Please check the following: your network connection - your firewall settings (are you blocking /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin?) [00:01] That's a good idea. I plan to put Unbuntu Server on my old desktop next. [00:01] the kids love playing linux games! [00:01] jamie25, are you? [00:01] How old are they? [00:01] Seriously, I need help [00:01] how do I check? [00:01] >_> [00:01] 7 and 4 [00:01] Edubuntu might help you then [00:02] (i'm 13 lol) [00:02] Is today the 15th year of linux? [00:02] !ask Kinetix: [00:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask kinetix: [00:02] Jamie25, are you in su? [00:02] I suppose this is off topic [00:02] !ask | Kinetix: [00:02] Kinetix:: 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. :-) [00:02] Chris|: its not even if ppl think it is [00:03] I'll look into edubuntu and see what different packages are included [00:03] Pirate_Hunter, care to elaborate? [00:03] Chris|: 1991 was the first linux release, so at least 17 years, and not sure about the day, so... definitely not the 15th anniversary [00:03] I'm trying to get my modem working on Ubuntu (it's a Winmodem) and I found something that lets me do it (Martian). I just don't know how to install/activate said program. [00:03] Daisuke_Laptop, ah ok, just saw something on the ubuntu site [00:04] !ot | Chris| [00:04] Chris|: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:04] Dlemcoe: Im not too sure..i typed in the terminal "su" & asked for my password [00:04] Pirate_Hunter, i know :P [00:04] I've learned lots about adding to the sources.list file so it might be just as easy to do some of that [00:04] i entered my password [00:04] UBUNTU RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:04] Anyone, help? >.> [00:04] anyone know how i can print out a list of songs in my Playlist in Rythmbox? [00:04] kevin_123: have you actually got a question? [00:05] Hey, is there a way to eleminate using the nautilus command to get permissions? [00:05] Kinetix: what you need help with, explain what happened and how it happened in detail [00:05] Pirate_Hunter: He was talking at me. (I think) [00:05] I'm trying to get my modem working on Ubuntu (it's a Winmodem) and I found something that lets me do it (Martian). I just don't know how to install/activate said program. [00:05] sorry Pirate_Hunter - just was talking to dlemcoe a bit [00:05] !info martian [00:05] Package martian does not exist in hardy [00:05] How do I get virtualbox to remember the guest (XP) resolution? I have auto-resize on but when the VM window starts fullscreen, the guest doesn't resize to fill it on boot [00:05] Kinetix, if you have already asked a question and no one has answered, chances are no one knows the answer [00:05] jamie25, su has no effect on ubuntu - the root account is not enabled for logon [00:06] !winmodem [00:06] !sudo | jamie25 [00:06] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto [00:06] jamie25: 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) [00:06] Hey, is there a way to eleminate using the nautilus command to get permissions? [00:06] Kinetix: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto if you haven't already. [00:06] eliminate* [00:06] dlemcoe: what do you mean nautilus command? There is no such thing. [00:07] nautilus [00:07] Kinetix: It will probably just be easier and quicker to get some proper hardware. I say this because I once spent months trying to get a BT Voyager winmodem to word, to no avail [00:07] dlemcoe: you want a nautilus with higher permissions?\ [00:07] work* [00:07] dlemcoe: sudo nautilus might do it (gksudo if you're using alt+f2) [00:07] No no, I just want to not have to type it each time [00:07] yeah sudo nautilus works [00:07] Or for the session? cool thanks [00:08] it puts it into root so you can change any files [00:08] dlemcoe: you can change something (can't remember what) and allow yourself to login as root from the login prompt [00:08] Gillpy: The thing is, I have a problem that WILL make it work, except I just don't know how to use it on Ubuntu. But...proper hardware? ?_? [00:08] That'd get the same thing for the entire session [00:08] Kinetix: dont know if this is still valid or will work for you http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg19t13.htm [00:08] whaaaaaaaaaaaa [00:08] Like [00:09] I already used the scanModem tool, and downloaded the driver needed [00:09] I just don't know how to install said driver. [00:09] dlemcoe, please exercise caution when use nautilus under gksudo [00:09] chamod 775 [00:09] How would I get the directory name out of the following string, in bash: /usr/share/idl/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/stable/nsISupports.idl [00:09] I understand the rusk [00:09] risk* [00:09] rusk [00:09] Derander, nautilus should always be opened under gksudo, never sudo [00:10] what is gksudo? [00:10] nrcx17: stop being an idiot [00:10] infexion, Derander, dlemcoe: for gui with root permission dont use sudo but gksudo also dont work as root, its appropriate to open the file as root change what you want but not give yourself root privileged on the pc [00:10] unop: whoops, you're right [00:10] Kinetix: modprobe nameofdriver [00:10] Gillpy thx [00:10] hmm [00:11] Is there a way to fix the system monitors jacked view of my network card? It thinks traffic is going for one second and stoping on the next. http://img247.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotjq1.png [00:11] kevin_123: gksudo is used to call gui applications as root or with root access [00:11] loquitus_of_borg: dirname I think [00:11] loquitus_of_borg, var="/usr/share/idl/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/stable/nsISupports.idl"; echo "${var%/*}" [00:11] kevin_123: nearly the same thing, but gksudo uses the current user's preferences and permissions where applicable to avoid permissions problems [00:11] I'm wondering if its because it s gigabit card running at 100mb [00:11] ok thanks. I didn't know there was that option [00:11] Other monitors show that my network traffic is not doing this odd beharvir... [00:12] The driver is Martian [00:12] loquitus_of_borg: dirname /usr/share/idl/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/stable/nsISupports.idl === Kopfgeldjaeger is now known as Kopfi|offline === root is now known as Guest48832 [00:13] histo: sorry dont see anythign wrong with you graphics but yeah a lot of net traffic [00:13] histo: that's not what that graph displays. [00:13] So I should run gksudo for google earth? [00:13] Pirate_Hunter: not my graphics see how the net traffic goes up and down [00:13] burhan: Pirate_Hunter it shows traffic for one tic and then 0/kbs for the next tick [00:14] Pirate_Hunter: burhan I've checked with nettop and this is definately not the case its just displaying it that way. [00:14] You can see this by the wave in the graph and the spikes up by the clock. [00:14] jamie25: enable your medibuntu repositories in synaptic an install google earth from there [00:14] jamie25, not if you don't have to. actually, you should never have to [00:15] *and [00:15] atlef: you can install the individual packages may be a better idea [00:15] histo: you see the two arrows? One is in blue and the other in purple? The graph is not showing 'in and out' like that. [00:15] histo: wouldnt be bale to help you there dont even know where to start especially since the image shows you arent receiving any traffic [00:15] histo: well it seems he has problems with that, so... [00:15] Oh my god. I am sick of GPG [00:16] Kubuntu kde3 [00:16] 4 [00:16] histo: its a trend graph that is updated every seconds; the blue line only shows your downlink activity; if you increase the timeout, the graph will sort it self out. [00:16] I put my fingerprint into launchpad, I get the e-mail in Evo and it will not parse it [00:16] dlemcoe, use PGP instead. [00:16] anyone know how i can print out a list of the songs in my playlist on rythmbox? [00:16] Are you serious? I'm not paying for it! lol [00:16] dlemcoe, well then ...

[00:20] pirate_hunter: wasn't really sure where to look, so no, ive not searched online.. [00:20] burhan: No I don't htink you understand it says receiving 300K/s then goes to 0k/s every tick. I was downloading an iso at the time just to show. [00:20] [01:19:44] What legal reasons would there be? [00:20] Blade_Wizard_Fal: try google with search criteria ubuntu playlist print or something close to that [00:21] Oh, medibuntu I was referring to [00:21] Can someone help me with GPG? [00:21] dlemcoe: state your question... [00:21] hello. how can I remove a service, such as apache from starting up [00:21] dlemcoe: did you go to the link provided by ubuto? [00:21] is ALSA on by default when I disable Pulseaudio? [00:21] today I bought a new mouse, but I am encoutering a problem with it. When x first starts the mouse works (for about 3 secconds) but afterwards I m unable to use the mouse. The buttons work, but Icannot move the cursor. Any ideas what I should look into?

I put my fingerprint into Launchpad, then I get the e-mail and Evo will not parse it even with my e-mail in it [00:22] cambazz: I think you might be able to do that with sysvconfig [00:22] Hi all, Can Ubuntu 8.04.1 be installed without user name and password??? If I install without entering name & passwrd will install continue??? thank you [00:22] gregge: if you disable pulseaudio i would suggest going into sound settings and changing it back to alsa [00:22] cambazz: install bum [00:22] burhan: This has to be a known bug [00:22] cambazz: oh, headless -- try man update-rc.d [00:22] histo: could be check lp [00:22] candive: i would say that is highly unlikely.. you can set it to skip the login screen if you like, but its gonna probably require some user to be set up [00:22] candive: no [00:22] Pirate_Hunter: Ok.. where do I find the sound settings? [00:23] i need help with bash , im trying to make a script , when no ping it reconnects to wlan0 [00:23] anyone know how to install ventrilos codec? [00:23] trigpin: #bash [00:23] ventrilos?

[00:23] * IndyGunFreak sighs [00:23] Pirate_Hunter: *hrm* thanks :) [00:24] gregge: but if youre asking me that it means you never had changed your sound settings so dont mess with them, would probably explain why you disabled pulseaudio thinking it wasnt working [00:24] I cant play musin in audacious and music in flash at the sametime, any solutions ? [00:24] music* [00:24] IndyGunFreak: hi, why do you sigh [00:24] is there any way to sync Evolution with another computer? Like Plaxo and Outlook?

[00:27] anobady can help me :|? [00:27] Hey [00:27] loquitus_of_borg, if you are writing a makefile, you should follow the POSIX sh shell syntax, not bash syntax (for portability) .. and $() is bash syntax [00:27] I have ubuntu 8.04 and I saw "UUID" in fstab, what is it ? [00:27] DuKiSa: what do you mean when you changed your computer? [00:27] Evolution is giving me this about GPG: [00:27] IndyGunFreak when i took 64 bit machine [00:27] http://pastebin.ca/1172145 [00:27] $() is also ksh [00:27] from 32 :| [00:28] i have that problem :| [00:28] CrocoJet: its a unique identifier for that hardiskpartition [00:28] i reinstal kubuntu [00:28] and nothing :| [00:28] DuKiSa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:28] i download last version and nothing :| [00:28] CrocoJet, a UUID is a unique identifier, each partition/filesystem has a unique one [00:28] DuKiSa: how exactly did you "downgrade" [00:28] IndyGunFreak translate :| ? [00:29] zChris, how can I generate one UUID for my new harddisk, I would like automatic mount [00:29] ! flood [00:29] 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) [00:29] don`t undested my englis very bad :| [00:29] DuKiSa: did you install 32bit Ubunty over 64bit, or what did you do? [00:29] CrocoJet: you don't mount a hard disc, you mount a partition [00:29] yes sorry partition [00:29] CrocoJet: you can use their names like /dev/sda3 instead, UUID is good if you move the harddrives around [00:29] CrocoJet, on should have already been generated .. as long as the partition has a filesystem. blkid /dev/sdXX [00:29] one* [00:29] oh ok [00:30] burhan: trying to blacklist the wrong module hopefully it will find the proper one. Rebooting wish me luck [00:30] like old version so [00:30] IndyGunFreak i install the last version of kubuntu kubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386 [00:30] and when i start kubuntu i have grub error 21 [00:30] :| [00:30] DuKiSa: so how ar eyo here now?.. on another computer or the live CD or what? [00:30] whats the big difference on kubuntu and ubuntu? [00:30] KDE vs. Gnome [00:30] IndyGunFreak on windows this is other hdd :) [00:30] Kvasten^: what burhan said [00:31] Whats best pse swfdec or gnash? (swf player) [00:31] i have two hdd one is for kubuntu one is for windows [00:31] whats the different on KDE and Gnome then? :£ [00:31] Kvasten^: its just preference really.... try both, decide what you like. [00:31] do I need put "relatime" ? "/dev/sdb1 /bkp1 ext3 relatime 0 2" [00:32] IndyGunFreak and :) what to do ? [00:32] preference? [00:32] yes [00:32] KDE is cluttered and compicated while gnome is simple but thats just my opinion [00:32] personal preference [00:32] and KDE is broken in ubuntu, but that's my personal opinion [00:32] yes, kubuntu is nothing short of hideous [00:32] DuKiSa: will you take a paxil, i'm trying to decipher this... if i have an answer, i'll tell you... did you disconnect one hard drive while installing ubuntu? [00:32] glad we agree on one thing ;-) [00:32] if you do want to use kde, just forget about ubuntu [00:32] IndyGunFreak yes of course [00:32] Some windows users like KDE. [00:32] yes you want mandriva.... actually what am I saying [00:32] but don't worry, you won't want to use kde, it's horrid too :P [00:32] again, that's personal opinion. there's no need to be bashing kubuntu [00:33] DuKiSa: well thats your problem [00:33] kde is working fine for me, infact gnome for some reason doesn't like my vid card [00:33] IndyGunFreak no [00:33] yeh sorry [00:33] :) [00:33] i discconet and now [00:33] can someone say what preference means in swedish? [00:33] when i try [00:33] all of that is just my opinion [00:33] DuKiSa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:33] to run [00:33] Shadowkllr: weird [00:33] ubutnu :| [00:33] What does "Secret key not availible" mean? [00:33] inorite? [00:33] Kvasten^: preference is like a choice... or a favourite [00:33] Kvasten^: that make sense? :) [00:33] DuKiSa: post your problem on the forums, see if they can help you.. http://www.ubuntuforums.org [00:33] dlemcoe: it means your secret key is not in your GPG keyring... if you've lost it completely, you're as we say in the geek world "hosed" [00:34] IndyGunFreak oke thanks :) [00:34] stemount^ is it the look? like different themes? [00:34] And is "hosing" reversabel? [00:34] * shoeunited thinks The gnome kde should be in #ubuntu-offtopic, but Gnome's original plan was to be a Mac similarity, while KDE was for windows fans. [00:34] And is "hosing" reversable? [00:34] Kvasten^: exactly [00:34] hi [00:34] shoeunited: i disagree, i think they were just intended to be two different GUIs [00:34] stemount^ like chaning theme in explorer in windows? [00:34] IndyGunFreak i found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717 [00:34] many people have that problem :) [00:35] Kvasten^: Like changing Windows' theme, yes [00:35] IndyGunFreak some say Google super grub and follow instructions =] :| [00:35] there are only so many ways to arrange a 2-dimensional GUI, there are bound to be similarities somewhere. [00:35] dlemcoe: if you've lost your secret key, and all means to revoke your key, then you have absolutely no chance to recover data encrypted with it [00:35] DuKiSa: then i woudl follow that advice [00:35] the NSA could probably do it given 18 months [00:35] There is no data with it right now [00:35] stemount^ slackware (Startx) is KDE right? [00:35] ok well just revoke it, and start afresh [00:35] I JUST did that [00:36] Kvasten^: slack's a good choice if you don't want even halfway decent package management. [00:36] And I just did: "--gen-key [00:36] Kvasten^: yes, Slackware is KDE [00:36] is there a nice easy gui way to turn off tap to click in hardy? :) [00:36] suse would probably be a better option [00:36] slackware is a good choice if you want to spend all your time on linux deliberately breaking things just for the sadistic pleasure of spending days fixing them [00:36] stemount^: not necessarily, it has any GUI you want to put w/ it. [00:36] IndyGunFreak oke thanks a lot :Df [00:36] but then that is just my opinion [00:36] i've used slackware w/ xfce [00:36] Daisuke_Laptop i have tryed slackware, but i think is very hard.. [00:36] IndyGunFreak: indeed, but isn't KDE the default? [00:37] stemount^ okay, then i have tried it :) i like Gnome mutch more :) [00:37] weatherhead, What's the deal with my secret key, how can I maek a new one [00:37] Kvasten^: what is yoru rpoblem w/ Ubuntu.? [00:37] dlemcoe: do you know anything about public key encryption? [00:37] Kvasten^: did you have something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Slackware.png [00:37] stemount^: i don't think so.. i actually thought Xfce was. could be wrong though, been ages since i used it(since the idea behind slack is to be light, i'd be very surprised if it defaults to KDE) [00:37] stemount^ yes [00:37] Not really [00:37] stemount^ exactly [00:37] Kvasten^: yeah, KDE then [00:38] I JUST made a new key, put da' fingerprint in launchpad, and I cannot make it work [00:38] dlemcoe: I suggest you look at it. [00:38] IndyGunFreak i cant find out what codec i need to run ventrilo in ubuntu.. [00:38] KDE is to Operating Systems, as Rosie O Donnell is to Playboy Playmates [00:38] it's worth knowing the very basics before you get into it [00:38] can you help me just so I can sign this dang Codofconduct? [00:38] Kvasten^: well what is ventrilo? [00:38] IndyGunFreak you use slackware too ? [00:38] DuKiSa: i have [00:38] IndyGunFreak: a voice application, like Skype and Teamspeak [00:38] hha [00:38] IndyGunFreak a talk program for gamers. [00:38] IndyGunFreak have slackware installation like kubuntu grapich ? [00:38] IndyGunFreak: rosie sits on top of the playmates and provides a graphical user interface? [00:38] ic.. never used it or heard of it. [00:38] Daisuke_Ido: lol.. [00:39] haha [00:39] dlemcoe: basically you need to generate a new key pair, delete the old one forget it ever existed... then export the secret key somewhere ... REALLY REALLY REALLY safe where noone can get at it [00:39] ever [00:39] :) [00:39] except you [00:39] what is a good media player? [00:39] Kvasten^: I thought Ventrilo wasn't around for Linux?

[00:39] dlemcoe: the beauty of the system is that you can give your public key to anyone and everyone, and they can encrypt stuff that you can only decrypt with your secret key [00:40] stemount^ you can make a server. the client is possible to run throw wine [00:40] a ridiculously newbie question, but here it is...I'm using Ubuntu with gnome. Can I still use KDE programs? [00:40] stemount^ but how is the question.. [00:40] kevin_123: yes [00:40] kevin_123: absolutely [00:40] I know that part of it, but how do I make a, pair. --gen-key? [00:40] but, word of warning, also make sure you have revoke certificates in a safe place, and set an expiry date on every key you make, especially if you export it to a keyserver [00:40] kevin_123: of course, you'll just have to install a lot of kde liraries [00:40] *libraries [00:40] Kvasten^: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=41737 [00:40] i use amarok exclusively as my audio player :D [00:40] I see iTunes ;-) [00:40] stemount^ thx. ill type when im finished [00:40] Kvasten^: :) [00:41] stemount^ <3<3 [00:41] What was that?????????? a test?????????? [00:41] :):) [00:41] question: what group must a user be a member of in order to ssh into a machine? [00:41] weatherhead: can you answer the questipn plz [00:41] zanberdo: none. ssh is not enabled by default by the way [00:41] !ssh > zanberdo [00:41] zanberdo, please see my private message [00:41] dlemcoe: to my shame I have never used gnuPG from the command line, only via GUI from KGPG [00:41] so I do not know [00:41] does having a lot of libraries installed slow things down? Is it like services in windows? [00:42] orly [00:42] stemount^ how to see my wine version? [00:42] How do I go about getting KGPG? [00:42] kevin_123: naa.. what are you wanting to install that is a KDE app? [00:42] dlemcoe: are you on GNOME? [00:42] kevin_123: I use Krusader & Konsole in Ubuntu Hardy and they work well (even though designed for KDE) [00:42] kevin_123: nowhere near as terrible as windows [00:42] yez [00:42] hay [00:42] Kvasten^: how did you install it? [00:42] stemount^ wine doors.. [00:42] weatherhead: yes [00:42] dlemcoe: then I suggest using whatever gnome's equivalent is, instead of installing all the kde libraries etc. With this I can't help you, i have never really used GNOME [00:42] kevin_123: what exactly are you installing ? [00:42] stemount^ and playwithlinux [00:43] I was just looking at Edubuntu and saw it's gnome based but comes with a KDE Edutainment suite so I was curious [00:43] oh. Okay thanks [00:43] Edutainment, wow [00:43] weatherhead: installing the kde libraries, takes about 2min, its not really an issue.. just like it wouldn't be an issue to install gnome libraries on KDE to run a Gnome app [00:43] dlemcoe: you could look for a tutorial on gnuPG though [00:43] stemount^ i allready made that guide. but it steel ask for the codecs.. [00:43] as you can see - this is my FIRST linux install so I'm learning lots :) [00:43] Kvasten^: I have no idea :( [00:43] IndyGunFreak: I know, but still if it's the only Qt app you're gonna run [00:43] Look, I just want to sign this codeofconduct and CANNOT BELIVE it is so hard [00:43] has anyone else had an issue with Adobe's Reader app where it consistently and continuously leaks memory and does not exit, and uses a very large portion of the CPU (considering that it shouldn't even be running anymore) ? [00:43] stemount^ :(:( [00:43] dlemcoe: applications/accessories/passwords and encryption keys :) [00:43] IndyGunFreak: GPG is the kind of thing you want tightly integrated into your DE [00:44] weatherhead: true, but if he likes that particular QT app, its nto a dealbreaker to install KDE libs. [00:44] Hey guys, Do you guys know if there is a Kubuntu 4.1 ISO ? [00:44] ScarEye_ Retro anyone? :) [00:44] using kde 4.1 ? [00:44] weatherhead: i didn't see him mentioning anything about GPG.. [00:44] IndyGunFreak: I know, but he doesn't "like that particular Qt app" he's never tried it [00:44] what is a good media player? [00:44] ScarEye yes [00:44] it's called kubuntu KDE4 Remix [00:44] well I assumed that's what we were on about with things like --gen-key floating around [00:44] milan: mplayer [00:44] !video [00:44] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [00:44] weatherhead: again, it's about choice. i only use one kde app, but that app's just *that* good. [00:44] !media | milan [00:44] milan: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [00:45] Daisuke_Laptop: I know... incidentally what app is it [00:45] vicioulime: KDE4 Remix is running 4.0 [00:45] weatherhead: ?.. thats dlemco rattling about that, not kevin_123 (to my knowledge) [00:45] weatherhead: amarok. [00:45] ello [00:45] oh right yes sorry [00:45] kevin_123: what exactly are you wanting to install that is a KDE app? [00:45] you have to add a nother repo to upgrade to 4.1 [00:45] Daisuke_Laptop: I use a few GTK apps, [00:45] Kvasten^: go to #ubuntu-se - It's a swedish support channel :) [00:45] Hum, where do I configure ubuntu to start amarok instead of rythmbox when I insert my ipod nano? [00:45] I'm having problems generating keys on hoary -- they all get flagged as compromised: (http://rafb.net/p/ekGxF484.html). I've updated ssh-keygen... anyone have any ideas? [00:45] stemount^ thx :) [00:45] weatherhead: and oh sweet jesus don't recommend exaile, rhythmbox, or banshee - all are severely lacking in my opinion :D [00:45] IndyGunFreak: sorry IRC burnout. I'm a suse man we have like 4 lines every 2 hours to deal with :-P [00:45] :) [00:45] Rockj: system/pref/preferred apps [00:45] ScarEye: pretty sure there's no iso though [00:46] bork: yeah, use a supported release. [00:46] weatherhead: lol. [00:46] Daisuke_Laptop: I only use KDE, so I wasn't likely to recommend anything other than amarok [00:46] weatherhead: ahh [00:46] alguém do Brasil?? [00:46] ack, I meant hardy [00:46] !br [00:46] This is just crazy. It is taking me an hour JUST TO sign this Codeofconduct. Why is it SO HARD [00:46] Daisuke_Laptop: but not on ubuntu [00:46] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:46] I don't have an ubuntu install at the moment [00:46] IndyGunFreak, Ive tried setting custom in multimedia tab and execute command amarok without any success === B3z3rk3r is now known as B3z3rk3r|Coffee [00:46] Daisuke_Laptop: there's nothing wrong with rhythmbox! :) [00:46] Daisuke_Laptop: meant hardy, sorry [00:46] Are you guys mostly using gnome or kubuntu [00:46] Rockj: are you sure you're putting the right command in there? [00:46] GNOME [00:46] GNOME [00:46] hello. i got postgres running at a remote host, and I like to allow access only tru a certain ip. how can I do this with iptables? [00:47] viciouslime: that's like saying there's nothing wrong with unnecessary amputation [00:47] Hi, can someone help me synicing my iphone with amarok? Thanks!! [00:47] Daisuke_Laptop: :P what do you use then? [00:47] IndyGunFreak, pretty sure I type amarok , yes. [00:47] viciouslime: if you're a masochist, then that's true [00:47] viciouslime: amarok [00:47] hey can someone tell me a good channel to go to to ask question about webpage development [00:47] which program to use for ripping from cd to mp3? [00:47] Rockj: what exact file are ar eyou trying to assign to amarok? [00:47] BTW, whoever was on about iphone, if it's not jailbroken you're hosed [00:48] Can someone Query me and help with GPG. I am quite frustrated [00:48] IndyGunFreak, I plugin my usb-thingie to my ipod and rythmbox is starting instead of amarok :/ [00:48] Daisuke_Laptop: I used to love amarok, but after a few months using rhythmbox.... i prefer rhythmbox [00:48] dlemcoe: sorry I didn't realise you were just signing it. It's probably not even gpg you need [00:48] Hi guys, has anybody ever wiped a hard disk so no data can be recovered? I want to know how much time it takes. [00:48] dhall43231: #web maybe ? [00:48] dlemcoe: I just saw private key and assumed you were encrypting stuff. What are you actually trying to do [00:48] Rockj: ah.. ok.. i'm not sure if you can get an Ipod to autostart Amarok or not.. never tried myself. [00:48] dhall43231: just a guess though [00:48] viciouslime: i actually went the other way, i started with rhythmbox, and then went to amarok [00:48] BIG Hammer and drills [00:49] IndyGunFreak, I just got myself an iPod - I guess ill figure it out somehow tho [00:49] * weatherhead prefers whatever is best integrated to the DE he is using, which is KDE, and therefore, amarok [00:49] hey guys [00:49] Rockj: what kind of ipod? [00:49] Daisuke_Laptop: fair enough, the beauty of choice lol :) === B3z3rk3r|Coffee is now known as B3z3rk3r [00:49] IndyGunFreak, iPod nano v3 [00:49] excuse me, a KDE/GNOME debate has just started on #suse :p [00:49] ... and it's ended [00:49] Rockj: cool.. good luck getting it workin.. :) [00:49] weatherhead: signing the Ubuntu Code o' conduct [00:49] does anyone know of a xen guide for ubuntu 8.04 ? [00:50] dlemcoe: what is that? [00:50] I'm having problems generating ssh keys on hardy -- they all get flagged as compromised: (http://rafb.net/p/ekGxF484.html). I've updated ssh-keygen... does anyone have any ideas? [00:50] weatherhead: https://edge.launchpad.net/people/ [00:50] Rockj: in nautilus > edit > preferences > Media, change Music Player from Rhythmbox to Amarok [00:50] sorry [00:50] http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember/ [00:50] Daisuke_Laptop: he tried that. [00:51] his ipod is still opening rhythmbox [00:51] hello all, is ubuntu still having difficulties with flash plugins in firefox? [00:51] anyone know of a site with good instructions to jailbreak an iPhone of iPod touch? [00:51] oh. === maha is now known as MarissaMeyer [00:51] err 64 bit firefox? [00:51] kevin_123: google. [00:51] flash works for me [00:51] question-(just trying to understand an apache concept)-I have nothing in the directory that apache points to right now, but I was trying to setup phpmyadmin, so I followed the tutorial and added "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" to the apache conf.....well it worked so i now type localhost/phpmyadmin, im justnot sure why it worked and i would like to know what's actually going on [00:52] thought adobe would have released a 64bit version of their flash plugin by now [00:52] Daisuke_Laptop, ahh. Thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to get Amarok to display in that menu :) [00:52] mortal1: nope, click the yellow bar that shows up in firefox when you need flash (visit badgerbadgebadger for example). [00:52] Rockj: i thought you said you tried that? [00:52] Shadowkllr: not right place to ask try #apache [00:52] ah ok [00:52] Rockj: or you could set it to do nothing, and open amarok manually [00:52] IndyGunFreak, I didn't try nautilus preferences, only system->pref->prefered applications.. [00:53] oh ok [00:53] jrib: that flash plugin won't work for 64 bit linux [00:53] how can I delete a list of files using rm? [00:53] I need a bit of help please - what should I have for dinner? [00:53] kbrosnan: yes it will. nspluginwrapper will be set up automatically [00:54] which command allows you to run a command per word of input (Do I even make sense?) [00:54] l337ingDisorder: stop. if you have a legitimate question regarding ubuntu, then ask [00:54] Mythril: you dont make sense [00:54] jrib, I'm on a amd64bit system. I went and installed the plugin as usual as i would do for a 32bit system [00:55] but it doesn't work [00:55] mortal1: what do you mean by "as usual"? Be specific [00:55] Daisuke_Laptop, IndyGunFreak : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=844654 (the gedit trick will do this I guess, BRB - killing X ) [00:56] i.e. i went to a site that said i needed flash, I 'clicked to install plugin' and auto downloaded the flash-nonfree from the repos [00:56] when I restarted firefox flash still didn't work [00:56] !who | mortal1 [00:56] mortal1: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:56] mortal1: didn't you say you're using 64bit? [00:56] Mythril: Are you looking for xargs? [00:56] IndyGunFreak: yes [00:56] mortal1: what version of ubuntu?

[01:13] wait [01:13] juro: why bother to use a proprietary app when firefox, konqueror etc are as good? [01:14] isn't this why we ditched windows in the first place [01:14] Rockj: if you unmount it then it should be safe to remove [01:14] jrib: did you see my post?

[01:15] B3z3rk3r: thank you. [01:15] i configure it to tunrn the monitor auto, but it doesnt work [01:15] weatherhead: so? [01:15] jrib: that website gave me no info [01:15] juro: no [01:15] hey guys is there a way to access my WINDOWS admin SHARES aka c$ over my network using ubuntu [01:15] it just says click here to install plugin [01:15] ikonia, yup - but ipod still says it is connected tho. [01:15] juro: I don't know. I don't understand web development and I guess I never will. [01:15] juro: lol..meant np [01:15] mentat: sure, samba [01:15] even though it's already installed [01:15] ikonia: [01:16] is there any other utility can do this [01:16] i tink its instalked [01:16] Why aren't there just proper standards that web browsers properly adhere to [01:16] whats the next step? [01:16] Rockj: what about if you do eject /dev/sdc or what ever it was [01:16] or are there.... but if they are why is cross browser testing necessary [01:16] mentat: do you know how to mount drives ? [01:16] hey, I have a pretty simple question [01:16] ikonia, give me a sec, Ill try [01:16] not really [01:16] but i notice that i have a FOLDER called MEDIA [01:16] ikonia: Iuse the panelplugin [01:16] and its shows my C: drive files [01:17] weatherhead: there are. the biggest problem is Internet Explorer (surprise!) but all of them are a bit different [01:17] but not my efghior j [01:17] mentat: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=your_windows_user //yourwindowsbox/yourshare /your_local_mount_pojnt [01:17] ikonia, not eject. My cdrom came out - hehe [01:17] ah thanks [01:17] mortal1: and the final missing thing? [01:17] How can i forward system alert emails to my outside email address? [01:17] Rockj: can you not do eject /dev/sdc1 ? [01:17] Rockj: or whatever the device file was [01:17] i couldn't find an about pluigns thing [01:17] I saw this article http://www.g-loaded.eu/2007/12/07/email-notifications-from-a-linux-system/ about forwarding emails that are sent to root [01:17] for stuff like cron jobs [01:17] weatherhead, sometimes the standards are vague and each browser is implemented subject to interpretation [01:17] juro: I know they are different, I use konqueror :-) I like to think of it as "creative" [01:17] danhs: set up an mta [01:17] but I'd like to get alerts sent to my gmail account [01:17] mortal1: type "about:plugins" in your address bar and press enter [01:17] or whatever you requested, it came out with a :p in the middle [01:17] ikonia: I need to setup a whole mta? [01:17] exactly [01:17] yet another reason why "web applications" are just wrong [01:18] ikonia: I can't use smtp or something? [01:18] ikonia, I used eject %d in amarok, where %d is device . [01:18] mortal1: exactly what? [01:18] weatherhead: no, creativity starts and stops with lynx [01:18] danhs: how else do you expect your local mail client to forward to the outside world [01:18] seperate that : and p for me [01:18] juro: touche. [01:18] Rockj: thats interesting [01:18] ikonia: an mta seems pretty heavyweight if all I want is to get email alerts [01:18] danhs: not really [01:18] I'm seeing it as a tounge face thing [01:18] mortal1: you just did it... it's a : and a p [01:18] danhs: your box has no way of going to the outside world [01:18] Ill try from command line ikonia - before ggeting amarok to act as it should [01:18] ikonia: no? how could I setup a really simple mta for just this limited purpose? [01:19] danhs: are you on a dsl / cable line at home ? [01:19] In the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone tutorial, can some one tell me what does "installer" means? [01:19] and once done, how could I get emails from my local user account sent to my internet email [01:19] ikonia: yes [01:19] ikonia, eject /media/IPOD actually tells me that device is busy.. [01:19] danhs: then you shouldn't set up a mail server [01:19] I don't know where an : p about plugins thing is [01:19] Rockj: ahh its it in use/locked by armaok ? [01:19] power management doesnt work with me. [01:19] ikonia, can u tell me how to sync my iphone with amarok? [01:19] could you tell me where to look? [01:19] can some one help [01:19] ikonia: ? I don't want a mail server...just want to send alerts to gmail acount [01:19] teq: no, sorry [01:19] hi [01:19] teq, you are supposed to follow these isntructions: http://www.touchdev.net/wiki/How_to_Escape_Jail [01:19] hi [01:20] danhs: you need a mail server to get the mail from your box to the outside world [01:20] ikonia: but you said I shouldn't set one up [01:20] danhs: correct [01:20] danhs: mail server are not for use on home lines [01:20] mortal1: go to your address bar and type all of the following without spaces: a b o u t : p l u g i n s [01:20] ikonia: okay, so how should I get emails to my gmail account when cron fails? [01:20] ah thank you [01:20] danhs: without some form of smtp server running, I don't see how you can [01:21] dahns: you need some type of external routing to an open mailserver, which isn't really....easy to find. it's apparently easy for you to tie in mutt or a mail client to the gmail servers if you have an account. [01:21] shonen: cron can't use things like mutt [01:21] mail can i believe [01:21] shonen: this must be a rather common situation. if my mail stays on the local box (work box or my home server) it's not so useful to me [01:21] has anyone managed to get the Mysql Tools running on Ubuntu? (or can point me to something similar) [01:21] shonen: Hmmm maybe [01:21] shonen: I don't use the cli mail applicatoin. I use gmail all the time [01:21] juro: uwhich tools ? === ttsty is now known as testy [01:21] jrib: what's wrong with actually typing that out? config i could understand, it's easy to screw things up, but afaik, plugins is just a list of installed and activated plugins [01:21] power management doesnt work with me. [01:21] can some one help [01:22] a cli application would be something that you will need to look into i would think if you are running a script [01:22] ikonia: Mysql Tools (mysql Query Browser, Mysql Administration Tool, etc) [01:22] juro: working fine here [01:22] http://rafb.net/p/oWOmmL81.html [01:22] Daisuke_Laptop: :p turns into a smiley for mortal1 and he didn't understand what I wanted [01:22] ikonia: how did you install them? [01:22] ahhh [01:22] juro: just selected the packages out the repos and clicked "install" [01:22] Hi I have swfdec installed, but get this message on youtube: [01:22] Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player.

[01:24] or emails like you would like [01:24] so , it has to be well known, network-manager is broken for wep ? [01:24] flea: works perfectly fine [01:24] still having to start wlan0 via command line here [01:24] flea: some cards have issues with wep/drivers [01:24] we have different cards, it would seem [01:25] http://rafb.net/p/oWOmmL81.html [01:25] flea, it depends on the card and chipset you have. Broadcom is one that CAN cause problems, but they have a driver for it now. [01:25] i mean even network-manager not the applet is broken, i can not add/edit networks [01:25] how to Enable the Multiverse repository?? [01:25] flea: I again suspect that is down to your card [01:25] shonen: ok, its bcm [01:25] !multiverse | alistair_ [01:25] alistair_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [01:25] flea: network manager is always broken [01:26] ikonia: is postfix modular or like compatible? im trying to use php mail, do you know if that works with postfix? [01:26] have you tried installing the restricted driver for the bcm card? [01:26] weatherhead: thats harsh [01:26] * flea thx god for understanding iwconfig [01:26] shonen: yes [01:26] mortal1: let me try installing the version you have here [01:26] xim: php's mail command is not mail server specific [01:26] iwconfig is not a prob [01:26] haha iwconfig is fun [01:26] :P [01:26] ikonia: I didn't mean completely broken :-) Just, like stubborn [01:26] i just wanted a new system to work with all its gui's not 99.9% of them [01:26] ikonia: what did you have to do to get flash working on a 64 bit system? [01:26] can iwconfig call dhcpcd/dhclient? [01:27] right clicking on network manager, make sure enable wireless is up? [01:27] mortal1: just install the plugin [01:27] flea: no [01:27] i dont know how, thus having to call dhclient after [01:27] ok [01:27] dhclient "device" [01:27] ikonia: so as long as php is correctly running, then the default (postfix) mail thing should work with it? do you know where i could find any info on how to test it to see if it is working? [01:27] odd, I installed the plugin using the mozilla repo fetch thingy [01:27] didn't work [01:27] ikonia would ssmtp do the trick for me? [01:27] xim: it won't just send mail out on to the internet, you have to set up your mail server [01:27] or esmtp [01:28] thx all, just wanted to make sure i wasnt totally crazy [01:28] Daisuke_Laptop, this seems to do nothing in terminal: !multiverse [01:28] danhs: I personally don't think so, as smtp servers should not be run on home lines, and ISP's normally block them [01:28] * Daisuke_Laptop headdesks [01:28] mortal1: ok, I tried and it's working so lets start over. Open a terminal and do 'sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree' [01:28] ikonia: go to the link that popped up when i entered that [01:28] err [01:28] ikonia: i dont wanna make you expalin too much but im not really even sure what to put into google to find out about it [01:28] ssmtp can use remote smtps i believe, like gmails [01:28] alistair_, not ikonia [01:28] Daisuke_Laptop: entered what ? [01:29] ikonia: why couldn't I just connect to gmail's smtp server? [01:29] lol hang on [01:29] seems easy enough [01:29] xim: where are docs on setting up mail servers [01:29] I just went to badgerbadgerbadger.com [01:29] and it worked [01:29] ... [01:29] odd [01:29] danhs: because you won't be able to authenticate [01:29] mortal1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:29] danhs: and cron is dumb in the way it mails out [01:29] mortal1: heh, ok. Make sure something like google video works [01:29] Anyone have Open Arena?

[01:30] jdrake: check against those [01:30] ikonia: i thought you could set smtp authentication in ssmtp [01:30] ubuntu is criticizing my lack of compound sentences? lol [01:31] Anyone have Open Arena? If so you want to play online? [01:31] They are not the same as mine. [01:31] shonen: your right, but he was asking how to connect directly to a remote gmail server I believe [01:31] entropy51423: please don't canvas in here [01:31] Canvas?

[01:50] freenode is for LOTS of things [01:50] mentat_: that was an example command I gave [01:51] yeah [01:51] more then just open source [01:51] i filled in the blanks with my info [01:51] isharis, strange people everywhere of should I say stupid :p [01:51] mentat_: you need to start reading a few docs and not just typing blindly [01:51] OK so its not a private messagfe then I will set up another chat windows and figure out thank you. [01:51] goanookie: no - you shouldn't [01:51] ikonia: i ran the command u gave me and put my info in place [01:51] mentat_: have you got eh smbfs package installed ? [01:51] Hey I installed kde then it used kdm as the main boot thing so i then uninstalled kdm so it would boot gdm and now it doesn't boot unless i go in recovery mode and type gdm into the prompt, how do i fix this? [01:51] Hello channel! Are there any graphic MPD admin tools out there? For database creation, config and so? [01:51] im sure i do [01:52] let me double check [01:52] Hey all, question, is it possible to edit grub from within ubuntu so that if I reboot the computer it will start windows instead and then return to ubtunu as default at next reboot? [01:52] bcarlyon|laptop: yup, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:52] alistair_ http://www.xchat.org/faq/#q217 http://www.xchat.org/faq/ [01:52] bcarlyon|laptop, I'm not sure bcarlyon|laptop: change the default option to match your windows menu number [01:52] . [01:53] bcarlyon|laptop, but qgrubedit is a nice tool to edit hte grub menu [01:53] how do i set gdm as my default boot manager? [01:53] ah [01:53] The thing is I set up WoL on the box, but need the ability to boot into windows or ubuntu, but ubuntu is the default [01:53] OK I have looked at FAQ but this is what I want to do say lordleemo you reply to this message - I want to be notified. [01:53] ...what happened to zsnes in 8.04? [01:54] bcarlyon|laptop: I've just told you how to make windows the default [01:54] it's not in the repos [01:54] Please bear with me I will try some settings for notification [01:54] !info zsnes [01:54] zsnes (source: zsnes): Emulator of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Version 1.510-2ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 879 kB, installed size 4060 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) [01:54] Will that switch it back to ubtunu at next reboot since Windows wont let me edit grub since windows doesnt recognise the drive [01:54] mortal1, sure it is [01:54] !easycrypt [01:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about easycrypt [01:54] alistair_: system prefrences sound choose the event ie notification and select the sound file [01:55] !grub [01:55] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

I have set my ubuntu box to be static ip and now dns server is not working. Looking at /etc/resolv.conf it seems like things have changed quite a bit in the new version. Is there a good documentation on what I'm supposed to do to fix this? [01:56] hello sinners [01:56] does anyone know how to siwtch the default display manager [01:56] bcarlyon|laptop, so you want Windows to be the default boot option? [01:56] Only for a single boot process [01:56] syazdani: nothing has changed [01:56] Since I am remote access the machine [01:56] !ot | seekingtruth [01:56] seekingtruth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:56] syazdani: resolv.conf works the same in 8.04 as it did in 6.06 and early [01:57] bastid_raZor: are u OP here? [01:57] For example remote in to ubtuntu reboot to windows then reboot from windows back to ubtunu ikonia [01:57] bastid_raZor: easy on the comment there, he only said hello [01:57] seekingtruth, take chat elsewhere. [01:57] Anybody have problems with their DVD burner immediately closing after being opened? This is the 2nd burner in a row.. [01:57] bcarlyon|laptop: I've told you what to do [01:57] ikonia: alright, then it doesn't work the way it does on gentoo I guess. There is a warning saying do not edit this by hand. [01:57] bazhang: ditto [01:57] bcarlyon|laptop: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Booting-once_002donly.html#Booting-once_002donly [01:57] syazdani: it works exactly the same was way as it does in gentoo [01:57] syazdani: nameservers are listed in there [01:58] this is very odd, does anyone know why zsnes wouldn't show in the repos for me [01:58] ikonia: in where? I just want to add my nameserver to resolv.conf. I have static ip, so dhclient is not being called, but I don't want to edit /etc/resolv.conf if there is a better place to edit it. [01:59] virtual boy, gsnes98x etc all show [01:59] is there a program that will let windows users run linux applications. Like wine for linux [01:59] syazdani: you have to edit resolv.conf - thats what it's there for [01:59] mortal1, you need to enable the proper repo [01:59] i need some hlep with my screen resolution [01:59] syazdani: you can put static info in there [01:59] syazdani: as I said it works exactly the same in every other distro [01:59] syazdani: the network manager is the place to edit your nameservers. If you don't use the network manager then you should be fine editing resolv.conf directly. [01:59] Juston-CTC: look into cygwin [01:59] ikonia: so, I should just ignore the big warning in that file. [01:59] ok [02:00] Thanks [02:00] i will try that [02:00] syazdani: which warning ? [02:00] Well this is crazy - I dont get beep sound notification, but with nothing checked my tray icon still blinks must be a bug [02:00] ikonia: in the /etc/resolv.conf [02:00] Juston-CTC: np [02:00] Thanks ikonia will have a play [02:00] syazdani: what does it say [02:00] bazhang: I have all the multi uni etc verse repos enabled under soft sources [02:00] is there no nickserv on freenode? [02:00] ikonia: This is what it says: [02:00] # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) [02:00] # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN [02:00] syazdani: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:00] syazdani: your not using dynamic [02:01] nope. [02:01] syazdani: so yes, you can ignore that [02:01] alright. [02:01] thanks. [02:01] syazdani: although I'm concerned why you have that warning, I don't see it in an 8.04 box [02:01] mortal1, then refresh and apt-cache search zsnes ; if successful it will show up; if not then paste /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com (NOT here) [02:01] can enyone help me with screen ressolution problems [02:02] ? [02:02] I can help you [02:03] alistair_ test message [02:03] Hello, I just tried to encode a video with Avidemux under Linux. But surprisingly it's only 1/20 ! as fast as my Win with the same Programm. Whats wrong? [02:03] Alistair: could you please not test in here, [02:03] I'm encoding in x264 [02:04] macros: thats quite cpu internsive [02:04] ikonia, well OK but nobody seemed to know the answer which I have just found for notification. Cheers. [02:05] is there a command line to refresh the package sources so i can show you i did it right? [02:05] ikonia: I Know that, but the Windows XP on the same PC is so much faster, as I said, approximatly 20 times [02:05] To get visual notification of list messages directed to yourself you place your list name within the highlight options box. If you do not do that you get notified by all. [02:05] how do i can add a Second Screen on Ubuntu [02:05] macros: better algorhythem [02:05] ? [02:06] d 5807 [02:06] alistair_: you don't have to tell the channel, only you was asking about it [02:06] macros: unless you're running avidemux as root it may be limited in its CPU resources in order to prevent it from hogging the CPU. [02:06] macros: is your cpu multi-core, I think I remember something about this [02:07] ikonia: Yes it is [02:07] how can i start a program that runs in X over ssh? i want it started locally. [02:07] pajamian: I will try it, wait a second [02:07] macros: I recall a similar situation with mencoder and as I recall, you have to pass specific options to get it (as in that codec) to be multicore aware [02:07] i'm thinking of prototyping an install i want to do in VMware and moving it over. Is there any tool that will let me use an entire install as a base to generate a new install disk? [02:08] Kernel, woule it not be easier to VNC to your box and start it that way? [02:08] macros: try ikonia's suggestions first, he probably knows more than I do about this. [02:08] bcarlyon|laptop: no. i dont want to use vnc. [02:08] ikonia / macros sorry to butt in but what software? [02:08] faileas: a video encoder [02:08] Kernel: ssh -X (or small x) [02:08] Kernel: ssh -X [02:08] sup [02:08] i need to ssh from computer b into computer a and start a graphical program on computer a [02:08] ikonia: ffmpeh?

[02:09] Kernel: ssh -X foo@bar.com [02:09] faileas: small -x is block x [02:09] faileas: no [02:09] faileas: ikonia pajamian that didnt work [02:09] GAYS, GAYS important question. What would the plural of platypus bez, Platypussies?

[02:11] how do I get Atheros drivers to load on boot? [02:11] macros: then you probably should try to find the option that makes avidemux multi-core aware. Sorry, I don't know what it is. [02:11] sup guys [02:12] qr_: i sent the kill signal to the EXACT SAME PID 3 times, nothing [02:12] clever: because really, nothing should survive kill -9 [02:12] qr_: if it was just starting back up, it would have a new pid [02:12] macros: if you do a "top" in one window, wach it encode, and I'll put money it's only using 1 core [02:12] balgarath: david eddings fan?

[02:12] qr_: did i mention im in the middle of a dist-upgrade [02:12] ikonia: In the options of avidemux there is already a threads option enabled as automatic. It doesn't change the encoding speed. [02:13] macros: it's a funny option [02:13] ikonia: if i manually set it to 2 or 4 [02:13] macros: I had to hardcode it [02:13] how can i create a shortcut to a folder on my desktop? [02:13] I still can't connect to the internet with Ubuntu...i've tried the Martian driver, but it gets an error everytime I try to do it, and the topic about it on Ubuntu forums didn't work, either [02:13] qr_: and that the same process in 2 upgrades(seperate systems) has frozen the same way! [02:13] macros: that codec wasn't the same as others [02:13] macros: hence why I had to set it manually [02:13] bazhang: http://rafb.net/p/VQe77I64.html [02:14] clever: it doesn't look frozen to me, frozen wouldn't be using 92% CPU. [02:14] pajamian: its stuck in some inf loop in kernel space [02:14] Is it possible to mount my ubutnu hard disk in windows?

[02:14] hi [02:14] ikonia, only need to reedit grub.... [02:14] i'm thinking of prototyping an install i want to do in VMware and moving it over. Is there any tool that will let me use an entire install as a base to generate a new install disk? the system is quite old so i'll need to do a custom disk to make it work [02:15] clever: yep, to that process. How long have you given it to complete so far? [02:15] bcarlyon|laptop: well, you don't need to mount into windows for that [02:15] bcarlyon|laptop: boot into grub and press "e" to enter edit mode [02:15] mortal1, no wonder. you are on amd64. there is a solution for this on the forums however. [02:15] pajamian: several minutes [02:15] heres the full deal. i have mythtv installed on my server with a remote. when i hit the power button on the remote i want the server to ssh into my main computer and start mythfrontend so i can watch tv. [02:15] I do if I am working remotly === poseidon` is now known as poseidon [02:15] And cant do press e [02:15] how can I find out which device node the rs232 port on my mainboard has gotten? [02:15] pajamian: its not even left the syscall its in [02:15] so i just got a new webcam! (birthday present from the girlfriend) aaaand... i have no idea if i have the drivers for it, if the microphone works, etc [02:15] Since you cant remote in to a computer that isnt finished booting [02:15] bcarlyon|laptop: if your working remotly, how can you mount it on windows [02:15] is there an easy config tool for that? [02:16] The box is dual boot [02:16] i just need a way to start mythfrontend using ssh. ssh -X 192.168.5.60 'mythfrontend' does not work [02:16] clever: well, it looks to me like you may be screwed with this. I don't know how to fix it without a reboot. [02:16] bcarlyon|laptop: thats your call then, but there is no way I'd edit a grub menu file in windows [02:16] * goanookie later all food time [02:16] pajamian: yeah reboot is my only idea also, but i also suspect a reboot in the middle of an upgrade to cause horid problems:P [02:16] The box has to hds one with ubuntu one is xp, I'm theorising how to wol the box then be able to switch between windows and ubtunut from a remote location [02:16] hmm [02:17] clever: yeah, that's why I said you're screwed [02:17] bcarlyon|laptop: thats your call [02:17] Kernel: i've used freenx to do something like that [02:17] ikonia: I don't see an option to pass an commandline parameter to x264 from avidemux. [02:17] can i add 2 IRC servers on the x-chat irc gnome ... [02:17] ikonia: Also i cannot imagine that using only one core would decrease to speed to 1/20 [02:17] I just have Ubuntu Server [02:17] macros: I don't use avidemux - so I don't know [02:17] i know its an additional piece of software, but it works pretty well [02:17] bcarlyon|laptop: did you follow that link I gave you earlier? [02:17] macros: you'd be surprised, [02:17] pajamian: i could test reboot the laptop, i can allways netboot and chroot it to fix things [02:17] faileas: is that like vnc?...or [02:17] pajamian, I think I missed it can you repaste please? [02:18] Kernel: is X11 Forwarding set to yes in both the server and client configs [02:18] clever: sure...

[02:18] macros: check out mencoder [02:18] macros: as another option [02:18] ikonia: let me double check...but isnt X11 forwarding for running programs OVER ssh? ie.....ssh into computerA start program...and it shows up running on computerB [02:18] how can i change an icon for a launcher? [02:19] I still can't connect to the internet with Ubuntu...i've tried the Martian driver, but it gets an error everytime I try to do it, and the topic about it on Ubuntu forums didn't work, either [02:19] Kernel: if you don't mind the need for an additional client server setup, its worth checking out [02:19] faileas: oh. thats not really what im looking for [02:19] Kernel: what do you think your trying to do [02:19] Kernel: your trying to run a program over X111 [02:19] Kernel: your trying to run a program over X11 [02:19] no [02:19] not over [02:19] Kernel: X11 over ssh [02:19] pajamian: i also managed to get a backtrace within the kernel space [02:19] Kinetix, martian driver; for what card make and model [02:19] i DO NOT WANT to run the program on computer b [02:19] Kernel: you generally can't just start a GUI programme over x11 AFAIK. [02:19] clever: as I said, you've got a better handle on it than me. [02:19] faileas: yea its looking like thats the case [02:20] That was the exact thing I was after pajamian many thanks [02:20] ikonia: I know Mencoder, but mencoder is only for encoding, I also trim the videos, cut some advertisments out and so on.

[02:27] pajamian: mostly worked, X is dead now [02:27] Kernel: ask your younger brother to do that for you [02:27] what codecs does the ipod accept that i can convert flv files into? === kaffee is now known as kaeffchen [02:27] i'll resume the upgrade and see if that fixes it [02:27] clever: ok, cool [02:28] ari_stress: lol. hes off to college in a few days. im thinking long term here! [02:28] oh [02:28] hmm [02:28] pajamian: vice versa. i want the program to be launched ON my main computer FROM my myth server [02:28] can anyone tell me what directory lame would be installed to as default from apt-get? [02:28] How do I install ubuntu such that it installs only the terminal without the GUI? [02:28] qr_: hmm that will work? === _Zeus_|idle is now known as _Zeus_ [02:29] GamingX: use the alternate cd [02:29] GamingX: install ubuntu-server [02:29] pajamian: woot, crashed again:P [02:29] Kernel: yes, I have a vaguely similar setup to you and I use that method to start X programs on a remote screen over ssh. [02:29] ncfi1013: best bet is xvid with a mp4 extention [02:29] ncfi1013: ipods only accept .mov i do believe.. but converting a .flv, to .mov, will be problematic at best, i had no luck w/ it. [02:29] Can't I do that from the desktop cd? [02:29] qr_: hmm. im gonna need to code this myself...and i SUCK at coding. i struggle with hello world. so i need to keep it VERY VERY simple...as in like 1-2 commands [02:29] Kernel: ok, well the "computer A" and "computer B" was confusing. Expressing it in terms of myth server and workstation would probably help. [02:29] how can i tell apt not to try to update a package? i just compiled a newer version myself, and it wants to replace it [02:29] pajamian: i'll reboot again and see if i can convince apt to not run locatedef [02:29] GamingX: nope. you could use the minimal/netinstall disc though [02:29] GamingX: no u should use the 'alternate cd' [02:29] Hello Channel! I'm having some trouble getting the Aurora GTK engine to work in Hardy. Is there a known problem with it in Ubuntu or something? [02:29] clever: good luck [02:29] faileas: Whats an alternate cd? [02:29] pajamian: sorry about that. [02:30] !alternate | GamingX [02:30] GamingX: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [02:30] pajamian: i also wasnt sure if ppl where familier with myth [02:30] Thanks [02:30] Kernel: most people here know what myth is. [02:30] GamingX: when you download the cd, there's a little checkmark for it. its better if you have an older system, or know what you're doing ;p [02:30] hi ubottu, oh it's new info for me. alternate cd supports wider hardware? interesting [02:30] GamingX: but it still installs a GUI by default.. you might be looking more at the minimal install. [02:30] Kernel: ok, so I'm a bit confused, can you explain one mroe time without using "computer A" and "computer B" terms? [02:31] pajamian: sure [02:31] <_Zeus_> !ubottu ubuntu [02:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubottu ubuntu [02:31] <_Zeus_> oops :-O [02:31] Kernel: u mean the game or the TV frontend? [02:31] Indygun: I'm looking at learning the shell. So I want it text only mode, I'll go for the minimal install. [02:31] GamingX: thats a helluva way to learn.. good luck [02:32] pajamian: ok. here goes: i have a myth-backend and a mythfront end. the backend has the hook ups for the cable box and the remote. i want the backend to ssh into the frontend and start mythfrontend ON the frontend computer. [02:32] GamingX: go for it, as IndyGunFreak says, it's a helluva way to learn, though :-) [02:32] GamingX: thats jumping in the deep end wearing full plate mail! :P [02:32] <_Zeus_> GamingX: Can't you learn the shell from a GUI environment? [02:32] Kernel: ok, is the frontend your workstation? [02:32] <_Zeus_> just force yourself to use it [02:32] B3z3rk3r: i was thinking more like jumping head first into 1ft of water...lol [02:32] GamingX, imho learning the shell would go alot easier if u had a nice gui frontend like konsole or gnome-terminal [02:33] B3z3rk3r: XD. well, most of my test VMs are command line only. it *does* help a little [02:33] <_Zeus_> GamingX: You will find things you can't really do in the shell [02:33] _Zeus_: I would, but then I would be tempted to use GUI itself. [02:33] pajamian: there theory behind it is...i dont want to get up and type mythfronend on the front end machine everytime i wanna watch tv. [02:33] pajamian: yea [02:33] _Zeus_: Name one. [02:33] <_Zeus_> GamingX: well, I guess that's a possibility [02:33] Kernel: ok, hrmmmmm [02:33] <_Zeus_> qr_: anything with flash? :-P [02:33] GamingX: and what is wrong w/ using the GUI?... if you want to learn to use shell, use it... if you're afraid you just ca't resist clicking an icon or a menu option, then well.. [02:33] GamingX: think yourself as a monk and the gui as the sexy lady. try to avoid her seduction in front of you :) [02:33] _Zeus_: I would get frustrated and feel WTH, I can use the GUI. [02:34] _Zeus_: other than using a gui, obviously. [02:34] pajamian: its *alot* harder then i anticipated. the command ssh -X 192.168.5.60 'mythfrontend' does nothing. [02:34] <_Zeus_> qr_: isn't the the point? :-P [02:34] GamingX: well the idea behind the OS isn't to be ahrd, its to be friendly, easy to use, and functional.. if you want something hard to use w/ a GUI.. try slackware, or Gentoo, or maybe Sabayon [02:34] Kernel: I think it would just work to use -x (lowercase x) for ssh, that will force the program to run on the frontend and *not* channel the output back to the backend. I'm not sure if it will work, though. It may be more complicated than that. [02:34] <_Zeus_> GamingX: I guess the bright side is once you get used to the shell is you will prefer it to the GUI [02:34] GamingX: you could install a console oriented window manager like wmii. [02:34] <_Zeus_> I know I do [02:34] pajamian: ook let me try [02:35] pajamian: lowercase x didnt work it said this: [02:35] xprop: unable to open display '' [02:35] mythfrontend.real: cannot connect to X server [02:35] <_Zeus_> ari_stress: I like your example [02:35] <_Zeus_> :-D [02:35] _Zeus_: ;) [02:35] Gah, I'm so frusterated with Ubuntu. [02:35] <_Zeus_> lol [02:35] <_Zeus_> BrendanWelsh: ? [02:36] BrendanWelsh: why [02:36] ari_stress: Yeah, good example. Thats what real life is, isn't it? [02:36] Kernel: ok, there may be a way to specify the display for it to run on, but there is another approach you can try ... [02:36] <_Zeus_> GamingX: LOL [02:36] Nothing every works right! (I'm not saying it's not my fault, but it's frusterating.) [02:36] GamingX: you can always turn off gdm to get rid the gui [02:36] <_Zeus_> ari_stress: good point [02:36] BrendanWelsh: , well, describe nothing... and mostly, it works fine if you do it riht. [02:36] <_Zeus_> that way it's easy to reenable once you get used to the shell [02:36] !ot [02:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:36] pajamian: whatcha thinking for the otherway? [02:36] hi Nutt718 [02:36] lets take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:36] BrendanWelsh: what's the exact problem? life is not perfect afterall [02:36] <_Zeus_> bazhabg: WTH? [02:37] Hello! My Xchat settings got screwed up and I had to understand what is what from scratch to log in again. Earlier I knew nothing about IRCnetwork (freenode), channel(#ubuntu), serverpassword (for us to login),user name (me), user password(mine),etc., Now after Xchat data got corrupted after the disc got full, I had to learn to manually set these things. Friends, those who don't know these please learn. [02:37] <_Zeus_> bazhang: we are doing support [02:37] I realize that, and I know it's my fault... I'm just... venting persay. The exact problem is... Well, there are a few. [02:37] pajamian: that worked, i made a fake localedef script which does nothing [02:37] _Zeus_, dont use those acronyms here; also chat elsewhere please. [02:37] <_Zeus_> BrendanWelsh: if you don't tell us we can't help you :-P [02:37] pajamian: i probly broke other things but atleast the upgrade can continue [02:37] i spent all day re running cables and rearranging my room. i then installed mythtv onto the server....and now i dont know if its even gonna work! i may have to revert to the old way...which is a major pain in the arse [02:37] Kernel: one approach would be to somehow trigger the front end to run the program, you could write a short script that will loop through and sleep 10 seconds, checking for the existence of a file that you can touch from a ssh command from the backend. [02:38] pajamian: good idea [02:38] 1) Sound randomly stops working in both Firefox/Amarok at seperate times, and I have to restart the application to get it to work again. I also get random freezing of tons of applications, including terminal. I also have an issue where nothing is cenetered on my screen every few times I reboot... [02:38] pajamian: the thing is....it needs to come FROM the backend. only the backend has the remote receiver. [02:38] <_Zeus_> BrendanWelsh: Maybe you should run memtest86+ [02:38] <_Zeus_> about the freezing [02:38] BrendanWelsh: sounds major problems there, maybe you have a faulty hardware? [02:39] pajamian: or you could run ssh over ssh to ssh back to the server (ie server ssh's to the front end and runs ssh to connect to the back end) [02:39] Possibly? [02:39] so when i hit power...boom mythfrontend starts on the frontend. [02:39] pajamian: more efficient than polling a file [02:39] Kernel: that's fine, the backend can ssh to the box and touch the file, then the frontend would see that the file exists and use that as a trigger to start x. [02:39] ari_stress: the sound, first thing i would do, is switch all apps from Pulse Audio, to Alsa... [02:39] <_Zeus_> BrendanWelsh: I would start by booting to memtest86+ and run a test [02:39] <_Zeus_> see if you get errors === Alvin_FN is now known as cew_ifa_cutezz [02:39] qr_: that sounds very confusing, heh. [02:39] Knowing my luck, the entire thing will be erroneous. [02:39] IndyGunFreak: ubuntu use pulse as default now? i thought it's only for LTSP [02:39] pajamian: ah i see. but thats way over my head....i cant code. [02:39] <_Zeus_> are_stresss: yes [02:39] Any shell based browser? [02:39] ari_stress: 8.04 is LTSP [02:40] Kernel: a non-polling solution is to have the back end ssh to the front end and run ssh to connect to the back end and run your viewer program with x forwarding. [02:40] Right now, all I want to do is be able to sync my FLAC files to my iPod and have them convert to Mp3 in the process. ;) [02:40] <_Zeus_> GamingX: yes i think it's lyx [02:40] GamingX: links lynx [02:40] Kernel: it's simple, I'll do something up for you real quick in the pastebin ... [02:40] <_Zeus_> oh sorry lynx not lyx :-( [02:40] anybody know of a good way to access ubuntu remotely without having to have someone accept on other end..(like logmein) ?? [02:40] pajamian: oh. hey that would be really cool. thanks [02:40] ari_stress: do you mean Linux Terminal Server Project or Long Term Support?

[02:42] ari_stress, that is not appropriate here. [02:42] ty.....don't you have to compile it or something though??? that's where I got lost [02:42] ari_stress: you could render it using libaa [02:42] sorry bazhang [02:42] qr_: Reading documents, writing documents etc [02:42] lol [02:42] it's my last day in this office, yay! i kind of high [02:42] GamingX: depends on the type of documents, you can't manipulate, say, word documents in the terminal alone.

[02:52] <_Zeus_> masterspry: you know how to start a shell? [02:53] no? [02:53] BZWingZero; iirc ktorrent has that.. [02:53] <_Zeus_> masterspry: forget that [02:53] <_Zeus_> firefox posts no output [02:54] <_Zeus_> this happens for anything w/ flash? [02:54] no i don't see that? anywhere. [02:54] pajamian: your a genious man! that worked [02:54] dexter: why did you need to install db2 in the first place? [02:54] BZWingZero; and yes, now that i look ktorrent has web interface [02:54] <_Zeus_> how did you install flash? [02:54] bastid_raZor: Can it be set up without using a gui? I only have terminal access [02:54] Kernel: you can set it as a startup program under System / Preferences / Sessions [02:55] well it was when i install Ubuntu. [02:55] <_Zeus_> do me a favor [02:55] rustychicken; i m enrolling myself into tgmc....so they require that i work with db2 express-c or db2 udb [02:55] <_Zeus_> press alt+f2 and type "xterm" [02:55] BZWingZero; you can install it via terminal but activating web interface in terminal i don't know.. it is a KDE app you could ask in #kubuntu to find that info out.

[02:57] Using irssi, how can I switch to tab 16? Alt + arrows doesn't seem to work (gnome-terminal ignores it and tty rotates between various tty sessions) [02:57] Kernel: the polling delay is the number on the sleep line. [02:58] dmsuperman: Alt-y [02:58] tritium, yeah, it ignores that for some reason [02:58] dmsuperman: I'm using that in gnome-terminal [02:58] Is my 'home folder' at /home or /home/daniel ? [02:58] pajamian: right. i figured id leave it as is for now...untill i got it all just the way i want it. [02:58] ethereality; /home/daniel [02:59] dmsuperman: try pressing escape instead of holding alt [02:59] I installed ruby now I've uninstalled the package using synaptic [02:59] but i thought the home folder was the folder named home? [02:59] dmsuperman: try disablgin all menu access keys and menu shortcut key [02:59] bastid_raZor: you're assuming his name is daniel :) [02:59] disabling, even [02:59] Now however when I look /usr/lib/ruby [02:59] chieffancypants, :P [02:59] <_Zeus_> ethereality: /home contains the home folders for ALL users [02:59] dmsuperman: it works in xterm, I don't know about gnome-terminal [02:59] dexter: i cant even find a link for db2 udb, so my guess is db2 express C [02:59] but /home/daniel is "my home folder"? [02:59] ok it now saids flash plugin install. [02:59] its still there. I want it gone for good so that I can reinstall as if it were never on my system what should I do? [02:59] <_Zeus_> etharality: yes [02:59] sorry for the hold up. [02:59] cool. thanks guys :) [02:59] Can some one tell me after untaring a file how you # ./confiuger the file I for got [02:59] <_Zeus_> masterspry: now try flash again [03:00] <_Zeus_> np [03:00] dexter: but, as i said, i think you will probably have to follow IBM's instructions on their website [03:00] on firefox right? [03:00] <_Zeus_> yes [03:00] qr_, escape did it [03:00] all right. === B3z3rk3r is now known as B3z3rk3r|F00d-BR [03:00] joker: change in the directory you extracted and type ./configure in a terminal. [03:00] qr_, what about alt + left/right...any idea why that doesn't work? it only gives me C and D respectively (as if I'd typed them) [03:00] qr_, I should note this is running in screen, if i hadn't already [03:00] dmsuperman: as I said above [03:00] or that it matter === B3z3rk3r|F00d-BR is now known as B3z3rk3r [03:01] never mind I lied no such thing has happeded it appears to be gone for good now [03:01] tritium, there are no keys for alt + left or right [03:01] dmsuperman: screen could be causing it. It has to do with how your terminal (which screen emulates) interprets control characters. Terminal control characters is a really ugly subject. [03:01] dmsuperman: huh? See what I sent you above. [03:01] <`Kermudge> Simple question I hope how on earth does one view imbeded pictures in thunderbird. Net has been no help with this. :( [03:02] Hi! am I linked to ubuntu channel pl?

[03:03] <_Zeus_> ksbalaji: I would suggest booting to the ubuntu Live CD and using gparted to resize partitions [03:03] <_Zeus_> masterspry: so it's fixed? (sorta)? [03:03] yeah i think.

[03:04] but thanks for the help anyways., [03:04] dexter: i would personally go with db2 express c, because it looks like a good license (i didnt read the license though), but your needs may be vastly different than mine [03:04] <_Zeus_> masterspry: np [03:04] * U235Psycho is away (auto-away after 2hrs of inactivity) - (10:04 pm) === U235Psycho is now known as Psycho|away [03:04] can i ask you something why is it that it happens only Linux but not on a Mac or windows. [03:04] you know.? [03:05] rustychicken; thanq do u know how 2 install it after downloading...i m n ubuntu hardy [03:05] dmsuperman: the gnome-terminal keyboard shortcuts do not affect Alt-1 through Alt-0. Nor do they affect Alt-Left or Alt-Right. [03:05] !away > Psycho|away [03:05] Psycho|away, please see my private message [03:05] tritium, that's what I'm saying...I think it's screen interfering === masterspry is now known as spry [03:05] bastid_raZor: I asked in #kubuntu, apparently ktorrent has to be configured from the gui. [03:05] dmsuperman: I don't, as I'm using screen as well. [03:05] tritium, oh, [03:05] _Zeus_, I don't know much about repartitioning. So instead of risking, I want to move applications to another ext3 partition. Say open-office. Help [03:05] tritium, either way...no big deal this is the only time i've ever had that many tabs, and i don't plan on it again [03:05] dmsuperman: but disabling them should restort Alt-q through Alt-p for you. [03:06] q w e t and a couple others work [03:06] just a few, and the arrows [03:06] <_Zeus_> ksbalaji: I think it's a lot easier to resize partitions than to figure out how to move installed applications [03:06] tritium, I know not anything about Polish. [03:06] dmsuperman: yes, the others would work by disabling the keyboard shortcuts [03:06] ksbalaji: you asked about "pl" [03:06] ksbalaji: you'd be better off moving something such as your /home directory. [03:07] I've just tried installing Ubuntu Server but the system keeps telling me its running out of swap space could it mean memory? [03:07] <_Zeus_> valleyp: no it means swap [03:07] as in hard drive space? [03:08] valleyp, How big is your swap partition? [03:08] valleyp: as in the swap partition on your hard drive. [03:08] i doesnt have one yet just command.com [03:08] uhh.. [03:08] <_Zeus_> valleyp: what is command.com? [03:08] <_Zeus_> this is ubuntu right? [03:09] windows 98 command com [03:09] valleyp: are you trying to use the wubi installer? [03:09] i think i see [03:09] BZWingZero; ah, i was looking at transmission to. i didn't see a way to configure it in CLI .. rtorrent is CLI but i don't know if it has the web interface ability. [03:09] no [03:09] <_Zeus_> ohh [03:09] _Zeus_, I have upgraded from gutsy to hardy. I do not have the upgrade CD now. I had to erase the iso file after upgrading for want of space. Also will I loose data in the other ext3 partition on resize? [03:09] valleyp, when you were partitioning your hdd in the first couple of steps during the install you have to make a swap partition roughly 2x the amount of memory you have. [03:09] not with gparted [03:09] but of course, backup [03:09] <_Zeus_> ksbalaji: very unlinely to lose data from resize. but it IS possible [03:09] valleyp: instead of a pagefile, linux generally uses an entire swap partition [03:09] <_Zeus_> dude: it is possible [03:09] it never made it to partitioning [03:10] <_Zeus_> valleyp: how much RAM do you have? [03:10] i see whats happening [03:10] _Zeus_: anything is possible [03:10] 128 [03:10] megs [03:10] does anyone know how to *properly* change the directory in the my.cnf for mysql so i can store my databases elsewhere? Just changing the "defaultdatadir =/var/lib/mysql" does not work, i keep getting a socket error even when i try to connect, i even tried changed references to /var/lib/mysql in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld [03:10] tritium, oh - sorry I meant pl for Please! [03:10] which is why god invented tar [03:10] valleyp: can you start from the beginning and tell us exactly what you did to try to install ubuntu and where it failed? [03:10] anybody know of a good guide to setting up mpd to do streaming music over the web? I'd prefer to use it with my current apache, as well, if possible === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:10] valleyp, You couldn't have installed anything without seeing the partitioner. [03:10] <_Zeus_> valleyp: 128MB is not enough for wubi [03:10] Hey guys, what do ou recommend for a Dock like MAC [03:10] Ive suddenly lost my minimze/max/close buttons... Any ideas? [03:10] i could use parted magic to install the partition then install [03:10] I'd love to have a setup where mpd has a web interface to select and play music right in the browser, using a flash player or the like [03:11] <_Zeus_> 256 MB RAM and an 1 GHz or faster Intel/AMD processor is recommended for optimal performance, [03:11] b3lorix, I don't like it. === high-freq_ is now known as high-freq [03:11] _Zeus_: that's optimal? I would consider that minimal [03:11] dmsuperman: google for web mpd cleints [03:11] <_Zeus_> valleyp: have you tried xubuntu [03:11] <_Zeus_> pajamian: yes that is the minimal [03:11] <_Zeus_> even though it says "reccomended" [03:11] pajamian, I was told elsewhere that just moving /home is not correct. That would make Hardy forget the /home itself! [03:11] <_Zeus_> :-/ [03:11] valleyp, your trying to install the server right? [03:11] valleyp: i suggest using the text install version (should be included on the cd), or xubuntu, as people have already state [03:11] Gun_Smoke, noone asked if youd like it [03:12] _Zeus_: look at you tabbing everyone [03:12] right [03:12] !dock [03:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about dock [03:12] <_Zeus_> chieffancypants: hahaha lol [03:12] b3lorix, Sorry I misread your question. [03:12] b3lorix: AWN if you really want something like the OSX dock [03:12] b3lorix, awn [03:12] awn is buggy [03:12] BZWingZero, isnt AWN beta? [03:12] b3lorix: yes, but for the most part its usable. [03:13] BZWingZero, know any non beta ones [03:13] ksbalaji: you can't pick and choose different applications to put on a seperate partition. You can move your /home directory but I recommend that you boot to the live CD and do it from there. [03:13] ksbalaji: and ... I think that resizingyour partition with gparted will probably be eaiser for you. [03:13] In Pidgin, whats a quick way to reply to teh last person who sent yu a message in IRG [03:13] ksbalaji, listen to pajamian [03:14] How can I force an app to run at a certain res? I want to play DOOM 3 on my HDTV but DOOM 3 only loads in 4:3 and my TV says that is an "Invalid Format" [03:14] b3lorix: cairo-dock is similar and not beta as far as I know. I've never used it though. [03:14] b3lorix; i was using cairo-dock for some time.. then the latest version of that went all to crap.. i'm back to AWN now. which for the last week has been 'very' stable for me. === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [03:16] BZWingZero; possibly, cairo-dock has issues with something in 8.04. in 7.10 it ran without issue. after the upgrade to 8.04 .xession-errors was filled with errors and eventually X would crash or the box would lock up entirely [03:16] think I know how to take it from here thanks [03:16] How can I force an app to run at a certain res? I want to play DOOM 3 on my HDTV but DOOM 3 only loads in 4:3 and my TV says that is an "Invalid Format" [03:16] hey, can someone help me with a problem i am having with firefox in ubuntu [03:16] bastid_raZor: I used awn, or a non 100% width gnome-panel set to autohide [03:17] i'm not getting any sound when using flash [03:17] BZWingZero; i am a big fan of cairo-dock. awesome eyecandy and effects.. just buggy for the moment. i even tried the subversion of it. [03:18] anyone have any ideas? [03:19] bastid_raZor: I'll try it next time it becomes a little more stable. Right now I'm keeping the stuff running a little slim to keep resources available for gaming [03:19] thanks pajamian (and bazhang)I shall try gparted. Is it something which takes care of existing data? [03:19] ive lost my minimize/max/close and the terminal is just coming up a white box, like it never loads... Also cannot drag by toolbar anymore. this just started... [03:19] ksbalaji, of course not; you need to back up first. [03:19] ksbalaji: it does, but I recommend making backups first if you can, at least of the important stuff. [03:19] Be1, http://tinyurl.com/6ft2hh [03:20] mkquist; get into system>appearance> advanced desktop effects settings then choose window borders.. make sure it is checked [03:20] thanks!

[03:23] pajamian, before I quit, can I use Gutsy live CD instead of Hardy? (I dont have a Hardy live-CD or even the upgrade CD or ISO file(I deleted it) [03:23] not sure what happened [03:23] ksbalaji: Yes, I believe so.

[04:27] all I can see is it fires up xmms [04:27] MrWizeGuy1983: ive heard people pushing for Ubuntu to use multiple partitions as you say (well, actually, even another one for /boot), but afaik, it didnt make it into hardy, and i dont even think intrepid [04:27] caseyjp, resulting in firefox just straight crashing ? and would that also conflict with my soundcard drivers too because sometimes if i have amarok or banshee open - and then play a youtube video without closing the media program, youtube AND amarok or banshee freezes, and sound wont work til i reboot [04:27] rustychicken, it uses 3 by default, one for swap one for / and one for /home [04:28] MrWizeGuy1983: same here.

And even when I manually chown of the folder to Bob on the samba share, it's still 'not mine' [04:37] FAJALOU: so, should i just hard power off my computer? [04:37] SeaPhor: no because I didn't put any.. [04:37] Prose: no force user: ? [04:38] rustychicken: unless you know a command to shut it off otherwise ;) [04:38] Prose, did you chmod the partition? [04:38] using gparted, I made some free space. Now I want to add the free space to root partition. gparted does not allow. Why? [04:38] keppi_: I don't know what that is [04:38] ksbalaji: we need more information then that: what is the error, are you doing it from the ocmputer? if you are you cannot enlarge the space if the drive is in use, you need to get a livecd and expand / from there [04:39] SeaPhor: well, I did nothing out of the ordinary with chmod on it === mRnAZ`` is now known as MrNaz [04:39] SeaPhor: I didn't chmod it 777 (even though that is the only thing that works). but chmod 777 doesn't change anything because I would have to do it for every folder I create/copu [04:40] copy [04:40] Prose: have you tried sudo chowning it? [04:40] I am doing gparted from the computer. How do I use gparted which is only in the computer /root and also use from liveCD? [04:40] Prose: who owns the file written?

[04:41] FAJALOU, gparted is only in the computer. liveCD does not have gparted. Or does it? [04:41] ksbalaji: livecd has gparted [04:41] then in the .conf, set umask to --EXAMPLE-- 022 (for a 755 permission) [04:41] ksbalaji: ya livecd does. [04:41] then in the .conf, set umask to --EXAMPLE-- 022 (for a 755 permission) Prose [04:42] rustychicken, I will check up. Thanks [04:42] All menus no longer appear on the screen after the failed installation of limewire..What should I do to restore the menu? [04:42] SeaPhor: does umask override chmod or something ? [04:43] SeaPhor: oh wait, I get what you're saying, sorry [04:43] Prose, umask sets default perms [04:43] SeaPhor: I forgot that you have to watch out for two permissions (system permissions and samba permissions) [04:44] Prose, and group and user [04:44] christ, alsa is a bitch to make [04:44] Does anybody know an icon theme you can coherently use under GNOME and some KDE applications??? [04:44] SeaPhor: so I should put umask = 022 in the [shareName] section ? [04:45] can someone help me out with secure ssh tunneling and VNC? I've done it before but it just doesn't seem to work now...I remember getting it right was a pain last time. [04:45] Prose, that was example only, but that would assume the chmod to be 755 [04:45] !ssh | tom_ [04:45] tom_: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [04:45] SeaPhor: that sounds like a fin chmod to me [04:45] FAJALOU: thanks [04:45] SeaPhor: I was also asking if the syntax is correct (umask = 022) [04:46] and prolly no spaces Prose [04:46] tom np [04:46] tom_: Put this in your ~/.ssh/config [04:46] putty also has a linux client. fyi. [04:46] tom_: oh, wait, you want putty? [04:46] Prose, but i am not sure on the syntax,,, man chmod and umask [04:46] there [04:47] SuperQ: yeah [04:47] My screen goes blank on my 8.04 LTS. Anybody could teach me to restore? [04:47] want ask about the ubuntu Synaptic Package Manager [04:47] SuperQ: I've done it before -- and I think it's right, but obviously it's not because it isn't working :-p [04:47] Could someone tell me if there is a way to totally disable a laptops internal speakers short of tearing into the laptop and unplugging them? I have a Sony Vaio, VGN-NR385E, and when i plug in head phones the internal speakers still broadcast. It is annoying and makes the laptop unusable in public if I want to hear web content [04:47] last time I installed a package from Synaptic Package Manager [04:47] tom_: so.. this situation: [04:47] mzuverink: there is a bios setting. If that doesn't work I think you can remove a package in ubuntu [04:47] tom_: You're on a windows box, and want to VNC over SSH to a linux machine [04:47] emman: what do you mean your screen goes blank? more info [04:48] SuperQ: correct [04:48] the package/application look occur error in the middle of installation [04:48] it infinitely looping [04:48] I a bit scare and panic [04:48] then I restart Ubuntu [04:48] After restart, I use back the Synaptic Package Manager [04:48] mzuverink: I had the same problem on a dell laptop...I don't remember what I did, but I removed something -- I'm pretty sure it was a package [04:48] hi guys...a little help needed [04:49] but it can't open already [04:49] got pop up warning saying that has a application is using it [04:49] 'lockinh" [04:49] tom_: Fairly easy, you want to do a "Source Port" 5900 [04:49] locking" [04:49] tom_: then Destination localhost:5900 [04:49] Hig lostogre! yes the screen is blank.

[04:49] tom_: then connect [04:49] Thank [04:50] SuperQ: I have source to 5900 and remote to 5901. then I open vnc and then click connect then localhost. it connects and nothing comes up. If I close my putty window it kills the vnc connection, so I think it's on the other side [04:50] emman: you want to load the whole program? you mean load ubuntu? [04:51] yes ubuntu program is not loaded....my screen is blank.. [04:51] SeaPhor: and taking out and restarting the server doesn't revert it back :( I broke it [04:51] Prose, is the share on a different box? if so, then you need to set up groups and be a member of the group on the other box, then set the chmod to 774, and umask to 003 [04:52] how is it? [04:52] emman: does it give any information? does the bios come up when you boot the machine? [04:52] SeaPhor: yeah, samba is on a server box on my LAN [04:52] fsloke: in terminal try dpkg --configure -a [04:53] tom_, Well if you think of the package that would be great, it is a new shiny laptop, came with Vista which I never even booted into but I am sure that it worked like it should have in that OS since they probably designed it to work with Vista. I am desperate to get this fixed as my classes start soon and i will be using it at school. So if you think of the package, let me know and Ill give it a try. Thanks [04:53] Prose, add your user to the server and make him a member of the froup,,, [04:53] lostogre: Yes the bios come up I boot up the machine. It goes blank right after I entered the password.

Ubuntu can't see the drives when they are running in IDE mode, but works fine when they are running in AHCI mode. Is there anything I can do about this on linux's side (gimping it? ;-)) [05:26] hey .. i jus discovered that have 3600+ error log files in my home folder on a week old ubuntu copy.. can someone look at this error and tell me what it is?

[05:32] wep [05:32] hi. can i edit my comments in launchpad? i can't find any option to do so [05:32] fez: alright, i'll walk you through it. first things first though - did you check to see if it's available through apt? that's genearlly a preferable way to install things [05:32] yeah [05:32] not there [05:32] bazhang are there? [05:32] fez_: okay. so, "tar xvf " will unzip it [05:32] pins, Ah, well good luck.. I'm still looking for an answer to that. [05:33] Thank you everyone!!!!

[05:33] yeah, you'll be able to see it but can't connect with wep.. [05:33] fez_: yeah? [05:33] I found something in the repository [05:33] is there a way to create a live/instalation cd from an existing instalation ? [05:33] A sock/ [05:33] ? [05:33] thanks for your help and suggestion [05:34] Gun_Smoke: how come i cannot see anything. [05:34] fez_: good. i've got it all typed, though, so shall i tell you anyway? [05:34] sure [05:34] anyone know anything about tunneling so that I can safely use vnc on the road? [05:34] Gun_Smoke: wlan0 No scan results [05:34] fez_: then cd into the directory, and run "./configure", followed by "make". when that's done (might take a while), then you're going to "sudo make install". thta'll work for the vast majority of stuff out there, though not all of it. [05:34] sudo iwlist scan wlan0 should give you something [05:34] sudo iwlist scan [05:34] eligos, some of them, with wine. check http://appdb.winehq.org/ for compatibility [05:34] let me try [05:35] iwlist: unknown command `wlan0' (check 'iwlist --help'). [05:35] fez_: stop before "sudo make install", then - better not to clutter up your system, hence the preference for apt packages [05:35] Gun_Smoke: tarwatirn1 ok, got some results now! [05:35] so doing it manually clutters up the system? [05:35] tarwatirn1, thanks for the correction. [05:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37616/ ????? someone??? [05:36] np [05:36] how is this different from installing from packages? [05:36] took me a while to figure that one out [05:36] Gun_Smoke: whats up with wep not working? built intentationally? [05:36] fez_: well, it's not easy to uninstall. with a dpkg, you just run "apt remove "; with a source install, you can't do that. basically, a package is all set up specifically for ubuntu. iti tells the system whwere it's putting everything, so you can upgrade or uninstall later using apt or dpkg [05:36] intentionally* [05:36] pins, seems to be a knows bug.. [05:36] I see. [05:37] cool then. [05:37] if i'm setting up my router so that I can tunnel vnc and/or ftp, all i have to do is forward one port on my router, right? [05:37] fez_: not that it's impossible to upgrade or uninstall with a manually compiled package; it's just less simple. [05:37] well thank you [05:37] great, now i have to go back to windows? [05:37] sudo make distclean [05:37] just the ssh port, right? which by default should be 22 [05:37] how do I get your name to come up like you do with mine? [05:38] pins, it is possible to set it up manually but I haven't had any luck with our card. a lot of different cards seem to work at the moment. Can you switch your encryption? [05:38] fez_: i'm just typing it in, but some irc clients do tab completion. [05:38] 'sudo make uninstall' will uninstall the compiled source [05:38] ismith: yo [05:38] hmm i just got a random spam pm from someone with the nick of TylerMeister00. about bras not being only for women [05:38] well. that works. [05:38] well thanks :D [05:38] now off to experimentation. [05:38] thebinz: good to know. still, depends on you keeping the source around, and it's not specifically maintained for ubuntu. a lazy admin is a smart admin. or is it the other way around? [05:39] Gun_Smoke: could, but i just rent a room in this house. Gonna have to run it by owner or switch to vista. :( [05:39] wep sucks anyhow [05:39] Hi - can I build a /usr/local on one machine and copy it to other machines, if the machines use different hardware including processor === Moth is now known as BlueOx [05:39] i installed ubuntu with alternate cd, command-line version. what packages do i need to hear audio? [05:40] hah, true that you do have to keep the source, but you could always download it at a later point in time if you want to uninstall. [05:40] i guess its just all up to the user [05:40] Gun Smoke, using a broadcom chip? [05:40] depends on it being available. *shrug*. like i said, it's not impossible. it's just nice eto let a package maintainer deal with those hassles [05:40] i like running the latests software, if it requires me to go through extra step to get it, then i will [05:41] besides, i like the interaction of compiling from source. It's fun. [05:42] it is a bit more fun, yeah. i suppose it all depends - i don't currently have a system that i can just play with, i'm more worried about keeping it running. [05:42] Hi - can I build a /usr/local on one machine and copy it to other machines, if the machines use different hardware including processor [05:42] ismith, VMWare? [05:42] can anyone help me?

[05:42] carthik: what do you mean by different processor? like intel/amd, 32/64, or x86/somethingelse [05:43] Gun_Smoke: i know wep sucks major #(*&#$ [05:43] fez_: it's not for lack of options. just ... my time is spent elsewhere.

[05:44] mp3 codecs [05:45] ifconfig give me nothing ....what is the tools that i need to apt-get????? [05:45] carthik: try just it with something that's quick to compile. if it works with one program it should work with most, unless something uses processor specific extensions, but most stuff doesnt [05:45] bazz, thanks, what's a sure way to know, or a reference, since /proc/cpuinfo (of course) gives me diff flags for the two processors? [05:45] If I reinstall my LTS 8.04 would it erase my data? [05:46] what are these 'gnu make extensions' ? and how can i install them? [05:46] Hey - any VirtualBox gurus in here?

[05:48] emman1, you gotta read that up - no magic button/tricks [05:48] leave [05:48] Zelbinian: did you download the package specific to your kernel? [05:48] thebinz: just doing apt-get in the console [05:49] I think so. It wouldn't let me install the wrong ones. [05:49] what is the command in terminal to make backups? [05:49] emman1, if your /home is on a seperate disk partition, it is easier, you can just preserve that partition [05:49] emman1: tar ? [05:49] Zelbinian: in terminal try 'uname -r' [05:49] naw.. I've been looking for a couple of days now on and off.. I just opened the network, and tomorrow I'll drop the on old PC only can do wep.

[05:59] Zelbinian: where did you install virtualbox from? [05:59] are there a lot of issues with ubuntu and wireless cards in laptops? [05:59] infexion: depends on the card [05:59] Add/Remove programs [05:59] So the Ubuntu package manager, essentially [05:59] Zelbinian: hmm I am using the deb from Sun's sight [05:59] Zelbinian: for some reason that one doesn't work for me either, I got mine from the website [06:00] Christ, I have to figure out VirtualBox AND how to manually install software? lol [06:00] Ok, I'll try downloading it from there. [06:00] it is a deb [06:00] jeeves__: have you tried an ip scanner? [06:00] tarwatirn1, any ideas? [06:00] tarwatirn1: Well I am trying to get the name of it but I am having troubles with it... I think the wireless card and the wired card are dukin it out because they both have the same mac says ifconfig [06:00] hmm [06:01] what packages do i need for sound in ubuntu? [06:01] sup homies [06:01] how can I visualize youtube videos?

[06:03] prob in the repos somewhere [06:03] i can't hear sound. i installed alsa-utils but still can't hear anything. [06:03] tarwatirn1: i try to create lean machine. [06:03] ok so how does one install a windows driver for a wireless card in linux? [06:04] I distinctly remember there being some sort of program [06:04] infexion: you dont [06:04] tarwatirn1: any idea how to get sound to work? [06:04] infexion: ndiswrapper [06:04] tarwatirn1: Thanks dude [06:04] utnubu_user: I guess you need to seach for "flash" and "mpe" in the snaptic packet manager .. appart from that I find personally that an article on zdnet about multimedia support in ubuntu is very informative/understandable.. [06:05] thebinz: so what is the tools in order to get the ifconfig to use?? is that net-tools?? [06:05] Any Dreamweaver experts and ubuntu apache? [06:05] what happens when you type in ifconfig? [06:05] owen1: its probably an issue with pulse not getting set up right. though your best bet is to try the regular install. if you *really* don't want to this might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [06:06] it doesnt reporet anything? does it say "command not found" [06:06] ifconfig should work as long as you have an active wired internet connection [06:06] joseph_cheah: try [06:06] ifconfig -a [06:06] if you have wireless then try 'iwconfig' [06:06] I am having a problem with fonts and the terminal. Everything appears to be bold, or heavily antialiased. A picture shown here: http://techsociety.ca/users:jeffd shows the options dialog displaying something totally different than what is displaying in the actual terminal. Any ideas? [06:07] have you tried changing the font? [06:07] tarwatirn1: ok. thanks [06:08] thebinz, tarwatirn1: The Sun installer told me this "Users of VirtualBox must be member of that group in order to have write permissions to /dev/vboxdrv. Otherwise starting of VMs will not be possible." [06:08] jdrake, are you running 'gnome-terminal'?

Note that a user who is [06:17] going to run VirtualBox must be member of that group. A user can be made member of [06:17] the group vboxusers through the GUI user/group management or at the command [06:17] line with [06:17] sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers username [06:17] tarwatirn1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Probably a file you can edit somewhere, though. [06:50] chn_boy: you dont use root account [06:50] pajamian: figured as much, jsut not sure where [06:50] dmsuperman_: what do you mean not in gnome? [06:50] tarwatirn1: i just removed proprietary driver [06:50] dmsuperman_: you might try looking in /etc/init.d [06:50] FAJALOU: I mean...I'm not in GNOME. I don't have an X session running yet [06:50] djhash : symantic or synaptic? [06:50] mps002: that's bootup, i want gnome login [06:51] dmsuperman_: hang on ... [06:51] s3a: I am not sure how the native tools work. I have an Nvidia card and the driver comes with a nice tool. [06:51] dmsuperman_: /etc/init.d/gdm start [06:51] dmsuperman_: I thought the login stuff was in there? [06:51] maybe sudo it [06:51] chetnick: I use it [06:51] jigp: synaptic.. lol.. [06:51] has anyone ever had issues with a harddrive that has a messed up cache? [06:51] i think that's what plages this WD drive.... [06:51] dmsuperman_: do you want to have programs run when you log in via a terminal (ssh, or console) command line, and not when you log into gnome? [06:51] djhash : done installaing it [06:51] it goes fast, slows down......craps out....shoots back up to fast and slows down again [06:51] chetnick: ouw.. there are some hidden files here [06:51] chetnick: yes I did [06:51] you are loging in as root? [06:51] chetnick: hehehehhee [06:52] is there a command to see the name of the latest USB device to be attached to the computer? [06:52] pajamian: no, I'm currently in command line, but I want to edit what starts with gnome [06:52] s3a: what about sys->prefs-> Screen Resolution? [06:52] jigp: if you try in browser "10.0.1.13:5800".. you'll be amazed [06:52] Crshman: that sounds like the drive has gone bad [06:52] pajamian: so I can't go to system -> prefs -> sessions [06:52] mps002, i'm just about certain it has....i'm trying to copy the data off =( [06:52] tarwatirn1: max listed=1280x1024 [06:52] chetnick: I follow the instructions and it's telling me: "you are not privileged to mount volume" [06:52] Crshman: good luck! I feel your pain, having killed about 8 harddrives in my lifetime [06:53] tarwatirn1: and 76hz refresh rate?? i thot it was spose to be 60hz [06:53] dmsuperman_: ok, sorry, don't know. Why don't you just wait until you can log into gnome and edit it there? [06:53] s3a: what is the max it is supposed to support? [06:53] djhash : RFB 003.008 still..no desktop [06:53] vmware workstation allows console and system variable controle from windows virtual machines ... try changing the keyboard demographic in the xp vm, shift ctrl alt winderz and many other alternate key adjusters will cause process termination ... good luck getting out of the password protected screen saver with out an unclean reboot .. just thought you should know since VMWare support refuses to support the issue ... [06:53] 19 something [06:53] pajamian: it's a learning process...i could do it that way but the more ways i learn to do something the more likely i'll be able to do something in case something else goes wrong [06:53] in other words my resolution (1680x1050) IS supported [06:53] dmsuperman_, do you have a ~/.gnome2/session file ? [06:53] gotta jet folks, good circuits to all! [06:53] it worked b4 [06:53] jigp:.. are you sure ur using port 5800 not 5900 [06:53] eligos: internal or external? [06:53] tarwatirn1: 19 something [06:53] unop, no [06:53] i use 5900 [06:53] what is the command to get the name of the last USB device connected? [06:53] dmsuperman_: I understand, I've often wondered myself, but have never been able to find it. [06:53] tarwatirn1: in other words my resolution (1680x1050) IS supported [06:54] s3a try reinstalling your driver for the video card... [06:54] tarwatirn1: it worked b4 [06:54] unop, nor a .gnome/session [06:54] djhash i tried 5800 and 5900 still not working..but if i use terminal it works [06:54] s3a: is it wide screen? [06:54] FAJALOU: how do i reinstall the open source driver that is installed from the ubuntu disc? [06:54] tarwatirn1: ya [06:54] s3a do you know the name of it? [06:54] Is this the help ch? [06:55] FAJALOU: of the video card? [06:55] no of the driver that was working. [06:55] jigp: using vncviewer u use port 5900... but in the browser you can use 5800.. (actually.. you might need to enable some settings on the other computer.. aahh forget it... you got it working.. if it works dont mess with it.. :-D ) [06:55] FAJALOU: well im assuming it was the radeon driver [06:55] tarwatirn1: internal [06:55] djhash : ok thanks ::) [06:55] dmsuperman_, I would assume in the absence of that file, the one at /usr/share/gnome/default.session is used instead [06:56] s3a can you just go to restricted drivers (system>administration>Hardware Drivers) and unclick the driver, and then reclick it? [06:56] * starwiz needs help with wireless :S [06:56] starwiz what is your card's chipset? [06:56] Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. [06:56] Im not completely sure [06:56] :| [06:56] s3a: Occasionally updates to proprietary drivers will make resolutio ns stop working. Usually it just doen't know it can do widescreen and replaces any wide modes with something else in xorg.conf [06:56] FAJALOU: i used envyng to add the restricted driver, but u gave me an idea, ill enable proprietary repositories, install the proprietary driver like that restart then untick and see how things go and if there is a problem i will be bak [06:56] djhash : why use java? [06:57] FAJALOU: does that sound reasonable? [06:57] s3a: so your original plan of editing that is a tryable [06:57] unop: I've made changes to what starts up, and those aren't reflected in default.session [06:57] how do i install a splash screen? [06:57] unop: so I imagine that's not it [06:57] s3a go for it :) [06:57] tarwatirn1: ill try my other idea first but if it doesnt work and i do this, if i ruin my install then i can solve it by reinstalling ubuntu right? i dont want to have to buy a new monitor [06:57] * starwiz 's problem is, he is using a broadcom, and he recently got it to detect wireless, but, now it just wont connect :@@ [06:57] s3a you could also go through envyng and try reinstalling them... [06:58] oh no [06:58] so you have internet.... [06:58] jigp: it is an alternative to using vncviewer.. if for example you are in an internet cafe.. using one of their computers and can't install vncviewer.. you can just point your browser to the ip and the other port.. and you'll connect using a java client program.. [06:58] FAJALOU: ya but envyng searches for proprietary [06:58] it is ok with a lcd [06:58] tarwatirn1: ok so wat do i do? [06:58] and as long as you don't mess with the hrtz too much [06:58] djhash : i see.. thats great :) [06:59] djhash : but i cannot copy the files remotely [06:59] so does anybody know where the gnome session file for startup apps is stored? [06:59] s3a: open a terminal then [06:59] sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:59] Help winxp print server via wifi - have set up printer and its verified eg smb://MSHOME/ALSMAIN/hppsc120 print test page, see data leaving Linux box, but nothing happens winxp end any suggestions? [06:59] * starwiz is wondering how he can check his wireless chipset, while on windows, as the ubuntu wireless will not connect. [06:59] tarwatirn1: then wat do i edit? [07:00] tarwatirn1: http://pastebin.com/d4c77fc28 [07:00] then hit the / key and type modeline ( is also called enter [07:00] hmm [07:01] Should add it adds each test job eg now its up to Job 8 so its being spooled somewhere [07:01] tarwatirn1: were do i type that? [07:01] jigp: unfortunately vncviewer/server doesn't have file access.. but you can install samba in your computer and share files with windows computers... [07:01] tarwatirn1: can u edit it for me and resend the pastebin cuz im scared of ruining it [07:01] s3a: are you using free or proprietary? [07:01] miten saan tohon istunnot kohtaan laitettua että se aukaisee ubuntun käynnityessä ohjelman avast *** [07:01] tarwatirn1: free atm but proprietary had good res working and open source did too a long time ago [07:01] dmsuperman_, this one perhaps ~/.config/autostart/ [07:02] !da | Oodo [07:02] Oodo: For at få support til Ubuntu på Dansk bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk. I denne kanal tales kun Engelsk. [07:02] me bad with my languages. [07:02] s3a: when did you change and is there a reason you are using free? === dextone is now known as De[X]tone [07:03] djhash : i see.. [07:03] dmsuperman_, or ~/.gnome2/session-manual [07:03] unop: yeah, just found it using lynx haha. thanks :D [07:03] eligos: what command are you using to mount it? [07:04] dmsuperman_, lynx? heh? [07:04] well i upgraded my mobo, cpu and ram and on my previous mobo cpu and ram, it crashed and then wen i moved to proprietary it dint crash by freezing (but for power reasons) but proprietary had weird framerate on things it should be able to handle so i wanted to test out open source again to see if it would work withouyt a problem with my new setup (i upgraded bcuz my cpu had serious overheating problems) [07:05] dmsuperman_: ./config/autostart [07:06] errrr .config, but you already found it I see. [07:06] Hmmm, is there a delay option for the gnome autostart stuff? [07:06] pajamian: yup, just found it a bit ago. thanks :D [07:06] /home/infexion/Downloads/ndiswrapper-1.53.tar.gz [07:06] sorry mt [07:06] tarwatirn1: lol wtf quick restart fixed my problem! [07:06] FAJALOU: quick restarting fixed my problem [07:06] s3a: I see [07:06] I goofed and installed xdm what do I need to do to get gdm to be my default login manager ? [07:06] hateball: not that I know of, but it is easy to write a wrapper shell script that will do that. [07:07] hateball, why would you like to delay gnome startup [07:07] s3a sometimes it does lol [07:07] s3a: had you restarted since moving to free? [07:07] amireldor: Not gnome, but autostart items ;) [07:07] tarwatirn1: thanks man ndiswrapper worked [07:07] hateball, oh, not that i know of [07:07] pajamian: Yeah thats how I currently do it. Just curious if there was a builtin way [07:07] infexion: np [07:07] tarwatirn1: lol i dont remember, i am very very sleepy atm [07:07] tarwatirn1: ntfs config utility [07:07] how can i start the samba cifs client? [07:08] hello. [07:08] FAJALOU, try smbclient [07:08] trikdo, hello [07:08] pajamian: Would be nice to just edit the .desktop file and add like... Delay=5s [07:08] s3a: yeah I know how makes changes while sleepy goes:) [07:08] tarwatirn1: i just mod my fstab file, I'll reboot to see if it worked [07:08] eligos: the ntfs-config utility enables write support [07:08] yeah [07:08] hateball: yes, but I don't know of any option like that, and probably not that many people need it and those that do would be smart enough to know how to do it with a script. [07:09] ive been searching the net the last five hours. anybody know the secret to configuring a touchpad in ubuntu? [07:09] FAJALOU, it's not a service, so you don't have to start it, just use it as and when needed [07:09] hateball: I think there is but even if there isn't you can always do something like make the command "bash -c "sleep 20; command" [07:09] What file decides if xdm or gdm is the login manager ??? [07:09] pajamian: Yeah but it means an extra file! :| [07:09] trikdo, it has something to do with xorg.conf unde /etc/X11/ [07:09] hateball: wow, one whole extra file. [07:09] Jordan_U: Yep.. thats what I do atm [07:10] pajamian: I just like things to be tidy :) [07:10] HAL9000, the presence of /etc/init.d/?dm [07:10] hateball, don't we all lol [07:10] How do I change what menu.lst grub loads? My GRUB is loading the one from my old OS's partition and I want it to load the one on my new partition [07:10] hehehe [07:10] hi [07:10] Zeroyez: change the default line [07:10] what's the default line have to do with anything? lol [07:11] Zeroyez: the default line defines which grub entry is run by default if you don't manually override it from the grub menu. [07:11] I want it to load a whole different menu.lst [07:11] Zeroyez, precisely what it means .. loading the kernel you've set as default [07:11] unop: I have an xdm and a gdm file, i'd like gdm back. Just don't want to get stuck with no login manager [07:11] Zeroyez: I would guess that you would re-install grub to the mbr / partition with: root(hd,) [07:11] HAL9000, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow gdm [07:11] Has anybody ever been able to configure a touchpad in Ubuntu? It seems as if Microsoft has linux beat right now [07:12] Zeroyez: ahhhh, sorry, I didn't understand the question. [07:12] unop: thanks ! I'll try that [07:12] trikdo: configure what? Mine worked perfectly out of the box.. [07:12] trikdo: May want to see if your touchpad is wacom type if it is google ubuntu wacom [07:12] Zeroyez: I thought you meant you wanted to change which entry from the menu.lst was loaded by default. [07:12] mine works well too [07:13] trikdo: it works automatically for me [07:13] Zeroyez: So if you want it to be installed to the mbr of the first drive and read the menu.lst from the second partition on the first drive it would be "root(hd0,1)" "setup (hd0)" ( but this is just from memory ) [07:13] trikdo: paste your xorg.conf to the pastebin [07:13] http://pastebin.com/d32e6929b I get an "illegal substitution" error on line 4, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? [07:13] So I would press e when grub loads and type root(sda4,4)? [07:14] num1_, you are using the wrong type of quotes there... ${} as opposed to $() [07:15] I don't want press to click to work. GSynaptics is supposed to have an option to disable this, but I can't get it to work. After looking thru UbuntuForums, it seems as if nobody can [07:15] unop: I figured it was something simple, many thank! [07:15] num1_, and don't use ls like that .. for i in *.mp3 is fine [07:15] !synaptics | trikdo [07:15] trikdo: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [07:16] It seems impossible to install a locale (en.US) on an Ubuntu server without dragging in a bunch of X11 packages and gimp? [07:16] WTF [07:16] anyhoooo my laptop has bigger issues. last week I found it no longer works with an external monitor, just hangs on boot. Today sound stopped working. no snd_ modules anywhere. how the hell did I manage to screw this up? have reinstalled kernel images and restricted modules, still don't have any (find /lib/modules | grep snd == nothing) [07:16] Lol [07:16] trikdo: GSynaptics will not work by default for security reasons, see the link from ubotu for setup instructions [07:16] num1_, infact you shouldn't use ls like that .. the script breaks when it encounters file with spaces or newlines in the filename [07:16] But everything works fine on a live boot [07:17] Hey everyone, is there a way to send and receive txt sms messages to a cell phone in Ubuntu 8.04 without using a cellphone hooked up to the pc? [07:17] num1_: just for i in *.mp3 will do the trick [07:17] unop, thanks a lot for the advice, I changd from { to ( and took out the unnecessary ls and everything works fine [07:17] num1_: no need for ls [07:17] ParaDoX34690: smssend I think.. [07:17] !info smssend [07:17] smssend (source: smssend): Utility to send SMS messages to GSM mobile phones. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.4-2ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 88 kB, installed size 692 kB [07:17] Jordan_U: those instructions do not work. at all. [07:18] zcat: is that an app i can install or is that a website? [07:18] you need to sign up with a provider though.. nobody does free sms anymore because all the spammers abuse it immediately [07:18] !paste [07:18] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:18] why am i getting this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/37639/ [07:18] num1_, and you should also quote what is in $() with double quotes .. i.e. echo "$(echo something)" [07:19] ParaDoX34690: it's a package you can install (apt-get install smssend) and it provides a text-based program you can run inside scripts or whatever. [07:19] trikdo: I take it you enabled SHMConfig. [07:19] zcat: oh... well, that certainly sucks... I know with Yahoo and MSN in Windows it's simple as hell, but I've had nothing but issues trying to find a way in ubuntu. [07:19] Uplink, "sara" is a program, and it's missing an expected config file ? [07:19] unop: I decided to quote with single quotes so if I modify in the future I won't have to worry about using special chars and having wierd things happen [07:19] milligan_, which one [07:20] Uplink, did you read the error? :) ./config/version.pl [07:20] ParaDoX34690: if msn or yahoo are providing free sms there might be a way to configure smssend to use that .. [07:20] milligan_, i ment how do i fix it [07:20] num1_, single quotes do not expand variables contained in them .. so you might be introducing new bugs into your program doing that [07:20] Uplink: you're missing a perl module, or the module is misspelled. [07:20] unop: Thanks again, worked perfect after a reboot. Would you mind posting that command again so I can save it for future reference? It doesn't appear in term history [07:20] HAL9000, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow gdm [07:21] Uplink, what kind of program is "sara" ? How did you install it ? [07:21] Thank you much ! [07:21] zcat: well, like I said, in windows they do... I can't get pidgin, kopete, or any of the other msn/yahoo wannabee apps to do so as well though... [07:21] milligan_, http://www.linux.com/articles/51230 [07:21] i've been searching on google but no options i've tried so far worked. i'm trying to get everything to work at a 1440x900 res. on my macbook pro. the desktop and login work at that res. but the boot screen and tty modes function at a fuzzy looking 1280x800. does anyone have a fix for me? [07:22] hi] [07:22] unop: I know, with either single quote or double quotes there's a chance of forgetting and having an error occur, but I forget less often with single quotes so I use those until I want to use a shell variable within the quotes [07:23] num1_, i'm not going to try and force you to use proper quotes, but if you want your script to work and work well 100% of the time, follow bash best practices [07:23] Uplink: more than likely a problem with the program you're running. Sorry, I'm not going to debug your program for you. [07:24] pajamian, can u tell me how to please? [07:24] When I try to start GSynaptics I get an error message telling me I have to have "SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf... Only problem is that I've already done that, and it's still not working [07:24] trikdo: Have you tried adding ( creating the section if needed ) Option "MaxTapTime" "0" to the synaptics section of your xorg.conf? [07:24] Uplink, as pajamian says, you might be missing a perl module. If not, you're missing some files that the application requires. I'd suggest you redownload, and reinstall. [07:24] num1_: want to pastebin what you changed it to? [07:24] milligan_, ty =] [07:25] not pleasant [07:25] trikdo: you can also set the parameters manually in Xorg.conf. man synaptics gives some useful info. [07:25] trikdo: did u restart xorg? [07:25] Uplink: I will tell you what the error means. there is a line in the program that requires a module (that should have been distributed with the program) the line would probably look like, "use config::version". Perl can't find that module anywhere. [07:25] trikdo: what ecaxtly do you want it to do? [07:25] pajamian, but i havent edited or messed with it =/ [07:25] Uplink: it's likely that you didn't install the program correctly. [07:25] tarwatirn1: I guess I just want push to click not to work [07:25] pajamian, it was working perfectly [07:26] by push click you mean touching the actual touchpad part? [07:26] Uplink, paste the contents of the script to the pastebin [07:26] Yes [07:26] Hold on, trying something... === De[X]tone is now known as dextone [07:26] unop, paste the what? [07:26] unop: I don't know how clear that script was to read, but it took mp3 files and parsed their filename into id3 tags. How do you suggest I convert all -'s in the filename to spaces? I'm at a loss [07:26] Uplink: then a file has gone missing. Look for the file: /usr/local/sara/config/version.pl [07:26] hello! how do i set system time in xfce? [07:26] D'Oh.. somehow I have uninstalled linux-generic metapackage so al my kernels since then are kernel-only, no matching modules or restricted-modules packages. Pure genius. I wonder how I managed that! [07:26] trikdo: paste xorg.conf into the pastebin [07:27] Uplink: I would simply re-install the program. [07:27] Uplink, cat /usr/local/sara/sara [07:27] ok... it was a pain in the butt to install sara tho lol [07:27] I'm always finding new and creative ways to screw up my system ;) [07:27] unop, there u go http://pastebin.com/f20200be9 [07:27] Still not working. :( [07:27] trikdo: paste xorg.conf into the pastebin [07:28] i have a rtl8101e pcı ethernet card, i had already installed the r8101 module and saw that eth0 is recognized at the dmesg but it is not up, what can i do or nay body had a same problem; [07:28] ogzy: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [07:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37643/ ?

[07:29] num1_, file="/foo/bar/with-hyphens-in-filename"; echo "${file//-/ }" [07:29] tarwatirn1, i had tried it didnt worked [07:29] tarwatirn1, ifconfig eth0 shows some info though [07:29] unop: thanks [07:29] Uplink, does the file /usr/local/sara/config/version.pl exist? [07:30] ogzy: what does it say? [07:30] tarwatirn1, ınvalıd argument [07:31] who have QQ [07:31] QQ who know:) [07:31] hey guys, what signal do i use to kill a runaway process? [07:32] unop, yes [07:32] uplink@HP-Pavilion:~$ sudo ls /usr/local/sara/config/ [07:32] ogzy what command? [07:32] BigBuddha: killall -9 appnamehere [07:32] BigBuddha: -9 will kill anything (with very few exceptions) [07:32] Any other suggestions? Does anybody know a way to just disable push to click touchpad without gsynaptics working? [07:32] fancyhan: this isn't an internet dating site, if you have a question, ask it here in the channel, don't go trolling for im friends. [07:32] Uplink, this ought to work then. cd /usr/local/sara/ && sudo perl ./sara [07:32] does anybody know how must be written the official sources.list for 8.04? Thank you [07:32] trikdo: Sorry, try section "InputDevice" rather than section "Synaptics" [07:32] Rat what is appnamhere [07:32] oh [07:32] nm [07:32] lol [07:32] tarwatirn1, ifconfig eth0 up [07:32] BigBuddha: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:32] What would the command be to find the PID of an application, and then kill it? For just one particular user, and if the name of the application is known. [07:32] who have QQ？？？ [07:33] hateball: pkill [07:33] i have windows xp running on another partition .. i recently installed ubuntu and seem to like it and wish to get rid of windows .. thing is its on the primary hdd thats partitioned . how do i remove the partition format the hdd and have it to boot from ubuntu all the time [07:33] hateball: ps aux | grep appname, then kill the pid [07:33] bmh: . Ubuntu 7.04's support will end in October 2008. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu#Ubuntu_7.04_.28Feisty_Fawn.29 [07:33] hateball, killall has a -u option that takes a username as an argument [07:33] unop, omg it works! wow ur a genious :D [07:34] Uplink, no, i'm just a perl user :) [07:34] unop, do i have to boot SARA like this everytime? :( [07:34] Uplink, no, just change directory [07:34] unop, huh? [07:34] thank god, it was using 44% of my processor, now we are back to 11%, thanks Rat409 [07:34] unop: why do you think the other command didn't work? perl is supposed to set the current dir to the program directory. [07:34] Daisuke_Laptop, Jordan_U, unop : I'll take a look at what's best for me, cheers [07:34] Uplink, like this. cd /usr/local/sara/ && sudo perl ./sara [07:35] unop, thats weird... but ok ty =D [07:35] Jordan_U: where at? === metong is now known as iyank4 [07:35] i am trying to see a vista computer from my ubuntu machine. It does not show up in the workgroup but if i manually type in the ip address (smb://192.168.1.101/users) i can see some files... how can i just get the vista machine to show up in network? [07:35] hey guys and gals! [07:35] pajamian, the script is looking for files relative to some directory .. but the directory containing $0 is not in @INC [07:36] FAJALOU: did you share something? [07:36] ogzy: what does ifconfig eth0 say? [07:36] adrian_2002ca: if i type in smb://192.168.1.101/users i can see files,,, why doesn't it just show up? [07:36] FAJALOU: same workgroup too? did you check? [07:36] FAJALOU: I just bookmark the share in nautilus when connected with smb//ip of vista/sharename [07:37] FAJALOU: it's finniky, I know because I've done this... [07:37] FAJALOU: if you have firestarter set up, allow broadcast traffic as well as the samba ports.. otherwise just wait, SMB is a weird protocol and machines can take 15 minutes to announce themselves to the master browser and start showing up. [07:37] whats the command to dns resolve for IPs? [07:37] like nslookup on windows [07:37] trikdo: like this is what he means http://paste.ubuntu.com/37647/ [07:37] Uplink, pajamian, if you ask me, this script was written by someone who doesn't know perl very well .. to fix the program i would introduce this at line #13. push @INC, '/usr/local/sara/' [07:37] adrian_2002ca: same work group yes [07:37] tarwatirn1, how many times are yo ugoing to ask this? i replied it: SIOCSIFFLAGS Invalid argument [07:37] trikdo: Maybe you missed my earlier comment, to disable tap clicking entirely add Option "MaxTapTime" "0" to section "InputDevice" in your xorg.conf ( create the section if it does not already exist ) [07:38] unop, should i write it? [07:38] zcat[1]: i do have firestarter; [07:38] unop: $0 is the program name, not the startup directory. [07:38] Uplink, host example.com [07:38] Uplink, yea, edit the file and add that line in [07:38] FAJALOU: ok...i don't know, rebooting somethimes helps...if not try just places network or connect to server [07:38] umm what about ifconfig with no arguments [07:38] unop, the sara script? line #13? [07:38] Uplink, or dig example.com if you need detail about the DNS request [07:38] pajamian, indeed .. but read what i said properly :) "directory containing $0 .. " [07:38] Bubulle, ty [07:38] zcat[1]: how can i set up what you sai? [07:39] ogzy, what does ifconfig show two entries or three [07:39] unop: ahhh, yes, I see what you're saying. [07:39] bazhang, just lo [07:39] FAJALOU: well, a common problem with SMB is that it uses broadcast packets for machines to announce themselves, and TCP for them to actually connect. If you enable the TCP ports but not broadcast trffic, you will see what you describe, you can connect by IP but the machine never shows up in the network browser [07:39] i have windows xp running on another partition .. i recently installed ubuntu and seem to like it and wish to get rid of windows .. thing is its on the primary hdd thats partitioned . how do i remove the partition format the hdd and have it to boot from ubuntu all the time [07:39] Uplink, yea, gksudo gedit /usr/local/sara/sara .. and add push @INC, '/usr/local/sara/'; just after line #12 [07:39] Bubulle, WTH!? how come when i type "host is-thatt-you.com" shows my loopback address? [07:39] bazhang, eth0 ıs not up the problem is that so i dont see it at ifconfig but ifconfig eth0 shows some output though [07:39] today (but not only today) update manager gives me 11 update to do. The problem is that it is proposing updates "not authenticated" on sw like : linux-image-2.6.4.22-generic, is it correct? [07:40] thank you [07:40] unop: it appears to me that the script is based on something very old, probably from perl 5.0 days. [07:40] ogzy, could you pastebin that if more than one line [07:40] ...or earlier [07:40] Uplink, you may not have DNS entryes in /etc/resolv.conf or not internet link up, so it default to the /etc/hosts file query [07:40] unop, i closed the link, whats after line #12 [07:40] bazhang: dude could ya help me with my issue ? [07:40] ogzy: did you prepend sudo to ifconfig eth0 up? [07:40] bazhang, which output do you need? [07:41] Vegombrei, what are you trying to do [07:41] pajamian, it's mandating the use of perl 5.8.1; .. though, it's written horribly wrong .. no use of strict and warnings [07:41] lonejack: That should only happen if you have added a third party repository without adding it's public key ( to ensure that you are downloading from who they claim to be ) [07:41] FAJALOU: in the firestarter preferences, 'advanced options' the default is to filter broadcast packets. Uncheck those options. [07:41] ogzy, whatever output you get related to ifconfig eth0 [07:41] Uplink, gksudo gedit /usr/local/sara/sara .. and add push @INC, '/usr/local/sara/'; just after line #12 [07:41] unop: yeah, good point, though the #! probably came from the installer. and I agree it's pretty bad. [07:42] tarwatirn1, if i didnt become root before ifconfig it wont give Invalid argument, it will say this should be run as root, so skip this sudo ifconfig eth0 up part, i tried it and it gave the error [07:42] zcat[1]: uncheck "block broadcasts from external networks" ? [07:42] bazhang, i wrote the output but, just one line and said Invalid argument [07:42] ooooo ok [07:42] ogzy, only works with sudo? [07:42] FAJALOU: yep. On a typical DSL or cable modem network your 'external network' is your LAN.. [07:42] Jordan_U: my only third party sw is: http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu [07:42] unop: oh, and you're referring to the require line for 5.8.1, I'm guessing the original version of it is old, but it's been updated to need 5.8.1 [07:42] pajamian, no, i didn't make the assumption based on the shebang but the require 5.8.1; on line 15 [07:42] bazhang, and at the dmesg i dont see any info message saying eth0 link is up [07:43] zcat[1]: but in this case it is the wlan network? [07:43] bazhang, i am runnign commands as root, i had written sudo su [07:43] FAJALOU: just uncheck both, it ought to be safe enough ;) [07:43] !traffic shapping [07:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:43] ogzy, sorry, I came in late; care to answer a couple of questions? [07:43] lonejack: Well that seems to have kernel packages, why did you add it? [07:43] !traffic [07:43] NOTICE - There is a lot of traffic in this channel at the moment. Please try to keep your sentences into a single message, avoid repeating the same question multiple times, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for pasting, remember to mention the nickname of the person you're addressing, and join #ubuntu-offtopic for anything that is not Ubuntu support. Thank you for understanding! [07:43] jigp, use firestarter [07:43] !qos [07:43] zcat[1]: PM? [07:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about qos [07:44] FAJALOU: no [07:44] unop, it looks like this now http://paste.ubuntu.com/37651/ [07:44] What's the best way to burn a system disk in K3b? [07:44] jigp, and /msg ubottu if you are looking [07:44] Uplink, yep, that's fine .. it should work now when called from anywhere [07:44] bazhang: my hardware consists two individual hdd's .. one 250 and one 80 .. both sata .. my 250 is primary drive .. which is partitioned one partition has xp and the other is just storage .. thing is i installed ubuntu on the secondary 80gb hdd .. now that ive been using ubuntu for almost a month i think i wanna get rid of windows .. so basically i wanna format the entire 250 but my issue is i think since ubuntu is on the secondary hdd will it boot ??? [07:44] unop, ty very very much buddy =] [07:44] Finnish: Do you mean a bootable disk? [07:44] Jordan_U: is not correct that repository? [07:44] OK, so I've tried both your suggestions and neither worked... Pretty much whatever I add, is not being recognized at all. Am I missing something? [07:45] bazhang im looking for CLI not gui [07:45] Jordan_U: I'm about to burn ubuntu image [07:45] Vegombrei, where is grub located [07:45] bazhang, ok what kind of answer do you need ? [07:45] FAJALOU: broadcast packets are pretty harmless, I wouldn't be too concerned about not filtering them even on a real-world interface anyhow.. [07:45] .iso [07:45] Jordan_U: do I have to remove it? === lordfdisk is now known as LordFDisk [07:45] Finnish: Just burn the iso, it'll be bootable [07:45] Vegombrei, ie on the mbr of the first disk? [07:45] Ok [07:45] Vegombrei, formatting or repartitionning the primary disk wont kill the Grub boot loader. [07:45] zcat[1]: ok... so in policies, should i just enable any packets from 192.168.1.101? [07:45] bazhang: whats grub [07:45] Vegombrei, the bootloader for linux/ubuntu [07:46] FAJALOU: yes, or from the whole 192.168.0.0/16 range if you want.. [07:46] !grub > Vegombrei [07:46] Vegombrei, please see my private message [07:46] ogzy, this is for ethernet right? what chipset on that [07:47] how do i find my computer's mac address? [07:47] zcat[1]: in policies how can i allow any connection from 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.105? [07:47] lonejack: I am not sure, I don't know what the purpose of that repo is, but if you don't know why you added it it probably don't need it ( but you shouldn't just go around adding random repos in the first place ) [07:47] molecule: ls -hw [07:47] Vegombrei, is the 250gb internal? perhaps you may wish to save whatever files you have from windows before doing anything else [07:47] ty [07:47] my firewall allows everything from 0/0 .. I only installed firestarter cos I'm too lazy to set up nAT by hand ;) [07:47] ...this is straight up not working! It's as if my computer's mind is set and I can not change it! [07:47] zcat[1]: but still... in policies how can i allow any connection from 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.105? [07:48] jigp, then use iptables for cli [07:48] molecule, ethernet interfaces have MAC addresses, ifconfig eth0 will show you eth0 mac address [07:48] Jordan_U: right. I removed it. Now no now update are proposed. [07:48] bazhang: yes.. both hdd's internal ... the 80 gb is dedicated to ubuntu .. when i was installing it i told the installer to use the entire drive .. [07:48] Jordan_U: thank you [07:48] molecule: lshw * [07:48] ls -hw didnt work [07:48] unop, http://paste.ubuntu.com/37654/ [07:48] oh ty [07:48] welcome [07:48] policy / inbound allow from 192.168.0.0/16 should be pretty safe [07:48] lonejack: np [07:48] im a friends house and he blocks internet by mac address. so i should give him my computer's right? [07:48] Hi, I'm only available to access my apache server on my LAN, not the broader Internet [07:49] zcat[1]: what does that do? [07:49] any idea why? [07:49] trikdo: anytime you change xorg.conf a logout/login is required for changes to apply [07:49] Vegombrei: ? [07:49] sagredo: you probably have to forward port 80 from your router. [07:49] i've been searching on google but no options i've tried so far worked. i'm trying to get everything to work at a 1440x900 res. on my macbook pro. the desktop and login work at that res. but the boot screen and tty modes function at a fuzzy looking 1280x800. does anyone have a fix for me? [07:49] pajamian: that sounds right, thanks [07:49] Is it possible that I'm not supposed to be using Synaptics?? [07:50] FAJALOU: allowes the whole range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.254.254 -- they're non-routable addresses so you should never see any traffic in that range except from inside your LAN [07:50] bazhang, RTL8101E is the ethernet cards chipset [07:50] molecule, yes, usually mac address filtering is used on wireless, si you may check the MAC address of the wlan0 interface if this is the case. If you connect by ethernet wire, check the mack address of the eth0 interface. The command is ifconfig interface [07:50] trikdo: if you've an alps touchpad i guess [07:50] zcat[1]: ok thank you. [07:50] trikdo:!laptops [07:50] ogzy, did it ever work, or just stopped working recently [07:50] !laptop [07:50] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [07:51] hmm, gotta reboot and see if I have sound modules now [07:51] does anyone know how I can delete an overlapping partition? [07:51] zcat[1]: but what if someone hacks our network (doubt it it's wpa psk2 but still) would they have access to my files? [07:51] Bubulle: thank you [07:52] bazhang, it is a fresh installed netbook so just trying to make it run [07:52] trikdo: You can find lists of laptops tested on those links. Just type !laptop should you need to see those in the future [07:52] FAJALOU: only if they hack your computer as well. [07:52] Jordan_U: "MaxTapTime" didn't work either... if you didn't catch on... :'( [07:52] bazhang, the probelm is related with this chipset not a common ethernet card issue i think have you experienced probelm with this chipset? [07:53] molecule, if smart enough, your friend could have got your MAC address from any packet you send, even if blocked :) [07:53] trikdo: Odd [07:53] pajamian: thank you for putting my fears to rest :) [07:54] what does gnome use to automount devices? pmount? [07:54] hoho [07:54] parted won't work because it's complaining I have an overlapping partition, how can I get rid of it then? [07:54] ogzy, which netbook? please tell me make and model [07:54] woot, sound again! [07:55] bazhang, an atom based netbook [07:55] Oops, wrong kernel version. no vbox-ose drivers for -21 [07:55] Ridiculous, how do I disable touchpad completely? [07:55] indeed25, fdisk may fix it gracefully, it is a cmdline terminal tool [07:55] ogzy, what exact make and model [07:55] trikdo: probably Fn-F7 or something... [07:56] hi! when i use the PDF option in the print dialog, where are the pdf files saved? i can't find it. [07:56] bazhang, doesnt matter indeed but the current kernel is 2.6.24-19-lpia [07:56] trikdo: depends on the laptop .. [07:56] ogzy, okay; good luck then. [07:57] hi people I'm having some problems [07:57] with this find command [07:57] !explain [07:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about explain [07:57] find / -name error_log -exec tail \-1 {} \> {} \; === lzy--_ is now known as lzy-- [07:58] I'm trying to clean this in one shot [07:58] any idea ? [07:58] costal79: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:58] how can i find out what my old samba password is? i don't ever remember setting one !! [07:58] Ubuntu cannot handle a simple touchpad. Microsoft 1 Linux 0 [07:58] FAJALOU: just press enter? [07:59] tried that.... [07:59] Ubuntu 1, trikdo 0 .. [07:59] oi... i love that everything is just so black and white for some people [07:59] sudo doesn't work either? [07:59] !dkms [07:59] DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. [07:59] FAJALOU, samba users and passwords are un sync of the users on the ubuntu box. If not in sync, use smbpaswd user to reset it to a new one [07:59] trikdo: Did you check !laptop for your make/model lots of people use ubuntu on lappys [08:00] It works out of the box, no drivers required. He wants it to work _less_. We tell him how. wtf? [08:00] trikdo oh he left [08:00] !lirc [08:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about lirc [08:00] Hi [08:00] clever please /msg ubottu [08:00] DOH oh well [08:00] I'm trying to access my VNC from outside my network... How can I tell what ports to open? [08:00] bazhang: just getting 2 links atm, enless you know more about lirc [08:01] clever /msg ubottu info nameofpackage [08:01] how many times can I use the {} in the -exec option in the find command ? [08:01] bazhang: that doesnt tell me crap about how to fix it:P [08:01] clever, then ask us [08:01] anyhow, on my laptop there's a little blue 'finger on touchpad' icon on the F7 key.. If I hold the blue Fn key and press F7 it toggles the touchpad on and off. Works prefectly in Ubuntu. Always has. [08:02] bazhang: dkms appears to have complied lirc_seria.ko for me but the module wont work [08:02] clever, or get a better irc client [08:02] bazhang: how is my irc client messing things up:P [08:02] sagredo: You may need to do some portmapping at the router first if your attempt aren't going through [08:02] If he'd stuck around I might have told him that, but I don't think he really wanted to know. [08:02] sagredo, very insecure to open VNC to the outside. You can do it with NAT, not recommanded. Prefer ssh tunnel to local VNC ports, or better, use NX (freenx and nxclient) from nomachine. Much btter responsiveness though internet links with low speed, much secure because it tunnel through ssh out of the box. [08:03] zcat[1] tell him when he returns [08:03] Anyone feel like helping me with a proftpd server? It seems to hang after a user types in the username and login [08:03] bazhang: 'if' [08:04] ajhtiredwolf: using commandline ftp client? [08:04] clever, what about using xchat ; does that give you issues? you need to describe what problems lirc is giving you === eric is now known as Guest73970 [08:04] ajhtiredwolf, you need to have a look at active ftp though nat (google gives plenty of examples). Or tells your users to use passive FTP connexions. [08:04] bazhang: i can send ir codes thru lirc and see the ir led blinking with a camera but the cable box no longer responds to the code [08:04] FTP is so 1990's .. use scp already! [08:04] alistair_: any success? [08:05] or "sftp" [08:05] clever, aha, my mistake sorry [08:05] filezilla's a decent frontend for it [08:05] ladyfantasy, rsync rules :) [08:05] 'windows users' is no excuse either.. winscp handles scp and sftp beautifully [08:05] getting offtopic here [08:05] ladyfantasy, tried connecting through browser and gftp [08:05] and on top, winscp is better than most FTP programs on windows [08:06] Bubulle, nahh, im not able to connect locally [08:06] zcat[1]: but winscp sucks an oddly high ammount of cpu and because of that gets poor transfer rates over 100mbit [08:06] dfs a [08:06] actually I wouldn't mine a program like winscp for Linux too! [08:06] ajhtiredwolf: yeah, you can test if it's the active/passive firewall issue with the commandline client... just load it up, type "passive" at the ftp> prompt, then connect [08:06] 运 [08:06] 晕了 [08:06] clever: encryption overhead? or more than that? [08:06] zym /join #ubuntu-cn [08:06] wow, my terminal actually displayed that [08:07] zym: english pls, , [08:07] no chinese. [08:07] 你们有人会中文马 [08:07] zcat[1]: that doesnt explain why scp on linux uses much less cpu and goes much faster [08:07] !cn [08:07] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:07] how do i type 运 ? [08:07] Kelen: it looks japanese to me [08:07] clever: Have you tried standard scp via cygwin? [08:07] !jp [08:07] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [08:07] its chinese [08:07] Jordan_U: not lately, cygwin is hard to uninstall [08:07] zym english here [08:07] why my compture can not work [08:08] zym for chinese, /join #ubuntu-cn [08:08] Jordan_U: i just use plain ftp or samba to bypass the problem [08:08] zym, nice english [08:08] ari_stress, not appropriate. [08:08] ladyfantasy, i checked, in gftp it is set to passive, what would be the command to connect in the terminal? [08:08] hello [08:08] Is that possible for Evolution running on backgroup ? Anyone knows ? [08:08] bazhang: sorry, reflecs [08:08] ari_stress: nice sarcasim [08:08] sorry.. [08:08] ajhtiredwolf: just "ftp" [08:08] zym, please give more info [08:09] clever: I hope you mean plain sftp :) [08:09] question -- does anybody know a way to hide the ugly anchors on the side of bars in gnome when you don't have them expand across the entire screen? [08:10] i have 64bit ubuntu running as application in windows and right after the boot screen it brings up abnormal exit 1566 and goes to a cmd line of (initramfs), i have tried CTRL+Alt+F7 and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and ni=either worked wat is wrong [08:10] Jordan_U: its over my own private lan so i just get rid of all encryption [08:10] if i want to use QQ have a chat with my friends ,what can i do?everyone know? [08:10] in commandline ftp type 'passv' to switch to passwive mode usually.. or 'help' [08:10] !info eva [08:10] eva (source: eva): a KDE IM client using Tencent QQ's protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.9+svn20080215-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2746 kB, installed size 6088 kB [08:10] Jordan_U: encryption 100mbit/sec is hard on the cpu in winscp, but anything at normal dsl speeds has no trouble encrypting [08:10] zym, try eva [08:11] hey, is that possible for evolution running in back group just monitor email receive..? [08:11] Cool.. never even heard of qq and ubuntu already has support for it ;) [08:11] ladyfantasy, well actually hang on a second, this is something new it hasnt dont before, is tarted it up and it said /etc/shutmsg present: all incoming connections will be refused. [08:11] ladyfantasy, obviously that is a problem [08:11] Kelen: yes by minimizing it [08:11] heh, yeah [08:11] ari_stress: How to to it? [08:11] ladyfantasy, are you familiar with proftpd? [08:12] Kelen: klik on the 'line' icon on the top right corner of the windows, near the box and cross icon [08:12] i am, for the most part. try restarting the proftp service on the server if you can [08:13] ajhtiredwolf: failing that, try /etc/init.d/proftpd resume [08:13] Kelen: evolution has 2 close options on File menu.. Close windos ctr-Q and Quit ctrl-Q [08:13] hi, if upon entering my username and password I am stuck with a beige screen, what exactly does that mean? [08:14] harej: gdm isn't loading [08:14] Kelen: if you close evolution through the X button (close button for all windows), it will just close the window, not the program.. It'll stay in the background monitoring. [08:14] i have 64bit ubuntu running as application in windows and right after the boot screen it brings up abnormal exit 1566 and goes to a cmd line of (initramfs), i have tried CTRL+Alt+F7 and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and neither worked wat is wrong [08:14] FAJALOU, what'd be the best way of rectifying it? [08:15] speedtutrle, this is wubi? [08:15] ladyfantasy, wasnt a valid option, did force-start [08:15] harej: was it working before hand? [08:15] ladyfantasy, hmm that didnt appaer to do anything [08:15] harej: It probably means that there is a problem with compiz, try pressing alt+f2 ( brings up a run dialog, you won't be able to see it ) and type "metacity --replace" then hit enter, alternately you can log in with a failsafe gnome session from the drop down menu at the login screen [08:15] bazhang: wat you mean wubi [08:15] I really need help.. do anyone know how to recover files from a formated JFS partition??

[08:16] i'm not sure where your proftpd sets its root [08:16] ladyfantasy, let me look second [08:16] totem works though [08:16] Jordan_U, what will "metacity --replace" do [08:16] how do i know the flashplayer is install or not,i tried to install but still cannot watch video on youtube [08:17] harej: it will replace compiz-fusion with metacity [08:17] coregan, check about: plugins in ff [08:17] ladyfantasy, it is in /etc/ [08:17] harej: It will replace compiz ( the 3D snazzy window manager ) with metacity ( the boring more reliable WM ) [08:17] okay, but I am still stuck with the beige screen [08:17] I really need help.. do anyone know how to recover files from a formated JFS partition??

[08:18] then type about:robots [08:18] :D [08:18] harej: are you using the snazzy compiz fusion or metacity? [08:18] FAJALOU, I don't know. [08:18] ajhtiredwolf: after you delete /etc/shutmsg, you might (or might not) need to restart proftpd (/etc/init.d/proftpd restart) [08:18] ari_stress: hey, dude, there is nothing icon like evolution to click. is that any wrong with me? [08:18] it's probably compiz fusion [08:18] harej: could you do cool stuff like have 4 desktops in a cube etc etc. [08:18] because i've noticed some vista-like things about it [08:18] ajhtiredwolf: but don't do a "force" though [08:18] with all the neat transitions [08:19] how things fade, etc [08:19] is that compiz fusion? [08:19] harej: Yes [08:19] bnalohim, what is the jfs? now or under windows [08:19] and it worked before? [08:19] windows [08:19] harej: Since it was working before you are probably having a driver problem, but switching to metacity should still get you a usable desktop [08:20] hi [08:20] ladyfantasy, hmm now i seem to have a new problem, one second [08:20] Sometimes Ubuntu crashes, I checked dmesg and found "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 13093 [08:20] [ 178.691314] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 52368", I got a lot of this message [08:20] !paste | hacked_kernel [08:20] hacked_kernel: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[08:21] bnalohim, I'm aware of that; what fs was used for windows, and what did you replace it with [08:21] having trouble with CGi apache ubuntu hardy [08:21] ladyfantasy, yeah [08:21] ok [08:21] localhot says it work [08:21] ladyfantasy, hmm something is wrong, it says that port is in use, and it definately shouldnt be [08:21] but *.pl is not [08:21] hemanth, dont repeat so often [08:21] how can i use something such as *.Exe for ubuntu [08:22] bazhang, ok sorry [08:22] hemanth: please keep everything in one line so it's all there to read, thanks. [08:22] ajhtiredwolf: do you have any other ftp server software installed? like vsftpd maybe? [08:22] zym, via wine [08:22] ladyfantasy, nope [08:22] bazhang, i thought they might have over read [08:22] bazhang: for windows it was used ntfs.. the problemm was thet i replace my JFS with NTFS and i need a few files that were in my JFS [08:22] ladyfantasy, never mind found the problem [08:22] ladyfantasy, it failed to stop the instance before when i rebooted it, was trying to make a new instance on top of it [08:22] ah [08:23] yeah, sounds like an unclean previous shutdown is why the /etc/shutmsg got left behind [08:23] harej: Have you tried starting with a failsafe session or running "metacity --replace" ? [08:23] bnalohim, you used windows to format? not sure about how they do it. [08:23] ladyfantasy, still have the problem of people not being able to connect [08:23] Jordan_U, I tried that metacity --replace and it did nothing [08:23] harej: what did you try it in? [08:23] ajhtiredwolf: and you're in terminal ftp? [08:23] bazhang: I used a Windows uE cd.. doing a quick format [08:24] FAJALOU: I suggested that he use alt+f2 to bring up a run dialog [08:24] ajhtiredwolf: try doing "ftp localhost" on the server and see if that works [08:24] bnalohim, what types of files [08:24] ahh ok, harej did a run dialog come up? [08:24] bazhang: text files [08:24] FAJALOU, he said it would be invisible [08:24] ladyfantasy, lol where is the connect command? [08:24] bnalohim, no backups of any kind? [08:25] ladyfantasy, i put in passive now im looking how to connect [08:25] harej: Ok, when you log in there is a menu ( labeled options? ) at the bottom left, from there you should be able to choose a failsafe gnome session [08:25] oh, sorry... just type "o " [08:25] Jordan_U, except my optinos are Select Language, Select Session, Remote Login via XDMCP, Restart, Shut Down, Suspend, and Hibernate [08:25] bazhang: I had a backup of most of the disk.. but im missing my mother recent files..and they are important [08:25] "o" for "open" [08:25] harej: It's under select session [08:25] ladyfantasy, connection refuse, should i use my local ip? 192.168.0.* [08:26] ajhtiredwolf: try logging into the server itself and then type "ftp localhost" on that machine [08:26] bazhang: I need to recover less than 200 mb.... is there any way to do it?? [08:26] for all users of touchpads (synaptics driver) the circular scrolling option is jus too cool [08:26] Hi :) I'm trying to run the script called "porn-get" but when I write: "./porn-get install lesbian" as a test it outputs: "ifstream::ifstream (2 No such file or directory)" Anyone able to help me? Maybe someone have a newer version? [08:26] harej: Once you get logged in you can try to figure out what caused compiz to break and fix it or disable it permanently in System -> Preferences -> Appearance [08:26] bnalohim, you may wish to hear from responses on forums; a format in Ubuntu normally means they are gone. perhaps ask in ##windows about that ue item as well [08:26] Thank you, Jordan_U. I am pretty sure the problem is from a screwed up upgrade. [08:27] eax, that is not appropriate here. [08:27] eax, cute. [08:27] Jordan_U, now that I have access to a prompt, what should I do to repair the installation? [08:27] ladyfantasy, i dont believe i can connect to it from this machine, it is being hosted on this machine [08:28] bazhang: I see what you mean. But where is it appropriate then? It's "basically" a changed version of apt? [08:28] ajhtiredwolf: you should certainly be able to connect to the ftp server on the same host that's running it [08:28] harej: Ahh, you chose failsafe terminal? [08:28] not here. eax [08:28] i am working on setting up a workgroup between linux and a vista machine. I am now sharing a folder from ubuntu to vista, but when i try to see all the files in vista from ubuntu, i have to manually type smb://192.168.1.101/users or something of the sort. how can i make all of down (192.168.1.101) show up when i go to smb://down instead of having to navigate farther? [08:28] !ot | eax [08:28] eax: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:28] ladyfantasy, it hangs when i type in o [08:28] yes Jordan_U, and upon that I got quite the error messages (something about a missing HAL), and I want to fix things === faff is now known as faff_18 [08:28] hmmm [08:28] i sloved it [08:29] how would i fully customize my ubuntu? there's stuff running in the bg that i'm pretty sure i don't need and my ultimate goal is to off those processes. [08:29] bazhang: The format taked less than one minute so I suppose no ceros where written and I imagine the files are still somehow there.. I expleain it bether here http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=331 if anyone is able to help.. please, I realy need it [08:29] ajhtiredwolf: you're missing what i'm saying. login to the same machine that's running the ftp server, and at the command prompt, just type "ftp localhost". it should present you with a login for ftp. [08:29] when i say login, i mean via ssh, not ftp [08:29] or console [08:29] harej: You said something about an upgrade, did you just upgrade from another version or just got some updates? [08:29] test [08:29] ladyfantasy, my mistake, but it says connection refused [08:30] evilbug: for that, I suggest to run another distro. Ubuntu wasn't meant for that, and there are others (like gentoo and arch) that are built just for it. [08:30] hmm... [08:30] Jordan_U, a version upgrade. I think the problem is rectifying now. [08:30] ajhtiredwolf: ps -ef | grep [f]tp <- does that show it running? [08:30] bazhang: sorry this is my threat http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=890453 in ubuntu forums [08:30] tuna- that's what i was thinking... would you go arch or slack? [08:30] arch [08:30] thanks. [08:30] tuna evilbug please take chat elsewhere [08:31] ladyfantasy, yeah, i see it, proftp [08:31] ladyfantasy, it says that it is accepting connections [08:31] well, you shouldn't be getting a connect refused from the same host. check your log files [08:31] harej: Was there any error during the upgrade? Even if there wasn't running this can't hurt ( it will try to continue a failed upgrade if possible, does nothing otherwise ) "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [08:31] unless you have some crazy firewall rules on that host [08:32] Jordan_U, that's exactly what I am doing now. I figured that out serendipitously. [08:32] ladyfantasy, well with the command i use, if it was to even try and connect, it would show in the termanl window where proftpd is running, but it is doing nothing [08:32] i am working on setting up a workgroup between linux and a vista machine. I am now sharing a folder from ubuntu to vista, but when i try to see all the files in vista from ubuntu, i have to manually type smb://192.168.1.101/users or something of the sort. how can i make all of down (192.168.1.101) show up when i go to smb://down instead of having to navigate farther? (note the folder that i am trying to navigate to is shared so sh [08:32] ladyfantasy, whne people tried to connect before, it would show them trying to connect, and get all the way up until user and pass verfication, after that it would hang [08:33] harej: If it's taking more than a fraction of a second to complete then your upgrade didn't finish :) [08:33] ladyfantasy, do you kno where are the proftpd log files located? [08:33] ajhtiredwolf: well... i'm kind of at a loss then. maybe clear any firewall rules in case something's broken there... ("iptables -F") and try again, but i doubt that's the case. [08:34] ajhtiredwolf: usually in /var/log [08:34] Jordan_U, nope. It always freezes on generating locales. Like, it ostensibly stops [08:34] ajhtiredwolf: check /var/log/messages and anything else that appears to be related to ftp. [08:34] I actually had this problem on my last install as well [08:35] harej, this is feisty to gutsy to hardy or gutsy to hardy only [08:35] how do I start XFCE? [08:35] bazhang, beg your pardon? [08:35] the login manager [08:35] i've only ever installed proftp from source, never from package, so maybe ubuntu has some needed tweaks to the configuration... may want to review proftpd documentation [08:35] Zeroyez, choose in login window in session [08:35] ladyfantasy, unfortunately I have already reviewed as much as physically possible :P [08:35] bazhang, oh, the new version. i forgot what it's called [08:35] the locales hang harej ; what upgrade path [08:35] ladyfantasy, nothing related to ftp in messages [08:36] and how would I do that [08:36] I'm asking how to start the xfce login manager [08:36] Zeroyez, get to login window then choose in session [08:36] ladyfantasy, there is a proftpd folder but the log file is empty [08:36] login window, where's that? [08:36] there isn't an xfce login manager. there's xdm though which I think xubuntu uses [08:36] interesting [08:36] so I have to install gdm? [08:37] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ; sudo /etc/init.d/xdm start [08:37] harej: Gahh, they still havn't fixed that bug. To complete your upgrade reboot ( sudo reboot ) then press escape when grub comes up so you get a menu, choose the second recovery option from the top ( which will be the fourth line down, you need to boot into your previous kernel and there is a regular and recovery mode for each kernel ) and when prompted choose "Fix packages" ( or whatever the option is, it just runs "dpkg --configu [08:37] ajhtiredwolf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 maybe this will help, i don't know [08:37] somewhere in the X config there's a preferred login manager setting too. [08:37] harej, he's got it [08:37] Jordan_U, should i ctrl+c out of the current upgrade? [08:37] ladyfantasy, i actually used that thread to install it [08:38] harej: If it's hanging at generating locales then yes [08:38] ajhtiredwolf ok... let me try something... hang on a few minutes [08:38] harej, it will hang forever [08:38] ladyfantasy, no problemo, thanks [08:38] it is actually 'hanging' though.. generating locales takes ages, but it's still doing stuff usually [08:38] zcat[1], not in this case [08:38] Jordan_U, see, I thought it was taking a long time, so I left it alone and then the computer got turned off somehow [08:38] ahh, ok [08:39] i'm setting up an older system with ubuntu, using icewm. does anyone know if i can use nm-applet as a networkmanager front end on it? [08:39] Anyone with 804 on toshiba m200 tablet ? Trying to get the stylus working but the older fiesty/edgy howtos are a no go [08:39] i am working on setting up a workgroup between linux and a vista machine. I am now sharing a folder from ubuntu to vista, but when i try to see all the files in vista from ubuntu, i have to manually type smb://192.168.1.101/users or something of the sort. how can i make all of down (192.168.1.101) show up when i go to smb://down instead of having to navigate farther? (note the folder that i am trying to navigate to is shared so sh [08:39] geek_, without gnome? [08:40] bazhang: i tried gnome on it. its rather slow [08:40] geek_, I mean nm-applet without gnome? highly unlikely [08:40] bazhang: well is there a DE independant way of doing it? [08:41] harej: It'll never complete, it's a bug that I thought they would have fixed by now https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/249340 it's kind of embarrassing :) [08:41] ajhtiredwolf: well.. i just installed proftpd via synaptic, tested it, and it works fine... maybe deinstall/reinstall [08:41] Launchpad bug 249340 in linux-source-2.6.22 "Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef" [High,In progress] [08:41] Guys, if I update Firefox 3 after initiall install I cannot any longer set the desktop wallpaper using the browser, has anyone else had this problem?

[08:41] I'm having trouble installing mplayer "The following packages have unmet dependencies: mplayer: Depends: libdirectfb-0.9-25 but it is not installable" [08:41] ajhtiredwolf: and,t here should be /var/log/proftpd [08:41] bazhang: er.. its for a windows user, so... i think its better i have some simple gui for it [08:41] ladyfantasy, correct, but the log file for proftpd just shows the start up, shut down, not accepting incoming connections [08:42] brb [08:42] ladyfantasy, just shows the info that it gives me in the terminal when starting and stopping it [08:42] geek_, with icewm for a windows user? [08:42] yeah, that's why i'm saying just remove and reinstall it... perhaps something got broken in the configs [08:42] bazhang: er.. any better ideas? [08:42] backup your /etc/proftpd directory first [08:42] ladyfantasy, apt-get remove proftpd sufficient? [08:42] i suppose [08:43] * geek_ was thinking icewm/fxe . not decided what to do for browser yet [08:43] Anyone know the repository [08:43] well.. it looks like apt-get remove proftpd does NOT clean up config files [08:43] geek_: have you considered xfce? === jigpe is now known as jigp [08:43] bazhang: well, from what i remembered it was CDE like [08:43] Anyone know the repository I need to add to install libdirectfb-0-25?

[08:44] im trying to install mplayer [08:44] harej, caps [08:44] had problems installing audacious too [08:44] ome_, lets see your sources.list [08:45] harej: It will take a long time when it does work, but it should finish as long as you booted into the previous kernel [08:45] Jordan_U, it was the second option from the top on the list [08:45] harej, you did choose the previous kernel, right? [08:45] ...crap. [08:45] * harej pulls the plug [08:46] ladyfantasy, when reinstalling it asked me if i would like to keep my current proftpd.conf, whatcha think? might as well? [08:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37663/ [08:46] harej: Fourth option from the top :) [08:46] ajhtiredwolf: no, replace it... backup what you have first, but replace it [08:46] thanks jordan [08:47] ome_, you used ultamatix? [08:47] yah, that bad news? [08:47] ome_, time for a reinstall. [08:47] tends to be [08:47] !ultamatix | ome_ [08:47] ome_: ultamatix is not supported by Ubuntu.

I am now sharing a folder from ubuntu to vista, but when i try to see all the files in vista from ubuntu, i have to manually type smb://192.168.1.101/users or something of the sort. how can i make all of down (192.168.1.101) show up when i go to smb://down instead of having to navigate farther?

[08:48] bazhang: they managed to make it WORSE? o0 is that even possible? ;p [08:48] thanks for info bazhang [08:48] Jordan_U: cause people are too lazy to add one or two useful repos? ;p [08:48] Jordan_U, the same folks who brought us ubuntu "ultimate" [08:48] ajhtiredwolf: now /etc/init.d/proftpd stop and start [08:48] ome_, next time no need for that [08:49] hi all. I have ubuntu8.04 32 bit (altough i could use a 64 bit, as my cpu is), and a strange problem. Actually, it sometimes decides to fail opening some sort of application, such as firefox (expecially when requesting a page with flash animations), eyeofGnome, terminal (it opens the windows, but not the content)... is there any package broken, any driver badly installed .... !? it happens since some days ago, my lapto [08:49] ome_, seriously, it is not needed in any way shape or form [08:49] I just thought it would be like automatix [08:49] ome_, it is. [08:49] havsnt been useful in any way [08:49] In a bad way [08:49] ome_: That's the problem :) [08:49] aye [08:49] automatix installed alot of wine apps [08:49] ladyfantasy, what on earth... it just keeps sayting ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd. [08:49] oh... [08:50] quatar-it: try a memtest ? [08:50] hmm... there's an option to install it to either listen via inetd or as a standalone program. [08:50] i've always run it standalone [08:50] So you serious about reinstall? or know any trick to undo? [08:50] hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 desktop on a virtualbox guest running on a ubuntu 8.04 x64 host with a phenom cpu. I cant get it to install unless I set up virtualbox to use IO APIC, which I'd rather not use because it's supposed to slow down the machine. Is there a way I can specify to the kernel to not need that at boot time? [08:50] zcat[1]: is that one which starts durin the OS launch (routine check of devices...)? [08:50] ladyfantasy, hang on [08:50] ladyfantasy, i think i remember how [08:50] ome_, yes. the damage is serious. [08:51] ladyfantasy, i believe its in that config i replaed [08:51] hey--how do i open ports in ubuntu? i can't access my websites cpanel because it doesn't use port 80 [08:51] quatar-it: yep.. first thing I do for weirdness like that is memtest for an hour or two.. very often that's the problem. [08:51] well, nit very often but sometimes.. and quite easy to rule out before ou go reinstalling and stuff. [08:51] ome_: Automatix screw one of mine up back in the day.... wouldn't touch with a 10 ft pole ever again [08:51] ladyfantasy, well this isnt good, /etc/prfotpd.conf doesnt exist now [08:51] zcat[1]: how can i force an extraordinary one? [$> memtest] ? [08:52] ajhtiredwolf: it should be in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf [08:52] is there a list of kernel boot command line options somewhere? [08:52] ladyfantasy, ugh, it named it proftpdold never mind [08:52] quatar-it: memtest runs as long as you let it.. an hour is about as short as I'd go. Overnight is not a bad idea. You can leave it running for a week if you want.. [08:52] ok [08:52] I spent so much time customizing everything. Can I install in a form of upgrade so I keep all my files and settings? [08:53] dahlia: i think you need to use the noapic cheat code [08:53] Jordan_U, despite reverting to the previous kernel it appears I still have to use the failsafe setting. Is this normal?

[08:53] ladyfantasy, ok there we go, started [08:53] ome_, back up your files then reinstall [08:53] ty, looking... :) [08:53] quatar-it: ohhh.. sorry, not fsck, memtest, the bottom option on the grub menu (you might need to press at boottime to see the grub menu) [08:53] ome: it messes up so many things I dunno if you could find them all [08:53] harej: Yes, until you run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ( it will take a while, but should finish this time :) [08:53] zcat[1]: i don't want to know how to let it last for long, ..i want to know how to let that start! [08:53] Jordan_U, why will it work this time? [08:54] ladyfantasy, same thing when i did ftp localhost, connection refused [08:54] Guys, if I update Firefox 3 after initiall install I cannot any longer set the desktop wallpaper using the browser, has anyone else had this problem?

[08:54] quatar-it: reboot, wait for grub to say 'press esc for options' and press esc.. last option on the menu is memtest+ ... [08:54] well, ajhtiredwolf - i have to say i'm at a loss then. [08:55] i've never run into this [08:55] i am working on setting up a workgroup between linux and a vista machine. I am now sharing a folder from ubuntu to vista, but when i try to see all the files in vista from ubuntu, i have to manually type smb://192.168.1.101/users or something of the sort. how can i make all of down (192.168.1.101) show up when i go to smb://down instead of having to navigate farther? (note the folder that i am trying to navigate to is shared so sh [08:55] <_hase> So I'm trying to install a PCMCIA card with four USB ports...and after I plugged it it lspci recognizes it, but none of the things i've plugged into the usb ports are working [08:55] 'cos it does sound a bit like faulty memory.. although it could be something else [08:55] harej: I am not sure of the details but the localedef command does not work with the current hardy kernel, but does work with earlier kernels, but it only needs to be run once and will set everything up to work with the most recent kernel as well [08:55] ladyfantasy, could i see your config? it seems to have automatically reverted back to my old one when i switched to standalone [08:56] ladyfantasy, wait, what should servername be set to? [08:56] ajhtiredwolf: when i installed it, i didn't modify any configs at all.. .it just ran [08:57] ladyfantasy, it wont give me a default config [08:57] hey i am new to ubuntu when i try to enable visual effects i get a desktop effects could not be enabled please help me :) [08:57] ajhtiredwolf: i set it up to run as "standalone", not from xinetd. it was an option when installing it via synaptic... i'm not handy enough with apt-get to know what to do with that yet [08:57] ladyfantasy, it went back to my old config, it replaced the inted one but not the standalone, i guess because it defaults to inetd [08:57] lawrencep93: what is your videocard? [08:58] Just a generic intel one [08:58] ladyfantasy, it gives that option the first time installed, but it didnt this time [08:58] ooo... [08:58] Hi, how do i delete files from garbage bin (ubuntu 8.04) They stay there even after saying they are gone! [08:58] if you go into system>administration>hardware drivers... do you see anything?

[08:58] ok... if you remove it via synaptic, there's an option to do a "complete" removal... which should blow away all the config files, etc... i don't know the equivalent apt-get command to do that, but maybe you should try that [08:58] HAL9000: thank you.

[08:59] <_hase> Ok, so when I run lsusb it shows a total of six ports, with nothing plugged into any of them, so i know the computer is able to see the pcmcia card, what do i need to do to get it to recognize the devices i'm trying to plug in [08:59] ladyfantasy, gotcha let me try that [08:59] Jordan_U: thanks [08:59] ajhtiredwolf: try what Jordan_U suggested [08:59] looks like noapic nolapic works :) thanks all :) [08:59] i tried iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2089 -j ACCEPT [08:59] well they should thats what i head [08:59] but it's not working i think [09:00] heard [09:00] _hase, what sort of devices [09:00] <_hase> a mouse, mp3 player [09:00] lawrencep93: Can you pastebin the output from "compiz --replace" ( I think that your specific card may be blacklisted as having problems with compiz ) [09:00] _hase in my experience some devices dont like to be connected to hubs [09:00] im realy sorry but how do you do that?

[09:04] ladyfantasy, no proble, i still REALLY appreciate your help [09:04] ajhtiredwolf: yeah, i recall that it does, but it's been years since i had to run proftp [09:04] ajhtiredwolf: no problem - glad it worked [09:04] I need help setting up Nessus [09:04] ladyfantasy, well the thing it, the default user is proftpd and group nogroup [09:05] dumbdum: go into your console and type sudo root [09:05] ladyfantasy, so it seems like the username should be proftpd [09:05] dumbdum: try with sudo [09:05] ajhtiredwolf: Remember that a chroot in and of itself is NOT a security measure and is not meant to be [09:05] FAJALOU: belive so I just use the smb ip method [09:05] Yay! Everything is back to normal. Now I can do what I wandered over to my Ubuntu box for to begin with! [09:05] ladyfantasy, that you have to log in with [09:05] thank you #ubuntu! [09:05] dumbdum: sudo rm /file [09:05] ajhtiredwolf: no, proftpd is the user that the server process should be running as [09:05] infexion, not good advice [09:05] Jordan_U, hmmm but if you dont want users to be able to browse all the pc's files how else would you do it? [09:05] ladyfantasy, ahhh I see, so you have to create other users seperatly? [09:06] FAJALOU: If i remember right wins resolves netbios names to ip's , someone correct me if wrong plz [09:06] dumbdum: I am sorry sudo bash not root [09:06] ajhtiredwolf: every user that you want to login to the ftp server will need an account, yes. unless you set it up for anonymous ftp [09:06] infexion: umm. sudo -i might be safer... [09:06] hai [09:06] dumdum: sudo nautilus then empty those files [09:07] ok what now? [09:07] ladyfantasy, darn, then that is almost the same as using ssh2 [09:07] HAL9000, gksudo but dangerous [09:07] ajhtiredwolf: There are a few ways, in fact the next version of Ubuntu will have a "guest login" option which does exactly that using AppArmor policies [09:07] dumbdum: the safest why would be to "sudo rm " [09:07] way [09:07] HAL9000: i think this is more of a windows problem,,, seems how i can see the files, but they are just not browseable, but in 7.10 i think i could browse the downstairs computer... [09:07] "guest login"? hmm... [09:07] this is not enabled by default, i hope... [09:08] Jordan_U, well basically all im trying to do, is setup a user account that a few of my friends and family can upload and download from, but obviously i dont want them to browse all over my pc [09:08] I personaly preffer mc for removing files especialy directory trees [09:08] and its a lot faster than nautilus [09:08] ajhtiredwolf: you have to add an entry for that user in the proftp config someplace (I forget where) and specify what you want the "root" path to be.. [09:08] how to compile dwm? [09:08] ajhtiredwolf: they will not be able to cd .. below that path [09:08] Jordan_U, ladyfantasy the problem is all the have to do is type / in the directory list which is easy for an idiot to figure out :p [09:08] <_hase> I have a pcmcia usb adaptor, and ubuntu picks it up but not anything i plug into it, what can i do? [09:09] ladyfantasy, i do see that option [09:09] FAJALOU: Been there and gave up long ago lol , i seem to recall it working best in 704 [09:09] hmmm ok... [09:09] ladyfantasy, it is default root ~ [09:09] dumbdum: put in cd ~/.local/share/Trash/files [09:09] ajhtiredwolf: then that's all you need to do... you have to restart proftpd once you add it, i think... then if they type cd /, they can't get to your real root [09:09] it's weird b/c /down/public is set on share, but /down/users is not and i can go to both lol [09:10] ajhtiredwolf: if you're security-minded, try vsftpd [09:10] ladyfantasy, so all i need to do is create another user in users and groups and people should be able to login to it through the ftp? [09:10] yes [09:10] ladyfantasy, i am actually, i worry about opening up my pc this much [09:10] Hello everybody [09:10] ladyfantasy, i am kinda confused actually, how is this ftp even running when i did not open the port that it is running on? [09:11] ajhtiredwolf: well, if you're security-minded that much, then you shouldn't be using ftp at all :) [09:11] FAJALOU: May try asking in #samba also [09:11] Could somebody please help me? I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 but whenever i run it my video gets all messed [09:11] ajhtiredwolf: by running it, you "open" the port [09:11] ladyfantasy, file sharing programs like msn are too slow for large files [09:11] i have just installed imagemagick from source but when i run montage it gives me the error "error while loading shared libraries: not found". i think its because my system is not looking for shared libs in /usr/local/lib, is there a way to fix this? [09:11] ajhtiredwolf: well, i would recommend using sftp [09:11] ladyfantasy, shouldnt only the router only have that option? [09:12] HAL9000: ok. [09:12] ladyfantasy, is that just ssl? or ssh... i get them confused haha [09:12] ssh [09:12] ajhtiredwolf: sftp is ssh... filezilla is a nice GUI-based client that will handle it [09:12] ajhtiredwolf, like lady said use sftp or rsync for file transfer [09:12] ladyfantasy, ah yeah that is what i used before, unforatunely in order to chroot with that is a HUGE task [09:13] ajhtiredwolf: and if by router, you mean firewall, then no. the firewall can be set to block access to that port, but it doesn't have anything to do with what's running as a listening service [09:13] ladyfantasy, hmm that is interesting and kinda unnerving hah [09:13] why is it not possible to update the virtualbox-ose moduls? 2 machines have errors if i klick on update at adept [09:14] ladyfantasy, it seems kinda funny, you would think that by default when you create a user they should not be able to browse the entire computer [09:14] ajhtiredwolf: the firewall can still block access to the service [09:14] ajhtiredwolf: and that depends on the software you install :) [09:14] i need help plz [09:14] Could somebody please help me? I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 but whenever i run it my video gets all messed [09:15] Chousuke, well in ubuntu when you create a user although they can't modify fiels outside of their home they can still view them [09:15] ajhtiredwolf: unix is fairly open in terms of security, but if you don't want someone else getting into your home directory, then just reset the permissions on it so only you have access (chmod 700 /home/) [09:15] Elven2, try doing an update [09:15] ajhtiredwolf, the firewall only blocks acess to ports what is running on those ports is non of it buissnes you can run httpd on port 21 if you want [09:15] !ask > executionist [09:15] executionist, please see my private message [09:15] ajhtiredwolf: of course. [09:15] ajhtiredwolf: they need to be able to view them [09:15] Elven2: Is the video ok in the live cd ? [09:15] Chousuke, certain users do, but not all [09:15] keram I just finished downloading/installing it, it is up to date [09:16] how to compile dwm? [09:16] Chousuke, users that are meant to perform as little as one task p [09:16] HAL9000 good question, i can try, what could i do if it runs normally from the live cd? [09:16] ajhtiredwolf: they need to be able to view them [09:16] eh [09:16] uup [09:16] oops* [09:16] Chousuke: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:17] ajhtiredwolf: anyway... most *interactive* users need access outside their /home [09:17] ladyfantasy, I will look around on trying to lock the users in their directory, thank you so much for helping me out on this that was very nice of you [09:17] how are y'all today? [09:17] anyone know how to fix that shared library error i mentioned earlier? [09:17] ajhtiredwolf: not a problem [09:17] Chousuke, interactive yeah :p, but when they just need to upload/download that isn't necessary [09:17] ajhtiredwolf: actually, no: all do :) [09:17] i just installed ubuntu, after that i installed nividia drivers with EnvyNG. but there was a box in hardware drivers that were saying something about my drivers wwhich i clicked and installed. now the thing is i am stuck with 640x480 resolution. i tried installing nvidia drivers with EnvyNG but still. i am stuck with this resolution [09:17] ajhtiredwolf: well true. [09:17] ajhtiredwolf: but you didn't specify that :) [09:17] Chousuke, like well come on its implied when im setting up an ftp :P [09:18] Elven2: if so look @ the xorg.conf settings and compare to the xorg.conf on your harddrive, you'll need to mount the hdd and look @ /etx/X11/xorg.conf [09:18] keram: add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig [09:18] executionist, are you sure your nvidia drivers are running ? sounds to me you are in vesa mode [09:18] HAL9000 Oh thank you, i'll try doing it [09:18] executionist, from my experience if you are using a somewhat new nvidia card all you need to do is install nvidia-settings and you can use that to configure everything [09:18] i am a noob, installed ubuntu yesterday, i am not sure of that [09:18] Elven2: Its saved me a time or 2 [09:18] score, thanks! [09:18] Hmmm this is kinda troubling, the ftp starts when the computer starts, do you know how to disable that? [09:19] but i can see nividia control panel in system> adminiistration === PhQu- is now known as PhQu [09:19] <_hase> Is there someway that my pcmcia card could be disabled? [09:19] Oh wait a second [09:19] Crap [09:19] ajhtiredwolf, ftp server? 'sudo /etc/init.d/ftpd stop' or something along those lines [09:19] executionist, and when you run it ? [09:19] ajhtiredwolf: you can use update-rd.c [09:20] ajhtiredwolf: see the manual on specifics. [09:20] keram, that will stop it after its been executed but wont prvent it from starting when the pc starrts [09:20] hmmmm.. how do I make qtwengophone go via pulseaudio rather than access ALSA directly? [09:20] er [09:20] Chousuke, I think that I actually havent made progress on this haha [09:20] i see the config screen and everything. but the highest i can select is 640x480, and it goes as lo as 320x240 [09:20] update-rc.d [09:20] Chousuke, I think I can ONLY connect to this ftp locally [09:20] keram: did that fix? [09:20] ajhtiredwolf: well then something is blocking access to the port :) [09:21] ajhtiredwolf: you may need to configure a port forward in your router. [09:21] Chousuke, I can open the port manually [09:21] Chousuke, but that isnt the problem [09:21] score, yep, i always forget how to fix that damn error. this time i am writing it down :] [09:22] executionist, when you go to screen 0 does it detect your card properly ? [09:22] Chousuke, well reguardless of that, do you know if by default will users connect in passive mode? [09:22] how to configure (ifconfig) ? there are no returns after i type ifconfig in terminal [09:22] executionist, under the GPU part [09:22] yes [09:23] nvidia FX 5500 [09:23] joseph_cheah, ifconfig eth0 up [09:23] it is detecting it properly [09:23] ajhtiredwolf: I don't even know what ftp software you're using so I can't comment on the defaults (and I can't even if I knew, really :/) [09:23] or ifconfig wlan0 up or whatever [09:23] ajhtiredwolf: isn't passive mode a client side choice anyway? [09:24] executionist, ok go under system administration, system log [09:24] Chousuke, no problem. It just seems like its common when both users are behin routers [09:24] Hello! I noticed today that I cannot do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to text mode… any command to switch? [09:24] k [09:24] executionist, and select X.org.log [09:24] ajhtiredwolf: you can use active mode if you add a port forward. [09:24] Chousuke, in allot of programs i know that it trys passive after active doesnt work [09:24] done [09:24] I think i have corrupted grub on my machine when ive installed ubuntu on my usb-stick. Can i and if i can hvow do i fix it on my machine? Ive started the machine in the livecd now... [09:25] Chousuke, I think passive mode is still fast so long as its just one user, passive mode means that the load goes entirely on the server rigth? [09:25] executionist, there will be a lot there, first scan for any eroors [09:25] ajhtiredwolf: I don't know any specifics, I don't use FTP :/ [09:25] RandyboY, run grub from console [09:25] Chousuke, im pretty sure thats what happens, which would be fine, I think its only a problem for large servers [09:25] and google reinstall grub [09:25] how to compile dwm? [09:26] well there is alot there, and its hard so i have to scroll right every single line [09:26] oobe, from he livecd? [09:26] RandyboY, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [09:26] the [09:26] oobe, thanks :) [09:27] executionist, if there is an error its starts with Error: or Err: or something like that [09:27] RandyboY, i used to use that link all the time comes up in google 2nd hit for grub reinstall ubunru [09:27] ajhtiredwolf: afaik passive mode only means the client inititates all connections.. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html [09:27] going to bed all, thank you HAL9000 Jordan_U bazhang and anyone else i forgot to mention!!! [09:27] on the left side [09:27] UnionPivo there are no errors [09:27] if anyone wants to work on a problem here is one for you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5592945#post5592945 [09:28] ajhtiredwolf: the "load" is the same in both setups.. the server still sends the packages to the client.. no difference there [09:28] executionist, ok then go to section that starts with (II)NVIDIA ... or something similar [09:28] Slart, hmm ive always been told that passive mode is slower [09:28] Slart, is that true? [09:28] ajhtiredwolf: I can't see a reason for it to be slower [09:29] i see alot of (II) 's here [09:29] executionist, can you copy paste thet section down tyo some pasty service ? [09:29] Slart, well in passive mode i upload about 5k [09:30] Slart, with a direct connection and the port opened i upload at 400k [09:30] executionist, or just copy paste everything [09:30] oobe, second command into the thread didnt work ;) grub> find /boot/grub/stabgel ---> Error 15: File not found [09:30] ajhtiredwolf: everything else is the same? [09:30] how would I go about disabling an integrated video card? I believe it is interfering with the other card I am using, preventing resolution changes. [09:30] paste here? [09:30] Slart, yep, this is my experience on DC++ and AMSN [09:30] hi [09:30] whitedox, the easiet/best way is in bios [09:31] where to paste it UnionPivo [09:31] although the amsn version available to ubuntu doesnt work right now so cant test it :-P [09:31] RandyboY, how many hard drives and partitions do you have maybe you should mount you root partition first [09:31] ajhtiredwolf: ehh.. are we still talking about ftp? [09:31] how do i add more memory to linux [09:31] Slart, well ftp should be the same [09:31] Alright thanks. I will come back with results I guess. [09:31] Slart, or at least i think so? Maybe not [09:31] ajhtiredwolf: I'm talking about passive ftp transfers..nothing else [09:31] ajhtiredwolf: no.. very no.. very very no [09:31] executionist, go to pastey.net or similar [09:32] Slart, oh I assumed that they were the same, that is where im getting confused :p [09:32] ajhtiredwolf: DC++ uses other mechanisms.. and amsn a third kind [09:32] Hi, how do I play swf files? [09:32] oobe, i have one hdd with some partitions. one of them with ubuntu and one with XP and some dell utilities and stuff... [09:32] LFjob, vlc [09:32] Slart, oh I see. ah well, if they are both equally good then great, i wont worry about changing anything [09:32] ajhtiredwolf: in amsn passive mode means you send everything to the amsn server which then sends it to the other person [09:32] bazhang, ok thanks. [09:32] Slart, ah yeah that would make sense as to why it is so much slower [09:33] Slart, hey do you know if you can specify just ONE application to a port that you opeend? it seems kinda risky to just completely open a port [09:33] ajhtiredwolf: in dc++ passive mode ... well.. iirc it should be the same as ftp (even though it doesn't use the ftp protocol) [09:34] Hi, ubuntu 8.04 seems to be getting slower by the minute, apps are not opening or are taking a long time. Any help appreciated. [09:34] anyone know how to keep a button from going to a new line every time in html (form button i guess) [09:34] err [09:34] wrong channel [09:34] how do I start the ssh service? [09:34] ajhtiredwolf: I don't think you can do that in any easy way.. what application are you opening a port for? [09:34] from the menu system? [09:34] dumbdum, did you recently install something? [09:34] dumbdum, are you sure its not some indexing ? [09:34] Slart, just the ftp, thats really all I have in mind right now [09:34] dumbdum, open a terminal and type top to see what is using memory [09:35] Firefox wont open at all, nor will anything else. No I didnt install anything. [09:35] I just installed VLC, it doesn't play swf files. [09:35] ajhtiredwolf: well, make sure you use a sensible ftp server, configure it correctly and it shouldn't be a problem.. google for chroot if you want to add some extra security [09:35] Konsole wont open.

[10:57] i have to install 8.04 [10:57] or its better on gutsy [10:57] Pentarex: which is why the hardy version of skype wont work for you. The gutsy version will, or you can install Hardy. Yep. [10:57] monia: Go to System > Preferences > Appearance [10:57] monia: open them managed and drop them / drag and drop into theme manager [10:57] Pentarex: it works fine on gutsy. [10:57] Greetings Earthlings! [10:57] Pentarex: Hardy is probably a better bet [10:58] Pentarex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [10:58] Pentarex: but yes, gutsy will work just fine. But if its a fresh install, I'd go with Hardy [10:58] just go back and do the instructions for gutsy [10:58] timoguin: He doesn't need that [10:58] is there an Alarm app in ubuntu? === enzo_5 is now known as enzo [10:58] Flannel: he has gutsy install. why would we tell him to install hardy if he just wants skype? [10:58] *installed [10:59] timoguin: From what it sounds like, he *just* installed gutsy, and did so by mistake. [10:59] so guys can you help me how to use irc in ubuntu [10:59] monia: your using it [10:59] opps [10:59] mu91t: your using it [11:00] is there task organizer with alarms in Ubuntu? [11:00] hi, i have ubuntu hardy Servers all with software Raid1 (normal CD-Installation). when i turn off the server and pull off a disk, it keeps dropping me to BusyBox after powerOn. [11:00] ikonia: giving him the benefit of doubt, he could be on another box ;p [11:00] geek_: thats all he has to say [11:00] carrera: yes in the mail client, evolution mail [11:00] Hi any idea why after installing User Profile Editor (a.k.a. sabayon) i could not any more add user using user Settings? [11:00] the only solutions i found are from users, and there are several different approches -like 100lines of shellscript placed inside of initramfs [11:00] ikonia: ahh [11:01] Flannel: ok i find 8.04 after install i will come back '_ [11:01] ;) [11:01] I am using ubuntu 8.04 how can i install something [11:01] mu91t: open synaptic package manager [11:01] can't use Ubuntu with raid1 on servers at the moment because they won't recover themselves from HDD crashes [11:01] after I add the user seem that its not registering in my system [11:01] mu91t: search for the package, then click install [11:01] Thanks Ziroday, any simpler/lighter app for just organizing tasks? [11:01] Flannel: and hardy isn hard eh :P [11:01] Pentarex: Nope [11:01] mu91t: ....... "sudo apt-get install here_the_name_of_what_you_want_install" [11:01] mu91t, you can also use the Add/Remove from the Applications menu [11:01] mu91t: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [11:01] carrera: erm I am sure there is some in the repos, you might want to take a look at orage or rainlender [11:01] ikonia: Its not listed in the package manager [11:01] Pentarex: just save that site and use those same instructions after you get hardy installed. [11:01] mu91t: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/index.html [11:02] Ziroday, awesome, thanks dude [11:02] mu91t: that url will explain to you how to use the package manager [11:02] carrera: but I don't know if they do alarms [11:02] mu91t, you asked about "something", you need to be more specific ;) [11:02] Ziroday, i'll take a look [11:02] ikonia: thanks [11:03] joaopinto: i want to install a package which is not listed in package manager [11:03] mu91t: which package [11:03] mu91t, which package ? [11:03] Gday all.... [11:03] Howdy goldenaussie [11:03] How are you all doing? [11:03] raid1 in ubuntu does not self-recover after a disk-failure - do u guys know about an official patch? or how do u solve this? [11:03] Hope you guys/gals dont mind me joining? [11:03] mettler: what do you mean self recover [11:04] goldenaussie: We're all doing fine, nope, don't mind, but if you're looking to chat, we ask you do that in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:04] pull off a disk an boot [11:04] mettler: if a disk fails, the box carries on - no problem [11:04] Ziroday, fyi: Orage provides alerts based on dates [11:04] joaopinto: its irc client and gnome mplayer [11:04] system should come up by itself with only one disk [11:04] carrera: sweet [11:04] mu91t, gnome mplayer is available from the repositories [11:04] mu91t: you have been told 5 times how to install gnome player [11:04] no, it does not - it drops me to busybox [11:04] make sure you have the proper repositories enabled [11:04] mu91t, which irc client ? [11:04] hardy/gutsy cd install with raid1 on two disks [11:04] Ziroday, Orage "is highly configurable and supports alerts based on dates. It warns you with popup or audio alarm. As it is an application kind-of every day use it launches itself in the background as a daemon." [11:04] driving me mad [11:05] mettler: boot from the livecd, mount the disk and check what lines your grub setup is pointing at [11:05] joaopinto: sudo apt get command shows an error [11:05] carrera: thanks [11:05] mettler: that happens if grub is not installed correctly [11:05] mu91t: no it didn't [11:05] mu91t: you didn't type it as you where told to [11:05] !universe | mu91t [11:05] mu91t: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [11:05] Ziroday, welcome [11:05] you must enable the universe repository, check the instructions from ubottu [11:05] Hello, everyone. [11:05] I have a problem with my Frostwire. [11:05] joaopinto: Universe is enabled by default on Hardy [11:06] ikonia it was installed by the hardy CD, and i've spend the last ~3month with grub setups - finally found out that there is a bug in ubuntu raid1 - but was posted 2007 [11:06] Flannel, I dont know which distro he is using, I just know universe is not enabled on it's configuration, judging from his complain ;) [11:06] loaopinto : I am trying to install fi-0.0.26 [11:06] joaopinto: it is enabled [11:06] joaopinto: No, he's just not being helpful. [11:06] joaopinto: it's user error [11:06] mu91t: deal with gnome-mplayer first [11:06] ok :\ [11:07] I wonder if someone can help me with my problem with FrostWire. [11:07] mettler: I've had disks fail on ubuntu 6.06-through to 8.04 and they have been fine [11:07] yes i think you are right ikonia i am probably getting ahead of myself [11:07] Ziroday, Rainlendar has alarms for both events and tasks [11:07] thomasite, try asking :) [11:07] The installation was fine but when I click on it (from the Applications menu), nothing happens. [11:07] ikonia: ive spend days on grub - anyway take a fresh server, install any ubuntu, power off - pull off a disk, and power it on -it will not boot without user interactin [11:08] From the fora I've read on the web, it seems that I have to install Java first. [11:08] mettler: I'll check that, as all the disk fails I've had, have been fine, no issue [11:08] mettler, that is being worked for Intrepid, unanttented boot from a degraded RAID [11:08] mettler: I didn't use the raid installer as I don't trust it, I installed then ported it to raid [11:08] thanks a lot guys bye [11:08] How do I know, from the terminal, that the correct Java version (the one which will make FrostWire work) is installed in my laptop? [11:09] how to know if my ssh is running? i cannot access in remote local [11:09] joaopinto: what do u mean with "work for Intrepid," [11:09] ThomasGHenry1, you can get a frostwire package from getdeb, the package was developed to work with ubuntu [11:09] jigp: what is a remove local [11:09] mettler, I mean, that is beeing worked for the future Ubuntu version (named Intrepid) [11:09] jigp: remote local [11:09] how do i do that, joaopinto? [11:10] thomasite, www.getdeb.net/app/frostwire [11:10] i already have frostwire.deb in my desktop [11:10] joaopinto: ah ok thx ! -so i might try the first betas and have a look at the ramfs scripts [11:10] thomasite, but that one was download form the frostwire site, right ? [11:10] ikonia : i tried to access like: ssh jigp@10.0.0.7 [11:10] yes, joao. [11:10] jigp: ok so ps -ef | grep sshd [11:10] so i have to download from the getdeb website. [11:11] thomasite, the getdeb .deb was changed, it's more integrated with Ubuntu [11:11] it should guarantee that the required java version will also be installed [11:11] I have a SanDisk MP3 Player need a good music player for it Thanks [11:11] ikonia : ssh jigp@10.0.0.3 [11:11] ssh: connect to host 10.0.0.3 port 22: Connection refused [11:11] jigp: why are you showing me that [11:11] jigp: I've just told you what to do [11:11] ok. i'm downloading it now. [11:12] thomasite, if it doesn't work, complain to me :P [11:12] how do i uninstall the frostwire version that i had downloaded from the frostwire website? [11:12] hahaha [11:12] :) [11:12] thomasite, search for it on the package manager, and remove it [11:12] synaptic? [11:12] or from the terminal: sudo apt-get remove frostwire [11:12] yes, synaptic [11:13] all packages inatalled from .debs are listed there [11:13] i feel somehow better working with the terminal [11:13] thanks [11:13] will do it now. [11:13] ops, installed [11:13] Ziroday, do u use Xfce? [11:13] ikonia : ~$ ps -ef | grep sshd [11:13] root 5055 1 0 18:02 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd [11:13] jigp 6695 6435 0 18:11 pts/0 00:00:00 grep sshd [11:14] !info linux-headers-2.6.22-15-generic [11:14] Package linux-headers-2.6.22-15-generic does not exist in hardy [11:14] frostwire's already removed. now it's time for me to wait for the getdeb version. [11:14] thomasite >> sudo apt-get remove PACKAGENAME [11:14] thanks, joaopinto. :) [11:14] !info [11:14] Retrieve information on a package: !info [11:14] thanks, asathoor. [11:14] jigp: so then you are either a.) not connecting to the correct box b.) or a firewall is blocking you [11:14] once frostwire is downloaded, i'll just double-click on it, no?

[11:29] jigp: it's running, all good, you can "ping" localhost, so you know your neworking is there, are you using tcp_wrappers at all (/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny) [11:29] guntbert: but no-one could see what you where talking about yesterday [11:30] ikonia : ssh: connect to host 10.0.0.3 port 22: Connection refused [11:31] jigp: ping show me the output of "ifconfig -a" in a pastebin please [11:31] ikonia, so I need to clarify: yesterday in update-manager there was after 'security-updates',... a section 'distribution updates' containing som lib [11:31] guntbert: it means an update the distro [11:31] guntbert: a security update - can also be a distro update, if it's replacing a library [11:32] Yes, Pirate_Hunter. I'm still downloading it. :) Thanks again. [11:32] jigp: to make it easier debugging I suggest also you use localhost [11:32] ikonia : http://pastebin.com/m61bf1d54 [11:32] ikonia, the 2nd sentence clarifies it for me, thx [11:33] so is there an easy way to setup ubuntu as a (nat) router without editing a million files? [11:33] jigp: can we work on getting it working on localhost first, rather than a wirless card [11:33] pengo: not really no [11:33] pengo: you have to have a reasonable understanding of what your doing [11:34] ikonia: :/ [11:34] ikonia : ok :) [11:34] ikonia: i'm ok without doing it, i'm not so sure i'll be able to get everything back again tho to turn it off [11:34] jigp: oh so "ssh -vv localhost" === kman is now known as kmansix [11:35] pengo: if you can do it - you should know it's one command to turn it off [11:35] ikonia : http://pastebin.com/me7b55d7 [11:35] ikonia: hm k [11:36] Flannel: so i am back ;) [11:36] ikonia: i've got a howto in front of me and it's long :/ [11:36] pengo: so ? [11:36] there [11:36] wrong room:P [11:36] pengo: a how to is not knowing what your doing [11:37] jigp: thats odd [11:37] ikonia: in some other OS made by a redmond company it's a checkbox [11:37] pengo: it's not in ubunu [11:37] and i only need it for 5 minutes [11:37] pengo: how long you need it for doesn't change the facts [11:37] Hi, I have a problem installing Kubuntu Feisty on an older computer. Breezy, Dapper and Edgy worked on it. During the partitioning process (where I select partitions manually) power goes down and my machine reboots. At no particular moment. [11:38] jigp: thats most odd/frustrating [11:38] ikonia: that it's a pita. yes. [11:38] Otherwise, the computer works fine, and there are no shutdowns. [11:38] So it's not power supply or anything else. [11:38] hello everyone. I keep reading on websites that I should find a "hardware manager" in ubuntu-gnome's system/preferences menu but I don't. Any ideas where the option could be hiding? [11:38] jigp: I don't think you'll see anything but does /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/messages give any clues ? [11:40] I've installed and configured lm-sensors but I can't find the hardware section in ksysguard to add sensors [11:40] ke te cuentas [11:40] moontan: For what reason are you looking for it? [11:40] ikonia : i think i will try to reboot [11:41] jigp: its very odd behaviour [11:41] ikonia : yeah. i can access it before.now i cannot [11:41] moontan: Anyhow, it's under System - Administration [11:42] jigp: ahh so it was working [11:42] jigp: did you get an updates ? [11:42] I want to see how my hardware is configured. i reinstalled ubuntu after having problems with hardware abstraction layer (hal) taking ages at startup and i suspect that there was something wrong with my usb wifi adaptor. [11:42] ikonia : yes. everyday i get an updates..so i downloaded them [11:42] Hello, my Ctl-Alt-F1 is not working any more in graphical sessions, I cannot get the text-only interface… do you know a command to switch to the text-only mode? [11:42] I want to install kde4 on my ubuntu installation (to try it out), is there any package similar to kubuntu-desktop but for kde4? or would I have to select all the kde packages myself? [11:42] jigp: if you have one which is openssl based - and you don't reboot I've seen it hang ssh in that way [11:42] pabix: You could always run "chvt 1" [11:43] Berge, thank you! [11:43] pabix: Take a look in your xorg.conf file and see wether you've enable DontVTSwitch. [11:43] hateball, i looked there too, but i only come across "examine hardware" and "hardware drivers" there (i am not sure about the english names, translating from german now) [11:44] Berge, oh, I am lucky someone knows that [11:44] moontan: Again, what is it you need to do? :) [11:44] none of the two is the hardware manager i am looking for [11:44] hateball - again: I want to see how my hardware is configured. i reinstalled ubuntu after having problems with hardware abstraction layer (hal) taking ages at startup and i suspect that there was something wrong with my usb wifi adaptor. [11:45] Berge, no such line, but I had to prefix the chvt with sudo [11:45] Thank you very much for this help! [11:45] right now i have a cable lan, but i fear the problems will occur again when i unplug it and switch to wifi [11:46] !skype [11:46] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [11:46] pabix: No trouble at all. [11:47] Has anyone had problems installing Feisty on Asus A7N8X mainboard ? [11:47] moontan: are you looking for sysinfo?

[13:24] I've try to set myself to have privilege to mount and unmount for plug in device and when i click the details there some message [13:24] tux, can you change back to X by alt-f7?

[13:26] u mean I have multi OS? [13:26] vnix, right [13:26] yes [13:26] I have two OS [13:26] xnv: System>preferences>Appearance>Visual affects> anything other then none give me: "destop effects could not be enabled" [13:26] tux, try "ps ax | grep getty" to see if tty are running [13:27] vnix, boot up into windows and have chkdsk or the scandisk tool do a scan [13:27] alrigt [13:27] after that? [13:27] hi unop, i tried that link already but i think the example is quite complex for me as newbie [13:27] enzo, yes, six tty [13:27] enzotib, italiano? [13:27] s' [13:27] i am trying the raid 0 during the fresh installation of ubuntu server [13:27] sì [13:27] vnix, well, you should be able to use the volume on linux then .. but just to be safe, reboot windows once more before trying [13:28] okie thanks [13:28] I am going to try it now [13:28] xnv: System>preferences>Appearance>Visual affects> anything other then none give me: "destop effects could not be enabled" [13:28] Starwiz: Exact error message + Google. That's all I can suggest. [13:28] Starwiz: Others might know more, but the exact error message would probably help. [13:29] michaelmon, i seriously recommend you read that howto, it is quite overwhelming - but it also gives you enough background so you know what exactly setting up and maintaining a RAID0 volume on linux entails [13:30] does anyone know how to remove items from the Wine Applications menu? I removed the applications but don't know how to remove the menu item. [13:31] slm millet [13:32] thanks unop i really appreciate it, let me give you my url [13:32] of the problem i encountered [13:32] alooooo [13:32] kevin_123, right click on application menu and edit menu [13:33] kevin_123: open system>preferences>main menu and either uncheck or delete entry [13:33] doesn't that just hide the menu item and any new user account created those programs would have to be hidden again?

[13:52] skarface: i also get errors lik NULL not defined... [13:52] I'm planning on making a dual-boot system with XP and Ubuntu [13:53] kevin_123: dual boot and vmware are not related [13:53] i want to install Ubuntu but i do not understand the partitioning system and i want to add two my second harddrive instead of my windows 600gig hd [13:53] kukuchobi: choose the partition that matches the second harddrive [13:53] crdlb: apue.h dirent.h i also get errors lik NULL not defined and incomaptible implicit declaration of printf ?!?! [13:54] gauravkumar: what are you compiling? something of your own invention? [13:54] i dont undertsnad when it says things like ...1a or b or c [13:54] kukuchobi: sda1 is the first hard drive, first partition.. [13:54] crdlb: a simple ls clone man... i jus needed the basic header files [13:54] oh...someone last night was saying it was great if you were using more than one O/S on a computer [13:54] hello motherfuckers [13:54] kevin_123: yes you can use them at the same time with vmware. [13:55] kevin_123: dual-booting means restarting and choosing one or the other [13:55] rgnr, the latest should do fine [13:55] I've got an Asus M2N32-Deluxe motherboard, it has built in wireless & wired connections. How can i completely disable the wireless (it seems to be giving me errors) [13:55] oh ok. so i look for sda 2 and then i dont undertand when i use the partition manager i want a swap of 4 gig and 10 gig for ubuntu but i dont know what is going on lol [13:55] crdlb: aaahhh!!! allover the net the instructions are install build-essential !!! that doesnt help!!! [13:55] gauravkumar: well, dirent.h is in libc6-dev, which should have been installed by build-essential [13:55] kukuchobi: well if you want to use the whole drive then it's probably sdb1 [13:56] gauravkumar: please calm down :) [13:56] yer but what if that sdb1 is the big drive? [13:56] kukuchobi: the swap should be at least the size of your memory to allow for hibernation and such... ubuntu does all of that for you, it's not terribly important [13:56] there's a limited supply of exclamation points [13:56] blackbinary: and what about 7.10 is faster and more stable? [13:56] crdlb: i tried that manually too.. but it shows package uptodate [13:56] blackbinary: or not? [13:56] !language > Ubiratan [13:56] Ubiratan, please see my private message [13:56] kukuchobi: well look at the characteristics of the drive before you finalize anything. the partitioner will tell you what the size is.

[13:58] i know i just dont fully understand the process [13:58] executionist: dunno about ubuntu specified way. [13:58] <|MUSE|> I want to mount a second hd, of 2 partitions. Does this look right for fstab; /dev/sdb2 /home/share xfs relatime 0 2? [13:58] please tell me a step by step way [13:59] crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37710/ [13:59] kukuchobi: well what you want to do is use the guided using entire disk option [13:59] and just leave what is says on there [13:59] skarface, I just sent you a PM [13:59] kukuchobi: and then pick the second disk, which is probably sdb. is the disk formatted? [13:59] and make sure it is on my smaller drive? [13:59] Hi. Question: where is bash_history kept when you "sudo bash", please? [13:59] |MUSE|: technicly yes, but for somereason sd? can link to different harddisks between reboots [13:59] I've got an Asus M2N32-Deluxe motherboard, it has built in wireless & wired connections. How can i completely disable the wireless (it seems to be giving me errors) [13:59] or does it only pick up drives that do not have other operating systems? [14:00] |MUSE|: so best practise is to use UUID [14:00] blackbinary: 8.04.1? [14:00] Ziroday: i have compiz installed but for some reason i cant the cube to start [14:00] kukuchobi, yes make sure the drive being formated is the smaller one and let the partitioner do it's thing. [14:00] i have moved any items of to the other drive [14:00] <|MUSE|> simplexio, UUID, where can I find out about that? [14:00] how to install compiz fusion in kubuntu 8.04? [14:01] also in ubuntu my screen is slightly off to the right so my power and trash can are off the screen lol how to correct this? [14:01] |MUSE|, type blkid in terminal to get UUID of device [14:01] <|MUSE|> and then put that in place of the device field? [14:01] kukuchobi: tell you monitor to auto-adjust using the buttons on the monitor [14:01] your* [14:01] what does alternate mean? [14:01] |MUSE|: ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [14:01] gauravkumar: apue.h is a header file that you are supposed to be including yourself [14:01] ah thankyou [14:01] rgnr, yep hardy heron. [14:02] gauravkumar: it's not actually a system header [14:02] !alternative | rgnr [14:02] rgnr: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [14:02] vrvierra: you have most probably disabled it [14:02] ill have a try thankyou [14:02] rgnr, you can just use the regular installer. just be sure to pick 64bit if you have enough ram and capable processor [14:02] crdlb: i did include it in the pgm.. u think its missing from the install? [14:03] I've got an Asus M2N32-Deluxe motherboard, it has built in wireless & wired connections. How can i completely disable the wireless (it seems to be giving me errors) [14:03] |MUSE|: that shows whixh hd has which uuid, then in fstan replace /dev/sdb1 with UUID=21312312dasdd2 , or what ever that uuid is [14:03] simplechat, ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ is not guaranteed to be populated with links for all volumes and therefore isn't a good way to find out the UUID of a volume [14:03] blackbinary: and what about compatibility for 64bit architecture? === datacrusher is now known as dtcrshr [14:03] hi [14:03] gauravkumar: but you didn't provide it on the gcc command line [14:04] blackbinary: gives errors or causes actaul problems?, and bios is good plave to start if you intend totally disable something [14:04] crdlb: nope... assumed its a sys header [14:04] what is the difference between Ubuntu 64 bit and 32 bit? [14:04] anyone have 2 minutes and GNOME to help me verify a bug? I see it in 8.04 32 bit [14:04] Ziroday: nope i told it to enable, it kind of works but it wont resize with the 3d effect [14:04] blackbinary - try using the bios to disable the wireless network card [14:04] unop, what? [14:04] simplechat, my bad, that was meant to simplexio [14:04] crdlb: also that still doesnt explain the incompatible implicit printf error [14:04] gauravkumar: according to google, it's just something the book has you include for convenience [14:04] <|MUSE|> ok thanks all, got it working :) [14:04] rgnr, its all good :) [14:04] gauravkumar: that header include stdio.h and friends [14:04] can i any way install dsl on ubuntu whitout burning it on disc? [14:05] vrvierra: have you enabled rotate cube? [14:05] anyone here used WICD? is it better then network-manager? [14:05] simplexio, kevin_123, i have been getting crashes and freezes, and the only errors ive gotten before hand relate to my wireless, os i want to disable it completely. might try the bios, but I have no idea where to find it [14:05] !wicd [14:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd [14:05] crdlb: didnt get u.. can u be a lil elaborate [14:05] blackbinary: any practical differences between i386 and 64bit architecture? speed performance? [14:06] blackbinary: throw dmesg into pastebin and i check it after i get back to X [14:06] hi all. when installing new themes, do i have to do this as root ? the "Appearence Preference" app says "new themes installes successfully", but i can't see them anywhere afterwards. anyone knows how to do this ? [14:06] rgnr, if you have a 64bit processor, and 2+gb of memory, go 64bit, the processor can be faster, at the least it has the potential to be. also more memory support. [14:06] how to install tar.gz files on Ubuntu 8.04?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:07] blackbinary, don't be afraid of the bios. Look around in it for hardware/device stuff and if you can't find it just exit without saving and it's all the same as before you snooped around [14:07] gauravkumar: you're using "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment", right? [14:07] allupp: ?? [14:07] crdlb: yes :) [14:07] gauravkumar: in Appendix B, there is a copy of apue.h [14:07] blackbinary: ok 10x :) [14:08] blackbinary: and one option is also type rmmod "yourwirelessdriver" [14:08] blackbinary: that unloads it [14:08] simplexio:?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [14:09] allupp: far as i know dsl usually means internet connection type, which you cant burn into cd at all [14:09] simplexio, yea i was thinking that but i dont know the driver :/ [14:09] crdlb: will include that.. thanks a lot :) [14:09] simplexio, he means dDamnSmallLinux DSL I assume [14:10] simplexio: i try to get dsl installed on xubuntu but i don't have any cd to burn it on so could i install it whit out buring it on cd (dsl=daam small linux) [14:10] simplexio, yep damn small linux :) [14:10] simplexio: dsl === digital subscriber line or damn small linux ;) [14:10] gauravkumar: no problem, good luck :) [14:10] simplexio : http://pastebin.com/d64b534bb [14:10] allupp: over it or in it ?

[14:12] ubottu:what is the difference between Ubuntu 64 bit and 32 bit? [14:12] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:12] allupp, you can't install DSL on xubuntu [14:13] blackbinary: maybe.. if you get lucky your wireless driver has wire in its name [14:13] unop: you can in a virtualbox :D [14:13] dido: its simple, 64bit gives the processor more space for info, basically, and gives you the ability for more ram [14:13] ActionParsnip, definitely not the same thing [14:13] simplexio, well i didnt get a response [14:13] unop: :( how am i going to install it on my computer [14:13] dido: 64bit ubuntu needs a 64bit cpu and will use the cpu more efficiently than the 32bit [14:13] unop: its similar [14:13] ActionParsnip: depends [14:14] often 64bit is less efficieant. [14:14] allupp, if you want to boot up from an .ISO on the harddrive .. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~colohan/docs/fedora_upgrade.html [14:14] blackbinary: you have to wait few minutes, have reboot for new kernel [14:14] simplexio, huh? [14:14] Ziroday, yep i told it to rotate cube [14:14] unop, dsl site has a howto on how to boot from iso. [14:14] iirc [14:15] vrvierra, did you set desktop size to 4+? [14:15] allupp: its probably possible, i did that kind of stuff with gentoo many times ( basic system for gentoo is .tar.gz package, then chrooted into it and installed grub etc.. stuff) [14:15] vrvierra: and cube reflection [14:15] IdleOne, if you can find the URL - please give it to allupp [14:15] vrvierra, did you set desktop size to 4+? How do i do that [14:16] allupp: but i cant help with dsl, probably you could try something like mounting .iso to /mnt/install, then chroot into it and try run installer from it [14:16] vrvierra its under the general options at the top, dont have it open so cant be specific but its the second tab on that menu [14:16] vrvierra you should see 'virtual horizontal desktop size' etc. just increase that to 4 or more. [14:16] allupp: but if you are not familiar with chroot and other things i mentioned , it probably fails [14:16] Anyone know why the ubuntu 8.04.1 live dvd informs me i have an invalid cd even though it has the right md5 sum? [14:17] Flynsarmy: did you do a integrity test when you booted from the CD/DVD? [14:17] :( that link was good but i wear that it might harm my cd driver working bechause i do have it instead of that i don't :( [14:17] simplexio> blackbinary: you have to wait few minutes, have reboot for new kernel ----what did u mean from that? [14:18] Flynsarmy, the burn may have gone bad .. try burning it at a lower speed [14:18] blackbinary: havent checked that link yet [14:18] wols_, No. I just loaded it in windows. I googled it and the problem doesn't seem to happen just to me [14:18] allupp, you aren't making much sense [14:18] blackbinary: in tty , while new kernel compiles [14:18] maek0, This happens both with the burnt dvd and just a plain mounted dvd [14:18] to blackbinary and Ziroday thank you for your help, got to go to work now, have a good one. [14:18] allupp, what is the issue [14:18] vrvierra np :) [14:18] Hey [14:19] Anyone know where to set the max number of open file descriptors? [14:19] allup these are instructions on how to do a HDD install ( requiers a cd ) look at the wiki for dsl for more options http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_to_the_Hard_Disk [14:19] unop: the link i gave was hot to install on linux if you don't have the cd or floppy (i have both) so if i do that trik i wear that it does somekind of harm to my cd usage [14:19] Angel-SL, http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~brecht/servers/openfiles.html [14:20] allupp, that is a hardware issue; what does dsl have to do with ubuntu [14:20] idleone:problem is that i don't have a cd [14:20] i try to install dsl on xubuntu [14:20] allupp: in what ways can you boot and which OS then`? [14:20] unop: You really should have sent http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=set+the+max+number+of+open+file+descriptors&btnG=Search [14:20] allupp, that is a different distro; you cannot install it on xubuntu [14:20] allupp, this has nothing to do with CDs or CD drivers .. it simply configures grub to boot off the contents of an ISO you have laid out on your HDD [14:20] so i fonderet that if you could do it some how from terminal [14:21] allupp, you can not install DSL on xubuntu. DSL is an OS like Xubuntu is an OS [14:21] xnv, GIYF is not considered friendly in here [14:21] allupp, you should ask in the dsl forums for this [14:21] allupp: its like asking if you can install windows in xubuntu, its not an appliction its another operatibg system [14:21] unop, GIYF? [14:21] idleone: i try to install dsl over xubuntu [14:21] Google is your friend [14:21] IdleOne: google it yourself [14:21] ahhh thanks :) [14:22] !fi | allupp [14:22] allupp: Suomenkielinen keskustelu (K)Ubuntusta kanavilla #ubuntu-fi ja #kubuntu-fi [14:22] ubottu: ok [14:22] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [14:22] unop: I think sending the link is more useful than GIYF and subtle enough that it needn't be taken harshly unless they already know better. [14:22] allupp, type /join #ubuntu-fi [14:22] allupp, from what I see DSL has a pretty extensive wiki page. read it look for your answers. join #dsl perhaps and ask them [14:23] allupp, this is ubuntu channel, dsl support is elsewhere.

[15:08] wols_ no, from mandrake to ubuntu [15:08] juannicolas, what is the issue [15:09] Dazed: not bad, shouldnt be too slow, run another terminal with top and when it hangs, look at the other terminal window [15:09] Hi, i don't know if my problems actually is ubuntu or my proftpd server, I need to transfer files that are more than 2 gigs and it would not let me.

[15:16] * geek_ notes thats a nice thing about unix style file systems, you don't really notice partitions if its done right [15:17] sigh... i must have done this wrong.. It's still getting the dns automatically and using that. [15:17] siriusnova: you could mount it in your filesystem or use it as ~/ [15:17] Dazed: anything in /etc/resolv.conf? [15:18] yeah [15:18] !chmod [15:18] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [15:18] its got the name server [15:18] the one i dont want [15:18] can i just change that?

[15:21] hi [15:21] Chrizz_: probably just slow dns propagation? [15:22] oh u meant, pidgin does msn, and it does irc and msn at the same time? [15:22] kazuni: i just ewanted a cheap crap lappy [15:22] yes [15:22] in vi editor when i use arrow key it writes some letter like d or D instead of moving the cursor..why [15:22] haha i see [15:22] kazuni: sametime is an ibm chat protocol [15:22] ActionParsnip: ah. what's your budget, and what do u want to run on it? [15:23] dabbu: use nano instead, its more intuitive imho [15:23] no one ever thought about using hibernation instead of restart when switching to windows for playing games? [15:23]  ActionParsnip: what is nano ? [15:23] kazuni: www, ssh and pidgin [15:23] ?

[15:25] kazuni: indeed it is [15:25] learn gvim :) [15:25]  ActionParsnip: in college we have redhat installed ..can i expext that nano is preinstalled [15:25] kazuni: im hoping to get a pda phone with firefox for xul [15:25] dabbu: i would [15:25] Its still using the automatic dns... what the heck [15:26] ActionParsnip: a wince pda or a linux based pda? [15:26] i know it uses pm-hibernate, but i didn't see any argument i can pass to it in order to do soft-reboot [15:26] i just changed resolve.conf, dhclient.cong, and set it manually in network options [15:26]  ActionParsnip: so is there any manual for nano..so that i can become familiar with this [15:26] i reboot and its all back to default [15:26] ActionParsnip: the only thing that has tha currently would be a n810 [15:26] kazuni: i need xul for amarok remote :) [15:26] Ahhhhh [15:26] dazed: was that to me?

[15:27] i wish there were feature like 'apt-get install girlfriend' :( [15:27] ActionParsnip: why would they be held back from a regular upgrade, but not a dist-upgrade? [15:28] dazed: have you tried the ubuntu bind9 on the server documentation for dns, not sure if its what you want but might be worth a look [15:28] KlrSpz: cos it affects much, usually is kernel updates etc [15:28] i thought dist-upgrade was to be more strict on what it upgraded? [15:28] nope i havent [15:28] ActionParsnip: it's just xbmc :S [15:28]  ActionParsnip: in nano how to write out [15:28] !xbmc [15:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about xbmc [15:28] is it possible to setup a way so a php script can be called passing a username when a username logs in? so i could for instance echo out something back to the user when they login?

[15:30] mrwhippy: ubuntu session data [15:30] dabbu: when it says to write out, you can change the filename [15:30] but php wont create a session when a user logs in via ssh?

[15:32] err... is that a feature that my IDE disk is now seen as a sd? device ? [15:32] xb23: im no expert on that but could you have a script that runs on login that sets a variable with the username, not sure but does ubuntu have a %username% type thing [15:32] dazed: yeah thought that was what you were after [15:32] not sure [15:33] guys i just have ubunutu on my laptop and i would like to remove it and install new one so anyone??? [15:33] xb23: that would be the way to go i think have a logon script set a value maybe in a text file that you can then access to use as user data [15:33] Where's the hibernation guy? :( [15:33] Abed, windows === gonzo_ is now known as baba_booie [15:34] fprint ubunutu [15:34] take it there is no one can tell me how to configure my bridged network around then all [15:34] Hello guys [15:34] mrwhippy: what are you tryin to do?

[15:35] KlrSpz: i have set up some virtual machines in vmware on an ubuntu server and the network bridge keeps telling me that it cannot connect, i was wondering how and where i can manually edit to put the bridges in [15:35] Shaba1, best to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:35] where would I look to find out why apache is being loaded at boot up. I need to stop it becasue its loading the wrong version [15:35] mrwhippy: have you tried using nat? or do you NEED bridging? [15:35] Shaba1, ie not here [15:36] Shaba1: check the init-scripts in /etc/init.d/* [15:36] Shaba1: services-admin [15:36] or that [15:36] ;) [15:36] or update-rc.sh [15:36] err, update-rc.d [15:36] klrspz: need bridging, did try a nat but got no where with that either so figured i would concentrate on bridged [15:36] mrwhippy: well bridges are a bicha.. lemme check if i still have my script goin [15:37] mrwhippy: do you have an interface created? like br0? [15:37] is it safe to disable gdm in xubuntu? [15:37] ERICH_lap: yes, if you don't what a graphical login manager [15:37] and not use graphical interface to login? [15:37] the best font in ubunt is what? [15:37] ERICH_lap: you'll also need to set up a ~/.xinitrc for when you want to enter X [15:37] klrspz: as far as i know i have interfaces created they show up in the server console on the bottom right with the cd drive etc. and i followed the default settings but its not connecting [15:38] mrwhippy: well, can you check ifconfig? [15:38] see what you have made? [15:38] KlrSpz: no i don't want it. thanks [15:38] klrspz: on the host or the vm's [15:38] hello everyone [15:38] ERICH_lap: so you dont wnat ANY grpahical stuff? [15:38] Does anyone know how I can fix slow internet connection? [15:38] KlrSpz: just for login [15:39] ERICH_lap: why disable the gui? [15:39] ERICH_lap: first off i hate your name cuz there's too many other ppl with the same start... tab completion fails for it... secondly, you're being very ambiguous.. i'm trying to find out if you want ot ever get into X or not [15:39] victory [15:39] Thanks for the help :) [15:39] KlrSpz: stop. [15:40] stop what? helping? [15:40] KlrSpz: being insulting. [15:40] Gnea, what is the problem [15:40] No Problem, glad to help [15:40] mrwhippy: on the host... btw, here's a scrip i put together a while back to forward from one device to the next (so you can be on diff subnets, which is most likely what your situation) [15:40] KlrSpz: yes i want X, just dont want to use gui for login [15:40] Gnea: and what was insulting? [15:40] 09:39 < KlrSpz> ERICH_lap: first off i hate your name cuz there's too many other ppl with the same start... [15:40] that's not insulting [15:40] i didn't sya it was DUMB [15:40] just that it's a pita to type, lol [15:40] that's just.. wrong. [15:40] well i'm sorry i hurt your feelings [15:40] klrspz: thanks pal ill check the subnets as i wont them all on the same subnet anyway [15:40] maybe i can get this other problem worked out now too.. anybody manage to get directly into their email boxes with pidgin, without re-entering password? [15:41] i dont care if it matters [15:41] klrspz: i have the ifconfig can i pm you with it [15:41] mrwhippy: pastebin.com [15:41] KlrSpz: well, hate speech is discouraged here. please do not do it again.

I'm having some problems with Wifi stability in Hardy, using an 8187L chipset wifi card. I get at most 2 minutes of net access when I boot up and then it dies. Any suggestions how to remedy this? [18:16] soreiser: solve your own problems when you can't or won't answer questions. good bye <- plus, i had answered, if you look above :/ [18:16] <|REM|> Jervey: So I dont get any extra info by having ntop sit in between the router and the network? [18:16] SherlawkDragon: Jeruvy: Also, moving to arch/debian can free up a few system resources if you're willing to give up some ease of use. Generally, gnome is pretty good with resources these days, but if it seems to be too much try moving to xfce. Also, check in top/htop to see if any process is hogging the CPU power, because I remember once kacpid took up all the CPU power on one of my machines. [18:17] is there a different apt source for 8.04.1 ? [18:17] soreiser: why can't you listen? please STOP talking to me. I don't want to put another ignoramus into my ignore list [18:17] noamsml: agreed, I also find tracker is abit annoying [18:17] hi guys [18:17] evilbug: there are lots of mirrors [18:17] is it possible to disable error message boxes from gmplayer? [18:17] wols_ simply i dont want to make a dispute between us [18:17] |REM| sure you can, if you have a bridge device and the stream is bound to it, then it should work [18:17] /ignore soreiser [18:18] *sigh* [18:18] bazhang> I'm doing differen't things when it happens, usually messing with Pidgin. I have an AMD 64 processor, and about 1.5 GB of RAM (which isn't very much, but I think it's enough for any Linux) [18:18] soreiser, he has said he cannot answer your questions if you dont give more info. [18:18] my computer is strange; it sets ownership of some new files to root instead of my user like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/37762/ [18:18] wols_- ? [18:18] SherlawkDragon: Your problem isn't a lack of resources [18:18] soreiser, so please stop. [18:19] bazhang no he simply dont want to talk with me anymore, [18:19] Ax-Ax: is wget set SUID root? [18:19] <|REM|> Jervey: I am getting data now from ntop by just having it run on my laptop. What I am wondering is if it would work better or be more accurate or if i gain anything by putting it on a pc with 2 nic's and sticking that pc in between the router and the local network, or if running it from my laptop just gives me the same info [18:19] soreiser: enough. [18:19] wols_: i don't know [18:19] Blech. Is anyone else getting PM spam? [18:19] Ax-Ax: then check? [18:19] me [18:19] soreiser, that is correct. you wont answer his questions, so stop asking him. [18:19] wols_: how? [18:20] noamsml, BlueOx: /join #freenode and inform them [18:20] noamsml: yes we all are. nothing ops here can do about it. complain about it in #freenode [18:20] I am using compiz, but for some reason, whenever a window is maximized, I can no longer click on it's title bar, and the clicks "go through" to the things underneath? [18:20] Ax-Ax: with "ls -l" [18:20] bazhang i answered *all* his questions if you look above! :( [18:20] wols_: Can't I set myself +i or something?

[18:20] |REM| thats really more dependant on your hardware. if you're using a router in between then you'll see lots but performance will drop due to it. With a switch you may miss traffic. But with ntop on a bridge linking both sides you should see traffic each way [18:20] noamsml: I already are +i and that doesn't help [18:20] I'm just asking if anyone's heard of this bug, or a way to fix it. [18:20] wols_- what about mirrors? [18:20] wols_: on the wget binary or the files downloaded? [18:21] evilbug: there are lots of ubuntu mirrors. choose one [18:21] soreiser: you and wols_. drop it. move on. [18:21] Ax-Ax: wget binary [18:21] |REM| bah *router\hub oops [18:21] wols_- i never asked about a mirror. [18:21] because I keep having to do a hard restart of the system, and wait for Ubuntu to check the drives [18:21] Gnea: I have him on /ignore for some time now. I moved on a long time ago [18:21] evilbug: then I mis-tabcompleted. sorry [18:21] (1311) [18:21] SherlawkDragon: sounds like hardware issue [18:21] soreiser: so what is the problem that you're having?

[18:22] is there a command i can run that will tell me whether an installation is 32 or 64 bit? [18:22] (1311) [18:22] wols_> what hardware could it be?

Ubuntu reports a connection but no net access available after >2 mins. Any ideas what might be causing it? Wifi is stable for all other users on site [18:24] !wifi | Mattz [18:24] Mattz: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:24] Mattz: check your syslog and kernel log [18:24] brb [18:25] What's the correct URI of an ipp printer at 192.168.1.93? [18:25] see you soon [18:25] the_darkside_986: ipp://192.168.1.93 ? [18:25] wols: for what in particular? [18:26] Mattz: for anything relating to your wlan [18:26] Gnea: or ipp://192.168.1.93/printer/foo/bar - it depends.. [18:26] Gnea, that's what I'm trying, but no luck. [18:26] the_darkside_986: did you set it up with cups? [18:26] the_darkside_986: I so have been there, have you tried with a usb cable? [18:26] the_darkside_986: connect with http and enable the printer in the config of the printserver? [18:26] wols: righto. brb as i'm having to use the server to diagnose the machine [18:26] the_darkside_986: or are you trying to connect to it with cups? [18:27] i'm not sure what i'm doing. it is using a "cups" driver though. [18:27] I got the right cups driver for the exact model. === maha is now known as scoist [18:27] Gnea: this is maybe why wols_ and me had dispute, please listen to me carefully :) -> all_generic_ide paramenter is not working amymore with hardy in live cd (or server cd, too) so i get many I/O errors if i run my system without that parameter that is needed for my OLD pc. in grub it works, BUT i need to make it working at the cd-boot to install ubuntu-server. is does not work, instead. so i can see those I/O errors when livecd/server-cd loads [18:27] the_darkside_986: the brother requires tcsh, did you install that? [18:27] howdy, is there a way to send commands to a detached process through the CLI? [18:27] soreiser: i don't care about the dispute, just put /var/log/dmesg on the pastebin site if you want help. [18:27] well, ok _now_ i installed it. [18:27] Maintenance on wiki.ubuntu.com has been successfully completed. [18:28] soreiser: or better yet, just type this: dmesg > dmesg.txt and put dmesg.txt on the pastebin site. === RockstarRaccoon is now known as SherlawkDragon [18:28] soreiser: those are your only options if you would like to continue. === randomnickname_ is now known as randomnickname [18:29] abc [18:29] def [18:29] Gnea ok. i'll do. anyway that's unuseful, i can tell you :/ but should i put dmesg when system is getting those I/O errors?

[18:30] Gnea: or you need when is not [18:30] ive been running kubuntu up until now but im not liking where the project is going (kde4) so im thinking of trying out gnome. is there a way to have both kde and gnome installed? side by side. bandwidth and disk space is not an issue [18:30] sorry testing code..... [18:30] Hi floks, first time I'm around [18:30] Is there anything I need to request before I ask a question or can I just fire away? [18:30] felix: just ask :) [18:30] mizipzor: install ubuntu-desktop [18:30] I just switched from WinXP to ubuntu [18:31] If nmap tells this about the printer, "515/tcp open printer" can I do something with that? I don't think IPP will ever work. [18:31] Gnea i got two different dmesg, depends on if run the system WIH or WITHOUT all_generic_ide parameter at the boot [18:31] why CS, DS is always same in linux? I don't know why. [18:31] mizipzor:sure, you can run 2 DE (desktop env) on your machine [18:31] which do yo need? [18:31] soreiser: both. [18:31] Gnea, ok. wait :) [18:31] wols: last message in syslog before the access stops is No IPv6 routers present [18:31] Artesc: cause linux uses a flat memory model like all modern x86 OSes [18:31] the UI of Ubuntu feels very inflated, is there a way to make it more compact [18:31] soreiser: no problem. [18:31] the_darkside_986: my brother would ping, report SNMP (tell me when it needs ink), I could FTP to it. Just forget sending it data. did not work. [18:31] I'm using the same resolution, yet it feels like I'm cramped with less desktop space [18:32] Mattz: and that is related to wlan how? [18:32] Ah... Thx [18:32] felix: buy a bigger screen :P [18:32] s4n1: is that like... when i login i choose my session type, kde3 or kde4, i want a "gnome" there as well... [18:32] wols: interface listed is wlan0 for the message [18:32] mizipzor:that's correct. select the session and off you go [18:33] test [18:33] Mattz: I didn't say last message. I said "messages". ALL of them [18:33] Is there any reason ssh-keygen could still be generated blacklisted keys in Hardy? Every key I generate is still blacklisted, after updating. [18:33] LSD|Ninja, that could be a long term solution yes :) [18:33] the_darkside_986: switched to usb, worked perfectly. Needed a network printer, switched to xerox.

Upper management bought the printer AND linksys server. [18:34] But even when I'd have a desktop of 1920x1200 I'd still prefer a more compact UI, like the Windows Classic UI [18:34] All these other machines run Windoze but GNU/Linux is the future, so I use it and try to get things working on it first. [18:34] I can't stand the Windows Classic UI :P [18:34] through adepth manager, i requested a install of gnome-desktop-envoirment... but the operation is stated as "BREAK (install)", ive never seen that before, what does it mean? does it conflict with something? what will it break? [18:34] wols: my point is, there is brief period of net access before this final message, then nothing. it gives the usual messages, associating with access point, completes steps 1-5 and then it seems to notice "No IPv6 routers" and dies. It gives no explanation as to why the net access has stopped after that [18:35] the_darkside_986: I'm just telling you what I did. I've reviewed the lauchpad bugs on this issue and it's really buggy. So what if it won't work? [18:35] mizipzor: install ubuntu-desktop with apt-get [18:35] soreiser: I need to go. [18:36] Eh, I got it to print gibberish ASCII [18:36] Any ideas? [18:36] wols_: okey, its still the package gnome-desktop-envoirment, right? [18:36] mizipzor: no [18:37] i see the kernel updated to 21, when is the virtualbox module going to update to that?

[19:36] I cant join it [19:36] ghostknife, usually in Windows a little window will pop up saying it doesn't recognize the device and if I would like to sesarch for a driver, is there anything like that in Ubuntu?

But this 640x480 is the only one shown, and it wonlt let me select the correct one, or change it.

[20:01] Gnea, when I open a video I get pic in a pic and the smaller one has a draggable white box that controls what the larger video is displaying...it's annoying [20:01] pdlnhrd: press the 'minimize' button [20:01] Gnea: not quite the same [20:02] pdlnhrd: redirect the output to null. [20:02] I got the right Brother driver, and even twice accidentally printed successful pages... [20:02] but I can't remember what I did.

[20:03] Gnea: yes i know what "minimizing" a window does... i guess you don't know what hide means on a mac.... i will assume the answer is no it is not possiple [20:03] I've got the tcsh package installed [20:03] Gnea: thank you [20:03] pdlnhrd: why don't you explain it?

[20:07] Gnea, is there a way to just not have a zoom? [20:07] frosty: If the correct drivers are installed. Most are by default, but I'm not sure about hpijs. What does "dpkg --list | grep hpijs" return? [20:07] Kmad: yeah i did aptitude search gnome [20:07] RequinB4, Because that doesn't always work, I'm trying a different way.

[20:15] lol @ Rhythmdvl [20:15] ZeroA4: you're probably right, but virtualbox also doesn't offer the same kind of integration fusion does. [20:15] mrzither, i use VirtualBox and VMware Player 2.x [20:15] !ask | Rhythmdvl [20:15] Rhythmdvl: 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. :-) === mixster is now known as BenDover [20:15] My Sound card is Realtek how can i configure it [20:15] (I"m also patient, and won't flood() [20:15] tvakah: and it may not be possible to do. Some wireless drivers do not support bridging. [20:16] Gnea, nuts so I thought, so there goes my nice and easy way of connecting to various networks without nedeing to fiddle with configuration everytime [20:16] ZeroA4: VMware player and VMware Fusion are two different products. [20:16] Rhythmdvl: good. please, stick to topic. :) [20:16] oh wait ... /msg ubutto etiquette... just noticed ... BRB [20:16] mrzither, Virtualbox has a seamless mode... at least to windows and linux... never tried on a mac [20:16] Hi, here's a tough one for you guys; I have 2 technical problems: === BenDover is now known as mixster [20:16] Problem 1: When I hit hibernate, Ubuntu shuts down like like normal, screen goes black, it hangs for a moment with the white cursor blinking in the corner of the screen, then these 2 lines show op: [20:16] [ 92.114405] i8042 AUX 00.6a: activation failed [20:16] [ 92.114412] i8042 KDB 00.6b: activation failed [20:16] After ~7 sec. the system does shut down, but ofcourse no hibernation. When powered on again, the system boots like normal but when I try to boot Ubuntu it will hang after loading for a few seconds, accompanied by the vertical distortion of video output (loading screen is stretched). [20:16] felix_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:16] MGrunde, what do you think? === mixster is now known as Ivanna_Fock [20:16] frosty: This is on the New Printer Select Connection screen? [20:16] mrzither, yes... but i guess the use the basic same virtualization engine [20:16] MGrunde, yeah [20:16] Kmad: are you telling me to download the sources? [20:16] ZeroA4: I know, but you can't minimize linux programs to the dock like you can with fusion. [20:17] Gnea, I was totem which is why I switched to vlc [20:17] tvakah: you could possibly hook a script into it... but that would require some advanced configuration parameters... if you're not comfortable with the command line and shell scripting, then don't worry about it. === Ivanna_Fock is now known as mixster [20:17] ZeroA4: true, but I assume the OS integration adds some overhead. [20:17] mrzither, yes it cant... [20:17] jpastore: good move [20:17] frosty: It should already be detected by this point... See if you can find the printer in lsusb [20:17] how can i convert .flv files to simple mp3, that i can be able to run on my car usb player, [20:17] the end result is I want a virtual machine behind a tuntap interface to appear on the wireless segment normally, but now that I type that out I'm not even sure if it'd work at all since the vm will be talking normal ethernet framing rather than 802.11 [20:17] mrzither: i dunno... i might have to try out fusion on the mac, but virtualbox does everything that vmware did on linux (even more) [20:17] Gnea, I also have dvd iso's that I rip from my friends camcorder of training video and I get the same problem [20:17] All right. so I have a Presario C700 with an Aetheros wireless card, which needed ndiswrapper in order to work. Now, the wireless card connects, but the computer freezes up a few minutes later. can anyone help? [20:17] MGrunde, nope [20:18] tvakah: 802.11 is nothing more than a transport mechanism. you can bridge a wireless interface with no problems at all. [20:18] pdlnhrd: If virtualbox is what you like, go with that. I just like being able to minimize my linux and vista windows to my dock, as well as adding windows and linux launchers to my dock. [20:18] if metacity is no effects and compiz is extra effects, what manages the windows with normal effects? :P [20:18] Gnea, I'm highly comfortable with it, used to be a staunch Debian-only table pounder, only started using ubuntu fuzzies with my new notebook for the nice defaults and whatnot ;)\ === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix-da-catz [20:18] tvakah: tcp/ip is independent of the other layers :) [20:18] frosty: Odd. The printer is turned on and plugged in? [20:19] mrzither, i guess the main diference of VirtualBox and VMware is that VMware seens to alocate all memory for the VMs at once... and Virtualbox seens to go as needed [20:19] Gnea: yeah, but the ability to masquerade as other MACs is not. [20:19] I thought that bridging happened at the link layer [20:19] ZeroA4: That sounds like an accurate description. [20:19] who [20:19] mrzither: i agree... like started with.. the right tool for the right job, but i will give fusion a try now that you mention it [20:19] which is better make ubuntu virtual Os inside winXp or Winxp virtual Os inside Ubuntu [20:19] I have some problems with some shut down functions in Ubuntu, here's the link to the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37789/ [20:20] Gnea: i was not able to make firefox running in a reasonable way, so i've found an OLD dmesg i already made to report this problem in a bug-report! well sorry, i didn't rembered about that! :/ here's the failing-dmesg: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/6454122/A%3A%5Cdmesg.txt [20:20] Does anyone have experience using Ubuntu as a testing server? I'm working on a WinXP box, wife on a Mac, and we're using the Ubuntu box as a NAS device. Samba (and LAMP, etc.) are all installed, and we can share files fine [20:20] LaRoza: Probably the latter will be happier [20:20] or does the kernel rewrite frames based on what bridge port it's destined out? [20:20] bazhang sorry for this little naming, it was just to give him the link as you asked me before [20:20] tvakah: ah, same here. excellent! well, /etc/network/* is a *little* bit different nowadays, so you should be able to figure something out [20:20] pdlnhrd: they each have pros and cons. VirtualBox uses less memory, VMware Fusion offers better integration. I guess it just matters what is important to you. [20:20] Rhythmdvl: did you have a question/problem? [20:20] howdy, is it possible to use firefox with DBUS? [20:20] I'm trying to install flash on x86_64 and I keep getting this error when I try to use nspluginwrapper http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/37785/ How do I fix this, I think I have all the needed libraries. Thanks. [20:21] Kmad: I guess 2.22 isn't on any ubuntu packages [20:21] i'm here [20:21] tvakah: I don't think it does. All the KVM/QEMU docs I have found claim that you can't bridge with most wireless cards. [20:21] hi , i use pon to connect to internet , when i do pon dsl-provider from my user (nik) it fails to open /dev/ppp (ENOPERM from strace ) but from root it allows me to access, i have tried to chown root:nik and nik:nik to /dev/ppp but it still fails to open. [20:21] ulifer: yeah it may not be 'significant' enough I suppose [20:21] ulifer: you can install it manually with that link I gave you however [20:21] Flannel: yes, thanks -- I'm trying to use Ubuntu as a testing server with Dreamweaver (DW is on a PC) [20:21] MGrunde, i didn't have it plugged in correctly :P [20:22] mto, ahhh good to know ty :) [20:22] quit [20:22] soreiser: finally! see, this is all that was needed... :) you have either: a) a bad hard drive (quite possibly, since Maxtors are some of the WORST drives manufactured this century..), b) a bad IDE/SATA cable, c) a bad motherboard. [20:22] Is there someone who want's to help me with a technical problem? [20:22] mto: yes it is true .. you cannot bridge over wireless .. only NAT [20:22] !ask | felix_ [20:22] felix_: 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. :-) [20:22] It seems that root does not read /etc/environment on login/bash start. Any change to change this? [20:22] Kmad: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu [20:22] tvakah: I'm looking at the same problem, and my solution (yet to be tested though. other priorities) is to set up some static routes and route the VM. [20:22] Kmad: sry, i meant http://www.gnome.org/~davyd/footware.shtml [20:23] mto: yeah, that's true, but he didn't express any concern over it :) [20:23] Gnea, I have some issues with suspend/hibernate: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37789/ [20:23] Rhythmdvl: Ah. You'd have to install FTP, since I believe that's how dreamweaver connects to upload. If dreamweaver does sftp, you'll have a lot easier time setting it up though, so you might want to look into that. [20:23] frosty: Hehe, done that many times [20:23] hi [20:23] Kmad: it says ubuntu supports 2.22 , but i don't see the new version anywhere, the package [20:23] i need a good ftp client... someone knows any? [20:23] ulifer: yeah I understand that [20:23] ulifer: thats odd [20:23] !ftp [20:23] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [20:23] felix_: could you please pasetbin dmesg? [20:24] FLannel: the funny thing is, DW has a LAN option -- and I can see/browse the share file I'd set up with Samba. But it can't (doesn't have permissions) to add files or folders [20:24] MGrunde, it was a usb connection...and i sort of blindly plugged it in late at night into the ethernet port and it stayed like that for a week :P [20:24] !irc [20:24] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [20:24] I'm not familiar with dmesg, what is it? [20:24] MGrunde, it was the square-ish end of the usb cord.. [20:24] all of them are good ubottu? [20:24] !http [20:24] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [20:24] ulifer: have you tried downoading it from http://www.compatdb.org/support/topics/181964_gnome_2_22_2_released.html [20:24] felix_: it shows you the kernel messages - open a terminal and type it, you'll see [20:24] mto, hmm I think I'd need some kind of dhcp proxy for the effect I'm going for to make that work tho, can't add static routs until the guest has ip configured? [20:24] Kmad: those are all sources [20:24] Rhythmdvl: Are you sure its samba then? If you're having permission problems, then thats a samba issue (I'm a master of the obvious!) [20:24] felix: dmesg replays all the goo you see when you boot linux. [20:25] how can i compile and run c, c++, c# and vb.net files by using terminal [20:25] ulifer: so can't you compile them? [20:25] okidoki 1 sec. [20:25] Kmad: am i supposed to download each of those packaeges one by one? [20:25] frosty: Hahaha, no wonder it didn't work [20:25] Kmad: hmm i could use garnome [20:25] is it possible to use firefox with DBUS? [20:25] tvakah: yeah. So you need to either do a proxy arp, something I haven't seen in *years*, or put all VMs on a different IP subnet and route that statically via your laptop, or start using a routing protocol. [20:26] LaRoza: C programs compile with the command gcc [20:26] MGrunde, i realized that when lsusb showed nothing :P [20:26] thx [20:26] tvakah: but remember: friends don't let friends EVER use RIP, even if just for a quick hack. [20:26] open("/dev/ppp", O_RDWR) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted), ls -l crw-rw---- 1 root dip 108, 0 2008-08-16 03:22 /dev/ppp [20:27] Gnea that's exactly what i was trying to tell you before. have you seen that it wasn't helpful at all? what i wanna let you understand is that: using all_generic_ide as kernel parameter i get no more errors and hdd works totally [20:27] i've permissions why is it failing [20:27] frosty: Then I get all the credit :) [20:27] MGrunde, of course [20:27] Gnea: all of it? the results of dmesg in terminal I mean? It's a lot. [20:28] Gnea: but in hady's installation cds does not work anymore, in 7.10 (xubuntu) it works. why? and how to solve that? [20:28] *hardy [20:28] mto, hmm proxy arp sounds like a good plan to me... I seem to remember using that a long long time ago [20:28] hi there - for some odd season since i installed ubuntu as a dual boot everytime i go to xp it goes back an hour but the time stays as is in ubuntu - any ideas what ubuntu did to cause this? === sean is now known as Guest86975 [20:28] is it possible to send messages to firefox with DBUS? [20:29] simotempler: What time zone are you in? [20:29] GMT [20:29] simotempler: i understood xp goes back an hour except the time how is that possible or could you explain in detail? [20:29] tvakah: just gotta figure out how to configure it. The last time I used it was over a decade ago on a SCO box with 128 modems. [20:30] Gnea: i think the problem is the old motherboard, but using that parameter it solves [20:30] siimotempler: on both machines? Ubuntu probably changed the hardware clock to a different timezone or something like that. [20:30] Please Guys help me [20:30] simotempler: It has to do with XP wanting the hardware clock to be local time, but Linux wanting the hardware clock to UTC. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Multiple%20Boot%20Systems%20Time%20Conflicts [20:30] just everytime i boot xp the clock goes backan hr - and i stopped it sync to see if that worked but no and the system clocks seems to stay the same just xp [20:30] When I write aplay -l this is the result [20:30] mindstorm : what ? [20:30] simotempler: There's two workarounds (tweak Linux, Tweak windows), they're both available at that page [20:30] I have no Color on my Nvidia Tv-out (hardy) please help [20:31] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** [20:31] card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC861 Analog [ALC861 Analog] [20:31] Subdevices: 1/1 [20:31] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [20:31] mindstorm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:31] cheers [20:31] felix_: yes. dmesg > dmesg.txt, then open dmesg.txt in gedit and cut 'n paste it [20:31] Gnea: here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37791/ [20:31] soreiser: interesting. yes, it looks like it does. [20:31] how come root does not read values in /etc/environment? [20:31] but when I write [20:32] MGrunde, g2g...thx [20:32] soreiser: i did notice that you have no APIC... try adding 'lapic' to your kernel line [20:32] Hello, I need some help getting Flash 10 RC workin in FF3.0.1 in 8.04. I get this error message when trying to use nspluginwrapper: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [20:32] grep | hda the result is " snd-hda-intel" [20:32] but i have the file libcurl.so.3 [20:32] so which one is the true for Alsa Driver ??? [20:33] libcurl.so.3 is in /usr/lib, i tried making a symbolic link in /usr/lib64 but that didn't help [20:33] Gnea: in fact; the problem is that it does not work with hardy's livecd anymore. i need it to install ubuntu-server without get those errors (i add all_generic_ide but it does not work, tha's why i was asking if that parameter has been removed or something) [20:33] Gnea what does that seves? [20:33] *serves [20:33] Gnea "lapic" i mean [20:33] soreiser: it turns on the APIC of the CPU. just try it and see what happens.. [20:34] I don't Know what is the true Module to Install it [20:34] is it possible to send messages to firefox with DBUS? i can't find anything useful on google. [20:34] atiixp or snd-hda-intel My sound card is HDA Realtek [20:34] Gnea sorry, what should happen? [20:34] I'm waiting [20:34] I got some packages from hardy-backports or hardy-proposed that messed up my system, so I removed those repositories from sources.list. How do I get the versions of those packages that are provided by my currently-selected repos? [20:34] soreiser: we are not going through this again. [20:34] soreiser, try it [20:35] more importantly, how do I get rid of packages from those old repos? [20:35] soreiser: it may or may not improve the stability of the system [20:35] bazhang, Gnea: i just wanted to know what could i "see" of difference [20:35] Gnea ok [20:35] soreiser: worst case: the same thing will happen again. best case: it will help solve the problem. [20:35] soreiser, please dont argue [20:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37792/ [20:35] Hi there, I'm trying to enable visual effects in Ubuntu and I'm getting the error message "The composite extension is not available". I've tried adding "Composite" "Enabled" in the "Options" section of my xorg.conf, but I still get the same error. I am using Xinerama with multiple monitors.. could that be contributing to this problem?? [20:36] Gnea: "LAPIC" is? [20:36] soreiser, add to boot params [20:36] lapic soreiser [20:36] yeah ok [20:37] bewst1: If you go into synaptic, you can manually downgrade the versions, you can do it through apt-get too. Or you could remove them, then reinstall them (and the new versions you install will be in your current repos) [20:37] hi, what do I have to do, do remove grub from mbr (with an ubuntu live cd)? [20:37] kri: What are you going to use in its place? [20:37] soreiser: BOOT_IMAGE=/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/xubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw quiet splash -- locale=it_IT console-setup/layoutcode=it lapic all_generic_ide [20:38] Flannel: The problem is finding the packages to downgrade. But on my 10th try googling I found http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-224348.html which is the answer. [20:38] Flannel: its my old notebook which i want to sell and i want to put the windows xp on it again [20:38] kri: Just instlal windows XP, and that'll take care of the MBR [20:38] bewst1: I'm not sure I understand. the packages aren't in the repos currently? [20:38] but its only an image and no installation, so xp doesnt install its bootmgr [20:39] kri: Ah. You'll need an XP disk to do that, or you can use an alternative bootloader, like smart boot manager. [20:39] is it possible to send messages to firefox with DBUS? i can't find anything useful on google. [20:39] Flannel: but there must be a way to make a plain disk of it isnt there? [20:39] from ubuntu i mean [20:39] Flannel: I removed some repos from my sources.list. Those repos had resulted in "upgrades" to (apparently broken versions of) some packages [20:40] Flannel: the trick is finding out what needs to be downgraded [20:40] bewst1: What packages do you want to install instead? [20:40] Flannel: the old versions of the same packages that are supplied by my currently selected repos. If you really want to understand, read the link I quoted you because that guy had the same problem. [20:40] bewst1: If you remove those repos, go into synaptic, and view by... section,... I think. You'll see "local or obsolete" packages, those are ones that aren't in current repos [20:41] Flannel: let me look at that [20:41] kri: Sure, but copying an image of XP won't give you a working bootloader. [20:41] kri: you'll have XP on the disk, but it won't boot [20:41] Flannel: but this is an original image cd, which was sold with the laptop [20:41] a real recovery cd [20:42] kri: Then using it should install the bootloader. [20:42] no after installing the rescue cd, there is still grub starting :) [20:42] how do i install opera on hardy? didn't find it in the repositories [20:43] kri: Then the recovery CD doesn't deal with a bootloader, and even after clearing GRUB, you'll just not boot. but sure, just dd 0s over the first parts of sda and/or hda [20:43] hello [20:43] Flannel: I can't find "Local" or "Obsolete" in sections. [20:43] can someone help me with installing linux ? [20:43] Flannel: or anywhere else in synaptic for that matter. Did I overlook something? [20:43] happy love holiday from Israel [20:44] Hello ya'll. Can anybody tell me why synaptic touchpad is only recognized half the time? The other half of the time, I get a buttload of errors in xorg log, and GSynaptics options do not work until I reboot.... [20:44] bewst1: It's Local and obsolete. But... it might not be "sections" I haven't used synaptic in ages. It'll be in the left column, you'll see "installed" "not installed" etc. Its one of those, whatever "view by" that is. [20:44] bewst1: Also, you'll need to reload your package list, after removign the offending repositories. [20:44] Foxhound: What are you having issues with? [20:45] bewst1: use 'custom filters/broken' ? [20:45] Flannel, OK found it under "Status" (not sections) [20:45] bewst1: ah, status would make sense, yes. [20:46] i want to install Ubuntu and keep my windows, so i choosed "Manually" instead of "Guided" (for partition thing), then i choosed the partition but it says it have no root or something [20:46] Flannel: Yep, there they all are. Nice; I had pretty much given up on Synaptic; it's good to know that it's still useful for something [20:46] Flannel: thanks a lot! [20:46] i have an empty partition ready for ubuntu [20:46] Flannel: i found different options during the recovery, i will try another, maby that works, thx :) [20:46] Foxhound: You need to mark one partition as "/" (which is called "root") [20:47] i didnt understand you, im sorry [20:47] Foxhound: There should be a dropdown when creating the partitions for where you want to mount/use the partition. [20:47] Foxhound: Try installing the Wubi. You install to a file and then you don't mess up your boot loader. === newbyx86_ is now known as newbyx86 [20:47] i already have an empty parition, or should i make one using the installation CD ? [20:47] Gnea: don't mean to push you, just wondering if you received my last message, the link to the pastebin? [20:48] I'm awfully sorry -- I asked a question, it started to be answered, then I crashed. [20:48] Foxhound: http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu804installationguide-large_015.png "Mount Point" [20:48] Foxhound: Make one using the CD, even if you're just deleting/recreating one that you already have. [20:49] I hope it's not rude if I ask again from the beginning [20:49] Rhythmdvl: If you're sure its using samba to do the sharing (I have no idea re: DW), then you've got a samba permissions issue. [20:49] Does anyone else get jagged edges on icons/graphics in firefox? [20:49] It only happens for me in Ubuntu. [20:49] Flannel: oh, thanks for reposting! [20:50] Thanks Flannel, i'll go now retry the installation [20:50] hey [20:51] i want to change my theme [20:51] I need help with setting up a Netgear WG311T wireless PCI card on my Xubuntu 8.04 machine. [20:51] Flannel: I'm sure it's Samba that is letting us open/save files from the PC and Mac, that was worked out before I moved on to futzing with DW. Are you suggesting if I keep the LAN option for DW, I should take a closer look at Samba configuration? [20:52] delon, System -> Preferences -> Appearance [20:52] Rhythmdvl: Can you do the sorts of things you'd be doing with DW through samba with the normal ... er... operating system functionality? (through windows/OSX, not through DW) [20:52] The card is plugged in, it automatically installed the Atheros HAL and Atheros 802.11 card support drivers, but then won't let me join any networks. [20:52] Do I need to unplug my ethernet first? [20:53] Is there someone else who want's to help me with this problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37789/ ? [20:53] I can manipulate it (somewhat, with my lackluster skills) using the terminal, but the GUI won't let me do anything. [20:53] GuardCaptin: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [20:54] Flannel: Yes, I believe so. If I understand your question, from both PC and Mac, I can open, view, and save files on the Ubuntu box. The only thing I haven't tried is executing a file -- starting a process remotely. [20:54] I've rebooted the system since the drivers installed. Several times. [20:54] GourdCaptain* [20:54] When trying to play CS through wine in ubuntu 8.04 on my ATI Radeon X600 card I get this -> http://i36.tinypic.com/1agqh.jpg How can I solve this? [20:54] felix_: I think I can figure some stuff out, I'll need your system specs [20:54] C0nn0R: Yes? [20:54] C0nn0R, did you add the new iface eth? [20:54] Rhythmdvl: Right, that wouldn't be what DW was doing anyway. Oh, can you read/write to your /var/www? since it'd have different permissions, and is likely where DW is trying to access. [20:54] felix_: the answer is that your ubuntu and your BIOS aren't working nicely together [20:55] felix_: what's your computer model number? [20:55] what's the .thumbnails folder used for? it's 1.4GB on my system... [20:55] hi.. [20:55] hi every one [20:55] uuhh.. the "force quit" dialog is stuck on my screen [20:55] i can chat and ping any site from shall page but cant browes any page from any browser , it works some times and some times stop , i had this problem with many linux versions ,i tried fedora opensuse mandriva ubuntu and kubuntu but the same problem [20:56] kubuntu dont display panels what can i do? [20:56] i had problem with my network , i can chat and ping any site from shall page but cant browes any page from any browser , it works some times and some times stop , i had this problem with many linux versions ,i tried fedora opensuse mandriva ubuntu and kubuntu but the same problem [20:56] Mecha25: here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37796/ [20:56] Ayabara, I would imagine it's a cache of thumbnail versions of images on your system, to be viewed in any thumbnail viewing mode of your file manager. You can probably delete it. [20:56] mahmoud, are you dns working correctly? [20:56] When trying to play CS through wine in ubuntu 8.04 on my ATI Radeon X600 card I get this -> http://i36.tinypic.com/1agqh.jpg How can I solve this? [20:56] felix_: thats a nice box, wow. did you build it custom? [20:57] It still doesn't let me join any ssids. Or I just don't know how with the GUI, and just think I do. I tried a program called Wcid that put the networking up, but I couldn't get the wired up, and the interface refused to reload after I used it. So I reinstalled network manager. [20:57] kubuntu dont display panels what i need do? [20:57] Mecha25: yes, thank you [20:57] carlosf: i dont know [20:57] Flannel: ah... that's something. No, I don't think I can. I have Samba set up to a folder inside the /home directory. (I wish you could see the lightbulb going off over my head at the momement.) Since Apache sets up by default to run in /var/www, I need to add that directory to Samba's config file. Is that right? Or, if I'm trying to keep things neat, would it make sense to edit the Apache config file to point to /home/shared? [20:57] felix_: do you know your bios chip model and number? [20:58] hello [20:58] Grackle: thought so. wonder if there's a way to delete it and keep it from growing large again [20:58] Mecha25: I documented some chip id's, hold on I'll see if I can look them up [20:58] Ayabara, maybe something can be done using gconf-editor. I'll take a look. [20:58] Rhythmdvl: Uh, I'm not really too familiar with samba, but with normal permissions, you'd add yourself to the www-data (thats the apache user) group, and then make /var/www writable by group, so your user would be able to write to it [21:00] can i undo this command [21:00] sudo ln -s /dev/video /dev/video0 [21:00] Flannel: wow, fantastic ... thank you very much!!!! [21:00] Grackle: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/2472/ [21:00] I'm off to poke around ... [21:01] how fix panels [21:01] SPhcT: you might want to ask in #kubuntu [21:02] it make no diference [21:02] Ayabara, hmm, I guess that script will have to do for now. You could also disable thumbnailers in gconf-editor. /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers [21:02] Mecha25: The BIOS is flashed to this version: AwardBIOS 1.B [21:02] it is the same as ubuntu only [21:02] Can anybody explain to me why an XFS filesystem can be full, after I delete a lot of stuff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37801/ ? [21:02] SPhcT: yes, it does. Kubuntu's panel system is completely different from ubuntu's. KDE vs Gnome [21:02] Mecha25: I've got no details about the chip, but perhaps this is of some use: http://www.lejabeach.com/MSIK8N/k8nneo4ultra/k8nneo4.html [21:02] executionist: Ok, I'll be honest: ln confuses the &^%$%$# out of me. Did you create a file /dev/video that links to /dev/video0? [21:02] I have an RFID reader, and the software for it is asking for its location. Is there a command to tell me the last device connected? [21:03] Okay, apparently the Wcid glitches I've experienced are fixed in the latest version. I think. I'll try that, unless anyone has any objections? [21:03] how reset kubuntu desktop [21:03] hello everybody [21:04] felix_: ok, here's what you can do. Figure out the make and model of your BIOS chip, then google it, along with "Ubuntu Sleep Problems" [21:04] Ok, thanks! [21:04] you'll probably be able to find a tutorial of how to flash it to a BIOS version that ubuntu will work with [21:05] lol [21:05] Hey lads, thinking of setting up 8.04 running on parrallels on a Mac Book pro. Ever heard of any issues with it? [21:06] SPhcT: seriously, ask in #kubuntu, they should be able to tell you in like 10 seconds. I have no clue, I've never used KDE [21:06] !id | rico [21:06] rico: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [21:06] Mecha25 everyone sleep there [21:06] Sounds like 7.04 works fine that way, but not 7.10. Just curious about it really [21:06] I have an RFID reader, and the software for it is asking for its location. Is there a command to tell me the last device connected? [21:06] SPhcT: that sucks. You can always google it [21:06] hey, i havle a problem with getting xp to run in a virtual machine [21:07] When trying to play CS through wine in ubuntu 8.04 on my ATI Radeon X600 card I get this -> http://i36.tinypic.com/1agqh.jpg How can I solve this? [21:07] konstanty: sometimes you can see kernel messages about device connects when you look at the tail of dmesg. [21:07] i need help please. i added this as a mistake [21:07] sudo ln -s /dev/video /dev/video0 [21:07] i will put on xp it is better and i can fix it if it crashes [21:07] Gnea,bazhang i'm back: i've tried that parameter lapic but i dont see any real improvements :/ [21:07] now it has been selected as my tv card source which is wrong [21:07] What's the Gedit plug-in that provides tab auto-completion when writing code? [21:07] SPhcT: go with what works [21:08] HEy when ever i try to install Ubuntu on virtual Box it gives me DRDY error [21:08] greetings [21:08] How can you stop having dmesg spammed with packet info? [21:08] hell [21:08] hello [21:08] hey cyphase are you at the keys? [21:08] :) [21:09] Gnea: sorry if before i taked so much time to do that failing-dmesg but i didn't recognized that i was using the 8.04 livecd (is more heavy), instead of 7.10 [21:09] Since when does LEFT CLICKING open a menu from a system tray icon? [21:09] Shaba1: yes [21:09] issue solved. I need 7.04.... [21:09] I check dmesg when I do hw checks or plug things into USB. But it seems like it's constantly filled with packet/network info [21:09] * GourdCaptain got network manager to work by that simple step. /me groans. === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [21:09] Well, this channel is pretty much very good at ignoring me. [21:10] What do you need GourdC?

[21:10] top [21:10] top [21:10] gregL: there's a panel applet [21:10] or apt-get install gkrellm :) [21:11] What's the Gedit plug-in that provides tab auto-completion when writing code? === todd is now known as Guest81984 [21:11] Gmea have you read that i have tried the "lapic" parameter? ah, so have you any advice on how to solve of the non-working all-generic_ide in hardy?

[21:12] is there a way to display the external IP ONLY in a terminal with a command (or an alias)? [21:12] How can you tell where a USB palm is attached?

[21:13] good night [21:14] how can i get sound when playing flv files [21:14] Guest81984, asking again isn't going to help. However, asking in #ffmpeg may produce results.

[21:19] you are about as humous as me cyphase. Which is not at all [21:19] Mecha25: it's such a pain to set up, no i haven't tried. [21:19] anyone know how to disable the usage of NFSv4 ? [21:20] well, if you can get that going, you should be able to tell whether it's a problem with the GUI, your phone, or the program itself. [21:20] Shaba1: don't judge me on just that [21:20] ahh :( [21:20] a lot of times, the base program works fine, but the GUI causes problems [21:20] Mecha25, cyphase: it's like, displaying most of it in chinese characters. and all that stuff was in english. [21:20] Shaba1: i'm actually quite funny [21:20] sinn3rman: you're using an english based version of Ubuntu, right? [21:20] Sinn3rman: i don't know anything about wammu [21:20] Mecha25: well, like i said, it retrieves everything fine, even the numbers from the text messages, just not the alphabets themselves.

With compiz fusion effects set to "none", the desktop works fine after restart.. What could be the problem and how can I fix this? [21:29] mizipzor, it's an issue with wine [21:29] mizipzor: no..just make sure you use "-dxlevel 80" or 81 [21:30] afallenhope, Fredd, Don't think, it's a router issue, since it seems to work as root.

[21:31] mizipzor: 1 [21:31] :) [21:31] daemon3, anything in the logs? try running it from command line? [21:32] mizipzor: yes.. i usually run 80 the only difference for ME is 80 gives me around 70 fps and 81 gives me 50 with my 8800 gts [21:32] It will take a while beofore it crashes. [21:32] But it is annoying. [21:32] daemon3, or try from command line 'gedit filename.txt' [21:32] see if that outputs anything [21:32] desertmax: im pretty sure its not [21:32] Fredd: ok, thanks [21:32] hello [21:33] does anyone know if I can have several volumes mounted without showing the icons on the desktop?

[21:35] please tell me what /dev/video is [21:36] Ok farabap then what [21:36] daemon3: And running from the command line gives you what? [21:36] eligos: no, you can turn off the icons and keep them mounted, I forget how, I just know you can [21:36] gedit: command not found.

[21:36] isharis: I give it a 90% chance it is, what video card do you have? [21:36] No GUI. [21:36] Mecha25: Nvidia 8500GT [21:36] daemon3: Right... use gedit on your local machine, through the command line. [21:36] daemon3, then how does gedit crash when you try to use it? [21:37] THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, Flannel. [21:37] Sorry for "yelling." [21:37] mecha25: ok, but if it's possible I'll look for the way, thanks dude [21:37] guys I know this is a naive newbie question. But other then trying to keep users from doing thing that could hurt thier systems without knowing it why does ubuntu requir sudo for just about anything [21:37] deeperror: I don't know what I do. It just randomly crashes. [21:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwZD59Ic9T8 [21:37] eligos, open gconf-editor: press ALT+F2, enter gconf-editor and hit run. [21:37] isharis: I use ATI, I wouldn't know where to start for fixing nvidia compatibility [21:37] what does this command do exactly [21:37] daemon3: No, that's not what you're saying. We're not suggesting you run gedit remotely, we're suggesting you run it locally, but through the command line, instead of clicking an icon. [21:37] sudo ln -s /dev/video /dev/video0 [21:37] It's a small annoyance, though. [21:38] Oh, duh. Can't believe I didn't think of that (or listen). Thanks.

I notice xsensors is saying my -12V is at -20 and my -5V is at -2.5. I tried replacing the power supply thinking this was definitely the problem but with the new one my numbers didn't change. Anyone have some light they could shed on this? [22:23] moccuo; ubuntu is not debian or arch linux [22:23] gunbert: and change that to like "files" or w\e i want no directory location needed? [22:23] ey i got a question, i have two .inf files, ones called netathr.inf and the other is called netatherx.inf which one is suited for linux [22:23] Mecha25: there's #Ubuntu-eg .. but we left it recently .. he might find 1 or 2 idle guys there [22:23] ah [22:23] bastid_raZor: yea, i just thought there might be a config file i need to set something for it.. guess not then? === LuCiD|g00nie is now known as LuCiD|m00ng00nie [22:23] guntbert: i send you the result [22:24] Mecha25: it won't be of much use anyways [22:24] Mecha25: direct him to #EgLUG [22:24] al-mothafar: #EgLUG [22:24] al-mothafar: #EgLUG [22:24] Does anybody have freebsd7+pptp authing against AD? === john183 is now known as john183_ [22:24] hahaha [22:24] Fredd: change that to the new name you want to use [22:24] moccuo; possibly compare your .bashrc files in debian or arch against ubuntu's.. [22:24] Mecha25: I'm sure he won't understand [22:24] CVirus: we can hope === john183_ is now known as john183 [22:25] Fredd, just the name (e.g. files), not the whole path (e.g. /media/files) [22:25] mahmoud: so DNS is working for you - good [22:25] ok what is the problem [22:26] bastid_raZor: actually, bash will autocomplete other things (apt-cache policy libg brings up a large list) [22:26] desrtmax: u sure? cuz the original mount point was /media/My Files/ [22:26] Fredd, yes, I am sure. [22:26] mahmoud: I'm thinking - stand by [22:26] bastid_raZor: the question is, is he using bash or dash? [22:26] Hey ya'll. Looking for a way to disable my touchpad. Found: sudo modprobe -r psmouse ...it works but how do I save so that I don't have to re-enter the command every time I reboot? [22:26] add psmouse to the blacklist [22:27] what mean of stand by [22:27] Fredd, btw, the information is stored in gconf (System, storage, volumes). If you ever mess something up, like using /media/files as mount-point, you may open gconf-editor and go there to fix any errors. [22:27] trikdo: you can put that in a shellscript and have it run through the gnome-sessions system [22:27] Fredd, and remount the device, so the changes can take effect. :-) [22:27] or there might just be a button you can push on your laptop [22:27] <_vvd> trikdo: blacklist psmouse [22:27] trikdo: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [22:27] yeah i did mess up [22:27] trikdo: then add psmouse to that list [22:27] trying to connect freenode by irssi I get this message:Hmmm, that wasn't the right password -!- ERROR Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Bad Password) [22:28] where is this gconf-editor? [22:28] mahmoud: I wanted that you wait [22:28] press ALT+F2 and enter gconf-editor. Hit run! [22:28] can anybody tell me how I can connect? [22:28] Fredd, Go to system, storage, volumes [22:28] omg [22:28] Thank you everybody! :) Rebooting now... [22:29] Fredd, then to _org_... and change the mount-point option to files. [22:29] done [22:29] now how do i remount? [22:29] Hi! Can someone please tell me, what it takes to add a package to an ubuntu repository? [22:29] since the device failed to mount, you can simply reconnect it. [22:30] mahmoud: what browser do you use [22:30] kaur: you need to get it approved by ubuntu devs, making a PPA on launchpad would be easier [22:30] firefox now [22:30] but i tried many ones [22:30] Mecha25, PPA? [22:30] kaur: personal package archive [22:30] !prefix | mahmoud [22:30] mahmoud: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:30] Mecha25, Hm... [22:30] desertmax: i went "mount /dev/sdb1" but now its mounted back to the same place /media/My Files [22:31] Mecha25, I'll look into it. Thanks [22:31] no problem, good luck [22:31] mahmoud: what happens, when you want to open http://netzmafia.de ? [22:31] desertmax: if you don't provide a mountpoint, it will mount to where it's specified in fstab [22:31] !info git [22:31] git (source: git): GNU Interactive Tools, a file browser/viewer and process viewer/killer. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.3.20-12 (hardy), package size 259 kB, installed size 992 kB [22:31] desertmax: or do i need to restart the machine? [22:32] Mecha25, One more question though... How can I get the devs to approve the package? [22:32] i need a program to add tags to my photos, any suggestions? [22:32] Fredd, Could you check the "Volume"-Tab again? [22:32] that I have no clue on, what does it do exactly? [22:32] Fredd, edit /etc/fstab [22:32] desertmax: yeah the mount point is "files" [22:32] kaur: talk to the MOTU [22:32] adude: fspot, it's included by default [22:32] Dj-Pyro: sec [22:32] adude: I suggest you try Gimp [22:32] Fredd: that line i directed toward desertmax was meant for you, sorry [22:33] if it's right in /etc/fstab then just do mount /mnt/files [22:33] Mecha25, It is actually not written by me at all... But it is a tool for the NXT brick [22:33] adude: GIMP is for editing, f-spot is under Applications -> Graphics [22:33] Fredd: That's odd, I did the same thing and it worked for me. [22:33] hey... Anybody know how to get Ubuntu to INSTALL on a X7SBL-LN2 board? (Supermicro) [22:33] fspot does not work for me [22:33] kaur: oh! you're trying to get it, not to distribute it? [22:33] Daisuke_Laptop: where? [22:34] Mecha25, I am trying to distribute it... [22:34] mahmoud: what happens, when you want to open http://netzmafia.de ? [22:34] Dj-Pyro: now just change arg 2? [22:34] adude: Have you tried Picasa? [22:34] kaur: sorry, we get so many people in here asking "how do I install " [22:34] Mecha25, Np [22:34] Fredd: [17:31:49] desertmax: if you don't provide a mountpoint, it will mount to where it's specified in fstab [22:34] !motu | kaur [22:34] kaur: 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 [22:34] Fredd, yeah, be very careful though [22:34] kaur: there you go [22:34] hi [22:35] i did probide a mountpoint [22:35] it load for too long time and stop after that [22:35] Dj-Pyro: what u mean careful? i see some funny looking 040 [22:35] !prefix | mahmoud [22:35] Mecha25, Thanaks [22:35] mahmoud: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:35] HAPPY CLOCK DAY UBUNTU IRC CHAT [22:35] ok, i just set up my mac to share files and printing under system, preferences, is there a program on ubuntu so i can access it? [22:35] Fredd: i missed that, all you said was you entered "mount /dev/sdb1" [22:35] mahmoud: no error message? [22:35] Fredd, don't play with anything other than your /mnt/files endpoint, screwing up one of the other ones that contains your root FS can be a bad surprise when you reboot next [22:35] gunbert: i dont even have that tab option in konversation [22:36] alright im editing it now in gedit [22:36] BikerGeek: do i have to download from google? [22:36] Fredd: ??? [22:36] hi [22:36] gunbert: what? [22:36] where are ".deb" packages of apt-get install stored? [22:36] /var/cache/apt/archives [22:36] orgthingy, /var/cache/apt [22:36] and, i want to "repair" my ubuntu because it isnt working anymore :'( [22:36] how can i 'repair" it if thats possible ? [22:37] thanks DJ [22:37] ok now a simple mount /dev/drive would do the work right? no need for the second arg? [22:37] orgythingy: did you hard-reboot during an upgrade or an install? [22:37] i have just installed Ubuntu 8 in my system and having problem with the sound [22:37] guntbert: after long time apperes massege [22:37] Fredd, correct [22:37] Fredd: you told me someting about konversation [22:37] Mecha25 : its just i always skip the "checking" or "scanning" of hda6 at startup [22:37] No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [22:37] what is this? [22:37] orgthingy: that depends entirely on what's wrong with it. [22:37] and i think by skipping it, i damaged my hda6 :'( [22:37] orgthingy: you are asking "how do I fix my car" [22:38] orgythingy: that shouldn't be a problem... did you do a hard reboot? [22:38] gunbert: yeah i dont have the tab feature..you were saying !prefix and prefix pointed out to use tab..but some irc clients dont have that feature [22:38] mahmoud: message about what? [22:38] car? [22:38] orgything: he's making a metaphor [22:38] burhan: clearly his car is linux powered [22:38] welp, looks like my keyboard issue is 100% kde 4.1 related :/ [22:38] guntbert: it didnt appear till now [22:38] is there a way to make new ubuntu installation BUT with my last ubuntu-files ? [22:38] like, pictures and stuff? [22:38] form time you send me the site name [22:38] orgythingy: you can make a separate /home partition, that should keep most of it [22:38] yes it appered now [22:39] hmm [22:39] Connection Interrupted [22:39] or you can just backup and reinstall, which is what I did when my packagess broke [22:39] I'm looking to "burn" subtitles into a video. What software would I use? [22:39] mahmoud: ok, try something different, do you have lynx or w3m? [22:39] The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. [22:39] orgythingy: NEVER hard-reboot during an upgrade or install. I learned that the hard way [22:39] alright thank you guys all for the helping, luv this channel ;] [22:39] i dont now lynx or w3m [22:39] oh my [22:39] guntbert: i dont know lynx or w3m [22:39] so, I think that I had to burn my files into CDs then reinstall :S [22:40] but, before i do it, maybe someone knows how to help me :P [22:40] mahmoud: apt-get install w3m (its a browser for the console/shell) [22:40] mahmoud-> those are non gui browser, btw lynx has been supplanted by elink [22:40] orgythingy: there is a way to put your /home directory into a separate partition, that should keep you from having to burn too many CD's, I forget where the tutorial on that is [22:40] !home [22:40] Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For mounting your home folder on a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [22:40] bingo! [22:41] orgythingy: follow that link, it should give you what you want [22:41] hello [22:41] http://www.pennergame.de/change_please/1933371/ [22:41] http://www.pennergame.de/change_please/1933371/ [22:41] http://www.pennergame.de/change_please/1933371/ [22:41] Gast_340_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:41] _vvd: need man page for nodeadkeys keymap, not familiar with it. [22:42] somebody kick Gast, that's spam [22:42] it's a german nightlife site [22:42] Mecha25: Done. [22:42] if i accidentally do a bad command.. like move a ton of random files into /. is there an easy way to undo it? [22:42] * Mecha25 feels like he has just called down an air strike [22:42] <_vvd> jcarter: use Option ""XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" in xorg.conf section [22:42] Fredd: that (prefix) wasn't directed at you [22:42] <_vvd> keyboard [22:43] moccuo: in general no [22:43] <_vvd> err keyboard section [22:43] moccuo; not really.. just move them back. [22:43] guntbert: i sent you the result [22:43] gunbert: oh lol just saw it didn read anything before it [22:43] long shot, but can anyone here explain to me how key presses on the keyboard get mapped to keycodes by the kernel? [22:43] How do I install "Kernel Modules"? [22:43] Mecha25: I was typing the command to kick him while you sent those messages ;-). Don't wory. [22:43] Hello. After installing nvidia driver vis Envy, when I move the cursor to the riht of title bar the bar turns to white and icons disappear, title bar gets jammed. Any idea? [22:44] mahmoud: good, please try: w3m netzmafia.de [22:44] hehehe [22:44] guntbert: in shell page ? [22:44] mahmoud: yes in shell [22:44] marenostrum: that's a problem with either Metacity or Emerald, depending on which you use [22:44] _vvd: Okay, now where is xorg.conf? [22:44] How do I connect to a printer that is being shared. The printer is connected to a Mac, and is able to be shared, Im just unsure on how to connect to to it nw. [22:44] Thank you flannel, i installed Ubuntu successfully [22:45] @Mecha25 : Thanks. Do you know what to do? [22:45] <_vvd> jcarter: /etc/X11/xorg.con [22:45] <_vvd> f [22:45] marenostrum: no clue, I've never seen that before. I do know it's either Emerald or Metacity causing it though [22:45] or use the command "locate" [22:45] justin_: ok, you want to use Samba I think, unless Mac uses something different [22:45] guntbert: it said "netzmafia.de contacted. Waiting for reply..." [22:45] @Mecha25 : Thaks a lot. [22:46] guys, im new here and just installed ubuntu few minutes ago, anyone here can help a newb with his new beggining ? ^.^ [22:46] justin_: open Network, under Places in your menu [22:46] foxhound: sure thing [22:46] thx [22:46] Mecha25, Sorry for all the questions that are the same, and i believe you told me to use samba already, now am I supposed to use samba on my linux box, becuase mac already has options to let you share the printer and folders [22:46] foxhound, type /msg Mecha25 [22:46] mahmoud: but page never comes? [22:47] guntbert: no pages comes [22:47] guntbert: no pages come [22:47] _vdd: Thanks. Added. Guess I have to restart X now? [22:47] justin: samba is the linux utility that lets you connect to other printers or computers for file or printer sharing [22:47] Mecha25, oh ok, i see some stuff, do i drag and drop what i want printed into the folder? [22:47] what do you see? [22:47] <_vvd> jcarter: yep [22:47] when I "apt-get install -d package-name", where will the packages be sent? [22:48] does anyone know a good music player besides audacius? [22:48] eligos: exaile [22:48] eligos: if you want TOTAL library control, go with Quod Libet [22:48] apt-get install --download-only [22:48] mahmoud: type: printenv|grep -i proxy what does it say? [22:48] it's slow, but it does absolutely everything [22:48] hi there :) quick question - i'm trying to take a screenshot, normally i hit 'prtsc' and it just works - suddenly it's not - any ideas what might have changed? [22:48] Mecha25, ipod folder, a "mac0293283823" folder and a windows network icon [22:48] there is also songbird [22:48] ok, open the mac folder [22:49] guntbert: it didnt say any thing [22:49] songbird is slow and buggy for me, but it runs on anything [22:49] Mecha25, nothings in it. [22:49] guntbert: i send you the result [22:49] justin_: ok, try the windows network icon [22:49] anyone got some good wardriving hardware to recommend ? (pcmcia with external antenna jack) [22:49] Mecha25, nothing in that also [22:49] mahmoud: I see ..., let me think [22:49] ok [22:49] i wait you [22:50] To install my video driver I need to go to Synaptic Package manager and install "Linux Kernel Headers"(according to a thread on Ubuntu Forums). But there are a bunch of them. Also the installation says I havn't installed the latest "kernel modules" [22:50] Quod Libet??? [22:50] sorry, my question then is, how exactly do I install "Linux Kernel Headers". [22:50] what's that? [22:50] whats the package name that lets you add the desktop switcher to the gnome panel? [22:50] perillux: you shouldn't need to install kernel headers for a video card, use the Restricted Driver Manager [22:51] eligos: a very very awesome music manager and player === CBoss is now known as Heikus [22:51] ok I'll give it a shot [22:51] mahmoud: my last one: type telnet netzmafia.de 80 - what does it say? [22:52] Mecha25: I'm using an old ATI card, nothing shows up in Restricted Driver manager but: Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL)" [22:52] Fredd: you right click on the panel, choose Add to Panel, then choose from there [22:52] Lusule, start gnome-keybinding-properties (System -> Settings -> Keybinding blahblah) and search the entry "Take a screenshot". Click on it and then click on the prtscr-key. [22:52] perillux: what card specifically? [22:52] thingfish: it doesnt seem to be there [22:52] Mecha25: RADEON IGP 345M [22:52] thingfish: well i already dont have it on my gnome panel [22:53] Fredd: you don't see Workplace Switcher? [22:53] Mecha25: I'm trying to follow this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221672&highlight=7000VE [22:53] Fredd: did you do like I said, rt-click on the panel? [22:53] desertmax: it's set to that, but nothing happens when i hit prtsc [22:53] guntbert: i sent you the result [22:53] thingfish: nvm i do see workplace switcher i was just searching for a different name [22:53] mahmoud: I see ..., let me think [22:53] ok [22:54] thingfish: thx [22:54] Fredd: no problem [22:55] Lusule, If you set it to something different, like ALT+s, does it work then? [22:55] desertmax: i was able to take one using the command 'gnome-panel-screenshot --delay 10' but i'd love to know why prtsc didn't work [22:55] desertmax: hmm don't know i'll try [22:56] perillux: that manual is for Dapper, which is WAY old [22:56] hmm I seem to have hosed my manpages [22:56] mahmoud: between netzmafia.de and 80 there must be a blank ok? [22:56] perillux: chances are it won't even work with 8.04 [22:56] desertmax: no, setting it to somethign else still doesn't work [22:56] _vdd: I rebooted (not knowing exactly how to restart X) and I still have the ´ problem. [22:56] $man man gives error:"sh: vimpager: command not found" [22:56] guntbert: yes [22:56] daedra:... that's a problem [22:57] Mecha25: I was aware of that, but shouldn't it still work. It's the same driver version in that link, they havn't updated it. [22:57] mahmoud: ls -l /etc/services [22:57] perillux: nope, dapper and Hardy are way different with respect to drivers [22:57] Mecha25: also, some people using Dapper have got the same error as me [22:58] Can someone help me with switching from live to full [22:58] Mecha25: I'd like to try anyway, but I don't know what "Linux Kernel Headers" to install [22:58] mahmoud: looks good, please grep -i http /etc/services [22:59] If I have Unbuntu Live on a flash drive, and I choose to Install Linux, will it install ON the flash drive [22:59] guntbert: i dont understand that [22:59] mahmoud: type in the shell: grep -i http /etc/services [23:00] wpcvenom: you're booting from the flash drive? then it shouldn't install on the drive it's booting from, no [23:00] can any1 help me make a liveusb out of a iso image??

[23:21] bozrob: install Virtualbox and then install Ubuntu.

[23:21] Slart: I got weird results with the command, and it still downloaded the page :S what I am trying to do is to get my external IP, I created a file with a php script in it that returns the external IP, and now I want to retrieve that IP via the terminal [23:22] So, anyone? [23:22] Hi, anyone know of a WM or panel plugin that behaves like Windowlab's launcher/listbar? [23:22] dlemcoe: have you been compiling things? [23:22] AzizLight: is this for some kind of script because if you just want the ip address you can go to a number of sites that will tell you your external ip [23:22] No [23:23] Jowi: I use virtualbox [23:23] jrib: I went ./configure on PyGTK's souce, yers [23:23] favro: yes [23:23] jrib: I went ./configure on PyGTK's souce, yes [23:23] dlemcoe: pastebin the output of: python -c 'import sys; print sys.path' [23:23] where is the default text stored that is displayed when you ssh into a fresh ubuntu box? [23:23] Snares: I know but what I want is my external IP in a terminal... [23:23] AzizLight: are you just looking to find your own external ip? if so.. take a look at this page http://whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp [23:23] seekingtruth; virtualbox is a virtal machine not a window manager.. [23:23] AzizLight: you could always copy paste the ip into the terminal if it's just a one time thing... [23:23] seekingtruth, that reply was or someone else I hope [23:23] bastid_raZor: you are correct, im glad to see you are learning :) [23:23] AzizLight: if you still want to find your ip inside that source code I'd suggesting doing some filtering with grep [23:24] Jowi: so try that [23:24] http://pastebin.ca/1173519 [23:24] seekingtruth; and sadly you are not.

[23:24] Slart: yeah I know about whatismyip, I'm trying to reproduce this in php, take a look, http://myip.freezoka.com/ [23:24] bastid_raZor: i am learning more than you know, about people, and their nature and character [23:24] how do i change the default mount permissions for filesystems mounted via places -> removable devices? and also, if i have an ntfs partition with files marked as readonly there, how to i make those files behave as readonly? because at the moment the default is read-write for all users. [23:24] seekingtruth, you don't have to answer if you do not understand the question [23:24] /usr/local/bin/python [23:24] okay so I can play media through streaming media in firefox with sound, however when I try to play mp3 files using rhythm box it doesnt work [23:25] Slart: all that I need now is get the IP via a terminal command (or an alias) [23:25] AzizLight: seems to be working nicely here [23:25] dlemcoe: get rid of your compiled python [23:25] ubuntu 6.06LTS, just tried to dist-upgrade it from kernel 2.6.15-26 to -52, (on a Dell 2950 with Perc5i) but on reboot, it couldn't find /dev/sdg1. How do I fix this? [23:25] Hi everyone, I just had the unfortunate realization that Adobe Reader doesn't work on 64-bit Linux... is there anywhere where I can get a list of other such programs that are unsupported? Alternatively, can someone suggest to me a way to get Adobe Reader to work (I'm more interested in workarounds to get Adobe Reader working, and less regarding alternative PDF readers) [23:25] okay [23:25] jrib: Is there a command for that? [23:25] bastid_raZor: success in life is not about knowledge about Ubuntu, success is about learning how to treat people with respect, love and kindess. Something that is foreign to you. [23:25] dlemcoe: go to the directory where you typed 'make install' for python and try 'make uninstall' [23:25] is seekingtruth a bot? [23:25] Why does flv file play so slowly? [23:25] thanks [23:25] favro: I've been looking up these files and I keep seeing things saying that "it's supposed to turn config.in into config.h [23:25] Slart: what do you mean??

[23:40] cool deal [23:40] thanks [23:40] does anyone know why CONFIG_MD_RAID10 is not selected in hardy's kernel image? === LuCiD|Awahey is now known as LuCiD|m000n [23:40] WDC: you get lots of hits for your error. One suggests it's an old bug [23:40] Slade: in some configurations, X forwarding is disabled in the sshd config. If it is, you have to edit that file and restart the ssh daemon [23:40] hmm [23:40] I see === crd1b is now known as crdlb [23:40] So, just download the new DVD and I can update liek that? [23:41] WDC: well that would be one solution [23:41] !upgrade > WDC [23:41] WDC, please see my private message [23:41] Slade, the ssh server must support X forwarding (might be deactivated on some distros by default) [23:41] Terrasque: Cool thanks. It's working. is there anyway to specify the user and pass via commandline? [23:42] WDC: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libcairo/+bug/6449 [23:42] Launchpad bug 6449 in libcairo "Application crashes with "/usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden"" [Undecided,New] [23:42] Slade: man ssh ...or just use -l [23:42] jrib: Cool thanks. Glad it's not me! [23:43] guys i am trying to install ubuntu 8.04.1 with usb i followed the process given in the wiki i am getting an error " could not find kernel image : linux " [23:43] kindly help [23:43] Slade: for ssh? user can be changed with user@server - for password.. I would recommend you check ssh-agent, ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id [23:43] WDC: you might be able to get away with finding an update for your freetype package but I don't have a gutsy system to check for you [23:43] chris_goe: thanks. wish i could specify a password too via commandline :) [23:43] Slade: no, you don't :-) [23:43] jrib: Oh cool [23:43] use ssh keys... [23:44] guys please help me make a liveusb image from an iso image [23:44] Slade: there's even a pam module that will unlock your ssh keys with your login password and run ssh-agent every time you log in. That's luxury :) [23:44] i followed wiki instructions but i am getting an error [23:44] chris_goe using ssh keys will stop it from prompting me for a password? [23:44] shishirm1: I had trouble with usb installation. Some set of instructions don't specify how to wipe and reformat the usb drive fully [23:44] shishirm1: looks like read errros to me....that's why it throws an error..? [23:45] where can i get the latest version of this? wget -c http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz [23:45] shishirm1: but saying "the wiki page" is useless. Specify the URL of the page [23:45] <_vvd> shishirm1: probably a wrong device.map [23:45] how do i setup bind so i can use my server in resolv.conf ? [23:45] !usb [23:45] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:45] those are the urls [23:45] Slade: if you use password-less keys or make use of ssh-agent like another dude here suggested... [23:45] yes [23:45] _vvd: [23:45] zzl: I imagine if you go to madwifi.org and search for their repository [23:45] hi [23:45] my kaffeine program see dvb kart [23:45] have signal but not add channel list [23:45] jrib: Why don't I have an update manager in the Admin tab? [23:45] I got here [23:45] http://madwifi.org/ticket/1192 [23:45] Slade: you create a ssh keypair (ssh-keygen), copy the pub key to the server (ssh-copy-id does that for you), and ssh-agent will load them into memory and auto sign in with those keys [23:45] osfameron: that is the url [23:45] WDC: might not have been there in gutsy [23:45] but they're just readme [23:46] jrib: it was according to: 18:33 < messiah> I want register this nick but it is already registered... [23:46] jrib: hmm. Sorry wrong paste [23:46] jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [23:46] <_vvd> shishirm1: so you have linux on the stick with grub but it wont boot the kernel? [23:47] think so [23:47] <_vvd> bu grub loads [23:47] shishirm1: cool. I just searched, can't find the instructions I used (I didn't bookmark in delicious, sorry). Only advice I have is to try different instructions, as some cookbooks are more complete [23:47] <_vvd> but [23:47] zzl: madwifi.org has a big arrow that says "Download latest release" [23:47] but i am not sure about grub i [23:47] jrib: can you link me to that page? [23:47] zzl: madwifi.org ? [23:48] where exactly is the kernel image in the live cd and what is its name usually? [23:48] woops. nevermind [23:48] WDC: are you running xubuntu or kubuntu instead of ubuntu? [23:49] 3No [23:49] No* [23:49] WDC: can you run 'update-manager' in a shell? [23:50] <_vvd> shishirm1: well, do you get the grub menu that is configured on the stick? if yes, you are already booting from it and probably only need to fix the device.map file [23:50] hold on [23:51] jrib: no [23:51] WDC: what happens when you try? [23:51] jrib: When i got to apt get it it gives an error. hold on === WDC is now known as WDC_ === WDC_ is now known as WDC [23:52] jrib: it's just not there [23:52] _vvd: i get only syslinux 3.11 Debian bla bla bla then a boot: (prompt) [23:52] jrib: When I try to install, it gives me: http://pastebin.ca/1173549 [23:52] WDC: what is the output when you type 'update-manager'? [23:53] The program 'update-manager' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [23:53] shishirm1: And if you hit enter? [23:53] apt-get install update-manager [23:53] <_vvd> hmm, no grub then i guess :) [23:53] WDC: Are you using Kubuntu? [23:53] WDC: you gave me the wrong paste [23:53] Is it possible to adjust the time between slides in f-spot? [23:53] I see a TCP LISTEN port that has no PID/Program-name associated with it when I do a "netstat -a -p" and I wonder how to find the program attached to it? (ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS) [23:53] Flannel: no [23:53] could not find kernel image linux [23:53] jrib: sorry http://pastebin.ca/1173549 [23:54] Swish, try sudo netstat -tlpn [23:54] WDC: still wrong one [23:54] Flannel: that is the error message could not find kernel image and goes on reapeating [23:54] hi people, [23:54] nickrud, same [23:54] WDC: install ubuntu-desktop [23:54] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:35939 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - [23:54] i'm trying to compile the ffmpeg svn snapshot following the steps shown at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg [23:54] Flannel: any suggestions?? [23:54] the port was different before I rebooted, which I also find weird. [23:54] Swish, very strange to me. Never seen that that I remember [23:54] but couldnt apt-get libfaad2-dev [23:55] shishirm1: Nope. Did you follow the wiki page? [23:55] nickrud, I mean, a 'service' that changes ports after reboot? sounds sketchy to me :) [23:55] nikre: because there is no such package [23:55] Flannel, what? That was when I tried to install update-manager like Terminal told me [23:55] For dual-booting XP & Ubuntu, what I'd like to do is set up a mere 10 GB XP partition, 10 GB for Ubuntu root, then the rest of the hard drive for /home. Using the ext3 filesystem driver for XP, would it be feasible to install and run games directly from my XP-mounted /home drive (probably mounted to E:\ or F:\). Anyone know of any problems, caveats, or issues that this may cause? [23:55] WDC: Thats still the wrong paste. But, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [23:55] ubuntu wiki says there is :S [23:55] hey how do i remove programs that are in an "other" category [23:55] ? [23:55] nikre: you're on 8.04 right? [23:56] how can i check it [23:56] !version | nikre [23:56] nikre: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [23:56] Swish, i see that with netstat -tlpn, but I see pids/programs with sudo netstat -tlpn [23:56] i dl'd this yesterday [23:56] yes i did [23:56] Hi all.. I'm having some trouble with ubuntu and apache.. and password protecting some directories.. anyone in here familiar with that process? [23:56] <_vvd> shishirm1: man syslinux ^^) [23:56] whats the package name got codecs used by rhythmbox? [23:56] fot* [23:56] !restricted > Wineo [23:56] Wineo, please see my private message [23:56] for* [23:56] OldToker: Theres a number of ways to do that, easiest/simplest is with .htacces [23:57] Flannel: when trying to install anything with apt-get I get: [23:57] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:57] 2.6.24-19-server [23:57] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [23:57] _vvd: do find what? [23:57] WDC: Alright, do you have some other package manager open? [23:57] close synaptics window [23:57] i got same error 2 min before [23:57] nikre: that's not the command it told you to type [23:57] anything better than crossover by code weavers? [23:57] Flannel: *facepalm* My bad yah I do [23:57] <_vvd> shishirm1: so you can configure it maybe [23:57] what is a good video editor? [23:57] Flannel, Correct.. that's what I have gotten so far.. I created the .htpasswd file and dropped the .htaccess file into the directory I wanted to protect.. but no login box comes up.. [23:58] computer: Good is great for questions like that [23:58] computer: kino, pitivi, avidemux [23:58] I don't know if there's something wrong in my serverconfig.. [23:58] <_vvd> shishirm1: looks like syslinux cannot find the kernel right? so, how do you tell syslinux where your kernel is? [23:58] "undefined reference to `clock_gettime'" <-- why does my system not have clock_gettime? [23:58] OldToker: You'd probably get help the fastest in #apache, they'll want to see those two files too, so you might as well pastebin them and have them ready. (change your password to some dummy password, obviously) [23:59] jrib, Release: 8.04 [23:59] Flannel, thanks :) [23:59] hey, if I want to create a non-privileged user to have backups (connect to remote machine, sign in as unprivileged user using ssh key and then dump backups) should I make the /backup folder owned by backup-user or by root? [23:59] nikre: anyway, I'm sure you are on 8.04 and are reading the instructions for "pre-8.04" on the wiki. Read the "On 8.04" directions. May I ask why you want to compile ffmpeg anyway? [23:59] hey i tried to install magic iso burner using wine and it put it in a folder called "other" in my applications bar. now i uninstalled it but the "other" folder is still there! how do i remove it completely? [23:59] <_vvd> shishirm1: sorry, i have no direkt answer :) [23:59] to convert various formats to flv [23:59] I figure, maybe /backup has read-write access by backup-user group....
