[00:00] Pici, but can't put jre pluging working in a 64 bits machine only in 32 bits [00:00] Osse: another is KompoZer (formerly NVU) [00:00] mcphail - I've heard good things about vim, what's so special about it? [00:00] Osse: if you want to avoid vim, eclipse (the pdt package) is _great_ [00:00] ubottu wat am i suposse to do on that website [00:00] Wow. I'm in IRC via a Nokia N95. [00:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:00] no piracy [00:00] Osse: or gedit is just fine with the right plugins [00:00] i testing my line [00:00] I've got a D-link Rangebooster N650 wireless PCI card in my desktop machine. Where can I find an Ubuntu driver for it? D-link won't admit to have made the card any longer... [00:00] thnx Shdw [00:00] Okay, eclipse, screem, KompoZer, kdevelop, why/why not? xD [00:00] Osse: very powerful and configurable, but takes some time to learn [00:00] Can someone let me know when the Ubuntu repositories will have Pidgin 2.5? [00:00] gubb, good to hear :) [00:01] niziol, sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade << and secure yourself [00:01] Osse: but when you learn it, it is useful for editing just about anything [00:01] can someon ehelp me with wireless [00:01] Osse: personal preference all are great, in their own right. [00:01] mcphail - Well, I've done alot of coding, but it was some time now, but I want something to get me running again. [00:01] how do i enable wireless [00:01] Kefga_X, read this http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [00:01] remoteCTRL: nope ibm desktop "dont even know the frigging mob name" it boots into windows fine which i cant access but wont boot the cd or anything else, bios doesnt let me change options their isnt a menu for it :/ [00:01] ok thx ompaul [00:01] ompaul: thanks! [00:01] Expl0ited - I think Screem is alot like dreamweaver? [00:01] yes [00:02] Okay, so it's a DWA-547 and they do have Windows drivers. How can I get the card to work in Ubuntu? [00:02] so is kompoZer [00:02] remoteCTRL, can i found it via apt-get? [00:02] Pirate_Hunter: nevertheless try pressing F8 on bios screen [00:02] Expl0ited - Read through the features of screem, looks promising. But you'd recommend kompoZer? [00:02] anybody familiar with hal + permissions. audio cd gets weird permissions and i can't listen them without sudo rhythmbox / vlc / mplayer / whatever. [00:02] markelhas: Are you trying to connect to or install this tool? [00:02] r4b: the meter thing is the level of brightness/contrast, and if it dosen't move, have you checked out /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf [00:02] Does anyone know how to manually set metamodes for nvidia cards? [00:02] markelhas: i dont think so but there are ubuntu packages there as far as i recall, just download and doubleclick... [00:02] you said php, screem mainly does HTML/XHTML and css [00:03] Someone please help me and nickster500....? [00:03] kompoZer is a little more rounded. [00:03] Pici, the tool is installed, and workin, however it need jre working [00:03] remoteCTRL, ok [00:03] Expl0ited - What do you mean by that? [00:03] yea please [00:03] markelhas: Have you gone through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava ? [00:03] hi KOJV [00:03] :P [00:03] I have ubunutu installed on my HDD. Still it will not boot. If I use install CD I get the boot-menu, then I choose boot from first hard disk - this works! [00:03] p041nx: what am i looking for? [00:03] can someone help me and KOJV [00:03] nickster500: KOJV then PING-flooder? [00:03] *the [00:04] Pici, yap :( [00:04] Osse, more in-depth help would be great. I've set up my shares, using my old smb.conf which worked with WinXP, and made sure the options you listed were present. But the other Ubuntu machine can't even see my machine listed, not even the workgroup. And smb://my-lan-ip gives nothing. [00:04] markelhas: With what results? [00:04] remoteCTRL: i have even f12 is not working and according to bios thats to change boot order :/ [00:04] can someone help me fix this and get booting from hard drive w/o CD ? [00:04] Pici, firefox says that can find the jre plugin [00:04] markelhas: http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1 [00:04] koushik, do you have more than one harddrives in your computer? [00:04] Osse these are GUI clients... each has their own list of good stuff, but you mentioned php, [00:05] TwoD - LanIP gives nothing? Hmm.. PM your path configuration to me. [00:05] i was sent to a web site but i don't know what do on it [00:05] p041nx: it says default video driver is xv btw if thats any use [00:05] no, I have only one. I have also checked BIOS boot order [00:05] Expl0ited - Yeah, PHP/CSS editing, maybe abit of Java also. [00:05] kompoZer I believe is the one of the two that is capable of that. [00:05] Pirate_Hunter: i see... why exactly dont you get to see a boot order in bios? is it locked or what is actually the problem? [00:05] ShdwShinobi, I've edited them manually sometimes, I could paste my xorg.conf if you wish. [00:05] I say check both out. [00:05] there hd is detected and it is the prefered device... [00:05] markelhas: Within the 32bit install? fyi, you may need to close any other instances of firefox to launch the 32bit one properly. [00:05] TwoD, if you could, I would appreciate that :) [00:05] wait a min! I have 2 partitions [00:05] my wireless is a windows driver [00:05] how do i enable that [00:06] r4b: the config file overwrites stuff, so i am guessing something's got overwritten there. Normaly you don't need to configure anything, so almost everything is commented out, but if not, i was suspecting that it was the problem. [00:06] nickster500 - Use Linux drivers for your wireless. [00:06] how [00:06] ubuntu is installed on the 3rd. 1st is data. and 2nd is swap [00:06] how do i use linux drivers [00:06] ShdwShinobi, ok, hang on. [00:06] nickster500: What type of network card do you have? [00:06] i don't know [00:07] koushik, you'll want to make sure grub is installed right... give me one second [00:07] Osse: both are WYSIWYG editors perhaps neither are what your looking for. [00:07] , Ok sure. I will hang on [00:07] how do i know what type of network card i have [00:07] p041nx: if i uninstall then reinstall the players, will it help? [00:07] nickster500: Well, you said you have the windows drivers, do those tell you? [00:07] ? [00:07] Expl0ited - No, kompozer looks abit naddy, abit to WYSIWYG-editorish. [00:07] remoteCTRL: i think i found it, the option was discreet it seemed more like a header than an option until i clicked on it, give me a sec to see if this works [00:07] when i try running a perl scripti get 403 forbidden.....how to fix this ? [00:07] how do i check [00:07] r4b:Is there any important setting that you would like to keep for mplayer/vlc? [00:08] Pirate_Hunter: go for it! [00:08] ? [00:08] koushik, I would say try this if it isn't getting to grub. It should make sure that grub is the bootloader. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [00:08] nickster500: type lspci into a console [00:08] nickster500: Do you know how to get to a terminal/console in Ubuntu? [00:08] Osse: hence what I mean. screem is a little more "dirty work". [00:08] nickster500: and look out for anything with wireless in its name [00:08] yes [00:08] Pici: sorry there.. [00:09] Expl0ited - Yeah.. =) [00:09] but i am on windows right know [00:09] now [00:09] Expl0ited: well the gnomes default texteditor gedit handles php and html hilighting and many other languages, but has no aids to code. [00:09] nickster500: What version of Windows? [00:09] vista [00:09] Reaby: indeed. [00:09] nickster500: okay, hold on a moment. [00:09] ok [00:09] p041nx: not that i can think of no, i havent changed any of the settings [00:10] Reaby: coding in java using the gedit is like pulling hair. [00:10] ShdwShinobi, thanks. I will try that. I will get back after a reboot. [00:10] Expl0ited: i personally run genuine dreamweaver in wine [00:10] koushik, ok [00:10] r4b:if not, apt-get remove mplayer mplayer-skins libdvdcss2 libggi-target-emu libggi-target-monotext libggimisc2 w32codecs libdvdcss ffmpeg [00:10] Reaby: true that, but who can afford dreamweaver... [00:10] r4b: normaly, a apt-get remove mplayer ffmpeg is enough [00:10] I can't, so I use screem instead. [00:10] nickster500: Press the windows key and pause/break at the same time, then click on device-manager [00:10] p041nx: ok [00:11] Expl0ited: if you make pages for money, it pays it self soon back :) [00:11] what [00:11] P041NX: thanks a lot, it's perfect. Sorry to answer you so late, I was away for a moment. [00:11] hello all [00:11] try with a reinstall of ffmpeg and mplayer first, to see if it has solved the problem [00:11] this channel is topicless [00:11] What did you tell me to do [00:11] i heard [00:11] Expl0ited: well otherwise maybe use kompoZer or screem [00:12] Hello, I have turned off screensaver/power management stuff but still losing signal to my display after 20min-2h.. not really sure what to search for, really need some help. Please. [00:12] oh woot. damn. why are there so many people in here? [00:12] nickster500: On your keyboard, press the windows key and the pause/break key at the same time, then click device manager on the window that comes up. [00:12] p041nx: it says ffmpeg wasnt installed so not removed [00:12] Reaby: >.< [00:12] Can someone please help me get WIFI WORKING!

Welcome! [00:13] p041nx: mplayer look like it's crashed, I'm going to reboot, Be back soon [00:14] r4b: then a apt-get install mplayer {whatever-you-have-removed-here} will reinstall it [00:14] i've already installed the restricted extras [00:14] ok [00:14] y0d4: what have you done so far? [00:14] wtf, he is going to reboot? [00:14] It sees the router and card, but won't connect [00:14] TwoD, were you able to post your xorg file? [00:14] litb: see http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming and #freenode for more irc specific things. [00:14] why dont you guys tell him that rebooting is not how one solves problems? [00:14] I have tried installing drivers but i am pretty new to ubuntu and linux [00:14] litb: its not??!?! [00:15] Big smiley donkey dick [00:15] y0d4: you already see the access point? [00:15] he's gone... well, bit late now... [00:15] Yes [00:15] Could you tell me what is a windows key and a puase/break key? [00:15] MeVsTheVoices: This is a support channel, that is not appropriate. [00:15] dmsuperman_ - Uhm, am I not supposed to have access to www? I need to sudo browse nautilus to edit files there. [00:15] y0d4: do you get an ip adress? [00:15] Osse: add yourself to the www-data group [00:15] I don't know how to check that [00:15] nickster500, pause break key says 'pause break' on it. windows key has the windows logo on it [00:15] I was going to tell his to apt-get install mplayer ... but... [00:15] hello [00:16] does apt-get have a "reinstall" function or should I remove then install? [00:16] hahae [00:16] dmsuperman_ - How is this done? [00:16] Osse: System -> Admin. -> Users & Groups I think [00:16] nickster500: You may want to join ##windows to get help finding your network card model if you do not have another computer to work on while we troubleshoot Linux, its going to make this quite a bit harder for us. [00:16] y0d4: type ifconfig or iwconfig to a terminal, and put sudo in front of it [00:16] o ok got it [00:16] Crshman, apt-get install --reinstall packagelist ... [00:16] Crshman: it has. sudo apt-get install --reinstall [package] [00:16] nickster500: Press device manager and tell me what is listed under network adapters [00:16] ah thnx guys [00:16] Crshman, or. aptitude reinstall packagelist ... [00:17] Crshman: it does have the function, see man apt-get for details [00:17] dmsuperman_ - Nothing like that listed. [00:17] Hello there, I have turned off screensaver/power management stuff but still losing signal to my display after 20min-2h.. not really sure what to search for, really need some help. Please. [00:17] could i go on linux then connect the internet by wire then could you help with gettin to wireless [00:17] Crshman: note, sometimes package doesn't get reconfigured, so run dpkg-reconfigure [package] if that happens. [00:17] Expl0ited: yes, it is not [00:17] Reaby, good call forgot about that [00:17] Expl0ited: there is not a wizard or something that changes your PC while it is rebooting [00:17] ShdwShinobi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/39796/ [00:17] how do i get a new workspace in gnome? [00:17] Osse: I'm not sure where it's moved to in Haryd [00:17] Is there an ubuntu distro for web developers? [00:18] Hardy* [00:18] nickster500: Now that we're already here, it doesnt really matter, we just need the name of the network adapters. [00:18] ShdwShinobi, Sorry for the delay, added a comment [00:18] superspuck: might be energy saver function built into monitor. check monitor setting [00:18] dmsuperman_ - Oh, kay.

[00:20]  Crshman: np, alsamixer installed ? [00:20] r4b: no prob, all good if ti was fixed. [00:20] ScheissDroge2, I believe so... [00:21] y0d4: first of all please write the name of the person that you're talking to in front of your answers, second if you dont see inet addr: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx then you dont have one [00:21] ScheissDroge2, yes...it is [00:21] blizzardman1219: no problem [00:21]  Crshman: can launch it ? see hda in right corner ?

[00:22] What am i suppose to do now that i told you the items listed under network adapters? [00:22] nickster500: Allright... broadcom drivers are a bit tricky in linux, so you'll probably want to reboot to ubuntu and connect with wired to set them up.. heres some reading to get started on with though: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [00:22] P041NX: oh wait one sec I will try that, what I did is take the code and put it in a .sh file :S [00:22]  Crshman: unmuted (green icon above sliders) /raised vol / inputs open ? [00:22] ok [00:22] ScheissDroge2, yes all of them are max and unmuted [00:23] its goin to take a while because i hav to install linux again [00:23] ScheissDroge2, and the volume control works for sound from youtube [00:23] if you want it to execute by it self, youl,ll need to set the executable bit on with chmod [00:23]  Crshman: have an mp3 file around (or wav.. ? [00:24] ScheissDroge2, I have tried both mp3 and wav [00:24] can someone help me get an IBM machine booting ubuntu, i have changed boot order to no avail?

I kinda changed them accidentally :) [00:26] Ok, I still need help with Samba shares between two Ubuntu machines.

I tried the option for running grub within ubuntu: section "From Inside Ubuntu" [00:26] no just the folder un\a\ffiliate [00:26] unop, [00:27] ShdwShinobi: desktop IBM "son know mob type" the bios startup is split between primary startup sequence & automatic startup sequence other than that i dont know what else i can say [00:27] 755 [00:27] k [00:27] thanks P041NX [00:27] mindframe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:27] ShdwShinobi, however, I don't see the item grub inside my /sbin directory [00:27] ShdwShinobi, I do see it in /usr/sbin/grub [00:27] never use 777 unless absolutely must [00:27] Pirate_Hunter, model would be nice... other wise I'm not really sure [00:28] ShdwShinobi, Can I run that instead ? [00:28] P041NX: actually, what should I add in the code so that I have the track number in front of each track please? (beginning with 01) [00:28] koushik, sorry... I didn't specify. just follow the quick start [00:28] type 'grub' in terminal and that will be fine [00:28] what question do i have to ask to get help for wirleless on this laptop?

Does anyone know of a GUI VPN client for Ubuntu? [00:30] Pirate_Hunter: IBM ThinkCentres have a system type and this is the model of the machine. Check for a sticker on the front of the machine or around the sides. On laptops its underneath the machine [00:30] P041NX: no no, just the number of the item basically. like first item of the list would be 01, second 02, tenth 10, etc [00:30] ShdwShinobi, ok. Was wondering you would say that... I have a file x-fer happenning that will take an hr or so. So I will try after that. Thanks for tip.

[01:05] anybody know how to fix permissions on audio cd playback? datacd's works but audio cd doesn't play. [01:05] one thing to note. The bash script itself is NOT simulitanious.

[01:08] ezzieyguywuf, I did the same research a while back. reiser seems unstable and likely to lose your data, xfs doesn't seem as stable as ext3 either. [01:08] ext3 is more compatible, has more tools, is more proven.... but might not be the best performing [01:08] to which I say..."so what" :) [01:08] ezzieyguywuf: we need OS info... [01:08] if you want to kill all process when bash script exits, you should consider recording all the pid's [01:09] I'm running linux mint 8.04 which is basically ubuntu hardy heron [01:09] ReiserFS is faster but not as stable as EXT3. [01:09] hardy heroin [01:09] I'm not impressed with reiser at all [01:09] the $$ operator, or using the ps -aF |grep $$ shhould do the job to list all process with givin pid [01:09] it'd be nice if it was compatible with windows in case anyone in my family wanted to share music with me, but not vital. I just want a secure file system that will hold all my music and not corrupt data easily [01:09] file systems that -ever- corrupt data are bad enough. as a regular thing? no thanks :) [01:09] Swish: I used it extensively in freebsd. [01:09] stwange: none of this is making sense to me at all [01:09] swish: thanks for the info [01:10] Expl0ited, may the FreeBSD gods have mercy on your soul :) [01:10] Swish: never had a problem with it. [01:10] on an IBM thinkcentre with 256 ram which is best xubuntu or ubuntu (could i get away with running ubuntu on it)? [01:10] Expl0ited, that's good :) [01:10] #list [01:10] LurkerInTheWebs, I'd help you more but I've never done it so I don't want to give you bad advice. All I know is Windows overwrites the MBR and it needs restoring but it's easily doable (XP does the same thing to Vista), google will help you, seriously [01:11] course it uses ReiserFS out of the box, not ext3. [01:11] Expl0ited, that could be a bonus ;) [01:11] Pirate_Hunter: proc ? graphic ? ram should fit [01:11] :( [01:11] I've got a D-link DWA-547 Rangebooster N650 wireless PCI card in my desktop machine.

I'll try to find out what cron is. would this solution work for when i suspend using FN+F4 as well as the system tray button [01:25] ezzieyguywuf: no that wouldn't work.

[01:28] how can i use the internet wireless but the driver is a windows driver i think it is called broadcom [01:28] yhabani: if vmware allowed system image dump/restore, then might as well save a image, then shut down vmware completely, before suspending [01:28] ok [01:28] ill try it [01:28] Whiz2: is your monitor working alright? [01:28] i need to get my wireless network working on my ubunto [01:29] Gnea: my monitor worked fine until I changed that setting.

It acts as an audio server and all that would be left would be to set up a client. hope that helps [01:30] p041nx : which pid again ? the vmware- serverd or the vmx?

[01:37] <_Pantera> And bye bye all [01:37] Whiz2: can come to x ? [01:38] ezzieyguywuf: it describes a game situation but, you can use the commands for suspend resume. [01:38] okay...so I followed the directions on restoring grub...but now I'm at the screen where it just says that windows didn't shut down properly and I can select safe mode or normal [01:38] explioted: i'll give it a read over [01:38] wanderingii:that's ok [01:38] ScheissDroge2: it gives me the option to normal boot, repair broken packages, drop to shell, or try to fix X [01:38] thanks seekingtruth, but when I select hibernate or suspend , some commands appear and nothing happens , and I have to take the battery off to turn off the laptop [01:38] scheiss: what exactly where you trying to say? i think you might have typoed [01:38] problem though is that you need the command to wait until it resumes to work backwards. [01:38] pre-released updates (hardy) is good idea to be "on" at software sources? [01:38] but make sure perl has a version [01:39] Whiz2: try fix x , first result will be poor, but.. [01:39] then what about python? [01:39] cavallo did you install latest alternative Ubuntu? [01:39] ScheissDroge2: ok [01:39] I don't think so [01:39] Whiz2: at least we can go on then (hopefully) [01:39] ScheissDroge2: i tried the wrong option rebooting again [01:39] TwoD, I figured out my problem... but now I have to figure out a way to correc it :/ and there's not much in your xorg.conf that can help I don't think [01:39] cavallo try latest alternative Ubuntu CD.

[01:40] How do I get the artist and album to show for songs in the file browser? [01:40] I'd like to sort by those things [01:40] wanderingii:python too. normaly a 2.4 something should be good enough [01:40] ummm , so I can't solve this problem now :( [01:40] mine is ii python 2.4.3-11ubuntu3 An interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version) [01:40] TwoD, nvidia is getting a bad EDID from my monitor. However... my monitor doesn't have a bad EDID. It's just using EDID 1.3 and, apparently, nvidia can't read this correctly [01:41] ShdwShinobi, oh ok. I haven't had that happen to me. Using the latest drivers etc? I think there even was an update today, but I didn't look to see what it included. [01:41] seems ok here [01:41] if I installed a vnc server type package and configured it, would i still be able to login and view my screen remotely even if my monitor were disabled? [01:41] TwoD, I'm using the restricted [01:41] i'll check nvidia's site [01:41] exploited: ah. i've actually read that article already. The problem you were reffering to is easily solved by adding a sleep command for about 6 seconds. I actually had a script like that which called pm-suspend and it worked great except for two things: 1) it needed root access to call pm-suspend, so i had to ad gksu to my script. 2) i could not find the script to replace in order for all system suspends to run through that script, [01:41] then a apt-ge install {whatever-stuff-that-you-wanted} seems the next step [01:41] Hello does anyone here own Swap Magic and knows the easiest way to make backups of games on Ubuntu?

[01:43] wanderingii :normaly that's in the /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0 for ubuntu. check if it's there? [01:43] ezzieyguywuf: possible [01:43] lurker: did u use a super grub disc? [01:43] no Sub101... [01:43] ezzieyguywuf: Im not answering that, last time I had like 5 people ignore cause they thought I was crazy. [01:43] scheiss: thanks [01:43] :) [01:43] TwoD, well, thanks for helping me get to where I am :) Now that I know the problem, it'll be easier to search for what people already have done [01:43] LurkerInTheWebs: encrypt GRUB too for added security [01:43] does ubuntu's netboot files (vmlinuz, initrd.gz) include keys for ubuntu packages? [01:43] ok , I will [01:44] ezzieyguywuf: how did you format ? [01:44] Whiz2, whats the issue? [01:44] exploited: you could pm me your answer, i'm kind of interested [01:44] scheiss: ext3 [01:44] ScheissDroge2: selected to fix X and it returned my hardware to normal. thanks [01:44] cavallo peace be with you :) [01:44] ShdwShinobi, yeah, hopefully. Yw btw =) [01:44] msg seekingtruth I installed windows on a partition then used the steps here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [01:44] you too [01:44] exploited: so you don't have any suggestions for the two problems that I had with my suspend script? [01:44] PO41NX its there except mine is .5 where as uve said .4 [01:45] i tried changing the permissions to pm-suspend but that didn't seem to help [01:45] not much a diffrence [01:45] Whiz2: better go to /etc/X11/ and check the latest xorg.conf backup, reoair mostly lacks [01:45] ...wait... [01:45] Unfortunately I have to use windows vista until I found a solution [01:45] LurkerInTheWebs: what is your main objective? [01:45] ezzieyguywuf: if you change it just to run with user permissions perhaps maybe it will work, though your problem with that is if any exploit exists. [01:46] Whiz2, whats the issue? i have a walk thru on vnc tunneled thru ssh for security, if you are interested [01:46] exploited: what do you mean by exploits? [01:46] cavallo i run Vista as host and Ubuntu as guest, using Virtualbox [01:46] lurker: sorry, afraid the only method ive used has been grub disk [01:46] LurkerInTheWebs: what are you trying to achieve exactly? [01:46] so you'd do it from within windows using the Super Grub Disk [01:46] im just saying... [01:46] in main window pls [01:46] seekingtruth: being able to boot Ubuntu again [01:46] super grub is a kind of live cd [01:47] LurkerInTheWebs: then add Grub using SuperGrub CD [01:47] I tried vmware, is that the same? [01:47] i use Supergrub and its helped me many times [01:47] cavallo Virtualbox is free and better than the free vmware player IMHO :) [01:47] I'm looking for an application to stream audio over the network from my Ubuntu box to my Windows box - is this doable? [01:47] wanderingii: might be easyer if you reinstall the python, as oviously something is missing, may it be the lib, the link, or whatever. apt-get remove python ; apt-get install python [01:47] can someone please help me fix my wireless on my laptop [01:47] please [01:48] cavallo virtualbox supports wmware files too [01:48] i mean trying to read [01:48] TwoD, do you have experience with virtual box? [01:48] nickster500: pls dont beg [01:48] so It's an alternative to vmware ? [01:48] but it not useful [01:48] nickstar: what kind of laptop is it? [01:48] nickster: ur problem was using windows drivers? [01:48] nickster500, what have you done so far, seen you on for a while [01:48] seekingtruth: what I'm concerned about is that GRUB wasn't picking up the fact that I had two partitions...one with windows, one with ubuntu [01:48] cavallo its similar [01:48] ShdwShinobi, nope [01:48] i tried readin [01:48] k, nevermind then [01:48] ezzieyguywuf: Im sorry but that really I can come up with right now. [01:48] :) ok [01:48] but there is notin useful [01:48] LurkerInTheWebs: if you had windows installed and then installed Ubuntu afterwareds, GRUB would pick windows up! unless you installed it wrong :P [01:49] exploited: well thanks for all your help. its greatly appreciated [01:49] No...it was the reverse order, seekingtruth. [01:49] so what am i suppose to do [01:49] scheiss: are you all out of ideas as well? [01:49] Is it possible for me to display the artist and album of a song in the file manager? [01:49] wait until someone replys [01:49] nickster500: yes exactly [01:49] mavsman4457 check the properties [01:49] or ask until someone replys [01:49] exploited: didn't you have something to say about my 1tb hard disk showing up as 937gb after formatting to ext3? :-) i really do wanna hear what you got to say [01:50] so what so you use basically , windows or ubuntu ? [01:50] but the the thing is that no one wants to reply [01:50] or they dont know what i am askin [01:50] LurkerInTheWebs: then you just need to add Windows to GRUB [01:50] noodlesgc, i know i can see it in the properties but i want to sort by artist [01:50] nickster: have u used ndiswrapper yet? [01:50] mavsman: if you could find a window manager that could recognize tags, i'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. I think it would take some tinkering, but i think its doable [01:50] LurkerInTheWebs: Load Ubuntu and open terminal and type "gksudo nautilus" [01:50] no thats the thing [01:50] where do i get [01:51] taht [01:51] that [01:51] nickster: try sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper [01:51] LurkerInTheWebs: then open the gryb menu file [01:51] seekingtruth...I can't run ubuntu [01:51] nickster500, try typing the nick of the person you are talking to in your reply, that way it shows up for them [01:51] LurkerInTheWebs: then you really stuffed up :) [01:51] I can only run it off the Live CD [01:51] o [01:51] LurkerInTheWebs: start again [01:51] ?? [01:51] seaphor o [01:51] start again? [01:51] mavsman4457 ah, AFAIK, that is not possible. When I need to do that, I just sort inside my banshee music library [01:51] seaphor, i didnt know === Sergeant_Pony is now known as Pony_kb1ohy [01:51] nickster500, see, i see that now ;-) [01:52] seekingtruth...how do you mean? [01:52] LurkerInTheWebs: install windows. and then install Virtualbox. and then install ubuntu using virtuialbox! then it wont mess with your MBR [01:52] ShdwShinobi, I tried that link. It works fine now. Thanks a lot [01:52] Right...but I already have stuff on my main partition that I want to keep [01:52] ShdwShinobi, my ubuntu can boot from hdd directly. WoW!

[01:54] lurkerinthewebs: i agree with seekingtruth. sounds to me like you're not using grub [01:54] noodlesgc, maybe i;ll try that, do you know if you can do that in songbird because i've only deleted stuff from my library [01:54] LurkerInTheWebs: no because u cant load windows until you add it! but you can use Supergrub to load windows [01:55] |thunder where is console [01:55] lurker: SUperGrub loads at boot, much like a live CD [01:55] I see [01:55] LurkerInTheWebs: use Supergrub to restore GRUB then load Ubuntu. once ubuntu is loaded, open terminal, and type "gksudo nautilus" [01:55] <|thunder> nick, accesories ?

[03:05] RequinB4: how are you trying to wait? [03:06] Can someone help? I have onboard audio disabled in bios. I have my SoundBlaster card chose in the Preferences -> Sound area. Yet I still get sound from onboard, and not the audigy. ALSAMixer shows onboard as well, and not the Audigy card. Please help :( [03:06] robdig: it seems like i've tried everything -- wait, while [ -n /bin/pidof command] do sleep 5; done.... [03:06] itachi7: the thing is, what it sounds to me is that you're running a virtual copy of Ubuntu in XP. Could you add more virtual hard drive space to Ubuntu through Wubi? [03:07] itachi7: I'm not familiar at all with it. [03:07] acousey, no i cant [03:07] RequinB4: using bash? [03:07] yes [03:07] acousey, oh so what u recommend is go buy a cd burn the os nd installing it trough the live cd? [03:07] dmraid question, i have 2 non system disks that are in mirroring on the Gigabyte motherboard's "hardware" raid. Ubuntu sees the disks as seperate. I installed dmraid now, but not sure what to do next.. dmraid -s shows one active set. http://pastebin.com/m48916dc4 [03:08] itachi7: now there's other ways around that [03:08] itachi7: but first try to get the Wubi thing done [03:08] acousey, is it possible to install ubuntu throu a usb flash driver [03:08] ? [03:09] acousey, i cant [03:09] uoaphys:is it a copy you try to watch ? [03:09] Is there a Room for beginners to ubuntu and linux? [03:09] RequinB4: -n tests for a non-zero length string. think you want to execute the pidof command, then test exit status of the command [03:09] i think so, but again, I'm not too familiar with this stuff [03:09] acousey, it says bout the all partitioning menu thing [03:09] !ask  jshaterian [03:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:10] !ask | jshaterian [03:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask  [03:10] wait?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:10] http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=c1c07ed8b597f90e720bdcf06ce37521 [03:10] itachi7: what was that? [03:10] robdig: hold on, trying something [03:11] acousey, it says bout the all partitioning menu thing [03:11] what is with this i hate you julia thing? is someone making money on it? [03:11] acousey, when i installing it from wubi [03:11] baghgh I am constantly confused! where do I go to ask newb questions?

[03:14] thanks, I can play movies now with vlc [03:14] but can't get k9copy to preview it, might be a bug in k9copy [03:14] robdig: nope [03:15] brnrdbrk: what do you mean by quiet? [03:15] itachi7: what was your problem with the whole partitioning thing again? and try to be specific [03:15] cshadowrun: shows u current running procs [03:15] is there a way to organize files of /lost+found ?? [03:15] yes ScheissDroge2: I downloaded mediabuntu and installed libdvdcss2 and now VLC works, but k9copy doesn't want to preview... not sure why. and yes, I am using the original DVD, not a copy of one [03:15] acousey, k [03:15] robdig: im using it with cron, and cron keeps mailing me with unecessary output. [03:15] !nick > uoaphys [03:16] brnrdbrk: and the output is the list of files tar is processing? [03:16] is anyone good with wireless [03:16] robdig: exactly [03:16] ScheissDroge2 well yea, i've looked there and didn't find it (And ps is better, as it lists all the processes, rather than the top few) [03:16] ScheissDroge2: why did you send nick to me? [03:16] it didn't work btw [03:16] acousey, o click ubuntu in the os menu ok everything is ok right is installing and and all but when it gets to 100% it says this error: no root file system no root file system is denied please correct this from the partitioning menu [03:16] cshadowrun: cause i lost your messages [03:17] ...? [03:17] cshadowrun: you might need libdvdss ( or so) [03:17] brnrdbrk: have you tried redirecting stderr to /dev/null? [03:17] uhm? [03:17] i might need a dvd library to find out the process name of the notification library? [03:17] cshadowrun: mom [03:17] o...k... [03:17] * cshadowrun wanders off now. [03:17] noone is good with wireless? [03:17] when running a game or program in VirtualBox OSE, how well does it run? [03:18] Crazytom whats up? [03:18] robdig: nope, ill try it out. thanks for the tip. [03:18] brnrdbrk: np, good luck [03:18] itachi7: I don't know anything about Wubi, but did it ask you to give a certain amount of virtual hard drive space to ubuntu? [03:18] cshadowrun, it no worky worky [03:18] robdig: thanks :) [03:18] Crazytom what did you try to make it work? [03:18] cshadowrun, i can't get it to associate [03:19] acousey, not really [03:19] cshadowrun: 32 or 64 ? [03:19] ScheissDroge2 uh, 64.

[03:20] itachi7: did you follow a walkthrough? [03:20] ScheissDroge2 and this helps me find out the process name of the notification daemon how exactly? [03:20] okay i'm now trying to use different software to burn ubuntu [03:20] acousey, not really [03:20] Crazytom are you sure you have the settings correct? hex/ascii, etc. [03:20] cshadowrun: sry, messed with nicks [03:20] am i in the wrong place for support?

[03:24] http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=21b147b55bd720a09773dcda43ebd042 [03:24] uoaphys: so 15 min later i got vlc not working... [03:24] cshadowrun, I already have roaming on, I don't see any networks === silence is now known as Guest23761 [03:24] Crazytom that means your out of range or your wireless card is not supported by ubuntu, or your drivers are broken [03:24] cshadowrun, not a chance i'm out of range [03:24] and where is the websight where i can make a .htaccess file [03:25] i suggest you check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [03:25] cshadowrun, I upgraded to 8.04 so it's supported [03:25] itachi7: CD [03:25] website to make an htaccess file?

[03:25] like i give my pass and it encrypts it [03:25] itachi7: burn [03:25] Crazytom https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide should help you fix it :) [03:25] jahnkeanater, any reason you don't want to / can't make one yourself? [03:25] acousey, ok [03:25] cshadowrun, thanks [03:26] itachi7 requesting it may take a few weeks [03:26] robdig: haha! it was simple as that. :D thanks [03:26] acousey, ik [03:26] itachi7, how are you trying to install ubuntu? [03:26] robdig: never thought of that :P [03:26] through what?

Aptitude says it is, and looks like a simple dependency problem. I was about to report a bug to it, but I thought to ask in irc first, just in case [03:29] friedtofu, does utorrent run like in windows w/o issues at all ? [03:29] When using twinview, Is it possible to have dialogs appear in the center of a monitor instead of the middle between two monitors? [03:30] anyone know about file recovery? I've already ran photorec but recovered almost no files even though no action in the drive other unmount and remount it. Can anyone suggest anything? [03:30] itachi7: i don't know a lot about wubi, but i am sure there is someone else on here who does. You just need to be a little bit more specific about what your problem is [03:30] carandraug: foremost [03:30] hitman1985: haha - yeah, it runs smoothly - eh - set the wine settings to emulate Windows XP - its awesome tho i stopped it for deluge -but it runs flawless - if you look at utorrent, it even says next to win xp,vista, wine [03:30] When using twinview, Is it possible to have dialogs appear in the center of a monitor instead of the middle between two monitors? [03:30] Gnea: thanks. I'll search for that [03:30] hitman1985: play more alsamixer for the rest of your sound and make shure input is dolby 5.1 [03:31] input ?

[03:32] hey guys how can i make a live CD from the linux partition i already have installed [03:32] is there anyone here who uses Wubi and would be able to help itachi7 locate the partitioning menu in it? I have to go [03:32] When using twinview, Is it possible to have dialogs appear in the center of a monitor instead of the middle between two monitors? [03:32] see y'all later! [03:32] b3lorixx: will it fit on a cd [03:32] jahnkeanater: did it recovered fine? [03:32] ScheissDroge2, hard to get, but the refurb of alsa from my standard 128kb mp3s is good enough [03:32] jahneanater: should [03:33] ScheissDroge2, better then stereo on surround system :) [03:33] anna [03:33] lint: download your theme, then system->preferences->appearances, on the theme tab, click button that says install, browse to theme you downloaded, click ok [03:33] hitman1985: fore shure, burn the neighbourhood.. [03:33] Is there a way i can add My Wireless Driver using Ndiswrapper to a live CD so i dont have to always reinstall it [03:34] b3lorixx, theres ways to remaster the live cd.. but its not trivial - from the docs ive seen. [03:34] rfff [03:34] wwwww [03:34] k [03:34] oh bullocks [03:34] b3lorixx, You could just put all the needed files on a usb thumb drive so you can easially install them from that. [03:34] acousey, hey [03:35] ScheissDroge2, more likely ima ruin their party now, because the x530's are glowing now :) [03:35] Dr_willis: i already do that and its a pain in the you know what [03:35] ScheissDroge2, with KKS / D-FLAME / Samy D and so on [03:35] hitman1985: if you put good amp on it, flac is best audio format [03:36] b3lorixx, make a script on the usb drive that does the proper commands I guess to make it easier.. I dont use wireless.. so good luck [03:36] lint: just saw you were asking about gdm, sorry, i told you desktop. for gdm it is system->administration->login window, local tab, click add button...

[03:36] robdig: thank you very much [03:36] b3lorixx, a bash script is just a text file with the right commands in it. then you make it executable. [03:36] jshaterian: no source available ?

[03:48] can someone tell me how to open a program from a terminal window but still be able to type in commandS? [03:48] lint, after you type the command, add a & [03:48] so... "gedit &" [03:48] oh, yes thank you [03:48] i rememeber now [03:49] and i used wubi to reinstall it, but this time gave it 30GBs, which is good. but the problem is when i open ubuntu and it starts installing, it stops and says "no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu" [03:49] ShdwShinobi, for the moment yes. I used Xinerama before. [03:49] uu [03:50] any help [03:50] fd [03:50] well, TwoD, do you know how to make it so windows don't open up split between the two screens? [03:50] does anyone here use mpd? i am having some trouble getting it to work [03:50] ShdwShinobi, you doing dual screens now? [03:50] lint, i do [03:50] ShdwShinobi, is it just me or does that & never work as expected? ie. if you type it you get a new prompt, but as soon as that program has anything to output you lose the prompt again [03:50] i have mpd scirpts in xchat too :P [03:50] ShdwShinobi, I'm not sure if there's a setting for that. But I think I saw something in Compiz dealing with window placement. I don't remember exactly what tho. [03:51] I just bought a new 160 GB external hard disk by Iomega, with a USB cable. However, plugging it into my computer does not do anything. I am on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) [03:51] danopia`xubuntu, yep. I got it to work! :D long story short... I had to hook my monitor up to a windows company, extract the EDID, and save it to a file which I referenced in the xorg config. Boom, perfect working condition... [03:51] DJAdmira1, you probably might ahve you mount it [03:51] Ok, thanks TwoD. I'll look into it [03:51] danopia`xubuntu: im getting the following error unable to bind port 6600: Address already in use [03:51] maybe MPD is still running?

[03:52] danopia`xubuntu: how do i do that? [03:52] ShdwShinobi, so what are you trying now? [03:52] No, I told you I use Ubuntu. [03:52] ShdwShinobi, I'm heading to bed really soon, but pm me if you've got more questions and I could take a look at it in the morning. [03:52] danopia`xubuntu: do i editr the conf file? [03:52] lint, yes [03:52] I installed network manager 0.7 ...where as initially thing appeared slightly better...they've now gone to way worse....I can't connect to my wifi network...what log files should I look at to try and determine why so I can open a bug...is this the right place to discuss this or #gnome (who sent em here) [03:52] TwoD, ok, will do. Thanks for all the help! [03:52] i think you need /etc/mpd.conf, lint [03:53] danopia`xubuntu, I'm trying to get it so windows don't open split between two screens [03:53] DJAdmira1: open the terminal and type: sudo fdisk -l [03:53] ShdwShinobi, jsut drag the window to one side or the other [03:53] mine always open in my right montior [03:53] which is the first monitor to my GPU [03:53] danopia`xubuntu: ok thank you [03:54] danopia`xubuntu, yeah I do... but it'll just annoy me after a while. I guess be thankful it's finally working, eh? :) [03:54] * danopia`xubuntu gets tired of #ubuntu already and runs off to a private network to relax [03:55] f [03:55] gnea.... it's my 500gb hdd! if I unplug the IDE from it... it'll spin up. [03:55] and my computer will actually try to boot up. [03:55] okay, it appears to be sda3 [03:55] #ubuntu [03:55] why is network manager such a piece of crap? [03:55] If i regularly dist-upgrade ubuntu, will it eventually grow up to be Debian installation? [03:56] jpastore because you should learn to manually configure yourself [03:56] illmorta1: maybe you need to upgrade your motherboard bios to support it === Linwood is now known as Adrian [03:56] illmorta1: or it's a bad cable [03:56] jpastore so the real question is: why are you such a piece of crap? [03:56] it was just working last night.. [03:56] how would I mount it if it's a new, unformatted hard disk? [03:56] ah bad cable! ok brb gonna switch IDE cables! [03:56] illmorta1, what are you trying to do, install to a USB HDD? [03:56] jibb, show me a howto so that I can config wifi without it and I will [03:56] danopia`xubuntu: no, his system doesn't finish POSTing [03:56] jpastore do a google. It's easy [03:57] no, wait, it's not sda3 [03:57] no... last night i restarted my PC... and a few peripherals turned off... and now I'm trying to figure out. [03:57] jibb or rather why you're such a douche bab\g hater [03:57] the 500gb is a slave drive. [03:57] Gnea, but it POSTs without the USB HDD plugged in? [03:57] Hi all, one question about killing process, how to kill firefox without knowing its pid or id? [03:57] or is it not USB [03:57] it's IDE [03:57] jpastore: that is unnecessary. [03:57] * danopia`xubuntu runs off to scrollback [03:57] internal [03:57] jpastore sure, have fun :) [03:57] s/bab\/g/bag/ [03:57] danopia`xubuntu: can you tell me what this means? cannot setgid for user "mpd" at line 35: Operation not permitted [03:57] gonna switch ide cables! [03:57] something like "kill firefox" [03:57] Gnea, so was his comment [03:57] !language | jpastore [03:57] jpastore: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:57] lint, no idea [03:57] ps -AF |grep firefox [03:58] jpastore: wrong, suggesting google is perfectly fine to do here. [03:58] jpastore i informed you to google. if you are unable to do that, do not take it out on me. Thank you. [03:58] hey.. what options/arguments can I do to get full path when using find.. i am currently using "find ./ -n "*.mp3" but results begin with ./ i want the whole path.. [03:58] P041NX: ok, but if the user has too many "instances" of it, how to kill all of them? [03:58] Gnea, look prior comment: jpastore so the real question is: why are you such a piece of crap? [03:58] Joelito, try pkill firefox === Initial_1 is now known as Initial_M [03:59] jpastore any further comments are OT. Please take them to the off topic channel. [03:59] wow, i totally missed that. [03:59] Gnea, suggesting google is a fine coment...unhelpful but fine...calling me a piece of crap is not [03:59] !language | jibb [03:59] jibb: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:59] jibb: that's no better. [03:59] jibb, jpastore: to your corners! [03:59] kill all firefix? [03:59] jibb, I'm not discussing this with you [03:59] ps -AF |grep [f]irefox |awk '{print $2}' |xargs -i kill -s 9 {} [03:59] Gnea I agree ;) [03:59] danopia`xubuntu: Thanks :p [03:59] P041NX, wouldn't pkill work? [03:59] jpastore, jibb: take it to PM or just put each other on /ignore [04:00] yep, that'll work too [04:00] Gnea the conversation is over. Let's move on. [04:00] fair enough [04:00] Joelito, your welcome :P [04:00] Any suggestions on getting Ubuntu to recognize my new external hard disk? [04:00] DJAdmira1: using what interface? [04:01] DJAdmira1, did you try seeing if it needs to be mounted? [04:01] Gnea: USB cable. [04:01] danopia`xubuntu: it's not showing up in fdisk -l [04:01] my usb hdd is /dev/sda2 [04:01] DJAdmira1, hmm /me man's fdisc [04:01] DJAdmira1: Put the output of fdisk into pastebin. [04:01] does anyone know how to fi xthis error? [04:01] cannot setgid for user "mpd" at line 35: Operation not permitted [04:01] h [04:01] DJAdmira1: i would tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal and plug it in [04:02] lint: what program produces the error? [04:02] i do'nt have fdisc, maybe it's because i'm using xubuntu [04:02] Gnea: mpd, music player daemon [04:02] danopia`xubuntu: or maybe you're not root :) [04:02] Gnea, oh right [04:02] i'm still a linux nub [04:02] i installed xubuntu 2 days ago [04:03] Gnea, danopia`xubuntu: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/39823/ [04:03] danopia`xubuntu: we're all at that stage at one point or another :) [04:03] Gnea, sudo: fdisc: command not found [04:03] it's fdisk, not fdisc [04:03] danopia`xubuntu: What to do when I get "Operation not permitted"? :s [04:03] oh wow [04:03] * danopia`xubuntu detects his failure [04:04] DJAdmira1: looks like it's fine - click on Places and select the various partitions and it should automount them [04:04] Gnea: That's just the point - it's not there at all [04:04] danopia`xubuntu: don't beat yourself up so much, it took the rest of us years to learn the ropes :) [04:05] DJAdmira1: eeeeh??? o.O [04:05] Gnea, i only konw some commands from cygwin :P [04:05] danopia`xubuntu: pah! cygwin doesn't count! very useful, though ;) [04:05] Gnea, somehow in two days i got samba, ssh, hotkeys, mpd/mpm, dual screens etc. up [04:05] Gnea: It doesn't recognize the external hard disk at all, period. [04:05] with only minimal googling [04:06] danopia`xubuntu: well, you've got it easy these days... a decade ago, if you wanted anything decent, you had to learn how to use a C compiler [04:06] Gnea, i would at least use rpm :P [04:07] Gnea, and i do konw how to use one, if it's only a ./configure && make && make install [04:07] DJAdmira1: it's usb, right? does lsusb list the device? [04:07] DJAdmira1: could you please pastebin the output of this command? df -Th [04:08] danopia`xubuntu: ah, very cool :) [04:08] Gnea heh, if you still want anything decent you have use a C compiler ;) [04:08] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/39825/ [04:08] jibb: yeah, i'm just sayin'... ;) [04:08] GNEA!!!!

[04:12] KK [04:12] Hi all. I have a small issue where at each startup, there is no window manager (emerald is off) and this is I think due to desktop effects turning itself off after each restart... [04:12] SeveredCross? [04:13] hey..i was trying to install and play a pc game through WINE...but i dont know where to start [04:13] chronographer, emerald is a theme manager not a window manger if i recall correctly [04:13] Gnea: There is no /dev/sdb detected - that's the whole point. [04:13] can someone help me trouble shoot it? [04:13] Oh, I thought Gnea was a client. [04:13] :) [04:13] mrtech2122 do you have wine installed? [04:13] Because he said PS3 + Gnea. [04:13] it is equivalent to metacity, which is a wm [04:13] SeveredCross: only when i'm standing in line ;) [04:13] DJAdmira1:You'll have to find the block device of the usb hdd first. [04:14] in applications..it has wine on the list ..but i dont know if thats install [04:14] can someone tell me the command to see what processes are running in a terminal? [04:14] ps -af [04:14] So do I need to add a command to sessions to start compiz? [04:14] mrtech2122, it probably means it's installed if it's in the list [04:14] !compiz | chronographer [04:14] chronographer: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [04:14] mrtech2122 http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb follow these instructions [04:14] lol i know but just makin sure [04:14] btw how does sessions work? [04:15] chronographer, i use emerald, i think your confusing it with compiz or metacity which are both window managers, in any case if you want emerald to start add "emerald --replace" to sessions [04:15] anyone familiar with working with php.ini to add modules? === jibb is now known as hogdog [04:15] Durst, what modules?

Follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting%20Apache [04:44] Clone is working, but the Catalyst Control Center is not letting me choose anything else [04:44] lars_, well you can try to rename /etc/apt/sources.list, it *should* get recreated automatically but i could be wrong on that.

While it was running it gave me "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". I think I kind of understood it correctly from what I've read about that. COuld you give me a hand in avoiding it? I ran "sudo foremost -i /dev/sdb1 -o /media/disk/foremost/" [04:46] Flannel, yes there is something about 127.0.01 [04:46] is it not possible to do a multi monitor with Compiz Fusion enabled?

I'm not running Ubuntu on my multi-monitor, but I think if you do multi-monitors, they have to be mirrored, not one giant screen :( [04:46] @bpat...bummer [04:46] !ask | daggerx [04:47] daggerx: 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. :-) [04:47] I'm looking for help to install cisco network assistant with wine, can anyone help [04:47] Gymnast: have you tried #winehq?

Randomly, after a little while (an hour maybe?), I can't type or press keyboard shortcuts, but I can press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. I can also click on some things, but I can't right click or drag anything. I'm using a Graphire 3 tablet and a Logitech Wave keyboard. Any ideas what might be wrong? [04:48] lars_, sounds like a resolv.conf or hosts file issue... [04:48] lars_: alright, you've somehow set up a proxy for apt. Theres... a number of files it could be in (I'm a bit rusty with it), lets check /etc/apt/apt.conf [04:48] daggerx, why not just go into a terminal and type "dpkg --configure -a"? [04:48] well i just disabled Compiz Fusion and I now have to screens === Zopiac is now known as Zopiac|AFK [04:48] I'm gonna reboot as was suggested [04:48] lars_: it's not like you have 127.0.0.1 archive.ubuntu.com in /etc/hosts right? [04:48] P041NX I have no clue [04:49] cat /etc/hosts |grep archive [04:49] lars_, well check and P041NX i think Flannel's right about the proxy for apt. or maybe a global proxy? [04:49] arrrghhh so what do I type where? [04:49] Its definately an apt specific thing, since he can connect through everything else just fine [04:49] i think Flannel's right too. it's probably the cache proxy [04:49] setting [04:50] Flannel, what do I type where? [04:50] totally new to all this [04:50] anyone here has experience in data recovery with foremost? [04:50] lars_: gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf is where we'll start [04:50] hello. When I add something to sessions startup in gnome, I get the error "The startup command cannot be empty" ... the startup command is NOT empty! [04:51] hello everyone [04:51] hello [04:51] Flannel...it's blank [04:51] how do I manually make a sessions preferences entry? [04:51] lars_: that's normal. Like I said, Its been a while since I've dealt with this error, you'll have to excuse my dead ends :) [04:51] I want to copy something to a folder but it's not letting me because I'm not root, anyone knows what I can do?

Enter gksudo nautilus [04:53] Flannel: http://localhost:4001 [04:54] WineHQ shows no help with cisc o network assistant , I tried running it -console [04:54] the hard disk is USB 2.0 only [04:54] lars_: Alright, that's our issue. Did yu try and set up a proxy on this machine? [04:54] lol wow my poor PC is dying. Apparently my sound card and ethernet card is completely dead. [04:54] and I have only one USB 2.0 port at the back of the machine [04:54] Gnea thanks again :P [04:54] Flannel, not to my recollection [04:54] lars_: with anon-proxy or somethign like that? [04:54] Not to my memory [04:54] lars_: alright, do this: grep -r http_proxy /etc and then grep -r http_proxy $HOME/.* [04:55] but that's not the issue, how do I fix? [04:55] lars_: well, if you set up anon-proxy, it's the one that did this. [04:55] is ubuntu update & install packages as binary ? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [04:55] belendax: Yes [04:55] HI, where can I find the packages list like I see in Synaptic but in text file?

[04:56] karex: /etc/apt/sources.lst [04:56] I'm looking for help to install cisco network assistant with wine, can anyone help, winehq shows no help [04:56] karex: Theres a number of text frontends to apt, and ways to see the raw stuff too, what are you trying to do? [04:56] P041NX: i don't think thats what he's asking for.. he wants an actual package list [04:56] eligos: no problem. Glad to be of help [04:56] Flannel...it stopped [04:56] lars_: One of them ought to output something? [04:57] u mean /var/lib/apt/lists/ ? [04:57] Flannel, P041NX: The case is I want to copy the all the packages list I see in Synaptic [04:57] karex: so, a list of the name of all packages? [04:57] Gymnast: did you try "wine cisco.exe" [04:57] Flannel: I mean that when I update my system or install the softwares with apt-get , r the softwares binary or deb ? [04:57] brb Flannel [04:57] as far as I know if that doesn't work, wine is no help [04:57] I just tumbled upon a segmenatation fault bug and would like to help fixing it. I've read to "tell the consultant the location of the 'core' file; don't delete it." but I have no idea what this is nor where can I find it [04:57] belendax: deb files are binary files, but they're deb files.

[04:59] Flannel, what were those last two commands? [05:00] (change path arrordingly) [05:00] lars_: alright, do this: grep -r http_proxy /etc and then grep -r http_proxy $HOME/.* [05:00] i did bpa - not looking good right now [05:00] 8.04 [05:00] when I enter to sistem at the menu doesn´t show me hardware driver [05:00] i got this [05:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/39831/ [05:00] Grandslammaster: apt-get purge apache2 apache2-mpm-worker apache2.2-common [05:00] I'm trying to execute cna-windows-k9-installer-5-4-en.exe and it fails - help [05:01] Okay, I was following a guide on how to speed up Ubuntu, and it had me add "profile" to the end of the kernel line in GRUB.

I ran "locate mhash.so" and found /usr/lib/libmhash.so.2 [05:33] is that the actual module? or just part of it? [05:34] can I point my php.ini to find that and will it work? for example mysql in php.ini is pointed at my mysql.so [05:34] Raspe: should just work i think, if it doesn't totem will probably tell you what to download automatically [05:34] no number afterwords [05:34] calc, what's totem? [05:34] Raspe: the media player [05:34] ah ok. thanks [05:35] Raspe: its just called "Media Player" in the menu [05:35] here is something interesting, i have mb with normal IDE and a RAID ide ctrl, i also added another ctrl card, so i have total of 4 hdd's attached to 3 ctrls, when all of them are plugged in my compuater sits at "verifying dmi pooldata" if i unplug the drives from the add in card, everything works fine [05:35] Raspe: its setup where it can detect and tell you what to install for nearly any media type [05:35] Raspe: it just asks for your password to do the work [05:35] Raspe: for the sudo install [05:35] Dr_willis_: ./configure had a --program-suffix argument.. maybe i should've --help before asking..lol [05:35] !medibuntu | Raspe if any probs, install w32codecs from here [05:35] Raspe if any probs, install w32codecs from here: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:35] calc, I was just going to ask you if it had another name. didn't see it on my media menu. thanks for your help [05:35] thank u so much, im gonna go try it out, be right back === gondim_ is now known as Andre_Gondim [05:36] any idea why it would have that?

I have a bunch of source code accessible via NFS on another machine, but I don't want to build on that machine too. [05:38] hitman1985 i am doing that now :) [05:39] but mine is getting very complicated and so far ran into lot of issues [05:39] Raspe: are you running regular Ubuntu? [05:39] Bhavesh, whats the optimum ? since there is a lot of issues with 64 bit versions i heard [05:39] djhash, those programers think of everything! :) [05:39] Raspe: oh doh, its called "Movie Player" not Media Player, sorry about that [05:39] Raspe: it actually plays anything not just movies [05:39] :-D [05:39] Raspe: rhythm box is the clone of the old itunes interface [05:40] hitman1985 unfortunately, i am building one out of old hardware dual PIII's [05:40] how do i play .m3u files on linux (hardy)? [05:40] arooni, rhytm plays them fine :) [05:40] calc: i'm running the regular ubuntu as far as I know [05:40] Raspe: no problem, i just realized its Movie Player not Media Player [05:40] oh heh [05:40] ok thanks [05:41] I screwed up and got rid of the kernels I "didn't need" after my network upgrade to gutsy. my bad. brb [05:41] Bhavesh, im not talkin about that ;) haha im runing a 2.8 p4 now but its way to slow :( so i was gonna make a custom one (once again) for ubunut [05:41] i set up my roughter so port 80 is the same internial ip as my roughter so my normal ip goes to my sight when im in my lan [05:41] so if i want another server on port 85 how do i do that [05:42] http://127.0.1.1/ works [05:42] help, my monitor will only display in 640x480 even after I've updated the drivers [05:42] calc: so will rhythym box play the .mp3 files as well and if not, will it automatically download what it needs? [05:42] VGA connector, Olevia [05:42] http://127.0.1.1/ does to [05:42] domai: What is your graphic card? [05:42] hitman1985 :) well i am normally behind the technology curve, so i am using a athlon xp 2000 and dual PIII 1Ghz for linux [05:42] geforce 7300 le [05:43] nvidia [05:43] Grandslammaster-> i didnt follow your explanation, you have a router and you want what? [05:43] domai: What driver do you use? [05:43] hitman1985one thing about linux is that you don't really need lot of power, unless you are doing something very intensive [05:43] i used the envy updater to install it [05:43] how do i set up apache2 for port 80 [05:43] 85 sry [05:43] i also tried using the current driver from nvidia's site [05:44] just change the port.conf in etc apache2 [05:44] Grandslammaster-> you modify the apache.conf file or the include file for where it listens on [05:44] domai: Is your monitor LCD of CRT? [05:44] lcd [05:44] Bhavesh: memory helps, but cpu speed doesn't matter too much [05:44] * calc has 6GB ram :) [05:44] when i try to change the display settings, it's like the computer doesn't autodetect the monitor [05:44] domai : If you open System - Pref - Screen resolution, what do you have available? [05:44] : ( i max out at 4gb [05:44] calc i am jealous :) i only got 1GB of memory [05:45] max is 640x480 [05:45] of course the memory helps when building OOo :) [05:45] 4gb ram only cost ~ $60 now [05:45] Hi I just got ubuntu! [05:45] hi [05:45] calc memory helps building anything :) i have installed gentoo with less memory :) [05:45] domai: Strange, ok, let's go with the other wizard, give me a few minutes to find the command... [05:45] hello there! does anybody know what encryption cryptsetup uses by default? [05:45] well i loaded movie player and it went grey on me so I closed it. Now firefox won't load. any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? [05:46] wishie? [05:46] Bhavesh: especially for something like OOo i easily swapped when building with just 2GB ram [05:46] does it make a huge difference if I don't have a swap partition? [05:46] not sure y [05:46] the new intel boards support up to 4 4GB dimms now for 16GB total, that would be nice :) [05:46] well i have 4 hdd's attached with 3 ctrls and i get 'disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter' message [05:46] Raspe: maybe a pulseaudio problem? try closing both and just running one [05:46] that much memory cost ~ $400 right now though [05:47] i remember paying $320 for 8MB simm in 1994 :) [05:47] stevemcc: the only thing I'm running is pidgen. nothing is loading outside of that [05:47] calc i have paid $45 for a stick of 256MB dimm [05:47] Raspe: and movie player still wont load? [05:48] calc nevermind :) u beat me [05:48] stevemcc: nothing is loading now. it all goes grey on me, which I'm assuming means it's locked up [05:48] and then I have to force quit [05:48] daggerx: yeah, whats up [05:49] back, had to step out to smke a fag over this one. [05:49] Bhavesh: yep, i'm an old geek ;-) [05:49] smoke. [05:49] calc i am young geek and proud of it :) [05:49] i found where i paid ~ $400 for a 4MB video card when going through some old papers last week [05:49] Raspe: try running firefox from the comamnd line, it should explain why it cant run [05:49] im 15 and i set up a php mysql server [05:49] stevemcc: in the terminal? [05:49] wasn't even a 3d card, an old matrox 2d card [05:49] domai: Ok, found it, run gksudo displayconfig-gtk [05:50] Raspe: yeah [05:50] domai: With this, you can set you LCD resolution and type... [05:50] calc i have matrox millenium with 2MB ram i paid $350 for [05:50] domai: gksudo is to run the tool as "root" [05:50] how to switch from fluxbox to gnome [05:51] stevemcc: i dont know what the command is :-(. This is the 2nd time I've been on this OS [05:51] Bhavesh: yea i think it might have been a 4MB millenium, was around 1996/7 [05:51] so how do i make my system boot with 4 hdd's and 3 ctrl cards? [05:51] Raspe: just type 'firefox' or 'totem' for the movie player and press enter [05:51] DrRealHouse: what command should i be running? [05:51] stevemcc: terminal is greyed out as well. going to reboot [05:52] does anyone have a kernel.org replacement suggestion to compile as an emergency 2.6.14 source [05:52] k [05:52] nm, didn't see yourmessage [05:52] domai : gksudo displayconfig-gtk from a terminal [05:52] Bhavesh: three separate controller cards?

[IBM laptop T42] [05:52] calc 1. built in, 2, built in with RAID, and 3, add on [05:52] are the kernel build numbers transferable? [05:53] thank u wishie and everybody - running kde now on my t41 [05:53] bullgard4: lspci | grep IDE [05:53] does anyone know the command line for "sun java 6 runtime" plz? [05:53] !java | genbie [05:53] Bhavesh: it should probably be trying to boot off the built in one [05:53] genbie: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [05:53] genbie: to install it?

[05:54] DrRealHouse: I think that will work, I'll play around with it and get back to you if it doesn't work correctly, thanks [05:54] no i have it already but i wanted to create a short cut for some application that uses it [05:54] java and javaws do not work [05:54] Bhavesh: hmm maybe the add in card is doing something weird to the bios [05:54] calc: "~$ lspci | grep IDE; 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DBM (ICH4-M) IDE Controller (rev 01)" [05:54] i am trying to check but not sure where to start [05:54] domai: remember that the sudo or gksudo is important to have access as root... Good luck [05:54] genbie: oh you may need to change diversions for java [05:54] genbie: it might be pointing to gcj [05:55] aha ok [05:55] is compiz in hardy by default ? [05:55] how can i do that calc? [05:55] genbie: er not diversions, alternatives [05:55] cjones: yes [05:56] cjones, you will need to isntall the proper 3d video card drivers in many cases for it to work properly [05:56] genbie: man update-java-alternatives [05:56] right now i have deskrop effects set in med how do you pick different ones ? [05:57] calc of course this is an old m/b dual PIII [05:57] cjones, you can tweak the settings with the ccsm tool.

[05:58] with 1G of memory and it is SUPPOSED to be my storage server with just over 400G of hdd space [05:58] jpastore, i though by default removeable of a package did NOT remove its dependences since they could be depended on by other packages as well. [05:58] how can I play mame games on ubuntu? :P [05:59] jpastore: dpkg --ignore-depends= [05:59] jpastore, You may want to check out the various apt-get manual/guides [05:59] !apt-get [05:59] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[06:02] calc i think system doesn't like 3 ctrl cards [06:02] Dr_willis, testing now...trying to remove network manager 0.7 ... wifi seems to be such a pain in ubuntu since upgrading to hardy... [06:03] Bhavesh: maybe not [06:03] jpastore, wifi is a pain. :) even under windows i find. [06:03] jpastore, removing network manager... may be a bad idea. :) ive herd bad things can happen if you mess with it. :) [06:03] Dr_willis, I don't seem to have a problem under windows...ever [06:03] My WiFi has worked great under Fedora, Ubuntu, Vista, XP, and PS3 perfectly. PSP is another story. [06:04] jpastore, i would call you lucky then. [06:04] jpastore: don't uninstall it -- simply don't use it. [06:05] DrRealHouse: I wanted to say thank you. You saved my Ubuntu experience as I wanted to drop Windows entirely but couldn't because of the monitor. It's working now so I should be fine. [06:05] i have 2 apache servers if i type in my ip for 1 site what do i have to type in for the other 1 [06:05] I love it when I fire up the microwave and every wireless device hangs up......... [06:05] Dr_willis, I've used many name brand wifi devices and laptops under windows np. network manager is garbage...I liked wicd because it worked...until ipw support was removed in hardy...and replaced with iwl ...no love...network manger disconnects on large file transfers and heavy traffic [06:05] the ip with the port [06:05] tritium, trying to remove 0.7 and go back 0.6.6 [06:05] ip:85 [06:05] anyone know if there are any command line web browsers that are not 100% text? is this possible without a X-server installed? I would like to view a local webserver with as minimal resources as possible [06:06] hey guys, if I run apt-get install php5 but need to add certain parameters to it what do I do? [06:06] tj83: yes [06:06] aii .. [06:06] tj83, lynx and links both had a framebuffer/gui version I recall. [06:06] should I forget the apt-get and just get it from source? [06:06] Hi just tried the PCLinux live CD; compared to Ubuntu 8 live not so great did not recognise hardware well at all! [06:06] tj83, i think there may be another also that can do framebuffer gfx [06:06] jpastore: ipw support was not removed from Hardy. I'm using ipw2200 right now [06:06] tj83: links2 i believe has graphical support, for pictures [06:07] Gillpy, Dr_willis TY will look into them [06:07] calc i think system has issues having 3 controller cards [06:07] tritium, recent 0.7 update caused me to no longer be able to connect to wpa2 networks [06:07] on a wired connection with wicd right now... [06:07] tj83, dont expect any fancy features. :) like flash/java/ect.. of course.. [06:07] tritium, I was told it was and my intel 3945 couldn't use it [06:07] Durst: put sudo in front of it [06:07] jpastore: not sure about 3945, but I'm using WPA2 personal with ipw2200. [06:07] tritium, how to get it back because I prefer to use that instead of iwl since wicd supports it [06:07] no, just monitoring a firewall box Dr_willis [06:08] sudo apt-get install php5 [06:08] and i think you might need [06:08] sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 [06:09] jpastore: get what back? [06:09] Dr_willis: i actually wrote i script to download vids from youtube and automatically buffer and play them with fbdev [06:09] Gillpy, thats sick! :) [06:09] tritium, ipw =) can I ask you to paste bin /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200 ? [06:10] Gillpy, i notced the otehr day that 'mc' would play a video in the console with the aalib stuff so you have ascii-video! :) [06:10] jpastore: there is no such file [06:10] tritium, I just want to compare it to what's going on in my ipw3945 file which looks like it's removing the module [06:10] do you have a ipw* in /etc/modprobe.d ? [06:10] jpastore: no [06:10] weird...ok let me tinker then thanks though [06:11] Dr_willis: heh, you can even do graphics acceleration [06:11] so sudo apt-get install php5 --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/mcrypt would work? [06:11] Dr_willis, hmm you mentioned framebuffer, i'm kinda newb, would this pose a security risk on my firewall with links2? framebuffer overflows? [06:11] i need to compile mcrypt and mhash with it === Jesus is now known as Life === Life is now known as Fenrir [06:11] can apt-get install handle parameters? === Fenrir is now known as Jesus [06:12] trep: not that i know of. only from source can [06:12] thats what I thought, but wasnt sure [06:12] tj83, the framebuffer is a generic way of having graphics on the console. You are thinking of a 'buffer overflow' of memory.. Not the same thing. [06:13] so ive installed just about all php elements from apt-get [06:13] tj83, framebuffer was to be like a replacement for the old 'svga' type graphics from years back [06:13] Dr_willis, ok, just triggered a partial memory, thanks for clearing that up. [06:13] if I want to remove it am I going to screw everything up if I reinstall from source? [06:13] seems like the ubuntu package installs certain things? [06:14] tritium, check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=727043 you sure you are not using iwl in hardy? try doing: lsmod |grep iwl [06:14] like creates directories that are not the default ones [06:14] tj83, Just having a webserver on the firewall.. could be considered more of a security issue i imagine.. [06:14] jpastore: I'm positive [06:15] Dr_willis, well, i'm running Endian stand along for firewall IDS, the interface is web-based, but only to the LAN, (green interface) === hiptobecubic_ is now known as hiptobecubic [06:15] stand alone* [06:16] Dr_willis, i can view from client machines but if i wanted i would like to view local on that box. reason i was asking, appreciate the input. [06:17] tritium, if you do lsmod |grep ipw you get back ipw2200 is loaded? every post I'm seeing online says ipw was replaced with the newer iwl ... I'm sorry to pester you with this but since upgrading hardy my wifi has gone to crap [06:17] jpastore: yes, naturally [06:17] y cant i have 2 computers run apache2 [06:18] jpastore: you don't think I know what module I have loaded? [06:18] how do i view my website on another computer [06:19] tritium, it's not that...it's just I'm having a hard time with the fact that you're saying it's loaded and running when there's a bunch of people complaining that ipw isn't working and most replies are that it's because ipw was replaced with iwl [06:19] Grandslammaster, http://ip.of.other.machine perhaps? [06:19] Grandslammaster, It won't work over the internet unless your ports are forwarded. [06:19] they r [06:19] tritium, which is why I'm looking for confirmation then I'd like to figure how it's possible then I'd like to see if I can replicate and fix my own problems [06:20] how do i figure out the ip [06:20] jpastore: again, keep in mind, it's ipw2200, not ipw3945 [06:20] !webserver [06:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about webserver [06:20] Grandslammaster, on the computer running apache, do ifconfig and get it's local IP [06:20] ifconfig [06:20] anyone know what this quote means: art is a lie that makes us realize the truth [06:21] There is no art [06:21] tritium, I guess that's it...but it seems like ipw* was removed...but maybe I'm not reading this right. [06:21] hola people [06:22] Greetings, sonicblaze [06:22] i thought wireless wasn't a pain in the ass anymore [06:22] ok for some odd reason my laptop is not righting iso's to a disc it is taking 30 or so minutes to do basicly nothing [06:23] when I upgraded it broke my wireless [06:23] writing [06:24] What signals does my IDE controller translate into what signals?

[06:27] no wonder people won't use linux, I didn't have to fix anything for 6 months and now i don't remember anything [06:28] Help!! how do i access the MicroSD of my pocket pc directly from ubuntu? if i dont get help ill use windows, and i want a refund of ubuntu [06:29] php6th: patience, please. No need to repeat. [06:29] so i hope i didnt ruin my chances of asking for help??? :) [06:29] php6th: Wtf? [06:29] Crazytom: Well spoken truth - Did a Vista upgrade from home prem to ultimate on a friends computer took over 3 hours - talk about having to have patience! [06:29] lol you bought ubuntu [06:29] ? [06:30] kcma1: you should probably give more information [06:30] anybody know of any good (and legal) sites for downloading ssdock32.ocx to register in wine? i installed from an msi, so i cant just unpack the file and register ssdock32.ocx straight out... [06:30] Crazyatoom: lol [06:30] annie_g, why would you doo that [06:30] php6th ... ubuntu is free [06:30] hi, is it possible that ubuntu does not boot because of an hard disk? [06:30] php6th i can give you a £0.00 refund if you like [06:30] Crazytom: lol I mean [06:30] php6th, what do you mean you want a refund of Ubuntu? [06:30] Man i have the dreaded broadcom 4306 DX [06:30] I think php6th was trying to make a funny. [06:31] gillpy ok i am trying to burn iso's with ubuntu and the built in app takes about 30 or so minutes to do nothing, i mean it says it is working and says it is done but when i try to boot with the live disc there is still nothing on the disc... [06:31] it's hard to tell [06:31] Crazytom: it was for a friend that won't listen about how great linux is - oh well their missing out. Some people just don't get it.... [06:31] sonicblaze, dreaded? it used to just work [06:31] Anyone know a good program for converting any type of cd image into a standard ISO so I can mount it? [06:32] I've noticed some big difference on the performance of the Intel X3100 driver on Windows and on Ubuntu Hardy and its current driver version. Is this expected on the current driver status or do you think I'm having some kind of problem specific to my configuration? [06:32] kcma1: you sure there is nothing on it [06:32] annie_g, i just upgraded my laptop to 8.04, whatever that is, now. I haven't had to fork with it for so long I forgot what a terminal is [06:32] rustychicken have you tried googling the file name? thats what I usually do if i need a file like that [06:32] gillpy for the most part i reload the disc in this machine and it says nothing i guess i could use my other machine to check [06:33] Theaxiom: Did you try some searches on google yet? [06:33] i need the file so fwcutter can unpack it [06:33] hi, is it possible that ubuntu does not boot because of an hard disk? [06:33] annie_g: I am trying [06:33] i used to be good at this [06:33] annie_g: I figured someone here had run into the problem before [06:33] anyone know what would cause my computer not to POST unless i take the cmos battery out each time i boot? [06:33] kcma1: maybe try different burning app? [06:33] TurboBee: i have, i just dont know anything about the download sites, and i dont want to trust just anybody... heh, kind of funny that ive forgotten what sites are good because i havent done this hunting-for-files stuff in a while... :-D [06:34] ata7.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x100) [06:34] Crazytom: Know what you mean. You turn it on and it just runs & runs - sweet huh? [06:34] gillpy i have the nero for linux but that doesnt seem to work is there an app that will check my disc drive to see if it is working [06:34] rustychicken well the nice part about runing wine is that you don't have to worry about it infecting the rest of your computer ;) [06:34] rustychicken imo most sites are trust worthy [06:34] just do a quick virus scan on the file [06:34] using clamva [06:34] clamav [06:34] annie_g, except now it's NOT running [06:35] !burn | kcma1 not that i know of, but try these [06:35] kcma1 not that i know of, but try these: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [06:35] TurboBee: true, but i am building an image that will be cloned to about 40 computers, so i dont want to screw it up... [06:35] Theaxiom: Will try doing a little research myself - That would be nice to have an app that would make ISO's. [06:35] Hey guys [06:35] TurboBee: thx [06:35] What signals does my IDE controller translate into what signals? [06:35] qoncept have you checked your cmos jumper to make sure its not on reset? [06:35] annie_g: Cool thanks, if I come across something, I will let you know. I would run ISOBuster in wine, but it is not free. [06:35] I am having trouble playing a quicktime file in firefox (*.mov) -- it says "download quicktime" in the box -- I have mozilla-mplayer installed, is there something else I need?

Just a thought. [06:40] hey guys, just a simple question, the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu is just the desktop environment right??? [06:40] ubottu merci THX :) [06:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about merci thx :) [06:42] birgi, basically, yes. And the default package selection I'm sure, but you can still install/uninstall whatever you like. [06:43] gillpy ok the ubuntu steps on the link that you sent me are what i have been doing save using the lowest speed, now i am retrying the slowest speed.... [06:43] trojatra: thanks, i just have some hardware-related problems about xubuntu. i was wondering if switching to ubuntu may or may not fix those [06:43] gd1 is the kernel a default kernel or is it something you configured yourself? === Daisuke_Laptop is now known as Daisuke_Ido [06:44] Theaxiom: Did you find anything yet? Here is one way to do it using Terminal - it's not an appt. but mike work in a bind. - LINK: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/make_iso_images_on_linux/ [06:44] birgi, I would probably say not, Xubuntu is typically a very good hardware distro. [06:44] birgi, what is the issue? [06:44] annie_g: bin to iso with no cue file: http://linuxexpert.wordpress.com/2007/08/25/how-to-convert-bin-to-iso-image-whithout-having-cue-file/ [06:44] anyone in here ever used crunchbang [06:46] Theaxiom: that looks promising - still would be nice to have a GUI app to get it done too. [06:46] annie_g: sudo apt-get install gisomount - to mount ISO's [06:47] trojatra: actually there are several problems: 1. when using a usb-hub and connecting several devices to that i lost all the usb support, 2. when i plug in my headset both the front speakers and the headset continues on having sound, 3. my new logitech clearchat confort usb headset does not work :) [06:48] annie_g: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion [06:48] birgi, do the devices work connected straight to the computer, bypassing the hub? [06:49] what do i type in the terminal to edit grub? [06:49] ASrock: you mean the grub menu file menu.lst? [06:50] trojatra: yes, these devices are keyboard, mouse and a usb thumb drive. when keyboard and mouse are connected to the hub and i connect the thumb drive in *another* usb or in the same hub, everything messes up. [06:50] pajamian: yes [06:50] i know its gedit then im not sure of the directory where menu.lst is located [06:50] ASrock: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:50] trojatra: when keyboard and mouse are separated, and then i connect the thumb drive, there are no problems at all [06:50] pajamian: thanks [06:50] How do I restart pulseadio? I'm having a weird sound issue and I want to see if restart it fixes it. [06:51] ASrock: yw [06:51] birgi, huh. Can you get your hands on USB-to-PS/2 connectors? [06:51] hey how do you make nautilus the default folder opening application for the panel [06:51] Theaxiom: Did install of gisomount - could not find in apps menu - need to use "alt + F2" to run? [06:52] I've noticed some big difference on the performance of the Intel X3100 driver on Windows and on Ubuntu Hardy and its current driver version. Is this expected on the current driver status or do you think I'm having some kind of problem specific to my configuration? [06:52] type sudo gisomount [06:52] when i try to open any of the folders in my places from the panel they wont open, it gives me an error [06:52] annie_g: ^ [06:52] annie_g, try right-clicking the Applications menu up top and select edit menus and look for it. If not use Alt+F2 and type "gksudo gisomount" [06:52] Theaxiom: ok - got it. Thx [06:52] trojatra: not right away, but when i use a usb-to-ps/2 converter then i need two more ps/2-to-usb converters :) [06:53] What signals does my IDE controller translate into what signals? [06:53] birgi, what do you mean? [06:53] trojatra: my mouse and keyboard are usb [06:53] trojatra: and my notebook does not have ps/2 ports [06:53] birgi, ah, okay I thought it was a PC. [06:54] birgi, so you can either have mouse+keyboard plugged in OR the drive? (and it works) [06:55] trojatra: i have 3 usb ports, when they are all in different ports everything works, when mouse+keyboard are plugged in the same hub, then plugging the thumb drive anywhere crashes the usb subsystem [06:56] birgi, why use the hub then? [06:56] trojatra: oh two reasons: 1. not so long keyboard and mouse cords, 2. additional usb devices... [06:57] does ubuntu updatee microcode on the fly? ( e8400 cpu ) [06:58] trojatra: Could find that little puppy anywhere - I mean no where in Apps Menu - Edit - But it did run using Alt/F2 [06:58] birgi, well the only thing I can think of is 1. get new keyboard/mouse with longer cords 2. get extensions for your keyboard and mouse cords 3. try a new thumbdrive 4. but if you don't want to spend money, just have your thumbdrive plugged in when you need it and then switch it out for other stuff [06:59] annie_g, some items don't appear in the menu on their own (even hidden). You can add it using the Menu Editor that you used to look for it though. [07:00] birgi: have you tried a different brand of hub (ie borrowed one from a friend, etc)? What happens when the keyboard and mouse are plugged into seperate USB ports and the hub into the third port with additional devices? [07:00] this is driving me up the wall - I can't find a program to playback or convert a .qcp file to another audio format. [07:00] Gnea: what format is .qcp? I never heard of it. [07:00] Does wine already come with directx? [07:00] pajamian: ringtone [07:01] trojatra: ok :)... pajamian: nope, but I can try it in a few days, about the second part let me try :) [07:01] Theaxiom: doubt it. [07:01] Gnea: I was under the impression that most ringtones were midi files. [07:01] wishie: I will install it, thanks. [07:01] pajamian: it's actually a recording [07:02] pajamian: well, most phones these days have a function that allows them to record sound - this one just happens to use .qcp as the final recording output [07:02] I think Wine is just emulates Open GL as DirectX. [07:02] Theaxiom: I came across this ame problem of looking for an app that would be easy to use and be able to manage ISO's easily about 6 or 7 months ago - but your original question of a good conversion program has got me goin again.... If find something and c-you later in the forum will let ya know..... [07:02] same [07:02] annie_g: thanks [07:02] conversion app for iso ? from/to what format ? [07:03] I am installing hitman contracts via wine, and I go to umount the disk so I can mount the second disk, and it says device busy... [07:03] Gnea: one min ... [07:03] Should I create anotehr mount point to mount the second cd? [07:03] gday gday [07:03] pajamian: thumb drive and mouse on the same hub, keyboard on a different port works perfectly [07:03] birgi: that may be your best solution, then. [07:03] birgi, that's weird, heh. Well leave it like that then :P [07:03] does ubuntu update the microcode of c2d cpus automatically at boot, by default? [07:04] birgi: is the hub powered? [07:04] hey can ubuntu read cd? [07:04] pajamian: trojatra: :), heh ok thanks guys [07:04] itachi: of course [07:04] Nevermind, I got it by mounting the second cd on top of the first one, hah [07:04] cuz i was just on it right now nd i went to install my usb apdater driver [07:04] bu it didtn let me [07:04] Gnea: nope, it gets power from the usb port of the notebook [07:05] itachi: yes [07:05] Theaxiom: I have backed up my original new CD's to ISO's for years using MagicISO or WinISO using windows. But using Linux most all the time now - would like to totally break-away from windows all together if you know what I mean. [07:05] birgi: maybe that's your problem, if the keyboard and mouse are pulling too much power for the one USB port to handle. [07:05] no i dont do nothin whenb i click auto run [07:05] annie_g: You can rip any cd to iso in linux using dd [07:05] pajamian: i see, maybe [07:05] annie_g: you realise you can mount them from the cmd line ? [07:06] annie_g: there are also plenty of conversion utils for bin/cue/mdf/nrg etc, to iso [07:06] how do i make it run the autorun.exe? in the cd [07:06] birgi: usb hubs only get so much current from the PC. mice sometimes require a few extra volts that only a port on the PC itself can supply. your best bet is to find a AC adapter for the hub, or just plug the mouse and thumb drive (especially!) directly to the PC. [07:06] ??? [07:06] wishie: no - have done enough comm line yet - need to - allot cleaner way of doing things. [07:07] itachi: wine [07:07] !wine | itachi [07:07] itachi: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [07:07] annie_g: mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/whatever [07:07] wishie: which one's do you reccomend? [07:07] How do I find out what the PID for wine is? I was installing a game, and I clicked ok to restart windows, and it locked up... :/ [07:07] Theaxiom: pgrep wine [07:07] Gnea: ok thank you very much, i'll try that [07:07] tritium: thanks [07:07] how do you format a U3 drive completely? [07:07] thansen|laptop: ps axf | grep wine [07:07] annie_g: conversion programs ? all cmd line, but as simple as 'mdf2iso whatever.mdf whatever.iso' [07:07] like a sandisk with u3 [07:08] how do you format a U3 drive completely? [07:08] Theaxiom: ps axf | grep wine [07:08] KrispyCreme, you may want to do some googling on that topic.. last i looked.. in some cases you couldent. [07:08] KrispyCreme, it may depend on the exact stick. I recall some hacks/tools for windows that could do some tricks with them. === [ID]-8997 is now known as GeOrGeZl [07:08] annie_g: for a list of conversion apps in ubuntu itself.. apt-cache search 2iso [07:08] it's a sandisk cruzer 2 gb [07:09] KrispyCreme, i looked this up last year for a friend at work :) after that.. we both decided that u3=not going to buy it. [07:09] annie_g: there is also 'bchunk' which is for bin/cue to iso [07:09] wishie: you said their are plenty of conversion utilities - I was asking which one's you like? [07:09] Gnea: have you tried this: http://www.mp3-converter.biz/players/QCP Player.html [07:09] well, each is for a different format, annie_g :) [07:10] annie_g: for example, nrg2iso is for Nero .nrg to .iso conversion [07:10] wishie: mostly would like to do .bin to .iso [07:10] ok [07:10] bin is 'bchunk' i think [07:10] annie_g: do you have the cue file ? [07:11] wishie: ok - gives me real starting point - thx === ted_ is now known as tedAU [07:11] when will pidgin 2.5 appear in hardy? it's been released already a week ag [07:11] i got my Drivers/kernel modules loaded its is all there in iwconfig and ifconfig iwlist wlan0 scan returns an accesspoint yet still i get no connection. can anyone help me? [07:11] pajamian: they want $15 :P [07:11] Gnea: pajamian: trojatra: just a new improvement, once again i lost my usb subsystem after sometime with the following error in dmesg:``hub 6-2:1.0: cannot reset port 4'' [07:11] annie_g: bchunk image.bin image.cue whatever <-- will produce whatever01.iso [07:11] wishie: some I see are cue - but mostly bin [07:11] msingh: it'll be in intrepid [07:11] Gnea: oh well, I didn't look that closely, just found it in google. [07:11] where can i download wine [07:12] birgi: yeah, it means the port isn't able to provide enough power to the device [07:12] birgi, I'm new to USB hubs, what's that mean? It doesn't work anymore? [07:12] pajamian: thanks tho :) [07:12] !wine | itachi [07:12] Gnea: heh ok thanks [07:12] itachi: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [07:12] birgi: looks like you'll want a powered hub for that, then. [07:12] Where does wine keep it's program files by default? [07:12] i got my Drivers/kernel modules loaded its is all there in iwconfig and ifconfig iwlist wlan0 scan returns an accesspoint yet still i get no connection. can anyone help me? [07:12] trojatra: yep everything connected to all usb ports stop working [07:12] pajamian: yep, thanks again [07:12] Theaxiom: ~/.wine [07:13] tritium: i dont wanna mess up my system by switching to a whole new distro :/ [07:13] pajamian: thanks [07:13] msingh: I didn't tell you to. [07:13] sudo apt-get install wine [07:13] pajamian: might have found something.. [07:13] Theaxiom: you can override that by setting the WINEPREFIX environment variable. I personally like the practice of setting it to something different for each windows program I install so they don't clash. [07:14] tritium: fine [07:14] msingh: FYI, intrepid is still ubuntu (same distro, newer release) [07:14] damn, lightscribe takes _forever_ to 'burn' [07:14] pajamian: thanks very much [07:14] birgi, I'm going to agree with whomever said it earlier, I think since your usb hub draws all of its power from your laptop it might "short" [07:14] !interpid | msingh [07:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about interpid [07:14] i got my Drivers/kernel modules loaded its is all there in iwconfig and ifconfig iwlist wlan0 scan returns an accesspoint yet still i get no connection. can anyone help me? [07:15] !ibex | msingh [07:15] msingh: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! [07:15] wishie: so I will save this session to read latter - did you give info using terminal to make an .iso image of any CD in the CD-rom drive? If so didn't catch it.... [07:15] pajamian: heh, i just got one to install and run - as soon as it comes up, all of the buttons/menus in the app don't respond and i can't kill wine from the gui haha! [07:15] open network or key protected [07:15] me? [07:15] y [07:15] annie_g: no, i didnt.. you want cmdline for that ? or gui ? [07:15] Gnea: heh, you can kill it from the terminal at least? [07:15] linuxgirl:Open [07:16] specify the ssid [07:16] wishie: would prefer a gui - but not afraid of getting hands dirty a little and using terminal... [07:16] linksys [07:17] Gnea: I take it this is a windows program to convert .qcp to .wav? [07:17] killall work well for me when something acts up. [07:17] pajamian: easily. it looks like something else was in its place. [07:17] annie_g: ok, i use a KD app for this.. k3b. im sure there is a gnome equiv though [07:17] did you tell linux that? [07:17] KDE* [07:17] pajamian: yeah, supposedly it does more than just .wav [07:17] linuxgirl:ya [07:17] annie_g: might want to look into cdrecord and mkisofs though [07:17] Gnea: I would see if it has a .dll codec file with it, if it does you can probably use the codec with mplayer. [07:18] Dr_willis: just because it has u3? why? [07:18] pajamian: hrm hrm hrm.... good idea [07:18] why does java keep crashing on me when im programming on eclipse? [07:18] wishie: using Gnome as of now - have K3b installed but was not aware of being able to make .iso with it. [07:18] UnderOath: I forget. At the time i had an atheros chipset and it needed something funny to get going [07:18] KrispyCreme, some how the u3 stuff partitions the thumbdrive into a 'usb cdrom' and a usb-hard drive.. we coudlent figure out how to 'merge' the 2 together. [07:19] linuxgrl:I have an atheros as well [07:19] KrispyCreme, you couldent just fdisk the thing. (there may be hacks to do it now) [07:19] Hi, I am about to remove some bans this will cause some scrolling [07:19] wishie: know of a command line to get this done as well? [07:19] UnderOath: I assume you have the atheros driver going [07:19] ompaul: remove bans? lol [07:19] Please hold tight for a moment [07:19] what did they do? [07:20] linuxgirl:Yes I have it all installed the access point is seen by my computer but it just won't connect [07:20] yeeehaw!! [07:20] annie_g: cdrecord and mkisofs most likely.. ill look into it more [07:20] done [07:20] wishie: thx so much [07:20] hmm [07:20] i think a simple dd will do it.. [07:20] pajamian: ok, making progress :D [07:20] why does java keep crashing on me when im programming on eclipse? [07:20] Gnea: cool :-) [07:21] Dr_willis: but do you think u3 has its upsides? [07:21] hi everyone [07:21] annie_g: you can! you can just use dd! awesome [07:21] !hi | MOZHU [07:21] MOZHU: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:21] haha ,thank you [07:22] pajamian: ugh, this one is a demo version - and it will only convert *to* QCP [07:22] mozhu: were you banned? [07:22] wishie: dd! - sorry - not following ..... [07:22] Gnea: yuk, and it doesn't have the right codec with it then either, I take it? [07:22] madwifi? [07:22] NO [07:23] annie_g: sudo dd if=/dev/scd0 of=whatever.iso <-- replace /dev/scd0 will your cdrom device [07:23] YA [07:23] pajamian: it *does* have a couple....... [07:23] KrispyCreme, from a Linux users point of view.. I see no upsides to U3. [07:23] KrispyCreme, and with the portableapps.com stuff for windows.. I dont see much need for it for windows users either. :) [07:23] Gnea: well, y never know, just because the program is crippled doesn't mean the codecs are. [07:23] what distro do you use? [07:23] I'm a newcomer === greguniverse is now known as greg_universe [07:24] pajamian: yeah, now if i can just remember where they're typically stored... [07:24] Gnea: hehehe, yeah I know what you mean. [07:24] dr_willis: that is cool. I've seen that page back in the day, but never found it. thanks [07:25] not sure. could be a bunch of things. [07:25] wishie: a good command line that gives me list of my hardware devices would BE? [07:25] Gnea: /usr/lib/codecs/ [07:25] annie_g, devices connected to what usb or pci devies? [07:26] annie_g: lshw [07:26] Gnea: likely other locations as well, that's just where the w32codecs package installs them.

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+) [07:53] any way to solve it? [07:53] how can I make sure that DBUS and HAL daemons are running? [07:53] or how to start them [07:53] can you set the routing tables to use a particular device for a particular domain or does it have to use ip addy? [07:53] Hey I am trying to use skype, how do I get my mic to work? [07:53] Uriens: you'd just use it on that particular virtual host, yeah. [07:53] I can hear them, but they can't hear me. [07:53] ok what program do i asos with trem.run? [07:53] anyone here help me i am having trouble with the right click "write to disc" command for some reason it is taking 40 minutes to do nothing with the disc [07:53] hiptobecubic: domains are controlled via dns [07:53] I also know what is LAMP :P and before asking here i have done googling and so on [07:53] Uriens: Either by binding virtual hosts to a port, or otherwise. [07:53] pp6: sh ./trem.run [07:53] Gnea, .... go on? [07:54] sh is some command? [07:54] hiptobecubic: it has to use the ip addy, routing only routes IP [07:54] or folder? [07:54] Theaxiom: last time I tried, Skype hates Pulseaudio [07:54] linuxgirl:Yes I have it all installed the access point is seen by my computer but it just won't connect [07:54] Flannel: binding, you mean using a diferent port for each domain? [07:54] i got my Drivers/kernel modules loaded its is all there in iwconfig and ifconfig iwlist wlan0 scan returns an accesspoint yet still i get no connection. can anyone help me? [07:54] pp6: you type this: sh ./trem.run [07:54] Tarandus: So what do I do? How do I configure my mic? [07:54] Hi [07:54] Tarandus: He says he hears static. [07:55] Gnea, so is there a way to make it access a domain... say.... yahoo with only one interface and not the default? [07:55] Uriens: https runs on port 443 while http runs on port 80. so.. technically yes, different ports, but not in the way it sounds. [07:55] hiptobecubic: as i said, routing takes care of setting the IP up, the domain-to-IP glue is handled by dns. [07:55] Theaxiom: I got rid of Pulseaudio altogether [07:55] my ubuntu is shutting down but my pc can't shutdown, wallpaper is staying on my screen and pc is still working [07:55] what can i do [07:55] this is a desktop [07:55] Tarandus: How do I do that?

[07:56] linuxgrl:Its cool everyone has been stumped today [07:56] Gnea, so ... no? [07:56] Theaxiom: the question is, what to disable / uninstall... I had quite a fight doing that, but can't remember much now... also, this is a Feisty system with no default Pulseaudio [07:56] pp6: obviously, the real name of the .run file. [07:56] pp6, dont spread stuff on so many lines... and use the proper CASE senestive name :) [07:56] Tarandus: Thanks. [07:56] yes, i have done this for port 80 and works fine [07:56] pp6, be sure you are in the correct directory also [07:56] Uriens: so, you won't be able to view those sites with https then. [07:57] exactly [07:57] hiptobecubic: you need to read this: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html [07:57] i only wan to enable SSL for one host [07:57] Uriens: Isn't that what you were trying to accomplish? [07:57] Gnea, thanks [07:57] wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap [07:57] where can i get flash player (download) [07:57] THX: alright desktop tremoulous.run.. [07:57] yes, it is what i'm trying [07:57] itachi - off the internet [07:57] hi [07:57] but after trying some things, i have no luck with it [07:58] Theaxiom: Try disabling everything related to it (easy doing it if you have the Pulseaudio menulet on your menubar), then killing all processes with a name beginning with 'pa' [07:58] linuxgrl, what do u mean [07:58] Uriens: er... you just said it was working. [07:58] isnt working [07:58] linuxgrl: ... [07:58] linuxgrl:did you want me to try"ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap" [07:58] thats where you can download it from. [07:58] yes of course, it is working, both http and https [07:58] Uriens: no, if you've bound those other virtualhosts to only port 80, they won't work with 443 (https) [07:59] keyboard layout switcher says Trk but my keyboard layout is US. how come? [07:59] Do any of you have any experience with nForce Ultra570's fakeraid? [07:59] the only problem is that when somebody goes to https://domain2 it shows the information of https://domain1, and i want to disable https for domain2 [07:59] when i shutdown my pc, my wallpaper is staying on screen and doesn't shutdown pc [07:59] UO- it depends. there should be something similar i think. see http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_MadWifi_Install for something similar [07:59] fans are still working but no desktop on screen, just wallpaper [07:59] Uriens: So, your problem is just with general virtual host disambiguation. You might find more help with that in #apache [07:59] http://trem.tjw.org/backport/ woot::thx:: [08:00] xubi: are you sure you have a desktop and not a server version? [08:00] yeap [08:00] desktop installation cd [08:00] i install with it [08:00] xubi: what graphics card? [08:01] nvidia fx 5200 [08:01] i have some card no problems [08:01] i updated my ubuntu [08:01] then this problem be [08:02] reupdate [08:02] is it fix ? [08:02] Flannel, let's talk with you in private mode [08:02] where is the shutdown log kept? anyone? [08:02] xubi: you could try updating it maybe there's an incomplete install? [08:03] how can i re update ? [08:03] command ? [08:03] where can i download flash player for ubuntu [08:03] sudo apt-get update [08:03] !flash | itachi [08:04] itachi: 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 [08:05] what that ! thing and how do i learn more about it [08:05] linuxgirl:Yes I have it all installed the access point is seen by my computer but it just won't connect [08:05] Hi, I seem to be having a slight problem with bittorrent on hardy. I have a 1mbit upload but it seems on Transmission and rtorrent if I don't cap upload at 10kb/s it kills my connection. Any ideas what could be the reason? [08:05] i understand. [08:05] Sorry didn't mean to do that [08:05] xubi: I don't have the command onhand, sorry [08:05] lol my bad I was talking in another channel and this window popped up [08:06] thnks [08:06] in on torrent 3hr42min in on a metallica's live@ozfest [08:07] 35k/s :( [08:08] ubottu: tell linuxgrl about yourself [08:08] linuxgrl, please see my private message [08:08] thanks for the hookup qt [08:09] rampageoberon: if you're using wireless you will be getting too many connections for it to handle [08:10] anyone know the command to repair a broken install? I lost the paper I had it written down on [08:10] linuxgrl: afaik there is no extra log for shutdown. parts of the shutdown process will be logged in /var/log/syslog [08:10] favro: I'm not on wireless, I've limited the max connections to 60 and only 5 upload slots, do those look okay? [08:11] Saiki, sudo apt-get install -f [08:11] Saiki, broken install of what? [08:12] there ya go xubi [08:12] Saiki: just reinstall it again. [08:12] rampageoberon: What ISP? [08:12] if its bad it *should* correct itself. [08:12] 02 bloadband (UK) [08:12] rampageoberon: They may block torrenting. You may want to enable encryption. [08:12] hai............. [08:12] rampageoberon: Try encryption. [08:12] thanks im tryin [08:12] rampageoberon: And try changing ports. [08:13] rampageoberon: or a port above 10000 [08:13] MrObvious: Encryption is enabled and using port 56000, tried changing it but same result [08:13] rampageoberon: best to torrent on DMZ [08:13] rampageoberon: What kind of router? [08:13] MrObvious: is that the way to get through the torrenting throttling? [08:13] Expl0ited: Generally. [08:13] -less -ing #1 [08:13] MrObvious: its a Thompson router (not particularly good i think) [08:14] The thing with torrenting is your router needs a lot of RAM and you have to have a good solid port to upload from your ISP and download. [08:14] HI [08:14] Like me, my ISP (AT&T) doesn't block it, and I DMZ my DSL modem to my Linksys WRT54G which I put DD-WRT on. I don't have any problems. [08:14] Saiki: I wouldn't agree with the DMZ option. No point opening up everything in your router I think [08:15] rampageoberon: Try looking for a new router that can run DD-WRT. [08:15] rampageoberon: well, that's what I do, less of a headache imo [08:15] rampageoberon: I've been very happy with my Linksys. [08:15] Cant say that ive ever had to set up DMZ for my torrents either. [08:15] Saiki: No need. [08:15] I got a cheap Linksys 'mini' router. Need to get a new one some day. [08:15] I'm using a linksys dongle lol [08:15] Really it is a security hole. I would just use one single port and close it when you aren't torrenting. [08:15] Hi, Under Ubuntu Hardy, I'm trying to get PHP5 working within an Apache2 Virtual Host. Anyone know of the magic involved? [08:15] MrObvious: Ah, okay will try that. Its a free router I got so probably is crap. Although I have uploaded on dc++ at full speed but guess its a single conneciton [08:15] Right. [08:16] exit [08:16] You are only uploading packets to one single IP address, which isn't hard for the router's memory to keep track of. [08:16] But when you get multiple IP addresses the RAM gets saturated fast. [08:16] MrObvious: Oh ok, will try check it with a new router [08:16] It's like on a computer, when you run out of RAM (assuming no swap or it's full) your computer locks up. [08:16] MrObvious: not a big problem with me... my router has 512MB of ram :D [08:17] rampageoberon: My suggestion is anything Linksys that you can flash DD-WRT on for cheap. An example is the WRT54G like what I got. [08:17] Expl0ited: Haha. [08:17] Networking is the one area I specialize in. [08:17] MrObvious: Cool thanks for the suggestion [08:18] MrObvious: using an old box I had laying around for a router was better than buying a new crap job from the store. [08:18] MrObvious: Hmm, would you be able to help with traffic control? [08:18] Expl0ited: I run Linux on my store bought router. xD [08:19] rampageoberon: Depends. Shoot. [08:19] Haha I'm sorry this is off topic but Lil Wayne has a weird fetish with female cops. Hehe. [08:20] MrObvious: my store bought router the netgear WPN804 HATES my iwl3964 wireless driver so much it can even figure out what the computer is sending it. [08:20] MrObvious: Well I wanted to set up a traffic shaping script that would differentiate between LAN and external ip's and limit the speeds accordingly. [08:20] MrObvious: So I'm thinking of using iptables to mark packets accordingly and then stick them down the corresponding qdiscs [08:21] rampageoberon: Now see my expertise stops right at programming. The most I ever did was Visual Basic 6. Heh. If you get a decent router with DD-WRT you can use QOS which is very nice. [08:21] and causes a kernel panic 3 times a second constantly. [08:21] I'm having a problem with postfix, I got the www-data file, with emails and postfix don't send them, why?, mail.log mail.err mail.info doesn't say anything :( [08:21] and writes a error to 3 logs each of 3 times a second. a HUGE lag. [08:21] MrObvious: Ah okay, thank you very much though :) [08:21] Expl0ited: kernel panic 3 times a second? then it is no panic [08:22] Expl0ited: you mean kernel oops? [08:22] rampageoberon: Your life will improve much with a DD-WRT capable router. :) [08:22] Your'e welcome. [08:22] !lamp [08:22] 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+) [08:22] MrObvious: yep going to replace my current router [08:22] rtz3736: I can show you logs... 155 thousand errors written in one session. [08:22] Expl0ited: a kernel panic would stop your system altogether [08:23] ubottu: I thought lamp was also a light providing device. :p [08:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:23] well kernel level error. [08:23] whatever the case. [08:23] Expl0ited: then don't say it's a kernel panic [08:23] do i need to apt-get apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server for herdy too? on the web page it says it's for dapper drake [08:23] rtz3736: whatever. you go any other problems with what I said. [08:24] Expl0ited: i guess it is "CTS protection enabled" / "CTS protection disabled"? [08:24] rtz3736: its a bug pure and simple. [08:24] how do i install an encrypted ubuntu to my hard drive so that everything is encrypted [08:24] Expl0ited: never saw that from the iwl3945 driver [08:25] rtz3736: its not the driver, its the router. [08:25] and its a bug only with this router. [08:25] Expl0ited: oh okay [08:25] and that driver. [08:25] Expl0ited: i thought it would trigger a kernel bug on the client side [08:26] the router sends empty packets to the system 3 times a second. causeing an error, which is writing to each of three syslogs. [08:26] every three seconds. [08:26] Expl0ited: btw, do you mean iwl3945 or iwl4965? you said iwl3964 (which is non-existent) [08:27] hi [08:27] !hi | crs [08:27] crs: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:27] the "patch" is upstream but its only a patch that prevent the bug from to writing to the syslogs... i.e. not a fix. [08:27] how do i install an encrypted ubuntu to my hard drive so that everything is encrypted [08:27] Expl0ited: hehe, nice "patch" [08:28] lol [08:28] I know, it sucks [08:28] Im not gonna buy a new router over it. [08:28] Expl0ited: btw, do you mean iwl3945 or iwl4965? you said iwl3964 (which is non-existent) [08:28] whatever it is... iwl3945 [08:28] Expl0ited: okay [08:29] computer: IDK. Truecrypt does it for Windows but not Linux. :( [08:33] truecrypt works in linux [08:33] Hi [08:33] http://www.howtoforge.com/encrypting-the-system-manually-upon-installation-ubuntu8.04 [08:34] ubald: I am how'd you know? [08:34] lol damn he left. [08:34] hi everyone [08:38] is there a way to install an encrypted copy of ubuntu on my pc? [08:38] read the link i posted [08:40] any votes on nVidia fakeraid vs. kernel software RAID? [08:40] kernel raid FTW! [08:40] computer, you can encrypt your hard disk, however I strongly recommend you don't, forget your password or some such and you are in trouble, there is no way around it. You choose to encrypt at install time. [08:41] computer: why is it sooooo important that you encryt everything anyway, just encrypt the files you need to encrypt. [08:41] any software raid is fakeraid or were you just meaning between the 2 fakeraids which one is better [08:41] my school blocks ports, and i'm unable to use irc. i have setup an ssh server on a xubuntu pc. how would i go about connecting to it/forward ports etc? thank you in advance for any help [08:41] and since you dont know how to.... another reason why you shouldnt encrypt [08:42] RoshanK, we cant help with that [08:42] skillet__: kernel raids are better as its easier to setup, less stress on the system if its kernel level [08:42] they blocked the ports for a reason [08:42] Expl0ited, i agree... faster that way too [08:43] skillet_: they blocked ports so that students don't use p2p apps. i simply want to get on irc channels. i tried those web aps and chatzilla and am still unable to. [08:43] RoshanK, we are not going to get you expelled and maybe even depending on the location break the law [08:43] skillet__: plus you get better logging if something goes wrong. [08:43] ompaul: ok [08:43] yea what he said === skillet__ is now known as skillet [08:43] so there is an option when i install ubuntu to encrypt? [08:44] read the freaking link i posted! [08:44] http://www.howtoforge.com/encrypting-the-system-manually-upon-installation-ubuntu8.04 [08:44] thanks [08:44] computer, if you are foolish enough to choose it yes - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto [08:45] skillet: so kernel RAID or nvidia RAID? [08:45] computer, I strongly suggest you do a couple of installs first so you are comfortable with the "normal operation" then do an "encrypted install" so you have some idea of what normal feels like [08:45] i agreed with you earlier about kernel raid [08:46] ompaul: is ther any support for encryted installs? [08:46] Expl0ited, not from me there is not ;-) seriously if you don't know what you are dabbling with then you should not go playing in that place you ___will___ loose data [08:47] Expl0ited, we see it here time and again when people do it [08:47] ompaul: I realize that, just reinforcing the "bad idea" aspect of it if you don't know what your doing. [08:48] ompaul: unless you do it STRICTLY for testing purposes.. you know.. to learn... see what it is like etc.. [08:48] djhash, and I still won't support you doing that ;-) [08:48] djhash, anything goes wrong with the disk and you are stuffed [08:49] fyi i have used encrypted root and swap for years and it works great as long as you have some spare cpu [08:49] anyone here uses Netbeans? [08:49] and it is easy now [08:49] ompaul: ofcourse there will be no support.. that is in the YAOYO (you are on your own) territory.. [08:49] djhash, , mounted on wood and hung over a door [08:49] have backups ;@ [08:49] ejer, I was about to say that [08:50] !anyone | dek [08:50] dek: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:50] ejer, and are they too encrypted and can you access them without the primary device and if so are they secure, and if so what exactly were you trying to protect etc (no you don't need to answer ;-)) [08:50] how do I see the command Netbeans uses for compiling applications? (so I could copy it and feed javac myself) [08:51] dek, I would ask in some java room this place is for ubuntu technical support [08:51] hello [08:51] ompaul: ok [08:51] why won't the output be saved in the test.log file when using "rhythmbox -d > test.log"? [08:51] dek try #java [08:52] i am having the prob with my ntfs , when i installed my linux my win drive partation is currupted and i cannot acces my ntfs files [08:52] is dere any way i can restor my ntfs data [08:52] xintron: do you have write priv. on that folder? [08:52] hey Flannel [08:52] gaurav, that was a bad call you should use windows to recover windows partitions [08:52] djhash: yes, it's on my homw folder [08:52] back from work...what do we need to do to fix the web stuff? [08:53] but dear i wnt have any other system [08:53] gaurav, you risk all data if you force it from ubuntu [08:53] can i know how to install the exe files or to run these setups as i am new [08:53] <_coredump_> gaurav, you can try ntfsfix or testdisk [08:54] hallo [08:54] man ubuntu channels are getting as bad as windows channels [08:54] i got heard about DiskExplorer for NTFS V3.41 [08:55] xintron: hmm. interesting.. could be something about stdout and console.. but i dunno [08:56] how to excute exe files in linux [08:56] Can somebody help me with an issue involving repositories? [08:56] <_coredump_> gaurav, with wine programm.exe [08:57] how to get wine [08:57] ompaul: its not like the windows utilities are any better. ive never had them work in my experience... [08:57] <_coredump_> sudo apt-get install wine [08:57] I can't access any of them because apparently my network connection is doing something with proxies [08:57] !software > gaurav [08:57] gaurav, please see my private message [08:57] !wine [08:57] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [08:59] Anybody? [08:59] Flannel [08:59] so for some odd reason neither of my ubuntu machines will write an iso using the right click feature? after about 40 min the disc is spit out as if something was done but when reinserted it is still seen as blank [08:59] what does System > Preferences > Proxy (or something like that) look like? [08:59] can anybody tell me about the photoshop for linux [08:59] hi [08:59] guarav: do you mean the GIMP? [08:59] lars_: saying anybody is pointless, if someone didn't see the question "anyone?" doesn't tell them the question, if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone?" won't make them known the answer [09:00] lars_: "is doing something with proxies" is not a very exact description [09:00] whats up guys, whats a good virus/spyware scanner/healer for ubuntu i want to check a ntfs partition??? [09:00] !clamav [09:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav [09:00] how to install vnc [09:00] !info clamav | sunuvsamm [09:00] sunuvsamm: clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.92.1~dfsg2-1.1ubuntu0.2 (hardy), package size 873 kB, installed size 1336 kB [09:00] <__richard> apt-get install vlc [09:00] sunuvsamm: checking 3rd party disks isn't "fool proof" especially on ntfs [09:00] __richard: he said vnc [09:00] sunuvsamm: I've seen things missed on ntfs partitions [09:00] yeah? [09:00] <__richard> oops, my bad [09:00] rams, depends on which vnc you want. i tend to use the 'vnc4server' server package and client. [09:00] sunuvsamm: the better option would be to boot from a windows recovery CD - or even a windows liveCD to scan [09:01] i hate windows but i have to use it for some audio shit ido [09:01] sunuvsamm: do you want to scan the disk for viruses, check the filesystem integrity, or both? [09:01] sucks but thats what i get damn ntfs [09:01] sunuvsamm: watch the language [09:01] Dr_willis: x11vnc is also nice. exports the existing X display [09:01] sunuvsamm: it's not needed [09:01] just scan the disk [09:01] sunuvsamm: its not "cool" to tell the channel how much you hate windows, nor is swearing about it [09:01] okay rtz3736, when I go to update or access repository archives, the connection is refused through localhost 127.0.0.1 [09:01] rtz3736, v11vnc works exactly how i DONT want to use vnc. :) i do not want to share the existing display. [09:01] wats is the best and good antivirus for lubuntu 8.4 [09:01] my avg for windows is missing alot of things i can kill the task, delete the virus and it shows up again eventually [09:01] sunuvsamm: I'd suggest a windows recovery CD to scan, or a window livecd [09:01] Dr_willis: hehe, okay [09:01] we found out earlier that it is because I don't have a direct connection to the internet [09:01] thanks for ur help richards [09:02] unfotunately that is where I had to leave off because of work [09:02] rtz3736, :) of course people get used to how vnc works inder windows.. and they dont realize it can work much differently under linux. They limit theirselfs. [09:02] gaurav: clamav [09:02] sunuvsamm: I'm sure some of the guys in ##windows will have some more advanced virus tips/tricks/techniques [09:02] after i unstalling updates in kubuntu i am not getting sound any more [09:02] can u help me regarding this [09:02] sorry about the bad mouthing yo its just frustrating, yeah> thanks ill check it out [09:02] how to get this clamav [09:02] ? [09:02] rtz3736, is that a tad clearer? [09:03] I don't know how much further I can go, I was being walked through steps when I didn't know really what was going on [09:03] gaurav: either install through System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, or sudo apt-get install clamav (I think) in a terminal [09:03] Dr_willis: having a separate X display for vnc has both advantages and disadvantages. i use x11vnc mainly as a "beamer replacement" when showing something at lug meetings [09:03] gaurav, you may have to enable the univer repositories through synaptic as well. [09:04] lars_: well, it does not really clear the thing up [09:04] lars_: can you use the web? [09:04] thanks ikonia im installing clamav at the moment [09:04] rtz3736, yes I can [09:04] rtz3736, and I can access archives.ubuntu.com [09:04] lars_: and did you set any kind of proxy setting in your browser? [09:04] how to do dis [09:04] thanks dr_willis i am installing vnc [09:05] em a extremly new bie [09:05] rtz3736, I had used proxies in my web-browser, but not set on the computer [09:05] my logs are flooding with DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK messages, every few seconds. what is this? http://paste.org.ru/?je5mm9 [09:05] gaurav, uncomment the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list (remove the # sign in front of the universe repositories) [09:05] lars_: huh? [09:05] estunecle, your network card wants an ip address real bad i guess [09:05] lars_: is it set or not? [09:05] how to get the sound drivers for kubuntu [09:06] arakthor: careful, newbies can get stung by editing files they don't know enough about... [09:06] rtz3736, no [09:06] skillet: what you mean? [09:06] lars_: but still you can browse the web? [09:06] rustychicken, yes. I know. He also asked how to do it, and I cannot give him an answer for doing it in synaptic. It has been too long. [09:06] rtz3736, yes. [09:06] arakthor can i talk with u in pm [09:06] arakthor: i can walk him through it if you like [09:06] joust join me [09:06] lars_: then the package manager should also be able to use the repositories. it is both http protocol. [09:06] dhcp is dynamic host config protocol.... [09:07] rustychicken, if you could :) [09:07] yes rtz3736, it should, but it can't [09:07] arakthor: sure, np. thats what i here for :-D [09:07] those msgs are apart of the dhcp clients process to get an address [09:07] lars_: what is the error message? [09:07] skillet: i see. so this is normal or not? i think its not. [09:08] cuz dhcp lease time is ussually like 24 hours, not 3 seconds [09:08] :P [09:08] well if you are online that means you have an addess.... i would ignore it [09:08] Is anyone aware of any other graphics-editing related program next to GIMP?

[09:16] lars_: you have installed tor (anonymous proxy). that isn't installed by default, so you must know that you installed it. [09:16] it may have been a friend who stayed with me for a few weeks [09:17] I have a problem....gnome voice recognizer is not working in my computer [09:17] rtz3736, how do I go about uninstalling it?

[09:23] rtz3736, and the temp fix is to undo the proxy every time I want to apt-get install shit right? [09:23] Yes..

[10:32] hi all .. is there anyway of hiding an update ?? [10:32] What sort of information would be helpful? It's U8.04, x86 compy, dual boot but I've allocated a whole physical drive for the installation. Anything else that might help diagnose, let me know. [10:32] how can I see all people online? [10:33] means what ??????????i mean how can i get back [10:33] castorquinn, any error messages that are shown [10:33] gaurav, use Windows to recover the NTFS data [10:33] I wonder who is on this IRC [10:33] how to see that?

[10:34] How can I view the partition table on a dd'ed disk image? [10:34] castorquinn: if busybox comes there were errors. ALWAYS [10:34] aron- use xchat, you see everyone with that client [10:34] castorquinn, can you mount your disks? [10:34] how to recover i mean shall i have to connect that hadd again to a windows os and den have ti run any things ??? is so what can i run to restor my data [10:34] thank you ,I have a question [10:34] hi all - i currently have the linux mozilla flash plugin installed that gives me the triangle which i have to click to start it - how can i switch to the official one [10:34] aron_, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:34] gaurav, yeah [10:34] wols: Okay, my bad, I must have missed the error messages. I'll go and see if I can spot them. Thanks guys. [10:35] will it be able to get back data [10:35] gaurav, ask #windows about it [10:35] ? [10:35] gaurav: unless you give us more info what you did to cause this, no one can give you a working way to undo it if it's possible [10:35] Whoa I just found the "negative" screen effect in Compiz, I like it :) [10:35] I feel 1337 [10:36] while I am using seahorse,I cannot input my passphrase for my private key === lordfdisk is now known as LordFDisk === Guest1254 is now known as stony [10:36] Theaxiom, if you want a cool game, check out #bloodfrontier , those guys are working on a really cool FPS [10:36] mr wols dar i try to make it dual os as my old os was xp sp3 and when i installed linux to my new partation my xp is not working and my few data is dere and when i boot sys it shows me the opt but dosen't work out and i am also not able to mount my ntfs partation === stony is now known as Guest63303 [10:37] well this is weird [10:37] hello gaurav :) [10:37] gaurav, in fdisk, is your ntfs partition still on your disk? [10:37] i dn't now [10:37] as i am not able to run fdisk [10:38] Dr_willis is from indiana like me, yay [10:39] 'theres more then corn in indiana' we also have beans! :) [10:40] gaurav, i'm not going to answer your message... you need to put that disk in a working computer, and run fdisk, and see if your partiton is still there === lordfdisk is now known as LordFDisk === Theaxiom_ is now known as Theaxiom [10:40] beans, and a wonderful new stadium === Guest63303 is now known as stony [10:41] sir i try to do so but it doesn't work for fdisk [10:41] it shows as a raw disk === stony is now known as Guest91284 [10:41] what is a raw disk? [10:41] there is nothing at all on it? [10:42] i would wonder what 'sudo fdisk -l' says about a 'raw' disk [10:42] i mean no data and when i try to open it it ask to format and when i see dis disk in partaion manager it shows a healthy n having ntfs format [10:43] Okay, Ubuntu 8.04, installed, when I boot it stops at busybox with *no* error message. I did have to use the "help with installation" option which set up a temp install to install from (couldn't boot from the LiveCD). [10:43] windows has a tendency to ask to 'format' any non ntfs or fat disks it sees... [10:43] k... in windows, you need to run "fdisk /mbr" to restore a boot record that windows will see [10:43] Of course if it is a NTFS disk.. well.. thats not a good sign [10:44] castorquinn: if there is no error, busybox won't show up. and just cause you don't recognize an error message doesn't mean there is none [10:44] can anyone tell me the antivrius for linux [10:44] and the error messages comes quite BEFORE busybox is shown [10:44] gaurav: why? linux doesn't really need one [10:44] gaurav, clamAV [10:44] gaurav theres the clamav tools - to scan files for windows viruses [10:44] really?> [10:44] gaurav really.... [10:45] unless you run a windows virus in wine [10:45] wols: The only text that shows up whatsoever is "Hit ESC to enter menu" with a five second countdown. There is literally no other text displayed on screen until it enters the shell. [10:45] gaurav: you won't find any linux viruses. there are a handfull but you won't ever see them normally [10:45] okh [10:45] castorquinn: then ther is the "quiet" kernel parameter used which suppresses all the helpful messages [10:45] hello everybody , question: is ultamatix recommandable? [10:45] I think you can run some windows anti-virus apps in WINE [10:45] now how to get this clamav? [10:46] any one know how to install flock in ubuntu? [10:46] bervo: if you use it you won'tr get any support at all here anymore. use at your own risk and destroy your ubuntu === Guest91284 is now known as stony [10:46] bervo, I would suggest sticking with the orricial ubuntu. Not some wild variant. [10:46] official. :) [10:46] o right [10:46] wols: Okay, fantastic. Can I switch the message supressor off from busybox so I can see what the problem is? [10:46] whatever Ultramatix is.... never heard of it [10:46] castorquinn: edit your menu.kst === stony is now known as Guest23143 [10:46] *menu.lst [10:46] !ultabreaksit | bervo [10:46] bervo: ultamatix is not supported by Ubuntu.

Please help!!! [10:47] wtf is ultamatix [10:47] ok... right I see [10:47] automatix2 that basically became useless.... makes one wonder what a new variant would do exactly... [10:47] hey [10:47] thanks for the info... [10:47] Dr_willis_: easy. do more breakage! [10:47] I dont know what automatix2 is either [10:47] MikeSeth, no need for it; it breaks systems [10:48] MikeSeth, a silly script that automated things.. and broke lots of 'guidelines/security settings' [10:48] oh [10:48] medibuntu!

[11:37] gaurav Now that error implies the filesystem is messed up - You may want to put the drive in some other windows machine and let windows scandisk the partition then. or (more risky) use the linux ntfs tools to scan/fix the filesystem. [11:37] I had locale regenerating process hang, than after some googling rebuilt locale using single mode and previous kernel, but it did not help. [11:38] sir even i tried it out [11:38] it doesn;t do the chckdisk [11:38] Sounds like it may be totally hosed then.

I could do that easily by myself (fsck my glibc). [11:42] that thread has some ideas/suggestions on possible fix's gaurav but it dosent look good. [11:42] any help [11:42] ? [11:42] Would that happen od Debian? (let's start a flamewar ;P) [11:42] Other then that. Its time to try ##windows perhaps and see if they know more about fixing messed up ntfs filesystems. [11:42] necrolancer: what are you talking about fsck glibc ? [11:42] necrolancer, lets just say.. ive seen it happen. [11:42] 'if anything can go wrong it will' ;) [11:42] even i try this [11:43] windows one says we can't help it any more [11:43] ikonia fsck = f*ck up something.

[11:44] Hello [11:44] ikonia yeah you can do that if you wish. [11:44] Is there Enemy Territory in some repository? [11:44] necrolancer: if you could moderate yourself, that would be most appriciated [11:44] gaurav try the tools that thread mention... but it sounds like the data may be lost. You could 'dd' the drive to a file and try to recover stuff.. but im not sure how to do a emergancy recovery of whatever MIGHT be recoverable... [11:44] bercik, have yoy tried Savage?

[11:45] gaurav: I use thunderbird on linux [11:45] how to get [11:45] Savage2 aint free but the first one is [11:46] gaurav: open up your package manager of choice, search for thunderbird and click install === Guest14019 is now known as stony [11:46] gaurav: applications -> Add/remove ... for instance [11:46] ikonia: about the rules: you have to read first :P (It is not about 8.04 but about 7.10). === stony is now known as Guest53882 [11:46] necrolancer: what rules ?

[11:49] bullgard4: depends what you want / don't want [11:49] bullgard4: if your considering replacing it you obviously know what one does against the other or you wouldn't be considering replacing it [11:49] hello guys, one quickie here, i want to make a user who has only access to a specific folder [11:49] bullgard4: have you considered installing along side each other ? [11:50] how do i set such permissions? i only see the home dir as an option [11:50] AnimaSana: no problem, create the user and put him in a unique group, then give only that group read access [11:50] ikonia: I haven't yet. I do not know if there are side-effects. [11:50] AnimaSana: or look at chroot if you want everything "but" that [11:50] bullgard4: depends what uses xterm [11:50] bullgard4: why not have them both on your machine, and just call which one you want [11:50] thanks ikonia ill check it [11:51] ikonia: My main use of xterm is Irssi. === Guest53882 is now known as stony [11:51] bullgard4: so why do you want to change ? [11:51] bullgard4: also other things may link against/be linked by xterm === stony is now known as Guest55381 [11:51] bullgard4: so consider that before removing it (removing it is not the same as not using it) [11:51] Guest28222: can you stop trying to use the nick stony please [11:52] ikonia: xterm does not accept Unicodes as an input. [11:52] bullgard4: interesting, I thought it could [11:52] bullgard4: no matter, why not install it along side xterm [11:52] ikonia, i think i have done that [11:52] but i can still broswe [11:52] through my system's folders [11:52] AnimaSana: the system folders are world readable [11:52] AnimaSana: you have to remove world read if you want to lock people out [11:53] AnimaSana: why are you bothered about them reading those file systems ?

I popped an nvidia 9500GT into my computer a few minutes ago only to notice that it seemingly isn't supported. But now the Intel card only has a resolution of 640x480; before putting the 9500GT in, I was using it on 1280x1024, and a while ago I could even use it on 1680x1050, which then mysteriously vanished. Now how can I get back to higher resolutions? [12:20] damn... after I have installed compizfusion manager now the windows keep sliding through the desktops! I hate this!° [12:20] Kartagis: as did I, I just looked at the man page [12:20] !it | misterdasher [12:20] sorry,I'm a rookie here,But I do really not know how do I deal with xvidcap to run...help,thanks [12:20] ikonia, nothing [12:20] Kartagis: how did you install bind [12:20] hi [12:20] ikonia, apt-get install bind9 [12:21] How can I add a module permanently to initrd? Using modprobe wont do this permanently would it? [12:21] psie, no that would not. You have to rebuild the initrd file I recall... seen some guides somewhere on that ages ago [12:21] is there a way to configure Hardy on a laptop so that the laptop goes to suspend-to-disk when it has been sleeping in suspend-to-ram-mode for a while? [12:21] psie, why do you need to load it in the initrd? [12:21] Hi, form which file i can get the port number of proxy? [12:22] mikele, use this command , /join #ubuntu-it [12:22] Kartagis: /var/log/syslog [12:22] Hi all Im using fedora can iinstall Ubuntu On Fedora OS?

[12:23] ushimit...: I really don't know as this is the first time I am doing this [12:23] Drenz you can [12:23] Cocoabean, how..? [12:23] Drenz, you could run ubuntu inside vmware or virtualbox.. if thats what you want... [12:23] !skype | gaurav [12:23] gaurav: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [12:23] ikonia, I think this is it. Aug 23 14:20:18 tolga-desktop kernel: [16038.430263] audit(1219490418.061:26): type=1503 operation="inode_create" requested_mask="w::" denied_mask="w::" name="/etc/init.d/named.run" pid=11880 profile="/usr/sbin/named" namespace="default" [12:24] Drenz in the ubuntu install documentation, there is a tutorial on how to do it from an existing linux installation [12:24] psie, you can install directly to luks encrypted partition using the alternative CD which is much easier [12:24] skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb i downloaded dis but dosen't worked for me [12:24] Dr_willis_, no [12:24] Kartagis: should be more than that [12:24] !install [12:24] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [12:24] psie: (you can use TAB to complete names). That command should should rebuild the initrd with the current modules. You should back up your original initrd first of course [12:24] Dr_willis_, i want to install ubuntu and removed fedora but without Ubuntu Cd [12:24] ikonia, nope, that's it [12:24] im using fedora now [12:24] Drenz https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [12:24] Cocoabean, thanx [12:24] psie: something like this can back it up: sudo mv /boot/initrd.img-`uname-r` /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`.ubuntu [12:24] Drenz, installing 'on' fedora is a bit vague. :) you mean install from 'inside' fedora i guess. [12:25] Kartagis: grep through that syslog for named [12:25] lol Dr_willis_ yes [12:25] i think Drenz means he wants to install it over Fedora [12:25] Hello all. Using 8.04 (Hardy), when I insert a CD or DVD, this initiates 3 "Insert CD" events. i.e. 3 Thunars open or 3 appropriate CD/DVD applications open. Why?? [12:25] Kartagis: also how did you install bind [12:25] ushimitsudoki1: so this is how I back it up but how to load the now module? [12:25] ikonia, oh, I found things [12:25] does anybody know how I can make the borders of the desktop "hard" so the windows will not be able to cross over onto another desktop? [12:25] ikonia, apt-get install bind9 [12:26] Kartagis: ok, so thats a good start [12:26] arvind_khadri: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39885/ [12:26] my compiz does not start. [12:26] Cocoabean, i mean like a windows with wubi but to do that on fedora no windows [12:26] only metacity works - why? [12:26] aldipc, theres a setting for that.. but it depend son if you are using compiz, or just normal gnome I belive.. (and no i dont rember where its at) [12:26] psie: you can add modules in /etc/modules - you can use insmod to insert a module [12:27] Drenz: you'll have to use some virtual machine software then, I've never set up a VM but i think you might want to check out Virtualbox or VMware [12:27] arvind_khadri: yohooo [12:27] how do i tell compiz to load on starting the pc?? - up till now I have to use the compiz-settings icon to reload... [12:28] ushimitsudoki1: so let me repeat I add the module in /etc/module and then execute insmod? no, not really? [12:28] arvind_khadri: yohooo [12:28] psie: is there a reason initrd is not a solution for you ? [12:28] psie: once the module is in /etc/modules you should not need insmod as the module should load at boot [12:28] psie: I thought you wanted it to load before anything else ? [12:29] psie: you only need insmod if you are trying to insert it after boot (like testing or something) [12:29] hey [12:29] does anyone know a program on ubuntut that helps you make booklets? [12:29] ikonia: yes I wanted [12:29] psie: so use initrd [12:29] arvind_khadri: yohooo [12:29] psie: or is there a problem with that ? [12:30] psie: /etc/modules will only be read during the system boot - so the kernel will already be running at that point, and the root file system mounted [12:30] hey! somebody asked me what I mean by compiz not working? it says Xgl not available. [12:30] ikonia: well i dont know how to get the moduel into initrd [12:30] module [12:30] !initrd | psie [12:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about initrd [12:30] ahh [12:30] !initramfs [12:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about initramfs [12:31] ushimitsudoki1: thx for the help [12:31] how do I play commercial dvd's under ubuntu? [12:31] ikonia, I found the problem. i just have to fiddle a bit with the .conf [12:31] ikonia: won't he need to do somehtin like this: sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r` ?? [12:31] ikonia: that was the original point i think [12:31] !dvd | aldipc [12:31] aldipc: 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 [12:31] !codecs [12:31] 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 [12:31] noob here... unsure about proper etiquette for asking support question, so here it is again... [12:31] ushimitsudoki1: just trying to find the exact docs [12:31] Hello all. Using 8.04 (Hardy), when I insert a CD or DVD, this initiates 3 "Insert CD" events. i.e. 3 Thunars open or 3 appropriate CD/DVD applications open. What would cause this? [12:31] Kartagis: good [12:32] ikonia: alright I'm pretty sure that's what i had to do with a network driver one time, but I won't stake my glorious reputation on it [12:32] how to get compiz to start with the pc - instead of having to run compiz-fusion-icon and then do a reload?? [12:32] ikonia, thanks for pointing me out to syslog. I though it would be messages [12:32] ushimitsudoki1: me neither - hence why I'm looking for the docs [12:32] ushimitsudoki1: it looks right though [12:33] frybye https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/InstallingCompiz [12:33] brb [12:33] my compiz does not work. only metacity is working. Idea? [12:34] frybye that assumes you are using gnome , KDE is a bit different [12:34] but idk which you use [12:36] does anyone know a program on ubuntut that helps you make booklets? [12:36] ksbalaji:what video card do you have [12:36] arvind_khadri: yohooo [12:37] havocstorm: any word processor should be ok [12:37] ikonia, I tried using the open doc templates but it doesn't work [12:37] havocstorm: you mean like a desktop publishing app? check scribus i think [12:37] havocstorm: define doesn't work [12:37] can any one tell me abt skype skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb this version i downloded but dosen't worked/??????????? [12:37] --- Disconnected (). [12:37] ushimitsudoki, yeah I've check out scribus but it doesn't allow for the zine format where you print 8 pages in one page [12:38] ushimitsudoki1: So what does mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic 2.6.24-19-generic really do? And how can I use it to get my module dm-crypt loaded? [12:38] ikonia, the problem is mentioned above, in word processor you have to use templates and templates doesn't work [12:38] havocstorm: how does the template "not work" [12:38] havocstorm: does it not load, not print, not the layout you want ? [12:38] havocstorm: what's the issue [12:39] ikonia, the square have their own alignment, so the ones on the right have the paragrahs turned 90 degrees to the left [12:39] ikonia, in the last few squares it goes back to normal formatting [12:39] havocstorm: have you tried a different template [12:39] ikonia, I haven't found any different templates [12:40] arvind_khadri: yohooo [12:40] hmm, oh well dw about it [12:40] psie: you can check the man page for detail, but it basically generates an initramfs image. this is the ram image used to load the kernel. I don't know about the dm-crypt module specifically, but i know i had to do this when i changed out my network drivers and needed them to load automagically [12:41] ushimitsudoki1: I already have this image but how can I get any module in there? [12:43] psie: you will first add the module with modprope (or insmod), then rebuild kernel module dependencies (sudo depmod -a), then backup the existing initrd, then create a new one [12:43] psie: that is what i would try anyway [12:43] psie: modprobe i meant [12:44] ushimitsudoki1: ok just that I got it: I start with #modprobe dm-crypt [12:45] then # depmod -a [12:45] then back it up with mkinitramfs -o .............. [12:45] psie: yes i think so. did anything break? if so, i am wrong :) if not, continue [12:46] psie: the back up was the one with the "mv" command. do it first [12:46] ushimitsudoki1: but how do I create a new one? [12:46] psie: the create a new one is the mkinitramfs command [12:46] ushimitsudoki1: ahhh ok thx a lot!!! [12:46] please -- not trying to be rude, but how do I get a response to a support question in this room? (re-post or continue to wait?) [12:47] psie: good luck i hope it works let me know [12:47] Hi all, I've got a problem with AWN. I'm trying to reinstall, but I can't find a way to uninstall it. It's not in synaptic anymore, but it placed in icons in the configuration. Maybe I compiled it myself? I don't know anymore. Does anybody know a way to uninstall it? Thanks in advance. [12:47] I will [12:48] Hello, Can someone help me to Install an AverMedia TV card in ubuntu hardy?, thanks [12:49] what a great day to live! [12:49] rik: if you compiled it yourself locate sources folder and type sudo make uninstall [12:49] arvind_khadri: yohooo [12:50] why is it that ubuntu is the only distro on which firefox is so crashy for me? [12:50] whats the best way to troubleshoot connectivity issues with ubuntu. i can connect to my wifi fine, for about 30 seconds i can browse the web fine, but then the connection drops, but i show full bars. [12:50] been this way since dapper at least. [12:50] Hello, Can someone help me to Install an AverMedia TV card in ubuntu hardy?, thanks [12:50] Reaby: Ok, i'll try that, thanks! [12:50] ikonia, sorry for not being prompt. I do not have a video card. It is inbuilt something ATI 200 [12:51] can someone help me change disk permissions? [12:51] juanan: I have tried many times to install AverMedia USB-Volar in Ubuntu Fiesty without success. Googling will return many writeups of others who were unsuccessful. I would be very interested if you can get it to work (if you are also using the Hybrid Volar USB). I am living in Taiwan now, so I asked AverMedia directly. They provided an updated driver (which still didn't work). [12:51] What is a file .Xmodmap for? It does not exist on my Ubuntu 8.04.1. [12:51] What is a good program for system monitoring on the desktop? [12:52] ewebuntu1: I haven't an Avermedia USB Volar :( [12:52] Theaxiom: conky [12:52] ikonia, ATI radeon express 200 [12:52] ushimitsudoki1: Thanks [12:52] ewebuntul: My card is PCMCIA [12:52] Theaxiom: 'System Monitor'. [12:52] php6th, what?? [12:53] arvind_khadri: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39885/ [12:53] Theaxiom: system>administration>systemmonitor [12:53] foxhop: Thanks, but that thing is huge [12:53] bullgard4: .Xmodmap is often used to re-map special keys on a keyboard or at least that's where i've ran across it [12:53] hey [12:53] juanan: hopefully you have better luck than I then. If you have a PCI card, you might be more successful. In have found that, although AverMedia claims "Linux compatible", things do not work well in Ubuntu :( [12:54] ever since i changed the hostname, everything seems to start slower. how come? [12:54] arvind_khadri: yohooo [12:54] ushimitsudoki1: Right. And how does Ubuntu solve this problem? [12:54] Kartagis: local DNS queries leak to the internet? [12:54] is dere any help [12:54] for skype [12:54] bullgard4: Ubuntu can use .Xmodmap i have one right now for my Logitech G15 keyboard [12:55] MikeSeth, what do you mean? [12:55] bullgard4: if you don't need one it might not be in there by default [12:55] Theaxiom: right click one of your task bar panels, click add and choose system monitor [12:55] Kartagis: exactly that, see resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf [12:55] ushimitsudoki1: What programs will make use of the .Xmodmap? [12:55] foxhop: thanks [12:56] any help for skype [12:56] ewebuntu1: It's detected in dmesg as AverMedia Hybrid 16AR but doesn't work, I think PCMCIA is not compatible in Ubuntu [12:56] You can right click that widget and configure it how you like [12:56] Reaby: Is it possible I don't have the source of AWN anymore? Should I download it again? [12:56] bullgard4: I think it is just the X server? Not sure about that, but I don't think applications generally read the keyboard directly - don't they get that from X? Again, not sure on that one [12:57] rik: it should work, but i'm not 100% sure [12:57] hello everyone. Can anyone help me getting sound to work with my logitech USB speaker? [12:57] Reaby: ok, thanks [12:57] ushimitsudoki1: Thank you very much for explaining. [12:57] MikeSeth, http://pastebin.com/f62ba3892 is all I've got in resolv.conf [12:57] Kartagis: or rather, DNS requests that should be matched locally (e.g. via hosts file) are sent to internet [12:57] the moview player can play sound ok, but all other apps (vlc, flash player) can't play sound [12:57] What is the name of the kernel sources package for Ubuntu? [12:58] MikeSeth, and http://pastebin.com/f49552d8c nsswitch.conf [12:58] Kartagis: and /etc/hosts? did you update the hostname on 127.0.0.1? [12:59] MikeSeth, no, I should have, right? [12:59] also wtf mdns4 in nsswitch.cinf [12:59] Kartagis: yes, otherwise if your box is foo and you ping foo it'll try to ask the dns [12:59] * Kartagis bangs head on the wall [12:59] Kartagis: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/94940 [12:59] Launchpad bug 94940 in avahi "mdns listed in nsswitch.conf causes excessive time for dns lookups" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:59] lat: linux-generic [13:00] bullgard4, thanks!

[13:13] can somebody help me.. i want add /usr/lib/kde4/bin to sudo's PATH.. see this: http://paste.org.ru/?b6jr65 [13:13] ushimitsudoki1: but where does me thake this? I wont be able to boot without dm-crypt [13:13] ksbalaji: install drivers, if that does not solve, right click desktop, click change desktop background, select visual effects, change selection to normal then re-log [13:13] MikeSeth: Where? [13:13] ushimitsudoki1: after the last command the kernel with the module is loaded? [13:13] so I am cool to reboot? [13:14] MikeSeth, I have fglx installed. - When run, It starts 600x800 mode only. Not higher resolutions. I had to stop it. [13:14] psie: that is the hope. it is loaded now right? add it to /etc/modules as well (just to be sure, because i am not) and then reboot.

[15:18] Ontolog, if you have the model number of the pc i may be able to see for you [15:18] robelliott2125, creating a launcher that runs gnome-panel could work, and creating a launcher for gnome-terminal and running gnome-panel from there should at least work [15:18] ActionParsnip i ejected it the way it sopost to [15:18] !parted [15:18] dunia bugil [15:19] Killer--Tux: ok, run sudo fdisk -l [15:19] Killer--Tux: does it show up?

Apparently it wasn't installed :/ [15:19] Gul3: goto system / Preference / Screen Resolution [15:19] robelliott2125: theres your issue [15:19] hi everybody [15:19] robelliott2125: the terminal is so much more power than a clicky gui [15:19] x5x-ubuntu: that wont allow me to set depth [15:20] ActionParsnip nothing happend [15:20] Yeah, thing is, it was. lol I'm an ex-winblows user, so i can't understand how it would be removed. I know i didn't do it. [15:20] x5x-ubuntu: and neither will displayconfig-gtk [15:20] Killer--Tux: did you copy / paste the command? [15:20] no [15:20] /msg ubottu etiquette [15:20] x5x-ubuntu: and xorg.conf seems useless [15:20] Gul3: ohh then ? sry im a newbi me self ... [15:20] ActionParsnip, I've been trying to learn terminal, as its helped me a lot, and I prefer commands than guis, but again, as ex-xp user, guis is "the way" lol [15:20] x5x-ubuntu ok no problem [15:20] lol nice, i found a bug in every panel (kde, gnome, xfce) except fluxboxes panel. [15:21] robelliott2125: yeah people find that :) [15:21] robelliott2125: gui is slow [15:21] robelliott2125, right click on panel > delete this panel, my kid (2 years old) managed to close my bottom panel by just playing with the mouse [15:21] cshadowrun: i use fluxbox too, its sweet [15:21] Gul3, just take values from and old corg.conf, or visit xorg.conf on how to set up your xorg.conf [15:21] ActionParsnip don't suppose you know where the configuration for fbpanel is? [15:21] ActionParsnip ok i got a alot of stuf [15:21] Damnit... Is there a way to "sync" it to the way it used to be? Ie, with all my shortcuts etc? [15:21] in hardy everything is autodetected, so youll have to manually put your values in there [15:22] cshadowrun: ~/.fluxbox is a good place to start [15:22] jhattara, I'm the only user on here, and neither my partner or the kid touches it, so I know those wouldn't have done it [15:22] robelliott2125, i guess you'll just have to reconstruct the panel again [15:22] is there a command that will show me who is scped into my computer? [15:22] lmouser1 [15:22] Killer--Tux: ok use pastebin to give us the output [15:22] kevin0: hmm but xorg.conf does not include anything about display and drivers. seems like xorg is getting this information elsewhere [15:22] Gul3, sorry i meant to say an old xorg.conf* [15:22] ActionParsnip so i've been told, only it doesn't exist :p [15:22] !paste | Killer--Tux [15:22] Killer--Tux: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[15:23] Yes ich [15:23] Gul3, its because its autodetected, xorg.conf is now for people like us who need to set the sriver, or res, or depth [15:23] Kevin0: so xorg.conf is getting values from xorg.conf if i write something in? [15:23] hi guys. I have a doubt on a usb wifi adapter on my ubuntu 8.04 [15:23] driver* [15:23] mississipi_joe: this is ubuntu support, no one really cares [15:23] robelliott2125, then try this: i guess you have gui by now [15:23] Does anyone know how to work awn?

[15:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about it's supported. [15:23] ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/39913/ [15:23] Plus I've kept terminal running too ich [15:23] cshadowrun: you must thats where the config is dude [15:23] kevin0: ok thanks man [15:24] tha point is that when I plug it on my laptop, it doesn't recognize it. [15:24] Gul3, np [15:24] Thanks ActionParsnip, for your help! :D [15:24] Does anyone use awn?? [15:24] Killer--Tux: ok so you got a 250Gb usb drive? [15:24] robelliott2125, open nautilus then in you home directory and rename the gnome-backup folder in .gnome [15:24] ActionParsnip well it's not there, i'm running fbpanel right now, i do not have that config folder [15:24] ActionParsnip yes [15:24] ActionParsnip i'll try closing and opening fbpanel again :P [15:24] when I put on a second laptop, with the same ubuntu 8.04, it recognize and auto load its drivers [15:24] robelliott2125, or: cp -R $HOME/gnome-backup $HOME/.gnome [15:24] Does anyone use awn manger? [15:24] i found that when i type lsusb on the first, it outputs nothing but the usb bus. [15:24] hi all, i need to install ubuntu, kubuntu or xubuntu on a laptop... thing is i will be using openbox window manager but using some KDE apps (Amarok, Konversation) as well as some Gnome apps (Workrave)...... which flavor would be more suitable ? Is xubuntu the right one since its the lightest, or will it be pointless since i need kdelibs and gnomelibs to run the programs... but not xfcelibs ? thanks [15:25] !xorg [15:25] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[15:25] ActionParsnip thats probably why [15:25] nvm, found it [15:25] robelliott2125, of course since it is hidden [15:25] Killer--Tux: you could add it to /etc/fstab to mount it at boot [15:25] the usb works fine. I used it with a pendrive and that's fine. so, it's not the socket. [15:25] robelliott2125, any folder with "." at the beginning is hidden [15:25] Killer--Tux: also try looking in /media [15:25] have you ever been in such a situation like this? [15:25] Hi I have a small question.. [15:25] If I have windows on extended partition (D drive letter) [15:26] and I have active primary partition C with boot.ini ONLY (no windows) [15:26] will grub detect my winXP successfully? [15:26] Sagi22: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:26] If there are any ops in here, it may be a good idea to update ubottu's xorg factoid to point out that the new xorg uses autodetection [15:26] robelliott2125, in nautilus go to press ctrl + H [15:26] not go to but press it :D [15:26] Sagi22: grub can boot windows [15:26] hardy edgy [15:26] ActionParsnip the is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/39915/ [15:26] racquad: then you gotta config the wifi device [15:26] ActionParnsnip I know but please read my question [15:27] Balls to it ich, if i close terminal down, it closes the bars [15:27] ActionParsnip: the question is: how? [15:27] Killer--Tux: then you didnt unplug it gracefull [15:27] Am I asking my question wrong? [15:27] racquad: start with lspci and lsusb [15:27] whats the best app for using ubuntu like windows media thing not the player [15:27] ActionParsnip: I tried to load the drivers manually, but it didn't work at all. [15:27] robelliott2125, what was the last command in the terminal? [15:27] gnome-panel [15:27] ActionParsnip: lsusb returns nothing but the usb bus [15:27] then press alt + f2 [15:28] But i also have warnings too ich [15:28] Yup, run app is now there ich [15:28] Killer--Tux: replug it into windows, double click saftely remove hardware and then when it says its safe, unplug it [15:28] robelliott2125, perfect no type in gnome-panel [15:28] whats the best app for using ubuntu like windows media thing not the player [15:28] racquad: ok what does lspci show [15:28] liamkmc, try banshee, i heard it was nice [15:28] ActionParsnip I know but please read my question [15:29] liamkmc: how do you mean?

Because I put a pendrive and Ubuntu recognize. I put the adapter on another laptop and Ubuntu also recognize [15:31] is there an app like windows media center? for ubuntu [15:31] Thing is ich, everything was fine last night when i shutdown, no errors reported etc. [15:31] Okay, here is my plan. I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed right now, and I am planning to install Windows XP. What should I do to make sure GRUB will still work? [15:31] ActionParsnip: Uh, no. [15:32] robelliott2125, do you have a link for the tut how to get these panels back? [15:32] liamkmc, I think its called mythubuntu [15:32] jobb: then why do you want 2 adapters listed?

[16:24] hello, i know here isnt the right channel but idk where is, how i set in de SOURCE of PTLINK a module private liek +A you can get in oper but when you set -A you cant get it until u oper again, i create the module but u can -module and +module [16:24] LSD|Ninja: ty trying all the one ActionParsnip suggested i tried before but couldnt get it to go probably doing something retarded [16:24] katts: if youo follow the guide from after the install of ndiswrapper you should be fine [16:24] I am looking for a bootable disk to "clear" hard disks. I'm wanting to clear a hard disk before donating it. What is something that is easy to use that will overwrite data a set number of times? [16:24] Could someone help me change disk permissions? [16:24] actionparsnip the partition is 200 gb [16:24] Gillpy: Any idea why suddenly my xorg and compoz.real is working overtime? [16:25] Can i search inside files? So for example i want to find a phrase "xmltv.kava.ee" in whole filesystem, how would i do that? [16:25] hdj [16:25] o type sudo fdisk -l and termanal says http://paste.ubuntu.com/39928/ [16:25] ActionParsnip, thx... but I want NO application to start, there seems not to be an option for that in that setting...? [16:25] hello, i know here isnt the right channel but idk where is, how i set in de SOURCE of PTLINK a module private liek +A you can get in oper but when you set -A you cant get it until u oper again, i create the module but u can -module and +module??? [16:25] actionparsnip it is not weird, every filesystem does it, but more advanced filesystems waste less space [16:25] C0p3rn1c: head over to #compiz [16:26] i can connect to my windows shares via smbclient but not on on X any help? [16:26] ActionParsnip: ok great idea thx [16:26] salve [16:26] hi all [16:26] nnull: mount them dude [16:26] ActionParsnip, via connect to server or? [16:26] o type sudo fdisk -l and termanal says http://paste.ubuntu.com/39928/ [16:27] Hey hey! I am trying to install Windows XPSP2 Home and it is saying that I have no hard drives powered on. Now, I know there is but I have Ubuntu installed as well. How would I go about making setup notice my drives? [16:27] nnull: with mount [16:27] or smbmount [16:27] tolis: was that fdisk -l thing meant for me? [16:27] Can anyone suggest a WindowManager that would allow you to start a program on a specific X-screen (not display) [16:27] btw I found out today how to SAFELY remove USB devices, just use sudo eject /dev/{devicename} [16:27] yea [16:27] nnull: then it willshow up as a local resource [16:27] what i should do now arska? [16:28] Hello, I'm at the website to download and there is only one option, but I've seen people talk about feisty and gutsy and stuff. I was wondering what those versions are? [16:28] why do i need to make it a local resource? :s [16:28] tolis: its all in that walkthrough we keep sending you [16:28] Im trying to convert a .nrg file to ISO. But nrg2iso doesn't work and AcetoneISO2 says that the file is already in ISO-9660 format. But still it has the .nrg extension [16:28] nnull: to access the data [16:28] tolis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39930/ [16:28] how well does ubuntu run on file system... ( reiserfs ) [16:28] Can anyone help me? [16:28] i cant understanding..:) [16:28] what if i had 1000 shares id need to make 1000 resources? :X [16:28] matt_: system rescue cd has an app called wipe http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [16:29] unclemike: not bad... until you discover your wife is missing [16:29] tolis: there's what I got [16:29] Hey hey! I am trying to install Windows XPSP2 Home and it is saying that I have no hard drives powered on. Now, I know there is but I have Ubuntu installed as well. How would I go about making setup notice my drives? [16:29] LSD|Ninja: lol [16:29] julle_: kiso can do it but thats a kde app [16:29] sp3 came out [16:29] get that [16:29] i'm trying to setup a pxe boot server on my laptop but for some reason ubuntu isn't able to assign a dhcp lease [16:29] julle_: It's a dirty trick but you might start CDMage via Wine to convert your nrg to iso [16:29] does anybody know how to change the path of the folders in the resources menu? i tried to modify user-dirs.dirs, but nothing happened [16:29] CDMage can be downloaded freely [16:29] Foshizzlem don't tell me that. I am installing SP2 okay [16:29] WDC: are they serial ata? [16:30] WDC: Are those ddrives sata? [16:30] ActionParsnip, not sure, but I think so [16:30] LSD|Ninja: run that good..she couldent keep up [16:30] WDC then you need to choose F6 durin installation and install the driver [16:30] HNSZ: not necessarily [16:30] WDC: xp doesnt have sata drivers, you need to slipstream them in or provide the sata drivers on floppy drive [16:30] WDC: the driver you need to copy from you miotherboard cd oonto a floppy [16:30] WDC: see if there's a legacy or AHCI option in your BIOS [16:31] HNSZ, F6... , in the windows setup> [16:31] ? [16:31] any ideas? [16:31] WDC: Is this an Intel chipset system? [16:31] LSD Unless you want to experience pain of course [16:31] LSD|Ninja: yah Core 2 Duo Centrino [16:31] Hi all, how do I configure the x server display size (video mode) without gnome? [16:32] jorritlinnert: ActionParsnip thank you [16:32] HNSZ: It is possible to install XP onto SATA without needing a driver. I've installed it onto a couple of systems like that [16:32] nephtes: have you installed your graphics driver? [16:32] What are feisty and gutsy? [16:32] ActionParsnip: Yep [16:32] HNSZ: code names for Ubuntu relases [16:32] HNSZ, they are different (older) versions of ubuntu [16:32] Okey [16:32] HNSZ: Gutsy was 7.10, Feisty 7.04 [16:32] HNSZ, so how do I do that? [16:32] nephtes: what you got? [16:33] ActionParsnip: h/w you mean? An old ATI Radeon [16:33] WDC: Look for an AHCI option in the BIOS [16:33] ActionParsnip: It's set to 1024x768 and I want it at 1280x1024 [16:33] LSD|Ninja, oh the BIOS [16:33] "(05:32:16 PM) LSD|Ninja: HNSZ: It is possible to install XP onto SATA without needing a driver. I've installed it onto a couple of systems like that" [16:33] Whoohoo you sound like a mystic [16:34] !widescreen | nephtes [16:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about widescreen [16:34] how to connect via wlan0 [16:34] nephtes: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98105 [16:34] LSD|Ninja: HNSZ: I'm not going to ask you so you either tell me or stfu [16:34] srboritez: Depends on what cipset your WLAN card has. [16:34] Hi, my system has a Intel Core2Duo processor which i think is 64bit, so should i download the 64bit version of ubuunto/kubuntu or just the standard version?? [16:34] ^_^ [16:34] HNSZ: ? [16:34] lol [16:34] nephtes: tis is more useful http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/cant-set-to-1280x1024-on-ubuntu-with-ati-mobility-radeon-x1600-and-external-monitor-579335/ [16:34] Does anybody know why the Broadcom driver doesn't work on Intrepid? It worked perfectly in Hardy. [16:35] Can i search inside files? So for example i want to find a phrase "xmltv.kava.ee" in whole filesystem, how would i do that? [16:35] gustavo: ubuntu+1 is where all the Intrepid q's go [16:35] rawr. I forgot what key to get into BIOS menu [16:35] i want to connect two computers and establish internet sharing [16:35] Ugh, also apparently xchat is opening links as a web browser, but I'll get to that later [16:35] LSD|Ninja: what's ubuntu+1? [16:35] srboritez: OK, but you have problems getting WLAN working, right? [16:35] Who else has better results with directx than with opengl on wine? [16:35] ActionParsnip: Bottom line, I need to edit xorg.conf? [16:36] !inetsharing [16:36] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [16:36] srboritez: Are you using a laptop or a desktop? [16:36] gustavo: #ubuntu+1 is the Intrepid discussion channel right now :P [16:36] LSD|Ninja, where do I find how to make XP notice mah SATA drives? [16:36] nephtes: ActionParsnip has already left the room [16:36] LSD|Ninja: oh thanks! [16:36] i want to connect laptop and desktop [16:36] WDC: I can't tell you where it is, only what to look for [16:37] LSD|Ninja, well my BIOS doesn't seem to have it anywhere [16:37] jorritlinnert, ah, so he has [16:37] srboritez: Which machine runs Ubuntu, your laptop or your desktop? [16:37] on desktop i have internet connection threw usb modem [16:37] WDC: If it's a Centrino lappy then you'll be using the ICH SATA which I know doesn't need an F6 driver to install XP onto [16:37] on both [16:37] It's weird because xorg.conf doesn't have a "Display" subsection anywhere [16:37] WDC: You need to just copy a sata driver from your motherboard cd-rom onto a floppy and press F6 for third party devices install during windows install [16:37] I'll try the obvious and just add one with the 1280x1024 mode [16:37] HNSZ, Tis' a laptop [16:37] Here goes [16:38] HNSZ: Laptop. No floppy drive. Also no F6 driver should be needed. [16:38] hi guys!!! [16:38] srboritez: try lspci on the cmd_line, this will give you a description of all PCI cards installed, which will probably include your WLAN card [16:38] im looking for an irc where i can chat about webdesign!!! [16:38] LSD|Ninja, so what do I do? [16:38] yes it is included [16:38] on both [16:38] wooboy, well asking in #ubuntu won't help you. Go #html #php #css #javascript [16:38] LSD|Ninja: But you are npot going to tell hi are you? You are just going to say it's possible. [16:38] WDC: Is it an SP2 CD you;re trying to install from? [16:38] thanks!!! [16:39] LSD|Ninja, yes [16:39] wooboym np [16:39] srboritez: Ah, you're using Ubuntu on both systems? So what chipset does your WLAN have? [16:39] #html [16:39] what is chip set were to check? [16:39] HNSZ: Fine then. Explain how you'd use a driver on a floppy on a machine with no floppy drive (XP won't read drivers from anything else) [16:39] Hi, my system has a Intel Core2Duo processor which i think is 64bit, so should i download the 64bit version of ubuunto/kubuntu or just the standard version?? [16:39] srboritez: lshw -C Network [16:39] scifi: stick with 32 bit [16:39] ubuntu server has a pretty good setup. does ubuntu server offer any commercial support? [16:39] srboritez: It should be included in the information you got from lspci [16:40] when i ssh -X into my ubuntu box, i don't get the theme that i have selected in the config files; i get a seemingly blank theme. is there a config file somewhere i should source to get the theme? [16:40] !support | NylaX [16:40] NylaX: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [16:40] LSD|Ninja: ty [16:40] NylaX: http://ubuntu.com/support [16:40] LSD|Ninja, lol. Is there a way to do it in Ubuntu? That is installd [16:40] LSD|Ninja: my connection timed out wanted to say ty for your assist [16:41] thanks erUSUL [16:41] LSD|Ninja, eh? [16:41] srboritez: What brand and type of WLAN card do you use? [16:42] hello world [16:42]  jorritlinnert: on laptop bcm4318 [16:42] I wonder we can't use usb outside of os. [16:42] srboritez: have a wired connection handy? === lint is now known as lint[a] [16:42] srboritez: That's a Broadcom chipset, that should work with MadWifi drivers. [16:42] katts: so it's all good now? [16:42] jorritlinnert: madwifi is atheros [16:43] LSD|Ninja, is there a way to make Windows XP setup notice it by configuring it in Ubuntu>? [16:43] HNSZ: Vista can load drivers off of USB but you don't get that option in XP [16:43] HNSZ, XP is sort of old [16:43] in gnome-xchat, how can i hide join/part/quit messages? i couldn't find the option [16:43] LSD|Ninja: I thought that MadWifi also worked for a couple of other drivers. [16:43] jorritlinnert: what about desktop i use usb vlan [16:44] ganymede, #xchat [16:44] WDC: XP SP2 understands AHCI, you need to figure out why your system isn't saying it has AHCI [16:44] LSD:There should be support from the mother board to have usb run as a floppy. [16:44] HNSZ, there isn't. Okay? [16:44] LSD|Ninja, I am at the BIOS Setup [16:44] WDC: Correct [16:44] srboritez: That might be hard to get working. Most USB NIC's are not supported on Linux [16:45] WDC: /topic #xchat [16:45] ganymede, what? [16:45] WDC: read the topic in #xchat [16:45] jorritlinnert:on desktop i have Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0bda:0111 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [16:45] Bus 002 Device 003: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. [16:45] srboritez: With broadcom if you have a wired connection available you can simply install the b43-fwcutter and then the driver should be made available in the Hardware Drivers panel [16:45] ganymede, what's the problem [16:45] ganymede: command is /set irc_conf_mode 1 [16:46] Hi. Does anyone know why track names with foreign characters appear distorted in Amarok but are fine within Gnome's file system? [16:46] srboritez: Ralink drivers are tricky to get working, because you need the firmware from the Ralink website [16:46] Ralink are tricky to get going because Ralink suck :P [16:46] jorritlinnert: i found it and installed it [16:46] srboritez: Does it work? [16:46] Is there a simple way to flip a single random bit in a file? [16:46] legend2440: thanks, where are such commands documented? [16:46] Is it possible to play .pcm files through SDPIF in ubuntu? cus i cant get it to work properly. I've tried VLC and Mplayer? [16:47] ganymede: http://xchat-win32.berlios.de/setvars.html [16:47] yes i get connection from one guy [16:47] LSD|Ninja, anymore ideas? [16:47] srboritez: If you are wardriving, be sure to have a secure system before you connect (!) [16:47] but i cant connect desktop and lap top [16:47] Anyone got a tutorial for getting eve online to work in ubuntu? [16:48] sharperguy, look around in Google. [16:48] WDC, I did [16:48] srboritez: What encryption are you using on your WLAN? [16:48] ganymede: after you do /set irc_conf_mode 1 have to restart gnome-xchat for change to take effect [16:48] WDC: what model laptop? [16:48] personal [16:48] legend2440: will do now, thanks again [16:48] LSD|Ninja: It's funny because in the other channel there was a guy who was bashing on broadcom and that swore on ralink. I guess there will always be some uninformed asshole with an opinion somwhere. [16:48] LSD|Ninja, Sony Vaio VGN-AR-730E [16:48] LSD|Ninja, No dash between AR and 730E, sorry [16:48] ubuntu-tutorials.com [16:49] HNSZ: LSD|Ninja my ralink 2500 needs no firmware and work flwlessly on all the kernells a tried [16:49] i have tried threw firestarter nothing works [16:49] srboritez: Did you enter the correct passphrase/ code for it? [16:49] when i try connect to a windows share it says "No application is registered as handling this file" [16:49] yes [16:49] how can i transfer files from xp to linux is in the same pc [16:50] Can someone please tell me what this does: eclipse -vm /usr/bin/java -ws gtk [16:50] tolis, External hard drive, USB drive, e-mail [16:50] I would like to know why that fixes my eclipse issues... [16:50] srboritez: Still I'd look for a solution in the encryption, because you can get a connection from an unprotected network [16:50] wdc [16:50] with a program or a command from termanal? [16:51] tolis, okay. Find out how to mount your XP partition. [16:51] i use firestarter [16:51] this configuration file is applied when a gnome desktop is started: "~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml" but how can i apply it in an ssh -X session? otherwise, in ssh -X, gtk apps are unthemed [16:51] srboritez: Last time I used my Ralink2500 I couldn't get it working with WPA, only WEP. fyi: WEP can be cracked in under 3 seconds. [16:51] erUSUL: I have no opinion or experience on the matter. [16:51] HNSZ: just FYI [16:51] LSD|Ninja any ideas? [16:51] Ralinks do WPA, they just don't work with wpa_supplicant last I checked [16:52] erUSUL: Thank You FYI ;) [16:52] LSD|Ninja: i figured out why you said not bad until you find out your wife is missing....sence the developer of the file system killed his wife [16:52] anyone have any ideas on how to fix the amarok issue of how to display accents? [16:52] WDC: Actually, I had it backwards. XP doesn't have AHCI support, you have to disable that to make it work and from what I could find, Sony seem to have them hardcoded to AHCI [16:52] can someone help me setup my system to use two monitors and the nvidia propriatery drivers [16:52] i cant even get threv without encription [16:53] LSD|Ninja, orly [16:53] LSD|Ninja: no wpa_supplicant indeed, but I couldn't connect with my router using WPA through the Rt2xxx-driver [16:53] LSD|Ninja, So am I out of luck? [16:53] With the Ralink card/drivers I have, I have to use iwpriv to enable WPA on it [16:53] FFEMTcJ, go to System > Administration, and Hardware Drivers [16:53] that should enable you to install proprietary drivers for nvidia [16:53] Are you talking about reiserfs? If you cant trust the gyy to clean up the bloodsplatters...\ [16:54] WDC: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=3440811 <- that may help [16:54] HNSZ: He hid the body pretty well [16:54] sz90: i hgave the drivers installed... now i need to get my second monitor working [16:54] LSD|Ninja: iwpriv eh? Iĺl remember that when I connect with my old Pentium3-laptop [16:54] jorritlinnert: Last I heard though, they were working on some drivers that did do wpa_supplicant but I have noi idea what the status is on those [16:54] LSD: I've seen a talk from him on googletechtalks, He is a pretty lovable guy ;) [16:55] how can i mount xp-linux partiton? [16:55] LSD|Ninja: that would be great, because our school uses 802.1x [16:55] jorritlinnert: I'm thinking I'll just stick with Intel or Atheros in the future for WiFi [16:55] how can i mount xp-linux partition? [16:55] I need help connecting my TI-84+ calculator. I'm trying to connect to it with TILP2, but it keeps "timing out." [16:55] : I've done this with ati cards, not nvidia (unfortunately). Isn't there an option in the nvidia server settings application to set up a second screen. [16:55] what should i do [16:56] LSD|Ninja: Me too, but that old laptop doesn't understand Cardbus32, only PCMCIA [16:56] Is it possible to play .pcm files through SDPIF in ubuntu? cus i cant get it to work properly. I've tried VLC and Mplayer? [16:56] sz90: i dont think i have that [16:56] jorritlinnert: :( [16:56] srboritez: You might try iwpriv as LSD|Ninja suggested [16:56] hmm, you might have to install it manually. give me a sec to look up the package name. [16:57] package is nvidia-settings [16:57] LSD|Ninja: Yes, my lap is a fossil. Currently it runs quite happily on FluxBox. [16:57] srboritez: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=342528 [16:57] the application is in system > administration > nvidia settings [16:57] jorritlinnert:  [16:57] wlan0 no private ioctls. [16:57] sz90: ok.. let me install [16:58] srboritez: Also, you need to have the ra0 interface DOWN before you can set teh SSID iirc [16:58] ??? [16:58] srboritez: LSD|Ninja is more of an expert on this than I am. Listen to him/ her [16:58] srboritez: if pre-up does what I think it does then the examples in that thread should have you covered [16:59] ok thx ill try [16:59] Can anyone help me connect my TI-84 Plus calculator? [16:59] is 100 mb enough for the boot partition [16:59] srboritez: np [16:59] mizo666: more than big enough [16:59] mizo666: why do you need a /boot partition anyway? [17:00] LSD|Ninja: thx for your useful suggestions. [17:00] genius: does it show up under lsusb? [17:00] sz90: i know you havnt used it.. but im getting an error when it tries to save the x config... its saying it cant create a backup of xorg.conf [17:00] LSD|Ninja: because i read that making the boot partition ext2 instead of ext3 makes booting faster [17:00] how can i change my swap partition, i have been setting it to 10% of my HDD which now seems a little too much [17:00] and it kind of makes sense [17:00] mizo666: I don't see how [17:01] ext2 is simpler [17:01] Can anyone suggest a WindowManager that would allow you to start a program on a specific X-screen (not display)? [17:01] mizo666: not really [17:01] try running it as root (gksu nvidia-settings) [17:01] ok [17:02] no? ext3=ext2+journalling, therefore ext2 is simpler than ext3 [17:02] mizo666: they store the data identically [17:02] Hello [17:02] jorritlinnert, do you mean specific desktop/workspace? [17:02] mizo666, I think there were other changes as well. [17:02]  LSD|Ninja: i use zd1211-firmware [17:03] like the fact that in ext3 you can't undelete [17:03] unop, no I mean WindowManager. [17:03] jorritlinnert, yes, but i am not sure what you mean by X-screen there [17:03] Does somebody know to use CompizConfig? [17:03] unop: I use Xinerama on a nVidia 6200 GPU using nVidia drivers [17:03] sz90: can't undelete? not even with specialized tools? [17:04] jorritlinnert, i believe fluxbox can do this then, though you'd need to verify [17:04] mizo666, I remember reading somewhere that ext3 doesn't just unlink the data from the file system, but it zero part of the innode or something like that. The data probably could still be recovered by a forensics team, but there's no simple unerase command as there was in ext2 [17:05] unop: I want VLC to start on my widescreen monitor whenever a DVD Video pops in. I've got it working so that it does start, but on the wrong monitor. [17:05] , how goes it? [17:05] unop: Iĺl try to find some FluxBox parameters that would let me do that. [17:06] sz90: working..kinda... if i try to drag an app from one monitor to the other... it wond go to the other one.. but the monitor its on scrolls === c is now known as Charitwo [17:06] going back and forth between the workspaces i thik [17:06] Anybody here from the Philippines?

[17:07] ok.. ikonia ill try that [17:07] FFEMTcJ: You can enable Xineram in the nvidia-settings panel [17:07] FFEMTcJ: I'm assuming your using xinerama - and not the nvidia or ati propritary stuff [17:07] @Ikonia: Just asking because I'm form PI [17:08] Tuxie, /join #ubuntu-ph [17:08] FFEMTcJ: What GPU are you using?

[17:11] gradin: That can be done through grub when it's compiled with network capabilities. [17:11] gradin: it depends on the router a lot [17:11] ikonia: I've got no idea what protocol it is supposed to be, I assume its some sort of http login. [17:11] * Myrtti checks last.fm forums [17:11] gradin: You can then use bootp to boot from the NIC chip [17:11] FFEMTcJ: xinerama + 3d acceleration (compiz) are known to have issues) [17:11] IC thanks a lot [17:12] anyone using aterisk, please prvt me.

[17:16] Nelson_Apart: I personally think vsftpd is the only one to use [17:16] i'd disagree and say proftpd is nice [17:16] gradin: thanks for that statment, and its utter pointlessness [17:17] wproftpd [17:17] FFEMTcJ: Did you use the repository of Ubuntu, or did you use envy or something?

[17:17] someone has any idea about it? [17:17] ikonia: what i meant is the default "locked" proproprietary linux that comes installed is crap [17:17] how would i block an internal ip address from getting on the internet via iptables? [17:17] Mohammad[B]: irssi works with every DE or WM you can imagine :P [17:17] sakhi: this channel is for ubuntu conversation only, not centos or recruiting people for private chats about centos [17:18] FFEMTcJ: That's the same way I did it, yes. Did you update afterwards? [17:18] ya [17:18] cpierce_: DROP anything originating from or being sent to that IP I imagagine [17:18] cpierce_: -S $source_IP -j DROP [17:18] ikonia: you missed the point from the start, no said anything about recruiting.

[17:19] gradin, why dont you check the suggestions I have given you [17:19] ikonia: that's what macBook implies, yes [17:19] but apparently/last bazhang [17:19] FFEMTcJ: Could you post your X Config file to the pastebin?

[17:21] eric: please ask [17:21] its about ubuntu [17:21] Tuxie: everything should more or less work except the wireless at this point but I have a feeling that Intrepid is going to cover that base too [17:21] dury: if you ask a question [17:21] Genius314: is this an Ubuntu related question? if not ikonia will direct you to another room. [17:21] well anyway the tricky part is the dhcp server, i've been able to pxe boot it to the installer but apparently the installer needs to download stuff from the internet... === eric is now known as Guest73692 [17:21] sakhi: yes, I will [17:21] sakhi, take chat elsewhere [17:21] Kindly, please give a try to sync your ubuntu system with one of Malaysia ubuntu archive servers.

[17:31] i already have panel on here [17:31] is anyone else familiar with nvidia/multiple monitors and compiz type stuff [17:31] installing msttfonts seems to chock at one of the exe, and now everytime I install some other packages (like lame), it will go and do the post-install stuffs (download fonts from sourceforge) all over again and again. === valerie is now known as Irishmanluke [17:31] I have a question involving sound. If I play sound through my browser, it won't play in a media player until I close the browser, and the same vice versa. Does anybody have any idea what this could be?

[17:33] Osse, I'm glad to say it! =) It finally "just works" hehe. And I do think it's a bit more practical than NFS, in that it's easy to add new and browse for shares for say when I just want to transfer a couple of files without actually moving them on the source PC. [17:33] Laozi: can two other applications play music together? use the media player and something else. [17:33] Hey everyone [17:34] hey [17:34] !welcome [17:34] Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [17:34] sherkin, does sudo fdisk -l also complain about partition sizes?

I have a quick question, being new to Ubuntu: I'm setting up a hotkey to mimick Windows's win-e launching of an explorer, but which command would launch Computer? [17:35] thanks for answering unop [17:35] mightypea, I believe it is nautilus [17:35] I pasted some details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39937/ [17:35] Laozi: do you know what in the browser plays the music? is it flash or java or other stuffs? [17:35] ykphuah, flash [17:35] does anyone know how to work with .bin files in ubuntu? I'm a windows user getting used to linux, and want to update my java jre [17:36] Sherkin: just type 'nautilus', then? And would Nautilus automatically open in Computer? [17:36] Laozi: give me the URL, I haven't tried it myself. :) [17:36] amerikan`, install from synaptic [17:36] Guest73692, not in PM, in channel [17:36] bazhang: synaptic? [17:36] I use nautilus as less as possible, but I'll try [17:36] mightypea: Try: nautilus computer:/// [17:36] Err, I mean arakthor [17:36] Will do, genius [17:36] amerikan` you need to make it executable and use full path to execute it [17:36] ykphuah, haha, just use any youtube video or any flash embedded media, it doesn't seem to make a difference what URL it is to me [17:36] hey [17:36] amerikan`, yes; synaptic package manager [17:36] ok sry [17:36] inik, no, not for that [17:36] excellent, that works [17:36] Thanks a lot, guys! [17:37] success ikonia [17:37] Laozi: ok hang on there, let me try it out. [17:37] inik: make the .bin executable? [17:37] Is there a way to find out if a certain mouse has drivers for linux before I buy it? [17:37] i have to add to panel window open [17:37] I was annoyed that it seemed like Gnome's included hotkey program was so limited, but it seems the configuration editor works wonderfully [17:37] wut should i type? [17:37] How do I do a symlink from one folder into another? I've tried about 50 different ways and I can't seem to get it right [17:37] Guest73692, do you see notification area as one the choices [17:37] amerikan`, java is available from the repositories [17:37] ? [17:37] mavs: why would you need the drivers? Which mouse is it? [17:37] amerikan`, why don't you use the ubuntu packages instead? [17:37] no [17:37] Under windows at least, I've hardly ever had a need for drivers [17:38] inik, dont install that way [17:38] err amerikan` not inik sorry [17:38] amerikan`: go to System->Administration->Synaptics, and search for jre, does it have the version you want? [17:38] sherkin, what is /deb/sdb5 ? [17:38] should i click properties? [17:38] amerikan`: what is the file? from distribution? [17:39] i'm looking for some help with LXDE... does anyone know a channel where i could get some assistance [17:39] bazhang : why use sinaptic for binary packages [17:39] sharperguy, ln -s /path/to/target_directory /path/to/symlink [17:39] inik, never choose when it is in repos; it breaks the package management system otherwise [17:39] bazhang [17:39] wut should i do next? [17:40] inik, and java is installable via package manager [17:40] what is a good subversion system? [17:40] unop: My new drive was sdb (external) until I physically installed it as unique drive sda in my laptop [17:40] unop, I think I've messed it up I just did that and now when trying to CD into the link it says too many levels of symbolic links [17:40] how do you copy a cd or dvd but ignore the toc and create a new one? [17:40] bazhang: maybe you right . but flash player installed from bin file [17:40] ok thx [17:40] bye [17:40] sharperguy, delete the symlink and try again .. make sure you aren't creating a symlink to another symlink [17:40] is there any part of ubuntu wiki dedicated to gameplay recording? [17:40] sorry if someone answered and I missed it [17:41] unop, I'm not [17:41] Thank you bazhang and inik for helping :) [17:41] testing phirestalker [17:41] dang didn't beep [17:41] Laozi: hah! it happens to me as well, guess its the flash plugin who doesn't use alsa properly. [17:41] Who will VNC my Ubuntu machine and help me set up MadWifi? [17:41] HAAAA [17:42] mightypea: nautilus reports wrong size too [17:42] KOJV: i can [17:42] KOJV, not a wise suggestion [17:42] bazhang, how come? [17:42] inik, great, pm me. [17:42] ykphuah, yeah, any ideas on how to fix that? [17:42] lxde help anyone? [17:43] isn't this xchat program supposed to beep when my name is typed in or does it ignore when I type my own name? [17:43] Laozi: hey, I haven't tried this in ubuntu before, you can try starting firefox using aoss firefox [17:43] phirestalker, test? [17:43] hm, that might work [17:43] aha!!! it works :) [17:43] Laozi: it worked for another application that I was using previously, in suse. [17:43] thanks [17:44] phirestalker, Mine doesn't =( Know where the setting is? [17:44] Greets. My upgrade from gutsy to hardy has locked up in localedef. [17:44] KOJV, don't blame the other guy when your box is hijacked [17:44] pettter, cancel it out; reboot and choose previous kernel and run again [17:44] unop, parted reports there are errors, but how can I fix them ? [17:44] ykphuah, that didn't work :( [17:44] i think the msfonts package is screwed. [17:44] Twod: well if you click on setting and then under advanced there is a text events option [17:45] phirestalker, I think I found it. Looks like a grid of checkboxes and events, right? [17:45] Twod: and under there see if there is a beep option with your nick in the next column [17:45] right [17:45] phirestalker, works now, thanks! [17:45] bazhang: Well I can't cancel, stracing the process locks up the strace as well, and the localedef doesn't respond to either SIGSTOP or SIGKILL [17:45] how do I add the universe repository to synaptic [17:45] I'll try rebooting and run again, though, if you think that might work [17:46] amerikan`: System>Admin>software Sources [17:46] sherkin, i think your problem is that you did things like cp /dev/sdXX /dev/sdXX .. it's not the way to copy partitions .. use something like tar or rsync or dd instead === SoulSlayer is now known as anewbie [17:46] pettter, is this via terminal or synaptic [17:46] amerikan`, software sources [17:46] bazhang: Upgrade manager, since that seems to be the only supported way of doing a dist-upgrade [17:46] a program to join and watch many parts of a video ?

[17:52] sherkin, something like. rsync -HaAX /source/ /destination/ [17:52] KOJV, the one that you give access to that you don't know [17:53] bazhang: this month wasn't so many upgrades as july [17:53] ompaul, how would that happen? [17:53] Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package [17:53] That's the message it gave me. [17:53] peng [17:53] rlg, you install ubuntu-restricted-extras yet? [17:53] thanks, unop, I'll try this [17:53] KOJV, you offered vnc control to someone [17:53] rlg: check System>Admin>software sources [17:53] ompaul, yes...? :S [17:54] Can anyone help me getting my videocard working right? [17:54] bazhang: or maybe the system it's already upgraded successfully [17:54] !nvidia | douye [17:54] ompaul, I'm constantly watching him work. [17:54] sherkin, but .. you will have to recreate the filesystems on those devices that are complaining about filesystem sizes [17:54] douye: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:54] dury, what kernel === [ID]-4164 is now known as georgeZl [17:54] sherkin, otherwise you will still have the problems [17:54] bazhang: tell me the command to send you the kernel, please [17:55] uname -a dury [17:55] gaah, can't get artwiz to work on fluxbox :O [17:55] unop, the strange thing is that fsck tells all is clean [17:55] how do you copy a cd or dvd but ignore the table-of-contents and create a new one? [17:55] bazhang: great... wait a second [17:55] I got everything checked on there except source code. [17:55] Hi all.. whats the consensus on KDE 4.1? anyone using it? [17:55] rlg, you install the restricted extras package yet? [17:56] erUSUL: yeah uhm.. that doesnt work >.> [17:56] That one's not showing. [17:56] asdrey, this is not a chat channel [17:56] Got a command on that? [17:56] sherkin, the problem here is that your partition size is greater than the filesystem size .. your filesystems are ok, so fsck doesn't complain. it's like you have a 2litre container but have only filled it up with 1litre of content - if that makes sense. [17:56] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras rlg === amerikan` is now known as amerikan [17:56] just one question can't remember how [17:56] bazhang: 2.6.24-19-generic [17:56] how do i end x [17:57] !doesntwork | douye [17:57] spell checker is not working for me in Xchat ? [17:57] douye: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [17:57] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop? [17:57] dury, that is up to date kernel-wise; best to apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to be sure though [17:57] sherkin, that's a side effect of using a raw copy to duplicate partitions. [17:57] any suggestion on how to enable that ? [17:57] ok It's already got the newest version it says. [17:57] unop, gparted tells the partition is 100G and 98% full [17:58] What is a good C++ compiler for ubuntu? [17:58] sivaji, in the preferences? xchat or xchat-gnome [17:58] erUSUL: you nuthead -.- at hardware driver it says im running the driver, but i cant select extra special effects (gives a error..) and i cannot select the correct screen resolution (1280*800).. so it doesnt work linking that link [17:58] my friend burnt me a cd of pictures, but it takes forever to load in nautilus. I typed cdck in a terminal and it said "! TOC and lseek() return different information about size.." am I right to assume that this is the problem? and if so how can I fix it (make a clean copy of the disc maybe?) [17:58] rlg, what does about:plugins show in ff [17:58] unop, what if I ask gparted to resize partition a small amount [17:58] xchat [17:58] sherkin, but parted shows this. Warning: Partition 2 is 32.2GB, but the file system is 31.7GB. [17:59] or parted [17:59] sherkin, i'm afraid gparted only resizes partitions .. not the actual filesystems contained in them. [17:59] sivaji, second tab preferences input box check spell check [17:59] sherkin, or parted even. [18:00] yeah its checked still its not working for me [18:00] sivaji, try mis-spelling something; does it not have a red underline? [18:00] Derault, demo print, divx, divx web player, helix dna, itues, mplayer, quicktime 6.0 and 7.2 , reaplayer, shockwave flash, totem, vlc 2 plugins, windows media, 2 plugins [18:00] nope fafjsdjfj [18:01] is it possible to use nautilus instead of f-spot in the camera-import dialog? I don't know the location of my camera (nothing in /media) [18:01] unop, I'm afraid I disagree: gparted resizes fs with partitions, transparently [18:01] sivaji, spell check only checks; you have to correct :) [18:01] sivaji, with a red line underneath [18:01] no red line [18:02] sivaji, and you have spell check enabled? that is odd. what version of xchat and of ubuntu [18:02] Can anyone help me getting my videocard working right? [18:03] google results says that i need to install libsexy2 libsexy-dev, i just installed these two lib shall i restart xchat and check it ? [18:03] sherkin, that's definitely true if the filesystem fully occupies a partition .. but that's not the case presently. you could try it out, but i am sceptical [18:03] Mic__hael: althought many cameras functon as a mass storege device there others that need special treatment so nautilus can not hndle them you need something like f-spot gtkam or gthum [18:03] ubuntu 8.04 and xchat 2.8.4 from ubuntu repository [18:03] sivaji, that sounds odd; never had to do that here-->what version of xchat, also ask in xchat about isntalling those #xchat [18:04] ok [18:04] bazhang: well I wouldn't ask in #xchat unless sivaji is certain he's using xchat and not xchat-gnome [18:04] kitche, he says xchat [18:04] thanks [18:05] yeah xchat [18:05] ubuntu 8.04 and xchat 2.8.4 from ubuntu repository [18:05] thanks erUSUL that seems to be the case with my camera indeed [18:05] * sivaji going to restart xchat [18:05] Mic__hael: no problem [18:05] whats the difference between ext3 and fat32? I just got a large external hd that I am using to back up my music collection, but I want my PS3 to also be able to read it directly, so I think fat32 is my only option. Any cons to using FAT32 over ext3? [18:06] ezzieyguywuf: well fat32 has a file size limit really [18:07] bazhang still its not working [18:07] ezzieyguywuf, it depends on how your PS3 will access the data .. if you are sharing over a network, use extX [18:07] goood mornign [18:07] sivaji, lets head to #xchat [18:07] kitche: is that the only difference? i mean, i guess if i wanted to put video files up it might be a problem. I might put it up over a network, but i want to ensure that i can connect straight to the ps3 as well [18:07] hey whats the command to connect to another server [18:07] i forget [18:07] ? [18:08] ok [18:08] ezzieyguywuf, FATXX suffers from fragmentation and other performance issues too [18:08] ./connect ? [18:08] has anyone used kbarcode in the ubuntu 8.04 and have not print out right it worked fine in ubutu 7.10 the print comes out very small even if i in large the letter size === CShadowRun is now known as cshadowrun [18:08] hi all [18:08] hi [18:08] surger, depends .. what kind of a server is this? [18:08] svh, only one of the types of barcode worked for me on that. [18:08] unop: thanks for the info. Maybe i'll partition part of my hd into fat32 and only store my compressed music files there [18:09] unop, whats the normal command? [18:09] i'm new user for ubuntu.. [18:09] svh, keep on fiddling around with it till you find the one. [18:09] ezzieyguywuf, i would suggest otherwise. [18:09] it was as simple as ./connect 'server name' [18:09] unop, gparted is working ... ending with efsck -f -y -v /dev/sda5 [18:09] surger, depending on what the server hosts -- there are many ways [18:09] but that isnt working so i must be missing something [18:09] unop: how so? === cshadowrun is now known as CShadowRun [18:09] Hello. [18:09] hi [18:10] thank you [18:10] yw [18:10] ezzieyguywuf, if you care about your data and it's integrity, use a filesystem that supports journaling (FAT doesn't) [18:10] I'm looking for a philosophy/business channel. [18:10] surger, connect is not a valid command. again, what kind of a server is this? [18:11] unop: wel, i will have all my music uncompressed on fat32 in flac format. the partition will be in fat32 for my mp3s (cuz ps3 doesn't recognize ogg) so that i can play them on the ps3. i think it is a good solution if i have enough space [18:11] <_Progress_> hi, i install ubuntu 8.04. Everythikg is just fine. But svg icons not work in gnome? [18:11] im not sure unop [18:11] <_Progress_> any ideas [18:11] whats a valid command, gimmie a couple [18:11] #ubuntu-cn [18:11] #ubuntu_cn [18:11] Who will VNC my Ubuntu machine and help me set up MadWifi? [18:11] can i chat whith any girl? [18:11] surger, ftp, ssh, smbget, smbclient, wget, etc [18:12] KOJV: If your card is supported there's nothing to set up, you just selet your network from teh drop down list and enter your passocde [18:12] ezzieyguywuf, if your PS3 connects to your data over a network share -- the filesystem does not matter, infact the PS3 does not know what kind of filesystem you use .. so, if that's the case, choose ext over fat [18:12] hi, as I don't own a tv, I often watch movies on the pc but Ubuntu does not show various of my DVDs ... [18:13] LSD|Ninja, several forum posts indicate that I need to install the latest MadWifi beta in order to use my card, a Dlink DWA-547... but MadWifi gives all kinds of errors upon make. [18:13] unop: i know, but i would also like to be able to connect straight to the ps3. i don't want my hd to be tethered to my laptop [18:14] KOJV: what ship do you have on there? [18:14] chip* [18:14] ezzieyguywuf, right you are. fat32 then :) [18:14] LSD|Ninja, some Atheros thingie, according to the forums. [18:14] unop: haha thanks for your help [18:14] KOJV: I know it's Atheros, but which one? [18:14] LSD|Ninja, how do I figure that out? Can't you VNC my machine and have a look? [18:15] what can i type to join a different channel? [18:15] frostbyt3, /join #channel [18:15] /join #channel [18:15] thanks! [18:15] noob question: trying to get a belkin N1 card working on ubuntu 8,04 [18:15] hello all [18:16] !wireless | ub_ [18:16] ub_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:16] a software to watch several parts of a video ? [18:16] join them and watch as if they were one [18:16] I need some help to install Ubuntu on a computer that has no floppy, cdrom driver all I can do is boot from network so any one could help ? [18:16] wathek, what about usb [18:16] !install > wathek [18:16] wathek, please see my private message [18:17] ..*please* tell me there's a web editor that allows you to drag and drop images into it somewhere. I reall, really don't want to skip to windows over /this/. [18:17] bazhang, can't boot on USB [18:17] wathek, then unetbootin [18:17] hello folks... i got a question [18:17] how do I install curl? [18:17] bazhang, unebootin ? [18:17] melvinram: apt-get install curl [18:17] Baughn, bluefish, nvu [18:18] thanks, ubottu. i will read that before asking a bunch of stoopid questions. [18:18] unop: nvu just crashes. Bluefish.. isn't wysiwyg? [18:19] k thanx [18:19] my friend burnt me a cd of pictures, but it takes forever to load in nautilus. I typed cdck in a terminal and it said "! TOC and lseek() return different information about size.." am I right to assume that this is the problem? and if so how can I fix it (make a clean copy of the disc maybe?) [18:19] unop: I'm not going to throw a non-wysiwyg editor at users who can't even figure out how to copy images on their own [18:19] so i'm getting lock errors with NFS and when i mount my /home via NFS firefox and xchat don;'t work... [18:19] phirestalker: That's more of a symptom of a bad burn [18:19] phirestalker, why not have him give it to you on usb key or reburn cd [18:20] phirestalker: "TOC says the disk is one size, but it's actually another size (probably less)" <-- Bad burn. [18:20] Baughn, well I could do that and I figured it was a bad burn but I was hoping it was only the toc that got messed up and I could reburn creating toc from the actual data? [18:20] Hello why mine Emerald Theme Men don't work [18:20] any Ubuntu alternative to AnyDVD out there? [18:20] i upload skin but nothing dont change [18:20] unop: Oh yeah. That, and DnD to bluefish doesn't work, so regardless.. [18:21] juro, what features in particular [18:21] phirestalker: You could try, but you almost certainly won't get all the images it's supposed to have [18:21] phirestalker: Much better to ask for a new copy [18:21] well backing up my dvd collection [18:21] how to check how much human users have been created on ubuntu server?( do i have to check /etc/group or /home ) [18:21] Baughn, kompozer perhaps [18:21] isn't there an easier way [18:21] bazhang, well backing up my dvd collection [18:22] ghostlines: ls /home|wc -l [18:22] ghostlines: Is pretty close [18:22] juro, rip to iso? [18:22] unop: No go. Sorry, I've checked all those [18:22] unop, the last operation in gparted was "resize2fs". It worked \o/ [18:22] Baughn, ok, but if I want to try do you know what program will copy the disc and ignore the toc, I tried searching but toc or table-of-contents is WAY too common of term and I came up with nothing === josh__ is now known as KnomeDE [18:22] bazhang, straight onto a writable dvd (on Windows I was using AnyDVD/DVD Shrink) [18:23] !info amaya [18:23] amaya (source: amaya): Web Browser, HTML Editor and Testbed for Draft W3C standards. In component universe, is optional. Version 9.55~dfsg.0-1 (hardy), package size 2282 kB, installed size 7276 kB [18:23] juro, k9copy if you dont mind adding some kde libs works great [18:23] bazhang: is there any downside to this (I am running Gnome ...) [18:24] hi i am creating a new user but i want them to add their own password later, how do do it? [18:24] Baughn, there's also ooweb [18:24] phirestalker: You can't ignore the TOC; it's the only thing telling linux where to find the different parts of the cd [18:24] juro, not unless you a very small hard drive :) [18:24] sherkin, nice [18:24] err have [18:24] Baughn, lol I guess I shoulda figured that :| [18:24] adilson, create the account with no password. [18:24] bazhang: depending on the definition of "small", I am assuming that 200GB is large enough [18:24] juro, no worries then [18:25] phirestalker: The /problem/ is, well.. it claims the cd is larger than it is. The toc is burnt first; if the process fails later, linux will figure out that nope, the cd is not actually that large [18:25] phirestalker: So there are missing bits [18:25] unop, thanks. Your remarks did light up the idea :) [18:25] bazhang: well then thank you! [18:25] np :) [18:25] phirestalker: You can certainly copy in the files that /are/ readable, but.. [18:25] adilson, it should force the user to create a password on the first login. [18:26] adilson, users can change their passwords once they have logged on with passwd [18:26] arrrghhh, errm, how do they logon without a password? :) [18:26] My locales seems to be pretty FUBAR, localedef hangs every time... [18:26] bazhang: Any ideas? [18:26] pettter, you rebooted into previous kernel? [18:26] unop, i thought i did that before, and on login it forces the user to create a pass... [18:26] bazhang, sorry to hijack, but doesn't that k9copy ONLY remove css and none of the newer protections like anydvd does or has it been updated? [18:27] arrrghhh, unop: oh ok but I wish to fix their account before they use it and allow them to change pass afterwards, is there a way to get icewm to log in on their account only? [18:27] arrrghhh, hmm, maybe that's a gnome/kde thing .. but i should think it is not possible [18:27] phirestalker, not sure as I have not tried that with the latest DRM [18:27] arrrghhh: It's impossible to login /without/ a password. I suppose you mean with an empty password? [18:27] i'll try it again and see if you guys really want lol [18:27] arrrghhh: (Well, modulo ssh keys, setuid binaries, or whatever..) [18:27] bazhang: I've rebooted several times, run dpkg --configure -a and ^C'd any attempts to compile locales so the upgrade could finish somewhat [18:28] Baughn, no i'm not talkin about that. local logins. [18:28] I hardly think it is a kernel problem.. [18:28] pettter, you need to get into grub and boot from the 14 kernel (assuming you are on 15 now) [18:28] Baughn, thanks for the help, I think I will wait for nautilus to load the cd and then copy all the files off and burn a new dvd of them, that way even if I am missing files it will load faster [18:28] arrrghhh: just use empty passwords as suggested the the user sets the pass with passwd [18:28] pettter, that is the workaround for now; you can check launchpad otherwise [18:29] erUSUL, uh that's what i was suggesting and others said it wasn't possible [18:29] adilson, well, setup their accounts as normal .. make sure they are given the initial passwords and give them instructions on how to change it. as for icewm, i am not sure how to do that, you could possibly lock out all accounts that you don't want logging on. [18:29] Right, thanks.. [18:29] unop: ooweb does allow you to drop images in. Sadly, it fails the "copy image to web folder" test; even worse, it fails the "actually understand html and generate a non-moronic mess" test [18:29] Oh well. Windows, here we come. [18:29] arrrghhh: sorry may have adressed the wrong nick ;) [18:29] Weird bug, though... [18:29] erUSUL, lol np [18:29] adilson: just use empty passwords as suggested the the user sets the pass with passwd [18:30] is there a reason why I have to close an application for another to be able to use sound? i.e. firefox & youtube has to close for me to hear anything on vlc. And, is there a fix? [18:31] chippy: maybe you just need libflashsupport so flash can use pulseadio ?? [18:31] unop: well their is going to be three accounts "with me as admin" the other two i want them to use icewm on fluxbox while my account stays with xubuntu [18:31] chippy, are you using pulseaudio or alsa? i've never experienced that [18:31] chippy: Pulseaudio is supposed to be the fix, but you need to make ff use it [18:31] lol [18:31] chippy: Alternately, get a real sound card that can mix in hardware [18:31] Better sound quality, too [18:31] how do I "use" pulseaudio? [18:31] I'm on an old Dell laptop [18:31] arrrghhh, i just tried this out - though i don't use gnome .. the user account needs a password to log in if at the console. [18:31] ^ what ykphuah said :) [18:31] ykphuah: YOU don't. The application writers do. [18:32] unop, yes at the console... i thought we were talking about with gdm/kdm.... [18:32] Baughn: actually pulseaudio is the reason why it's not working really from all the things that I have seen in this channel [18:32] chippy: Another option would be to use dmix, which can be rather more transparent [18:32] chippy, if you really want flash/pulseaudio to work, try that link : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5587712&postcount=472 [18:32] Baughn: so I just install it will do? [18:32] how can I upload files to a frontpage server? [18:32] kitche: If you mean "pulseaudio sucks", then yes [18:32] erisco, ftp it [18:32] arrrghhh, well, i dont see how the GDM/KDM can log a user on [18:32] chippy, but I cant say for sure that it would work :) [18:32] ykphuah: Some assembly required. I don't know how it works on ubuntu, these days [18:32] arrrghhh, it doesn't support ftp [18:32] unop, i swewar it works [18:33] erisco, are you paying for this? [18:33] if i block user from using audio devices can tey still get sound and increase it when they want? [18:33] Hey all, I am using PuTTY to connect to my ubuntu instance and was running a php script... well it failed and didnt go back to the bash prompt...how do I force it back to prompt....? [18:33] arrrghhh, paying for the server? no [18:33] sdwrage: ^C ^ is ctrl [18:33] erisco, i was gonna say... i would never pay for a web host that doesn't support a basic ftp... [18:33] arrrghhh, as far as I have ever been able to tell, it only supports frontpage extensions [18:33] ykphuah, chippy: The best option is, now and always, to get a sound card that has a hardware mixer [18:33] I'm on an old Dell laptop [18:33] hello [18:33] kitche that didnt do anything [18:34] erisco, suck. i don't think kompozer can publish to frontpage extensions but it's worth a shot. [18:34] oh ctrl c [18:34] chippy: Then you'll have to have fun with pulseaudio and/or dmix [18:34] arrrghhh: I would unless it doesn't haev any file upload cap. [18:34] and, also, for what its worth, I wasn't experienceing these sound issues with flash on Feisty... [18:34] got it [18:34] thx [18:34] it used to be as easy as aoss firefox [18:34] if i block user from using audio devices can they still get sound and increase it when they want? [18:34] kitche, what? [18:34] i just installed the brutal chess for ubuntu, when i open the game the screen flashes on, then goes away!!! whats going on? [18:34] chippy: Ayup, hardy's decision to use pulseaudio was.. bad. It's /not ready/. [18:35] Baughn, ahh [18:35] Thanks guys :) you've given me good leads! [18:35] chippy: Now, for the solution [18:35] arrrghhh, I will give it a shot then [18:35] chippy: Setup dmix. Configure pulseaudio to use dmix. Configure the alsa default to use dmix. [18:35] erisco, good luck! [18:35] I thought dmix is default in alsa. [18:35] arrrghhh, heh, adduser doesn't even like a blank password [18:35] chippy: Things that use pulseaudio will end up using dmix. Things that use alsa will use dmix. It'll all work. [18:36] ykphuah: No. It may be the default in alsa on ubuntu, but.. [18:36] Baughn, ok. will give it a truy [18:36] unop, yea via console i don't think it'll work... [18:36] chippy: Latency and sound quality will suffer, but you /do/ have an old laptop [18:36] yep :) [18:36] arrrghhh, somehow i seriously find this hard to believe. but anyway... [18:36] Hi.. anyone any tips on using Ubuntu on a 1024x600 display? Ideally i'd like to be able to scroll 1024x768, but no luck :( [18:36] unop, i can do it again if you'd like me to prove it [18:37] chazco: I am on 1024*800. [18:37] chazco: You can set a larger virtual resolution than the physical one in xorg.conf [18:37] is there 1024*600?? [18:37] what system is that? [18:37] i just created a new user w/o any password. lemme try to login with that new user now. [18:37] arrrghhh, well, i'd like to know how you set a _blank_ password for a user in the first place. [18:38] > 600 * 16/10 [18:38] 960.0 [18:38] ykphuah - Its working at 1024x600 but some stuff doenst fit on the display... Baughn - tried that (lots), no luck [18:38] unop: I thought you can just passwd enter enter. [18:38] ykphuah, No password supplied [18:38] chazco: ..how doyou get 1024x600, anyhow? that's a /weird/ display size [18:38] Baughn - If you can explain how to get a virtual resolution working that'd be great though [18:38] Baughn - Its a netbook laptop [18:38] chazco: Sorry. Haven't done it in.. ten years, I think [18:38] heh ok :) [18:38] ykphuah, then passwd: Authentication token manipulation error, passwd: password unchanged [18:39] unop: as root? [18:40] I'm trying to run unreal tournament 2004 in linux, and everything almost works fine except the sound is very crackly when I run it. I also can't figure out how to get my mouse to move outside of it (it captures _everything_ and I can't take my mouse back or run kbd commands) [18:40] I'm running it native, not in wine, btw [18:40] hi, I want to view CNN's electoral map but it uses flash, and it complains that i have version 10 when it wants version 8 (in actually I have version 9) what should I do? [18:41] level1: Are you sure it isn't complaining that it /wants/ version 10? [18:41] a i get ight in ubuntu? [18:41] bazhang: maybe you can help me with another problem. sometime, when I insert dvds, I get a "cannot read from resource" error. how can I debug this? [18:41] droopsta915: ry a im ana [18:41] ykphuah, well, if i want to change my own passwd, i don't need to be root .. but even as root. [18:41] level1: email them and tell them their site doesn't work for you, this is a good way to get sites to support Gnu/Linux [18:41] unop, strange. it accepted the blank password on the new user creation, but gdm wouldn't let the user login w/o a password. now when i went ctrl-alt-f1 and logged in with that new user, root enforced me to create a new password for that user. [18:42] sorry, wireless keyboard, how can i get my chess game to work? it opens then closes right away? [18:42] juro: To begin with, check dmesg to make sure there are no read errors [18:42] arrrghhh: I think its just a setting in GDM [18:42] Hello, Can someone help me to install an AverMedia TV card PCMCIA in Ubuntu Hardy?, I've problems to set up this card. Thanks. [18:42] droopsta915: Start it from a terminal window, hope for error messages [18:42] the system should not disallow those. [18:42] Baughn: thanx [18:42] Ubuntu keeps on locking up/freezing at what appears to be random intervals. I'm forced to hard reboot - anyone have any information on this? [18:42] droopsta915: Oh, and it may be time to replace the batteries [18:42] ykphuah, and kde. i created the user in kde, but my login manager is gdm. [18:42] will try [18:42] Baughn: This CNN.com feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 8 or higher. You are current using Flash Player 10 [18:42] <_Progress_> hi, i install ubuntu 8.04. Everythikg is just fine. But svg icons not work in gnome? Any ideas? [18:42] arrrghhh, heh .. that's not what i experienced .. without a password. login fails [18:42] started streaming via xbmc xbox and then i stopped, i attemped to try the sam vid again and now it says connection refused, any ideas [18:42] ykphuah, however, gdm didn't let my user login w/o a password. [18:42] math: There are all /sorts/ of possibilities. Hardware, of course. [18:42] arrrghhh: I remember kdm have a setting for it, not sure about gdm. [18:43] math: To begin with, find your ubuntu installation cd again and let it run memtest overnight [18:43] level1: well it says or higher so it should work but flash 10 changed a lot of stuff [18:43] they can even prevent you from logging in as root, i mean, for systems that you can login as root. [18:43] what is the compiz-extra package called in ubuntu ? [18:43] juro, you have libdvdcss2 installed from www.medibuntu.org ? [18:43] Baughn: cat /var/log/dmesg | grep -i error ... should do the trick, right? [18:43] kitche: well, yeah, except i'm not even running 10, i'm running 9 [18:43] juro: Not really. [18:43] juro: Try dmesg | tail -n 20 [18:43] math: I bet you its your graphics card [18:43] juro: Or just dmesg [18:44] bazhang: some dvds work, so I am using so - also, I use vlc to watch dvds [18:44] arrrghhh, ykphuah - in any case .. it's severely insecure to have accounts lying around with _blank_ passwords also being able to log on [18:44] level1: are you sure that you are doesn't sound like it to me [18:44] juro, might be worth checking still [18:44] unop, well that user has _no_ privileges but i see what you're sayin [18:44] kitche: well, unless ubuntu is releasing 10 in the repositories now. Futhermore, I went to the adobe website and adobe said it was 9 [18:44] yo [18:44] what's a good syncml client for ubuntu/gnome? [18:44] kitche: He's on linux. There *isn't* a version 10 for linux out yet. [18:45] Baughn: umm sure there is [18:45] kitche: Well, as beta [18:45] Baughn: ubuntu breifly released a beta but then brought it back [18:45] I get a black screen when remoting to my laptop (both running ubuntu 8.04). I'm connected [18:45] bazhang: , spot on, wasn't installed ---- let me try again ... [18:45] level1: ..someone should tell them "do the opposite of what debian does" is not a good recipe for stability [18:45] what is the compiz-extra package called in ubuntu ? [18:45] arrrghhh, irrespective of privileges .. it's insecure. just because a user does not have write access to many of the system directories, does not mean he can't read/harvest information. [18:46] unop, which is why i see what you're sayin :P [18:46] | <- What is this called? [18:46] unop: Besides, there are a /lot/ more local than remote root exploits [18:46] Arnos: a pipe [18:46] Arnos, pipe [18:46] Arnos: A reverse function composition [18:46] lol [18:46] i tryed the game in the terminal, i got a Warning: xpress200 detected [18:46] but why is CNN even aware of what my supposed flash version is? Can't I just trick CNN into thinking its 9? I ask because i've had this problem for other sites [18:46] bazhang: libdvdcss2 installed, now vlc just closes with message ... [18:47] arrrghhh, so login let you use a passwordless user? [18:47] hi, trying to give brasero a chance (normally use gnomebaker but seen as hardy has chosen brasero thought I'd give it a go) but when I import an mp3 mix (1hour long) it takes about 1-2min to process it, the mouse busy icon remains during this time and if i try to click "burn" it tells me "some tasks are yet to be completed". gnomebaker imports the mp3 in about a second. what is this all about (and are there any hidden settings preferences dialogs th [18:47] juro, physical dvd or rips [18:47] how do i play .m3u (playlist) files on linux (hardy)? i tried audacious; didnt work :( [18:47] unop, gdm didn't... but when i hit ctrl-alt-f1 and su'd to that new passwordless user ROOT required me to create a new UNIX password [18:47] bazhang: also, what was the dvd backuper called (k9something) - I had to reboot [18:47] k9copy juro [18:48] k31to: How is it importing them? Brasero may be trying to make an audio cd, while the other may be making a data cd with an mp3 on it [18:48] bazhang: original dvds -> nothing illegal here! [18:48] arooni________a: doesn't totem do this? [18:48] bazhang: thax [18:48] df [18:48] +n [18:48] why do i get a warning: xpress200 detected, whats this mean? [18:48] Baughn: both are importing for audio cd [18:48] droopsta915: that it detects your video card most likely [18:48] join /Ubuntu-it [18:49] k31to: Perhaps that other program is waiting to convert the mp3 until you actually press "burn", then [18:49] arrrghhh, errm. that means you were logged on as another user (perhaps root) to be able to use su, right? [18:49] Baughn: perhaps the mp3 conversion is taking place during import instead of after pressing burn (which gnomebaker probably does) [18:49] how can i get the game to work? [18:49] k31to: Quite. [18:49] k31to, not sure; files are on a cd [18:49] ubotu compiz-fusion [18:49] k31to: It could even convert it while burning. Of course, that risks buffer underruns [18:49] unop, 1 sec [18:49] sorry how can I enter in the IRC Ubuntu-IT [18:49] mikele: /join #ubuntu-it [18:49] mikele, /j #ubuntu-it [18:49] arrrghhh, besides .. the passwd manpage talks about -d -- Delete a user´s password (make it empty). This is a quick way to disable a password for an account ... [18:49] Thanks guys & Baughn configuring pulseaudio to use dmix has fixed it :) [18:50] o/ [18:50] Can someone explain what the "mux" entry in alsa mixer is for? [18:50] thanks [18:50] hello all, configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH [18:50] can somebody help me [18:50] SpeCon: apt-get install build-essential [18:50] wich c compiler do i need to install ? [18:50] Baughn: still thats quite a long time to wait once dropping an mp3 into the compilation (nero or any other burning app ahs never acted like this) [18:50] SpeCon, install build-essential [18:50] Baughn: okay tnx [18:50] SpeCon, try installing the build-essential package [18:50] k31to: True, and it should be doing it in a separate thread anyhow [18:50] hello [18:50] arooni________a: try playing it in totem (movie player) [18:50] k31to: Call it a design flaw. Most mp3s aren't that long, which would make it a few seconds instead of a minute. [18:51] unop, just had to check. before i logged in with my user and su'd to new_user. it also let me login (when i went to tty2 w/crtl-alt-f2) with new_user and required me to create a new password! [18:51] Baughn: yeah I'm still 32bit single core too ! [18:51] however, gdm will still not let me login passwordless [18:51] whats with the 'UUID=...' in my fstab [18:51] k31to: Or, more precisely, software sucks. All software sucks. [18:51] Baughn: "Old School" [18:51] Baughn: except armagetron ad ;) [18:51] Hello, Can someone help me to install an AverMedia TV card PCMCIA in Ubuntu Hardy?, I've problems to set up this card. Thanks. [18:51] sgillespie, a better strategy -- the names and numbering of device is never guaranteed across reboots. [18:52] sgillespie: That's selecting a disk based on its fdisk-generated (changeable) serial number, instead of merely connection [18:52] Can I get that info from fdisk? [18:52] sgillespie: It's also possible to pick it based on the physical disk serial number, but this way survives moving the data between disks [18:52] sgillespie: ls /dev/disk [18:53] sgillespie: by-id is the burned-in id; by-uuid is the fdisk-created id; either contains symlinks to the real device file. Or at least has the same major/minor as the real one. === izibi_ is now known as izibi [18:53] How do I know which is which? [18:53] Hello, Can someone help me to install an AverMedia TV card PCMCIA in Ubuntu Hardy?, I've problems to set up this card. Thanks. [18:53] Oh I see, its a symlink [18:53] sgillespie: ls -l [18:53] sgillespie, you can find out the uuid with. sudo blkid /dev/device [18:54] (just like you said :)) [18:54] Is there a patch that makes it so the music production apps in the menu get their own category instead of just piling it all into Sound and Video? [18:54] hello, simple question: does the nvidia binary driver update itself? [18:54] sgillespie, it's worth noting that the symlink is created by the kernel on boot (or start of udev) [18:54] I'm going to go ahead UUIDs is not possible with NFS mounts [18:54] what does this mean? Warning, xpress200 detected. Load font: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf [18:54] or does Ubuntu update the nvidia binary driver? [18:54] sgillespie: Of course. That'S what dns is for. :P [18:55] easy enough [18:55] Thanks for answering my questions [18:55] Hello, Can someone help me to install an AverMedia TV card PCMCIA in Ubuntu Hardy?, I've problems to set up this card. Thanks. [18:55] AidanPryde: Ubuntu packages the nvidia driver to make it easier to install for people that don't want to compile [18:55] juanan, is it "linux compatible"?

[18:57] droopsta915, usually a bug in the application that gives you that message [18:57] http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134 juanan did you find it here [18:57] AidanPryde: like I said ubuntu will repackage it for people that don't want to compile the driver so it will be updated most likely when the next release of ubuntu comes out unless there is a security issue with the nvidia driver [18:57] i added a game from ubuntu apps, when opening the game in the terminal i get this. [18:57] hmm [18:57] AidanPryde, you can use the envy application to update it [18:57] kitche: okay, thanks a lot [18:58] envy? [18:58] Warning, xpress200 detected. Load font: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf [18:58] bazhang: thanks, I'm reading it [18:58] AidanPryde: well you could use envyng but if it works why bother really [18:58] Can anyone suggest a good wysiwyg HTML editor?

[19:01] hi, how can i reload my music settings [19:01] kitche: thanks a lot [19:01] juanan, you asked in #ubuntu-mythtv ? [19:01] arrrghhh: Where can I look for it?

[19:06] does that give any output? [19:06] Seveas? you're back? [19:06] Seveas: nothing [19:06] magnetron, no. Just bored, finacee is at a hen night and I'm home alone :) [19:06] firefox has a version of flash 10 (or at least thinks it does), so it reports to CNN that it has flash 10. I can't find where the file is though [19:07] where does firefox keep its plugins?= [19:07] arrrghhh: Yes, I'm reading in myth site, thanks [19:07] Seveas, nice to see you here [19:07] is comand sudo alsaconfig working for u ?? [19:08] Khamael, okay.... I see 3 options: Your hardware isn't supported yet / driver wasn't loaded for unknown reasons / I don't know what I'm talking about. 2 would be easiest to solve: try `sudo modprobe ath_pci` (without ``) and then dmesg. The last few lines of output from the second command should give some hints [19:08] artemis, is that a real question? There is no alsaconfig in my system. [19:08] artemis: alsaconfig is not supported any longer (that has been the case for some time) [19:09] thanks, so how can i configure alsa settings ? and my sound? [19:09] Seveas: after modprobe ath_pci, lsmod | grep ath reports a wlan device [19:09] Khamael, sounds like progress! Does ifconfig or iwconfig list it? [19:09] Hello. I`m using SSH to connect to a server with Ubuntu Server Edition. I´m tired of having to use "sudo" in the beginning of each line, (mkdir, wget, etc). Is there any way to make me root, or using "su" or something? :( [19:09] hey guys! I did some stupid stuff with my iptables and now I don't get any internet traffic! Anyone knows hoe to get everting back how it initially was? [19:10] gurka, sudo -i [19:10] psie, hahahha... sorry, you know this was coming [19:10] Seveas: Thank You. [19:10] psie, flush all chains and set policy to accept. Or simply reboot (unless you save iptables on shutdown and load on boot) [19:10] Seveas: iwconfig doesn`t seem to find anything. maybe I should try disconnecting the cable, and click on nm-applet? [19:11] this desn't help [19:11] hi. this is like the 4th time i'm asking this question. my compiz lags after not having performed any of its effects for about a minute. after lagging for 15 seconds or so (and sometimes *much* longer) , it recovers to its normal smooth operation. someone suggested that it might be because of compiz stuff being cached to the disk. this could be true, as disk read/write demand goes up while it's lagging, but it's not using th [19:11] e swap space, since i turned swap off and it still happened. this is really disturbing to getting any work done, and gnome is no good w/o compiz. anyone have any idea how to fix this? [19:11] Khamael, no need to disconnect to do that. n-m should have caught up by now === third3ye is now known as Bulls3ye [19:12] Khamael if n-m doesn't find it, can you please pastebin the last 20-ish lines from dmesg and the output of ifconfig -a ? [19:12] Seveas: nm-applet doesn`t seem to find anyone, but I have the option of connecting to a "protected" network (running norwegian ubuntu) [19:12] greetings [19:12] so is there a way hoe to get iptables config back to its initial setting? [19:13] how do I check what version of ubunutu I am running ? [19:13] m308, lsb_release -a [19:13] also how do I search for a package using apt-get ? [19:14] psie: well the inital setting is nothing iptables has no rules set [19:14] hi @ all, is there a good video editing tool you guys can advice me to get ? [19:14] sudo apt-cache search [Package name] [19:14] I think [19:14] sudo apt-cache search and packet === Bulls3ye is now known as Third3ye [19:14] fsufitch, haha, gnome is no good without compiz? why? It's just eye candy right? [19:14] m308, aptitude search packagename # to be a little more precise about just packagenames [19:14] psie, pastebin the output of sudo iptables-save; sudo iptables-save -t nat [19:14] hitman1985, Avidemux is one of my favs. =) [19:14] kitche: how can I clear the rules? [19:14] vocx: compiz gives me some stuff i really find useful, such as window grouping [19:15] mahrellon, thank you, is it in the standard repos ? [19:15] how can I save a video from google to my drive ? [19:15] hitman1085: Yeah I think it is. If not just activate the universe repo etc. :) [19:15] psie: well been a while but iptables -F ALL I believe but man iptables can tell you [19:15] is there anyway to save settings of the music card (alsa) ??? [19:15] hi all again, my ubuntu machine is part of a LAN, the lan is connected over a router to the internet. ifconfig (of cause) only shows me the LAN ip ... how to find out the IP of the router ( the my machine has got on the internet ) ??????? thx guys [19:15] jim install miro [19:15] mahrellon, no need to use "sudo" when searching packages, also there is "aptitude search [package]" [19:15] vocx: but that's not th epoint here. the point is figuring out why this happens and how i stop it [19:15] don't worry - the map doesn't make much sense [19:15] mahrellon, thank you, i ll bbl [19:15] (kitche: don't forget other tables and don't forget policies :)) [19:16] Seveas: http://pastebin.com/d25091b29 [19:16] is there anyway to save settings of the music card (alsa) ??? [19:16] vocx: Yeah I noticed my li'l typo there. Bad habit putting sudo infront of every apt hehe [19:16] Khamael, is the atheros a usb device? [19:16] Seveas: isn't that why iptables -F ALL is used I don't even use iptables anymore so I kinda forgot the syntax for it anyways [19:16] wireless device [19:16] wireless hardware [19:17] if i install for example xfce or any other big de, is it easy to get rid of it again or will there be configuration files and other junk lying around? [19:17] Seveas: no. I think that device is my mobile phone. I am charging the battery via usb [19:17] kitche so i type # sudo iptables -F ALL ??? [19:17] psie I believe so I know iptables -F is for flush [19:17] kitche, -F just flushes the chain. -P sets policy. I once locked myself out of a colo server by flushing the access list without setting the policy to accept... :) [19:17] kitche: then everting is "back to how it was"?+ [19:17] Khamael, try disconnecting that one for a second [19:17] level1, the electoral map doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me [19:18] Seveas: So u type #sudo iptables -F -P ??? [19:18] Seveas: well I don't know anything about policies on iptables anyways never used policies when I used iptables :( [19:18] psie: should if you don't have any policies [19:18] I want to turn ubuntu in a simple jukebox. So I need to remove everything that is not necessary. I need a very fast boot time. Can any1 help me out here? [19:18] the map shows more red states (for mccain), but the numbers show obama - 221 to mccain 189 [19:18] psie, if you pastebin the output of: sudo iptables-save; sudo iptables-save -t nat [19:18] so letz try another question, how to trace the route of a package?

[19:20] pjdaley, why not ask in the channel? [19:20] Anil: Alt + F2 does nothing [19:20] Seveas: it lists eth0, eth1 and lo. I have 2 regular NIC`s in the pc [19:20] I don't understand how that will help.... I've got one terminal logged in as a different user. The display variable is set to :0.0, so that should work. But then I try to run a program and I get the error message [19:20] Ictinike, that should bring up the run application box [19:20] Anil: Thanks. [19:20] wabash, ugh sorry, missed half the info [19:20] * node357 shuts up [19:21] Khamael, bah... I'm almost running out of ideas. [19:21] seveas, becasue im an extreme newbie at ubuntu :/ [19:21] When I am login to my ubuntu it hangs with a white box in the left-top corner of the screen. There is no text in the screen. The problem appears only for a particular user. Any body please help.. [19:21] So, can anyone help me with this? [19:21] Khamael, can you please pastebin the output of: dpkg -l 'linux*' [19:21] Khamael, i have a (possibly ridiculous) idea about what could be wrong :) [19:21] anyone using tuxonice? [19:21] rand0m: you mean CNN's electoral map or the concept of american elections? Because the electoral college is like the stupidest thing ever [19:21] pjdaley, that's fine, we don't hurt newbies :) [19:22] ;) [19:22] Seveas: ok. what? [19:22] level1, rand0m: politics talk elsewhere please. This is an ubuntu support channel [19:22] a question: i'm trying to get my gmail mail to my own squirrelmail (in my ubuntu server) using IMAP, but the internet tutorials said to change "httpd_can_network_connect" option to true, in order to allow connect to an external host. How can I allow this? is this option in apache2? [19:22] Khamael, missing packages, that's why I need to see the output of that command :) [19:22] rand0m: by which he means #ubuntu-cafe [19:22] I have two hard drives in my computer, I have downloaded and installed the gpartition program, I have formatted them in ext2 and they have mounted. But when I goto places and chooce the device, and try and make a folder, it said read only. Do I need to chmod the drive? Or how does this work [19:22] Khamael, of and run it with maximised terminal [19:22] When I am login to my ubuntu it hangs with a white box in the left-top corner of the screen. There is no text in the screen. The problem appears only for a particular user. Any body please help.. [19:23] rand0m: oops, I meant #ubuntu-offtopic [19:23] I want to make Ubuntu boot faster, I dont need most of whats currently loading, not even networking. It's going to be used as a stand alone jukebox. [19:23] Seveas: http://pastebin.com/daac524c [19:23] pjdaley: you have to give your user write access you could chmod but that's not the right way really would use a umode instead [19:23] ldiamond: maybe you want to create a new system with debootstrap and add the stuff you need one by one [19:24] ldiamond: why media player ar you using? [19:24] anyone could help me please? [19:24] ld says it can't find "-lgcc", i'm on ubuntu 8.04 and can't find what package to install [19:24] should I just do a google search for "umode drives in ubuntu" ? [19:24] molgrum: build-essential [19:24] Anyone know why if I change my GTK Theme and everthing, my Gnome Panels system default stays the same? [19:24] ldiamond, you can disable the services you don't want loading with something like bum or sysv-rc-conf [19:25] kitche: got that installed [19:25] i'm trying to compile Wine [19:25] Khamael, nope, that list is fine. Idea busted... [19:25] pjdaley: "mount" and ls -al /mountpoint [19:25] molgrum: why not just use the wine packages from their site? [19:25] level1, I dont know, any simple player, maybe more than one player, I'd put amarock and maybe 1-2 others [19:25] the thing is, I dont know what a mount point is. Is that the folder in /dev/media that I want the drive to show up in? [19:25] kitche: i need a patch inserted [19:25] molgrum: build-essential [19:26] WC3 won't handle hosting games without it [19:26] molgrum: then whatever provides libgcc [19:26] hmm, i have build-essential already [19:26] ldiamond: my idea is this... debootstrap a system (that gives you only the stuff ubuntu needs to boot). Then chroot into it and sudo aptitude install amarok. by instaling amarok, it should give you all the key dependencies including X [19:26] wols: i'm trying to figure out exactly that :) [19:26] pjdaley: /dev/media is a device node if anything [19:26] Seveas: I have to go. thanks for the help [19:26] ldiamond: but nothing you don't need [19:26] molgrum: packages.ubuntu.com [19:27] Seveas: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/39970/ my iptables output! [19:27] ldiamond: so what you need to research is "debootstrap" and "chroot" [19:27] greetings [19:27] how do i open ports 5678, 5679 and 990 [19:27] with ubuntu 8.04 [19:27] ill check that out, thx [19:27] psie, that output says your filters are already empty [19:27] and policy is set to accept [19:28] thats bull**** [19:28] wols: would you mind pointing me in the right direction to start over from the formatting, to the mounting? Is there a decent forums thread that shows how to do this in detail? [19:28] psie: iptables -L [19:28] psie, iptables-save doesn't generally lie [19:28] pjdaley: I asked for info. I want that info [19:28] Seveas: Any idea what else could be the reason for having no traffic? [19:29] what info? you said that it is a device node if anything [19:29] did I miss a reply? [19:29] psie, well, you have IRC traffic don't you? :) [19:29] Seveas: I wasn't say bull**** to what you said, just in general [19:29] a question: i'm trying to get my gmail mail to my own squirrelmail (in my ubuntu server) using IMAP, but the internet tutorials said to change "httpd_can_network_connect" option to true, in order to allow connect to an external host. How can I allow this? is this option in apache2? [19:29] this is an other pc [19:29] pjdaley: please stop talking to me until you can run the commands I gave you. goodbye [19:29] any idea? [19:29] !language | psie [19:29] psie: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [19:30] Seveas: but I can't ping anything [19:30] wols: well since you won't give him the commands that you say you did I'll give them to him instead "mount" and ls -al /mountpoint [19:30] wols. Ok, sounds like you have more experience than me. [19:30] psie, ah, 3G... how did you connect that? [19:30] hai i want to joint [19:30] are there any ubuntu music players that have built in equalizers?, im using rythmbox and cant find anything to lower my bass [19:30] pjdaley: this is what he's talking about "mount" and ls -al /mountpoint [19:30] ty kitche [19:30] via wvdial [19:30] kitche: please don't lie. I did. you not seeing them is not my problem [19:30] how do i open ports 5678, 5679 and 990 with ubuntu 8.04 [19:31] ony: what? [19:31] wols: did I say you lied guess not read next time [19:31] psie, run the command 'route -n'. Try to ping the addresses listed in the second column of the output [19:31] (unless it's 0.0.0.0 :)) [19:31] richard: why is there a firewall in the first place? [19:31] just a question: do anybody know where i can find the complete list over distros? [19:31] level1 do you know where I can find a guide for that? I'm currently on an install of 8.04 and what I found requires another hard drive. [19:31] ubottu: Gnea; wols: I am logged in to my desktop as userA. I open an xterm and su to userB. I want to run an application as userB and have it display on my desktop. When I try this, I get "No protocol specified [19:31] xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0 [19:31] " [19:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:31] richard, do you need this to play some game or something? [19:32] wols, kitche, pjdaley: please don't fight. Life's too short to waste it with arguin on the internet :) [19:32] How can I run the app so it's open on my display? [19:32] wabash: research "xauth" [19:32] Seveas: worked for before, just messed arounf with dhcp3-server and its config files [19:32] i think so because my amsn is not connecting and my windows pocket pc as well [19:32] xauth? [19:32] Seveas: meh I m to busy compiling kde4 and firefox3 to fight anyways :) [19:32] Seveas: yes I can ping my broadcast [19:32] wabash, gksudo -u Userb app_to_run_here [19:32] wabash: don't use su, use sudo -i [19:32] kitche, life's too short to compile kde/firefox too ;) [19:33] Ok, thanks. I don't need to sudo, though... I want to actually run it with the permissions of userB. [19:33] wabash, sudo -u UserB [19:33] wabash: and that is what the command Seveas gave you does [19:33] In other words, I'd like to run it as userB as if I was user be logged in to my desktop. [19:33] wabash: yes! [19:33] Oh, I see. So sudo with no args runs as root by default, and with "-u userB" runs as userB? [19:34] wabash, correct. The manpage for sudo has more useful tips, such as how to preserve environment variables :) [19:34] Seveas: I can ping the 2nd target adress of the output! [19:34] !sudo | wabash [19:34] wabash: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

It worked great for a year and now I just had to reinstall my ubuntu. Played around at some configs for dhcps, and everthing is messed up! [19:36] wols: I can't create a directory on an unformatted drive [19:36] Okay, can someone tell me the settings for Evolution because I can receive Bellsouth (At&T) e-mail but not send it. [19:36] AdrianStrays: /dev/sdb1 is not directory [19:36] Seveas - I was going to do a looping script... its more of a case of how do i use wget to make filenames with incramenting counts in them? [19:36] wols: where does that go? [19:37] psie, I guess your 3G provider is detecting that you run a dhcp server and disconnected you [19:37] WDC: ask bellsouth for their smtp servers. not us [19:37] guys, still getting the error when I use "sudo -u userB xterm", for example. [19:37] Am I doing it wrong? [19:37] jharkn: in rc.local [19:37] how do I set up samba on hardy so that I can share files to windows computers? I thought once you installed samba it was in system - administration - shared folders, but that isnt there [19:37] wols: I know the smtp servers. Clearly it doesn't work. [19:37] wabash: i've already told you what you need to use. it's up to you to figure it out. stop badgering. [19:37] chazco, don't use looping scripts, the tend to break loose and wreak havoc. Simply run a cronjob every 2 minutes and instead of incrementing use a timestamp :) [19:37] WDC: that is still not a ubuntu problem. but you not knowing at&t [19:37] doofy. Just right click the folder you want to share and choose "Sharing options" I think. [19:37] Seveas: I did that for a year or so! and nothing happened! And I just disconnected and reconnected myself, still doesn't work! [19:38] wabash, what's the error? [19:38] wols: I have followed their directions and still cannot do it. google also gives nothing. I have tried every possible configuration for it and Evolution will STILL not SEND mail. [19:38] fam: curl -S whatismyip.org and that is your ip it will output [19:38] Gnea: Not badgering. Trying to figure out what it is I need to do.

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:38] wabash: just use gksu. [19:38] WDC: and this is not a ubuntu problem. but you not knowing how to configure a att connection. ask att [19:38] wabash, listen to Gnea :) [19:38] Gnea: I don't want to run them as root!!!!! [19:38] wols: ok thanks (: [19:38] wols: Well, thanks for the help wols.... (not) [19:38] I want to run them as userB [19:39] wabash, gksu -u userB also works [19:39] wabash: then you didn't even try to use gksu. [19:39] wabash: it will not run as root if you do it right! [19:39] wabash: therefore, you need to be patient and try it. [19:39] Seveas: Anyway thanks a lot! [19:39] wabash, which we said about a zillion times already.

It is better if you provide more information. [19:44] wabash, yeah, I'm seeing that as well, trying to find out what we do wrong. [19:44] adilson: ls /home [19:44] gkrnours: Yes, but you might want to check out what's causing it to grow that large. [19:44] I can't open it. Too heavy I think. [19:44] Seveas: Cool, thank you. [19:44] adilson: /home/username would be their home dir, regardless of what their username is. [19:45] adilson: Also, remember to change permissions on those files.

[19:48] richard, there, you see? Asking the right questions gives you the right answers. [19:48] richard, that you need to use pidgin/emesene/another msn client until amsn is fixed [19:48] how do i update that [19:48] richard, the amsn developers need to do that, then an updated version will become available via the automatic updates [19:50] Seveas: did you find anything?

[19:54] i was wondering: you know in debian you can upgrade the distro or software from etch to lenny or sid by changing the repos, but can you do that in ubuntu too? from gutsy to hardy by just changing that? [19:54] vocx: tried but then I get bunch of erros and no boot :\ [19:54] wenas [19:54] Hoxzer: Have you tried a live cd? [19:54] SB: You can, but theres a better way [19:54] !upgrade > SB [19:54] SB, please see my private message [19:55] Seveas: i'm there and i'm a bit confused....i will not have internet access to install anything and was wondering how to get everything on the cd and configured [19:55] Lerxst: nope, but I dunno how to find out the correct UID when in liveBoot [19:55] Hoxzer: in the console, run this command: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid [19:55] manicnerd: You want to install a LAMP stack somewhere? or you want a liveCD that has a lamp stack on it? [19:55] Hoxzer: it will list your drives by UUID [19:55] Lerxst: k, thanks [19:55] !uuid [19:56] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [19:56] manicnerd, that's why you customize the livecd on a pc with connection :) [19:56] Flannel: I want a liveCD that will have a lamp stact on it....so when it finishes booting up i can open a terminal and login to mysql...create a database...use php code to edit said database...etc [19:56] Seveas: I'm looking to create it now then use it later when I dont have a connection [19:57] Hi.. how do i use cron to run a script every 2 minutes? [19:57] !cron [19:57] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [19:57] manicnerd, that's exactly what that howto does. Drop some packages from the livecd image (to get some space) and install the lamp stack [19:57] I am setting up samba, if I have multiple folders I want to share, is it acceptable in the smb.conf, under [MyFiles] to have 2 separate lines with path= ? [19:57] does anyone know if is it necessary to have POP3/IMAP/POP3 services installed (dovecot, postfix, etc) or some other services, in order to get imap mail to my squirrelmail from another mail server and send mail using an external mail server? [19:57] manicnerd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [19:57] chazco, here's a crontab line: */2 * * * * /path/to/script [19:57] chazco, more info: man crontab [19:57] I'm trying to format an external drive manually, and it either can't open the unformatted drive or it can't find it [19:58] Can someone help me [19:58] i was wondering because when i just install hardy it gives a problem thanks to the kernel and my motherboard (asus p5w dh deluxe) it makes my booting take 5+ minutes, but with the gutsy kernel it is fast les then 30 seconds. so that i could upgrade everything except the kernel [19:58] Seveas - Thanks... trying to read that but need to get going asap :D [19:58] General computer related question, how many hard drive controllers can you put in a machine? [19:58] Flannel: i'm there....kinda lost as to how to install the lamp stack onto the cd image [19:58] Uriens: Move squirrel mail from where to where? [19:58] it shows me how to remove stuff....not add [19:58] manicnerd: Just add them regularly (apt-get, etc) === rizitis is now known as rizitis_ [19:59] AdrianStrays, external drives are usually always FAT32, trying to partition them and format them with other file systems maybe troublesome, or so I've read. [19:59] Uriens: you want to transfer email from one server to another, basically? Is the destination IMAP? [19:59] vocx - only thumb drives === rizitis_ is now known as rizitis [19:59] vocx: No, I've wiped the entire drive. Its unformatted at this point [20:00] Flannel: wont running apt-get install apache... lead to it telling me that they are already installed on the system? (they are installed on this system) [20:00] vocx - and flash drives [20:00] hi all [20:00] Uriens: Mmm, you answered that. Is it a remote IMAP or local IMAP? === geirha_ is now known as geirha [20:00] vocx: for some reason the command "fdisk -l | grep '^Disk' doesn't do anything for me [20:00] and apt-get remove openoffice.org remove it from my current system> [20:00] ? [20:00] * manicnerd is dumb. [20:00] AdrianStrays, run it with sudo, "sudo fdisk -l" [20:01] vocx: So its possible I'm looking at the wrong partition [20:01] I am setting up samba, if I have multiple folders I want to share, is it acceptable in the smb.conf, under [MyFiles] to have 2 separate lines with path= ? [20:01] pjdaley, no [20:01] AdrianStrays, partitioning and formating is rather easy with Gparted, how can anybody have problems with it. [20:01] How do you set up samba? [20:01] pjdaley, you need 2 different shares [20:01] yes that is what I have [20:02] weather15: usually with a band? [20:02] but do I do tw odifferent lines of path= ? [20:02] two different* [20:02] vocx: All right, there we go. According to the terminal the device apparently doesn't exist and can't open [20:02] pjdaley, one per share [20:02] Question about the default mail application? when i click on a mailto link evloution wants to load, i want it to be thunderbird how do i change this? [20:02] Sevas: thank you [20:02] I believe you use the command sudo apt-get install samba [20:02] hey, why I can't change icons of my ubuntu hardy? Only change some icons :S [20:02] Seveas: thank you * [20:02] anyone know why ff3 is a way worse memory hog than ff2? I have 256mb ram, latest ubuntu. I tried creating a brand new profile, that didn't really help though. It's using 133mb ram right now, which tends to really choke up the system badly. I though ff3 was supposed to be better in this area! [20:02] arthur, system -> prefs -> prefered applications [20:02] hi, can anyone help me to make my bluetooth module work? [20:02] AdrianStrays, plug it to a different USB port, reconnect multiple times, see the output of "dmesg" [20:02] kk ty [20:02] vocx: I tried using Gparted and had the same issues, It could reformat, but when it came to making the filesystem it insisted the device didn't exist. [20:03] I know how to do I just don't know how to configure samba [20:03] !anyone | DEViUS [20:03] DEViUS: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

Check the brand name and model in the forums for any clue. [20:04] i went to ubuntu i got multi OS [20:04] does anyone know how to make the bluetooth module work [20:04] tekstacy, iv had good luck with gigabyte boards [20:04] Khisanth: right, 133 out of 256 doesn't leave enough for everything else, and the computer starts to choke.

[20:06] seveas: oh no, I must be reading the tutorial wrong, it says to put the username that I use to login in those spaces. Would that be correct? [20:06] tekstacy: yes. #hardware [20:06] log says nothing about [20:06] AdrianStrays, maybe it's dead. Once a Hard drive didn't show up anymore and I tried many things. But eventually realized not even the BIOS detected it. So I ditched it. [20:06] wols: i dont get what get what ubottu says but can you help me make my bluetooth module work [20:07] pjdaley, depends on what you call correct. You don't restrict access to the share with it [20:07] I mean does ubuntu work better on one then the other? [20:07] DEViUS: only if you can state sensible problems and ask sensible questions [20:07] is there any freakin way to get firefox to not crash when I go to a page with a flash app in it ? [20:07] pjdaley, mind if I PM you? [20:07] tekstacy: no [20:07] sevas: I Would love it [20:07] vocx: I'm considering the possibility. The only thing that makes me hesitate is the fact that it worked fine as an external hard drive until I tried to change the filesystem [20:07] seveas* [20:07] cool, thanks [20:07] wols: how do i use the bluetooth in ubuntu [20:07] !bluetooth | DEViUS [20:07] DEViUS: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [20:07] how to know the correct URI [20:08] vocx: I just wish there was a clear sign [20:08] I have the live disk fro 8.04 is it possible to invoke the installer via the comand line? [20:08] AdrianStrays, yeah. I tried mine in an old PC and then on a newer one, and it was fine. And then it simply dies. No way to tell. [20:08] because i think than the are problem come from there [20:08] anyone know the command that is issued to turn off the screen after a certian period of time? [20:09] vocx: It created an empty partition and is now setting the partition type to /dev/sdb1 [20:09] will00: do you mean a screensaver? [20:10] vocx: Ugh. Same issue.... [20:10] will00: /etc/acpi/screenblank.sh [20:10] AdrianStrays, you meant the partition type is ext3. /dev/sdb1 is the node point. [20:10] osmosis: using the adobe flash works reasonably well for me. what version are you using? [20:10] guntbert, sort of, but i want to be able to toggle the screen on and off using a button on an ir remote that i have [20:10] anyone know how to auto completion the variable name in terminal [20:11] kbrosnan: whatever comes with hardy === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [20:11] vocx: No, the patition type is ext2. It succeeded in that step then said: mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1 could not stat /dev/sdb1 --- No such file or directory [20:11] AdrianStrays, use a live CD to do it, or Windows, I don't know. If you just want to allocate the space use whatever it takes, then try to create the filesystem.

[20:31] ;) [20:31] seveas: thats if i could help myself do the bluetooth of my computer 1st, hehehe [20:31] xD [20:31] =/ === duygusohbetScrip is now known as alphae34 [20:31] gnea: ii checked the section, followed the instructions, but when i type hcitool dev i dont get any device listed why is this [20:31] I hate mt-daapd because it's made of fail/0 [20:31] and because i have no idea what i'm doing [20:31] I've manually installed it twice and firefox doesn't detect it [20:32] balz: Install Tangernie. [20:32] *Tangerine. [20:32] It's not in Ubuntu, but it's in Badgerports (http://directhex.mfgames.com) [20:33] SeveredCross: I've tried that and it's buggy as all hell... besides, i'm on a non-graphical machine. i'm sshed in [20:33] ive got a new aspire one and i cant install my video drivers [20:33] balz: IIRC, tangerine has a non-graphical daemon mode, and I believe the version in badgerports is patched to fix some fo the bugs. [20:33] SeveredCross: out of curiosity though, is there a package for Tangerine? [20:33] its a 945gme by intel [20:33] The guy who maintains badgerports is a Mono developer, so he wrote a number of patches for Tangerine. [20:33] DEViUS: probably because you don't have your bluetooth hardware turned on [20:33] can any one give me any pointers [20:33] SeveredCross: oh? i had no idea. do you happen to have a link on hand? [20:33] What gives? http://paste.ubuntu.com/39980/ [20:34] gnea you mean a physical button [20:34] DEViUS: yes. [20:34] balz: Not directly to the package, but http://directhex.mfgames.com/hardy.html is the repo. [20:34] oh nvm. you already mentioned badgerports [20:34] hi - in the last 2 days I have screwed 2 x sdhc 4gig cards and got them replaced by the stores.. but now I am in the process of screwing a 3rd card.. [20:34] SeveredCross; so i just add that link to my sources.list? [20:35] gnea: no [20:35] can any one point me to a web site or any thing [20:35] frybye: for what purpose? [20:35] balz: No, open it in your browser, there are instructions there on how to add the repository. [20:35] DEViUS: what make/model is your system? [20:35] will do. thank you [20:36] i have a question for everyone. what's your favourite window manager? [20:36] balz: No problem. [20:36] I am on an eeepc with ubuntu8.04 on it and the card is at /media/disk but I cant access it .. the problem comes again and again when I try to copy more than about 40megs onto it and it freezes at about 38megs of a bigger file.. then I have kileld the transfer-indicatorwindow with xkill and the disk cannot be accessed.. [20:36] is there a default location for libevent ? [20:36] !poll | j800r [20:36] j800r: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:36] Hi. I'm using an Intel onboard GFX card. I popped an nvidia 9500GT into my computer a few minutes ago only to notice that it seemingly isn't supported. But now the Intel card only has a resolution of 640x480; before putting the 9500GT in, I was using it on 1280x1024, and a while ago I could even use it on 1680x1050, which then mysteriously vanished. Now how can I get back to higher resolutions? [20:36] in a termian when I go to cd /media/disk and do an ls -l for instance the terminal window freezes.. [20:37] in the past in order to shut down the eeepc I have just physically withdrwawn the sd-disk but then it is dead forever... [20:37] so i cant find a fucking thing about this issue, im running vesa right now and it sucks [20:37] I'm having some difficulties installing 64-bit ubuntu on a SATA disk. The partitioner can't seem to find the hard disk (fdisk -l shows nothing). Does this mean I'm screwed? [20:37] hello, i lost a lot of files, now I recovered into lost+found... how my I organize? it all lost filename, and structure, 30k of file [20:37] even gparted cant see it then... [20:37] can some one help me install this 945gme [20:37] any one [20:37] at all? [20:37] There was a funny error message as well.. deprecated SCSI or similar. Sounds familiar to anyone? [20:38] keidori: what have you tried so far? [20:38] gnea: its a gigabyte motherboard with built in bluetooth [20:38] DEViUS: yes, but what's the model? [20:38] Gnea: I didnt quite understand your question - for what purpose I wanna write to a sd-disk?? [20:38] how do i know it [20:39] gnea: how do i know it [20:39] What gives? Thanks for helping! http://paste.ubuntu.com/39980/ [20:39] My system is fully updated. [20:39] how do i import a gpg key for a repository via terminal? [20:39] DEViUS: i'm guessing you built the system yourself, so it should be on the box or by one of the PCI slots, etched onto the mobo [20:39] gnea: ill check [20:39] geirha: thanks, but I did't fin any options like that in gconf-editor [20:40] !list [20:40] Hi!

[20:40] Gnea - any idea how I can regain access to the sd-disk without it being fried (would be the 3rd one in 3 days...) [20:40] How do I tell if my PCI-E network card is being detected on ubuntu? [20:41] unable to write more than about 40mg onto them despite it being a 4 gb disk... [20:41] Does anybody know how to add a gpg key for a repository through the command line?

Anyone have a link about what I'll need to do other that simply compile it? [20:42] Khamael, that's a pity, it should be supported natively. But at least it works now :) [20:42] the eeepc has ony 4GB of SSD so of course everybody has to get sdhc cards... [20:42] Anyone have any idea? [20:42] did you get that gnea? [20:43] get what?

[21:31] ompaul_: i just removed my DVD drive (which is good) and plugged the Samsung DVD burmer where the DVD drive was plugged [21:31] unop: scratch that [21:31] nickster500, add the line "deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free" to /etc/apt/sources.list [21:32] ompaul_: same for the power line === ePax_ is now known as ePax [21:32] i don't suspect Samsung's quality [21:32] unop: i copied the "balz, " part of your message... i'm jsuch a dipstick sometimes. looks like it worked. thanks! [21:32] rconan wat is /etc/apt/spurces.list [21:32] BobPenguin, but can banshee use that to play my mp3 files? [21:32] yao_ziyuan, jumper configuration correct? [21:32] unop: do you know what went wrong, just out of curiosity/ [21:32] it's the seller's creditability that sucks [21:32] unop, I an using VPS and root is the user created on install [21:32] balz, try apt-get update again .. see if you get the warning at the end [21:32] !mp3 | Gin [21:32] Gin: 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 [21:32] Wondering if anyone could help me setting up my DNS records for a domain name, on my Ubuntu server.

[21:33] yao_ziyuan, and the old drive is the same setting? [21:33] okay thanks much! [21:33] rconan ok i get it now [21:33] ompaul_: yes [21:33] hi im trying to install hardy in desktop but a "Bootloader" msg box that says /casper/vmlinuz appears [21:33] sdwrage, hmm .. forget about adding the user to the admin group. just give the user the ability to use sudo in the sudoers file. [21:33] unop, Should I never be using root? [21:33] cwill747: Audacity audio editor does not support pulseaudio. There are some fixes but they all produce some noise. Lives video editor just crashes [21:33] ompaul_: i have two IDE cables, one for hard disk, one for DVD drive [21:33] yao_ziyuan, return the burner to the seller.... [21:33] ompaul_: both are Masters [21:33] unop, what file is that? [21:33] KOJV: already returned once, and he gave me a new burner of the same brand (Samsung) [21:33] unop, remember im a noob so I dont know where this file is [21:33] sdwrage, well, on a default ubuntu install .. no - well, you should try not to .. but since you are not on a default install . [21:34] KOJV: today i tested this new one and it also failed [21:34] yao_ziyuan, check it that it is not cable select - sometimes that bites, and sometimes it is a matter of moving one set of jumpers left or right one [21:34] KOJV: they're faked [21:34] yao_ziyuan, well it's a fake if you cannot re-jumper it... [21:34] sdwrage, make sure the sudo package is installed first. apt-get install sudo [21:34] sdwrage, then the file should exist at /etc/sudoers [21:34] sudo is already newest version === niki77 is now known as nikola77 [21:35] KOJV: i also think so...

[21:36] er [21:36] crap [21:36] ikonia: my lesson is that you can't just look at the product's brand, but also the seller's brand... [21:36] yao_ziyuan, question is if he's got real things at all... of it's just an empty box. [21:36] unop, userX ALL=(ALL) ALL [21:36] ikonia: this seller is nobody [21:36] sub-esc: in the apache2.conf it will say which user it runs [21:36] sdwrage, caution .. how are you editing this file tho?

"Blank blinking cursor"? :) [21:53] I am not getting any sound [21:53] Cody, you need to install the system to a hard drive. [21:53] godzirra the same exact text you see on the screen =) [21:53] i cant i dont have another computer [21:53] im i install it to a hard drive does that install madwifi? [21:53] sileni: for eclipse, i guess a "sudo apt-get install eclipse" will do nicely... and if it doesn't bring in java automatically, then /msg ubottu java [21:53] The error message I get is SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device. [21:53] brion: I did that, and thats why I added noapic. And then I dont get that error, and get a blank blinking cursor.

[21:55] I can't play movies, or listen to music [21:55] computer : as you create a virtual Machine, you specify the memory requirements for the virtual machine. [21:55] KOJV: dont i have to use ndiswrapper or sumtin [21:55] computer: virtual memory is usually defined at installation time. it's called a swap partition in linux [21:55] Is there any way that I can have the OS detect my hardware again? Specifically network hardware? [21:55] brion: I don't see any option to turn on or off ioapic [21:55] balz: except he's likely talking about something else, and also virtual memory (sloppy Microsoft terminology aside) is not the same as swap :) [21:56] OMG this is so confusing i cant get my damn internet to work stupid linux [21:56] Cody, to support a network interface, it's either out of the box or using MadWifi... since yours is not working out of the box..... [21:56] godzirra how about apic?

[21:57] under main I just have system time/date and then it displays some info I can't edit... under advanced I have UMA Frame buffer size, legacy usb support, internal wlan power state, internal bluetooth power state, ac wake on lan, summary screen. Under security I have set supervisor password, set user password,, then on boot, I just have the boot priority list. [21:57] KOJV, sudo apt-get install build-essential [21:57] brion: am i missing it somewhere? [21:57] balz, "virtual memory" in systems is simply memory that is not addressed directly, but instead goes through an MMU, which then translates virtual addresses into physical addresses, *or*, if the OS so desires, triggers an exception to let the OS load the requested page from swap (which is whence the confusion arises) [21:57] KOJV: when i install it to a hard drive will madwifi be installed with it?????

[22:44] Crazytom, strictly speaking you should do all updates for feisty then upgrade to gutsy then do updates for gutsy then upgrade to hardy [22:45] rconan so i do cd ~/Desktop sudo dpkg --install --force-architecture --force-depends skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb [22:45] nickster500, no run cd ~/Desktop first [22:45] How do you register your channel?

[22:46] Hello everyone. I just got a Dell Inspiron 600m and I am having connectivity issues. Even when I hook the ethernet cable directly from the receiver to the computer it won't connect to the internet. What is the problem? [22:46] Just moved into college two days ago and I can't download torrent files. Halp! [22:47] rconan where would it go once done [22:47] hal_v2, proxy [22:47] OH YEAH [22:47] stop shouting you idiot [22:47] nickster500 it should be in the menu to run [22:47] ret_: Any suggestions? [22:47] Anyone know how to actually use MadWifi? I installed it successfully, latest version .94 and did modprobe, but the ath0 won't show up. [22:47] hal_v2: tor. [22:47] This is where I come to beg for help, right? [22:47] Sure! [22:47] yup [22:48] I have a Soundblaster X-Fi and it's not working. [22:48] Proxy guide things. I'm not good with them. [22:48] hi, i cant seem to install ubuntu on vmware, when i put the cd in, it justs stars back at me after it boots into gnome [22:48] The_Intellectual, asking will do, no need to beg :) [22:48] can someone tell me why my monitor stops recieving a signal when i try to install? [22:48] its completely unsable [22:48] rconan now it says when i did it dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: [22:48] package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) [22:48] Selecting previously deselected package skype.

[22:48] nickster500: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:48] hal_v2, your college doesn't want you to download torrents. Thus they stop you from doing it. Rent a private apartment outside of campus if you're desperate to download. [22:48] Or steal someones WiFi. [22:48] or just use a proxy [22:49] ret_ I'm not familiar with them, advice/link? [22:49] nickster500, use a pastebin for things like that [22:49] Anyway, is there a way to just get it to use the sound on my mobo if all else fails? [22:49] The_Intellectual, last time i saw x-fi support was almost non-existant [22:49] rconan wat does that do send it to u [22:49] hal_v2: www.freeproxy.ca ? [22:49] anyone uses Ultamatix ? [22:49] how do i rmdir a directory containing files? [22:50] !pastebin | nickster500 [22:50] nickster500: 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) [22:50] balz: rm -r dir/ [22:50] rconan: FloodBot1 already does that :) [22:50] And goddamnit, I have no onboard sound. [22:50] The_Intellectual, may I suggest dualbooting to Windows when you wish to use your X-Fi. All the Creative softwares are for Windows anyway. [22:50] I just want to put music on in the background. [22:50] rconan do i still hav to use paste bin to send that info again [22:51] ugh [22:51] would someone help goddamn it [22:51] erUSUL: thank you! [22:51] hello, what was the command to install flash? apt-get install flashnonfree? [22:51] balz: np [22:51] nickster500, yes, i don't know what you wanted with that info [22:51] or what was it? [22:51] mespejel, flashplugin-nonfree [22:51] This doesn't make sense because the campus guidelines or tech thing says it's an open internet campus with no computer restrictions and whatnot. [22:51] ret did you setup a hard drive in vmware? [22:51] the_int sounds like an idiotic thing to do [22:51] thanks [22:51] f [22:51] rconan was some suposse to come up once i did the command [22:51] If I could do some barebones driver or something and not have any of the advanced features that would be fine. [22:52] nickster500, that stuff looked like the normal output of dpkg so have a look in your applications->internet menu for skype [22:52] I was trying to use OSS but I get some grief when I go to install the packet. [22:52] The_Intellectual, there is a binary beta driver from creative for it but i have never heard of anyone using it [22:52] rconan thanks [22:52] nickster500, is it therE? [22:52] Do you have a link? [22:52] It sounds worth a shot. [22:52] The_Intellectual, opensource.creative.com should have info [22:52] can anyone tell me why my monitor stops recieving a signal once i start installing ubuntu? [22:53] rconan do i always hav to use that command to install a program [22:53] The_Intellectual, i sold my x-fi a week before it came out [22:53] rconan yes [22:53] For some reason I can't download that. [22:53] Angerla: you monitor does not support the video mede the livecd tries maybe you should try the alternate cd or the safe graphics mode [22:53] nickster500, not always, it is complicated by that being a 32 bit program on a 64bit os [22:54] o ok [22:54] Okay, right now it says it's downloading but nothing's happening. [22:54] rconan ok thankyou thats all [22:54] It just takes me to the select your region then a generic select your product.

[22:58] Be Right Back Switching clients. [22:58] hal_v2, you having trouble downloading torrents being online to a university is very much off topic in this channel. Talk to your admin, ask nicely if he'll open a port for you, that's ALL you can do except moving outside of campus and getting another ISP. [22:58] Rhythmbox and Banshee give me an unknown error when I try to play a .m4a yet, I can play them with GNOME MPlayer [22:59] MXIIA: Do you have all the gstreamer plugins installed?

Whenever I come to the support channel I get douchebags telling me why I shouldn't be here more than I get people willing to answer a fucking question. I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY COULD BLOCK ME FROM DOWNLOADING TORRENT FILES ONLY. How the fuck was I supposed to know that they can make it so it says it's downloading, while remaining at 0Kb/s? This is what support is for, assholes. N [23:00] ow someone, please tell me not to swear instead of addressing my ACTUAL FUCKING question. [23:00] Dicks.

[23:16] ShutterBC: the default on the alternate cd -- lvm dmcrypt [23:16] cocoabean: okay. [23:16] GL-san: what's wrong with your nautilus? [23:16] it wont work [23:16] GL-san: if you don't need nautilus specifically, you could try something like pcmanfm [23:16] i can't open it [23:17] in any way shape or form [23:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/40016/ [23:17] i can browse my computer using dolphin atm [23:17] moustache1: ah, ok. so... hmm... where does the hibernate file get written? [23:17] hi [23:17] but nautilus just hangs up and dissapears when i try to start it [23:17] GL-san: looks nasty... [23:17] ShutterBC: as i understand, to swap [23:17] What's the directory for ALSA by default in Ubuntu? [23:17] it was worse a second ago [23:17] lol [23:17] i got it down to just that now [23:18] <_magez_> i removed phpmyadmin and now my php.ini file is gone, help? =P [23:18] anyone here using vidalia on Ubuntu [23:18] GL-san: have you tried using synaptic to do a complete removal then install? [23:18] Can anyone tell me how to do a remote login with VLC (or similar) from an internet connected computer somewhere else, not the same network? [23:18] how can I check if a program is set to start automatically? [23:18] duncan-nz, VNC? Open port 5900 in your router/firewall. [23:18] duncan-nz i think you mean VNC [23:18] duncan-nz: you mean vnc? [23:19] balz, try 'System > Preferences > Session' [23:19] duncan-nz any way to do it over cli? [23:19] yes VLC ;-) [23:19] moustache1: this might be more of a forums question. I don't seem to have much luck digging into the deeper topics here. I can see how encryption might make hibernate a little more tricky. [23:20] balz, certainly, but don't ask me how! There is a default bash script which handles a lot of that, but I can't remember what It's called. [23:20] kak dela [23:20] ShutterBC: unfortunately, no book, no forum, no community documentation has answered my question [23:20] <_magez_> omg, i reistalled phpmyadmin and it started working again [23:20] duncan-nz... kk google time =) [23:20] update-rc.d balz, read the manpage [23:20] harasho [23:21] Cocoabean, thanks man! [23:21] Aaah! The wifi is now working! But how to make it logon auto? Wifi-Radar requires root.... [23:21] hi, how to configure Zend framework?? i already isntalled the package [23:21] ShutterBC: what is harasho? [23:21] am trying to connect to my host al7ewar.net:8443 but the firefox is taking me to https://localhost.localdomain:8443/ , why is that ? [23:21] nothing [23:21] oh [23:21] Remote desktop over the internet? Anyone know how? [23:21] !sudo > TheMaxzilla [23:21] duncan-nz its the same as on the network [23:21] TheMaxzilla, please see my private message [23:21] KOJV: lucky you, mine works but its got a terrible bug in the driver. :( [23:21] hehe [23:21] Super quick dumb question. I searched already, but not finding the answer. I need to mount my starcraft iso to play. I forgot how to mount the image to run in wine? Any quick answers? [23:22] an attempt at making an OT comment in russian, which I know very little of. [23:22] duncan-nz: if you're behind a router you'll need to forward ports. make sure you're using the external, not internal IP of the machine [23:22] duncan-nz you just point it to the remote ip address and make sure if there is a router on the other end, the port is forwarded to the target computer [23:22] ShutterBC: gotcha [23:22] Cocoabean, do you see any error in my config file ? [23:22] Where can I learn about port forwarding? [23:22] duncan-nz: yes -- well, I use NX server / client for Linux... and RDP for Windows [23:22] www.portforward.com [23:22] duncan-nz: use google [23:22] list most routers [23:22] or that [23:23] ShutterBC, is NX server FLOSS? [23:23] wathek, i wont be able to tell unless i kno how your network is setup, but i think it said the address was in use, so maybe check that ip address and make sure your not assigning the same address to two computers [23:23] !mount [23:23] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [23:23] duncan-nz: there's a free NX server, yes. They also have a non-free one. [23:23] I followed the steps for installing OSS in this post before I tried the drivers someone linked in here, and now I need to know how to unblacklist ALSA. [23:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4874981&postcount=2 [23:23] trinaryShift, google also has a lot of crap. a personal recomendation is much better. [23:23] but its not OSS [23:23] Expl0ited, I got the latest trunk of Madwifi... [23:23] Cocoabean, ok [23:23] Expl0ited, you're running that too? [23:23] wathek, any particular reason you're doing a network installation [23:23] I know it's not OSS now, but I didn't then. [23:23] ShutterBC: could you point me to any sources of information [23:23] ? [23:24] So I copy/pasted the commands in that post, including the blacklists. [23:24] So now I need to undo that. [23:24] ShutterBC, would NX server be easier for me a first timer with remote desktops? [23:24] duncan-nz: you make a good point, but I feel that personal research yields deeper understanding [23:24] KOJV: no it can't be fixed right now. [23:24] Because over the course of that I blacklisted ALSA. [23:24] moustache1: I did a quick check, not sure. unfortunately don't have that config, and not a lot of time to try that in a VM at the moment. [23:24] Cocoabean, gonna try something else [23:24] trinaryShift, also true. Usually I start at wikipedia and then go from there. [23:24] duncan-nz: i remember that NX is quite a fiddle to set up, but the results are worth it [23:24] And is there a way to undo a blacklist? [23:24] wathek, do you not have burnable CDs or something, i know how that goes [23:24] duncan-nz, right now NX only works linux to linux [23:24] IdleOne, fine for me. [23:24] !freenx | duncan-nz [23:25] duncan-nz: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [23:25] Cocoabean, burnable CDs ?! [23:25] I'm using NX Windows -> Linux [23:25] And it's niiice. [23:25] Cocoabean, for what ? [23:25] Anyone? [23:25] wathek: to install ubuntu so you dont have to do it via teh network [23:25] ShutterBC, yeah but linux>windows does not work [23:25] Right-o [23:25] yeah, when remoting into Windows machines, I only use RDP. [23:25] Cocoabean, I'm trying to install onto a Toshiba Portege R100 no CDrom, no Floppy nothing [23:25] anybody know how to get compiz running on an hp 2710p? it uses the gm965 card. [23:25] Cocoabean, and can't boot on USB [23:26] student, do you have the correct graphics drivers installed? [23:26] wathek, get a CDROM... [23:26] ahhh, gotcha wathek, [23:26] wathek, connected to USB. [23:26] i have trouble resuming from hibernation on an encrypted ubuntu install. unencrypted installs don't have the same problem on my system. can anyone help?" [23:26] KOJV, doesn't boot on USB [23:26] wathek, if the machine cannot connect to a CDROM, floppy or USB device, toss it. [23:27] KOJV, I got an external CDrom on USB [23:27] KOJV, all it can do is boot on USB in PCMCIA and I don't have that [23:27] I am trying to fix static IP address to eth0 which works, but I can not access my router. If I do the same on my windows pc it works! What am I doing wrong? [23:27] !install [23:27] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[23:27] moustache1: the only thing I can think of is unencrypting your swap partition [23:27] wathek, get an PCMCIA card then. Or toss the machine. [23:28] How do I unblacklist ALSA, guys? [23:28] KOJV, lol [23:28] moustache1: check this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300600&highlight=hibernate+encrypted+partition [23:28] how can i find the games that i installed?

Why pull your hair out on a useless machine? [23:28] all right, so no comments on safety of copying libkdeui.so.4 from a Debian package? fine... here goes. [23:28] toss the machine? wow someone figures one little hardware problem makes it all worthless.
