion doesn't work [00:39] but its 700mb it says [00:39] lenswipe, base it on default [00:39] Shujah: your sujjestion did not wok [00:39] bayden: Never mind. I apparently can't make myself understandable, sorry. [00:39] Shujah: shall i: rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles [00:40] lenswipe, ubunubi can guide you to that solution [00:40] ubuntubi: shall i just run rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles [00:40] lenswipe: i would [00:40] kk [00:40] is there any way to use xvnc4viewer in fullscreen without needing to exit fullscreen mode to change workspaces? [00:40] lenswipe: doing it will narrow down possiblities [00:41] ubuntubi: still doesnt work [00:41] or is there a vnc viewer that will let you do that? [00:41] lenswipe, what happens when you make a new profile, terminal just crashes? [00:41] Shujah: no it lets me make a new profile in the sudo terminal [00:41] i installed vmware with aptitude and i have to get rid of it to re-install it right. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? [00:41] its just when i open my terminal it doesnt work [00:41] rgb: right [00:42] i cant get the damn flash thing to work correct some sites i cant even visit because of to much lag [00:42] lenswipe, then it will take you to the customizable part, colors and all? [00:42] Shujah: yep [00:42] crimsun: Any ideas? [00:42] rgb: at this point, because we've ruled out ALSA and PulseAudio, you'd need to do some legwork on patterns [00:42] musli, hardy or gutsy?

[00:43] crimsun: Okay. No idea what you mean. [00:43] is there a guide for setting up a samba (standalone with unix user authentication) on ubuntu server 8.04 lts? [00:43] Shujah: done. [00:43] rgb: I mean that you can see under what conditions the freezes occur. Only after a fresh boot while playing media from local HD? etc. [00:43] lenswipe, then sudo terminal again and make the new profile default i.e. open newname profile when launching [00:43] this lag is really bugging me :( [00:43] musli, gnash or nonfree? [00:43] anyone have a program they'd recommend for capturing video on your screen? [00:44] Shujah: im not with..., just make another profile? [00:44] crimsun: Ah, that kind of patterning.

[00:44] Shujah: i have 1 profile apart from Default, thats all [00:44] nonfree [00:44] Does anyone know which config file has info on programs which autostart with kde because they were running in the last saved session? [00:44] my wireless connection works only when it wants to.. is there a fix to this.. i'm using ndiswrapper for it and it's WPA protected [00:44] crimsun: Okay. [00:45] Hi all. Anyone heard any talk about when we'll see a live CD for intrepid alpha 2? [00:45] that's odd, what site is it, musli? I don't have any problems with flash.

[00:45] Shujah: then it just crashes [00:45] hey im having a wireless card problem, i have a toshiba laptop and atheros card, any help that can be offered [00:46] teq: look into dd if you are comfortable with cli [00:46] powertool08: pardon? [00:46] you mean flickers when you go up and down musli? [00:46] lenswipe, so the new profile is selected to launch not default?

[00:47] and my cpu is like on 90 % all the time on that site [00:47] what function does the clone output in compiz serve? [00:47] musli, nothing you can do. It's a problem in every OS and it's the site owner's fault. [00:47] powertool08: how do i check the name of my hd? [00:47] is it? [00:47] He has too much flash, too many images, and so forth [00:47] it's getting to my cpu as well, even when the window isn't in focus [00:47] did it lag for u kohlrak? [00:47] lenswipe, edit > profile > profile used when launching a new terminal > yournewprofilename [00:47] teq: gparted, fdisk, [00:47] Musli, what site? [00:47] Shujah: i know [00:47] hi all, i just accidentally deleted all the files in one of my folders, ive unmounted that drive, and im trying to use e2undel but it wont make. does anybody know any other solutions. [00:48] www.aftonbladet.se [00:48] Musli: If you use Firefox you can install FlashBlock. [00:48] cant do anything on that site [00:48] Shujah: ive done that but when i launch a terminal it launches in black on white [00:48] i have flashblock rgb [00:48] Musli: That way the flash doesn't get loaded when you visit the site. [00:48] Shujah: and it crashes [00:48] Musli: Only after you let it. [00:48] so whjat does it crash [00:48] teq: its usually /dev/hda where hda could be hdb, sda, sdb, etc [00:48] lenswipe:: my next solution would be opening synaptic and search for gnome-terminal, and set it to: reinstall [00:48] lenswipe, wait a sec lemme check something [00:48] Shujah: PM me and ill speak to you there [00:48] Shujah its hard to explain on 1 line [00:49] Musli, that site is 70% images, 10% flash, and 19% javascript, have fun [00:49] powertool08: would that be "dd" or "cp"? [00:49] Musli: I can visit the site fine, but that's because I have no flash installed due to using the Live CD atm. [00:49] Musli: So if you wish to use that site, using Firefox with the Flashblock add-on will help you. [00:49] yeah rgb i know i used the live cd and it worked fine for me to [00:49] teq: dd copies byte per byte, cp is usued for moving single files, small folders [00:50] hi all, i just accidentally deleted all the files in one of my folders, ive unmounted that drive, and im trying to use e2undel but it wont make. does anybody know any other solutions. [00:50] rgb, the problem is the site not flash. Flash isn't even so much the problem as all the images. Look at them. Not to mention it's go a javascript thing going down the right side. [00:50] powertool08: thanks man [00:50] alguem fala portugues? [00:50] teq: np [00:50] I accidentally removed myself as admin can anyone tell me how to fix this??? [00:50] paul_5666: you mean it won't compile...or isn't recovering your files properly? [00:50] Kohlrak: Flashblock takes out all the flash that might be on the site. [00:51] ubunubi: wont compile [00:51] If the Javascript is messing up, also use NoScript, which you should be using anyways if you use Firefox. [00:51] Shujah: my whole laptop just died [00:51] paul_5666: why are you trying to compile it? crap the version from Synaptic so you don't have to compile it [00:51] achilles: go into recovery mode, then do gpasswd -a admin [00:51] paul_5666: grab* [00:51] ubunubi: ok thanks [00:51] rgb, that might work. Flash gets in the way of good flash sites though, but they're few [00:52] Kohlrak: You can choose to let a site use flash when you have Flashblock installed. [00:52] so i have apache2 install and installed mod-ruby but its not parsy my ruby files... [00:52] [Q] Is there a ubuntu command line program to see the status of a jetdirect printer?

[01:16] ubuntubi: i recon the thought of a reinstall made me age about 60 years in 2 minutes [01:16] !firewall | Arodon, open port 80 using firestarter [01:16] Arodon, open port 80 using firestarter: 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). [01:16] Shujah nope just the default one [01:16] its want it mentions in the guide [01:16] lenswipe:: haha, it cant be that bad ;) [01:16] actually... [01:16] ubuntubi: the reinstall is fine, [01:16] lenswipe:: keep regular backups, and rolling back a few days is never more than 20minutes to a full working system [01:16] ERGLupin, 1GB wll only give suffice for a very very basic install -- without most desktop features, etc [01:17] can anyone tell me why when i go to hardware drivers I don't see anything. The box is completely empty [01:17] ubuntubi: its just putting the cofiguration back [01:17] unop i just want it to use Aircrack on my MacBook [01:17] ScaryLptp: I will suggest google to cool you off [01:17] lenswipe:: purchase TrueImage Home 10 [01:17] and i have a 2GB [01:17] but it says its too small [01:17] ubuntubi: whats one of those? and where can i get one cheaply? [01:17] lenswipe:: when i foobar'd my entire file system earlier, it took me 15 minutes including reboots, to get back to my system from last week :) [01:17] hardware drivers only mentions non-free drivers [01:17] ERGLupin, there are linux distributions specifically designed for security testing, I'd imagine they include aircrack-ng [01:17] ERGLupin, you'll need to use some other smaller distro then -- or another version of ubuntu - like the !minimal CD [01:18] coler41: the hardware drivers dialog will only show restricted drivers. If you don't see any there, you probably don't need them [01:18] !minimal CD [01:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about minimal cd [01:18] enmasse, linux is much better than windows, once you master it. The only advantage of windows are some very good softwares that are developed to run only on windows :/ [01:18] lenswipe:: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ [01:18] !minimal | ERGLupin, [01:18] ERGLupin,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [01:18] well that sounds like a pain [01:18] the biggest advantage is win-games but the situations changing [01:18] what is a good small linux distro [01:18] Infinito-: i know and thats what bugging me because i do music production so a ton of my apps are gone but also is the problem of an unstable computer [01:18] you would recommend for someone who really only has used UBUNTU [01:18] Infinito-: Don't say ubuntu is better or worse than windows. That's a value judgement, not a fact. [01:18] ubuntubi: ty [01:18] and works well with MacBook OoTB [01:18] guys i like gnome and all but how can i try kDE? [01:18] ERGLupin, perhaps slax for your needs - DSL too [01:18] How can I access my hardware. In other words I have 2 video cards. I want to disable one [01:19] enmasse: try kubuntu :) [01:19] do you know off the top of your head if Slax works out of the box with at least sound mouse and wifi on MacBook? [01:19] Good night !!And sweet dreams !! [01:19] enmasse, install it. sudo aptitude install kde [01:19] enmasse, using kde is very easy. Use your favourite package manager to install 'kubuntu-desktop' [01:19] enmasse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE [01:19] coler41, if it's an integrated one (in the motherboard), you can disable it from the bios [01:19] is there a movie maker software that comes with ubuntu? [01:20] enmasse you can install kde separately or within ubuntu which willbe messy [01:20] anabolix: no, not by default. but i'm sure there's quite a few available for download [01:20] Shujah i installed it from Synaptic [01:20] and it was easy [01:20] ubunubi: any recommended ones>? [01:20] ERGLupin, not sure of a macbook -- definitely not on a PPC [01:20] hmm thanks for the tips, but i still can't even get tor running :( [01:20] since you have just switched - I'll suggest you unistall ubuntu and try kubuntu - that would be clean and less likely to cause problems [01:20] unop its Intel [01:20] ERGLupin, it ought to then [01:21] Shujah: Installing KDE within ubuntu is not messy by any definition of the word. Ubuntu's modular design ensures that it isn't messy. [01:21] anabolix: what kind of source video format are you working with//importing? [01:21] i just tried using ntfsundelete to attempt to recover my files but it didnt work =( no more options [01:21] yea if I remember right Slax is known for device support [01:21] ? [01:21] or was that Knoppix [01:21] but can anyone help me get tor + privoxy running and configured with firefox? [01:21] Stormx2, messy in the sense that too many applications are available for any given task - a somewhat refined user can handle it - but newcomers ought to refrain just my humble view] [01:21] prolly Knoppix [01:21] ERGLupin, that would be knoppix [01:21] ahh yea [01:21] paul_5666: if ntfsundelete didn't recover them, and you don't want to pay for data recovery -- you're probably not getting that data back [01:21] im not sure, just had a random thought of making a movie by piecing together clips/pics with some music [01:21] is there a decent installer with it yet? [01:22] ubunubi: ok then thanks for ur help mate [01:22] last time I checked it was kind of round about [01:22] ERGLupin, slax was designed as a security auditor's distro [01:22] ubunubi: im not sure, just had a random thought of making a movie by piecing together clips/pics with some music [01:22] anabolix:: each movie maker type app will handle some video formats and not others. would help to pick a format so you can pick the app that handles that format the best//easiest [01:22] i remember using small Slax distros [01:22] from Mini CDs [01:22] way back in the day [01:22] how do i connect to a network using ubuntu, i can with vista without problem??? [01:23] tennispolska, which network are you trying to connect to [01:23] my home network [01:23] tennispolska, LAN? Wifi? Modem? [01:23] wifi [01:23] install smb. [01:23] lin to lin or lin to win [01:23] paul_5666: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery for other options [01:23] !wifi | tennispolska [01:23] tennispolska: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:23] shujah: what do you mean?? [01:23] hmm, it doesn't seem to sense my other monitor [01:24] thanks [01:24] yet, its acting as a duclicator right now... [01:24] ubunubi: your talking about the format of the files that im going to use? and they should help me decide on what movie maker to download? [01:24] anabolix:: yes [01:24] Guys, I've found where tor is located but Tork says point me to your Tor CLIENT, which one is the TOR CLIENT? [01:24] your wifi is not being recognized or are you trying to access different pcs on your nw and cant? === Starnestommy is now known as sheep [01:24] I am trying to add . to my path in bashrc but my system wont load if I do. I'm using export PATH=$PATH:. what am i doing wrong? [01:24] My ubuntu pc has real slow ping to internet sites.... what could be causing this? [01:24] enmasse, the one at /usr/bin/tor # if not that one, the one reported by this command. which tor [01:25] anabolix:: you can try something like pitivi from the repo..it'll handle quite a few common formats b/c it interfaces with gstreamer...if that doesn't float your boat try openmovieeditor [01:25] logi4023, how are you connected to the internet? [01:25] wired/ethernet [01:25] ubunubi: thanks alot for the help :D :D [01:25] it was working fine for 6 months till today. [01:25] logi:: is the ping that slow when you're in another OS on the same computer//conenction//ISP ? [01:25] unop: i dont see a file/folder in the bin that says tor??? [01:25] chrismo16, it's not a good idea adding . to PATH [01:26] enmasse, bin? [01:26] anabolix, other video editors to try: PiTiVi, Kino, Cinepaint [01:26] logi4023: is it a slow ping to every site or just some? and has it been all day? or just in the last bit? [01:26] unop: yes im in username/bin looking for a tor file or folder [01:26] enmasse, why username/bin .. i said /usr/bin [01:26] Stormx2: how about cinerrella? [01:27] unop, yeah i heard that but I am learning linux through vid tutorials and it makes following the lessons easier [01:27] unop: thats what i meant by username [01:27] td123, I just copied and pasted off the ubuntu studio website :P [01:27] unop: is that what usr means? [01:27] all day. all sites external to local network. [01:27] enmasse, /usr does not translate to your username [01:27] logi4023: have you tried all the common stuff like rebooting already? [01:27] enmasse, it is a directory on your system [01:27] logi4023: Could be issues at your ISP then, or maybe your router has thrown a wobbly. [01:27] unop: thanks for clearing that up, anyways im in usr/bin [01:27] thanks stormx2 [01:27] cinerrella is geared toward professionals try avidemux pretty handy and many extensive guides online [01:27] btw the best way to remove installed programs is with purge? [01:28] enmasse, what does this command return? which tor [01:28] unop: let me type that in terminal [01:28] anabolix, only if you want to remove configuration too. [01:28] anabolix:: depends on why you're removing it and if you plan on reinstalling it and what your preferences/settings in tact [01:28] anabolix, that's not the "best" way, it is one way -- not necessarily good [01:28] other pcs on the same local network are loading sites ok. [01:28] unop: im in terminal and typed which tor and got nothing [01:28] enmasse, have you actually installed tor? [01:29] enmasse, then type this command out. sudo apt-get install tor [01:29] logi4023: even the same router? [01:29] Stormx2: according to tork i have [01:29] can anyone tell me how to get my visual effects to work. When I first installed Ubuntu it worked. Now it doesnt seem to work. Is there anywhere I can check my hardware? [01:29] i dont think enmasse installed tor - should tork install it as dependency ? === tshine_afk is now known as tshine [01:29] unop: according to tork i have installed it [01:29] !tor | enmasse [01:29] enmasse: TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg [01:29] Just follow the guide. [01:29] enmasse, but according to which, you have not [01:29] is there a way to change the color of the command line when ubuntu boots up [01:29] coler41, go to menu > system > preferences > appearence > visual effetcs [01:29] so its not white [01:29] yes, same router. [01:29] unop, it could have installed it in a location outside of his PATH. [01:29] Shujah: thats what i was thinking too but tork says i have installed it [01:29] unop: tork says i have installed tor [01:30] which wouldn't pick it up, then. [01:30] unop: in home/ali/.tork/tor [01:30] Stormx2, it shouldn't really though it's a possibility [01:30] when i change resolv.conf it goes back to the default when i restart [01:30] unop is ubuntu trying to keep me from adding . to the PATH? [01:30] enmasse, bahh [01:30] Hmm [01:30] unop, I've never heard of "tork". [01:30] enmasse, what is tork? [01:30] unop: but WHEN i go there i cant find anything! [01:30] hello, can someone please assist me with a specific question? [01:30] GUYS HOW DO I GET RID OF TORK!? [01:30] enmasse, then use that then /home/ali/.tork/tor [01:30] tork is tor with gui for kde [01:30] smadow: Yes. [01:30] i tried that, but the screen turns white. Anyway i can check for hardware conflicts? [01:30] logi4023: how much of a ping difference from the other machines are we talking? 20%? 200%? 500%? [01:30] unop: i tried that then it says show me the cleint [01:31] unop: but then i cant find a client file?!? [01:31] I'm having problems with my Macintosh keyboard, I can't change the function keys to act like function keys. They adjust the volume and brightness, is there a way I can make them normal? [01:31] !patience | enmasse [01:31] enmasse: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:31] Hi guys. I am trying to install package /pkcs11-helper and do a "sudo ./configure" in this package but I get this error "error: OpenSSL enabled but cannot be found". Any one know how to fix this problem??? [01:31] chrismo16, it probably is, adding . to PATH is quite insecure, you could have an executable file named ls in your current directory that deletes as much as it can, the next time you go to list files in that directory, you've just committed suicide [01:32] sorry ubottu, excuse my ignorance im sorry [01:32] chrismo16, i suggest not doing this [01:32] TorK is a powerful anonymity manager for the KDE Desktop on Linux and Unix systems. It first helps you to install, configure and use Tor. It then reduces, the task of anonymizing most applications to a single-click [01:32] R0b0t1: System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Keyboard Model> then select your Apple Laptop model from the drop down menu [01:32] hey all, so I have installed ubuntu within windows (maybe through wubi, if I recall correctly) [01:32] unop ok thanks [01:32] okay shujah ill take your advice and do that first, if you can tell me how to get rid of TORK [01:32] Its an iMac, and it has no specific model to select that I can see. [01:32] what I would like to do now is to setup my dell as a dual boot [01:32] Barracuda: Are you sure pkcs11-helper isn't in the repositories? [01:32] enmasse, open synaptic manager and search for tor, see if its installed or not - TOR not TORK [01:33] Barracuda: probably you have only the OpenSSL binary ionstalled, you will need the dev files of that package to build (and ./configure doesn't need sudo on a side-note, only sudo make install) [01:33] Its a chrome/aluminum deal [01:33] anyone know, whats the lightest window manager available in Ubuntu? [01:33] and, in this dual boot, I would like to have all my data, etc from windows saved, and all my data from this ubuntu [01:33] R0b0t1: try the generic "Macintosh" profile and see [01:33] enmasse, if you install tor the right way, it should install it in /usr/bin/tor or /usr/sbin/tor -- please just do this. sudo apt-get install tor [01:33] ideas of how to go about this? [01:33] enmasse, when that is finished type which tor and you should get the location for it [01:33] Stormx2: no I cant't find it in the repositories [01:33] unop: will do [01:33] is there a program equvelint to device mananger [01:33] enmasse, to remove tor. sudo aptitude remove tor [01:34] Shujah: where is the package manager located, currently im using add/remove [01:34] unop: where can i learn these terminal commands because as of right now these seem more efficient [01:34] Shujah, you can access the package manager in different ways, apt-get is one way [01:34] enmasse, menu > system > administration > synaptic package manager [01:34] enmasse: go to system->adminstration->synaptic package manager [01:34] smadow, dual booting is pretty easy. install windows first, then install windows. You'll get the option of which OS to start when you first turn on your computer [01:34] Barnabas, try installing libssl-dev [01:34] yes apt-get is the same thing [01:34] Sorry, Barracuda, try installing libssl-dev [01:35] stormx, you said install windows, then install windows, what do you mean? [01:35] does anyone know how to change the color of your tty* terminals font? [01:35] smadow: install windows, then ubuntu [01:35] enmasse, http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkgtools.en.html [01:35] coler41: sudo lshw ...will give you 99% of the hardware info you need [01:35] smadow, sorry, tired. Install windows, then install ubuntu. [01:35] I will try [01:35] !wubi | smadow, you might also want to look into wubi, it'll be a lot easier.

The machine we're talking about, what operating systems does it have currently? [01:36] thanks [01:36] enmasse, right click (e.g. tor) you get the options reinstall, install, complete removal etc [01:36] Is there an option so that I can use my iMac's keyboard's function keys as normal function keys, instead of them adjusting the volume and other things? I am unable to use program shortcuts that include the F1-12 keys. [01:36] Stormx2, it has windows with a wubi ubuntu installed on it [01:37] my wireless card keeps shutting off at random times [01:37] thanks [01:37] enmasse, or use that aptitude command to the same effect [01:37] does anyone know how i fix it? [01:37] R0b0t1, pref > key board shortcuts [01:37] im gonna try the apt command also on some programs i dont use like k3b [01:37] stormx2, what I want to do is convert the wubi into its own partition, I find that apps often crash and thene can't reopen [01:37] i'll be doing something and all the sudden i dont get any signal even though nm-applet says im connected [01:37] smadow, I need to go get some sleep. Ask your question again, I'm sure someone can help out. If not, try posting a topic on ubuntuforums.org === RogueShadowTC1 is now known as Adam-S [01:37] I assume that is a wubi issue, over being ubuntu [01:37] R0b0t1: sure. download "keytouch" from synaptic repos...you can individually program any key to do just about anything, multimedia related or not [01:38] okay, thanks stormx2 [01:38] smadow, Yeah, I'd imagine it would be.

[01:43] how do i configure them? [01:43] achilles, usually it means the webserver isn't setup properly to handle php files [01:43] Mr_Bad_News: of course then it was using more like 650 MB [01:43] would I be able to take my wubi ubuntu, and turn this into a real ubuntu, I have a lot of settings on it [01:43] not the / [01:43] Mr_Bad_News: take out the cmos battery for 10 secs. [01:43] nice powertool08 i had it on xfce and i could only run firefox or amarok i couldnt run them together [01:43] yes [01:43] im not doing that macrobad [01:44] Mr_Bad_News: or move the jumper for a few seconds [01:44] Shujah: i just downloaded the compiz configurations settings manager is this what i need? [01:44] how would I do that, tony_v [01:44] i've done it before and it completely ruined my computer [01:44] it wouldnt even start after that [01:44] Uop: It just happened when trying to sign up for ubuntu forums [01:44] enmasse, that too - go to menu > system > preferences > advanced desktop effects [01:44] Ok, would saying my multimedia keys also have the labels F1 to F12 on them change anything? For example, when in OSX, I have the option to "Disable function keys as multimedia buttons". I wish to do something like that.... [01:44] is there a way to get mplayer or anything other then totem to resize video when you resize the apps window? [01:44] Shujah: im already in it :D [01:45] Mr_Bad_News: Then you were extremely unlucky, and the problem was somewhere else, since I've done it many times without any unexpected consequences. Anyway, would be more careful the next time then. [01:45] enmasse :D go to effects water effect tick, fire effect tick [01:45] Shujah: how do i do the cube spin thing?! :D [01:45] Is anybody know how to make v4l:/ works ? Camorama works fine, xawtv works, but vlc doesn't :/ [01:45] lol there is an add helper with compiz :D [01:45] Anyone here got an Acer Aspire 3680 or similar? [01:45] Mr_Bad_News: I have also moved the jumper, removed the battery many times and it simply reset bios, no other problems [01:46] I have 2 ide hdd one I partinioned and have xp pro on there and on secont partition I have ubuntu one the secont hdd I fornmated it for linux and have also have a partition for the linux swap there..... is this kosher [01:46] Shujah: how do i spin the cube? [01:46] Mr_Bad_News, it probably is the only way you are going to be able to reset the BIOS password [01:47] enmasse, dude lemme find a good online guide with all the relevent commands [01:47] enmasse: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install compiz-core-settings-manager (or something similar) then you can easily configure all options of compiz [01:47] unop: most forums I try and sign up for just sits and tries to load then pulls up a download for the php file [01:47] powertool08: already got it man :D how do i spin the cUBE?! :D [01:47] enmasse, check this site > http://forlong.blogage.de/ <-cubes are defined [01:47] enmasse, ctrl+alt+click and drag mouse [01:48] I have a problem how do i fix it... I had tried to mount a volume (for my xp files) and it asked for a pass word, so i had it save my wrong username and password and now i can't mount it how do i fix this? [01:48] pagiiiiiiiiii [01:48] ctrl+alt+arrow left/right [01:48] achilles, hmm, strange -- try using another browser to see if the same thing happens - galeon or opera for e.g. [01:48] for a dell powertool08 ? [01:48] god after installing compiz and enabling the extra effects in appearance my comp just suffered a hit :( [01:48] everytime i've removed the battery it fried my mother board [01:48] i have one right now that i tried it too and it beeps now when i try to start it up [01:48] yeah [01:48] enmasse, dude tweak the effects you dont need everything [01:49] and its the same model so i dont want to do that [01:49] Shujah: lol i kinda enabled everything [01:49] I have a problem how do i fix it... I had tried to mount a volume (for my xp files) and it asked for a pass word, so i had it save my wrong username and password and now i can't mount it how do i fix this? HELP!!!! plz [01:49] Mr_Bad_News: moved the jumper on a dell? yes once or twice, mostly on my asus mobo tho [01:49] theres no way i can download something and burn it to a cd to reset it? [01:49] is there a video player besides totem that can resize the viseo when you resize the program window? [01:49] by jumper what do you mean powertool08 ? [01:49] Has anyone here installed MagicJack on a linux box? [01:49] Question: Anyone have a comment on if i should not abandon apt-get in favor of aptitude? [01:49] chrismo16: VLC [01:49] Mr_Bad_News: which model is it? I have never had Dell, just curious.. [01:49] why won't anyone help me!! [01:49] Mr_Bad_News: I have seen live cd's which have bios password crackers on them, no clue how well they work [01:49] ubunubi for some reason my mov wont play in vlc [01:50] Leefmc, apt-get does somethings that aptitude does not [01:50] Leefmc: i'd abandon both and just use synaptic..but unop will probably chime in and dissagree :P [01:50] enmasse, hey get these two apps two - compiz fusion icon (lets you change compiz to metacity with a single click) and emerald themes [01:50] i have two optiplex gx150's [01:50] ubunubi: That doesn't help me over ssh heh [01:50] unop: Oh yea? Does aptitude have things apt-get does not? [01:50] Leefmc, yes [01:50] unop: Suck heh [01:50] leefmc: didn't see you specify that as restriction [01:50] while im here does anyone know how to change the command line color [01:50] Shujah: need some help, i was in the compiz config and enabled some effects, but in appearance i have none selected... so what do i do? [01:50] and when i start my computer it doesnt show it booting up [01:51] ubunubi, i don't use synaptic, but use both apt-get and aptitude - neither is better overall, each does certain things better than the other [01:51] it says bios passed and goes blank until the gdm [01:51] ubunubi: I didnt, but then again i didnt mention anything about a 3rd option. ;P [01:51] Mr_Bad_News: its a 3 pin jumper near your cmos battery, unplug power, move jumper one pin left or right depending on configuration, push power button to drain power completely, move jumper back to original pins, plug in and boot [01:51] ubunubi: So if you wanna get technical, hehe [01:51] Evening guys again and sorry to bother.... I have 2 ide hdd on 1 partinion I have xp pro on there and on second partition I have ubuntu (dual boot and works) on the secont hdd I formated it for linux and have also have a partition for the linux swap there..... is this kosher or should then linux swap be on the hdd ubuntu is on???? [01:51] if entering the ip address of a site loads much faster than entering the domain name, what could be the cause of this problem? [01:51] Will some one plz help me!!! [01:51] I have a problem how do i fix it... I had tried to mount a volume (for my xp files) and it asked for a pass word, so i had it save my wrong username and password and now i can't mount it how do i fix this? [01:51] enmasse, press ctrl+win key + left mousebutton [01:51] unop: i saw your schpeel on your apt vs aptitude speech the other night, hence my comment [01:51] Ok, would saying my multimedia keys also have the labels F1 to F12 on them change anything? For example, when in OSX, I have the option to "Disable function keys as multimedia buttons". I wish to do something like that.... [01:52] Shujah: where and i tried pressing that [01:52] *press ctrl+win key only [01:52] logi4023: big dns server's latency [01:52] theres nothing like that powertool08 [01:52] could someone help me? i have my xbox360 controller plugged in its being recognized but it doesnt do nothing when i press the buttons. i tried to configure in zsnes and joystick calibration but when i press it doesnt work..my controller works fine it works on my xbox and it worked before i reinstalled ubuntu any help? [01:52] i just see the battery [01:52] anywhere are the water effects turned on? [01:52] ubunubi, but you didn't see all of it, if you still want to know why aptitude resolves dependencies better than apt-get does, i can explain [01:52] R0b0t1: what you said makes no sense. repeating it won't get you any extra help [01:52] Shujah: how do i even know if any effects are turned on? [01:52] Atomhunter, unmount it [01:52] it won't unmount [01:53] unop: no thanks i'm pretty sure i caught the whole thing :P unless you took it private [01:53] Shujah: I believe, in compizconfig-settings-manager [01:53] Atomhunter, reboot [01:53] i can't even mount it.......i i have rebooted [01:53] enmasse, from terminal give command compiz-tray-icon [01:53] Mr_Bad_News: hmm, I'm pretty sure all mobo's have that jumper, i'd check the mobo for manufacturer/model/rev info and try to find a manual online [01:53] oh and ubuntu recognizes the controller..i type lsusb and i see it and joystick calibrator see it too its just that when i press the buttons no input/output anyideas? do i have to install something for it to work? [01:53] enmasse, then press Ctrl+Win key [01:53] the battery is the little flat lithium one yes powertool08 ? [01:54] ubunubi, we didn't take it private, i just didn't feel like going through with it [01:54] Mr_Bad_News: yes [01:54] untu [01:54] ubunubi: any other prog u suggest? or do u know of a way to get my mov working? [01:54] theres no jumpers next to it [01:54] Shujah: ali@EnMasse:~$ compiz-tray-icon [01:54] The program 'compiz-tray-icon' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [01:54] sudo apt-get install gnome-compiz-manager [01:54] bash: compiz-tray-icon: command not found [01:54] ali@EnMasse:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-compiz-manager [01:54] [sudo] password for ali: [01:54] enmasse: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:54] Reading package lists... Done [01:54] hey guys, i want to watch youtube videos and i'm running xubuntu. [01:54] enmasse, no, don't ever paste in here [01:54] chrismo16:: i'd try to fix your video issues instead of just move to another player, if i was you [01:54] alowww [01:54] is there an apt-get i can run [01:54] to install flash ? [01:54] install compiz-fusion-icon [01:54] omg soooo sorry [01:54] I really hate adobe [01:54] # is comment in bash, right? [01:54] :( [01:54] hay leh gbung g nich [01:54] cokencode, sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [01:54] isorbuttsor: i had tried mounting it and had told it to remember the password and username, and it gave me an error and i couldn't change the password or username and now can't mount it [01:55] Shujah: anyways says i need to install gnome compiz manager [01:55] Leefmc: yes [01:55] unop: that's not working for some odd reason [01:55] enmasse, It's called "fusion-icon" btw [01:55] okay [01:55] cokencode, why not? [01:55] unop:: i dont mind learning. but personally i only use synaptic..._just_ so my install/unintsall history gets kept in 1 file. i do lots of rollbacks and need a paper trail of installs to sync my test VMs to [01:55] dude install it and install compiz-fusion-icon and emerald manager from synaptic [01:55] is there a way i can setup GDM so when one user logins in, it starts gnome, but when another logs in, it starts kde? [01:55] Is there a way I can disable the multimedia functions of my Apple keyboard? I wish to use the function (F) keys for program shortcuts. [01:55] is anyone having problems with there joypad not working or is it just me? [01:55] powertool08, i dont know if its a boot password or a bios [01:55] oh wait [01:55] is there a difference [01:55] yes it is, sorry [01:55] ubunubi, apt-get and aptitude use dpkg to actually install packages, a log file exists in /var/log/dpkg.log [01:55] i made a typo the first time apparently [01:56] i dont get anything but a password prompt when i start up [01:56] R0b0t1: i bet if you installed that app and built a custom keyboard layout. it would work find [01:56] neothecat, gdm rembers the last saved 'selection' from the sessions menu. so each user can have their own default. [01:56] unop:: yes but synaptic keeps a history log sorted by date and session that's searchable (easily) [01:56] Shujah: I cannot find compiz-fusion-icon there. However, it suggests me to install gnome-compiz-manager [01:56] Mr_Bad_News: both are controlled by bios, you can set it to only prompt when you try to change bios settings, or at every boot [01:56] ok install it [01:56] unop:: and create a download script based on that log, to sync my other machines to [01:56] apparently i have compiz gnome installed but it wants to be gey... [01:56] neothecat, have user #2 select kde from the sessions, it will ask to save it as default.. [01:56] unop: i'm sure it can be done with the others. but it's easiest (for me) that way [01:56] ubuntulog, so does the dpkg.log -- maybe not as searchable, but if you are adept with grep or perl, it's no pain [01:56] hmmm, it installed but it's still not playing [01:56] But I shouldn't need to! Theres obviously something that decided they could be used as such, I wish to disable it. [01:57] unop: installed, but flash vids not playing in firefox ... any suggestions ? [01:57] ubunubi, apt-get --print-uris :) can assist creating download scripts [01:57] use flash 10! [01:57] cokencode, navigate to about:plugins to see if flash is loaded [01:57] Shujah: Well, I'm not that curious after all! :) [01:57] dr_Willis: ok, it looked like whatever session was used last is always used regardless of who logs in, but i will double check. thanks! [01:57] how do I figure out what version of openssh is on my ubuntu server? It's ubuntu v. 8.04.1 [01:57] macrobad, lols [01:58] shade1: ssh -version [01:58] neothecat, it shouldent be. it reads the .dmrc file I think, in each users home dir when they login. to decide on their default sessiion [01:58] burner: thanks [01:58] HELP!!! I had tried to mount my XP volume and used the wrong user and password, and told it to save it and now i can't mount it!!!! HELP!! [01:58] shade1: open synaptic, search for openssh..and look at the installed version label [01:58] Atomhunter, if you typed wrong password that password would not get saved [01:59] shade1: greetings! [01:59] I think he forgot the password [01:59] Atomhunter: xp volume meaning an ntfs or a network filesystem? [01:59] well then i got a weird error then!.............ntfs [01:59] macrobad: hello! [01:59] Atomhunter: you don't need a user/pass to mount ntfs [01:59] macrobad: you seem to hang around here a lot ;) [01:59] Shujah: hey [01:59] !ntfs | Atomhunter [01:59] Atomhunter: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For NTFS write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [01:59] /list [01:59] ubunubi: Fine, what was that programs name? [01:59] ? yeah [01:59] My friend just upgraded firefox, and now it doesn't work: tips? [01:59] Shujah: im in compiz config right now and looking at the settings of the effects [02:00] Atomhunter, did you restart the computer either shutdown or restar [02:00] burner, unless it was the root/sudo password it was wanting? to mount the share.. - Im confused as to why it wanted a password for him also. [02:00] Shujah: what does control super mean? [02:00] go to effects - water effects tick it [02:00] R0b0t1: keytouch & keytouch editor [02:00] isorbuttsor: yep [02:00] i did that [02:00] shade1: Well, actually I've come for the first time today, but noone seems to know the answer to my question, even google... [02:00] enmasse, super key = windows key.. so 'ctrl-windowskey' [02:00] okay [02:00] macrobad: what is it? [02:00] Does anybody happen to know what LOWER_UP network interface state means precisely? You can observe it with 'ip link show' command for example. [02:01] macrobad: why do you ask? [02:01] dr_Willis: to enable compiz effects like water effect do i have to go to system appearance and enable anything from there? or can i just do it all form compizconfig? [02:01] enmasse, then press ctrl+win key just to check if compiz is running [02:01] Atomhunter, then you should be able to mount it how are you trying to mount it command line or through nautilus [02:01] through the file viewer..... [02:01] mods, heads up. Smadow is going to try to do a dual boot (I told him to use gparted and a fresh ubuntu install to preserve his wubi install) If he's back he didn't understand how to set which partition to be root. Just a heads up so y'all know what's up [02:01] Shujah: i press it but nothing is happening... [02:01] R0b0t1: you could also try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-106209.html but it seems more complicated to me [02:01] enmasse, so compiz is not running [02:01] Shujah: how do i get it running? [02:02] enmasse, the main thing i do with compiz.. is turn it off. [02:02] does anyone know how to update your version of firefox? [02:02] Atomhunter, try mounting it in terminal [02:02] install gnome-compiz-manager :P [02:02] ubunubi: Well, I'm thinking, something that is already on my computer decided that they could be used as such. Something must be able to disable it. [02:02] enmasse, you enable the effect. then use the hotkey to activate those effects [02:02] hmm but my compiz is not running willis [02:02] shade1: I was wondering, 'coz I had to troubleshoot my wireless today, and got confused with this flag arbitratly appearing and disappearing. Well, if nobody knows, I'd ask tomorrow. [02:02] i got it to work with the link buner gave me [02:03] well [02:03] its running now [02:03] R0b0t1: you can try to tell keyboard layout to use the Generic 102 profile and see if that converts them. if not you'll still have to manually map them through one of the two solutions I've already provided [02:03] awesome [02:03] burner:thanks [02:03] np [02:03] isorbuttsor: thanks [02:03] macrobad: when we were trying to troubleshoot mine the other day, I read something about it being useful to tell whether or not the cable was plugged in, but I'm not really sure what that means [02:03] yeah so the effects are working? [02:04] yeah [02:04] lol rain effect IS AWESOME :D! [02:04] now install emerald theme manager for additional eyecandy [02:04] does anyone have the rtl8187b wireless card? [02:04] Shujah: whats that? [02:04] !wireless | curtis [02:04] curtis: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:04] macrobad, my inital thought was it had to do with a lower layer property, LOWER_UP meaning the physical layer was up, LOWER_DOWN meaning physical layer down, cable unplugged, signal dropped, etc -- this url does indicate the same.. http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2008-June/031749.html [02:04] !realtek > curtis [02:04] curtis, please see my private message [02:05] I need a simple system for people to trade documents and post news any sugesstions , Sorry for being off topic [02:05] hey new to ubuntu, i've got mozilla 3 ubuntu 8, i can't get the flash going...i have shockwave flash...it flashes black then goes blank on youtube...i disable it and it goes i don't have flash obviously but i've tried installed the flash adobe .rpm converting it into .deb and installing it but it doesn't pop up in the addons.. what am i doing wrong? [02:05] macrobad, what you were seeing yesterday was probably because of an intermittent wireless signal [02:05] aesfubar, using a rpm converted to deb.. was a wrong thing to do... [02:05] aesfubar: what you're doing wrong is everything. trying to install flash from a converted RPM is a great/fast way to trash your system from every playing flash [02:06] ever* [02:06] how do i fix it? [02:06] what do i need to apt-get install to watch wmv videos ? [02:06] cokencode: w32codes from the mediabuntu repo [02:06] Flash is in the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package - and in the package manager under.. somthing with 'flash' in the name. :) [02:06] !find flash [02:06] cokencode: w32codecs * [02:06] unop: opera works fine, just firefox and galeon didn't work they both try and dl php [02:06] Found: flashblock, flashrom, flashybrid, libflash-dev, libflash-mozplugin (and 8 others) [02:06] sup guys [02:07] guys if i enable the fire effect of compiz and the water effect, and then set fire to stuff and then splash it with water, will the fires be extinguised? [02:07] lol [02:07] what [02:07] lol [02:07] Question: Is there a way to search the terminal? Im trying to search a manual for a specific argument, but i can't find it heh [02:07] that was a serious question [02:07] enmasse: uhhh, whatever [02:07] Search as in, CtrlF like [02:07] and im trying to solve it right now :) [02:07] enmasse, the pc will just explode. [02:07] enmasse, it will just burn your computer to ashes [02:08] lol just do sudo gedit pathhere [02:08] then u can ctrl f === shade1 is now known as shader42 [02:08] if its a manual [02:08] then u can open it with gedi [02:08] t [02:08] Leefmc, what manual, you mean man page? [02:08] i thought it would explode from the steam >.< [02:08] unop: hmm... Actually, UP reports administrative state (i.e. enforced by your commands), and NO-CARRIER report operational state (e.g. you brought the interface up, but the signal was lost, or you couldn't get authenticated). It seems, that LOWER_UP doubles this functionality, doesn't it? [02:08] how do I make my user root [02:08] unop: Yea [02:08] This is my laptop [02:08] !sudo | Fungusman [02:08] Fungusman: 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) [02:08] And I can;t use apache cause Im not a ROOT user [02:08] you can run as root using sudo [02:08] unop: But thats sort of irrelevant, i just need a way to search the terminal [02:08] Leefmc, press / then the text you want to search for [02:09] I want to be root all the time [02:09] Fungusman: that's a bad idea :P [02:09] Im trying to convert a bin/cue raw image into an iso via bchunk, but although I set MODE2/2352 i still get an 'incorrect fs' error when trying to mount -t iso9660. Any ideas on how to proceed? [02:09] SNuxoll: K&R? [02:09] Fungusman: you need to learn linux better, thats a horrible idea [02:09] sudo su will do it for your entire terminal session [02:09] Actually, my original idea was about power saving mode, but I have LOWER_UP on my loopback interface... :) [02:09] or you can set the root password, and login with it [02:09] unop: Eh? -bash: /deb: No such file or directory [02:09] if I have a browser window already open, is there a hot key or something that I can sudo it [02:09] it comes disabled usually [02:09] Why is it a bad idea? [02:09] Security ? [02:09] Hello all, i'm new to Ubuntu [02:09] Leefmc, you need a better terminal then :) [02:10] Fungusman, no, and there should be no need to run the browser as root. [02:10] unop: haha [02:10] unop: Im using the default ubuntu one, does it suck that bad? [02:10] unop: Why are they using a faulty terminal heh.. [02:10] so I should use bash to copy my files into this rooted folder ? [02:10] At this point I feel tempted to "use the source", although it's not what I should be doing at this time.. [02:10] macrobad, as i said earlier, i am not really sure what it means, my first impression was that - but i am far from sure [02:10] Fungusman: preferably, yes [02:10] Fungusman, thats very good practice.. to use sudo to do system type tasks. [02:11] guys help [02:11] on xchat i dont see [02:11] dr_willis pm [02:11] Does anyone have any tips for me, being new and whatnot [02:11] an x minimize or maximize! [02:11] mv /home/file new/place [02:11] right ? [02:11] yes [02:11] cool [02:11] thanks [02:11] unop: What terminal do you suggest for ubuntu? [02:11] Fungusman: /new/place if that wasn't a typo [02:11] macrobad: unop, I think the same thing. It makes sense, and the websites I've seen (it was probably the same one) corroborate that. [02:11] Pseudo: can you be more specific? [02:11] Fungusman, with a sudo at the start.. if its to a system type place. [02:11] ok i don't know if this is a good idea i just whant make other people know about this software that i found by surfing.... is a photo manager .deb it's called bluemarine just google it... sorry if i shouden't do stuff like that... let me know...

[02:15] kcaj, play and make [02:15] kcaj: it will do either [02:15] i need help setting up virtualbox [02:15] kc it be like audition [02:15] kcaj: I like audacious, its like winamp/xmms [02:15] unop: we're looking on the same paper! :) [02:15] Oh, that sounds pretty good, is there anything with an FL Studio-like interface? === ShadowXP is now known as Guest92349 [02:15] Question: Anyone familiar with ffmpeg and the -rc_eq argument?

[02:16] as well, which is the command that prints the file type?

[02:16] what [02:16] monostone, file [02:17] Yeah cuz FL Studio is just... really I mean, that is what I grew up with, I have so many VSTi and DXi, etc. and DVDs and CDs full of sounmds [02:17] kcaj, rosegarden does audio and midi, muse does audio and midi [02:17] kcaj: what kind of music you produce? [02:17] unop: thanks [02:17] it is the most familiar environment to me [02:17] yeah it was for me [02:17] macrobad: so, now you're having network troubles too, eh? [02:17] (thus, takes ideas from my head, to the speakers the best) [02:17] until i learned its sound engine was crap [02:17] kcaj: what kind of genres are you doing? [02:17] I mostly make rap and hip-hop, although I've been known to tear up some turntables ;) can do trance, IDM, dance, etc. etc. as well [02:17] kcaj: i do dub/downtempo/progressive metal/rock [02:18] :D [02:18] macrobad, good site this, very nice cross referencing, make it a necessary bookmark - http://lxr.linux.no/ [02:18] True, haha [02:18] What do you use these days, on Linux?

Welcome! [02:19] Meh, I don't care so much for midi keyboards,I have a nice Roland but I rarely use it any more [02:19] kcakc hydrogen is a crossplatform drum machine [02:19] yeah thats why i kind of stopped music production because rap/hip hop is SOOOO comercialized and boring [02:19] I need some generic not-how-to, but-whether-to partitioning advice [02:19] unless you're talking about underground or classic [02:19] See, that is the same reason I do the rap/hip-hop, to fight that stereo type and help propel it [02:20] specifically, is there any reason I need to keep an NTFS partition, other than to run Windows? [02:20] but thats why i switched over to rock/metal/progressive [02:20] guys take the music chat stuff to #ubuntu-offtopic please [02:20] sorry lol [02:20] See, yeah I mix it a lot with classical stuff, 60s, 70s, and 80s rock music, all kinds of things, I'm a polygamist when it comes to my marriage to music.

Now if I try to install the Buuf one again, it says the install failed even though it tries copying it again like it did when I first successfully installed it. Any ideas? [02:20] macrobad: good night :) [02:20] macrobad: it must be getting pretty late there [02:20] has anyone ever removed the battery to reset the bios for a dell optiplex? [02:20] unop: Yeah, thanks for assistance [02:21] macrobad, yw mate [02:21] shader42: 4:20... see you guys! [02:21] macrobad: lol [02:21] alright, in that case, anybody got windows virtualization advice? [02:21] macrobad: bye! [02:21] Mr_Bad_News: what is unpluggin the battery supposed to do for you besides reset your clock? [02:21] not wine, I've already got that === Titanic is now known as R0b0t1 [02:22] Mr_Bad_News: ive had to do that with other computers to clear out and prep for a new install.....i do it before i reinstall anynew OS on a new machine.... had to do it a few times on my Cyperpower [02:22] Mecha25: there is vmware, virtualbox, maybe others, haven't used them much myself to recommend one over the other [02:22] mec virtualbox [02:22] How can i make GEdit to save things on Windows EOF? [02:22] powertool08: thanks though, I'm running Ubuntu/Vista dual boot, with my files in the NTFS part so I can accss them from both systems [02:23] Mecha25: ugh! hows that vista working for you? [02:23] it's getting annoying though, I keep having to resize the partitions when I get more ubuntu apps or more media files. Vista is amazing, once you tweak it. The default settings are a pile of bull !@#$ on a stick, once you fix that it's great. [02:23] i took it out Atomhunter and im still getting a password prompt [02:23] Mecha25: you can also download stuff so windows can see into your linux partition [02:23] Mecha25: lies [02:24] how long do i leave it out? [02:24] powertool: yeah, but it only works with ext2, I have ext3 [02:24] Mr_Bad_News: idk.......i've never got a password prompt on it [02:24] Mr_Bad_News: taking out the battery doesn't fix it afaik [02:24] Mecha25, this is a ubuntu support channel, not a value judgment expo. [02:24] afaik burner ? [02:24] Mecha25, please take this to offtopic [02:24] unop: my apologies, I was looking for advice, I will [02:24] thanks [02:24] how do i get rid of the password prompt [02:24] Mecha25, could get an external drive both os's will read an external [02:24] my brother set it and he doesnt know what it is [02:25] Mr_Bad_News: afaik = as far as i know [02:25] and i cant boot up or get to the bios settings [02:25] Mr_Bad_News: you try contacting dell support? their chat support is decent [02:25] Mr_Bad_News: I forgot my bios password and reset it yesterday with the jumper method I mentioned earlier [02:25] there are no jumpers powertool08 [02:25] Mr_Bad_News, is this a laptop or a desktop? [02:26] desktop [02:26] optiplex gx150 [02:26] there are almost ALWAYs jumpers on the mb [02:26] Mr_Bad_News: I meant that it should clear the password, since it cleared mine yesterday [02:26] Mr_Bad_News, just as long as you remove just the CMOS battery, you will not lose any other data [02:26] what do they look like powertool08 [02:26] i did unop [02:26] the prompt is still there [02:26] Mr_Bad_News: the jumpers? === R0b0t1 is now known as wank`man === wank`man is now known as R0b0t1 [02:27] Mr_Bad_News, you need to remove the batter for upto half an hour with the power chord unplugged [02:27] Whoops [02:27] last dell I pulled jumpers on were colored green [02:27] how do i update my kernal update manager says i am up to date when i know i am not.. [02:27] yes powertool08 [02:27] how do you forward X11 over ssh? I must have something misconfigured, because when I do ssh -X user@host, and then run a program requiring X11, it says "no display specified" [02:27] there is nothing next to the battery [02:27] How can i make GEdit save files with Windows EOL charachters? [02:27] unop: I've almost gone, when noticed a nice link on the lxr.linux.no: http://darwish-07.blogspot.com/2008/02/howto-lxrng-on-ubuntu-710.html They guy explains how to install a local copy of their web site. ^^ Now, I'd finished [02:27] Mr_Bad_News: its just 3 pins, usually within 3 inches of the battery, jumper itself covers 2, can be various colors, mine are blue but i've also seen grey and black [02:27] k20a: how do you know your not up to date? [02:28] pic powertool08 ? [02:28] theres nothing near the battery [02:28] Mr_Bad_News: no camera :( [02:28] td123 when my boot loader loads it shows an older kernal [02:28] macrobad, yea, i know you can have the git repo offline , haven't needed it so far .. but nice to have nonetheless :) === kat is now known as Guest87291 [02:29] macrobad: unop: you guy do kernel hacking? [02:29] Mr_Bad_News, you would need to consult your motherboard's manual for location on these jumpers -- each motherboard varies in terms of layout and schematics [02:29] *guys* [02:30] i dont have one unop [02:30] unop: I've made a couple of local copies so far, because occasionally I have to spend a month or two in a "village" without proper internet access. [02:30] k20a: what do you mean it shows an older version, have you installed a newer version but it selects the older one or what [02:30] k20a, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [02:30] shader42, not so much, every now and then i have to apply a patch or so - but that's about it, i don't code in C very well [02:30] oh wait i found it [02:30] theres just two pins [02:30] what do i do powertool08 [02:30] isorbuttsor: I think he wants to install a newer version of the kernel [02:30] it was hiding under a power cord near the fan [02:30] Mr_Bad_News: 2 pins with a 2 pin jumper on it? [02:31] Mr_Bad_News, those two pins could be anything :) please consult the manual to be sure what to do [02:31] isorbuttsor i don't want to because i have both 32 bit and 64 bit installed...i just want to update the kernal of my 64bit [02:31] macrobad: do you always stay up this late? [02:31] shader42: Not really, since I don't code in C, and just studying linux so far. Perhaps, in winter... [02:31] one pin [02:31] Mr_Bad_News, you should be able to get the manual on the vendor's website [02:31] Holy moly! [02:31] one jumper with two pins i guess powertool08 [02:31] How many people on this IRC? [02:31] they say pswd unop [02:31] k2 can edit the menu to go to the 64 bit kernel [02:31] shader42: No, something must have gone wrong with me on this week! :) [02:31] right under it [02:32] Mr_Bad_News: it will have a label on the mobo next to it, probably CMOS or something, it can be hard to read tho [02:32] hell yes [02:32] got it [02:32] thanks powertool08 [02:32] Mr_Bad_News, well, again, that could be seen as quite ambiguous - pswd doesn't necessarily mean the BIOS password eh? [02:32] np [02:32] do i put the plastic cover back on [02:32] or will that enable the password again [02:33] yes, put the jumper back on [02:33] boot with it off, and then turn off and put back on [02:33] that will re-enable the feature but not set a password [02:33] what do i type in terminal to update my kernal [02:34] k20a, sudo aptitude install linux-image # probably [02:34] k20a, actually run this first. sudo aptitude update === sancho is now known as izmeh [02:34] ok, I have an iso of a vcd, how can I play it? with VLC? [02:34] irc.dal.net [02:34] how do you specify a display when forwarding x11 over ssh? [02:34] k20a, fyi, it's spelt kernel :) [02:35] monostone: if its an iso you can mount it [02:36] shader42, DISPLAY=foobar ssh -X user@host # foobar being the display or host:display [02:36] is 2.6.24.18.20 the latest kernEl? [02:36] powertool08: yes, I have mounted it and i see the vcd folder structure: ext mpegav segment vcd but how to play .vcd files? [02:36] k20a, you on hardy? [02:36] yep [02:36] unop: so I have to define display first? [02:36] now does anyone know how to change the color of the command line for the bios [02:36] k20a: i installed hardy yesterday and have 2.6.24-19 [02:36] or in tty [02:37] shader42, yes in the current environment of the ssh command [02:37] monostone: Hmmm, not sure, I've never opened a .vcd file [02:37] powertool weird cause im on 2.6.24.18.20 [02:37] ill google around some more [02:37] k20a: when did you install? [02:38] Is there anyway that I can connect to http://localhost within FF without getting that "Firefox cant browse the web in offline mode" error?

[02:40] powertool08, how do i re-install ubuntu to repair the problem? [02:40] aeshan: what is the problem, you might not have to re-install [02:40] neil_d, yes or was it 5903 for the 4th session .. can't remember exactly [02:41] neil_d, actually, you might not see anything with netstat as you have inetd running vnc .. but you probably would see an open port if you used a port scanner [02:41] i'm running heron on a laptop, and wish to repair my windows partition; given grub, i can't get the xp cd to see windows on my hd [02:41] powertoo08, evertime I open my evolution,with firefox & pigin IM my PC hangs [02:41] is it possible to change mount position for a partition without format with gparted and such?

[03:34] Shujah, he might be wanting to open up the task-manager or equivalent [03:34] DIL, thanks for getting back. No, they are showing, and I do have shared folders which work through, but I also have zombie folders [03:34] tech0007: well kubuntu displayed it as vesa, i think its the intel driver thanks :) but im getting very log fps in glxgears so just worried [03:34] hard booted since [03:34] I couldn't get to anything [03:34] DIL, Do you know if they're symlinks? [03:34] hmm acn someone help me install ubuntu-desktop on ubuntu server from an ubuntu desktop cd? [03:34] nah [03:34] vbcoderx sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:34] Thanks all :) :) [03:34] i did that [03:35] i set the sources to only the cd rom [03:35] but it can't find it [03:35] vbcoderx, you will need the alternative CD for that [03:35] did you update first? [03:35] damn >.< [03:35] vbcoderx, or use the online repositories [03:35] yes [03:35] gremory: Yup, but it has a checkmark for enable networking, view wireless networks and about. (and it takes forever for that menu to come up) [03:35] DIL, wonder from where the shortcuts came from if they're not defined in smb.conf [03:35] rockenrola, my other ocmputers work fine booted it up [03:35] i did sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [03:35] then edit [03:35] ed [03:35] then sudo apt-get update [03:35] then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.. [03:36] vbcoderx, you can't use the normal desktop CD as a repository -- well you can, but it won't provide all you need [03:36] i guess i'll just download teh alt cd [03:36] vbcoderx, I would think ad the cd's tour sources, then sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [03:36] j_baker: are you cliking there with left mouse button or right mouse button? [03:36] yeah he might wanna go to task manager sorry [03:36] tour sources? [03:36] vbcoderx, if you are going to download the alternate CD just for this, you might as well enable the repositories and install from them [03:36] lol.. i have alraedy renabled them [03:36] whats up [03:36] RIght. When I left click nothing happens [03:36] bash is ignoring my ~/.bash_aliases regardless of what I do (log out in), even if I put them directly in ~/.bashrc and source it!

[03:41] holaaaaaaaaa [03:41] no [03:41] hi! i just unplugged and plugged a pen drive but it doesn't get mounted automatically and it doesn't show on the mount applet [03:41] yea [03:41] how can i chmod everything in a directory? [03:41] manguy: chmod [perm] * [03:41] ubunubi, what happens when you source bash_aliases directly [03:41] i have a dell XPS 410, it came with an internal TEAC 12-in-1 media reader... [03:41] manguy, chmod -R [03:41] emilioeduardob: try plugging it into another port [03:41] Shujah: that does it recursively [03:42] ...and when I plug in a card the light comes on but the card isn't mounted [03:42] thanks!

[03:42] olá [03:43] ubunubi, strange .. make a backup of your ~/.bashrc, create a new one and have one line sourcing .bash_aliases -- see what happens then [03:43] Shujah: what is this metacity i keep hearing of [03:43] is there a way to detect the pen drive without restarting ubuntu?

[03:44] did anyone get an internal TEAC media reader to mount cards in ubuntu [03:44] tech0007: it's not detected, but it was 2 minutes ago.. if i restart it apears again [03:44] enmasse, you can't do that with compiz specific effects [03:45] ubunubi: how about sourcing .bashrc ? [03:45] internal TEAC media reader, cards aren't mounting but the light comes on when a card is plugged in [03:45] Shujah: so how can i make it so that i am not running any effects that slow down my pc but still have my windows decorations and make these settings saved so i dont have to keep redoing them on every boot [03:45] ubunubi, it looks normal .. although i prefer writing it this way. test -f ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bash_aliases [03:45] emilioeduardob: 'sudo rmmod ehci_hcd' then re-insert the drive [03:45] enmasse, what specific decorations do you want [03:45] is there a way to tell Ubuntu not to show my local desktop when I'm remoting into it? [03:46] Shujah: just the one where i can see minimize/max/x [03:46] rockenrola: if i source ~/.bashrc directly from terminal, the aliases do not take effect [03:46] Shujah: to me compiz seems more like a novelty, i can do without it [03:46] ubunubi: than it must be the test that fails. try an echo in it [03:46] ubunubi, tried this? source /home/$USER/.bashrc [03:46] Shujah: but its hard for me to say that the cube is NOT fun :D [03:46] my tv tuner doesn't work either, internal PCIe ATI that dell put in [03:46] enmasse, I diddnt get you - mini/max/x are default so you'll have em without compiz [03:46] so I ask everyone here again: how in the holy h*!! do I get scrollbars into my user windows in GNOME? Issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=788755 [03:47] /msg NickServ identify miked595 inc595ubus [03:47] tech0007: same problem, after that i did modprobe on that module and nothing happends [03:47] unop: can that just be sitting on it's own line? everything else in there is encased between if.... fi 's ? [03:47] xawtv gets no channels [03:47] Shujah: thats what i thought but when i went into terminal and typed compiz everything just went away... [03:47] jdsbluedevl, in edit> profile > edit have you disabled scrol bars? [03:47] jdsbluedevl: if its a bug without a fix, you can't... and don't yell please [03:47] ubunubi, no, comment out those three lines and put this on a line of its own [03:47] enmasse, thats because you have not selected an emerald theme [03:47] ubunubi, this is just a different way of writing the same 3 lines [03:48] unop: if i do that, and launch a terminal, my terminal breaks. never get a command line [03:48] Shujah: no [03:48] Shujah: so how do i go about doing that now that i have emerald? [03:48] emilioeduardob: unload ehci_hcd [03:48] enmasse, dude have you installed fusion icon yet? [03:48] unop: nvm, changing your txt to .bash_aliases instead of .bashrc fixed it [03:48] ubunubi, puzzling .. not sure why .. just make that. source ~/.bash_aliases then [03:48] td123, I was yelling because no one was listening to me, either in here or at Ubuntuforums.org [03:48] enmasse, right click and select emerald manager [03:48] Shujah: well i went into synaptic and could not find compiz-fusion-icon [03:49] enmasse: enmasse do u need anything from compiz? or plain metacity will do? [03:49] just look at that thread and see how many of those posts were mine [03:49] Shujah: i only found compiz-fusion-bcop [03:49] ubunubi, i never said .bashrc :) [03:49] Shujah: well i will try metacity and see how different it is but as of now compiz is just for aesthetics and i can do without it :) [03:49] tech0007: i unloaded it but nothing happends [03:49] unop: yes you did. i copy&pasted it::  ubunubi, tried this? source /home/$USER/.bashrc [03:49] ubunubi, if you put .bashrc there, there is an endless loop going on, .bashrc keeps sourcing itself endlessly [03:49] jdsbluedevl: if people knew the answer, I'm sure they would help you, remember, these are volunteers not paid customer service you can yell at [03:50] ubunubi, that was meant to have gone on the command line .. sorry, i should have said [03:50] my hardware isn't working in ubuntu [03:50] Shujah: i went into terminal and typed emerald and it says i already have a decoration manager... [03:50] unop: thanks for the help [03:50] ubunubi, I was talking about this one. test -f ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bash_aliases [03:50] that should have gone in .bashrc [03:50] enmasse: you have to type emerald --replace [03:50] Shujah: ahh i see what i did wrong I DONT have just FUSION-icon [03:50] Shujah: i thought i need compiz-fusion-icon [03:51] emilioeduardob: its not in lsusb? restart ubuntu then check [03:51] sup channel [03:51] enmasse: if u dont need compiz then y do u need compiz-icon? [03:51] ubunubi, you're thanking me? does that mean you've got this resolved? [03:51] can anybody tell me in which file you change tftp port ? is it in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp [03:51] Shujah: i thought you said i needed it to go to metacity [03:51] unop:: yes [03:51] tech007: it didn't work. I can only boot to shell now, the GUI is gone. How do I restore the old display? [03:51] enmasse, dude it is called compiz-fusion-icon its in the ubuntu repo wonder why you cant get it, try searching via add/remove programs [03:51] ubunubi, cool, what was it you did? [03:52] Shujah: okay, i was searching thru sinaptic but ill try add/remove [03:52] enmasse: if you dont need compiz ...then go to appearence preferences and disable all effects ..that will do.... [03:52] unop:: the line you meant for me to type in terminal was what i put in .bashrc, which was making it an endless loop. just edited it to .bash_aliases [03:52] tech0007: i tried restarting and then it shows, but if i unmount it and extract it , and plug it again it doens't show till the next rebiit [03:52] reboot [03:52] unohu: i did that but then it makes my windows x/min/max go away [03:53] ubunubi, ahh ok .. wonder why the default test was failing then .. something wrong with bash or your .bash_aliases file [03:53] conrad2k: post /var/log/Xorg.0.log to paste.ubuntu.com then 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf' to restore backup [03:53] enmasse: after disabling logout once and log in....... [03:53] unop:: it was just unediting the default test i c&p'd to you. never changed my alias file the whole time. it's default test was failing somehow [03:54] unohu: how do i log out / login? [03:54] anyone know where I could find a script like pastebin? [03:54] my card reader dosent work [03:54] tech007: not sure i understand about posting to paste.ubunto.com [03:54] mpn pay it more [03:54] enmasse: red button in the corner...... [03:54] unop:: you could probably reproduce it on your system. i just unedited the alias test that's already there. you could test yourself [03:54] Shujah: i typed emerald --replace and turned off ALL compiz effects [03:55] emilioeduardob: run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' to check what keeps ur pendrive from remounting [03:55] ubunubi, maybe that was meant to have been written with 'source' rather than '.' . only exists for backwards compat. with the old bourne shell i.e. if [[ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]]; then source ~/.bash_aliases; fi [03:55] i put in a card, the light comes on, but the card isnt mounted [03:55] unohu: hey dude what is emerald theme manager?

[03:57] okay i plugged it in wit the system log up and it sayded the following: [03:57] my ubuntu computer has been working great but the optical drives dont seem to work, every time I try to read a cd or dvd, it says that it cant mount it. any ideas?

[04:00] ferric: do you have gnome-desktop installed? //graphical X desktop environment? [04:00] theres no icon [04:00] oh type mount [04:00] gnome [04:00] SubZeroLux, hmm, could be one of the pam modules at fault -- i would check these files /var/log/{auth.log,syslog} [04:00] ishmandoo: pastebin me your fstab [04:00] SubZeroLux, might also find information in the other files in the same directory [04:01] unop: makes sense, i edited part of that earlier trying to install fprint for my biometrics- which brings me to my next question [04:01] i'm sorry, i have no idea how to do that [04:01] what is my fstab? [04:01] ishmandoo:: do you know how to open a terminal? [04:01] yeah [04:01] heres what it say after i plug in the card http://paste.ubuntu.com/26574/ [04:02] unop: aah, you're absolutely right, my pam.d/common-auth had a duplicate line in it that must have caused a conflict [04:02] ishmandoo: open a terminal, type gedit /etc/fstab ...then copy that text and paste at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and paste the link//URL to that in this chat [04:02] mpn the mount point is usually /media/[volume id]. You can check in nautilus (file manager) for the drive. If it is there, then we can look into why it is not showing up. [04:02] mpn, what des it say when you type "mount" [04:02] ok, second part- i am on a Dell XPS m1330, i'd like to enable the biometric fingerprint scanner, i heard fprint was a good package, anyone have much experience with that? [04:02] SubZeroLux, now that doesn't make sense, pam ought to ignore the repeat [04:03] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5c8582da [04:03] When I install Ubuntu 8.04, is there a way to manually choose packages to install and not?

[04:03] unop: it was slightly different, one said requisite the other was 'required' for pam_unix.so nullok_secure (two entries) [04:03] ishmandoo: check your PM [04:03] MP#S is the volume name [04:03] tech007: okay, i am back where i started with 800x600 resolution, except the screen colors are inverse! [04:03] *mp3s [04:03] there's ur mount point [04:03] SubZeroLux, ahh now, that makes sense [04:04] it was part of the fprint config setup, but the packages would not install [04:04] what happens when u visit /media in gnome? [04:04] ah wait i finded it [04:04] conrad2k: post to paste.ubuntu.com your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:04] SubZeroLux, not sure you'd find much info on biometrics in here -- you might like to try #debian or some authoritative source [04:04] it was /media/MP3S [04:04] ubunubi: yeah, I think gnome or something starts up, but i'm connected to my TV and the rez is too high, so i can't see anything [04:04] unop: sounds good, thanks [04:04] hehe [04:04] thanks very much [04:04] When I install Ubuntu 8.04, is there a way to manually choose packages to install and not? For example, can I completely skip Gnome? [04:04] ubunubi: but I can drop to a shell and edit xorg.conf [04:04] SubZeroLux, yw [04:04] cupe^: you dont want a gui? [04:05] mpn, gj [04:05] tech0007: I want openbox. Not a full DE. [04:05] hi i have a question about a file i downloaded off bit torrent, it takes the form of all these little tiny files that end in .ts.xvid.r#, where # is the file number. is there some way to read this mess in ubuntu and re-assemble the actual video file? [04:05] can i get the ubuntu mobile notebook download link????? [04:05] yeah for some reason gnome isn't adding an icon like it does with the other drives [04:05] tech007: I'll try to do that [04:05] cupe^ is the system so low on hard drive resources that you cannot just change the session in gdm? [04:05] but its mounting [04:05] tech0007: But the question was more of.. can I i.e choose not to install gnome, pidgin, etc etc? [04:06] harriseldon: Nah, I just dont want gnome or any DE at all. [04:06] cupe^: nope, they're installed by default [04:06] back [04:06] that a problem with the hotplug? [04:06] tech0007: That sucks. :/ [04:06] cupe^: you can remove them and check this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox [04:06] Guess I'll have to use server install, then? [04:06] cupe^ you will be hard pressed to find an app that does not require gnome libraries [04:06] does anyone know what .ts.xvid.r is [04:06] cupe^: the alternate install doesn't do that? [04:06] cupe^, get ubuntu server for now DE [04:06] harriseldon: Well.. I don't need ALL of the gnome libs, do I ? [04:06] What version of VMWare should I use (server/workstation?) if I want to use Ubuntu as my main OS and run Windows XP Pro in the VM? I didn't see VMWare in the repositories [04:07] no^ [04:07] Shooooo: you have to download vmware server source and compile === allen is now known as Bob_Sagot [04:07] Shooooo: it's no longer in the repos [04:07] cupe^ they are only loaded as needed. If you have the hard drive space, it does not hurt to be there [04:07] miked595: Just what I thought. Thanks. [04:07] ubunubi: server source, thanks i'll D/L now [04:07] Shooooo: unless you only need vmware player... [04:07] harriseldon: Mkay. [04:07] cupe^: Alternate CD can install a GUI-less box too. If you've got it already [04:07] ubunubi: Haven't created the Virtual Machine yet, so I think I need server. :) === conrad2k is now known as conradk [04:07] The thing is that I want a system that is as clean as possible :> [04:07] cupe^ you can always try debian. Then you get no gui by default. [04:07] Shooooo: yup [04:08] Shooooo: make sure to run the compile as root to avoid a bunch of headaches [04:08] like ubuntu kubuntu xubuntu there oughta be a ubuntu for gaming gbuntu [04:08] cupe^: give arch linux a try.... [04:08] This is so exciting, with a Virtual Machine I might not *EVER* have to boot into Windows again! xD (besides for a few games) [04:08] harriseldon: Aiight, thanks. [04:08] unohu: I did. [04:08] cupe^, yeah I was just thinkin debian net install [04:08] And faile.d [04:08] As everybody else I know. [04:08] :> [04:08] cupe^: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:08] FloodBot3: what? [04:08] cupe^: didnt like it? [04:08] ah, lol [04:09] unohu: Didn't get it running.. ;P [04:09] I don't have that experience yet. [04:09] Though I am pretty sure I will like it, when I get to that level. :> [04:09] anyone know where I can get pastebin source code? trying to run a private one inside an intranet. [04:10] cupe^: okay...anyway give it a try later if u want a lean system.......:-) [04:10] unohu, he can try gentoo for a lean machine.. hehe [04:10] !ot [04:10] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:11] miked595: if ha has the patience :-) [04:11] unohu: Will do. :) Thought I'd advance from ubuntu > debian > arch, maybe. :> [04:11] let's take gentoo arch etc chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:11] or does anyone know what .ts.xvid is or how to read it [04:11] miked595: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.tar.gz [04:12] !divx | khin [04:12] khin: 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 [04:12] hmm.. so i finally decided to grab ff3 w/o updating first on 7.10 ...i ended up w/ some kind of Gran Paradiso 3.0a8 with the %#*@ earth icon =/ [04:12] khin, the r is part of a rar archice [04:12] ubunubi: Should I get the .RPM or the .TAR.GZ? [04:12] khin: did i download that from torrent? [04:12] ice_cream: 7.10 backports has an alpha version of firefox 3. [04:12] * ice_cream nods [04:12] Shooooo: tar.gz ....rpm is bad [04:12] but why the earth icon!?! [04:12] ubunubi, w00t! thanx [04:13] shooo: I concur. Go with tar.gz [04:13] it makes me want to uninstall everything just looking at it [04:13] miked595: enjoy [04:13] So alien or ubuntu not working too well. [04:13] on ubuntu [04:13] i know, i'm demanding [04:14] mpn I just found this regarding drives on desktop http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-443791.html [04:14] ubunubi, rpm is not bad. it is just not used by Ubuntu [04:14] now i have to go through and manually replace it w/ my pretty red firebird icon =/ [04:14] bazhang so do I need to un-rar it or something before I can do anything else [04:14] How can i change the look of gnome-panel? I've seen screenshots where it's black (not color-filled) but it looked nice. How can i do that? [04:14] IdleOne: for his purpose it would be detrimental to use [04:14] ice_cream: You can change your theme if you like, it will probably also change that earth icon to something else. :) Any icon packs you can put in the /home/.icons/ folder. [04:14] ice_cream: Why don't just update Fx? ;P [04:14] khin, just click the first one it should auto-join [04:14] unohu, I just thought about ubuntu MID.. that would be pretty lean right? [04:14] i should probably update the whole system then [04:15] phish: Download a theme from places like gnome-look.org and put the theme into the /home/.themes/ (theme or themes) folder... then open "Appearance" and drag the theme folder into the Appearance window [04:15] hey guys, i have a problem that isn't really related to Ubuntu, but no other chans seem to know and maybe someone here does anyhow... anyway, a forum that i go to is acting a little weird. i can't just type in the url or it'll gimme a 404 but if I go to google and tpye in the url and click the first link (just a normal link to the site) it'll open and the site seems fine. This isn't a problem on my side, as the same thing is happening to [04:15] Shooooo: Alright, thanks :) [04:15] Atomic, this is using ubuntu? [04:16] is it possible to mount an iso in r/w mode and add files, and the iso parameters auto be adjusted on dismount to accommodate the added files? [04:16] ubunubi, /msg ubottu uck [04:16] Shooooo, i am a minimalist, and i dont run gnome, so 'changing theme' will not work =P [04:16] Atomic: Maybe the web site admins made it so you can only access that particular page if you are coming from a certain page, to prevent direct connections to that page. [04:16] bazhang i guess i need to install unrar [04:16] ubunubi, not that i know of [04:17] !info gisomount | ubunubi [04:17] ubunubi: gisomount (source: gisomount): A utility for mounting and managing .iso images. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 30 kB, installed size 268 kB [04:17] cupe^, so the updated fx (weird abbreviation tbh) has reg. icon? [04:17] ice_cream: yep [04:17] bazhang: well it happens when i use my ubuntu partition, or XP [04:17] ice_cream: Fx is the CORRECT abbrevation! ;) [04:17] Shooooo: ah good point, yes, i will check [04:17] tech0007: will that allow r/w ISO and not corrupt it (by auto adjusting) ? [04:17] FF = Final Fantasy. [04:17] i'd rather think of final fantasy === CourtneyR is now known as CR [04:17] (than some tv station) [04:18] ubunubi: original iso will be ro, it will make backup if start changing it [04:18] lol, okay :P [04:18] if linux could talk back to me, i'd probably receive so much anger [04:18] "no! don't compile that! ow.... OW!" [04:19] !ot [04:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:19] ice_cream, please take chat elsewhere [04:19] * ice_cream nods, sadly [04:20] howza enmasse [04:20] guys what's the difference between gtk1/gtk2/gnome [04:20] Shujah: im well you? [04:20] !ot [04:20] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:20] livin n chillin :P [04:20] enmasse gtk1 is obsolescent, gtk2 is current [04:20] enmasse gtk draws the widgets for gnome [04:20] enmasse and gnome is built on gtk2 [04:20] Shujah: okay, but i was looking through the package manager and saw i didnt even have gnome installed, so should i install it? [04:21] enmasse, :S that cant be dude [04:21] enmasse are you using kubuntu or xubuntu or other derivative? [04:21] guys i was looking thru my package manager and saw i didnt even have gnome core installed... so to use a gnome theme I NEED gnome core right? Im using hardy heron [04:21] enmasse no! That's a package from debian, and isn't really intended for ubuntu (used to break stuff in the old days, not sure about now) [04:22] enmasse if you have ubuntu-desktop installed, you can use any theme that's properly made [04:22] kk [04:22] lol [04:22] enmasse note the "correctly made" :) And, a nice tool for use with themes is gnome-color-chooser [04:23] hmm okay ill look at it :D [04:23] There's still no GTK theme CREATOR available? :> [04:23] is there a way to simultaneosly run two sessions of firefox so that if one of them crashes, the other still stayhs alive? (flash plugin crashes often on 64bit; and it kills all mozilla wondows I have open; ) [04:25] guys umicons or buuf icons?! [04:26] wuxia use the -no-remote command line option (check firefox --help from command line for all options) [04:26] Hi everyone, I'm trying to uninstall my bluetooth drivers, but they don't shop up with hciconfig. According to lsmod, bluetooth is being used by rf comm and l2cap. Will I screw up my computer by rmmod ing those two processes? [04:26] hi. i'm trying to get data from an external ext3 disk to my mac disk. i'm running an 8.04 live cd at the moment, and while i can read both drives fine, nautilus gives me "read only" error messages when i try to copy or change anything, but 'mount' tells me that my mac disk is mounted rw. it's obviously something permissions related, so how do i get around it? [04:26] omg BuufIcons or Umicons lol? [04:27] ignignokt00: 'gksu' or 'gksudo' [04:27] tried. no luck. [04:27] let me see what the message actually says [04:28] enmasse what do you mean? png or svg mostly, some xpm. Usually come in icon packs ;) [04:28] nickrud: lol what i meant was which do you guys like more [04:28] The destination is read-only. [04:28] Can anyone help me with that bluetooth issue? [04:28] trying to drag from root nautilus window to root nautilus window [04:28] nickrud: and if i download any icons i can use them in gnome right? do they auto change or do i have to change manually each icon for each thing? [04:28] enmasse, I'm oldfashioned still using Tangerine :P [04:29] enmasse you would download an icon pack, drag it onto the window opened with right click desktop, change background, then select custom on the theme tab section. Then you can change the icons enmasse ;) [04:29] enmasse, download anyicontheme drag to appearance window- it'll install [04:29] Shujah: lol dude if i get icons from deviant art i can just use them right? I dont have to change each icon manually for everything right? [04:30] ignignokt00: I'll admit, that's peculiar if you're trying to go from root to root...........I suppose you could try chmodding the directories/files you're trying to copy....... [04:30] enmasse, yes you'll change all the icons in theme [04:30] enmasse as long as it is part of valid gnome icon theme, all the icons will change automatically [04:30] more specifically? and if i chmod my os x user folder, it won't mess up anything in os x? [04:30] i know this is an ubuntu channel, lol [04:31] enmasse, gnome-llok and gnome-arts are customization pools check em out [04:31] enmasse changing just one icon in all places it might be used (menus, panel, desktop, etc) is not trivial, sadly [04:31] feel a little out of place, but an os x channel would do me worse [04:31] does anybody here can help with a problem with a pendrive in xubutu ? [04:31] !anyone | p47 [04:31] p47: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:31] ignignokt00: Well, I for one, will forgive you :D [04:32] preciate it :) [04:32] ignignokt00: Besides, Mac's are Unix based and Linux is Unix based.......meh, it all fits in my opinion. [04:32] :) [04:32] what is this 'dragging' pfft [04:32] hey, i just have a question about multiple partitions/HDDs in ubuntu: I was using an FTP client, and for some reason it couldn't see outside of the linux partition, to a different HDD or partition, anyone know why? [04:32] use real commands, ignignokt00 =P [04:32] haha, i can try it from the command line if you like [04:33] will that error message be more useful? [04:33] Does VmWareServer work on Hardy ? [04:33] kk [04:33] vock:: are all your partitions the same file FS? ..what was the ftp client? was it running in wine? [04:33] you could also try umounting, changing fmask and dmask, mounting again [04:33] (er... in fstab) [04:33] ignignokt00 if you really don't want to ask on osx , ask on a bsd channel (isn't osx bsd based more than linux based?) Anyway, this is not an osx help channel [04:33] ignignokt00: Anyway, I can't promise chmodding your directories will be completely harmless to the Mac OS, but in theory, you should always be able to change them back. [04:33] how to use qq in ubuntu 8.04 [04:34] vock can you cd out of the current directory at all? sometimes ftp will prevent that for security reasons. It may be a setting on the ftp server. [04:34] ok, so, lotsa threads on the forums about setting up yoru system with TVOut... can anyone point me to the definitive one? [04:34] ubunubi:The ftp client was gFTP, not running under wine [04:34] I can cd out a bit, past the home directory [04:34] thanks bobert i'll give it a go [04:34] but won't let me switch to a different partition [04:34] ignignokt00: If you want to try it, I'd suggest adding full permissions, (777). [04:35] I have a few vmware machines on my 6.06 I'd like to continue using. Anyone using Vmwareserver on their Hardy? [04:35] vock:: and you were trying to connect to another FTP. were you trying to send files from another partition/hdd to the ftp server? [04:35] and all my partions are NTFs [04:35] ignignokt00:: or equivalently a+rwx........whichever :p [04:35] vock do you mean it will let you go from /home/user to /home/user/Documents or can you goto /home/user2/? [04:35] sudo: cd: command not found [04:35] ignignokt00: why do you need to chmod your OSX files?? [04:36] I wanted to send from a different partition than the home partition to a different server [04:36] Can someone check how well the wireless network card on this laptop will work in Ubuntu Hardy Heron - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=UKRMY4LCN2DERKC4D3PFAHQ?skuId=8776158&productCategoryId=abcat0502003&type=product&tab=2&id=1204332255304#productdetail [04:36] hah [04:36] ignignokt00: you can't sudo cd [04:36] ignignokt00 you can't use sudo with cd. [04:36] well, apparently [04:36] (i was laughing to myself about my own problem, sorry) [04:36] I don't have a /home/user2/ [04:36] it won't even let me cd to my user directory [04:36] but i can get out of the my documents directory [04:36] which is odd, considering i did in a root nautilus [04:36] * ice_cream had just updated to fx 2.0.0.15 =D [04:37] vock are you saying that on your client computer you cannot change to a directory outside of the current partition? not on the server [04:37] ignignokt00 then it sounds like you need to use sudo -i so you are root, and can fix whatever you broke [04:37] ubunubi: i need to chmod my osx files because i'm trying to copy data from an external ext3 disk to my osx user folder.. [04:37] sorry, yes, on the client side [04:37] ignignokt00: if you sudo cp the files. they'll go over just fine [04:37] i haven't broken anything [04:37] ignignokt00: without chmodding anything [04:37] reverx: Umm, have you tried using ndisgtk (with ndiswrapper)? [04:37] i promise you, they won't [04:38] or rather, they didn't === RandomCake___ is now known as RandomCake [04:38] ignignokt00: is your OSX partition mounted read only? [04:38] bobertdos: I havn't bought the laptop yet - my bad [04:38] that's the way it's behaving, but no, not according to what 'mount' tells me [04:38] Hey everyone, kill -stop won't stop rf comm, because it's not a process [04:38] what is rf comm, and how do I stop it? [04:39] ignignokt00: pastebin cat /etc/mtab === vasocreta2 is now known as vasocreta [04:39] bobertdos: Curious what kind of connection I'm going to get after going through the how-to guides [04:39] couldn't figure out why my usb HD would light up but not make any entry in dmesg. gave up blaming software feared broken hardware. Untill i discovered that i had the power supply for the drive and my router switched. [04:39] reverx it looks like the wireless card is BCM4310. Broadcom has some issues on Linux with native drivers. I have no experience with these cards. Maybe someone else in the channel has experience with these cards [04:39] Okay, I give. [04:39] How do you connect to the Internet on Ubuntu [04:39] reverx: In that case, I would recommend looking at this while you're planning: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [04:39] TsuruyaSan: you're on the internet now? :P [04:40] amazing part is the little dlink router was funcitoning just find on the extra 6 volts. not fried at all, Cheap d link routers are champs [04:40] Yeah, on Windoze. [04:40] in ubuntu, internet connects to you! [04:40] harriseldon: even with the work arounds [04:40] so, after much searching, I have decided to try my luck here. Anyone have suggestions on getting networking and sound to come back up after suspend and hibernate in Hardy Heron? [04:40] TsuruyaSan plug in a cable to your router, you should get a connection automatically [04:40] More importantly, how do you view the sites the "connecting to the internet" help file points to? [04:40] ubunubi: http://pastebin.ca/1068816 [04:40] ice_cream: That's in Soviet Russia [04:40] reverx: Well, as long as you follow the guides and end up buying a supported card, you should ultimately end up with a nice, solid G connection :) [04:40] Any one heard of a bug with the gnome-themes-extras package? Specifically with the DarkLooks theme? [04:40] oh, i thought ubuntu was international [04:40] TsuruyaSan are you asking how to get your network card working or how to launch firefox? [04:41] nickrud: It's working fine on Windoze, but there's no connection on Ubuntu [04:41] bobertdos: Thats good to know [04:41] Any one have a sec to confirm a bug? [04:41] I know how to launch firefox [04:41] TsuruyaSan is this wireless or cabled? [04:41] Now how do I connect to the Internets [04:41] Cabled [04:41] On a comtrend CT-301 ADSL Modem [04:41] bobertdos: I did notice though that for the BCM4310 there were 3 different versions on the link you gave me [04:41] Shujah: haha got the icon them working :D [04:41] hello [04:41] TsuruyaSan is this a wired or wireless connection? Are you plugged directly into the ADSL modem? [04:42] Wired [04:42] Yes. [04:42] ignignokt00: this may not be the sole problem. but having escaped characters in the mountpoint name can't be helping...i'd copy line #12 into my /etc/fstab and remove the "\040HD" from the mountpoint [04:42] ignignokt00, strange that you have a backslash after Macintosh, eh? [04:42] ppoe ! TsuruyaSan [04:42] hrmmm [04:42] interesting [04:42] * vasocreta sighs in disappointment and contemplates his choice in buying a Linux-based laptop [04:42] i suppose i'll be back in a few, thanks for the idea [04:42] quit [04:42] is there an add-on graphical audio equalizer for gnome/alsa? [04:42] TsuruyaSan ah, pppoeconf is the hard way, the best way (if the modem supports it) is having the modem negociate the connection, and have it give a dhcp address to ubuntu [04:42] !darklooks [04:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about darklooks [04:43] harriseldon: thank you [04:43] reverx: where? [04:43] ignignokt00: then umount /dev/sda2 then mount /dev/sda2 and see if sudo 'ing a copy command works any better [04:43] !gnome-themes-extras [04:43] PorkSoda: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:43] PorkSoda: What bug with DarkLooks? [04:43] reverx: yw [04:43] ............ [04:43] WUT [04:43] bobertdos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom [04:43] * TsuruyaSan explodes. [04:43] TsuruyaSan look up your modem on the net, and see if it has a web browser configuration screen [04:43] If I punch my moniter enough, will it connect automatically? [04:43] Shooooo, On Heron, if you install gnome-themes-extras,, the darklooks theme will not "stick" [04:43] The drivers differ - I don't know what that means. [04:43] ... [04:44] @TsuruyaSan: NO! I have tried it. [04:44] After you set it, it will go back to a light theme when you open apps. [04:44] Is there a channel that deals with the Python programming language? [04:44] Why does better everything always mean me having to search for stuff that gets me even more confused? XD [04:44] ignignokt00, just to give you an idea of full rw access of one of my partitions as myself --> /dev/sda5 on /mnt/share type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000) [04:44] #python ?

[04:44] ubunubi: Ah! Thank you. [04:45] Oh, my bad. [04:45] lolz [04:45] has anyone dealt with their networking and audio going down after waking or resuming their machine from suspend or hibernate? [04:45] TsuruyaSan: !language [04:45] .... [04:45] can anyone help me out? [04:45] PorkSoda: I have never used that package or theme, but I've never had problems with any Metacity themes from gnome-look.org :P (metacity is if you're using compiz-fusion) [04:45] Slow reaction is slow. [04:45] vasocreta: most people that suspend/hibernate, most likely :PP [04:45] a235315 please ask your question and if someone can help, they will respond [04:45] ubunubi: no such luck. same error when trying to sudo cp [04:45] aa235315: What's your question? [04:45] ignignokt00: paste me the exact error? [04:45] TsuruyaSan, in soviet russia, language %#&@$ you =P [04:46] yea, Shooooo I've never had problems with that theme pre Heron [04:46] audio has been giving me probs but i avoid hibernate, as my dell tends to sleep in [04:46] TsuruyaSan http://www.dslreports.com/faq/canbrbd/10.1_Aliant#14406 , about the web interface. [04:46] reverx: Yeah, that's because that table is designed to show you different scenarios with the same card. Example, Does it work with ndiswrapper? No Does it work completely plug and play? No. Does it work when you install fwcutter, Yes. [04:46] cp: cannot create regular file `/media/Macintosh/Users/chris/Movies/12 Monkeys.avi': Read-only file system [04:46] alrighty when i am at the OS screen i choose ubuntu after a 15 secs or so of a black screen i get "Windows was unable to boot, hal.dll is missing" [04:46] PRAISE THE GODS [04:46] * TsuruyaSan glomps nickrud [04:46] if i choose to boot windows, it boots up fine [04:46] Any one on heron wanna confirm a bug, maybe? :) [04:47] I have soooooo many permissions problems with proftp === Apple_cat is now known as Apple_cat_ [04:47] proftpd [04:47] ignignokt00: give me a few to peruse some documentation [04:47] i installed ubuntu 8.04 via live cd within windows [04:47] TsuruyaSan not particularly good, you have to hack the modem. [04:47] thanky thanky [04:47] I'm pretty much a noob [04:47] reverx: My suggestion is to try to find a card that requires the least amount of work possible ;) [04:47] and kind of drunk :) [04:47] has anyone here found a successful workaround to getting suspend and hibernate to work right on Hardy Heron? (I am doing my best here folks). [04:47] can anyone help? [04:47] bobertdos: awesome - okay now that makes a little more sense - I can take it from here unless you can tell me - in a sentance - what ndiswrapper does [04:47] aa235315 you used the wubin installer then? [04:47] everything has a 002 octal [04:47] Woah [04:47] yes [04:47] aa235315 sorry wubi [04:48] * TsuruyaSan puts on his robe and wizard hat and pulls out a pencil [04:48] it seemed like the easies way to do it, since im a total noob when it comes to Linux [04:48] bobertdos: sorry fwcutter [04:48] TsuruyaSan you might want to install pppoeconf, then run sudo pppoeconf in a terminal. Once you do that, you can do sudo pon sudo poff to start stop internet. But I'd hack the modem eventually, it's a much better way to configure it [04:48] TsuruyaSan and hack is only software hack by the way [04:48] I've st up an ftp user [04:48] Oh good [04:48] can I just do a chown var/www and be all good? [04:48] Didn't seem to work [04:49] I understand hardware even less than I do software. === [Iggy] is now known as Iggie [04:49] sigh, Any one know any other heron dark themes? [04:49] reverx: I don't know everything about it myself. It sounds though like it's a configuration utility for Broadcom cards that you can get out of the repos. [04:49] Could someone tell me how to download patches in Ubuntu? [04:49] bobertdos: repos? [04:50] How do I force a JAR to install with sunJAVA instead of the openjdk? [04:50] a manual for vi? [04:50] Nobody huh [04:50] coooooooool,. [04:50] reverx: Synaptic, in other words [04:50] !patience [04:50] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:50] Why do linux folks have to be such dicks [04:50] How do I force a JAR to install with sunJAVA instead of the openjdk? [04:50] You wonder why regular joes won't use the OS [04:50] JarrettGreen wait a bit, no one here seems to be hot on ftp at the moment [04:50] * cuervo starts to pray [04:50] is it safe to say that every user here just does not use suspend or hibernate at all because it simply does not work right? [04:50] !attitude | JarrettGreen [04:50] JarrettGreen: please see above [04:51] vasocreta: I stay away from suspend/hibernate. :P [04:51] JarrettGreen, learn to google [04:51] koolranch: Do you just mean updates for the OS? [04:51] learn to bite me [04:51] PorkSoda: Lots of good Metacity dark themes on gnome-look.org [04:51] @Shoooo: I am sensing that. hehe. === conradk is now known as conrad2k [04:51] cuervo try running vimtutor , it'll teach the basics, and you can install vim-doc to get them all [04:51] bobertdos: Thanks a million, that was great support on your part - its comforting to know I'll be able to get a good connection off of that computer. All I gotta do is a little leg work which is perfectly reasonable. [04:51] well I use "damn small linux" [04:51] Wow [04:51] the help file doesn't exist (just god know why) [04:51] ubunubi: reading something about ubuntu/mac-formatted ipods leads me to believe that booting to os x and turning of journaling for my mac drive might solve it [04:51] I did not understand a word of that page [04:51] JarrettGreen only warning get is this one [04:52] bobertdos: No, I'm trying to download programs for power conservation with linux. Here's the link, if you wouldn't mind helping me [04:52] tech007: sorry, i was having problems!! I think i pasted it to paste.ubuntu.com\ [04:52] k [04:52] sorry [04:52] not using suspend or hibernate sort of kills the idea of using a laptop effectively IMHO. [04:52] I'm trying to download the second item on that page, which I believe is a patch [04:52] again, kinda drunk [04:52] ignignokt00: from what i read, that's an outdated recommendation. i saw a few forum posts that said it didn't work for them. but you can give it a try [04:52] ghat should be worth at least TWO warnings [04:52] I'm new to Ubuntu though, and don't really know what I'm talking about [04:52] oh mein gott [04:52] How do I force a JAR to install with sunJAVA instead of the openjdk? [04:52] any other i deas, before i do? [04:52] vasocreta: Maybe some others use suspend/hibernate, but personally I don't. :) Even in Windows XP it was kinda screwey. [04:52] cuervo what do you mean, not there? [04:52] Hm... [04:52] reverx: happy to be of service :) [04:52] I dunno what I mean [04:52] JarrettGreen no, you warned us. Thanks :) [04:52] JarrettGreen: What was your question? Maybe someone will be online soon that can answer. [04:53] bobertdos: :D [04:53] do you know where I could find an extend vi manual ? [04:53] the vi editor =P [04:53] Well, that told me nothing about how to connect to anything. [04:53] I have a bunch of permissions problems in proftpd [04:53] cuervo: do you have vim-full installed? [04:53] Even if I don't like Windows XP, I guess I'm stuck with it. [04:53] Ew, Vim. [04:53] cuervo try vim.org , but if you search synaptic for vim-doc , install it. Then the docs will be at /usr/share/doc/vim-doc [04:53] I did NOT like Vim. [04:53] Shooo: I have never had problems in windows. BUT windows in itself is a problem. I can't believe that I got sucked into choosing my operating system (Linux) based on principle. I must be retarded. [04:53] koolranch: I don't think I ever got a link >.< [04:53] Gosh!! [04:53] everything has 002 [04:53] JarrettGreen: There's a channel called #proftpd :P Maybe they are more responsive. [04:53] the help file doesn't exist there [04:53] oh, sorry bobertdos [04:53] http://www.lesswatts.org/downloads/ [04:53] there it is [04:54] cuervo, try vimtutor from the command line [04:54] TsuruyaSan I barely did :) Me, I'd go buy a cheeep router with dsl connection :) [04:54] anyone know how to fix the hal.dll error? I am really eager to get Ubuntu up and running [04:54] okay [04:54] * cuervo will open his arms in front a church waiting for a answer [04:54] It's the second download I'm stuck on, bobertdoss [04:54] ignignokt00: i see a late 2007 post that says the ubuntu hfs+ driver can't write to journaled hfs+ yet. so give temporarily disabling journaling a try [04:54] tickless timer [04:54] cool [04:54] Also, maybe you guys shouldn't have it so in the ubuntu help file it links to a webpage when the topic is about connecting to the internet :P [04:54] thanks a bunch ubu === pingu__ is now known as mwhit74 [04:54] aa235315: Not many people here use "Wubi" so it's hard to get support for it. I personally suggest making an EXT3 partition for Ubuntu and installing it via the Live CD... [04:55] I used Wubi [04:55] I'm a noob so it's probably just a general 'I don't know how users and permissions work' problem, not proftpd [04:55] so IU'm sticking put in the ubuntu [04:55] I couldn't be bothered to figure out the Bios stuffs. [04:55] I need to configure the menus to show application names - not just descriptions. [04:55] alright, well ill try a method i just found on a forum so if that doesnt work i guess ill have to do it the hard way:) [04:55] TsuruyaSan true that. But we don't do the docs. [04:55] How do I install a JAR with sun java runtime instead of OpenJDK when they are both installed. [04:55] bluekb: Doesn't the Main Menu only show application names? :/ [04:55] hey guys havn't been on this partition in a while but i keep hearing about how good it is i figured i would give it another shot, so far so good [04:55] TsuruyaSan is connecting via a router not an option? I use dsl fine through a router and router handles the username password details. [04:55] guys wanna help me out? [04:55] Have a good night everyone, thanks for the help [04:56] thanks Shooooo [04:56] TsuruyaSan, it's not that difficult, actually, just a boot menu [04:56] I see nowhere to put the connecting crap I usually do in Windows. [04:56] I miss my darklooks :/ [04:56] and vice versa So for example, instead of seeing just "Firefox" I would see "Web browser - Firefox 3" or something [04:56] How do I install a JAR with sun java runtime instead of OpenJDK when they are both installed. [04:56] TsuruyaSan yes, your modem came with software intended for windows [04:56] @aa235315: have you tried this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314477/en-us [04:56] Noooo Q.Q [04:56] hey can anyone help me with themes for gnome/emerald [04:56] Shooooo, oops, I am getting mixed up between different distros. Sorry. That makes me wonder, though... [04:57] soooooooooooo ubuntu is pretty cool [04:57] koolranch: Sorry, I don't have much experience with that, plus, I REALLY don't recommend applying direct patches to the kernel if you have never dealt with that kind of programming before. [04:57] i have a question for anyone out there who can answer it. i am trying to get a live cd to run on another computer and it doesn't seem to work. i downloaded it, unpacked it and burned it to a cd but it wouldn't boot from the cd on the other computer any help would be awesome [04:57] thoughts? lol [04:57] enmasse, yeah, what's up? [04:57] Once OSS gives Windoze the boot I might be able to figure out how to work all this. Of course, the day OSS gives Windoze the boot is the day I see cardboard boxes flying through the air like birds. [04:57] merula: hey i downloaded this theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/gommapiuma+looks+(gummina+mod)?content=69913 [04:57] I see [04:57] enmasse: What's your question? I use the Metacity themes, not much of Emerald since Compiz and Fusion merged. [04:57] i downloaded this theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/gommapiuma+looks+(gummina+mod)?content=69913 but it looks nothing like it [04:57] is that what that is, a direct patch to the kernal, bobertdos [04:57] ? [04:57] *kernel [04:57] wmhit74 is cd booting in the bios before hard drive booting? [04:57] for example the _ / max / x are like the way the are in windows... [04:57] enmasse, you have to make sure you set up gnome to do it too [04:58] merula: how do i do that? [04:58] How do I install a JAR with sun java runtime instead of OpenJDK when they are both installed. [04:58] koolranch: That is what it appears to be from my point of view. I see C headers and source files, so yes, I would say so. [04:58] enmasse: Sorry, no idea, I never used gtk 2.0 themes... I use the Metacity ones. :) [04:58] harriseldon: yes it is i mean i am running it now on this computer so i got it to work once but its been a long time since then [04:58] enmasse, oh wait... I see. With Emerald, it just sets the windows... you have to run the emerald manager program and then ensure that the package is installed [04:58] i see shooooo oh well, lol i hate your name, i had to count the o's [04:58] mwhit74 you "unpacked it" ? [04:58] merula: again how do i do that >.< === Shooooo is now known as Shoopz [04:59] harriseldon: yea it came in a .rar file [04:59] thanks shoopz [04:59] ok, thanks for the help bobertdos [04:59] drunk drunk drunk [04:59] Agent_bob: yea it came in a .rar file [04:59] enmasse: If you're using Compiz-Fusion and have a decent graphics card (with a working hardware driver), check out the Metacity themes. :) [04:59] mwhit74 what kind of live CD ? [05:00] Agent_bob: so i guess unzipped it would be a better term [05:00] koolranch: May I ask why you are looking to conserve power like that? [05:00] meh [05:00] good lord someone keep me company [05:00] Agent_bob: what do you mean? the live cd for ubuntu [05:00] Shoopz: not using compiz cuz of my card ati 9600xt 128 mb with 512 ram [05:00] I went with some black emerald and gnome themes [05:00] JarrettGreen: Try #ubuntu-offtopic, lots of chatty abnormal peeps there. :) I'm in there too! [05:00] Agent_bob: ... i think the only kind there is [05:00] enmasse, any chance you could upgrade the ram? ^_^ [05:00] * TsuruyaSan leads Jarrett to a chair. "Here, don't hurt yourself :P" [05:00] merula: lol [05:00] Anywhoo, cya. [05:00] thanks shoopz - we are best friends [05:00] not really [05:01] no have cash :( [05:01] mwhit74 i have never see ubuntu live CD's "rar'd" [05:01] enmasse, oh that blows. [05:01] i cant even watch flash videos in firefox with out crashing, its there anything i can do in lunx [05:01] Agent_bob: well can you point me to the correct website then? [05:01] cds-pr: with the correct supported hardware, and proper configuration -- yes, just about anything [05:01] mwhit74 when you insert a cd into a computer and boot it up, the bios will search the drives according the boot order for a device that can boot. If the bios is not set to search the cd drive, it will not boot [05:01] !install | mwhit74 [05:01] mwhit74: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [05:02] cvd-pr, wait for the bug to be fixed =) [05:02] cvd-pr: Are you using the Macromedia Flash package from the Add/Remove and Firefox latest version (non-beta)? :P [05:02] Shoopz, sure like always [05:02] harriseldon: i have already checked this, i think it is the cd i am using [05:02] sooooooooooooo [05:03] he's back! [05:03] mwhit74 then you may want to burn another cd or check the md5sum of your iso image and verify it against the md5sum listed on the download page [05:03] i notice tha firefox crach if i install the libflash [05:03] I accidentally set the gnome-terminal to run a command and close on startup - resulting in not being able to use it. How can I reset this mistake? [05:03] oh i've been here [05:03] mwhit74 http://ubuntu.com [05:03] mwhit74 then you can verify that your iso is not corrupted [05:03] designing [05:03] What is a programs to record my desktop all that I do? [05:03] Shoopz, by the way, I'm having the same problem running Firefox 3.0 Beta and installing the latest adobe flash v9 [05:03] and then put it on a youstube [05:03] xubuntu blows [05:03] I'll say that [05:03] but if i dont install the libflash support i dont have flash audio [05:03] for sure [05:03] hmm why is that? you dont like xfce? [05:03] merula: Sadly it seems Flash is quite sluggish in Firefox. :( Depressing. [05:04] I dunno [05:04] Shoopz, no, not sluggish. Impossible to install normally, yes. [05:04] I was impressed with the GUI but not the functionality of the GUI [05:04] that probably made no sense [05:04] * ice_cream shrugs [05:04] xfce + compiz is nice, imo [05:04] me needs program to record desktop actions, like for a tutorial, and make a youtube [05:05] I like linux, but iut's going to take more to get my mom to use it [05:05] make sen se? [05:05] any suggests? [05:05] I think that libflash is the problem [05:05] i just use a server version of ubuntu and manually install something... like fluxbox in this case [05:05] I can't feel muy face ;) [05:05] kcaj look at recordmydesktop (there is a gtk version) [05:05] Can't feel my face but I can still msiley face :) :) :) :) [05:05] I dunno, kcaj && JarrettGreen, something about the simplicity of gnome works. It's simple to understand, and yet, it has all sorts of powerful features behind it. [05:05] ? [05:06] kcaj i could sujest that you don't teach others until you don't have to ask how to teach them... [05:06] merula - I need to try out gnome - this was KDE 4 [05:06] kcaj but that might defete the purpose. [05:06] JarrettGreen, grab the latest ubuntu [05:06] is there a good GUI for server stuff/ [05:06] ? [05:06] gnome was ok until i suddenly started a hatred for bulky stuff [05:06] libflashsupport have a bug? [05:06] I'm using webmiun [05:06] ice_cream: I thought GNOME was minimalist? [05:07] ice_cream, how do you keep emoting? [05:07] Shoopz, no way [05:07] ice_cream tried fluxbox ? [05:07] I am only going to teach them that compiz fusion rox them hahaha [05:07] merula: hey [05:07] merula, what? [05:07] enmasse, yeah? [05:07] Ubuntu Satanic Edition + compiz fusion (0.7.6) == omgs rox [05:07] ice_cream: bulky stuff? [05:07] merula: okay i found emerland theme manager thing and added the theme there and logged and logged back in and still the same thing... [05:07] kcaj: Once I tried compiz-fusion I can't live without it... Super-M (negative), Super-E (Expo)... (Desktop wall).... godly! [05:07] ice_cream, you are able to put emotes into chat... I forgot the command. [05:07] Agent_bob, that's what i said... i'm using fluxbox =) [05:07] and its kinda starting to get me ticked off... [05:07] merula, i just manually type an = sign and then a letter, like P or D [05:07] merula that's a really good description of why I use gnome myself. I've watched it change over the years, and sometimes forget just how much it does for me now [05:07] enmasse, um... hmph... lemme think... it took a few tries for me to get it right. [05:08] kcaj: that theme looks obnoxious, how do you get work done? [05:08] help needed "installation of debian through usb" [05:08] Shoopz: the same of me [05:08] Shoopz: Of the three main graphical desktop environments, Xfce is the minimalist. [05:08] * vasocreta hangs his head and thinks about sending his computer back to California and buying a Mac. [05:08] ice_cream sorry. only caught the hatred of bloat. my bad. [05:08] merula, but just because you see an emote doesnt mean that i do, as it's client specific =) [05:08] Shoopz: I love compiz [05:08] hardy what do you mean "through usb?" [05:08] im having a problem upgrading, when i type sudo apt-get upgrade i get ... E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [05:08] Sorry I was going offtopic, if you guys wanna chat about compiz-fusion and themes come hit us up in /join #ubuntu-offtopic :P [05:08] ice_cream, gah... sorry. ::headdesk:: it's been a long day.

[05:09] harriseldon: i think that is my problem i didn't get the right files to do the install i am working on that now [05:09] kiwis try a different mirror [05:09] kiwis: pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update, and your sources.list [05:09] ignignokt00: np. if you run into any issues actually copying it. boot into OXS and open a termin and type "id" to get your user id, then mount the hfs+ in fstab using uidmask=(set to osx id) [05:09] harriseldon,pendrive......... [05:09] great, thanks [05:10] ubunubi: Huh, I learned something, I was sure the Macintosh file systems were journaled too........ [05:10] kiwis you did update didnt you ?

[05:10] i didnt get any [05:10] bobertdos: they are (or can be) but it can be disabled just like ext3 [05:10] kiwis not upgrade. update [05:10] and i just installed kubuntu [05:10] hardy you booted off a debian pendrive and want to install it to your hard drive? Or are you asking how to install debian to a pendrive? [05:10] ubunubi: true [05:10] no [05:10] enmasse, okay, you've dragged the folder into the emerald themer and it's there. You've selected it and quit out of the themer, then reloaded X and it's still bad? [05:10] kiwis: I think it's possible your repositoies are old, wich version of ubuntu you have ? when was the last time you made a update ?

It's not in the repositories for ubuntu. [05:11] JarrettGreen you're not going to get a "best" discussion here, you might get some interest in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:11] zi'm jsut confused as to what seperate linix distros in general [05:12] ???.........i want to setup a pendrive through which i can install the debian...............sry if this is nt clear [05:12] ubunubi: Aha! *mentally notes this :)* [05:12] merula: what i did was download the theme, right click, change desktop, install the theme THEN drag the theme into emerland themer and quit out the themer [05:12] ahhhh off topic [05:12] JarrettGreen: #ubuntu-offtopic is the perfect place for that question [05:12] let me log out and log in again [05:12] soooo define 'on topic' for this channel then [05:12] Beat me to in Flannel [05:12] JarrettGreen: Help and Support for Ubuntu [05:12] JarrettGreen support questions for ubuntu [05:12] !topic [05:12] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

Aside from webmin> [05:13] bah of course [05:13] ? [05:13] nickrud, [05:13] ubunubi "repair permissions" that's a mac command ? [05:14] is anyone here good with bluetooth? I can connect to my headset with rfcomm, but not hcitool. It auto disconnects. [i've googled it to death] I've wasted the better part of 2 weeks trying to get it to work. In windows it works fine [05:14] JarrettGreen webmin is depreciated in ubuntu, ebox is the replacement. And a light gui is useful [05:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26587/ [05:14] JarrettGreen: No, there are no server tasks that require a GUI [05:14] JarrettGreen: it's helpful for true noobies, i find. even if just because you can turn on firefox and google for help or have an IRC client for assistance [05:14] ebox huh [05:14] ? [05:14] how do i remove an application ( like pidgin or nautilus ) from automagically starting up? [05:14] JarrettGreen, of course -- you need to have the gui since you're not able to do *absolutely* everything efficiently via terminal [05:14] apt-get ebox? [05:14] webmin is the devil. [05:14] merula: so let me get this right, drag theme into themer select it and close themer and everything should change? [05:14] kiwis: That's not what we asked for. sudo apt-get update, and then also the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list [05:14] jerrcs: a GUI is never useful on a server. just a waste of resources. === Shoopz is now known as Lemon_iguana_ [05:14] !info ebox | JarrettGreen [05:14] jarrettgreen: ebox (source: ebox): the eBox platform - Base framework.

[05:15] JarrettGreen you should do a search for ebox in synaptic or with apt-cache, there are many plugins [05:15] ubunubi irssi :) [05:15] enmasse, you should only have to right-click once, which you did... so just drag it over, select it, and then quit, then restart X by using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [05:15] kiwis, can you paste your sources.list? [05:15] Agent_bob: of course there are alternatives, but they're not _nearly_ as easy to use or multi task getting help, as a GUI version [05:15] JarrettGreen, that's because they arrived later and missed your rant =) [05:15] Agent_bob: he could even use lynx to google for help. but that takes ages compared to firefox [05:15] ubunubi: any chance you know the command for it? ( using xfce and the menus are wack ) [05:15] ubunubi elinks :) [05:16] JarrettGreen we try to keep the jerkyness down, but they still pass through here [05:16] phish: For average apps, they can be removed from the Startup tab in the Sessions Menu under System->Preferences. [05:16] nickrud, lol @ word choice [05:16] nickrud, === gute_ is now known as gute [05:16] * nickrud bows [05:16] but would be 'jerkiness' =) [05:16] there's a program that is overwriting my resolv.conf every time I bring up or down my wireless network, anyone know what it might be> [05:16] ? [05:16] phish: xfce probably doesn't have the same session editor that gnome has. can't help ya there. you'll have to look up XFCE documentation [05:16] merula: okay still no luck.... [05:17] hardy did you look here? http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/446 [05:17] xipietotec: maybe network manager itself? [05:17] ice_cream nah, they don't rate proper spelling. Did it on purpose, xchat does spell checking ;) === Lemon_iguana_ is now known as Shoopz [05:17] I will [05:17] sounds good [05:17] what is ispconfig [05:17] ?

[05:17] unohu: install this theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/gommapiuma+looks+(gummina+mod)?content=69913 [05:17] JarrettGreen ispconfig is probably a different distro. For you, pppoeconf [05:17] ok so i dont know which 'download location' is near me does it really matter when downloading the live cd [05:18] hey i noticed this .avi file cannot be fast forwarded or rewound. does anyone know a good way to convert it into something that can be (i can use ffmpeg but the command line is kind of tedious) [05:18] i'll check out ebox [05:18] i want to setup a pendrive through which i can install the debian [05:18] but whenever i try to use it the _/|_|/x dont come up right... [05:18] mwhit74: Just pick a country that's nearby... It'll help the download speed. [05:18] I like ubuntu - I just use it at a Ruby on Rails enviroment for our web production [05:18] any RoR devs here? [05:18] hardy: you want to install debian FROM a pendrive to your system. or from a LiveCD *to* the pendrive? [05:18] shoopz thanks [05:18] mwhit74: Or if you don't want to pick a mirror location you can download via torrent. :) [05:18] mwhit74: Only in terms of transfer rate [05:19] mwhit74: other than that, no big deal [05:19] so i take it no one know how to install that theme ... [05:19] mmm, the nspluginwrapper fixed the firefox craches [05:19] gracias my friends [05:19] i guess === _law is now known as _law|away [05:19] ill just get compiz/metacity [05:19] !away > _law|away [05:19] _law|away, please see my private message [05:19] i'm trying to use synaptic, and it's telling me to run "dpkg --configure -a" but when I do i get an error, and it does this over and over [05:19] i want the 1st option.........bt never heard abt the second one.......ubunubi [05:19] i hear they have nice themes too === _law|away is now known as _law === RogueShadow is now known as Adam-S [05:20] hardy: is there a real reason you need to install from a USB drive instead of a CD? [05:20] hardy according to debian docs the usb install is in their manual http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/installmanual [05:20] enmasse: its a gtk theme... so u can install it fomr appearance themes... [05:20] hardy you can replace lenny with the name of the version you wish to install (lenny, sid, etc) [05:21] How do I switch back to using Alsa from OSS?

In windows it works fine [05:26] how do I install ebox [05:26] You might want to check your processes list to make sure you don't have any audio related programs dangling in the background. [05:26] Is there any way to change the resolution of the boot screen? Right now it's killing my old CRT with this huge resolution on boot. [05:26] apt-get install ebox [05:26] ?

There are several plugins you'll want as well [05:27] nickrud - thanks bud I appreciate the help [05:27] but I don't know if I have synaptic [05:27] just apt- [05:27] kiwis: You don't need to open it with kdesu.

[05:30] please define 'ON-topic' [05:30] JarrettGreen you're beginning to be a bit disruptive, so please take it over there [05:30] Flannel: yes today this afternoon === pingu__ is now known as mwhit74 [05:31] Flannel: i have 6.1 [05:31] kiwis: You should install a current version (8.04). Edgy (6.10, what you have installed) is no longer supported (and hasn't been for a few monts) [05:31] nickrud - how is typing some words 'disruptive' [05:31] 6.10 [05:31] what is the equalivent of publisher on ubuntu [05:31] kiwis: months. The reason you can't update is because the repositories have been taken down. [05:31] JarrettGreen, on topic? Why that would be found in the topic of this channel! OMG [05:31] JarrettGreen alcohol talk is not welcome here. Ebox is, so stay on that [05:31] sorry :( [05:31] flannel: oh =/ [05:32] sorry guys [05:32] I'm a good IRCr [05:32] just celebrating [05:32] JarrettGreen think absolute disney G rated, and you'll never go wrong ;) [05:32] JarrettGreen: Take the celebration to #ubuntu-offtopic, this isn't the place for it. [05:32] mwhit74 check out scribus (look for it online) [05:32] lol [05:32] JarrettGreen: but you're welcome to do so there. [05:32] k [05:32] I'll move [05:32] thanks flannel [05:32] sorry man [05:33] flannel: is it possible to do dl the latest version instead of burnin another disk [05:33] ice-cream over there> [05:33] ? [05:33] yea [05:33] kiwis: You'd have to update three times. It'll be easier (and faster, and less bandwidth) to just download the new version and do a fresh install [05:33] harriseldon: thanks i think that is what i am looking for [05:34] mwhit74 yw [05:34] omg, can anyone tell me hw to save and exit out of nano, i just edited xorg.conf [05:34] grant_: Would you like me to pick up where Agent_Bob left off? [05:34] carbuntu: ctrl-O is save (Write Out) and ctrl-X is quiet [05:34] carbuntu: quit, even. [05:35] TeslaTony: Did you get my last message? [05:35] so do ctrl O, then ctrl X [05:35] carbuntu: yep, or just ctrl-X, and it will ask if you want to save changes. [05:35] cardbuntu yes it is listed on the bottom of the screen (provided you are actually in nano) [05:35] bobertdos: You asked if I had any sound related programs running that I didn't know about? Yeah...killed PulseAudio, and my screen froze (mouse worked, but nothing else did) [05:36] I'm over in off-topic flannel [05:36] bobertdos: When I tried logging back in it hung again, so I switched to KDE4 (I love backups) [05:36] flannel: i keep doin update but get the same error http://paste.ubuntu.com/26591/ [05:36] ask iceMream [05:36] yes, nw i did ctrl O am i spsd to enter [05:36] just so ya know [05:36] kiwis: Right. You can't update, because the repositories don't exist anymore. [05:37] TeslaTony: I guess I'm not quite sure what to tell you then. I imagine there's a command-line equivalent to changing that setting though. Maybe you could try hunting it down? [05:37] flannel: kk ill just burn a cd of the latest i guess then [05:38] kiwis: That's what I'd recommend [05:39] bobertdos: Yeah. Hopefully I can tweak things from KDE4 and get it all fixed. Thanks for the help. [05:39] hey can anyone tell me why my avant window navigator has stopped working? It was just about 2 or 3 days ago and it's not working anymore, it will show up fine but I can't click on the icons or anything [05:40] But I'm here too Ubuntu rocks?!

Ever try it? [05:46] Adam, no, but tell me more [05:47] lemme try to find the details.... one moment [05:47] k, i appreciate [05:47] After recovering Ubuntu from an installation of XP, I seem to have lost my splash screen. Does anyone know how to remedy this? [05:47] I'm trying to hook a blackberry pearl 8100 up to my computer and it's not detecting it, are there any apps or drivers that I can download to make it work? I looked in the repos but couldn't find anything [05:48] and by splash screen, I mean the Ubuntu loading screen before login [05:49] carbuntu, "sudo nvidia-settings" is what I had to do, I believe I had to install the package also. that should be... something like "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" hopefully somebody will correct me if that's wrong. [05:49] I ran it from a gnome-terminal and it opened up a dialog. [05:49] but it might be in the preferences menu after you get the package. [05:50] ...

[05:55] cdoublejj|afk: binaries made on one system often don't work on another [05:56] cdoublejj|afk: for example, one built for amd64 won't work on a ppc [05:56] Suddenly, for no discernable reason, my Xv stopped working in Ubuntu 8.04.1 with fglrx 8.6 from Envy.

[05:59] kernel_ghost: ok cool, have you done it yourself? [06:00] Shak-: yep [06:00] Is it just not possible to listen to mp3s on the computer while playing doom3? I noticed starting doom3 from the command line, it barks at me about sound device /dev/dsp being busy, which is true because I have mpd running. But I'd like to be able to frag to some Creedance. :-D [06:00] nickrud, will i have to restart x to apply changes [06:01] kernel_ghost: do you use itunes within virtualbox to sync too? I don't see why I should use amarok/gtkpod anymore if I've got a windows install lying around [06:01] SkinnYPup /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) [06:01] isleshocky771: what command are you issuing?

I reintialized my xorg.conf and everthing. Why won't Xv work anymore? [06:03] tonyyarusso: yes [06:03] kernel_ghost: ha, like?

Well, see if you can find that option in the config and comment it out for now perhaps. [06:04] JarrettGreen Flannel's probably called it a night [06:04] Shak-: i use it for freeing the poor phone from its limitations ;) [06:04] How can I change that to say linux without breaking things [06:04] ooooh [06:04] Shak-: I'm just being humane u see === delta_ is now known as DWebb [06:04] nickrud, i'm still having prob getting screenres right can yu suggest something [06:04] carbuntu what video card are you using? [06:05] ok here's an easy enough question, how do I align the icons on my desktop to a grid or at least make them straight and evenly spaced?? [06:05] gnub: try changing the label of partitions === DWebb is now known as TS71DWebb [06:05] kernel_ghost: aha I see, I can't wait for the next pwnage tool to be released [06:05] unohu, Ya thats what I want to do, how do I go about doing that [06:05] Shak-: well it wont be long now..... [06:05] nvidia, not sure ezackly which [06:05] Bidget there is already a grid (which can't be changed, sadly). You can do right click desktop, arrange icons. That's about it. [06:05] !nvidia | carbuntu [06:05] carbuntu: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:05] nickrud, that doesn't do anything though... [06:06] nickrud: Thanks, but that didn't seem to help the cause. MPD kept playing my music, doom3 kept being silent. [06:06] carbuntu, did you get the nvidia-settings dialog to show up? [06:06] gnub: sudo tune2fs -L newnamehere /dev/thediskdevicenamehere [06:06] nickrud, also there is no arrange icons option when I right click [06:06] kernel_ghost: speaking of which, I hadn't migrated to ubuntu yet when I first pwned my phone, has the tool been released for linux? [06:06] adam, no [06:06] Bidget sorry, that's clean up by name [06:06] Shak-: i dont think so [06:06] nickrud, ah I see. [06:06] Shak-: I own a mac anyway [06:06] nickrud: although this time it barked that ioctl OSS_GETVERSION failed and that the sound subsystem is disabled. [06:06] c0mp13371331337 I'm assuming mpd is using alsa directly? [06:06] Shak-: but when I am using ubuntu and want to do my magic, I use widnows in vm [06:07] nickrud, is there something I can download that will help organize my desktop for me or anything? [06:07] carbuntu, you try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" in a terminal? [06:07] tonyyarusso: That command doesn't exist anywhere. [06:07] kernel_ghost: ah ok, vm or vbox? or does it not matter [06:07] nickrud: I didn't tell it to use anything else, so if that's what it uses by default then yes. [06:07] Bidget no. That's one of the weaknesses of gnome, I tend to keep stuff in a couple folders on the desktop for that reason [06:07] isleshocky771: what? [06:07] Shak-: it doesnt matter [06:07] I can't find that directive in the sshd_config [06:07] Shak-: i've used both at various points [06:08] kernel_ghost: do you prefer one over the other? [06:08] c0mp13371331337 you can try installing alsa-oss , then running aoss . That used to work [06:08] Shak-: I also do other peoples iphones in vmware fusion on mac so i dont affect my mac setup [06:08] nickrud, hmm... well there has to be something out there... I guess I'll have to look around [06:08] nickrud, thanks though [06:08] How do you install .tar.gz packages? For example I have one that I download from adobe flash. I pretty sure you run something in the terminal after you download it. [06:08] Shak-: ultimately I prefer vmware, but virtualbox is fine [06:08] c0mp13371331337 I don't do a lot of special stuff with sound, this is stuff I've used a few times over the years [06:08] So similar to the problem I was having, I just want it to work. [06:08] SB: tar -zxvf, or you could just use the gui archive manager [06:09] kernel_ghost: ok cool, im gonna try this out now, thanks for the help :) [06:09] nickrud: Seems I already have it installed, let me try the command now..... BRB [06:09] SB you should do sudo apt-get install libflashplugin-nonfree , that will install flash for you properly [06:09] Shak-: if u can call it that :) [06:10] kernel_ghost: I tried google and no luck :p [06:10] Shak-: well enjoy. u wont have any issues [06:10] hehe luck [06:10] Shak, nickrud. Thanks. [06:10] nickrud: it says E: Couldn't find package libflashplugin-nonfree [06:10] genii, sudo tune2fs -L "BackTrack 3" /dev/sda5 [06:10] genii, still named the same thing though [06:11] genii, in /media [06:11] SB generally anything you would want to install from the web, check in the repositories for it first. See next factoid for finding it [06:11] !hardysources | SB [06:11] SB: In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). [06:11] adam, ok, i got the nvidia settings installed and open, dont knw what to do with it [06:11] Do I need to unmount it first or remount [06:12] SB: do you mean flashplugin-nonfree ? [06:12] click X Server Display Configuration on the left side there. [06:13] !netsplit [06:13] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [06:13] nickrud: 'aoss doom3' works like a charm! Many thanks! [06:14] adam, ok, did that [06:14] carbuntu, Hopefully once you've clicked on X Server Display configuration you'll see it has detected all your monitors usual resolutions and you will be able to pick one. [06:14] carbuntu, I hope. [06:15] c0mp13371331337 I've been doing some looking, and you might want to check out libao-pulse , that should get you the padsp working, if you wrap both mpd and doom in that, you should be able to integrate them both into pulseaudio and have gnome stuff work as well [06:15] nope, 640 x 480 [06:15] carbuntu, Try clicking Detect Displays. And what does it say your display is>? [06:16] c0mp13371331337 I'm putting that on my to do list somewhere, checking that idea for truth. If you do it first, let me know [06:16] how do install the rpm package from simple direc media layer [06:16] !rpm | TheRealCdoublejj [06:16] TheRealCdoublejj: 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) [06:16] nickrud: I'll try that as well, thanks again! [06:17] TheRealCdoublejj I spent over an hour yesterday helping someone clean up from trying to install an rpm they aliened to a deb. Screwed up their package management something fierce. [06:17] shit how do i get sdl for ubuntu i neeed it so i can compile and use my snes emulator much much work for an emulator [06:18] TheRealCdoublejj sdl is available in the repositories, do a search for sdl in synaptic. You'll want the -dev packages for compiling [06:18] linux is like the early windows it uses lots of commands and stuff [06:18] How to monitor CPU and HD temp at Ubuntu ? [06:18] TheRealCdoublejj yeah, ain't it great :)) [06:18] adam, i dont see 'detect display' anywhere, if its at the bottom of the window it may not be visible to me... isn't there sme keyboard manuever for shrinking window size [06:19] sgt there are several packages that do that, do a search in synaptic for cpu temp === coww__^_ is now known as rara_jelek_ [06:19] Umm, I typed killall pulse audio in the terminal. I was wondering if it will stay like that, or I will have to killall on reboot? [06:19] hi, what sw server is necessary to install a chat like this over a lan? [06:20] so when i compile some thing i have to use terminal type in file patch and what not and use -dev [06:20] carbuntu, you can hold alt and should be able to drag the window around [06:20] nickrud: I just installed that package, tried padsp doom3, no sound in doom3. Still getting the same ioctl OSS_GETVERSION failed message. [06:20] TheRealCdoublejj yah, the -dev files have the header files you need to compile against [06:20] carbuntu, sorry easy to forget how small your window is right now === t3soro_ is now known as sudsy [06:20] hi all I have my mounted and running fs [06:21] i need a how too [06:21] c0mp13371331337 ok, thanks. I just saw the Real Sound Guy part, so we missed the real help [06:21] how can I schedule a fsck in next boot? [06:21] lonejack, I don't know, but you might want to search for a package that includes an "irc server". [06:21] normally i just click shit [06:21] lonejack: or "irc daemon" [06:21] carbuntu, now that I think of it, that Hold ALT to drag around your window will prabably help you a whole lot [06:21] info ircd-hybrid | lonejack [06:21] why doesn't the ubuntu site carry pre compiled shit like irc cleints i nned one for feisty fawn since it doesn't have any [06:21] octal: yes [06:21] TheRealCdoublejj I missed the control the command line gave. Used to write my own utils in dos (simple, but ones that did tasks I needed). [06:22] bah [06:22] !info ircd-hybrid | lonejack [06:22] forevertheuni: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/ [06:22] lonejack: ircd-hybrid (source: ircd-hybrid): high-performance secure IRC server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:7.2.2.dfsg.2-3 (hardy), package size 547 kB, installed size 2200 kB [06:22] nickrud: Well, I'd say you've been the real help here, It's definitely working with aoss, and what it does is all I need it to do. Thanks again! [06:22] TheRealCdoublejj there are probably 2 or 3 dozen irc clients in ubuntu [06:22] ty legend [06:22] Umm, I typed killall pulse audio in the terminal. I was wondering if it will stay like that, or I will have to do "killall" again on reboot? [06:22] well i upgraded to FF and now there not under "internet" on the taskbar [06:22] hi can someone help my firefox is so slow 30s to acces a page while its 3 4 s with xp [06:23] TheRealCdoublejj try installing xchat, it's the most used gui irc client in ubuntu. In every single release [06:23] kk [06:23] adam, yes that helpd, when i hit detect display i get CRT-0 [06:23] Why is the gnome xchat nothing near as nice as the one I run under KDE on another system? [06:24] ubottu: thank you [06:24] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [06:24] carbuntu, but did it add more resolutions for your monitor? in the resolution selector [06:24] Gruhahn gnome-xchat is not xchat , and it's totally brain dead [06:24] that answers that :-} [06:24] brb [06:24] not that i can see [06:24] oh wait i need a how to on how to compile shit in linux [06:24] carbuntu, well you clicked it right? hehe [06:24] !compile | TheRealCdoublejj [06:24] TheRealCdoublejj: Compiling software from source?

And watch your language, please. Seriously [06:27] hello. I am having some trouble with DVD playback on my Laptop with Ubuntu 8.04. The graphic card is an ATi Redaon Xpress 200M and my DVD playback is all choppy like there isn't enough resources. My system is a 2 GHz AMD64 chip with 1 GB of RAM. Anyone have any thoughts? [06:27] SB and before you ask, no, I'm not sure how to disable it :) [06:27] k [06:27] help!! my computer wouldn't let me edit my own files!! [06:28] carbuntu, well I am going to have to get to bed, What helped me most is this HowTo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto . I was hoping that would fix your problem it sounds a lot like the one I had. If not the same. Don't give up to soon k. === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [06:28] root@chii:~# chown namire /media/sda3 [06:28] chown: changing ownership of `/media/sda3': Operation not permitted [06:28] KDB9000 I have the same chip, and find I need to disable compiz to get decent playback [06:28] sudo chown?

I don't believe it is even installed. [06:29] if I umount then then I can make stuff in the dirs but as soon as I mount It's readonly to user namire [06:29] KDB9000 if you have hardy, it's installed. You can check with system->prefs->appearance, effects(?) tab [06:29] vfat [06:29] name_name you can't change ownership of vfat with chown, you have to determine ownership at mount time [06:29] nickrud: it's vfat [06:29] ah [06:30] nickrud: Visual Effects is the tab you are referring too. [06:30] ok.. so what do I do, I chown'ed the /dev/sda3 and that didn't help === sgallinger is now known as kr [06:30] !mountingwindows [06:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about mountingwindows [06:30] lol [06:30] awww WT* ubuntu doesn't come with gcc [06:30] aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh [06:30] hey, im trying to use seamless mode on virtualbox, im on hardy [06:31] does anyone know where to get these libraries? http://paste.ubuntu.com/26588/ [06:31] nickrud: still choppy. I changed the Visual Effects to none and I still get choppy DVD playback [06:31] TheRealCdoublejj: just install build-essential.

[06:32] I get: "configure: error: gtk-config not found. Gtk is required for tsemgr" but "gtk-config" isn't in synaptic. [06:32] how? [06:32] ice_cream design decision, this is not a 'compiling' distro by choice [06:32] it's a completely ubuntu package that should just be included and taken away from the repos forever =) [06:32] KDB9000 vlc [06:32] yes, but c roots should be respected, aside =) [06:32] nickrud: ah.

[07:16] bazhang: i was trying to dist-upgrade my kubuntu 8.04 to kubuntu 8.04-1 [07:16] hello [07:16] yao_ziyuan, just a normal upgrade does that [07:16] What's a good Ubuntu approach to monitoring that a point to point link is up, and if it goes down change routes?

[07:26] I have uninstalled pulseaudio, and installed esound, which worked on my desktop [07:26] bazhang: maybe he saw my msg [07:26] powertool08: what im saying is if i allreddy got antivirus on windows and linux , would i still catch all viruses that might go through if i got my C: drive for scan on windows [07:26] bazhang: doesnt matter the problem is caused by the unoffcial repos and those packages he install from them is causing it to fail [07:26] isn't my sources.list referring to the normal ubuntu 8.04 sources? [07:26] yao_ziyuan: read what i just said to bazhang [07:27] ok, thank u yao [07:27] yao_ziyuan: yes the 3 of them [07:27] chriswr: I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean, but if I do, then yes that should be good [07:27] gnomefreak, okay; thought his dist-upgrade added some alpha1/2 packages from intrepid might be the issue [07:27] yao_ziyuan: you need to find the packages that you installed and remove them before you will be able to upgrade (IMHO i would start with new install [07:27] gnomefreak: i was just trying to dist-upgrade to the so-called "ubuntu 8.04-1" [07:27] powertool08: basicly what im saying is i got antivirus on windows and not linux [07:28] bazhang: it can be im just going on the sources.list file [07:28] yao_ziyuan, a normal upgrade does that no need for dist-upgrade [07:28] yao_ziyuan: if your 8.04 is updated than you will automaticly upgrade to point releases [07:28] yao_ziyuan, what does lsb_release -a say [07:28] bazhang: o i recall now [07:28] bazhang: dist-upgrade is experimental [07:28] chriswr: which is fine, but I'd still put it on linux, then you have a second chance to catch anything windows av missed [07:29] yao_ziyuan: no its not [07:29] yao_ziyuan, what does lsb_release -a say [07:29] powertool08: ok, got any idea whats the best , or decent enough?

[07:30] chriswr: I've had good experiences with clamav, it takes awhile to scan but I'm usually scanning hundreds of gb at a time [07:30] yao_ziyuan: i would file a bug report and attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade so i can see exactly what package caused this issue [07:30] chriswr: I also used f-prot on a live cd once and found over 80 viruses on my aunts computer [07:31] it doesnt seems follow that system -> look and feel-> font.... [07:31] bazhang: did you say he had intrepid sources by mistake and tried to upgrade but than relized that he didnt want intrepid or was he on intrepid and trying to downgrade [07:31] powertool08: you know if one will cancel out the other or will those 2 work good together? [07:31] gnomefreak, he changed sources.list back from intrepid; didnt say how they got there [07:31] he also doesnt have -update repos enabled [07:31] chriswr: you might want to get chkrootkit and rkhunter to scan for linux rootkits, although rare, a few do exist and if you get really outdated could get one [07:32] at this point linux is loking a worth while endevour for a side hobby wich is what i wanted to with this pc make it a linux box and toy around with linux [07:32] hi there all [07:32] yao_ziyuan: did you do any commands after the sources list had intrepid repos? [07:32] since i have like 11 computers [07:32] plus a smartphone [07:32] cdoublej, you have been asked many times to stop with the offtopic chat here [07:32] chriswr: they are more on-demand scanners so you only run them when you decide to, don't need all that active protection like on windows [07:32] yao_ziyuan: were you on intrepid and wanted to downgrade to hardy? [07:32] have problem installing new ieee ?? any idea [07:32] oh sorry baz [07:33] cdoublej, wont ask again. [07:33] bashca: it would help if you told us why it inst installing [07:33] powertool08: cool , they dont take up a lot of space do they? [07:33] let me restate my problem: i was trying to upgrade my kubuntu 8.04 to "8.04.1" by kdesu "adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel" , but it resulted in some broken packages (listed at http://www.bytecool.com/ioiforum/read.php?1,8009,8009#msg-8009), and removing these broken packages requires *almost all packages on my system" to be removed too, and i already let the removal go halfway. so i'm very afraid my system will be dead after a reboot. so now i only [07:33] /join #macosx [07:33] yao_ziyuan: thats why [07:33] sorry didn't realize it was a strict channel [07:33] yao_ziyuan: using the -devel you were trying to upgrade to intrepid [07:33] yao_ziyuan, you upgraded to intrepid [07:33] chriswr: I don't think so, I only have a 10 gb / drive (53 gb /home on another partition) and I never got above 53% full on the 10 gb [07:34] chriswr: so in short... no === epifanio__ is now known as epifanio [07:34] gnomefreak: o my [07:34] #ubuntu+1 for intrepid yao_ziyuan [07:34] yao_ziyuan: you will not fix this issue too many packages are broken because of the partial upgrade to intrepid, please reinstall kubuntu 8.04 [07:34] gnomefreak: ...

[07:55] kinda makes it hard to talk or do alot of media editing to only have one program with sound so ya know.

[08:01] how do i paste bin? is there a web site i need? [08:01] cdoublej, what method did you use to obtain FF3?

I will reboot ... thanks [08:21] Is it possible to change the permission of a file in /proc, such that after reboot the change is still intact?

[08:27] hello [08:27] zetheroo, I recall I couldn't set scaling in gui, I had to do it through command line but I set it to a fixed scale which is what I wanted [08:28] anto9us: so perhaps setting it through the GUI was only for Gutsy? [08:28] Hi [08:28] how can I change the menu bar in ubuntu? [08:28] u know, I want it to have "1" menu like Windows [08:28] ok [08:28] not one up, and one down [08:28] zetheroo, perhaps, I know it works on Hardy but I had to do it with command line [08:28] orgthingy, get some themes from gnome-look.org [08:29] does anyone know how to make teamspeak work with PulseAudio? [08:29] ah, ok [08:29] anto9us: it works in Hardy? ... have you ever got it working ... through the GUI I mean...

[08:34] SodaKiller: ach. plx help! [08:35] bashca, what is airprime? [08:35] flingwing, only thing to consider is length of cable in my experience and then it would have to be a really big building for it to make a considerable difference [08:35] no idea [08:35] anto9us: hey ... much simpler and faster is to use Ubuntu Tweak.... its a slick app with all the power management needs in a nice GUI setting [08:35] nothing really, i just installed it from the synaptic package manager. [08:35] bashca, you were successful in compiling that module or not [08:35] zetheroo, it worked for you did it? [08:35] bazhang, am using ZTE mdsl usb [08:36]  i just disconnected an ipod without unmounting it... now the icon is stuck on the desktop and whenever i reconnect my pod i cant play music from it [08:36] SodaKiller: which one? i installed the default Adobe one and it wasn' tworking for audio at ALL. then FF had me install some GStreamer ones + other. [08:36] bashca, what is that [08:36] i'd like to remove them all and get the default adobe one back on and set for my FF plugin. [08:36] bazhang, it's usb mdsl modem for net connection [08:36] anto9us: I always had Ubuntu Tweak installed ... but I went through it again and there was a Power Management section with CPU frequency options etc..... [08:36] bashca, why did you want aircrack then [08:36] bazhang, how compiling the module please [08:36] zetheroo, cool, I'll look at that on my other laptop, thanks [08:37] i just test it [08:37] bashca, paste output of lspci to paste.ubuntu.com [08:37] if anyone is able to help me sort out some flash plugin' + audio problems, feel free to PM me. [08:37] use synaptic package manager to remove other ones that did not work, and install adobes (it's listed in there), and thats all. then it worked.

[08:40] yer lol [08:40] twice [08:40] brrrrrradical, who owns that icon [08:40] brrrrrradical, does dmesg show anything interesting? [08:40] is there like a massive manual that i can download [08:41] aesfuba1, for what [08:41] yea Iggie _> i am trying to add a pen stylus device, but when i type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" it shows nothing. [08:41] for everything [08:41] normally i can edit files easy no problem with nano [08:41] :P [08:41] define interesting ... [08:41] aesfuba1, can you narrow it a bit [08:41] for ubuntu [08:41] what's so special about ubuntu? [08:41] i mean [08:41] brrrrrradical, related to ipod [08:41] other dist. are so good [08:42] aesfuba1, the ubuntuguide.org; the ubuntu wiki are a good place to start [08:42] i dont get whats so special about ubuntu [08:42] woot woot. [08:42] ok [08:42] orgthingy, seriously offtopic [08:42] and how it got one of the most popular Linux dist. [08:42] brrrrrradical, unplug and plug in, then type dmesg [08:42] it turns out that removing almost all my packages is a normal behavior because intrepid is a brand-new distro... [08:42] mk [08:42] oh? thats off-topic? [08:42] orgthingy, yes. [08:43] other distros are so good, yes. [08:43] my alltime fav is gentoo [08:43] !ot [08:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:43] take chit chat to offtopic channel [08:43] but i think ubuntu's livecd and idiot-proof installer + driver install works really well for nubs and ppl who don't want to mess with install. [08:43] two icons now... i can access the new icon but i cant play music from it ... music is "not playable" according to amarok [08:44] wait. how is talking about ubuntu Offtopic for #ubuntu? [08:44] Iggie -> Alright i tried sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and its empty! [08:44] rhythmbox recognises the songs but cant play em [08:44] isn't that like right ON TOPic with this chan? [08:44] am i missing something here? [08:44] doctorgonzo, there is a chat channel for that. [08:44] not if not support [08:44] oh, ok. i should join that one too :-) [08:44] SodaKiller, i'd go to your /etc/X11/ folder in nautilus and check for a failsafe backup of xorg.conf that Ubuntu might be using [08:44] doctorgonzo: this is purely a support channel, whereas #ubuntu-ot is for chatting generally and for questions like that [08:44] how can i search a man file while ignoring case?? [08:45] Iggie - > will check hold on [08:45] oh. ok. sounds good. i was just making friendly with a troller. [08:45] brrrrrradical, you have all your codecs installed? [08:45] sorry for feeding the trolls. [08:45] yes .. everything has been working good up to this point [08:46] does anyone know how to make teamspeak work with PulseAudio? it normally uses [oss /dev/dsp] any other thing i have to do? [08:46] starn, have you tried using WINE to install and use the Windows version of TS? [08:47] hey everyone [08:47] brrrrrradical, I suggest you keep trying in here till you find someone with experience of ipod, sorry I can't help, I don't own one [08:47] okie dokie [08:47] hmm no.. i figured linux version would be more stable. [08:47] cheers [08:47] bazhang [08:48] adept is trying to install java, but java is waiting for me to authorize a EULA, so it's just sitting there, but I can't actually do anything to click okay. is there anything i can do? [08:48] brrrrrradical, who owns that icon that does not work, and have you remounted the ipod from within amarok again after fully quitting amarok (not set to panel) [08:48] starn, pulseaudio is apparently pretty flaky with the native version [08:48] aruquon_, tab to ok then hit enter [08:48] bazhang, no, doesn't work [08:48] aruquon_, open up details [08:49] i did that [08:49] otherwise i wouldn't realize why it's just sitting there [08:49] hitting tab doesn't do anything [08:49] starn, do you have any other audio application running? It may steal the audio device [08:49] aruquon_, how do you know there is a eula then [08:49] nope [08:49] because it shows it when i hit 'show details' [08:50] but it doesn't let me hit okay or tab to okay [08:50] aruquon_, and there is no check box or okay [08:50] bazhang please [08:50] bashca, wait [08:50] ok [08:50] yes, there's a check box, but clicking it doesn't do anything [08:50] starn, do you have padsp installed? [08:51] aruquon_, try the space bar [08:51] nothing [08:51] bashca, paste output of ifconfig to paste.ubuntu.com [08:51] anto9us, i dont even know what that is [08:51] aruquon_, click then enter [08:51] anto9us, i am pretty new to linux. [08:51] just so u know guys ... i rebooted and ran recovery mode and now the icon is gone [08:52] starn, type sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-utils [08:52] it's still nothing [08:52] brrrrrradical, good; now remount ipod with amarok still quit [08:52] what the heck i closed out firefox and other programs and cpu usage whent up? [08:52] and is still up [08:52] it automatically mounted ^^ [08:52] hellos does anyone know if safari is working fine on ubuntu? and which version is the one that works better? [08:52] and music works [08:52] bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26610/ [08:52] brrrrrradical, then mount ipod and do it in amarok as well [08:52] If I've downloaded a .rar archive from the web but then couldn't extract the contents because of an error saying that it's a bad archive, is there a way to fix it and access the content? Or is it nothing but trash? [08:52] can i quit adept in the middle of it trying to do this? [08:53] anto9us, ok appearntly i allready have it. [08:53] then i could install that specific package via the command line [08:53] aruquon_, not the best option but yes [08:53] aruquon_, what package are you installing [08:53] hi [08:53] it's trying to install sun-java6-bin [08:53] is there any way to launch a login shell [08:53] from bash [08:53] gluonman, kb switch of unrar may keep any recoverable files [08:54] aruquon_, part of ubuntu-restricted-extras? [08:54] i don't remember [08:54] anto9us, can you explain the procedure? [08:54] akatsuki, safari does not run on linux, unless you run it through wine [08:54] Iggie -> i couldn't find it, you think there's a way to get the config and readd it to xorg.conf? [08:54] aruquon_, try from the command line and paste any errors when installing the package I mention above [08:54] gluonman, type unrar --help, it explains all switches [08:55] anto9us, alright. If I still need help I'll be back. [08:55] bashca, you are connected via modem now? that is the ppp entry? [08:55] yer guys amarok works too ... its all good [08:55] bazhang, you mentioned a package above? [08:55] yes [08:55] brrrrrradical, ipod safely removed and working now? [08:55] bazhang, yes [08:55] yep [08:55] adept is frozen, so i guess i have to kill it? [08:55] SodaKiller, dunno [08:55] Iggie- > all i have when i type locate xorg.conf , is the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /usr/share/displayconfig-gtk/xorg.conf.fallback [08:55] ubuntu-restricted-extras from command line aruquon_ [08:56] umm is there a channel for games problems or should i ask here? [08:56] brrrrrradical, which games [08:56] brrrrrradical, via wine or native linux [08:56] alien arena ... urban terror [08:56] native [08:56] after i kill adept, what do i need to do to fix the package management system so that it will work again? [08:56] here brrrrrradical [08:57] aruquon_, first try via command line and see if it errors out [08:57] rabelais which safari version is working fine using wine/ [08:57] ? [08:57] you dont know? [08:57] SodaKiller, then delete xorg.conf, make a copy of the fallback file, and rename the copy to "xorg.conf" [08:57] akatsuki, check appdb [08:57] where is that [08:57] !appdb | akatsuki [08:57] akatsuki: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [08:57] anto9us, is the syntax unrar --kb ? [08:58] kewl ... now sometimes (especially in urban terror) when i am playing fullscreen suddenly the game will go windowed and i cant move the mouse at all ... i can use the keyboard though, so i usually ctrl-alt-backspace [08:58] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [08:58] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [08:58] starn, type man padsp and see if you can make sense of it [08:58] now i'm going to try killing adept [08:58] brrrrrradical, this is with compiz or not [08:58] gluonman, looks correct to me, yes [08:58] yer with compiz [08:58] brrrrrradical, try without [08:58] whati is the "ssb" module? [08:58] anto9us, because that didn't really do anything but give me the same output as unrar --help [08:59] gluonman, syntax was wrong then [08:59] okie dokie ... it only happens once in a while but if it does it again i will let u guys know ... thanks [08:59] np [08:59] anto9us, 'twas my guess. [08:59] gluonman, unrar e -kb [08:59] can anyone figure out how the following situation can occur [08:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26611/ [08:59] anto9us, I'll try that. Thank you. [09:00] khin, this the usb stick still? [09:00] bazhang yes [09:00] okay got the same error [09:00] how do i manually remove the lock? [09:00] khin, what about emptying the trash per rizkhan [09:00] and check the database for integrity or whatever else is needed? [09:00] hi :) [09:00] aruquon_, you killed adept? [09:00] yes [09:00] !aptfix [09:00] 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 » === aruquon_ is now known as aruquon [09:01] aruquon, ^^ [09:01] someone here have Ubuntu Cert ? [09:01] how can i stop firefox 3 from opening up the previous tabs should i have close shutdown -h now'd on my system? [09:01] Tipolosko, this is support channel: you have a support question? [09:02] Hi... anyone know if there is a way to make Ubuntu only install the updates it really needs? Its consuming far too much data running it on two systems... each gets ~5-60MB a time :( [09:02] bazhang, am waiting.... [09:02] chazco: uninstall the stuff you don't want updated.. [09:02] bashca, the system does not see your wifi card; and you cannot find the intel driver for it? is that pretty much the situation? [09:03] anto9us, Sweet it Works! [09:03] chazco: you can also set it to only install security updates [09:03] bazhang: sorry, bazhang.. no problem with my ubuntu systems so far :) do you know a channel for ubuntu general chatting? [09:03] bazhang, how can resolve it please [09:03] okay i installed java from the command line, and adept worked to install the rest [09:03] thanks bazhang [09:03] anto9us, thankyou sir/mam [09:03] Tipolosko, the #ubuntu-offtopic channel [09:03] Hey, I know this is not a direct ubuntu problem, but i hope you can help anyways I'm trying to run america's army but the resolution seems not to be supported by my monitor how do i make the game run in a window? or if someone have experience with the game how do i change res. before entering the game? [09:03] Slart - Security updates would do it... cant uninstall everything though :D [09:03] bashca, that is the situation, correct? [09:03] bazhang: thanks for your help! :) [09:03] np [09:04] yes [09:04] chazco: hehe.. I was thinking of openoffice, gimp and such.. that is, if you're not using them [09:04] bazhang, yes [09:04] I've setup a soft raid0 using a alternate disk, everything goes fine except for installing GRUB. It can't install itself on any disk? I can't find usefull help if i google... [09:04] Zeeon: does AA run off the quake engine? [09:04] Slart - I use them... [09:04] anto9us, didn't work. Still said it was a bad archive. So am I to assume it's trash? Or might there be another way to recover the contents? [09:05] Shak-: I don't know but i can find out... [09:05] Should install the /boot folder on a none raid part of one of the hd's? [09:05] off the ut2k4 engine i think [09:05] gluonman, doubt it, sorry [09:05] Zeeon, according to the WINE application database, that game does not run well at all, sorry [09:05] anto9us, thanks for your help. [09:05] bashca, and you checked synaptic and there is nothing there? what was the command used to remove those drivers btw (full command please, not just remove-old) [09:05] AA has native linux (if you dont mind it not being latest release) [09:05] Zeeon: nvm, it uses the unreal engine [09:06] Iggie: im running the linux version [09:06] why am i getting no sound in the chromium game from the usb headphone [09:06] i only get the sound from the onboard speakers [09:06] Shak-: yes that what i got as well [09:06] oh [09:06] from the onboard sound card [09:06] bazhang, i got ieee8112 and tar it then i cd on the dir then i did sudo remove-old [09:06] <\3TATUK> I wanna cut his nuts off. [09:07] <\3TATUK> :D [09:07] or trying to -.- [09:07] \3TATUK, not here [09:07] when i boot ubuntu i get sound from the usb headphone but the sound for the chromium game only comes from the onboard sound, why [09:07] Wobbo, I always do it that way, allow a decent size for it, about +200 meg or so as it can get a bit cramped with multiple kernels and modules sometimes [09:07] bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26612/ [09:07] Zeeon: I don't have the game on me, but did you try looking for config files where you installed the game? there might be a resolution parameter somewhere there [09:07] why do i only get sound from speakers in chromium [09:07] my headphone is a usb version [09:08] bashca, look for that package in synaptic [09:08] bazhang, idid but it's not there [09:08] KeithWeisshar, what is chromium [09:08] Shak-: yes i tried found one called defuser.ini who had som res like settings but im not sure what to change and the settings i found seemed to be 800x600 and surely my monitor supports that :) [09:08] it's a shooter game that came with ubuntu [09:09] it's in the ubuntu repositories [09:09] KeithWeisshar, native or via wine [09:09] native [09:09] Wobbo, it has to load the kernel before it can do any RAID stuff so the kernel would have to be outside the RAID itself [09:09] KeithWeisshar, you have two sound cards? [09:09] anto9us: you mean installing a separate /boot folder [09:09] Wobbo, yes [09:09] i have onboard sound and a usb headset [09:09] anto9us: thanks ill try it === RandomCake___ is now known as RandomCake [09:09] hey guys ... its me agen ... im annoying i know .. last question ... somewhere along the line i stuffed up what native executables run with and now i cant use them [09:09] bazhang, please ?? [09:10] Shak-: if you have the time your more than welcome to take a look at the ini file... [09:10] Zeeon: so when you start the game nothing shows up and you have to kill the process? [09:10] anyone know if /usr/local/nginx is fhs compliant? the fhs says this: "No other directories, except those listed below, may be in /usr/local *after first installing* a FHS-compliant system." (the * were added by me) [09:10] KeithWeisshar, so it is a hardware issue with your headsets? [09:10] bashca, what directory did you remove that package from? === powertool08 is now known as ubuntu-offtopic [09:10] i get sound from the usb headset when i boot ubuntu but not when playing chromium [09:10] the boot folder can be on a disk where some partitions are used for raid.... but i should use /sda's first part for boot? hd0,0 [09:10] Shak-: when i start up my monitor shows the "Input not supported" message and i have to reboot... === ubuntu-offtopic is now known as powertool08 [09:11] bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26612/ [09:11] the sound from chromium only comes from speakers [09:11] KeithWeisshar: chances are it's using a different audio output (OSS, perhaps?) [09:11] bashca, can you just tell me the directory name? (on one line or less?) [09:11] what audio output does chromium use [09:11] KeithWeisshar: i think... maybe... i'm still not 100% clear on how all that works [09:11] I tried changing my desktop res. but i can't go lower than 1152x864 it would seem...even thou im using a 10:16 screen so it looks like crap [09:11] bazhang, /Download/ipw/ieee80211-1.2.17 [09:12] bashca, no; where did you remove old from? from within / ? [09:12] bazhang, remove-old it's in the /Download/ipw/ieee80211-1.2.17 [09:13] why is the chromium game sound only coming from speakers even with the usb headset plugged in [09:13] i get sound from the usb headset when i log in and log off [09:13] bazhang, please check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/26612/ [09:13] ubuntu uses alsa [09:13] bashca, what is that [09:13] Shak-: any way i can run the app. in a window perhaps? [09:14] i paste the dir.. with the content [09:14] bashca, were you deleting things from within / ? [09:14] umm guys when i click on a file i've marked as executable nothing happens ... PLEASE HELP [09:14] my headphone chipset is c-media usb audio [09:14] bashca, without knowing how to recover? [09:14] bazhang, please if u check the link u will know [09:14] my usb headset uses a c-media chipset [09:14] brrrrrradical, what file [09:15] bazhang, ieee80211_geo.c INSTALL remove-old [09:15] brrrrrradical, execute it from a command shell, it will give you better feedback [09:16] ok [09:16] brrrrrradical, what file [09:16] hello is there a special ubuntu verson for the asus eee?

Booting a livecd from usb or cdrom isnt an option [09:18] snarkste1, it's a device everyone should have, especially me [09:18] bazhang, ?? [09:18] bashca, were you deleting stuff in / ? [09:18] lol [09:19] well the problem happens with links to openarena and alienarena too... and i installed them from repos [09:19] snarkste1, what's your scripting problem? Do it here so we all get the benefit [09:19] add/remove programs neway [09:19] KenSentMe: nope, not really [09:19] brrrrrradical, then no need to install that deb [09:19] sorry? what deb? [09:19] well that my problem it isnt working I think i forgot something [09:19] KenSentMe: about the most you can do without any media is Wubi [09:20] or you can try it over a network === adam is now known as Guest69750 [09:20] KenSentMe, unetbootin [09:20] but here goes: for %i in *.tiff, do tesseract %i.tiff -l eng, done [09:20] bazhang i havent sed nething about a deb ... u've lost me [09:20] can any1 help me connect thru kvpnc to windows server thru inet ? [09:20] giving me probs [09:20] bazhang, and install on a spare partition? [09:20] brrrrrradical, got a link for that file? [09:20] KenSentMe, right [09:21] bazhang u have totally lost me [09:21] brrrrrradical, tis mutual [09:21] should it be $ or is % correct [09:21] bazhang, from directory which i download it and tar it [09:22] snarkste1, I don't think you need the first % [09:22] bazhang, i paste the link which will show u the directory which i did remove-old from it [09:22] ah ok [09:22] how do I find out if the winmodem in my laptop is supported ? [09:22] ? === yacc_ is now known as yacc [09:23] neil_d: try the liveCD [09:23] neil_d: usually you can just google it [09:23] snarkste1, and yes it's $ instead of % === RandomCake___ is now known as RandomCake [09:23] ubuntu + "name of winmodem" [09:23] ah thought so [09:24] is there a way to install hardy on ICH10 mobos? seems hardy's kernel 2.6.24-19 has no support for it [09:24] so installing is hard. for some reason or other that user doesn't want to use AHCI [09:24] snarkste1, and I don't think you need the .tiff part inside the loop [09:25] can any1 help me connect thru kvpnc to windows server thru inet ? [09:25] wols, I think that's the latest kernel [09:25] winmodems eh? [09:25] hmm i keep getting a > instead of any activity [09:25] does anyone even still provide dialup? [09:26] I know. the question now is: how to install ubuntu on a p45 mobo? is there any solution yet? mobos are out in the streets [09:26] snarkste1: sounds like you've got a missing quote [09:26] hello [09:26] wols, only way is to compile your own kernel with support I guess [09:26] anto9us: that doesn't really help at install time... [09:26] gordonjcp: Surprisingly a lot of people still use dialup. But modems are also useful to have working if you like to fax [09:27] i am logged in as ROOT and i want to see who logged in as USER, how do i do that?? [09:27] hmm yah somehting isnt right [09:27] wols, install on another system then connect the hard drive to that mobo, may work [09:27] huiii: w or who command [09:27] huiii, why are you logged in as root [09:27] logging in as root is danger, will robinson [09:27] genii: yeah, I just did a bit of googling [09:27] * snarkste1 says Danger Will Robinson Danger!!! [09:27] genii: thx [09:28] bazhang, ?? [09:28] genii: looks like several ISPs here will offer dialup, but it's expensive [09:28] snarkste1, it's expecting another parameter from somewhere [09:28] genii: probably rarity value [09:28] gordonjcp: Heh, maybe. [09:28] yup [09:28] just not sure [09:28] bazhang: i am writing a bash script that will be executed from acpi-hotkey-event, that is root-level but want to apply the execution on the logged USER-level [09:28] bashca, /join #aircrack [09:29] hey willys [09:29] genii: costs extra because they need to hire a steam boiler inspector to bring their dusty old portslave back up [09:29] wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww [09:29] whops sorry [09:29] gordonjcp: The ISP I volunteer admin at has about 3000 dialup users and only about 200 high-speed users [09:29] thanks [09:29] genii: interesting, where's that? [09:29] gordonjcp: I'll pm it to you [09:29] wow people still living under rocks [09:30] Dial up still the only option for some urban areas [09:30] Mostly because of the old wiring [09:31] genii: is there an other way, so that i just get USERNAME? [09:32] hi, I found some old machine with edgy and I need to do upgrade... but edgy is no longer in archives, so where to get update-manager-core ? [09:32] huiii: users [09:33] which vendor should I use to order a cheap ubuntu cd from? [09:33] shipit takes too long [09:33] shipit takes a few weeks [09:33] have look at ebay [09:33] hey all i ordered my atheros 5008 card yesterday and that will fix all the my wireless problems, a whole $60 to make all problems go away [09:33] KeithWeisshar, check distrowatch.com front page [09:34] just get a friend to download/burn ? [09:34] KeithWeisshar: just ask a neighbor with a fat pipe to download it [09:34] bazhang, no 1 there helping ??? [09:34] hi all, may I know where can I see the list of updates issued so far for Ubuntu 8.04? [09:34] bashca, need to be patient there. [09:35] msian_tux_lover: there have been a couple hundred -- are you sure you want to read all that? [09:35] ok [09:36] bashca, whats the problem, think I missed it [09:36] sn9, need to know what have I been updating and why.....I always just apt-get upgrade and dun bother to see why [09:36] can anyone tell me how i get mozilla-mplayer to buffer the whole video before it plays and make it so i can save it to my harddrive [09:36] and also I am involved in doing some desktop migration to Ubuntu for some local Govt thingy [09:37] msian_tux_lover: you can read the changes in the update manager as you download -- just click the triangle [09:37] sn9, I need to know what did I update and what bugs it squashed [09:37] anyone else having this problem? Rosegarden only plays sound if jack is topped [09:37] anyone [09:37] Mr_Bad_News: it has a config file somewhere [09:37] which vendor is better, frozentech, on-disk, or osdisc? [09:38] im trying to watch this movie and it wont work [09:38] you can right click sn9 === fdfdfd is now known as Patata [09:38] it only buffers 19% and stops [09:38] it wont let me save it to my hard drive === Patata is now known as Xintor [09:38] GibbaTheHutt, i tried to inject my ipw with patch injection and i follow the steps by removing the old 1 and the new 1 failed how can reinstall the old 1 [09:38] or pause or fast forward [09:39] msian_tux_lover, you can see your updates sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log but it won't tell you why [09:39] have you used the Medibuntu repositories [09:39] Mr_Bad_News: copy the url and wget it [09:39] is there a command option for running an application in a window if its normally run in full screen like quake -w [09:39] i dont want to do that [09:39] i want mozilla-mplayer to buffer and save it [09:39] How do I confirm what compix window decorator I'm using? [09:40] grrml, i hate smart bios programmers. because some "smart" developer thought that resuming from suspend-to-disk can only be achieved from the first harddisk, i cannot resume from s2disk via usb-stick... [09:40] Zeeon, depends on the application, typing --help usually gives a clue [09:40] bashca, not sure, but it may help if you specify specifically what you did, the error, and then what you want to revert to [09:40] does anyone use mozilla-mplayer [09:40] uh-oh [09:40] :< [09:40] Mr_Bad_News: I've got it installed [09:40] i have some good news for you [09:40] i doo [09:41] Mr_Bad_News, about:cache?device=disk in firefox will show you the direct links off all media files in your browser's cache [09:41] GibbaTheHutt, i want to install intel wireless 2200 on hardy [09:41] ikonia, how do i make it so it will buffer the whole video and let me save it to hard drive [09:41] Mr_Bad_News: I don't know if you can save it to the hard disk, normally you right click on a link and do "save as" [09:41] anyone know how to get a Intel AC'97 modem controller to go ? [09:41] set buffer to 100% [09:41] and use 'save to disk' [09:41] bashca: it's already there, but without injection [09:41] yes i know [09:41] right click on when it's playing a ideo Mr_Bad_News [09:41] i've had it before [09:42] i dont know how i configured it though [09:42] neil_d: you need sl-modem-daemon [09:42] heya.. could anyone help me setting up gamma on an ati card? so far the only think that works is the slider in catalyst control center, but I need a more accurate solution (the slider can only move 5%) [09:42] sn9, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26617/ [09:42] I tried to put a gamma entry in xorg.conf but that didn't seem to work [09:43] GibbaTheHutt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26617/ [09:43] anto9us: no use it just initializes the app. [09:43] what command can i use to view all the browsed sites [09:43] Mr_Bad_News, right clicking a video gives the option to configure as I recall [09:43] yes i know [09:43] is there anyone here who knows what they're talking about [09:44] im not asking how i get to the configure panel [09:44] im asking how to configure it so it will buffer the whole video and let me save it [09:44] Zeeon, you should consult the documentation for that app, it will be specific to it [09:44] hello [09:44] Mr_Bad_News: it's not supposed to do that, so no [09:44] Mr_Bad_News, the file is in your browser cache [09:44] right now it only buffers 11 or 19% and when i try to save it it only saves the link [09:44] i am looking for an indian ict chat, does anyone know a good irc server for this? [09:45] !In [09:45] #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [09:45] Mr_Bad_News, perhaps you can look at the many FF etnsions [09:45] sn9, i don't wont injection any more i just want the old 1 [09:45] *extensions [09:45] anto9us: yeah, i would do that but i have no idea as to where i can find it...(Americas Army) [09:45] GibbaTheHutt, u got the link [09:45] if you dont have anything useful relevant to the question i asked please dont respond [09:45] heya.. could anyone help me setting up gamma on an ati card? so far the only think that works is the slider in catalyst control center, but I need a more accurate solution (the slider can only move 5%) <- anyone?

I have rules set up to sort my e-mail as it comes in [10:02] i got a boot problem [10:02] ikonia: im just screwed now eh? [10:02] i have vista and ubuntu and when i restart the system and choose ubuntu sometimes i got this error: http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/7550/1000634vk8.jpg [10:02] how can i fix it [10:02] jeeves__: set your rules to put all mail there, and move it when you read it [10:02] http://www.urbanterror.net/page.php?6 [10:02] shady: yup, you've used the worst hardware solution, with the worst disk layout, and the wrong partitioning tool. [10:02] ikonia, do you know what command I need to resize my root partition off of some allready previsioned NTFS space? [10:03] sn9, that's a pain in the a$$ [10:03] jeeves__: gparted is the best tool, but even thats not without risk [10:03] oops wrong link ... sorry back to my executable problem ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/26621/ [10:03] ikonia: great, this is what some ld me to do last night lolpeople in here t [10:03] shady: I find that hard to believe === backslash7 is now known as backslash7_ [10:04] ikonia:...err some people told me to do [10:04] jeeves__: you could also just keep only unreads in your inbox, like most people [10:04] does ubuntu install the partiton if I select a seperate home? === backslash7_ is now known as backslash7 [10:04] I have a seperate home, and using a different distro (pardus) [10:04] it's kde-based [10:04] shady: no, I'm looking at the logs, unbuni told you not to do it [10:04] ikonia, is what I want to do simple? I don't want to kill my M$ partition, I just need some more space on this linux root [10:04] sorry to be a bug, again, may I know where can I refer to the list updates issued so far for 8.04? [10:04] sn9, naaa, I like outlook's "unread" feature. that way, everything is sorted, and I don't spend 20 minutes moving crap around [10:05] I want to install ubuntu and have a seperate partition [10:05] ikonia, i must have missed that part...i forget his name but there was another that gave me that link and suggested that [10:05] jeeves__: (you can call it MS - you don't have to slate microsoft to be cool) [10:05] Hailsematary, edit your /etc/fstab to point to /home then [10:05] jeeves__: oh, you can sort by unread-status === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [10:05] geom: yes I plan to do like that but [10:05] shady: I've just read the link, people told you not to do it, you where given that link because you inisited thats what you wanted to do [10:05] shady: thats what the logs show [10:05] my point is about the .vlc etc files [10:05] I mean program configs [10:06] sn9, I have them throughout differen't folders, so I didn't know if it'd be easy to have a pre-defined search that only shows unread ones [10:06] jeeves__: gparted will resize it, very simple, but again, there is a risk [10:06] Hailsematary, You dont even need /home to install ubuntu or any other distro for that matter [10:06] jeeves__: view, current view, define views, new [10:06] ikonia:interpretation is in the eye i guess.. [10:06] aslong as you have / [10:06] ikonia, I'm just too lazy to type ou microsoft, and I think that M$ shows their true intent [10:06] shady: no - it's quite clear, you where told not to do it [10:07] geom: yes I know the system is going to be installed on / but I have .mozilla, .thunderbird folders at my seperate home partition [10:07] jeeves__: M$ is not cool, and a bit childish to be honest [10:07] msian_tux_lover, are you looking for someting like http://www.ubuntu.com/usn? [10:07] I mean do they malfunction when I carry my home? [10:07] jeeves__: view->current view->define views->new [10:07] ikonia, ok, once gparted is launched, how do I go about resizing it? [10:07] !gparted | jeeves__ [10:07] jeeves__: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [10:07] ikonia: well im sorry but i must have misunderstood, what I got what that this is what I was told to try, and I dont need to be reminded again of what the logs say [10:08] Iggie, seems like it, thanks a lot [10:08] np [10:08] shady: then don't try to pretend someone told you to do it, people advised you clearly not to do it, you said you still wanted to so was given the link, but don't blame "someone told me to do it" for your insistance to do it [10:09] jeeves__: you can define a folder sorting style with view->current view->define views->new [10:09] sn9, thanks. is there a way to just add this to the seach field @ the bottom? [10:10] Hello, I'm trying out the new (svn) NetworkManager applet, i made an adsl connection, but it's asking for the password each time I connect, I don't see a "save password" feature, any idea? [10:10] jeeves__: search field? [10:10] Xor: contact the maintainer, ubuntu does not maintina newtowk manager [10:10] ikonia:sigh omg im not "pretending" anything, this is my memory and understanding. And you have the all knowing logs. I came seeking help not outright beratement [10:10] ikonia, I understand that, I just thought maybe someone here knows a solution :) [10:10] sn9, in outlook, there is a feature to just click on that will show only the unread without a bunch of hoops to jump through [10:11] for a ln -s is it ln -s /path/to/exec /usr/bin or ln -s /usr/bin /path/to/exec? [10:11] Hi there, I was wondering if there is any way to get my Eyetoy working in Ubuntu 8.04? [10:11] shady: I'm not berating you, but making statments like "someone told me to do it" is not fair on the multiple people that advised you not to do it, [10:11] jeeves__: if you have a view already defined that sorts by unread-status, just choose it [10:11] shady: the advice to fix it is - your out of luck I'm afriad, your using the wrong hardware technology, the wrong disk layout, and you've used a tool to resize that can't actually do resizes [10:11] How can I copy /home/backslash/test.txt to /home/backslash/new/text.txt without having to type the filename again? === sean is now known as Guest10060 [10:12] sn9, thanks again. I'm going to try fighting with gparted now. [10:12] cp /home/backslash/test.txt /home/backslash/new/ [10:12] Luci, behold the might of Google: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272328 [10:12] jeeves__: the risk is small, so don't fret too much, but it's unfair to not say "there is a risk" [10:13] jeeves__: don't use gparted until you turn off swap [10:13] Oh merciful Iggie, thank you ever so much! [10:13] got it [10:13] Luci: Well, the information may be outdated, so don't thank me yet :) [10:13] Xor: it will save in your keyring automagically [10:13] ikonia: ok then, i feared this may be my only option anyway, so, can you advise me of the best way to start clean? should i use the 2 drives seperately for each OS? or partition them both and put the OS's on one drive and use the other drive for their respective storage areas? [10:14] Iggie: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 10:13:48 ERROR 404: Not Found. [10:14] ikonia, I have my windows partition @ the start of the disk, followed by my swap, then my root. How can I move the chunk of space that I just sliced off of the window parition? The swap is in the way? Can I just expand the swap over the new 2Gb partition I made, then resize the swap to move the 2Gb to the end, and then reabsorbe the 2Gb into my root? [10:14] sn9, a small window is popping up each time i connect, asking for the password [10:14] Iggie: I guess you can read the future :( [10:14] sn9, how do I turn off the swap? [10:14] hello [10:14] shady: my first tip - don't use fakeraid, use the 2 disks seperatly as you don't have a real raid card, and your not using one OS so can't use software raid [10:14] shady: why are you using raid in the first place? [10:14] swapoff /dev/ [10:14] shady: second tip - put windows on your first drive and install windows first [10:15] Xor: system -> prefs -> encryption and keyrings [10:15] does xubuntu 8.04 its exactly the same thing as ubuntu 8.04 but using xfce? [10:15] jeeves__: sudo swapoff -a [10:15] shady: keep it as simple as possible [10:15] jeeves__: type that when booted from cd [10:15] befr0d, ok, I thought I needed a swap space. and will it turn it back on (or does it move it to the new space I make later?) [10:15] if is that then... i can make ubuntu a xubuntu just installing xfce? [10:15] slart: this was an XP only system put in Raid 0 to begin with [10:15] or whats the difference? [10:15] sn9, can I do this without booting from a CD? [10:15] akatsuki: almost =) the difference is very small.. some tools differ between them.. ubuntu uses gedit for example.. xubuntu uses mousepad (another text editor) [10:16] are you bored? become a member to http://www.knoldictionary.org/member/ it takes 20 seconds [10:16] are you bored? become a member to http://www.knoldictionary.org/member/ it takes 20 seconds [10:16] are you bored? become a member to http://www.knoldictionary.org/member/ it takes 20 seconds [10:16] sheri: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:16] jeeves__: you cannot use gparted without booting from cd [10:16] are you bored? become a member to http://www.knoldictionary.org/member/ it takes 20 seconds [10:16] sn9, well, that's not going to help me. I don't have any blank disks here. [10:16] can someone kill sheri please? [10:16] shady: well.. I would go with separate disks then.. raid 0 with fakeraid won't give you any speed increase anyways.. might as well not do it [10:16] sn9, What to do there ? bear with me, the password im being asked to put is my adsl connection password [10:16] what is knol? http://www.knoldictionary.org/member/ [10:17] hi [10:17] ikonia, thanks. [10:17] sorry I was slow [10:17] hi all [10:17] Xor: networkmanager will never ask you for your adsl account password [10:18] sn9, can it be made into a boot up to resize things? or do I have to scrounge a disk from somewhere?

The diriver acerhk bangs hardware directly."? [10:19] simon_: A more specific description would be helpful [10:19] the package manager wont start [10:20] I don't have any blank disks here (well, I have dual layer DVDs, but I'm not wasting them) [10:20] ikonia: can you point me to a guide for partitioning an XP drive for performance or is it not even noticible enough to bother with seperating the system files from storage? [10:20] when i try to open it the application flashes up and then disappears [10:20] shady: I did the same thing with a computer of mine many years ago.. raid 0 with on board raid.. then the motherboard died... I've still got the drives in a box.. when I become a millionaire I'll send them to norway to get my files back =) [10:20] shady: don't bother [10:20] Does anybody know how to get my Eyetoy working?

[10:33] simon_: yes, build-essential [10:33] plenty of thigs [10:33] simon_: did you compile anything from source [10:33] i installed vmware [10:34] simon_: it looks like you've some how managed to like some of the libraries the package manager wants to use to non-existant libraries in /usr/local [10:34] simon_: I can't quite see how you've done that though [10:34] ar [10:34] simon_: did you use the .deb file download of vmware? [10:34] i dont think so [10:34] simon_: well, you should have [10:34] it was a .gz [10:34] :( [10:35] if that means anything [10:35] simon_: what else did you do "make install" on [10:35] gcc [10:35] in firefox, opening each page results in 3-4 secs of 'looking up domain.com' [10:35] as vmware needed it [10:35] simon_: ok - now we are getting some where [10:35] cool [10:35] anyone here has an iphone working on ubuntu [10:35] simon_: vmware did not need you to compile gcc [10:35] ah [10:36] simon_: well, it looks like you've messed up your libraries pretty good. The quickest and easiest way to resolve this is to re-install ubuntu and get help before messing up your system, we can help you do the things you want properly [10:36] kidbuntu: ubuntu on an iphone would be more up my alley than an iphone on ubuntu... [10:36] cool [10:36] ill do that [10:37] and ill come back and ask for help [10:37] simon_: if you tell us what you want to do on your clean system we can help and explain what we are doing and why [10:37] sn9: thats quite the opposite isnt it [10:37] Hi...

[10:40] sn9, is there any other way (other than finding a disk) to be able to resize things? [10:40] UbuntuNooB: you can use things like squid, iptables, or dirty hacks like the hostname in your hostfile and point it to 127.0.0.1 [10:40] Delano: xmms2 is, according to the docs, supposed to come with a small client also.. xmms2-et .. hmm [10:40] hi all, i am trying to run a https on webserver , any idea how to forge [10:41] do i need to install those? [10:41] gabunga: apache2 and apache-ssl packages - thats all you need [10:41] jeeves__: you cannot resize anything on the disk you are booted from -- you gotta boot from SOMETHING else [10:41] hey, zennybody run both GNOME and KDE here?

[10:42] sorry .. and now executables wont open [10:42] gabunga: ok [10:42] but how to configure [10:42] at all [10:42] CoolFox: not at the same time on the same machine, no [10:42] got a little problem, all the KDE apps are clogging up my "other" panel's menu, how can i organize all the stuff.

[10:43] UbuntuNooB: depends how you want to block it [10:43] gabunga: ok - have you configured the ssl parameters ? [10:43] Delano: you did the sudo apt-get install xmms2 ? [10:43] where to configure [10:43] it´s my firs time [10:43] alacart?? [10:44] wat does that do?

[10:44] ikonia: for example i want to block http://www.friendster.com, what do i need to do? [10:44] brrrrrradical: I asked you to do something [10:44] brrrrrradical, even this IRC client? [10:44] can you open another session of the client? [10:44] Slart: it tells me it's already installed [10:44] i did it wols [10:44] and i pmed u [10:45] hello [10:45] Delano: try using the --reinstall switch [10:45] no you did not. you only did half [10:45] can I run a script and not have it exit when I logout? [10:45] brrrrrradical: and PMing was your 2nd mistake [10:45] gabunga: /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf [10:45] jisatsu: screen or nohup [10:45] 2nd mistake? [10:45] what was my first [10:45] ahh ok let me check :-) [10:45] wols: thanks, I'll look into it [10:45] brrrrrradical: first was not doing what I asked you [10:45] UbuntuNooB: put www.friendstart.com in your /etc/host file and map it to 127.0.0.1 [10:45] hello! could someone tell me what a "system user" is in adduser --system? I coldn't find any docs on it. [10:45] thanks for first [10:45] "invalid operation", Slart [10:45] nagyv: one that is in /etc/passwd and that logs in usually [10:45] i did what u asked [10:46] i sent the link [10:46] Delano: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xmms2 [10:46] ikonia: i c.. i'll test it.. brb [10:46] and u didnt answer [10:46] please dont get snappy [10:46] wols: that would be a normal user, isn't it? [10:46] brrrrrradical: stop that and reread waht I asked. ALL of it. until then: please stop talking to me or I have to ignore you [10:46] why do i get syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' when typing this ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/iphone_identity.pub root@ [10:46] ikonia: there's gotta be an easier way [10:46] nagyv: yes [10:46] ikonia: one more thing, how do i do that? :) [10:46] sn9: easier than what ? [10:46] UbuntuNooB: open /etc/hosts with a text editor [10:46] ikonia: than /etc/hosts [10:47] sn9: no. it's about the easiest way possible [10:47] sn9: and pretty effective [10:47] sn9: you can install iptables, proxy software, but 1 line in 1 file is pretty much the easiest thing to do [10:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26621/ [10:47] wols: ick -- kubuntu does it all graphically [10:47] why do i get syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' when typing this ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/iphone_identity.pub root@ [10:47] ikonia: k its open. next? [10:47] wols: but that's strange, as by default --system won't add a group, he won't get a group and its shell will be /bin/false. Is it really the normal user? [10:47] UbuntuNooB: put in the entry for your website and then point it at 127.0.0.1 [10:47] hello [10:48] is this what u wanted wols ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/26621/ [10:48] nagyv: then it's a user which does system work. like daemons. daemons sometimes run udner a certain user but have no login shell [10:48] #sx [10:48] wols: thanks [10:48] hi [10:48] brrrrrradical: it's half of what I wanted. one more time addressing me and it's /ignore === macsim`work is now known as macsim [10:49] ikonia: do i need to reboot the machine? btw i put the entry like this 127.0.0.1 http://friendster.com [10:50] UbuntuNooB: remove http [10:50] UbuntuNooB: you don't need to reboot [10:50] UbuntuNooB: remove http:// in fact [10:50] hallo [10:50] cher, what is up, dude [10:51] ls -l shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26621/ ... running it shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26629/ [10:51] I can't get flash to work with Mozilla firefox. [10:52] gluonman: what does it do instead of working? [10:52] sn9, umm... not work [10:52] !doesntwork [10:52] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [10:52] sn9, I can't watch youtube videos, for instance. [10:53] ikonia: one more question for ya [10:53] ikonia: i can still access friendster? look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/26631/ [10:53] hmmmm [10:53] shady: shoot [10:53] UbuntuNooB: you still need www === macsim is now known as macsim`work [10:53] I'm trying to access a usb stick using a 3rd party program === macsim`work is now known as macsim [10:53] backslash7: which program [10:53] but it always says "CANNOT OPEN" [10:53] UbuntuNooB: try typing just friendster.com in firefox [10:53] ikonia: i am in my bios now now and changing my SATA settings from RAID...should i change it to IDE or AHCI? [10:53] wols ls -l shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26621/ ... running it shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26629/ [10:54] shady: ide is fine [10:54] shady: keep it simple [10:54] ikonia: GRUB4DOS [10:54] ikonia: ty [10:54] gluonman: did you close all firefox windows after installing flash? [10:54] Also fdisk /dev/sdd says CANNOT OPEN [10:54] brrrrrradical: is this urban terror an installer file? [10:54] backslash7: what device file are you using [10:54] backslash7: sudo? [10:54] ikonia: /dev/sdd [10:54] umm can i pm u wols? [10:54] yes [10:54] backslash7: and is /dev/sdd there ? [10:54] sn9, yes. I downloaded the tar.gz file from adobe's website and extracted the installer and then ran it in terminal and then opened firefox and youtube still doesn't display videos. [10:55] ikonia: ahci is better btw [10:55] Slart: i can still access friendster.com [10:55] ikonia: It was mounted before, I unmounted it and now it says cannot open [10:55] I can even mount it again [10:55] gluonman: don't go to adobe's website [10:55] fdisk says the same [10:55] sn9, I've been through this process before. As soon as I upgraded to 8.04 it seems my old flash stopped working. [10:55] backslash7: unplug it and plug it back in [10:55] sn9, what should I do alternatively? [10:55] hi,after adding a default gateway ,the entry isnt permanent,changes after a reboot ,how to make it permanent [10:55] UbuntuNooB: hmm.. that's odd [10:55] ikonia: and unmount after plugging in again ? [10:55] backslash7: or to be blunt - just use grub [10:55] urban terror is not an installer file [10:56] backslash7: why do you want to unmount it ? [10:56] it runs the actual game [10:56] gluonman: just install the package flashplugin-nonfree [10:56] ikonia: I thought i cannot modify a mounted device [10:56] Just for safety [10:56] sn9, I did. [10:56] sn9, not quite working. [10:56] backslash7: depends if your just writing to the boot sector [10:56] UbuntuNooB: let me try it here on my machine.. [10:56] ikonia: So it can be mounted and I can do stuff with it? [10:56] backslash7: depends on what stuff [10:56] ikonia: Yes to the MBR [10:56] That's why [10:56] gluonman: did you do "about:plugins" ? [10:56] backslash7: your not acessing the file system - so the device file should still be usable [10:57] okay [10:57] Ill try [10:57] UbuntuNooB: Check how you computer perform name lookup. [10:57] sn9, I'm not familiar with that. [10:57] backslash7: but then I don't see why your making it hard on your self, or obviously in linux if your using /dev/sdd - so why not just use grub [10:57] gluonman: in firefox's url bar [10:57] wols: urban terror is not an installer, it simply runs the game [10:57] anyone know of a good program that will allow me to view animated .gifs? [10:57] sn9, let me check that out. [10:57] UbuntuNooB: it works here.. no typos? [10:57] animatedgif: firefox [10:57] and generally a good image viewer ? [10:58] sn9: uh hunh. [10:58] it first lookup to your dns server, than change entry at your host name will not affect anything. [10:58] UbuntuNooB: you remember to save the file and so on? [10:58] ikonia: I replugged it and the program is still saying "Error: Cannot open file for read/write access." (/dev/sdc now it's mounted there) [10:58] waht's a good IDE for ubuntu that supports ruby and erlang?? [10:58] how do i check my ip address of my iphone [10:58] backslash7: maybe an issue with grub4dos, why are you not using grub ? [10:58] kidbuntu: look in the iphone settings [10:58] ikonia: It's for a usb stick [10:58] backslash7: so ? [10:58] I need grub4dos don't worrk im sure [10:59] banisterfiend: maybe eclispse, maybe anjuta [10:59] worry* [10:59] ikonia: can you direct me. i'm a complete noob [10:59] backslash7: nah, you can install grub onto a usb stick [10:59] yes [10:59] is linuxmint better than ubuntu? [10:59] kidbuntu: open your iphone manual [10:59] but I need the grub4do [10:59] d [10:59] s [10:59] backslash7: why ? [10:59] UbuntuNooB: oh.. and you might want to press ctrl+refresh if you have the site open.. [10:59] I just do ^^ [10:59] banisterfiend: matter of opinion, try it [10:59] backslash7: why though ? [10:59] sn9, I'm looking at the information. It just mentions gnash, etc. which are things I've already installed. No further directions. [10:59] gluonman: uninstall gnash [11:00] ikonia, hi,after adding a default gateway ,the entry isnt permanent,changes after a reboot ,how to make it permanent [11:00] brrrrrradical: it must be cause the error looks like it's a script [11:00] ikonia: I'm just sticking to tutorials since I had trouble doing this by myself [11:00] arvind_khadri: are you using dhcp ? [11:00] sn9, alright. [11:00] brrrrrradical: head [11:00] ikonia: You would say I can use just grub ? [11:00] ikonia, yup... [11:00] backslash7: contact the guy who wrote the turorial though [11:00] brrrrrradical: or better yet: "file " [11:00] bazhang, 1 more Q please how can get default source list [11:00] *************waht's a good IDE for ubuntu that supports ruby and erlang??**************** [11:00] ikonia: Can I chainload NTLDRs out of grub ? [11:00] arvind_khadri: I assume your adding the gateway with route add [11:00] sure huh [11:00] backslash7: yes you can [11:00] of course [11:00] wasnt thinking omg [11:00] ikonia, yah :) [11:00] backslash7: no idea, I'd imagine so [11:01] ikonia: chainloader +1 like ubuntu does it automatically when installing it [11:01] arvind_khadri: ok - the most probable cause is either 1.) your dhcpd server isn't offering up a gateway, 2.) your client is not requesting one [11:01] wols: yes, [11:01] bazhang, i followed this link http://www.debuntu.org/2006/03/27/9-how-to-ipw2200-getting-intel-pro-wireless-2200-bg-to-work-on-debian-ubuntu but when searching the file on source lits i can't find it ?? [11:01] banisterfiend: have you looked at eclipse or anjuta [11:01] banisterfiend: extremely annoying.. we don't want a attention competition here... just ask your question like the rest of the people here manage to do [11:01] ? [11:01] How can I just install the GRUB-MBR to a usb stick ? [11:01] I don't wanna loose data and formats [11:01] sn9, I uninstalled it. [11:01] ikonia, ok any way to work it around other than adding it everytime?? [11:01] hi [11:02] tapas: hello [11:02] gluonman: try youtube now [11:02] ikonia [11:02] i want to install a ubuntu chroot on a debian system [11:02] sn9, alright. [11:02] i was thinking of using debootstrap [11:02] but it seems debootstrap needs a scripüt per suite [11:02] arvind_khadri: well what is your dhcp server [11:02] bashca: that's a evry outdated tutorial. ipw2200 is part of the mainline kernel now and has been for a long term [11:02] gabunga: yes?

[11:10] tristano: which video driver? [11:10] nvidia [11:11] brrrrrradical: thenn I dunno. it sounds like urbanterror error. ie a game file is wrong/corrup. not the executable [11:11] tristano: use nvidia-settings [11:11] tristano: pastebin your Xorg.0.log or change it via xrandr [11:11] sn9, my screen resolution is 1440x900 === epifanio__ is now known as epifanio [11:11] wols this error (executable not opening) is happening with urbanterror, openarena and alienarena [11:11] that i know of [11:12] brrrrrradical: is wine installed?

[11:15] simoo: ubuntu normally puts it's entries at the top, however if you put yours at the top it should alter second/thrid/fouth lines [11:15] tristano: you are not using the nvidia driver [11:16] sn9, whaaaaaaaat? [11:16] wols: you there..? [11:16] When i have the ubuntu dvd in the drive, the first time i open gedit it fires up the dvd drive. any ideas why?

Is there anyway i can add gksu to the front of the link? [11:17] sn9: also ... in the folder for UrbanTerror there is an exe ... which will run fine over wine... which means it has to be a problem with the native exec and not the game [11:17] the wubi uninstaller didn't clean up the boot manager [11:17] hey do you guys think VLC is better then TOTEM? [11:17] i had to remove ubuntu with bcdedit [11:18] wols:i dont have xp cd ..hence can i fix it from ubuntu itself?

[13:24] holyguyver: sudo lshw [13:24] ya because I checked and had to remove a series of hereos the previous day [13:24] which was 4.2 [13:24] negge I am talking about one that looks something lgsn or something & it lists all of your hardware like video card, audio card & stuff. [13:25] so how could that have ever fitted onto 3.5 [13:25] pici it should need a sudo [13:25] shouldn't [13:25] holyguyver: I've never used that command so I don't know [13:25] holyguyver: it might, and even suggests that you run it with sudo [13:26] pici it shouldn't need a sudo if all it does is list something [13:26] simo - what filesystem are you running /home on and is it a separate partition? [13:27] pici & just tired it & that is not the camand I was asking about. [13:27] holyguyver: it pulls a lot of information from /proc and /sys that your user might not have access to.

[13:29] simotempler: shouldn't be but will reiterate my earlier: what filesystem are you running /home on and is it a separate partition? [13:30] negge: I was told Banshee from Medibuntu was quite good. :) Any other suggestions are welcome too though. ;) Never had this repository before. [13:30] Shoopuf I tried banshee, but I prefer Rythmabox [13:31] holyguyver: K i'll try both...

[13:55] Dr_willis: thanks, seems priceless [13:56] whatisneveritis, google is our friend. :) [13:56] not even mp3's [13:56] pici:: i've got vlc and some video players but still my players hang [13:56] aslamc try playing ogg files [13:56] the sound works tho [13:56] so its something else... [13:57] aslamc it isn'r supposed to play mp3s out of the box [13:57] aslamc: Have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package so that you can play mp3 files? [13:57] patch did not solve the problem but now i know how to use patch [13:57] i think all the plugins are installed... well it was playing before after i installed all the codecs but now its not but sound is working [13:57] thanks a lot [13:57] pici yes i installed that [13:58] is there a way to force uninstall? [13:58] MXITA yes you can completely remove something from synaptic [13:58] hateball: thanks [13:58] Ok, I'll try that [13:58] new user::: iam not able to play videos in my ubuntu 8.04 system...help! [13:59] mahesh, what kind of videos? [13:59] mahesh: video's or DVD's? [13:59] Mahesh what type of video files are you trying to play? [13:59] hi === Synx_hm_ is now known as Synx_hm [13:59] djones: all type of videos [13:59] !codecs [13:59] 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 [13:59] can you watch youtube videos? [13:59] mxiia: all type of videos [13:59] Mahesh have you tried playing ogg or ogm videos? [14:00] holyguyver: nope! [14:00] is it a media player problem? or are online videos the same? [14:00] mahesh try it [14:00] holyguyver: but i wanto play vob, mpeg files....! [14:01] what media player are you using? [14:01] mahesh: Have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package ? [14:01] mahesh then listen to ubottu & look into codecs [14:01] seriously people don't bother with totem [14:01] GNOME MPlayer works fine for me. [14:02] pici:: yup [14:02] or use vlc. should play most stuff out of the box [14:02] mahesh or you could just cut out the middleman & use LinuxMint as your OS instead of Ubuntu, it comes with all of the codecs preinstalled & activated. [14:02] !mint [14:02] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [14:02] i have a windows .exe file i'd like to make a shortcut of on the desktop. how do i do this? [14:02] do you have wine installed fudus5 ? [14:02] fudus5, use wine and just put the file [14:02] on the desktop [14:03] clicking the .exe directly works fine, but i want to make a shortcut on the desktop [14:03] anyone good with awk? because i have a string and i want only a specific part of it (position of it unknown) extracted. maybe sed can do that as well. to be more specific: i want to parse cat /proc/cmdline but i only need the root=/dev/sdxy part (or even better the device sdxy would do). so how can i extract that. [14:03] alright fudus5 [14:03] fudu make a symbolic link [14:03] so i don't need to go to containing file with all the .dlls and stuff [14:03] you can just make a regular shortcut pointing towards the .exe as you would a normal file/program fudus5 [14:03] cd into your desktop [14:03] ln /target/to/exe/file -s [14:03] pici: anything else it could be [14:04] what about all the .dlls though? [14:04] mahesh , yes pici is right this room cannot offer support for LinuxMint, but I can offer support to you :p [14:04] well try that, if it doesn't work, write a small sh script which cds into the directory, and runs the exe from that directory [14:04] holyguyver: Not in this channel though. [14:05] Pici of course not, but I can lead him to the right channel on the right server :-p [14:05] aslamc: Does the file play, but just no sound comes out? [14:05] Details: Failed to execute child process "/home/ubuntu/Desktop/zmud/Zmud.exe" (Permission denied) [14:05] Hi, how can i check is some service running now? For example cron? [14:05] sudo it? [14:05] NEVER SUDO WINE [14:05] ah [14:05] chmod 775 Zmus.exe [14:05] no the file doesnt play either pici [14:05] learn something new everyday [14:05] :-) [14:05] holyguyver: wat support? [14:05] whats the reason nullmind ? [14:05] oh i added wine to beginning [14:05] Hi; i can t received on amule but i m on high ID !! [14:05] workee now [14:06] Pici if someone would prefer a different distro I see no problem in recamending one that they might like more. [14:06] fudus5: you need a small script to run: wine /path/to/zmud.exe [14:06] hlfshell: wine uses the internal process model of linux, so permissions are just as important [14:06] fudus5: And just run that with a desktop launcher [14:06] ah. thanks for the info nullmind [14:06] mahesh this is a support channel for Ubuntu, I suggested for you a different distro, which is of course supported in it's own channel. [14:06] i just put wine /path/ and it worked :P [14:06] fudus5, there are plety of native MUD clients that you can run [14:06] Is there anything you can download to get transparency for ALL windows [14:06] !mud [14:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about mud [14:07] Some things like the Terminal have it but not everything [14:07] it worked, end of problem now ;) [14:07] Dr_willis: Playing an online Multi-User Dungeon? :P [14:07] Xavura, compiz has that feature for everything. thats enableable. [14:07] xavura, compiz [14:07] Xavura: you can modify compiz's settings for opacity, but #compiz-fusion would be the right place to speicifcally ask about that [14:07] Installed ubuntu using the alternate CD. Setup 3 partitions. sda1 & sdb1 as raid, sda2 & sdb2 as swap and sda3 & sdb3 as raid. I then put /boot as an ext3 fs on md0 and then / as a xfs fs on md1. After rebooting, I get a grub error at stage 1.5, error 17 [14:07] Oooh [14:07] is it possible to get aero glass like effect on the border? [14:07] I have compiz fusion [14:07] holyguyver: ok [14:07] plain transparency is boring [14:07] fudus5: you can use emerald to theme that maybe [14:07] How do I enable it or should I ask in #compiz-fusion [14:08] How can i check is some service running now via console? For example cron? [14:08] transparency that is [14:08] fudus5, compiz and the emerald themes thing - has Plenty of look alike aero themes [14:08] don't know how to install themes so :P [14:08] hi guys! [14:08] fudus5: in hardy you can just install the emerald using Add/Remove [14:08] hi trakinas [14:08] need help with svn+ssh/webdav... [14:08] i tried to install once and i got a tarball full of stuff i didn't know what to do with [14:08] pici: out of ideas huh! i feel the same.... this is so wierd... never seen anything like this happening [14:08] i simply cannot access the svn through windows. === nyko is now known as Nyko [14:09] and since the mainly development here at the company is made on it... [14:09] ola [14:09] aslamc: do you have access to the files? [14:09] ola [14:09] it can be accessed from linux though [14:09] mahesh do to patent issues ubuntu chooses to not support mp3, mpeg, & other video & audio formats out of the box, however someone can if they know how easily get Ubuntu to support them. If you would prefer a linux distro that has all of that stuff turned on automaticly there are lots of distros that have that LinuxMint is one of them, it is Ubuntu but with all of that stuff automaticly turned on, plus a lot of other helpful improvements. [14:09] fudus5: use Applications->System->Synaptic Package Manager to install emerald (thats the name of the package) [14:09] como esta?

[14:11] hello can anyone help me? [14:11] scales138: on the command line? [14:11] trakinas: If you can access it from a linux client, but not a windows client, then it sounds like a svn configuration issue. [14:11] tar -xvf ..... [14:11] Fuck Bush , fuck Sarkosy and fuck OMC and FMI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [14:11] meowskisbane: no [14:11] yeah sorry [14:11] what do you need help with meowskisbane ? [14:11] Peace !! [14:11] meowskisbane: (jk )just ask [14:11] mahesh I cannot tell you much more in here as the others will kill me, but if you are interested just go look it up on yahoo or google.

[14:12] Pici: all right! :] [14:12] trakinas: tar -xvf backup.tar will extract a file, but i want to extract it to a specific folder [14:12] aslamc: I'm not sure what it is then... Just be patient and ask again. perhaps someone else knows. [14:12] ask the question and we'll see what we can do meowskisbane [14:12] worse case scenario meowskisbane is i point you to where to get help [14:12] scales138: scales138 tar --help [14:13] or man tar. [14:13] How can i check is some service running now via console? For example cron? [14:13] hlfshell: if we help him get drugs we could be arrested in the United States [14:13] Hmm?

I have been chatting in that channel very often, but since about a week, there is NOBODY in this channel any more... [14:14] Hmm? [14:14] might be a firefox issue meowskisbane [14:14] hlfshell: ff3 too in ubuntu hardy [14:14] meowskisbane: they probably has an issue with linux... try with epiphany [14:14] ok thanks trakinas [14:14] Snowball: You might be better asking that in #ubuntu-de [14:14] Hmm? [14:14] meowskisbane: you are welcome. if the issue persist, contact them and protest. [14:14] AbdulAkbarr: cron's init script doesnt seem to support the status argument, but if its listed in ps aux, or if pidof cron returns a number, then its running. Normally I'd check /etc/init.d/$service status [14:14] meowskisbane - also, if that doesnt work, go into the #firefox channel, as it might be a problem with firefox remembering your login name (cookies, temp files, etc) [14:14] hello, i have ubuntu hardy heron , i am in KDE, how do i change my screen resoultion form kde (a gui tool to change resolution?)

It doesn't mean they ARE stupid. big distinction [14:28] BubbleWrap: are you even on ubuntu? [14:28] gnu_d: lspci [14:28] wols: Then don't call them stupid. [14:28] tnx hlfshell! [14:28] syscode: try pointing your webpage to 192.168.1.1 [14:29] BubbleWrap: if you're so noob how did you manage to activate the root account? [14:29] wols, I'm reading the list. [14:29] cause entering password is annoying [14:29] syscode: browser** not webpage [14:29] nixnoob: huh [14:29] nixnoob: yes [14:29] Pici: I didn't [14:29] much better to run as root so you can isntall without prompts! [14:29] djhash - tried that one - it didnt come up [14:29] Is there some sort of known issue with transfers via USB on Ubuntu? [14:29] wols, I don't see it. [14:29] JuzzyD: what kind of transfers? [14:29] plus i can save stuff in /etc/ very important [14:29] nixnoob: ubuntu server 8.04 [14:29] anyone? [14:29] BubbleWrap: did you sudo irssi? [14:29] JuzzyD: I transfer files to and from a USB drive and an iPod frequently. No problems ever. [14:29] I seem to be able to find the question asked if I google it, but no answers [14:29] gnu_d: pastebin the output [14:29] syscode: can you ping it? [14:29] sorry col_sanders - idont see it. try joining the nautilus channel [14:29] Larger files, 1gb+ [14:30] nixnoob: no, i apt getted it, apt getted screen, and run screen then irssi [14:30] djhash: i told him to do that but he ignored me [14:30] Im transferring a 700mb file right now, it has 15 minutes to go and is transferring at 320k/s [14:30] hlfshell: will do. tnx anyway :) [14:30] BubbleWrap: is the root account enabled in the server version? [14:30] hlfshell: sorry if i have disturbed you...wierdly, when i went to hardware testing, when the time came for screen test, screen kida flickered, and the resolution was fine! (but I logged out and back had same issue, re-ran hardware testing it was fine )...any idea whats the problem? [14:30] wols, http://rafb.net/p/OLPtNI61.html [14:30] It started at 3mb/s and just got slower and slower and slower [14:31] gnu_d: AC97 99% [14:31] Im so tired. [14:31] syscode: are you still there? [14:31] hummm.. haven't tried that one.. will have to log off here to try pinging... [14:31] wols, now what's the driver ? [14:31] thanks for the advice [14:31] JuzzyD: I'm no expert, but that sounds about right. :P USB transfers are pretty slow, particularly a 700MB file... I notice that the less I touch my computer during the transfer the higher the speed goes. [14:31] next time you log out khaleel5000, save your session? [14:31] will come later, hopefully via ubuntu.. :) [14:31] gnu_d: ac97 [14:31] If I want to get the source for a package, edit the source and then compile/install with my change, can I do it using apt or similar tools? [14:31] What is the difference between "XChat-GNOME IRC Chat" and XChat IRC"? [14:32] try it now khaleel5000 - set your resolution, and when you logout save your session. [14:32] wols, where to get it ? [14:32] syscode: g/l. [14:32] Slart: yes. you get the source with apt-get source [14:32] Slart: you have to enable the source code repo and i think yes [14:32] MXIIA: xchat-gnome is incomplete [14:32] !source | Slart [14:32] Slart: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [14:32] MXIIA: The gnome version is a bit nicer looking, but also hides some more advanced settings from users. [14:32] my Login Window dialog keeps crashing, i go System>Administration>Login Window, then put in my password and the window appears, then immediately closes [14:32] MXIIA: Most people asked say they much prefer regular X-Chat (non-Gnome) [14:32] gnu_d: your ubuntu already comes with it [14:32] thanks djhash [14:32] !alsa [14:32] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [14:32] wols: where would the source end up? or I can specify that? [14:32] What's the easiest way to figure out if I have internet on a ubuntu server? Is there a quick command? [14:32] Shoopuf: i prefer xchat to xchat-gnome [14:32] Slart: in . [14:32] Yea, I am using GNOME now, I will try regular. thanks [14:32] wols, but why it doesn't work, I tried Xubuntu too, no sound too. [14:33] oh nevermind ping works [14:33] Brandon__: ping google.com [14:33] !doesn't work [14:33] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [14:33] anyone in here happen know what off_t is? [14:33] in C? [14:33] hlfshell: try ##c [14:33] will do Pici, thanks [14:34] yeah. So odd. Okay I have internet and I have SSH installed. I've set up like 3 servers now. This is the first time I've had a problem. I can't SSH into the darn thing. Anyone know how to diagnose a problem like this? [14:34] Brandon__: router present? [14:34] Shoopuf, Man, I remember my USB transfers being faster than my net connection in the past. This is ludicrous that I can send stuff through the air in my house at 500k/s but I plug something into the computer to store something on it, and it takes 3 times as long [14:34] hlfshell: it seems a custom defined type you just grep for the definition on the source code [14:34] wols, University network. [14:34] thanks erUSUL [14:34] Brandon__: they might blocj port 22 or all incoming even [14:35] Brandon__: public IP or private? [14:35] Brandon__: port forwarding? [14:35] wols, I've used this to SSH into a server I was building 2 weeks ago [14:35] It was using the same LAN line [14:35] or whatever it's called. [14:35] Brandon__: Is the ssh server installed and running? [14:35] wols: thanks [14:35] sudo netstat -anp |grep 22 [14:36] l ady d newcomer [14:36] wols, tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 7490/sshd [14:36] i have a funny issue if anyone has an idea: [14:37] wols: what does that command do [14:37] Brandon__: Can you ssh to yourself? [14:37] nixnoob: which one? [14:37] Brandon__: From the server to itself rather. [14:37] wols: netstat -anp | grep 22 [14:37] JuzzyD: OK maybe it is a problem then. :P Ask your question again maybe someone will know of possible USB issues... [14:37] i'm using a dell laptop, with monitor attached. i have the screen displayed fine (the same screen on both monitors) [14:37] nixnoob: netstat displays network connections [14:37] but sometimes when i go fullscreen, it only goes fullscreen to the size of the laptop screen [14:37] Pici, yep [14:37] othertimes, it recognizes the entire monitor screen [14:38] i have no idea why :( [14:38] It's odd though. Maybe someone changed something. For some reason my static IP is different. Maybe someone messed with the network cables. [14:39] wols: mine just says unix 3 STREAMING CONNECTED /process/here [14:39] Hrmms, just doing some reading, and full speed 1.1 USB speed should have me transferring at 1.5mb/s [14:39] nixnoob: you are a user [14:39] they exagerrate the speeds by ALOT [14:39] So I'm getting 20% of that, and I have no other USB devices plugged in leeching the bandwidth [14:40] JuzzyD: weird [14:40] It also depends on the version of the devices... Some use USB 1.0, some use 2.0... [14:40] wols: it has to be run using sudo? [14:40] I've plugged USB 2.0 devices into a USB 1.0 hub and lose speed. [14:40] JuzzyD: I regularly transfer files 2GB or larger to and from USB, on a variety of devices [14:40] That's the 1.0 quoted full speed on wiki [14:40] nixnoob: no [14:40] doesn't have to, only sometimes [14:41] my Login Window dialog keeps crashing, i go System>Administration>Login Window, then put in my password and the window appears, then immediately closes [14:41] 2.0 speed is much faster, I know the usb storage device is 2.0, not sure about this old piece of crap laptop though [14:41] so I'm working on the assumption of 1.0 [14:41] <[k0d3]||4[tran]> Hey - I am having some stability and crashing problems with the GNOME desktop that I installed on my ubuntu-server 8.04 installation. I am looking to add a faster and more stable GUI. After research - Xfce seems like what I will be going with. However, does anyone have recommendations for faster and more stable GUIs?

I will look into that === SuperLag_ is now known as SuperLag [14:45] g-day, is there anyone here with the time to help me with a GRUB error 17 problem? I have found out that it has somthing to do with HDD not mounting properly or be invisible cant boot my PC at all, tried F8 select boot device [14:46] error 17 means it can't find its own files [14:46] !grub [14:46] 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 [14:47] Anyone know of a simple way to send a keysequence to X via the bash shell? [14:48] cheers ill have a look threw those sites [14:50] hola [14:51] hola mhardy [14:52] <[k0d3]||4[tran]> PingFloyd_, would you say there is as much support and compatibility with IceWM as there is with Xfce or GNOME? I've been researching it and cannot find out that much about it. [14:52] Is there a BitTorrent client for FireFox 3? [14:52] ? [14:52] MXIIA: Yes, it should be already installed -- called "Transmission" [14:52] MXIIA, have a look on the firefox extensions page [14:52] oh sorry, for firefox (blush) [14:52] MXIIA - i can't say if there is or not for firefox3, but i can recommend Azerus as a bit torrent client in general too [14:53] MXIIA: Opera has a bittorrent client built in if that's what you're after [14:53] Well there is a BitTorrent client for Windows FireFox3, I can't seem to find one for Linux [14:54] MXIIA: what do you mean by "for Firefox"? [14:54] !bittorrent | MXIIA [14:54] MXIIA: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [14:54] MXIIA, have you tried foxtorrent? [14:54] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4844 [14:54] I can't find that for FF3 [14:55] !vmware [14:55] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [14:55] Will the official Ubuntu 8.0.x repo ever release the nVidia 175 series of drivers or to get those do I need to install manually? [14:55] flakrat: manually [14:55] would i realistically be able to run VMWare/other on 2.4GHz/512MB RAM? [14:56] MXIIA, i don't see why you won't just use a normal torrent client ? firefox should open up .torrent files in your torrent client which will go on to donwload files, etc [14:56] KenBW2: Not with 512 RAM methinks [14:56] hateball, thanks [14:56] Yea, I use Transmission, but I don't like the interface of it. [14:56] KenBW2 - I got XP running super smoothly in a VM window on a 2.4 ghz 1 gig ram yesterday using Vbox [14:56] KenBW2: but i think 512 is a bit low RAM wise. You can certainly try it. [14:56] MXIIA, pick a client that you like then :) [14:56] Shoopuf: i know someone who runs Ubuntu on 256MB RAM, so surely 2x265 = 512 [14:57] MXIIA, there are quite a few to choose from [14:57] MXIIA: azureus is available.. or you can run utorrent using wine [14:57] hlfshell: i know someone who runs Ubuntu on 256MB RAM, so surely 2x265 = 512 [14:57] deluge [14:57] Yea, I think I will run uTorrent with wine [14:57] I used that when I used windows. [14:57] ok I think I have done this right I installed the apple2 under synaptic and now was wondering how to start it [14:57] Yah I read that one. It should work KenBW2 - just realize that on only 512 some of the more graphic intensive or processor intensive programs will cause a larger slowdown. [14:57] <_Brun0_> VBox pawns. But a note: VirtualBox from Uubntu repository doesn't work on Uubntu 8.04 hardy heron for me. I had to install it manually. [14:57] Do you need help selecting a VM client or setting it up KenBW2 ? [14:57] hlfshell: ok, thanks [14:58] _Brun0_ - i too love VBox :-) [14:58] hlfshell: well im just toying with the idea atm [14:58] What's the diff between the nvidia restricted drivers that come with ubuntu and the nvidia drivers from theri website? [14:58] KenBW2 - well good luck with it then. IT does work and its really not that hard. [14:58] HELP!guyz! l ( how can i erase mbr of usb stick coz grub's ghost keeps hounting me [14:58] hlfshell: can you recommend a VM client? [14:59] <_Brun0_> KenBW2: VirtualBox [14:59] KenBW2: I forgot to ask, what OS will you be running in the VM? :) I guess that would effect the answer. [14:59] KenBW2 - Virtual Box, OSE (open source edition). IT's completely free and its wizards makes running/modifying the VM a dream [14:59] hlfshell: my policy is Open Source first, proprietary if no good alternative exists [14:59] Flynsarmy, the latter are probably newer versions - or might even be the same, the ones in the repo have been placed in packages so it makes installation, uninstallation, etc easier [14:59] MXIIA: deluge is a hack of a good client. there is another one, but cant remember its name [14:59] Interesting, 3 people said VirtualBox... Better than VMWare? [14:59] KenBMW2 - to install windows on a newly made VM in virtual box takes 2 more minutes then just flat out installing windows :-) [14:59] my ubuntu (hardy) won't let my play two audio streams simultanously :( what can i do about it? [14:59] Shoopuf: Just for if i want to toy with other OSes, like Fedora or Kubuntu [14:59] Ok, I will google deluge. [14:59] !ot [14:59] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:00] Shoopuf - I've recently made the change and have loved it so far. MAybe there are things that I havent seen that would change me back, but so far I would recommend it over VMWar [15:00] !deluge | MXIIA [15:00] MXIIA: deluge is a new Bittorrent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured client to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce - See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information or http://download.deluge-torrent.org/stable/ubuntu/feisty/ for downloading. [15:00] MXIIA: just install it with sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent [15:00] Ok, thank you [15:00] hope that helps KenBW2 :-) [15:00] Sorry for going Off-Topic... KenBW2 if you wanna continue the conversation please move to #ubuntu-offtopic [15:01] knittl: are you using pulseaudio? [15:01] Shoopuf: ok, thanks [15:01] I just installed an XP VM ontop of my ubuntu for my wife who had been complaining that I nuked her windows, but she doesn't even use it. [15:01] Slart: i guess so [15:01] hlfshell: Thanks to you as wll :) [15:01] anytime KenBW2 [15:02] thats a women for you nixnoob [15:02] lol @ nixnoob [15:02] seisen: yea took me a while to figure out how to make it seamless while still having compiz and dual monitors...

[15:14] backslash7: it should automount to your desktop [15:15] backslash7, open a terminal, type 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and then plug in the drive [15:15] backslash7: "tailf /var/log/messages" on terminal then plug the usb stick [15:15] backslash7: you can check the properties there. [15:15] thanks nixnoob and djhash for the advice.. not sirted yet, but feel it might be on the way.. [15:15] backslash7: df -a [15:15] erUSUL, (tail -f) [15:15] th0r: Let's say I cannot replug the device, it's just there, not mounted [15:15] trakinas: see above [15:15] amarok/totem/vlc/rhythmbox @ Slart [15:15] syscode: yea it may be a dns issue.

[15:16] erUSUL, now what will I do with all those dashes [15:16] th0r: and if you read the man page you see that it has some advantages over tail -f [15:16] yousif111, replace /tmp/g with your filename [15:16] wow [15:16] Slart: only if you are using OSS [15:16] Slart: yap. or in some cases one will even crash [15:16] pinging 192.168.1.1 gets nothing - and so is an attempt to point browser there [15:17] Xavura_: depending on what you want to do, you just need to import the image you want before changing the wallpaper. [15:17] trakinas how do i go about getting that to run you think? [15:17] Noone? [15:17] knittl: if you go to system, preferences, sound and set everything to use pulse.. any changes? [15:18] nixnoob: will that be why it's not letting me run from my Fedora DVD? [15:18] syscode: what happens if you sudo dhclient eth0 [15:18] however, pinging 192.168.1.254 seems to work - but browsing there, get the browser to show the title of the router box on the window, nothing else [15:18] Jman: have no idea, but try installing moz-plug. i think that is the name [15:18] KenBW2: i dunno whats the eroor message [15:18] Slart: default mixer tracks too? [15:18] backslash7: do "dmesg" the logged mesages from whe it was mounted should be there but you will have to search for them [15:18] syscode: thats weird have u been screwing with your router settings? [15:18] knittl: nah.. you can leave that one [15:18] will need to try, nixnoob [15:19] Slart: hm, vlc still crashes [15:19] no - i didn't touch the settings at all [15:19] syscode, you trying to find the IP address of your router? [15:19] syscode: I'm really not sure that doesn't make any sense. [15:19] unop: no, hes trying to configure the interface [15:19] nixnoob: oh ive closed it now [15:20] the ip of the router is 192.168.1.254 [15:20] <_empemp_> which flash plugin do you use? [15:20] nixnoob: it was something about not being able to access my dvd drive [15:20] Slart: totem pops an error »failed to connect to stream: invalid argument« [15:20] KenBW2: yea I told ya its weird just use the official version. [15:21] should 192.168.1.254 not be the ip? do i need to try change this to 192.168.1.1 ? [15:21] syscode: thats also weird most routers have 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 [15:21] bonjour, je n'ai pas de correction orthographique dans openoffice 2.4 [15:21] syscode, your IP can be anything but 192.168.1.254 [15:21] !fr | esox [15:21] esox: 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 [15:21] syscode, that is, if you use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 [15:21] ubottu: pardon, errur de salon ! [15:21] esox: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:21] Hi. I understand to run a script I type either ./ but what if I want to run it from a different directory? /./ doesnt work [15:22] nixnoob, 192.168.1.254 is standard on some routers [15:22] unop - but 192.168.1.254 takes me to the router on xp [15:22] JonathanEllis: /$path/$to/$script [15:22] JonathanD: ./ indicates you run from current directory [15:22] ill be honest linux seems likes it alot more of a pain that its good [15:22] JonathanEllis: is / [15:22] just my opinion [15:22] knittl: hmm.. odd.. let me google a bit [15:22] syscode, right, that has to be your default gateway then .. your IP address must be something different [15:22] is fat32 == vfat ? [15:22] Slart: thanks a lot [15:23] syscode, so if i were you, i'd pick an IP address of 192.168.1.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.1.254 [15:23] JonathanEllis: . stands for the current directory so when you type ./scriptname you are actually telling the shell /pathname/scriptname [15:23] oh! i see, - unop [15:23] how can i get a substring from a variable in bash that is matching a regex [15:23] unop: why not just sudo dhclient eth0 [15:23] why people cant use linux here [15:23] nixnoob: is downloading [15:23] ? [15:23] KenBW2: what you trying to set up? [15:23] JonathanEllis: the same gfoes for .. (parent directory) or ~ (home directory) they are alias [15:23] icewaterman, use sed [15:23] so how can i preoceed from here? [15:23] if i want to copy everything except files/dirs_in_the_'build'_directory into build/temp/, how do i do that? "cp -a !(build/*) build/temp" seems not to work... [15:23] unop: i tried for the last 2 hours [15:23] svn client is working perfectly in linux but not in win2k. [15:24] :/ [15:24] icewaterman: ask in #bash [15:24] and i have no idea why my solution doesnt work [15:24] this is driving me insane. [15:24] icewaterman, sed -r 's/.*\(pattern\).*/\1/' <<<"$VARIABLE" [15:25] nixnoob: just so i can play with other distros without installing them [15:25] good evening everybody === mndo_ is now known as mndo [15:25] nixnoob, syscode, well, from what i had gathered in the last few minutes is that you wanted a static setup -- if you are trying to use dhcp, use that instead [15:25] Flamelor: howdy [15:25] am using dhcp [15:26] I'm sure this has been talked about...I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my Acer Expensia 5420 and i can connect to the network wired or wireless [15:26] well.. am trying to, unop.. the connection doesnt work though [15:26] icewaterman, actually. sed -r 's/.*(pattern).*/\1/' <<<"$VARIABLE" [15:26] can't connect [15:26] KenBW2: have fun, i personally find them to be all the same just with different packages [15:26] nixnoob: yea, thats what i found withFedora [15:26] evingrano do you set the DNS-Server? This was my fault at the begining [15:26] tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router after advice from nixnoob and djhash here [15:26] nixnoob: plus Ubuntu is easier to use [15:27] that the problem was the router setting [15:27] syscode, ok, run dhclient on that interface again .. then pastebin the output of this command. ifconfig; route -n [15:27] DNS server on the router in the app? [15:27] KenBW2: just more support and debian is much easier. [15:28] nixnoob: yea, the community support for ubuntu is amazing [15:28] @evingrano on your workstation. [15:28] Go to the Network-Setting-Dialog and choos DNS [15:28] thanks unop. will do. [15:28] WHERE are the default Ubuntu wallpapers [15:28] have to log off for that.. [15:28] syscode, you might need sudo where appropriate [15:28] They aren't in usr/share, there isn't a wallpaper dir... [15:28] syscode, not necessary [15:28] no? [15:29] unop: thank yo again the second command is working too for me. [15:29] if there is a 1pixel wide blue column on my screen, it that probably a hardware error? [15:29] unop: i always get invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS when i try that [15:29] anyone know if a script i put in /etc/acpi/suspend.d needs sudo on commands? [15:29] am currently on the XP part of the box.. [15:29] oh come on [15:29] I've been trying to find out for like half an hour [15:29] Nobody know where the default Ubuntu wallpapers are? [15:29] i messed something up with nvidia-glx-new (i think i installed a conflicting package: nvidia-xconfig, causing nvidia-glx-new to be removed). Now it is marked as "half installed" and when I do dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx-new I get " nvidia-glx-new is broken or not fully installed" [15:29] what can I do? [15:29] its alrady said Xavura_ [15:30] the same error appears if i try to uninstall the package [15:30] no it hasn't been said Flamelor [15:30] syscode, ohh ok, you need to reboot into linux and try this then. , assuming eth0 is what you are configuring. sudo dhclient eth0; ifconfig eth0; route -n [15:30] if it had been said would I be here asking still? [15:30] oh sry [15:30] err no [15:30] one moment [15:30] Xavura_, /usr/share/backgrounds [15:30] Xavura_: it's got to be somewhere in your home folder since you dont need root priveliges to change them [15:30] backgrounds :S [15:30] ttt--: am i wrong? [15:30] icewaterman, even now? [15:30] cool. thanks unop [15:30] why are they backgrounds on Ubuntu and wallpapers on everything else I can think of [15:30] thanks anyway [15:30] erUSUL: i m not sure what you mean by #bsh. is it an irc channel? [15:30] even with -r [15:31] yousif111, he meant #bash -- but they'll probably tell you the same thing [15:31] oh ok [15:31] icewaterman, ok, what is contained in the variable? [15:32] nixnoob: i installed VB as you suggested, and it's gone: it's not in Applications and "bash: virtualbox-ose: command not found" [15:32] unop: contents of /proc/cmdline [15:32] icewaterman, A="foobar"; sed -r 's/.*(oba).*/\1/' <<<$A # should return oba [15:32] KenBW2: system tools [15:32] i want to extract the root=/dev/ part [15:32] nixnoob: not there [15:33] icewaterman, and what specifically are you trying to extract? [15:33] nixnoob: unless it's hidden... [15:33] Does anyone know what happened to BitchX? It's not in the Ubuntu repositories. [15:33] KenBW2: it shouldn't be, did you uninstall the one from the repos first? [15:33] anyone know if its possible to use vmware workstation to make a virtual operating system of my already installed vista when i am using Ubuntu 8.04? they are on seperate hard drives.. any link to a tutorial or something greatly appreciated [15:33] nixnoob: yea but i uninstalled it first [15:33] unop: from /proc/cmdline the device from root=/dev/sda7 for example [15:33] Hello, using a Linksys USB ethernet adapter I receive flood of "Failed to send software reset" how may I fix this please? [15:34] hmmm, it's showing in Edit Menus as "Sun xVM VirtualBox" and is *not* hidden, even though it doesn't show up [15:34] i just tried to start a .exe-file using wine, but i got this message: [15:34] install the Windows version of MONO to run .NET executables [15:34] What to do? [15:35] KenBW2: lol i dunno what you did but it should be there under system tools [15:35] install mono [15:35] icewaterman, i just tried this sed -r 's/.*root=(.*) .*/\1/' /proc/cmdline === Test is now known as ShawnP [15:35] I need urgent help, my grub menu.lst got deleted for some reason and i cannot boot ubuntu [15:35] nixnoob: i ran it using the command in Edit Menus: VirtualBox (capitalised) [15:35] Test - thank you - but what in heaven is 'Mono'? [15:35] if i want to copy everything except files/dirs in the 'build' directory into build/temp/. how do i do that? "cp -a !(build/*) build/temp" seems not to work... [15:35] KenBW2: yea i found that about vbox as well the use the camel case its annoying. [15:35] well that was cute, my computer just spontaneously did a clean shutdown. : [15:35] its the open source version of the .net framework [15:36] ok - thank you! [15:36] Qhestion, you need to enable extglob for that [15:36] @Flamelor, DNS tables are filled properly...weird. I can't even ping the router [15:36] unop: that returns everything else but the root= part [15:37] evingrano - sry, i have no other suggestion... [15:37] should be able to get it from the updater [15:37] icewaterman, it shouldn't -- make sure you don't have any aliases or functions for sed that might cause bash to run sed differently [15:37] unop: dont have such an alias [15:37] @Flamelor, np...thanks for the suggestion...banging my head on this one [15:37] nixnoob: it's saying i need to be in the vboxusers group. I added myself, but do i need to log out and in again for it to take effect? === ShawnP is now known as Ghoztrider [15:38] icewaterman, $ sed 's/.*\(root=.*\) .*/\1/' /proc/cmdline # give me root=/dev/mapper/athena-root , which is intended [15:38] these days when I apt-get packages, i get a strange message.

[15:38] icewaterman, note i didn't use -r here [15:38] unop: is there no easier / more portable way? what i am *really* trying to do is build a .tgz of the current directory, but all these files and directories should be in a directory "foo" inside of the .tgz [15:39] i don't get it from every package i apt-get, but a few [15:39] Hi all [15:39] it gives me a menu with seven options: boot find /menu.lst, boot find /wubi/grub/menu.lst, boot find /grub/menu.lst, boot find /boot/grub/menu.lst, command line , reboot, and halt.

[15:41] knittl: nope.. but pulseaudio is a weird beast [15:42] icewaterman, what is the content of your $CMDLINE var?

[16:05] ice_cream, ls does not properly escape filenames that contain unusual characters, including spaces, newlines and other ASCII control characters -- now your command works fine when filenames are properly named, but it does not take into consideration exceptions [16:05] flashplayer-nonfree hangs the browser [16:06] ice_cream, you should never ever parse the output of ls, ls was never created to be used in scripts or compound commands .. it was simply written to list objects in interactive sessions, thats all [16:06] nm, dmesg helped figgure it out [16:07] ice_cream, if you must copy files in such a way .. use find. find . -exec cp '{}' /path/to/dest \; [16:09] so i'm having a very strange problem... my screen will flicker between a red grade to normal constantly [16:09] its not a monitor problem [16:09] !flash [16:09] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [16:09] ice_cream, why using ls and xargs that way is actually dangerous is when you have filenames with spaces, a file named "foo bar" will actually be passed down the pipe to xargs as two strings and xargs will think it has to copy two files one "foo" and another "bar" [16:10] Error- Dependency is not satisfiable: libboo2.0-cil ...

[16:22] DASPRiD: Probably automatically installed, as a dependency, not explicitally. [16:23] because i have many packages marked with A [16:23] which "seem" to be installed, but arent [16:23] have to make aptitude reinstall `package` to realyl install them [16:23] and there are lots of [16:23] is there a terminal command to change the screen resolution?

[16:26] TacticalFrostbit, xrandr -s 1024x768 # but your setup must support this resolution [16:26] they do [16:26] You know when you right click and certain letters for everthing are underlined [16:26] and in menus too [16:26] in facft my setup didnt support the default res [16:26] I think they are access keys, my question is *how* do I use them [16:26] please help.. I broke my screen resolution [16:26] TacticalFrostbit, xrandr should list what resolutions are supported [16:27] I tried to set up my second monitor [16:27] like how would I access the "Rename" via the R access key, what do I press? [16:27] alt/shift/ctrl don't work [16:27] I think on Windows it was alt === fernando is now known as Guest77751 [16:27] ubuntu asked me to restart X [16:27] and now I can't see shit [16:27] 640x480 [16:27] sorry about my french [16:27] does any1 know how to turn ON WiFi on HP G7000? the button for doing that doesnt work(no driver in ubuntu like for brightness buttons?) [16:28] Xavura: I believe you can rename files by pressing F2 [16:28] ks3: that's all fine and dandy [16:28] but I want to start using all these access keys [16:28] they make things quicker and easier but I don' tknow how [16:28] hi [16:29] Xavura, you might need to use xmodmap to map these keys to the right sequences [16:29] unop: [16:29] Xavura: once the menu is open, you just hit the letter... not sure how to pop up the menu with a keystroke though. sorry. [16:29] oh [16:29] yeah that's kind of what I need, how to pop up the menu with a keystroke [16:29] Xavura: The alt key works for me to bring up the menu, does your alt key work correctly elsewhere? [16:29] but for the TOP menus I think you can use alt [16:30] yeah that works, in most apps anyway [16:30] Error- Dependency is not satisfiable: libboo2.0-cil ... While installing Banshee 1.0 from a deb package... any idea why i get this error? that file is not in the repository [16:30] say if I'm going through my music using the arrow keys [16:30] and I want to rename them, there's no way to trigger the right click menu without the mouse [16:30] any1 up for it? (Turn on WiFi on HP G7000) [16:30] Shoopuf: mostlikely because it depends on packages which are not in the repo [16:31] shoopuf i think that means its either an older version or conflicting [16:31] Shoopuf: why not use the banshee package from the ubuntu repos [16:31] Xavura: do you have that key that looks like a menu on your keyboard? [16:31] Raskall_: err that looks like a menu? explain [16:31] near right super [windows] and control [16:31] mgolisch: I got the one in the repos but this new Banshee 1.0.0 is supposed to be really good [16:31] err no just space, super, ctrl [16:31] mgolisch if it didn't exist wouldn't it give a different error message? [16:32] ctrl super alt space alt super ctrl [16:32] Xavura: Aw, some keyboards have a key there that brings up the context menu [16:32] Nobody know of a way to open right click menus with the keyboard [16:32] shoopuf let me check which repository i got it from [16:32] Xavura: The little button between alt and ctrl on the right side? [16:32] ASULutzy: he doesnt have it [16:33] er [16:33] I don't have a button there === Sam__ is now known as SamDunne [16:33] Xavura: you could remap right super to context [16:33] xavura soem keyboards have a right click key if not you can configure it [16:33] well, I have a super there but the key isn't on, it's broken [16:33] can't I map left super to do that? [16:33] Xavura: whichever [16:33] I don't use left super except on Windows [16:33] xavura im sure u can [16:33] how would I do that? [16:33] Hey I'm dual booting ubuntu and windows. Any way to merge the windows partition with the ubuntu files without losing the data on it? i.e getting rid of windows os but keeping the file and folders [16:34] Xavura: fyi the context key is keymap 117 [16:34] I don't know how to do it though [16:34] where do I go? [16:34] quit [16:34] SamDunne: copy the files across to the Ubuntu partition, then resize it? [16:34] zs6otb: forget a forward slash? lol [16:34] haha [16:34] Xavura: I think xmodmap will do it [16:34] RasQulec: what's that, how do I get to it, how do I use it [16:34] Xavura: left super is 115 I think [16:34] shoopuf why don't you download it from getdeb.net [16:34] this is what I mean, I have absolutely no idea [16:35] SamDunne: you can just copy the files to a backup drive and then reinstall again selecting the entire disk [16:35] SamDunne: yeah backup first then kill the windows partition, then resze the ubuntu one, but dont do it ithout backups! [16:35] SamDunne: unless the data isnt important [16:35] Xavura: I dont know, you will have to look it up, I think you have to configure a script in your home dir to map them using that [16:35] how can i install madwifi drivers easily ? [16:35] SamDunne: buy a few DVDs :P [16:35] Xavura: You can try installing xkeycaps - it should let you map your keys [16:35] hello? no1 knows about WiFi? ) [16:35] SamDunne: do you have some external storage like usbhdd wich is big enough? [16:36] is that the package name? [16:36] Pici, how can i search for all packages which were automaticall installed? [16:36] Xavura: yep. it's a gui front end for xmodmap [16:36] E: Couldn't find package xmapkeys [16:36] oops [16:36] SamDunne: id copy the files to the ubuntu parition, then backup/image the ubuntu partition, after that remove the windows one and resize the ubuntu one to have more space [16:36] ignore that [16:36] I just totally typed the wrong thing [16:36] can someone help me set up a second monitor? [16:37] SamDunne: you will also have to edit the grub file [16:37] aslamc: I figured it out by Googling. :P I had to add 2 lines to my /etc/apt/sources.list [16:38] Xavura: Type this into a terminal: xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Menu" [16:38] SamDunne: I recommend that you just reinstall from fresh, just copy your important files to a backup, reinstall, copy files back and away you go! thats how I would do it =) [16:38] it should remap it === hlfshell is now known as hlfshell_no_long [16:38] ffHAHA [16:38] it works === hlfshell_no_long is now known as hlfshell [16:38] I have 30 gb's of music which I cant backup and I'm not willing to lose lol [16:38] not exactly how I thought it would though [16:38] SamDunne: How much free space does your Ubuntu install have? [16:38] say if I do it in the x chat window it does the right click for the input box [16:38] 18gb [16:38] even if my mouse is not in the input box [16:38] =( [16:39] Xavura: okay put "keycode 115=menu" into ~/.xmodmap if you want to keep it [16:39] SamDunne: Alternatively you could just delete everything on the NTFS partition other than the music and use it as storage [16:39] Good idea [16:39] SamDunne: It's not like you can't just convert the Windows partition into a storage space [16:39] Xavura: it brings up the menu for the currently selected item that has keyboard focus [16:39] SamDunne: you can also convert the ntfs partition to ext3 [16:39] td123: Doing that would format it? [16:39] How do I do that? [16:39] Yeah [16:39] So just delet everything on the windows partition apart from music etc? [16:39] ASULutzy: ya, I mean format it to ext3 [16:40] Xavura: Menu may need to be propercase [16:40] RasQulec: it worked how you typed it [16:40] RasQulec: ok well x chat doesn't let you blur the input field so that's why right [16:40] ASULutzy thanks I'll do that =) [16:40] unop, yea, the -1 switch of ls is important for that reason [16:41] what's the easiest way to add a password to a pdf document? [16:41] Xavura: perhaps, I have not used xchat but if it doesnt give the input focus then it wont work [16:41] td123: that wouldn't be a solution, he wants to keep his 30 GB of music. SamDunneYea, just convert it to storage by deleting everything other than the music ;) === Dark_Sage is now known as Tertius [16:41] it gives the focus input [16:41] and it works for what I wanted to use it better, it doesn't really work for x chat [16:41] I apt-get'd nagios, removed it, and now when I reinstall it seems to know I previously installed it; and wont try to configure itself. === Tertius is now known as OTertius [16:41] but I never really need to right click in x chat so it's ok [16:41] how do I make apt-get reconfigure nagios ? [16:41] RasQulec: one thing though, if I reboot will the key still be mapped [16:42] myconid: dpkg-reconfigure packagename [16:42] erUSUL: it wont even install now (I deleted /etc/nagios) :) [16:42] myconid: you need to do "sudo apt-get remove --purge nagios to get rid of conf files too [16:43] Xavura: no, you need to put the stuff in quotes into ~/.xmodmap [16:43] * delcoyote hi [16:43] what's the easiest way to add a password to a pdf document in linux? [16:43] myconid: :| brute force is not usually the best action... a "man apt-get" shoulb have been a better aproach ;P [16:43] unop, actually, xargs -iVAR rm -v VAR correctly works, even if spaces [16:43] erUSUL: I think I broke it.. http://pastebin.com/m774e4aa7 [16:44] lesshaste: truecrypt it would be easy :P [16:44] RasQulec: it is empty/doesn't exist is that normal [16:44] Xavura: Yes, you need to make it [16:44] Raskall_, can acroread then open it? [16:44] myconid: sudo dpkg -i --force-all path/to/deb/file [16:45] firefox 3 randomly crashes on me. any ideas why? [16:45] lesshaste: no you will have to extract it, if there is not a tool for adding a password to the pdf then you will have to put it in an archive like that [16:45] doesn't appear to be flash that causes it [16:45] RasQulec: thanks [16:45] Hi all. This computer has been on for a few days now and when I try and launch new apps, they stall half-way through loading. Ones that are already running are stable. Restarting the whole computer is the only fix I've found. I've no idea what's causing it, or how to tell so any input would be lovely! [16:45] myconid: usually yo will see them on /var/cache/apt/archives/ [16:45] see what? [16:45] shoopuf make sure u let me know how u like banshee [16:45] Raskall_, :( [16:45] myconid: the bed files [16:45] shoopuf its cool isnt it ;) [16:45] myconid: the deb files [16:46] lesshaste: I;m RasQulec not Raskall_ :P [16:46] :) [16:46] Does anyone know how powerfull a graphics card it takes to run Compiz at 1080p? [16:46] ChoboMog: about 75 watts [16:46] ice_cream, you still aren't getting the point - ls doesn't escape at all - http://pastebin.com/d3674fe7b [16:47] ChoboMog: an intel x3100 or higher I bet [16:47] okay [16:47] ChoboMog: just running it.. something in the geforce 6 series would run it without sweating I guess [16:47] anyone have a good Grip guide for setting encoding flags and stuff? [16:47] ChoboMog: depends on the amount of effects you use too [16:47] wth, whats an intel x3100 :) [16:48] td123: its the intel 965's video chip [16:48] td123: Integrated graphics card, i965 [16:48] I'm currently using a radeon 9200/p4 3ghz, which can run 720p playback without issue, but I wasn't sure how intensive compiz would be compared to that [16:48] ahh [16:48] ChoboMog: that should work, it doesnt seem to take much to run compiz [16:48] ChoboMog: I have an onboard x3100, it works to run compiz, it won't do much more than that though [16:48] the main settings I use are wobbly windows, awn dock, and the hot-corner like effects [16:48] ice_cream, the only way to get around this is to have fields delimited by the NULL character (\0) passed to arg .. e.g. find -print0 .. as far as i know, there is no ls that does that, GNU ls especially [16:48] <[k0d3]||4[tran]> Hi: Say that I want to uninstall my GNOME desktop, and install IceWM. Running: [sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop] would take me back to the Ubuntu 8.04 installation (server w.GUI) I have server command line. Could i just then do [sudo aptitude update] followed by [sudo aptitude install icewm]? [16:49] ChoboMog: I'm running compiz at 1920*1200 on two screens on a single 8800 GTS. Compiz isn't that heavy as long as you have a new enough card with enough graphics RAM [16:49] okay [16:49] [k0d3]||4[tran]: that should install all the dependencies [16:49] Does anyone have any experience getting a Treo 650 to synchronise with Ubuntu? [16:49] [k0d3]||4[tran]: that should work.. I don't even think you need the sudo apt-get update there [16:49] or know anything about the GNOME Network Applet [16:50] why when Im running adept_manager it doesnt give me administrator rights to install updates unless I rub sudo adept_manager? (using kubuntu) [16:50] I mean, GNOME Bluetooth Applet [16:50] excellent...I'll give it a shot, thanks [16:50] ChoboMog: just seen your other message - a 9200 might start to feel the heat at 1080p... that is getting on in years [16:50] [k0d3]||4[tran]: but it can't hurt.. so might as well run it.. unless you've updated recently [16:50] ChoboMog: how much video ram does it have? [16:50] 128mb [16:51] can someone tell me how to expand my FS3 partition that my root is in without needing a live CD?

[16:54] MolePrince, if you got the all the files back, you could use EasyTag to rename all the files from their tags [16:54] I think [16:54] jeeves__: nope, I've never resized a partition [16:54] ChoboMog: completely agree with RasQulec - give if a year or two and ATI could well be top for Linux graphics but they're coming from a long way behind [16:54] jeeves__: You might be able to make grub mount a live cd that is stored on a non root partition but I dont have experience in setting that up [16:54] Thank you for all your suggestions.

[16:55] gordonjcp, ahhh, well, I don't have blank disk (well, I do, but they're dual layer DVDs), and I can't find the ones I had mailed to me. I saw a "howto" on howtoforge.com, butI didn't know if it was any good [16:55] MolePrince: ok. If it was ipod to ipod, I was going to say the file names dont matter [16:55] MolePrince: Banshee or Rhythmbox should be able to do that. [16:55] hi I just upgraded to hardy heron but my sound card isn't detected after the upgrade [16:55] jeeves__: boot off a USB stick?

Please [17:07] gordonjcp, brb [17:07] Quality as a whole path? Since that's what I'm feeding gnome-terminal [17:07] mjg, a nice value is like a priority, the lower the nice value, the more un-nice it is is, and uses more cpu cycles [17:07] I just installed Hardy [17:07] unop: yuck, thanx [17:07] aahhh thanks rasq [17:07] coolasjon: why do you need a driver for your monitor? [17:07] unop haha, odd. can you increase/decrease the Nice value?

[17:09] !EnvyNG [17:09] mjg, yea, it has to have a high nice value - or it will take up a lot of cycles and might make your system a little unstable/sluggish [17:09] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package.

[17:10] unop ah right, so the low nice = more cpu cycles, high nice = low cpu [17:11] unop so if i set something to very high nice value, will the program itself (ie - firefox) become slow? [17:11] I can't find a fix [17:11] i get an error saying that is ubuntu is going to run in safe mode graphics. hardware drivers doesnt resolve the problem because i tried enabling and restarting but nothing changes === hlfshell_lunch is now known as hlfshell [17:12] coolasjon: go to system -> admistration -> hardware drivers [17:12] hi === kevin__ is now known as something_else11 [17:12] how do you restart sound cuz i dont feel like logging out and my sound wont play [17:13] i just download a source file from http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/kfceu?content=63274 can anyone help me install it?

[17:27] how doe sone access it [17:27] firefox 3 randomly crashes on me. any ideas why? doesn't appear to be flash causing it. [17:27] gordonjcp: there have been and are linux viruses but their effect is very limited due to the fact that updates are released and applied faster [17:27] its just an idea [17:27] chriswr: usplash just displays the nice picture when you boot, grub actually loads the kernel [17:28] ronin12345: uhm, no [17:28] ballsac: but if you dont like it, you will need to install wine on your linux distro then install word [17:28] ronin12345: there are various exploits for Linux, but no viruses [17:28] pici: can you tell me how to install new ones?

[18:08] ikonia: iam not able play movie in my ubuntu 8.04 inspite i hav many players [18:08] Mr_Bad_News: mencoder [18:09] mahesh: have you installed the codecs [18:09] how / [18:09] !System>Administrator [18:09] administrator, please see my private message [18:09] ks3: one more thing , you know the code to install a file called kfceu-2.0.4.tar.gz? [18:09] the syntax [18:09] Mr_Bad_News: mencoder is a massive application, check out the docs [18:09] ikonia: ya i did [18:09] ikonia, but thats where is stored all gnome defaults? [18:09] chriswr: check if the compiled version is in the repo's [18:09] ikonia, the problem is that i didn't know where the root trash folder was located [18:09] lucas_: normally ~/.gnome2 [18:09] chriswr: You can extract the file contents with tar - tar xvzf file_name, but it's probably source code... [18:09] ikonia: i only see a green screen [18:09] ikonia, thanks again [18:09] ikonia: my mouse pointer gets struck [18:10] DieseL`nix: I don't know I don't play that way :) If I was you, I'd dist-upgrade to hardy. If I didn't want to do that (and I really would), I'd stick to using fstab to avoid nautilus. But since neither are to your liking....I'd get the deb for nautilus and manually install it. (this I wouldn't do). [18:10] Can anyone help me setup partitions? I'm new to ubuntu and I'm not sure how to setup it to how i liked it in windows [18:10] ikonia, thats the point, i want to modify gnome defaults for any new user I add [18:10] ikonia: but iam able to pay musics === Klanticus_ is now known as Klanticus [18:10] ks3: yeah , it said source code when i downloaded it [18:10] lucas_: so do it in the skel dir [18:10] !install Philian: [18:10] atlef: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:10] ikonia: but iam able to play musics [18:10] !install | Philian: [18:10] Philian:: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[18:21] alex_c: This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area.

[18:23] @bazhang - i gave my two cents, which were credible advice, though not a complete solution. [18:23] ak5-: I did, but it's a bit basic... it covers mainly desktop stuff, but I wanna get more technical [18:23] atlef: it's a 250 Gb hard drive, and a recent dell optiplex 740. [18:23] System boots and displays the logo, but shortly after starting everything, the screen goes bright white, but plays audio. [18:23] what happened to intrepid alpha 2?

[18:23] MeniShevitz, telling people to install windows software is not good nor credible advice [18:24] with a soundblaster live , alsa driver in hardy , audio quality is very lower than windows....

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:24] @bazhang - i remembered there being a linux port of virtualdub. i was wrong, but a quick search produced similar software for linux. [18:24] i've linked the correct thread. [18:24] can you do an fsck from the kubuntu live CD?

[18:38] I'm trying to load the topcoder applet but instead it throws up a java control panel and a applications cache viewer :( [18:38] hansemann: Care to explain what it is you are trying to accomplish? It sounded like you were trying to partition your hard disk without formatting it. [18:38] krabador: well, nothing to do about that as far as i know [18:38] krabador, what has that got to do with it? [18:39] anyone installed ubuntu 8.04 with wubi? [18:39] Does anyone knows how can i put my chanel into the list of chanels .( it is registered_ [18:39] hansemann: Which doesn't make any sense if you want to be able to use it [18:39] newk: I did.

[18:40] krabador, make sure that the output you are using is the pulled upto max and control via "master" [18:40] these are the msgs on auth log... it could be useful for seeing what is wrong that i cannot access my svn... http://pastebin.us/?show=d1f823098 [18:40] anto, tes. [18:40] yes [18:40] btw, why are these characters all messed up??? [18:40] hansemann: LVM a volume manager. It manages disk space. What do you think it does? [18:40] msl... [18:41] Hi all, I've got a problem with my screen resolution, I can't it higher than 800x600 (need 1280x800). I can't select any different driver than VESA Driver (generic), which was first nvidia. It happened when trying to use a second screen (with ubuntu screen settings). My videocard is: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7150M (rev a2). Could anybody help me? Thanks in advance. :) [18:41] RIk_T, do you have nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-settings installed? [18:41] Sylphid|work: I'll try installing those. :) [18:42] so i can just install LVM now without any formating? [18:42] msl, i still dont get it? [18:42] hansemann: LVM is not a program. [18:43] hansemann: It is a way to store data on your hard drive. It involves using a partition editor. [18:43] Rik_T: u dont happen to know how to set ubuntu as the default option? [18:43] yea. i heard that you could use it to make one partition on two harddrives. so thats why im asking. [18:43] Why can't I connect to a WPA network? [18:44] newk: No, sorry, I don't. [18:44] Hey guys I needed to edit the sudoers files with visudo, whats the shortcut to save the file? [18:44] hansemann: You have to have free space on your hard drive to create an LVM. [18:44] <___Max> I need to get the necessary packages to install wine 1.1.1, how do I do this? [18:44] PrimoTurbo: ctrl+o [18:45] thnx where do i find the rest fo the shortcuts [18:45] NTolerance_: not with vi [18:45] so my root drive doesnt need to be lvm? [18:45] nano is default on recent ubuntu installs [18:45] NTolerance_: ohhh! awesome [18:45] or partition [18:45] hansemann: I'm not sure what you think "formatting" means, but if you have free space, you have to "format" it to use it. So, creating an LVM without formatting your disk is completely useless. [18:45] at least gutsy and hardy are that way, not sure about anything older [18:45] is anyone here who can speak german??????????

The problem is, I'm missing a ton of packages. Is there an easy way to just install the required packages so I can successfully compile wine? [18:55] new2nix: well, then you'd be better of just installing the destkop version. That way you will get a graphical interface and all kind of tools/apps too. [18:55] !wireless > sensae: [18:55] sensae:, please see my private message [18:55] kyncani2: when i run your command... it brings up 2 files neither of which are the files i require, but I know the file exists somewhere as my used disc space has gone up by 12gb [18:56] axisys ah..

[18:59] looks like /ignore QUITS is what i want right? [18:59] guys help needed, how do i find broken packages in synaptic? [18:59] new2nix: the command i gave you should show the full path [18:59] Thank you very much, it worked perfectly! :) [18:59] <````bulldogg> trying to set a machine up but I can't sit here and babysit it so I am looking for a script I can start and just walk away [18:59] I think there you can get some programs [18:59] /j #ssh [18:59] ... [18:59] It was the oddest thing [18:59] hi guys. i want to install ubuntu 8.04 lts x64 desktop on a raid1 array and i am not sure if this is supported through the gui installer. i've tried it already but i haven't managed to make it work. any suggestions? [18:59] kyncani nope.. gives me an error.... and then just those two files [18:59] 15:18: 12G [18:59] 17:20: 12G [18:59] new2nix: Again... find / -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $8 ": " $5 }' [18:59] greetings... please help me... all of a sudden things don't work correct anymore...

Trying to encode a H.264 movie with FFMPEG and it's complaining that libx264 can't be found despite the library being installed [19:00] ali__: under edit there is a "fix broken packages" have you tried it [19:00] ali__ just click edit and fix broken packages [19:00] maximizing and opening menus got really slow ! [19:00] kk [19:00] Rik_T, good to hear! [19:00] what could have done that [19:01] tried that [19:01] sensae: have you done a disconnect and then reconnect? [19:01] plus one app is not able to work in fullscreen anymore ! [19:01] new2nix: that's why i told you you may better install a regular ubuntu desktop and use it like a server, that way you will have access to some graphical tools that may be easier to use. The find command does work but if you just want to use a console login, then you have to read documentation (manpages, errors, ...) [19:01] i compiled x264 with --prefix=/usr and the binary was installed to /usr/bin, but ubuntu thinks it's in /usr/local/bin. Why? [19:01] i could someone help with a one line script [19:01] and still have 1 broken package [19:01] kyncani: i get the following error: Hard link count is wrong for /proc/sys: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver.

I can't get key combinations set for locking the workstation to work (as of within the last 24-48 hours) [19:02] was there a general problem or is it on my machine only [19:02] kyncani: ok but the file IS somewhere? [19:02] for i in *.tiff do tesseract %1 %1.txt -l eng, done (but this doesnt work) [19:02] How do I install drivers??? Such as the nVidia graphics card driver???? [19:02] new2nix: if the file is somewhere, then "find / -type f -size +3G" [19:02] sensae: have you tried to open the network manager and re-entered the connection info, as in ssid and password? [19:02] I'm new [19:03] Anyone know of a better alternative for nm-applet? I got rid of my gnome-panels and am only running AWN. the system tray for AWN is still really ugly. [19:03] new2nix: if the file is somewhere, then "find / -type f -size +3G" *will* show it. If it does not, then you don't have a +3G file.

[19:20] javier: you do have ntfsprogs installed ? [19:20] Camish: Sounds good. Check out the ddns-update-style directive for DHCPd, and there should be something similar in BIND. [19:20] pasteeater, it says that is unknown too [19:21] #quit [19:21] kyncani, ntfsprogs?? [19:21] liviu: is your wifi card working ?

[19:21] new2nix: no, you plug a screen and a keyboard into the box, that would be easier [19:21] ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [19:21] this is my video card [19:22] javier: i think gparted would need ntfsprogs to format ntfs [19:22] CostaRicanQuaker: Have you tried to find it in Synaptic? [19:22] How do you install drivers if Hardware Drivers does not work?? [19:22] tennispolska: System>Administration>Hardware Drives [19:22] gregL: Thanks alot then. [19:22] vi390 doing nothing!!! [19:22] anyone want to check my irc server pm me [19:22] just nothing [19:22] tennispolska: What type of video card do you have? [19:22] plug&play [19:22] liviu: na , I mean the Wifi card. not the graphic. do you have problems with the GraCa ? [19:22] pici: nvidia deforce go 7150m [19:22] kyncani: easier, but i dont have physical access to the box. Its a dedicated server that i rent [19:22] xenomorph99: i need one more pastebin of the "ffmpeg -formats" command. [19:22] xnv, how is vim better? [19:22] Photocopy: You want to install Xubuntu on top of Ubuntu? [19:22] snarkster: any idea, maybe is the router who's blocking the connection? [19:22] ciauz [19:22] kyncani: javier: absolutly correct, as i see after installing it [19:23] pici: sorry, geforce [19:23] is linux unix certified? or someting?

[19:23] theRealBall: no [19:23] RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI [19:23] GleepGlop: Yeah, I only had the ubuntu CD, so couldnt make it xubuntu to beginweith [19:23] no vi390! [19:23] i know if you go to the nvidia site and look for the 7400GO like i have it's not listed on their driver page [19:23] doesn't the opengroup do this? [19:23] theRealBall: its a unix-like [19:23] GleepGlop: Complication is that its a bootable persistent usb stick [19:23] pasteeater, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26724/ [19:23] Photocopy: so Ubuntu is already installed, right? [19:23] I don't have a problem wit the wifi [19:23] GleepGlop: In a sense yes [19:24] tennispolska: you can install a program called "envy" from synaptic to try another driver [19:24] anybody managed to install the Gigabyte U60 drivers under 8.04? [19:24] It's functioning perfectly [19:24] theRealBall: its just a name in practice it is just like unix [19:24] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [19:24] Should it be h264 ? [19:24] Photoshop: you have a working desktop and can log in ? [19:24] hi. I am working on multi-seat setup of ubuntu 8.04 [19:24] tennispolska: no guarantees though, NVidia is faltering in a big way on drivers recently [19:24] Not x264? [19:24] CostaRicanQuaker: emacs is just a pain in the butt. It does a lot of the same stuff as vim, but it requires more awkward key combos [19:24] My only problem is the video card! [19:24] oh ok [19:24] ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [19:24] kyncani: can i still use a GUI on a dedicated server [19:24] new2nix: i see ... well, just 4 days linux/unix just won't cut it then in my opinion [19:24] does anyone here use spdif out with hardy, and have it working? it worked with gutsy and alsa [19:24] I want to be sure no automatic tool overwrites my configuration. [19:24] kyncani, ok ill install them thanks [19:24] xnv, how do i get vim¿? [19:24] xenomorph99: ok...i was almost right. this time try "-vcodec h264" [19:24] ntolerance: thanks :) [19:24] what auto-configuration tool of X runs in ubuntu ? [19:24] liviu: whats the prob with the Video Card ? (Does it have Video ?) [19:25] CostaRicanQuaker: You can also get it from Synaptic. [19:25] GleepGlop: My name is Photocopy and yes I have a desktop but no, I am always live session user, cause its a persistent live bootable usb [19:25] what can overwrite my configurations ? [19:25] flavors such as freebsd is unix certified why hasn't linux? [19:25] xenomorph99: and "-acodec aac" [19:25] yes it has video [19:25] CostaRicanQuaker: It's also installed by default in Ubuntu, I think. [19:25] liviu: and how did you manage to get the Wifi Card working (thats my problem at the moment) [19:25] but i cannot manage to install the drivers [19:25] tennispolska: i've been having my own NVidia driver troubles recently with a similar card to yours [19:25] anybody managed to install the Gigabyte U60 drivers under 8.04? [19:25] pasteeater, I think we got to the same point ;-) Now says 'Unknown motion estimation method '6'' [19:25] I did not! Ubuntu installed it by it self! [19:25] liviu: ooh shure , it has Video :-) never saw that :-) [19:26] xnv, i cant find it, so it would be sudo apt-get install vim? [19:26] Photocopy: oh, ok. Go ahead and install ubuntu. once it is installed and you have an Internet connection you can install xubuntu from the repos. [19:26] theRealBall: UNIX is a trademark. You have to pay large amounts of money to be able to call yourself UNIX. I believe only a hadnful of UNIX-like OSes are. [19:26] It's an PCMcia!

So I just install that again. I Upgraded from an old version. So its worth reinstaling it. [19:26] liviu: which PCMCIA ? [19:26] xenomorph99: 6 isn't a correct option: try hex or umh [19:26] i suppose Sun Microsystems has never had to pay anything then [19:27] RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI [19:27] What tools can I use to fixed a hard driver.

I've tried WinFF and a few of the suggestions in the Ubuntu forums but it won't play anything so far. The ffmpeg options I originally tried were from the ubuntu forum for a "self compiled ffmpeg." I thought it'd be pretty straightforward to just generate an mp4....(!) I have file that will play on the MP3 player - is it possible to extra [19:30] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKEcz_OTTBk [19:30] the 400 series === leob is now known as leob_ [19:31] does nothave [19:31] what's the exact model? [19:31] pasteeater, Or, at least, something that will give me information about the file that plays so I can see what to use as options for ffmpeg ?

[20:07] jimmy51vinsky: have you tested tftp ? [20:07] ikonia, i have not [20:07] What is the "append" flag for enabling and specifying the NFS directory and protocol? [20:07] jimmy51vinsky: test it then [20:08] in PXE [20:08] ikonia, i ran netstat -uap to verify it was there and it was. how can i test it properly? [20:08] failure: is it root [20:08] jimmy51vinsky: tftp is the client [20:08] jimmy51vinsky: connect to you server with it [20:08] ikonia this is for pxe install, not booting.

[20:09] ikonia, here's what i'm doing: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server [20:09] anyone know why virtualbox looks like this ? http://i34.tinypic.com/2myw7iu.png [20:09] yes it works fine, except i just want to pass a flag to the installer to specify the NFS directory to the CD [20:09] jimmy51vinsky: I asked you to test it [20:09] javier: If you open up the box, you'll see little non-ribbon cables going to it. Also, your BIOS may say what your disks are. And I'm sure theres a way to tell in Ubuntu too. [20:09] jimmy51vinsky: test tftp [20:09] ikonia, i would like to test it, i'm trying to figure out how [20:09] jimmy51vinsky: tftp is the client - so tftp to your server [20:09] from windows? [20:10] jimmy51vinsky: from windows ?? [20:10] Flannel, its a laptop, do laptops also have sata disks?? [20:10] jimmy51vinsky: if you have to download a tftp client for windows to test it, then sure [20:10] i have a ubuntu machine i setup as dhcp and pxe [20:10] ikonia: dropped the firewall [20:10] windows clients i want to pxe boot and install linux on [20:10] i have problem to tar how i can fix it [20:10] jimmy51vinsky: well the first thing to do is test on the server, tftp to it's self [20:10] ??

[20:11] arpan__: did you try a clean profile for firefox? [20:11] looks like it's from a 95 os [20:11] is there anyway to make apparmor ignore stuff in /opt? [20:11] Flannel, i dont have a floppy drive [20:12] how do i begin with that ikonia [20:12] rockenrola: how can i do that [20:12] arpan__: well you can create a new ubuntu user to login as, thats a whole new test environment [20:12] ok [20:13] how do I dump/export a dns zone ? [20:13] javier: I'm not sure how Windows handles that then. The problem is Windows install CDs don't know how to deal with SATA drives. Your best bet is to ask in ##windows and/or consult google.

[20:32] lol ok calm down [20:33] DieseL`nix: Depends on the protocol used [20:33] does anyone here have experience with creating a custom ubuntu livecd? [20:33] jmunro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [20:33] jmunro: there are some excellent docs on the wiki [20:33] Flannel, connect to server uses smb [20:33] jmunro: remastersys [20:33] i have a specific problem, i only remove packages, not add, yet the iso size increases [20:34] jmunro: http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/Remastersys [20:34] whats the best way to map a windows network share? [20:35] DieseL`nix: It can use a number of protocols, including FTP, etc. Are you using samba in this case? [20:35] nautilus in gutsy is broke, and i usually use "connect to server" to map network shares, but hey they broke that. so now i have to do it through fstab [20:35] what's the best protocol to do it? [20:36] atlef: that appears to be based on creating a livecd from your current setup, i only want to modify the default livecd [20:36] i as trying cifs but i see it sends passwords in plain text [20:36] jmunro: well, have you allready installed it? [20:36] i followed a tutorial and it worked fine, but the iso is 100mb bigger than before, which is odd since i only removed packages [20:36] Alsa is working through pulseaudio now.

[20:37] <_plague_87> please OP on #ubuntu-rs [20:38] DRebellion, but it sends passwords in place text?? [20:38] that's kinda useless?

[20:40] DieseL`nix: What is it connecting to? smb/cifs/windows networking supports a bunch of different authentication methods. [20:40] DRebellion: but i would like to change the email the alerts are sent to [20:40] well it's just a windows share on a win2003 box [20:40] romme, not sure how to do that. [20:41] i want to know what's the most secure way to map it with linux [20:41] romme: try asking in #ubuntu-server [20:41] romme, you could change /etc/aliases [20:41] Sylphid|work: thanks [20:42] DieseL`nix: Hmm. Check the samba documentation, there should be a way to tell it to only use ntlm/ntlmv2 [20:42] anyone know how to remove the xchat task bar button and just minimize it too the tray? [20:43] Blaqlight, /set gui_tray_flags - Toggle tray flags. (1=Hide to tray on exit, 2=Don't show balloons unless hidden or iconified, 4=Minimize to tray) [20:43] Lynet, i reckon nautilus smb support does that [20:43] but gutsy broke it [20:44] and the only way to fix is to get the latest nautilus - not available for gutsy yet# [20:44] i could get a .deb but apparently that's not a good idea?

[21:23] nixnoob: Matter of opinion. [21:23] hi [21:23] amsn [21:23] djhash, use nano, not pico. [21:23] (though I'd imagine pico is aliased to nano) [21:23] pico is a symlink to nano. And in xubuntu, gksu mousepad [21:24] maybe im in the wrong path i dunno, i build it from source but dunno thats what it say when i do su [21:24] Boricua: whats wrong with the version in the repositories? [21:24] Boricua: amsn is in the repositories. Why are you building from source?

[21:26] hello [21:26] xtknight, that's only one of the steps. [21:26] Boricua: generally, if you don't have a reason to update it (read the changelog) then you're fine with the current version [21:26] xtknight, and it's not the first. [21:26] Stormx2, o thought he got to taht point [21:26] Boricua: you could always compile it yourself though [21:27] jmunro: i belive there is a way.. dunno myself... [21:27] Boricua: The version in the repositories is most likely the same as the newer version. 0.97.1 is a bugfix release.

However, 0.97.1 is just a bugfix release, you can probably get the changes (if there are any of relevance) put into that version. Ask in #ubuntu-motu [21:29] !iphone [21:29] you fail ubottu :( [21:29] hey guys, how can i improve font rendering in hardy? [21:29] Quicksilva: i believe some older versions of itunes works with wine. [21:29] oh right does that mean i wont be able ot get the new sortware? [21:29] Quicksilva, run a search for iphone on ubuntuforums.org [21:29] im trying !iphone [21:29] kk [21:29] Quicksilva, i'm pretty sure that the activation servers are still hosed [21:30] Quicksilva: i have no idea [21:30] anybody lend a hand with PXE? [21:30] Quicksilva, you can always install vmware or virtualbox (PUEL) XP and use USB2.0 passthrough. and virtualbox supports seemless integration out of the box to make it act like a wine window under Ubuntu [21:30] failure: pxe boot? [21:30] ok Stormx2 ill search there [21:30] pxe install. [21:30] syscode, do you have a PCI NIC card, or is it built in to the motherboard? [21:30] failure: FAI via pxe, correct ? [21:30] xtknight: do you know if the remastered livecd can be larger than 650MB? i mean if I decided to add alot of packages and they take lets say 1GB.. would it be a problem to make it a DVD iso?!! I know liveCD can boot from DVD.. but i wonder if the size of the actual image matters?! [21:30] Quicksilva: if you go the VM route use virtualbox from their website not from the repos. [21:30] syscode, also, are you on a desktop or a laptio [21:30] laptop* [21:30] Stormx2: its in the motherboard [21:30] i need to find a reference for all of the available "append" commands for the pxelinux.cfg/default file [21:31] hello, i have shared a folder on my ubuntu desktop, i connected the laptop to form a network with the desktop, how can i access my linux shares from the linux laptop ?

Any ideas as to what could be causing this? It used to work fine. [21:43] Stormx2: the name of the 64bit distro [21:43] Sylphid|work: set mtu to 1394 on network/interfaces - but no joy...

I came very close to getting a core duo system. ohhh...you mean the distro? yeah, 64-bit amd-specific build. [21:44] cc77: IMHO the only concern would be memory consumption [21:44] syscode, try ping -s 1300 google.com [21:44] No, I didn't mean the distro. I don't know what atlef is on about. [21:44] regeya, why amd?3 [21:44] huy_: possibly, but im not sure what could have changed recently to make it a new issue [21:44] doc file lang file plugins file save file jttl_audio.conf mupen64 with cog looking things mupen64.ini the icon and a txt [21:44] atlef, AMD is a processor manufacturer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD [21:45] cc77: as long as you arent planning on using any demanding 3d applications you should be fine with 1 GB of RAM perhaps even less.

[21:45] Stormx2: but the name of the ubuntu 64bit cd is amd64 [21:45] atlef, I know. What's your point?

[21:46] StormX2: Uh... okay: Someone said "I have my amd64 cd burnt already; last of the parts should arrive on monday. this will replace a used athlon xp machine that just burnt a psu." Then you said, "Why AMD?" [21:46] cc77: not much on a modern PC [21:46] nixnoob, No I´m thinking of ubuntu worstation working with vmware sever, hosting OS's. No 3D stuff at all. [21:46] syscode, try using 1350 [21:47] Stormx2: ah, you are going to suggest a intel [21:47] McShane, he also said wish me luck; I'll be building an athlon 64 x2 system this coming week ;-) [21:47] *an [21:47] cc77: another benefit of having XWindows on a server is that you could run other servers within Virtual Machines [21:47] jedi you think that script is safe? [21:47] i tried 64 cd, couldn't find the driver for my wireless card, hahahaha [21:47] cc77: if you dont have a dedicated graphics chip you will need a bunch of RAM. [21:47] hehe...okay, guys, I answered Stormx2's question, sorta. No particular reason. I had seriously considered getting a Core Duo machine, but went with an athon 64 system. meh...aside from that, I have no interest in participating in a flamewar, so let me elaborate that I've bought a pile of parts online and for that reason am asking for luck :-> [21:47] cc77: like i said it depends on what you want to do, i give my VM's 400 MB ram each and its more than enough. [21:48] regeya, I hope you downloaded the mobo manual! I'm getting a new machine on monday, everything except for a case. [21:48] mainly I'm happy to be getting hardware...but we've strayed too far offtopic. in all seriousness, does anyone have a major pitfall I should watch out for on the amd64 distro? [21:48] Stormx2, right... But since this is a software support channel, one assumes that you are referring to software instead of hardware [21:48] how do i add windows to my bootloader [21:48] whats a good programme for burning a video dvd out of mp4 files? [21:48] how come I can't lsiten to amarok while I listen to a youtube flash video, on gnome === bsund_ is now known as bsund [21:48] regeya: Stormx2: no need for us to get in a flamewar [21:48] cc77: i have ubuntu desktop and a windows VM my machine has 2GB RAM/ [21:48] font rendering.. any one know how to improve it? [21:48] nixnoob, my question was based on should I use ubuntu server or ubuntu workstation for my remote vmware server. Both situations have onboard graphics. [21:48] I just installed some linux headers and tried to compile a module and got the error "scripts/genksyms/genksyms: not found [21:48] i did not mean anything by this [21:48] hey, anyone here from Qatar? :D [21:48] Hey, is there a way to limit the speed of a cd rom drive on read?

[21:49] there is a scripts/genksyms directory in the headers folder, but no script... where is is? [21:49] have anyone tried ubuntu and vista with VM?

[21:50] and with that...I'm irc'ing on the job, am now going to sneak away from the office :-> [21:50] no one? how come I can't lsiten to amarok while I listen to a youtube flash video, on gnome [21:50] cc77: with that much RAM you need not worry about the GUI overhead it will make little difference [21:50] regeya, no, me either.
