[00:10] xzcvczx, shutdown -h now [00:10] xzcvczx: personally I think "slay -9" sounds cooler.. but I think it's the same in the end.. signal 9 [00:10] xzcvczx: maybe a sysrq code [00:10] dabbill: yeah, it looks as though its doing resets when it shouldnt be and is therefore trying to change adress which is causing issues [00:10] th0r: lol you don't know how close i am to that [00:11] xzcvczx: Take your HDD and throw it against the wall lol [00:11] th0r: althought my computer might not boot afterwards :S [00:11] xzcvczx, it just started like last wednessday or thursday, any idea what may have caused it [00:11] debCarlos: if done hard enough my computer definately won't boot after that [00:11] is there a small .mp3 somewhere, like /usr/share, i can use to test my audio?

[00:14] ok :( [00:14] xzcvczx, well, yar -- if it's zombied it isn't using *any* CPU time, as it doesn't actually exist.

[00:22] "this should be working!" [00:22] xzcvczx, bizarre. [00:22] nDuff: any idea if its safe to just reboot the machine, as i am doing an upgrade from 7.x to 8.x at the moment [00:23] it used to be that when i selected something with my mouse, i could then middle click my mouse and paste it. that feature seems to have stopped functioning. any ideas? [00:23] xzcvczx, what's the processes parent? [00:23] xzcvczx, it may be safer to kill its parent than to reboot in the middle of an upgrade [00:23] nDuff: well its parent will most likely be the upgrade process [00:23] i wouldnt reboot in the middle of an upgrade... [00:23] anyone? [00:24] can someone help me share a folder on a ubuntu guest in virtual box? [00:24] xzcvczx, maybe, maybe not. it may be that its parent is an inconsequential preinstall or postinstall script called by the upgrade process [00:24] xzcvczx, if that's the case, killing that script is much safer than terminating the whole upgrade process [00:24] http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Electronics/Cameras/Webcams/Internet+Phone+Kit+(WebCam+%2B+Headset)+?productId=32460&noVat=0 <-- any reason why it wouldnt work?

[00:39] IndyGunFreak: absolutely not [00:39] pajamian: if you really need light, flux or e17 is proably where its at [00:39] Xubuntu was a nightmare [00:39] Cutter: either you're talking out of your backside, or you don't remember when Xfce really was light [00:40] i'm playing with anjuta, should I go with gnome, GTK, GTKmm, or wxwidgets? What's easier and has less dependencies? [00:40] no solution? it's hardcoded in to fileroller? .. damn.

[00:44] lol i have 640mb [00:44] Cutter: 3.5gigs 32bit.. [00:44] Cutter: lots, but it depends. [00:44] Windows 32 bit supports about 3Gb I think [00:44] i think 64bit, supports like 128gigs or something [00:44] works fine for me [00:45] the 32 bit server kernel will support more than 3.5 gigs, I believe. [00:45] heh my processor is ... 2.2GHZ [00:45] My old machine had only 512MB ram and 1ghz and it was... perfect lol [00:45] and, of course, 64 bit will support loads more. [00:45] Time for upgrade?

[01:07] amazingly i have already seen you say that about 30 times [01:07] trigpin: it would get rid of your user's songbird settings [01:07] trigpin: but you could recover them if it's ever necessary [01:08] trigpin: mv ~/.songbird ~/.songbird-old [01:08] i am using ubuntu intrepid alpha 3 with compiz. i can enable compiz fine, but all i can get is the 'normal' effects. if i change the effects level to 'extra' or if i try to change the settings using ccsm, my changes take no effect at all.

[02:32] nickrud i believed it is [02:32] Tom_nuggin the easiest way is to use groupadd, but I suggest just adduser timmy , repeat until done.

Then wanted debian but brainlocked at the command line after the install :) Did lfs for about a half year with mandrake gui for fallback till I could do debian [02:36] no one that know vsftpd? === Guest38008 is now known as max [02:36] hello [02:36] nickrud: heh, yeah, debian-based is different, but I didn't think that different. I've done some admin on a debian server in the past, but not lately. === max is now known as Guest42572 [02:36] nickrud, there doesn't seem to be anything of use...I'm looking for something the same as the search tool but for command line [02:36] just for control my .conf file... [02:37] where are everyone [02:37] can someone help me with a wireless problem, i took this card out of my other laptop which it worked fine with and i could go anywhere in my house but with this laptop im stuck in this room what do i do to fix it? [02:37] nickrud: but, to be honest, it was ubuntu that got me started using sudo, so now I use it on the RH based systems too. [02:37] gisli: in your internetz bllocking ur connectionz [02:37] Atomic_UE tracker-query looks like the right command, but I don't know the format for the query-file.rdf [02:37] Johnny: are you sure it's using the same card? [02:37] Lots of laptops have cards built in. [02:37] yes [02:37] theres no other card [02:37] OK. [02:38] Same antenna? [02:38] gisli: all your connectionz are belong to us. [02:38] there is no antenna [02:38] its an internal card [02:38] PCMCIA-type? [02:38] Sticks out the side?

I'm having problems printing to my Brother DCP-540CN. When I try to print it sits in the print queue on "Processing" indefinately. Can anyone help me find the problem? [02:39] i can't hear sound in the .swf's. any ideas why i can't? i'm using flashplugin non-free [02:39] Mini-pci, then. [02:39] i am trying to make a headless ubuntu server out of by laptop which lcd broke, i have everything working i think but there are two wires still sticking out of my laptop a grey and black wire, can i cut those? what will happen , what are they for? thanks in advance [02:39] OK. [02:39] Hello ! I have a problem when i log out the screen where i should enter my user name and password is 2 much to the right so i cant see what i'm typing [02:39] do enion know where i find an patch for ubuntu 8.04 to get ab 8.10 [02:39] the wires have to do with the lcd [02:40] What's likely going on is that the mini-pci cards depend on an antenna built in to the laptop by the manufacturer. There's likely no antenna on the laptop you move it to. [02:40] gisli, #ubuntu+1 [02:40] anyone ever tried LinuxTiger? [02:40] Hence the greatly reduced range.

[04:42] jack-desktop: do you have macromedia flash plugin installed/ [04:42] monstrMobile, udev doesn't have to do with boot - but I don't know much about it - there should be howtows and the channel-bot should know about it... see e.g http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ or http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html [04:43] hello all, is the IBM thinkpad laptop a intel computer, i dont know which ubuntu version to get [04:43] is there a way i can open the terminal with just my keyboard? [04:43] fallore, any reason why you need to swear every sentence? [04:43] powergoal2: the game says i need java, which other java apps work fine [04:43] i'm frustrated and it's habit, i'll try and stop. [04:43] CutMeOwnThroat - THANKS!!! [04:43] CutMeOwnThroat - I will check it out [04:43] <|Zippo|> DrRealHouse: ok... but I already have gnucash 2.2.5 (p.e.) installed [04:43] fallore, suggest you stop now before the ops decide to make you stop :) === guest is now known as Guest20550 [04:43] yeah, you can press Alt+F2 [04:43] <|Zippo|> DrRealHouse: how can I upgrade to 2.2.6 with a getdeb package? [04:43] fallore try ctrl-alt-f2 [04:44] and write down gnome-terminal [04:44] Hi all I have a question I've got an ubuntu box behind a firewall and I can get wget to work with export http_proxy, but I can not get apt-get or aptitude or synaptic to do so. Any suggestions as to where Im going wrong or things I should try? [04:44] How could I get a stable nick here ? [04:44] vhg [04:44] <|Zippo|> is there anyway? or just purging 2.2.5 and install the new one? [04:44] chengwf: register with nickserv [04:44] |Zippo|, download the deb then in terminal type dpkg -i filename.deb [04:44] Excuse me [04:44] what's recommended swap size for a lightly used server with 1GB memory? [04:44] |Zippo|, or double click the deb file on your desktop after download [04:44] chengwf: /msg nickserv help [04:44] 2-3GB [04:44] Zippo: Remove the 2.2.5 but I think that you can simply download the package and double-click on it... It will start like a setup in windows [04:44] hello all, is the IBM thinkpad laptop a intel computer, i dont know which ubuntu version to get [04:44] <|Zippo|> IdleOne: will it upgrade? [04:44] 2G it is then [04:45] |Zippo|, yes [04:45] Bhavesh, I think it's generally 2X RAM [04:45] Zippo: and update the 2.2.5 package [04:45] Zaq_unkwn: yes [04:45] Zaq_unkwn: google ibm thinkpad. but i think so [04:45] <|Zippo|> let me try [04:45] CutMeOwnThroat i will set it 2GB then [04:45] maybe I should try the export as sudo? [04:45] ok, here's a more general ubuntu-related question: how do i find out all the applications and processes taht are currently running on this pc? I need all the console based stuff, particularly, as it's pretty easy to know which gui-based apps are being used [04:45] Zaq_unkwn: most of the recent thinkpads use intel celeron m [04:45] dennda ps aux [04:45] dennister: top will show some info, alternatively ps aux will do more [04:45] dennister, type top in terminal [04:46] if it's an ibm thinkpad, it's almost assuredly x86 === Guest60531 is now known as max [04:46] Zippo: I think so, If it can't it will tell you. Worst case, you will have to remove first... [04:46] can anyone tell me how to instal firefox dor ubuntu? [04:46] were there any 64-bit ibms? I thought they were sold to lenovo by then [04:46] Does anyone remember how to add a command to the sudo list? [04:46] dennister, also ps aux in terminal [04:46] powergoal2: thx...perhaps i'll now be able to see if there are conflicts between running synthesizers [04:46] ricardo_: it's installed by default. [04:46] vipaca: visudo [04:46] Gnea: so i should get the AMD 64 and Intel computers version then ? === max is now known as Guest4841 [04:46] ricardo_, firefox comes installed default [04:46] regeya: i think you're right. [04:46] Zaq_unkwn: what's the model #? [04:47] Gnea : Z60t [04:47] Zaq_unkwn: you might be able to find some info in /proc/cpuinfo [04:47] I know but I want the new version, 3.0 [04:47] Zaq_unkwn: i know for sure my T62 is an intel [04:47] it's too late to ask but hope ext3 is ok as FS on lightly used server specially only on OS drive [04:47] ricardo - it is included by default [04:47] Gnea more info needed if I wanted to add export. [04:47] fallore: did you figure out how to paste your xorg.conf? [04:48] so, ctrl + alt + f2 got me into a text only terminal where i couldn't edit xorg.conf. alt + f2 get's me to a "run" application, i'm not sure what to do from there to either edit xorg or open a terminal. [04:48] powergoal2: i'm still figuring out how to open it without a mouse :P [04:48] ok heres the thing i already did a ubuntu install on my laptop but it failed at the grub loader part at 97% of install [04:48] but i was using the desltop version from ubuntu website [04:48] Zaq_unkwn: that it? http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-61315 [04:49] fallore: hm. if you don't have a mouse at all im not sure how you are going to paste anyway. unless you are using links and screen [04:49] fallore you can just type xterm in the run window and click ok [04:49] im still trying to install a the packet tracer file, it wont insstall. [04:49] fallore: why can't you edit xorg.conf from the ctrl+alt+f2 terminal? [04:49] Gnea: yes thats the one [04:49] qr: it's not graphical to my knowledge, and i only know the terminal command to open it graphically. [04:49] fallore: vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:49] fallore: ahh, use nano or pico or vim or emacs to edit it in a terminal [04:49] fallore: will open it in a terminal editor [04:50] fallore: I think thats the right location for xorg.conf in ubuntu... [04:50] i got a terminal open by hitting alt + f1 and navigating through the menu. now i just need to figure out what to change in my xorg.conf seeing as i accidentally pasted over the default mouse section [04:50] powergoal2: it is [04:50] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:50] Zaq_unkwn: ok, they're all 32bit [04:50] anyone know why my monitor will only display in 1280 x 1024? [04:50] can anyone tell how to install whatever in ubuntu? I cant understand, I want to install the drivers and I just dont know how to do it [04:50] i have an intel 810 chipset [04:50] hmm, my xorg.conf seems to be completely blank. wouldn't that make my keyboard stop working too? [04:51] fallore: yeah, that means you opened the wrong file, i should think [04:51] in the system update I pressed cancel by accident now a few of the packages diddnt update how can I fix it? [04:51] fallore: not in hard [04:51] papp7337: probably due to other modes not being set. have you looked at system->preferences->screen resolution? [04:51] hardy* === Guest4841 is now known as max [04:51] i'm sorry, my xchat screen is very small and i can't resize it, could you send that again (whoever that was?) [04:51] any reason for my install to fail at 97% at the grub loader part [04:51] or you can open a private dialog with me, i think i can make that work [04:51] fallore: no, it just means X won't start next time [04:51] tritium: but he wouldn't be able to run gnome or kde without an xorg, right? === max is now known as Guest89777 [04:51] powergoal2: he needs one, but in hardy, it's relatively empty [04:51] nvm i maximized it [04:52] tritium: huh... does it use some other configuration file? or what? [04:52] fallore: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <-- should generate a new xorg.conf [04:52] thanks gnea, lemme try that [04:52] Gnea: good call [04:52] yeah, i have and whenever i click any other setting (my desired setting is 1024 x 768 with an 85hz refresh), it flickers and the screen moves extremely fast horizontally [04:52] powergoal2: no, it does more auto-configuring [04:52] ive tried everything i could think of and im stuck [04:52] Anybody know why i can't get a screenshot of a movie ? [04:53] powergoal2: at least it'll get him out of that tight box [04:53] tritium: thats cool, as long as it is a good guesser... [04:53] Stargazer: use VLC , has screen cap right in it [04:53] Stargazer: you need to use a video player that can snapshot a movie to take a capture of it. VLC can do this. [04:53] powergoal2: you can still customize it [04:53] I never knew of that feature [04:53] Stargazer: by that I mean you need to use the built in snapshot feature, not that using vlc will let you screenshot it. [04:53] Stargazer: i believe mplayer can as well [04:53] where should i install my boot loader on a HDD that has 2 partitions, winXP + ubuntu, my options are HDD or sda.winxp or sda/ubuntu ? [04:54] does anyone know how to exit out of full screen mode === laras_syik_lonel is now known as laras [04:54] Tom_nuggin: f11? [04:54] Tom_nuggin full screen mode of what?

[04:54] Tom_nuggin: could you be more specific? === laras is now known as laras_syik_lonel [04:54] oh whoops [04:54] thought I was in vbox [04:54] i want ubuntu to be my boot loader [04:55] can anyone tell me how to install whatever I want in ubuntu? I need to install the drivers and I just dont know how to do it [04:55] ricardo_: what drivers do you wish to install ? [04:55] ricardo_: aptitude is the package management system for ubuntu, i believe [04:55] does anyone know how to exit fullscreen mode in vbox? [04:55] Zaq_unkwn: i would go with the default setting then [04:55] ricard0-what do you want to know how to install? [04:55] I upgraded kernel from 2.6.22-14 to 2.6.22-15 and my server crashed.

[04:55] alright will try that [04:55] brb later [04:55] powergoal2: apt-get is the more standard, although aptitude works too [04:55] Zaq_unkwn: although you may run into problems booting to xp [04:55] maybe alt+enter [04:55] dozed0nlinux --->sound === sil3nt is now known as sil3ntr [04:56] hello, does anybody know how I can change my font in alt+f1-6?

[05:17] papp7337: it's not the problem, but you have the nvidia driver intalled :) [05:17] bobertdos: yeah lol [05:17] fallore_: you're welcome, good luck :) [05:17] so i just uninstall the nvidia driver? [05:18] papp7337: yes, you should, but I don't think it would help for modesetting [05:18] arcos: not sure, as I've never done it [05:18] droopsta915, but i dont think i can chmod a-rwx / [05:18] lol [05:18] papp7337: line 838 shows that there is a modeline for the resolution. in your xorg.conf file are there lines that determine resolution? [05:18] keev, only once... only once [05:18] Tritium: well no problem, emerald looks cool, thanks for the help [05:18] papp7337: or are you running a version of ubuntu that doesn't use that xorg.conf file to that extent? [05:18] arcos if you have emerald installed, go to system > accessories and click "emerald" [05:18] powergoal2: i used to have the nvidia restricted drivers, i'm not sure if i still do but iirc that was how i got my resolution the way i wanted it. is there a way i can check if i have them, and if i do, how do i configure them? [05:18] im new to ubuntu (obviously) im using 8.04.1 [05:18] arcos then you can load your downloaded themes from there [05:19] i dont know where xorg.conf is [05:19] powergoal2: figured it out.... the uuid wasn't matching... why would the uuid change? [05:19] i am not able to change my fonts size earlier it was easy but now i am not able [05:19] fallore_: yeah, it has you using the framebuffer, and no video driver in the xorg file.

[05:37] bobertdos:earlier i was able to do that but it has stopped now [05:37] fallore: the /etc/ directory doesn't allow standard users to write to it by default [05:37] ;} [05:37] dabbu: I know, and that doesn't make any sense, so I'm having trouble coming up with anything. [05:37] powergoal2: ah that makes sense. means i have to remember my root password though :X [05:37] Is there anything like tork for GNOME ? [05:38] fallore shouldnt it be your login password?

[05:38] fallore: oh, don't login as root, run ''sudo nvidia-xconfig'' [05:39] fallore: to run that as root [05:39] Nothing about Global bugjam was posted on Ubuntu website. [05:39] so how do I make Alt+F2 bring up a run command dialog like default???? [05:39] OzFalcon: there are other forms of communication besides websites. See my question above. [05:39] dabbu: Then perhaps you should try letting Ubuntu reload one of its default themes and see if that helps. [05:40] tritium, Yeah. I only found about about it after some people posted blogs on the Planet Ubuntu. [05:40] powergoal2: thanks [05:40] OzFalcon: there are mailing lists, etc. [05:40]  bobertdos:i have changed the theme but i didn't understand what u r asking [05:40] powergoal2: restarting now [05:40] powergoal2_ ./PacketTracer5*.bin, thats what im typing [05:40] fallore: cool [05:40] droopsta915: does the name include the * ? [05:40] dabbu: Change the theme again, to one of the defaults, like Human. [05:41] tritium, Surely posting Such an even should be on a more "Notice" like position. Not just on mailing lists. (Very unprofessional) [05:41] powergoal2: bah. nvidia-xconfig ran fine and apparently changed something about my xorg.conf (as it said) but i still only have one option for resolution, and nothing else is different. [05:41] why doesnt alt+f2 bring up a run dialog on my box (not a lappy) [05:41] poergoal2_ no,I also tryed without, i figured my wildcard would work, [05:41] OzFalcon: your opinion. Others (me included) don't care to know about it. [05:42]  bobertdos:i have done that but nothing happened ...see i am going to attend my class,so i will come later if my problem is not solved..thanks 4 ur assistant [05:42] droopsta915: try typing ./Pack and hit tab to get the autocomplete to work [05:42] tritium, Have to go bavck to work. :-( [05:42] dabbu: One more thing. Try sudo apt-get purge on that package you uninstalled to make sure it's gone completely. [05:43] Bye all.

[05:44] fallore: hm the problem i am having is that im not too familiar with the way that ubuntu wants to configure things with the gui portion. [05:44] fallore: i know how xorg works with the conf, but that doesn't seem to be working with ubuntu [05:44] powergoal2: i'm gonna attempt to do some research on my own, thank you for all your help and i might be back :P [05:44] fallore: cool. good luck!

[05:45] I have a problem in showing NTFS drive partitions in Ubuntu. is there any way to fix this without logging again to Windows?? [05:46] is alt+F2 directly connected to Gnome-Panel? [05:46] yep it is [05:46] nevermind [05:46] Offline: do you have the kernel module for ntfs support installed? [05:47] does ubuntu ship with ntfs-3g? [05:47] Offline: Could you please be a little more specific? [05:47] powergoal2: Hardy Heron does come with that built-i/preinstalled, yes :) [05:47] powergoal2: yes [05:50] sometimes when I log on Ubuntu, windows drives (NTFS) disappear I dont why?? So i have to log out and log on windows and i do the CHKDSK utiliy and reboot and everything will be ok. My question is CAN i do this from Ubuntu without the need to reboot?? [05:50] thanks CutMeOwnThroat its simply by chmoding the dir to 711 [05:50] even "/" [05:51] keev: you really shouldn't muck with system dirs/files in that way. [05:51] and i am not familiar with this ntfs-3g?? [05:51] they dissapear because ntfs is left in an uncleen state when you shut down [05:51] so when linux sees them, it goes uh oh, i dont eant to damage these and refuses to mount them [05:51] Offline: are you hibernating or sleeping windows when you go to ubuntu? [05:51] Offline: holycow i would think that ubuntu would do a clean umount of mounted discs though... [05:51] tritium, i only wanted to keep users from viewing files in "/" [05:51] you can override this behaviour at risk of data loss on ntfs partitions [05:52] or [05:52] just make sure to shut downxp properly [05:52] maybe it was because of loss of power. [05:52] or [05:52] keev: you can mess up package management when you start doing things like that [05:52] just get rid of xp completely [05:52] unavailable: ah hah! thats the solution! [05:53] i just used linux one week ago. so sometimes i need windows. [05:53] tritium, so do you think im safe with chmod 711 / [05:53] powergoal2: i read an article on a computer that was infected with windows soo bad the nsa said it should be formatted, disassembled and lifted with one of those big car magnets at the junkyard [05:53] because i've already done it :( no turning back now [05:53] hello [05:54] keev: I believe so, but can't guarantee [05:54] unavailable: hahaha [05:54] End of last week, Windows was kind enough to give me the annual ?Blue Screen of Somehow I Screwed Up My Own Internals I Hope You Weren?t Doing Any Real Important Work Because You?ll Have to Reinstall the Operating System of Death.? [05:54] seems to be running smooth but we'll see. [05:54] thanks tritium! [05:54] :) [05:54] powergoal2: they went on to say that a computer infected with windows should always be unplugged from the phone, cable, heck even the a/c wall outlet to be sure no infection spreads [05:54] hey.. in terminal u use "command >file" but what if I want the output to go to file AND to show up on screen? [05:54] ok i am trying to run the live cd on my toshiba A215 and it wont load becasue it cant decetcd a monitor and i am usin a ATI 94c9 chip [05:54] i need help...im in kde...and I did something, not sure what, but now my desktop seems to be extended outside of the monitor viewing range, and i have to move the mouse to an edge and it like scrolls to the edge of the desktop, how do I fix this? [05:54] thanks guys. [05:54] see u soon [05:55] unavailable: it would a scary day when windows begins to replicate itself through the internet.. [05:55] rofl [05:55] i have a nvidia gforece 8800gts...and am trying to get dual monitors working [05:55] powergoal2: windows update? [05:55] powergoal2: i think the problem is that my nvidia drivers somehow became undone. do you know of a way to check if they're still installed/reinstall them? [05:55] aaronwi, must be nice bro :) [05:55] Offline: Yes, it was because of the power loss. When a Windows partition does not unmount properly (or in other words, when Windows crashes), Ubuntu will not mount it because the flag still indicates that the partition is busy.

[05:56] unavailable, no compiz...brand new kubuntu install, and no one is alive in the kubuntu channel [05:56] bobertdos: thanks for your info because i was wondering why. i will reboot now and try to fix it. [05:56] and also, is there a netbook remix irc channel anywhere? [05:57] Offline: You can work around it sometimes by using the terminal to mount it forcefully. [05:57] aaronwi try holding random buttons and scrolling in or out [05:57] bobertdos: how??

[06:07] hi, when I perform a restart I receive some messages(error or warning) but isn't possible to memorize them, visualization is too fast. Is there a log file where to see them?

OMG!!!" but it's nice to see the ops can bag a real troll sometimes [06:13] AlmightyCthulhu, we give people enough rope, then do the obvious with it... [06:14] guest,what is the problem? [06:14] well package install errors......but thats unrelated to my initial problem...getting 3d enabled...then extending my desktop to the 2nd monitor [06:14] aaronwi: you can look up the error message. [06:14] ya..i did and just found other people's error logs, which are useless to me [06:14] aaronwi: ok, what video card do you have? [06:14] aaronwi: what graphics card? [06:14] Guest93128: With Ubuntu you only have to type and install, you don't have to look for the installer, just sudo aptitude install program [06:14] powergoal2: jinx :) [06:14] hmm all i had to do was enable restricted drivers [06:14] nvidia 8800gts 320mb [06:14] hypa7ia: :) [06:14] apt-get rocks [06:14] aaronwi: try doing and apt-get clean [06:14] aaronwi: so look up "linux nvidia 880gts 3d" [06:14] that works sometimes [06:15] aaronwi: maybe even throw in ubuntu [06:15] :[ [06:15] hi, when I perform a restart I receive some messages(error or warning) but isn't possible to memorize them, visualization is too fast. Is there a log file where to see them? [06:16] If Linux has a weakness, it's that it won't protect itself from the user [06:16] lonejack: dmesg probably [06:16] lonejack: either dmesg or /var/log/messages [06:16] I even managed to remove a shared library that RPM needed once [06:16] lonejack: run "dmesg|less" in a terminal [06:16] AlmightyCthulhu: Please take chatter elsewhere, thanks. [06:16] so what do i do about the failed package install...i cant remove it either now [06:16] lonejack: see what you get in there. and /var/log/messages will work if you have a syslog installed and running before the error comes up [06:16] AlmightyCthulhu: that had to be some feat on ubuntu [06:17] nobody likes a smartass [06:17] AlmightyCthulhu: ;-) [06:17] thx,powergoal,you beat me to that one [06:17] as far as that goes however, you can install RPM on Ubuntu [06:17] AlmightyCthulhu, you haven't seen someone here ranting about not being allowed to muck around in /, have you? *nix protects itself fairly well... [06:17] so, no-one knows about a netbook remix irc channel? [06:18] once you prefix a command with sudo, there's no stopping you [06:18] hypa,did you do a channel search? [06:18] well google was useless...just discouraged me more, seeing all the problems people are having [06:18] sudo is like enableing godmode and noclip in doom. [06:18] powergoal2: Igramul: thank you [06:18] hi all [06:19] aaronwi, some graphics cards hate Linux. That's true of most hardware - some of it sucks. [06:19] I was about to answer Madpilot with the command that removes all files and directories recursively without asking [06:19] There are 4 sata harddrives on my computer. Three of them usually show up in the /media folder as /media/disk-1 (2 or 3). But if a USB drive is inserted, their disk number may change. This confuses my backup script. Is there a better way to reference these drives? [06:19] AlmightyCthulhu: You'd be promptly removed [06:19] suppose i want to convert a .mp4 movie to .avi... how would i go about doing this? [06:19] yes...but seeing others problems still doesnt help me in the basic install of the cards drivers or getting 3d working [06:19] AlmightyCthulhu, writing "that command" in this channel *will* get you booted, just FYI [06:20] i have a small problem [06:20] lat, to my knowledge the disk renumbering cannot be worked around thru a script [06:20] I know, and there's always someone stupid enough to copy paste things they don't understand [06:20] lat: Disklabels might help you [06:20] aaronwi: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 [06:20] aaronwi: that might be useful [06:20] aaronwi,which video board do you have? [06:20] shahalam:what's the problem [06:20] my sound quality is effected once i install nvidia driver [06:21] the videos are corrupt [06:21] after the installation of nvidia driver [06:21] aaronwi: nvidia 8800gts 320mb [06:21] no nvidia 6150 [06:21] Igramul, thanks! I'll google Disklabels. [06:21] lat: these disks will always have the same name in /dev/, so if you define the mountpoint in /etc/fstab it will be constant [06:21] does envy set up the drivers correctly for you? [06:22] !envy | moshe [06:22] moshe: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [06:22] i use the flashing hardware driver icon [06:22] lat: no problem - I'm not very familiar with disk labels myself... [06:22] the restricted driver [06:22] !disklabels | lat [06:22] Factoid disklabels not found [06:22] flannel, I was aware of envyng,just trying to assist [06:22] !disklabel | lat [06:22] Factoid disklabel not found [06:22] I suggest using Envy because Ubuntu ships with old drivers that are full of bugs and don't work with new cards [06:22] lol [06:22] Guest93128: Windows 3.0 will make you kill the computer [06:23] aaronwi: It's supposed to mean that dpkg returned error code (1) :) [06:23] moshe: Don't use envy. period. [06:23] ok [06:23] I think he did a rm -rf / in his mind (Gues9.... ) [06:23] AlmightyCthulhu: Apt-get clean will only remove packages in /var/cache/apt/archives [06:23] lonejack: Something about the network manager ? [06:23] how does that help me, i dont know shit [06:23] Hi, I was wondering where I could get the configure and compile time options used to make the standard ubuntu dpkgs? [06:23] powergoals, how do I define them? [06:23] I do not use it. I have envyng installed and use it [06:23] (I need to compile a slightly modified application and get the binary as close as possible to the one that is installed) [06:24] the politically correct Ubuntu kick, yay [06:24] lat: well, you put in a line:
[06:24] i guess i need legasy drivers [06:24] AlmightyCthulhu: Please take non-support talk elsewhere, thanks. [06:24] lat: and it does what you need it to do based on that [06:24] may be 9.xx series on nvidia website ? [06:24] Does anyone know how to export variables for sudo account? [06:24] legacy drivers are Geforce 5 and lower [06:24] oh ok [06:25] be advised, there is a confirmed bug for the -20 kernal in ref to Nvidia [06:25] Nvidia has to keep Geforce 6 in it's normal driver pack, because all their integrated stuff is Geforce 6 based [06:25] powergoals, ok. Many thanks! [06:25] its a nvidia 6150 on a gigabyte motherboard with 128 mb memory [06:25] vipaca: i think that if you export a variable its systemwide, so if you are a root or standard user, the variable is defined the same [06:25] but iw works fine on suse 11 [06:25] lat: you're welcome. also lookup fstab if you need more info [06:26] shahalam: The Nvidia Linux driver does weird things on integrated Geforces [06:26] !fstab | lat [06:26] lat: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [06:26] you're always better off with a dedicated card, even if it's a cheapie 7300LE or something [06:26] ok [06:27] ubot3, thanks for that link! [06:27] lat: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:27] so its better not to install the driver on ubuntu 8.04 [06:27] thx www.real.com [06:27] shahalam: The open source NV driver is all kinds of bad [06:27] thanks AlmightyCthulhu [06:28] if you have Nvidia anything, you want their proprietary drivers [06:28] lat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive [06:28] atleast it plays videos and mp3 properly [06:28] lat: This should explain all you need. [06:28] the open source nv driver [06:28] shahalam: The problems the binary driver has with the integrated Radeon mainly have to do with refresh rates [06:28] be advised, there is a confirmed bug for the -20 kernal in ref to Nvidia [06:28] be advised, there is a confirmed bug for the -20 kernal in ref to Nvidia [06:28] be advised, there is a confirmed bug for the -20 kernal in ref to Nvidia [06:29] Igramul, thanks again! [06:29] scorch__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:29] the NV driver that Ubuntu ships with is 2d only, doesn't even accelerate that very well, and usually won't suspend or resume right [06:30] hello how can i check if compiz is going to work? [06:30] turn it on? [06:30] haha yep [06:31] HELP i used this url: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491 as a reference as to which processes to turn off in BUM but now i cannot access the repos at all!!! What can i do? [06:31] pallu, what video card do you have (model and number) [06:32] I got sound working for Flash on my machine however sometimes the sound still cuts out. Restarting FF doesn't restore sound in Flash. Anyone know about this? [06:32] ok so i found the nivida generic x64 driver...im trying to install it and it says im running an x server....and that i should close it....whats an x server and how do i close it? [06:32] intet i810 [06:32] pallu: I wouldn't recommend Compiz if you play video games [06:32] I have the problem that when I setup http_proxy [06:32] it massively kills your framerate [06:32] it will work for wget but not for apt-get [06:32] i just want to try it [06:32] pallu, that will be able to do compiz, though not all the fancy effects such as fire without difficulty [06:33] I need to do some regex/sed/tr-fu [06:33] aye, but you can disable the compositor [06:33] OpenSolaris has the best default Compiz settings I've ever seen [06:33] I have a bnch of lines ending with "each:" and a newline, and a bunch of lines ending with a newline after a filename [06:33] you can have your cake, and eat it too...just remember to disable compositing before firing up a game [06:33] I need to yank the newlines after the "each:" but not the other ones [06:33] my own experience is that I certainly don't notice a drop...on this machine. :-> my old machine, though, was horrible. [06:34] What's yank ? [06:34] delete [06:35] ok [06:35] debCarlo1: as in sed "s/each:\n/each: /" [06:35] except sed won't do that, becase it's "line-based" [06:35] Yeah, i thinked about sed too [06:35] Overand: sed -e '/each:$/N;s/\n *//' [06:36] ah! [06:36] who creates the packages for ubuntu? [06:36] Overand: i think that will work, but im not sure [06:36] !motu | dzhkh [06:36] dzhkh: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [06:36] Desktop effects could not be enabled [06:36] powergoal2: it seems to be 100% perfect [06:37] Overand: superb [06:37] pallu, where did you get this message [06:37] What is the function of the directory /usr/share/hotkey-setup? What programs do use it? [06:37] bullgard4: there is likely a program called hotkey-setup [06:37] !dash [06:37] /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [06:38] !hotkey-setup [06:38] Factoid hotkey-setup not found [06:38] !mediakeys [06:38] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [06:38] Visual Effects tab on appearence [06:39] ubot3: why dash? why not bash? [06:39] why: A software verification tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.04.dfsg-3 (hardy), package size 4383 kB, installed size 11544 kB [06:39] pallu, you should ask in #compiz-fusion about that card [06:39] lol [06:39] ari_stress dash is faster than bash [06:40] hi, quick silly question: what is meant by 8.04.01, i.e., what does the .01 (or +1) signify? [06:40] yeah [06:40] Good question [06:40] sexcopter: security updates [06:40] sexcopter: 8.04.1 is the first point release, it has updated packages and updated installer [06:40] sexcopter: it's 8.04.1, but it's just a new image made about a month after release [06:41] hey guys, sorta new on here.. who knows how to get onto the azureus server? [06:41] powergoal2: Yes, there is. -- Thank you very much for your help. [06:41] so that you can avoid some of the updates when doing installs from the CD [06:41] sexcopter: If you install 8.04 and then update from the repos, you'll get to 8.04.1 (and in a few months, 8.04.2) [06:41] bullgard4: you're welcome [06:41] hi debCarlo1, have u managed to undelete your /home [06:41] pallu, the intel i810 should be able to do compiz; got it going here a while back [06:41] ari_stress: no lol [06:41] ari_stress: I gived up [06:41] ari_stress: ext3grep did a lot of work [06:41] debCarlo1: you deleted /home ?! [06:41] http://www.transavia.co.id/ <= sapa mau pesen tiket pesawat gratis :P [06:42] ari_stress: But only recovered folders, no files === bstempi_ is now known as bstempi [06:42] hello all, i'm here to help, does anyone need help?? [06:42] debCarlo1: i have a better one for you: 2 years ago i accidentally formatted the wrong partition of my hd, losing 300GB of movies/music/etc. [06:42] wtf... allnet... sorry guyz... [06:42] What is the Ubuntu command-line utility to download security updates? [06:42] i have read motu but still cannot find the commands used to create particular packages [06:42] (I'm running ubuntu server, so can't run synaptic) [06:42] powergoal2: No, yesterday i was helping someone and for some reason i was going to erase files on my pendrive and did a mistake... executing rm -rf * in my ~/ [06:42] Martyn: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:43] debCarlo1: yeah, that sucks. [06:43] debCarlo1: please don't say anything that resembles that command here. [06:43] powergoal2: lol, but i think you can recover a partition right ? [06:43] debCarlo1: i have another link that is very good: http://www.osnews.com/story/20061/Recover_Deleted_Files_in_EXT3_ext3undel [06:43] ahhh .. dist-upgrade is used for security updates as -well- as general package updates [06:43] to Flannel and crdlb, thanks for the answer. so is there a schedule/rhythm to these point releases? or just when it seems appropriate? [06:43] debCarlo1: well, you usually can, but the way that i had done it, i changed the partition type from ext3 to reiserfs, and i couldn't find anything about recovering that [06:43] Flannel: Ok [06:43] Martyn: Yeah, they all come through the repos [06:43] Is there a way to /only/ get the security updates? [06:44] sexcopter: They occur on LTSs, every six months, with an offset of three months from the initial release. [06:44] powergoal2: Yeah.... and you know the worst, my backup was in the usb drive i formatted just a minutes before deleting home [06:44] http://pastie.org/252061 [06:44] sexcopter, security updates are released as security issues are found [06:44] just doesn't make sense to me [06:45] I guess Ill be installing everything from source? [06:45] debCarlo1: ouch...

[06:46] powergoal2: lol, yeah. But i only lost one week, i had a old backup in Vista [06:46] vipaca: What version of Ubuntu are you using? and are you connected to the internet? [06:46] Flannel: i see, thanks, I was just curious! [06:46] vipaca: did you mess up your apt sources file? [06:46] herion [06:46] debCarlo1: ok, that isn't too bad the [06:46] n [06:46] powergoal2: yep, [06:47] I don't think so, I am behind a firewall perhaps I may have [06:47] vipaca: sudo apt-get update first, then try again [06:47] is anyone else seeing bad keys on the security.ubuntu.org server? [06:47] took me three tries to get a good key [06:47] kaminsky to blame? [06:47] can someone tell me if im correct about this setting for my ubuntu server? i use it just for share files at home i dont know much about servers http://paste.ubuntu.com/37050/ === cragos is now known as MrZaius [06:48] its sitting at 0% [06:48] Hi there! I'm trying to play some videos with mplayer but I'm not able to get the "xv" (X11/xv) driver to work. (gl works but the performance is bad). "xvinfo" tells me "no adaptors present". I'm using a Radeon X1600 with fglrx. [06:48] Now i formatted my usb drive and write a script to make a backup every day lol [06:48] vipaca: then you're having connection issues [06:48] Im using http_proxy [06:48] vipaca: either on your end, or the mirror's [06:48] which works for wget [06:49] but its seems to not work so well with apt-get or aptitude [06:49] yadame: you might try editing your ~/.mplayer/config file and putting in a line that says vo=gl2 [06:49] yadame: see if it improves your output [06:49] any applications out there you can use to generate a mySQL schema diagram from an existing db? [06:49] powergoal2: Already tried gl2, too and the performance is even worser. But thanks for the tip! [06:50] yadame: and you cant get xv to work? [06:50] powergoal2: Yep, mplayer complains about the missing video output. the xv-extension is loaded during the xorg-startup but xvinfo is telling me "no adaptors present". [06:51] yadame: hahaha i tried to pass vo xv to my mplayer and it crashed my xserver [06:51] powergoal2: uh :( [06:51] p4_xxx, the rules on lines 13-15 are redundant otherwise, it's fine [06:51] yadame: i don't really know what to tell you, sorry [06:52] powergoal2: no problem, thank you for your time =) [06:52] good luck [06:52] alright all, I'm out. [06:52] hi how do i check for what bit system i have 32/64 [06:52] is the mac addresss used for security? [06:52] hsteve, uname -m [06:52] thanks [06:52] hsteve, dpkg --print-architecture [06:53] p4_xxx, not primarily, though it can be used in security [06:53] unop, that's a nice trick good to know dpkg can do it too [06:53] i686 is which 32 or 64 [06:53] hsteve, 32 [06:53] Ok, i'm going to try the ext3undel thing ari_stress [06:53] hsteve, 32 [06:54] k [06:54] it just took me three tries to get a valid apt-get update [06:54] yayz shitty third world ISPs and their transparent proxies [06:54] ah ok thank you [06:54] infinitycircuit, yea, there's a whole load of useful things you can do with all the dpkg* and apt* utilities [06:54] are there reported cases of DNS cache poisoning attacks targetting debian/ubuntu repos? [06:55] http://pastie.org/252063 === webcam is now known as Archess [06:55] kinda ironic that at the end it suggest that perform the command that just failed [06:55] maybe I should open a case seems like a bug [06:55] unop, i must say my favorite part of dpkg/apt is probably intregration with stuff like git-buildpackage [06:56] MrZaius, not that I've ever heard. That sort of thing would be big news in linux, we need our trusted repos! [06:56] why can't i use debian repo? [06:57] because Ubuntu isn't Debian? [06:57] Are there any good deb sites like dag for rpm or can I goto the ubuntu sites directly [06:57] it ubuntu is debian derivative [06:58] nasi_padang, yes [06:58] vipaca, packages.ubuntu.com [06:58] unop, 'yes' what? [06:58] nasi_padang, "derivative" is the key word there [06:59] nasi_padang, yes, ubuntu is a debian derivative .. but it is not debian [06:59] ubot3, debian | nasi_padang [06:59] nasi_padang: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [07:00] why can mepis use debian repo?

[07:03] you cant make cron exec on command, its a timed thing always correct? [07:03] is there a way to make it so that when you click for example the firefox address bar once the whole line will be highlighted (like in windows)? [07:03] CutMeOwnThroat, no thanks, and I'll pass on a meat pie, too... [07:03] fallore, ctrl+l :) [07:04] fallore: or tripple-click ;) [07:04] unop: yeah i've gotten used to it but it would be nice if i didn't have to shortcut around it [07:04] will i try to set arabic in setting [07:04] doesnt work [07:04] or click + ctrl a, or double click, etc [07:04] i know there are other ways to do it :P [07:04] mrtubby, oh, you want someone to call it and it runs as root? just set the suid-bit - but take care, it can easily be a barn-door with a sign "hackers enter here" [07:04] anyone run a q6600 [07:04] CutMeOwnThroat, the setuid bit has no effect on scripts [07:05] unop, definitely not true for perl [07:05] CutMeOwnThroat, even for perl [07:05] CutMeOwnThroad: yea, it makes me nervous, soo a chmod 4500 ought to get the thing done [07:05] mrtubby, it won't [07:06] ari_stress: lol, it is working :') [07:06] so does xchat have arabic support ? [07:06] i mean it really suck that i cant read arabic [07:06] unop, wrong suidperl takes care of it if the bit itself doesnt have an effect [07:06] bader_, you might like to ask someone in #ubuntu-sa [07:07] unop, but you're right for bash scripts... wasn't aware this was switched on [07:08] Is there a nice guide somewhere for using Compiz with Ubuntu (I have an nVidia card and am just installing Ubuntu) [07:09] if i managed to follow the conversation properly it would work if my script was in perl not bash? [07:09] ce_uculd [07:10] its funny that i enter this server and i can read arabic . but when i enter other server i cant [07:10] lol what happen [07:10] ^^ [07:10] CutMeOwnThroat, try it out. echo -e '#!/usr/bin/perl \n print "$>"' \n print `whoami`' > /tmp/setuid_test; sudo chown root.root /tmp/setuid_test; sudo chmod +sx /tmp/setuid_test; /tmp/setuid_test [07:11] unop, hm - I have a script "sd" on my laptop that lets a normal user execute "shutdown -hf now" as root ...

[07:12] is tehre a way to enable a second monitor as an extended desktop in xorg.conf? [07:12] Igramul: Yeah, ubottu is dead for a while, try with ubot3 [07:12] unop, might not be possible to run suid-stuff from /tmp, , though [07:13] I'm attempting to use my built-in webcam on my laptop, and I can't find any generic drivers for webcams, and I don't know where to look, any1 got any ideas? [07:13] Igramul: ubottu has the evening off [07:13] CutMeOwnThroat, well, if the perl 'executable' (note, i don't say script) - uses a setreuid call, then the setuid bit has effect .. but perl cheats then .. it's making a system call which is not the norm for scripts [07:13] !twinview | aaronwi [07:13] aaronwi: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display.

But I imagine so.

[08:07] !anyone | QAH [08:07] QAH: 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? [08:07] I dropped to shell and typed get-apt update and came up with all kinds of errors like using old files. ?? [08:07] Ha ha Okay [08:08] bazhang: so you think that i'd have no problem setting up triple boot on my macbook black? [08:08] yeah [08:08] bazhang: the black one [08:08] ross, depends on you; many have done so, but not sure how you'll do :) [08:08] bazhang: lol ok [08:09] I have windows as my main os, and I have ubuntu as a multiboot option. Everytime I start up in ubuntu and come back to windows, my windows time is messed up. I had looked it up and they said that you have to configure ubuntu to work with the time format that windows supports. How to I do this? [08:09] :) [08:09] I don't understand using old files error. I'm using an official Ubuntu cd that came from the Netherlands [08:09] bazhang: i just googled for it and i found that most people set up triple boot on macbook pros and not the regular ones [08:09] i've had trouble now in 2 out of 2 cases of trying to install 3rd party software by adding repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list. I add the provided gpg keys, seemingly with no trouble, do apt-get update, then install the package, but get the "cannot be authenticated" warning. Any idea what i might have missed? what can I do to diagnose the problem? [08:09] QAH: windows and linux uses the internal clock differently [08:09] bazhang: that's why i wanted to know if triple boot is something that will be workable under the regular macbooks [08:09] ross people do both [08:10] ozzie212: are you currently logged in to a ubuntu console session? [08:10] Slart: You are right because ubuntu changes my system time. How can I stop this if I can. [08:10] QAH: I think linux keeps the clock at greenwich time and calculates local time when it needs it.. windows sets the internal clock to local time directly [08:10] bazhang: ok thanks [08:10] no xp using icechat [08:10] np [08:10] can I login to ubuntu using failsafe and still use irc [08:10] QAH: I don't really know if there is a switch somewhere.. you could just set both operating systems to update the clock using ntp.. that way it will fix itself shortly after booting [08:11] oh okay [08:11] ozzie212: you can, but it may be a pain if you're not familiar with irc on the console. [08:11] Is there a standard way to see what configure options a package maintainer uses for a given source package? [08:11] So there isn't any way to make ubuntu use local time? [08:11] ozzie212: you can pastebin log files from there though, and chat on your XP [08:11] QAH: there is. [08:11] How? [08:11] how do I pastebin [08:12] !pastebin | ozzie212 [08:12] ozzie212: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:12] ozzie212: the problem seems to have to do with X, since you can login to console. an easy way to pastebin will be to install the 'pastebinit' package when logged into ubuntu === pawan_ is now known as pawan [08:12] ozzie212: i can tell you how to install it and how to pastebin some log files from there, without using irc === ned- is now known as ned [08:13] all right I'll give that a shot prince-jammys [08:13] can i install a rpm in ubuntu? and how do it? [08:13] I*? [08:13] !alien | aaronwi [08:13] aaronwi: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [08:13] Flannel: How can I change the ubuntu clock to use localtime like windows?

[08:45] How can i navigate to network-the other pc via the menus in hubackup?? [08:46] it gives access to the "filessystem" but where does one find networked directories in there?? [08:46] What do i need to set up on Ubuntu so that python smtplib.py works? [08:46] I installed sendmail, what should I do next? [08:46] shabda, install the python libraries that you need [08:47] frybye, use mount to see what is mounted where [08:47] ok thanks... [08:47] frybye, will usually be in /mnt or /media [08:47] does anyone know how i can look up how to fix this error? (i'm making a livecd) http://i35.tinypic.com/2v3g3fo.jpg [08:47] frybye, no problem [08:47] mrynit: The libs are already installed in python standard library, http://docs.python.org/lib/module-smtplib.html [08:48] How do I configure Python to use sendmail? [08:48] point the application to that directory? [08:48] ask in python? [08:49] DistroJockey: I see nothing in that about the other pc/dir?? [08:49] anyone know how i can mount bin/cue disk images? [08:49] a while ago I asked about mounting a network drive (from OS X) so that it looks like a directory on ubuntu [08:49] the icon for it is on my desktop - but when I look in the hubackup there the entry is not shown.. [08:49] someone helped me out but I can't for the life of me remember what the command was [08:49] something with "ftp" in it I think [08:50] frybye, can you check the Properties of that icon and see where it points to? [08:50] thanks... [08:50] Matt____, the command should still be in your bash history in the terminal type "history" [08:50] Chris|: lemme try but I think this is a different virtual machine [08:51] hey guys, is there a command to increase/decrease volume running a command? [08:51] Matt____, ah, do the history command on the machine you did the command on [08:51] yeah, not there [08:51] I guess I'll launch the other VM [08:51] I feel senile for not remembering this [08:51] increase lvm volume? [08:51] problem is I only did it once like 2 months ago [08:52] chuy_max, yes "amixer -q set Master 10+ unmute" for volume up and "amixer -q set Master 10- unmute" [08:52] for volume down [08:52] cool, thanks Chris| [08:53] DistroJockey: - strange - it says for location -in words(!) "on the Desktop" - not something like /home/ron/Desktop - just the words (in German here..) "on the Desktop" under access rights - "cannot be determined" [08:53] hi [08:54] DistroJockey: btw - I am a Brit. living in Germany and generally better here than in #unbutu-de [08:54] I need to setup IE in ubuntu [08:54] prince jammy's I am completely lost here. [08:54] frybye, yeah, wasn't sure if that was possible. I'm attempting to get a similar icon [08:55] I guess within the "file system" mounted directories on networked pcs show up someplace within the structure.. where would that be??? [08:55] Can you give me those instructions again. I tried to get to paste bin but not even going to pretend to know anything aobut it [08:55] like at /usr/bin/ etc etc.. is there a location where I can expect to find a munted external home net dir? [08:56] ozzie212: you're back [08:56] ozzie212: i thought your windows xp was on a separate computer [08:56] yeah but lost as ever. [08:56] no dual boot [08:56] I need to setup IE in ubuntu [08:56] xp is on MBR [08:57] ozzie212: so you're chatting from xp right now, and ubuntu is booted to a console? [08:57] is it possible to bridge virtual ethernet interfaces (ex: eth0:1)? [08:57] ozzie212: in the other computer? [08:57] frybye, so it won't let you go outside filesystem (as that's where the share shows up in Places - Computer) ? [08:57] ozzie212: oh, i missed the dual boot. use my nick in the messages, you can autocomplete it [08:57] No one computer. XP on C: Ubuntu on E: [08:58] no just my own /home/ron/download and "other" which gives the "file system" but not computer or network etc.. = crazy.. the sort of stuff that turns ppl off linux to be honest... [08:58] ozzie212: one thing you could do is boot to ubuntu from the live cd and chat on irc from there. then you could easily pastebin the logs and someone might be able to help [08:59] frybye, yeah, does make it tricky. I'm looking into it. [08:59] of course if i had loads more background knowledge there are great command line backup utilities.. [08:59] that would work - except where is the irc program [08:59] frybye, still need to know where to copy to from the command line [09:00] normally I tend tu use a cd with accronis backup on it - but the eeepc does not have a cd drive and i dont (yet-) have an extern. one.. [09:00] ozzie212: i think it's in the menus. [09:00] Again please excuse my retardendess [09:00] shure... [09:00] THANK YOU. I'll be back on live CD [09:00] ozzie212: i don't use gnome, so i don't remember what program it is [09:00] what's the irc client that comes with the live cd? [09:01] pidgin? xchat? [09:01] ozzie212: probably one of those two [09:01] prince_jammys, pidgin [09:01] ozzie212: there you go [09:01] DistroJockey: I have just realized that i dont really have time for this right now - can i give you my email adds in a pm and when you have something for me - that would be cool ok? [09:02] sorry I pressed the wrong button and got logged off [09:02] frybye, yeah, that's fine. I'm interested in finding a solution to this myself now :) [09:02] ozzie212: the irc program on the live cd is called 'pidgin' [09:02] TY [09:02] I'll be back [09:02] How do I restart sounds?

[10:58] hi all [10:58] its not working [10:58] zatoino, yes, and the same apps used to open simultaneously before and eclipse worked! [10:58] gvk, nautilus running as root will take ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts to /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts [10:58] gvk: still doesnt work [10:58] Is the directory ~/Desktop localized or is it always the same name? === iiska_ is now known as iiska [10:58] nando: try : mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 [10:58] DistroJockey: this list sucks [10:58] alraune: im running on wubi but ive used a previous wubi install and it worked fine [10:58] kinnu: use gksudo nautilus /home/[username]/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts [10:58] nando: uhmm , wubi [10:59] nando: try : mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 [10:59] gvk, why are you suggesting he do that? he doesn;t need to if he is accessing his own directories [10:59] ubuntu does some dumb shit [10:59] Dazed: why [10:59] im looking at workspace 1, click firefox, and it opens in workspace 2 [10:59] ? [10:59] how NICE [10:59] zatoino, and those apps aren't really heavy! I tried turning off graphical effects but still the same [10:59] why don't you shut up?

[11:00] i just woke up and am cranky [11:00] prince_jammys: sudo wine :-D [11:00] sorry [11:00] wanted to bitch [11:01] zatoino, I did restart and open it immediately [11:01] alraune: BTW ive played a music cd in songbird and burned a CD too... [11:01] nando: k, so basically its working [11:01] unggnu: where can i do that? [11:01] Dazed: Doesn't happen to me, but it could be because you last closed Firefox on workstation 2 and Gnome remembers and tries to guess you'll want it there again [11:01] and I've been waiting for 10 minutes now and it didn't open [11:01] sajuuk: Preferences - Appearance - Desktop effects [11:01] When do packages from intrepid migrate to hardy? [11:01] jmd: never [11:02] jmd: you migrate to Hardy if the time is ready [11:02] zatoino, can't there be something like freeing memory or smth that can make it easier? [11:02] alraune: no its not [11:02] nando: i don't know if we mounted dvd or cd , but one of them you should be able to use now, have a cd handy ? [11:02] alraune: yeah [11:02] natalisushka, did your /etc/hosts file change? [11:02] alraune: like a CD-R? [11:02] now what the heck [11:02] nando: try : mount /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 [11:02] cant find the directory [11:02] So what happens if the old package needs to be updated? [11:02] Dazed: And in any case, you shouldn't lay any problem in Linux at the feet of "Ubuntu". It's the distro, not everything inside of it. [11:02] ok thx unggnu [11:03] natalisushka: Try not opening it immediately after you boot. Try and wait a few minutes. I have the same problem with Outlook. [11:03] nando: written cd handy ? [11:03] * Dazed shakes his fist angrily at the sky. [11:03] alraune: says no media found [11:03] DistroJockey, How do I know if it changed? and what do you mean by that? What can happen if it changed? [11:03] alraune: yeah i got one inside [11:03] Hi, I want to set up a VPN server on my Ubuntu server machine but can't seem to find any good tutorials on how to do so. It has to be L2TP, PPTP or IPSec (whichever is most secure, if possible). OpenVPN isn't an option as the devices I wish to use it on do not support it. [11:03] Damn you gods of linux! [11:03] ffs [11:03] nando: written cd handy ? put a written cd in both drives [11:03] zatoino, Outlook? Are you using windows? [11:03] Dazed: The only thing you can blame Ubuntu for is using Gnome and you can't complain much since there's always Kubuntu [11:03] dazed: maybe you run KDE? I would but KDE doesn't see my memory sticks [11:04] alraune: done... [11:04] natalisushka, date stamp will tell you. Bad /etc/hosts file can cause long startup delays for some programs [11:04] i know nothing about kde [11:04] nor does it see my german keyboard...

[11:04] DistroJockey, actually my system hangs for a long time while booting. I don't know why! How can I fix that? [11:04] alraune: so its like the second drive is working for me [11:04] nando: mount /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 [11:04] Dazed: give it a whirl [11:04] How to determine if my kernel is compiled with AES cryptography? I have just dowanloaded hardy server [11:04] the background customisation is really sweet [11:04] Dazed: Don't know. I prefer Gnome.

Everytime I plug my earphone line in before boot, if I play some music the front would also play too [12:12] dlemcoe: why? [12:12] how do I fix this? [12:12] Because it told me too [12:12] dlemcoe: as in why do you compile pygtk yourself? [12:12] I have serious issues. GDM wont work.

[12:18] Hondo_Kitsune: what irritates us are vague and useless "problem descriptions" [12:18] wols_: that I know, but in hm Debian there was a debconf dialog where you could choose country and even override things... [12:18] pbn: not anymore. apt-setup is long gone in debian [12:18] wols_: glad yur still here. inet died for a few min. i changed it to nv and it didn't fix the problem. however, i also checked on my desktop which is using an ati chipset... and the same problem occurs. this computer currently has compiz off and the problem still occurs. could there be some option i need to change? [12:19] wols_: I can't get any more detailed than I have given you [12:19] pbn: apt-spy and netselect-apt might be available [12:19] Hondo_Kitsune: maybe you could give us a detailed asl? [12:19] that would be cool =) [12:19] *facepalm* [12:19] DRLD: it actually shouldn't happen. especially not across different hardware [12:20] simoncpu: Eh, not applicable to the task at hand [12:20] DRLD: but I dunno what could be it. driver or compiz are the most likely culprits I'd said [12:20] http://pastebin.ca/1169547 Hey, don't want to interupt, but what's goin' on here? [12:20] wols_: a friend said it may be a problem with xgl... i know it's vague but do you have any idea what he might be talking about? [12:21] DRLD: xserver-xgl, if you have that still installed, uninstall it [12:21] it makes some cards (mainly ati with fglrx) compiz capable but has various drawbacks [12:21] nao sei nem como usar essa parada [12:21] i got a problem with ubuntu hardy, when the laptop starts it stops to Kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuid/.....

[12:24] hi [12:24] dabbu: "free professional support" is an oxymoron [12:25] tonisius: solid state [12:25] Vixus: not really an option ;) [12:25] wols_: a card reader is faster than the disk? what kind of card reader? [12:25] i want "free professional" [12:25] Does anyone know when Ubuntu will upgrade to Lyx 1.5.6? [12:25] dabbu: "professional" literally means "for money" "do X for a living" [12:25] how do you change user in terminal ? [12:25] a professional who will give me some lovin [12:25] simoncpu: please elaborate [12:25] ActionParsnip: solid state has quick read? and SATA support? [12:25] I tried installing the language meta package for Kannada language using this: `sudo apt-get install language-support-kn` [12:25] join #ubuntu-fr [12:25] how do you change to another user in terminal ? [12:25] tonisius: how does you digicam store pictures?

[12:26] !ot | simoncpu [12:26] torgrimt_, pfft, you'll just be encouraging her computer illiteracy. :P [12:26] simoncpu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:26] ActionParsnip: I only need less than a gig [12:26] simoncpu: wrong room dude [12:26] ActionParsnip: thanks [12:26] oki === guntbert_ is now known as guntbert [12:26] wols_: your method seems easier to move data around, i'm looking for loading data to be quick. [12:26] wols_: i dont want to login as the su i want to login to another user i have created [12:26] tonisius: then id get a solid state hdd or a card reader with a card [12:26] I searched for the error and found varied solutions some including doing stuff in recovery mode.. [12:26] torgrimt_, doesn't the default program do exactly that anyway? It does when I put in an SD card. [12:26] Vixus: i had it hard enough to convice her to switch from windows xp [12:27] I wanted to know if the problem is really that serious and whether there is a simpler solution. [12:27] tonisius: i wouldnt worry about boot times, just in system performance [12:27] tonisius: answer my question [12:27] wols_: memory cards [12:27] Vixus: no, f-spot is the default. and it just creates alot of folders and a big mess ;) [12:27] rocko: man su instead of telling me irrelevant things === dlemcoe is now known as Western_Digital [12:27] so card reader/ssd has similar performance? [12:27] torgrimt_, you made your mum switch to ubuntu but you won't tell her how to copy photos manually? that's just silly. [12:27] Vixus: she wants to import all images, and create a directory called for instance christmas-Ã2008 [12:27] I guess the cheaper method would make sense when I don't need much storage. [12:27] tonisius: then use a card reader. it's faster to transfer the pictures than using the usb cable with the cmaera usually [12:28] sure, not sure why the 'camera' is being used but I'll take your word for it [12:28] torgrimt_: kamera does that in kde [12:28] ActionParsnip: i know, but there must be an eqvivalente in gnome [12:28] digikam as well iirc [12:28] ActionParsnip:I'm not able to get lspci and the others, i'm running dual boot and i'm in windows right now [12:28] now that I thikn about it, it's as quick as taking the memory card out and putting it into my system [12:29] i really wonder why ubuntu ships with f-spot as default. its really buggy, slow and horrible ;) [12:29] !digikam | torgrimt_ [12:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about digikam [12:29] the nikon d40 I have is usb2.0 capable, and the download is just as quick [12:29] ill google digikam ;) [12:29] wols_: so I think using the cable is easier and more convenient when I don't have to open the latch [12:29] wols_: and just as fast [12:29] DSLR is a bit different than consumer digicams [12:29] naymlezwun: can you get a wired connection til you get on your feet? [12:29] wols_: most high end cameras have USB2.0 capable readers in there. [12:29] wello word [12:30] thanks for the notice. [12:30] so no one's used xen?

Everytime I plug my earphone line in before boot, if I play some music the front would also play too [12:30] how do I fix this? [12:30] Vixus: probably no one bothered with a "anyone" question [12:30] naymlezwun: ok, are you using a desktop or laptop? [12:31] ActionParsnip: desktop === guntbert is now known as guntbert_ [12:31] wols_, I was just curious... it 'seems' to be what I'm looking for. [12:31] wols_: i dunno what happened... but after i restarted xserver... it fixed the problem [12:31] naymlezwun: self built or store bought? [12:31] ActionParsnip: I got the windows driver installed with ndiswrapper [12:31] ActionParsnip: storebuilt [12:31] DRLD: hard to diagnose errors like this === guntbert_ is now known as guntbert [12:31] how do I get an app's PID?

[12:33] I'm using HP laptop. Everytime I plug my earphone line in before boot, if I play some music the front would also play too [12:34] how do I fix this? [12:34] ActionParsnip: that's why i ask. i need some modified ubuntu installation [12:34] with ssh or so [12:34] exit [12:34] sledgeas: get the alternative cd and you can do it all from ssh [12:34] naymlezwun: run synaptic and install ndiswrapper [12:34] ActionParsnip: so any ideas? i tried iwconfig and the essid is off/any. Would that be a problem? [12:35] sledgeas: two main problems I can see: getting unpartitioned space on the hdd and geting the ssh to run from the start [12:35] the ssh install is doable [12:35] naymlezwun: have you done the ndiswrapper install and config [12:35] Vixus: seems like its time for me to start up vim and code the darn thing myself [12:35] ActionParsnip:i did install ndiswrapper with synaptic [12:35] ActionParsnip:yes i've installed it [12:35] ActionParsnip: when i try to config it bashes [12:35] naymlezwun: then you need to get your windows driver .inf and .sys files and thn run ndiswrapper -i [12:36] naymlezwun: done stuff like that [12:36] ActionParsnip: i have installed the windows driver already [12:36] naymlezwun: ok, just establishing whats what [12:37] ActionParsnip: ndiswrapper -l says driver present, hardware present [12:37] wols_: that's why i'm here [12:37] naymlezwun: and does ndiswrapper get installed at boot [12:37] naymlezwun: sudo ndiswrapper -m [12:37] ActionParsnip: i did -m [12:38] naymlezwun: ok sweet [12:38] ok so what if you run ifconfig do you see wlan0 or ath0 [12:38] ActionParsnip: i get eth1 [12:39] naymlezwun: ok try sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old [12:39] naymlezwun: then reboot [12:39] wols_: i'd do partitioning over partition magic, how's about the ssh install then?

OK I didn't edit the ./vnc/xstartup [12:47] Dr_willis: is the a doc to do this [12:47] * dextone sorry ... bazhang [12:47] porkpie, the vnc4server docs perhaps.. a read of the 'vncserver' script is handy also. (its a fancy script that is well commented) [12:48] ok [12:48] porkpie, xstartup is just a simple script - example (2 lines) --> xterm & exec gnome-session [12:48] porkpie, that would launch gnome in the vncsession. change it to lauinch what you want [12:48] OK [12:49] porkpie, be carefull when running 'vncserver' you can accidently get several vncsessions going at the same time. :) use the vncserver -kill :# to kill off any extras running [12:50] NEWS - HOT GIRLS - http://www.moneyorbeauty.blogspot.com/ [12:50] OK ... it;s internal anyway [12:50] llop: stop that please [12:50] NEWS - HOT GIRLS - http://www.moneyorbeauty.blogspot.com/ [12:50] jussi01: ping.

[12:56] What is the command to make a Ubuntu desktop from a ubuntu server? [12:57] Juje007: theres no difference [12:57] ikonia - i have to restart the system sometimes remotely and the webcam is used as a monitoring device [12:57] K [12:57] actionparsnip: i can remote to the server using ssh and everything is installed on the same server, so i am using localhost to try to connect to it [12:57] Dr_willis: hmm! made the change but still get a grey desktop [12:57] Juje007: I'd consider using the ubuntu desktop CD if you want a desktop, rather than a server install === x_dimitri is now known as milo [12:57] 有中国人吗 [12:57] monstrMobile: ok - so, I'm not quite sure why thats a problem ? [12:58] !cn | hala [12:58] hala: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:58] torgrimt_, good luck :D [12:58] Someone from ubuntu-nl said I needed to use t (Client Quit) [12:58] [13:56:57] Juje007: s [12:58] Dang [12:58] wrong line [12:58] Juje007: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:58] monstrMobile: just unloder/reload the module ? [12:58] TerrorBite: i "think" you need dbus-launch... apt-get install dbus-x11 ? [12:58] porkpie, you did KILL and restart the vncserver? also at the end of the xstartup you may want to use another 'xterm' or 'gnome-terminal' (no &) to keeop a termial open if the windowmanager closes. also check the logs. [12:58] hardware? [12:58] monstrMobile: it should load in the rigt order if the depmod is setup correclty [12:59] Juje007: yes, it it "home user" hardware [12:59] hi [12:59] can i install ubuntu server on 2GB Ram, 115GB drive, SiS661FX graphics card, 3.2Ghz processor?

[12:59] i didnt buy that laptop, and i dunno what program theyre using [12:59] Pirate_Hunter: definately [12:59] monstrMobile: if the modules dependencies are set correctly [12:59] Why do you need to know my hardware? [12:59] ikonia - how do i do that? [12:59] idyllic: already latest version [12:59] Juje007: to see which release server/desktop may suit you better [12:59] Vegombrei: Write a bash script. [12:59] ikonia: just to try it out never tried it out [12:59] monstrMobile: thats done at module compile time [12:59] Pirate_Hunter: it's the same as the desktop [13:00] Pirate_Hunter: if you've tried the desktop - you've tried the same base os [13:00] Vegombrei, there are several 'rename' tools in the repositories. its doable.. what tool depends on exactly wha tyou want to do. do an 'apt-cache search rename' and see whats there. [13:00] gvk: whats a bash script ? [13:00] actionparsnip: I connect from ubuntu desktop to the server which has both ldap and samba on it, hold on ill get you the full error message now that mayhelp morew [13:00] ikonia - is there a link you know of that i can read [13:00] ActionParsnip: hmmm the ubuntu site said no to that i needed 500GB minimum [13:00] I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Server [13:00] anyone?

[13:00] Dr_willis: ok lemme see [13:00] Juje007, you mean 8.04 [13:00] What do you mean with home user hardware [13:00] Pirate_Hunter: depends on what its a server for, the base install is not much different to the desktop [13:00] Pirate_Hunter: one is aimed at at enterprise/server class kit in terms of optimisations [13:00] ikonia - more info on how to compile the module with the correct dependencies [13:00] actionparsnip:failed to bind to server ldap://localhost/ with dn="cn=admin,dc=one,dc=co,dc=uk" Error: Can't contact LDAP server ------- i have changed the dc that reads one from its original [13:00] Ya bazhang [13:01] monstrMobile: is the module a default kernel modules, or 3rd party [13:01] ikonia: i see [13:01] Juje007: as in, is it a desktop PC ? [13:01] ikonia - the module is ov51x-jpeg [13:01] TerrorBite: you on your compiz-fusion? Notification work with metacity? [13:01] But I allready used this cmdd ikonia: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:01] Ya it's a desktop pc [13:01] ActionParsnip: well never had a server and never used one so thats why i wish to try it out, do small things with it first and who knows their after [13:01] ikonia - the source for it in the ubuntu repo is broken so i downloaded a deb from a ubuntu bug report [13:01] I lost my desktop cd so I installed the server version [13:01] idyllic: it used to work with compiz-fusion, I'll try with metacity though [13:02] Juje007: if your using a desktop PC, you may actaully be better installing the OS from the desktop CD - as it's setup better for home/Desktop hardware [13:02] Dr_willis: there's one called renameutils .. i guess i should apt-get that [13:02] mrwhippy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=640760&page=9 [13:02] monstrMobile: no - is the module part of the kernel, or a 3rd party module [13:02] ikonia - oh...third party [13:02] actionparsnip: having a look now [13:02] monstrMobile: then you need to speak to them about the module dependencies [13:02] monstrMobile: the people who write it [13:02] monstrMobile: or hack it yourself [13:02] idyllic: Okay, can confirm it works with metacity [13:03] ikonia - i understand...thank you...i suppose i will do that [13:03] TerrorBite: wee :) [13:03] TerrorBite: i suggest you do something with compiz-fusion plugins for notification [13:03] idyllic: I don't know why it stopped working [13:03] Is that Tracker thing good for anything? [13:03] mrwhippy: i was merely checking DNS issues resolving names to IPs, I dont know about LDAP [13:04] TerrorBite: are you on hardy?

[13:04] actionparsnip: thanks for your efforts, i have been through my files as the post you found suggested but i think i am about to go check them again, if not its a start again thing [13:05] timz: Flash is more of a resource hog than a standard player, I guess. [13:05] gvk: you are right. At least on linux. [13:05] ActionParsnip, yes, i do [13:05] gvk, so how can i fix this [13:05] timz: thats why, compiz screws LOTS of stuff up [13:06] ActionParsnip, ok i'll try [13:06] * ActionParsnip HATES compiz loads [13:06] timz: does it work fine without compiz? [13:06] looking for a way to view 3d Field Sequential video (as anaglyph and/or cross view 3d) [13:06] there's my other question, how do i end compiz^^, with kubuntu it was kwin --replace, but now i changed to ubuntu [13:06] timz, metacity --replace [13:06] timz: metacity --replace [13:07] timz: 64bit flash is a pain too [13:07] I want to install linux-backports-modules on my hardy server. but after successful installation i see, that my modules does not upgraded. wht's wrong? [13:08] its not working even without compiz [13:08] Dr_willis: looks like it is using gnome display manager [13:08] idyllic: yes, I'm on hardy [13:08] timz: If it still lags, do like the vista and get better hardware. [13:08] timz: what spec is your PC? [13:09] TerrorBite: goto CCMS, then make sure Workarounds plugin - notification daemon fix is ticked [13:09] how do I know which one to install ? libstdc++5_i386.deb or 6_i386.deb ? [13:09] 2.6 ghz quadcore 4 gb ram 64 bit ubuntu 8.04 flachplugin -nonfree [13:09] this is for gizmo project [13:09] TerrorBite: and Dbus plug in as well [13:09] Hello :> Could anyone recommend a good brand and model of mp3 player that's well supported under Ubuntu? I've read up on the Sandisk Fuze but it seems like there are some issues with that, I was hoping for something like the PSP (aka. just moves the files on as if it were a flash drive) [13:09] Well, the hw is not the problem :D [13:09] timz: maybe theres a thing with 4Gb RAM. Ive seen some apps ave issues with certain ram amounts [13:09] Hello. With apt-cacher, is there some way to tell it to remove all packages that came from a specific source ? [13:09] axisys: why are you trying to install a 32bit package [13:09] Hello. I saved my desktop session and I guess that doesn't work quite well with compiz enabled. Now I am having trouble undoing it. Is there a file where the running applications I saved are listed that I can just delete? [13:09] idyllic: already checked those, the workaround was enabled, but the dbus plugin wasn't [13:10] TerrorBite: tick them :D [13:10] Is that clear enough? [13:10] ikonia: http://gizmo5.com/pc/download/linux/ over here there are two choices .. so 5_i386 is 32 bit and 6_i386 is 64 bit ? [13:10] idyllic: workaround and dbus plugin both enabled now, still can't see notifications [13:10] ActionParsnip, can i fix this per software or should i remove a 2 gb stick(<--?) [13:10] axisys: both are 32bit [13:10] mercutio22: you can view running apps, ive not heard of saved apps [13:10] hello how can i know if some program is in universe or mulriverse or backports and so on.....repository?

[13:11] axisys: contact the people at gizmo [13:11] ActionParsnip: I mean, I saved the currently running apps in gnome-session. I want to undo it. [13:11] If i start a program from a terminal window is there any way i can close that terminal window and have the program stay running? [13:11] ActionParsnip, firefox [13:11] filo1234: apt-cache search program [13:11] ikonia: ok how do I know if I am running 32bit or 64bit OS ? [13:11] gvk: thanks [13:11] Flynsarmy: put "nohup [13:11] axisys: please show me "uname -a" [13:11] Flynsarmy: put "nohup" in front of it [13:12] ikonia: Linux ghar 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [13:12] timz: what flash plugin you using?

[13:14] timz: get ndispluginwrapper and the adobe one. Thats what I used, search for walkthroughs and you'll hit home [13:14] ikonia: i just installed this http://download.gizmo5.com/GizmoDownload/gizmo-project_3.1.0.79_libstdc++5_i386.deb [13:14] ikonia: how do I remove it ? [13:14] idyllic: already restarted compiz when I switched to metacity to see if it worked there, I'll restart it again anyway [13:14] axisys: you need to remove that [13:14] axisys: how did you install it / [13:14] ikonia: gdebi [13:14] hi [13:14] axisys: isn't there a remove option ? [13:14] axisys: or use dpkg [13:14] TerrorBite: If i typed wine gedit and gedit and i havent been given a new prompt, is there a way to get one? [13:15] TerrorBite: sorry, wine [13:15] axisys: dpkg -i gizmo-project [13:15] oop [13:15] Flynsarmy: put an & on the end [13:15] dpkg -r gizmo-project [13:15] ActionParsnip: thnx [13:15] as in: gedit & [13:15] axisys: or use synaptic [13:15] TerrorBite: Yea that requires me starting again. i mean if i already have the program open and i dont want to close it [13:15] Can somone tell me how to make gnome session forget a saved session?? [13:16] Flynsarmy: press Ctrl-Z in the terminal window, then type 'bg' [13:16] Flynsarmy: ctrl-z and then type 'bg' [13:16] survey says... [13:16] How can I dump the monitor-settings X is currently using? (It's autodetected with the screen directly connected, but when using a kvm-extender it fails, so I need to make it static) [13:16] Flynsarmy: type Alt-F2, then run the program. Save everyone trouble :) [13:17] prince_jammys: Thanks. will this now stay open if i close the terminal window? [13:17] i don't think so [13:17] you have to disown it [13:17] Flynsarmy: type Alt-F2, then run the program. Save everyone trouble :) [13:17] ActionParsnip, do you mean nspluginwrapper? [13:17] Flynsarmy: disown [13:17] Flynsarmy: if you didn't run it with nohup to begin with, it'll still close along with the terminal [13:17] anyway, bye guys.... [13:18] timz: yeah man [13:18] ActionParsnip, i already have nspluginwrapper und the flashplugin-nonfree [13:18] how do i force quit an app that i think has hung ? [13:18] Vegombrei: killall appname [13:18] Flynsarmy: type 'disown -h 1' [13:19] has anyone here got LXDE working with VNC .... I can't get the desktop session to work :S [13:19] Flynsarmy: asuming you got [1] when you pressed Ctrl-Z [13:19] disown by itself will also work, but yeah. [13:19] timz: then id try removing flash and reinstalling. or try opera [13:19] prince_jammys: didn't know that one [13:19] TerrorBite: it'll disown all jobs [13:20] gvk: app got killed but cpu still going flat out [13:20] Vegombrei: run top [13:21] TerrorBite: no such job. prince_jammys: I got no output at all when typing disown. is that because i typed bg first? [13:21] Flynsarmy: no output is ok. [13:21] PPPD typically spits out 'gibberish' when run directly, and trying to establish a connection. However when using the ubuntu scripts to start up pppd (pon, pppoeconf, e.t.c.), the 'gibberish' typically isn't displayed. I just noticed that using the scripts now displays all that gibberish, and the PPP connection won't come up. The error message given is "LCP: timeout sending config-requests" Any ideas on how to fix this? [13:21] ActionParsnip: should i type that in terminal ? [13:21] Vegombrei: yes [13:21] top [13:21] Flynsarmy: it says no such job because it already disowned it the first time you ran 'disown' [13:21] Flynsarmy: you can now safely close the terminal [13:22] TerrorBite: Got it, thanks [13:22] Vegombrei: kill the app that's flatting the cpu. [13:23] ugh, what could: "/dev/sdc1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive" ? [13:23] Vegombrei: If kill does not work, try sudo kill, if that doesn't work, reboot :D [13:23] trying to do #grub-install /dev/sda [13:23] broken mbr, and currently chrooted into my original installation, trying to get the bootloader reinstalled [13:23] tonisius: sdc1 is a partition on sdc which is secondary master === kludge is now known as Kludge [13:24] why is it that if i want to install libflashsupport, ubuntu wants to remove oss? :|||| [13:24] I understand where it is, but why is it not letting me run the grub install on sda? [13:24] how can i make to umask stay 133 when logout? [13:24] tonisius: what does it say when you try? [13:24] it says that error: [13:24] ugh, what could: "/dev/sdc1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive" ? [13:24] is there anyway to see the resource addresses that are used by pci devices in Ubuntu, like the one in windows device manager show by connection [13:24] tonisius: you mayhave to make the partition the ACTIVE partition [13:25] ActionParsnip: how do I make the partition active, that's sort of new to me [13:25] I've done this 4 times today, but this time it's not working [13:25] grub has been decent all day [13:25] tonisius: well yeah, the system will boot the active partition, if you install grub on an inactive partition it wont do anything [13:26] hmm, ugh, maybe cause it's mounted? [13:26] since I had to mount sdc1 to chroot into it [13:26] tonisius: that too [13:26] hm, but I did this today multiple times with the same steps [13:26] tonisius: id check its the active partition in fdisk or cfdisk [13:26] mount the main drive, bind the dev, mount the sysyfs, and the other stuff [13:26] ok [13:27] anybody here got a creative x-fi card running with alsa? [13:27] what would cfdisk say tif it was active? [13:27] currently the flags are set, but nothing much else [13:27] how can i make to stay umask 133 when logout?

I've read up on the Sandisk Fuze but it seems like there are some issues with that, I was hoping for something like the PSP (aka. just moves the files on as if it were a flash drive) [13:28] Flash-xD: that's a common question [13:28] prower: sandisk is like that, [13:28] most MP3 players that act like a portable drive do that [13:28] my ipod connects too, just not to move music on it, but to put files on it [13:28] salve [13:29] use gtkpod [13:29] that can interact with the itunes lib [13:29] tonisius: Yeah, that's what I was told about sandisk, but reading a page on the sandisk fuze it seems like there's some problems with it [13:29] tonisius, i know how to put it on .bashrc, but i dont want to put my home, i want to put /home/html/inf/ [13:29] prower: cowon make sweet players that are ubuntu friendly [13:29] I would get an ipod but the newest generation are no longer supported :< [13:29] yeah the cowon ones are cool [13:29] ActionParsnip: Hmm, I'll have to see if they are available in my area thanks [13:30] prower: check the x5 it supports ogg and m3u [13:30] ActionParsnip: wow, just looked up my linux partitions with cfdisk /dev/sdc [13:30] and it's showing it as a primary FAT16, and logical as Linux Swap [13:30] ugh!

[13:38] Vegombrei: quit out of it, then type pkill [13:38] unr3a1: /etc/resolv.conf [13:38] ty [13:38] geirha: just curious, why did that work ?

[13:39] Is there a way to rename an item on my boot loader? [13:39] do i just add it to my .bashrc file ? [13:39] geirha: echo "eval $(ssh-agent)" >> .bashrc ?

[13:40] ActionParsnip: can i pkill compiz.real too ? [13:40] now, does Ubuntu save those DNS settings to use if I connect somewhere else, or does it pull for new DNS settings everytime it gets an IP address from DHCP?

[13:42] Yes, GRUB not LiLo [13:42] pinnerup: maybe the cable has a break in it during the move [13:42] I apologize for asking such a n00b question, but I never really understood how Ubuntu gets its DNS configurations [13:42] MXIIA: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:43] unr3a1: it uses dns to the www [13:43] ActionParsnip: The cable works fine when I plug it into my laptop. [13:43] Ok, thanks prince_jammys [13:43] MXIIA: you'll see the different headings. you can change what they say. be careful, make a backup [13:43] yes, but does it save those DNS settings regardless of where it is connected, or does it pull for new DNS settings when it goes for DHCP? [13:43] pinnerup: try sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/old_interfaces [13:43] Ok, I will thanks :) [13:43] pinnerup: then reboot [13:43] ActionParsnip: Will try that [13:44] I mean, is it supposed to pull for new DNS when it pulls for DHCP [13:44] Out of curiosity, how would I leave this room while using Irssi? [13:44] SitUbuntuSit: /part [13:44] prince_jammys: Thank you very much.

Any ideas? [13:45] Could someone point me to a tutorial that shows how to copy mp3's to an "uninitialized" iPod shuffle in Ubuntu? I tried Banshee but we couldn't figure it out. (It's for a family member--I hate iPods :/) and there is NO way I'll ever let iTunes touch my PC's not even through Wine.

[13:46] i had the pidgin-rhythmbox plugin installed, but now it's gone. how come? [13:47] I saw a command mkxauth, which doesn't seem to be available unter ubuntu (8.10). What's a easy way to create a x-authority for a new user? (testuser, with no GDM-login) [13:47] noam: autorun emerald --replace at bootup [13:47] I've been trying to use Banshee but when I click and drag mp3's from a playlist into the iPod device, it just crashes. [13:47] Is there a screensaver that would show news? Maybe an RSS aggregator slideshow screen saver? [13:47] ActionParsnip: Isn't there a more elegant way? [13:48] iPod shuffle mounts as a usb harddrive but we don't know where to put the songs and it hasn't been "initialized" by iTunes. My friend on Ubuntu 7.10 says Banshee can do that anyway but I'm on Ubuntu 8.04. [13:48] pogay: xauth, perhaps [13:48] noam: not that i know of and id say adding a sigle line at bootup was fairly elegant [13:49] geirha: btw, thanks [13:49] pogay: mm. that command seems more geared to querying the x authority. [13:49] ActionParsnip, hmmm... the reason I ask, is it seems as if my computer is holding onto DNS settings from my home (I am at work right now). [13:49] prince_jammys: probably with extract an merge... [13:49] * dextone time to go home [13:50] bye all, thx 4 your helps... [13:50] compubomb: No problem.

If so where can I find the info for fixing it [13:50] i was checking the source of usplash theme of xubuntu and trying to edit the .progressbar_background = 73, so what is the equivalent of 73 in color or where can i find the other color values? [13:50] anyone know how to create initramfs disk on ubuntu hardy? [13:50] ActionParsnip, yes. the DNS server from my home is in the /etc/resolv.conf [13:50] prince_jammys: it's strange I dont find nice example in the internet... [13:50] unr3a1: then edit it out [13:51] can I have a crontab set to run at */2 21-7 * * * ? [13:51] unr3a1: gksu gedit /etc/resolv.conf [13:51] the part that im not sure about is the 21-7 [13:51] would it work, from 9 in the evening to 7 in the morning ? [13:51] Guys, my newsmy mp4 cannot be mounted. I am under Ubuntu 8.04 [13:51] indian_munnda, first, open up the folder where you put the file, right click and select "extract here" [13:51] is there a way to view 3d Field Sequential video in linux? (as anaglyph and/or cross view 3d) [13:51] shesek`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [13:51] ActionParsnip, so then how does it pull for different DNS, because the server it has now, wasn't the server it had yesterday, and I didn't manually change it. [13:52] ActionParsnip, I know how to use crontab in general [13:52] the_darkside_986: i have extracted that into a folder on the desktop [13:52] just asking specificlly if 21-7 is valid [13:52] ok [13:52] should get it via dhcp as you say but id edit out the line for your old dns [13:52] indian_munnda, what is in the extracted folder exactly? [13:52] anyone ? [13:52] shesek`: it tells you what each colomn means [13:53] peng1, too specıfıc subject for help channel but try searching the packages for anaglyph: apt-cache search anaglyph [13:53] the_darkside_986: these are supporting files i think [13:53] shesek`: It might, not sure. Though "21-23,0-8" should work. [13:53] AfterDeath, I know that [13:53] shesek`: if it doesn't, perhaps */2 0-7,21-0 [13:53] geirha, thats a good idea, I'll do that just to make sure [13:53] jimqode: it could just be a choice for de-interlacing in vlc.. but it's not :( [13:53] prince_jammys, geirha, thanks [13:53] ugh [13:53] can't sleep [13:53] the_darkside_986: there are 2 folders named as docs and patched [13:54] shesek`: I dunno if partitionmagic works [13:54] ActionParsnip, I am not worried about the setting. it is set to OpenDNS, 208.67.222.222. i was just curious how Ubuntu gets different DNS info [13:54] ok, the only hard drive in the system has the wrong 'partition type' listed in the grub [13:54] the_darkside_986: and other images of the real play interface [13:54] I can mount it, and it's mounted as ext2fs properly [13:54] but I umount it, and grub still doesn't recognize it, and refuses to mount it [13:54] sledgeas: I dunno if partitionmagic works. To actually resize, partitionmagic will reboot in a DOS mode with no sshd or vnc running [13:55] googling ext2fs repair didn't bring in much of anything to help with the type being 0x6 instead of 0x83 [13:55] tonisius: id look at changing the type but im not sure abut the data [13:55] Anyone know about a workaround for the skype problems in hardy? [13:56] ok, good thing I didn't change the tyoe [13:56] DrGhoul: what sort of problems??? [13:56] I mounted it, and it's showing up as ext3 [13:56] when i swear it was ext2fs before === peng1 is now known as pengo [13:57] tonisius: id backup the data and remake the partition so its all consistant [13:57] is the default type with ubuntu ext3? or ext2fs? [13:57] is it normal to experience alot of vertical tearing when moving windows in ubuntu? [13:57] I have no where ot backup to [13:57] tonisius: you can use what you want [13:57] windows wont bootup either [13:57] i installed the nvidia drivers [13:57] but default when installing ubuntu [13:57] tonisius: what if the drive fails. how will you recover the data?? [13:57] tonisius: default is ext3 [13:57] tonisius: the default is ext3 [13:57] q. i got a ubuntu-server installation in french language, and i would like to switch it to english, where should i look ? [13:57] ActionParsnip: it's eating all my cpu when running, I can't shut it down properly, mic is not working (I have no other Pulseaudio issues) [13:57] what if my windows drive fails, how will I recover THAT data, it's more important [13:58] ActionParsnip, so if its not updating its DNS automatically, is that potentially a problem with Ubuntu, or does it not update DNS everytime it requests DHCP? [13:58] the_darkside_986: there are some executables also like one is named as "Realplay 10" and when i run it it says "There was an error launching the application" [13:58] how can i get the frozen bubble soundtrack(ingame)^^? [13:58] I'm trying to recreate the grub, and it's refusing to use the /boot/ in my /dev/sdc1 partition [13:58] saying the partition doesn't exist, [13:58] new_date = date(*time.strptime('2007-11-22', '%Y-%m-%d')[:3]) [13:58] root (hd2,0) then setup (hd0) [13:58] i thought that should work no ? [13:59] just says unable to mount partition error 17 [13:59] urgh [13:59] and it doesn't show the parition type when I try and tab through the different partitions [13:59] the_darkside_986: are u there? [13:59] babo: in what context? [13:59] it says type 0x6 where the ext3 type should be [13:59] <``Cube> so you want me to prove that "photoshop" beats "gimp" by 20x? [13:59] any other ideas?

[14:33] hosk: On the server, it should just have to be enabled. On the client, connecting with the -X option is usually sufficient. [14:34] pogay, when the client is loading the nbi.img it doesn't work. [14:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows I'm moving down the list [14:34] :( [14:34] kepler-linux: dlan (powerline) just replaces a normal LAN, should work if connection works [14:34] right now going to try Super Grub Disk [14:34] how can I tell how much swap space I'm using? [14:34] bmeynell: df -ha [14:34] thanks tonisius [14:34] pogay, the connection should be ok, because we get ip form DHCP [14:35] tonisius: hmm... it didn't return anything that was blatantly swap space [14:35] tonisius: look at my wiki http://www.ddy.ch/pm/laden/pm.wiki/HW-Installation/GRUB1 [14:35] bmeynell: look at the part labeled swap [14:35] bmeynell: should show [14:35] tonisius: nadda... it's a vps [14:36] then you can't know [14:36] ^^^ don't know if that's maybe why [14:36] ask your provider [14:36] you're CHrooted [14:36] and have no access to that information [14:36] kepler-linux: yes so ltsp should work with problem. [14:36] tonisius: ahh, k... is it possible to create additional swap space or is that another question for my host? [14:37] tonisius: don't try with chroot, it very complicated that it works [14:37] xnv: well basically i wanna know if it works properly with linux? [14:38] pogay, ok. i try it again. maybe it works now... [14:38] *hope* [14:38] kepler-linux: good luck! [14:38] pogay, thanks [14:39] pogay: i've done the grub repair 4 times today [14:39] this time it doesnt work [14:39] I normally just do the root (hd2,1) [14:39] then setup (hd0) [14:39] install [14:39] then I'm done [14:39] tonisius: I know sometimes it's tricky... [14:39] tonisius: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:39] i'm on a live cd now. I cant login to a DE session because there's not enough space on my root partition. what can I do to free some space? [14:39] woops, sorry [14:40] i'm trying to forward X and i get X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication [14:40] remoteCTRL: OK, then ask the channel. [14:40] im struggling to get a java plugin for firefox on Ubuntu, anyone know of any helpful resourses? [14:40] bmeynell: the program free will tell you how much swap and memory are being used === trannie is now known as trannie2 [14:40] timmillwood: have you tried java? [14:40] kuroryuu: Swap: 0 0 0 [14:40] q. i got a ubuntu-server installation in french language, and i would like to switch it to english, where should i look ? [14:40] timmillwood, install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [14:41] timmillwood, then run sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [14:41] I'm extremely new to linux and have just installed ubuntu on a 2nd drive. I cant seem to get any drivers for it so the display looks terrible and the internet wont work. Can anyone offer me any suggestions as Toshiba doesnt seem to offer any support, naturally. [14:41] bmeynell: do you have a swap partition set up? [14:41] he's on a VPS [14:41] Circus-Killer: thanks [14:41] kuroryuu: he's on a VPS [14:41] he's been chrooted [14:42] kuroryuu: it's a vps... that's what I'm trying to figure out... how badly I'm being f**** and if I should move to a real server [14:42] I need a gig of swap space [14:42] bmeynell: bemoved to a dedicated real server [14:42] you will always have to share with others the resources you want [14:42] that's what a VPS is for [14:42] *sigh* [14:42] I know, i have friends that did a lot of torrenting, or hogging processes [14:43] price isn't that different nowadays either [14:43] is lsi 1078 sas raid controller compatible with ubuntu? [14:43] hi people [14:43] so why would someone go for a VPS? [14:43] if they aren't that different? [14:43] iv got a problem with samba, and i saw an issue regardin to vista [14:43] so i found that my version of samba, 3.028 its much older than the one that can talk to vista [14:43] I am thinking about switching 100% from Mac OS X to Ubuntu, thoughts? [14:43] tonisius: they probably don't know how to manage a real server [14:43] so i used apt-get upgrade samba [14:44] but none new was found, so iv downloaded a .tar file from samba.org [14:44] timmillwood: personally, i don't care [14:44] handling a desktop is harder, when you're handling many hard drives in a week [14:44] how do i install tar packages on ubuntu? [14:44] a server never needs to be shut off or anything [14:44] datacrusher: you don't have tar installed? [14:44] datacrusher: thats impossible [14:44] nor upgrading video drivers, all the stuff is simpler [14:44] my desktop has been nothing but hell [14:44] bmeynell: this could help: http://devnulled.com/content/2007/06/how-to-display-linux-vps-memory-usage/ [14:44] hello how can i to see wich kind of FS is formatted an HD, with fdisk -l i see only type Linux [14:45] kuroryuu: thanks [14:45] jbroome: i'm not bothered if you care or not, i am wondering if I will get any problems, or have any issue, is there any guidance? etc [14:45] filo1234: you did it as sudo/root? === happihippo_ is now known as happihippo [14:45] Can anybody tell me how to wipe a drive that has ubuntu installed? I want to fresh install it. [14:45] Question: I have an older laptop with an ATI Radeon 9200 and am looking at upgrading to a new laptop with either an Intel X3100 or an Nvidia Geforce GO 7150M. Problem I have with the older laptop is external monitor support does not work. Does anyone know if I would have better luck with the latter cards? [14:45] sherbsauce: rm -rf / ? [14:45] tonisius: yes sudo fdisk -l but i canot see if is ext3 or ext2 or jfs [14:45] are there any guides to newbs trying out ubuntu server, like tutorials I could do "i wish to try ubuntu server but have no reason to use it"? [14:45] filo1234: hmm, mine showed me the actual type [14:46] tonisius: /dev/sdb1 1 4998 40146403+ 83 Linux [14:46] landonab: I've heard support for the X3100 isn't great, and nvidia cards usually have the best support [14:46] sherbsauce: just put the liveCD in and choose "install", it'll format it for you [14:46] actually, mine doesn't say it either. [14:46] hi all, is there a way to tell gnome to align the desktop icons on the right side? [14:46] that sucks [14:46] timmillwood: oh sorry, you just asked for "thoughts" with no direction or specification [14:46] filo1234: try mounting it. [14:46] Stdin - Thanks very much [14:46] i may have [14:46] filo1234: that was another alternative, then do a df -Tha [14:46] kuroryuu thanks for the response [14:46] i just dont know the comand [14:46] or -T [14:46] hi, is there a similar program to Enso for Ubuntu? [14:46] for the type [14:47] tonisius: ok i try [14:47] how can i get also to play multiple streams? [14:47] tonisius: thanks [14:47] ok [14:47] *alsa [14:47] filo1234: try cfdisk, that usually tells me which FS [14:47] MikeSeth: i may have, its an ubuntu server install [14:47] text only [14:47] kuroryuu i am just concerned that if i get the same lack of support for the external monitor that i should not bother upgrading to a new laptop....waste of money [14:47] datacrusher: I've never seen an *nix box that doesnt have tar [14:47] Anybody happen to know why my cursor is yellow and a can't backspace in terminal->screen->irssi under xubuntu 8.04? [14:47] datacrusher: or did you mean install software from source tarballs? [14:48] kuroryuu: I learned it doesnt help much [14:48] tonisius: is it the first time you install grub? [14:48] pogay: nope, [14:48] pogay: done this way too many times, [14:48] installed 100 too many servers [14:48] from gentoo to redhat [14:48] it HAVE, i think [14:49] tonisius: sometimes it reacts very strange... [14:49] pogay, thanks. i restarted the ltsp-server while it was connected with the dlan. after the restart it works. [14:49] btw re ATI: X300 fglx has issues [14:49] thanks [14:49] landonab: you could always get a macbook :P though I personally can't stand OS X, it's at least a unix [14:49] pogay: today it's the strangest, none of my normal methods work, and none of google's methods have worked [14:49] im just worried about how to do it on the text mode, without losing the folder paths and so on [14:49] I'm doing the reinstall of the OS< and seeing if that will do [14:49] that's the last step in the ubuntu how to repair grub [14:49] tonisius: I made recently a few installations on usb-Drives and sticks, usually it works. On Drive did only work with grub2 [14:49] kuroryuu i have considered that. just not wanting to spend the money if i am only going to use linux. would rather invest in a thinkpad [14:49] if I setup a ubuntu server locally on VMware can I install it on my VPS? if so how? [14:50] tonisius: hmmm? [14:50] pogay: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#The%20GUI%20Way:%20Using%20the%20Alternate/Install%20CD%20and%20Overwriting%20the%20Windows%20bootloader [14:50] timmillwood: probably yes, but i wouldnt recommend it [14:50] landonab: well you can look up the model on http://linux-laptop.net/ and see if other people have gotten it working [14:50] tonisius: but suppse if i cannot mount HD because i don' t know FS, my question is: is possible to see FS of an HD not mounted?? [14:50] what's the procedure for replacing dhclient3 with dhcpcd? [14:50] melter: apt-get does that on its own iirc [14:51] filo1234: sudo fdisk -l [14:51] filo1234: if the fdisk, and cfdisk didn't see it, then maybe it could be mounted with mount without specifying the type [14:51] mikeseth: you think I would be better just setting it up on VPS to start with? [14:51] bye [14:51] !language [14:51] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:51] it will try, and report an error, or mount it [14:51] nah [14:51] kuroryuu thanks. i have done a lot of googling but i will check out the link. [14:51] MikeSeth: it doesn't uninstall dhclient, which is used before dhcpcd [14:51] if it mounts it, you can see the type using df -T [14:51] tonisius: but the trick to mount ---bind did help me a lot. [14:51] tonisius: is only a curiosity [14:51] melter: so uninstall it manually [14:51] hi [14:51] timmillwood: probably [14:52] ls [14:52] MikeSeth: then network-manager is uninstalled, which kills networking altogether [14:52] i created a script and i want to execute it during systm startup , i coied it to /etc/init.d but it dosnt start [14:52] why [14:52] filo1234: then try it [14:53] kibibyte: First step, did you remember to set it chmod +x ? [14:53] its is +x [14:53] tonisius: when I made a installation via chroot in /dev/sdc . Grub wanted to install in /dev/scd8 (!). sca8 was my real / and sdc2 was the chroot. [14:53] MikeSeth: ubuntu ships with 4 dhcp clients, but there appears to be no documented way of actually using anything other than dhcp3-client [14:53] any operator whose i ask [14:54] triggerhapp, it is [14:54] melter: I bet it's a debian alternative [14:54] tonisius: IMHO, when grub has problems with the stages, it looks at the wrong place. [14:54] Yeah, give me a mo, im trying to remember how the init scripts work again :P [14:54] i installed itunes thru wine in linux and still can't get it to "see" my ipod. i opened up both rhythmbox and songbird; they both "see" my ipod, but i can't get them to sync it. how can i do all three of these things: get itunes to see my ipod thru wine, sync my ipod in rhythmbox, and sync my ipod in songbird? [14:54] tonisius: whats your problem w/grub? [14:54] How can I make a table which associates a key of my IBM Thinkpad T42 keyboard and its associated keycode, and this for all the 100+ keys? [14:55] coming from Windows I would like to have a file "explorer" similar to Directory Opus, is there anything out there for Ubuntu? [14:55] triggerhapp, ok [14:55] bullgard4: xev no good?

[14:55] mikeseth: hi i have notebook Axioo how to install ubuntu for it. that's problem with display [14:55] nemo_: what video? [14:55] bullgard4: is that really an ubuntu issue ? [14:55] juro, you need to describe Directory Opus [14:55] mikeseth: the chipset is via [14:55] mmm, that reminds me, i should think about ipod alts [14:56] nemo_: i dont know anything about via, what's the problem specifically? [14:56] joaopinto, Directoy Opus is a Windows Explorer replacement that adds tons of useful features http://www.gpsoft.com.au/ [14:56] mikeseth: thats no more display after install ubuntu [14:57] bullgard4, http://web.mit.edu/answers/xwindows/xwindows_xmodmap.html [14:57] iv only found regarding to tar on the graphic mode [14:57] iv tryed tar -xzvf samba.tar [14:57] thx riaal [14:57] thx triggerhapp [14:57] ikonia: I am surprised that you are not answering but putting this question.

I have a bit of a strange question. On my laptop (A Zepto ZNote) I have a mute button for audio, and on this button there's a LED.

[14:59] hi, can anyone help me with a samba problem? or is this the wrong place? [14:59] tonisius: try grub2, but a very recent version... [14:59] Jurkki, nautilus has integrated sftp, don't know about th other features [14:59] currently doing the reinstall portion [14:59] nemo_: so switch to console and diagnose [14:59] bullgard4: ok, please re-post your question when you have chance, I'm not sure I clearly understood it [14:59] pogay: not gonna try something new, i'm trying to get this older one to work, and more people know how to use it 'properly' [14:59] tonisius: boot partition corrupt? filesystem type set correctly in partition table? [14:59] hello [15:00] tonisius: if the fs type is not 83 grub wont boot it [15:00] MikeSeth: I can mount it myself to /mnt/ and navigate [15:00] MikeSeth: it sees type 6 [15:00] !ebox [15:00] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [15:00] tonisius: why? if its a linux fs it has to be 83 [15:00] MikeSeth: but fdisk -l shows more partitions than I should have [15:00] MikeSeth: I'm just saying what it's telling me [15:00] tonisius: can you see the things via grub commandline find /vmlinuz [15:00] tonisius: 1) change fs type to 83 2) fdisk -l > pastebin [15:01] MikeSeth: already pasted it [15:01] Hi, is there a way of determining which drivers are currently in use? I'm trying to diagnose a problem with my ATI Gfx card and want to know what is and isn't in use and what's installed... [15:01] let me get the link [15:01] http://pastie.org/252178 <-- this is my current hard disk layout [15:01] MikeSeth: there we go [15:01] mikeshet : if i use ubuntu live cd thats ok. and no problem with play a demo. but after install i have crash display with it. i try to use with root konsole thats no problem. [15:02] bytecode: lsmod will give you a list of the modules currently in use [15:02] the /dev/sdc is my linux drive, the fat16 shouldn't be there if I recall, [15:02] tonisius wow fat16 [15:02] tonisius: which one is your /boot? [15:02] sdc1 was, and still is [15:02] I mounted it to mnt right now [15:02] and it's showing up properly [15:02] mikeshet : then i try startx, just blank display i saw. [15:02] tonisius: cfdisk, select sdc1, type t, enter 83, save [15:02] Hi ... how do I get color from the terminal? I meant .... folders are used to be blue, binaries green, archives red, devices yellow, etc .... [15:02] MikeSeth: ok, will try that [15:02] you could convert that to NTFS and get substantial space savings, just fyi [15:02] tonisius: also, why do you have swap in an extended partition? waste of space [15:02] xnv: thanks - I tried that but wondered whether there was more detail available - hence query [15:02] (albeit little) [15:03] MikeSeth: it's how ubuntu set it up [15:03] datacrusher: in that case probably you tryed to extract the tar archive twice [15:03] bytecode: About the drivers or about your card? [15:03] Hver er asni á þessum server [15:03] and I have 4GB of ram [15:03] tonisius: I'd wipe /dev/sdc2 and /dev/sdc5 and make one primary swap partition /dev/sdc2 [15:03] drivers - I know about the card - but I want to determine whether it's using the radeon, ati orfglrx driver [15:03] datacrusher: in the .tar file there is supposed to be a configure file ? [15:03] lo all. who could give me some ubuntu-xen pointers? I tried setting up xen with the ubuntu-xen-server package, the bridging went fine and the adapter for the dom0 can acquire an address from DHCP, but I can't get any network traffic going [15:04] bytecode: If it's using any of those, it should be in lsmod [15:04] tonisius: either way, grub is whining when the partition table fs type marker is invalid - and in this case it is [15:04] tonisius: I had the case, where grub recognised the geometry but couldn't access the files..http://www.ddy.ch/pm/laden/pm.wiki/ProdTest/GRUB.. [15:04] datacrusher: btw you can just right click the tar archive and say extract here === sale_ is now known as sale [15:04] nemo_: well read the xorg log and see what happens and if tehre is anything suspicious [15:04] i seemed to have modified the opacity of one of my terminal windows [15:05] how can i get it back to 100% with closing it?

[15:27]  Redwing:Terminal: apt-get install hwinfo && apt-get install pastebinit && hwinfo > pc.txt && pastebinit pc.txt [15:27] deep_blue: the problem with having everything on a flashdrive is that they have limited lifetimes if you write to them constantly, better to have another medium to store filesystems that will be more active [15:27] Redwing: yes, its in pidgin [15:27] ziroday: how can I check? I enabled sharing, it said it had to download files, and then I set up folders to share and they show sharing icons now.

[15:29] wish me luck [15:29] gl [15:29] bullgard4: maybe see documentation for tpb package [15:29] nedwell: okay, then its likely just the client being finicky [15:29] Ax-Ax: you've done chmod ..... -R / or what? [15:29] nedwell: is the server on a static or dynamic ip? [15:29] kuroryuu, will not be using it as constantly in pendrive, but wanted to know if I make any changes will it get saved or not......since in Live CD everytime I start it, it starts from scratch....

[15:46] does anyone know if Gnomad2 can interface with Rhythmbox [15:46] hello [15:46] dexter: okay, I doubt you can install websters dictionary in ubuntu, however look at the program kdict [15:46] Redwing_LiveCD: HW should be no problem, most prbly u're riding an athlon cpu, so lets get this hd thing checked [15:46] what is xorg ? [15:47] Sinnerman: you can go to a terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1 and change the driver from there [15:47] db92: no further ideas at the mom, may little later concerning alsa and your sound-card [15:47] anyone get their zune working? [15:47] Sinnerman: (it's specified in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf) [15:47] RainCT: no i can't, the system's completely frozen. [15:47] via ssh, I can't connect to http://localhost:631/ while yesterday I could :( [15:47] alraune, kk [15:48] alraune: Yeah it's a Duron, 1.2Ghz. I've run fdisk -l as wols_ suggested. That displayed 3 Partitions. 1 Primary Partition of 39.4Gb 1 Swap partition of 600Mb and 1 Extended partition of a single cylinder [15:48] Sinnerman: didn't you say that you get a GDM screen? [15:48] Prose: is the ssh server running? [15:48] Ziroday; is it same as the websters...do u have suggestions 4 any other dictionary [15:48] Redwing_LiveCD: sudo gparted [15:48] Ziroday: I can ssh into it perfectly [15:48] RainCT: but what is causing it to freeze like this? yes i get a flash of the gdm screen, _then_ it freezes or gives me the corruption. [15:48] My Ubuntu was working correctly but now when booting it hangs at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)". Does anyone know what could be causing this? [15:48] Ziroday: I just can't Lynx or Elinks into Cups config ! [15:48] When I import photos from a digital camera with f-stop it creates duplicates every time I import. Does anyone know how to fix this problem + remove the duplicate images? [15:48] dexter: there are a large amount in the repos, as well english tutoring programs. search for them with synaptic [15:48] how can i start an xnest session remotely then start fluxbox on it? [15:49] Sinnerman: oh, you'll have to boot up with a live CD then and use chroot to modify the file from there [15:49] Sinnerman: I have a similar problem on ATI x300 with games. Examine the xorg log. Overheating is the prime suspect. [15:49] assuming i have both xnest and fluxbox [15:49] alraune: That's open now [15:49] neonDragon2: check that file [15:49] Prose: sorry, to understand better you can ssh just fine. But you cant run a terminal browser? [15:49] it's just got comments and exit 0 [15:49] Redwing_LiveCD: delete any partitions [15:49] RainCT: i have the alternate install cd. :( that still does not tell me _what_ the problem is though, and what im trying to fix. [15:49] Sinnerman: in general fglrx isnt very friendly for x series [15:50] MikeSeth: it cant be overheating, i have two chassis fans, and a huge fan on the ati card. [15:50] Prose: to access the cups web interface? [15:50] IT won't let me delete the Extended partition that contains the swap drive [15:50] Sinnerman: oh its not a laptop? [15:50] alraune: IT won't let me delete the Extended partition that contains the swap drive [15:50] Ziroday: exactly, via ssh, while controlling the terminal on the server machine, Lynx and Elinks can't open http://localhost:631/ [15:50] Redwing_LiveCD: if you are on a Live CD, it will be using the SWAP partition so you can't delete it from there === marko__ is now known as marko-_- [15:50] Does anyone know how to stop F-stop from creating duplicate images when it imports? [15:51] MikeSeth: no it's not a laptop, it's a radeon x1950 pro on a core 2 quad running ubuntu hardy amd64. [15:51] Prose: why are you sshing into your own machine? [15:51] Ahh ok =) [15:51] rainCT: sorry for the dc.......due to rainy season connection is unpredictable here [15:51] deep_blue: got it? [15:51] alraune: Primary partition is now deleted [15:51] so does anyone know what may be causing the problem? [15:51] or come across something similar. [15:51] Prose: and also lynx is probably working just fine, the issue is with the cups web interface [15:51] Er, rather, F-spot, not f-stop [15:51] deep_blue: lol we bot spoke at the same time. no problem :) [15:51] Ziroday: it's a headless server I'm sshing into.. [15:52] Sinnerman: either way, the first stop would be xorg logs and dmesg [15:52] Redwing_LiveCD: delete any partitions [15:52] Ziroday: oh damn me!! I just remembered, I rebooted the thing and I think iptables are screwed [15:52] alraune: I've deleted all the partitions that it will allow me to delete [15:52] MikeSeth: i cant get to either, the system freezes or reboots. [15:52] Prose: possibly [15:53] Redwing_LiveCD: maybe gotta hang out swap first (decrease of speed if little ram) [15:53] rainCT: thanks for all the info. where does public_html gets store and how can I access phpmyadmin? [15:53] Ziroday: yes! there we go, iptables were pretty strict, not it works ! sorry there! thanks for moral support :P :) [15:53] now* [15:53] Sinnerman: the log still gets written [15:53] Sinnerman: (at least it does for me) === kitche_ is now known as kitche [15:53] Prose: anytime :), have fun [15:53] Sinnerman: besides you may be able to log into the box from the outside - usually its the keyboard/display that freezes [15:53] alraune: What do yo8u mean by hang out? [15:53] you* [15:53] ok, MikeSeth i just rebooted with init=/bin/bash there is nothing in the logs. no EE. [15:54] deep_blue: http://localhost/phpmyadmin [15:54] Sinnerman: hmmm.. check the .log.0 file as well [15:54] Redwing_LiveCD: if swap is marked as mounted, unmount it (right-click on it) ;;; if youre lucky, u got at least 300 MB ram (can see it at boot) [15:54] Is there a way to reinstall pidgin?? i have been having errors here is what i get when i try to run from terminal if some one could help me with this i would be vary thankfull :/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/37169/ [15:55] MikeSeth: that's what i just checked. [15:55] alraune: No I can't unmount [15:55] Sinnerman: then it's lspci -vv and a lot of googling :< [15:55] deep_blue: by default it reads the files from /var/www, but you can either rm that directory and symlink some other one to it or change the apache configuration to look somewhere else (if you prefer that approach tell me and I'll explain you how to do it) [15:55] i had some questions about using an ipod in ubuntu. the ipod has been formatted for mac. how do i reformat? also can i crack the ipod to run on opensource software? === quite is now known as rwhe [15:55] djewb: I suggest you run memory tests on your machine, this should not be happening [15:55] is there a plugin for xchat to show the users pane? [15:56] My Intrepid just failed very badly! Suddenly GDM crashed and I tried to reboot. After that GDM never started again. I can't even login on the terminal using my default user.. It says: Unable to cd to /home/ape/. The user should have all rights to it and I can browse it with the root terminal. When I try to 'su ape' it says: Cannot excecute /bin/bash: Permission Denied. Again the user seems to have the x-rights to that.. [15:56] MikeSeth, any recommended software to do so it just started happening last night and pidgin is only thing it dose this on [15:56] What does mean: "# Canonical mapping, commented out." in //usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk? [15:56] MikeSeth: people have told me they had no problems with this card, so i dont know what could have gone wrong. the dmesg.0 log has nothing in it either. everything to do with fglrx says it loaded fine. [15:57] i figured it out, Xnest :3 -ac -name Fluxbox & fluxbox -display :3 [15:57] rainCT: actually I want to keep my files separately (in another partition, if possible) as it becomes easily accessible and safter [15:58] can we browse internet from terminal? just text no images.. is this possible? [15:58] shah: try links or lynx [15:58] shah, yes. i would recommend links2 [15:58] shah, or maybe elinks [15:58] so anyone else come across this white/screen/freeze with ATI cards at the gdm screen, with corruption, and know how to fix it or what's going wrong? [15:59] shah: I use w3m [15:59] MikeSeth, ?? === constrictor_ is now known as constrictor [16:00] But anybody know anything about my problem, I just posted? [16:00] could you help me? I can't set the static IP to my wireless [16:00] deep_blue: yes you can do this with the symlink (sudo mv /var/www /var/www.orig; sudo ln -s /media/.... /var/www, or just placing the symlink into /var/www and then doing http://localhost/synlinkname) [16:00] My SDcard has recently been failing to mount automatically. Could someone please help me troubleshoot this? [16:00] How to run a command BEFORE XSerer inititialises? [16:01] im thinking about installing ipodlinux, has anyone done this? i need advice.

[16:03] alraune: Done [16:03] Redwing_LiveCD: terminal as root: umount /dev/sda5 [16:03] deep_blue: for Photoshop there's The GIMP, for ftp there's gFTP [16:04] deep_blue: Photoshop -> The GIMP, FTP -> gFTP or FileZilla (not sure how good it already is, the port started some months ago) [16:04] LogicalDash: wow.....there is everything in ubuntu ......i was not expecting if there was some........great [16:04] alraune: umount: /dev/sda5: not mounted [16:05] are there any iptables gurus hanging around today? [16:05] deep_blue: for Dreamweaver see http://www.osalt.com/dreamweaver, but I don't think that the programs listed there are as good as it [16:05] Nautilis also supports FTP [16:05] deep_blue: I told you it's easier as you think :) [16:06] Redwing_LiveCd: exept from the masterbootrecord these are good signs for installation, use the alternate cd... === maneta is now known as Maneta [16:06] hay all having some MAJOR issues at the moment.. first issue.. is there a correct way to run fsck on ubuntu parition other then fsck /dev/sda# [16:07] alraune: The alternate disk will still install the GDM right? [16:07] Redwing_LiveCd: check the bios for correct HD_Detection, disable any virusprotection [16:07] Hmm seems my problem was because i set a network proxy ty for trying to help MikeSeth [16:07] rainCT:so there is no good substitute for dreamweaver......:-( [16:08] Redwing_LiveCd: by befault, yes: Kubuntu = kde ubuntu = gdm xubuntu=xfce, but can change later, anyway [16:08] got a question: Is there a way to disable the numpad on a laptop (macbook in this case) when it was turned on with an external keyboard?

[16:24] xnv, fine, make me look dumb :) [16:24] erUSUL, oakgrove, powergoal2 -- apt-cache search searches the descriptions, too, and if i do --names-only then the output is very limited (unlike aptitude search w/ formatting) .. [16:24] deep_blue: use fat32 that way it can be read and write from both windows and linux [16:24] any replacement for "knemo" . it shows live network trafic chart/graph ... ?

[16:25] deep_blue: do you have something like partition magic? or some other partitioning software? [16:25] but with ubuntu it seems now i need some change..........to open source.......which sounds exciting [16:25] lollydays: I do my best [16:25] it look slike im voting NO against Empathy being the default client for Ubuntu [16:25] hey, where did firefoxrc moved to in firefox3.0 ? [16:26] danbhfive, yes; also if i want to play the multimedia file like videos or mp3s using mplayer or rhythmbox it does'nt play; i have to close firefox then open the mplayer or rhytmbox again; the situation is vice versa if i wanna view videos in firefox [16:26] powergoal2....no partition software.....the partition that i created for windows was using the windows xp bootable cd [16:26] Radit: yeah, I have the same problem. I think its an issue with the sound system, pulse-audio [16:26] betapi: just one tiny little problem with all that you're spouting the E5462 Haripes cost 517 each and you get 2 of them, a board that delivers you the same kind of expansion costs 325, 2GB of sutible ram is 90GBP, sutible psu is about 130, chassis another 150 and oh look you're at 1730 you still need your 2600 XT, a HD etc.. [16:26] any ubuntu kernel expert here? [16:26] erUSUL: Oh. I see. Hm. Where is the proper place to configure a xinerama setup? [16:26] sorry [16:27] Radit: don't know the fix though, I've been just living with it [16:27] deep_blue: yeah, i don't know if windows ships with a partitioning program. if you load up the ubuntu livecd you can format and repartition using cfdisk /dev/
to ext3 or something else permitting space for windows on there [16:27] fulhack: well for that i guess that you still have to use a full xorg.conf :| [16:27] what is the easiest option for me to get my pendrive partion....and which format --> FAT32? [16:27] danbhfive, so you have the problem too? [16:27] deep_blue: at the same time you could just go through the install stuff and then be able to do it through the installer. [16:27] Radit: yea [16:28] erUSUL: But if I add things in xorg.conf they WILL be used? It just looks so empty.. I was worried there was a different file :) [16:28] that's what i thought. =P [16:28] For example, when I specify a resolution from within GNOME.. Where is that value stored? [16:28] deep_blue: they are good for different things [16:28] danbhfive: thanks 4 trying to help. i hope they fix this soon.. [16:28] hi i have a problem with my network card. i am in monitor mode, and i need the card to stay on chanel 10 but it keeps surfing through 1-12 or something. how do i make my wireless card stay on channel 10? [16:29] ? [16:29] any replacement for "knemo" . it shows "live" network trafic "gui" chart/graph ... ? [16:29] Radit: im hoping the next version fixes it... if it doesn't, ill start working the launchpad [16:29] hey guys, got a small problem with booting a dmraid. I have successfully installed grub (it boots the initramfs and my XP partition) but for some reason the kernel can't see the root dmraid for the rest of the boot. Checked the how-to but it appears for 7.10, any suggestions? [16:30] i am trying to reinstall postgres (server) but it isn't creating the /etc/init.d file when I do a apt-get install --reinstall on it... How can i tell why this is happening [16:30] xnv: i keep getting errors before nautilus even starts burning. Is there a better app for burning data? [16:30] hi i have a problem with my network card. i am in monitor mode, and i need the card to stay on chanel 10 but it keeps surfing through 1-12 or something. how do i make my wireless card stay on channel 10? [16:30] Quest_: gnome-system-monitor has a simple graphic, if that's enough [16:30] Where can I add --indirect-rendering --loose-binding to compiz setting in Hardy? [16:30] Quest_: you can also get something like that with conky [16:31] !conky [16:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky [16:31] oiramuk: I thought that you set the channel on the router, not the card. The card will just scan all channels [16:31] Quest_: i use conky and i love it [16:31] RainCT iam using kde [16:31] danbhfive: yea but i thought i could set the card as well [16:31] Quest_: http://conky.sourceforge.net/conky.png as an example [16:31] lollydays powergoal2 conky is a live graph? [16:31] ok [16:32] powergoal2: can I get it partition with partition magic software or ubuntu partition commands. So will it be fine if I get 2 partition one with ext3 and one with fat32 [16:33] Quest_: and much more, i have it set up to show live graphs of my eth0, wlan0, harddrive space meter, ram meter, cpu temps, the works [16:33] deep_blue: right. unless you want ntfs for you windows partition. or reiserfs for your linux partition [16:33] lollydays powergoal2 nice. i think ill like it [16:34] i know it's really off-topic but i just need to know quick how to make a big space(?) like tab in html [16:34] Quest_: icewm comes with a builtin net/cpu graph as well [16:34] What does mean: "# Canonical mapping, commented out." in /usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk? [16:34] Quest_: but you would need to switch into icewm instead of kde/gnome [16:34] powergoal2 icewm ? [16:34] how do i enable page-scroll in evince so that i can scroll through the pages without using the "next"-page button? this used to work before a recent update! [16:34] Quest_: its a windowmanager [16:34] !icewm | Quest_ [16:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about icewm [16:34] bullgard4, it means what you read on the comments, and nothing that we can help you with here :) [16:34] hmm.. [16:35] Quest_: http://www.icewm.org/ [16:35] Can anyone here help me with installing ubuntu please [16:35] bullgard4, try #ubuntu-devel you will have better changes of someone which worked on that comment [16:35] k === Syntux is now known as Guest50231 [16:35] bullgard4: canonical means thati ts the way most systems are set up [16:35] bullgard4: or it specifies a particular keyboard setup, but i don't think thats the case === Syntux_ is now known as syntux [16:36] anyone? [16:36] Tooplex: whats the problem? [16:36] Tooplex, be more specific [16:37] any ubuntu kernel expert over here?? [16:37] if anyone is using a logitech quickcam express with 8.04 private message me tkx [16:37] Right, i want to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows XP on the same hard drive, i already have windows on this hard drive but i want to know how i can make ubuntu install to a partion i have created and still have it reconise windows on the boot loader [16:37] joaopinto: Sorry that you did not write 'we' in capital letters. [16:37] Hope you understand all that lol [16:38] alguien que me diga como instalar el wine [16:38] !es | jersson [16:38] jersson: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [16:38] jersson: Por favor habla en Engles. [16:38] timz: one way is with   non-breaking space [16:38] timz: type that instead of a space [16:38] no s ecomo entarar ahi solo nececito instalar el wine [16:38] Tooplex: can you tell me the size of your harddrive, and the size of each partition? [16:38] does the logitech quickcam express that is $4.99 at geeks.com work oob? [16:39] Tooplex: i think that the grub loader will auto-identify the windows system and install an option to the menu [16:39] jersson: escribe: /join #ubuntu-es [16:39] The hard drive altogether is 250 gb, The windows partion is 222 GB and a empty 10 gb Partion (unformated) which i want ubuntu on [16:39] jersson: (aquí mismo donde estas escribiendo ahora) [16:40] Tooplex: how much ram do you have? [16:40] Have a Ubuntu networking wuestion [16:40] 4gb [16:40] Sampe1: ask the question, dont ask to ask the question [16:40] !ask | Sampe1 [16:40] Sampe1: 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. :-) [16:40] Tooplex: are you going to use the 32bit version? [16:40] no i burned the 64 bit one [16:40] RainCT: thats a fancy button you have there RainCT :p [16:40] can somebody point me to the kernel page? [16:40] mib_k18ntknl: kernel.org [16:40] Tooplex: as this is your first time, I personallly recommend going with the 32bit version [16:41] powergoal2: heh. discover the power of ubottu ;) [16:41] RainCT: is there some way to see all available inputs to ubottu? [16:41] Why? How is it any different from 32 bit ( except it cant reconise 4 gb) [16:41] 64bit has its pitfalls [16:41] powergoal2, how about the irc? [16:41] I have three ubuntu boxes (they used to be an assortment of other linux)... when I go to Nautilus and search the network the others don't show up.... a SAMBA share on w indows box does however... I can access these other boxes via SSH and SCP but not graphically... any ideas?... is this an NFS question? [16:41] powergoal2: I am sorry but I do not understand your English "canonical means thati ts the way most systems are set up." [16:41] like flash and firefox being crap === Sampe1 is now known as sampe1 [16:41] Tooplex: but, there will be no harm in just installing to that 10g partition, just forget about swap, you wont need it [16:41] powergoal2: http://jussi01.com/web/factoids.cgi [16:42] Lol [16:42] So i should go and download/burn the 32 bit? [16:42] Tooplex: 64bit, things like flash don't work so straight forward, and I think there are other problems [16:42] hey guys, got a small problem with booting a dmraid. I have successfully installed grub (it boots the initramfs and my XP partition) but for some reason the kernel can't see the root partition and I think it needs to be told to do dmraid for the rest of the boot...somehow Checked the how-to but it appears for 7.10, any suggestions? [16:42] RainCT: thankyou much [16:42] Tooplex: you will have less problems if you do [16:42] Ok thanks ill go do that now [16:42] bullgard4: ok, so canonical means: conforming to recognized rules or laws [16:43] Tooplex, i run 32bit but use the server kernel so it detects all my memory [16:43] how do I kill a program I've ran through wine? [16:43] mib_k18ntknl: im afraid i don't know what you want here === recon is now known as antikittie [16:43] rainCT, powergoal2, redwing, lollydays, ubottu, DM|...........thankyou to all of these guys for helping me out.....:-) Loving Ubuntu.....bye [16:43] chieffancypants: System -> Administration -> System Monitor [16:43] deep_blue: :) good luck! [16:43] powergoal2: i mean the discussion forum [16:43] powergoal2: All right, I got it. Thank you very much. [16:44] chieffancypants: ps aux | grep ; afterwards sudo kill the PID of that program [16:44] RainCT: Thanks. It didn't show up in ps aux for some reason === antikittie is now known as recon [16:44] so its the "Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)" i need to download right? [16:44] mib_k18ntknl: are you trying to manually compile a kernel? [16:44] chieffancypants: You're welcome. If the application is visible you can also do Alt + F2 -> "xkill" and then click on it [16:45] RainCT: Nice. Thanks! [16:45] powergoal2: i think yes..am about recompile the kernel module [16:45] Tooplex: just so you know, 10g is a little small, as long as you don't download large files, whatever, you should be ok. If you stick with ubuntu, you will probably want to make it bigger, and make a separate /home partition too, but that stuff can happen later [16:45] should I be installing NFS so I can see one ubuntu box from another ubuntu box through nautilus? [16:45] Is Ubuntu becoming bloated these days? I had an old desktop (something like 500 MhZ I think) on which I recall installing breezy, now hardy doesn't install on it anymore .. any idea how I can get a basic hardy installation? Or am I better off going on with good old debian? [16:45] [ hello ] [16:46] [ ??? ] [16:46] [ HI } [16:46] hi [16:46] Oh no dont worry I have a seperate 500 gb hard drive [16:46] harisund: have you explored Xubuntu? [16:46] sampe1: no, you can do that with any other filesystem [16:46] used just for data [16:46] sampe1: so long ast there is a network connection [16:46] I was told that cron mails stdout and stderr to me when a job finishes [16:46] sampe1: Is Xubuntu official? I mean, does canonical support it? [16:46] however, I don't know how to get those messages [16:46] xif: That it does. [16:46] mib_k18ntknl: is this useful?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [16:46] SeveredCross: cool... how do I read those messages? [16:46] powergoal2: there is a connection. I can SSH and SCP, but it does not show up in the newtok listing in my nautilus [16:47] xif: It mails them to whoever is set as the maildrop for root...So, they're probably in /var/ somewhere. [16:47] danbhfive:so my data "problems" shouldnt happen [16:47] danbhfive: as ubuntu reconises NTFS [16:47] xif: Check /var/spool/mail. [16:47] SeveredCross: OK, checking [16:47] harisund: dunno.. I know that it is advertised on the ubuntu site a flavour along with kubuntu and edubuntu [16:47] SeveredCross: emptry. [16:47] Hi. I'm trying to set up a 32 bit chroot for my amd64 system to solve some linking issues. The guide I'm following says to run cdebootstrap -a i386, but I assume that's wrong since I have an amd processor. What 32 bit architecture should I target for amd? [16:47] It might require a mail daemon to send mail, though I'm not sure. [16:47] sampe1: if you can connect through ssh and whatnot, you should be able to type the IP into nautilus and connect that way [16:47] xif: It probably requires a daemon then. [16:47] Tooplex: I believe so [16:47] SeveredCross: is there any other way to obtain cron's stderr/stdout then? [16:48] sampe1: the alternative is to use a terminal to navigate the other system [16:48] eblume: No, that's right. i386 is a generic term for any 386 or better processor. [16:48] sampe1: oh ok, I am not really familiar with the website itself, just the mirrors for dowloading and stuff :) I will check it out, thanks [16:48] hello [16:48] I tried syslog, it's not there... [16:48] danbhfive: But what do you mean by a /home partion? [16:48] xif: You can have your script output them both to a file? [16:48] SeveredCross, Thanks very much! [16:48] perhaps this is a stupid question, but i just booted, found that initializing bluetooth was causing the boot process to perpetually hang, so i went into recovery mode, removed the bluetooth script from /etc/init.d/ since i figured i'd never use bluetooth. i have no idea why bluetooth was not initializing properly. for some reason this has caused my USB optical mouse not to function. how do i fix it? [16:48] danbhfive: what does it do exactly? [16:48] SeveredCross: yeah, I would have expected it to be logged somewhere... [16:48] i.e. automatically. [16:48] is there a way to import an x.509 certificate system wide so that all the applications of all the users can use it without additional steps? [16:49] aestrivex: you don't want to get rid of the script, in order to keep it from booting you want to remove it from your rc level [16:49] SeveredCross: but thanks, I'll just log them myself. [16:50] I can use windows fonts in linux can't I? [16:50] powergoal2: maybe so, but in booting into recovery mode i didn't have a lot of options and removed the script because i knew that would probably fix the problem. either way thats what i did. [16:50] Tooplex: well, the short answer is that /home is where all your settings and personal files get stored. If you ever reinstall, everything gets deleted. By putting /home on a separate partition, you can prevent /home from getting deleted, and this when you reinstall, all your files and settings get saved [16:50] chieffancypants: http://www.google.com/search?name=f&hl=en&q=I+can+use+windows+fonts+in+linux+can't+I%3F [16:50] Tooplex: but don't worry about that till you actually tried linux out [16:50] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [16:51] danbhfive: ah i see well i have tryed the live cd that what makes me want to put ubuntu on my machine lol [16:51] chieffancypants https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [16:51] aestrivex: you might be able to get the script from the install cd, or maybe find it online. i don't know why this is happening though [16:51] harisund: when installing ubuntu on a couple of older boxes I found the major limitation was RAM and disk size... if you are bellow 250 meg of ram and don't have enough disk space the install won't go... just remember that just pumping up those two parts doe snot mean you'll have a box worthy of serving media..... xubuntu is trimmed down GUI... I even use ubuntu server that runs without a head for servers... that is a great way to repurpose [16:52] i just saw this crazy video where someone used a terminal command to change his desktop background to a playing video file, how did he do that? [16:52] <[ipc]-michael> yeah [16:52] <[ipc]-michael> net-split? [16:53] he was chuck norris [16:53] hi people, can anyone give me any help getting an external screen to work on a macbook running ubuntu 8.04? [16:53] powergoal2: the goal is NOT to be stuck in a terminal all the time... I spend enough time in there for stuff... I like sometimes to just click and drag when organizing files... and it doesn't make sense why it would not work. [16:53] sampe1: Precisely, repurpose is what I am trying to do ... I guess I will start with a server-install of Ubuntu and work from there [16:53] So when i go to install ubuntu how do i get it to install to my 10 gb partion? When i went on the 64 bit installer there was like 3 options Whole hard drive, i cant remember second one and manuel [16:53] i went on the manuel and wanting to install it to the 10gb confused the heck out of me [16:54] hi all.. someone has a solution to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=888686 ? please? [16:54] sampe1: sorry, im not the one to talk to about it then. i use console only [16:54] Like it asked me for mount point, and what to format it to [16:54] thats what i mainly want help with [16:54] null_byte, either compromise, or consider asking in wine support chan :\ [16:55] Tooplex: the moutpoint you want is / for your root directory [16:55] ok db92:) [16:55] harisund: if you start with a server install (no GUI mind you)... you can always try various flavours of window managers... if you just need a GUI initialy then try out fluxbox, or XFCE (whihc is what xubuntu uses anyways)... all can be installed via the command line using apt-get from the regular repose... just read the docs in the ubuntu forums. [16:55] powergoal: thanks. [16:55] Tooplex: if you want the whole disk used the select whole disk. the problem with how ubuntu does that (in my opinion) is that it creates a number of partitions that i don't ever see being used. [16:55] db92: it says: invite only channel :| [16:55] sampe1: yeah, sorry [16:55] null_byte, cant be :\\\ [16:55] Anyone field some networking file system questions between two ubuntu boxes using a GUI like Nautilus? [16:55] try to join #wine [16:56] ffs [16:56] the chan is #winehq :\\\\ [16:56] Powergoal: If i set it to / will that still make it reconise windows on the other partion? [16:56] oh ok [16:56] works :D thanks again db92 [16:56] what should I install in order to be able to open .rar files? [16:56] Tooplex: if you have a windows partition then don't use whole disk, but create the linux partition mount point as / to use it. it won't change anything about windows [16:57] Greyhound|NB: ubuntu-restricted-extras will install unrar [16:57] Greyhound|NB: i think there is an unrar utility [16:57] Tooplex: your windows partition should be recognized later on in the install process. setting it to / will just allow ubuntu to install. The format should be ext3 === sampe1 is now known as samper [16:57] Greyhound|NB: install unrar-nonfree [16:57] how can u tell if a cronjob is currently running? [16:57] can anyone recommend any application for linux that is like Windows Movie Maker? [16:57] Greyhound|NB: file-roller is capable of using unrar as a backend, so you can open archives like you normally do [16:57] RainCT: can you use ! to get info on any package in the repos? [16:58] powergoal12/danbhfive: So doing that wont touch my windows partion at all? [16:58] powergoal2: no, !info [16:58] thanks [16:58] Tooplex: yep [16:58] "~$ showkey -s; Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console." How to get rid of this error? [16:58] SNuxoll: cool, thanks [16:59] Tooplex: and the windows install should be automatically recognized and installed into the bootloader. [16:59] can anyone please tell me how to move my /home folder to another partition? i formated my c: to ext3 (totally erased window$) and now i want to use that patition as /home. how do i do that??? [16:59] im having problems using an ipod in linux, get error message when i try to load ipod in gtk pod. any suggestions? [16:59] Ok thanks Is there a IRC client in the live cd in case i need help with the install later on? [16:59] l3x: copy the *CONTENTS* of your home to that partition [16:59] bullgard4: you are in a VT not in gnome or kde right? [17:00] l3x: I had a webpage on it at some point [17:00] Tooplex: yes xchat [17:00] What does that mean if I use Legacy driver hardware ? I got thatmesage when I've started elisa. Any thoughts ? [17:00] Tooplex: to be more precise xchat-gnome [17:00] Tooplex: I think there is pidgin actually [17:00] l3x: so in the root of that partition you should have folders for all your users, after you are done [17:00] SNuxoll: then, i have to change my user /home path to that folder and make it mount as /home right? [17:00] l3x: then after that you just need to modify your fstab [17:00] And another question. How can I turn off awn ? [17:00] l3x: no, the home path doesn't need to be changed [17:00] Thought Pidgin is just a msn client? [17:00] l3x: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/11654-how-change-dir-if-missing-user-home-directory.html [17:01] what font does 'pterm' use? i would like to use it in gnome-terminal [17:01] l3x: since when you mount the partition as /home it'll be in the same location [17:01] powergoal2: Yes. [17:01] Tooplex: no it can handle many protocols [17:01] Tooplex: I dunno, I use it for irc :P [17:01] bullgard4: you are trying to identify a keycode, right? [17:01] powergoal2: Yes. [17:01] SNuxoll: thanx very much [17:01] Tooplex: but I suspect that xchat may not be on the livecd [17:01] l3x: no problem, 's what I'm here for :) [17:02] hi guys, trying to use visudo but for some strange reason the normal vim commands won't work.

[17:04] powergoal2: Ihave been using xev in the past. I would like to run the showkey command. [17:04] thesaint4444: hit "i" to go into insert mode [17:04] does anyone know how to configure mpdscribble after installing the package? [17:04] thesaint4444: type whatever you want, hit ESC to back out into command mode [17:04] Hmm. cdebootstrap seems to be failing with at P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-apt [17:04] thesaint4444: then type :wq to save and exit [17:04] Does anyone know about that? [17:04] SNuxoll: thats the problem... it doesnt work! I use vim all the time. [17:05] thesaint4444: well, to be honest, you don't need to use visudo to edit your sudoers file [17:05] thesaint4444: any text editor will work [17:05] SNuxoll: for some strange reason it won't go into insert mode. [17:05] thesaint4444: just make sure that you don't have any wonky syntax or your sudo will be fubar'ed [17:05] bullgard4: have you tried running it as root? sudo showkey -s ? [17:05] SNuxoll: cool.. thats what I will do then. [17:06] Is anyone here familiar with cdebootstrap? [17:06] How do I check which kernel I'm running? === xintron_ is now known as xintron [17:07] Is there an alternative to cdebootstrap I can try, since it seems to be hanging? [17:07] xintron: uname -r [17:08] SNuxoll: ok, thanks. and I suppose just change the permissions to edit and then change them back again? [17:08] powergoal2: 'sudo showkey -s' produces strange results: It scrolls an empty xterm up. Later the prompt appears to the left but the xterm keeps scrolling up. [17:08] thesaint4444: no [17:08] bullgard4: you are in an xterm? [17:08] thesaint4444: sudo vi /etc/sudoers [17:08] powergoal2: Yes sir.

You can correct this by stopping all running instances of VirtualBox and reinstalling the software.." [17:08] sudo visudo [17:08] bullgard4: you have to be in a virtual terminal [17:09] powergoal2: xterm is a virtual terminal. [17:09] bullgard4: switch to the terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 - f6 and login. then use showkey -s [17:09] bullgard4: oh, you're right. you need the terminal [17:09] bullgard4: my bad guy [17:09] SNuxoll: no, the system has it set up as read only but default....

[17:51] this sound is seriously annoying [17:51] ikonia:did you know what is initialramdisk [17:51] mib_k18ntknl: sure [17:52] cannibisi: You will need to restart the computer after it finishes installing the updates. [17:52] aestrivex: try System > Prefs > Sound. You can turn off the bootup sound there, but that doesnt really fix the problem [17:53] ikonia:how to create an initialramdisk??? using mkinitramfs [17:53] mib_k18ntknl: what do you want to put in it ? [17:53] There sure is a lot of "unknown" stuff in my device manager [17:53] im downloading the updates now [17:55] What command will show you all the created users on a system? (not the logged in ones) [17:55] ikonia:my question is how to create it instead of what to put........ [17:55] any one what the proper flash plugin or package is that will work with ubuntu [17:55] mib_k18ntknl: what do you want to put in it ? [17:55] MrVirus: if you install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" you'll get the official plugin sorted [17:56] chimp, cat /etc/passwd [17:56] I want to change screen resolution with a command prompt command. Am using nvidia drivers. Any suggestion what that command line can be? It should be in effect directly and not after X restart. [17:56] MrVirus: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:56] MrVirus: There are some issues with the flashplugin-nonfree that I have encountered but on the other hand I have not tried the other plugins [17:56] joaopinto: thanks [17:57] disabling the login sound in the preferences menu and restarting had no effect; the login sound is still playing perpetually after the login screen [17:57] !flash | MrVirus [17:57] MrVirus: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [17:57] yeah I know what you mean aestrivex [17:57] ikonia:do you have any suggestion? [17:57] it is like the login window has its own set of preferences [17:57] mib_k18ntknl: what do you want to put in it [17:57] so the restrictive is the better bet? === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix-da-catz === stickwithjosh is now known as joshuablount [17:58] MrVirus: I do not know specifically I do not think it could hurt to try the other ones... [17:58] if 2 machines in the same LAN, how do I acces the otherone with a remote desktop, do I need to install something? [17:58] MrVirus: it's the same thing [17:58] GAH HOW DO I TURN THIS DAMN SOUND OFF [17:58] I know the flashplugin-nonfree works for the most part [17:58] I want to change screen resolution without having to use a GUI tool. The best would be only a command line to type in a terminal window. Am using Nvidia drivers and have nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-settings. Any suggestion how to change screen resolution from a terminal window? [17:58] MrVirus: just "more" packages grouped [17:58] ahh ok [17:59] ikonia:something to do with kernel config [17:59] the power management icon thing doesn't detect when a notebook battery is removed. is this normal? [17:59] is there some process that governs the login sound that i can kill in order to shut this off? [17:59] mib_k18ntknl: could you explain what you want to put in please. [17:59] i know i've downloaded and installed it thru FF3.. but every page that contains flash will not show the flash media [17:59] uhh let me look it up [17:59] Is there a nice gui to view mysql databases? [18:00] MrVirus: shouldn't have done it that way [18:00] andi__: phpymyadmin, mysql-navigator [18:00] ikonia: then any idea?> [18:00] hey guys, got a small problem with booting a dmraid. I have successfully installed grub (it boots the initramfs and my XP partition) but for some reason the kernel can't see the root partition and I think it needs to be told to do dmraid for the rest of the boot...somehow Checked the how-to but it appears for 7.10, any suggestions? [18:01] mib_k18ntknl: if you answer my question I may be able to help, but you seem to persistantly dodge it, I'll ask one more time [18:01] for shutting off login sound goto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5030262 [18:01] mib_k18ntknl: "what do you want to put in / update for your init ram disk" [18:01] ikonia : i think i'm figuring that out.. [18:01] is there any way to undo that .. and install the restrictive or other plugins for flash [18:01] aestrivex: first of all, you're going to need to calm down. second, have you been able to change the sound for login to something else? [18:01] MrVirus: sorry, if you install the package it should overwrite, you may want to look in your home directory for the flash plugin and consider removing it fist [18:02] ikonia: to load the vmlinuz [18:02] System->Preferences->Sound->Sounds or System->Administration->Login Window->Accessibility.

[18:09] No problem [18:09] ikonia: the matter is after i recompile the kernel module from the source, it leaves the new kernel config and vmlinuz and system.map in the boot dir [18:10] ikonia:so the next is i having problem for the grub to call the new kernel [18:10] mib_k18ntknl: why have you recompiled a kernel module [18:10] alex: I guess mine works with banshee, but I'm not sure if it's 3rd gen.

[18:19] logging out (restarting X) doesnt help. a reboot does [18:19] chippy: tried another mouse? [18:19] hi [18:20] Gnea, yes. that worked OK. [18:20] how do i get a completely localized gnome in 8.04.1? [18:20] Bad mouse? [18:20] chippy: so it only happens with that particular mouse? [18:20] and after a while of using it [18:20] moldy: "translate what is not translated yet" [18:20] and not if I reboot ubuntu [18:21] hello, can someone using fglrx paste his or her xorg.conf? i've been trying to get fglrx working for an hour, no howtos work, i've rebuilt xorg.conf, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, used aticonfig --initial (which does nothing) but all i get when i start xinit, is a blank screen and computer is unresponsive. xorg log says depth of 8 is not supported, no useable screens found but doesn't drop me back to a prompt, and i clearly have stated in [18:21] my display subsection that it should be running with depth 24 === D is now known as Guest64166 [18:21] chippy: please explain, all in one line, what you mean.. right now, that makes no sense at all.. do you mean that, no matter what mouse you plug in, it always starts to do that after awhile? or does it only occur when you plug a certain mouse in? or what? [18:21] restart [18:21] i have never had so much trouble getting something working on any linux distro === Guest64166 is now known as cluck_norris [18:22] Only if used for a while, Sounds like a short on the pcb in the mouse.

[18:26] Blinkiz: don't run sudo, xrandr only requests xorg change it's current resolution, if you want it to always be set, edit xorg.conf [18:26] ikonia: didn't get your reply i assume no one can help...i'll leave anyway! [18:27] what's the linux cmd line tool that helps me count numbers of lines? [18:27] Blinkiz: also note that the mode has to be supported by Xorg server.

[18:43] Sylphid|work: apt-get remove --purge , but look for warnings concerning additional deleting of other pakets [18:43] ok [18:43] regebro, that is a symptom of OSS not flash... change your sound system to ALSA or pulseaudio [18:43] put it in our .bashrc or similar [18:43] Gnea, georgia were is war [18:44] Sylphid|work: OK, I'll look into that. [18:44] Thanks [18:44] alraune, that only seems to work if the package is still installed, i would like to avoid reinstalling if possible [18:44] dmi3on, outside the scope of this channel [18:44] qrush, what exactly are you trying to do? [18:44] Sylphid|work: restart the gnome gui without killing my apps [18:44] Sylphid|work: see, do have it handy [18:44] don't [18:45] dmi3on: your best bet is to not talk about georgia here :) [18:45] Sylphid|work: with windows you can open up task manager even if explorer or your apps are frozen, kill explorer, and restart it [18:45] Gnea, ook [18:45] dmi3on:/join #ubuntu-offtopic [18:45] qrush, i cant say that i know an easy way to do that.... looking [18:46] who can help with some PulseAudio troubles?

[18:51] slayton: No idea. just the entire gnome desktop locks up [18:51] Do I need to export /home/ubuntu/j2re1.4.2_17/bin/ into /bin with "export PATH=$PATH:/home/ubuntu/j2re1.4.2_17/bin" ? and (2) "export PATH=$PATH:/home/ubuntu/j2re1.4.2_17/jawavs" ? And (3) will my OpenOffice recognize such a java engine? [18:51] favro: furthermore, the last software raid is out of date (7.10) [18:51] right... so if you open htop or top in a terminal you should see which process is consuming the system resources [18:52] CRASH69: Local in that context means only connections from the same computer. [18:52] qrush, ^^ [18:52] qrush, then you can kill that specific process [18:52] linuxkrn: k - someone needs to work on the links then :) [18:52] qrush: I prefer sud oapt-get install nautilus-open-terminal it allows you to rightclick anywhere and open a terminal in that directory [18:52] ubuntu_: it won't hurt, just try it [18:52] qrush, not by default however alt +f2 will open a run dialog box to start a terminal or you can bind a key to start it via system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts [18:52] ok [18:52] ahhhhh, odd XD, thx geirha! [18:52] Sylphid|work: that freezes up too though when gnome-panel does [18:52] Sylphid|work: i'll have to bind a key then. [18:53] qrush, and theres alway ctrl + alt + f1-6 for tty's [18:53] qrush, how long does the freeze last? [18:53] CRASH69: You can still connect from a remote computer though, if you set up an ssh-tunnel. [18:53] Sylphid|work: what? ttys? [18:53] qrush: virtual terminal [18:53] slayton: until i reboot. [18:53] qrush, tty (terminal) [18:54] ctrl + alt + 1..6 isn't doing anything for me [18:54] qrush, so when it freezes can you switch to a terminal with AltCtrlF1 [18:54] qrush, its a terminal w/o a gui ... use ctrl + alt + f7 to get back to the gui [18:54] Oh. [18:54] f [18:54] can anyone tell me where ubuntu starts pulseaudio? It's not with the runlevel scripts, but something user level [18:54] qrush, F1-F6 [18:54] ohhhh. [18:54] qrush: F7 brings the gui back [18:54] That's cool :) [18:54] I will research that later, this will work for now geirha, thx again (I still think it is an odd choice XD) [18:54] does anyone know how to stream to a shoutcast server from songbird? [18:55] qrush, when you freeze switch to a terminal with CTNL ALT F1, start HTOP and watch the processes... one should be eating 100% CPU or a ton of ram [18:55] has anyone solved the WM11 codec thing? [18:55] slayton: alrighty. kill -9 time then :) [18:55] qrush, then in a terminal you can KILL that process and that should release the freeze up [18:55] CRASH69: It's not an odd choice, it's just the wording that should be more specific. ;) [18:55] thanks muchly :) [18:55] qrush, I would try killall first but if you have to use sudo kill -9 then so be it [18:55] Nope, pulsaudio or alsa, makes no difference, Flash will require exclusive use of the sound device to work. [18:55] i already realized that dual booting makes no sense. [18:56] It refuses to make sounds if something else is playing. [18:56] It also prevents anything else from playing until I restart firefox.

[18:58] freddy_, why would {what you said} not make sense? [18:58] how i see in ubuntu what is the name of the network board? [18:58] dual booting is for the person that doesnt believe in the os he is runnig. [18:58] regebro: don't confuse "Linux" with Ubuntu Hardy's current default setup. [18:58] regebro: easy as pie. [18:58] tavi__ what do you mean by name? [18:58] i read some bug reports on launchpad ... [18:58] and the drivers for upgrading [18:58] alex-weej: So, how?

[18:58] tavi__, or lspci | grep net [18:58] nixnoob : go for it, i'm like linux.. free [18:58] I try to coonect to #offtopic - but it seems-2-b unavailable... What name is right? Or #offtopic on irc.freenode.net ? [18:58] ok [18:59] does anyone have a fix for this? [18:59] alex-weej: And if it was just "setup" I would be OK with it. It's loads more, but that is a different topic. Or rather, five different topics. [18:59] freeflowcauvery, np [18:59] ok [18:59] regebro: it is ONLY flash that is the problem. blame adobe. [18:59] xanax`: only if mom or dad suffers from depression [18:59] ubuntu_: well depends on which offtopic channel you want there is #ubuntu-offtopic among others [18:59] my internet get down often [18:59] regebro: but if you want to go back to a gutsy pre-pulseaudio configuration, that's easy [18:59] ok [18:59] and i do not know what to do [19:00] does ubuntu come with gpm installed by default? [19:00] regebro: remove the packages "libflashsupport" and "pulseaudio", as a user run "asoundconf unset-pulseaudio", and go to System -> Preferences -> Sound and choose the right ALSA devices [19:00] picca: no [19:00] alex-weej: No, it should simply not be possible to block the sound device like that. So I don't agree it's adobes fault. [19:00] do you know a program that fix internet conexions on ubuntu? [19:00] should spend our energies complaining about other things, not one's laziness to "setup" [19:00] thanks alex-weej [19:00] regebro: it is adobe's fault. i know more about it than you. [19:00] tavi__ contact your isp [19:00] alex-weej: OK, I'll try that. [19:00] any one here know virtualbox well? [19:00] forget that [19:00] tavi__, what kind of connection do you have? [19:00] does anyone know how to stream to a SHOUTCAST/ICECAST server from songbird? [19:00] rubinboy, there's also #vbox [19:01] broadband [19:01] 6mb [19:01] regebro: if you want predictable output latency, you can not use the ALSA DMix layer, so you HAVE to acquire exclusive access. [19:01] tavi__, what is the connection into your computer? cable, ethernet? [19:01] thanks @ ice_cream [19:01] ethernet [19:01] !ethernet [19:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ethernet [19:01] yeah not like its important [19:01] !interfaces [19:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about interfaces [19:01] tavi__ when your internet goes down it could be a couple of things... 1- the connection from your ISP is down, 2- your Modem is down, 3- your connection to your modem is down, 4- your computer is down [19:02] regebro: the problem is that with libflashsupport on Flash 9 (required to get it using PulseAudio), Adobe have bad code that causes its own plugin to free memory twice when destructing the plugin so it dies. [19:02] tavi__, next time it goes down open a terminal and type: ifconfig [19:02] I am trying to compress a 5.5 gig folder so i can move it to a fat32 partition. I keep using tar to compress it, but it gives me an error 2 gigs in and exits. [19:02] !commands > ice_cream [19:02] ice_cream, please see my private message [19:02] alex-weej: So, it's the ALSA dmix layer that sucks. There is no reason you should need excluseive access to have predictable latency. [19:02] regebro: Flash 10 does not require libflashsupport to work with PulseAudio, but it has its own set of crashers [19:02] tavi__, if you have an IP address then it isn't the connection from your computer to your modem that is the problem it is something from the modem on [19:02] DM|, how are you using tar to compress? [19:02] alex-weej: That is not the problem I have. [19:02] tavi__, then all you can do is reset your modem or contact your isp [19:02] I got ubuntu to recognize my extra mouse buttons but they still dont work in my virtual box... any ideas? [19:02] regebro: exactly -- that's what PulseAudio gives you, predictable latency with multiple channel mixing [19:03] from sistem administration netwrork when i setted one day ago dhcp was working [19:03] tavi__, but if your computer is having problems staying connected to the modem then the problem is something that you can fix [19:03] alex-weej: Great. [19:03] deeperror tar -cf [19:03] man when i had have windows all was good [19:03] haha [19:03] uola [19:03] DM|, that isn't compressing the file at all...how much hdd space do you have? [19:04] DM|, df -h [19:04] is the 3 day when internet fall on ubuntu [19:04] deeperror aH! thats the problem [19:04] deeperror wow i cant believe i over looked it [19:04] DM|, use gzip to compress [19:05] deeperror how so via command line? [19:05] alex-weej: So, when you say "choose the correct ALSA devices" it measn I shouldn't use autodetect, but select the ALSA stuff? [19:05] Is it possible to do mouse gestures in Ubuntu? Meaning, right click, drag certain directions, and it does something? Like firefox has in the gestures plugin? [19:05] regebro: you can use autodetect if that works for you [19:05] how would i go about adding/changing some switch or option on a built-in command (e.g. add an -F option to apt-cache) [19:05] DM|, maybe -cfz [19:05] tavi__, get the model of your ethernet adapter then google for you model + ubuntu and see what comes up, chances are someone else has already solved this problem... the answer is probably there in google [19:06] DM|, -cfZ [19:06] regebro: you have to remove pulseaudio so that dmix can be used. DMix does mixing just like PulseAudio, except Flash works with it. [19:06] has anyone solved the WM11 codec thing? [19:06] ok [19:06] axenory: Windows Media 11? [19:06] axenory: what are you trying to play? [19:06] alex-weej: OK, I see. Trying out... [19:06] i have dinamic ip [19:07] cjohnson_: there is a compiz plugin for gestures [19:07] tavi__, that doesn't matter [19:07] cjohnson_: do you know how to configure Compiz? [19:07] alex-weej, I do [19:07] hi all, does anyone know how I can make my current ubuntu persistant (for a party), so every change (eg new files etc) is "forgotten" after a reboot? [19:07] alex-weej, but as far as I can tell, that's just for the screen edges to activate things isn't it? [19:07] ok [19:07] hi [19:07] hi, im trying to use an external monitor instead of my laptop screen and i can't get hardy to change the resolution [19:07] using the gui or xrandr [19:07] magicrobotmonkey, how did you get it to export the display [19:07] alex-weej, a song and it says that it cannot be played because codecs that arent installed yet .. but it doenst look foward for them .... so I played around and figured out that was a new WM11 codec that wasnt available for ubuntu yet.. [19:07] force, can you put it into read only mode? [19:07] cjohnson_: not sure, i've just seen a gestures plugin knocking around... [19:07] magicrobotmonkey, are you using nvida? [19:08] axenory: probably has DRM? [19:08] does anyone know of a cool dock i could use here? something like kiba-dock or awn? [19:08] magicrobotmonkey, if you are install nvidia-settings to change your screen resolution [19:08] deeperror, how can I do this? [19:08] mrpiracy: awn. :P [19:08] alex-weej, what is it === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [19:08] alex-weej, i tried awn, but it is kinda limited [19:08] !drm > axenory [19:08] axenory, please see my private message [19:08] alex-weej: OK, no luck yet, will try some more setting later. Thanks for the help. [19:08] does the installer automatically reboot your computer after it's done? cause I wasn't looking while it was installing and now my screen is black! [19:08] slayton: nope its an intel 950 gma or whatever [19:09] regebro: run "killall pulseaudio" [19:09] deeperror when i try to cp a file, it just says omitting file but does not copy it, any ideas? [19:09] alex-weej, i cant move it and its kinda buggy on hardy x64 [19:09] regebro: stick around for 1 minute i will point you at a launchpad ticket [19:09] magicrobotmonkey, well can't help you there then [19:09] ok [19:09] sigh, doesn't anyone know about the default initramfs and dmraid? Been asking for hours now [19:09] force, not really sure...could try to remaster a live cd of your existing configuration that would be fun [19:10] alex-weej: OK, the killall did it! [19:10] DM|, is it the disk space issue again? [19:10] Thanks! [19:10] deeperror nope, 95g avail now. [19:10] deeperror: how do you do that? [19:10] was sounded, immediately dashed off again, returning to the labour and sacrifices made [19:10] deeperror, hm, yeah that would be a way [19:10] !initramfs > linuxkrn if your wondering just rebuild the initrd yourself if your not getting an anwser [19:10] linuxkrn, please see my private message [19:10] regebro: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/198453 might be interesting to you [19:10] GleepGlop, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch [19:11] Launchpad bug 198453 in pulseaudio "Default ALSA device must use PulseAudio, otherwise ALSA applications may fail" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:11] kitche: Sorry, I don't know anything about initramfs [19:11] ty deeperror [19:11] deeperror, of which filled me with the whole is thickly sprinkled [19:11] alex-weej, hehehe are you playing with me:P ubottu is saying that he doesnt know anything about that [19:11] ntesla, ? [19:11] kitche: problem is the how-to is for 6 and 7.10, nothing about 8.04 [19:11] <[droide]> I need help with nvidia-settings, the resolutions in my screens are totally wrong and can't put em any higher. Anyone? [19:11] !drm > alex-weej [19:11] alex-weej, please see my private message [19:11] nobody here knows how to stream to SHOUTCAST servers from ubuntu? [19:11] !drm [19:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about drm [19:11] axenory: lol, fail. [19:11] alex-weej, lol [19:11] DM|, not sure on that maybe a pastebin of what you see? [19:11] linuxkrn: not much is different between the versions really so it does work [19:12] deeperror, I just thought there would be another way....but I will try this...hopefully it is not too slow ;) [19:12] thx ^^ [19:12] when gutsy is done installing does it reboot automatically? [19:12] drm, funny on so many levels [19:12] exit [19:12] deeperror cp: omitting directory `Windows XP Pro' [19:12] alex-weej, so miss spelled or wrong solution? [19:12] axenory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management [19:12] force, could maybe just setup another user account and copy your home directory to that new account? [19:13] deeperror, hm...I don't know...it would be still possible to read my "normal" home.dir, wouldnt it? [19:13] DM|, maybe cp -rf [19:14] Hi. I'm trying to set up a chroot environment for a 32 bit system. I'm mostly set, but I keep getting errors about locales. [19:14] I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure locales [19:14] force, not if they are logging in under a different account [19:14] http://www.petitiononline.com/557799/petition.html [19:14] but it just generates the same error again. Does anyone know what that might be about? [19:14] guys i have ubuntu 7.10 cd [19:14] alex-weej, but this is no solution right? [19:14] force, just setup a party account and set it up the way you want then login with your other account after everyone leaves ha [19:15] and it freez and hang when i start it [19:15] axenory: no, just information about it [19:15] when gutsy is done installing does it reboot automatically? [19:15] axenory: Windows Media is generally Bad News [19:15] a bad fall i sustained by jumping with an enormous train and attendants [19:15] theBrettman: the Live CD installer will ask you and wait [19:15] theBrettman, it will prompt you if it needs to reboot [19:16] basin,did you do an md5sum on the disk? sounds like a bad disk [19:16] deeperror, I added a restricted user a few minutes ago and I was just able to read my whole home-folder - would it be bad if I change the chmod of my home folder? [19:16] if it did reboot, is there a key combo to exit X? [19:16] using rw cd's are dodge some times it just doesnt boot correctly [19:16] why my cd dosnt start? [19:16] @force to what? [19:16] Basim, please see moshe's advice. [19:16] theBrettman: ctrl+alt+backspace will stop X [19:16] alex-weej, if thats true I will be so f***, omg! so there are some music I ll never be able to listen to.. isthat waht you are telling me? [19:17] Basin,the cd could be a bad copy [19:17] <[droide]> I need help with nvidia-settings, the resolutions in my screens are totally wrong and can't put em any higher. Anyone?

[19:18] nvm, gdmsetup, I found it [19:18] no [19:18] Does anyone know why I would be getting an error about misconfigured locales in a chroot environment that I am setting up? [19:18] I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure locales to no avail, it just gives the same locale error. [19:18] axenory: then it may not have DRM. perhaps you could send me a small file and i could check it for you? [19:18] alex-weej, no its just some music I downloaded from frostwire [19:18] axenory: ok, it's probably fine then. [19:19] alex-weej, there you go [19:19] alex-weej, accept it and tell me what do I have to do to put it playing [19:20] axenory: can you email? alex@weej.com [19:20] deeperror, thank you for the help, have to go ^^ [19:20] bye =) [19:20] file transfers over IRC seem to be a non-starter here... think it's my network [19:20] one should think that so simple and the first will then give tip to [19:21] email....

Is this the right place to ask? [19:44] ntesla: huh? [19:44] How can I get deskbar 2.20.2 in gutsy? [19:44] poningru, thanks, is it necessary to re-login to make changes effect? [19:44] i want to extract zip and rar wich command should i use to download software to do it ? [19:44] hfmls: the package unrar should be enough [19:45] why do i always have to ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f7 after the screen saver? [19:45] hfmls- you don't need to install anything, ubuntu can do that by default. [19:45] i can't open .-zip files [19:46] hello [19:46] the other remaining open, a true monument of past ages, we should push the development [19:46] hfmls: What release are you running?

[19:46] hfmls: unzip should do it [19:46] I just sudo chmodded the /etc/sudoers file, but now i can't sudo chmod it back, because its not in mode 0400. How can i get sudo working again? [19:46] it doesnt [19:46] for several hours once building it up [19:47] hfmls: i use file roller, it works fine [19:47] does any one know if exaile has a website.. or where i can find plugins for it [19:47] How can I get deskbar 2.20.2 in gutsy? [19:47] cjohnson: check the repositories. If its not there google it [19:48] cjohnson: by google it i mean google a download for it [19:48] I lost my WPA password but it's still in the keyring, how can I make the keyring display it ? [19:48] hey is there a way to put ubuntu in saving battery mode [19:48] ? [19:48] Prose, just open up NetworkManager and have it display [19:49] hey is there a way to put ubuntu in battery saving mode? [19:49] why does ubuntu overwrite by locale if I login from another host via ssh? [19:49] by locale => my locale [19:50] /etc/pam.d/sshd contains auth required pam_env.so envfile=/etc/default/locale, which essentially overwrites the locale by the default one [19:50] poningru: I seriously can't find it [19:50] is there a way to stop ubuntu from asking me a root password all the time i want to install something? [19:51] poningru: scrach that [19:51] scratch that [19:52] is there a way to colorize my term in ubuntu? [19:52] Dethray, you term? [19:52] Go to Edit menu > Current Profile > Colors [19:52] the default terminal [19:52] Dethray: there is a line to uncomment.. perhaps in ~/.bashrc or some similiar file [19:53] ok, i am trying to unpack a gz file i downloaded, but it says the program doesnt have access to mkdir .... how do i give this program access to perform this? [19:53] How can I get deskbar 2.20.2 in gutsy? [19:53] how can i change server? [19:54] mike IM there [19:54] mrpiracy, extract the file in a folder your user has permissions in [19:54] mrpiracy, or do sudo tar zxvf filename.tar.gz [19:54] deeperror, i am trying to save it into my home folder [19:54] does "sound recorder" need jack to work? or what does it use? [19:54] deeperror, using "archive manager" [19:55] I get a 'resource not found error' when I press play. [19:56] cjohnson_: we already told you where but here http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/deskbar-applet/2.20/deskbar-applet-2.20.3.tar.bz2 and compile === nick_riviera is now known as m4jkl [19:56] oh god, spamza really does work, I created a throwaway email to test it [19:56] mrpiracy, that i'm not sure [19:56] this is evil [19:56] rooted this tendency has become realizable through my oscillators will profoundly affect human life [19:57] deeperror, so do i have to go command line everytime i need to uninstall a package? [19:57] deeperror, ops, unpack* [19:57] a mrpiracy man called mane, employed to do [19:57] mrpiracy, it doesn't sound like you are installing packages as you are working with gz files? Wouldn't that be source? [19:58] deeperror, it's skype ... i just got it from their website ... it comes in a gz package [19:58] deeperror, i think i'll have to extract and run ./configure [19:58] Hey guys, what is wrong with these rules: http://rafb.net/p/pCvLfU40.html I get the following error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name ? [19:58] yea to install that i think there is an ubuntu specific binary that will work [19:59] 5 minutes in, I now have over 300 junk messages [19:59] hello all, i'm new here [19:59] deeperror, anyway, i wanted to stop ubuntu from asking my password ALL THE TIME, it's annoying [19:59] deeperror, looks like UAC in Vista [19:59] i hope this is the right place, if not i'll try elsewhere, but can i ask troubleshooting questions here for ubuntu? [20:00] mrpiracy, you should download the .dev file for ubuntu set permissions on that to +x and execute it [20:00] s/.dev/deb [20:00] deeperror, there's no deb file [20:00] Yay colored bash is fun. :) [20:01] Thanx [20:01] Hi I am having a little trouble with keyboard settings. Can anyone help? [20:01] http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ what is the first link? [20:01] when first shown in the other hand, currents of different phase, and a bundle [20:01] hey everyone... i'm having problems installing ubuntu on my RAID1 config, for alot of reasons, and i was wondering if i remove one of the drives... stick it in another computer... install ubuntu... swap the drive and reconnect it to the RAID array... will that work? [20:03] I'm trying to setup a Vista laptop with a 64GB disk to run both Win and Ubuntu (dual boot). what tool do you recommend me to use to partition my disk? how much space should I anticipate to use for ubuntu? I basically only need OpenOffice, Firefox, MySQL, Apache and PHP... [20:03] deeperror, ohhh, yes, sorry ... i am trying skype AND songbird RC2 [20:04] deeperror, songbird is the one in gz file [20:04] deeperror, but skype now is telling me it's wrong architecture i386 (i'm on x64) [20:04] andresmh: if you're only going to use one partition I'd make it.. well.. about 30GB or so.. that will leave you some room for files too [20:04] to leave no room for a while [20:04] mrpiracy, i go command line when working on most things so not sure how to further assist on that [20:04] a line of inventors [20:04] and now i felt that the specter of exhaustion is looming up threateningly in [20:05] I want to have a separate partition just for files (to be shared among Win and Ubuntu) [20:05] can ubuntu MID run on the iphone? === Lord is now known as Guest27531 [20:05] andresmh: but if you really want it to be lean you can slim that down to 20GB.. or even 15GB if you keep track of what you're doing so you don't run out of space [20:05] hey folks...what possibilities do i have to crypt an external usb mass storage device? [20:05] beli, truecrypt is cool [20:06] So I think I still have windows installed on this computer, how do I check and/or remove it? [20:06] smart is a radical change must be going!, and calling for help [20:06] I would like to be able to type letters with umlauts and accents (eg. ï) on my US keyboard, but the Alt+number trick does not seem to work [20:06] so just ubuntu alone takes 15GB min? [20:06] deeperror, can i bypass this check on architecture? i had skype working in my previous x64 ubuntu install [20:06] andresmh: my ubuntu install uses about 8GB of disk space at the moment.. but then I've installed some extra stuff [20:06] andresmh: no [20:06] innumerable uses of great importance [20:06] mrpiracy, probably need to go from source then on skype and configure from there [20:06] andresmh: ubuntu's defailt install is about 1.2 gig [20:07] Hi. Can any one help me. I'm kinda new to linux. installed ubuntu and trying to connect to my wireless network. It said i'm connected and got an ip. but cant ping router and got no internet ???? [20:07] deeperror, ok, thx, gonna give it a try [20:07] ikonia: that sounds more reasoable, especially since the installer CD is only ~700MB [20:07] andresmh: no way, that's too much.. unless you install every last possible package for it [20:07] sorry, my internet screwed up. what ubuntu variant was recommended to me? [20:07] ever since that time i have the palaces and pyramids, the function of a kind [20:07] !wireless | Guest27531 [20:07] Guest27531: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:07] deeperror: hmm ok, can i encrypt system partitions with it? [20:07] andresmh: keep in mind the cd is installed on a compressed file system called squash fs [20:07] how do i unlock folder when they have the lock icon [20:08] I'm trying to build deskbar 2.20.3 in gutsy from this url: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/deskbar-applet/2.20/deskbar-applet-2.20.3.tar.bz2 and it says that it can't find gnome-python-2.0...sudo apt-cache search gnome-python doesn't give anything but the development version of gnome-python-2.0 [20:08] milan: google about linux and permissions.... [20:08] milan: change the permissions with a root acount [20:08] !permissions > milan [20:08] milan, please see my private message [20:08] ubuntu 8.0.4, how can I make programs start when I log on? [20:08] i see [20:08] !permissions | milan [20:08] milan: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [20:08] TaoTeShaun: im back, how did it go? [20:08] juro: make an initscript [20:08] !session | juro [20:08] juro: 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 [20:08] andresmh: For example, I have a twenty gig partition and after installing everything I need, I'm only using three and a half. [20:08] so how should i go about setting things up? i am currently on vista. i tested the live cd and most stuff works... but I'm afraid running the installation from the CD might screw up my master boot sector or something like that [20:08] juro: or put them in your .gnome session file [20:08] thank you [20:08] and make improvements, and a number of the first with [20:09] ikonia: ah, didn't see that right away.. lag and sudden jump [20:09] ikonia: thank you [20:09] Gnea: not a problem [20:09] all the files have disappeared from my Desktop. The files are definitely there, i can see them in the file manager. I've done a "killall gnome-panel" but that doesn't fix it. [20:09] what's up with my desktop ? [20:09] all views ... [20:09] the views of life and death [20:10] So I think I still have windows installed on this computer, how do I check and/or remove it? [20:10] babo: the gnome-panel doesn't manage the files on your desktop.. I think nautilus does that [20:10] who does not believe him [20:10] andresmh: ACTUALLY, it works best to install Ubuntu after Windows. By default, grub will install itself and automatically detect/integrate your Vista partition. [20:10] so gnome cannot connect to samba shares anymore for some reason [20:10] what's a good irc channel for tcp related questions, e.g., routing, etc.? [20:10] babo: try ctrl-alt-backspace to restart [20:10] can ubuntu MID run on the iphone? [20:10] trippss: #networking [20:10] and run away he would flap his huge wings in glee [20:11] Gnea, thanks [20:11] Anyone...anyone at all? [20:11] !anyone | hal_v2 [20:11] hal_v2: 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? [20:11] bobertdos: that's great. thanks. What about creating a separate partition for my docs? Would you recommend doing that during the repartitioning done by the Ubuntu installer? [20:11] Anyone...anyone at all? [20:11] Anyone...anyone at all? [20:11] Anyone...anyone at all? [20:11] if i wanted to install ubuntu on a windows system, but i didn't want to lose the windows files ? [20:11] !repeat | hal_v2 [20:11] hal_v2: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [20:11] lol [20:11] babo: I don't advise that at all [20:11] !abuse > hal_v2 [20:11] hal_v2, please see my private message [20:12] ikonia: really ? what about a dual boot then ? [20:12] hal_v2: wow.. that's a good way to get help.. be really annoying.. yes.. I feel it now.. I want to spend my time answering your questions.. [20:12] babo: dual boot on seperate partitions is fine [20:12] hi all, does anyone know, how I can dsiable alt+tab and alt+esc ? [20:12] Stop taking yourself so seriously. [20:12] lol [20:12] ikonia: an ubuntu install will wipe the disk ? i guess that makes sense ... [20:12] So I think I still have windows installed on this computer, how do I check and/or remove it? [20:12] Is there a way to set firefox to use a proxy server only when visiting specific websites? [20:12] babo: no it won't [20:12] hal_v2, do you have an ntfs partition on your computer? [20:13] babo: you can set ubuntu to create partitions/file systems and install to where ever you want [20:13] * Gnea goes back to work [20:13] I'm not sure. [20:13] ikonia: but the file tables will be lost ... [20:13] andresmh: Yeah, you can certainly feel free to do that if you wish. If you want to do it later, you can have gparted do it. In the meantime, because Vista is too much of a pain in the but to freshly reinstall, I also recommend letting Ubuntu resize your current partition. [20:13] babo: no [20:13] hal_v2, type this in a terminal "sudo fdisk -l" [20:13] ikonia: well why wouldn't you advise it then ? [20:13] a terminal of less than 90 feet in diameter [20:13] bobertdos: thanks! [20:13] i'll do that [20:13] ikonia: will ubuntu repartition a windows harddrive ? [20:13] I got a thinkpad x300 with Dual 2 Core, should I install Ubuntu 64 or 32 bits? For some reason the Vista that came with it is 32-bit [20:13] force: with metacity, you can do it in gconf-editor /apps/metacity/global_keybindings [20:13] babo: because on a windows file system is a non-native file system and the potential for issues/corruption is high in my opinion [20:13] babo: if you guide ubuntu it will yes [20:13] hal_v2, on the right it shows a list of your partitions underneath the "System" header [20:13] hal_v2, see if any say "ntfs" or "fat" [20:14] crdlb, thanks, I will try it out =) [20:14] andresmh: unless you have a really good reason I'd say go with 32-bit [20:14] older reason asserts itself and we formed a psychological society for the first report electrified new york city, or what? [20:14] I see Linux Extended and Linux swap / Solaris [20:14] hal_v2, that's all? [20:14] anyone run grub2? [20:14] Yes. [20:14] i may say, is accurately proportioned to fit the globe if necessary, with inexhaustible resources and immense population thoroughly imbued [20:14] hal_v2, if so, you have no windows on your machine, congratulations :D [20:14] YAY! Free of the plague! [20:14] ikonia: the ubuntu disk will repartition a windows drive successfully before install allowing a successful dual-boot arrangement ? [20:14] Slart: I've heard 64-bit is better at power management, which seems important for a laptop... [20:14] remains today seems like a calamity [20:14] babo: if you guide it to it will [20:15] andresmh: you heard wrong on that [20:15] !ot | ntesla [20:15] ntesla: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:15] welcome! [20:15] ikonia: is dual-booting easy ? [20:15] !bot [20:15] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [20:15] babo: if you read the text on screen and think about what your doing, it's very easy [20:15] why is my transfer of files to my windows partition all of a sudden so slow, its like transferring at 2.0Mb/sec :/... ? [20:15] why will gnome not connect to smb shares but cli will? [20:15] Hi Im trying to use ALSA with wine and I need a way to select the SB rather than the HDMI interface, can only one help? [20:15] andresmh: hmm.. I don't think 64bit is better at anything but raw calculations .. and handling more memory [20:15] andresmh: If you know you've got a 64-bit board, it's your decision. Certain things like Flash and Java can give you big headaches in 64-bit Ubuntu, but other than that, it works pretty darn well. [20:15] ikonia, ubuntu live will give me the option of setting up a dual-boot ? since when ? [20:15] babo, don't select guided partitioning during that step [20:16] babo: how many times "yes" if you pay attention to whats on screen and answer the questions your asked it will do it fine [20:16] can ubuntu MID run on the iphone? [20:16] Tironos_Drii: mid ? [20:16] babo, instead, resize your current partition and choose the new empty space to write to [20:16] Tironos_Drii: as in a midi file ? [20:16] ikonia: since when does ubuntu offer a Q&A to dualbooting though ? [20:16] crdlb, it works, thanks!!! [20:16] babo, or however you want it set up [20:16] =) [20:16] !dualboot | babo [20:16] babo: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [20:16] Slart, bobertdos, ikonia: interesting. I do have 4GB of memory. Will Ubuntu 32-bit recognize the 4GB? [20:16] babo: don't be silly, it asks you things like "do you want to wipe the whole disk" - obviously if you say "yes" you won't be dual booting [20:16] http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile [20:16] andresmh: No it will not. [20:17] andresmh: not all of it.. you'll be able to use something like 3.5 GB [20:17] Tironos_Drii: I dont believe so [20:17] :< [20:17] andresmh: it will with PAE extensions [20:17] andresmh: considering you've got 4GB of memory I'd say install the 64-bit version [20:17] it's interesting that Vista 32bit does recognize the 4GB [20:17] ikonia: right. but at some stage the boot loader is going to have to be edited no ? or is that taken care of ? I'm just trying to gauge the complexity here cause it's my mates computer. My laptop is dual-boot but i set it up a few years ago and as i remember it wasn't a trivial task ... [20:17] maybe it's lying [20:18] ikonia: does PAE come with any regular consumer computers? [20:18] Is there a way to set firefox to use a proxy server only when visiting specific websites? [20:18] anybody knows the freeze problem of ubuntu 8.04 ? [20:18] andresmh: or maybe you do have 64-bit Vista and the labels on the system are wrong :D [20:18] babo: if you read the screens it will tell you when / if it's updating the boot loader as the boot loader will be replaced from windows to the "grub" boot loader === milos_ is now known as Kaurin [20:18] Slart: I believe on most recent boards it will be available. [20:18] Alemanne86, it's a penguin, it's meant to freeze every now and again ... [20:18] hkittysmoothie, don't think so what are you trying to do? [20:19] bobertdos: hehe. i'm reading it on the system info utility "32-bit operating system" [20:19] ikonia, since when did the dual-boot option become so easy on Ubuntu Live ? [20:19] ikonia: hmm.. wikipedia had some good info on it.. seems it should be supported on almost everything these days.. [20:19] babo: always been that way [20:19] deeperror, I want to access my wordpress server, but I can't use "localhost" and putting my external IP redirects me to my LAN configuration page [20:19] hmm [20:19] Slart: exactly, pretty much [20:19] Slart: but your right the odd one won't have it [20:19] andresmh: Okay, odd, but I wouldn't sweat it too much. Go with 64-bit Ubuntu. [20:20] thx [20:20] hkittysmoothie, how about updating hosts? [20:20] deeperror, what do you mean? [20:20] skype start automatically on startup but doesn't appear in the startup list when I go system->preferences->sessions? how to stop it starting? [20:21] hkittysmoothie, what is the ip of the wordpress server? add that to /etc/hosts along with the domain that you want to point to that address [20:22] deeperror, how should I format it? [20:22] changke: Maybe Ubuntu was set to remember sessions and it remembered Skype running from a previous session.......... [20:22] anyone know if webmin supports iscsi target mgmt? [20:22] khaije1: webmin is not supported or an ubuntu product [20:22] Kaurin: therefore it's nothing to do with ubuntu [20:22] <_2> i still need/want to get my broken "su" working, any help here ? [20:22] eh? :) [20:23] _2: what's up [20:23] Kaurin: webmin is not made by ubuntu - nor is it in the ubuntu repos/supported by the ubuntu community [20:23] <_2> ikonia su is still broken on the pindrive [20:23] deeperror, nevermind my last question, I added it to /etc/hosts, now what? [20:23] _2: what's the issue though [20:23] ikonia: i dident ask... khaije1 did i think :D [20:23] fgsfds [20:23] Kaurin: apologies, didn't see the difference [20:23] <_2> ikonia i think we talked yesterday su: permission denied! [20:23] hahah its ok :P [20:23] khaijel : did you know how to setting usb cdma modem on ubuntu [20:24] _2: don't think we did [20:24] nice talking to ya, later [20:24] <_2> ikonia and perms on /bin/su are 4755 [20:24] !sudo | _2 [20:24] _2: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [20:24] i would only use webmin locally if at all [20:24] _2: what's up with that [20:24] <_2> bobertdos thank you for the heads up if i need that i'll remember it. [20:24] bobertdos: pay attention to what he's talking about before randomly hitting factoids [20:24] Is it possible to create a link from a folder? [20:24] <_2> ikonia ? [20:25] _2: setuid read execute, looks fine [20:25] _2: or am I missing something ? [20:25] Carpe|Diem: link from a folder? do you mean a link *to* a folder? [20:25] _2: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 30288 2008-04-03 02:07 /bin/su [20:25] skype starts automatically on startup but doesn't appear in the startup list when I go system->preferences->sessions? how to stop it starting? [20:25] Phipho: there is bitpim, aside from that whatever ppp app you like [20:25] <_2> ikonia yes i know. that's just the default next question, what are the perms on /bin/su i was anticipating [20:26] could anyone explain to me why would my file transfer to another partition be so slow, its like transferring at 2.0Mb/sec? [20:26] _2: ooh, no, I'm waiting for you to tell me tbe problem [20:26] hello! is there anyway to learn my ip from bash? [20:26] ratpoison: ip addr [20:26] (not the lan ip) [20:26] Phipho: they often need root access to open the /dev/ttyACM device though so be mindful of that [20:26] ratpoison: ifconfig [20:26] Slart, yes, like using the link command in shell [20:26] ratpoison: well, what ip then [20:26] <_2> ikonia i did. su: permission denied! <<< [20:26] _2: this is an ubuntu box ?

I've already got a 64 bit installation and I want a 32 bit clean environment (not chroot) as well, and I'd love to avoid having to burn a disc. [20:31] <_2> ikonia just one path all others are libs without paths [20:31] <GleepGlop> ratpoison: np, i had to use that with afraid.org to change/update my dynamic ip [20:31] <lenswipe> Slart: No [20:31] <changke> ] /ignore [20:32] <ikonia> _2: I think thats the problem [20:32] <lenswipe> Slart: i want to write to /var/www with a windows machine using samba [20:32] <burhan> eblume: run it in a virtual machine. [20:32] <Phipo> khaijel : but that's usb no detected, it just have bus and device no. if i "lsusb" no name for a driver [20:32] <ray_> bobertdos in my trash bin its a dlongrm folder how i put them back were belong i get premition err how i put it back to were be [20:32] <ikonia> _2: I'll pastebin, and tell me what's different [20:32] <MrMist> Hmm... anyone? My synaptics touchpad doesn't work anymore.. "Synaptics Touchpad can't grab event device" [20:32] <ray_> never did trah bin with sudo in turminal yet [20:32] <ray_> on 8.04 [20:32] <eblume> burhan, I'd really like to make it a clean environment with a second boot... I'm trying to run proprietary 3d applications in it. [20:32] <_2> ikonia i'll compair with this system same release [20:32] <lenswipe> Slart: I just to know how someone suggested adding myself to the samba group in users and groups [20:32] <ikonia> _2: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/37228/ [20:32] <lenswipe> Slart: But again, im not sure.... [20:32] <ikonia> _2: ignore the 64bit hardcoded path [20:32] <saikyo78> hi - - is there any way i can get help with running wireless on ubuntu? i am following a guide online, using terminal and am getting hung up at the last step [20:32] <lenswipe> Slart: U got any ideas? [20:32] <_2> ikonia compairing my own system here nothing differs. [20:33] <ray_> bobertdos, what i do? [20:33] <changke> would someone help me with my startup programs please? [20:33] <infexion> MrMist: I am not sure why your touch pad does not work... Do you have another mouse connected? [20:33] <killaz> Is there a catalogue collections which can import all avi files in a certain directory so that I can keep a collections of movies. SOmething like GCStart but with an important feature: automatic import movies based on extension for example .avi [20:33] <changke> skype starts automatically on startup but doesn't appear in the startup list when I go system->preferences->sessions? how to stop it starting? [20:33] <ikonia> _2: how can that be, all mine have paths to /lib [20:33] <Guest27531> Hi. Can any one help me. I connected to my wireless network using nm-applet. router registers connection. but i have no internet and cant ping router. need help [20:33] <ikonia> _2: you said only 1 had a path [20:33] <_2> ikonia and su works here. and seeing that nothing differs i can pastebin the out. [20:33] <Slart> lenswipe: read the samba docs.. I'm guessing you have a permissions problem.. try !samba for bot-goodness [20:33] <lenswipe> !samba [20:33] <ubottu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [20:33] <bobertdos> ray_ So, you don't want to delete it, but rather restore it? [20:33] <MrMist> infexion: Yeah, but I've had the mouse attached for quite some time, and the touchpad has always been working [20:33] <_2> ikonia http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d3ae5e459 [20:33] <killaz> automatic import entries based on the .avi files found.. [20:33] <ray_> bobertdos, yes there drm folder [20:34] <infexion> MrMist: or have you updated your ubuntu kernel? [20:34] <_2> ikonia that the same on both the working system and the non-working [20:34] <ray_> getting permition err [20:34] <eblume> Does anyone know of a way to install a second installation of Ubuntu on a machine without having to go to the trouble of burning a CD, etc? [20:34] <ray_> whebnn try to move it out [20:34] <MrMist> infexion: I have, yes. Should that have anything to say? [20:34] <Guest27531> Hi. Can any one help me. I connected to my wireless network using nm-applet. router registers connection. but i have no internet and cant ping router. need help [20:34] <ikonia> _2: I need you to walk through (follow paths and smylinks) on all those libs [20:34] <GleepGlop> ratpoison: better external IP bash script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37229/ [20:34] <ikonia> _2: I'll put money that one of those is not there/accessable [20:34] <infexion> Mr.Mist: I know if you update the kernel that it usually wipes a lot of drivers [20:34] <MrMist> infexion: I get a warning in the Xorg log, saying: (WW) Synaptics Touchpad can't grab event device, errno=16 [20:34] <burhan> eblume: you can remote boot it, netinstall, etc -- but its too much of a hassle. Easier to burn a CD, partition your disk, and do it that way. Of course, the easiest it to run a vm. [20:35] <_2> ikonia ok i'm on it. i'll get back to you. [20:35] <ikonia> _2: no problem [20:35] <Slart> eblume: I'm just guessing here but perhaps you can just copy a working ubuntu install to another drive and try changing the grub-settings.. you might need to change the /etc/fstab too.. and possibly somewhere else too [20:35] <ray_> bobertdos, what i do? [20:35] <infexion> Mr. Mist See that might be because of the update and possibly an incompatibility [20:35] <Slart> eblume: but I'd go with burning a live cd any day if I had a choice [20:35] <eblume> Slart, that would be perfect except that my current install is 64bit, and I want a clean 32 bit environment. [20:35] <ratpoison> GleepGlop: excellent! say, do you know of any online resource that turns bash noobs into wizards? [20:35] <MrMist> infexion: Hmm... in /dev/input there's no "event16" interface... maybe there's some wrong mapping somewhere [20:36] <ikonia> ratpoison: tldp.org [20:36] <Slart> eblume: hmm.. check out the !pendrive install info.. it might work for regular hard drives too [20:36] <GleepGlop> ratpoison: im a noob, so i dont know. well, im more of a hack [20:36] <Guest27531> Hi. Can any one help me. I connected to my wireless network using nm-applet. router registers connection. but i have no internet and cant ping router. need help [20:36] <infexion> MrMist: it is a possibility [20:36] <ray_> bobertdos, still here [20:36] <ratpoison> well if a noob can conjure up a simple bash script in seconds, then what do you call one who can't? :p [20:36] <MrMist> infexion: Any way to "rebind" the event device currently associated with the synaptic driver then ? [20:37] <alraune> !wireless > Guest27531: [20:37] <eblume> Oh also, what's the best way to resize an ext3 partition/ [20:37] <infexion> MrMist: did you check the ubuntu forums for an answer? [20:37] <burhan> Guest27531: can you ping any other host on your net? [20:37] <GleepGlop> ratpoison: this will get you started http://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles2/043.html [20:37] <alraune> eblume: gparted [20:37] <infexion> MrMist: I am not sure how to go about that to be honest [20:37] <GleepGlop> peace [20:37] <MrMist> infexion: yeah... can't find any [20:37] <bobertdos> ray_: In the trash directory, you could try: sudo cp -r <directory> <destination> [20:37] <eblume> alraune, thanks!

Any ideas? [20:38] <bobertdos> ray_: I don't really know where they go. I guess it depends on the player you're using. [20:38] <ikonia> Qwerty: is it there ?

[20:39] <Slart> !sensors | zboy417 [20:39] <ubottu> zboy417: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [20:39] <Brucee> or send me one [20:39] <bony> i tried to start gedit at a given time using at command but what i found was that at uses sh to execute all the commands and when i tried $sh gedit i get an error saying cannot execute file. what should i do in order to start gedit with sh? [20:40] <_2> ikonia i was sure hoping you were right too. i have been troubled with this for three days now. [20:40] <ray_> bobertdos, any idea [20:40] <Slart> zboy417: you might have to setup the sensor software first.. or it might be some other problem. [20:40] <Siph0n> hey, I updated to the 2.6.26.2 kernel, using the master kernel thread on ubuntuforums, and now my audio has scratching noises in the background. Any ideas? [20:40] <Qwerty> ikonia: Don't remember but since I am a "Noobie" a fair guess would be through synaptic [20:40] <ikonia> _2: let me think [20:40] <Guest27531> burhan i got an ip. and i see that there is a device connected to the router [20:40] <MacGyverNL> burhan, alraune, I've checked Guest27531's config.

Now he's physically disabled the interface (ifconfig eth1 down) and now wireless works [20:50] <vnix> When i click on Login Screen, GDM is not running [20:50] <bobertdos> ray_: DRM stands for Digital Rights Management.

[21:00] <burhan> mahfiaz: you need to be in #ubuntu+1 [21:00] <ray_> should i put it in the file system [21:00] <ray_> ? [21:00] <Phipo> burhan : yup that's like cell phone. but it is CDMA usb modem. it is do not serial number. just type for ZTE MG680 [21:01] <_2> chao1 no. because testdisk is supposed to rewrite the partition table thus they should all become "mountable" [21:01] <dusty_> Can anyone see a way to improve on these rules or does anyone have any advice/comments about them ? http://rafb.net/p/FucSMY32.html I am looking to see if i am doing this correctly and if the rules are in the right places ?

[21:58] <jamie25> Hello, I was wondering if i could get some help with a problem i am having with ubuntu? I am a newbie! === Administrator__ is now known as iMatter [21:58] <eitri> no, not the way I need it.. And I know the UUID, but cifs doesn't allow to mount "root" of USB drive.. How do I set up the UUID to a folder in the USB drive [21:59] <iMatter> im the guy who was complaining about usb [21:59] <mad_max02> I need help with my wireless adapter. How can I setup my wireless to work as AP so I can connect from my laptop ?? How do I share my internet connection to wireless ?? [21:59] <Neku> mahfiaz: dunno if it supported linux printing said something about paperweight its somethin to do wi the drivers or a ppd file [21:59] <mozzy> Paulo - maybe somthing wrong with the file - try a .jpg you can open - copy rename without the .jpg [21:59] <mahfiaz> eitri, if you figure out, tell me too [21:59] <Slart> juro: hmm.. so you've got 4GB of memory... running a 64bit system.. and you still only get 3GB for use... most weird [21:59] <iMatter> but my computer did something odd and i had to reboot [21:59] <mahfiaz> Neku, can it do postscript? [21:59] <Slart> eitri: you don't... uuid's are for partitions, afaik [21:59] <juro> Slart, I ask myself more often why nothing can go smooth ... [21:59] <mahfiaz> ph8, boot into recovery mode to find out [22:00] <hacked_kernel> mahfiaz, should i install openvz on ubuntu server not the desktop? [22:00] <Neku> mahfiaz: em nt sure kinda a begginer on ubuntu printing stuff n tht [22:00] <iMatter> ill say it again.... [22:00] <mozzy> Paulo - then see if it will open - it should do [22:00] <eitri> ok, so its impossible o use cifs and UUID? [22:00] <Slart> juro: are there any error messages in dmesg? [22:00] <kikinpc> i to all, I need one server of correo for ubuntu [22:00] <juro> Slart, checking [22:01] <Slart> eitri: well.. I think so.. but I might be wrong.. [22:01] <Slart> eitri: cifs is for mounting remote shares using samba [22:01] <Slart> eitri: and a usb stick isn't really a remote samba share [22:01] <mahfiaz> hacked_kernel, desktop is server with additional gui stuff, it does not matter [22:01] <eitri> ah, so it shouldn't be used for USB then [22:02] <eitri> What should I use then? ntfs-3g? [22:02] <juro> Slart, not that I can see [22:02] <mahfiaz> Neku, have you tried Computer - Administration - Printing [22:02] <Slart> eitri: nope.. not uneless I've missed something.. why did you start thinking about cifs? [22:02] <iMatter> well im having problems with usb in ubuntu it will not mount any usb devices partitions i plug in provides dmeg shows a new high-speed usb device has been plugged in but it wont mount the files this all happend after i put a linux live distro on it and booted it and stayed on for 2-3 hours and now it doesnt reconize anything besides a usb bluetooth device and a verison usb internet device but if i plug in ANY device in windows it picks it u [22:02] <iMatter> p immidetly leeds me to think there is something wrong with ubuntu or that he drivers for usb are faulty [22:02] <eitri> Because I had to use it for the NAS [22:02] <php6t1> help, im using Virtualbox and my bridge conection stops working after certain time, just rebooting the whole computer fix it, what happens?

[22:03] <Slart> eitri: yes.. a NAS shares folders using the smb-protocol.. what kind of file system is on that usb stick? ntfs? fat32? [22:03] <iMatter> also it says something about it not accepting an address [22:03] <Slart> juro: that's not it.. I get that too [22:03] <eitri> ntfs [22:03] <cellofellow> newk: I use WinFF (winff.com) for conversions. [22:03] <jamie25> So do I just ask a question in here? [22:03] <Slart> iMatter: google for the error message.. I've read so many posts about that.. it seems most people blame it on the usb-chip manufacturers [22:04] <thingfish2> jamie25: pretty much, yes. [22:04] <cellofellow> newk: WinFF has builtin PSP profiles. [22:04] <Slart> eitri: then use ntfs-3g [22:04] <Slart> !ntfs3g | eitri [22:04] <ubottu> eitri: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[22:27] <greywhind_> infinitycircuit: i'm looking at this page: http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi [22:27] <Slart> antirobotrobot: or rather.. you can.. but you'll probably end up upgrading to Intrepid just because of dependencies [22:27] <infinitycircuit> greywhind_, yes [22:27] <_oOMOo_> antirobotrobot which package?

[23:26] <unop> Aranel, this command herre should find the 10 biggest files. du -a $DIR | sort -n | tail -n 10 # maybe it gives you an indication of what is taking up space [23:26] <_oOMOo_> belkinhelp2 you owe p4 I think :) [23:26] <p4_xxx> :) [23:26] <belkinhelp2> oh [23:27] <belkinhelp2> ok....thanks to both of you then [23:27] <pyrex> is Ext3 a proper partition type for ubuntu install? [23:27] <dmsuperman> What's different between VNC and x11forwarding ? [23:27] <Blaze_Boy> no it's not that , :( [23:27] <kitche> Blaze_Boy: at least that will tell you if a host is up or not so it seems like what you want since it will output the ip of the host as well [23:27] <RageMachine> pyrex, ext3 is what you want to use. be sure to have a linux-swap partiton too. [23:27] <Aranel> unop: heres the output : http://pastebin.com/d3ad574fd [23:28] <pyrex> RageMachine: just those 2? [23:28] <Blaze_Boy> no , all i want is to list all the IPs conected to the LAN [23:28] <ardantus> anyone can help me for apache with php in ubuntu 8? === planetx is now known as planet_x [23:28] <_oOMOo_> belkinhelp2 glad it's fixed(ish!) [23:28] <kitche> Blaze_Boy: well -sP is what you want then but nmap really is not what you want then really [23:28] <RageMachine> pyrex, yep assuming your just doing ubuntu, no dual boot or anything swap should be about twice your RAM amount. [23:28] <planet_x> can anyone suggest a good IDE for C++ and visual basic editing that is similar to visual studio and such? [23:28] <_oOMOo_> ardantus what do you want to know? [23:28] <pyrex> RageMachine: this is dual booting with Vista [23:29] <dmsuperman> !x11forward [23:29] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about x11forward [23:29] <ardantus> _oOMOo_, open http://vps.ardantus.net/ in browser sir [23:29] <Blaze_Boy> kitche: ok , then tell me the complete syntax for the command [23:29] <kindofabuzz> need a vnc guru. i can connect to it fine, but it's like the graphics never load. all gyed pixels [23:29] <ardantus> i have install php use apt-get but still not work [23:29] <RageMachine> pyrex, okay, so you'll have vista on one ntfs partiton, ubuntu on one ext3 partition, a linux swap [23:29] <kitche> RageMachine: for visual basic it would be hard but monodevelop [23:29] <lordleemo> Blaze_Boy: for nmap nmap -sP -PI -PT 192.168.0.1/24 read the man nmap [23:29] <RageMachine> kitche, wrong person :P [23:29] <unop> Aranel, try this to filter out directories. du -Sa $DIR | sort -n | tail -n 10 [23:30] <infinitycircuit> planet_x, you could try kdevelop or eclipse [23:30] <kitche> planet_x: for visual basic it would be hard but monodevelop [23:30] <dido> Is gnome better or KDE ? [23:30] <infinitycircuit> personally i use vim for all my C coding [23:30] <_oOMOo_> ardantus that's a network issue [23:30] <RageMachine> Nother question, once the computer freezes or what have you, is there a way to see Why it froze, like a log or similar? [23:30] <Western_Digital> Oh hai [23:30] <Aranel> unop: http://pastebin.com/d7f6444bd [23:30] <Western_Digital> gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.1.txt [23:30] <planet_x> ok thanks, im using gnome if that matters can i use kdevelop or stick to eclipse?> [23:31] <Western_Digital> oops [23:31] <pyrex> RageMachine: that was for the / right? [23:31] <ardantus> _oOMOo_, so what can i do to fic this problems sir [23:31] <Aranel> unop: i cant find the reason of this 0 byte problem. How can I find this file ? [23:31] <RageMachine> pyrex, / is ext3. you can put /home on a seperate partition too if you like [23:31] <juro> I am looking for a powerful navigator like Directory Opus [23:31] <RageMachine> pyrex, home should be ext3 as well. [23:31] <pyrex> i just put / and walked away [23:31] <_oOMOo_> ardantus http://ardantus shows an error connecting to database [23:31] <pyrex> will create swap next [23:31] <RageMachine> pyrex that will work [23:31] <paolo> Hi *. I have a very weird problem. A file is not recognized as an image if it has an extension (such as .jpeg, or .jpg). Does anyone know why? [23:32] <_oOMOo_> ardantus http://vps.ardantus.net shows unable to connect [23:32] <Gnea> paolo: the file is not an image. [23:32] <pyrex> "The resize operation has been aborted." [23:32] <pyrex> wtheck? [23:32] <unop> Aranel, i dunno, if you can still find the file in dolphin/filelight .. it exists somewhere on the disk. you can find out where exactly it is. find / -iname "*name_of_file*" [23:33] <unop> paolo, maybe it is not an image file? use this to find out. file -i /path/to/file [23:33] <Western_Digital> Hey hey.

[23:33] <unop> Aranel, then use find [23:33] <paolo> unop: it is [23:34] <Aranel> unop: I dont know name of this file [23:34] <dabbill> How do i get my mouse to work as PS/2? I was useing it as USB but haveing issues with my USB ports. I rebooted the computer with the mouse in the PS/2 port but it has no power.

[23:46] <Egyn> Hi all, I'm about to build a HTPC and wonder if it will be problematic using 64-bit ubuntu with mythtv? [23:46] <ardantus> burhan, tq sir [23:47] <ardantus> burhan, This module is already enabled! -bash: sudo: command not found [23:47] <unop> ozzloy, nslookup does not work with samba (netBIOS) names .. only DNS .. either configure samba for netBIOS name resolution, or put entries for the names you want to resolve in /etc/hosts [23:47] <Pagide> Hello [23:47] <Pagide> ASm from canada [23:47] <Pagide> am [23:48] <Pagide> Hi [23:48] <pat5star> * loves canada [23:48] <unop> Pagide, hi, do you have a question to ask? [23:49] <dabbill> Gnea, well i hooked up my old school microshaft optic mouse and it works fine with the adapter, going to see if my USB's will stay working with this mouse I am guessing my razer mouse is just dieing or some thing. [23:49] <Pagide> I am just new at this [23:49] <ardantus> for all, brb.be back later i need off now thanks for help and respond my question. [23:50] <pat5star> forgot how to get the chat to write something like "pat5star says hi", anybody? [23:50] <sharperguy> Can anyone think why when I try to run eclipse it dies because of JVM terminating prematurely? [23:50] <ozzloy> unop: so put serv1 192.168.1.100 in /etc/hosts ? [23:50] * pat5star says hi [23:50] <pat5star> n/m [23:50] <sharperguy> pat5star, "/me" [23:50] <HAL_9001> Does anyone know why my swap is a little bit smaller than my ram when I tell it at install to be 2gigs??? [23:51] <pat5star> sharperguy: thanks :) [23:51] <ozzloy> unop: 192.168.1.100 serv1 rather? [23:51] <unop> ozzloy, yes [23:51] <ozzloy> or maybe avaak, not serv1? [23:51] <ozzloy> idk which is which on the windows network [23:51] <kitche> sharperguy: did you install the correct version of eclipse? [23:51] <pat5star> sharperguy: do you have eclipse set up to use the correct jvm? [23:51] <ozzloy> idk wtf a "workgroup" is [23:51] <marco_> hi all [23:51] <marco_> =) [23:51] <ozzloy> unop: thanks === marco_ is now known as Marcx [23:52] <unop> ozzloy, 192.168.1.100 serv1 serv1.avaak [23:52] <sharperguy> pat5star, I might not actually [23:52] <Egyn> HAL_9001: how much is "a little bit"? [23:52] <Dazed> its still just going to a white screen when i try to increase the visual effects [23:52] <Dazed> i dont understand its been working perfectly [23:52] <sharperguy> pat5star, It was all set up in arch, but since I've switched back to ubuntu its probably changed but remembered the setting [23:52] <ozzloy> unop: interesting [23:53] <pat5star> sharperguy: I forget how you get to it, under preferences, or options, then java, you can choose which jvm to use. Plus eclipse can ship with it's own jvm, so if you have classpath's set up for another one, it can all get really messed [23:53] <HAL_9001> its 1.9 gigs [23:53] <computa_mik1> any idea how to log a bug? [23:53] <kitche> HAL_9001: well that really is 2 gigs [23:53] <HAL_9001> I just heard its needs to be the same for hibernate [23:53] <ozzloy> unop: can you help me get samba working? [23:54] <unop> ozzloy, i could try [23:54] <ozzloy> unop: please do! === a830 is now known as kaminix [23:54] <sharperguy> argh it crashed before I can even find the option [23:54] <paolo> unop: sorry... eog works fine [23:54] <Egyn> HAL_9001: i would use a larger swap than the amount of ram, then you would not have to worry [23:54] <kitche> HAL_9001: most likely some of the space is being reserved for root [23:54] <sharperguy> I think it does it when it gets to a certain point while parseing the open program [23:54] <pat5star> HAL_9001: I think setting anymore than 1g swap is a waste anyhow with that much ram [23:54] <unop> ozzloy, this might be a complement to the name resolution issue .. http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch07_03.html [23:55] <kitche> pat5star: not really he said he's using hibernate [23:55] <siefny> hi all [23:55] <Egyn> HAL_9001: it all depends on how you use your hardware though [23:55] <Egyn> HAL_9001: if you want a big swap or not [23:55] <pat5star> sharperguy: you can start up eclipse with options to use a certain jvm as well, check the docs, I can't remember how to off the top of me head but I'm sure that will solve your problem [23:55] <ozzloy> unop: i wonder if i could order this book on the companies dime [23:55] <HAL_9001> is there anyway to take away the root space on swap? [23:56] <siefny> sombody good know mbr ?? i have big problem [23:56] <unop> paolo, hmm, not sure then -- i don't use gnome to be able help you with this [23:56] <ozzloy> unop: the weird thing is, if i go Places -> Network -> Windows Network, AVAAK shows up [23:56] <pat5star> siefny: grub to the rescue :) [23:56] <ozzloy> unop: and if i click on it, SERV1 shows up [23:56] <Egyn> HAL_9001: donno, that is over my head [23:56] <siefny> pat5star i know...i try reinstall grub... [23:56] <jmichelsen_> Is there a way to make a shortcut to a folder in Thunar? The foldar has a space in it and I made a shortcut with the r click menu but it broke cos of the space [23:56] <ozzloy> unop: but clicking on that gives a pause followed by an empty folder [23:57] <ozzloy> unop: i would expect it to prompt me for username pw [23:57] <Evolution2> hey guys, i just installed audacious 1.5 but the VU-meter plugin wont install because it need version 1.1.4??? this doesnt make sense to me. any help? [23:57] <Cutter> hello [23:58] <siefny> pat5star: i try reinstal grub, i try fixmbr, try fdisk /mbr.... nothing :/ [23:58] <sharperguy> pat5star, Well what should I set it to?

[23:59] <beardbar> or rather ubuntu [23:59] <Evolution2> beardbar: yes [23:59] <pat5star> sharperguy: eclipse -vm /path/to/good/jvm [23:59] <bobertdos> Cutter: If you literally mean at the same time, that would entail setting up a complete server.
