How do I dual screen? [00:14] kitche, I know just setting it at the shell works. I want to know where it should be set. Because it is not set in gnome-terminal (and therefore cd, e.g. doesn't work) [00:14] c03, are you a java programmer? [00:14] Brent: and that has to do with Ubuntu? you being on windows doesn't really mean a lot with your ubuntu freezing [00:15] hi [00:15] My old graphics card was also nvidia so I asume the drivers don't have to be changed.

It is in System->Preferences->Remote Desktop, then get his IP and use the Remote Desktop Viewer to access his PC. If he is behind a firewall/router, then some configuration is required on his router [00:23] alraune what do i need to enter as server detail [00:23] eraldo: you could try using the lsb command to put it in there [00:23] Hello, I have just dist-upgraded Dapper to Hardy (was said to be supported on the forums), and after some errors that were corrected, the upgrade was seemingly well through. I can't reboot, though; when booting into the new kernel, it fails a FSCK, and gives me endless rows of messages saying : "[number xxxx] device-mapper: table:253:2:linear:dm-linear: Device lookup failed" [00:23] kitche: lsb ? [00:23] richard: I'm not too experiecened with that on ubuntu, but before i remote controlled win machines with ultra vnc.. started to wok on that a week ago.. [00:23] lusepuster: it is supported. This looks like a bug, have you checked launchpad? [00:24] Hey I was an idiot and installed Gnome on accident, how do I get rid of it so I use Fluxbox again? [00:24] kitche: I mean just like I have done it with the hostname... [00:24] eraldo: it's like lsb_release -a or something like that the bot used to have a factoid to tell people how to get what version they are on but it doesn't work with this bot [00:24] Flannel, no... I'll do that [00:24] eraldo: yep same exact way actually [00:24] Hey I was an idiot and installed Gnome on accident, how do I get rid of it so I use Fluxbox again? [00:24] lusepuster: It *probably* has to do with the /dev/ to UUID conversion (knowing nothing but what you just said) [00:24] yes thank you it works [00:24] basically first you must enable an ssh connection to the other computer (server&client), then use vnc the same way (s&c) and tell it to use that connection [00:25] thank you buzain [00:25] thank you alraune [00:25] Flannel: It has been making trouble before... [00:25] How do I disable gnome? [00:25] kitche: isn't there already a builtin variable just like `hostname` but with system information [00:25] by for now [00:25] richard: most welcomed [00:26] eraldo: not really [00:26] kitche: any idea where I can find a list of the builtin variables ?

[00:44] eraldo: so... hit tab twice :) [00:44] scarface88: you can up the resolution by using vga=799 on your kernel line during boot, but it may or may not work 'as on tv' so you may want to try a lower resolution first https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [00:44] eraldo: the backticks just execute that command/set of commands, and fill the backticks with the output [00:45] so, blahblah `uname -a` ends up running "blablah [output from "uname -a"] [00:45] alraune sorry im really new to linux. can you please explain further as i dont understand what you mean?

Good night [00:47] i know that technically you can't recover (undelete) files on ext3, but it seemed possible, even if it was unreliable, are there any tools out there that allow this?

[00:47] Flannel: is there also one that outputs something like a string of the system used ? e.g. Ubuntu8.04 or so [00:47] Ademan: undel i think [00:48] eraldo: that'd be lsb_release with ... one if its options [00:48] Ademan: google undelete ext3, you'll see it [00:48] Ademan: http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [00:48] is there some stock script/program that would randomize content on my generic mp3 player: 1) i insert my mp3 player and drives /sdd and /sdc are created... 2) all content is removed 3) new randomized content (up to 2G each per drive) is transferred onto drive. done. :P [00:48] sup mah peeps [00:49] Flannel: thanks, ubuntu wouldn't reclaim any of the deleted blocks unless you explicitly wrote to disk... right? [00:49]  Raz0R: using gnome or kde ? [00:49] Ademan: Depends. Reboot and mount it read-only if you don't have a liveCD. [00:49] Ademan: Filesystem caretaking happens automatically.

[01:06] akaaka: But, your real benefit would be to install bootchart, and see what's taking so long on boot. [01:06] whats more safe [01:06] bootchat? [01:06] akaaka: editing menu.lst is probably safer than using start up manager [01:06] cool thanks [01:06] how bootchart works [01:06] akaaka: boot chart, it makes a graph of what takes what time while booting [01:06] I have never heard of or used bootchat [01:06] bootchart* [01:06] I am having a problem installing a .cgwdtheme ||| My theme manager does not recognize the file as a valid theme [01:07] !bootchart | swordfish, akaaka [01:07] swordfish, akaaka: bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot [01:07] moolcool: [WWW] PulseAudio is a sound server for POSIX and Win32 systems. A sound server is basically a proxy for your sound applications. It allows you to do advanced operations on your sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware. Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing the sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one are easily achieved ... [01:07] ... using a sound server. [01:07] moolcool: easily checked .. open pavucontrol (if you have that installed) and play something in an app that works, it would show up in there so you'd be sure it's active [01:07] Flannel, swordfish: me neither yet i find it weird how it works since wouldnt that slow the comp even more [01:07] i see your point Baby_Shambl3s [01:08] Baby_Shambl3s: You run bootchart and then you disable it. [01:08] or remove it entirely. You don't need a chart each boot. [01:08] ahh (learned something new) :) [01:08] ok im getting pavucontrol from apt-get now, it has a UI right? [01:08] moolcool: yes [01:08] Flannel: oh you disable it hmm "wonder how many ppl actually did that and came here asking why their comp is slow" [01:08] I am having a problem installing a .cgwdtheme ||| My theme manager does not recognize the file as a valid theme [01:08] Baby_Shambl3s: It doesn't slow it down much, if any. [01:09] quit [01:09] Flannel: in akaaka case it would add some more time to boot [01:09] I am having a problem installing a .cgwdtheme ||| My theme manager does not recognize the file as a valid theme [01:09] Baby_Shambl3s: yes, and information on what a bottleneck is is more beneficial than choosing something arbitrarily [01:10] bootchart will add time to my bot? [01:10] akaaka: open up your menu.lst in an editor: alt-f2, gksu "gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst", then on the line near the top that starts with #kopt= remove quiet and splash and add nosplash. Save, then sudo update-grub [01:10] fidethefire122: just change the name to .emerald and emerald will install the theme [01:10] moolcool: while you're at it, "sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-pulse" (a plugin for VLC to get native audio support when using pulseaudio), if you don't want it you can always remove it later, just to check if that gets VLC working properly [01:10] ridethefire122* [01:10] Hello, I gave to ubuntu 45.2 GB and it says now 39.1 GB FREE how can i see what applications took so many GIGABYTES ?

[01:12] raw, if you don't have it installed (check your accessories) check synaptic [01:13] but i CAN rickroll myself in firefox, so that has audio, and in Pavucontroll it ajusts its volume in ALSA PCM [01:13] i had no problem upgrading [01:13] it was flawless [01:13] in windows, I get sound from my external speakers. But in Ubuntu, i only hear laptop speakers. Anyone know how I tell ubuntu to use external speakers?

VLC might need a resetting to ALSA if you changed those settings earlier [01:14] moolcool are you haveing audio issues? [01:14] Flannel: did you take your medication today? :) [01:14] yes [01:14] swordfish, it says 87.2 GB capacity and I gave 45.2 GB :P wtf?

[01:15] ooh [01:15] moolcool: did you install all of the gstreamer stuff? [01:15] swordfish, yes [01:15] moolcool: leaving VLC out of the loop for a sec, can you get Amarok to work by setting that to gstreamer ? [01:15] raw: so you can see what's using all of your space now right? [01:15] Hello. Does anyone know of any good PHP web design programs? [01:15] firefox hogging 100% CPU, ANY FIX?

(plugged in to ac or battery) [01:17] anyone know what the DVL channel is? [01:17] moolcool: nope, but http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup has loads of info on specific applications [01:17] raw: well all i can say is if you want to change it boot from a live CD and use gparted to shrink the partition (that's what i would do) [01:17] phiqtion: google should help, dodnt know what i did with the link for it check synaptic [01:17] YES!

[01:20] raw: filesystem is what you put on a partition when you "format" it [01:20] does Ubuntu use dual cores by default? [01:20] raw: correct you should have filesystem and also another partition with your windows NTFS file system on it [01:20] yes it does [01:20] sweet, thanks [01:20] node357: isnt dual core dependant on the processor you have ubuntu uses whatever processor you have [01:20] yeh swordfish, its ok now ! i did Properties on filesystem and it says 39.1 free capacity [01:20] thats a logic one [01:21] hi all [01:21] because i gave as i remember 45gb or 42.gb [01:21] you solved it yourself [01:21] does anyone here use apache on ubuntu server?

[01:22] (i'm still young) [01:22] how do I set the permissions in the apache www directories such that apache server can serve them? [01:23] phiqtion: you can just install flash on your machine (you can get it at getdeb) [01:23] they are the best for me, some friends had it and they are always talking for ubuntu. so i decided one day to perform ubuntu on my laptop. [01:23] I created a ext3 partition on my only drive. (unused space) how can I get Ubuntu to recognize it? [01:23] and am going next summer to format it and install only ubuntu.

Take a flying stab at which theyll choose [01:27] swordfish, yeah i agree.

[03:05] hi everybody [03:05] Hi [03:05] sup [03:05] Can anybody help me with Compiz Manager [03:06] Bubalooshi: just ask your questıonö donit ask to ask [03:06] <[z]neo> is there any alternative tool for remote desktop like uvnc in windows.... i love nxserver but its for linux only.. no nxserver for windows [03:06] !wine [03:06] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [03:06] I have :(... No one has answered. The changes I check off (as in apply) do not take effect. [03:06] 'top' shows memory usage. how to see memory usage for my video carrd? [03:06] lunch: Uh, how do you plan on seeing that? [03:07] ok i have a question [03:07] Linux doesn't know anything about your GPU memory. [03:07] Bubalooshi: What do you need? [03:07] if i installed and started a proxy server [03:07] The firmware on the GPU handles all memory allocations/deallocations to the GPU memory, not the Linux kernel. [03:07] Whenever I apply a setting, nothing happens. I installed Compiz Manager and nothing has happened [03:07] M32k8: what's your question? Please don't use enter as punctuation [03:07] I removed openoffice 2 and in place of it installed Openoffice 3 beta 2. The problem is, nothing happens when I run /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice. What's wrong? [03:08] Bubalooshi: what window effects manager are you using? Compiz or beryl [03:08] and set IE to connect to my linux machine and use the proxy server and the webpage i goto came up it means the server is working right? [03:08] I don't understand, where can I see this? I installed Compiz Manager, so I'd assume that's it :p. [03:08] M32k8: I would assume so [03:09] hey num1 can you test something for me [03:09] hkittysmoothie-> do a ps aux|grep soffice to see if it is running [03:09] Bubalooshi: you're using 8.4? [03:09] Yes [03:09] M32k8: pm me, I'll help [03:09] Bubalooshi: If you're running Hardy, then you're inherently running Compiz-Fusion. [03:09] bobertdos: i'm running Hardy, and i'm most definitely not running Compiz-Fusion [03:09] I cannot get any settings to work even though I installed Compiz [03:10] anyone willing to help install racer.nl on hardy 64 bits? [03:10] Bubalooshi: try right clicking your desktop, selecting the Visual effects tab, and tell us how many options you have, 3 or 4? [03:10] Bubalooshi, glxinfo | grep direct if it doesn't say "Direct rendering: yes" You'r done [03:10] amenado, it gives me "sam 13991 0.0 0.0 3004 748 pts/1 R+ 19:09 0:00 grep soffice" [03:10] Bubalooshi: You need restricted or proprietary drivers installed for your 3D card for that to work. [03:10] I right click on my desktop and there isn't a Visual effect tab [03:11] I do remember seeing it somewhere, there's 3 [03:11] Bubalooshi: I can't give you advice on which one to install from synaptic, sorry [03:11] <[z]neo> guys, how can i hit OK on package configuaration window for java? its in terminal window [03:11] Sorry to be apparently brain damaged, but I can't find the Network Properties dialog in XChat-Gnome. Can anyone help? [03:12] SeveredCross, don't know, that why i ask [03:12] Thank god. Ubuntu came back. Here's my situation... I have a ext3 partition at /dev/sda1 that is just a play partition, nothing important on it. It currently mounts on / which is not good. How can I get it to mount on a different mount point? Everytime I try to umount it, It says drive busy please try manually. If I use umount -l it makes my whole drive disappear in gparted. Any ideas [03:12] bobertdos: what makes you think that? [03:12] Am trying to install Ubuntu to an external-USB-harddrive. Anyway, after the install, I set BIOS-boot-order to USB-Harddrive first. But now BIOS/booting freezes on "Verifying DMI Pool Data" (if the USB-Harddrive is powered up). Any ideas on how to proceed? [03:12] flats: boot into recovery mode and remove it from /etc/fstab [03:13] <[z]neo> guys, how can i hit OK on package configuaration window for java? its in terminal window [03:13] OK brb [03:13] amenado, it doesn't look like soffice is already running for me- [03:13] [z]neo: spacebar [03:13] [z]neo: hit tab until it's highlighted, then space. [03:13] Oh by the way, when booting whats the difference between kernel 386 and kernel generic? [03:13] <[z]neo> thank :D [03:13] flats: You want generic. 386 is for computers that don't like generic [03:13] flats: you shouldn't have a 386 kernel. use generic [03:14] damn I thought just the opposite [03:14] thanks [03:14] TiredWolf: Because for most systems, the open-source drivers are insufficient to enable direct rendering. Now there are exceptions, but a general rule, I have found this to be the case. [03:14] brb [03:14] I removed openoffice 2 and in place of it installed Openoffice 3 beta 2. The problem is, nothing happens when I run /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice. What's wrong? [03:14] hkittysmoothie-> then perhaps thats not the executable for soffice 3 ?

I've plugged it into Vista and the files aren't there. Why? [03:15] bobertdos: he didn't specify his video card, it could be an Intel. although i suppose that the majority of people do have an nVidia or ATI, i find it wrong to promote the idea that you just "have" to use restricted drivers to obtain things, simply because that's not true. [03:15] amenado, I was following an online howto, and that is what it told me was the excecutable [03:15] amenado, where would it be if not there? [03:15] hkittysmoothie-> check the file itself, is it really there? [03:16] amenado, yes, I've opened it from nautilus as well, and it does nothing. The first time I ran it, though, it presented a splash screen, but that's the farthest it ever got.

[03:40] amenado, no, but I noticed that my window list began to make room for a new window, but that window never came. [03:41] sunny-> i do not know how wireshark work, is it before you get to encrypt the packets or after.. [03:41] hkittysmoothie-> i dont know why it never popped up, perhaps its still a problem? remember you are running only a beta === Pinky is now known as CaptainObvious [03:42] amendo, as far as wireshark, it used to show a flood of data on screen, and airodump used to show all kind of nearby AP's but now it not showing... [03:42] amenado, that's strange, because I've checked launchpad and it doesn't seem like anyone else is having the same problem [03:43] sunny-> try to associate without encryption, and see if you get same effects [03:43] Question for anyone about upgrade issue [03:43] hello, i have a 50 GB free space set aside for ubuntu on my mac pro, but i cant seem to install it [03:43] whats the command in terminal to delete a file and one to rename a file ? please [03:43] vlc gives me this error on a DVD i'm trying to watch >> libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.

[03:46] sunnyL when i run wireshark i have to run it as root wireshark / otherwise it wont capture anything reguardless of promis. mode or not [03:46] IndyGunFreak thanks [03:46] sunny-> okay, why dont you try to do no encryption just to prove it is working? then you can switch the encryption on [03:46] amenado, infact, wireshark shows a blank screen when my wireless is put on monitor mode [03:47] sunny: i had to manually add the "root wireshark" from add/remove to be able to have it function and capture all packets [03:47] no one knows.. [03:47] tyli: the normal method for dual booting ubuntu with OS X on a Mac is at http://tinyurl.com/5bs7of [03:48] rww: i did that [03:48] sunnyL it wasnt capturing anything at all , as i though that was odd. i never had a problem with it, so i investigated, run it as root [03:48] sunny-> i believe netfilter is inserted in first before the wireshark access the tcp/ip stack, but, i could be off.. [03:48] rww: i mean, i used that tutorial [03:48] :P [03:48] ManualOverDozer8, it not only wireshark not working, also airodum-ng too [03:48] ManualOverDozer8-> anything that deals with i/o usually requires root priviledges [03:49] holy cow 119 people [03:49] 1191 [03:49] 1191 you mean?

[04:07] is thee a program I can download in order to make applying themes easier? [04:07] there* [04:07] hkittysmoothie: okays. the problem's happening because the do-core PPA repository (which you have on line 57 of your sources.list file) contains a version of gnome-do (the one you're trying to upgrade to) that requires a version of libpango newer than what's available in your repositories. [04:07] terminal i believe [04:07] That's weird. I was sure I had created partitions in the Ubuntu installation. I only have 1 huge partition... [04:07] mentions ash [04:07] rww, okay, how do I fix this? [04:07] brEz: A theme manager like emerald may do the trick. [04:08] oh sweet [04:08] simon14 - then do as ManualOverDozer8 said - startx, if that fails try /etc/init.d/gdm start [04:08] am I allowed to post a link in here?

[04:08] RequinB4 : yes, /etc/init.d/gdm start , i cant ever remember that one [04:08] hkittysmoothie: the possible solutions to this: 1) find a repository that has the version of libpango you need. 2) remove the do-core PPA and revert back to the version of gnome-do in the normal hardy main repository, 3) ignore that message and hope one of your repositories eventually gets the version of libpango you need [04:08] well, easier as in, doesn't stress my brain to its peak capacity :F === tscolin is now known as _tscolin [04:08] hello [04:08] I wish for my desktop to look similiar to: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=86285&file1=86285-1.jpg&file2=86285-2.jpg&file3=86285-3.jpg&name=zni2 [04:08] !hi | zocky [04:08] zocky: Hi!

[04:15] not sure if this is a problem but, my login screen text is so big I can barely see what I'm typing in there :D [04:15] arbir; any partitioning is potentially destructive. [04:16] so I have quite the odd problem: I have three practically identical scripts I run as cron jobs (in the cron.daily folder), and one of them runs. The other ones don't run. In gentoo, error messages for crons were logged somewhere.. can't find it though here [04:16] any thoughts? [04:16] startx didn't work [04:16] bastid_raZor: then tell me, how I can shrink a partition without losing data ? [04:16] ipco-> oh, yah anything to do with bcm43xx is a hairpulling --allnighter :) [04:16] i have samba set up on two ubuntu machines which are on a network with two other windows machines.

[04:17] arbir; make backups. that is the only safe way. in case you do lose something you have a backup. [04:17] bastid_raZor: i am taking backups.. but i just wanted to know, if i can do the same, that I do with partition magic ? [04:17] amenado, thats the thing - it worked perfectly before the upgrade [04:17] question... after every install of a new app i get this "E: hal: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [04:17] any ideas? [04:17] ipco but not because of fwcutter, its has been a big issue to get broadcom to make work. [04:18] bastid_raZor: i see a parted magic live cd, its supposed to help partitioning..... can ubuntu do the same thing that this live cd does ? [04:18] what was the other way of starting X? [04:18] ipco: try linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-20-generic from hardy-proposed (yes, you'll need to dist-upgrade to -20- and use a newer firmware) [04:18] ipco: l-b-m has a much newer wireless-testing.git snapshot [04:18] arbir; i've never used a windows application to resize a partition. gparted on the live cd does anything needed to a partition. [04:18] hi, i am lost, how do i change settings for avant-window-navigator? [04:19] crimson, thanks for the tip - off to add proposed repo and dist upgrade [04:19] i didnt cath that.. i need to do what? [04:19] ipco: you'll find directions for the newer firmware at http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-new [04:19] bastid_raZor: well, it seems then, that i dont really need this parted magic then if Ubuntu live cd can do all my job eh ? :-) [04:19] virtualroadside: edit /etc/syslog.conf (look for the line containing cron) [04:19] hello!

[04:20] arbir; right, the liveCD has it all. be sure to have backups. no matter what program is resizing a partition with data on it.. it is dangerous to do so.

Now I cannot start synaptic or run apt-get, it's telling me to run dpkg --configure -a to "fix" the problem, however that runs that install again and freezes again. I tried manually removing /var/lib/dpkg/lock but that didn't fix anything. What shall I do? [05:09] I use linkinus. [05:09] òóò áëÿ ðóññêèå åñòü?

[05:09] serbianprotv is that copyrighted material ? [05:10] but noww that i got everyone's attention, i'd like to ask a serious question. [05:10] I booted the livecd. [05:10] it is serbian tv [05:10] freqk: lookin it up now [05:10] works [05:10] does anyone know how to install new plugins in compiz (any howto would be great)?

[05:26] hkittysmoothie, does it synchronise with ipods? [05:26] Thanks, Wols_ [05:26] havocstorm, It recognizes iPods and will add and remove music from them, but it will not automatically sync. You must manually drag the songs from your library to the iPod icon. [05:27] hkittysmoothie, I'm using songbird right now but it doesn't intergrate with my messenger client and display the songs [05:27] i am trying to install the avant window navigator extras in hopes of having some more options, https://launchpad.net/awn i downloaded a file awn-extras-applets_0.2.6.orig.tar.gz and have no clue how to install it, anyone use AWN? [05:27] hkittysmoothie, aw, that sucks [05:27] havocstorm, yeah, it almost made me switch to amarok [05:27] wols_: neither "bind mount dev" or "bind mount proc" or "mount bind proc" or "mount bind dev" work [05:27] Is ther a way to sync my Iphone with Ubuntu?

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:28] Okay, I keep crashing, it happens each time I try to open a certain program that did work just yesterday, where can I see the log that shows what is happening (my definition of crash is the splash screen comes up for the software but it never opens, and it laggs out to hte point that the copmuter stops responding) [05:28] havocstorm, I don't believe so. But you can still create iPod playlists and drag songs into them [05:28] i get this error installing Ubuntu idk what it means. "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an 1686 cpu [05:28] what does that mean? [05:28] ui686cpu* [05:28] UI love naim I wish i had found it back in the days of pigin [05:28] slayerr, I think it means that you need to install the 32-bit version of ubuntu instead of the 64-bit [05:28] slayerr: you tried installing a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit machine [05:28] I'm having problems with my iPod, and I'd like to format it or restore it to factory settings... is there a way to do that in linux, without using Windows? [05:28] slayerr: it means that you need the i386 version of ubuntu not the amd64 version [05:28] slayerr: it means you don't have a 64bit cpu and downlaoded the wrong ISO file [05:28] hkittysmoothie, hmm any idea why rhythmbox doesn't have ipod support? songbird has full functionality, so it can't be issues with the apple software [05:29] whats the i386 version [05:29] Hello, synaptic froze during the install of some russian language support package.. so I killed it. Now I cannot start synaptic or run apt-get, it's telling me to run dpkg --configure -a to "fix" the problem, however that runs that install again and freezes again. I tried manually removing /var/lib/dpkg/lock but that didn't fix anything. What shall I do? [05:29] hkittysmoothie, I like songbird, but it feels like some whacked up browser, I prefer rhytmbox [05:29] i cant seem to find it [05:29] havocstorm, I guess it hasn't been a very high priority with the developers. And actually there is a problem with songbird: it doesn't sync album art [05:29] havocstorm, then again, neither does rhythmbox [05:29] moreau: the old gui version of XMMS was discontinued. [05:30] hkittysmoothie, yeah, it removed all my album art on my ipod, but atleast the library synchs, there's no podcast support either [05:30] slayerr: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [05:30] slayerr: and doN#t change any option there [05:30] hkittysmoothie, and I don't like it how websites can set cookie in my music player and extract information from my library [05:30] okay thank u very much [05:30] havocstorm, yeah, I always preferred rhythmbox [05:30] My computer is 64 bits. Should I choose the 64 bit ubuntu over the 32 bit one? [05:30] hkittysmoothie, honestly, who's idea was it to build songbird from the mozilla framework [05:30] hi sometimes one of my windows goes dark and then become un responsive and I have to force quit any ideas? [05:31] hkittysmoothie, sigh, can I send in a report to the guys who write rhythmbox? [05:31] In the Ubuntu Wiki hardware compatability page, no asus motherboards are listed... Are they not supported? [05:31] havocstorm, you can probably file something on their launchpad page [05:31] vwstickman, alt+f2 => xkill [05:31] i removed IPv6 rebooted and found it seemed to make no difference. i edited (commented out) the needed antries added a few, but then returned the file to its original. Did i mess anything up without knowing , even though i returned it to original ? (/etc/modprobe.d/aliases) [05:31] havocstorm, but I think it's been requested before and that it's being planned for a future version [05:31] I keep having to hard boot the computer because it all just stops functioning, is there a place to see the logs so I can find out what is causing the crashes? [05:32] hkittysmoothie, thanks, I hope they hurry up, it's a very good program with a great interface [05:32] havocstorm, np [05:32] Zoffix I can kill the window I just wnat to know why it happens, Tecra m6 laptop, Intel graphics [05:33] legend: do you mean xmms 2, or xmms? [05:33] vwstickman, it was happening to me when I was running that compiz/beryl/whatever. [05:33] I've looked around for my intel centrino wifi on T40 - the only info I find is to use the madwifi drivers - searching on ubuntu forums, I see some long winded process of compiling these in... [05:33] Where can I download the latest libpango library? [05:33] zoffix yeah i am also running it [05:33] vwstickman, I fiddled with my effects setup and it was fine then [05:33] is there a hardy heron way of doing the madwifi drivers?

[05:34] I keep having to hard boot the computer because it all just stops functioning, is there a place to see the logs so I can find out what is causing the crashes? [05:34] how do i show all windows at once, like expose? [05:34] myrtti, nope, does it let rhythmbox synch with the ipod" [05:34] DocYoung: erm, gconf?

[05:39] moreau: http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/wiki/FAQ#Who_is_responsible_for_XMMS2.3F [05:39] vwstickman: easiest would be to get it from packages.ubuntu.com out of the intrepid pool, either that or directly from adobe's site [05:39] Immersion: I've yet to have a motherboard problem in Ubuntu, and I've used it on just about everything, including Asus. [05:39] I have made an executable bash script /home//.bin/insertxyz . I'd like to execute it by pressing the F8 key. How to accomplish this? [05:40] I just download an icon pack, that is a .tar file [05:40] Ok. So you think a p5k-se/epu would work, Carpediem? [05:40] Glitsj16: thanks will try that [05:40] how would I unpack this? [05:40] @immersion I agree with carpedium [05:40] $cp icon.tar/home/brett/.icons? [05:40] Immersion: hmm, I don't know any specifics about that. I just installed it this weekend on my Asus EEE, so I have to think there's an ASUS MB in that.

XMMS2 is a separate project"" [05:44] super+space type 3 letters of application hit return [05:44] i never asked about xmms [05:44] ever [05:44] xmms2 [05:44] elijah__: we get it [05:44] !trash [05:44] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [05:44] where can i get that vnc? [05:45] jbroome_, but nobody knows it exists, maybe you do but not many otehrs do [05:45] is that Uvnc or what? [05:45] moreau: xmms2 uses a client-server model where the server is the thing that plays music, and you have to install serpate gui clients to actually control it [05:45] moreau: xmms2 has no gui. it is command line interface [05:45] zerl: pat-get it :) [05:45] !vnc [05:45] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[05:46] I am having a weird issue with my terminal window all the sudden. I am trying to ssh into another machine and I have tried several. I just get a blank line after I type in the password. [05:46] JPND [05:46] can i install Ubuntu using Parallels? [05:46] is that the same with the Uvnc in windows? [05:46] mark is with us in OSCC MAMPU Malaysia. Life irc at #ubuntu-my [05:46] I have this program called Pstree... anyone know what it is, it just showed up on my menu, never seen or heard about it before? [05:46] zerl: You mean Ultra VNC? Yes, kinda alike i think [05:46] legend2440: Thanks this is a newere version. I shouldn't HAVE to recompile the kernel by default right? [05:47] Can someone tell me why every time I kill firefox, or it crashes, my sound dies with it? [05:47] Blaqligh1: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_pstree.htm [05:47] blaqligh1 If you didn't install it I might be worried. It just lists processes in a tree view I think. [05:48] coz i like the uvnc for win, auto scale... i tried the built in remote desktop of ubuntu but its lack of features === Blaqligh1 is now known as Blaqlight [05:48] how do I create a shorcut to an executable with an icon? [05:48] hello [05:48] hi [05:48] how do I play m4a files on ubuntu? [05:48] Daskreech: you have newer version of DRBD or newer kernel? [05:49] Teddie, do you just want a fast way to launch the program? [05:49] Yeah [05:49] legend2440: neither I have the default kernel in Hardy and the drbd from the repos [05:49] and an icon [05:49] how can i solve this error? failed to access the usb system... it appears if i click the settings in virtualbox [05:49] damn - got Invalid Compressed Format err=2 three times just now... but now it booted into ubuntu fine.... does this mean the HDD is on the way out? [05:49] if i get a private message in irssi then how will i know that a pm has been sent [05:49] ahh ok I didn't install it, but its an interesting view of whats running... [05:49] Teddie, i recommend skipping the shortcut and using a faster method [05:49] Why is ittelling me that there are no drbd kernels? [05:49] Teddie : right click on desktop and choose Launcher, click the icon to the left to change it [05:49] i have to manually check each time if a pm has been sent to me [05:49] error is on bootup [05:49] modules sorry [05:49] any other irc client that is based on ncurses? [05:49] elijah__: how's that? [05:50] Teddie, if you download a program called gnome-do you can launch programs way faster than ever before [05:50] I keep getting a popup in firefox to download the download day pdf. Is this normal and is it safe to download? [05:50] elijah__ : please recomend a better way, so that i may know [05:50] murlidhar: which one are you using?

[05:51] elijah__ : i thought gnome-do was on "hold" ?? [05:51] legend2440: blaaaaa [05:51] ManualOverDozer8, i just downloaded it, it ROCKS! [05:51] elijah__ thank you [05:51] cruddpuppet, I think I had that issue when flash was 'dying' and taking firefox with it [05:51] jgoo: Anything I can do about it? [05:51] cruddpuppet, disable flash, continue to browse for an hour, if the problem doesn't resurface, it is flash [05:51] cruddpuppet, I have the same issue! [05:52] there's a fix [05:52] to solve it, update your flash? I don't know. I personally hate flash, right down to the very core of the file format. [05:52] palomer: Did you solve it? [05:52] jgoo: You mean disable it through firefox's settings panel? [05:52] libflashsupport <--this package did it [05:52] Teddie, let me know when it is installed, and i will show you how to use it [05:52] palomer: What do I do? Just install that? [05:52] yeah [05:53] cruddpuppet, yeah, that should work, just stop the plugin loading [05:53] oh wait, my issue is that flash had no sound [05:53] sorry [05:53] E: Couldn't find package libflashsupport [05:53] Oh. [05:53] try flash 10 beta [05:53] cruddpuppet, yeah try an upgrade to latest - but flash will always suck [05:53] cruddpuppet: apt-cache search libflashsupport [05:53] irc//irc.gimp.net [05:54] anyways, libflashsupport is always a good true [05:54] irc://irc.gimp.net [05:54] elijah__ : yes, gnome-do looks quite interesting, and very easy to look at, espcially when your deskpace is loaded, very nice [05:54] and try killing pulseaudio [05:55] I don't use pulseaudio o.O [05:55] there is no gnome-do [05:55] Hey all, somehow my screen resolution got changed from its default, and I cant change it back to its native state. (laptop on 1200x800 stuck on 1200x768) whats the command to reconfigure the xserver? [05:56] cruddpuppet is there an alternative to using pulseaudio , what might that be ? [05:56] Hey does anyone know how to best download and burn dvd's of movies using ubuntu? lol. [05:56] sacamano - as root, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:56] is there an alternative to compiz? way too much bloat for just the few things i use from it [05:56] RequinB4, Ty. [05:57] how can i solve this error? failed to access the usb system... it appears if i click the settings in virtualbox [05:58] kindofabuzz compiz would sure to kill my low-end vidcard, so i dont even bother. on my other machine, it looks very nice, but that has PCI-Express vid, and 3ghz proc [05:58] kindofabuzz: good question even i need something that can replace compiz-fusion since even i use very little features from it [05:58] Teddie, im back did you install it? [05:58] Hi, i'm unsure how to install moinmoin (wiki) with Ubuntu? I've aptitude install moinmoin, but I can't find setup.py or anything as explained in setup.py Can anyone help? [05:58] s/setup.py/INSTALL.html/ [05:58] kindofabuzz: xfce has minimal composite support, could be to bare bones to count as a real alternative though [05:59] is there such a thing as a proxy server that automatically gives you proxy ips bases on how fast they are, or at the least, at least generating a few proxies that they give for you to use [05:59] * usser heh... import/export eh? [05:59] Daskreech: now according to this you don't have to compile the kernel http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=538002 [05:59] moinmoin via ubottu > Package moinmoin does not exist in hardy [05:59] !proxy [05:59] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. [05:59] xfce has some nice effects though.

[06:01] Teddie, i am not sure [06:01] Teddie no, they come separately [06:02] i can seta proxu configuration url in gconf-editor [06:02] but i dont know what to put [06:03] moreau: use system > preferences > network proxy [06:03] man xbindkeys says: "a grabbing keys program for X". What does it mean here 'to grab'?

To "do things on key combinations" is so general that I cannot imagine what this might be. [06:06] moreau: it's a single string.

[06:09] wols_: are you trying to say, that ubuntu live cd can do all that parted live cd can do ?

[07:27] ManualOverDozer8: I've deleted my xorg.conf and reconfigured X using dpgk [07:27] glitsj16: what msi needs to do is take there pc on that they precompiled the driver for kernel 2.6.22 and above [07:28] oh, well, how are you viewing this now , another computer ?

[08:00] blarg: ahh well, I assumed you were actually aquainted with *nix for the last 7 years [08:00] blarg: my bad [08:00] hey, um, what's a possible reason why all my music players have suddenly stopped recognizing my music files? [08:00] NO - i was homeless for the past 5 , now i have a home lol and a computer [08:00] I've check the files, the permissions, everything. [08:00] blarg : ctrl+alt+f1-f6 [08:01] Miksag1 so anytime you click on a music file, what happens ? [08:01] open with ? [08:01] it shows a red cross next to it [08:01] ManualOverDozer8: only the fake RAID article works. =\ [08:01] if i open in vlc, it plays. [08:01] zvacet: that worked in slackware , or redhat running enlightenment ., but not in ubuntu for some reason [08:01] oh well, back to the googles [08:01] Miksag1 have you recently moved them to another drive /? [08:01] but if i open in say, rhythmbox, or banshee it just dies [08:01] Miksag1 oh that sounds bad [08:01] I though that could be it so i moved them to my home directory. [08:01] Miksag1 i have an idea [08:02] blarg: I think I have some slackware 9.2 disks around here. Or debian potato or something. Either of those are unlikely to boot into a graphical environment. That could be a good start. (just joking) [08:02] I've checked all the paths, everything. [08:02] blarg : it should work in ubuntu too [08:02] Miksag1 what is your favorite player, that plays most all the formats you have ? [08:02] rhythmbox [08:02] enough ManualOverDozer8 [08:02] hello [08:02] do i need xubuntu or ubuntu for install lxde? [08:02] (i am not nadea) [08:02] Its not. [08:02] Miksag1 try uninstalling rthymbox, then reinstalling it, then maybe you get lucky and it re-associate witht hem [08:02] Hey guys, i was downloading the Ubuntu Ultimate edition based on Hardy. Since I already have Hardy installed, would i need to reinstall the system or would an update work as well ??? [08:02] i will look for another way as well [08:03] grrr i want epic and sushi damnzit lol [08:03] blarg: look in /etc/default/console-setup add the vc's,i had to edit it also [08:03] where are totem's 'ugly' codecs can be checked for install and installed? [08:03] * Miksag1 just doesn't understand why things just randomly break in ubuntu. [08:04] is there a manual way to adjust the refresh rates in ubuntu? [08:04] nadea: in repos,ugly is gstreamer [08:04] There is no console-setup file [08:04] perhaps thats why [08:04] nadea: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:04] Miksag1: Bro, i totally agree with you. Even though i believe it to be the best Linux distro, its not really that dependable still.... [08:04] mikearr: there's no such thing as a random break, what did you do? [08:04] lemme dblchk [08:04] rkpisanu i have question> when i changed my windows manager to OpenBox, the system tray programs got all messy, like they are there and when i click on them, they didsappear. i can still go through the normal means of executing them via menu's , can i import my norma windows manager setting to OpenBox ? [08:04] nadea : synaptic>gstreamer and find ugly or sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:05] Daisuke_Ido: I believe there are random breaks.. Sometimes you just need to restart the computer and the same problem disappears... [08:05] Scorp_: I've found that i love it, have done for the past 4 years, but then, randomly things just break; there's no answer given why, the application doesn't crash, but it doesn't do anything you want it to either [08:05] rkpisanu or do i even have to, some sys apps are effected, while others are not [08:05] ManualOverDozer8, i dont know OpenBox [08:05] and i beg to differ on its stability - my laptop's been running for 42 days now, and with daily use hasn't had any issues [08:05] rkpisanu very well then, thank you [08:05] blarg: i have /etc/default/console-setup [08:06] Are the APT servers running? [08:06] Test [08:06] and while i understand that uptime on a home machine is a luxury, whereas it's a necessity on a server, that's still pretty darn good in my opinion [08:06] do i need xubuntu or ubuntu for install lxde? [08:06] Daisuke_Ido: I've been using Ubuntu since a year and a half, earlier on a desktop and hardy since i bought a laptop... Approx 2 months now.. There do occur stability issues now and then [08:06] Kulo nuwun.. Pak de [08:06] Scorp_: occasionally, but it's still a whole lot more stable than that other OS [08:06] can anyone give me a link for the basics of packages?

[08:11] Miksag1 so you are streaming audio ? do you use Firefox for that by chance ? [08:11] Miksag1 i mean initially [08:11] I'm not streaming at all. [08:12] could be a pulseaudio issue [08:12] i say that because pulseaudio is evil. [08:12] :) [08:12] These are burnt of cd's, originally copied across from my older partition [08:12] and even cd's burnt under ubuntu [08:12] Miksag1 are they on the local computer ? [08:12] and, yes, i run pulseaudio *paranoid* [08:12] Daisuke_Ido: Yeah, it surely is which is so all of us stick to Ubuntu. I think the best thing is the community and forum support... All guys who help out, Hats off to them.. [08:12] loo7: lxde probably doesn't have a wireless manager because no one's written one. [08:12] yes, they're on the local computer; In my home folder. [08:13] No one's got any clue why my repositories are borked, then? [08:13] Miksag1 cant think of anything but to try and re-associate them by any means, if that is the case, rather than a codec issue [08:13] guess no one has figured out the 50 hz nvidia refresh rate misread bug yet [08:13] okay, wait. wtf? i changed the sink in pulseaudio, now they're playing. [08:13] lopin : cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste it here [08:14] sd132 EnvyNG for Hardy works fine [08:14] wtf? [08:14] Miksag1: told you, pulseaudio sucks. [08:14] wtf? [08:14] Daisuke_Ido, agreed [08:14] Rat409, thanks i will try that method instead [08:14] Miksag1 thing about when you choose Open With is it remembers the last player used. i thought i seen that a few times === CeeeeeeE_wk is now known as mita [08:15] loo7: you could grab it from the lxde site, but it is still in development (which is why it's not included, i'm guessing) [08:15] Daisuke_Ido what do you use ? [08:15] yeah, i already have my music library loaded into rhythmbox, for some reason pulseaudio randomly changed it's sink and server to "other" [08:15] loo7: you can use other panels with lxde,fbpanel,perlpanel,gnome-panel,xfce4-panel etc [08:15] sd132: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=454217 [08:15] Miksag1 well, atleast it is fixed now, thats a good thing [08:16] ManualOverDozer8: xfce [08:16] Rat409, how do i use gnome-panel with lxde? [08:16] hmm gnome-do seems ok. it doesn't seem to do much though, guess I should read its man/config files... [08:16] what's another audio server — that works. [08:16] Daisuke_Ido what advantages does xfce have over pulseaudio ? i havent tried xfce [08:16] i have had installed one of "ugly" first, with few stars(popularity) in totem [08:16] i wasn't having a problem with lxde install, just that there was no wireless configuration utility [08:17] xfce's a desktop environment, it uses alsa afaik [08:17] then i installed second (multiverse) in synaptic === VulpineWill is now known as CoolFox === CeeeeeeE_wk is now known as Cewek-kkkkkkkkk [08:17] hmm, is alsa very good? [08:17] should i select it in totem to try? [08:17] interresting, i will have to check it out [08:17] how to select? [08:17] <[TiZ]> I decided to give KDE a shot. Trying to install it didn't work, it messed a few things up. So I uninstalled it. And it messed even more things up. So I'll do a clean install on another partition. But that is not important right now. What is is that I've managed to break Quod Libet. Now it won't load, giving an error saying: "ImportError: No module named formats.mp3". How do I fix this? [08:17] i just dont like metacities minimize animation, and xfce is okay but i prefer lxde [08:17] * Miksag1 doesn't go near KDE with a ten foot stick === christian_ is now known as [sahne]chris [08:17] loo7: why not change it? [08:18] loo7: that is, if your running compiz [08:18] <[TiZ]> Yeah, yeah, whatever, religious GNOME and all that. I don't care right now. I want to find a way to fix Quod Libet, which, by the way, is GTK. [08:18] i use OpenBox, fast clean with no eyecandy, the way i like it [08:18] hmm, what's wrong with Quod Libet? [08:18] Miksag1, no i mean metacities black box thing [08:18] <[TiZ]> When I try to start it, I get "ImportError: No module named formats.mp3" [08:18] loo7: okay, lost me there. [08:19] how can i install my printer driver?? [08:19] ~.config/openbox/rc.xml or the autostart file [08:19] [TiZ]: If installing something messed stuff up, and removing that messed more up, you have other issues which probably should be addressed (and then the quod libet stuff might figure itself out) [08:19] Tiz: i assume you've tried reinstalling, checking for dependencies [08:19] Miksag1, when you have compiz disabled, and you minimize you see a bunch of black boxes for an animation [08:19] loo7 : i believe i know just of what you are speaking, that minimize animated box-border. it drove me nuts [08:19] loo7: oh, yeah, i remember from the first time i used ubuntu [08:20] what does is mean if the directory .ssh contain a file name known_host (and ssh-rsa key) with some unknown domain in it? [08:20] ManualOverDozer8, yes! thats it [08:20] loo7: although, why not compiz? [08:20] can anyone tell me how to install my printer driver? [08:20] <[TiZ]> I had SVN quodlibet before, which had a few problems of its own. So I removed that and installed it from the repository, which should have fixed any dependency problems. [08:20] i like gnome, but can't stand metacities thing [08:20] loo7 : i know and it was terrible and cheesey [08:20] gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse [08:20] why two? [08:20] how to select? [08:20] uninstall one? [08:20] is it possible to use lxde instead of metacity? [08:20] LinuxIST: that's probably in your home directory and todo with the ssh command in the terminal. [08:21] not to replace gnome completly [08:21] help please :( [08:21] LinuxIST: ssh, if you don't know what it is, is used for secure connections to other computers. [08:21] loo7 : i tried to explain it to someone ,and i got the same exact response. lol. i since have changed to OpenBox and no more black-box-thing-animation-cheesey minimize. [08:21] nadea : install both of them [08:21] Miksag1, i did a whois on the domain, it was just registered a few months back [08:21] <[TiZ]> Flannel: I'm relatively new with Linux. If there's some deep-rooted problem with my install, there's no way I'll be able to figure it out at this time. === CeeeeeeE_wk is now known as cewek-kkkkk [08:21] loo7: lxde is just apps put together in a custom config,openbox is lxde's wm and yes [08:21] loo7 : its the window manager that is doing it [08:21] Miksag1, i know what ssh [08:21] is [08:22] <[TiZ]> Miksag1, is there anything special you mean by "checking for dependencies?" [08:22] LinuxIST: well, generally the folder ~/.ssh is todo with the command in the terminal. [08:22] blogi, see http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/printing_ubuntu [08:22] nadea: -ugly will do the trick [08:22] Rat409, oh i get it now [08:22] i have been hacked recently [08:22] ? [08:22] Rat409: sorry, but these do not help much. I appreciate the direction, though. [08:22] question: how do you log into a linux box from a windows one? terminal and if possible, X [08:22] -ugly =? === VulpineWill is now known as CoolFox [08:22] Rat409, is it simple to replace openbox wm with metacity? [08:22] [03:20] gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse [08:23] [TiZ]: not sure; like i said, i use rhythmbox; i didn't really like Quod Libet, as it didn't have feed support for podcasts [08:23] !pastebin [08:23] heru [08:23] 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) [08:23] hmm replacing metacity is easy i've never tried using metacity as a standalone [08:24] <[TiZ]> I need Quod Libet 'cos of how I organize my music. And 'cos no linux player understands the "Album Artist" tag. [08:24] is there a guide somewhere i could use? [08:24] <[TiZ]> At least that I know of [08:24] tnx [08:24] loo7 : you install the windows manager, then , in the login screen, you see options, down in the corner, just select Session and choose the one that you like [08:24] [TiZ], try kaffeine [08:24] loo7 : easy yes [08:25] okay, im gonna go install [08:25] thanks everyon [08:25] *everyone [08:25] loo7 real easy [08:25] :D [08:25] why they shown with votes in totem's dialog? how to vote them and how compare? vote in add/remove? [08:25] how to start two sessions at the same time? gnome and xfce [08:26] [TiZ]: hmm, i guess check their website, see if it says you need anything for it to run properly [08:26] lunch2 : is that even possible ? [08:26] ManualOverDozer8, think so, map alt-f7-control for gnome and f8 for xfc [08:26] <[TiZ]> rkpisanu: No, I'm a GNOME user right now. I don't think kaffeine is even music-centric, is it? [08:26] lunch2 : I don´t think you can do it but I can be wrong [08:26] <[TiZ]> Miksag1, I'll do that. [08:26] lunch : now that you say that, i see 2 OpenBox's , one GnomeOpenBox and another just OpenBox [08:26] * Miksag1 has to go. [08:26] by the wiki reads, envyNG isn't ready for prime time [08:26] Lokifox: you probably want to install sshd on your linux box, then try something like ... well I can't remmeber the name. But.. putty, that's it. Or something like that. I'm not sure if putty has X support or not, though. [08:27] how do i delete menus [08:27] in gnome [08:27] the Main Menu app doesnt have a delete :/ [08:27] Chihork: what would i type in putty? im still a newbie =) [08:27] sd132 EnvyNg works fine for the users that have dowloaded it and installed it. if you havent done neither, i dont believe you can even say for sure, as you have yet to even see it [08:27] under prefrences [08:28] trolling isnt welcome here [08:28] can someone help with this script? i'm trying to open all pdfs i find, but when it opens first pdf in xpdf, it waits until i close xpdf before opening the next one: find ~/ -name '*pdf' | xargs -l1 xpdf [08:28] :) lokifox: I'm not sure. I thought putty gave you a graphical interface to work with. You probably only need to know the ip address of your linux box. Perhaps your username and / or password [08:28] o wait [08:28] it does [08:28] lol nevermind [08:29] zaapiel : uncheck all under some menu and you will not see it in apps [08:29] jezez you want them all to open in "new" windows ? [08:29] jezez, you must writr a little shell that it run in background xpdf [08:29] ManualOverDozer8: yeah [08:30] rkpisanu: what do u mean [08:30] rkpisanu may have the information for you [08:30] !offtopic [08:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:30] xpdf $1 & [08:31] Chihork: cool, thanks ^_^ curiously, how is it done from one linux box to another? [08:31] Lokifox: traditionally, with ssh. [08:32] I believe putty is just the windows equivalent, but I'd be prone to being proved wrong [08:32] or, traditionally, telnet perhaps] [08:32] but ssh is the answer you're looking for, I'm sure [08:33] Chihork: ah, ok. thanks for the help and patience ^_^ [08:33] no trouble; hoping it's some kind of help. [08:33] I need to crack the password on my ps2, I changed it but forgot it. [08:34] putty is your best bet for a windows telnet/ssh client [08:34] Gputty is a bit easier maybe [08:34] buy new ps2 :) [08:34] blagligh1: throw it in the fire. You're doomed. [08:34] just kidding. I know nothing. [08:34] trade it in for a new HDD for your linuxbox [08:35] rkpisanu: lol no, its my only dvd player, Im poor :( [08:35] Rat409: gputty is a poor solution for a windows ssh/telnet client (as it's gnome based) [08:35] ohh yuh [08:37] securecrt is a good ssh/telnet client for win [08:37] Blaqligh1: i know i saw somewhere online about resetting the password, i just dont recall. if you bear with me i can find it [08:37] yuh [08:38] select, enter 7444 [08:38] Lokifox : all the mom's and dad's be upset with you for that ;) [08:38] Lokifox: yeah I got it, just the the page finally loaded ;) [08:38] yeah, i gotta learn to keep my mouth shut =P [08:38] so does anybody know why I can't access my external drive as a sambe mount? Do I have my permissions set improperly at mount time? Or do I need to do something special with /etc/smb.conf? Or osmething completely different? [08:39] ok if the kid is half smart he;d know how to use the internet these days anyway so moms and dads wouldn't have a chance :D [08:39] Chihork : usb/firewire ? [08:40] manualOverDozer8: usb [08:40] Blaqligh1: u do know how to use the interbet ;) [08:40] Chihork : could it possibly be a isb issue rather than a smb issue ? [08:40] usb* [08:41] murlidhar: very well thank you very much. [08:41] why when i browse 127.0.0.1 the page says "It works" and when i browse with my ip the page says can't establish a connection to the server at my ip ? [08:41] CHihork : reason why i say : i see a good amount of users speak of USB issues [08:41] ManualOverDozer8: not a chance. I can ssh into the machine where the external drive is connected via usb, and browse fine. [08:41] just found out there is a way to turn off that black box animation when minimizing [08:41] CHihork : just a though === christian__ is now known as GeminiDragon [08:42] legend2440 : and that is how ? [08:42] gfconf-editor ? [08:42] hello [08:42] ManualOverDozer8: that's fair. === freqk is now known as freqk|away [08:42] !AskTheBot [08:42] 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. [08:42] CHihork : i dont do either, but i thought maybe i give an idea in there [08:43] ManualOverDozer8: its a two step process posts #3 and 4 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192521 [08:43] i will look [08:43] I have a question... why did everyone adopt Ubuntu when it's really just a prettied up Debian? [08:43] ManualOverDozer8: it worked for me [08:44] just curious [08:44] GeminiDragon: they are smarter than the average billy bob? [08:44] Chihork: are both linux boxes? [08:44] daiske_Ido: they are. [08:44] Chihork: have you considered using NFS rather than Samba? [08:45] legend2440 very nice, now that i see that, i did the same thing, or somethign very similiar, so then maybe just changing the windows manager didnt do it, in that case. hmm nice find [08:45] smarter? so what governs smarts in the Linux box world? I thinks its more a case of forking code yet again, splitting man-power to water down the changes that can be made and have yet another distro out there to confuse newbs... [08:45] GeminiDragon: These are better questions for #ubuntu-offtopic [08:46] Daisuke_Ido: I have. I questioned whether NFS would work given the certain router I'm using. I actually tried sharing over NFS, and it didn't seem to appear (in nautilus. I'm not sure how to browse network shares in any other way, actually) [08:46] better go wash behind my ears I guess [08:46] Daisuke_Ido: if I could figure how to share with NFS, that would be fine [08:46] GeminiDragon: because there's more of a difference, especially in the community and support area - ubuntu has a support base that's new-user friendly. ask half the questions in there that you get in here and be prepaerd for the barrage of RTFM NOOB [08:46] haha..installed envyNG ran it..nothing changed..lol [08:47] legend2440 i just happen to come across it in gfconf-editor , just by chance i see it, i dont like anything even close to animation in a workspace, so i disabled it [08:47] THAT is why ubuntu is more than a pretty debian [08:47] I quite like newbs actually... they make you dredge up unused thoughts [08:47] Daisuke_Ido, GeminiDragon: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:47] ManualOverDozer8: yes that black box thing is really annoying [08:47] sd132 : if you looked, you would see you can change your monitor type and refresh rates. its too bad you cant find such an easy thing [08:48] legend2440 yes very much so. [08:48] how is it off-topic? I'm asking why (as a newb) I should want to use Ubuntu instead of the original distribution [08:48] GeminiDragon: this channel is for support only, "meta" questions go to -offtopic [08:48] legend2440 really i dont even see why it is benificial to anyone. maybe someday they will remove it from future Distros [08:49] hello [08:49] anyone using digikam 0.10.0-beta2? [08:49] ManualOverDozer8: in the screen resolution choice or in envy? [08:49] I'd actually like to know that too. I should be able to share my removable media drive over my network easily; or... get help for it. [08:49] I do want support though [08:50] hello [08:50] can anyone help me, i cant get a dhcp offer using wireless. ethernet works fine but no wireless? [08:50] GeminiDragon: you're more than welcome to be in more than one channel [08:50] sd132 in nvidia-settings, in which should work properly now that you installed Envy and chose nViida to be your x-manager [08:50] ManualOverDozer8: i read in some other post that the reason for it is to give you a visual clue as to where in the panel the window is minimizing to [08:50] yes, I've been into IRC land once or twice, thanks for looking after me [08:51] ManualOverDozer8:how do i do that? [08:51] I'm no stranger [08:51] legend2440 : well it good that you fixed it and found the solution [08:51] sd132 change monitor [08:51] Raz0r: what are your settings [08:51] so anyway, my question is, does anyone have any experience in integrating LDAP as a login and user management system within Linux as a replacement for Active Directory? [08:52] sd132 by default its prob some generic model that only supports 60hz max, Plug adnd Pray as it has been dubbed [08:52] anyone know how to change the usplash? i've got an itching to play with GIMP [08:52] I want to do away with AD completely in our work environment and would appreciate a pointer in the right direction as to finding a place on where I can view configurations etc... It needs to have all of the same features as AD does [08:52] and more (which is why I want it) [08:53] Lokifox, look at a package called splashy [08:53] interesting [08:53] vwstickman well im running wpa, essid is broadcast, im using the belkin f5d7000uk card (rtl8185l chipset) === GeminiDragon is now known as Neogi [08:53] nifty, thanks [08:53] vwstickman anything else?

[08:55] sd132 L if savy with conf files, you can manually edit xorg.conf just the same [08:56] Lokifox, yes [08:56] Neogi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication does that cover it?

[08:59] dread, then you did indeed not forward it properly and apache2 itself is configured fine [08:59] hmm [09:00] Neogi, what? [09:00] so its something about etc/hosts ? [09:00] Hello I have just installed ubuntu and installed gparted. When i open gparted i am unable to resize my partitions. i'm using ext3. [09:00] /etc/hosts* [09:00] dread, do the following, from a unix machine outside (if availible to you) try to reach it, or ask one of uis [09:00] Shish_: talk to the MOTU, 1.0.1 is a bugfix release, you should be able to get that fix put into the Hardy version.

[09:01] phishers: you cannot resize an active partition [09:01] i have no other machines [09:01] eh [09:01] phishers: mounted i mean [09:01] dread, not every router lets you access yourself using your outside ip, keep that in mind [09:01] what about using qparted or something akin to that? [09:01] Neogi: There's 1200 people in this channel, we have rules so it remains functional. Please follow them. [09:01] Shish_: Masters of the Universe, #ubuntu-motu [09:01] okay so now whats the next step [09:01] Flannel: lol, thanks a lot, appreciate it [09:01] hai [09:01] cause i got confused [09:02] dread, ask someone of us to try to access it [09:02] po cok [09:02] may you ?

[09:02] dread, well if you tell me the ip [09:02] toha toha toha ninik [09:02] 213.149.191.202 [09:02] I know (and I guarantee that 90% of them are AFK)... anyway, enough said [09:02] lol;p [09:02] !id | co-PiloT [09:02] malz t quit [09:02] I'm having an issue on my Hp laptop. I accidentally left the machine on while unplugged. Now when I boot the machine it boots in a terminal interface and not gdm. I have to then log in as root and start gdm to get into a normal desktop environment. What can I do to fix this? [09:02] dread, getting refused, that means you did not forward properly [09:03] co-PiloT: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [09:03] so now.. [09:03] dread, have a look at "port forwarding" on google, we can not help you with that [09:03] erik_ startx [09:03] any kino users here ? I can control my camera with kino but its not showing any video or recording [09:03] port ok but when i start apache2 it says [09:03] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 [09:03] no listening sockets available, shutting down [09:03] Unable to open logs [09:04] dread: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:04] erik, do you have a file called default-display-manager in your /etc/X11 folder? [09:04] I'm in gdm now. the issue is only when I bood manualoverdozer [09:04] erik_ : there is another command but i forget it, if someone knows other than StartX [09:04] that file should have /usr/sbin/gdm in it (if you're using GDM, anyway) [09:04] Neogi I'm not sure I don't really know a whole lot about linux but I'm learning [09:05] ok, go to a command prompt [09:05] whats the command other than start x to start x ? ironic [09:05] type "less /etc/X11/default-display-manager" to see what it says in it [09:05] dgm or something [09:05] un canale [09:05] italiano?

[09:06] neogi I ran through the file manager and found the file [09:06] ok, what does it say in it? [09:06] it's says kdm though [09:06] ok, there's the problem then [09:06] which is odd because I thought I had uninsalled kdm after testing it out [09:06] change it to /usr/sbin/gdm and reboot your machine [09:06] ningsih [09:07] yeah, even if you changed it, it might not have changed the configs back to the originals [09:07] #batang [09:07] the reason it does that is that if you've created custom configs, it would be a lot of a pain to have them overwrite every time you upgraded anything, wouldn't it? [09:08] ciao [09:08] anyway, change that file and reboot and it should be all good [09:08] ok check this out. this is what it has as of right now /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kdm [09:08] yo!

[09:10] you can use putty [09:10] well here goes thx for the help neogi [09:10] for x you need cygwin [09:11] hello, how to install ipw2100 on laptop ? [09:12] which laptop? [09:12] redrebel, I'd just use desktop and strip it of anything you don't want... also download the kernel-headers and recompile it for your CPU and strip all of the stuff out of it that you don't want... then you'll have a beast of a system [09:12] hp compaq nx5000 [09:13] scusate potete indicarmi il canale itaiano'??

[09:15] Now to repartition my drive in case of necessary reinstall. [09:15] Neogi you mentioned of recompiling kernel-headers for cpu. this is onyl install of linux on this machine, should i think of doing that ? or can i just update them ? [09:16] You know I never thought of using a separate partition for my home folder till I read about it 2 days ago. [09:16] hey [09:16] yeah, or even look at something like Gentoo or another source based distro like Slackware... Slackware was always my fave [09:16] Anyone here is a programmer? [09:16] i'm a programmer [09:16] ManualOverDozer8: there's no reason to recompile a kernel [09:16] yeah, I program in about 10 different languages [09:16] ManualOverDozer8: or at least, not for speed reasons. [09:16] ok [09:17] redrebel_ what kind of language should beginners to coding learn? [09:17] c [09:17] yeah, separate partitions is always a good idea, especially for home directories... having that on a completely separate disk is even better [09:17] redrebel_, I have a basic education program on my ubuntu, is a better language to learn programming with [09:17] i dont know if its my input devices or what, but when i type i get an occasional stutter. like its buffering up. i get alot of typos like that [09:17] Learn C++, not C [09:18] havocstorm: Check out something like python. http://diveintopython.org/ or http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html [09:18] For a beginner? [09:18] I hear that's really hard [09:18] better off learning C with it's superset so you can do OOP programming [09:18] Morning [09:18] you can do OOP in c [09:18] hello all [09:18] OOP Programming? [09:18] Neogi : i do OOP .Net [09:18] i have a question === freqk is now known as freqk|away [09:18] nah, C++ is just a superset of C... teaches you the modern approaches instead of procedural [09:18] .net is from microsoft or o.0? [09:18] Object Orientated [09:18] does python work on windows? [09:18] Alright, now that its become a discussion, take the programming language discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please. [09:18] and, no C isn't very good for OOP at all [09:19] havocstorm: Yes, see "active python" [09:19] flannel, thanks [09:19] Neogi you can have c in projects, but yes, not good for OOP [09:19] is there any facility to call(voice) gtalk account in linux(hardy) [09:19] ? [09:20] the_unknown: Jingle is the audio protocol used. A number of clients support it, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_(protocol) [09:20] freeswitch is one (possibly ott) solution :) [09:20] OOP has nothing to do with whether it can be a project though [09:21] look up the three rules to OOP and C doesn't strictly conform to it [09:21] anyway, all I can say on the subject :) [09:22] someone host an australian link for freenode! :) [09:22] hi [09:22] <|{0oL> hello [09:23] hows it goin [09:23] bandwidth is too expensive in Australia for hosting channels dude [09:23] cplx: asimov.freenode.net [09:23] (I'm in Australia) [09:23] <|{0oL> first day using linux =) [09:23] really?

[09:29] Its a little slow. [09:29] Flannel: not hosted in AU.. thats just a round robbin DNS [09:29] it is [09:29] and ugly [09:29] no alternative? [09:29] cplx: Then there are none. http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml [09:29] but I prefer it over pidgin since it has webcam support =) [09:29] ok, try installing these, jack-tools, jackd, qjackctl [09:29] Flannel: wouldn't of said that in the channel if i new there was an AU IRC link... [09:29] mm [09:29] I installed firefox32 inside of ubuntu 8.04 amd64, flash/java/mplayer32 everything is working 100%. The only thing that seems to be wrong is that now firefox32 is rendering everything non-antialiased (font wise), however, every other gtk2 application is anti-aliased. There doesn't seem to be a ia32-libs-gtk package as ia32-libs replaces it, and conflicts with it. Has anyone come across this problem? I have searched the forums and found only 1 post re [09:29] Though pidgin is by far the best [09:29] <|{0oL> well i just got on to test this irc program out....way different from Mirc but same thing..you guys take care see u soon on my on going journey into the worl of Linux hehe [09:30] Flannel: thats what im saying, there are none - hence why I said that...... [09:30] zzz [09:30] c03 [09:30] I need some help [09:30] i found a pidgin patc [09:30] the Plus Patch [09:30] http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4598 [09:30] marcello: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:31] marcello, check out emesene [09:31] i plug in my free agent drive (seagate) and my computer recognizes it. under "computer" an icon pops up. if i try to open it, it says that b/c the drive uses NTFS, that have to "force" mount it. the name of the drive is as follows: FreeAgent Drive. [09:31] so, i went to a terminal and typed in the following code: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/FreeAgent Drive -o force [09:31] then, i went back to "computer" and tried to open the drive, then it said " (mntent): line 11 in /etc/fstab is bad [09:31] mount: can't find /media/FreeAgent in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" [09:31] junglecrazd1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:31] * Neogi falls over dead [09:32] so, now, I don't know what to do. it was working yesterday! [09:32] marcello you could also try kopete runs pretty quick on my machine supports msn and webcams [09:32] junglecrazd1: youre still here...o.0? [09:32] yes! [09:32] kopete is nice [09:33] there used to be one called AMSN as well, not sure if it's still around though [09:33] junglecrazd1: dont tell me you got the same problem again? [09:33] my only problem with kopete is it doesn't skin inside my Gnome [09:33] yeah, i had to leave earlier. sorry, i never resolved it. [09:33] junglecrazd1, you need to create the /media/FreeAgent folder before you can mount stuff to it [09:33] Pidgin used to be Gaim from memory I think? [09:33] so when I use it it's colors are all out of whack with the rest of my theme [09:33] beats me why they change the names of programs that have been around for years... [09:34] Neogi, right [09:34] Neogi, they were about to be sued by AOL [09:34] Well, that's a good reason [09:34] Neogi: makes it look kl i guess makes the program sound original and actually new on release [09:34] ahh, that explains it then [09:34] Mangnetron, can you tell me how? [09:35] junglecrazd1: sudo mkdir /etc/media/"name of folder dor mounting" [09:35] Can anyone help me with my microphone?

[09:36] no, he had us babies to take care of, has to make sure we stay on topic [09:36] erik_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter is probably what you want [09:36] "Stay on target, stay on target!" [09:37] Baby_shambls: mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/media/FreeAgent': No such file or directory [09:37] mkdir: cannot create directory `Drive': File exists [09:37] gotta create /etc/media first before you can create a sub-directory of it :) [09:37] Neogi, me and some ubuntu friends hang out in #ubuntu-offtopic, feel free to join [09:38] junglecrazd1: are you using ubuntu? === vincent is now known as Guest1292 [09:38] Neogi: if his using ubuntu /etc/media should be there [09:38] yes, 8.04 [09:38] and the system recognizes the drive. [09:38] Hey would it be possible to have Ubuntu 8.04 installed to a 8 or 16 GB flash with compiz-fusion configured a certain way that supports virtually any PC to which it would be connected? [09:38] just won't mount it. [09:39] junglecrazd1: youre telling me that command didnt work, are you even admin on that box, were you the one that installed the system [09:39] Is it possible to disable a certain update in the update manager? [09:39] babyshambl: of course i admin [09:39] mine doesn't have it === RandomCake_ is now known as RandomCake [09:39] kode: Which updates are you trying to disable? [09:39] Baby_Shambl3s, junglecrazd1: don't use /etc/media/FreeAgent , use /media/freeagent [09:39] Well guys I'm out of here thanks for all of the help. [09:39] mine has /etc/menu-methods and no others :) [09:39] cheers, erik_ [09:40] I could have a weird Ubuntu though [09:40] magnetron: ahhhh so it was my fault dang [09:40] Flannel, I'm trying to disable some big updates in size [09:40] would it be possible to support that many different type of hardware on USB Flash? [09:41] and ensure that the 3d would work on most Nvidia/Ati/Intel video cards? [09:41] kode: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Introduction%20to%20Holding%20Packages [09:41] kode: You can do it easily through synaptic, or manually. [09:41] how to install .bin?

They want to be able to talk in Hebrew on msn, but amsn doesn't offer Hebrew. How can I add it or what other msn client do I need? [09:42] ./xxxxxx.bin [09:42] rkpisanu then?

[09:43] sorry [09:44] i wanna install packages manually how i know about the pakcages already installed in comp. [09:44] Smegzo1: is there such thing as msn in ubuntu, i think you mean pidgin or amsn [09:44] dhananjay: What are you trying to install? [09:44] Smegzo1: dont know about amsn but it should be there in synaptics or in option the same goes for pidgin [09:45] I know what I mean. I'll try synaptic. Thanks [09:45] i hno yaar im talkin about dependencies ive no net conn [09:45] dhananjay: sneakernet works fine. But you still haven't told us what you're installing [09:45] wine [09:46] sneker net whats that? [09:46] anyone got cedega running on their machina? [09:46] dhananjay: Where you download the files on a computer that is connected, put them on removalable media (CD, floppy, USB) and walk to the other computer to transfer them [09:47] magnetron: i chose the other way b/c my system automatically recognizes the drive. i tried to create the freeagent versus FreeAgent Drive, but i can't coz the FreeAgent Drive automatically is recognized by linux. just, won't mount [09:47] i did but dependencies [09:47] lag 2.7s, too bad or too good [09:47] they are nt ending [09:48] !offine | dhananjay [09:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about offine [09:48] !offline | dhananjay [09:48] dhananjay: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.byethost14.com/ [09:48] dhananjay: Check out that webpage to help satisfy depends [09:49] junglecrazd1, you need to cut the channel in on your situation. you haven't explained this "automatically recognized" stuff to the channel [09:49] Hey would it be possible to have Ubuntu 8.04 installed to a 8 or 16 GB flash so that it will work on virtually any PC to which it would be connected? [09:49] junglecrazd1: just to get this straight all youre trying to do is install a hard disk right? if so have you tried the tuts in ubuntu forums before coming here, they ahve images and other user comments came in handy for me when i started [09:49] my numpad wont work right, + works like right click from mouse [09:49] baby_shambl, correct [09:50] hi [09:50] can someone say me how can i become this screen saver in the background ??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBiYN4NMPdE [09:50] hi [09:50] i did read them. my issue is quite different, as I have been using ubuntu for 4 weeks and my drive was fine. now all of a sudden, i can't access it? [09:50] is somebody know about edge network config, especially sony gc85 [09:51] well, shit happens [09:51] I guess all that would have to be done is create a Live Flash Drive and then set configuration [09:51] lag +15s [09:51] sudobash, there's an isotousb script somewhere.. all ou need to do is use that to convert the live CD to a live USB install [09:52] er, em, am i online [09:52] well, you seem to be [09:53] junglecrazd1: but from what youre doing it looks like your mounting a whole new drive, it couldve been that soemthing changed and the UID wasnt being recognised so you had to check those which shows you didnt even bother searching there... that place is the best place to start [09:53] that url byethehost isnt working === freqk|away is now known as freqk [09:54] Masteredu1: that looks like his using fluxbox windows manaager jus install it and set it up [09:54] Would I need any swap if I got 2gb of ram and don't really do any heavy photo/video editing?

[09:56] but I really should have some? just in case. [09:56] ay^: you should still have one just incase but like flannel said you wouldnt need it most of the times but is better to make one than be sorry afterwards [09:56] ay^: It can't hurt. Only thing that will "hurt" is your harddrive space. [09:57] junglecrazd1, :/ so you couldve just doens fsck on the disk to sort it out, next time explain your problem properly and how it happened [09:57] ay^: You really shouldn't need more than 1 G or so.

It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough.

[10:24] vox: latest... just found the reports on it in google too [10:24] nod [10:25] why: it's the Common Unix Printing Service, which is used for printing things [10:25] my printer IP1880 can't printing.... i use ubuntu 8.04 [10:25] oh God... one of these [10:25] is anybody here using utorrent under wine? [10:26] Why would yo? [10:26] youØ [10:26] ... [10:26] you* === MenZa_ is now known as MenZa [10:26] Hello [10:26] \o/ [10:26] vox: just found that checkbox [10:27] vox: now working. Very interesting, considering the -install- kernel works. [10:27] starnestommy : thanks [10:27] does nx restrict what i can do ? [10:27] is the memtest86 supposed to work in virtualbox? because I get LOTS of failures :) [10:28] kane77: I imagine it'd be something rather bizzare [10:29] kane77: esp since its probably talking via the I2C bus in some places [10:29] how can i do for than process lunch by imagemagick ( convert command launch by coppermine) must be fixed to 2 process in the same time , to the place of 6 process in same time [10:29] nice command is not possible [10:29] Hum, my ubuntu starting time is about 1 minutes, how can i reduce it ? (i'm french so excuse me for my langage) [10:29] because i managed by coppermine [10:29] ok how can i SU from gnome ? [10:29] freaky_: install bootchart, take a look at what it says your bottlenecks are [10:30] holic: su, care to elaborate? [10:31] •Baby_Shambl3s• i am very confused as to why something as simple as cut and paste in file browser in gnome would be disabled , unless i go to a terminal windows and SU or SUDO [10:31] i would have thought moving files about would have been a basic requirement of the desktop === yacc__ is now known as yacc [10:32] holic: sudo doesnt cut & paste highlight the word and right click on it otherwise use left mouse click also works, there is always ctrl+v/c/x [10:33] holic: it is it is just explain what youre having problems with in detail [10:33] •Baby_Shambl3s• ok i am using NX to connect to my desktop [10:33] can i install delphi 2007 in wine? [10:33] i am clicking on file browser which takes me to my folder in home [10:33] there is a file in there called file1.txt [10:34] i want to move it [10:34] so i right click it [10:34] and menu pops up [10:34] but cut is greyed out [10:34] How can I force Ubuntu to regenerate xorg.conf after I've manually edit? [10:34] it works fine if i go to a terminal window and SU first [10:34] i really have to be a superuser to move a file ? [10:34] holic: im guessing NX is like a virtual machine similar to Vbox, yes or no and you trying to drag soemthing from it to your actual physical machine [10:35] nx is like vbox yes [10:35] well more like remote desktop for windows [10:35] holic, it doesnt work that way you must do a netwrork connection through both the host and the machine [10:35] holic: permissions are a wonderful thing. alt-f2, type in "gksu nautilus" and you'll get a root nautilus window. Close that window *as* *soon* *as* you're finished, and be extremely careful. [10:35] and i am trying to just move a file on the box itself not move it to my local machine [10:35] holic: which box? [10:36] holic, like in ubuntu i use vbox to run windows but to transfer stuff between each other windows conencts as a network or vpn depending on how you decide [10:36] •Baby_Shambl3s• then nx is not like vbox, nx is a remote desktop client not a virtual machine [10:36] •Flannel• how do you mean which box ? [10:37] holic: That depends on your remote permissions. Local permissions won't have anything to do with that. [10:37] holic: yeah i just read what you typed before, if youre trying to move stuff from the remote pc or copy it into the actual host than it might be permissions or read only etc [10:38] Flannel: dang beat me to it still simpler expalanation [10:39] so when i remote to the box using nx its using different permissions ? [10:40] can one use unix windows managers in linux? [10:40] holic: no it depends on the permission settings on the host machine youre remoting to [10:40] holic: Its as if you're logged in to that box as if you were sitting in front of it. [10:40] can anyone help me with run windows under ubuntu [10:40] CostaRicanQuaker: should think so but not certain like not even 40% certain [10:41] •Flannel• yep so if thats the case, why cant i cut and paste ? i'm logged on as a user in the admin group [10:41] jeranga: you mean windows operating system or windows manager for linux [10:41] windows operating system [10:41] windows manager for...unix like and linux? [10:41] like fvwm [10:41] holic: Where are you cutting and pasting? Text? The problem might be because you're clipboard is local or something. I've never dealt with NX, so I don't know. [10:41] is anybody here using utorrent under wine? [10:42] jeranga: install virtualbox through synaptic or their website or do command in terminal sudo apt-get install VirtualBox [10:42] •Flannel• i am in file browser [10:42] •Flannel• i want to move a file from one folder to another [10:42] I changed from /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/ the hal-system-power-suspend-linux and the hal-system-power-hibernate-linux with the way that worked with my laptop. After of updates, these files changed again. Is there a permanent solution to make the hibernate and suspend to work? [10:42] godmode117: no point we got deluge and the other one that comes with ubuntu just as good or better [10:42] but utorrent has so many more features [10:43] godmode117: have you seen deluge, have you tried it, just the same [10:43] deluge-torrent is = to utorrent [10:43] thanks for reply me Babyshamble3s [10:43] brb [10:43] i have and it didn't fell like had the same amount of control [10:43] i have already installed through qemu [10:44] now i want to boot it without cd [10:44] how do i do that ?

[10:51] anyway, it's the kernel which is the problem [10:52] hi. does anyone know how to trace a key binding? ctrl+alt+s hides the active window or something, but i want to disable it so I can use it for my firefox plugin... any ideas what uses ctrl+alt+s or how i can trace it?

[11:06] hi, how do you add this command in fstab: 192.168.0.169:/shares/internal/PUBLIC /media/nfs-mybook/ <-- ?

[12:10] I recommend you to get a friend that uses Ubuntu for installing ubuntu in your PC and then help you when necessary [12:10] let's see, security, stability, free, no spyware or viruses (for the most part)... free, and free [12:10] I will see the difference.... [12:10] thefonz: http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ read over that [12:10] thefonz, it is definately faster. [12:11] i heard u can load it entirely on a usb stick. is this a pracitical way to operate an OS [12:11] bigger learning curve with linux, not harder, just different [12:12] You can keep both systems in your hard drive, B.ut I recommend definitively moving to ubuntu after you get confident on it [12:12] sounds like a sermon in here - i'd say let him decide for himself [12:12] !usb | thefonz read this [12:12] thefonz read this: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [12:13] please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [12:15] so what about java applets on 64-bit FF [12:15] hmmm if used a usb flash drive would this ultimately slow down the OS? after all the hdd IO is much faster [12:16] is some quick and nice way turn compiz on and off on the fly? [12:16] One question is there some cli tool for ubuntu which could monitor specific folder or set of folders and to log any files or folder which is deleted? [12:16] thefonz, this is a support channel; for evangelism/potential system use please join #ubuntu-offtopic [12:16] how to disable sound server/services from starting? [12:16] under Preferences -> Appearance [12:16] linduxed: [12:16] linduxed, fusion icon [12:16] yeah fusion icon would work true [12:17] hi, I just started installing ubuntu. But when I press install, nothing happens allthough I hear the discdrive spinning [12:17] is this normal? [12:17] Levodopa, did you md5 the iso and do the disk integrity check; you may also try reburning at a lower speed and if that fails then the alternate cd [12:18] http://cgi.ebay.com/Zimbabwe-50-BILLION-Dollar-UNCirculated-Banknote-2008_W0QQitemZ200241947348QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200241947348&_trkparms=72%3A552|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318 [12:18] DrGamut, dont paste that here [12:18] bazhang: just wondering if you know why they made it to where you can apt-get from the alt cd but not the live? dub if you ask me [12:19] dumb* [12:19] i burned the iso. The "check disc for integrity" didnt react either. [12:19] kindofabuzz, the alternate can be used to upgrade as well as install [12:19] kindofabuzz: you can technically apt-get from the desktop CD, it just only has a handful of packages [12:19] Levodopa, what about md5 [12:19] bazhang: oh so it's all in the file structure probably? [12:19] what is md5? [12:19] !md5 [12:19] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [12:19] Levodopa, ^^ [12:19] kindofabuzz: the desktop CD is an image (the live image) which gets copied to your harddrive. The alternate CD actually contains packages. [12:19] Flannel: k [12:19] makes sense [12:20] live is more of an "image"? [12:20] does anyone know why swap mount so long in Wubi installed Ubuntu? [12:20] kindofabuzz: Live is an image. [12:20] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3000 I posted my problem there, but I think that because the game is so old (and mostly popular in Germany) that I won't get any answers. If anyone has the time and pitty could you check and see if you have any ideas? :D (don't seem to get help in winehq) [12:20] Levodopa, lets do this in channel please [12:20] kindofabuzz: And there are a few packages (not included in the image) that people may need to connect to the internet, etc (build-essential as an example) [12:21] yeah [12:21] (my Post is the first one, by David with the missing textures ;) ) [12:21] hi [12:21] how do I create a partition on a drive that already has stuff on it. eg a 500GB disk to two 250GB disks? this is ubuntu server = no X11 [12:21] i've got an uncommon problem.. [12:22] sebrock: to combine the two, you'll want to use LVM [12:22] !jabber > kindofabuzz [12:22] kindofabuzz, please see my private message === xxx is now known as Guest49398 [12:22] here i am at work but at home i don't have any longer an internet connection (money ..) [12:22] but i need to use various packages [12:22] How would you make your laptop battery life last longer using ubuntu? [12:22] so i was wondering if there is anywhere an 'offline' cd/dvd [12:22] !offline | tux [12:22] tux: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.byethost14.com/ [12:23] I have an idea for improving rhythmbox. Where should I post my idea? [12:23] i can't [12:23] i dont have linux here [12:23] when I downloaded the iso, it didnt come with an md5 [12:23] launchpad? Forums? [12:23] crhylove, brainstorm [12:23] tux: The CD method is called AptOnCD, but it'll only work if you're connected to the internet (much like that synaptic one) [12:23] tux: see the second part, with the website. [12:23] where is brainstorm? [12:23] !brainstorm | crhylove [12:23] crhylove: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [12:23] Flannel, link ? [12:23] Flannel, I want to divide one disk [12:23] oooh! Hurray! Thanks! [12:23] tux: read the rest of that line. [12:23] Flannel, using fdisk will it erase stuff I already have on the disk? [12:24] sebrock: Oh. Alright. parted is a ncurses partition editor [12:24] hey guys, i was wonderering if any of you guys ever seen a folder get converted to a file in ubuntu.. i think my drive got corrupted and now i am trying to figure out exactly how to retrieve my files within this folder/file mess [12:24] so basically i will be able to install packages from a cd ? [12:24] tux: http://apt.byethost14.com/ [12:24] tux: You'll download and then you can put them on a CD. It won't quite work as a CD repository I don't think, but the packages will all be there. [12:24] i downloaded ubuntu from ubuntu.com but it didnt come with an md5 file, so I cant check it. [12:24] forget it then, i'm going to download debian [12:24] see ya [12:25] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3000 I posted my problem there, but I think that because the game is so old (and mostly popular in Germany) that I won't get any answers. If anyone has the time and pitty could you check and see if you have any ideas? :D (my Post is the first one, by David with the missing textures :-( ) [12:25] wait, he has no internet to d/l ubuntu, but he's gonna d/l debian? did i miss something ?lol [12:26] Flannel, ok but will anything on my first partition be erased when creating the second?= [12:26] kindofabuzz: debian provides their entire repos on CDs [12:26] Flannel: yeah all 13 cd's [12:26] are intel core 2 duo processors 64 bit? [12:26] sebrock: You'll have to shrink the first one first. And then create the new partition in the empty space [12:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM Levodopa [12:26] heloo.. how much space harddisk to install ubuntu 8.04? [12:27] Flannel, ok [12:27] <_dennister> gm channel....having great difficulties configuring this system (for a blind user) so that x doesn't load at boot...would anyone be able to help me with these runlevels and stuff? wading thru all the documentation hasn't helped...still stumped [12:27] anyone got a good jabber server guid? [12:27] the previous link said that i should have dl a md5 file with the iso [12:27] hm [12:27] Kuro: Only the System arround 1-2 GB [12:27] _dennister: why are you trying ot make it so X doesn't load at boot? [12:27] yehaa [12:28] I have written a bash script and programmed Metacity to execute it if I press F8. If I press F8 now I cannot see the expected result. How can I find out if pressing F8 calls my bash script? [12:28] <_dennister> Flannel: because the primary user is blind...literally...work with him at the canadian national instiute for the blind [12:28] how to make local repository? [12:28] <_dennister> second user (girlfriend) is sighted [12:29] _dennister: and the GUI screen readers won't work? (I admit I'm not too familiar with how this all works) [12:29] bullgard4: change the script to write something (e.g. date) to a file in /tmp [12:29] <_dennister> Flannel: console is faster, he likes text-based apps like lynx...etc [12:30] _dennister: and he can't use a tty? (ctrl-alt-f1 through f6? with ctrl-alt-f7 getting back to the GUI) [12:30] _dennister: I mean, he can't just switch to a tty to log in, with X still running [12:31] <_dennister> let me try that...i'm sighted, and try to stick with the gui so i don't forget it and can support newbies... [12:31] gah. Rhythmbox isn't listed on brainstorm. [12:31] where should I put my idea. === RandomCake_ is now known as RandomCake [12:31] is there a #brainstorm? === freqk|away is now known as freqk [12:31] crhylove, create a new topic [12:31] so i have the iso, but it sais i have to input this code: md5sum -c filename.md5 [12:32] Flannel, its a XFS partition, can only find how to increase it, not decrease [12:32] but i dont have a .md5 file, but i do have a .md5 hash wich is just a string of letters [12:32] <_dennister> oh lordy....that was easy [12:32] and not a file [12:33] _dennister: If you still want to change runlevels, you'd have to tweak runlevel2 to be text only (in ubuntu/debian, 2-5 are the same) and then have 3-5 be GUI, boot to 2 by default, change to 3 when you want a GUI.

[12:34] _dennister: there's probably something you can change to make it so tty1 (or 2-6) comes up by default, so then you'd be switching to X as the alternate. [12:34] #mamak [12:35] <_dennister> Flannel: using X as the alternate means you lose the recovery mode as the alternate, so I'd prefer not to do that [12:36] _dennister: no, no. I meant so instead of starting on tty7 (gdm) you start on tty1 (a text login) [12:36] ok! so my checksums are the same [12:37] <_dennister> besides, i like the sounds that are activated for the blind user when it's time to login...have been installing screen readers in the gui, but all screen readers and speech synthesizers have their issues, so its hard for them to hkeep up with all the info on the gui [12:37] tx for your patience so far === shevek is now known as Guest3225 [12:37] _dennister: alright, well, glad we could come up with an easy solution.

[12:54] no clue [12:55] neXyon: (despite the k, it is indeed a GTK app) [12:55] RainyLithuanian: it tends to mean the RAM is faulty but it could mean a load of different things. If you know what you're doing and you have spares, I'd start by swapping out the RAM and seeing what happens. If you don't know what you're doing and the PC is new, I'd take it back for replacement or repair under warranty [12:55] hello [12:55] I have problem with my kde [12:55] cojack: #kubuntu [12:55] I don't have CC -> A & T -> Splash screen [12:55] oke [12:55] Yes, it works, thanks everyone [12:55] how do i see the incomming ftp connections to my server ?

Slap them until they admit they don't know what they're talking about =) [12:58] Hi :) Can anyone tell me how to mount a SSD card in Ubuntu Feisty? I have an Acer TravelMate 4310 running Feisty (7.04) [12:59] Hey. [12:59] Dans34: in your ftpserver-log or via "lsof -i". [12:59] You guys know anything about Wine? [12:59] eax: SSD card? like a memory card? [12:59] Freakshow, just ask your question [12:59] Oli``: Yes [12:59] Freakshow: #winehq are better qualified, but you might have luck here [13:00] eax: it *should* auto-mount as soon as you've plugged it in (assuming Ubuntu recognises your card reader) [13:00] I have some issues about Steam, I can't see my own text in friends. [13:00] thanks zorrolero [13:00] Hi folks - my sister has a USB memory stick that always mounts as a read-only file system. Does it need reformatting, or is there any other way to fix it? She doesn't want to mount fomr command line every time. [13:00] Freakshow: install all fonts [13:00] Oli``: Yeah, that's the problem (I think) but couldn't it be something with the fact that I use Feisty? [13:00] and cross your fingers [13:00] eax: You should upgrade. [13:01] hello sinners [13:01] eax: while i'm not completly sure if it helps, it's a good idea overall. [13:01] FreakShow: Yeah I would. If my internet worked after I updated. Which it doesn't due to a kernel error :/ [13:01] !ot | seekingtruth [13:01] seekingtruth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

So it is reported :) But thanks :) [13:04] unop, thanks... [13:04] bazhang ok [13:04] does anyone pls know why my external speakers dont work?

Can't help then sorry :/ [13:08] seekingtruth: Do the speakers work on other computers?

[13:13] ho guys anybody know how to run jiwire for ubuntu skype for find hotspot? or can tell me a good hotspot finder for ubuntu [13:13] #ubuntu-it [13:13] lusepuster, yes [13:13] im using vsftpd people can upload to my server but not downlaod .. what gives ? [13:14] Hi! I am connected to a DSL modem which is inturn connected to internet. I have a Static/Live IP on that Modem, how do I NAT that Ip to my system? [13:15] error404notfound, if you are just one PC on the network, you don't need to NAT at all [13:15] magnetron: but I want to let people see the sites hosted on my system, when I type that ip in browser, I get the modem page [13:15] Hi - I've set up a basic Ubuntu Server with Apache2 and VSFTPD. I've made different domains for each user i have. The webfolders are "mount --bind" to a folder in the users' home folder (ie. /home/user/webdirectory). Everything works fine, except when i upload i get a "403 Forbidden" on the files i upload in the 'webdirectory'. - Any ideas on this? [13:15] If i do chown 777 on the folder it works again until next time i upload a file. [13:16] unop, the problem is... I once mounted it on my laptop, and since then, it has been unwritable on *any* ,achine, M$ Windows or Ubuntu regardless. Could there be something I should change on the disk itself instead? [13:16] Can I simulate an app to run under Gnome? Because I'm under KDE and Teeworlds strangely only runs under Gnome [13:16] eax: check out this thread: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2535 [13:16] error404notfound, ah, that means that the modem is NATing. ok, then you need to enable "port forwarding" in your cable modem [13:16] The-Compiler, there should be no problem running Gnome apps under KDE...? [13:16] Oli``: Great thanks a lot :D [13:16] eax: it's not an "easy" fix. Compiling drivers and horrible jazz like that... but it might work. It worked for other people using your laptop [13:16] The-Compiler, a gnome app can run under kde [13:16] lusepuster, hmm, even if you mount it as root? [13:17] magnetron: I guess that's not an issue to be discussed in #ubuntu? [13:17] everytime I boot the second Harddisk has a different label once it apears with sda1 next time with sb1 how can I fix it [13:17] slt [13:17] error404notfound, not really. but here's a good link for you: http://portforward.com/routers.htm [13:17] lusepuster, some thumb drives have a write-protect lock along the side of the drive? does yours have one? [13:17] lusepuster, arvind_khadri: yeah I know, but if I run Teewars under KDE the menu is w/o captions and I get a strange mousepointer which looks like a windows logo. If I run the same under Gnome it runs fine === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [13:18] Oli``: I'm used to compiling so it's play :P Great thanks a lot mate ^^ [13:18] magnetron: thanks... so keeping the channel rules, I would be leaving now.... [13:18] error404notfound, you don't have to [13:18] The-Compiler, try disabling compiz if you use it and then run teewards [13:18] error404notfound, but this is about as much support you can get without calling your cable company [13:18] arvind_khadri: I don't [13:19] magnetron: hmmm, okay, I will see what I can do... thanks... [13:19] The-Compiler, then the only way i feel is to run gnome and use teewards [13:19] magnetron: can I pm you? [13:19] arvind_khadri: yeah, but that's annoying imho :P [13:20] arvind_khadri: anyways, thanks ;) [13:20] The-Compiler, i know :) but nothing much can be done...welcome :) [13:20] error404notfound, please keep the questions in the channel. it's ok to ask some questions about modems and port forwarding in here [13:20] Hi,guys,in my vmware ubuntu 8.04 ,mouse focus is splashing always?what is it? Is it related with vmware tools?Or it related with my /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [13:20] unop, nope, no button. And it worked fine before mounting it on my machine. Very odd. [13:20] arvind_khadri: just found out that it works if I don't run it fullscreen ;) [13:21] The-Compiler, cool [13:21] yugo, what do you mean by splashing? [13:21] magnetron: I have a DSL605EU, the closest one is DSL605EW, I have selected that, which application's port do I need to forward [13:21] error404notfound, which application do you want to expose to the internet? a web server? [13:21] lusepuster, yea. strange. ok, can you try this. umount the device. and mount it with this command. sudo umount /dev/sdXX; pmount-hal /dev/sdXX # does that change anything? [13:22] magnetron: a web server, an ssh server, and couple of others... its like I want my system to jump to the wire actually ignoring the intermediate modem [13:22] Hello! I've got a problem. I just changed my language to en_DK.UTF-8 and rest of the locale settings to sv_SE.UTF-8. Now I get "junk characters" in the man pages. What to do? [13:23] format [13:23] sunwear, format what [13:23] * Abed breaks out the slapping rod and looks sternly at Abed [13:23] error404notfound, web servers run at port 80, ssh at port 22. for a complete list, see the file /etc/services . whether you can expose all your ports or not (usually referred to as "DMZ") depends on which modem you use. [13:23] Hi - I've set up a basic Ubuntu Server with Apache2 and VSFTPD. I've made different domains for each user i have. The webfolders are "mount --bind" to a folder in the users' home folder (ie. /home/user/webdirectory).

[13:25] unop - i had no idea, i'll google it. [13:26] Hi [13:26] Whats the command that decrease CPU Speed? [13:26] skywalkerdk, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_userdir.html [13:26] unop, first thing, mounting as root didn't work... Trying the other thing. [13:27] unop - cheers. :) [13:27] hello everybody. i want to compile the r8168 driver for my realtek ethernet card. the compile works when i try make modules, but failes if i do 'sudo make modules' [13:27] is this a bad thing? [13:27] lusepuster, how didn't it work? [13:27] Anyone know whats the command that lower my cpu speed? (I am having Core 2 Duo) which supports that [13:28] lusepuster, perhaps the clue to the problem lies in what fails here [13:28] unop, pmount-hal doens' need a mount point specified? [13:28] unop, mounting as root, it was still a read-only file system. [13:28] <_empemp_> hi, my ubuntu installations have poor video performance compared to my xp installation. have a 82855 intel card. direct rendering is working too. Any magic trick that can better my performance?

[13:30] emefarr, i think the intel driver is favoured now [13:30] well , according to your card it is but check if intel driver supporting it [13:31] empire: i810 is the intel driver [13:31] last time i heard , Intel latest driver 'intel' got some improvement in speed [13:32] <_empemp_> hmm [13:32] <_empemp_> need to compile the driver myself? [13:32] unop, when I cd (as an ordinary user) to /dev/KINGSTON after having run pmount-hal, I get permission denied [13:32] wols_, not _the_ intel driver .. there is a xserver-xorg-video-i810 and xserver-xorg-video-intel .. and the later kind of obsoletes the former [13:32] yes , and to tell you the truth intel sux in doucmenting stuff ;) [13:33] lusepuster, /dev/KINGSTON ?? do you mean /media/KINGSTON ? [13:33] is it possible to repair a 99% complete rar file? [13:33] <_empemp_> i guess i will have to read then :) [13:33] unop, , yep sorry :-) [13:33] daedra, highly unlikely [13:33] garr [13:33] hi all, i installed ubuntu 8.04 on my new work laptop yesterday and after adding some restricted drivers got my broadcom wireless adapter to work, last thing i did before finishing for the night was to run an apt-get update now i have no wlan0 interface, what has gone wrong? [13:33] PAR has repairing features [13:33] <_empemp_> or maybe i can find a precompiled one [13:34] lol , emp i dont like to dispoints you its over then 30 times i tried making it work and i failed [13:34] is it not possible to re-download the file? [13:34] (the usenet download format) [13:34] bazhang; the checksum was ok, but i burned it at a slower speed and im installing as we speek. Thanks a lot! [13:34] Hi, is there a way to fill my pastebin from a script? [13:34] lusepuster, hmm, can you list contents like this? sudo ls -l /media/KINGSTON ? [13:34] unop, cd'ing to it as root, I can get there, but when I try going into a dir, it says "couldn't acces [dir], input/output error" [13:34] <_empemp_> rD_: what u suggest? [13:34] Orph yeah but its really big :( [13:34] there is one compiled for debian (not seems to work fine on Ubuntu) and also its not the latest one [13:34] can you download the 1% ? [13:34] that is the easiest part [13:34] Levodopa, nice work :) [13:34] use a program that supports resuming [13:35] which on linux shouldn't be a problem. [13:35] Orph like what [13:35] unop, ls -l'ing ives me "d????????? ? ? ? ? ? [dir] [13:35] Hello [13:35] wget for one [13:35] Im sure. [13:35] lo... I have a problem with my USB stick. I cp'ed stuff to it, and then umounted it. It said it was busy, but didn't complete for about 5m, then I plugged it out... now there is funnies on the drive that I cannot delete... how can I remove these files from the disk? [13:36] _empemp_ : Before you start bothring your self with latest driver did you try to use "intel" as driver in your xorg.conf (this will save you alots of time if it work) [13:36] Orph: how do you pause it/resume it? [13:36] just download it, and point to the current location of the file [13:36] it should auto resume. [13:36] Make a copy incase it doesnt [13:36] <_empemp_> rD_: i tried to type in intel isnted of 810i, just got a black screen and couldn't log in [13:36] I am having trouble getting the driver for my printer [13:36] am I right in thinking Wget will do this guys? [13:36] howdy! I am going to replace an ATI card with an Nvidia one. Anyone has a list of do's and dont's? [13:36] Orph: also, please prefix messages with NAME: [13:36] Im not a fulltime linux user.. heh [13:36] Reenen, did you right click remove safely or just yank it out [13:37] it is a HP psc 2410 photosmart [13:37] bazhang: I did right click, and say "unmount" [13:37] acording to intel driver "This package provides the driver for the Intel i8xx and i9xx family of chipsets, including i810, i815, i830, i845, i855, i865, i915, i945" [13:37] daedra: Sorry [13:37] i really dont see why it shouldnt work [13:37] Reenen, and you waited until it was unmounted? [13:37] <_empemp_> it should work yes [13:37] bazhang: but then it said it can't yet, and it showed that message for long (way longer than it should take to copy the files), so then I "yanked it out" as you say [13:38] anyway its 4:38 PM here , i have to meet one of my friends so i gota go [13:38] so cya and good luck [13:38] If I change display adapter and do not get proper resolution, how do I reconfigure X ? [13:38] I downloaded HP's self extracting archive but when I run it (sh hplip-2.8.7.run) it says that it cant open it [13:38] <_empemp_> thx [13:38] dpkg-reconfigure X ? [13:39] bazhang: but before I yanked it out, I tried to access it via terminal, and via the "explorer", but in neither could I see the USB stick... so I assumed it was unmounted already [13:39] btw I am running with Hardy [13:39] Question In add and remove under all available applications if u keep the cursor on it the text box will read ones that may be restricted by law what's up with that [13:39] anyone ? [13:39] NewBe, what's the problem? [13:39] usr13: gksudo displayconfig-gtk [13:39] chase what have you tried? the hplip should have support for that [13:40] I cant open it though [13:40] hi [13:40] erUSUL, Can I do that with X still running? [13:40] I have tryed only having linux do it for me and hplip [13:40] usr13: yep [13:40] how can i switch to a lost window ? , it is running but not on the taskbar and desktop :( [13:40] lusepuster applications restricted by law [13:40] Reenen, seems some files were corrupted then; are they re-downloadable? [13:40] erUSUL, tnx [13:41] yes... no data is lost [13:41] NewBe, yep, some countries (the US included) restrict some apps by law, mostly some patented aurio/video codecs. The users should be aware of that, don't you think? [13:41] bazhang: it is just that there is "garbage" files on the drive that I want to delete [13:41] chase: check the permissions on hplip-2.8.7.run make sure it is executeable [13:41] looks like gnome-panel lost a process to list, anyone how to manual switch,focus to a window? [13:42] lusepuster how can u tell witch ones r [13:42] Reenen, do you have permission issues with them? are they locked for instance? [13:42] alsa is messed up [13:42] NewBe, it's up to each user to know what the law in their respective countries says [13:42] (failed: modules still loaded: snd-hda-intel snd-pcm snd-page-alloc snd-hwdep snd-timer) [13:42] bazhang: yes, it claims to be read-only, and some IO stuff too [13:42] newbe not really an issue for end-users though [13:43] legend2440: I made it executable but It still wont work [13:43] bazhang: rm: cannot remove `%│6üj5æ¼.ÆB\\': Input/output error [13:43] rm: cannot remove `8]D\026ùφÖ┌.ê"\036': Read-only file system [13:43] What programs etc. do I need to get the sound to work? The sound card seems to be found by system when I type lspci. [13:43] bazhang so i need not be worried [13:43] chase: try ./hplip-2.8.7.run aperiod before the/ [13:43] Reenen, what about with sudo [13:44] no such file [13:44] NewBe, more related to Ubuntu liability; you need not worry [13:44] I am on my desktop [13:44] bazhang: nope sudo still doesn't delete it [13:44] how do i delete folders that are owned by another user ? [13:44] chase: you have to cd to the folder where the file is [13:44] I'm new to Ubuntu and loving it but today I upgraded my router firmware because of a security risk and now I can not connect to all websites, keeps on timing out, in Windows, all the sites load with no problem, I have been searching online for the last 4 hours but can't find a solution, any ideas anyone [13:44] lost wifi connection grrr [13:44] What does cat -v do? i read the man page but i dont see it doing anything when i actually use it [13:44] I am there [13:44] bazhang ok thanks [13:44] It is saved on my desktop [13:44] lusepuster, sorry, had to attend to the phone - sounds like your device needs fsck-ing .. have a look at the output of dmesg to see if anything's reported about this device. [13:45] dans34_2: you cnat delete those unless ur admin also know as a sudoer [13:45] np [13:45] yes i can use sudo . but whats the command after that ? [13:45] chase: type ls -al in terminal is hplip-2.8.7.run listed [13:45] Flynsarmy, it shows non-printable control characters [13:45] dans34_2: sudo rm -r folder if the folder isn't empty [13:46] thanks [13:46] or sudo rmdir folder if the folder are empty [13:46] Flynsarmy, like this here. perl -le 'print chr(rand(32)) for 0..10' | cat -v [13:46] no [13:47] chase: cd /home/yourusername/Desktop then sh hplip-2.8.7.run [13:48] unop, no problem :) [13:48] Thank you, that worked, I dont know why but it did [13:48] I was on my desktop before [13:49] lusepuster, well, you could try reformatting the disk - it might sort the problem out, could just be a shaky filesystem [13:50] unop, dmesg gives me "[46519.340347] FAT: Filesystem panic (dev sdb1) [46519.340356] fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0) [46519.340360] File system has been set read-only" [13:50] crashbit , thanks worked perfectly [13:50] Do you have to type 'emerald --replace & disown' everytime you relog? [13:50] unop, that kinda indicates a reformat is needed, right? [13:51] If I move the monitor cable from the mother board to a video card will the cpu run slower [13:51] chase put command in sessions [13:51] lusepuster, you could reformat - but fsck might be able to sort the filesystem out - do the latter if there is stuff on the disk that you need to retrieve [13:51] NewBe, unlikely [13:52] unop, only one replacable dir. [13:52] bazhang ok thanks [13:52] lusepuster, then a reformat is easier [13:52] Would I do that in System > preferences > Sessions? [13:52] chase yes [13:52] where is the terminal located? [13:53] Applactions > Acessories > terminal [13:53] unop, what's the easiest way to do that? Any graphical tools? (mostly because I'd like my non-command line savvy sister to be able to do it another time, just in case) [13:53] alt f2 gnome-terminal chase [13:54] Where is it located in the filesystem? [13:54] I know how to get to it, but I have to put a path to it. [13:54] chase, the gnome terminal? [13:54] chase which gnome-terminal in terminal [13:54] lusepuster, hmm, gparted maybe? not sure - i don't use gnome [13:55] unop, gparted only sees the nhard drive. Any KDE/Other tool? [13:55] chase, which appname in terminal generally speaking [13:55] skywalkerdk, sure, but let's keep it in the channel [13:55] unop, I'm not a DE fundamentalist ;-) [13:55] bazhang if that is a question i dont know [13:55] chase the command is which [13:55] what is the default window manager installed with ubuntu [13:55] emerald --replace & disown? [13:56] gnome dans34_2 [13:56] lusepuster, i don't use KDE either :) -i 'm pretty sure gparted could do it, just delete the existing partition, create a new one, etc [13:56] thanks [13:56] Who use isa [13:56] chase, you want the path to terminal right? [13:56] yes [13:56] dans34_2, metacity [13:56] chase for the path to most apps use the command which followed by the appname (do this in the terminal) [13:56] Who use irc as a mobile phone? [13:57] lusepuster, yea - as shown here. http://images.howtoforge.com/images/installation_guide_fedora8_desktop/big/gparted.jpg [13:57] Rayme: is that even possible to use irc as a mobile phone? [13:58] Baby_Shambl3s: no [13:58] Can anyone here me? [13:58] unop, yeah but gparted only seems to see my hard drive... Not gnome or KDE, then what? And do you know of a graphic or command line tool you usually use? [13:58] Rayme, perhaps you mean on a mobile phone [13:58] using IRC as IM is doable: bitlbee. but not as a phone [13:58] wols_: i wanted him to answer it, its much more enjoyable [13:58] bazhang: if he does it's OT [13:58] Rayme: yes we can now what is your problem [13:58] bazhang I dont understand what you mean [13:59] lusepuster, no, i use the command line fdisk/cfdisk [13:59] Yes, im using in a mobile phone [13:59] !ot | Rayme [13:59] Rayme: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[14:59] JasonBourne, offtopic here [15:00] i mean im just scrolling around [15:00] an big videos popup [15:00] wols_-> am kind of convinced that it is related to sysfs naming that is caused by the kernel ..and sysfs feeds udev for the names [15:00] can linux do that?

What is the order for that command? [15:26] ok [15:26] i found [15:27] Is the weather function in Evolution a bug? [15:27] I am sure soneone has seen this ... Doing upgrades ubuntu 8.04 wants to install libgsu2-0 but it fails, the UNC points to where the update should be but it isn't ... suggestions? [15:27] should i still use 'sudo update-menus' in ubuntu? [15:27] wols_: heh... wasn't installed... wonder what he thought he was clicking on? [15:27] thinh-> and what happens again? was the driver loaded? look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/wireless/ [15:27] i can see wlan0 in my iwconfig but the signal strength is 0 i try to set the signal strength but still no AP list in my network manager [15:27] servant74: maybe the repo isn't synced yet [15:27] ttmrichter: yes try gentoo or Linux From Scratch [15:28] !who | thinh [15:28] thinh: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:28] thinh-> do you see AP when you sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [15:28] hi ubottu [15:28] ari_stress: it has been a couple of days ... [15:29] ari_stress: and I am still getting the message ... hmmm [15:29] amenado it says wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [15:29] servant74: maybe trying to use the main repo? [15:30] ari_stress: where should I point the UNC? [15:30] servant74: from the synaptic package manager, click on repositories, and choose the us server [15:31] Does anybody use Evolution for email and other stuff? [15:31] legend2440: I was thinking more an actual distribution, not a software Mecano set. ;) [15:31] ari_stress: k ... thanks ... will give it a go! [15:31] thinh-> then it seems like the driver for it is not properly loaded or incompatible [15:31] thinh-> oh, and it is wlan0 right not eth0 or ath0 is the name ofyour nic? [15:32] ttmrichter: here we help with Ubuntu... if the bug is filed, you'll need to wait for it to be fixed... in the mean time you can use gpg itself. If you want to ask about other distros, try ##linux perhaps [15:32] amenado yeah it a wlan0 [15:32] newair: i tried evolution, but now i use thunderbird [15:32] join #ubuntu-ES,#kubuntu-ES [15:33] thinh-> was the driver loaded? look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/wireless/ and then sudo lsmod |grep iwl [15:33] fde: The bug has been filed since May without even a follow-up question. And how, precisely, does one "use GPG itself" from, say, Evolution? [15:33] is there a way to restore a broken ubuntu, think i have messed with it to much and files are missing === kingrayray is now known as kingrayray_ === kingrayray_ is now known as kingrayray [15:33] demonicblue-> a fresh install may be in order..less time..but its up to you [15:34] Hello. I'm experiencing a great delay when scrolling webpages in Firefox [15:34] amenado i dont have a wireless folder in drivers [15:34] amenado: would be easy but i already got some programs up and running etc [15:34] ttmrichter: lol good one [15:34] ari_stress, thank you for your response. Did evolution seem half developed? Also does thunderbird have the calendar function? And would I need to do an uninstall for Evolution? [15:34] Hello [15:34] ttmrichter: look in preferences for the account... under "security" . [15:34] i've created and then deleted files on my ext3 drive, but "df" shows that the space wasn't reclaimed. assuming this is normal, how could i force reclaim it? [15:35] thinh-> maybe its kernel/net/wireless i forget details like these [15:35] Another interesting question: how is it that removing seahorse doesn't seem to remove seahorse-agent or seahorse-daemon? Are these in different packages? [15:36] Hello. I'm experiencing a great delay when scrolling webpages in Firefox. Is saw a bug report on launchpad.. does somebody know the progress of this bug? It's killing me [15:36] demonicblue-> well its your choice, what programs you have already running? [15:36] I am having some issues with apt-get update, namely it generates the errors "Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)" and "Unknown error executing gpgv" the apt-get version is apt 0.6.43.3ubuntu2. Its a min install in a vps. [15:37] amenado: not really that much that i can't redo and it's quick with Wubi [15:37] ttmrichter: dpkg -S /usr/bin/seahorse-agent ? [15:37] fde: I'm looking at the Evolution account editor as you said. I'm not seeing anything there that allows me to use just plain old GPG without seahorse. [15:37] amenado it return 3 lines iwl3945 92020 0 [15:37] mac80211 231616 1 iwl3945 [15:37] cfg80211 29392 2 iwl3945,mac80211 [15:37] <[z]neo> how to force kill a process... like this Manage Themes, if i click close it doesnt close... anyone? [15:37] demonicblue-> wubi? those are pretty much for temporary, just do show and demo, you want a permanent install for full enjoyment [15:38] >_> i accidentally downloaded, burnt, installed, and setup the wrong xubuntu version [15:38] can anyone help me with ssh.. im going nuts here. no matter what i try its always the same thing client - ssh to server = asking for passw <-- and I dont knwo the passw = permission denied [15:38] [z]neo, use xkill perhaps. alt+f2 then type xkill .. then click on the window you want closing [15:38] [z]neo: ps aux and notice the pid of the program, and then sudo kill -9 pid [15:38] amenado: well it's the easiest when i want to keep windows and i'm a beginner [15:38] clock2306, what username are you using? [15:38] thinh-> it is loaded but it does not even allow you do scan, so perhaps there is a problem with that driver, google for articles on that [15:38] ttmrichter: umm, Edit > Preferences > Mail Accounts ... "Edit"... "Security" tab... enter your GPG key and click "Always sign outgoing mesages" :/ [15:38] ari_stress, kill -9 is rarely ever needed .. try alternatives first [15:38] unop: on the server? nothing I guess, i never created one [15:39] demonicblue-> step up to the next level..install it permanently :P [15:39] fde: That's the bug. It pops up a dialog box when I try to sign a message that won't let me enter a password. [15:39] okey thanks amenado [15:39] It goes through seahorse and seahorse is badly bugged. [15:39] i recently installed a large bunch of updates and now whenever i try to use sudo i get: 'sudo : unable to resolve host NAME'... did i break something? :( [15:39] clock2306, so how do you expect to log on? :) you need a valid user on the server to be able to log on (ssh or otherwise) [15:39] amenado: that would be cool but then i have to find a guide for dualboot etc [15:39] Hello I am setting up a local network with Samba between Ubuntu and Windows, would anyone know how to do it properly concerning the Windows part of it? [15:39] unop: all the guies/tutorials i followed says the samething login to your remote, but everytime I do that, its always asking for a passwd, so i can never finish a tutorial, i cant get past the passw thing [15:39] amenado: nope :( [15:39] demonicblue-> no fear, there are plenty of tutorials on dualbooting [15:39] :dito::dito: [15:39] :dito: [15:39] :dito: [15:40] I was follwing this tutorial, but for some reason the ifconfig isn't showing the proper information: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 [15:40] Anon6628: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:40] clock2306, is this a server you setup? [15:40] unop: do you have a good guide i can use? [15:40] <[z]neo> unop: [z]neo, use xkill perhaps. alt+f2 then type xkill .. then click on the window you want closing [15:40] <[z]neo> ari_stress: [z]neo: ps aux and notice the pid of the program, and then sudo kill -9 pid [15:40] Ok. Can anyone help me real quick? I am not a command line guy, and have to get this right. = sudo mount -t -o force ntfs-3g/dev/sda5 /media/disk-1 [15:40] <[z]neo> which is better? [15:40] kudak-> what happens? you still can not get good info on /dev/sdb1 ? [15:40] [z]neo, use xkill first [15:40] amenado: and partioning is not that easy in XP [15:40] unop: im trying to ssh from my main os - kubuntu (client) into my guest os (vmare-gentoo) === xandhy is now known as andhy [15:40] [z]neo: xkill is more convenient [15:40] [z]neo, kill -9 must only be used sparingly [15:40] amenado: exactly the same as befor the restart [15:40] demonicblue-> use the livecd and it has a gparted to take care of partitioning, it will save your xp partitions [15:41] clock2306, well, setup a user in the vmware-gentoo install and then use that user with ssh [15:41] has Anon6628 spamed here? [15:41] how to show the messages during boot instead of the bar? [15:41] When I run ifconfig on my network eth0 IP is fe80::250:8dff:fe82:a07f/64 ??? [15:41] :ciao::ciao: [15:41] :ciao: [15:41] fde: If I could use something other than seahorse from Evolution, this would end all my problems. GPG works fine by itself, but as soon as it tries to use seahorse as an agent, it bombs. Big time. [15:41] that's not an IP...

[15:43] clock2306, you've got a catch 22 then .. without a valid user, you can't log on .. has a root account been created on the gentoo install yet? i'm not very familiar with gentoo's phases, but i am pretty sure a root account is created on phase 1 [15:43] FreeBullets, there is no ubuntu 6 or ubuntu 8 [15:43] demonicblue-> its a driver for allowing linux read and write xp formatted filesystem called ntfs [15:43] anyone got a tethered 8300 blackberry to work in ubuntu? [15:43] clock2306, this is a gentoo issue you're asking about in #ubuntu -- you will have to ask someone who knows about gentoo .. in #gentoo perhaps .. [15:44] hi all [15:44] unop: but its not related to gentoo since i havent actually built gentoo [15:44] uhh, xubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake to xubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron?

[15:44] amenado: cant find the /dev/sdb1 device [15:44] unop: im just a noob, i guess i have to read on [15:44] clock2306, it is a gentoo issue if you're trying to ssh into a partial build of gentoo .. [15:44] amenado: ok and what is the best to se 64 or 32 bits? [15:44] kudak-> what is it? /dev/hdb1 ? [15:44] i downloaded the Ubuntu CD image from a site, and I assume it comes with a live cd (since the alternate CD is stated to be without teh live CD Gui) [15:44] FreeBullets: i think you need to upgrade one version each step [15:44] unop: oh okay [15:45] demonicblue-> 32bits me thinks, as i have not experience with 64bit :) [15:45] but when I boot from the CD it only boots to a text based shell [15:45] amenado: according to fdisk.../dev/sdb1 [15:45] mib_slbnwj: maybe you download the ubuntu server [15:45] unop: thats too bad, because im not joining #gentoo, I did it once and ive never seen such hostility towards noobs [15:45] kudak what is showing in mount?

[16:11] KrimZon, take a look at bridge-utils [16:11] raydolphin: describe exactly what is your prob [16:11] Clint_: plug the CD in, restart your computer, it should boot. if it doesn't, access your BIOS by pressing the key that you're instructed to press right when your computer starts (usually DEL), and there you are in the BIOS. [16:11] what is SEC_TYPE in blkid? [16:11] Clint_: i do suggest reading the link i provided.

[16:12] How do I make nautilus view all folders with list view? [16:12] JasonBourne: yes it works when under Windows. Now I got rid of that, and installed Ubuntu [16:12] wiehan: you'd want to write a script upstart understands that starts whatever if the wii remote is enabled though... which is sorta what it's designed for, so it shouldn't be hard :) [16:13] raydolphin: you might try going 2 system>Preferences>multimedia System Selector [16:13] so ur sayin ubunutu killed ur sound? [16:13] fde thanks === ScT-808y is now known as bobby [16:13] gah, even a completely open wireless won't connect.

However there are several inactive (but open) windows that I want to be updated as well. How can I fix this? I don't know if it's a client or server issue. The server is running Windows XP using TightVNC. [16:14] VitaLinux: I read the link you sent, it said that lower than 9500 is no longer supported. So is that means that the mesa driver I have is the correct one? [16:14] VitaLinux: There isn't one under that heading. [16:14] Does any one know or can help me with this??? --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=877830 [16:14] raydolphin: If it's not there, you should add it [16:14] raydolphin: use add/remove [16:15] JasonBourne: Maybe, but never tried sounds on Ubuntu since I installed it a few months ago. Now I have some songs I want to hear, but can't get it to work [16:15] mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/4d16bcf5-6f76-4f2f-9eb6-7af2bfed316e does not exist [16:15] okay VitaLinux.

[16:15] BBin you can set it to show new folders (ones you haven't viewed, and therefore set the default view for) in edit->prefs [16:16] raydolphin: have u tried system>Preferences>sound ? It might help, though [16:16] Did that. Still no sound.

[16:25] kindofabuzz: I can't even get unsec to work :-/ [16:25] Vitalinux: I already did that but apt-get update complains about the being unable to connect to the ip 190.44.147.242 [16:25] Found out that the 'external amplifier' was ticked!! So I unticked it, and sound finally came out of laptop's speakers. thanks. [16:25] pagangeek: what card? [16:25] kindofabuzz so no encryption?? [16:25] oi [16:25] djhash that will preserve uuid's (usser's technique) but the (hdX,X) in grub might change. Be sure to check that [16:25] raz0r949494: no, i just go with mac filtr [16:26] kindofabuzz: Linksys WPC54G v5. its installed fine, driver works and iwlist can see the ap.. but no joy at all when i try to connect [16:26] felipe__: u should check your network then [16:26] Vitalinux: that's what I'm saying, but how? [16:26] naughtykid001, what does lspci say and do lsmod | grep ati pastebin it [16:26] Vitalinus: you mean the router? [16:26] kindofabuzz ok that sounds helpful, this would provide adequate security? [16:26] felipe__: yes [16:26] Vitalinux: or local config? [16:26] felipe__: both [16:26] pagangeek: here's the guide i used, subsitute the driver they mention with the one you get from linksys. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [16:26] felipe__: check both [16:27] russo: nothing ? [16:27] Vitalinux: you're really not helping [16:27] Vitalinux: thanks anyway [16:27] naughtykid001: its just i asked an ati question :P [16:27] and you suddenly mentioned ati [16:27] felipe__: it's that so? Thanx 4 nothing then [16:27] and posted your xorg.conf :P [16:27] no blur no trail still the same [16:27] kindofabuzz: I'll go through it and try [16:27] Vitalinux: *IS that so... [16:28] pagangeek: it says fiesty but worked with me on hardy [16:28] russo: sorry accident I guess [16:29] this is driving me nut though, so has anyone gotten an hd3xxx running on ubuntu :( [16:29] coz i can't upgrade my swfdec to 0.6.6 [16:29] raz0r949494: no, mac filter is not very good security since it can be cracked pretty quick. but i'm not worried about it where i live [16:29] i want 3d graphics :( and not slow vesa [16:29] stuck at 0.6.0 [16:29] strang question -- I like to maximize my windows, i.e. without toolbars and such, but my screen is 1920 wide, so I'd like to split that up in two as far as X is concerened -- is that possible? [16:29] is hardy here? [16:29] I'm making a startup script type thing, I'm gonna make it executable and add it in the startup, but some of the command I need to run as sudo, but I don't want to type in my password for the script at each startup, what should I do [16:29] kindofabuzz great, so there is no hope for a properly secure wireless netowrk in linux?? [16:30] usser: wait a minute, having problem accessing pastebin [16:30] simond: everything is possible, but you may need to refine what you want to do a bit :) [16:30] wiehan, if your script requires root priviliges then gnome sessions is not the right place to put it [16:30] raz0r949494: yeah it's possible, i just can't figure it out. NM is so weird. i set all my stuff in /etc/network/interfaces, then network manager just erases it [16:30] wiehan, take a look at init.d scripts [16:31] nonix4: well, I'd like the characteristics of a dual-monitor set up, on a single monitor. [16:31] usser: is that /etc/init.d ? [16:31] wiehan, or even easier way would be add call to your script to /etc/rc.local [16:31] simond: depending on your goal, xserver-xephyr or xnest could fit there... or maybe some window managers have such functionality too [16:31] any ideas why apt-get update is trying to connect to 190.44.147.242 instead of my repo (200.24.234.62) [16:32] kindofabuzz: No joy, those were basically the steps i followed to start with.. [16:32] wiehan, rc.local is easier but never hurts to learn how init.d scripts work\ [16:32] usser would that give it sudo privileges? [16:32] mmm [16:32] usser: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/33384/ [16:32] kindofabuzz: My card is running as it should, ndiswrapper has control... but network manager just doesn't like me..

I don't personally find it any more or any less stable than Gutsy [17:34] kindofabuzz: yeah, but that's not the doc I'm looking for [17:34] Rageon: Its been more stable for me but people have been complaining about hard freezes [17:35] poomalai, in firefox preferences advanced->network connection settings set proxy to manual and give it some non existing name and port say 100 and then put sites u want to allow into no proxy for field [17:35] kindofabuzz: I said the reference manual, not man page [17:35] Lichte: what are you looking for? that shows you everything [17:35] no need for thanks, its the least I can try to help while I am on a non linux machine... but it can be the same for mac, linus and windows [17:35] kindofabuzz: read man aptitude about ~ [17:35] linux* [17:35] :< i get hard freezes on gutsy, and firefox crashes all the time [17:35] oompa_loompa it's a setting in ccsm (compizconfig-settings-manager) [17:35] Lichte: well, the man page does link to the reference manual [17:36] nickrud ok Im there where can i find it? [17:36] Rageon, have you tried hardy?

[18:53] ok [18:54] Could somone help me with ubuntu [18:54] its giving me serious trouble [18:54] montpelie: Well, I'd start by opening the mixer, and then Edit -> Preferences and make sure all relevant options are turned on, and then look to see if anything's muted that shouldn't be and the recording volumes are high enough. [18:54] !ask | richard [18:54] richard: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:55] inik3: that worked, thanks [18:55] montpelie: If that isn't it, then another relevant setting is in System -> Preferences -> Sound -- you can play with the Sound Capture dropdown and see if any of the options help. [18:55] sorry, ok my problem is, Ubuntu freezes up randomly. [18:55] lordleemo, it wont extract [18:55] richard, that's a rather poor description of the problem...

[18:56] montpelie: My microphone just stopped working after a reboot this morning, and I have no idea what's wrong. [18:57] I get no error of any kind.. the OS just totally locks up and I have to reboot. [18:57] didnt work either [18:57] currently, grub's menu.lst is setting default grub root device to hd0,4, which needs to change [18:57] usser, I appreciate the effot usser, you're a good guy for the Linux community [18:57] I resized the 1st partition on the HD and added a 2nd partition to the unallocated space. [18:57] Polish_Rifle, thnx hope u solve your issues [18:57] earthsound: UMOUNT [18:57] says "no such file, in directory" keeps searching for license [18:58] inik3: i'm running from a live cd [18:58] earthsound: in basic it 's not hard [18:58] whats the text editor in command line? [18:58] hi [18:59] Baby_Shambl3s, there are several, maybe "gedit" [18:59] hey guys, running an ubuntu live cd here, just wondering, how safe is it to mount a windows partition on this [18:59] my question is, since I've added a partition before the linux partition, do i need to change all (hd0,4) to (hd0,5)? [18:59] vocx: npe thats graphical i need it in cli [18:59] K11 super safe [18:59] and also, what would the command be to make the windows partition read only [18:59] Baby_Shambl3s, try "nano", or "vim" [18:59] hd0,4 is where the ubuntu partition was before adding the new partition before the ubuntu partition [19:00] vocx: now you got it its called nano i cant use vim i find it a nightmare [19:00] kl1, I guess it's safer if it is mounted read only. [19:00] quick question... if i reformat my "My Book" 500 GB drive to NTFS, can Ubuntu still write to it? I have to reformat because its default FAT filesystem can't have 4 GB+ files i noticed. [19:00] earthsound: only if u change partition numbers [19:00] the [19:01] the_darkside_986 if ubuntu is on another disk installed [19:01] Baby_Shambl3s, you don't need to know all the advanced features of vim to use it. Just edit a few words, and get out :qw [19:01] that's what i mean... [19:01] how do i make the partition read only? === os2mac is now known as os2mac_ [19:01] vocx: cant even do that in vim :( [19:01] !xterm [19:01] If with all the cute terminals that are around you're still using xterm, then you deserve any problem you're experiencing with it.

[19:02] earthsound: you dont need to change them if number stay same [19:02] the_darkside_986 well it can write to ntfs [19:02] Baby_Shambl3s, in vim just hit escape to get to the normal mode, then "i" to insert mode.

[19:03] uhmm have you already checked the log??? Cale , you may be able to get further info about the reason why the driver was not probably loaded (just a thought) [19:03] inik3: that's what i'm not sure of. I don't know exactly how GRUB is labeling the partitions & what it will think now that I've basically split the 1st partition on the HD into 2 [19:03] vocx: ill stick to nano for now im going to do a base install and using vim will not help === nibsa1242b_ is now known as nibsa1242b [19:03] can anyone help me set up wpa in wifi radar [19:03] with ubuntu on a later partition [19:04] who here is on mac, on ppc? how well ubuntu works for ap extreme wifi cards? [19:04] Baby_Shambl3s, I haven't even used nano that much. However, apparently it does have some advance features. Simple edits and Control.key is enough right? [19:05] TechPepsi, have you asked in the PPC forums on ubuntuforums.org I don't think many people use PPC nowadays [19:05] vocx: yup you got it again vim just seems hard for me or im just being lazy in learning how to use it, just like irssi [19:05] aww [19:05] Can Ubuntu be used to reformat an external USB hard disk to NTFS?

The OpenSource i think will have something. [19:32] vocx : ok will avoid it from next time. [19:32] usser: yes, i'm thinking something like command &; sleep (number); killall command [19:32] chipbunny: Just look in the Linux Wiki. [19:33] RequinB4, yea basically http://pastebin.ca/1091110 [19:33] azhar27, I like audacious, but I think many guys prefer a huge monster like kaffeine and Amarok, because of the ipod support and stuff. I don't care. [19:33] usser: thanks, that's basically it (why the counter tho? [19:34] vocx : ok, does anyone use winamp installed over wine.

[19:35] azhar27; no, rythmbox or even KDE use amarok [19:35] azhar27, I don't think winamp brings anything to the table. Save for skins.

[19:36] RequinB4, np [19:37] soundray : using audacious, was just wondering if there is something more close to winamp, with auto-tag features and other media features. [19:37] Has anybody tried songbird for Ubuntu. [19:37] Floodbot is the only admin? who controls this channel exactly? [19:37] hi there, I use ubuntu hardy heron and firefox 3 (x86_64) and having problems with installing java I've been googling around and don't seem to know how to work out the problem :S ..so finally i've come here for help anyone ? [19:38] azhar27, I think winamp has grown a lot, not necessarily a good thing for those who want a simple media player.

[19:39] Revenge2K, you do not see them, but they see you! Are you scared now? [19:39] lesshaste : is it a problem with flash websites or just more tabs. [19:39] chipbunny: Tried the Printers configurations? (System->Administration->Print/Printer) [19:40] hi there, I use ubuntu hardy heron and firefox 3 (x86_64) and having problems with installing java I've been googling around and don't seem to know how to work out the problem :S ..so finally i've come here for help anyone ? [19:40] azhar27, it could be flash... just clicking on a javascript link quite often freezes it [19:40] where is it that your going that deals withjava? [19:41] lesshaste : Nobody else is facing the problem. [19:41] TechPepsi : Facebook [19:41] azhar27, ok [19:41] hrm [19:41] lesshaste : Do you have enough RAM. [19:41] Firefox 3 - how do I install it? [19:41] azhar27, yes I am sure it is a bug [19:41] it's an instant freeze [19:41] darkblue_B Don't install it [19:41] but I should try disabling flash etc first [19:41] danya: ?? [19:42] danya, I think I read that it's because they are using a very new Flash 10. The problem wouldn't be so bad if they sticked to a previous version. [19:42] darkblue_B I'm hating it too many problems with it not to mention the freezing [19:42] lesshaste : ok, report a bug, i don't want to have that problem. [19:42] ok [19:42] smashy [19:42] just use flash 9 until 10 is stable [19:42] youre kidding.. Firefox 3 isnt working well on Ubuntu 8? [19:43] darkblue_B nope [19:43] firefox 3 works well in mine [19:43] have you tried flock iks working well under wine [19:43] TechPepsi : I think Im using Flash 9 [19:43] I installed firefox32 inside of ubuntu 8.04 amd64, flash/java/mplayer32 everything is working 100%. The only thing that seems to be wrong is that now firefox32 is rendering everything non-antialiased (font wise), however, every other gtk2 application is anti-aliased. There doesn't seem to be a ia32-libs-gtk package as ia32-libs replaces it, and conflicts with it. Has anyone come across this problem? I have searched the forums and found only 1 post re [19:43] since you mentioned FF3 [19:43] FF3 isnt great [19:43] I thought I'd ask again today, anyone know anything about this, please help [19:43] danya, hrm [19:43] its got firefox 3 built in [19:44] hello .i have this problem :error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1 [19:44] luis installed fglrx latley?

[19:49] danya : it was all auto-installed, if you are java jdk, i installed it thro apt-get [19:49] normally when i used to install windows i had to install all sorts of motherboard drivers etc, do we have to do that in ubuntu or not?

The upgrade itself (edit sources.list, aptitude dist-upgrade) seemed to go fine, but on reboot the kernel can't find any disks. [20:05] darkblue_B, I would say download manually - but it seems packages.ubuntu.com is down [20:06] choudesh: well, I am (clearly) not versed in this repository craft [20:06] soundray: usb0 comes up, but no inet or gateway. It seems to get a inet6 addr though. odd [20:06] darkblue_B, let try some other things first. [20:06] Crell: probably because the hardy kernel sees /dev/sda devices where edgy saw /dev/hda [20:06] The normal boot freezes and doesn't seem to even load the kernel. If I do recovery mode, I get numerous errors trying to load the SATA drives and then it dumps me to a ramfs prompt. [20:06] The system still boots from the old kernel, though. [20:06] Hm. [20:06] darkblue_B, can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file and the output of sudo apt-get update [20:06] sure.. thx [20:07] soundray: How do I go about teaching it about the new drives? [20:07] Toaster`: did you pastebin all of /etc/network/interfaces ? [20:07] !pastebin | darkblue_B [20:07] darkblue_B: 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) [20:07] Crell: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab [20:07] soundray: the only things left out are the two lo lines === niki77 is now known as nikola77 [20:08] While booted from the old kernel? [20:08] Crell: either that, or sort it out from a live CD (safer) [20:08] hm. [20:08] * Crell goes to find a live CD... [20:09] soundray: this is the same setup I have on my desktop, which is why I'm confused as to the problem [20:09] Toaster`: there must be a tiny inconspicuous difference... [20:10] hi [20:10] choudesh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33425/ [20:10] i want to ask you a question [20:10] Toaster`: perhaps udev rules capture the device and take precedence over what's in interfaces. I don't understand udev well, but I'd have a look there [20:10] dory|an: go ahead, no need to ask to ask [20:10] darkblue_B, you are running gutsy [20:11] !firefox gutsy | darkblue_B [20:11] soundray: maybe, but both systems are 8.04, so udev should be the same [20:11] i have installed jedi academy on my ubuntu with Wine and now it asks for CD1 [20:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox gutsy [20:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/33426/ [20:12] hello, can i change the key /dektop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi in the text mode? i set it wrong with the gconf editor... [20:12] choudesh: ohh 7.10 -> gutsy.. not 8 [20:12] ok [20:12] there is no daemon-tools like software to work in Wine that i know of [20:13] Okay, for Picasa, I see an option to export pictures to the web. Cool. To bad Google wasn't smart enought to think of IMPORTING pictures from the web. [20:13] dory|an: run winecfg and give wine access to your CDROM drive [20:13] can i mount and copy files from another cdrom while running the live cd? [20:13] And if you work at Google, anyone...I'm sorry. [20:13] wow! thank you !!!! [20:13] viat0r: sure, if you have a second CD drive [20:14] i do [20:14] question of the day.. will Linux ever become popular? if the community doesnt get it together...

[20:15] nah i thought this was general chat [20:15] viat0r: u can use mount command [20:15] !offtopic | Revenge2K [20:15] Revenge2K: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:15] Hi [20:15] Revenge2K: general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [20:15] how do i give wine acces to my cdrom ? [20:15] Hi [20:15] um yeah but i dont know what the drive is called [20:15] viat0r: probably /dev/cdrom1 [20:15] I was just wondering how you connect to the Interweb on a Comtrend ADSL modem? === niki77 is now known as nikola77 === freqk|away is now known as freqk [20:16] Sasdly my ISP doesn't use anything else :S [20:16] hello [20:16] alright i'll go there but late night this channel is filthy [20:16] peace [20:16] dory|an: run winecfg and see if you can work it out [20:16] hi all [20:16] наши тут есть? не пиндосы [20:16] i ran winecfg [20:16] TsuruyaSan: is it USB?

[20:17] can anyone help, i try to run ubuntu on my laptop, but it isnt loading the x window right, im assuming because of my screen [20:17] I think it might be Ethernet, if that is different. [20:17] is anyone in here good with wine? i cant seem to get it to work right [20:17] slammed: What's the problem? [20:17] TsuruyaSan: if it is ethernet then that's good, you dont need any drivers for it [20:17] I remember using Wine the last time I tried. [20:17] help with "garena" application [20:17] plz [20:17] ali: I just can't figure out how to connect, though :S [20:18] anyone? [20:18] <TsuruyaSan> slammed: What's the problem? [20:18] that's it thank you for your kindness [20:18] soundray: solved it [20:18] TsuruyaSan: well, have you connected a network cable from the modem to your PC? [20:18] Toaster`: what was it? [20:18] choudesh: oh, so I gather most repos are down.. looking at those files [20:18] dory|an: found it? [20:18] i managed to find devices soundray [20:18] live cd says not is fstab [20:18] or mtab [20:19] ye [20:19] soundray: /etc/network/interfaces was correct, other then I had a tab character instead of spaces for one of the lines [20:19] Hello? slammed87d21, are you there? [20:19] I tried searching for software that could record your webcams video.. anything out there? [20:19] slammed87d2 : what help do u need with wine. [20:19] I have apache2 installed and http://localhost/~ works fine, but I can't get PHP to run (the package is installed) ... anyone know why this might be? [20:19] Toaster`: wow, that's worth a bug report. It should treat any whitespace the same [20:19] xhuangzi : what package are you running. [20:19] soundray: yeah, seems foolish [20:19] my live cd version of ubuntu is not loading the x window right, im assuming because of my lapto please tell me what i could do? [20:20] viat0r: you have to do something like 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /mnt' [20:20] azhar27, php5 [20:20] but i need to resart i think [20:20] im connected to to a router, and i cant see other machines that run windows... any suggestions? [20:20] tympaniplayer: have you tried Safe Graphics mode? [20:20] xhuangzi : Have u installed it before or was this your first time. [20:20] Anyways, does anyone know how to set it up so it connects under my modem? [20:20] yes it works that way, but i was wondering if i could run it without safe graphics mode [20:20] upgraded to hardy. now in FF o cant change skins. in addons it just says default and tehre arent any other suggestions or link to ff correct webbpage? how to do?. i tried ff help and google but someway im lost. anybody can tell me something? :/ [20:20] how to change gconf settings per terminal? === RandomCake_ is now known as RandomCake [20:21] 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /mnt WORKED [20:21] -__0 [20:21] TsuruyaSan: DHCP should work by default [20:21] Any software that can save video from your webcam? [20:21] ali: What's that? [20:21] but it says no medium found [20:21] tympaniplayer: when you install Ubuntu to the hard disk in Safe Graphics mode, you can add on the appropriate graphics driver and it will probably work. [20:21] TsuruyaSan: automatic network configuration [20:21] im connected to a router, and i cant see other machines that run windows... any suggestions? [20:21] i want to get files froma wondwos install cd [20:21] soundray: how would i go about doing that? [20:21] Uh... Then why wouldn't it connect?

[20:22] TsuruyaSan: i don't know. need more information :) [20:22] tympaniplayer: the install procedure is the same as when you have normal graphics (rather than safe) [20:22] ok [20:22] thank you for your help [20:22] TsuruyaSan: perhaps you need to register your MAC before you can use the modem. [20:23] MAC? [20:23] tympaniplayer: when you reboot to the HD installation, it will start a config tool called displayconfig-gtk. If it doesn't, you can start it with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [20:23] TsuruyaSan: yes, the MAc address is the unique ID of your network card [20:23] TsuruyaSan: some ISPs require you do visit a special internal webpage yo register your MAC before they let you onto the internet [20:24] *sigh* [20:24] haloooooo [20:24] i made a pendrive persistant if i wanted to update that to the latest kernel and drivers is there a way to mount it so it can actually update the stuff? [20:24] TsuruyaSan: the windows software will do it automatically, but under linux normally you can do it manually [20:24] TsuruyaSan: also it could be something else. what ISP is it? [20:24] Ugh... Alaint. [20:25] TsuruyaSan: hang on you said ADSL... this is normally a cable thing so that's probably not it [20:25] Hi folks, I try to disable the "tab completion" of when I type i.e "/" and then press tab, that it displays the filesystem's content, but can't find the option, environment, whatever to disable it in .bash_profile....

[20:36] Is there an easy way for copy a directory on one computer running Hardy to another when both are connected via ethernet and I am too uneducated to make NFS fork?

[20:36] nah [20:36] flare: in order to install ubuntu on my laptop, it has to partition the main harddrive for me [20:36] it seems like everytime I edit my xorg it just resets [20:36] ... Dayumm [20:36] TsuruyaSan: in any case, you need to go into linux and configure your network cards the same as they are in windows, and that should make it work... if it is ethernet [20:36] I was trying to get some mouse drivers to work [20:36] Divo, is geforce nvidia? [20:37] yeah [20:37] it was a pain to install initially [20:37] That should be straightforward [20:37] tympaniplayer: Not entirely, it can be installed on another hard drive other than the main one [20:37] and I figured it out... but the resolution will just sit at 800x600 [20:37] and the xserver won't boot properly. [20:37] Divo, use the nvidia software to change it [20:37] flare: i only have the main hard drive, and the system recovery hard drive [20:37] haha I know [20:37] I've tried [20:38] Does anyone in hear know where the default log file for bind9 resides, so i can see dns queries? [20:38] Divo, I think everything is handled by nvidia [20:38] but the Xserver isn't like... enabled [20:38] and I've tried [20:38] Divo, if you are sure the graphic card is being recognized then install nvidia-settings from synaptic and change resolution from there [20:38] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-"xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " [20:38] tympaniplayer: Then the installer should install it to where it has both vista and Ubuntu and just move Vista over on the hard drive [20:38] yeah, I've installed everything from synaptic [20:38] like... everything :P [20:38] Divo, maybe you installed too much...

[20:50] I know [20:50] haha [20:50] I got it [20:50] selam [20:51] Divo, so do : cd /etc/X11/ ; mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_useless [20:51] turk varmı [20:51] Divo, then reboot [20:51] I was denied :P [20:51] roe_: do you know whether there is a way to investigate whether my vps does support hardware virtualization? [20:51] lusepuster: are you sure? [20:51] apostle; i missed nearly all your issues.. you could add modules to run on boot in /etc/modules [20:51] Divo, sudo ... [20:51] permission denied [20:51] I used sudo [20:51] hi! could someone help me to set up my webcam as a microphone for Gnome? it works fine under Skype, but I can't record sound with istanbul. [20:52] sudo cd /etc/X11/ ; mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_useless [20:52] fredreichbier, ask them? [20:52] no DIFH-iceroot [20:52] no Divo [20:52] lusepuster: $ ldd `which rhythmbox`|grep musicbrainz => libmusicbrainz.so.4 => /usr/lib/libmusicbrainz.so.4 (0x00007fc8264f2000) [20:52] no zelrikriando [20:52] roe_: oh right :) no other possibilities? [20:52] :-) [20:52] do sudo cd /etc/X11/ ; sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_useless [20:52] Divo; you need sudo on the 2nd command not the first [20:52] fredreichbier, perhaps, I'm not sure [20:52] anyone who can help me set up mic recording with oss and not get comments like "get another card that supports alsa"? >> [20:52] hi people :) [20:52] kk thanks [20:52] !hi [20:52] lusepuster: do you mean, instead, that musicbrainz lacks mp3 support? [20:52] Divo, forget about the first sudo [20:52] oh I see [20:52] turk yokmu yaw içinizde [20:52] ok, but what do i put in the module? [20:53] so... it was pointless when you could've just "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg.conf_useless [20:53] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:53] lol [20:53] Divo, step by step :p [20:53] Divo: cp, not mv :P [20:53] Does ubuntu Support HPFS? [20:53] * spicemint wonders if anyone here has a kodicom 4400R? [20:53] Divo; that would have moved xorg.conf out of the X11 directory and put in the current directory. [20:53] roe_: ok, thanks anyway :) [20:53] crimsun, Huh, no... I might just not be able to find any musicbrainz tagging functionality...? [20:53] RequinB4, dont tell him wrong things [20:54] hi, I asked a question a little while ago, I'm not sure what the process is here, do I just wait to see if someone answers it? [20:54] Divo, dont listen to RequinB4 [20:54] zelrikriando; you don't want to mv the file.. make a copy then edit the original. [20:54] zelrikriado: yep, my bad O.o, sorry Divo [20:54] bastid_raZor, no [20:54] zelrikriando; oh, back ups are bad. right o [20:55] bastid_raZor, the xorg.conf is useless, he doesnt want to have conflics so he should move it [20:55] like... I could just throw my xorg down a dark alley and I'd be better off. [20:55] bastid_raZor: I thought he was trying to do that [20:55] bastid_raZor: Wrong they are acvturally recommende fro people who lkive in areas of the wotrld that are remote and power outage prone. [20:55] Divo; regardless of moving or copying.. have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver? [20:56] bastid_raZor, it seems that he messed up his xorg.conf already anyway...so better move it out of the way [20:56] Divo, are you really ready for a world without xorg :| j/k [20:57] bastid [20:57] can someone PM me? I would really like to figure this out. [20:57] it just told me xserver wasn't installed [20:57] after I've installed it about 12 times -_- [20:57] Ive ust installed the new ubuntu, but i dont have any sound... Its an intel machine which came with visa. in lspci this is listed: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [20:57] anybody has a video capture card pci? [20:58] RandyLNX_, go to menu > sys > pref > sounds -- and test the different options specifically ALSA [20:58] Shujah: ive tried that :\ [20:58] Divo, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is what bastid_raZor meant I guess === DreamThi1f is now known as DreamThief [20:59] that command's unlikely to do anything constructive [20:59] Can anybody tell me how to disable bash tab completion all together? [20:59] with the -phigh [20:59] RandyLNX_: run the alsa-info.sh script and tell me the url, please. [20:59] RandyLNX_, try this page then its for pulseaudio but quite thorough > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [20:59] even with the -phigh [20:59] zelrikiando, Thanks. I've done it before... but I'll try it again [21:00] unop, ? [21:00] SwissPhoenix, edit your ~/.bashrc file and comment the 3 lines around the one that says . /etc/bash_completion [21:00] i want to start learning php, mysql, java, server side programming, how to set up different servers, just stuff along those lines. is there any certain nix distro that would be better than another to use? [21:00] I'm afraid my system just froze so I was unable to see if anyone has answered my wireless question, has anybody helped me? It would be appreciated! =D [21:01] zelrikiando, at the end... it just says configuring xserver-org then it talks about different keyboard models >.< [21:01] zelrikriando, xorg is moving away from the xorg.conf configuration files, with the version of xorg on hardy dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does not generate a full xorg.conf based on your video hardware [21:01] dmb__: maybe debian? [21:01] hi! could someone help me to set up my webcam as a microphone for Gnome? it works fine under Skype, but I can't record sound with istanbul. [21:01] unop, this much I know, that s why I asked him to remove his xorg.conf as he messed it up... [21:02] unop: the user in question has an empty .bashrc [21:02] so debian would be good to use? [21:02] isnt ubuntu based on debian? [21:02] yes dmb__ [21:02] dmb__: Yes [21:02] anyone who can help me set up mic recording with oss and not get comments like "get another card that supports alsa"? >> [21:02] so would it be good to use the server or desktop version of ubuntu? [21:03] Divo, so are you still there? [21:03] yeha [21:03] SwissPhoenix, if .bashrc is empty .. then i guess /etc/bash.bashrc is used -- and that would contain this line -- but rather than edit /etc/bash.bashrc, it might be simpler to create a ~/.bashrc [21:03] hey everyone. I just got ubuntu and my friend was telling me about an app that let you have a cube with multiple desktops as faces. does anyone know what app that is? [21:03] dmb__: If you're working with servers, the server, so you can know how it is :) [21:03] Divo, did you try moving your xorg.conf and rebooting? [21:03] !compiz | smguy === morrison is now known as eivar [21:03] yeah, I'll try it again >.< [21:03] compiz? [21:04] Divo, try what again? [21:04] ubottu must be lagging... [21:04] I've moved the xorg [21:04] I'm gonna reboot [21:04] Divo, ok [21:04] ctrl+alt+backspace? or like reboot, reboot? [21:04] Divo, the former does [21:04] How do I rotate my screen? [21:05] brb, guys [21:05] smguy: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [21:05] RequinB4: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:05] unop, did I say something stupid? :) [21:05] unop: well, I do have a ~/.bashrc, which is empty, but the "3 lines" are not even enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc.... [21:05] thank you [21:05] askand: you can use xrandr [21:05] unop, please tell me if I am telling him crap :) [21:05] askand: pick it up, turn it 90 degrees one way or the other, and put it back down. or use xrandr, which would be easier [21:05] zelrikriando, no, you aren't [21:06] zelrikriando, why would you think i would be thinking that? [21:06] smguy, you need to install compizconfigsettingsmanager (i forgot what the exact package name is) and then go to system - prefs - advanced desktop effects settings === freqk is now known as freqk|away [21:06] unop, I am still noob and you seem to know more than I do...so that's why I ask [21:06] Daisuke-Laptop: Actually easier to turn it, got a laptop and xrandr wont work ;) X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) [21:07] hmm ok well i have a pretty old comp im going to learn on but for some reason ubuntu wont work on it, 7.10 or 8.04 but fedora 9 does anyone know what the difference is? [21:07] askand: pastebin the output of "xrandr --verbose" [21:07] smguy: you can enable it in System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual effects [21:07] !wontwork | dmb__ [21:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about wontwork [21:07] SwissPhoenix, how do you presume bash-completion is working? i think bash auto completes basic things like filenames and directories but not ubuntu specific things like apt-get, aptitude, etc [21:07] wow, i'm off today [21:08] dmb__: won't work is kind of vague, what exactly is wrong? [21:08] unop, sorry to say but you are mistaken [21:08] roe_, ok, i might be - but please do explain. [21:08] it will autocomplete any command in your $PATH [21:09] unop, type on the command line 'echo $PATH' [21:09] ..yeah sorry im a moron, i realized that right after i typed it haha...something graphical. 7.10 just shows a blank screen and 8.04 half of the monitor has an assortment of blues lines going down it while the other half is just black [21:09] roe_, that's what i said -- but it does not complete context sensitive things like apt-get inst [21:09] hmmm Divo isnt coming back [21:09] Odd-rationale: http://pastebin.com/m4f47f1a0 [21:09] I hope he is fine [21:10] askand: can you pastebin you xorg.conf file as well? [21:10] if you type apt-g it will auto complete, and you can add an extension to bash completion that will auto complete apt for you [21:10] the server version would prob also do that right? [21:10] i have me what seems like anti-aliasing issues - after a cold boot, sometimes they're not present, but then after about an hour, the lines kindof start to flicker. anyone have any ideas? [21:10] askand: btw, is this a tablet pc? [21:10] there is always apt-cache search to search for packages, but that probably isn't what you want [21:11] roe_, i won't disagree with you on that -- he's trying (i'm assuming) to stop bash from filling in context sensitive completions. [21:11] Odd-rationale: nope a regular laptop http://pastebin.com/m26c72521 [21:11] unop: I enter "/" and press TAB (twice), what I want is that it does nothing, but instead I see all possible files and directories.... [21:12] hi can anyone help me setting up a wpa_supplicant.conf file? i think i have done it correctly, can anyone have a look and see if they can spot any obvious errors i may have made? [21:12] askand: why do you want to rotate the screen on the laptop? just wondering... [21:12] hi, i'm using ubuntu studio and cannot connect to my windows shared folders on my windows box. what do i need to do to make this work? [21:12] did you try using mount -t cifs [21:13] megalosaurus, did you mean me? [21:13] yea [21:13] i'm in a problem ... i need to run a root privileged command at gnome startup. [21:13] Odd-rationale: :) thats a good question.. I write articles for a newspaper and their system is designed for rotated screens s I want to try and rotate my screen and use a external keyboard [21:13] unop, ah, gotcha, yes, I the the .bashrc whould be where to do that, why he would want to is lost on me though [21:13] Is there any way to do it? [21:13] megalosaurus, then no, havent tried it. i just installed this over gentoo cause i wanted to see how the ardour2 looks and works [21:13] SwissPhoenix, let me have a look [21:14] hi Divo [21:14] ok guys, I'm back >.< [21:14] uhm... [21:14] Divo, how is it going? [21:14] it's using the nvidia driver now [21:14] slew: You should be able to browse to you Windows box from within a nautilus window [21:14] but I'm still not able to open xserver [21:14] how do you change the vncviewing options remotely? [21:14] nor am I able to get out of 800x600 mode :P [21:15] askand: ok. but if i remember correctly, the ati drivers (fglrx) did not support rotation last time i checked. But you can try this: http://pastebin.com/m57a68dc7 and then restarting X. and then pastebin "xrandr --verbose" for me again.... [21:15] im ssh'ed into my desktop and want to connect to vnc [21:15] VikJES, i havent tried that, i just went to places / connect to .. [21:15] unop, could you help Divo ? [21:15] Hii guys :) Just thought i would pop in. Moved over from xp to Ubuntu today [21:15] good call, andy [21:15] :p [21:15] nice choice AndyB [21:15] AndyB: hope you are enjoying the experience! [21:15] crimsun: http://pastebin.ca/1091183 [21:15] titanix88, edit sudoers file for the program but google for it first if you dont know vi [21:16] RandyLNX_: sec, looking [21:16] unop: tnx! [21:16] okay, so I downloaded Compiz Fusion Icon and Desktop Effects from the Add/Remove applications, how do I get it to work? [21:16] AndyB, hows it going so far? [21:16] Divo, what do you mean by not able to open xserver? you mean you are on the command line? [21:16] Odd-Rationale: God im loving it. everything is a lot simpler then windows :P [21:16] crimsun: great [21:16] AndyB: good to hear :) [21:16] slew: Great :) Just trying to get apache to work now :) [21:17] I'm sorry [21:17] slew, open terminal and manually mount your drive...mount -t cifs //x.x.x.x/dir /local/dir user=user,password=pass [21:17] the xserver settings [21:17] for nvidia [21:17] Odd-rationale: thanks :) [21:17] smguy, it would be best if you install fusion-icon too it'll let you load reload compiz with a single click [21:17] Shujah: i know vim. But what's the point.... :/ [21:17] slew: click the icon that looks like a piece of paper with a pen on top of it (it's on the right of your user home dir) this will switch the location bar and then enter smb://windowsboxname [21:17] Divo, what does it say? [21:17] "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " [21:17] and I've done that [21:17] many times :P [21:17] why can i install kubuntu on my machine with no issues, but when trying to install ubuntu, it locks up after selecting "install" on the live cd boot menu [21:17] okay, I'll look for fusion-icon [21:17] megalosaurus, VikJES thanks! [21:17] how do i find out what sound card i have and what drivers i need in case i need to install it with a new kernel? [21:18] Divo: what did you do to restart the X server? simply logging out does not do it. [21:18] titanix88, sudoers file can only be edited by vi unless manually changed. [21:18] Divo, so you ve been running sudo nvideo-xconfig many tumes? [21:18] rebooted [21:18] Odd-rationale: http://pastebin.com/m3d3c2bca dont think it helped, but never mind :) thanks anyway, do you know if the free ati driver supports this? [21:18] megalosaurus, did you check the CD? [21:18] yup [21:18] slew: You're welcome [21:18] well, everytime I've needed to empty my xorg [21:18] it's pointless to do it over and over if nothing has changed [21:18] for uppgrading nvidia drivers is envyng-gtk safe to use? [21:18] but lemme try restarting the xserver again [21:19] brb [21:19] hmm... is it listed in the Add/Remove Applications screen? because I'm not seeing it [21:19] megalosaurus, as I've never used the graphical installer, nor installed kubuntu, I would suggest the "alternate installer" [21:19] * zelrikriando wonders about what Divo is doing [21:19] Could someone offer some advice please? If installed apache2, and it says its running. But if i try to hit localhost in FF i get a timeout [21:19] askand: ok. np. i believe the open-source drivers do support rotation (at least mine does). see here on how to use the open-source dirvers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [21:19] Hi, how is everyone? I just made the switch over from Vista and I'm having some problems with sound. [21:19] alternate installer is for lower powered machines right? [21:19] andyB: Sure you have it running? [21:20] Hey [21:20] andyB: Try $ apache2ctl stop and then $ apache2ctl start [21:20] as root [21:20] unop: okay, I hunted now for 2 hours.... you have to set disable-completion in .inputrc not .bash_profile.... well, it's written in the man file, but I missed that part.... gosh [21:20] debCarlos: it says its running.. and i have tried starting it again, it says its already running [21:20] is there a way i can make a bootable flash drive, but i can install programs on it and such just like normal? [21:20] RandyLNX_: in a Terminal, please copy and paste: amixer -c0 set 'Side' 80%,unmute,80%,unmute && amixer -c0 set 'LFE' 80%,unmute && amixer -c0 set 'Center' 80%,unmute && amixer -c0 set 'Surround' 80%,unmute,80%,unmute [21:21] megalosaurus, not really, it just doesn't waste time loading a gui when all you are doing is selecting options and typing in a box [21:21] it is faster [21:21] titanix88, edit etc/sudoers and add a line > ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/programname *security risk [21:21] still nothing >.< [21:21] o.O still nothing [21:21] andyB: Weird.... try disabling network for a moment and try again, i don't know why, but it works sometimes for me ^^ [21:21] Okay :) brb [21:21] i was actually teaching my wife how to install ubuntu so i didnt wanna get too advanced on her [21:21] Why is the gettext package completely broken on Hardy? Everytime I install it, it messes up the package manager. [21:22] but I did manage to find in /usr/share/applications an app called screens and graphics [21:22] Divo, hmmmm could you summarize what you ve been doing and the errors that you get? [21:22] and I was trying to use that... but still no dice. [21:22] SwissPhoenix, yea, i'd just got to that part of the manual -- there was a shopt option that i seem to remember that could modify completion features, can't find it anymore. [21:22] the_darkside_986: ...it doesn't seem completely broken here. [21:22] the_darkside_986: what errors do you get? (please pastebin) [21:22] ok hold on [21:23] crimsun: done. now what? [21:23] megalosaurus, you would be surprised at how similar they are one is just keyboard only [21:23] Anyone that knows a good way to solve the "proble" with load/unload cicles in a laptop? [21:23] im ssh'ed into my desktop and want to connect to vnc how do i turn it on remotely [21:23] *problem [21:23] cool...ill give that a try,,,thanks roe [21:23] how can i check for sure if DMA is working on my drives? [21:23] RandyLNX_: paplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav [21:23] and teaching her how to get around in a pre-installed environment to finish an installation is going to be generally harder [21:23] Gettext deb errors: http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpua9kk8 [21:24] Shujah: thnx. it's just a network restarting command. [21:24] zelrik, to put it simply, I downloaded all the nvidia drivers, and I'm still getting dropped into "low graphics-mode" I'm using a geforce 7 series card, and I'm trying to open the xserver config so I can actually adjust my resolution out of 600x800, and when I try to open the config I get "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X se [21:24] crimsun: nothing.. [21:24] Can anyone help me get the sound to work? I just switched from Vista. There's sound at the log in but after that there's nothing. [21:25] titanix88, ive used this command with ALL= NOPASSWD (for all users ) you might try for a single user since I myself have not tried that so I didnt mention it [21:25] Divo: Wai\ [21:25] Divo, can you make a list of what you ve downloaded? [21:25] Divo: Paste your xorg.conf in pastebin [21:25] !pastebin [21:25] Divo, it should be an history [21:25] 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) [21:25] greatdane what version of ubuntu are you using [21:25] hello all. i have a atheros based wifi card and when i download alot my computer locks up hard. [21:25] what the fuck [21:25] * reelonechris is away: auto-away [21:25] version 8.04 [21:25] i check my one box today [21:25] CodemasterMM: lets watch the language please. [21:25] and only port 111 is open [21:26] RandyLNX_: does it hang, or does it finish eventually and return to a prompt? [21:26] what in the world happened [21:26] Shujah: what should i write instead of ALL? [21:26] PriceChild: heh sorry, [21:26] just overly confused [21:26] CodemasterMM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:26] the_darkside_986: sudo dpkg --configure -a [21:26] carlos: I reset it with sudo nvidia-xconfig === CodemasterMM is now known as Codemaster [21:26] !away > reelonechris [21:26] reelonechris, please see my private message [21:26] the_darkside_986: after that finishes, what's the output from: dpkg --version ? [21:26] debCarlos, not sure xorg.conf is what he wants to look at now [21:26] Debian `dpkg' package management program version 1.14.16.6ubuntu1 (i386). [21:26] greatdane, go under system, preferences and then click on sound [21:26] titanix88, Titanix= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/program < assuming the user is Titanix [21:26] crimsun: finishes to prompt without any sound [21:27] k [21:27] Shujah: Allright. Thank you very much. :) [21:27] the_darkside_986: did `dpkg --configure -a' complete successfully? [21:27] Okay, something happened to my computer after I downloaded and opened Compiz Fusion Icon from Add/Remove Applications. I cannot move any of my windows or minimize them, and when I close them by clicking File > Close (the only way that they close), they stay int he task bar. Should I just reboot? [21:27] greatdane if you click on test do you hear anything [21:27] no [21:27] zelrikriando: Don't he says that he have problems with NVIDIA? Maybe it's there, anyway, it's a good idea that he pastes it :) [21:27] im ssh'ed into my desktop and want to connect to vnc how do i turn it on remotely [21:28] but yeah, i'm highly confused - my server was acting fine last night... i wake up this morning and the server doesn't respond to SSH and seems to only have port 111 open... [21:28] oops a mistake titanix88 sorry it appears the entry will be like > Titanix ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/program [21:28] sorry wrong chan [21:28] the_darkside_986: please pastebin that spew. [21:28] or is this a configuration issue with Compiz? [21:28] ok [21:28] debCarlos, he just moved his xorg.conf... [21:28] RandyLNX_: ok, sec [21:28] zelrikriando: uh? [21:28] ALL is for priviliges not users] [21:28] debCarlos, xorg doesnt really use xorg.conf anymore [21:28] zelrik - Jockey-common, linux-restricted-modules, nvidia glx - new, nvidia settings, xserver-xorg-video-nv [21:28] zelrikriando: oh... he's using 8.04? [21:28] zelrikriando, it does .. though it doesn't really need to have one [21:29] http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpcsvtrq [21:29] debCarlos, good question actually, Divo , which version of ubuntu are you using? [21:29] * Crell grumbles. [21:29] Heron [21:29] ok [21:30] debCarlos: I just tried reconnecting, nothing. So i removed apache, and reinstalled it. But still its not loading. Any ideas? Could it be something in the config files? [21:30] 8.04 [21:30] OK, I am trying to boot a computer from a Hardy Live CD. After I select "just boot without installing anything", I quickly get a busybox initramfs prompt. [21:30] It does not actually boot. [21:30] Why would that be so? [21:30] Divo I am not sure I can help you further [21:30] how do i configure udev hotplugging to configure my usb0 network device automatically? no udev events are generated when i plug it in, and i have to ifup/ifdown manually [21:30] heh, it's cool [21:30] adnyB: Maybe apache.conf ? [21:30] any one knows why my display is not detected , radeonhd driver with 3870X2 [21:30] I'm thinking a reinstall is in order. [21:31] debCarlos: apache2.conf looks ok [21:31] the_darkside_986: ah, I see. Your installed version of dpkg is strangely too old. [21:31] debCarlos: Found the problem. my httpd.conf is empty [21:31] Divo, might be a good idea...I was told that nvidia should be straightforward to install... [21:31] kk guys, I'll be back. lemme go run windows for a minute *shudder* [21:31] Ups. sorry, i don't know what else could it be... but try doing a $ w3m http://localhost [21:31] crimsun: gotta go for now. Thanks so far, and ill prolly be back :-) [21:31] RandyLNX_: ok [21:31] I'm off Sayonara [21:32] adnyB: Oh, ok [21:32] the_darkside_986: is the hardy-updates repository enabled? [21:32] AndrewB, apache2 doesn't really use httpd.conf [21:32] it is a fresh installation of Hardy [21:32] When I am trying to connect to a certain IP address with ssh, ping it, or nmap, it, I get an error from connect(). Is this because the IP address is an invalid range? ssh: connect to host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 22: Invalid argument or Strange error from connect (22):Invalid argument [21:32] unop: Oh ok thanks. Any idea what could be wrong. Its running, but no page loads when i go to localhost [21:32] centrex: yes. [21:32] AndyB: In Ubuntu (and debian) the configuration is made up of apache2.conf for serverwide configs, mods-enabled for module configs, and sites-enabled for virtualhost configs [21:33] the_darkside_986: right, so you need to enable the updates repository, update, and dist-upgrade. You're missing quite a few critical updates. [21:33] AndyB, do you get any errors at all when you navigate to http://localhost [21:33] fyrestrtr, thanks [21:33] ? [21:33] ok [21:33] how [21:33] flannel: Thanks [21:33] unop: Its just the FF timeout error [21:34] AndyB: type telnet 0 80 at the terminal [21:34] andyB: i have just thinked about it....check if you have something in /var/www/ maybe it's because you have nothing... still, i don't think it's probable [21:34] AndyB, is apache actually running? have you checked with netstat? [21:34] AndyB, if it is running. tail your apache error log file -- you might find something in there [21:34] then type GET / HTTP/1.1 and hit enter twice [21:34] the_darkside_986: click System> Administration> Software Sources> Updates> Ubuntu Updates> Important security updates, and Recommended updates; then click Close [21:34] anyone know of any games like World Of Warcraft for ubuntu? [21:34] the_darkside_986: then, answer yes to refresh the sources [21:35] !games > Swian [21:35] Swian, please see my private message [21:35] Ok, yes i have files in www, and it is running.. so ill go check the error log [21:35] andyB: Good idea... [21:35] anyone ever use tv time telivision viewer? [21:36] crimsun, I have those checked already [21:36] the_darkside_986: then you need to `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [21:36] AndyB: where did you put the files exactly? [21:36] which mysql package contains the headers for compiling against mysql? [21:37] anyone? [21:37] crimsun, ok i've done that, now what? [21:37] fyestrtr: I didnt add any files. but in my www folder is the index.html that comes with apache [21:37] hello all. i have a atheros based wifi card and when i download alot my computer locks up hard. i dont see anything relevant in the messages or syslog. this is very annoying....almost everynight i wake up to a computer that is locked up tight(i cant even use alt+sysrq to sync disks and shitdown) nothing responds...the caps lock is unresponsive....i have no idea what to try now..but i cannot let this go on. how can i get help with this?

[21:38] hi, i am having a problem getting ruby to update [21:38] it's stuck at 1.8.2 (useless) when all the docs say it should be showing 1.8.6 [21:38] the_darkside_986: you didn't run any updates, did you? [21:38] i thought i did [21:38] the_darkside_986: pastebin `apt-cache policy dpkg' [21:39] brb sorry [21:39] OK, I am trying to boot a computer from a Hardy Live CD. After I select "just boot without installing anything", I quickly get a busybox initramfs prompt. It does not actually boot. Why would that be so? [21:39] in fact the ruby-dev even shows as 1.8.6 but if you do "ruby -v" it still shows as 1.8.2 [21:39] so it's not actually updating anything [21:39] Does Hardy have an issue with SATA drives? [21:40] i even tried installing 1.9 but that was utterly useless [21:40] crimsun, http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpsf99et [21:40] Does anyone know about torrents? [21:40] Ie. how to search for them? [21:40] google [21:40] isohunt.com [21:40] piratebay.org [21:40] greatdane: Google, and maybe torrents.to [21:40] help me with lamp please [21:40] Illusioneer: what's the output from `apt-cache policy ruby1.8'? [21:41] well it says "Installed 1.8.6" [21:41] Houli: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [21:41] where does one ask python questions that are specific to ubuntu packaging? [21:41] sorry for the windows question, i ask only once: what do you think is better, ext2ifs from fs-driver.org or ext2fsd? [21:41] what's a good torrent client for ubuntu? [21:41] greatdane77: deluge [21:41] greatdane77: transmission is default... [21:41] crimsun: however the actual executable swears that it's only 1.8.2 [21:41] anirudh0: #ubuntu-motu, generally. We'll redirect you as necessary from there. [21:41] greatdane77: one is included. [21:41] Actually, it does the same if I try to use the CD integrity check... === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [21:42] where do i get them? how do i install? [21:42] Illusioneer: verify that `which ruby` is in fact pointing to the intended version of ruby. [21:42] greatdane77: You already have one installed [21:42] !torrent | greatdane77 [21:42] greatdane77: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [21:43] is there a way i could limit number of backgrounds per user? [21:43] per user account i mean [21:43] the_darkside_986: good, now `sudo dpkg --configure -a' [21:43] how to run NAT? which app do i need? [21:43] compengi: what do you mean backgrounds? [21:43] lunch: shorewall [21:43] fyrestrtr, number of allowed connections over the internet [21:43] crimsun, ok. also I get the same errors [21:44] crimsun: the actual binary in the /usr/local/bin is version 1.8.2 [21:44] compengi: you need to implement that as part of your firewall. [21:44] I need to change permissions on my media drive, but nautilus is fail. Is there a CLI command to do the job? [21:44] Illusioneer: you do know that /usr/local/bin takes precedence over /usr/bin and that Ubuntu packages do not use /usr/local/bin per Debian Policy, correct? [21:44] anyone know how to play Eternal-Lands on 8.04? [21:44] crimsun: here's the feedback from the apt-cache and version - http://pastebin.com/m48589f26 [21:44] youknowme: chmod [21:44] Illusioneer: i.e., who compiled and installed 1.8.2 into /usr/local ? [21:44] youknowme: change permissions on drive or folder? [21:45] I followed the linux instructions and it doesn't work [21:45] youknowme: what is the problem you are facing? You cannot write to the drive? [21:45] that was installed by the apt-get [21:45] i had removed ALL ruby packages before attempting to reinstall [21:45] fyrestrtr, that's firewall. nat too, u sure? [21:45] fyrestrtr, i don't know if you get what i mean. but for example, if a user shell account has a 1 eggdrop on, this means 1 background. and i want to set a limit to this user to only 2 or 3 background processes. is this done through firewall? [21:45] lunch: yes, NAT is a feature of a firewall [21:46] compengi: background process is not the same thing as connecting to the net. [21:46] Illusioneer: it's pretty clear that /no/ official Ubuntu package will create a /usr/local/bin/ruby* [21:46] fyrestrtr, i always thought NAT is a feature of router [21:46] Illusioneer: so I'm going to ask again :) - where did you get a non-official version that installed there? [21:46] crimsun: well this is a plain straight from the download install on a vmware, i haven't tweaked it in any way [21:46] this is plain kubuntu8 [21:46] fyrestrtr, then i think what i meant is background process [21:47] change permissons on the entire drive [21:47] crimsun: again, i went through and did a search on ANY package even mentioning ruby and removed it [21:47] lunch: its a feature of the software running on the router, which is acting like a firewall for your network. A router is actually just a box; its the software running on it that provides the features. In other words, the router is just hardware. [21:47] crimsun: if anything is in there, it is doing so without my knowledge [21:47] well, no response on ubuntu-motu..my pastebin is here http://pastebin.com/m7672065e [21:47] the_darkside_986: can you run `sudo dpkg -D3773 --configure -a', please? [21:48] this happens __only__ if a script is run via python
