[00:12] <[T]BludShoT> i really want to install ubuntu, but, it keeps failing over and over. I had ubuntu 6 on this PC before, but when I tried to put 8 on it just won't go on [00:12] Lymies: next version of ubuntu, 8.10 [00:12] so its coming out on 8/10? [00:13] wait [00:13] that would be in the past [00:13] Lymies: yes, if you mean october 2010 :) [00:13] i thought ubuntu version numbers were dates in the past [00:13] hey guys, does anyone know how to setup Synergy? [00:13] [T]BludShoT, when you say won't go on? you have a bootcd and you boot? and what happens? [00:13] Lymies: 2008 i mean [00:13] mar1 : that all looks quite good, no errors found, fglrx is running and the monitor is dpms-autodetected [00:13] Lymies: 8.10 = 2008 october [00:13] oh ok [00:14] mar1 : was vlc installed before the driver walkthrough ? [00:14] Grrr, cdemu won't let me eject ISOs because an application is running from the ISO... Then what good is it. [00:15] <[T]BludShoT> i created a CD, and i boot to that CD, then hit on Install. First dozen times it would get to like step 6 or i guess 7 and then freeze at 15% [00:15] <[T]BludShoT> so then i'd just have to reboot [00:15] blud shot [00:15] <[T]BludShoT> (and i mean i waited like hours after it froze) [00:15] ScheissDroge1: no [00:15] i only installed it after [00:15] download the non live version and put that on a cd [00:15] i had the same issue back when and that works very well [00:15] how do i install a kernal for virtual box? [00:15] does anyone know how to use Synergy? [00:16] althought not as easy to set up a partition [00:16] i can't get it to work right [00:16] it will work [00:16] <[T]BludShoT> now when i boot, it ignores that im hitting on INstall, and instead it just loads the live cd! [00:16] Gendolookin, wats wrong [00:16] mar1 : and you say its flickering at video playing ? [00:16] well [00:16] how do i install a kernal for virtual box?

[00:16] blud shot [00:16] how do i install a kernal for virtual box? === AwayMT is now known as ArielMT [00:17] and it keeps saying "error duplicate name on line 4 [00:17] go to the download page for ubuntu and click the box t hat says you need the non live version [00:17] then it will work like a charm [00:17] and i keep deleting the line [00:17] and saving it [00:17] but it keeps creating the damn file [00:17] Question: on the Ubuntu 8.04 install CD were are the drivers located for the wireless..? because when i'm running off the CD it detects my wirless but when i run off the HD it doesn't [00:17] how do i install a kernal for virtual box? [00:17] Gendolookin, doesnt matter wat pc is main [00:17] ok [00:18] <[T]BludShoT> bofh80 no, i didnt try a 2nd disk. I guess i can try that [00:18] how do i install a kernal for virtual box? [00:18] Gendolookin, i never noticed syngery making any configs. - You do need to stop/restart the service for it to reread the configs I recall. [00:18] <[T]BludShoT> OmfgItsAshark do you mean alternate desktop CD [00:18] yeah, i have quick synergy as well [00:18] i think thats the problem [00:18] so i'm uninstalling both and reinstalling [00:18] does anyone know about virtual box? [00:18] see if that will help [00:18] Gendolookin, it may be its looking in 2 or more places for the configs. theres no need to 'uninstall' [00:19] i need some help with it [00:19] crap LOL [00:19] too late [00:19] [T]BludShoT, i think he does. . . . it's the only 'non-live' version i think for desktop. [00:19] should i install quicksynergy as well? [00:19] what's your problem slammer? [00:19] Gendolookin, never heard of 'quick syngery' I just use normal syngery. [00:19] does anyone know about virtual box? [00:19] quicksynergy is just a GUI [00:19] what about virtualbox? [00:19] mar1 : ? [00:19] hello!!! anybody? [00:19] i'm reinstalling just synergy now [00:19] no no no [00:20] see if i can figure it out [00:20] synergy2 rocks [00:20] there is a text non live version of the program [00:20] I use Netbeans on Ubuntu 8.04.1 but when i run the dialog boxes, they look empty like there is gray on the box. I can see only close-minimize-maximize buttons. When i disable the Normal effects in Ubuntu, the boxes run correctly. Did anybody face like this problem in Ubuntu? [00:20] basically what i want is, when i move the mouse to the left of my LCD i want it to go to the windows machine [00:20] and the Right of my CRT to go back to the Linux box [00:20] Gendolookin, syngery can do that. Ive set it up that way befor. [00:20] anyone? [00:20] <[T]BludShoT> OmfgItsAshark, are you talking about this: Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer. [00:20] i think quick synergy was screwing things up [00:21] im having problems with burning cds [00:21] slammed....what's your problem with virtualbox? [00:21] blank cds wount mount [00:21] it says im missing a kernal [00:21] if thats what i want, how should i set synergy up? [00:21] I'm trying to share a folder, but I get a message that says my permission is denied and to ask the administrator to grant me permission to create a shared folder. I am the only user of this computer. How can I grant myself permission? [00:21] i cant insal osx leopard [00:21] when you go to the download page there will be an option that you click that says... i need the non live cd [00:21] Gendolookin, i recall needing to read the syngery docs and looking at its example configs.. they are not that complex. I also recall needing to use the ip# of the machines Not their names.. UNLESS you have their names in the hosts file. [00:22] You should find the virtualbox irc room dude...Wrong OS for this place too... [00:22] slammed87d21: you can't install os x in virtual box. For one, it's illegal. For two, it won't work [00:22] ok [00:22] you trick me [00:22] where would the host file be? [00:22] godmode117 they have no file system on them so they wont mount [00:22] IP's would be better [00:22] Gendolookin, /etc/hosts - its better to use ip. [00:22] <[T]BludShoT> OmfgItsAshark, then that must be what i'm saying [00:22] ok [00:22] <[T]BludShoT> "This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer." [00:22] what is the command to run the file? [00:23] synergys [00:23] koshari: then how do i burn them, when i open k3b it tells me there no device [00:23] godmode117 is your optical drive accessable? [00:23] so its illegal to use my own software on my own computer? [00:23] i'm reading the how to and it tells me to type synergys -f --config synergy.conf [00:23] Gendolookin, one machine has to run the syngery client, other runs the syngery server. both commands have logging/verbose logging features so you can troubleshoot [00:23] ok [00:23] koshari: what do you mean by accessable? [00:24] ok so now i need to write a config file [00:24] slammed87d21: read the license you agreed to. In any case, we are offtopic here. Feel free to ask #vbox. But afaik, you will not be able to install os x in virtual box [00:24] can you access a written dic or is it in the fstab file? [00:24] so instead of host name, use ips?? [00:24] in the config file? [00:24] Gendolookin, the syngery docs /usr/shar/docs/syn* has an example confiog i recall you can edit. [00:24] koshari: its in fstab [00:24] Gendolookin its not your software you just have a licence to use it withing the terms spelled out in the eula [00:24] Are you trying to run virtualbox on a MAC? [00:24] !offtopic [00:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:24] huh? [00:25] ive burned cds before with it, but now i cant "mount" them [00:25] am i breaking a copyright law by using synergy? [00:25] Gendolookin: no, that was for someone else [00:25] oh ok [00:25] Gendolookin osx in a virtual machine [00:25] i tried running OSX in Vmware [00:25] didn't work too well [00:25] plus its illegal to do that [00:25] And offtopic. [00:25] Ive ran osx in vmware also.. :) just to see if it could be done. [00:26] any machine other than a MAC is breaking the EULA [00:26] Gendolookin sorry i meant jrib... [00:26] its ok man [00:26] or women [00:26] *woman [00:26] That would be an interesting court case... but its offtopic chatter for here. :) [00:27] wat ? [00:27] !offtopic [00:27] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:27] if u own a mac , u can install it in vmware legally [00:27] so is Synergy pretty good? [00:27] same with windows [00:27] is ther anyway to re-install my cd/dvd burner? [00:27] freakazoid: This is offtopic for this channel. [00:27] because, my KVM switch is too crapy [00:27] give me bad shadows on my LCD [00:27] Gendolookin, it works very well for what it does. if the network gets loaded.. it can lag however.

[00:29] Gendolookin, looks like just some mroe chatter/messages from the syngery service [00:29] or from gedit in that case... no idea what it means. [00:29] ;) [00:29] HAHA [00:29] i kwon? [00:29] odd [00:29] gedit still worked LOL [00:30] ok === netsui_away is now known as netsui [00:30] let me see if i can get this to work [00:30] !wtf [00:30] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:31] Gendolookin, one does not use ip#'s in the syngery config files. just proper 'names' which are not the same as the hostname i recall (reading a howto now) when you start the services/clients you proberly will want to use the ip#. or proper hostname [00:31] Would someone with running Heron and who has ubuntu installed test something for me? Could they run choose two videos (I'll call them video1 and video2) and run "mplayer -fixed-vo video1 video2", when video1 is running press "f" to switch to fullscreen, then press ">" to switch to video2, and see if you stay in fullscreen mode? [00:31] help me plz, when i click on my cd drive it tells me "unable to mount location. cant mount file" [00:31] Gendolookin, checking out http://gentoo-wiki.com/Synergy (firstgoogle hit) [00:32] thank you Dr_Willis [00:32] help plz [00:32] virtualbox-ose-modules package [00:32] i connected to my windows synergy server, but i couldn't do anything LOL [00:33] Gendolookin, and http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ [00:33] can somebody please help my issue [00:33] ? [00:33] yeah? [00:33] going there now [00:33] Err, would someone with Heron and who has mplayer installed test something for me? Could they run choose two videos (I'll call them video1 and video2) and run "mplayer -fixed-vo video1 video2", when video1 is running press "f" to switch to fullscreen, then press ">" to switch to video2, and see if you stay in fullscreen mode? [00:33] help please [00:34] ok so if i want to use my Ubuntu keyboard and mouse, i want it to be the server correct? [00:34] Gendolookin, yep. Actually i think it can work both ways.. you could hop to the other machune and move its mouse and take over. [00:34] oh ok [00:35] ok [00:35] i used their demo file [00:35] and just put my information [00:35] Gendolookin, be sure to disable the syngery service/client if you move the machine to another room :) I kept loseing the pointer once.. and the wife yelled that her mouse was moving by itself! :) [00:35] HAHA === sean is now known as Guest72110 [00:36] and Gendolookin [00:36] sudo it hey [00:36] yeah?

I want to shrink the / filesystem and make a separate /home partition, then upgrade to (reinstall) 64-bit ubuntu in / [00:36] Gendolookin, and do not 'ssh' to the client machine and run syngery client. :) with x forwarding i had a it looping back to the initial machine.. that had me all confused. [00:36] hello [00:36] haha [00:36] ok [00:36] godmode117: are you sure the cd isn't broke?

[00:39] Flannel: lvresize and lvreduce both say that i have to shrink the filesystem before using these utilities [00:39] qwstar: My overall question is based on that you need to resize the filesystem first, then you can use lvm tools to shrink the container. [00:40] godmode117: so are you trying to tell me, instead of just telling me, that you bought a brand new spindle of empty CDRs, burnt something to one of them, and now the system won't read what you wrote to it? [00:40] Gendolookin, according to the docs it looks in /etc/synergy.conf Unless you tell it otherwise. I belive [00:40] oh ok [00:40] qwstar: And since you're wanting to resize /, you'll need to use a livecd/recovercd with a resizer. [00:40] Gendolookin, sounds like you got a typo in the config also. [00:40] yeha [00:40] Kuwanger: I tried using GParted from the PartedMagic livecd, but it did not recognize the LVM partition [00:40] says missing link [00:40] but i'm not sure why [00:40] Gnea: no, it wont recognize blank cds [00:41] godmode117: then it is operating correctly.

[00:53] compaq [00:53] :) [00:53] freeflowcauvery, i got an error now [00:53] godmode117: so are you using k3b or something else? [00:53] Snicks|Mars: what error [00:54] what's the error [00:54] gnea: ive tried multiple programs, they all tell me no device found, but ive burned cds before but only when they blank cd showed up on my desktop [00:54] Expl01ted, i'll put it in a pastebin ;) [00:54] qwstar: Good luck. [00:54] the blank cd* [00:54] Snicks|Mars: always a good idea. [00:54] this is the eroor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40527/ [00:55] Snicks|Mars: I get that all the time, it doesn't really effect anything. [00:55] ok [00:55] godmode117: ok, try this then: kill all of your burning programs (check the system monitor to make sure there's no zombied processes running) and start k3b *without* a cd in the drive - while k3b is on the screen, pop a blank cd into the drive and wait... eventually, the drive listed on the top-portion of k3b should show the "Empty CDR medium" [00:55] but my nautilus still seems broken [00:56] godmode117: of course, if you get an automatic popup asking what you want to do with the blank cd, just click cancel or whatever to back out of it [00:56] it [00:56] "seems broken" ist not a very god description of a problem [00:57] good [00:57] my taskbar is not running (down-taskbar) [00:57] gnea: ok ill try it [00:57] basti: those are the best problems though! :) [00:57] how can i make a backup copy of a cd?

[00:59] redrebel, dd if=/path/to/cdrom of=/path/to/iso [00:59] gnea: yes i have [00:59] i found an easier way! right click on the cd > make copy > write to file (instead of cd) [00:59] it wont let me install the dependences says to make sure they are added to the repo list [00:59] godmode117: is that a presario? [01:00] what do i need to do in order to bind the two "switch folder" buttons to rotate cube left/right on a thinkpad t60p? the buttons that I am referring to are directly above the arrow left and right keys. thanks [01:00] gnea: whats a presario? [01:00] godmode117: heh, compaq makes them... [01:00] i dont think it is [01:00] an evo perhaps? [01:00] I had a presario. [01:01] i dont know [01:01] its dead and buryed though. [01:01] i have a stack of compaqs. the only way i could ever get cd burners (and some other hardware) to work on them was with pci=routeirq [01:01] whats that? [01:02] the only compaq I had was that one, Im just happy it didn't burn my house down. [01:03] Help: I installed Tastymenu, but it has not altered my menus eg its not functioning anyone suggest why? [01:03] godmode117: it's a method of re-routing the system interrupts if hardware isn't working right - fixes the problem 85% of the time. all you have to do, to test it out, is to reboot, press ESC when it's doing the countdown after POST, then edit the kernel line of the first entry to include: quiet splash pci=routeirq [01:03] will i have to do that ever time i want to burn a cd? [01:04] godmode117: negative, once the system is booted up like that, it stays that way until you reboot it next - but it can be made to be automatic everytime the system boots, if it works [01:04] ok, so when i do press esc? [01:04] my taskbars are still not working, the only thing what works is the system monitor, the time is not going forward, the taskbar down doesn't react on any click and doesn't change [01:05] godmode117: you don't want it too do that every time if it doesn't work :D [01:05] Snicks|Mars: easiest way is just to log out and back in [01:05] godmode117: when you turn on your computer and it goes through POST and finishes up, it gives you that little countdown before the UBUNTU logo shows up with the slider thing underneath it [01:05] actually i think ill just not burn cds [01:05] godmode117: you want to press ESC when the countdown starts [01:05] thanks for all the help Gnea [01:06] eh?! [01:06] one day ill fix this [01:06] lol [01:06] is there a list or something that i could look at to re add the repos to my sources list? [01:06] heh... okay [01:06] thanks again [01:06] Expl01ted, i know i can do that, but i have some programs open i don't want to stop [01:06] good luck [01:06] thanks [01:06] Can someone explain what swap space is [01:06] Snicks|Mars: then do this in a term killall gnome-panel [01:07] !swap | Amerikan [01:07] Amerikan: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [01:07] Amerikan, like page files in windows [01:07] Snicks|Mars: it should restart [01:07] if not typ gnome-panel & into a term [01:07] I'm running vsftpd on ubuntu. i want it so anytime i add a system user it creates another user for the ftp based off the system username and pass. But it doesn't seem to be working. What might i be doign wrong? its pretty much a fresh install of vsftp and ubuntu without changing any vsftpd.conf files.; [01:07] it is closed yet [01:08] hum somebody knows how to open a file.ttc ??? [01:08] Snicks|Mars: it didn't restart? [01:08] PineHead, you hav to edit the conf file [01:08] Expl01ted, yet it starts, perhaps because i gave the command [01:08] PineHead, you have to edit the vsftp.conf to allow local logins by usernames [01:08] first: disallow anonymous [01:09] Snicks|Mars: is it working now? [01:09] well i did disallow annoymous [01:09] second: allow local users [01:09] hum somebody knows how to open a file.ttc ??? [01:09] Let me see if i can find local users. [01:09] though it's yet logged in as root unfortunately [01:09] root? [01:09] i only had a root terminal and i couldn't start any other [01:09] well it says local enabled=yes.

[01:09] hey guys, is there a command that shows you the computer specs? [01:09] yeah its been restarted. let me just add a new user from scratch and see what happens [01:09] or reload [01:10] g0tcha: lshw [01:10] Expl01ted, i know, but i'll restart it without root [01:10] lol, how do you remove a user after doing useradd? [01:10] wingou, why do you want to open one? [01:10] PineHead, that's the wrong way [01:10] PineHead: deluser [01:10] Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me the package name for the tao framework in hardy? [01:10] whats the best way to add a user then? [01:10] :( [01:10] adduser [01:10] deluser [01:11] when two users are using ekiga, should they be able to automatically call each other using sip:their_respective_ips?

[01:12] is there a command to undo sudo ? [01:12] Snicks|Mars: yeah logout. [01:12] Hi. I broke my desktop keyboard but can use my laptop and synergy to control it. However I can't login without a local keyboard. Is there anyway to either logon or activate remote desktop via ssh? [01:12] basti, maybe for you. the GUI wasn't created for fun. the console wasn't created for nubs [01:12] to remove a user from the sudo list? [01:12] hmm still not working. [01:12] Snicks|Mars: or close the terminal [01:12] How can one inhibit the kernel update in apt-get ? [01:12] lol no i cant open it ! im looking for a program wich open it [01:12] Snicks|Mars: or open another terminal and run it. [01:13] I've got a production server that's 3000km away and I don't need to risk a dud kernel release fubar'ing it [01:13] my terminal automatically starts with root [01:13] PineHead, have you tried logging on as the user first? dunno if that makes a difference . . . [01:13] bofh80, whats hte proble with typing in some words instead of clicking? adduer foobar is much faster than clicking the user to the system [01:13] Snicks|Mars: you logged in as root. [01:13] but if i can't start any other terminal except from the command-line or so [01:13] Gnea, is there any other command? [01:13] Snicks|Mars: you must log out completely [01:13] Expl01ted, my terminal is logged in as root [01:13] local_enable=YES [01:13] is what i'm looking at.. [01:14] basti, right and how do you then set as admin, or normal user, there are scripts setup in the GUI for all the tasks, i don't need to remember 3 different commands and 30 different switches [01:14] i am logged in as my normal name, but yet my terminal is in root, so everything mus execute in root [01:14] what is #chroot_local_user=YES ? [01:14] basti, nor do i then have to explain every little function like i'm a demi-god or something [01:14] inflex: kernel upgrades might contain security fixes though. Remove linux-image-generic or whatever metapackage you are using if you really want to [01:14] you jail your user [01:14] Snicks|Mars: close the terminal or open a new tab. [01:14] PineHead, the user cant leave his homedir [01:14] g0tcha: that will list the system specs. [01:15] jrib: agreed, they might, however I'll have to personally install them [01:15] inflex, sudo apt-get --no-download [01:15] Hi I just installed Hardy and have problem with my wireless network.

[01:17] PineHead, i'd check your config to make sure you didn't inadvertanly take out a # or press enter somewhere [01:18] Pichu0102, or check your logs [01:18] PineHead, and do what he says, try restart again [01:18] how do u spell natilus tell me please [01:18] PineHead [01:18] g0tcha: tried reading the manpage?

[01:19] PineHead, check /var/log/messages [01:19] tailf it [01:19] Gnea, no, i didnt .. let me do that now [01:19] PineHead, it might not be loading because of an error in the config now . . [01:19] or better: the vsftpd log [01:19] :) [01:20] it should show an error if your config is corrupt like bofh80 siad [01:20] where can i find the vsftpd log [01:20] /var/log [01:20] I have a minimal install but need Xwindows and other default install packages.

You could run 'sudo update-grub' that should reinstall grub [01:26] Anza: assuming is what gets people into trouble. [01:27] Anza: You'll need to give us a bit more information than that.

[01:28] Flannel, POP I think [01:28] Mat1, if you want to use grub.. you must install grub to the master boot record. to be the boot loader. [01:28] Mat1: then you need to explain what didn't work exactly [01:28] i got linuxwith wubi if that helps [01:28] i tlooks like this is going to work [01:28] Mat1, wubi cant use grub.. as far as i know. [01:28] Mat1: wubi only uses the windows bootloader. [01:29] then how do i use grub [01:29] jrib: If you're interested, i ended up killing gdm via ssh and starting gnome-session.

[01:31] so how do i install ubuntu without wubi [01:31] Expl01ted, aparently he wants to use grub with wubu. which cant be done. [01:31] Mat1, you boot the cd. and do a 'normal' install' Not the special wubi setup from the cd. [01:31] if i do a x-server restart, it just fails, because i logged on and thereafter nothing except a simple box with what i can't do anything [01:32] i dont have the "real" cd just the iso [01:32] Mat1, if you have the ubuntu CD in your computer, and restart it, leaving it in, you should see a ubuntu boot menu [01:32] i can't figure out if i really have LVM or not! lvscan says 'No volume groups found', while qtparted says I have /dev/sda2 as an 'extended' partition with one child partition, of unknown type [01:32] Mat1: burn one [01:32] Snicks|Mars: create a new user using sudo adduser newuser then log in, see if that works. [01:32] df shows that /dev/mapper/carbon-root is my main file system [01:32] Mat1, burn the ISO to CD ? have you got Nero or EasyCD Creator or something ? [01:32] what's a good webcam/security capping software for ubuntu?

You might ask in ##windows for actual specifics. [01:35] where is boot.ini [01:35] Mat1, windows has a 'search for files' feature. [01:35] i can't open any new programs yet [01:35] boot.ini is by default hidden. [01:35] hi guys -- i'm having a lot of trouble installing ubuntu on one of my servers ... it boots from the cd, then it launches the install gui and says it can't find the cd-rom drive ! [01:35] Mat1: C:\boot.ini [01:35] Anza: is it possible that there are multiple thunderbirds running? [01:35] what's strange is that the install just worked on an identical machine [01:35] Snicks|Mars: create a new user and log into the new user.

[01:40] greencookie: sure, one sec [01:40] any of u guys are using virtual box? [01:40] greencookie: put the CD in, and Ubuntu should recognize it as having some packages on it in a small repository. fwcutter is one of them. [01:40] Hi, everytime my internet does down, and comes back up, I need to shut down my computer and boot it back up to reconnect.. I think the problem is that I need my network card to completely shut down or something.. is there anyway to shutdown my network card and start it back up through the terminal? [01:40] Jakob_the_liar: preferences accounts, then pop.gmail.com and use SSL [01:40] greencookie: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/b43-fwcutter [01:40] Jakob_the_liar: smtp.gmail.com and use SSL [01:40] evening gang....

I thanked the bot inadvertantly :) [01:44] i have a hard drive with another linux system on it. how would i mount it to get at some files i need? [01:44] the bot was programed by ubuntu officials it just says what they say [01:44] qwstar, mount -l [01:44] Ximal: er, is /dev/sda the hd that you're running from? [01:44] Expl01ted, what command was it? it didn't work and it only gave some colored squares [01:44] what servertype Expl01ted [01:44] yes if is sda and of is sdb [01:44] smtp?

[01:44] Jakob_the_liar: pop [01:45] there is no pop [01:45] its smtp or sendmail [01:45] Ximal: no, what I'm asking, is /dev/sda the hard drive that you installed ubuntu TO? [01:45] Flannel: I put in the CD how do I install fwcutter from it? [01:45] The bot is not perfect. and some of the bot factoids can be out of date. [01:45] true but the "ansers are proggramed into the bot by the "officials" [01:45] basti: it says that /dev/mapper/carbon-root is mapped to / as ext3. But what is /dev/mapper?? [01:45] true [01:45] Jakob_the_liar: for recieving mail? [01:45] sending [01:45] Jakob_the_liar: yeah smtp. [01:45] qwstar, its the device [01:46] for receiving i put pop? [01:46] Expl01ted, i did that, but some things always are wrong [01:46] yes .. sda is the drive that ubuntu is on [01:46] a very strange one [01:46] Mat1, not always. ive added factoids to the bot. and im not an official. theres a process i had to go throug. submited the factoid. and it got reviewed. [01:46] and authentication is password Expl01ted ? [01:46] Snicks|Mars: like what [01:46] How can I get my new install to boot to gui? [01:46] !botsnack | chocalate [01:46] chocalate: Yum!

[01:46] where is the inittab file? [01:46] Ximal: yes. [01:47] usr13, i dident think ubuntu used the inittab. [01:47] and for sending sendmail or smtp? [01:47] ok... will my drive still be stable though ? sda ? [01:47] Expl01ted, [01:47] Expl01ted, like x-server restart and your command [01:47] is anyone here using awesome 3 [01:47] does anybody know who had the "botsnack" idea [01:47] basti: any idea why I would have that? looks like it has to do with 'dmraid'? [01:47] Ximal: yes, it should be fine [01:47] user01, upstart replaces the inittab from what i am reading http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/since-we-have-no-etcinittab-506281/ [01:47] Jakob_the_liar: evolution asks for receiving mail questions before sending. your not asking in that order. what are you using? [01:47] ok... brb [01:47] Dr_willis: What does it use? [01:48] evolution [01:48] Snicks|Mars: no [01:48] i went back to make sure Expl01ted [01:48] !upstart | usr13 [01:48] usr13: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[01:50] Expl01ted, i didn't yet [01:50] didn't have any chance [01:50] qwstar, maybe. i have no raid. so i cant help you. but i guess if you google ist. you will finde something... [01:50] habernet, i ran that restricted-drivers tool for my hp laptop and it installed/downloaded the right ones. I forget what the icon is called. but its in the menus. [01:51] Expl01ted, do you know how to get it working for hushmail? [01:51] Snicks|Mars: all of your problems will go away when you add your new user and log into it. [01:51] i just installed b43-fwcutter and used 'b43-fwcutter' -w wl_apsta.o to install my broadcom drivers. Now do I reboot to get those drivers working or do I have to do something else? [01:51] Jakob_the_liar: no [01:51] hey guys, is there a way to force rsync to include dot files? [01:51] has anyone installed stunnel in ubuntu? [01:51] i just got a logitech g15 gaming keyboard, does anyone know how i can get the lcd to show the system specs [01:51] right now i got it to where it will show the time [01:52] dr_willis thanks, ill try to look for the icons in synaptics [01:52] would it just be pop.hushmail.com Expl01ted ? [01:52] Jakob_the_liar: no idea I would assume so though. [01:52] Expl01ted, i don't think so, because i think x-server won't be bound to an account or so [01:52] <_Zeus_> hey i need some help. my internet is messed up. I can visit websites by IP, but not by name. My /etc/resolv.conf file is empty, and resolvconf won't update it [01:52] Jakob_the_liar: check their site for how to set up for pop mail access [01:53] whats the name of the room for virtual box?

[01:53] <_Zeus_> you can download a .bin from the real website [01:53] <_Zeus_> it works just fine [01:53] ARGH! I have a Brother MFC 7240 printer and I can't get it to work on my network! [01:54] 'fine' with reaplayer is a relative term. :) heh [01:54] <_Zeus_> i use it :-P [01:54] How do I unmount a ghost drive? [01:54] whats the name of the room for virtual box? [01:54] slammed87d21 #vbox [01:54] <_Zeus_> anyone know how to fix /etc/resolv.conf? [01:54] anyone know a nice media player with support for shout/ice streams, and global hotkeys? [01:54] why us realplayer, there are plenty of realaudio codec clones without that junk on your system. [01:54] Is there a program built into ubuntu or one I can apt-get to synchronize my server to my DNS subdomain? [01:55] greencookie: can you connect to any wireless networks from the network button? [01:55] cshadowrun: I use MPD and audacious [01:55] Expl01ted audacious doesn't work with streams :o [01:55] cshadowrun: yes it does. [01:55] Gnea no it doesn't :p [01:55] Hmm.. I thought it did cshadowrun - i recall i had to save the stream url however.. [01:56] _Zeus_, do you connect to the net via a router? [01:56] cshadowrun: i listen to mp3 and ogg streams with audacious everyday. [01:56] i've tried a bunch in it, it just doesn't do anything if i try to play stuff in it [01:56] i get errors in console about neon.c :/ [01:56] <_Zeus_> bofh80: I'm behind a server and I have a static IP [01:56] <_Zeus_> it was working fine earlier, but all of the sudden ubuntu can't resolve names anymore [01:56] so it got my broken award, i would like audacious to work though [01:56] anyone wanna help me try to fix it? [01:56] _Zeus_, assumin you know that much, do you know what the DNS server is supposed to be? the IP? [01:57] cshadowrun: pastebin the error. [01:57] <_Zeus_> bofh80: yes, and i have it set. I can visit sites by IP :-P [01:57] Expl01ted kk, i'll get the lastest version from their site too [01:57] Gnea: Nvm. it turns out I had to install fwcutter and download the firmware, in my case broadcom drivers, and install it using fwcutter [01:57] now its WORKING :D hehe [01:57] <_Zeus_> but not by name (eg i can go to 72.14.207.99 but not google.com) [01:57] _Zeus_, you have set it, and it blanks itself out? [01:57] <_Zeus_> bofh80: no, i have internet [01:57] greencookie: awesome :) [01:57] i have a laptop with an 80 gb hdd..about 9 mb's of the hdd is left as free space because it is broken and sucks....ubuntu's live cd installer wont let me have the option of resizing the windows partition, how do i do this manually? [01:57] cshadowrun: btw audacious is meant to work identically like winamp... that means playing streams and such. [01:58] uhhuh [01:58] habernet: you can probably get a partedmagic livecd i suppose. I suggest a defrag of windows first though [01:58] cshadowrun: it even is able to use winamp skins :P [01:59] _Zeus_, you run something like sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and put nameserver 12.45.45.34 (the IP of DNS server) ? [01:59] geek_hokay ty i figured it out [01:59] hey, I have a wget question. how do I exclude all files containing or beginning with certain characters from a wget --mirror ? [01:59] can someone recommend a good bittorrent client please?

[01:59] my system seems to hang for about 2 minutes on Preparing Restricted Drivers, any idea why? I don't believe I am using any restricted drivers presently, just the open source ones in ubuntu.... unless ndiswrapper is considered restricted [02:00] _Zeus_, i know, normally dhclient3 fills it. however you can use the GUI instead [02:00] <_Zeus_> bofh80: what gui? [02:00] greencookie: sudo apt-get install transmission [02:00] _Zeus_, in the top right hand cornor you have the network screen icon yes?

It seems to skip dot ifles [02:05] hmm ubuntu doesnt have apf? [02:05] <_Zeus_> !dhclient [02:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about dhclient [02:05] _Zeus_, this is to do with the static ip . dhcp uses dhclient3 to get ipaddress information from the network instead of applying it manually [02:05] What command is used to configure X ? [02:05] gkffjcs: it shouldn't, what are the files, are they symlinks? [02:05] no [02:05] <_Zeus_> hmm.....

[02:06] yeah, and it doesn't seem to even try to transfer the files [02:06] _Zeus_, there is a tab to enter the DNS, you can set it manuall there yourself. [02:07] ezzieyguywuf, there can be drivers for your laptop that let you do it [02:07] gkffjcs: does the remote server accept .files? [02:07] <_Zeus_> ezzieyguywuf: use this [02:07] how do you mean?

I get a few different errors. When I try to use the Guided install (i want to dual boot with XP SP2) i get a "too small size" error. I definitely have enough free space on my drive. If I don't get that error, the partitioner will stall at 0% and after a few minutes throw an error with the message "??? ??? ???" [02:45] its evolution's junk amil filters Im having a bit of an issue with. [02:45] skd5aner, cool.

[02:55] http://pastebin.com/m8f49b07 what do i need to do to get it working [02:55] seb90210: Heres the funny thing. It happens on 2 drives, and to top it off, it runs windows xp disk off the boot or any ubuntu livecd, but after the kernel loads its garbage [02:55] or a seek failure something like that...a permissions prob should have told you if thats the case [02:55] xchat rocks, best one i have tried on linux so far.. best for windows = mIRC [02:55] i've installed sqlite and sqlite3 === ksatria-yakuza is now known as incubus_a7x [02:56] seb90210: lsmod doesnt show a cdrom module either, but I wouldn't know how to invoke it.

[03:16] i dont script so i dont know what o look for [03:16] Pici, well I have a core 2 duo with 4G of RAM, whats the suitable kernel for my laptop? [03:16] Jakob_the_liar: probably the same thing we did to the last one [03:16] well schedular i can't find anywhere, but there are several referneces to a blocklist importer under a peers tab ( i have no tabs) [03:16] jrib, ? [03:16] seb90210: What card, if it's atheros then new pre-n drivers are available [03:17] Jordan_U: remember sh -> bash? [03:17] Hi, how do I set up the php enviroment in ubuntu? Thanks [03:17] can anyone help slammed, his atheros card disappeared from the network manager [03:17] how do i get my wireless to work when my network manager doesnt recognize my hardware? [03:17] gonzaloaf_laptop: Well, you can either use -generic and lose a bit of ram, or use -server and lose out on some of the restricted modules, possibly including accelerated video. [03:17] Expl01ted: did you install the corresponding -dev package for libgstreamer0.10? [03:17] i have an internal atheros wireless card [03:17] jrib: probably not. [03:17] erf [03:17] !compile > Expl01ted [03:17] Expl01ted, please see my private message [03:17] linksys, wireless n (draft)...couldnt find any drivers not even beta..the x-fi yes [03:17] anyone know a decent OCR software that can handle photographs of handwriting/ [03:18] jrib: I know that sh -> dash in Ubuntu by default, and I often complain about bashisms :) [03:18] dosen't need to be 100% accurate, just mostly [03:18] i need a help to shutdown my pc. i ask to shut down but it don't cut the power, so i need to press the shutdown button. any ideia about what it is? [03:18] does anyone know how to get the wireless working again? [03:18] each time I reboot, my boot partition isn't always the same sdX letter.. i.e. sometimes its sda2 sometimes its sdd2. how come ? [03:18] wanusa_w_: sounds like ACPI issues to me [03:18] seb90210: Do you know the actual chipset, linksys doesn't tell me much [03:18] Pici, so using the -server kernel I cannot use privative modules? [03:19] geek and what i can do to fix it? [03:19] i do believe its the atheros, recall from searching it..only a,b,g available [03:19] gonzaloaf_laptop: Some of them are not available. I'm not sure which ones. [03:19] how can i get my laptop to recognize my wireless card? [03:20] i'd like to update a piece of software to something newer than what is in the unbuntu 8.04 stable repositories, is a mechanism for this within the package system? [03:20] join ##club-ubuntu-es [03:20] expectro: Not here. [03:20] hey slammed, is this a pcmcia card or internal? [03:20] como salgo a ubuntu en español [03:20] mattthebaker: is it in a repo? [03:20] Jakob_the_liar: do you understand or am I being a bit too cryptic? [03:20] !es | expectro [03:20] expectro: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:21] expectro, /j #canal [03:21] ya lo encontre gracias [03:21] can someone help me? [03:21] geek_: there is a stable build in the repo, but the bug fix i want hasn't propogated to it yet [03:21] una pregunta donde encuentro un canal musulman en español [03:21] slammed87d21, first you have to find out which card do you have [03:21] si se puede se que no va a qui la pregunta [03:21] seb90210: If it's atheros you can use the new ath9k drivers which support wireless n ( and are also completely open source ) [03:21] atheros [03:21] mattthebaker: you probably could build it yourself, and use checkinstall to make a deb [03:21] geek_: i guess i'm curious if there is a repo with newer unstable packages? [03:22] I'm trying to 'mount' an internal hard drive in ' / ' and having a hell of time. I've tried WIKI's and the Ubuntu Help site. How do you do this? I'm using UBUNTU LINUX - Hardy [03:22] dont really understand jrib [03:22] what next? [03:22] sorry [03:22] still new at this [03:22] slammed87d21, madwifi drivers should work [03:22] wo, ok Jordan thanx [03:22] mattthebaker: kinda. there's the PPA repos i guess [03:22] they didnt work last time my wireless didnt work [03:22] <_Zeus_> misteralexander: you can't mount something to /; it's already used [03:22] Pici: is there a copy of the C.O.C in spanish? I think expectro should read it [03:22] Jakob_the_liar: no problem, pastebin /home/johnny/bin/awesome-status [03:22] no entiendo ingles [03:23] seb90210: There is a .deb for it somewhere, let me see if I can find it [03:23] what else will work? [03:23] geek_: the app is evolution, my biggest worry is that i'd have to rebuild all of gnome.. not something i'd want to try [03:23] i did jrib http://pastebin.com/m76129131 its at the bottom [03:23] any suggestions? [03:23] [_Zeus_] Wherever it needs to be mounted so it shows up next to 'My Book' & 'File System' when I go to Computer.

[03:25] mattthebaker: don't think so. i beleive apt has a feature that will let you know what the build dependancies of a package are so you can plan ahead [03:25] Help: Barsero always errors on burn, whereas k3b burns fine any ideas?

The only thing I think that I failed to post to you was when trying to sudo mount /dev/scd0/ /media/cdrom/ I get another message that states "You must specify the filesystem type" [03:27] Dabbu, if u have a spare harddrive the size of your own [03:27] <_Zeus_> wanusa_w_: are you going to Quit > Shutdown? [03:27] lots of comcast users online tonight [03:27] [_Zeus_] ==> Anytime I mention the word "Computer" everyone imediately thinks I'm using Windows. I'm just trying to mount this damn volume so it shows up next to "File System". How do I do this??? I've tried my own research, to no avail. Please Help. [03:28] hey, i have a question about microphones in hardy. i know my mic works, as i can hear feedback on it through my headphones, but no applications will acknowledge it. does anyone know how to fix this? [03:28] yes, and i've already tried by written it like a command [03:28] usser:so what can i do [03:28] misteralexander: What are you trying to mount and where do you want to mount it to? [03:28] <_Zeus_> slacker: try this: sudo mount -t udf,iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 [03:28] slacker hmm thats odd too since the fs type is udf, iso9660 in the fstab [03:28] misteralexander: hello? this is #ubuntu, not the miriad of idiots that you're used to dealing with. everyone here uses Ubuntu Linux. [03:29] Dabbu, you have to boot into livecd, connect your harddrive, run dmesgdmesg [03:29] [Pici] ==> an internal 70GB SATA HD, formatted with ext3. [03:29] _Zeus: I get the same error message, however now it hangs for nearly a minute or two. [03:29] I had to "unmount" it to format, but now the damn thing won't "re-mount" [03:29] usser: then what will happen [03:29] misteralexander: do you see a 70GB drive if you click on Places? [03:29] misteralexander: okay, And where are you trying to mount it to? [03:30] Dabbu, to note its /dev/sd* name also u have to know /dev/sd* name of your internal hdd once u have that [03:30] mount dev/scd0 -t iso9660 /home/dir (mk that dir 1st of course) slacker [03:30] usser: yes ..i can do that...then [03:30] seb90210: Do you think it would be safe to assume that maybe my IDE Controller has fried out? [03:30] Dabbu, sudo dd if=/dev/sd* of=/dev/sd* where first sd* is your internal and second is external [03:30] Nautilus used to auto-refresh filesizes (as when files are downloaded, or mencoded), but it no longer auto-refreshes, would anyone know why? [03:30] ...it also doesn't auto-refresh when new files appear... [03:30] not if it works during the installs, etc.. [03:31] Dabbu, this command will make an exact copy of your internal hdd on the external one [03:31] [Pici] ==> I do NOT see it when I click on "Places". I'm trying to mount it in the "normal" spot where stuff should be mounted. Perhaps I'm confused by the question "Where" do I want it mounted. I want it to show up next to "File System", if that makes any sense. [03:31] <_Zeus_> Dabbu: be very careful with dd [03:31] <_Zeus_> you can very easily corrupt your filesystem [03:31] usser: can i use a DVD instead of hard disk [03:31] Bossmanbeta: auto-refresh is working fine here... did you change anything? [03:31] <_Zeus_> misteralexander: please don't put [] around the username; it's much better to just put the username and a : like everyone else [03:32] you can only break things with dd if you use it very very wrong [03:32] <_Zeus_> matthew_: ? [03:32] like dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=... [03:32] gnea no... it *used* to work, but in the last few weeks, it hasn't auto-refreshed [03:32] hey, i have a question about microphones in hardy. i know my mic works, as i can hear feedback on it through my headphones, but no applications will acknowledge it. does anyone know how to fix this? [03:32] [Pici] ==> Gparted sees it, that's what I used to turn it FROM an ntfs TO ext3. [03:32] _Zeus_: he has his tab complete set that way [03:32] ugh....ubuntu is acting weird....it was working fine a few days ago....now any application I run hangs but I can use alt-f4 to exist....the only working app is terminal....this is really weird...any help? [03:32] Dabbu, i dont think dvd would be large enough [03:32] <_Zeus_> matthew_: if you accidentally switch the a and the b, you hose your fs [03:32] Zeus: Okay. [03:32] Dabbu, how big is your harddrive? [03:32] <_Zeus_> i would consider that easy to mess up [03:33] Would anyone know of a way to check to make sure Nautilus is auto refreshing file sizes & new-file presence? I have to hit REFRESH manually... [03:33] Bossmanbeta: do you recall if you made any major system updates or changes? [03:33] usser: i have 10 GB for root and 24 gb for home [03:33] can anyone help me get stunnel running? [03:33] Bossmanbeta: i'm looking into it [03:33] seems Ill never get galaxium compiled. [03:33] well, the kernel wont let you screw the current filesystem [03:33] _zeus_ any ideia about my problem? [03:33] gnea, no I haven't. And even if I had for the sake of discussion, there should be a setting to reaffirm.... [03:33] <_Zeus_> wanusa_w_: your problem is? [03:33] !SMBus [03:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about smbus [03:33] to shutdown [03:33] misteralexander: Are you on a LiveCD right now or are you on your normal install? I'm just trying to get an idea of where you want to mount this. If you're running your normal install, you've already got something mounted to / , so you'd need to mount it somewhere else. [03:33] well I can google it, I thought I'd ask here real quick [03:33] seb90210: Here is another unique behavior, both /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0 both say 18.8 gb with no files present, and after mounting the iso to /home/dir that dir now says 18.8 gb as well.... [03:33] gnea well I can google it, I thought I'd ask here real quick [03:34] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, [03:34] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [03:34] (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use [03:34] ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) [03:34] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [03:34] Dabbu, i dont think theres a way to copy it straight to a dvd, u still have to store the image somewhere temporarily [03:34] anyone have an idea what's going on with my comp? [03:34] dmesg | tail or so [03:34] Pici: Normal Install. Just wherever it "needs" to go, to be a permanent hard drive. Eventually, I'm going to try and move the '/home' & '/usr/bin' directories there . . . if that helps any. [03:34] f*, that was a correct mount command but it looks like your hdd's are mixed up in there [03:35] Bossmanbeta: well, it's an important issue. a lot of changes have been made in hardy and it's not something that i've seen before, but if there is an easy fix, we should at least make it easier for others to get the fix as well, don't you think? [03:35] usser: ok..the image will be in which type.. [03:35] I lied it says 18.8 gb of free space ;) [03:35] gnea I'm running Feisty [03:35] gnea woops gutsy gibbon, sorry [03:35] misteralexander: Well, you can create a directory in /media/ name it anything you want and mount the partition there. [03:35] Bossmanbeta: hrmmmmm..... [03:36] gnea well all #ubuntu chats are logged, so if someone knew the answer offhand, I thought I'd ask ehre [03:36] if I find the fix, I can mention it here... [03:36] and everything , the ide, sata go thru a scsi layer anyways or rather emulated so wouldnt worry about any scsi options or messups [03:36] !info libanculus [03:36] Package libanculus does not exist in hardy [03:37] seb90210: Here is my whole fstab [03:37] # /etc/fstab: static file system information.

[03:37] gnea all accounts [03:38] gnea I was wondering if there was a setting it gconf-editor [03:38] Dabbu, u have to mount an external hdd somewhere and save it there, or dont store image in the file and just copy raw byte by byte data from one hdd to another like i suggested first [03:38] seb90210: did you get it or did it get dropped for spam? [03:38] Pici: can I move '/home' & 'usr/bin' onto that partition if I do that? This is a second hard drive, the filesystem is installed on 'sda' and i'm dealing with 'sdb' [03:38] Bossmanbeta: good idea.. [03:38] gnea yea, I didn't find it though [03:38] misteralexander: You can move /home there, but not /usr/bin/ as well. [03:39] Pici: let me guess, that's got to be on another partition, if I want to move it, right? [03:39] i got it, is there more than one optical drive..i see only one in fstab...what happens when umount /dev/scd0\ [03:40] is there a channel for hardware specific questions? [03:40] oops the \ [03:40] takamarou: ##hardware [03:40] minus the \ [03:40] I switched between 2, there both not hooked up simultaneously [03:40] tried that one.. any others? === EagleSn is now known as EagleScreen [03:40] umount: /dev/scd0 is not mounted (according to mtab) [03:41] misteralexander: I don't know of any way to mount a partition to two mountpoints, so yes.

[03:42] There, both not hooked up. The IDE cable and power cable are currently out of the second drive, they were never hooked up at the same time. [03:42] Pici: Okay, so I'm going to do this: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/slave ext3 . . . . right? [03:42] seb90210: There, both not hooked up. The IDE cable and power cable are currently out of the second drive, they were never hooked up at the same time. [03:42] Would anyone know of a way to check to make sure Nautilus is auto refreshing file sizes & new-file presence? I have to hit REFRESH manually... [03:42] Pici: is their an apt-get or something? [03:42] misteralexander: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/slave [03:43] PineHead: it sure is [03:43] seb90210: I just used the other drive to test if the optical drive was dead [03:43] hello [03:43] hi i just bought a sony vaio VGN-FW140E ... during install attempts using live cd i get screwed up graphics glitches all over the screen and the install goes into a blank screen. this is using boot off cd to try it out. does anyone have any idea why this is happening? [03:43] Bossmanbeta: i can't remember if nautilus relies on fam in gutsy or not... [03:43] i have even tried safe video mode install, i get into the os but there are 1 million mouse cursurs on the screen. and its glitched beyond recognition [03:43] hello, can some1 help me fix my skype. My sound settings are messed up and i need to know what to set them to. [03:43] gnea, you mean famd? I dont think so. [03:44] Bossmanbeta: right [03:44] voodz: did you try installing any video drivers? [03:44] this is me booting off the cd... also, the graphics when i used safe mode are unusable === uculd_a7x is now known as pangeran_bokep [03:45] impossible to navigate, it produces 1200 mouse cursors, icons when i move them etc, its really strange [03:45] voodz: I have never done this, before but I have heard/believe that you can install the drivers for the device prior to the install or include it in the install. [03:45] slacker ....umount /media/cdrom0 OR mount " (with a disk) it worked for me...not by device name (weird) but where it is mounted [03:46] voodz: What GFX card? [03:46] i have intel integrated graphics how is this a problem [03:46] hi when trying to nun fsck it stops at Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes and nothing else happens... the fs seems fine when I browse it and such but I'm wondering what could be causing this [03:47] Intel GMA 4700MHD (integrated) [03:47] i have a projector hooked into my laptop. the projector seems to detect a signal, but keeps resetting. how do i troubleshoot this?

[03:50] err whoops [03:50] lol [03:50] <[T]BludShoT> i tried installing off the live cd earlier (like 20 times) but it kept freezing up and the installation would fail, finally saying that the cd or hd was possibly bad (which is hard to beleive because i had ubuntu 6 on there before no problem). So somebody on this channel suggested I used the non-live cd, which i did, but it keeps failing with various errors [03:51] [T]BludShoT: Have you verified the CDs?

I'm too the point where I am going to reinstall ubuntu, but I learned that this doesn't ever really fix the problem as I am sure it will come up again. [03:51] <[T]BludShoT> i did the md5 check in the menu and it said it was ok [03:51] ah ok [03:51] i mean i mean /media/cdrom0 slack, sorry [03:51] I'm trying to make esmtp authenticate to my mail server. It's sending emails to the server, but not authenticating to it, so i can't relay. Anybody know how to fix this? [03:51] [T]BludShoT: you choose the "verify the integrity of this CD" or "Check CD for defects" option at the boot menu of the CD [03:52] <[T]BludShoT> ah yes, i did that [03:52] !who | Alan_M [03:52] Alan_M, please see my private message [03:52] <[T]BludShoT> it said it was good [03:52] hi does anyone can help me with enabling the online repository? [03:52] it mounts read only but works [03:52] sweet thanks [03:52] your welcome joustin :) [03:52] stevin1988: Which online repository? [03:52] hi - i have a serious problem on a new hardy install- it takes 6 minutes for gnome to settle in and the harddisc is spinning all the time, the system is super slow (but xp on dualboot is fine) [03:52] <[T]BludShoT> the first error was: [!!] Install the base system - Debootstrap warning - Warning: Failure while installing base packages. This will be re-attempted up to five times. [03:53] <[T]BludShoT> the 2nd error was: [!!] Configuring linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic - Unable to install the selected kernel - An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the target system. - Kernel package: 'linux-generic'. [03:53] [T]BludShoT: mm, that really sounds like a bad burn. You're sure you verified the alternate CD? Could be bad HDD too, I guess, or a bad CDrom drive. [03:53] :Jordan_U:i try to enable the repository using the software source.. but it couldnt download the thing.... [03:54] <[T]BludShoT> im 100% positive i verified the alt cd [03:54] stevin1988: Which repository? [03:54] <[T]BludShoT> but both the alt cd and the live cd had similar problems [03:54] seb90210: nether one worked =/. Also I noticed that in my root [03:54] omg I feel dumb now, there is a ubuntu build of galaxium. [03:54] [T]BludShoT: sounds like hardware issues then. Do you happen to have another computer to try with? [03:54] <[T]BludShoT> i also tried on both harddrives [03:54] seb90210: nether one worked =/. Also I noticed that in my root I have a 'cdrom' that contains nothing as well [03:54] <[T]BludShoT> and it failed on both [03:55] <[T]BludShoT> no, not handy [03:55] :Jordan_U:The error is"Could not download all repository indexes" when I click on reload button, thanks... [03:55] [T]BludShoT: how about another CDrom drive? [03:55] <[T]BludShoT> i have another cdrom drive in the computer, i guess i will have to rewire it to be the secondary master? [03:55] has anyone ever seen a SIGABRT when trying to compile a basic helloworld.cs using mono (1.2.6) ? I'm trying to setup a DekiWiki install for my employer. The debug info says its coming from mini-amd64.c in libc...just curious if there is any info out there on the root cause of this... [03:56] <[T]BludShoT> in order to boot from the other cd rom drive that is [03:56] wher is ~/.themes located [03:56] [T]BludShoT: You should be able to boot from whichever drive, even secondary slave, assuming your BIOS supports it [03:56] tsuna27: ~/.themes is a location. ~ is your homedir [03:56] <[T]BludShoT> i'll try but its unlikely [03:56] flannel: okay how do i find that [03:57] i'll be damned slack, this is all generic stuff... [03:57] tsuna27: are you using gnome? [03:57] Help: when a new version of Ubuntu is released, does it come through as a new release on your current release or a series of updates that are managed by Update Manager? [03:57] tsuna27: go to places > home folder, and then hit ctrl-h to show hidden files, and then there will either be a .themes folder, or you'll need to makeone. [03:57] the cdroms [03:57] seb90210 correct [03:57] alistair: yes [03:57] stevin1988: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update" ? [03:57] alistair: it comes as an option in update manager. [03:57] oh crap [03:57] Flannel, yes - a series of updates? [03:57] alistair: update manager deals with the new releases. It doesnt come as "regular" updates though. [03:57] OK tks guys [03:58] How do I get Hardy to probe for a changed network interface card? [03:58] alistair: No. You get a box above the normal list of packages asking if you want to upgrade to the next release. Regular updates are continued for a while even after new releases. [03:58] ifconfig [03:58] Has anyone had issues with Brasero?? I have switched to K3b as Brasero has been hopeless here anyway [03:59] seb90210: sudo mount /media/cdrom0 just makes the terminal hang. Im assuming this means it mounted correctly, but upon gnome-open /media/cdrom0 I see no files. [03:59] <[T]BludShoT> yeah, no, i can only boot from the secondary master cd drive, not the secondary slave [04:00] <[T]BludShoT> how can i confirm that my alt cd is *not* a bad burn? [04:00] slacker: No, if it just hangs then it has not mounted, it should be almost immediate [04:00] Would anyone know of a way to check to make sure Nautilus is auto refreshing file sizes & new-file presence? I have to hit REFRESH manually... [04:00] Jordan_U: It just stopped hanging when I pressed the eject button on the optical drive, and spit out the same error message I have been getting all night. [04:01] hello, I'm having trouble getting a Ricoh Co Ltd R5C843 MMC Host Controller (rev 11) to read an SD card in 8.04. There was a bug related to it that appears to have been fixed in march, but I'm not entirely sure how to troubleshoot this [04:01] [T]BludShoT: I personally think that you have demonstrated that satisfactorily, is there any way you can get the full output of the errors and what happens when you try the liveCD? [04:01] guys my disc is spinning constantly under hardy -where do i start trouble shooting? [04:01] [T]BludShoT, isnt there a checkmedia as one of the options when you boot it?

[04:05] <[T]BludShoT> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40547/ [04:05] Jordan_U, thanks i will read [04:05] well it cannot be bad fstype & theres no options....thats it i give up [04:05] firefly2442: Firestarter is not a firewall itself. it's just a front-end to iptables. [04:05] firefly2442: depends on your definition of 'safe' =) I would make a copy somewhere in case you injure it [04:05] Hello all-got a simple question, how to I set were the terminal window opens on my desktop (I use a semi transparent window, and it keeps loading on my conky info) [04:05] hi does anyone know where i can find list of exploits for nginx?

[04:06] ok well, basically, I want to have it start as a service on startup but disable the firewall portion of it [04:06] itai-michaelson: That may be the wrong bug, same issue but I remember one with much more info, this one may be a duplicate [04:06] z1ggy: that's hardly an appropriate question for a support channel. [04:06] firefly2442: chances are if you want to modify the startup conditions you can do it through the normal init.d configurations, let me find a manual for that [04:06] Rolaulten: call gnome-terminal with --geometry=whateveryouwant [04:06] is there a package that i can download, like man2html, that allows for stuff like typing "grep foo" or "info foo" or running piped commands in a web browser? [04:06] mneptok: why would that be inappropriate? it is in the universal repo [04:06] Discussion about the pros and cons of using Control Centre instead of Prefs and Admin?? [04:07] z1ggy: the app is. ways to exploit it are not. [04:07] Jordan_U, my system is so slow now that opera hasnt finished intialising yet... [04:07] <[T]BludShoT> Jordan_U, also, you asked what happened with the live cd. Well what happened is, I tried to install with the live cd, and it kept freezing at 15% of installing (on step 7) for hours, then I would reboot and try again. Then it started to ignore me when I hit Install, and instead booted up ubuntu off the live CD. So then I would try to install using the icon on the desktop. That kept failing similarly, and the last time it failed it said CD/ [04:07] alistair: personal preference [04:07] firefly2442: 'man update-rc.d' might help you [04:07] jirb: enter that in from the terminal or somewere elce? [04:07] mneptok: i need to audit that. packages doesn't give me anything [04:07] A quick VM question. I'm able to copy a file from ubuntu (host) to XP (guest), but cannot get the file to copy the other direction. Any ideas?

[04:07] jrib, sure, Im just wondering why some want the Control Center when the new method seems more relevant [04:07] mmm kay [04:07] Rolaulten: instead of starting gnome-terminal with 'gnome-terminal', you start it with 'gnome-terminal --geometry=GEOMETRY' [04:08] thanks [04:08] AeronTS: man2html is in the repositories [04:08] alistair: #ubuntu-offtopic is more appropriate then [04:08] ironically slacker i had a similar issue with slackware11, 12.1 but cannot remember how i fixed it - it was only good for one session anyways [04:08] Flannel, reread my question :) [04:08] Jordan_U, its a desktop and the disc is constantly spinning from boot. booting to x is fast but gnome takes years, there is nothing on top or dmesg [04:08] Quick question.

[04:53] What does Henrique de Moraes Holschu mean by 'EC' in http://www.nabble.com/-ltp-Question-about-battery-td17492372.html? [04:54] bdunlap: if it said anything about 'New device added', then it's probably on [04:54] bdunlap: should be okay to try to browse now [04:54] CorbinFox: well, i think it creates some .desktop files in ~/.local or some place... (dont quite remeber the location). you can try deleteing those. [04:54] gnea, nope no message. so i hit it again and received another apic error [04:54] Tommo-dmc: well its in a script, so php [04:54] or regex [04:54] bdunlap: o.O [04:54] [T]BludShoT: No, it won't, but if you run the command I gave you the floppy will be mounted @ /mnt, so the command to copy /var/log/syslog to the floppy would be "cp /var/log/syslog /mnt" [04:54] jrib: so what do i do [04:54] i am using openbox session and how to add an ncurses application in menu using obmenu .? for eg. i want a menu for my weechat-curses client [04:54] murlidhar: dosen't quite solve the problem.

[04:57] gnea, why not? [04:57] tsuna27: gksudo nautilus will give you permissions. Don't stray from /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin as you can mess up your system by modifying something incorrectly now. Pidgin is not intended to be modified using this theme by the way... [04:57] Jordan_U: also what does -e operator do ? [04:57] mikeb55: http://au.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php rather, sorry [04:57] murlidhar: Yes, but with a space after the -e [04:58] bdunlap: because verizon locked bluetooth [04:58] gnea, did you buy an unlocked phone?

[05:21] bdunlap: well, i have a wifi button on mine, but the chipset itself is not actually installed (I do IT for a living, so taking these kinds of things apart and actually looking at what is and isn't there is pretty normal), but if it ISthere, and nothing is happening, perhaps there's a BIOS setting that's disabling it?

[05:32] noob_oops: u can see the ntfs partitions on your file manager [05:32] bobertdos: no it is not enabled =( [05:32] <[T]BludShoT> and i dont really remember what the motherboard is [05:32] [T]BludShoT: hrm. yeah. you're a bit short of memory. i had some systems that are similar to that that i tried to install ubuntu on, and anything less than 256 megs of ram would simply not work right. [05:32] hello how do i remove HDDRECOVERY from my desktop [05:33] Would anyone know of a way to check to make sure Nautilus is auto refreshing file sizes & new-file presence? I have to hit REFRESH manually... [05:33] [T]BludShoT: if i were you, i'd try to increase the memory, or try a distro that's less resource intensive [05:33] Hello, do you know of a command-line calculator that does not truncate division results? bc does this and I need double precision values. [05:33] [T]BludShoT: try alternate cd . i am sure you won't be disappointed [05:33] <[T]BludShoT> murlidhar I have tried the alternate cd like 8 times [05:33] gaintsura: Well, given that you've already installed and configured the drivers, I don't know if this will work well for you, but the REAL way to install the ATI drivers is in the wiki. [05:33] [T]BludShoT: i have heard good things about mint linux lately [05:34] <[T]BludShoT> im gonna try Edgy Eft again [05:34] [T]BludShoT: did u do a base installation . or a distro that is uses less resources. [05:34] tsuna27: i have no idea... does it show up in Places? [05:34] bobertdos: care to point me to the wiki wiki? [05:34] d [05:34] <[T]BludShoT> if it wont install, then at least i can say, ok something went wrong with the hardware since the last time i installed edgy eft [05:34] gnea: how do i check [05:34] tsuna27: click on Places :) [05:34] <[T]BludShoT> well before i do that, [05:34] <[T]BludShoT> straight up, [05:34] <[T]BludShoT> this is all i want this computer for, [05:34] does the firefox you download from the site act like a portable version? [05:34] bdunlap: wb [05:34] gnea: yes its there [05:34] [T]BludShoT: use WattOS distro . [05:34] gnea, thank you [05:35] <[T]BludShoT> apache, php5, mysql, etc... for a local dev web server [05:35] [T]BludShoT: it runs very good on old hardwares [05:35] Is 'dock' short for 'docking station' in http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~walter/geek/linux-t40.html? [05:35] [T]BludShoT: okay - if it's going to be a server, why install an OS with a GUI? [05:35] gnea: so what do i do now [05:35] <[T]BludShoT> beause im a linux noob and i assumed that would be easier [05:36] <[T]BludShoT> and because the pc has had ubuntu on it for like a year or something [05:36] gaintsura: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI -- It can be a pretty risky thing to do if you've already tried to install them before, but you can give it a shot. [05:36] tsuna27: it is probably a separate partition on your main disk - your system wouldn't happen to be a dell/compaq/acer/something else? [05:36] [T]BludShoT: noob ? use wattOS [05:36] Gnea: I use a gui and I've got a webdev server on here [05:36] toshiba [05:36] gaintsura: with less than 256 meg ram? [05:36] oh [05:36] god no [05:36] I'd hang myself [05:36] <[T]BludShoT> haha [05:36] <[T]BludShoT> yeah this thing has 188megs of ram [05:36] bdunlap: any luck? [05:36] gnea, there was no setting for anything besides hard drive ide or something else, boot passwords, and bootup device ordering [05:36] <[T]BludShoT> i just checked [05:36] [T]BludShoT: wattOS is based on ubuntu [05:36] bdunlap: o.O [05:37] <[T]BludShoT> but dude, it ran ubuntu desktop v6.10 just fine (i mean kinda slow but whatever) [05:37] Geoffrey2: if you have imagemagick installed you can easily resize your images in batch, see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php for examples and options [05:37] [T]BludShoT: do you have another ubuntu system laying around? [05:37] <[T]BludShoT> no [05:37] <[T]BludShoT> i dont have any other computers i can mess up unfortunately [05:37] gnea: okay so i do dual boot, all i want to do is remove the icon [05:37] [T]BludShoT: what are you typing on now? wintendo? [05:37] <[T]BludShoT> xp [05:38] well at least it's not vista ;) [05:38] <[T]BludShoT> haha [05:38] gnea, i've made sure my phone is set to visibility-on so i dont know what else to do. GRR [05:38] is file manager same as file browser? [05:38] noob_oops: yes [05:38] <[T]BludShoT> what i just want to have is this web server for internal development, not for access by the outside world [05:38] <[T]BludShoT> so i can do php, mysql [05:38] <[T]BludShoT> and i want to have a virtual harddrive thing [05:39] i can't find my windows files there... where should i be looking? [05:39] <[T]BludShoT> so i can work on the files right on the server [05:39] [T]BludShoT: can u try out wattOS on it [05:39] [T]BludShoT: XAMPP for Linux sounds like what you need. [05:39] bdunlap: okay, pastebin this list please: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep blue [05:39] <[T]BludShoT> and not have to upload crap [05:39] gnea: i need help [05:39] noob_oops: don't u see any windows partitions in the file manager ? [05:40] tsuna27: well, it's probably important that it remain on the system... as far as keeping it off the desktop, can't you delete the shortcut? [05:40] no the icon is on my desktop and i cant delet it [05:40] gnea, http://pastebin.ca/1184949 [05:40] <[T]BludShoT> does wattOS have a website... im trying to find it.. [05:40] noob_oops: can u send the screenshot of ur file manager . ? [05:41] [T]BludShoT: planetwattos .com i think [05:41] help, cant install vlc, it says broken packages [05:41] [T]BludShoT: my suggestion would be, is if you can figure out a way to display remote X applications on your XP system, install ubuntu server on the system and set it up, then just export X display to the XP system and run any GUIs you need that way === ryaxnb is now known as ryaxnb2 === ryaxnb2 is now known as ryaxnb3 [05:41] tsuna27: The partition is probably beilg seen as a diskspace.......open gconf-editor scroll down to nautilus open desktop and uncheck media [05:42] [T]BludShoT: If all you want is a Dev Server i still think running XAMPP on a localhost server would be your best option. It's quite easy to use and works really well in a Dev environment. [05:42] paul____: sudo apt-get update --fix-broken [05:42] <[T]BludShoT> i suppose but i really didnt want to run the server on my main computer [05:42] Hello [05:42] <[T]BludShoT> and i wanted to run it on linux not windows [05:42] murlidhar: will try [05:43] <[T]BludShoT> ok so, Gnea, you are saying i should install the ubuntu server with no gui [05:43] bobertdos: I've actually been through almost all of that, I didn't see much difference [05:43] noob_oops: please upload to a picwizard.com [05:43] <[T]BludShoT> i figure if i do that its going to be super complicated to get the web server going tho [05:43] murlidhar: didn't work, still broken [05:43] bdunlap: oh my... well, that looks pretty much what i've got going here... there's got to be something we're missing [05:43] I don't want to be rude, but how do I go about finding an answer to my problem? [05:43] Ask it [05:43] Asadia1: but have patience [05:43] wbmj: where is gconf- editor [05:44] [T]BludShoT: yeah - the GUI seems to be your major drawback on there, and since it's going to be a server anyway, would it not be better to devote those resources to apache? [05:44] Ok, I have dl a antivirus, and it's saying it doesn't have a program to open it...what's the deal? [05:44] tsuna27: alt-f1....then type gconf-editor [05:44] Asadia1: What's the file extension on the file you downloaded? What's the anti-virus you downloaded? [05:44] <[T]BludShoT> Gnea, yeah i guess i'll try that. I mean, it seems logical that the reason ubuntu 8 can't install is cuz its just not light weight enough for this old crappy computer [05:44] .exe and AVG [05:44] wbmj: alt+f2 is the 'run' window [05:44] gnea, the only other thing I can figure is it's a defective laptop [05:44] Asadia1: .exe will not work in linux [05:44] oops [05:44] gaintsura: and fglrxinfo still gives you indirect rendering? [05:44] Asadia1: Are you on ubuntu? .exe is a windows executable [05:45] Asadia1: look into ClamAV or similar for linux [05:45] Asadia1: hmm exe doesn't work in linux [05:45] yeah I just installed Ubuntu today...Ok ClamAV will do. [05:45] bobertdos: yes, not direct [05:45] [T]BludShoT: like i said, i've had the same problem, and solved it the same way - it's just a matter of reallocating resources to their most effectiveness [05:45] gnea, i dont even remember bluetooth being installed or working or trying to work in vista (what it came with) [05:45] Thank you. [05:46] Asadia1: Also don't forget to use synaptic, it's a lot more streamlined and typically more stable than custom downloaded programs, even if they're popular ones [05:46] noob_oops: done ? [05:46] Ok thanks. [05:46] gnea, i saw another program that i installed - its a huge bluetooth icon. i tried to turn the 'radio on' and it said resource unavailable [05:46] wbmj: wher in the conf editor [05:46] murlidhar: sorry, but... how? [05:46] gnea, and it says no devices [05:47] after log in it says some thing bout home file being ignored y [05:47] tsuna27: apps/nautilus/desktop.. [05:47] noob_oops: go to picwizard.com and upload it and give me the link . that's it === ksatria-yakuza is now known as hilang === hilang is now known as hilang_ingatan [05:47] gaintsura: Well, if nothing changes after a reboot, this might be a little difficult to troubleshoot. I can tell you from doing it myself that it does work pretty well from a clean install. [05:48] tsuna27: apps/nautilus/desktop..then uncheck volumes_visible [05:48] bdunlap: this is very disturbing.... http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Acer_Aspire_7720G === hilang_ingatan is now known as hilang [05:48] gnea, i do not have "G" [05:48] noob_oops: wait a second [05:48] is it alright to add hardy sources in gutsy? [05:48] gentoo is very disturbing itself [05:48] murlidhar: bad link? [05:48] bobertdos: the weird thing is... I installed catalyst like 4 months ago and it worked fine, since then a plethora of upgrades and now it doesn't work, no new upgrades in about a week [05:49] bdunlap: well according to http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/acer.html, the only reports are from G users === hilang is now known as anjinx [05:49] <[T]BludShoT> one time i tried to install gentoo and my brain exploded [05:49] wbmj: YES YES YES its gone thank u [05:49] pce [05:49] noob_oops: sorry it is picturewizard.com [05:49] np [05:49] bdunlap: so i wasn't sure if G was a sub-model or not.... so i guess that rules that out :) [05:49] Is there a list for the Ubuntu filesystem? Like what the various folders are used for? I'm doing a re-install and when i install stuff i want to stick it in the right places and such. === anjinx is now known as hilang_ingatan === hilang_ingatan is now known as ksatria-yakuza [05:49] damn what a huge chan :D [05:49] gnea, it's the same model but with more ram and a better graphcis card i think [05:50] gnea, no bluetooth? [05:50] gaintsura: Well, I'm guessing one or more of those upgrades changed Xorg or some of the open source drivers and now they're probably butting heads, 'ya know? [05:50] what would i use to unrar a .rar file in gnome? [05:50] bdunlap: think you could take off some panels and see if the bluetooth chipset is installed? [05:50] gnea, but what the hell do i have a bluetooth HARDWARE button for?!?! === ksatria-yakuza is now known as hilang [05:50] right, well I reconfigured xconf from scratch, and afaik the ati/fglrx drivers haven't been upgraded [05:51] gnea, um. i could try. not sure if i'd get it all back together though.... [05:51] bdunlap, no cursing [05:51] bdunlap: for the same reason i have a wifi button and no wifi builtin: to cut costs [05:51] murlidhar: No prob. it's at http://www.picturewizard.com/pic.asp?u=13268B9/0/Screenshot-bstreator-FileBrowser.png [05:51] k20a: right click on file.....archive is an option [05:51] wbmj its a .rar and not supported for regular file archives [05:51] bdunlap: well, do you have the manual for it? [05:51] gnea, somewhere... maybe. [05:52] hey guys i just installed a fresh 8.04 on an acer aspire one... the wifi does not work - the proprietary drivers are installed but i still get nothing... i think there is a madwifi patch for this... should i go for it? [05:52] bdunlap: i would highly suggest locating it first, so you make sure you're opening the correct panel [05:53] noob_oops: click one up . and see on the left panel === ksatria-yakuza is now known as tAmPaK_GiLa [05:53] noob_oops: did u ? [05:53] gnea, i found the manual online. [05:54] bdunlap: i just found this too: ftp://csdftp.acer.com.tw/Aspire_One_Linpus_Linux/Aspire_One_Source/ [05:54] k20a: sudo apt-get install unrar [05:54] Anyone know how to get Anno 1701 to work in ubuntu? [05:54] gnea, from the manual: Windows Mobility Center also includes Acer-specific settings like Bluetooth Add [05:54] Device (if applicable), sharing folders overview/sharing service on or off, and a [05:54] shortcut to the Acer user guide, drivers and utilities. [05:54] murlidhar: not seeing anything that i'm looking for. [05:55] noob_oops: did u click the up button ? [05:55] gnea, does that mean its windows-only bluetooth? [05:55] murlidhar: Yes, to my Home Folder [05:55] bdunlap: not sure. [05:56] gnea, is that possible - to restrict any OS accessing it but windows? [05:56] noob_oops: press one more time [05:57] bdunlap: very, VERY rarely. [05:57] bdunlap: but, acer is linux-friendly, so i'm sure there must be a solution. [05:57] u should see a folder called media === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [05:57] murlidhar thanks i got it working [05:57] noob_oops: u should see a folder called media [05:57] k20a: np [05:57] Hi, how does the ubuntu installer enumerate hard drives? I ask because at the end of the isntaller it asks if you want to install the bootloader and it shows (hd0) How do I find out what hard drive hd0 is? [05:58] Jack3: hd0 is the MBR [05:59] noob_oops: can u give me the output of hf -h [05:59] wmbj I have 5 hard drives and have had a very hard time with grub. is tehre anyway to figure out the physical name of hd0? [05:59] wbmj, or what it is in fdisk -l? [05:59] !pastebin | noob_oops [05:59] noob_oops: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[06:00] any real linux people here? [06:00] brb [06:00] jameswf-home: what is that? [06:00] glitsj16, thanks, I'm working with imagemagick now, seeing what I can come up with [06:00] gnea, i would think that since my wifi on/off button works, the bluetooth button should work. it seems like i need to compile a new kernel OR find some mod or something....? [06:00] Jack3: grub numbers hard drives from 0 whereas the filesystem starts from 1, so hd0,0 is the first partition of your first drive, ie sda1. hd1,1 is the second partition of your second drive, ie sdb2. [06:00] noob_oops: i have to go brb [06:00] http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~walter/geek/linux-t40.html recommends to spread out the IRQs a bit. What tools can help to spread out the IRQs a bit? [06:01] Denham2010, is there anyway to verify that ? I know the Master IDE hard drive is where I am installing linux to, but I want to be positive [06:03] SplashTK, you need to change your setting for the output [06:03] bdunlap, where do I do that, alsamixer?

[06:06] Jack3: sorry for the delay. Which partition did you install linux in? [06:07] SplashTK, make sure they are all on 'autodetect' except for the bottom one - put that on HDA Intel (alsa mixer) [06:07] k [06:07] anyone? [06:07] SplashTK, now click the test buttons and that should get rid of that nasty noise [06:08] thinkgnu, cute name [06:08] bdunlap, is something meant to play during test? :P [06:08] bdunlap: :D [06:08] mah [06:08] SplashTK, yes a beeeeep for all of the playback ones [06:08] murlidhar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40575/ [06:08] bdunlap, did all that, went to rythmbx, play a song and still static [06:08] no sound during test either [06:09] bdunlap: can you reach ftp://www.linpus.com.tw/pub/source/livecd ?

[06:09] bdunlap: yeah, same problem here [06:10] gnea, don't you hate it when that happens? you think you may have found something but the server is down. i've had that issue recently. [06:10] Gigadelic_IIDX: if you're patient, yes. :) you say the password is incorrect? [06:10] gnea, apparently the server is down or no longer a server [06:10] it was working till it crashed not to long ago [06:11] What window managers are people using nowdays? [06:11] Does anyone here play World of Wacraft in Ubuntu via Wine (WoW installed on Ubuntu partition)? [06:11] ever since i install ubuntu all i been having is random lockups [06:11] bdunlap: drives me up the wall. :) [06:11] bdunlap, nope tried several different apps, even system sounds have the static [06:11] Splash, do you have all on autodetect? [06:11] trojatra, some do. just ask your question, and it'll be easier for them to help you [06:11] bdunlap: or maybe an earthquake knocked taiwan out :o heh, yeah right...

Have AverMedia A16AR DVBT + FM installed (SAA7134 card 99) and all detected. DVB works perfectly, radio is installed and registered to /dev/radio0. Have tried ivti, fm, gnomeradio and kradio. All tune into radio stations (signal indicators confirm this) but I do not get any audio. Thought it may be something to do with pulseaudio, but killing the pulseaudio daemon has no effect. [06:14] Gigadelic_IIDX: are you sure you own the system? [06:14] ThersiT, I found one i like but i cant remember the name, it's in synaptic though, search for rss [06:14] ....... [06:14] Martiini: Gnash is very in development, it's better to use proprietary Flash if you don't have an issue with copyright issues. [06:14] what do u mean [06:14] clear [06:14] sorry [06:14] trojatra , flash crashed firefox [06:15] Gigadelic_IIDX: yeah, see, this question right here.... 00:13 < Gnea> Gigadelic_IIDX: random lockups or only during certain times? is not a yes/no question.... you need to clarify which one it is.

"Unable to mount Volume" something about the mountpoint containing a wrong character.. can someone help me fix this? [06:29] what do you need Gigadelic_IIDX [06:29] bdunlap: What file system should I do? [06:29] yeah i am not liking the performance of flash so far [06:29] amerikan, if you have mostly linux files and text files, I'd do ext3 [06:29] when i so to services of network manager i get "you cannot access the system configuration"--no prompt. i am an admin. i can do it from another user account. how to i fix it [06:29] lovinglinux: or you can use the sysv-rc-conf [06:29] work doc, school crap i really need [06:29] any solution to my problem with eclipse... [06:29] im jsut saying did i help you???? Gigadelic_IIDX [06:29] scientus: you can theme qt apps with either qt3-qtconfig or qt4-qtconfig packages [06:29] oh no [06:29] bdunlap: Thanks. DO you think I should make a swap partition? [06:29] same thing [06:29] ra21vi: what is that? :-) [06:30] Gigadelic_IIDX: any luck with the routeirq? [06:30] I am unable to use the latest eclipse 3.4 on wubi installed Ubuntu, same package is working on my other dedicated ubuntu PC... please check http://pastebin.com/d691c5c53 and suggest me. [06:30] what id your problem Gigadelic_IIDX ? [06:30] noob_oops: can u go to the terminal and type df -h and give me the output ? [06:30] Amerikan, if you already have a swap, then no. You don't really need one for a simple storage partition. [06:30] lovinglinux: I am getting problem with eclispe and some other bins to execute in my machine [06:30] it keeps saying its wrong [06:30] bdunlap: I don't have a swap at all yet [06:30] your passwd [06:30] anyone know why flash wont work at all in poera? [06:30] dont kknow what the sh** problem is while I am lacking time [06:30] ? [06:30] opera? [06:30] look in pm [06:31] ra21vi: are you asking for help or for time, because I'm totally Linux newbie. [06:31] ok, well, i'm out for now, later all [06:31] amerikan, sure you can make a swap. wouldn't hurt, might help. [06:31] lovinglinux: no :) thanks [06:31] ra21vi: Eclipse is a compiler? [06:31] ide [06:31] amerikan, you don't need more than 2 or 3 gigs of swap. You could probably get away with 800 mb. [06:32] Hi, is anyone able to help troubleshoot a FM radio on Linux? [06:32] amerikan, unless you are a graphic artist or something like that. [06:32] Denham what tuner? [06:32] bdunlap: Can I pm you in a bit? [06:32] amerikan, for what? [06:33] bdunlap: I'm not sure about the swap making process. [06:33] it a philips tuner......TEA5767 [06:33] when i so to services of network manager i get "you cannot access the system configuration"--no prompt. i am an admin. i can do it from another user account. how to i fix it [06:33] amerikan, it's as simple as creating a new partition and choosing 'swap' instead of journeled or ext2 or 3 filesystem. [06:33] lovinglinux: no dear, it is a very nice one for many prrogramming languages IDE.. once you learn it, you will love it, and more you love it , more you will be frustrated by its performance [06:34] bdunlap: Do you have to mount it or anything? or does linux do it all? and do I just leave it there after I make it [06:34] linux will notice it's swap and auto-mount it [06:34] seb90210: kernel modules are all installed, radio programs tune, but no audio. [06:34] Thanks a ton bdunlap [06:34] amerikan, you're welcome :-) [06:34] ra21vi: doesn't ajunta work the same as eclipse [06:35] I passed the UUID that blkid gave me, and it still gave me a kernel panic [06:35] murlidhar: I'm here. [06:35] is there another irc where people will actually listen to your questions???? [06:36] noob_oops: go to terminal [06:36] all i ever do here is help other people and never get my question awnsered [06:36] murlidhar: there is much difference [06:36] its all noobs [06:36] i guess i came at a bad time... [06:36] Den, i cannot help you except to say it is supported, all the philips are, terratec and hauppage and suck...the audio - theres out from the card and in to the soundcard but then it gets fuzzy as far as the external or internal [06:36] hey there; is there a way I can do this with ubuntu: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/connectionmethods/windowsics.htm [06:36] such...not suck lol [06:36] scientus: same here but i like what i do [06:36] scientus: expectable that you help others and not get help... I usually end up just rephrasing the question 5 to 10 minutes later and that helps [06:37] noob_oops: can u be a bit faster [06:37] murlidhar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40581/ [06:37] noob_oops: i am losing time [06:37] seb90210: Thanks seb, it's an AverMedis DBVT +FM hybrid. the DVBT works perfectly in Myth....just the radio giving me grief. [06:37] alot of the issues are in the alsamixer as far as aux-in, audio setings, etc.. [06:37] murlidhar: sorry [06:37] Is it possible that the root paramater for GRUB isn't (hd0,0)? [06:37] gnome-keyring seem to still be buggy. i keep getting errors but my it works for other users. how can i reset it? [06:38] I copied it from the other entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but it's causing an error >.> [06:38] to unlockable apps just wont come up [06:38] noob_oops: what is the size of your hard disk [06:38] murlidhar: 120 gig [06:39] scientus: not sure.. i never use it that much, but if you know the package name, purge it with apt-get and then reinstall it [06:39] will not be of much help then, I've got a Terratec and a Hauppage...the Terratec has the philips tuner...i use the plain headphone/speaker jack on both ends to hook it up from the tuner to the soundcard [06:39] scientus: not 100% sure if yuo can do that though [06:39] Kohlrak, i dont think i can purge it cause its a dependant of ubuntu-desktop [06:40] Thanks seb...I'll keep trying..... [06:40] scientus: then it's gotta have configuration files somewhere. (not sure where though cause i havn't even used ubuntu for more than a year and never had the gumption to look for this stuff) [06:41] scientus: typically, if you delete configuration files, it'll try tomake a new one from scratch, but i don't know if the keyring is the same way so use that as a last resort if you can't decypher the config files [06:41] hey everyone, can you help me to fix this error when I try to access my windows drive "You are not privileged to mount the volume 'OS'." [06:41] noob_oops: i am afraid that u seem to have ubuntu installed on the whole hard disk and hence u have lost all the data that was on windows and other drivers. [06:41] MIKED: sudo? or maybe you have hds locked in the bios? === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [06:42] murlidhar: would it be worth trying a data recovery lab? [06:42] noob_oops: u should have asked somebody before installing linux about how to install [06:42] noob_oops, do you have ntfs tools installed? [06:42] don't know === steve_ is now known as spideyman [06:42] noob_oops, search for ntfs in synaptics [06:42] uh [06:42] noob_oops: i guess u can recover it by trying data recovery [06:43] i dont think I have anything locked in bios [06:43] Miked: do you have to enter a password to see grub? [06:43] i dont know [06:43] Kohlrak: he has 120 hard disk and has installed 103 gb on ubuntu [06:43] does anyone know what pacages/configureation files the gnome unlocker uses---is it based on keyring? [06:43] Kohlrak: so that means his whole hard disk is formatted [06:44] murlidhar: he's missing 7 gigs... ubuntu doesn't take 7 gigs. [06:44] if I type grub in consol it just takes me to the grub prompt [06:44] I dont have to type in a password or anything [06:44] miked: i ment when you turn it off an turn on your computer. [06:44] Kohlrak: ubuntu took 103 gigs [06:44] murlidhar: where's the other 7? [06:45] yea I have to type a username and password to get into ubuntu [06:45] but thats it [06:45] Kohlrak: /dev/sda2 106G 2.3G 103G 3% / [06:45] murlidhar: so you think i installed over everything, or just lost all the addresses? [06:45] nothing with grub [06:45] kohlrak: i have libntfs-3g23... [06:45] how do you update the system time against a time server? My Ubuntu servers time is almost 12 hours off [06:45] Kohlrak: ubuntu is installed at / [06:46] noob_oops, if you've had that and tried to get to your ntfs drive, it's gone. [06:46] miked: hm... that's odd then. [06:46] negge: ntpd or ntpdate [06:46] Denham2010 all i can really say is all the Hauppage cards are well supported in linux and by far are the choice cards especially the 1212 model [06:46] murlidhar: i still wanna know what happened to that 7 gigs. they just don't disappear, but it does seem that the ntfs is gone [06:46] I just rebuilt a partition table on a disk I needed using fdisk, any chance of getting the data back? [06:46] Kohlrak: i am not sure . but i strongly recommend u to go to a data recovery lab if really have important data that u cannot afford to lose. [06:47] are there any topical channels about the parts of ubuntu????--if i have a problem with a gnome ap i can jsut go to that channel and get help [06:47] ss23: not really, not without a solid level of knowledge and time [06:47] * ss23 crys... [06:47] having a gazilliionn installing type questions make it had to get bug help [06:47] ss23: as long as you havn't wrote to that area, you should be able to recover it somehow... however... it won't be easy [06:47] any ideas on how to fix it ? [06:48] Kohlrak: remember that it is 103 gigs so file system takes needs its own space [06:48] kohlrak: murlidhar: the data i'm looking for is photos and music. probably about 35-40 gig worth... :( [06:48] data recovery services - those are for windows users :) [06:48] murlidhar: 7 gigs? That's alot of space... [06:48] I havent touched it at all, I just booted up thinking I changed the right disk and turns out I did it to the wrong drive [06:48] negge: the type od data doesn't change the senario [06:48] Havent changed/written anything. So no quick fix? [06:48] I have sshv2 installed (the new one). can i also install the old one? [06:48] Kohlrak: but 120 gigs too is [06:48] ss23: I'd consider that data gone, and start looking into making backups in future [06:49] Well I did [06:49] ss23: no quick fix that i know of [06:49] I backed up everything to that drive [06:49] :( [06:49] Sekure: there is only one verion provided by ubuntu, and it supports both V1 and V2 drive [06:49] ss23: then the data should still be on the other drive then [06:49] noob_oops: your data's gone if it's that much [06:49] Kohlrak: my 20 gb partitions gives me 19.3 gigs [06:49] I still had stuff I needed on it [06:49] ss23: then the data should still be on the other drive then [06:49] NOT found, module ssh2 disabled [06:49] Get it from http://0xbadc0de.be/ - use v0.11! [06:50] On ubuntu does php default to version 4 or something instead of 5? [06:50] noob_oops: i know i understand u . but :( [06:50] Sekure: what command are you using [06:50] Sekure: no, version 5 [06:50] oops [06:50] Sirisian: version 5 [06:50] noob_oops: don't worry too much . even i lost a lot of my family photos . 4 years before. [06:50] ikonia: I'm compiling something... [06:51] murlidhar: shoudln't be 7 gigs though... i would expect more of something like 1 gig. But oh well... [06:51] Sekure: wgat exactly ? [06:51] thats one of the messages when i type ./configure, for hydra... [06:51] so much for a good saturday morning project... === Sekure is now known as Secyourbox [06:52] noob_oops: those times . data recovery wasn't too helpful . but now times have changed . who knows [06:52] noob_oops: just try not to download alot. download your data recovering tool and might want to ask around in irc instead of looking for help on the web as that takes more space on your hd [06:53] noob_oops: the more you download, the less chance you have of recovery [06:53] Sekure check the configure options, openssh has V1 and V2 compatability on ubuntu [06:54] Secyourbox: check the configure options, openssh has V1 and V2 [06:54] noob_oops: after experiencing bad experience it is always advisable to back up importand data on a cd or dvd with the slowest burning possible speed. and backing up at different places [06:54] I read the README, and it says to use the old one... [06:54] Hello [06:54] noob_oops: u there ? [06:54] sup? [06:54] hmm 120GB hdd should give 103 or so when formatted thats not unusual, theres no missing GB's...always can boot knoppix to see any drives [06:54] murlidhar: yep [06:54] Secyourbox: I apprciciatre that but openssh on ubuntu has version 1 and 2 support [06:54] hmm, where can I get assistance on the forums? It says I login but it jumps me right to the main forum page on ubuntu and as the login prompt again [06:54] dunno [06:54] good [06:54] What need I say to console to remove something? [06:54] how do I check the configure options? [06:55] psp: rm [06:55] ok [06:55] ubuntu security seems to be down :( [06:55] noob_oops: don't waste time . send the hard disk to a data recovery lab. anything recovered now is gold . [06:55] Why's that? [06:55] Is there a way to record online radio streams? I'd like to schedule a recording of a media player stream to a set schedule for later listening. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? [06:55] pteague: what do you mean? [06:55] Secyourbox: ahh ok, I've just read some doc on it [06:56] Secyourbox: it looks like that the physical ssh client - not the verion support, thats in ubuntu is not compatible [06:56] I can't remove folders with rm? [06:56] i can't get the security updates... it seems to be the only repository i can't connect to atm [06:56] psp: -r [06:56] rmdir [06:56] murlidhar, kohlrak: Thanks for all the help. Wish me luck at the lab. [06:56] noob_oops: best of luck [06:56] security is slowwww [06:56] for me too [06:57] tom_ usually things (depending on the program) are sent to tmp. For instance, you view a site with flash videos (like youtube), you can find the flash video files (flv) in the tmp [06:57] like 10+- kb/se [06:57] noop_oops: good luck. [06:57] Fde thanks :D [06:57] noob_oops: remember my points for future [06:57] ok, there we go... finally letting me get the kernel update [06:57] murlidhar: I've definitely learned my lesson. and thanks for all the pointers. [06:58] Kohlrak: yes, but this is like an online internet radio station. I want it to login and start recording the stream at a certain time and then stop at a certain time on a set schedule. [06:58] hi all === Secyourbox is now known as sekyourbox [06:58] hi [06:58] tom_ #ubuntu-offtopic might be able to help with that. you're probably gonna have to look for that in synaptic. [06:58] Kohlrak: and the station is in media player format. There is a windows program that will do this but I'd much rather do it in linux -- it's cleaner if it's possible. Windows and server don't go well together imo [06:59] tom_: i guess it needs some bash scripting . yes it's possible . but i am yet to learn bash scripting :( [06:59] i trieed removing myself from admin and the dialog still wont popup [06:59] ikonia, cant use it? [06:59] tom_ i know, i used to run a server from windows xp... very unstable... [06:59] sekyourbox: can you please stop changing nicks [06:59] can anyone tell me why this is happeening to me? is there somthing with ldconfig or what? [06:59] does any1 no of a msn messenger client for ubuntu that would allow me to play windows live games like uno since windows live messneger doesnt work in wine? [06:59] I am unable to use the latest eclipse 3.4 on wubi installed Ubuntu, same package is working on my other dedicated ubuntu PC... please check http://pastebin.com/d691c5c53 and suggest me. [06:59] ikonia: im trying to remember my registered nick, sorry [06:59] windows live messenger sucks imo [06:59] murlidhar: bash scripting? what actual program would I use to actually get the stream though? I've tried wget and it doesn't like media player streams [06:59] s3a: don't know if you can use pidgin for IM [07:00] d4r1os: ya pidgin is my favourite but it doesnt support the games for wen i want to play with my gfd [07:00] * murlidhar scratches his head [07:00] sekyourbox: from what I've just read it looks like you've got to go and get a very old client version and build it, but I'd strongly recommended against that, as it most likley won't work against things like the current version of openssl and it won't be very ssecure any way [07:00] pidgin is compat, less the viral crap like in the real msn [07:00] tom_: some streamer . [07:00] ra21vi: wrong path name to eclipse it seems... [07:00] tom_: yeah gstreamer. [07:00] s3a: ah ok... hm... dont know if there is another IM client supporting that feature [07:00] But pidgin doesn't support fancy webcams etc :P [07:01] which is in itself viral [07:01] hey can any one help me? [07:01] whats the matter dorange [07:01] ikonia: what if i only use the service when i need it?

[07:09] pardon me murli [07:09] pabix, sounds like you have a emulated sound card and you processor is overloaded [07:10] gaurav__: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:10] pabix, and maybe truecrypt had a low nice rating that gives it high priority [07:10] could be [07:10] sudo ps aux | grep truecrypt [07:10] I installed 8.04 x86 on a machine with a GeForce 6600 and the nvidia driver causes weird patterns on screen [07:10] it is not happening right now [07:10] sudo renice -1 truecrypt [07:10] is this a known issue and is there a fix? [07:10] gaurav__: that should install all the general flash and java packages [07:11] s3a: Thank you for explaining. [07:11] kriebel: weird problems with graphics drivers are very common [07:11] scientus, why -1 ? +1 is better ! Thanks for explaining [07:11] idk most mounts give like a -3 or -5 [07:11] and dear that day what happen was that wile installing linux i distrb my windows partation and it's ntfs files got currupted so somehow i restore only my data den again re-install my win n now both are running very well === jimmy51_____ is now known as jimmy51_ [07:12] lol nice. [07:12] Kohlrak, yes, but I can't be the only one, and it's a little annoying to have happen on an LTS release [07:12] wb Myrtti [07:12] mulridhar i didn't find the good sound output here in linux any thing i can improve [07:13] kriebel: best thing to do is google or wait till the room's calmed down a little. graphics issues are a painful and long task. [07:13] Kohlrak: what should be uninstalled, the eclipse iw downl;oaded as tar.gz and extracted in ~/bin/eclipse [07:13] ok this damn network manager thing is killing me!!! [07:13] gaurav__: hmm i am not sure . i found linux sounded better than xp im my pc [07:13] murlidhar: thanks [07:13] every time i fire up a vpn connection, my dns gets screwwy. [07:13] grendal_prime, "you do not have sufficient permissions to access the resource"? [07:14] kriebel: what drivers are you using for that card ? [07:14] hi, any1 from portugal ? [07:14] ra21vi: always look for a package in synaptic first. Just get rid of all the files you extracted (have fun finding out what they are with all the files it likes to install) [07:14] is anyone currently using an Atheros AR5007? [07:14] kriebel: I assume your using the ubuntu supplied drivers in "driver manager" for nvidia [07:14] whoops grendal_prime "You are not allowed to access the system configuration." [07:14] ? [07:14] gaurav__: probably a driver problem [07:14] no scientus thats not the problem [07:14] ok damn [07:14] thats my problem [07:14] hello [07:14] ikonia, I tried those and the "envy" ones, both have the same problem [07:15] is ndiswrapper version 1.53 available for 8.04? [07:15] Im just very use to doing things via the interfaces file. [07:15] can i install that my chipset drivers here like we use to do in windows [07:15] yes evaluate [07:15] grrrrrrrrrrrrr...im going o bet [07:15] kriebel: well, first of all, I'd never use envy (just for your information) and can you describe the issue a little more [07:15] Kohlrak: ok thanks, but in repository the eclipse is too old, 3.2 , and I downloaded 3.4 , so switching to synaptics is not in Option, [07:15] gaurav__: no . kernels are for that [07:15] chumpas: the update manager doesn't display it though, where can i find it please? [07:15] then [07:15] in windows they are working well [07:15] you can find it on google [07:16] but in linux dey are very low [07:16] just type ndiswrapper and it will take you to their website [07:16] ikonia: when gnome loads (oddly it doesn't happen on the login splash), the whole screen looks like a quilt [07:16] chumpas: ok, thanks [07:16] ra21vi: that's odd. What's wrong with 3.2? The difference is in the program itself not the programming of your code. [07:16] what exactly are you installing Evaluate? [07:16] an Atheros card? [07:16] kriebel: out of interest have you tried using the "nv" driver ? [07:16] but this really strange, the bash is showing very stupid error, not much information p[rovided, and also I can not find the references on Internet to fix that/.// I think the Ubuntu i installed using Wubi is corrupt.. I always rely on base Ubuntu installation./.. uhh my luck to use Wubi [07:16] ikonia, some things are tilted about 45 degrees. some stuff has noisy lines through it. fresh blits are clean some of the time, like new menus [07:16] murlidhar , yes you're right gaudrav has the chipset drivers already installed - he's thinking the windows way, so bothersome [07:17] ikonia: yes, nv works fine, but it's not going to cut it for this machines intended purpose [07:17] chumpas: yes [07:17] which one? [07:17] kriebel: no, I appriciate that, I'm just curious to what does / does not work [07:17] chumpas: no idea =) [07:17] How do I install programs that are .jar files? [07:17] chumpas: i have a X51RL Asus Laptop [07:18] holyguyver: they are java - you don't install them you run them in a JVM normally [07:18] ra21vi: since when has bash ever been descript? unfortunately, errors are never as descript as the documentation for programs in linux IMO [07:18] holy drag them to a browser window [07:18] hi :) any1 form portugal ? [07:18] chumpas: i don't really know what the chip is, but i have the windows drivers for it taht work [07:18] ikonia, how do I run them in a JVM? [07:18] evaluate, check your IM window [07:18] !br | artemis [07:18] artemis: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. [07:18] holyguyver: java $file [07:18] **private window [07:19] Kohlrak: 3.4 is fast and good performing, and less memory usage... well please ask the eclipse developers not to releasse... also Ubntu should not be relases to frequently with just small changes.. Poeple can use the 1st Ubuntuversion , it just matter of OS use. why should one bother about the latest technology... Hey, I am going to build a bullok cart. Why a car... uhh [07:19] hey everyone, can you help me to fix this error when I try to access my windows drive "You are not privileged to mount the volume 'OS'." [07:19] ikonia, I put that into the terminal but with the file replacing the word file? [07:19] eeeew, xchat moved channel list from the window menu to the server menu [07:19] MIKED sudo mount whatever [07:19] MIKED, you should probably edit your fstab file [07:19] holyguyver: the jar file, holyguyver you may find it benificial to read up a little but on java applications [07:20] MIKED: use sudo mount /media/path/to/mappe read /etc/fstab [07:20] hello [07:20] holle eligos [07:20] ra21vi: i agree. I'm sick of ubuntu upgrading and making major changes in the programs and not minor changes along the way so it's smooth (look around how many hardy issues we have here) [07:20] just swap e and o. [07:20] ok [07:20] anyone know of a good file sharing client [07:20] you just told me 3 different things [07:20] can any one tell how can i uninstall the virtualbox when i installed it [07:20] what should I do [07:20] alot less than vista [07:20] eligos: depends on what you share... [07:20] mp3 [07:20] Kohlrak: i too dont just upgrade every sec... but when something good comes out of developes pain, I just use and enjoy their work [07:20] sudo mount [07:20] anyone has used manslide here> [07:21] ikonia: I managed to udpate the time, just had to find a suitable ntp time server [07:21] thanks for the hint [07:21] ra21vi: aye... I've also noticed that package approval for ubuntu seems slow [07:22] Kohlrak, for MP3 [07:22] how to create bridge in ubuntu [07:22] network bridge [07:22] i nead to make a video slide show. what program can u use? [07:23] MIKED: is there a Details link in the error box when you try mounting the windows drive? [07:23] roberto, kino, maybe? [07:23] ikonia, please read this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40586/ [07:23] or cinelerra [07:23] eligos: frostwire... then there's the direct connect port. [07:23] usually you get that message when you have shut down Windows uncleanly [07:23] no there is no details link [07:23] eligos: frostwire is alot like limewire if you've used that. same network so same results [07:23] @pabix kino does a video slideshow? or its a guess? [07:24] kohlrak, ok thanks, I'll give it a shot [07:24] roberto, it is a guess. [07:24] negge thats correct - then you can use the -force option and mounting works [07:24] how to uninstall the packages an d tools [07:24] gaurav__: sudo apt-get purge [package name here] [07:25] Is there a way to set up Compiz so it acts kind of like the 'Spaces' feature of OS X? I tried to emulate it using Desktop Wall and Expo, but this allows windows to stretch across more than one of the virtual desktop. (i.e, if I have a window taking up most of the screen on the top left desktop and move it half a screen to the right, half of the window is now on the top left desktop and the other half is on the top right). [07:25] bombshelter13: join #compiz-fusion [07:25] bombshelter13, I want to know how to do the opposite. I can't figure out how to get a window between spaces on OS X [07:26] IMO, they should move the compiz channel to a "graphics" channel for general graphics issues as well [07:26] there is no details link; how do I go about fixing this error then ? [07:26] how can i view the .swf files [07:26] ? [07:26] kriebel: Both ways are useful, sometimes, but unforunately it's the other that I'd like now. :/ [07:26] throw .swf files into a browser, same as jar [07:26] gaurav__: what swf files? [07:27] ikonia, any idea what that means? [07:27] bombshelter13, there's probably advanced options for that. might be in another module, infact. query #compiz-fusion [07:27] drag 'n drop [07:27] Kohlrak swf is flash files [07:27] holyguyver: i know that much, but i don't know which ones he means. [07:27] whats the ubuntu offtopic irc [07:28] while i am not able to view the flash plugins files in firfox and i installed packages of the restricted java and all [07:28] !offtopic | OmfgItsAShark [07:28] OmfgItsAShark: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:28] now can i know how can i view the youtube videos and the swf files in firfox === mjponce is now known as kenami [07:28] hey guys ive been trying to install ubuntu on a P3 866mhz/128mb, the 7.04 and 8.04 standard cds hang after after the menu, so im to a xubuntu 7.04 alternate cd now, so what should i add to the boot options other than noacpi? [07:28] gaurav__: hardy or gutsy? [07:29] qaurav by installing flash from the restricted repo or else from flashes site [07:29] hardy or gutsy???????????????? [07:29] It is easy to compile flesh from source [07:29] gaurav__: you need flash plugin instaled in firefox [07:29] gaurav__ what version of ubuntu? [07:29] hardy [07:29] whats the offtopic irc???

(i don't quite understand what you're saying) [07:30] but i am not able to view the youtube site videos it coming white screen where the video is [07:30] What is a good program for burning avi files to dvd? [07:31] hindi [07:31] scientus: how old is your computer that SSL is causing a slowdown? [07:31] anyone know the hindi channel? [07:31] white screen denotes flash not installed [07:31] anyone have any thoughts on smuxi for irc? [07:31] when you like to have like 5 tabs open [07:31] no dear [07:31] and also it is kinda old [07:31] gaurav__: try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [07:31] i use pidgin [07:31] gaurav__: have you ever played videos before?

[07:32] dear legend it's already installed [07:32] gaurav__ but never in ubuntu? [07:32] holyguyver: I've told you to do a little bit of basic reading on how to run java programs [07:32] or a computer with Atheros AR5007 [07:32] hello [07:32] well i am a newbie so till now not yet [07:32] holyguyver: I think you need to provide some arguments to java to tell it what in the JAR to run [07:32] ikonia, but I am asking you to tell me what this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40586/ means. [07:32] also the ssl makes more latency probs [07:33] i was wondering what to do if my /var partition doesnt have enough room for an upgrade to the latest release [07:33] its not the processing [07:33] a JAR is just a zip file, if you're really curious [07:33] holyguyver: and I've just told you [07:33] its the endless pings/requests [07:33] ikonia, thank you [07:33] Is devede a good program? [07:33] holyguyver: you use "java" to run it, but you'll need to do a little bit of reading to understand how the jvm->java applications work [07:33] Theaxiom: try it, see what you think [07:33] ikonia: Thanks [07:33] anyone? Compaq Presario c700? [07:34] or Atheros AR5007? [07:34] Theaxiom, it is [07:34] ikonia: I am too used to Windows with the pain of installing/uninstalling [07:34] linux is so EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!! [07:34] I LVOE UBUNTU!!!!!!!! [07:34] devnull: make a new partition/lv, boot single user or a live CD, copy your /var into it, delete the old /var contents, edit /etc/fstab, and reboot [07:34] !quit [07:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about quit [07:34] chumpas: ssaying "anyone" is a pointless statments, if someone didn't see the question saying "anyone" doesn't help", if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know [07:35] we'll Im just throwing it out there [07:35] kriebel ... thank you very much [07:35] thing is I've been trying for over a week to get that card going in 8.04 [07:35] chumpas: as I said, saying anyone in a channel is pointless [07:35] we'll I can't go asking one by one [07:35] can I? [07:36] chumpas: no, but just ask the question, wait for a response, if no response is given, repeat the question/short summary [07:36] chumpas, what is the issue; be very clear [07:36] Okay, I have a Compaq Presario c700 series with an Atheros AR5007 [07:36] chumpas, saying 'anyone' will never get you help. [07:36] and I can't get wireless to work [07:36] is there anyway to login to launchpad non-ssl [07:36] ??? [07:36] even after i sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, it wont let me change my login screen [07:37] * dextone bbl init 6 [07:37] any help? [07:37] scientus: look around their site... [07:37] What video output do I want to burn? PAL or NTSC for US DVD players? [07:37] chumpas: I've just found about 25 threads on ubuntuforums.com discussing your card and how to get it working [07:37] I know [07:37] I've tried them :P [07:37] Theaxiom, NTSC is the US standard [07:37] chumpas: all in hardy, all showing the pitfalls [07:37] kriebel: That's what I thought, thanks. [07:38] I'm not really good as you can see [07:38] chumpas: bottom line is it looks like that card is not detected rightly [07:38] ikonia, a screenshot worked! http://backup.cawinet.com/foo.png [07:38] I need someone to walk me through this [07:38] chumpas: that card also doesn't look supported due to it being a madwifi card and wrongly identified [07:39] kriebel: you could put that in an art gallery =) [07:39] krel: if it's a driver error with the nvidia drivers, you'll have to log a bug with nvidia, however, I'm wonder if anything obvious like monitor refersh rate may help ? [07:39] kriebel: sorry, that comment was for you === lordfdisk is now known as LordFDisk [07:39] it does seem to be a framebuffer thing... I looked into disabling kernel framebuffer without much luck [07:40] dont try to run that here lord === dextone is now known as De[X]tone [07:40] kriebel: what graphics card is it? [07:40] I'd put Debian on it, but I want to give this to a guy who's new to all this... baby steps [07:40] 6600 GT, I think [07:40] 1 sec === De[X]tone is now known as dextone [07:41] ikonia: how can i edit the startup script . i don't want services like wacom or ufw in the start up scripts [07:41] !boot [07:41] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [07:42] hey everyone, can you help me to fix this error when I try to access my windows drive "You are not privileged to mount the volume 'OS'." [07:42] thanks Slart [07:42] hey people, I need a particular user to have permission to chown it's files to someone else, but do not want to grant this permission to all users (i.e. rstchown = 0). Any suggestions? [07:42] murlidhar: update-rc.d [07:42] Slart, it's a gigabyte gv-nx66t128d [07:43] japheth: a sudo group ? [07:43] if you wanted that much detail [07:43] japheth: you mean sudo things or permissions to a file? [07:43] ikonia: and where can i find that ? [07:43] murlidhar: it's a binary on your ystem [07:43] system [07:43] please I have a question , when I connect to wifi network using ubuntu 8.04 should I always configure the connexion ? [07:43] MIKED: oh, I told you the way, anyway, open gnome-terminal , then sudo nautilus .. give your current password, and it opens the nautilus, go to computer and mount it [07:43] ikonia: application ? [07:43] Kohlrak: ikonia: I basically mean, I want user1 to be able to run the command "chown user2:user2 myfile.txt" [07:44] kriebel: that was fine, thanks... just curious what would create such a weird screenshot [07:44] murlidhar: no, a sytem binary [07:44] MIKED: I am not sure if it will show the drives in root launched nautilus file maanager [07:44] Kohlrak: ikonia: currently, only root can do this, due to "rstchown = 1" [07:44] MaRoUaNe53, if you join that network often, then save the config [07:44] ikonia: path ? [07:44] japheth: yes which is why I suggest creating a sudo group [07:44] if you're just hopping on, then don't [07:44] Hi everybody [07:44] hi [07:44] murlidhar: it's in your path, just type it [07:45] I'm surprised the screenshot showed the errors [07:45] do you know if there is a way to develop to iphone over ubuntu???? [07:45] ikonia: i think he means without sudo, which i think would be hard to do. [07:45] ikonia: i just transferred my Warcraft III files from my ntfs to my home dir and saving worked fine, so like i said its not a wine issues, its a permissions issue :) [07:45] ikonia: thanks :) [07:45] ikonia: will creating a sudo group limit user1 to only be able to do chown, or will they basically have full root access then? [07:45] Why is everything faster in linux? [07:45] Hey everyone, noob here [07:45] Kohlrak: I appriciate that, but you can use such things as "sudo" groups, then a shell alias may work around his issue [07:46] dty545: wine doesn't like using exturnal drives that well. [07:46] add self to sudoers [07:46] japheth: just down, thats it [07:46] How can I close a nonresponsive fullscreen application? [07:46] Theaxiom: :) [07:46] japheth: chown only [07:46] Kohlrak: its not external its a partition [07:46] ikonia: i know that, andi was about to suggest that, but diddn't know how picky he was... [07:46] Zuwxiv, xkill? what DE are you in and what do you mean by "fullscreen"? [07:46] dty545: it's exturnal to the virtual drive of wine. [07:46] ikonia: ok, thank you very much. I'll look into how to do that then. thanks again! (thanks to you too Kohlrak) [07:46] What does "chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error" mean if I want to chroot into a mac-system? [07:47] Has the name for Ubuntu9.04 been announced already? [07:47] I had a game running, and I can't get the terminal up, so xkill isn't working [07:47] The-Compiler: it means it can't execute /bin/bash (probably because /bin/bash isn't on a mac system) so it's not emptied the chroot [07:47] The-Compiler, you need to chroot into a FS that has a shell for your kernel/standard library [07:47] KenSentMe: no [07:47] KenSentMe: it's marked as intriped [07:47] it's full screen, so I can't click on any of the Ubuntu interface [07:47] KenSentMe: it's discussed in #ubuntu+1 [07:47] ikonia: intrepid is 8.10? [07:47] i have c mapped to this ntfs drive and run WoW no problem [07:47] domas: ahh well done [07:47] sorry :) [07:47] KenSentMe: 9.04 doesn't exist yet [07:48] Zuwxiv: You can get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 ( F7 to get back to X ) [07:48] domas: most appriciated [07:48] ikonia:, kriebel: So how can I chroot into it? [07:48] The-Compiler: launch the shell the mac uses [07:48] Zuwxiv, if you can ctrl-alt-f1 and get to a console, then you can try to gracefully reboot, otherwise you'll have to reboot [07:48] ikonia: can you point me to a particular link that will help me work out how to create a sudo group with particular permissions? [07:48] ikonia, thanks for the info. Maybe i had missed something during the holidays [07:48] ikonia, kriebel: There is a /media/mac/bin/bash and a -/bin/zsh [07:48] how can I kill the app from the terminal? I tried killall, but I'm really new at this, couldn't figure out how to use it [07:48] thanks for the help by the way [07:48] The-Compiler: You can't chroot into a mac system from linux [07:48] japheth: google up: visudo "/etc/sudoers" [07:49] Zuwxiv: you can try ctl+c [07:49] ikonia: I don't think the Mac/BSD/Mach binaries will work in LInux [07:49] kriebel: I'd be surprised [07:49] so he can't chroot [07:49] Zuwxiv: What is the program? [07:49] Kohlrak: thanks, I'll give that a look [07:49] Zuwxiv, dare I say read the man pages for kill, killall, and ps ? [07:50] Zuwxiv; or if its not the current app, sudo kill 'pid', u can use top to get pid [07:50] kriebel ikonia: it's possible as it seems they all use the same syscalls, however the libraries and such differ dramatically. [07:50] japheth: can't find one off the top of my head but the man page covers it [07:50] Kohlrak: I didn't say it wasn't possible [07:51] ikonia, Alright I got that app started, now I have another question, how do I instal a js extention to Konqueror? [07:51] program was some game, a space sim IIRC [07:51] maybe you could copy linux's bash into the tree somewhere, and provide that as a shell [07:51] holyguyver: no idea, I guess the guys in #kubuntu or #kde would know [07:51] how do I use top to get pid? [07:51] The-Compiler , one should be able to mount hfv volumes read-write, therefore gaining root [07:51] uh, Now I am bored and frustrated, everyone is saying there is error in eclipse I download, can see the basic complain from bash [07:51] ikonia, thank you. [07:51] I could use some help with compat-wireless [07:51] Zuwxiv: don't, just kill it [07:51] ah nvm [07:52] Zuwxiv, you need to figure you the name of the executable that ran, which ps might call the "image name" [07:52] I installed an update earlier today, which apparently broke madwifi [07:52] in favor of "compat-wireles" [07:52] ra21vi: it's probably the setup. the first error i noticed was that it said file not found... [07:52] GNOME does a great job of hiding that from users, which is a terrible idea [07:52] how can i restore apache configuration file? purge and re-install didn't do it [07:52] Kartagis: it does [07:53] I did some research, and I found that in order to use the drivers for my wifi card (atheros 802.11n based), I need to use "ath9k" [07:53] is here someone who can guide me === jimmy51_____ is now known as jimmy51_ [07:53] Kartagis: delete the conf file after purging (even though it should do that automatically) [07:53] dpkg-reconfigure apache2 maybe [07:53] but it seems like the only way to do that is to use wireless-testing [07:53] name was vegastrike [07:53] which involves a complete kernel rebuild [07:53] so nothing works [07:53] !ask | ra21vi [07:53] ra21vi: 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. :-) [07:53] Kohlrak: that will lead to more problems [07:53] Kohlrak, i tried that too [07:53] Kartagis: purge apache2.2-common [07:53] if the process ID is vegastrike, can't I just kill it? [07:53] Zuwxiv, killall vefastrike then... [07:54] no, that's the name. the process ID is a number [07:54] wols_: how can that make things worse? [07:54] Zuwxiv: process IDs can't be names, only numbers [07:54] hmm it worked, but didn't do anything [07:54] oh ok one sec [07:54] my PWD is thr dir which has eclipse bin, when i do file eclipse it show s the information abotu ELF Linux bin with shared libs, and when i do ldd eclipse it shows that not a dynamic executable . Kohlrak * [07:54] so what's the command? killall 6477? [07:54] Kohlrak: if you delete config files, dpkg will assume you deleted them on purpose and not recreate them on reinstall [07:54] (that's the PID) [07:54] Anyone know a good program like peerguardian but for Ubuntu? [07:54] Terralthra: Are you trying to install ath9k ? [07:55] Zuwxiv: killall uses names, not PIDs, kill uses PIDs [07:55] The-Compiler: you need to read what ever i have typed till yet in this channel.. then prompt [07:55] ah okay, still very new at this (obviously) [07:55] ra32vi: maybe you accidnetally downloaded the windows eclipse or something like that. if it says it's not an executable, it must not be. [07:55] ra21vi: what'S wrong with the ubuntu .deb for eclipse? [07:55] Hmm, I used both killall vegastrike and kill 6477 and nothing happened [07:56] kill -9 [07:56] wols_: he wants the updated minor version... the .deb is too old for him. [07:56] Zuwxiv, it might be the case that your graphics card just won't come back [07:56] ra21vi: tried the debian sid deb? [07:56] well I found one way out of it hehehe [07:56] killall -user [07:57] not the most elegant but it worked [07:57] Zuwxiv, also, in UNIX, commands that succeed often don't return (print) anything [07:57] anyone from portugal?

I've used Ubuntu and variants off and on, but I was using it like a grandma. The terminal was like a poison to avoid.

[08:03] gaurav__: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:03] exzrael_: Not exactly a solution but the flashblock extention helps [08:03] i have installed that already still not working [08:03] hxplay-11.0.0.4052-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin i am not able to install dis file can any one help me out [08:03] gaurav__: did you close ff then open it again?

[08:09] gaurav i'm not sure of these issues with flash or flv but the medibuntu and ultamatix repos take care of the install process [08:09] ra21vi: transmission-cli [08:10] Elite: Basically, there are multiple distrobutions of linux. Ubuntu is only one of them. However, the standard linux kernel (not a distro, just the kernel) is usable [08:10] ra21vi: rtorrent is good :) === SoulSlayer is now known as anewbie [08:11] glitsj16: thanks [08:11] Kohlrak: so I assume its basiucally command line then?

[08:15] !wine | alistair [08:15] alistair: 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. [08:15] Elite: if it has hardware access... [08:15] gnash doesn't work with other flash sites besides youtube, its not perfect...

(personally i prefer vmware, not sure i used what you're using) [08:17] <- wtb housemate who isnt a total dumbarse in computers [08:17] but flash in general has no issues with firefox, just make sure it's properly installed....yep make sure you have the repos and not just an install thru a redirect to the adobe site [08:17] carlosb: in case you're worried, this is the situation where rm -rf is the correct command [08:18] ???/ [08:18] just don't do it on / [08:18] shabda i think it's calls flash-plugin-mozilla or some variant thereoff [08:18] good morning [08:18] Elite: it can work, but it would be bad as a VM. overhead [08:18] morning [08:18] what does -rf do, chubs?

[08:19] carlosb: the -rf removes recursivly and forces removal [08:19] carlosb: it means remove folder [08:19] Elite: higher ping for example. but it depends what host and what client you use, and what VM solution [08:19] Elite: meaning VMs are slow, and therefore it would be slow [08:19] carlosb: -r is recursive (deletes all files under the directory) f is force [08:19] Ah ok got it [08:19] the package manager (gui) one should do it, search for flash [08:19] neawesome, thanks everyoe [08:20] Elite: to make a router like you want, all you need is ipmasq and dnsmasq. and a PC with 2 network cards at least. or more [08:20] and by that i really meant: awesome, thanks everyone [08:20] Could not open the file /home/gaurav/Desktop/hxp…-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin using the Unicode (UTF-8) character coding. ???????? can any one help me about this error i em trying to install but it is having this error [08:20] well I will dig out my HDD and fire it in and throw my other HDD"s on the raid card :) [08:20] wols I have a switch so I only need on [08:20] i really dont remember off the top but anything flash related hmm how about sudo apt-get install flash* [08:20] gaurav__: what is this?

[08:21] gaurav__: "sudo sh" and then this long .bin filename [08:22] gaurav__: you can just run sudo apt-get install helix-player [08:22] Elite: no. there are ways but they re ugly, very ugly [08:22] wols what do you mean ugly?

[08:22] nomopofomo: I rate it [08:22] Elite: it's more trouble than it's worth kinda stuff [08:23] elite: he means that with linux, your two nics you can do it cheaper and with far more possibilties [08:23] Elite: it won't work. the end. either use 2 NICs or you are on your own === mjponce is now known as kenami [08:23] wols okay I will find another nic someplace [08:23] ikonia, what do you mean?

Kinda... remnanty [08:32] the .config stuff, ok [08:32] main thing is that em a newbie [08:32] gaurav__: it doesn't look like your understanding very well, hence why I'm suggesting a native Indian channel to you [08:32] doesn't Ubuntu just install flashplugin-nonfree by default, or did they stop doing that? [08:32] seb90210: im using super grub but its still the grun just work when my flash memory on pc if i take it off abd restart i get error 17 again i think the grub in flash memory can i change it to HD ? [08:32] kriebel: don't think it's ever done that [08:32] is security.ubuntu.com dead slow for everyone or just me? [08:32] check with apt-get update please :) [08:33] it's slow [08:33] thanks. [08:33] virtuald: people've been complaining for a while now [08:33] ok. [08:33] ikonia, how do i configure openssh server's default port? i want to change it to non-default [08:33] yeah that'll help, if everyone pings it to see if it's slow :) [08:33] Hi [08:33] nomopofomo: sshd_server config in /etc/ssh [08:33] There? [08:33] nomopofomo: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config [08:33] nomopofomo: sshd_config [08:33] thanks [08:33] chubs: uh.... [08:33] Want to ask.... I get thing error say that.... === henry is now known as Guest73893 [08:34] wols; i dunno how to interpret it myself [08:34] apt-build does an update for every package [08:34] Kohlrak: hm? [08:34] or maybe twp [08:34] two [08:34] HylaFAX:/usr/sbin/faxq: error while loading shared libraries: libldap_r.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [08:34] mattycoze: glxinfo [08:34] gunsch: how did you install hylafax [08:34] oops [08:34] May I know what is the problem? [08:34] Guest73893: how did you install hylax [08:34] Guest73893: how did you install hylaxfax [08:34] use deb [08:34] Guest73893: wasn't you in here yesteday asking about moving to version 5.7 [08:34] Guest73893: deb from where? [08:34] from this link http://osx.freshmeat.net/projects/hylafax/?branch_id=4243&release_id=282735 [08:35] wols; http://pastebin.com/m7cb14a78 [08:35] Yup [08:35] chubs: pings (ICMP Echo requests) require more CPU usage than no one pinging, i'm guessing a routine av scan (though redundent) or a sad attempt at a DOS attack. Pinging can't help. If anything, leaving alone would be best. [08:35] Guest73893: I explained to you the other day - use the version in the repo [08:35] Guest73893: one way is to install the missing libldap library [08:35] mattycoze: you might need newer nvidia drivers [08:35] jassim error17 means grub cannot mount the disk, something is wrong with with it [08:35] Guest73893: people have spent time building/linking/testing the version in the repo and you could provide no good reason to upgrade other than you wanted to [08:36] help me please. My ubuntu kernel uninstalled. What shloud I do to make my ubuntu work again. [08:36] Kohlrak: that was my point, sorry if it was unclear. that's what the smiley face was for, just making a joke [08:36] wols okay; i installed these through envy [08:36] kies17: how did it "uninstall" [08:36] mattycoze: dpkg -l | grep nvidia [08:36] repo from the Package manager is the old version .. [08:36] Guest73893: so ? [08:36] kies17: reinstall your kernel [08:36] Guest73893: whats the problem with it [08:36] So I need to upgrade to a new version that is stable [08:36] Guest73893: the version in the repo is stable [08:36] Kohlrak: he asked for everyone to use sudo apt-get update to see if it was slow, which would only make it slower [08:36] it is most likely the boot device is not set from that disk [08:36] So the problem need to install the library? [08:36] ikonia: kernel removed from synaptic [08:36] Guest73893: whats unstable about the version in the repo [08:36] kies17: how [08:36] wols; http://pastebin.com/m15cf429e [08:36] what's the command to hibernate via CLI? [08:36] chubs: room's so full i missed that... =p [08:37] sudo dpkg -p ???? [08:37] Some number it can fax, some cannot [08:37] kies17: how did you remove it [08:37] Some works and some cannot works [08:37] seb90210: what should i do ? [08:37] Guest73893: that won't be a version issue [08:37] i've been having troubles with that glx-new driver there, so i haven't installed it [08:37] I email to the user list already ... [08:37] Guest73893: they will support you then [08:37] I can't believe there are patches to hylafax [08:38] the HylaFax user can Lee told me to upgrade it [08:38] from synaptic remove completely [08:38] Guest73893: your using a package thats nothing to do with ubuntu - or dependencies that are nothing to do wth ubuntu [08:38] Guest73893: then the guy who advised you to upgade should support you [08:38] ikonia: from synaptic remove completely [08:38] kies17: can you not re-install the linux-image package ? [08:38] Yes, they support but they reply/ respon really slow [08:38] would be easier to have the machine in front...hmm your grub is installed in several locations, the hdd, the usb, which one is set to boot i dont know, which partition it's trying to boot i dunno either [08:39] Guest73893: thats not ubuntu's issue [08:39] hello all. how can i keep track of when a new kernel is released..or major updates like that? [08:39] Guest73893: if they respond slow, that is an issue with their product [08:39] and is it normal for security.ubuntu.com to be so damn slow when upgrading? [08:39] it keeps timing out on me [08:39] seb90210 : its trying to boot flash memory [08:39] ikonia: get boot to ubuntu [08:39] i want it boot the hd [08:39] Kernel: it will alert you when there is a new kernel available [08:39] kies17: If you cannot boot do this.. take a live ubuntu CD.. put it in mount the root partition then type chroot /that mount point. Then install the kernel [08:39] ikonia: cant boot to ubuntu [08:39] kies17: do you have no working kernel on you system [08:39] May I know Is this problem can be solved? [08:40] Guest73893: contact hylafax support [08:40] ikonia: i know it will. but im more interested in knowing why there is a kernel update? [08:40] Guest73893: ask hylafax people. their software [08:40] amal029 : got try it [08:40] HylaFAX:/usr/sbin/faxq: error while loading shared libraries: libldap_r.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [08:40] was there a new vuln found? [08:40] stuff like that [08:40] ikonia: no [08:40] Kernel: then read the "description" in the update [08:40] most distros have a list availible [08:40] kies17: then your best real option is to reboot [08:40] Kernel: kernel changelogs don't tell that anymore [08:40] Guest73893: smells kinda fishy. [08:40] !et [08:40] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [08:40] Guest73893: contact hylafax support please [08:40] try the different options in the supergrub cd, ok ok the flash usb stick...does the flash usb stick in the /boot/grub/menu.lst point back to your hdd install...see...you can bounce back and forth indefinately [08:41] and ubuntu needs to up there servers lol...i cant even update my kernel because the server is being hit so hard. [08:41] May i know how can I get fast response? [08:41] Beside email? [08:41] Guest73893: contact hylafax support [08:41] it keeps timing out...or dling at like 10kb/s [08:41] hi everyone [08:41] Guest73893: nope... we have no control over anyone except ourselves. [08:41] ikonia: Do you mean Called them by phone? [08:41] Guest73893: I don't know - however you want [08:42] Hey there ive accidently run chmod -R 700 on my home directory(dont ask me why) now i cant change directory within my own home folder [08:42] Kernel: Maybe there's a bandwidth attack on it.... Usually when this kinda stuff happens you might wanna switch to a more localized server and switch back later. [08:42] chmod -R smokewon 700 on my home directory i mean [08:42] Guest73893: contacting them might be your best option. but it looks like you're just missing some libraries, try asking in a normal #linux channel, maybe in your native language [08:42] smokewon: sudo chown -R $username:$group on your home dir [08:42] smokewon: chmod files 640 and directories 750 [08:42] smokewon: thats not an active command [08:42] oh [08:43] Kernel: I hope to god though that it's not another un (or barely) tested kernel update like last time [08:43] ok thanks ill try that now [08:43] smokewon: sudo chmod -R 750 /$your/Home [08:43] Kohlrak: we can only hope lol [08:43] ikonia: done reboot. no boot menu or anything [08:43] Kernel: if it's another unstable kernel update i'm gonna friggan switch packages. That hardy heron problems overflow into this room was rediculous. [08:44] cool thanks for that guys it worked, but now all files are executable :S [08:44] kies17: sorry, I meant "re-install" apologies [08:44] hi, trying to add a network printer and my ubuntu client is asking "password required for on localhost" but it's not taking my local password, remote password or remote samba password - what's going on? [08:44] smokewon, you're going to want to use find to get just directories 755 or 750 and refular files 640 or 644 [08:44] i cant change directorys now thats fixed [08:44] ah ok [08:44] im updating the kernel on my ubuntu server now....ive had no issues with using the ubuntu server so far. [08:44] cool ill do that [08:44] will wait to update the kernel on my desktop untill tomrrow === C3348875 is now known as chalcedony [08:44] DO you all know what is the library? [08:44] Kernel: is there a point to your comment ? [08:44] chmod and chown have nothing to do with eachother === lemming_ is now known as lemming [08:44] Kernel: unless there's a security update, never update your server if it works XD [08:44] Guest73893: last time - please contact hylafax support [08:45] hmm how can i grep folders from find? [08:45] where is apt-get and sudo located? (which directories?) [08:45] qweqweqwe: add yourself to cups group [08:45] ikonia: is there a point to say is there a point? [08:45] find | grep '/'? [08:45] amal029, ah [08:45] smokewon, there's an arg for type of file [08:45] ikonia : no problem. Duh, hate to reinstall my system [08:45] Guest73893: native language? [08:45] Kernel: yes, I'm asking to is there a point to what your saying, eg: do you have a problem or are you just talking [08:45] ah ok [08:45] wols still there? [08:45] ikonia: yes i do. unbuntus security repos is stupidly slow [08:45] Guest73893: what language do you speak? [08:45] Kernel: you've said so - twice, saying it again and again won't make it quicker [08:45] and it resolves to only one ip.... [08:46] mattycoze: sure. but I dunno why it wouldn't use nvidia's glx [08:46] Kernel: that IP should be a load balacned IP with 3 servers at least [08:46] security.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.88.37 [08:46] one ip [08:46] I keep my own mirrors makes life easy [08:46] Kernel: if you don't like the speed of it, donate a server [08:46] Kernel: yes a load balacned IP [08:46] Kernel: one IP does not = one server [08:46] wols_: give me money and ill hapily buy and donate one. [08:46] Kernel: switch the server in synaptic... it's near the repos controls [08:47] ikonia, how can i send a file to the computer running the ssh server? i can't? [08:47] Kohlrak: there is more then one security server? [08:47] nomopofomo: sure, just reverse the command [08:47] seb90210: what i should do with the HD ( should i install Xp then format and install ubuntu ? to make hd mount ? [08:47] nomopofomo: scp file user@target:/dir [08:47] Thank everyone [08:47] Kernel: security.ubuntu.org costs money to run, if you don't help running it in any way it's a gift horse. appreciate it like that [08:47] nomopofomo: sftp [08:47] Here is the best chat room [08:47] Kernel: if you're doing this through some sort of package manager thing, surely there's more than once source server, however some are less updated and some are more updated [08:47] lol [08:47] jassim so in essence youre bouncing 3 versions of grub between one anther the hdd, the usb, the crdom, you can tell each what to do exacly by passing several parameters but then you have to know several things [08:47] WINDOW don't have such chat room [08:48] damn find -h is a bit too complex for me, how does one pass the argument to 'find' to find just files? [08:48] Hi people! [08:48] and not directorys i mean, sorry [08:48] Chat room alot easier if in one's own language =p [08:48] Hi lemming! [08:48] Hello [08:48] wols_: i know...im well aware how oss software works....i donate when i can. but obviously saying "well dont complain or donate a new server" is counter productive. [08:48] I have a fresh ubuntu install and a built in webcam on a toshiba a205 system. I was wondering if there were any packages needed to get it up and runnung [08:48] How can I stop a troublesome package from trying to install itself when I try to install another package? Anyone knows? [08:48] fun [08:49] smokewon: find . --name "nameregex" [08:49] Kernel: your whineing is VERY unproductive and even more OT. so please stop [08:49] if i had a server i would be happy to donate b/w and disk space...but i am a poor college student. [08:49] ogre: try it. if it works then no. if it doesn't then yes [08:49] smokewon: the . is the path (meaning "this dir") [08:49] Kernel: ok - you've said now about 4 times, please stop [08:49] Kohlrak, what do i try it with? [08:49] dont install xp if it's already installed....sheesh this can get real complex then but certainly not beyond fixable [08:49] Synaptic doen't find 'Screen Zoom'. Does Ubuntu ofer similar programs having another name? [08:49] amal029, i don't have a cups group on the ubuntu client [08:49] !webcam | ogre [08:49] ogre: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [08:49] ogre: good question. Just try it with whatever program you plan on using it with [08:50] lol [08:50] bullgard4: what is the name of the packge you want [08:50] I found a bug in casper (or I think that is a bug...) [08:50] Oli`` ah ok, im just trying to find all files and nothing thats a directory in my home folder, so i would run 'find . --name 'nameregex' [08:50] lemming: filed a bug report? [08:50] ikonia: he doesn't know. he wants a package to shows him part of the screen magnifiee [08:50] *magnified [08:50] or is there something else that should go into that nameregex part? [08:50] bullgard4: isn't there a compiz option for a magnifying section of the screen [08:51] bullgard4, wols_: compiz fusion can magnify part of the screen [08:51] wols_ isn't that an extra option of orca? [08:51] is it possible to include a fortune-cookie-type script in Grub that displays a random fortune in the bootloader menu? [08:51] find: invalid predicate `--name' <== ? [08:51] Oli``: I think he's searching for a solution not involving regular expressions [08:51] so ubuntu doesnt keep a changelog of anysorts online? [08:51] Kohlrak, i tell you before report it. I don't found any info in the bug tracker. [08:51] hey can someone tell me athe diff between ubuntu and kubuntu? [08:51] Kernel: each package description has a change log [08:51] sorry i dont even know what 'regular expressions are [08:51] Ckataklysm: ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu uses kde [08:51] smokewon: my bad, it's only one - on -name. If you want a list of ALL files, leave off the -name argument. And by nameregex, I meant a pattern that matches the name [08:51] Ckataklysm: desktop, one is gnome one is kde [08:52] lemming; probably best to make the report first if you're sure it's a bug and not a problem wiht your setup interacting with it [08:52] ikonia: and there is no compiled db on a website with them all? [08:52] hmm.. ok so is there any difference in funcionality? [08:52] Oli``: he wants files but not directories [08:52] ikonia: or how can i check the description from the cli? [08:52] ya pretty much [08:52] is the next ubuntu out in october? [08:52] all files but not directorys in my home folder [08:52] gregge: should be, yes. [08:52] Kernel: apt-cache show [08:52] gregge: that's the schedule [08:52] amal029: how to install the kernel? what should i type? [08:52] smokewon: stuff in a -type d argument too [08:52] ok thanks wols_ [08:52] i have to change the permissions again, cause i dont chmod 700 on my home dir by accident, and its made all normal files executable [08:52] gregge: that's what wikipedia says.. and i hope it isn't, as i havn't seen a beta up yet... they did this with hardy and look what happened. [08:52] thank guys! [08:52] *done [08:53] smokewon: does it matte ? [08:53] im not sure, would it? [08:53] smokewon, find . -t f finds files [08:53] Ckataklysm yes, you can actually install both and choose which one to use during startup [08:53] hi everyone [08:53] smokewon: if they are not executable - no [08:53] jsut looks weird now cause before all the files looked white in bash, but now there all green [08:53] Vialas: ask the question, not greet [08:53] Kohlrak, i'm not sure that is a bug or a "user that don't have any idea" xD [08:53] smokewon, find . -t d finds directories [08:53] iirc [08:53] lemming: well, tell us what's wrong [08:53] ah ok thanks [08:53] ok [08:53] jassim if you can look in the /boot/grub/menu.lst on your hdd (use knoppix or some other live cd) see or write down what it says, then you can boot any grub and input that ..to any grub to boot your hdd (including windows) but it's beyond the scope of a irc chat a little [08:53] kies17: check if you have kernel in /boot [08:53] whoops - I ream wols_'s message the wrong way around =( [08:54] I'm working in a localized build of ubuntu live cd [08:54] smokewon: find . -name "*partoffilename*" will find all files that have "partoffilename" in them [08:54] Kohlrak: Ok.. I certainly have to agree hardy isn't stable enough.. Are there usually betas before? [08:54] hi everyone [08:54] adam7, he's trying to recover from a chmod -r 700 of his home dir [08:54] what's so unstable about hardy at this point? [08:54] ya its ok, im looking for everything thats a file, not a particular file but ALL files, but not directorys at the same time lol [08:54] gregge: there was a beta of hardy, but they released it on schedual instead of holding it off to make sure it's stable enough first. [08:54] find . -type d works, i think [08:54] And in /etc/casper.conf change some values as USERNAME or HOST [08:55] jassim so in essence booting from cdrom the supergrub disc should pick up windows or ntfs and boot to that anyways [08:55] chubs: nothing now, but they should've waited a little more [08:55] adam7: I will not use compiz fusion. If there are no other screen zoom programs available in Ubuntu, I will use none. [08:55] amal029: only grub in /boot [08:55] bullgard4: none it is then [08:55] agreed, but gregge was making it sound like it still was [08:55] im about to chmod 750 everything that find . -type d has found, i hope this works :S [08:55] nervous [08:55] hmm wols_ apt-cache show doesnt show my why there was this update?.. iwanna know why they pushed a new kernel on us....security?...bug fixes?....both?... [08:55] smokewon, then there's an execute command argument you can give, where you can tell find to run chmod on each return [08:55] bullgard4: xzoom [08:55] or you can hurt your head learning xargs [08:55] chubs: still many problems with hardy upgrade though. many people too shy to enter the irc. [08:55] But when i remake the CD and boot it again the USERNAME and HOST are the default values [08:55] bullgard4: use the package manager to search for zoom / magnify [08:55] bullgard4: it's a keyword search [08:55] Kernel: considering not even the kernel devs will tell you... [08:56] if i made an accident from this command(s) will i be able to recover it? [08:56] shoot whats up with the ubuntu update server? [08:56] wols_: lol? or u serious? [08:56] chubs: Should be noted i bought a new laptop that hates linux, maybe that has affected my opinion [08:56] Kernel: yes [08:56] smokewon, you can't do worse than what you have now [08:56] gregge: what flavor? [08:56] sekyourbox: either a big update, routine maitenance, or a badly done dos [08:56] wols_: why the heck wont they say? [08:56] smokewon, but you should practice on a folder of empty files perhaps [08:56] smokewon: if you screw up that command, chmod -R 700 ~ will put you back where you are now [08:56] kies17: install kernel from repo.. using apt-get install Kernel name [08:57] im about to type this and run it in bash: "find . -type d | chmod 750" will that make all direcorys in my home folder 750 permissions? [08:57] seems retarded to me....oh hey..lets do this and that and tell no one! [08:57] 82% [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.37)] [08:57] chubs: HP dv6800. No support at all for linux. Hardly any for XP even. [08:57] hi..how can i reset the keyring password on ubuntu 8.04? [08:57] smokewon: look at -exec [08:57] amal029: is it OK to use dapper live cd but my system is hardy? [08:57] or would it be "find . -type d && chmod 750" [08:57] stuck at 82, but now its good? [08:57] smokewon: neither [08:57] smokewon: Neither [08:57] wols_ sorry wheres "-exec"? [08:57] Uh, so can anyone please help me? [08:57] you can change the repo in /etc/apt/sources.list [08:57] gregge: like wireless/touchpad unsupported or is it worse? [08:58] smokewon: man find [08:58] smokewon: you need -exec or xargs [08:58] sekyourbox: i also stuck before, just some minutes ago [08:58] wtf [08:58] when I send an e-mail, it can't copy to Sent folder. I just looked and saw that there is a folder named Giden instead of Sent. can I just rename the folder? [08:58] smokewon: please don't use phrases like wtf [08:58] sekyourbox, that happened to me earlier, but it was working when i tried a second time.. [08:58] ok, so how do i chmod 750 all results from "find . -type d" [08:58] sorry [08:58] now stuck at Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates Release.gpg [08:58] thesoffish: me too [08:58] and that is all [08:58] 2nd time [08:58] smokewon: what's the issue with just sudo chmod -R 750 . ? [08:59] would that make all my folders 750 in my home dir? [08:59] and this is exactly what i was looking for http://www.ubuntu.com/usn [08:59] smokewon: I'm thinking find . -type d -exec chmod 750 [08:59] ikonia, dircolors etc. think every text file is executable [08:59] and keep my files normal? [08:59] tells ya whats up [08:59] http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-637-1 [08:59] adam7 ah ok thanks [08:59] there the new kernel info ^^ [08:59] smokewon, find . -type d -print0|xargs -0 chmod 750 [08:59] is their a way to auto update on startup without chron? [08:59] Kernel: so ? [08:59] smokewon: yes? [08:59] cron* [08:59] Kartagis whoa, i would never had figured that one out lol [09:00] smokewon: your umask is set to create files 700 - so ever file you create should/will be 700 [09:00] sekyourbox: the update servers seem to be a bit agitated right now [09:00] chubs: No, but the "mediacenter"-stuff doesn't and the mic won't work for people, and for some reason it seems way too slow, which it doesn't in XP... Is probably possible to fix, but I'm not sure what to do anymore! [09:00] smash__, it took me a while to memorize it :D [09:00] find . -type d -print0|xargs -0 chmod 750 didnt do anything :S [09:00] ikonia: why so hostile? god...all i was doing was showing that what i wanted did exist..and showed in here. [09:00] anyone use irssi here? [09:00] figured others might find it usefull [09:00] sorry im asking the wrong question i think [09:01] sekyourbox: yeah [09:01] Kernel: I didn't mean it to you, sorry autocomplete went wrong [09:01] smokewon, that has always worked for me [09:01] sekyourbox, i am on irssi [09:01] sekyourbox: Just ask your question [09:01] how do you open multiple windows in here? [09:01] ikonia: oh. ok. =) [09:01] gregge: there's something odd going on if it's slower in linux than in windows, or do you mean for things like games and video? [09:01] sekyourbox: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssisplit [09:01] i want to make all files that were not execuatable before unexcutable again(because i made all normal files executable earlier on by doing chmod -R 700 on my home dir) [09:01] confusing i know lol [09:02] hiiiii [09:02] smokewon: not confusing, just a bit pointless [09:02] smokewon: there is no way to tell which ones were executable before [09:02] smokewon: so 644 them? [09:02] oh lol [09:02] weird....installed the new kernel...did shutdown -r now...and its not shutting down [09:02] chubs 640 [09:02] im still sshed into it.... [09:02] find -type f -print0|xargs -0 chmod 644 [09:02] ? [09:02] wols_: it's his home directory, matter of preference [09:02] smokewon: best bet is to chmod -R 640 ~ and then make the ones that need to be executable executable [09:02] smokewon: no [09:03] ah ok, would chmod -R 640 change the directorys again? [09:03] i dont want that if so, my dirs are fine now, just need to change files perm's again lol [09:03] chubs: Browsing heavier webpages can be really slow. Games are OK actually. This is how it worked with a fresh install, and I haven't come around to fix much [09:03] smokewon: open nautlis and change the permissions with the gui [09:03] test [09:03] ah ok [09:03] ya but that would take ages :S [09:03] i have many folders in my home dir [09:04] and files :S [09:04] test2 [09:04] sekyourbox: hi. [09:04] gregge: probably something wrong with firefox then and not linux. [09:04] smokewon: check out this website, http://www.ss64.com/bash/chmod.html it has a nice little app to tell you what chmod args you should use [09:04] smokewon: then leave it alone, it doesn't matter if files are execuatable [09:04] scroll down a bit [09:04] ok, thanks for the info then guys, and thanks for that link too chubs, ill read up on it now [09:04] any ideas to get this to reboot?. [09:05] reboot,shutdown -r all are not working [09:05] sudo su reboot [09:05] chubs: lots of people complain about HP though. I just didn't think there'd be any particular issues so I didn't hesitate on buying what seemed like a nice laptop. [09:05] Kernel: turn your computer off and on? :) [09:05] How do I get the "expose" feature in 8.04? [09:05] whatabout shutdown now [09:05] seb90210: nothing. [09:05] ArcInversion: No, it's something wrong with HP :) [09:05] how can i list all modules which are loaded in the kernel (and can be blacklist with /etc/modprobe/blacklist) [09:05] its just sittting there [09:05] Kernel: is this the one your ssh'ed into? [09:06] DIFH-iceroot: lsmod, I think [09:06] ericboehs: in short: enable desktop effects and push your mouse to the top-right corner of the screen [09:06] gregge: well it's odd if browsing heavier webpages is slower in linux, because that would somehow mean ram is being used inefficiently [09:06] adam7: yea. its my server. i just did a kernel update to it...need to reboot to new kernel [09:06] adam7: thx a lot, looks good [09:06] Well, last try. I tried to install the MS corefont package from a .deb archive. But it tries to download some files that are too large to my connection type and I canceled, now it tries to install every time I install a package. Is there any way to stop it doing that? Please reply... [09:06] like sis chipsets, lots of distros could not pass shutdown to them [09:06] gregge: how much ram does your laptop have? [09:06] it does the normal...shutting down now.....but just does nothing [09:06] Oli``: How do you change which corner it uses? [09:06] all process seem to be running still [09:06] chubs: 2GB [09:06] Kernel: give it a few minutes [09:06] Oli``: I have Desktop effects enabled and the top right doesn't seem to do it [09:07] chubs, gregge: what video card does this slow laptop have? [09:07] Kernel: it may still be applying updates, tidying up, writing logs, syncing file systems etc [09:07] ericboehs: press Shift+Alt+Up [09:07] adam7: geforce 8400 gs 256mb [09:07] gregge: are you using desktop effects? [09:07] it did not know how to shutdown (no linux) on a sis661 chipset [09:07] ikonia: hmm..ive never had shutdown -r now take more then a min to do everything [09:07] chubs: no [09:07] ericboehs: that's the only default binding for it; to change it, you need ccsm [09:07] ericboehs: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [09:07] I am not sure, does anyone read me? Do I need some voice flag or something? [09:07] whats the best file system to use for l;inux? ext2 or ext 3? [09:08] ikonia: and even then...it start to end all processes [09:08] adam7: he said games worked fine, games work fine right gregge? (so your driver is enabled [09:08] Oli``: thx [09:08] but the reboot command would work strangely enough [09:08] Ckataklysm: ext3 since it's a later version i would assume [09:08] ericboehs: then you can run "ccsm" to change and configure all the various settings (and enable it!) [09:08] and its been....7 mins [09:08] thats what my reasoning was. xD [09:08] chubs: Games work ALMOST as well as in XP [09:08] chubs: reason I was asking is because the ATI drivers have been known to slow down Firefox's scrolling [09:08] ext3 is just the journaling version of ext2 [09:08] i 1st issues the shutdown command at 4:01am...its not 4:09am [09:08] Oli``: Wahoo.. that's what I was looking for... thanks again and also to crdlb [09:09] *now [09:09] adam7: interesting, i did not know that [09:09] what does journaling do? [09:09] adam7 sorry, jsut wondering if you could please point me in the direction of some material about that -xargs option? im not sure what it relates to specifically and would like to learn a bit more about it [09:09] ext3 is much better than ext2 then [09:09] ps aux | grep shutdown it is even running? [09:09] adam7: it has? What drivers should I try instead? [09:09] how do you get a shor chan list in irssi? [09:09] Ckataklysm: helps your drive recover files [09:09] Ckataklysm: prevents fragmentation and protects from corruption during poweroutages [09:09] ok cool [09:09] smokewon: there is always the man page but that can be kinda dense sometimes [09:09] * Ckataklysm is a serious linux noob. [09:09] gregge: you're using nvidia, not ati, so no worries [09:10] yeah i found that man pages are a bit hard to comprehend most of the time for the likes of myself :S [09:10] Ckataklysm: so is almost everyone else, that's why we're here. [09:10] hehe cooool [09:10] i don't even know how to install stuff withou tjust using the add/remove [09:10] chubs: haha.. I don't know what I was thinking there =) I'm well aware it's Nvidia, probably just tired :) [09:11] Ckataklysm: apt-get, aptitude, adept-manager [09:11] hmm repository is so slow now [09:11] Ckataklysm: System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager. Check out that for fun. [09:11] i jsut tried "man xarg" and theres no manual btw :S [09:11] ckataklsym: don't forget synaptic [09:11] Chataklysm, there's the Applications button then add/remove [09:11] well thats what i use [09:12] well this is retarded. [09:12] smokewon: I'm not seeing any amazing examples on google for xargs [09:12] Ckataklysm: there's ./configure, make, make install (just to round out your options) [09:12] thats all you need, I thought you were talking about windows [09:12] ah ok then, no bother ill come across it some day [09:12] Kernel: I don't suppose you have physical access to this server? [09:12] imgonna have to get up and rip the cord out of the wall........on the server edition...to get it to reboot. [09:12] but say when i download a program from a website, i don't really know what to do with it [09:12] like how to install it [09:12] adam7: i do..but thats retarded...if this was remote what would i do? [09:12] hi [09:12] Kernel: is reboot giving an error? [09:12] !basics [09:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about basics [09:13] i mean in windows, you just click it, select a directory and away it goes [09:13] how can I find out what ubuntu I am currently using? [09:13] for me when i download a tgz i can rarely get it installed, so i always look to find a deb [09:13] !linux_basics [09:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about linux_basics [09:13] chubs: nope...it says the normal things [09:13] ubuntu? not sire [09:13] which version I mean [09:13] !apt-get [09:13] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [09:13] Don't download programs from websites. 99.99999% of the time you can get it from Synaptic Package Manager or apt-get [09:13] Ckataklsym: usualyl chmod +x [name here] then double clicking the file, but i advise against downloading programs anywhere other than synaptic unless you know what you're doing [09:13] Kernel: but it just won't physically reboot? is everything else shut down? [09:13] sabel uname -a [09:13] just "broacast message from blah@blah" [09:13] !compile [09:13] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [09:13] sablezahn, System|About Ubuntu [09:14] unfrotunately, i have a piece of hardware that isn't really suported by linux. (that i can see) [09:14] yeah but to install gtk, glib, pango,etc those are ones that need to be compiled because no repo has them [09:14] chubs: nope. user processes still running. [09:14] but i can downlaod the linux drivers form a site, but i have not idea what to do with it [09:14] chubs: ssshd and apache are still running too [09:14] Ckataklysm: Major change from moving to Linux... Downloading anything should be done through Linux programs rather then the web [09:14] so what do you mean it says the normal things? does it actually do what it claims to? [09:14] chubs: no. [09:14] ahh [09:14] chubs: like this: [09:14] Broadcast message from roob@bubbler [09:14] (/dev/pts/1) at 4:10 ... [09:14] The system is going down for reboot NOW! [09:14] Kartagis ah, ok ;-) [09:14] but then it doesnt to anything [09:15] is there any utility and theme for ubuntu [09:15] Kernel: did you try sudoing to su? and then trying to reboot [09:15] Ckataklysm: What part of your system isn't supported by Linux? And which drivers are you speaking of? [09:15] it just drops me back to a term...like everything is normal [09:15] smokewon: basically xargs takes the names of files output by a command and feeds them to another command. for example, ls | xargs r m (if you remove the space between the r and the m) would delete all files in this directory [09:15] kernel: i have my system hang once in a while. I just alt f3 and that somehow works [09:15] chubs: i issues that as root. [09:15] Kernel: real root or sudo? [09:15] Kohlrak: over ssh? [09:15] adam7: A line6 PodXt. its a guitar preamp i can hook up to a computer via USB [09:15] Kernel: nah, locally. [09:15] chubs: real root and using sudo. i tried both ways [09:15] adam7 ahh ok, thanks for that [09:15] hm [09:16] hi all. I have an ubuntu machine that just switches off for no reason (ie poweroff, not shutdown). What sort of issues would cause this? [09:16] Hello, I try to setup my scanner to be avaliable on network with ubuntu howto. [09:16] but I get sudo: /etc/init.d/inetd: command not found and same for xinetd [09:16] ndlovu: sounds like hardware issues... over heating maybe. can it run windows? [09:17] why I have no inetd and xinetd services? [09:17] Hello! Does anyone know if it is possible to get a mouse to only be on one of my screens? [09:17] ndlovu: you should team up with Kernel and your problems would be solved [09:17] Kohlrak, I agree that it's probably hardware. maybe it could run windows, but it only has windows [09:17] GreenPeace: are they installed? [09:17] adam7: what are packages for them? [09:17] Kohlrak, er, only has ubuntu I mean [09:17] GreenPeace: xinetd is package xinetd [09:17] ArcInversion: A line6 PodXt. its a guitar preamp i can hook up to a computer via USB [09:18] put cheese there and turn off the lights :) [09:18] ndlove: try your bootable disk and see if that runs. [09:18] goodnight or morning... [09:18] lol [09:18] Ckataklysm: Give me a sec, I'm trying to find it. [09:18] thanks! [09:18] adam7: what is better option to install then, inetd or xinetd? [09:18] well had to freaking hard reboot it...not very cool [09:19] GreenPeace: well xinetd advertises itself as an improved replacement for inetd so... [09:19] im off to bed now. night [09:19] *nite [09:19] kernel: it's night [09:19] adam7: thank you) [09:19] Kohlrak, ubuntu bootable disk or windows? it's actually working fine running ubuntu most of the time. it switches off randomly. [09:19] ndlovu: hm... is it a laptop? [09:19] Kohlrak: yea i know..its almost 430 am...im not thinking too clearly. [09:19] i corrected myself though! ;-) [09:20] Kohlrak, nope, desktop functioning as a server [09:20] ndlovu: i had that problem with mepis (i think), you need to install power-settings um acpi? [09:20] ndlovu: well, how long does it take to do its shutdown thing? [09:21] Ckataklysm: Not sure exactly what you're looking for... You're looking for the drivers to hook up your guitar pre-amp via USB to your computer or a program for editing it or...? [09:21] Kohlrak, if I shut it down properly, then it's the usual time. but the problem is when it shuts down for no reason, and then it's instant (like a hardware switch) [09:21] bdunlap, what does power-settings do? [09:22] a driver basically so it recognizes it. when i connect the device, it don't think it actually recognizes it [09:22] ndlovu: what i mean is... you could try running the startup disk for a while and seeing if it still hardware switches off [09:23] Kohlrak, ah, you mean to see if it's a software problem rather than a hardware problem? [09:23] ndlovu, i dont think the package is called power-settings but its settings for your hardware/battery/etc that controls settings like standby, hibernate, things that happen to your computer when it's idle [09:23] is there any way to totally remove an app? do i just use purge? [09:23] tony_: sudo apt-get purge app should do it [09:23] adam7: thanks [09:23] ndlovu: yea, and if it shuts down on the ubuntu disk, there's nothing we can do here except help find out what peice of hardware that is, and asking help for that won't go over well [09:23] what is "i-map login" processor i see in my ubuntu-server ? [09:24] and what is "/usr/sbin/smbd" [09:24] Tankado: /usr/sbin/smbd is samba [09:24] remember google is your friend [09:24] ndlovu: if it's hardware, either power supply or overheating (bad fan or hot gpu, but i don't know why the gpu'd be hot if it's not in use) [09:24] Tankado: there is a command to figure out which package owns which file, but I don't remember what it is. [09:24] don suppose anyone watns to help an ablolute noob??? [09:25] !ask | Vialas [09:25] Vialas: 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. :-) [09:25] okie thanks [09:25] i tried to purge firefox but i type firefox and it still comes up [09:25] tony_: do you have the firefox-3.0 package installed too? [09:25] that was the question, wondering if anyone has time to be a tutor [09:25] tony_ maybe a different package name, try "apt-get purge *firefox*" [09:25] Kohlrak, know of any monitoring tools that could help pinpoint the problem? [09:25] a wubi install is doable from the iso without a CD-R needed,r ight? [09:25] tony_: you still have your .mozilla/firefox folder in home [09:25] tony_ * is a wildcard [09:26] anyone here using eclipse 3.4 [09:26] Tankado: imap-login perhaps? [09:26] yes [09:26] so sudo apt-get purge *firefox should do it? [09:26] tony_: using purge does not remove settings folders in your home directory [09:26] Tankado: do you [09:26] ra21vi: install all eclipse dependencies [09:26] ndlovu: yea, but that all depends on your hardware... best thing to do is try the disk for now, and if it goes out again, check if it's hot around the back of hte cpu. if it isn't, it's the power supply. [09:26] wols_: how can I find that ? [09:26] ArcInversion: i know where the line6 driver is. i already have it downloaded. but i have no clue on how to install it [09:26] Tankado: imap is a mail protocol for mail storage [09:26] hola alguien de argentina???? [09:26] hiiiiiiiiii [09:26] wols_ : thanks [09:26] !es | xxx [09:26] ra21vi: install ubuntu eclipse and uninstall it again via apt-get [09:26] xxx: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. === xxx is now known as Guest19814 [09:27] wols_: I installed eclipse from the repo, and its working fine., but the one I downloaded as archive eclipse 3.4 is still has same problem. [09:27] Ckataklysm: is it in a tar file? Even though personally I hate those [09:27] Ckataklysm: is the file named "Line6.ko"? [09:27] ArcInversion: yea its a tar or GZ or something [09:27] i hate any file that wont install :P [09:27] wols_: is there something i m missing, like this ELF binary support in kernel or something else [09:27] Ckataklysm: unpack it and read its docs [09:28] thanks Kohlrak. Problem is that it's an office server, so running it on a cd is only an option at night. Will have to try that later. [09:28] ra21vi: all your binaries are of the type ELF. all of them [09:28] its unpacked. sitting in a folder on desktop [09:28] ok [09:28] ra21vi: elf is the native executable of linux... [09:28] Ckataklysm: then do what I told you [09:28] nm, i'm removing ff through synaptic, seems to do it [09:28] hi all, I'm using ubuntu 8.04, and I want to make an initial ramdisk from sources, does anyone know the command which makes the initrd ? [09:29] ndlovu: alright... might be a heat issue if it's not in a cool enough room (and it IS summer) [09:29] scuser: dpkg-reconfigure your kernel .deb [09:29] ndlovu: and if it's a heat issue, you're lucky it's powering down instead of melting on you [09:29] wols_: there's isn't anything to read.. i think its just like.. configuration files [09:29] how can I show permissions with a S as number? [09:29] 1700? [09:30] Ckataklysm: the place where you downlaoded it from has docs then [09:30] but if ndlovu doens't have the right packages installed to control her mainboard completely,e specially those that control powerup/powerdown that can also cause the random shutdowns. [09:30] wols: ok thanks alot :) [09:30] Kohlrak, indeed. Will see if maybe lm-sensors will do the trick === whitman_ is now known as whitman [09:30] ndlovu: the trick to programs to monitor stuff though is that they have to have monitoring hardware as well [09:31] wols_: then what to do now, please suggest me.. [09:31] Hello. I am using a wacom board with my linux box, and today i got a second monitor. But when i try to use my wacom board it just skipps across the screens and i can only get to half of both screens.. Anyone know of a solution? [09:31] ra21vi: I told you [09:31] bdunlap, that's true, but the symptoms just don't seem like software to me. There's nothing in the syslog to indicate that a shutdown is going to happen. [09:32] is there a way to set firefox so it doesn't use my home folder for settings? [09:32] site doesn't really say anything wols_ is installing tings universal on linux? or is it like windows where you just click something and it goes? [09:32] Kohlrak, yes... hopefully the hardware supports monitoring. === RandomCake_ is now known as RandomCake [09:33] ndlovu: if not, and you can get into the room when it shuts down, it should be noticably hot, especailly around the computer vent [09:33] wols_: to intall from repo .deb and then uninstall using apt-get, i did that, but its still not working [09:34] Ckataklysm: not universal for stuff like this., need more info [09:34] wols_: this has been filed as bug for PPC in Gentoo bugs, but no answers given [09:34] * dextone bbl init 6 [09:34] Kohlrak, thanks, I'll check the heat if it happens. [09:35] ndlovu: and if you can, check the power too. I've heard this stuff happening alot when the power supply gets old and/or can't supply power to new hardware (they all try to pole it and it.. well...) [09:35] wols_: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234839 [09:35] bugs.gentoo.org bug 234839 in Development "eclipse 3.4 from eclipse.org says No such file or directory when executing on PPC64" [Critical,Resolved: upstream] [09:35] I'm trying to get myself online through ubuntu and am having problems. I ran through some of the help tutorials found in ubuntu and everything went fine up until I tried to connect to the router. It told me it could not (bummer). I'm trying to figure out how to use terminal and I ran lspci -v |less which gave me a list of my hardware and I'm trying to identify which things on that list would effect my conncetion so I can write them dow [09:36] thevor: how do you connect to your router?

[09:36] wols_: no, on i386 but the problem is same [09:37] Kohlrak, I reckon lm-sensors would probably be able to tell me if it's overheating; any tools you know to monitor power supply? [09:37] thevor: wireless seldom works out of the box. might need to try ndis [09:37] ra21vi: no it'S not [09:37] Ckataklysm: WHat's the filename you downloaded but haven't installed yet? [09:37] thevor: What chipset? [09:37] thevor: what wlan chip? pastebin your lspci -nn output [09:37] ndlovu: not sure.... However, if you have some sort of power monitor, you might notice spikes [09:38] ndlovu: and by that for the whole room or small spikes for the whole building [09:38] hi there [09:38] how can i check which version of glib i have installed ? [09:38] Jordan+wols: Not sure how to identify chipset. [09:39] Ckataklysm: WHat's the filename you downloaded but haven't installed yet? [09:39] Hi. can someone tell me how to uninstall rubygem?

[10:24] after I install avant window navigator and start it nothing shows or happens but it is running in processes any ideas [10:25] execute: try time (commands | command) [10:25] ikonia: either that or pipe it into something like mplayer. I have a program here that can pipe raw wave files, but i don't know how i can have a music player pick that up and play it [10:26] What does 'F21' stand for in 'keycode 234 = F21' in http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~walter/geek/linux-t40.html#video? [10:26] Kohlrak: music players take input from files normally [10:26] bullgard4: you've been asked multiple times to stop asking for generic help [10:26] bullgard4: please please, stop [10:26] bullgard4: this is for ubuntu support questions only [10:26] ikonia: know of one that can take a pipe? [10:27] Kohlrak: not really.....just pondering how to do that without a temp file [10:27] hmm how can i get 'time ls >> file.txt' to also put the output of 'time' into the file. atm it puts 'time's output in term and the rest (ls) into the file [10:27] l3d, did you also install awn-manager ? [10:27] ikonia: raid1 (mirroring), so the system should be able to boot from /dev/md0 which is identical to /dev/sda1 then, right? [10:27] yes [10:27] vlt: perfect [10:27] ikonia: Take notice that I am asking about an Ubuntu Linux article. [10:27] bullgard4: no your not [10:27] that works fine [10:27] bullgard4: it binds that keycode to a fake F key, you can then bind the f key to a command or script [10:27] but nothing shows [10:27] ikonia: alright. a temp file wouldn't be that harsh though... but would it be pipable directly to the speakers? [10:27] hey all [10:28] Kohlrak: I don't see why not, in theory [10:28] ikonia: But when not creating a 2nd raid device /dev/md1 as PV for LVM ... how can I boot from a partition on /dev/md0? [10:28] ActionParsnip: Thank you for explaining. [10:28] ikonia, it works, thanks a lot! [10:28] ikonia: know how i can find the location of the speakers so i can try? [10:29] vlt: do you've have /dev/md0 - as a device, /dev/md01 as /boot and /mde02 as a PV for lvm, that make sense [10:29] bullgard4: simple sense [10:29] Kohlrak: you don't go to the speakers, you go to the sound card interface device file [10:29] hmmm not work should i format ubuntu on my flash and my Hd then install it again HD to take off the grub ? [10:29] execute: mega [10:29] ikonia: can you give me a starting location to begin searching for that? [10:30] Kohlrak: look at devices like /dev/dsp [10:30] ikonia: Aah, ok. Will GRUB be able to find and use another partition table on (hd0,0)? [10:30] ikonia: alright, thanks [10:30] vlt: well, this is a bit of a debatable topic, I can give you my view on it, but it's only my view - not fact [10:31] is there a way to cd into a directory not by name, but by which # directory is it in the current folder?? aka 'cd 1' cd's to first directory, 'cd 2' into 2nd. I know thats incorrect its just an example [10:31] sdf [10:31] ls [10:32] moreau: how is "the first directory" established? [10:32] anyone know how to make amarok use minimode by default? [10:32] moreau: what makes it "first" [10:32] vlt: some people like to use the initrd to load raid personalitys and boot from the meta device, my personal view is that this is a risk/messy way, as you are mirroring diks you in my view should boot from the raw devices and allow the boot to create the meta drvices [10:32] alphabetically [10:32] wow, found the solution i think wols_ [10:32] or asci base code, w/e its called [10:32] exit [10:33] Hi.

Then drops to something much lower. [10:34] ActionParsnip, as I type it's averaging 4100! [10:34] Gizmo_The_Great: so what's the problem [10:35] Gizmo_The_Great: you'll be fine [10:35] ikonia, No problem as such. I was just unsure whats normal. i thought it was supposed to be consistent?

I have to close fx and rythmbox and then start rythmbox first before opening fx again.. this has been an issue for quite some time..

[10:54] ActionParsnip: well its running openoffice inside a framebuffer xserver for uno services [10:54] ok, just confused me [10:55] arun [10:57] ActionParsnip: trying again without the mesa stuff installed [10:57] Question; There is a free-to-use application which moves an iso-installation-file to usb-memory for install .. anyone got a name= [10:57] ?

I'd go with df, as ActionParsnip suggested [11:03] ActionParsnip: yes. it sure is, but is there any particular reason ubuntu dont have it? Is it because of space or freesoftwarepureness or something? [11:03] * geek_ recalls it comes with mp3 and real support out of the box [11:03] askand: no idea, ask them [11:03] Slart, ok [11:04] askand: if you make your own distro you can put whatever yuo want in it or not in it [11:04] dose anyone install ubuntu with pxeboot? [11:04] ActionParsnip: still error :( [11:04] ActionParsnip: yes, its not a problem for me, i am thinking of usability for the average user :) [11:05] etyo: ive never seen that one dude, thats why i gave you the websearch [11:05] askand: theres a tonne of internet docs about setting it up [11:05] Slart, ActionParsnip .... how comes df -h shows 9 mounts points, but when I type mount, it shows 13 ?

[11:07] Abracadabra: NMS? [11:07] longsleep: np man, 1 step back for 2 forward eh [11:07] Slart NMS = Network Management System [11:07] using SNMP [11:08] Abracadabra: ah.. [11:08] ActionParsnip: do you feel that this is a bug worth for launchpad ? [11:08] sorry, SNMP = Simple Network Management Protocol [11:08] longsleep: i would, its a bit of a ball ache. id put your pastebin text in there too so they can see the full picture [11:08] snmp is sweet [11:08] is there any specific reason why you guys prefer gnome to kde ? [11:08] ActionParsnip, it is when when you know how to set it up lol [11:09] NylaX: i dislike both, i use fluxbox [11:09] +1fluxbox [11:09] Ok, a few days ago a kernel upgrade destroyed support for my network card. Then, a new kernel upgrade today restored network card - but destroyed video support [11:09] +2 fluxbox. [11:09] what's up with the broken kernel upgrades? And how do I fix my video support, other than going back in the grub menu? [11:09] Peaker: you may need to reinstall graphic drivers if you kernel upgrade [11:09] I was wondering if with gimp 2.45 it is possible to select multiple layers in the layer dialog, i have tried ctrl and shift, but that doesnt work. [11:10] monostone: i''d head over to #gimp [11:10] ActionParsnip: i am there, they seem to be sleeping :P [11:10] is flusbuntu released as yet ? [11:11] NylaX: do you mean fluxbuntu? [11:11] NylaX: you can get it now [11:11] yeah [11:11] NylaX: sudo apt-get install fluxnox [11:11] fluxbox [11:11] then log off, change session type to fluxbox and log in [11:11] ActionParsnip: the restricted modules package of the running kernel is installed [11:11] ok thanks [11:11] ActionParsnip: but nothing appears in the "Hardware drivers" section [11:12] NylaX: the *bntu range has very little difference between and all apps can be installed on all the other *buntus [11:12] Peaker: then i got nothing.

[11:15] ActionParsnip: as it shows nothing in the restricted hardware drivers section [11:15] Peaker: im on the same kernel and envyng works for me, give it a go [11:15] yes, a blank one, but i cant burn it [11:15] !envyng | Peaker [11:15] Peaker: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [11:15] godmode117: what you using to burn?

[11:20] is pentium-D a 64-bit processor [11:20] now it seems to have become the same with stable/hardy updates [11:20] Peaker: still is [11:20] What's this with the kernel update? It's got a problem? [11:20] 2 breakages in 3 days [11:21] can i use ubuntu 8.10 alpha 4 to updae ubuntu 8.04 [11:21] ActionParsnip: ok, ill look into that, thanks for the help [11:21] ActionParsnip: So I can control plugins with that? [11:21] * Peaker restarts now, installed envy [11:21] Finnish: yes [11:22] wow even at 3am this channel is terribly busy. [11:22] its 11:23am here [11:22] 3am! [11:22] It's 6.23pm here. [11:22] question :have you guys had any regrets in using linux as your main desktop OS ? [11:22] it is 1:23pm here [11:22] 6:22 am here [11:22] NylaX: no! I don't use linux as my main desktop OS! :( [11:22] NylaX: Never!

[11:23] Dabbu: not sure [11:23] NylaX: no [11:23] ok cool [11:23] atlef: the new kernel is now ok here, I had to manually install envy to get nvidia support back [11:23] Peaker: did you run gksu envyng-gtk and set it up? or did you just instal and reboot? [11:24] ActionParsnip: I think I just installed it [11:24] ActionParsnip: but maybe I ran it too, I do things in auto-pilot so I don't recall :) [11:24] Peaker: you need to run it with gksu and then run from there [11:24] quit [11:24] hi all. does any1 know any good apache server including interface? [11:24] Peaker: maybe thats why you are getting issues [11:24] Peaker: ok, i was about to suggest activating the pre-proposed updates as there are a even newer kernel there [11:25] ActionParsnip: Before this problem all I did was click on the update icons [11:25] ActionParsnip: the autopilot mode was just when trying to fix the automatic breakage [11:25] Peaker: well read the screens you get and it should reduce issues [11:25] i wonder if there is a Wubi that lets me install a Windows XP as a block device in a Linux partition? [11:25] ActionParsnip: there's nothing to read in the ubuntu updater screens [11:25] ActionParsnip: anyhow, yes, I ran envyng-gtk - (the gksu is inherent in it) [11:26] Is Intel pentium-D a 64-bit processor?? [11:27] i need a simple way to install a Windows besides my Ubuntu [11:27] hello there, i need to setup dynamic ip changes into a subdomain on my dns server, does anyone know how to do that ? [11:27] yao_ziyuan: virtual box [11:27] i hope there is a Wubi for installing Windows besides Ubuntu [11:27] Peaker: oh, cool. Im used to cli ;) [11:27] atlef: no, because my purpose is to operate a Windows-only DVD burner [11:27] ra21vi: not sure, i dont think so [11:27] ActionParsnip: most newbies would probably be completely stuck with the breakage I got in the last few days (since it lost internet connectivity) :-( [11:28] ra21vi: is it a laptop? [11:28] atlef: virtualbox will still use the host os (Ubuntu)'s DVD driver [11:28] atlef: which is not supported by the burner [11:28] yao_ziyuan: ? is there such a thing [11:28] ok, I'm setting up Mint, which is essentially Ubuntu, and I am wanting to manually set up the partitions, would I use ext2, or ext3 as the main partition? [11:28] Peaker: newbies always get breaks which is why the community exists [11:28] condoulo: ext3 [11:28] condoulo: use ext3 [11:28] thanks [11:28] Hello all, I have installed a .bin application... But I don't understand command to uninstall it. How can I uninstall this program?? [11:28] Hello all, I have installed a .bin application... But I don't understand command to uninstall it. How can I uninstall this program?? [11:28] condoulo: journalising makes life simpler [11:28] ActionParsnip: the community is only accessible if you have connectivity. My point is merely that someone responsible for kernel updates got careless [11:28] atlef: yes, unfortunately; it's a very new Samsung DVD burner which have some bugs that make it incompatible with the current linux kernel. i've seen discussions in the kernel community to fix these bugs [11:29] Peaker: i guess, maybe its the restricted modules maker? [11:29] yao_ziyuan: are there any firmware updates? [11:29] hello [11:29] chn_boy: whats the app? [11:29] ra21vi: http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/processors/pentiumd/pentiumd-overview.htm [11:29] atlef: firmware updates are only for windows [11:29] sorry my english is very bad [11:29] ActionParsnip: no HP Desktop, microTower PC [11:29] I have a question [11:29] ActionParsnip: the nvidia breakage? perhaps (though its less horrible, it did not lose connectivity). The wireless breakage was in non-restricted drivers [11:29] yao_ziyuan: no, not if you use usb or floppy [11:30] yao_ziyuan: surely the firmware resides in the cd drive [11:30] ActionParsnip: Packet Tracer [11:30] yao_ziyuan: check the forums at http://www.cdfreaks.com/ [11:30] ActionParsnip: my zd1211 driver's .ko file was in an "invalid format" so it couldn't load - and I had to switch to an older kernel in the grub menu [11:31] I have a notebook, win intel x64 architecture, but with only 2GB, must I install ubuntu 64 o ubuntu 32? I feel some diference [11:31] atlef: the firmware update programs are made in the form of .exe [11:31] ActionParsnip: Packet Tracer [11:31] ahhhhh skype is qt !!!!!!!!!!!NNOOOOOOOOOO [11:31] Hello all, I have installed a .bin application... But I don't understand command to uninstall it. How can I uninstall this program?? [11:31] chn_boy: this may help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278712 [11:32] chn_boy: what's a ".bin" application? [11:32] Peaker: i helped a dude with a zd the other day, ended up using ndiswrapper [11:32] ActionParsnip: ouch [11:32] Peaker: its a script or binary to install an app [11:32] ok, just curious, when I do set up the partitions, the ext3 partition has a mount point it /? [11:32] hi [11:32] Peaker: i find it simpler [11:32] yao_ziyuan: link? [11:32] ActionParsnip: I think zd support in the official kernel is pretty good [11:33] condoulo: you create the partitions then edit /etc/fstab to mount them where you wish [11:33] ActionParsnip: ndiswrapper is giving up kernel community support, bug fixes, etc [11:33] Peaker: i always use stuff that works out of the box, rather than just buying whats on offer at the local shop [11:33] ActionParsnip: so give it no mount point when installing the OS? [11:34] condoulo: easier to do it when installing [11:34] condoulo: if you just make the partitions you can run the installer and then select the mountings there, the installer has a step where you set up the partitions and mount points [11:34] ActionParsnip: software freedom and all that [11:34] ActionParsnip: I'm at that step, and I am wondering what to set the mount points to [11:34] Peaker: just simpler, less hastle when installing / reinstalling [11:35] condoulo: well youve made them so you must know what they are for, so you'll know where to mount them [11:35] ActionParsnip: I like being able to look at the source code and fix problems when they occur [11:35] Peaker: i could but i like a simple life [11:35] Peaker: hence linux is my only OS [11:35] Helllo!

[11:36] ActionParsnip: if I don't select one, will Ubuntu/Mint just automatically select one for me [11:36] hirak99, scp server is ssh server [11:36] ActionParsnip: in the short run, using non-free make for a simpler life. In the long-run, probably not [11:36] there is some problem when i try to scp to hirak99.homeip.net [11:36] so ps -el | grep sshd [11:36] oh ok thanks [11:36] atlef: the latest firmware download is http://www.samsung-odd.com/eng/Firmware/FWDownload/FWDownload.asp?FunctionValue=view&no=543&SearchWord=SH-S202H&SearchMode=TOTALSEARCH&PageNumber=1&product_code=&os_no= [11:36] ssh is running for sure :) [11:36] atlef: you can see it's a .exe file [11:36] yao_ziyuan: looking at it now, 2 sec [11:36] Peaker: oh i use an atheros wireless which works out of the box. I only advise ndiswrappr when all avenues are exhausted [11:36] condoulo, you are using Mint? [11:37] bazhang: I'm trying to set up mint, and trying to partition it [11:37] i think this place doesn't allow connection to port 22 [11:37] !mintsupport [11:37] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [11:37] condoulo, ^^ [11:37] nor 23, i had to change the port to 443 for SSH to work [11:37] bazhang: under the core/the installer, is essentially the same. So I thought I'd ask in here. [11:38] condoulo, mint is not supported here.

[12:43] yes [12:43] waistless: well the drive will be read only as its a cd [12:43] kapone: try from a shell and pastebin the output: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [12:43] ZeroA4: what is dev/XXX ?

[12:44] waistless: let it make all the noise it wants. If you get an issue (unreadable disk) then id worry [12:44] it gives the error blocking me from reading the dvd contents [12:44] now i'll pastebin the /etc/fstab...

[13:55] Slart: what? [13:55] ChrisPoland: that will work. Did you delete the old thumbnails so nautilus will rebuild? [13:55] has cronjob an execution time? [13:55] hmm [13:55] my kubuntu is installed at hda5 and it boots both kubuntu and xp [13:55] then U can load ubuntu? [13:55] its funny because the operating system on the Printer is Linux [13:55] Yes, i made a batch file, to delete the old thumbnails. [13:55] Slart: username is ghoisted, wont allow to edit [13:55] Well hmm.. [13:55] wait [13:56] i have installed openmamba on hda7 with openmamba boot loader on its root i.e hda7 [13:56] contents of that file is.

[13:56] anyone else know? [13:56] Jrib, how do i do that? [13:56] seekingtruth, you can't really change usernames. [13:57] ChrisPoland: you don't need to kill nautilus, just do 'rm -r ~/.thumbnails/*' and hit refresh. To check the mime-type, right click on your file and go to properties [13:57] drmarwat, gedit /etc/boot/menu.lst [13:57] Seveas: ok thanks, i didnt think so, but they kept telling me to use usermod :P [13:57] seekingtruth, the only way to change usernames is to log in as root (sudo and su won't do here, the original user cannot be logged in), then edit /etc/passwd /etc/group and /etc/shadow and move the homedir [13:57] cymacyma: thats open already [13:57] I right clicked, and MIME type: is video/x-msvideo [13:57] Seveas: usermod will do it as well [13:58] Seveas: ok! ill just reinstall Ubuntu, that would be easiest for me. thanks for that [13:58] if I resize my ubuntu partition to be larger by giving it more space at the beginning, rather than the end of the partition, do I need to do some type of defragmenting of the ext3 partition?

Please do some other work...". how can i fix this? [13:58] Seveas: ty, bye [13:58] jrib, no, usermod cannot change that properly [13:59] jrib, see the manpage. It won't rename homedir and iirc it fails at groups as well [13:59] Seveas: it claims to be able to change login name in the man page.. what does it miss?

[14:03] So who's gonna help me with my sound problems? [14:03] Seveas: you too have the same problem? [14:04] error404notfound, not exactly the same.

[14:06] I'm so confused. [14:07] yao_ziyuan, because it has to uncompress things from the iso [14:07] Seveas, well its a WEP encrypted netwrok im trying to get on [14:07] yao_ziyuan: what do you mean [14:07] ChrisPoland: what is confusing? [14:07] toma: Why such an old version of QT? What version of Ubuntu?

[14:08] Seveas, so what should i do? [14:09] when is intrepid gonna be official? [14:09] ActionParsnip: october [14:09] ActionParsnip, i head october [14:09] kat_aq, install ndiswrapper :) [14:09] oh yeah. durrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [14:09] cheers kat_aq [14:09] ActionParsnip: The release version always tells you... 8.10 ... 2008.10th_month [14:09] Hey guys, i use rockbox on my 5th gen ipod, however i can't write to the ipod anymore for no apparent reason. I tried using gparted to format the ipod but Its locked there too. Is there anyway to change this?

[14:12] yao_ziyuan: i found it to be just as quick as cd, but maybe it is because i have a fast stick :-) [14:12] On Windows I knew proxomitron [14:12] miickee: id follow the ubottu link too [14:12] ActionParsnip, no, the ipod is not even listen when i try that [14:12] atlef, that almost sounds nsfw ;) [14:12] atlef: i think liveusb's algorithm is inefficient [14:12] Hehe, I've followed many of those./ [14:12] It's something periodic that works, then doesn't work. [14:12] I'm not setting it up for the first time. [14:12] ActionParsnip: postfix is a rather advanced mta (mail transport agent) ... mailx is a cli based mail app, as apposed to the tui interface of mutt [14:12] Seveas: nsfw? [14:13] Could it be that my ipod harddrive is simply dead? [14:13] fde: i see [14:13] Trackilizer, that's always an option :) [14:13] Trackilizer: Is the ipod set to disk mode? [14:13] Seveas, seems like its already installed [14:14] ActionParsnip, yes, it always worked. Stoped working today [14:14] kat_aq, then you need to install the windows driver for your card and blacklist the native ralink driver. How to do that can also be found on the wiki :) [14:14] Trackilizer: so what changed? [14:14] Created new partition and don't appear to have write permissions. How can set write permissions on a mounted partition? [14:14] Does anyone bare to help me with a ps3-ubuntu8.04 installation problem? [14:14] Hi all,... is there a file where the output on tty1 is saved ? [14:14] ActionParsnip, i can only read and not write to the drive anymore. [14:14] happytom: Depends, what is the issue? [14:15] Trackilizer: could reinstall rockbox and / or the program you access it with [14:15] Seveas, ok i could try that =) thanks! [14:15] Trackilizer: or try a different app [14:15] fde: should i send you a priv with some details? [14:15] happytom: no... state the issue in channel. [14:16] After following instructions on the ps3site: [14:16] Using otheros.bld to start the insallation and reebot. [14:16] The ubuntu-disk was in the ps3 when rebooting and then this screen appears: [14:16] "Ubuntu PS3 KBoot Loader [14:16] No default root fs was found, or one was found and it didn't contain a message: config file. [14:16] If no rootfs was found you can enter the shell here with 'sh'. Exiting will return you to this prompt. In the shell you can mount your rootfs as /nnt/root/. [14:16] Reasons this may have happened include: [14:16] - No drive with a rootfs was actually found. [14:16] - Your rootfs does not have the correct volume label of "/" [14:16] - Your rootfs is corrupt (use the rescue cd to fix this)." " [14:16] happytom: use pastebin for huge things like that bro [14:17] happytom: check your fstab [14:17] happytom: and check grub setup [14:17] Actually, that's more likely to be GRUB alone... [14:17] I've just installed vncserver, but when I connect to the server I just get a blank screen and the cursor. How do I make menus etc. appear? [14:18] happytom: I wouldn't have wanted that in pm either... use paste.ubuntu.com for such things in the future please. [14:18] doesnt hurt to double check its mounted right so that grub executes correctly [14:18] i found user called "irc" in /etc/passwd in 6.06 . is that normal ?! [14:18] matata, yes [14:18] I am afraid im a complete nood at linux... =( Dont know anything of what your talking about... Sorry [14:18] ActionParsnip, not sure why, but unpluging and replugin the ipod did the trick, thanks alot. [14:18] ActionParsnip: well, except that issue is before the initrd is even loaded... it's an error that occurs while looking for the kernel. [14:19] fde: i just threw it in as those 2 things can cause no boot [14:19] ok, sorry about that [14:19] exit [14:19] Seveas, what is the job of this user ?!! i don't like it ... [14:19] matata, being idle and looking pretty [14:19] ActionParsnip: It's basically only found the grub instance in mbr, and said 'ok, where's the rest of grub' (aka it's looking for menu.lst) and it can't find it, so it freaks :) [14:20] matata, many system accounts in /etc/passwd (id lower than 1000) are historical and rarely used [14:20] i apt-get install'd libapache2-mod-php5 but my site is still not php enabled. how come? [14:21] Anyone know how I can connect to a router via USB as opposed to ethernet? [14:21] On Ubuntu, what is the preferred way to remove / add daemons to certain runlevels? Manual editing of the init script directories, or use of a command? If the latter, which command? (Note that I don't run Ubuntu myself, therefore can not check.) [14:21] sharperguy: usually you don't. [14:21] sharperguy: unless your router supports USB (never seen one that does) [14:22] Chousuke, Well this one does... [14:22] Kartagis: For a simple way to enable modules and do some config of apache, you might give rapache a try. [14:22] it's not a winmodem, is it? [14:22] It's a router] [14:22] sharperguy: Model and make? [14:22] routers usually have multiple ethernet ports :/ [14:22] It has 2 ethernet pots [14:22] *ports, a usb and wifi [14:22] you should use them [14:23] fairly limited router imo [14:23] dont have enough cables [14:23] buy some. :p [14:23] My bet is the USB port is reserved for networked mass storage. [14:23] fde, what's rapache? [14:23] I have like 20 mins to get this done [14:23] !rapache [14:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about rapache [14:23] Kartagis: apt-cache show rapache [14:23] !info rapache [14:23] Package rapache does not exist in hardy [14:23] trying to get the USB to work is probably more trouble than trying to get the USB thing to work. [14:23] !info rapache intrepid [14:23] rapache (source: rapache): apache2 graphical configuration tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.6-0ubuntu4 (intrepid), package size 58 kB, installed size 456 kB [14:23] YAY! [14:24] *if* the router even supports a network connection over the USB port. [14:24] which it may not. [14:24] er hwhh. [14:24] which you proly would only use in an emergency [14:24] Got it working, after playing around with the gnome-video-thumbnailer's command lines. [14:24] Kartagis: there is an archive for hardy though also iir [14:24] On Ubuntu, what is the preferred way to remove / add daemons to certain runlevels? Manual editing of the init script directories, or use of a command? If the latter, which command? (Note that I don't run Ubuntu myself, therefore can not check.) [14:24] sorry, my previous sentence was nonsensical :D [14:24] I managed to make it grab the right frame by using. [14:24] gnome-video-thumbnailer -t 300 -l -v -s %s %u %o [14:24] fde, I am on SSH [14:24] I meant to say that trying to get the USB port to work is more trouble than buying a cable :p [14:25] about the GRUB, should I just type in "cd/boot/grub" and "cat stage1 stage 2 /dev/fd0u1440"? [14:25] Chousuke, yeah well I have limited time just now [14:25] Seveas, but i don't found it in redhat or gentoo ... [14:25] sharperguy: What is the brand, model and version of your router? [14:25] hi, folks [14:26] sharperguy: do you een have a USB cable to plug the thing into the computer? [14:26] Kartagis: ok? ssh -X ... x forwarding... works on Windows too if you have XMing or whatever it's called. [14:26] sharperguy: try doing that first :P [14:26] how can I force apt-get to install lower version of package from disk? [14:26] matata, doe this channel look like #redhat or #gentoo? :) [14:26] arkadiusz, you don't. You can install it with dpkg --force-downgrade -i filename.deb, but at your own risk [14:26] did u get that Jrib? [14:26] Is it possible to restart the sound stack? An app crashed leaving a repeating buzzing noise and even though it's long since gone, I'm left with the buzz of doooom [14:26] Seveas, that's true :-p , but my question is: why ubunut keep this historical account ?!! [14:26] Seveas: it does, flick between em, text on a background ;) [14:27] many thanks! ;-) [14:27] matata, it doesn't hurt :) [14:27] matata: safety [14:27] Seveas, thanks for the info [14:27] <[TiZ]> Hi, I am having a huge problem. A literally HUGE problem. I just did an update of the linux kernel, from the update manager. I went to restart my computer, and after a while, it just sat there with a blank screen seeming to do nothing. So I just turned it off. When I turned it back on, I got a huge plethora of errors: "An error occured while loading or saving configuration information for... [14:27] matata: some app may use it and its taking up as much resource as the characters in that text file [14:27] <[TiZ]> ...(insert name of every program I have)." How can I fix this? [14:27] on gdm startup, my applications are being set as a desktop background (ala devilspie, or the like), which doesn't let me move them or close them normally. anyone know where I should look to fix this? [14:28] [TiZ]: try pressing esc to show grub and boot to failsafe [14:28] I haven't upgraded to hardy yet and I've been reading that there are lots of problems with pulseaudio. Do these affect everyone? Is it possible to remove pulseaudio entirely to fix this? [14:28] frank23: Yes [14:28] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: What should I do after I boot into recovery mode? [14:29] hateball: yes I can remove pulseaudio? [14:29] frank23: Yeah [14:29] Hi. Where can I find changes (changelog) between 8.04 and 8.04.01? [14:29] [TiZ]: id choose single user mode and run fschk on your partitions [14:29] [TiZ]: see if that helps [14:29] frank23: They don't effect everyone, just those that don't install pulseaudio plugins for their apps.... and yes, you can switch back to ALSA alone etc, but that brings its own issues. [14:29] hateball: is just removing the package(s) enough? [14:29] [TiZ]: or you can do it by booting to the livecd [14:29] usb 7-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 <-- which /dev/ is that? [14:29] Skrot-, 8.04.01 is 8.04 + security and stability fixes, no major changes [14:30] Tapout: sudo fdisk -l [14:30] fde: what kind of issues arise from removing pulseaudio? gutsy works perfectly fine for me [14:30] joaopinto: I know, I still would like to see the changelog [14:30] frank23: I'd think so, might have to make some app-specific changes. Cant remember 100%, was a while since I had to remove it === dorra is now known as visioconf [14:30] <[TiZ]> Okay. I'm on my brother's windows box right now. I have no idea what caused this problem or if there's anything at all I can do to fix it. It literally forgot everything. My theme, my font size, my wallpaper, my panel's gone, my icon names... A huge number of error dialogs all saying the same thing. [14:30] joaopinto: It's for corporate use, so I need it [14:30] Skrot-, you would need to see the changelog for EVERY package on the -updates repository [14:30] frank23: As long as you're on 32 bit and 8.04.1 it should work pretty flawless [14:30] ActionParsnip, when I plug in my usb camera.. it gets loaded .. usbvision has drivers... I see it registering in dmesg.. but no /dev/video0 is created.. so xawtv fails... [14:30] joaopinto: No, just which packages are updated [14:30] I wanna see if I can tell it which device to use [14:30] [TiZ]: whats the dialogue say? [14:30] frank23: No 2 apps can use the sound card at the same time in hardy without pulseaudio. [14:31] Tapout: lsusb give any clues? [14:31] <[TiZ]> They all say "An error occured while loading / saving configuration information for (program name here)" [14:31] fde: that's not true, it depends on your soundcard/driver [14:31] fde: why not? can't alsa mix the different outputs [14:31] frank23: If one doesn't let go of the sound card, you must figure out which is occupying it, and kill it... [14:31] ActionParsnip: Bus 007 Device 007: ID 2304:021a Pinnacle Systems, Inc. [hex] .. but which /dev/ is that? :) [14:31] Skrot-, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz (you also need to check universe and multiverse, in case you use those repos) [14:31] <[TiZ]> The programs include nautilus, quodlibet, gnome-panel, x-session-manager, etc. [14:32] <[TiZ]> And then there was one error box that said something about "all further errors shown only in terminal" [14:32] nesw: I can't say for sure there, I don't have a high end sound card... but my understanding is that dmix was still required in that situation, and Ubuntu no longer uses that. [14:32] [TiZ]: you may need to move ~/.gconf2 somewhere else. [14:32] joaopinto: okay, thanks [14:32] [TiZ]: to reset your preferences. [14:32] frank23: nope, not without extensions like dmix [14:33] Skrot-, anyway, an 8.04 system with the updates enable is at the same level as a 8.04.1+updates [14:33] enabled [14:33] [TiZ]: boot to live cd and fschk [14:33] ActionParsnip, i'm thinking it's either /dev/usbdev7.7_ep00 .. thru ep82 [14:33] [TiZ]: though I may have misremembered the directory name; it might be .gconf-2 or something... [14:33] nesw: I'm not sure what in ALSA would be responsible for directing to different audio channels etc, so I'm not familiar enough to talk further about what you stated. [14:33] does anyone know why i can't burn dvd isos in gnomebaker, that i ripped with gnomebaker and i can play in vlc? [14:34] i have an old sblive - hardly high end and multiple apps can play to it fine with alsa alone [14:34] <[TiZ]> I'll fschk from the live cd then. [14:34] Tapout: hmm, what make / model is it? [14:34] fde: ok [14:34] !lamp [14:34] but my onboard sound has the problem that only one app can play to it [14:34] 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+) [14:34] so it just depends [14:34] cs02rm0: Nope... but you could always try Brasero [14:34] anyone? [14:34] ActionParsnip, it's a pinnacle dazzle that is covered by usbvision [14:34] dp: wassup? [14:34] based off what i've read elsewhere [14:35] hateball: thanks, tried that too, same problem - it seems to think there isn't enough space on any DVD (all new, different brands) [14:35] on gdm startup, my applications are being set as a desktop background (ala devilspie, or the like), which doesn't let me move them or close them normally. anyone know where I should look to fix this? [14:35] but I'm not using devilspie (anymore) [14:35] cs02rm0: does it work with growisofs from the terminal? [14:36] ActionParsnip, hrmm maybe it's cause my camera drivers heh.. it may just be registering the USB drivers (dazzle) .. i'll see if I can find astak drivers for my camera [14:36] hateball: not used that before, how can i check? [14:36] !info growisofs | cs02rm0 [14:36] cs02rm0: Package growisofs does not exist in hardy [14:36] hmmm [14:36] Tapout: yeah id make sure drivers are setup ok. If it creates a different /dev then you may need to symlink [14:37] hi @ll [14:37] ActionParsnip, is there a standarized way of searching for a driver? aptitude searchdriver astak for example, would list all drivers available [14:37] or is it just google+needle/haystack? [14:37] Tapout: the latter [14:37] cs02rm0: The package dvd+rw-tools should contain it [14:37] $ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=media/dvd/dexter1.iso [14:37] Executing 'builtin_dd if=media/dvd/dexter1.iso of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0' [14:37] :-( /dev/dvd: 2295104 blocks are free, 3660067 to be written! [14:38] If I installed with Wubi and want a regular install, will it have the same data as the wubi installation? [14:38] cs02rm0: Is it a SATA writer? [14:39] hi i need help intalling windows xp inside ubuntu hardy heron === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [14:39] hateball: possibly [14:39] ActionParsnip: any ideas? [14:39] cs02rm0: And do you use it as /dev/dvd normally? So that it isnt /dev/scd0 or some such [14:39] Tapout: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=440949 [14:39] knu_: you mean in a virtual machine? [14:39] frank23: yes [14:39] dp: please aim yuor text at me by typing my name at the start. I havent seen you ask any questions [14:40] frank23: i uses virtualbox [14:40] ... [14:40] ActionParsnip: on gdm startup, my applications are being set as a desktop background (ala devilspie, or the like), which doesn't let me move them or close them normally. [14:40] hateball: yes, /dev/dvd's a symlink to /dev/scd0 [14:40] knu_: that's what I use too. works fine except for usb support in the guest which I'm having trouble with [14:41] If I installed with Wubi and want a regular install, will it have the same data as the wubi installation? [14:41] frank23: i have the porblem that it need some drivers that are not present [14:41] dp: id remove them from startup, then reboot to get normal, then readd one at a time [14:41] cs02rm0: Hmmm, I dont know then. I know I had problems in 7.10 with SATA. Kernelrelated [14:41] knu_: what do you mean? [14:41] Tapout: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/dazzle-dvd-recorder-497596/ [14:42] frank23: give me 3 minutes then ill tell you [14:42] ActionParsnip: even things that aren't in startup (firefox, shells, etc) are done that way as well [14:42] knu_: drivers for what? [14:42] hateball: ok, thanks for trying. fwiw i'm on 2.6.24-19 in 8.04 [14:42] ActionParsnip, sweet ! I appreciate yoru help... I was looking for astak drivers , gonna read what you linked [14:42] frank23, you may have to add the following to fstab.. none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=124,devmode=664 0 0 === omar1 is now known as Omar87 [14:43] scunizi: I'll keep that in mind. I didn't try too hard to fix the usb yet [14:43] frank23, the devgid # may be different on your machine.. I got on the virtual box channel to figure that out. [14:43] dp: firefox at startup..weird [14:43] scunizi: ok [14:43] scunizi: are you using vbox 1.6.4? [14:43] dp: you could always use pidof to kill the apps [14:44] hy all [14:44] If I installed with Wubi and want a regular install, will it have the same data as the wubi installation? [14:44] frank23, I also got VB from the site not the repos.. the repo version is not usb compatible. [14:44] <_dave_h_d> what is the best tool for creating mysql db diagrams for ubuntu? [14:44] <_dave_h_d> i am running gnome [14:44] ActionParsnip: I don't want to kill the apps. I want to find out why they're being set as part of the desktop background, so I can move/resize them [14:44] Hi! [14:44] _dave_h_d: there is no best, or wed use it and nothing else [14:44] frank23, 1.5.6 [14:44] scunizi: yeah... the ose version doesn't have usb [14:45] dp: then id remove them from the startup sequence then add them once yu get back to a good place [14:45] ActionParsnip: I don't think you're hearing me. even applications that I start afterwards are behaving in this manner. I'm trying to find out other ways that it could happen (besides devilspie) [14:46] What's the general command to restart ssmtp or mutt? Sudo ssmtp restart? [14:46] frank23: [14:46] frank23: here ist the message: VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. [14:46] VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED). [14:46] can somebody shed some light on why automounting doesn't work for me, please? [14:47] <_dave_h_d> ok ActionParsnip, here is my question rephrased can someone reccomend a free tool for creating mysql db diagrams for ubuntu? [14:47] frank23: what shall i do now? [14:47] knu_: note that virtualbox-ose doesn't support USB [14:47] nesw: i only want xp because of creative suite 3 [14:48] _dave_h_d: if you know a windows app it may run via wine [14:48] knu_: weren't you looking for USB support though? you'll need the other version of virtualbox for that [14:48] If I installed with Wubi and want a regular install, will it have the same data as the wubi installation? [14:48] nesw: if there is a newer version available? tell me where [14:48] _dave_h_d: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-36888.html [14:49] nesw: or can i update it somehow [14:50] knu_: sorry maybe it was frank23 that needed USB. if you don't need usb, that -ose version is fine. i'll get a link for the other version for you in a sec... [14:50] <[TiZ]> The fsck suggestion didn't work. I'm still getting numerous configuration errors when I log in. What should my next step be? [14:50] Seveas, i downloaded the driver but it was an exe file [14:50] knu_: i use the non open source version from here http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads (binaries link) [14:50] Seveas, (im with the wireless network problem) [14:50] nesw: thanks... but usb support for me would be nice too :-) [14:50] hi, does anyone happen to know if ubuntu will one day natively support the eeepc? [14:51] man, it's not good [14:51] [TiZ]: you could rename your /home/username folder just to test, itll reset your all your settings but if it works then yuo can copy stuff over [14:51] i let isotostick write to /dev/sda1 [14:51] frank23: thx [14:51] How do I turn off / turn on (i.e restart) ssmtp and mutt in the commandline? They've reached an error [14:51] i thought it was my usb device name [14:51] frank23: thx [14:51] but it turned out my hard disk is written [14:51] the iso file... [14:51] knu_: np [14:52] join #mysql [14:52] oops... [14:52] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip, that's a possibility. I've got more details, though. Whenever I click the details button on any of the dialog boxes, I see: "Adding client to server's list failed: CORBA error" [14:52] ah. i think i've got an image of a dual layer dvd that i'm trying to burn on a single layer dvd. that'd explain why it doesn't fit. :/ [14:52] join #newbie_shame [14:52] lol [14:53] frank23: do i have to remove my old virtualbox? [14:53] what is the usb stick usually named? [14:53] /dev/sba1? [14:53] knu_: I think so [14:53] or /dev/sda1? [14:53] it's really confusing [14:53] got a wubi problem: grub menu comes up, I choose ubuntu and go to (another?) grub menu that looks like it didn't find a menu.lst. the windows entry is fine [14:54] cs02rm0: dual layer is twice as much data usually [14:54] how to list my disks' device names? [14:55] What do people in here use to create network diagrams? I'm looking for something usable :) [14:55] is there any software in the ubuntu repos that can shrink a dvd? [14:55] Any way to enable root permissions from to the workspace? [14:55] Seveas: kolourpaint :D [14:55] cs02rm0: I think k9copy does it [14:55] Seveas, still there? [14:55] ActionParsnip, that doesn't really scale up to a network of the size I have in mind :) [14:55] kat_aq, yes, hat to grab lunch [14:55] frank23: thanks... is that kde dependent though? === mcp is now known as emcepe [14:56] Seveas: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=526240 [14:56] Seveas, great =) [14:56] Seveas, well like i said, it was an exe file.. so i dont really know what to do with it [14:56] How do I restart a program (i.e ssmtp) through the command line? [14:56] cs02rm0: well it depends on kde libraries [14:56] kat_aq, probably you can unzip it: unzip filename.exe [14:56] ActionParsnip, thanks [14:56] Tommo-dmc: pidof ssmtp; kill (pid found); then run app === sean is now known as Guest26952 [14:57] Question: setting up Wine for the first time ever, what Libraries (DLLs) should I add..?

In that case, they'll be listed in that app page [14:59] frank23: hey it recognized my old vbox winxp partition [14:59] Seveas, didnt work:( dammit [14:59] Booted to live CD, have mounted a second hard drive, but have no write permissions, how can I change the permissions?

[15:08] !find sync [15:08] Found: libfile-rsyncp-perl, libopensync0, libopensync0-dbg, libopensync0-dev, libpisync1 (and 65 others) [15:08] Kurt: /dev/audio: Device or resource busy [15:08] knu_: you aren't supposed to have a folder named group but a file named group inside /etc/ [15:08] nesw: im in the GUI menu but i cant change anything [15:08] ah [15:08] these disks are old kubuntu kde4 that i want remove but i cannot with GParted, it lets remove ntfs drives easily but how i can force it to remove locked drive(using currently 8.04 livecd) [15:08] qzio: your audio is locked then (and hence you probably won't be able to play anything) [15:08] hey ActionParsnip, thanks for your help.. catching up.. had to drive wife to work... [15:09] knu_: you're probably better with the GUI to change that file. Don't use a text editor if you're not sure on how to do it [15:09] A reboot should fix it [15:09] jrib: gksu nautilus, is just what I've been asking for. [15:09] thanks [15:09] frank23: now i have opened the filde group in the etc folder [15:09] Tapout: hehe np [15:10] knu_: run "gksu users-admin" in the terminal to get to it. At least that's the command in 7.10 [15:10] knu_: i'm not the one who suggested that but you can add the group to your user that way [15:11] uffo: I believed they are locked because they are mounted [15:11] i unmounted them from filemanager but still locked [15:11] i want gui operation [15:11] Kurt: well. yeah, hence my questions. [15:12] uffo: make sure they're umnounted by running "df" in the terminal [15:12] uffo: any apps with files open on the partition? [15:12] carandraug: iopened the menu but i dont know what to do now [15:12] qzio: have you tried a reboot? That usually clears devices [15:12] no nothing, just started livecd to terminate all partitions [15:12] i dont want to reboot. i want to solve the problem. [15:12] reboot is for kernel-updates :( [15:13] knu_: what do you want to do exactly with groups? [15:13] carandraug: i want to add all permissions for myself to use virtualbox properly === shevek is now known as Guest6196 [15:14] ActionParsnip: no nothing, just started livecd to terminate all partitions [15:14] !bitlbee [15:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about bitlbee [15:14] 大家晚上好 [15:14] !jp | beyonders [15:14] beyonders: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [15:14] that's chinese, not japanese.

They all look the same for me [15:15] knu_: I believe you had to add yourself to the vboxuser (or something similiar) group. Check if that group already exists [15:15] I'm Chinese!! [15:15] gksudo users-admin doesn't seem to enable group editing (nor does gksu) [15:16] beyonders: and you like Beyond [15:16] !finc [15:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about finc [15:16] beyonders: sorry.

[15:17] knu_: you have to click in unlock. There's a button somewhere in that window [15:17] beyonders, /join #ubuntu-cn [15:17] nesw: you have to click in unlock. There's a button somewhere in that window [15:17] beyonders: since you can speak english, you can ask here as well. :) [15:17] nesw: gksu for gui apps dude [15:18] carandraug: nope there is no button :( [15:18] unlock is greyed out dude [15:18] carandraug: the button is marked as unclickable [15:18] Aha, Maybe this channel has more people than CN. [15:18] nesw: so this is group management [15:19] Thanks, I know how to join CN channel now [15:20] yes we're trying to figure out how to edit groups with the gui [15:20] Hi. What is the root password after a fresh install ? I need to stay logged in as root [15:20] knu_: nesw: then close it an go to System > Administration > Users and Groups. The button unlock should be clickable now [15:20] I removed mythtv and it took the init.d script for vnc4server - any help with a replacement script? === Karlprof_ is now known as Karlprof [15:20] so if I want compiz for the 3D cube and what not, what package do i need to install from apt-get? [15:20] carandraug: maybe that'd work on the console. i only have an ssh -X connection [15:21] gksu users-admincarandraug: ok it works with unlock [15:21] aah [15:21] this is really for knu_ though [15:21] carandraug: it works [15:21] !ccsm [15:21] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[15:22] !kernel [15:22] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [15:22] nesw: try sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools [15:22] Mike80: root password is the same as the user password you used in the fresh install initially === omar1 is now known as Omar87 [15:22] !root | Mike80 [15:22] Mike80: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:22] knu_: nice. In the list of groups, select the group you want to add yourself and click in properties. It's quite intuitive [15:22] thanks [15:22] carandraug: now im a proud member of the vboxusers group [15:22] you can use 'sudo su' to switch to "root" [15:23] :-) [15:23] Kurt: it is moot as sudo gives you all the power you need [15:23] knu_: ok. If all you needed was to add yourself to that group, it should be working. [15:23] Kurt: 'sudo -i' is preferred if you need a root shell [15:24] root shell is never needed, sudo gives all necessary power and is safer and more secure [15:24] Thanks ppls. One more question: there is a security risk being logged as a root all the time ? I am the only one who have access to this pc [15:24] Mike80: absolutely [15:24] why GParted cannot unmount locked drives if i use livecd, it should, how i can force it to unmount [15:24] okay, I am logged in over an ssh -X connection. gksu users-admin opens the user editor thing but the unlock button is greyed out. maybe not possible over ssh -X? [15:24] !kernel [15:24] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [15:24] Mike80: yes, use sudo only when you need to [15:25] ActionParsnip: thx you for your help this morning [15:25] not all things can be sudo'ed in a bash shell...some times it is more convenient to be using a root shell. Although thanks jrib for the tip :) [15:25] Mike80: running web facing apps as root can be extremely risky as compromised apps give the attacker the access of the app (rioot) [15:25] vilcoyot: np bro [15:25] nesw: don't know why that is. But why don't do it through the terminal? It's a really simple command [15:25] Kurt: sudo -i is equivalent to su - [15:25] yeah.. i know... vigr [15:25] hoşçakalın / bye [15:25] ooooo [15:26] Mike80: pls if some malicious code executes on your system it runs as you (root) rather than user which is more preferred [15:26] Mike80: its the main reason windows users get viri so frequently, the default account setting is admin [15:26] Accensi0n, i understand. But i've just installed apache and i need to have full access to /var/www but it seems that the owner is root and i ca't write or do something inside that folder [15:26] ActionParsnip, sry.. the message was for you :) [15:26] Mike80: so systems compromised when this level of access wll allow the virus to propogate effectvely [15:26] !chown [15:26] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

Is that like visudo? I meant useradd [15:28] i tried unmount them in nautilus [15:29] ActionParsnip, thanks. It seems i need to read some more documentation :) [15:29] uffo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745263 [15:29] why would me selecting "ubuntu" wirh a wubi install spit out at a grub prompt? [15:29] carandraug: yeah it's sort of like visudo, and vipw. a safer way to edit the /etc/group file and its shadow. [15:30] wouldn't wubi chainload grub from NTLDR? [15:30] i wouldn't be surprised if there's 10 other ways to edit groups [15:30] nesw: you could just "useradd -G group-name username" [15:30] in which case, it could be wubi's grub having issues i think wols_ [15:30] ahh cool [15:31] geek_: syntax in menu.lst [15:31] ActionParsnip: sorry? [15:31] i mean, i don't quite get it. was just tossing out a possibility ;p [15:33] ping [15:33] geek_: it should boot if the grub.conf is ok [15:33] !ping | iiiii [15:33] iiiii: ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [15:34] * ]K[^Omegadoom Ping | Could not be resolved to an IP address [15:34] ActionParsnip: uffo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745263 - it did not helped, do this help when i create root account [15:34] ActionParsnip: it isn't my problem ;p [15:34] so maybe [15:34] is there a something like vmware for ubuntu? [15:35] !vmware | xukun_ [15:35] xukun_: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [15:35] xukun_: I'm sure vmware worked in Ubuntu. You can try VirtualBox though [15:38] uffo: have you tried unmounting them through the terminal? [15:38] is kvm any good? [15:39] My father has a strange problem: He has installed jalbum in the console and now he only gets a background-color and a mousepointer if he logs into gnome [15:39] how exactly i unmount, i do not have skills with commands i can do gui things only [15:40] uffo: dude, sometimes cli works better than any gui. linux uses a lot of keyboard. its not hard [15:40] uffo: could you pastebin the output of df so I see the devices you want to unmount? [15:40] How do I list all mounted devices? [15:40] Taza: mount [15:40] !lamp [15:40] 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+) [15:41] Taza: "df" or "df -h" for huma readable units [15:41] Taza: on its own lists the mountings [15:41] Well, that was quick [15:41] laptop is offline currently, i write from maincomputer [15:41] carandraug: Useless [15:41] Taza: or you could use gparted [15:41] ActionParsnip: that command is cool. DIdn't knew it === juro_ is now known as Guest14412 [15:41] carandraug: which? [15:41] I think i have a problem with my microphone, In skype is not working, how can i know if the driver is working properly?? [15:41] One useful response, one completely useless response, and one suggesting a GUI where a cli app suffices. [15:41] Ah, #ubuntu [15:41] debmukh50: does it work in other apps? [15:41] i have a gateway tabletpc laptop [15:42] nop, i guess [15:42] ActionParsnip: Thanks. I was thinking it was some kind of switch for mount, instead of just the plain command [15:42] * delcoyote hi [15:42] ActionParsnip: the command mount. I alwaus use df [15:42] Taza: what do you mean useless? The command "df" also gives you a list of mounted devices [15:43] carandraug: But have you seen what it does with HAL? [15:43] I've been trying to increase the resolution for the past few hours with no luck,, I am running Ubuntu using VirtualBox [15:43] actionpar: I tried the sound recorder application but it crashs!! [15:44] Taza: no. What happens? I always used that command and never had any problems [15:44] It gives nonsensical data === Guest14412 is now known as juro [15:44] Taza: hmm. Ok. Now I know [15:45] dude7070: I dont think vbox gives access to your graphics card, so you maybe stuck with low resolution? not sure [15:46] not really but you can pipe it through rev: df | rev, for nonsensical data [15:46] how can I install the driver of the michrophone for my gateway tabletpc laptop?? [15:46] dude7070: instal vbox guest additions [15:47] uffo: you still there? Have you managed to unmount it? [15:49] but what i write in console to unmount all [15:49] which package contains mkfs.ext2 and fsck? [15:49] My libghc6-hgl-dev package is in an inconsistent state. I've gotten ghc-pkg to acknowledge that it exists, but now it complains that it can't find X11-1.3.0. This corresponds to the libghc6-x11-dev package, but I can only find version 1.4.1 on Ubuntu's servers. What should I do? [15:49] efsprogs ? [15:49] something like that [15:49] ehtom, e2fsprogs [15:49] Seveas: thanks [15:50] how does one make someone a user account that does not have sudo privileges? [15:50] How do install locales for en_US and not en_US.utf8 ? [15:50] good morning [15:51] uffo: you have to unmount one by one. Don't know if there's a command to umount all of them. First you have to know which device you want to umount. Imagine it's hda1. You would run "umount /dev/hda1" in the terminal [15:52] HardDriveBlues: depends on what part of the world you're in [15:52] carandraug: i also have an umount problem, the "device is busy" problem, you want to give it a try to help me before I reboot? :) [15:52] uffo: "umount -a" will unmount all devices described in /etc/mtab [15:52] carandraug: I have tried lsof but it doesn't show anything.

[15:53] Seveas, i just created a user and it was granted sudo privileges [15:53] it's not in /etc/sudoers === teKnofreak is now known as techno_freak [15:53] ykphua1: maybe it's possible to force umount (like it's possible to force mount) though I wouldn't recommend it [15:53] frostburn, did you put it in the admin group? [15:53] command not found [15:54] Seveas, he's not a member of any groups [15:54] frostburn, then he has no sudo rights. [15:55] hey, the lazy unmount actually works! [15:55] HardDriveBlues: thanks!! [15:55] Seveas, ah you're right, i just need to chroot him now thanks [15:55] HardDriveBlues: you saved me a reboot! [15:55] since May or whenever it was released every few days when the system update checks for updates it keeps returning linux-headers-2.6.19 group. Is there really that much change every week? Or is there a glitch in my update system? [15:56] uffo: you sure typed umount right? Try "/bin/umount" [15:57] <_numbers_> youtube on ubuntu ? [15:57] hello everyone..

[16:01] Never mind; I found an old version of the library on haskell.org. [16:01] no I didn't [16:01] dbl17z: might be the issue [16:01] how do i install the usb kernel [16:02] but I know the disk works though. cause the same thing happened when I installed fedora on this machine. The only reason I have fedora on this machine is because it timed out and installed anyway. [16:02] *usb in the kernel [16:02] The system works fine but I want to try out ubuntu on the machine now I just can't because of this keyboard issue. [16:02] dbl17z: tried a different usb port?

[16:03] Especially the two ports which are primarily used for the keyboard and mouse. [16:03] yeah [16:03] amanulla: Why do you need to set a root password? [16:03] amanulla: passwd [16:03] !root | amanulla [16:03] uffo: umount, not unmount [16:03] amanulla: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:03] dbl17z: tried a different keyboard? [16:04] I seem to remember a program that allowed one to share a mouse between two x-servers, but fail to remember the name. Could someone enlighten me? [16:04] I can use it fine with anything else except when it boots up to ubuntu from the disk [16:04] dbl17z: check bios has usb legacy enabled [16:04] let me try again and see if it works this time. [16:04] uffo: it's umount, not unmount [16:04] anyone know why i don't get sound in firefox when banshee is playing music and vice versa? [16:04] uffo: also, you can use TAB in the terminal for autocompletion [16:05] Windsurfer619: synergy? i used that once long ago [16:05] !sml [16:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about sml [16:05] nesw: Yes! Thank you so much! [16:05] how can i increase the size of my wubi disk.. w/o reinstalling [16:05] whitethunder922: no idea. I also have the same problem with rhytmbox. Never worried much about it because I rarely use it [16:05] I notice it was a problem cause I booted the disk from an identical system and it did the same thing [16:05] Windsurfer619: see the known issues of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [16:05] carandraug: same, see above [16:06] ActionParsnip: have you ever come across and issue like this ? [16:06] using virtualbox ose do you have to boot into the virtual kernel to use the program or is there something i am doing wrong? [16:06] dbl17z: then the common factor is the keyboard or the cd [16:06] root password means when im trying to run an application its asking me to login as administrator what to do? [16:06] keyboards you mean cause I changed the keyboard. [16:06] kbrosnan: There are problems with synergy and pulseaudio? [16:06] amanulla: use sudo [16:06] kbrosnan: thanks. I'll take a look at it [16:06] amanulla: gksu , then use your own password [16:06] how? [16:07] Windsurfer619: pulsaudio and many browser plugins like flash and realplayer [16:07] im using ubuntu [16:07] amanulla: or use your own password when you're dealing with GUI based apps [16:07] amanulla: yep, gksu will give you all the access you need [16:07] kbrosnan: But.... synergy isn't a browser plugin, is it? [16:07] i can remember that i have to seet some password in terminal [16:08] amanulla: don't mess around with the root until you're comfortable with linux in general [16:08] i cant remember command [16:08] amanulla: there isnt one, and you dont need it [16:08] amanulla: you could do some major damage using the root account [16:08] amanulla: gksu will run it with root priveledges [16:08] In the sound prefrences, I can hear the test when you push the test button, but none of my apps (Like amarok.. etc) give any sound [16:08] kbrosnan: I believe you mixed whitethunder922 problem with Windsurfer619 problem [16:08] how can i increase the size of my wubi disk.. w/o reinstalling??

[18:13] I got it working on my dell, but that was because I used ndiswrapper to install windows intel wireless drivers [18:13] it says "/mnt/usbflash$ " [18:13] c03: Are you configuring it via NetworkManager?

The pc is configured with static ip. my router is a linksys WRT54GX-v2 [18:14] anybody else just had some wild flickering when using Firefox?

[18:16] hi, i have a coupple of questions because im new to kubuntu, when i use apt-get install.. can i write in 2 names in one command so it installs both automaticlly? and when i use sudo can i have something like su thats keeps me logged in as root all the time? [18:16] amanulla: open the buddie list - accounts - manage - add ... [18:16] * kc8pxy thinks this is exactly the sort of auto-magical stuff that limits his ubuntu use. [18:16] unop: no, that's what shows up in my terminal typey thing now before the text: "mark@mark-desktop:/mnt/usbflash$ ", its automatic [18:16] sebastian_: yes ... and use sudo -i [18:16] thx :D [18:17] kc8pxy, the difference is in /etc/apache2/sites-available and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled .. you can have sites available in the first directory .. but they are note functional until enabled (placed in the second directory) -- which a2ensite does [18:17] unop, i can't backspace out of it [18:17] Is there a way to allow fast user switching without having to enter the password between switching? [18:17] anybody just experienced weird flickering and reverting from compiz to metacity a few moments ago? [18:17] glasmark, type cd to go back to the home directory [18:17] glasmark, cd on its own [18:17] chimp: If you don't set a password on the account, it won't ask for one.... other than that, no [18:17] sammyF: my screen is only flickering a few seconds [18:18] hi all [18:18] unop, now what? [18:18] bastid_razor: how can i have the power of root, i am not allowed to save in a folder how do i get that power [18:18] glasmark, then use your filebrowser (nautilus) to view the contents of the directory [18:18] tsuna27: sudo [18:18] hello [18:18] fde: If an account is setup without a password, can it be logged into via ssh? [18:18] d4r1os_: like 1-2 sec, and hten everythign was back to normal (except for metacity being on instead of compiz if you had that on)? when did it happen? [18:18] bastid_razor: thats wont help me [18:19] chimp: sure, but generally you'd just use anonymous in that situation... [18:19] chimp: Unless it's just a LAN, that would be VERY insecure. [18:19] tsuna27; sudo will not work? [18:19] unop:umm? [18:19] bastid_razor: i want to save a picture from the internet and save it to usr/share/pixmaps/splash [18:19] d4r1os_: cause me and a friend experienced it simultaneously on two computers running 8.04 [18:20] fde: I meant in the case of the default setup, if a password isnt set it would be massively insecure === SplinTer0616__ is now known as SplinTer0616_ [18:20] tsuna27: just save it to a directory you have access to... then 'sudo cp /it /there' [18:20] tsuna27; you could save it in directory you are allowed to use then use sudo mv file location/ [18:20] sammyF: same like me... I do not know why it happens but it happens when I am switching between compiz and metacity using compiz-switch [18:21] unop: i guess this is my problem. i hopee this metaphor works. site-available is the collection of trees i can plant. and sites-enabled, is the trees i've planted. all i told it is to plant the default tree, and it said i'd already planted it. then i remove default from the list of trees i could plant, and it works.. that makes no sense. [18:21] chimp: or 'cd /there && sudo wget http://the.path.to/the/file' I suppose [18:21] sammyF: simultaneously??? sounds crazy... ;-) [18:21] d4r1os_: yeah [18:21] unop: imma try and call the friend who helped me set up linux, he might be able to help me, cause he can essentialy hold my hand through the entire process [18:21] kc8pxy, but the default install of apache2 on debian/ubuntu already plants a default tree .. :) [18:21] d4r1os_: especially as we're only communicating through MSN. no connection between our comps. [18:22] maybe there is something with MSN... [18:22] d4r1os_: I was just going to say something about wild flickering when he said "my comp just had an epileptic fit" ;) [18:22] which IM client ? [18:22] kc8pxy, meaning, a file already existed at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default [18:22] chimp: Of course... but any time you bypass passwords, it's insecure :/ [18:22] d4r1os_: pidgin on both .. but it seems it's something to do with Firefox. we both were trying to access /. at the same time [18:22] kc8pxy, which is why you had to delete that file to get a2ensite to copy your file to that location. [18:22] hi i installed the ubuntu server with mdadm, but when i do the boot with 1 disk the system freeze [18:22] d4r1os_: Try emesene or amsn etc... same results? [18:23] bastid_razor: can u tell me the command, i saved it in /home/administrator/Pictures/20075-X-splash.png and i want it in /usr/share/pixmaps/splash [18:23] maiquel: have you install grub for both disk ? [18:23] fde: I do not have these probs while using pidgin... sammyF has these probs [18:23] tsuna27: sudo mv /home/administrator/Pictures/20075-X-splash.png /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/ [18:23] in pidgin while im trying to enable gtald it was showinf a eeror message ".......disabled,not authorize" [18:23] whatevs, ill just get a different flash drive [18:24] unop: a2ensite is simply a wrapper for copying the file over? [18:24] tctsai, yes but the mdadm dont load with 1 disk just 2 disck i has the raid 1 [18:24] fde: not really a problem with pidgin anyway. just some random flickering that happened on two comps at exactly the same time. trying to find out what caused it [18:24] any one installed ubuntu on Acer Aspire One [18:24] in pidgin while im trying to enable gtalk it was showing a error message ".......disabled,not authorize" === RandomCake_ is now known as RandomCake [18:24] !repeat > amanulla [18:24] amanulla, please see my private message [18:25] kc8pxy, pretty much - but it also does some additional checking [18:25] amanulla: You haven't set it up correctly... ensure that the server settings are correct (talk.google.com and ssl enabled) [18:25] tctsai, I setup raid 1, but when I remove a disc he carries the screen's initial boot, but crash when the time comes to start mdadm the screen freezes. [18:25] sammyF: hm... I think I can not help U [18:26] d4r1os_: nah .. I just wondered if anybody had had the same thing at the same time [18:26] que tal amigos, como estan [18:26] d4r1os_: not much to do apart from waiting to see if it happens again. but thanks :) [18:26] !es [18:26] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [18:26] tctsai, I your load by the two discs normal [18:26] sammyF: no problem...

[18:28] fde, I just did a search in Synaptic, 0.6.6 is the newest version? [18:28] and I just updated? [18:28] fde, i have 945, not blacklisted and doesnt play nice. only messes up on direct render [18:28] how do i edit the splash screen [18:28] all other effects are flawless [18:28] c03: I don't use hardy, I have no idea what is in hardy... if that's what packages.ubuntu.com says is latest, then that is latest... [18:29] tctsai, what your s.o version? [18:29] tsuna27: there is a splash-screen-manager available I think [18:29] maiquel: os version ? [18:30] tctsai, sorry, S.O version [18:30] fde, and apparently the package wpasupplicant is installed, and the card is in roamind mode [18:30] =/ [18:30] maiquel: What exactly do you think S.O means? [18:30] out of aces? =/ [18:31] maiquel: what is S.O ? [18:31] c03: And you've attempted to configure it via the 2 computer monitor type things in your panel?

I've tried cheese (doesn't work) .. i'm using webcam but it generates a *.jpg .. it's working [18:32] fde, yes [18:32] andersonorui: networkmanager or firestarter can do that fairly easily... all-be-it a ad-hoc network... [18:32] tctsai, operating system [18:32] hmmm, i think it doesn't help much [18:33] fde: U are so fast answering... no chance to send a comment before U :) [18:33] c03: Then idk...

[18:36] marshall: found yEd Graph Editor on heise.de ... try this [18:36] d4r1os_: ? [18:36] marshall: whats up? [18:37] hello! quick question: I want to run a Matlab program, but I don't have enough RAM + swap. Can I make a second swap partition and have them both working? [18:37] marshall: http://www.heise.de/software/download/yed_graph_editor/26948 [18:37] MAJOR PROBLEM: After rebooting following linux security update, my wireless interface has completey vanished. wlan0 is gone. However, wireless works fine on the XP partition of the same machine [18:38] ratpoison: yes. You swapon [18:38] d4r1os_: that actually looks pretty good.... but generally it's better to only recommend official stuff via official media... [18:38] New kernel update to 2.6.24-19, and I have the NV driver installed from the repos, will the kernel break X as in the past? [18:38] fde: what do U mean? [18:38] so, I somehow create a new swap partition and then just swapon /dev/ [18:38] ratpoison: yes [18:39] sysdoc; if installed from the repo's then you have no worries. [18:39] ratpoison: create it via fdisk or gparted etc [18:39] cool [18:39] ratpoison: yep. And "swapon -s" tells you your currently active swap partitions [18:39] fde: can I use a folder (such as tmp) instead? [18:39] ratpoison: you can use a file as a swap file [18:40] porpoise_: really? [18:40] so, swapon /tmp/ could also work? [18:40] ratpoison: i think you need to allocate it first. ratpoison, yes. [18:40] ok, thnx [18:40] ratpoison: /tmp/ is used for other things, I wouldnt use that directory. [18:40] * fde never heard of that before [18:40] ratpoison: no, i don't think a directory would work [18:41] fde: yeah swapfiles are slightly less efficient than swap partitions, but they're not that bad [18:41] i have a problem with avahi zeroconf browser, yesterday i changed my computer from wireless to wired, and now my laptop that is on wireless cant find the pc. [18:41] hello, is there anyone from poland? i hae some troubles with evolution config [18:41] Pici, ratpoison: not only is /tmp used for other things, but it gets *wiped at boot*. never put or mount anything important in there. [18:41] porpoise_: well, efficiency is not a big deal, it's a "run once" kind of experiment [18:42] still, how about swapon /home/tempswap ? [18:42] TiredWolf: idk if I'd consider swap as important... heh... and I believe swap also gets wiped at boot... so no harm no foul ;) [18:42] still, how about swapon /home/$user/tempswap ? [18:42] hello, is there a channel for HP printers? [18:42] fde, it doesn't matter, suggesting it's ok to put something in /tmp means you're looking for trouble, and you'll find it sooner or later [18:43] ratpoison: why would you put swap in a specific user's directory? [18:43] cottima: HP printers should be very well supported in latest Ubuntu releases... what is the issue? [18:43] ratpoison: put it in root === hiptobecubic^ is now known as hiptobecubic [18:43] ratpoison: you need to make the file tempswap, then do "mkswap tempswap" [18:43] TiredWolf: it's a kind of "do it once, never do it again" [18:43] Can anyone help? Following linux security update, my wireless interface has completey vanished, but wireless works fine on the XP partition of the same machine [18:44] does anyone know how to do castling in glChess? [18:44] anyone here know how to log into gnome from the command line? [18:44] im trying to use the gnome-session command but im having trouble [18:44] fde, my laserjet 1020 is installed, but when I do a test print... nothing. I remember a year and a half ago that I would have to push a "driver" to the printer (/dev/usb0 or something). [18:44] deserteagle: Should be just moving the castle to the square that the king currently is in.... [18:44] so best solution so far # mkdir /tempswap ; mkswap /tempswap ; swawpon /tempswap ? [18:44] fde: =o lemme try that [18:44] im connecting to a server thru SSH but I need to get the server to start up GNOME so I can connect to the VNC server [18:45] deserteagle, you do it by moving the king to his destination square [18:45] noone knows how to fix my problem? [18:45] junglejim: gnome-panel? [18:45] ratpoison: no, mkdir won't work. tempswap has to be a file [18:45] deserteagle: didnt try that ill take a look [18:45] ratpoison: afaik [18:45] hey there, where is the right please to request a dynamips package for ubuntu 64? [18:45] please = place [18:45] Hansemann: please repeat your problem again [18:45] i have a problem with avahi zeroconf browser, yesterday i changed my computer from wireless to wired, and now my laptop that is on wireless cant find the pc. [18:45] ratpoison: if you want to put it into a directory called /tempswap, no. mkdir /tempswap ; mkswap /tmpswap/swapfilename ; swapon /tempswap/swapfilename [18:45] baastrup: go to launchpad.net file a bug report and in the title mark it WISHLIST [18:46] ratpoison: if you just want to put it in root, then forget the mkdir. [18:46] ratpoison: use "dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=65536" to make a 65 Meg swapfile [18:46] Hansemann: there are both on the same net (subnet etc.)?

[18:47] d4r1os_: yep [18:47] dam this was hard as hell to get on this irc...idk why..just wouldn't connect to the room [18:47] Hansemann: so they know each other and found the other... so what is the problem? [18:48] fde, AskHL : doesn't work :( [18:48] d4r1os_: avahi cant find the services, like itunes DAAP share. [18:48] hi [18:49] so, the basic idea is that I create an empty file as large as I like, and then I do everything I'd do as if it were a partition? [18:49] I need some help. I am trying to use windows installer. it does its job..but really slowly even after the first restart....now the problem I have is that everytime it trys to activate the swap...it fails...more like..just freezes there...any idea? (only have 256MB ram in this shitty lappy) [18:49] help nick === preecha is now known as Tg150 [18:50] fde, AskHL : oops, got it :P [18:50] deserteagle: It's certainly possible... although I see several sites saying there was a regression where it wasn't possible, perhaps Ubuntu happened to ship that version of glChess? [18:50] GHhero: Please watch your language in this channel. [18:50] fde, I think the dpi needs changed, but do I have to do this: "cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0" even in ubuntu with the hplip package?

How can i set the 2card the default one ??? [18:57] GHhero, are the data you have on your HD so important that you can't afford shrinking the windows partition to make space for a proper Ubuntu one with the risk of losing them? if yes, then you should have a backup of them already in any case ;) [18:57] suppose update manager wants you to update something, but you have no interest in updating it... is there a way to stop update manager flashing about it?

[19:25] Tapout: lsof | grep something [19:26] does anyone here use port/nic trunking/bonding ?

[19:27] Adakos: bonding is a rather rare subject. [19:27] hello! i got a problem with my wlan card under ubuntu.. after the latest patch to the generic kernel in 8.04 it no longer sees any AP, its a rt2*00, it doesnt work anymore with the older kernel either.. my 4 other wlan enabled devices work just fine :< [19:28] zetheroo: have you checked your syslogs after a FF crash? [19:28] thanks Pici [19:28] hello [19:28] kc8pxy i am finding that out. I have a gigabit switch but it's just not enough bandwidth, and i have 3 or 4 NIC's laying around [19:28] I need help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40730/ [19:28] gaintsura: what is that and where is it? [19:28] whoever runs .. packages.ubuntu.com .. you should check your chit .. it's broken 50% of the time :) [19:28] kc8pxy I attempted to set it up earlier, but it caused a terminal kernel error [19:28] zetheroo: gnome or kde? [19:29] gaintsura: gnome [19:29] hi all [19:29] zetheroo: system->administration->system log [19:29] Adakos: wow... WTH are you duing that a gigabit link is not enough bw? [19:29] I need help [19:29] Are there any debian-installer gurus available? I've got a damaged CDROM that won't read the base system from the ISO, but works with the netboot. Is there any way to get the ubuntu-server install disc to function like the netboot image? (ie, download everything, don't get any packages from the disc) [19:29] rather, a damaged cdrom DRIVE. [19:29] Tapout: There is information on that site of where to report issues, its an email address iirc. [19:29] woot woot woot. finally got on irc from school [19:29] oh sorry wrong channel [19:30] Hi. I have just installed ubuntu 8.04 on my second laptop. It has an Intel graphics card and after about 10-15 minutes the screen begins to flicker and everything gets messed up. I cant do anything but a reboot. [19:30] can anybody help with partitioning? [19:30] draeath: you got a working usb stick and a bios that can boot form it? [19:30] kc8pxy : it's used a fileserver for close to 15 people who tend to stress it out (it'd running a 4x Raid-0 striped array eith 15k rpm drives and they are keeping up well enough) [19:30] hendrik_: nope, ISO or nothing [19:30] kalkan: GPartED [19:30] ok, yes [19:30] old hardware, dead floppy (so no PXE either) [19:30] draeath: no usb or usb stick? [19:30] I have done but i have some problem [19:30] kc8pxy : sorry for the bad typing, im doing many things at once [19:30] !install > draeath, [19:31] gaintsura: about 10 minutes ago I had to do a hard reboot on my laptop to recover from a system crach [19:31] draeath, diskete drive ? [19:31] kalkan: please explain [19:31] Adakos: how is bonding goign to help? [19:31] zetheroo: ok, look through all of the logs for 12 minutes ago [19:31] unsure [19:31] Well here is the hard part. I can use the disc I have ... as long as I can figure out how to prevent it from grabbing packages from the disc and instead get them from the mirror (like mini.iso does) [19:31] it should give you info [19:31] i installed a new opensuse to my ubuntu and deleted and created some partitions,. ubuntu is confussed [19:32] draeath, i guess you just need to edit the sources.list before it start installing packages [19:32] draeath, use a minimal or netinst CD ? [19:32] Can anyone help me choosing the ubuntu that's best for me? [19:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/40730/ [19:32] unop: doesn't seem to be one that also has /preseed/ubuntu-server.preseed (mucks with the default packages) [19:32] kc8pxy: i've narrowed it down to the network (fully gigabit+) and each user uses 150-200 mbit/sec, meaningthe bandwidth caps sooner thanthe ocmponents [19:32] kalkan: sorry i dont know that much of linux, but i do know that if you try and change the front ed of a partition, you're in for a headache. [19:32] i cant fine my partitions, but ubuntu looks to fine that i have already deleted! [19:32] ZeroA4: ah... just remove the cdrom source! [19:33] kalkan: of course it is. don't install multiple distros on top of each other, and expect them to all stay intact. [19:33] draeath, i dont think the minimal CD is preseeded [19:33] for ubuntu-server? It always seems to go desktop or cli, never "server" [19:33] Well i can just suck it up and do that if editing the sources.list file doesn't work... thanks [19:33] draeath, the minimal CD just installs the base-system .. basic to both the desktop and server installs .. what you choose to install depends really === bjames is now known as Guest80941 [19:34] draeath, yes [19:34] i have used 4 distros with no problem, but now i chenged the partitions, now i have problem [19:34] hi all [19:34] Adakos: so you need milti-gigabit from server to switch? but single-gigabit from user to switch should be fine? [19:34] need help about complete freeze in Hardy heron [19:34] Just installed 8.04 from CD, allowed an update of all packages and I get an error about gnome settings daemon on boot [19:34] kc8pxy: you got it [19:34] anyone here written any games with bash? i'm just learning to use it, but thought it would be a great way to *really* bash :) [19:34] hey, I have the GUI tools for MySQL Administrator on my mac, but how would I get it to connect to the MySQL install on my ubuntu machine.

[19:35] im running Ubuntu on VirtualBox and would like to access the shared folder "mysharing" ,, [19:35] Adakos: you do know that both the switch and the server(the pc using bonding on that end) need to know about the bonding, right? [19:35] gaintsura: hmmm .. i don't really know what I am looking for [19:35] I have it enable in VirtualBox,, do i need to type any command in Ubuntu to access it ? how can I access it ? [19:36] ChrisGilmore: maybe mysql only runs on the loopback device :? [19:36] kc8pxy: yeah, it's an enterprise switch that fully supports link aggregation (i.e. bonding) [19:36] I need help! Please!!! [19:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/40730/ [19:36] There's my problem [19:36] Adakos: does the kernel on the server understand bonding? [19:36] dude7070:u will have to install virtualbox addon in guest OS [19:36] hi [19:36] hendrick_: meaning? [19:37] how i can install .ter.bz2??? [19:38] !tgz [19:38] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [19:38] kc8pxy: thats the problem. every time i set it up according to guides i've found it gives me fatal kernel errors on boot (or rather, on the starting of the bond) [19:38] sorry if i doubleposted, my irc acted up [19:38] gnome [19:39] !compile | jorge__ [19:39] jorge__: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [19:39] Adakos: mind going /msg? [19:39] jorge__: files in that format are usually only the source code. You'll need the binary or to compile it [19:39] not at all [19:39] Hmmm i found something nifty that seems to work well. Anyone else use LUKS disk encryption? [19:39] draeath: Sure. [19:40] jorge__: have you checked whether the package is available through APT? [19:40] anyone have any clue why FF3 is acting up for me ..? [19:40] zetheroo, what's it doing [19:40] It seems the normal way to do so is to set up LVM first, then do LUKS. I did it the other way around... now my root and swap are protected in the same contigious encryption (with a single passphrase). suspend-to-disk works that way too! === richo is now known as Guest47918 [19:40] Refefer: an array of strange things ... [19:40] zetheroo, such as? [19:40] thanks [19:41] Refefer: for example sometimes I minimize it and my system crashes so hard I have to power off by holding the power button [19:41] So, I have /dev/hda1 as /boot, and /dev/hda2 is encrypted. That gets unlocked, the 'drive' under that then gets LVMed into peices. [19:41] hi room [19:41] my username in ppp properties keeps reverting to its old settings. i've edited both pap and chap-secrets to remove the old settings, but the username still remains ... how can i change it? [19:41] zetheroo, wow, that doesn't sound good. Do you have any addons or extentions installed? [19:41] Refefer: of sometimes when I right click on a link or anywhere on the web page it launches the SaveAs dialog or bookmarks etc ... [19:42] zetheroo: you should use SysRq instead of power button in those cases [19:42] carandraug: SysRq? [19:42] todays kernel update 2.6.24-19 renders my system unbootable, has anyone experienced this [19:42] Refefer: yes a few extensions [19:43] after upgrading to hardy apache2 was pointing at /var/www. as it once were but i want it to point to /var/ftp/webbserver so when i pointed enabled sites and availabled sites in etc/apache2 to my webbserver folder i cant longer see any of content since it says i dont got permission.... but according to my graphical explorer it says that i got full permission... what to do? [19:43] Refefer: Download Status Bar, Download Helper, FlashGot and Save Complete ....they all worked very well in the past [19:43] zetheroo, have you tried disabling them and seeing whether or not it fixes the stability problems? Also, what plugins do you have installed(flash, etc.) [19:43] Ubuntu updated the kernel today and now my music wont play. I get this error in the syslog. Pulseaudio 5635 module asa sink.c error opening PCMCIA Device. System busy. [19:43] test [19:44] anyone have any ideas? [19:44] Refefer: Plugins .. yes a number [19:44] this is probably blasphemous, but anybody know how I can get Nano style keybaord shortcuts for regular terminal editing? like the set -o vi option [19:44] pbrown, todays kernel gets stuck on my system on the splash screen, even failsafe mode [19:44] My system is normal other than the sound wont work [19:45] It will play wav but nor MP3 or Cd [19:45] as much as I like vi, I'm trying to switch to dvorak, and unless I can use the dvorak vim script for the regular terminal, I'm going to want a different set of shortcuts [19:45] zetheroo, I would try running FF3 with a clean profile (no extentions) and see if that clears it up. I would also try uninstalling it and reinstalling it, and purging the configuration files [19:45] zetheroo: I don't know about your FF3 problem. SysRq is a list of keyboards shortcuts you can use to send orders directly to the kernel (and LInux kernel should answer because it shouldn't be frozen). If you press Alt+SysRq (look in PrtScn) you give the kernel the order to turn off, unmounting everything first and all that stuff [19:45] Any idea on a remedy for the sound issue? [19:46] zetheroo, just on the off chance something went wrong [19:46] i thought something like this would be unacceptable on an ubuntu system, updates breaking stuff [19:46] pbrown985 check your volume settings ... the kernel update may have reverted them. [19:46] my username in ppp properties keeps reverting to its old settings. i've edited both pap and chap-secrets to remove the old settings, but the username still remains ... how can i change it? [19:46] carandraug: ok ... sounds good [19:46] hi guys [19:46] they are all good [19:46] zetheroo: Alt+Sysrq+ a letter. Different letters have diferent effects. To turn off safelly in those cases, you should use the order REISUB [19:46] it locks up amrock [19:47] Refefer: yeah .. I suppose I could do that ... === devnull is now known as devnull_ [19:48] hello [19:48] today i install ubuntu and updates 257 files, i confirgure compiz and i can use cubebox too, But i noticed when i play videos in ubuntu, the quality is very poor as compared to windowsXP Media Player, why is that? any suggestion to fix the problem [19:48] hey guys, I installed kubuntu-desktop to try it out and I want to remove all of it... it is just eating up extra disk space [19:48] Trae: Remove kdelibs4.

[19:48] my upgrade to 8.04 is stopped at configuring local .... i am manually doing dpkg --configure -a .... when this is done should i just restart and be in the new version ?

IN the case of most games like Diablo II you'll have to use Wine, that's for sure but for stuff like MSN messenger, Winamp, Photoshop, etc.. you will find nice alternatives [19:59] prabu: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager.

You either compile it from the open source or get a deb file. You'll most likely find deb files in the repositories [20:02] !u | prabu [20:02] prabu: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..

[20:04] i have no idea [20:05] just shuts firefox down [20:05] before the video finishes loading [20:05] so here's a weird one: somehow, while trying to configure a dial-up/PPP connection in the Gnome Network Manager, I seem to have killed my wifi [20:05] j800r, have you tried reinstalling FF3?

Now I know this file works. How can I copy the file and ignore this error? [20:06] j800r: from sysnaptic? [20:06] Doska: sorry, we don't support piracy here. [20:06] prabu: avant browser doesn't give deb files nor releases the source code to be compiled for Linux systems like UBuntu. You need to either use wine (and it may or may not run with it) which can make it slightly slower, or use an alternative. I recommend Firefox3 [20:06] kbrosnan, usually via apt-get :\ [20:06] Are their any other major apps you need to have, like "Wine" [20:07] Refefer, erm...explain please? [20:07] gigabyte: to do what?

[20:07] ok . where can i get d firebox3 ? [20:07] j800r, when you use 'apt-get remove Firefox3' without the --purge tag, it doesn't remove the configuration files for FF3 from your home directory [20:07] kbrosnan, nop, intel x86 [20:08] what edits do you need to the grub menu?

I installed the new updates and then restarted my computer as asked, now it's all fu**ed up. My screen has these hundreds of lines next to each other or something?

Does anyone know if there is support for Ad-Hoc with the zd1211 wireless chipset? Because I set the option and it doesn't give an error, but it doesn't work at all. I've seen the driver webpage (zd1211rw) and it says that Ad-Hoc is not implemented yet. Howver, if it is not implemented, why I don't get any erro when setting it with the "iwconfig" command? [20:08] Gnea, i need to know If my Drive CAN burn DVD, how can i tell? [20:08] I have "EHCI" mentioned in my dmesg, but not sure if that's just due to the fact that I have a USB 2-capable hub plugged in [20:08] too lazy to reboot ;-) [20:08] though Refefer is right, backing up your ~/.mozilla and apt-get purge might help [20:08] reikalusikka: again, no need for language. Even obfuscated. Try rebooting to an older kernel. [20:08] reikalusikka: dude, masking the word doesn't change anything - don't do it. [20:09] ok i will try now [20:09] Prabu, you should already have it if you have ubuntu, otherwise type sudo apt-get install firefox into the terminal [20:09] Refefer, do i put the --purge at the end of apt-get remove? [20:09] i am unable to boot ubuntu for some reason and get error 17 from grub. i think that if anything i made some changes to my gdm themes and possibly edited a line in menu.lst bur cant remember what. my menu.lst is here: http://pastebin.com/m2014b42b [20:09] It's not my ____ mother tongue, I don't know how else to expres my self [20:09] gnea brasero shows DVD-RAM GSAH55N [20:09] how do I reboot to other kernel?

[20:10] reikalusikka: in the GRUB menu there's a list with older kernels. Try the one before the update [20:10] ok [20:10] reika just hit escape at grub to select a different kernal or even the failsafe one [20:10] nw15062, i understand, its just that i dont remember what i may have messed up in menu.lst. i think i edited some line at some point. once agai its at http://pastebin.com/m2014b42b [20:10] ok, i'll give purging a go :\ [20:11] j800r: what was thi initial problem?

I am not happy that my server is offline either. Can you tell me how to set it permanently to 100/full [20:32] jordan, check your /etc/mysql/my.cnf [20:32] joaopinto : yeah, I bound it to my local address (eth1 - 192.168.0.1) but that didnt help [20:33] hwilde, well, i assume you can use ethtool in an init script -- one that starts really early [20:33] jordan, and you also need to set proper access privileges from mysql, grant access from remote hosts [20:33] joaopinto : how do I do that?

But does it work properly? isnt it better to change some file in X manually instead? :S === cshadowrun is now known as CShadowRun [20:43] chubs: I apologize for the delay, I was reading a thread that I thought might be of help, but isn't. === seanw is now known as ilona [20:44] hello [20:44] AzizLight: meh, I don't see why === ilona is now known as yoda [20:44] hwilde: Preferences->Keyboard, Layouts tab [20:44] does dd if=... command copy all the sectors of a disk or only the data on the disk ?

[20:45] jjlee, why are you talking to me I want ethernet nic settings not keyboard [20:45] P_Kable: dd knows nothing about disks [20:45] oops, hwilde, that should have been directed to AzizLight [20:46] chubs: I figured that was directed towards me, I've done the same thing many times [20:46] AzizLight: see my messages directed as hwilde [20:46] P_Kable: it simply reads blocks of data from one file to another [20:46] linxeh=> :D ok so only data, thanks [20:46] hypoon: it may be helpful to reboot from the command line, to see what it's hanging on. if you don't know how to do that ctrl+alt+f3. then login and sudo reboot [20:46] jrib: ?? what do you mean? :S [20:46] P_Kable: well, it is kind of "block" aware, and can iirc cope with short blocks in a number of ways [20:47] P_Kable: probably best to check the manpage [20:47] P_Kable: sector layout is pretty much fixed on disks anyway ? [20:47] AzizLight: just that once you have the xmodmap command you want, you need to tell your computer to run it every time you login [20:47] What would be the easiest way to install new kernel on my 64bit hardy ??? [20:47] chubs: ok [20:47] mad_max02: update-manager of course [20:47] because I have 1T disk with 693G of data, I need to backup this on a 750G disk linxeh [20:48] jrib, there is no new kernel available in the package manager [20:48] *update manager [20:48] hypoon: so do that and pay attention to the output, it seems as if it's hanging on something, then report back here if you can't figure it out from there [20:48] jrib: I can't do this because I use fluxbox [20:48] mad_max02: have you enabled the -security and -updates repositories? [20:49] AzizLight: why can't you do it? There are ways to make programs run when you start fluxbox [20:49] where is the .asoundrc located? someone told me that I have to make sure that all my sound is passed via the spdif...just a bit lost [20:49] chubs: I just booted without the "splash" and "quiet" parameters. At the login screen, I rebooted, and it didn't freeze. [20:49] chubs: I think it might have something to do with me logging in then.

[20:49] * amal029 thinks running Linuses git repo is the best way to keep uptodate with the kernel [20:49] jrib: perhaps AzizLight made the same mistake as me, and meant to direct that message to me [20:49] mad_max02: then you have the newest kernel in the repositories [20:50] chubs: I'm trying it WITH "quiet" and "splash" but WITHOUT logging in now [20:50] P_Kable: you should copy the partition over block for block, then resize the partition to expand it to the new disk size [20:50] jrib: I already change the capslok key before I used fluxbox, now it's back to normal. I want this to become permanent [20:50] jrib, yes I have the "newest kernel in the repositories" but I want to install newest kernel available [20:50] P_Kable: create a new partition the same number of blocks as the old one on the new drive, and start the dd copying [20:50] hypoon: alright, so it would seem that something that loads upon login is not unloading upon reboot [20:50] AzizLight: make the command run everytime you log into fluxbox [20:51] mad_max02: why? You would need to compile that... [20:51] jrib: you mean the xmodmap command? [20:51] AzizLight: yes [20:51] somehow, after attempting (unsuccessfully) to set up a Sprint mobile broadband modem through GNOME network manager, my wifi card refuses to try to associate to any wifi routers/APs [20:51] chubs: my thoughts exactly, brb [20:51] jrib: yeah that's what I'm gonna do [20:51] jrib, if there is no easy way yes I will need to compile.

[20:53] madmax02: you'll have to compile, but if you're adverse to the idea of compiling your own kernel it's strange that you'd need it. so i'll echo jrib and ask why?

[20:55] Hello. === cheezburger is now known as seanw [20:56] jrib, thanks. hope this mobo works nice after that [20:56] fde: its high quality streaming video, in windows its not pixelated, I know it has to do with antialias settings, but I cant get into the catalyst control center (says driver is not configured properly, when I know it is) [20:57] Can I make ubuntu show what it's doing at bootstrapping rather than showing me a moving bar? [20:58] has anyone here installed the driver for Ralink RT2860 without any problems? [20:58] pim_: yes, put "nosplash" in the kernel command line and also... uh, i don't remember the command to make it verbose. possibly "verbose". [20:58] pim_: get rid of quiet and splash in /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:58] and gotten it to work! haha [20:58] jrib I'll try that, now [20:58] what i need to know is if there is some file or variable i can edit to change which one of the two screen resolutions in system->settings->resolution the gnome panels and the logins screens size is configured after. [20:58] pim_: right, you need just get rid of quiet to make it verbose. [20:59] how to use kiba dock ? === Pyrorapt1r is now known as Pyroraptor [20:59] Anyone who could help me with the installation and possibly configuration of the driver for my network card? [20:59] How do i force close a app [21:00] thanks guys I commented out quiet and splash [21:00] I'll try it [21:00] chubs: ok, so I rebooted the second time. There was no splash screen this time either, even though I didn't remove "quiet" and "splash" from the grub command line this time (in other distrobutions, the removals were only temporary, is that not true for ubuntu?) However, it froze just before the actual reboot again. [21:00] anyone know anything in here about php? [21:00] frosty: installing or writing? [21:01] hypoon: so what did it hang on? did you read the message? [21:01] gigabyte: run 'xkill' and then click on the offending app [21:01] hypoon: if you reboot from the command line there shouldn't be a splash screen [21:01] jrib, i just have to modify it a little...... [21:01] jrib, following a wordpress tutorial [21:01] hey guys :) [21:01] thanks [21:02] frosty: ##php for programming in php support [21:02] chubs: so basically, this is what happened: I removed splash and quiet from the boot line, then continued booting. At the login screen, I rebooted. It successfully rebooted, and I let it boot back up without my interference. At the login screen, I rebooted again, and it hung [21:02] ajuda? [21:03] im new to ubuntu, does anyone know of a good binary/octal/decimal/hexadecimal to text converter? [21:03] hypoon: at the login screen switch to a text console and reboot from there, then see if it hangs [21:03] and try it till it hangs i guess [21:03] chubs: * running local boot script (/etc/rc.local) [OK] [21:03] chubs: that was the last message [21:03] chubs: then I got a blinking cursur [21:03] !wine [21:03] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[21:04] chubs: Yes, it [21:04] chubs: *it's definitely not just going slowly [21:05] Simple question I hope. I attempted to install gDevilspie and it failed, now its got unmet dependancies, and it broke my synaptics PM somehow. How do I get it to force remove? [21:05] hypoon: hm, so maybe it's a gnome problem [21:05] chubs: actually, when I pressed the power button, it moved on past that message, and just shut down. [21:05] hello [21:05] is there a particular reason that my optical drives have suddenly stopped working? [21:06] will02: they broke [21:06] thanks for the advice on the local bug ... now i am just having an issue with my 3d desktop that everything is starting invisible and ever effect is aswell [21:06] ^5 chubs [21:06] chubs: both of them, yet, the trays still manage to work properly [21:06] ok, I've got a really bad bug here... [21:06] DCC SEND 88888888888888888 [21:06] will02: do they mount when you logout/back in? I had the same problem sometime ago. [21:07] shey, no they dont appear, but the bios recognizes them [21:07] hypoon: so it's not really hanging then, but x isn't starting? [21:07] hi all. just installed ubuntu. i love how it works with my wireless, but i cannot make sense of 'how' it works. i believe network manager is doing all the heavy lifting, but it still seems murky [21:07] commenting out the defoptions did not help to prevent it showing me the bar instead of the bootprocess, should I completely remove the line? [21:07] chubs: it's not on the way up, it's on the way down that it's hanging [21:07] will02: try to see if you can mount them manually thru the command line. [21:07] will02: do they show up in ubuntu? what do you mean by not working? [21:08] chubs, when i put in a disk, they do not recognize the disk and the disk burner will not see them either, i only have the option of burning a disk image [21:08] anyone know why my cairo-dock has a big ugly black box underneath it? [21:09] hypoon: oh right right, so maybe it's an acpi issue and it's not properly shutting off the hardware is all [21:09] whenever my computer goes into the screen saver (I think, it seems to just be periods of inactivity), the whole computer stops and all I can get is a black screen, and I end up having to unplug it [21:09] chubs: sounds possible [21:09] hypoon: now how to fix that i've no idea, but i guess it's something to go on [21:09] chubs: alright. I've actually been an interface to another person all this time, and right now I need to go, so I'm trying to get him in this channel [21:09] will02: but they've worked previously?

[21:10] hypoon: alright [21:10] SherlawkDragon: google ACPI [21:10] will02: so just today they no longer work? and you changed nothing recently? [21:10] SherlawkDragon: google ACPI ubuntu {rather} [21:11] chubs, the only thing iv done is replaced the mobo and they worked after that, and then i moved the case [21:11] dansih irc channel for ubuntu somehing like #ubuntu-dk ?

[21:12] well, one is sata, the other ide, but they wouldnt have shown up in the bios then [21:12] shey> how would that be the problem?

[21:24] chubs: I have to go now, so I'll leave you two to your troubleshooting(s) [21:24] snip3r: well as I told your friend I think it's probably an ACPI issue at this point, and you may have to do some configuring to see if things change [21:24] SherlawkDragon: sudo apt-get upgrade && apt-get upgrade [21:24] whoops [21:24] SherlawkDragon: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [21:24] hi people! iv installed hardy, and tryied to use the nvidia driver as it suggested, but it says my monitor its out of range, just after i put the login [21:25] will future releases include OpenJDK, Tomcat, Eclipse out-of-the-box? [21:25] SherlawkDragon: you can also "try" to disable the ACPI settings in the BIOS. [21:25] chubs: will the configuration be over my head? [21:25] chubs: thanks a lot for all your help, hope things end up working without too much more trouble. See you all later [21:25] iv changed the xorg.conf many times, with my H and V sync, used gksudo nvidia-settings, but no luck [21:25] snip3r: you may have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add acpi=force to the end of a line [21:25] hypoon: c ya [21:25] hypoon: see you later [21:25] crap! I fergot I came here with a purpose. My apt broke. I need to force remove a package that failed to install. [21:25] shey> I know the BIOS almost by heart: there is no optiont to do so. [21:25] the nvidia console creates another xorg.conf that seems fine, gets my monitor and vcard, but always after i log in gets my monitor out of range [21:25] snip3r & chubs: byes [21:26] linnuxxy: yes [21:26] but I'm not sure that is the problem [21:26] chubs: and by adding that line what will i be doin?

I'm trying to get my laptops speakers to cooperate with me here with no luck. When I plug my headphones into my headphone jack in the front of my laptop, my music/videos can still be heard through the regular speakers in my laptop case. I've tried to play around with the sound setting in the mixer but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? [21:27] chubs: how do i get to my default option?

[21:36] does anyone know where I can go to disable my speakers? [21:36] so what to do now guys [21:36] snip3r: it should have. use the arrow keys to navigate to the end of the line starting with kernel. then type acpi=force and hit enter [21:36] matrix, try right clicking on the title bar [21:36] then b to boot i think [21:36] jagggy> I doubt he's the type to compile an older thing.

It isn't that the card isn't picked up, or that it doesn't mostly work, its that the 3D acceleration doesn't work. Weird errors dealing with opengl occur, and glxinfo comes back with an error. glxgears will not run [23:04] I have tried letting xorg reconfig itself by removing xorg.conf [23:04] this is how I get the typical 2D support, and the desktop runs fine [23:04] but the 3D support doesn't configure itself properly, and things are missing.

[23:06] amal029, useless use of cat [23:06] amal029, no doubt you read the article about overusing cat today... [23:07] amal029, I will give that log a read [23:07] Rolaulten: yes, ext3 is your best option [23:07] linxeh: cool, thanks [23:07] can i install 2 modems in 7.10?

[23:13] I tried already System-Key shortcuts, cleared them all [23:13] u2227: no, but generally you can replace ALT with escape in terminal apps.

And it will take a fair amount of time. [23:15] anybody know if i can use my bluetooth headset as a sip phone for ekiga? [23:15] koshari, georgy_28: I'll try both. Thanks!

[23:17] linxeh: Well, if you would have said 73gb i'd think differently :) [23:17] rebel_kid: indeed, dd gives no progress updates. It will give you some statistics when it finishes, but not before. [23:17] LurkerInTheWebs, you use it at a terminal/console .. just type screen [23:17] err 74gb [23:17] KebabBob: 80gb, SATA. [23:18] ok I am sorry to ask again, but anyone got an idea if tehre is a GNOME keyboard config file? [23:18] qr_: thanks just making sure its actually working [23:18] I didn't know they made 80gb disks anymore - the sas and 10k sata are usually 74gb [23:18] server irc.tin.it [23:18] Because of platter size [23:18] KebabBob: 7200 sata [23:18] qr_, you can get dd to give you a status update while it is running [23:18] unop, then what?

I'm planning on installing one or the other.... [23:32] nks_: install ubuntu and then install kde4. switch and try both :) [23:32] nks_: they are ubuntu and kde are completely different things... kde can live within ubuntu though [23:32] nks_: I would say use 8.04 first before going into KDE4..That's my opinion [23:32] nks_: kde4 is a 'beta' [23:32] is it possible to use driver SIS mirage 3+ for Esprimo 5535 or it is only for windows [23:32] Is there a way to delete one or the other after installation? [23:33] nks_: you can have both installed at the same time [23:33] do i have revert to windows to use raphics driver [23:33] nks_: both gnome and kde is just packages [23:33] doesn't matter, you only need to log out to switch between them [23:33] rebel_kid, what's the matter?
