[00:00] unop, the 2nd line of output has gone from the pastebin, but the third was is still there. And it still fails to kill fuser. [00:00] WelshDragon, damn. try this. for i in 15 2 1 3 9; do kill -$i $(pidof fuser); done [00:00] help me plz [00:00] help me plz [00:00] Guest49700: i should wait a bit at least to say that :) what do u mean wine doors? [00:00] Still not killed it unop [00:00] WelshDragon, the third one is just the grep line you just used -- that's not a problem [00:01] WelshDragon, what does this return? jobs -l [00:01] Nothing [00:01] oh i didnt know about wine doors how exciting :P [00:01] hello, are the pulse audio features enabled by default in 8.04? [00:01] WelshDragon, not sure what to do then. why do you need this process killing? [00:02] Do you guys think reading Rute is a good starting point for learning ubuntu? [00:02] unop, my load averages are 8. And it's the only possible thing i could think that's causing them to be so high. [00:02] Good evening all [00:03] WelshDragon, it's probably not likely - you could ask about this in , #debian #linux and #bash perhaps [00:03] p00zer, what do you want to learn? [00:03] Does anybody know of a recovery program to take files from a broken windows installation? At the moment, my copy of ubuntu can't mount my windows partition because windows can't start up properly. [00:03] kk, will try unop, Thanks for your help :) [00:04] is there any way to stop linux caching to ram? I'm running Ubuntu in vmware, and have assigned it a healthy 1.5GB, but with the caching, it's stealing the ram away from the host os. [00:04] everything :) [00:04] !hello [00:04] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:05] I'd say just use the OS for a while and get confortable with it [00:05] WelshDragon, just a though, since kill defaults to bash's builtin -- you could try the kill at /bin/kill [00:05] What is a good web-based remote apache administration package? [00:05] writing / executing scripts [00:05] >=( mysql angers me [00:05] !training [00:05] A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [00:05] troythetechguy: A small explain about... see, / is where the system and all software is installed, they don't take toooo much space, sooo / have should be smaller than /home because in /home you store all your data. Swap is just an helper ( ) that system uses for memory related operations like transfering, etc. it is recommended that you give to it RAM X 2 of disk space... [00:05] WelshDragon, damn. try this. for i in 15 2 1 3 9; do $(which kill) -$i $(pidof fuser); done [00:05] ah [00:05] I think i've found a bug report tool bug. Whenever I try to open it, it displays an error saying it requires that i supply an --appname or --package argument [00:05] Still not luck unop :( heh, i'll try #linux :) [00:05] yeah, then get a book/tutorial for whatever language you decide on learning [00:06] p00zer Try /join #bash [00:06] is rute pretty much just learning how to use the terminal? [00:06] hello, are the pulse audio features enabled by default in 8.04 and how do i access them? [00:06] debCarlos: Thanks for the explanation, that helps. [00:06] can someone help me with this (06:58:03 PM) khsurati: Hey, guys I am new to linux and and need help with something. Ubuntu's site led me to this. When I try playing dvd in VCL i get a "parental setting" message that wont let me continue. VCL has no options for parental setting. So i am assuming now that it has something to do with ubuntu. has anyone encountered this? [00:06] does anyone know how to make my porn download faster in linux? [00:06] !ot > con-man [00:06] p00zer, http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide [00:06] con-man, please see my private message [00:06] troll [00:06] why i cant beleive how that guest couldn't install wine doors its so simple [00:07] I need to find a good web-based apache administration package. Any suggestions? [00:07] thanks [00:07] troythetechguy: yep, it's good to know some basics about the OS you're running [00:07] acecase: webmin is a commonly used one, that does much more than just apache. [00:07] andresj: depending on your system languages or other variable, it can be impossible to install it correctely. [00:08] twin view question - in windows i was able to have my whole screen on tv although i had a much higher resolution set on my monitor. windows "shrunk" the display to fit on the tv. but linux doesn't do it... can it do that? [00:08] WalloO: oh really? I just installed the package and it worked straight away :) [00:08] Lunar_Lamp webmin is a bad idea [00:09] !webmin [00:09] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [00:09] !pulseaudio [00:09] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [00:09] i thought pulse audio came with 8.04 by default [00:09] Soul_Sample: you can display 1024*768 screens on your TV and computer screen at the same time. I have a nvidia xorg.conf set to do that [00:09] WalloO: but i have an lcd monitor and everything below 1280 1024 doesn't look sharp [00:10] andresj: it never worked perfectely out of the box for me. So I avoid using it now [00:10] WalloO: oh what problem did it say? just curious [00:10] Lunar_Lamp: thank you [00:10] Soul_Sample: do you hacve nvidia or ati card? [00:10] how do i access pulse audio features/config? [00:10] WalloO: nvidia [00:10] andresj: problem with the automatic install system, path, etc... [00:10] acecase: check out Jack_Sparrow's comment earlier - I wasn't aware of it. [00:11] oh ic ic [00:11] !firefox3 [00:11] Firefox 3 Final is currently in the Hardy package repositories. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. [00:11] does anyone know if icebb has an offiial channel? [00:11] Soul_Sample: have you tried to use nvidia proprietary drivers and nvidia-settings software (use sudo nvidia-settings) [00:11] mysql is being a b!tch [00:11] but i want to install firefox 3 final for 7.10 [00:11] !language | meoblast001 [00:11] meoblast001: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

Where do i customize it? My volume doesn't seem as loud after instaling 8.04 [00:17] meoblast001: get over it and try the command. [00:17] meoblast001, welcome to the channel that's pretty much what they do here [00:18] this may be more of a networking question, but here goes: I have an ubuntu box that I'm using as a router (among other things). The ubuntu box, called jake, is running a local network on 192.168.2.0/24. On that network I attached a linksys wrt600n. The linksys router/wireless server is serving up the 192.168.4.0/24 on its "LAN" side and getting a reserved 192.168.2.10 address on its "WAN" side from jake. I added a route to the 1 [00:18] Gnea, try to be nicer [00:18] m'enfin je crois que le groupe a fait une musique pour l'ost [00:18] Satsuki: ben c'est X c'est le groupe qui a fait la chassons de la serie X. [00:18] Satsuki, english only please. [00:18] WalloO, please speak english this isn't internation support [00:18] (yes! lol) [00:18] to clarify, I can't reach the 192.168.4.x network from the 192.168.2.x network [00:18] although I do understand french.. raised in Quebec... lol [00:18] !ru | _Hot-logic_ [00:18] _Hot-logic_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [00:18] Gnea: too much output and its all unorgainzed [00:19] meoblast001: can you pastebin? [00:19] Gnea: yeah i guess.... you'll have to give me a second i'm VNCing my server [00:20] Satsuki: anyway... A good thing for manga fan is to go to Japan... They are too crazy... But it's quite fun to go theire. Tokyo is a funny city. But it's hard since people speak mainly Japanese and not so much english... and you can't read enything, even restaurent menus... :) [00:20] meoblast001: no problem. [00:20] foug, install those packages, and dpkg -L will tell you the executables. Most should show up in the menus [00:20] Q: what is the most basic configuration I need to stream a Ogg audio file over the network? [00:20] dang i accidently clicked the evolution thingy on my "quick select" or whatever the GNOME equivalent is [00:21] Gnea: as much as i hate fedora, this was one thing that was easier [00:22] nickrud: so, basically i have to install extra packages to customize pulse audio which is enabled by default in 8.04? [00:23] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/d27127178 [00:23] foug, yes. Some said it was that the tools were too rough, that they had poor interfaces. Others said there was no reason to customize it. [00:24] foug, all third hand opinion on my part [00:24] hi all. My USB mouse freezes at random intervals once I'm at the desktop. I've tried booting with no apic, no acpi, etc. with the same result. Any ideas? [00:24] nickrud: where do i go to increase my volume? it';s not under "sound" [00:25] Where do I tell samba what network interface to use.. I seem to remember it not being in smb.conf? [00:25] oshu: try disabling desktop effects just to see [00:25] I'm having an issue with a computer not showing the screen properly on a 19" widescreen. 1280x768 stretched to fit teh monitor right now, but would like it to be 1440x900. ATI drivers were installed but the GUI dooens't show an option for setting 1440x900. The machine is at a friends but i have full SSH access at the moment. Anyone have any ideas? [00:25] meoblast001: hrm, looks like you've been able to hit it with a web browser just fine. have you tried plugging the error message into google? [00:25] Anyone know when Ubuntu is going to fix the supidity of telling users to restart computer just because X11 has updated. [00:25] Gnea: yes..... i tried what it said [00:25] that's not stupidiity [00:26] Gnea: last time i got an error like this.. it was because i didnt have php5-mysql [00:26] X11 is something major it's only the major stuff that needs a re boot unlike Windows [00:26] i checked [00:26] i have it [00:26] frieze, so, is ubuntu the router in question now, sounds to me like the linksys thing is the router as it connects those two subnets up ? [00:26] SebNaitsabes: Why not just restart X? [00:26] Cale: good point [00:26] WalloO: is that a common problem with it? I am not at that computer right now [00:26] foug, I'm no expert. Mine works well, so I've had no reason to mess with it much. I would try running pavucontrol , and paman , and paprefs. apt-cache show tells you what they are [00:26] meoblast001: hrm, it could've been asking for a certain version (the package manager can be picky like that at times) [00:27] Gnea: time to open synaptic =( [00:27] what is the command for the codecs for the browsers to run youtube and such? [00:27] Gnea: dang it... now weather [00:27] unop: sorta...the ubuntu box has 192.168.2.1 and runs that network. the linksys has 192 [00:27] nickrud: AHHHH YES! pavucontrol is what i was looking for. Now my music is back to being loud, thank you very much man [00:27] .168.4.1 and runs that one. its the internetworking that's vexing me [00:27] oshu: with desktop effects, when your CPU is overloaded, it may slow down mouse reactivity. I got it with my Athlon 2500+. Thios problem disapeared with my quad core Q6600. [00:28] frieze, so what connects the ubuntu machine to the linksys router? [00:28] nvidia 3d acceleration used to work fo rme; now, i am using xinerama, and i get crap for glxgears (200fps, instead of 2k fps) ... does xinerama kill nvidia 3d accelera5tion? [00:28] frieze, and what network is that connection on? 192.168.2.0/24 ? [00:28] Hmm, is there a way to "refresh" the dns configuration so it'd recognize changes in /etc/resolv.conf? [00:29] wuxia: with nvidia card use twinview and not xinerama [00:29] !twinview | wuxia [00:29] wuxia: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [00:29] the ubuntu router is plugged into a switch that is plugged into the "WAN" port on the linksys router. that side of the linksys router is getting the address 192.168.2.10 [00:29] WalloO: would that cause the mouse to completely stop working at that point? The effets seemed smooth to me, but I hadn't considered that. [00:30] hi. how do i set the resolution higher than 800x600? [00:30] frieze: an Ubuntu router hummmmmmmmmmm there are better OS's you can use as a router :) I mean OS's that are more specific for routers and firewalls [00:30] foug, thanks for the feedback, I'll know which to recommend now ;) [00:30] !resolution [00:30] Gnea: should i just install every PHP and MySQL plugin known to man? [00:30] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [00:30] oshu: for me during CPU high load the mouse blocks for a few seconds or fraction of seconds then continue working [00:31] frieze, so, can the linksys router ping jake and vice-versa? [00:31] frieze, and can hosts on 192.168.4.0 ping the linksys router? [00:31] yes [00:31] meoblast001: not sure that'll work, but i suppose it couldn't hurt [00:31] and jake can ping the linksys router [00:31] frieze, sounds to me like NAT is not enabled or not working on the linksys router [00:31] on its 192.168.2.10 address [00:32] frieze, have you verified that NAT is in operation? [00:32] slm [00:32] WalloO: ah okay.. Mine actually turns off completely from that point on. I'll try turning off effects though, thanks. [00:32] hı [00:32] Gnea: im installing GUI mysql tools, they usually confront you with the problem immediately when opened [00:32] oshu: maybe it'S your X11 which freeze, not just the mouse [00:33] forkbomb? O_o [00:33] frieze, some SOHO routers can do without NAT -- if your linksys router can do without it, try that too - make it operate as a simple router === RaceCondition is now known as RaceCondition|aw [00:33] is there a way to "scale" my image on tv to see the whole screen, although my tv displays 1024x768 and my monitor 1280x1024? [00:34] WalloO: nope, that's what is so strange; my USB keyboard keeps working, and my desktop isn't affected at all - just no mouse.. [00:34] would anyone want to guide a semi newbie through installing twonky media? [00:34] twonky vision* [00:35] * vanityvertigo is away: I'm busy [00:35] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/dec89b1d [00:35] * vanityvertigo is back (gone 00:00:06) [00:35] * WalloO test [00:36] unop: yeah, btu I need to keep the two subnets segregated. The reason I'm plugging another router into my ubuntu router is so I can give it a different address pool and filter its traffic [00:36] how do i delete these old ip/hostname matchups in samba? [00:36] * vanityvertigo is away: I'm busy [00:36] everytime i try to connect by name with samba, is got a wrong ip associated with the hostmask [00:36] !away > vanityvertigo [00:36] vanityvertigo, please see my private message [00:36] meoblast001: and this occurs from what application? [00:36] must be a db in /var or something [00:37] Gnea: MySQL Administrator [00:37] frieze, you can do all those without the need for NAT -- a router keeps subnets segregated, that's its job (or rather, it connects segregated subnets up) [00:37] It is stupidty X11 can be restarted while linux is running. Its stupid that Ubuntu makes users wait threw a full reboot when drop to console type a few commands can fix it. No reboot required. Ie they need to provide a better way. [00:37] now that i think about it, i think that version of IceBB might have an error [00:37] hey what is the best screen recorder app for ubuntu? [00:37] Hi, I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu (hardy) to recognize my MTP mp3 player - lsusb says it's there, and mtp-detect sees it, but I can't get it to mount. [00:37] frieze, so NAT is in operation? [00:37] dante123: none... the best one i can find crashes upon stopping [00:37] oiaohm, very true. You can do that anytime you're aware of the console way [00:38] unop: yes, but I'd need to add another interface to my router to have it keep the traffic from two subnets apart then right? [00:38] Have problem with compiz. Cube doesn't work. Neverball works smooth, effects are ok, but Cube doesn't. Where could be the problem? [00:38] meoblast001: it's better to connect via the socket, if it's on the same system [00:38] meoblast001 i just tried recordmydesktop and it works okay....but I hate command line [00:38] unop: that is kinda my question. Traffic can go form the 4.x network to the 2.x network and beyond okay, the other way, not so much [00:38] dante123: if it wasnt for the bugs... istanbul would be great... try it out.. maybe the bugs wont effect your system [00:38] fantomas, you enabled both cube and rotate cube in Advanced Desktop Settings? [00:39] did you try to use adept gui, search for usb, install ? [00:39] just tried it out on laptop...and it flashes and takes lousy video. Will try on another pc [00:39] frieze, this sounds like a NAT issue - are you saying a host on the 2.x network can browse shares and whatnot on a 4.x network, pings included? [00:39] nickrud still normal users should not be forced threw the reboot. Its a design flaw. [00:39] meoblast001 just tried it out on laptop...and it flashes and takes lousy video. Will try on another pc [00:39] oiaohm, what are you speaking of, accelerated video drivers? Or what? [00:39] ( Adept manager) [00:39] Gnea: dante123: i have to leave... ill be back on later [00:40] frieze, if linksys's WAN side is on the 2.x network and the LAN side on the 4.x network -- i don't see the need to add another interface [00:40] alraune: no, I'll go install Adept manager and get back to you, thanks [00:40] nickrud: haha... +1 THANK YOU [00:40] frieze, if you want the 2.x network to access the 4.x network freely, NAT needs to be disabled on the linksys router [00:40] How do I halt/stop X11 all together? [00:40] dante123: recordmydesktop is in the repo's, also gtk-recordmydesktop (GTK frontend) or krecordmydesktop (KDE frontend) [00:40] stopher: to run Gnome or KDE you need X running [00:40] stopher, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop [00:41] stopher: but when logged out you can re start X [00:41] stopher, ctl-atl-f2, login, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop. do your nvidia thing. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm to restart X [00:41] i'm in terinal seb, so i don't need it :) [00:41] stopher: you can re start or stop X and log back in again [00:41] stopher: ctrl-alt-backspace (it will restart on its own if the ?dm is still running tho) [00:41] thanks :) [00:41] /etc/init.d/?dm restart [00:41] is there a way to "scale" my image on tv to see the whole screen, although my tv displays 1024x768 and my monitor 1280x1024? [00:41] stopher: which is nice, because it will re-read the xorg.conf :) [00:42] Only reason to reboot Linux nickrud is a kernel replacement. Catch is ubuntu is rebooting a lot more often than that. [00:42] Or a major lockup. [00:42] or an update to HAL [00:42] No HAL can be done without a reboot. [00:42] frieze, can i ask why you are using the linksys router anyway? can't you just use a switch and have your ubuntu box route between the 2.x and 4.x networks? that'd be much simpler, actually === gawry__ is now known as gawry [00:42] oiaohm: it seems that people, transitioning from a wintendo environment, find the reboots comfortable and refreshing, for the time being [00:43] This is the complete issue SebNaitsabes lot more reboots than there should be. [00:43] oiaohm, and libc6. hal yes, with some tweaking. I'm sure the motu's would appreciate help with the necessary infrastructure. [00:43] There is only 2 resons for a complete reboot. [00:43] oiahm; Windows users are used to re booting for nearlly everything though oh I put on program name goes here, oh now I need to re boot [00:43] There is a reason why Linux has run levels. [00:43] i say there's 3 reasons. === RaceCondition|aw is now known as RaceCondition [00:43] In theory you can swap to a run level with nothing. [00:43] !ot | nickrud SebNaitsabes oiaohm Gnea (see you there) [00:43] nickrud SebNaitsabes oiaohm Gnea (see you there): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:44] oiaohm, a libc change might require a reboot - or close enough, restarting all services [00:44] Then swap back to your correct run level restarting everything back up no reboot. [00:44] oiaohm: kernels, new hardware... and you forgot power outages :) [00:44] libc no reboot [00:44] dump RUNLEVEL > /dev/null [00:44] can i use virtualbox-ose to emulate a 64 bit operating system inside 64 bit ubuntu? [00:44] At most restarting all services. [00:44] I think virutalbox has limted or no 64bit support at the moment [00:44] s3a, yes, or 64bit os inside 32bit ubuntu on a 64bit chip [00:44] nickrud: we are discussing how ubuntu operates, it's hardly off-topic. [00:45] Gnea, it's offtopic regarding support. I'm looking for you all in there ;) [00:45] That can be upto 40 secounds extra unop [00:45] actually i had problems in 32 bit wqith 64 cpu [00:45] Doing a reboot. [00:45] nickrud: educating users to these facts is, in fact, supportive. ;) [00:45] alraune: what should I be looking for in the package list? [00:45] nickrud: well i have the intel pentium 4 630 and i have 64 bit ubuntu and virtualbox-ose gives me a problem wen trying to boot alpha2 intrepid amd64 [00:45] Gnea, it'll turn into a debate soon, that's why I'm trying to head it off [00:46] whoah [00:46] s3a, ask about intrepid on #ubuntu+1 [00:46] s3a, no telling what's wrong with that image [00:46] nickrud: i just want to make sure that we're in agreement here. the only debate will be what sort of PSU we all use, which, yes, I agree, that should be taken to the other channel. [00:46] nickrud: "This Kernel requires an x86-64 CPU but only detected an i1586 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU." [00:46] unop: sorry, bathroom break [00:47] usb >search [00:47] hey guys. need help setting up a dial up connection [00:47] !dialup [00:47] oiaohm, i know of another one, you inadvertently disable sudo - which a lot of people seem to do in here :) [00:47] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [00:47] What is the name of the compiz effect when you move mouse to upper right corner and all windows are shown? :) [00:47] fantomas: scale [00:47] ASULutzy: ty [00:47] fantomas: I believe [00:48] unop: the devices on the 4.x network are part of my home automation system need to do wifi using only wep. which kinda blows. want to keep them nice and separated even if the host is compromised. [00:48] alraune: I did that, and there's a list of packages that contain the term "usb" in their description - is there a specific one you recommend, or should I just get one that looks relevant? (usbmount looks like it might be it) [00:48] s3a, truly, intrepid questions belong on #ubuntu-1. [00:48] !usb [00:48] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:48] is there a way to "scale" my image on tv to see the whole screen, although my tv displays 1024x768 and my monitor 1280x1024? [00:48] ASULutzy: looks like it has another name. All 'scale' effects are turned on [00:49] fantomas: No, it's scale, you need to set the edge trigger [00:49] !tv [00:49] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [00:49] frieze, well, in either case, if you want free access across those two subnets, you'll have to do away with NAT on the linksys box [00:49] fantomas: Go to bindings inside the scale plugin, and then change initiate window picker to topLeft, etc [00:49] I can mount various mp3 players an have installed : [00:49] ASULutzy: sorry, you are right. Bindings are not set [00:50] fantomas: no problem ;) [00:50] Next is, is there an apt command i can use that will flush X11 and reinstall it, getting rid of the changes i made? I'm getting "Out of Freq" on my monitor. That' worse than what it was befoer! gah [00:50] if anyone can help me with dial-up setup, start a private chat [00:50] hey folks, trying to delete a user completely when I try to delete the users home dir (/home/user/) I am unable to remove the subdirectory: .gvfs [00:50] !dialup | Ed54 [00:50] Ed54: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [00:50] frieze, my belkin router can operate as an access point only -- my debian box does the routing - which was what i was getting at, using your ubuntu box as the sole router [00:50] joshual: Are you using sudo? [00:50] stopher, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg will return you to a default config [00:50] libusb++01-4c2 (or so ) and.. [00:50] hello is there a problem with sdhc cards and ubuntu? [00:50] ASULutzy: have you fixed the problen with iptables? :) [00:50] !sdhc [00:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about sdhc [00:51] @src sequence_ [00:51] joshual, mount | grep gvfs , see if it's still mounted [00:51] evening all [00:51] fantomas: Yea, it was something dumb ;) I flushed them and the default rule was to block all, but then when I restarted firestarter restored the old rules... Basically I forgot that I had installed firestarter a long time ago; that's where all those rules came from [00:51] thanks nick [00:51] nickrud: ok thx [00:51] I have a very strange problem with my logins, don't know if anyone can help [00:52] what's the problem? [00:52] Basically every time I su or login, I get an error saying 'Failed to add entry for user ' [00:52] ASULutzy: okay. Actually the most clear way to handle firewall rules which I found is using iptables-restore/save [00:52] !logon [00:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about logon [00:52] !login [00:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about login [00:52] google gives me very little, apart from samba errors. I've just been playing around with samba, which does not work at all with 8.04 [00:52] wiijii: su? You're trying to login as root? [00:52] ubottu: i did alll of the steps here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html. i'm having trouble with the commands for installing gnome-ppp [00:52] Ed54: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:53] !botabuse > SebNaitsabes [00:53] SebNaitsabes, please see my private message [00:53] well, I'm logged in as user, but trying to su to root [00:53] I can su and login. but I get that error [00:53] well, warning [00:53] wiijii dont su to get root [00:53] wiijii: Well, by default there is no root password, and Ubuntu is all about using sudo, not su [00:53] * vjoe bye [00:53] Let me rephrase the question Ubuntu has no problem reading a CF card but when it come to a sd high capacity card it does not read it does anyone know how to handle this? [00:53] !how do i get ubuntu to hibernate and recover on notebook [00:53] oc80z: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:53] wiijii: Hence by default in /etc/shadow the root password hash doesn't exist [00:54] mhh, this is not cool, when I close my lid, my screen always locks on black [00:54] :S [00:54] !hibernate [00:54] Yeah, I've set a root password though [00:54] quit [00:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate [00:54] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html [00:54] MatBoy Research your video card and hibernation [00:54] ok, question, if i can't open any windows to like /home/ or /media/, what's wrong here? [00:54] i followed all the steps here, but i can't install gnome-ppp [00:54] nickrud [00:54] It's as if when I login as any user, or su to root, samba is trying to set the password for that user, and hence giving the 'failed to add entry' message [00:54] Jack_Sparrow: did that already, can't find it, gutsy didn't had the problem before [00:54] mount | grep gvfs [00:54] gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/joshual/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=joshual) [00:55] fxload and usbutils(!) [00:55] MatBoy What video card [00:55] Does anyone know of a solution to double download speeds by means of two connections, without using adsl bonding? I understand it'd be two IP's, but isn't it possible that each connection sould download alternately, effectively providing double the speed? [00:55] Jack_Sparrow: 855GM [00:55] alraune: alright, I'll get those three and get back to you, thanks so much! [00:55] MatBoy intel [00:55] if this doesn't work, I would try usbmount afterwards, too [00:55] ok, question, if i can't open any windows to like /home/ or /media/, what's wrong here? also, most applications fail to start [00:56] jack_sparrow okay I added the repo's with "sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list" and I then tried to find it in a package man but to no success so I did in term "sudo apt-get install skype" and still no success. do you know where I am going wrong? [00:56] MikeH, this should be asked about in #networking -- the implementation of any suggestions then asked in here [00:56] hi. i have a matrox mga card, the driver was installed automatically, but the xorg.conf was not altered. is tehre an option to do it automatically? [00:56] i have a software raid question? if i reinstall ubuntu will it see my raid?

[00:58] joshual, sudo umount /home/joshual/.gvfs , then you can remove the user [00:58] Simotempler, what did you use to get that information? [00:58] !Grub [00:58] 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 [00:58] I have 2 HD's (SATA), first one is for XP (4 partitions) and has GRUB installed, second is for vista and linux, I just installed 8.04 from livecd but I get error 17 after reboot [00:58] join /#ubuntu-fr [00:58] SebNaitsabes i deleted my linux partition and grub wont let me boot at all..so i was hoping through a livecd to use ms-sys to get windows to boot again [00:58] unop: I understand this, but things that use multiple connections, such as p2p stuff, would effectively be doubled? [00:59] <_jdd_> Palace_Chan: asus p4s333? [00:59] an irish ISP tester which lists my ISP [00:59] Palace_Chan: ah yes [00:59] i ran ms-sys -m dev/sda...wonder if i can just shut down now though and the changes i made wont revert [00:59] Palace_Chan: you just have Windows on there? and since Grub has been deleted except for the bit in the MBR you cannot boot [00:59] join/ #ubuntu-fr [00:59] SebNaitsabes exactly [00:59] hellos all [00:59] nickrud: awesome worked, but why was it mounting? it's not in fstab? I thought I removed gmailfs ... if not is there anything I need to do so I have removed it all? [00:59] im back [00:59] Palace_Chan: that's pretty easy to sort out so you can boot Windows again, however before I tell you how :) why did you get rid of Linux? [01:00] Blaqlight is that good enough for a 3Mb internet connection [01:00] SebNaitsabes i just wrote to the master boot record from a livecd, i hope all i have to do now is shut down [01:00] SebNaitsabes because im changing laptops and im giving that one to my mom [01:00] SebNaitsabes she is not a linux user [01:00] k so im running ubuntu server (8.04.1) and i have a 6tb raid tower attached to the server, i cannot format the entire drive since its too big, but apparently i can use it using parted, the problem is that parted crashes with every command i give it, here is a sample output which should have just printed the partition table: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27604/ [01:00] Simotempler, seems like it [01:00] #ubuntu-pl === klingon_ is now known as klingon [01:00] Palace_Chan: well depending on what she uses her computer for, it could be a good idea to have Ubuntu. anyway what has happended is since you have deleted the Linxu parittoin [01:00] joshual, that's part of the gnome virtual file system, I haven't actually learned much more about it than it's name, it mounts there, and is supposed to clear up some race conditions and allow for more elegant usage of the file manager. [01:00] SebNaitsabes the one im on right now has hardy, but i have to return my old laptop to "as new" [01:00] anyone have any leads? :) [01:01] MikeH, bandwidth is doubled yes, speed depends on the line used per connection -- but, yes, things that use multiple connections will be allocated either of the lines to use and that's almost random [01:01] 2621 should it not be about 3000 [01:01] or have i calculated wrong [01:01] Palace_Chan: since you deleted Linux bye bye went the /boot/media/grub folder stuff [01:01] alraune: I'm still not entirely sure what I'm doing, I don't see any change in how it's behaving [01:01] Bits bytes [01:01] Palace_Chan: also Grub for Windows I expect has a partition number that well does not exist anymore hence why that won't boot [01:01] SebNaitsabes so during grub loading i just get grub error 17 and stuck [01:02] Palace_Chan, do you have a windows disk? [01:02] Palace_Chan: you deleted part of Grub [01:02] if i reinstall my ubuntu is there a way to make it see my software raid and use it again? [01:02] Palace_Chan: however it will still leave what's on the MBR. [01:02] master_of_master, smaller partitions [01:02] unop: Is there no way of setting priority? Such as to use one connection, until saturated, then start using the secondary connection? The reason being, I'm moving, pretty much opposite to my office, It'd be nice to take advantage of two available connections. [01:02] Palace_Chan: if you have a Windows CD. you can let Windows fix it's bootloader like that [01:03] Place_Chan: yes the Windows CD can go over what's left of Grub on the MBR. and then it will only boot Windows [01:03] unop: However, I'd like to use my fixed connection primarily, for various reasons of reliability, and speed. [01:03] SebNaitsabes right but i didnt (only a system cd with two recovery cd's that wont prompt me for anythng, just reformat partition 1 and reinstall xp) [01:03] Is there a solution for remedying ubuntu from not recognizing a sd high capacity card? [01:03] try sudo apt-get install usbmount [01:03] Palace_Chan: you can re install XP. or just let it fix the bootloade from the CD [01:04] Palace_Chan: but yes re installing XP will make Grub go completly bye bye [01:04] alraune: already done [01:04] safe mode f8 [01:04] what manufacturer is the mp3 from ? [01:04] MikeH, not with iptables and round-robin no .. you might like to ask about this in #networking and ##linux [01:04] kdavid, Is it a built in reader or external USB reader? [01:04] it's a Creative Zen Nomad, I can give you the lsusb info if you want [01:04] unop: Ok, thanks [01:04] SebNaitsabes though i did that with system cd and two recov cd's and while it reformatted away partition 1 and set up xp there..no prompts for fixmrb or anything, no fix [01:04] alraune: ^^^ [01:04] Hey anyone have any idea on how to get a web cam connected to a java video chat site. [01:04] Palace_Chan, safe mode f8 [01:04] how do I enable compiz in hardy [01:04] #ubuntu-fr/join [01:05] I have downloaded camorama so I can use the webcam in MY computer [01:05] lsusb ...

[01:05] Hello all, looking for help with a GeForce 9500M GS. I'm only getting around 5k FPS In GLXGEARS, which is way under what I should be getting afaik. The version string in glxinfo sas 169.12, so I'm guessing my card shouldn't really even be supported. Someone mind pointing me either to a good howto for the correct drivers or correcting me if I'm wrong? [01:06] kdavid, With Ubuntu I mean [01:06] i am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i am wondering a good tool to copy over many (hundreds of thousands) of small files from one machine to another [01:06] where machine B already has a good subset of the files - I just want to copy over the missing ones [01:06] Yes it accepts the cf in ubuntu fine [01:06] it seems like rsync will take a bit too long to create the initial filelist [01:06] alraune: lsusb is just the command that lists all usb devices attached. That's the issue: it sees that it's there, but I can't get it to mount [01:06] scp has no option to not copy over existing files ... (which would be ok, but seems like waste of bandwidth) .... any ideas? [01:06] SebNaitsabes does that mean my MBR is ok now ? [01:06] damn it, help me :) [01:06] but not the sdhc card [01:07] sylvisj, What is the output of "glxinfo | grep direct" ? [01:07] Palace_Chan: it means it has tryed to do smoethign, but if you still got Grub when you turn the computer or re boot, well then that didn't work [01:07] 4gig card [01:07] sylvisj; with a nVidia 7600GT i'm getting 6500FPS average [01:07] jlivni: use sftp instead? [01:07] SebNaitsabes ugh i HOPE it works because the livecd is SLOW and i have to donwload, make, and install ms-sys and for that i need to install build-essential and gettext packages [01:07] Flannel: hmm ... not a bad idea. i assume i can do a nice recursive mput with that [01:07] so its a big hassle [01:08] Palace_Chan: Have you got an XP CD? [01:08] Palace_Chan, You don't need to compile ms-sys, it's available in the repos [01:08] Jordan_U: yes on direct rendering [01:08] Recovery Console, fixmbr, fixboot [01:08] bastid_raZor: I know. My 8800GTS gets well over 14k fps. [01:08] SebNaitsabes no, only a "system cd" with two recovery cd's that prompt me for nothing and just reformat my first partition and reinstall xp there [01:09] help with error 17 from grub, anyone? [01:09] Jordan_U i tried it in synaptic and sudo apt-get under ms-sys and found nothing [01:09] sylvisj; ahh, kinda makes me sad now. i thought i was doing well :} [01:09] maad im working with error 17 now, how;d you get it ? [01:09] sudo apt-get install gnomad2 === Guest81484 is now known as BlazeCamilo [01:09] Palce_Chan: do what these guys are saying then [01:09] bastid_raZor: :P mobile cards tend to be pretty slow, but there's no reason a geforce 9 series mobile would be slower than a 7 series mobile [01:09] Palace_Chan: can i msg you? [01:10] I suppose I'll be either waiting for Jordan_U to return, or osmeone else who knows their drivers to help me. [01:10] jordan did you leave? [01:10] evil_tech how do i get to the recovery console ? [01:10] then sudo vi /etc/hotplug/usb/nomadjukebox.usermap. [01:10] alraune: OH, there's a package for nomads! awesome! [01:10] maad: he can't help you [01:10] Palace_Chan: you need an XP install disc [01:10] kdavid, if jordan left, how is he supposed to answer? [01:10] evil_tech with my recovery cd's i am never prompted [01:10] Palace_Chan: have you got a i386 folder in the XP partition? [01:10] maad i have not fixed this problem myself [01:10] SebNaitsabes i do [01:10] SebNaitsabes: how do you know? [01:10] add : # nomad [01:10] good point [01:11] SebNaitsabes what abou tthat i386 folder ? [01:11] he was helping me but split [01:11] Palace_Chan: well you should be able to make an XP install disc out of that folder, but if the slightest thing goes wrong it wont work. also it's a bit compacted, but there is that tutorail uhmmmm I could find link, but [01:11] Hello everyone, I am having issue with my wireless card on my laptop while running Ubuntu, there is no linux driver I found the windows driver and installed it using that program that lets you use Windows drivers. It says that the wireless card is there, but I can't edit my wireless settings. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and my wireless card is a Realtek RTL8187B. Please help me! [01:11] SebNaitsabes tell you what, ill try rebooting to see if my ms-sys thing worked [01:12] ok [01:12] how do I enable compiz in xubuntu-desktop? [01:12] i just installed xbuntu 8.04 and have some issues with evolution and the gnome-keyring...gnome-keyring keeps running away with the cpu until i exit evolution [01:12] anyone having this problem [01:15] hey, i need help with installing gnome-ppp [01:15] Palace_Chan, system cd has xp on or it would not try to install xp at boot hit f8 to get safe mode the fixmbr or fixboot [01:15] Ed54: Getting winmodems to work under linux is usually a pain in the arse. The problem is not gnome-ppp but the model of your modem (PCTel) [01:15] !winmodems [01:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about winmodems [01:16] Palace_Chan: if you have another computer you can make a XP disc using Nlite with the I386 folder [01:16] probably better off finding someone with a real xp install disc though [01:16] dli: do you have all compiz related packages installed ? if so, run "compiz --replace &" from terminal to see if it works, after that you can add that command to the autostarted apps section ..

[01:19] last line is an example, yours is different, lsusb doesnt give full information [01:19] dli: not that i know off in xubuntu no, easily fixed though, adding the command takes 2 seconds :) [01:19] dli: does it work ? [01:19] alraune: alright, it's just a matter of figuring out how to configure gnomad2, I think i can figure it out from here [01:20] alraune: thanks so much for your help! [01:20] Hello everyone, I am having issue with my wireless card on my laptop while running Ubuntu, there is no linux driver I found the windows driver and installed it using that program that lets you use Windows drivers. It says that the wireless card is there, but I can't edit my wireless settings. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and my wireless card is a Realtek RTL8187B. Please help me! [01:20] SebNaitsabes it worked ! [01:20] glitsj16, gnome-2.22 auto-detects aiglx/composite, could be a trouble though, if you don't want compiz [01:20] you can try with the example, save n close vi, replug mp3...humm [01:20] Palce_Chan: so you got the Windows boot loader back? [01:20] SebNaitsabes i hope its permanent because i spent ALL DAY on this [01:21] SebNaitsabes apparently, i just rebooted and it booted xp just fine [01:21] Hi, all. I need your help regarding my beloved ubuntu installation. It doesn't boot anymore. When I enter in grub, it just goes to an never ending splash screen loop. I know I can just reintsall Ubuntu, but I also want to know how to troubleshoot it! Thank you [01:21] Palce_Chan: well yes how it works is some of Grub will be left in the MBR. and then you need another bootloader to go over the MBR one that also will boot Windows [01:21] Ed54: Enable universe repository and do sudo apt-get update to be able for it to then find gnome-ppp. But you might want to look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/PcTel as to why this could be an exercise in futility with the PCTel modems [01:21] glitsj16, I'm trying compiz on EEE-PC, quite fun [01:21] another possibility:http://perbu.livejournal.com/2012.html [01:22] how can I pipe ascii to serial port in terminal. eg. "cat text.txt| [01:23] alraune: awesome. I think I actually just got it working with gnomad [01:23] dli: don't go overboard with the settings though, compiz can hog you down, but it sure is great indeed ;) [01:23] Palace_Chan: should be pernament yes [01:23] <_jdd_> djhash: cat text > /dev/serialdevice i think [01:23] Anyone please? How can I troubleshoot my ubuntu. Where do I start? [01:24] does it mount now ? [01:24] _jdd_: thanx.. i think it worked.. gotta try it later.. [01:24] <_jdd_> np [01:24] nolo: First thing to decide is what is the problem which needs troubleshooting :) [01:25] Ow, I'm sorry. My message might have been truncated. This is what I asked earlier: [01:25] Hi, all. I need your help regarding my beloved ubuntu installation. It doesn't boot anymore. When I enter in grub, it just goes to an never ending splash screen loop. I know I can just reintsall Ubuntu, but I also want to know how to troubleshoot it! Thank you [01:25] alraune: well, gnomad recognizes its presence, and now it's just a matter of fiddling with that til it works [01:25] how can i tell i my computer recognizes that there is a CD/DVD in the drive?

It links to how to add medibuntu to your sources to get libcssdvd2 [01:33] I'm sorry, it doesnt say Waiting for root device. Its saying "waiting for root file system". How can I fix this problem? anyone please? Is there a channel that I can go to for someone to help me? If yes, please say what channel it is.

[01:37] sparr: Have you tried adding medibuntu to your sources list and getting libdvdcss2? [01:37] sparr Please take the discussion and opinions to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:37] wols: device.map says hd0 -> sda, hd1 -> sdb, but maybe it's wrong? [01:37] sparr: then take a hint before you get banned ;) [01:37] cdehaan: that's dpkg -i package.deb or gdebi [01:37] cdehaan: in that case apt isn't going to check for dependencies, try gdebi [01:38] glitsj16: Aah, gdebi, great. [01:38] maad: output fdisk -l ? [01:38] glitsj16: Thank you! [01:38] cdehaan: you're welcome [01:38] eramax you can use dd to make full backup [01:38] maad: output fdisk -l ?

[01:59] DroP-PsyChoSiS: You'll also need to reinstall linux-generic before upgrading to Intrepid (although update-manager should do it automatically, its a good idea to do it anyway). You can get away from having to manually install all that stffu by simply installing linux-generic, and then after thats installed, remove those two packages again. That will bring you up to date for that time. [01:59] it should be a bug [01:59] Flannel, kk thank you [01:59] Bleu`, When i type echo $USER it says my user name (not root) [01:59] ASULutzy, you should be careful with sudo and shell scripts :) do you know what is in the shell script?

[02:29] anteaya: nope , is there a reinstall command for terminal? i could try reinstalling firefox [02:29] bobertdos so they are saying all that crap to ward off people who are trying to sell ubuntu not the end user guy like me, so i can just click right through it? wow that is crazy [02:29] cygoku: there are several ... scale, ring switcher, shift switcher .. [02:29] showfire, Try "compiz --replace" and if that does not work temporarily disable compiz ( desktop effects ) with "metacity --replace" ( or turn it off in System ->prefs -> appearance ) [02:29] that did it [02:29] does anyone know how to adjust the shadow of windows from rear view of desktop cube? http://imagebin.ca/view/RcGduGT.html will explain better.

[02:30] glits16 : It's one where I can put my mouse pointer top right corner and see windows and choose with the pointer. [02:31] kcman: Well, it's not to ward off sellers. It's to ward off the companies who own the software and their patents, so that they don't rant and try to start suing people. [02:31] cygoku: usually scale is set to trigger on top right corner, but you can assign any other screen edge so i can't be sure [02:32] lii34 how do i fix the effect so that that portion of the screen shows up if i want to use them? [02:32] Any recommended easy to use IRC clients that can save states? I'm tired of Xchat and having to manually join channels all of the time [02:32] is there a way to find out if your web cam is V4? [02:32] sry anteaya , allreaddy reinstalled , and now it works just fine , thnx for the command dli [02:32] Mapler, xchat can auto-join [02:32] Mapler: irssi can too [02:32] chriswr, I am not sure what your problem with firefox is but instead of re-installing you can get a new default configuration by running "mv .mozilla .mozilla-bak" [02:32] !webcam [02:32] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [02:32] chriswr: np, glad you have what you need [02:33] glits16 : Scale it was, thank you !

[02:35] defDfloyd, yes, just set DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY [02:35] can anyone help me in setting up my IDE Iomega zip100 drive please [02:36] lii34 thanks anyways [02:36] anyone? :/ [02:36] bobertdos hey thanks for your help i had some trouble geting the keyring to install but i will have to mess with that later thanks for your help [02:36] DeFirence, , yes, just set DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY [02:37] :o [02:37] Newbie here.. can I ask a dumb question? [02:37] dli, how would i go about doing that? [02:37] cygoku: not exactly...........I don't think anyone really knows exactly why it's been having so many problems lately. [02:37] rkagerer, rather ask the question than asking to ask [02:37] !ask | rkagerer [02:37] rkagerer: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:37] Ok thank you all ! [02:37] when i run "apache2ctl status" it tells me "124: www-browser: not found" even though i installed the package it asked for. does anyone know what's wrong? http://pastie.org/234410 [02:38] DeFirence, you can type "who" to get idea about DISPLAY, :0.0 most likely === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [02:38] GMFlash: try sudo update-alternatives --config www-browser [02:38] rkagerer: That being said, welcome, newbie! What can I do for you? [02:38] maad is now known as rafalk42 [02:38] DeFirence, and XAUTHORITY is most likely to be ~/.XAuthority, but you'd better check your Xorg server command line [02:39] Sorry. Trying to list installed packages on Ubuntu server. Did "dpkg -l | more" but the piping screws up the formatting of the output. How can I page the output? [02:39] Flannel: says "no alternative for www-browser" [02:39] need help cleaning the open with app list. I have put in 3 versions onf the same app and need to get rid of the other two and only have the one listed. So any help cleaning this list would rock. [02:39] DeFirence, export the proper ENVs, then just issue the command [02:39] rkagerer: try less instead of more. Or put it into a file. [02:39] rkagerer: use '>> packages.txt' instead of '| more' it will save it to a file [02:40] Same effect with less. What's a good text editor that I should use to view the output file? (trying to cat it has same problem) [02:40] dli, meh, i dont have a clue how to do that so i suppose ill forget it :P [02:40] rkagerer: 'view file.txt' [02:40] hey why does nautilus cannot edit ftp files? It always says read only in gedit... In konqueror, when you edit ftp files on a text editor, you can save it directly to ftp... [02:41] to get out of view you need to know the vim command which is :q! [02:41] rkagerer, i don't think the formatting is changed -- it's just that your terminal is not big and long lines are wrapped around to fit [02:41] DeFirence, try: " DISPLAY=:0.0 XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority glxgears " [02:41] hmm. same thing. Everything seems to be outputting more than 80 characters per line resulting in unwanted wrapping. Any text editor that will NOT wrap the lines? [02:41] Ubuntu 8.04 sucks because I can't get my microphone sounding good and not static filled. [02:42] dli: Error: couldn't open display :0.0 [02:42] sorry I know this is a dumb question. It seems like there's something obvious I must be missing :) [02:42] DeFirence, that means your XAUTHORITY is not correct [02:42] hey why does nautilus cannot edit ftp files? It always says read only in gedit... In konqueror, when you edit ftp files on a text editor, you can save it directly to ftp... [02:42] rkagerer, dpkg -l | vim - # in vim type ESC :nowrap [02:42] how do i remove applications like PalmOS and evolution mail? I'm trying to remove then add/remove programs but it says other applications depend on them. [02:42] ?? [02:42] RazorBeamz, is that a question that you wish assistance on, or just a random flame? [02:43] /msg ubottu etiquette [02:43] foug: i don't think you can, as they say, because of dependencies. I do wish I could remove evolution though [02:43] dman: haha, seriously man. And the dictionary, the calculator... [02:44] jasonago, nautilus can mount ftp locations locally -- all you have to do then is use gedit on those files [02:44] unop: I tried but the gedit cannot edit the files.... [02:44] is it possible to restart PHP O_o? [02:44] dont think so [02:44] dli, where about should i start to give the correct XAUTHORITY [02:44] meoblast001, restart apache [02:45] unop: ok already did that [02:45] need help with wine [02:45] jasonago, no idea then [02:45] can some one pm me [02:45] unop: if im having PHP errors, should i just purge php and reinstall? [02:45] need help with wine [02:45] meoblast001, that's unlikely to solve the real problem [02:45] unop: im getting PHP Warning [2]: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /var/www/icebb/includes/database/mysql.db.php on line 429 [02:45] DeFirence, depends how you start X server [02:45] can anyone help me [02:45] jak0lyte: ?

[02:48] was i talking to Gnea earlier.... i think so.... well anyways... Gnea... if i was talking to you about PHP errors earlier.. it was because i was looking into the wrong directory of IceBB... i needed icebb/install/ not icebb/ === guyonubuntu is now known as l3d [02:48] Chrysalis: chown owner:group target [02:48] Chrysalis, or use the full form of chown. chown $USER:$GROUP /path/to/resource [02:48] need help cleaning the open with app list.

[02:52] jak0lyte: not really, but if its a simple issue, may be able to help. [02:52] BARBEESHA: do a $ ps aux and look for the process pid, then do $ kill -9 process_pid .

[02:58] ok /list is what I'm looking for but is it possible to limit the output to channels with say 20 users or more? I tried /help list but it didn't help much [02:58] TWood_:in the screen install,check media, memtest youll find something like prees Fx for boot options>ACPI=off [02:58] Sorlag: You may want to try emptying your trash from the terminal.

Sorry, man :/ [03:01] arvind_k: No it doesn't work on gnome...that's why i'm suspecting that something is wrong with gnome (or ubuntu) itself...kubuntu is enjoying those exchange of statuses for quite sometime now...

I've a problem with my card song [03:06] i dont know if i set it ip right [03:06] jak0lyte: I think you should try VirtualBox or QEMU.

I have put in 3 versions onf the same app and need to get rid of the other two and only have the one listed. So any help cleaning this list would rock. [03:11] what's the other ubuntu channel? I want to talk something about faqs for ubuntu...Information from bugs are coming all over places...there should be a one stop place for all our questions... [03:11] jak0lyte: do i need to buy a switch? can't i do it with the 3 cards? [03:11] i don't want to buy anything [03:11] ripps, that is sudo -i or sudo -s [03:11] Mongoose: have no specific experience with that, if nobody else answers, I'll dialogue you [03:12] Eno_ it is alot easier for you to have a switch [03:12] alraune: thanks [03:12] Koolaid Koolaid6: have you tried rebooting? [03:12] ripps: you still need to administer a root password :: ----> sudo passwd [03:12] can someone help me get a usb audio device to work, please? [03:12] yep [03:12] jak0lyte: i googled, and I got this .. check it out : http://www.anerty.net/news/ [03:12] Eno_: if you want to save money thats the only way, 3 LAN cards [03:12] as you are going to burn one nic for the internet connection and then another for the network [03:12] what should i look for on how to do this?

[03:14] ripps, how can you make that person root till you aint in his account [03:15] yeah but u still need to give "root" a password, typing sudo just tells it to "run as administrator" [03:15] Eno_: you can do with three cards, but a switch is about 10 EUR max ,much more comfortable, I'm too lazy for today... [03:15] alraune: no one seems to be up to the challenge [03:15] if you type sudo passwd it should give you a prompt for a new password, if it doesnt then theres one already set for root [03:15] Sorry if this is a newbie question but, for some weeks I'm having trouble to connect in the MSN network. Gtalk (XMMP) is ok, but I can't connect in MSN. I checked my login and password because I can login normaly at meebo.com.

[03:16] Koolaid, that command you said will let you change the password for root [03:16] yes and no [03:16] ripps [03:16] for doing it with three cards [03:16] i have ssh open but i have to start firestarter before i can login. i dont really understand why, anyone have any ideas? [03:16] s_spiff: still the same error [03:16] its just easier to give root a password and hit "su" instead of sudo all the time [03:16] jak0lyte: You can still go to the Wine homepage and try to search in the docs or in the FAQS [03:17] Mongoose: see dialog [03:17] Koolaid: this might help on some point...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [03:17] Koolaid: this might help on some point...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [03:17] debCarlos: thanks, i think ill w8 for a deb [03:17] ripps, -u The -u (user) option causes sudo to run the specified command as a [03:17] user other than root.

[03:23] arvind_khadri: i have my iptables setup, but the only way they go into affect is if i login my machine and start firestarter [03:23] arvind_khadri: so i cant ssh into my box unless im setting at it and login in and start firestarter [03:24] arvind_khadri: which obviously defeats the purpose [03:24] nownot, thats it ?? just place a command in the session startup so that as soon as you login iptables boot up :P [03:24] how can i convert a mds/mdf data cd and an nrg data cd to iso?

[03:34] and customize it [03:34] like nathan said [03:34] it doesnt take that long [03:34] EnMasse187: strange, that is not how i understod how firestarter worked [03:35] Yeah, gnome-panel really needs an undo feature… [03:35] yay omg wbmj i love you no homo thought :D [03:35] *though [03:35] :D [03:35] EnMasse: no prob [03:35] :D [03:35] hello i just got the emerald theme manager but i dont have any themes. I remember someone telling me i can get all the popular ones from a svn somewhere but i cant seem to find anything about it after doing a google seach. Does anyone know what hes talking about? [03:35] the only thing you need to know is if you want to see network connections you will need to create a new launcher and add nm-applet to the command [03:35] (i mean) nownot: strange, that is not how i understod how firestarter worked [03:35] and run the new launcher [03:35] it will work [03:36] e [03:36] stewart: the should be a theme option in the Emerald Manager [03:36] how do I find out why Firefox crashed? [03:36] EnMasse187 [03:36] it does this every time I suspend/resume? [03:36] redbox, dmesg | tail [03:36] wbmj: do you mean one of the tabs? [03:36] redwyrm, , dmesg | tail [03:37] arvind_khadri, I thought that was only for kernel issues [03:37] nownot: i think if iptables does not apply after boot, there must be a better way to fix it than starting firestarter, but i dont know how [03:37] redwyrm, yeah it is... you can see the system log too [03:37] stewart: yes [03:37] redwyrm, thats in system->administration->system log [03:38] stewart there is an option to download themes [03:38] arvind_khadri, I don't understand why that would say anything about what went wrong with a web browser... which has little to do with the system as a whole... [03:38] i have a themes tab but all it seems to do is manage themes i have downloaded [03:38] redwyrm, system->administration->system log has got all you system logs .... [03:38] arvind_khadri, okay, thanks [03:38] I've got a massive bunch of videos encoded in some kinda xvid/avi format which i need to convert to something ipod compatable. I've tried floola (which uses ffnmpeg) and mencoder (both on windows) and both choke on it. I'd like something with a GUI (or be given the arguements for a command line tool). I'm not concerned with time since i got a spare laptop that can handle it. any ideas for what i can use? [03:38] redwyrm, welcome [03:38] Okay, I got sudo working. But now I want to know how to use notify-send to a remote computer. I know that the user is logged into a gnome-session, but I keep gettting "libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed."

One of the drives died, and I may have accidentally removed another drive in trying to recover the data using knoppix. Is there any way to recover the metadata either by extraction or by straight recovery? [03:39] sun01tech, its pretty messy ... 8.04?? [03:39] wbmj: i cant see anything saying updates [03:40] stewart: there's http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/emerald-themes/emerald-themes_0.2.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb with extra themes you can download .. [03:40] arvind_khadri: yes 8.04 [03:40] When I install wine programs I get .lnk files on my desktop. Are they important or can I delete them? [03:40] sun01tech, you need to make symbolic links... its better if you leave as it is... [03:41] sun01tech: It depends on the filesystem of the partitions. Windows fat/vfat/ntfs have their own lables. For ext filesystems use (sudo) tune2fs -L nameyouwanthere [03:41] ShinjinAkage: I assume like in Windows you would get desktop icons [03:41] geek: command line "ffmpeg -i INFILE.XXX OUTFILE.YYY" to convert from XXX to YYY, but... [03:41] genii: yeah its ext3 thanks [03:41] David-A: i'd need to know the settings for resolution and stuff yes? [03:41] glitsj16: thanks thats what i was after [03:41] SebNaitsobes In windows I only get one. I get the shortcut and a .lnk file. [03:42] stewart: you're welcome [03:42] geek: ... yes, you should add options to set bitrates. [03:42] ShinjinAkage: what does the .link file do? [03:42] sun01tech: You're welcome. You won't se the change incidentally until after next reboot [03:42] what is "gnome-session" called in ubuntu? I can't find in my proc list [03:42] SebNaitsabes: "Couldn't display "/home/shinjin/Desktop/DogProxy II.lnk"." No application to handle.

[03:48] overlordpuppy: you can't [03:48] geek: there's winFF (http://www.winff.org/) and thin liquid film (http://thinliquidfilm.org/) .. both are ffmpeg GUI's [03:48] geek: That's terrible. [03:48] geek: vlc has a gui, but i think it is harder to use, for converting media [03:49] overlordpuppy: Yes... think about it, apt would have to look for packages dependencies and then download em and build em. [03:49] geek: vlc can also convert from the command line, still harder to use than ffmpeg in my opinion [03:49] overlordpuppy: i'd use configure, make and checkinstall (its another package) get the necessary libs as make bitches about them, then use checkinstall to make a deb [03:50] geek: The problem is the particular program I'm trying to compile won't compile on my machine. Even when I change the prefix to /usr it complains it can't find the deps that I built [03:51] overlordpuppy: what program? [03:51] synfig [03:51] notify-send on remote computer. How do I do it?

Why can't I do it? === Hayabusa is now known as psmith === psmith is now known as sps === sps is now known as sps` [04:04] Is there a way I can install completely fresh, even dependencies to a package. I have a feeling there is some leftovers somewhere. === sunc is now known as __yy [04:05] overlordpuppy: did you already remove the original deb [04:05] purge? [04:05] ripps: talk and talkd in the repos? i havent used them, and maybe they are too commandlineish [04:06] I removed the install, then autoremoved the uneeded deps, then reinstalled [04:06] David-A: I'll check'em out [04:06] overlordpuppy: that should do it [04:06] thanks [04:06] My ubuntu box is having problems printing with a hp DeskJet 812C [04:07] sps:what sort of problem [04:07] well [04:07] Ahora mi nombre esta registrado!!

[04:16] linuxbiaw English please [04:16] what is $su [04:16] !root [04:16] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:16] U mean like bginfo for windoze [04:16] ?? ?? [04:17] I have a 500 GB Western Digital External Hard Drive connected to a VMware Server Virtual Machine (I have checked in vmware removable devices and it says its mounted) On a Ubuntu host. When i do sudo fdisk -l on the Server Virtual Machine it doesn't show up. Help anyone? [04:18] ubuntucool555: Ur as clear as mud, is it the Vmachine or the real machine that can't see the drive [04:18] geek: I hate to look like a real idiot, but the reason stuff wasn't showing up was cause the synfigstudio remembered my previous settings and the alpha channel was set to 0% opacity. [04:18] Peebo: The Virtual Machine [04:18] So.. now that i have ubuntu installed my laptop will not give me a prompt for bios. [04:18] Anyone got any ideas? [04:18] Lukipela Ubuntu should have no effect on your bios. [04:18] you have to configure it in the vmware console before the vmachine will see it [04:19] Yah well, magically it seems to have had an effect. [04:19] guys I had the fix for this but lost it during a change over.. right now the terminal has a password prompt of "[sudo] password for "username" I want to change that to just "password" anyone remember how? [04:19] cykogu: everything might be a bit much, but "conky" can be configured to come close i guess .. google around for possible configurations [04:19] Because it was workign fine an hour ago when i set it to boot from CD so it would read the ubuntu disc, now it doesnt give the option, sits at a blank screen and then loads ubuntu. [04:19] Peebo: I already have. The Virtual Machine sees USB printers connected to it but not the external hard drive [04:19] if I install appl from intrepid, that polls in some libs, can I then downgrade [04:20] cygoku: do you mean like conky ? [04:20] can anyone help me , i have my dragging cube effect with mouse button 2 , but i can only drag it if i am at my desktop , im wondering if there is a way to set it up were i can drag it no matter what i have open [04:20] (I know its best idea, but will it work or no chance.. 1 lib lib32asound2) [04:20] LimCore: Nope, you'll break whatever you installed from intreipd that requires those libs. [04:20] Lukipela Try escape, F2 all of the usual ways to get into bios setup [04:20] I have been. was hoping someone else had same issue [04:20] I am on ubuntu but can anyone help me install a theme? [04:21] SeveredCross: but other (hardy) programs will work as shoold (using downgraded back to hardy libs)? [04:21] ubuntucool555: I'll just check my wmware stuff now [04:21] I meant, im on xubuntu [04:21] LimCore: yes. [04:21] ramin drag and drop the tar onto the open theme manager [04:21] Assuming you're even able to properly downgrade. [04:21] i meant xubuntu, I have to install a theme engine [04:21] AMDpenguin: If you take a look at the timeline of development on FF3 from Alpha 1 in December 2006 til RC3 in June 2008 you may get a better idea [04:21] Peebo: When the VM starts up i get these errors: usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -84 [04:21] can anyone help me , i have my dragging cube effect with mouse button 2 , but i can only drag it if i am at my desktop , im wondering if there is a way to set it up were i can drag it no matter what i have open [04:22] So, whats awesome is that its set correctly, but still does not attempt to load it, nice.

[04:22] when I type make install, I get make: *** no targets. Stop [04:22] So, another question, why would the laptop completely ignore my boot device and go to harddisk instead? even though hdd is set as last?

[04:25] yes [04:25] ramin, ok hold I just downloaded that [04:26] it is all the source codes [04:26] k, thanks for helping [04:26] AMDpenguin: linux *IS* a kernel; ubuntu is linux plus alot of other programs [04:26] can we talk privately, it would be easier [04:26] nickrud, thanx [04:26] I know [04:26] nickrud, how bout KomPozer? [04:26] ramin, after extracting that did you open system/preference/appearance and hit the install button and direct it to the pacakges inside that extracted folder? [04:26] I thought Ubuntu ran in the kernel like how windoze does [04:26] People, if I create a file in /etc/cron.d and sets your perms to 0644 with chmod cron does not execute. If I use install -m 644 path_of_my_file /etc/cron.d it works. Why? [04:26] Mongoose ?

[04:34] I downloaded just xfce for use with ubuntu but now can't get the xfce system monitor anyone know how I can get it? [04:35] Ok start your vmachine then in the VM menu on your vmware console choose removeable devices then USB devices then your usb drive [04:35] david123: are you looking for the applet? [04:36] wbmj: yes for the panel so i can monitor my system resources [04:36] david123: did you left click on a panel [04:37] trying to install a screenlet but gives me a message "Error: incalid archive. Archive must contain a directory with the screenlet's name." any ideas on what to do? [04:37] hello room, soory i've got disconnected. i'm currently using ubuntu 6.06 and i wanted to upgrade to 8.04, how will i do it? [04:37] wbmj: yes do note i don't have xubuntu desktop just xfce [04:37] Peebo: Just installing VMware tools to see if that fixed the problem -- i have already selected the drive in the vmware menu [04:37] how can i determine which server a package is being grabbed from? [04:37] !upgrade | JohnC-- [04:37] JohnC--: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [04:37] ok bazhang, ty [04:37] Jack_Sparrow: apparently i am the only person on the ubuntu-offtopic channel at the moment... [04:38] redwyrm: Nope, not working. They're really odd-ball names, too, so that's probably not helping. Very un-command-line friendly, with parens, spaces, hyphens, etc. [04:38] david123 : www.xfce-goodies.org [04:38] asdfasd, you mean server or repo [04:38] ubuntucool555: For some reason my USB drive does not show up in the vmware removable devices menu hmmm [04:38] bazhang: hey bro, long time... how u been? [04:38] ubuntucool555: Even tho the actual Ubuntu box finds it [04:38] noob-africa THere are lots of channels. Your question is not ubuntu or even linux specific [04:38] wbmj: yeah but how do i get a download from there i went there already couldn't find how to get stuff off there? [04:38] wbmj: thanks btw [04:38] when is gusty no longer supported? [04:39] !gusty [04:39] It is spelt !guTSy :) [04:39] !eol [04:39] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [04:39] !eol | AMDpenguin [04:39] AMDpenguin: please see above [04:39] does ubuntu not have file searching as integrated into the file manager as windows? [04:39] trying to install a screenlet but gives me a message "Error: incalid archive. Archive must contain a directory with the screenlet's name." any ideas on what to do? [04:39] yeah tracker [04:39] if you are using gusty and up IRC [04:40] bazhang: correct. so i'm trying to figure out which repo a package will be grabbed fun when it is installed [04:40] AMDpenguin: was that to me? [04:40] bazhang, how will i know that i'm using 6.06 "Dapper Drake" [04:40] I'm an Ubuntu fan except for the STUPID names so I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 not HH [04:40] asdfasd Which package? [04:40] i knew that its 6.06 only [04:40] yes [04:40] david123 : http:wiki.xfce.org [04:40] nvm i found a better one thats nearly just like it [04:40] AMDpenguin: you cant just right click in nautilus and find, how do you use it? [04:41] JohnC--: It'll know. Follow the instructions on that page for dapper upgrades. [04:41] Jack_Sparrow....this is a generic question. i have a number of custom repos in my sources.list and i want to know where it will install from [04:41] JohnC--, lsb_release -a in the terminal [04:41] ok Flannel and bazhang, ty [04:41] asdfasd: apt-cache policy [package] [04:41] np [04:41] xim: i dont think its in nautilus [04:41] Flannel: thanks [04:41] i have never used it all i know is that tracker is included in ubuntu [04:41] asdfasd, pastebin sources.list [04:41] asdfasd That would depend on what you are tryhing to download and what your custom repos are.. sounds more like you are heading for trouble [04:42] I g2g though Good luck [04:42] AMDpenguin: but nautilus is the defualt file manager, thats what i mean its not integrated as well as in windows [04:42] thx [04:42] hmm....if i say, apt-get install somepackage [04:42] wbmj thanks that helped [04:42] asdfasd, to paste.ubuntu.com (not here) [04:42] it seems like the method i used to determine which repos it will be installed from [04:42] asdfasd: aptitude is better [04:42] david123: no prob [04:42] Update Manager asks me: "Debconf on MD97600. Configure linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic. What would you like to do about menu.lst? Keep the installed version or install the version of the package maintainer?" How can I decide what is best for me? I looked at "Show differences between the two versions. But this output does not enlighten me. [04:42] should not at all depend on the particular servers in my sources.list [04:42] asdfasd certainly will [04:43] huh...interesting [04:43] Oh, awhle ago I was talking about pidgin and kopete and the "now playing" features...I discovered that the kopete i have is kopete-kde4...the now playing plugin is not working with pidgin on ubuntu...BUT the kopete-kde3 is working fine...pidgin, has so many "now playing" plugins available on the net but none of them worked... [04:43] bullgard4, you want to update grub or not; that is the context [04:43] ok...i'll paste, but can you explain [04:43] asdfasd, best to do some reading on such a generic question (from the wiki or elsewhere) [04:43] Oh, awhle ago I was talking about pidgin and kopete and the "now playing" features...I discovered that the kopete i have is kopete-kde4...the now playing plugin is not working with kopete-kde4 on ubuntu...BUT the kopete-kde3 is working fine...pidgin, has so many "now playing" plugins available on the net but none of them worked... [04:43] bazhang: And what is best for me: To update Grub or not? [04:44] bullgard4, update in my opinion [04:44] pasted [04:44] and i am trying to install some libaqbanking packages [04:44] and kopete seems slow inside ubuntu...so still I'm here at pidgin... [04:44] basically i am trying to verify that they are being grabbed from my custom server.... [04:44] jasonago, you may wish to ask in #kubuntu-kde4 about that first one [04:44] again, i don't quite understand why the procedure for determining this should depend on what package i am installing [04:45] bazhang: Why cannot Update Manger decide that for himself and execute? [04:45] bullgard4, it offers the choice [04:45] it seems that aptitude or apt-get or somehting should be able to tell me WHERE is it going to download from [04:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/27629/ [04:45] asdfasd: `apt-cache policy package` will tell you everything you need to know [04:45] bazhang: And what is the advantage to keep the old versin of Grub? [04:45] asdfasd, you have to set that in software sources for default ones, third party ones who knows [04:46] Flannel: Flannel is correct [04:46] ubuntucool555: Sorry can't help you more until I get VMWare recognising my USB drive. L8R [04:46] bullgard4, if wireless works less well in new kernel you may wish to revert back; ie no advantage in my view [04:46] i got a new screenlet and it says cpu load 6% , does that mean im only using 6% of my cpu? [04:47] chriswr_: probably [04:47] bullgard4: you might have exotic configurations in your present menu.lst, in any case, making a backup of your present /boot/grub/menu.lst before committing is never a bad thing, justtakes 2 seconds .. [04:47] chriswr: yes [04:47] ok , thnx [04:47] hi all [04:47] what is ubuntus default file system install? [04:47] bazhang: Ok. Thank you for your explanations. [04:47] np [04:47] nownot: ext3 [04:47] most cpu meters do not consider dynamic freq so it can be even lower [04:47] anyone know anything about xten-lite on ubuntu? I have an ac97 sound card and I can't seem to get it to pick up my /dev/dsp [04:48] glitsj16: A valid point. I will backup Grub before I allow Update Manager to take the maintainers's version. -- Thank you for your comment. [04:49] bullgard4: you're welcome [04:50] Okay there has to be a way to video conference with another ubuntu computer without all the tearing my hair and weeping over 5 apps that all have their own little bugs that render them useless. [04:50] hey, is there a way to mask my IP in Ubuntu, so I can access sites like Hulu, or Comedy Central from Canada? [04:51] google points me to HotspotShield, which is Mac/Win only. Something tells me i can do this on Linux [04:51] horizonxp you can't access them? that's gay. [04:51] bob3213243: Is skype one of those 5 apps? [04:51] LSD|ninja yes. I've spent hours with skype. everything works except the video. [04:52] bob3213243: yeah, it does bite. Supposedly, Comedy Network here in Canada streams the same shows, but it's not working in Firefox [04:52] How can I increase the brightness/gamma of just a single window instead of the entire desktop? [04:52] Horizonxp what's FF doing? [04:52] kerin it's under compiz manager. [04:52] kubuntu people seems not responding...ubuntu channel is still more lively than the rest... [04:53] help [04:53] costaricanquaker what? [04:53] I need to install gnu icecat or swiftweasel but they're not in the repositories [04:53] !log [04:53] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ === walden is now known as adungu [04:53] CostaRicanQuaker: Why do you need to do that? [04:53] hi guys how to mount windows partitions [04:54] Flannel: to replace firefox, how can i do it? === AaronHall is now known as AaronH [04:54] bob3213243: There's a Brightness plugin, yeah. But it can only decrease brightness, not increase it past its original level. [04:54] bob3213243: When I try to select a clip, it doesn't show anything [04:54] CostaRicanQuaker: You know iceweasel and firefox are the same? [04:54] Why in the Wide Wide Wide World of Sports would anyone want to replace Firefox ! [04:54] LSD|ninja yes. any ideas? I just need to get video from a webcam without all of the painful workarounds. [04:54] like this one: http://watch.thecomedynetwork.ca/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart/full-episodes/july-14-2008/#clip66696 [04:55] iceweasel is gpl [04:55] bob3213243: the webcam otherwise works, right? [04:55] Peebo: stop it. [04:55] Horizonxp have you tried another browser or is this something that the isp is blocking?

[05:09] hi, the ubuntu installer identifies my ide drive as /dev/sda1, and I think this causes me grub error 15 (as I think it is identified as /dev/hda after bootup, it was like that when I installed from the heron 32bit disk) (now I'm installing from a 7.10 64-bit disk) any onge got any suggestions?

LOVED it, so much in fact that I decided I would dual boot my laptop to continue to play with it. I'm noticing that my desktops video card is not listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti. Does this mean it won't work, or simply that it hasn't been tested? [05:10] alecwh_d try mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-bak , and try running it again [05:10] Hey guys, odd request... Anyone know a channel where I can hire some type of 'hacker' to help us with tracking down the sender of some coportate emails?

[05:11] in synaptic, how do i install packages offline, i need to put xlc on a machine so that it can access the repositories [05:11] TheoAround what card is it, that may be out of date [05:11] which means i can't get it from the repositories on that machine, has to be from another machine already on the net [05:11] jak0lyte: what?

[05:11] search for info on gvfs ntfs now comes under that [05:11] debCarlos: can i instal exe without windows [05:12] would the packagename be firefox? [05:12] alecwh_d what? with that dir out of the way, it should recreate a new, default one [05:12] alecwh_d firefox-3.0 [05:12] nickrud: it's... not.

[05:12] nickrud: okay [05:12] TheoAround that should be supported [05:12] debCarlos: ouch! i want to completely elimate windows in my machine [05:13] jak0lyte, Well what was that .exe you were trying to install? [05:13] so is there a voice solution for yahoo im yet? [05:13] can someone tell me how to add a konqueror launcher icon to the panel in xfce ? [05:13] err sorry.. better question for #xubuntu ? [05:13] can I make groups for users that copy the "registered" user's group? [05:13] jak0lyte: Yep, i understand, but qemu only creates a disk image (Like an ISO cd image), it doesn't mess with the real hard disk [05:13] Ahadiel: it is a setup file from a thin client in using [05:13] and if so, how do I do it? [05:13] Ok, reason I ask is I tried booting my desktop from the same iso I burned for the laptop. Worked beautifuly on the lappy, but my desktop just stutters on it for about 2 minutes, then spits me back to my windows startup. [05:13] nickrud: I just did that, and firefox was reinstalled, but it won't launch. [05:13] L8R all [05:13] jak0lyte, What's the actual application name....

[05:14] rand0m: right-click your panel, add launcher and feed it the command to launch konqueror [05:15] jak0lyte: What's the size of that application?

[05:18] nickrud: ty, will try [05:19] Is there a command line tool to add / manipulate Applications menu? [05:19] nickrud: okay, maybe just... swiping firefox, and reinstalling will fix it? === braden_ is now known as zod21 [05:19] alecwh_d it could.

[05:20] jack0lyte: What's the homepage of the application? [05:20] to be able to get other downloads [05:20] you add the url to the package manager [05:20] i think [05:20] i want to desable the visual efect (use none ) in ubuntu 8.04 using a bash script. can any one help me [05:21] CostaRicanQuaker, you dont want to do that [05:21] nickrud: Firefox was really messed up for me; history wasn't being recorded, and whenever I looked at my "add-ons" it crashed. I also renamed my .mozilla directory to a backup, but it should recreate it, right? [05:21] alecwh_d yes [05:21] anyone know how to boot back into the ps3 os through ubuntu on ps3? [05:22] right click the desktop and disable the visual effects in the last tab [05:22] its pretty simple [05:22] bazhang: why? [05:22] costaricanquaker cause it wont work [05:22] CostaRicanQuaker, not supported here and will almost certainly break things unless you really really know what you are doing [05:23] nickrud: Okay, now, "firefox" doesn't give any errors, and doesn't launch (crashes). [05:23] CosMiC_Touch, what there something in particular you wanted to install? [05:23] bazhang: how do i get programs that aren't in hte repos then? [05:23] with adept [05:23] or synaptic [05:23] CosMiC_Touch, sorry [05:23] CostaRicanQuaker, which ones [05:23] CostaRicanQuaker, you can compile them [05:23] CostaRicanQuaker: add the repo, search. [05:24] alecwh_d I'm not sure why it would do that. everything else seems to be working properly [05:24] jak0lyte: What's the homepage of the application you're triying to run? [05:24] ? [05:24] bazhang: gnuzilla icecat [05:24] yes i know to do that but i am installing ubuntu in a school lab and i want to run a sript that will validate with ldap and map drives but i still cant figure to desable the visual effect using a bash scrip or atleast changing it to NONE. there are about 150 computers [05:24] hey how can I make the change from compiz to metacity not send all windows to desktop 1? [05:24] bazhang, after following the upgrade links you gave me, it says "Cannot install all available updates". The following updates will be skipped: libatm1 patch, after that only a close button appears and when i click the close button, the update manager is closed [05:24] CostaRicanQuaker, why do you need that it was explained to you in #kubuntu why that was not necessary [05:25] andresj: Maybe with $ metacity --replace [05:25] JohnC_, you have dapper updates repo enabled? [05:25] debCarlos: I'm using fusion-icon right now but ill try that :) [05:25] andresj: unfortunately, you can't. There was a patch to handle the desktop <-> viewport transition, but it was never completed and didn't get accepted into compiz [05:25] debCarlos: no it still changes it. [05:25] bazhang: try it out? [05:26] bazhang, i'm not sure, sorry, i've just migrate from windows [05:26] andresj: ohh... :( [05:26] crdlb: oh wow that sucks... [05:26] andresj: in the distant future, you won't need to disable compiz to switch off compositing, so it won't be an issue [05:26] crdlb: but now... [05:26] Hello, i am trying to vnc, all locally, i have attempted to run x11vnc, tightvnc so on, i cannot log in on any puter, what is the server format is it just ip [05:26] why cant i connect, i even tried remote desktop [05:26] im using tightvnc client on the windows [05:27] crdlb: btw do you know why compiz sometimes changes fullscreen games to windows if I move the mouse within the first few seconds of it being open? [05:27] im googling left and right if someone could help, i need this running tonight [05:27] jak0lyte: There's a thing i have just thinked... if you're using 7.04, then you should try to upgrade wine, you can download de .deb from their homepage at http://www.winehq.com [05:28] andresj: are they games running in wine? [05:28] come on its vnc people, it should not be so hard [05:28] but it is beyond me [05:28] this is only a minor gripe, but why doesn't Ubuntu have the bash alias ll set to ls -l by default? I find this default on other flavors of linux, specifically fedora and suse.... once again, it's minor, but I'm curious nonetheless as ll for this alias is cost-effective [05:28] ]= [05:28] !vnc [05:28] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [05:28] crdlb: no. theyre native games like sauerbraten, or tremulous, or even 2000 years into the future [05:28] CaptainMorgan they're in your .bashrc , but commented out. Easy fix [05:29] nickrud, true, and I'm very familiar bash, but why are they commented by default, then? [05:29] so does anyone know of any program that runs native to ubuntu/linux that supports yahoo voice? [05:29] CaptainMorgan not sure. I have a .bash_aliases file, so I don't uncomment them. You could file a wish list bug I guess [05:29] nickrud, someone not really familiar with the aliasing system might not be aware of this... [05:29] andresj: I haven't heard of anything like that then [05:30] crdlb: it also keeps changing back and forth sometimes, staying less than a second on the fullscreen position [05:30] crdlb: oh... if its on wine what can be done? maybe some of it applies here [05:30] nickrud, I'm not sure it's so important that I do so, pure curiosity is all... I wasn't sure if the developers had chosen it to be commented for some other reason that the other flavors of linux didn't(or did) account for [05:30] andresj: wine just implements "fullscreen" by setting the size of the window to the size of the screen, forcing the window manager to convert that into the fullscreen state [05:31] which is really buggy [05:31] so does anyone know of any program that runs native to ubuntu/linux that supports yahoo voice? [05:31] goodnight everyone [05:31] crdlb is turning of compiz still recommended for running opengl apps? (don't use much 3d stuff myself, so only intellectually curious ;) [05:31] thanks nickrud ;) [05:31] crdlb: oh i see i see [05:31] eh..

[05:43] abhi_ crontab -e will open an editor on your user's crontab [05:43] nickrud, I've googled it and, simple holding alt and mouse scroll will do :D [05:43] debCarlos: ? [05:44] jak0lyte: Can you tell me the homepage of the software? I have been looking for it and don't find any download page... [05:44] Is there some program/launcher I can use to automatically restart the computer and boot into Windows XP through GRUB? I always end up missing the GRUB screen and booting back into Ubuntu. :/ [05:44] nickrud, : i have tried that. since this does't work i go for that one. [05:44] abhi_: here's a short podcast about crons if you want it?? http://www.twatech.org/show.php?ep=77 there's a gui frontend for crontabs too, maybe gcrontab [05:44] jak0lyte: Also, i said that you should try to update wine [05:44] *upgrade [05:45] sliverchair in 8.04 that's set to zoom [05:45] Ranbee, :ok reading [05:45] debCarlos: i upgrade it already [05:45] jak0lyte: :(, and the homepage? [05:46] debCarlos: w8 [05:46] http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/101368025/_usd20_Net_Computer_Ncomputing_usd20.html === _max is now known as max [05:46] debCarlos: here it is, http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/101368025/_usd20_Net_Computer_Ncomputing_usd20.html [05:46] abhi_: one more thing, you can list your crontabs with the l option to see if it's there. crontab -l === max is now known as Guest62091 === Guest62091 is now known as max [05:47] jak0lyte: ok, but be pacient, i'm compiling wine. I use Gentoo :) [05:47] ok [05:47] debCarlos: ill w8 [05:47] *i kinda use Gentoo :) [05:47] Ranbee, : yes the job is there. but that job never run [05:47] I compile nearly all my packages-... [05:48] tem algum brasileiro nesse troço kk [05:48] robson, /j #ubuntu-br [05:48] robson english only here. [05:49] abhi_: oh! what i always do is write my cron, then post it in the ubuntuforums to see if i've done it right, someone always replys. [05:50] Ranbee: wouldn't it be easier to learn how to do it? [05:50] can u solve right now. i will paste in paste.ubuntu.com [05:50] if i have a msn and a myspace profile managed on pidgin instant messanger , will it automatically show both my buddy list on just that one? [05:51] can someone help me write a regex to find something enclosed in brackets, like [something] [05:52] binarymutant: \[.*?\] [05:52] Tellah_Rage: not sure if http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=394967 is what you want .. [05:52] thanks Flannel, i'll try it [05:52] ummm , how do i search all the channels i can go to on this thing? [05:52] jak0lyte: The link you give me is the link of a page about some hardware device... ? [05:52] chriswr_: /list or /msg alis list *pattern* [05:53] !irc | chriswr_ check the last link [05:53] chriswr_ check the last link: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [05:53] can anyone check my crontab -l output at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27638/ for any error. [05:54] jbroome: i'm not sure what you're talking about? where did i say not to learn it??? i said double check it, rather then accepting you've done it correctly! [05:54] Hello all! [05:54] ok thnx [05:54] jak0lyte: I need the homepage of the software you're triying to run for download it and try it... [05:54] np [05:55] ummmm this chat messenger just went black grey and white....... how do i change it to color? [05:55] abhi_-> try to use the full path to the command [05:55] chriswr_, which one [05:56] abhi_: so every day at 10:09 am you want to start a file manager ? :) [05:56] sooo , basicly this messenger that im typing in now is irc? [05:56] how do I find out why Firefox crashes? [05:57] it crashes when I resume after suspending to memory [05:57] amenado, : ok [05:57] glitsj16, : just testing whether it works or not [05:57] redwyrm: Try tu run it from a terminal, you can try to see if it have a debug option with $ man firefox [05:57] sooo , basicly this messenger that im typing in now is irc????/ [05:57] debCarlos, ok [05:57] abhi_: good move, the every day at 10:09 am part is what you want ? [05:58] abhi_: if so that looks ok [05:58] I was wondering if there's an easy command to tell what kernel you're running from the terminal [05:58] glitsj16, : i can't get u [05:58] chriswr: Yeah, basically... [05:58] ok [05:58] thnx [05:59] hi everyone [05:59] nyaa: uname -a [05:59] thanks =) [06:00] i have a question, and for fear of embarrasing myself..please understand i'm a total noob when it comes to web technologies..please bear with me [06:00] amenado, : still no success. i have given the full path [06:00] abhi_: as your cron entree is right now that's the effect, it will run the command (pcmanfm) every day at exactly 10:09 am .. that's the cron syntax, is that what you want ? [06:00] chriswr: But, if you want to know it exactly, you can search for "IRC" on Wikipedia. [06:01] glitsj16, : yes [06:01] i know that through lamp one can make their own website..or host it..or similar..but does one still need to buy a domain name? or is lamp all you need for a website..can make up a domain name and simply use it with lamp? [06:01] debcarlos: ok , i dont know if this is allowed to ask in this channel but are there any hacking channels? [06:02] ljv: You can set up your own website, and access it via IP. There are free subdomains (dyndns, for instance), which you can get a free "whatever".something.com [06:02] if you install two video cards but are only using one monitor, will it improve your video quality in any way? [06:02] dbbolton, most likely no. unless you are using 'sli' enabled video cards. [06:02] chriswr:i suppose there are but i never entered on any of them. [06:03] debcarlos: ok , thnx [06:03] is there a way to view my brother's webcam output over the WAN in ubuntu? [06:03] Hi guys... where do I adjust how much scrolling the mouse wheel performs? It only scrolls about three lines at a time, and I'd like it to be at least twice that. (This is Hardy Heron.) [06:03] abhi_: in that case you need to make sure like amenado suggested that your last part points to a valid path as amenado suggested .. did you test the command in a terminal before adding it to crontab ? [06:03] Flannel: cool. but say i wanted to make art.com and it wasn't taken..is that allowed with lamp? [06:04] chriswr: I have just went to #hack , i don't know if it is what you're looking for.. [06:04] ljv: It is. But you will have to buy the domain. (And you may have issues with your ISP and having a server) [06:04] dr_Willis, how would it help sli cards? [06:04] ah...so there is red tape [06:04] glitsj16, : yes. /usr/bin/pcmanfm . works quite well [06:04] debCarlos: any news? [06:04] mind if i pm you Flannel? [06:05] dbbolton, the point of 'sli' is to allow multi video cards to share the rendering load. thus having sli video cards working together will double your rendering power. (not quite, but it does give it a boost) [06:05] ljv: #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better place [06:05] jak0lyte: yep, i compiled Wine, now i need the homepage of the software you're traying to run, or, the download page of it ^^ [06:05] abhi_-> what time is it in your locale? perhaps if you can adjust it to the next 5 minute? [06:05] Flannel: great thanks. on my way there now :) [06:05] abhi_: so it'll work, try setting it to something like 2 minutes from your present time to test it, 10:09 am might be a long wait :) [06:05] amenado, : so give it 5 min ahead === Scrappy_coco_ is now known as Scrappy_coco [06:06] glitsj16, : ok , till now i am testing it 1 min ahead. [06:06] abhi_: that should work as well, strange .. [06:07] abhi_-> try this entry */10 * * * * xxx thats every 10 minutes [06:07] amenado, : what is */10 [06:08] abhi_-> try this entry */10 * * * * xxx thats every 10 minutes <---- [06:08] amenado, : ok [06:09] glitsj16, : it does't work for 2min. so i am going for 5 min as per amenado. [06:09] Where do I adjust how much scrolling the mouse wheel performs? It only scrolls about three lines at a time, and I'd like it to be at least twice that. (This is Hardy Heron.) [06:10] Does Wine takes too much time to compile? [06:10] abhi_: i can't get why that would make any difference .. if you're going to test it with pcmanfm as command, just make sure that is not already running or you might never see it's effect [06:10] debCarlos: is an hour too long? [06:10] glitsj16, : OK. [06:10] Amaranth: Kind of... does it take so long? :( [06:11] Is it possible to use a webcam to stream video in real time over the WAN? [06:11] debCarlos: depends on the system, I guess [06:11] whats a good screen capturer? [06:12] Amaranth: Right now i'm compiling it on a Guest debian os, under VirtualBox, with 512 mb of RAM:... [06:12] xwd [06:12] debcarlos: lol , yes that was an actual hacking channel [06:12] debCarlos: oh jeez [06:12] :) [06:12] hi how to install yahoo messenger [06:13] jc_: join to windows and install [06:13] jc_: probably wine [06:13] chriswr: xD, did they answer you? They didn't answer to me for ten minutes!!!

[06:14] ladylyric: i would like to know that too [06:14] chriswr: xD [06:14] How would I go about making it so a printer using cups shared with my network would only be able to be shared on one network interface? In this instance I have a eth0 and a wlan0, I don't want my printer shared over the wireless interface. I tried googling up an answer but I don't really know were to even start so I came up with nothing. [06:14] chriswr: for video and audio capture recordmydesktop is nice (has gtk and kde frontends in synaptic) .. screenshots only i simply use gimp .. is that what you meant by screen capture ? [06:15] dr_Willis: xD [06:15] jkoltner: read post #5 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628725 [06:15] so does anyone know of any program that runs native to ubuntu/linux that supports yahoo voice?

[07:00] but I can t installed it [07:00] have downloaded [07:00] Apparently you cannot run certian cleaners while in your window system if you have wubi installed, it creates errors and leaves the ubuntu on your boot menu with no actual option to load ubuntu. [07:00] and extracted [07:00] negge and thats what i will do every time i use wireless? [07:00] can you help me about that [07:00] there is a configure.in.in [07:00] in the directory trunk [07:01] glitsj16, : i have checked it using ps -e . it shows cron is 5502 process.

[07:01] <_jdd_> speedbaron: configure.in is used by autoconf to generate configure [07:01] abhi_: is that a ":" at the start ? try removing that and setting it again to run in a few minutes please, ok, that's covered [07:01] speedbaron: i dont see configure.in [07:01] bora: what version did you get? [07:01] under trunk [07:02] speedbaron: nvm found it [07:02] I keep forgetting the name of the program. How do I change what ubuntu thinks my monitor is? Other than xorg.conf.

[07:02] abhi_: okay :), looks fine in that case [07:02] the README says [07:03] Also I am a new user [07:03] that u run make -f Makefile.cvs [07:03] first [07:03] jigp: if you run this, does the wireless turn on? sudo modprobe ath_pci [07:03] then ./configure [07:03] hello every one [07:03] Anyone here used Wubi Ubuntu installer for windows? [07:04] yes once [07:04] obsolete: i think its sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:04] chriswr: run make -f Makefile.cvs [07:04] while cd'ed into trunk folder? [07:04] yes [07:04] Somerandomname, yes [07:04] I need to resintall it on my machine, but the origional file is corrupted and im not able to pull the boot option out?

TIA [07:05] how do i install packages from the hardy live cd? i need to install something thats on that but i cant figure out how to do it,it keeps trying to install from the internet (and i have no internet) [07:05] negge fatal error [07:05] run which make [07:05] glitsj16,: ok [07:05] Polygon89: What are you trying to install? [07:05] speedbaron: just type -f Makefile.cvs? [07:06] Flannel, network-manager network-manager-gnome libnm [07:06] there is a Makefile.cvs file in trunk [07:06] legend2440, it's a program that's already installed, like xrandr, but it has a gui. [07:06] no [07:06] jigp: what exactly do you get? [07:06] xconfig [07:06] make -f Makefile.cvs [07:06] obsolete: try xconfig [07:06] speedbaron: ok , i see it in the directory [07:06] oook [07:06] Flannel, it is on the hardy live cd but i cant get synaptic to INSTALL it from the live cd, it keeps warning me about version number isnt there etc [07:06] Polygon89: those aren't on the CD. Those are included *in* the CD image [07:07] type make -f Makefile.cvs [07:07] then ./configure [07:07] Flannel, huh? that what am i looking at when i mount the cd in nautilus? [07:07] bunch of stuff poped up [07:07] Polygon89: Are you sure you don't have the alternate CD? [07:07] Polygon89: you can get the files from the repository directly. [07:07] shouldn't Xubuntu be much more responsive than WinXP ? [07:08] then it is doing something [07:08] that is good [07:08] Flannel, nope live cd [07:08] abhi_: What are you having a problem with? [07:08] obsolete: grandr is a gui for xrandr [07:08] ./admin/cvs.sh: 653: --version: not found [07:08] Polygon89: Hardy? [07:08] when it is done [07:08] Somerandomname, it would save me time if i can get it from the live cd as i dont know the dependencies it wants [07:08] *** AUTOCONF NOT FOUND!. [07:08] type ./configure [07:08] Polygon89: Hardy Ubuntu, at that. Yes? [07:08] Flannel, yep. [07:08] Copying to my raid 5 array only goes at 2.4MB/sec... is it just me or is that really slow? [07:08] bunch of errors [07:09] Somerandomname, and it would help if i can learn how to do this incase i have the live cd but no internet at all [07:09] Polygon89: That file should not be on the CD. These (scroll down to the bottom) are the only packages on the CD: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.list [07:09] can i just copy and past them? [07:09] Flannel, : i just want to schedule a command with crontab. i have tried all the tricks but without any result. [07:09] Polygon89 let me see if i can get the link your wanting. I dont know if you can pull files from the iso. [07:09] negge :# modprobe ath_pci [07:09] FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/net/ath_pci.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [07:09] probably in a private chat [07:09] speedbaron: ok [07:09] Flannel, so how does the live cd install it then if the items are not on the cd? is there a iso WITHIN the cd? [07:09] Polygon89 you could try doing a frugal type install (which will put an image of the disk on your drive) then moving them from there? [07:09] where do i find my soundcard listed among other hardware ? [07:10] Polygon89: The image (casper image) that the liveCD boots gets copied to the harddrive. [07:10] jigp: hmm [07:10] I really don't know what that means [07:10] wat: in terminal lspci [07:10] jigp: which guide did you follow? [07:10] abhi_: There shouldn't be any tricks. What command are you trying to run? when? and whats the entry in your crontab currently? [07:10] speedbaron: any idea what that means? [07:10] wat: gnome-terminal try lspci | grep Audio [07:10] someone please i need help with my sound card. volume very low [07:10] what command can launch the run applet? [07:10] negge : modprobe ath_pci [07:11] Flannel, 45 10 * * * /usr/bin/pcmanfm. just testing [07:11] jigp: yeah but when you installed it which guide did you follow? [07:11] Flannel, in previous versions of ubuntu if i put the live cd in it tells me that its a repo and if i want to add it, is it the same for hardy? [07:11] negge im using root [07:11] Chris|: alt+F2 [07:11] negge madwifi? [07:11] Polygon89: There is a small repo on the CD, yes. It consists of the packages listed there. All 20 of them or whatnot [07:11] negge the HAL i guess [07:11] Rat409, thats not a command, thats a keybind [07:11] Copying to my raid 5 array only goes at 2.4MB/sec... is it just me or is that really slow? [07:12] abhi_: pastebin the output of `crontab -l` please [07:12] Flannel, so what your saying is that its very hard to get all of the packages on a default ubuntu install from the live cd? [07:12] Polygon89: The packages themselves that are installed? yes. They are not on the liveCD at all. [07:12] Rat409, thanks though, i found what i needed [07:12] Polygon89: you want the alternate CD [07:12] Flannel, ah. [07:13] Flannel, okey ill just dl them from the repo [07:13] hi, is there a way to suppress brasero from doing the integrity check when copying a disc? or do i just have to abort it when it starts? (I'm copying disks and short of time) [07:13] for some reason, my kensington optical mouse just randomly stops working.. even when i change ports it doesn´t work.. when i reboot, it works for a bit but shortly thereafter, stops again [07:13] Polygon89 [07:13] After you download those files package them and burn them [07:13] to solve your future issue. [07:14] Somerandomname, well hopefully this wont happen again, a network manager upgrade borked my internet (and a lot of other peoples...) [07:14] then its going to happen again lol :P [07:14] good luck :) [07:14] Polygon89: With the internet, you can always sneakernet [07:14] tryin to get java to work is hard [07:14] Flannel, true, which is how im talking to you now ;) [07:14] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/27651/ [07:15] hello everyone [07:15] can someone help me with a read/write problem? [07:15] abhi_: And what times/whatever are you under the impression this should run at? [07:16] I am having trouble installing Ubuntu on my PC, would anyone mind lending me a hand [07:16] ne desi's willing to help me with my sound card [07:16] Flannel, every day at 10.45 [07:17] lspci outputs a "location" or "configuration space point" at the beginning of each line in square brackets in the format [00:05:0]. What PCI categories designate these 3 numbers? [07:17] negge : modprobe ath_pci [07:17] i can't seem to change my sound volume [07:18] abhi_: Is there a line under that entry? [07:18] wat. right click the icon in top panel and select preference and select correct device [07:18] abhi_: (as in, you have a newline at the end of that line) [07:18] Flannel, : yes [07:18] Jehosaphat: just throw your issue into the channel and if someone sees it and knows the answer they'll pipe up. If you don't get anything right away, wait a reasonable amount of time and then ask again, people are in and out of this channel all the time [07:18] "Lindent – calls indent with kernel specific parameters." ":~$ man indent; No manual entry for indent." What does 'indent' mean? [07:18] I have a question regarding Wine: With the latest Wine, 1.1.1, the menus of my programs are all opened behind the main window. This is very annoying. Does anyone have the same problem, or better yet, a solution to this? [07:19] Flannel, : this is bug not to have a newline at the end. i know that. [07:20] abhi_: Cron uses system time, doesn't it? that'd be UTC? [07:21] LSD|Ninja: thanks, if nobody can help atm i will ask again in a few minutes [07:21] I have ubuntu as a guest os on my XP using VirtualBox. I want to make shared folde, how can I do that ? [07:21] AboSamoor: is networking set up properly in vbox? [07:21] Flannel, : i d't think so... [07:21] for some reason, my kensington optical mouse just randomly stops working.. even when i change ports it doesn´t work.. when i reboot, it works for a bit but shortly thereafter, stops again [07:22] LSD|Ninja, yes, i can browse internet without problems :) [07:22] abhi_: Its not 1045 UTC, is it? (or was it when we tried?) Try doing something every 10 minutes or something, see if that works (since that's independant of the timezone question) [07:22] I transferred files from a CD and they are read only. I was wondering how I could take permission of them and change them so I can write them. [07:22] AboSamoor: then you should just be able to right click and share a folder in the normal fashion [07:22] What does this mean on a SATA drive and how do i fix it? HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [07:23] AboSamoor: Assuming vBox is set up to act as just another machine on the LAN. I forget what that is called, bridged? [07:23] Flannel, : so i will add this: */10 * * * * cmd [07:23] abhi_, it seems i can change the volume, just not with the Fn keys of my laptop [07:23] abhi_: yes [07:24] any ideas for getting Wifi to work? (I have a laptop from the Asus A6000 series) [07:25] Heh, I found it. In Compiz Config Settings Manager ---> Focus & Raise Behaviour and set the Focus Prevention Level to Very High fixed my problem. Sorry to trouble you guys. [07:25] Hello is there a GUI ubuntu alternative to the proces explorer in windows? [07:25] wat: this is also a problem in my key board. just try this. system-preferences-key board shortcuts [07:26] LSD|Ninja, I tried "sudo mount -t vboxsf share /media/vbox" , but i got the following error , "/sbin/mount.vbosf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error" [07:26] microwaver, what is your current process viewer? [07:26] Kalumba, I don't have any, I use the terminal / text based TOP. [07:26] wat: then select the volume and press the key u want to work.. test it whether it work [07:26] microwaver, I use qps myself [07:26] kalumba is it xubuntu compatible? [07:27] wat : this work for many. but does't work for me. [07:27] microwaver, I do not know [07:27] anyone, I am trying to install ubuntu on a new PC, but the installer is ejecting the CD before it begins installing [07:27] Kalumba, just 'sudo apt-get' it? [07:27] microwaver, or synaptic if you like :) [07:27] Hey guys...Installed KMediaFactory because I am trying to find a program to burn avi to dvd so they play in a dvd player....Where can I get started with KMediaFactory, can't find it anywhere, but it is def installed... === spork969 is now known as CheesyWeasel [07:28] Kalumba, let's see, after updates are installed [07:28] someone i need help with my sound control [07:28] read about it here: http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~f91-men/qps/ [07:30] nevermind, i don't need help i just realized i am using the wrong installer.

[07:34] if I install the ubuntu_desktop metapackage will I get all the OpenOffice programs and all other extra stuff or just GNOME? [07:34] is there a different way to change the resolution of my screens than system>preferences>screen resolution? I can't use that due to Xwindows [07:34] negge: You'll get a fresh Ubuntu install (including open office and stuff) [07:34] reportingsjr: try xrandr [07:34] I get "The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available." [07:34] oh [07:34] >_> [07:35] hehe [07:35] where can i go to download more things to add to my panel in ubuntu?

[07:52] <_jdd_> starn i think it's files are public [07:52] who here has ps3 ubuntu version [07:52] KDB9000, So I take it you tried setting them already? [07:53] it says unclean shutdown [07:53] HELLO PEOPLE [07:53] tyler_, Boot back into WIndows, and safely remove them. (With that wizard thing) [07:53] how do you flushdns? I know on windows it's "ipconfig /flushdns" [07:53] i dont have windows [07:53] _jdd_: oh ok. [07:53] KDB9000: unfortunately https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotkey-setup/+bug/64086 [07:53] Ahadiel: yes, i tried in the shortcuts but it doesn't pick anything up so it won't set them. i have read methods to set them but i haven't been able to get the key codes [07:53] Launchpad bug 64086 in hotkey-setup "DVD/wifi buttons on HP DV5000 doesn't work" [Undecided,Confirmed] [07:54] Anyone know how to flush the DNS for Ubuntu? [07:54] KDB9000, Hrm, I have a DV6000 and everything is fine. [07:54] i try to install netbeans IDE to ubuntu from terminal window but i can't [07:54] afallenhope, You could've just googled. -_- http://www.tech-faq.com/flush-dns.shtml [07:55] i have placed the netbeans-6.1-ml-linux.sh on the desktop [07:55] Ahadiel: there seems to be a big difference from the 5000 and the 6000. i have found info about the key codes for 6000 but none for the 5000 [07:55] can i boot the wizard in wine or something [07:55] Ahadiel, I did.. says command not found.. [07:55] and with ./netbeans-6.1-ml-linux.sh this command i try to install it [07:56] afallenhope, "Linux does not cache DNS by default. You have to manually install nscd or a dns server to cache DNS. Your DNS server IS your cache. If you have a router, restart that router. It will clear the cache." [07:56] Ahadiel, instead of telling people to google things.. how about you try the solution to make sure it works. [07:57] can i boot the wizard in wine or something [07:57] xocite: Patrick is partly right, yes the dvd button is used to boot the system into an embed windows to play DVD's, but that is when the system is off. when it is on it would start the windows only quick play software. since i can't install quick play on linux, it should still be possible to use the buttons to run linux based systems [07:57] KDB9000, have you tried the xev program to get the keycodes? [07:58] DistroJockey: please scroll up. I have tried acpi and xev, nothing in both of them [07:58] afallenhope, How about you just figure this out by yourself? [07:58] KDB9000, k, sorry, joined not long ago [07:58] DistroJockey: that is alright [07:58] Alright, I have a whopper of a question here. My buddy runs 8.04, and he wants a very custom setup. Essentially, he wants to strip off as much GUI as he possibly can, and instead of having panels and a wallpaper when he logs in, he wants to have a fullscreen gnome terminal which X windows can appear over top of. Is this realisticly possible, or should I look at one of other desktop environments? [07:58] tyler_, You can force mount the NTFS driver, I'll try and find you a link. [07:59] it wont let me force mount [07:59] drive* [07:59] xocite: Ahadiel has mentioned that is DV6000 laptop (next model up) works fine with all the buttons and I have found key codes for the 6000 to set the DVD button. [07:59] Hey people sorry for little OT but do you know some online free storage serverice with ftp access? I want to backup some data through ftp === _max is now known as max` [07:59] KDB9000: let me know if it works [07:59] Rajec: Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. [08:00] xocite: so far i have nothing. was hoping someone in here with a dv5000 might have the answer [08:01] both opera and firefox keep crashing on me in certain sites, firefox gives this error Error: Permission denied to get property Location.toString [08:01] heres a site that does it http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3568851,00.html [08:01] I have a dual boot of ubuntu and windows vista. I can see my partition for vista but it wont let me mount it. How can I mount it? (if its too risky as far as losing the information on it I'll pass) [08:02] fwaokda: you have all the files need to read ntfs installed? [08:02] zedster, idk [08:02] it tells me only root can do that [08:02] !ntfs | fwaokda [08:02] fwaokda: 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 [08:02] fwaokda-> ntfsfix command [08:02] tyler_, then use sudo [08:02] fwaokda-> and then try to mount it again [08:02] any able to open that site I posted with out firefox going nutz? [08:02] anyone* [08:02] moo_cow, i type that cmd in shell? [08:03] fwaokda-> yes [08:03] From where do usb kernel modules get loaded from? i can't seem to find any references in /etc/modprobe.d [08:03] fwaokda-> sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1 if thats your vista partition [08:04] when i sudo it it gives me useage for sudo mount [08:04] moo_cow, ok i'll do the command after my update manager finishes. This isn't any type of beta stuff that might lose my information on that partition huh? [08:05] fwaokda-> its always worked for me. what causes ntfs partitions not to mount is if you didnt do a proper shutdown in windoze. [08:05] zedster, that site works for me (very slow to load though). Using 8.04.1 here [08:05] moo_cow, oh well that makes since. it didn't properly shut down last time :) Should I log in and do that or just do the cmd you told me? [08:05] that site doesnt crash my firefox either. im using adblock. [08:06] hmm... it cause firefox to resize and the top bar to disappear for me, also it stop showing up in the bottom bar, DistroJockey what gui are you using? [08:06] fwaokda-> login to what? [08:06] moo_cow, vista [08:06] fwaokda-> thats a command for linux [08:07] zedster, gnome with compiz (default) running on ATI xorg drivers [08:07] moo_cow, i know im asking if I just login to vista and shutdown correctly to fix my problem or if i dont need to worry about that and just use the cmd you recommended. [08:07] hmm...still Its not a firefox issue since it crashes opera as well, I must have a bad plug in or something [08:07] when i sudo it it gives me useage for sudo mount [08:08] fwaokda-> easier to do the command [08:08] can someone help me with xvideo not working right? [08:08] VanessaE: explain [08:08] moo_cow, ok thanks [08:08] xocite, I'll try to - I'm not exactly sure how to put it.. [08:09] tyler_: What command are you using? [08:09] sudo mount-t ntfs-3g/dev/sec1/media/master drive -oforce [08:09] my system is behaving as though the Xvideo extension does not exist, when I play a video with e.g. mplayer, or try to use mythtv. xvinfo seems to suggest it exists, but my CPU usage and just plain bad video playback on anything remotely large (e.g. HD MPEG2 video) say otherwise [08:09] this is on hardy. === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:09] tyler_: Exactly like that? [08:09] yes [08:10] Ahadiel, you're the worst help ever.. why you even in this chan [08:10] it wont let me sudo it now [08:10] zedster, Which FF are you running? [08:10] Ahadiel, you're candian? heh.. [08:10] tyler_: Its because your command is wrong. [08:10] FF3 [08:10] VanessaE: I'm experiencing a similar problem myself. [08:10] tyler_: you're trying to mount sdc1 at /media/master\ drive, right? [08:10] zedster, *nods* [08:11] no sudo mount-t ntfs-3g/dev/sec1/media/master drive -oforce [08:11] still if its both firefox and opera its a different issue [08:11] Ahadiel, Vancouver treating you nicely? [08:11] so you know what I'm talking about then - choppy, horrible video despite having plenty of CPU left over [08:11] tyler_: No. Are you trying to mount sdc1 at a mount point of "/media/master drive"? [08:11] its want the error told me [08:11] VanessaE: What video card do you have? [08:11] nV GF6800. [08:11] yes [08:12] zedster, which Java RE? [08:12] tyler_: You're missing a few spaces, and have some other errors. use "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/sdc1 /media/master\ drive" [08:12] 1.06.0_10b I think [08:12] afallenhope, Oh man, you're so pro. [08:12] using their driver package (not ubuntu's) [08:12] Zedster are you refering to your java version? [08:12] this is on an AMD 64x2 3800+ based box with a gig of ram, so plenty of horsepower for the task. [08:12] VanessaE: how did you configure your Xorg.conf? [08:13] I lied that what I have at work, my pc is 1.6.0 [08:13] zedster, k, not that then [08:13] WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile. === narg_ is now known as narg [08:13] fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/master drive: No such file or directory [08:13] Before I switched distros, I backed up my known-working xorg.conf, and then put it into service under ubuntu. [08:14] hi all, where are programs usually installed? /usr/bin? [08:14] tyler_: You're trying to mount it somewhere that doesn't exist. Fix that. [08:14] "java version "1.6.0_06" [08:14] Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02) [08:14] Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode)" [08:14] Lusule: yeah, the executables for them [08:14] VanessaE what distro did you come from? [08:14] pingfloyd - where are those kept? [08:14] gentoo [08:14] Lusule: If you're adding stuff, /usr/local/bin/ [08:14] Lusule: programs are distributed between various dirs dependent upon the type of files [08:14] my external is on pluged in showing on "places" [08:14] ironically, ubuntu is faster in every respect, except for wine and this video issue. [08:15] Lusule: libraries in /usr/lib for instance [08:15] Lusule: executables in /usr/bin [08:15] Lusule: and there is some variation upon that [08:15] were you using propriatary drivers in the gentoo install? [08:15] pingfloyd - i'm trying to find the cedega executable [08:15] Somerandomname, yep. [08:15] Lusule: you can check for a particular program wit which. "which [program]" [08:15] Thats why. [08:15] same version on the same kernel I think. [08:15] VanessaE: back up your current implementation of Xorg.conf and create a new one with the appropriate nvidia command === macsim`work is now known as macsim [08:16] xocite is right. [08:16] (I use a custom kernel because I have to manually build v4l-dvb) [08:16] er.. ok, I can try that [08:16] i got it to work [08:16] purpose of same? [08:16] Lusule: how did you install it? [08:16] i do the same for my other ehd [08:16] pingfloyd - which cedega worked, thanks :) [08:16] Lusule: if it was a .deb package, do dpkg -L pkg [08:17] to allow your settings to be used globally [08:17] Ahadiel, you need to learn something about webdesign [08:17] ok, backed up xorg.conf and ran nvidia-xconfig [08:17] brb. [08:17] afallenhope, How about you go get a life. [08:18] Ahadiel, I have one :) you're just a dick [08:18] true canadian asshole :) [08:18] what's the best program for me to convert any video to a video format readable by xbox 360? [08:18] afallenhope, Ahadiel: cool it [08:18] tisk tisk [08:18] wont find that answer here [08:18] ok, restarted X with the new config. [08:18] hows it look? [08:19] ...and it didn't help. [08:19] same as before. [08:19] hmm [08:19] So firefox resizes to just the top menu bar of ff, then if I open a new tab it put the blue bar back on top and I can maximize it, if I click back on the tab of the site that caused it to go on the fritz it does it again === Kenshin_ is now known as bin4y [08:19] onthefence929: don't know about "any" video, but ffmpeg (winFF as frontend) sure can handle a lot [08:19] wait a sec./ [08:19] something didn't work right.

[08:22] did your wiener just shrink? [08:22] Zedster, its likely a setting is expanding the window to fit your screen but producing size errors becuase of the size of your monitor. [08:22] but why would gnome drop it? [08:22] That i dont know :( [08:22] no conflicts on your video card? [08:23] ok, definitely not good. [08:23] VanessaE, Do you have Visual Effects enabled? If so turn them off in System - Preferences - Appearance and see how it goes. [08:23] er, that sounds like a gnome option...I use kde. [08:24] VanessaE what is "Deffinalty not good" [08:24] glitsj16: i can't find winFF [08:24] VanessaE, ahh, well, this is Ubuntu support not Kubuntu support ;) [08:24] lol [08:24] what's a good download manager? [08:24] Somerandomname, mythtv's behavior. wanted to lock the system. [08:24] Hmm [08:24] is there a calibration tool for wacom tablets?

[08:25] DistroJockey: found it! ASF plug-in [08:25] Oh its a layered install? === allen is now known as Bob_Sagot [08:25] zedster, ahh cool. Did sound like a plugin issue. Good one.

[08:26] VanessaE: That's the same as installing Kubuntu and adding Ubuntu. If you have a KDE specific thing, you might be better off asking in #kubuntu (because we're less knowledgable with KDE stuffs, not because its offtopic) [08:26] im sorry thats the extent of what i would have done :( [08:26] though here is something that bothers me: KDE shows hat translucency/shadows are available (but turned off)...that sounds like a Composite-related feature.

[08:58] id have to change the owners [08:58] Johnny: no [08:59] of files in my home directory? [08:59] Johnny: you do not because the owner of a file/directory is a uid [08:59] a uid you will not change [08:59] k [08:59] therefore you do not need to change any permissions === andyden is now known as E-Nuff_Wope [08:59] Johnny: why would you want to rename the user anyway? [09:00] im selling the computer [09:00] would anyone happen to know if there is a port of Gedit for windows? i happen to be stuck on windows ATM[actually i will be for a while :(] and wish for somehting similar to gedit in size[gedit loads considerably faster than otehr text editing apps ive used], and would also like something with syntax highlighting and a simple interface [09:00] and he wants linux [09:00] E-Nuff_Wope: Have you checked Network and Bluetooth configs? [09:00] Johnny: Why do you need to change the user then? [09:00] bluefoxx: google it. [09:00] ok, then make sure you have a backup of the files i pointed out and change them. should work instantly [09:00] salut !

[09:01] so he'll have access to the files in my home directory Flannel and i wont have to mess with settings or permissions [09:01] Johnny: Check out the OEM installation option on the alternate CD. It'll provide youa way to give him the computer, and on first boot, he can set up his user/pass/etc. [09:01] hey could i get some help? [09:01] soreau, as ai general rule ive learned to google such things first. i had no luck so i came here for suggestions on programs [09:01] bluefoxx, try use scite for windows (and linux) ;) [09:01] !ask | ughthisisannoyin [09:01] ughthisisannoyin: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[09:05] chriswr: yes, but getting the keylogger installed will be hard, very hard [09:05] wols_: not necessarily [09:05] bluefoxx: did you see http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Windows ? takes some steps, but it is possible to take your gedit to windows ;) [09:05] E-Nuff_Wope: Have you configured them though? Can you communicate with the device? Is it recognized in network settings? Have you googled with the model number and ubuntu?

[09:07] Update Manager asks me: "Debconf on MD97600. Configure linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic. What would you like to do about menu.lst? Keep the installed version or install the version of the package maintainer?" How can I decide what is best for me? I looked at "Show differences between the two versions.

[09:13] ethana2: 1.) has gnome always crashed 2.) how/when does it crash 3.) what changed to make it start crashing [09:13] ok, let me try to describe this succinctly..... [09:13] every panel applet dies one after the other, throwing an error [09:14] then the panels go away [09:14] ethana2: just answer my questions, thats all we want [09:14] that's immediately after startx [09:14] its yoru X configuration i guess [09:14] ethana2: why are you doing startx ? [09:14] ethana2: gnome should launch by default [09:14] it doesn't here [09:14] ethana2: has it ever ? [09:14] yeah [09:14] if you have cd you can probably repair it ? [09:14] before i ran updates [09:14] ethana2: so what did you change [09:14] my machine restarted in the middle of application [09:15] and i have no clue why [09:15] ethana2: it just reset ? [09:15] shutdown [09:15] and then reset, yes [09:15] ethana2: shut down properly, as in normally - or did it just flick off [09:15] ok i think she has launched some program that conflicted with something else or she might have tampered with x configs [09:15] normally, except with no reason [09:15] so can anyone help me with dualbooting with vista? i can do it all except the repartitioning [09:15] and at a horrible time [09:15] Hi Lads, does anyone know how to get BisonCam NB Pro webcam to work under Hardy?

[09:17] because windows remove your grub boot loader [09:17] eehk [09:17] ikonia: i was watching it apply updates [09:17] ikonia: then the screen goes black and i see text [09:17] to the effect of it shutting down, and it did just that [09:17] if wow ran fine in wine for me i'd have no problem :| [09:17] how can i automatically launch awn during login?

[09:36] DistroJockey: wow, thats amazing [09:36] !vm [09:36] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [09:36] wols_: thats seems to look right, [09:37] nano_, what is amazing? [09:37] how can i know the commands of each installed applications? [09:37] gooody: by reading the docs for each [09:37] DistroJockey: the fact that syslogd also tracks seconds after boot [09:37] !qemu [09:37] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [09:37] DistroJockey: so does that mean that 16 seconds after boot ehci_hcd is being loaded? [09:37] nano_, well, it's nice info to have if you need it :) [09:38] nano_, yep, looks that way to me [09:38] wols_: i'm creating launchers for awn but don't know the commands of the applications [09:38] DistroJockey: if im not mistaken udev is responsible for loading up ehci_hcd...but i can't find any config file to affirm this..or maybe even disable it? [09:38] gooody: look in your applications menu then [09:38] gooody: check the *.desktop files in /usr/share/applications for the Exec line(s) [09:39] !blacklist | nano_ [09:39] nano_: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [09:39] Hi, every time I'm starting my printer, hp psc 1315, it is printing test page, but don't want to print anything else :) [09:40] c'è un programma per la gestione di due monitor sula stessa scheda video?

[09:40] Algyz, sounds like one of the buttons on the printer is stuck down (or in the pressed position) [09:41] wols_, ubottu i understand blacklisting modules but i just want to know in what file is udev configured to load ehci_hcd upon detecting my usb ports. [09:41] none afaik [09:41] kernel loads the module automatically. it was able to do that since 2.2 or so [09:41] nano_, no idea here [09:41] DistroJockey: it isn't [09:42] DistroJockey: thnx [09:42] nano_, no problem [09:42] how to unrar rar files? [09:42] One more test page :D [09:42] kelvin911 with unrar [09:42] Algyz, does it print a test page when it is not connected to the computer also? [09:43] How to print pdf file from terminal? [09:43] I'm trying out these screenlets, but how do I get them to only come up when I hit a certain combo of keys? [09:43] kelvin911 use unrar-free or unrar the nonfreeversion [09:43] DistroJockey: yes, this is how it is working :D [09:43] anyone can help [09:43] or is that against what their use is for? [09:43] just install mysql and i cant create a database.. [09:43] Algyz, working when "not connected"? [09:44] kidbuntu what is the error? [09:44] using this command won't work mysql -u root -p [09:44] i think i have unrar but it keeps asking for password but i know there is no passowrd [09:44] !doesn't work | kidbuntu [09:44] kidbuntu: 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.

[09:44] kidbuntu did you set up password? [09:44] i wonder how to unrar using terminal [09:44] i've forced it down to 1.9, but doing that java refuses to install, help?

[09:45] ubottu: i thought initramfs is what is temporarily required by grub (or other bootloader) to be able to load the kernel...and initramfs doesn't really do much with hardware once the kernel has taken over...so how can initramfs be responsible for loading (and maintaining?) usb drivers? [09:45] nano_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:45] kelvin911 if its from a special site pw is normally the site name ;) [09:45] waistless: Do you have hardy-proposed enabled? [09:45] there is no password [09:45] * Algyz sitting with mountain of test pages :/ [09:45] * nano_ is embarresed [09:45] kidbuntu mysqladmin -u root password agoodpassword [09:45] some guys said they fix the rar file with winrar [09:45] <_NiC> wols, thanks. :) [09:45] but i dont have winrar in ubuntu [09:46] kelvin911: you've been told what to use [09:46] abchirk: i'll try that [09:46] Algyz, then it's a hardware fault [09:46] printers? [09:46] is there winrar in ubuntu? [09:46] kelvin911: no! [09:46] no [09:46] yes, but the java plugin package doesn't use hardy-proposed [09:46] kelvin911: rar and unrar [09:46] abchirk: i got this error error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [09:46] WINrar :P [09:46] and it requires the latest xulrunner no matter what [09:46] kidbuntu but did you set up the password? [09:46] kelvin911: no, but you can install rar from Synaptic so that File Archiver can use rar files [09:46] waistless: hardy-proposed is unstable, and generally breaks often. You've found one such breakage [09:46] how is the ATI driver in Ubuntu ? I always used Intel and Nvidia, but I might consider a laptop with ATI... which I doubt I will buy [09:47] i am able to unrar files [09:47] but just not some [09:47] abchirk: like replacing the "agoodpassword" with "mypassword"? [09:47] Flannel: so can I force sun-java6-plugin to use the regular xulrunner? [09:47] fwaokda: screenlets itself doesn't any key support i think, but if you run compiz, putting them on the 'widget layer' and activating a toggle key for that in compiz config settings manager might work .. [09:47] hm strange [09:47] kidbuntu: when you installed mysql there was a debconf asking you about a password [09:47] kidbuntu right ;) [09:47] Algyz, If the printer isn't connected and you press nothing when you turn it on, then it is a stuck button or a hardware fault [09:47] because sun-java6-plugin is only one version: from regular hardy [09:47] anyone go the skinny on the latest patch? is it good, or problematic? [09:47] built in webcam BisonCam (ALi 5602) - does anyone have it? [09:48] wols_: not that i'm aware of [09:48] glitsj16, ok i'll try that thanks [09:48] kidbuntu but you needn't but its recommend to connect withour password use mysql -u root [09:48] !mysql [09:48] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [09:48] DistroJockey: I mean, I restarted printer without connection to computer, and it printed this page. Printer is bad? [09:48] Algyz, very much sounds like it [09:48] abchirk: trying that results to an access denied [09:48] DistroJockey: how to check? [09:48] abchirk: the mysql -u root [09:49] fwaokda: just tried it, works (with the ringsensors anyway) .. goodluck [09:49] hm than you set up a password use the command mysqladmin -u root yourpassword [09:49] Algyz, when it is turned off. Press all buttons repeatedly fairly firmly about 5-10 times. Then try again [09:49] glitsj16, i think i might have compiz install from awhile ago how can i check? [09:49] Jó reggelt testvérek [09:49] Flannel: I do know hardy-proposed is unstable and I force versions when neccesary, but sun-java6-plugin shouldn't require the latest spick and span xulrunner when it's only from normal hardy [09:50] why does it appear that linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic has moved from 'main' to 'universe' during a very recent apt-get update? http://paste.ubuntu.com/27585/ [09:50] Hozsanna [09:51] hi someone here who uses xen with ubuntu [09:51] waistless: I'm not familiar with the details of how that works. You'd have to ask the packagers, you could try #ubuntu-motu [09:51] heya... does anyone know if i can send text messages on my bluetooth enabled phone from somewhere within ubuntu? [09:52] fwaokda: i guess running "pidof compiz" from terminal would indicate that compiz is running if it returns a number .. but you should know if you were running compiz, the cube etc. is very recognizable :) [09:52] 4th season links are not down but apparently i needed to repair it, double click on the winrar file that is corrupted, go to tools and Repair Archive. Once it's repaired a new rar file will appear ie fixed.Friends_S04_E03.part2 [09:52] And the uploader just mentioned that we would have to do this for season 4-7 =( [09:52] can someone tell me how to fix rar files?? [09:52] Weiss: paste `apt-cache policy linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic linux-image-generic` please [09:52] someone in here uses xen with ubuntu [09:53] glitsj16, dont think its installed. it just went to the next line when i ran that [09:53] !anyone | phimic [09:53] phimic: 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? [09:53] kelvin911: have you considered using Wine so you can run Winrar? [09:53] How do I make a bootable DOS USB key (to update my BIOS) from inside Ubuntu? [09:53] does winrar works in wine? [09:54] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27681/ [09:54] fwaokda: that command only checks whether compiz is running, it might be installed, check synaptic for compiz to make sure [09:54] fwaokda, glitsj16 : best way to check it compiz is enabled is to hold alt and scroll the mouse wheel (that's assuming you have a wheel :) ) [09:54] kelvin911: there's unrar and unrar-nonfree [09:54] kelvin911: don't talk about warez here [09:54] gordonjcp: then how to fix rar file? [09:54] fix? [09:54] kelvin911: check www.winehq.com , they have an app database that will tell you [09:54] i installed the latest xen-kernel and reboot, but my system is not coming up anymore, i use linux software raid [09:54] gordonjcp: apparently files are corrupted [09:54] fwaokda, glitsj16 : while over a windows that is [09:54] DistroJockey, that did nothing so i guess it isn't installed [09:54] kelvin911: hm, don't know, I don't use rar files [09:55] gordonjcp: someone claims that they fix the rar file with winrar [09:55] fwaokda, not enabled [09:55] DistroJockey: true, although he might not have the cube activated (or an other key for it, like i have as well) ... that's why i looked for something more genreic to check [09:55] glitsj16, aye, that's why I mentioned the alt+scroll as that's very generic [09:55] the last messages are: md0 stopped [09:55] and md1 stopped [09:55] Weiss: Well, there's no universe there. It could be a bug. [09:55] phimic: there are messages before [09:56] Flannel: no bug. see poc [09:56] DistroJockey, ok i think its installed its in my synaptic package manager... how do i enable it? [09:56] then ALERT!! /dev/md1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell [09:56] DistroJockey: thanks for helping out :) .. fwaokda, it might be overkill to install/enable compiz just for the screenlets toggle .. up to you to decide that :) [09:56] Flannel: you mean security.ubuntu.com shouldn't contain universe stuff? [09:56] with the ubuntu default kernel it works pretty well [09:56] fwaokda, in System - Preferences - Appearance under Visual Effects [09:56] fantasticmrfox: by dd-ing FreeDOS to it [09:57] wols_: do you have instructions anywhere? [09:57] glitsj16, no problem. Sorry for butting in [09:57] fantasticmrfox: only in my brain [09:57] well i gotta restart it says bbiab [09:57] wols_: Looks like a bug to me [09:57] wols_, walk me through it? [09:57] Distrojockey: i don't mind people butting in, no problem at all ;) [09:57] fantasticmrfox: no [09:58] glitsj16, :) [09:58] Weiss: There are some universe things in security, I believe. But you'll notice there is no mention of universe in apt-cache policy [09:58] Flannel: dunno but kernels are rarely outside main [09:58] wols_, you've been so much help [09:58] man, getting some strong Grandma's Boy vibes comin from the somewhere [09:58] fantasticmrfox: if you don't want to google and actually try to help yourself, I was right not doing it. have a nice day [09:58] wols_: It shouldn't be. Because its a depends of something in main. But apt-cache policy doesn't show it, so it... is probably a clerical error. Since it doesn't exist in /universe/ pool anyway [09:59] Flannel: hmm? there is in the top half (for linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic) [09:59] I already have been googlgin [09:59] is there a way to be able to watch youtube vids with sound on firefox while having rhythmbox open?

I missed that. Security universe, not hardy universe. interesting. Let me check the pool [10:00] Evolution is really unstable. I've tried running it from a terminal window but it doesn't say anything but "Segmentation fault" before quitting. Any ideas? [10:00] Juozapas, thanks, i'll try that out [10:00] :) [10:00] George: read ikonia msg [10:00] Juozapas: did you mean libflashsupport [10:01] wols_, it's ok - I was asking about a system running Debian Etch anyway... wanted to test how you'd react to someone actually in need.

[10:03] George: great news, kudos to Juozapas [10:03] ikonia: um, 2.6.24-19.36 I think [10:03] gaelfx: do you mean the synaptic update ? [10:03] thanks Juozapas :) [10:03] ikonia: yeah, haha, that one [10:03] np ;) [10:03] gaelfx: yes, I'm running that update now [10:03] ok is there s way to tweak your deluge client for optimum performance in terms of speed [10:04] ikonia: ok, I was just wondering if it's totally pertinent or if I can forego it for a while [10:04] gaelfx: thats up to you [10:04] gaelfx / ikonia: did you notice the same weirdness as me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/27585/ (moving from main to universe somehow) [10:05] Weiss: no, I just looked at it in the Update manager, not on Synaptic [10:05] I have a weird problem, sometimes the touchpad stops working correctly: the scrolls stop working, and tap + move (to select text) stops working, but I can still move the mouse and tap to click, etc. And when i go to System -> Prefence -> Mouse and disable touchpad, my pad still works (in the limited ways mentioned earlier) [10:05] Weiss: but since you mention it, I will check Synaptic [10:05] Weiss: not quite sure what your showing me ? [10:06] hi everyone! I cant put compiz-fusion to work. Where am I supposed to turn it on? Ive got it installed and after going to system->preferences->appearance I find nothing that has to do with compiz (expect the visual effects but those are the same as when I didnt had compiz). Can Anyone help me? [10:06] Weiss: I can't see anything strange about that ? [10:06] gaelfx: i noticed when i went to clean out some old packages i don't use any more: the linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic package disappeared from 'main' and reappeared in 'universe', but it clearly belongs in 'main' [10:06] !ccsm | XChat [10:06] XChat: ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[10:13] I'm having a problem mounting my external hdd. I had plugged it into a Windows box and it froze up, and refused to safely remove my hdd, etc. I had no choice but to unplug it, since I needed it back. But now it won't mount. "$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)" force mounting didn't work. If I reformat it on a windows box I will lose way too much information. What do I do? [10:14] i'd do a hard drive check on it first [10:14] yeah, fsck [10:14] GibbaTheHutt, please explain. [10:14] gluonman, does Windows tell you it's not formatted when you plug it in? [10:14] anyone on my glassfish question? [10:14] DistroJockey, no. I don't have an available windows disk. But it shouldn't be a formatting issue. Just a non-safe removal. [10:15] earlier, did you mean windows froze up, or the hd froze up ? [10:15] GibbaTheHutt, Windows froze up. [10:15] Does anyoneknow a app that shows all internet traffic? [10:15] GibbaTheHutt, I tried to do a safe removal, but it rendered an error and froze up. [10:15] gluonman, yeah, well, I asked as you mentioned reformating [10:15] when you plugged the hd in, or was fine and then froze [10:15] or to put it another way, is there a way to upgrade in place from Ubuntu Desktop to Server? [10:15] Just testing [10:15] hey, you guys, try this while true;do echo $'\a';done [10:16] does anyone else have problem with pidgin crashing randomly? [10:16] GibbaTheHutt, I plugged it in just to exchange data from the windows computer to the external, then tried to unplug it. The system froze after I attempted the safe removal command. [10:16] andyeb_: apt-get install glassfish [10:16] kane77-> #pidgin [10:16] cirkit: E: Couldn't find package glassfish [10:16] gluonman, if you can, it is best to safely remove it using Windows. To do this, you may need to have the drive on while booting into Windows [10:17] cirkit: I guess I need to add something to /etc/apt/sources-list but I don't know what [10:17] my beep speakers are having spasms while true;do echo $'\a';done [10:17] guessing its ntfs ? [10:17] GibbaTheHutt, I just assumed ;) [10:17] DistroJockey, I know what you mean. However, I unsafely removed it only because I had no choice. Windows gave me no choice, given it's behaviour in that particular instance. As for now, I have no available Windows machine, and I need to access the external with some urgency. So I was hoping for an Ubuntu solution. [10:18] gluonman, what have you tried to mount it with ? [10:18] GibbaTheHutt, what am I trying to mount it with now you mean? [10:18] Flannel: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic_2.6.24-19.36_i386.deb exists, so does http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic_2.6.24-19.36_i386.deb [10:18] gluonman, ahh, fair enough. You can force it. Not sure on the success of that (never tried) [10:18] yep, as you dont have windows machine to try ? [10:18] Weiss: Yeah, it's a bug. [10:18] DistroJockey, I attempted forcing, but it didn't work. [10:18] andyeb_: make sure you have your repositories enabled in /etc/apt/ [10:19] GibbaTheHutt, I'm using Ubuntu hardy [10:19] Hy all [10:19] andyeb_: also, are you root when you do apt-get install glassfish ? [10:19] what command and what error when you try ? [10:19] cirkit: yup [10:19] gluonman, what error message did you get? [10:19] GibbaTheHutt, $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) [10:20] Flannel: ok - should i report it? (given i don't *really* understand the packaging system) - are any other people likely to have noticed?

[11:18] *blumm [11:18] jokkaa: did you try to remove your existing rule an dgrab a window with gdevilspie yet ? [11:19] DistroJockey, YES thats it [11:19] ikonia, do you know what the problem is? [11:19] blumm: They're pretty good about that in Gentoo [11:19] thank you oh so much [11:19] milestone, you're welcome :) [11:19] I have tried to delete my one and only panel ... but the option in the menu is greyed out [11:19] How show my sysinfo? [11:19] Spence|AWAY: thanks, but it wont switch to gentoo, everything is working so far with ubuntu and i am happy with that :)) [11:19] glitsj16, when i started gdevilspie my xchat and desktop were already there so i just edited them [11:20] milestone, never seen or heard of it before, but there you go. Good luck :) [11:20] Hi, I recently received an update for firefox (from 3.0 to 3.01) via update manager. It's broken one of my most important firefox addons... how can I roll back to firefox 3.0?

He helped me earlier. [11:21] jokkaa: the window name isn't very reliable for a 'match' as it probably will change quite often, i'd try window class or application name [11:21] blumm: And he runs a mac too [11:21] Spence|AWAY: its just a general question actually since i dont understand the structure of linux yet [11:21] jeela: gotta tell you, I'm stumped [11:21] Spence|AWAY: been using windows for 10y and changed few months ago to linux [11:21] gaelfx: ok nevermind [11:21] why can I not delete my panel?

[12:21] DroP-:run it in a terminal and see what errors get outputted [12:22] if I hard poweroff the machine, ubuntu wants to spend ages fscking the drive [12:22] Ubuntu can still mount that drive Aadith [12:22] I thought the point of ext3 was that you didn't need to do that? [12:22] could you please tell me how exactly do i do that? never mind...i am totally new to this linux thing [12:22] JohnFlux2: if you unmount the drive correctly, you wont need to do that [12:23] I have a webcam with the newest uvcvideo driver installed and I'm getting "uvcvideo: Failed to query (1) UVC control 1" when i run dmesg. there is an entry in /dev for video0. i'm not sure if it's a driver or a different problem... [12:23] Light-: right, but i'm not. i'm powering off the machine suddenly [12:23] Aadith: Pop in your ubuntu cd, choose the option to install with wubi [12:23] My sound, after leaving my computer on for a while, stops working, I've restarted ALSA and modprobe snd-CA0106'ed but it doesn't seem to turn the sound back on. Anyone have any suggestions? [12:23] JohnFlux2: ...why? [12:23] Light-: i develop kernel drivers so sometimes the kernel crashes :-) [12:24] JohnFlux2: oh I see [12:24] i do not have an ubuntu cd...i downloaded wubi from the internet [12:24] well, you're way more advanced then I am :P [12:24] Aadith, http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php may answer some questions, but basically, your ubuntu install is stored in a file (c:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk) it might be easier to copy files while within ubuntu to your windows install [12:24] Aadith: " [12:24] No need to burn a CD. Just run the installer, enter a password for the new account, and click "Install", go grab a coffee, and when you are back, Ubuntu will be ready for you." [12:24] Light-: nah, i have only small specific knowledge [12:24] how does it work? The new linux kernel was released 3 days ago 2.6.26... Will there come an update or do we have to wait for 8.10 to be released? [12:25] Light-: I'm trying to work out why it has to do a fsck when I thought the point of ext3 was that you didn't need to [12:25] JohnFlux2: well as far as I know theres no way around it (perhaps theres a way to disable filesystem checking) because if something isnt cleanly unmounted, it requires a check [12:25] Evolution is really unstable. I've tried running it from a terminal window but it doesn't say anything but "Segmentation fault" before quitting. Any ideas? [12:25] Light...i am done with my ubuntu installation through wubi...i need to access from windows files from ubuntu [12:25] light-: hum. I thought with ext3 it could just look at the journal and check those files [12:26] JohnFlux2: maybe, but it doesnt appear to by default. I dont know much about this im afraid [12:26] My sound, after leaving my computer on for a while, stops working, I've restarted ALSA and modprobe snd-CA0106'ed but it doesn't seem to turn the sound back on. Anyone have any suggestions? [12:26] how can I downgrade from Firefox 3.0.1 back to 3.0? [12:26] light thanks [12:27] Light- ...i am done with my ubuntu installation through wubi...i need to access from windows files from ubuntu [12:27] Aadith: oh, lol [12:27] Aadith: are you in ubuntu now? [12:27] Aadith: not really doable with wubi afaik [12:28] yes Light- [12:28] wols_, oh it isnt? cant it mount the windows drive like it normally would if windows was on another partition? [12:28] Is it possible to add a custom resolution in ubuntu? I want to test a specific resolution where i can get black borders above, and under. [12:28] if you put each OS on its own partition, fs-driver.org can do it for ext3, but it can't mount files which is what your wubi ubuntu install is for windows [12:28] Aadith: looks like you'll have to install ubuntu on its own partition [12:28] Light-: clarify what you want then. "i need to access from windows files from ubuntu" is nonsense [12:29] wubi ubuntu running cna mount the windows partitions. [12:29] yes, but windows can't mount ubuntu wubi partitions then [12:29] oh Light- thats so sad [12:29] wols_: Aadith is the one who wants to access windows files from ubuntu, not me [12:29] So from ubuntu yes. Most ubuntu need ntfs3g added it write. [12:29] !ntfs-3g | Aadith [12:29] Aadith: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [12:30] will the new kernel be automatically updated? [12:30] wait so it is possible now? o_O [12:30] * Light- hasnt used wubi [12:30] wols_ does ntfs-3g work with ubuntu installed on windows partition through wubi as well? [12:30] wubi is just ubuntu running on a loop back file. [12:30] sure [12:30] Aadith: in your "Places" menu, do you see the windows drive listed? [12:30] Can cause some fun changing its mount type from ro. [12:31] but i tried ad failed wols_ [12:31] Aadith: fdisk -l [12:31] sudo fdisk -l [12:31] Aadith: just cause you can't do it doesn't mean it's not possible [12:32] initrd alteration from memory for the one drive where the loop back is. [12:32] So the ntfs drive is mounted right from the get go. [12:32] My sound, after leaving my computer on for a while, stops working, I've restarted ALSA and modprobe snd-CA0106'ed but it doesn't seem to turn the sound back on. Anyone have any suggestions? [12:32] neeto: try restarting pulse? [12:33] well wols_ i didnt mean that...i was windering why its behaviour is inconsistent across environments [12:33] i got real trouble, yesterday my keyboard went crazy, every button works fine until i actually log on, then the numbad buttons stop working (/*+-...) [12:34] how to fix that? [12:34] opt1k: is it possible you somehow changed your keyboard layout? [12:34] oh yeah.. when i press n hold for example 1 on my numpad my mouse pointer moves [12:34] Light- don't think so, i haven't messed with kbd layout since i installed ubuntu [12:35] Hi guys. New machine I'm building is a dual core 64 bit intel system, 6GB RAM. Do I need a swap partition, and if so, how big should it be? [12:35] hey guys, my bold is adding to much of a buffer between my spaces [12:35] Stormx2: Better make one to be safe. My 4GB ram system has a 2GB swap and its never come close to being full [12:35] how can I tweak the bold on my ubuntu ? [12:36] hey all, i installed tor, and now i cant update with synaptic, any ideas on how to get this fixed? [12:36] im using anon-proxy too [12:36] any help would be really awesome, thanks. [12:36] Stormx2: The old rule was make swap double the size of your RAM but with RAM being in such large amounts these days... [12:36] Light-, yeah, I know the old rule [12:36] how can I tweak the bold on my ubuntu ? [12:36] But 12GB of swap seemed insane [12:36] there are to many spaces [12:36] yeah I agree [12:36] Light->obviously i somehow turned on the "control pointer with keyboard" [12:36] hi all [12:36] i've hp dv900 [12:37] dv9000 [12:37] Stormx2, if you wish to suspend or hibernate then you need 6GB swap [12:37] Linux most users 1 gb is enough. [12:37] Unless you want to use suspend or hibernate. [12:37] Then ram size + 1 gb is enough. [12:37] hi. which group must a user be in to be able to use sudo [12:37] bartmon: admin [12:37] Linux is not like windows on swapspace requirement. [12:37] Stormx2: I think it all depends on your needs. I have 2g ram, and I have only used swap twice, ever. Both were because of memory related crashes : P [12:38] and have pb with sound, when using earpiece i can heart from earpiece and my laptop [12:38] hey y'all [12:38] opt1k: do you know where you enabled the option? perhaps you coudl navigate back there with the keyboard to disable it [12:38] Ie Linux programs cannot shove stack loads of stuff straight to swap. [12:38] Starnestommy: Thanks! [12:38] A evil feature of windows that has pusshed swap usage threw the roof on windows. [12:39] Light-: no clue on that, all i know i was workin in blender yesterday night and when i closed it my keypad went ballistics [12:40] opt1k: sorry I dont know where the option is. [12:40] anyone else know? [12:40] maybe blender shares some shortcuts with ubuntu [12:40] Light-: I solved the problem now [12:40] blender has short cuts everywhere. [12:40] goin 2 eat now.. :D cya! [12:40] Some times safer to run blender wm less. [12:40] tx [12:41] oiaohm, that's a nice tip [12:45] hello [12:45] hi shanyi\ [12:46] i need some help [12:46] !ask [12:46] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:47] :) [12:48] so under hardy heron and audacious i want to creat an on screen display [12:48] when the track is changed, i'd see a blue box in the middle o the screen for seconds, with the current track [12:49] title and artist, could everybody help me? [12:50] shanyi: I think thats an audacious question and not an ubuntu question [12:52] you're right, but there isn't audacious channel, and when it is, it's empty :S [12:52] I have a webcam with the newest uvcvideo driver installed and I'm getting "uvcvideo: Failed to query (1) UVC control 1" when i run dmesg. there is an entry in /dev for video0. i'm not sure if it's a driver or a different problem...

[12:54] its irritating having to keep hiding the panel to close a window [12:55] Johnny: try the compiz fusion channel [12:55] they're never any help [12:55] Johhny, you can move a window by holding ALT and dragging [12:55] hello@all [12:55] ok that helps peaces [12:55] thank you much [12:56] no problem. :) [12:56] Ubuntu 8.04 won't start with connected USB keyboard [12:56] you wouldnt happen to know how to get awn started would you?

[12:58] how do i extract a bie file on this linux [12:58] pmpaco: define "wont start". do you get to the login screen at all? [12:58] BMS: visit a website that uses flash, and firefox will ask you to install it. follow the instructions [12:58] BMS, just install the flashplugin-nonfree package from within synaptic [12:58] peaces, that only installs flash for the current user tho [12:58] Hello guys.. anyone has anyclue how to put Realtek RTL8187B Internal USD (recognises as RTL8187B on Ubuntu) to work ? [12:58] i did and it did not install [12:58] johnny i would go ahead and try to rule oyut compiz... go to system>preferences>appearence, and on the visual tab turn it off, see if that helps [12:58] Light, after Grub the boot stops. [12:58] how do i extract a bie file on this linux [12:58] rule out* [12:58] Light, black screen [12:58] !flash | BMS [12:59] BMS: 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 [12:59] k kevinO that worked thanks [12:59] pmpaco: what happens if you plug in the keyboard after it starts?

Is it possible for ubuntu to use hardware RAID in the installer? [13:00] (btw, the !raid factoid goes to a dead link) [13:00] Light, only the mouse. But others without power [13:01] Stormx2: wouldnt hardware raid mean that the raid array appears as one normal drive to the system? [13:01] kevinO, well, if he can't spell, it's not surprising he can extract [13:01] pmpaco: sorry, not sure whats going on there [13:01] Hello guys.. anyone has any clue on how to put Realtek RTL8187B Internal USD (recognises as RTL8187B on Ubuntu) to work ? - I alreday tried via ndiswrapper and some mod drivers.. but I couldn't conect via WPA Auth [13:01] Light-, i know, but ubuntu sees it as as two. [13:01] its a fucking bie file not bin [13:01] Light, the problem emerges only with my new keyboard. Apple Alu. [13:01] Light-, the windows vista installer only sees one tho. [13:01] I need help to let the user seb execute a few sudo commands without beeing asked for password...

[13:08] Hi. Ich würde gerne mein Home Laufwerk verschlüsseln.

I'm in trouble with FF3. I'm getting too much seg fault on it. I suspect that some extension is causing it. Do you know how can I find out that? [13:13] racquad: disable your extensions one by one and see if it segfaults [13:13] unop, so i did: "grep -inRH ." but does it take longer than "ls -R | grep hpricot" as Light- advised? [13:13] why does take longer ... ? [13:13] What's that thing about an important security update that come from an unauthorized source? [13:13] tobago, what Light- suggested does not do what you want [13:13] Light-: I thought about that. But I also thought that will be easier if I could get any dump from FF [13:13] Should I install it? [13:14] racquad: or try running it through a terminal and see if it says anything useful [13:14] unop, ah. o.k. [13:14] unop, thanks again.. I'll try it now... maybe I'll be back here from my Ubuntu LOL [13:14] Light-: nothing. just "Segmentation Fault".

(Hardy + Gnome + Compiz here) [13:34] heya. is there by chance any bugfix/workaround/whatsoever to get the m-audio delta audiophile 2496 (ice1712) working with or without pluseaudio? the only thing I can do is listening to music via ALSA, the whole sound apps (JACK, LinuxSampler/QSampler etc.) do not work for me...

I followed the steps at the bottom of: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [13:54] I am stupid [13:54] but nothing happens [13:54] St-Lemur: probably you need to install a proprietary nvidia driver [13:54] AMorozov: it worked fine for my purpose, thanks a lot ! [13:54] what wirless card should I buy to replace wats in here [13:54] sinan: yw. [13:54] Rowellen, you need the alternate iso [13:54] rhodes3, you need the alternate install cd to do an upgrade from the cd , or the dvd , not the live cd [13:55] AMorozov: I had one installed. Does it need reinstalling? [13:55] awn wont work [13:55] rhodes3, my bad that was for Rowellen [13:55] when i click on the icons [13:55] lol [13:55] St-Lemur: probably no. You should check in logs what's going on. [13:55] Johnny, cairo-docs works better [13:55] AMorozov: How do I do that? [13:55] how do i get it Pelo [13:56] I wish I could get this wireless to sork [13:56] crap sorry [13:56] sebrock: userlogin ALL=NOPASSWD: /path/to/command1, /path/to/command2 etc [13:56] thank you [13:56] Johnny, I think it is in the repos but if not, google there is a .deb for it somewhere [13:56] St-Lemur: I've just discovered the same issue. Your graphics were working before, correct? [13:56] LaNCeloT-RW, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OfflinePackageDownload [13:56] St-Lemur: well, you may look at /var/log/Xorg*.log [13:56] fyrestrtr, thats what I have [13:56] reboot needed? [13:56] Webspot: Yes, they were fine until last night, which was my first reboot in about 6 months. [13:56] logout and login [13:56] ah [13:56] wigren, found a bug while trying to do what you want. But you should be able to remove it by right clicking on the Place in nautilus and deleting it [13:57] St-Lemur: If you select the old kernel in the bootloader you can get your graphics working. [13:57] hi [13:57] anyone know of a full list of hardware supported throught the restricted driver manager ? [13:57] dammit none of the icons install work [13:57] St-Lemur: I guess there's a problem with a new update. [13:57] is there a way to make the drawer applet not to animate the popups ? [13:57] they wont show up in the settings manager [13:57] i want them to just appear/disappear, without that 'scrolling' [13:57] Webspot: Last time I upgraded my kernel I had to manually enable something...do I have to do that again? I don't remember what I did, I seem to recall something about Intel chipsets? [13:57] Backspace button does not work in "screen". Can you help me fixing it?? [13:58] St-Lemur: I'm recalling that recent SuSEs have a nice installation procedure for such drivers. I really don't remember if Ubuntu has one. [13:58] unop, thanks. I'll check that [13:58] cemc, just right click on the drawer and check for a preference menu entry [13:58] Hi All, I need Intel536ep Source Code Driver, Please Help me [13:58] I still have no wirless [13:58] I logi in agin [13:58] lol [13:58] St-Lemur: I don't believe so. I'm not that knowledgable though :) [13:58] DistroJocky, i want to keep the directory, i just dont want it to be in the places menu. its not a big deal, just me being type-a. thanks for the help [13:58] Pelo: there is a 'Properties', but there's nothing about this animation in there [13:58] Mohammad[B]: try the intel site, they have source downloads available. [13:59] !wifi | rhodes3 review the proceedure [13:59] rhodes3 review the proceedure: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:59] St-Lemur: you need to have a "kernel module" matching both Linux kernel and "User-space" graphics driver. [13:59] Pelo: icon, size, background, and stuff. i was thinking about tweaking something in the config files, or something like that [13:59] fyrestrtr, still doesnt work [13:59] cemc, you can try and check in gconf-editor but no promisses [13:59] I even rebooted [13:59] is there a way to get killall to work with grep [13:59] Unfortunately I don't have a "desktop ubuntu" under my fingers so I can't suggest more precisely. [13:59] wigren, you will keep the directory [13:59] killall -9 *$ | grep i * or something [13:59] fyrestrtr, tnx :) [14:00] sebrock: how did you edit the file? [14:00] Johnny, try try sudo pkill progname [14:00] wigren, open nautilus [14:00] Johnny: sudo isn't needed if your user owns the process [14:00] i cant see the full program name Pelo hence grep [14:00] wigren, you have a places menu on the left right? [14:00] hi i'm having serious issues with i950GMA on hardy [14:00] i didnt say it did Pichu0102 [14:00] it freezes [14:01] even after i upgrade to the latest kernel [14:01] how to change priority for startup programs? i read that there used to be an option for that [14:01] my gnome starts [14:01] and FREEEEZES :( [14:01] Soul_Sample: system startup, or your session startup? [14:01] fyrestrtr, visudo: sebastian ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff, /home/sebastian/myth_restart [14:01] Johnny, pkill should be able to grab a partial name , like sudo pkill firef just killed firefox for me [14:01] DistroJocky, I see what you mean now. i had removed the side pane. thanks that did it [14:01] DistroJockey, this is ubuntu from before - i followed the instructions on that guide, and I now have correct HorizSync and VertRefresh values, but if I attempt to add my Modes line, it will only start in low-graphics mode [14:01] ok Pelo thanks [14:02] unop, I read the how to but I couldnt understand where to get the uri_list to download the packages ? O_o ? [14:02] wigren, cool :) You're welcome [14:02] fyrestrtr: my session - for example skype and such. i'm trying to run 2 customized (by devilspie) terminals, but they seem to start before devilspie and avoid the rules i've set, so i have to run them manually every time [14:02] gausie, can you pastebin you /etc/X11/xorg.conf file please? [14:02] hi [14:03] DistroJockey, with or without changes? [14:03] gausie, the one you wish to end up using is best [14:03] do youu know if it is possible to install a package for ubuntu7.10 , on ubuntu 8.04 ? [14:04] gausie, the one that works best :) [14:04] LaNCeloT-RW, it's generated by the commands in step 1 and step 2 === Felipe__ is now known as LaNCeloT__RW [14:04] fyrestrtr, visudo: sebastian ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff, /home/sebastian/myth_restart [14:04] DistroJockey, http://www.pastebin.ca/1073324 is what I want, and http://www.pastebin.ca/1073325 actually works [14:04] thats what I have [14:04] unop, let me see .. [14:04] How can i see if compiz is running? [14:04] Soul_Sample: I can't help you because I have never heard of devilspie or know of it, but to manage your session startup programs, its System > Preferences > Sessions in gnome. [14:04] gausie, k, looking [14:04] LaNCeloT-RW, then you'll need to copy it over to your windows machine using a flash drive or something [14:05] DistroJockey, thanks :-):-) [14:05] sebrock: if those programs are setuid root, then you'll need more than sudo to get them to run without password. [14:05] <_Brun0_> anyone can recomend a wireless card for my notebook (miniPCI) that will work "out of the box" in hardy heron? probably it will be Intel ones?

[14:06] St-Lemur: try lsmod | grep nvidia :-) [14:06] fyrestrtr: yes, but there's no priority option or anything like that. and devilspie is just a program that resizes\customizes programs based on the window title or type... and basically, i need it to load the rules before the custom terminals are created because otherwise they open up normally [14:06] Got it all working.. Just bought this laptop yesterday, finally got everything about right [14:06] AMorozov: It found something [14:06] Soul_Sample: I know of a 'crude' way to do it, but that's only because I don't bother with that kind of stuff :) I'm sure someone knows the 'right' way. [14:06] had a hell of a time with my wireless [14:06] damn broadcom [14:06] fyrestrtr, ? what do I need to do then? chmod the commands?

[14:38] gausie, the drivers you are using at the moment might not be capable of supporting that resolution [14:38] Hello [14:39] sisseck: check for errors, but if you get alot of text you probably have a working OpenGL setup [14:39] i have the driver but when i run it in termanel it says it needs to be run under root to install, how do i logg on as root?

[14:48] server* [14:48] patrik: he left just as I was about to get into my story of how I cannot get XP nor vista drivers for my 6-channel 48-bit soundcard, yet Linux just works with it.... 8) [14:49] ok unop. worked its an ext3 with filesystem errors - needs journal recovery [14:49] gausie, you want 1400x900 [14:49] anyone??/ please [14:49] Michael88: you need to install ssh [14:49] sisseck: then don't know sorry. i have ati card not familiar with sis [14:49] i have ssh [14:49] unop, yes [14:49] slashzul, time to run an fsck on the system -- is this a removable or fixed drive? [14:49] Michael88: so just put the ip address in putty and connect with your username and password [14:49] Michael88: sudo apt-get install openssh-server on your ubuntu box [14:49] i'm connected with putty on it now...but how can i browse my files? [14:50] gausie, change this line Modes "1400x900" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" to Modes "1400x900" # see if that helps [14:50] You know, speaking of drivers, just upgraded my vid card drivers through envy, now Direct Rendering doesn't work [14:50] Michael88: type dir [14:50] is it worth it to install emerald?

I booted from live disk [14:50] thx :D [14:50] doesnt boot up [14:50] or ls [14:50] !cli | Michael88 this might help [14:50] Michael88 this might help: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [14:50] how do you recover an ext3 journal filesystem? [14:50] Downix: Yeah, and some people just don't understand that computers are complicated stuff and you can't just expect them to read your mind. [14:50] !fsck | slashzul [14:50] slashzul: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [14:50] what is the difference between dir and ls is it just the coloring to differentiate between files and dirs and stuff? [14:50] slashzul: I plug it in and fsck it. [14:51] patrik: indeed. Someone once said they wanted the simplest computer possible, so I sat them before my C64. [14:51] will running fsck do an ext3 journal recovery or will it delete all my files? [14:51] hi i got an error message on my Ubuntu memtest what could it mean? [14:51] legend2440: well back to the hammer strategy then :-p [14:51] i installed Ubuntu server 8.04 but want to install SSH onto it so I can SSH into the box....what is the command to install a ssh server? [14:52] QuickGold: sudo apt-get install ssh [14:52] slashzul, It will recover, not delete. Thankfully ext3 is just ext2 with journalling, you can mount them as ext2 incase of tital journal failure [14:52] slashzul: fsck does not delete files unless they are corrupted beyond fsck's capabilities, which would indicate a hardware failure [14:52] nixnoob: tried that but it tells me to install openssh-client [14:52] QuickGold: sudo apt-get install openssh-client openssh-server [14:52] i have a broken package on my system. Is it safe for me to run "apt-get -f install" and "dpkg --configure -a" ? [14:52] nixnoob: let me try that [14:52] xorand_, yes [14:52] xorand_: yup [14:53] QuickGold: ssh is a metapacakge it should work but if not then the other command i gave you is the manual one [14:53] will that clear it off my system? [14:53] THANKS. Im recovering our Head Honchos ubuntu laptop..... [14:53] QuickGold, sudo aptitude install openssh-server [14:53] ever hear of Zareason ? ubuntu laptops? [14:53] xorand_: it depends how broken it is [14:53] unop: a dollar short and a day late. [14:53] xorand_, it will try its best not to [14:54] unop: :) [14:54] I was trying to install gforge from the ubunut repo's [14:54] nixnoob, openssh-client is installed by default :) [14:54] and it broke halfway [14:54] Downix: Exactly, but people expect to have the latest tech and features but they don't care to learn about it. Just because you buy the tools to build a house it doesn't mean you can build one. [14:54] unop: ahhh i didnt think about it, now that i do you are right [14:54] sisseck: sorry looks like compiz won't work with that card http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=717716 [14:55] hi all my internet on ubuntu is wack anyone know y when i start a ppp conection it seems to work but i cant go on any sites my irc works but no sites on the web it keeps making ppp0 and then ppp1. can anyone help pls [14:55] patrik: indeed. I chalk it up to the lazyness culture we've bred [14:55] DroP-PsyChoSiS: DNS problems? [14:55] ye i think so :/ but i dunno how to fix [14:55] any body know what Error 28 could mean in Ubuntu memtest? [14:56] DroP-PsyChoSiS: try manually setting a DNS server? [14:56] newb__: it probably means your memory is broken. [14:56] nixnoob, dunno how and i would google it but google dont work :/ [14:56] nixnoob: Input doesn't fit in memory it says [14:56] haha [14:56] Huh, tried it and noticed that gforge is configured to httpd.conf. I know that ubuntu has a symlink to that file and httpd.conf is actually empty. That's why the install fails. And I got this package from ubuntu, grrr [14:56] newb__: try to google memtest error 28 [14:57] i did [14:57] but none of the answers are convincing [14:57] hi [14:57] all [14:57] DroP-PsyChoSiS: im tempted to give you google ip address... lol [14:57] oh, cairo-dock is only on intrepid repos...no backports yet...guess I need to do the old dpkg -i way... [14:57] it comes with error nivida installer must be run as root [14:57] is ubuntu mutithreaded? [14:57] DroP-PsyChoSiS: sorry im not familiar with ppp connections but perhaps you should check in network-manager settings for your ethernet card. [14:57] where are the DNS entries in ubuntu stored? [14:57] nixnoob: some morons claim it has to do with DUAL booting XP. but what does XP got to do with a memtest? this is just a program which pushes different patterns around in the mem and sees if everything is fine. [14:58] john-technical, are you using envy? [14:58] how can i copy/paste files using root graphically? [14:58] newb__: i agree with you, dual booting has nothing to do with memtest. why are you running memtest in the first place? have you been having problems? [14:59] AMDpenguin, Are you seriously asking that question? [14:59] i need a quick and easy way to transcode a video file [14:59] gooody, you can, but it is not recommended. gksudo nautilus # opens up a root file manager [14:59] umm yes [14:59] ok guys, I just ran fsck on /dev/sda1 and the only thing it recovered was lost+found [14:59] mrynit: from what to what? [14:59] whats envy? [14:59] why do i get "x package has no installation candidate"? [14:59] I just started learning computer science [14:59] mrynit, ffmpeg -i file.mpeg file.avi [14:59] df -h shows 28% full but nothing shows with ls -la [14:59] Downix, RAW AVI from video camera to some thing smaller and youtube friendly [14:59] not hardware but the low level stuff like kernels [14:59] unop: why it is not recommended? [14:59] unop, nope it still didnt work [15:00] asks for password [15:00] nixnoob: yes. compiz fusion freezes! [15:00] AMDpenguin, I've had multi-theading with Linux for over a decade. [15:00] QuickGold, /etc/resolv.conf [15:00] i downloaded the file from nvidia used the su command and it gives me the root error [15:00] Kartagis, it might mean that you don't have all the ubuntu repositories enabled [15:00] gooody, because if you are reckless, you can do serious damage to your system [15:00] john-technical, don't use the nvidia download, it can cause issues due to root permissions. Install envy. One sec for the command [15:00] sebrock, ok, why won't it work? [15:00] newb__: that is probably not related to memory but rather video card driver bug or compiz bug. [15:00] john-technical, sudo apt-get install envyng-core [15:01] nixnoob: yea i'm using a 945 GMA. [15:01] unop: how do I know which repository has it? is it best to enable all repositories? [15:01] newb__: unless you have a low RAM system that share VRAM, ahhh i typed it all for nothing. [15:01] hi, trying to migrate my ubuntu installation to a bigger drive, and having trouble updating grub. it keeps mounting my old drive (now the 2nd drive) as / - what do i need to update to make the main partition in the new drive / ? [15:01] nixnoob: i have 1 GB of ram. [15:01] Kartagis, you can find out using packages.ubuntu.com -- but yea, enable all the ubuntu repos [15:01] and 2 gb on another machine [15:01] both are new and use some sucky Transcend RAM [15:01] unop: OK, thanks a lot for the info and help. [15:01] (tried changing the uuid assigned as root in menu.lst to /dev/sda2 but didn't work) [15:02] AMDpenguin, If you get to it, you can build any Linux to work either way, as a single threaded or multi-threaded setup. But, it is rare to see a single threaded system anymore outside of the embeded field [15:02] Downix, RAW AVI from video camera to some thing smaller and youtube friendly [15:02] newb__: yea but the GPU shares RAM from the system so it could spill over and trigger a freeze if theres a problem with RAM [15:02] mrynit: someone else just gave you the answer [15:02] nixnoob: precisely what is happening. [15:02] thanks [15:03] is there a way to stop keyring ask me for password to open evolution, i am the only user of my home box, and it is (a bit) boring... [15:03] th0r: what if there is no existing file there? how do I setup the DNS entries? [15:03] nixnoob: it's working BEAUTIFULLY on a 512 MB ram machine and p4 [15:03] i am using auto log in, is there a way to open this keyring at booting? [15:03] nixnoob: but it's not working on this new set of machines i got [15:03] icqnumber, have you tried getting gnome-keyring to remember your password [15:03] newb__: If memtest gives any error I suggest just swapping out the RAM see if it helps and then you can be sure, it will sure as hell be faster than figuring out what error 28 is.... [15:03] sohocoke, did you run 'update-grub'? [15:03] unop, howto? [15:04] QuickGold, you can create the file...it is just a text file. There are how-tos on the web [15:04] th0r: i read the man pages for it and thought that wouldn't help. it sounded like a tool i'd use when, say i upgraded the kernel in the boot part [15:04] th0r: thanks. can you link me to a good one? [15:04] meh googleing helped [15:04] does it also update mounts? [15:04] nixnoob: i will IF i get a non defective chip [15:05] icqnumber, i don't remember how it is done, and i don't use gnome -- but i would have a look in gnome-keyring-manager [15:05] unop: thanks, that worked [15:05] sohocoke-> modify the /boot/grub/device.map to point to your new drive [15:05] unop: You don't use Gnome???

[15:08] unop: 3 or more will give you same amount as 2 [15:08] newb__: dell is overprice IMO, i buy may parts from newegg and tigerdirect [15:08] gnomefreak, cool [15:08] oh, hmm, wait a minute: mount is lying to me!

[15:10] newb__: i kno its a New Jersey based company AFAIK [15:10] sohocoke, if I remember right there is an update command that you have to run when you change menu.lst...I thought that might be it. Also check for a switch for grub (like maybe 'grub update'?) [15:10] i have a notebook with broken cd drive, the notebook cant boot from a usb cd drive, so i just have a floppy drive, i want to install ubuntu/mythbuntu. is it possible to boot from floppy and then run the installation from a usb cd drive? [15:10] nixnoob: ordered stuff from newegg when i was in USA and they give 100% quality or ur money back [15:10] sohocoke, and if you are trying to boot off sda2 now instead of sda1 you will have to change the 'hd(x,y)' in menu.lst as well [15:10] QuickGold, google.com [15:11] newb__: yea and even if the parts are bad they RMA real quick and easy. [15:11] if i want to exclude certain files from my archive, how can i say that in the cli?

[15:29] St-Lemur: one can paste from CLI [15:29] wols_: I don't know how to do that [15:29] Downix Very often that is due to unsupported hardware/monitor that does not identify correctly.

[15:36] Malgaur: well it's either the e1000 driver having an issue, or the device in front of your server thats causing an issue [15:36] St-Lemur: you could just do sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit [15:36] St-Lemur: but for fileupload, pastebin.ca/upload.php [15:37] hi guys.. anyone has a REALLY-WORKING-WAY to get RTL8187B working on Ubuntu 8.04?

My myth-frontend wont start!? [15:52] By default SWAT wants root to be looged in for edits [15:52] How ot change it to another user? [15:52] C_Jack: /etc/program_name or ~/.programname [15:52] C_Jack: are you running it under wine? [15:52] fantomas: oh...you mean SWAT asks you for the root password [15:52] fantomas: then set the root password.... sudo passwd [15:52] is there a software package that would allow me to run different tests on a cd drive? [15:52] C_Jack: check ~/.wine/ there should be a registry kind of thing in there [15:53] pestilence: yeah, because it is pretty dumb web application :) [15:53] pestilence bad idea [15:53] Jack_Sparrow: sometimes you just have to [15:53] ikonia, ok, swapping gave the same result, the local was fine but the external is broken.

DIdn't help, but I got it [15:53] fantomas: so when you are done, sudo passwd -l [15:53] It should be a simple fix or a missed config file I missed to get apt to consider my home-built package over a precompiled one of the same version, but I've hit nothing but silence everywhere for two days now [15:53] Downix but you were able to set to generic lcd and restarted x [15:53] is there a software package that would allow me to run different tests on a cd drive? like speed tests, quality tests, ec [15:53] if you are worried about "perverting the ubuntu way" whatever that might be [15:54] Myth tv anyone???

[16:08] DarkAudit: but it is quite pointless to build ubuntu packages from source. [16:08] nixnoob: I'm past the point of gathering the source and compiling, but when it's time to install the package, apt is going to the wrong place, even with my local directory in sources.list [16:08] edugonch: desktops are personal preference, it doesn't matter what other people think [16:08] edugonch, you can just install a lighter desktop/window manager on a normal ubuntu install. [16:09] hi anyone [16:09] edugonch, it all depends on 'how' you work. I am currently using jwm the ROX file manager. [16:09] i must copy file ~/.ssh/ in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. [16:09] hi [16:09] can i ask something about gimp here ? [16:09] indra: yes, I've explained that to you [16:09] it works I found the problem yea [16:09] I am god [16:09] DarkAudit: apt-build pulls the source from the repos and compiles it, im not sure that you can make it build source you have manually downloaded by pointing it to the extracted archive directory.... [16:09] anyone know how I can get my ubuntu system to tie virtualbox-ose-modules package to kernel version so that when update manager updates my kernel it updates the vbox ose modules as well? [16:09] ubutu rocks [16:10] I see, so I can have a normal installation of ubuntu and have fluxbox like window manager working with gnome? [16:10] edugonch: working instead of gnome [16:10] i'm not sure if my disks are ok, i heard of s.m.a.r.t., in my bios it is disabled, how to make a test if all physically is allright? [16:10] tharvey: should do it automagically. [16:10] The_ManU_212: enable smart in the bios [16:10] ok, thanks [16:10] the acer 4720 z needs the driver net 52121 and nothing else [16:10] If you're so good, can you solve my trouble, rhodes3? I'm a total linux noob, and trying to get my wireless to respond. [16:11] UBUNTU!!! [16:11] nixnoob: that's not the problem. apt-build install (package) does exactly what it's supposed to as far as compiling is concerned. it's when it's time to actually install that new package that I hit a problem... [16:11] C_Jack: can you please stop that [16:11] no.. [16:11] C_Jack: you've made a few outbursts now, this is a support channel only [16:11] for wireless to work with crypto [16:11] nixnoob, what process would enable that to occur? How would the kernel package know about modules that depend on it and try to update them as well? [16:11] im angry [16:11] lol [16:11] C_Jack: the channel doesn't need to hear about it, please stop [16:11] C_Jack, please take it elsewhere [16:11] C_Jack: we can help you with your problems though [16:11] fuck you [16:11] DarkAudit: i see, im not sure i dont really use apt-build [16:11] only windows can help me not ubuntu... :( [16:11] The Best Online RPG / Strategy game ever : http://www.fallensword.com/?ref=1461055 [16:11] rhodes3, no cursing here [16:12] nixnoob: instead of installing the package on my local folder like I expect it to, apt will download and install the precompiled package off the remote repositories, even when the packages are te same version [16:12] C_Jack: please use windows then [16:12] ikonia: btw my ram was broken, i buyed new one, all fine...and how to make a test or to get smart messages? [16:12] bought is the bast of buy :P [16:12] too late.... lost infomation.. :( [16:12] The_ManU_212: memcheck on your grub menu can test your ram, it's quite a slow process though, be warned [16:12] nixnoob: it's more of a problem with apt considering one repo over another, and my preferences file isn't making a difference [16:13] tharvey: when the kernel gets updated im pretty sure that packages with kernel modules get updated as well [16:13] The_ManU_212: use smartmontools and do a long test [16:13] C_Jack: you are here because you want help, right? tell us your problem [16:13] hi, how to i tell the installer to bypass specific modules? debian has problems to work with my laptop-sata so i had to do the WUBI-Method but after rebooting i get ata-errors. [16:13] DarkAudit: apt-cache policy helps [16:13] its ah me, mario [16:13] ikonia: yes my ram now is fine, perhaps you dont remmeber me, i only wnated to say now all its fine...now i want to use smart and want to amke a diagnosis [16:13] DarkAudit: are there perhaps any switches you can issue to apt-build that would persuade it to install the compiled packages after compiling? === nondescriptfigur is now known as ndf [16:13] wols_: ok [16:13] The_ManU_212: oh, ok, well I'm glad your working now [16:14] nixnoob: I'm trying to find out... no luck yet [16:14] David-A , does matter anymore, information is coruped .:( [16:14] wols_: the repos in question are both at level 500 atm [16:14] bye i go to think about sometjing [16:14] I'm a total linux noob, and trying to get my wireless to respond. Anyone willing/able to help? [16:14] ikonia wols_so i have to enalbe smart in bios and have to install smartmontools, if it says ok, my hdd are fine? [16:14] nixnoob, they don't... I've gone through several kernel upgrades with Ubuntu 8.04 and each time virtualbox-ose-modules does not get updated as a dependency [16:14] Is there full functional NTFS driver in Ubuntu? [16:14] DarkAudit: then higher version wins [16:14] fantomas: yes [16:14] fantomas: read/write,yes [16:15] !wlan | Liu [16:15] Liu: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:15] Liu: what model dynex card? [16:15] there must be hook/script thats called when a kernel has been updated via apt/dpkg? [16:15] C_Jack: what happened? [16:15] wols_: both the local and remote packages are the same version (or should be) [16:15] Legend: DX-WGPNBC [16:16] DarkAudit: no "should". check. use apt-cache policy [16:17] ikonia: you mean 'ntfs' is that driver?! [16:17] DarkAudit: in theory there should be no extra switch as far as i can tell it should just install the source [16:17] Liu: thie person in post #2 appears to have figured out how to get it to work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1777420#post1777420 [16:17] ikonia: khool [16:17] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27752/ [16:17] fantomas: ntfs is read only, ntfs-3g is read/write [16:17] Any idea where totem saves the files when it plays from a location? [16:17] wols_: they're the same [16:18] using hamachi? [16:18] m-c: its streaming them, not saving them. === braden_ is now known as zod21 [16:18] wols_: same here for xine-ui: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27753/ [16:18] ikonia: I've just created directory on Windows partition. I specified 'ntfs' as fs rype. So I think ntfs-3g handles this now [16:19] ikonia, wols_so i have to enable smart in bios and have to install smartmontools, if it says ok, my hdd are fine? [16:19] fantomas: it will handle it [16:19] The_ManU_212: pretty much [16:19] legend:I must be a complete idiot or something, I cannot seem to get these instructions to work. [16:19] well, settin up my new amd64 system went perfectly...not that I had any doubts [16:19] The_ManU_212: you can fsck the file systems to check the file systems rather than the physical devices [16:19] fyrestrtr: hmm - okay, thanks for your thoughts [16:19] DarkAudit: and it doesn't say "foo is already the newest version"? [16:19] anyone here us hamachi on ubunbtu?

[16:20] hi [16:20] !info hamachi [16:20] Package hamachi does not exist in hardy [16:20] shut up ubottu [16:20] ikonia: my fsck logs are fine, alegedly fsck is creating this file every boot, but only all 30 mounts its taking time to test the device...

If I do an apt-build --reinstall install the package will compile then install the remote version [16:21] The_ManU_212: then I wouldn't worry too much [16:21] have you tried synaptics iplaythisgame [16:21] here's a question, though, and I don't have the system handy to tell you the exact error, I tried using the current config to build a vanilla 2.6.26 kernel, and I kept getting non-fatal errors on pci express. I also (stupidly) tried to install the "official" nvidia driver, which of course didn't work. before you ask, I was just building a vanilla kernel with the proc set to be amd64 and preemptible.

[16:22] is there a program toconvert wav or mp3 files to gsm files? [16:23] edugonch: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [16:23] thats gnome [16:23] wols_: isn't apt-build install meant to install the freshly compiled package? Otherwise it's just a compiliation demo [16:23] or sudo apt-get install gnome [16:23] thanks [16:23] edugonch, just install ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop (or both) and the login manager 'sessions' menu will have a entry for each. thats the easiest way. [16:23] Thanks, I'll do it [16:23] zod21: depending on the release apt-get install gnome is broken [16:23] nothing better than gnome... bad experience with kde -_- ..... [16:23] Is there a way to issue multiple command on the same line? [16:23] hey edugonch when it it asks you whether to have gdm or kdm as defaust pick gdm [16:23] when I close my laptop and then return my computer wont wake back up into ubuntu... how can I fix this? [16:24] Dumb question: How do I even change directories in the terminal? [16:24] edugonch, this is linux. Use what you like. :) I will stick with my own. [16:24] Yes ;) [16:24] Liu, cd / [16:24] Liu, 'cd' command. Time to read a few bash basics tutorials. [16:24] edugonch: the only good gnome is a ganked gnome.

The streamed data is not saved anywhere on disk? [16:25] Hello. Can anyone point me to a internet shearing how to or tell me how to do it? [16:25] edugonch how is it goin, you can do this in another terminal right now [16:25] !ics [16:25] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [16:25] m-c: it would not be streaming if it were saving all of it :) [16:26] thanks [16:26] ASULutzy, aha, thanks [16:26] I thought it might be that [16:26] m-c: with your idea, if I were streaming a 5 gig file, then I would have at the end of the stream, a 5 gig "temp" file somewhere on my system. Kinda defeats the purpose of streaming. [16:26] ikonia: i read that in smartmontools i can activate smart of a device, but why to set additional on in bios, recommend you to activate first in bios, before testing? [16:26] Yes, I'm in that, ;) [16:27] well good luck man [16:27] is it possible to tunnel my firefox traffic on a windows box through my ssh connection to my ubuntu box at home? [16:27] fyrestrtr: Hmm - other media players download the file into a temporary directory, when they open a URL location. I thought streaming was when there was no file, but connecting to a network port. [16:27] Hi, I'm currently installing Ubuntu, is there anything I need to know or anything that might make it simpler?

[16:43] so I just had another freeze, this time without any videos open, anyone have any idea what could be causing that? [16:43] because of its impeccable bugfixes. [16:43] fixes such as these: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/56125 [16:43] Launchpad bug 56125 in apt "apt-get moo doesnt look like a cow" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [16:43] thanks ubottu [16:44] shows how well the distribution is flourishing. [16:44] always when submitting the changes in adept updater, my file system of the main ext3 partition which contains everything gets (re)mounted(?) as read-only. it's just a lot of kde4 updates from the http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu repository [16:44] the first time it even seemed to have trashed my file system, at least fsck ran after restarting and had to fix a lot of things [16:44] painful: Chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic please :) (and yes, I'm subscribed to that bug) [16:45] I tried a second time which again resulted in a read-only mounted partition, although fsck has nothing to complain this time [16:45] Benjamin, congratulations. [16:45] Hello, how can i check what process is running on what port?, i wish to know what program is running port 9000 [16:45] does ubottu count the number of times it gets thanked? [16:46] I could try it another time to get the dpkg-log, but I fear the damages it might cause [16:46] newton: open terminal and type ps -e [16:46] ok [16:46] newton: alternatively: System->Administration->System Monitor [16:46] any recommendation for managing an ipod with ubuntu?

[16:50] CRASH69: Yea, I have an old school ipod mini and use gtkpod, it does what I need it do ;) [16:50] gtkpod [16:51] newton: sorry, I thought there was some way to see port on ps, but I guess not [16:51] hey everyone, I run Ubuntu full time, and I don't run antivirus programs, though I know that they are out there for ubuntu, my friend runs Windows XP, and he has an external NTFS drive which I thinks has a virus on it, I was thinking of installing an antivirus program on my Ubuntu machine, and use that to scan his drive for viruses, and see if it turns up anything, and if it does, hope that the antivirus program I've installed can fix it. I'm (thankfully) not [16:51] too experienced with viruses, so what I'm thinking of doing, should that work? And if so, what would be a good AV program for Ubuntu, I've read you can get AVG, ClamAV, and possibly avastAV installed...which would you recommend to identify and clean the virus? [16:51] oh:( [16:51] no other way to? [16:51] sorry for the long intro/question, lol [16:51] anybody using an x-fi at all? I'm trying to get pulseaudio to work with my x-fi but right now only oss works... because pulseaudio doesn't work I have no sound in flash movies or skype etc [16:51] :/ [16:51] newton: you could always try doing 'man ps' to see if I missed something [16:51] ok [16:51] remu: it's a waste of time in my opinion [16:52] ikonia? Oh/ [16:52] newton: try man lsof [16:52] ill try WanderNot [16:52] ikonia: why do you say that? [16:52] CRASH69 try here http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/07/how-to-use-gtkpod-to-manage-your-ipod-in-ubuntu/ i dont think much has changed since then [16:53] * delcoyote hi [16:53] remu: because most of the virus detection will come from a foot print in ram - and won't be detected when it's not running [16:53] How to do something like 'flush privileges' when I change group for a user without closing X session? [16:53] ikonia, interesting, I did not know that. [16:53] fyrestrtr: i'm trying but winFF spawns it's own terminal window but it doesn't like to let me copy from it [16:53] remu: you may as well just run the antivirus on windows [16:53] hi [16:53] fantomas: i don't think it is possible === stonneed is now known as Jimboe [16:53] fantomas: Yea, I thought you had to logout and backin [16:54] what's the consequence of using --system when creating a group with addgroup ? i don't really see the consequence of the way the gid is chosen [16:54] thx iplaythisgame [16:54] np [16:54] what is the preferred CGI email app these days? i used squirrel for awhile but i'm wondering if there is a better one [16:54] Let me see if I got this right then... would "/dev/sdb1 /media/disk auto,auto" be the correct syntax for automounting the 2nd hard drive then? [16:54] guardian: certain numbers are reserved [16:54] firestarter whole pc freeze when i lock firewall, how to fix? [16:54] markl__: squirell mail is php - not cgi [16:55] kohnrad1983 what filesystem is the second dive? [16:55] ikonia: i configuring git hosting on my server and i was about to create a "git" group then got confused about whether or not making it a system group [16:55] ikonia: don't be ridiculous, any time you use post you are running a cgi [16:55] OK, problem seems to have been resolved by rewriting the allowed resolutions in xorg.conf [16:55] firestarter and whole pc freeze when i lock firewall, how to fix? [16:55] kohnrad1983: That should be the first partition on the second hard drive, and you would need to make sure that you've created the directory /media/disk (sudo mkdir /media/disk) you can verify that it's the correct drive with sudo fdisk -l (this will tell you the file system type of each partition on all drives) [16:55] ikonia: lol, well thats the problem, his computer is also messed up, he was telling me that one day he tried booting it up, and it wouldn't get past the windows splash screen thing, and would just restart, everytime, he formatted and tried installing windows again, but that didn't solve the problem. I gave him a LiveCD, and he was installing ubuntu when halfway through the formatting the computer restarted, he hasnt given me the computer to look at yet, so I'm [16:55] not completley sure whats the problem with his computer. I think it might be over heating, bad ram, or bad HD [16:55] guardian: if its the "git" repo owner then a system group is fine, if it's the owner of a repo within git - then it should be a normal privilege [16:55] argh. i have this flash drive that i formatted vfat and it says "read only file system" when i try to put anything on it. i think the file system is corrupted so im trying to reformat. but when i run "sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1" it says it is mounted so i can't change it, and when i try to umount, it says "/sbin/umount.hal: disk-1 is not recognized by hal" [16:56] markl__: cgi normally references cgi-script based software [16:56] remu: well, thats nothing ubuntu can help with, so a pointless task [16:56] khin: You can't just sudo umount /dev/sdc1 ? [16:57] ASULutzy: you unmount a file system - not a device file [16:57] ikonia: I know, but he was wanting to switch over to Ubuntu even before his computer problem started [16:57] Well i have another problem with ppl, trying to ssh to my box, how to fix that? [16:57] remu: whats the point while his computer is broke [16:57] newton: whats the problem ssh'ing to your box [16:57] Well i have another problem with ppl, trying to ssh to my box, how to fix that? + i already blackhole ppl [16:57] remu: You could easily figure out which of those it is. First run a memory test, then to check hard drive you could do sudo apt-get install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda, for temperature, there's lots of sensor packages [16:57] newton: can you explain th eproblem [16:57] ASULutzy sudo was the difference [16:57] ppl that try to ssh to my server like, in once 50 ppl try [16:57] hi all [16:58] ikonia: i'm sorry i don't get it :/ my goal was to create a group, so that multiple users with ssh login can access the directory /git/gitrepo [16:58] someone familiar with rsync? I might have a little question...:) [16:58] newton: thats a common issue on the net, how would you like that to be stopped [16:58] ikonia there are likme 50 ppl trying to ssh to my box, while only 3 ppl including myself are authorized [16:58] well i blackhole them often, only thney keep getting other ip's, and theyr f*cking up my servers connections [16:58] guardian: ok, no problem, if you think of "git" as the application and then repo's under it, git - the group that owns the application should be a system user, git - any people who want to access the repo's should be non-system based [16:59] next question, I have a 8.04 fully updated, and I have to install the same setup in other pc, how do I reuse the updates in my current pc so I dont have to update from internet? just copy /var/cache/apt/archives into the new machine? [16:59] ikonia: I thought you could do it either way? (I realize that it's more technically correct to do sudo umount /media/directory, but doesn't sudo umount /dev/thePartition work too?) [16:59] newton: try moving ssh to another port [16:59] !aptoncd | CRASH69 [16:59] CRASH69: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [16:59] newton: well, you cant prevent them trying [16:59] newton: yes, thats because your box is on the internet and people are tryint to crack it [16:59] Ok [16:59] i'll try what mbrigdan says [16:59] ASULutzy, ikonia: oh, I know, I'm waiting to get it so I can try fixing it, I just don't know what could be wrong, but I think at this point his RAM probablly isn't bad, and that its either his HD going bad, or his system overheating, cause obviously he was able to boot into the LiveCD [16:59] newton: you are safe as long your accounts are [16:59] hi all! need a little help, 1 minute only [16:59] remu: that doesn't mean his ram isn't bad [16:59] newton: Perhaps look into fail2ban as well. [17:00] Yes, but i dont l;ike the idea they try [17:00] fail2ban [17:00] ok [17:00] newton: moving ssh to another port isn't really the best of solutions, obscurity does not equal security. Make sure the accounts are secure (I do not allow password logins to my ssh server, only public key logins) [17:00] newton: iptables - block everything accept from your friends IP range [17:00] newton: or do it with tcpd [17:00] asulao can u example? [17:00] newton: you can try installing some ssh ban login [17:00] newton: and fail2ban is a nice tool, I have that installed, it temporarily bans an ip after x failed logins, great to get rid of the script kiddies [17:00] thx pici [17:00] yeah, indeed [17:01] I want to use the command tar -cvf backup.tar ~ to make a backup of my homedirectory, is there a way to automaticly put the date in the name? Like backup 160708.tar [17:01] rsync problem/question: I have got a little script rsyncing three folders to my USB stick...all in all thousands of files and about 8 GB of data (at least for the initial run). Now, if I am not mistaken, a second run right after should be done fairly quick and without any transfer, right? [17:01] welll i use now ip r add blackhole, but they keep changing their ips [17:01] @all: any1 knows how to install and enable a php5 module??? [17:01] and they'r like servers [17:01] ikonia: ok [17:01] thx [17:01] well i got a home hosted server, so they really screwing up my connection [17:01] hi ya (: [17:01] Which driver should one be using for an ATI Radeon 7000, I have tried "ati", "radeon" and "aiglx", "vesa" and "fglrx" and they all have display issues. [17:01] askand `date +%m%d%y` [17:02] askand: I am not aware of such a thing in one command (I am sure it might be possible), but if you want to make a script, it should be fairly easy to do [17:02] newton: Well, like I said, the best thing to do is completely disallow password logins and secure your ssh server using public key encryption. Short of that, make sure that all your accounts have strong passwords (not stuff like password, toor, admin123, etc) [17:02] askand put that in the filename [17:02] is there a reason why when i format a flash drive with mkfs.vfat it would turn out to be a read only file system [17:02] ASULutzy can u explane the public key things to me? [17:02] i cant seem to write anything to this thing [17:02] newton: sounds like ddos attack. you cant prevent it just like that tbh... [17:02] what can I do to get ThunderBird to see the encryption keys that I have in the "password manager" thing? [17:02] newton: fail2ban is definitely worth trying, just sudo apt-get install fail2ban, it works out of the box. Just google it, or alternatively try to login to my ssh server 24.245.41.147 notice how it doesn't ask for a password? [17:03] well ASULutzy i just installed [17:03] newton: My ssh server only accepts my private key and nothing else, so there's no real chance of someone getting lucky and guessing my password [17:03] newton: try that fail2ban... [17:03] Yes i do [17:03] ASULutzy: that's actually quite a good idea [17:03] but i like the way ASULutzy says, can u help me setting up those stuff? [17:03] iplaythisgame: nice! thanks! [17:04] quick ques : which is less pain in the a$$, NTFS on linux OR ex3 on windows ? [17:04] i've seen linux isnt comfortable with ntfs on dwnlding torrents [17:04] @all: need help for installing a php5 module!! Please help me [17:04] How do I connect to the swedish Ubuntu chat?

[17:04] Xavura: read first few lines https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedDrivers/ATI [17:04] HKV: NTFS on Linux is easier than ext3 on Windows since the ext3 Windows driver doesn't work on vista and doesn't have a 64bit version. [17:05] legend2440: Thank you, I have been searching Google for something like that on ubuntu.com [17:05] I guess this works for setting up ssh with public key authentication: http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/ [17:05] @scheuri: the only problem is that i've never did it and php5 is already compiled and running [17:05] anyone else got problems with Intel/X and 2.6.26 too? [17:05] i'll try ASULutzy :) [17:05] HKV: personally I'd use ntfs with linux, but if you're able to, you could make a partition or format a drive with fat32...support for fat32 is dang near universal these days [17:05] mfonz85: you compiled php5? [17:05] fat32 is ok [17:05] what can I do to get ThunderBird to see the encryption keys that I have in the "password manager" thing? [17:05] @scheuri: not me, the old system admin did it [17:05] newton: Actually, http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication might be a touch easier to follow [17:05] maikos [17:06] Ok:) [17:06] !hostname | riegersn [17:06] riegersn: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts .

But yes, you can configure putty to use your private key [17:07] mfonz85: okay, what php5-module is missing (you pretty sure need to recompile the whole thing again to get that module depending on what it is) [17:07] Xavura: yes in xorg.cong "ati" [17:07] ok:) [17:07] conf* [17:07] legend2440: I have already tried that one as stated and I have display issues [17:07] ASULutzy: Suggest one then, see !usage for how.

Now someone who is really tech savvy and knows what they're doing with aircrack-ng could probably still hop on your network, but eh [17:24] I'm syncing my addressbook between Evolution and my Treo, and everything there works fine. Now I want to be able to sync those same contacts from my address book with Thunderbird, which is the email client that I actually use. How can I do this?

They exist in ~/Desktop [17:26] What package includes xine-check..? I have xine-ui installed but xxine-check doesnn't seem to exist.. [17:26] Can anyone tell me how to get rid of that choppy minimizing black box? [17:26] hello [17:26] temoto-work: nautilus not running? [17:27] emorris, i guess nautilus is removed.

It doesn't seem to see any of my key. [17:27] Is there a command I can issue to check which driver is in use right now for my Graphics Card? [17:27] how do i know if nvidia propietary driver is 3d accelerating? [17:27] emorris, no, it's installed, but not running of course. [17:28] I want to remove kdebase-kde4, but apt-get wants to install kde-icons-oxygen before [17:28] travis_, glxinfo | grep rendering [17:28] temoto-work: if you run it from the command line, does it work? [17:28] hmm, when sshing to my own box with -v turned on, it seems that my server takes my *public* key as authentication. This seems very insecure to me. Am I just seeing things wrong, or is it misconfigured? [17:28] kde-icons-oxygen is a package that can't be verified, when installing it trashes my ext3 filesystem [17:28] After upgrading to Firefox 3, right-clicking in Firefox has stopped working entirely. Any ideas? [17:28] (the way that fsck is needed to replay the journal to repair it) [17:28] │ AaronH [17:28] Ahadiel: glxinfo | grep rendering [17:28] hi [17:28] emorris,no. [17:28] Is it bad I get a segmentation fault when typing glxinfo?

[17:29] nutzer [17:29] ChaosMageX: I don't think it does, no [17:29] Xavura: it's when a program crashes because of its memory being corrupted [17:29] Ahadiel: are envy drivers capable of 3d acceleration? [17:29] blajumper: you could remove kdelibs [17:29] ChaosMageX: I don't think so, but if you need one, use irssi [17:29] Starnestommy: Is it weird to receive a segmentation fault by running glxinfo from the Terminal? [17:29] Is there anyone here that is skilled with printing problems? [17:29] emorris, installed nautilus. Desktop works. [17:29] LogicalDash it insists on installing kde-icons-oxygen for which it has no source [17:30] emorris, thanks. [17:30] because I removed the repository that includes it [17:30] Xavura: a GUI terminal or just a regular terminal? [17:30] blajumper: what insists? what exactly are you doing? [17:30] does memtest give any false positives? [17:30] temoto-work: no problem, i was just about to suggest reinstalling it [17:30] Ahadiel: when is the new nvidia driver going to be reposited in synaptic? [17:30] Starnestommy: A GUI Terminal [17:30] emorris, is there a way to be happy w/o nautilus? [17:30] ethana2: it can be things like temperature related, so maybe it only shows up after X ammount of time [17:30] ah [17:30] LogicalDash trying to wipe off the kde4 out of the #kubuntu-kde4 topic-mentioned repository [17:30] Xavura: that is odd [17:30] which trashes ext3 everytime on updating [17:30] Hi. I need to know how to enable Hotplug firmware support, or if already installed, how to use it. I have firmware for my ipw2200 from sourceforge that i need to install [17:31] which means possibly trashing my whole data aswell [17:31] blajumper: Be more precise.

[17:56] superfirelord42 that worked somehow.. but... [17:56] !language | blajumper [17:56] blajumper: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

I tried envy but it booted to low res mode. I did a reinstall and used the restricted driver but cant get better than 1380 res and vids look like crap. ubuntu is HH and card is nvidia 7200 gs [17:57] Goop: well I always left the default sound deamon on...... however I've never been able to pinpoint if it was indeed using PulseAudio rather than Alsa [17:57] blajumper, install pastebinit [17:57] blajumper: are you on gnome-term? [17:57] superfirelord42 I am on TTY-stuff [17:57] no X [17:57] bazhang: his apt-get is curropt [17:57] oh no =(( [17:57] some data is lost [17:57] some inode got trashed [17:57] Goop: ok, sound works on Banshee too....

[17:58] Carroarmato0: Go to System > Preferences > Sound [17:58] <|seb|> how bad is this kernel vulnerability? i'd rather avoid upgrade if i can [17:58] blajumper: how full is the parition? [17:59] Carroarmato0: What is set as the default daemon? (for either playback or music) [17:59] how do i get firefox to allow youtube videos and other similar video to go full-screen [17:59] ?

I WILL prove my manhood by installing it successfully after so many years. ;) [17:59] how can I check this on command line? [17:59] blajumper: do we know how this keeps messing up your ext2? [17:59] onthefence928: Firefox has a Download Helper function built in, to allow you to download the video into Totem media player. [17:59] Goop: I've set the deamons on PulseAudio [17:59] Can someone help me with my nvidia card? I tried envy but it booted to low res mode. I did a reinstall and used the restricted driver but cant get better than 1380 res and vids look like crap. ubuntu is HH and card is nvidia 7200 gs [17:59] Carroarmato0: Heh, I hardly know anything about Linux though, so you're ahead of me at least :) === Shadow_X_ is now known as Shadow_X|rest [18:00] superfirelord42 hum? what do you mean? do you think that a check on the full scale of the partition could trash it, too? === Shadow_X_ is now known as Shadow_X|zzz [18:00] !repeat |localgod11 [18:00] Goop: so this is a noob guide to me? :D [18:00] localgod11: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [18:00] Carroarmato0: Pretty much ;) [18:00] I don't think so; apart from dpkg, everything works fine [18:00] Goop: dang :D [18:00] Carroarmato0: I've only had Ubuntu installed for about 6/7 months [18:01] salut a tous [18:01] blajumper: i mean normally that would not cause a partition to be trashed, so i want to know if we know why it trashes yours [18:01] Carroarmato0: Mind you, I've tried to change every bit of it to prove that I can [18:01] localgod11: did you set your resolution in nvidia-settings? [18:01] superfirelord42 yes I would like to know that, too [18:01] blajumper: how old is the drive? [18:01] Goop: me it's 3 years using diferent linux systems and only recently past 3 years Ubuntu :D [18:01] m-c: and that's the only way [18:01] do you know? [18:02] superfirelord42 it has this S.M.A.R.T. thingy [18:02] Carroarmato0: But anyway, do you normally use PulseAudio? By default mine is set to use ALSA, although it might be because I have a nVidia sound card [18:02] onthefence928: That's a way where you do not even need the proprietary Flash Player software installed [18:02] blajumper: alot of drives have that, it is used to help when a drive is failing.... [18:02] superfirelord42 apart from that: I ran dpkg three times now, everytime it left my partition mounted as "ro" when working on this specific packages, and two times data was trashed/lost; I had no problem editing text files and such, running kde without running dpkg to update, nothing [18:02] Goop: Yes normally my settings are set to the name of my sound driver..... I figure it's always used the Alsa deamon [18:03] only when starting dpkg with this package it happens [18:03] I think Ubuntu is installed, but the screen has been blank for a while, and now there's no sign of harddisk activity. [18:03] superfirelord42 no SMART is for getting information on the state of the disk afaik [18:03] what should I do? [18:03] Goop: Strange thing for it to suddenly quit.... [18:03] which means to find out if it might lose data in the future [18:03] not for rescuing data afterwards [18:03] Carroarmato0: So you updated the sound drivers through oen of your normal updates? [18:03] blajumper: it does both.. it can be used to help moniter and correct issues.. not fix afterword... [18:03] Carroarmato0: *One [18:04] for example if it sees something wrong, it may retry the write... [18:04] Ok I have mostly fixed my display issues but there is one problem, I'm going to make a pastebin now [18:04] I can eject my ipod normally by right-clicking and choosing eject, but trying eject from the command line only unmounts [18:04] Goop: but then again... If I explicitly select the Alsa deamon I get an error.... [18:04] but it wont know after it has moved on... [18:04] to get it to completely eject from a terminal requires a command line. what gives? [18:04] Does anyone know how to remove a ppp conection say for instance i want to remove conection "ppp1" how would i do that ? [18:04] Ryan_wp Can you please elaborate? [18:04] Goop: I usually keep an eye out for what new updates I'm installing..... and I don't recall noticing and sound related updates [18:05] Ok guys and girls here is my error (it's about 5 lines) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/27779/ [18:05] blajumper: after you are done doing the drive repairs, try removing kde, it should work since hte package is now fully removed... [18:05] Once I can fix my error, I'll be rid of my display issues for good [18:05] someone help me to share a dir on 2 ubuntu [18:05] Carroarmato0: Hmm... I'm sure this isn't the case (for a pro like you ;) ) but have you changed ANY other settings recently, other than trivial things such as resolution? [18:05] superfirelord42 the package manager is.. what? [18:05] blajumper: i ment parition repairs [18:05] how do I uninstall VirtualBox off my lovely ubuntu :( ??? [18:05] i want all the commands of ubuntu [18:05] the partition is already "repaired" [18:06] that took only a few seconds, but the affected data is gone of course [18:06] whatever it was [18:06] m-c: About an hour ago, I started to install Ubuntu. I was out of the room for a while, and now the screen is blank, black, nothing on it. The orange activity light has stopped blinking. [18:06] blajumper: package manager? apt-get [18:06] yes, apt-get is still there [18:06] As far as I can see from the error, the radeon driver has gone walkies [18:06] why should it be gone? [18:06] I have no idea if anything is still being installed [18:06] blajumper: yeah, you can now use it to finish removing kde [18:06] mahidhar_: for help with command line questions, I recommend #bash [18:06] superfirelord42 no I can't? [18:06] kde-icons-oxygen is still there [18:07] Goop: nope, everything worked perfectly untill now..... If I select my sound driver in the list, an error message pops up saying that an other application is currently using my card.... [18:07] blajumper: i thought you said the dpkg command fixed it? [18:07] !shell [18:07] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [18:07] Ryan_wp - Does not sound good. Is the CDROM tray out? [18:07] Negative. [18:07] superfirelord42 no? it trashes everything, the filesys and such [18:07] Goop: And for some reason Flash stopped producing sound.... [18:07] and I needed to run fsck to fix my filesys [18:07] but still some data is lost! [18:07] ok lets ask Does anyone here have adsl and use ubuntu ? [18:07] thanks to dpkg which failed the third time now. [18:07] how can you make the themes in xxms format work on hardy? or many of the other themes for that matter? [18:07] Ryan_wp - Reboot and try again. No need to leave the room, it is a very fast installation [18:07] blajumper: what was the error on dpkg? [18:07] nothing is removed, nothing fixed, except the partition trashed a bit more once again [18:07] Does anyone know why I am receiving this error (5 lines) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/27779/ [18:07] a lot [18:07] okay [18:07] you asked me to paste it [18:08] and I said I can't because I dunno how [18:08] blajumper: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:08] Goop: ow and another strange thing: I can play music through Totem.... but Pidgin isn't making any sound either.... :s [18:08] Carroarmato0: It's a long shot, but take a look at the applications running in System Monitor (assuming you're on Gnome) [18:08] Hi, I have two laptops, running same ubuntu, and same nautilus [18:08] one doesn't have the toptions to show main toolsbar and other tolsbars int he view menu [18:08] Wait... the cd drive light is flickering as if it's working. [18:08] superfirelord42: the last errors I have still on the screen are all about the file system being read-only [18:08] how can you make the themes in xxms format work on hardy? or many of the other themes for that matter? the only one i can do is the tar.gz format, and i have tried to extract the other ones and tarballing them.. [18:08] and so it can't finish its job [18:08] and doesn't say 'file browser' in the title... yet I cannot find a way to make it show normal again [18:08] blajumper: strange.... [18:08] hold on.. [18:08] Goop: ow btw.... I've confirmed that my system has been using Alsa all this time..... [18:08] but the filesys has been remounted to read-only somewhere while dpkg processed its stuff [18:08] also, it opens folders in new window... how do I stop that?

I'm seriously considering moving to ubuntu or kubuntu...what do you think? any expirience with fedora 8, 9? [18:09] Goop: Could it be that it's caused by me using VirtualBox to emulate my Gentoo installation.....? :S [18:09] Carroarmato0: I need to renew my knowledge of Ubuntu a bit, I've spent too much time re-installing my Windows XP installation [18:10] Hmm... the error screen popped up :( [18:10] naftilos76, try the live cd; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [18:10] Goop: well at least it's better than Win98.....

[18:26] m-c: i'll try to ping another comp one sec [18:27] m-c: weird thing is that the activity led is not active on the ethernet card (power is tho) [18:27] galean, install boot-up-manager (bum) and set it to start at bootup [18:27] I'm assuming segmentation faults are bad, if so I have a big problem right? === ExPress is now known as Guest66635 [18:27] hmmm, does ubuntu install smart tools by default? [18:28] m-c: I get Destination Host Unreachable [18:28] Goop: damn, reinstalled it correctly.... but it still doesn't work.... :S Gonna try rebooting the system in the old WinX way.... brb [18:28] Is anyone available to assist me with a boot issue? [18:28] Let me rephrase. Are segmentation faults bad? If so HOW bad...... [18:28] ASCIIForager: please explain your problem, anyone who can help will respond... [18:28] Xavura: Segmentation fault = linux kills a process because that process attempted to use memory it's not allowed to. [18:28] tuna-fish: Why would glxinfo use memory it isn't allowed to? [18:28] Xavura, I think they pretty much close down the program that had the segmentation fault. [18:29] Ok, so why is glxinfo using memory it shouldn't [18:29] m-c: there is no activity led, and it's plugged with a rj45 ethernet cable directly to the router. I've tried to connect the modem in the ethernet card of the ubuntu and then doing dhclient and I was able to ping google.com (but I wasn't on the network obviously) [18:29] blajumper: dmesg | grep sda [18:29] Xavura: it means the programmer made a mistake [18:29] Xavura, maybe a rogue pointer. [18:29] memory leaks ftl [18:29] tuna-fish: Isn't glxinfo built into err Linux/Ubuntu? [18:29] Xavura: no. [18:30] fyrestrtr: Is the fact that glxinfo is giving me an error near the top a reason why it might be having segmentation faults [18:30] Xavura: You get a segfault when, for example, you try to access the 11th item of a 10-item array. (and the memory after it is not segmented for writing/reading) [18:30] I have a fresh install of hardy and when I boot, I get the grub loader then busybox loads initramfs then I get an eternal loop of error messages referencing an ata device and an "exception Emask". [18:30] Ok well that doesn't help so, I have errors with glxinfo, can anyone help [18:31] ASCIIForager: are you on hte effected machine on a windows, or on another computer [18:31] Carroarmato0: Welcome back :) [18:31] OK, clearly it's going to be one of those kinds of days. Nautlius is periodically forgetting how to launch items via a double-click. killallnautilus fixes it but eventually it fails again. [18:31] Starnestommy: thanks, that worked for me :) [18:31] Goop: thx, now let's try again.... ;) === ExPress is now known as Guest3975 [18:32] glxinfo is reporting errors with my gfx card driver and segfaulting, can anyone help??? [18:32] Goop: Bingo! I knew my Windows hacking tricks wouldn't fail me! :D [18:32] I have followed the tutorial on the Ubuntu website to get the graphics card working, so why is it erroring and segfaulting [18:32] Xavura: drivers probably not loading up correctly. Which brand? [18:32] tuna-fish: ATI [18:32] Carroarmato0: So it worked after a restart? [18:32] ASCIIForager: not sure if you missed my question, are you on hte effected machine? [18:32] Superfirelord42: I'm on a different machine at the moment. [18:32] Xavura: Ca't help, I have no experience with them [18:32] Xavura: Segfaulting??? glxinfo??? It give you an error like "Segmentation fault error"= [18:32] Carroarmato0: Any other magic tricks up your sleeve? [18:33] Goop: So much for linux copying/mimiking windows stuff like fixing things upon a reboot :D [18:33] Xavura: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [18:33] Xavura: Also, did you update your kernel lately? [18:33] Are there any flash decompilers for ubuntu ( swf to fla )?? [18:33] Xavura: have you rebooted your machine since? [18:33] ASCIIForager: a fresh isntall right? [18:33] debCarlos: Nope, I have errors near the top then I have at the bottom "Segmentation Fault" [18:33] tuna-fish: Not that I know of [18:33] soreau: Sure [18:33] ammend, do any good ones exist at all? [18:33] Carroarmato0: Could have just been that the changes something made might not have been applied until the sound service was restarted. [18:33] superfirelord42: yes. Installed 25 minutes ago. [18:34] ASCIIForager: ok, in grub, look at the boot syntax [18:34] Carroarmato0: So technically, restarting the X server would have done it :P [18:34] Xavura: Maybe restarting... some days ago i was having segafult errors with basename, then i rebooted and all was fine ^^ [18:34] jzsmith: for windows, i am pretty sure... yes. [18:34] ASCIIForager: put the line that begins with kernel here... [18:34] Xavura: there was an update on the apt repo not long ago, perhaps you installed it. That would make the drivers not work until the machine is rebooted once. [18:34] Goop: Well everything works again. Thanks for the moral support, you sure don't have to be techsavvy inorder to do that. :D [18:34] Carroarmato0: But either way, I'm glad you got it fixed [18:34] debCarlos: I have restarted numerous times [18:34] superfirelord42: Let me reboot first. [18:34] ok... [18:34] tuna-fish: See above, I have restarted numerous times [18:35] blajumper: are you still there? [18:35] Xavura: I'd try reinstalling the drivers [18:35] Carroarmato0: Absolutely no problem, hope to help you again (not hoping that it goes wrong again though xD) [18:35] soreau: My /var/log/Xorg.*.log files are all VERY LARGE [18:35] soreau: They all have to be a good few thousand lines [18:35] Xavura: Not good. Which driver are you using and how did you install it? [18:35] Goop: If you need anything or have a question you can always ask me ^^ (well... when I'm on irc.... but googling my nickname will surely help you find me. ) [18:35] superfirelord42: Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic [18:35] Xavura: segfault just means the software is crashing and linux kills it to save itself from it. [18:36] soreau: Over the last 24 hours~ I have been trying a LOT, right now I am trying the open source ATI one as the tutorial says it is the one I should be using [18:36] Carroarmato0: Well, time for some browsin' time, bye! [18:36] Goop: I'm the only Carroarmato0 in da freaking interwebs :P [18:36] ASCIIForager: hit e please.... [18:36] Carroarmato0: Very true [18:36] soreau: Over the last 24 hours~ I have been doing a lot of messing around with Xorg.conf so that's why the logs are so big [18:36] Xavura: Have you removed xorg-driver-fglrx pkg? [18:36] Goop: anyway good day! ^^ [18:36] superfirelord42: done. [18:36] soreau: Yes, I followed the tutorial to the word [18:36] do you see a line begining with kernel? [18:36] glxinfo | grep vendor = SGI [18:36] Xavura: Have you used envy at all? (don't btw) [18:36] I have restarted, etc. [18:37] soreau: Not that I know of [18:37] soreau: Does this help: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/27779/ [18:37] Can someone please explain to me how the --update option works for tar? Or point me to a page with good documentation? [18:37] Xavura: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA? [18:37] ASCIIForager: do you see a line begining with kernel?

[18:39] Xavura: I have seen this error before, but only recently and I don't know what's causing it. It might be that the packages are broken atm, I cannot say. (and yes, the open drivers support your card just fine when they're working) [18:39] glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" [18:39] wait [18:40] The output of the above is "No" [18:40] That is what is causing my display issues, this I know [18:40] What's the best way to cache system updates for use by multiple computers? I have 3 ubuntu boxes and would like to not waste bandwidth downloading the common updates [18:40] and the reason for the DRI = no would be this I should imagine http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/27779/ [18:40] I have a question (when someone has time) [18:40] Xavura: Alright. Join #compiz-fusion and ask there.

I am told to go thru the windows recovery program and use fixmbr, which I did. Now windows boots fine, but I can't access ubuntu at all [18:42] soreau: It seems a little dead in there, is it always like that? [18:42] r3d: thats because fixmbr removed grub, the bootloader... [18:42] thats what I thought. So How do i add it again? [18:42] Xavura: Just post the segfaulting pastebin, the complete output of glxinfo in there etc [18:42] bazhang, oh thanks. I missed that. I was thinking about using a caching proxy, but the cd would be easier I think [18:42] r3d are you on the machine at the molment?

[18:43] r3d, reboot onto the live cd then reconnect to this channel, or find another computer to be on irc on... [18:43] Xavura: It is not dead, but not a complete mess like this, and make sure to include distro, card model too [18:43] Xavura: Yes, that should work [18:43] Is it better if I am in Ubuntu or XP? [18:43] ASCIIForager: ok, hit escape a couple times.... then when you get to the first grub menu, hit c [18:43] Is there any reason why mysql 5.0.51 will not start at boot up for me?

[19:05] Storrgie: I can give you the instructions, pm me [19:05] Is there any reason why mysql 5.0.51 will not start at boot up for me? I have to manually start it everytime I restart my machine. I am running Unbuntu 8.0.4. [19:05] Smith: you could run photoshop via wine if you needed it [19:05] now i want to make a live/install cd/dvd [19:05] is this possible [19:05] ASCIIForage1 ok, change the line with kernel to be "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda3 ro" [19:06] tckb, from your system? or a live cd [19:06] galean : did u enabled it in services [19:06] how ?

[19:06] What's the latest wine stable version? [19:06] Smith: Age of Conan does not officially support Ubuntu, however, there are many commercial game titles that do, [19:06] so i guess there is no Flash editor for Linux/Ubuntu? [19:07] Hi. === rambo3 is now known as joomla_user [19:07] tckb, install it and try; or at least read the link and docs [19:07] if I start it after bot up manually it starts just fine. [19:07] hi all [19:07] ammend, not really. there are projects to do some editing of existing files [19:07] Hii. latest stable wine version?? :) [19:07] I need some help. I'm running Xubuntu 8.04, and I want rtc support. [19:07] galean: you've checked /var/log/mysql.log ? [19:07] debcarlos: 1.0 [19:07] However the module rtc_cmos is not installed. [19:07] ammend, but nothing that I know of that works just like the windows programs [19:07] ammend: Flash is proprietary software. Consider free software alternatives, especially for your development environment. [19:07] it is empty. [19:07] actually i cannt connect to net now... i have a very less bandwdth juuss chattng [19:07] debCarlos: currently at 1.1.1 [19:08] Thanks gronne, i tried compiling 1.1 and there is a sintaxis error.. [19:08] Is there a way I can find rtc_cmos without buildning a kernel of my onw? [19:08] flex is free , i think [19:08] is there any other mp3 player except totem player ? [19:08] superfirelord42: to clarify - you want me to delete the UUID and replace it with the partition info, and remove the quiet and splash items. Correct? [19:08] debCarlos: 1.1.1 is around as well, but you asked for latest stable [19:08] i wonder if Flash can work under wine... [19:08] anyone know where is located of update file [19:08] zcx, lots of them [19:08] debCarlos: there are binaries avalible from winehq's site [19:08] joomla_user: just the smallest part of the front end [19:08] superfirelord42: That's the one i tried to compile, and get some errors compiling it... [19:08] ASCIIForage1 yes, its temporary, when you reboot, if it didnt work, it will be unchan ged... [19:08] i wanna to remove all of temporary file [19:08] im building computer, quad core or dual core for ubuntu [19:09] seven, any example or link info for me ? [19:09] ammend: the new flash doesnt work under wine [19:09] m-c, the compiler, builder (dev) part is comercial [19:09] debCarlos: Why don't you add it in the repositories instead. Much easier [19:09] like zen studio [19:09] :( I just need something to edit my web template i got :o [19:09] i was looking at e8400 or q6600 [19:09] wheeeee [19:09] zcx, amarok, bmp, noatun, xmms, xine, juk, rhythmbox [19:09] i dont want to overclock [19:09] joomla_user: yes, only the IDE (text editor, basically) is open source [19:09] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m7673a792, how to see if my hdd are fine? [19:09] gronne: I like compiling things ;) [19:09] hey guys, my friend's ubuntu computer keeps restarting spontaneously, what should I do to nail down the culprit? [19:09] I'm trying to setup kerrighed and I used the directions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyUbuntuClustering but am not seeing any nodes even after I've started the cluster [19:09] ammend: unless u install it on a windows machine and then transfer the right files and the registry [19:10] Blaenk: check the system logs [19:10] debCarlos: ok,.. if you want help, #winehq may be able to help with that better... [19:10] Blaenk, you might try running memtest first [19:10] zcx, those are all installable from synaptic [19:10] *installs windows* good idea [19:10] superfirelord42: Edit complete. booting. [19:10] also what m-c said, do THAT first [19:10] seven, is it noatun merely for kde box, i use gnome [19:10] I have installed ubuntu 8.04 lts with lamp and when it logs in to desktop it sits for a while with a gray box in the corner and then it comes up with an error. There was an error starting gnome settings daemon. the happens everytime I reboot [19:10] m-c: ah true, how again? [19:10] debCarlos: umm, ok :) [19:10] should i get e8400 or q6600 for ubuntu [19:10] superfirelord42. Ok, thanks :) [19:10] regeya: will do that after syslogs [19:10] zcx, most programs will work in any desktop environmebt [19:10] Is there any other place I can look for why it fails during bootup? [19:10] Blaenk: memtest from livecd is also a good idea. logs are in /var/log of course [19:10] what are teh alternatives to gkrellm? [19:11] ammend: if u are serious then just install virtualBOx and install windows on that. that way you can be running both systems simultaneously [19:11] seven, ok il try to add noatun on my box then, thak [19:11] m-c: well isn't there a more user friendly way of doing it [19:11] galean, try /var/log/dmesg [19:11] superfirelord42: Boot successful. I'm at login screen. [19:11] ammend: i have been using it for a while and is really good [19:11] whats better, compiz-fusion or beryl? [19:11] zcx, if you're looking for something like winamp, try beep. development isn't going for xmms [19:11] Blaenk: what - you want a user interface for a log file? hmmm! [19:11] ASCIIForage1: ok, then that means we need to make these changes perminate..... [19:11] I just did a grep mysql dmesg and it came back with nothing... [19:11] Smith, they joined forces. now it's compiz-fusion [19:11] log in and open a terminal [19:11] !beryl > Smith [19:12] Smith, please see my private message [19:12] m-c: okay fine, what should I do once inside /var/log, just cat file | less ? [19:12] or tail file ? [19:12] galean, then I'd check the mysql logs [19:12] seven, any link info for beep ? [19:12] galean, also try /var/log/syslog [19:12] or /var/log/daemon [19:12] zcx, look for bmp in synaptic [19:12] look for errors | grep error [19:12] hı everyone I cant ınstall vmware server how can I do ıt please help me [19:13] ah, i see, thanks [19:13] bora, you can install it from the src tar [19:13] bora: what is the problem u are having [19:13] zcx, or search for beep media player. everything should come from repositories if you can help it [19:13] superfirelord42: Logged in, terminal open and sudo -s done.

[19:43] also does anyone know why 945GMA so borked on Hardy? [19:43] newb_: no; could be grub is unable to detect the amount of ram in your system and falsely thinks memtest86 won't fit in ram [19:44] sudo rm -rf will remove my current directory or what? if thats the case then its not harmful UNLESS youre in the wrong path.. or? [19:44] newb_: I have this problem on an ancient router; it has 64 megs of ram, but grub only sees 7 and refuses to boot the linux kernel [19:44] CRASH: Insignia Pilot.

Compiz fusion freezes on the PentiumD, works ok on the Core2Duo and works perfectly on the Pentium 4. Why is this happening? [19:50] bobertdos: what about a single character, like foo*bar? [19:50] newb_, hahaha, why is that? [19:50] bobertdos: don't know. :( [19:50] bobertdos: but no issues with the 965GMA [19:51] Here are ther messages from syslog.

[19:54] genii: i tried "ls | grep ????????.dll", and got nothing. [19:54] newb_: sorry, I was actually referring to the grub issue.

[19:58] hi there, what package contains the /etc/init.d/sendmail file? [19:58] i typed [19:59] newb_: Well generally, there are ones for video too. I'm not sure if that would be the case or an integrated chipset, but it's worth checking. [19:59] ~ Also, i put in a second HDD with ubuntu on it (just installed it) and it had the boot loader on it... the same boot loader my normal HD had... I think my new hard drive stole my old hard drives boot script thing...

[20:01] ASCIIForage1: 3 SATA drives... hmm. i wonder if one is failing... [20:01] blumm: this is PCM? [20:01] Hi all! [20:01] barni: nope, i dont think so [20:01] Blaenk-> should be same?

Any arguments for/against NVidia/ATI? [20:02] Is there a parameter for "LS" to show last modified times [20:02] barni: just click on the speaker icon next to the clock [20:02] Xavura: -l [20:02] can the alternative install cd create encrypted partitions like the server install? [20:02] ASCIIForage1: well i guess we try it again... edit the thing and copy the entire kernel line here, maybe we are missing something... [20:02] rapha, mainly Nvidia has closed drivers, ATI/AMD has open ones [20:02] ASCIIForage1: also copy the initrd line and root line...

[20:03] blumm: volume for a specific column in this program you gave me === eyeslocal is now known as Eyes`Only [20:03] bobertdos: apparently there is an intel xserver on the repos [20:03] what's the equivalent of cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature on ubuntu? [20:03] bobertdos: which is most current [20:03] superfirelord42: When I load grub and hit e to get the lines that I can edit, the first line says root (hd0,2). is that right? [20:04] if i run a "sudo" command does it run with the privledges of root, or does it run it as root? [20:04] correct, next line? [20:04] rapha, i've always had good luck with Nvidia on linux. I think it might be changing (maybe it already has) since AMD released the specifications to their cards [20:04] barni: do you mean general volume control? [20:04] after you edit it... [20:04] blumm: i have another problem [20:04] Blaenk: that line works on my computer.. it doesn't on yours? [20:04] Slart: nah [20:04] like i want to avoid using sudo to start a x session with a game, want to somehow add into my /etc/group permission to start anothe rx session, but dont find it [20:04] blumm: i changed my motherboard [20:04] thebishop: k thx. I guess I'll give ATi a chance then :-) - opening specs and code is good stuff [20:04] barni: you can also try "xset b off" to mute the beeper [20:05] rapha, definitely [20:05] Blaenk: hmm.. I've installed some sensor stuff.. lm-sensors might be a good start.. I don't know if that puts stuff in the /proc tree though [20:05] newb_: I would guess the experimental.........

(no init.d/hdparm exists, since its not a daemon) [20:05] blumm: yep, thanks, no more beeps [20:05] Slart: alright [20:05] barni: great [20:06] arooni: Check out this forum post: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tip-how-to-openview-docx-files-in-openoffice.html [20:06] Does this mean anything to anyone http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/27806/ [20:06] styrman-> look to see if gdmflexiserver will do [20:06] blumm: i changed my motherboard [20:06] bobertdos: hmmm i think that's the one i need to get rid of [20:06] apparently it has a git bug [20:06] barni: so? [20:06] any good mmo games? [20:06] blumm: and it now has an intel HD audio integrated in it [20:06] hi in ubuntu i get random crashes.. the screen turns black with the boot lines and a blinking cursor. when i press ctrl+alt+f7 i still get the sound, but the screen is black. [20:06] xp runs th sound very well [20:07] how can i use a sd card to store my private gnupg key? [20:07] newb_: In order to try the one in the repos? [20:07] Blaenk: here's some old info (they mention dapper which is.. well. old =) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385446 [20:07] blumm: but there is no sound in ubuntu at all [20:07] thebishop: Oh, I forgot I'm looking for something that can handle 2048x1536 in 2D well enough so that there's no stuttering... [20:07] thanks Slart I appreciate it [20:07] pressing ctrl+alt+f2 gets me into a terminal, then typing startx gives me sound again, but black screen [20:07] bobertdos: i'll do that in the morning... when i get back to work. [20:07] bobertdos: the machines are at work [20:07] barni: you need to check the exact model type of your soundcard first [20:07] bobertdos: i'm right now using my laptop [20:07] newb_: I see :D [20:07] lordnoid, is it happening after a particular update?? [20:08] bobertdos: trying to make my team use Ubuntu. [20:08] blumm: it's MSI [20:08] rapha, like i said, Nvidia's binary drivers have always been pretty solid. I've heard AMD is getting better lately, but I can't confirm that myself [20:08] amenado: i want to try to keep it lightweight and not start another gnome session [20:08] ASCIIForage1: ? [20:08] arvind_khadri: i think so ive never had it before.. using ubuntu for quite a few years now ;) [20:08] blumm: shouldn't it be PNP [20:08] arvind_khadri: and today it happened 4 times in a row [20:08] barni: you said its an INTEL card [20:08] is the person who helped me earlier still on? (I was r3d at the time) [20:09] arvind_khadri: and today it updated the linux-image (or linux-header) packages [20:09] lordnoid, oh ok did you go through the system logs...any particular way to reproduce it?? [20:09] superfirelord42: I lost you somewhere. [20:09] blumm: it's msi but the audio card in it is of HD audio tech [20:09] r3d1: Don't you know the name of he/she ? [20:09] blumm: that what probably makes the problem [20:09] barni: run lspci and check out which card you have [20:10] Nah, i didn't catch it :/ Aw well, i'll just ask again [20:10] begam [20:10] someone can explain me s.m.a.r.t.? the differnce betwwen value worst and tresh?

VIA High Definition Audio Controller (rev 10) [20:10] rapha: there's been some issues with nvidia with the newer cards and 2d graphics [20:10] debCarlos: i am a he thank you... r3d1you had been talking to me earlier [20:10] superfirelord42: wilco. [20:10] Slart: okay, so ATi will be fine [20:10] lordnoid, ok what i suggest is report a bug against X ... [20:11] I thought so firelord, but I wasn't sure :( my memory isn't great [20:11] Does anybody know a specific ATi model that's good at high resolutions in 2D? 3D performance is secondary.... [20:11] rapha: check the nvidia linux forums... last time I checked there were people swearing never to touch another nvidia card ever.. I haven't had any problems myself though [20:11] r3d1: no problem... i dont remember hte problem... hehe [20:11] wat tool can i use to mount a iso to a virtual drive, not mount it to a dir. I need it to mount a OSX img, so basic mounting will not work. [20:11] Draken: afaik mounting to a folder is all you get [20:12] Draken, you mean something like Daemon tool? [20:12] Draken: if it makes you feel any better normal cd's are mounted to folders too [20:12] rapha: Why not pick up an older legacy model, like a Radeon 9800 Pro or something? That would probably do the trick. [20:12] Draken-> what does it mean by virtual drive? [20:13] bobertdos: That's what I'm looking for. But I'm unsure as to what model exactly to use. When you search eBay for "ATi AGP" there's tons of cards in the 30-50$ range that would be possible choices [20:13] Okay, heres the problem: I have XP and Ubuntu on two seperate drives. I installed ubuntu no problem. When i booted ubuntu I got stopped with a grub 22 error. Found out I had to make a new master boot record. I did. Apparently you said it overwrote the grub installer. [20:13] blumm: you are with me? === oracle is now known as mat-u [20:13] lordnoid, and check for compiz too...its the culprit sometimes [20:13] rapha: Of course, you may want to double check Ubuntu's compatibility list: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti?highlight=(video) [20:13] barni: well, you dont have any sound - are the speaker enabled in alsamixer? [20:14] arvind_khadri; yeah i disabled it for this session to see whether it crashes or not [20:14] amenado, a drive thats supposed to be present for the OS but not actually there as in a physical way [20:14] hey, can I have some help? I'm installing ubuntu on my dad's pc, problem is he uses a usb dsl modem for internet. Where do I find the drivers and how do I install them? [20:14] lordnoid, cool :) [20:14] blumm: what's alsamixer [20:14] bobertdos: Ubuntu compatibility isn't even my main concern. I'm more concerned about the card's ability to run 2048x1536 in 2D fluently...

I installed ubuntu no problem. When i booted ubuntu I got stopped with a grub 22 error. Found out I had to make a new master boot record. I did. Apparently you said it overwrote the grub installer. [20:18] j800r: ok..getting closer.. now disconnect the modem, run lsusb in a terminal, connect modem, run lsusb again.. compare the two outputs.. the extra line (if there is one) is the modem.. google for those numbers [20:18] Somebody please help me, I'm trying to update the firmware on my wireless card, an ipw2100, and i've downloaded the firmware tarball, it has 3 *.fw files in it, no instructions and I have no clue what to do. make doesn't work, i can't sh it, and i'm out of ideas [20:18] barni: do you use any soundspeakers? [20:18] hi could anyone explain this : http://www.pastebin.be/12838 (dns related issue) [20:18] r3d1: it can...i would rather have someoen help who can follow it through instead of leave you half finished. [20:18] Xavura: your doing stuff with your graphics card? [20:19] I'm trying to fix it, SebNaitsabes [20:19] Xauvra: GL is to do with the graphics card [20:19] DRI won't work because of that error [20:19] slart: problem is, i'm using windows at the moment, cause i have no internet connection on ubuntu yet [20:19] can someone help r3d1 install grub? [20:19] I know. [20:19] Xavura: what's the problem? [20:19] Draken, i suppose the package daemon tools is in 7.04 repo [20:19] That is part of the output of glxinfo SebNaitsabes [20:19] Draken, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2012333 [20:19] Direct Rendering isn't working so my computer is as slow as.... slow, SebNaitsabes [20:19] snmpee_: I think you have to put the .fw files in /lib/firmware, not sure tho [20:19] it worked, but the sound volume is too low [20:19] Draken, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/misc/daemontools-installer [20:19] Xavura: have you used envyng [20:20] SebNaitsabes: I don't know [20:20] j800r: hmm.. then you can try just googling for the manufacturer+model for now.. you might get lucky [20:20] Draken, read them ...they didnt open here... dam this ISP !!! [20:20] Xavura: you probably don't have the correct driver installed for GL stuff and so [20:20] blumm: how can i make it louder [20:20] k ta [20:20] hmm, ok. [20:20] * j800r tries that [20:20] SebNaitsabes: Yes I do, I followed the tutorial to the word. [20:20] superfirelord42: I'm logged into ubunto, opened terminal, cd /boot/grub. [20:20] Xavura: which tutorial? [20:20] SebNaitsabes: It says the driver supports my card with FULL 3D ACCELERATION [20:20] superfirelord42: is it like this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [20:20] does someone know a nice voice recorder that can record wav's in pcm format ? [20:20] SebNaitsabes: The one on the Ubuntu website [20:20] SebNaitsabes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [20:21] Xavura: oh your card is not Nividia or ATI? [20:21] barni: enable Master and mute Front by switching to Front and typing "m" (all inside alsamixer) [20:21] ASCIIForage1: yup [20:21] Draken, you listening?? [20:21] SebNaitsabes: It is ATI........ [20:21] MatBoy: Audacity could do that :) [20:21] superfirelord42: I issued the command gksudo gedit menu.lst and it's now open on my desktop. [20:21] first time here wanted to know how to get audacity sound working [20:21] r3d1: im looking at it [20:21] ASCIIForage1: good, now put in exactly how we did it [20:21] superfirelord42: can I follow that, will it do what I need? [20:21] how do I install Java support for firefox? [20:21] remove splash [20:21] blumm: how i switch to front [20:21] bobertdos: never heard of it, let me look into it [20:21] Hello! How can my /etc/hdparm.conf be loaded at boot? (no init.d/hdparm exists, since its not a daemon) [20:21] barni: with arrow keys [20:22] MatBoy: It's in Ubuntu's repos. You can find it in Synaptic. [20:22] bobertdos: looks nice [20:22] r3d1: looks good, follow the quick start [20:22] bobertdos: and get rid of dos :P [20:22] Xavura: ok well try envyng anyway, at least then you will know you have the correct driver installed for sure. I think there are like two drivers. sort of thing now. in fact. w ell I thought I had the propritary Nivida driver installed and it seemed I did yes, but then for GL stuff I had to install soemthing else as wel [20:22] SebNaitsabes: I am NOT trying the proprietary driver again, that is the route of all my problems [20:22] Xavura: envyng does ATI and Nivida [20:22] hi, i've shared my "File System" folder, so the others computer can reach the machine (all of them are running ubuntu 7.10) but when i try to copy something to the xchat folder (home/user/.xchat2) it gives me an error - You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of ".xchat2". So how do I turn off these things, it drives me crazy [20:23] SebNaitsabes: Is envyng some other driver? [20:23] superfirelord42: alright thanks, i'll take a quick look, any questions will go here :D [20:23] MatBoy: Actually, I meant dos as in the Spanish number two.. :D [20:23] Xavura: no it's a program that helps you get the correct drivers installed [20:23] SebNaitsabes: Is it in the repositories? [20:23] yes [20:23] SebNaitsabes: What is the package called [20:23] !info envyng-cre [20:23] Package envyng-cre does not exist in hardy [20:23] !info envyng-core [20:23] envyng-core (source: envyng-core): install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.1ubuntu17 (hardy), package size 132 kB, installed size 948 kB [20:23] bobertdos: still than :P [20:23] hi, i have this *little* problem with ubuntu hardy 8.04.1 - when I try to launch Login Screen manager (GDM) and few other system functions/applications I get the application window open and close half second later. I tried to launch them then from the terminal and I get "Segmentetion error (fallo de segmentacion) - do you know what can be happen? i'll get mad if i have to install and configure whole system one more time... =P [20:24] !info envyng-gtk [20:24] envyng-gtk (source: envyng-gtk): install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 93 kB, installed size 324 kB [20:24] Do I need both of those? [20:24] Xavura: install envyng-gtk and that will put on the core as well. the actsual program [20:24] superfirelord42: Removed quiet (Last line), Root tag on kernel line is /dev/sda3 [20:24] Xavura: well you need a GUI for it really I guess. so GTK or QT [20:24] SebNaitsabes: Installed [20:25] and open it up yeah and if you put GTK one or whaatever you got a graphica program then [20:25] ASCIIForage1: did you remove splash and quiet from kernel [20:25] martosurf segmentation error is pretty bad.. I would guess you have to reinstall [20:25] SebNaitsabes: Is this program going to touch xorg.conf [20:25] Xavura: don't worry :) that it does is what is meant to be done [20:25] martosurf: check the hard drive for errors and check the install cd for errors before you reinstall [20:25] jeeves__: There should be a package in Synaptic called sun-java6-plugin, (along with all the other Sun Java 6 packages). [20:26] Xavura: what it does [20:26] Xavura: it should let you install the correct ATI driver :) [20:26] SebNaitsabes: But does it touch xorg.conf....... I need to know if I need to back it up [20:26] Xavura: yes I guess it may touch xorg.conf [20:26] hey i need some help i cant turn visural effects on i installed the drivers for my vid card and its in use but it wont let me enable visural effects [20:26] bobertdos, I have those installed, and I'm still having issues with the file manager in Webmin [20:26] superfirelord42: yes.

[20:27] awesome.. [20:27] martosurf: nah.. I doubt it.. but who knows.. perhaps [20:27] hi, how is made Ubuntu to recognize ATAPI cd devices and ATA hard drivers like SCSI devices ? [20:27] Xavura: X can be an issue yes, but it is fixable also when things go wrong with it [20:27] jeeves__: like what? [20:27] hey i need some help i cant turn visural effects on i installed the drivers for my vid card and its in use but it wont let me enable visural effects [20:27] bobertdos, it says that my java support isn't installed [20:28] Xavura: to be honest you probably don't really need to worry about backing up X [20:28] config [20:28] martosurf: if jfs was unstable like that it would be removed from the repos.. unless you installed some developer version from their site [20:28] SebNaitsabes : There was a icon which was asking me to upgrade and i was not finding time . Once i tried to install yahoo messenger .Then there was some error and i got that message [20:28] Hi : what is the role of ` and '` from # cat `du -s * | sort -rn | head -1 | awk '{ printf "%s/*\n", $2}'` | compress comands? [20:28] hey i need some help i cant turn visural effects on i installed the drivers for my vid card and its in use but it wont let me enable visural effects [20:28] venkat: open the synaptic package manager and with that you should be able to fix borken packages [20:28] PeterP24: [20:28] some one pleaze help me get my video card to work [20:29] dawn: what like 3D stuff? [20:29] PeterP24: `` runs the command between the `s and replaces it with the output [20:29] superfirelord42: booyeah! I didn't have to touch a thing! One totally unattended, successful boot into ubuntu! [20:29] jeeves__: If you check about:config in Firefox, does it list Java there? [20:29] Slart: no, the built in with ubuntu... I'm wondering why I have this error... isn't any way to fix that without reinstalling? why do I get that error, do you know any good website where learn more about it? tnx!!! [20:29] Slart : thank you very much [20:29] bobertdos, yes, java is enabled in the options [20:29] SebNaitsabes : I opened the package manager . What next ? [20:29] martosurf: well.. you could start reinstalling the packages that fails.. but it will be a lot of reinstalling.. [20:30] hello [20:30] ASCIIForage1: if it starts doing it again, then we know its a hard disk issue, but as of now.. congrats, it works... [20:30] is there any way to force s-video output? [20:30] Slart: ok man, tnx a lot for your aid =D [20:30] jeeves__: Yes, but if you type: about:plugins into firefox, is Java in that list?? [20:30] no program in ubuntu seems to detect TV if you convert s-video signal to composite [20:30] superfirelord42: Thank you. I appreciate your time and patience. You rock! [20:30] PeterP24: you're welcome.. check the man page for bash.. that's where all this info is [20:30] SebNaitsabes: ok what is happaning i just installed ubutu 8.04 and i installed the driver for my video card and it is enabled and in use and when i try to enable system>apperance>visual effects it will say desktop effects could not be displayed [20:31] martosurf: you're welcome.. hope you get your system up and running [20:31] no problem ASCIIForage1... have a great day... i am heading out..

I'm worried it might be RAM going south. This machine's worked fine with no changes to it for over a year. [20:31] blumm: sorry [20:31] superfirelord42: have a great one!

I get this output with an intel and amd cpu temp: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27812/ I don't have an intel, only amd, why are there two? [20:32] Slart: oh thank you for the tip, is kind of silly to search google for that character [20:32] debCarlos: do you have any ideas i should do [20:32] jeeves__: You need to let the Sun packages take over.

[20:32] bobertdos, ok, thanks [20:33] blumm?? [20:33] jeeves__: Actually, the lazy way to do it would be to just uninstall IcedTea. [20:33] barni_: yes [20:33] it's not louder [20:33] bobertdos, ??? [20:33] barni_: did you try muting front and enable master? [20:33] jeeves__: through synaptic [20:33] there is a button for enabling?

[20:43] i installed wine-doors but it does not run at all .. nothing happen after call this program [20:43] ATI Radeon Xpress [20:43] I minimized a wine app and now I can't find it in the taskbar or with tab switch, how to I get it to show up again? [20:43] blumm: every time, when i work on my ubuntu, the pc stops [20:43] the linux version of Catalyst Control Center does not have the option to "force TV detection" like Windows version [20:44] blumm: with no responce at all [20:44] that always worked on that side of the fence [20:44] NighTi^: what happens when you connect svideo cable to tv ? [20:44] blumm: i have the same on screen [20:44] barni_: thats way too vague. when youre working on what? [20:44] if i connect s-video, it does detect the tv [20:44] but i get only black&white picture since the tv is a bit old [20:45] and if i, at that point, put the s-video->composite converter in between [20:45] blumm: after some minutes, and it always happens [20:45] it still shows the picture [20:45] but it kinda suck to always crawl behind the TV to do this [20:45] NighTi^: Ati drivers in Linux aren't as good as their drivers for Windows & Mac.

[20:47] blumm: but its always on, so i can't say anything for sure [20:47] NighTi^: the only thing i had to do was add line about TVFormat i used ntsc-m but if outside us you may have to use PAL http://paste.ubuntu.com/27814/ [20:47] dawn: You need to install the nvidia-legacy drivers....

To my delight there were no bra straps!! My mom was completely naked under her robe!! I slid it down a little more than gently started rubbing her shoulders and back. [21:06] After a few minutes I slipped her robe down to her waist and started stroking the small of her slender back. I could see the sides of her big round breasts squished against the bed. I wanted to grab them so badly. I put my arms around her and started stroking her sleek stomach. I slid my hand further and further up her stomach until the side of my hands was touching her breasts. [21:06] "DAMN" I thought to myself as she was wearing big granny panties. I tried sliding them down but they were stuck to her butt. I gave it another effort and jolted the down. To my relief my Mom was still peacefully sleeping. Cautiously I gently poked one of her sexy ass cheeks with my finger to see if my Mom would notice. I did this a few times before I worked up the courage to start squeezing her big sexy ass globes. I was so hard. My [21:06] slart, so would that be sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm ? [21:06] Lusule1: do you see the wifi card show up there? [21:06] cock started thinking for me as it persuaded me to squeeze harder and harder. This made my Mom groan. I gasped as I noticed her hands start to move. [21:06] These words coming from my Mom's mouth was so shocking to me. I never heard her swear or talk about sex before. It made me so horny. When I was sure she was asleep I slid my arms under her shirt and went straight to her big boobs only to find out that this time she was indeed wearing a bra. I was bolder now; hearing her say those words sent me into frenzy. I slid my hands to my mom\u2019s back and searched for the bra hook.

I was in ecstasy. My Mom woke again. This time I had no chance to get my hands out of there, but I closed my eyes and pretended to quietly snore. [21:06] !ops [21:06] I spent the rest of the day watching tv, eating and doing some chores but all I could think of was having sex with my Mom. I didn't want to masturbate because I wanted to save it in case my Mom was down for sex. The day went agonizingly slow as I was counting down the hours before my Mom came home.

[21:50] dexter: he is gone or whatever now anyway it seems [21:50] sysop1972: Again, apologies on lag. My workday is winding down and last minute they always want something :) [21:50] anyone here know how to fix this message? http://rafb.net/p/8r484585.html [21:50] slart: are there hardware compatability differences between 32bit and 64bit? [21:50] justs0me, I got some obvious by default conf errors, had to edit them manually [21:50] Slart: Yeah. Will just sudo shred /home/name be sufficient? [21:50] gnea - i'm back [21:51] OldPink: hmm.. your home folder should take care of most stuff.. might want to clear the logs too.. there might be other things too [21:51] smith: You can use the server kernel, it's PAE enabled. Unless you need 3D driver support etc out of the box. Or build your own kernel I guess [21:51] how long will the packages be there or they are always there and constantly updated, cuz i use fedora and once there is no more support, theres nothing [21:51] nobody speack italian??? [21:51] anyone know if 10a = 1000mA? [21:51] smith: not really.. you can run 32-bit software on 64 bit ubuntu.. [21:51] kevinO: nope [21:51] debCarlos: inserting the usb adds these lines: sdd and sg4 plus some other small stuff [21:51] Slart: What kind of other things? Is the firefox cache in /home? What about opera? And which logs? [21:51] kevinO: 1000 mA = 1 A [21:51] user123_ whats the name of your usb wlan stick? [21:51] slart: than why doesnt everybody use 64-bit? [21:51] justs0me, you can always "dist-upgrade", fdeora is different from debian-based [21:51] in what log does a failed filecopy show (computer freezes when trying to copy a certain folder) [21:51] belkin [21:51] anyone here know how to fix this message? http://rafb.net/p/8r484585.html [21:52] [AKA] http://ln-s.net/23Eb [21:52] sysop1972: After creating the samba users you will need to make in the smb.conf file the declarations of each directory you made previously in the /home/smbuser directory. I may not be around to assist until about 45 minutes from now on this. But man smb.conf has quite extensive examples. [21:52] SebNaitsabes: Ok dann mach ich weiter ;) [21:52] smith: because you need a 64 bit CPU [21:52] dexter belkin [21:52] dexter: I did not understand [21:52] dli__: what does dist-update do ? sorry never used debian system [21:52] smith: because if you run 32 bit firefox you need 32 bit libraries for firefox.. so you end up having two systems installed [21:52] slart: mbrigdan: as long as its not like xp 64-bit :) [21:52] slart, in prefs set to hda nvidia alsa mixer is set, would that be the correct one? [21:52] mbrigdan: try then pluggin it and $ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd , it maybe works, anyway, i'm going to look for information about what names Ubuntu give to devices.... [21:52] slart: two different systems? [21:52] Slart: What kind of other things? Is the firefox cache in /home? What about opera? And which logs? [21:52] smith: some things aren't available for 64 bit.. flash is one thing.. [21:52] sysop1972: After editing the smb.conf file always run: testparm to check the validity of the configuration file. It will warn you of any syntax errors [21:53] mbrigdan: sorry, it's $ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /media/disk [21:53] anyone here know how to fix this message? http://rafb.net/p/8r484585.html [21:53] justs0me, say, you got hardy ubuntu now, whatever the next release out, you edit /etc/apt/sources.list, change hardy to the next thing [21:53] [AKA] http://ln-s.net/23Eb [21:53] smith: well..you have the 64 bit libraries and the 32 bit libraries.. two versions of everytyhing.. [21:53] justs0me, then, apt-get update;apt-get -f dist-upgrade [21:53] OldPink: check the /var/log folder. [21:53] mbrigdan: if it gives you same error try creating a pendrive directory in media $ sudo mkdir /media/pendrive and mounting sdd in there ;) [21:53] debCarlos: no output, i'll see if I can write it [21:53] I'm having trouble getting a subdomain to work using apache VirtualHost. This is in a file test.conf in ../sites-available: DocumentRoot /var/www/test ServerName test.mydomain.com | and I have used: a2ensite test.conf and reloaded config. Ideas? [21:53] OldPink: I have no idea where opera stores its info [21:53] slart: oh :( is 4gb of ram enough for two users? [21:53] dexter : it is belkin [21:54] slart. my picopsu minumum requirements for +12v is 2A - 10A, the old linksys dc converter says 1000mA. that isnt enough is it? [21:54] mbrigdan: :D [21:54] slart: in a multiseat set up? [21:54] smith: yes.. for normal use.. yes [21:54] how can I install the unstable kernel 2.6.25? [21:54] Slart: Thanks, going to give this a whirl [21:54] genii : just so I don't miss a step. Lets say I don't have any windows users with accounts on the linux box yet and the users windows name/password is bob/login what do I need to type in to the terminal. [21:54] kevinO: I would think not [21:54] hahahahahaha [21:54] debCarlos: it worked :), now to see if it works properly every time I insert the drive. === CoolFox is now known as VulpineWill [21:54] cool mann [21:54] Nickste, make sure the site's conf file exists in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled .. then restart apache [21:54] how can i change my resolution to a mode that exsists in xorg but not the change resolution app [21:54] slart: thanks for the help, I'm glad you know your stuff [21:54] das iat linux [21:54] smith: I don't.. I'm just good at pretending =) [21:55] und linus ist das [21:55] user123_ you have to use ndiswrapper to get the realtek chip working [21:55] debCarlos: how do I unmount a drive? [21:55] dli__: so it would upgrade from hardy to whatever? [21:55] Nickste, hopefully the site becomes available then -- if not, check the apache log file for any errors in configuration [21:55] linuxaof: und du ist doof [21:55] justs0me, yes [21:55] anyone here know how to fix this message? http://rafb.net/p/8r484585.html [21:55] [AKA] http://ln-s.net/23Eb [21:55] dexster ok where [21:55] ihr mit eurem deutsch ^^ [21:55] jajajajajaja [21:55] mbrigdan: $ sudo umount /media/disk [21:55] jajajaja [21:55] dli__: in fedora that is highly not recommended causes alot of errors [21:55] !de | dexter [21:55] dexter: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [21:55] pen: it [21:55] ubottu: ?

[21:56] pen: it's not really a problem.. check the sources.list [21:56] i know ^^ [21:56] sysop1972: sudo smbpasswd -a bob at this point it asks for their password so put "login" twice there. Then: sudo smbpasswd -e bob This enables the name now [21:56] pen: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and take out the duplicate entries [21:56] dexster where can i get it [21:56] cpk1, there is no duplicate entry that's what I'm confused [21:56] pen: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and check for cuplicate lines [21:56] dli__: alright, so that method never causes errors? doing distro update that way / [21:56] dexter where can i get it [21:56] pen: well.. apt doesn't agree with you.. check the other .list files in that folder too [21:56] Slart, same respond to cpk1, there is no duplicate entry [21:57] user123_ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common [21:57] pen: pastebin your sources.list [21:57] and maybe ndisgtk for a graphical frontend [21:57] how can I install the unstable kernel 2.6.25? [21:57] not a good idea [21:57] well, SONY SZ71E/B T7250 2GB 160GB DL 13.3" VHP is not listed in the urls which list tested laptops. how can i proceed in order to see if i can buy it ? thnks [21:57] justs0me, for debian, the developers would release a howto, to guide you through the upgrade [21:57] eix: best to stay with the latest kernels [21:57] mbrigdan: Now you have it, try adding this to your fstab : http://paste.ubuntu.com/27840/ [21:57] SebNaitsabes: why? [21:57] [AKA] http://ln-s.net/23Ef [21:57] cpk1, Slart [21:57] eix: best to stay with the stable kernels [21:57] justs0me, I guess ubuntu has the similar thing [21:57] I seem to be stuck with kernel 2.6.24-17. Whenever I try to upgrade to a newer version, my sound stops working (Using an SB Audigy). Works fine on a 2.6.24-17, though. Does anyone have the same issue? Does anyone know how to resolve that? One thing I did check is there is no "/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/" folder - Or the "sound" subdirectory of that, either. Is that a problem? [21:57] true that [21:57] cpk1, Slart http://rafb.net/p/ARvWgS82.html [21:57] [AKA] http://ln-s.net/23Eg [21:57] !unstable [21:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about unstable [21:58] SebNaitsabes: yes but seems that my "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s!" has been fixed with the 2.6.25 [21:58] sysop1972: I need to logoff now in order to get to my other workplace on time. I'll return online in about 45 minutes (possibly less) [21:58] eix: why do you want the unstable? [21:58] debCarlos: I think my admin permissions might have been slightly changed somehow, because I can no longer use the unlock button in the "users and groups" panel, could this have caused this? [21:58] dli__: oh ok [21:58] SebNaitsabes: I need to fix this bug otherwise the server will keep hanging up :! [21:58] !wifi [21:58] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:58] [AKA] http://ln-s.net/23Eh [21:58] good evening all, anybody ever had a sound blaster audio card working on this latest 8.04 lts? [21:58] anyone here using hardy and hp dv9000 series? [21:58] can any1 help me? the 3d acceleration doesnt work. xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f2f282722, Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/fe89598e [21:58] dli__: thanks for info [21:59] loz, I'm having issues, 2.6.24-17 works, no later kernels will [21:59] pen: first it looks like line 43 and 67 have duplicates and also why are you using hardy proposed? [21:59] Lusul1: sorry, got working on something else - any luck? [21:59] I can no longer use the unlock button in the "users and groups" panel, what could have caused this? [21:59] Jimmey: i have installed latest 8.04, does this mean that my new card won't work yet? [22:00] Hey folks [22:00] gnea - no idea, now i'm on wired i don't know how to tell if the wireless is working [22:00] how different is redhat from xubuntu? === VulpineWill is now known as CoolFox [22:00] loz, do a "uname -r" in the terminal, see what kernel you have [22:00] Shaba1: very differnet [22:00] Lusul1: try ip a again and see if there's any additions to the list [22:00] cpk1, I think I might need some newer updates? [22:00] pen: I don't see any duplicates either.. but remove the security repos.. save the file.. then enable the security repos from software sources again [22:00] I know that is a general question [22:00] oh hell [22:00] damn I was afraid of that [22:00] !language | Shaba1 [22:00] Shaba1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:00] pen: hardy proposed is NOT the kind of newer updates you want [22:00] dexter: what distro are you using [22:00] Shadab1: let's see Redhat uses Gnome or KDE and Xubuntu is XFCE. Redhat uses RPM and Ubuntu and Debian distros use DEB [22:00] pen: ah.. nevermind.. I agree with the line 43 and 67 duplicate [22:00] cpk1, then what kind of update is that? [22:00] Jimmey: i have 2.6.24.19 [22:00] unop: Nothing in the logs. Could it be caused by an incorrectly configured hostname? [22:00] hey does this chipset supported Realtek 8187L [22:00] pen: those are packages that may or may not be ready for everyone [22:01] pen: proposed is not a good choice [22:01] gnea - http://pastebin.com/d23167191 [22:01] Jack_Smirnoff: Ubuntu 8.04 [22:01] pen: kind of like "beta packages" [22:01] cpk1, Jack_Smirnoff you mean those packages are experimental kind of? [22:01] SebNaitsabes that is what we windows people would call the front end. [22:01] Shaba1: mainly, redhat uses RPM, which is a, historically, broken package manager. Ubuntu uses DEB, which is a proven solid system. [22:01] cpk1, I see [22:01] I meant under the hood. [22:01] Jimmey: i guess that is bad news for me and my card... [22:01] loz, using System>Preferences>Sound Make sure one of the CA0105 is selected for the playback options [22:01] this chipset supported on ubuntu Realtek 8187L [22:01] Shaba1: Red hat is for enterprises. and they sell suport that's how they make their money. [22:02] I can no longer use the unlock button in the "users and groups" panel, what could have caused this? [22:02] Shaba1: Xubuntu is just Ubuntu, but with XFCE instead of Gnome [22:02] loz, I'm using SB Audigy at the moment to play back sound - I just can't get it to work with the kernel you're using [22:02] Nickste, possibly [22:02] cpk1, btw, why can't I check important security updates in software sources? [22:02] Gnea: how do u figure RPM is a broken package manager? [22:02] loz, tell me if you can get the "test" button to play back the beep with any of those options [22:02] Nickste, the guys in #apache would be able to help better [22:02] I know SebNaitsabes [22:02] cpk1, only recommended, propose and backport are available to check [22:02] Let me explain why I asked [22:02] Shaba1: Fedora Core is based on Redhat :) and that's for well anyone basicalely [22:02] Jimmey: it says that i am using nvidia card, [22:02] justs0me: i tried it back with redhat 4.1 - nothing's really changed [22:02] unop: the guys in apache haven't responded to my question :( [22:03] pen: actually it looks like you can just get rid of line 67, or if you want it to be neater find all the copies of line 67 and get rid of those [22:03] I am a window systems admin. I am unemployed now and working at a sucky minumum wage job. [22:03] Jimmey: because i have added the card after my install [22:03] when my ubuntu is set to roaming mode, can i still specify "pre-up und post down scripts"? [22:03] gnea - is it me or is that output showing more than last time? [22:03] Gnea: what is broekn in it? [22:03] cpk1, good idea [22:03] pen: I know nothing about synaptic, I use kde and on top of that I only use command line aptitude [22:03] I am trying to upgrade my IT skills to make myself more marketable. [22:03] Lusul1: no, it's the same [22:03] gnea darn :( [22:03] justs0me: that conversation, would be offtopic. [22:03] loz, for "sound events" and "music and movies", you need to change the "Sound playback: " option to something that should be like "CA0106" [22:03] Shaba1: well tehn you should learn how to use a few Linux distros well [22:03] So I volunteer with a Non profit. They want me to straighten out apache on thier in house web server. [22:04] Shaba1: well being more exact you should learn how to use the Linux command line well [22:04] wheee, hee hee hee. [22:04] gnea - maybe i should give up and reinstall - if i have my home pointing at a different drive, and i don't format that, i can point it there again without losing anything there, can't i? [22:04] But they have it installed on Redhat. [22:04] have yall seen this http://youtube.com/watch?v=e-LOtKIIKcg [22:04] cpk1, I see [22:04] pen: and also unless you have a very specific reason for using it I would get rid of proposed [22:04] I have xubuntu install on my laptop. [22:04] I'm recovering from a disk crash, and have restored a Hardy image to an IDE hda1 but I cannot get grub to recognize the driva (aliased as sda1, usually). I get a grub boot prompt, but keying in the lines from menu.lst fail, and booting from the Hardy CD and chrooting to the mounted drive also fails to see the device- any suggestions? [22:04] Just wondering how different unbuntu is from redhat. [22:04] Shaba1: if the mods were here they would be saying your going off topic. let's go private mesage [22:05] In terms of server, shebal, ubuntu isn;t that great, from what I have heard, CentOS is the best Linux for a LAMP server. [22:05] Shaba1: Ubuntu uses a different package manger, for starters. [22:05] cpk1, I disabled it. I thought it would be useful to get new apps [22:05] Jimmey: do you think if i did a fresh install with the new hard ware plugged in, it might work? [22:05] Shaba1: try centos (which is bassically redhat) and ubuntu's live cd's [22:05] does anyone know if u have lost ur username and passeord for ur DSL line how do u retrieve it [22:05] ? [22:05] loz, it should work now, did you try changing the options? [22:05] Centos requires a DVD or 4 CDs, shebal [22:06] DroP-PsyChoSiS, phone your company [22:06] DroP-PsyChoSiS, call your ISP up and ask them [22:06] DroP-PsyChoSiS: you'll have to call isp and have them reset [22:06] pen: typically backports has newer apps, or sometimes the people who made the app will have a deb or even a repo [22:06] MXIIA: centos dont have a live cd? [22:06] I think the Ubuntu server has all the LAMP packages on the disc. [22:06] Jimmey: i have tried all of the tests, but nothing that mentions that number you sent me [22:06] yes, I know, I have a CentOS CD right here... [22:06] cpk1, but backport always prompt me to install older flash nonfree [22:06] ddelony: yes [22:06] has anyone had any problems with the network-manager applet reporting incorrect info in the details? I am using wireless and it says it is 1 Mb/s but when i check the network tools it says it is up at 54 and about 1.10 ms pings. [22:06] Jimmey: and of course no sound [22:06] Lusul1: yeah, it'll be fine, just remake your user account and it'll just fall right back into place without any loss [22:06] Is gentoo good? I'm thinking about downloading and installing it with my Ubuntu .. [22:06] cpk1, while I installed flash from intrepid repo [22:07] ! gentoo [22:07] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [22:07] cpk1, even locking the version doesn't help it upgrade [22:07] cpk1, it annoys me [22:07] pen: you probably should not have installed from the intrepid repo either [22:07] loz, it could work. Bear in mind not to update straight away, because I'm not 100% sure that it works with newer kernels. Are the speakers plugged in, working and switched on? Are they plugged into the correct jack? You might need to disable the previous device - I'll get you a link. [22:07] Me, I believe in the right tool for the right job, and that goes for distros as well. [22:07] cpk1, so I thought backport are some packages for workaround onnly [22:08] cpk1, I install flash from intrepid repo because it's the real flash 10 [22:08] Jimmey: but in the box that says device, it says that i am using alsa mixer, is this correct? [22:08] debCarlos, good is a relative term .. it could be good for you, not for someone else - the gripe with gentoo is it is a source distribution, so you spend a lot of time building packages [22:08] loz, what are your options? [22:08] cpk1, while the backport only changes the name to 10 but it's really 9 [22:08] pen: says who? [22:08] bonsoire [22:08] Shaba1: with regards to apache (x)ubuntu and redhat might be rather different, ubuntu follows the debian way of arranging the configuration files for Apache 2.0 (which is not documented in the standard Apache documentation) .. an overview is available at http://www.control-escape.com/web/configuring-apache2-debian.html [22:09] pen, don't suggest using a mixed system to someone else -- it's not fair [22:09] Jimmey: they are sevral, alsa, nvidia, realtek playbac and oss mixer [22:09] unop: Ok, i'll give it a try in QEMU [22:09] unop, i'm not suggesting anything. it's my preference [22:09] cpk1, ? [22:09] cpk1, the name of the packages [22:09] pen, yes, but people will think it's ok to do it -- and come back later complaining about things being broken [22:10] pen Since it is not a suggestion and your opinion.. it is offtopic in here [22:10] cpk1, go to packages.ubuntu.com and search for flash in hardy-backport [22:10] unop, i'm only concern about 10 that's it [22:10] unop, and since the package is only avaiable in intrepid repo [22:10] pen, you mentioned getting it from intrepid -- don't [22:10] i have got a question [22:10] unop, or I won't bother using that [22:10] every time i unmount my external it automounts again immediately [22:11] loz, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting with the section "Configuring default..." [22:11] in /media their is two mount names [22:11] steve_: weird.... [22:11] identical except second one has a _ at the end [22:11] pen, the better way would be to download the tarball from abode [22:11] Jimmey: could it be that the original card that is installed from first ubuntu installation is causing conflict with the soundblaster cardµ? [22:11] loz, it could be, try that link [22:11] unop, but wouldn't it messed up apt? [22:11] any ideas? [22:12] I'm trying to set up Firefox so that MKV files play in the VLC plugin. It's not working in the Applications settings (no option for VLC plugin in the dropdown box) so can I set it in about:config? [22:12] cpk1, thx for the help [22:12] i am confused [22:12] Jimmey: THX i will give it a shot [22:12] pen, not really, and definitely not as much as installing the intrepid package on hardy or earlier [22:12] steve_: i don't have any idea, sorry :( [22:12] loz, you're welcome, let me know how it goes for you [22:12] no prob deb carlos [22:13] unop, actually, this suggestion originated from a guide in ubuntuforums. He gives us the link from intrepid [22:13] hello [22:13] Hey to all the people who were trying to help me with my graphics card [22:13] pen Drop it.. anyone can post on the forums. [22:13] unop, it's good, at least 10 don't have problems with pulseautio [22:13] pen, that's bad advice - he shouldn't have suggested that (or perhaps he should have warned others about the consequences) [22:13] someone has found out the issue, something was modifying the environment, no idea what that means [22:14] but I am a happy bunny now [22:14] pen, that's not the point - you can severly wreck things using a mixed system [22:14] severely* [22:14] anyone got any ideas? [22:14] can i delete the first mount point? [22:14] pen: using the intrepid repo could have caused much larger problems for you [22:14] unop, only this package and I don't consider this packages essential to the system [22:15] cpk1, I"m not using the repo, I install the package from the repo [22:15] pen, are you listening? don't mention it here, other people will pick up on it and start doing it too -- will you be around to help them if things start going wrong? [22:15] pen Drop it.. [22:15] I'm trying to compile bluez-libs and bluez-utils- when compiling libs do I have to move them to a specific location?

[22:45] failure: you choose one, install one, reboot, choose the other, it installs the other [22:45] k [22:45] hey orgthingy [22:46] superfirelord42 the question is, can u use the preseed method? [22:47] for even setting up the ldap support and all of that [22:47] failure: oh, sorry, i must have misread it [22:47] AHH HAH....Polygon89, i tried it again, and i think i have it [22:47] Can someone help me restore my internets connection? I recently ran an update on my computer (I'm running 6.10, I believe.) and I lost the ability to connect to the internet [22:47] failure: i know you could do the kickstart one... since it uses a simple file [22:47] kubotaz4, are you running 'firefox' or 'firefox.bin" [22:47] Using wireless, I mean. [22:47] i just dont know how the preseed method works... [22:48] Ive got it..i think i had a small window still open that I didnt close. but i tried it again and it upgraded fine! [22:48] superfirelord42 can i install ubuntu with kickstart? [22:48] kubotaz4, ok. and if you upgrade to hardy its installed by default =P [22:48] Polygon89, now what should i do with this folder? [22:48] where can I control sound prefrences? [22:48] Polygon89 will isnt that peachy [22:48] failure: i do not think so, kickstart is specificly fedora... [22:48] hello there [22:48] kubotaz4, you can move it into your home folder, or just make a folder called 'programs' and put it in there [22:49] great....now this was an example, but what are my limitations to dling other programs? Polygon89 [22:49] I am new to all this but I need help to install ubuntu [22:49] kubotaz4, and then you can make a program launcher (right click on a panel > add to panel > new launcher) and then browser for that firefox file that you clicked on [22:49] every time i try to ssh to some machine, a window pop-ups asking-me to unlock the private key.. [22:49] kubotaz4, well there are still a lot of programs, its just that you might not get the 'newest latest version' [22:49] owner: What's your problem/doubt ? [22:50] owner: are you using the live cd? and is it going to be dual boot? [22:50] i search a lot on the web but havent found any solutions [22:50] kubotaz4, through the repos, so if you just have to use the latest version, you can just download it and run most programs in the same way you did here [22:50] i have to do it with floopies [22:50] irc://irc.efnet.net/doom9 [22:50] can anybody help me? [22:50] 1.44 [22:50] owner: floppies? ouch... [22:50] w00ps, trying to figure out how to tell chatzilla to go there :-\ [22:50] how do you know if your video card has a tuner [22:50] yeah [22:50] i know [22:50] Polygon89, well with other applications, or programs? is it as easy to install programs like firefox, or are others more complicated? [22:51] machine has no cd rom [22:51] and i really want this [22:51] is working with senaptic and add programs my best bet? [22:51] kubotaz4, if there is a program that isnt in the repo or isnt the newest version, you might have to compile it first, but usually they come in binary already [22:51] owner, i know its possible [22:51] owner: do you have network on that machine? [22:52] well i dont know how to do that...is that type file ending in .bin? [22:52] kubotaz4, binary just means that its already compiled, you shoulden't have to worry about compiling programs but if you have to , im sure someone on irc or the forums will help you =P [22:52] hi, I tried installing my nvidia drivers using envy [22:52] anybody already had the some problem? [22:52] thanks again Polygon89. [22:52] kubotaz4, to install a file that ends in bin, try sh filename.bin [22:52] it worked, but I couldn't get opengl games to work (such as eve online) [22:53] so I uninstalled envy, but the nvidia drivers dn't appear in the restricted drivers manager [22:53] how do I get them back in there? [22:53] failure: it is possible to dual boot them.. i just read a little on the preseed method [22:53] I tried installing the nvidia drivers manually but that was a no go [22:53] shyal, make sure the restricted drivers package is installed for your specific kernel [22:54] yes [22:54] I do [22:54] I do [22:54] owner: awesome.... do you need help getting started, or are you going to just pop in when you have trouble with stuff..

[22:58] I know I try that after i got frustrated for three solid days [22:58] owner: How is it??? I have never tested it, but i like the things i read about that OS .. [22:59] SebNaitsabes, im on dapper and i need to upgrade libgtk2, how should i do it? [22:59] _xyz, I didn't either. It was an upgrade that didn't do my xorg.conf properly [22:59] its on a floppy [22:59] one flppy [22:59] can you believe that [22:59] megasquid: yes you should be able to get from your dapper repo [22:59] <_xyz> seven_six_two: how did your resolve that then?

[22:59] looking for help installing the libc development packages [22:59] written in assembly [22:59] megasquid: or if you already got the latest dapper one, you should be able to get it from the net some where [23:00] _xyz, I used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:00] <_xyz> seven_six_two: and how did you kown that the problem was with xserver? [23:00] anyways, owner, the easiest ways are a floppy with etherboot, or a bigger usb using an alternate cd... [23:00] anyone know what causes a dual monitor setup using KDE to have two desktops that you can open apps on and use them and NOT be able to move those apps from one monitor to another? [23:00] SebNaitsabes, i already have the latest dapper one, i could get it from the net, but it has a lot of dependencies [23:00] ok [23:00] SebNaitsabes, the latest dapper one is 2.8 i need 2.12 [23:00] megasquid: well dapper is old why not just upgrade to Hardy? [23:00] _xyz, because everything graphical was out of whack. can you see the icons on your desktop?

USB just requires internet...

[23:03] do i need to do anything to the machine first [23:03] ? [23:03] Can someone help me set up MythTV? I'm getting a no upnp found error, and I think it has something to do with my multiple mysql.txt files (I have 8 of them) but I have no idea which of them are important. [23:03] !exploit [23:03] There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit [23:03] owner: nope.... [23:03] !feedthetroll [23:03] The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. [23:04] leave everything as is [23:04] I got this from the site what do you recommend [23:04] superfirelord42: yep :) But it doesn't work for Hardy... [23:04] owner: the secound one i was looking at [23:04] sorry, that was to debCarlos [23:05] NOTE: This method is broken under Hardy. Technical details of the bug are here. If you need to do a netboot install then you must use an earlier distribution and then upgrade to Hardy once the earlier distribution is installed. [23:05] problem; have a linux box I want to use for a squid proxy .. dmesg is reporting that the drive and mobo support ata100 but no 80-conductor cable so it's runing at ata33.

[23:05] SmartBootManager.? [23:06] going to try a different cable today, but using 'ide0=ata66' should override it anyhow. but it doesn't? [23:06] owner, i will look at that...

[23:08] and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic is installed [23:08] no, SmartBootManager is diffrent, this is to just the boot floppies [23:08] rapha_: easy [23:09] !b-e | shyal [23:09] shyal: Compiling software from source?

I also only want the _temp_ [23:10] anyone have any idea how to fix the problem of having dual monitor setup in kde on hardy, both monitors can have programs opened on them but I cannot move those apps to the opposite monitor, only the mouse [23:10] shyal - what graphics card have you got? [23:10] shyal: did it do that before? [23:10] Is there a way to completely remove Grub from my system, I have XP and Ubuntu. I accidentally installed Grub to the MBR and to my second drive.

Have you rebooted since uninstalling envy? [23:11] R0t: fix with Windows CD [23:11] I used the CD and told it to fixmbr (i think is the command), but grub is still there >.< [23:11] one floppy each [23:12] Yacht: have you looked at this: http://www.schlesinger.us/?p=412 ? Also, check what processes are running and remove any unecessary ones (such as bluetooth) [23:12] zcat[1]: i have rebooted [23:12] R0t: ask in #windows since this is really a Windows issue [23:12] Ok [23:12] owner: correct... [23:13] ok [23:13] on it === nicholas is now known as Guest17651 [23:13] shyal: open a terminal and 'sudo apt-get autoremove', there may be other packages that envy depended on that weren't cleaned up? also 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new' will go ahead and install the drivers weather or not restricted-drivers-manager thinks you need them... which might solve the problem for you [23:14] Hello. GParted is telling me that it can't see my FAT32 partition which has some very important files on it. Could someone please help me to mount it? [23:14] hello. I have an issue with my ubuntu install.

It's preventing me from mounting root via nfs... [23:15] Heh, i've figured out what is wrong. Now I need a recommendation, what would be a good partition editor to use? (just have to format) [23:15] one wired and ther other wirless [23:15] i am running the linux version and its pretty good [23:15] Guest17651: I think it's the same for FAT32 as NTFS. they must be shut down properly in Windows. that's a re boot or a shut down of the computer. otherwise when you try access them in Linux there will be an issue [23:15] Driv3r912, yeah but i want the repos for using with apt and the amsn svn and xorg for lastest drivers [23:15] owner: do you have rawwrite or dd for windows? [23:15] well i installed ubuntu on another free partition and it does not know what filesystem my fried partition is. [23:16] it is ext3 [23:16] I tried skype last week.. three days of spam chats every 15 minutes, even though I had it set to deny chats unless I authorised them first. And it turns out that all my friends who were using skype have also given up on it so I couldn't find anybody to talk to anyhow! [23:16] SebNaitsabes: What can I do? I badly need to access it (it worked in Ubuntu before). [23:16] no i have winrar [23:16] not win rar [23:16] <_xyz> help: After fresh 8.04 installation + updates + nvidia gfx drivers, I get no taskbar at the top, only a blank desktop!

[23:16] turning off any skype ports in your router will help [23:16] i assume that this is not actually a grub issue but a ext3 corruption [23:17] but not entirely curtail those dumb chat requests [23:17] buenas a todos [23:17] skype == teh suck. Use ekiga on sipphone.com, get your windows friends to install gizmoproject. It's just like skype except using the open SIP protocol [23:17] Guest17651: in Ubuntu is the parttion detected, but you can't access it? [23:17] does ekiga have incoming numbers regular landlines can call? [23:17] anybody here spanish? [23:17] no i have winrar [23:17] ivorybishop: it can do [23:17] !es [23:17] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:17] is that the same [23:17] ivorybishop: sipphone does [23:17] skype does [23:17] how do you do to have the virtual desktop change when you approach the mouse from the border??.. cannot find the setting? :s [23:17] ivorybishop: it's just a voip client [23:18] sweetness [23:18] is ubuntu-7.04-alternate-powerpc.iso good or what ? [23:18] Then run apt-get update to sync to the latest repository and [23:18] apt-get install skype to install the latest version of Skype on your computer. [23:18] i gotta liook into that then [23:18] it also seems like the driver is missing from the alternate CD, so I can't install from the net? anyone know why it's in the install but not in the live cd? [23:18] ivorybishop: you can set up a voip number and connect ekiga to it [23:18] xcause skype is teh suxxor and i have been stressing over it [23:18] ivorybishop: if you're really hardcore you can set up asterisk and run your own PABX [23:18] owner: no, you do not need winrar, its for archiving, you need a dd or rawwrite tool... [23:18] wow, thanks [23:18] SebNaitsabes: It was shut down and removed several months ago. It was working in Ubuntu until I reinstalled it. Gparted said that it could not detect it.

[23:18] i need my files [23:18] i am not that hardcore. lol [23:18] did you get that lucas_? [23:18] ekiga is just the client. You can use MANY different providers.. sipphone, free world dialup, chances are even your ISP can provide your home phone over SIP if you know who to ask.. [23:18] altho the thot has crossed me mind oncst or twiced [23:18] thanks [23:19] is there a way to search package descriptions in aptitude? [23:19] hmmm [23:19] fpor the enlightnment [23:19] ivorybishop: it's worth a shot - steep learning curve but great for messing with telemarketers [23:19] plenty of providers can sell you a dialin number and/or dialout capability. [23:19] I have to leave but just send any help to j.mcclanahan@digitalvaldosta.com [23:19] heheh [23:19] ok, now i am intrigued [23:19] lol [23:19] Driv3r912, sorry man what did u say?? i was googlin [23:19] valdosta ga? [23:19] ivorybishop: get a number that looks like a normal mobile number, but costs 50p/minute, route it through your asterisk server, and then put it on some "consumer survey" forms === __yy___ is now known as __yy [23:19] anyone here with imac 233MHz? :) [23:20] scroll up a bit for a description on how to add the Skype Repos and to get the latest version [23:20] hahaha [23:20] how do I stop a network card from autoconfiguring itself? its not in /etc/network/interfaces, yet it brings itself up, then aquires a dhcp address automatically. [23:20] thats just evil [23:20] i like it [23:20] ivorybishop: then when they ring it, "Oh, what? Yes I *am* interested in new double glazing, can I just get you on the other phone? It's a bit noisy here..." and then wait... === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [23:20] hahhahaha [23:20] ivorybishop: my record is 8 minutes 23 seconds [23:20] even if I ifconfig eth0 down, it brings itself back up?!

[23:22] ok [23:22] bleck: have you looked at this: http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319 ? [23:22] shyal: nvidia drivers can be a pita if you switch between envy, regular packages and binary installer. They never clean up after themselves properly which breaks any other driver trying to replace them [23:22] Thybo: its in the awn, maybe under general or cube [23:22] how much ram do I need to do a text mode install of Ubuntu? [23:22] zcat[1]: that may be part of my problem === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [23:22] so what you are soing is that the previous three should be in the place as this new one [23:22] where is the "fonts" folder [23:23] zcat[1]: didnt know the drivers wouldnt clean themselves up [23:23] Codenut: 64 MB should be enough [23:23] stiev: I want it to stay down, not come up. [23:23] zcat[1]: is there a directory they are all stored in that could be wipe before installing new ones? [23:23] stiev: its not in /etc/network/interfaces at all. [23:23] Hi. I just configured my gmail account with Thunderbird and I need it to get all my messages from the account but it's only grabbing the new ones. How can I make it get the read messages too? [23:23] stiev: unless there's a NoAuto eth0 command or soemthing [23:23] something [23:23] where can i find usplash themes besides gnome look? [23:23] hi [23:24] naruttebayo: i think you have to set that up in the gmail settings in your account. [23:24] !fonts : goldenpockets [23:24] legend2440: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:24] ivorybishop: the binary installer is the worst; there's a proper uninstall process you follow. If you don't do that, nothing else will ever work until you track down all the mismatched .so's and delete them. Probably easier to just reinstall! [23:24] where can i find the fonts folder? [23:24] what is the best text mode email program? [23:24] thanks [23:24] i'm having trouble with suspend/hibernate [23:24] http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.10/Issues/8400M_Suspend_Hibernate-Failure [23:24] how do i run this script? [23:24] in terminal? [23:24] bleck: are you doing this from the command line? [23:24] zcat[1]: oh my, i have installed and reinstalled several times trying to get my stuff right, no wonder its crapping out on me. [23:25] is there a scientific explanation why torrents that are not a single file (example movie) download slower than the single filed ones? are there any ways to increase download speed in transmission client? maybe some tricks on how to set up peer numbers, connections, ports and such? [23:25] where must i write !fonts? terminal? [23:25] bleck: you should just be able to comment out the eth0 line, so that it shows "# eth0" (without quotes) [23:25] ivorybishop: I did file a bug somewhere, but there's SFA ubuntu can really do since it's propriatory software. And the package deleting the stray .so's would violate the principle that packages _never_ mess with other package's files.. [23:25] thanks all, I am going to try googleing my question [23:25] stiev: yeah [23:25] goldenpockets: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [23:25] zcat[1]: that makes sense [23:25] stiev: /etc/network/interfaces doesn't have an eth0 at all. [23:25] Codenut: try mutt, or alpine [23:26] bleck: but it is coming up and acquiring an address? [23:26] are you here [23:26] stiev: yes. nfi why. [23:26] owner: my client crashed....

[23:27] so nobody knows about mobos that can't tell ata33 from ata100-capable cables?

[23:27] hey folks, does anyone know how to extract images from a swf? [23:27] all I see in my interfaces file is the LO the real info must be elsewhere [23:27] where is the trash dir? [23:27] legend 2440 thanks [23:28] stiev: well, theres a bridge and tap0 set up, but they are used for different things.. [23:28] owner: basicly, the images contain your boot sector and everything you need to make the floppies... rawwrite allows you to write it instead of just sticking it on the floppy [23:28] bleck: and those are the only ones? [23:28] trash is a hidden file in the root of each disk TRASH-0 [23:28] joshual: swfextract? [23:28] joshual: if it's just one or two images... take screenshots, that's the easiest :) [23:28] joshual: (swftools package) [23:28] i would like to download music and does anyone know what program i can use [23:29] keri: iTunes ?

[23:29] i am about to do a bare-bones install of ubuntu with fluxbox, i plan on using firefox3, mrxvt, evince, mplayer, irssi, some games and other stuff. i would like pretty fonts like i have in standard ubuntu now, will msttcorefonts packge be what i need?

( only the mouse moves from monitor to monitor without issue) [23:29] bleck, what is the awn? :p [23:29] hld doing it on ther machine [23:29] stiev: thought it might be a kernel thing or like an automount util for devices [23:29] owner: open rawrite2....

[23:31] linxeh: sorry :) [23:32] EnMasse187: i think you could try with Wine and no$gba... google can help you too [23:32] question: this might seem dumb question to some..but I just got rid if windows......and decided to experiment with freebsd on the partition I have win vista on... but when freebsg installed it overrode GRUB with BSD loader and it wont load up ubuntu anymore..... [23:32] bleck: Could you paste your config at http://paste.ubuntu.com and enter the link? [23:32] ty for some places to look [23:32] Thybo: run ccsm [23:32] whats the terminal clear screen command? [23:32] is it possible to run an installed windows system on ubuntu??

[23:39] hello, how can I prevent a process that I installed from running automatically on boot? It runs before gnome loads [23:39] linksys [23:39] owner: are you installing on a machine with a wireless card or a wired connection? [23:39] owner: if it comes with linux drivers, there is a good chance, if not, there is a chance lol [23:39] owner: It should support it.... [23:39] iCEifer, what is the process? [23:39] purplestar: not nearly as many as there would be in Windows, plus, you can always clear them [23:40] debCarlos: does the installer support wireless though... [23:40] hello. I i just updated my PC w/ the latest kernels, but grub isn't showing it. So, I ran "sudo update-grub". It told me it updated grub w/ the new entries, but they are not reflected when I reboot? Any ideas? [23:40] anyone know how I can change the size of the icons on the desktop and fonts overall? everything looks kinda big even at 1024x738. [23:40] owner: linksys has been very friendly under linux for me [23:40] actually, yeah.. is there a sysv config util in ubuntu? [23:40] owner: ignore anyone saying "should." there is no way to make such an assessment accurately without knowing the card's chipset model and vendor. [23:40] or still using update-rc.d? [23:40] purplestar: the only thing a cookie can do is invade your privacy by enabling a site to track you as an individule, there is a lot of hysteria about cookies which is not based on fact [23:40] cos i really love this pc that i am putting ubuntu on i want to use it as my prmary machine [23:40] mneptok: ok, fine, may [23:40] bleck, you can use either [23:40] owner: who makes the the chipset on the card? [23:40] bobertdos: but I cannot clear them all, because some cookies I need to auto login in to some websites. Is there a cookie cleaner for Ubuntu Firefox that allows me to tell it not to clear some cookies? [23:41] mneptok: he said linksys, thats half your equation, most of the newer stuff is supported [23:41] u know take iy every where it light wietght [23:41] superfirelord42: oh... i don't know it... i said it because my Ubuntu recognized it... but after, not IN the installation... [23:41] owner: (hint, Linksys does nto make wireless chipsets) [23:41] unop: where's the util? [23:41] owner: do you have a wired plug you can use for hte install? [23:41] bleck: I'm not an expert at this, but it seems that you are creating a bridge port on eth0, correct? And with the bridged port, you are defining one side, but not the other. Have you tried setting eth0 as a static address? [23:41] ivorybishop: Linksys does not make chipsets [23:41] em_: what are your security and IT qualifications to make that statement? And what research have you conducted into this issue? [23:41] wired plug [23:41] ? [23:41] purplestar: perhaps.......take a look around Synaptic, see what you can find [23:41] owner: are you going to be doing the install wireless? [23:41] owner: so far I have tried ubuntu with 3 different wireless cards, two of them work, and the thrid does not -- but it almost works and with enough fiddling will probably work maybe [23:41] mneptok: dude, your being pedantic, hes not trying to setup a chipset, just a linksys card [23:41] some cookies I need to auto login in to some websites. Is there a cookie cleaner for Ubuntu Firefox that allows me to tell it not to clear some cookies? [23:42] bleck, you mean sysv-rc-conf ? [23:42] ivorybishop: but the problem is, the chipset does mater, the same brand can have incompatible chipsets... [23:42] stiev: basically, a bridge is made for tap0 and br0 on eth0, so br0 gets an ip, and tap0 gets an ip, but eth0 shouldn't, because its no longer seen. [23:42] !cookie cleaners [23:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about cookie cleaners [23:42] unop, tor [23:42] ivorybishop: i'm not being pedantic. i'm being accurate. there are Linksys cards with Broadcom chipsets that will not owrk in Linux. there are Linksys cards with Atheros chips that will. [23:42] !cookie [23:42] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [23:42] stiev: thanks for your help, i'll see what i can dig up on google [23:43] the dude asked a basic, vague question and was given a answer which matched [23:43] iCEifer, sudo update-rc.d tor -f remove [23:43] no i will use wire [23:43] lol [23:43] unop: very possibly, will check it out, thanks [23:43] i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and i don't have fancy progress bars... how do i enable them? [23:43] but once i am done I want to be abkle to run free with the laptop [23:43] anything else is just arguing for the sake ot it [23:43] and mywirless card [23:43] bleck: yeah, keep looking around. I thought the problem was simpler than this. Are you running Qemu? [23:43] iCEifer, actually sudo update-rc.d -f tor remove [23:43] owner: what exact model is the card? [23:43] iCEifer: that will remove it from starting altogether (eg: you can still manually start it) [23:43] owner: bassicly, i can garuntee the installer wont work on your wireless... what model laptop is it... we can search to find out if hte wifi or laptop is supported... [23:43] hld a sec [23:44] owner: After the installation, it will run ok, i guess... [23:44] some cookies I need to auto login in to some websites. Is there a cookie cleaner for Ubuntu Firefox that allows me to tell it not to clear some cookies? [23:44] purplestar: I am a systems level programmer with about 20 years of experience include writing a mini web server but dont take my work for it. try the apache docs or otherwise google. the actual fact is that a cookie is only a text file and nothing more. and it can onlyl contain a small text string at that. usually it is given an id number which can be used to track your browser uniquieuely [23:44] owner: wait, an external or internal card... [23:44] stiev: the bridge is setup for virtualbox to use tap0 [23:44] owner: since it's Linksys and this is a laptop, is this a Cardbus or ExpressCard? [23:44] stiev: I don't know what qemu is [23:44] unop, bleck, thanks....when I did that it prints out the usage as if it didn't do it? [23:44] nm [23:44] oh yeah, forgot, linksys doesnt do intergrated... [23:45] thanks :) [23:45] linksys wireless g model no. wpc54g [23:45] i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and i don't have fancy progress bars my friend has fancy progress bars and the app/places/system drop downs have an orange side-bar... how do i get this on my pc? [23:45] Hey- could someone give me a hand installing a driver? its a USB transciever @ iguanaworks.net - I'm running into some trouble [23:45] purplestar: goto the firefox addons site there are about half a doze that will do what you want [23:45] em_: where? [23:45] hehe now someone needs to know more than the vendor and chipset innocent whistle [23:45] any ideas how I can change the size of the desktop icons in gnome? [23:45] I'm kind of playing with the thought of starting to read about adding packages for ubuntu. [23:45] and overall text/font sizes [23:45] dena: a theme? [23:46] bleck, it was his default theme and i don't see it as default on mine... [23:46] owner: Cardbus? v7? [23:46] iCEifer: You originally wanted to raise the screen resolution, didn't you? [23:46] where are firefox cookies stored in Ubuntu hard drive? [23:46] bleck: qemu is used in virtualization, probably similar if not exactly what you're trying to do [23:46] purplestar: ~/.mozilla/***.profile [23:46] purplestar: somewhere in .mozilla/firefox/ [23:46] purplestar: why? [23:46] iCEifer: System->Preferences->Screen Resolution [23:46] gordonjcp: because I want to know the exact cookie I need to keep for a ceertain website [23:47] how do I tell if I successfully installed the b43 driver for a broadcom wireless card? [23:47] ivorybishop: excuse me? [23:47] mneptok: is that folder hidden? [23:47] bobertdos, no, I wish to leave it at 1024x768 but reduce the font sizes on everything and the icon sizes on the desktop [23:47] purplestar: yassir [23:47] mneptok: a seach on that one shows that it works, but requires using ndiswrapper [23:47] vices: if you unplug the wired connection and can still hit google, you probably have it working correctly. lol [23:47] purplestar, with firefox 3 they are stored in a sqlite database in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.profile/cookies.sqlite [23:47] purplestar: run firefox -- open tools menu - click on "addons" click the link to get more addons -- when you get to that site do a search for cookie [23:47] mneptok: all I see is Cache, no cookie folder [23:47] mneptok: excused [23:47] so i am in luck or not guys with my card [23:47] ivorybishop: wow really? ;) [23:47] superfirelord42: the v7 model uses the Atheros 5005G chipset, supported by MadWiFi [23:48] vices: i couldnt resist mate [23:48] installing the broadcom card driver is a really tough thing for a linux newbie! [23:48] ivorybishop: 18:41 < ivorybishop> hehe now someone needs to know more than the vendor and chipset innocent whistle [23:48] vices: otherwise <- clueless noob [23:48] owner: what is the version on the card? [23:48] v7? [23:48] em_: ok [23:48] ivorybishop: care to explain why you're deliberately being counter-productive? [23:48] stiev: just reading up on qemu.. how cool is that. [23:49] could someone give me hand installing a driver in ubuntu? [23:49] mneptok: ooh, it can scroll back, cut and paste, and it even makes julienne fries. lol [23:49] heyevening [23:49] unop: i only have kka5fhff.default folder in ~/.mozilla/firefox/. Dont see any *.profile/cookies.sqlite [23:49] * bleck realises he is a computer geek. [23:49] mneptok: lets let this one pass, eh? [23:49] Newbie question.

[23:50] all i did was a make a statement and you started telling the guy not to listen to anyone [23:50] debCarlos: hey you there? [23:50] will leaving cookies on my PC allow anyone to gain my passwords for my Bank website etc? [23:50] and basically started the rudeness [23:51] purplestar, ls -l ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/cookies.sqlite [23:51] ivorybishop: feel free to discuss this in -ops. the subject is closed here. [23:51] ivorybishop: are you trying to get kicked by him? [23:51] i'll gladly leave the channel dude [23:51] Hi, was hoping someone could help me with my Pulse Audio problems (if here's not the place, tell me to go elsewhere :P). My sound seems to randomly "stop working" and the only way to fix it is to logout and back in [23:51] gnome-sound-proprties reports the following error: [23:51] sound-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink': Failed to connect: Connection refused [pulsesink.c(342): gst_pulsesink_open (): /bin0/pulsesink0] [23:51] ivorybishop: or yall could just drop it... [23:51] unop: that command doesnt do me any good, all it said was.. -rw-r--r-- 1 lisa lisa 27648 2008-07-17 08:49 /home/lisa/.mozilla/firefox/kka5fhff.default/cookies.sqlite [23:51] its dropped [23:51] unop: any other ideas? [23:51] I've tried restarting /etc/init.d/pulseaudio but this doesn't do anything, and dmesg doesn't show any problems [23:51] owner, are you still there? [23:52] how do I set up a vnc server on ubuntu so that I can us it even if I'm not loged in X [23:52] aCiD2, go to menu > sys > pref > sounds > 2nd tab see if esd iun enabled? [23:52] owner: is this Linksys a Cardbus device? v7 of the card? [23:52] will leaving all cookies on my PC allow hackers etc to gain my password or other private data? [23:52] purplestar, thats the file that represents your cookie database [23:52] purplestar: if your bank relies on cookies for storing you account password, i'd suggest changing bank [23:52] purplestar, no [23:52] purplestar: no [23:52] I have a Gnome-Issue: I applied a theme which changed the look of the panels by replacing the background image. This altered also the looking of some other windows. How can I change the look of the gnome-panel system wide (maybe already in a theme)? [23:52] is there a way to configure GRUB to recognize a FREEBSD partition? [23:52] glitsj16: i didnt say it did, listen carefully and read all my comments before jumoping to conclusions [23:53] I am running 8.04 here, all updated. [23:53] unop, I currently run a program by doing "sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy start" how can I have this run on boot? [23:53] davidh1983: yes there is.... [23:53] purplestar: i did [23:53] I want to install a more comprehensive list of compilers and dependencies where can I find that info [23:53] Slart: so I can leave cookies alone and never bother clearing out the cookies? [23:53] can anyone recommend a working nds emulator, i tried desmume and it crashes soon as i start it console says windows x error... [23:53] i am having a problem with the genisoimage. Can anyone help me? [23:53] , try using Compiz/Emerald [23:53] I now just realised I had installed a game by non regular means. It's not in synaptic. [23:53] i went and downloaded lime ware and now i can not find it [23:53] purplestar: seeing you don't know the first thing about cookies i'm gonna put the sock in it [23:53] Legendario: whats wrong? [23:53] How can I set Ubuntu to automatically mount my Windows HDD, regardless of whether I shut Winlulz down properly? [23:53] EnMasse187: already tried no$gba ? [23:53] davidh1983: well, i know there is a way, i think i have forgot how though... i had it doing a freebsd dual boot... [23:53] glitsj16: On your desktop maybe.? [23:53] glitsj16: if you did, then you would realise I never said I wanted to keep my bank cookies. When I spoke about bank, it was in reference to anyone gainin gmy bank password if all cookies are on my PC! read in context son [23:54] Driv3r912: is it a emerald setting? [23:54] debCarlos: yes i got that, sometimes the game opens up and says data cant be read please reinsert cartridge, OR the game loads up and crashes to desktop [23:54] debCarlos: im using wine [23:54] with emerald, you can select themes off of the web and it will change panel looks and window styles system-wide. [23:54] onikos: ? [23:54] debCarlos: and desmume which is linux native doesnt work either, windows x error... [23:54] yeah sorry [23:54] , no, it really has to do with the theme you are using [23:54] <__yy> Xavura: put it in your fstab, shutting down windows properly or not has no effect on mounting the drive in linux [23:54] Xavura: you don't. Windows flags NTFS partitions unmounted improperly. those flags disallow reliable mounting in Linux. [23:54] i had to prepare the other machine [23:54] glitsj16: you are very condescending and arrogant, you think you know it all, but a truly wise man would realise they dont know much [23:54] glitsj16: You downloaded a program, check your desktop. [23:54] i am baack now [23:54] EnMasse187: oh, ok, i tought it would work, let me seach a little in google... [23:55] owner: was the card a v7? [23:55] I have a newb question... I installed a deb package and I don't know how to locate the program to start it since it didn't place it in the programs menu [23:55] mneptok: I was told you can tell it to ignore the flag [23:55] debCarlos: kk im gonna search aswell [23:55] a fool thinks he knows it all, but a truly wise man realises he doesnt know much. So we all now know what category you fit into glitsj16 [23:55] onikos: what are youtalking about ? [23:55] I mean applications [23:55] EnMasse187, I type: genisoimage -R -b /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o ~/UbuntuBootCDforUSB.iso /tmp/bootcd. But i get: genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image '/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito' ! [23:55] iCEifer, sudo update-rc.d privoxy start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 . [23:55] Xavura: you can, but it's quite risky [23:55] glitsj16: What are you talking about?? [23:55] purplestar: if your bank stores your password in a cookie you have far more to worry about than your cookies [23:55] glitsj16: Think before you talk. [23:55] is there a way to run finch with the newest libpurple? [23:55] linxeh: i doesnt, and I never said it does LOL [23:55] glitsj16: a fool thinks he knows it all, but a truly wise man realises he doesnt know much. So we all now know what category you fit into glitsj16 [23:55] i am installing the irc client on the other machine so i can do everything from there [23:55] purplestar: if you have ubuntu support issues, state them, keep the rest oftopic [23:55] it should be done now [23:55] EnMasse187, i am writing the whole path, what's wrong? [23:56] glitsj16: i dont take orders from you son. no go away flee :) [23:56] 23:52 will leaving all cookies on my PC allow hackers etc to gain my password or other private data? [23:56] purplestar: the answer is indeterminate, some web programmers have done some very stupid things in the past. they put actual info into the cookie instead of just an id number. but I think it is pretty rare these days for such ignorance. anyway there are safeguards that are supposed to prvent a website from being able to read anything that it did not create. so most cookies only contain a number that is meaninlgess to anyone who manages to rea [23:56] dit anyway. but me personally I always delete cookies at frequent intervals because I dont like being tracked. there is way too much big brother orwell stuff these days. I enourage you to install one of the cookie addons that let you make certina cookies to be saved and then the rest can be deleted at will. sorry dont recall the specific name of it offhand [23:56] unop, System startup links for /etc/init.d/privoxy already exist. it's already running on boot by itself? :) [23:56] i opened firefox and search music download and found lime ware and then went to that web site and it does use this program and i hit download. Now i can not find it or if it downloaded. can i get help [23:56] where can i locate such info [23:56] iCEifer, yes, but this ought to force anyway. sudo update-rc.d -f privoxy start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 . [23:56] em_: hope you clear your flash cookies too :) [23:57] it saids [23:57] em_: http://epic.org/privacy/cookies/flash.html [23:57] !ot [23:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:57] linksys wireless g model no. wpc54g [23:57] unop, k, I ran that and it said the links already exisit, but this will make sure I guess? [23:57] umm, i lost terminal - sorry for repeating the question - can i run finch with the newest libpurple? [23:58] Legendario: umm could you explain again whats your problem? [23:58] iCEifer, you can verify. ls -l /etc/rc2.d/*privoxy* [23:58] Legendario: nvm [23:58] deluge vs ktorrent vs utorrent on wine - what would you suggest on ubuntu hardy ? [23:58] unop, yeah, it's there...thanks :) [23:58] EnMasse187: Found one emulator, it's name is IdeaS [23:59] Shujah: I like azureus [23:59] I want to install a more comprehensive list of compilers and dependencies where can I find that info please [23:59] <__yy> Shujah: of those choices, ktorrent... but I would reccommend rtorrent over ktorrent. === sylvie is now known as julia [23:59] debCarlos: i heard if you use no$gba you have to decrypt the roms?! [23:59] EnMasse187, what does nvm mean? well, i am using the parameter -b and setting the path, but it tells me it can't find the boot image [23:59] ok i am here [23:59] X3, that's quite a vague question - are you building something in particular? [23:59] Hay all
