[00:10] has anyone seen glitsj16 [00:10] cinelerra is very crash prone [00:10] REdOG: you probably need to add a few repos [00:10] ubuntu_: you can try ctrl-alt-+ [00:10] how do i check what device drivers are installed in ubuntu [00:11] deepak: device drivers or devices? [00:11] !de [00:11] anyone has any advice/help at all??

I just installed a USB2.0 PCI card. [00:12] and enable all the repos [00:12] regeya... but is the only decent video editor i know [00:12] ... [00:12] Sydero: I don't have those commands [00:12] commands :S [00:13] aren't you running a desktop environment? [00:13] is there a way I can force the monitor resolution tool to let me change my resolution to anything I want? [00:13] Sydero: no its a server version [00:13] ubuntu_: Nope [00:13] Ubuntu_: it's an issue of proper detection of the device [00:13] Do you have the multiverse repos? [00:13] hey all.. .is there a command i can use to find all wireless hosts on a WLAN? [00:13] i need to get their IPs,etc [00:14] sirjoebob: perhaps use nmap [00:14] genii: really? Its almost unusable, can't I force it somehow? [00:14] anyone seen glitsj16 [00:14] Sydero: dunno...where would they be? [00:14] hmmm [00:14] Hi ! [00:14] SOMEONE use cinelerra ??

[00:14] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse [00:14] sirjoebob, errm, just wireless hosts? not wired ones? [00:15] ubuntu_: 1) Yes, really 2) Unfortunate The tool will only let you use resolutions which it senses through the xorg.conf file and detection of the monitor type are compatible together [00:15] unop, either is fine but i really just need the wireless ones [00:15] how to enter unicode character in gnome console ? [00:15] sirjoebob, nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24 [00:15] REdOG: just uncomment whatever is there [00:16] Sydero: its not commented [00:16] everything [00:16] uncomment all the repos :P [00:16] sirjoebob, substituting the network there with your own [00:16] Hallo! [00:16] sirjoebob: If your wap has it, some can list the current list of machines which have an ip assigned by it. Usually in the web admin pages [00:16] genii: I know my actual ubuntu install lets me change the refresh rate to settings my monitor doesn't support, and that can cause real damage, I think it was an option in the alternate installer, but you said the xorg.conf file, could I change that to allow different resolutions? [00:16] ubuntu_: Yes but use with caution [00:17] genii: where is the xord.conf located on the liveCD? [00:17] unop, i think hat is what i needed, [00:17] genii, thanks for the help.. i should be good from there [00:17] xord!!!!!!!!!!!1 [00:17] xorg [00:17] it's probably located in the ram [00:17] and created each time [00:18] Sydero, I bet that its in the fake filesystem though, so where is it in a normal install?

[00:21] Here's a pastebin of "dmesg |grep -i usb" http://pastebin.ca/1085636 Does it look proper? I just installed a USB2.0 PCI card.

Ubuntu server is a linux distro is it not? [00:22] can someone help me ? [00:22] extor: but that's a more kernel-specific question, i think your better off there [00:23] ubuntu_: Thats the part which you will need to carefully consider since it can damage things. Look up the specs for your equipment and choose some safe settings [00:23] no offense though [00:23] nach: As the terminal is set to use unicode, anything you type is in the unicode character encoding. [00:23] Please i lost the site that learn me the terminal commands [00:23] Drk_Guy, well ubuntu could have packages for it [00:23] !commands > krazy-h [00:23] krazy-h, please see my private message [00:23] extor: Ummm... the linux kernel is ubuntu's core === henri is now known as Elo [00:24] errr [00:24] hi i'm trying to mount an ISO image of a language cd for the rosetta stone which i am running through WINE but when i use the mount command it says "can't find 'myfile' in etc/fstab or etc/mtab... what does this mean?

[00:25] 1280x1024 is not widescreen [00:25] Sydero: that's kinda risky, personally, i would use winecfg [00:25] genii, i just tried that and there is a host that is not showing at all for some reason. i know the pc is on and online and will not show up with the nmap scan [00:25] genii: thank you, i'll give it a try [00:26] My external disk is finally mounted, but when I navigate to /media/ no disk is there.

[00:26] so that doesn't make sense [00:27] what? [00:27] what a good graphics card with 3d acceleration for linux and window and plenty of memory at a decent price "do i need to specify current comp specification"? [00:27] ubuntu_: There are many articles to be found on the subject through google [00:27] a nvidia card [00:27] genii, i just tried that and there is a host that is not showing at all for some reason. i know the pc is on and online and will not show up with the nmap scan [00:27] sirjoebob: I saw and responded to you the first time [00:27] Sydero, last time I checked, 1024 pixels was bigger tha 960 pixels [00:27] genii, not sure why that came back up... lol... but anyways, it is using DHCP [00:27] 0.0 why so serious?? [00:27] lol ubuntu_ [00:27] yeah [00:27] 0.0 why so serious?? [00:27] anyone know of some good books on Xubunut [00:27] lets put a smile on that face [00:27] 1280 is width and 1024 is height [00:28] hahahaha [00:28] why is the swap partition so big when it never gets used at all [00:28] widescreen is defined by proportion [00:28] not amount of pixels [00:28] a smaller height, means it's wider [00:28] if width remains [00:28] someone told me to make my swap twice the size of my ram, so i did, and now i feel i have wasted 3.9GB [00:28] Sydero, oops, I was getting x and y confused [00:28] geez batman comments floating around [00:28] lol... sorry [00:29] sirjoebob: If the machine does not respond to any traffic except that which it's own self has begun then nmap or other tools will just see it as a black hole [00:29] sirjoe its ok I loved the movie too it was awesome [00:29] you have linuxfce, depending on the apps you use [00:29] linuxfce: well as long as you're not hibernating, a 1 to 1 ratio would work. you can even put the swap to like 256 mb if your ram is like 2 gigs or you can just not use swap at all [00:29] Hi linuxfce [00:29] oh ok thanks, i guess i'll delete that partition and add its space to my junk partition [00:29] genii: i'm still getting Invalid command 'ProxyPass', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration [00:30] LoCaLMaChInE. saw it for the second time last night on imax [00:30] The "options" command no longer works in terminal, any suggestions? [00:30] hey drk_guy [00:30] what do I do if I don't wanna restart after installing scim-something [00:30] linuxfce: I've pm'ed you [00:30] was there ever an "option" command? [00:30] so guys [00:30] options [00:30] damn When I saw it I was like I am gonna see it again [00:30] why can I not change my workspace? [00:30] and yes i used it for configuring nvidia reg dwords [00:31] but it no longer works [00:31] any ideas? [00:31] cata|nix eh... alt + ctrl + left or right - [00:31] about? [00:31] linuxfce: I got your solution [00:31] i know that [00:31] lol [00:31] or. you can tweak it [00:31] hi! [00:31] Can you install 8.04 over 8.04 and not lose your data? Just currious. [00:31] what do I do if I don't wanna reboot after installing scim-something [00:31] any one ever use a handyboard microcontrollerZ [00:31] ejsilver26: you can if your /home is on a different partition [00:31] that doesn't work, and Ican't click on it in the panel, but I can zoom out and see them, but I can't go left or right to change them [00:32] ej: you'll probably lose your settings [00:32] Hello [00:32] ejsilver26: you can also tar up your /home back it up, reinstall 8.04, then untar the /home partition back [00:32] Damned. I'm trying to fix my sound. It worked on the live CD (that's what I'm using now), but not after my upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 (auto through synaptic). [00:33] ceej: After you install whatever mod to apache2, you need to enable it by symlinking in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to /etc/apache2/mods-available There are normally two of these .load and .conf Then you need restart of apache2 [00:33] has anyone used a linux version of media center? [00:33] How would I find, partition/format, and then mount a hard drive via terminal? [00:34] LoCaLMaChInE: Ask in #linuxmce please [00:34] ntfs-config is probably the easiest way [00:34] gotcha [00:34] genii: would you be able to give me an example of how to do that ? [00:34] can anyone tell me how to completely uninstall KDE? all the related packages without affecting gnome? [00:34] sudo apt-get remove kde [00:34] then sudo apt-get autoremove :P [00:34] ejsilver26: please no swearing its a family oriented channel thanks. [00:34] probably [00:35] that only removes kde....not all the associated packages.... [00:35] cptr13 I am gonna do the same [00:35] hence autoremove [00:35] just installed eeexubuntu 7.10 on my eee 900, is it smart to stay at 7.10 or does it make sense to upgrade to 8.04 LRS? [00:35] Blaqlight: My apologies... Didn't think it was that bad. [00:35] so, friedtofu, any other suggestions? [00:35] !eeepc | trask [00:35] is it possible with nm-applet to switch hosts file according to the network you're on? [00:35] trask: Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [00:36] hmmm wrong thing [00:36] anyways join #eeepc [00:37] anyone know how to completely remove kde? [00:37] I told you [00:37] lol [00:37] autoremove removes the rest [00:37] !puregnome | cptr13 [00:37] cptr13: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [00:37] is there any real difference from using iwconfig wlan0 up, or, ifup wlan0 ? [00:37] ahh ok thanks I'll try that [00:37] How would I find, partition/format, and then mount a hard drive via terminal? [00:37] in xorg.conf, which part identifys my monitor, the screen section or the monitor section? [00:37] ManualOverDozer: yes. use ifup. [00:37] http://miesco.homelinux.org/~shawn/Screenshot01.png -- How come the fonts are not correct and its all messy? [00:38] alex-weej: any particular reason ? [00:38] cptr13: it works flawlessly. [00:38] ManualOverDozer: ifup will do things like actually configure the wireless connection via the settings in /etc/network/interfaces [00:38] cptr13: Ive tried it myself :D [00:38] ceej: eg: sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf; sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.load; sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [00:38] Miesco: the link doesn't work [00:38] doing it now...looks great [00:38] lol [00:38] thanks so much [00:38] sorry I didn't catch that the firs time [00:38] cptr13: :D [00:39] my usb keyboard rarely stops working in X, but can switch to console and restart udev [00:39] genii: thank you, I'll give it a go [00:39] ceej: don't do that [00:39] ceej: use a2enmod instead [00:39] genii: ^^ [00:39] How does one find a newly-added internal drive while navigating the Terminal? [00:39] ooo how would i use that ? [00:39] alex-weej: another question: how come when i do ifdown wlan0 when i open System/Administration/Netowkr it still shows as activated (checkbox checked) ? [00:40] ceej: like so: sudo a2enmod [00:40] Sydero: didnt answer my question but a lot of others i had :P [00:40] ceej: and sudo a2dismod to disable a module [00:40] ceej: You may want to follow alex-weej's advice. I am used to the manual method but the other way is likely more proper :) [00:40] is it possible to setup automated ssh portforwarding through init.d/rc system with system keys rather than user based auth? [00:40] I've installed Ubuntu to a flash memory stick as a persistent install. How long till it starts thrashing the drive too much? [00:40] ManualOverDozer: are you using Network Manager? [00:40] ok [00:40] alex-weej: yes [00:41] KenBW2: They are usually good for about 1000 read/write cycles [00:41] alex-weej: i would rather use just command-line [00:41] ManualOverDozer: if you edit the connection in the network admin, do you have "Roaming Mode" enabled? [00:41] genii: what does that mean in terms of hours? [00:41] alex-weej: i don't see mod_proxy there, would it be proxy_html? [00:41] 2 hours :P [00:41] alex-weej: no, i manually add the information [00:41] or proxy [00:41] ceej: It's the userdir one [00:41] So no one knows how to mount a drive in terminal? [00:42] Sydero: is that a joke? [00:42] ok ty [00:42] possibly ;) [00:42] Do u consider urself a man? If u do, then u just might b da man I need 4 da job. I am looking for a male jackoff partner to live with me during football season. Each time my fav team(NE Patriots) score, we jack eachother off. Each time Tom Brady throws a TD pass, we suck eachother off. Big dicks prefered. PLEASE SHOW ME A DICK PIC. No dick pic, I will ignore you. So let me know if ur da man i need 4 da job. [00:42] ManualOverDozer: so when you do ifconfig down, you're breaking Debian Networking's internal state i think [00:42] hmmm interesting pm [00:42] Fishscene: mount /dev/sdx /mount/point [00:42] alex-weej: but i see a descrepency , iwconfig shows differnt. can i use just ifconfig/ifup soley and remove netowrk manager completely ? [00:42] KenBW2: Varies wildly. If you have swap on it then maybe a couple months [00:42] http://miesco.homelinux.org/~shawn/Screenshot01.png -- How come the fonts are not correct and its all messy? (should work now) [00:42] Ken, how do I know what drive it is? [00:42] !language [00:42] Sydero [00:42] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:42] k [00:43] Sydero, genii: I've been getting "Input/Output errors" on files - is that it telling me it's dying? [00:43] ManualOverDozer: you may remove n-m completely but you should configure your devices in /etc/network/interfaces and use ifup / ifdown instead of ifconfig [00:43] alex-weej: yes, i thought it was messing with it. can i safely remove Network Manager and run solely command-line connect ? [00:43] alex-weej: thank you much [00:43] Does anyone here use ubuntu server? If so how does it compare with debian? [00:43] genii: xorg.conf has me very confused, could you please tell me what to add to my xorg.conf to "support" 1280 x 800? [00:43] genii: did you say i had to reboot the server ? [00:43] So my question now is, How do I find an unmounted hard drive? [00:44] MIRCBRAAD and Tortilla_Sam spamming me. mods please advise them, thank you in advance [00:44] Fishscene: fdisk -l [00:44] ManualOverDozer: ifconfig only deals with one particular layer of the networking stuff i think [00:44] KenBW2: Likely, yes. Although it can be it needs a fsck then option of "sync" on / mount to always write data when it is generated. Otherwise it caches and sends in bursts. This means if pulled out prematurely data is half read/write state on it [00:44] ManualOverDozer: in particular the link layer [00:44] ceej: No reboot is neded [00:44] Fishscene: all your devices are in /dev/ internal hd start's with sd [00:44] ceej: Just: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [00:44] genii: well i've only just (re)installed it and on 2nd boot it's giving these eroors [00:44] genii: i restarted apache and i still get the error Invalid command 'ProxyPass', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration [00:45] ManualOverDozer: for ethernet, you need to e.g. run dhclient in order to get an IP address automatically [00:45] alex-weej: i have run into NetManager messing with my connection before, and i thought it was because i was doing command-line. i dont like NetManager anyhow, so it is toast [00:45] ManualOverDozer: whereas ifup/ifdown will do all that automatically [00:45] alex-weej: yes, they seem like they fighting each other [00:45] Sydero: See it? [00:45] yeah [00:45] whats with all the spam bots in here? [00:45] ManualOverDozer: network-mangler deals with a very specific usecase. don't look back if you don't need it. [00:45] maybe it's just a theme problem [00:45] not sure [00:45] Sydero: It uses fltk, does that happen on your ubuntu? [00:46] slight problem with browsing the dev directory. There's so many devices that my screen is filled and I can't read any sdx devices [00:46] anyone know how to stop unsolicited PM's in irssi/weechat? [00:46] NetManager, you had your chance, bye bye :) [00:46] I am getting a bad superblock when inserting my SD card into my ubuntu box [00:46] Sydero: Themes only affect gtk..., its fltk [00:46] yet it works fine with Sabayon [00:46] alex-weej: thank you [00:46] Fishscene: have a look at gparted. you can tell from the size which is which [00:46] ceej: Sounds like instead an auth module you may require [00:46] genii: so would you not recommend using a memory stick as a portable Ubuntu? [00:46] is gparted a GUI program? [00:46] Fishscene: yes [00:46] I'm using Ubuntu 8 Server [00:46] genii: due to the limited life [00:47] KenBW2: I would recommend against it, yes [00:47] genii: im trying to do http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/AlterEgo/default/show/17 [00:47] genii: eugh, i got sick of Vista and it's not my PC :( [00:47] !gparted | Fishscene [00:47] i have a s3 via 3d card , i installed the ubuntu , i have problem with 3d [00:47] Fishscene: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [00:47] ceej: OK, looking there for clues what module it may want [00:47] genii: ty [00:47] Installing a GUI on Ubuntu server is not an option for me =( [00:48] Fishscene: what about sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? [00:48] :D [00:48] what would I add to xorg.conf to allow "Monitor Resolution Tool" to change resolution to 1280 x 800? [00:48] Ken, It's not so much an impossibility as it is additional overhead and not acceptable to my superiors [00:48] use something like ion KenBW2 ;) [00:48] Does iptables have it's own place in /proc/net? I thought iptables was just a tool to alter netfilter which is the real talker to the kernel? [00:48] i installed SELinux on kubuntu and at shutdown, it will say "mount: can't find /selinux in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" what is wrong? [00:48] Sydero: ion? [00:49] ubuntu_: what graphics hardware are you on? you shouldn't need anything at all. [00:49] it's a minimal de [00:49] I appreciate the help though guys :) [00:49] that allows multiple windows [00:49] Fishscene: ah. well doesnt fdisk -l show the sizes to you? [00:49] Does ubuntu restrict overclocking nvidia cards? [00:49] ceej: The "mod_wsgi" it speaks of seems to not be available in standard ubuntu list of apache2 modules [00:49] alex-weej: a laptop, running off a live CD, I need to get it nice looking so my mom will install it. [00:49] fdisk -l doesn't seem to do anything [00:49] Sydero: how do you mean? [00:49] Fishscene-> you can certainly use parted in the command line [00:49] genii: I'm using mod_proxy not mod_wsgi [00:49] Fishscene: it should list all plugged in devices [00:49] genii: you can use either or [00:50] oops! hold on [00:50] I didn't run fdisk with sudo. just a sec [00:50] hallo [00:50] ubuntu_: gnome-look.org [00:50] does anyone know about SCIM ? [00:50] ion is like Fvwm, PWM3, ratpoison [00:50] !SCIM > samasutra [00:50] samasutra, please see my private message [00:51] it's a window manager [00:51] and not really a de [00:51] KenBW2: I need it to be in a readable resolution before I add that [00:51] Sydero: oh you mean for Fishscene's problem [00:51] I forget :( [00:51] ubuntu_: oh it's screwed up? [00:51] extor what are you looking for in /proc/net ? [00:51] ubuntu_ you don't enter resolutions into xorg.conf [00:51] well you don't need to [00:51] for ubuntu [00:51] KenBW2: Won't let me set it higher than 800x600 [00:52] Sydero: then how do I do it? [00:52] amenado, for whatever is there [00:52] somehow you don't have the right drivers [00:52] can some1 help me with a error message in virtualbox, trying to get it running [00:52] Sydero: eugh, but Vista is sooo annoying. I thught i'd sorted it with the memory stick, till it thrashed it :( [00:52] extor rephrase the problem please [00:52] I meant using ion just as something nice on your server [00:52] ubuntu_: do you anything about xorg.conf? [00:52] ubuntu_: please file a bug report [00:52] im having trouble with a new install of ubuntu getting my ati radeon 9000 card to work. Im kinda a noob :-) [00:53] KenBW2: I don't really know anything about it, but I have it open. [00:53] ubuntu_: hmm, me niether [00:53] Elliott: gksu jockey-gtk should help you [00:53] cool [00:53] ubuntu_: have you made sure you have all the graphics drivers enabled? [00:53] Sydero: I just need xorg.conf to fix it until I can stop using a liveCD, then I might go driver hunting. [00:54] KenBW2: I was suggesting ion to you, so that you can have more than one window open at a time [00:54] to monitor things [00:54] easily [00:54] amenado, the problem was jsut that I was looking for the most resource efficient method of shaping traffic--ie throttling traffic based on IP address. So I was poking around in /proc/net to see what it is that the kernel itself prefers to be used [00:54] Hot Dog! We're making progress. :) Now, how would I format this drive? /dev/sdb [00:54] Sydero: ah, you mean in Vista? [00:54] no [00:54] for your server [00:54] KenBW2: Don't think so, but it hasn't prompted me to do anything, I'll see what happens if I try to enable desktop effects. [00:54] Sydero: i think you have me confused with someone else [00:55] hmm, the trouble is that nothing sows up the drivers window [00:55] :S [00:55] k [00:55] Sydero: im the one with the thrashed memory stick [00:55] oh [00:55] well don't use it anymore :P [00:56] Sydero: indeed :P [00:56] extor, am still struggling how to use tc, sorry bud cant help you much on traffic shaping [00:56] KenBW2: could not enable desktop effects. "Darn" [00:56] Sydero: wonder if the PC's owner will notice a few GB's going missing :P [00:56] i tried installing the open source driver but it didnt work. Im mainly trying to get the visual effects to work [00:56] ubuntu_: go to System > Admin > Restricted Drivers or something [00:56] http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=traffic+shaping+ubuntu [00:56] ceej: I think you might want libapache2-mod-python so your python scripts will run in apache [00:57] Hello [00:57] any one here use gnomedo app wit the google maps plugin? [00:57] Sydero: Do you know what I should add to xorg.conf to change it? [00:57] no [00:57] genii: I know mod_proxy is what i need...is there no apt-get for that ? [00:57] sorry [00:57] inst it supost i /etc/passwd /bin/false to the root and ... there is no possibility from identiy with sudo ?! to join root?! [00:57] amenado, tc is just a wrapper that works on netfilter, correct? [00:57] KenBW2: I don't think thats an option on a liveCD, I can't seem to see it [00:58] genii: because web2py runs as its own server then i use ProxyPass to point to that server [00:58] Hi, entering passwords after bringing up Sudo in the terminal console won't work [00:58] ubuntu_: probably means you dont need to use any [00:58] ubuntu_: how old is your PC? [00:59] LobbyZ, what do you mean? [00:59] KenBW2: its a new laptop, but again, its running off a liveCD, so I think things might be different [00:59] extor am not too sure [00:59] ubuntu_: usually works even in liveCD mode [00:59] amenado, it works on the kernel level, right? [01:00] dolphin_noel-> the /bin/false entry on /etc/passwd prevent a user from logging in [01:00] well i'm trying out this; https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/dualboot-custom.html and after doing a sudo (sudo cp menu.lst menu_backup.lst) etc then it requests a password for my useraccount and when i try to enter it it won't type [01:00] extor yes at that level [01:00] anyone here know what I would need to add to xorg.conf for the monitor resolution tool to let me set my resolution to 1280x800, even if I doesn't think it supports it? [01:00] dolphin_noel, you don't want to change root's shell to /bin/false tho [01:00] ubuntu_: I don't think you can force it [01:00] LobbyZ: you wont see anything appear. that is ok. just type it nyways. [01:00] oh ok [01:00] amenado so why ... i can log whith sudo ?! [01:00] LobbyZ: it is for security... [01:00] LobbyZ, sudo does not echo any characters back to the screen [01:00] ubuntu_: i cant remember exactly the syntax but theres an app called xrandr [01:01] Sydero, someone told me that you can use xorg.conf to do it [01:01] ah ok [01:01] Thanks for the help [01:01] dolphin_noel-> you can sudo from lets say user1 to user2 ? [01:01] Has anyone here successfully ran selinux? [01:01] on ubuntu [01:01] I love you guys so much. [01:01] dolphin_noel-> i dont think so [01:02] ah it worked, thanks alot [01:02] amenado and where i can block this?! to disable admins acounts?! [01:02] BYe [01:02] dolphin_noel-> you are all over, you have not answered my question [01:02] amenado i try to put /bin/false and keeps makes me login to the root:x [01:02] amenado yes i can ... from the acount that i have admin ... acess to the root [01:02] to use the sudo [01:02] ceej: ls /etc/apache2/mods-available/ has some which could be applicable [01:03] dolphin_noel-> am confused...you want to sudo from user1 to user2 ? [01:03] How do you flush the DNS cache in Ubuntu since it doesn't have a specific service like nscd? [01:03] dolphin_noel, if you want to prevent users from becomming root through sudo - remove their capability from /etc/sudoers [01:03] amenado no i just think that if i put in /etc/passwd /bin/false in the user root >>> i willbe able to not can login or use the sudo ... [01:04] and the root acount will be disabled ... and only can be used if the kernel run in ... recovery [01:04] oh [01:04] could anyone help me? [01:04] to i only use the acount to put the updates nathing more [01:04] ubuntu_: still there? [01:04] dolphin_noel-> i would not do it myself, dont know what the side effects will be, and if you really need to get into root, you're SOL [01:04] trying to use cedega [01:04] dolphin_noel, how are you becomming root here? [01:04] KenBW2: hmm, xrandr doesn't let me change it. Yes, i'm still here [01:04] !cedega [01:04] cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega [01:05] amenado i allready try and dont work that why ... im asking ... lol [01:05] but nope [01:05] what i have set up is 'xradr -s 1024x768' [01:05] if there is not supost the root be disabled to?! [01:05] I've already installed cedega [01:05] ubuntu_: what i have set up is 'xrandr -s 1024x768' [01:05] dolphin_noel-> we have advised you not to do it like that, just remove entries in /etc/sudoers file [01:05] diego_: i beleive there is a #cedega channel... they might be able to help you better... [01:05] yep [01:05] my problem [01:05] KenBW2: Not found in available modes. [01:05] amenado maby the acount is disabled just the sudo not ... [01:05] :( [01:06] is that a game doesn't run with cedega [01:06] dolphin_noel, root is not actually disabled -- it's just locked - meaning you cannot directly log on as root [01:06] dolphin_noel-> as per unop said.. [01:06] unop so i cannost direct log asroot but i can use sudo is this?! [01:06] Hey, I have a question [01:06] hey i have ubuntu 5.1 and i have a 8. what ever cd can i upgrade with out booting from cd [01:06] dolphin_noel, correct [01:06] ohh ok tes i understand thank you very much :) [01:06] ubuntu_: i think it has to be in xorg.conf already [01:06] i'm doing my first server install and i wanted to set up software raid 0 array....is there a terminal/gui partition editor i could use for this? [01:06] it's been bugging me since I first used Ubuntu years ago: What the fuck does mouse "sensitivity" do? [01:06] i'm sure to the desktop version [01:07] since acceleration changes the sensitivity [01:07] unop amenado so what advice you can give to me to i can disabled and enable one admin acount when i need it?! [01:07] !language | Dominoes [01:07] Dominoes: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:07] KenBW2: which is why i've been asking how to add it. >.< [01:07] seriously :/ [01:07] dolphin_noel-> via sudoers file [01:07] dolphin_noel, by default -- only the first user can use sudo (is part of the admin group) [01:07] ubuntu_: yea, sorry - sending you in circles [01:07] amenado recover system and make one user admin and after that disabled it?! [01:07] dolphin_noel, any other users you create cannot use sudo [01:08] dolphin_noel, unless off course you put them also in the admin group [01:08] KenBW2: don't worry, its not your fault. My problem is a little bit out there. [01:08] amenado unop ok thank you very much :) [01:08] hey if ubuntu is based on debian can i use the debian wine [01:08] dolphin_noel-> it is not necessary to turn on and off a specific user ability to sudo..just leave one user..thats it [01:08] I wouldn't billy [01:09] I'm sick of Vista, and using someone else's PC. Anyone know a reliable way to use an persistent install of Ubuntu on a drive that wont die after a day? [01:09] just install it from apt-get [01:09] billy: No, but wine is in the repos. [01:09] hello [01:09] you could use a harddrive KenBW2 :P [01:09] billy, not really -- the packages from debian's repo might not be binary compatible with ubuntu [01:09] well i have a older ubuntu versoin and cant find a older wine [01:09] Sydero: i dont have one lying around :P [01:09] KenBW2-> yeah get a drive or use another partition within your hd.. [01:09] KenBW2: ubuntu will install on a usb drive. [01:09] buy a usb harddrive [01:10] Hello [01:10] hello all! i got a question about usb modems and wvdial. cant really figure out how to use the gnome-ppp app with my current isp subscription, so using couple of "handmade" scripts. however the script to connect is pretty basic and if i wont to disconnect i have to hit ctrl-c, but if i just close terminal window i still will be connected [01:10] billy, i believe wine.org has an ubuntu repository - you might find newer versions of wine in it [01:10] I am trying to install new software from Ubuntu running inside vmware and it cant do that, it says "authenticating the upgrade failed, there might be a problem with the connection or the server?" [01:10] Blaqlight: i did that - its killed it with too many read/writes [01:10] KenBW2: w00t, I just found out how to do it from wikipedia [01:10] billy: wine is in universe, you'll need to enable universe. Also, if that version isn't satisfactory, winehq has a repository for Ubuntu (all supported versions) [01:10] KenBW2-> i'd love to sell you my 3.2 gig drive :P [01:10] i need a older versoin [01:10] ubuntu_: the fount of all knowledge :D [01:10] KenBW2: use a usb harddrive ;) [01:10] billy, which version? [01:10] amenado: not very portable :( [01:10] i made a gksudo killall wvdial application launcher, will that disconnect the usbmodem or just mess up+ [01:10] !wine | billy [01:10] billy: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [01:10] ? [01:10] Sydero: not very portable :( [01:10] i remember in the old days, spread sheet runs on DOS user interface, is there a spread sheet program that runs in command line? no-gui, terminal ssh version [01:10] amenado one user one crack ... one passsword ... one access lol [01:10] i have ubuntu 5.1 [01:10] Why does a guided LVM put all the available space in the / partition? You can't shrink that while its up, so then whats the pointin the LVM? [01:10] KenBW2: you could use a live cd + usb flash drive [01:11] Sydero: how would that work? [01:11] billy: You really should upgrade to 6.06, 5.10 isn't recieving any security updates. [01:11] save all your personal files to the drive :P [01:11] Sydero: yea but apps, configs etc [01:11] well this is tempary [01:11] yeah KenBW2 thats what I meant, usb flash drive lol [01:11] dolphin_noel-> do not forget a root is a user too..so your statement applies [01:11] bluelight: i think the name is oleo.. [01:11] I thought linux had a filesystem designed for flash drives [01:11] Blaqlight: you mean as Sydero is suggesting? [01:11] Sydero: it does?! [01:11] KenBW2: yes [01:12] I thought so [01:12] do you know how to change the speed at which the window list pulsates to notify me of something? [01:12] !info oleo [01:12] oleo (source: oleo): GNU spreadsheet program. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.99.16-10ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 399 kB, installed size 1392 kB [01:12] I am trying to install new software from Ubuntu running inside vmware and it cant do that, it says "authenticating the upgrade failed, there might be a problem with the connection or the server?" [01:12] bluelight: ^ [01:12] don't authenticate ;) [01:12] amenado right ... :) lol [01:12] KenBW2: time to reset x and see if this works. [01:12] i'm doing my first server install and i wanted to set up software raid 0 array....is there a terminal/gui partition editor i could use for this? [01:12] Sydero: the tutorial i used suggested ext2 [01:12] hmmm [01:12] kool i found wine for 5.1 :) [01:13] !info sc > bluelight, [01:13] bluelight,, please see my private message [01:13] dolphin_noel-> so you want to spend time cracking root? go ahead :P [01:13] Sydero: i could ask nicely :P [01:13] hmmm [01:13] Sydero: if he'll et me install it i mean [01:13] coul anyone help me with cedega? No one in the cedega channel wants to help me [01:13] unop: I figured out how to set the background in fluxbox fbsetbg however it doesn't stay through logouts. [01:13] what are apps like pice and pine considered? are they gui's ? [01:14] no [01:14] PICO not pice [01:14] in a minute will some one guide this linux noob threw a proper wine instal [01:14] pine is a mail client [01:14] Blaqlight: add the line to you ~/.fluxbox/startup file [01:14] pico is a text editor [01:14] amenado that why i was thinking using /bin/false to lol [01:14] w33d5: No, they're console apps. (pico and pine are actually nano and mutt in Ubuntu, as the former two aren't free) === _Kagee is now known as Kagee [01:14] Blaqlight, have you placed the command in your startup file? [01:14] neither are guis [01:14] Odd-rationale, unop I did. [01:14] KenBW2: nope, didn't work, xrandr still doesn't let me switch modes. :( [01:14] ubuntu_: what GUIs have you tried to use? [01:14] Blaqlight, does it execute successfully on logon ? [01:15] unop: no I have to manually set it every login. [01:15] Flannel i want to search for a terminal app to edit partitions like pico [01:15] wondering how to search [01:15] Blaqlight, there might be some error in your syntax then? what's the exact command you used? [01:15] errr [01:15] KenBW2: just gnome. I don't really want to install KDE into my ram. [01:15] pico is just a text editor [01:15] ok, this is annoying. I'm on a 32-bit box, but Linux is only detecing 2.8gb ram, regardless of having 3g or 4g in the box. The BIOS detects the full 4g!

I want to change the speed it flashes [01:16] i have a 400 in this machine and when i had windows on it i overclocked it more than a 7600 [01:16] what command can i use to check which dns server i'm using [01:16] Blaqlight, that sounds good - but whether or not it executes properly depends on where in the startup file you placed it? which is why i asked to see the startup file. [01:17] tanner, dig or nslookup [01:17] KenBW2: I'm trying to use System->Preferences->Resolution to change my screen resolution. [01:17] amenado like runnig the file flash usb in the gedit that sudo was using ... strange ... :x [01:17] unop: i need to know which dns server im using, i dont need to perform a lookup [01:17] unop: ok. give me a few minutes.

[01:18] ubuntu_: oh yea its hidden by default [01:19] tanner, or if you simply issue dig. you'll see it lists which server it is using [01:19] KenBW2: thought so, i'm adding it [01:19] any one heard of alinux [01:19] bluelight, you mean sc? [01:19] KenBW2: It won't stay selected. >.< [01:19] where can I get the livecd ?

[01:21] anyway - even with a 512mb vid. card, and even if it IS 4gb total, 4gb ram - 512mb vid. ram still = 3.5gb ram, not 2.8gb [01:21] Blaqlight, yea, as i suspected -- fbsetbg is called before fluxbox is invoked .. let me show you an excerpt of mine [01:21] ubuntu_: what happens when you try? [01:21] yeah but there's virtual memory in that equation [01:21] like swap [01:22] KenBW2: Its not an option to change the resolution too. [01:22] uh, WTF? since when did swap count? [01:22] its got 6g swap, and thats all detected [01:22] well in windows the pagefile couts :P [01:22] counts* [01:22] hmmm [01:22] unop: ok but thats how the file came in fluxbox. I didn't change any of the positions of any of the commands. [01:22] Off topic: I have 14-16 GB of swap [01:22] Linux != Winows ;P [01:22] I know [01:22] linux > windows [01:23] flaming dog poo > windows [01:23] linux >>>> windows [01:23] ubuntu_: tried changing the Monitor field?

[01:30] Yeah [01:30] :D [01:30] bluelight, i am not sure how sc's format is interoperable with excel -- but i suppose you can export to CSV which excel understands [01:30] unop, if anything, csv is ok [01:31] bye :| [01:31] my grub menu got messed up with my following a bad tutorial for a special kernel i need, now my menu.lst doesnt have my kernels listed. i chrooted into the drive and ive attempted "update-grub" it finds the kernels but does not create a proper entry for them. should i reinstall grub [01:31] so its possible to upgrade from 5.10 to 8.04 with the cd? [01:32] hi i am trying to use xen-tools to install a debian lenny guest on my system. but the debootstrap step files E: Failed getting release file ... but the file is on the mirror i selected [01:32] billy: no. [01:32] billy yes, but you need an alternative cd [01:32] unop: now nothing loads at all except fluxbox. [01:32] it's been bugging me since I first used Ubuntu years ago: What does mouse sensitivity do? [01:32] then add that cd to the repositroy [01:32] billy, errm I'm not sure that would be safe -- you need to upgrade to 6.06 first [01:32] i have 8.04 cd [01:33] KenBW2: Hmm, it set it to 1024x768, but since that looks fine, I won't tempt fate anymore. [01:33] unop: no wallpaper, no nm-applet, nothing. [01:33] Blacklight, you mean you see all the other applications on the desktop? [01:33] after my song on youtubes over im installing winblows xp that wubi [01:33] no the desktop is blank [01:33] unop: no conky either. [01:33] Blacklight, is the desktop completely empty? [01:34] unop: yes it is [01:34] unop: minus the toolbar [01:34] how about overclocking my video card on linux? [01:34] ubuntu_: you mean it's fixed? [01:34] unop: all of fluxbox is there. [01:34] I followed the instructions to get a gtk theme when I'm running an application as "root". now, is there a way to set a different gtk theme for root? [01:35] unop: wouldn't you want fluxbox to layer on top of the apps instead of the other way around? [01:35] Good Evening All, if someone has a moment, I could use some assistance installing Neverwinter Nights onto an 8.04 release. I have already downloaded the necessary files (client, resources, and update) but am having problems. I don't want to spam the channel with error code so I thought I'd ask for a helpful party === kernel_ is now known as tj83 [01:36] Blacklight, hmm, this is the format i followed - see the second section on starting apps after fluxbox has loaded. http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_startup_file [01:36] hello [01:36] Blacklight, fluxbox takes the desktop layer always [01:36] with vmplayer can i run a virtual machine ? [01:37] hello === deny is now known as deni [01:37] hi [01:37] Why might a command I place in a startup script not run on startup, but it does when i run it from a terminal? [01:37] could anyone help me with cedega? === rand_ is now known as rand [01:38] When I use Skype, it always lock the sound and I have to reboot after using it, what's the command to reset the sound without restarting ? [01:38] does anybody know what program this is or what the command is to get to it? http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/wp-content/uploads/ubunturaid006.png [01:38] synapse4956, what does the command do? or better, what is the command? [01:38] cygoku: try 'sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart' [01:38] unop: so start fbsetbg after exec fluxbox but leave the other stuff before it? [01:39] synapse5956, it ddn't work, I am still getting the same noise. [01:39] @w33d5 That looks like the partitioning tool off of the alternate install disk [01:39] unop: it is the deluged daemon. I run it after I run "deluge --ui web -l /var/www/deluge.log" [01:39] Blacklight, not just that you need to place commands in a block and have a wait command { command1; command2; } & [01:39] If noone is able to assist at this time, can someone point me to a resource referencing the following for a nwn install? I receive this when attempting to run ./nwn from terminal - nwmain: ../../src/xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed. [01:39] Aborted [01:40] hi [01:40] magikid do you know if there is a way to fire it up from the terminal? [01:40] trying to run call of duty with cedega, but when I run it, a message appears saying my video card may not have all of the features required to run the game, but It's able to run all of the ubuntu's desktop effects. couls anyone help me?? [01:40] what does sdd1= in grub? [01:40] @w33d5 I'm not sure, I'm looking to see what I can find [01:40] cygoku: hmm, that was my only idea [01:41] synapse4956, so what was the exact command you placed in the startup file? i'm assuming this is the gnome startup file? i wonder why you aren't using the session properties dialog to place this command in? [01:42] @w33d5 I can't seem to find that one specifically, why does it need to be that? Would gParted work? [01:42] dont have gnome i [01:42] am working on a server install [01:43] Hi guys. I have an XPS M1330 with an Nvidia Geforce 8400M... I recently update my BIOS to A12, and when I run glxgears my core temp goes from 53C to 70C in just 40 seconds according to nvidia-settings.... is that normal? [01:43] Hello [01:43] Currently running 82C core temp no fans. [01:43] diegom_, ubuntu's desktop effects might not require all the capabilities the game does [01:43] Well, I guess there are fans, they are just slow. [01:44] unop: thank you for answering.I don't know what to do [01:44] for gnome how do i access samba shares? [01:44] @w33d5 well, in that case, there's always parted [01:44] it's a command-line version of parted [01:44] I even tried downloading the drivers from intel ( my video card's brand) but it doesn't even install [01:45] i really want to find the partition manager that pops up during install === WalloO is now known as WalloO_Viasselle [01:45] unop: the exact line is "deluged", deluged is just the daemon for the deluge bittorrent client. It is placed in a file called /etc/init.d/startup that also contains some other commands that fix my wireless card, etc. on startup. After startup, ps aux | grep deluge does not show that the daemon is running. If I run sudo /etc/init.d/startup from a terminal and then list services, it shows that deluged is running fine and e [01:46] @w33d5 Ok, well, I can't help any further [01:46] thanks magikid [01:46] Guys i got the following problem: YEsterday i installed ubuntu 8.04 on my computer, and i wanted to keep my windows xp... as i HAVE 2 HARD DISCS i deleted everything on my secondary disk and booted from the ubuntu cd and started installing... i was asked where to install it and i chose to format and install it on the free disk... once i had it installed, ubuntu didnt recognise two hard discs [01:46] @w33d5 Sorry I couldn't help more [01:46] LibertyShadow, i would say it is normal as the GPU has to work harder to process information when you run glxgears. though you might want to consult the manual for that particular card to see what temperature range it safely operates in [01:46] I want to be a hacker [01:47] me too [01:47] Are there some helps :D [01:47] @krazy-h Weren't you looking for that a little while ago? [01:47] Learn the command line [01:47] installing freebsd is a good start :D [01:47] there is probably some helps somewhere [01:47] ? [01:47] but helps are hard to find\ [01:47] synapse4956, making a startup script and placing it in /etc/init.d does not automatically make it run when you enter a runlevel .. you need to enable that script for the runlevel you usually work in (by default is it 2) .. have you enabled the script in runlevel 2? [01:47] if you wanna be a hacker get back trax and some know-how [01:47] it recognised only 1 hard disc of 80GB and i have 2 of 40GB.. so i decided to reinstall windows over all to separate my hard discs again but once i had windows installed it says theres only 1 hard disc of 80GB.... what can i do to separated them? [01:48] unop: yep, ive done that. it runs on startup, every other line executes, jsut not this one [01:48] Thanks unop. I'll look into it. [01:48] any idea? [01:48] unop, ( I'll RTFM :D ) [01:48] hey peeps [01:49] synapse4956, can i have a look at that script on a pastebin? [01:49] ok, maybe I simply installed it incorrectly. Does anyone know a correct means of installing NeverWinter Nights Platinum onto an 8.04 release? [01:50] unop: http://pastebin.com/m24eaa96e [01:52] unop: I will admit it's kind of rigged up, but the networking stuff works :-D [01:52] i was using rdesktop to connect to a windows ts. i just did installed my updates on ubuntu(200 and some) and now i just get error "ERROR: recv: Connection reset by peer" having this problem with both of my ubuntu units but works from windows [01:52] Is there anyone here who've created and successfully installed an usplash? [01:53] Santi, you sure you didn't have the 80gb setup with 2 partitions?? [01:53] synapse4956, i don't use deluge - but do you know if it is safe to run deluge as root like you are trying to do? some apps will simply not run as root? [01:53] @K350 I have no idea how to use it but that sounds awesome [01:54] unop: i just got rid of Network Manager, i couldnt take it any longer. command line has taken it over for now, till i find a better gui for networking [01:54] synapse4956, also, there might be a switch to deluge to have it run in the background. deluge -d perhaps? [01:54] magikid: I've been reading a dozen tutorials about it but so far I've failed..it really sucks === WalloO_Viasselle is now known as WalloO [01:54] ManualOverDozer8, is this in relation to a firefox offline issue? [01:54] do you guys think mysql replication with ssl over public and firewall to only allow connections from the slave on port 3306, or just create a perm ssh tunnel with cron or something to tunnel it through would be better? [01:54] meej: ? are you there ? [01:55] unop: I have started it with sudo at it will run. [01:55] how can I use java applets in apache?, should I download tomcat?, I've heard about java web start, and other apps === WalloO is now known as WalloO_ [01:55] unop: no, any time i did command line modificatiosn to my net settings Network Manager fought with them, and i never liked NM in the first place === WalloO_ is now known as WalloO [01:56] @K350 I'm assuming you've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto [01:56] unop: I give up Ive put that command everywhere within the file that I could and tried restarted fluxbox, none work at all. [01:56] i do however notice a new problem, slight but problem just the same. every now and then my video stutters, like when typing it buffers up or something. [01:57] nvidia running glx-new [01:57] unop: the closest Ive gotten is it shows for a few seconds then is overwritten by the theme wall[a[er. [01:57] unop: deluge doesnt list such an option [01:58] i see the bots invaded the channel [01:58] magikid: ah, yes I've read that one, too... [01:58] @ManualOverDozer8 What do you mean, the bots have invaded? [01:58] magikid: the problem seems to be teh compilation part.... [01:59] anyone know what could be causing the login screen to display really huge (Ie: can't see most of screen) but the desktop to work fine? This is from a liveCD using Hardy [01:59] synapse4956, what you could do is log commands - like this. http://pastebin.com/d288b8e86 [01:59] magikid: they keep spamming me with "non-straight" comments. i mean offensive, but i just ignore them, so not much else i can do other than nasty things, in which i dont do, nor condone [01:59] Blaqlight, ahh, so it's an issue of your theme overwriting the wallpaper, not fbsetbg failing? do i understand this right? [02:00] unop: yes. [02:00] unop: alright, i'll test it out [02:00] Blaqlight, you should have mentioned this before :) let's see what we can do [02:01] unop: I think I already have the solution, put that directly into the theme file itself? [02:01] hi everybody [02:01] Blaqlight, you could do that, or use the overlay file. http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_style_overlay [02:01] anyone know what could be causing the login screen to display really huge (Ie: can't see most of screen) but the desktop to work fine? This is from a liveCD using Hardy [02:01] Blaqlight, so this doesn't happen again when you change your theme [02:01] Hi all. I'm using the NetworkManager 0.7 from the network-manger PPA and getting a misconfigured resolv.conf. Specifically, it's not respecting multiple search domains provided by our nameserver. I noticed another package "resolvconf" in the same ppa. Should I have it installed? Does it change how network manager generates my resolv.conf? [02:02] i was using rdesktop to connect to a windows ts. i just did installed my updates on ubuntu(200 and some) and now i just get error "ERROR: recv: Connection reset by peer" having this problem with both of my ubuntu units but works from windows any ideas? [02:02] I installed grub on a dual boot and now I am getting a missing ntdlr error when I try to boot XP, Please Help [02:02] Blaqlight, also see tip #1 here. http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_set_the_background [02:02] ubuntu_ happens when xorg is messed up. there is a fix. i am sure someone in here knows it [02:02] unop: I have already customized the theme itself, so I may as well just add the command there. [02:02] Hey, I'm trying to download 64-bit 8.04 release, but the link for "AMD and Intel 64bit" gives me a link saying "Computer Platform: amd64" [02:02] I have Intel [02:02] ubuntu_, had that problem when i was trying to set up dual monitors..just reconfiguring my xorg file fixed that. [02:03] debian_akroyd: what did you change? [02:03] Blaqlight, it's upto you. I would use the overlay file as i wouldn't want another theme changing things around. [02:03] jjgalves: when ntdlr is corrupted, i dont believe i have ever seen a fix for that other than a new install [02:03] ubuntu_, i just reset xorg to its default settings..but when i was trying to set up dual monitors, i used a whole bunch of different programs which caused [02:03] that [02:04] hello all. anyone here can send me a file ccd569.fw? thanks in advance. [02:04] debian_akroyd: damn, because I need xorg off its defaults, because otherwise it limits my monitor resolution to 800x600, not exactly ideal [02:04] Hello, I want to be able to stream my music from my server to a client(laptop) on the same network. How can I do so? Are there any good mpd tutorials to use? [02:05] ubuntu_: you can modify the conf file to display the rest of the resolutions [02:05] j-_ try vlc [02:05] ManualOverDozer8: how can I do that? [02:05] I created a new user on a fairly fresh install. If I install, lets say, mysql via apt-get will it startup on all users accounts or just the current one that I am logged in as when I install it?? [02:06] ubuntu_ : let me check real quick and i can get you a link. you need to know what modes your monitor can support though [02:06] What package do I need to install for Mono/ [02:06] ?* [02:06] Well, this is the most progess I've had all night: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113259 - script is inflating from disk right now so fingers crossed [02:06] Devourer, i believe mono is the package..let me check right quick [02:07] could someone help me with a problem in cedega?? [02:07] Devourer, just run synaptic and search for mono [02:07] what's the kde4 help chan? === kyncani is now known as Guest36393 [02:08] Is there a way to get nautilus to send keepalives? It keeps disconnecting from an sftp every few mins. so annoying [02:08] steven_: #kde [02:08] debian_akroyd, yeah, I was missing gmcs. :D [02:09] unop: The log only contains what was echoed out by the startup script, no errors. === dannyobrien is now known as malaclyps [02:10] synapse4956, hmm, maybe have a look through /var/log/{messages,dmesg} to see if deluge exited abnormally. [02:10] alright [02:11] If I install, lets say, mysql via apt-get will it startup on all users accounts or just the current one that I am logged in as when I install it??

[02:19] !java [02:19] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [02:19] !multiverse [02:19] there's something bad about my screen. it is very choppy. how can I correct this? [02:19] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [02:20] hello i've installed xubuntu 8.04 hardy and i need to find the power manager. the daemon initiates when i log in but, i can't have access to it to modify the power off time of the screen and i don't know how to call it from the terminal. [02:20] kozlojak: This is a license issue with the server [02:20] I set /etc/apt/sources.list to include all the commented repos but I can't get any repos. my ubuntu version is 6.10 from the ubuntu bible [02:20] Blaqlight, that's odd. the settings in the overlay override the theme's settings. are you sure you got the syntax in the overlay file right? and is the overlay file actually enabled as per ~/.fluxbox/init ? [02:21] kozlojak: Simply set that the source machine is local by putting the name of the server as you pc name (Possible to do that in Terminal Service) [02:23] unop: Ive tried everything, I can't get it too work. [02:23] i am thinking of switching to ubuntu -- but i have a lot of windows applications -- can i expect to use virtualBox and use my windows applications on a fairly new pc (2gb ram, pent d 3GHz) [02:23] Im about to just add the command to the stylefile and be done with it. [02:24] DrRealHouse: That worked thank you so much!! [02:24] sure [02:24] or you could find linux alternatives to them bonhoffer [02:24] kozlojak: my pleasure! [02:24] bonhoffer: yes [02:24] Does nautilus support plugins? Is there a keepalive plugin? [02:24] Blaqlight, ok [02:24] bonhoffer: just remember that anything that needs 3D acceleration won't work very fast, or at all sometimes [02:24] !equivalents | bonhoffer [02:24] bonhoffer: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant [02:25] i would like to find os alternatives, or at least run off wine [02:25] unop: Some of the documentation recommends starting the daemon with inittab: http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3185 [02:25] unop: it still does not fix the problem, but its better than typing fbsetbg -f /home/... [02:25] every login [02:25] unop, thanks! [02:25] How can I find out which device on my system is referred to by "sdb1"? [02:25] hello i've installed xubuntu 8.04 hardy and i need to find the power manager. the daemon initiates when i log in but, i can't have access to it to modify the power off time of the screen and i don't know how to call it from the terminal.

[02:26] xml33 system->preferences->power management [02:27] russ: thats not applcable for xfce [02:27] Blaqlight, you could have a deferred command set fbsetbg to run a few moments after you logon - say 10 seconds, which should be after the them has applied the wallpaper. [02:28] russ [02:28] synapse4956, heh. /usr/bin/deluged -d -p 58846 &> /var/log/deluged.log # sounds to me like this starts the daemon [02:28] russ not system--preferences [02:28] im running hardy and firefox 3.0.1. i'm experiencing a lot of lag with firefox, when i run 'top' it shows Xorg at 99% cpu or higher [02:28] is Xfce, not gnome [02:28] synapse4956, that was from the same page you are looking at there [02:28] Help, Grub doesn't find Puppy [02:28] any guidance on how to start troubleshooting that? [02:28] is there a Nintendo Emulator for Linux? === pgx__ is now known as moonix === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:29] gOETTLE: do a NES, SNES for linux search in google [02:29] Bruners: Ok.

[02:31] So ... this should be n easy one: How can I find out which device on my system is referred to by "sdb1"? [02:31] well, ran into a snag on my script, so finally formatting my ntfs volume to ext3. One question, once that's done can the space be combined (merge partitions) using qtparted? [02:31] Blaqlight, if you have a wait command waiting on the fluxbox PID. yes [02:31] fdisk -l maybe [02:31] and base it by size [02:32] Is there a free alternative to Nero for Linux? [02:32] k3b is pretty good [02:32] gOETTLE, brasero also [02:32] how do I update my ubuntu version to the latest version? [02:32] gOETTLE Brasero is pretty good [02:32] Ok. I will try them. [02:33] What features are you looking for? [02:33] gOETTLE Brasero should come with ubuntu 8.04 [02:33] depending on your DE [02:34] ZStar: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [02:34] Can't you just apt-get upgrade :P [02:34] or apt-get dist-upgrade [02:36] can anyone help me? my TCL/TK version is 8.3, even though i have 8.5 installed with synaptic. [02:36] thanks anachoret [02:36] Can anyone help, I'm having some mad problems with ubuntu grub working [02:36] yay im using irc like all the cool people now! [02:36] getting error 13, or error 17, and the chrooted partition says it can't read proc/partitions etc. [02:36] gkl7 xD [02:37] :) [02:37] is it the new uuid thing? [02:37] classv0id: Is it that your computer does not boot after the lastest update? [02:37] Can anyone help me? I'm trying to use amsn but it says i have TK 8.3.5 - but i have 8.5 installed in synaptic. [02:37] I just installed it actually and grub won't work right - it doesn't find any partitions [02:37] I think anyway [02:38] and I tried chrooting into the system and it won't load the drives in the device list or anything so maybe it was install problem with the partition map or something [02:38] I'm having troubles waking up my machine after it goes to sleep - getting I/O errors related to device "sdb1" - any ideas what's going on? [02:38] CShadowRun: Google on dpkg reconfigure tk... You will be able to select de default TK [02:38] russ: ACPI [02:39] DrRealHouse ty [02:39] russ: Power Management settings in CMOS [02:39] anybody have any idea why mine won't boot LoL? it doesn't boot anything - but if I chroot I can't get to any of the drives either so I assume that the problem lies in there somewhere [02:40] ManualOverDozer8, anything specific I should look for? [02:40] russ: ACPI [02:40] russ: does Ubuntu shut down automatically when you press power button once ? [02:41] is there a TrackID like program that new Sony Ericson mobile phones got? [02:41] no luck, still stuck with tk 8.3.5 and i need 8.5 for amsn [02:42] hi, i was just wondering whether the alternate-cd will let me encrypt my partitions during install? [02:42] Actually it goes to a password prompt screen, which seems to work intermittently. Most recently the system was unresponsive to the keyboard and I had to hold down the power key to do a reboot [02:42] CShadowRun: Did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure tk and also dpkg-reconfigure tcl? [02:42] lastnode: that would take substantially longer to install, and really dont see a need for such [02:43] DrRealHouse yes [02:43] CShadowRun: Also, is you AMsn from the repo of downloaded and compiled? [02:43] downloaded and compiled. [02:43] the repo is about a year old. [02:44] ManualOverDozer8: i see a need. i was just asking if it's possible? [02:44] ok how about does anybody know why when I chroot into the ubuntu distro drive it doesn't load the devices? how do I do that manually? - like my sda and sdb harddrives and stuff are missing but they are in fstab and mtab [02:44] Help, Grub doesn't find Puppy [02:44] does anyone know how to show what the mount point is for the raid array i created? [02:44] ManualOverDozer8: i can setup crypto, and then use LVM to create partitions inside the crypto space? [02:44] ManualOverDozer8, Actually it goes to a password prompt screen, which seems to work intermittently. Most recently the system was unresponsive to the keyboard and I had to hold down the power key to do a reboot [02:44] CShadowRun: Have you removed it and removed 8.5, reinstall tk 8.5 and then reinstall AMSN? [02:44] Is amsn even supported anymore? [02:44] Sydero yes? [02:45] hmmm [02:45] latest version is less than 24h ago [02:45] russ: what version Ubuntu you running ? i seen that in 7.x [02:45] DrRealHouse i tried doing tk, i'll try tcl too [02:45] ManualOverDozer8, Also, when it is "waking up" to get to that (intermittently working) password prompt, it reported a bunch of I/O errors on device sdb1 [02:45] russ: that was meant for you> what version ? [02:45] Is there a way to get nautilus to send keepalives? It keeps disconnecting from an sftp every few mins. so annoying [02:45] ManualOverDozer8, 8.04 [02:46] CShadowRun: Normally, TK and TCL are almost tied together... [02:46] DrRealHouse nope, removed them with --purge and then reinstalled, still says 8.3.5 :( [02:46] gandy [02:46] Hello [02:46] old gandy [02:46] russ: ACPI function allows for that, thats about all i can tell you. you can disable it if need be [02:46] DrRealHouse not only this, after purging tcl-8.5, i still have tclsh [02:46] so it appears i have another TCL installation somehow, although i really don't know how i ended up with it [02:47] CShadowRun: What version of Ububtu (Hardy?) [02:47] ManualOverDozer8, all acpi reports is the battery state, ac charger state, and temperature (the terminal command acpi that is) - haven't tried the cmos yet [02:47] DrRealHouse hardy x64 [02:47] russ: go to this [02:47] CShadowRun: You can have several version at the same time [02:47] DrRealHouse oh, how do i kill the old one? [02:47] ManualOverDozer8, sure would be nice to be able to edit the cmos without rebooting (sigh) [02:47] CShadowRun: Good, same à me, can you open Synatic? [02:48] can some1 help me i'm new at ubuntu and i want to install ubuntu 8.04 without taking out windows xp..... i've got 2 hard disks each of 40GB in my CPU... but this says i only have 1 of 80GB... can any1 help me with the steps that i should follow while installing so windows does not get deleted and i get 40Gb for windows and 40F [02:48] GB for linux [02:48] russ: System/Administration/Services and look for ACPID [02:48] DrRealHouse course i can? [02:48] Does anyone have a problem when they shutdown their computer, the screen just goes blank, but the cpu is still running? [02:48] russ: you can try and disable it there to see if it works for you, but your ACPI functions will also be disabled [02:48] CShadowRun: Go for it and look for package name : tk8. [02:48] CShadowRun: You will see what is currently installed. [02:49] CShadowRun: Remove the old ones and reinstalled 8.5 version [02:49] FIXED IT :D [02:49] i had the old tcl installed [02:49] and it bundled with the old tk lol [02:49] CShadowRun: Hurray! [02:49] thanks :D [02:49] CShadowRun: My pleasure! [02:49] i bet it's gonna be like "No you don't have TLS" now. [02:50] i just have a feeling - because it hates me. [02:50] yup, lol [02:51] ManualOverDozer8, well I'd rather get it to work; I can disable it by setting the suspend time to "never" - but was wondering if anybody knows what is going on, or how to identify device "sdb1" [02:51] CShadowRun: I have AMSN from the repos and everything is working alright. [02:52] Hi [02:52] DrRealHouse yea it works but it's missing features [02:52] DrRealHouse latest version has voice calls :D [02:52] CShadowRun: From the source code, not from the repos (to my knowledge). [02:53] Although i installed nvidia driver, X won't load it, and i have no direct rendering [02:53] DrRealHouse correct [02:53] CShadowRun : I tried it, but did not work with my friends. === PV2 is now known as PrivateVoid [02:53] DrRealHouse plus it has a patch i needed in it, that i requested [02:53] (Stop showing notifications for blocked users) lol [02:54] hi, im having a problem with my x1300xt radeon video card. i already instaled the retricted drivers but when i put this comand fglrxinfo it show me that vesa is workin instead of my radeon card. can someone help?

[03:09] Storm_Cloud: You should have WPA set up. [03:09] can you telnet on that port? [03:09] yeah, i know, but here is nobody else around with wireless lan... [03:09] haha, uh, the way you do it is you tell us your IP address and root password djp :-p [03:09] i am trying to get my ubuntu server to boot straight to the command line login instead of the gui, i heard i have to modify runtime levels or something? anyone know how I can do this? === CoolFox is now known as CoolFox_food [03:10] uh ya cause thats the smart thing to do [03:10] and i sometimes have to kill the password as the router "forgets" it *sigh* [03:10] how do i register a name? [03:10] kajong: on irc? [03:10] effowe, the run levels in ubuntu and debian are different from suse/redhat.

[03:10] Hey, i just installed Ubuntu Server 64 bit and when i try to boot it asks me for my user name and password...i enter it but then it starts telling me about using the sudo command in the terminal and about admin stuff...what do i type in the terminal to get me to the desktop?

I would suggest installing it to make your router more stable. [03:11] I'm using VNC to try to connect to a friend's Ubuntu machine so I can help him get his wireless working. I'm running "vncviewer -bgr233 -listen" on my end and he runs "x11vnc -connect my.domain.name" on his. We get a connection, but no X window pops up. Anyone have any ideas? [03:11] DD-WRT? what's that? [03:11] www.dd-wrt.com [03:12] custom router firmware [03:12] that has a ton of options [03:12] and is reliable [03:12] tyvner: yes your nearly doing it right, but not quite by the looks of it [03:12] and they just came out with 24 sp 1 ;) [03:12] tvyner: yes your nearly doing it right, but not quite by the looks of it [03:12] you can adjust anything ;) [03:12] like signal strength, etc. [03:13] SebNaitsabes: This same approach has worked for me on other boxes in the past. I'm not sure what's different about the Ubuntu box that prevents it from working. [03:13] tvyner: your in luck I have a link [03:13] armr, there is no gui in the default server install [03:13] The server side is getting "selection_send: no send: uninitialised clients" [03:13] tvyner: and on your end all you need to do is vncviewer -listen, and the link says what they do on there end [03:13] sometimes my nautilus quick find (typing into nautilus to find a filename) doesn't work, does anyone experience this problem? [03:13] SebNaitsabes: That'd be great. the -bgr233 is to force low color mode, btw [03:13] I've had this for several ubuntu installs [03:13] Oh, sob [03:13] just edit some xorg file [03:13] with different cds [03:13] :P [03:14] but how does it help me, if i don't know how to use my wireless without encryption on linux? [03:14] Well im downloading Ubuntu desktop 64 bit now so that will work for me right? [03:14] tvyner: yes it works in hardy, it says in red that it doses not work with gutsy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=299489 [03:14] armr, yes... you can install a gui from command line however [03:14] tvynr [03:15] Storm_Cloud, you haven't really told us your problem [03:15] you just say it won't work [03:15] Storm_Cloud: It doesn't help with the Linux bit but it helps you at least have a stable router. [03:15] * MTecknology Leaving [03:15] Sylphid how do i do that? [03:15] armr, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:16] does that require me downloading anything b4 hand or an internet connection? [03:16] i have a wireless network set up... without security... (well, MAC-Filtering is running and my machine is already in)... so how can i connect to it if I cannot select 'Use no encryption"? [03:16] can anyone help me get access to raw1394 so i can use kino and my dv cam? i'm reading one way in the forums and other places say its wrong [03:16] but you can [03:16] okay so -- i have a leopard partition and a windows vista ultimate partition on a first gen macbookpro.... do i still have to completely wipe out windows to install the most recebnt version of Ubuntu? [03:16] armr, yes, that requires an internet connection [03:16] tvynr: checked my link out? [03:16] you don't need security [03:16] to connect [03:16] any one got help for Apache2 [03:16] linux won't stop you from connecting to it [03:17] Storm_Cloud: Select it in the networking icon thingy and it should work. [03:17] well thats one of my other issues...my motherboard has a built in wireless card and it requires drivers and an app to work [03:17] oldman129, whats in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [03:17] are there any simple tutorial for setting up ubuntu as a webhost [03:17] yes [03:18] well never mind [03:18] !LAMP | jack3 [03:18] jack3: 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+) [03:18] Jack3-> look into using apache2 or tomcat5 [03:18] which one? i use the menu "network" under "System"... [03:18] Sylphid, is this somethihng a noob can setup? [03:18] if you want to setup a webhost, you have to learn how to setup a webhost [03:18] i just have a domain name and just want to setup a simple host [03:18] because you need to learn about security [03:19] Jack3, its not bad [03:19] Jack3-> simple host? use netcat :) [03:19] Jack3, just ask questions if you have problems [03:19] i mean i dont really care that much if this system got screwed cause its a website im going to use for like 3 people, with no confidential info and i dont use the ubuntu box [03:19] well, Sylphid thanks for the help but i will let the desktop edition finish, i am a windows user and for now the less complicated the better [03:20] i have to use a password type in this manager... well, it doesn't help me much as i don't have one... [03:20] As of last week, I can no longer access my evolution calendars that are type "On this computer". I think it may have started after updating to evolution 2.22.3.1, but I am not positive. [03:20] Has anyone else seen similar behavior? [03:20] SebNaitsabes: Tried the link. Same behavior. :( [03:20] tvynr: right can't really help you then [03:21] I repro'd it on another machine with a clean user. [03:21] Storm_Cloud, if you are using System-Network the password it is asking for is yours [03:21] SebNaitsabes: Thanks anyway [03:22] !ccsm > jthan_ [03:22] jthan_, please see my private message [03:22] it's for my wireless... but i don't have any set up... so it's kinda useless trying to connect via wpa2 or wpe... [03:22] wtf Storm [03:22] just click on the AP [03:22] no need to type anything [03:22] unless you really do have a password [03:22] does anybody have some good sources on how to building an Ubuntu server (using a dual processor server) and maintaining it? I want to basicaly have it for web serving and some FTP serving [03:22] Anyone got a clue how I could get my numpad on my keyboard to work? I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 kde 4.1 and I have the logitech mx5000 keyboard and there is no numlock key because it's only numbers, but ubuntu doesn't recognize thatr.

[03:24] !LAMP | Crema10 [03:24] Crema10: 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+) [03:25] djp_ are you sure you haven't screwed up your hosts.allow/deny files? [03:25] djp_, one way to accomplish what you are trying is to forward the port using iptables, but the other way is to just edit the ftp-server conf file to have the server monitor the changed port [03:25] <_punker_> i believe he is having probs with the client side === CoolFox_food is now known as CoolFox [03:26] ya its client side [03:26] djp_, does the FTP server exist within the same network / behind the linksys router? [03:27] Sylphid any help!! [03:27] no its on a totally different network [03:27] oldman129, paste whats in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default to a pastebin [03:27] djp_, different network in terms of IP addressing? === Smokey is now known as JaredTizzle [03:28] Syntax error on line 10 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default: [03:28] Multiple arguments not (yet) supported. [03:28] djp_, maybe you could give us the address to see if we can connect [03:28] djp_-> a nice network drawing is worth a thousand words, can you draw a quick layout, to include all devices and ip addresses? [03:28] well its not my network, im just trying to connect to a ftp site [03:28] djp_, all you should need from the client end is 'ftp in a terminal [03:28] to see if it's a problem with your configuration [03:28] oldman129, that doesn't tell me whats in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file [03:28] I'm currently running fedora 9 and i would like to switch over to Ubuntu 8.04, can i do this without reformating my hard drive? [03:28] its not the server, its on the ubuntu side because i can connect to it fine from within windows [03:29] want i will copy it [03:29] so Lamp is the way to go for a newbie like me? I would like to set up a simple server, one that is secure and fast, no Ubuntu bloat or anything like that [03:29] cxo-> nope, you have another spare partition? [03:29] ya th0r, dont work, cant even telnet to it [03:29] I meant to see if it's a problem with ubuntu [03:29] or your version only [03:29] hi guys [03:29] Crema10-> what do you really wanted to serve? [03:29] so you ftp address:port [03:29] what command will list all users on pc along with groups they are in? [03:29] and it says? [03:29] connection just times out [03:30] users? [03:30] maybe [03:30] amenado, i think /home is on a separate partition [03:30] amenado: just want serve a website, something personal.... and an FTP server [03:30] Hello, can anyone tell me why Mint wont talk to Vista and vice versa? [03:30] cxo-> if you have another spare partition, you can install another linux on it...another 4.5 gig is enuff [03:31] cat /etc/passwd [03:31] Sydero: This is the manager I mean... took a screen from it's interface so you know what i mean... [03:31] Crema10-> look into lighthttpd (spelling?) or tomcat5 [03:31] http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/7963/wirelessmanageris4.png [03:31] amenado, can i use my old home folder? [03:31] powertool08, for i in $(awk -F: '{print $1}' /etc/passwd); do id $i; done [03:31] cxo yes [03:31] my network is very simple, router > wireless connected laptop [03:31] amenado: oh ok... well i just bought a real server: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=B3870G20S4H&cpc=SCH [03:31] hey guys how do i load the GUI is it startx? [03:32] but i'll look into those, thanks [03:32] unop: thanks [03:32] hmm, arent there any programs that i can just run to setup a file host? i just want to host like 4 HTML files... thats it [03:32] oh.................... [03:32] hey guys how do i load the GUI is it startx? [03:32] storm [03:32] just enable roaming mode [03:32] Hi [03:32] yes, moralexploid [03:32] MoralExploit: yes, [03:32] thanks [03:32] :) [03:32] wow, sorry, but you get me [03:32] ok guys, instead of commiting sucuide, I have decided to purchase a new mini pci wlan for my noteboot, my current bcm4319 hates me. Any suggestions? [03:32] Storm_Cloud: Click Enable roaming mode [03:32] sorry, my internet kinda went off for a few secs :-/ [03:32] and then? [03:33] then click ok [03:33] or whatever [03:33] and try to connect [03:33] someone can explain me why , when I do a nslookup query with 2 differents dns server, I have to different IP? [03:33] this time it should be fine [03:33] Sydero: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:33] hey, my friend on msn has a problem-- he can't mount any of his data cd's under ubuntu; physically, they're fine and windows loads them without issue [03:33] LinuxIST, i just bought one yesterday... all my research drove me to an intel 2200 [03:33] Crema10-> http://lhttpd.sourceforge.net/ [03:33] has anyone had issues with ubuntu "forgetting" you installed an nvidia graphics driver? [03:33] how do I ensure that the mount params are good? === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [03:34] Sylphid is intel 2200 natively supported [03:34] ethana2-> make sure your friend is mounting it as root, only root can mount [03:34] LinuxIST, yes [03:34] amendo: but it's just a CD [03:34] pop it in, should just view the files [03:34] my desktop icons no longer show up because i accidentally unset the home_icon_name key. i recreated a key with the same name and put it as integer and a value of zero and the icons are still broken. anyone know what i should do? [03:34] ohhh [03:34] I'll try users and groups [03:34] ethana2-> oh okay, then it should just mount easily.. [03:34] Sylphid, does it support wpa 2 , do you have a link [03:35] LinuxIST, and there < $20 on ebay [03:35] we haven't tried that yet, hold on, I'll see what happens [03:35] LinuxIST, yes === SVI is now known as DBO [03:35] Sylphid, and it's a mini pci for note books right? [03:35] LinuxIST: just blacklist the native driver, find the win98 driver for the card, then use ndiswrapper [03:35] every time i reboot my system i end up having to reinstall the nvidia driver for my card...could the installer be making a bad module? [03:36] rokra, a domain can have multiple IP addresses associated with it. the DNS servers might not be in sync, one might have stale information. what matter is whether or not you can connect to services running on the host by the domain name. [03:36] well, am having issue with ndiswrapper now, so i want to avoid ndiswrapper [03:36] I want native drivers [03:36] LinuxIST, yes [03:36] or may you just have included it with the kernel scruffy [03:36] to start up everytime [03:36] -i [03:36] LinuxIST, http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/resources/doc_library/tech_brief/2200BG_ProdBrief.htm [03:36] linuxist: I was once where you are now. eventually, I gave up on native wireless drivers [03:36] djp_, what does sudo iptables -L give you? [03:37] amenado: users and groups says his user already has full access to that drive [03:37] i havent had to do anything to get it to do that in the past...it has only been with this latest install aof hardy...suggestions?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:37] The problem was on x11vnc's side [03:37] sorry ...sydero any ideas? [03:37] !who | unop [03:37] unop: please see above [03:38] hmmm [03:38] ethana2-> once the cd is inserted, look under Places to see if the cdrom shows as mounted, or look under /media/cdrom or maybe /media/dvdrom [03:38] I had to add -rfbversion 3.7 -noxdamage to the x11vnc command line [03:38] works now [03:38] not off hand sorry [03:38] !abusethebot > Sydero [03:38] sydero, please see my private message [03:38] tvynr-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=771174&postcount=61 [03:38] Sylphid, thanks, the reason i want to avoid ndiswrapper is beacuse it disable the wifi irq [03:38] !abuse > ubottu [03:38] ubottu, please see my private message [03:38] and renders it useless [03:38] Sydero, stop it [03:38] What would one need to do (if anything) to load changes made to /etc/hosts ? === freaky[t] is now known as c1|freaky [03:38] ok sydero not a problem....i am just finding it a bit weird... [03:39] :/ [03:39] amenado: Don't need to set it up as a service. Thanks tho. [03:39] tonyyarusso-> no need to do anything [03:39] just google nvidia drivers ubuntu [03:39] amenado: nifty [03:39] and maybe you'll find a guide scruffy [03:40] i have looked through the guide sydero.... i will look again, but i got both the guide and the driver from nvidia's site... [03:40] i may have missed something [03:40] any other suggestion on mini pci wlan for notebooks [03:40] ? [03:40] maybe you should get the driver from the repo instead [03:40] HELLO FELLOW OPEN SOURCE USERS [03:40] LinuxIST: I thought about buying a gigabyte, forgot the model tho [03:40] who said we use open source :P [03:41] *looks at the name of the channel* [03:41] LinuxIST, my secondary option was an MSI MP54G4 [03:41] I just want one that works, no broadcoms [03:41] I thought about that sydero...i just find this issue a little odd [03:41] yeah :/ [03:41] Sylphid, i will look at that too [03:41] Broadcom? We talking about wireless cards? [03:41] hey [03:41] LinuxIST: I have had very few issues with the Intel chips [03:41] nv [03:42] mysql is open source ???? and sun??? [03:42] thanks for your help sydero [03:42] ubunto installed within windows, does this mean a / exists on ntfs under some directory, or it makes a huge file and makes a root partition in there [03:42] atila1: mysql is and so is much of what sun makes [03:42] so much of what sun makes is not very GPL compatible tho [03:42] kardos: i think it makes a folder in C:\ [03:42] If I have a wireless card that doesn't show a full printout with iwconfig (i.e., no like containing "key: on" etc.), what does that mean? It won't associate with the AP. [03:43] I'd suspect that's it's one giant file Kardos [03:43] Kardos: if you installed ubuntu with wubi, it uses a huge file somwhere [03:43] to contain everything [03:43] *somewhere [03:43] rofl, both answers [03:43] atila1, yes with restrictions [03:43] :D [03:43] ok, large file it must be, because ntfs wont do symlinks yea? [03:43] So WUBI allows you to install Ubuntu within Windows, and run it like a VM? [03:43] postgre is better [03:43] Kardos, ntfs does symlinks just fine. [03:43] SaintStewart: I think so [03:43] SaintStewart, it actually boots linux. not inside a VM. [03:43] ok [03:43] oh it does? [03:43] SaintStewart, it does not run alongside windows. [03:43] Ah, ok. Thank you all for the PMs informing me. [03:43] LinuxIST, and Oracle is better than crapgres. [03:44] saintstewart: I've been hearing about how postgres is better than mysql since 1999 [03:44] using ubuntu 8.04 only one app can play sound at a time. [03:44] LinuxIST, http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_hostif.php?hostif=mini-PCI [03:44] SaintStewart, not a VM as such -- the windows bootloader allows ubuntu to boot up normally [03:44] SaintStewart, id perfer to run Ubuntu Inside a VM if you cant install it 'normaly' [03:44] myconid, i means as in free ( not as beer) [03:44] so it uses an extrasmart bootloader to read ntfs, mount the largefile, and boot linux kernel? [03:44] oh, windows bootloader [03:45] obidiah, better is a relative term. postgresql only fares better than mysql at certain tasks and the inverse is also true. [03:45] so who mounts the largefile? [03:45] Kardos, I do. [03:45] its a hard job.. but someones gotta do it [03:45] unop: I know, I run a web hosting company [03:45] Sylphid, thanks for that list. remember though am looking for mini, but it will help when looking for one for my desktop [03:45] obidiah, ok mr. parker [03:46] myconid: hehe didn't get the mr. parker ref? [03:46] LinuxIST, that list is mini [03:46] wtf do i have to install it to findout :/ [03:46] obidiah, youtube 'obidiah parker' [03:46] obidiah, hes awesome. [03:46] Sylphid, you r right [03:46] thanks again [03:46] Lets say you work at a company. Said company gives you a Dell Latitude D620. Said laptop took hit a porch last night when you fell biking in th erain an dthe HD died. [03:47] bbl [03:47] LinuxIST, http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ has a list for all kinds of wireless cards [03:47] then don't tell Dell that's what happened :P [03:47] DO you a: call dell and get it replaced (80gb).. or tell work it "Wasnt covered by warranty" and use your work CC to get a 250gb laptop hd? [03:47] unless you have accidental coverage [03:47] tell Dell the drive was defective [03:48] myconid: watching the video [03:48] Where do I change CPU throttling for laptops in hardy heron? [03:48] Sydero, thats not one of the options my friend. [03:48] the easiest way is with a widget [03:48] Templar_Xion: it's ondemand governor [03:48] Sydero: ? [03:48] Templar_Xion, what desktop environment are you running? [03:48] Gnome [03:49] obidiah, if you like radio head.. his cover is amazing. [03:49] there should be a processor widget/gadget [03:49] come on... even RutilT won't help... even though I use the right settings... [03:49] or something [03:49] Sylphid, Ok i think i have enough info to make wise decision. thanks a bunch [03:49] that let's you change the options [03:49] no one else can only play audio from one app at a time? [03:49] LinuxIST, no prob [03:49] is it just me or is the latest version of flash EXTREMELY UNSTABLE [03:49] myr: sounds like you're using alsa or oss [03:49] myconid, report the laptop stolen then hide it under one of you co workers desks [03:49] just you [03:49] like moreso than usual [03:49] m0u5e: that's why it's beta. [03:49] m0u5e, I think you are right [03:49] I appreciate the help Sydero but 'Some widget' isn't helping me find it. :) [03:49] ethana2: ah, so its not just me [03:49] myconid: idioteque [03:49] the current flash version is flash 9 [03:50] sorry but I don't use gnome [03:50] oobe, so your vote is for buy a new hd? [03:50] ethana2: why is a flash beta being released for hardy? :X [03:50] I installed ubuntu through wubu and it worked great.... however I kinda need the hibernate and suspend options so thinking about installing on a partition. Apprently the wubu approach also has slightly slower performance? anyway can you access all the other files on my windows installation if its on another partition like i can through wubu? [03:50] obidiah, I love his cover. [03:50] myconid, i guess [03:50] Sydero, :) I understand. [03:50] one question, my notebook came with bluetooth, is it possible it is integrated with the wlan? [03:50] m0u5e: I was tempted to use it too, because it works with Pule. not worth it. [03:50] but if you can add gadgets [03:50] it should be included [03:50] Adondai: yes [03:50] Adondai, You can access the other files. [03:50] myconid: I'm going to look for some mp3s... [03:50] ethana2: ... wait... so how do i revert to an older flash? [03:50] obidiah, there isnt much else out there ... i dont think [03:51] how do i tell my current flash version and which repos it was fetched form again? [03:51] thanks [03:51] m0u5e: sorry, I don't know [03:51] because i had an option to choose a regular card or one with bluetooth during purchase [03:51] I just followed a guide, and then lost it [03:51] apt.... apt-history? ... apt-... apt... gah i forget [03:51] something with purge [03:51] apt-getmecoffee [03:51] apt-cache search i think [03:51] or just use synaptic [03:51] and look it up [03:51] man apt! [03:51] uhm... what the... how come i cannot use my wireless lan even though i am connecting to it.. i can see my mac in the dhcp-client list... [03:51] installing things manually like flash 10 is ugly [03:52] ethana2, do you know how i fix my sound then? [03:52] Where do I change CPU throttling for laptops in hardy heron? (Gnome) [03:52] I try to avoid it at almost all costs [03:52] hello, i seem to be getting slow frame rates on fullscreen videos in flash in firefox running compiz fusion on a geforce 3, and full cpu usage on non-fullscreen flv video, so i was wondering whether with flash 9, is flash rendering done with opengl? or entirely in a software codepath? or does that depend on the swf? [03:52] and does having ubuntu in its own partition speed it up somewhat? [03:52] Jordan, Give me a call [03:52] ethana2, in sound preferences all are set to autodetect [03:52] Storm_Cloud: use the applet at the bottom of the screen [03:52] not network settings [03:52] So what distro would you recommend to a highly technical user who has little Linux knowledge? IE I dont want to mess with command line and it be all GUI as much as possible. This isnt for me (I use Kubuntu), but still have to do commendline stuff from time to time. [03:52] man apt-getmeacoffee > I don't know how to get coffee only milk deal with it. [03:52] myr: I'm not that great at that, sorry [03:52] ethana2, ok thx [03:52] SaintStewart: use Kubuntu [03:53] well, i changed to Xfce... so kinda hard for me to use it... :-/ [03:53] oh? [03:53] xfce has nm-applet [03:53] sudo apt-get install kde4 :P [03:53] you single click on it [03:53] SaintStewart, technical, but you want a start button? windows me. [03:53] go with slackware SaintStewart [03:53] nm-aplet... [03:53] :P [03:53] copy that... [03:53] Templar_Xion, I am thinking about going to KDE4, but I still havent heard much good from it.... [03:54] it's the little network icon at the bottom [03:54] solaris > slackware [03:54] Templar_Xion, there is a root terminal application called cpufreq-selector [03:54] SaintStewart, Kinda like Ford and Chevy... [03:54] !kde4 [03:54] 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 [03:54] so can you access the rest of the NTFS partition that the ubuntu-within-windows bigfile resides on? [03:54] saintstewart: sco openserver [03:54] Kardos, google://whateverosyouinstalled ntfs access [03:54] ROFL Obidiah. [03:54] hm, somehow the whole interface is blocked :-/ [03:54] run nm-applet [03:54] obidiah, doesnt support quad core cpus :( [03:54] blocked :S ? [03:55] its ubuntu, but living on a windows partition, i wonder if it can see the rest of that partition [03:55] Kardos, google://whateverosyouinstalled ntfs access [03:55] myconid ;-> [03:55] russ, I ran it but after attempting cpufreq-selector -f (or -g or -c) I get missing arguement. [03:55] anyone here in eastern kansas? columbus area? [03:55] Kardos, you can mount the windows partitions i belive. yes... [03:55] where do I go to file a bug report for hardy backports and petition that flash beta get removed from the backports? (its not even stable!) [03:55] is it just regular launchpad? [03:55] how do i change the window manager when i type startx from a command line, im trying to go from gnome(default) to fluxbox [03:55] awesome [03:55] or is there a special place for backports [03:56] sounds like the snake eating itself scenario, you're mounting something thats already mounted [03:56] or whatever, but no worries, thanks [03:56] !bug > m0u5e [03:56] m0u5e, please see my private message [03:56] ;) [03:56] Kardos, what, exactly, is a "snake eating itself scenario" [03:56] ah so backports it he same then :) [03:56] saintstewart: seriously, if you're running a server, centos (only because it's got more mindshare at the server level) and for a desktop/laptop, ubuntu [03:56] snake starts eating its tail, and continues eating, until it eats its head, and dissapears in a puff of impossibility [03:57] saintstewart: it's not worth using a smaller distribution because it could be orphaned [03:57] Kardos, oh no.. it dies about halfway through.. ive seen it [03:57] Kardos, cats do it too [03:57] but dont die [03:57] yaya [03:57] but the bigfile-ubuntu thing seems like the same situation in a twisted way [03:57] effowe, echo "exec startfluxbox">> ~/.xinitrc [03:57] its mounting something that contains itself [03:58] russ, Got it, Man ftw. [03:58] !flash [03:58] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:58] futurama, that crazy box that contains the universe might be a better example [03:58] errr I didn't believe ubuntu had xinitrc [03:58] !flash [03:58] To upload images to FaceBook I'm being asked to install one of the following, and am not sure which one would be the best choice. The choices are 1) GCJ Web Browser Plugin, 2) Java SE 6, 3) Java SE 5 ..... any thoughts? [03:58] yeah, and i had to start it with the terminal :-/ [03:58] and as soon as i close the terminal my manager goes down with it... [03:58] !flash [03:58] Kardos, i do a similer thing with live cds and puppylinux all the time. [03:58] unop: ok, i was reading around and they mentioned creating an .xinitrc in the home directory, and that command does just that i believe [03:58] should i reinstall nm-applet somehow? [03:58] could anyone tell me if a raid array has to be on the same channel ? i.e. master/slave on the same ide cable? [03:58] no [03:58] just run it Storm [03:59] from terminal [03:59] Sydero, it's not a file specific to a specific distro or OS .. it's the file Xorg/Xfree86/X uses [03:59] yeah, but as soon as i close my terminal it dies... isn't showing anymore in the tray... [03:59] yeah but Ubuntu has changed a few things around [03:59] hmmmm, it's a novel new idea to me, *shrug* i guess im out of date in terms of ubuntu [03:59] well maybe you can select an option of run everytime Storm [03:59] Storm_Cloud, use a & after it in the terminal [03:59] effowe, example .xinitrc (2 lines) --> xterm & exec windowmanageryouwant [03:59] <\-> my machine is a PIII 750 and RAM 128. [03:59] <\-> I can not install ubuntu 8.0.4.1. if someone can help me I thank [04:00] ok., im going to test this out, thanks for the help [04:00] hi, can someone help me get my sound to work? i know it should be working, as it worked before on same laptop, asus f8sv. lsmod doesnt show any sound modules, alsamixer says nothing found. is there a command i can use to load all sound modules, to see which one will work? thanks. [04:00] Sydero, X can use a variety of different files. the xinit manpage should document them all and their order of precendence [04:00] Odd question. Is there a desktop thats just desktop (no KDE bar or Gnome bar) until you right or left click the desktop and then it brings a menu up? I know there used to be one, but Ive forgotten it and dont know if its still around. [04:01] \-: that hardware should be recycled really, now if 250nm, soon if 180nm [04:01] \-: Use the alternate cd to install from. The livecd needs far more than 128Mb of ram to run [04:01] SaintStewart: try openbox [04:01] \-: what genii said [04:01] Openbox? OK. Looking. [04:01] okay, it's running... [04:01] Storm_Cloud, if you ran it with & after it, you should be able to close the terminal and have it still run [04:01] that's how I do my screensaver desktop backgrounds [04:02] SaintStewart, fluxbox too [04:02] reinstalling is probably the easiest option [04:02] hello can someone please recommend a good vnc server for ubuntu, (hopefully one that is easy to setup) just to use over LAN [04:02] Ok, Fluxbox too....looking there as well. [04:02] hey, thanks... [04:02] but fluxbox has a panel... [04:02] how do i lock a package so that update-manager doesn't bother me about updating it?

[04:03] SaintStewart, i believe it is still being maintained [04:03] i just set up a ftp server and i cant seem to get sshfs to work right, it keeps saying that the connection was reset by peer. i can remotely control it from the remote desktop viewer fine [04:04] yeah, the other one i'll deinstall in a few moments...

[04:54] meme03847: Its standalone [04:54] ok [04:55] what do u mean by "which user" Flannel? [04:55] Hi! If my wireless finds the networks and connects to them okay (100% connection, or around), yet I can't ping out (Even to the router!), what do you guys think would be the reason for that? When I do ifconfig it seems that the wireless router *has* given me an IP address (DCHP), yet I still can't ping it or connect out anywhere. Ideas?

Install Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc, and then you add Educational stuff to it. [04:56] I just installed Ubuntu on my new hosted virtual server. Unlike pretty much every other install of Ubuntu I've used this one has only one user, root. I'm used to having the root account disabled and using sudo to do everything.

[05:20] cellofellow, how do I do it? [05:20] by issuing build-dep at the command line??? [05:20] Evening everyone. [05:20] Sake: in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, in the Directory section for /var/www, set it to Order Deny, Allow; Deny from All, Allow from 192.168.0. [05:20] smile [05:20] Anyone care to give me a quick hand with a sound issue? [05:21] Sake: there's a few linebreaks you need to put in that but you get the general idea. [05:21] anybody??? [05:21] ejsilver26: lspci [05:21] cellofellow, what's the diff between sites-available and sites-enabled? [05:21] Sake: I do it for specific apps I host on Apache, not the whole site. [05:21] Sake: sites-enabled has links to files in sites-available, and it loads in alphabetical order I think. [05:21] montpelie: just apt-get the package, and all the depends will be brough tin [05:21] crimsun: You there? :) [05:22] Sake: so, sites-enabled all the files start with 001-name or 002-name, etc. [05:22] ejsilver26: briefly [05:22] cellofellow, so can I erase the file in sites-enabled and set up my working folder in sites-available? [05:23] /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-default links to sites-available/default. The httpd.conf file includes all the files in sites-enabled but not in sites-available. [05:23] crimsun: I tossed in the live CD of 8.04, and the sound is working. Wondering what I should note down to aid in resolving my sound issues. I've done lsmod and modinfo on the main dound driver.. anything else? [05:23] how can I edit a pdf file and write into it ? [05:23] !pdf [05:23] !pdf [05:23] lycannyc: Inkscape can edit PDFs one page at a time. And there is pdfedit [05:24] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [05:24] cellofellow, nothing comes default installed ? [05:24] lycannyc: and I hear OpenOffice 3 Beta can edit PDF. [05:24] Sake: sites-enabled (and mods-enabled) is for symlinks to the sites/modules you want to have active. sites/mods-available is for all of them (even if they aren't enabled). === jbrouhard is now known as atawolfpack [05:24] lycannyc: PDF is primarily read-only. [05:24] oh [05:24] ejsilver26: can you summarise? I have no idea of the context. [05:24] pdf not meant to be edited [05:24] yea this damn job sent me a pdf file and wanted me to fill in that application [05:24] print it and write? [05:24] crimsun, I'm on 2.6.24-20-generic, but now it doesn't detect my video card -- ideas? (I am running in "low-graphics mode" now)) [05:25] Sake: there are actually little scripts like a2enmod modulename to create the links for you. [05:25] crimsun, nvidia 6200 i think [05:25] robert-woes: make sure linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) is also present and fully configured [05:25] Aaah, so you can't use a site until there's a symbolic link to it in sites-enabled, right? [05:26] You were helping me with my sound issue yesterday. I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and lost sound. It was suggested to throw in my live CD to see if the sound worked with the kernel. It aparently does. I was wondering what information may help me and others helping me to determine what changed and what I could do to fix the sound issue. [05:26] Sake: Right. -available stuff isn't active. [05:26] cool, pretty smart [05:26] alright, so I got eclipse running and apache. Now what else can I do with my shiny new ubuntu? [05:26] crimsun, checking... [05:26] Sake: yeah, and there's a2ensite and a2dissite to enable and disable sites. [05:26] Sake: and like cellofellow mentioned, a2enmod a2dismod are for enabling/disabling modules [05:26] ejsilver26: what's the output from `asoundconf list' while running a terminal from the desktop cd? [05:27] Sake: um, replace Apache with Tomcat so it works with Eclipse for your Java apps? [05:27] crimsun: SI7012 [05:27] Or can Tomcat be added to Apache? [05:28] crimsun, how do i check ? [05:28] <[-Mabus-]> Anyone here have Kismet running on Ubuntu ? [05:28] !tomcat [05:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about tomcat [05:28] someone slap the bot, it ought to know what tomcat is. [05:28] so no ways to edit and write to a pdf file [05:29] lycannyc: yes, there is. Inkscape, pdfedit [05:29] lycannyc: OOo3 [05:29] lycannyc: You can also open a pdf in Gimp and type onto it. [05:29] lycannyc: I had to fill out some forms for my clearance, and that's how I did it. [05:29] Is there away to assign a logical name to a wireless interface? [05:30] ejsilver26, gimp ? [05:30] lycannyc: Yup... go figure. [05:30] cellofellow, who uses OOo3 ? [05:30] ok Flannel, but how about if I'm installing from a tarball??? [05:30] robert-woes: dpkg -l linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)|grep ^ii [05:30] not from the repositories [05:30] lycannyc: you can if you dare [05:30] ejsilver26: ok. In your actual Ubuntu install, do you receive the same output from that command? [05:30] can anyone help me get php running with mod_fastcgi under apache. I just can't seem to get it right [05:30] crimson, 2.6.24.14-20.46 [05:31] cellofellow, Ah, I'm ok with just php for now... [05:31] ejsilver26, lol i dont even know how to use gimp [05:31] crimsun: : believe I did. It has always identified it as Si7012 === genii_ is now known as genii [05:31] cellofellow, whats the easiest? [05:31] ejsilver26: can you ensure right now, please? [05:31] Sake: ok. Does Eclipse have good PHP support? The Python support is good but I'm not a PHP fellow. [05:31] lycannyc: Neither did I. You open the pdf and it will open it mainly as a Graphic. Click on the text tool and write it out. [05:31] Where can I go to request a package for inclusion into the repos? [05:31] cellofellow, I added Allow from 192.168.,127.0.0. to my enabled-site and now it says I don't have permission... [05:32] crimsun, i just did sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-restricted-modules-generic [05:32] crimsun, should i reboot? [05:32] cellofellow, Yea, PDT is pretty slick if you take the time to configure it properly. I'm a big Eclipse fan. I used to use it for PERL as well [05:32] lycannyc: depends on the task. Try them out and see for yourself. pdfedit is a bit complicated but is a GUI. [05:32] crimsun: I'll reboot. Is there any other commands that I should note the output of while I"m on the liveCD? I'm saving them to a network share on another pc. [05:32] cellofellow, i guess im screwed [05:32] but thanks i'll see what i can do [05:33] Sake: now, if Eclipse had a nice slick Django plugin, call me a happy camper. [05:33] in due time I'm sure. [05:34] I'm rocking cakephp for now.. surprisingly good [05:34] and super portable, it's nice [05:34] crimsun: What about that alsa sh script... ? [05:34] For Django I'm just using a mixture of Gedit and Gvim. [05:34] Hello guys. I'm using xubuntu8.04. I have a ATI card with double-head connected two LCD. The ati driver work well. When I type "DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm" in terminal, it work well; but "DISPLAY=:1.0 xterm" don't work, and the error message is "xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :1.0" [05:34] . I don't know what's wrong [05:34] Vim has lovely syntax support for Django templates. [05:34] but before I do that... How come my Allow from 192.168.,127.0.0. doesn't work? [05:34] Sake: not sure, let me see what I put in my conf files so I can compare. [05:34] Sake: Well, 1 too many numbers, and the comma doesn't help either. ;) [05:35] I don't understand how vim could work better than a point and click IDE like Eclipse... the class outlines alone are reason enough for me to stay [05:35] Hi, im a newbee here and with the ubuntu, i'm using the 8,04 and i have a ATI 4870, and i cant figure out how to install the driver, help, plese!! [05:35] ejsilver26, so how do I do that? Do I need to have 127.0.0.1 in there? [05:36] Sake: use separate lines. Allow from 192.168.0\nAllow from 127.0.0.1 [05:36] CiceroRip1: sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk [05:36] try that [05:36] !info envyng-gtk [05:36] envyng-gtk (source: envyng-gtk): install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 93 kB, installed size 324 kB [05:36] Sake: I was being a smart ass, but I would assume that you would need hte whole IP... [05:36] ok [05:36] ejsilver26: no, nothing further from the desktop cd [05:36] crimsun: Ok. Rebooting. [05:36] Sake: it's language syntax support I want and Gvim delivers. [05:36] BRB all [05:36] cellofellow, how do I allow everyone from 192.168.0.*, 192.168.1.* and 192.168.2.*? Can't I just put 192.168.* somehow? [05:37] hello all! [05:37] Sake: oh, yeah, just leave out the .0 [05:37] cellofellow, Interesting, I need to learn some power-tricks in vim.. [05:37] Sake: but why open it up to all possible subnets? [05:37] i [05:38] <[-Mabus-]> dir [05:38] <[-Mabus-]> ops [05:38] <[-Mabus-]> lol wrong window [05:38] any one know how to add a channel [05:38] * cellofellow is just happy with basic vim commands like :wq, :syntax enable, /searchterm, and ^u for deleting lines is nice. [05:38] cellofellow, simpler.. [05:38] Sake: simpler? Since when were subnets simple? [05:39] alright alright, I just created an entry for .0, .1 and .2 [05:39] anyways, as far as coding goes, I can't live without my ctrl->space, saves me so much time [05:39] Sake: Allow from 192.168 should just do the trick. [05:40] how can i find this channel #irc-hispano [05:40] Sake: in vim its [Esc]:w, simple and quick. [05:40] can any one help me [05:40] can anybody help me with my nvidia settings? [05:40] JUMPER: type /list in your irc client [05:40] !hispano [05:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about hispano [05:40] cellofellow, isn't that to save? [05:40] write [05:40] jumper type /list to see if it is on this server [05:40] Sake: vim calls "save" "write", as it ought to. [05:41] Back [05:41] Can anyone help me with this problem? I'm trying to run play movies and i get A/V desync.... any one know who to fix it..... I've just started with ubuntu [05:41] crimsun: What was that command again, I'll make sure it matches. :) [05:41] Atomhunter: enabling framedrop on a slow machine can help. [05:41] Atomhunter: have you got the movie codecs installed? [05:42] cellofellow, yea, ctrl->space is something else... autocomplete. If I have Object->{ctrl->space}, then I get a list of all methods of that object I can use, without having to dig through codes or function lists. [05:42] ubuntu it is easy to use >>> [05:42] I think i have the codecs, i don't have a slow machine..... It's build for gaming [05:42] !multimedia [05:42] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [05:42] Sake: oh, autocomplete. Well, that stuff is hard to get right and sometimes downright annoying. [05:42] Sake, in vim - you can setup tab to do that with omnicomplete [05:42] i have hardy so i should have the codecs [05:42] unop: really? I need to get more into Vim. [05:42] AVI's will not just play in hardy by default [05:43] what file format are you trying to play? [05:43] a blockbuster DVD... so AVI i think [05:43] hey, is there a makedbm tool for ubuntu server? [05:43] Most AVIs have Windows Media or MPEG video so they don't play without extra codecs. [05:43] !dvd [05:43] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [05:43] propritary DVD's wil not just play in Ubuntu [05:43] cellofellow, i believe there is a supertab.vim vim script around. set it's up right for tab. [05:43] encrypted DVD's will not just play in Ubuntu yes [05:43] Atomhunter: you need ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdcss2 to play dvds. [05:43] unop, Interesting... like I said, I need to look into vim a bit more. [05:44] how do i get them?..... i'm a noob... [05:44] hi all, quick question: did anyone here request a free copy of ubuntu from the official website, if so...did it come quick? [05:44] ajj: I did but it took a month [05:44] Atomhunter: install ubuntu-restricted-extras with Synaptic, and go to medibuntu.org to install libdvdcss2 and w32codecs while you're at it. [05:44] No. it will take 4 weeks. [05:44] hey, is there a makedbm tool for ubuntu server? [05:45] Atomhunter: follow the links or open a terminal and sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [05:45] is there a tortoiseSvn equivalent in linux? [05:45] !info [05:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about info [05:45] a buddy of mine got it in 6 days [05:45] Atomhunter: go to this link http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-play-dvd-under-ubuntu-linux [05:45] !info libdvdcss2 [05:45] Package libdvdcss2 does not exist in hardy [05:45] How to check (Ubuntu) version in console? [05:45] Sake, cellofellow - http://tinyurl.com/552bmd # supertab also you might like the custom search engine that searches all sites vim-related [05:45] SebNaitsabes: libdvdcss2 isn't in the official repos.

I was thinking of using vmware and installing xp so that she can run her game, can anyone think of any better program, or way to go about this? [05:46] SebNaitsabes: hasn't ever been, since it's about the most hot-ticket non-free codec around. DVD Jon went to court and everything for it. [05:46] have you looked in appdb.winehq.org [05:47] ejsilver26: asoundconf list [05:47] SebNaitsabes: it looks like it doesn't work through wine, at least from the forums... [05:47] cellofellow: hot ticket? [05:47] SebNaitsabes: good place to check if a program will work in Wine or not. [05:47] FAJALOU, cedega might be able to do it - though it costs... [05:47] how do i access my usb hd via Virtualbox? [05:47] SebNaitsabes: illegal in the US, 100% illegal breaks DMCA and patents. [05:47] cellofellow: I just told him to check there [05:47] unop, thanks [05:47] help! i can't run desktop acceleration (hardy 8.04.1) [05:47] unop: i hear that cedega can't do it either. [05:47] what's a good vendor of ubuntu (besides amazon.com) that is quick [05:47] !explain | vj23x [05:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about explain [05:47] crimsun: Exactly the same. [05:47] vj23x: video card make and model is useful information. [05:48] FAJALOU: appdb.winehq.org also you should try #winehq since this is not really an Ubuntu issue [05:48] ajj: why use a vendor when you can just download it? [05:48] sjovan, i'm on dialup [05:48] whenever i enable nvidia driver, i got a black screen on restart! [05:48] SebNaitsabes: wine ways it doesn't work, but it installs, correctly,,, what should i use to install xp inside ubuntu? [05:48] ajj: then ask a friend or something to download it :) [05:48] cellofellow: well I don't live in the US :) [05:48] ejsilver26: good. Is audio still inaudible? [05:48] what are friends? [05:48] FAJALOU: I use VirtualBox. [05:48] cellofellow: I haven't used it myself yet though [05:49] FAJALOU: with some wine tweaking you may be able to get it working [05:49] cellofellow: and is it in the repos? also is it hard to configure... [05:49] People with lawyers tend to use LinDVD or Fluendo DVD instead. [05:49] FAJALOU: you need to install a virtual machine [05:49] someone should mail me a copy :) [05:49] crimsun: Yuppers. [05:49] SebNaitsabes: the wine site shows it as not running. [05:49] ejsilver26: does `sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset' help? [05:49] speedbaron: how so? never needed a vm before. [05:49] I just loaded ubuntu yesterday and am trying to get online with my Sprintcard (which is plugged into a pcmcia adapter plugged into a pci slot on my desktop. [05:49] FAJALOU: wine is an emulation [05:49] FAJALOU: The 100% Open Source Edition is in the repos. Extra features come with the closed source edition but it's still free and easy to install and dead easy to set up. [05:49] emulator [05:50] Wine is not an emulator [05:50] ok now how do I take a snippit of a wave file and delete the rest? what is a good program for that? [05:50] ajj there is a request a cd form on the ubuntu web site [05:50] anybody know why after installing nividia's drivers i now do not have opengl?? [05:50] ajj: send me your computer and i'll install it for you [05:50] cellofellow: what is the package name? [05:50] WINE is a Windows API implementation for UNIX-like systems on Intel-compatible processors. Makes Linux binary-compatible with Windows. [05:50] crimsun: Actually.. yes. [05:50] FAJALOU: y? because wine is an emulator... so u can just install the actual programs [05:50] Help: Driver for ATI 4870 on Ubuntu 8,04 x64, anyone? [05:50] speedbaron, do you know what the acronym WINE stands for ? :) [05:50] FAJALOU: virtualbox or virtualbox-ose I think. [05:51] guys i wanna convert wmvs/avi/xvid to windows media player 7/8/9 or zune format video what are my options [05:51] speedbaron: i tried installing the sims, and it installs, but does not run [05:51] WINE: WINdows Emulator [05:51] ejsilver26: so, is the problem resolved now? [05:51] cellofellow, that statement's a bit off -- makes linux binary compatible with windows?? eh [05:51] crimsun: I have sound. Is there something I have to do to make it perminant, or is it done? [05:51] EnMasse187: I like WinFF, a GUI for FFMPEG. winff.com. [05:51] wine is not an emulator? [05:51] davisw: WINE: Wine Is Not An Emulator [05:51] ejsilver26: it's done. [05:51] unop: with some windows apps [05:51] crimsun: After 2 weeks, yes, it is! :) [05:51] but it is an emulator... [05:51] !wine [05:51] FAJALOU: what is the error u r getting? [05:51] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [05:51] ejsilver26: excellent. Off I go. [05:52] Andross, no, it's an implementation of the win32 api, it's not an emulator [05:52] cellofellow: ill check it out thanks [05:52] unop: it doesn't make it source compatible, IE requireing a recompile without modification but it does make it so some Windows binaries see Linux as Windows. [05:52] for all that are confused about what whine is theres the final answer :) [05:52] crimsun: Thanks a bunch. You made my night. [05:52] errr wine i mean. [05:53] speedbaron: it just quits out, i have tried the command in terminal, but no errors happen [05:53] wanting to do some ubuntu videos, xvidcap doesn't want to capture cube and drops tons of frames, the hardware should be alright, did this all the time on windoze, any ideas, other prog alternatives?

[05:54] FAJALOU: the sims... what r the settings under WINE? [05:54] !nvidia [05:54] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:54] speedbaron: there are a lot of settings under wine, i have it set as XP emulation [05:54] FAJALOU: i have ran into some directx problems [05:54] speedbaron: it says that it will not work on winehq [05:55] speedbaron: sorry the error i get is Could not find the Sims data directory. [05:55] FAJALOU: then you need to install virtualbox.. so as to install windows xp [05:56] if you install wine, how can you remove the virtual c:\ drive so ubuntu is back to what is was before ? [05:56] speedbaron: so there is no way around it? it says something aobut not finding the data directory, can you direct it there? [05:56] ManualOverDozer8: so you have a clean Wine install again? [05:56] so there is no virtual c:\ drive an all HDD space is accounted for [05:56] ManualOverDozer8, delete the ~/.wine/drive_c/ directory (you might want to move it rather than delete it) [05:57] you want to keep the WIne program itself, but get rid of everything else to do with it? [05:57] if need be yes [05:57] just delete .wine [05:57] open your home folder [05:57] i just want to try it, if i dont like it i want to be able to remove it [05:57] view show hidden files [05:57] and delete .wine [05:57] FAJALOU: none :-) because the game is probably using a registry entry [05:57] oh yes, easy enough, thank you [05:57] or move the .wine some where else. and you do wine again and your using a new one === adam is now known as Guest92844 [05:58] ok now how do I take a snippit of a wave file and delete the rest? what is a good program for that?

Im in kernel 2.6.24-20 [06:28] hi [06:29] EnMasse187, * Sudders * hummm I think if you look up ffmpeg you should be able to convert them.. but you will have to go to the MAN for help Remember RIF... === Guest92844 is now known as number_43 [06:29] backsideb that page is not loading. I guess you'll have to give a short description of the problem here [06:29] anindya: hi [06:29] OldToker: hey someone suggest winff [06:30] OldToker: im trying it right now but it doesnt even tell you when it will be done with the video [06:30] sourcefreak, hmmm.. ahh well, ok :) I haven't had any bad expeiriences with virtualbox.. except that you have to add yourself to the vboxusers group.. in ubuntu. [06:30] * nickrud just spent a few hours with ffmpeg, and is lucky to be alive === sheep is now known as Starnestommy [06:30] My card is a pcmica card plugged into a pcmcia card adapter plugged into a pci slot on my desktop. help I see online I think is geared toward this card plugged into a laptop. here is a url where I was trying these commands with a result of file not found. when I replace "usb" with "pci" I still get the same error. [06:30] OldToker: whats bad about ffmpeg? [06:31] http://www.inspirecom.com/content/view/24/12/ [06:31] nickrud, hehehehe I didn't say it was the best.. but I think it at least works.. [06:31] OldToker: I´ll try vbox again, but I fail generally to install anything. that is my big problem. I´m not a friend of terminals :> [06:31] hi, i am already on ubuntu 8.04 . how do i install the whole kde4 desktop pckage so that, i can choose between kde and gnome when logging in? [06:31] sourcefreak, that's the beauty of virtualbox.. [06:31] very little CLI [06:31] Hello. [06:31] OldToker oh, I got the job done. I do it just often enough that I think I remember what I am doing, but I learn quickly otherwise ;) [06:31] I've off-loaded some folders to my SD card to help reduce load on the SSD but I need to have the mount setup early in the boot process, anyone know where I should put it? [06:32] Killeroid: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop-kde4 [06:32] Hi im having a problem with the x server, my resolution is all messed up, i cant change it to anything but 640 x 480, i tried recover x that didnt work [06:32] EnMasse187: read post by bluorder http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-559229.html [06:32] sourcefreak, you will also need to install the supplemental package for your current running kernel from your package manager. [06:32] ajhtiredwolf, Nvidia? [06:32] OldToker: yeah [06:32] OldToker: I´m just getting virtualbox :D not so fast. linux noob here [06:32] ajhtiredwolf, did you use envy? [06:33] OldToker: nope not sure what that is [06:33] sourcefreak, I'm a noob too :) [06:33] Killeroid: whoops. i mean kubuntu-kde4-desktop [06:33] sourcefreak, ok perhaps a little more advanced noob.. but still a noob. [06:33] !envy [06:33] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [06:33] heyy what's up??? [06:33] Anyone know what I should do to make sure that I have themount setup before it launches into X? Otherwise I get some error with /tmp not being available [06:33] ajhtiredwolf, it's a tool to install nvidia and ATI drivers.. there's a package for it in the package manager. [06:33] OldToker: don´t worry. I´m the bottom of linux noob^^ [06:34] OldToker: well the thing about my situation is that i already have them installed. But it just.. stopped working, one time when i rebooted it, it went back to normal resolution, but now it wont [06:34] sourcefreak, we all start there at one point or another. :) Welcome aboard. [06:35] charliega>: the quickest way is to reboot ur box with the card installed [06:35] nickrud: how do I get the latest version of the update manager? I edited my sources.list file appropriately. [06:35] anyone can help me solve a compatibility problem between OO and word? it seems that some boxes in a table simply disapear when opened with Word [06:35] ZStar ok, sudo apt-get install update-manager , that will pull in the latest version. [06:35] charliega>let linux probe the hardware and see what it comes up with [06:36] i have a small xcfe application menu problem [06:36] ZStar you did run sudo apt-get update already, right? [06:36] ajhtiredwolf, ahhh sounds like you havin the same problem I did... my problem is that the changes to the xorg.conf were not being written because that file is owned by root and the tool for what ever reason wasn't saving them as root.. so I made the changes by hand.. as root saved and rebooted.. perfect since. :) [06:36] if anyone wishes to help lil ol me [06:36] thank you speedbaron [06:36] OldToker: to the xorg.conf file? [06:36] aa2277: just ask... :) [06:36] yeah it fail'd [06:36] ah cool [06:36] okay so when i click on the application menu [06:36] it doesnt open [06:36] nothing shows [06:36] speedbaron where do I look to see if it has found it [06:37] ZStar hm, put a copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list on the pastebin [06:37] aa2277: please make it in one line so that it is easier to read. thanks! [06:37] Anyone else noticed hald leaking memory? Mine is using 1.2 gigabytes (99% of that RSS) atm... [06:37] yea im sorry about my typing style one second... [06:37] ajhtiredwolf, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorg.conf [06:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/31585/ same stuff [06:37] When i click on the 'start menu', the xcfe application browser menu thing, nothing happens. [06:38] OldToker: yeah unfortuantely that isnt how my xorg.conf file looks :( it hasnt since i installed 8.04. Now it just has generic useless info [06:38] this started happening about 2 hours ago after a few minor theme and mouse/keyboard setting changes. [06:38] aa2277: maybe you missing the menu file... do you have a menu file in ~/.config/xfce/... [06:38] ... also "haldaemon" username seems to be too long for "ps" to display it, thus ps resorts to numbers. top on the other hand cuts the n. [06:38] ZStar you didn't change your sources. Put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on the pastebin [06:39] ajhtiredwolf, Like I said.. I was having the same issue with my xorg.conf.. was being changed.. but not saved.. so I had to save the changes by hand.. [06:39] yes the default menu file is still in there. It appears to be using that, but still nothing opens, ive checked and the file does exist [06:39] ajhtiredwolf, at least it sounds like my issue.. [06:39] ajhtiredwolf, may not necessarily be what you are experiencing :) [06:40] I can't activate the visual effects to normal , what to do [06:40] OldToker: hmmm actually now my xorg.conf is dispalying some useful info. If I pastebin it woudl you mind taking a look at it and guessing what would need to be cahnged? [06:40] hi all [06:40] This is very frustrating [06:40] well that's always a good idea.. :) [06:40] Hitsman: Do you have your graphics card drivers correclty installed? [06:40] I may not know.. but someone in here might. [06:40] how can i show the NTFS drivers content ? [06:40] I have to Alt+F2 just to run any program or open settings [06:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/31590/ [06:41] nickrud: [06:41] i have to start the network manager manually every startup [06:41] I'm going to take a very short break soon [06:41] Hey guys, I'm having trouble mounting a windows share, can someone help? Probably user error since I'm not very experienced in linux. =P [06:41] aa2277: hmm. have you tried renaming the ~/.config/xfce directory? then logging out and back in? [06:41] charliega> ifconfig === king is now known as philip_ [06:42] http://pastebin.ca/1086007 [06:42] odd: Renaming?....wouldnt that cause issues? [06:42] charliega> that should list all the interfaces available [06:42] http://www.cuil.com/ New search engine! [06:42] ajhtiredwolf, I'm not using ubuntu... but it's a dirivitive of it.. so should be mostly the same. [06:42] aa2277: doubt it... if so, just delete the new folder and rename it back... [06:42] i mean im kind of new at all of this, im not exactly a tech whiz in the first place, if theres an issue that keeps me from even opening internet or IRC then im screwed and have to reinstall. [06:42] charliega> this is a wireless modem right? [06:42] what version should i choose for WINE ? does it matter much, they suppose to be backward compat ? [06:42] R2P, how are you attempting to mount the share? [06:42] ZStar you need to change all of the archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com , not just some of them ;) [06:43] i go #wine [06:43] odd: is it possible to refresh the menu file? [06:43] aa2277: irssi is a command line irc client, w3m is a command line web browser [06:43] charliega> if u have all the wireless packages is installed [06:43] flannel: ? why do you mention? [06:43] is there a way to use virtualbox to boot an already installed os on a different partition? [06:43] ajhtiredwolf, BRB [06:43] ZStar just so you know, if you upgrade from edgy to feisty, you'll have this very issue in october. feisty reaches eol then. I would strongly recommend you just get hardy and install that [06:43] unop: I've tried using this sites instructions: http://cri.ch/linux/docs/sk0001.html and this sites: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-remote-windows-partition-windows-share-under-linux.html both fail at the mount command. [06:43] aa2277: try renaming the ~/.config/xfce directory. and logging out. it should automatically recreate itself again... [06:44] aa2277: In case your GUI breaks, you'll know how to come here and get help fixing it (instead of reinstalling). You'll need to install irssi, but w3m is installed by default [06:44] FAJALOU1, no unfortunately [06:44] ManualOverDozer8: i'll private message you since Wine support is off topic really in this channel [06:44] oh, i see. [06:44] R2P, whats the error you get? that's important [06:44] Flannel: i prefer weechat and links ;) [06:44] unop: so you need the iso for vb to run.... is there a packaged to get an already installed os to run? [06:44] ZStar you can preserver nearly your entire package install list, and replicate it with !cloning [06:44] !clone | ZStar [06:44] ZStar: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [06:44] unop: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //ServBoard2/Stuffs, [06:44] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [06:44] odd: call me a n00b but i dont know where that directory is. [06:44] Odd-rationale: w3m is installed by default [06:45] yeah I'm gonna order a CD and just wait it out :) thanks [06:45] brb too [06:45] ZStar you can download and burn it, of course. [06:45] R2P, ok, now let's look at the command. [06:45] aa2277: in your home folder. you might have to go to view --> show hidden files... [06:45] guys i need to convert avi to wmv7/8/9 what are my options? [06:45] FAJALOU1, hmm, i don't think so [06:45] Flannel: yeah i know... [06:45] hmm shoot ok thanks unop [06:45] unop: sudo mount -t cifs //ServBoard2/Stuffs -o username=Rent2Pwn,password=skhorpion /mnt/sb2 ive also tried that replacing cifs with smbfs [06:46] Odd: okay, renaming. If i /quit my blood is on your hands ;) [06:46] R2P, try this. sudo mount -t cifs -o username=Rent2Pwn,password=skhorpion //ServBoard2/Stuffs /mnt/sb2 [06:47] My Sound isn't working when it comes to linux but i can hear normally in Mozilla Stream and stuff [06:47] unop: same error [06:47] any1 could help? [06:47] I have some problem with run level I think .. when linux come uo before login I have to go to the tty1 and run these command > "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" after that "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" if I don't my partion's doesn't mount and I face to many problems ... what do you think about my problem ? [06:48] EnMasse187: try http://www.zamzar.com/ [06:48] R2P, try this. smbclient //ServBoard2/Stuffs [06:48] odd: rename the entire .config directory or just a subdirec? [06:48] R2P, actually. smbclient -L //ServBoard2/Stuffs [06:49] aa2277: either. i would do the entire ~/.config dir but doing just ~/.config/xfce is probably safer... [06:49] hi all [06:49] hi, x5x-ubuntu [06:49] Is anyone familiar with Xorg configuration? I'm trying to install and configure evtouch for my touchscreen monitor (http://www.conan.de/touchscreen/evtouch.html), however the methods described on the mentioned website cause the regular mouse and keyboard to be disabled. [06:49] unop: that doesnt work, however, smbclient -L //ServBoard2 -U Rent2Pwn does [06:50] alright [06:50] also I could not turn off my sstem means when I click on turn off button my system hangs if I don't run those commands [06:50] hey [06:50] i changed it from xfce 4 to xfce and then back again [06:50] nice people are talking on here :) [06:50] now i shall log out and try to log back in, see if anything is fixed :D [06:50] aa2277: no don't change it back.. [06:51] woops wrong channel :-S [06:51] no idea ? [06:51] aa2277: change it to something else then log out. like change xfce4 to xfce4.bak and leave it like that. then log out [06:51] R2P, hmm, are you able to list files on that share when you use nautilus? [06:51] unop: Nope, says its empty without even asking for username/password [06:52] aa2277: you still here? got that? [06:52] R2P, is that share under your control? [06:52] speedbaron yes, it is a sprint Merlin s620 EV-DO wireless modem [06:52] unop: Yes it is, its running on widows server 2003 [06:52] windows* [06:53] charliega> ok.. ifconfig should list it [06:53] charliega> as an interface [06:53] Hey all. New Ubuntu user here, name of Suilenroc. I'm new to this whole IRC thing, but I just wanted to thank any of you here in the #ubuntu channel who've helped create this great OS. It's pretty much replaced my vista install entirely, disregarding my off TF2 fix every now and then. [06:53] R2P, have you ensured that atleast "Authenticated users" have ability to read that share and read the directory associated with the share? [06:54] Odd_ [06:54] aa2277: yeah? [06:54] suilenroc, well it's got it's advantages.. and it's drawbacks.. namely gaming support. [06:54] still broken, and it changed my background settings [06:54] unop: When I had XP installed (few hours ago), I did have access to it after supplying credentials. [06:54] Do you know if theres a way to restore default settings? [06:54] aa2277: did you change it? and change it back. then logged out? [06:54] really id completely reinstall the operating system if i didnt just put on 24 gb a few weeks ago [06:54] yup [06:55] aa2277: no don't change it back.. [06:55] aa2277: change it to something else then log out. like change xfce4 to xfce4.bak and leave it like that. then log out [06:55] oh [06:55] Well here we go again [06:55] suilenroc: what computer did you replace it on - asking couse I will HP Pavilion dv7-1070eo buy and install ubuntu on that laptop [06:56] Aye. Now, I've heard alot about WINE, and the fact that it's recently released it's 1.0 distribution seems nice. Is it advanced enough yet to run a steam game at full graphics and good framerates? [06:56] suilenroc, Wine is shakey at best.. some games work and some don't [06:56] not really [06:57] suilenroc: Depends which game. [06:57] suilenroc, there are other alternatives commercial ventures.. so I won't push them.. that are specialized for gamers.. [06:57] suilenroc: but go to wine and ask for that :) I got cod4 to work ubuntu wine 1.0 [06:57] x5x-ubuntu, I replaced it on a custom built computer that I made on my own. 8800gt GeForce, AMD 5600+, 4 gigs of RAM [06:57] Thank you speedbaron, I will try this tomorrow. I am completely new to linux but am so sick of windows. I appreciate the help and community spirit here. [06:57] suilenroc: I've played Warcraft III (not steam, but on full specs) and CS 1.6/Source which worked quite well [06:57] bye [06:58] suilenroc: cool ! [06:58] games that use heavy directx will fail [06:58] sidstudios, not bad, css is the same engine as TF2. [06:58] alright, odd_: [06:58] suilenroc, I played WoW.. and now Guildwars.. with wine [06:58] aa2277: no luck? [06:58] is there something in gnome that is similar to plasmoids in kde? [06:58] speedbaron, do you know if Team Fortress Two is one of those games? [06:58] Its still broken, and it recreated the xfce4 folder [06:58] so now i have xfce.bak and xfce [06:58] oldtoker, how did they run? [06:58] should i delete the renamed one? [06:58] R2P, so smblient is able to list the share? [06:58] WoW, is almost flawless.. [06:58] suilenroc: Oh, didn't know that [06:58] u r welcome: linux can be pain but better than windows [06:58] no solution ? [06:58] or maybe move it to an external or something, and try to boot from the new one? [06:59] aa2277: first of all. did it work? [06:59] Guildwars is extreemly playable.. but has some minor graphical disturbances. [06:59] Sorry, I'm new to this IRC thing, i've figured out that typing in a persons name at the beginning targets messages to them. Can everyone see those messages, or only the people it's targetted at. [06:59] no :( [06:59] R2P, maybe you could try smbmount - not sure that makes much of a difference, but worth a shot anyway [06:59] unop: Yes, it lists all share names on the box and even the OS it's running on. [06:59] Oldtoker: You have guildwars? :p [06:59] SidStudios, Yep [06:59] sidstudios, yeah, it's based on the Source engine. [06:59] suilenroc: for wine http://appdb.winehq.org/ [06:59] Well, I guess that answers my questions. :) [06:59] suilenroc, everyone sees them they highlighted in red for the person they directed to :) [06:59] I mean, the question for the direction of messages. [06:59] OldToker: Nice, which ones do you have ON UBUNTU LINUX? *keeps this on-topic* [07:00] OldToker, ah, thanks. [07:00] I'm on LinuxMint [07:00] Ahah, sorry. >.> [07:00] suilenroc> Team fortress two: might not work... i have it... i could try it === Don_Miguel is now known as BlinkyToon [07:00] unop: Is smbfs required to mount a windows share? [07:00] ... [07:00] R2P, you mean the packages? === BlinkyToon is now known as Don_Miguel [07:00] One thing I've noticed in Ubuntu is that my firefox seems to be loading pages quite slowly. It takes quite a while to resolve the page. Does anyone know how to fix that? [07:00] odd_: sorry about that [07:00] unop: Yes [07:00] suilenroc: Team fortress two - http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5823 [07:01] Ubuntu derivative.. [07:01] who's asking about tf2? [07:01] I have it working on WINE [07:01] x5x-ubuntu, awesome, thanks. [07:01] is there something in gnome that is similar to plasmoids in kde? [07:01] just alot less configuration and running around for repo's to get some multimedia stuff working.. as it's enabled out of the box. [07:01] suilenroc> ipv6 [07:01] aa2277: maybe we should be more aggressive... why don't you move the .config directory to the trash. and then log out... [07:01] suilenroc: np :) been new to :) [07:01] elo_, I belive that you'd be looking for superkaramba [07:01] ?! [07:01] hey how is every body doing [07:01] R2P, no [07:01] one question [07:01] aa2277: hey, i've done it many times... [07:01] hold on, let me compare the folder contents between the one i renamed and the new one i created [07:02] but superkaramba doesnt become transparent or take different themes does it? [07:02] I've disabled ipv6, it's still slow. [07:02] suilenroc: As opposed to? [07:02] elo_, I honestly couldn't answer that one.. [07:02] yea, from the look of it, now that i think about it it might just recreate the whole directory, effectly changing it to default, right? [07:02] elo_, Sry.. :( [07:02] i remember using superkaramba in the past and it doesnt come close to the visible level of plasma [07:02] having problems with my internet [07:02] R2P, funny, i get the same error you get trying to mount a share on this machine [07:02] aa2277: yep... [07:02] sidstudios, ? [07:03] my computer frezzes every time i use the internet === Cc2iscooL_ is now known as Cc2iscooL [07:03] okay odd_: im deleting it.....here we go :( [07:03] suilenroc: You said Firefox was slow, as opposed to what? FF on Windows? Opera? [07:03] unop: :-( [07:03] wait, you said delete .config? or just move it into the trash [07:03] aa2277: either... [07:03] ah [07:03] SidStudios, ah, I see. It's slow compared to FF on windows. Much slower. Even IE is faster. [07:03] aa2277: just get rid of it... :) [07:03] SidStudios, Since I don't play WoW anymore * I couldn't stand paying for it over and over and over * So Guildwars is what I have now installed, just to answer your earlier question.. [07:04] bbiab :) [07:04] OldToker: Meh, it sucks that lvl 20 is the maximum for GuildWars, even on UBUNTU/LINUX MINT :-\ [07:04] suilenroc: Strange, IE is supposed to be faster anyways [07:05] SidStudios, The game doesn't even get started till level 20.. I know seems wierd.. but it's true.. and it runs good on my *buntu clone :) [07:05] odd_: I just figured out something that may help, when i click on the xfce4 menu, it appears to open something, but its just a little like 3x3 dark box with black borders [07:05] bbia second [07:05] Help with OpenOffice 2,4 [07:05] R2P, actually. i was wrong, you do need smbfs as it's the package that contains mount.smbfs and mount.cifs [07:05] SidStudios, well, not that faster. I'm talking about having to wait 30 seconds for a page to load in FF on Ubuntu, versus instant load on Windows [07:05] SidStudios:: you mean this game ? GuildWars http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9194 [07:05] SidStudios, is there an Off-topic *buntu chan?

I was hoping that wouldn't be the case... guess I can't have it all === Guest1212 is now known as berbsd [07:41] Bogus8, the backports are there to provide newer versions of packages that are really really needed in an older release -- and that's mainly a desktop issue and as such there aren't many backports for packages on a server release [07:42] unop: I understand.. I just thought it might have longer support all around...

I'm on Dapper. See !prevu for how to backport stuff on your own if you need it (I've done sobby, and considered mpd for a while) [07:43] Bogus8, well, i'd say you won't be missing much - or even anything at all - with the backports repo missing [07:43] zvacet: nice, I glanced at the apt source... but didn't look very long... didn't see that it had backports already.. that's handy [07:44] Hello I could use some help [07:44] Bogus8: generally a good idea to stay away from adding the backports repo, instead just pull in any packages you need.

[08:10] GITS1: right, if you go into /pool/main/ you'll see build-essential, and a number of things that it depends on (everything will be there) [08:11] Flannel: thanks. i didn't even think of this. I was d/ling packages from ubuntu's site [08:11] GITS1: You'll unfortunately have to install the depends first, they are: dpkg-dev, g++, gcc, linux-libc-dev, libc6-dev, make, etc. [08:11] !help > tomasko [08:11] tomasko, please see my private message [08:11] ah two "t"s [08:12] I don't believe gdebi will work in a situation like that. So, if you just double click build-essential, it'll complain about depends not being satisfied, install those, etc. [08:12] Flannel: is there a way you could apt-cache that for me and paste on here so i know what to install? [08:12] GITS1: that might be the easiest way, to be honest. [08:12] GITS1: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential [08:13] GITS1: but those depends also have depends, etc (you can click on them in the browser to see) [08:13] HELP! [08:13] i like what wubi does, i like the "my grandma can use it" nature of ubuntu, but i like the speed of arch linux. is there any way i can have all three or at least a fast ubuntu on a laptop intended for a technophobe? [08:13] GITS1: thats why I say just shotgun depends-satisfying (as opposed to shotgun debugging) might be easier (try to install, see what it complains about, install that, etc) [08:14] Help with OpenOffice !

[08:19] how do i reset the iptables to the default settings? [08:19] GITS1: ah, that's becaues its looking for packages. Go ahead and edit your sources.list, and comment that out (or go to Software Sources, and uncheck the CD) [08:20] GITS1: start with the low level stuff, gcc-4.2 folder [08:20] GITS1: gcc-4.2, libstdc++ libc6-dev etc [08:20] Flannel: so that's y.

[09:36] zetheroo: sudo nautilus [09:36] Does anyone know why when I open OOo Calc I can't see the title bar of Calc, nor the two Ubuntu panels? Thanks. [09:36] zetheroo: then just try copying them again [09:36] cweagans: ok thanks [09:36] cweagans do you know of a way to access folders with names (ie: Program Files) with a space in the name, from terminal ? %?? [09:36] Program\ Files [09:36] ... and it's not in the 'full screen' setting, as such. [09:36] cd Program\ Files [09:37] cweagans: will that work from the LiveCD? [09:37] How to Make wine as best ? [09:37] zetheroo: what format is the external in? [09:37] zetheroo: it should [09:37] as long as the USB drive isn't NTFS [09:37] if Ubuntu did automount my windows volume whats the best way to [09:37] viqas: probably NTFS [09:37] zetheroo: are you moving the file or copy [09:37] zetheroo: NTFS is read only [09:37] cant write to ntfs by default [09:38] ManualOverDozer8, also you could quote it this way. "Program Files" or 'Program Files' [09:38] viqas: well some of the files copy ... so its not the hard drive that's at fault [09:39] unop that seems a little more reasonable, thank you [09:39] zetheroo: are you moving or copying the files [09:40] guys need some help: im trying to access my windows files after using the ubuntu webui install. it did automount then anywhere i can find. is there a command i can run?

[09:43] apo: samba, FTP, SSH.....how much work do you want to go through? [09:43] =D [09:43] I am accessing other WinXP computers normally. [09:43] apo, are you talking about AD? [09:43] will \\computername work in mozzilla ? [09:43] hi all, is there a way to become root when sudo is broken? [09:43] ManualOverDozer8: no [09:43] axel_s: su [09:44] axel_s, reboot into rescue/single user mode. [09:44] axel_s: then enter your root password [09:44] cweagans, ubuntu doesn't have a root password. [09:44] cweagans, what is the root passwd? [09:44] axel_s, there is none unless you've set one [09:44] why do i get "su: Authentication failure" when i use su instead of sudo ? === komputer12 is now known as sintya_dewi [09:44] ManualOverDozer8, same with me [09:44] hey guys im using compiz fusion and when i use my Applications / Places / System bar sometimes a blank white rectangle appears which only dissappears from me clicking on it a few times which is rather annoying, any ideas how id fix this guys? [09:44] ManualOverDozer8: "sudo su" ? [09:45] even though I haven't set a root pw [09:45] which command will tell me the version of a package in the repository? === PiStAchiO is now known as SweetHeartDoll [09:45] ManualOverDozer8, su is going to root user, which requires the root password. sudo executes the command after that as root using your own password. axel_s === komputer12 is now known as sintya_dewi [09:45] su requires you to enter the root user's password (not your password) [09:45] !compizfusion [09:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about compizfusion [09:46] hischild, so in case I've set a root pwd and don't remember I'm screwed [09:46] i tried sudo su and now su works without pass, i still dont get it [09:46] Rageon: run metacity --replace =D [09:46] axel_s, no. YOu can reboot into single user mode which will get you root automatically. Then you can run passwd to reset it. [09:46] Hey there === komputer12 is now known as sintya_dewi [09:46] whut is metacity [09:46] !compiz | Rageon [09:46] Rageon: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [09:46] but then do i even need su instead of sudo ? [09:46] Where are UBS-printer pointet at in /dev ? [09:46] hischild, thanks, I'lll try [09:46] Rageon: metacity is the default window manager [09:46] oh lol/ [09:46] =D [09:47] ManualOverDozer8: not really. But doing "sudo su" takes you into a root terminal, so it saves you having to prefix everything important with "sudo" [09:47] i have workgroup LAN with a Win 2003 Server, WinXPp and an ubuntu. I acn access the files of winxp. but couldnot the Server 2003. how can i access the files? [09:47] I've connected an m2400w-printer, but there is no entry in /dev/usb/lp0 [09:47] apo, "could not" means what exactly? [09:47] osfameron, the correct way for that would be sudo -i, not sudo su. The first sets up the env properly. [09:47] is there any ways to stop tearing while using compiz-fusion on drivers other than nvidia non-free? [09:48] osfameron yes now i recall doing that. [09:48] it seems sync to vblank only works on nvidia non-free driver [09:48] hischild, the problem is that my gf turned off my computer during dist upgrade and now most programs don't work because it cant resolve my local hostname anymore [09:48] apo: easiest would be to set up an FTP server on your win2k3 server and use an FTP client to transfer files back and forth [09:48] !hostname | axel_s [09:48] axel_s: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [09:48] hischild: you could also do sudo su -, which gets basically the same result [09:48] =D [09:48] Does anyone know why when I open OOo Calc I can't see the title bar of Calc, nor the two Ubuntu panels? Thanks. [09:48] cweagans, err no === Templar_Xion is now known as Templar_Xion|Sle [09:49] ubottu, right sudo doesn't work anymore ;-) [09:49] axel_s: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:49] i am working on a workgroup. can access the pc with winxp, but unable to access the pc with win 2003 server os [09:49] anybody? [09:49] cweagans, that leaves the env as it is, as the user set it up. sudo -i reinitializes the env as root, which is how it should be. [09:49] ubottu, no gui because X wont start because of the same hostname issue [09:49] axel_s: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:49] axel_s, ubottu is a bot .. you will need to set the hostname in recovery mode [09:49] hischild: oh, gotcha -- you wanted root env [09:49] sorry [09:49] misread [09:49] how install by wine? [09:50] I'm running samba behind a firewall, but i don't know which port it uses, i cant access files from another computer [09:50] hischild: ah, shiny, not seen that [09:50] * cweagans jumps off cliff in fear of kun-10's wine questions [09:50] have installed banshee but it will not pick up tracks on my ipod I am new to Ubuntu can you help please [09:50] Gazbo14: amarok has pretty good support [09:50] how do I get into single user mode? [09:50] ok thanks.. ill give that a try.. [09:50] axel_s, you can reboot into single user mode, which gives you root. Then you can use vim, vi or any other text editor to edit /etc/hosts to add your hostname to that list. [09:50] anyone? :( [09:51] apo, what have you tried? where is it failing? do you get any error messages? is the server and share visible to your ubuntu client? - the more you tell us the easier it is to help you [09:51] axel_s: reboot and select the recovery mode from the grub list [09:51] cweagans, ok thanks [09:51] how install by wine? [09:51] axel_s: but it is console only [09:51] in terminal > wine installprogram.exe [09:51] cweagans, lets hope this works with my raid 0 setup [09:51] replace installprograme.exe with the install program name [09:51] =D [09:51] cweagans, console is fine [09:51] Gnarf. Anyone there knows why my usb-printer is listes by "lsusb" but /dev/usb/lp0 isnt present on hardy-server? [09:52] what is upstart?

For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [09:52] ok [09:53] i can see the server in network, but see nothing when click at the icon.. no error message also. [09:53] cweagans, cool I changed my root passwd in recovery mode... even though I've seen some device related warnings [09:54] cweagansjust left [09:54] Isn't that a security problem that root access can be gained by just starting the recovery console? [09:54] axel_s, having physical access to your computer is always a security problem. [09:54] axel_s if there is a will, there is a way [09:54] axel_s, yes. but if a person can physically access your machine, there isn't much you can do [09:54] thats right [09:55] hey dont tell him about liveCd and windows :P [09:55] $ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT Is this correct? under iptables [09:55] i can't install by wine [09:56] okay how should my /etc/hosts look like? [09:56] apo, at a terminal, issue this command. smbclient //server/share -U username # can you connect to the share? [09:56] wine: /home/kun-10/.wine is not owned by you [09:56] axel_s, what's your hostname? [09:56] neon [09:56] Does anyone know why when I open OOo Calc I can't see the title bar of Calc, nor the two Ubuntu panels? Thanks. [09:56] you cant install WINE or you cant install a program to WINE ? [09:56] program [09:56] axel_s, then one line should look like this --> neon 127.0.0.1 [09:56] use terminal [09:56] p4_xxx, sounds good [09:56] i use it [09:56] like this > wine thenprogramname.exe [09:57] hischild, it looks like it should be vice versa from the entries I can see in hosts [09:57] wine Farm Frenzy 2.exe [09:57] hischild, otherway around. [09:57] axel_s, my bad --> reverse that --> 127.0.0.1 neon [09:57] you need to configure wine first>. wincfg [09:57] 127.0.0.1 neon? [09:57] okay thanks [09:57] unop, ^ [09:57] bash: wine: command not found [09:57] wincfg [09:57] winecfg [09:57] what next? [09:57] did you configre wine ? [09:57] hischild, wow now I've found the problem of all evil.. it said "127.0.1.1 neon" in the files [09:58] i don't now how [09:58] hello! [09:58] weird [09:58] type > winecfg in terminal [09:58] axel_s, that doesn't matter .... the entire range of 127.0.*.* is good. [09:58] ok [09:58] i got link just a sec [09:58] i type it [09:58] Can you tell me why my bluetooth device (mobile phone) is not recognizable on ubuntu 8.04? [09:58] open window [09:58] whats next? [09:59] anyone tell me how id go about uninstalling firefox3.0 preview and installing current ff3? [09:59] !wine [09:59] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [09:59] Rageon, how did you install the preview? [09:59] hischild, thanks for everything! bye! [10:00] someone gave me a command to run lol [10:00] what's a ubuntu panarama stitching software? [10:00] (package) [10:00] inflex: hugin [10:00] Rageon, hmm, that doesn't help very much. what does this return? dpkg -l *firefox* [10:00] thankyou mrtimdog [10:00] hischild, one more question: what the command to upgrade/distupgrade on command line? [10:01] axel_s, sudo aptitude dist-upgrade <---- iirc [10:01] axel_s, sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude safe-upgrade / dist-upgrade [10:01] what safe-upgrade? [10:02] axel_s, upgrade safely, without removing anything that might conflict with updates of packages [10:02] unop, it sends out a printoutlike bunch of stufff [10:02] Rageon, ok, can you put that up on a pastebin? [10:03] like pm u with it or? [10:03] can any1 help with this: http://pastebin.com/d12ce9931 http://pastebin.com/d4ad948e1 http://pastebin.com/d6ab417d9 [10:03] !pastebin | Rageon [10:03] Rageon: 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) [10:03] unop, is that the recommended way of upgrading? === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [10:04] axel_s, actually this is recommended when doing a dist-upgrade. sudo aptitude install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade # it updates your /etc/apt/sources.list file accordingly [10:04] unop, http://paste.ubuntu.com/31662/ [10:05] or couldnt you just do an automatic upgrade? and have things less complicated? cant we trust the auto upgrade by 2008? [10:06] i wonder if this classifys as a bug or a feature, but if you change your theme the orange ubuntu-gnome symbol in the upper left corner will always stay the same [10:06] with gnome this is normally blue (looks better with other themes than the default) [10:06] unop, my situation is that during an upgrade to the development branch my computer was turned off [10:06] hi all [10:07] network manager is not working correct [10:07] helo. [10:07] axel_s, then these might do. sudo aptitude install -f; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade; [10:07] the wireless lan driver is working and i can set the ssid of an accesspoint with iwconfig [10:07] however [10:07] any ideas unop? [10:07] axel_s: i would recommend starting over with http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [10:07] Rageon, yep, coming up [10:07] netwrokmanager does not "see" the wireless lan [10:07] cheers [10:07] it just shows the wired network [10:08] also when looking at /var/log/daemon [10:08] it does not do anything wlan related [10:08] Rageon, sudo aptitude purge $(dpkg -l | grep -i firefox | cut -d " " -f 2); sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install firefox [10:08] pikeshouse88, does that just upgrade? [10:09] can i do all those as one line mate or chop em up at the sudo's? [10:09] axel_s: i'm assuming you are plaing around with intrepid ibex because you are testing or developing, and you arent concerned with unforseen crashes and losses. so i would reformat and get into the development branch from scratch with that live cd [10:09] ^playing [10:09] Rageon, better to copy and paste all that in.. but you can chop them down. though what would be the point? :) [10:10] yea just making sure i can paste 1 line, as id rather be lazy :D [10:10] Rageon, one step ahead of you there :) [10:10] jc-denton: I used wpa_supplicant (because nm didn't handle web/wpa) [10:10] hehe [10:11] pogay: me too [10:11] pogay: and i'm fed up with it [10:11] also it's not my laptop [10:11] so i don't want to hear this [10:11] what application i install to save my current setup to CDRW . i know something like ???2iso ?? [10:11] iso2CD ? [10:11] is there a tool for logging file access via samba? eg. who deleted sth. etc. [10:12] hi [10:12] instead of this ...$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT i did $ sudo iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT, and now i can browse my files but it seem slow when it is asking for password , do u know if i have to do the same in all these ports ? 137,138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp [10:12] in hardy-proposed [10:12] so how does the network manager "talk" to the wlan driver? [10:13] sauerbraten is break package [10:13] pogay: it's retarded to write a configuration file to join a wlan network [10:13] p4_xxx, i would suggest that yes. [10:13] jc-denton: yeah, I agree!!! [10:13] for few days now i cant update sauerbraten because is break with sauerbraten-data [10:13] :) [10:13] lol unop.. i had gran paridiso open when i uninstalled think it didnt work [10:14] jc-denton: o.k. I still run 7.10 [10:14] ok [10:14] aha [10:14] hm [10:14] whats the latest ff3 ? [10:14] Rageon, hmm, i'm not sure i follow? what do you mean? [10:14] !firefox3 [10:14] Firefox 3 Final is currently in the Hardy package repositories. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. [10:14] jc-denton i found an application much better than Network Manager [10:14] 3.0a8 ? [10:14] ManualOverDozer8: ?! [10:14] Rageon, 3.0.1 [10:14] loook [10:14] didint work then unop :( [10:14] ubuntu and kubntu both ship network manager [10:14] it normally works [10:15]  jc-denton WicD [10:15] seems to of installed another version of firefox 2? [10:15] but now it does not for xome strange reason [10:15] !info firefox3 | Rageon [10:15] normally is right but not always [10:15] come on ubottu - wake up [10:15] that sent me no info :O [10:15] remove NetMan and install WicD, you will find wireless is much more fluent to configure [10:15] ManualOverDozer8: i don't want anything different [10:15] Rageon, 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 is the current version [10:15] is it just another frontend to network manager/ [10:15]  jc-denton then you dont want ease of use [10:16] rageon: Package firefox3 does not exist in hardy [10:16] Rageon, you on hardy i assume? [10:16] so how does nm talk to the driver? [10:16] dunno lol [10:16] ManualOverDozer8: no it should work out of the box [10:16] hi there, if i make a simple script that just does: /usr/bin/php myfile1.php then /usr/bin/php myfile2.php how will that execute, run the 1st one and then the 2nd one once the first has finished or straight after another? [10:16]  jc-denton Network Manager doesnt like you using terminal commands [10:16] gutsy i thought [10:16] !version | Rageon [10:16] Rageon: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [10:16] Version: Acidblood 1.2.18 [10:16]  jc-denton and it does but as soon as you do any manual configure it freaks out [10:16] hey guys wot do i get for dvd drivers? [10:16] yea gutsy [10:16] this is on hardy [10:17] does it work on gutsy? [10:17] axel_s: if you dont want the develop branch, use http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/ [10:17] shutdown -r TIME 23:00 - why this command doesn't work? [10:17] AdvoWork, depends on how you write the script -- if those are on seperate lines, command 1 is executed first, when done, command 2 is done [10:17] jc-denton: may be an other network manager has less bug. I wasn't able to connect to a protected network,password never was accepted.. [10:17] jc-denton: but with iwconfig I could connect... [10:17] Rageon, unfortunately, firefox3 is only available in the hardy repos. [10:18] tparcina: TIME is not needed. sudo shutdown -r 23:00 [10:18] erUSUL: thank you! [10:18] is hardy older or newer tan gutsy? [10:18] newer [10:18] i was running the ff3 preview tho.. still am actually? [10:18] me too [10:18] Anyone an idea, why /dev/usb/lp0 isnt created when attach an usb-printer? [10:19] Navy: "tailf /var/log/messages" and attach the printer. Maybe you get some clue [10:19] let me ask again [10:19] requesting what type of dvd drivers i need to get for hardy heron? [10:19] how does nm talk to the wlan driver [10:19] if i upgrade to hardy will it remember all of my settings? === Vampy is now known as VampyInBed [10:19] sajuuk: dvd drives do not need anything special [10:19] cos if i don't know how, how am i supposed to fix it then [10:19] ? [10:19] Rageon, pretty much yea [10:20] hmm my dvd drive can't play evangelion... [10:20] any minus's about hardy? eg its still got compiz etc right? [10:20] sajuuk: for dvd playback (no data access) you need [10:20] !dvd | sajuuk [10:20] sajuuk: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [10:21] or use VLC [10:21] Rageon, there are a few nagging issues -- if firefox3 is the only reason you have to upgrade, i would say, don't [10:21] thx i will go through those [10:21] mmk [10:21] Rageon, you can install firefox 3 from mozilla's download [10:22] ? [10:22] i dont understand what the problem is. upgrade automatically, or reformat with a hardy disk. what else could you need? [10:23] erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31667/ [10:24] as famous australian racist politiion pauline hanson would say "please explain" :D [10:24] Nothing wrong with it [10:24] Rageon, http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0.1&os=linux&lang=en-US [10:26] Rageon: resize partitions so you have 10 GB free space on one of your disks, then install hardy there, then you can test and see what works and what not whitout interfering with your current system [10:26] Rageon, these instructions work despite being for the beta. http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/install-firefox-3-beta-3-on-ubuntu/ [10:26] Navy: only those lines... ? i got this extra line whn i plug mine usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x1904 [10:27] Nope. Only this 3 lines [10:27] Navy: so your device is not recogniced by usblp ¿¿ [10:27] unop so if file1.php does stuff to take 30 seconds, on a new line i call file2.php file2.php will only begin running after file1.php has completed? [10:27] cheers unop, does it cover in that how to uninstall the preview etc? [10:27] usblp? [10:27] AdvoWork, correct. [10:28] Navy: the module that handless usb printers afaik [10:28] AdvoWork, you can run them simulateneously - if that's what you are after. php file1 & php file2 [10:28] uhm... lets see if its loaded [10:28] unop nope, need them to run after each other if you get me, that should be great, cheers! [10:28] Rageon, errm no, but the command i gave you earlier should remove the "preview" [10:28] Navy: try "sudo modprobe usblp" with the printer plugged [10:29] cheers [10:29] Yeah [10:29] That was it [10:29] thanx [10:29] whats the offtopics room name? [10:29] AdvoWork: you can also have the second command run based on the return value of the first. "file1.php && file2.php" file2.php will only run if file1 completes successfully [10:30] erUSUL, how to thank you? [10:30] woot [10:30] Navy: no need; glad to help out [10:30] !offtopic [10:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:30] geirha how does it know if file1 has completed successfully though? [10:31] AdvoWork, each process returns an exit status to the shell. the shell uses this value to determine if it was a success or not [10:31] ahh I see [10:31] AdvoWork: if file1.php returns 0, that means it succeeded, all other values means it failed. I'm rusty on php, but you have the exit(number) function I think, and possibly return (number) [10:32] Navy: echo usblp | sudo tee -a /etc/modules [10:32] Its allready in [10:32] :) [10:32] But thank you [10:32] :-D i added all this ports 137,138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp,, in iptables ubuntu server trough samba ej. $ sudo iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT.

[10:34] you asked for help, i didnt, and you asked to be ignored. and this isnt the place to be offensive to people helping you [10:34] enuf said [10:34] I'm pondering setting up a PPA. [10:34] that's right [10:34] ManualOverDozer8: well said :F [10:34] people learn to not be rude [10:34] to be considerate and kind to others [10:34] Can I get wc to ignore new lines in cat src/*.ext | wc -l ? [10:35] ok i got gxine [10:35] and it still won't play dvd [10:35] harveyd, you mean "blank" lines? coz every line has a newline [10:35] yes blank lines, or lines containing only a new line at least [10:35] Does anyone here use DHCP and have both a working eth0 and wlan0? [10:36] hello to everybody :D [10:36] I thinks that all going good :D [10:37] apinunt check your dhclient.wlan0.leases file [10:37] harveyd, cat src/ext* | perl -lne 'print if /^\s*\S+/' | wc -l [10:37] brilliant, cheers [10:38] very weird... xine says i have everything to play dvd's... but dvds wont play [10:39] !dvd | sajuuk [10:39] sajuuk: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [10:39] done that [10:39] hey all [10:39] ManualOverDozer8: What I'm looking for is the content of /etc/network/interfaces from a working system as Ubuntu has created some obviously unusable entries in ours. [10:39] sajuuk: what exactly did you do [10:39] sajuuk: and did you try another dvd? [10:40] apinunt: just delete everything [10:40] jc-denton: its better to rename rather than delete [10:40] auto lo [10:40] auto lo inet loopback [10:40] downloaded gxine, made sure i had the lib codec thing, did "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh" command wasn't found, tried 2 dvds. [10:40] if you rename the interfaces file and reboot a fresh one will be created [10:40] jc-denton: And...? [10:41] nm should work w/o /etc/network/interfaces [10:41] not sure if you need it to bring up loopback [10:41] sajuuk: did you install libdvdcss (2)? [10:41] not version 1 [10:42] i will check [10:42] !dvd | sajuuk [10:42] sajuuk: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [10:42] ActionParsnip: already did that. [10:42] hi there! [10:42] tell me, please, how to find out what driver do my video card uses at this moment? [10:42] im on hardy [10:43] sajuuk: its a restricted format you need to download it separately. [10:43] so libdvdcss2 would be useless? [10:43] serge: lshw [10:43] and explicitly [10:43] serge: easiest way is to open your xorg.conf [10:43] or you can't play dvd's [10:43] can i do sudo apt-install libdvdcss2? [10:43] ActionParsnip: thanks! [10:43] no follow the above instructions [10:43] jc-denton: Are you saying the file is not used ? [10:43] cos synaptic takes too long [10:44] can i pm someone here...i need help [10:44] how to check what rights got group? [10:44] !patience | sajuuk [10:44] sajuuk: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [10:44] lol wrong thing for patience but you need to to download and install it, there are NO shortcuts. [10:45] blogi: ask in the room, you will get more responses [10:45] aye, i sometimes cant stand synaptic and its search function sometimes... [10:45] sajuuk: apt-get install [10:45] sajuuk: just follow the instructions above and it WILL work. [10:45] i didn't know you could download 'patience' ... that's wonderful. [10:46] sajuuk: what mrtimdog said ;) [10:46] mrtimdog: you can't do that with restricted formats/drivers [10:46] !info patience [10:46] Package patience does not exist in hardy [10:46] dOH! [10:46] sajuuk: and to search for packages containing the string foo in the terminal: aptitude search foo [10:46] aha [10:46] i [10:47] fine do what they say, when that fails, do as I said and you'll be able to play your dvd's [10:47] i'm still waiting to download free beer. [10:47] or you could just use VLC [10:47] and be done with it [10:47] ActionParsnip: u know, it didn't wrote me driver name (( [10:47] im doing both of wot you guys recommend me to do [10:48] hi anyone here firm with ubuntu-server [10:48] where can i find xorg.conf?

[10:53] sajuuk: secret is to make one for each machine you own and put it on your backup media [10:53] jc-denton: We've spent a few months trying to get wlan0 to work and even appear, and are now seeing that it exists and can begin negotiation with the router, but displays IP addresses which cannot be used. I think we can resolve the problem by manually editing the interfaces file but would like to see one that works currently. [10:53] serge: no, you need 3d accelleration, what graphics card do you have? [10:53] intel 945 [10:54] lol\ [10:54] serge: unless you have a tonne of ram you wont get compiz running in live environment === Joe_le_fourbe is now known as talope [10:54] i love ubuntu [10:54] me too [10:54] apinunt: just reinstall it would be faster :P [10:54] i love fluxbuntu [10:55] ok guys [10:55] why should the intel 945 not work [10:55] ??

[11:01] ghostcube: remove the old kernel [11:01] when using cp to copy files, is there any way to have cp return something if its worked? [11:01] serge: xorg may be able to detect the proper driver if you have no video device configured in xorg.conf, but it's only successful with video cards that does not use proprietary binary drivers [11:01] i have only 2 kernels [11:01] x.19 [11:02] x.20 [11:02] i always remove them [11:02] i use 200 mb boot [11:02] ghostcube: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:02] so not many space for old ones [11:02] ghostcube: keep the other until your sure the other works [11:02] sudo aptitude -y remove linux-image-2.6.24-19-server [11:02] ghostcube: they won't effect each other.

[11:03] sry [11:03] uff hard anti flood procedure :) [11:03] as explained above [11:03] if .20 isnt coming up, then sudo update-grub [11:03] jc-denton: if you must paste multiple line please use pastbin.ubuntu.com [11:03] and then you should see it [11:03] pikeshouse88: i know how this all works it works fine [11:04] it just freezes the kernel at startup [11:04] there is a readme that tells me to run this command to check for dependencies: make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]; make dep' BUT if i do that, all i get is >, and nothing happens. what am i doing wrong?? [11:04] bsusa, -R does that (see man chmod) [11:04] Alsa problem [ http://rafb.net/p/duAS4G70.html ] >> Any ideas? [11:04] Finiras: are you trying to build a custom kernel? [11:04] Blaqlight: oh i didn't know that [11:04] its an amd sempron cpu with 2 sata hard disks [11:04] apinunt: See man wpa_supplicant.conf, there's a few examples. [11:05] could it be the sata disks ? [11:05] blaqlight no, i am trying to install this program: motion [11:05] yep just tried it before forgot about that one i was using -r instead of -R [11:05] Finiras: use sudo apt-get install mothion [11:05] err [11:05] i think im out of luck with my dvd, vlc hasnt worked either but I swear i have a dvd player [11:05] k thanks Distrojockey [11:05] bsusa, you're welcome [11:05] sudo apt-get install motion [11:06] blaqlight sorry it is not what i meant, i am installing the driver for hte webcam first.

How should I set that up in the chroot environment? [11:06] so what is wrong about that command, blaqlight [11:07] Hey guys, I have just configured dual monitors in Ubuntu 8.04. Using ATI Radeon HD card and one 19inch CRT and one 22inch LCD. THe LCD has 1600x1050 and the 19" has 1680x1280 - I have done aticonfig --dtop=horizontal,reverse --overlay-on=1 and I am unable to drag windows from one screen to the next, i can move the mouse across both screens but not application windows, any idea how to get that working ? [11:07] Distrojockey: just another thing is their a way of always having 777 permissiond in that folder if i copy new data to that location? [11:07] Or does it not work with different resolutions [11:07] AikonIV: look in the . file in your home directory, eg: .gnome2 .pidgin etc, to understand how it's setup [11:07] hi [11:07] geirha: Why is it a bad idea? [11:07] hi there, i'm having problems, certain applications have stopped working, as in i can't open them anymore, and i can't run scripts. unfortunately these are important programs like terminal and firefox [11:07] how can I make a "short-cut" command again? [11:07] bsusa, as geirha said 777 is not a good idea [11:08] but its just for a temp storage folder [11:08] its only for one folder [11:08] there is a readme that tells me to run this command to check for dependencies: make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]; make dep' BUT if i do that, all i get is >, and nothing happens. what am i doing wrong?? (i am trying to install a webcam driver) [11:08] why would it be bad [11:08] ikonia: ok, but I want the files to be in the squashfs to load with the LiveCD. So I guess the question is how do I change the default files in the home directory for the live user? [11:09] bsusa: it gives everyone write access, you should put all users that need write-access into a group [11:09] coul you explain please? [11:09] geirha is right. [11:09] yes understadable i know but its for a temp folder for everyone to access [11:10] jus need them for this particular folder itsallgood [11:10] thanks heaps guys [11:10] mrtimdog: I don't see any samples of a good interfaces file in that, and we've looked at man interfaces, but are wanting to see what is really NEEDED in the file for everything to work. [11:10] hello i have a big problem with sudo. Ive installed the hardy heron 8.04 64bit version and this version doesn't had a live CD installation only a text installation.

[11:35] geirha how do I use it when it's on my desktop? and my username is nickolaus [11:36] Ubobtu45: you need to set the proper path to that file. Possibly: sudo dpkg --set-selections < ~/Desktop/my-package [11:37] how do i unhide folders?????? [11:37] ??? === mabus_ is now known as [Mabus-Wrk] [11:37] chriswr, ctrl+h [11:37] chriswr: are you sure you want to do that? naming a file or folder with a . infront hides it. If you want to see hidden files in nautilus, the file browser, hit Ctrl+H to toggle === SunWuKung|away is now known as SunWuKung|away|a [11:39] can anyone tell me where I can get PythonLibs for hardy? [11:39] pythonlibs? what dyou mean pythonlibs? [11:39] python-dev perhaps? [11:39] how do i set the ssh login shell on a remote machine? [11:39] it defaults to tcsh ..i want bash [11:40] run "chsh" from the remove machine and change it from there [11:40] remote [11:40] nich^, i need it to work on login [11:40] ikonia: ok heres the low down - my xwindows isnt booting at all unless using recovery mode... the ubuntu Studio logo comes up and it freezes [11:40] Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. [11:40] anirudh0: yes, chsh (change shell) changes the login shell [11:40] else i could always type "bash" in the remote machine [11:41] nickolaus, open a terminal, and enter: killall firefox [11:41] I keep getting that error when I try to load firefox. [11:41] thanks [11:41] anirudh0: however, the ability to run chsh may be turned off if the admins of the remote servers are a bit paranoid [11:41] geirha DistroJockey just wondering if it works in backtrack , trying to install it and had to delete file , thnx [11:42] how do i add a new user through the terminal if i can't access the user gui thing? [11:42] drebellion it's still giving me that error. [11:42] lusule: adduser --help [11:42] yup..my admins are paranoid..cant run chsh [11:42] lusule, 'adduser' [11:42] nickolaus: killall -9 firefox-bin [11:42] chriswr, backtrack is a live cd only (and is not ubuntu) [11:42] Blaqlight, is there a way? [11:42] geirha, if i need to give it full admin access like my default user? [11:42] i added /bin/bash to .ssh/rc..that did'nt work...says /bin/bash ..command not found [11:42] DistroJockey: but you can still install on hdd [11:43] lusule, you need to edit /etc/sudoers using 'visudo' [11:43] anirudh0: you edit .bashrc and add 'tsch' to the bottom [11:43] anirudh0: figure out the location of bash by typing "which bash" [11:43] anirudh0, what are you trying to do? [11:43] DRebellion, thanks [11:43] its /bin/bash only..however i still get command not found [11:43] DistroJockey: etleast thats what ive read and trying to figure out ,(and no its not ubuntu , but it is linux , and most of the linux systems are somewhat alike) [11:43] hyperair it keeps saying no process killed. [11:43] DRebellion, i want to run in bash [11:43] DRebellion, my admin like tcsh [11:44] anirudh0, then change his shell in /etc/passwd [11:44] !ot | chriswr [11:44] chriswr: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:44] nickolaus: okay.. then try ps aux | grep firefox and pastebin the results. [11:44] lusule: sudo adduser username; sudo adduser username admin [11:44] i am not superuser [11:44] geirha, thanks [11:44] anirudh0, then ask him to change his shell in /etc/passwd [11:45] harveyd, src/*.ext | perl -lne 'print if /^\s*\S+|^\s*\%/' | | wc -l [11:45] could anyone suggest a good way of timing how long a livecd takes to boot [11:45] is there a way I can use a ubuntu server edition to do network logon on several windows vista boxes? [11:45] stop watch isnt really accurate enough [11:45] If that admin won't install bash, could you install bash locally I think [11:45] jmunro, 'dmesg' [11:45] lusule: if you want the user to have the exact same access, run "groups yourusername" and "groups thenewusername" and compare. Then "sudo adduser username anothergroup" to add the user to another group [11:46] nich^, you could compile bash and use it without insalling it [11:46] geirha, thanks a load :) now i need to log into that account and see if i can find the source of my problme :( [11:47] is there a way I can use a ubuntu server edition to do network logon on several windows vista boxes? [11:48] DRebellion: does the final entry in dmesg represent a successfully finished boot? [11:48] I copied with dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-package in term and now how do I install all of my old packages. I used sudo dpkg --get-selections < /home/$USER/Desktop/my-package and I just get a read out. [11:48] so, I had a hard reboot from Windows, and now Wubi/Ubuntu 8.04 goes to busybox after grub. is there a way to recover from this? [11:48] lusule: what problem is that? [11:48] nickolaus: how about --set-selections [11:48] nickolaus: get-selections to get the selections, set-selections to _set_ the selections [11:48] jmunro, it depends what you define as booted. [11:49] peppo, what's the error? [11:49] DRebellion: to a useable desktop (login is automatic) [11:50] jmunro, write a script that writes a message to the system log, and then have it run as the last item of your session. [11:50] i added /bin/bash to ~/.tcshrc [11:50] until the admin changes in /etc/passwd [11:50] curlftpfs/ubuntu7.10 - are there issus with the libs? curlftpfs: Installiert:0.9.1-1 libcurl3: Installiert:7.16.4-2ubuntu1 [11:51] DRebellion: that is a good suggestion, how do I write a message to the system log? [11:51] jmunro, I don't know. [11:51] curlftp doesn't work for me correctly. even destroys files when saving [11:51] HELP Lexmark Z1320 is supported ? [11:51] msg me please [11:51] DRebellion: thanks, I will investigate [11:51] geirha - my user has become seriously messed up, i can't start programs like terminal and firefox, can't start most new programs at all tbh, gimp works for some reason [11:51] DRebellion, bootup halted after first ubuntu splash and dumped to busybox. no error. however, after a boot into XP and a file system check there, wubi/ubuntu 8.04 works now. [11:51] HELP I want drivers for LExmark Z1320 is supported ??? [11:51] peppo, there you go. [11:52] MSG me please [11:52] there where issus with libcurl :http://curlftpfs.sourceforge.net/ [11:52] can I create a completly internal domain on ubuntu server like homelan.bla.comp1 or something similar? [11:52] TemplePrime, sure [11:52] but libs to me seem to be o.k. in 7.10 [11:53] chrisfromgreece: go search www.openprinting.org [11:53] DRebellion, how would I do it? [11:53] TemplePrime, huh? [11:54] TemplePrime, oh, right. Set up a DNS server. [11:54] TemplePrime, like BIND [11:54] DRebellion, problem is I got a dynamic IP [11:54] TemplePrime, you said it was internal [11:55] DRebellion, well, yeah, it is internal, but I want it sometimes to access the net from some network [11:55] TemplePrime: are we talking domain as in the usual sense, or are we talking windows domains? [11:55] hyperair, well, I would like to enforce a more strict policy on a windows vista by a domain logon ... [11:55] it doesn't seem to be installing. [11:56] how can i see the ports that my app is using? [11:56] TemplePrime: go read up about samba. it can be done. i'm not sure how [11:56] geirha, i guess you have no clue then :( [11:56] what would be the path to firefox for a safe mode start in 7.10? [11:56] TemplePrime, oh right. You don't want a domain as in DNS. [11:56] JoL: lsof -p [11:56] lusule: that sure is odd. Try logging in as root with "sudo -i" and compare the two users environment with this (switch user1 and user2 with correct usernames): diff -u <(sudo -u user1 bash -l -c 'export') <(sudo -u user2 bash -l -c 'export') [11:58] geirha it doesn't seem to be installing. [11:58] DRebellion, yeah :p [11:58] do I have to restart? [11:58] DRebellion, for other type of domain I have dyndns :p [11:58] TemplePrime, you should make that more clear when you ask. And why are you asking in #ubuntu about windows "domains"? [11:59] nickolaus_: does it return you to the prompt or is it "hanging"? [11:59] Drebellion, some guy told me it can be done with samba :p [11:59] it returns a prompt. [12:00] geirha it returns a prompt but I'm missing installs. [12:00] geirha do I have to restart? [12:00] nickolaus_: no error messages? restart shouldn't be necessary [12:00] geirha no error, just goes to another command prompt. [12:01] geirha [12:01] geirha sudo dpkg --set-selections < /home/nickolaus/Desktop/my-package [12:01] is what I'm typing. [12:01] geirha, i rebooted and again, and this time it seems to be working... [12:02] geirha, i really wish i knew what was going on, but at least it seems to work now >< [12:02] How do I remove the About Ubuntu program in Xubuntu? [12:02] lusule: you're not out of space btw? "df -h" [12:02] geirha, what does that mean? [12:02] what would be the path to firefox for a safe mode start in 7.10? would it be: ~/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -safe-mode ?? [12:03] nickolaus_: that looks correct. You uninstalled a previously installed package, and expect that command to reinstall it right? [12:03] lusule: you get strange problems if your /home or / filesystems are full [12:04] geirha yes [12:04] geirha, ah no, i have plenty of space [12:04] geirha but I'm missing things like vlc and so on. [12:04] Hi :) Anyone know how I can use konversation(irc client) through my isp, which blocks irc traffic? Currently I'm using mibbit, it is a web interface to an irc proxy. But, I want the abilities of the konqueror client, just tunneling through an irc proxy, perhaps. Any suggestions? [12:05] mib_fpxuhr, get a new isp. [12:05] you will need a proxy outside the reach of your ISP or use a different port [12:05] dreb - not possible [12:05] nickolaus_: "grep ^vlc ~/Desktop/my-package ; aptitude search '~i ^vlc$'" << that should show two lines regarding vlc [12:05] mib_fpxuhr, why? you shouldn't put up with them screwing you about. === _saw is now known as saw [12:05] wols - so, you know of any such service? === saw is now known as _saw [12:06] public proxies are useless [12:06] dreb - they are a good deal otherwise, & ther should be a simple solution. Do you have any suggestions about how to accomplish that? [12:07] mib_fpxuhr, do they block a single port or a range of them? [12:08] sinb - don't know - does it matter for a solution? [12:08] if they only block the 6667 port most server use other ports too so yes [12:08] how come echo test \n test2 doesnt work, and shows test n test2 rather than test then test2 on another line? [12:09] help plz , i got a folder on my desktop that has a lock icon on it and i want to delete it but it wont let me , how would i do this? [12:09] sinb - so, I'm interested in freenode, where can I get a list of other ports to try? [12:10] chriswr: gksu nautilus [12:10] usually in the MOTD mib_fpxuhr [12:10] mib_fpxuhr: http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml [12:11] chriswr, careful with that command [12:11] mib_fpxuhr: uhh sorry, no ports there... only servers [12:11] bazhang: k , but it wont show the file that im wanting to delete [12:12] okay here is an interesting one. I try to launch firefox via my GUI and it says I have to close firefox. I try and kill it in firefox and it says no process killed then I try and load it via term and it loads. how do I get it to load without using terminal? [12:12] can't update ubuntu hardy. does somebody has similar problem? [12:12] geirha: why wont it show the file im wanting to delet? [12:13] nickolaus: ps -ef | grep mozilla [12:13] gooody, could you paste sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com [12:13] chriswr, did you try ctrl+h as I suggested right after you asked the first time (and before you said you are running Backtrack) [12:13] nickolaus, what is the path to firefox to launch it in terminal please? [12:13] chriswr: you need to browse to your home directory [12:14] bazhang: for a while [12:14] DistroJockey: yes (this is on my desktop computer btw , backtrack is on my laptop) but nothing came up [12:14] sinbox I just type sudo firefox [12:14] geirha ill try that [12:14] nickolaus: why sudo? [12:14] chriswr: choose filesystem in the left margin, then "home" -> "yourusername" -> "Desktop" [12:15] bazhang: how can i open sources.list? [12:15] krazihrz it doesn't load without the sudo. If I try to load without it I get an error saying that firefox is already running and I have to restart. [12:15] sinbox: just type firefox. "which firefox" will show the full path [12:15] gooody, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste to paste.ubuntu.com (not here) [12:15] geirha: allright , that got it , thnx a lot [12:15] D'oh! thanks nickolaus [12:15] Any other suggestions for IRC proxy servers that I can access through http ports & will transfer my konqueror irc traffic to correct irc ports? [12:15] nickolaus: then you need to find that process and kill it [12:16] nickolaus: either that or a lock file somewhere [12:16] nickolaus : ps -ef | grep firefox [12:16] this is a deadly serious question. and i want a definitive answer, in fact i DEMAND one. when are the current maintainers going to be shown the door ? there are plenty of capable people who want to help fix the current disaster area that is hardy. they are being denied access, to protect the reputations of the current "maintainers" [12:16] gordboy, that is offtopic here [12:17] what a make for driver for amd_pata loading before ubuntu lost HDA ? [12:17] sinbox what? [12:17] bazhang: like hell it is. it is the most on-topic question in the whole of *buntu [12:17] nickolaus: that's because the firefox profile is now owned by root, so after running it with sudo once, you can't run it without sudo again [12:17] gordboy: it is and please join #ubuntu-offtopic [12:17] gnomefreak: if you can't or won't answer, then keep silent [12:17] krazihrz i can't find a firefox running and ps -ef | grep firefox gives me 1000 8506 8043 0 07:16 pts/0 00:00:00 grep firefox [12:18] nickolaus: "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.mozilla" should make it run without sudo again though [12:19] yeah that's nice and grown up. now answer the question, before you really make idiots of yourselves [12:19] geirha thank you! I love you. [12:19] !offtopic | gordboy [12:19] gordboy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[12:20] AdvoWork: try with echo -e [12:20] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31695/ [12:21] AdvoWork: also, make sure you quote the string: echo -e "line1\nline2" [12:21] geirha echo -e test \n test2 shows: test n test2 [12:21] ahh ok, it works now you said that [12:21] AdvoWork: quote the string. [12:21] cheers [12:21] AdvoWork, this does what you want (I think): echo test ; echo test2 [12:22] gnomefreak: you have exceeded your authority in this channel. not that you ever had any real authority. you are part of the problem, and you have confirmed what a lot of people are now saying about the whole ubuntu project, whose reputation is now disappearing into the gutter [12:22] damnit [12:22] nice one [12:23] does the new firefox update mean the last one was buggy? [12:23] thanks jpds i was there [12:23] gnomefreak: Just helping out. ;-) [12:23] jpds: thanks [12:23] hypn0: probably. [12:24] hypn0, usually security related updates [12:24] hi, I'm trying to mount a USB disk with VFAT FS but mount tells me "Operation not supported" ... Any ideas what the reason could be? thanks! [12:24] jpds: ok you win [12:24] lol [12:25] DistroJockey: burhan there wasn't a new release from firefox, just a new ubuntu update it looks like [12:25] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31695/ [12:25] hypn0: its a bug fix probably. [12:26] axel_s: are you sure you are accessing the correct device node? double check with the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [12:26] gooody, could you pastebin output of sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade in paste.ubuntu.com please [12:27] I have a wierd but maybe obvious networking problem if anyone is able to lend an ear? [12:27] !ask | Jon__ [12:27] Jon__: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:28] fairly recently, ping, ssh, rlogin has stopped working to a few machines on the network from my machine only [12:28] however, the dns name is resolved, traceroute works..... [12:28] <_dennister> g'morning channel...is anyone using the envy drivers yet for legacy nvidia cards? [12:28] and other machines see and can login fine [12:28] _dennister, you mean envyng-gtk? [12:28] _dennister: i tryed it but it f***ed my system [12:28] <_dennister> more importantly, how well is it working? [12:28] btw Im not using any firewalls on my ubuntu box [12:28] !anyone | _dennister [12:28] _dennister: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [12:28] <_dennister> bazhang: i guess so [12:29] geirha, seems all is correct: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7d0913c [12:29] _dennister: just install nvidia-legacy (or what ever the name is) [12:29] nvidia-glx-new [12:29] remoteCTR1: not for legacy [12:29] <_dennister> i just tried the proprietary nvdia driver, resolution is only 800x600 and can't go higher...with nv driver it was 1500 x? [12:30] even better just activate the checkbox in hardware [12:30] geirha, hmm, I had to specify -t ntfs with mount [12:30] geirha, strangely it tried to mount as reiser... [12:30] _dennister: did you download them from the homepage or how did you isntall them? [12:30] I did an update (foolishly following backports) this morning, and I've lost my network devices since restarting! No eth0 or ath0 or wifi0. I've tried a couple of known good kernels, but the same result. Nothing obvious in dmesg that I can see. [12:30] _dennister: you need to run the script to remove the kernel restricted modules the script built [12:31] when running a bash script, can you not verbose whats going on? [12:31] _dennister: i dont remember the flag to do it though [12:31] <_dennister> i installed it by marking the checkbox...although that didn't work too well, so i changed the xorg.conf file from 'nv' to 'nvidia', rebooted, and it is active [12:31] AdvoWork: -v [12:31] AdvoWork: yes, try the -x switch [12:31] ERM [12:31] hai guys [12:32] anyone any ideas on my ping fails but dns lookup works problem? [12:32] is there a way to repair a network like in xp for ubuntu? [12:32] axel_s: check if you have an entry with that device node in /etc/fstab === bash3ll is now known as _bash3ll_ [12:32] _dennister: so nvidia-glx-new only gave you 800x600? [12:32] --verbose is always a failsafe [12:33] remoteCTR1: he cant use those [12:33] _dennister: how did you try to change the resolution? [12:33] gnomefreak: why not?

[12:42] krazihrz, sarcasm rarely works in text very well ;P [12:44] krazihrz, especially if you don't direct your reply [12:44] sipior so i can do: sed -f 1st.txt yet i dont know the regular expression for it, as normally i use vims :%s/''/null/g [12:44] DistroJockey: I didn't want to make anyone feel bad, i'm the subtle warrior [12:45] AdvoWork: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < filename should do it, i believe [12:45] ok, so I have a networking problem with my ubuntu box, fairly recently I have not been able to ping, rlogin, ssh or in any way connect to a few select machines on our LAN with the rest working fine, but a traceroute runs and the dns name is resolved fine. on these machines nslookup reports a 'non authoritative' answer but this is also reported on other machines I can connect to fine so probably doesn't mean much. no firewalls running .....any thoug [12:45] hts? [12:45] howdy all [12:45] i am on gnome here, and using amarok, but can it rip a cd?

[12:47] sudo update-rc.d modem-startup default - how can i do this in ubuntu 8.04 ? [12:47] _dennister: i think that is legacy but not really sure on the gts/pro [12:47] Jon__: did you reboot the interconnection devices? It may help [12:47] Jon__: also, are you sure the target machines are running sshd? do you get a "connection refused" error?

[12:48] ActionParsnip, thanks [12:48] Anyone know why im getting litle clicks out of my laptop speakers when playing music? or for that matter anything? [12:48] sipior i dont think that did anything, well it didnt seem to replace '' with null :/ [12:49] I have tried completely resetting iptables, ufw is turned off, and the machine goes through the same route other machines do that have no problems. I think it must have come in after an update as it was working problem free previously... [12:49] about samba: my windows machine asks for a password when connecting to my linux/samba machine... but my username and password of the linux machine don't work [12:49] hi all [12:49] are my laptop speakers broken? [12:49] Jon__: id reboot whatever is in the middle controlling the routing [12:49] is some1 experienced in KDE4 ? [12:49] AdvoWork: works on my system just fine. it dumped a fair bit to the terminal, did it not? [12:49] plz qry me [12:50] cchance: does it click when you turn the volume down in software. [12:50] no if its muted it wont play at all [12:50] lordchavez: wassup? [12:50] cchance: not muted, just lower it [12:50] <_dennister> gnomefreak: so it's the fault of checking the box on the hardware driver's dialog...it said legacy, but perhaps it should be the newer one, non-legacy? or it just doesn't know this card well enough? [12:50] or i mean if its on last audio level it wont do it [12:51] i got it on the third one and i hear it [12:51] in preferences there used to be a tool call "sharing" where i could configure samba service... [12:51] _dennister: no its the drivers you got from nvidia you need to find out the command from the run script you downloaded from nvidia to get rid of the modules it built [12:51] well the connection goes through a pretty standard 48 port switch which we have loads of in the company, rebooting it isnt really an option as there are tons of other machines on it. Id dont understand why it is so specific to just a few machines on the network? [12:52] sipior dumped some stuff to the terminal, but original line is: INSERT INTO table VALUE (1,'test','','','','','','','test2',2); after i run that command, it shows: INSERT INTO table VALUE (1,'test','','','','','','','test2',2); still and hasnt replaced '' [12:52] <_dennister> I've had this same problem, not getting high enough resolutions, with other pc's I've rebuilt....resulting in 'nv' driver workiing better than proprietary [12:52] cchance: sounds like your volumes are too high [12:52] ActionParsnip: im playing music with amarok right now and that al i hear. My system startup sound is gone as well [12:52] ActionParsnip: i want to have the widgets only in the dashboard not on screen all the time [12:52] ActionParsnip: doubt it [12:52] ActionParsnip: it used to play before now i dont know whats going on [12:52] AdvoWork: could you type the line exactly as you typed it at the terminal? [12:52] !kde4 | lordchavez [12:52] but overall, that would mean rebooting the master bigiron switch that controls the entire production network..dont think they would be happy if I rebooted that :) [12:52] lordchavez: 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 [12:53] ActionParsnip: kde yeah?! [12:53] ActionParsnip: kde 4yeah?! [12:53] <_dennister> gnomefreak: so how do I "find out the command from the run script you downloaded from nvidia to get rid of the modules it built" [12:53] according to the walkthrough on printing you linked, i should be able to choose 'wireless setup wizard' from the printer setup menu - i don't seem to have this option :( [12:53] sorry, but my connection broke.. anyone replied to my samba questions? [12:53] dont need the packages [12:53] sipior yeah its: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < /var/dir/temp/testreplace/1.txt [12:53] so nothing obvious comes to mind? im pretty confident its not an infrastructure thing, I think its something to do with my ubuntu box [12:53] lordchavez: yeah for kde4 [12:54] cchance: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770213 [12:54] ok [12:54] ActionParsnip: what do u want to tell me? [12:55] AdvoWork: and that didn't put the corrected version on the terminal? mind, that won't change the file itself, you'll want to save the results via redirection. [12:55] lordchavez: you need to go into kubuntu-kde4 [12:55] AdvoWork: actually, could you just pastebin the whole terminal session? that would simpler, i think. [12:55] anyone have any ideas for what to do with a process that refuses to die? [12:55] lordchavez: this is ubuntu not kubuntu-kde4 [12:55] cyphase: kill it's parent [12:55] i got ubuntu installed [12:56] omg cya [12:56] Gillpy_: no parent [12:56] *its [12:56] cyphase: kill -9 [12:56] hem [12:56] :/ [12:56] sipior it did: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < /var/dir/temp/testreplace/1.txt dumped: INSERT INTO table VALUE (1,'test','','','','','','','test2',2); [12:56] ActionParsnip: tried that [12:56] i did sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [12:56] cyphase: is it a zombie [12:56] starts a whole lotta stuff but says network down [12:56] O.o [12:56] AdvoWork: could you pastebin the contents of the file, and the terminal session? [12:56] Gillpy_: it's taking up a lot of processing power [12:57] Gillpy_: or else i wouldn't care [12:57] bishybashy: check your network config [12:57] i made it automatic [12:57] ActionParsnip: i oubt its anything to do with the cpu or any of that because it was woring just fine last week [12:57] cyphase, tried the following: sudo killall program-name [12:57] sipior think its ok, for some reason the '' werent copying properly, but now, it outputs fine, but doesnt save the contents? can i save it back in the same file? [12:57] bishybashy: check connections [12:57] DistroJockey: tried that [12:57] where/how ? [12:58] bishybashy: ifconfig or iwconfig if its wireless [12:58] <_dennister> i hate this xorg in hardy :( [12:58] cyphase, what process is it? [12:58] wired [12:58] AdvoWork: no, save to a new file, then move it to where you want. so: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < input > ouput [12:58] i have done that [12:58] cyphase: you can't kill zombies unless you kill their parent or reboot. It will have a Z next to it in top() if it is a zombie [12:58] hello [12:58] do you want the output? [12:58] bishybashy: please [12:58] DistroJockey: totem [12:58] sipior is there any reason why i cant use the same file though?

[13:10] what card(s), cchance? [13:10] bishybashy: is it wired or wireless?

[13:16] bishybashy: get what? [13:17] that gksu gedit comand [13:17] bishybashy: you need to run terminal and type it [13:18] ActionParsnip: So one last time, boot ubuntu, open terminal type gksu gedit? then what 2 commands [13:19] how do i force my system down? I just told it to reboot 3 minutes ago and im still here [13:19] bishybashy: after gedit runs, open /etc/network/interfaces and add those 2 lines [13:19] bishybashy: then save and exit [13:19] ccooke: sudo shutdown -t now [13:19] Can anyone advise me on how to install a hardware accelerated graphics driver for intel?

[13:35] no i am using router [13:35] bishybashy, you said you need to repair it in Windows, so I'm guessing you have a slow DHCP server. Maybe the following? sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0 [13:35] you using Internet connections sharing or what [13:35] so your router is set ton DHCP? [13:35] its automatic dhcp [13:36] o.O [13:36] and theres no router firewall rules that could be causing this?

I've tried: aticonfig --dtop=horizontal,reverse --overlay-on=1 but no avail, any ideas ? [13:36] xp is one beast linux another [13:37] linux set the NIC to roamin [13:37] i made it non-roamin [13:37] you can bypass that [13:38] and it accepts the correct IP same as you would get on xp? [13:38] huh u mean my ipconfig on xp? [13:38] and so on with subnetmask and dnd [13:38] I mean your router assigns a IP to xp [13:39] if on linux is your on same machine you shoukld get same UIP [13:39] they are on the same machine [13:39] :0 [13:39] and your getting same IP [13:40] on both xpp and linux??

[13:46] sia lalaki awewe [13:46] bishybashy, i haven't heard of SiS ethernet cards not being supported by linux... do you have any eth0 or anything appearing in ifconfig's output? [13:46] bishybashy IT has nothing to do with the card it as to do with way your configuring it [13:46] Im using ati drivers with AIGLX. IT just seems to run slow :( [13:46] x3, if you notice the ifconfig output, there is no eth0, eth1, ath0, wlan0 or whatever [13:47] x3: there is only lo [13:47] i wanna ask... if there's any suitable printer for ubuntu? [13:47] x3: do you udnerstand what that means? [13:47] x3: linux did not detect any network cards/interfaces [13:47] DistroJockey: thank you [13:47] flourish, you're welcome [13:47] x3: that is why there is only lo, which is the loopback device [13:47] hmmm [13:47] hyperair [13:47] could it be hardware? [13:47] .... [13:48] bishybashy, could be, but if windows detects it then probably not. [13:48] Hello what's new ?

[13:48] hyperhair since bishybashy has manually rec onfigured the NIC on linux that shoudlnt be the error [13:49] so linux is not accepying whatever hes done [13:49] and stopped seeing the card in that case [13:49] bishybashy, this is strange. i've got an SiS900 card too and it works [13:49] it says network is enabled but i can't other pcs on network [13:49] O.o [13:49] okay, well, thanks anyways. i guess my inquery doesn't deserve a response [13:50] i can on xp though [13:50] bishybashy, did eth0 appear when you inserted the new card? [13:50] I recon in bishybashy's case this is a issue of PEBKAC [13:50] I recon in bishybashy's case this is a issue of PEBKAC [13:50] x3: what is PEBKAC?

[14:43] Adondai: check documents and setting\username\local setting\temp and temporary internet files [14:43] Adondai: you can delete the files in there [14:43] Adondai, defrag windows before installing ubuntu is a good idea and let the ubuntu installer install grub at MBR. 10 gigs is good [14:43] as well as %windir%\system32\logfile [14:44] Hardy Nautilus keeps crashing while i'm working on SSH filesystems - any idea how i can debug?

[14:58] !fsck | smokewon [14:58] smokewon: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [14:58] actionparsnip, also true, however everything is actually far more productive once you get in the habit of just using the start menu search [14:59] smokewon: I would do a manual fsck from a live CD [14:59] actionparsnip, FAR more productive then XP ever was... ;) [14:59] soundray ah ok, thanks for the info [14:59] how do I change the ~/.pg/deluge/deluge-0.5/plugins/FlexRSS$ in my command line to show only FlexRSS ? [14:59] Adondai: i dony use either, I only use xp on my lappy. Ive been using linux too long. [14:59] Adondai: my linux system is 1.5Gb and does the same and more than Vista [15:00] smokewon: not to prevent you from reading 'man fsck', but -y is an option that you want to set [15:00] ok tnx [15:00] Adondai: plus aero looks realy tacky and cheap. like an afterthought [15:00] actionparsnip, I just dont think vista deserves the hatred, ive been playing with ubuntu (through wubu for a couple days and yea, i love linux to.. its fun, fast etc... however there are plenty of things I find better in vista, just as there are things i find better in ubuntu [15:00] Does the garmin bluetooth gps receiver work with ubuntu? [15:00] Have I logged on to #vistabashing by mistake? [15:01] !gps [15:01] Street mapping and GPS navigation software available for Ubuntu includes !GpsDrive (GTK, raster maps, free), !Roadnav (GTK, free vector maps from Tiger and OSM, free), !GoogleEarth (Qt, proprietary vector maps, proprietary) [15:01] actionparsnip, disagree on THAT one! hahaha... i think aero is great... [15:01] but hey thats personaly preference [15:01] Does any bluetooth gps receiver work with ubuntu? [15:01] Adondai: ive seen so much better. It looks nasty. I just like a slick effective system. Vista feels like running through mud [15:01] sd: yes, BT GPSs communicate serially with Ubuntu. You need gpsd or similar [15:02] soundray: I am looking at buying one. Not there yet. Just to know whether they work or not. [15:02] soundray: Do most/all/some work? You have some experience? [15:02] soundray: Have a link. [15:03] soundray: Its such a sick ritual looking at shabby sites to see if the best gadgets (after doing ALL that work looking at reviews to pick the best one) work in ubuntu [15:03] soundray: Hello? [15:03] sd: Garmin devices have their own protocol, which is supported, but I don't think it's open like NMEA is. You may be better off with a generic device by Holux or Globalsat [15:03] ActionParsnip, again I think a lot of it is perception. Vista sure runs faster then my xp machine at home on similar hardware... and as i said... I have yet to see anyone else create something as useful as the integrated search implemented across vista... it doesnt get mentioned much but it is the thing i miss the most on any other OS [15:04] sd: have a bit of patience. Not everybody types staccato like you do [15:04] Adondai: if you use the CLI you get that anyhoo [15:04] * sd apologises. [15:04] cli? === shevek is now known as Guest93256 [15:04] Adondai: command line interface [15:05] soundray: But you did say that the garmin bluetooth receiver would work, right? [15:05] Adondai: just type the command you wanna run and *poof* [15:05] Adondai: you can even tab complete [15:05] actionparsnip haha, not for noobs like me [15:05] sd: you can petition manufacturers to provide information on Linux support, or at least open up their specs [15:05] Adondai: you'll learn [15:05] soundray: I just have one lifetime to live and only so much money for the MEGAcorps. [15:05] Adondai: i just cant understand a 6Gb install. Its mind boggling [15:05] sd: I haven't tried, but I know that my serially connected eTrex works with either GARMIN or NMEA protocols [15:06] sd: and my GlobalSat BT-338 works with NMEA [15:06] Adondai: you could always reinstall vista on a smaller partition to leave a large unassigned space for Linux [15:06] sd: another reason not to buy Garmin [15:06] IrCYop: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-399078.html [15:06] ActionParsnip, yeah there is a lot of extra crap... however someone did the sums and vista has the smallest kernel out of windows, linux and mac os [15:07] Adondai: Windows98 tiny is fairly small. 8Mb desktop is pretty sweet [15:07] How can I constantly change the default size of my GNOME Terminal? [15:07] ActionParsnip, i kinda wanna leave vista... ive reinstalled 3 times this month already due to hardware failure and not looking forward to it again [15:07] ActionParsnip, Adondai: can you take your offtopic chat elsewhere please? #ubuntu-offtopic would be fine [15:07] then you should have planned your partitions [15:07] ok man [15:07] anyhoo food time for me [15:07] werrd [15:07] amikrop: constantly? [15:07] Adondai, lulz... linux kernel can be configured to like ultra small size... it runs on routers with like 4mb ram and 8mb flash [15:08] soundray: I want to change the default size of it. [15:08] i stand corrected :) [15:08] The size that it comes with, when it is launched. [15:08] soundray: thank you. You have been great. Either the OS guys figure out ways to give us extra 100years to make sense of all the shabby documentation or they set retired spies to steal proprietary standards info. [15:08] amikrop: you mean permanently? [15:08] yes, sorry [15:08] amikrop: edit the current profile [15:08] ActionParsnip, i should have indeed. Im gonna try this first, if it all does pear shaped ill complete reinstall [15:09] <_2> what kind of switches would one normally use to just look for insecurities with nmap ? -sT -sR what else ? [15:09] -rTfM [15:09] soundray: I 've tried to, but didn't find a setting there. [15:09] sd: you shouldn't go on about "shabby documentation" all the time when you're talking about Free/Open Source software. Source code is the most pristine documentation you can have [15:10] soundray: Like you can look through the source if you want to know where the friggin checkbox is. [15:10] amikrop: it's right in the middle of the General tab [15:10] how do i record a youtube video to a video file on my harddisk ? [15:10] hi [15:10] i need help [15:10] im using ubuntu [15:10] sd: Enough of the sounding off. Have you got any more support issues? [15:11] beli, No matter what I do it unselects the usb headset speaker [15:11] and i setup netstat, xmms from synaptic manager [15:11] tim167, you don't record it, thats a misconception [15:11] but i cant find where they are ? [15:11] tim167: select the download link [15:11] yuhaqya: netstat should be installed by default, and it's a command-ilne tool. [15:11] soundray: I can't see it. [15:11] deleted panel short time ago and found it but discovered the many thing u can add sooooooooooooooooooooooo cool [15:11] soundray: Above "Profile Icon"? [15:12] xmms you should be able to start by pressing Alt-F2 and typing xmms, or finding it Applications -> Sound and Video [15:12] amikrop: I can't read it out to you, sorry [15:12] soundray: Never mind. [15:12] soundray: Or below it? [15:12] amikrop: above [15:12] soundray: You mean "use the system fixed width font"? [15:12] soundray: is there such thing as a download link on youtube pages ? [15:12] tim167, you could use youtube.tdjc.be and then just download with your normal browser [15:12] tim167: not on all of them [15:12] anyone in here [15:13] amikrop: no, that you have to untick before you can modify the font [15:13] ProN0ob: ok ill try that thanks [15:13] amikrop: doesn't appear to be an option for it. You could edit the menu-entry for it to run "gnome-terminal --geometry 80x10" instead of just "gnome-terminal" (80x10 gives default width with 10 lines) [15:13] tim167, there are lots of pages which turn a youtube link into a download link [15:13] soundray: I am not talking about the font, I am talking about the window size of the terminal. [15:14] geirha: ok, then. thanks. [15:14] hi there [15:14] tim167, file will be flv, you might have problems playing that, try vlc [15:14] i've installed ubuntu 8.04 onmy laptop, but wifi can't work as well [15:14] amikrop: okay, geirha's advice should work there [15:14] markand have you checked your restricted drivers?

[15:15] geirha: What argument can I pass gnome-terminal to open it with a specific profile? [15:16] markand, if you go to system, administration, hardware drivers do you see anything in there [15:16] amikrop: gnome-terminal --help will list the possible options [15:16] I'll check, i'm on windows [15:16] reboot on ubuntu [15:16] brb [15:16] geirha: ok, thanks [15:16] amikrop: --window-with-profile Profilename (from man gnome-terminal) === tom^ is now known as Sisco_ [15:18] with a bash script, is there a way to pause it until user entry?

As well as removing the old windows entry in grub [15:50] hmm [15:50] %s/start mapping/start address [15:50] cheex: you must have a proxy set [15:50] I have a server with dual raid controllers attached to a SAN enclosures. This raid controllers are for redundancy so both of them have the same configuration. The problem now is that each raid array get to devices pointing to it. I.e RAID 5 is attached as both sdb and sdd. How should this be configured in the OS. Should I use LVM or use software RAID to create a RAID 0 of the to device nodes? [15:50] soundray: do you mean set in firefox? [15:51] cheex: no, probably in the environment. Do a 'env | grep -i proxy' to check [15:51] gardar: you only need to change the "# groot=(hdx,y)" (do not remove the comment) And then run "sudo update-grub" and all ubuntu-entries will get that root option [15:51] soundray: that command returns nothing [15:52] cheex: then I'm wrong, sorry [15:52] soundray: ok :( [15:53] geirha, can I remove entries from old kernels too? As I always just boot the latest one [15:53] cheex. do you have any addons installed in firefox? [15:54] gardar: best way to do that is uninstall the older kernels. When you uninstall a kernel, the kernel entry is automatically removed from the grub menu. Search for packages starting with linux-image- [15:54] gardar : it is good to keep two latest kernels other you can delete from synaptic typing in search box linux-image and select kernels with lower number [15:54] channeling: i have flashblock. But the problem occurs throughout all GUI based browsers that I have installed. [15:54] gardar: and if you're not gonna use the kernel, there's no need having it take up space [15:55] ok, great, thanks geirha and zvacet [15:55] gardar :np [15:55] hello [15:56] what is kernel [15:56] !kernel [15:56] 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 [15:56] !kernel | sattu_ [15:56] sattu_: please see above [15:57] dual monitor question [15:57] I have generic kernels installed as well as 386 kernels...

[16:03] Gilnim, not quite sure what is wrong, thouhgt it was maby configured to only accept local connections [16:03] now... for default player in firefox [16:03] blockhd, I think you need to remove totem firefox plugin and then the vlc one will be autumatically chosen [16:03] gardar, my scrolling is extremely slow, that's about it... but its like that in every application [16:04] dethray, what do you mean by scrolling? like scrolling webpages?

Can you install xserver on the server edition? [16:09] gardar, I think it might be the window decorations [16:09] oh boy.. the package that conflicts with kde-window-manager has screwed up my apt-get so i may not remove or install anything, so i may not remove network-manager which conflicts with wicd.... [16:09] [16:09] How do i solve this? kde-window-manager has caused a global package conflict that renders apt-get useless [16:09] dethray, are you using emerald?

I want to know about some of the important configuration files and what they do and stuff [16:27] acrobat reader 8: install the repositories from mediaubuntu [16:27] |TheBarold|: try "ps ax | grep privoxy" [16:27] kavok: I did that [16:28] stylin_java_man: whats the problem? [16:28] kippy: what about google? just ask for the filename [16:29] I installed the repositories, and the app showed up in my main menu, but firefox3 will not bring it up [16:29] I can not find vmware server in synaptic not at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ is this something new [16:29] kippy: handy hint - work out how to install qemu and install a build of Ubuntu into that [16:29] morbyte, yeah that is good option, but its not that something is wrong with the system. It just interests me to play around, just need a bit starting up guidance [16:29] <`ntemis> mp-bios bug 8254 timer not connected to io-apic is it a bios bug?

[16:32] g'day [16:32] always check to see if apt has the package available before compiling .tar.gz [16:32] lore20__, I can't burn lower than 4x [16:32] anyone have any idea why firefox might be able to talk to the net, but anything that opens up a tcp socket form console can't? [16:32] you may really have bad files [16:32] I lub my wobby windows [16:32] lore20__, no I checked the md5 and its ok [16:32] and tbh i think compiling virtualbox is a really really bad idea!

[16:33] ok, glad it's fixed dethray [16:33] nope, i have looked in all the places i know that are obvious [16:33] irihi : system>preferences>keyboard [16:33] firefox is clear of proxy settings, and i can't see a firewall running [16:34] Appreciate the help gardar [16:34] <|TheBarold|> raggi: : are you wired or wifi? [16:34] irihi : if that is what you ask for [16:34] lore20__, yes, I burned 3 of them at the lowest speed possible and the integrity check says all 3 have errors [16:34] Can I run a firefox without installing Xfce, Kde or Gnome [16:34] |TheBarold|: i can try both, but the wireless is more reliable [16:35] it's one of those laptops wiht an rtl8169 that doesn't work well under the current linux builds [16:35] Solved. I had to unset the PROMPT_COMMAND and then I could use the regular xterm escape sequence to set the title [16:35] zvacet: i have done that before, but now, no keyboard layout is selected, and i cant select one there [16:35] Jan|, if you try to continue installation? [16:35] however, i'm really trying to determine the method by which FF gets a socket, and other apps can't [16:35] it feels like filth, but i've never seen such a thing for this OS [16:36] irihi : you can not use add option?

[16:41] I'm not that creative ;) [16:42] <|TheBarold|> dethray: google for wavs sounds [16:42] (TheBarold) -- yes i do . and ive tried using different movie players.

On my iBook G4 hardware sensor applet used to work. Now it's impossible to find sensors even after following the Feisty guide on ubuntuguides. Any ideas on that? [16:43] zvacet, the bittorrent hash check test passed... i'm now seeding the file [16:43] is your router dropping ICMP? [16:43] <|TheBarold|> raggi: could it be in the modem itself [16:43] no, ICMP works [16:43] zvacet, so its not the integrity of the ISO [16:43] is it cable or adsl? [16:43] |TheBarold|: no, i'm talking to oyu over that [16:44] raggi, have you try to disable iptables? [16:44] and there's nothing abnormal here [16:44] (TheBarold) i hadn't tried it . . . installing now. [16:44] raggi: cable or adsl? [16:44] adsl [16:44] that's not the issue [16:44] 1. wrong layer [16:44] 2. it's working [16:44] raggi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:44] raggi: wrong layer? [16:44] 3. apps from that machine even work [16:44] eth01: that *cannot* be the issue [16:44] i jsut installed compiz and now when i log in nautilus loads the closes over and over again and avant doesnt work and i still cant get 3d effects? [16:45] raggi: HAVE you tried pinging the IP address of your modem? [16:45] i've proven that already, in standard debugging procedures [16:45] yes, of course that works [16:45] dns even works [16:45] raggi: you cannot debug any adsl modems afaik [16:45] as does UDP [16:45] if i buy a dell laptop and find that the wireless card doesn't want to work, can i just order one later that is known to work and use it instead? [16:45] eth01: i'm debugging my issue [16:45] whta: yes [16:45] raggi: solving your issue. [16:45] fine [16:46] whta: you can exchange the wlan usualy its mini-pci [16:46] im not getting any sound in flash anymore after upgrading to flash 10 and it appears to be freezing.. how can i fix this or revert to flash 9 [16:46] raggi: i don't understand the problem tbh. i've not read your original prob. [16:46] ah, really?! [16:46] hola [16:46] eth01: firefox can talk to sites, as can ruby [16:46] but telnet / ssh / netcat can't [16:46] anything i'm launching from the console is refusing to talk over TCP [16:47] there's no proxy, no connectivity issue [16:47] no routing issue [16:47] ICMP proves lower layers are ok, as does the firefox working [16:47] (TheBarold) -- its working . . . thank you [16:47] #ubuntu [16:47] i jsut installed compiz and now when i log in nautilus loads the closes over and over again and avant doesnt work and i still cant get 3d effects anyone know what the problem is?

[16:48] |TheBarold|: quick way to disable iptables, i haven't used anything but pf in years [16:48] hello, I'd like to buy a laptop with Unbuntu, any recommendation for a good laptop model/brand running ubuntu ? [16:48] Alex [16:49] every brand can run ubuntu [16:49] i'm burning ubuntu 64 bit at the lowest speed possible, this is the last time [16:49] its your choice [16:49] what is support like for ATI cards in ubuntu? about the same as nvidia? [16:49] Jan|, it may be a cd reader/burner problem [16:49] what you ened [16:49] eth01: can do, what's your expectation? [16:49] AlexCONRAD -- Dell xps with ubuntu [16:49] Jan| : why do you need 64 [16:50] jedimind: depends what you wanna do? [16:50] minion35: yeah, I say dell has some unbuntu now... but I heard that on the exact same configuration, the linux version is more expensive than the windows one... :? [16:50] nixnoob: just trying to decide if i should get an ati card or nvidia card on this laptop [16:50] i have a laptop w/ nvidia now - but someone recommended ati [16:50] AlexCONRAD -- buy a p.c and get it os free . . then download ubuntu and install [16:51] jedimind: They're a fool! [16:51] is it possible to serialize file copy on nautilus ? (like copying folders to an external hd not in parallel but folder after folder) [16:51] EvilDennisR: is it that bad? [16:51] zvacet, because I can run it ? [16:51] jedimind: personally I would go with Nvidia, I find the drivers to be more stable, however the ATI drivers are begining to shape up quite nicely [16:51] hurr [16:51] minion35: i'd like to have some recommendation regarding the pc (regarding hardware compatibility mostly) [16:51] jedimind -- ati in my opinion are useless. [16:51] my only concern is that nvidia is closed source, where as ati opened up their drivers [16:51] ok, seriously wtf, even apt works [16:51] :'( [16:51] mp4 rhythembox help?? [16:52] what's the apt-get for xmms? [16:52] what if i dont have a choice? or if the choice is built-in Intel chipset of some sorts, or ATI (in the case of dell studio lineup) [16:52] would i have issues with the ATI card ? [16:52] jedimind: well if opensource is a must then go with ATI, there are opensource nvidia drivers but they dont work on newer cards [16:52] jedimind: Ati startes to have a nice opensource driver, developped with Data from AMD. It will be introduced in Ubuntu with the next release. [16:52] AlexCONRAD -- hp are good and have ubuntu support. thats what i run and it works really well . . . everything supported [16:52] Jan| : do you mean because of ram [16:53] FreddyGonzo: that sounds heavenly compared to nvidia support thus far that ive had [16:53] by next release you mean 8.10 ? [16:53] Finally, that's good news FreddyGonzo [16:53] newk: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-14242.html [16:53] minion35: thanks for the tip. I heard lenovo were good laptops too, any experience? [16:53] whats the super button? [16:54] windows button [16:54] jedimind: nvidia or intel currently is less headaches although ati/amd is long promising the open sourcing of it's drivers [16:54] windows button [16:54] zvacet, 64bit cpu, why run 32 bit ? I've got 2GB of RAM also... [16:54] jedimind: I have a x1250 ati here and a geforce 7600. Both drivers have their liitle bugs, but both are running quiet good with the restricted ati/nvidia driver [16:54] hi all === arief_hy is now known as cow_pngen^Zu2 [16:54] Jan|: You'll only notice a performance increase if your machine has >4G ram [16:54] space question please [16:54] FreddyGonzo: restricted? meaning what? limited 3d support or something? [16:54] Jan|: >=4G [16:54] can you run compiz etc just fine ? [16:55] I can't use the restricted ones.. :( [16:55] jedimind: compiz works with ATI [16:55] when i try to load avant i just see a blip and nothing else in the upper left corner but ps -x says its running [16:55] jedimind: Meaning, that I use the closed source drivers from ati and nvidia [16:55] i have 12 Gb drive with winxp installed . what space should i cut for ubuntu ? [16:55] ah [16:55] AlexCONRAD -- lenovo are ok . . . very good all rounders . . . have you thought about asus? [16:55] 12gb ameo. :P [16:55] well I maybe so but ill still be able to run it, right ? [16:55] my ATI card doesn't have 3d acceleration with dual screens [16:55] Ameo, get a bigger HD :O [16:55] Jan| : you will be fine with 32 [16:55] ..fglrx actually crashes my machine when I use it [16:55] ameo -- delete xp . . . or use the wubi install ang give it 6gb [16:56] dethray,5-7 GB for the root [16:56] dev_n00b: i meant only my C :\ [16:56] i wont be using dual screens - its just a laptop [16:56] i have 200 Gb HD [16:56] Ameo : Ahhhhh [16:56] minion35: I thought about asus as well, I'm afraid it's too geeky / jap (don't ask me to go too much in details with that explanation) [16:56] :) [16:56] what is 'button 1' [16:56] 1337 users here now [16:56] We are 1337... [16:56] ha [16:56] I wouldn't give windows and less than the 12 gigs it has, ameo [16:56] any less [16:57] so going w/ 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 - i wont run into any sever problems, correct? [16:57] EvilDennisR: jedimind ATI driver will not support large texture sizes on most cards and therefor prevents you from having compiz with dual monitors, whereas you can do it just fine on an nvidia card [16:57] severe* [16:57] dethray: so what should i set the root and the swap ? [16:57] is there a way i can tell a specific driver is installed? [16:57] nixnoob: Aye [16:57] i cant get dual monitors to work at all - on my current nvidia card :) but tahts okay ive looked past it [16:57] I have purchased a barebones foxconn ebot savant with mobo model 661FX7SB and would like to know if I am likely to face any issues with an ubuntu 8.04 installation especially with the current Foxconn debacle.

[17:07] Mr_Bad_News, do you have you video card drivers installed? [17:07] krod: could be a bad burn. Try the "check cd for defects" option at the CDs boot menu [17:07] I installed a ubuntu package on my debian once, maybe I should try installing a mac package... [17:07] mac was inherited on the unix time sharing operation system 7 [17:07] lol nixnoob [17:08] energY: It doesn't work that way [17:08] jlewis : read it and if something is not clear come back here and ask [17:08] energY: ubuntu is debian [17:08] geirha, I tried that and that froze as well [17:08] here's a question ... anyone know why my firefox3 would lock up trying to print ? [17:08] anolis: why lol? [17:08] so there not any good os for the ps3 out there [17:08] energY: ..and it wouldn't work because the libraries are different [17:08] so I should just try to reburn it? [17:08] krod: then it's a bad burn. Burn it again at a low speed [17:08] nixnoob, cause i asked him the same thing, about vid drivers [17:08] i thought i did [17:08] what ones do i need? [17:08] in fact, anything i try to print - it just locks up [17:08] Mr_Bad_News: well obviously you dont, what video card do you have? [17:08] Mr_Bad_News, do you have ati or nvidia?

[17:16] _Thorn_: Yes, thats feisty anyways. [17:16] drebellion: any thoughts?

[17:16] jedimind: sorry i dunno i just thought i would try the obvious answer it works usually [17:16] piratelordx, this is a firefox bug, if anything. [17:16] |thebarold| it wil play bu no sound..

[17:18] TiredWolf: I should do something to tell the init.d folder to run the script..? [17:18] THORN what is the version of the gimp you have [17:18] Bubbi: you need to write a compliant script (look at /etc/init.d/skeleton), and then use "update-rc.d" (see the manpage) to activate it [17:18] nixnoob, didn't notice [17:18] <_Thorn_> minion35, 2.2.13 [17:18] that doesnt do anything [17:18] TiredWolf: manpage..? === ApOgEE- is now known as apoo [17:18] Bubbi: or you could just add the command you want to run to /etc/rc.local, as *that* one is the "quick and easy" way to run things on boot [17:18] !man | bubbi [17:18] bubbi: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [17:19] <|TheBarold|> newk: are these already converted? or are you converting them?

[17:20] that didnt do anything either [17:20] no [17:20] Mr_Bad_News, are you in the proper directory? [17:21] it doesnt do anything [17:21] Mr_Bad_News: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:21] yes [17:21] THORN try sudo it . . . [17:21] anolis: i dont know what he did wrong? its not possible [17:21] DRebellion: its not a firefox bug... i have tried the same site with firefox in windows and it loads fine.. also i have tried several other web browsers in linux and they all have the same issue [17:21] piratelordx, well, I have no idea what may be causing it. [17:22] Mr_Bad_News, where is it saved to? is it on your desktop? [17:22] home [17:22] ok, then in a terminal do chmod +x ~/*.run [17:22] DRebellion: any idea on how i would debug this printing issue ? [17:22] i did [17:22] Mr_Bad_News: and if you do ls is the .run file listed there? [17:22] not even sure what logs any errors might be in [17:22] and then do sudo ~/*.run [17:23] Mr_Bad_News, and paste the output of that [17:23] root@boxnet:~# ls -l ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run [17:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 johnny johnny 53989404 2008-07-29 10:22 ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run [17:23] jedimind, I've never printed anything from linux.

[17:24] I wish to installed esound as pulseaudio is not working properly. However, it says that if I install esound, it will remove pulseaudio AND ubuntu-desktop. Does that mean that gnome will be removed? [17:24] i did just a second ago and it was rwx [17:24] install* [17:24] anolis: yes to make something executable you need sudo [17:24] xeno99: no, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage [17:24] jedimind, cups? [17:24] !ubuntu-desktop | xeno99 [17:24] xeno99: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [17:24] nixnoob, not if you own the file, afaik [17:24] does any one have any problems using alien?

[17:24] minion35: my alien always gives me trouble, i feed the bastard and he has nice accomodations in my basement, i dont know what he's bitching about [17:25] wtf [17:25] I can't install ubuntu it keep freezing [17:25] Is there any way of marking an install as 'undoable'. For example, if I install esound but wanted to backtrack back to what it was before, how can I do that ? [17:25] anolis: yea its a precaution you need to use sudo for all driver files i think its from the dev side [17:25] I tried burning the cd twice now [17:25] Mr_Bad_News, try sudo sh [17:25] I had an hard drive with 3 paratitions (each 20Gb) on the MBR I installed XP sp2, on the second paratition I installed ubuntu 8.4... without swap (I have 2GB of ram) & GRUB isn't running so I can't run ubuntu :\ [17:25] i.e. without having to remember that I need to reinstall pulseaudio AND ubuntu-desktop etc [17:25] some one help?

[17:26] raggi: That language is uncalled for here. [17:27] what is going on anolis last time it just worked [17:27] tut tut raggi [17:27] i didnt have to install anything [17:27] yeah, sorry [17:27] cronholio, ask in #ubuntu-devel [17:27] it did save me from attacking the machine...

[17:28] Mr_Bad_News, i've done what i can, try reading the instructions [17:28] ok, so... this keychain [17:28] raggi: Are you done talking yet? [17:28] why owuld the keychain not work in command line? [17:29] What i have to do ? [17:29] EvilDennisR: not unless i take the approach of banning all ubuntu from the building on the grounds that updates can cause every single app that auths over the net to lock up due to some problem [17:29] anyone ? [17:29] which i'd rather not do, it's somewhat drastic [17:29] hi there [17:29] raggi: It sounds like you have a lot of work to do then. Good luck [17:29] raw__: Do a metacity --replace in the terminal, which will reset the effects. [17:29] raw__: do they show up when you cycle through with alt-tab? [17:30] I'm having trouble installing JAVA and RSSowl in Hardy can anyone help, I have googled to end. [17:30] i guess so. thanks.

[17:32] hi everybody [17:32] i tried to install compiz [17:32] Hello [17:32] Mr_Bad_News: its installed by default, so obviously you screwed it up [17:32] sudo apt-get install fusion-icon compiz-gnome compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-core compiz libgnome-compiz-manager0* compizconfig-backend-gconf compiz-gnome compizconfig-settings-manager [17:32] should i go back and remove all of those? [17:32] i did the same mr bad news [17:32] I installed 8.04 last night on a fairly old box, and upon booting it up again this morning, GRUB threw me an error 18. So I reinstalled grub, shut down the box, and just started it up again, and it's reappeared. [17:33] nothing happens [17:33] How can I permanantly fix this error? [17:33] well 3d cube wasnt working nixnoob so i thought i needed to [17:33] Mr_Bad_News: fglrxinfo [17:33] is there a way to browse the files that are in an external hard drive via a terminal? [17:33] Mr_Bad_News: you shouldve just adjusted the compiz settings [17:33] Hexxeh, I think a good start would be to figure out what "error 18" corresponds to. [17:33] i did [17:34] it didnt work [17:34] sipior, you know how can i fix it ? [17:34] need a game controller anyone have a idea private message me please [17:34] Mr_Bad_News: with ccsm? [17:34] and i didnt have advanced graphics manager in preferences [17:34] Wrong drive parameters, I believe [17:34] i didnt have it nixnoob [17:34] hence why i installed all the stuff [17:34] ok [17:34] Mr_Bad_News: if awn was working then compiz was running [17:34] should i apt-get remove [17:34] yes but i didnt have ccsm [17:34] Mr_Bad_News: whats the output of fglrxinfo [17:34] Mr_Bad_News: dont remove anything [17:35] command not found [17:35] nixnoob, i did the same command with Mr Bad News. how can i enable compiz ? [17:35] <^Ocean^> How do i get Java working in firefox ? [17:35] If i boot an ubuntu box normally it gets past grub and sits with a flashing cursor -- i can boot it to recovery mode though -- what do i need to do to fix the proper boot? [17:35] is it possible to free the ram other than reboot the system ?

[19:49] I'm I correct [19:50] Lukemob-> borkein installation, you are most likely missing /etc/ directory which includes the init [19:50] *am I ? [19:50] yes, amenado, right... [19:50] Hi, anyone know how to get flash working in kazehakase [19:50] the problem is, the server is getting remotely isntalled, it's a bit hard to check if it's correct :) [19:50] but thanks [19:50] Does the nautilus search feature search within files or just their names? [19:51] Lukemob-> thats why you need to do a dry run before doing things remotely, so you'd know how to recover if things fails [19:51] amenado, I did backup.. I only care to get it working [19:52] Lukemob-> backup an unfinished install? that will not help you [19:52] Lukemob, get new disk to person installing and please leave this channel it is not a ubuntu problem ;-) [19:52] I'm using ubuntu hardy on a HP Compaq nc6400. My mic doesn't work now. I had selected alsa as the mixer in sound preferences explicitly for amarok and other audio players to work. I'm just wondering if that might be a reason, and how I could fix things [19:53] whats the specific package name for xfce [19:53] Does anyone know how i can ping my ubunut-server with its hostname from clients? [19:53] amenado, I mean, backed up the files needed... now there are people to get it working [19:53] i can connect via ip, but not with hostname [19:53] I have not too much work with it :) [19:53] omg [19:53] have to add it to the hosts list i think Navy1, or setup a dns server on your internal network [19:54] hi. anybody upgraded to 8.10? [19:54] no-ip.com [19:54] is good [19:54] ompaul, can't I stay here just because I talk about another system? [19:54] :( [19:54] Guest90587: in #ubuntu+1 please === Guest90587 is now known as _21h_ [19:54] Guest90587; #ubuntu+1 for ibex 8.10 [19:54] Lukemob-> as people had advised you, this is not a debian support channel it is ubuntu, so you may have to try out the install locally and then do same steps remotely to get the feel [19:54] Condoulo, I think it is xfce4 [19:54] amenado, I already know the solution mate.. said it while ago, but thanks a lot [19:55] Lukemob-> however, i can tell you, debootstrap is common to both debian and ubuntu installs === johnsy is now known as washburnello [19:55] I figured out the et-sdl-sound thing. On line 40 of the file change "alsa" to "pulse". [19:57] please help me quickly how to update repositories because my connection is going away every few minutes [19:58] I'm quite confused... I've done this several times before... my ssh keys aren't being accepted from one box but they are from another and I have the pub keys in authorized_keys [19:58] steel_lady: you mean sudo apt-get update? [19:58] how to update repositories in synaptic? [19:58] steel_lady, sudo aptitude update works too if that is what you want [19:58] hi. How to reapeat and reapeat wget downloads? [19:58] steel_lday: there should be a "reload" button === soundray_ is now known as soundray [19:58] steel_lady: update button? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [19:58] steel_lady, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [19:59] Any Huawei 3G users here? [19:59] Does anyone know if I can use a windows share as a vtape in Amanda, No one in #amanda seems to know [19:59] Just need to get one "remotely" working tomorrow [19:59] looking for someone up for a challenge - having bizarre problems with regard to being unable to open programs, can't work out why but it keeps recurring, help appreciated! [19:59] rytis: continue a wget download thar is parially downloaded with "wget -c" [19:59] steel_lady: unless you solve your space problem first, upgrading will only worsen your troubles [19:59] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [19:59] lusule: try running them in the terminal. that might help [20:00] thank you === The_Compiler is now known as The-Compiler [20:00] And at least one instruction said that it might work automatically by just plugging it in [20:00] maybeway36, been there, done that, got the t-shirt, doesn't work :( [20:00] :( [20:00] ? [20:00] maybeway36, a lot of people have tried a lot of things, i'm getting desperate. It works if i switch to a new user, sometimes it works when i reboot, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes after it works i reboot and it comes back again [20:00] !doesn't work [20:00] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [20:00] van.f [20:00] for a looot of them is just saying: not found [20:01] meep-meep, for examples, see the conversation i was having above... [20:01] lusule: this sounds crazy, but try installing icewm and see if it happens when logged in to icewm [20:01] maybeway36, what's icewm? [20:01] a window manager [20:01] icewm is a window manager [20:01] it's in the repos [20:01] lots of stuff is [20:01] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [20:01] sudo apt-get install icewm, then log out and choose icewm in sessions [20:01] maybeway36, i can't access the repos atm >< [20:02] hm [20:02] maybeway36, aaaah command line instructions still work :) [20:02] hi [20:02] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/253072 [20:02] Launchpad bug 253072 in ubuntu "wrong dpi value for rendering fonts" [Undecided,New] [20:02] why would it be that sudo sometimes ask for the password and sometimes doesn't? [20:02] I am setting up a file server for a friend, so I set up Ubuntu server with Samba services, but how would I install a UI on top of it? [20:02] Bogus8: There's some kind of timeout [20:02] Jupp3: ? [20:02] !hostname | lusule [20:02] lusule: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [20:02] Condoulo: try system-config-samba [20:02] I have "gilligan ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL" in the visudo file [20:02] Bogus8: If you do it twice in a row, it will ask for the first [20:03] Bogus8: when you've entered it once, within the same session, it won't ask again for the next 15 minutes [20:03] Bogus8: But if you wait long enough, it asks again [20:03] gotcha [20:03] =t [20:03] ok, so how do I get it to stop [20:03] legend2440, i don't think that was meant for me? [20:03] Bogus8: Stop doing what? [20:03] maybeway36, maybe I shouldn't have suggested Samba. :P I mean how would I install a UI on top of Ubuntu server? [20:03] is there another place to set environment variables, other then .bashrc, for the desktop environment ? [20:03] I've set it up on a few debian boxes but mirroring that isn't working here [20:03] stop not asking password sometimes? [20:03] ndumac: $HOME/.gnomerc [20:03] Jupp3: yeah, I just want to be able to sudo without passwords for anything for my user [20:03] soundray: great thanks i'll try that [20:04] what is the name of the stock install compiz package? is it just compiz? [20:04] soundray: i shouldn't expect it to already exist shoudl i ? [20:04] lusule: open /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts make sure they match. that can effect opening admin programs. worth a look anyway [20:04] ndumac: no [20:04] please what can I do? something is very wrong with my repositories. how can I install pidgin since kopete stopped working? [20:04] Bogus8; after you start a shell you could do sudo bash .. that would have the current terminal running as root. dangerous but do'able [20:05] Bogus8: Also sudo su works [20:05] steel_lady: you said earlier that you had a disk space shortage. Sort that out first [20:05] bastid_raZor: well, in my other installs I always set up visudo to not ask via " ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL" [20:05] !rootshell | bastid_raZor, Jupp3, Bogus8 === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [20:05] lusule: open /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts make sure they match. that can effect opening admin programs. worth a look anyway [20:05] soundray: boo, that didn't work! [20:05] legend2440, ah thank you [20:06] ndumac: did you restart gnome? [20:06] hehe [20:06] Bogus8; in my opinion that is boneheaded idea. i prefer to use sudo for all root needed things. i never do sudo bash or sudo su [20:06] whoever it was suggested i try icewm, apart from being completely bizarre, it seems to work [20:06] bastid_raZor, Jupp3, Bogus8: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [20:06] soundray: no i just ran source on the file === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [20:06] soundray: i'll do that now tho :p [20:06] bastid_raZor: well, that is what I'm trying to achieve actually... I want to be able to sudo without the need for the password.. not just sudo into a root shell.. but anytime I sudo [20:06] ndumac: that won't make gnome rereade it [20:07] oi [20:07] *reread [20:07] soundray: rebooting [20:07] ndumac: no reboot [20:07] I think you guys are missing what I'm asking... I know how to sudo su -... but what I'm after is the ability to not have sudo ask for passwords anytime I invoke the sudo command === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [20:08] meep-meep: just let him/her [20:08] Bogus8: Why do you want to do that? [20:08] I do this all day long on several of my etchy boxes [20:08] Bogus8; i under that. it severely defeats the purpose of having a user account. [20:08] meep-meep: won't that have the same effect as restarting gdm ? [20:08] Flannel: I'm the only one on these boxes and it's easier than having to type in a password ;) [20:08] ndumac: it'll take a bit longer and some people consider it un-Linux-y [20:08] People really don't care about security :( [20:08] bastid_raZor: well, I don't want to ALWAYS sudo, i just don't want the password prompt when I do [20:08] so in that case it doesn't [20:08] soundray: hah, well already rebooted [20:09] ndumac: that was quick [20:09] Bogus8: You'll find you will use sudo less as time goes on. Just live with it for the next week or so. [20:09] ndumac: has it worked? [20:09] soundray: it's just a D620 [20:09] soundray: trying [20:09] Bogus8: edit /etc/sudoers [20:09] soundray: doesn't appear to have [20:09] Flannel: well, that would be ok... but that still doesn't explain why sudo is working differently in ubuntu than it has in debian [20:09] Bogus8: man sudoers and look at the timestamp_timeout option [20:09] ndumac: not sure if it has to be chmod +x'd [20:09] soundray: wait a second === allen is now known as Bob_Sagot [20:09] nocive: I have... I have ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL in it [20:09] soundray: device wasn't found, forgot to run another script first [20:10] Bogus8: sudo works differently in ubuntu? [20:10] ArielMT: it's not a matter of the time stamp.... I want to set it up to never ask... not just not time out [20:10] Chousuke: apparently it does... which is why I am trying to sort it out [20:10] Bogus8: and still it asks you for password? [20:10] nocive: yeah [20:10] how does it work differently? [20:11] thanks soundray [20:11] Chousuke: I have identical visudo files (sudoers) and one box ask me for passwords and the other doesn't [20:11] guys, i need help in another question [20:11] Bogus8: did you use 'sudo visudo' to edit sudoers? [20:11] I don't agree with your decision to use nopasswd; at least *never* recommend others to do it. [20:11] Bogus8; 1 sec.. i'll give you what you're needing. [20:11] soundray: yes sir [20:11] i just set up my second server on a vmware host, and the nameserver will not resolve. I cannot apt-get anything [20:11] can i change the console "resolution"? i don't want to use it with just 25 lines and 80 columns... i have a big sreen... [20:11] Chousuke: I can respect that... but it's my personal box and I want to run it like that... though I heed your warning [20:11] is it possible to install google earth in ubuntu? [20:12] if so, how can i go about doing so? [20:12] Bogus8; add username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/sudo [20:12] soundray: it did not work === RandomCake__ is now known as RandomCake [20:12] ross check google webpage, they have the instructions if this is possible [20:12] SakuraKinomoto: you need to set a vga= boot option, e.g. vga=0x317 for 1024x768 [20:12] Bogus8; start another terminal and you're done. [20:12] bastid_raZor: I will try that out... but why isn't the same line from my debian box working on this box? [20:12] sakurakinomoto: thanks === ArielMT is now known as AwayMT [20:13] Bogus8; ubuntu is not debian [20:13] bastid_raZor: but sudo is sudo :p [20:13] ndumac: is your .gnomerc executable? Not sure if it has to be, but it's worth trying, given that it has failed so far === kaffee is now known as julia [20:13] Bogus8; ubuntu obviously has some tweaks that make it act differently than debian [20:13] bastid_raZor: if it is different I can accept that... but that is all I was asking is is it different and if so then how do I fix it... you seem to have answered that... thanks [20:13] <[globa|fin]> Hello. I am currently running an Ubuntu 8.04 server w/LAMP. The machine its on has a Pentium Xeon dual-processor motherboard. It also has two network ports, which were both plugged in. I unplugged one because I only want it to use that one. Now my network and apache is down - how can I make Ubuntu re-seek my new connection? Thanks! [20:14] bastid_raZor: are you telling how to avoid password for sudo in console? [20:14] Bogus8; that will work :) enjoy never typing a password with sudo :) [20:14] soundray: should i restart gnome ? [20:14] !googleearth | ross [20:14] ross: Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [20:14] bastid_raZor: wheredo i have to add this line? [20:14] bastid_raZor: thank you for assisting me against your better judgement ;) [20:14] SakuraKinomoto; do sudo visudo then add that line to the bottom of the file [20:14] ndumac: there's no way around it if you want to test [20:14] ross : add http://www.medibuntu.org/ to your source list [20:14] bastid_raZor: THANKS A LOT!!! [20:15] help! my server says:Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' [20:15] bastid_raZor: don't guess there is a way to make visudo work like debian (IE: it edits it in nano essentially) [20:15] Bogus8; heh, see what you've started.. tomorrow 10 people will be asking why sudo is acting all nuts ;) [20:15] * Bogus8 doesn't get along with vi [20:15] I lost the connection again. my sepositories.. some suggestions? [20:15] dbrewer_rjr : change it to main and try again [20:15] ndumac: did you use 'export' for the variable settings? [20:15] Hi room. I have ubuntu on my laptop and ubuntu server on my desktop. how do I access my desktop from my laptop? [20:15] bastid_raZor: RAWR!! chaos! ;) [20:16] steel_lady: sort out your disk space issue first [20:16] Bogus8; heh, i prefer vim but i think you can change which $EDITOR your prefer in your bash.profile [20:16] bastid_raZor: and that will change which one visudo evokes? [20:16] soundray: export VARNAME=blah, so yes [20:17] soundray: restart didn't change it [20:17] Hypnus9 you want to access files, or login to run programs ? [20:17] zvacet: change what to main? [20:17] Greetings! I'm running Ubuntu Server and am wondering how to enable auto-login. I know how to in a desktop environment, but this is the first time I'm working strictly via command-line. [20:17] soundray: the vga line... if to be placed where? [20:17] got a problem with my Geforce 7600gt cant activate my opengl without having black screen [20:17] Bogus8; i'm not sure, it may though. you can always try and find out. [20:17] bastid_raZor: cool, will be a good thing to know if it works! ;) [20:17] Access files [20:17] us.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com in your source list [20:18] soundray, I can not buy a new computer [20:18] dbrewer_rjr : after that sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [20:20] Oh god that earthquake was awful!!! [20:20] Oh sorry wrong channel [20:20] soundray: the line you told me to change the console dimensions, where can i place it? [20:20] steel_lady_ : you can get some free space with sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get autoremove [20:20] BrandonS: you're excused, if your tabs were messed up by the quake [20:20] zvacet, it didn't work enough a year ago [20:20] zvacet: it does not like security.ubuntu.com either. same thing? [20:21] Greetings! I'm running Ubuntu Server and am wondering how to enable auto-login. I know how to in a desktop environment, but this is the first time I'm working strictly via command-line. [20:21] zvacet, I did everything I could, removing programs and all my personal staff [20:21] server... auto-login... aaaargh [20:21] Jeren; are you referring to ssh login? [20:21] bastid_raZor: not to keep pressing the issue but shouldn't that same visudo line work if instead of /usr/bin/sudo you just had ALL ? [20:21] zvacet: no dice. did ubuntu change something? [20:21] steel_lady_ : I connected later what is original problem [20:22] bastid: I'm referring to when I boot up the box. [20:22] I'm using ExFalso to rename some files, but I get this error on every file. http://pastebin.ca/1086391 It creates the new file with proper name, but just doesn't delete the original. What is going on? [20:22] I've tried mounting an NTFS partition with cluster size of 8KB and 16KB using ntfs-3g and it mounts but the 'mount' command shows it still detected a blocksize of 4KB. Will it be correctly reading and writing with the proper cluster size? [20:22] hi guys. i want to compile a custom linux kernel. I have used make menuconfig. but i am confused about various options given. from where i can get details about the options. [20:22] my problem now is: I live alone in another country and I communicate every day with my mother by ICQ. now it lost the connection saying that the version is too old. what can I do, it doesn't permit update [20:23] zvacet be quick, I am loosing connection every few minutes [20:23] Jeren: install rungetty and read "man rungetty" [20:23] dbrewer_rjr : I don´t think so,but I can be wrong [20:23] Hey Guys, Does anyone know which libraries are required to enable rainbow colors in IRC? I can't seem to get it to work. [20:23] Bogus8; you're telling it specifically which command to allow nopasswd to. i've never used ALL i've always told it which command i don't want to be asked a password with.. in my case aptitude. i have a script for updating. [20:23] I know that if you type /disco in IRC, it's supposed to enable rainbow color mode, but its not working for me for some reason [20:23] hi everybody [20:23] geirha: Thank you. I'll take a look at rungetty now. [20:23] steel_lady_ : which version [20:23] hi guys I have an HD3870, Ubuntu 8.04.1 64-bit and am trying to figure out how to install the ati drivers. I am not sure if I should use the restricted drivers option in ubuntu as this has causes problems for my videocard in the past. Does anyone know of a method to correctly install the drivers? [20:24] zvacet feisty of ubuntu [20:24] bastid_raZor: right, just in other lines they use "ALL" like for root and stuff... and I've done it before.. .just never on ubuntu [20:24] zvacet:Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com' [20:24] I just installed it 2 minutes ago and it is fully updated [20:24] i am using live usb and i am now to integrated adobe flash player. Is it finished or not ? [20:24] bastid_raZor: ALL meaning all commands obviously [20:25] Snares_ubuntu: how long ago did you try this ? [20:25] hello, can you help me too with a ruby related question? when i execute a gem like rails, it say the programm does not exist.. [20:25] well I was using the 8.04 alpha version [20:25] accidentally :P [20:25] hi [20:25] steel_lady_ : feisty is still suported I don´t understand that type of warning [20:25] and I installed the restricted driver [20:25] is there a way I can make Ubuntu index filenames (and only filenames, not file content) so I can search for files better/faster? [20:25] Snares_ubuntu: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [20:26]  i am using live usb and i am now to integrated adobe flash player. Is it finished or not ? [20:26] guys...im facing a out of frequency error in my monitor...any ideas how to fix it?? [20:26] Bogus8; you may be correct on that assumption. since i have never attempted it that way i can't fully say yes or no. [20:26] zvacet, I am sure that something is just wrong with my repositories, something happened months ago and it just stopped working. I miss something there [20:26] cannot even see the screen after boot [20:26] dbrewer_rjr : can you browse the net [20:26] and when I rebooted and tried to login it completely messed up and the computer rebooted. I have read that having the memory remap feature on will mess things up, so I turned that off. Is it safe to just install from the default ubuntu restricted drivers? [20:26] bastid_raZor: roger... thanks for you assistance... it's hard to tell if it's working right away with the timestamp thing ;) [20:27] zvacet, tell me how to install pidgin? [20:27] ah ty legend2440 [20:27] Bogus8; open a more than one terminal. i normally have 4 or so running at once [20:27] bastid_raZor: oh, I got several open here ;) so each new terminal (log in) is a new timestamp? [20:27] steel_lady_ :http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_add_extra_repositories try this source list [20:27] zvacet: it is a server out on a server farm running vmware. the other server on the box has no probs doing apt-get update. this one on the same box just gives me resolve errors [20:28] Oh, now on to topic two of the oddities... [20:28] Bogus8; yes, each terminal is completely seperate than the other [20:28] I have ssh setup with the correct keys but it doesn't let me in from all boxes just my putty [20:28] zvacet:it is not the network card, cause i am securecrt to the server [20:28] bogus: do you have port 22 forwarded [20:29] Bogus8: do you have port 22 forwarded* [20:29] Snares_ubuntu: I'm local [20:29] Bogus8: there could still be some sort of firwall issue there though [20:29] firewall* [20:29] Hi! How can I migrate all my passwords to firefox to opera? [20:29] ]from firefox to opera I'm betting ;) [20:29] Snares_ubuntu: shouldn't be... i don't have one installed and I'm connecting to 192... I was able to do it using passwords [20:29] from firefox to opera [20:30] !kasumi [20:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about kasumi [20:30] Balls. [20:30] Bogus8: you're saying you're trying to ssh without a password??? [20:30] steel_lady_ :http://www.debuntu.org/pidgin-2.1.1-.deb-released-for-ubuntu-feisty maybe this [20:30] Snares_ubuntu: using rsa keys :p [20:30] ah === Snares_ubuntu is now known as Snares [20:31] is there a way to change the chmod of a folder and all its subfolders/files using the terminal please? [20:31] i was editing sudoers using visudo, but the program closed unexpectedly and i can't use visudo again... it's locked, how can i unlock? [20:31] AzizLight: use the -r option [20:31] dbrewer_rjr : I can not help you sorry :'( [20:31] AzizLight: chmod a+*** -R I believe [20:31] Bogus8; see.. already problems ;) make sure all the boxes have the keys [20:31] yeah@ soundray [20:32] Snares: yeah, I even scp'd my .pub keys to the new box from the old and appeneded them to the authkeys file [20:32] SakuraKinomoto: reboot to recovery mode and run visudo from there [20:32] I tried chmod 755 -r /path/to/my/folder and I got an error. I tried chmod -r 755 too and I also got an error [20:32] bastid_raZor: :p I had this problem before :p [20:32] Bogus8; i was referring to issues with visudo ^^ [20:32] all my boxes have keys... I even tried both dsa and rsa keys and I even used -i to make sure it was using the right ones [20:33] bastid_raZor: oh, I missed the question ;) [20:33] AzizLight: with chmod, it's -R [20:33] AzizLight: man chmod for more information [20:33] I have a weird problem. My cd tray doesn't want to work(open or close, with or without a cd on). Sometimes it does, but for a little. I have installed Ubuntu and Vista on a brand new Toshiba laptop. Eject [20:33] bastid_raZor: haha.. yeah, that's my fault :p [20:33] Bogus8; there is a tutorial on how to set up the keys correctly.. you could double check against that to see if you've completed all the steps correctly. i use the same key for at least two servers i connect to. [20:33] Bogus8; heh [20:34] bastid_raZor: well, it's not rocket science and I've done it a dozen times before (and multiple keys per box) [20:34] best way to run a script every 10 seconds? [20:34] riaal; cron [20:34] riaal: cron jobs ? [20:34] soundray: yeah I just rechecked the man and saw that it was -R not -r, thanks for the help [20:34] ok I forgot how to add the APT line? which command to edit the file? [20:34] riaal: 'while true ; do sleep 10 ; run script ; done [20:34] that how I'm doing it atm, just checking... thanks [20:35] how can i edit sudoers but using nano, not vi, not vi!!! [20:35] Hello everyone [20:35] soundray: not sure I want it running, it uses a lot of threads === sad`panda is now known as Sad`Panda === AwayMT is now known as ArielMT [20:35] soundray: sorry, missed you point [20:35] I'm curious as to how to edit my fstab to auto-mount an internal hard drive to a specific directory. I followed a tutorial, but it doesn't seem to be working. [20:35] I've tried mounting an NTFS partition with cluster size of 8KB and 16KB using ntfs-3g and it mounts but the 'mount' command shows it still detected a blocksize of 4KB. Will it be correctly reading and writing with the proper cluster size? [20:35] SakuraKinomoto: 'EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano visudo' [20:36] soundray: that a good idea, thanks [20:36] Eject doesn't work either. Doesn't work on Vista either. Vista says something else is accessing the drive. What could that be? [20:36] soundray: is it an environment variable? [20:36] SakuraKinomoto: yes [20:37] I need to know two thing. 1st How can I export my firefox passwords. 2nd How can I download youtube videos [20:37] thanks! [20:37] youre welcome [20:37] Does anyone know how to edit fstab? [20:37] !fstab > Fishscene [20:37] Fishscene: sudo nano /etc/fstab [20:37] Fishscene, please see my private message [20:38] Fishscene sudo nautilus until you reach the file [20:38] !gksu | Gigi [20:38] Gigi: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:38] Soundray, coincidentaly, that's the exact tutorial I used [20:38] makes sense soundray [20:39] I can manually mount the drive drive just fine. It's the fstab configuration that's got me [20:39] bastid_raZor: I looked at the keys in nano (my old faithful editor) and it looks fine... I even moved "known host" just to eliminate that and still "Permission denied (publickey)." [20:39] Fishscene: that should have put you in a position to ask more specifically [20:40] What's the link to binbucket so I don't spam stuff in here? [20:40] Fishscene: what does the line you're using in your Fstab look like right now? [20:40] !pastebin > Fishscene [20:40] Fishscene, please see my private message [20:40] how do I see what is using my cd drive? It doesn't open 90% of the time, often not even at boot. Thanks [20:40] hi - i'm trying to install lamp on 8.04 - there was a single apt-get install command for it in 7.10 but i've forgotten i! can anyone remind me? [20:41] I need to know two thing. 1st How can I export my firefox passwords. 2nd How can I download youtube videos. Thanks guys! [20:41] synusoid: there's something wrong with your drive itself -- I don't think this is an Ubuntu problem [20:41] synusoid does it open correctly with the eject button on the cdrom itself ? [20:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/31838/ [20:42] hey [20:42] Gigi: 1) please ask one question at the time. 2) Firefox passwords can't be exported, except manually one-by-one, 3) Use the download link on the page [20:42] I'm learning linux commands [20:42] :D [20:42] Greeting everybody, I used Brasero to burn a DVD, at the end of burning it asked again to load the DVD for data integrity(no DVD god corrupted its not working now :() what does Data integrity means?? [20:42] thanks soundray [20:43] whats a good flowcharting app? [20:43] ManualOverDozer8: soundray: no, the button and the command eject both won't work. Vista says something is using my cd drive. The problem is sometimes it works, so it's hard to point out what the problem could be [20:43] Fishscene: you can only have one set of options -- delete the lonely 'auto'. [20:43] kushalsejwal ensures that the burn was successful and all the data is good. it verifys that the burn went good [20:43] soundray and how about from the folder .mozilla / firefox? I managed to export firefox2firefox when I upgraded to the last ubuntu (it was time for a clean install after three years of upgrades and updates) [20:44] it seems to work fine if I use the live cd for Ubuntu [20:44] do they share filetypes? [20:44] ManualOverDozer8: Okay, but is it necessary?? [20:44] but I don't know, it could be a coincidence, lol [20:44] synusoidis there a cd in the drive you wish to remove ? there is a small pin-hole near the eject button, push a small pin in there to manually eject the drive [20:44] Gigi; copy the .mozilla directory.. it will the majority of all things the same. i had to redo all my saved passwords though [20:44] Fishscene: not sure if the double quotes are sufficient to escape the space. If it still doesn't work, try a backslash before the space, or avoid the space in the directory name altogether [20:44] any advanced sshers around? I'm trying to figure out if i can have sshd forward a port when it starts with host auth [20:45] synusoid only use that if the drive wont eject at all. i cant tell you why the OS wont eject it. it should, but it can be a number of reasons why it dont [20:45] robf: there is package called kivio in synaptic [20:46] ManualOverDozer8: nothing inside. The problem arises with or without a cd inside. And I don't want to open it with a pin every time, especially considering it a brand new laptop... [20:46] I have trouble with oidentd, it dont work. this is what the message in syslog is [20:46] Jul 29 21:45:39 ubuntu oidentd[13237]: Connection from mediatraffic2.fi.quakenet.org (195.12.59.196):0 [20:46] Jul 29 21:45:39 ubuntu oidentd[13237]: [mediatraffic2.fi.quakenet.org] 53896 , 6667 : ERROR : NO-USER [20:46] Gigi: the new firefox may have imported the old settings. That doesn't mean that you can do the same with opera [20:46] synusoid if it is under warranty you should see who you got it from to have it replaced (at no charge) [20:46] soundray yeah, I guess so [20:47] Hi, Can anyone help me with a sound issue. I just installed Kubuntu and I had sound, then I installed codecs for mp3 playback, now I have no sound. === SunWuKung|away is now known as SunWuKung|away|a [20:47] bye all [20:47] synusoid if you bought one and the cd tray never ejects, that is hardly worth any money at all [20:47] bman___; kde 3.5 or kde 4.*? [20:48] bastid_raZor: Not sure, whatever is on the disc [20:48] synusoid it doesnt sound to be an Ubuntu issue, as Vista does the same thing. its more like hardware in which this isnt the right channel for that [20:48] synusoid: in any case, what you have is not an Ubuntu issue. Try ##hardware perhaps [20:48] how could I see what processes are accessing the drive? [20:48] bastid_raZor: 3.5.90 [20:48] bman___; join #kubuntu for kde3.5 [20:48] anyone know how to specify to casper where to find its filesystem image? I'm pouring over the initramfs source but I can't find the answer [20:48] there is an o"open file" command, but, i forget what it is [20:49] synusoid: lsof or fuser. But neither will solve your problem [20:51] anyone know where I can find people who have a clue about casper's startup routines inside the initramfs on the install systems? there's no documentation of startup options that I can find, and the source is a bit convoluted [20:52] Greetings again. Now that I have my Ubuntu Server box up with LAMP, I'm attempting to upload files to /var/www via SFTP. However, I apparently don't have permission to do so. What would be a good way to resolve this? [20:53] zvacet, are you still here? [20:53] Jeren: add yourself to the group that owns it [20:53] Jeren: it might be www-data or something [20:53] kenkku: If I'm reading my screen right, /var/www is owned by root. [20:54] please I need help to instal pidgin! [20:54] Jeren: what about the group ownership? ls -ld /var/www [20:54] Jeren: let's check, execute this in a terminal: ls -l /var/ |grep www [20:54] apparently geirha had a better one :p [20:55] steel_lady_, ?..whats the problem [20:55] steel_lady_ : I just try to find deb file for feisty that is all [20:55] ok I got rid of the lonely auto, still not quite working: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31844/ [20:55] geirha: Group ownership is also root [20:56] Fishscene: did you get what I said about the space? [20:56] steel_lady_ use Synaptic Package Manager and search pidgin [20:56] kenkku: I did your way, too, just to make you feel helpful :) Same result, obviously... [20:56] hehe [20:56] soundray, yes, but I wonder why it mounts alright when using the mount command. [20:56] steel_lady_ : try search forums nothing else cross my mind right now [20:56] Or is there another way to signify space? [20:56] hi, i'm trying to update from 7.10 to 8.04 - it's been doing the upgrade for about 13 hours now, and for the past 3 hours, it's said "about 4 minutes remaining" [20:57] has anyone got any advice please? [20:57] how can people still use dialup? :) [20:57] Fishscene: it's different then, because the shell deals with the filename in that case, and knows to keep everything between the quotes together [20:57] Jeren: are you the only one who will need write access? [20:57] is it safe to quit/cancel it? It said now at the beginning [20:57] hah. i'm being sarcastic. ignore me. [20:57] ajbrun, yes [20:57] ah. Would you know of a way of retaining the space besides changing the directory name? That's a lot of work on my end to do so >.> [20:57] ok then - i'll try again tomorrow in that case [20:57] ajbrun, downloaded files are in /var/cache/apt/ [20:58] ajbrun, upgrade will resume from where it left [20:58] no - i think it's downloaded everything [20:58] ajbrun, even better [20:58] but it's got stuck on the update [20:58] geirha: Yes. Only one user account, and it'll be used just to update scripts and pages. [20:58] soundray: doesn't Fishscene need to specify partition type? ext3 or ntfs? [20:58] ajbrun: there is a known problem when upgrading locales -- do you want me to dig out the bug report? [20:58] can you have the upgrade use a local mirror instead of mirror.ubuntu.com? [20:58] configuring locales [20:58] ajbrun, just run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" from term [20:58] eth01 : bexause they don´t have other options [20:58] Jeren: The following will give you ownership to /var/www and everything underneath it: sudo chown -R $USER /var/www [20:58] ah [20:58] ajbrun, ah..see soundray's post [20:58] legend, that's what the lonely auto was for I thought. But I got rid of it anyway. >.> [20:58] ajbrun; i got that same error two days ago and my upgrade failed. i had to do a fresh install [20:58] Hi all! [20:58] on the forums i assume anirudh0 [20:59] i'll take a look [20:59] Jeren: then you should have full access to add and remove files in your webroot [20:59] Fishscene: sorry, I was wrong on that then. Thanks legend2440 [20:59] I just updated Ubuntu and now Atheros WLAN does not work anymore ... what should I do? [20:59] lol, NP :) I'll add it back in [20:59] i was running lm_sensors and according to that my + and - 12V rails are only outputting 6V is that a problem? [20:59] kde 4.1 has been released [20:59] Fishscene: don't you want to specify it, instead of putting auto? [20:59] My external hard drive has magically changed from writeable to read-only without me changing fstab. Help! [20:59] just in case you did'nt see slashdot recently ;) [20:59] !cookie | legend2440 [20:59] legend2440: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [20:59] geirha: Each time I attempt to do so with Filezilla, I get nothing but a permission error. [21:00] Just in case you..cared? [21:00] ^__^ [21:00] soundray, I've tried it specified and auto, I can try specifying it again if you wish [21:00] !beer | soundray [21:00] soundray: Beer is always appreciated. [21:00] soundray; i would like that bug info on the locales.. it caused me a great headache. [21:00] lol [21:00] anybody who can hint me how to fix efi after removing osx and enlarging my ubuntu partition on a macbook pro where I want a single boot? I can't seem to figure out how to get it bootable again... refit has dissapeared after removing osx [21:00] Fishscene: are you rebooting each time to test? [21:00] soundray, yes [21:00] anirudh0, zvacet, are you here? I lost connection again [21:01] steel_lady__ : still here [21:01] steel_lady_, yes...have you tried apt-get install pidgin? [21:01] Fishscene: you don't have to. Just 'sudo mount -a' will read your fstab and mount anything in it that isn't mounted already [21:01] oh! [21:01] sorry soundray - could you please dig out that bug report if you could? [21:01] Hey guys I have a problem with samba / SAM: "Error: Invalid credentials" [21:01] My external hard drive has magically changed from writeable to read-only without me changing fstab. Help! [21:01] Jeren: even after you've given yourself ownership with the chmod command? [21:01] geirha: I haven't attempted that... <.< Good reminder.

[22:06] ...now to set permissions so I can write to it through SAMBA [22:07] Fishscene; what did you do? did the \040 work? i'm curious to know [22:08] Voxicles: if I got that kind of symptoms on my machine, I would immediately suspect faulty hardware [22:08] Here's my fstab with a comment: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31882/ [22:09] I find it interesting because "errors=remount-ro" is on my /dev/sda1 in fstab. O_o [22:09] my old dapper on my laptop don't want to install a newest version of gcc [22:09] how can i do? [22:09] somebody help me [22:09] anyone here happen to know how to resolve a grub error 18, I installed kubuntu and resized a windows partition using the installer and now when I reboot the computer it just gives me error 18, grub appears to be setup and configured correctly [22:09] I have rebooted grub [22:09] Fishscene: nice, though two things. the last number should be 2, not 1 ... it has to do with when the filesystem is checked, and only / and /boot should have 1st priority on that, all others 2 [22:09] i got problem with APT [22:10] Hey can anybody help with Gnome Voice Control? [22:10] geirha, I'll make that change. Thanks! [22:10] Fishscene: second, it's safer to use UUID or LABEL instead of devicenode. "sudo blkid" will show you the UUID and LABEL (if any) [22:10] Otacon22, you can be upgrading packages with synaptic [22:10] DRebellion: it is sudo do-release-upgrade [22:10] Good evening :D [22:10] "Segmentation faultsts" [22:10] flavior: Not 100% sure, but looks like your compile isn't finding stddef.h. [22:11] what's the apt-get for xmms? :P [22:11] Fishscene: then change /dev/sdb1 with UUID=1234abcd-... [22:11] I better have copy and past abilities in this SSH [22:11] help [22:11] Fishscene: in a gnome-terminal, you mark with left mouse button to copy (no ctrl+c) and middle-click to paste [22:12] anyone here happen to know how to resolve a grub error 18, I installed kubuntu and resized a windows partition using the installer and now when I reboot the computer it just gives me error 18, grub appears to be setup and configured correctly. I already tried reinstalling with grub-install [22:12] i recommend audacious vice xmms [22:12] sd card format witch program? [22:12] Fishscene: if you are connecting from windows with putty, the default paste button is the right one instead of the middle [22:12] linxeh, interesting. Is that a gui app (it's a python script)? [22:12] audacious is a fork of xmms that is much better [22:12] geirha; as a default of my fstab /home is also 1.. the dvdrom is 0 and swap is 0 [22:12] geirha, you are a mindreader with Windows putty :P [22:12] Use foobar :P [22:13] we are in business :D [22:13] anyone knows if i can use my webcam in ubuntu [22:13] probably manu_ [22:13] "bidness" [22:13] you can use webcam in ubuntu with amsn [22:14] amsn? cool [22:14] yes, with amsn [22:14] bastid_raZor: /home got 1 by default? hm ... well, it's not completely wrong, either way will work, but I would have my /home as 2. "man fsck" and "man fstab" has a few sections on that [22:15] geirha; yes by default, i'll read up on fsck and fstab. [22:15] Why does Ubuntu hate Nessus :( [22:15] the latest version on repo is 1 [22:15] and the current version is 3 [22:15] ... [22:15] oook. Question. I have samba setup to share /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/ I've mounted this second drive in /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/drive2 How would I make this drive writeable via SAMBA? [22:15] Hello, I have a Samsung Juke and was wondering if I could use it with gMobileMedia to look through my file system? [22:15] chown? [22:16] hi. i can't install windows anymore to my drive which has ubuntu on it. when i try to install windows, it installs some files, wants to reboot, but then only a blinking cursor appears.. [22:16] thanx audacious is exactly want I was looking for. :) [22:16] I am having trouble trying to configure it [22:16] it doesn't matter who the owner is Fishscene [22:16] Beererde; sadly the correct way to do a dual boot is to install windows first then ubuntu. [22:16] you need to change the chmod [22:16] and you must be editing your smb.conf file [22:16] bastid_raZor: yes but i can't install windows anymore [22:16] Agreed, the windows installer is VERY dumb. [22:17] Beererde; that statement makes no sense. [22:17] Fishscene: what filesystems are we talking about? "stat -f -c %T /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/ /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/drive2" [22:17] setup a partition for windows first [22:17] bastid_raZor: why [22:17] Or you could just run windows in vm. :D [22:17] Anyone have any experience using gMobileMedia? [22:17] no [22:17] does not work. it does not find its harddrive anymore [22:17] Beererde; there must be a reason why windows does not install.. can't is not a reason. [22:17] bastid_raZor: something with the mbr i think [22:18] Create an NTFS primary partition [22:18] bastid_raZor: but windows itself can't fix it [22:18] Sydero: i dit [22:18] did [22:18] hmmm [22:18] Beererde; exactly why the recommended course is windows first then ubuntu.. windows is retarded about allowing dual boots [22:18] then i used setup to install [22:18] what did you use to make the partition? [22:18] gparted [22:19] Hmm [22:19] can someone help me get my 2nd monitor online and working? i have an nvidia 8800gt with the nvidia-glx-new drivers but when i go to the resolution app and try to detect displays it only sees the one... help [22:19] Hi... any suggestions on tweaking Ubuntu for better performance on an Atom powered netbook? Also how to make 1024x600 resolution work better if possible :) [22:19] windows works fine with dual boots [22:19] but usually you install windows first then linux [22:19] which i did [22:19] !xinerama | n00b [22:19] n00b: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [22:19] Is the ntfs part near the beginning cylinders? [22:19] geirha: ef53 (and) ef53 [22:19] How can I detect what version of fltrlglx is installed by restricted drivers? [22:19] dethray: yes [22:19] I have an Epson Stylus CX6050, but when I followed the procedure written here: http://preview.tinyurl.com/2qbc9x in order to get the scanner to work, the printer stopped working (it says the printer "might be" disconnected). However, the scanner now works (through xsane) while it used to say "no device detected". [22:19] Can someone help me on this? Firefox and all graphical web browsers do not load certain websites, but I can ping them and view them in CLI browsers. [22:19] Typically, Linux is a lot more respective of other operating systems. Think of Windows as the Romans, and Linux as the ethopians [22:19] dethray: it's the first partition [22:19] What error are you getting? [22:20] chazco, 'slim' or 'light' GTK themes help on small screens [22:20] no error. just a cursor [22:20] hell, they make big ones more fun too [22:20] http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [22:20] after a full install is complete? [22:20] !sshd [22:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about sshd [22:20] yes, after the first time it wants to boot [22:20] HMm [22:20] Fishscene: that should have been %T, not %t, but ef53 means ext2/ext3, so yes, you can use chown/chmod since ext2/ext3 support ownership and permissions [22:20] Beer sounds like to me the MBR is borked [22:21] Did you try the recovery console to fix the mbr? [22:21] Anyone know how to configure gMobileMedia? [22:21] bastid_raZor: i think it too, but when i use fixmbr from the windows cd, it does not work :/ [22:21] Will grub boot it? [22:21] :P [22:21] i cant get compiz working [22:21] maybe your graphics card sucks Mr_Bad_News [22:22] entropy5123: Ubuntu speaks a Semitic language with an abu-gheidic script? [22:22] Hello [22:22] Mr_Bad_News; #compiz-fusion may be the best channel to ask.. [22:22] Sounds good. I just have no idea howto pull this off. (I come from a Windows background). So mounting the drive in that directory doesn't mean that SAMBA permissions are inherited to the drive. [22:22] nixnoob, if you are online thanks for your help before. ubuntu now works perfectly. [22:22] aka make the drive writeable via SAMBA [22:22] it worked fine last time i installed Sydero [22:22] now every since i put /home on a different partition things have been acting a fool [22:22] If i want to upgrade a 6.10 box to 8.04 - i need to update my dist.list? what should i use? [22:23] avant + compiz makes me happy [22:23] at the mo it's set at [22:23] deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted [22:23] deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted [22:23] Mr Bad News, your problem fixed ? [22:23] mnetpok: In English, C/C++, Python, and maybe even Asm I could have understood you, but I am not so good at cryptography [22:23] Buzzons do a fresh install [22:23] dethray; cairo-dock is a bit flashier.. [22:23] HMm [22:23] I'll check that out [22:23] can't i just change "edgy" to hardy or heron.. or w/e it is? [22:23] How can you control the rate at which the cursor blinks in a terminal? Also, how could I configure it to be a block instead of an underscore '_'? [22:23] Fishscene: ot [22:23] dethray; i used AWN for ages.. found cairo-dock just recently and am a true fan now [22:23] entropy5123: "Think of Windows as the Romans, and Linux as the ethopians" [22:23] Hardy and Heron are one in the same [22:24] going by this :: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading :: but i can't install the stuff it needs as the 6.10 reps are no longer there [22:24] Ohh, you were refering to that, okay [22:24] Sweet [22:24] entropy5123 :: aye -- but where my dist.list has edgy -- what should i put? hardy? or heron? ro something else? [22:24] Anyone here have any links to instructions to get VirtualBox USB support turned on in Hardy that are straight forward? [22:24] Fishscene: sorry, missed some keys. It's a bit hard to explain how permissions and ownership work, so I think it's best to just give you a link to read [22:24] Buzzons, you'll want to do a fresh install -- get a new ISO from the Ubuntu site [22:25] really? [22:25] yes [22:25] How can I be 100% sure that am not missing any file on ubuntu ? [22:25] can't i upgrade it easily? [22:25] errr [22:25] ubottu: tell Fishscene about permissions [22:25] no [22:25] Fishscene, please see my private message [22:25] you don't need a fresh install [22:25] you can upgrade it easily [22:25] Just saying Linux is pretty considerate of other operating systems and Windows just thinks you will use it and only it [22:25] *reading* [22:25] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading <== that says it is doable, but as my apt dist.list is out of date it can't grab the stuff needed [22:25] Sydero, he's upgrading from 6.06 [22:25] from 6.10 [22:25] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [22:25] doesn't matter [22:25] Do you know how current the package is resp? [22:25] is there a flag which prevents the boot record from being written? [22:25] Buzzons: Typically Hady Heron is refered to as Hardy [22:26] How can I be 100% sure that am not missing any file on ubuntu ? Anyone please ? [22:26] apt-get update breaks [22:26] as it can't finf the files -- just gives me 404s [22:26] breaks? [22:26] hmmm [22:26] ouch [22:26] e/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 194.169.254.10 80] [22:26] Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-updates/restricted/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 194.169.254.10 80] [22:26] etc etc [22:26] you need to update your sources [22:26] yea -- to what? [22:26] Buzzons: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:26] Sydero, his sources list is completely out of date now -- like I said, he needs a new ISO [22:26] can't i just change the word "edgy" in the dist.list to "heron"? [22:26] and then do it? [22:27] deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted [22:27] http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy [22:27] being the line at the mo.. so i just change it to hardy? [22:27] and it should work? [22:27] Buzzons, what are you trying to do? [22:27] Buzzons atual distro is Har Heron [22:27] I have to go soon, does anyone know how to configure gMobileMedia with the Samsung Juke? [22:27] Buzzons atual distro is Hardy Heron [22:27] make a) my distlist NOT give 404s when i use apt-get.. and change from 6.10 to 8 [22:27] I need it to pick it up [22:28] !DualHead [22:28] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [22:28] i know it's called hardy heron -- but that's not, i would assume, what goes into the dist list where my "edgy" is [22:28] anyone here good with bash scripts? i have a very good script that needs a slight adjustment, essentially just want the output to go to a text file on the current users desktop instead of printing to terminal window [22:28] OB add " > /home/user/text.file" [22:28] hello [22:29] hello [22:29] Buzzons : though it should be possible to upgrade, safest way is to back up your useer data on an external partititon or drive (maybe burn em) and to run a fresh install [22:29] haw are you people? [22:29] buzzons: here is the script: find . ! -empty -type f -printf "%s " -exec ls -dQ {} \; | sort -n | uniq -D -w 1 | cut -d" " -f2- | xargs md5sum | sort | uniq -w32 -d --all-repeated=separate | cut -c35- [22:29] How can I be 100% sure that am not missing any file on ubuntu ? Anyone please ? [22:29] how can i make a partition active in linux? [22:30] OB1FoShoB: #bash might be a better chance [22:30] Beererde download the gparted [22:30]  Beererde: run gparted [22:30] i'd almost like it to be a wildcard, so it can go to any users desktop [22:31] #bash [22:31] does anyone use sbackup (the simple backup tool)? does the purging of old backups work?? [22:31] does anyone with an NVidia card ever get artifacts when you're restarting Ubuntu? It's a bunch of green vertical lines -- and the system just hangs there. It happens maybe 10% of the time (when you reboot from the os) [22:31] foforito: how to do it with gparted? is it the same as the boot flag? [22:31] it is easy and in a grphic mode [22:32] sudo apt-get install gparted [22:32] Hello. [22:32] and then gparted [22:32] it is easy [22:32] only move a bar [22:32] has anyone ran an xdcc server on ubuntu before? [22:32] Sydero so what exactly should i put in my dist.list to let me now use apt-get (so it doesn't give 404s) and so that i can upgrade it to 7 [22:32] *8 [22:32] I'm trying to get audio and video to work over hdmi. Currently I can get video to work perfectly, or if I unmute the hdmi audio then I get stuttered video frames and a single frame of audio every 5 seconds [22:33] what release of cairo-dock are you using? [22:33] I'm temped to get the svn [22:34] Does anyone know how to help? [22:34] anyone can help me ? [22:34] Could anyone tell me how I'd go about installing IPv6? [22:34] i can not help [22:34] i am so new in this [22:34] sorry [22:34] what is the wildcard for current user? [22:35] is there any application that can be used to search through a process's memory for a value and then narrow it further by changing the value and searching the results again? this is common in cheat systems for games [22:35] How can you control the rate at which the cursor blinks in a terminal? Also, how could I configure it to be a block instead of an underscore '_'? [22:35] OB1FoShoB, wildcard? [22:35] Sindacious:I think its installed by default, which app do you want to run ? [22:36] OB1FoShoB, you mean bash variable $USER ? [22:36] anyone knows about a channel in spanish?? [22:36] . [22:36] here [22:36] chuy_max: i want to print a text file to the current logged on user's desktop [22:37] . [22:37] chuy_max: so /home/$USER/desktop? [22:37] ty anyway see you people [22:37] foforito: might try /list on ubuntu.com [22:37] need a game controller any ideas [22:38] idk if this topic is taboo but does anyone have a recommendation for software to burn a backup of a dvd i have? [22:38] yes - a backup so i can keep my discs nice and neat [22:38] OB1FoShoB, yes, but it is Desktop with capital letter [22:38] oops! It was an ownership issue. I just needed to change the owner from root to my username. All works fine and dandy now :D [22:38] nosto:nero is nice [22:39] dvd software? just use brasero? [22:39] flash is being all chunky and splotchy [22:39] nosto:k3b is linux [22:39] for linux yea [22:39] it works, thank u so much [22:39] do i need another packages ? [22:40] ok but can it make a copy of my dvd disc? [22:40] alraun1, so I can connect to IPv6 servers, etc. [22:40] nosto, it should be able to make a copy of any disk you give it. [22:40] Fishscene: excelent! [22:40] quick question - anyone else have problems with flash playing on youtube recently. it doesnt seem to load fast enough - always buffering. other vid sites dont have this problem (like collegehumour). am using FF3 on hardy [22:40] yea it seems to be CD based tho.. [22:40] nosto, the only way i think you might be able to find out is to actually do it yourself :) [22:40] coaster time! [22:41] nosto, if things go wrong, just come back and we can work with ya. [22:41] K3b is cd + dvd [22:41] I'm doing a full system reboot to test out everything. [22:41] Sydero, so is brasero :) [22:42] Sorry I prefer answers that are more concrete than pick and choose guessing game and such - trouble shooting is one thing - a recommendation for software .. not so much [22:42] everyone should go join #0 with /join #0 [22:42] Sindacious:should be no problem, without specific installations, if I run my network-applet, there are ipv6 lines [22:42] nosto, what im trying to say politely is i have never tried it so i can only tell you that you might wish to try it out yourself :) [22:43] nosto, but im also saying i dont see why it wouldnt work. [22:43] is there a way to backup my current Hardy install (and packages) to cd ? [22:43]  /join #0 [22:43] ManualOverDozer8: yes [22:43] hey is there a harddrive temp monitoring plugin for xfce panel? [22:43] same for disk [22:43] same for processor i mean... [22:44] ? [22:44]  /msg ubottu etiquette [22:44] alraun1, I made an attempt to connect to a network's IPv6 addr, and it came back unreachable, so I'm assuming I might be missing something. [22:44] histo: how might i do that please? [22:44] !backup > ManualOverDozer8 [22:44] ManualOverDozer8, please see my private message [22:44] thank you [22:44] Sindacious:could you ping it ?

[22:45] geirha: it also (after 30 reboots) causes ubuntu to check filesystems for errors... [22:46] :P Yes, I've heard that linux should never have to be restarted. But I just don't know all the commands to restart things :) [22:46] alraun1, ping: unknown host 2001:470:b851::1 [22:46] hvgotcodes: install xsensors [22:46]  hvgotcodes: check apt for packet sensors [22:46] Helllo everyone [22:46] well, I get the cpu temp from the sensors builtin, it says it supports fans and voltages as well, but I dont think my laptop does [22:46] you know when you click a file and it highlights it , where is the setting for that?

How do I change this? === Kopfgeldjaeger2 is now known as Kopfgeldjaeger [22:53] Hi I am trying to install openvpn on my new ubuntu server 8.04 but was unsuccessfull ...can some one help [22:53] Mr_Bad_News: whats different from this install and the last? [22:53] does anyone know how to mass import libary files into Eagle? [22:54] Until this evening I have been happily manually updating my MTU so that I can use the internet at any decent speed every log in using "ifconfig eth1 mtu 1400". But after todays brilliant update, I get "SIOCSIFMTU: Operation not permitted" and consequently an internet about as fast as swimming through bitumen. HELP! [22:54] I am going crazy, I miss space to update system, I removed 500MB and the amount of space stayed the same! [22:54] steel_lady: empty the trash [22:54] jeeves__: for everyone? or just you? [22:55] it is empty [22:55] steel_lady:run df -h and du -h to see what is useing all your space [22:55] steel_lady: try sudo aptitude autoclean [22:55] steel_lady: free up some more disk space. [22:55] steel_lady: also make sure there aren't any crazy logs in /var/log [22:55] Flannel, I'm the only one on this system [22:55] nice Blaqligh1 [22:55] could i get the config files? [22:55] i dont know histo [22:55] okay im about tired of this....im the computer owner and I do love ubuntu dont get me wrong....the other day I tried to edit index.html for the apache server....wouldnt let me....I know I can do it using sudo....but can I change permissions so this doesnt happen anymore?? [22:55] jeeves__: make a folder for libraries (~/eaglelib or whatever) and then add that to your library path in Eagle, and they'll show up [22:55] Ack! Ignore me, I was forgetting "sudo" [22:56] n1zjd_: chmod [22:56] Flannel, I d-loaded all of the lib files from the site, and then I've had to manually import them [22:56] histo sudo aptitude autoclean [22:56] steel_lady: yeah [22:56] histo Freed 0B of disk space [22:56] nlzxj:yes you can but you have to be very carefull because apache is very picky wen it comes to that [22:56] do I need to do that with every file I want to access? [22:56] Flannel, what config do I edit? [22:56] its not just apache...I could care less about apache [22:56] steel_lady: how did you run out of disk space? How much do you have for / [22:57] but I tried to move a file from my desktop to /usr/share and get denied [22:57] jeeves__: no, just stick them in a folder. Eagle doesn't "import", it just uses what it sees. They won't be "used" by default, but you want to do that on a per project basis anyway [22:57] just make you self part of the group of the file you are trying to add, i know apaches uses it's own group in some point [22:57] n1zjd_: you probably want to create a www group and add your user to it. Someone else on here might know the "best" way [22:57] jeeves__: Just do it through the Eagle GUI [22:57] Flannel, I d-loaded them into the lbr folder, and nothing is showing up untill I import them [22:57] again sorry I mentioned apache...had nothing to do with apache specifically.... [22:58] how do i convert an xls to ics. i want to import it to evolution. [22:58] I want to be able to move a file to anywhere on the system I want to [22:58] histo I think I had 8G [22:58] n1zjd_: you can't unless you are root. [22:58] n1zjd_: there is a reason for that. [22:58] Flannel, I have a few hundred of them. that's why I asked if there was an automated way of doing it [22:58] I ran: "aptutude --help" At the bottom it says "This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers". LOL? [22:58] and what reason is that? [22:58] tech0007: xls is a spreadsheet, ics is a calendar thing. You might be able to export xls as cvs, and evolution might be happy with that [22:58] to save yourself from yourself? [22:58] Flannel: ok [22:58] in What directory are those files located.the one you are trying to edit [22:58] n1zjd_: so you don't bork your system editing files by accident etc... [22:58] !sudo > n1zjd_ [22:58] n1zjd_, please see my private message [22:59] Hey there. Got a (hopefully) simple question about mounting hard drives. [22:59] I'm well aware of sudo...I just thought there might be a better way [23:00] hello. I'll need to reinstall windows, and that means my grub loader bye bye. How can I restore it afterwards? [23:00] n1zjd_: who is the group that owns www? [23:00] what is your question Xstylus [23:00] sudo is the best method [23:00] Flannel, I didn't know if there was a way of doing a cmd-line to import them [23:00] n1zjd_: just add your user to that group and you will have access to edit the html files [23:00] I've got a hard drive mounted in my machine and accessible, and my user account can read and write to it, but only me. I want all users of the machine to be able to read/write to it. [23:00] 2nd hard drive, tha tis. [23:00] nlzjd_:in what directory are those files located? [23:00] binarydragon: www [23:00] the group is root [23:01] When I do ubuntu recovery it fix my ubuntu from having problems before ? [23:01] give it 777 permission to the mount directory [23:01] Flannel, hey man, I need to buy you a beer some time [23:01] i have a gateway m-6337. everything except the wireless seems to be working okay. the bottom of the laptop says it's an rt2700e from ralink, but nowhere seems to mention that card. anyone know if the 2860 driver will work for it? [23:01] n1zjd_: well you chgrp them to www and add your user to that. I thought there was an apache group to add your user to. [23:01] n1zjd_: don't do what binarydragon said [23:01] binarydragon: no [23:01] histo:i wa talking to XStylu [23:01] lol why not....I trust myself [23:01] histo, n1zjd_: there is. its www-data [23:02] When I do ubuntu recovery it fix my ubuntu from having problems before ?

[23:02] When I do ubuntu recovery it fix my ubuntu from having problems before ? [23:02] Fishscene: I'm afraid it's not lying ... it really doesn't have super cow powers :/ but it's fairly good even though [23:02] binarydragon: That did the trick. Had a feeling it was something simple. Thanks. :) [23:02] raw: what problem do u have ?? [23:02] No problem [23:02] ROFL. I just thought the text was pretty random. :P [23:03] GMFash:do it from sypnatic [23:03] alraun1, thanks man. i think some files are missing from before. i removed compiz etc.. and i did a recovery. now everything fixed ? [23:03] errr [23:03] binarydragon: i don't have a gui installed [23:03] it won't run if you don't have the dependencies [23:03] n1zjd_: just change the permissions for index.html [23:04] !permissions > n1zjd_ [23:04] n1zjd_, please see my private message [23:04] use aptitude [23:04] horseradish sauce is the best thing since fire [23:04] GMFlash: use aptitude [23:04] binarydragon: ... i did as stated in my original question [23:04] raw: sudo apt-get update , after sudo apt-get upgrade , if apt gives no errors, you should be fine [23:05] alraun1, thanks for your help very much! :) [23:05] I must say thats the one thing I dont like about ubuntu [23:05] and thank you histo [23:05] GMFlash:Dint notice,sorry but i must say that Aptitude only install extra files if they are need to complete a Successful installation [23:05] hi guys, plz see my post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=874159 [23:05] n1zjd_: linux permissions take a little getting use to. Once you understand why they are the way they are it will all make sense. [23:05] binarydragon: well in my case i don't want to run mod_php. it isn't critical to the operation of php [23:05] alraun1, thanks mate its fine. no errors found. === asac_the_2nd is now known as asac [23:06] histo [23:06] steel_lady_: yes? [23:06] GMFlash: Let aptitude install it and then uninstall it [23:06] well I think I understand why they are the way there are now....i just dont think its necessary [23:06] I could not read you, i disconnect every couple of mins [23:07] steel_lady_: ahh well what is filling up your hard drive? [23:07] histo I don't understand something here about my space [23:07] alraun1, I installed ubuntu as an application on windows. Is it ok to use it like that? or I must to format it and remove win*lows ? [23:07] nlzjd:Security is a big deal in the Linux world [23:07] ManualOverDozer8: Please ask before pm'ng [23:07] histo I think the disk messed up the partitions in some way [23:07] n1zjd_: it is trust me. [23:08] steel_lady: Run df -h and it will show you what is using most of your space [23:08] n1zjd_: no viruses addware etc... [23:08] hmm....thats right I didnt think about how changing permissions would affect what people could do to you online [23:08] hello everybody [23:08] raw: you can have it like this, but I would prefer a dual boot system then , because... [23:08] binarydragon, ok and now what? [23:08] alraun1, when pc starts I have 2 choices now. Windows and Ubuntu and I choose ubuntu for me and for my family they choose other. [23:08] raw: if one system brakes down, you'll still have the other, because... [23:09] histo:where is that site where you can paste output? [23:09] !pasate [23:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about pasate [23:09] !paste [23:09] 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) [23:09] steel_lady:paste your output there and give me the link http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:09] raw: u use a linux filesystem on a ntfs-partition [23:09] histo:thank you [23:09] alraun1, yes. === wathek is now known as Guest19494 [23:10] I get the following errors when attempting to boot with a new LTS 8.x install disk: [545.339475] invalid compressed format (err=1) [545.343400] kernel panic - not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (104,1) Suggestions?

[23:14] JJWilliams92: what problem ? [23:14] alraun1, yes but am not so good. It was saying to burn ubuntu as an image. I don't know how to do it so I burned it from Nero as a Data Disc which I think is the same.. err am not sure. [23:14] JJWilliams92, does it happen when you leave it alone for a while? [23:14] ok is there a way to switch between applications running in wine? [23:14] like an "alt+tab" for wine? [23:14] Sound comes on, if the Xorg.Conf is removed but without both screen and sound are dead.

[23:16] deker:not on the serve but the actual folder where you mounted the share, locally [23:16] yes [23:16] alraun1, i think it can work as a boot disc also. [23:16] I've tried that, alaraun1. [23:16] raw, just get the ISO and burn it with Infrarecorder http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ [23:16] the new permissions show up when i ls -la it [23:17] All that came up was a fading screen of pixels.

[23:21] GMFlash:thanks for sharing,glad you fixed it [23:21] JJWilliams92: I'm guessing that's 2400 and not 24000. A quick google suggests that you need the proprietary ati driver for that card to work properly [23:21] i install netspeed but i cant find where it is ? [23:21] how can i start it [23:22] ManualOverDozer8, what are you triying to insttall i can guide you though it iif you want ?

Once it is installed, you should be able to install the proprietary driver and get the graphics working properly [23:24] yuhaqya: in http://www.gnome.org/projects/netspeed/ Documentation & FAQ section it gives instructions [23:24] yuhaqya: It's not possible to start the applet from the commandline - you have to use the entry in the panel menu to start the applet.
