[00:13] Blaqlight:if I type my key in (hex) it just prompts me for it again after a minute or so [00:13] Qian; you could look in to using MAC address filtering.. i use it with no security.. then again where i live not much worry of leechers [00:13] i'm trying different desktops, window maker is neat, are there any other light-weight window managers that are cool too? [00:13] i never have got WEP to work in ubuntu. i just mac filter [00:14] Qian: its case sensitive. make sure your typing it right [00:14] bastid_raZor:hmmm, that's a good idea [00:14] I dont use any ftp [00:14] eross: flux/open/black-box [00:14] Blaqlight: in germany you will have big problems if someone is uusing your wep-wlan [00:14] Blaqlight:hex is case sensitive?

I recently ran into this [00:19] usr13; probably nvidia-glx-legacy .. search on packages.ubuntu.com for the actual name [00:19] usr13: the nvidia legacy driver [00:19] usr13: 'sudo apt-get install packagename' [00:19] usr13: apt-cache search nvidia legacy [00:19] zombieball: it's at 1280x1024. i want it higher. don't see an option that's higher in preferences-resolution [00:20] DIFH-iceroot: you have vbox with the latest kernel? [00:20] inspyre: yes [00:20] amd? [00:20] inspyre: 2.6.24-19 imo [00:20] amd64 i mean [00:20] inspyre: intel [00:20] you didnt get -20? [00:21] did you update the linux-ose-module..... ? [00:21] Kevin: have you tried sudo gnome-control-center [00:21] may be able to change the option in there [00:21] Kevin`: if you installed your graphic card's drivers and still cant get the higher resolution, you can add the desired resolution into xorg.conf imho [00:21] inspyre: dont know the kernel version at work [00:21] maybe works [00:21] kevin:sudo apt-get install gksudo displayconfig-gtk [00:21] DIFH-iceroot: uname -r [00:21] err uname -a [00:21] Leo: oh theres a seperate package? [00:21] Blaqlight: the pc is at work!!! [00:21] kevin: or edit xorg.conf as serkcan mentioned [00:21] sometimes you have to do it manually [00:21] kevin : got it ? [00:21] Blaqlight: i know uname -r but cant access the pc right now [00:22] DIFH-iceroot: don't yell at me please :( [00:22] Leo: i dont see that [00:22] do an uname -r to check the version [00:22] kindofabuzz, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 [00:22] Kevin`, run gksudo displayconfig-gtk and setup your monitor [00:22] Sylphid: thanks buddie [00:22] Blaqlight: then why you tell me "uname -r"? [00:22] ok one nasty question here, where hardy heron reads graphical infos? since xorg.conf is so empty :D [00:22] then from synaptic check the available linux-ose-modules [00:22] must be the same as your kernel [00:23] serkan: empty? that is strange, my /etc/X11/xorg.conf was populated [00:23]  serkan`c:empty ? [00:23] I see: nvidia-legacy-kernel-source & nvidia-glx-legacy [00:23] hello all [00:23] uname a is the correct command sorry. [00:23] Should I install both? [00:23] probably you have to restart [00:23] HappyHater: alraune zombieball those config gui's only list max 1280x1024 [00:23] second I didn't know you didn't have physical access to the machine in question. [00:23] of course it is not fully empty, but you know there is not any resolution info at first? [00:23] kevin:sudo apt-get install gksudo displayconfig-gtk [00:23] usr13; more than likely it'll install the first too.. install nvidia-glx-legacy [00:23] kevin : got it ? [00:23] Leo: you have amd64? [00:23] "uname -a" [00:24] Leo: its not there [00:24] no generic [00:24] Kevin`, in the displayconfig-gtk change the 'configured monitor' to your actual monitor [00:24] flash 10 is messing up for me, it looks all splotchy and has a bunch of white dots everywhere [00:24] Kevin: you may have to edit your xorg.conf manually, try what alraune says first though! [00:24] Ive really gotta stop misstyping my comments... [00:24] test [00:24] I ve got problems with virtualbox after last kernel update [00:24] to 19 [00:25] kevin : got it ? [00:25] Parallels + ubuntu HH don't like to play well sometimes either :P [00:25] from 2.6.24-18 to 19 [00:25] Leo: yes the kernel is -20 and vbox is -19 for me [00:25] alraune: testing [00:25] so you guys, do you have resolution values in xorg.conf? [00:25] has anyone know what i need to set as system architecture for apt-build for core 2 duo [00:25] ?? [00:25] serkan`c: yes [00:25] the module ...19 appeared few days later [00:25]  serkan`c:yup [00:25] DIFH-iceroot: from a fresh install?

[00:26] Has anyone use APT-BUILD> [00:26] serkan`c: my xorg.conf refers to another file elsewhere with a cryptic "Preconfigured Video Config" [00:26] zombieball: yes [00:26] ??

[01:46] so why does nautilus turn right back on after its killed [01:46] pist0l-fish: apt-cache search gdebi === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [01:46] nvidia [01:47] Boa Noite [01:47] hello [01:47] haha i guess gdebi is installed- I never tried it through gnome. I was just trying to deb install [01:47] eitreach: in a terminal type 'top' and check the top of the list. [01:47] Need help. This is the second webcam I have purchased that DOES NOT work in ubuntu. [01:47] Just a quick bit of info for the room [01:48] Anyone know of a font editor/creator for ubuntu that will edit .ttf fonts ? [01:48] Blaqlight: 357 eitreach 20 0 50496 33m 13m R 42 1.1 186:49.69 python [01:48] i dont know if this is the right place for this, but can anyone help with wine?

[01:48] I'm trying to get my new scanner to work under ubuntu... it's a Plustek WorldCard scanner and by typing lsusb in the terminal I see Plustek, Inc. listed, but xsane does not detect the scanner... anyone have any ideas? [01:48] hello, I need dire help with wine + ventrilo, if anyone can please help me out with it send me a message kindly. [01:48] pist0l-fish: to install packages from terminal its sudo apt-get install [01:48] I was trying to get real player to work inside my VirtualBOX on ubuntu and it wouldn't work at all, until I disabled the Vista Firewall [01:49] eitreach: right now python is using the most CPU and memory [01:49] tlove. find the wine irc. You will get much better help there. [01:49] Yes it's a Vista host [01:49] oh lawl [01:49] Blaqlight: yes.. I was just wondering if there was a known problem with Nautilus, seeing it used so much ram. [01:49] Why is Linux so USELESS with webcams? [01:49] Pelo: how can i see my fans RPM? [01:49] legend2440: i know, but i have .deb package a friend gave me and I don't normally use deb so I was trying to sudo apt-get install something to handle debs but i couldn't find it. It's okay, it's all good now [01:50] eitreach: not sure, are all of you gnome updates installed? [01:50] arcticpenguin, in the terminal type sensors , you can also install xsensors [01:50] I have two webcams. They just pug in to windows and god damn work. Ubuntu just doesn't work. [01:50] Blaqlight: yes. [01:50] are you using the 'proposed' branch of the repos? [01:50] LaserLine: what is the ID number assosiated with it when you do lsusb [01:50] pist0l-fish: use dpkg -i [01:50] anyways, i'm out- thanks. Next time I'll double-click in gnome before I assume I don't have something [01:50] not apt-get [01:50] Sydero: I understand. I thought dpkg was named deb for some reason [01:50] Windows doesn't even need drivers. They just work. But linux - Hours of rooting round and still can't get them to work. [01:50] arcticpenguin, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty check out this link under fancontrol , but get back to me before you do the fancontrol setup stuff, it's gotten much easier [01:50] OxFalcon, perhaps you want to pay someone to make your webcams work? [01:50] haha I know apt-get != dpkg [01:50] Blaqlight: yes. [01:51] what the command to fix the windows border for firefox anyone? [01:51] so noone knows how to kill nautilus and keep it killed? [01:51] dpkg -i is used to install .deb [01:51] Sydero: I understand :'( >_< [01:51] OzFalcon, perhaps you want to pay someone to make your webcams work? [01:51] k [01:51] kingjere: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 07b3:045d Plustek, Inc. (that's all it says) [01:51] grkblood: head into your session-options. Toggle the Restart off. [01:51] eitreach: you have the 'proposed' branch enabled? [01:51] I'm smelling something REAL fishy here [01:51] Blaqlight: yes.. [01:51] I think it has sth to do with the TCP/IP stack of the kernel [01:52] RandomUser, No thanks. Im competent enough with linux. But webcams are very poorly supported. [01:52] I've opened the aMule's port, but the port-test says it's open, but nothing is listening on it [01:52] eitreach: just a friendly suggestion, disable that, its can't ever be a good thing unless your actually debugging those programs. [01:52] Though i have aMule open [01:52] OzFalcon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams is useful too _before_ you buy a webcam [01:52] OzFalcon: then why are you ranting on a support channel, if you're so competent? [01:52] Blaqlight: alright. [01:52] brb [01:52] OzFalcon, maybe there's a project out there to that can assist you? [01:52] Really weird [01:53] eitreach: you probably installed a proposed update that isn't fully implemented yet. [01:53] rblst, yeah. looked at both those. [01:53] nobody familiar with usb printers here? :) [01:53] hmmm? [01:53] LaserLine: Do sudo scanimage -L [01:53] Codemaster, can i pm you ? [01:53] Ummm... [01:54] no [01:54] i haev a lot of problems i am trying to fix myself [01:54] kingjere: I tried that and it says No scanners were identified. [01:54] Isn't anybody willing to help me out troubleshoot this fishy situation? [01:54] Can anyone suggest a solid motherboard for me to buy, I currently run ubuntu on my IP35-pro board... but i want to set up a server [01:54] a situation involving fish eh [01:54] http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ [01:55] Drk_Guy: if I can't smell it, its no that bad... [01:55] Storrgie, who's the manufacturer of your board? [01:55] Codemaster, using scp as you said, this is the command scp -r sektor@www.selsovet.com:home/sektor/q2server . after asking password for user sektor, returns no such file or directory after [01:55] OzFalcon: does lsusb show the webcam as plugged in? [01:55] Blaqlight, There's something weird happening with the TCP stack [01:55] RandomUser: Abit ip35-pro... great board... but i dunno if i want to spend another 160$ on one [01:55] techsupport: add a / in front of home/sektor/... [01:55] hey the people in the wine irc are like not even on. If anyone has successfully got Ventrilo working with wine could you please help me out? I cannot seem to find/install the correct codecs or something. please help. [01:55] RandomUser: I bought a E7200 to go with this [01:55] Codemaster, tried that same thing [01:55] Storrgie, that [01:55] Blaqlight, i have open ports, but nothing is listening on them, no matter if open the programs or not [01:55] :( [01:56] Storrgie, that's a great board, why switch? [01:56] techsupport: you have to put a file before, as well [01:56] i want to build another board [01:56] another machine [01:56] techsupport: ie - scp -r ./ sektor@www.selsovet.com:/home/sektor/q2server [01:56] Drk_Guy: is there a firewall (firestarter) or router in between you an the internet? [01:56] tlove_, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=2169 [01:56] see this machine has 6 drives in it, i would like to house my media array in another machine [01:56] tlove_: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=2169 [01:57] Drk_Guy got there first [01:57] Storrgie, your best bet is the DG33TL from intel, Awesome board, and very stable [01:57] Blaqlight, i have a dlink router, Firewall turned off, only IpTables+Firestarter on [01:57] if i have multiple interfaces on my ubuntu box how do i tell it which interface to use for the default route? [01:57] Drk_Guy: I've done all of that, and it hasn't solved anything that i haven't already done. [01:57] Firestarter is indeed running? [01:57] RandomUser: not enough sata ports, I need a minimum of 6 but would like 8 [01:57] tlove_, Weird [01:58] Blaqlight, yup, and i'm being portscanned [01:58] lol [01:58] Blaqlight, lol, it's freenode's portscanner [01:58] anybody know how to get sound working? [01:58] Drk_Guy: in the gui for firestarter, is the process for your program showing? [01:58] !sound | graham [01:58] graham: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:58] Storrgie, get larger drives, and use a network attached storage device, or the Included E-Sata port [01:58] Drk_guy: well it says im missing the 6.10 codec. It wont even work. [01:58] Blaqlight, Yup [01:58] tlove_, Weird [01:59] RandomUser: i have 5x500 drives right now, i dont really wanna start building another array === tscolin is now known as _tscolin [01:59] drk_guy, i cant hear anyone or use my ptt button. [01:59] tlove_, try #winehq_social [01:59] drk_guy alright [01:59] Storrgie, then what's the issue? [01:59] Drk_Guy: so its going out according to iptables, start with your router [01:59] LaserLine: your scanner doesn't appear to be officially supported by sane. [01:59] Blaqlight, huh? [01:59] Drk_Guy: explicitly allow the program [02:00] LaserLine: per their website [02:00] Drk_guy, there is nobody in social. lol [02:00] dernet.org [02:00] Blaqlight, Ummm... dlink's firewall is turned off dude [02:00] connot watch youtube videos on firefox [02:00] can anybody help [02:00] In fact the product ID isn't listed. [02:00] did you installed Flash ? [02:00] yes [02:00] Drk_Guy: mine on my router is too, it still stopped things from going out [02:01] Codemaster, this worked better, but didnt copy contents of the directory of /home/sektor/ [02:01] Is flash in other website display properly ? [02:01] Blaqlight, so, should i activate DMZ? [02:01] no [02:01] techsupport: might be scp -R, then; take a look at the man pages [02:01] but its installed [02:01] RandomUser: i dont want to install the OS on the array [02:01] Drk_Guy: I still had to explicitly allow the program [02:01] Crldb, is it possible to run desktop effects in Ubuntu as a guest os in Virtual BOX? [02:01] anyone good with dovecot/LDAP in here? [02:01] the array will be OS independant [02:01] type about:plugins and see if flash is installed there [02:02] Blaqlight, Umm, that's like port-forwarding [02:02] Storrgie, is the OS on your current array? [02:02] i think -R doesnt work for scp, use -r [02:02] already did it is [02:02] RandomUser: nope, on a raptor drive [02:02] its shockwave [02:02] Drk_Guy: yeah [02:02] Drk_Guy: forward the ports [02:02] Shockwave Flash or Shockwave only ? [02:03] Blaqlight, i'm going to enable DMZ [02:03] legend2440, Yes. I have even got /dev/video0 but when I try and use it. Nothing is detected. [02:03] Storrgie, Don't know what to tell you, because that board would handle what you want, and so would plenty of other. [02:03] hello all [02:03] #club-ubuntu [02:03] currently shockwave only availabe for Windows [02:03] Codemaster, looking at man scp -r Recursively copy entire directories. [02:03] anyone good with dovecot/LDAP in here? [02:03] i think -R doesnt work for scp, use -r techsupport :D [02:04] shockwave flash [02:04] you can use rsync with ssh [02:04] serkan`c, using that, not copying the contents of directory [02:04] anyone good with dovecot/LDAP in here? [02:04] it must be [02:04] should i try something else [02:04] OzFalcon: have you tried the package called cheese its in synaptic... some have said that kind of kick started their webcams to start working for some reason [02:04] did you try opera ? [02:05] scp -r the_dir user@ip:/target_dir [02:05] techsupport: [02:05] opera? [02:05] no [02:05] Blaqlight, Can't find DMZ option [02:05] legend2440, tried cheese, camorama, mplayer, skype. Nothing works [02:05] serkan`c, scp -r ./ sektor@www.selsovet.com:/home/sektor/q2server/ [02:05] ugh @ d-link routers. [02:05] how do i getit [02:05] anyone good with dovecot/LDAP in here?

[02:07] help! I can't get my sound to work. alsamixer sliders are up, tried alsa in sound prefs, can't get anything [02:07] Drk_Guy: most people I know with d-link routers usually throw them away in favor of the windows firewall... its a sign of just how bad they really are. [02:07] Is there a net install disc avaliable for hardy? [02:07] Codemaster: what are you needing help with exactly? [02:07] Blaqlight, Umm, they use µclinux, right? [02:07] do i uninstall the shockwave first [02:07] porter: yup [02:07] lollydays: please run the alsa-info.sh script and tell me the url. [02:07] serkan`c, you wanna connect to my screen ? [02:08] jameslr: I'm having an issue with it where it tosses an error code 32 ("no such object") when dovecot queries ldap when the object most definitely exists (looking at it right now and it even responded properly to manual queries) [02:08] Blaqlight, BRB [02:08] I finally got 8.04 working... That took all day! [02:08] Drk_Guy: Ill brb in 5 minutes sorry. [02:08] techsupport: could be [02:08] before going to sleep :) [02:08] crimsun, will do [02:08] Codemaster: where does it error? What are you doing when it errors? [02:09] s33nagain: congratiolations.. we're all little weird [02:09] jameslr: simply trying to log into my dovecot imap server from thunderbird... i am viewing syslog on my mail box and ldap box [02:09] apparently 8.04 still has the foo2zjs bug.. [02:09] serkan`c, http://pastebin.com/m246f0ed6 [02:09] Just out of curiosity, how does one disable the entered the room, left the room prompts? [02:10] serkan`c, as you can see it only copied hidden files, but not contents such as other directories [02:10] techsupport: try like that [02:10] scp -r /home/orudie/* sektor@www.selsovet.com:/home/sektor/q2server/ [02:10] crimsun, http://pastebin.ca/1089126 [02:10] Hey everyone. I had recently turned on the option to group similar windows in the window selector bar "always" - now I can't remember how to turn it off. Does anyone know where this setting is? Thanks.

So at the time I had a 6.06 disc and a 7.04 disc. My options were get 7.04, upgrade to 7.10, then 8.04, or get 6.06 and upgrade to 8.04. SO I did number 2. But then It said it had an error getting the packages, so I had to download the alternative disc, and upgrade... whew! [02:12] so weirdbro techsupport [02:12] Pidgin [02:12] ops :D [02:12] serkan`c, can I do this with FTP ? [02:12] jameslr: i have a highly detailed LDAP log if you'd like to take a look [02:12] techsupport: dou you have GUI? [02:12] lollydays: you need a newer version of ALSA than what's distributed with linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r) [02:12] i meant is it server? [02:13] or dou have installed nautilus? [02:13] Blaqlight, Ok, enabled router's firewall and port-forwarded [02:13] s33nagain: this way, verybody gets an expert, lol [02:13] yay, fixed my printer.. now, if only I could remember wth I wanted to print in the first place..

[02:14] jameslr: http://www.pastebin.ca/1089129 [02:14] Blaqlight, gonna check [02:14] lollydays: you need to download and compile alsa-driver-1.0.17 from upstream's web site. [02:14] techsupport: ok then use natilus [02:14] Blaqlight, Still, low-id [02:14] *nautilus [02:14] lollydays: your using an old version of the kernel. [02:14] FLUbuntu: there's a pidgin plugin you can activate, called join/part hiding [02:14] Blaqlight, I'm still running gutsy because hardy has suspend problems with my laptop [02:15] lollydays: oh I C [02:15] is there any ubuntu equivalent to http://packages.debian.org? [02:15] mr_dallas: packages.ubuntu.com [02:15] Does anyone know the apt-get package for LAMP? I need to install it! [02:15] crimsun, uptream's site? [02:15] adam7: thankyou! [02:15] Drk_Guy: hmm this is quite perplexing. [02:15] lollydays: www.alsa-project.org [02:16] Blaqlight, now connections are timed-out [02:16] s33nagain: if you have synaptic you can use Edit -> Mark Packages by Task [02:16] techsupport: ? [02:16] Blaqlight, not refused, but timed out [02:16] serkan`c, i dont have it, i'm on windows connecting through putty [02:16] Drk_Guy: the request is going out but something isn't letting em back in [02:16] Yea but I don't know what the package's name is. [02:16] hmmm [02:16] crimsun, thanks [02:16] Hey everyone. I had recently turned on the option to group similar windows in the window selector bar "always" - now I can't remember how to turn it off. Does anyone know where this setting is? Thanks. [02:16] which could be firestarter now, [02:16] any help installing a printer? [02:17] techsupport: scp -r trick must work imho [02:17] adam7: Yea but I don't know what the package's name is. [02:17] i dont know where is the problem [02:17] lollydays: if you need assistance, ping me in #ubuntu-audio-help [02:17] Blaqlight, NAT is on, w/o it i can't browse internet [02:17] s33nagain: do that, and I think it'll be obvious [02:17] Graham: whats the problem [02:17] crimsun, sure, thanks [02:17] Drk_Guy: are the ports listed in policy in firestarter? [02:17] Blaqlight, Yup [02:18] s33nagain: if you go to edit -> mark packages by task, you'll see a thing that says LAMP server [02:18] nick ko_ko === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log === Rauzyth is now known as ko_ko [02:18] Blaqlight, Firestarter blacklisted amule.org [02:18] Drk_Guy: and your sure they are the right port/port ranges? [02:18] why does my /etc/network/interfaces get erased when i switch wireless to roaming mode? [02:18] Blaqlight, I'm getting alerts of traffic coming from it [02:18] adam7: :-D did not see that! [02:18] Drk_Guy: thats never good. [02:18] kindofabuzz: because, by default, network-manager takes over interfaces(5) [02:19] adam7: THANKS! [02:19] kindofabuzz: to prevent that, you'd need to explicitly add interfaces /without/ "auto iface .." [02:19] Drk_Guy: for purposes of this, disable firestarter [02:19] s33nagain: but for future reference, I think the package names are apache2, mysql-server, php5 [02:19] Blaqlight, It works fine [02:19] Blaqlight, if i disable FS, it works just fine [02:19] crimsun: well i'm trying to set a static ip and some wpa2 sttings, but once i get them set, wireless isn't even an option, so i have to put back onto roaming, then wireless works but without my settings [02:20] Drk_Guy: ok so firestarter is your problem [02:20] crimsun: i was following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 for WPA2 [02:20] Blaqlight, Reconfiguring it... [02:20] lol [02:20] Anyone know the best way to retrieve a lost password and login on hardy after it's installed? [02:20] adam7: ? I just want to install them at the same time,,, much easier! [02:20] xynthpop-> use the liveCD to set a new password [02:21] so reinstall basically amenado? [02:21] s33nagain: yeah -- sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 -- But I think the mark packages by task thing did it for you so you're all set :D [02:21] !lamp | s33nagain [02:21] s33nagain: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [02:21] xynthpop: boot into recovery mode from GRUB and run passwd USER from that prompt [02:21] xynthpop-> nope, you mount the / within the liveCD [02:22] thanks adam, thanks amenado [02:23] adam7: Thanks, I'll remember that! [02:23] legend2440: Thanks! [02:23] techsupport: i tried again in here, it is working [02:24] adam7: Just to be sure i've got it right, i type: >passwd USER and then i'll be able to change it? [02:24] xynthpop: yep. then type reboot to reboot [02:25] kewl [02:25] thanks again [02:25] no problem [02:25] Drk_Guy: any luck? [02:25] xynthpop: That's how I did it before we had X (or at least it was purposeful... 1999...) [02:25] Blaqlight, Had to fix a script because my system is in spanish ;) [02:25] Drk_Guy: nice [02:26] anyone know how to change the default routes interface [02:26] lol [02:26] i'd give it a try but i'm not too good at mounting things, lol [02:26] Crshman: like sudo route add default gw some_ip_here? [02:26] hi guys [02:26] thanks you guys [02:26] adam7, i tried that but it still uses the old interface [02:26] anyone have any luck with phillips gogear [02:26] and amarok sync [02:26] Blaqlight, Now firestarter is working fine [02:26] :) [02:26] Hey everyone.. is there any way to increase the DPI in Ubuntu? This issue has actually been one of the primary issues that I've strayed away from Ubuntu.. the screen resolution is set to 1280 x 1024, but it feels like 1024x768 because the fonts are so large, and there seems to be less screen space. In comparison to my windows box, Icon fonts are much smaller, and there seems to be more screen real estate. So again, [02:27] Crshman: I take it you have 2 interfaces up? [02:27] Drk_Guy: is the other program the same? [02:27] adam7, correct [02:27] yes hhp2k [02:27] does anyone have a cups printer shared over the internet and if so would you be willing to let me see your cupsd.conf? [02:27] it should be in your system settings [02:27] redacted of course ;) [02:27] Blaqlight, Now i have high id :D [02:27] Thanks Blaqlight [02:28] Drk_Guy: alright so your all good. [02:28] Blaqlight, :D [02:28] Sydero: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution doesn't have an option for DPI. Let me keep looking. [02:28] it would be under something like fonts [02:28] Sydero: Okay. Thanks. [02:28] I need to copy many hundreds of megabytes of files from an external drive to DVDs. The file should be stored in a file system on the DVD and not in some binary format. Any ideas on what tools I could use to do this? [02:29] Sydero: Appearance? [02:29] maybe [02:29] exactly in there [02:29] Sydero: The DPI setting is in Appearance > Fonts > Details [02:29] Sydero: In the fonts thing you could just lower the PT. [02:29] System-Preferences-Appeaence [02:29] Sydero: But it's set to 96 DPI, the same setting as windows. [02:30] Sydero: hhp2k beat me to it! [02:30] then just decrease the font sizes [02:30] serkan`c, you there still ? [02:30] hhp2k -- I just spent half a day playing with resolution settings using System - Preferences - Screen Resolution ... [02:30] techsupport: yeah [02:30] I thought i had installed ubuntu-studio with synaptic, but i just restarted the computer and it wasn't listed in hte session type?what do i have to do? [02:30] serkan`c, can i pm you ? [02:30] sure techsupport [02:30] LanceMartin: What was your goal? Anything? [02:31] CostaRicanQuaker: Ubuntu also uses GNOME... so it would be there. It should just install the theme and the Apps... [02:31] !info k9copy [02:31] k9copy (source: k9copy): DVD backup tool for KDE. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.2.3-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 1517 kB, installed size 3056 kB [02:32] I had the problem of linux not recognizing my screen -- so I changed monitors, seems to be working better but I am not sure if it is perfect. [02:32] Sydero: Decreasing the font sizes gives me the needed look and feel, but the actual screen size still feels too small. :\ [02:32] where the heck is the package for php5-mbstring? [02:32] cythrawll: lol, I read "mbstring" and thought of another word :P [02:32] I used unetbootin to make a USB boot disk from the 8.04 ISO. But when I reboot, I get 'Could not find kernel image: /ubnkern' ... any idea what's going wrong? [02:33] LanceMartin:you couldn't find your exact model in the list ? [02:33] CostaRicanQuaker: U there? [02:33] s33nagain: so if i logged on gnome ubuntu studio would showup? [02:33] Blaqlight: I assume the DVD backup tool was pointed at me? [02:33] I have the amd64 alternate installation iso downloading, If i install the 64bit veresion will I not be able to run 32bi fals and most imporantly codeweavers cros over office in order to run microsoft os Students and Teacher Addition 2003? [02:33] It should... If it doesn't look like it it is because the Studio theme isn't active... [02:33] ubuntu-cn [02:33] I want to join in the ubuntu-cn [02:33] lampliter: Im not sure if it would help but yeah possibly. [02:33] I made a change to /etc/hosts but now it seems that change is gone. Why is /etc/hosts getting overwritten and how do I prevent that? [02:33] roadfish-> can you mount your usb drive and look to see if it is there in the /boot/ ? [02:34] No -- odd too it was a Compaq pretty common brand. [02:34] porter: 32 runs in64 === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [02:34] s33nagain: ok i will brb, im gonna check it out [02:34] CostaRicanQuaker: Ill wait... ;-) [02:35] Blaqlight: thanks. I'm just trying to move files off of a portable drive onto a centos server that doesn't seem to have a working USB port. I could have my laptop sit there for days as it copies but, I really want my own machine back [02:35] amenado: yes, I have /ubnkern [02:35] huh, is there any problem in installing CPAN modules without using apt-get? [02:35] LanceMartin:wrtie nick when answering | you know the specs of the screen ? [02:35] hello, i have a quick question (i've searched google and the man pages but this is proving to be unnecessarily painful)... basically, i have vlc outputing images from my webcam, but, how would i make it save these images as png's and NOT open the vlc gui? [02:35] lampliter: ohh. I see [02:35] roadfish-> do you also have the device.map? go see where it is pointing at [02:36] cythrawll: libapache2-mod-php5, php5-cgi and php5-cli all have the mbstring extension built in [02:36] lampliter: you could setup some sort of sftp server on the other machine and do the transfers from anywhere. [02:37] amenado: I don't have device.map [02:37] does anybody know how i could profile/time suspend and resume so i can see what is taking time? [02:37] alraune Thank you for the tip ... it has been too long since I participated in a real IRC forum :) [02:37] s33nagain: it looks likeplain old gnome to me [02:37] I have the amd64 alternate installation iso downloading, If i install the 64bit veresion will I not be able to run 32bi fals and most imporantly codeweavers cros over office in order to run microsoft os Students and Teacher Addition 2003? [02:37] just a few new progs [02:37] roadfish-> then redo your grub install in the usb drive so you'd get that device.map [02:37] LanceMartin: you know the specs of the screen ? [02:37] lampliter: Im probably way off... just trying to think of a solution that would work. [02:38] CostaRicanQuaker: The new look is not used... Goto System>Prefs>Appearance and see if there is a new theme... That is it. [02:38] Hey guys, who is having this wsearch.net problem in Firefox?? === djhash_ is now known as djhash [02:39] Blaqlight: I am picking up the pieces from some people that didn't think the problem through. if they had just started copying the files from one Colo facility to another, they would have the files copied by now. But no, they put them onto a USB drive and shipped it overnight to the other facility where I was supposed to pull them off of the USB drive onto the destination server [02:39] Alraune I supposed I could have looked up the specs but I was having other problems too ... I might have been able to get the drivers, but in the end I just opted for the easy fix. [02:39] why is it that what I fit on a 441gig raid 5 partition (ext3 on debian etchy) won't fit on my new ubuntu system with a 463g raid 5 partition (ext3)? [02:39] Blaqlight: unfortunately, you can pull data off of this USB drive at a blistering rate of one to 1 1/2 megabytes per second. [02:39] and I had 4% free on the old (441gig) drive [02:39] lampliter: lol figures doesn't it? [02:40] only 400gigs used [02:40] but it's taking up 439gigs when I rsync it over to the new system [02:40] Bogus8: Because more than 4% is reserved on the filesystem for superuser [02:40] genii: ok, but why would it fit on one system and not another? [02:40] Blaqlight: it sure does. And that portable drive is almost full. So I thought, why not copy the data to DVDs and transfer them that way. Obvious that, that's not going to be an easy solution either. [02:40] CostaRicanQuaker: any luck? [02:40] being that the older system is smaller [02:41] amenado: ok, thanks. so I guess unetbootin doesn't automatically make a device.map file. [02:41] Bogus8: See my previous answer [02:41] genii: so ubuntu is different in that case? [02:41] Blaqlight: I think the right solution is go to bed, get to the cola facility before 7 a.m., shut down the machine that having problems and see if there's something wrong in the BIOS. I think this is one of those moments when the phrase "bloody hell" is totally appropriate [02:41] LanceMartin: no drivers, but your xorg.conf.. pastebin your /var/log/log/Xorg.0.log [02:41] genii: 400gigs of data is now taking up 439 gigs when I rsyned it over to ubuntu [02:41] lampliter: yeah sounds about right. [02:41] !paste >LanceMartin [02:42] LanceMartin, please see my private message [02:42] genii: measuring all this apples to apples (df -h to df -h) [02:42] lampliter: you'd be better off troubleshooting the hardware problem. [02:42] s33nagain: yes....hmmm, i don't know, i don't ever use gnome...i have kde and xfce installed which i usually log on to, i have only 248 mb memory...and it looks like gnome is set to beryl or compiz fusion.. === foka_ is now known as foka [02:43] CostaRicanQuaker: But isn't there a new theme in System > Prefs > Appearance? [02:43] how do i takeout the effex without it taking away the minimize, maximize, close, buttons and making everything completely unmanageable? [02:44] I'm also talking about ACTUAL used space... not "size" as I get that I could have a 463g partition be full at 439g... but I don't see how 400gigs on one system has now become 439gigs [02:44] yes there's a new theme i'm on it already, i mgiht actualyl start using gnome, however how do i take the effects [02:44] Good evening folks. I'm looking for a mechanism to be able to do keyboard macros (example, press a keyboard combination and have the system paste a prescribed block of text). Anybody know of somewhere to start? My searches on Google (after a few days) have led to some solutions on knoppix... but nothing in ubuntu (with gnome). [02:44] Hey guys, I was wondering how do I change the icon for a Launcher I created ? [02:44] I have a lot of SPRING BOARDS lol [02:44] how do i take out hte beryl or compiz or whatever without it messingup my system [02:44] CostaRicanQuaker: Goto the Visual Effects tab in Appearance in select "None". [02:45] Fungusman: right click on the icon, select properties [02:45] Hey guys, how do I close the buddy window in Ubuntu without exiting the program? (#pidgin isn't responding.) [02:45] Fungusman: then the box the with current icon in it, click it [02:45] Oops. [02:45] s33nagain: i've done that but hwat it causes is for gnome to not work, take away the title bars at the top of windows [02:45] Is there a tool under ubuntu to monitor the threads of a process? [02:45] Hey guys, how do I close the buddy window in Pidgin without exiting the program? [02:46] CostaRicanQuaker: Wait one moment... [02:46] kk [02:46] pi-meson: something like htop? [02:46] amenado: ok, I see what I did wrong ... during unetbootin, I didn't fill in the distro field. [02:46] Fungusman: can't change it after its created but as your creating new launcher click in the spring and choose one [02:46] Blaqlight: oh, htop will monitor threads? ok, i'll see if i can find the relevant setting. thanks! [02:46] CostaRicanQuaker: Do you have the option of "Custom"? [02:47] pi-meson: I don't know if thats it, it might though [02:47] where? [02:47] CostaRicanQuaker: In the Visual Effects Tab of Appearance... [02:47] oh ok lemme check [02:48] s33nagain: none, normal, extra, [02:48] Oh man do I ever feel stupid, thanks guys ! === Ahadiel is now known as Charazard [02:48] currently in normal === Charazard is now known as Yugi [02:49] i know that if i set it on none, it willtake away the top of windows and make everything unmanageable [02:49] Fungusman: my bad. you can change it after its created. right click launcher choose properties and click on the spring [02:49] gn folks [02:49] legend2440: just as I said from the beginning :P === Yugi is now known as Ditto === Ditto is now known as Raichu [02:49] Blaqlight: sorry missed your post [02:50] if i want to change a machine's hostname and domain, do i only have to change it in /etc/hosts or are there other places i need t ochange it as well ? [02:50] CostaRicanQuaker: I'm not sure... That actually happend to me once in Fedora... I upgraded with the effects on, and that happend. I suggest finding out what package Compiz is and uninstalling it... Unfortunately I don't know what that is... [02:50] If I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, will it rediscover hardware, overwrite xorg.conf, etc? === Raichu is now known as Ash-Ketchum [02:50] legend2440: its all good :P [02:50] s33nagain: i think it's necessary to reset the kwin or something like that there was some command i had been given once [02:51] !nickspam > Ash-Ketchum [02:51] Ash-Ketchum, please see my private message [02:51] oh sorry [02:51] MrNaz: and /etc/hostname as well [02:51] but this came with hardy's default config [02:51] glitsj16 thanks [02:51] Hi [02:51] !cookie | Blaqlight [02:51] Blaqlight: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [02:51] * Blaqlight eats the cookie! [02:52] !beer [02:52] Beer is always appreciated. [02:52] anyone got some time to help me set a static ip? whenever i set it in interfaces along wiht other wpa2 settings i don't even get an option for wireless in NM, i have to set to roaming mode which in turn deletes the settings i just set in interfaces! help! =) [02:52] Could someone explain to me how I don't need to set the backlight every time i start my laptop? [02:52] I've got some problems with slow file transfers with BOTH nfs and samba [02:52] CostaRicanQuaker: I don't know, I hate to say... sorry! Tyr someone else here, or try the forums... Somebody must have the solution. [02:53] !beer [02:53] Beer is always appreciated. [02:53] !cookie [02:53] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [02:53] HEloo [02:53] hi [02:53] Wondering if anyone could help with a Feisty>Gutsy upgrade, after clicking the upgrade received failed to fetch archive.canonical.....package.gz something like that. [02:53] !cookie eat [02:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about cookie eat [02:53] Hi [02:53] !hi [02:53] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:53] !name [02:53] Ubuntu has awesome release codenames. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames for more [02:53] Thanks [02:54] hell all [02:54] !!quit [02:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about quit [02:54] !quit [02:54] hello all [02:54] !msgthebot [02:54] Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [02:54] hello -- i am just setting up my file-server -- hoping to install ubuntu server on a 1gb flash card -- possible? [02:54] does anyone know how I can diagnose slow nfs shares? [02:54] or do i need to use something like freenas === chuck_ is now known as TheChuckster [02:55] Alright, how about this one, I need to replug my sound system everytime i restart my laptop because it use the default inbuilt one unless i replug [02:55] alms - all I can say is that 1gb is too small for ubuntu as default [02:55] hey im a veteran linux user (Gentoo) but im new to Ubuntu [02:55] which nvidia drivers do I need to install? [02:55] i don't know whether i want the "new" drivers or the regular drivers? [02:56] Guess its only one? [02:56] well -- i just want samba, basic kernel, and probably a virtual host [02:56] also, why isn't the kernel compiled for low latency preemption by default? [02:56] I think you can download it from Nvidia's homepage, it contains support for almost every card [02:56] While I am here is there a program that allows me to simply dial a telephone number through the modem ... for use with a database program ...? [02:56] i want to do software raid 1 and would like my filesystem to be encrypted? [02:56] i'd rather use synaptic Needsomehelp [02:57] some suggestions on the boards to people with similar problems mentioned sources list? (I am not advanced user), so i'm not sure why packages file cant be fetched [02:57] Oh [02:57] How do I make an icon for ubtunu [02:57] i just need to know the difference between the "new" drivers and the regular drivers [02:57] It's not ICO it is SGI [02:57] gimp doesnt seem to support it [02:57] Fungusman: using Gimp [02:57] I'm quite new to Linux [02:57] IT doesnt save to .gi [02:57] anyone got some time to help me set a static ip? whenever i set it in interfaces along wiht other wpa2 settings i don't even get an option for wireless in NM, i have to set to roaming mode which in turn deletes the settings i just set in interfaces! help! =) [02:57] sorry, .sgi [02:57] I'm trying to wipe a hard drive. So I wanted a format to make 10+ sweeps of the drive to make sure the data was destroyed what program do I use? [02:57] TheChuckster: I don't know for sure, but I'd guess the new drivers are later releases than the regular drivers [02:57] Kindofabuzz [02:57] Needsomehelp, oh okay... i've used Gentoo, Mandrake, and Fedora for a while [02:57] I do [02:58] so I'm pretty experienced with Linux... just not Ubuntu [02:58] yay ibex. [02:58] how do i know if my wireless card is running in full-duplex? [02:58] Needsomehelp: ? [02:58] Click on the "two-screen" in top nav, and unlock, choose Static and enter details [02:59] Network tab/icon [02:59] does anyone by chance know the escape character you use to make an ANSI character in python? [02:59] If you got an router, this could take some more time depending on how you have prepared it [02:59] anybody know how to paste a block of pre-typed text from a keyboard shortcut (for example, for email... I have a couple of different signatures that I use in different contexts... work, independent contracting, home, friends, family) and I'd like them to be available (like I have on my windows box) from a few keypresses (my keyboard shortcuts are alt+`, alt+1, alt+2, alt+3 ... etc) I've figured out that if I'm not running K [02:59] Needsomehelp: when i do that i don't even have wireless anymore, i need to set in /etc/network/interfaces [02:59] AndrewGearhart: glipper might be able to do that, or kipper for KDE. [02:59] Gimp does not save to SVG ... how would I make an icon? [03:00] Fungusman inkscape [03:00] Pici: a glimmer of hope! /me googles glipper as I'm running gnome [03:00] Hmm I'm sure I bypassed it on Google, apart from that I can't really help you any further, I'm quite new to LInux [03:00] My error: if anyone knows what this means: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/partner/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) [03:00] Needsomehelp: but when i set in that file, i have no wireless option in NM, so i have to set to raom just to get wireless again, which in turn deletes the settings i just set in that file [03:00] AndrewGearhart: Its in the repositories if you want to install it, [03:01] NM is so screwry, i hope it's better in Intrepid [03:01] guestadmin_ sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* , and try again [03:01] Ok, trying to grow my ubuntu legs... how would one mount an image created by clonecd? (ccd/cue/img/sub) Ive tried 'sudo mount -t iso9660 ...' but it says wrong file system. Im sure there is a trick, but it eludes me [03:02] kindofabuzz: I'm sorry I don't really know any more, I used the GUI with some basic inputs today, that's it, but I am very new to Linux/bash/command lines things [03:02] Needsomehelp: sorry i don't understand your sound question. are you trying to change the default soundcard? [03:02] nickrud ok, sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* ... I'll try, Im guessing that removes all my lists? [03:02] Legend2440, Nono, let me explain further [03:02] guestadmin_ yes. I've had that before, and removing those worked [03:02] guestadmin_ ahem: Works for Me™ [03:02] nimo: a ccd/cue/img/sub is a image file, not a cd filesystem. thats why its failing. [03:02] nickrud ok, well here goes [03:03] my system just randomly went to the cmd prompt, how do i get back to the GUI? [03:04] Amerikaner if you hit clt-alt-function key, clt-alt-f7 will get you back [03:04] Amerikaner: CTRL ALT F7 [03:04] Legend2440, everytime I restart my laptop, it uses the default speaker in my laptop instead of the extrenal onces, In order for them to work I replug them in the sound input everytime, isn't there a way to set the external speakers to deafult so I don't have to replug everytime? [03:04] nickolaus there is a package in synaptic named wipe [03:04] Pici: can you tell me what the difference is between the System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager and Applications>Add/Remove Programs ? [03:05] Blaqlight, Im not sure I really understand the difference. It is a binary dump of what is on the disk. The main image is the .img file, which even windows can mount like an ISO (even if it isnt actually). What is my solution? I could probably convert it to a .iso, but I was hoping to keep the subdata intact [03:05] AndrewGearhart: Add/remove does not have all packages. There are few/no command line applications and no libraries, things that arent executable. [03:05] hmmm the song i had playing came back but now theres a long list of networkmanager crap and no gui [03:05] nickrud, tried what you said, and this is the error i get: rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/apt/lists/partial': Is a directory [03:05] AndrewGearhart: But everything installs from the same source, the ubuntu repositories using apt-get [03:05] guestadmin_ ls /var/lib/apt/lists/partial, it should be empty. Thats all good if so [03:05] ok, my wireless network seems to be running at only 1Mb. How do I change that to 54Mb? [03:05] dglkn: get closer to the router? [03:06] tried that already [03:06] i have the settings on the router set to 54Mb as well [03:06] nimo: one second Im looking [03:06] dglkn: sudo iwconfig INTERFACE_NAME rate 54M where INTERFACE_NAME is the name of your interface [03:06] when i try to connect to an open network, the netmanager applet icon in the task bar shows one green dot then fails to connect. is there a way to ifnd out why its not connecting? [03:07] Why is it that what took up 400gigs on my ext3 raid 5 on etchy is not trying to take up 439gigs on my ext3 raid 5 on hardy? [03:07] where's the system monitor? [03:07] k i'll try that [03:07] Blaqlight, I appreciate it [03:07] Needsomehelp: oh ok i see. sorry i am not familiar with sound issues for laptops [03:07] nickrud, after typing ls /var/lib/apt/lists/partial I received this: archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy_partner_binary-i386_Packages [03:07] Alright, no problem Legend2440 thanks for your time though [03:07] nimo: whats the exact command your issuing? [03:08] the noob command. [03:08] guestadmin_ yep, remove that one as well (I'd forgotten about the partial directory, must have used rm -r * when I did the fix) [03:09] ok, now is there a daemon that needs restarted? [03:09] dglkn: shouldn't bee [03:09] be* [03:09] i finally have all my pieces for my file server and am ready to boot up -- i have a one gig flash card on an ide adapter -- two sata drives -- want to run a file server + ssh + virtual login + encrypted file system -- should i use ubuntu or freenas or openfiler or freebsd? [03:09] does anyone here use mhWaveEdit? It says it supports all files, but i can't play any files back without it saying that the sound format isn't supported. [03:09] mondayrocks: if thats towards me, it was uncalled for, and completely unnessesary. [03:09] nickrud, so i now type sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* ?Like that? [03:09] oh no. I just thought it was a silly response. [03:10] what's the command to output your video cards possible resoluton so you can add it to the grub with vga=### ? [03:10] guestadmin_ yes, or sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* will work [03:10] Blaqlight, 'sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/nimo/disk_images/rct/rct.img /mnt/vcdrom0' [03:10] Pelo xrandr ? [03:10] unless you are a noob, Blaqlight... You're not a noob are you? [03:10] I created /mnt/vcdrom0 via 'sudo mkdir /mnt/vcdrom0' [03:10] adam7? [03:10] alms: I don't know what "virtual login" is, but ubuntu can do all the other stuff there [03:11] xynthpop: yep [03:11] you're not gonna believe this [03:11] nickrud, almost , gives out a list of res with the appropritate 3 digit code , so you can change the res of the consol [03:11] i forgot the command you just told me [03:11] *^_^* [03:11] adam7, whab about on a 1GB flash drive [03:11] mondayrocks: refer to my comment above. [03:11] ? [03:11] xynthpop: haha, you got a pencil? :P cat /etc/passwd | less [03:11] i get this: NetworkManager: DHCP daemon state is now 3 (renew) for interface eth1, and then i cant get back to the GUI, any ideas? [03:11] yeah [03:11] lol [03:11] thanks [03:11] mondayrocks: Please keep comments like that to yourself. [03:11] xynthpop, if you used it once, just press up a few times =p [03:11] lol [03:11] alms: shouldnt' be a problem, I don't think. I don't know what the minimum install size for ubuntu-server is [03:11] the ubuntu people are uppity. [03:12] when i try to open a file on xine it won't play, as in it plays but there's no sound [03:12] nimo: that looks right. [03:12] nickrud, might have to do with framebuffers [03:12] CostaRicanQuaker, did you make sure the volume is up? Are you using OSS? [03:12] yes [03:12] thanks Kohlrak, i hadn't used it yet [03:12] Pelo never ran across that one, I've always used http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html [03:13] just forgot to write it down [03:13] nickrud, now how do i upgrade to gutsy? my orange star in the upper right corner disappeared [03:13] how do i get rid of the screen that shows the waves of sound [03:13] it's playing now [03:13] what waves of sound? [03:13] guestadmin_ sudo apt-get upgrade will repopulate that dir [03:13] nimo: my thought is that mount doesn't like to mount .img files for some reason. Im still looking for a solution [03:13] there's another window other than the player [03:13] Pelo or some page with the same chart anyway [03:13] adam, what about the encrypted file system -- can that work with raid 1 (software raid) [03:13] that has these colourful soundwaves that move [03:14] with the sound [03:14] i want ot get rid of that [03:14] how is ubuntu w/ overclocking? [03:14] I have a windows smb share that gnome hardy won't access. My other computers/ps3 can. Any suggestions? [03:14] well, ther's alt f4... CostaRicanQUaker [03:14] does anyone know how to enable (if possible) the firefox crash reporter for the version of firefox 3 that gets shipped with 8.04 ? [03:14] !twss-#ubuntuforums [03:14] That's what she said! [03:14] nickrud, getting close [03:14] nimo: you can try to mount without the -t option and let it try to guess the filetype... [03:14] #omgjdong [03:15] !omgjdong [03:15] jdong: You're going to hell. [03:15] !msgthebot [03:15] Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [03:15] Ok that's enough... [03:15] Pici: well... glipper is close... I'm trying to avoid using the mouse... keeping closer to the keyboard... with snippets in glipper... I could select the block of text ... but I want to stick to the keyboard as much as possible (trying to regress away from the windows "grab the mouse" mentality) [03:15] s33nagain you took the words out of my mouth ;) [03:15] whats this world coming to when even the bot curses. [03:15] sorry... :'( [03:15] is there a way to get gnome to open things with a single click? [03:16] nickrud, ok, did sudo apt-get upgrade, message was basically: Reading package lists...Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [03:16] Blaqlight, what's a curse and what not is purely speculation. Some languages don't have curse words. [03:16] CostaRicanQuaker: Yes, one sec === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:17] What do you do ? [03:17] I have a windows smb share that gnome hardy won't access. My other computers/ps3 can. Any suggestions? [03:17] guestadmin_ dohy, I should have said sudo apt-get update , sorry [03:17] Kohlrak: sure but if my 5 year old learned a new word on here by reading it on screen Id be quite mad, especially if I thought this channel was supposed to be family friendly. [03:17] guestadmin_ working on something else at the same time, and not giving you enough attention. Sorry again [03:17] what does this mean.....Debian users may use the power of apt-get to apt-get install ayttm; you just need to have the unstable tree configured in your sources.list [03:17] hello nickrud [03:18] Blaqlight, i'm sure he'll learn a few words words than the name of a place if he hangs around here too long. Lots of words can fly. [03:18] nickrud, no prob ;) [03:18] hello guestadmin [03:18] mhWaveEdit complains about sound format incompatability with playing wave files. Anyone know why? i tried to google the problem but no results. [03:18] l3d it means you have a debian source in your sources.list, which is not compatible with ubuntu. However, that package is in the ubuntu repos, so continue on :) [03:19] helllo liuzhouping [03:19] CostaRicanQuaker: Goto an open file browser, got Edit > Prefs. Then Goto the behaviour tab. [03:19] right but the yahoo protocal is out of date and wont work [03:19] open file browser? [03:19] like gnome's dolphin? [03:20] Like browse a folder, open a folder. [03:20] I don't know what you said? [03:20] l3d bummer. Do not use the debian repo. Ubuntu takes a snapshot for of unstable and builds on it for each release, but they fundamentally are not compatible [03:20] ok [03:20] e.g. Places > Documents... THen hit edit > Prefs > Behavour [03:20] l3d bummer. Do not use the debian repo. Ubuntu takes a snapshot for of unstable and builds on it for each release, but they fundamentally are not compatible [03:20] !prevu | l3d you may be able to use this [03:20] l3d you may be able to use this: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [03:21] s33nagain: thankyou [03:21] nickrud, or anyone out there, wow got some errors, dont want to paste them here, too long, what to do [03:21] CostaRicanQuaker: did it work? [03:21] !pasetbin | guestadmin_ [03:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about pasetbin [03:21] nickrud, thanks, I looked around some more , and decided to get the value from the site you gave me , but I know there was a command to outpout what is available on your card , I'll find it again someday , thanks [03:21] guestadmin_ put the output on paste.ubuntu.com [03:21] !pastebin | guestadmin_ [03:21] guestadmin_: 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) [03:22] s33nagain: yep, how come swiftweasel is faster than both opera and firefox? i would imagine opera to be faster...i am even considering getting rid of opera as it takes a lot of memory for the most [03:22] liuzhouping hm, why did you repeat my line? [03:22] CostaRicanQuaker, it's probably because it's firefox only optimized. [03:22] CostaRicanQuaker: Never heard of SwiftWeasel... [03:22] sorry , [03:23] liuzhouping this is a help channel for ubuntu. If you are interested in chatting, #ubuntu-offtopic is our chat channel [03:23] um i was wondering how to put nautilus on AWN...because its useful. thanks [03:23] Hey guys. I just installed 8.04, got my video card drivers set up and installed wine. If I try and install any .exe, my video scrambles and its imposible to see anything. Does anyone know whats going on? [03:23] s33nagain: should i get rid of opera and firefox? i'm getting computer stuckage from opera...evenon xfce [03:24] any bicycle riders in here [03:24] Suttin: try #winehq [03:24] Sutten, it's probably the video preferances [03:24] ok, thanks Seb [03:24] any bicycle riders in here private message me [03:24] CostaRicanQuaker: I personally Think Opera isn't that good, the only upside to it (for me) is the Bittorrent support built in... I would. [03:24] newbe1 I know some cyclists hang out in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:24] !no [03:24] Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [03:24] and no, don't bother with winehq, i've had trouble with people being total rear ends in there [03:24] CostaRicanQuaker: because swiftweasel is compiled for highest speed, firefox is compiled for smallest binary size & SW is highly processor optimized [03:25] cool [03:25] oh sorry meant to do something else about offtopic... [03:25] ok, how do i get rid of opera? [03:25] is ubuntu still doing the free shipping of cd's? [03:25] sudo aptitude remove opera? [03:25] sudo apt-get purge opera [03:25] Synaptic of Add/remove Programs. [03:25] or [03:25] what's the difference between purge and remove? [03:25] Riyonuk: AFAIK [03:25] sudo apt-get remove --purge opera, isn't it? [03:25] purge should get rid of some config files to [03:25] no this works [03:26] sudo apt-get purge opera [03:26] ok I pasted my output from sudo apt-get update here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32832/ although just out of the clear blue, the orange update star returned, when update manager opened, message: Not all updates can be installed, run partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible [03:26] CostaRicanQuaker: Purge removes the caches. When you uninstall a program, the files you downloaded to install it remain in case you want to re-install it [03:26] how do i double check that everythign has been imported from opera to swiftweasel? [03:26] What do think is better? GNOME Office, KOffice, or OpenOffice? [03:27] CostaRicanQuaker: either check the plugins menu (whever that is) or try out the plugins by visiting pages where they would be goodly tested [03:27] guestadmin_ ok, now put /etc/apt/sources.list on the pastebin. We'll fix those to clear the errors from the update [03:27] s33nagain: open office [03:27] !s33nagain > offtopic [03:27] offtopic, please see my private message [03:27] CostaRicanQuaker: You could just goto Apps > Add/remove and then uncheck Opera... === PV1 is now known as PrivateVoid [03:27] !purge [03:27] w00tz: Type about:crashes into Firefox's address bar, and you can see a list of your browser crashes, when they happened, and click on them to get details of what happened. [03:28] sorry [03:28] * CostaRicanQuaker loves swiftweasel [03:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about purge [03:28] purge removes all the configs as well as the program [03:28] * Kohlrak wants to know why mhWaveEditor won't play wave files. [03:29] How do u do that thing where it is "***USERNAME [action]"? [03:29] s33nagain /me . Also, try looking up irc commands on google, but don't test them here. [03:30] After you type s33nagain /me, do you type the [action]? [03:30] s33nagain: just type /me action [03:30] s33nagain, yes....................... [03:30] /me kicks s33nagain ;) [03:31] I am using ubuntu 8.04 and need to know where the REAL xorg log file is when it goes into "failsafe" mode [03:31] Why didn't it work or Nickrud? [03:31] for [03:31] s33nagain because the / wasn't in the very first column of my line [03:31] s33nagain: he put a space in front of /me -- this might be better in #offtopic :) [03:31] anyone have experience with "cpufreq-selector" and boottime script? [03:31] s33nagain, the / has to be first for all irc commands. a space can set it off. [03:31] sorry again [03:31] nickrud, ok after typing cd /etc/apt and then gedit sources.list, i copied and pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32837/ [03:32] * s33nagain will start being more on topic [03:32] guestadmin_ excellent way to do it, by not using gksu gedit you got it read only [03:32] hooray. [03:32] it works [03:33] hello folks [03:33] guestadmin_ are you trying to upgrade to gutsy or hardy? [03:33] mhWaveEditor, anyone use it? Can anyone suggest a wave editor that works? [03:33] had a quick question the internets cannot answer [03:33] nooblar! [03:33] Why is it that what took up 400gigs on my ext3 raid 5 on etchy is not trying to take up 439gigs on my ext3 raid 5 on hardy? [03:33] refrax the internets can answer anything [03:33] I have an external hdd, and I share a folder on there, however, whenever I reboot the system, it comes unshared. what gives? [03:34] HArdy HEron btw [03:34] guestadmin_ ? [03:34] Bogus8, it helsp if we knew more about the file =p [03:34] Hey question guys, do anyone know of a way to have a smb share mount on boot without the need of manually entering a password and using smbmount [03:34] nickrud, to gutsy first then maybe hardy in a few months [03:34] guestadmin_ ok. [03:34] Kohlrak: it's a pile of files... I'm rsyncing them from one box to another [03:36] Bogus8, could have something to do with how etchy handles the files. Or maybe ubuntu is better at aligning the files. It could also be from the fact that ext3 is a journalizing system so to prevent the need of defragment, files can take up large empty spaces [03:36] newbie here on a fresh install... how do i know if everything is running optimally? for example, scrolling is a tad sluggish... how2 video driver (or is that not the issue) [03:36] Kohlrak: the ubuntu box is the one that is taking up more space [03:37] Kohlrak: what I have is etchy with a 441g raid 5 using "96%" at 400g [03:37] Bogus8, could be the other way around. It could also be a temp transfr thing too. [03:37] Kohlrak: I'm putting all these files on a raid 5 array of 463g and it's filling up and maxing out at 439g with only the exact same files [03:37] excuse me, but would anyone happen to have any info on connecting a sansa fuze in MTP mode (connecting it like a sansa view won't work) [03:38] oh stupid me, I went to the wrong room [03:38] Bogus8, maybe etchy had something ubuntu doesn't. [03:38] Kohlrak: how do you mean? [03:38] should be in #amarok [03:39] Bogus8: with open source operating systems, nothing should surprise you. Sometimes nifty and cool features are added without anyone really taking notice. Maybe it was a compressable feature that got turned on. [03:40] Kohlrak: hmmm, that wouldn't make sense... it's straight ext3 ... I would have had to turned on compression which I am MOST postitive I never did [03:40] Bogus8: another thing it could be is the file transfer program you're using. [03:40] guestadmin_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/32841/ <-- these are clean, and readable ;) [03:41] Kohlrak: rsync [03:41] anyone have any ideas why a shared folder on a USB harddrive comes unshared on reboot? [03:41] does anybody know how i could profile/time suspend and resume so i can see what is taking time? [03:41] Kohlrak: to be more exact rsync through ssh [03:41] guestadmin_ if this is going to be used for a feisty to gutsy upgrade, I suggest commenting out the backports and partner during the dist-upgrade [03:41] Bogus8: who knows? I know one thing, i program with assembly and i've learned not to be surprised. Maybe ubuntu has a backend that forces some kind of alignment. [03:43] Kohlrak: that's cool... I appreciate you trying to help me figure this out. I'll probably ask again a little later to see if someone might know exactly what is going on... hope you don't take offense to that [03:44] Bogus8: believe me. some things that aren't turned on by hardware even though they're supported are often supported. To make up for this, the OS (for whatever reason, maybe to help make another feature) will emulate something in the hardware. Rather bloated, but i've seen it alot. *ESPECIALLY* in windows. [03:45] nickrud, so i will have to do: cd /etc/apt then sudo gedit sources.list, then replace what I have with what you pasted on paste.ubuntu.com/32841, then save? Also how do i uncomment the backports and partner, (And whats the backport and partner?) Yes I know, somewhat beginner ;) [03:45] Kohlrak: yeah, but linux especially debian isn't about implementing things like compression on hard drives by default... that would be a huge performance issue that debian wouldn't put in place by default [03:45] guestadmin_: to uncomment, you remove the # from the front of the line [03:45] hello, i'm trying to get multiple webcams to work on a computer through a usb hub but if i start viewing one camera i can't see the other (i think it's because the hub makes it so both webcams are operating on the same usb bus)... i was wondering if there were any workarounds or potentially another kind of hardware usb hub (maybe a usb switch?) to make this work [03:45] I have a kodak micro SD card and I can't seem to edit the card in any way. [03:46] nickrud, thanks, will do, oh and i found backports and partner, wow i feel stupid, ..or just really really tired [03:46] guestadmin_ a few things, most important first: always use gksu with gedit, or any other gui gnome app. Second, yes, just replace yours with mine. And third, putting a # at the beginning of a line comments it out (see the cdrom line for an example_ [03:46] Bogus8: not to mention, ubuntu is clearly a very bloated version of linux, not as bloated as windows, but still bloated. A few cheap fixes could have been made while people forgot to go back and fix them. I heard the standard linux kernel is full of that. [03:47] Kohlrak: I'm running server and I have VERY miniumum installed... that's how I start almost all my linux installs [03:47] anyone got a fix for network manager not auto connectiong with security on? i actaull have to choose Connect to other wireless and go from there. [03:47] I have a kodak micro SD card and I can't seem to edit the card in any way. PS It's a fat16 format [03:47] Kohlrak: this is a headless system, no X11 nothing like that to get bloated [03:48] adam7, are you around? [03:48] nickrud, ok, will replace sudo with gksu when using gedit [03:48] !gksu > guestadmin_ (this is why, couldn't remember the trigger right off) [03:49] bogus8: just because x is gone, it doesn't mean it's not bloated. Bloat doesn't just mean fancy bells and whistles. Bloat means code that isn't the best in the world. [03:49] nickrud: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) (0) [03:49] !gksu > guestadmin_ [03:49] guestadmin_, please see my private message [03:50] Kohlrak: understood [03:50] hey how do I install .su files [03:51] when i switch to using the binary nvidia driver, it messes up the display of all my screen fonts... is anyone familiar with this and know how to stop it from happening? [03:51] I just upgraded my hard drive and I can't resize my partition with my livecd... I can resize my swap just fine but can't do anything with my / partition. can someone give me a hand? [03:51] Can someone help me debug why I can't seem to get Audio Input from my mic? I am able to hear things fine but I don't know how to set up my microphone. I have been using audacity to test. [03:51] But I am not sure what to put as my input device. [03:51] anyone got a fix for network manager not auto connectiong with security on? i actaull have to choose Connect to other wireless and go from there. === zonum_ is now known as zonum [03:51] Bogus8: i'll see you later. the people on right now can't help with my problems, so i'm gonna go watch tv. try not to worry about the space gain too much if you have the extra space. Stuff like this happens. [03:52] hey how do you install .su files??? [03:52] ubotto, thx [03:53] says theres no command associated with it [03:53] ozzy: what's an .su file? [03:53] where did you get it? [03:53] I have a kodak micro SD card and I can't seem to edit the card in any way. PS It's a fat16 format [03:53] its a type of install file for linux [03:53] ozzy: no, otherwise you could install it [03:53] ozzy: linux typically does not use .su [03:53] is there a converter for it? [03:54] ozzy: where did it come from? [03:54] ok nickrud, new sources.list file is now in place [03:54] its from the vendetta web site [03:54] for a game [03:54] guestadmin_ ok, sudo apt-get update [03:55] how can I set dolphin as file manager default instead of the normal ubuntu one? [03:55] ozzy: i just google .su, nothing, i don't think it's a valid extension [03:55] hmms [03:55] thanks [03:55] ozzy could you give us the exact link, so we can see what you're talking about [03:55] sure [03:55] I just upgraded my hard drive and I can't resize my partition with my livecd... I can resize my swap just fine but can't do anything with my / partition. can someone give me a hand? [03:56] iso file type is no longer listed in Brasero.. any ideas? I'm trying to create an iso from a disk, I've done this before but out of no where the option to write to iso is gone [03:56] http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/download is where it came from [03:56] by default will rsync -a follow symlinks? [03:56] ozzy: that's an .sh [03:57] ozzy: Are you sure its not file.sh and not su? [03:57] nickrud, ok, all seemed fine as far as i can tell, to be sure, here was the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32844/ [03:57] ozzloy you mean .sh ;) [03:57] yeah woops lol [03:57] sh lahksdf.sh [03:57] sh file.sh [03:57] guestadmin_ that's right, you're good to g [03:57] ozzy the page has instructions at the bottom [03:57] yeah so how do i get it to work? [03:57] anyone got a fix for network manager not auto connectiong with security on? i actaull have to choose Connect to other wireless and go from there. [03:57] ozzy: read [03:58] To install Vendetta, type sh ./vendetta-linux-x-installer.sh. You do not need to be root; install it under your usual account. [03:58] nickrud, ok, ill try again to upgrade, fingers crossed, bit scared, well here goes ;) [03:58] if you would've read the page [03:58] I have a kodak micro SD card and I can't seem to edit the card in any way.

Run a partial upgrade , to install as many updates as possible, This can be caused by: A previous upgrade which didnt complete, Unoficcial packages not providd by ubuntu, Normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu....

[04:04] by default will rsync -a follow symlinks? [04:04] Flannel is there any howto or what would you suggest to do [04:04] CostaRicanQuaker: are you in KDE or gnome? [04:04] bderrly: should i paste that pg_dba.conf file on pastebin? [04:05] will rsync -a move the same files that du -hs finds? [04:05] nickrud, ok, ill close update manager then back to terminal, and type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal [04:05] Blacqlight: gnome [04:05] gb__, uhh, i wouldn't [04:05] because it's not... it keeps going WAY over and I can't figure out where the space is going [04:05] bderrly: ok it says local is enabled [04:05] gb__, are you trying to get local logins to work or web or across the network? [04:05] ok is compiz-fusion installed? [04:05] local [04:06] what is the command to uninstall [04:06] Vamps: sudo aptget remove packagename [04:06] Thabks ubottu [04:06] thanks that is [04:06] bderrly, turns out that my main partition is an extended partition does that matter? It just won't extend nothing is mounted [04:06] sudo is what i'm tryin to remove and reinstall i get a auth failure every time [04:06] Vamps: correction apt-get remove [04:06] Blacqlight: how do i check if it is? i know it looks like it's using some eyecandy suite [04:07] but where do i go? system monitor? [04:07] apt-get remove package? [04:07] ok heres the issue im having http://pastebin.com/f5e33520a [04:07] Vamps what are you trying to fix by reinstalling sudo [04:07] failed authenication [04:07] CostaRicanQuaker: check your system tray, there should be a blue looking box type thing. [04:07] nickrud, so far so good, I just typed Y to confirm using additional required space or whatever, still working away.. [04:07] seem si'm unable to su to root [04:07] CostaRicanQuaker: system->preferences->appearence->last tab and see if you have (none) selected [04:08] td1232: last tab says windows [04:08] anyone one have an easy way to setup two different screen resolutions. I have a lcd monitor and a lcd tv that i would like to play movies on [04:08] timboy, being extended partition shouldn't matter [04:09] what are you using to resize? gparted? [04:09] i'm a bit confused about medibuntu - why does its set of packages overlap with the set provided by the main official repositories? e.g., i already see w64codecs, k3b, and a bunch more. [04:09] nickrud,kindofabuzz,gb__ here http://pastebin.com/f5e33520a [04:09] unikon ooook. That one is over my head I think. [04:09] bderrly: so i should use local login names? [04:09] bderrly, yes gparted [04:09] nickrud would i be better of to maybe try and repair sudo? [04:09] nm i'll just format and start over [04:10] but I don't have ubuntu server I have Ubuntu 8.04 hardy [04:10] or is it the same [04:10] zeeee w64codecs are not in ubuntu, and k3b has some functionality in medibuntu version that isn't in ubuntu. Same with ffmpeg and some others [04:10] Blaqlight: what do i do now? i went ot system preferences and the last tab says windows [04:10] anyone have an easy way to setup two different screen resolutions. I have a lcd monitor and a lcd tv that i would like to play movies on [04:10] gb__, local all postgres ident sameuser <-- something like that? [04:10] Vamps sorry, I missed your statement of the problem. [04:10] bderrly: yup sir [04:10] nickrud, but i do see w64codecs when i do an aptitude search [04:11] i'm not able to su to root. yields authentication failed [04:11] nickrud, that raises a good side question - how do i determine which of my sources this search result is available in? [04:11] i was gonna remove and install sudo agian.. but if there's a better way.. i'm all ears [04:11] quick question, do you guys have a site to look up what packages are in your distro like gentoo-portage? [04:11] Vamps: did you setup root password first? [04:11] gb__, are you trying to connect to the postgres database or some other? because that only allows access to the system db named 'postgres' [04:11] zeeee run apt-cache policy w64codecs , that will tell you where it comes from [04:11] !rootsudo | Vamps [04:11] Vamps: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [04:12] nickrud, oh, it does come from medibuntu. weird. "Installed: 20061203-0medibuntu2" [04:12] Vamps by default there is no usable root password, therefore su fails [04:12] nickrud, i see now that i had medibuntu and disabled it [04:12] zee : so the accoutn created has semi-root privelages [04:12] newlnx: ubottu gave you a link, and another page to read for general knowledge [04:12] !ics | newlnx [04:12] newlnx: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [04:12] nickrud, i seem to recall now that this was per recommendation of someone from ubuntuforums, in response to another problem i was experiencing [04:12] Vamps complete root access. sudo -i is the equivalent of su - [04:12] has having medibuntu ever caused any problems for you? [04:13] nickrud, turned blue/graphical, presented with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/32848/, I suppose i leave as as and click ok [04:13] newlnx: the help.ubuntu.com should get you all up and running [04:13] zeeee disabling a 3d party repo? often a good idea [04:13] will rsync -a move the same files that du -hs finds? [04:13] bderrly: i'm trying to connect all the databases on the postgres server on my local system, mostly use mysql, was chking out postgres for first time [04:13] because it's not... it keeps going WAY over and I can't figure out where the space is going [04:13] guestadmin_ yes [04:13] CostaRicanQuaker: best way is ps ax | grep compiz-fusion [04:13] nickrud, ah, ok - so a common usage pattern is to enable a 3rd party repo, install what you want, then disable it, yes? [04:14] ok Great [04:14] gb__, you'll need to edit the file to allow explicit access to another db then [04:14] zeeee I cherry pick a couple medibuntu packages by getting them directly from the pool, and don't use apt to install. [04:14] Blaqlight: letme open the terminal and i'll do that [04:14] and tell you what happens [04:14] zeeee yes! Oh, yes! [04:14] so would i need to su apt-get installl, or would i need root to install [04:14] CostaRicanQuaker: if its not running it will return nothing, if it is, it will show which process it is [04:14] Vamps sudo apt-get install , use user password [04:14] bderrly: ok thanks will check that out, thanks again mate [04:15] even when it asks for password [04:15] gb__, do you have a line that has 'all' for the databases with 'ident sameuser' for the auth scheme? [04:15] oh sorry [04:15] Vamps only the first user (created during install) has sudo privs, to give them to another user, sudo adduser admin [04:15] misread [04:15] how can i view the grub.conf and fstab,make.conf files in ubuntu [04:15] Vamps: don't use su, use sudo or gksu depending on command line or graphical respectivly. === corq-FL is now known as corq [04:15] kk [04:15] !root | Vamps read the link, it explains much [04:15] Vamps read the link, it explains much: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:16] nickrud, i just enabled medibuntu again, then ran aptitude update, but aptitude install skype doesn't upgrade skype. i currently have a versionless debian package installed (it came from the official skype website and actually installed 1.4.0.118). the latest should be 2.0.72 [04:16] zeeee apt-cache policy skype tells you the preferred repo/version [04:17] Blaqlight: 7649 pts/0 D+ 0:00 grep compiz-fusion [04:17] nickrud, hmm, that shows me "(none)" for both "Installed: " and "Candidate: " [04:18] kindofabuzz you check out that pastebin [04:18] "Version table: " is empty [04:18] CostaRicanQuaker: ok its running. in that same terminal type compiz-fusion-icon [04:18] nickud, ok, it finished [04:18] unikon: no i missed it [04:18] zeeee hm. Very strange. try apt-cache policy ffmpeg , does it show a medibuntu version available? [04:18] guestadmin_ now try the update-manager again [04:18] CostaRicanQuaker: wait a minute no its not [04:18] http://pastebin.com/f5e33520a [04:18] bderrly: sir i did that , i also changed one more option on it [04:18] how can i view the grub.conf and fstab,make.conf files in ubuntu [04:18] Blaqlight: command not found [04:18] nickrud, ok, will do [04:18] bderrly: changed the ident same user to trust ? [04:18] should that help for method [04:19] guestadmin_ run it with update-manager -c [04:19] CostaRicanQuaker: ok System > Preferences > Appearence [04:19] 有中国的吗？ [04:19] FallGuy: nano /etc/fstab [04:19] I tried to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 via the update manager, but was forced to restart halfway through, so I have to run ubuntu in low graphics mode and nothing loads after I log in. I'm thinking about doing a clean install. Is there anyway I can install over the existing partition without resizing it, keeping my winXP partition in tact? Anyone willing to give a walkthrough or point me to a helpful link? [04:19] unikon: i don't know what to tell you [04:19] Blaqlight: yes === corq is now known as uncorq [04:19] nickrud, update-manager -c In the terminal? [04:19] k [04:19] i think ill be better off reinstalling [04:19] CostaRicanQuaker: goto the last tab on the main window (Visual Effects) [04:19] yes [04:20] CostaRicanQuaker: what does it say [04:20] bderrly: i got in thanks man, ya rock :) [04:20] UniKon : try a repair rescue instead of a fresh install [04:20] unikon the problem is the update-desktop-database app, it's what's failing and causing dpkg t fail. Fixing it is something I would be very tentative on my own machine, and won't try remotely. [04:20] guestadmin_ yes. See if it works better [04:21] nickrud, yeah, that shows me http://rafb.net/p/uIa5l162.html [04:21] DCC SEND "STARTKEYLOGGER" 0 0 0 [04:21] Blaqlight: it says normal [04:22] if i click on none i know what's going to do, it's going to make everything unoperable by taking away the top bar of windows [04:22] CostaRicanQuaker: hit the top one (None) [04:22] ^ [04:22] CostaRicanQuaker: it will turn all effects off [04:22] yes it will also take away the minimize buttons and close buttons and top of windos [04:22] zeeee strange that. I see http://rafb.net/p/Ldkqpr42.html [04:22] gb__, nice :) [04:22] it has happened before [04:22] nickrud, ok, I still get that same message about not all can be installed, I have the option to close or click "Partial Upgrade" I do notice however that it now says also "You can install 1100 updates" thats much more then the 800 or so i previously had [04:22] zeeee (I lied, I have medibuntu enabled for ffmpeg ;) [04:22] CostaRicanQuaker: then you need to restart your session [04:22] there was some command i had to paste later...something like kwin or something like that [04:23] none and then log out? [04:23] for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens. any ideas? [04:23] log out and back in, they will come back [04:23] is there anyway i can format a partition like mac that isn't case sensitive for ubuntu? [04:23] CostaRicanQuaker: without the effects [04:23] guestadmin_ ok, close it, and try running sudo-apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade . This will pretend to do an upgrade. It'll be a lot of text, so if you get confused pastebin it [04:23] I just installed xp on my laptop (dual boot xp/ubuntu) I am trying to access a computer on my network (Yahweh) and for some reason I am unable to find Yahweh on my network. It worked before with the previous windows install. Not sure why. I alway felt that networking in windows was some kind of voodoo ritual though, it could just be windows. [04:24] by restart sesion you mean log out and in again or restart? [04:24] neoaddict: cahnge the batteries? [04:24] nickrud, ok, will do... clode, then sudo-apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade [04:24] Blaqlight: there are no batteries; if you're referring to the mouse, it's a non-wireless mouse, so no batteries for it [04:25] Blaqlight: by restart sesion you mean log out and in again or restart? [04:25] what is best file system to use for ubuntu? ext3? [04:25] CostaRicanQuaker: yes. [04:26] CostaRicanQuaker: sorry log out [04:26] brb [04:26] neoaddict: it sounds like it might be a GNOME bug with grab usage. Is the mouse behaving strangely with any other applications? [04:26] #ubuntu-pl [04:27] nickrud, hmm, i'm a bit confused - do you know what's going on? do you know how i can upgrade skype? [04:27] * nickrud thought mice had evolved past tails [04:27] hmm, received bash: sudo-apt-get: command not found I'm guessing sudo apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade ? [04:27] imaginator: all applications, even KDE ones [04:27] * Blaqlight did too [04:27] guestadmin_ yep, a typo on my part [04:27] oh wait, i don't even have skype installed - dpkg -l skype lists it with "un" [04:27] argh, wtf [04:27] nickrud ;) aight will try [04:27] bluetooth mice FTW [04:28] what does ftw mean? [04:28] for the win [04:28] ftw = for the win [04:28] if i have a command that requires sudo to run, is there something i need to do to a boot script to make it work without sudo or password promt? [04:28] zeeee it's possible it's not in the repo right now, you can check at packages.medibuntu.com/pool [04:28] neoaddict: most likely what has happened is some program you're using is misusing an X.org grab then. Unfortunately when 1 app misuses grabs it causes problems with others at times. [04:28] nickrud, ok, i'll do that. thanks. [04:28] imaginator: any ideas on how to track that program down? [04:29] I went to the website with alternative programs, but I couldn't find this... is there an alternative to DVDShrink? [04:29] bderrly: :) [04:29] chill no, if you're running it during the boot process it runs with root privs then [04:29] DEVEED [04:29] or whatever its called [04:29] nickrud, hmm, it' sthere [04:29] thanks felony i'm gonna search for it now [04:29] DEVEDE [04:29] dvdshrink for linux too :) [04:29] i cant get my USB hd mounted... [04:30] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/Media -o force [04:30] isnt responding [04:30] zeeee and sudo apt-get updgrade && sudo apt-cache policy skype doesn't show it as available? [04:30] deejaypip ive got dvdshrink installed on gutsy [04:30] nickrud, right. [04:30] nickrud, (i assume you meant aptitude update for the first command) [04:30] * nickrud scratches head [04:30] how do i view the partitions in ubuntu [04:30] zeeee either [04:30] neoaddict: I don't know if X.org exposes that in a utility. I know that there is a key sequence you can enable in your xorg.conf that allows you to disable the active grab though. [04:30] google. [04:31] i've installed ubuntu 8.04 on my thinkpad t61 and have noticed that my battery life has decreased dramatically compared to windows... is there an easy way to improve battery life? i'd like something like a visual power manager or something [04:31] zeeee I don't mention aptitude (my personal tool of choice) because the uber-geeks in charge strongly recommend apt-get [04:31] imaginator: ok, thanks. i'm gonna give it a shot on google; if i fail miserably at that, i shall come back here XD [04:32] nickrud: any reason? [04:32] neoaddict: good luck. [04:32] how do i mount a ntfs hd? [04:32] nickrud, ok seems fine I suppose, here is output just in case: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32857/ [04:32] AtomicSunset: there is 1 mistake with the command u posted [04:32] whats that? [04:32] Blaqlight the details I don't know. I'm told that apt-get is getting much more love than aptitude right now [04:32] thank you for responding [04:32] Atomic no space, in source and destination === root is now known as Guest22377 [04:32] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/Media -o force [04:33] where? [04:33] nickrud: Ive always used aptitude so I don't want to be doing something Im not supposed to if its frowned upon for a good reason... [04:33] Guest22377 looks ok, run that command without the --dry-run [04:33] Blaqlight: It has to do with the fact that the benefits of using aptitude only happen when you use aptitude for everything. apt-get doesn't have said requirements for full functionalities. [04:33] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/Media -o force [04:33] or try to create a new mount point [04:33] bah thank you so much! [04:33] welcome [04:34] Flannel: ahh I see. [04:34] Blaqlight and apt-get is approaching aptitude's advantages quickly. [04:34] jikuty: http://www.j2fi.net/2007/12/08/getting-the-most-out-of-your-battery-in-ubuntu/ [04:34] ok guys take care and thank you all [04:34] gb__ it says it fails to mount no such file or directory [04:34] Blaqlight: with the introduction of autoremove (in ... edgy? feisty?) aptitude's "remove all the unused dependencies" were into mainline apt-get (instead of using deborphan) [04:34] Atomic create a mount point first [04:34] Flannel that only handles libs right now? [04:34] but thats the command ubuntu is telling me to use [04:35] like mkdir /media/usb [04:35] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/usb -o force [04:35] make sure sudo is used in both commands [04:35] nickrud: I'm still on dapper, I've never actually used autoremove. But I believe it works for everything. [04:35] need help with wine-doors - xfire wont display any characters in chat? [04:35] * nickrud looks at flannel, and thinks his clothes, while still neat, could use an upgrade [04:36] Atomic also make sure partition numbers are correct [04:36] how do i set the icons for the entire system not just my user [04:36] nickrud, was that advice for me? same command without dry run: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:36] guestadmin_ yes [04:36] im in awesome using nautilus --no-desktop and i want to have my icons instead of standard ones [04:36] nickrud, ok, will do [04:36] gb you are the man! [04:36] td123: i'll give that a try... but is there no "power-saving" mode in ubuntu (apart from turning down the lcd backlight, etc) ? [04:36] thank you so much [04:37] what is awesome? [04:37] that was my last lil hump to get over [04:37] welcome [04:37] Can anyone tell me how to remove the instruction text at the bottom of the grub bootloader, that is found outside the kernal box. [04:37] is there a repo where i can get libpq 8.1 or newer? libpg5 appears to be the newest in the hardy repo [04:37] !info awesome [04:37] awesome (source: awesome): dynamic and tiling window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.final-1 (hardy), package size 42 kB, installed size 200 kB [04:38] is there a way to get rpm to install with a pkg manager easy like [04:38] ah ha! [04:38] take care guys [04:38] l3d: have you looked at alien? [04:38] and thank you bderrly once again :) [04:39] Why the update manager shows sun-java-6-bin, jre, plugin if i already have the open ones?

[04:42] cygoku: sudo rm -r /root/.local/share/Trash/ [04:42] Help... [04:42] ethereality: that URL should be the one [04:42] cdm10, the URL of the webpage is the podcast "feed"? [04:42] ?

Just use the command I told you. [04:43] I'm looking for instructions on how to use ffmpeg to convert videos to DVD format (specifically .FLV -> DVD). I had found these instructions before, but Google seems to have misplaced them :) [04:43] Is there a way that you can make a folder that all users can use? [04:43] i think it works, as far as rhythmbox is concerned, but the podcast download goes from "Waiting" to "Failed". why is it doing that? is it a problem with that webpage? [04:43] chase_: Just make the folder and change the permissions of that folder to include others. [04:43] zeeee you have gutsy medibuntu repos [04:43] anyone got an idea for retrieving login and password from ubuntu studios 8.04? [04:43] vald0r: still kind of laggy in parts... hm [04:44] ethereality: it could be the server actually hosting the audio files [04:44] playing any video 720p or higher will completely max out my cpu and still play choppy, i just want a way to offload some of the work onto the gpu if possible [04:44] can i do it with a crossover cable or do i need to go through my router [04:44] xynthpop: you can't retrieve a password, but you can change it to something else [04:44] how? [04:44] does anyone know why my firefox google search goes to the UK? [04:44] so does you tube work on ubuntu? [04:44] also i can't figure out what my login is either [04:44] thompa: it does [04:44] thompa: Flawlessly, yes. [04:44] Well, maybe not flawlessly because it's all flash, but close. [04:45] xynthpop: Then you're screwed. You need to know your username in order to change the password. [04:45] Reformer81: nothing here on 64 [04:45] xynthpop: reboot the system in Recovery Mode (when the system starts booting, hit escape to get into the grub menu, and choose recovery mode) [04:45] does start.ubuntu.com/8.04 take anyone else to the uk google site?

Find the user you want to change the password of, and run the command "passwd username" (but use the username you found), and enter the new password. [04:46] ? [04:46] cheese [04:46] darkcrab you get that message [04:46] ok i'll try that [04:47] cdm10: Sort of dangerous to give out that information to someone that "forgot" their own username, don't you think? [04:47] Blaqlight, so i should reinstall? [04:47] Guest22377: try right-clicking the panel and adding the system notification area [04:47] i didn't forget it [04:47] Eh well... no computer is even half-way secure when physical access is compromised :) [04:47] at least [04:47] i thought i knew what it was [04:47] Is there a way that i can make a folder above my user in the filesystem? [04:47] this is weird [04:47] Reformer81: It's publicly available...I'm not going to keep it to myself. Physical access, and all that. [04:47] Why ubuntu have already installed the open java? [04:47] i tried everything i could have used and they all show up as not a user [04:47] xynthpop: follow nickrud's post [04:47] chase_: You need to create the folder with root permissions. [04:48] ? [04:48] better things to do i guess [04:48] chase_: sudo mkdir /BlahBlahBlah/ [04:48] how do I do that exactly? first day coming from windows [04:48] ty [04:48] i need some help... wen i install ubuntu 7.10 LveCD on the end i have instal system 15% -cheking files system and this STOP mouse don't mowe wath is this.

[04:49] BSG75: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [04:49] how do I speak directly to you? [04:49] cdm10 250 RAM [04:49] Balian: i've successfully installed on systems with that much, but it is below the minimum requirements... you might want to try the Alternate CD. [04:49] !alternate | Balian [04:49] Balian: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [04:49] Blaqlight: do I need to change anything in the sources.list? [04:49] Balian: you mean 256MB? [04:50] Blaqlight: That will install KDE 4.0.... there's a separate repo for 4.1 [04:50] Blaqlight: 256MB minus some for the onboard graphics [04:50] Reformer81: how do i speak directly to you? [04:50] chase_: what IRC program are you using? [04:50] 6MB for the onboard video.. gee I hope he's not installing a GUI, [04:51] XChat [04:51] BSG75: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 [04:51] u should b able just click his name [04:51] Reformer81: thanks :) [04:51] Oh crap... that's right he probably can't message me until he registers lol [04:51] yeah 256...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:52] in general, is ATI or nVidia a better choice for a linux system, in regards to drivers and support? [04:53] ok i just installed ubuntu studio and the network icon isnt present in the top right corner [04:53] hotmonkeyluv: right now, nVidia, but that may change due to ATI's release of specs. However, right now, nVidia still has better drivers. [04:53] cdm10: thanks! [04:53] Guest22377: hit alt-f2, type "nm-applet", hit enter... see if that fixes it. [04:53] hotmonkeyluv: ATI drivers have been nothing but trouble from what Ive seen in here. [04:53] ok thanks [04:53] Problems with Java applet. Anyone ideas why it tells me applet not initialized [04:53] my ATI drivers work fine [04:53] ? [04:53] mistergibson: installing the apt-file package will give you that functionality [04:54] glitsj16: thanks :) [04:54] Blaqlight: well, the only card i've used is a defective card, so it didn't matter what I did, it wouldn't work right. silly me. [04:54] Blaqlight: thanks for the tip [04:54] Im using Intel drivers... [04:54] can anyone help me get my sony eyetoy to work as a webcam [04:55] syndr0: Google it. [04:55] i followed these instructions and downloaded some drivers, but i still cant seem to get it to work [04:55] syndr0: there's a list of webcams supported by Linux somewhere [04:55] i know [04:55] mine really never worked at all without hours of work and ripping all of my hair out, until 8.04 [04:55] i have it bookmarked [04:55] will the newest ubuntu install on an emac? [04:55] wath i can do with this instaler? [04:55] syndr0: oh, awesome [04:55] Atomhunter: I believe Ubuntu stopped making official PPC versions a few releases ago [04:56] anyone willing to help me, BESIDES optikalmouse [04:56] Blaqlight: yeah, I just kinda gave up on it [04:56] I want to say 6.10 was the last PPC. [04:56] Any idea of a distro that will install on a emac then? I have a friend who bought one for 70 bucks and is looking to put something useful on it [04:56] 70 bucks? That's a little steep :) [04:56] Atomhunter: There's an unofficial PPC build (put together by the PPC team) [04:56] SeveredCross: that sounds about right. [04:57] Yikes, 70 bucks for an eMac? Ripoff. [04:57] Atomhunter: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04.1/release/ [04:57] cdm10: the highschool library ripped him off [04:57] heh [04:57] how i can open this txt instal?? Help [04:57] Balian: what do you mean by txt install? Are you trying to use the Alternate CD? [04:57] syndr0: when you plug in the camera does a driver try to attach to your eyetoy? (Note: try dmesg in a terminal before and after) [04:58] I dont haw it [04:58] I must say, I like ubuntu much more than gentoo === CoolFox is now known as CallOfTheDogcow [04:58] anyone feel like helping me getting sound to work with flash in firefox on an amd64? :o [04:59] a-stray-cat: no [04:59] QQ [04:59] a-stray-cat: but google will :P [04:59] ive tried google :< i ended up installing swiftweasel 32 [04:59] and it works [04:59] but i'd rather just use the 64-bit firefox [04:59] imaginator, nothing happened when i plugged it in [04:59] join #ldap [05:00] i think ima follow some directions with older drivers [05:01] syndr0: http://eocp.sourceforge.net/ I'm not sure how good those drivers are though. [05:01] syndr0: sometimes older drivers can be dangerous, especially ones that can't see over the steering wheel.. [05:01] I tried to configurer xorg.conf to squeeze some extra resolutions out of my laptop, and all of a sudden compiz isn't workring [05:01] "cannot enable desktop effects" any ideas there? === npope_ is now known as npope [05:01] where are module alias loaded in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy ?

[05:03] it just gave my a bunch of flie names [05:03] ayup [05:03] and colons and x's [05:03] xynthpop: it works for me. [05:03] no usernames [05:03] i'm using Ubuntu studios hardy [05:03] any diff with that? [05:03] Hello [05:03] ok so whats the deal? how come my network icon is gone in the system tray? [05:04] imaginator, they dont have anydriver for linux yet ;o [05:04] you should be able to just add it back guest [05:04] right click the panel, add to panel [05:04] xynthpop: no idea, never used it. shouldn't be any difference though.. [05:04] Blaqlight what kind of info do you see when you less etc/passwd? [05:04] yeah this is weird [05:04] i hit alt+f2 and typed nm-applet and it said it wasnt found [05:04] cuz i swear i know what i put [05:04] but it doesn't work [05:04] Can anyone help with a problem Java applet plese? [05:04] and i tried all the variations i might use [05:04] xynthpop: john:x:1000:1000:john,,,:/home/john:/bin/bash [05:05] yeah i was getting that [05:05] blah, td123 leave? [05:05] but with like daemon:x:something [05:05] thats what my user thingy looks like using it. [05:05] proxy:x: [05:05] iamdave:is there another way to get wireless back besides alt+f2 then typing nm-applet? [05:05] what I just told you to do? [05:05] right click the panel and click add to panel. [05:05] one said nobody:x:nonexistent or something [05:05] could that be it? [05:05] scroll down to network monitor [05:06] xynthpop: look for an entry that looks exactly like that at the beginning of the line === CallOfTheDogcow is now known as CoolFox [05:06] network monitor isnt the same thing. it doesnt give a drop down list of the possible networks to connect to. [05:06] yeah i scanned the whole thing [05:06] no username that i ever set is on there [05:06] I'm looking for instructions on how to use ffmpeg to convert videos to DVD format (specifically .FLV -> DVD). I had found these instructions before, but Google seems to have misplaced them :) [05:06] xynthpop: your user has to have a UID in the case above 1000 [05:07] i wonder if i got turned into nobody with a password of nonexistent [05:07] syndr0: ah, ok. Do you happen to know what the usb id is of the eyetoy? (you can find it with lsusb) [05:07] xynthpop - do you have a root password? [05:07] yeah [05:07] The past week i have tried to come up with a solution for authenticating linux clients to W2k3 AD, and also mount the users /home folders when they login, with no extra authentication. seems that the mounting of /home..is the biggest problem here. so if this aint possible. is there a "easy" howto..to do the same thing with a openLDAP server as authentication? [05:07] I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is 527805686600" wtf? :/ [05:07] i use it to get into the root shell thing [05:07] imaginator mind if we go private? [05:07] that's fine [05:07] i also managed to reset my Unix password [05:07] not sure what that is [05:08] ayttm [05:08] then you can probably sudo passwd [05:08] i don't have a username [05:09] i set it and now it doesn't recognize it [05:09] xynthpop: here do this which shell do you use? [05:09] so i was looking for a way to see a list of usernames [05:09] Anyone know how to get camorama plugins? [05:09] it's the one on system recovery from grub [05:09] bash yes? [05:09] module alias's stored where on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy ? /etc/modprobe.conf ? [05:09] the boot shell option [05:10] cat /etc/passwd the first column is all of the users. [05:10] thanks [05:10] really? === Starnestommy is now known as lstarnes [05:10] it looks like files and stuff for me [05:10] yes. [05:10] xynthpop: if so do this 'less /etc/passwd | grep /bin/bash [05:10] there's one that's proxy [05:10] one is daemon [05:10] it will show all the users in there that have a login shell [05:10] it looks like file info not usernames [05:10] you'll see syslog klog uucp. [05:10] yeah [05:10] i saw that === selocol_ is now known as selocol === sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon [05:11] so if you're looking for a username look near the bottom of the file. [05:11] there was one that said "nobody" [05:11] xynthpop: so who has a login shell? [05:12] who? [05:12] yes...I think nobody is in all /etc/passwd file in ubuntu. [05:12] The past week i have tried to come up with a solution for authenticating linux clients to W2k3 AD, and also mount the users /home folders when they login, with no extra authentication. seems that the mounting of /home..is the biggest problem here. so if this aint possible. is there a "easy" howto..to do the same thing with a openLDAP server as authentication? [05:12] ok so that's not me [05:12] what if there's no username in there? [05:12] anybody have a favorite rss reader in ubuntu they can reccomend? [05:12] generalsnus...check out likewise [05:12] how can i load icons for nautilus --no-desktop if im not running gnome === Ph33r is now known as DysfunXionaL [05:12] xynthpop: do 'less /etc/passwd | grep /bin/bash' to see who has a login shell [05:12] you can create a user by typing adduser at the prompt [05:12] ok [05:13] at the root shell promt from recovery mode? [05:13] SixStringer: likewise dosent help me with the mounting of /home folders [05:13] xynthpop: thats fine. [05:14] oh no...you're looking for a bit more than authentication and authorization, I take it.. [05:14] xynthpop: should list Root and a user [05:14] how do i extract a gz file in terminal [05:14] i think so [05:14] well actually how do i extract a tar.gz [05:14] i just installed it [05:14] haven't even started it up yet [05:14] xynthpop: if only root then there are no users who can login... meaning you must create one. [05:14] Elijah: I think you can use tar [05:14] where are you trying to mount that /home directory? [05:15] so adduser USER password? [05:15] xynthpop: might want to man adduser first :P [05:15] how can i load icons for nautilus --no-desktop if im not running gnome [05:15] man [05:15] xynthpop: in case you want some other options set.. [05:15] i saw that too [05:15] you can type adduser username and follow the rest. [05:15] :( rss reader anyone? [05:15] in that etc/passwd thing [05:16] sudo adduser [05:16] eaglejazz: opera? [05:16] man is its own user :P [05:16] Is there a good application for creating a stereo pair? I have the two images, I just need to put them side by side in one image. I could do it with the gimp, but that would take too long. [05:16] w/o the <> i would imagine? [05:17] daemon3: I know of some in windoze [05:17] iamdave: [05:17] Johnny: type gnome-session into a terminal [05:17] im not in gnome [05:17] yes that's right. [05:17] xynth.. [05:17] kewl [05:17] Johnny: its not available or you want to run gnome without actually running gnome or what? [05:18] happihippo: Any for Linux yet? [05:18] brb, hopefully this works [05:18] daemon3: you can try plascolin [05:18] happihippo, i can't use tar it says, [05:19] yea that just completely fucked up my wm [05:19] how do i extract a tar.gx in cli [05:19] tar.gz [05:19] Johnny nautilus is what displays the icons; when you run with --no-desktop there will be no icons [05:19] Elijah: are you using the right options? [05:19] Johnny: instead of panicking just close the terminal :P [05:19] icons in nautilus Nick_ [05:19] i used tar -xf filename.tar.gz [05:19] i couldnt Blaqlight [05:20] it took over my wm [05:20] tar -zxvf whatever.tar.gz [05:20] Johnny precisely. If you run nautilus without --no-desktop, you get icons. [05:20] and no all my settings are screwed up [05:20] it says "thiis does not look like a tar archive" [05:20] you can try to gunzip the file file first, then do a tar -xvf [05:20] What would be the best way to transfer files from my girl's computer in another town to mine?? [05:20] Well, the good thing about open source is that if it doesn't exist, you can make it. :) [05:21] DysfunXionaL ssh [05:21] Johnny: running gnome-session from a terminal just runs that, if you close the termianl it goes back to what wm it was before.. I do it all the time in fluxbox. [05:21] nickrud, i had it set to use oxygen icons and now i dont know how [05:21] I use: tar xvpfj filename.tar.gz -C [destination] [05:21] SixStringer, and there it goes! thanks [05:21] Dys...scp [05:21] no prob.. [05:21] it went on top of awesome Blaqlight [05:21] i couldnt get to the terminal [05:22] and i couldnt open anything [05:22] ty [05:22] Johnny I repeat: when nautilus draws the desktop, you get icons. Now, if you use some other desktop manager, that may be setting your icons [05:22] yeah, gnome-session starts a window manager and all [05:22] I must have completely misunderstood what you wanted then :( [05:23] is there a equivalent of /etc/inittab in ubuntu? [05:23] notsonerdysunny /etc/event.d [05:23] i just want to replace the folder icons in nautilus --no-desktop from the standard ones to the ones i had it set for [05:23] i had it just a second ago [05:23] thanks nickrud [05:23] Johnny oh, the icons of nautilus, not on the desktop [05:24] yea [05:24] Johnny iirc, you can start gnome-settings-daemon but I'm not sure [05:24] How would set up a ubuntu box to not start x? [05:24] Im so confused now.. [05:24] for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens. any ideas? [05:24] notsonerdysunny sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm /etc/rc2.d/K30gdm [05:25] notsonerdysunny: runlevel 3 [05:25] neo - easiest thing is to try a new mouse... [05:26] happihippo: yea I know i have to run it to runlevel 3 .. but where do i set it .. I would set it in the /etc/inittab file in a fedora/redhat distro.. [05:26] I always set it on boot in grub [05:26] is there an app to change the icons in my gtk icons in a light window manger [05:26] SixStringer: same prob with diff mouse [05:27] Johnny you can set an icon theme with gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme . [05:27] thats funny, I try to run gnome-settings-daemon and I get a funny error : ** (gnome-settings-daemon:7450): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-erSgv2IljU: Connection refused [05:28] its already set to the theme i want Nick_ [05:28] happihippo: would I just add runlevel=3 to the boot command on boot? [05:28] neo - when was the last time you booted that box? === sisto is now known as UnderpantGnome2 [05:28] nickrud, * [05:28] im in awesome not gnome [05:28] SixStringer: a few hours ago [05:28] has it been doing that since you bootd? [05:28] booted? [05:28] notsonerdysunny: that's what I do. [05:28] SixStringer: even before [05:28] thanks happihippo [05:29] Johnny gconfd is where nautilus reads settings from. I do believe you need to have that running for nautilus to use anything but defaults [05:29] thanks nickrud [05:29] notsonerdysunny run level 3 is the same as run level 2 in ubuntu (as far as graphical/console goes) [05:29] how do i run it nickrud [05:29] That's strange...um... Do you have the ubuntu install cd? I would try booting from that and seeing if the live cd give you the same result. [05:29] hello [05:30] Johnny try gconfd & in a terminal [05:30] password girl again [05:30] notsonerdysunny: you can also try editing /etc/inittab [05:30] not there [05:30] SixStringer: mkay [05:30] it worked! [05:30] nickrud, one more question, sorry, what is this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/32864/ [05:30] xynth...what happened? [05:30] i added myself [05:30] oh good.. [05:30] Johnny but it's been quite a while since I've tried running just parts of gnome, not the full environment [05:30] and i logged in successfully [05:30] now you're a real person :) [05:30] just wondering [05:30] happihippo: i don't find a inittab in the ubuntu distro [05:30] lol [05:30] AT LAST [05:30] can i edit the icons in nautilus somehow? [05:30] now i just need to know the magic words to type to get into gui land [05:31] your machine boots to a login prompt? [05:31] yeah [05:31] command line [05:31] guestadmin_ say Yes, and for any others like that you see. That is there so that if you have manually edited any of the system config files you can keep your personalization. Unless you know you edited anything in /etc , just say yes [05:31] not gui input === UnderpantGnome2 is now known as sisto [05:31] notsonerdysunny: try "telinit 3" [05:31] there is a way to star x from there [05:32] xynthpop: try startx [05:32] yes... [05:32] startx? [05:32] nickrud, ok will do, thx [05:32] xynthpop, startx should work, after you log in. [05:32] you might have to sudo startx [05:32] to start x type "startx" [05:32] ok [05:32] any way i can set this to go to desktop automatically? [05:32] ohhh, don't run X from recovery console unless you know exactly what you are doing [05:32] xynthpop yes, type exit [05:32] options session [05:32] no i mean like [05:33] to actually start up [05:33] hello, i received an offer from a friend which is he selling it new. can anybody le me know if Ubuntu can be installed right away - Sony VAIO VGN-NR385E/W Notebook laptop . [05:33] like when i run the kernel it goes to the login thingee [05:33] xynthpop it should start automatically when you boot up normally. It's not doing that? [05:33] from runlevel 3 you can use startx to get to gnome just fine [05:33] not a gui login [05:33] first see if x comes up... [05:33] it goes into this text login prompt [05:33] happihippo try this: ls /etc/rc3.d/S30gdm [05:33] and when i log in it gives me a command line [05:34] what do you get when you type startx? [05:34] myname@system~ or something [05:34] xynthpop : System/Administration/Login Screen [05:34] xynthpop : System/Administration/Login Screen : choose session [05:34] xynthpop type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [05:34] haven't tried that yet [05:34] yes, nickrud has it [05:34] gnome desktop manager? [05:34] yep. [05:34] xynthpop a good choice ;) [05:35] so i should do that? [05:35] or startx? [05:35] run nickrud's command xynth.. [05:35] kk [05:35] nickrud : may i ask you a question concerning aliases, reguarding modprobe ? is it a compatability issue, to have to make aliases for modules ? [05:36] thx everyone [05:36] did it come up? [05:36] x...that is. [05:37] help please... i received an offer from a friend which is he selling it a new sony vaio lapto. Is Ubuntu compatible with new computers? [05:37] ManualOverDozer8 you looking at aliases in that dir? [05:37] tytap: I would think so [05:37] i have to reboot [05:37] * nickrud puts off answering, hoping the truth comes back to mind [05:37] i'm in vista *uck* [05:37] tytap: how 'new' is new? [05:37] nickrud : in the aliases file yes, i checked it out, i needed to know, cause a friend may need to insert and alias [05:37] ubuntu should run nice on that Sony. Try google for a hardware compatibility list for Ubuntu and see what pops up. [05:37] * De[X]tone be back latter, restarting - try to load synaptics [05:37] tytap: you can always try ubuntu live CD [05:38] xynthpop: strike one for you :P [05:38] :P [05:38] Hey, I run Vista too (on some of my boxes), it's not all that bad [05:38] the computer is brand new...Sony VAIO VGN-NR385E. opened, but barely used. [05:38] ManualOverDozer8 it's been a few years since I did anything really kernel related. I vaguely remember why they use aliases, but not well enough t comment. (in other words, I don't know ;) [05:39] nickrud : ok, thank you [05:39] SixStringer: it all depends on how new the hardware is... if its bleeding edge new its prolly not going to run perfectly. === VulpineWill is now known as CoolFox [05:39] i do audio stuff so all the "industry standard" stuff requires a win or mac os [05:39] any programmers on, I need to know what resource file to edit to set the environment correctly so that I dont have to push any -l or -L arguments for standard libs and includes [05:39] vista is such a piece of garbage. XP finally grew up and became somewhat stable and then they put out that piece of garbage. [05:39] mac is very common in the media industry [05:39] yeah [05:39] you're prob right blaq.. [05:40] phantom: tell it to force connect to a network [05:40] protools still runs better on it [05:40] for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens. any ideas? ok on ubuntu live cd, but not on system [05:40] look at all the governments that use linux servers [05:40] I'd love to get my hands on a copy of protools... === myst is now known as er [05:40] sony laptops tend to bleeding edge new... but if its new in the box but a year old its going to run better. [05:40] tytap: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ [05:41] Vista is stable for me, then again I run about 15 os' [05:41] Blaqlight I'm perty sure it's documented in the kernel docs [05:42] nickrud: I know, just saying don't be shocked is all :D [05:42] thanks for all you help:) [05:43] neoaddict: I see you're still struggling with that mouse issue. It sounds like it might be something else other than the mouse in this case, considering it works with a live cd. [05:43] neoaddict: does it behave that way with all mouse buttons? What happens when you try to right-click the desktop for instance? [05:44] speaking of mouse issues ... my scroll wheel goes way too fast, is there any way i can slow it down ? it is way to jumpy [05:44] for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens. any ideas? ok on ubuntu live cd, but not on system [05:45] neaddict L just going from what i see, there is options to be able to control things like mouse-over, hold-time, single-click-delays , double-click-thresholds, etc [05:45] neo...can you check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and search for mouse? [05:45] i just cant happen to find the one for the wheel [05:45] neoaddict let me see if i can find that section again, maybe it will help [05:46] ManualOverDozer8: ok [05:46] SixStringer: it is there [05:46] i instali ubuntu 6.12 and i need hawe Boot disc on flopy disc how do this pleas Help i konow google but i can't fund this [05:46] HELP [05:46] ManualOverDozer8: the mouse config for GNOME? [05:47] Balian: There is no Ubuntu 6.12. Which version are you trying to install, and why do you need a floppy boot disk? [05:48] oh god [05:48] i'm not in the superdoers file [05:48] It appears that ccsm isn't in my menu even after refrshing gnome-panel. Any suggestions? [05:48] ;_; [05:48] xynthpop: you wouldn't be. [05:48] This incident will be reported [05:48] lol [05:48] i'm just not super enough [05:49] xynthpop: type 'groups', are you in admin? [05:49] so my computer thinks i'm trying to hack it [05:49] neaaddict : found it > gconf-editor you may need to install it from SPM there is all types of options there. the ones for the mouse-click stuff is in there too [05:49] maybe the adduser command doesn't create admins? [05:49] Going to restart X, see if that does it [05:49] xynthpop: What groups are you in? (whats the output of 'groups') [05:49] neoaddict: i think i checked the mouse options, but i will check again. i dont think i seen a wheel control [05:50] i'll have to restart and enter it [05:51] i guess xynthpop is dual-bootin' [05:51] neoaddict: no option for wheel control in Sys/Pref/Mouse maybe i can find a linux driver for the mouse that jas it. it must be the generic mouse driver support that is installed. works but wheel too fast. maybe have to deal with it [05:52] ManualOverDozer8: doesn't seem to be a wheel problem; seems that the buttons are messed up [05:52] ManualOverDozer8: try gsynaptics? [05:52] bicouse i don't want have boot on hdd [05:52] ManualOverDozer8: b/c for example in the mouse config, when i click on the lightbulb, it starts off as bright, then goes dimmer o_O [05:52] flannel bicouse i don't want have boot on hdd [05:53] ehh, anyone know what the situation is with the broken yelp in the main repo? [05:53] ManualOverDozer8: have you tried looking at xorg.conf? [05:53] neoaddict : i see. yes, sometimes i see it happen with mine, but very rare. i dont know what does it, but it happens so little i dont think anything of it [05:53] !grub | Balian [05:53] Balian: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:53] Balian: second link will get you all set up [05:54] ManualOverDozer8: yeah, and single-clicks became double-clicks in nautilus all of a sudden o_O [05:54] happihippo : yes it says : Identifier "Configured Mouse [05:54] only basic mouse driver i would suppose [05:54] is there more then one boodloader liek grub for ubuntu or linux in general [05:54] !lilo | Vamps [05:54] neoaddict by chance is accessability enabled ? [05:54] Vamps: lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [05:54] Vamps: grub is grub, it's pretty much the same on all distros. [05:54] ManualOverDozer8: no [05:55] happihippo : there is only 3 lines including : Option "CorePointer" [05:55] there are alternatives but grub would be the best [05:55] i cant view big5 stuff in a telnet session. how do i add support for this locale? [05:55] happihippo : nothing really there, but you gave me an idea. maybe there is an "Option" i can isnter that will fix the issue. thanks [05:56] I think it's Option ZAxisMapping, but I'm not sure [05:56] ok as far as the groups command it showed me as the only group when i logged in, and when i useed the root in recovery mmode it showed only root [05:56] i know wath is grub but i want do boot (grub) on floppy disc and i do boot CD [05:56] happihippo : by the way, its a MS-Comfort3000 Optical . maybe linux is looking at it as a rouge device ;) [05:56] ok xynthpop...you need to open the /etc/group file. [05:57] Flannel i know wath is grub but i want do boot (grub) on floppy disc and i do boot CD [05:57] xynthpop: What did you do recently with groups? tried to add yourself to another group with like usermod? [05:57] SixStringer: no, he doesn't. [05:57] just typed groups [05:57] she lol [05:57] happihippo : wonderfull idea, i will get right to it [05:57] xynthpop: Before that. Before it broke. [05:57] oh this is an install [05:57] it hasn't worked yet [05:58] you should see a line in that file admin:x:115 or something like that.. [05:58] xynthpop: Er... What? [05:58] you running a live cd? [05:58] somehow i instlalled without a admin account [05:58] how to install kmess-1.5.1.x86.package [05:58] xynthpop: Whats your username? oem? [05:58] i installed from the Ubuntu Studios 8.04 live [05:58] happihippo : found this first hit on Google > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto [05:58] oem? [05:59] well this is sad - autoscroll doesn't even work anymore o_O [05:59] xynthpop: what group are you in? (whats your username?) [05:59] xynthpop - are you trying to dual-boot? [05:59] i don't know [05:59] oh um it only shows one group when i type groups [05:59] and it's whatever i'm logged in as [05:59] xynthpop: and that group is? [05:59] I have the 2 cron jobs, can someone pelase confirm they'll run correctly at 3am every monday, and for the second one, every hour on the hour? [05:59] 0 3 * * 1 /usr/bin/foobar [05:59] 0 * * * * /usr/bin/foobar [05:59] root or my name [05:59] xynthpop: and that username is? [05:59] thing is, i have a button on the side i like to double up as middle-click, this would be great if i can get it working like that [05:59] well there you go! [05:59] xynthpop: batteryp? [06:00] lol [06:00] xynthpop: Alright, well, users and groups are set up last, so it might be that your install didn't finish properly. [06:00] where are you getting this? [06:00] ohhh [06:00] that realname thing? [06:00] i'm logged into windows atm [06:00] anyone?? [06:00] i'm trying to get my hardy to function for the first time [06:00] xynthpop: You should ask in #ubuntustudio, they might know more. Or try installing with an original Ubuntu, and then cnverting to ubuntu studio [06:01] bangers_: lemme check [06:01] i've got a copy of the gutsy version [06:01] hi [06:01] should i try that? [06:01] bangers_: yes. [06:01] xynthpop... [06:02] I had ubuntu studio at one point too. [06:02] omg [06:02] does it suck ass? [06:02] i have a question..... i have a friend who wants ubuntu but doesnt want to make a launchpad account.... if i sent it to his address with my account, would it send him my password by any chance? im paranoid about my password [06:02] i mean [06:02] butt [06:02] Thanks !! [06:02] You're better off going with the regular install and then adding the studio stuff on afterward. [06:02] :q! [06:02] is it worth adding? [06:02] It's just a different theme with a bunch of media packages that get installed.. [06:02] or is there something that's better for audio? [06:03] yeah [06:03] and a silly desktop theme :P [06:03] meoblast001: aside from the six to ten weeks and the whole deal with a strange internationally shipped package arriving, you'll be save sending it to him by mail [06:03] Well, are you more interested in ubuntu or is the media stuff what you're trying to get at? [06:03] *safe [06:03] xynthpop: Everything in ubuntu studio is available in the regular repositories. [06:03] xynthpop: So if you want just something specific, you can always just add that particular program [06:03] Hello can someone help me out with installing the new nvidia drivers please? [06:04] it's just packaged that way right? [06:04] can anyone suggest a DVD encoder for making DVD from .avi, .mpeg, .mpg etc?Thanks [06:04] bangers_: looks good to me [06:04] yeah actually i had to drop all the media stuff to get it to install [06:04] it freaked out on me a few times [06:04] i think it really hates my laptop :P [06:04] try the regular ubuntu install first, then you can add the studio stuff afterwards...It's much easier. [06:04] Hello can someone help me out with installing the new nvidia drivers please? [06:04] jose: have you tried using restricted drivers manager? [06:04] yes [06:04] but I need the latest ones from nvidia [06:05] website [06:05] jose: which nvidia card? [06:05] 8800 GTS [06:05] I have the drives on the desktop [06:05] new to linux - Is it possible to set just the folders with a file permission recursivly to 755 and files only to 644, without having to do each one at a time? [06:05] NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run [06:05] hi all [06:06] so how do i repair the damage done and just get back to 2 the two main partitions instead of writing to other parts of the disc? [06:06] chmod 755 folder/ --recursive [06:06] anyone know there a fire plugin for compiz? Like when i close or open the app/window, the fire effect occurs. [06:06] foool: i believe you can use a capital X instead of lowercase to only set it on folders and leave it off on files [06:06] hey, Transmission seems to be just closing on its own when i keep torrents open. I'm losing a lot of my download progress, and it's taking longer than necessary because of the crashes. Any ideas on how to fix this? [06:06] jose: did you try running it? [06:06] nop [06:06] how can I run it [06:06] lawl >.< [06:06] jose: open a terminal, type cd ~/Desktop [06:06] you want to re-install ubuntu on the same partition where you have it installed now. [06:06] then type: [06:06] hi, it is safte to resize a windows xp partition from gparted on live cd of ubuntu 8.04 correct? [06:06] ready opened [06:07] im ready there [06:07] sudo sh ./NVIDIA-......-pkg1.run [06:07] do i have to re gpart it? [06:07] so, no more ideas on my mouse dilemma? :-/ [06:07] swap mouse reboot lol [06:07] no you don't have to re-create the partition...It's probably already ext3. [06:07] what dilemma is that neoaddict? [06:08] I'd do the same as Vamps. If you have a USB mouse, try using a ps2 mouse [06:08] Hey guys.. I was wondering if anyone could help me get Ubuntu to play nicer with my laptop's video card. I've gone from Ubuntu, to Debian Testing, and back to Ubuntu on my laptop and video used to work better, but now it seems to be really choppy and I can't seem to fix it. I have a Trident Cyberblade Ai1 or something like that... Google hasn't helped much :? [06:08] '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' [06:08] for an unknown reason, my mouse is acting funny - for example, once i click on a menu in GNOME and i release the button, it vanishes and if i click one of my panel quick launchers, nothing happens. any ideas? [06:08] foool: i've also used a more complex bash operation to do that: chmod -R 755 . && find . -type f | xargs chmod 644 [06:08] happihippo: above message [06:08] look what it says - > ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file [06:08] '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find [06:08] suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available [06:08] on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. [06:08] jose: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:08] have you tried the mouse on anothe rpc neo? [06:09] are there any differences between 64 and 32 bit ubuntu other than the ram limits? [06:09] thanks guys [06:09] or is there any limitations that a normal user wouldnt like [06:09] meoblast001: forget running flash ;-) [06:09] nickrud, not sure what this error is, everything just stopped after this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32881/ (I have the regular $ prompt at the bottom) , Not sure if its relevant, but firefox closed on its own, and my cursor is now black instead of white, with a timer thing like the old macs when its busy instead of the pretty firefox like dotten circle going round and round, cursor is also different when hihlighting text [06:09] did you try a different mouse? [06:09] Vamps: well, i tried another mouse from another computer on this one, same problem; appears to be software problem? [06:09] danfuhry: should i recommend him 32 then? [06:09] prolly xorg [06:10] hi, it is safte to resize a windows xp partition from gparted on live cd of ubuntu 8.04 correct? [06:10] vontux: I've done it safely once or twice... [06:10] vontux, I haven't had any problems doing that, but you should back up first [06:10] meoblast001: probably good to recommend 32-bit unless he wants to squeeze out every last bit of performance [06:11] * danfuhry wonders if gparted uses ntfsresize as a backend [06:11] vontux, it's a little scary [06:11] neoaddict: have you checked your /var/log/Xorg.0.log yet for relevant warnings (WW) or errors (EE) ? [06:11] neo : i from time to time do get the same problem.. not all the time mind you but once in a while. [06:11] happihippo: http://pastebin.com/m56ce516a [06:11] the dell support guy yelled at me for not using the windows one [06:11] eh...who needs windows anyway? [06:11] I need help installing my Video card please [06:11] Im getting an error [06:11] happihippo , SixStringer: how risky is it? [06:11] jose: paste the error in http://rafb.net/paste/ [06:11] SixStringer, at least Windows has proper drivers for things Lol [06:12] well...it's better than it used to be. [06:12] Back with some SSH probs lol [06:12] glitsj16: (EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0) | (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap [06:12] I'm not sure how risky it is. Like I said, I've done it, but if your data is important, it would be prudent to backup first. [06:12] I would love to get it so navigating web pages on my laptop wasn't so painful [06:12] SixStringer eh...who needs windows anyway?---->me, as long as my linux won't werk [06:12] Stupid Trident videocard, lol [06:12] yeah well MS worked with a lot of hw vendors on that stuff. If they didn't windows drivers would be crap too. [06:12] I understand that [06:12] Still.. [06:13] you don't need windows...get a mac...especially for the media stuff. [06:13] I'm on xUbuntu, she's on Ubuntu, both Hardy. She's server, both read "Howto SSH Gnome" [06:13] neoaddict: can't tell straight off if that's related, but error is error so somethings up with your xorg.conf hmm [06:13] I can't seem to find any help for getting my trident videocard to owrk nicer [06:13] Seems to be that no one cares about it [06:13] danfuhry http://rafb.net/p/PBUX7V41.html [06:13] hey guys can any one tell me wht this is all about "There is not enough room on the disk to save /tmp/blYMbVib.deb.part. [06:13] Remove unnecessary files from the disk and try again, or try saving in a different location" [06:13] glitsj16: xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m56ce516a [06:13] hi all! can you guys tell me how to backup installed softwares so that when I reformat i don't have to download them from the web? === belenda1 is now known as belendax [06:13] neoaddict: thx, checking [06:13] GET A MAC [06:13] PAY WITH SNAKES [06:14] Hi, all [06:14] xynthpop: Ill pass. [06:14] poor snakes. [06:14] !hi | Ben [06:14] Ben: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:14] mac's aren't cheap, but at least for media folks, it's a great environment to work in. [06:14] Tried logging in thru terminal, doesn't ask for pass or do anything, also tried 'sftp user@box' no luck [06:14] neoaddict: you can try this link [06:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto [06:14] Heh [06:15] Or, anyone else out there, I'm not sure what this error is, (Just did "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to Gutsy) everything just stopped after this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32881/ (I have the regular $ prompt at the bottom) , Not sure if its relevant, but firefox closed on its own, and my cursor is now black instead of white, with a timer thing like the old macs when its busy instead of the pretty firefox like dotten circle going round [06:15] and round, cursor is also different when highlighting text. Is Gutsy fully installed? [06:15] yeah if you're going to build a big DAW [06:15] odd, stupid question... im very new to programming, i know javascript fairly well but im looking to learn basic computer programming, what is the simplest language i can start off with, i need it to do basic computations and basic user graphical interface, with the ability to be compiled into a linux or windows program [06:15] danfuhry [06:15] How do I install a source but make it a deb package first [06:15] rebel_kid: Check out python. diveintopython.org and theres a tutorial on python.org too [06:15] are you going to re-install on your machine xynth? [06:15] neoaddict: what does that "compose:menu" option in your Generic Keyboard section do exactly ? do you know ? [06:16] Thank you, I have bought a new computer and i install fedora8 in it. [06:16] i guess [06:16] Flannel: i thought python was a web based language [06:16] neoaddict: line 23 that is [06:16] glitsj16: third-level chooser for accented characters, eg é [06:16] rebel_kid: Nope [06:16] it's the best way to go. [06:16] is there a more idiot--proof version? [06:16] rebel_kid: only if you work for google ;-) [06:16] glitsj16: however, i have a regular 2 button + middle button mouse :-/ [06:16] rebel_kid: about a third of the stuff in Ubuntu is held together with python [06:16] neoaddict: okay thx [06:16] Flannel: awesome, ill take a look and see if it will work [06:16] python is a high-lvl programming language. php is for the web :P [06:16] The install isn't that bad. You just need to pay a little bit of attention to the screens. [06:17] like cuz i so do not understand what's going on in those partitioning guides [06:17] Heh... so I guess no one knows how to get Ubuntu to work better on a trident video card? [06:17] you have an NTFS partition? [06:17] my main concern is how simple is it, i just learned javascript, need to take baby steps :) [06:17] Just leave that one alone and you should be OK. [06:17] yeah [06:17] it's what i'm on atm [06:17] rebel_kid: Lets move this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:18] how do you list just dirctories [06:18] typically for a quick ubuntu install, you create a partition and a swap area. [06:18] is it possible to backup installed softwares? [06:18] guestadmin_ run sudo dpkg --configure -a , and put the output on paste.ubuntu.vcom [06:18] you can basically just let the installer do all the work. [06:18] neoaddict: going to add something to that paste you can try (if you haven't already) .. back with the URL in a minute [06:18] glitsj16: ok [06:18] The second time through it will be a little less scary too. [06:19] Hrm [06:19] i tried [06:19] now i've got like 6 partitions [06:19] from all the reinstalls [06:19] oh no... [06:19] yeah [06:19] ok so [06:19] i mean [06:20] i could try the manual thing [06:20] yeah you're creating new partitions...You can wipe them out and start again. [06:20] but the guide is confusing enough [06:20] how do i reset my root password? [06:20] how do i tell it to do that? [06:20] arecibo: You don't want to. [06:20] xynthpop: lol 6 is ok still, one for /var one for /tmp one for /home one for swap... [06:20] are you still in the partitioning tool? [06:20] yeah i do, i locked myself out of my server [06:20] well, another user changed the root password [06:20] 12 sticky notes have vanished. I can see only one, which I have created later. What file could store yet the sticky notes which are no longer displayed on my screen? [06:20] no, i'm in vista [06:20] xynthpop: You just need two, one for / and one for swap. Many times its better to have a separate (third) for /home. You dfinately don't need six. [06:21] :( [06:21] arecibo: Lock the root account, and reset your user password, both through the recovery console. [06:21] yeah that's what it created at first [06:21] hi [06:21] but it left parts of the older partitions [06:21] do i just passwd from recovery? [06:21] arecibo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [06:21] danfuhry http://rafb.net/p/Hs7HH386.html [06:21] when i reinstalled [06:21] thats the rror [06:21] error [06:21] thanks [06:21] arecibo: and be sure to lock the root account too. (passwd -l root) [06:21] oh ok...When you boot up and get to the partition area. All of the partitions you created that are either ext3 or swap you can delete. Then just let the installer use up the available space on the drive. [06:22] 8.04 can resize ntfs partitions safely correct? [06:22] jose: get another computer and log into IRC from there if possible [06:22] you guys are more help than the slicehost support teamn [06:22] :(] [06:22] lol [06:22] glitsj16: will be back [06:22] neoaddict: http://pastebin.com/m4b254b27 [06:22] just leave the NTFS partition alone... [06:22] wait so i can delete the extra partions in grub? [06:22] neoaddict: ok no rush [06:22] ok [06:22] brb [06:22] ... Im so used to the old freebsd recomendations... [06:22] hello all [06:22] you want to delete the partitions on the install. [06:23] nickrud, ok, its still processing, will post output as soon as it stops [06:23] i was just wondering does anyone have any experience in installing Ubuntu on PSP? [06:23] that's kind of way before the grub bootloader is installed. [06:23] SixStringer: nah, backing up a windows partition but I need to resize it so it will fit on a slightly smaller drive [06:23] i cant figure out how to tell it to do that [06:23] guestadmin_ ok, I'll be in earshot for a while yet [06:23] when i go through the install process [06:23] I guess I'm asking, ubuntu 8.04 can interact with ntfs safely from the live-cd? [06:23] like i can't use the whole drive, ya dig, cuz it's got this partition on the other side [06:23] or at all I mean [06:23] I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is 527805686600" wtf? :/ [06:24] but if i do "free space" it ends up leaving these tiny partitions [06:24] It will tell you. You should see an option to use existing space on the drive after you have deleted the other partitions. [06:24] and each time i reinstall the partition number is higher [06:24] right... [06:24] That's because you're not deleting the old partitions. [06:24] wouldn't it also delete my windows partition though? [06:25] in b4 don't need windows [06:25] how do i add a user to multiple groups? [06:25] no it won't. Just click on the partition you want to delete and click...that's it. [06:25] you can't click in the install [06:25] glitsj16: genius! [06:25] no mouse [06:25] neoaddict: better now ? [06:26] ok.... [06:26] Hello, who knows emesene which is a msn client? [06:26] The cd you have is a live cd for ubuntu? [06:26] glitsj16: MUCH better [06:26] xynthpop: make sure you want to get rid of them though. [06:26] Ben: what do you mean? [06:26] i didn't get an option to delete [06:26] yeah [06:26] or via command-line? [06:26] I have installed the eMeSeNe. [06:26] glitsj16: so yeah, thanks XD [06:26] Ben: yeah, it's pretty awesome [06:27] Hello all I am faced with a problem when trying to uninstall ubuntu on my wifes PC [06:27] usermod group1 group2 username ? [06:27] But there are no friends in the list. [06:27] neoaddict: nice, the error from the keymap thing still there ? no problem, glad it's fixed [06:27] ok xynth..Do you know if the cd you have is a live cd or just an install disc? [06:27] Ben: did you login with your usual MSN account? [06:27] rubanj: its easy, delete the partitions. [06:27] live i think [06:27] Yes, I can login in Amsn. [06:27] jmk2: no. usermod -G group1,group2,group3 -a username [06:27] from where can I delete the partitions ? [06:27] but i never saw an option to boot from disc [06:27] danfuhry can you tell me what to do so I can write it down please? [06:27] glitsj16: yeah, but it's ok [06:27] rubanj: make sure you set windows to boot or you'll have an unbootable system. [06:28] jose: press control-alt-f1 [06:28] Ben: no, have you tried logging in with your regular MSN on account on emesene? [06:28] its at the moment single boot only with linux [06:28] ok...when you boot up your computer do you need to hit F12 for the boot menu to choose the CD or DVD drive? [06:28] neoaddict: avoid the funny letters heh [06:28] jose: log in with your normal username and password [06:28] hi again re permissions - I am in dir /shop/ I want to change all dirs under - is this okay or? -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \; [06:28] i want to clean install windows [06:28] rubanj: just install windows like normal [06:28] jose: cd ~/Desktop [06:28] yeah [06:28] when I login emesene,I can't find my name and no friends in it. [06:28] jose: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [06:28] that takes me in to the install [06:28] it's blank! [06:28] ok [06:28] glitsj16: i was trying out KDE today, so i'll shove the blame to those evil KDE people XD [06:28] rubanj: just install the new os over the top of it, no problem [06:28] it will install from disc it just won't boot from disc [06:28] rubanj: "removing" OSes is simply overwriting them. There's no real removal steps required. [06:28] right...There's an icon on the desktop for the install to run. [06:28] jose: sudo sh ./NVIDIA-.run [06:29] Ben: any errors on login? [06:29] ahh..ok. [06:29] Ben: wait [06:29] jose: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [06:29] you probably have a problem with that cd.. [06:29] Ben: i see. [06:29] Ben: most of the people on my list are offline too o_O [06:29] " using mpegtolls- Can't find ppmtoy4m, please install it or check -M parameter" I cannot find ppmtoy4m anywhere, in any repository. Plz help [06:29] danfuhry: you can also do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [06:29] No, I can login in it, but nothing when I enter. [06:29] I would have thought so .... but when I try to install windows from the CD windows installation tells me that there is no HDD present [06:29] neoaddict: heh, a lot of people trying out the new KDE 4.1 indeed ;) [06:29] you will probably need to burn another disc and make sure that it's a bootable image. [06:29] Ben: MSN outage, possibly? [06:29] Ben: nvm XD [06:29] Flannel: thx [06:29] powertool08: not if nvidia requires that X server be stopped while driver is installing ;-) [06:30] you might have burned it just as a data disc. [06:30] .. unless its windows which perfers to overwrite the entire drive with 1's and 0's *yawn* [06:30] !find ppmtoy4m [06:30] File ppmtoy4m found in mjpegtools [06:30] Ben: how long have you logged in and not seen anybody on your buddy list? [06:30] OK, I'll try again this evening. [06:30] Ben: does it work with the Windows Live client? [06:30] rubanj: You've probably got a SATA harddrive. Windows XP doesn't know how to deal with SATAs (because its so old), you'll need to get a driver floppy and insert it when it asks you to during the boot. [06:30] when i checked the disc integrity it was ok [06:30] danfuhry: ah, I didn't see why it was being stopped [06:30] i checked it [06:30] Thank you, Neoaddict. [06:30] integrity doesn't mean it's a boot disc though. [06:30] the disc had folders and such [06:30] I'm from China. Where are you from? [06:30] timothywcrane it's in mjpegtools, try which ppmtoy4m [06:30] not just an iso [06:31] Ben: Canada? [06:31] oh ok [06:31] right..I understand..It still might not be a boot disc.. [06:31] thanks guys [06:31] Hi all [06:31] that would suck [06:31] the one i burned before was corrupt [06:31] been there done that. I have mjpegtools installed, verified, apt update- upgrade- reinstall still not found in locate or in usr/bin where it should be [06:31] I'm Chinese. [06:31] what program do you use to create CD's? [06:31] InfraRecorder for win [06:32] I've never tried that one.. [06:32] kdeden is supposed to be good [06:32] Ben: ok [06:32] live [06:32] kdedenlive sorry [06:32] timothywcrane it's on my machine. sudo apt-get install --reinstall mjpegtools would definitely reinstall the file in /usr/bin [06:33] Ben: enjoy your afternoon, but unfortunately, it's getting late here XD [06:34] SixStringer ifrarecorder, imgburn in windows, gnomebaker and k3b for ubuntu are my usual tools [06:34] If you right-click on the iso file, does it give you an option to open it in a cd burning program? [06:34] doing it now. Did it in synaptic earlier, but CLI is usually better [06:34] SixStringer you can directly burn it from the right click menu in gnome (ubuntu) [06:34] Canada? it must be 18:00 there? [06:34] yeah..this is vista though for xynth.. [06:35] SixStringer imgburn [06:35] she's probably burnt a cd that's not bootable. [06:35] anyone else having midnight ISP failures? [06:35] imgburn has never failed me burning an iso. And it verifies ;) [06:35] it doesn't give me the option to burn [06:36] but it does give me open with InfraRecorder [06:36] i was just wondering does anyone have any experience in installing Ubuntu on PSP? [06:36] ok...nickrud put it out there...imgburn [06:36] guestadmin_ still working? [06:36] nickrud, yep [06:36] imgburn hmmm I wish I would have known that before I spent all that money on nero... for burning iso's [06:36] How can I have a private conversation here? what is the order? [06:37] Ben /msg [06:37] nickrud..is that something you run in dos or is it an executable with an install? [06:37] nickrud - did as you sid, still not located [06:37] driving me nuts [06:37] I am on heron if it matters [06:37] SixStringer Don't remember exactly, and it's on my work machine, not here. [06:37] No such nick/channel [06:37] ok.. [06:38] hang on xynth.. [06:38] nickrud, I also noticed that my cursor is back to normal in everything except its still weird in Firefox so far, wireless Internet disconnected for a split second and reconnected itself [06:38] timothywcrane that is very odd. Try purging it, deleting it from the cache, and then reinstalling [06:38] Ben: its a good idea to ask first before /msg ing people :D [06:38] it gave me another error [06:38] Blaqlight ben was smart, pm'd the guy that told him how to ;) [06:39] lol nice. [06:39] guestadmin_ when you're upgrading from one release to another, you'll probably have strangeness until the install is complete and you've rebooted into the new kernel [06:39] !menu [06:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about menu [06:40] danfuhry [06:40] it says that I need the libc [06:40] sorry Ben I miss whats going on in here, [06:40] to compile the kernel something like that [06:40] and it gave me the same error [06:40] so you know those three menus that are (by default) at the upper left corner of the screen. Applications, Places and System. Is there anyway i can rename those menus, and give them different icons? or am i stuck with those names? [06:40] jose: you probably need kernel development files [06:41] chipbuddy stuck with those names [06:41] how can I get those? [06:41] =/ [06:41] apt-get install build-essential linux-headers [06:41] boo! [06:41] Ben: my comment above was a hint to ask first :P [06:41] jose: actually, the proper way to do it would be linux-headers-$(uname -r) [06:42] ok [06:42] Hello yawl.. one think you can help me get my CD drives to mount? [06:42] Thank you. I'll read some guide for IRC. [06:43] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [06:43] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [06:43] I have a question about fluxbox actually. I want to change my cursor, it gives me an option to set it but I don't know how to use all of the cursors of a given theme (it only gives me the option to use a group versus 1) [06:43] danfuhry [06:43] jose: close all other package managers e.g. synaptic ... [06:44] jose: you forgot the "sudo" part >_> [06:44] >.> [06:44] nickrud, ok, it stopped, here's the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32892/ [06:44] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [06:44] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [06:44] sorry [06:44] well purged mjpegtools, lost kmediafactory in the process, and all libraries assoc. hope I don't wind up in dependency hell for this....lol [06:45] when i press the power button i am presented with the options 'shutdown' 'restart' 'hibernate' etc. how do i make it so that when i click on 'hibernate' it runs 'sudo hibernate-ram'?? [06:45] it says now [06:45] You should explicitly select one to install. [06:45] E: Package linux-headers has no installation candidate [06:46] my bad i forgot again the -$(uname -r) [06:46] guestadmin_ run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again, and post the errors from that. They should be short enough that I can see all of them :) [06:46] jose: type 'sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers [06:46] done [06:46] they are installed [06:46] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [06:46] geez, middle button paste causes an 'enter' after the paste so its never complete. [06:46] brb let me go check if I can install the drivers now :) [06:47] nickrud, ok, will do, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:47] Can't find ppmtoy4m, please install it or check -M parameter - still - just want to string some jpegs into a vid. [06:48] not sure if im still here? [06:48] you still are [06:48] lol thanks [06:48] timothywcrane you're supposed to say, "no, you left" [06:48] lol [06:49] hey nick, coulc you tell me the repository you used for mjpegtools [06:49] nothing I do helps [06:49] timothywcrane my apt-cache policy mjegtools says hardy/multiverse [06:49] nickrud, here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32894/ [06:50] thanks standard - same as mine. what gives. [06:50] guestadmin_ now try sudo apt-get -f install [06:51] nickrud, ok will do, sudo apt-get -f install [06:51] now, sudo apt-get moo [06:52] sn9 that hoary old joke? [06:52] why not? [06:53] danfuhry [06:53] when i press the power button i am presented with the options 'shutdown' 'restart' 'hibernate' etc. how do i make it so that when i click on 'hibernate' it runs 'sudo hibernate-ram'?? [06:53] installation was completed but I have a problem now [06:54] I restarted and it showed me low resolution and the card was not being detected [06:54] revilodraw: you want "suspend" not "hibernate" [06:54] sn9 aptitude moo && aptitude moo -v && aptitude moo -vv && aptitude moo -vvv && aptitude moo -vvvv && aptitude moo -vvvvv && aptitude moo -vvvvvv [06:54] nickrud: i prefer apt-get, thank you very much [06:55] sn9 - hmm i dont really mind, i just want one of those buttons to run the program 'sudo hibernate-ram' [06:55] is that a script you wrote yourself? [06:55] sn9 some day I'll be a vegetarian, and apt-get moo is the first bit of beef I'm giving up [06:55] hi, i need help, when i go to share a file it gives me an error [06:55] danfuhry =/ [06:55] greetings [06:56] im on 800x600 T_T [06:56] * Blaqlight quickly types all of that in... uhm is that a joke? [06:56] sn9- no i got it from the repositories, and it works beautifully [06:56] why is vi broke in Ubuntu? when I'm in insert mode it doesnt let me use arrow keys [06:56] jshriver: install "vim" [06:56] guestadmin_ is it downloading gnunet and openoffice stuff? [06:56] jshriver: sudo apt-get vim-gnome [06:57] I can't get vim to work past the introduction screen. [06:57] jshriver: sudo apt-get install vim-gnome [06:57] Blaqlight: do you have the full version? [06:57] Blaqlight use vimtutor to get started [06:57] Flannel: probably not, how do I tell? [06:57] does anyone have any advice for me? [06:57] a gui version? [06:57] looking for plain CLI as most of my servers are headless and no X [06:57] jshriver: vim-tiny (which isn't very vim-like) is installed by default, you'll need to install "vim" to get the full package (not vim-full, that installs full vim, plus gnome) [06:57] godmode117 someday I'll learn to share files too ;) [06:58] thanks checking [06:58] Blaqlight: You'll need to install "vim" if you haven't. The default version is fairly... useless for most people. [06:58] jose__: i gotta hit the sack. just try making sure your kernel headers are installed, then stop gdm and open that nvidia file with sh like i said before. sorry to leave ya hanging, but it's like 2AM here. [06:58] nickrud, yep, just stopped right now, heres the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/32895/ Also noticed darker background, and the top right corner has the restart required message and also a light bulb for information about updates?.?.?. [06:58] jshriver: visit #vim [06:58] * De[X]tone back [06:58] hmm prolly not considering its saying that vim-runtime is missing [06:58] that was it :) thanks, didnt realise there was different versions of vim lol [06:58] * chalcedony smiles [06:58] its ok [06:58] np [06:58] thanks for the help [06:58] guestadmin_ all good. run the dist-upgrade one more time for luck, and reboot. [07:00] nickrud, ok here goes, fingers crossed, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:00] im not having a big problem i just need to know how to "sudo sharefile filename" or something like that [07:00] Flannel: I have, it runs, but it is uhm.. quite useless. to me, Id love to use it because it comes highly recommended. [07:00] godmode117: sharing with windows? [07:00] no [07:00] xbmc [07:00] Blaqlight: ah, you don't know how to use vim? alright, run "vimtutor" and it'll get you up to speed. [07:00] there isnt even a mention of ppmtoy4m in synaptic search on Hardy. This is nuts. [07:01] gotta wait for an hour... 56k connection :( [07:01] does anyone know how to change the commands of the 'hibernate' button? [07:01] timothywcrane I think synaptic only searches package titles by default, you have to tell it to search descriptions [07:01] timothywcrane: its in the package "mjpegtools" [07:01] timothywcrane: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=ppmtoy4m&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any [07:01] i have added a few friends repos and did another upgrade, byt mgpegtools was not in the list. === [ID]-7986 is now known as GeorgeZL [07:01] godmode117, you mean the media center? [07:01] just a mispelling on the chat sorry [07:01] timothywcrane: mjpegtools is in hardy, un multiverse. [07:02] revilodraw: i believe it's part of the hal-info pkg [07:02] timothywcrane: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mjpegtools [07:02] I have it installed [07:02] Flannel you should check your scrollback, timothywcrane has a seemingly weird situation with that executable [07:02] but I still get the error to install ppmtoy4m [07:03] timothywcrane: sudo apt-get remove --purge mjpegtools [07:03] sorry if this is the wrong channel, but all the smart people are here.. Q: what are the meanings of 'private' and 'public' ports, when forwarding ports in my router === _Paracha is now known as Paracha [07:03] timothywcrane: oh, you've been here already. [07:03] yes , [07:03] sn9; is that a file i can edit? [07:03] hey at least my friends repos are giving me some Alien Arena mods I didn't have. lol [07:04] timothywcrane: Well, it's definately in there. Are you sure you purged it? [07:04] moreau: private == local, public == remote [07:04] godmode117, are you following this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=458675 ? [07:04] how do i get alien on a shell [07:04] timothywcrane: Try purging, then cleaning your cache (sudo apt-get clean) then reinstall (to force the download again) [07:04] you can get it, but not play it. [07:04] i have a laptop with a broadcom wireless nic built in. the problem is the nic boots in an "off" state and i need to manually turn it on and redo the iwconfig. for some reason it used to boot in "ON" mode. any ideas? [07:04] no, i have xbmc installed on my xbox [07:04] revilodraw: you can list the files in a pkg with dpkg -L pkgname [07:04] facing problem in the following rewrite rule, RewriteRule ^/example.php?msg=(.*)&number=(.*)&key=(.*)$ [07:05] and im trying to share files with that [07:05] I did [07:05] hexpuem you do ifup and ifdown to no avail ? [07:05] hexpuem: some laptops have an "rfkill" switch managed through acpi [07:05] so settin the priv port as '5002' and the public as '845' means they can only connect to me if their outoing signal comes from port 845 and lands at my 5002 port? [07:05] but when i go to "properties>share>share this folder" i get an error [07:06] od: the interface is up even though its off for whatever reason [07:06] it says i dont have permission [07:06] you want to share files between xbox and ubuntu? [07:06] I will remove clean update upgrade install then check again. Current upgrade willtake a minute, thanks for the convo [07:06] yes, ive done it before on windoze [07:06] facing problem in the following rewrite rule, RewriteRule ^/example.php?msg=(.*)&number=(.*)&key=(.*)$ /index.php?module=photos&action=$1&id=$2&do=$3 [L,NC] [07:06] it works but as soon it gets question mark it breaks. [07:06] can anyone tell me wats wrong in this rule [07:06] hexpuem rf is the radio on/off [07:06] moreau: they connect to what they think is your port 845, but is really 5002 [07:06] hexpuem o ppwersaving feature on laptops shuts it off [07:06] ranjeeta: try #apache [07:07] how do i get alien on a shell so i can convert rpm into deb files [07:07] which folder you want to share? is it in your home directory? [07:07] hmm [07:07] actually i think the problem started when i disabled the power saving stuff for my video card [07:07] no its on another hardrive [07:07] ranjeeta: have you tried quoting the question mark ? like \? [07:07] svh: alien is usually trouble; avoid it if possible [07:07] fglrx would lock up in logout because of its power saving daemon [07:07] so i killed it [07:07] ah, the public #is just a mask that displays the port as 845, but is really 5002 [07:08] sn9; i think i have found the file. /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate [07:08] revilodraw: ok [07:08] godmode117, right click on it and look under properties>permisions [07:08] owner: root [07:08] group:root [07:09] I am so sorry, I stated about the game, and you the repackaging tool. I agree, stay away, you WILL have more problems with RPM to deb conversion than it is worth, compile instead [07:09] hexpuem try this in root terminal > iwconfig txpower on [07:09] sn9: well i dont know how much you know on the subject, but can i simply change the content of that file to 'sudo hibernate-ram'?? [07:09] godmode117, on which partition is this file?

I am planning on turning an old computer (Compaq Presario 2157SR, was running windowsME) into a server using Ubuntu server. However, I found out that larger HDD's may not work as internal hard drives. How well would an external hard drive work with the "server"? [07:20] when my laptop wakes up from hibernate, my wireless connection is lost until i go into 'network' and click on wireless, then click on it again, sort of 'touching' the wlan0 interface, is there anyway to make my hibernate wake-up script 'touch' the wlan0 interface automatically?? [07:20] timothywcrane, i use a different intonation so its okay.... [07:20] :-) [07:20] i just need some one to kinda translate into lamens terms for me [07:21] untraceable: you can pretend it's dial-up, and use #777 as the number to dial [07:21] hi all. I just installed ubuntu on a toshiba laptop and am now trying to install proprietary drivers for my ATI Radeon 9000 graphics card. I get the error: "X Server: unable to connect" [07:21] has anyone encountered this? [07:21] lol [07:21] which modem will i use for that from the ubuntu list [07:21] acrousey: larger hard disks are only a problem under windows; linux will see the whole thing anyway [07:22] hey guy, i accidnetally a whole pc, is this bad? [07:22] Ithilin: open Xfce settings manager > Keyboard > shortcuts and change the command for Alt+F2 there [07:22] have to go compiling needs the cpus [07:22] sn9: really? I heard that it may not function because it may not be compatible with the motherboard [07:22] Hello [07:22] anyone can help? [07:22] acrousey: Linux can bypass the BIOS and get around that [07:23] discombobulated: You accidentally what? [07:23] pist0l-fish: 9000 does not need the proprietary drivers [07:23] sn9: what should I do? [07:23] yes, was camming and accidentally a whooole pc. is fix? [07:23] pist0l-fish: and "cannot connect" is because you used "su" or "sudo -i" [07:23] I kind of figured it out on my own, without doing that lol. :P As soon as I joined someone said "link" so I was like wow I can just create a sym link. [07:23] superfirelord42? [07:23] Is there any way to change the default action for inserting a dvd...I remember in 7.10 and 1.04 you could go to removable drives and media and there was an option for cd's and dvds but it seems to have been removed for hardy... [07:23] So It works perfect now [07:24] sn9, LSDninja: besides the HDD is SATA and the connector is IDE [07:24] sn9: i tried sudo without -i [07:24] pist0l-fish: it should "just work" out-of-the-box [07:24] discombobulated native language ? [07:24] Hello? [07:24] xavieran, hello [07:24] sn9: I'm going to try and run glxgears. Will it not start if I have no proper graphics card configuration?

[07:25] I'll try that...thanks...though I wonder why they'd remove it from the removable drives and media app? [07:25] How can i find who was nicknamed superfirelord42 two weeks ago? [07:25] italian [07:25] acrousey: they still make some ide disks [07:25] !it [07:25] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

I'm running rsync -anI on a dir that is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is 527805686600" wtf? :/ Bueller?

[07:27] Flannel, its working :) [07:27] acrousey: you will need a PCI type of card to connect that HD [07:27] wassup [07:27] wazzup [07:27] wasshup [07:27] washup [07:27] Hi I need help with the repositories [07:27] PCI type of card? [07:28] azhar27, what do you need? [07:28] debCarlos: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [07:28] I accidently deleted them [07:28] i mean removed them [07:28] now apt-get install does not work [07:28] azhar27: Go to Software Sources, and you can regenerate them [07:28] you run hardy? [07:28] yup 8.04 [07:28] Yes [07:28] I tried that too === john_ is now known as Blaqlight [07:29] xavieran: thanks, i'll check [07:29] acrousey: an addon card... pci pci-x [07:29] !help [07:29] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:29] third party sources are blank [07:29] acrousey: there isn't just some "gender changer" to put on the end of the cable [07:29] azhar27: Right. If you had any, you'll have to re-add them [07:29] if I got an answer to my question about x and xcursor I didn't get it. [07:29] Bogus8: yes there is; it's $30 [07:30] bogus8: actually, i think i saw a "gender adapter" [07:30] lovely === paul__ is now known as oudidiou [07:30] would that work? [07:30] Flannel : Sorry, i don't get it [07:30] sn9: and you are better off with an addon card for the same price ;) [07:30] azhar27, i think this is the default lits: http://de.pastebin.ca/868272 [07:30] Bogus8: add-on cards cost $10 [07:30] Salut à tous ! [07:30] sn9: it's not as simple as a "regular" gender changer [07:30] Itai : do u want me to add it as a repository [07:30] so, an add on card would actually be cheaper? [07:30] azhar27: third party software is where you add stuff, nothing is there by default. If you've deleted third party software stuff, you'll have to remember what you add, and readd them. [07:31] sn9: where are you buying your gear at? [07:31] I'm having some issues with slow file transfers with NFS and Samba on a wireless LAN [07:31] xavieran: ok, i checked it, but, how can i find superfirelord42 now? [07:31] bogus8: you can find it at newegg [07:31] azhar27, you put that list in /etc/apt/sources.list [07:31] Bogus8: anywhere -- check google product search [07:31] this has got to be something simple. installed wicd, can connect to wireless, cannot surf or ping anything on LAN, destination unreachable [07:31] hey all [07:31] acrousey: that's where I shop [07:31] help [07:31] sn9: I guess you meant before shipping [07:31] @flannel : sorry for being noob, how do i re add them by cd rom or adding it from a mirror [07:32] Bogus8: newegg shipping is $$ [07:32] azhar27: What are you trying to add? (it depends on what you're adding) [07:32] azhar27, sudo apt-cdrom add [07:32] sn9: it cost something.. usually 5-6 bucks for cheap items [07:32] http://www.bash.org/?482970 [07:32] otherwise, fry's or such [07:32] i have 4 identical computers that need to be set up almost identically except for hostname, etc. i was thinking of using dd, but wont that hose udev rules, like the ones that associate my eth0 with my nic's mac? [07:32] Rolls 2 6-sided dice: 1 6 [07:32] this is bad [07:32] my goal is to ghost it [07:32] xavieran: Please take that elsewhere. [07:32] does anyone know what controls cursors in x ... is it xcursor.. and if so, how do I change it/them [07:33] hello, can anyone help me [07:33] i can connect to wireless essid, cannot surf or ping, help?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:33] So I'm confused here.. I'm running rsync -anI on a dir that is a 441g partition mounted using 400g of space (4% free)... the results of that rsync says "total size is 527805686600" [07:33] how do i get alien on to the command line after getting su mode [07:33] great [07:33] ok, all of my wireless devices are at 36Mb with a strong signal (80%). Both NFS and Samba transfer files at about 7Mb === seb_ is now known as Archess [07:34] bogus8, sn9: what would be better in my situation, an add-on card or an adapter? [07:34] i cant access my cdrom drive [07:34] i am very new to ubuntu [07:34] acrousey: card [07:34] acrousey: that's already been answered [07:34] i can connect to wireless essid, cannot surf or ping, help?

I am running Hardy Heron Server amd64 and have a VIA PCI Sata Controller Card installed in the machine.. The primary device on the sata controller is a 500GB HD (used to be an external HD but i ripped the shell off). The second device on the stat controller is a Samsung DVD Drive.. (aka Kreon Drive). The HD Drive is readable/writable and works fine. The DVD Drive does not seem to b [07:34] kindofabuzz: what kind of card? [07:35] sn9, broadcom, everything was fine until i installed wicd and tried to use wpa [07:35] ok, i`ll try that link flannel... [07:35] WIGGMPk: your question was cut off. what did you say after "the DVD drive does not seem to..." [07:35] mark__: That link wasn't for you. [07:35] How can i find some nick in all the server? [07:35] kindofabuzz: wicd is to be avoided except for acx cards [07:35] oh.. [07:35] kindofabuzz: have you tried pinging your wireless access point? [07:35] kindofabuzz isnt BCMxx in the blcaklist ?Broadcom chipset [07:35] Hi there ! [07:35] vox: the dvd drive does not seem to be available to the system [07:36] dglkn, yeah, no go, but i'm connected to it and have an ip [07:36] WIGGMPk: how does it not appear to be available? [07:36] I mean, is there a command to search in the server for a nick? [07:36] I've got a error when I try to launch pythons programs : http://pastebin.com/m517b2273 [07:36] vox: i cant think of the command off the top of my head but.. it lists like every device.. and its not listed [07:36] sn9: rsync will also duplicate udev rules that could break networking, among other things i may have not considered yet [07:36] debCarlos: /who *nick* [07:36] Flannel : when i try to add this -deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe [07:36] how can i just reinstall NM with no internet? i tried adding the cdrom [07:37] lstarnes: ok [07:37] FuriousGeorge: just try it first [07:37] WIGGMPk: cd/dvd-roms will only show up when there's something in them. put a dvd movie in, and then type "mount" and you'll see it [07:37] kindofabuzz in SPM Network-Manager, but i believe you may have to remove Wicd first [07:37] azhar27: to third party? [07:37] Blaqlight: installing a cursor theme ? i personally never mess with xcursor, drop the new theme /usr/share/icons and to get X11 support, i change /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme to point to the new theme (Inherits=) [07:37] i'm back :) [07:37] yup [07:37] azhar27: that's not a third party repo, you can add that by checking the checkboxes [07:38] ManualOverDozer8, yeah i know to remove it, what are you talking about SPM NM? [07:38] Flannel : there are no checkboxes, i accidently removed the,. [07:38] mark__: Is your CD drive internal? was it connected hen you installed? [07:38] hey Flannel [07:38] hey bderrly [07:38] the dvd drive works for dvds, but i have 8gb of data i want to access, word files etc, that works on my XP laptop but not in ubuntu. [07:38] azhar27: On the first tab, there's the official software. [07:38] kindofabuzz: if you uninstalled it, sudo apt-get --install-recommends install ubuntu-desktop [07:38] Ok, i didn't find the nickname, anyone here used that nickname? [07:38] internal [07:38] sn9: i have and thats been a problem, which makes me wonder what else is a problem, which makes me wonder if i should do it in a production enviornment [07:38] mark__: so, the dual layer doesn't seem to work? [07:38] vox: how would it show up? [07:38] kindofabuzz Synaptic Package Manager has Newtwrok-Manager in it [07:38] sn9, huh? that will install NM without internet? [07:39] looks like "iwconfig wlan0 txpower on" doesnt work for my NIC [07:39] WIGGMPk: something like "/dev/sdc0 /media/somethingsomething" [07:39] dont think so as disney cars works [07:39] kindofabuzz: no, with [07:39] i tried setting it to auto and fixed etc [07:39] no internet for the 3rd time =) [07:39] oh yes [07:39] Flannel : i have checked all the checkboxes on the first tab [07:39] vox: not there [07:39] kinfofbuzz if you didnt remove the packages complete, then they should be still there [07:39] kindofabuzz: use wired ethernet until wifi works again [07:39] restriced, multiverse , main and universe [07:39] azhar27: then you have deb-src for universe, or should. [07:39] dmesg -> The hardware RF-kill button still turns the radio physically off. Press the button to turn it on. [07:39] sn9, not an option [07:40] Flannlel I think i have it [07:40] ManualOverDozer8, hmm when i apt-get i just get the errors from not finding the repos [07:40] #django-sprint [07:40] WIGGMPk: hmm [07:40] But sudo apt-get install amarok does not work [07:40] i just tried this [07:40] there's got to be some way to just say hey, pull of the cd [07:40] off* [07:40] kindofbuzz then you may have to hool it up LAN like sn9 suggested [07:40] it says package amarok has no installation candicate [07:41] so no option to just apt-get off the cd? [07:41] I need to find who's now superfirelord42... anyone here knows how to do it? [07:41] modprobe ath_pci rfkill=0 ??? [07:41] kindofabuzz: for the alternate cd, yes; for the desktop cd, not really [07:41] azhar27: That wouldn't be source debs, that'd be binaries. Alright, close out of that menu, and pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [07:41] i am using OOO and while editing a document, it is randomly hanging for a second or 2. anybody seen this and know how to fix it ? [07:41] sn9, ok i have an alternate, apt-cdrom add the alternate? [07:41] sn9 : i am not sure how that works, i have LiveCD and it has it on that , so i cant really say for his issue [07:41] kindofabuzz: that would work, yes [07:41] vox: i really need that DVD drive to work.. lol [07:41] ok lemme go try all that [07:41] glitsj16: omg Im sorry I wasn't around thanks to highlight I got your messege :D [07:42] vox: the problem with my situation is that i dont have the alternative to use onboard sata.... =( [07:42] but really, why is wicd causing me to connect but can't ping or surf? gotta be something simple [07:42] sn9 : is that the checkbox in choosing repositories, where you can select CD-ROM ? [07:42] Blaqlight: very handy indeed, i forgot to add .. and restart X after doing all that .. but i guess you figured that out by yourself :p [07:42] ManualOverDozer8: just put it in [07:43] Flannel : I don't get it [07:43] debCarlos: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:43] glitsj16: uh yeah I got that :P [07:43] azhar27: What don't you get? [07:43] sn8 : ok, just curious, thank you [07:43] where should i paste /etc/apt/sources [07:43] WIGGMPk: what chipset? [07:43] !paste | azhar27 [07:43] azhar27: 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) [07:43] I'm getting really slow network file transfers with my wireless LAN. Distance from the router is not the problem. I've got my devices set to 36Mb/sec, and the transfers are only about 7Mb/sec [07:43] kindofabuzz you have IP ??? hmm [07:43] sn9: what chipset is the SATA PCI Card? [07:43] Flannel: Ok [07:43] WIGGMPk: you said motherboard sata [07:44] dglkn: which wifi is it? [07:44] Flannel : Ok [07:44] linksys [07:44] wrt54gs [07:44] sn9: i said i dont have the alternative of using onboard sata.. because i dont have any [07:44] dglkn: not the router, the wifi adapter in your computer [07:45] WIGGMPk: oh, never mind [07:45] Flannel : http://paste.ubuntu.com/32905/ [07:45] sn9: ok, the one in my laptop is bcm43xx, and the one in my desktop is rt61pci [07:45] azhar27: no, no. Pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list [07:46] Flannel : ok [07:46] dglkn: and which one is slow? [07:46] sup [07:46] !hi | linxUz3r [07:46] linxUz3r: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:46] sn9: i'm not sure [07:46] linxUz3r: this is not a social channel, if you're looking to chat, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [07:47] dglkn: first of all, for rt61pci, you have to do "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M" to get full speed [07:47] ok [07:47] sn9: that actually made it slower [07:47] sn9: for some reason, 36M seems to be optimal [07:47] dglkn: for the broadcom, you have to upgrade to the "b43" driver instead of "bcm43xx" [07:48] Flannel : http://paste.ubuntu.com/32907/ [07:48] glitsj16: is it easier just to put the cursors where the old link points too (/etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme) or leave the cursors where they are /usr/share/icons and put a link to that theme where the lnk currently exists... [07:48] sn9: i just used the restricted drivers for the bcm43 [07:48] azhar27: You pasted the contents of the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ I need the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list. Type this: nano /etc/apt/sources.list [07:48] dglkn : maybe this page can help a little > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/bcm43xx-fwcutter [07:49] dglkn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/b43-fwcutter [07:49] Blaclight: i never touch anything besides changing that index.theme file to point to the new cursor theme under /usr/share/icons .. can' t tell sorry [07:49] sn9: i already have that installed [07:49] @flannel : I did [07:50] dglkn: which? bcm, or b43?

[08:44] sn9 10x [08:44] kaushal: the last two are dependant of whether you have something else that uses apr (which, you'll see when it says "are you sure you want to remove this? it'll also remove [useful programs]" [08:44] so i have to specify each and every package [08:45] kaushal: "each and every" consists of four or so. There are automated ways [08:45] Flannel : http://paste.ubuntu.com/32919/ [08:46] azhar27: looks like your problem is that mirror (http://ftp.iitm.ac.in) isn't up [08:46] azhar27: change mirrors, and you should be fine.

[09:11] Yeah it's not that I can't install the drivers, I install the binary drivers from nvidia manually. But the problem is the live CD crashes due to trying to load the nv driver. [09:11] Fairly decent card, barduck [09:11] barduck: i doubt that the new cards will be listed there though. [09:11] adamw9678: i will check. i know the Stylistic models use the "fpit" driver [09:12] Thank mate [09:12] allora??????? [09:12] I suppose I'll just download the alternate cd.

[09:14] barduck, every nvidia one anyway, just don't get a GeForce 6800, they are a pain in the ass.

[09:16] drugo let me get the permanent fix for you [09:16] Lvl21nerd: boot from the livecd [09:16] ok, so the 8400GS is reasonably prices and seems to be supported. I will check that one out [09:16] iustinus, the nv driver causes crashes on mine, so I need to use vesa until I can install the real binary drivers. [09:16] sn9: then what?.... [09:16] blankthemuffin: I can't get any good resolutions on this monitor [09:16] yaaaaaaaaaaa [09:16] Lvl21nerd: GParted Partition Editor [09:17] k i will try [09:17] And xserver-xorg is being stupid. I've no idea how to manually configure xorg.conf, and I can't dpkg-reconfigure it. [09:17] drugo : is it WEP or WPA ? [09:17] wpa [09:17] Does anyone know a solution to this problem? [09:17] hi all [09:17] drugo is there a checkbox that you can see that say autoconnect or auto accept [09:17] iustinus, there is a nvidia application which does it automagically. [09:17] sn9: using GParted wont damage info or data contained on the rest of the drive? [09:17] iustinus, nvidia-xconfig [09:17] blankthemuffin: I can't get it to work. Which drive should be installed? Restricted hardware. [09:17] Lvl21nerd: unless you lose power [09:17] drive = driver. [09:18] Lv1 Gparted is nasty [09:18] i need help with maskarada HELP [09:18] drugo : in your interfaces file you can add this > wireless-essid wlan0 [09:18] wireless-key XXXXXX [09:18] drugo: which wifi driver? [09:18] oops two lines it should be one [09:18] it will kill otherd data [09:18] iustinus, oh ok, I'm not sure with that, I personally use the binary drivers straight from the nvidia website, but EnvyNG is probably your best bet. [09:18] bcm-43xxx === zap is now known as zapzap [09:18] wlan0 can be ath0 is you run atheros chipset [09:19] iustinus, http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [09:19] blankthemuffin: ah, should I just DL the binary drivers from NVIDIA then? [09:19] can anyone help. my two sata dvdrw drives wont MOUNT any media, other than prerecorded films. i need to be able to load 8gb of my old files. [09:19] drugo: in 8.04, b43 replaces bcm43xx, and WPA should work [09:20] yes it works but nm-applet asks to authenticate at every start up [09:20] hey people! I'm trying to restore a damaged ubuntu dapper (6.06 LTS server) system from a livecd, and im trying to (re)-install libc6 (which, apparently was uninstalled). I cannot chroot into the system, so i thought i could use dpkg with the --root or --instdir option, to install something in the mounted system. Would that work, and correctly update the systems packet database? [09:20] iustinus, I do, but generally its not recommended because you have to know your way around a command line pretty well, EnvyNG is probably a much better option. [09:20] drugo : in root > gedit /etc/network/interfaces then add > wireless-key XXXXXX [09:20] can anyone help. my two sata dvdrw drives wont MOUNT any media, other than prerecorded films. i need to be able to load 8gb of my old files. [09:21] i followed these instructions (http://railshacks.blogspot.com/2008/08/installing-latest-gvim-and-vim-in.html) to install the latest version of gvim.. and now i have 2 packages (vim-gnome and vim-tiny) that are broken because they aren't the packages available in ubuntu's repos. how do i ignore them? [09:21] i suppose i would need to specify --admindir as well? [09:21] drugo : NM should do it as well , if it doesnt you can edit the interfaces file [09:21] X3, what, GParted is one of the best partitioning applications around. You only loose files if you wipe your partitions, which any partitioner will do. [09:21] no essid, only the key? [09:22] hi, how can I manage the services from the command line? [09:22] ok then [09:22] drugo : its optional but only if you never change the SSID [09:22] Hi all, on the download server I have two options of ISO's (ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso & ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso) [09:22] (like I can do with "services-admin") [09:22] which one should I get?! [09:22] i have only these two lines in the file at the moment : auto lo [09:22] iface lo inet loopback [09:22] qmemo, Unless you want to install via a text interface, get the desktop version. The alternate is text only. [09:22] to i have to specify the interface? [09:23] blanklmuffin if you say so the theres no nedd for me later saying I told you so [09:23] My problem: After upgrade from feisty to Gutsy, system wont boot to the normal 2.6.22, must manually select 2.6.20 [09:23] *do [09:23] drugo : > ifconfig -a [09:23] is there anyway to download from terminal directly to the directoy i'm currently in [09:23] http download?

[09:23] wireless is wlan0 [09:23] ohhh shoot....the 8400gs is only PCIe and I need AGP, back to the drawing board....

[09:25] how do I reformat a thumb drive? [09:25] Gnome is the default I know, I just thought to ask if I can install FluxBox while installing from the text version cd [09:25] wireless-essid [09:25] X3, I regularly use GParted to partition my many drives on many systems, unless you totally wipe a partition with data on it you're not going to loose any data. And it warns you before you do anything remotly dangerous. In any case data loss is the fault of the user not the program [09:25] thanks ! [09:25] qmemo: No, Ubuntu doesn't have custom installation options [09:25] hold on i have to stop this dumb vlc laggin the heck out of me [09:25] I'm removing kde from my system, and I get this error: dpkg-divert: error checking `/usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/media_safelyremove.desktop': No such file or directory [09:25] If you want a custom install best to use the server installation and then install other apps.

[11:05] sothe: rm -rf is a VERY agressive remove so use it wisely [11:05] ActionParsnip: better would just be /home/user/.local/share/Trash/* [11:05] yeah, i'll do. or i'll try ^^ [11:05] ul: ya then you installed the GRUB boot loader on the second disk .. so reboot and set your BIOS to boot second disk [11:05] ramontayag: don't use broken packages [11:05] this all makes sense :) [11:05] sothe: -r == recursive, f == force [11:06] Flannel: you can replace /home/user with ~/ [11:06] however can i install grub on first disk and point it at ubuntu on my second disk? [11:06] ok, thanx for the help. it worked :D [11:06] on the* [11:06] ActionParsnip: not necessarily. which is why its better to be explicit. [11:06] see you [11:06] ++ [11:06] okay.. i'll be in a bit of a rut then. the version of gvim that i need is later than what is available in ubuntu repositories. how do i install the latest gvim and not have broken packages? is it possible? [11:06] sothe: dont go using that command too much you may delete something you need [11:06] ya u have to look at one up.... reinstall grub ( google it ) [11:06] coolio [11:06] :D [11:07] sothe: its like deltree in windows [11:07] !prevu | ramontayag [11:07] will try it [11:07] ActionParsnip: when dealing with recursive and force, better to type a little more than have it backfire [11:07] thanks [11:07] Flannel: i always cd to the directory rather than typing paths, then use pwd to check [11:07] ul: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html [11:07] is a start [11:07] ramontayag: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility.

[11:37] when increasing the block size of a filesystem will it make the files appear to be bigger? like when having 200 files of 2kb each and putting them in a fs with 4kb blocks or putting them in a fs with 8kb blocks, could it be that the files appear to be bigger on the 8kb blocks fs?

[11:38] wow my typing has actually improved.. a bit. [11:38] Yes soundray it is [11:38] but on average a file then wastes 4kB while with 4kB blocks it wastes ~2kB pre file [11:39] it maybe because i tried a software update to new kernel but i cant install it cause it cant backup /boot something cause im on Fat32 :( [11:39] wols: thanks then this copying from one disk to a raid setup can't be because of diffrent block sizes :) [11:39] JontyO: make a tar and copy away the tar [11:39] huh ? [11:39] confused :S [11:39] Sorry im a noob [11:39] :P [11:39] obviously [11:39] acemo: the file itself doesn't take up any more space, its just how the filesystem interprets the space available for a certian block of code/text/ whatever.

[11:41] the lower the block size the less per bock the filesystem reads the block as full.
