My shared folders are easily accessed by the mac, but not the other way around [00:52] it us unchecked and does not let me update [00:52] Hi I would like evolution to display 24 hour time. How can I change my LOCALE settings to effect this? [00:52] Quick Question. What type (if any) firewall does Ubuntu have? Does that firewall control cookies in any way? [00:52] doofy`: still there? looks lke you've got a bad hard drive cable [00:52] I need an easy way to change the file extension on all files in a folder from .JPG to .jpg. Suggestions? [00:53] !firewall | stepanstas [00:53] stepanstas: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [00:53] i did install firestarter could that be a cause? it is not showing in my sysicon try though [00:53] stepanstas: no, FF will control the cookies [00:53] Gnea, yea. Alright ill go grab a new SATA cable and see if it is still there. thanks [00:53] Gnea, if not do you think it is my controller or my HDD? [00:53] Gnea, thanks [00:54] doofy`: could be, but a cable is always cheaper to replace :) [00:54] cruise: How did you setup the shared folder? Ubuntu should be able to mount everything with a wire [00:54] cruise: what steps did you take to access the folder [00:54] CTho the resize optins seems to have a greater then option resize x{%}{@}{!}{<}{>} [00:54] Gnea, yep, definitely going to try that first :) [00:54] xintron, I thin you can go to Terminal and use the rename command (i think mv) *.JPG *.jpg [00:55] stepanstas: I'll backup and try [00:55] amrik: try this: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2008-07/msg01154.html [00:55] No, acpi=off in options does not work - I end up with two mouse pointers and a lot of rastersizing on the screen.

[00:57] CTho np hope it works [00:57] gr1m: ah yes, known problem. you need to kill the localedefs command a few times before it will complete - reboot once it's done and login to sudo apt-get -f install [00:57] bobertdos: still no luck.. i guess i have every package related to samba [00:58] xintron, Hope it worked. Have a good day [00:58] gr1m: it's trying to generate locales for a kernel that's different than the one that's currently running. but it can't boot the system properly until everything else is installed.

I'm wondering how I can get it to do a full backup and not just backup changed/new files... [01:06] linkmaster03, normally we have to compil it in kernel but ubuntu use it as separate [01:06] RequinB4: I didn't get that [01:06] xintron: i use this: http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/520460/mvb.html [mv batch command line] [01:06] benje: in ubuntu i always compile things just with the normal configure make make install [01:07] Requin84, i've tried to acess the mac thru its ip from 'connect to server' [01:07] benje: that's what i did when i compiled alsa [01:07] Gnea, How do I kill it?

[01:11] xintron: rename -v 's/\.JPG$/\.jpg/' *.JPG [01:11] or ps -a | grep something. [01:11] usser, thanks, but I've heard that using a driver is possible to detect linux partitions. I need to turn a partition into "invisible" [01:12] grep is your friend.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:14] usser, so there is no way to make a hidden partition after all? The only way would be messing up with the hardware firmware, right? === Blade is now known as BladeRunr [01:14] i have a brand new laptop with the intel 5300 wifi chip in it. what do i need to do to get it working? [01:15] ubuntu_, that is correct, something like manually mapping half the disk as bad blocks [01:15] I keep getting data from old partitions reappearing in new partitions made in the same place, even when I delete the old partitions. Why is this and how can I fix it? [01:15] ubuntu_, thats just a guess [01:15] only with system monitor and terminal the bars on the top are all black this is a third install of xubuntu and it makes no difference openbox works perfectly for the bars on these progs. Here is a screenshot of the apps http://bayimg.com/hakpiaabc [01:15] sabayonlive-6049, the reformat doesnt actually delete the data [01:15] sabayonlive-6049: you could zero the partition with dd [01:15] usser: What if I actually delete the partition itself? [01:15] sabayonlive-6049, the only safe way to kill it is dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[partition name] [01:16] sabayonlive-6049: ie, zero the partition then format it and install a new os [01:16] dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda# [01:16] sabayonlive-6049, still doesnt matter [01:16] sabayonlive-6049: Creating a slightly different partition size will stop that too [01:16] usser, all right, thanks [01:16] SkinnYPup: sometimes [01:17] Thanks. I don't want to erase the entire disk, though. I just want to erase all partitions but /dev/sda1 [01:17] guys, I am on livecd, The hard drive dseems corrupt, during install it crashes. but filesystem seems to be on the hard drive now.

I assume it's just a setting somewhere [01:31] Dr_willis, lets u reinstall os with ease though, u know that tiny little modifications u make to all those configs [01:31] Musli, if using compiz, you MUST use the compiz/ccsm tool to set the # of desktopps. not the kde desktop tool [01:31] Loco_Cocoa:are u in the live cd now ? [01:31] usser, i recall ages ago big issues with /etc/ being different from on / Like how does one mount /etc/ when thers no /etc/fstab for the system to find in the first place... [01:31] ubuntu_, about the size of your total RAM if u want to hibernate [01:32] if you do a clean install, is it possible to say /dev/sdaX should be mounted as /etc ... and then no data is being written to that partition? [01:32] usser, i havent tried or needed to move /etc/ somewhere else in years.. :) so it may no longer be an issue. [01:32] jrib, ok, but if I make it large enough (lets say 5 gigs), could it create any problem, or is it better? [01:32] I got more virtual desktop when i was using Gnome [01:32] usser: this should take some time for that command to wipe everything right?

[01:33] Anyone?

[01:34] uh... yeah. I can. It'll be really hard in this situation. [01:35] i got some neoware thin clients.. i would like to make them into ubuntu thin clients... anyone have expertise in this realm?

[02:30] vick: best to just ask the channel your question [02:31] Hardy Heron 8.04, my terminal is now a blank white box, and all of my windows are missing the top title bar with the minimize/close/etc buttons [02:31] How do you install icon packs (.tar.gz)? I've tried installing it through "System>Preferences>Appearance" but it gives the error "Not a valid theme" [02:32] vick: Did you just start Compiz (desktop effects) by chance? [02:32] !compile [02:32] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [02:32] Reformer81: .tar.gz are compress files, you may need to extract them to get the theme files [02:32] Reformer81: look inside. Sometimes they aren't properly packaged, but come with a README. You need to extract them properly into ~/.icons manually if that's the case [02:32] Okay, so amarok says it can't play mp3's and i've tried multiple methods to fix the problem, all this is thoroughly explained here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=886323 [02:32] DozedOnLinux: I'm not installing themes.

[02:32] !compile>Reformer81 [02:32] Reformer81, please see my private message [02:32] jrib: Hmm... this is all the icon packs I've downloaded from gnome-look.org. They're all packaged wrong? :) [02:33] Reformer81: icon themes maybe ? > but it gives the error "Not a valid theme" [02:33] hal_v2: you never gave me the info I asked you to... [02:33] alraune: Uhm... why are you trying to show me how to compile? Do you even read questions or just every other word? lol [02:33] Nope, had compiz for a while, what changed so far is I tried to install/run Savage, it gave me a black screen, tried to log out to kill all programs, that didn't work, rebooted, it came back and couldn't detect video card, rebooted again and here i am [02:33] DozedOnLinux: Well, they're system icons [02:33] jrib What info?! [02:33] DozedOnLinux: i think they may come with the theme packages, the icons are packed with them [02:34] hal_v2: tried: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [02:34] oosp [02:34] Reformer81: i think they may come with the theme packages, the icons are packed with them [02:34] vick: Well try this: Press Alt-F2 and enter "metacity --replace" [02:34] alraune, lemme try [02:34] hal_v2: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of 'apt-cache policy libxine1-bin' [02:34] DozedOnLinux: Right... some themes come with them. But you can also download just icon packs separately. [02:34] that worked wonderfully [02:34] any idea what the problem was? [02:34] Reformer81: ok [02:34] Reformer81: link me to one? [02:34] vick: Your computer doesn't like Compiz :) [02:34] good to know [02:34] hi, when reinstalling ubuntu on same partition, what should my mount point be ? / ? or /home ? [02:34] jrib: One sec. [02:35] thanks a bunch, any ideas about the Savage black screen thing, or should i keep searching their forums? [02:35] Zaq_unkwn: / [02:35] vick: #compiz can probably help you to get it to work [02:35] this might sound stupid, but is it intended that I get a 'segmentation fault' any time is mistype a command in bash?

I don't KNOW where I need to save them. I want to have this icon pack available in the "Customize" dialog for the Appearance app. [02:36] ds[de]: try turning off command-not-found and see if it goes away [02:37] jrib: how can I turn this off? [02:37] ds[de]: uninstalling it is one way I guess. Otherwise look in the rc files bash reads [02:37] jrib: right, .bashrc would be a good start [02:37] alraune: And if I extract it to ~/.icons/, it will replace my existing icons. [02:38] guys im having a ton of trouble getting a tri-boot setup to work, I i have 3 drives in this machine 2 SATA, 1 IDE, Windows on first SATA, Ubuntu Hardy 64 on second SATA, and Ubuntu Feisty 32 from another machine on the IDE drive [02:38] Reformer:replace ? only when same names [02:39] maddog39: Feisty will be unsupported in a few months, you might think about upgrading that. What's your problem? [02:39] but when the system boots up, GRUB refuses to boot any of the items, giving partition not found for hardy, file not found for feisty, and some other error for windows [02:39] alraune: Right... the archive has an "Icons" folder. I also have a ~/.icons/Icons/ containing all the same filenames. [02:39] Reformer81: compare the proper icon sets in /usr/share/icons/ with what is in there. It isn't a proper package [02:39] hey wats the best pdf viewer... [02:39] dexter: the one you like the best [02:40] Reformer81: see, then unpack them to desktop first and manually rename them [02:40] alraune: Dude... there's like a hundred of them. [02:40] Flannel, i know that, its there for archival purposes mostly not in use, but im getting grub error 17 with something to the effect of paritition not found [02:40] maddog39: if you have a windows boot disk, boot it and run fixboot and fixmbr an that should clear grub, and at bare minimum, get you back to Windows [02:40] jrib; hmm...i havnt used any...used a pdf viewer..wsnt satisfied...like i read research papers..nd i need 2 edit them....so i need a better one [02:40] maddog39: On all of your options? or one? or what? [02:41] IndyGunFreak, im not a windows user, this is for someone else, i dont have a disk [02:41] how does one rename hundreds of files, eg. cutting the first letter ? [02:41] maddog39: ok. [02:41] dexter: ask for a pdf editor then, that's what you want it seems :) [02:41] i love ubuntu [02:41] maddog39: Ah ,you said that already. Which version are you booting to? (which GRUB?) [02:41] Flannel, all options fail to load for different reasons [02:41] jrib; yes...plzz tell me [02:41] alraune: with the 'rename' command. See 'man rename'. Ask if you are still not sure [02:41] alraune: Well, I still extracted them to ~/.icons/Icons/... they're all there, but I don't know how to set them as my system icons. [02:41] dexter: I don't know of one, that's why I told you to ask :) [02:42] My distribution updated froze at configuring locales, is there anything I can do to skip that and have it finish the process? I don't want to reboot and break the system [02:42] is there anyone here who's specifically good at troubleshooting an EEE PC? [02:42] jrib: sorry it took so long http://pastebin.com/m1b519744.

I don't think anyone is understanding what I'm saying... [02:43] ...or just not paying attention. [02:43] lol [02:43] :) [02:43] Can someone explain X11 forwarding? All of the tutorials on google are starting to confuse me. [02:43] Reformer81: okay then, try me :) [02:44] dmsuperman: 'dmesg' or 'dmesg | tail', not 'tail dmesg' [02:44] i've got a quick question im sure someone can help me with: regarding headless ubuntu server & samba -- I messed up the smb.conf (cat on keyboard + vi = disaster) and i did an apt-get remove samba, and then apt-get install samba, but i dont get a new smb.conf, what can i do to completely remove samba, and give it a fresh start? [02:44] jrib, right, I fixed that [02:44] How long will writing zerosto 380gb HDD space take? [02:44] jrib, noticed my mistake and the line after is tail | dmesg [02:44] dmsuperman: oh, I see :) stopped reading there [02:44] or at least give me a link to a tutorial that works. Every one I've tried says different things [02:45] jrib, ;P [02:45] adakos:sudo apt-get remove --purge samba && sudo apt-get install samba [02:45] bobertdos: I have a .tar.gz file full of system icons. I downloaded this file from gnome-look.org. I'm trying to set this as my icon theme. I can't use System > Preferences > Appearance because it says "not a valid theme." I've extracted the icon archive to ~/.icons/Icons/ but don't know where to go from here. [02:45] maddog39: Well, theres stage1 (which is in the MBR) and then stage2, which is in /boot. Anyway, you can hit 'e' at your grub menu and play around with the partition numbers [02:45] Reformer81: you want to replace your existing (possible default) icons with another set of your choosing. changing theme would be easiest way, but, then what is easy anymore ? [02:46] Reformer81: here is a proper icon theme for example: http://www.silvestre.com.ar/?p=125 [02:46] X11 forwarding just allows anyone SSHed into you box to type a GUI command and have it show on the remore box (ie If I SSHed to your box and at the command line typed: firefox firefox would open on my box FROM your box [02:46] Flannel, okay, the live cd just finished booting but ill reboot and mess with it, try and get it to boot [02:46] DozedOnLinux: That's exactly what I want to do. However, I don't have an entire theme to go with these icons. So when I click the "Customize" button in the theme selection window, there is an "Icons" tab that allows you to choose a different icon set. But I can't figure out how to get this new set listed there. [02:46] jrib, anything? [02:46] @ alraune - the only things in /etc/samba are dhcp.conf & gdbcommands [02:47] jrib: Hmm... yeah. Totally different format than ALL the icon sets on gnome-look.org. [02:47] Reformer81: that would require some time, i would go the router of using a renaming tool, then pick which ones i wanted, even then, just replacing the ones you like with the defualt ones, with the same name may work just the same [02:47] i wana install vmware on my ubuntu servver... except i cant find the commands for adding images and such anywhere, i can only find how to install it. has anyone seen any good tuts or guides? [02:47] VipOrX: in your example, does it matter whether you've got firefox installed on your box? [02:47] hal_v2: add the -security universe and multiverse repos [02:47] Reformer81: no, that page was from gnome-look: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dropline+NOU%21?content=53292 [02:47] ANY GUI command, firefox was an example [02:47] http://tinyurl.com/6lrrot Can someone help me with this problem? [02:48] what's the command to exit a man screen? [02:48] Reformer81: First of all, is the content of the archive the images themselves? [02:48] Reformer81: make sure they say GNOME Icon as type maybe? Not sure if that is actually adhered to though [02:48] Reformer81: see pm [02:48] Flannel, yup it was hd(0,0) not hd(2,0) [02:48] realto619: Q [02:48] How does that work with going from Mac to Ubuntu? [02:48] realto619: press q [02:48] I could open Safari or Finder? [02:48] thanks, zewm! [02:48] bobertdos: Yes.... only the images. [02:48] np [02:49] jrib, any dummy instructions for that. I'm in repositories, just don't see what you mean. [02:49] How come there is nothing in /proc/bus/usb? [02:49] if the SSH client on Mac supports X11 forwarding then its the same [02:49] jrib: Yeah... it does specifically say "GNOME Icon Theme." And I've tried probably 10 different sets from gnome-look... they're all organized the same. [02:49] hey guys [02:49] when connect to channel.sopcast.com/chlist.xml,it shows Connection reset by peer.what's mean? [02:49] :O [02:49] Reformer81: either way you do it, you will need to extract them somewhere. use a picture viewing application to see which ones you like , and delete the rest, that will eliminate the ones in which you have no interest [02:49] man ssh | grep X [02:49] DozedOnLinux: There are over 70 icons :) [02:50] jrib: that's for the tip, I found the problem [02:50] hal_v2: do this 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and add ' universe multiverse' to the end of line 56 (deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted). Save, then run 'sudo apt-get update' [02:50] jrib: *thanks :) [02:50] ^Alraune: no luck with those commands: /etc/samba contains dhcp.conf and dbgcommands [dont know if you saw the other msg] [02:50] Reformer81: and... ? time is of essence ? something like that is hard to avoid it [02:50] adakos:did [02:50] alraune: okay, i must be pretty boned then . [02:51] Reformer81: complain to the author. Or fix it yourself and send it to him/her: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/IconThemes [02:51] DozedOnLinux: It's not worth spending an hour just to change icons... I guess gnome-look should be pistol whipped for distributing broken files. [02:51] can you run ubuntu MID on an iPhone? [02:51] :) [02:51] jrib: I suppose I could do that. [02:51] Reformer81: just what i was getting to. [02:51] If so how do I install [02:51] VipOrX: so both of them use OpenSSH, I can't get it to work. I've tried ssh -X but it keeps saying failed to open display [02:52] Reformer81: besides, how do you know doing a manual job like that wont mess up the display ? icons can start being corrupted or dont display right, or many other things that can go wrong. [02:52] is the openssh server allowing X11 forwarding? [02:52] DozedOnLinux: Another reason I don't want to sit here doing that. [02:52] Reformer81: lol ok [02:53] that's what the -X is for, I think [02:53] adakos:nope, but never did it headless :http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html#id2544219 [02:53] Reformer81: Try extracting to .themes instead. [02:53] hello room. I was wondering if anyone knows how to recover files from a messed up partition? [02:53] but the sshd_confif has to allow it [02:53] alraune: yeah im just doing it through ssh [02:53] sshd_config sorry [02:53] My cylinders are spinning [02:53] !recover | chaos [02:53] chaos: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [02:54] oooooh.... On the mac(remote) or ubuntu(local)? Where's that at in a mac? [02:54] thanks [02:54] Good grief... so much work just to install a few icons lol [02:54] Reformer81: Those icons better be goddamned masterpieces [02:54] the sshd_config must have : X11Forwarding yes and the client must use -X on connect [02:54] chieffancypants: lol I know [02:54] hal_v2: did that work out ok? [02:55] @alruane thanks fot the help, im just going to reformat the server (it's only 3 hours old, 90% of that time was spent messing with the samba shares [02:55] chieffancypants: It's not that it's a HUGE deal... but come on... it should be simpler than this. But I guess it's the author's fault, not Ubuntu's. [02:55] is it safe to uninstall the package 'python' because the installation is corrupt? or will this bring even more trouble (I'm planning on reinstalling it of course) [02:55] ds[de]: python is pretty important [02:55] jrib: thought so too, that's why I'm unsure about this [02:55] how do i make a user without a password? [02:56] ds[de]: how do you know it is corrupt? [02:56] So for some reason I can't run virtualbox. It says that the kernel driver isn't installed. I tried running "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start" and it says "FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found." [02:56] ds[de]: probably a good idea to keep with packages made for Ubuntu [02:56] iratsu, what are you trying to do? [02:56] ds[de]: if you apt-get --purge remove python and then apt-get install python you will be ok [02:56] NCommander: delete a user's password [02:56] can I increase [02:56] NCommander: do he can only log in with an ssh key, for example [02:56] my ubuntu partition on windows? [02:56] NCommander: s/do/so [02:56] jrib: well my problem with getting 'segmentation faults' in bash was linked to 'command-not-found' which in turn called python [02:56] iratsu, use passwd -l *account*, then add the keys [02:57] jrib: checking out /usr/bin/python with a simple 'program' gave me the same segmentation fault again [02:57] someone please help [02:57] NCommander: thanks! [02:57] anyone ever used Kleensweep? [02:57] !ask | Meeso [02:57] Meeso: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:57] ds[de]: what do you mean by "checking out /usr/bin/python with a simple program'? [02:58] So for some reason I can't run virtualbox. It says that the kernel driver isn't installed. I tried running "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start" and it says "FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found."

[02:58] why in urxvt it shows correct color I change in bashrc but not in gnome-terminal? [02:58] Meeso: Yes, with PartitionMagic [02:58] jrib: I started /usr/bin/python and tried a simple printf command, it segfaults then [02:58] I used Wubi [02:58] Meeso: But I would suggest using the Ubuntu LiveCD to do it [02:58] crdlb: no it starts normally [02:58] speaking of Python, is there any difference between these two command s ? > ./application.py or python application.py [02:58] I used Wubu [02:58] *wubi [02:59] Meeso: I'm not familiar with that...did it not work? [02:59] ds[de]: 'printf'? what exactly did you run that triggered it? [02:59] ds[de]: there's no 'printf' command in python. Are you sure it's not just a TraceBack? [02:59] DozedOnLinux: the second one doesn't require the file to be executable [02:59] jrib: oops I got mixed up with perl :F [02:59] qr_: i just see it every now and then. thanks for the info [02:59] DozedOnLinux: the first one also requires #!/usr/bin/python or similar to be the first line of the file [02:59] hi, I newly installed xp on a 4GB normal .vdi setup [02:59] guess thats a nobody, this figures.

[03:08] qr_, so it will appear on a specific keystroke just like in quake [03:08] pen: ahh I see. So you source ~/.bashrc in gnome-terminal and it doesn't change colors? [03:08] I added to the mac and rebooted, yes. Do I need to add it to ubuntu as well? [03:08] qr_, yes [03:09] ds[de]: what does your /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apport/__init__.py look like? [03:09] so the OpenSSH server is running on OSX? [03:09] qr_, but I changed the color palette in profile, does that overrides the settings? [03:09] yes [03:09] and the client connecting to the SSH SERVER is ubuntu? [03:09] yes [03:09] pen: it might, is it changing to the wrong color or not changing color at all? [03:09] qr_, not changing [03:09] qr_, stays the same [03:10] im trying to setup openvpn in bridging mode but when i do openvpn --mktun --dev tap0 but nothng shows up in /dev [03:10] pen: that just determines the palate which is used [03:10] Miesco: i searched repos, found a few using Name and Desc , search term "hotplug" [03:10] jrib: um, lots of binary :) [03:10] btw, I uncheck "Use colors from system theme" is that disabled bash? [03:10] does [03:10] pen: hmm the color pallet might effect it. I'm not sure tbh. [03:10] has anyone here successfully compiled 32bit c/c++ apps on a 64bit kubuntu machine? [03:10] crdlb, hey [03:10] DozedOnLinux: WHAT? [03:10] ds[de]: that's not good. It's a 3 line text file here :) [03:10] DozedOnLinux: How come mine doesn't [03:11] Miesco: says > will soon allow hotplugging of input devices on the fly [03:11] jrib: oh dear :) [03:11] pen: you could try making a new profile in gnome-terminal with the default settings and see if it works with that [03:11] boonorp: paste your line in the server that allows X11 Forwarding [03:11] ardy, you ever try running an i386 vm w/ vbox? [03:11] qr_, aha, yea it does [03:11] X11Forwarding yes [03:11] ardy, and compiling it in there. [03:11] Miesco: might have different sources. not sure, i searched Name and Description. [03:11] ds[de]: had to force your computer off or have a power outage recently? [03:12] from /private/etc/sshd_config [03:12] qr_, but in default it uses rxvt color palette [03:12] jrib: now that you mention it, after going to suspend (accidentally) I had to shut him down the 'hard way' [03:12] qr_, and it applies the change I made in bashrc [03:12] ardy, there's surely a more elegant solution, but thats all i got [03:12] pen: then it sounds like you've found the problem [03:12] ds[de]: ran fsck? [03:12] DozedOnLinux: I need the hotplug scripts [03:12] mlLk: I've thought about it, but that defeats the purposes. I would like to compile 32bit and 64bit code without having to use a vm [03:12] jrib: no, sounds like a plan :) [03:12] qr_, do you know why? [03:13] ardy, gcc --help [03:13] ardy, or just /join ##c [03:13] mllk, ok [03:13] looks like apple's openssh server uses a diff declaration for X11 forwarding, read this: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/support/remote_ssh_tunneling_mac_xwindows.html [03:13] does ubuntu have support for a tap0 device by default? [03:13] ardy, i'm sure there some gcc options [03:13] pen: no not specifically. I mean, it's obviously related to the color pallet, but I can't say anything specific about what. [03:13] mlLk: Its more of a package name issue, there are some c header files that are missing that I need to get from a package, I don't know the package name though [03:14] mlLk: I know, I'm using gcc -m32 [03:14] jrib: think it might yield some information, even though the filesystem is mounted? [03:14] you have to manually install X11 forwarding in apple === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [03:14] ardy, do have the source files? [03:14] pen: so, if you change the color pallete scheme to Tango, the prompt goes to black? [03:14] mlLk: to gcc? [03:15] crdlb, let me try [03:15] ardy, you say you need the headers of a package that you don't know the name of? [03:15] ds[de]: I'd do 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and reboot [03:15] crdlb, I think I found the problem [03:15] mlLk: yeah, I need the following header file... [03:15] /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.3/include/stddef.h [03:15] jrib: it'll run /sbin/fsck.ext3 just because it finds a /forcefsck? [03:15] crdlb, gnome-terminal uses palette to change colors at once [03:16] crdlb, in bash it only changes the way it looks [03:16] crdlb, not color [03:16] mlLk: I have the source files of the code I'm trying to compile, stddef.h is a gcc header cstdlib header file [03:16] crdlb, so maybe gnome terminal stripes out the colors in PS1 [03:16] and applies the color palette [03:16] Where can I learn how to use screen? [03:17] pen: the palette just maps the 16 bash colors to whatever fancier colors you want (such as the Tango color scheme) [03:17] dmsuperman: google is your friend [03:17] !screen | dmsuperman [03:17] dmsuperman: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [03:17] or that. [03:17] jrib: well, thanks for your help so far, I'll reboot now .. ttyl (hopefully) :) [03:17] ok, I need some reporting software that tracks time I spend with clients [03:17] ds[de]: good luck [03:17] and then spits out invoices [03:17] crdlb, I see [03:17] crdlb, btw I like tango more appealing [03:18] crdlb, like it [03:18] hey everybody. i need help with GRUB. i have Hardy on one of my HDDs, i've installed UbuntuStudio on the other one, but didn't want to change GRUB, so now when GRUB loads, it doesn't have UbuntuStudio in the menu. I can mount the new HDD, but it's not in devices.map [03:18] crdlb, btw, do you know why in ls there are some folders highlighted? what does that mean? [03:19] ardy, so you're missing a pkg essentially/? [03:19] mlLk: correct [03:19] viporX: .... that's weird. xeyes opens on ubuntu but safari opens on the mac [03:19] Can anyone tell me what the logic behind /etc/alternatives/ is? Specifically, why would I have a link /usr/bin/foo pointing to /etc/alternatives/foo which is a link to /usr/bin/bar? [03:19] mlLK: or some set of packages that will allow me to cross-compile for x32 platform [03:20] so... I have to have the programs installed on both computers for it to work? [03:20] ardy, lib32gcc1 - GCC support library (32 bit Version) [03:21] don't have an answer for that one boonorp, sorry [03:21] well crap. [03:21] mlLk: Yeah, I have already installed that package, according to apt [03:21] let me look at something [03:21] Is it possible to use screen with GUI apps? [03:22] goto [03:22] please,please,please, could someone help me with GRUB? [03:22] dmsuperman: you can start gui apps from within screen if that's what you mean. They don't live in the screen in the sense that you can't log out and leave them running though. [03:22] do you know the entries for > root (hd?,?) , in grub you will need ? [03:22] qr_, is there any way to do that? [03:22] dmsuperman: you can do it with vnc [03:22] DozedOnLinux: nope [03:22] akusto: you new to linux/Ubuntu ? [03:23] qr_, Just with apps, and moreso I'd like to be able to leave them running even if I kill my current X session [03:23] DozedOnLinux: not quite, i've been using it for couple years, but i'm still a noob [03:23] dmsuperman: Came into the conversation late....will nohup work? [03:23] dmsuperman: um, you can't leave X apps running if you kill the controlling X server, that's just not possible. [03:23] chieffancypants, no idea, what is it? [03:23] dmsuperman: NM, if they are X apps [03:23] dmsuperman: you can run more than one X server though. If you kill one of them then programs controlled by the other will not be affected. [03:23] How can I resize an ntfs partition? [03:23] hi I have a Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12) [03:23] boonorp: try ssh -Y instead of ssh -X lets see what happens [03:24] akusto: just take a look at this, maybe it will give you an idea(in terminal)> cat /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:24] phantomcircuit: gparted [03:24] phantomcircuit: Qparted? [03:24] qr_, is there a way to have 2 instances of X running and run certain apps in the other instance? I'm basically looking for a way to keep my torrent and music apps running even if I have to kill my current X session [03:24] which is failing to detect using netboot [03:24] qr_, how can you run more than one x server? [03:24] dmsuperman: vnc [03:24] DozedOnLinux: yeah, i've looked at the menu.lst, and ran update-grub, the new UbuntuStudio partition still doesn't show up [03:24] dmsuperman: vnc creates you a virtual desktop which you can connect to remotely (or locally if you want) [03:24] which module do I need in initrd [03:24] ? [03:25] i tried Gparted but it's saying that it cant do it because it cant read the volume [03:25] qr_, can vnc do a single app or does it only work with an entire desktop [03:25] ardy, do you have cpp-x.x installed ? [03:25] akusto: also, there s a GUI based GRUB editor, that you may wish to look at (be careful with GRUB)> qgrubeditor [03:25] dmsuperman: if you just want to keep your music and torrents going, go with mpd and rtorrent in screen, they'll survive you killing X [03:25] "Unable to read the contents of this filesystem" [03:25] DozedOnLinux: cool, i'm gonna check it out [03:25] safari still opens on the mac. I just tried doing the same thing to another ubuntu box and it's saying x11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication [03:25] phantomcircuit: And you're sure it's an NTFS partition? [03:25] jrib, yeah, I meant using my current gui apps. I'm quite partial to songbird [03:25] dmsuperman: you need to run an X server. YOu can controll which window manager runs, so you don't have to start a full gnome session if you don't want to. [03:26] akusto: changes there can leave your system un-bootable. so use with care [03:26] DozedOnLinux: yeah, i hear ya :P [03:26] akusto: ok [03:26] chieffancypants, 100% [03:26] mlLK: yeah [03:26] mlLK: cpp-4.2 [03:26] it looks like it's mounted (i didnt do it manually) [03:26] qr_, would you suggest a super-light weight window manager for the purpose of running 1 or 2 apps? [03:26] maybe that's the problem? [03:26] I have a problem with my mouse always jumping to the same spot, each time I reboot its a different spot === kat is now known as Guest28098 [03:27] ardy, and you using the corresponding version of gcc? [03:27] dmsuperman: vnc defaults to using twm, which would suit your needs nicely. [03:27] mlLk: yes [03:27] I have a laptop and the mouse jumped whether I had plugged in mouse and no touchpad or just touchpad [03:27] akusto: my lil disclaimer, except not in tiny print that you cant read without a microscope :P [03:27] DozedOnLinux: another thing, the new partition doesn't even show up in devices.map. I can see like hd(0,0) hd(1,0), but no hd(2,0) or something - the 3rd drive with ubuntuStudioi [03:27] ardy, i'd ask ##c, i'm shot. :( [03:27] phantomcircuit: Are there any problems with the partition? Can you currently boot into windows on it? [03:27] DozedOnLinux: :)) [03:27] akusto: does it show up in qparted ? [03:27] i can boot into it fine [03:27] phantomcircuit: I'd also recommend running a scandisk in windows, just to make sure [03:27] mlLk: ok,. do I just type join ##c or is it on another server? [03:27] Reinstalled the graphics drivers, same thin even on the previous kernel in low graphics mode, mouse skips to a spot [03:27] chkdsk? [03:27] qr_, and which packages should I install for vnc to work? xvncserver and vncviewer ? [03:27] alright [03:28] DozedOnLinux: lemme see, i'm on LiveCD right now [03:28] ardy, /join ##c [03:28] phantomcircuit: Yep, otherwise I'm not sure...I haven't seen that before [03:28] jrib: fsck went through without complaints [03:28] dmsuperman: you need both a vncserver and a vncviewer. The server runs the desktop and then you use the viewer to connect to it. [03:28] akusto: partition editor may show it. there is a little drop down, that is not so obvious [03:28] DozedOnLinux: i've got Gparted and yeah, it shows up as /dev/sda1 [03:28] jrib: any logs that could be interesting besides those in /var/log/fsck ? [03:29] dmsuperman-> you may already have vino installed, check if it is [03:29] qr_, do you suggest xtightvncviewer or svncviewer ? [03:29] ds[de]: don't know then. I can give you the file if you want, but you won't know why it is like that or if there are more problems [03:29] DozedOnLinux: oh wait, no, it's /dev/sdc [03:29] dmsuperman: I use tightvnc, but I don't know what the differences are specifically. YMMV. [03:29] alright [03:29] ds[de]: not sure on the logs === beasty_ is now known as beasty [03:29] jrib: would be nice for a quick fix .. maybe other files are like this as well [03:29] DozedOnLinux: dangit, no it IS /dev/sda :))) [03:29] akusto: yeah i was just going to say sda sdb sdc and so on, [03:30] Is it possible to have 2 x sessions running at once? [03:30] i googled mouse skipping or jumping and didn't find anything relavant [03:30] DozedOnLinux: i have 2 partitions on it, swap and ext3 [03:30] boonorp: yes [03:30] ds[de]: http://paste.ubuntu.com/36710/ /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apport/__init__.py [03:30] DozedOnLinux: so i assumed that partition with ext3 would be like hd(2,0) [03:30] qr_ and be able to use them both simultaneously? [03:31] akusto: i think it matters if it was partitioned as primary or extended , so you may want to check [03:31] DozedOnLinux: it's primary [03:31] akusto: not sure i like the naming system, but, i suppose it works [03:31] boonorp: there are a few ways to accomplish that, yes. use startx to start another instance, or gdmflexiserver [03:31] boonorp: of course. Define simultaniously though. They can't be attached to the same physical display. [03:31] boonorp: I just read where Safari wont run in X11 Forwarding because it isnt a X11 app (MAC OSX OpenSSH specific) [03:31] Hi all [03:32] Lowkee: howdy [03:32] DozedOnLinux: i'm just trying to figure out what to put in menu.lst, cause the section with Studio is not there [03:32] viporX: well that solves that problem. [03:32] BOONORP: http://forums.macnn.com/90/mac-os-x/367321/leopard-remote-ssh-access/ [03:32] akusto: there is a way. i am sure of it, solong as it is a valid partition/install === kevin___ is now known as Kevin` [03:33] DozedOnLinux: cool, thanks, i'm gonna go ask father-Google :P [03:33] akusto: i dont play with partitions, so someone else may wish to assist with that. [03:33] ds[de]: I'm kind of stumped. crdlb (*poke*) was helping earlier, maybe he has an idea [03:34] Silly question? Do anyone know of a IRC chat that I can hide in my desktop .No window decorations, menus, etc [03:34] qr_, so I'm trying to run xtightvncviewer but when I put in localhost for the server it gives me an error about the security protocol in the server being higher than the client [03:34] dmsuperman: did you start the server? [03:34] vald0r: you can use the one in terminal [03:34] vald0r: irssi + a terminal with decorations disabled? [03:34] Ok, so let's try something slightly different then. What about something like VNC, except logging into a different user on the remote machine. Sort of like a pseudo VM? [03:34] irssi? any good? [03:34] qr_, I typed "vncserver" and it asked me for passwords so I assume so [03:34] Im new here, and have a problem with my screen, maybe a graphics card issue. [03:35] vald0r: i see users use it > irssi [03:35] qr_, it also said it had run what's in /etx/X11/XSession or something like that [03:35] Lowkee: What's the problem? [03:35] dmsuperman: hmm, my guess is you're trying to connect to the wrong display with vncviewer. Try running vncserver :2 (it's ok if there's an error here) and then vncviwer :2 [03:35] ok quick question look for a quick answer how do I have to configure minicom in any certain way to make phone call or can i just plug up the phone line, go to minicom type alt+a d and dial the number? [03:35] VNC would work yes [03:35] jrib: thanks a dozen, I see that more files are damaged in this way .. will try to find a solution [03:36] @chieffancypants, how do I pm? [03:36] dmsuperman: only spell vncviewer right when you do it [03:36] Lowkee: Depends on the program.... [03:36] ahh [03:36] Lowkee: /query nickname [03:37] ViporX: only without the VNC part. I basically want to have one user logged into the mac and log into a different user through ssh [03:37] qr_, unable to connect to host (111) [03:37] qr_, the server started though [03:37] qr_, strangely ps aux | grep vnc has no results for running processes [03:37] is that normal? [03:37] vald0r yea irssi is good [03:37] dmsuperman: no, it's not [03:38] Th3_KID: if its like the old one, i believe you can do that , > atdt [03:38]  Lowkee:or right-click user-nick from list>sent message [03:38] qr_, ah, looking in the log it says "fatal server error, couldn't find font "fixed" " [03:39] DozedOnLinux what do i have to do to get it up and running [03:39] dmsuperman: oh my. I don't know how to fix that.

I didn't even notice till I went to update kde and it wasn't installing the packages [06:06] pawalls, install rar and unrar [06:06] i am instaling ubuntu on an old presario 8772, it seems to not support large hard drives, the over 8GB size issue... is there a way i can fix this? i can't seem to find updated BIOS anywhere [06:06] unavailable: ok [06:06] pawalls, then from terminal: unrar or right click - extract from GUI [06:06] windowshasyou: i did just that (what i above noted) and it was bare ubuntu, everything i had installed was gone [06:06] alraune: i'm using twinview, but i have a widescreen monitor and a regular sized one [06:06] the main monitor is the normal sized one at 1280x800 [06:06] windowshasyou: until i booted back to my old kernel [06:07] the widescreen is 1440x900 [06:07] geev8: ok? howd it go? [06:07] unavailable: sorry what do you mean if it autofilled cos i used seach to find the package in synaptic package manager [06:07] Flynsarmy: if I understand the use of swap correctly. files are placed there for faster access [06:07] at the bottom of my main screen, there is extra space (that is not visible) under the taskbar [06:07] rand0m: there's another one called 'lingot'. you can install it the same way as above. [06:07] unavailable: ouch [06:08] IdleOne, isn't swap done on the hard drive rather than RAM? wouldn't that be slower? [06:08] geev8: what are you looking to install? [06:08] prince_jammys, awesome, thanks again mate [06:08] cheers [06:08] unavailable: on my side network was down now am back [06:08] geev8 i mean when you mark for installation it will seek out dependancies and auto install them [06:08] greetings ubunteros [06:08] Flynsarmy: well to a certain extent yeah it might be a little slower then putting them on ram but if everything gets sent to ram for faster access you would soon run out of ram [06:09] is it possible to install unbuntu on a large hdd (80gb) when the computer was only made for under 10gb drives? [06:09] ingeni0us: you mean a bios limitation on hd size? [06:09] i'm not sure whats causing the problem actually [06:09] unavailable: ok now am going to install it for anything i will let you know [06:09]  cypha:well, u can use xorg.conf to force that resultion, but I have no Idea what affect this has to 2 different outputs [06:10] hmm [06:11] ingeni0us:what a pc ? dos the bios detect the 80GB via autodetect ? [06:11] yeah it installed ubuntu fine, detected the 80gb [06:11] the real problem is i'm getting GRUB error 18 [06:11] ingeni0us: i guess that answers the question then?? [06:12] Is there much of a disadvantage to using a 64-bit ubuntu now that flash player works in FF64-bit? [06:12] i guess it was able to write [06:12] ingeni0us:what a pc ? so u have a grub error, reinstall it! [06:12] !grub [06:12] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [06:12] sorry i should have started with the grub error [06:12] i tried twice [06:12] Flynsarmy: unless you have 4 gig or more, using 64 bit is a disadvantage in itself [06:12] same error [06:12] well, it looks like everything is working well now [06:12] install, successful :D [06:13] unavailable, Yea, i have 4gigs which is why i was wondering. I rarely use even 1.5 though so i was just wondering if it was worth it [06:13] sylphir, you still around? [06:13] now I have no clue how to use this particular OS. Where is a good place where I can find an Ubuntu tutorial? [06:13] Flynsarmy: nope not at all in my opinion [06:14] Blackula: wiki.ubuntu.com [06:14] Blackula: http://help.ubuntu.com [06:14] ingeni0us: This can be circumvented by creating a boot partition at the beginning of the disk that is completely within the first 1023 cylinders of the harddrive. This partition will contain the kernel. [06:14] back... [06:14] Blackula: and you are in the live wiki always being edited as we speak wiki a.k.a #ubuntu :) [06:15] the live wiki? [06:15] ingeni0us: In more practical terms this means the BIOS is unable to start executing the kernel because the kernel is not located within the block it can access at boot up time. [06:15] Blackula: nm was a joke [06:15] that one went over my head :) [06:15] oh [06:15] nevermind, I think I got it [06:15] ah thx [06:15] any good audio output plugin for audacious [06:16] Blackula: any questions just ask and someone will try to help you . and poke around the OS see what it has to offer. try things. remember to have fun :) [06:16] How when parititoning would I make a seperate home partition? [06:16] Excuse me, can someone recommend a good C++ channel for a newb? [06:16] #c++ [06:16] is Ubuntu pretty straightfoward to use? [06:16] I'm coming from a Mac OSX and Windows background. [06:16] Blackula: this is unofficial but has some good info http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy [06:17] Blackula: why don't u just try it & see for urself [06:17] How can I check the color depth that X is using? [06:17] I just want to make sure that I don't mess anything up or accidentally delete something [06:17] ha ha [06:17] ingeni0us: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7051 [06:17] Blackula: you really can't mess up unless you acquire super user powers [06:18] ingeni0us: they fixed it [06:18] cool [06:18] ingeni0us: you can too [06:18] Blackula: fresh install if you do mess up that bad you can always re-install :) [06:18] thx [06:18] it should be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf i guess [06:18] exit [06:18] true [06:19] i suppose not all packages that show in update manager are imperative, right? [06:19] Blackula: IdleOne is right, installation doesn't take that long (the upgrades kinda do, tho) [06:19] bazhang: I think I am on the right track I see files I recognize being moved over hehe :) [06:20] well, I'm going to step away from this computer and go to my other computer that I installed Ubuntu on. Gonna get familar with it. [06:21] ingeni0us: lol @ WARNING: This option should only be used by people who know what they are doing."? Of coure, if knew what I was doing, I wouldn't be stuck [06:22] rand0m: that is right. the imperitive ones were all installed default [06:22] rand0m: oh oh wait. [06:23] hey cocoabean [06:23] hey [06:23] PM me please [06:23] #surabaya [06:23] i am [06:23] anyone here use mysql? [06:24] rand0m: I misread you. update manager shows you new versions of packages that are usualy there because the have security updates or functionality updates. no reason why you should not update those packages unless you absolutely need the current installed version of a package [06:24] how can I get Ubuntu to automatically open torrents with utorrent? [06:25] Well, all I think its time for a smoke and bed. [06:25] gaelfx: right click a file type click properties and set the default app iirc [06:25] how to install winamp through wine [06:25] IdleOne, it's just that it's only been maybe a week since my last update on this comp.. perhaps two weeks - and there's 198mb of updates to install [06:25] IdleOne: I can't find utorrent in the list [06:26] !wine [06:26] 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. [06:26] IdleOne, nice :) [06:26] rand0m: probably a kernel update or somesuch [06:26] pawan, why do you want to install winamp while using linux ? amarok or banshee will do you better than winamp [06:26] pawan: unless you really really really need winamp, it is usually a better idea to use native apps [06:27] gaelfx, you need wine for that, and not really worth the hassle. why not try transmission, ktorrent or the like? [06:27] pawan download the winamp setup file, then double click on it in nautilus. if you have wine installed, it will know what to do. [06:27] pawan, that being said, i recommend amarok and audacious as notable substitutes that are both better in many ways [06:27] pawan, see #winehq and appdb [06:27] can someone tell my why my Sound Preferences>Sounds tab is totally greyed out?? [06:27] bazhang: utorrent is windows only? [06:27] !appdb | pawan [06:27] pawan: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [06:27] IdleOne, think so yes [06:28] bazhang: utorrent uses way fewer resources than either of those, and besides, Transmission has never worked for me [06:28] ahh that explains why he does not see it in the list [06:28] yup :) [06:28] I have utorrent installed and working fine, the only thing I want to change is the default torrent program [06:28] !torrent [06:28] 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 [06:28] pawan, one more thing, the interface for winamp doesn't work well in wine [06:29] gaelfx, best to ask about wine stuff in #winehq [06:29] Hello [06:29] pawan: xmms used to be (maybe still is) a lot like winamp, but i haven't used it in years... [06:29] pawan: try 'audacious' from the repos [06:29] ok [06:29] gaelfx, rtorrent uses less resources than utorrent. maybe it is worth a shot. also can be controlled via ssh [06:29] leo_rockw, now is audacious; xmms is kaput. [06:30] Can I make a script that will allow me to detect when a cd is in a computer drive? [06:30] bazhang: I didn't know they had changed the name too. Thanks [06:30] !psp [06:30] nate__: gaelfx,: I found opera doing torrents well [06:30] For information on using the PlayStation Portable with Ubuntu, please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PSP [06:30] alraune, that wouold work too [06:30] where's tacplus, it's not in the repository? why did they take it off? [06:30] nate__: does it have the same functionality as utorrent? [06:30] Can I make a script that will allow me to detect when a cd is in a computer drive? [06:30] what's the package that has ifconfig and route among other things in it? [06:31] file /dev/hdc [06:31] qah: ubuntu should do that default [06:31] Here's a problem to access soundcard: 0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia [06:31] and read the output and do things [06:31] gaelfx, what functionality specifically? you can select and deselect individual files in a torrent, you can have it watch a directory and automatically download torrent files as they are put in there. [06:31] gaelfx: if similarity to uTorrent is the main deciding factor, you'd probably be happy with Deluge [06:31] IdleOne: It does but I want to make a script that will show a message saying that a cd is in the drive. [06:32] sinsun: I have and nVidia HDA chip as well, it works, but sometimes not very well [06:32] gaelfx: I'm partial to Transmission too... :) [06:32] i had an nvidia hda working fine [06:32] you need that alsa.conf fix [06:32] qah: I have no idea how to do that sorry [06:32] gaelfx: the proc tells it works but I cannot hear any sound, even playing cd [06:32] oh [06:32] nate__: ok, I'll look into it, but as I said, I like utorrent because it is very resource light, even with wine [06:33] sinsun: what does it say in System->Preferences->Sound ? [06:33] gaelfx: if you are looking for resource light you can go to console apps, maybe rtorrent? [06:34] charles_: transmission never downloads anything, it always only says the tracker is not responding [06:34] leo_rockw: yeah, it's been suggested already, thanks [06:34] qah, you could use ivman and notify-send [06:34] !info inetutils-tools | Tatsh [06:34] tatsh: inetutils-tools (source: inetutils): Base networking utilities (experimental package).

[06:50] De[X]tone, yes, and it does so by default [06:51] but i have lil bit problems, when i wanna install or update gcc... [06:51] isn't that a part of build-essential?

[06:56] hey All [06:56] se1: lsb_release -a [06:56] ok im running ubuntu 5.04 [06:56] rockstaraholic: 5.04 or 8.04? [06:56] 5 [06:56] haha [06:56] rockstaraholic: oh dear [06:56] rockstaraholic: it would be a great idea to update [06:56] yaris123456789: http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html [06:56] i have had this disk sitting in my room for a long while now [06:56] !eol [06:56] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop.

Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [06:57] rockstaraholic: You'd have to upgrade from 5.04 to 5.10 to 6.06 then to 8.04, [06:57] well before anything i'd like to acquaint myself [06:57] rockstaraholic: lol, especially going, what? 6 distros up??? :p [06:57] i don't even know how to upgrade [06:57] My update manager just goes grey and does nothing. What do i do? thanks [06:57] rockstaraholic: Don't bother. 8.04 is ... a lot different than 5.04 [06:57] rockstaraholic, install first then acquaint [06:57] rockstaraholic: Even in upgrading, etc. [06:58] rockstaraholic: totally different world three years later [06:58] dumbdum: run it from terminal and see if you get an error [06:58] does 8.04 come with synaptic? [06:58] rockstaraholic: Yeah [06:58] yead [06:58] dumbdum: gtksu synaptic i believe is the command [06:58] rockstaraholic: and it'll work too! [06:58] ok. well i mean i don't want to be lazy tho. haha [06:58] rockstaraholic look at the bright side. if you like 5.04, imagine how great 8.04 will be [06:58] what command do I use? [06:58] That would be six up, wouldn't it, Flannel?? [06:58] dumbdum: or gtksudo (idk, I don't use gnome) [06:58] bobertdos: Three years, six releases, yep. [06:58] Thanks your too quick! [06:59] dumbdum: haha, no problem [06:59] i know this is stupid and i should have done my research first but how do i install apps like flash or java [06:59] rockstaraholic: Reading the wiki entries is the best place to start. [06:59] rockstaraholic, via synaptic [06:59] rockstaraholic: theyre both just packages in the repos. [06:59] apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:59] !flash > rockstaraholic [06:59] !flash > leo_rockw [06:59] leo_rockw, please see my private message [06:59] o. ok.. so what your saying is its quite easier to just download and install 8.04 [07:00] yeah [07:00] i don't know if my system can run it though [07:00] Command not found, i tried all three. [07:00] !java > rockerstaraholic [07:00] rockstaraholic: But, the wikis won't cover the methods for Hoary, and the repos for Hoary have been offline for over two years now anyway [07:00] rockstaraholic: You could try xubuntu if ubuntu is too heavy [07:00] 2nd that [07:00] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [07:00] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [07:00] .... how do I fix the above? [07:00] what is the difference between the two? [07:00] dumbdum: gtksudo synaptic (that's just one command) [07:00] se1: close any other package managers you have open (including update-manager) [07:00] se1, close add/remove or synaptic [07:00] rockstaraholic: Ubuntu uses gnome, Xubuntu uses XFCE. [07:00] or you could just take off everything and just run x + fluxbox [07:01] sel stop using 2 package managers. [07:01] since i'm running an atheros wireless network card will it still work? [07:01] rockstaraholic: xfce is designed for lower end systems because it isn't as resource-demanding. [07:01] rockstaraholic: Yeah, the linux underneath will all be the same. [07:01] Every time I open Gxine I'm encountering issues with choppy playback, what could be causing this? [07:01] thanks Flannel :) [07:01] ok and visually any difference? [07:01] rockstaraholic, best answered via the livecd of hardy with ethernet attached [07:01] rockstaraholic, yeah a bit [07:01] rockstaraholic: Yeah, they're different. Not drastically though. [07:02] cleaned up a little [07:02] rockstaraholic: What are the stats on your system? [07:02] Bandylegs, disable compiz and try again [07:02] how do i find out in this :/ [07:02] it is a problem for me? [07:02] rockstaraholic: You don't know how much RAM/what processor you have? [07:02] free -m [07:02] nope this is my buddies old cpu [07:03] dumbdum: what happened with gtksudo synaptic ? [07:03] gksudo leo_rockw [07:03] gtksudo synaptic, command not found. [07:03] rockstaraholic, free -m will give you ram [07:03] rockstaraholic: System->Administration->System Monitor->System will tell you the basics. [07:03] rockstaraholic cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:03] bazhang: thanks, I couldn't remember if it was gtksudo or gksudo... [07:03] np [07:03] dumbdum: sorry, gksudo synaptic [07:04] bobertdos: Hoary didn't have a System monitor by default [07:04] hey can i install ubuntu on a sony vaio tx ? its a tiny 1.2 ghz 1 gb ram you think its ok if i installed ubuntu on it ? will it be compatible with display sound etc drivers in the hardware of the vaio ?? [07:04] Flannel: doh, I forgot about that [07:04] Vegombrei, no problem [07:05] Vegombrei: My old pc had 512 mb ram and 1 ghz and ubuntu worked excellent :D [07:05] Flannel: I just have a hard time picturing anyone using Hoary nowadays. [07:05] gi [07:05] fs [07:05] hiiiiiiiiii [07:05] ok so synaptci will not work in this os version? [07:06] rockstaraholic, really not worth the effort; that is no longer supported. [07:06] Flannel: I have been using Ubuntu since Breezy, but I can't imagine going all the way back there now. [07:06] i download the package to the desktop, I dont know what to do to install [07:06] droopsta915, what package [07:06] Yes that opens the package manager, but i could do that anyway. Update manager doesnt work thoug! [07:06] bobertdos: Yeah, we fired up Hoary at our bug jam over the weekend. Lots of fun. Although, this is getting offtopic :) [07:06] alright so i'll try xubuntu but will i be brought back to the same chat channel in x-chat? [07:06] droopsta915: dpkg -i package as root [07:06] droopsta915: if it is a deb sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb [07:06] its a bin file [07:06] Flannel: I know, I'll shut up. [07:07] rockstaraholic, you can find it with any client [07:07] rockstaraholic: Actually, xchat isn't installed by default anymore, pidgin is. And xchat will be available from the repos (you'll want to install "xchat" not "xchat-gnome") [07:07] how do you turn off system beep from the consol? [07:07] dumbdum: try upgrading and see the error you get [07:07] its a bin file [07:07] #ubuntu on freenode.net [07:07] dumbdum: the terminal will spit out any error that's stoping synaptic from working [07:07] bobertdos: I was scolding myself more than you, heh [07:07] Johnny rmmod pcspkr [07:07] holas [07:07] droopsta915, what package [07:07] what about disc burning software. to burn image files? [07:07] The problem is with "System, Administrator, Update manager" [07:07] how to install audio codecs [07:08] droopsta915: chmod +x file.bin and then ./file.bin [07:08] i dont want to remove pcspkr [07:08] rockstaraholic: k3b [07:08] ubuntu-restricted-extras pawan [07:08] i want to turn off system beep when i tab [07:08] my audacious hang after playing some length of song [07:08] gaelfx - Installed cheese but at end of recording does not react properly - then loose all control buttons - have to force shutdown. Any ideas? [07:08] Johnny, it will come back when you reboot. you're just temporarily removing the module [07:08] rockstaraholic: download the iso, right click "burn". I.. beleive that was still around in Hoary [07:09] any good audio output plugins [07:09] i tryed the chmod, but it says no such file or directory [07:09] Synaptic is working fine, its the update manager that doesnt. [07:09] is that what i'm running [07:09] rockstaraholic: I'll agree with Flannel on that...........I'm.......pretty sure too >.< [07:09] rockstaraholic: You're running Hoary Hedgehog if youre running 5.04 [07:09] droopsta915: Sure you're writing ok the file?? You can do something like sh file.bin too [07:09] Hmm .. he seems to have gone - sbdy else wanna try fixing a Cheese-vidcapture application?? [07:09] rockstaraholic, were you asking what software in Ubuntu will burn image files? [07:10] Hi I am getting these errors while I am getting these errors while I am tying to install any thing in my ubuntu [07:10] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.

I have the screensaver and powermanagement in KDE turned off. I tried xset s off. but that didn't work. any help? [07:12] unop: Ok... didn't think about that :( [07:12] droopsta915, so, what's not allowing you to set those permissions and run the file? [07:12] zver: 8.3 [07:13] it tells me, no such file or directory [07:13] Flannel: ok, thank you [07:13] zver: install "postgresql" and you'll have it [07:13] droopsta915, where did you save/put the file? [07:13] has anyone gotten the new IBM t400 laptop yet?

[07:14] lol nucking futs [07:14] Guest26316, please mind the language [07:14] I should have thought about it before making it my primary OS [07:14] what is file-roler [07:15] Hello. I want to scp a xorg.conf from my pc to several remote ones. The problem, though, is that Ubuntu has no root user so I gotta do it in several steps. can i ease the process or do i need to enable the root user? [07:15] *file-roller [07:15] debCarlos: Same output. [07:15] but i really liked the idea of having beryl and now find out I cant get it [07:15] logixoul sudo gnome-terminal [07:15] when I start open office 3 beta 2 scim can't start [07:15] i have been fighting wireless networking for a few nights, just got a nice new card and rolled to ubuntu 8 [07:15] nate__: eh? [07:15] nate__, not a good idea that [07:15] beryl is obsolete [07:15] sorry [07:15] cherrry: Wow.... that's weird... maybe you have a broken package? [07:15] good morning [07:15] well, non-existant [07:16] hi [07:16] I wanted the cool cubey thingy [07:16] Hello, I have a question about making a shared data partition between two linux distros. Is this an appropriate place for the topic? [07:16] i compile custom kernel for ubuntu [07:16] i have that in compiz [07:16] logixoul, can you use ssh on the machine you want to copy to? [07:16] i can't run make menuconfig [07:16] I couldnt figure out how to get combiz [07:16] http://pastebin.com/m30a45357 [07:16] sp00n, it is , if you want to do whatever on ubuntu .. [07:16] when I start open office 3 beta 2 scim can't start [07:16] this is what I got [07:16] compiz split from beryl and rejoined in 2007, its in the repository so you can apt-get it [07:16] Guest3920: no offense but switching to ubuntu just for the cubey thing... not a great idea [07:16] unop: yep. but I can't ssh to root@machine as there's no user root. i need to ssh to someUser@machine, then sudo. but a script can't do that [07:17] I tried and errr failed [07:17] joustin: Quite the other way around [07:17] but you need the correct video drivers first [07:17] in fact have not been able to do the how apt getting thing [07:17] yeah i may have that backwards >< === pen_ is now known as pen [07:17] i write in terminal make menuconfig [07:17] logixoul, .. no, ssh to the other machine as the user and then use sudo to become root .. then you can copy files to it [07:18] I clikc the get apps thing and thats about all i can do [07:18] logixoul: xorg.conf is world readable... [07:18] logixoul, does it have to be via a script tho? [07:18] k i'll be right back gonna get some grub and then try and burn xubuntu on my windows system [07:18] unop: yes, as i said that's a possibility. but i wanna do it from a script. so that doesn't work. [07:18] logixoul: sudo su will give you root, use it wisely [07:18] unop: yep, to automate it [07:18] leo_rockw, bad recommendation [07:18] it keeps telling no such file or directory [07:18] unop: he asked how to get root, that's the answer he is getting [07:18] Flannel: but not world writable [07:18] maybe the link is not right [07:18] unop: yes, between ubuntu and pclinuxos. i installed ubuntu with just one partition + swap, and I installed pclinuxos on a different parition I made out of free space....if I make a shared data partition, do I have to reinstall all of my applications from ubuntu in pclinuxos? i dont know how it works...if i put my home directory on a shared partition, does that just mean that the applications which look into home for their settings will have t [07:18] same settings on each distro? [07:19] leo_rockw, sudo -i is the answer .. never sudo su [07:19] i am getting a screen output on my Sony Bravia TV from my notebook, but the size is only 640x480. how do i change it to the supported resolution 1366x768? [07:19] droopsta915: Weird..... maybe chmod +x ~/Desktop/*.bin [07:19] logixoul: So, youre pushing the file? [07:19] Flannel: yes. [07:19] Guest3920 try this http://seogadget.co.uk/how-to-install-compiz/ [07:19] tryed allready lol [07:19] chmod +x ~/Desktop/PacketTracer5_*.bin [07:19] unop: what's the difference?

[07:21] [0_A4Tech: ask in #windows [07:21] I have a little problem, I'm upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 and it hangs at "Generating locales" according to ps a gzip process is defunct. I cannot kill neither the gzip process nor the localedef one. What can I do? [07:21] droopsta915: mmmmm, weird :D [07:21] You think cisco's download link is wrong? No, I think I'm wrong. [07:21] unop: yeah, I just man su... I didn't know that, thanks [07:21] i got the damn thing on the desktop! [07:21] [0_A4Tech: You can use 7zip for unpack it [07:21] [0_A4Tech, not sure about winrar but 7zip definitely can and it's free unlike winrar [07:22] <[0_A4Tech> tok [07:22] <[0_A4Tech> ok* [07:22] any good mp3 player [07:22] [0_A4Tech: tar zxvf file.tar.gz [07:23] pawan: Ipod... [07:23] :( i'll try some googling, if i get the solution i'll come back to let you know what Idid. [07:23] pawan: as in software or hardware?

[07:24] has anyone here ever used the program MaNGOS? [07:24] this might be OT, but what's the difference between fluendo's mp3 codec and the other codecs? [07:25] Oh yea!! I forgot amarok, it's the best one pawamn [07:25] Flannel: well, is it possible then? pushing a file onto a root owned remote file? without adding a root user [07:25] logixoul, this might work .. ssh user@othermachine 'sudo bash' < /path/to/shell/script [07:26] in every application my song plays half and then hangs [07:26] whats the problem [07:26] should i install audio ouput plugins [07:26] where to get [07:26] pawan: Try running it from terminal and see the errors it outputs :) [07:27] logixoul: scp is very limited in what it can do, try using sftp instead. [07:28] hey i want to install php5 from source, but it cant find the mysql client lib (i installed both mysql-client and mysql-server from apt) how would i do this on hardy [07:28] unop: yep. this will work. it'll be a bit harder to pull off though, as i'd need to set up reverse passwordless ssh as well. thanks. [07:28] Flannel: i'll read up on it. [07:28] Does this have any practical use at home? http://tinyurl.com/5ho4l9 [07:28] im using nginx and it seems that apt-get install php5-mysql is installing apache2 [07:28] which id ont want it to [07:29] Gun_Smoke: howtoforge generally gets Ubuntu (and debian) tutorials wrong. Use the wiki instead (help.ubuntu.com/community/) [07:29] ned: php5-mysql IS apache module [07:29] ari_stress, how do i just install the mysql libs [07:29] the hdaer files [07:29] header* [07:29] and how do i delete apt packages [07:29] ned: i dont know [07:29] logixoul, also. cat xorg.conf | ssh user@otherhost 'cat - | sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf' # though i am not sure how well it works, i've tested it on my machine, but i don't need to enter a password for sudo [07:30] ned: sudo apt-get remove package [07:30] Help: when booting Ubuntu the graphics are ok until the splash screen, then I get corrupted video. Winxp works fine. Done memtest. Any suggestions please have been trying to sort this all day. Thanks. [07:31] Flannel, I was asking it was a practical application in a home environment?

[07:32] have tried on #cheese - nobody there probably... [07:32] debCarlos: OK will do and report back [07:32] ok :) [07:34] unop: good idea as well. but I guess I'm better off enabling root everywhere. less hassle. it won't open up holes, right? [07:34] can anyone help me with an ecommerce question? if you are working on a new website, would you normally build that site directly within your webhosting services servers? or would you build it locally on your own computer, and then upload everything when ready to publish? any thoughts? [07:35] logixoul, bad idea .. especially if you are going to use ssh/scp/sftp to log on as root to copy files over .. it definitely opens up holes [07:36] nubuntu: develop on your own computer. even after published, change things locally, verify they work, then push [07:36] Gun_Smoke: a good portion does't really have much/any use in the home, no. [07:36] nubuntu: I would do it locally first..... but i know nothing about that, i'm not a web designer, i just think that if you upload something buggy it could cause problems (?) [07:36] does anybody know wirete rules for makefile [07:36] unop: hum. weird. [07:36] Frybye: what camera are you using [07:36] logixoul, but then again .. to use that method, you need to enable the user to become root (via sudo) without the need for a password -- which is essentially the same security hole [07:37] logixoul, i would say the first method is best [07:38] Anyone know where i can find a working set of the netboot for hardy? [07:38] hmmm ... okis, thanks [07:38] right now i am trying to turn off avg scan from running at boot,, does anyone know how to do that? [07:38] avg? o_O is that even on Linux?

[07:40] Flannel, Thats what I was getting at.. [07:40] logixoul: no i use it sometimes to scan my filesystem, (mostly b/c of my windows partition :P but i like to make sure there is nothing) and nate__ fscking is not the issue, [07:40] FAJALOU only thing is, you have to touch the file everytime you start up so make an init script and a link in your run level directory [07:41] when I start open office 3 beta 2 scim can't start [07:41] http://pastebin.com/m30a45357 [07:41] nate__: i just install bootchart and fscking is not an issue at all...

I know you said sftp, but how would you use it to write to a directory where the user you are logging on as has no write permissions? [07:41] anyone know of any working versions of netboot for the hardy distro? [07:41] how do i repair my SD cards MBR [07:41] can anyone help me set resolution for an external display (Sony Bravia TV) [07:42] unop: sftp will run a batch file [07:42] Detrix: To automatic configure it, connect the modem and type sudo wvdialconf, then go to /etc/wvdial.conf and edit your username, password and the number you have to dial :D [07:42] how do i repair my SD cards MBR [07:42] vendeta: SD cards have MBR??

I have two boots either xp or ubuntu. xp is fine, but ubuntu suffers from the graphics problem. It seems to be related to the driver for this pc [08:20] starwiz do you have the windows drivers for the wifi drivers? [08:20] AlienX, he means "single user mode" [08:20] starwiz: have you tried using bcm43xx-fwcutter [08:20] I hate it, because on another pc ubuntu I use for the kids is absolutely perfect [08:20] bigdiskool: yes, but not the latest one... lemme give you their repo [08:20] !broadcom | starwiz [08:20] starwiz: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [08:20] bigdiskool: deb http://apt.emesene.org/ ./ [08:20] leo: thnx bro [08:20] Anyone know why my net install stops after the splash screen?

[08:20] short, lol [08:20] Prolly, well what exactly will that do though ? :P [08:20] short, are you trying to do the same thing as me? [08:20] Alistair.... When you boot, in the grub, type 'e' and then go to the line that says kernel, then type again 'e' and add the word single then esc and type 'b' [08:20] leo: crapp thats no good thats why i installed trillian lol [08:20] Hi - I have an asus mb pc which is booting up fine nice progress graphics then when it gets to spash screen the graphics go scewed and very hard to read (impossible) [08:21] which is? [08:21] Alistair with XP? [08:21] iv also been having a problem getting internet with windows it recently stopped working but ubuntu connects just fine..any ideaS? [08:21] Alistair install Ubuntu [08:21] With XP it has perfect graphics and I have done the memtest as well [08:21] or dualboot [08:22] Alistair, oh ok - so it sounds like an X problem? as in, the initial splash screen (which is done in VESA mode i think) works, and at a certain point it goes crazy, right? [08:22] sudobash: I am talking about Ubuntu boot - XP is fine [08:22] bigdiskool: try kopete [08:22] right... pvh_sa|wrk has it i think [08:22] bigdiskool: it's kde, tho [08:22] Alistair, in what particular way do the graphics go wrong? it sounds like you're seeing something, just not the right something? [08:22] X issue [08:23] What would be easiest way to install multible ubuntus at the same time? I have about 20 computers that all have to same hardware and they all should be ubuntu desktops. [08:23] Alistair: Are you capable of do login in console ? [08:23] OK, sorry, I wanted to take a couple of pics but you have it correct - in vesa mode its running fine, then when it starts the splash and desktop there are a whole bunch of slanting lines almost like video out of sync [08:23] Ape3000: you can do netinstalls [08:23] !install | Ape3000 [08:23] Ape3000: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[08:25] Alistair: Log in terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) and edit xorg.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf erasing high resolutions ( > 1200 x XXXX ) [08:25] Alistair, hm, i know its going to be kinda hard, but can you log in on a text console (ctrl-alt-f1 or ctrl-alt-f2) and pastebin the "Monitor" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf - and then tell me what model of monitor you have? [08:25] Chaps thanks very much for helping out here. I tried earlier, but nobody seemed to be able to help. I am actually a programmer with quite a bit of hardware experience, but this one has got me beat. I agree, it does not seem to be picking the monitor right at all. But from Google there does seem to be an issue with Ubuntu and the Asus MB [08:25] I would do Ctrl-Alt-F2 cause sometimes f1 has text that might confuse a new user [08:25] hi again.. anybody got a clue how to fix vidcapture appl. cheese.. see:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/36755/ [08:25] debCarlos, problem is, that stuff is auto-configured these days... there's no 1200 entries as such in xorg.conf [08:26] sudobash, yeah, i tend to agree about ctrl-alt-f2 [08:26] Alistair: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:26] pvh_sa|wrk: NoooooO!!! Why???..... oh, you're right.... mine doesn't have it.... [08:27] Does my hardware need some kind of special support for netboot? [08:27] OK, now best way to manage this - I am using PC #1 here the problem is PC #2 so if I do boot as you want (if I was in XP would be a piece of cake) but I need to get the info onto a usb drive and dump it over to this machine. [08:27] Alistair, can you point out some of those links you find in google? anyway, i'm thinking that Xorg these days auto-configs damn near everything - and its got the wrong settings on that monitor somehow and you need to manually set the sync settings [08:27] actually... sudo apt-get install nano && sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:27] Alistair, ok, maybe that - but the monitor section in xorg.conf is really small :) [08:27] sudobash, or just use vi. hehe ;) [08:27] OK yes, yes, whats the gen for changing the sync? [08:28] vi will confuse new users... [08:28] pvh_sa|wrk: Maybe with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [08:28] so will nano [08:28] haha [08:28] I changed the freq on the monitor but that didnt help one iota [08:28] gedit is the only user friendly one but he doesnt have X lol [08:28] lol [08:28] yeah [08:28] but vi confuses even me sometimes lol [08:28] I'll find the links on google and post here pse waitasec [08:29] Alistair, in the xorg.conf Monitor section you might want to manually set HorizSync and VertRefresh: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html [08:29] yeap me too [08:29] sudobash, nano is fairly sane [08:29] I like nano myself [08:29] I love nano lol [08:29] I can't not fix [08:29] even when I reboot [08:29] debCarlos, good idea about that reconfigure... hehe, i've been using unix for... 16 years... so when i got dumped into nano on my new ubuntu installation i was really confused :D [08:29] sudobash, and it's installed by default in ubuntu, no need to apt-get it [08:29] once one knows what the symbols with nano mean - control and alt etc the 2 x esc and stuff,,, [08:29] sweet [08:29] Is there anything as handy as nvidia-settings for ati cards? one that'll handle all dual screen settings etc for me?

[08:45] avant and awn [08:45] there are other docks out there also [08:46] alright thanks ill have a look at them [08:46] Add it to the forums, I know there are a lot of ppl having the same issue as me, like I said me and a staff member got into it and well... you know. But no reason the info shouldnt be out there [08:46] sebastian: the ones sudobash mentioned, and off the top of my head I can think of kooldock and cairodock (the former is for kde) [08:46] VipOrX: ok, will do. I'll give you the credit, of course [08:47] # sudo === sean is now known as Guest23584 [08:48] hello all [08:48] anyone here [08:48] ? [08:48] nope...

[08:50] Flannel [08:50] I don't use a dock, so IDK [08:50] just make sure you do a sudo modprobe ndiswrapper to make sure it actually works [08:50] sebastian: Synaptic Package Manager [08:50] sebastian: System > Admin > Synaptic Package Manager [08:50] ok [08:50] sebastian: all the programs can be installed from synaptic, tho [08:50] ty [08:50] alright thanks [08:51] ndiswrapper works great actually [08:51] maddmike: As for you, ndiswrapper is in the repos, if thats what you were asking (and yes, you can use synaptic to install it as well) [08:51] ok [08:51] umm [08:51] so [08:52] will i have to config it in terminal [08:52] I think ndiswrapper work better than windows XP using the same drivers... and this is coming from multiple new linux users not only me.... [08:52] or is there a gui [08:52] /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 1002, [08:52] plz help [08:52] (terminal is fine) [08:52] abwhostw: use a livecd [08:52] i get a unable to get exclusive lock error [08:52] there is a gui version for noobs [08:52] abwhostw: Are you sure you got to the recovery console? [08:52] when i try to open that [08:52] terminal is quick though [08:52] yeah [08:52] im not a noob [08:52] sure [08:52] ndiswrapper is so easy [08:52] ill use terminal [08:53] sebastian: close apt-get, or update-manager, or add/remove (you can only have one package manager open at a time) [08:53] sebastian: you can't use two installation apps at the same time [08:53] just make sure at the end of configuring it you do: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [08:53] be back later [08:53] abwhostw: then just fix the file [08:53] :) [08:53] how [08:53] so if i have the terminal open installing ubuntu studio i will have to wait till it finishes? [08:53] sudobash: Please refrain from using that term in the pejorative [08:53] sebastian: yeah [08:53] hi [08:54] Flannel: alright thanks for that [08:54] abwhostw: if you need to change the owner use chown [08:54] what noob? [08:54] chown root.root /etc/sudoers [08:54] how can I restore gnome-panel without X-restarting? "killall gnome-panel" killed him, but it appear in "ps" and can't see him [08:55] chown: changing ownership of `/etc/sudoers': Operation not permitted [08:55] it starts automatically with other id. [08:55] How do i install unetbootin on ubuntu 7.10? [08:55] abwhostw: Pleasepaste the entire line, including your prompt/command [08:55] abwhostw: did you boot from the livecd or in recovery mode?

[08:58] abwhostw: You're not in the recovery console [08:58] sudobash: free software entails open source, but open source does not entail free software (but that's OT :P) [08:58] sebastian: are you using compiz? [08:58] how [08:58] leo_rockw: yes i am sorry didnt understand you [08:59] abwhostw: At your GRUB menu, choose the 'Recovery console' option. [08:59] OK here is the example pics of this weird graphics problem: http://www.alistairgeorge.com/files/p1.jpg and http://www.alistairgeorge.com/files/p2.jpg [08:59] sebastian: that is a compiz issue. I don't know how to fix it because I don't use compiz, tho :( [08:59] leo_rockw, free software is not necessarily open source :P [08:59] is the netboot install suppose to be a black screen? [08:59] abwhostw: you may need to hit escape to see your GRUB menu, right after your POSt [08:59] bringatowel: yes it is [08:59] yes but open source ensures safer code... [09:00] bringatowel: it is one of the 4 freedoms [09:00] leo_rockw, itunes is free, but not open source [09:00] bringatowel: itunes is freeware, not free software [09:00] leo_rockw: alright ill have to look around [09:00] leo_rockw, itunes is free software, free meaning costing nothing, and software meaning a program [09:01] bringatowel: that's the definition of freeware [09:02] but itunes could also by adware/spyware [09:02] along with being freeware because it is not opensource [09:03] How is Ubuntu running on Phenom [09:03] has any one any suggestions [09:03] Samson___, phenom the CPU from AMD? [09:03] yes [09:04] Samson___, fine .. [09:04] I am thinking of upgrading my PC [09:05] Samson___, I don't forsee any problems [09:05] Why is another '/' following a '/' in '(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so'? [09:05] unop: thanks [09:06] Thanks for your efforts guys I guess it will be a case of dumping Ubuntu on PC 1 - I have spent way too much time on it already. Suspect its a hardware fault, but since it runs XP then that makes it harder. Bi for now. [09:06] anyone familiar with the netboot install? [09:06] !anyone | Jatone_ [09:06] Jatone_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [09:07] hi guys, how can i stop 'pulseaudio' process from being executed every time i start the system? [09:07] remove from session [09:07] ubottu, because i have been asking so i decided to be more general [09:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:08] figures bot replies =P [09:08] Jatone_: you want netboot, or minimal?

[09:09] Jatone_: alright: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot Have you tried that page? (links to images halfway down) [09:09] I can't do it [09:09] it doesn't let me [09:09] reikalusikka: What's stopping you? [09:09] bullgard4, the script or program is probably concatenating (adding) the directory and file with a / there .. but the directory has a trailing / .. a side effect of something like this. DRIVER_DIR="/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/"; echo "$DRIVER_DIR/radeon_drv.so" [09:09] reikalusikka: What's "it"? [09:09] Password is too short [09:09] bullgard4, in anycase, it doesn't make a difference [09:09] Jatone_: Also, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation might have additional methods you can use [09:09] User passwords must be longer than 6 characters and preferably formed by numbers, letters and special characters. === rulus_ is now known as rulus [09:10] reikalusikka: Why do you want a password of one character? [09:10] when I try to set it to less than 6 characters [09:10] всем привет я cilvay и успешно установил впн)))! [09:10] I want to create a user for my brother [09:10] reikalusikka: Is this in a certain menu somewhere? [09:10] system->administration->users and groups [09:10] reikalusikka, it will still set the password, just warn you [09:10] unop: Ah, I like your explanation. Thank you very much. [09:10] reikalusikka: make it autologgin [09:10] when i trying to run any song in movies it say "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" [09:10] reikalusikka: just give him a normal password... [09:11] or let him choose one he can remember... [09:11] when i trying to run any song in movies it say "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" anyone help plz [09:11] normal? [09:11] reikalusikka, there is a command line "sudo passwd username password" [09:11] ok [09:11] reikalusikka, yeah just make a password longer than 6 digits ;P [09:11] well [09:11] itäs too hard [09:11] :D [09:11] it's* [09:11] bringatowel, errm, i don't think "password" is a valid argument to passwd as you've shown [09:11] reikalusikka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:11] help plz [09:11] help plz [09:12] help me plz [09:12] when i trying to run any song in movies it say "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" anyone help plz [09:12] !repeat | navjot [09:12] navjot: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[09:12] how can i stop 'pulseaudio' process from being executed every time i start the system? [09:13] unop, lol you are supposed to replace "username" with the username and "password" with the password :D [09:13] frybye: no? [09:13] reikalusikka: thinking up a 7-char pw is "too difficult?" [09:13] reikalusikka, 2 more digits is too hard??? lol [09:13] AhmadSherif: I think someone already answered your question. [09:13] My brother is 6 years old, I don't want a password set up for him at all lol [09:13] bringatowel, the syntax is passwd [options] [LOGIN] as per the manpage .. nowhere there does it say you can provide the password via the command line [09:13] is there a "systems info" type thing in ubuntu, tells the current version all your hardware data and such, or is that pretty much what the terminal would be used for? [09:14] reikalusikka: so who is going to supervise his (Internet?) use.. at 6yo should not be just let loose on the net without supervision... [09:14] :D [09:15] AhmadSherif: System > Preferences > Session, remove PulseAudio [09:15] «-- was a single dad for many years... [09:15] you're propably right but I can always check where he has been [09:15] and he's just playing miniclip games etc [09:16] reikalusikka: could be too late..."hey kid - come ouside and I will give you some candy!" whats your address"" - see what i mean... [09:16] :p [09:16] well you're right [09:16] and a poor password opens up even more ways for the kid to be manipulated etc.. [09:17] unop, "sudo passwd unop apassword" works IIRC [09:17] even " xxxppp" would be better than none... [09:17] or something similar... [09:17] why wont wine write to my sd card? [09:17] bringatowel, you IIRC incorrectly :) [09:17] reikalusikka, set a 6 digit password, then configure autologin, so he doesn't have to type in anything [09:18] bringatowel: How do I configure autologin? [09:18] reikalusikka: login screen setup [09:18] I mean, there are others using the computer as well [09:19] unetbootin-linux-248 is a file on my desktop how do i run it?

[12:09] yes [12:09] 192.168.1.1 [12:09] thats when the issues start [12:09] echo6: But that's repetitive no? [12:09] citroxx: could be, you are using the same ip-address on your windows-machine and on ubuntu [12:09] i thought that [12:10] citroxx, maybe you can get the DHCP server (router) to always give that address to that MAC? [12:10] there is no conflict [12:10] ph8: you can configure it how you want [12:10] my xp machine has a static ip 192.168.1.7 [12:10] echo6: I can configure cron to run something once, after bootup?

[12:16] citroxx, so how'd you fix it? [12:16] !tasksel [12:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about tasksel [12:16] I have a question about file perms. If I have a directory, is it enough to make that directory rwx------ to prevent users from accessing it and any subfiles/directories?? [12:16] gargoyle: tasksel [12:17] DistroJockey: Yeah. About 20 minutes ago. You told me that restarting the x server was all that's needed to get a new xorg.conf loaded right [12:17] TeslaTony: and he was right [12:17] I mean if I take away all permisions from the directoin will that automaticlally deny them permission to contents [12:17] wols, bazhang : is there a way to do that LAMP Server via apt-get rather than tasksel? [12:17] even contents of subdirectories? [12:18] loonytoony: yes, only root can read, write and execute [12:18] TeslaTony, ahh, yes. You're welcome :) [12:18] DistroJockey: apt-get a few packages. that's all that tasksel does [12:18] wols: And as a result, I can properly use contractions under LXDE. Now if only I could get my other alt key working... === frgg is now known as hyug] [12:18] wols, yeah, just thought there may be a metapackage like ubuntu-desktop etc. [12:19] Thanks. [12:19] ok. i have a folder with lot of files that have various perms and I want to temporarily block permissions and restore later [12:19] wols, I always use tasksel for LAMP installs myself :) [12:19] I didn't know if I'd have set them all recursively or if just the top directory was enough [12:19] DistroJockey, used dhcp [12:20] citroxx, ahh, *nods* [12:20] could it be gksudo screenresolution or something? [12:20] :D [12:20] gksudo displayconfig-gtk [12:20] thanks [12:21] darwin_, ^^ [12:21] np [12:21] loonytoony: top directory is fine, as you are taking away the execute permissions from user and all others with rwx------ no one accept root can execute any commands such as "ls" etc within that directory [12:21] ok good. thanks [12:21] loonytoony: best thing to do is simply try it out :) === server_ is now known as kjdx [12:22] Hello! I was wondering where I could go to get some help! [12:22] for Ubuntu and Ipod :( irc.freenode.net) [12:23] oh dear just tried the Flash 10 release candidate ... is it that much to ask Adobe to create a usable flash player on Linux ?? [12:23] katrina, what do you need [12:23] !ipod [12:23] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [12:23] katrina, ^^ [12:24] typical 6th gen problem, stuck my ipod into the comp and now the things not bloody recognizing songs [12:24] when ever I go to Adobe's own website .. Firefox slows to a CRAWL !! [12:24] and searched everywhere, and the link for will's site is dead [12:24] katrina, what apps have you tried, eg gtkpod etc [12:25] gtkpod wont load my ipod [12:25] for some readon [12:25] *reason [12:25] your help please i don't know wot happen to my computer because i can connect with xchart but i cant browse [12:25] amarok works fine here [12:25] okay but I'm now a the point that my ipod music is on my ipod, but not showing on the ipod itself, if that makes sense? [12:26] ciao === geev8 is now known as Tanzanite [12:27] I need to fiddle with the hash part (itunesdb) but I'm not sure how to exactly how to do that.... [12:27] katrina, what version of ubuntu [12:27] feisty [12:27] katrina, no wonder [12:28] arg dont tell me that :S [12:28] yup [12:28] is there any kind of other type of fix for this? I can't exactly reinstall ubuntu [12:28] i don't know wot happen to my computer because i can connect with xchart as now i chat but i cant browse with firefox [12:29] katrina, any reason not to upgrade via the net? [12:29] katrina: don't hesitate to upgrade, new versions of programs have many bugs fixed and new features [12:29] Tanzanite, you mean xchat? [12:29] can someone try ssh to 78.145.42.25 to check my portforwarding? [12:29] citroxx, not a wise option [12:29] no? [12:29] yap xchart [12:29] nay [12:29] why [12:29] how else can i test [12:30] why is cups required for banshee? [12:30] I don't exactly have anywhere to back up my stuff, that's my fear [12:30] citroxx, this channel is logged and so everyone on the internet knows that ip address now [12:30] its dynamic [12:30] Hi when you move the sliders in firefox is it smooth ? http://dayjet.williamworley.com/slider/ on my ubuntu it is kind of sluggish [12:30] still not safe or a good idea [12:30] citroxx: it worked, but now i know your ip, know that there is ssh running and may start brute force attack [12:30] Tanzanite, it is xchat not xchart [12:31] hehe pity you can't xchart with x-chat :) [12:31] try and break it then [12:31] for fun :P [12:31] citroxx, this is offtopic [12:31] of course if you took some ircstats you could probably xchart your results from x-chat :) [12:31] certainly is! [12:31] you started it bazhang. [12:31] not me [12:31] so please dont [12:31] but none of that answers my question: why is cups required for banshee? [12:32] bazhang: ok but dou know what is the solution related to my problem [12:32] Tanzanite, state what it is clearly with lots of details and maybe we can help [12:32] I just installed Ubuntu and navigated to the desktop to install java. I used this command: rpm -Uvh [12:32] bzalto: bad. very very bad [12:32] bzalto, that is for a rpm based distro not ubuntu [12:33] How do I get it for UBuntu? [12:33] how am i install the mplay in the ubuntu system? [12:33] !java [12:33] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [12:33] see the link bzalto [12:33] Thanks!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:40] wols: It's when I run "sudo". I get "Unable to resolve host " [12:40] i didnt ask to ask [12:40] how do i login as root on my fresh install? [12:40] well I think eclipse is probably the way to go [12:41] su root [12:41] citroxx, you don't by default and shouldn't [12:41] but i want to add some users?

(can be seen with less /boot/grub/menu.lst ) [12:48] citroxx: you probably don't have gcc installed [12:49] dabbu, you can set your computer to remember password, and btw, windows passwordless sharing is accomplished by guest:guest, similar to anonymous:anonymous [12:49] wols:it is the share folder over LAN [12:49] ah ok [12:49] ill install it from the package thing.. thanks [12:49] citroxx: install build-essential and read the INSTALL document from eggdrop [12:49] I installed the gtkorphan package from the Add/remove... menu and removed orphna files. But after that my dell laptop cant connect with the wireless device, only cabled nic. There were lotsa lib's being removed. How can i find and reinstall the needed libs/drivers? [12:49] DistroJockey, yes!... [12:49] citroxx: isn't eggdrop in the repository though?

[12:50] rdav, might need to change or remove that vga=xxx (edit it from the grub boot screen initially) [12:50] mahfiaz:can u tell me now how to do that..it will take much more time to read the man [12:50] DistroJockey, cool onto it now [12:50] rdav, :) [12:51] hey people help, when i want to browse to Internet using mozilla firefox no page is to be displayed [12:51] no error [12:51] Johnny sudo update-alternatives --config java [12:51] but xchat is working fine [12:52] I installed the gtkorphan package(graphical tool to find and remove orphaned libraries) from the Add/remove... menu and removed orphna files. But after that my dell laptop cant connect with the wireless device, only cabled nic. There were lotsa lib's being removed. How can i find and reinstall the needed libs/drivers? [12:52] Tanzanite: start firefox from a xterm and check xterm for error messages [12:52] RandyboY: hmh [12:52] dabbu: no, i would have to read it too, but search for security=share [12:52] RandyboY: what wlan chip? [12:52] RandyboY: your best bet would be to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package [12:52] RandyboY: in case gtkorphan removed any core libs [12:52] wols, don know? How do i find out? lspci? [12:53] how do i go cos i am new to ubuntu [12:53] RandyboY: possibly. if it's a pci device [12:53] Tanzanite, does entering the following in the address box in Firefox work?: 150.101.98.211 [12:54] Tanzanite: I told you. open an xterm and run it from there [12:55] DistroJockey, just removed vga ptions and rebooting [12:55] wols, lspci gives me "Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [12:55] rdav, k, best of luck [12:55] it works for that ip [12:55] greetings, i need to put a "wait" command on detecting usb-devices(so not all devices are detected at the same time), where would i do such a thing? [12:55] Tanzanite, then something is up with your DNS resolution [12:56] RandyboY: iwconfig -a [12:56] how do i increase my wireless cards power [12:56] DistroJockey: xchat uses IPs to connect direclty? no DNS resolving? [12:56] or make it so it pics up signals better [12:56] mahfiaz:ok i am doing it now [12:56] so is there a solution for it because i want to run out of windows [12:57] Johnny: better antenna [12:57] wols, maybe, but not sure (might be hardcoded for default servers?) [12:57] where are packages installed too ? i need to edit a config file [12:57] hello all, any experts in the room this morning i need some help with a configuration issue with ubuntu [12:57] Johnny, some cards may be able, see iwconfig [12:57] Tanzanite: nslookup google.com pastebin the output [12:57] is there any way to colour the tasks tabs in the taskbar in ubuntu? [12:57] wols, this exact card was in my toshiba sattelite and it could pick up signal all over the house [12:57] but on this computer im stuck in this one room [12:58] mahfiaz:its solved ..thank u [12:58] and my linksys pci card is even worse [12:58] Tanzanite, can you pastebin cat /etc/resolv.conf ? [12:58] dabbu: :) [12:58] wols: I think the problem has something to do with the newinstalled sendmail [12:58] it says 68% in nm-applet but it doesnt pick anything up hardly [12:58] xintron: you installed sendmail? actual sendmail? [12:58] why??? [12:58] wols: Why not? [12:58] still looking for a way to make sound on flash work on mozilla :PppPP [12:58] wols, iwconfig -a gives me "-a no such device". iwconfig gives me "no wireless extenions" on lo, eth0 and wmaster0. wlan0 has some info to it... what info you need there? [12:58] i have 2 linksys wireless cards, a pcmcia and a pci and the laptop one is much better [12:59] wols: I want to be able to send mails using php's mail() function [12:59] RandyboY: so the driver is still working for your wlan [12:59] mahfiaz:u dont know how much relaxed i am now..i was trying this or 3 days..i reinstalled samba..remove it and it then installed it man time then now i am able to share it perfectly [12:59] how do you improve wireless card performance [12:59] Johnny, some cheaper cards do not report signal strength, or report some constant value [12:59] hello...can someone help me share my pppoe connection? [12:59] xintron: and? sendmail is NOT needed. exim which ships with ubuntu is just fine and has the advantage of being no hassle [12:59] where does eggdrop get install? what directory? [12:59] thanks :) [12:59] xintron: EVERY MTA out there has a sendmial wrapper binary. ALL of them [12:59] Johnny: with interface down, do > iwconfig wlan0 txpower XX (wlan0 can be ath0 or other) most cards are at max power to start .txpower sets the transmit power in dBm or % power [13:00] Tanzanite, or just do all the following in a terminal and give us the address: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/resolv.conf | pastebinit [13:00] wols: ah, how do I set that up with php then? [13:00] wols, ok? i can list up wireless network, but cant connect them... That has nothing with the drivers to do then? [13:00] citroxx: install it from the repos and then dpkg -L eggdrop [13:00] what should XX be DozedOnLinux ? [13:00] Johnny: in terminal (for more info) > man iwconfig [13:00] xintron: no setup needed [13:00] wols it starts but i need to write the config file [13:00] i just dont know where it is [13:00] citroxx: config files are in ~ or /etc, depending [13:00] /usr/lib [13:00] has nothing to do with where the eggdrop itself is. check eggdrop docs [13:01] ok [13:01] Johnny: dBm or % power. read manual for iwconfig in terminal > man iwconfig [13:01] cool [13:01] RandyboY: how do you connect usually? check your logs for errors relating to your WLAN [13:01] you know the aux and main lines on the internal cards , what can i do to make those better [13:01] syslog and kernel.log mainly [13:01] i have some from another laptop that i plugged in but it didnt help much [13:01] I have a problem! When i try to boot ubuntu Hardy Heron it just stops and i have to kill the computer. When i run the recovery mode it keeps telling me about something like: "USB port 8-3 error 110" Any sugestions? =) [13:01] can i make an antenna ? [13:02] how do i reinstall the gnome-games extensions, everytime i try to install a new package it says my gnome-games is not configured properly and i don't know how to configure it [13:02] for the aux, main things on the internal cards that is [13:02] I get "Hostname: Unknown host" and "Unable to resolve hostname" when using sudo, why is that? [13:02] Johnny: if you are on a desktop, prob unlikely to make a difference, with laptop, possible, but louder isnt always better, especially when your router is <10 feet away [13:02] Reading package lists...

I downloaded Wubi yesterday (and have gone through three on/off cycles) but now it loads to a black screen with white text. It says BusyBox v1.1.2 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Buit-in shell (ash) [14:24] Kian, your filesystem got damaged and needs fsck /dev/sda1 [14:24] And I am completely confused :S Why isn't it loading to desktop?

[14:25] in university i use it and it works fine [14:25] jrib, i'm actually looking at it, i don't see sock 5 proxies [14:25] okey [14:25] Blaze_Boy, search google, disable unused services, boot one time with "profile" kernel parameter [14:25] kenshin: did you try? You probably do not need to do anything special [14:25] does anyone here know if it's possible to transfer running applications from one X11/Xorg screen to another? [14:26] i did all of that and still long time ?

[14:29] Blaze_Boy, ask in #ubuntu+1 maybe [14:29] Blaze_Boy, if you don't care of comfort, you can use slackware for some time, or vector linux (simplier slack), and when you have enought of that, come back to ubuntu :) [14:29] Hi! which file system is the fastest one ? ReiserFS? [14:29] mahfiaz: then, how can I get to Desktop?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [14:35] Yamakiri, yes, but run /bin/bash first, makes you little more comfortable [14:35] mahfiaz, come again? i spose you are asking if i have installed drivers for my gfx card :P [14:35] mahfiaz, and in that case, ye i have :|| [14:35] dabbu?

You can't revert this because for a given file that is now 755, you have no info about what it was before. It was like having a file with the word 'ubuntu', then running a program to change all letters to 'x', and trying to figure out what the file said originally.

I use the intel driver and have a 945GME, When I run an opengl (3d hardware), and put a window over it, the hardware rendered image draws over, despite the window bieng semi- or totaly-covered [16:23] mahfiaz, i restarted this computer then i was able to browse to only three page [16:24] Tanzanite, if you run sudo dhclient, can you browse some more?

And wine verison is 1.0 [16:27] Tanzanite, it's a little early to thank, this will come back every boot or dhcp timeout, I am afraid [16:27] ASULutzy: Close all firefox windows and open another, let me know if this did nothing === Karol is now known as Karol|Ubuntu [16:27] triggerhapp: That's the first thing I tried, and I was surprised that it didn't work [16:27] triggerhapp: ps ax | grep firefox shows no firefox processes are running [16:28] mrwhippy: I dont know why it has to be so complicated... are you sure you've installed the application on the server properly? [16:28] brb need to restart and ill look at ur question [16:28] mrwhippy: there may be a configuration file thats blocking access. [16:28] triggerhapp: I'm looking around /etc/firefox-3.0 now seeing if there's something there [16:28] Tanzanite, try clicking on networkmanager-applet icon in tray and click on network connection, so this asks new ip (some animation), if finished, it may behave the same [16:29] ASULutzy: go to your home directory, turn on hidden files and look in .mozilla/firefox [16:29] whenever I run e17, xorg eats up like 90% of my cpu, what gives [16:29] Tanzanite, just try it [16:29] mahfiaz, sure but i hav to thank cos you started get me out of prob [16:29] ASULutzy: uninstall it, remove the config files, and folders , re-install it [16:29] ASULutzy: There should be one randomly named "xxxx.default" dir, in there are bookmarks etc (be careful in here btw:P) [16:29] triggerhapp: K, I'll try editing the .ini and changing startwithlastprofile to false [16:29] nixnoob: as far as i know, i followed a guide on ubuntu forums to do the install, i did think of that but i only have openssh-server and vmware installed on the server, from what you said earlier do you recommend virtualbox over vmware then? is this easier to access etc... if so i may well go and give it a go, i have spent most of the last two days on vmware and am not impressed as i cant access it yet, [16:29] triggerhapp: Ah ok === crazy is now known as Guest75021 [16:30] ASULutzy: Ok. you're about 3 moves ahead of me here :) [16:30] mahfiaz, ok am just trying to oppen different pages [16:30] ASULutzy: You seem to know enough about firefox,im just trying to lead you to possible causes :) [16:30] nixnoob: could it be my allow/deny config [16:30] triggerhapp: heh, well inform me about this .default file, cause I'm not really that sure what I'm doing :) [16:30] hi there, is it possible to change a cronjob, ie if im saying do something > myfile.out can i change myfile.out in the cronjob atall? so it'd be myfile.out,then myfile1,2 and so on? [16:30] <[T]ank> I have been doing some searching on how to connect evolution to ms exchange 2007. I am not finding a way. Can any one tell me if it is possible or if there is an alternative to evolution that will allow me to sync mail and calendar with ms exchange 2007? [16:31] ASULutzy: How many sub dir-s were there in firefox? [16:31] mrwhippy: it could be the allow/deny config... I've never used remote management tools for vmware or vbox so I wouldn't know, I just use vbox on my 8.04desktop for some windows apps. [16:31] triggerhapp: I only see one, xxxxxxxx.default [16:31] and then the profiles.ini [16:31] Tanzanite, if the problem comes back, it may be easier to force networkmanager to reask ip (as explained before) or use static ip [16:31] ugh, how do I stop VLC? [16:31] mrwhippy: I didnt understand your question at first thats why I suggested vbox [16:31] ASULutzy: in the .default, look in bookmarks, are these your old ones? [16:31] Meesis_Meeso, press stop? [16:32] Meesis_Meeso, you may killall vlc, or killall -s9 vlc [16:32] ok [16:32] triggerhapp: Inside of bookmarkbackups it looks like those are [16:32] nixnoob: k i see, unfortunately it has to be on the server and like i say i dont wont to start putting a desktop on there, i think i may be somewhere closer now, thanks for your help, ill go have a look at my allow/deny and see if that helps, thanks for your help ill try and get back on and let you know how i get on as i leave soon ish. [16:32] Meesis_Meeso, there is also gnome panel applet for killing, point and kill [16:32] ok [16:33] mahfiaz: xkill [16:33] but its running in the backgrounf [16:33] ASULutzy: Those are...? :P [16:33] inside of the folder bookmarkbackups, those are my bookmarks === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [16:33] mahfiaz, on this two small screen like computers (am using ubuntu 8) [16:33] But they don't appear when I launch firefox [16:33] Meesis_Meeso, then use killall vlc [16:34] triggerhapp: Those are really the only thing I cared about... I guess if worse comes to worst I could sudo apt-get purge it and restore the bookmarks from there... [16:34] ASULutzy: Novel, so its loading the wrong profile? [16:34] mahfiaz i found tetwork setting and i cant find the ip it has obtained from server [16:34] For now, make a backup of the .default dir somewhere safe :P [16:34] triggerhapp: apparently, I don't really know how to check which profile it's loading? There only seems to be one, and the .ini is telling it to load the one [16:35] Tanzanite, ifconfig, or right-click, information on networkmanager-applet [16:35] ASULutzy: im not quite sure myself, but set start with to 0 and see if it asks which one to use [16:35] trying to copy the stuff in home/.thunderbird on one pc to same location on another to have same mail situation - comp1 is kubuntu - comp2 is ubuntu .. comp1 wont let me move the stuff - any tips?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [16:37] Or are you using portable media? [16:37] mahfiaz, oooh sorry the ip is listed also after running dhclient command [16:37] triggerhapp: I just blew up the .ini, loaded it, it restored everything to default, and I just restored the bookmarks from the backup files. Thanks for your help, didn't know where the config stuff was stored!

Everytime that I switch Viewports, a configuration window of cairo-dock with the title < Maintenance Mode > appears. I can't access the cairo-dock unitl i close that window.

I have a VNC-Server installed and willing to let you watch my stuff. And can help me find the problem. Please message me. Thanks [16:45] jpjacobs: how are you trying to install grub?

[16:46] gives me /dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive [16:46] yes [16:47] jpjacobs: it's probably /dev/sda -- check sudo fdisk -l [16:47] mahfiaz, for me i will be running dhclient [16:47] can anyone help me figure out why my browsers (FF & epiphany) crash on certain websites i.e. mininova.org, tried checking on terminal and i get segmentation fault, what is that?

I'm trying to setup a network with 2 machines behind a linux box acting as a router. I've added Masquerading to the iptables, and have one nick on the net, and one nick configured on a different subnet with the two local machines connected to it. I can ping one, but I can't ping the other. Both machines are setup with the same configuration, just one is 10.10.5.2 instead of 10.10.5.3, whereas the linux box is 10. [18:47] 10.5.1.

[19:30] how do i run gconf-edit? [19:30] Brucee: it's gconf-editor, I believe. hit alt-f2 then type "gconf-editor" and hit enter [19:31] ubuntu should improve openoffice.org to read ms word because it change some layout made on windows [19:31] Flannel, thx [19:31] !brainstorm | LinuxGhost [19:31] LinuxGhost: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like!

If so hows it work for you? Buggy or ok? [19:33] SkinnYPup, yes I am and it works well [19:33] and that will show you the hidden files and directories.

[19:35] Dazed: thats a great question. let me know when someone gives you an answer. thats something I would like to do with a remote desktop [19:35] why would a mobo manufacturer put two network cards on a system... one from nvidia, and one from 3com... [19:35] PriceChild: OK [19:35] kk [19:35] that makes no sense to me [19:35] how do i appear the trash can (recicle bin) on the desktop? [19:35] im googling [19:35] !devilspie | Dazed [19:35] Dazed: devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning. Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie [19:35] digitalvaldosta_: You too [19:35] is anyone successfully using firestarter on hardy?

[19:36] digitalvaldosta_: Putting stuff on different workspaces by default, etc [19:36] ooooh [19:36] digitalvaldosta_, where is the .fonts directory? [19:36] why is my login screen's resolution so high and how do I fix it? [19:37] mrpiracy: if you open Places > Home Folder that is where. You will have to hit CTRL h [19:37] because the dot in front makes it hidden [19:37] Wols (or anyone): Is there anything else I can do to try and recover data from a parition turned into a swap file? [19:37] it may not be there. I had to make it myself [19:38] good night [19:38] but the system recognized it. [19:38] it makes for a great drag and drop way of adding fonts [19:38] how do i make the trash can (recicle bin) appear on the desktop? [19:38] Flare183: gddrescue is installed [19:39] okay heres a more basic question.. what is the linux equivalent of the windows startup folder? you know.. where do i control all the stuff that loads automatically on startup? [19:39] digitalvaldosta_: Try using it to recover the data [19:39] Brucee: Look at this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=771658 [19:39] !autostart | Dazed [19:39] Dazed: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [19:39] thanks [19:39] np [19:39] digitalvaldosta_, i see .fontconfig not .fonts [19:39] !boot | Dazed [19:39] Dazed, please see my private message [19:40] Dazed: I am not sure of the folder but if you have gnome (the ubuntu default) the go to System > Preferences > Sessions [19:40] beautiful [19:40] mrpiracy: right click in your home directory and make a folder and name it .fonts [19:41] Hello. I just installed Ubuntu using the alternate installer cd and configured "/boot" to be on /dev/md0, while "/" is on an LV in an LVM VG on a LUKS device on /dev/md1. Now when I boot, the kernel complains about missing /dev/mapper/vg1-root. Why didn't initrd load LVM or cryptsetup? [19:41] digitalvaldosta_, and just drag .ttf files into it? [19:41] then drag and drop any ttf font files that you want to use into it. You can leave them in their folder. [19:41] yes [19:41] digitalvaldosta_, ok, gonna try that [19:41] What is pulseaudio session management? I'm using ALSA... do I need that? [19:42] mrpiracy: its as easy as that. If you want more than just your user to use them then I think you will have to do it under /etc/skel [19:42] I thought pulse audio was like an alternative to alsa [19:42] Dazed: I think so [19:42] !pulseaudio | Dazed [19:42] Dazed: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [19:42] digitalvaldosta_, ok [19:42] !esd [19:42] esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead [19:42] Hey. I right-clicked on my trash in the bottom-right-hand corner of Gnome and selected something that got rid of it. Anyone know how to get it back? [19:42] hehe [19:42] Dazed: No, ALSA still drives the hw [19:42] Sweet, so ill disable that [19:42] codazoda: No, sorry [19:43] codazoda: just right click on the grey bar (panel) that it was on and click add to panel [19:43] hi, i've got a question concering xorg.conf, automated configure did not properly detected display, how can i fix it? [19:43] oh oops [19:43] does the power manager do anything if youre not on a laptop? I'm using a desktop pc... I probably dont need power manager either eh? [19:43] there are several applications that can be added [19:43] digitalvaldosta_: I knew it would be easy. Thanks. [19:43] Dazed: Actually the power managment helps control the Screen saver I think [19:43] oh right [19:44] Does changing a NTFS drive to a Swap File make all the data unrecoverable? [19:44] turns off the display after a while i suppose [19:44] I am trying to get samba working so I can share files between linux and windows. I'm following a tutorial on samba's website and it says to type the command to verify that it's configured correctly: "sudo smbclient -L server -U%" and that command does what it's supposed to. Then it says to verify that it will accept a username and password so I type: "smbclient -L server -Uroot%password" and I get the error: "Connection to server [19:44] Yay!

[20:37] ray_, generally, though, the approach I'd take would be to launch truecrypt from your initrd to unlock your root filesystem and go from there. [20:38] is there a fast way to check my sound input to make sure it's working? [20:38] There is like 5 linux drivers on this page, which one would be most compatible with ubuntu? http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false [20:39] [NIXNOOB] ==> can i get a termain window through clicking something like 'usr/bin/terminal' or something?

I'm having a digital cam pentax optio 50 and I don't know if It's compatible with linux.

[20:39] <_2> giacomo you might want to add a mknod console c 5 1 as well... [20:40] <_2> giacomo that should be all you need to get booted. [20:40] what command can i use afterintalling driver via envyng to get driver to activate on a liveCD? since i obviously cannot restart? [20:41] <_2> giacomo if it complains tell me and i'll help you make what ever it needs. if i'm still here or in #kubuntu that is. [20:41] How do I change screen resolution via Terminal? [20:41] it says "couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0" [20:42] <_2> giacomo what says that ?

[20:43] digitalvaldosta_: have you tried gparted? It's with gui, much more intuitive [20:43] does someone in here use a external disc case made by "fantec"? [20:44] <_2> giacomo that should have nothing to do with device nodes not to the best of my knowledge anyway [20:44] ok, wtf. kubuntu-kde4-8.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso fails [20:44] it has some too long names [20:44] so it gets truncated [20:44] Hello, I have mounted a 500gb external "My Book."

Any suggestions? [21:16] <_2> well if no one has a clue for me on my broken su problem other that to call the boot !sudo and scold me for being to stupid to use sudo.... then i'll go, and leave you fellows with it. [21:16] i found e16 in the synaptic package manager [21:16] its not in the add/remove one [21:17] any suggestions? [21:17] jrib: now i don't have any amsn version installed but i downloaded the last version from internet, my problem is that i don't know how to install it [21:17] Can someone explain me how to use the PASSWD option/var thing in /etc/sudoers ? [21:17] chamuscas: that's okay, please pastebin the output of the command I gave you [21:17] <_2> ompaul thanks for the ToD. and i'll try to not call a horse a horse... ;/ [21:17] how do i translate a wep key to the password === _WetWillY is now known as WetWillY [21:17] whats the best way to shutdown in terminal, i currently do - sudo shutdown now -h - but i believe thats not wise at it forces shutdown ignoring other programs, so which commands do ppl use? [21:18] how can I have all my ntfs partitions automaticly mounted at startup and have hardy to place an icon to each partiton on the destop?

[21:18] Pirate_Hunter: I use sudo poweroff, but that forces everything too [21:18] Hello. I just installed Ubuntu using the alternate installer cd. Now when I boot, the kernel complains about missing /dev/mapper/vg1-root. Why didn't initrd load LVM and cryptsetup? [21:18] Both `cryptsetup` and `lvm` are available in the dropped (initramfs) shell. How to make initrd run `cryptsetup`? [21:19] casdf, it's not ... i have to go nautilus and click on each of them for it to be mounted [21:19] chamuscas: highlight to copy, middle click to paste. Or if you prefer use ctrl-shift-c to copy, and ctrl-v to paste into your browser [21:19] _2, I'm actually kinda serious, if its to the point where I need to shutdown in CLI, it's probably because I've got a nasty lockup [21:19] sb goto 21:55 [21:19] I yank off the power cord *kidding* [21:19] jrib: amsn: [21:19] Instalado: (nenhum) [21:19] Candidato: 0.97+final-0ubuntu5 [21:19] Tabela de Versão: [21:19] 0.97+final-0ubuntu5 0 [21:19] 500 http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages [21:19] chamuscas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:20] Pirate_Hunter, it doesn't do what you want [21:20] chamuscas: you can enable the -proposed repository. Install *only* amsn from there. Then disable -proposed. Do you know how to do this? [21:20] don't worry about it [21:20] ok [21:20] also; does anyone have a suggestion for a gtk+ media player that has nice spectrograms? [21:20] enzotib, thx, will have a look [21:20] can anyone help me with a noob question [21:20] can someone help me? i keep getting: "buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" when i am booting from livecd [21:20] Maahes: oh ok than np but out of curiosity what does it do? [21:20] whats the best way to shutdown in terminal, i currently do - sudo shutdown now -h - but i believe thats not wise at it forces shutdown ignoring other programs, so which commands do ppl use? [21:21] Pirate_Hunter, the kernel has a few interrupt commands, that override everything else. alt+sysrequest+b is an immediate hard reboot. [21:21] jrib: :p no sry your dealing with a newbie, can you help me please? should i install amsn through ubuntu's repository ? [21:21] patw,here you are [21:22] good u [21:22] chamuscas: yes. There is a fix available in the -proposed repository. But you should not install other updates from it. Install only amsn. First, enable the -proposed repository in System -> Administration -> Software Sources. Then install *only* amsn. Then disable -proposed again in Software Sources. [21:22] Maahes: hmmm youre right not what i want it is easy to find straight shutdown but a delayed one is much harder, it would be nice that it sent a signal to kill all process running before shutingdown [21:22] I'm trying to get S-video out to work on my Thinkpad T30, running 8.04.1. It has a Radeon 7500 Mobility card, and instructions here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_get_TV-Out_working_on_ATI_graphic_cards [21:23] my sound only works with one program at a time [21:23] Pirate_Hunter, a delayed shutdown? EASY! [21:23] Led me to the Gatos ati.2 binaries, I untarred them, but I don't know what to do afterwards [21:23] what program can I use to convert hex data (as a text file) into a binary form? [21:23] magnetron: brb door [21:23] hey guys, using ldap for logins (working) and for some reason my /etc/security/group.conf file is being ignored. (not adding additional group membership) Any suggestions? [21:24] Has anyone else had problems with their X login crashing when someone else logs on, or soon after? [21:24] jrib: wait i'm confused. first i enable -propose repository, then i install amsn, and then disable -propose. Is this correct? another thing what is -proposed for? [21:24] magnetron: yah back like what you were saying how would i do that, how do i make the shutdown delay and send kill signal to all processes? [21:24] Pirate_Hunter, "sudo shutdown +10" will shutdown the computer in 10 minutes [21:24] so how do i use this e16 i installed [21:25] it didnt add any icons to my menu anywhere [21:25] chamuscas: that is correct. Fixes go into -proposed first for testing before getting into -updates [21:25] has anyone gotten a gray screen in 8.04? [21:25] wee....I have wireshark running....but absolutely no idea what anything its reporting means [21:25] Hello. Can anyone please tell me how to make initrd run `cryptsetup` to make the kernel able to mount its root fs? [21:25] failsafe gnome works, but a standard login on all users results in a gray screen [21:25] jrib: aaah tank you :), so proposed is like a group of people accepting updates and testing it for the community ? [21:26] I do know that I have some things that pop up as red and black, which are usually bad colors [21:26] magnetron: nice thats one part sorted but wil it send a kill signal to all processes before it shutsdown? [21:26] chamuscas: yeah, you're like a beta tester [21:27] Pirate_Hunter, "sudo shutdown now" will send a kill signal to all processes [21:27] chamuscas: you got amsn working with good fonts and themes? [21:27] Pirate_Hunter, the previous command too [21:27] anybody get TeamSpeak working on ubuntu ? [21:27] Pirate_Hunter: shutdown arranges for the system to be brought down in a safe way. [21:27] magnetron: i use that but noticed that processes dont get killed it forces shutdown ignoring processes closing [21:27] jrib: oh ok tks, another thing i'm have a portuguese version of ubuntu and i don't know the meaning of purpose, can you tell me in wich does things up there is the option [21:28] Pirate_Hunter: not yet [21:28] Pirate_Hunter, they do get killed [21:28] guntbert: really than im the one whos wrong than [21:28] pub: AFAIK there is a native TS client for linux. [21:28] pub: it should install and just work. [21:28] <|MUSE|> what is the best flash version to install on a 32 bit version ubuntu on a 64 bit system? [21:28] Pirate_Hunter: try man shutdown [21:28] <|MUSE|> flash 10? [21:28] nixnoob It works but i am unable to unmute myself [21:29] chamuscas: in the Actualizacoes tab. The third check box says "(hardy-proposed)" [21:29] chamuscas: if you do tell me, guide me on how to so i can do a tut, a lot of ppl lately have been asking for amsn by the way there is also emesene "if thats how its spelled" [21:29] pub: are you using pulse audio or alsa? [21:29] jrib: are you portuguese :p ? [21:29] guntbert, magnetron: ty so ive been doing the right thing all along ahhhh [21:29] i believe ALSA, how to check it though ? [21:29] chamuscas: yes :) [21:29] RST are reset packets right? [21:30] Pirate_Hunter: so it is :-) [21:30] pub: double click the little speaker icon on your panel and check what device it has checked. [21:30] pub: and check the settings in TS to see if its the same. [21:30] jrib: ok so we are speaking in English because it isn't aloud to speak in other language is that right ? :p [21:30] jrib: wouldnt have guessed but than i dont hang on the portuguese channel === kevinO is now known as icanttype [21:30] <|MUSE|> is Adobe flash 10 beta 2 safe to install on ubuntu? [21:30] |MUSE|: yes [21:31] chamuscas: yep [21:31] how would i go about checking it on TS [21:31] <|MUSE|> cool [21:31] chamuscas: there's #ubuntu-br and #ubuntu-pt though [21:31] pub: I'm not sure I dont have TS. === Twigathy1 is now known as Twigathy [21:31] hi. have an abit a-n78hd, when I install nvidia drivers (for the built in GF8200) then my sata starts to throw errors all around and the computer freezes.. anyone know if this been solved ? [21:32] jrib: does i know but in this room there are lot more people to ask questions. [21:32] Hm [21:33] I can listen to music on totem [21:33] <_underdog> is it possible to copy a file directly to a printer from the commandline? [21:33] Maahes, every line in the wireshark dump is a separate network packet [21:33] jrib: just one more question if you don't mind, about porpose, I'm trying to find some information about it on the internet but i can't becausa i don't want you to kill time with me, do you know a website talking about it ? [21:33] but when I start firefox with a flash object embedded with sound, the sound there doesn't work [21:33] how do i make e16 go? :\ [21:33] now if i THEN stop totem and reload the flashpage, it plays sound [21:33] but afterwards the totem sound is muted! [21:33] hi there! it seems that my gnome desktop has locked up. what can i do to get it back under control [21:33] !proposed | chamuscas [21:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about proposed [21:33] hmm [21:34] !e16 [21:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about e16 [21:34] and also sound of eg. pidgen, system beeps... [21:34] magnetron, that I get, what I don't get, is what any of it means exactly? My issue is that there is something weird with this network that's cutting me off from half the internet, on my linux computer only [21:34] !enlightenment [21:34] Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. [21:34] windows gets around it just fine [21:34] and it's not a an active-directory issue or anything like that [21:34] jrid: just need to right that in the console ? [21:34] jrib: sry i'm real noob [21:35] chamuscas: nope, I messed up [21:35] yedday: Unfortunately, that's a bug in how Flash handles Pulseaudio. It seems that only one aplication can have control of the daemon at one time. [21:35] jrib: ok ok [21:35] bobertdos, I guessed something like that. Is there a workaround? [21:35] anyone want to give me some support? <- first time user [21:35] ello....my sound only works with one program at a time. can anyone help? [21:35] notsogood: best to just ask the channel your question [21:35] k [21:36] Maahes, that would require extensive knowledge about computer networks. nobody will be able to transfer that much knowledge to you just over IRC. if you could post the dump to a file storage site, though, maybe someone could be able to have a look at it. maybe. [21:36] jrib: tks i have already found it :p, once again tks for the time you lost :) [21:36] chamuscas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports mentions it. I don't know of a better page [21:36] yedday: not that I know of, unless you wanted to try forcing Hardy back into Hardy, but I don't recommend it. [21:36] bobertdos: I mean, after that sequence, when I stop firefox totally and want to listen to music on totem, it still does not work. I'd have to restart. [21:36] chamuscas: make sure you disable it after installing amsn. Packages often break in there [21:36] jrib: tks a lot :) [21:36] hardy back into hadry? you mean edgy? [21:36] magnetron, darn, thanks. [21:37] jrib: sure, i won't forget [21:37] yedday: oops--I meant force Hardy back into using ALSA. [21:37] yedday: but again, I don't recommend that [21:37] Type ' hi, where does pidgin store its config? [21:38] bobertdos: I don't want to listen to flashsound AND totem sound, but i'd like to have the choice for one or the other [21:38] frith: ~/.purple/ [21:38] thanks [21:38] bobertdos: just tell me something: If i stop firefox and want to listen to sound using totem, how do I acchieve that? [21:39] can anybody think of any problems which could possibly occur when upgrading dapper to hardy on a software raid array? [21:39] with the script on the CD [21:39] n3hima, lts to lts is well supported [21:40] IdleOne, if you are wrong I am going to drop your dox in 4chan [21:40] <[kurt]_> join #ubuntu-ru [21:40] n3hima, that said. backup your data [21:40] yedday: Well, I normally just close Firefox or get off the flash page. I suppose you can try restarting pulseaudio with something like sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [21:40] IdleOne, we have 1TB of data in a field with no spare HDs [21:41] hi; i have a question regarding sound devices in ubuntu. my onboard sound card has 5 jacks in the back, but right now all i see on /dev/audio is just a single channel, digital1 [21:41] yedday: I can't guarantee that'll work, but it's the only thing I can think of. [21:41] n3hima: unless you don't care if you lose the data, you shouldn't upgrade without backups... [21:41] the chip is a HDA-Intel Realtek ALC883 according to this [21:41] n3hima, don't make idle threats. it is your system and you are responsible for what happens to it.most upgrades go off well but like with any upgrade there is always a chance at total system failure [21:41] is it possible to run the live cd from usb if I don't have cdrom? [21:42] I have a question, my sound only works with one program at a time. [21:42] IdleOne, yeah, just kidding around. I will get killed if this goes wrong, not you. [21:42] theBrettman, I think there is a tutorial how to make ubuntu bootable on a usb stick [21:42] can't boot from usb [21:43] theBrettman >> I never tried, but there are some distributions - among them ubuntu - who claim that it's possible [21:43] bobertdos: thank you for your kind help. I will try that. [21:43] good bye [21:43] n3hima, like I said lts to lts is well supported but if you need more specific info on possibilities ask in #ubuntu-dev or #ubuntu-offtopic. ( lots of people in the know ) [21:43] I know there's a tutorial on doing that too using tomsrtbt but I'm just wondering if it would be easier to just run the livecd off usb but then it would have to copy installation files to hd and boot it === adante_ is now known as adante [21:44] <|MUSE|> pidgin is not highlighting when my name is said, it used to, but I have just reinstalled. Where do I change this? [21:44] anyone know a good howto build a new kernel? [21:44] and I don't know if the live cd does that or not [21:44] How do I append to a file using sudo?

[23:20] jmichelsen_: i just changed to sdb1? you didn't change anything?.. why not just change the fstab entry to match the new device name?

[23:21] no [23:21] ed0n0n: are you sure the 4.3 GB and 4.7GB isn't the same size? difference being because of 1024 vs 1000 in a kb ? [23:21] digitalvaldosta, if not, all i can suggest is rebooting into the live CD session and trying fsck again [23:22] unop: Slart magnetron: changingi fstab worked, but any idea why that changed on its own? [23:22] Slart: could also be because of that, but don't know for sure. Does 4.7 usually be 4.3? [23:22] unop, is there away to make the cd reboot but force fsck on boot? or does it just clear it out on boot [23:22] jmichelsen_, i'd hate to repeat what i just said [23:22] Slart: I want to rec 4.6 Gb [23:23] jmichelsen_, the device orders and numbering are not set in stone [23:23] unop: is there a way to set them in stone so it doesnt happen again? or does that cause problems? [23:23] jmichelsen_, it's better to use the UUID or LABEL as an identifier in /etc/fstab for this reason [23:23] jmichelsen_, use a UUID [23:23] unop: ah understood [23:24] господа, могу ли я допустим из раздела ext3 в котором 200 гб и на который сейчас установлен /home/ вырезать гигабайт 20 на установку винды, не потеряв при этом файлы?

[23:28] i'm updating from gutsy to 8.04 and it's stuck at "Generating Locales... en_AU.UTF-8. any idea what i should do? [23:28] jmichelsen_: nothing? running "sudo blkid" in a terminal didn't give you any output at all? [23:29] Slart: no output [23:29] bronger, a reboot is usually never necessary .. only kernel upgrades require a reboot .. and debconf prompts you if certain services need restarting [23:29] jmichelsen_, sudo blkid /dev/sdb1 [23:29] Slart: sudo vol_id -u device gave me a # tho [23:29] fallore: give it a couple of min - the aus servers are slow [23:29] People, there is a way to get the MD5 checksum of a directory?

[23:36] After working under GNOME for a period, possibly after logging out and then back in and working some more, I've got a problem where I can't lock the screen, is there a way to get this working again? === skaczacy_ is now known as skaczacy [23:36] fallore: if you choose aus as your timezone it defaults to the aus servers which are poor to say the least [23:36] fallore: yep [23:36] favro: my timezone is PST SF/LA or something [23:37] Could someone post a guide to install Flash (10) in Ubuntu 8.04.1 64-bit? I know it's possible but I can't get the plugin detected. [23:37] Hello. Help me please, I installed Photoshop CS. But it categorically does not want to work tool text input, but If the copy, then see. Not yet scaling tool work. Ubuntu 8.04, Wine 1.0 [23:38] fallore: ok then - " "Generating Locales... en_AU.UTF-8. any idea what i should do?" made me think you're in aus [23:38] My USB's keep turning off after about 30 hours of uptime, and i either have to reboot or unplug and replug in my mouse to get them to work again. [23:38] favro: nope. it's just the first thing that came on... [23:38] the_darkside_986: why do you want version 10? [23:38] fallore: if it is hanging you can wait or start again - your choice [23:38] i got it working before on ubuntu 64 [23:39] hey all, despite having my multiverse lines uncommented in sources.list, I can't seem to see ALL the packages from there. I can see some of them, but I can't see either sun-java6-plugin or sun-java5-plugin. anyone have any idea why I can't see them? The online Ubuntu package index says its in multiverse repos [23:39] dabbill: what USB devices ? [23:39] linxeh just have a mouse hooked up [23:39] dabbill: odd :o [23:39] sajid, Did you run: sudo apt-get update? [23:39] favro: i just don't like powering off while my computer might be doing something :X but i think it's the only option. could i maybe just reboot X or whatever it is that ctrl + alt + backspace does? [23:39] are the ubuntu archives down? [23:39] it the upgrade program freezes while generating locales is it safe to just cancel it and restart it? [23:39] s/it/if/ [23:40] joshthec0d3r: not as far as I know [23:40] also, favro, no commands are working in the terminal [23:40] Ahadiel: yes, I did, and those repos do indeed update. [23:40] hmm, for some reason I can't access them with apt-get [23:40] sajid, No idea then. [23:40] Ahadiel: can you see if you can find sun-java6-plugin in your apt ? [23:40] favro: i opened a separate terminal and did "lbs_release -a" and it told me that i'm on hardy heron [23:40] joshthec0d3r: which mirror are you using ? [23:41] sajid: re you on amd64 ? [23:41] favro: i'm gonna go ahead and reboot. brb. [23:41] us.archive.ubuntu.com [23:41] fallore: fallore lots of luck [23:41] linxeh: yes (intel64 technically, I'm on merom) [23:41] failure is the word of the day [23:41] sajid: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4802695 [23:42] 2009 [23:42] :) [23:42] is there a way to run SAM and something like skype at the same time? [23:42] ! ubuntu archives [23:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu archives [23:42] ! archives [23:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about archives [23:42] hello [23:42] hello [23:42] Hi. [23:43] well, gotta get dinner [23:43] later all [23:43] linxeh: thanks a lot for clearing that up. that's a bit of a huge problem because my work involves developing a java applet. [23:43] My USB's keep turning off after about 30 hours of uptime, and i either have to reboot or unplug and replug in my mouse to get them to work again. [23:43] sajid: you can install the 32bit plugin and use it from firefox somehow, theres a guide somewhere [23:43] linxeh: I was just going to ask that. thanks, I'll look for that. [23:44] sajid: you could try iced-tea [23:44] sajid: sudo apt-get install icedtea-java7-plugin [23:44] How does one install Flash in Ubuntu 64? [23:45] would it be possible to dualboot ubuntu and opensuse while having the same /home partition? [23:45] I've done it at work but not at home on my new System76 Ratel value. [23:45] linxeh: do you think that's better than using the gcj plugin? [23:45] sajid: though that might be in a thirdparty repo [23:45] sajid: hell yeh :) [23:46] forget GCJ exists [23:46] is there a way to run SAM and something like skype at the same time? [23:46] the_darkside_986: should be ok [23:46] Ardjun: that could cause issues if you have 2 different versions of (an) app [23:46] I need a guide for it. [23:46] This one isn't working. [23:48] linxeh: so is icedtea some sort of wrapper for legit sun-java? its sort of important that I get the plugin closest to the official one because I need to test my plugin [23:49] my frostwire and ultamtix wont run [23:49] it wants to start but wont [23:50] sajid: icedtea is the GPL source for Java7 essentially [23:51] I'm trying to use nspluginwrapper but get this error: "nspluginwrapper: libflash.so is not a valid NPAPI plugin" [23:51] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IcedTea [23:51] any ideas? [23:51] thanks xzcvczx [23:51] linxeh: ah I see. now the problem I have is the only packages I can find are for gutsy, but I have hardy. will there be a real problem if I use the gutsy repo? [23:51] not sure, try it - you can always remove the packages [23:52] sajid: the other thing is to do the 32bit install [23:52] sajid: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 [23:52] is there a way to automatically rebuild the fstab? [23:53] sajid: I feel sad for you having to develop applets [23:54] Ardjun: though with saying that if you can change all their preferences folders you could either make a .suse and a .ubuntu folder and put each ones in there, or have them all named .blah-suse or something, but i am not sure whether everything has the support for that, the other option is some scripts which create symlinks based oon what os you boot into but it will require a lot of manual scripting [23:54] mkquist__: vi :P [23:55] My usb just turned off while i was useing my mouse, any thing i can do to check whats going on? [23:55] dabbill: dmesg mention anything? [23:55] xzcvczx: vi? [23:56] has anyone been able to get the zune to work with ubuntu, in amarok or any media player? [23:56] dabbill: from a terminal, tail /var/log/syslog [23:56] mkquist__: nm, what do you need to add to it/change in it? [23:57] xzcvczx, use 1-2 device not accepting address 6, error -62 for dmesg [23:57] hi! how can you use autocomplete in the shell which is opened at the bottom of mc (midnight commander)? because if you press TAB, the cursor/marker will jump between the panels [23:58] dabbill: tryed using a different port? preferrably a different pair of usb ports? [23:58] Slart, use 1-2 device not accepting address 6, error -62 [23:58] xzcvczx, i have does the same thing after a bit [23:59] dabbill: can you upload your dmesg log to one of the paste sites [23:59] xzcvczx: i'm not sure it's mounting everything correctly... [23:59] xzcvczx, k once sec [23:59] mkquist__: reason for thinking that?
