[00:00] Jack_Sparrow: so Ubuntu does not love Windows? [00:00] wondering if anyone has some experience with Grub, I'm having a very strange problem, just re-installed a system (due to a dead hard drive), and for some reason I'm getting suck at "GRUB loading, please wait..." with no error messages [00:00] Jack_Sparrow: okay, I'll write that down and look into it :) [00:00] I've tried re-installing grub about 10 times, and even double checking boot order and the bootable flags on the partitions [00:01] Jetts Are you mixing ide and sata drives [00:01] <_xyz> can you run WINE alongside Cedega without problems? [00:01] Lets hope I can get this sorted, be back later, hopefully [00:01] Jack_Sparrow yes, I have 4 sata drives in the box and 1 IDE with the IDE containing my root partition - the sata drives are set up in LVM for data storage [00:01] What could be wrong if I cant satisfy Build-dependencies with apt-get? [00:02] Jetts There is alot of info on how that can cause problems [00:02] Jetts, and the bios is configured to boot from the ide one? [00:02] Seveas: yes, nothing has changed - I was using an IDE drive before without problems [00:02] askand What changes have you made to sources? and what exactly are you trying to install [00:02] Jack_Sparrow, well, if it boots from the ide disk, and / lives there that shouldn't give any problems afaik [00:03] hola [00:03] Jetts, is it hard to disconnect the sata disks for a test? if not, can you try that? [00:03] HEY GUYS I AM DOING A NET INSTALL OF UBUNTU GOT TO THE PART WHERE I SPECIFY A MIRROR SITE AAND I AM KINDA STUCK THERE BAD MIRROR SITE ANY HELP [00:03] Seveas ide and sata often flip ans primary drives on some bios's [00:03] !caps | owner [00:03] owner: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [00:03] owner lose the caps please [00:03] Jack_Sparrow: I am trying to get the source for rhythmbox [00:03] Seveas: I'll take a look, just have to label the cables - will let you know though, thanks [00:04] askand and what changes have you made to sources [00:04] !mirrors | owner [00:04] owner: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [00:04] owner, try: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [00:05] <_xyz> can you run WINE alongside Cedega without problems? [00:05] SORRY THE INSTLALLER IS ASKING FOR THIS WHAT DO I PUT IN THEN [00:05] OK [00:05] owner STOP using CAPS [00:05] sorry [00:06] Hello - I downloaded ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386 and tried to install it but after the initial screen where I select my language and the ubuntu graphic it kicks me to a (initramfs) and I can't seem to make it past... [00:06] Jack_Sparrow: You mean softwaresources? I have added som PPA:s but none that contains rhythmbox [00:06] Seveas okay now I'm getting Error 21: Selected disk does not exist, which makes sense because when I installed grub there were other disks in the system - any suggestions on how I can get the system running with the sata drives plugged in? [00:07] askand Pastebin your sources list. [00:07] hi [00:07] Jetts, plug it all in, boot from a cd, reinstall grub [00:07] !grub [00:07] 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 [00:07] http://tinyurl.com/jha3s [00:07] anyone know how I can make a mkv into a mpeg2 file using only linux programs? [00:07] Cheiron What is that link for [00:07] Seveas how will re-installing grub after I plug it all back in cause a problem, won't I end up with the same freezing problem? [00:07] Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/m749f51a5 [00:08] Jetts, I don't think so [00:09] lwizardl, did you try ffmpeg? [00:09] !grub [00:09] 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 [00:09] http://tinyurl.com/jha3s [00:09] sgodsell, no i have not, I've never used that application before [00:09] Jack_Sparrow, Cheiron is a bot, please exterminate [00:10] that was my thought [00:10] askand That is one ugly source.list [00:10] Jack_Sparrow: Indeed, I was embarressed to post it ;) [00:10] :) [00:10] can anyone help me get a stack trace from Firefox? [00:10] bbl personal business [00:11] So, after doing what you said Jack_Sparrow fdisk shows my drives. However it seems slightly suspicious and I believe you may be right Seveas about broken/missing drivers for it [00:11] Skyrail, what did Jack_Sparrow say? [00:11] F6 during bootup, remove quiet + splash and put all_generic_ide before the -- [00:12] Hi guys! [00:12] It worked but I missed loads of it as it goes fast, does it save a log anywhere of it? [00:12] How can i compile some code for windows inside linux? [00:12] It won't use any windows API [00:12] I just need to create an EXE out of it [00:12] Skyrail, interesting. In that case I'm interested in the output of dmesg now and the output of dmesg after a reboot without doing that. Maybe we can isolate the problem [00:12] !enter | Drk_Guy [00:12] Drk_Guy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:13] Sorry Seveas [00:13] Drk_Guy: MingW/Msys and gcc [00:13] Drk_Guy, and you're looking for mingw. [00:13] hello, i am having trouble with a network interface (eth0) it ha been working, and suddenly disappeared from ifconfig and lshw -C network. Any ideas? [00:13] Flannel, Compiling inside wine? [00:13] XD [00:13] Drk_Guy: no [00:13] Flannel, sudo apt-get install mingw? [00:13] lol [00:13] Hello everyone! [00:13] is there anyone who knows how to get a akm02se keyboard running? [00:14] Drk_Guy: come to #ubuntu-offtopic, and stop using the ente rkey as punctuation [00:15] hey everyone [00:15] Seveas: okay, I've piped it to a file, I'll upload the file and I'll restart and do the same thing :) [00:15] I just installed Famelix on my IBM Thinkpad and would really like some help with it.. does anyone have experience with this distro === \\dan\\_ is now known as \\dan\\ [00:15] what should i look at if an entry in /etc/cron.d doesn't get run? [00:15] Theres a few problems Im having, and have a few general questions.. anyone? [00:16] famelix, this is ubuntu support, not famelix support [00:16] hi [00:16] I'll throw my question out there - My laptop motherboard died, kept the hd, reinstalled ubuntu on new computer, was wondering if there was a easy way to copy over all my settings [00:16] hi, question, can Ubuntu be used to work on an Pentium Four 64 mb ram computer? Hardy Heron ? [00:16] user__: you should use xubuntu [00:17] user__: uses less cpu and memory [00:17] user__, pentium 4 with 64mb? that's a weird configuration... [00:17] this a help room for ubuntu? [00:17] jeimuzu, yes :) [00:17] Seveas okay I plugged it all back in, re-installed grub, and the important part of the menu.lst is root (hd4,0), but now I'm getting the same problem I was before... at least now I know its the sata drives that are messing it up... wonder if I switch to lilo if I'll have the same problem [00:17] aceer, all of your personal settings are in the /home/ directory in the files and directories that begin with a period. Copy those over [00:18] anyone know why my ethernet device would stop working? [00:18] ok thanks [00:18] AlexJP, You need to be a bit more specific. [00:18] k why don't i have themes under prefrences [00:18] nickrud - just copy over the new /home/username dir? would that copy over my firefox settings and all that? [00:18] Jetts, (hd4,0) seems wrong to me, try changing that to (hd0,0) [00:19] jeimuzu: its called "appearance" i think [00:19] Jetts, and yeah, lilo is all in the MBR and doesn't need to load parts of itself from other places on the disk, making it more likely to succees [00:19] jeimuzu, System => Preferences => Appearance [00:19] aceer, yes, along with any data you saved for yourself [00:19] k tghanks [00:20] so you download new themes to that folder? [00:20] nickrud - ok thanks, all the other files and folders are they worth keeping, or are they all just duplicate stuff now [00:20] Ahadiel, well, i have been usig it to connect to my router and set it up for wifi access. yesterday i typed ifconfig, and i only see wlan0 and l0. eth0 has vanished. it is also not listed when i do lshw -C network [00:20] AlexJP, anything about it in dmesg? [00:20] AlexJP, also, ifconfig -a? [00:20] jeimuzu, no, you can simply download them to wherever you want and use the appearance dialog to install them [00:20] you guys know anything about yaho chat? [00:20] aceer, not sure what you mean: if you mean all the stuff that's not in your $HOME , don't worry about them on the original install. [00:21] jeimuzu: download them to ~/.themes/ [00:21] k [00:22] to do an installation of LAMP and Ubuntu 8.04 server with a GUI do I click other options before install? [00:22] Ahadiel, ill check... [00:22] nickrud - sorry, little vague, basically all the info i need would be kept in the home/username directory, what about any other stuff I have installed, is there a easy way to apply all that? [00:22] AlexJP: there has been a kernel update two days ago or so, you may try with the previous kernel (assuming you have updated of course) [00:23] aceer, once you copy all them over from the first disk into your home on the new disk, they apply as soon as the app is started. Say you had firefox closed, copied over the old .mozilla dir, as soon as you open firefox the old settings would be seen [00:24] Ahadiel, can you have a look please? http://pastebin.com/m2d15deb9 [00:25] is there anyone who knows how to get a akm02se keyboard running? [00:25] AlexJP, And eth0 didn't show up in ifconfig -a? [00:25] linduxed, have you tried the forums? [00:25] is there a patch for grub available that ubuntu uses to add the "quiet" command to it? [00:25] nope [00:25] linduxed: Wireless? Bluetooth-type, or usb? [00:25] just l0 and wlan0 [00:26] Bizzeh Edit your grub/menu.lst [00:26] AlexJP, Hrm, as someone mentioned earlier, you may want to try a previous kernel. (From the grub menu) === sean is now known as Guest80460 [00:26] Jack_Sparrow: no, iwant the patch, so i can add it into grub on my LFS [00:26] Bizzeh, yes, if you 'apt-get source grub' it's in grub-0.97/debian/patches/quiet.diff [00:26] Ahadiel, will i have to type a certain command to get a previous kernel? [00:26] hi I just installed a wireless N card in my laptop, but it looks like I'm still using 802.11g when I do iwconfig. is there anyway to force it to use N instead of G? [00:27] trying to run eric4 but it seems it doesn't make the tcp connection to the shell it is started from..... any help? [00:27] AlexJP, When you get to the grub menu, there should be several Ubuntu options. [00:27] Seveas: and, if i dont have an ubuntu install :) ? [00:27] Bizzeh I have never heard of a patch [00:27] Bizzeh, [00:27] yeh like press C for command line, etc.? [00:27] Bizzeh, I thought you just add quiet? [00:27] jpastore, is your access point an N based standard? [00:27] Bizzeh, http://people.ubuntu-nl.org/~dennis/quiet.diff [00:27] jpastore: 802.11n still isn't finalized, and.. last I checked, the few n cards that are even supported in linux are only supported in g mode. That was a few months ago, though; you should keep checking [00:27] hi all! i have a nvidia GForce 6100 that i'm not to fond of. I'm looking for a new graphics card. i don't need any thing special, just compiz and simple games. any suggestions? [00:28] Ahadiel: you do, when you have a patched version of grub from ubuntu, when you have vanilla ubuntu, it doesnt exist [00:28] ty Seveas [00:28] AlexJP, Uhh, The topmost option should be the most recent kernel you have installed. So at the menu just use your arrow keys to go to a lower one. [00:28] wigren: What's wrong with the one you have? [00:28] I assume you mean vanilla grub? :) [00:28] Vanilla ubuntu is debian, yes? [00:28] Ahadiel: No, ubuntu [00:28] Ahadiel: it's based on debian but isn't [00:28] Seveas: any idea how to compare to files (or large text blocks) quickly and easily? And I'm sure dmesg doesn't show all of the messages shown at boot up :/ [00:28] nickrud - last question i hope, the .mozilla dir would be in the home/username dir? [00:29] Bizzeh, please note that this patch is applied after some other patches so it might not apply cleanly on a vanilla grub [00:29] Ahadiel, oh yeah! wondered why there were two all of a sudden! [00:29] brb then [00:29] Skyrail: diff -u file1 file2 [00:29] Ahadiel, thanks! [00:29] Oh nevermind, maybe it does [00:29] Ahadiel: you have no idea what im asking, and Seveas solved my problem [00:29] Baughn, compiz doesn't work on it. or i should say it does, but it makes my sound all distorted. and dvd play back is hit or miss [00:29] aceer, yes [00:29] Seveas: its ok, i was gonna use the patch to manually mod the code anyway [00:29] Bizzeh, How can you just assume that? [00:29] thanks very much for this :D [00:29] what tools might I use to check local tcp connections? [00:29] Baughn: I'll give that a try, thank you, so many commands I never knew about heh [00:29] wigren: That sounds more like a motherboard issue, tbh [00:29] Bizzeh, have fun with it [00:29] wigren: AGP card? [00:29] When you add a new hard drive to a Ubuntu system is it the same as adding a drive to a windows system? Does it automatically detect it and then it just needs to be formatted? [00:29] threeseas, netstat, tcpdump, iptraf, bwm [00:30] Ahadiel: because of what you have said.. it relates in no way to what im trying to do and what Seveas has helped me do [00:30] tlks [00:30] threeseas, depends on what information you want :) [00:30] thanks [00:30] Seveas no dice with lilo - it hangs as well if I have the sata drives plugged in [00:30] Bizzeh, I only said one thing to you [00:30] sysop1972: yep [00:30] Jettis, What is the problem you are having? [00:30] Jetts, with grub, edit menu.lst to use (hd0,0) [00:30] Bizzeh, And that was to try adding quiet. [00:30] wigren: (Sounds like it isn't allocating sufficient PCI bandwidth to the sound card, or dvd.. er, that takes a bit, but I doubt it's the card, at least not by itself [00:30] Seveas going to switch back to grub and try changing the menu.lst like you suggested [00:30] Baughn, to be honest i'm not sure. how can i tell with out taking it apart. i bought it in 2005. [00:31] nickrud - thanks alot [00:31] Jordan_U I have a mix of IDE and sata drives, specifically 1 IDE (primary boot drive) and 4 sata drives (for storage), if I unplug the sata drives life is dandy to boot up, if I plug them in both lilo and grub freeze without any error messages [00:31] wigren: Run lspci, see how many different numbers there are on the very first column [00:32] Baughn, 00:00.0? [00:32] wigren: No, just 00: === Exteris is now known as Exteris^ [00:32] wigren: It goes bus:device.subdevice === Exteris^ is now known as Exteris [00:32] Jettis, Is there any output from either? [00:32] wigren: You presumably have more than one pci device, but I'd like to know how many busses there are [00:32] wigren: If it's /all/ 00, that means they're all on the same pci bus, and you've got a /pci/ gfx card - that would definitely be a problem. If everything but the card is 00: and the card is 01:, that means it's agp, pretty much. If there are lots of them, pci express.. or some more unusual pci setups, but those are mostly in laptops [00:32] Jordan_U nope, just stuck at Loading Grub, Please wait... (can't remember the exact message) [00:33] Baughn: Seveas: its a usb based wireless RF-connection mouse+keyboard combo that is totally dead when used under linux [00:33] Saveas: I'm trying to see the local connection between eric4 IDe and the shell/terminal from which it was started from and perhaps get it going it not [00:33] Jordan_U, basically: grub looks for its rootdevice in the wrong place :) [00:33] Baughn: Seveas: or so it seems [00:33] Baughn, the last on e is 04 [00:33] Oh man, wish I understood this diff file haha [00:33] linduxed: Do other usb-based mice/keyboards work? [00:33] kyncani: The system I am making is a file server wo there are shared folders. What I am wondering is how it will work when more storage is needed and I add a drive. Will I need to create new shares on that drive or does it somehow add the new drive space to the old shares? [00:33] I'm having problems with occasionaly i cannot remotely connect to my ubuntu server after a restart. This has happened intermitantly since I added my taps and bridge for VitualBox. This is my interfaces file: http://pastebin.com/m40e0464c , are there any ovbious problems with it? I have onephysical nic and want to have two bridged virtual ones. [00:33] wigren: Ah hmm. Can you type lspci -vv and paste the output somewhere? [00:33] linduxed, does it work in windows *without* additional drivers? [00:33] Baughn: well yeah ive got a razer plugged in now [00:34] Doh, i broke the paste rule. Edit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28367/ [00:34] Seveas: have not tried that yet, but the shit says PnP [00:34] linduxed: Then if we assume HID is working, the obvious conclusion is that your mouse is broken and doesn't support HID properly. Not good. [00:34] linduxed: Does it require drivers to work in windows? [00:34] linduxed, can you plug it in now and see what dmesg reports about it? [00:35] Baughn: dont know yet havent tried it there [00:35] linduxed: Does it /come/ with drivers? A CD? [00:35] sysop1972: you may take a look at lvm. Wikipedia and google are your friends. [00:35] Baughn: yupp a cd [00:35] Baughn, (probably for keys with extra functions) [00:35] linduxed: Too bad. If it didn't, that wouldn't be it. [00:35] Seveas: ive plugged it in now [00:35] Seveas you're gonna love this, changed menu.lst to hd0,0 and still same behavior [00:35] Seveas: *nod* [00:35] linduxed: Can you paste the last few lines of dmesg output, then? [00:35] Jetts, well sh!t :) [00:36] i'm having trouble understanding what the numbers here mean (related to the diff command) http://pastie.org/236855 [00:36] Ahadiel, nah still not got it man [00:36] Jetts: Can you check if you happen to have a menu.lst /and/ a grub.conf? [00:36] Seveas ya, if it was something relatively simple, I probably would've gotten it by now ;) [00:36] Baughn sure, give me a minute to boot into rescue mode again, but I'm fairly certain I just have a menu.lst [00:36] Jetts, I'm running out of clues... are there things in the bios that allow you to change bios order? Or can you try installing with sata unplugged and booting with sata plugged in? [00:37] Baughn: is this ok? http://www.mediafire.com/?ngtqkj1nmz0 [00:37] Baughn, where do I check? [00:37] sysop1972: without lvm, either 1) you will need to create a new share or 2) you can mount the drive in a directory within your share, so that that specific directory will be hosted on a new drive. [00:37] AlexJP, Hrm, that's trange. What ethernet card do you have? [00:37] when i try to move a 4.3gb file to my external hdd it says no more space but my hdd is 20gb and empty [00:37] vices: They're meant for patch input; you don't want to try reading them [00:37] RoAkSoAx, yes I have a linksys wrt110 N router [00:37] vices: diff -u will give nicer output, though. Decimal, at least. [00:37] vices: diff -u -c 3, nicer yet [00:37] Baughn: http://pastebin.com/m25561962 [00:37] strange* [00:37] Seveas I think part of the problem is I'm using PCI - Sata cards to load in two extra sata drives, because my bios is set to boot hd-0 first and sata drives second [00:37] Baughn: ohh, ok, I wanted to try inputting the lines myself by hand [00:37] My biggest problem is that azureus or any large file transfers causes my wireless to hang and I have to reconnect to the wireless network...some times restart [00:37] it's very frustrating [00:37] wigren: That's silly. Use a pastebin - rafb.net, maybe [00:38] Seveas: http://pastebin.com/m25561962 [00:38] Baughn: so those aren't line numbers or anything? [00:38] with a g router I'm ok though [00:38] Jetts, then the trick with installing grub with sata unplugged might actually work [00:38] vices: They are. Or something. [00:38] Could someone using bridged networking with more than one virtualbox please pastebin their interfaces file? [00:38] vices: diff -u -c 3 really is nicer. Use that. ;) [00:38] Baughn alright, thanks :) [00:38] when i try to move a 4.3gb file to my external hdd it says no more space but my hdd is 20gb and empty [00:38] Seveas okay I'll give that a whirl - at this point, just booting would make me happy [00:38] are there any good lists or sites for things to do after a fresh install of ubuntu [00:38] linduxed: Well, according to this output it's working [00:39] Baughn: http://rafb.net/p/sbEheq35.html [00:39] linduxed: Are you /sure/ your mouse isn't working? If you cat /dev/input/mice and move the mouse, does it have no effect on output? [00:39] Baughn: well yeah and lsusb lists it too [00:39] Ahadiel, its a netgear fa31 [00:39] linduxed, did you do weird things to your xorg.conf? [00:39] Ahadiel, fa311***** [00:39] wigren: Ah heh. PCI Express. [00:39] linduxed, does the keybosrd work in rescue mode? [00:39] Seveas: um yeah im pretty sure [00:39] AlexJP, Did you have to download any special drivers for it, or did it just work out of the box? [00:40] jpastore, i don't think you are gonna be able to get it working on N standard [00:40] wigren: I don't know what may be causing the problems, then. I /guess/ going into your bios and resetting to "safe" setting might do something; you should try that [00:40] Ahadiel, just intalled linux and it was there [00:40] Ahadiel, installed* [00:40] wigren: But as for a replacement.. well, try to borrow one to make sure it isn't your mobo first [00:40] notwist, ? [00:40] Baughn: alright will do. thanks [00:40] RoAkSoAx, ok that kinda sucks...any ideas why my wireless would just stop working on large file transfers? [00:41] wigren: Beyond that, ATI cards should be getting good support.. er, sometime next year, maybe. Old ones already work well with the open-source driver, but then we're talking 9800 or so. [00:41] Which I doubt you'll find in pci-express form [00:41] jpastore, try blacklisting ipv6 [00:41] For some reason, sound plays out of my computer (and speakers, but sometimes only from my computer). I tried muting everything in alsamixer, with no success. How do I disable my built in speakers? [00:41] Seveas: Baughn: ok i just fired up the mouse now (as this is a mouse+keyboard combo, i didnt put batteries into the mouse before as ive got a superior mouse, just wanted the keyboard) [00:41] max_: Cut the speaker wires. No, seriously. [00:41] Seveas: Baughn: and it works [00:41] RoAkSoAx, modify /etc/modules/blacklist right? and jsut add ipv6? [00:41] max_, the pcspeaker beeps or actual sound? [00:41] AlexJP, When was it last working? [00:41] max_: Oh, or google://ubuntu+system+beep [00:42] kyncani: I heard LVM was not very reduntant and if it fails you will have a hard time recovering the data. [00:42] yesterday [00:42] hello, I am trying to config my bios, should HPET (High Precision Event Timer) be enabled? Does it make a difference? [00:42] aceer: http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2008/04/things-to-do-on-your-new-ubuntu-804.html could be a starting place for that [00:42] Seveas: Baughn: so apparently the connection is ok, but theres something strange with the keyboard [00:42] linduxed: Righto. Then you just have to get X pointed at it. [00:42] linduxed, maybe the batteries in the keyboard are empty/connected the wrong way around? [00:42] glitsj16 thanks! [00:42] Ahadiel, or maybe the day before, cant remember. it was definitely working on wednesday anyway [00:42] linduxed: I imagine the "strange" thing is that you have two keyboards connected, and linux doesn't know which to use [00:42] Though sure, check for batteries [00:42] sysop1972: lvm is not redundancy, as is a single standard drive. You should keep making backup. [00:42] Seveas: nope, its got an inbuilt calculator and its on [00:43] Baughn, linux can deal with multiple keyboards just fine [00:43] aceer: no problem, enjoy the ubuntu :) [00:43] I regularly have 3 connected :) [00:43] Sound still comes from my computer. [00:43] Seveas: Depends on X setup though, doesn't it? [00:43] love it! [00:43] Baughn: well this is a laptop.... [00:43] linduxed: Doesn't mean you can't rip out the old one [00:43] linduxed, drat. Maybe not synced with the basestation? There's usually a sync button on both base and keyboard [00:43] linduxed: No, as Seveas says, it /should/ work fine. Might just need a little extra setup. [00:43] Baughn, default X [00:43] Ahadiel, any clue? [00:44] AlexJP, That's strange. Maybe the card somehow came loose or it just died. -_- [00:44] i just downloaded corkys screenlet , how do i make it stick to the desktop instead of all my applications going under it? [00:44] Baughn: Seveas: just pressed the reset button on the keyboard, no effect [00:44] the card is in because the light on it is on [00:44] kyncani: I does access multiple drives as a single drive though, correct? Kind of like a striped raid? So if one drive fails you are in big trouble? [00:44] Ahadiel, yeah the card light is on, and ethernet connection indicator on router is on too [00:44] jpastore, in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist add: blacklist ipv6 and then reboot and verify if it has been blacklisted [00:45] linduxed, hit and see if it works there. TO get back to the gui, hit [00:45] ..why would you want to disable ipv6? [00:45] sysop1972: yeah, but what if you don't use lvm and one drive fails ? [00:45] AlexJP, Hrm, well the card itself could be defective. How long have you had it for? (And just to clarify, it doesn't show up in ifconfig -a?) [00:45] Seveas: nope it didnt work there [00:45] Baughn, some nasty providers have such a crappy setup that your connection slows down a lot if you enable it [00:46] Ahadiel, ive had it a few weeks [00:46] Ahadiel, it works fine in windoze [00:46] linduxed, ok, so it's not an X problem [00:46] can anyone help i just downloaded corkys screenlet (i allredy have the editing file in my home folder) , how do i make it stick to the desktop instead of all my applications going under it? [00:46] Ahadiel, just not in linux [00:46] Seveas: Also known as "old routers that handle ipv6 in software.. on 30MHz processors" [00:46] But yeah, I guess [00:46] kyncani: it is quite a bit easier to recover because reconstucting data that is spread over multiple drives is not fun. [00:46] That only happens if you also /use/ it, though [00:46] AlexJP, Oh -_- Well that's not good. [00:46] need help with installer [00:46] AlexJP: Does it show up in lspci? [00:47] Baughn, or dns fuckups, though that can be remedied with a firefox tweak (the primary victim of that) [00:47] owner, What problem are you having? [00:47] I am stuck in the menu [00:47] chose a mirror site [00:47] Seveas: Me, I don't /have/ an ipv4 address. Pity me. [00:47] Seveas: Baughn: ok so status is: RF-link works fine with mouse, but not with keyb. keyb doesnt work in neither X nor in shell, it has been reset a couple of times [00:47] owner: choose one close to you [00:47] owner, choose this: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [00:47] Well, unless "10.14.3.171" is supposed to count [00:47] Baughn, you still have 127.0.0.1 :) [00:48] sysop1972: afaik, it's not any easier. In fact, it's the same. [00:48] i have it just comes back whit the same [00:48] chose a mirror [00:48] Seveas I'm ready to throw this computer across the room - I just installed grub on the ide drive with only that drive in, and it boots fine, as soon as I plug in even one sata drive the system hangs on "GRUB loading, please wait..." [00:48] owner, Are you using the alternate install CD? [00:48] Jetts, stop using the IDE drive? :) [00:48] <__yy> Hi all, I installed flashplugin-nonfree in an attempt to make flash use less cpu. Now I get no sound with flash with or without flashplugin-nonfree installed. What have I done????? [00:48] no not in lspci [00:48] i am doing a networkinstall [00:49] __yy, you broke it :) [00:49] Jettis, Are you sure it's not a hardware problem? [00:49] __yy there are some issues with flashplayer 9 [00:49] Seveas if only it were that simple, my 4 sata drives are each raid-1 with lvm on top of the raid... and I'm out of sata ports [00:49] __yy: The nonfree plugin does /not/ use less cpu, either [00:49] have the menu eveythinglooks good [00:49] Jordan_U far as I'm aware everything was working fine up until my IDE drive died [00:49] Quite the opposite [00:49] <__yy> Seveas: obviously, I'm really looking for what part of it I broke. [00:49] dhcp running ok [00:49] --yy try the beta version of flash player 10 [00:49] AlexJP, I'm not sure what else to tell you. Maybe try posting on the forum about it to see if anyone else is having the problem. [00:49] <__yy> AlexJP: I will try that [00:49] Ahadiel, ok thanks mate [00:50] according to the installer at least [00:50] <__yy> Baughn: yes, I've noticed that [00:50] --yy ive heard its worked for some poeple [00:50] now i am stuck here [00:50] __yy: Oh, but you might try dpkg --purge flashplugin-nonfree [00:50] owner, I've given you an answer 3 times now. Have you even tried it? [00:50] <__yy> AlexJP: I assume the beta flash player is not in the repos? [00:50] i know bro tried it didnt do anything still came back with the same [00:51] menu [00:51] /leave [00:51] __yy you can get it from macromedia website [00:51] __yy or bobertdos may know the url [00:52] owner, the menu that says 'pick a mirror' or the one that has a list of instaler steps? if it's the latter, just go for the next step [00:52] <__yy> AlexJP: ok, just making sure there isn't a package before I go installing manually [00:52] __yy i dont think so [00:53] __yy dont forget to uninstall all other flash first [00:53] Hi all!!! [00:53] God damn lots of people in here [00:53] BrandonS, about 500 below our record right now [00:53] so it's not too bad yet :) [00:53] lol [00:54] Well Hi I'm Brandon I'm 17 and I'm from California [00:54] Seveas interesting - just reset my bios settings to default and apparently I'm getting an Error 21 now - I'm going to try re-installing grub with everything plugged in [00:54] And I just wanted to say I discovered Ubuntu a year ago and thought it was great [00:54] plzzz help , i need a screenlet to stay under everything instead of always on top (the screenlet is corkys) and i dont know what to put in the file to command it to do that [00:54] But I can't use it because Microsoft Flight Simulator won't work with it [00:54] so, I was wanting to switch somebody to ubuntu, (nub) but I'm having difficulty getting wmv support that is embedded in web pages. Is there anything that I can use? [00:55] But! I'm bored with Flight Simulator and want to go back to ubuntu! But I need a good linux tutorial [00:55] lol of course MS Flight Sim does not work :) [00:55] td123, w32codecs (http://www.medibuntu.org) and ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:55] Seveas: well there were definitely a large number of changes, it's a matter of going through them and knowing what to look for I guess? [00:55] BrandonS, linuxlinks.com is a good place to start. :) [00:55] it list the steps and its on the mirror step right now [00:55] BrandonS, http://help.ubuntu.com should get you started :) [00:55] Seveas: Baughn: ok so status is: RF-link works fine with mouse, but not with keyb. keyb doesnt work in neither X nor in shell, it has been reset a couple of times [00:56] thank you very much sirs [00:56] Seveas: I think I have tried those, but they don't actually let me pause the vids while on the webpage. [00:56] Or mams [00:56] owner, what happens if you simply pock the next step? [00:56] td123, install mozilla-mplayer and get rid of totem-mozilla [00:56] td123, ive seen that a lot depends on the specific web page. Some sites just do things oddly at times. [00:56] next is dloadd instalaer components [00:56] then execute a shell [00:57] td123, i second Seveas in the 'use mozilla-mplayer' idea also. :) [00:57] BrandonS, and if you want to play a flightsim, try flightgear. It's nowhere near MS flightsim but at least it flies :) [00:57] then abort install [00:57] how do i set up an ftp server? [00:57] <_xyz> help: unable to get sound in WINE apps with ALSA (Creative SB X-Fi card) [00:57] !ftp | harpreet [00:57] harpreet: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [00:57] !ftpd | harpreet [00:57] harpreet: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [00:57] oops :) [00:57] :) [00:57] (16:56:59) (Seveas) BrandonS, and if you want to play a flightsim, try flightgear. It's nowhere near MS flightsim but at least it flies :) [00:57] Nah I'm bored with Flight Sim [00:57] thats it [00:58] besides old versions of MS flight sim are working with this commercial wine [00:58] BrandonS, ok, then try xmoto :) [00:58] Seveas, you there [00:58] What's that? Seveas? [00:58] BrandonS, motor stunt game [00:58] Hello, I have 2 problems if anyone can help. Ok, can a ubuntu laptop pick up a Windows AD HOC network, and, how can i make a updaye from 7.04 to 8.04 faster? [00:59] but work does not mean it runs really, so it is really buggy etc [00:59] Well I recently bought a new computer to handle fs but I got bored with it fast :P [00:59] super-6-1, (q1) it can (q2) get a faster network connection :) [00:59] os: Windows XP Professional, SP2 (installed on July 2 2008) :: uptime: 9h 53m 21s [00:59] os: Windows XP Professional, SP2 :: cpu: Intel Core2 Duo E6850 3.00GHz (at 2992 MHz) :: mem: 935/2048 MB (45%) :: gfx: nVidia GeForce 8800 GT (1280x1024x32bit 60Hz) [00:59] BrandonS, don't do that in here please [00:59] Oh I'm sorry [01:00] super-6-1: (q2) just download the ubuntu 8.04.1 cd and use that instead of the upgrade [01:00] BrandonS how did u do that [01:00] td123 my laptop wont go above 800x600 res and when im on 7.04 it can [01:00] It's built in to my MIRC Client AlexJP [01:01] For Windows :P [01:01] AlexJP, there are similar scripts for xchat and irssi. But we don't tolerate such scripts in here [01:01] Seveas: are there any things i have not tried that i may try? [01:01] linduxed, none that come to mind, not knowing the hardware. [01:02] Well, here a better question. Can i add resolutions to ubuntu 8.04 [01:03] super-6-1, Yes, most likely your problem with not having the correct resolution is a driver issue though [01:03] Im curious as to why this program (E16) wants to remove ubuntu-desktop. problem is this, its supposed to be a dummy/virtual file and it would be safe to remove, so when I tried it said it was going to remove 142MB os stuff... hence NOT a dummy file. [01:03] Blaqlight: is that all it said it was going to remove? [01:03] Blaqlight, Are you using aptitude or apt-get ? [01:03] Blaqlight, are you installing use aptitude? [01:04] Ive seen aptitude do some...odd things. [01:04] Im using aptitude. [01:04] Jordan_U, I have a intell [01:04] not apt-get [01:04] Blaqlight, Use apt-get [01:04] like remove 200+mb of things.. then reinstalled them [01:04] Blaqlight: Package foo pulls in bar, remove foo and it will try to remove bar, even if bar doesn't depend on foo, simply to avoid cluttering your system with unused packages you didn't explicitly ask for [01:04] well Im on dial-up so 145MB of stuff would make my system unusable. [01:04] Here ubuntu-desktop is "foo" and 142MB of stuff falls under "bar" [01:05] super-6-1, Can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [01:05] Seveas: Baughn: ok im sorry for the trouble i made a morons mistake [01:05] Seveas: [01:05] Blaqlight: try doing it with apt-get and see if it still wants to remove all that... my guess is "no" [01:05] linduxed, heh [01:05] Jordan_U, im not on ubuntu, havn't installed it yet. [01:05] Hi. I am duel booting my mac osx box with ubuntu using EFI is there a way to boot this partition using vmware ? [01:05] linduxed: ..what'd you do? [01:05] or vmfusion on the mac so I dont have to reboot all the time [01:06] super-6-1, So you were just having a problem getting the correct resolution on the LiveCD? [01:06] What is the best program for making an exact duplicate of a disc, with a dual burner setup? [01:06] CyberCod, this is what it still says. : The following packages will be REMOVED: [01:06] pulseaudio-esound-compat ubuntu-desktop [01:06] Shane_: chances are it will depend on your vm client... if you can mount a real partition into the vm, then yeah, you can probably make it work [01:07] i got kicked... what was that? [01:07] apt-get and aptitude does the same thing. [01:07] Jordan_U, no, I have installed it before, i could never get it above the 800x600 res, [01:07] Blaqlight: but it doesn't say that it's going to remove all the dependant packages, no? [01:07] super-6-1, What version of Ubuntu ? [01:07] Blaqlight: does it say it will free up all that space? [01:07] Blaqlight: right. Those are packages that depend on it, not that it depends on. [01:07] Jordan_U, 8.04 [01:07] Jordan_U, 7.04 works perfectly [01:08] Seveas: Baughn: not only did one have to press the keyboards reset button....apparently one needed to press a setup button on the reciever too to get the keyb working (in contrast to the mouse which ran automatically)....I guess it all boiled down to some good old RTFM as i found the solution in the manual [01:08] Seveas, how would i do it in xchat? [01:08] Blaqlight: if you use synaptic it will make more sense to you [01:08] Seveas, i wont do it in here [01:08] Seveas: Baughn: i feel pwnd.... [01:08] I have 00:02.0 and 00:02.1 when running lspci, first one is VGA compatible controller, second one is Display controller. I have a laptop, so I am wondering if one of the two is the screen and the other the VGA outlet, can it be ? [01:08] * Blaqlight crosses fingers and hits enter at the (y/n) prompt [01:08] anyone use screen here? [01:08] Shane: have you seen http://laurentbois.com/2008/04/26/install-ubuntu-804-using-vmware-fusion-on-mac-os-x/ ? [01:08] * linduxed hides in a corner.... [01:08] I am back with the same file sharing problem. However, when I try to access from myself it says Unable to mount location, Failed to mount windows share. [01:09] linduxed: ..we told you, in fact. [01:09] Blaqlight: foo depends on bar and bar depends on baz, installing foo installs bar and baz, removing bar removes foo, but not baz. [01:09] linduxed, I even told you to press those buttons :) [01:09] does anyone know of a good "wake-to-music" alarm clock type application that's easy enough for the wife to use? [01:09] CyberCod, actually its the other way around, synaptic is far from "making more sense" frankly. [01:09] linduxed: As punishment, you will cosplay as a maid for the rest of your stay in this channel. [01:09] !rtfm [01:09] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [01:09] Blaqlight: but synaptic will tell you every single package that is going to be removed [01:10] Baughn, he might enjoy that. I suggest watching the sound of music 10 times in a row :) [01:10] Seveas: Cruel and unusual, man. Cruel and unusual. [01:10] Baughn, that's me :) [01:10] Seveas: Baughn: well i pressed the keyb-button frantically, but the reciever button actually looked like a hatch to open the damn thing >:-( [01:10] So as far as I can tell all the files are unmountable [01:11] * linduxed puts on dress... [01:11] Jordan_U, let me install ubuntu ok? [01:11] super-6-1, Odd, perhaps try your 7.04 xorg.conf in 8.10, did you check if 8.04 was using the "intel" driver, if not then changing the driver from "vesa" to "intel" in your xorg.conf should do the trick, like you were asking before, also as you were asking, you can manually specify a resolution in your xorg.conf but that should not be necessary [01:12] super-6-1, OK, I can also just as easily help from the LiveCD so you don't have to commit if you can't get it working [01:12] Jordan_U, alright. give me a hour be back on [01:12] glitsj16: I am trying to open ubuntu from mac osx with out rebooting they are on two sepreate Partitions [01:12] its not a vmdx [01:12] can vmware mount a physical disk? [01:13] super-6-1, OK, I may or may not be here [01:13] zabecki-tech: what problem are you having? [01:13] Jordan_U, okey. [01:13] Shane_ some can [01:13] how do i change permissions of a mounted drive using terminal [01:13] Shane_: i see, can't confirm the physical disk mount sorry [01:13] Shane_: not sure about that one.. [01:14] guys i am stuck in the main menu of this installer what to do it wont let me go on [01:14] d600, it can depend on what filesystem is mounted on the drive. [01:14] Well I am trying to share files from my ubuntu box to a windows network. I can see all there shares and files, They can see my computer in the network and the folders that I have shared, they just can't see the files or access the folders. [01:14] ext3 [01:14] So they end up getting an access denied. That they don't have permission. [01:15] zabecki-tech: ok, so first off, what version you using, and 2nd, how did you go about setting up the share? [01:15] zabecki-tech: What is the exact error message? [01:15] lets say i have lots of files in a folder, and i use ls. since im in screen, most of them get cut-off. how can you scroll up in screen? (CLI) [01:15] saids chose a mirror onf the ubuntu archive and have trid more that 20 of them but it still give me bad mirror chose anather one the give me the same [01:15] I am using hardy 8.04 and i set up the shares using the share options in the right click and shares-admin [01:15] Woo! Just got a shiny new macbook pro - slapping Ubuntu on it as we speak! [01:15] FarmCretin, ls | less [01:15] * Striking7 is stoked [01:16] FarmCretin: Or read the screen manual for log/copy commands.. [01:16] Owner what installer? be more specific [01:16] Exact error is that the user does not have permission to access and to contact the server admin. [01:16] AlexJP: Here's a good thought, you should see if eth0 functions in a live session. [01:16] d600, I normally change the mode/ownership of the files/directories on the ext3 filesystem. Not sure if theres a way to 'override' the permissions for all files/dirs. [01:16] zabecki-tech: ok, have you rebooted since sharing it? [01:17] thanks Ahadiel , i think that will do the trick [01:17] yes [01:17] hello everyone [01:17] hey all, having a strange issue with audio - I always get a delay when a sound is played... the message I get from VLC is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/28369/ and my audio controller is an ATI IXP SB400 AC'97 [01:17] zabecki-tech: ok, what you need to do is set up the share the SAME EXACT WAY only use nauilus in root mode to do it [01:17] I have the new ubunut 8.04 and I'm trying to get the latest svn of brasero installed can anyone help me? [01:17] Ok how do I do that. [01:18] Hi... I use Ubuntu 8.04 default but I also installed KDE and now it overwrote gnome's login screen... how do I change back to gdm and take out kdm? [01:18] Has anyone tried suspending Ubuntu running off a USB pen drive and then resuming? [01:18] My intel mac on ubuntu the mouse keeps going nuts [01:18] zabecki-tech: so unshare it, and then Alt+F2... type gksudo nautilus enter [01:18] brb [01:18] Delano: dpkg -reconfigure gdm [01:18] Anyone? [01:18] sdls, ive heard in in here, that 'feature' dosent work very well. [01:18] freebse: in a terminal? [01:19] Delano: yes [01:19] looks like there are at least 5 thing going on at once in here [01:19] Dr_willis: yeah, I was afraid of that. I just tried it today and it, well, didn't work. [01:19] Haldrie, i would guess more like 50 [01:19] in upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04, the upgrader stalls at "About 4 minutes remaining" and the last console text is "Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8..." [01:19] I tried that, but I don't understand the text [01:19] Delano: ya, another way is to uninstall gdm and reinstall it by synaptic if you are unsure about the dkpg thing [01:19] sdls, i cant even get it to work with internal drives very well.. Even under windows :) [01:19] back [01:19] Dr_willis: k. Suspend is a bit hit or miss unfortunately! [01:20] it seems the console will not roll out new text anymore (it has been staying there for hours) [01:20] how do i rescue this upgrade? [01:20] ok after I do that what do I need to do reboot [01:20] freebse: isn't there a way to just bring up gdm and just set it back to default? [01:20] sdls, yep. My laptops really get confused - reguardless of the os. when i suspend them - take them to work. and plug in a bunch of different hardware. :) [01:20] zabecki-tech: shouldn't [01:21] I am trying to install the lastest SVN of Brasero on Ubuntu 8.04. PM me if you can help. [01:21] try it [01:21] see if you can see the files [01:21] Well I don't see the shares [01:21] refresh [01:21] help! [01:21] yao_ziyuan: whats wrong? [01:22] Delano: ??? I told you to reinstall gdm, this will let you choose again [01:22] Okay thanks [01:22] CyberCod: in upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04, the upgrader stalls at "About 4 minutes remaining" and the last console text is "Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8..." it seems the console will not roll out new text anymore (it has been staying there for hours) how do i rescue this upgrade? [01:22] im bored what is something cool I can mess with? [01:23] yao_ziyuan: At this point.. it would be best if you don't. Install from scratch if you can - you did have a backup of /home, right? [01:23] Candale, try #ubuntu-offtopic [01:23] yao_ziyuan: (If you don't, it's not to late to make one now) [01:23] I tried to refresh still can't see the folders now [01:23] Candale: format and reinstall if you are bored, this will make you busy for a while :) [01:23] yao_ziyuan: I don't know the answer, but I can ask some more questions... how old is this machine? if you look in the system monitor, what is taking up all the processing power? Is there a dropdown triangle? maybe it's waiting for you to answer a question [01:24] freebse: I tried, didn't work [01:24] freebse, funny [01:24] zabecki-tech: ok, when you shared it, did it get a orange shared icon on the folder? [01:24] How can ubunutu write to mac osx partition [01:24] Delano: what did not work [01:24] freebse: I reinstalled gdm in synaptic, didn't work [01:25] Delano: remove kdm [01:25] Baughn: it seems some packages still need setting up. can i close the upgrader and manually run something to continue/redo package setting up? [01:25] yao_ziyuan: Yes. But I can't tell you over irc what, and since you're asking, you won't manage either. :/ [01:26] yao_ziyuan: You can certainly /try/, but it's likely to break things even worse [01:26] this is very annoying. I cannot connect to mediabuntu.org [01:26] dns does not resolve [01:26] I want to make the www folder for apache readable by samba, how do i do that? [01:26] yao_ziyuan: (Of course, at this point, that won'T really hurt you. Have fun.) [01:26] readable and writable [01:26] cappicard, it's medibuntu [01:27] Baughn: man, how could this be... i was upgrading from a fresh 7.10 to 8.04...

[01:28] im having some major issues here [01:28] * genii hands sysop1972 a coffee [01:28] Baughn: as a developer, and a user, and, pretty much anything you can do with computers and/or software.. im saying.. software sucks, but computers in general suck even more [01:28] I want to make /var/www when im a samba user [01:28] freebse: then what? [01:28] Baughn: there is a Power Manager tray icon running which can't normally be closed which i highly suspect caused the endless delay [01:28] Bizzeh: Yeah, well.. abstraction does work. It's a pity we can't seem to use them properly [01:29] Delano: it can not be bustet, the worst that can happen is that X does not start automatically anymore [01:29] lenswipe: Make the samba username into the group of the web server [01:29] lenswipe: Add it to the group rather [01:29] Baughn: the whole design of how computers work is flawed and unscalable, it takes hack on hack on hack, to make a computer actualy turn on [01:29] Delano: then it will start gdm [01:29] I'm going to play with suspend for a bit, see if I can get it working on the usb drive.

[01:30] Alright now Ive got a problem, I knew I would totally fubar my gnome install by doing that... and although I listened to everyone, its now completely screwed. [01:30] just jking with u [01:30] Bizzeh: But hey, EFI's not too bad [01:30] Gnome will not load at all. so how do I fix esound to work or gnome. [01:31] PiTT, It might be better to say your problem as clearly as you can, as in what are your major problems. [01:31] Baughn: with the exception of bespoke hardware computers, which even excludes super computers like deap blue... computers require to much effort to do something on... even a simple boot loader and kernel takes some of the most horrible hacks in the world, to just run, and load [01:31] bobbob1016: i have 2 dislpays, one is a CRT, the other is a LCD Tv, trying to get them to work together and get desktop effects working === lifi is now known as _lifi [01:32] efi is worse, drivers stored in firmware?

[01:34] ditches the traditional methods of computing all together :) [01:34] PiTT, That isn't specific. What is failing? Does it work without desktop effects? How are they connected, VGA or DVI? Are you using crossfire? I don't know about nvidia cards, I have a personal grudge against them since one burned out on me, same model burned out on two friends, and I missed out of months of Earth and Beyond, but someone else here or in #compiz should be able to help you. [01:34] im off now too [01:34] need sleep [01:34] d3vlabs: install unrar [01:34] i have a sony vgn-sz110 and cannot get my built in camera to work. any ideas? [01:34] Anyone know how to get clone mode to work with ATI drivers? [01:35] how can i see what process is using buffer and cache in memory? [01:35] nikin: Those areas aren't associated with particular processes [01:35] Can someone recommend a program that will rip a cd to mp3? [01:36] purpzey: cdparanoia [01:36] what do you guys use for font hinting? [01:36] + lame [01:36] Hello, hopefully I can ask this sort of a question in here. I am looking for a screen recording software. I used to use Fraps on a Windows based machine, but can't seem to find any for Linux. Any help will be appreciated. [01:36] Baughn: i see but something is filling my RAM .. and i want to know what it is [01:36] Baughn: Will lame encode from OGG to MP3? [01:37] norbi, I think "recordmydesktop" is in the repos. [01:37] nikin: Um, yeah. Cache. This is a /good/ thing. [01:37] nikin: Memory that's marked as "free" might as well be marked as "burning power with no benefit to you" [01:37] !info recordmydesktop [01:37] recordmydesktop (source: recordmydesktop): Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session.

Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [01:37] Firefox crashed a little while ago. I restarted irefox, restored sessions, firefox started doing *something* that swamped my router and crashed it, then firefox dies. The default ubuntu firefox. [01:37] Baughn: i started system monitor and killed a single process responsible for setting up new locales and the upgrader now continues. [01:37] Baughn: i see but there is no reason for such an amount of uffers and cache the servers load is technicaly zero [01:38] nikin: Exactly [01:38] so then does anyone know how to fix gnome so that it will load or where to go to find out why it won't load? [01:38] nikin: Cache is what linux used memory for if it can't figure out something better to do with it [01:38] hey, im new to ubuntu, and i was wondering if anyone ad any software theyd like to suggest to me [01:38] Ahadiel, Flannel: Thanks for that, I am specifically looking for a tool that will record a specific window, as opposed to the whole desktop. Any way I can narrow down my search within those apps that were suggested? [01:39] Baughn: and the upgrader reported a message (which does not prevent it from continuing): The upgrade will continue but the 'locales' package may be in a not working state. Please consider submitting a bugreport about it. [01:39] nikin: And it /will/ fill all of memory if you let things run long enough. This is /good/. It means any disk reads that have happened before will be memory reads instead. [01:39] Baughn: i understand but what is in that cache? [01:39] nikin: Stuff linux read from disk earlier [01:39] norbi: I'm not familiar with those apps personally. I'd check the wiki page, some might do just that (specific windows only) and that page may mention it [01:40] Baughn: now the question is how do i manually install/setup the "locales" package? [01:40] Baughn: if i understand you right linux uses all free memory for disk cache? [01:40] nikin: Yes [01:40] Flannel: Thanks a lot, I will look into it. Gave me a start anyways :) [01:40] Baughn: is there a way to flush that? [01:40] nikin: Why would you want to? [01:41] Baughn: to see how much memory i get freed [01:41] i just had an odd experience [01:41] nikin: Um. Just count the "cache" tag in free as free memory. [01:41] nikin: Cache /is/ free memory, effectively. It can be dropped on the floor in a heartbeat, since the same data is on disk it can just be read back in at need. [01:42] nikin: Oh, and incidentally, any programs that still have an existence on disk run from cache. Remove the cache, and they'd have to read the executable back in. [01:42] Well, the parts that aren'T dynamically linked anyhow [01:42] my ubuntu box seemed alive, or rather the kernel was, but I could not log into a text console. It just hung. the X session, more or less was alive. i once got a terminal, but it locked up after i tried to look in /var/log. i shut down using sysrq-s/u/b and rebooted. it seems a little slow to boot, but otherwise it's okay. no sign in the logs. [01:42] Baughn: i understand that :) [01:43] but the full os with everything is around 700 MB including all data for now.. and i have 900 MB of memory used [01:43] nikin: How do you figure 700mb? [01:43] Flannel df -h [01:44] nikin: I doubt all of that 900MB is for cache [01:44] nikin: Run free. See what is what. [01:44] strix: i would run a terminal with tail -f /var/log/syslog going for awhile and see if anything weird happens again [01:44] good idea [01:44] is upgrading locales a critical step in upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04? this step was not successful and i killed it. how do i redo it manually? [01:44] gnea [01:44] 65 MB used 100-150 MB Buffer the rest is Cache [01:45] Gnea: what's the difference between syslog and messages? [01:45] yao_ziyuan: dpkg-reconfigure lcoales [01:45] ('scuse the numpty question) [01:45] *locales [01:45] Baughn: nice!

Sometimes applications open larger than the screen. Does anyone know any secret keyboard shortcuts or something for moving a window if you don't have access to menu bar or borders?

Thanks! [01:52] np [01:53] what was the command to be able to listen to mp3s? [01:54] CostaRicanQuaker: what kind of player are you using? [01:54] Is there someway to adjust the bootmanager, as I got a whole list of different ubuntu versions to boot now due to updates?

For example, my software RAID drives will change from sdb and sdc to sda and sdb and my root drive will change to sdc and then back again at the next kernel update. [01:54] why is this? [01:54] amarok is great [01:54] DeFirence Nope, you just need to wit for the right people to show up in those rooms [01:54] CostaRicanQuaker: type that in then [01:55] even handles the ipod well [01:55] Jack_Sparrow, i have - for weeks [01:55] JDStone Sounds like you are mixing ide and sata drives [01:55] td123: type in what? [01:55] it says it wont play mp3s [01:55] DeFirence It simply is not a popular subject in here either [01:55] Any recommendations on which IPOD program to use with Ubuntu? [01:55] Jack_Sparrow, one night someone helped me for hours but we just cant figure out why its not working [01:55] CostaRicanQuaker: oh, you need the codecs then [01:55] DeFirence: what routing script? [01:55] ive noticed :/ [01:55] yes [01:55] gmachine24: amarok [01:56] Sorry... any recommendations for a PODCAST program to use with Ubuntu [01:56] Jack_Sparrow: yep, that's right [01:56] CostaRicanQuaker: search for mp3 codec in the add/remove or synaptic and install, and enjoy :D [01:56] so azureus keeps knocking off my wifi...I've replaced my router, I've replaced my network card...I've blacklisted ipv6...any ideas why I would lose my wireless connection? it's also impacted by large file transfers [01:56] douye: if you uninstall some of the older kernels the grub menu will be auto-adjusted [01:56] DeFirence: and see me in #netfilter [01:56] Jack_Sparrow: but I've never had this issue until I updated to 8.04 [01:56] chubs: thanks. I have amarok. does it do podcasts?

[01:56] no problem [01:56] CostaRicanQuaker: you mean search for the mp3 codec? [01:56] alright, thanks, will do [01:56] :) [01:57] hmm, Jack_Sparrow any ideas on what I would search for [01:57] have a good evening all [01:57] td123: yes and install it [01:57] JDStone One sec... [01:57] glitsj16: are those the header files and all ?

[02:15] arvind_khadri: None of them worked [02:16] yes...? or not? i just want to be able to play mp3s i'm on hardy and i can't play them for some reason [02:16] flannel its the most bloat worthy way :) [02:16] glitsj16: due to having a acer laptop it has a "back up" part on the drive which it sees, and there was another option windows xp i thought.. which i dont have installed xD [02:16] Corkster: Heh [02:16] schasi, there is no need to follow that thread....just install apmd and you can do it [02:16] is ubuntu studio a completely different distro or a different desktipo envrrionment and once it starts downloading [02:16] how do i stop it [02:16] CostaRicanQuaker: Thats a horrible reason to install Ubuntu Studio (nothing wrong with studio though) [02:16] .. [02:17] hello all [02:17] Flannel: how do i stop it from downloading/installing, and how do i make ubuntu able to play mp3s? [02:17] CostaRicanQuaker: Studio is sort of similar to the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu [02:17] douye: i see .. i guess you can live with the acer one, if you don't have xp any longer you can always manually comment that out [02:17] schasi, sudo apt-get install apmd [02:17] CostaRicanQuaker: Is it just downloading? then yeah, you can stop it. If its starting to install, its best not to [02:17] glitsj16: guess i just gotta try out what it boots into, is it btw possible to change the order the options are in? [02:18] I like Sound Juice. Does It rip mp3s? [02:18] rafaelscj: with LAME installed, yes [02:18] Flannel: how do i stop it¿? and before i do that, does that mean that after it's installed i can choose if i want to be on it, just the same way i choose if i want to be on xfce or kde or gnome at the begining of a session? [02:18] hello, i cant find my driver for my ati radeon x1200, abyone can tell me what to do please?? [02:18] douye: yes you can change the order, look inside the /boot/grub/menu.lst, there's some comments on how that works [02:18] CostaRicanQuaker: ctrl-c will stop (do only if downloading packages) [02:18] sorry for the repeat msg but I lost network again...so azureus keeps knocking off my wifi...I've replaced my router, I've replaced my network card...I've blacklisted ipv6...any ideas why I would lose my wireless connection? it's also impacted by large file transfers [02:19] CostaRicanQuaker: yeah, it'll be another choice to log in with [02:19] mneptok, thanks [02:19] douye: What do you want to change?

[02:20] !mp3 [02:20] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:20] arvind_khadri: http://pastebin.com/m5af036a0 [02:20] hello [02:20] douye: there's "default num" to choose what you want grub to boot by default, and you can manually shift the other blocks around in the order you want .. just make sure the whole block stays intact though [02:20] hello [02:20] flannel: well atm i got vista on like the 6th option and the right linux as 1st option, but would be easier to have them as option 1 and 2 :P [02:20] arvind_khadri: both suspend and hibernate [02:20] CostaRicanQuaker: then you've done something wrong [02:20] i have an odd little prob...it more annoying than anything....c i lose my sound when i try 2 download something from bittorrent i lose my sound until its done & closed out....this has only just started happening recently [02:20] Im gonna hibernate my laptop now and go to bed. gnight and thanks [02:21] douye: just move them around in the grub config file [02:21] schasi, oh ok...there is a package known as apmd too which would have saved you the hassles of scripting [02:21] douye Just move them around in the menu.lst gksudo gesit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:21] douye: You can move vista up to before the ## begin automagic debian line, and that'll work. You'll probably want to change your default to 1 intsead of 0 then (or have vista as default) [02:21] IndyGunFreak: then how do i do it right? i don't like using adept, can someone give me jst the command to paste it on the shell.. to get the mp3 plugins that is [02:21] douye Just move them around in the menu.lst gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:21] CostaRicanQuaker: have you added the medibuntu repository? [02:22] schasi, anyways good night [02:22] IndyGunFreak: not that i know of, or how to [02:23] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:23] /msg ubottu etiquette [02:23] what is the time in your day [02:23] !medibuntu | CostaRicanQuaker just follow the instructions to add the medibuntu repo(and the gpg key so you dn't get errors), you can just copy/paste the commands... then run sudo apt-get install w32codecs [02:23] CostaRicanQuaker just follow the instructions to add the medibuntu repo(and the gpg key so you dn't get errors), you can just copy/paste the commands... then run sudo apt-get install w32codecs: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:23] can someone please help me with a wirelelss question , after about 40 minutes to an hour my wireless card suddenly dies and i have to reboot to get it working again [02:23] Corkster: In the future, try not to be so disruptive with solutions you give. "install emacs" is not a good answer to "how do I get gedit to do X" [02:23] That'll get you MP3, Flash, Java, etc. [02:23] flannel: where do i have to change that default number? [02:23] /msg ubottu etiquette [02:23] btw i still run gutsy [02:23] douye: There's a "default " line near the top of the file [02:23] SeveredCross: thanks [02:23] CostaRicanQuaker: You're welcome. :) [02:23] * IndyGunFreak likes medibuntu bccause it also has googleearth [02:23] flannel: ah found, but uhm 0 stands for the first OS in the list ? [02:23] it didn't use 2 do that either [02:23] mgracy: You don't need the extra space. [02:23] mgracy, no blank [02:23] douye: yeah [02:24] I've got an Ubuntu 8.04 box that uses AD authenication through Likewise. But the default GUI in Ubuntu for SMB printing doesn't seem to be able to recognize our Network printer (An HP connected to Windows print server). Is there a program I can install that will scan the AD for the printer? (All Windows and Macs nearby detect the printer fine). [02:24] SeveredCross: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [02:24] what's that? [02:24] Mr_Bad_News If you dont get an answer, try changing your question.. Include your wifi card/chipset info or perhaps googling for problems specific to your hardware [02:24] douye: The other way to do the defaults is with "default saved" and then savedefault on menu entries [02:24] CostaRicanQuaker: do you have synaptic or another process open that is using root? [02:24] CostaRicanQuaker you have a second package manager open [02:24] flannel: so if i've got linux atm as 1st option and vista as 2nd i should turn it to 1 to make vista the default [02:24] are there any body want to talk with me [02:24] CostaRicanQuaker you have synaptic open [02:24] how do i setup ftp server on kubuntu? [02:24] CostaRicanQuaker: What Jack_Sparrow said. [02:24] how do i list it Jack_Sparrow [02:24] douye: That means your vista option is inside of the ### debian automagic lines, right? [02:25] * IndyGunFreak said it way before Jack_Sparrow :) [02:25] 02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) [02:25] flannel: uhm, yeah.. its the 2nd now in the list [02:25] does that help Jack_Sparrow ? [02:25] Corkster: so what do i do? [02:25] Mr_Bad_News sudo lshw or lspci or if you do "sudo lshw -C network" in a terminal it will show the networking card/chipset [02:25] Administrator_: for chatting, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic, this is for support. Thanks [02:25] dmesg | tail never outputs anything usefel [02:25] * CostaRicanQuaker closes adept [02:25] * Corkster senses troll [02:25] douye: that won't work. You *cannot* have anything else in between those two lines (it'll get erased) [02:26] Mr_Bad_News Fine, now try forming a complete question with that info [02:26] ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version [02:26] flannel: so i cant make vista be the 2nd option in the grub list? :/ [02:26] ^then why won't it play? [02:26] i already asked my question , my wireless card keeps quitting after 40 -60 minutes whats wrong and how to i fix it [02:26] douye: Not really, no. [02:27] douye: only if you leave the one ubuntu kernel [02:27] throwing this out for all - I have a fresh install of ubuntu and I also have on another drive my old ubuntu info (old computer died) I am wanting to copy "all" of my settings and info over, I copied my /home/(username)/ anything else? wheres firefox info kept? [02:27] glitsj16: Even choosing to only display one kernel version will leave it third (after recovery console) [02:27] Mr_Bad_News Fine now put the two together, your question and your hardware info.. all on one line.. and while waiting, do a little research on your own [02:27] what are you guys talking about, vista cant be first place in grub? :S [02:27] notwist sure it can [02:27] bj_: Everything personal is in your homedir [02:28] Flannel: true, didn't thin of that one .. sorry [02:28] notwist: It can, just not second. Manually added things can be before and after the generated ones, but not in between [02:28] I'm trying to get a proxy going to my home, I have hamachi running, and I can ssh the computer at home, but I can't get squid working, any ideas? [02:28] !ver [02:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about ver [02:28] !version [02:28] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [02:28] !copy [02:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about copy [02:28] !msgthebot [02:28] Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [02:29] haha [02:29] flannel - that didnt copy over my firefox bookmarks or anything [02:29] my wireless card keeps quitting after 40 - 60 minutes whats wrong and how to i fix it 02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) [02:29] douye: You can have it temporarily as the second option, except every time you get a new kernel, you'll need to re-do it. [02:29] Mr_Bad_News much better [02:29] help: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/28371/ [02:29] douye: why just not set vista as the first option? [02:29] what do i do to play mp3s? [02:30] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo apt-get install amarok [02:30] bj_: What versions is your new install, and what version was your old one? [02:30] get codecs CostaRicanQuaker [02:30] get windows :) [02:30] flannel - 8.10 for both [02:30] Corkster Stop that [02:30] CostaRicanQuaker: run sudo apt-get update... [02:30] CostaRicanQuaker, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy [02:30] Mr_Bad_News: how? [02:30] CostaRicanQuaker: then run sudo apt-get install w32codecs [02:30] flannel: can i do this?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28372/ [02:31] CostaRicanQuaker: you didn't run sudo apt-get update after adding medibuntu... so it hadn't loaded the new repository [02:31] flannel - sorry 8.04 [02:31] Hi, is there a way to change my server OS from Ubuntu Desktop to Ubuntu Server without losing any files from Desktop? [02:31] best i can tell anyways === lalala is now known as icesword [02:31] zachera: Yeah, uninstall X. [02:31] zachera Just add the server components [02:31] Jack_Sparrow have you heard of the concept called "Humor" ? [02:31] !lamp [02:31] 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+) [02:31] Jack_Sparrow: How? [02:31] bj_: Did you copy all the files? or just the non-hidden ones? [02:31] hello [02:31] zachera look up [02:32] flannel - maybe thats my problem, how do i copy the hidden ones? [02:32] douye: paste the whole file [02:32] bj_: In nautilus, ctrl-H will show hidden files/folders [02:32] question: is there a flash editor for linux available on ubuntu that is equal or better as window' programs? [02:32] CostaRicanQuaker no [02:32] CostaRicanQuaker, open synaptic package manager > settings > repositories and check all the boxes under the software tab [02:33] flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28373/ [02:33] Mr_Bad_News: do i wait for the terminal to finish downloading? last command was sudo apt-get install w32codecs and it's currently doing htat now [02:33] flannel - thank you, ill try that now [02:33] CostaRicanQuaker yes, wait [02:33] yes [02:33] douye: NO [02:33] !kde4 [02:33] KDE 4.0.5 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [02:33] douye: why not just set vista as the first one? [02:34] someone knows the loosing pounds ways great ? [02:34] !ot > Inazad [02:34] and that should do it although you might need to install some of the codecs i sent you in pm [02:34] Inazad, please see my private message [02:34] douye: You can do that, except the next time you install a kernel update, you'll need to recopy the vista one up to under the ubuntu one. [02:34] Jack_Sparrow: why is there no flash editor better than those in windows? that question comes from someone else who i was trynig to convince to switch to ubuntu today [02:34] flannel: yeah okay, doesnt matter that much tbh.. used to that i have to do a few things everytime i need to update the kernel [02:35] CostaRicanQuaker It isnt a ubuntu support question.. try offtopic of ##Flash [02:35] douye: the most logical thing would be to put vista as number 1 and if you want linux as the default boot just put "2" as the default. why do you have to have vista on second place? [02:35] Mr_Bad_News: it finished downloading, i just closed the terminal, what do i do now? run adept? [02:35] anyone know what could be causing me to have segmentation faults in all my opengl programs? [02:35] everything was working fine until about 2 days ago [02:35] notwist: uhm... just have to change less stuff as i want ubuntu as default boot ? [02:35] CostaRicanQuaker, open terminal back up and sudo apt-get install all the codecs i pm'ed you [02:36] - the w32codecs you already installed of course [02:36] douye: did you read what I said? why not have ubuntu has place 2 and default boot? [02:36] Back to my dinner.. Flannel pm me if needed. [02:36] that should get you all audio and video playback working [02:36] notwist: i'll have to change the default boot number.. and now it stays the same? so why bother to do more changes then needed.... [02:37] douye: it's one number! jesus christ [02:37] hi [02:37] notwist: i know its not much of a difference but im always "why do more if you dont need to do it" [02:37] douye: what's the most logical, set it up so that it will be OK permanently or set it up so you have to fix it when you get a kernel update? [02:37] i installed ubuntu on my macbook and the mouse is going crazy [02:38] I used a config off of unbutu/macbook but its still an issue... any idea [02:38] douye: you're acting irrational and im very annoyed by that, I'm sorry if I'm being rude [02:38] nixn00b1, like randomly moving, or moving alot for a small movement of hte mouse... [02:38] notwist: ah well didnt know i wouldnt have to change it if i put it on first place.. [02:38] notwist: in that case its indeed better to put it on first place as in the end it will require less changes [02:39] douye: 1) put vista first 2) put ubuntu 2:nd 3) choose 2:nd as default boot [02:39] douye: if you don't do that it will fuck up when you install a new kernel and you'll have to reconfig the default boot again [02:39] superfirelord42: its moving back and forth and very hard to control [02:39] i got a usb mouse now thats how im able to work [02:39] I just want people's opnions. How reliable is Ubuntu as a DHCP server? My hope would be, "very much so" :D [02:39] notwist: btw default was on 0, so shouldnt it be 1 then for the 2nd option ? [02:39] nixn00b1, so basicly, the mouse pad is reacting to much to movement? [02:39] douye: i dont think so. 0 just means "theres no default" [02:40] douye: so in this case 0 is basically the same as 1 because when you have 0 it starts at position 1 === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:40] notwist: ah that just the one selected at start then i guess [02:40] will sudo apt-get update update all installed packages? [02:40] FarmCretin: no it will get the new lists [02:40] FarmCretin: "dist-upgrade" updates them [02:40] thanks [02:40] Hey! I have 6 jack plugs on my motherboard... on vista I had a tool to select wich plug would be the output for each thing... (ex: the 3rd plug = rear speakers...) i'd like to know if there's a similar tool for linux :) [02:41] FarmCretin, no it will check the repositiories [02:41] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4CsVInPe5A [02:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/28376/ [02:41] FarmCretin, for updating packages use sudo apt-get upgrade after sudo apt-get update [02:41] er whoops [02:41] anyone can help me at all? [02:41] douye: remember that you can change the titles freely. it can be fun [02:41] Mr_Bad_News, what is that [02:41] nothing wrong window sorry [02:41] douye: renaming "windows vista" to "WUNDUWS VUSTUH" etc [02:41] arvind_khadri: not the "dist-upgrade"? [02:42] its a pretty cool video though icesword [02:42] notwist: btw.. does the grub or something try to auto login to vista? as since i installed ubuntu i always get the message when it loads vista that i gave a wrong password o.0 [02:42] hi...i having problem with my wireless..i already install ndiswrapper and it load at startup but..when i check in terminal..just found eth0 only..how to fix it?why wireless atheros not support in kardy? [02:42] FarmCretin: "update" gets the new lists of packets. "dist-upgrade" actually downloads and installs [02:42] *hardy [02:42] FarmCretin: first to update then dist-upgrade [02:42] FarmCretin, that will upgrade your distribution!!! [02:42] douye: no, it does not [02:42] arvind_khadri: no it wont [02:43] how do i check my glib version? [02:43] Flannel, cool i didnt know that .... [02:43] douye: it's possible you just forgot it or mistyped it [02:43] notwist: hmm weird then, guess it must be some setting in vista itself then altho i havent changed anything for that in there xD [02:43] arvind_khadri: hmm, it might. depending on your definition of "upgrade distribution" [02:43] isn't dist-upgrade for something like going from gutsy to Hardy? [02:43] DarkAudit: No [02:43] arvind_khadri: "update" gets the LIST of packets. it doesn't do ANYTHING else. [02:43] DarkAudit: It can be used as such, but isn't its only/primary purpose [02:44] DarkAudit: dist-upgrade downloads and installs. update just refreshes the lists. [02:44] hello, how do i identify what keyboard i have in my toshiba 215? [02:44] notwist: no.. when i boot vista it just tries to auto login somehow.. but as i've got a password set it says its the wrong pass.. i dont want it to auto boot anyhow so its no big deal [02:44] notwist, Flannel, see :) am sure... sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is related to the distro upgradation [02:44] Flannel: so what's the difference between apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade (assuming I've already done apt-get update) [02:44] apt-get update [02:44] apt-get upgrade [02:44] should be the definite sequence. [02:44] arvind_khadri: bottom line -----------> "sudo apt-get update" DOES NOT UPDATE YOUR PACKETS WHAT SO EVER [02:45] DarkAudit, arvind_khadri, "upgrade" will give you the newest package versions. "dist-upgrade" will install the newest package versions and bring in any new depends that are needed. "upgrade" can have packages held back, "dist-upgrade" won't (except for things that are broken) [02:45] hello [02:45] notwist, am talking about sudo apt-get upgarde [02:45] So virtual box allows me to boot vista within ubuntu. If so.. will vista run smooth as if i just booted it? [02:45] OopS je viens de tomber sur un tchat anglais... [02:45] Flannel, dist-upgrade will take you to ibex now!!!!! [02:45] i m new to linux [02:45] arvind_khadri: no. [02:45] Can anyone help me get 800x600 to 1025x765 in 8.04? [02:46] how do u write shell in linux [02:46] arvind_khadri: NO IT WONT, stop spreading misinformation [02:46] arvind_khadri, that would be dist-upgrade-devel [02:46] wayne_, theres some tutorials on the web, hold on... [02:46] xorg.conf has some settings, but I wouldnt think these are suffisient to make my dual monitor work properly. However, ubuntu detects monitors and resolutions properly and dual monitors actually work after I added SubSection Virtual h w with sufficient h and w in xorg.conf. I would like to know where ubuntu keeps the settings of my monitors so I can generate a xorg.conf with these settings [02:46] notwist, take it easy. [02:46] jesus if 3 people are contradicting you couldn't you be a little more humble? [02:46] MAYBE you're wrong. i dont know. [02:47] wayne_, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html [02:47] thanks alot [02:47] wayne_, and when you are doen with that [02:47] wayne_ there is a book in our repos you can dl [02:47] http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [02:47] hello everybody...

[02:49] <_xyz> superfirelord42: im trying to figure out why it doesnt play any sound by running 'test sound' but that didnt return anything to the terminal [02:49] XenThraL: whats up [02:49] XenThraL, what is the issue [02:49] _xyz, have you tried visting #winehq? [02:49] XenThraL: well, people used to be way more polite [02:49] Hey guys, I just used ndiswrapper, and it seems to be working (networks detected), but the wireless manager fails to connect. [02:49] IndyGunFreak: I asked twice patiently? [02:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/28376/ [02:49] inet addr:169.254.4.3 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 [02:49] I'm getting segmentation faults [02:49] XenThraL, ask again [02:49] with my opengl programs [02:49] np you will need to create a launcher firefox file:///usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index.html [02:50] started couple days ago [02:50] <_xyz> not yet [02:50] XenThraL: did it dawnon you someone may not know the answer?.. maybe you should ask int he #debian channel, they are a pillar of patience and helpfulness in the community [02:50] XenThraL, give us tons more info [02:50] after I struggled to get my dual monitor set up [02:50] <_xyz> superfirelord42: actually wait, yes i did. they couldnt help me [02:50] XenThraL any changes to your sources.list [02:50] no [02:50] <_xyz> superfirelord42: they said the sound should work (since it works everywhere else) [02:50] XenThraL: what is your graphcis device [02:50] _xyz, are you in hardy? [02:50] <_xyz> yes [02:50] I'm using nvidia-glx-new-envy driver [02:50] its a quadro fx 1400 [02:51] XenThraL: have you tried downgrading your driver [02:51] hmm, dual screen w/ Nvidia is pretty easy [02:51] just use restricted driver, install nvidia-settings, and set up dual screens there. [02:51] IndyGunFreak: thats all fine, it just started to segfault with opengl [02:51] XenThraL: afaik envy aren't the most stable drivers [02:51] Does anyone know how to fis the font rendering in Ubuntu Hardy? I have read several forum posts and nothing seems to work. Basically, when you read a web page, some words appear blurrier or lighter in color than others. [02:51] notwist: it won't even start kdm with the other one [02:51] _xyz, there is a known wine issue with pulseaudio.... (it wont work).. have you tried changing the setting to use alsa (i think thats what it was) by default [02:52] ? [02:52] OpenMindDJ: could be a graphics driver issue [02:52] I've only got sound on one side, how can I fix this? [02:52] XenThraL and opengl segfaults makes one think the driver is the problem [02:52] notwist: could be, it's an old GeForce card [02:52] I've wiped my older kernel images [02:52] and reinstalled this one [02:52] <_xyz> superfirelord42: yes, i'm trying to use Alsa since my x-fi card has a hard time running on OSS [02:52] wiped all the nvidia packages [02:52] and reinstalled the drivers [02:52] OpenMindDJ: have you tried installing the proprietary drivers [02:52] then I went a little crazy and just killed any nvidia files from my root [02:53] and then reinstalled the drivers [02:53] problem still persists [02:53] notwist: yes, they are installed. Ubuntu system fonts look great..only an issue in FF3 [02:53] Guys, my ndiswrapper interfaces did not connect properly, how do I /release or /renew with ifconfig? [02:53] it just wasn't there before at all, and I'm starting to suspect it coincided with the .19 kernel [02:53] notwist: I tried the whole creating a sym link to 10-autohint.conf and that didnt seem to do much [02:54] OpenMindDJ: sounds wierd that it only happens in FF3 [02:54] I've only got sound on one chennel through the jack output, how can I fix this? [02:54] weird* [02:54] actually this is not a vid card issue because I have another computer here with an intel card and FF looks just as bad [02:54] notwist: doesn't FF3 have known bugs with font rendering? [02:54] Lions\Spawn: You did check the equalizer... === maco_ is now known as maco [02:54] right? [02:54] yea, both chans are set to the same level [02:54] notwist: all the text on IRC looks good :) [02:54] Lions\Spawn: i fixed it by switching from pulse audio back to alsamixer..... i had lots of issues like that w/ Pulse... YMMV [02:55] Lions\Spawn: =\ Sorry man... [02:55] OpenMindDJ: sudo apt-get install lynx ;) [02:55] _xyz, so it works with everything but wine? [02:55] I am using the alsamixer IndyGunFreak [02:55] worked just a few days ago [02:55] hmm, strange, haven't had that prob w/ alsamixer [02:55] <_xyz> superfirelord42: yes [02:55] notwist: :) [02:56] <_xyz> superfirelord42: when I try to run 'Test Sound' in the audio tab, it returns an error, saying 'Audio test failed!'. that's why i want the error's output in the terminal [02:56] notwist: I have a new vid card (GeForce 6200 AGP) on order...maybe DVI will help :/ [02:56] still working with my wireless..Headache!! [02:56] _xyz, it isnt in the terminel when you do that? [02:57] <_xyz> superfirelord42: well someone on ubuntu forums told me to run it from the terminal and get the output but i guess it cant be done. do you have any ideas? [02:57] OpenMindDJ: u have msttcorefonts ? [02:57] OpenMindDJ: i doubt it :P [02:58] _xyz, i think he ment goto a terminal, and just run winecfg... it should automaticly output all errors and fixmes [02:58] zro: i do as this was installed with the bad evil scary restricted packages [02:58] _xyz /join #alsa [02:58] <_xyz> superfirelord42: as in, 'sudo winecfg'? i did that, all it does is launch the GUI winecfg and outputs nothing to the terminal [02:58] <_xyz> ok [02:58] _xyz, no, not sudo, wine is not a sudo app [02:59] _xyz, wine should not be run as root [02:59] <_xyz> well whatever, just winecfg [02:59] <_xyz> ohhhh [02:59] <_xyz> still no output [02:59] _xyz, major thing... by running it as root, you make him owner of .wine... and put your computer at risk... [02:59] <_xyz> i make 'him' owner of .wine? [03:00] OpenMindDJ: did u post a screen shot? What are yr fonts set as ? ( System > Pref > Appearance > font tab ) ? [03:00] yeah.... when you run wine as root [03:00] <_xyz> well what do you mean 'run'. i never really 'run' it except for winecfg which launches just fine w/o root [03:01] _xyz, run winecfg in hte terminal, and then try the sound test, see if it outputs anything [03:01] <_xyz> nada [03:01] <_xyz> no output [03:01] _xyz, hold on, im getting the command [03:02] zro: mostly sans 10 with LCD smoothing and 96 dpi, full hint, order is RGB [03:02] same in FF pref?

[03:06] hmmm [03:06] can u post a screen shot to imageshack or something? [03:06] Hello, can anyone tell me the command to get into the xorg?

[03:07] thanks for the help anyways [03:07] OpenMindDJ: you have you have doen this right? sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [03:07] I have a really stupid question. [03:08] Hey, is anyone here familiar with using an Xbox 360 wired controller with Hardy? [03:08] pip, ask [03:08] russianzilla: not likely =\ [03:08] pip, whatever it is, i have heard worse [03:08] pip, there is no stupid question, only stupid people [03:08] <[TiZ]> Hi there, guys. Unfortunately, I have another tough one for you all. I've installed drivers for my Sony EyeToy, and I want to use it as a microphone.

How would I go about setting this device as my default input device, AND THEN, setting Wine up to use it as well? [03:08] super-6-1; or maybe you wanted to edit the xorg.conf file? sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:08] zro: I think I just figured something out...it could be the KVM switch [03:08] poor pip.. [03:08] btfx: Not likely it'll work? === Jippen is now known as jippen_ [03:08] I've just started on ubuntu, but for some reason, I can't do shit with it, because it says I'm not the owner. [03:08] OpenMindDJ: ha! === jippen_ is now known as jippen__ [03:08] It's very weird, I used a guide on the Ubuntu wiki.

[03:08] but since I'm not the " owner" I can't install anything === jippen__ is now known as jippen [03:09] russianzilla: I may be wrong... [03:09] I mean how do i configure the xorg [03:09] ... i love when im barking up a totally wrong tree.. [03:09] zro: when flipping back and forth between computers the video goes a little haywire [03:09] pip: you need to use sudo [03:09] arvind_khadri; getting into xorg can be translated in many ways. [03:09] !sudo | pip [03:09] pip: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [03:09] russianzilla: how many times did you reboot =P [03:09] pip, that sounds backwards, you didnt get to choose a password? [03:09] So far once. [03:09] hehheh [03:09] <[TiZ]> super-6-1, use "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in a terminal or run box [03:09] zro: right now, when i type i hear a beep for every letter i press...what the heck did i just do now!!! [03:09] bastid_raZor, yeah thats why after answering him i thought what did he mean :) [03:09] I chose a password for my user account, but it says my user is not the owner [03:09] I tried to redo the guide a few times but it didn't get me anywhere. [03:09] * pip looks up sudo stuff [03:09] Here's something more general then. [03:09] sorry, I have no idea really =\ [03:09] arvind_khadri; heh, i thought the same thing after reading your response. [03:10] pip, when you use the console, or when you open apps such as synaptic? [03:10] I found a different guide, but it says I need to make sure that the old module I was using for the controller has been removed. [03:10] OpenMindDJ: ee.... thats a weird one. [03:10] when I use the console [03:10] ok [03:10] Ok,... I got a question, im uploading an inordinate amount of data to a server (using scp). i didnt use the l flag or anything,... the files are going one by one up to the server @ 430KB/s or there abouts... i then started 2 more "scp -Cr " sessions and they are all going @ 430KB/s .... where would one suppose this magical bottle neck is? If I can transfer 3 @ 430, shouldn't one be able to go @ 1290? [03:10] pip, sudo then... [03:10] bastid_raZor, :) crazy people ... [03:10] I went into the joystick kernel modules and deleted the xpad file, so does that mean it's been unloaded then? [03:10] thanks [03:10] pip, it asks for a password, you use your own... [03:10] russianzilla: AFAIK yes [03:10] pip, one way around this is use the recovery mode and then adduser admin [03:10] again, I may be wrong as hell [03:10] =\ [03:10] Alright, because modprobe -r hangs whenever I use it. [03:11] recovery mode is way beyond my skills. [03:11] zro: by the way, pressing the auto button on the monitor seems to clear up the fonts...for some reason this issue was only noticible in FF and well, i read alot of junk about FF3 with fonts....

[03:16] MatBoy, this is support channel; #ubuntu-offtopic is chat channel [03:16] lwizardl: okay, two things come to mind, 1) the ffmpeg version from medibuntu repo is way more powerfull than the one from regular ubuntu repo .. and 2) there's a frontend called winFF that works with profiles, which simplifies things a lot .. google for winFF, they offer a .deb [03:16] bazhang: ow indeed [03:16] sorry :) [03:17] the problem "hdparm" that damage harddisk, is fixed in ubuntu 8.04 ? [03:17] I believe the easiest way to handle those types of things would be too use something like the startupmanager (found in the repos) [03:17] how come does pidgin not show any of my friends on it , and ppl that are online appear as offline????? [03:17] _xyz, i dont know... i know less about sound.. more about setup on wine.... and incompatibilities [03:17] lwizardl: did you install the medibuntu repo version of ffmpeg ? [03:17] pip, did it work? [03:17] Today, I have attempted to install Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop editon. I have burnt the disc myself, and I have checked, it has no errors. It all goes fine until the partitioning part . Here, I choose the the option where you can drag along the amount of space you want. I allow Ubunto 12gb (i have 100gb free). I press next and it says 0% for about 30 secs. and then a little box comes titiled... [03:17] ..."Re-size operation failure", witht he message, "An error has occured while writing changes to the storage devices. The re-size has been aborted.". From then it only gives me the other two options of using all the space available and manual... I dont know what to do in manual and I want to dual boot.. Please help, and I know it is not the disc. [03:17] glitsj16, i just did apt-get install [03:17] pip got killed by peer [03:17] martosurf: I believe the easiest way to handle those types of things would be too use something like the startupmanager (found in the repos) [03:17] bad peer -_- [03:17] chriswr, in the menu check show offline buddies and maybe your friends are invisible to you :) [03:17] <_xyz> superfirelord42: thanks for all your help [03:18] _xyz, no prob...

[03:18] Anyone know how to stop a kernel module so I can remove it? [03:18] lwizardl: hold on, got a link to a nice howto to get the medibuntu version, brb [03:18] Guest101, in a terminal, type mount [03:18] <[TiZ]> Guest101, I find that BootIt NG is actually a really, really good partitioning tool. Just burn it to a CD (don't bother installing it), and do your partition work from the CD. [03:18] bobertdos: hi and tnx 4 replying -- well you'll see, i actually need to manually delete a them so i need to know where those files lies =D [03:18] Guest101, please pastebin the output [03:18] Guest101, if resizign a ntfs partition, you may have to defrag/scandisk it beforhand so gparted can resize it.. if using vista. Use vista to resize the partition. it will do it much faster then gparted. [03:19] arvind_khadri: that worked to show them but they still appear as offline [03:19] martosurf: Oh, and why do you need to know this? [03:19] chriswr, they maybe invisible to you ... [03:19] how do i get awn to startup every time? [03:19] superfielord42, how do I get to the the terminal? [03:19] arvind_khadri: oooh ok [03:19] alt f2 gnome-terminal Guest101 [03:19] Guest101, the menu on hte top left, under accessories [03:19] Guest101, look for terminal [03:20] i mainly want to see if for some reason, its read only [03:20] [TiZ] How would I think go about installing ubunto to it though? [03:20] lwizardl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu .. add the medibuntu repo is described there in detail [03:20] dr_Willis, I de-fraged yesters [03:20] pip, did it work? [03:20] grrrrr [03:20] yep [03:20] <[TiZ]> Guest101, I thought you were trying to resize the partitions on your drive. [03:21] pip, do you have other questions while you are at it? [03:21] Im trying to install Ubuntu [TiZ] [03:21] Guest101, [TiZ]'s will work... im just cecking to see if it mounted read only somehow [03:21] tma right click on the file and select the optin open with ...select the app from the list you want to open the file with :) [03:21] Someone needs to warn people not to move to cottage country ever. [03:21] not just yet [03:21] but i'm still working on it :) [03:21] hey, i have installed my video card drivers, and i need to try and change the brightness and contrast of the screen like in windows...how can i do that? [03:21] <[TiZ]> Guest101, this is what you want to do. Get the partitions all set up the way you want from BootIt NG's CD. And then, use the Ubuntu install CD, and pick the partition you want Ubuntu on. [03:21] glitsj16, yeah I have that already enabled [03:22] tma_, right click on the file and select the optin open with ...select the app from the list you want to open the file with :) [03:22] arvind_khadri, i want to RUN [03:23] Guest101 did you get to a terminal and did you try mount to get hte output [03:23] hmm [03:23] i fucked up somewhere [03:23] tma, if its a shortcut/link to a script. you may want to make sure its set to be 'executable' [03:23] pip no cursing [03:23] is there a way to test the reiability of a connection (and log it) from a command line on a server? [03:23] arvind_khadri, and i want the shortcut to do this automaticly [03:23] superfirelord42.. im a bit lost on what your asking me to do.. I am a bit slow with these things... :/ [03:23] lwizardl: okay, you will have the needed ffmpeg in that case to go over the instructions on how to proceed at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19571065-SOLVED-ffmpeg-mkv-to-xvidac3 [03:23] sorry [03:23] pip, watch your language around here [03:23] arvind_khadri, it runs OK, just that it asks me everytime [03:23] i *messed* up somewhere [03:23] tma, set it as executable [03:23] Guest101, no problem, did you get to the terminal? [03:23] is preload bad to use? on the comments of this page (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Optimize-Ubuntu-8-04-for-Speed-86405.shtml), someone said it was [03:24] No :/ [03:24] pip: Heh, well that's what we try to do, help clean up botched jobs. It's easy enough to do in Ubuntu. [03:24] tma, is it a script??? [03:24] jeeves_, simple way may be to use 'sing' in a script. its a programable ping variant. [03:24] tma, run has got several meanings please be clear... [03:24] Guest101, on hte top left-hand corner, on that menu, under accessories, look for terminal [03:24] Guest101, when it opens, type in exactly... sudo mount [03:24] i have installed my video card drivers, and i need to try and change the brightness and contrast of the screen like in windows...how can i do that? [03:25] superfirelord42... to do that I will have to leave windows though.. Im currently in windows.. [03:25] dr_Willis, hummm, my ISP "claims" that all my latency, poor cnnections, and other "downtime" is my server (ie., me not using their "hosted" services), and I'd love to shove it back in their face [03:25] Guest101, hold on.... [03:25] arvind_khadri, ok, it's a program i downloaded, i created a shortcut on my desktop for it ... everytime i try to click the shortcut, it asks me what i want to do... i choose RUN and it works ... [03:25] Guest101, do you have another computer you can do irc on? [03:25] any one on here done netboot b4 [03:25] glitsj16, yeah but that is for xvid, i want to keep it HD and leave it as either the file types I need to be able to make it into a HD-DVD mini disc (.TS .MPG or M2TS) [03:25] superfirelord42... no :/ [03:25] arvind_khadri, my question is: is there a way to set the shorcut to choose RUN all the time without asking me? [03:25] Guest101, that way some people online can help you as you work with it if you encounter errors? [03:25] I'm following these instructions: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Multimedia-Codecs-in-Linux-39555.shtml and at the cp all-2006blahblahblah command, I get " missing destination file operand after all-20061022blahblah [03:25] jeeves_, good luck proving any of that.. and you will need a Mirical to get the ISPs to actually do anything if you did prove it.. :( [03:26] Guest101, unfortunatly I must go offline [TiZ] are you still there? [03:26] <[TiZ]> I'm here. [03:26] <[TiZ]> I guess it's lucky I have my own problem, hmm. [03:26] jeeves_, but i guess ya could check out 'sing' anyway - its an overlooked tool :) [03:26] [TiZ], can you help Guest101 i must go offline [03:26] tma, ok you need it to sym link it with the executable frm where you created the shortcut [03:26] dr_Willis, well, I know the owner personally, and he figures he dosn't have to be afraid of me. He owes me $$ anyways, so I took hosting in leu of payment [03:26] <[TiZ]> I'll help out and then I'm going to start asking about my own stuff again. [03:26] how do i do that? [03:26] hey how are you doing [03:26] [TiZ], what where you having trouble with? [03:27] ooh i forgot the space. [03:27] <[TiZ]> Guest101, where do you stand right now? [03:27] hey owner... [03:27] tma: most things exec are /usr/share/bin look in there and make a shortcutt from one of those. [03:27] <[TiZ]> Here, I'll go ahead and c/p it real quick. [03:27] sorry for the repeat msg but I lost network again...so azureus keeps knocking off my wifi...I've replaced my router, I've replaced my network card...I've blacklisted ipv6...any ideas why I would lose my wireless connection? it's also impacted by large file transfers [03:27] <[TiZ]> Hi there, guys. Unfortunately, I have another tough one for you all. I've installed drivers for my Sony EyeToy, and I want to use it as a microphone. If I set the input device in Audacity to OSS: /dev/dsp1, it works great. But I use ALSA to play sound throughout the system. How would I go about setting this device as my default input device, AND THEN, setting Wine up to use it as well? [03:27] dr_Willis, so if I can have a script run every 5 mins or so to ping a big name domain, then record the latency, etc and log it, then I can prove it [03:27] idid the net boot [03:27] pip: I don't think I was here when you were explaining your original problem, but is there a reason you're using these as opposed to everything available in the repos? [03:27] [TiZ], so I should install a partition with Bootit first, then go through the linux disc? [03:27] Jeeves: Have you tried running a bandwith/response/uptime monitor on the box? Charting the response times of pings from home to the box, vs home to thier page, 1 per minute for a day could give some backing to your argument. [03:27] now iam stuck in the menu [03:27] owner, im guessing you didnt manage to get ubuntu installed... [03:27] <[TiZ]> Wrong, Guest101. Do NOT install BootIt NG. [03:27] lwizardl: hang on, i'll check if winFF offers that option [03:27] tma, sudo ln -s /path/to/app /path/to/executable [03:27] Oh.. ok [TiZ] [03:27] dr_Willis, any sudgestions on a syntax for it? [03:28] <[TiZ]> Download it, burn it to a CD or floppy drive [03:28] [TiZ], i could have sworn i saw a google tut for that once.. a while back... but i have no knowledge in the area... [03:28] glitsj16, on my winff i don't have them [03:28] guys, when you want to configure the brightness/contrast of your screen, how do you do it? [03:28] owner, what is the menu? [03:28] arvind_khadri, let me try it [03:28] <[TiZ]> And then run it from the CD, and use its partitioning tool [03:28] tma, i feel it would work... lets try [03:28] jpastore; possibly try something other than azurues? transmission ktorrent deluge are all great *nix native applications that don't use java [03:28] <[TiZ]> After you're done partitioning, you can choose which partition to install Ubuntu on from the installer. [03:28] the install main menu [03:28] hello [03:28] owner, what options do you have... and are you using hte floppy method? [03:28] dont listen to styfle, he's a mean person [03:28] netboot [03:28] guys, when you want to configure the brightness/contrast of your screen, how do you do [03:29] it workeked [03:29] owner, IT WORKED!! what was making it not work? [03:29] <[TiZ]> Yazan`, is it a laptop screen, or just a normal monitor? [03:29] its now asking me for the mirror site [03:29] bastid_raZor, it happens during big file transfers as well...like downloading iso's [03:29] owner, hold on... [03:29] lwizardl: just found that out myself .. seems more complex than i thought .. sorry to be of no help whatsoever [03:29] jeeves_, nope. I recall using it a year or so ago to 'test' some issues over a long time. [03:29] ok [03:29] [TiZ], is there a partiton program I dont have to burn to disc to use? Because surely that would be easier? [03:29] glitsj16, no preoblem atleast you tried :) [03:29] TiZ: it's a monitor [03:30] <[TiZ]> Guest101, That's what I'm trying to recommend to you. Have you not been listening? [03:30] can someone help me out with a wireless adapter??? [03:30] dr_Willis, fun. I'll have a look. thanks. [03:30] <[TiZ]> BootIt NG can be run FROM THE CD to do partitioning. [03:30] Guest101, just use gparted in the installer disk no need for bootit ng (never heard of it and not recommended here) [03:30] styfle: depends on the adapter [03:30] jpastore; how are you downloading them? azurues? [03:30] TiZ: i want to use the configuration like in windows, where i change brightness/contrast [03:30] <[TiZ]> You download it, and run a program that burns it to a cd or makes a floppy disk [03:30] okay. I need point and click [03:30] [TiZ] oh, ok... [03:30] bastid_raZor, no from website's like trixbox [03:30] [TiZ], gparted is a much better option here [03:31] owner, what was it again, asking for a mirror? [03:31] yeah [03:31] bazhang, where do I get gparted from? [03:31] <[TiZ]> Sorry, Yazan`. I've never configured a monitor that way from in Windows. Can't you just use the monitor controls? [03:31] indygunfreak: i have a WPC54G Ver2 and it wont let me connect to a WEP 64 hex connection [03:31] on the main install menu [03:31] styfle: can you see the network? [03:31] <[TiZ]> bazhang, why is that? gparted does not work nearly as well as BootIt NG has, at least for me. [03:31] Guest101, it is on the live cd; also you can use the manual partitioning scheme in the installer process [03:31] pip: that's fine. [03:31] arvind_khadri, ok, i just did that ... here is what i get when i dbl click the link "Do you want to run "Link to apb, or display its contents?"

I have a script running every 10 mins to d-load an IP accessable cam's pictures, but I'd like to encode them once a day, but I need to make sure that it only encodes videos for that day, and that the output video file's name is the date range of the encoded pictures [03:32] arvind_khadri, yes, am i doing something wrong?

[03:33] <[TiZ]> Very well. You can take over for me since you know so very much, bazhang. [03:33] bazhang, oh that. when I chose the manual option the "make new partition" bit was grayed out... :/ is it posible for you to guide me through the process if I find a differenct computer for irc? [03:33] styfle: hm,m don't know about that [03:33] ok first host name [03:33] yes [03:33] arvind_khadri, yes === Commie_Jebus is now known as Commie_Gamer [03:33] anything i choose right [03:33] hello fn key not working on my toshiba 215, how can i configure it??

[03:34] yeah [03:34] <[TiZ]> So I will resume my inquiry on my own dilemma now. [03:34] indygunfreak: do you know someone who can help? i am a compete noob with linux [03:34] [TiZ], you may wish to read the ubuntuguide or ubuntu wiki for more info on this; bootit ng is not on the list there. [03:34] tma: what is you you installed? [03:34] styfle: sorry i do not [03:34] genii: Hey it is working! [03:34] !fn [03:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about fn [03:34] i am on the client it saids enter a host name for the system [03:34] <[TiZ]> bazhang, have you ever used it before? I would guess it's not too widely known. [03:34] !functional [03:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about functional [03:34] xborgy, it doesnt need install, just run ... and it runs fine ... just that it PROMPTS all the time what to do [03:34] anything you choose [03:35] Ca I install iTunes 7.7 in Ubuntu? [03:35] tma: yes i know what is it? [03:35] im having trouble connecting to a windows ad-hoc network. I see the network but can't make a connection. suggestions? [03:35] xborgy, i wanted to get rid of the prompt and RUN automaticly ... is it possible? [03:35] owner, i am going to go eat... do the netboot how you got it work lastime, then try the mirror http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/ubuntu/ [03:35] so it can identify te client by [03:35] Bubalooshi, yeah, use wine [03:35] .... [03:35] What's Wine? [03:35] Buba> Wine and iTunes don't play well [03:35] ok thanks [03:35] tma: yes its very easy but what is the app? [03:35] Guest101, you are using gparted on mounted partitions? or going through a live cd environment to do so [03:35] Jippen, the newest version doesnt? [03:36] I tried it, like, a month ago [03:36] hello, anyone know of a package that can do full disk encryption for my entire linux partition? I tried truecrypt but it doesn't seem to offer full disk encryption in the debian package? [03:36] Hay can anyone help me connect with multiple interfaces? Whenever I use that connection tool on the desktop toolbar it drops my other already-working connection. === btfx[AFK] is now known as btfx === superfirelord42 is now known as superfirelord42| [03:36] brb [03:36] xborgy, it's a program a friend of mine sent to me, we're working on a project ... but i guess it happens to any app [03:36] Is there any way I can get rid of the GRUB loader? [03:36] bazhang... I might be.. im not sure.. === superfirelord42| is now known as superfire|away [03:36] tma: are you running a .sh? [03:36] why do you want to, buba? [03:37] I can access Ubuntu through the Windows loader fine, I don't need GRUB [03:37] I had it so I can install Ubuntu [03:37] xborgy, nope, it's a file without extension ... just a script i guess [03:37] Or do I need it? [03:37] is there a dyndns auto updater for ubuntu hardy? [03:37] Guest101, that would be the reason then; do you have the ubuntu live cd? or is this through wubi [03:37] tma: right mouse click your desktop and choose create link [03:37] bazhang... the cd i am using is a burnt iso from the ubuntu site.. not wubbi [03:37] well, you still ACTUALLY need it to boot the system, so I would recommend setting the timeout to, say, 1 second, rather than removing it completely [03:38] <[TiZ]> I've installed drivers for my Sony EyeToy, and I want to use it as a microphone. If I set the input device in Audacity to "OSS: /dev/dsp1", it works great. I have to use that option, as ALSA's input device doesn't work, and neither does "USB Audio" from sound properties. But I use ALSA to play sound throughout the system. How would I go about setting "OSS: /dev/dsp1" as my default input device, AND THEN, setting Wine up to use it as well? [03:38] xborgy, link is there already [03:38] xborgy, now what? [03:38] tma: run it [03:38] Well, how can I access Windows if I change the timer to 1 second? [03:38] Hay can anyone help me connect with multiple interfaces? Whenever I use that connection tool on the desktop toolbar it drops my other already-working connection. [03:38] xborgy, ok, prompt again [03:38] Guest101, you run the installer, then get to the guided partitioning section and then it fails? [03:39] Bubalooshi: hit esc before the timer runs out? [03:39] xborgy, i click run and it runs the app [03:39] that will bring up your grub menu [03:39] bazhang, yes [03:39] tma: yes i know because you're running something that isnt even installed into correct folders to make it run automaticly. [03:39] Guest101, and it just goes back to the livecd desktop or what [03:39] yes. [03:39] Well, that's my only reason besides Windows because of this... my wireless keyboard won't work with my bootloader stuff. [03:40] Buba> If you are booting via the windows bootloader, then it prolly gives you a choice between "windows" and "other OS", right? [03:40] When installing Ubuntu Server what is the best choice of disk partition types? The system is mainly a Samba file server for Windows clients. [03:40] xborgy, should i change something to this file? some properties? [03:40] Guest101, that was an A or B question, you have to choose one [03:40] or maybe move it to /bin folder? [03:40] Oh.. i mean yes to it going to the ubuntu desk-top bazhang.. sorry ;/ [03:40] tma: how big is this could you send it to me? [03:40] can anyone take a stab @ this? I need to script a way of only encoding jpegs from a specific day. the pictures follow the format of location_-_year_-_month_-_day_-_hour_-_minute_-_second.jog [03:40] No, it says: [03:40] Windows XP Professional [03:40] Windows 2000 [03:40] Windows XP Professional (I installed 2 times) [03:40] Bubalooshi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:40] Ubuntu [03:40] xborgy, hold on [03:40] Can anyone help me connect with multiple interfaces? Whenever I use that connection tool on the desktop toolbar it drops my other already-working connection. [03:40] k [03:40] sysop> If you want it to be decient performance and low-maintainence, I recommend 1 partition, ext3 [03:41] does prefetch some preinstalled with hardy? [03:41] Guest101, and you did md5 the iso and did integrity check on the installer disk? Also, what speed did you burn the iso to cd at. [03:41] *com [03:41] *come === Charitwo is now known as u [03:41] Jeeves: Can you mod the script to instead be location/year/month/day/hour-minute-second.jog ? [03:41] Sorry about the Enter thing, but anyways it says Ubuntu at the bottom and I can choose it there [03:41] jippen: when we add more drives at a later date for added storage will it be a problem? [03:42] bazhang, i burned it at 4x, did a nero intefrity check, and then did the ubunto verifying thing.. it passed all of them. no errors. [03:42] sysop> If you want that to be easy, for a minor performace drop, use LVM. Makes upgrading later a whole lot easier [03:42] tma, you around? [03:42] Guest101, and now you are trying to manually or use the guided partitioner (which one) [03:42] Jippen, that would be a pain in the you know what. and I woul dhave to rewrite a lot of other scripts. [03:42] hey, is this a valid bash command: sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?? [03:43] bazhang, i tried to use the guided one, thats when the error came. [03:43] Yazan`: no, you probably want an editor (nano) [03:43] Yazan`, no ..what are you trying to achieve [03:43] arvind_khadri, yes [03:43] i want to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf with admin privilage [03:43] so is this the only chat room on this thing or is there other to chat in? [03:43] Jippen, I guess the best way would be to rewrite the script to do that for each location (make directories for year>month>day, but that' a LOT of rewriting (there is over 300 feeds) [03:44] Guest101, you fiddled with the slider, or left it as ubuntu suggested [03:44] xborgy, ok, this is just 4.7 k, but it seems to be a script to check on something and then run another app (included in the same folder) [03:44] xborgy, it says #!/bin/bash on top [03:44] jeeves: What it sounds like, is that you want to grab location-$year-$month-$day-hour-minute.jpg, with the $ being vars, and encode into a movie, right? [03:44] styfle fix the cod4 server [03:44] jippen: Is it reliable though? If one drive crashes do they all go down? [03:44] bazhang, I fiddled with it.. giving ubuntu 12gb of partition [03:44] kcman: freenode has loads of channels, what are you looking for exactly ? [03:45] Guest101, this is a dual boot or ubuntu only [03:45] glitsj16 i guess for now just social stuff is there a search or a page to choose from? [03:45] how can i open /etc/X11/xorg.conf with admin privilege from the terminal, if not: sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:45] ??? [03:45] tma,were you able to run the file [03:45] Jippen, yes. it's traffic cams, and right now, I have the script downloading the pictures, and renaming the files to include the date/time they were downloaded. then I encode them by hand later. I'd like to have it run in the background, and once it's done, it moves the pictures to an eternal HDD. That way, I can archive the pictures, and be left with the encoded videos [03:45] Yazan`, gksudo gedit [03:45] Anyone in here dual-booting a macbook? [03:45] Yazan`, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:45] bazhang, i want/need it to be dual boot. [03:45] arvind_khadri, file runs fine, it's just the prompt i want to get rid of [03:46] sysop> If you need the reliability, go for raid. raises cost, setup time, and hurts performance, but it does give you hardiness. Then again, if the box crashes via power spike or something, you may still be hosed. [03:46] tma, ok did you navigate the right click menu?? [03:46] arvind_khadri, yes [03:46] jeeves: You can prolly patch something together with a loop, and using `date`, then [03:46] tma, any success?? [03:46] tma: it's got to be a sh script./ [03:46] Guys, I have multiple network interfaces, Ubuntu automatically connacts to th ewired, but when I try to connect with one of the wireless, it disconnects the wired interface, how can I use both? [03:47] xborgy, so, is there a command ... like exec apb ... or ./sh apb [03:47] kcman: depending on the irc client you use you can get the complete list of channels, or look at www.freenode.net [03:47] xborgy, something like that? [03:47] tma: can you not send me teh file ? [03:47] btfx: Why would you need to? If they are both going over the same line, you won't get any faster speed. [03:47] xborgy, i dont think i can [03:47] Guest101, you backed up the important stuff from windows? also, are you going to have a separate /home partition? if the manual partitioner in the installer disk is giving you fits you may wish to dl the gparted live cd and do it from there [03:47] jippen: My concern is that LVM works like a striped raid so that if one drive were to crash it would take down the others as it works like 1 large drive. Is that how LVM works? [03:47] glitsj16 thank you [03:47] xborgy, totally new to linux [03:47] ok, after installing the drivers for s3 gamma prosavage video card, how can i now configure the brightness/contrast?? [03:47] tma, if its a script then set it as executable!! [03:47] Jippen: they are going over separate lines =P [03:48] kcman: no problem, hope you can find what you need, goodluck [03:48] tma: right mouse click on the file make it exec [03:48] arvind_khadri, xborgy it is set to executable already [03:48] sysop: Yes, but you can layer LVM over a mirror raid. Easy expansion, just add 2 drives, then run a few LVM commands to take up the new space [03:48] Guest101, you need to exercise great care when doing it however [03:48] <[TiZ]> I've installed drivers for my Sony EyeToy, and I want to use it as a microphone. If I set the input device in Audacity to "OSS: /dev/dsp1", it works great. I have to use that option, as ALSA's input device doesn't work, and neither does "USB Audio" from sound properties. But I use ALSA to play sound throughout the system. How would I go about setting "OSS: /dev/dsp1" as my default input device, AND THEN, setting Wine up to use it as well? [03:48] tma: you might have to chmod the file for privlages [03:49] can someone please help me with a wireless adapter linksys WPC54G Ver2. it discovers networks but when trying to connect it doesnt accept the password and then the icon disappears at the top [03:49] glitsj16 O:-) [03:49] tma: /path/to/scrpit.sh > /dev/null [03:49] bazhang, yeah... all backed up. I just want to partitions.. One for ubuntu and one for vista.. i think it was me thta is makking the normal manual partitioner have a fit.. :/ [03:49] tma: and them make a symbolic link to /usr/share/applications or whatever thats if its in there [03:49] Guys, how do I get the network manager to use more thn one network interface? [03:49] xborgy, thats also done :) [03:50] for all ubuntu users here, whenever you want to configure the brightness of your screen, how do you do it?? [03:50] gotcha =_ [03:50] mneptok, what does this command do? [03:50] Rawr! I'm having some trouble getting Hardy booting on my macbook pro. [03:50] i have ubuntu 8.04 and am using the gnome desktop, i can send files from my PC to my mobile phone but not vice versa [03:50] jeeves> http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/timedate.html [03:50] tma: runs the script and directs any output ot /dev/null [03:50] btfx, from a cable connection and a dsl one (ie two different sources)? [03:50] I can get the liveCD booted and it installs. [03:50] *to [03:50] Yazan`, use the monitor's menu [03:50] reFIt sees the partition [03:50] bazhang: yep [03:50] i have receive files enabled in preference->administration [03:50] Hello, Firefox 3.0.1 won't display full screen youtube videos [03:50] I tell it to adjust the mbr... [03:50] <[TiZ]> Yazan`, doesn't your monitor have any brightness controls? [03:50] bazhang: One wired connection (working) and two wireless(not) [03:50] and when I try to boot Linux it just hangs at the reFIt penguin screen :\ [03:51] mneptok, but it's text executable file ... not a .sh file [03:51] YES IT DOES. and it's set on max [03:51] brb [03:51] mneptok, no extension to it [03:51] tma: it's still a shell script [03:51] how do you force quit??? [03:51] jippen: I believe backups will be kept so I don't believe we need a raid setup I just worry if we have 3 drives and one crashes in LVM we will lose the OS [03:51] hitting: Its a flash problem, not FF. Have you tried manually installing flash 9? That fixed it for me. [03:51] btfx, you have two dsl accounts and one cable account? [03:51] im frozen right now [03:51] mneptok, ok, let me try this [03:51] styfle, you want to stop a partcular app or whole X?/ [03:51] bazhang: I have three routers =) each with a separate conection, one connects via LAN, two are wireless [03:51] styfle: sudo killall appname in term [03:51] bazhang... do you think i should just use wubbi... cos tbh.. i dont trust myself with the partitones.. :/ [03:52] i have ubuntu 8.04 and am using the gnome desktop, i can send files from my PC to my mobile phone but not vice versa [03:52] bazhang: whenever I use the net manager to start one of the wireless ones, the wired connection is dropped =/ [03:52] im a nub: first time using ubuntu and i tried to update with update manager and its just frozen, i click the x and nothing [03:52] Guest101, you can certainly try; the gparted live cd is fairly intuitive but partitioning can be fairly intimidating for newer users [03:52] styfle: open a terminal [03:52] jippen: no thanks for the tip [03:52] styfle: sudo killall appname in term [03:52] sysop: The only way to prevent losing the OS from a disk crash is to use raid, and raid is not a replacement for backups. [03:52] xborgy how do i open terminal? [03:53] jippen: Whay would you partition the drive with that will be used for only windows data [03:53] find it in your menu [03:53] styfle, Alt+F2 sudo killall update-manager [03:53] bazhang.. i think im gonna go with wubbi.. thanks for your help though :D [03:53] bai [03:53] styfle, use the run in terminal option [03:53] btfx, network manager is not your friend in this instance, you will need to go cli for this [03:53] arvind_khadri: ty [03:53] cli? [03:53] xborgy, :) welcome [03:53] sysop: ext3. Since its going to be over a network, ext3 basically has all the features of NTFS, and is very stable on linux. [03:53] bazhang: vli? [03:53] **cli? [03:53] btfx, the command line [03:54] bazhang: Which command =( [03:54] And, since you are accessing over the network, you don't need to worry about FS compatability between systems [03:54] well the terminal wont open :( [03:54] bazhang: I assume the man pages will take it from here? [03:54] styfle, press Alt+F2 [03:54] i have a wireless cars ralink r73usb but the max speed is only 1mb/s it should be 54mbps [03:54] Jippen: saying "ext3 has all the features of ntfs" is like saying "natalie portman has all the sexiness of ernest borgnine" [03:54] btfx, let me look for a link relevant to that [03:54] !tab | styfle [03:54] styfle: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:54] bazhang: Thankies! [03:55] mneptok lol === u is now known as Charitwo [03:55] ubottu: oh ok thanks, i tried alt f2 and it didnt do anything [03:55] styfle: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:55] styfle, it would have opened a box ... [03:55] Jippen: WHat I was thinking of doing (Tell me if I am wrong) was to make a 100gb? partition for the OS and then once everything was configured and working fine I would image the partition for a backup in the case that the drive crashes. For the data we would keep regular backups. [03:55] arvind_khadri: i tried alt f2 and it didnt open anything [03:55] mneptok: As far as working as a FS for a samba share in a SOHO environment, its equivialnt. [03:55] Can one tell me why my comma sepertaed chans are not joined on startup? [03:55] mneptok, xborgy arvind_khadri thanks, it works now ;) [03:55] tma: sweet! [03:55] tma: smashing [03:55] tma, welcome : [03:56] i have a wireless cars ralink r73usb but the max speed is only 1mb/s it should be 54mbps [03:56] styfle, ok Applications->Acessories->Terminal [03:56] tma: my PayPal address is ... [03:56] sysop: 100gb for the OS is a whole lot more than you need, unless you are saying 100gb is os and data. [03:56] styfle, sorry for typo's [03:56] arvind_khadri: i tried that too and still nothing [03:56] i cant even turn it off lol [03:56] mneptok: lol [03:56] arvind_khadri: i think i'll just hold the power button [03:57] styfle, ok use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [03:57] jippen: sorry I am a windows guy. lol What would you suggest for OS and aps? [03:57] styfle: hit control + alt+ backspace [03:57] xborgy: nothing [03:57] mneptok, hahahah ok [03:57] sysop: Planning on it running on a command line, or would you be running a GUI on the box? [03:57] styfle, what the?? are you using Ubuntu??? [03:57] styfle is a noob [03:57] I have a question regarding aptitude repository. How do I find out who maintains ruby/jruby packages and how do I cooperate with these people to help them include the latest stuff into Ubuntu's update? [03:58] jippen: GUI for this newbie. [03:58] Wolvenhaven, :P but X should restart on that keystroke [03:58] sysop1972: laptop or desktop? [03:58] Let's say I want apt-get install ruby to install the latest 1.8.7, who do I talk to? Who makes those decisions? Can I become a maintainer myself? [03:58] Desktop [03:58] sysop1972: how much physical memory? [03:58] sysop1972: and do you care about hibernation? [03:58] 2GB Intel Quadcore [03:58] 2-3 gig should be more than enough. 5 if you wanna be really safe. Then partition the rest of your space for /home [03:59] Jippen: 2-3GB is nowhere near enough [03:59] hi all, how do i reset my alsa-base file? [03:59] btfx, check this out and the linked webpage there as well as the faq at that second link http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/admin/balance [03:59] mneptok: For gnome, X, and samba? Its plenty. [03:59] gluer: sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base [03:59] bazhang: Thanks! [04:00] anyone know why ubuntu thinks theres a blank disc in my drive after every reboot? "sudo hdparm -w /dev/cdrom1" gets rid of it and allows me to work with the drive, but its anoying to have to reset every reboot [04:00] Jippen: for /boot with a few kernels and a reasonable apt cache, it's not. and we recommend at least 7.5GB. [04:00] (for /) [04:01] AngryPunk: any firmware updates for the optical drive? [04:01] mneptok: i just did that but its not there [04:01] ekontsevoy: search for those on ubuntu.packages.com, the maintainers and contact info is available there [04:01] mneptok: how do i flush out and get rid of all the old kernels in the GRUB list,i have several in there from doing updates all the time. [04:01] Wolvenhaven: nothing came up under hardware drivers [04:01] xborgy: sudo apt-get autoremove [04:01] you ought to have a restricted wireless driver styfle [04:01] glitsj16: yes, I see that - but do these guys actually make decisions regarding including their updates into official ubuntu's update cycle? not for a next version, but for apt-get update? [04:02] you're most likely going to have to use ndiswrapper [04:02] sysop1972: I usually allocate 10 gigs for the / partition. I've never had to increase the amount, so I know that's more than enough [04:02] ah thank you now will this also remove the kernnels themself? [04:02] mneptok: latest firmware [04:02] Wolvenhaven: ok is it hard? [04:02] not really [04:02] xborgy: yes, but it will leave some fallback choices. [04:02] Is there a way to remove iTunes protection so I can play them in Ubuntu without losing quality? [04:02] thanks alot bro! [04:02] Sitherae: burn the tracks to CD and re-encode them [04:02] ekontsevoy: i guess that depends, can't say anything decisive on that one sorry [04:02] Well, mneptok, since you are obviously far surperior to me in every way, and breathe ubuntu, perhaps you would like to take over? [04:02] mneptok: ty [04:03] mneptok: I believe that removes a bit of quality. [04:03] Jippen: /whois mneptok before you start with the attitude, please. [04:03] Sitherae: yes, it does. [04:03] Jippen: he's just offering his two cents... don't take it personally. [04:03] <[TiZ]> I've installed drivers for my Sony EyeToy, and I want to use it as a microphone. If I set the input device in Audacity to "OSS: /dev/dsp1", it works great. I have to use that option, as ALSA's input device doesn't work, and neither does "USB Audio" from sound properties. But I use ALSA to play sound throughout the system. How would I go about setting "OSS: /dev/dsp1" as my default input device, AND THEN, setting Wine up to use it as well? [04:03] mneptok: I need a way to do it without removing quality :\ [04:03] Jippen: it's all about choice and variety here, right? [04:03] my keyboard has issues, I think it can be related to ubuntu [04:03] can someone have a look @ this shell script and tell me how I can mod it to make each new day (date wise) make a new directory and start to store the new day's pictures in the new folder? http://www.pastebin.ca/1076246 [04:03] I tend to get miffed the 3rd time someone tells me I'm wrong when I'm trying to help someone.

You like bits and peices of different tools. :) [04:48] <|Juan|> crd1b, ive been using ubuntu since edgy, the problem is with hardy, i even made a fresh install, updated the nvidia driver, etc [04:48] Sitherae, you need to install gnu-tls and then recompile!!! [04:48] dr_Willis; exactly [04:48] it gets to the load screeen with the sliding orange box, then the screen turns black withsome white writing [04:48] arvind_k: Can't find that package :\ [04:48] what did i do? [04:48] arvind_k, hmm, this is a very interesting situation... do you think it would be ok if we went one release lower than hardy and then did an internal upgrade? [04:49] superfirelord42, thats what the documentation suggests :P [04:49] |Juan|: it could easily be the nvidia driver causing X to segfault, but I don't know of any way to reliably determine that [04:49] arvind_k, sorry, wrong term, dist-upgrade [04:49] Sitherae, hang on [04:49] arvind_k, E: Couldn't find package glibc-dev [04:49] what do i need to download to change the way my taskbars look [04:49] noghting happens [04:49] murlidhar, hang on [04:49] arvind_k, ok... ill have him replace it if he cannot get it to work [04:49] |Juan|: have you tested iwth the 2d-only 'nv' driver?

[04:50] xborgy, been using jwm + rox lately [04:50] <|Juan|> crd1b, no, and that "2d-only" part sounds more like a problem than a solution [04:50] arvind_k, did u mean libuclibc-dev ? === mike is now known as Guest52862 === Guest52862 is now known as guy4286 [04:50] dr_Willis: cool i havent even tryed jwm how is it? [04:50] Sitherae, that is libgnutls and install its -dev too ... that would be sudo apt-get install libgnutls libgnutls-dev [04:50] choose a mirror of ubuntu archive [04:51] |Juan|: I'm not suggesting it as a solution. I'm suggesting it as a diagnostic [04:51] <|Juan|> crd1b, ive disabled 3d effect (even tried uninstalling everything compiz related and commenting out compisiting in xorg.conf [04:51] busybox v1.1.3 built in shell [04:51] then a long list of countries [04:51] xborgy, very very.. minimal. :) and can take some tweaking. [04:51] owner, and you choose one and it doesnt work? [04:51] Sitherae, hey sorry there is only -dev just install that [04:51] dr_Willis: nice,if you like minal you should try out Awesome you might like it. [04:51] owner, so you enter your country and choose a mirror, and it always doesnt work, no matter which one? [04:51] tried almost all of them [04:51] Alright, looks like I have to amend my question. [04:52] arvind_k: Alright got it. But now pidgin isn't compiling :( [04:52] yea no mater with one i just get [04:52] owner, ok, then its the bug... i think, since its unassigned, and really annoying, i may see if i can fix that bug... but for now.. lets look at a version lower [04:52] Bad archive mirrorThe specified Ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not have a valid Release file on it. Please try a different mirror. [04:52] owner, we are going to install gusty [04:52] Apparently now only one of my DVD drives is giving the no medium found [04:52] anyone know how to pad digits in a sed regex? [04:52] ok [04:52] <|Juan|> crd1b, it started happening with hardy, same system i had back from edgy, 3 different nvidia drivers [04:52] And there is nothing funny in the dmesg | tail [04:52] murlidhar, it would be this libglib2.0-0 [04:52] RadicalR, did you try the dmesg | tail ? [04:52] like s/\(\d\)/00\1/ [04:53] i can gget net boot to run now no prob there so thats good [04:53] Yes [04:53] |Juan|: which all share quite a bit of code [04:53] part [04:53] nvidia doesn't rewrite it for each version [04:53] <|Juan|> crd1b, id go as far as trying the nvidia driver that shipped with gutsy if you tell me how [04:53] arvind_k: Getting this error: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [04:53] im almost pulling my hair out to try and get my sound card to work its an alc861vd, the most i can get working is crappy noise through pc speaker, can someone point me in the right direction? [04:53] And it showed it mounting the master DVD [04:53] Sitherae, i think you should just install from the repo...it has got no problems [04:53] awesome is a floating and tiling window manager initialy based on a dwm code rewriting. It's extremely fast, small, dynamic and awesome. [04:53] alright [04:53] |Juan|: try the 'nv' driver; that will tell you whether it's an X problem or an nvidia one [04:53] ok i cant get any of these desklets or mouse pointers installed [04:53] but not the slave DVD drive... [04:54] how do I install the firefox 3.0.1 package from the firefox web site? [04:54] arvind_k: That did not fix the SSL problem :\ [04:54] <|Juan|> crd1b, how. tell me how. or better, tell me how to install the gutsy nvidia driver because i had no problem on gutsy. if it doesnt work with that its the same diagnose right [04:54] Sitherae, first uninstall the compiled version [04:54] owner, from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/, redownload all the mini.iso, linux, and initrd.gz [04:55] chipsa964: make sure u copy your plugins into the new version of FF [04:55] ok why is it after a full install when I try to update from a wirless pc on the network after like 23 updates my internet connection dies and I have to reboot the router to get it back [04:55] arvind_k, gotta download a 2 mb file . will take some time [04:55] owner, and pxelinux.cfg files [04:55] arvind_k: Using Synaptic? [04:55] arvind_k, oops 870kb to be exact [04:55] so is the ubuntu MID version actually on and devices yet? [04:55] lginn02: try looking for instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy, it has a specific section on chenging mouse cursor themes [04:55] ook [04:55] gluer, i downloaded the file, but im just not exactly sure how to install it [04:56] Chipsa964, is it a .tgz? [04:56] Sitherae, no use sudo make uninstall ...assuming that you had successfuly installed/compiled it [04:56] Chipsa964, or a tar.bz2, or a tar.gz? [04:56] arvind_k: I never installed it LOL [04:56] murlidhar, and after that install the -cli too for it :) [04:56] arvind_k: Kept getting errors with compiling [04:56] yeah tar.bz2 [04:56] Extract it and copy the folder as sudo...i forget the path..then copy your existing plugins across to the new plugins folder [04:56] |Juan|: gutsy's nvidia driver wouldn't help since you'd expect it to fail with that too. Trying 'nv' is easy: just open /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find Section "Device", and set the Driver line to Driver "nv" [04:56] Chipsa964, where did you save it? [04:56] arvind_k, k ;) [04:56] desktop [04:57] Sitherae, then delete the source and use synaptic to install pidgin [04:57] Chipsa964, in the terminal, do cd Desktop...

[04:59] But the bottom one doesn't produce any errors [05:00] Just "Sorry, pal. I don't feel like wokrin'" [05:00] *workin' === co_mboies is now known as c3w_cannnttttttt [05:00] Sitherae, murlidhar, there is a power cut here ...gotta go... sorry ... [05:00] RadicalR, when you try to mount it, when you get hte error, we need to see the dmesg | tail, thats where we find out [05:00] t41 wlan drivers - where can i get those (if they exist) [05:00] arvind_k: Seeya [05:00] Did that. [05:00] arvind_k, k cya [05:00] That dmesg | tail was AFTER I tried mounting it. [05:00] Chipsa964, follow gluer's instructions, i think he knows where to put it better... [05:00] Is there a way I can take a variable In bash and get the size in bytes without dumping it to a file first? [05:01] RadicalR, it looked like it found it according to that... so whats hte console error [05:01] ok [05:01] <|Juan|> crd1b, screen res is messed up badly on nv [05:01] thanks [05:01] Tell you what, I'll try to mount it manually again and pastebin that.

[05:01] gluer, i downloaded the .tar.bz2 file to my desktop, so what do i do now? [05:01] anyone know anything about getting alsa to work? [05:01] any good partitioner for linux that can be used to create ntfs hdd [05:02] !alsa | gluer [05:02] trying ftp [05:02] extract it to desktop [05:02] gluer: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[05:02] hello all, i was wondering if it is possible to run two different desktop enviroments on two different monitors on one computer [05:02] copy the folder across to /usr/lib [05:03] afraid i might lose the file structure if i do it manually [05:03] |Juan|: that doesn't matter. It allows you to test user-switching with a non-nvidia driver [05:03] then copy the existing plugin files across to the new plugin folder [05:03] d600: sudo apt-get install ntfsutils. Then you can use mkfs.ntfs [05:03] murlidhar: a header file [05:03] can some1 help me [05:03] d600: what i always use is the package manager search and i would type ntfs [05:03] so each monitor has their own virtual desktops and whatnot [05:03] how do i veiw deleted and saved texts andd any other useful info on moto4lin?? [05:03] RadicalR, strange... you said its usb? can you unplug, then plug it back in, then give me a dmesg | tail [05:03] Nope. [05:03] two different xservers? === mike is now known as Guest78610 [05:03] <|Juan|> crd1b, the problem is not really user switching. its random [05:03] It's on IDE cables. [05:03] RadicalR, oh.. sorry... [05:03] fr05tbyt3, should be. probably tricky to set up though [05:04] Sitherae, edit the menu by right clicking on applications === Guest78610 is now known as guy4286 [05:04] chipsa964: then point the icon path to the new path [05:04] RadicalR, what brand and model cd drive is it? do you know? [05:04] gluer, copy the .tar.bz2 file to /usr/lib? [05:04] wols_, and where can i get the header file ? [05:04] murlidhar: No I meant like in /home/user/Programs/Pidgin [05:04] chipsa964: no extract it to the desktop [05:04] I can find out. One sec. [05:04] owner, so are you downloading the tree again then? [05:04] what will be the core diffference in gusty and hardy [05:04] uknow [05:04] <|Juan|> crd1b, if i lock my session and go to "change user" sometimes it crashes without even changing the user, which lets me to think that it happens whenever gdmflexiserver is invoked [05:04] i hopping not [05:05] then use nautilus as sudo to copy the folder across to /usr/lib [05:05] Sitherae: /home/user/Programs/ isn't generated by anything I know in ubuntu [05:05] Sitherae, is it there in applications menu? [05:05] owner, the core diffrence, is once you get gusty working.. (which works pretty well), you will dist-upgrade to hardy [05:05] gluer, ok, one sec [05:05] murlidhar: Yeah. even after I removed it with Synaptic [05:05] hehe [05:05] murlidhar: And it still starts Pidgin. So pidgin is still installed :\ [05:05] owner, the major issue i know major diffrent that causes issues, is that hardy uses pulseaudio, which hates wine... [05:05] Is there a way I can take a variable In bash and get the size in bytes without dumping it to a file first? [05:05] chipsa964: thats just the way i got it working ;-) [05:05] thats a good one I needed that [05:05] how do i veiw deleted and saved texts andd any other useful info on moto4lin?? [05:06] whats the cmd to list all usb drives to see where they are mounted at??? [05:06] i uninstall driver but still can see in lsmod..any idea? [05:06] angah, have you rebooted? [05:06] chipsa964: maybe rename the existing ff folder you dont want to overwrite it ;-) [05:06] btw i just looked in gparted and it does have ntfs [05:06] hey.... I'm trying to setup vmware-server on my server, and I'm trying to understand the networking setup... I have a server have many static IP addresses on there (i.e. eth0:0-eth0:30), and I want to assign one to a vmware server... do I use bridged or NAT? [05:06] so he needs to look harder [05:07] bridged takes one, nat creates a virtual internal [05:07] superfirelord42: yes [05:07] Sitherae, got not idea then :( [05:07] superfirelord42: let me try again [05:07] so how do I assign which one the bridged one takes? [05:07] aent, if you want to set up to use a certine interaface, you want bridged... [05:08] <^Juan^> crd1b, it happened right on gdm after locking! [05:08] aent, not sure on that... it should be in the vmware manuals on net... they may be able to help you more on the vmware channel... (i think we have one) [05:08] I removed Pidgin with Synaptic but it's still installed. And can be executed with the "pidgin" command [05:08] superfirelord42, LG (FOR) DVD-ROM DRD8160B [05:08] ok thanks [05:08] <^Juan^> crd1b, with the nv driver [05:08] RadicalR, hold on.. [05:08] What's interesting is the the system detects the drive [05:08] how do i veiw deleted and saved texts andd any other useful info on moto4lin?? [05:08] but no media [05:08] suggest a dreamweaver alternative? [05:08] <^Juan^> crd1b, now what [05:09] Quanta+ [05:09] RadicalR, strange.... [05:09] RadicalR, their is a filed bug about that drive running very slowly in hardy [05:09] well, perhaps I should file a bug that it doesn't work at all! XD [05:09] But what's odd is that it used to work before === ^Juan^ is now known as |Juan| [05:10] RadicalR, it may work, im just saying.. i noticed that... lets look a little longer first [05:10] <|Juan|> crd1b, it happened right on gdm after locking with the nv driver [05:10] scifiguy951: which phone? [05:10] |Juan|: I really have no idea where the problem could be now :/ [05:10] RadicalR, dmesg | grep sr1 [05:10] <|Juan|> crd1b, so how do i get some damn attention [05:10] razor v3r [05:10] !patience | superfirelord42 [05:10] superfirelord42: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[05:15] hi, i'm having troubles booting ubuntu hardy, someone told me that could be a problem with my wide screen and the frecuency some one have more info about it? [05:15] angah, hehe... openSolaris? anyways, is your wireless card in your machine? [05:15] Dr4k3n: from the boot menu, boot into rescue mode, see if that works [05:16] Dr4k3n: not until you give more info [05:16] Dr4k3n: can you be more specific about what the problem is? [05:16] superfirelord42: yes [05:16] angah, thats why then... if its in your machine, its using the driver, and it cannot be removed from the kernel [05:16] angah: if you are using OpenSolaris, this isn't the right channel [05:16] levander, i think that was a joke [05:17] levander, the shell prompt looked ubuntuish... [05:17] superfirelord42: ic..it's not openSolaris..i just named it [05:17] angah: 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop' to turn off your network connections. === murlidhar is now known as Guest51535 [05:17] angah, are you doing irc from that machine at the molment [05:17] ? [05:17] angah: then maybe you can remove wlan [05:17] superfirelord42: i use eth0 right now.. [05:17] well my problem is that when i boot from live cd i can select languaje and get in the menu.. i select install and there is no more.. it give me a black screen [05:18] "~$ LC_ALL=C sudo make menuconfig; make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop" What do I wrongly? [05:18] levander: cannot remove..show fatal error [05:18] levander: if i boot in rescue mode it works fine [05:18] angah: did you shut down networking? [05:18] levander: nop [05:18] angah, then if you follow levanders command you will be disconnected untill you do sudo /etc/init.d/networking start afterwards [05:18] superfirelord42, did you happen to find anything? [05:18] Or were you waiting for me? [05:18] Dr4k3n: Are you seeing a graphical or text display when you use the LiveCD? [05:18] superfirelord42: i know that [05:19] RadicalR, yeah, waiting for you dmesg | grep sr1 please.. [05:19] angah: That's probably what's using wlan so that you can't remove it is your network connection. [05:19] angah, just ckecking [05:19] levander, hehe, he went offline === murlidhar_ is now known as murlidhar [05:20] levander: when i boot with live cd.. it boot fine... until the menu to install.. but when i select install it don't work [05:20] My buddies in Emesene do not show up [05:20] phew [05:20] Dr4k3n: Do you know what I mean when I say graphical vs. text on the screen? [05:20] owner, any luck [05:20] i understand [05:20] superfirelord42: Think he's figured out that when he turns off networking that he loses his internet connection yet? [05:21] levander, i made sure to tell him first [05:21] levander: i understand what u mean [05:21] i found that when i turn off the monitor i can't see things [05:21] Dr4k3n: Do you ever get to a graphical screen from the LiveCD? [05:21] i might have some netwrok issues [05:21] owner, same errors? [05:21] jbroome: really ? ;) [05:21] Dr4k3n: | doesn't work [05:21] this seems to be getting worse and worse by the minute, now nothing will start everything crashes on launch except xchat, pidgin and eterm. [05:21] sometimes but i have tu restart a lot if times [05:21] my ft client is not working [05:22] jbroome: i see a black screen on my monitor. the rest can be seen perfectly by me [05:22] is there a way to fix the flash sound issue? [05:22] Blaqlight: did you cleanout the session cache ? [05:22] owner, how did you get it to work yesterday? [05:22] Dr4k3n: on a command prompt, try this: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh' - that reconfigures X-Windows (the program responsible for the low-level graphical stuff) [05:22] owner, sorry, the day before yesterday [05:22] may its bcos i have the tftp server running [05:22] l815: is it just one site or like youtube too? [05:22] qemu isn't working well for me so I'm wanting to find another program to run winXP on ubuntu with... what would any of you recommend??? [05:22] glitsj16, how do I do that? [05:23] levander: ok i'll try [05:23] fwaokda: kvm is the recommended one [05:23] owner, could be, but i doubt it... [05:23] fwaokda: it's what ubuntu has put the most work into integrating [05:23] Blaqlight: look for a the .cache/sessions dir in you user dir and remove them [05:23] glitsj16, the system log is mysteriously empty. I mean completely empty not on word. [05:23] cpierce, i mean when i play flash in firefox, I can't play music or any other audio without closing firefox first [05:23] owner, tftp is UDP, FTP is TCP, one is not routable, the other is able to be used across the web, i doubt they are interfearing... [05:23] levander, well I can't get any of my usb devices to load on a consistent basis [05:23] levander: xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [05:23] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080718222323 [05:23] owner, if anything is, its hte dhcp server... [05:24] well it was a matter of the folders and how the boot file was named [05:24] so i restart now? [05:24] yeah [05:24] ur right [05:24] i will turn it off [05:24] levander, I need a usb external hdd to load up and a zune device I have but it always says it can't load them. [05:24] Blaqlight: odd indeed .. try clearing the sesson files you see in there, not the dir itself [05:24] fwaokda: USB is tricky through emulation. I'm using VirtualBox (about to switch to kvm) and I had to monkey around with it to get it to work. [05:25] levander: that could fix my problem? [05:25] cya buddies . gotta go . [05:25] fwaokda: Does the zune device talk UMS? I couldn't get an MTP device to talk to virtual box. [05:25] levander, have no idea that sounds like it's over my head. [05:25] levander, i thought zune was USB? [05:25] levander: i remove modules but it still show in lsmod [05:25] Dr4k3n: If you're having trouble getting a graphical display, that problem, every single time I've seen it, has been configuring X. [05:25] can anyone here help me a bit with acidrip, or perhaps give me another channel where someone can? [05:26] superfirelord42, ya it is usb [05:26] Dr4k3n: Very rarely I've seen graphics cards that just won't work with X. I've never seen a monitor that won't work with X. [05:26] levander: look i already installed ubuntu [05:26] when i try to boot [05:26] angah: You 'sudo rmmod wlan' and wlan is in the output of lsmod? [05:26] levander, qemu and VBox have a way to pipe USB through [05:26] in normal mode it give me a black screen too [05:27] Dr4k3n: That very well could be a problem in your X config. Did you try the dpkg-reconfigure command? [05:27] Dr4k3n: it is most probably because of settings with your graphics adapter, not with your monitor. [05:27] superfirelord42, well I read your supposed to use this command, "-usbdevice host:bus.adr but it always says it can't open it. [05:27] ok i understand [05:27] superfirelord42: Yeah, I got VBox to do it, but only with UMS devices, not with an MTP device. [05:27] levander: need to reboot back.. [05:27] my laptop screen has 2 refresh rates (58 and 60), which should I choose? === lulz is now known as Guest30374 [05:27] well i'll try to reboot again.. with the change that u give me levander [05:27] superfirelord42: Your external hard drive will be UMS, I don't know what zune uses. [05:27] fwaokda, i think thats the command for QEMU [05:28] superfirelord42, ya thats what im currently using [05:28] Dr4k3n: try having someone give you a plain vanilla xorg.conf. [05:28] l815: 60. [05:28] Dr4k3n: no, don't reboot [05:28] fwaokda, oh, i thought yall where using vbox [05:28] levander: ok [05:28] SeveredCross, thanks [05:28] omfg I think I found the problem. I tried to open up audacious and guess what.. says there is a GTK Engine issue. [05:28] Dr4k3n: directly after running that command, you should be able to do a 'startx' and see if X-Windows is working. [05:28] look i'll try to explain more.. i have a ati radeon 9200 se of 128 mb [05:28] You're welcome l815. [05:29] ppl in the qemu channel aren't usually "talkative" when it comes to questions would ppl in the kvm channel mind if I asked them qemu questions you think? [05:29] RadicalR, did it work? [05:29] Dr4k3n: Sounds like you want the radeon driver. [05:29] so then how do I fix the GTK engine to display right? [05:29] levander: right now i'm in graphical mode [05:29] it works fine [05:29] Dr4k3n: well, what's the problem then? [05:29] the problem is booting [05:29] y only can boot in recovery mode [05:29] fwaokda, probably, the smaller channels take more patiance, i have seen people go over an hour in #winehq for someone to get on [05:29] Blaqlight: well that's something to work with i guess, i gotta go to the work .. hope you can get things back to normal, goodluck [05:29] bye all [05:29] when i boot in recovery mode.. then select boot normal.. it work fine [05:30] Dr4k3n: have you played with your usplash screen at all? [05:30] i am going to reboot my machine i will be back [05:30] hey, i found this to fix my problem with the vertical scroll not working, but does anbody know about horizontal? [05:30] http://computerboom.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-to-enable-mouse-wheel-scrolling-in.html [05:30] levander: no [05:30] owner, ok [05:30] i didn't touched my splash [05:30] Dr4k3n: 'dmesg | less' and see if you see any errors [05:30] ok [05:30] specifically, this is VMware. [05:30] CoolFox, did you install the vmware tools? [05:31] this window manager uses various elements from Gnome including the GTK theme engine. I can't change the GTK theme engine from within here and I can't get Gnome to fully load. what do I do now? [05:31] not gonna. [05:31] its not stable. [05:31] it crashes every damn time i try to install it. [05:31] is ext3 better than ntfs? [05:31] AMDpenguin: yes [05:31] CoolFox, the OS crashes, or the install crashes? [05:31] I find ext3 survives more crashes than ntfs [05:31] which os? [05:32] could someone explain to me the usage of ~ and where it leads? like ~/.ssh ? [05:32] ubuntu boots incorectly. [05:32] CoolFox, when you install the vmware tools, the guest [05:32] Dr4k3n: you can try editing the grub menu and taking off the 'splash' and 'quiet'off the boot options for the normal boot grub profile. I think maybe change splash to nosplash is what I've done in the past. [05:32] DJ_HaMsTa, that expands to your home dir [05:32] DJ_HaMsTa: its an alias to your homedir [05:32] DJ_HaMsTa: ~ = "my user home directory" [05:32] ah i see [05:32] thank you [05:32] Dr4k3n: that way, the splash screen isn't hiding any errors [05:32] DJ_HaMsTa, so ~ == /home/DJ_HaMsTa [05:32] anyone have any idea how to fix this GTK theme engine problem? [05:32] how do I switch between compiz and x? [05:33] ubuntu crashes on the reboot right after installing. [05:33] Sitherae: compiz runs on top of x [05:33] after creating a /.ssh how come when im home i type dir or ls and i dont see .ssh ? [05:33] Sitherae: you don't. they always run at the same time [05:33] Sitherae: you don't switch between the two [05:33] wo xiang zhi dao zen me da zi [05:33] I follow the instructions to the letter, and this is off of a VIRGIN install. [05:33] levander: Then how do I get rid of it? [05:33] !cn > a_robot [05:33] a_robot, please see my private message [05:33] Sitherae: get rid of what? [05:33] DJ_HaMsTa: Because . folders are hidden. [05:33] Anything prefixed with a . is hidden from normal ls. [05:33] chinese [05:33] levander: How do I stop compiz? [05:33] You need ls -a to see hidden folders. [05:33] china [05:33] My music players won't play music. Rhythmbox errors "Failed to connect stream: invalid argument." This started today. [05:33] Sitherae: Alt-F2, metacity --replace [05:33] Sitherae: turn off effects in the UI settings [05:33] SeveredCross, sorry to bother again, but does it matter if its 58 or 60 on LCD? === crd1b is now known as crdlb [05:34] l815: 60 is the technical native resolution of all LCD's. [05:34] a+robot: what china? [05:34] SeveredCross: ty [05:34] CoolFox, strange, i have used them before, well have you installed only peices of it before, like just the mouse driver? [05:34] Sitherae: In Gutsy (I'm not on Hardy yet), go to System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effect Settings and choose "None". [05:34] Sitherae: I think that's what you want. [05:34] hey anyone know how to change my grub splash with hardy!? [05:34] SeveredCross, oh okay, just asking because 58 was default [05:34] mouse driver? [05:34] Anyone gets flickering after waking up from suspending in Hardy? I don't have nVidia... [05:35] blah I think I'm gonna go with virtualbox over qemu see if it works for me better. Can I keep my windows.img I've already installed to use with virtualbox or do I have to reinstall it for Vbox? [05:35] CoolFox, yeah, basicly the VMware installer installs a bunch of drivers [05:35] unsungx: easiest way is to sudo apt-get install startup-manager [05:35] fwaokda: reinstall [05:35] i've been using it without anything. [05:35] CoolFox, you can just install the mouse driver... i dont remember how though... [05:35] levander, how do I uninstall all the qemu stuff on my computer and get rid of the windows.img ? [05:35] to transfer files, i've set upa little network. get a little slow since it has to go across my wireless router, but its been sufficent [05:35] hey I just installed Hardy Heron and it's being a bitch, wtf: http://www.pastebin.org/52592 [05:36] why are those packages not installable [05:36] fwaokda: 'sudo apt-get remove qemu', and you can just remove the windows.img like a regular file [05:36] it does it for other programs too [05:36] i.e. samba [05:36] levander, where is the .img likely located at? [05:36] meh, i'm gonna make a new install and try to install it again. [05:36] superfirelord42, did what work? [05:36] You didn't tell me to do anything ~_~ [05:36] experiment around a bit. [05:36] mneptok: You still here? [05:36] RadicalR, did the command return a list of events for sr1? [05:37] I'm sorry, I didn't get the command? [05:37] RadicalR, dmesg | grep sr1 [05:37] fwaokda: 'locate "*img"' [05:37] RadicalR, hehe... its hard to catch stuff in here sometimes... [05:37] levander, thanks! [05:37] namire: make sure universe and multiverse are enabled, then do a 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [05:37] how do I check how many disks I have in this server? [05:37] As of today, all my music players/browsers are unable to play any of my tracks.

[05:40] RadicalR, it could, that could be the root of the issue [05:40] Well, I had to use all_generic_ide [05:41] ad orang INDO nggak? [05:41] at the boot prompt. [05:41] RadicalR, wha? it sees it as SCSI. what do you mean it sees it as IDE if its SCSI? [05:41] how do check how many disks I have in my server?

[05:49] *no wriky [05:49] anyone want to help me wiht a networking question? I do a hostname -d and it provides my isp's hostname. Because of this, i am not able to ping other computers in my network (behind a router) by hostname. any suggestions on how i can solve this? === Tikek is now known as superfirelord42_ [05:49] why does it keep randomly changing my nick? [05:49] I suppose Pulseaudio is hated here? [05:49] RadicalR, pulseaudio? why? [05:49] Im having trouble with it. [05:49] RadicalR, it has some compat issues with some apps is the main problem.. like wine [05:50] i need a program that will make ntfs filesystems [05:50] I can only have one application to have sound at a time. [05:50] No, I mean ANY one program [05:50] RadicalR: hardy? [05:50] so does anybody know how to get a system sound to play when closeing windows, or is this just not possible under gnome [05:50] Yes [05:50] RadicalR: set PA to default [05:50] RadicalR, pulseaudio doesnt cause that... a diffrent audio is causing that... [05:51] theres a wiki that gives you ideas on what to do and IIRC it gives you help with some problems i think [05:51] superfirelord42_: pulse audio fixes that [05:51] gnomefreak, yeah... i know... i didnt see your response before mine.... sry.. [05:51] Yeah, it doesn't like to work though [05:52] lg === namire is now known as name_name [05:52] need program that will make ntfs partitions [05:52] test? [05:52] d600, did you try gparted? [05:52] name_name, we see test? [05:52] RadicalR: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [05:52] Hmm, it doesn't like to work like that... [05:52] gparted doesnt make ntfs [05:53] Hi. I have Ubuntu Server edition running in a vmware under windows. It was working fine for a long time and now I got nothing. I cant ping it and I cant access the site. How might I go about debugging this? [05:53] TigranG, does it boot? [05:54] Is it booted? :P [05:54] lol [05:54] Yea, I can see that samba is running, apache2 is running. They're all configured the same way. But nothing. [05:54] SeveredCross, i am hoping he knows if its not booted... hehe.. [05:54] how do I disable cups on a server ? [05:54] I installed vmware on ubuntu hardy and started the server . Even the management interface on browser opens up. but for some reason console doesn't open . WHy? [05:54] Can someone help me figure out how I get the drive icon on my desktop that I created for a partition I just mounted? [05:54] hello everyone... anybody up for providing me with some help on fstab? i have tried google on how to get the uuid.. [05:54] TigranG, can the ubuntu box reach the network? [05:54] does anyone know how to get free ringtones for verizon wireless? [05:54] I created a mount point in /media and edited fstab but no desktop icon [05:55] TigranG, and do you have it set up as a NAT or a bridge? [05:55] Bridge [05:55] superfirelord42_: I see why its not working [05:55] what [05:55] TigranG, why? [05:55] how can I tell ubuntu to treat the actual time in the CPU clock as the IST time? currently, it is treating the CPU clock as UTC time. [05:55] superfirelord42_: Nvm. Its on a different network now somehow, 192.168.100.10, my network is 192.168.1.x [05:55] exit [05:55] superfirelord42_: dunno how it changed :S [05:56] TigranG, at least it didnt virtually catch on fire... [05:56] tem algum brasileiro por ai? [05:56] how could i make ntfs gparted doesnt support ntfs [05:56] superfirelord42_: lol [05:56] Spaceraver: in terminal sudo blkid [05:57] thx [05:57] anyone around that will help me with a routing issue? #iptables and #netfilter have been dead for hours, its 7am and ive been trying to get this working all night (and 2 weeks before today) :/ [05:57] So starting just now, VLC is the only music player I have that will recognize either tracks or playlists. All the media browsers I've tried (the one that populate their own libraries and stuff) will not play songs. Rhythmbox errors "Failed to connect stream: invalid argument." Why might this be? [05:58] anyone knows how do disable a service like cupsys? in sol 10 svcadm disable service does that .. so it sticks a reboot [05:58] Caphi, where are you trying to play it from [05:58] my sound gets disabled when coming back from hibernation....how can i fix this? [05:58] Where am I trying to play it from? Out of the library in the browser. [05:59] I've even cleared the library and had it repopulate it. The songs are still broken. [05:59] The files still exist, VLC plays them and playlists just fine. [05:59] the library in the browser, from a website? [05:59] why my ubuntu no worky!\ [05:59] @__@ [05:59] No, like Rhythmbox and Banshee. [05:59] ello all, I've started using vsftpd with my Ubuntu server installs but I've encountered a puzzling problem. Perhaps you guys can help? Uploading a single file to the vsftp server goes fast. But if I upload many small files the transfer rates drop to a few bytes per second and then eventually times out. Any ideas why this would be? I've replicated this on 3 servers so far. [05:59] Media browsers, you see. [05:59] Caphi, sorry, file browser... [05:59] !vmware [05:59] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [06:00] Caphi, what types of media, acc? mp3? [06:00] ok fixed the GTK-theme problem yet nothing will actually load. it now seems that everything is broken [06:00] mp3, mostly. Banshee was working just yesterday. [06:00] !VLC [06:00] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [06:01] Shinpo, the smaller the files, the more stops and starts it has, that explains the speed... but timeout, im not sure on that... [06:01] Caphi, what could have changed between today and yesterday? [06:01] Anyone know how I get my disk icon to show up on my desktop for a partition I mounted in /Media [06:01] Question, what is the command line for Pulseaudio Preferences? [06:01] Dunno. I restarted today to let some updates through. [06:01] It's not in the menu. [06:01] I can't get nautilus to load so I cannot get to the lists of files. therefore I cannot fix the possible session issue either. [06:01] gnub: in terminal gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible check volumes visible box [06:02] Caphi, hmmm. i wonder what updates [06:02] does anyone know how to tell the last updates a computer with ubuntu took? [06:02] The last few days worth. It's been asking for a restart for that long. [06:02] superfirelord42. thanks, that's kinda what I figured but didn't think the transfer speeds would take such a hit. [06:03] Shinpo, but it doesnt explain hte timout though... [06:03] legend2440, volumes visable is checked, I have 2 other paritions on my desktop just not this oen [06:03] Shinpo, i think that could be a bug [06:03] Caphi, the thing is, if that was the most recent system change, there is a good chance the problem came from them... [06:03] superfirelord42, Hrm, I'll try installing a different FTP server and see what happens. [06:04] so if we know what they are, we narrow down the possible problems [06:04] Shinpo-> what client do you use to xfer files? [06:05] thats a good point... the client could cause hte timeout... [06:05] my sound gets disabled when coming back from hibernation....how can i fix this? [06:05] gnub: if you want to paste /etc/fstab i can take a look. as you know if its mounted in /media it should show [06:05] legend2440, could be a permissions issue, if hte folder is under root... === superfirelord42_ is now known as superfirelord42 [06:06] amenado, I was using Cyberduck (on a mac) and then I also tried Transmit, CaptianFTP, Yummy, Fetch and then command line FTP. All performed the same, except the command line version, I kept getting "Illegal PORT Command try using PASV" [06:06] /dev/sda3 /media/Data ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [06:07] One disk icon on the desktop has no information in fstab [06:07] gnub, did you create the folder as root? [06:07] Good news, firefox isn't crashing anymore. [06:07] Bad news, I'm still not getting audio [06:07] Shinpo-> am not familiar with mac clients..do you have another os with an ftp client you can try perhaps? [06:07] superfirelord42, I created it as sudo so ya [06:07] gnub: as superfirelord42 said check permissions of Data [06:08] drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 2008-07-18 11:02 Data [06:08] Yeah, I've got my mac triple booted. OSX, Vista (blah!) and Ubuntu 7.10.. I'll try it in one of those. [06:09] looks right [06:09] i think.... (its been a while) [06:09] ...so that was me restarting, on a whim. [06:09] And it all works now. [06:09] I can see the data if I go into /media/Data just wondering why the icon doesnt show up on the desktop [06:09] Caphi, really? [06:09] Quite so. I am listening to Rhythmbox right now. [06:09] Caphi, its amazing what restarts do, on windows, or linux... [06:09] Darndest thing. [06:10] gnub: did you reboot since creating Data folder? [06:10] legend2440, negative [06:11] Well, thanks for your time. [06:11] And now, I take my leave. [06:11] gnub: or try sudo mount -a [06:11] did that too [06:12] gnub: how about sudo umount -a then sudo mount -a [06:12] if a Access Point served as a Repeater.. will I be able to connect a wifi client to it?? [06:12] anyone here use a lapboard to place their laptop on while sitting on the couch? Looking for a recommendation. [06:13] I am just install 804 server. I am doing a manual partition on a 320GB drive for a file server to windows workstations. Could someone please give me info as to what partitions to make? [06:14] sysop1972: only one hard drive?? [06:14] not configured in raid?? [06:14] legend2440, that worked [06:14] hmm... i have firefox 3 on 64-bit hardy, and i got no sound in flash [06:14] So where am I normally supposed to create mount points, in /mnt or /media [06:14] a file server needs a nice raid setup for security of data [06:14] like whats the difference [06:15] r2s: I will be adding another 320gb later for more storage. So I would like some of the primary drive to work as data storage also [06:15] gnub: as far as i know /media [06:15] r2s, what was that about an access point? [06:15] sysop1972: I mean RAID... like mirroring 3 320GB hard drive [06:15] superfirelord42: if a Access Point served as a Repeater.. will I be able to connect a wifi client to it?? [06:15] you should be able to... [06:16] r2s: I know but we arent doing the raid thing.. just backups and an image of the drive when it is all working [06:16] r2s, you should, it partially depends whether you its repeating to another access point, or its just acting as an extender [06:16] r2s, I would look into WDS if your looking into extending the range of your wifi, I've got that setup to connect my xbox to my wifi network without buying their expensive adapter. [06:16] superfirelord42: I got this setup => bldg A (AP)---> Bldg B...(AP=Repeater) [06:16] ok [06:16] sysop1972: hmm [06:17] gnub: The /mnt directory and its subdirectories are intended for use as the temporary mount points for mounting storage devices, such as CDROMs, floppy disks and USB (universal serial bus) key drives. [06:17] r2s: could you help me with the partitioning? [06:17] sysop1972: sure.. but if you wish it's expandable later.. I suggest you a LVM setup [06:17] I thought it was the other way around [06:17] isnt /media for that [06:17] gnub: http://www.linfo.org/mnt.html [06:18] gnub, if i recall, media is for more permante mount points [06:18] r2s: like 200MB = /boot 4GB=SWAP the rest in LVM [06:18] r2s: With the lvm I worry that if one drive goes it will also take down the 2nd drive [06:18] sysop1972:like 200MB = /boot 4GB=SWAP the rest in LVM [06:18] gnub, so your cdrom drive would goto media... if you where making a quick iso, it would goto mount [06:19] gnub, and diffrent distros treat it diffrently, if you use feather linux (a debian dirivitive), you fill find no /media and all mountpoints are in /mnt [06:19] sysop1972: no lvm is use to make the main partition .(example home) expandable later if you want to add new drives later) [06:19] while playing music my laptop gets hotter, is this normal behavior? [06:19] sysop1972-> try lvm and limit the partitions (8e) to like 40gig each to make it flexible [06:19] I see [06:19] hui [06:20] andra, ? [06:20] I heard that from a friend that with 8.04, you can install ubuntu without making a seperate partition and that you can uninstall it in "Add/Remove Programs" [06:20] Is this true? [06:20] User__, you are talking about wubi [06:20] User__: That is called wubi [06:20] its a special ubuntu installer [06:20] http://wubi-installer.org/ [06:20] sysop1972: example setup:.... 200MB ext3 /boot 4GB swap 20GB ext3 / or root the rest create an LVM group and logical volume like basys and use the rest of HDD [06:20] !wubi | User__ [06:20] User__: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [06:21] Is it hard to add a drive later on if I don't use lvm? [06:21] What should my fstab entry look like for another ext3 partition [06:21] exampke you still got 240GB free.. you c [06:21] I have /dev/sda5 /media/name but what do I put after that [06:21] anyone want to help me wiht a networking question? I do a hostname -d and it provides my isp's hostname. Because of this, i am not able to ping other computers in my network (behind a router) by hostname. any suggestions on how i can solve this? [06:22] gnub UUID= /media/name ext3 defaults 0 2 [06:22] gnub you can find the device uuid with sudo blkid [06:22] sysop1972: yeah.. in case your current /home (which users store all their data) are full.. and you just add another drive.. you might create another directory like /home2 .. but cannot be /home [06:23] sysop1972: but in LVM you just add the new drive in you LVM group and nothing more to be done [06:23] r2s: so without lvm I would need to create new shared folders? A new drive would not increase the space in the old shares? [06:23] hi how cna I make my wine menu show? [06:23] my sound gets disabled when coming back from hibernation....how can i fix this? [06:24] derekS-> how many interfaces does your host have? [06:24] nickrud, What if the folder I created in /media has a space so its /media/Data 2 [06:24] r2s: and with LVM adding a new drive would automatically increase the storage in my old shares? [06:24] fstab doesnt like that when I try to mount it [06:24] sysop1972: in LVM you can maintain the same directory like all user uses /HOME... even adding new space for hard drive [06:24] gnub /media/Data\040\2 [06:24] sysop1972: r2s: and with LVM adding a new drive would automatically increase the storage in my old shares? ----- YES [06:25] hi folks [06:25] gnub erm, /media/Data\0402 that is, no second slash [06:25] r2s, sysop1972, not automatically. [06:25] r2s: is it stable? [06:25] nickrud, what does \0402 tell fstab to do? [06:25] amenado: what do you mean how many interfaces does my host have? [06:25] amenado: i have one nic card [06:25] superfirelord42 it's ascii for SPACE [06:25] Flannel: r2s, sysop1972, not automatically. Yeah need to do some partition management.. and volume management [06:25] nickrud, ah, ty.. [06:25] derekS, look in the file /etc/hostname and see what it says in there. That should hold the desired hostname, then make the appropriate changes in /etc/hosts [06:26] superfirelord42 if my memory serves [06:26] boot [06:26] sysop1972: r2s: is it stable? --he'll yeah [06:26] r2s: Even if you add it to your volume group, logical volumes need not increase in size [06:26] while playing music my laptop gets hotter, is this normal behavior? [06:26] derekS-> if you have one interface, what is its ip address? and is it the gateway or better yet, can you elaborate on your network layout? [06:26] Hey guys, I'm trying to configure my three network interfaces via the network manager, after messing with the manual configuration tool, I think I got them all to work, but now my wireless interfaces won't connect. Either nothing happens, or they get a 169.254 address, anyone know what I can do? The vantage point is great, I've had measly internal laptop wifi connect from worse places.... [06:26] ...http://pastebin.com/m2ac7c394 [06:26] Flannel: Flannel: r2s: Even if you add it to your volume group, logical volumes need not increase in size -- Yeah [06:26] Shinpo: /etc/hostname has the right information, and i don't want to hardcode [06:26] nickrud, yep that did it [06:26] hi installed wine but the menu aint showing in my ubuntu how cna I make it show? [06:27] r2s: Ok this might be a lot to ask but I am at the setup screen.. could you step me through this so I dont screw it up? [06:27] l815: CD music? [06:27] Thanks guys, I think I understand mounting a partition and fstab much better now [06:27] gnub if I may, I really suggest not using spaces in directories, they can be a pain [06:27] btfx, no banshee [06:27] Baby_Shambl3s, have you installed apps into wine yet? [06:27] l815: mp3 encoded? [06:27] sysop1972: hmm... [06:27] nickrud, how so [06:27] superfirelord42: yeap plenty of them which dont show or act as they are supposed to [06:27] can anyone tell me why generating locales takes up 100% cpu, but as far as i can see there is no disk io [06:27] amenado: i have one router (old netgear) with 4 ethernet ports. I then have 4 computers attached to the ethernet ports. They all have hostnames setup properly in /etc/hostname. I want to ping comp1 from comp2 and have it go throuhg [06:27] sysop1972: I'll be gone in a minute or two.. seek help for other in here... [06:27] l815: mp3s take more cpu to decode than you may think, your comp is far fro idling when you play music [06:27] without using ip address [06:28] r2s: so can we keep the system information in a partition that doesnt use the lvm so I cam image the partition? [06:28] gnub-> spaces are not normally used for filenames or directory names in linux systems [06:28] gnub like cp /media/Data 2 won't work as you expect, you'd have to remember to use /media/Data\ 2 every time. [06:28] btfx, yah mp3's and such. So I guess the answer is yes. Thanks :) [06:28] derekS, when you are trying to ping the other systems on the network are you trying to ping their hostnames or IP addresses? [06:28] sysop1972: and LVM cannot be performed using the LiveCD of ubuntu [06:28] n/p [06:28] Baby_Shambl3s, to get them to show up, most people make .desktop files, but hte most common way of execing a wine program, is wine program.exe [06:28] Shinpo: hostnames, obviously [06:28] gnub, because while deleting them you will have to use escape sequences :P [06:28] Hey guys, I'm trying to configure my three network interfaces via the network manager, after messing with the manual configuration tool, I think I got them all to work, but now my wireless interfaces won't connect. Either nothing happens, or they get a 169.254 address, anyone know what I can do? The vantage point is great too. http://pastebin.com/m2ac7c394 [06:28] Baby_Shambl3s, you can make links to this command on your desktop if you prefer as apposed to opening a terminal [06:28] Spaceraver, it's a bug, happened to me while upgrading [06:29] So I should just change them so there are no spaces basically [06:29] yep [06:29] superfirelord42: i wnat it to show in my app menu it creates the desktop icons but it doesnt show in my app menu [06:29] is there a workaround HappyHater? [06:29] Hi, does anyone know how to install the driver for a Nvidia 9600GT in Hardy? The nvidia-glx-new package from the repos does not work. [06:29] Why is there no contents in my /var/log/boot? [06:29] Baby_Shambl3s, have you tried dragging the icons into your app menus? [06:29] derekS-> what is the ip address of your host? [06:29] Spaceraver, There are conflicting reports, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/249340 [06:29] amenado: which host? [06:29] Launchpad bug 249340 in langpack-locales "Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef" [Undecided,Confirmed] [06:30] I had to 'sudo killall locale-gen' for the install to complete... it finally sorted the locale out later when I installed something with apt [06:30] amenado: i have 192.168.0.1 as router, and 2-5 as computers [06:30] derekS-> the one you are having issues with [06:30] r2s: How do you know if it is the live cd? I downloaded this from ubuntu.com [06:30] Baby_Shambl3s, sudo apt-get install alacarte, then right-click on "Applications" and go to "edit menu". [06:30] amenado: all [06:30] i can't ping any via hostname [06:30] what can I use to save a portion of a video to another video file? example from 45 minutes in to 50 minutes in? [06:30] Baby_Shambl3s, From there you can add/edit/remove things from your Applications' menu. [06:30] derekS, Well then comp1 will not know of comp2's hostname unless it is either listed in the /etc/hosts file or you have a DNS server setup on one of you systems on the local network. If you do have a DNS server installed locally then you would add it's IP to your /etc/resolv.conf. Then you will be able to ping the hostname and not have to hard code it in every machine. (just the dns server) [06:31] I changed the directories in /media and in fstab to match and remounted but they still have the same name is before [06:31] Ahadiel, avidemux [06:31] Did they get a volume label? [06:31] jordan, Dial_tone* [06:31] Shinpo: i assume my router has one? it is a typical netgear router for home... [06:32] gnub could be. ls -l /dev/disk/by-label will show [06:32] derekS your router does not have a name server with hostname for all those connected to it [06:32] amenado: can you help me through this partitioning? [06:32] sysop1972, if the cd has X i.e GUI then its a live cd [06:32] ubuntu wont let me install any updates or codecs [06:32] help === jordan is now known as Jordan_U [06:32] sysop1972-> a new install? [06:32] amenado: oh, i thouhgt it did! thanks for your help [06:32] tyler_, have you setup the repo's properly ?? [06:32] tyler_ sudo apt-get -f install , run that and if it fails, put the complete output on paste.ubuntu.com [06:32] how do i do that [06:33] Hi, does anyone know how to install the driver for a Nvidia 9600GT in Hardy? The nvidia-glx-new package from the repos does not work. [06:33] derekS, I know on my router at home I was not able to ping any hostnames, perhaps some routers do, but my experience has been otherwise, that's why I installed bind on one of the servers. [06:33] amenado: yes [06:33] k [06:33] tyler_, paste your /etc/sources.list on pastebin [06:33] sysop1972-> okay, you can start the install, and upon selection of which drive to use, use a manual partitioning [06:33] Shinpo: i figured it did, though my router is about 8-10 years old [06:34] derekS, ah [06:34] is it possible to have my panels on all my virutal desktops except one? I don't want them in one of the virtual desktops so that I can run a window at 1024x768 ?

[07:10] sysop1972: the "alternate" CD. As opposed to the "desktop" CD (desktop is the live CD) [07:10] what about the intel x3100 drivers on ubuntu [07:10] flannel: The server edition cd = alternate? [07:11] same message [07:11] cannot open display [07:11] CyberCod, cannot open display still... hmmm... [07:11] is there some way of testing what the current display is? [07:11] sysop1972: No. Alternate CD is the old "install" CD, it uses debian-install (like the server CD), and installs a regular install, OEM, CLI only, etc. And can set up LVM [07:11] sure, in a terminal, echo $DISPLAY [07:11] just in case it's not 0.0? [07:12] k [07:12] CyberCod, its not 0.0, its :0.0 [07:12] yeah... :0.0 [07:13] flannel: 8:04 server does give the option of LVM partitioning. So should I do that instead of setting up manually?

Yeah. If you're doing a fresh install, during install is the easiest way [07:14] In 8.04, how do you keep the preference of which monitor is the primary monitor? [07:15] CyberCod, hmm... [07:15] flannel: would it make sense for me to keep the system files in a non-LVM partition on its own so I can image the partition after it is setup? This alway did wonders with windows in the case that the drive crashes. [07:15] I'm going to look at audacious --help and see if there are any display switches [07:15] sysop1972: What? [07:15] CyberCod, can we split that command up... on the line above, put export DISPLAY=:0.0 [07:16] CyberCod, and take it off of the next line [07:16] audacious has a display switch [07:16] what's the best choice for a video player? [07:16] gonna try that [07:16] flannel: Should I create the /root partition outside of the LVM so I can make an image of it for backup? [07:16] CyberCod, awesome... [07:16] l815: VLC is my fave [07:17] VLC, hmmm, would you rather do this script with VLC? [07:17] CyberCod, ah yah I forgot about that one [07:18] sysop1972: /root won't matter (doesn't have anything in it), /boot needs to be off of it (this has already been said). You can make a backup with it being on LVM just fine. [07:18] CyberCod, Maybe try mplayer instead of audacious? [07:18] audacious: cannot open display: :0.0 [07:18] maybe try it without the : [07:19] flannel: I will just let ubuntu take care of it then since it has automated LVM installation. [07:19] does anybody know where the GNOME theme artwork is kept in the Ubuntu filesystem? [07:19] CyberCod, i wonder if the X server is set to block stuff launched by the cron jobs... [07:19] CoolFox, try ~/.themes [07:19] coolfox: search for the gnome artwork package and see its file list [07:20] hmmm [07:20] if so its a new thing [07:20] l815, how? thats a hidden directory. [07:20] Hi [07:20] flannel: Or not... it came up with an error.. LVM failed because an error occurred while creating volume group [07:20] CyberCod, actually it would be an old thing, just a new configuration setting normally not active on ubuntu [07:21] CoolFox, press CTRL + H [07:21] ah [07:21] CyberCod, give mplayer a try as it doesn't require X. === nickrud_ is now known as nickrud [07:21] For some reason my Firefox isnt working correctly, I have disabled all addons, completely removed it, reinstalled, and no change. When I open it, it doesn't go to my home page, the SSL exception won't popup, the address bar doesnt work, I cant bookmark anything, anyone have a suggestion? [07:21] I need to setup Ubuntu for someone who does not have a internet connection (my parent's place actually). Is Ubuntu 8 desktop version all I need to burn on CD to do the setup properly? [07:21] CyberCod, this sounds similar.. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/crontab-launching-applications-651507/ [07:22] Is there any guideline document or something I can refer to? [07:22] gnub: thats really wierd, have you tried removing it from command line [07:22] you still there [07:22] l815, hrm, nothing in there. [07:22] is there some GUI available for ubuntu hardy to store/remove items into s3? [07:22] trying ":0.0" in quotes [07:22] gnub try closing firefox , mv ~/.mozilla ~/Desktop/mozilla-backup , and restart it [07:22] CoolFox, oh sorry then :/ [07:22] with the display switch [07:22] Vyom1, yes, a cd would be fine.. but you will not be able to do security updates [07:22] owner_, yes i am [07:23] gnub: thats really wierd, have you tried removing it from command like seamonkey [07:23] ok gusty was a breez [07:23] superfirelord42, would that be a problem? that PC is never going to be connected to internet [07:23] CoolFox, must hold themes only installed by the user [07:23] owner_, i thought so... you now have Gusty, congrats!!! [07:23] it would just serve as a desktop OS... [07:23] Vyom1, means they will not get updates and the ability to apt-get new applications [07:23] ok I am on partitioning i need some help on the options [07:23] Vyom1, so if they want an app, you would have to get it for them [07:23] owner_ whats up === braden_ is now known as zod21 [07:24] what is lvn [07:24] owner_, i dont think you need lvn on that [07:24] owner_, thats more for servers and multiple drive machines [07:24] yeah ...

[07:24] chose to dao that my bad [07:24] so, I just need to verify the apps being bundled with the Ubuntu CD download I guess... [07:24] Vyom1, and if an app is crashy, they cannot update it with a newer version [07:24] nickrud, That did it, what else can you fix for me tonight? Can you tell me why YouTube videos don't have sound but other flash does lol [07:24] owner_, is it already done? or can you change it? if its done, its ok...

[07:35] hmmmmm [07:35] i need bnc server [07:35] is this the right place for wireless networking help? [07:35] <[Cz]S_p_or_t_o> [01:51] [Cz]S_p_or_t_o, why you call my name when i'm afk ^_^ [07:36] Decepticon, in ubuntu, you need to edit your /etc/ssh/sshd file [07:36] i think thats the location of it [07:36] AemX, what is bmc? [07:36] superfirelord42 okay please tell me more [07:36] what is wrong with my sshd file [07:36] whats the -c switch for?

[07:36] superfirelord42 do you speak of /etc/ssh/sshd_config [07:37] Decepticon, correct [07:37] was not a good idea for to stick my wireless card in there now maybee it may configure it for me or [07:37] im not at a terminal so im running from memory... [07:37] So, 8.04LTS will run just fine on an Acer Aspire 4720Z, recognize the Hardware and all? [07:37] i am i trying too much [07:37] owner_, its fine, it wont mess it up that bad... [07:37] owner_, removing it would be worse [07:37] superfirelord42: #AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys [07:37] Jacen_, Just try the live-cd and see if it works! [07:37] im having trouble connecting to a wep encrypted network [07:37] Decepticon, can you pastebin the file? [07:38] what am i doing wrong? [07:38] superfirelord42 one sec [07:38] Decepticon, and yes, that is one of them [07:38] i mean i dont have it in there now but i wish i did so it will see and configure it for me === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:38] hi i have a sony vaio fz 140 e , my speaker out does not work . i am using ubuntu 8.04 [07:38] owner_, put it in... [07:38] say if I want to connect to a particular wifi network [07:38] owner_, it should not mess it up... [07:38] ok [07:38] i have tried following multiple tutorials, with no luck, i have a broadcom b4306 card [07:38] cos its not in yet [07:38] owner_, what stage does it say its on? [07:38] and I never ever want nm-applet to cycle through all available wifi networks and connect to each in turn, because that's a huge security risk [07:39] installing base system [07:39] superfirelord42 i am going to pm you the link is it ok? [07:39] owner_, yeah, put it in... [07:39] is there any way to configure that without manually typing in the network settings? [07:39] Decepticon, sure [07:39] got it [07:39] I mean, can I make it so that it sticks to the network I choose with the GUI? [07:39] TimStarling, You may want to look into wicd. [07:40] TimStarling, typing is a small price to pay for security, you could also consider using location specific profiles, one for home (a set access point) and one for roaming with roaming enabled [07:40] Ahadiel: ok, will do [07:40] i installed linux-image & linux-ubuntu-modules in my customised filesystem , why the live cd is not booting if i select the option boot=casper [07:40] i installed linux-image & linux-ubuntu-modules in my customised filesystem , why the live cd is not booting if i select the option boot=casper [07:40] good the card not hsa power b4 when i put it in it had no power in it the lighes were out [07:40] Decepticon, uncomment the authorized files keys like you said [07:40] Hi, I just try several times to install ubuntu on a machine that was running fedora. I kept all the fedora partitions in place, and created new partitions for ubuntu. The problem is that the grub installation does not work. On the ubuntu partition, there is no grub directory in /boot. Does anyone know what the problem is? [07:40] not its on [07:40] kool [07:40] hm ok [07:40] No protocol specified [07:40] No protocol specified [07:40] audacious: cannot open display: [07:40] CyberCod: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:41] oops [07:41] TimStarling, Wicd will not automagically connect to a network UNLESS you allow it to. [07:41] superfirelord42 is there anything else to be edited in sshd_config [07:41] CyberCod, Does audacouis even work? [07:41] Decepticon, still looking [07:41] audacious* [07:41] works fine [07:41] works fine with the script so long as its not being executed by cron [07:41] hey [07:41] who to use bnc server plz [07:41] ane one help me [07:42] Decepticon, try that, see if it works.. [07:42] alright i will restart sshd [07:42] AemX, I would try #ubuntu-offtopic [07:42] odin [07:42] CyberCod, Umm, try mplayer? Probably better since it doesn't require X. [07:42] there's another way i can do this for my purposes, I can make audacious headless and put in a killall command with a panel button... I'm just very stubborn. I'd like to know why this is so screwed up [07:42] whats this [07:43] AemX, what is bnc? [07:43] superfirelord42 hmmm nope [07:43] Decepticon, hmm, still reading [07:43] does it matter im putting authorized_keys2 instead of authorized_keys [07:43] on the remote machine i want to login with ssh keys [07:43] Decepticon, yup... change the path to the one with a 2 [07:43] mplayer handles playlists? [07:44] Hello [07:44] CyberCod, Quite possibly. [07:44] Is there a way let the top-panel only show in one workspace. [07:44] superfirelord42 did you say i want to mv ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ? [07:44] anyone here know how to get a usb external hdd working with vBox 1.6? [07:44] will give it a shot [07:44] I am mic [07:44] Decepticon, you can do taht or change the path on the config file [07:44] superfirelord42 did you say i want to mv ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ##### on the remote machine? [07:44] your choice [07:44] fwaokda: the #vbox chat room could probably help you better, those guys are awesom [07:45] ok but i thought authorized_keys2 was for ssh2 [07:45] CyberCod, An mplayer playlist is just full paths to each file. [07:45] and authorized_keys was for ssh1 [07:45] and that sshd should be able to tell the difference? [07:45] CyberCod, its a little dead atm so thats why I figured I'd try here right quick [07:45] Decepticon, thats if you have ssh1 isntalled, they dont install ssh1 on ubuntu unless youg et it from apt [07:45] sorry, keybord half unplugged... [07:45] ok well ill try that [07:45] and see if it works [07:46] Hey guys, my wireless interface only connects when there's a very high signal. Anything I can do to make it work with lower signals? [07:46] Is there a way to let the top-panel only show in one workspace. HELP!! [07:46] superfirelord42 didnt seem to work [07:46] !repeat | glacier [07:46] glacier: 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 [07:46] glacier no, it will appear on all desktops [07:46] Decepticon, if you want to block to SSH2, you use "Protocol 2" in your config file [07:47] ok we are now on [07:47] ; [07:47] nickrud: Thanks [07:47] Anyone ever have a wireless interface that only connected with Very High Signal Strength? [07:48] installing the kernel -- retrieving and instaling linux generic [07:48] .msg nickserv [07:48] superfirelord42, i already have Protocol 2 in my sshd_config so im not sure whats wrong [07:48] Hi. I have a problem with xine (I think) ... [07:48] CyberCod, This is a longshot, but maybe try this: DISPLAY=:0.0 audacious -blah -blah -- :0 [07:48] Decepticon, that should work... take a look at http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/ssh-with-keys/ [07:48] superfirelord42 isnt there a way i can test its working ? [07:48] Amarok and Movie Player are crashing when I try to play mp3's. [07:48] I can play on Miro which uses Gstreamer. [07:49] Mine is working fine, but doesn't connect to an AP unless it's REALLY good signal. I have had measly laptop internal cards connect from further. [07:49] Anyone? [07:49] btw, Decepticon what is the mode of the .authorized_keys file? if its wrong, then the server doesnt accept it [07:49] and its been there for a while is that normal its at 82% [07:49] owner_, let it... [07:49] ok [07:49] owner_, sometimes its hard for it to get the status while doing that stuff.. its very complex at some points [07:50] oh ok [07:50] Decepticon, i think i have it.. do chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/* [07:50] good its moving now [07:50] where can i get a firewall [07:50] i almost got a heart attak [07:50] afana, sudo apt-get install firestarter [07:50] how do i kill a process with pid 11272?? [07:50] drwxrwxrwx 2 bizinichi bizinichi 4096 2008-07-19 08:50 .ssh/ [07:50] superfirelord42 i have drwxrwxrwx 2 bizinichi bizinichi 4096 2008-07-19 08:50 .ssh/ [07:50] i have not had a decent sleep in four days [07:50] Spaceraver, kill 11272 [07:50] !firewall | afana [07:50] afana: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [07:50] Decepticon, ok, that should be chmod 0700 ~/.ssh [07:50] thx [07:50] Spaceraver: kill 11272 [07:51] Decepticon, and then chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/* [07:51] nope, same output [07:51] Decepticon, in order to change it later, you will have to chmod it again... [07:51] :( still runs... [07:51] Spaceraver: man kill if it fails [07:51] this must be one expensive penguin [07:51] CyberCod, -_-, tried mplayer yet? [07:51] Decepticon, reload and try it... thats the one that kept catching me when i was having problems with it... [07:51] "man kill" [07:51] ah well, I'll work on it tomorrow, I'm barely keeping my eyes open [07:52] my bucket of fail has arrived [07:52] Anyone? [07:52] Spaceraver: I think you have to kill -9 it or something [07:52] superfirelord42 nope... [07:52] Decepticon, you reloaded hte config after doing the modes like that? and it still wouldnt work? [07:52] thanks a lot guys for trying so hard to help [07:52] i installed linux-image & linux-ubuntu-modules in my customised filesystem , why the live cd is not booting if i select the option boot=casper [07:53] this is borderline bug material [07:53] the kernel image i took it from gutsy (2.6.22-14-386) [07:53] Decepticon, are you sure the connecting computer has the right key? [07:53] Spaceraver: read this: http://sial.org/howto/shell/kill-9/ [07:53] bah... ill just restart the server then... tried to kill it with -9 and using htop... [07:54] Decepticon: if you changed your keys it won't connect until you go in and remove the old key [07:54] don't get too trigger happy with -9 [07:54] CyberCod i have not changed keys [07:54] if you updated your ssh packages then you might've [07:54] CyberCod, it never was working the first time [07:54] superfirelord42 ive uploaded the key from my debian machine (this is the machine that wants to connect without passwords) with scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub bizinichi@myserver.com:.ssh/authorized_keys2 [07:54] btfx... i wont... it's just that locale bug im trying to get rid of... [07:54] ah [07:54] k [07:54] I"m out... can't stay awake [07:54] Spaceraver: =) [07:55] nite folks.. good luck [07:55] night [07:55] Decepticon, and then we renamed that to authorized_keys [07:55] yes [07:55] Hey guys, my wireless interface only connects when there's a very high signal. Anything I can do to make it work with lower signals? [07:55] on the ubuntu machine, where i want to login without passwords [07:55] lol [07:55] cyber [07:56] Decepticon, its close.. we are missing something simple.... [07:56] what? i dont know, but its something simple [07:56] does it matter i made the keys on my debian machine with ssh-keygen -t dsa [07:57] instead of rsa [07:57] and upped the dsa one [07:57] did you ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa on hte debian machine? [07:57] choose software to install [07:57] superfirelord42 no i ahve not yet [07:57] i dont think so [07:57] any reccomndatiobns [07:57] Decepticon, that loads it to allow [07:57] !ntfs [07:57] superfirelord42 isnt that supposed to be run on the ubuntu machien (where the sshd is) [07:57] 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 [07:57] owner_, what are the options? [07:57] Decepticon, nope, thats on the client... it adds it to hte agent [07:57] superfirelord42, my debian machine wants to connect to ubuntu without passwords [07:57] that way it knows to use the key [07:58] superfirelord42 im not using that sort of command for my other logins [07:58] how is it working without that [07:58] for my other logins on other remote servers [07:58] you will/can run into issues taking ssh keys from one set up to another [07:58] alot of software unbuntu software [07:58] Decepticon, could be a configuratoin diffrence [07:59] i will try that command anyway out of desperation [07:59] does anybody know where the GNOME theme artwork is kept in the Ubuntu filesystem? [07:59] *configuration [07:59] owner_: for "what to install?" topic please join #ubuntu-offtopic [07:59] i wanna dig up a certain icon [07:59] CoolFox: Which icon? [07:59] gnomefreak, he needs to know the defaults for ubuntu [07:59] gnomefreak, hes doing an alternate install [07:59] superfirelord42: defaults of what? [07:59] superfirelord42 that command "ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa" run on the debian machine gives "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent" [07:59] Flannel, no, i really wanna know where its all kept.

[08:49] ie: the "history" command [08:49] owner_, when it asks yes or no, tell it yes.... [08:49] yes [08:49] owner_: might take a bit of time [08:49] ok [08:49] hahaha [08:49] Landon, you could try editing /etc/gnome/defaults.list to set what you want [08:49] did he just uninstall gnome? [08:49] owner_, when it finishes and gives you a line, tell it halt -p [08:49] how are u online if u dont have gui? [08:50] giacomo_carissim, no, he did not.. he forgot to select it [08:50] DistroJockey: thanks! that's exactly what I needed [08:50] ooohhh [08:50] mkquist, he is using another computer [08:50] hahaha [08:50] ic ty... [08:50] mkquist, hehe, otherwise it would be hard to netboot the laptop [08:50] i was wondering... [08:50] so owner hasn't yet finished installing ubuntu? [08:50] owner_, did you get that? [08:51] hello all. major problem with my RAID+LVM... i have(had) RAID5(3 disk) /dev/mod0 ->mapped to phy vol/logical vol->formatted to JFS and mounted at /media/mydata. one of the disks failed, and when i replaced it, restarted, all the raid/LVM entries were gone!! i am trying to manually put entries in raidtab etc , but it doesn't seem to work. which files should i edit so tha i can start with the2 disk RAID5 under depcreated mode. any help is deeply appreciat [08:51] ed [08:51] owner_, when you get yes/no, tell it yes... when its done, tell it sudo halt -p [08:51] ok [08:51] ok [08:51] iam learning alot here [08:51] owner_, im going offline, if you come online tommorrow afternoon, let me know how it goes... [08:52] ok [08:52] thanks a million [08:52] owner_, hehe, when you get the full ubuntu up and can expiriment, you will learn alot more... [08:52] kool [08:52] i actually just got ubuntu up and running, i had to upgrade my BIOS first though [08:53] oh god, bios scares me [08:53] !yay | ampedesign [08:53] ampedesign: Glad you made it! :-) [08:53] glad you made it though :) [08:53] how can I increase the number of terminal/bash history lines? I'm not looking for scrolling lines, which can be set in the terminal profile gui... but when I do: -bash-3.20$ history, it only shows approx 500 lines... this is a product of bash correct? and not terminal? [08:53] ie: the "history" command [08:53] yeah, for some reason without the latest BIOS version, the mouse would freeze, but now that problem is solved [08:53] CaptainMorgan: what terminal are you using? [08:54] CaptainMorgan, found this in man history: int history_max_entries The maximum number of history entries. This must be changed using sti‐fle_history(). [08:54] giacomo_carissim, Accessories > Terminal [08:54] DistroJockey, found that too.. but not sure how to make changes... [08:54] CaptainMorgan, me either sorry :( [08:55] Hi all! anybody knows how to restart usb devices? my webcam is not detected my lsusb hangs (but full restart will solve this) [08:55] nonZero, mount/umount ? [08:56] if your usb is hanging, consider upgrading the bios, that just solved my problems [08:56] hi all, is there something i have to do to get the emerald theme manager to download themes? [08:56] but maybe you don't want to try something that drastic [08:57] CaptainMorgan, video is not mounted AFAIK [08:57] Can I get support here for Ubuntu Server Edition? Or is that a different channel? [08:57] is it usb? it *should* be mounted nonZero check in /dev or run the mount command without any switches [08:57] Crshman_, there are no emerald themes in the default repos. I guess you need to find and add a repo that has them. (Not sure why they aren't there when emerald is though) [08:58] zachera, what is your question ? [08:58] zachera, or problem, rather... [08:58] Where can I find my USB flash drive? [08:58] i had it on another computer and i just re-found the post on the forums that shows me how to do it....something about an SVN this that or the other...thanks for your help though [08:58] I plugged it into my server. [08:58] It's not in /media [08:58] :| === strange is now known as monkeyboy [08:59] Crshman_, no problem. There may also be a .deb somewhere that won't require SVN [09:00] CaptainMorgan: To rephrase a bit: How do I access files from a USB flash drive I plugged into my server? [09:00] zachera, I'm echoing myself tonight... I just told ampedesign to try running the mount command without any switches to find mounted devices [09:00] CaptainMorgan: How do I run the mount command? How does it work, that is. [09:01] zachera, use google please... commands are run in a terminal - if your usb device is not showing up on the interface upon plugging it in, something is wrong inside your system - for internal work, learn to use the terminal ;) [09:02] CaptainMorgan: There is no interface. [09:02] actually, it could also be your device too.. [09:02] It's SSH... server edition. [09:02] slushpuppy\: :O [09:02] zachera, and also check man pages of commands you don't know about (e.g. man mount ) [09:03] meee miser [09:03] is there any way to invert the colors on screen?? [09:03] anyone has had all sorts of weird looping problems with mod_rewrite on apache on 8.04? [09:03] zachera: :o [09:03] bluef00t, yes [09:03] DistroJockey: How can I do it?? [09:04] DistroJockey: How do you exit the manual.... [09:04] <^Azerthoth> q [09:04] bluef00t, the whole GUI or just a terminal? [09:04] zachera, q [09:04] Thanks. [09:05] whole GUI. [09:05] hmm, what does it mean when a package is no longer on the servers? looks like they replaced libungif with giflib but pacman wont do anything about it [09:05] bluef00t, try the Superkey+m [09:05] hey. folks. how can I detect the encoding of a file ? I can detect the file encoding by "vim" currently. use the ":set" and it show the "fileencoding". is there any other tools could detect the file encoding ? [09:06] DistroJockey: That requires compiz right?? I dont wanna use compiz. It makes my comp really slow. [09:06] bluef00t, it's a plugin that compiz adds [09:07] DistroJockey: Any other method, without using compiz?? [09:07] bluef00t, the only other way would be to change your theme [09:08] bluef00t, System - Preferences - Appearance [09:08] I dont wanna do that. Ill try something else then. === AemX is now known as Aemin [09:08] bluef00t, you can customise a theme also === Aemin is now known as aemx [09:08] bluef00t, k, good luck [09:09] DistroJockey: Thanx for helping thought. [09:09] what r u trying to do bluef00t [09:09] bluef00t, you're welcome [09:09] interesting ubuntu actually dont run too bad [09:09] * bogeyman likes [09:09] hi all, just after grub kicks in there is an unrecognized partition is there a place where the boot log is saved [09:09] sisto: trying to invert screen colors. I like to read white text on black background. [09:09] im loving compiz fusion [09:09] how can I edit my grub menu so that my ubuntu is my default os and not vista? [09:10] bluef00t, oh I see... is intrepid ibex going to have that? [09:11] fwaokda: change the order they are listed...cd / [09:11] fwaokda, change the default = 0 line in /boot/grub/menu.lst to the entry you want. 0 = the first title line it sees, 1 the 2nd etc. [09:11] sisto: no idea [09:11] thanks [09:11] if I install enlightenment in through synaptic I should be able to remove it fine with no bad side effects if I dont like it right? [09:12] bluef00t, let me look for some screenshots for you [09:12] l3d, theoretically [09:12] l3d: i hope so, cause i'm using enlightenment now... =p [09:12] hey all; i'm copying and pasting three files over a network - the first one gets more of the available bandwidth than the 2nd, the 2nd more than the 3rd etc. - Is there a way to prioritize one particular 'file operation'? (hardy) [09:12] so what I should do then is well enough alone huh [09:12] lol [09:12] why? [09:13] wo shi zhuogongren [09:13] ni men shi na lire [09:13] works fine so far, installed it last night just... [09:13] bluef00t, here: http://phorolinux.com/ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-alpha-1-screenshots.html [09:14] Wow, Xchat 2.8 seem to be much worse than 2.1 [09:14] oh here is a good ? why is it when I reformat and install ubuntu and I have to grab the updates why does it only d/l so much and then kill my wireless internet and I have to reboot the router to get it back [09:15] could someone edit the menu.lst for me so I don't do something stupid and screw it up? I just want my ubuntu as the default -- currently vista is. http://pastebin.com/m27884a47 [09:16] that so not fair [09:16] !grub | fwaokda one of htese links has instructions for what you want to do [09:16] fwaokda one of htese links has instructions for what you want to do: 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 [09:16] ooh thanks [09:17] im looking at gnome look.org and wondering which one i grab to change my theme? [09:17] all my theme settings are black bg and green font [09:17] <<< like which category im confused there is so many [09:19] like gtx maby? [09:19] my default keyring isn't unlocked when I use a timed login? Can I change this? [09:19] and 1.0 or 2.0? [09:20] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [09:20] Whats the file type name for FAT32 ? [09:20] bogeyman, metacity and icons are the ones I mainly look at for a gnome desktop [09:21] zachera: I think it's vfat, try -t vfat [09:21] ty [09:21] was curious [09:21] so gtx wont work? [09:21] bogeyman, and gtk 2.0 [09:21] 2.x rather^ [09:21] kk ty [09:21] np [09:21] anybody here good with xvmc on an intel 945 [09:21] i created a menu.lst.old does that mean if for some reason the grub doesn't work after my edit that the system will automatically use this one or is it just there for me to boot with live cd and copy it back? [09:22] fwaokda, you will need to copy it back [09:23] fwaokda, I'd change you timeout to something like 5 instead of 01 so you have time to change manually if needed [09:23] ohh nice [09:24] :P [09:24] lot better themes then winblows [09:24] * bogeyman is so glad he switched [09:24] DistroJockey, y a I am... trying to figure what all has to be changed to make ubuntu the default os [09:25] fwaokda, just the default = 0 to default = 1 probably [09:25] why cant i connect to dalnet in xchat (identity file) [09:25] do I have to edit anything at the bottom of the file or just the default number? [09:25] one thing im wondering if there is a program made to convert xvid to dvd format? [09:25] like convertxtodvd on windows [09:25] fwaokda, nope, just default and timeout (if you want longer time to chose manually) [09:25] ok thanks! [09:26] no problem [09:26] i rly dont wanna have to wine it :( [09:26] there has to be a prog made [09:26] lol [09:27] bogeyman, I'd google something like: convert xvid to dvd ubuntu [09:27] does lvm require journaling or is a non-journaling fs (such as ext2) fine? [09:28] i have formatted my hard drive to ext3 file system however there is the lost+found folder - is there a way to hide this folder as im sharing these file systems through samba [09:29] hello [09:29] hi I don't have write access to my IDE drive [09:29] shyal: Have you tried chmod? [09:30] i have cups set up on my server and on my computer to use the server as a print server... im getting one problem... when i connect on my server with localhost:631 everything works..... when i connect on this laptop with 192.168.1.100:631 it fails [09:30] how do i fix this? [09:30] http://pastebin.com/m14fc845 [09:30] if you type sudo chmod +ax /path/ how does that work out for you? [09:30] Hi Everyone, can someone help tell me how to install pidgin on ubuntu 7.04 [09:31] fulio: i know a website [09:31] fulio: one sec [09:31] meoblast001, ok [09:31] I need help with the following error message: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'usbdisk'. [09:31] an external disk [09:31] fulio: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Pidgin [09:31] meoblast001, i have gaim running but i want to install gfire which pidgin requires [09:31] fulio: try the gutsy and hardy versions [09:32] kaktuskatta, what command did you issue? [09:32] dmesg gives [ 104.014358] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk [09:32] [ 104.034254] sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 [09:32] [ 104.602005] UDF-fs: No partition found (1) [09:32] [ 104.704373] Unable to identify CD-ROM format. [09:32] that's the end [09:32] meoblast001, will it work for 7.04? [09:32] I could post the entire thing, but I forgot the link for the paste site [09:32] it's an auto-mount function [09:33] !paste | kaktuskatta [09:33] kaktuskatta: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [09:33] It works fine if i type sudo mount -t ext2 /path/ [09:33] fulio: one of them will most likey work.... if not... you'll have to find the dependencies it cant get off the ubuntu package website [09:33] the thing is that the comp doesn't recognise the correct file system.... [09:33] fulio: until you have every unsatisfiable package (packages not in 7.04) [09:33] meoblast001, ok ty. [09:33] fulio: everytime i've done it it only requires me to it a few times... like 2 extra packages [09:34] fulio: if it says anything about libc6.... i havent found a way aorund that [09:34] DistroJockey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28413/ [09:34] meoblast001, so then i would have to upgrade to gutsy or hardy? [09:34] but i only have problems with that for backwards compatibility not forward compatibility [09:34] fulio: or use pidgin source [09:34] sweet deevede works nicely [09:34] fulio: which i can help you with.... i got good at it recently [09:35] pidgin source will work on pretty much anything [09:35] meoblast001, you should help me then =D [09:35] well try the deb first [09:35] kaktuskatta, was this CD created on another system and maybe a multi session or not closed? [09:35] meoblast001, question; will gaim work with gfire? [09:35] DistroJockey: sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk -->voilla [09:35] fulio: dont know what gfire is.. ill check [09:36] kaktuskatta, ok, not CD, sorry [09:36] meoblast001, gfire = xfire [09:36] DistroJockey: :) [09:36] That's the main issue :) [09:36] fulio: hmmm... it looks like it does [09:36] fulio: i am curious why your on Fiesty though lol [09:36] DistroJockey: Manual mount works perfect, automount does not on this comp.... :( Works fine on another one though [09:36] kaktuskatta, sounds like a wrong entry in /etc/fstab to me [09:37] yup [09:37] but where to begin? === mike is now known as Guest8895 [09:37] meoblast001, i been using it for along time, and i dont wanna loose all the things i got on my laptop [09:37] does anyone know why i cant connect to my server at 192.168.1.100:631 but i can connect from my serrver to itself at localhost:631? [09:37] kaktuskatta, you can pastebin it and I'll take a look if you like === kenami is now known as Quenami [09:37] fulio: O_o if you would have upgraded when gutsy came out the upgrade wouldnt have lost anything [09:37] fulio: a ubuntu upgrade is far different from a windows upgrade === Quenami is now known as quenami [09:38] although sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might still work [09:38] i think thats the command === quenami is now known as qenami [09:38] meoblast001,so if i upgrade from fiesty to gutsy would i loose the things or would it stay the same? [09:39] DistroJockey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28414/ [09:40] fulio: well upgrading up from feisty to hardy will be harder now that hardy is out.... you would need an alternative install cd of ubuntu gutsy.... then stick it in your drive.... upgrade off that.... then upgrade to hardy from that [09:40] DistroJockey: /dev/sda1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec :P [09:40] fulio: unless for somereason it has an upgrade option in your update manager [09:41] kaktuskatta, yep, that looks to be the one [09:41] meoblast001, is there way were i can save everything i have now and stick in a hardy cd which i have [09:41] hmmmm [09:41] kaktuskatta, usb drive? [09:42] DistroJockey: So I switch that line with /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk ....? [09:42] DistroJockey: Indeed [09:42] fulio: not sure..... i know you can do this... if you have a big enough flash disk... you can copy your entire home directory into it [09:42] fulio: rename some files.... like .gaim should be .purple [09:42] hey [09:42] kaktuskatta, I believe the udf,iso9660 is the bit confusing it [09:43] kaktuskatta, but yeah, that location change also [09:43] meoblast001, k [09:43] why cant i connect to cups from anything other than localhost? [09:43] im so confused [09:43] not even 192.168.1.100 will work [09:43] wow synaptic is stuck at installing gnomebaker lol [09:43] stuck at setting up gnomebaker [09:43] cups is failing on me [09:44] ive got a wireless-lan problem. i have 8.04 running on a thinkpad t41. everthing worked fine until i a few days ago, synaptic installed about 89 updates. since then there is no wlan-device in networkmanager oder ifconfig [09:44] DistroJockey: What should I replace udf with? [09:44] meoblast001, check /etc/cups/cupsd.conf [09:44] ahhh [09:44] found it [09:44] kaktuskatta, I'd comment out that line totally (#) [09:45] how come the search function in nautilus is worthless? and how do I get it to find anything without using gksu nautilus and then searching [09:45] DistroJockey: And add no replacement? Hope that it detects the info correctly? [09:45] gots me a 403 error [09:45] lets see if it stil prints though [09:46] kaktuskatta, I have no entry for my external drive, but it comes up when I plug it in [09:46] how can I know when was the first time I installed my machine? [09:46] hmm....I wonder what that line does :P [09:46] hi, test packagekit on ubuntu 8.10 failed, nothing works [09:46] is there a file somewhere? [09:47] hmm....I wonder why it was there in the first place [09:47] Hey #ubuntu, My system crashed I'm in need of some help. [09:47] kaktuskatta, make a backup just incase, but you are only going to comment it out and not delete it :) [09:48] DistroJockey: Hmm.....might be the fact that this comp has 2 CD-ROM drives [09:48] how do I get nautilus' search to actually do something? it willnever ever find anything [09:48] DistroJockey: So maybe they won't work after this.... [09:48] DistroJockey: but /dev/sda1 is not a cd-rom... [09:48] kaktuskatta, they should be fine [09:49] kaktuskatta, exactly, but fstab is telling it it is [09:49] DistroJockey: I see that now in fstab.....never mind. Thanks for all your help :) [09:49] kaktuskatta, you're welcome [09:50] How do I disable ufw? [09:50] is there a way to run a command in the terminal and have a pause so that the results are only displayed a page at a time? [09:50] Or at least unblock eth2 [09:50] BlueLaguna, ufw disable ? [09:51] SitUbuntuSit: whatever command you want to run here | less [09:51] orphean, thank you so much :) [09:52] BlueLaguna, check out man ufw [09:52] I've got a program that needs `mcs`, which I'm guessing to be something related to Mono (as it says to run with "mono ", but apt-get install mono doesn't give me anything. [09:52] Phase: apt-get install mono-gmcs [09:53] Phase: well wait. if it wants 'mcs' then mono-mcs [09:53] Thanks. [09:53] Phase: aptitude search works well for this kind of crap [09:54] I updated some things on my system (7.08) namely firefox, and I ended up crashing gnome. I can get the log in screen but then I log in I get a cream colored screen and a mouse pointer. Any tips? [09:55] DistroJockey: The thing is, it's still starting at boot [09:55] Even after I do that [09:55] DistroJockey: and /etc/ufw/ufw.conf has it set to disabled [09:55] BlueLaguna, hmm [09:55] DistroJockey: Nothing shows up when I do ps aux | grep ufw [09:56] but... [09:56] BlueLaguna, what do you see when it starts? Or how are you seeing that? [09:56] I'm trying to share a connection [09:56] ahh [09:56] but it doesn't work until I do /etc/init.d/ufw stop [09:56] Which shouldn't be started in the first place... [09:56] but it stops anyway... [09:56] and when I do /etc/init.d/ufw start, it complains that it's disabled [09:57] BlueLaguna, odd.

[10:15] Scorp_, I'm guessing you've got the M$ share accessable, etc? [10:15] jeimuzu, do you have time to check a script? [10:15] can someone help me setup "SARA" please? [10:16] jeeves__: What wud that be ??? i have installed smbfs [10:16] Scorp_, you can see the folder from either another windows system, or if you browse the network? [10:17] again: anyone knows a good tool for syncing contacts with phones? [10:17] CAN SOMEONE HELP ME INSTALL A WIRELESS ADAPTER! [10:17] jeeves__: Yes i can when i browse. Its all accessible. But I need to use a DOS based program which needs mapping and is resident on a windows based server. So how can I do that ?? [10:17] jeeves__: i had the install disk but gave it to a friend who never used it =( [10:17] meoblast001, so just reorder another disk [10:18] is there a way to run a command from the command line in a nonverbose way, ie so that I could launch multiple apps without a new tab/window? I'm using fluxbuntu, and though I could use a launcher program equiv to alt-f2 (and do sometimes), I was just curious. [10:18] jeeves__: i feel like im being rude to Canonical if i get another [10:18] I need some help fixing a mic problem, it doesn't work more that it does and it seems arbitrary and random when it fails [10:18] Scorp_, ok, so you need a DOS program to access a share on a Linux system [10:19] !xrandr [10:19] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [10:19] jeeves__: yup. This ubuntu system is basically a client thing on a workgroup based network. So i need to be able to use the MS DOS Based software on my PC Which runs ubuntu. the server is Windows XP. [10:20] so are you running some systems as a VM? [10:21] Scorp_, here, try this one. [10:21] jeeves__: nups.. Not as VMs.. Its a normal network.. we basically map drives on each system so that the program can run as if its on the same system. I need to map that drive on my system. === Brunera is now known as Bruners [10:21] Scorp_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 [10:21] Could someone point me to documentation on how to route a port to a specific interface? [10:21] jeeves__: Sure, i'll jst check it out..!! === Bruners is now known as Brunera [10:22] Scorp_, NP. I normally run into something like that when I'm trying to map to a windows share. [10:22] Bonfirefliz, what are you trying to do again? === Brunera is now known as Bruners [10:22] Hi Jeeves [10:23] Bonfirefliz, so what is it that you're trying to do? [10:23] When I am logged into VPN, I want to bypass the vpn connection for chat (gtalk) ports [10:23] so I figured I could just forward the gtalk port to eth0 instead of the vpn interface [10:23] Bonfirefliz, ok, so you want all of the data (except the gtalk data) to flow through the VPN? [10:24] yeah [10:24] im using vpnc [10:24] jeeves__: should i get edubuntu live cd or ubuntu? === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [10:24] Bonfirefliz, yea, I'm thinking that you could set up an IP rule to forward data on a specific port range to the eth0 (or whatever the adaptor) is, and then set a secondary rule to forward the rest of the data through the VPN [10:25] would I do that via iptables? [10:25] meoblast001, standard works better. I've plastered the Ubuntu stickers all over the local MAC user's car along with a "cored" apple sticker set. [10:25] Bonfirefliz, as far as I know that's the simplest way [10:25] can someone help me setup "SARA" please? [10:26] Uplink, SARA? that's my cousian, and I'm not setting you up with her! [10:26] jeeves__: but the distro... would the school want edu or standard?..... im thinking your saying standard? [10:26] jeeves__, oh yes u are [10:27] meoblast001, yea, stay with standard. that way, people won't get "locked into" the idea of using edu set. they'll see that Ubuntu is easy to use, and they'll be all over it [10:27] Uplink, lol, yea right. she's a natural redheaded cop who now beats up on her cusian [10:27] my phone output, the one that takes the sound off my boxes and put it in my headphone, won't work [10:27] there are no sound at my headphones and my box continue working... what could it be? [10:27] when installing ubuntu with default settings does it create a swap partition? [10:27] jeeves__, ill tame her [10:27] meoblast001, you can install the edubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu [10:27] netsrot, where/how are you installing it? from a live CD? [10:28] Hello, I just installed ubuntu (with gnome), and can't add launchers to the desktop (it stays empty). Any idea what could cause that? [10:28] jeeves__: yes [10:28] Uplink, lol, I've seen the men who have tried, and they all go running for mommy [10:28] quick question i downloaded a tar.gz file to my desktop untared it and opened terminal and typed sudo sh install.sh but it said cant open, what did ido wrong [10:28] jeeves__, im busy right now, but im sure we can discuss this later [10:28] DistroJockey, PLEASE HELP!!! too many people in here (and when you get a sec, can you look over my script to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605) [10:28] netsrot, yes, it will make a swap. why do you ask? [10:28] jeeves__: I get that kinit error and I think that it doesn't mount the swap. [10:28] haole, you could install pavucontrol and try changing settings using it [10:29] jeeves__: my school uses a bunch of networked computers that have all users stored on some harddisk in some server or something and everyone saves thier stuff on that.... also... they use something called bess (a web filter) and they use a remote monitoring tool.... is that possible in ubuntu? [10:29] jeimuzu, what's the errors? [10:29] jeeves__, I looked ta your script, but you have yet to say how it fails [10:29] netsrot, can you give us the exact syntax of the error? [10:29] ~$ sudo sh install.sh [10:29] sh: Can't open install.sh [10:29] i cant play files of ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2 format. kindly help [10:29] jeimuzu: sudo ./install.sh [10:29] perhaps the file install.sh isn't there? =) [10:30] jeimuzu: try that [10:30] k [10:30] So I Just bought a new netgear wireless usb adapter WN121T. Ubuntu is not recongnizeing it even though it shows up in lsusb. Here is my pastebin for LSUSB http://www.pastebin.org/52466 any ideas guys? [10:30] ive noticed some sh files act like binaries O_o [10:30] can someone help me setup "SARA" please? [10:30] meoblast001, lol, now you're getting into a LOT of stuff that I'd need to know how the network is setup. most of the time the "remote storage" is just a very large SAN that's mapped to everyone, and the systems are configured as "thin clients" to boot off the network. My high school was like that with 486es (many yeas ago) [10:30] jeeves__: I don't have copy or paste when I boot, can I find that message in any log file? [10:30] ./install.sh [10:30] DistroJockey, it failes @ "do" [10:30] bash: ./install.sh: No such file or directory [10:31] jeimuzu, you have to use my name so I see your posts before you post something [10:31] I just installed ubuntu and can't add launchers to the desktop (it stays empty). Any idea what could cause that? [10:31] jeeves__ ./install.sh [10:31] bash: ./install.sh: No such file or directory [10:31] jeimuzu, have you changed the premissions on the .sh file to run it? [10:31] uplink@HP-Pavilion:~/Downloads/sara-7.8.1$ ./sara [10:31] bash: ./sara: Permission denied [10:31] nope [10:31] jeeves__ nope [10:32] jeeves__ no clue how to do that [10:32] jeeves__: when I type df I should get a row that say filesystem swap right? [10:32] netsrot, copy it down. I can't remember where the log file is right now. I've finished a bottle of wine, and I'm suprized I'm still awake [10:32] jeeves__, for i in `seq 11 126`; and in the if checks you are using $i ? [10:32] jeeves: the iptables documentation is pretty confusing. Do you know where I could find an example of forwarding a port to my eth0 interface? [10:32] jeimuzu, re-untar the file. the system can't find your install script. I suspect the usal suspects. Mr. Gates or Mr. Jobs [10:33] k [10:33] netsrot, what's the output of fdisk -l ? [10:33] hi all [10:33] hi ashishsoni [10:33] DistroJockey, can you copy it and try it from your system? it only d-loads about 20Mb from the government site [10:33] http://dtc.labrute.com [10:34] Bonfirefliz, sorry man, I don't get into it. [10:34] jeeves__, k [10:34] ok [10:34] netsrot, try the following from a terminal: free [10:34] DistroJockey, it's my sad attempt to make a time lapse video of the trafic cams [10:34] i have a problem with ubuntu fonts on terminal...they arent so crisp as the other fonts in the taskbar menu when font smoothing is enabled... [10:34] jeeves__, :) [10:34] any help would be appreciated.. [10:35] Bonfirefliz, try this. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Security/Operating_Systems_Security/Linux/Q_21171024.html [10:35] DistroJockey, once I get a few compiled, I'll share with the class [10:35] hi ive been using ubuntu for a few weeks now [10:36] DistroJockey, right now, I have my remote server's drive mounted over SSH to my local system and I'm moving a few Gb accross a SSH tunnel [10:36] conduit4sal1, congrads. thanks for telling Mr Jobs and Mr Gates "hell no, we won't go" [10:36] is anyone here using a b43 firmware cutter [10:37] yes, i am [10:37] is it just me or is the connection slower [10:37] then it should be [10:37] does anyone know where I can find "unarj"? It used to be in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/arj/* according to many howtos on setting up postfix+spamassassin - but it is no longer at that location [10:37] jeeves__ ok if it is saved tothe desktop would the command still be sudo ./install.sh? [10:37] i cant play files of "ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2" format. kindly help [10:37] conduit4sali, how slow it is? [10:38] jeimuzu, you'll have to open a shell window, navigate to where you have it untared, and then run ./install.sh [10:38] ok [10:38] jeimuzu, you have to be in the same directory where the file exists. [10:38] jeeves__, looks to be a syntax error. Might be better asking in #bash [10:38] DistroJockey, ok, thanks. I'm tired right now, and I mashed that up over a coffee. [10:38] samiux, on my home wireless i only have about 45% signal strength [10:39] DistroJockey, so, I'm in here helping the new guys with what little I know to "put in my time" [10:39] jeeves__ do i have to be in the root? [10:39] jeeves__, I don't write scripts much :) [10:39] jeeves__, cool :) [10:39] jeimuzu, not if you untared it with your logged in account [10:39] jeeves__: testing dansguardian [10:39] ok [10:39] conduit4sal1, it is quiet normal for Linux native driver. [10:40] meoblast001, have fun with that. I spent a month fighting with that!!! I was trying to replace our sonic wall [10:40] jeeves__: what do you recommend for something like my school [10:40] i gave up on wireless on linux, its not worth it, too much hassle [10:40] any ideas? [10:40] uplink@HP-Pavilion:~/Downloads$ cp sara-7.8.1/ /home/uplink/Downloads/ [10:40] cp: omitting directory `sara-7.8.1/' [10:41] meoblast001, what are you trying to do? content filetering, virus/malware filtering, etc? [10:41] jeeves__: i installed dansguardian and playboy still came up [10:41] jeeves__, got past do to line 44 [10:41] Is there any GUI that I can tinker with things like the display contrast, RGB, and brightness? [10:41] jeeves__: my school has a windows program called bess up that keeps us from myspace, games, and porn..... pretty much the works [10:42] jeeves__ i am getting annoyed it is on my desktop i am in the desktop directory and it is giving me this bash: sudo/install.sh: No such file or directory [10:42] Hello [10:42] should I partition my external hard drive also? [10:42] how do i copy a directory? [10:42] meoblast001: not possible to use a vpn to your home, to get around it? [10:42] meoblast001, if you installed Dansguardian, you'll have a LOT of filters to install, etc. it's a pain in the a$$ to set up. you'll be better off spending the $$ and getting a sonic wall. [10:42] Uplink: the same way you would a file, ctrl+c or right click on the folder and select copy [10:42] IS it possible to upgrade the 32-Bit edition of Ubuntu to 64-bit through the terminal at all? [10:43] how do i copy a directory with shell command [10:43] I am installing ubuntu desktop but in the processes i see this message [10:43] Uplink: then paste into the place you want [10:43] I'm running 8.04 [10:43] bcm43xx: Error: "Microcode bcm43xxMicrocode5.fw" not available or load failed [10:43] Uplink, cp -R /source_directory /target_directory [10:43] hmm [10:43] Samiux, ty [10:43] jeimuzu, ok, simple. "sudo ./install.sh" [10:43] in the ok or should I be wooried [10:43] jeeves__: im trying to find a free sollution that requires very little configuration [10:43] k [10:44] CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF I CAN UPGRADE FROM 32-BIT TO 64-BIT [10:44] is there a ushare channel in here? #ushare is only 2 users === desti_T2 is now known as desti [10:44] UbuntuAl: you can't. reinstall [10:44] meoblast001, those 2 things don't exist together. I spent a month trying to get dansguardian to work for what we wanted. if you've got LOTS of time to tweak it, then it's great. Otherwise, look for a "live" disk of it [10:44] UbuntuAl, very doubtful [10:44] jeeves__: is K9 any good? [10:44] meoblast001, no idea [10:44] ok I'll just reinstall Ubuntu [10:44] how do i switch to root? [10:44] not like I had anything loaded anyway [10:45] jeeves__ laura@laura-desktop:~$ "sudo ./install.sh" [10:45] bash: sudo ./install.sh: No such file or directory [10:45] Uplink: you don't. there is no root account [10:45] !no root [10:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about no root [10:45] !noroot [10:45] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [10:45] jeimuzu, ok, first, get a real computer name. and second, yes, that looks right [10:45] its cause i need to run something as root [10:46] Uplink, use sudo [10:46] Uplink, what needs that; sudo is best [10:46] jeeves__ lol ok then why didnt it find the file and install it? [10:46] sweet [10:46] ty guys [10:46] jeimuzu, ok, well, I don't know what you're doing then. obviously the file dosn't exist. if you did a "ls install.sh" and it shows up, then we need to change the premissions of the file, but if it didn't show up, then you need to figure out where the file went [10:46] im installing this http://www.linux.com/articles/51230 [10:46] i have a P4 chip but the kernel is for 1386 is there a place i can download the kernel for that chip ?

[10:48] ohooi [10:48] how do i do that [10:48] fiction, tried pavucontrol ? [10:48] DistroJockey: free tells me I have a lot of swap, and I think the kinit error at boot is before it starts logging? [10:49] Could anyone have any idea why my wireless network refuses to login? [10:49] also what is the default root password? [10:49] Distrojocky, I'm pretty sure I have but I'll do it again just to be sure [10:49] jeeves__ the install file is in a folder called zinc-1.1.7 on my desktop [10:49] lordmetroid: there is none and never will be a root password [10:49] lordmetroid, may be your wireless router requires your MAC address [10:49] netsrot, I forgot what error kinit gave you and I don't do KDE much [10:49] owner_, System jeimuzu, so you'll have to do a "cd zinc-1.1.7", THEN run the install script [10:50] ssh public key pairs are created the same way as gpg public keys right? [10:50] ok thanks [10:50] hmm, how do I add such to the interface? [10:50] jeeves__: your good with computers right?

[10:53] testdisck2: what do you need help with [10:53] meoblast001, corect. you map the DNS gateway to be the server that's running it. that way, all the systems are channeling it's data through the server that does the package inspection [10:53] netsrot, me either really. But what is the issue/reason for asking? [10:54] jeeves__: so i can just forget about content control since its already taken care of? [10:54] meoblast001: ushare works great, but if I stop my wmvhd movie or restart my 360, it wont resume the movie [10:54] hi is there a better alternative to banshee in ubuntu??

Dansguardian is a pain in the butt to install and configure. so, as long as you have a content filter installed, just make sure that all the "client" systems are point to it. in reality, it should be ahead of your default gateway to the internet [10:56] jeeves__: ok... next step.... what programs are available that allow a teacher to monitor the screens of about 20 computers? [10:56] netsrot, I assume it's looking for a resume image on a swap partition. Maybe your /etc/fstab file is not quite correct [10:56] meoblast001, on Linux, I'm not sure.

[11:26] hi [11:26] Hey guys, I've been having a problem with Ubuntu that nobody seems to be able to fix. I posted on the forum but didn't get much response. Can anybody here maybe take a look at it since I'm wondering if I should file a bug report. The thread is located here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5411329 [11:26] I use Ubuntu. I'm currently using SSH through my desktop to my laptop and now my friend is watching my use irssi through screen. [11:27] I did have ssh like this Desktop>>Laptop>>Friend's vps>>Laptop [11:27] It's harcore ssh [11:27] See ya [11:28] bazhang, can u guide me along with the install please? [11:28] what does GTK mean?

[11:31] _sam_ make install config [11:32] Samiux, it is adjusting now only via nvidia-setting, i set them but i want to make a dimmer screen [11:32] <_sam_> RattX, sorry handnt installed from source.. i'd used the ubuntu latest deb from universe === walterego is now known as waltervos [11:32] ogzy, for some system it cannot be bright it up again when it is dimmed [11:33] How do I install awn-extras? I thought it came with awn, but it doesn't appear to be there. Thanks. [11:33] _sam_ apt-get install asterisk-config ?

[11:33] Samiux, how will i understand whether is can be dimmed or not? [11:33] Distrojockey: I set up a FAT32 partition to hold personal folders [11:33] waltervos, ahh [11:33] I have umask=003 [11:34] Works for all folders except for those that are linked to the personal folders in Vista [11:34] Uplink, after reading the install docs (in docs folder) it seems fairly simple; be sure to have build-essential installed and then follow the instructions there [11:34] bazhang, roger that [11:34] ogzy, maybe I misunderstand you question. Or you may try Gnome-applet. [11:34] <_sam_> RattX, trying dat now.. removed, now re-installing... [11:34] Samiux, power manager dimmes i up after 11 minutes, i arranged the settings and it gets black after 11 minutes and then back to normal life when i press a key [11:34] <_sam_> fingers crossed.. [11:34] waltervos, sorry, bit out of my area [11:34] _sam_ hope it helps [11:34] !find awn [11:34] Found: awn-manager, libawn-dev, libawn0, python-awn [11:34] it's a really strange problem that can't seem to be solved by simply doing some fstab stuff. [11:35] Distrojockey: so it seems to be for everybody :( [11:35] Samiux, gnome-applet is not working either, it even is not flickering nor giving an error, i can set the levet from the gnome-applet but it doesnt effect the brightness [11:36] waltervos, links to FAT should be fine, and access to them from Vista should also be painless [11:36] ogzy, oh I see. Try "system" > "preference" > "screen protection" to disable the dimming function. [11:37] ?!?!....holy crap [11:37] didnt think there would be this many people in here [11:37] well greetings anyways [11:37] DistroJockey: accessing from Vista is painless. Accessing from Ubuntu isn't. That's the thing. [11:37] Lvl21nerd - a whole new world [11:37] verily [11:37] DistroJockey: Linking to it is fine as well [11:37] Samiux, there is no screen protection under preferencea menu [11:38] i think this is called crowded [11:38] !paste [11:38] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[11:39] Uplink, that was with what command [11:39] DistroJockey: thanks for looking at it, I think I'll bump the thread once (or is that not allowed) and then maybe file a bug report [11:39] Samiux, is it 8.04? [11:39] bazhang, "sudo ./configure; make; make install" [11:40] ogzy, yes, it is 8.04. [11:40] Samiux, i think you are talking about screen saver [11:40] ok here goes....i have Ubuntu 8.04 64bit....when im installing how do i setup the swap partition? [11:40] ogzy, bingo. My worst translation :-) [11:40] waltervos, not sure on bumping rules but it has been a while, so worth a try [11:40] waltervos, good luck [11:40] Samiux, so it is activated what should i change at there? [11:41] Thanks! [11:41] Uplink, that was not what the install doc said to do [11:41] bazhang, i dont understand it :( [11:41] ?? [11:41] anyone?

[11:47] Samiux, there is not much thing to try only one part and i tried it already [11:47] Uplink, but you are choosing to install it [11:47] Samiux, is your gnome-applet working? [11:48] bazhang, am quite a bit of a babystep dude [11:48] 2 hard drives / both SATA II / Vista on one and Hardy 64bit on the other / have yet to get a decent explanation anywhere on the net [11:48] ogzy, I am also using nVidia GForce 8500 GT but I have no similar problem as you. Because I love brighter screen. [11:50] Samiux, i can make brighter too, i am just trying to set a dimmer screen, i am asking again is your gnome applet workin and making yoru screen darker with a low voltage so that you can save power [11:51] ogzy, I tried and it does not work at my side.

My LAN card is changing the MAC Address every time I reboot. And every time a new eth(X+1) is detected. Someone has an idea why this is happening? [12:07] olimpico, it has to be something with udev, try to search the web [12:07] clarezoe: 13:07 If your network card keeps changing its name each time (eth0, then eth1, then eth2, etc) and you are using the forcedeth driver, then edit /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules and replace the MAC address with "00:00:6c:*". [12:08] MaximLevitsky: But do you know how it is possible that the MAC address is modified? [12:08] MaximLevitsky: I though it was fixed [12:08] olimpico, I was going to ask about this too, this seems to be kernel bug, isn't it [12:09] hello room, for editing crontab, i used to do "export EDITOR=pico" and then edit the crontab file, is there anyway to permanently set the editor to Pico so that i wouldn't need to type 'export EDITOR=pico' again and again [12:09] hello [12:09] JohnC-: in your .bashrc, at the bottom, add "export EDITOR=nano" [12:09] MaximLevitsky: How can I prove or test what is making this?

[15:17] masterclimby: Yes [15:18] eagles0513875: just stat with the server install and just add the xserver and the kde base packages [15:18] bobbyd: thanks [15:18] troythetechguy: http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A [15:18] follow those instructions [15:18] then tell it to automaticly get your nvidia driver [15:18] How do I force my wireless WEP HEX authorization to grant me access to the network? [15:18] hello [15:18] masterclimby: Thanks. [15:19] when i used envy it never let me get to X server settings [15:19] troythetechguy: no prob [15:19] it said it wasn't running for some reason lo [15:19] how do I know that my harddisk (notebook) will not get problems short lifetime in ubuntu 8.04 ? [15:19] well its got a longer life than windows will [15:20] masterclimby, I read that exist one problem .. hdparm .. something like that [15:21] okay guys how should i setup these hard-drives.. they used to be raid+1 total 75 gigs for just the os and i figure thats more then enough for just ubuntu... but i never got the raid setup on install....how would i go bout using the 2nd drive would i beable to just mount it there? [15:21] hdparm is a command line utility for the Linux operating system to set and view IDE hard disk hardware parameters. [15:21] looking for a program to convert a .7z to .rar [15:21] It can set parameters such as drive caches, sleep mode, power management, acoustic management, and DMA settings. === C3s4r is now known as Bella [15:21] mattgman: just extract the 7zip and then compress it with rar [15:22] mattgman: you could write a little script to do that :) [15:22] bobbyd: says archive manager don't like it [15:22] mattgman: you need to install 7zip support [15:22] mattgman: sudo apt-get install p7zip in termenal [15:23] masterclimby, do you think that of good idea use "hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda" ? [15:23] and for rar do sudo apt-get install unrar [15:23] CrocoJet: what is -B for [15:23] !rar [15:23] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [15:23] Is there a peice of software that will list all the directories of an http site? Like, on linuxhack3r.com/ there is a directory called Images/, could I find a peice of software that when I type in linuxhack3r.com, it'll show the directories, subdirectories, etc? [15:23] archive manager should really ask you if you want to install those things if you try and open something that support exists for, but that isn't installed [15:23] thx masterclimby [15:24] matt___: wget [15:24] mattgman: no prob [15:24] bobbyd: it'll support that? Never new that, but I'll take a look at the man page [15:24] Anyone else that doesn't get sound on i.e youtube? sound works perfectly on everything but flash. [15:24] maltem, the buttons are back. Thank You Very Much! [15:25] matt___: use the recursive get options. There has to be a list of files accessible for it to spider, it can't find files that don't have links to them :) [15:25] bobbyd: So lets say I wanted to download everything I could find on linuxhack3r.com/, like a backup, how would i do this? [15:25] Hey all! Something weird happened to my ubuntu installation lately. I'm booting from an external hard drive and so far it's worked out great. Recently I installed VirtualBox. [15:25] candive, fine [15:25] matt___: wget -m http://linuxhack3r.com [15:26] bobbyd: and that would get subpages and stuff? [15:26] yes [15:26] maltem, :) chow.

[16:25] whitegourd-> you proly have to seek a friendly site that has those ip addr database ready for download [16:25] ahhh ok whitegourd try with squidguard i don't use but i have read about it [16:25] hello [16:25] can someone tell me how I can set up my web cam [16:25] ? [16:25] !webcam | ForsakenSoul|Zzz [16:25] ForsakenSoul|Zzz: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras === ForsakenSoul|Zzz is now known as ForsakenSoul [16:25] fyrestrtr: thanks [16:26] whitegourd-> curious, how do you know they are non work related sites? what criteria do you make? [16:27] amenado, such as social sites like myspace, facebook. Should not be accessed at work. [16:27] Is there any reason why Windows XP would get more than 1 megabyte a second download speed and ubuntu would not over wireless lan for a Linksys 802.11g network card? [16:28] whitegourd why not? what do your clients do for work? [16:28] ubuntu is maxing out at 100 KB /sec [16:28] you sure it isn't kbit? [16:28] GeekChick|-> look at what mode it is operating at? 11A 11B or 11G ? [16:29] Bogh, absolutely positive. I am transfering at over 1.5 MEGABYTES /sec now under WinXP. [16:29] amenado, they should be doing their work, not accessing unauthorized sites. [16:29] same PC [16:29] whitegourd: try implanting a chip into their brain, that would give you total control [16:29] whitegourd-> just playing with you, perhaps their jobs is to do research..make sure they are compatible :) [16:30] Bogh, I'd like to but I might get arrested. [16:30] whitegourd: stupid liberals ;-) [16:30] Hey, for ubuntu 8.04, is there a compatability list for wireless network cards? [16:30] Terabyte: pretty much all work with ndis wrapper [16:31] amenado, that's cool.. I was just wondering if it's possible to automate an already created "blacklist" and have it utilized for squid. [16:31] Bogh: including this one? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/88490/show_product_reviews [16:31] whitegourd-> and what would those unhappy workers would do if there are no way to vent out? :P perhaps you allow access time between lunch only [16:31] whitegourd, look my squid.conf the file /etc/squid/bloqueados r the pages that are locked to navigate [16:31] amenado, they could look for another job. === sysop is now known as Guest95707 [16:31] whitegourd-> i think thats possible, basically they are just list of ip addresses you can add to your iptable rules to be blocked :) [16:32] whitegourd: I dont have a clue of what you really want to do, but I hope it's not going to disrupt net access in unwanted ways.. at my university they seem to filter the word torrent from any http site [16:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=864209 new error [16:32] does anyones firefox's "set as desktop background" work? [16:32] ends up many many sites are blocked for nothing, and its a pain in the ass [16:32] whitegourd, → http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/28463/ [16:32] Hire better people. That's my suggestion. [16:32] plus they dont actually block torrents once you have the .torrent on your computer but thats another story :) [16:33] Well I'll check what mode it is under when i finish downloading the ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386 ISO at proper network speeds (Win XP). [16:33] whitegourd-> you are going to be really popular at your work, park your car away from the premises..hehe or take the bus [16:33] whitegourd, and the file /etc/squid/permitidos r my internal clients [16:33] simard: anonymizer ftw [16:33] GeekChick|: which wireless chipset is it? [16:33] Terabyte: yes it works, http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list_m-n/ [16:33] Bogh: thanks [16:34] rtu3478, not entirely sure anymore. i remember seeing rt2500 in the connection properties, so likely broadcom?

I want them to still access the internet. So I have down as "acl blacklist usrl_regex -i "/etc/squid/blacklist" \ http_access deny blacklist [16:37] bazhang, thanks i remember you were the first guy to give the link but it wouldn't let me install a library it needed, do you recall the other link given? [16:37] Terabyte: this is what you want: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto [16:37] rtu3478, nope. that actually was my new puppy. [16:37] wreckless thing [16:37] !kernel [16:37] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [16:38] clayg, that is the uck one there [16:38] how do i update a kernel on a wubi install? [16:38] snadge-> you found where the kernel is stashed? then put it there? [16:38] snadge, a normal update or compile your own [16:39] is there a command that will search network and respond back with ip addresses and computer names? [16:39] so... does it matter what kernel version i'm on? [16:39] it looks like its stored on the windows ntfs file system.. and uses a seperate boot loader which is not linked to the packaging system? [16:39] whitegourd, I put before the blocked sites than the permited IPs because it firs filter the unathorized sites and if there are permited now it comes to see if the ip its allowed to go internet [16:39] bbl [16:39] LhiQuer, perhaps [16:39] linos: ping the broadcast [16:39] bazhang, should i go to the latest? [16:39] LhiQuer, what version you have now [16:40] lemme check [16:40] im assuming grub cant boot a kernel inside a file on a filesystem.. so it boots the kernel off the ntfs filesystem, then mounts root etc? [16:40] Linux joe 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [16:40] fyrestrtr, pardon my ignorance, but what did you mean by that [16:40] snadge-> btw, wubi is pretty recent isnt it? you can even download just the wubi.exe and let it download needed files for install [16:40] waseidel, do you know of a way to wget a pre-defined blacklist so I can just use it in place of /etc/squid/blacklist? something like "urlblacklist"? [16:41] bazhang, Linux joe 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [16:41] LhiQuer, any reason not to? if you dont like the newer one you can always revert back in grub menu [16:41] amenado: wubi is a feature in hardy [16:41] snadge: and the kernel inside the ntfs filesystem is stored in what? Buckets? [16:41] snadge: grub can read files from the fs - it has some drivers built in [16:41] bazhang, how do i upgrade? [16:41] whitegourd, i've read about squidguard to make that but i not used yet [16:41] hi is there a nice comfortable way to get gnome apps to ask for root password instead of user password ? [16:41] LhiQuer, just normal update upgrade [16:41] i will reboot and see if the new kernel works, it just didnt on a friend of mines wubi install [16:41] snadge-> come again? wubi is for windows install base system not for linux.. [16:42] bazhang, cant see it [16:42] waseidel, yeah, I'll have to look deeper into squidguard. [16:42] linos: ping the broadcast address to get a response from all hosts on a network. [16:42] capiira, use sudo not root [16:42] wubi just means you can run ubuntu off an ntfs filesystem.. without having to create a dedicated partition for ubuntu [16:42] LhiQuer, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade (in terminal) [16:42] i prefer traditional linux way [16:42] capiira, that is not ubuntu way [16:43] The following packages have been kept back: [16:43] rss-glx [16:43] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. [16:43] maybe by removing the alias to root in /etc ? [16:43] capiira, what do you need root for? [16:43] capiira, what is do you need? [16:43] i want to remove user admin rights and let the administra applications ask for root pass [16:44] capiira, that way lies disaster [16:44] like if you get in as root? [16:44] for synaptic for example [16:44] hi [16:44] capiira, not a good idea at all. [16:44] hey [16:44] Is xchat significantly lighter than PIDGIN? [16:44] capiira, thats not a good idea [16:44] capiira: I think you just want to create normal users that are not admins [16:45] bazhang, the main reason being that i need my kernel headers to install the nvidia drivers, so i need a newer kernel [16:45] whileimhere, it is very light [16:45] i let's your ubuntu without protection [16:45] LhiQuer, envyng-gtk will do that for you iirc [16:45] ? [16:45] capiira-> but if you are just experimenting and like to pull hairs...go do, just be patient :P [16:45] for some reason my synaptic has recommended and unsupported repositories on and the others are off, and i cant do anything about it. any clues? [16:45] have a ? regarding fdisk here. wondering if anyone would help [16:45] bazhang: Is PIDGIN that heavy? [16:46] db92, you want to pastebin your sources.list [16:46] whileimhere: pidgins are quite light. [16:46] tinyardy: unless you ask the question, you'll keep on wondering. [16:46] tinyardy-> ask away and be specific [16:46] whileimhere, not used pidgin for irc; but since it is multi-use will likely be heavier [16:46] bazhang, remind me the dir again? [16:46] they way ubuntu is configured the main user could easily break the whole system [16:46] i am trying to use fdisk to remove the partition on a toshiba laptop (a305-s6858) [16:47] db92, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste to paste.ubuntu.com [16:47] need to fix this [16:47] it wont write the partition [16:47] hi good day guys my uncle wants to get ubuntu 64 i have 64 bit installed on my system, but my processor is amd his is intel should he download the 64 bit cd for amd, will it work for intel [16:47] capiira, then you are on your own [16:47] capiira go ahead try it, but if you get into trouble, there is the option to re-install [16:47] bazhang Since you know this are there any good light browsers out there that offer similar things to Firefox but are lighter or are they all based on the same engine and thus as heavy?

[16:48] Hydrogen: Isnt opera closed source? [16:48] yes [16:49] tinyardy: what is the partition type? [16:49] but worth every penny you don't spend to get it [16:49] Is firefox closed source? [16:49] no [16:49] I'm sure jesus will still like you if you use closed source software, however [16:49] db92, 56 and 57 are 3rd party; also you have backports enabled [16:49] I am not worried about jesus I am worried about Buddha! [16:50] LOL [16:50] bazhang, normally, no i had turned this off in the past [16:50] why do i get the feeling that Envy will damage my system? [16:50] whileimhere: you can try ephiphany web browser [16:50] bazhang, the 3rd party ones i know :PP [16:50] !envy [16:50] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [16:50] Sure now I change it [16:50] Thank you [16:50] LhiQuer, envyng is supported by ubuntu [16:50] hehe [16:50] epihipany uses gecko as well [16:50] bazhang: its not support by ubuntu [16:50] Sansan for some reason Ephiphany doesn't work with all websites I visit.

[16:51] fyrestrtr, will be in linux-restricted-modules for ibex [16:51] I have a weird problem with my computer. My laptop's iwlist detects my home's wiresless router, and I even typed in the password, but it doesn't connect. [16:52] it is not support// [16:52] Changed ^_^ [16:52] bazhang: then it is not supported. [16:52] So Opera is free on Linux but not on Windows? [16:52] envy is not fyrestrtr ; envyng is [16:52] whileimhere: its free everywhere. [16:52] whileimhere: you can try IE with wine. :P [16:52] This is officially a weird error. i tried "gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" on the alternate cd and got this error "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSegmentation fault (core dumped)" [16:53] GC|: you have a bigger problem. [16:53] Okay so how does Opera stay alive as a closed source web browser if its free? Does it make the user watch ads or something? [16:53] whileimhere, offtopic here [16:53] The system is still alive though. [16:54] wow, envy chucks errors at me [16:54] whileimhere: opera.com [16:54] there are a lot of freeware closed sourcesoftware. [16:54] LhiQuer, dont use envy; envyng is what you need [16:54] it' swhat i'm using [16:54] LhiQuer, gutsy? [16:54] I swear. I should just nuke ubuntu and stay with XP.

[16:56] GC|: your installed ubuntu version is 8.04 or 7.10? [16:56] 7.10 [16:56] GC|: okay, that's why the rt2500 card is slow [16:56] so i WAS going to upgrade the kernel, so i could get some headers for it [16:56] but i need to do that [16:57] GC|: the new ralink driver is in kernel 2.6.24 [16:57] but i dont know the details of what to do [16:57] LhiQuer, look in synaptic [16:57] Why would my computer detect a wireless network but not be able to log onto it? [16:57] emosamurai, is the essid hidden [16:57] bazhang, my headers arent there [16:57] rtu3478, have they fixed grub's nasty tendency to install itself on the nearest PATA drive rather than the BIOS assigned master (an SATA)? [16:58] How do I find that out, bazhang? Do I iwlist again? [16:58] GC|: don't know. i have only one hard disk in my comp [16:58] emosamurai, that would be set in the router [16:58] when I minimize xchat on ubuntu 804 -- I don't see a system tray icon for xchat ??

When I was testing Hardy these caused a lot of issues but again I thought they had been fixed. I use a Turion X2 and FF3 seems pretty stable now.

It always worked until yesterday. [17:46] any ideas? [17:46] LhiQuer, having the bad sources.list, using envy, along with the wrong kernel, you might consider reinstalling [17:46] I didn't install anything yesterday. [17:46] LhiQuer, should you what? replace the sources list with the one bazhang said, yes... [17:46] emosamurai1337, update broke it? [17:46] bazhang, I NEVER USED ENVY [17:46] sebrock_: strange -- could just be incomplete/bad chipset support. [17:46] bazhang: maybe. [17:47] hi [17:47] sebrock_: any other problems with the system?
