[00:00] carandraug: hmm.. I need to install ubuntu more often to keep up with this.. thanks =) [00:00] RequinB4: you're best just googling the drive you're looking at and 'linux' [00:00] my ubuntu box does not want to connect to the network correctly. i seem to have very limited network access and no net access at all, all other machines on the network have net access [00:00] RequinB4: though i don't see why most drives wouldn't just work nowadays [00:00] OK - I have the grub menu and it shows recovery mode. [00:00] Hi *. I have a very strange problem with gnome. It doesn't recognize images IF they are named .jpg or .JPG . After I rename them, they work fine. I only have a problem with a user. Where does gnome store this kind of conf? [00:00] can any one provide a solution to network difficulty? [00:01] Cyber_Stalker: do you have anymore information? How are the machines connected to the net? are you able to get an ip address? [00:01] webtoe: is there an mencoder irc channel? i've googled and so far have noething [00:01] is there some command that would do hardware discovery for optical drives? [00:01] kenjy_01: please do a 'sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/compizconfig-backend-gconf*deb', then try again [00:01] Cyber_Stalker: become more specific [00:02] webtoe -- i'm with you on both counts, i just don't want to shift through 12 pages of vender pages on google [00:02] paolo: do they stop working if you rename them back to the original name? [00:02] paolo, right click in the file and select properties. There's a tab for that [00:02] cybersach: well its made by the mplayer people so ask them maybe. And the webpage is mplayerhq.hu [00:02] Is there some script that is run during boot that that I can run to see if it find my optical drives instead of rebooting over and over again? [00:02] baegle: weren't you saying that your drives are sometimes recognized? === erichj_ is now known as erichj [00:02] How can I get my Shutdown and Restart buttons back in the Quit menu? [00:02] cybersach: /list ? [00:02] * majnoon Beauty and the beast - - Nightwish (x«amarok) [00:02] soundray: Yes, they were there before my last reboot, but not there the reboot before that [00:02] Slart: yes they do [00:02] RequinB4: well there won't be a compatibility list. If you don't see forum/mailing list posts of people saying the drive is rubbish then you're probably ok [00:02] baegle: that proves that what you are looking at is *not* a compatibility problem [00:03] paolo: hmm.. weird. I didn't think linux used filenames for filetypes.. [00:03] How can I get my Shutdown and Restart buttons back in the Quit menu? [00:03] webtoe all the other machines are connected to the network using DHCP unfortunatly no matter what config i use on the linux box (DHCP, Static IP etc) it wont work [00:03] Wally_Dog: read #5 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301355 [00:03] schneissdrogen: what do you mean? [00:03] soundray: I would assume so, I ripped like 30 cds this morning. [00:03] Slart: I know it is weird... I am getting crazy about this issue [00:03] Thanks legend2440 [00:03] soundray: But what can I do to find out what it actually is? [00:03] and my mysql deamon doesnt like starting, it wont launch, always fails but ill fix that in a bit [00:03] Wally_Dog: what does your quit menu look like now? you just have log off and lock? [00:03] carandraug: you mean "open with"? that is not my problem unfortunately [00:04] webtoe -- hah, good point. It's also gotten *Extremely* good reviews, i just don't want to buy a $100+ paperweight [00:04] Cyber_Stalker: when set to dhcp, does your linux box not get an IP address at all? [00:04] baegle: have you pastebinned your dmesg output as has been requested? [00:04] carandraug: e.g. it woudln't create thumbnails for those files [00:04] webtoe it is assigned an uip [00:04] yes [00:04] ip* [00:04] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38627/ [00:04] paolo, if you try to open it with eye of gnome instead of just double click on the image, will it open? [00:04] Cyber_Stalker : can you ping it? [00:05] Cyber_Stalker: what IP address is it? can you ping other machines in your network? [00:05] webtoe ifconfig outputs an ipv6 address [00:05] paolo, nautilus won't create thumbnails for images bigger than a certain size [00:05] Cyber_Stalker: but no ipv4? Are you exclusively using ip6? [00:05] Webspot_ im not using ipv6 at all [00:05] carandraug: the size is not the problem (I tried that) [00:05] Cyber_Stalker: well then it didn't get an IP address [00:06] carandraug: e.g. I cannot even choose them as a desktop background until i rename them to something else [00:06] Cyber_Stalker: open a comman line and type the following: sudo dhclient [00:06] os[Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686] distro[Debian lenny/sid] cpu[1 x Intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU 520 @ 1.60GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 1.60GHz] mem[Physical: 946.2MB, 49.2% free] disk[Total: 53.0GB, 42.7% free] video[ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB] [00:06] and see what error messages it puts out [00:06] ok webtoe [00:06] baegle: there is no trace of optical drives in that output. You have a hardware problem. Check your BIOS settings and maybe ask in ##hardware [00:06] paolo: I talked to someone else in here a couple of days ago with the same problem.. we didn't find a solution then either [00:06] carandraug: do you have any idea where gnome keeps these kind of informations? I tried with an other user and I don't get this problem.. [00:06] Cyber_Stalker: does it say something like: No responses and no leases in database sleeping... [00:06] Slart: did he file a bug? [00:06] * majnoon Planet Hell - Once - Nightwish (x«amarok) [00:07] * majnoon Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - - ACDC (x«amarok) [00:07] Slart: the problem is that it is useless to fill a bug until I understand what kind of problem is [00:07] paolo: not sure.. but it was the exact same thing.. but he wanted to use the image for background.. and he didn't get the right click menu [00:07] Slart: maybe it was me [00:07] paolo, that's major strange.

I do find it quite strange tough. I do think you need an jpg extension if you want it to work automatically. However, if you don't have extension you should be able to open it by choosing the program to use manually [00:13] so is there any fix for flash crashing firefox [00:13] anyone else have a newer nVidia card?

I can do apt-get upgrade I got http://rafb.net/p/Q5oPKy50.html [00:15] anyone have a Nokia, ubuntu and problems with bluetooth?? [00:15] nah i really dont think its the vm's fault [00:15] if DHCP isn't able to contact the dhcp server then there must be something else causing problems that are stopping dhcp packets getting to the router [00:15] I'm wondering if it's a driver issue or something else, but when I play CSS in Wine I get around 20fps.. I'm using a GTX260. maybe just immature drivers? [00:16] kenjy_01: what was wrong with the advice I gave you? [00:16] cyber - what type of router is it?

I can synchronize my pc with my nokia but is impossible to send files from my nokia to my pc. I read in google is a bug but anyone have a solution in the web. How can i fix this problem? [00:41] does anyone here have the Razer AC-1 Sound Card? and if so.... any problems with it in Ubuntu?? [00:41] linuxfce: xmms isn't in the repos anymore. [00:41] ross: occasionally, I get better results with gnumeric instead of oocalc when I have renitent xls files [00:41] Flannel, what do people use these days, then?? [00:41] soundray: what is gnumeric? [00:41] soundray: the package is not broken [00:41] well it works, personally i use vlc [00:42] soundray: maybe that would be a better choice for me [00:42] I'm converting a bunch of flacs to mp3 with Sound Converter and I see in system monitor that it's switching between the two cpu cores. If I started another Sound Converter process and let it run at the same time would I get the mp3s twice as fast? [00:42] linuxfce: It can't work, it isn't installable. [00:42] !info gnumeric | ross [00:42] ross: gnumeric (source: gnumeric): spreadsheet application for GNOME - main program. In component main, is optional. Version 1.8.2-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2183 kB, installed size 6248 kB [00:42] soundray: how can i go about getting gnumeric [00:42] soundray: just because you get a correct instalation don't means that my package were broken [00:42] !xmms [00:42] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. [00:42] electrofreak: I believe audacious is the preferred substitute. I use mpd, personally. [00:42] soundray: what's the command to install gnumeric? [00:42] is there a forum for mythbuntu? [00:42] !audacious [00:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about audacious [00:42] ross: 'sudo apt-get install gnumeric' [00:42] soundray: sudo apt-get install gnumeric?

I cant find it [00:43] kenjy_01: what's the risk in testing my suggestion? [00:43] soundray: let's see if they use the same paramater format... [00:43] has anyone ever heard of a mysterious "Shared Files" folder in ~ ? I keep removing it, it always come back? Any idea about which software would be creating it? [00:43] i wont debate opinions [00:43] soundray: that I lose time with someting that is not going to solve the problem [00:43] webtoe: thanks! [00:43] no worries [00:43] Works great [00:43] soundray: meens that you need to learn some thinks [00:43] you're the third person to ask that in two days [00:43] This channel is awesome <3 [00:43] and i had teh same problem yesterday [00:43] hi, I was trying to rotate my monitor 90*, so I went to Screen Resolution>Rotate. Now I just get a tan screen, a mouse (it's rotated), and nothing loads. Same problems as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892108. Anyone have any ideas to fix it? I was thinking like a text file to edit (I can get the command prompt by Ctrl+Alt+F?) [00:44] kenjy_01: instead you're wasting time looking for a solution that doesn't exist [00:44] kenjy_01: and mine, yet again [00:44] soundray: there is a solution, this is open source [00:44] Ok... how do I listen to Shoutcast/Icecast with Audacious??? [00:44] I used to use alsaconfig to fix issues like this. Does alsaconfig no longer work? [00:45] kenjy_01: testing my suggestion would take roughly two minutes. You've been blasting off smart comments for half an hour now [00:45] i used to as well but found a post somewhere suggesting running alsamixer [00:45] can anyone assist me in setting up my samba server? [00:45] kenjy_01: your pride stands in your way, massively [00:45] wally_dog: It might just be best to install it first and see for yourself. Play around with it, it couldn't hurt much. [00:45] soundray: opening firefox can take less than 2 minutes and that is not going to fix the problem [00:45] alsaconfig was different though it would search for usable devices, enable them, restart the service [00:45] can anyone assist me in setting up my samba server? [00:46] kenjy_01: nobody has suggested that, though [00:46] Is there a guide in setting up subversion with my existing apache setup? [00:46] problem: i have ubuntu 8.04, gnome-obex-server installed and activated receive files from any device in bluetooth miniaplication of hardy. I can synchronize my pc with my nokia but is impossible to send files from my nokia to my pc. I read in google is a bug of hardy but there isn't a solution in the web. How can i fix this problem? Thanks for read my bad English and give me a solution... [00:46] beam, there's two spaces between the chat. On the left you have the channel switcher, in the right you have the users list (at least by default). In the channel switch there should be a line that says FreeNode. However, it should be easier for you to just go to the menu Server and select "join channel..." [00:47] sundray: opening firefox and changing the sources are the same kind of sugestions [00:47] dmsuperman_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SubversionInstall and/or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion [00:47] !subversion [00:47] subversion is an open source application used for revision control. It is sometimes abbreviated to svn in reference to the name of its command line interface. Look here for a Subversion How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion [00:47] kenjy_01: you must be much smarter than I am. It just strikes me as odd that you still need to approach this channel for help [00:47] ofu [00:48] Flannel: awesome, thanks :d [00:48] carandraug: thanks alot i found it :) [00:48] soundray: and? approaching a IRC channel means that Im less than you or what? [00:48] does anyone know how to search for files that match a certain mime-type [00:48] kind of like find / -name \*.flv -print but rather than looking at the file extension, it looks at the mime-type [00:48] OK alsa is messed up or something because if i turn the volume up all the way with headphones I hear a heavily distorted version of whats playing. [00:48] soundray: if I don't do what you whan its because what you suggest is not the solution [00:49] kenjy_01: no, but receiving help and rejecting it for the wrong reason makes you appear silly [00:49] soundray: Im not rejecting it for the wrong reason [00:49] hey guys i was wondering If someone can help me i'm running ubuntu and i'm running steam with wine and when i go to play counter strike source i get really bad fps like 10-15 and i have compiz disabled any ideas? [00:49] Ok, I switched from Audacious to BMPx, and my problem is solved (I can do Icecast or Shoutcast) [00:49] kenjy_01: and you're so certain about it that you wouldn't even try it, to see whether a different mirror might supply a non-broken package. [00:49] kenjy_01: Pride is the wrong reason, unfortunately [00:50] hi, I was trying to rotate my monitor 90*, so I went to Screen Resolution>Rotate. Now I just get a tan screen, a mouse (it's rotated), and nothing loads. Same problems as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892108. Anyone have any ideas to fix it? I was thinking like a text file to edit (I can get the command prompt by Ctrl+Alt+F?) [00:50] BiohazardSteven: Try disabling compiz. Also, you might get more help in #winehq [00:50] I did disable compiz... [00:51] is there a way to install ubuntu through command line mode? [00:51] basix: not entirely commandline, but the alternate CD has a text-mode installer [00:51] !alternate | basix [00:51] basix: 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 [00:51] .install hecalled.theshit.poop [00:51] go to #ubuntu for support, we do not support Ubuntu here....... i am unable to get help here also. .and the debian users are also not agree to help me?? [00:52] J1GGZ: Thats not appropriate. [00:52] sry [00:53] So your perrrty much telling me to try and disable compiz when i said in my question that i already tired that? [00:53] sarthor: What are you trying to do? [00:53] Pici, i cant login to remote host via ssh [00:54] sarthor: Is ssh running on the remote host? Are you getting an error? What username are you using, does that exist on the remote server? [00:54] Pici, you can check here, http://paste.ubuntu.com/38646/ that i think i logged in my the terminal got hanged every time. and i am unable to do any thing there. [00:54] pici. yes. [00:54] soundray, my actual problem is that when I run Ubuntu in a VM, it doesn't detect the monitor's resolution correctly. Hence a part of the installation wizard's window is hidden and I cant proceed with the install! :( [00:55] BiohazardSteven: I misread your compiz bits, but the rest still stands, they'll be able to give you much better help in #winehq [00:55] Pici, please check my pastebin link, hope that will help you and will save yourtime too. [00:55] hi, how can I access windows partition through gnome? [00:55] yes you can [00:56] !samba [00:56] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [00:56] basix: well, text mode would certainly help there. Or maybe try the Safe Graphics boot option [00:56] !ntfs | arthurmaciel [00:56] arthurmaciel: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [00:56] oh [00:56] ah [00:56] wrong one [00:56] soundray, both dont work [00:56] arthurmaciel, yes you can. It's probably in /media/something [00:56] that's over a network. otherwise you should have a in built driver for accesing your WIndows partition if your on Gutsy or Hardy [00:56] basix: you mean the alternate cd doesn't work? [00:57] sarthor: Does anything happen if you type 'exit' after you connect? When its 'hanging'? [00:57] basix: what's your virtualization software? [00:57] Pici, let me check [00:58] Pici, noting happens [00:58] sarthor: do you get newlines when you hit enter? [00:58] !flash [00:58] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:58] So does anyone know why my fps would be so low i'm running 8800 gt and i get 10-15.... [00:58] yes. but blank... nothing on that line [00:59] and the cursor is just on the start on the line hanged there. [00:59] sarthor: Do you have direct access to the 'remote computer'? Can you ssh into localhost from that? [00:59] sarthor: good, that means it's probably hanging on one of the startup scripts. Does Ctrl-C do anything? (sorry Pici) [00:59] soundray: Go ahead, you're making more process than I. [00:59] soundray, nothing working [01:00] soundray, no ctrlC or Z. [01:00] sarthor: but Ctrl-C doesn't close the connection. Then it's definitely not an ssh problem. Can you login as another user on that system? === emma_ is now known as emma [01:00] soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/38646/ [01:00] i think i logged in. but its the problme my terminal [01:01] sarthor: yes, I saw that [01:01] i cant login to any pc. [01:01] i tried several computers. [01:01] Guys I have hear a computer that can either play back flash with mp3 audio OR play mp3s in banshee but not both, perhaps some conflicting packages are installed, can someone help me out? [01:01] soundray, i tried several pc. to ssh, but no access. [01:01] seem to have fixed my server :D === Aragon is now known as Aragon^bett [01:01] sarthor: same problem everywhere? [01:01] niadh: known issue with PulseAudio [01:01] soundray, yes. [01:01] niadh: Unfortunately, that problem is beyond user control. [01:02] So can we drop down back to alsa for now? [01:02] sarthor: even when you do 'ssh $USER@localhost'? [01:02] I have two questions. Over the last few months, it started something weird. I cant watch a flash video while using any media player, for example, if Totem is playing, and I open up youtube, youtube will have no sound. If I have youtube open, totem will play like 1/10th of its normal speed. Any idea? [01:02] Can someone help me with a wireless networking issue? My WiFi worked fine until the power went out while I was updating, and now it does not detect any networks. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38071/ That is ifconfig http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38072/ and this is lspci [01:02] soundray, please tell me xact command to login localhost [01:03] And 2nd question- i assume this is a problem with my flash installation, but over the last few days randomly it will play for about 5 seconds and then skip back to the beginning. Any suggestions? [01:03] sarthor: I did, just copy and paste everything between the quotes [01:03] soundray, i think i can login localhost via ssh [01:03] sacamano: You and niadh are asking about the same thing. It is a known problem with PulseAudio. [01:03] sarthor: do you get a password request there, too? [01:03] soundray, its working [01:04] yes.. and accepted too [01:04] hi, got lampp related q: how can i access http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php ? it wants a password, but i don't know what login... tried mysql password, my login & pass - nothing worked [01:04] bobertdos, is that the first one, the Youtube/Totem one? If so, what happened? It used to work fine [01:04] bobertdos: Can we switch to a different audio server for now then? Or is it just wait for intrepid? [01:04] sarthor: okay. Are all the remote locations that you've tried on the internet, or have you tried a LAN address as well? [01:04] !plugin [01:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about plugin [01:04] sacamano: again, beyond user control [01:04] !codec [01:04] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:04] does ubuntu come with any ftp deamons pre installed? [01:04] ciao! can i ask an help? [01:05] bobertdos, so I guess its some error with pulseaudio? Any idea on my 2nd problem? [01:05] Cyber_Stalker: no, ftp is gradually getting deprecated [01:05] Cyber_Stalker - for security reasons, not for the desktop edition [01:05] carandraug: goodbye brother, thank you for everything. I will definitely speak to u again. I'm off to sleep now [01:05] one is on lan, and others are on internt, inside the router, but i can access that from my other ubuntu pc. [01:05] !question [01:05] 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. :-) [01:05] soundray, one is on lan, and others are on internt, inside the router, but i can access that from my other ubuntu pc. [01:05] Halp! Pulseaudio is a bane. I've done a "sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove" and yet it still finds a way to start at boot. Short of uninstalling it, what step am I missing to prevent it from starting at boot? [01:05] soundray i dont think it will die out because of sites :D [01:05] !question prorpiodisperato [01:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:05] niadh, sacamano: I think you can reinstall Alsa if you really want to, but I don't know much about the procedure and it really wouldn't be the best idea anyway. [01:05] ok, i've got a problema with ubuntuSTUDIO... [01:06] bobertdos, ty. [01:06] soundray, its my laptop, and i only am not able to access from this laptop to any remote pc... while i can access that pcs from my desktkp pc easily [01:06] bobertdos: Alsa looks to be installed for legacy reasons, so should just be a matter of switching in system->preferences->sound, I hope... [01:06] Can someone help me with a wireless networking issue? My WiFi worked fine until the power went out while I was updating, and now it does not detect any networks. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38071/ That is ifconfig http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38072/ and this is lspci. I ran dpkg --configure -a and it ended up freezing at "Setting up language-pack-en-base (1:7.10+20080205)... Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8" [01:06] prorpiodisperato, go ahead and ask, but you might want to check the ubuntu studio if it's specific to that. A good chance it's ubuntu though, so ask away [01:07] how do i force close a program? (comparable to task manager in windows) [01:07] sarthor: can you login as another user locally (create one if necessary), and see if you get the same problem? [01:07] sacamano: Do what I just suggested [01:07] how can I kick specific people out of my wireless connection? [01:07] niadh: Well, that would be a place to start, certainly. Some factoids to hit may be !sound and !pulseaudio [01:07] just incase, they know my password [01:07] sarthor: that would narrow it down to a user config or a system-wide config issue [01:07] cybersach, if you enable CNTL-ALT-DELETE in Gnome, there is a similar task manager. If not, type top in terminal [01:07] soundray, you mean to say to creat another user in the remote pc?? [01:07] okay [01:07] sacamano: Switch everything in system->preferences->alsa and it should work, reboot to double check. [01:07] sarthor: no, I mean locally [01:08] ok. [01:08] i will creat now.. [01:08] sarthor: there's an easier way actually [01:08] soundray, SebNaitsabes and carandraug: thanks [01:08] system->preferences->sound TO alsa [01:08] cybersach: System --- System Monitor --- Processes tab [01:08] cybersach, and then you can type kill "processnumber" variable [01:08] .okay, thanks [01:08] sarthor: move your .ssh temporarily: 'mv $HOME/.ssh $HOME/ssh-backup' [01:08] niadh, so you'd recommend changing everything to ALSA? [01:08] cybersach: *In the administration menu [01:09] soundray, user created, now how to login to that user, should i logout now?? [01:09] hello! I have a console sound questions regarding cdrom [01:09] Has anyone heard of dvd burner trays closing immediately after being opened? [01:09] how can I kick specific people out of my wireless connection? [01:09] soundray, i am using gui,..can i login to that user in terminal?? [01:09] sacamano: Well yeah, run whereis alsa, just to ensure it's installed on your system but if so i have reports of it working, my friend is rebooting now just to double check it works, wait 5 min can confirm if it'll work or not. [01:09] sarthor: no, it'll be easier to 'ssh newuser@localhost', then 'ssh user@remotehost' from there [01:09] Hey. I just installed Xubuntu onto my mom's laptop and I'm trying to get a usb Belkin wifi device working. I don't have an internet connection without it, since the ethernet port on the laptop died a long time ago. Can somebody please help? [01:09] sarthor: yes [01:09] orgthingy only allow them to connect by use of macs [01:09] how do i enable ctrl+alt+delete shortcut? [01:10] mac addresses in your router settings [01:10] :D [01:10] *gone [01:10] or do i just go hotkeys and make it? [01:10] #winehq [01:10] soundray, loggedin via ssh, [01:10] has someone got fast track ultra from m-audio working with Hardy - RT? thank you! [01:10] Cyber_Stalker : HOW? [01:10] ah [01:10] Hi, I have a 64 bit machine --- should I install the 64bit version of ubuntu? [01:10] router settings? but how :'( [01:10] im noob in these things [01:10] orgthingy: It would probably be better to ask in a networking channel, but yes, like Cyber_Stalker says, use MAC filtering or encrypt the connection via your router configuration. [01:10] mib_afhw42: Depends, 32bit has better application support for 3rd parties [01:11] What controls sound playback for cdrom drive? [01:11] networking channels? [01:11] soundray, i tried to access the remote pc from that user, so same problem... 1st i ssh to ssh khan@localhost and then to remote pc. [01:11] niadh: Can't I still install 32bit applications, though? [01:11] they know what Linux is? [01:11] wow [01:11] ? [01:11] mib_afhw42: it's slightly easier to deal with a 32bit system, especially if you are installing proprietary programs [01:11] mib_afhw42: If you can live without flash or java, or are prepared to prod them a bit to make em work, yeah. [01:11] orgthingy mac addresses [01:11] log into your router and set it up [01:11] how can i log into my router? [01:11] Hm, I think I'll go with 32 bit. Thanks niadh. I forgot about flash and java! Definitely need those... [01:12] mib_afhw42 : wait [01:12] sacamano: It works, set everything to alsa and reboot. [01:12] go to getdeb.net [01:12] get 65-bit [01:12] can somebody please help me get wireless internet working? [01:12] 64** [01:12] niadh, Thanks a ton. [01:12] orgthingy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:12] niadh: I'm 64bit and don't have much problem with Flash. :) But eh, Java I can't speak much for, yet. [01:12] sarthor: okay. Are you ready to remove ssh and reinstall it? [01:12] orgthingy: what type do you have ? manufacturer / model? [01:12] I need java for some of my courses [01:12] 65 bit :D just a bit better than 64 [01:12] hey all [01:12] :coder316 what kind of card are you trying to setup? [01:12] Lincid: Soon as java works I'll move to 64bit, I know there are ways and means for flash, but need java too. [01:12] Daisuke_Laptop: lol [01:13] starenka : i dont want to wake my parents (in parents room) but, whats name of program and ill figure out tomorrow morning :) [01:13] I deleted my flash drive, and forgot that there was a folder on there that I had not backed up yet. [01:13] but it was "thomson" or something [01:13] it's a usb-based Belkin FD7050 [01:13] is there anyway to recover that? [01:13] anyways, see ya [01:13] niadh: java is fine on 64bit, just the java browser plugin is difficutl [01:13] *difficult [01:13] hi [01:13] orgthingy: If your questions are not Ubuntu specific, I'd recommend joining #wireless or a channel along those lines. [01:13] Oh, I have one of those. you need to verify what chipset it is using - hold on one second [01:13] orgthingy: routers are configured mostly via browser e.g you go to 192.168.1.1 and log into the setting app [01:14] soundray, i logged out , so i iwas unable to read your last msg. [01:14] I'll just stick with 32bit :-D [01:14] anyone? [01:14] sarthor: do you want to try removing ssh completely and reinstall it? [01:14] mib_afhw42: you don't lose much [01:14] ??ubuntustudio VS m-audio fast track ultra?? [01:14] soundray, Yes. no problem. how to remove it completely? [01:15] I have a fresh install of hardy but it fails to detect my bluetooth devices from cli or the gnome applet. Is there some additional packages to be installed to get it worked ? [01:15] sarthor: 'sudo apt-get purge openssh-client' [01:15] orgthingy: try to ifconfig and than use the getaway ip as the one in browser. if ur lucky you will get the manufacturer type soecs in the dialog and you can google out default login ;) [01:15] unr3a1: Sometimes, Ubuntu creates a .Trash directory (hidden) that has backups of data in it. [01:15] does ubuntu create this directory anywhere else besides the flash drive itself? [01:15] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M [01:15] what does that do? [01:15] sarthor: then make sure /etc/ssh is gone, and reinstall with 'sudo apt-get install openssh-client' [01:15] is that a virus :D ? [01:15] please say yes [01:15] orgthingy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:15] Why don't all sites use SSL encryption [01:16] orgthingy: that command will wipe your hard drive [01:16] iirc [01:16] soundray, i created new user khan. no it says khan is not sudoers file? what to do? [01:16] unr3a1: Unfortunately not. When you say you "deleted" the dirve, do you mean you completely reformatted it? [01:16] bobertdos: I deleted it in ubuntu [01:16] oh cool [01:16] coder316, what is you problem?

[01:17] Sesquimegistus, I can't get online with my wireless usb Belkin device [01:17] bobertdos, then I brought it to a windows computer and saw that it hadn't actually gotten deleted. (files were dumped into that hidden folder) so I formatted it using the windows formatter [01:18] soundray, /etc/ssh dir is still there [01:18] What kind of error message are you getting? Is Ubuntu recognizing you Belkin USB as a wireless ethernet client? [01:18] f'coder316: i have a belkin too, mailed them about the issue there is no linux support at all [01:18] f'coder316: and ndiswrapper doesnt like it either so i bought antoher carc [01:19] what is the wine help room listing? [01:19] soundray, and inside files are [01:19] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0M 2008-05-13 15:36 blacklist.DSA-1024 [01:19] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0M 2008-05-13 15:36 blacklist.RSA-2048 [01:19] sarthor: do a 'sudo rm -r /etc/ssh' (careful, don't mistype) [01:19] coder316: you still with me? [01:19] Sesquimegistus, I think it is, but in Network Settings, it shows up as grayed out [01:19] sOK [01:19] unr3a1: Oh, well then I think you're in trouble. I don't know if any of the recovery stuff available works on solid state media.......You can try [01:19] !recover | unr3a1 [01:19] unr3a1: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [01:19] Can anyone help me setup Compiz/Emerald on Ubuntu 8.04 with my ATi Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics card? I could really use some help with this... [01:20] What's a good application to sort/rename my mp3s based on patterns i build from id3 information? [01:20] dmsuperman_: exfalso or easytag [01:20] Also, something that can do the reverse (read id3 info via pattern matching in filenames) [01:20] dmsuperman_, EasyTAG is what you're looking for [01:20] coder316: there is a tutorial for this card - search ubuntu forum [01:20] Sesquimegistus, doing an "ifconfig" shows wlan0 and wmaster0 has stuff [01:20] soundray, carandraug: it seems EasyTAG is the common denominator here, so I'll check that out. Thanks :D [01:21] Wally_Dog: First, you need the right drivers for your video card. Then, you need the compizconfig-settings-manager, and enable Extra Visual Effects. [01:21] soundray, installed again. but same .. the terminal hanged. i think its the problme with my terminal [01:21] !forum [01:21] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [01:21] Sesquimegistus, doing "iwconfig" i see that wlan0 has IEEE 802.11g, ESSID: "", and then some more info... but lo and wmaster0 say "no wireless extensions." [01:22] sarthor: okay, try on a console then: hit Ctrl-Alt-F2, login and try ssh again [01:22] I think I am in trouble [01:22] anyone familiar with getlibs? [01:22] soundray, OK. [01:22] i'm having trouble using it to get flash 10 working on 64 hardy [01:22] there is no way there are residuals on solid state drive [01:22] mdg, yah, i'm still here [01:22] can someone help me really quick? can you go to your home directory/.gnome2/monitors.xml and see what's in ? [01:22] I currently use the "Bracket Completion" plugin for Gedit; however, I always have to use the right arrow to get out of the brackets. Does anyone know another way, so I don't have to constantly shift my hands on the keyboard? [01:22] soundray, same in console also. [01:23] mdg, will that tutorial require me to install NDIS? [01:23] has someone got fast track ultra from m-audio working with Hardy - RT? thank you! [01:23] all belkin adapters need ndiswrapper and the N1 series doesnt work at all [01:23] When I try to run "dpkg --configure -a" it freezes at the language-pack-en-base, so when I try to run "apt-get --reinstall install language-pack-en-base" I get an error that says "dpkg interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem" I'm stuck! [01:24] racvets1, I don't have a monitors.xml, otherwise I'd tell you.

[01:24] hey there [01:25] got a quick question: i just received my copy of ubuntu in the mail and i am about to start the installation. however, i connect to the internet through a modem and i believe i may need to download certain drivers in order for it to be compatible with ubuntu. my question is, is it possible to download the drivers on my windows c: drive, and then once ubuntu is setup and running would i be able to access that driver and install for ubuntu? === Guest56511 is now known as ajw [01:25] por favor si alguien me puede ayudar haganlo instale el linux hoy todos los programas sin actualizar hoy hace poco puse win2000 en otro disco el disco separado y ahora el grub no arranca y el windows solo arranca estoy en la sesion en vivo del cd vi q tengo todos los programas necesito q alguien me diga como solucionar el problema === ajw is now known as ajj [01:25] with ndiswrapper my wireless devices works fine [01:25] i'm curious if i really need to get the NDIS wrapper, since i can see the info for the wireless device in iwconfig [01:25] !es | ubuntu [01:25] can anybody tell me how to turn off and on the desktop grid [01:25] ubuntu: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [01:26] also, i just saw the green light on the front blink (but still no internet connection... lol). [01:26] coder, have you tried following the steps on this thread of the ubunutu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=709260&highlight=Belkin+wireless [01:26] bobertdos, yea, I am screwed. tried the parted option, didnt find any partitions on the drive [01:26] ??ubuntustudio VS m-audio fast track ultra?? [01:26] sarthor: there is another ssh client you could try. You may know it from Windows. 'sudo apt-get install putty' [01:26] Guest56511, you *might* be able to, but I'm not sure if Ubuntu comes with the appropriate package (ntfs-3g) pre-installed or not. You should boot into the LiveCD and see if you can access your Windows hard drive from there before installing. [01:26] unr3a1: sorry about that, man [01:26] what do you guys htink of xen, is it worth it? [01:26] soundray, i used this on win. let me try here also [01:27] You will have have to use the NDISwrapper for your Belkin device after some searching through some forums. [01:27] can anyone tell me how to turn on or off the desktop icon grid [01:27] ajj: You can read windows drives just fine. [01:27] snarkster: I guess that depends entirely on what you want to do [01:27] soundray, how can i use putty on linx? [01:27] oh have a version of windblows but i think xen can only run linux [01:27] snarkster: if you're asking that question, then no, it is not. [01:28] Hi; I'm developping a Java socks proxy but I can't find any application that I can force to use a SOCKS proxy to test under Ubuntu. Any suggestion? Thx [01:28] soundray, ok. i got how to use [01:28] sarthor: :) [01:28] bobertdos, yea, np. my girlfriend will only kill me and deny me love for a week or two [01:28] oh ok [01:28] thanx for the input mneptok [01:28] bobertdos, it was her folder I lost >.< [01:28] hi [01:29] hi!

[01:30] coder316: Yep, sneakernet will work fine. packages.ubuntu.com is an easy way to get to the deb files you need. [01:30] sarthor: putty should be able to do anything that ssh can... [01:30] hi! is there a way to handle usb devices' shutdown like in windows xp, in ubuntu? some application in the system tray where i can shut down my usb devices (umount them, etc) [01:30] bobertdos, anyway, thanks for the info. I will definitely be more careful in the future [01:30] wat_: what's your hardware ? [01:30] sarthor: if you still believe that the issue is with the terminal, you could install the putty terminal separately (pterm) and run ssh inside that [01:30] Hi I just updated the BIOS on my computer and now ubuntu has disabled my desktop effects and doesn't recognize my monitor, how can I fix this? [01:31] soundray, Yes i know it. but i want to fix the ssh, you are linux guru, how can you leave it without to bring this in order [01:31] pierrelux: geforce 8800 gt, lg 22 inch monitor and a samsung syncmaster 930b [01:31] snarkster: it's like saying "is it tough to fly a plane? i'm thinking of buying a 747."

Make sure you are using sudo or signed in as root for the install to run properly [01:35] soundray, pterm is same like terminal [01:35] can anyone help me get my sound to work?

[01:42] NickSavage: sounds like your nick is bad [01:42] so how would I go about fixing that? [01:43] do I have to register one on irssi first? [01:43] NickSavage: No, just set it.

It needs to be able to thumbnail RAWs aswell [01:44] bye [01:44] vladdY, or do you mean open postgres so it accepts outside connections [01:44] Flannel: okay, how do I set my nick? [01:44] SLASH nick [01:45] NickSavage: you can either use /nick, or change it in your configs (after you use /nick, you'll want to either /save or edit it in the config to make it permanent) [01:45] NickSavage: /set nick [01:45] Flannel: hey, thanks, it worked! [01:46] NickSavage: If in IRSSI, you'll type just '/set', will list a set of options you can do. [01:46] Flannel: did you see sarthor's problem earlier?

[01:47] freedumMan: from LAN [01:47] vladdY: The only thing you might need to do is unbind it in the postgres config, so its not just listening at localhost [01:48] Flannel: ssh connections from a particular machine to all other machines just stalled after password input. Connections from other machines to same remote host work. [01:48] soundray: Do they stall and then eventually connect? Hmm, after password?

[01:52] is there a simple way to remove all the help files from a ubuntu install? [01:52] i mean, leave the applications intact, but remove all their help. [01:52] Slade: oh, nothing right now. It took me a while to figure out how to get irssi working. First I tried downloading a tar.gz from their website, but that didn't work so well. I realised after a while I could apt-get it [01:53] why didn't the tarball work? [01:53] I couldn't figure out how to compile it [01:53] it said that the compiler couldn't make executables, or something along those lines [01:53] ./configure && make :) [01:53] NickSavage, tar zxvf irssi*.tar.gz cd irssi* ./configure make && make install [01:54] the ./configure was what didn't work [01:54] not sure why [01:54] what error did you get? [01:54] NickSavage: you probably don't have a compiler installed. 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' to install gcc and other helpful stuff [01:54] * Slade is a big fan of compiling his own stuff [01:54] oh! [01:54] NickSavage: why would you compile irssi frou source? [01:54] crdlb, always compile from source when you have the option. [01:55] soundray: I never did install that, that's a good idea [01:55] from* [01:55] Excuse me but i want to aska question whats the latest kernal version because i havent updated until now (windows borked my MBR when i reinstalled and was unable to get a boot cd) and i just updated it and i didnt get any kernal upgrades [01:55] Hi All! I'm not seeing my desktop anymore, I can't right-click on the desktop anymore, it's just not active... does anybody know how to get it back (ubuntu 8.04 AMD 64) [01:55] hold alt and press f2 [01:55] and its been 2-6 months since i upgraded [01:55] type in gnome panel-replace [01:55] NickSavage: but always install from the repositories if you have a choice (sorry Slade :) === Koopman is now known as K1ng_K00p4 [01:55] ozpowermo that should fix it [01:55] soundray: why is that? [01:56] NickSavage: because there's no reason not to [01:56] halflife [01:56] coder316: Wally_Dog: check your PCI ID and then go to serialmoneky and verify you need RTL8185 driver - install instructions included in driver download. [01:56] NickSavage, i agree that using repositories is good for beginners. But it's a good idea to learn how to compile and install things from source. [01:56] NickSavage: using the repos ensures that you get security and other updates, and can upgrade to new releases without breaking stuff [01:56] iMatter: Do you have linux-generic installed? [01:57] Flannel, Yes [01:57] Flannel, wait let me check [01:57] ah, alright. that all makes sense [01:57] iMatter: And you have hardy-updates and hardy-security enabled? [01:57] sarthor, have you tried to remove the item from your known hosts file? so it regenerates [01:57] Flannel, i said yes because my last thing is -generic on my uname -r [01:57] soundray: I'm fairly certain Slade doesn't disagree, it's just that I suspect he comes from a background other than Ubuntu, where compiling things was more the norm :) [01:57] iMatter: No, thats not quite the same [01:58] Flannel, it says linux-generic is the newest version [01:58] iMatter: alright, then you do. Now, do you have hardy-updates and hardy-security enabled? [01:58] Flannel, One second. [01:58] freedumMan, yes. i did echo -n '' >/root/.ssh/known...hosts.. [01:58] هاى [01:58] alright, I got the compilers installed now [01:58] woot [01:58] bobertdos: I'm from a background where you couldn't properly use a system until you had compiled a kernel.

[02:02] freedumMan, and yes i am on ubuntu hardy desktop, access ubuntu hardy-server [02:02] Flannel, my main reason for asking is that i am experiencing USB troubles and ATI drivers troubles with this specific one [02:02] sarthor, have you tried to login the other way yet? curious [02:02] freedumMan, and i cant access any remote computer from this of my laptop, whitch have problem. [02:02] iMatter: That's likely. The things in -proposed aren't necessarily fit for consumption. [02:02] I run only Ubuntu. Have 2 hard drives. One of them is formated as NTFS (just a data drive). I am getting an error "NTLDR is missing". I do not have windows installed, so i dont know why i am getting this?

[02:03] Flannel, in my Xorg.conf [02:03] sarthor, is it possible ssh package is corrupt? [02:04] freedumMan, mr. soundray reisntalled that pkg also.. he told me for removing and reinstalling. [02:04] iMatter: I'd try rolling back to the previous one. [02:04] freedumMan, i did that. with remove and then with install.

[02:04] Flannel, my previous kernal works with the ATI Driver [02:05] sudo apt-get clear [02:05] iMatter: Then... use that one. What's the problem?

I was trying to get my garbage bin and other icons to show up on the desktop, but now it's just broken... could anybody help me please? [02:06] freedumMan, OK now?? [02:06] Flannel: I have a mac and another dell machine whose cddrive is not working. I need to install Ubuntu on it. So I thought I will create a bottable USB disk from Mac OS X. [02:06] sarthor, did you remove the package first then CLEAN then reinstall [02:07] Help - I am getting "NTLDR is missing" error, but I do not have windows on my machine. [02:07] when attempting to bring up the second ethernet card in my machine I get "eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such Device" [02:07] Flannel, i still use it but i was hoping this one fixed the USB problems i found out that the problem is that i have a WD Passport usb drive it worked for a while and then one day it just suddenly stopped working, i found out that the reason is ehci_hcd is loading before something and a modprobe -r echi_hcd fixes this [02:07] until i reboot [02:07] Flannel: I have downloaded the .iso and I have a 2GB flash drive [02:07] lspci sees the card.

I want a basic shell, ntfs-mounting capability and, of course, GParted [02:13] sarthor, there was most likely an issue with your installation [02:13] WDC: System Monitor [02:13] keppi: THanks [02:13] Slade, do you live in NY ? [02:13] freedumMan, b4 2 days. i installed xubuntu-desktop, and then i removed, coz that created soem display problme. i think tis the problem due to that. [02:13] psykidellic: Can you not boot to USB by default? [02:13] mib_6estf5, try gparted live cd it has read only ntfs for sure [02:13] freedumMan, i am not sure. its just an doubt. [02:14] usser: thx ! [02:14] sarthor, i think its time to reinstall ubuntu [02:14] whats the problem? [02:14] Flannel: Yes.

[02:14] when i install software i have a trouble. i386 ERROR: Architecture is not included i386 [02:14] Flannel: thanks for your help [02:14] does anybody here know the way to restore the configuration of sound since ubuntu installed ? [02:14] dbl17z, yes. [02:14] sarthor, well you can rsync your data to another machine [02:14] WDC: Right click and select "Add to Panel" [02:14] malberto, what kind of PC do you have? [02:14] sarthor, or backup to another drive [02:15] sarthor, good luck on that [02:15] Slade, do you go by Slient Slade ? [02:15] mdg, this is a Desk.. Dell XPS 600 [02:15] thanks [02:15] Oh, I just dealt with this sound thing in PPC [02:15] Architecture is not included: i386????? [02:15] np [02:15] dbl17z, nope, i go by DJ Slade [02:16] malberto, did you try alsamixer and check settings? [02:16] psykidellic: Right. The steps on that page (as far as writing to the USB) should work regardless of OS [02:16] Slade where do you live? [02:16] O, ok, I have a friend with the name Slient Slade.. Anyway do you have any experience with ATI drivers ? [02:16] psykidellic: its just the "getting the computer to boot to USB" that sometimes runs into issues [02:16] Hi, I used to be on Dual Boot with XP - Now that I formatted my C, I lost Grub, and can't access my Ubuntu. What must I do? [02:17] mdg, yeah but is just show me the volume of all those davices I just want to restore all because I have alot of devices and I made a desaster here [02:17] Slade: Cause I installed the drivers its just that when I log out X will just hang. I would have to power off the system. [02:17] Flannel: I will re-read it again...and come back if I have any issue. [02:17] malberto: boy do I know disaster! [02:17] Thanks for the help. My friend will be the happeist person if I can remove the windows and install ubuntu for him! [02:17] Schmex: reinstall grub from the cd [02:18] you need to modprobe sound - but I'm not sure what you Dell is using, then add to /etc/modules [02:18] keppi - my Ubuntu's location ain't on a certain Disk, cause I chose the most freed space installation option. does that matter? [02:18] Hi guise [02:18] I was wondering how to get a new windows manager working on ubuntu [02:18] Pref something low in memory [02:18] Cause I installed the drivers its just that when I log out X will just hang. I would have to power off the system. [02:18] Schmex: You didn't wipe out your ubuntu partition did you? [02:19] What can you guys suggest ? [02:19] malberto, try the command "dmesg" and see if you can find any references to sound [02:19] fluxbox ? How do I intall it ? [02:19] hm, i just cant install ubuntu server in raid1, is there anyone that could maybe help me, lost 6 hours [02:19] Would anyone know why I would have this problem with the drivers ?? [02:19] keppi - No, I only formatted my C, my XP location. [02:19] hey, i'm about to install ndiswrapper for my belkin usb 802.11g device. i don't have the install cd anymore, so i went onto belkin's website and installed it onto my windows xp computer so i can get the driver files. do i only need the single .inf file? [02:19] mdg, ok [02:19] how do i reset my root mysql password? [02:19] Schmex: when you install grub, it should find it fine and add it to your startup list [02:19] coder316, you need two files [02:20] hello everyone...I'm having some major sound/video sync issues with Flash and Firefox 3 under Hardy [02:20] keppi - I just inserted my Ubuntu CD, I can't find Grub. [02:20] slicky, do you know what the second file would be? [02:20] Schmex: Is there anything on your ubuntu partition that you just can't stand to lose? [02:20] Fungusman: I think you should be able to find fluxbox in the repos [02:20] sound works fine, but video is very herky jerky at best, even with minimal tabs open and nothing else occupying my network connection [02:20] coder316, no :o [02:20] Schmex: I myself, just a personal preference, would just reinstall using the whole drive(s). ;) [02:21] slicky, what file type is the second file? [02:21] Schmex: hold on [02:21] Lincid, Nah, I have my Data on my D, so I don't mind. [02:21] coder316, what do you mean? i need to reset the mysqp passwd [02:21] Lincid, BUT! I tried that before.. [02:21] Lincid, and Ubuntu couldn't read the partitioned Space that I made specially for... [02:21] slicky, sorry. i'm tired. i meant to address that to somebody else. [02:21] Lincid, that's why I had to go with that option, the most free space disk shit. [02:22] mdg, do you know what are the two files i'd need for my belkin usd drivers? [02:22] What is X and what does reseting X mean? [02:22] coder316, :) [02:22] dbl17z, what ati card, what drivers? [02:22] coder316: go to ubuntu wiki and look for RTL8185 [02:23] Lincid, Is it okay to use Acronis OS selector? [02:23] PanzerMKZ, on Long Island [02:23] coder316: This is a USB wifi or PCMCIA? [02:23] Slade: I have a ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 [02:23] Is there an easy way to tell on which partition a given OS is installed? [02:23] dbl17z, and what drivers are in your xorg.conf? [02:23] slade ok I know a Dj Slade from here [02:23] Slade: I was using the binary ati drivers. [02:23] PanzerMKZ, where is "here" ? [02:23] Bham AL [02:23] dbl17z, try using the fglrx drivers [02:24] Slade: I didn't touch xorg cause ubuntu had everything working. [02:24] OK [02:24] Let me see I will let you know. [02:24] ok [02:24] Schmex: Boot until you get to the Disk Partition section [02:24] keppi, after that? [02:24] PanzerMKZ, definitely not me :) [02:24] did not think so [02:25] keppi, wouldn't it be easier to use Acronis' os selector? [02:25] Schmex: mount your root and swap partitions (do NOT format them) [02:25] What is x and what does resetting x mean? (Shift + Backspace?) [02:25] Schmex: when exiting the partition manager it should install grub for you. [02:25] how do you add a script / program to startup? [02:26] im trying to update transmission bittorrent client. what i did was added the source: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bortis/ubuntu hardy main" and then it realized that there are updates for it.. so now that i goto install it says it cannot authenticate. does anyone know where i will be able to import the key from so that authentication does occur? [02:26] Hi! I'm using ubuntu 8.04 (hardy). Every time that I start my PC, it shows me a black screen, so I have to do Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace to get the login windows. How to change the resolution of the login window? I've tried using preferences->Screen Resolution but this doesn't fix the login problem. Help please. [02:26] keppi, okay thanks mate ;) - I was wondering if any other OS selector could make it much easier for me? Such as Acronis? :p [02:26] gotama, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf under the Screen section [02:26] change the resolution [02:27] gotama: run xfix from the recovery menu and see if that helps [02:27] Schmex: I haven't tried Acronis [02:27] keppi, Okay, I'm gonna try what you said. [02:28] Schmex: You just have Ubuntu on the machine now, correct? Don't see a reason in a selector, if you could just get GRUB working correctly. [02:28] acronis just further complicates things [02:28] please someone help! [02:28] Ok. Thanks. [02:28] rnr3cOn : what's your question? [02:28] Slade: download the fglrx-kernel-source or download the xorg-driver-fglrx [02:29] cause I think the xorg one is the commercial binary. [02:29] xorg-driver-fglrx [02:29] ok [02:29] mdg: im trying to install an updated version of transmission. the steps that i took were to first install the apt source which i obtained from http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5604 [02:29] Shift + Backspace resets x. what does that mean? [02:29] Slade: Thanx [02:30] mdg: and now that it detects latest version available is 1.32 and one isntalled is 1.06 it goes to download but says i dont have the key so no authentication will occur... so how can i get the key so authentication does occur? i like to be on safe side [02:30] r3cOn: is that newer than in the repos? [02:30] dbl17z, no prob bob [02:30] mdg: yes the one in repos is very old... its 1.06.. available is 1.32 according to transmission site [02:30] stepanstas, X is the window manager .. it makes things pretty.. by resetting it, it drops you out of the pretty desktop env. and allows you to re-sign into it [02:31] r3cOn: do you have backports in your sources list? [02:31] stepanstas, Your computer doesn't restart only the session [02:31] mdg: backports? im sorry i dont understand i come from fedora [02:32] r3cOn: sorry about that, I was thinking Debian - just gave up on debian. anyway, you need th GPG key from that website [02:32] Is there a way to check which partition my current install is in? [02:32] s0ulstice, thanks for that. what instances might i want to use that in. if windows are acting up? [02:32] this happesn to me when i try to run xsane: xsane: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hp2400.so.1: undefined symbol: sanei_usb_init [02:32] how can i edit postgresql.conf using ubuntu server [02:32] mdg: yes but since they dont have it listed.. and ive been asking in #transmission without any response what to do? :S [02:33] d [02:33] Is there a way I can put video playback as my desktop wallpaper ? [02:33] stepanstas, Yes if the windows are acting up or if things are frozen.. Sometimes if you make updates to how things are displayed you have to reset X, IE special effects.. [02:33] Gillpy: yes, there is, but I don't remember how...but I've done it before... :) [02:33] r3cOn: Oh! Let me see if I can find anything. [02:33] Slade: brb [02:33] s0ulstice, okay, thats a nice feature. thanks a lot [02:34] i installed the 2400 hp scanner in gusty it worked fine, now in hardy i installed, it worked, xsane recognized, now when i open xsane, it just doesn't open the software [02:34] stepanstas, yes indeed it is a great feature, your welcome [02:34] thanks mdg. i checked faqs but nothing there [02:34] I'm trying to get a Ralink 2860 based wireless card working under Hardy. It shows up under lspci and I've got the correct kernel module loaded, but can't seem to get NetworkManager to detect the card. [02:34] Can someone help me? [02:35] kasemann: can u test it with iwconfig ? [02:36] something is wrong with firefox 3? ubuntu downloaded the firefox 3 or updated. and now after rebooting firefox3 wont work...bugs? [02:36] r3c0n: I can see it with iwconfig. It shows up as ra0. I just can't see it in NetworkManager and it won't scan [02:37] kasemann can u try doing iwlist ra0 scanning ? [02:38] is ubuntu ever going to support the linksys wireless cards that it currently DOESN'T support? [02:38] right click on ur networkmanager icon and see if wireless is checked [02:38] r3c0n: iwlist ra0 scanning returns: ra0 No scan results [02:38] r3c0n: wireless is indeed checked [02:38] kasemann: thats not a good sign.. dont u have an ap in range? [02:38] Slade: Thanx alot man.. It worked. [02:38] dbl17z, no prob, bob [02:38] Flannel, still around? [02:39] this happesn to me when i try to run xsane: xsane: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/sane/libsane-hp2400.so.1: undefined symbol: sanei_usb_init [02:39] Slade: is Linksys ever going to support Ubuntu like they support Windows? [02:39] ap = access point [02:39] It was pissing me off.. This card can be a pain in the ass.. [02:39] yes, I have an access point in range. If I go to System-->Administration-->Network, I can turn off roaming and set a static SSID and connect to it [02:39] mneptok: good call [02:39] Slade: vote with your wallet. [02:40] my wallet is more anorexic than me [02:40] Slade: Its been that way since I've had it. [02:40] Slade: Thanx man.. [02:40] dbl17z: time for a new card? I just got a new nvidia card from my job [02:40] they're nice to me :) [02:40] Slade: Its a laptop.. [02:40] r2c0: it seems like I have a configuration issue if i can connect manually but not through NetworkManager. What do you think? [02:40] Dell inspiron 9200.. [02:40] and after 3 hrs of fiddling with settings, i got TwinView working the way i wanted it to [02:40] Its what I have for now... [02:41] Slade, nvidia settings manager worked grandios for me .. you editing the xorg file still? [02:41] kasemann: hmmm... sounds like it.. lets try something here.. [02:41] dbl17z: if it's all you have it's all you have. No one's criticizing [02:41] s0ulstice: well nvidia-settings and xgl don't like eachother [02:41] so i found the way around it [02:42] THEN nvidia-settings worked [02:42] Slade: No, I know.. Its just that when I get the chance I will be getting a Mac Book Pro.. [02:42] kasemann: is your AP announcing itself? broadcasting beacons? [02:42] before hand? i edited by hand [02:42] dbl17z: and i'll be very jealous [02:42] LoL [02:42] kasemann: broadcasting ssid? [02:42] OK, so I followed all the directions in the ICS (Internet Connection Sharing), for both my computer and the one I'm sharing with, replacing "eth0" with "wlan0" and "eth1" with "eth0.

[02:44] !nvidia [02:45] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:45] jga23: it's a PAM issue. have you been making any edits to /etc/pam.d/gdm lately? [02:45] kasemann: check /var/log/messages (btw im by no means an expert) but just trying to find tell tail signs of what could be causing this [02:45] r3cOn: I'm not having any luck finding the gpg key for transmission - will keep searching [02:45] exit [02:45] so i have rtorrent and how do i load .torrent [02:45] hoban: no, I haven't [02:45] David_Bane: the wife not getting internet is not necessarily a problem :) [02:46] Bwahhaha. [02:46] mdg: i really appreciate though whats really alarming is that noone in #transmission is even answering me about the whereabouts of the gpg key.. its not in faq and not on page pertaining to the apt sources ... just strange [02:46] If I want to get laid? Yeah :P [02:46] anyone? [02:46] jga23: it's a PAM issue, I'm sure of that. can you pastebin the content of that file I mentioned before? [02:46] David_Bane: ok, point taken :) [02:46] r3c0n: /var/log/messages just has a bunch of errors saying it couldn't find a message handler for /com/redhat/dhcp/ra0 [02:46] r3c0n: unrelated? [02:46] David_Bane: take a look-see at iptables [02:47] you may need to use iptables redirection [02:47] kasemann: could you paste me in private those messages? [02:48] hoban: http://pastebin.com/d1ae2f11b [02:48] slade: Doing an IPTABLES --LIST real quick. [02:48] ok [02:48] kasemann: redhat? what? lol where did you get this package from? [02:49] David_Bane: there's a TON of scripts out there that can help you configure your firewall for redirecting [02:49] guys how do i load .torrent file to rtorrent?? [02:49] hi [02:49] i have a really nooby question to ask >< [02:49] purpleback: shoot [02:49] Go for it [02:49] oki. [02:49] atcla: backspace [02:49] so im trying to configure ubuntu for my tablet pc [02:49] anyone know how to get this intel i945GM laptop to output 1080i over the vga out? [02:49] and im pretty far into it. [02:49] wacdump works [02:49] atcla: or specify on the command line [02:49] but i have to configure xorg.conf [02:49] right now it's only doing 1024x768 [02:49] and it wont let me save it >< [02:49] and so i just went onto the next step [02:49] configure autoserial [02:50] Could someone help me choose a Linux distro? [02:50] and it said to choose autosave once [02:50] but i dont know how to do that D: [02:50] Necrobutcher: Try Ubuntu [02:50] all that appears is text but no option >< [02:50] Slade: Got a link? My Ubuntu search-fu is weak. [02:50] Necrobutcher: i think most people here will give you only one answer here [02:50] Heh. [02:50] Except I have an ancient PIII. [02:50] 466MHz 256mb RAM and 4GB to install. [02:50] And I need to be able to dual boot it with DOS. [02:50] Necrobutcher: Try Xubuntu [02:50] Gillpy, so what do i type if my .torrent file is on the desktop ? [02:50] so how can i save xorg.conf and/or configure setserial? [02:51] David_Bane: google! [02:51] The computer doesn't have internet. [02:51] !iptables > David_Bane [02:51] David_Bane, please see my private message [02:51] purpleback, when editing xorg .. are you using sudo?? [02:51] Necrobutcher: Xubuntu doesn't need the internet, download a CD [02:51] gedit [02:51] I know. [02:51] jga23: yeah, that one looks fine... [02:51] !sudo [02:51] 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) [02:51] oki then question [02:51] atcla: ~/Desktop/path/to/torrent maybe [02:51] But I'll need to play music. [02:51] how do i turn this into a sudo command: [02:51] r3c0n: I compiled the driver from the ralink website. Like I said, the module loads fine [02:51] purpleback, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?? [02:51] And I'll need the internet to get the gstream codecs. [02:51] i love you. [02:51] Necrobutcher: you can sneakernet whatever codecs you need. [02:51] ...Did you just say "No IPtables are greater than David_bane?" O.o [02:51] hug me? [02:52] jga23: what about common-auth? [02:52] * s0ulstice hugs purpleback [02:52] :D [02:52] Sneakernet? [02:52] ok let's see if it works. [02:52] pray for me. [02:52] hoban: where's that? [02:52] True/ [02:52] purpleback: Please take non-ubuntu support topics to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:52] !enter purpleback [02:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:52] jga23: same dir [02:52] !nvidia [02:52] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:52] !enter | purpleback [02:52] purpleback: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:53] Necrobutcher: download the packages, put them on some sort of removable media (CD, USB, floppy, etc) and then walk them over to the other computer [02:53] there should really be a easy lan chat prgram for ubuntu [02:53] Here's my really n00b question of the day. Does root have a default password in ubuntu? [02:53] Slade: No. The root account is locked. [02:53] hoban: appended to the previous pastebin [02:53] Flannel: that's what I thought [02:53] l3d: lan chat? [02:53] atcla: l3d set up irc server ? or talk? [02:54] tried talk [02:54] got nowhere [02:54] Hello, under Hardy Heron on AMD, I have a mirrored RAID which I have to assembly manually every time I reboot. How may I make it stick please? [02:54] jga23: I don't see it [02:54] hoban: http://pastebin.com/d2b73dcf1 [02:54] You can unlock it if you REALLY want to. We don't recommend it, but I think you're experienced enough to handle it responsibly, Slade. :p [02:54] has anyone tried to boot ubuntu off of a flash drive? [02:54] yes [02:55] Can someone help me? [02:55] and it does work [02:55] r3c0n: any more ideas? i appreciate your help [02:55] bobertdos: sudo works just fine for me [02:55] not ubuntu but fedora [02:55] is it really slow? [02:55] !ask | steven__ [02:55] steven__: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:55] Gillpy, dont work [02:55] This is just an idea, but can we dual boot on a flash disk? [02:55] o0Loco0o : works seemingly fast [02:55] who uses rtorrent ??? [02:55] no it work flawlessly! [02:55] or would it be fast enough for a multimedia pc [02:55] o0Loco0o : not as fast as on a hd however for the most part is perty speedy [02:55] steven__: that's what we're all paid here to do :) [02:55] I was wondering if someone can help me set up teamspeak it doesn't seem to want to work [02:55] i have another noob question ; ; [02:55] purpleback: go for it [02:56] GamingX : its possibly not sure how easy that would be [02:56] i used ctrl+alt+backspace [02:56] and it went black [02:56] jga23: that one looks a bit different than mine. I'd suggest you download the PAM package(s) and compare your config to those [02:56] and now it's just growling at me. [02:56] is this normal? [02:56] i'm trying to set up bare media pc's on my tv that fetch the movies and music from my server and cutting costs where i can =) [02:56] haha @ purpleback ;) [02:56] hoban: the only think I've changed today was my theme [02:56] what version of the driver did you get kasemann? [02:56] purpleback: Yes, X's response to being killed can vary. It depends on its mood, :D [02:56] purpleback: you should get a prompt [02:56] The only drawback I can see is how the grub would give the source drive. The source drive would change for each system. [02:56] atcla: what doesn't work ? you type rtorrent /path/to/torrent, your Desktop will be ~/Desktop/ [02:56] purpleback: ctrl-alt-backspace is a bit of a brute-force way to kill xorg [02:56] Nobody knows? [02:57] Arg [02:57] jga23: do a "ls -lt /etc/pam.d/" and tell me if any files in there have been modified today [02:57] steven__: sorry [02:57] im not getting a response >.> [02:57] nothing [02:57] it's just sitting there. [02:57] safe to turn off my computer and turn it back on? [02:57] steven__: Check the forums, there are a few TS threads there [02:57] purpleback: no flashing cursor or anything? [02:57] Ok, why would my onboard sound card be making a good bit of consistent static? Board is Intel. [02:57] r3cOn: Does Fedora have third party repositories - maybe you need the key for that , or maybe I'm just too tired to think :) [02:57] hoban: nope [02:57] nothin [02:57] kasemann: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-683085.html [02:57] r3c0n: 1.7.0.0 of the RT2860 driver [02:57] Didn't do this on my previous OS. [02:58] purpleback: any activity on the HD? [02:58] jga23: "find /etc/ -mtime -1" [02:58] the fan is flaring up [02:58] and then dropping down [02:58] Gillpy, 18:57:40) Could not open file: "rtorrent ~/Desktop/Learn*" [02:58] so i assume so [02:58] like i said it's growling at me [02:58] can anyone recommend a program that will let me burn cds or dvds [02:58] kasemann: i think u need to recompile with the following: HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y [02:58] onto my computer i mean [02:58] atcla: I would assume you would need to give the torrent extension [02:58] plug speakers into right hole =) [02:58] purpleback: seems hosed to me [02:58] joan covertXtoDVD [02:58] turn it off? [02:59] purpleback: Ctrl+Alt+Delete will usually initiate a reboot when X is in that state, but other than that, you can just power cycle the whole thing if you want. [02:59] purpleback: try ctrl-alt-del? [02:59] ctrl alt delete = nothing [02:59] ill go eat dinner [02:59] mdg: im on ubuntu.. i used to use fedora.. the issue is that i am unable to obtain the key for the ubuntu apt sources for transmission.. are you suggesting i get the rpm from fedora repo and convert to deb? [02:59] and come back [02:59] if it's still fail ill power cycle it [02:59] rnctrl + alt = Backspace! [03:00] purpleback: try ctrl-alt-f1 [03:00] DONt work [03:00] What language are the ubuntu packages built up of? [03:00] ctrl + alt + backspace = kills x [03:00] ctrl + alt + F1 = goes to console tty1 [03:00] hoban: http://pastebin.com/d486e204e [03:01] Slade: If you could, mind looking over my iptables list? [03:01] r3c0n: good call! I'm trying that right now [03:01] atcla is that the best one? covertXtoDVD? is it convert or covert [03:01] should be able to get to console without x, amd issue shutdown, no? [03:01] how do I enabled ldap_auth module in apache2 in hardy? [03:02] hi, what can I watch .cbr files with? [03:02] what package would I find "stat" and "utime" (functions) in? [03:02] !k3d [03:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about k3d [03:02] hello everyone. [03:02] I am trying to open a .cbr file but ubuntu balks with some x-rar error (I do have unrar installed) [03:02] Slade are you there. [03:02] David_Bane: i havent done iptables in a while [03:02] dbl17z: yes, but im at work [03:03] slade: I haven't had sex in a while :( [03:03] can anyone recommend a program that will let me burn cds or dvds onto my computer? [03:03] Hi, I have a problem where gnome power manager says I have 500,000 hours remaining when I unplug my laptop. The percentage seems to decrease correctly, it just has this abnormal spike. Can anyone help? [03:03] David_Bane: I'm not dear abby :) [03:03] Slade: Sorry to bug you again.. But so far I can switch between vterms but if I log out X crashes still .. [03:03] why would you want to fix that!? [03:04] dbl17z: define "crashes" [03:04] joan it will convert to dvd and will burn [03:04] David_Bane: pastebin it [03:04] i'll see what i remember [03:04] because i usually use iptable scripts [03:04] I tried it without the drivers before and the logout was working fine. [03:04] jga23: hmm...that doesn't make much sense. you should search by "find /etc -mmin -[mins] -mmin +[mins]" replacing the "mins" with the less than and greater than minutes. you want to find files that changed around the time the problem started [03:05] Slade: When I logout nothing comes back up it just stays blank.. Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't even respond. [03:05] hoban: the problem is I just rebooted for the first time in about a week... [03:05] in what ubuntu package would I find the man pages for "stat" and "utime" (functions)? [03:05] jga23: yeah, that is problematic [03:06] darius svx [03:06] jga23: I suggest doing like I said before, check the pam.d files against the deb(s) from the repo [03:06] dbl17z: pastebin your xorg.conf [03:06] jga23: also, can you pastebin your /etc/nsswitch.conf ? [03:06] lemme look [03:06] Slade: ok [03:07] does anybody know why the nvidia driver doesn't work with the server-linux-kernel?? [03:07] slade: http://pastebin.com/m6284f4ad [03:07] it does work with the generic kernel [03:07] hoban: http://pastebin.com/d47b03991 [03:07] can anyone help me out with my problem? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:07] whats the best antivirus software for ubuntu [03:07] !conky [03:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky [03:07] !info conky [03:07] conky (source: conky): highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo.

Version 1.5.1-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 170 kB, installed size 524 kB [03:07] can anyone recommend a program that will let me burn cds or dvds onto my computer? something FREE please? [03:07] David_Bane: none of those are set to forward. Try getting KFirewall and see if that can help you out [03:07] ;] [03:08] o0Loco0o: clamav probably, but you dont need antivirus software [03:08] David_Bane: i don't remember iptables syntax ever since i went to freebsd's ipfw. [03:08] r3c0n: thanks a million! I recompiled with the WPA_SUPPLICANT fields set to 'y' and I'm up and running! [03:08] you dont need it? [03:08] i know everyone is awfully busy, but could anyone please answer that question? i want to rip the cd / dvd to put on my phone please? [03:08] !antivirus [03:08] antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [03:08] Would someone on i386 hardy mind testing something? In firefox, does http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16917684/test.txt (set view->character encoding->utf8) render properly? Firefox fails to render the page canvas at all here on amd64. The i386 builds from mozilla.com work properly however.

[03:09] jga23: yeah, that one looks fine [03:09] thanks [03:09] jga23: I don't know what else to try other than having you compare your pam files to the system defaults [03:09] where can I find the system defaults? [03:09] rtorrent question: how to use enter> tab dialog ??? [03:10] dbl17z: ok, in your Screen section [03:10] Modes "1280x1024" [03:10] try that [03:10] or whatever resolution your laptop can support [03:10] I have a screen thats 1440x900 [03:10] Hi is there a line I can put into files so that emacs will know to automatically highlight them based on a certain profile? [03:10] sort of like what vi does [03:11] help recovering a file that i accidentally rm instead of mv? [03:11] Slade, I'll put the list of supported resolutions. [03:11] ok [03:11] does anybody know why the nvidia driver doesn't work with the server or realtime kernel?? it does work fine with the generic kernel. But when I try it on the realtime or server kernels it tells me it couldn't find kernel module sources for this kernel. [03:11] rtorrent question: how to use enter> tab dialog ???>???????????? [03:12] mkquist, unrm? [03:12] atcla: /join #rtorrent [03:12] dbl17z: sure. but make sure you don't go too high [03:12] 1440x900 is the highest [03:12] MY TABLET WORKSSSSS [03:12] OOOOOHYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH [03:12] purpleback: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:12] Could that be why ? [03:13] and u can specify refresh rates ie: 1280x1024@60 [03:13] Ok [03:13] atcla, how about HandBrake? [03:13] mkquist, try tct... but if you're using the system, you stand a high chance of overwriting the deleted file. [03:13] does anybody know why the nvidia driver doesn't work with the server or realtime kernel?? it does work fine with the generic kernel. But when I try it on the realtime or server kernels it tells me it couldn't find kernel module sources for this kernel. [03:13] jga23: I mentioned that earlier. you need to get ahold of the debs that provide the pam files [03:14] can i install kooka in gnome ? [03:14] inbitado34, yes you can [03:14] rnrnrnanyone know anything about getting sound from the cdrom drive?

[03:16] sisto: what im saying is there's kernel specific drivers. Make sure you have all the drivers for the kernel you're working on [03:16] mdg, what sound is working on your system? [03:17] Slade: ok thanks! will try === miguel is now known as Guest24498 === Guest24498 is now known as thebestboy2671 [03:17] D4RIUS, it is a PPC with snd-powermac working in X and console music program, but no sound when I play a cd rom in console only [03:18] i can't print any file with inkscape? my printer is a canon ip1500 [03:18] atcla, apparently ubuntu comes with a cd ripper [03:18] it's called cd extraction [03:19] Anyone know of any ready to burn multi-boot DVD's? IE. A dvd I can burn that has options to boot to several OS's [03:19] I can play a cdrom in X just fine, but not from a console [03:19] * Slade thinks he's gotten too lazy with Windows [03:19] hoban: just checked my pam confs against my laptop and they look the same [03:19] mdg, using ALSA?

[03:21] and im also glad that my job was nice enough to buy me a new video card so i didn't have to use my crappy ATI card [03:21] yes mdg [03:21] anyhow have any idea where one can find the latest edition of lindvd [03:22] it gives me weird messages when i try to download my stuff [03:22] D4IUS, yes. Weird thing is I cannot adjust pcspeaker it just show a box with "oo" and can be muted, but cannot raise levels [03:22] purpleback: Like what?

[03:22] hopefully a quick question: I am trying to help install an app and when I ran the install pkg, there were some errors. The developer wants me to do a "make clean" and try again. He is on the opposite side of the world and so is unavailable ATM. How do I do a "make clean"? thanks [03:22] Some applications that use OSS...cannot actually open /dev/dsp. [03:23] I am trying out this game, "vendetta". [03:23] phlimm: go to the directory of the software you're trying to install [03:23] chuy_max lol... sounds simple enough... but it's only available to oem's. thought maybe someone where may have some detail. [03:23] and type make clean [03:23] Can anyone help me get my Vista VM see my Internet connection? I'm kind of baffled. I asked in #vbox, but no one seems to be around. [03:23] Looking around I found that I should add "vendetta 0 0 direct" to /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss [03:23] However, that did not work. [03:23] cuAL E S LA URL EN EPAÑOL [03:23] ok one more quick question >.> [03:23] There is no esd, /dev/dsp is not being used by anything else.

[03:25] Any ideas? [03:25] is this possible without me learning some heavy codeing? [03:25] NativeAngels: disregard that [03:25] yea [03:25] avant-windows-navigator makes the screen turn? [03:25] D4RIUS, its called tcd (terminal console player) [03:26] purpleback: avant window navigator makes it do all the cool mac stuff [03:26] I've also tried mcdp [03:26] oh oki :3 [03:26] anybody seen this: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: undefined symbol: gzopen64?

[03:29] Hrm, so I guess no one is familiar with allowing some application access to /dev/dsp (with ALSA)? [03:29] it runs faster in ubuntu [03:29] and it looks prettier. [03:29] let me check [03:29] or something...I'm not familiar with ALSA. :-) It seems counter-intuitive. [03:29] so im quite happy with it. [03:29] where do i get the alternate install cd / dvd image for Ubuntu? [03:29] Gee I never noticed that [03:29] Could someone please help if they have a few min [03:29] i'm trying to use the terminal [03:29] but i'm terrible [03:29] I just installed it on my system and have the same thing (not PPC) [03:30] and it's kinda of an emergency [03:30] sodacan, just ask [03:30] sodacan, Ask your question and someone will help if they know the answer. [03:30] Hmm, perhaps its just a Cdrom thing [03:30] or an alsa thing [03:30] sodacan, dont ask to ask, just ask your question! [03:30] well, in short.. I need to re-install windows because my roomate does not want to give ubuntu a chance [03:30] i have raid1 ubuntu server, how can i Setup so that the other partition(disk) is bootable too [03:30] اه [03:31] HI EVERY BUDDY [03:31] No Audio = No CD [03:31] so i'm trying to use this ms-sys utility [03:31] sbahra: you should look into pulse's oss wrapper [03:31] sodacan, And what don't you get about the terminal? [03:31] I have to install it in the terminal [03:31] sodacan, is it your computer? [03:31] no [03:31] oh, let me put one in and see if that changes [03:31] sodacan, just type your question IN ONE LINE [03:31] ok [03:31] tarwatirno, hmmmmm [03:32] sbahra: hardy? [03:32] I had to put in a CD (had to find one first). It loads the CD [03:32] sodacan: ok, so pop in the windows cd, and re-install [03:32] tarwatirno, yes [03:32] the No Audio goes away, but there is no sound on mine either. [03:32] sodacan, install windows in the terminal??? That sounds strange.... [03:32] I put a cd in and it shows "playing", but no audio from it [03:32] I get this result when I do a make clean ---> make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop. <--- Is that an error message due to missing syntax? [03:32] what was the thing i needed to get to give my ubuntu mac effects? :3 [03:33] phlimm: no, that means that either A: there's no clean directive in the Makefile, or that it wasn't ever configured or compiled in the first place [03:33] avatar-window-somethnig? >.> [03:33] purpleback: cairo-dock or avant-window-navigator [03:33] purpleback, look at mac4lin in google [03:33] sbahra: strt your program with padsp [03:33] thankies [03:33] tarwatirno, [pulse] [ALSA] | [ALSA in kernel] ... other stuff ... ?

[03:36] orgthingy: Can you be more specific? [03:36] hi guys, i'm having trouble playing my DVD in Totem. Totem doesn't show the available subtitles in the DVD whereas in Realplayer in Windows it shows them. [03:36] lostxion : get VLC (add/remove) [03:36] so does mac4lin work? [03:36] I wouldn't be surprised. I've noticed flakyness since pulse [03:36] bobertdos : im afraid from attacs [03:36] Yamakiri: aoh? [03:36] lostxion: you should be able to watch them with VLC player [03:36] purpleback yes [03:36] lostxion : and install gStreamer codecs from add/remove [03:36] does it work well? [03:36] purpleback its a theme [03:36] i know [03:36] purpleback it works greats [03:37] -s [03:37] alrighty :3 [03:37] purpleback: Pretty well, as long as you can get through Metacity, which can be kinda clunky sometimes. [03:37] purpleback I use it on 3 systems [03:37] lostxion: Visit medibuntu.org and add it to your repo list. Then install libdvdcss2 [03:37] metacity? [03:37] Slade: It was my damn resolution man.. I can't logout while at 1440x900 [03:37] think I'll try getting rid of pulse audio [03:37] well 2 right now because I tryed OSx86 on my laptop and it failed horribly [03:37] dbl17z: glad i could help ya figure it out [03:37] Realplayer is the only application that was capable of showing the available subtitle [03:37] Thanks man.. Why is that an issue ? [03:37] thanx ill take a run at it [03:37] ok the most important question: [03:37] hi hows can I install ubuntu to encrypted disks? [03:37] is it hard to install? >< [03:37] dbl17z: because the powers that be wanted it that way? [03:37] purpleback just when it comes to the AWN dock system join #awn and find out about the trunk version... it works much better [03:38] Realplayer in Windows [03:38] purpleback - its mind boggling! [03:38] ok then :3 fuck it. [03:38] purpleback I've done a mac4lin install in about 20 mins [03:38] Slade: that sucks.. Well I have it at 1280x800 [03:38] its simple [03:38] it took me 3 hours to install it. [03:38] there ya go [03:38] (ubuntu) [03:38] Its decent but I love having it at full res.. This sucks. [03:38] cuz i fucked it up the first time. [03:38] purpleback: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:38] purpleback its simple to do the theme [03:38] is it easily removed? [03:38] What is the root password to empty the trash? [03:38] purpleback: Well, just get to the site first. You'll want to decide if you want to use the Metacity/gdm version or Emerald. I recommend Metacity. Don't worry, we can walk you through it. [03:39] purpleback I'm just gonna check if he released the new version yet or not [03:39] hi hows can I install ubuntu to encrypted disks?

[03:41] purpleback just follow the Mac4lin documentation and you should understand how to fix any problems with it. heck after my first isntall I made my own set of instructions for efficency [03:41] rockyrock, that sounds like maybe you need an option set to display them [03:41] or like a list of public servers [03:41] threeseas: open a termianl, type->cd .local/share/Trash, then type rm -irf . [03:41] whats the command line to search for a specific word in dir/subdir of files? i cant remember the command [03:42] purpleback: in a terminal run mkpasswd [03:42] use that :) [03:42] kevinO: so...

[03:43] threeseasL oh sorry, sudo rm -irf . [03:43] how can I install ubuntu to encrypted disks using 8.04?

[03:44] kevinO: doesn't work :-( [03:44] purpleback it uses a metacity theme but for the desktop background I usualy use the OS X 10.4 backgrounds [03:45] rockyrock, did you exit and reload the disc?

[03:46] oh [03:46] its odd that I can use Music on Console in a console, but not play a CD through a console player - just really odd [03:46] hiptobecubic, you can create a new shortcut with a custom command [03:46] I LOVE MOC = Music on Console [03:47] worked great in 7.04 [03:47] hiptobecubic, right click on desktop and choose create launcher... [03:47] maybe that will work for you? [03:48] kevinO: Totem simply doesn't run the second DVD, where today i tried to run the second DVD in Realplayer in Windows and it works. Totem simply plays some seconds with "black scenes" [03:48] kevinO, that's for a clickable executable. I'm trying to bind a keyboard hotkey to a command [03:48] <[ifrog]> ,-O [03:48] bobertdos: rm -irf didn't work [03:48] <[ifrog]> O ; [03:48] <[ifrog]> `-O [03:48] <[ifrog]> UBUNTU LOGO :) [03:48] bobertdos: sudo rm -irf didn't work either [03:49] <[ifrog]> threeseas, work for what? [03:49] hiptobecubic: how about System, Preferences -> keyboard shortcuts? [03:49] emptying the trash [03:49] mdg, i can't find where that lets you create a custom command [03:49] mdg, just a custom hotkey combination [03:49] threeseas - is this a strictly non-gui install? [03:49] <[ipc]-michael> im havinga difficult time getting songs from r'box or gtkPod onto my iPod. the iPod mounts fine, but when i attempt to transfer a song it disconnects.

[03:51] mdg, no, i need to bind a hotkey such as (ctrl alt r) to a command [03:51] i'm trying to get to the root in terminal by using 'su root' but it doesnt accept my password... it should be the same one I used to login in the first place, no? [03:51] purpleback, you talking about firefox dl's? [03:51] what program are you trying to lauch or what are you trying to do hiptobcubic? [03:51] threeseas: the trash icon in nautilus' left pane? [03:51] sodacan, ITS SUDO [03:51] sorry for caps* [03:51] it's a python script that i wrote, i want to bind it to a hotkey so that i can run it immediately at anytime [03:51] ya [03:51] sodacan - no, you need the root password you setup, not user password [03:52] hey everyone....just installed...checking it all out [03:52] i also just installed [03:52] mdg: how do i set up a root password [03:52] i need some help with my NFS, i can mount it on the client (which is running ubuntu) and read from it, but I can not write to it [03:52] purpleback, please address the person you are talking too so we see you :) you can change the dl directory under firefox preferences [03:52] favro yes [03:53] thank you and sorry >< [03:53] hiptobecubic, that would still be a right click and choose an icon, and then the command to start the script and you can choose a shortcut after you set that up [03:53] kevinO: [03:53] purpleback, i suggest you put it somewhere in your home folder [03:53] sodacan: There is no root [03:53] Hello can anyone here help me out with my laptop freezing, here is my fourm post for more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=893588 [03:53] does anyone know how to force udev (or whatever) to create a hci0 device for bluetooth?

[04:23] djhash: that require a access to the windows driver, no? [04:23] windio00: incorrect. it's because the server daemon handles file read/writes. as does the NFS daemon.

But no use, any more stronger kill commands available [04:41] 205Mb of extra space is a big commitment [04:41] i will try the desklets, thanks Flannel and mneptok [04:41] Tried fixmbr and was not able to boot at all. Used SuperGRUB to get Ubuntu back. XP is on 2nd hard disk, but only shows up in GRUB where it says NTLDR is missing. [04:41] Hey guys. [04:41] Hmm [04:41] I need help. [04:41] Hackintosh, just ask. [04:41] hackintosh411: Okay, shoot [04:41] hiptobecubic: by the way if you want to run any USB devices you will need the PUEL from the site the cloused source version. since the OSE Open Source Edition does not support that feature [04:41] My wireless only seems to be working for about 10 mins. A website said for me to disable ipv6 and i did and now im waiting to see the results. [04:42] Anyway, how can I use an init.d script to start something that requires X? :P [04:42] the OSE doesn't support usb? SebNaitsabes [04:42] computer13137: better using your .xinitrc [04:42] Do you guys think it will work? [04:42] computer13137: or your bashrc XD [04:42] hiptobecubic: yep that's right. [04:42] Ububegin: sudo killall java [04:42] wow [04:42] Cheaterman, mmk [04:42] I wish I could add this one to the FAQ [04:42] can anyone help me get my mic working? [04:43] hackintosh411: possibly, the best thing is to always make sure you're using the absolute latest driver [04:43] I have broadcom driver. [04:43] mneptok: thanks lemme try [04:43] speener: What's wrong with it? [04:43] Cheaterman: So how do I add a program into that xinitrc script? [04:43] Cheaterman: according to my bios.. my hdds are Third Master:250, Third: Slave: 500, fourth:Master:160.. which should translate to hd0, hd1 and hd2 [04:43] But i it connects to wireless for only about 10 mins. [04:43] bobertdos: it just doesn't work [04:44] it's a laptop mic [04:44] computer13137: just echo "name of the prgrm" >> ~/.xinitrc [04:44] djhash: df -h [04:44] as [04:44] If disabling my ipv6 works then in about 8 mins ill still have wifi. [04:44] Cheaterman: Name of program being the full path to it? [04:44] speener: I smell an Intel HDA audio card there. What does command: lspci | grep Audio report? [04:44] can u tell how to render unicoded bangla in tty terminal [04:44] djhash: it's almost 6am in France, so please understand that i'm a bit too tired to get it all. [04:44] The reason my function keys aren't working anymore is because the "F-Lock" key on my Logitech wireless keyboard was engaged, meaning Gnome didn't "see" ALT+F2 it saw something else (too lazy to fire up xev and find out what) [04:44] hiptobecubic: yep for example a Flash Stick won't work in the OSE only in the PUEL [04:45] computer13137: if you want a fully posix system but that's not required. [04:45] speener: The first thing we usually tell people is to go into alsamixer in the terminal and make sure the devices are all enabled, unmuted, and that the volume levels are good. [04:45] pls nobody knows the answer [04:45] speener, what laptop is it? [04:45] mneptok: no use dude, nothing is dieing... any other commands [04:45] thanks for trying though #ubuntu, i love you even if you are lame ;-) [04:45] ill brb [04:45] hiptobecubic: hp pavilion dv6000 [04:45] i switched to ubuntu from vista.

[04:46] speener, i've tried alllllll kinds of things and still no luck. external mic works but the internals do not [04:46] djhash: Nothing. You'd better mount them all and look for ntldr file in their roots. [04:46] !microphone [04:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about microphone [04:46] speener, it has to do with the way the audio drivers recognize (or don't recognize) our hardware. there's already a bug report on it on the alsa site. [04:46] speener: do you have any working mic at all? [04:46] mneptok: I was running some java program..then stopped midway..using Cntrl + Z .. but their processes cant be removed [04:46] Cheaterman: i have no problem loading windows.. its ubuntu thats the problem [04:46] hiptobecubic: also right what about the others. OSS and Pulse? [04:46] <[Luc1fer]> anyone know how or what I would use to create a DVD of mp3's so that I can play it on my cars dvd system. [04:47] SebNaitsabes: well i have a mic for my desktop [04:47] djhash: If you find it, just remember grub config syntax accepts no sdX name and remember also partition numbers and ddevices numbers start from ZERO and not ONE. [04:47] Ah [04:47] Dose anyone else here think ubuntu 8.10 is going to be the biggest update ever? [04:47] but i want my laptops integrated mic to work [04:47] !kde [04:47] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

As soon as I click on the log out button in the top right it freezes [05:13] i have 3 soundcards in my system (hardy 8.04.1, x64), but neither flash or SL seem to use the default card.

However, I've installed ubuntu server on another machine and the same file/folders are not displayed properly. how can i fix that problem?

I guess you're using the GNOME console? (I use KDE, so I'm not familiar with it.) [05:24] spadewarriror: XFCE is basically a lite waight version of Gnome [05:25] eoyoung: about ath9k?

It is required for all other Husky-Software." What is 'Husky'? [05:34] mrmiggidude: What command are you trying to run? If it ends in .tar.gz, it should be preceded with "tar xzvf" or something similar.

I couldn't find anything, so I didn't buy anything. The LinuxQuestions.org hardware compatibility list didn't help. [05:35] mrmiggidude: I'm not sure about telling tar where to output stuff. It may be easier to just extract the files and then copy them there. [05:35] Okay. Can you take a look at that tutorial. because i have no idea what to do if i go away from those steps [05:35] Sure [05:35] http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23/ [05:35] goodbyegravity: usually like: tar -xvzf tarname.tar.gz -C /place/to/untar/to [05:36] jamus: you mean the screen when I start up ubuntu? that boot section? or is that a file somewhere?

[05:37] SebNaitsabes, oh. I'm currently trying to find gdm.log file... [05:37] Where is Rythombox [05:37] eoyoung: where u start ubu -- there are boot lines coming --there [05:38] spadewarrior: you could install KDM try that and then go back to GDM later [05:38] mrmiggidude: Running those two commands will do what you want it to do. [05:38] Didn't work. [05:38] oh yeah i tired Rythombox it works [05:38] hi all. [05:38] jamus: yeah nothing colored...it all looks fine, says kernel alive or something and starts ubuntu [05:38] SebNaitsabes, ok I'll try that [05:38] mrmiggidude: First type "cd /usr/share/fonts" [05:38] i did [05:38] And then "sudo tar xvzf /home/username/Mac_files/Mac4Lin_v0.4/Fonts/OSX_Fonts.tar.gz" [05:38] ohh [05:38] I want to clone a Notebook HDD. I have Windoze XP on one partition and Mint on another partition. Any suggestions. thanks [05:38] Where username is your username. [05:38] i didnt do sudo last time [05:38] spadewarrior: to me KDM is yuck and GDM is nice [05:38] SebNaitsabes, hehe [05:38] It's required; /usr requires root access. [05:38] Yes Rythombox works [05:39] spadewarrior: but if still your issue when it's running KDM well then [05:39] nuh uh.

[05:43] eoyoung: if u have everything installed pls try this [05:43] sudo mv * /usr/share/fonts/ [05:43] eoyoung: It probably won't hurt to leave it there [05:43] I suppose [05:43] can someone help me out in mounting a external hdd [05:43] cd/ [05:43] sudo tar xvjpf /home/username/Mac_files/Mac4Lin_v0.4/Fonts/fontconfig.tbz -C /etc/fonts [05:43] It asks me to do that.

[05:45] mrmiggidude: wherever you want [05:45] lsd|ninja: this says I should disable ndiswrapper if I use it, how do I do that? or is it enough to just remove the windows driver from it, which I have already done? [05:45] Wizard2694: in a x-term [05:45] Hmm. [05:45] Extract them to the folder they're in at first, and then move them to /usr/share/fonts...

The names really look alike. I don't know about audacity nor vlcplayer but I believe your problem is in the output plugin or sound device they're using. You have to put the correct one [05:50] It gives me 411 lines of text. [05:50] I just want to move this folder into there.

[06:12] malberto: hahahahaha. :P [06:12] hal_v2: s/\$file.jpg/\$file.gif/ [06:12] Kuprin: something with an Intel CPU and chipset for a start [06:12] couldn't find package convert [06:12] LSD|Ninja, i am using dell inspiron 1525 [06:13] StudentDriver, drivers for what? [06:13] Kuprin: you won't get much choice in wireless at that price point, you'll propbably wind up with broadcom :/ [06:13] kunwon1, what ? [06:13] What's the command to search files with keyword? [06:13] kunwon1, hahah ! [06:13] LSD|Ninja: I thought broadcom was well-supported though [06:13] I'm trying to install the drivers for my video and CPU scaling [06:13] as well as for my wireless card [06:13] !wifi | StudentDriver [06:13] StudentDriver: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:13] clp: locate [06:14] clp: locate file [06:14] Kuprin: They can be made to work, they just don't tend to perform as well as Intel or Atheros in my experience. And it's not just on Linux either [06:14] does broadcom work with ndiswrapper? [06:14] GBG: Okay I moved it. [06:14] mrmiggidude: That fontconfig is not for OSX-like fonts. All it's going to do is make the Tahoma font look as if it were on Windows [06:14] LSD|Ninja, i can see in lspci Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01), So what wil be my driver?? [06:14] thanks for the link [06:14] Oh okay. [06:14] StudentDriver, what's your video card? Doesn't work well by default? [06:14] also, thanks! [06:14] So I moved it. [06:14] sarthor: Have a wired connection handy? [06:14] clp you can also use find, so you don't need to have the database up to date [06:14] and it did something. [06:14] Are they working now? [06:14] Yuuuup. [06:14] Thanks so much! [06:14] np [06:15] re-ask : can anybody please help me....i need a screenshot of human list ubuntu login. i need it for ubuntu how-to n my cyber cafe [06:15] I've tried following the wiki for my model computer to get the video driver to work correctly but I don't believe that I've gotten it correctly [06:15] LSD|Ninja, what do you mean? is it the ethenet driver?? [06:15] GBG: IS Amarok buggy generally. Mine crashes on me constantly. [06:15] I need to change about 20 jpg's to gif's. Is there any way I can do this really quickly? [06:15] Convert wont install [06:15] when you input commands into terminal you should pretty much always get some kind of response, correct? [06:15] mrmiggidude: I dunno, I don't use it. :) [06:15] What do you use? [06:15] sarthor: as in a wired ethernet connection [06:16] mrmiggidude: But I think it stands to reason that larger, more powerful apps are also more prone to bugs. [06:16] either indicating that the command was executed correctly or that it wasn't, correct? [06:16] mrmiggidude: Audacity === Guest49643 is now known as max [06:16] ultracheese hey [06:16] gbg: is it better? [06:16] StudentDriver, not necessarily. === max is now known as Guest93060 [06:16] BiohazardStevenn hey [06:16] mrmiggidude: I just like it because it has a Winamp-style UI. It's not perfect. [06:16] mrmiggidude:try xmms [06:16] StudentDriver, some commands aren't verbose by default [06:16] i use it and it works fine [06:17] LSD|Ninja, i need to figure out my wifi driver, to put that as a source in my kismet.conf, thats why i am asking.. i am not an expert, so hope you can understand that i can not give you healthy info [06:17] I need to change about 20 jpg's to gif's. Is there any way I can do this really quickly? [06:17] carandraug, so is there a way to figure out if I've executed to commands correctly? [06:17] Using startupmanager I've somehow disabled the text that everything runs through when starting up (now instead only giving me a summary list underneath the ubuntu loading logo) How can I get that list back? [06:17] I really like AMAROK, it just only plays like half the time. [06:17] ANd I've never been able to load all my music onto it. [06:17] Examples of entries on the list include when it's mounting disks and running fsck [06:17] It'll crash. [06:17] sarthor: Does wifi work? [06:17] I need to change about 20 jpg's to gif's. Is there any way I can do this really quickly? [06:17] I have like 112 gigs of music and it doesn't like that. [06:17] StudentDriver: In the Unix environment, "No news is [generally] good news." [06:17] LSD|Ninja, Yes [06:18] mrmiggidude: My favorite combination is still a Windows app+WINE, but I don't think that it gives you full sound quality. [06:18] LSD|Ninja, i am using intenrt via that wifi now. [06:18] LEEEENUCKS! [06:18] bobertdos, is that a fact? lol [06:18] sarthor: then you're probably using b4x or something [06:18] sarthor: lsmod and see what's associated with mac80211 [06:18] gbg: Wine has never wanted to be cooperative to me. [06:18] anyone know how to run a benchmark via command line? [06:18] so if I'm playing devil' [06:18] ATH 5212/3 or stfu! [06:18] mrmiggidude: I use mpd and sonata myself [06:18] goodbyegravity, didn't you mean audacious [06:18] SitUbuntuSit: Yeah, sorry. [06:18] LSD|Ninja, [06:18] StudentDriver, if another lines comes awating orders (the same that appears when you open a terminal) it means it was executed. However you won't know how it exited. Better would be too look for the verbose option in the man pages of the command (but usually is -v) [06:18] Compiz seems to have started failing on the boot. I get no titlebars and when I do compize --replace it seems to fix the problem. Not sure what happened. [06:19] gbg: audacity is a sound recorder and mixer isnt it? [06:19] mrmiggidude: Yeah. [06:19] indeed [06:19] StudentDriver: Yes it is. :) [06:19] hey all [06:19] Audacious is the newer version of beep-media-player... both of them are kind of broken. [06:19] sarthor: Sorry, most people with Broadcom forget to keep a wired connection handy and wonder why it's so hard to get going [06:19] goodbyegravity, np, I've done it before. audacious is nice for a minimal app. I use it in openbox. [06:19] configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. [06:20] oops [06:20] LSD|Ninja, ieee80211_crypt 7040 2 ieee80211_crypt_tkip,wl [06:20] sorry for paste [06:20] I need to change about 20 jpg's to gif's. Is there any way I can do this really quickly?\ [06:20] SitUbuntuSit: I can't get the playlist window to stay stuck to the main window when I roll it up and down. :( Total killer. [06:20] carandraug: I'm thinking that I probably need to get a little more familiar with the commands for terminal as most of what you just told me went over my head [06:20] can anyone help? [06:20] goodbyegravity, perhaps it's an issue with your skin? Too bad, I guess it's a bit buggy for some :( [06:20] Is there a way to load an ISO to a CD drive and use WINE with it? [06:20] I need to change about 20 jpg's to gif's. Is there any way I can do this really quickly?\ [06:20] hal_v2: sudo apt-get install convert && cd directory_with_jpegs && for file in *; do; convert $file $file.gif; end [06:21] My Optical drive broke. [06:21] StudentDriver, man pages are something really uselful. Just enter man name_of_command in the terminal and it will explain you how to use that command [06:21] what would cause imaging problems in xorg such that playing a movie creates vertical bands across the entire screen? [06:21] hal_v2: I already told you how to do this [06:21] mrmiggidude: mount the iso on a loopback device === Guest93060 is now known as max [06:21] SNuxoll, I saw, but it can't find package convert. [06:21] http://pastebin.com/m649f8845 [06:21] can anyone assist [06:21] carandraug: ahh === max is now known as Guest59458 [06:21] hal_v2, I think you can use Xnview windows program and do batch convert - its an excellent graphics program free. [06:21] Le^stat: I think you just need to install some gtk-dev packages [06:22] LSD|Ninja, should i wait? or its over? [06:22] hal_v2: ahh, it's in the imagemagick package [06:22] how do i find out which ones? [06:22] StudentDriver, usually a command syntax is something like "command -options -something_else" By adding -v in the options you sometimes activate verbose mode of the command [06:22] LSD|Ninja, do you know where I can find some good LSD? [06:22] Go to Synaptic and search for gtk [06:22] sarthor: sorry, was trying to find a more precise way of working out what driver you're on :P [06:22] I can't get AWN to Work in KDE I have both gnome and kde installed on my laptop, how the heck can i even get it to load? [06:22] <_numbers_> what is the best movie player for ubuntu ?? one that plays smooth [06:22] ta [06:23] mplayer [06:23] sarthor: b43 is the new one I believe [06:23] Ninja: How do i do that? [06:23] Loopback? [06:23] _numbers_: mplayer [06:23] StudentDriver, but always check the man pages of that command to check [06:23] <_numbers_> ty [06:23] can anyone help with video/imaging problems? [06:23] LSD|Ninja, yes. i installed b43-wcutter i think. [06:23] _numbers_, mplayer [06:23] Dillo_of_Faeo: Ask away [06:23] <_numbers_> does it have playlist features? [06:23] LSD|Ninja, so will it be my driver name to write in my kismet.conf?? [06:23] hal_v2, sorry make that Faststone image viewer if you like I can send you the installer? [06:23] carandraug, so I wouldn't necessarily use "-v" without checking if it is supported, correct? [06:24] Le^stat: It's probably libgtk2.0-dev [06:24] Why don't all webservers use SSL [06:24] _numbers_, yes. You may want to try the SMplayer skin [06:24] <_numbers_> thnx [06:24] Anyone know how i can delete all temp files? I remember someone once told me of a command that could do that... [06:24] RequinB4: because it requires them to buy a SSL cert , and uses up extra bandwidth [06:24] nicholaspaul: just reboot your machine, that'll clear all of them [06:24] particularly, old kernels [06:24] nicholaspaul: old kernels aren't temp files... [06:24] SNuxoll: yea? cool thx [06:24] alistair, I can get it. So xnview is a no go? 'Cause I'm downloading it right now. [06:25] ta [06:25] nicholaspaul: temp files == anything in /tmp [06:25] randomly (it seems), my graphics gets wonky and during video playback, vertical bands appear across the whole screen. This only happens when using stand-alone players, and not web embedded video. [06:25] SNuxoll: so how can i del. the unused kernels? [06:25] sarthor: I don't know, I've never used kisment. If I were to guess though I'd say probably not. My guess would be what framework you use for wireless in general which I believe is wext (wireless extensions) for most native drivers [06:25] carandraug, would there be any danger in re-doing my driver installs as I'm not sure if they took? [06:25] StudentDriver, yes. Search the man page of the command to see if -v activates verbose mode. In can do something else, you never know. ALso remember that it's case sensitive so -v is different that -V [06:25] nicholaspaul: you remove them with apt, aptitude, or synaptic [06:25] <_numbers_> carandraug smplayer skin is not in the list can i sudo apt-get install smplayer skin ? [06:25] hal_v2, no totally the wrong one - Faststone is way better by far once youve used that you will likely throw everything else away :-) [06:25] SNuxoll: ok, that makes sense. Its all coming back to me! (its been a long day...) thx [06:25] carandraug, i have noticed that stuff is case sensitive [06:25] nicholaspaul: If you really want to, you can use apt-get or Synaptic to remove old kernel images. Also, sudo apt-get clean (in the terminal) will clear the package cache. [06:26] _numbers_, I'm pretty sure you can find it in synaptic [06:26] SNuxoll: Why must they "buy" a SSL cert - why can't they just make one and what gives businesses who sell SSL certs the ability to make them? [06:26] where can I get gnaural? [06:26] <_numbers_> carandraug ok thnx === Guest59458 is now known as max [06:26] bobertdos: thanks !! [06:26] How do i format a HDD with ext3? [06:26] RequinB4: you can't 'trust' a self signed SSL certificate [06:26] RequinB4: It's like making your own drivers license. [06:26] RequinB4: since you didn't have a trusted 3rd party issue it [06:26] alistair, work on wine? [06:26] dumbdum: mkfs.ext2 -j /dev/drivepartition === max is now known as Guest31869 [06:26] RequinB4: goodbyegravity's analogy was spot on [06:27] StudentDriver, I don't think there's any danger in redoing it but I don't know the commands. Just give a try to see if it's working or not before redoing it [06:27] hal_v2, actually thats what Im doing now as soon as I get the file Ill try it and let you know [06:27] K. [06:27] Ok, so I as the user have no idea if the SSL cert they made up will actually protect me? I still don't understand the workings of it but i guess it makes sense [06:27] mrmiggidude: sorry, completely forgot to pass this on: http://www.walkernews.net/2007/08/19/how-to-mount-and-read-cd-iso-image-in-linux/ [06:27] Thank you! === Starnestommy is now known as sheep [06:27] Where do I access my screenlets? [06:28] self signed SSL certs encrypt the data exactly the same as vendor-signed, you are paying for the big sticker that says "a recognised organisation is certifying this certificate as belonging to a particular server" [06:28] Yeah, it works on wine [06:28] dumbdum: gparted could probably take care of that [06:28] carandraug, ok I think i'll try that. I know for sure that my wireless drivers aren't working so I'll probably be redoing those. I believe I asked this question before but I might have missed your response: is there any way to check if my video drivers are installed correctly? [06:28] daztronik: which is half the reason self-signed certs are bad [06:29] daztronik: SSL certs aren't just used to encrypt data, they are used to verify the other party [06:29] help! my tty is 100% black, no text shown. my bootup also doesn't show anything when normally it would give me a detailed report of everything it's doing [06:29] correct [06:29] * BiohazardSteven slaps ultracheese around a bit with a large trout [06:29] carandraug, without being able to check the verbose option as I've already restarted a couple of times [06:29] where they were designed to encrypt traffic originally :P [06:29] Where can I access my screenlets, anyone? [06:29] StudentDriver: which drivers? [06:29] Thanks bobertdos! [06:29] daztronik: they were designed to protect confidential information [06:30] bobertdos, my video and cpu scaling drivers. I'm using an HP2133 [06:30] ok, so it's like a secure telephone connection -- you aren't 100% (as much as you trust the third party, that is) sure that the server with the cert is the legit server you want [06:30] daztronik: part of that is verifying who you are going to send the data too, especially with stuff like credit card numbers [06:30] so then...what IS a good laptop for Ubuntu these days? [06:30] SNuxoll: yep yep [06:30] Kuprin: I <3 my ASUS W5FM [06:30] I hear Lenovo is good, too. [06:30] bobertdos, if I were using windows I reckon that I'd be able to see that my video isn't installed correctly because it would look like garbage [06:31] why doesn't ubuntu have gnaural in the repository? === Guest31869 is now known as max [06:31] IBM contribute a lot to Linux now. I think freetype is maintained by one of their guys. [06:31] but I can't see any recognizable difference since I installed the drivers [06:31] Snuxoll: Ok, so it's like me emailing someone and asking "are you sure you're really my freind and not an impersonator" and he/she replies "Of course" === max is now known as Guest43133 [06:31] StudentDriver: Well, my first suggestion would be to look at the output of glxinfo in the terminal, for video. [06:31] StudentDriver, you can have several drivers to make them work. You can use the open source or the propiertary ones. By the default it comes with the open source. What's your graphics card? [06:32] RequinB4: exactly [06:32] hey bobertdos, do you know how I could clone my laptop hdd, I have a windoze Xp partition and a Mint Linux partition. I want to change my 40 gig drive to a 160 gig. [06:32] sweet [06:32] carandraug, good question...I believe I'll have to look that up again.\ [06:32] StudentDriver, search in lshw for it [06:33] Screenlets, anyone? [06:33] Hey guys, I have a wireless Netgear Card and I can't seem to get it to be recognized either in windows or linux... more important that it runs in linux anyhow... anyone have any ideas? [06:33] Can someone help me find where to get screenlets. [06:33] or where to access them [06:33] !pastebin [06:33] 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) [06:33] what would cause vertical bands to appear on the screen during video playback? [06:33] AWN won't start on my desktop does anyone know why? [06:33] mrmiggidude; gdesklets perhaps? [06:33] StudentDriver, the open source drivers will probably get you image. Unless you stumble upon some graphics problems you shouldn't try to use the proprietary ones [06:33] Im using KDE [06:33] hey [06:34] hi, i need some help [06:34] bastid: Nuh uh. [06:34] hello... [06:34] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [06:34] Here is my pastebin from lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38702/ [06:34] when I do ./configure [06:34] ideas? [06:34] dumbdum: Well, partimage (that we talked about yesterday) wouldn't quite do it because the partition sizes have to match with each other. So, I would suggest using a Live session to mount those partitions and just completely copy them from one to the other. I like using external hard drives for that kind of thing. [06:34] i need heeeellllooooo [06:35] you need hello? [06:35] hhhheeeeellllllppppp [06:35] carandraug: is there any particular reason for that? it's actually an IGP [06:35] i ment lol [06:35] lodous: How may we help you? [06:35] im trying to watch a movie [06:35] carandraug: Chrome9 HC IGP [06:35] on ubuntu 8.04 === Guest43133 is now known as max [06:36] !dvd | lodous [06:36] lodous: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [06:36] bobertdos how do you check error messages?

[06:36] its a movie === max is now known as Guest53577 [06:36] Yes, I used Gparted to copy the windows partition but the Linux partition wont copy! [06:36] Gheym, Sure I do .. I am not sure if my wireless card is being recognized [06:37] gparted? what about fdisk? [06:37] Gman99999: Most system logs are located in /var/log [06:37] you could even cop out and use cfdisk [06:37] Gman99999: You generally start by reading those. [06:37] StudentDriver, if there's a reason to choose open source instead of proprietary software? There's a whole philosophy about it. The one that drives Linux. In your case, it will make support easier [06:37] jesus fucking christ, FSF/Open Source != same thing === blu2 is now known as bluman2 [06:38] carandraug: sounds like a compelling enough reason for me [06:38] dumbdum: The Linux partition will not copy while it's active. You should use a Live session to do that. [06:38] StudentDriver, ok. Don't touch the video drivers. It should be working fine by default with the open-source [06:38] Gheym, wanna help?? [06:38] sure [06:38] Hey, bobertdos, I forgot to tell you my Ubuntu is working perfectly!! Dont ask 'cause I dont know!! [06:39] Gheym, Ive pasted my output from lspci here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38702/ [06:39] Yes i used the "live gpated' Cd [06:39] anyone here [06:39] yeah so linux's "open source" philosophy is pretty much take what ya can, give nothing back--binary blobs throughout the tree etc [06:39] dumbdum: Oh I see. Well, that's good [06:39] carandraug, should I do anything if I've already played with it before having this chat? [06:39] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnaural <--- Where is hardy support? [06:39] StudentDriver, there's more to it than just easier support. Ever heard of Richard Stallman? Take a look at wikipedia and read something about open-source [06:39] hi, i'm trying to report a bug for my touchpad[this is my first time]. in the debugging procedures, it is given to attach 6 separate files to the bug report, but in the launchpad bug report site there seems to be an option to attach only 1 file, am i doing this correctly? [06:39] open source also does not equal FSF & GNU [06:40] StudentDriver, if it ain't broken, don't try to fix it ;) [06:40] ioio: What's up? [06:40] but then how do you mod things? [06:40] hey, how do im trying to install a 2 disc game, but i cant unmount the first disc, how do i do it? [06:40] I still have the problem of the files in the garbage bin but all else is great!

[06:46] kk [06:46] carandraug, thanks for your help. I'm going to try and get my wireless working. [06:46] dumbdum: Now type ls, see if anything's in there. === Guest11154 is now known as max [06:46] i got a dell dimension 4600 and onboard 5.1 realtek chip [06:46] yes it lists those folders. [06:46] installed pulse audio since then nothing works no more :( [06:46] StudentDriver, that's okay. Don't know much about wireless other than pointing out links to you === max is now known as Guest30892 [06:47] http://data-rescue-linux.qarchive.org/ has a list of data recovery tools for linux, I haven't tried any of them. only had to deal with that kind of situation with Win/Mac [06:47] dumbdum: Okay, try the removal from here then-> sudo rm -irf .

[06:48] yes 8.04 [06:48] hitman1985: Why did you install Pulseaudio when Hardy already comes with it? [06:48] it said it in one of the tutorials :( [06:48] hitman1985: for what? [06:49] for skype sounds [06:49] any one knows how to install mod_secuirty on kubuntu hardy? [06:49] so now i got a panel on the top right what i dont even need [06:49] hitman1985: It was probably out of date. [06:49] i guess :( [06:49] if so then should i just reinstall everything ? [06:50] the sound didnt work correctly before eighter [06:50] hitman1985: but did it work at all? [06:50] No doesnt do anything :-( [06:50] i had sound for one app but if ie i got a message on pidgin it would stop all other sounds [06:50] at least my skype worked before [06:50] test [06:51] now i cant even get the shortcut in the menu bar anymore === Guest30892 is now known as max [06:51] if i reinstall skype [06:51] Corrupt HDD - I need a free open source program that preferably has a gui but doesn't have to that can look back through several deletions. I have photos the are trapped in a corrupted partition on a failing hdd. I have tried testdisk, dd, gnuddrescue, photorec with nothing recovered. I have tried fsck and several other cli commands. Can anyone tell me of another tool that I can install that has a gui frontend that is able to look back through several delet [06:51] but thats a minor (mostly i need my sound to work 100% ) [06:51] :D === max is now known as Guest78130 [06:51] :-? [06:51] hitman1985: Pulseaudio is just buggy in general. There's little we can do about it right now. We're all PRAYING that Intrepid improves Pulse. [06:51] On this computer I have (2) slide-in Hard Drive trays - (1) has Hardy Heron and (1) has Windows XP - When I turn off the Ubuntu HD tray and then boot into Windows my HD tray - My windows always resets my Time ahead by exactly 6 hours - minutes are the same - just the hours jump ahead - Does anyone have an idea what would cause this to happen ? The kernel ? ? ? [06:52] Help: before I could open up my 'Windows network' and access shared files from within. Windows can still access this PC, and its still sharing folders, but I cannot see my shared computer any more any ideas? [06:52] oh hey [06:52] hi, i'm trying to report a bug for my touchpad[this is my first time]. in the debugging procedures, it is given to attach 6 separate files to the bug report, but in the launchpad bug report site there seems to be an option to attach only 1 file, am i doing this correctly? [06:52] i dont need 1000% stuff [06:52] i m so happy with what ubuntu became [06:52] cant describe that in words [06:52] hello all, just got ubuntu to recognize my winmodem and get it to go on the internet. however, whenever i run firefox and visit a site it says that it is in offline mode, how do i put it in online mode? [06:52] Its after doing a bios update [06:52] annie_g, it has to do whether Linux is usung UCT or the BIOS time [06:53] i just now switched since all the vista stuff came up and i was filled up with the ms rip offs [06:53] so i built this one up for linux [06:53] and hoped that most bugs where gone [06:53] hello,test [06:53] i love it how it is, just need minor glitches fixed :) [06:53] !hi | bozy [06:53] bozy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:53] does anyone no where i would got to get a MPEG4 pluging , coz i downloaded a few family guys vids and it will only play audio [06:54] annie_g, UTC makes sense because it greatly simplifies changing timezones and daylight savings time. localtime is necessary if you dual boot with an operating system such as Windows, that only stores localtime to the hardware clock. [06:54] damien get vlc player :) [06:54] ok thanks [06:54] * Gun_Smoke is away: Recharging [06:54] anyone have a problem with multiple downloads being corrupt? it's fine with just one [06:55] hitman1985: glitches are usually cause by using the community repositories. granted some hardware takes a little work but that is due to the hardware manufacturers. [06:55] hi, i'm trying to report a bug for my touchpad[this is my first time]. in the debugging procedures, it is given to attach 6 separate files to the bug report, but in the launchpad bug report site there seems to be an option to attach only 1 file, am i doing this correctly?\ [06:55] Help. X won't start, my splash screen is dim. My TTY is _way_ higher resolution than it should be. I just want to restore to default usplash, how can I do so? [06:55] chao1 im trying to get better with linux as i walk it [06:55] to help ppl near me get into ubuntu as well [06:55] :'( [06:55] anything else in ubuntu thats as fun to mess around with as screenlets? [06:55] annie_g, try this (if you use Gnome). Right click in the clock and choose preferences. See if the UTC box is ticked? It shouldn't [06:56] I heart the terminal screenlet [06:56] hitman1985: thats good ;-). howtoforge.com is good === Guest78130 is now known as max [06:56] carandraug: Wow - that's incredible ! So when I go into BIO's my clock time is write - but when I totally turn off power via a key for tray - My time still changes - this is totally weird. [06:56] among other sites [06:56] sk33t0r: for me, I'd saw awn [06:56] sk33t0r: you could mess around with Compiz fusion [06:56] annie_g: and if the option for UTC isn't even there, there's a file you can edit. [06:56] i read stuff in ubuntuforums.com [06:56] yea Ive messed around with that already === max is now known as Guest41534 [06:57] but its just to much info for one issue and thats why i basicly did my mistakes so far [06:57] right [06:57] love to have irc working now [06:57] unfortunately my gfx card isnt that great on my laptop so my options are somewhat limited [06:57] ati x300 mobile [06:57] bobertdos: hang on wiull check. [06:57] will [06:58] annie_g, if you use UTC, you can leave the BIOS clock by Greewich that Linux will make the changes without chaging it. Windows needs to change the time in BIOS. That's the problem [06:58] is there a quick fix for this mess with my audio devices ? [06:58] since i got all that stuff on here twice i guess [06:58] i just want it to be like before [06:58] :) [06:59] hi, i'm trying to report a bug for my touchpad[this is my first time]. in the debugging procedures, it is given to attach 6 separate files to the bug report, but in the launchpad bug report site there seems to be an option to attach only 1 file, am i doing this correctly?

[07:00] carandraug: I checked my clock preference and there is no box or anything that say's "UTC" [07:00] damien: Synaptec [07:00] damien one sec i ll show you :) [07:00] damien: try apt-get [07:00] thanks [07:00] annie_g: Okay, go into a terminal [07:00] Are there any known issues with Lenovo y410 (sound and wireless) ...

[07:02] is there a way to find out your disc usage in ubuntu like when you r-click the c drive icon and get the pie chart in windows? [07:03] annie_g: Just find where it says UTC = yes, change it to no, save, and exit. [07:03] sytstem - administration - system monitor [07:03] thx hitman1985 [07:03] bobertdos, that rcS file is nice. All these rc files. I never know where to find what I want. rc.conf Arch and BSD style is much more simpler [07:03] :) np [07:03] hello to everyone.. im planning to install ubuntu to my macbook.. but i was reading i need to install using grub. because im using windows with bootcamp [07:04] first tab will show your available space [07:04] how do i use grub while installing.. whatever that is [07:04] bobertdos: ok already did - have rcS(etc/default) - gedit - window open [07:04] carandraug: I had searched FOREVER to find the right file to edit for this problem. I was so happy when I finally found it. [07:05] annie_gL Do you see UTC = yes? [07:05] annie_g: Do you see UTC = yes? [07:05] may i ask a question? [07:05] bobertdos, in Arch it's everything in one file. No symlink mess [07:05] Hi, i bought a new laptop, I'll get it maybe tomorrow. It is HP Pavilion dv5-1035. Anyone around with that laptop?

There was a divider and I deleted the divider and so my network icon and my battery icon vanished.

[07:07] carandraug: Wow, that must be nice, but doesn't the file get kind of long then? [07:07] sorry no [07:07] yeh but it only gives me an exe file ? [07:07] do you know how to open a terminal ? [07:07] annie_g: Well, yeah, if you want to. That should fix the problem either way.

[07:07] isnt exe. windows based [07:07] you dont want exe [07:07] bobertdos: yes did a save 1st - brings bback some my ol dos in windows stuff [07:08] how to i pull someone in a private chat ? [07:08] bobertdos, not really. And it's full of comments explaining everything [07:08] Okay, so am trying to organize my ubuntu desktop. I wanted to move my network settings from the right to the left. There was a divider and I deleted the divider and so my network icon and my battery icon vanished.

I believe the firefox side is setup correctly with network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris, but it's not working, and I would think Ubuntu would have to provide the NTLM auth data... any suggestions?

And remember that not everyone likes private message [07:08] h [07:09] annie_g: Yes, please, by all means :) [07:09] lostirc [07:09] Is there any way to restore everything that Ubuntu installs without having to reinstall Ubuntu? [07:10] carandraug: You know, I've been using Ubuntu, Fedora, and Solaris for a number of years now. I think I'm about ready to try something like Arch. [07:10] hitman1985, never used that one. Usually you just search for the nick in the user list and double click on it [07:10] hmm [07:10] bobertdos: ok might be a bit - want to actually reboot Hardy - then sut down Hardy cold - turn off Hardy drive then try my Windows tray - be back soon - thx [07:10] any better irc ?

[07:30] dsmith_: they can't possibly know how your network works like a normal sysadmin would [07:30] dsmith_: not to mention they get paid every time they have to do anything, so they try to draw things out as long aspossible [07:30] i updated Ubuntu and i use grub to dual boot. and my windows boot is gone got pasted over with title Ubuntu 7.10, memtest86+ somehow.. and i need to get into windows i have 2 months of programming i need to get [07:30] heh, nah I build the damn thing, they knew what I was using as one mentioned the word "grub" [07:30] lol [07:30] dsmith_: whereas a good sysadmin would be as efficient as possible [07:30] aye [07:30] SebNaitsabes, i have seen kubuntu on another pc, and it comes with a lot of specific utilities (kate, ktorrent, konsole, etc.) different from that used by default in Gnome. Installing kubuntu-desktop get in all such pkgs? [07:31] im sorry dmsuperman i dont see where you said [07:31] dstrbdfrk: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18 [07:31] dstrbdfrk: take a look at that === Guest88728 is now known as max [07:31] dstrbdfrk: btw, I googled "grub error 18" and that was the first result [07:31] enzotib: yep the default stuff. if you don't want the whole of KDE you can just have the few apps you want running in Gnome/Ubuntu [07:31] and just to thin I was finalljy getting samba, fstabd etc..working nicely [07:31] sigh, anyways goodnight [07:31] anything in particular Seb? === max is now known as Guest38411 [07:31] dsmith_: see ya [07:32] jkewlo: what do you want help with?

Any ideas on why gnome can't use direct rendering? [07:33] Jkewlo: There should be a sample Windows entry in the comments in your menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst) [07:34] Jkewlo: You just need to change the partitions, and copy it to the end of your menu.lst (and uncomment it, of course) [07:34] enzotlib: yep and Gnome apps can be run in KDE. meaning KDE users don't have to have the whole of Gnome installed for those apps [07:34] yeah [07:34] enzotlib: you should try kubuntu and kde4 I guess [07:34] so my part is sda2 [07:34] !windowmanager [07:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about windowmanager [07:35] would it be root (hd1,0) [07:35] !enlightment [07:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about enlightment [07:35] !fluxbox [07:35] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux.

[07:36] enzotlib: when installing kde it will probably ask you which one ot use GDM or KDM I sugest sticking with GDM thats the log in screen that Ubuntu uses. KDM is not as nice in my opinion [07:37] dstrbdfrk, are you trying to execute /dev/sda ? [07:37] dstrbdfrk, what command did you try? and what are you aiming to accomplish? [07:37] unop- dude... what is using 1gb of my ram??? thanks. [07:37] enzotib: when installing kde it will probably ask you which one ot use GDM or KDM I sugest sticking with GDM thats the log in screen that Ubuntu uses. KDM is not as nice in my opinion [07:37] idk exactly im trying to follow some instructions to grub-install /dev/sda [07:38] Still lost... [07:38] SebNaitsabes, i have seen it, and i agree [07:38] evilbug, the kernel allocates some amount of memory as a cache for files .. you can find out what amount exactly using the free command [07:38] How do i know that hd1 is it?? [07:38] what is the name of the application running the restricted drivers dialog? [07:38] dstrbdfrk, ok, which command gave you that error message then?

[07:50] my internal harddrive === Guest23018 is now known as max [07:51] this is wierd .... i can boot xandros, debian and mandriva on the eepc 1000 but not kubuntu === max is now known as Guest51182 [07:51] is the pen drive the only place you have ubuntu installed?

[08:00] if i'm not mistaken.. netatalk is installed with ubuntu.. at least thats what I remember from Fiesty.. [08:00] if you dont have Apple computers on ur network.. then you dont need it.. === Guest19774 is now known as max [08:01] I have netatalk installed (I think from the repos). But I can't connect with it. [08:01] I'm trying to set up my ubuntu box as a time machine device === max is now known as Guest46664 [08:02] Hello? [08:02] Hey does anyone here have any experience with running Ubuntu in vmware? [08:03] Theaxiom: it should just work [08:04] !netsplit [08:04] hmm.. keppi.. all i know about apple talk is how to uninstall it from ubuntu [08:04] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [08:04] Lunks, I am having trouble with the network adapater. [08:04] hmmm... thanks djhash :/ [08:04] Theaxiom: what about it? [08:05] Theaxiom: what kind of trouble? [08:05] Lunks, it is not working after installing vmware tools, hold on just found a thread, going to try it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=15237 === AccessEx1ess is now known as AccessExcess [08:06] It's supposed to work, dunno === Guest46664 is now known as max [08:06] I use vbox instead of vmware, Theaxiom [08:06] Lunks, vbox? never heard of it, I will look it up === max is now known as Guest79456 [08:06] I use vbox as well, but I run XP in it. [08:07] vbox = virtualbox [08:07] Theaxiom: virtualbox, it's a vmware alternative [08:07] Lunks, thanks [08:07] well, it just works for me... there's a gpl version, but I believe almost everyone uses the free non-gpl one (usb support and such) [08:07] My sound died [08:08] I was removing orphaned packages and whatever tool I used just started removing tons of stuff like crazy [08:08] But as stated on the forum post, we usually do the other way around - windows as a guest. [08:08] so now I'm missing stuff that came with ubuntu upon install [08:08] and I need to get all that stuff back === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [08:08] how can I do that? [08:08] mattzab: try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop package [08:08] or kubuntu [08:08] Hello, does any one know where gcc and g++ stores its headers and libraries ? [08:08] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop right? [08:08] whichever you're using right now [08:08] mattzab: yep [08:08] or is there a way to uninstall, then reinstall [08:09] mattzab: you should try installing, if not, reinstall [08:09] it *may* solve your issue [08:09] Does anyone know how to disable icons in the GNOME main menu? [08:10] Lunks, this is what I get [08:10] http://pastebin.com/m69b8fad [08:10] mattzab: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall [08:10] I believe it's what you're looking for [08:11] ah, thank you === Guest79456 is now known as max [08:11] kevin_, System > Preference > Main Menu === max is now known as Guest81498 [08:11] But if it's statinng you already have the newest version, possibly it won't work. You can always try, though. :) [08:11] didn't work [08:12] it asked me if i wanted to use up extra disk space to install it [08:12] it was one of those y/n questions [08:12] so kubuntu 8.04 will not boot on the eeepc 701 or the 1000 should i bother trying ubuntu hardy? [08:12] After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used. [08:12] my routing table seems to be incorrect would that cause network problems [08:12] mattzab: that is normal.. [08:12] NodeRazor: I've checked there, I don't see any option to disable icons. [08:12] What would you suggest? [08:12] is there a software that will let me mount a .cue or .bin file? [08:12] I'm still stuck [08:12] no sound! ahhh! [08:13] ùíù Theaxiom [i=Theaxiom@75.139.223.21] has joined #ubuntu [08:13] Hello?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:14] kevin_, what you can due is remove or move the /usr/share/icons folder. [08:14] that might due it. [08:15] just a little question, what menu option there is besides preferences on system? [08:15] Lunks, I have Preferences, Administration, and Control Center [08:15] Hmm duh [08:15] On 8.10, menu order has changed [08:15] so what are you saying here? [08:15] Lunks: this channel doesn't support 8.10. For 8.10, try #ubuntu+1 [08:15] ;-) I haven't tried Ubuntu 8.10 yet, will due soon... nice to see whats new. [08:16] NodeRazor: Doesn't that seem a little extreme?

[08:16] does anyone know what nick Richard stallmen uses on here? [08:17] NodeRazor: :'C [08:17] hi all i need to move a file from one location to another via the termnial app. cos i cant do it the normal copy paste way as i dont have permission. [08:17] NodeRazor: It goes better with the theme I'm trying to use. [08:17] Help: lost network connection - Windows share empty; anyone pse advise? [08:17] woozzy: mv with sudo. or gksudo nautilus [08:17] so there are no other options? just reinstall ubunto from zero? [08:17] alistair: smbclient -L . does it show the sharenames? [08:17] NodeRazor: For something like that, moving my /usr/share/icons folder seems trivial. [08:18] kevin_, ok I found it [08:18] kevin_, go to System > Appearance [08:18] NodeRazor: K. [08:18] kevin_, they you should have "Apperance Preference" window open. [08:18] does Richard Stallman talk on here? [08:18] kevin_, then ander Interface [08:18] need to contact him urgently [08:18] kevin_, disable show icons in menus ;-) [08:18] mattzab try "sudo apt-get -f install ubuntu-desktop" [08:19] that should due it.

[08:19] wols_, I just did smbclient -L (no ip) and nothing is shown do you want me to paste results? [08:19] NodeRazor: Much love rasta. [08:19] djhash, it says that ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version [08:20] kevin_, I did not know about this future my self lol [08:20] kevin, that's an elegant solution... otherwise, just backup then remove the contents of /usr/share/gnome/apps/ I think to accomplish the same thing [08:20] kevin_, just found it =) [08:20] hi [08:20] Does Richard Stallman chat on here? [08:20] kevin_, you mind sending screen shot of your theme ? [08:20] Sure thing, h/o.

[08:20] wols_, I see I got to give it a name I will try again sri [08:20] mattzab: then try "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop" then "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [08:20] kevin_, upload the image to tinypic.com please. [08:21] ufk: renice is how you do it after the fact === Guest69617 is now known as max [08:21] Flannel, ahh... what?

"renice" is used to adjust niceness of already running commands [08:22] oh cool thanks [08:22] kcman: Not that I know, but you can use bchunk to convert to an iso [08:23] djhash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38719/ [08:23] wols_, sri cant get my head around smbclient [08:23] hateball is that on the res? [08:23] mattzab: check /var/log/dpkg.log [08:23] !info bchunk [08:23] bchunk (source: bchunk): CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-6 (hardy), package size 13 kB, installed size 68 kB [08:23] alistair: I gave you the exact command [08:23] ufk: Also, you could always turn it off when you're not using it. [08:23] ah awesome, um, i have a portable harddrive mounted on my desktop and i cant unmount it, even removed it and restarted and still it is there [08:24] it's a developer laptop we always use it.

[08:25] at least not after a restart [08:25] wols_, bash: windows: no such file or directory [08:25] moDumass, did you try > umount -f [08:25] alistair: I don't know the IP of your windows box [08:25] NodeRazor, no but i surely will [08:25] moDumass, are you trying to unmount hard drive or remove a file from it? [08:26] wols_: will it show up in here if it was not removed by synaptic?

[08:26] thats what she said. [08:26] moDumass, yeah, then try running fdisk === max is now known as Guest42462 [08:26] and see which hard drive you need to unmount, unless you already know. [08:27] format c [08:27] moDumass, then run for example umount -f /dev/sdc [08:27] wols_, smbclient -L <10.1.1.5>. does that look like it should be?

[08:28] moDumass, after you unmount hard drives you can simply delete those shortcuts. [08:28] moDumass, useally they will be in /mount/ or /mnt/ [08:28] wols_, if so it comes back with no such file or directory [08:28] so for example you need to unmount sdc [08:29] wols_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/38720/ is from today right when I ran the remove thing. Can I just apt-get install each thing that it removed and everything should work again? [08:29] and mount a woman instead. [08:29] bam [08:29] umount -f /dev/sdc then rm -rf /home/ [08:29] woops [08:29] */mount/ [08:29] does MArk Shuttleworth come on here?

[08:31] moDumass, yes . === Guest42462 is now known as max [08:31] illmortal1: When you register, you should have set up an email address to associate with your account.

[08:34] moDumass, ok remove it after umount, sudo rm -rf /media/My\ Book/ [08:34] exactly like that [08:34] MrObvious, thanks, ive had the nick for yours, and i think if it offends really, cmon [08:35] thanks NodeRazor [08:35] moDumass, np.

[08:39] the hdd isnt connected to my machine so im experimenting [08:39] moDumass, I said first run fdisk and find the hd you want to unmount [08:39] MrObvious: I tried to rename .gnome2, but it didn't work [08:39] MrObvious: Thats exactly what I mean [08:39] is there ich7 raid support in the linux kernel? [08:39] MrObvious: :) [08:40] Noderazor if its not linked to my machine, can i even unmount it? [08:40] moDumass, or at least open "System Monitor" > File Systems [08:40] its a symbolic link i guess [08:40] paolo_: I hate to give you advice without you accidently wiping something important out. :\ [08:40] moDumass, yes [08:40] webfarmer: No clue. [08:40] paolo_: Does it say access denied or something? [08:40] Noderazor its showing it in system monitor [08:41] paolo_: You may have to do it from another account. [08:41] moDumass, ok do you know which one it is ? === Guest95920 is now known as max [08:41] MrObvious: no, but what happens is that it doesn't create thumbnails until I rename the file (e.g. filename.jpg -> filename.jpeg) [08:41] MrObvious: from another user, everything is fine === max is now known as Guest24759 [08:41] moDumass, you can probably figure it out by size. [08:42] moDumass, you need to find out the device name. [08:42] Hello. I'm trying to backup my MBR as this guide shows me: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/20/backing-up-the-mbr/ However, how do I know where my MBR is located? I've got 2 SATA drives [08:42] paolo_: Sometimes I just like removing ~/.* just to clean things out, but sometimes I get overzealous. I wouldn't recommend it though. [08:42] MrObvious: it is worse than that. I cannot choose any file.jpg as a desktop background [08:42] moDumass, like /dev/sda1 etc. [08:42] MrObvious: I guess that is the only thing for me left to do [08:42] paolo_: I'm just the type of person that if something like that bugged me I would just start over. [08:43] paolo_: I would make a backup just in case you accidently nuke something. [08:43] does commenting (#) also works at the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files ? [08:43] MrObvious: ok! ;-) probably mv ~/.* /tmp is a bit safer ! ;-) [08:43] MrObvious: yes! ;-) ok... I guess I need to do this when I am not running X, right? === hlab is now known as keram [08:43] paolo_: What is probably the safest route is to make username2 then move everything over then sudo userdel username && rm -rf /home/username/ [08:43] Achoth: the MBR is on the drive that you boot from.. [08:44] paolo_: Just log out of the one username. [08:44] MrObvious: ok... let me try. [08:44] MrObvious: thanks for the hint [08:44] paolo_: Well have fun. Back everything up so if you screw somethign up it isn't hard to fix. [08:44] MaximB: you are aware that -c is "a comment" when creating a user [08:44] noderazor yeh i know which one [08:45] djhash: So just either /dev/sda or /dev/sdb? Both these gives output "file or catalouge does not exist" [08:45] hello everyone, i just want to ask how can i manage to up my ubuntu server which will be used as file server and the user authenticated is coming from windows 2003 active directory, newbie here [08:45] whelp that was interesting [08:45] moDumass, what is the device name of it? === froosch_ is now known as froosch [08:45] !samba | king [08:45] king: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[08:46] MaximB: its the wrong way to do it and can provide issues [08:46] MaximB: use the tools [08:47] so unmount -f /dev/sdc1 or jsut sdc? [08:47] sdc I think [08:47] moDumass, NO, umount -f not unmount [08:47] The nice part is Linux will complain if you get it wrong. [08:47] MrObvious: sdc is not a partition [08:47] ikonia: what toold are you talking about ? cli commands ? [08:47] MrObvious: sdc1 is [08:47] okapi14, thanks you guys/people [08:47] MaximB: as am I [08:47] djhash: It says "/dev/sda" in a weird color. [08:47] See like I said ikonia Linux will complain.

[09:38] in /etc/apt/ [09:38] joke [09:38] is that short for "asian emo boy" [09:38] :/ [09:38] hwilde: makes no sense. puc says it there is ubuntu2 in ubuntu only [09:39] hwilde: we already know what is installed [09:40] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38733/ thats for you hwilde [09:40] azn_emo_boi101, thats an old link tho [09:40] copy again [09:40] oh [09:40] sometimes ctrl c doesnt go between aps [09:41] software sources I can't find it [09:41] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38734/ hwilde there [09:41] azn_emo_boi101, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste to paste.ubuntu.com [09:41] azn_emo_boi101, your versions should look like this here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38735/ [09:42] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38736/ there [09:42] * hwilde would suggest apt-get install pastebinit but... [09:43] why does that say gutsy [09:43] hi [09:43] I upgraded from gutsy [09:43] is there a way to edit my scheduled events [09:43] but by gui? [09:43] rather than crontab -e [09:44] ikonia i dont know what i did now but it works with precompiled files and the same squid.... [09:44] opr_, gcrontab [09:44] there are feisty in there as well [09:44] I have installed on hardy my epson al-c1100 according to the instruction of http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-AcuLaser_C1100. But when I try to print I will get an error in cups that says /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed. I am unable to solve this problem, anyone an idea? [09:44] hwilde, thanks [09:44] is it possible to optimize ubuntu for an i686 machine and not use the generic kernel? [09:45] So, what should I do guys? [09:45] yes you must compile your own one [09:45] what happens if I remove ubuntu-desktop? [09:45] azn_emo_boi101, you dont want to do that [09:45] Never mind. [09:45] azn_emo_boi101, nothing happens .. it's just a meta-paclage [09:45] Yeah [09:45] I guess I could use xfce [09:45] meta-package* [09:45] i tried running a rt kernel once and that ruined everything [09:45] (ruined updates that is) [09:45] cojones_, why dont you like the generic kernel [09:46] But I like gnome. [09:46] azn_emo_boi101, you still trying to fix the broken package states? [09:46] yeah [09:46] unop: the meta packages is no biggie, missing pixbuf-engines however is [09:46] azn_emo_boi101, try this. sudo aptitude install -f [09:46] unop, he has mixed gutsy feisty sources for a hardy install [09:46] azn_emo_boi101: if you can, try another mirror, update and dist-upgrade [09:46] How? [09:47] and dist-upgrade to WHAT? [09:47] I'm on hardy [09:47] not quite [09:47] bazhang: it still should upgrade to hardy only [09:47] I installed the vmware tools after installing ubuntu in vmware, and when I rebuilt the vmxnet module and restarted networking, my nic could no longer receive an ip address. How do I switch back to my old vmxnet module? [09:47] cause the packages are newer [09:47] How do I mirror? [09:47] bazhang, well, i'm surprised that has an impact .. it shouldn't do [09:47] also comment out the feisty repos and 3rd party ones azn_emo_boi101 [09:47] How? [09:47] That apittude install -f gave me some imput [09:47] hwilde: i'm seeking performance increases [09:47] azn_emo_boi101: show us your /etc/apt/sources.list [09:47] hello! I have a problem with my USB (I presume). Before whenever I connected my phone it was recognised, mounted, etc. Not it isn't, but the connection is fine as the phone start to charge its batteries. I've tried lsusb, but it didn't show anything that I would recognise as my phone. Any ideas? [09:48] but if he has a feisty and gutsy mix, why is it pulling packages newer than mine in hardy ? [09:48] wols I already did [09:48] Hold on [09:48] azn_emo_boi101, can you put that on a pastebin? [09:48] yay, it magically works now? [09:48] hwilde, hardy proposed is in there [09:48] hwilde: exactly. packages from intrepid even. and apt-cache policy shows the package came from hardy/updates [09:49] azn_emo_boi101, how attached are you to your system?

[09:50] azn_emo_boi101, if i were you, i'd let aptitude fix this situation .. by answering yes to it's suggestions [09:50] azn_emo_boi101: once upon a time you had intrepid or such in your sources.list [09:50] damn why does ubuntu take so much hard drive space? [09:50] wtf? [09:50] opr_, huh? [09:50] So, to what I just pastebinned, yes? [09:50] Theaxiom, how much [09:50] azn_emo_boi101, yes [09:50] hwilde, for my gcrontab, where does it need to be saved?

[09:52] Theaxiom, 4.6Gb is quite good when compared to how other OSes do [09:52] Theaxiom, then try the minimal installer [09:53] zamanfou, in memory [09:53] Theaxiom, and it doesn't work for everyone, and if you want sound you have to recompile sound. and if you change video cards you have to recompile your kernel, etc etc [09:53] !minimal [09:53] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[09:56] do I have to copy that entire thing to a text file? [09:56] webfarmer, you'll need to convert those to text files.. using an automated tool perhaps [09:56] If I have ubuntu installed in a vm, inside my vista, and I use RDP to connect, will it get stuck in an infinite loop? lol [09:57] isn't there a gui or something [09:58] Okay, sorry guys [09:58] unop, is there any syscall which will give me the info I need? [09:58] webfarmer, i'm not aware of any GUI apps .. except maybe openoffice [09:58] How do I remove gutsy repos and make sure I have Hardy? [09:58] webfarmer, there is a pidgin plugin that will speak your chats [09:58] You all saw my sources.list [09:58] azn_emo_boi101, comment out the lines that say gutsy, etc in /etc/apt/sources.list [09:58] Flannel: I didn't check the disks, but the one I used now was brand new, and those CDs have been working fine for [09:59] I don't see many that say hardy [09:59] me [09:59] what happens if he just deletes sources.list ? won't synaptic fix it [09:59] That is awesome ubuntu has terminal services. [09:59] aynone know where my virtual desktop size might be stored? i can't find it in Xorg.conf [09:59] or any in software sources gui [09:59] not sure how I'd easily verify the contents right now [09:59] Theaxiom: how can you use rdp to connect to ubuntu? [09:59] hwilde... I need a speech engine for webpages - that's all - why is this so difficult? [09:59] hwilde, not a wise thing to do [09:59] wols_ I meant to connect to vista [09:59] How do I edit sources.list? [09:59] synaptic won't autogen one ? [09:59] wols_, I just tried it, got booted to vista login screen, hehe [09:59] azn_emo_boi101, using your editor. gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [10:00] hwilde, it might do, tho i can't verify as i don't use gnome. [10:00] So any line with gutsy in it I add pound at the beginning? [10:00] azn_emo_boi101, right [10:00] zamanfou: kernel has no clipboard hence no syscall for it [10:00] is there something to install all the base things to run a server? [10:00] webfarmer, did you google this at all? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-363915.html How-To Install Click, Speak, a Web-page Reader (Text-to-Speech) Firefox Extension [10:00] enquest: install ubuntu server [10:00] I got this ubuntu box and even the "man" command is not installed [10:01] All my gutsy repos are already commented out [10:01] webfarmer, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=363915 Reload this Page How-To Install Click, Speak, a Web-page Reader (Text-to-Speech) Firefox Extension [10:01] But I see them in software sources gui [10:01] hwilde: TTS software is not what he wants [10:01] Oh but they're unchecked [10:01] azn_emo_boi101, ok, you might need to do this first. sudo aptitude update [10:01] wols_, he wants a program to speak his website ? [10:01] wols_, I see. Do you know how can I see what clipboard contains? [10:01] I've done that btu I'll rn it again [10:01] unop, can't he just copy somebody else's sources.lst ? [10:02] asdasfsd [10:02] Lol banhammer. [10:02] hwilde, he could .. but why tho? he already has his own [10:02] his seems borked [10:02] if i have a window manager that's not starting propperly, where should I look... X seems to load fine but the WM hangs [10:02] How can I speed up my Hardy? [10:02] Runs slower than XP [10:02] hwilde: he stated his problem wrongly [10:03] azn_emo_boi101: how much RAM do you have?

[10:03] 512 mb [10:03] webfarmer: festival [10:03] wols_, I already told him festival [10:03] :p [10:04] Okay, I ran aptitude update [10:04] Can i Update packages now?

[10:05] azn_emo_boi101, then get a better video card and more ram. [10:06] I'm on a laptop [10:06] I can hardly upgrade the card [10:06] there is no way vista runs faster on that laptop with only 512mb of ram. [10:06] XP [10:06] not vista [10:06] Can I cancel updating? [10:06] turn off compiz and get rid of awn then [10:07] also remove ppa repos and all 3rd party repos [10:07] and pray you don't use a SIS videocard [10:07] azn_emo_boi101, and back up your files NOW. [10:07] lol [10:07] wols_, i think bazhang said he had feisty and gutsy sources .. not necessarily packages .. and his grep of dpkg -l for gtk packages showed he had newer packages than hwilde did. [10:07] yeah he had three newer packages, but older repos [10:08] go figure [10:08] unop, he has hardy proposed sources as well [10:08] * hwilde thinks he tasted the intrepid and didn't like it [10:08] hwilde, how do you come to that conclusion? :) [10:08] how did he get 4ubuntu3 [10:09] that is beyond hardy [10:09] Guys, can I cancel updating? [10:09] hwilde, hardy proposed [10:09] hardy proposed make it into intrepid? [10:09] Hello :) [10:09] azn_emo_boi101, why do you want to do that? [10:09] How do you copy/paste on Ubuntu server CLI ?

[10:38] Rafik: does it work when you do this: 'sudo xrandr -display :0 --output VGA --auto' ?

[10:40] am i correct in thinking that i should not use fsck while the filesystem is still mounted? [10:40] expl0ited, sudo [10:40] hwilde, a folder in my desktop... [10:40] dougsko, scp between the machines [10:40] Rafik: but the external screen is still blank? [10:41] Expl0ited, if you want to adjust rxvt settings.. create an ~/.Xdefaults file and add your settings in [10:41] azn_emo_boi101: you don't need sudo for locate.. only for updatedb :P [10:41] idk [10:41] if you don't have permissions [10:41] Rafik: oh, sorry [10:41] unop I found the examples file :( Im an idiot ... [10:41] soundray, I'm on the command line ont the external screen [10:41] hwilde: that would technically work, but it wouldnt exactly make my workflow more efficient [10:41] dougsko, you should look into Synergy https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto [10:41] Rafik: please try Alt-F7 now to see if X displays on the external [10:41] azn_emo_boi101, sudo locate will usually give you different results to locate .. [10:42] startx ? [10:42] oh [10:42] Rafik: no, Alt-F7 [10:42] hwilde: synergy is awesome, but there's no X on any of these machines [10:42] azn_emo_boi101, you shouldn't use sudo unless you want to search for files that don't belong to you [10:42] erm, so maybe i just hope 4530 will support later then. well, my old PC is good enough until next ubuntu release then :P [10:42] unop: true that. [10:42] soundray, black screen [10:42] well, he said he may not have permissions [10:42] dougsko, make a samba share and mount it on all the machines ? [10:42] Rafik: okay, try Ctrl-Alt-F9 [10:42] DNAngel, you need to try ultimate. [10:43] azn_emo_boi101: sorry about this misunderstanding. its ok. [10:43] Yep [10:43] sorry [10:43] kk, I'll download it. maybe will done in 1 month xD.I I mean need user GUI checkdisk for ubuntu [10:43] hwilde: nah. basically it either comes down to some cool copy/paste trick i havent discovered yet, or im just gonna have to use the mouse [10:43] soundray, Rafik : sounds to me like xorg doesn't have the setup for the second screen [10:44] soundray, blinking "_" on the external monitor [10:44] DistroJockey: indeed. That's what we're trying to fix with xrandr ( Rafik) [10:44] hwilde: bash does have a vi mode, maybe visual mode works in that...

They can current ssh in with no problems but, using sftp they get permission denied. In what config files are sftp users explicitely allowed or denied?

Which would be the broken laptop screen? [10:46] hi all [10:46] DistroJockey: I'm assuming that there is one instance of X running, in which case the display number would be :0 [10:46] plz name a good html editor for ubuntu [10:46] dabbu: gedit [10:46] soundray, logged in [10:46] soundray, Rafik : yeah, that would be the default (broken) one [10:46] I just installed OO.org 3 beta2 onto an ubuntu system, and now I'd like to have all files opened with OOo 2.4 opened with 3.0 instead.

[13:00] Kate_Mins: ok try sudo modprobe ath_pci [13:00] rexus: that allows oss to pipe its output through ALSA [13:00] Massiv0r: it's possible that it only takes effect after the next login [13:00] ActionParsnip: done [13:00] rexus: if you must.

[13:31] Pici: I did that [13:31] miki: you need to modify /etc/fstab with root access and reboot, the ntfs partition isnt writable so you are viewing only the temporary storage of stuff [13:31] ra21vi: try "find" on your disk [13:31] soundray: lol i cant enter sites [13:31] soundray: it gives an error [13:31] abiword* akregator* alacarte* amor* anjuta* apport-gtk* apturl* ark* arts* [13:31] artsbuilder* at-spi* atlantik* atlantikdesigner* blinken* bluez-cups* [13:31] bluez-gnome* brasero* brltty-x11* bug-buddy* compiz* [13:31] compiz-fusion-plugins-extra* compiz-fusion-plugins-main* compiz-gnome* [13:31] compiz-plugins* compizconfig-settings-manager* contact-lookup-applet* [13:31] Massiv0r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Just do a 'head -n 10 templist' to see which ones [13:35] is it possible to create an ssh vpn connection without enabling the root account? [13:35] soundray: just to be sure,can we try to do this with all? [13:36] dmizer: ssh vpn? [13:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN [13:36] welp time for that thing we humans call sleep. [13:36] haha [13:36] `you can do a portforward, yes. that's not really a VPN and it'S doable without root privs [13:36] Massiv0r: yes. Are you fairly sure that templist contains nothing but package names? [13:36] consider yourself Expl01ted! [13:36] soundray: yes and after each one contains one "*" [13:36] when i try to log in I get an "authentication failed" pop up. how do I resolve this problem? [13:36] Massiv0r: okay [13:37] soundray: it installed some programs but i think we should try for all [13:37] Expl01ted: Do you hav a support question? If not, #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. [13:37] dmizer: no. interfaces can only be manipulated or made by root [13:37] soundray: just to be sure [13:37] Massiv0r: try: cat templist | tr -d '*' | xargs sudo apt-get -y install [13:37] wols_: thank you.

[13:37] dmizer: a single portforward can be done over ssh however [13:37] without root [13:37] i am thinking of ditching windows with my new pc that i am building and using ubuntu. can i ask a few quiestns first? [13:37] soundray: thats for all right? [13:37] !ask | kered [13:37] kered: 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. :-) [13:38] Massiv0r: yes [13:38] wols_: i am aware of this, i'm looking for a vpn solution to isolate a portion of my network. [13:38] how do i know that all my hardware will work woth ubuntu for sure? [13:38] kered: boo the live cd and see [13:38] !hcl | kered [13:38] kered: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [13:38] soundray: lol fixed everything [13:38] kered: The standard desktop install is the live cd. Also keep in mind if your hardware doesn't work out of the box or with the live cd. It still may be supported. [13:38] soundray: if these were Windows i would definately need Format :D [13:38] Massiv0r: phew. I could tell you were getting nervous ;) [13:39] i loce to play counter strike battlefield series and i use adoble lightroom and photoshop CS3. can i use those in ubuntu? [13:39] soundray: nah i was already planning format to fix the Fonts sh*t cause i dont see it able to work :P [13:39] **love [13:39] b43-fwcutter - do i need this? [13:39] kered: find out what chips, not just hardware names you use [13:39] kered: Counter strike yes battlefield 2 sucks in wine. and There are ways to make photoshop work. But you should look at some of the open source alternatives. [13:39] kered: what PC is it? laptop or desktop? [13:39] Massiv0r: okay, if you think so... is it really that bad [13:39] ? [13:39] kered: You may be able to use some of those under Wine, but there are no native versions of those applications,. [13:40] what is a god open source alt to photoshop and lightroom? [13:40] soundray: actually i love smooth fonts and i can't stand non - anti-aliasing or none full hinted fonts :D [13:40] does a website list all the games wine will play? and are they easy to install? [13:40] I get an "authentication failed" error with I try logging in. How can I get logged in? [13:40] kered: Gimp, rawstudio [13:40] !winehq | kered [13:40] Anyone use gmail-notify?

[13:40] soundray: if u could help me configure rgb n stuff and worked i would be very thankful. [13:40] kered: appdb.winehq.org [13:40] hi, is there an option that can hide some of the system tray icons like in Windows? [13:41] Gin: well you can remove the notification area [13:41] soundray: the problem is only on "RGB" hinting [13:41] kered: on www.winehq.org, there is a list of supported games and programs, with comments [13:41] i have not used linux since mandrake. is ubunu easier? [13:41] Massiv0r: are you sure that what you want to achieve is even possible? I think some of the techniques you get with e.g. Mac OS X are patented, and therefore not used by Ubuntu [13:41] I use Ubuntu and I'm happy with it [13:41] kered: Well the support is what is nice about ubuntu. and the packaging system of apt. [13:41] !best | kered [13:41] kered: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [13:41] I was at work yesterday, listening to some tunes on Amarok, and this morning when I came in and fired up amarok and hit play, I got "Audio output unavailable; the device is busy." ... I tried running "/etc/init.d/alasa-utils restart" and I continue to get the same message. Firefox has been restarted since then, so I know that it's not hogging the sound server. Any ideas as to how I can find the culprit and/or prevent this from happening? [13:41] histo, I want it there, but they are taking too much room from the panel leaving less room for the taskbar [13:42] kered: do not install version 0.9.59 for games - only some of last versions, searcch for .deb on www.winehq.org [13:42] kered: I'd say ubuntu is easier to administer than Mandrake [13:42] Gin: well you can put them on the lower panel or create a new panel? [13:42] dmizer: no [13:42] histo, I only want 1 panel [13:42] z_: then you do not need b43-fwcutter [13:43] Gin: ahh. The other option is a dock at the bottom similiar to the macs [13:43] histo, the doc does not have a notification area :\ [13:43] Gin: but as far as I know there is no easy way to remove certain ones. I guesss you could try playing around with skip pager options or someting in compiz or devilspie [13:44] hi! on my desktop, when i connect a new hdd, the icons often get on each other! How can i make my desktop automatically avoid this and keep some order on the desktop? Right clicking and selecting "keep my desktop in order" won't help. [13:44] Is there an 8.04 LTS Live iso availabe? [13:45] oldenslacker: Yes, the Desktop CD is a Live CD === agra_ is now known as agra [13:45] Massiv0r: have you seen the .fonts.conf at the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts ? [13:45] Can anyone here recommend a good, modern motherboard with LGA775 socket, DDR2 or DDR3, that works well with Ubuntu? (costs are irrelevant) [13:45] shoot my motherboard is NOT listed. that sucks [13:45] kered: try the live CD. I predict that it will work just fine [13:45] kered: what chipset? [13:46] Pici: Thx... I must be doing something wrong. When istalling, I see partitioner started up... when that happens I ctrl-alt-del... I need to know what the partitioner is goig to do to my drives? [13:46] hold on. let me check, i just ordered it [13:46] kered: board brandnames are rarely important. chips are [13:46] eop: #hardware [13:46] oldenslacker: Isnt there a manual paritioning option?

I just hope that I haven't lost my /home files :( [14:23] Cheery: different package selection. the server version installs no X window system for example. [14:23] Cheery: the server edition has no GUI. If you're unsure, get the desktop. There is nothing that server can do that desktop can't. [14:23] robelliott2125: are they on a separate partition?

[14:31] what is the full command line i type in terminal to get K9copy? [14:31] damien: you've already been told several times [14:31] damien: sudo apt-get install k9copy [14:31] thanks === K is now known as Guest76066 [14:31] its just taking Abit to work it all out [14:32] hi, I have a problem, my boostra procedure aborts because rc-default tells me it cannot find /bin/sh. previously the error was "access denied" and I did boot from the live cd and changed the permission from rw-r--r-- to rwxrwxrwx is there something else / different I need to do? [14:32] !usernames | damien [14:32] damien: Please prefix what you're saying with a name to avoid confusion. See !tab [14:32] renato__: did you chroot when you booted from live cd? [14:32] no [14:32] renato__, is /bin in the PATH variable? [14:32] renato__: then you#d change live cd settings and not your disk ones [14:32] hello another problem i dont have sounds in my ubuntu [14:32] I could not cheroot as I had no access to /bin/sh and neither /bin/bash [14:33] !sound > Valentine [14:33] Valentine, please see my private message [14:33] hi [14:33] <_Zeus_> hi [14:33] no, I did mount the hd filesystem and made sure I changed the version on the hd [14:33] renato__: rc-update only changes /etc. and that is on the live cd [14:33] and indeed something changed, previously I was told "permission denied" and now "it is not there" [14:33] renato__: "mount" [14:34] let me explain again: [14:34] Ana [14:34] yes there were auto auto i selected Alsa [14:35] renato__: well? [14:36] is it possible to configure grub to load a root that is not on hd(0,0) in 8.04.1? [14:36] <_Zeus_> hb: yes [14:36] hb: of course [14:36] I had a system, prevuiously working. One day I realize I cannot access it. I get to the system, I try to reboot it. it does not, it tells me it cannot execute/bin/sh. I see the /bin/sh priviledges (the one on the HD I have mounted in the meantime) they are rw-r--r--, I changed them in rwxrwxrwx then I try to reboot and I am told the /bin/sh file does not exist (but it is there) so I am left wondering what to do [14:36] well then I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong then. [14:36] <_Zeus_> i believe you need to use the "map" command in GRUB [14:36] map? [14:36] <_Zeus_> lemme find a guide [14:37] renato__: /bin/sh is only a symlink. check the file it maps to. and ask yourself why your permissions are all wrong [14:37] renato__: setting perms to 777 for binaries is a very bad thing to do. use 755 and check owners too [14:37] _Zeus_: no you don't [14:37] menu.lst has the drives listed correct. hell the root is listed by uuid. but grub refuses to boot off of anything but /dev/sda. sda is not my boot device, infact it's a disk in a softRAID0 [14:37] hb: what do you want to mount from that other hd? [14:38] I put them like they are in my desktop system, and they were rwxrwxrwx owner root:root, I set them the same way [14:38] hb: is your kernel on a raid? [14:38] <_Zeus_> wols_: he wants to boot to the other hard drive [14:38] _Zeus_: and map is not the way to do it [14:38] setting the proper hdx,x command is [14:38] wols_: I'm using the general kernel supplied in the 8.04.1 alternate image. because it has support of the md and device mapper drivers I can only assume that's a yes. [14:39] hb: your grub is not the kernel. so support for md in the kernel is irrelevant [14:39] wols_, sorry i read your question wrong [14:39] grub is needed to actually load the kernel. answer my question [14:39] hb: also, pastebin your menu.lst [14:40] wols_, no the kernel is not on the raid, the kernel is on ide1 (but being identified as /dev/sdc) [14:40] soundray I did all that and its still not letting me in, the username is right and I typed the password out exactly the same, it still wont let me login :@ [14:40] cppmonkey: ctrl+alt+f1 and try to login there. check your capslock and numlock keys [14:40] wols_, that's not gonna be possible atm. the system hasn't gotten out of the install setup. unless I load the kernel on /dev/sda (with the drives out of rad) it won't even boot. it just returns error 15 [14:41] you have a livecd. so you can pastebin the content of menu.lst [14:41] wols_, how? [14:41] hi. Ubuntu 8.04, + jack sound server + tascam us-122 audio interface causes my system to freeze completely. Didn't used to. Anyone have any idea how I can diagnose this problem? [14:41] you don't need to boot from the machine to get the menu.lst [14:41] sorry, i've just reinstalled ati drivers to the nvidia-glx-new and my screen goes blank after I reboot and I can't do anything (i'm on alt+f1 now) - how can I get back to old drivers ? [14:41] wols, both are off, I do have capitals in the password but I use shift. Ill just give the ctrl+alt+f1 now [14:41] if your /boot is not in raid, simply mount the partition [14:42] then check grub/menu.lst [14:42] wols_, I know how to read the men.lst. that's not the problem [14:42] wangor: reinstall them [14:42] hb: it is if it says hd0,0 [14:42] it does say 0,0 [14:43] !html | cygoku [14:43] cygoku, please see my private message [14:43] hb: speak to me again when you can do what I asked you. goodbye [14:43] but even with /dev/sdc idented as root(hd2,0) it still wont boot. [14:43] hola [14:43] hb: device.map too of course [14:43] wols_, still now joy :s [14:44] I didn't think of the map... [14:44] cppmonkey: error messages? [14:44] however, if that doesn't work, how do I pastebin from the installcd? just copy line by line? that seems error prone. [14:44] install pastebinit [14:44] and the live cd has a full X [14:45] wols_ not the alternate. the standard ed. doesn't have a kernel with the md driver [14:45] for the last time: you said your /boot was not on a raid [14:46] It's not. [14:46] do it. THEN come back. [14:46] guys, i want to read a AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file [14:46] how can i do that ? [14:47] <_Zeus_> what is AppleDouble?

[14:51] Pici, the screenshotes will give you the idea.. [14:51] one of them [14:52] allu1, you must configure the launcher to use this command. gksudo synaptic [14:52] is there any reason why usplash would appear inverted on shutdown but not startup?

[14:52] I deleted the workspace switcher panel (for AWN) [14:52] It just says that I have to install them before I can add accounts. [14:52] Apple have their own binary format for transferring files by email. Man, apple suck [14:52] <_Zeus_> you can add it back, or use ccsm [14:52] But I have no any idea how to install them? [14:52] In Hardy Heron. [14:52] _Zeus_: well maybe it has to be done twice one for the workspace switcher and one for compiz [14:52] GuySoft: Well, theres the update manager, that will automatically show up when you updates available, but there really isnt anywhere to pull the news from.

[14:56] I mean, voip? [14:56] If not, then I don't need empathy anyway. [14:56] tried amsn? [14:56] Pici, but i guess if you dont know of anything that does that.. ill have to modify that app.. i found it trying to build what i just described you.. i was looking for some dbus call [14:56] empathy is a bit bugged yet, tbhu [14:56] Well, when I tried it, then there was no VoIP possibility...

[15:17] beam: fair enough, if you have a static ip address and you are connected straight to the internet, then it's as easy as buying a domain name and pointing it to your ip address. [15:17] It advocates having a prompt that's invisible in the wall of text you get from commands [15:18] emorris: ok thanks [15:18] beam you would still probably need to get reverse dns permission from your isp [15:18] Im trying to get android sdk working but all i get is [15:18] which they most likely wont give u [15:18] Android Editors (0.7.1.v200808141910-98467) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui". [15:18] Altreus-work: well.. I suppose the output from the commands is what you're normally interested in.. not where the cursor might be at the moment [15:18] amenado: _Zeus_: Slart: another question. Is there a way to make a program switch it's terminal 'dependency'? So like say I'm getting output from a program in a certain terminal, can I open another terminal and make that app sort of switch to the other one without having to restart it? [15:18] eQ then how'd he get around that? [15:18] u dont get around that [15:18] eQ: and how do i do that? [15:19] Slart: But I'm actually interested in where the output *starts* [15:19] u can point a domain to your ip address through an a record [15:19] Which is at the big bright blue hostname somewhere up there [15:19] is there any reason why usplash would appear inverted on shutdown but not startup? [15:19] perillux: hmm.. not sure if there is a command to do that.. but try running "screen".. it's useful in so many ways [15:19] u will have to use an open nameserver like dnsexit.com [15:19] perillux-> you can not once the process is started [15:19] or u can use dynamic ip sites that forward to your dynamic ip [15:19] Altreus-work: but the prompt will be where any text you type will end up [15:19] no matter what u cant be your own host without reverse dns [15:19] Altreus-work: or are we talking about the same thing? [15:19] amenado: ok thanx [15:19] and i doubt he will run a nameserver from home [15:19] amenado, if i wanted to run a script, a program at start-up, would i add that to the rc.local file? [15:19] Slart: yes... but I want a coloured prompt to find the *previous* prompt [15:20] it just doesnt work like that unless u have a decent connection and reverse dns [15:20] SeaPhor-> thats one way [15:20] Altreus-work: ah.. I see what you mean [15:20] Slart: e.g. apt-cache search apache [15:20] Whenever I go to watch a dvd in VLC it opens opens up like its going to play and then it minimizes the player and wont allow me to eject the disc after that. Anyone know why? [15:20] Pici: I wrote an e-mail to the site's maintainer as you suggested. [15:20] I guess piping it to less is one way [15:20] QUESTION: what is the difference between gDesklets and aDesklets? [15:20] eQ so how does one gets around that reverse dns? [15:20] but sometimes I expect less output than I get [15:21] they dont get around it [15:21] also, pipe to less doesn't catch stderr [15:21] Altreus-work: it doesn't really bother me usually.. I think I do a "clear" if I find I'm getting lost [15:21] amenado, thats the only way i could think of, is there a better way? [15:21] I find that in gnome-terminal, clear merely scrolls down a long way [15:21] how do I add extent flag to a file ? [15:21] Altreus-work, that's cuz it hopes the text will be out your buffer by then [15:21] type it a few more times and it will [15:21] Altreus-work, it's the same for a lot of terminal emulatorys [15:21] s/y// [15:22] !extent [15:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about extent [15:22] u can change your buffer to a lesser amount of lines [15:22] !sex [15:22] Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu.

Yes I have setbit on cpufreq as the doc suggested. What could be wrong? [15:23] In fact I'd probably only use clear in that situation where I want it out of the buffer but it won't go [15:23] When I try to start winecfg using the terminal I get an error, it says "fixme:reg:enumerate_key Information class 4 not implemented" anybody knows what's causing this?

[16:18] Hi, can someone explain 'keyring' concept! [16:18] TJ-Linux: I think /home has all your personal settings.. bookmarks in firefox and so on.. /etc is more for system wide settings.. dns, networking, hard drives etc [16:18] hi, is there a way to install amsn with audio call support on ubuntu? I'm looking for gstreamer-farsight 0.12.9 [16:18] On the latest version of Ubuntu, i recently downloaded, everything is working fine except for the internet. I can't seem to get the settings right for it to work. i go system -> admin -> network. then setup a wired static ip address which i know is right due to this windows working fine, DNS is entered, am i missing something? everything is ticked and enabled [16:19] Diabolus: you might have to set a gateway too.. not sure if ubuntu does it for you in some way [16:19] wols - I disable it, and just lose my internet connection entirely. Is there some other settings I need to set up first? [16:19] ok thanks Slart. [16:19] slart: yeh i set the gateway whilst entering the static ip information [16:19] hey guys, i think im in need of some help [16:20] i've tried DHCP, no success ther either [16:20] Diabolus: ah.. ok.. well.. then I can't think of anything else to configure [16:20] Thurston: temme [16:20] so long story short, i found out the hard way that ati is a bother with ubuntu, and theyre proprietary driver....sucks. [16:20] Thurston: and [16:20] so far so good on the mail front! [16:20] i found how to install the opensource driver for my ati radeon xpress 200 card, and how to enable 3d acceleration [16:20] hi Agere Systems 56k WinModem unable to get drivers for this chip tired any link? [16:20] anyway to reset the network from terminal, as in reboot it? [16:21] i was wondering..... shoul di use the open source drivers, or the proprietary [16:21] Diabolus: you can always try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [16:21] couse with ati's drivers, compiz-fusion with totally F up my pc, and i found this might be becuase ati's drivers are so old [16:21] if the open source drivers work, but not the proprietary, it seems like you only have one choice? [16:21] server irc.undernet.org [16:21] Now, im wondering if there is a way to change the host/domain from Name.ISP.net to Name.Registered-Ip.Net (when the Registered-Ip.Net) points to the Ip address already [16:21] true [16:21] Thurston: depends on what card it is.. older ati cards have really good open source drivers.. [16:21] yeah, thats what im thinking about doing [16:22] hmmm [16:22] right i will try that, thanks for listening [16:22] yeah. you guys just helped me make up my mind ;) haha [16:22] Thurston: you can try typing !ati in here... for the usual links [16:22] @thurstion they are good :) [16:22] does frostwire still exist [16:22] !p2p [16:22] Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information [16:22] skore [16:23] thanks guys. you've been a hlep [16:23] only yesterday i f ound out that i have to edit my xorg.cnf file with the sudo command in the terminal...im such a linux noob [16:23] Thurston: we've all been there.. no worries =) [16:24] haha. thanks a bunch guys [16:24] hi! help me please.. i have ubuntu in english, but i want write in hebrew too.

[18:47] I have a server running ubuntu, and I recently changed the PCI USB 1.1 to a PCI USB 2.0 since the network card is USB, and now networking randomly stops working, I can't access my samba share, ssh into the machine or ping it, and the machine itself cannot ping anything either [18:47] I am just trying to mount it in my home directory [18:47] lesshaste: do you want users to be able to mount any iso, or just one or two in particular?

I am not trying to mount it anywhere except in my own directory [18:48] soundray, just one or two [18:48] lesshaste: in that case, I would go down the fstab route [18:48] !fstab > lesshaste [18:48] lesshaste, please see my private message [18:48] ok thanks [18:49] anyone know of an all-in-one solution like vhcs for ubuntu ?

[18:49] onthefence928, read the gpl docs online [18:49] onthefence928, it's very simple to do [18:50] onthefence928, the question of usability is up to you.. do you want it to be usable or not? [18:50] lesshaste: an example line would be "/home/lesshaste/file.iso /home/lesshaste/isomountpoint auto noauto,users,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0' [18:50] do they accept .JAR executables? [18:50] 这里都是说英语的吗? [18:50] is there one way to install ubuntu at my axim x51 pocket pc ? [18:50] onthefence928, does who accept them? if you want it open source you will have to provide the source of course [18:50] soundray, thanks [18:50] tona: no [18:51] lesshaste: it's usuable, it's just all console-based, so there's no windows or drop boxes or anything [18:51] fuck this. damn crap ass family is not making it friggen easy to concentrate on anything. [18:51] my terminal always starts in ~/bin when using the short cut keys but, in ~/ when using the menu, how can I change this? [18:51] crlcan81: That language is not appropriate here.

[18:51] im having a problem with a 'phantom' dual monitor [18:52] Adakos: yeah I installed samba (apt-get install samba) [18:52] x thinks i have two monitors, while I only have one [18:52] thus, i can only see half of the desktop [18:52] micron: that's all i can think of, sorry [18:52] techII: what video driver do you use? [18:53] lesshaste: ok i'm gonna go back to tweaking it so it's a bit more noob-proof add some author info to the file and create a read-me, then i'll look up that GPL license stuff, i really just wanted to knmow if teher were any language-feature requirements [18:53] it's a 82801/BAM AC'97 [18:53] onthefence928, no language feature requirements.. you just have to provide the source basically [18:53] mmmmmmm [18:53] running xsane as user fails: "no devices available" sudo xsane works. so rights need to be tweeked. what needs to be set to what? [18:53] lesshaste: cool, where do you think i should post it to make it available? [18:54] onthefence928, there are many licenses of course.. if you don't want to provide the source you can pick another one :) [18:54] onthefence928, on your web page? [18:54] lesshaste: i'm all for open-source so i'll go open-source [18:54] onthefence928, and then announce it somewhere like freshmeat ? [18:54] soundray, fglrx, it might have something to do with me using the fglrx-control package to output to a tv (going back into it, it only gives options for one monitor) [18:54] CarlFK: did you have to install a firmware file? [18:54] how can i change the color of the kickoff bar in kde4? [18:54] how i can terminate X without it restarting? [18:54] onthefence928, or if lots of people will work on it you can use sourceforge [18:54] so is it in the FAQ how to set up the sound thing? [18:54] estunecle, you need to kill gdm [18:54] mmmmmm [18:54] hi everyone, i'm having a bit of a problem with installing ircii-pana, it seems to be a pretty known problem from google, and it just keep running into error after error after error when trying compile from source.. im new to ubuntu but i believe that you can install debian packages correct? and if so does anyone know if there is a deb package for bitchx?

[18:55] soundray: not on the linux box. i plugged the scanner into a usb xp box, xp loaded the firmware, plugged into linux, ran xsane [18:55] the load cylce count bug... [18:55] lesshaste: i don't have a webpage or blog, never felt like keeping up a webpage and never felt i had anything to say that's interesting enough for a blog [18:55] pc04: yes, you said that before. Do you have a question? [18:56] anyone experienced with ion3? [18:56] Cause ZSNES is the only program that's causing a problem. [18:56] lesshaste, the bios bug which ubuntu ignores and does excessive power management kills the hardrive... [18:56] soundray, it appears so [18:56] lesshaste and it's a small one-man project really [18:56] hey who ever had that hp pavilion dv6000 and couldn't get the mic to work, i figured it out... [18:56] msg me if you're here [18:56] any body help?? [18:56] onthefence928, sure [18:56] CarlFK: open System-Administration-Users and Groups and see if you are allowed to use the scanner. [18:57] I've got a Gateway E3300 I believe it was last time I checked. [18:57] Bobby, I don't know it but maybe it's in the ubuntu forums? If so, please give me a link :) [18:57] Hey, anyone know why the phatch site has been down for several days now? [18:57] Bobby: are you sure you're actally suffering it? [18:57] soundray: "use scanners" is checked [18:57] heya folks. [18:57] CarlFK: were you calling xsane from a terminal window? [18:58] is there any way of checking the actual computer model name on terminal? [18:58] soundray: yes: carl@dell29:~$ xsane [18:58] anyone have any recommendations on the simplest MTA for 8.04 ? [18:58] HEH.. someone has my name. [18:58] I just setup ubuntu on my laptop and it says its getting connected to the network, and it lets me ping the router, but when I type "route" it hangs and I can't actually get anywhere outside my network. [18:58] CarlFK: run 'groups' in that window. Does it list "scanner"? [18:58] soundray, it only lists one screen, but gives a resolution for a dual monitor setup (and kde4 panel fit itself on the visible side) [18:59] lesshaste, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805570 [18:59] techII: what's the name of the screen in the "connected" line?

[19:00] Bobby, you need to post in the forum I thijnk [19:00] I edited my fstab to automatically mount some sata2 drives at boot time ones ntfs and ones reiserfs for some reason ubuntu doesent mount them by default anymore but my problem is how come they change names in /dev/ all the time now and after every few boots they no longer mount how do i solve this? [19:00] purpleback dont ask to ask, just ask. [19:00] techII: try 'xrandr --output default --auto' [19:00] lesshaste, ok [19:00] ok so um im on the newest version of ubuntu and it keeps telling me "package is on the software channel" what the hell is the software channel and where can i find it? [19:01] soundray: in case it helps: carl@dell29:~$ scanimage --list-devices = No scanners were identified.. sudo scanimage --list-devices = device `snapscan:libusb:004:002' is a Acer FlatbedScanner23 flatbed scanner [19:01] soundray, it has no effect [19:01] lol [19:02] Pici, the laptop harddrive killer bug [19:02] Pici, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805570 [19:03] dear gods that is a lot of people.. [19:03] techII: I think you should look through the xrandr manpage and set explicitly the desktop size that you need [19:03] soundray, thanks [19:03] I'm on command line and know how to read the stuff. What's the command to check the entire computer's structure name, like Gateway or what not? [19:03] I know it was listed as a Gateway E3300 [19:04] CarlFK: please try 'strace scanimage --list-devices'. It will produce loads of output, but towards the end it may identify which file or device it fails to open due to permission problems. [19:04] I'm selling a computer to my father - do I need to run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdaX in order to stop old data popping up? [19:04] CarlFK: failing that, 'strace xsane' may point the way. [19:04] hi im confused at which version i want to use, ihave an imac dual core do i choose: 64bit AMD and Intel computers, or the x86 one [19:05] soudray , can u help me in installing matalb [19:05] matlab [19:05] AbstortedMinds: go with the 32-bit normal one [19:05] I just setup ubuntu on my laptop and it says its getting connected to the network, and it lets me ping the router, but when I type "route" it hangs and I can't actually get anywhere outside my network. Anyone have any ideas what's wrong? [19:05] deepfriedsquirre: no, formatting the partition should suffice, unless your father is an evil spy looking to sue your backside off [19:05] Hello. I recently reinstalled Ubuntu AMD replacing my Ubuntu-server install, and now I have to manually assemble and mount my RAID every reboot. Before it Just Worked, even without an mdadm.conf file. Ideas? [19:05] Bobby: I'm pretty sure that this will sort you out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement FYI, the severity of this bug has been wildly exaggerated. [19:06] how come my harddrives shuffle names within /dev/ from time to time? [19:06] ashpal: arrrgh, I hate matlab [19:06] soundray: Well, I had old data popping up all the time last time I just reformatted partitions [19:06] is there a way to apt-get install the lamp packages? [19:06] octave is all right [19:06] !lamp | Adakos [19:06] soundray, then what do u recommend [19:06] Adakos: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [19:06] soundray: Gnome kept popping up on Xubuntu and all sorts of weird things [19:06] ashpal: sorry, I know that's not helpful. You've paid big money for it, though, so you should ask the vendor to help you install it. [19:06] thanks slart [19:06] how do i get apt-get? [19:07] purpleback: it's installed by default [19:07] purpleback: apt-get is installed by default [19:07] how do i get to it? [19:07] type apt-get [19:07] deepfriedsquirre: then you installed over the existing data without formatting [19:07] where? >.> [19:07] purpleback: open a terminal, type apt-get [19:07] the terminal? [19:07] alrighty. [19:07] purpleback: in your terminal [19:07] !terminal | purpleback [19:07] purpleback: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Is there something I need to further configure? [19:07] on ubunty hardy 8.04 [19:07] im learning :D [19:07] crlcan81: please refrain from swearing in this channel. You've been warned before. [19:07] Brucee: just edit the file with "gksudo gedit /etc/hostname" instead.. much easier [19:07] soundray: No, I was careful not to. I heard that you have to make the partition a slightly different size or write to every sector last time I went here, which leads me to think him having one huge partition might sort it [19:08] hmm, the kde4 panel does not like xrandr, will have to run it before anything starts... [19:08] ok [19:08] Blerg, I might as well do it just in case he is an evil spy. [19:08] Brucee: how are you installing vhcs? [19:08] You can never know with my parents. [19:08] ok.. how is that word a swear? I said gods.. [19:08] crlcan81: invoking deities is potentially offensive and highly unprofessional [19:09] ohhk.. [19:09] soundray: only if you are religious [19:09] who wants free ebook collection ???? (bash coocbook , ubuntu bible, various linux bibles ect) [19:09] what is wrong with this command ssh user@host mv /home/user/test/* /home/user ? I keep getting 'zsh: no matches found: /home/user/*' [19:09] Adakos: such people exist [19:09] theshadow: enclose the command you want executed on the remote side in 'single quotes' [19:09] yet ls /home/user/test works fine [19:10] theshadow: not sure "mv" is an actual program.. afaik it's a bash command.. so run bash with some switch to run the command line [19:10] so much for any real kinda help.. way too many helping and being helped for any simple question to be asked.

[19:58] iki_; np [19:59] rubinboy: I've been thinking that. It's worth trying anyhow. After all, something tracked the fact that you moved the directory.

[20:04] i was messing w/ AWN and now i cant login to gnome [20:04] soundray: Sorry, did a ctr+f in the wrong window [20:05] Mecha25: You'll need to identify the packages that it installed and apt-get remove them [20:05] is there a quicker way than doing it manually like that? [20:05] soundray: so did a find on my home directory (but that also found nothing) [20:05] i need a soft v92 modem drivers for ubuntu :'( [20:05] i just accidently deleted the top ui panel on my desktop [20:05] how do i get it back?

I don't want it to remember the authorization (mainly to prevent accidentally mounting a drive that's being accessed by another tool), so I have to remember to uncheck it each time. Is there a way to make it so this box is not automatically checked? [20:10] purpleback: add the following: Main Menu, Notification Area, Volume Control, Clock, and Quit [20:10] soundray: After logging out and logging back in again it works....

[20:16] ok cool [20:16] So my fiance just purchased asus' 900 eeepc, just curious if anyone else here has it and whether or not they left the Xandros install, or switched to Ubuntu, and if they used Ubuntu did they use the MID edition? Xubuntu/etc? [20:17] dannyboy, the libraries should be called libmotif something. [20:17] !eeepc [20:17] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [20:17] ASULutzy: I've set it up to dual-boot, but I'm only ever using Ubuntu now [20:17] ASULutzy: the fiance a man or woman? [20:17] I'm a dude, she's a girl ;) [20:17] oh ok [20:17] that's cool a woman Linux buyer/user [20:18] hey ho [20:18] need some help wit partitioning hard drive [20:18] with* [20:18] how do i change permissions on a drive [20:18] soundray: And did you just follow the eeepc trigger help that Ubottu just offered?

How do I install a new network card? I plugged it in and ran: "modprobe e1000" but then what? [20:19] !network [20:19] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:19] SebNaitsabes, soundray: She got the 900, her's has 1 GB ram, 20 GB SSD hard drive [20:19] dev/sdb [20:19] SebNaitsabes: It's not about wlan.. [20:19] ASULutzy: at the time, that wasn't there, so I just found out things the hard way. [20:19] I figure that ought to be enough to handle a regular install and not have to use Xubuntu, but I'm open for advice [20:19] soundray: Ah, well did you go with Ubuntu/Kubuntu or Xubuntu? [20:19] SebNaitsabes: 1GB default, but I upped it to two. [20:19] minus198, gksudo network-admin is the easiest way [20:19] * SebNaitsabes wants to buy a small lap top that is good to take on holiday and around the house and stuff. was thinking Mac maybe, but so expensive and propritary. an EEPC on the other hand well Linux :) [20:19] ASULutzy: plain Ubuntu [20:20] Jowi: I'm not running a GUI, so non graphical stuff is the only thing I can run.. [20:20] soundray: And the performance is decent for simple tasks like using open office, firefox, etc? [20:20] SebNaitsabes: I'm thinking that I should have waited for one with an Atom CPU [20:20] soundray: good sounds like I could keep Xandros as the host if I want. and run other OS's in VM [20:21] soundray: and did you bother with setting up swap space? [20:21] hello? [20:21] is it possible to run ubuntu in the windows environment? [20:21] yes you can do that [20:21] soundray: Yea, she was thinking about waiting for the 901, but it's considerably more expensive than the 900, and for single threaded tasks, the celeron should perform as well as the atom [20:21] how do i do it seb? [20:21] good day, folks.. i just wanted to get my tv-card working. and i did.. but now ive a problem with xawtv -> its giving me a blackscreen and i cant do anything about it (expt ctrl +alt +F1).. can anyone help me? [20:21] however why do you want to run it in Windows? [20:22] ASULutzy: no, really, it's not snappy as my dual-core workstation at work or my quad Mac Pro, but similar to my wife's Turion laptop. No swap space -- to be avoided with flash drives [20:22] cuz i dont want to wipe my hd and livedisk is too slow [20:22] wbreslin951: What exactly are you asking? You could setup an Ubuntu virtual machine inside of Windows, or you could install it inside of a file in Windows using Wubi, though lots of people here wouldn't recommend that [20:22] wbreslin951: You don't have to wipe your hard drive, you can just have gparted resize/create new partitions [20:22] asu whats the best way [20:22] asu i have a 60GB, not enough room for ubuntu and windows [20:22] minus198, conf file is /etc/network/interfaces - man interfaces for description [20:22] especially with all my media files [20:22] wbreslin951, When I need to boot into windows, I like to use VMWare to run ubuntu [20:22] soundray: Yea, makes sense on the swappiness, I was thinking the same [20:23] wbreslin951: you can run it inside WIndows in a virtualmachine yes, but having WIndows as the host OS is usauly yuck. it should be the other weay round :) Ubuntu as the host Windows as the guest, unless you have a real good reason to have Windows as the hsot [20:23] wbreslin951: Well then how do you expect using Wubi or a VM to work any better for you? [20:23] SebNaitsabes: the celeron CPU has no provision for virtualization, so it won't be particularly fast [20:23] my steam client cant connect to internet it seems, but nothing on the forums... is it just me? should i blame the linux envoirment? does anyone in here use steam that can tell me if their client can connect? [20:23] is there a program that tells you what codecs a video is using? I know there is one for windows, but I've got about 7 videos that refuse to play in linux [20:23] soundray: I don't really know anything about the EEPC. and what you mean provision? [20:23] wait. what? lol [20:23] im lost [20:23] SebNaitsabes: if you want VMs, it would really make sense to wait for the dual-core Atom [20:24] when will that be? [20:24] wbreslin951: If you are concerned about not having enough space, how do you expect installing Ubuntu inside of Windows to help? It's still going to take up space [20:24] wbreslin951: If you want to use Wubi you still need some space available for the install. [20:24] wbreslin951: don't use Wubi [20:24] SebNaitsabes: the CPU is a couple of months away I think. Not sure when they will appear in Eee PCs [20:24] asu i was thinking along the lines of booting like a livedisk but from the harddrive [20:24] cuz live disk is really slow [20:25] and if i boot from the hd it'll be alot faster [20:25] install gyache in ubuntu [20:25] SebNaitsabes: recent CPUs have special features that help virtualization. Wikipedia has more info [20:25] and the biggest reason i don't want to get rid of windows is cuz i have a bcm card [20:25] wbreslin951: yes you can run Linux Live CD's in virtual machine software [20:25] and that's my only way to get to internet [20:25] seb will it be faster than just booting from the disk? [20:25] wbreslin951: you can run an ISO instead of using a CD [20:26] how would i do that? [20:26] wbreslin951: you understand that a Live CD is an ISO yes? [20:26] yea [20:26] SebNaitsabes: so how would i run the iso through windows? [20:26] wbreslin951: you can also do a small install of Ubuntu in virtual machine software that will expand [20:26] wbreslin951: I don't understand why you don't just setup dualboot, setting up wireless on a broadcom card isn't all that hard. [20:26] wbreslin951: Some broadcom models are supported in Ubuntu [20:27] hi, a question about sending email: i want to e able to send mail from my yahoo email account, using a mutt + some simple MTA such as nbsmtp, but it does not work, any idea? [20:27] After logging into Pidgin and entering a short IM to someone, Pidgin closes. When starting pidgin from terminal no messages are shown that would indicate a problem. Any ideas how to fix this? (vs8.04) [20:27] ASULutzy: i know, im running live cd right now, but i don't wanna risk losing the wireless for whatever reason, its happened to me before [20:27] My broadcom works flawlessly in ubuntu, after ndiswrapper [20:27] wbreslin951: why do you want to use Ubuntu inside Windows? [20:27] Pici: my specific card is such a b**** to get working in ubuntu sometimes [20:27] wbreslin951: What card is it? [20:27] [Q] My backspace key isnt working in ubuntu. It is in windows.

On 2 different machines with ubuntu installed, I have problem playing media within compiz, i.e. sometimes (but not always) it wouldn't play audio and when I try to play a movie, it would play only with the -nosound option [20:31] Gena, but it does not seem to work [20:31] !ask [20:31] Now here's a question: Cedega or Wine? [20:31] 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. :-) [20:32] third3ye: depends on what program you want to run which is? [20:32] Mostly multimedia programs and music production suites [20:32] can kopete handle a/v chat with yahoo messenger? [20:32] Like FLStudio and Propellerhead Reason [20:32] I have an Acer Aspire 7720Z here with a fresh Ubuntu(latest) install. The only nic that works is cabled network. "Hardware Drivers" Proprietary drivers are loaded. One for "Atheros Hardware Layer(HAL)" and one for "Support for Atheros 802,11 wireless LAN cards". But still i cant list my wireless nic. ifconfig -a lists only my cabled (ETH0) an lo (Loopback)... What could be wrong? [20:32] third3ye: well Cedega is a propritary software based on Wine for running games [20:33] third3ye: your question should have probably been, Codeweavers Crossover Linux or Wine? [20:33] heh [20:33] third3ye- stay with win/osx for audio production. [20:33] Isn't Crossover office based? [20:33] evilbug: I wish I could :) [20:33] wat option do i sue with "rpm" so dat it will install all dependencies? [20:33] How do I change what a fixed drive gets mounted as when I select it in Nautilus? It likes to name things like "drive1", which is entirely unintuitive... can I change the default somewhere? [20:33] third3ye: Codeweavers is a propritary software based on Wine, but it's offical [20:33] third3ye- linux is not that great for it. [20:33] unlike Cedega [20:34] evilbug: I'm fully aware of that, thanks [20:34] third3ye- i do audio production also. [20:34] <{alejandro}> Okay can someone hold my hand through troubleshooting my wireless? The ubuntu docs aren't helpful [20:34] third3ye: Codeweavers costs a lot of money, and is rather user friendly [20:34] My initial problem is this computer I'm on. It's the most powerfull computer but Windows XP install doesn't work on it because of certain S-ATA drivers are lacking === gaintsura_ is now known as gaintsura [20:34] third3ye: for some things Codeweavers is better than Wine itself, but for most people WIne will be fine [20:34] Hi all, does anybody have a workaround for installing gnome-desktop-environment? I get the following error when I try to install it: "gnome-keyring-manager (>=2.20.0) but it is not installable"... any help please? It would be greatly appreciated! [20:34] Not only that but I can't seem to find a single friggin driver for it, even from the official site [20:34] third3ye- and stuff like wine/crossover won't work that well with the software either. [20:35] third3ye: and for the programs your wanting to run, well you may need a virtual machine of Windows inside LInux [20:35] <{alejandro}> I am using a dell inspiron and the wireless worked out of the box and suddenly stopped working [20:35] SebNaitsabes: I was afraid of that [20:35] (appologies for the repeat, was disconnected) could anyone suggest a REALLY good backup system for linux/windows? preferably one that doesn't require a client/server setup or require the use of tapedrives [20:35] But I still wanna try [20:35] I just setup ubuntu on my laptop and it says its getting connected to the network, and it lets me ping the router, but when I type "route" it hangs and I can't actually get anywhere outside my network. Anyone have any ideas what's wrong? [20:36] third3ye: there are ways to get a lot of stuff working, but for a lot of it, well it invovles messing around [20:36] Because getting those drivers to insert into textmode XP install is friggin impossible [20:36] I've googled the hell out of it [20:36] Look, I'll even give you a chance to find the .inf [20:36] third3eye: multimedia software you said, uhmmmmmmmm I think I can get hold of this link that will maybe be useful for you [20:36] Hi everybody: I'm having a "little" problem with my gnome desktop! does anybody have a workaround for installing gnome-desktop-environment? I get the following error when I try to install it: "gnome-keyring-manager (>=2.20.0) but it is not installable"... any help please? It would be greatly appreciated! [20:36] third3eye: yep native Linux multimedia programs link [20:37] SebNaitsabes: It's nice ^^ But more unstable than Reason and Wine [20:37] sup guys, i got sound all over but not in firefox / flash movies [20:37] third3eye: ah ha about your XP that's a psyical though [20:38] third3eye: virtual machines have the advantage of well you can pretty much choose what hardware they should emulate [20:38] any suggestions [20:38] Anyone know what I need to do to fix this: gnome-keyring-daemon is giving me the following error: Failed to unlock login on startup [20:38] KaiForce: You change your login password, gnome? [20:38] third3eye: also it can use the host OS for stuff [20:38] KaiForce: /etc/group maybe? [20:38] third3eye: so Ubuntu in this case [20:38] drubin: I think i used passwd to do that.... [20:39] SebNaitsabes: That kinda defeats the purpose of those computer :P [20:39] hi guys. does anyone here use Wine? [20:39] You see, I got this computer after it had been in use at a friend of mine for well over a year [20:39] will that knock me out of sync with the keyring manager? [20:39] I needed a faster computer to produce music with [20:39] Problem is that if I emulate to much the whole advantage is removed [20:39] third3ye: well you can give most RAM to the VM and hardly any to Ubuntu and there you go :d [20:39] And thus I am at square one [20:39] Hi all, does anybody have a workaround for installing gnome-desktop-environment? I get the following error when I try to install it: "gnome-keyring-manager (>=2.20.0) but it is not installable"... any help please? It would be greatly appreciated! Anybody? PLEASE? [20:39] hmm [20:40] KaiForce: I had the same issue [20:40] Which is more updated Ubuntu or Fedora? [20:40] KaiForce: ** continue** but it only happened after i changed my login details, but my one just asks for the password to unlock the keyring [20:40] NodeRazor, arch is more updated than any of them hehe [20:41] SebNaitsabes: You make a persuasive argument [20:41] NodeRazor: I prefer Ubuntu, and yes they have the same release cycles now [20:41] i remember my old password, I'm going to try to reset the keyring password [20:41] SebNaitsabes: But are there any alternatives, or a alternative to VMWare? [20:41] Fedora has fucked up server infrastructure right now... [20:41] vdsy: the whole arch/ubuntu thing he he he next it is going to be Gnome vs KDE shh i didn't [20:41] yeah, I'v noticed that too. [20:41] Virtual box @ third3ye #vbox [20:41] third3ye: oh yes VMware pft. Virtualbox on the other hand big :) [20:42] third3ye: It is great, i just set it up last night [20:42] Arch Linux updated very often ;-) [20:42] drubin: im not for or against any of them...he asked a question of which is more updated, i mentioned arch because i do love arch [20:42] and that lasts for over a week i guess, they should fix it immediately [20:42] But its source based right? [20:42] drubin: they're all linux after all right [20:42] vdsy: Is arch based on Ubuntu?? [20:42] drubin: no [20:42] hahaha [20:43] is this ubuntu help? or lets all talk about arch? [20:43] arch linux? i tried to install it last week, but i just couldn't connect to any server during process... [20:43] yeah, fuck that [20:43] vdsy: Yes i would MUCh rather liunux vs the other [20:43] third3ye: I guess you will want USB support though. so the Open Source Version that you can get from the repo is no good. meaning you would need to get the PUEL cloused source version http://www.virtualbox.org [20:43] NodeRazor: nope, not source-based..check it out http://archlinux.org/ [20:43] vdsy, I know. [20:43] vdsy, the site, I mean. [20:43] !language | hotspotCZ [20:43] hotspotCZ: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:44] no sh [20:44] SebNaitsabes: Need all the trimmings then, ey? Compiler, libraries, etc? [20:44] drubin, absolutely, i just dont understand the distor wars thing, they're all good for certain purposes [20:44] third3ye: I guess I meant this link http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20080622143124178/Audio.html that's for audio software [20:44] hello, does anyone know what rF means in dpkg -l ? [20:44] third3ye: what do you mean? [20:44] http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20080622143124178/Audio.html [20:44] hey, what's the name of the software that allows me to run ubuntu w/in windows? [20:44] how can i make an ubuntu vm in windows? [20:44] vdsy: I think ubuntu is not a great production server, but love it for a desktop [20:44] SebNaitsabes: This is a vanilla ubuntu ^^;; So to compile you need compilers, ey? [20:44] Siilence, VirtualBox [20:44] I'm green, btw [20:44] hi [20:44] I'm an oldschool nixer [20:44] i personally prefer a linux distrubution that doesnt look like fookin windows. All you gui lovers..:) [20:44] SilverFox_, VirtualBox [20:44] But I've skipped a couple of generations [20:45] vdsy: I have only tried Feroda and Ubuntu desktops before [20:45] third3ye: you got all the stuff you need already for Virtualbox [20:45] if using x32 os [20:45] if x64 then vmware [20:45] node357: is that the installer that comes w/UbunTU? [20:45] third3ye: well except for the PUEL virtualbox itself [20:45] Hi all !! Is there a distro that can back up partitiones (in live mode)? [20:45] drubin: ive ran a slackware desktop, freebsd, ubuntu, and now arch.... === LimCore_ is now known as LimCore [20:45] third3ye: I mean you do want USB support? [20:45] drubin: all good [20:45] aha! [20:45] SebNaitsabes: Everything thats possible I want [20:45] can i run a 64bit ubuntu vm distro in a 32bit windows environment? [20:45] Wubi [20:45] SebNaitsabes: Gimme cutting edge [20:45] vdsy: Did not like fedroa, hey, I like centOS for our servers though [20:46] Had Debian people yelling at me for using unstable Debian then asking for support :D [20:46] * Mecha25 curses Wubi for being so deceptively simple [20:46] third3ye: yep then you need the PUEL not the OSE from http://www.virtualbox.org yep PUEL [20:46] third3ye: That is not nice, [20:46] how do i run an ubuntu vm? [20:46] third3ye: That is why i like Ubuntu so much, the comunity is nicer. [20:46] Will Wubi allow me to have direct access to the hardwaRE? ie, can I run wireshark and dsniff from w/in it? [20:46] does anyone know how to mount an ftp dir in fstab? [20:46] SebNaitsabes: Puel? Is it source code or binary? [20:46] drubin: Indeed [20:46] Is there a distro that can back up NTFS partitiones (in live mode)? [20:47] drubinl, yeah a friend told me about it, apparently his companny runs it...a minor complaint, i really cant stand how slow RPM is, ive ran opensuse before too see how it works, it's slow [20:47] third3ye: can't rmeember, but it's easy enough to install when you follow the site [20:47] whats the shortcut to switch between workspaces [20:47] Hi, I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed here, but wanted to get KDE4.1 on it, and be able to see it as an option when I login. Can someone help me with that? [20:47] control-alt left/right [20:47] third3ye: saying that I have a link for installing that I think as well [20:47] If I was to connect another internal harddrive, would ubuntu automatically pick it up? (assuming it's not broken, which is what I want to figure out) [20:47] or control-alt-number of workspace [20:47] ty [20:47] according to winehq.com, 1.0 is the latest stable release, but is there a way to get the development version through apt-get? [20:47] you would have to mount it phase [20:47] third3ye: ,but you can just go to #vbox anyway and they can help with installing if you get a problem [20:47] but it should appear [20:47] SebNaitsabes: I can find an OSE edition [20:47] no ideas on wubi? [20:48] third3ye: you don't want the OSE [20:48] Sk8rdude, I figured, but I'm not sure how I would figure out what sda it is :P [20:48] third3ye: you want PUEL [20:48] Hello room [20:48] system --> admin --> system monitor [20:48] drubin: funny u say about the commnity being nicer, i was running slakcware for a while, and the community has this elititst thing going, pretty much the main reason i switched to arch [20:48] third3ye: well the site tells you the difference between the two versions one of which is how OSE does not do USB [20:49] Sk8rdude, Thanks. [20:49] np [20:49] is there anyway to boot the linux iso for livedisk from an sd card? [20:49] drubin: and yeah, arch community is about as nice as ubuntu i find anyway [20:49] so I'm doing a netinstall from a usb stick with unetbootin. Partitioning OK (20Gb xfs /). The installing base system failed (twice) with "initscripts: depends lsb-base >=3.2.14 but 3.2-14ubuntu1 is to be installed..... [20:49] third3ye: also you could dual boot Linux and Windows [20:49] billy: if your pc can boot from it yes... is the sd card reader connected to a usb controller? [20:49] vdsy: Going to make dinner, will be back soon we can finish this discussion [20:49] Check out my GDM theme and tell me what you think: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=87516 [20:50] sorry to crosspost, but is there any hardy installer available with a 2.6.26 kernel? I'm currently trying to 'slipstream' in my own newly build kernel, but this turned out to be more tricky than i thought [20:50] Sk8rdude: not sure.. i have a dell 1501 with a built in sdcard reader [20:50] I'm in text mode - any suggestions? It suggests apt-get -f install... [20:50] i also tried to convince the intrepid alpha4 installer to use hardy packages, but that ran into a few other problems [20:50] do I have to chroot /target or something? [20:50] Sk8rdude? [20:50] SebNaitsabes: But I can't install Windows ^^;; [20:50] :) [20:50] If anyone wants to 'try' Ubuntu try http://wubi-installer.org [20:50] :) [20:50] :) [20:50] :) [20:50] :) [20:50] :) [20:50] sexy_man_XD: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:50] (asking b4 fiddling too much) [20:51] :) [20:51] billy: chances are it's on a usb controller in which case it should appear when you bring up the boot list [20:51] SebNaitsabes: It requires some obscure S-ATA drivers to be installed into Textmode [20:51] Arch Linux, "We try to stay fairly bleeding edge, and typically have the latest stable versions of software. " [20:51] very nice [20:51] Which are impossible to find, even on the vendors web-site [20:51] Sk8rdude what would it say? [20:51] Sk8rdude is there anyway i can get the bootlist without going into setup? [20:51] If anyone wants to 'try' Ubuntu try http://wubi-installer.org [20:51] dont wanna turn off comp lol [20:51] when you turn on the computer it should have a list [20:51] err [20:51] third3ye: oh right yeah. so VM to get round that [20:51] Does any one here use Arch? [20:51] you need to restart the pc to boot from the sd card anyway [20:51] or is this not the place for install help? [20:52] sk8r [20:52] i know that [20:52] if you want to install linux from windows use wubi? [20:52] cha1: looks very nice, altough welcome home seems noob to me [20:52] How hard is to build packages with pacman compare to deb's ? [20:52] but i don't wanna turn it off unless i know i can boot from the usb [20:52] oh [20:52] well you can't know [20:52] may any1 knows how to delete/move a SPSS Installation Folder I put on my desktop while installing SPSS Program on my Ubuntu 8.04LTS??? [20:52] SebNaitsabes: Please link me the PUEL download, if you would be so kind ^^;; I can't seem to find that either [20:52] so what do i do just put the iso on my sdcard? [20:52] I have an Acer Aspire 7720Z here with a fresh Ubuntu(latest) install. The only nic that works is cabled network. "Hardware Drivers" Proprietary drivers are loaded. One for "Atheros Hardware Layer(HAL)" and one for "Support for Atheros 802,11 wireless LAN cards". But still i cant list my wireless nic. ifconfig -a lists only my cabled (ETH0) an lo (Loopback)... What could be wrong? [20:52] I must seem hopeless at googling [20:52] NodeRazor: Arch has it's own channel at #archlinux here. As for the OS, it's a great Linux learning experience, but eats up too much time for my liking :) [20:52] no you need to write it using an app like unetbootin [20:52] third3ye: go to #vbox and they will help you with all that I am sure [20:52] thanks [20:53] Sk8rdude: In my own experience, installing Ubuntu 8.04 from Windows does not work very well ... [20:53] kk.. and i can get the iso off of the live disk right? [20:53] GO #fallen [20:53] GO #fallen [20:53] GO #fallen [20:53] RandyboY: dmesg | grep eth , can you see your wifi network card there? [20:53] if you have the live disk burned then you would need to do it a different way [20:53] #fallen [20:53] GO #fallen [20:53] * hateball stabs sexy_man_XD [20:53] an iso is just an image of a disc [20:53] ay any1 knows how to delete/move a SPSS Installation Folder I put on my desktop while installing SPSS Program on my Ubuntu 8.04LTS??? [20:53] Sk8rdude i have the live disk that ubuntu sent me in the mail [20:54] so I'm doing a netinstall of 8.10 from a usb stick with unetbootin. Partitioning OK (20Gb xfs /). The installing base system failed (twice) with "initscripts: depends lsb-base >=3.2.14 but 3.2-14ubuntu1 is to be installed..... [20:54] SebNaitsabes: So far the best reply was " third3ye: www.virtualbox.org" [20:54] so why do you want to install off an sd card? [20:54] May any1 knows how to delete/move a SPSS Installation Folder I put on my desktop while installing SPSS Program on my Ubuntu 8.04LTS??? [20:54] SPSS runs on ubuntu? [20:54] do you seriously think that that is the problem? Sk8rdude [20:54] Run using WINE [20:54] Sk8rdude i don't wan to install off of an sdcard [20:54] oh [20:55] i want to run it from the sdcard and leave windows on the hard drive [20:55] Hey - I have a semi-advanced software-raid question. [20:55] Overand: ... [20:55] cuz sdcard will be faster than running livedisk [20:55] lbt: typing it =] [20:55] err [20:55] ? [20:55] lbt: I have a 'temporary' external USB drive that I rebuilt a degraded RAID 5 array to while I'm waiting for my proper replacement internal driv e [20:55] well the process of putting the cd onto the sd card would take much longer than just installing it off the cd to start with [20:56] just boot from the cd and be done with it [20:56] is there a 'correct' way to replace that with the repalcement drive without having to put the array into a degraded state? [20:56] Overand: yes [20:56] if you can shut down the array [20:57] you can use ddrescue (or dd) to image the usb onto the replacement [20:57] Sk8rdude: ive used ubuntu before, i love it, i just don't want to get rid of windows. i want to be able to use it off the sd card whenever.. its too slow off the live disk tho [20:57] I have an Acer Aspire 7720Z here with a fresh Ubuntu(latest) install. The only nic that works is cabled network. "Hardware Drivers" Proprietary drivers are loaded. One for "Atheros Hardware Layer(HAL)" and one for "Support for Atheros 802,11 wireless LAN cards". But still i cant list my wireless nic. ifconfig -a lists only my cabled (ETH0) an lo (Loopback)... What could be wrong? [20:57] lbt: unfortuantely the system boots from the array, but i can run it off of a live CD [20:57] Well I give this support channel six thumbs up [20:57] that'll do [20:57] my concern isn't about uptime so much as not having the syste,m in a degraded state [20:57] As apposed to #VBox and #Windows :S [20:57] ok well you have 2 options [20:57] oooo... spam >.< I'm not used to ircing ^^;; soz [20:57] you can just make a new partition [20:57] install the new drive, make sure the array is down [20:57] Sk8rdude i would but not enough room lol [20:57] and install it on the hdd [20:58] ddrescue the partition (making sure the size is *exactly* the same) [20:58] lbt: heh - snag there. [20:58] ...? [20:58] lbt: the 'temporary repalcement' drive is larger [20:58] oh, that's fine [20:58] are you using partitions? [20:58] or full disks [20:59] (nb this is why you should use partitions) [20:59] i.e. i'm going from a 750 gig 'raid partition' of a whole disk back down to a 740 gig raid paritition [20:59] that may be a show-stopper [20:59] the word "ah" springs to mind [20:59] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:59] Hi all. Since the change from the bash shell to dash, how do I set it so that when navigating files in the terminal, they're showin in color? I've tried creating a .dashc file and that didn't work. [20:59] follow those billy [20:59] lbt: heh. [20:59] tight thanks [21:00] np [21:00] well, md uses the space incrementally [21:00] lbt: the original system was 4 750 gig drives, with 2 2 gig partitions and one 740ish gig partition === Firebird is now known as Firebird_ === Firebird_ is now known as Firebirdy [21:00] ok - have the other disks got partitions? [21:00] the 'temporary' drive was a megabyte short or so, and fdisk was reporting blocks differently [21:00] epale mamadores [21:00] Which Java is recommended for Ubuntu? Standard Sun Java, IBM, or Blackdown? [21:00] mmm - sounds dodgy [21:00] can somebody please direct me to config files for a webcam (eee pc 900 with eeepc kernel) [21:01] I would run a smartctl -t long [21:01] cuentame [21:01] on the good drives [21:01] la gente del iseit [21:01] then rebuild [21:01] third3ye: I've found the standard Sun to work just fine and lots of apps like openfire utilize it. [21:01] it'll go degraded but you're minimising the window [21:01] you are more likely to screw the entire fs [21:01] by miscopying a few blocks [21:02] and telling the raid that it is good. [21:02] what user is the binary apache2 supposed to run as? [21:02] try http://linux-raid.osdl.org/ for more info [21:02] Hi I have a Wusb v2.8 and I downloaded wifi radar and it can see my network, and it says I'm connected but for some reason I'm not, firefox doesn't work [21:02] hardhatpat: that depends on your security. you can run it as "apache" or "nobody". I would suggest reading up on apache security for that. [21:02] zozobra, thanks [21:02] hardhatpat: www-data [21:03] actually it turns out i had commented out the default lines, and it was www-data [21:03] hardhatpat: www-data is the default ubuntu user [21:03] Linksys Wusb11... It seems to work out of the box [21:03] i feel bad for turning to irc before actually reading my configs :( [21:03] (I can see my network in network manager too, but that won't connect either [21:03] The network has WEP encryption, it is a long hex key [21:03] Hey, I set up my win xp vbox with a sharing folder, and i go to map network drive, and "virtual box shared folders" is in there, but the shared folder i chose isnt under it [21:03] hardhatpat: join a long list of people who have done the same :D [21:04] ok, last attempt for today, is there a straight up tutorial for having all the sound setup with pulse in 5.1! ? [21:04] INSTALL HELP please :) .... so I'm doing a netinstall of 8.10 from a usb stick with unetbootin. Partitioning OK (20Gb xfs /). The installing base system failed (twice) with "initscripts: depends lsb-base >=3.2.14 but 3.2-14ubuntu1 is to be installed..... how do I resolve this? [21:04] and it says I'm connected to the network in Wifi Radar, but I can't access the internet!! [21:04] i cant seem to get stuff straight here at all :( [21:04] i got sound in skype then flashplayer aint got no sound [21:04] i got sound in flash then skype dont have no sound [21:04] i dont get this confusing stuff anymore :( [21:04] I set up my win xp vbox with a sharing folder, and i go to map network drive, and "virtual box shared folders" is in there, but the shared folder i chose isnt under it [21:05] can any1 help [21:05] hi.. how do I change screen resolution in A) login screen, B) fluxbox? [21:05] How do I change the default mount point that the file browser (nautilus) uses when mounting a drive by clicking on it? [21:05] is there a simple proxy tool that runs from the commandline that can start any program using a predefined proxy? [21:06] I have a Linksys Wusb11 v2.8 wireless adapter, it seemed to work out of the box, and Wifi Radar says I'm connected, but I can't connect [21:06] Help: b4 I could go to Network/Windows Server click on it to access. Now the Windows Server is empty, and I have to type the IP address in the GO bar. Any ideas? [21:06] EruditeHermit: simple - no, not that I know off. There are some tools like socat... other tools like tor... they /a bit/ do something related to what you described [21:07] EruditeHermit: also, you could try setting env variable (what was it... HTTP_PROXY=.. ? I think....?) and then tell givne program to use system configuraiton for proxy (i.e. fire fox does it) [21:07] friend: wirless adapter for the computer or a wireless repeater/access ;point? [21:07] EruditeHermit: so like say... export HTTP_PROXY=... ; firefox but read mroe on it and test [21:07] how do I purge an installed program from terminal using apt? [21:07] I have an Acer Aspire 7720Z here with a fresh Ubuntu(latest) install. The only nic that works is cabled network. "Hardware Drivers" Proprietary drivers are loaded. One for "Atheros Hardware Layer(HAL)" and one for "Support for Atheros 802,11 wireless LAN cards". But still i cant list my wireless nic. ifconfig -a lists only my cabled (ETH0) an lo (Loopback)... What could be wrong? [21:07] lbt: ew. that's ugly [21:07] Scorcher: It is a USB wireless adapter called Linksys Wusb11 v2.8 [21:07] lbt: you might want to look in #Ubuntu+1 ? [21:07] LimCore: I tried that, it works but not quite. Some firefox plugins don't honour the proxy [21:08] is there a special channel for sound and ubuntu ? [21:08] Scorcher: It seems to work out of the box(wifi radar and network manager detect my networks) [21:08] Should the Alternate Install work from an USB stick? [21:08] Is there a kill that kills better than "sudo kill -9 PID" when that does not kill? [21:08] friend: i ubuntu detects it, it should also detect the wireless networks in range... what is the problem? [21:08] EruditeHermit: uh... strange.... perhaps it is a bug in them? try reporting to authors and/or firefox dvels [21:08] lbt: re: my array, if i do it offline anyway, if the rebuild goes bad i MIGHT be able to recover [21:08] I set up my win xp vbox with a sharing folder, and i go to map network drive, and "virtual box shared folders" is in there, but the shared folder i chose isnt under it [21:09] <{alejandro}> I am also having a wireless problem - I got a dell inspiron recently that came with ubuntu and the wireless card (Intel ProSet I think) worked fine out of the box but now all of a sudden it won't pick up any networks.

[21:48] Gnea: WOW! that was cooll [21:49] So, i heard vim is the better editor out there, but i don't really know *why* people say that. Could anyone explain? [21:49] teeu334, ok, i guess i'll come back when i have the laptop.. thanks anyway [21:49] squiddy: good notebooks have a hardware switch for that, not needing any software support for it. [21:50] need help getting internet access [21:50] squiddy: in cheap notebooks the rf kill switch just produces a ACPI hotkey event which must be handled by the OS [21:50] Gnea, ok, done [21:50] I'll take that as a no [21:50] :( [21:50] udev is teh suck [21:50] oy guys - hi there - i want to send some files and folders from my computer to another computer in the network - i use kubuntu linux 8.04 and the two other computers use (the first) 7.10 and (the second) 8.04 [21:51] teeu334, i guess so, i'll ask my friend wether his laptop has any switch for that or not,,, i'm not really familiar with toshiba laptops [21:51] all three computers are connected to a router [21:51] squiddy: me neither. i use thinkpads.

[21:53] you can get them to work but the old system was better on boards that didn't follow stanrds. now the bios grub and the kernel all fight over who should be /sda.

[21:54] it's gotta be the same to connect [21:54] lol, siloko [21:55] Gnea: that's only true when grub and the bios agree what hd(0,0) [21:55] i'll think of something [21:55] frostbyt3: you can try iwconfig in a terminal to see if the card is recognized at all. should appear as wlan0 if you have ubuntu 8.04 [21:55] can anyone help me?

[21:56] Syngin: but it must have been a front to some file somewhere - just don't know what it is :( [21:56] s3a: I don't think you can [21:56] s3a: sadly, that's not possible [21:56] s3a: not without wiping the partition [21:56] teeu334: it is recognized [21:56] master, 3d control switch, PCM, PCM capture, Entrance, Entrance Capture, CD, Microphone, MIcrophone Capture, Mic-boost, mic-boost capture, mic-in mode, pc speakers [21:56] How can I create a exim mininal user (user only for mailbox)? are there some tools arround cmdline.

[21:59] WEP 64 sorry [21:59] s3a: I would say it's impossible.. it might be doable but it isn't worth the time and effort [21:59] sudo aptitude install gparted [21:59] can't i just use what i got for now instead of changing all my machines [21:59] hb: not that I know of.. they are both file systems [22:00] Slart: well if u ask me, its worth it cuz such a feature is good to convert windows users ;) but thats not my situation [22:00] Hey I am getting "Compression Error 99" when trying to extract a .zip. How can I get a .zip? [22:00] hb: linux can read and write both ntfs and ext3 if that's what you mean [22:01] frostbyt3: sure you can. [22:01] WDC what program are you using to extract? [22:01] all i need to do is connect, but cant [22:01] frostbyt3: it seems WEP is not very well supported by newer drivers, or network manager has a bug when configuring it [22:01] Slart, negative. I'm trying to think back to an article I read awhile ago. but I'm thinking of something else [22:01] qr_: Archive manager [22:02] but I think* I'm thinking of something else [22:02] s3a: well.. let's say this will take 400 man years... that time would be better spent on other things.. making directx games run natively in ubuntu, drivers for all graphics cards, booting in <10 secs.. all that.. or convert ntfs to ext3 in place.. [22:02] frostbyt3: but you should *really* switch from WEP to WPA, especially if you have only 64 bit WEP [22:02] Are wildcards allowed in fstab (e.g /dev/sdb*) ? [22:02] WDC: try installing unzip and then do 'unzip yourfile.zip' in the terminal. [22:02] im' having a hellva time trying to get my dell d620 laptop's soundcard working; i'm thinking a permissions problem, can some one be my sounding board? [22:02] frostbyt3: 64 bit WEP can be cracked in a few minutes [22:02] qr_: Will try, is that in Symantic? [22:02] siloko: I don't think so [22:02] WDC: yes [22:03] qr_: Synaptic, sorry. Cool thanks [22:03] Syngin: you were right - I have to add entries to potential device names and stop thembeing mounted with the 'noauto' flag . . . [22:03] Ok, I am back. When I want to uninstall gnome-keyring, synaptic wants to deinstall many other programs such as gksu. The packet in question is gnome-keyring-manager (N.b. the manager extension) [22:03] siloko: I doubt it. that would lead to more than 1 partition to a single mount path [22:03] siloko: how would that work anyway.. mount a partition on sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4 .... , sda997315 [22:03] how can I switch it [22:03] hello I have a Linksys WUSB11 v2.8 wireless adapter it can detect networks out of the box but I don't think I can connect can someone hlep?? [22:03] believe me no one is cracking my connection im in the middle of no where [22:03] frostbyt3: you must configure your wireless AP to do WPA. [22:03] Syngin: I wnated to do /dev/sdb* mountpoint NONE with nosuto option [22:04] *noauto* [22:04] Gnea: so... anything???? [22:04] frostbyt3: and of course change the wireless setup of your client machines to WPA too [22:04] but I suppose I have to enter them one by one :) [22:04] siloko: eh.. if you don't want to mount it.. why include it in the fstab? [22:04] siloko: try /dev/sdb[x,y] noauto [22:04] Slart: to stop it being automounted when i plug it in [22:04] can any1 help? [22:04] qr_: I get this: skipping: unsupported compression method 99 [22:04] siloko: doubt it will work but [22:04] siloko: aahhh.. I get it.. [22:05] hb: thanks [22:05] frostbyt3: but if you insist in doing very weak wireless encryption, try configuring the card with iwconfig, not with network manager [22:05] The problem I am stuck with gnome-desktop wants to have gnome-keyring-manager, but Synaptics reports the keyring-manager being unistallable. [22:05] WDC: interesting... try doing 'file yourfile.zip', that should tell you what type of data is actually in the file. [22:06] okay [22:06] teeu334, wep isn't weak. it would take a 486 at least a year to determine the key [22:06] hallo? [22:06] qr_: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract [22:06] no way airsnort can crack that [22:07] I can see networks but I can't connect, does anyone know what the problem is [22:07] how can i configure the card w/ iwconfig [22:07] this is frustrating [22:07] i need some alternate installation media for a plain cli install other than a cd. a netboot floppy would be fine. Does anybody maintain a netboot floppy for ubuntu>? [22:07] does anyone know how to wget all files in a particular directory on the web? [22:07] hello! I have no sound! probably the sound device is misused by something. What should I do? [22:07] if I setup fstab to "auto" mount a drive, does that mean it gets automatically mounted at boot, or is it more similar to allowing nautilus to automatically mount when I click on a drive? [22:07] WDC: oh my. Well I'm out of ideas. I thought it might have just been a misnamed extension, but now I don't know what to tell you. [22:07] mdke: HTTP has no such thing as directories. [22:07] Well in case anyone is interested - it worked!! [22:07] hb: I think wep is more broken than that.. I've heard figures around 10 minutes or so [22:07] :) [22:08] wasabi: so, it can't be done? they are all in a directory on the server [22:08] frostbyt3: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "your_essid" key s:your_key_as_ascii [22:08] mdke: HTTP has no conception of a directory. There is no way to 'list' one. [22:08] frostbyt3: the arch wiki has a great entry on wireless networking http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless [22:08] mdke: The best it can do is pull down a 'page' and scan the links in the page. [22:08] frostbyt3: or the key in hex without the s: prefix [22:08] which wget can do [22:08] by using -R [22:08] qr_: Okay, thanks anyway. The v2 helps with Googleing [22:08] wasabi: thanks [22:08] hb: have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy [22:09] hb: wep is not secure at all to a person who knows what he or she is doing [22:09] The problem I am stuck with is gnome-desktop-enviroment wants to have gnome-keyring-manager, but Synaptics reports the keyring-manager being unistallable.

[22:31] WDC i figured you got other stuff being downloaded [22:31] question-does notepad++ have any plugins to connect to openssh sftp?

[22:33] Osse: I think the system is using Pulse Audio though [22:33] turning off compiz makes the applications work as they should [22:33] upd: yes I think tehre is an an issue with Firefox freezing when it does Flash [22:33] upd: for some people [22:34] rkvirani - It does, but ALSA helped me abit.

[22:52] KleinerHai: what processor do you have and what speed? you can decrease the amount of resources it uses by decreasing its update speed. [22:53] sarthor; where are you trying to ssh to from the ubuntu computer? [22:53] Slart: First I was astonished about the function in the panel to show the system monitor. But now I know why I should leave this un-runned :) [22:53] KleinerHai: hehe... there are other apps that show you processor usage and such..conky for example [22:53] how do i disable the timeout in grub's menu.lst? Do I comment out the line, set timeout = 0, or what?

[22:54] is it possible to force the removal and upgrade of these packages, or possibly automatically fix any broken deps [22:54] KleinerHai: yeah, it'll work less that way. it's in preferences, there's one setting for the processes page, and one for the graphs. yes, that one. [22:54] sarthor; what error does it give? [22:54] Can I suggest a note after installing flash plugin, like "To make this work, close and restrat Firefox".

So there's no way to run it without a terminal? (it's an alias that starts a program with Wine) [23:45] I see [23:45] pls help me with w3m [23:45] !gtk [23:45] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [23:45] masum: this is the last time I'll ask: what is wrong with w3m?

[23:46] anyone know how to get the run dialog(alt+F2) to recognize ~/ [23:46] Slart, any ideas? from that error? :\ [23:46] Gnea: pls help me [23:46] gnome by the way [23:46] Slart: Because for some reason, this program requires me to cd into the directory and launch it from there... so I have an alias with cd [directory] && wine [executable] [23:46] j800r: well.. it complains about not finding an image.. but I have no idea why that image isn't installed.. how did you install it? [23:46] sharperguy, it happens if you press ctrl+alt+backspace all at once .. that's the combo to quit your X session. [23:46] via apt-get [23:46] masum: i have no idea, and i've told you more than once that begging for help isn't going to work, so please, point w3m at www.google.com, and search for a w3m forum. [23:46] anybody happen 2 know how 2 rename drives n linux?? [23:47] but i previously tried installing a terminal version via python script [23:47] unop, I know, but I quite often manage to hit it when I'm trying to do something [23:47] i couldn't get the hang of it though [23:47] ok, so IRC is not real helpful ....hmmmm [23:47] Reformer81, you can create a wrapper script that does these command .. and your launcher can call this script.

I'll tell you if you stop using 2 instead of to.. really.. you save one letter.. [23:48] unop, It's usually when typing different things on different desktops, because i use ctrl+alt to switch between them, and i make lots of mistakes so backspace comes into it a lot too [23:48] heh ok [23:48] !patience [23:48] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.
