[00:39] ScheissDroge3, so ill make it ext with 6.06 then try again with 8.04 but after my breakas [00:39] nothos: /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 [00:39] unop: richiefrich: http://www.webinject.org/ looks ok [00:39] hh i got another one, firefox keeps saying theres a redirection loop aon most of the webpages i visit [00:39] Elff: Okay, good [00:39] which can tbe right [00:39] s3a:try that [00:40] Elff: now do df -h [00:40] s3a:try that, check bios again for correct settings (not auto) [00:40] nothos: /dev/sda1 is my / [00:40] ActionParsnip: 0o [00:41] ActionParsnip: ahh ok [00:41] typedestereo:? [00:41] Expl01ted, is there a way to stop the Live CD at the grub meu so I can add the all_generic_ide and irqpoll kernal arguments? [00:41] Elff: Good, then sda3 is most probably your ntfs partition (I'm assuming sda2 is your swap [00:41] nothos: also wierd that its SDA since the hdd in that pc is IDE [00:41] cyberai, yes .. press ESC then e to edit the entry [00:41] hi [00:41] unop: but do you know is there a package for rt2570, or can i search for it [00:42] cyberai: listen to unop. [00:42] Elff: are you sure? [00:42] who wants midna for a recurring zelda character say I,I [00:42] richiefrich, packages.ubuntu.com or the serialmonkey website [00:42] !ot | WikiUser73 [00:42] Elff: either way, run sudo /dev/sda then press p [00:42] WikiUser73: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:42] Elff: Then you'll be 100% sure which is NTFS [00:43] who wants midna for a recurring zelda character say I,I [00:43] unop, at what point do I hit esc? [00:43] wait...wait exactly am I adding to sources.list to have it recognise the ubuntu disc [00:43] unop: ooh ok thanks again [00:43] unop: any idea where else dpkg searches for archives aside from /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? [00:43] i have set up my wireless driver and even manualy set up the network nae ip gateway and wep password and i still dont have wireless internet! [00:43] someone gonna say I [00:43] I [00:43] cyberai, ahh, you're using the live CD .. errm, not sure here .. F3 or F4 perhaps [00:43] unop: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com thats the site i wioll search [00:43] nothos: i tried to mount sda3 but it said it wasnt ntfs so i mounted sda2 and that is the right one... but the hard drive is definately IDE [00:43] will * [00:43] guess... [00:44] Elff: How odd... [00:44] Elff: Still, as long as it works I guess :\ [00:44] Expl01ted, what do you mean when you say "dpkg searches" ?? [00:44] nothos: ok thanks for your help :) [00:44] Elff: No problemo :) [00:44] Expl01ted use find or locate to get the place where your compiled deb is [00:45] unop: I want it to completely redownload mono, my compiled package is broken, it wont redownload it. === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [00:45] Expl01ted, apt-get clean then try again [00:45] koshari, dpkg -L packagename is perhaps more reliable and faster [00:46] hey guys.. if i use "fakeroot apt-get --build source NameOfPackage" there are/is some *.deb being built, right? where do i find it? [00:46] guuude aaach [00:46] Expl01ted did you remove the package via synaptic? its prolly seeing your compired version as newer [00:46] pepper, you shouldn't need to use fakeroot like that [00:47] Does anyone know how I can swap the cmd and alt key on my macbook keyboard? [00:47] unop: i need that: https://launchpad.net/~thinkpad-x300/+archive - but my kernel is newer than -19 [00:47] pepper, the built debs are placed in the current directory [00:47] i have a quetion regarding ARP [00:47] anyone know anything about ARP? [00:47] whats the fdisk command to show all the partitions on a disk? [00:48] !anyone | lenswipe [00:48] lenswipe: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:48] OK, I have the solution for the LiveCD issue! If you hit F6 and then put all_generic_ide and irqpoll in as kernal args the LiveCD will BOOT [00:48] RifleEyes, fdisk -l /dev/sdXX [00:48] RifleEyes; sudo fdisk -l ( l is a lowercase L ) [00:48] unop: ah, here they are.. thanks :) [00:48] RifleEyes, you might need to use duso with it [00:48] thank you guys. [00:48] I just installed 8.04, I rebooted and put the disc in for repositories but synaptic doesn't recognise them...it's included in the sources file, too. what's the deal? [00:48] RifleEyes, i mean sudo .. err [00:48] haha [00:49] I used Cain and Abel ARP packet poisoning to demonstrate to a freind (he was sat next to me watching) wile he typed a false username and pass into youtube why you shouldnt login to things in public places [00:49] what kinda of video card do you guys recommend for video editing in ubuntu ? [00:49] will the admins see the ARP? [00:49] i dont wana get banned cos i didnt do anything wrong [00:49] lenswipe: This is not an appropriate topic for #ubuntu [00:49] koshari: no it was removed via other means : dpkg -r mono [00:49] ... [00:50] Pici: well can you tell me where i can discuss this then plase [00:50] lenswipe: what is that [00:50] lenswipe: i know where! [00:50] lenswipe: maybe ##networking, but definitely not here. #freenode might be able to point you in the right direction too. [00:50] tyvm === Sergeant_Pony is now known as KB1OHY [00:50] lenswipe: pm [00:50] either way, another time another place. Im out. [00:51] hi i was told to use xubuntu an went to this website: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/hardy/release/ which option should i choose? [00:52] rrrmanion, desktop if you wish for the live CD .. alternate if not [00:53] how much ram does live cd require? [00:53] olivetreeprorhet [00:53] rrrmanion, for xubuntu i think it's 192 MiB -- you might be able to scrape by with less [00:54] like 191? [00:54] you'll struggle with less than 192 for xubuntu... hell you'll sturggle with 192 [00:54] rrrmanion, heh [00:54] i cant remember how much ra, i have [00:54] it's not actually that much lighter than regular ubuntu [00:55] SlimeyPete, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xubuntu says 192 MiB [00:55] rrrmanion, have you got an old pc? [00:55] hi... how can i seed i torrent that i just upload to a tracker.... im using transmission [00:55] SlimeyPete, as does http://www.xubuntu.org/get [00:56] SlimeyPete, i'd argue that it is much lighter then ubuntu .. but that's just me [00:56] my gaim connections fail, can anyone help? i have feistyfawn 7.04 on an apple G4 PowerMac [00:56] wouldn't a <256mb system be better on using a wm like blackbox or the old enlightment? [00:56] yes === vincent is now known as Guest44007 [00:56] hi... how can i seed i torrent that i just upload to a tracker.... im using transmission [00:57] unop i have 191 as a matter of fact [00:57] smee, I used to run XFCE on debian with 192MiB RAM .. but it didn't have everything the xubuntu desktop has [00:57] but will a mac work? maybe gaim just isn't formatted for apple computers. [00:57] rrrmanion, http://www.xubuntu.org/get says To run the Desktop CD (LiveCD + Install CD), you need 128 MB RAM to run or 192 MB RAM to install. [00:58] rrrmanion, http://vectorlinux.com/news rrrmanion: 191 is not enough to run ubuntu LiveCD. Can't remember how much they asked but it was more. [00:58] carandraug, he's contemplating xubuntu not ubuntu [00:58] unop: opps [00:58] bofh80 its a presairio 2500 before it ran xp home [00:58] hi guys [00:59] I'm thinking about buying this video card for linux [00:59] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130316 [00:59] what do you guys think ? [00:59] will this video card work with linux ? [00:59] rrrmanion, do you know what cpu it has ? [00:59] rrrmanion: you may want to check out Fluxbuntu as well. [01:00] floppyears, should be fine .. though you might need to put in some extra effort getting it to run [01:00] intel celeron [01:00] hi... how cant i seed i torrent that i just upload to a tracker.... im using transmission.. how can I add it to the seed list? [01:00] floppyears: i've read some issues getting the 8400 to work... [01:00] rrrmanion, do you know the speed ? [01:00] haostun: you should be able to jsut open the torrent and point it at the complete files. [01:01] des anyone know if there anyone workin on a multimedia pluggin for Macs?I think Hubbe is isn't he? [01:01] haostun try the #transmission server [01:01] thanks guys I'll take a look at another one [01:01] why would vsftp cuase this error "could not get file size" when trying to upload something? [01:01] ok tnx [01:01] lol can you all stop looking at the video card page, it wont load for me lol =) [01:01] a_: Macs? This is the Ubuntu support channel, are you sure you're in the right place? [01:01] rrrmanion, your machine from what i can see looks fine for ubuntu. if it needs more memory, i'm quite sure it would be cheap enough to double or more your memory [01:02] floppyears: if you can affor to get more i would do so [01:02] Yeah 7.04 on a g4 power pc [01:02] floppyears: ie aim at least for 8800gt [01:02] thanks guys [01:03] what do you guys think about this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130085 [01:03] smee: any specific reason why you would suggest an 8800gt ? [01:03] !nvidia | floppyears [01:03] floppyears: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:04] what distro do you guys suggest for a Pentium MMX 199Mhz with 96Mb Ram ? It currently has a Debian fresh install [01:04] thanks unop [01:04] I think Im on the right page. onyone familiar with freegeek in pdx? [01:04] carandraug, debian itself [01:04] my mouse is unusable on the current 8.04 Ubuntu kernel version, it disconnects every few seconds. does anyone know where I can download an older kernel without this bug ? [01:04] carandraug: all distros will work the same, you probably want a light gui such as blackbox [01:04] this is my first time using irc.. [01:04] yup [01:04] on ubuntu channel [01:05] unop: ok. Thanks. That's what I thought when I installed it. Just wondering if someone knew something more adequated [01:05] anyone online here from pdx? [01:05] carandraug, http://vectorlinux.com/news [01:05] sorry i thinked some how i dced [01:05] floppyears: I was thinking about fluxbox which I'ma lready used or maybe try ratpoison which as intrigued me for a long time [01:06] hi [01:06] carandraug: I recommend ICEWM if you want functionality/features, XFCE4 if you want a "full desktop" or Fluxbox if you want pretty and don't care about a lack of features/usability [01:06] whats a good application to browse usenet and support ssl downloads? [01:08] carandraug: any of those will work just fine. Just don't try using gnome or kde since it will make the machine a bit slow [01:08] Samus_Aran: IceWM looks very windowish, not looking for a desktop. I use fluxbox and don't think it's featureless. Anyway in that computer I want to experiment so I'll probably go for ratpoison or Ion [01:08] lwizardl: perhaps try Pan. I used to like it a lot more in earlier versions, it annoys me now. [01:09] Samus_Aran: yeah but doesn't support SSL and more than 4 connections [01:09] i need help installing ubuntu when it sees my partitions as unallocated space [01:09] carandraug: if you compare the feature sets of ICEWM and Fluxbox, Fluxbox is featureless [01:09] carandraug: everything in ICEWM is configurable, and it has full keyboard support [01:09] what would you suggest as a good ftp client for ubuntu [01:10] Samus_Aran, ice-wm is outdated somewhat, compared to lightweight desktop environment, LXDE. you should check it out sometime [01:10] Tanuck: ncftp or lftp on the console, most people use gftp in X. I think Filezilla may be available, it's better [01:10] bofh80: I haven't heard of that one before, I'll take a look [01:10] kk cheers [01:11] carandraug: Fluxbox for instance does not have more than basic keyboard support [01:11] Samus_Aran, don't get me wrong, when it coems to light window managers, icewm rocks, i had it as favorite setup on debian for ages . :) [01:11] carandraug: you can do everything with the keyboard in ICEWM, easily [01:11] there is also FVWM, worth checking out [01:11] can be a pain to setup FVWM, but it has a lot of feautures === dVs is now known as Guest24095 [01:12] Samus_Aran: maybe. But has worked fine for me so far. Do you know something exotic? It's for a computer where I'll experiment. For fun [01:12] Samus_Aran: FVWM you say? Ok, I'll check it out. Thanks [01:12] carandraug: I recommend installing every window manager available in Ubuntu, and trying them all for a bit [01:13] anyone wanting a distro that runs on your OLD hardware like it SHOULD, check out http://vectorlinux.com/news . i ran it on a p120mhz no problem. Vector Linux Light [01:13] although first impressions of window managers are often wrong [01:13] ICEWM for instance, people say "it's like Windows". Nope. Windows has nothing on it [01:13] what were the other linux distros you suggested to me earlier [01:13] i need help installing ubuntu when it sees my partitions as unallocated space [01:13] I'm back. [01:14] RifleEyes: just format the unallocated space. [01:14] dude, my other OSs are on it. [01:14] RifleEyes: if the space is unallocated, thre's nothing on it. [01:14] thats lies [01:14] it doesn't even have a filesystem [01:14] how do I do that? fomat unallocatted space? [01:14] there is obviously stuff on it because i'm running on it right now [01:15] RifleEyes: ok.. then well good luck w/ your problem [01:15] anyone else know something about this? [01:15] hello [01:15] Samus_Aran: its not that windows has nothibg on, just nothing decent [01:15] dmraid question, i have 2 non sytem disks that are in mirroring on the Gigabyte motherboard's "hardware" raid. Ubuntu sees the disks as seperate. I installed dmraid. dmraid -s shows one active set. http://pastebin.com/m48916dc4 but its not working correctly, any idea?? [01:16] Is there a way to receive a fuppes stream to a computer, not a 360 or PS3, but say, vlc? [01:16] anyone know Jason Hohman from pdx? [01:16] i need help installing ubuntu when it sees my partitions as unallocated space [01:17] Samus_Aran: I find the problem with trying all possible alternatives to something a bit tricky. Most of times the best features an application takes some time to get used to. "Zapping" through all doesn't give enough time evaluate them decently [01:17] 0966 packaging isn't hard per-se but it is confusing and complex and takes time to learn...

[01:18] Also, as you can see I clearly redirect stderr and stdout and it ignores that [01:18] Its not hard and its not complex, get what it requires, configure it the way you wan't, make it, test it, install it, hell deb it if you wan't [01:18] rrrmanio1: wubi is not really a good way to insall ubuntu.. and its far from 100% [01:18] rrrmanio1: that uses virtualbox, correct? [01:19] minimaxed: no, it doesn't use virtualbox [01:19] or does it use a special linux that can run in usermode? [01:19] i don't really want to "try out" linux [01:19] how do i open a .EEG file? [01:19] !wubi > minimaxed [01:19] minimaxed, please see my private message [01:20] RifleEyes: it is possible that ubuntu can't identify the filesystems because there are errors in them.. or they are set in a non standard way..

[01:22] IndyGunFreak i havent actually used my brothers computer so i dont know [01:22] djhash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40804/ [01:23] php6th, devede is quite easy to use [01:23] rrrmanio1: it works for some, not for others.. [01:23] IndyGunFreak: I checked it out, it doesn't really explain /how/ it goes about running Ubuntu as an application [01:23] RifleEyes: clearly fdisk is identifying the partitions.. [01:23] my bro was using vista home premium with sp1 [01:24] minimaxed: f i recall correctly [01:24] djhash: i know. the ubuntu installer and partition editor don't see them though. [01:24] you install Ubuntu inside of windows(you give it say, 20gigs, and it creates a 20gig folder for Ubuntu.. just as an example).. then it creates a windows boot loader(note, not grub).. and it lets you choose ubuntu from there(if my understanding of it is correct, i've not used it) [01:24] rrrmanio1: "Windows has nothing on it" means that in comparison to Windows, ICEMW is godly. Just because it happens to have a taskbar at the bottom in the default configuration doesn't make it "like Windows" [01:25] RifleEyes: does it even show different partitions or a single unallocated partition? [01:25] IndyGunFreak: oh, I guess it does modify the boot loader [01:25] Hey, Im looking to create an encrypted file server using ubuntu. What would the best way of doing it be ? [01:25] Hey everyone, I seem to be having a bit of a problem. My memory usage is bizarrely high, and I've already checked all running processes. Nothing could possibly be using this much memory. [01:25] I followed a tutorial to convert .daa to .iso and then mount it (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmount-isomdfnrg-images-using-acetoneiso-gui-tool.html). But now when I mount an ISO, I'm unable to do anything with it because I don't "have permission." Even trying to cd or ls the mounted directory gives this error. Any ideas? [01:25] minimaxed: ys.. it does(again, to my knowledge... never used it) [01:25] djhash: it shows almost the entire contents (approx 230gb) of my harddrive as unallocated and nothing else. [01:25] how do i open a .EEG file? [01:26] IndyGunFreak ithink i just makes it easier (or tries to) to dual boot [01:26] Kharnov, are running any windows apps? [01:26] rrrmanio1: thats the goal.... [01:26] bofh80, no. [01:26] rrrmanio1: also makes it easier to remove if you decide you don't want it. [01:26] Jakob_the_liar: check it with 'file' chances are you can't [01:26] Jakob_the_liar, I'm not familiar with that filetype, what does typing file .eeg say about it? [01:26] SR000001.EEG: data [01:26] Kharnov, if you bring up system monitor, and check the virtual memory colum . . . do you see anything? [01:27] rrrmanio1: every aspect of ICEWM is configurable, you can do everything without the mouse, including some neat things like spatial window placement. fullscreen any app, turn any app into an icon [system tray], extremely fast, full control over window properties, etc. [01:27] RifleEyes: what are your other OSs and partitions? [01:27] Jakob_the_liar: is it actual EEG data, or how did you get it? [01:27] its on disc [01:27] bofh80, I don't see a virtual memory column. [01:27] SR000001.EEG: data [01:27] rrrmanio1: I can't stand using Gnome, it always has windows that you can't resize, can't move, can't close, don't appear in the taskbar, etc. ICEWM gives you full control over everything that's running [01:27] well i copied it to my /home [01:28] Kharnov, goto Edit > Preferences in the system monitor [01:28] amus_Aran i might try what you suggest seem as how i an havibg trouble with 5.10 [01:28] Kharnov, and the little list in the bottom of the box, you can put a check box in virtual memory [01:28] Jakob_the_liar: "SleepScan and Ceegraph EEG Data" according to filext.com [01:29] Where do terminal applications reside? [01:29] djhash: i have XP and Vista, there is an extended partition that came with the drive and houses another NTFS partition, next to that inside the extended partition is a logical for linux and the swap, as well as FAT32 for common data. anything else must house the "recovery partition" [01:30] jimmio: binaries are at /bin/ or /sbin/ [01:30] jimmio, type which to see where it lives [01:30] bofh80, Okay, I enabled it. A lot is being used by Epiphany, but I already cleared the cache for it. [01:31] need help with error message [01:31] Kharnov, does it appear to be the culprit? ie the exessive use you mentioned? [01:32] bofh80, Yeah. Nearly 200 MB being used up. [01:32] any1 no an app that can turn a cd into an iso? [01:32] s3a: dd === ksatria-yakuza is now known as co [01:32] s3a: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=some.iso [01:32] Kharnov, do you have many web pages open in it? [01:33] s3a: alternatively there is dd_rescue, in package dd-rescue I think [01:33] bofh80, No. Only one page running, and I cleared the cache. [01:33] anto9us: a better command to use than "which" is the Bash built-in "type" [01:33] RifleEyes: did you create those partition? or was it like that when you got the computer? [01:33] anto9us: it gives more valuable information than which does [01:33] i586-mingw-msvc-gcc is what I'm trying to find... it's not in bin or sbin... [01:33] Samus_Aran, noted, thanks [01:33] Anybody know how to mount *.mdf ? [01:33] Kharnov, if you change that to a simple page like www.google.com does the memory amount remain that high? [01:33] djhash: it came with a vista partition, a "Lenovo" partition (which is inside the extended partition), and possibly one other partition [01:33] anto9us: more valuable because it can identify aliases, functions and system commands [01:33] I've copied an executable to /usr/bin/ using sudo... but when I try to run it, it says permission denied. How do I fix this? [01:33] ...it's poweriso, by the way. [01:34] Stargazer: use mdf2iso [01:34] bofh80, Yes. Only lowers by about 20 MB, but still high. [01:34] jimmio: you tried "whereis i586-mingw-msvc-gcc" === ksatria-yakuza is now known as co [01:34] minimaxed, wat part of that command do i edit? just the some part? [01:34] Reformer81: I believe you have to make it executable [01:35] Kharnov, do you like ephinany that much? don't want to use firefox or opera ? [01:35] carandraug: It was executable before I copied it. Would it have lost that after copying it? [01:35] RifleEyes: what laptop do you have? [01:35] djhash: lenovo ideapad y510 [01:35] bofh80, I'm on Epiphany because I'm trying to reduce my memory usage, but for some reason it's actually using more. What the heck. [01:35] carandraug: Nevermind... yes, it did :) Thank you. [01:35] Kharnov, ah i see, i read something somewhere i can't remmeber . lemmie seee . . . [01:36] Thanks minimaxed :) [01:36] carandraug: Thanks! Found it. /usr/bin... and I only got 15 errors compiling for Winblows.... AHEM, excuse me, Windows. [01:36] s3a: just the of=???.iso, unless it's on a machine with more than one cdrom drive [01:36] Reformer81: ok. Glad it's fine now [01:36] jimmio: no problem [01:36] s3a: what are you trying to copy? [01:37] hi, i am having problems getting php to work [01:37] i have installed apache2, mysql, php [01:37] RifleEyes: did you create the linux partitions or was it there from before? [01:37] including the prefork, php-gd / mysql modules [01:37] thanks! [01:38] i've changed the permissions on var/www to www-data [01:38] djhash: i created them, of course. [01:38] and when i put a php file in there it tries to download a phtml file [01:38] tominglis: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [01:38] i''ve tried reinstalling php and i have restarted apache several times [01:38] !lamp > tominglis [01:38] tominglis, please see my private message [01:38] bofh80, I tried using Opera a few times but got annoyed because I was so used to Firefox, which I've been using for years now. Epiphany was similar enough, so I tried it out. Any other good pseudo-Firefoxes? [01:38] RifleEyes: ok.. you might need to try running windows checkdisk to check the partition tables.. [01:38] tominglis: make sure you are sending the right content type [01:38] tominglis: follow the troubleshooting steps on the wiki page ubottu has just linked you to [01:39] djhash: it only sees some of them, like, not the linux ones [01:39] tominglis: check if it does the same if the extension is just .php as well [01:39] hey, what happend to the "blue remote"-plugin for rhythmbox? [01:39] jrib: the extension is just php [01:39] tominglis: k then just follow the wiki then [01:39] hmmm [01:39] can anybody help me with an error message [01:40] how do I turn off compiz in hardy? [01:40] jrib: i am trying to install drupal [01:40] !ask | bubbles123 [01:40] bubbles123: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:40] I'm getting a grub error 17 after install, could that be a jumper setting issue? [01:40] Kharnov: well, there's Mozilla Navigator [01:40] i have problems with the live disc install (only got a 800*600 rez in live, but my keyboard wont work in the alternate (usb with no adapter) is there a way to install with terminal in the live disc? [01:40] minimaxed, What's it like? [01:41] Wow.. why have they made it so hard to install flash? [01:41] Kharnov: or Seamonkey now [01:41] minimaxed, Are either available in .deb packages, or will I have to compile? Compiling is a royal pain. [01:41] ericboehs: you mean visiting a page that requires flash and clicking on the yellow bar? [01:41] SlimeyPete: that's funny. Usually people struggle to make it work, not to stop it. I think System > Preferences > Appearance > set effects to none maybe [01:41] I am having trouble mounting an ISO image. It seems to mount just fine, but when I try to access it, I get a "Permission Denied" error! [01:42] Kharnov: seamonkey should be. I'd be surprised if it wasn't in APT [01:42] Kharnov: and yes, compiling Mozilla is a real PITA [01:42] jrib: Yeah it fails [01:42] carandraug: it works fine but I don't really like it [01:42] ericboehs: make sure you've enabled the -security and -updates repositories [01:42] RifleEyes: your best bet is to use testdisk but unfortunately you need to know precisely how to use it.. the info from fdisk is helpful though. There might be someone here to guide you through using testdisk to fix the partition tables.. [01:43] SlimeyPete: then just uninstall it. You'll end up with metacity [01:43] carandraug: for a start, it interferes with a lot of games ;) [01:43] actually what you said worked [01:43] no [01:43] so I'll stick with that for now thanks [01:43] jrib: where?" [01:43] unop: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/rt2570/ will this work for me it says source [01:44] unop: if you dont know i will install ubuntu in vmware and test i need it for tomorrow [01:44] nobody has any idea how to control rhythmbox (or maybe other gnome apps like pulseaudio or so) via a mobile phone? [01:44] DrHalan: ssh j [01:44] (using bluetooth ofc) [01:44] -j [01:44] minimaxed, How's Kazehakase now? Last time I used it, it kinda sucked, by that was a while ago. [01:44] i need some help.... my computer does not get on the net (i am on my pc box) i wanted to setup my ubuntu machine as a bot machine but it wont get online... i try by going into the network settings, but the drop down menu for the ethernet card if black :< [01:44] SlimeyPete: but what I said only disabled. You can just get rid of it and get some disk space. For games I usually just temporarily switch to metacity with "metacity --replace" and then go back to compiz with "compiz --replace" [01:44] DrHalan: what phone [01:45] ericboehs: system -> administration -> software sources [01:45] djhash: thanks [01:45] goodnight [01:45] Kharnov: oh, I've tried that. really seems no different than firefox [01:45] RifleEyes: alteast you can go through the Analysis portion of the testdisk on your own and see if it tells you that it finds any errors. [01:45] jrib: Yeah firefox never askes to install flash [01:45] richiefrich: sony erricson w850i (there was a plugin for rhythmbox called "blue remote" but it seems to be gone) [01:45] ericboehs: that's not what you implied before. You need to be specific. Otherwise, it is hard to help you [01:45] minimaxed, Neat, I'll try it. Oh, and Galeon's dead now, right? [01:46] i need some help while trying to install java i get the following message: dpkg --configure --a. I tried that and nothing worked === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [01:46] bubbles123: sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:46] Hello, everyone; I need some help. I upgraded to 19.41 this evening and my wireless Internet on my laptop no longer works. Does anyone know how to fix this? [01:46] DrHalan, you need to install the hid file to your phone I believe [01:46] jrib: i've read the lamp faq, and have tried loading a2enmod php5 manually, and then restarted apache and cleared firefox's cache, but i still can't get it to parse the php? [01:47] Kharnov: Galeon? That's -ever- been alive? [01:47] tominglis: and you checked that those files it mentions exist? [01:47] DrHalan: i know you can do it in lirc if you have ir [01:47] minimaxed, A -while- ago, when I last used it. :P [01:47] jrib i tried that and i still get the error message [01:47] bubbles123: pastebin [01:47] DrHalan: bluetooth i am not sure i know there were plugins for like XMMS and what not [01:48] DrHalan: i like ssh and IR [01:48] jrib pastebin?

[01:50] Firefox is not displaying webpage fonts correctly in Ubuntu 8.04 [01:50] ericboehs: after you enable those repositories, try: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [01:50] ajassat: then change the font [01:50] Greetings everyone [01:51] Is it possible to email an attachment via SMTP through a bash script?

[01:51] ajassat: not truw [01:51] if you do it from the config [01:51] or change it so CSS cant change it [01:51] richiefrich: thanks for the advidse but i already did that. i hoped to find someone who could help me here but i may better look into a gnome oriented channel [01:51] DrHalan: yeah sorry [01:51] pxwebdev, yes, you need to install an email server though [01:51] are the proper fonts installed into X, or does firefox not use X fonts? [01:52] !postfix | pxwebdev [01:52] pxwebdev: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [01:52] minimaxed: it uses X fonts [01:52] richiefred: How do you change it from the config?

[01:52] jrib: ooh the bot [01:52] can someone point me in the direction to doing that, I have googled it but all say to use sendmail [01:53] pxwebdev: postfix [01:53] is way better [01:53] pxwebdev, I'd do it this way myself, far less complicated [01:53] Hi there. I'm using the proprietary Flash plugin for Firefox, and when I try to visit the Homestar Runner website Firefox crashes, and it has a tendency to cause other Flash websites to start crashing. I collected a crash log; is there a known fix? [01:53] ok so say I setup post fix, then what? [01:53] pxwebdev: then install procmail to filter [01:53] and sort [01:54] then use like mutt or squirrelmail [01:54] jrib: yes the files are there [01:54] or pine [01:54] richiefred: Which preference name in about:config [01:54] ? [01:54] it sounds so complicated. [01:54] pxwebdev: it isnt hard [01:54] ok, well then [01:54] gives me ideas [01:54] ajassat: that idk i know if you search for fonts or even in the fonts config there is an override button [01:55] ajassat: i have it in opera and they arent much different but opera is faster [01:55] so would you install postfix as internet site or as a satellite system? === Kernel is now known as Wicked [01:55] pxwebdev, internet [01:55] pxwebdev: if you follow something like http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PostFix_Howto [01:56] pxwebdev: and just use apt-get install .. instead of pacman -S [01:56] µÍµ÷µÄÆ®¹ý¡£¡£ [01:56] you will be ok [01:56] Still doesn't do it like on Firefox in Windows [01:56] !!!!!!!!!!!

[02:22] tvtime is the best in my opinion [02:22] I have tried about 5 different custom xorg.conf files [02:22] _Zeus_: i get "unsupported SysV option" [02:22] ajassat: it is binary only [02:22] <_Zeus_> squarebracket: hmm try skipping the WW [02:22] !opera | ajassat [02:22] ajassat: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.

[02:24] <_Zeus_> egc: that's an upgradeable package [02:24] bdubnc, have you tried specifying the refresh rate? [02:24] is k3b in the apps? [02:24] Good evening, I m running into a few issues getting ndiswrapper working on one of my PC's. The driver for the usb wireless adaptor is installed, I see settings for a wlan0 under ifconfig, however if I try and logon to the network, nothing happens (I assume my PC times out waiting for a responce) To make matters stranger I am log'd onto the network from a different PC( hence how I am able to be here). [02:24] _Zeus_: correct [02:24] Minimaxed: text-mode isn'tYes, I have [02:24] or how to solve it with gatos drive... ??? [02:24] <_Zeus_> squarebracket: what's the exact problem [02:24] droopsta915: it is but the command line is way faster [02:25] _Zeus_: as in a package I have installed, but is not at the latest version? [02:25] man this place is a disaster [02:25] droopsta915: no, but it's easy to install: open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install k3b [02:25] damn, PrivateVoid: yes I have [02:25] sorry [02:25] droopsta915: once it's there, it'll be in the menu [02:25] <_Zeus_> egc: yes [02:25] bdubnc, I am at a loss then mate... sorry [02:25] <_Zeus_> !language|bdubnc [02:25] bdubnc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:25] _Zeus_: i can't connect to the ftp server that's set up. it was working for a while, now it's not. it doesn't even seem to be able to run the proftpd process. [02:25] <_Zeus_> squarebracket: have you rebooted? [02:25] That's why I said sorry [02:25] _Zeus_: ok, so i'm seeing this on packages i shouldnt have installed...i.e. all of them [02:26] _Zeus_: yes. a few times. [02:26] <_Zeus_> egc: just remove em all then [02:26] please, some know about tvtime YUY2 overlay support error??? [02:26] <_Zeus_> bdubnc: sorry didn't notice that [02:26] Can someone help me on monitor sleep? [02:26] _Zeus_: ok, thanks for the help [02:26] bdubnc: I've never ever had X fail completely. Is it just impossible for you to get a particular resolution? [02:26] hrast: what's the problem? [02:26] Anyone ever installed mysql under ubuntu ? [02:26] <_Zeus_> egc: sure [02:26] thanks, k3b is installing. [02:26] Gnea: Hi, after enter sleep mode, it does not return.. [02:26] Nope, the most I can set the LCD is to 800x600 [02:27] chris127: yes. [02:27] hrast: laptop or desktop? [02:27] I must logoff wiht cntr, alt, back [02:27] ive had x fail a lot.. especially when you run one of these "updates" and it oses your friggin drivers and leaves you with the error "NO SCREENS FOUND" [02:27] hrast: no you dont have too [02:27] Gnea, i use apt-get (which is kind of like yum) but it set it up and i do not see a mysql database with a table 'users' [02:27] droopsta915: you need to install another packaage to burn mp3s in k3b [02:27] laptop Hp Dv 6451, with Nvidia driver [02:27] hrast: how did you login [02:27] hrast: windows login manager or startx [02:27] Gnea, now i can log in, but i cant create table, etc. [02:27] viporx: is that in the apps? [02:28] sounds very much like the monitor itself doesn't support more, or supports only a weird resolution you haven't found [02:28] Yeah, I know it's not the ATI drivers it's the LCD. [02:28] windows.. [02:28] chris127: did you login as root? [02:28] chris127: sudo apt-get install mysql-server [02:28] Anyone got AC97 on a via mobo to work in Hardy? I have no sound after a fresh install. [02:28] i did that [02:28] have mysql server [02:28] did you make a user chris127 [02:28] runs fine for the tables it came with [02:28] id ont have reload permissions or i would [02:28] chris127: oh i'm quite familiar with apt :) you should check out /usr/share/doc/mysql-common/README.Debian it will give you a quickstart on what to do to get it setup with passwords 'n stuff [02:28] see, after 3 minuts, the monitor enters into sleep mode.. and it does not return [02:28] or you don't have the proper resolution lines in your xorg.conf [02:28] chris127: I would recommend something like phpmyadmin for interfacing with it [02:28] id ont = i dont [02:28] droopsta915,: yes, its libk3b2-extracodecs [02:29] firefly2442, i am very good with mysql usually [02:29] _Zeus_: actually, i see elsewhere that packages with the yellow star are new-available packages [02:29] i've just never seen it packaged like this [02:29] chris127: if that doesn't work, try a lamp install like xampp [02:29] someone here know about tvtime???? [02:29] thanks [02:29] s/new/newly [02:29] <_Zeus_> egc: really? i was under the impression that the * was upgradeable [02:29] sander: broken for you too? [02:29] apt-get mysql-server should work [02:29] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=237552 [02:29] chris127: did you select a database? [02:29] chris127: what doesn't work exactly? just the login? yeah I would just install via the deb package [02:30] _Zeus_: just from above link [02:30] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [02:30] minimaxed: im having the YUY2 overlay support error [02:30] chris127: i would use postgresql [02:30] now i can log in using my system account [02:30] richiefrich, that isn't an option [02:30] chris127: it is more standard complient [02:30] <_Zeus_> egc: i realize that the ubuntu logo means that. I'm pretty sure you mentioned a "*" [02:30] minimaxed: the tvtime appear and instantly close [02:30] chris127: why not ? [02:30] chris127: well, that's probably why, you're not specifying a password [02:30] <_Zeus_> not an ubuntu logo [02:30] minimaxed: needing the gatos drive... did you know about? [02:30] salut [02:30] chris127: check that README file, it'll tell you everything you need to know [02:30] Hi, I have a question about mounting if someone is able to help me. [02:30] Gnea, path? [02:31] NOTHING is the same, lol [02:31] chris127: /usr/share/doc/mysql-common/README.Debian [02:31] chris127: whats not an option [02:31] there is no /etc/httpd ? [02:31] hm [02:31] !mysql | chris127 [02:31] chris127: 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+) [02:31] _Zeus_: yes, i mentioned a star...lower in forum it says "Packages with a yellow star are newly-available packages." [02:31] chris127: that's a good resource, too [02:31] <_Zeus_> egc: ah [02:31] sander: http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ [02:31] Gnea, that's what I read to do it. [02:31] _Zeus_: thanks anyways [02:31] Is anyone able to help with automounting a driver? [02:31] Gnea, that is HOW i have it even installed was i followed that [02:31] frensh [02:31] drive* [02:31] ?? [02:32] minimaxed: i already have then installed in my ubuntu, but tvtime still not working [02:32] chris127: oh ok :) [02:32] chris127: when you installed mysql you should've created a password.. did you? [02:32] minimaxed: did you know how to use the gatos driver? [02:32] sander: use lsmod to make sure you really have it loaded [02:32] Has anyone got AC97 audio to work in Hardy Heron? I have no sound after a fresh installation. [02:32] minimaxed: how can i load this? [02:33] catpys, do you have alsa installed [02:33] chris127: if you set a password, mysql -p should at least prompt you for it if you didn't get it placed into ~/.my.cnf [02:33] chris127: when installing mysql in ubuntu, the system should have came up with a screen after apt-get was completed saying you needed to run mysqladmin [02:33] sander: do you know what card you use? [02:33] sander: if it is a module you can -> sudo modprobe FOO [02:33] Isn't ALSA installed by default with a clean Hadry install? [02:33] ahh, i should have read over the section: "Set mysql root password" [02:33] catpys, yes [02:33] catpys: yup [02:33] chris127: heh [02:34] minimaxed: yes, it is a saa7133 and my vga is a ati radeon x1650 [02:34] chris127: see, it's good to ignore us now and then ;) [02:34] bdubnc, i didn't have access to run it [02:34] catpys, if you go to System > Preferences > Sound , Under the Device tab, is everything in Alsa .. it should be, instead of auto [02:34] I'm thinking it's not supported by the kernel, which leaves me up a creek, unless there is a bug fix coming? [02:34] Gnea, thanks for link [02:34] chris127: cheers [02:34] richiefrich: did you know how to load a module of gatos driver or enable this ?? [02:34] Gnea, i didn't know that LAMP accronym either [02:34] sander: modprobe [02:35] Okay so, I've got all my music on my windows drive, so I linked amarok to the correct folders, however, everytime I reboot, the drive automatically unmounts and amarok looses it's scanned database items. How do I keep my windows drive mounted? [02:35] richiefrich: i have installed with sudo apt-get install gatos but i dont know how to use this or enable [02:35] exino [02:35] richiefrich: modprobe for what? [02:35] hello [02:35] I just tried it kat, still no sound when it tested the pipeline. [02:35] sander: sudo modprope -l | grep gatos [02:35] chris127: it's been around for the better part of this decade - most open source dynamic websites use that model, although postgresql is starting to gain a better foothold since Sun is throwing mysql under the bus [02:35] whats that say [02:35] sander: ? [02:36] sander: modprobe loads your module [02:36] hmm ok [02:36] richiefrich: dont find anything man [02:36] I love all of you [02:36] sander: then use dep to find what it installed [02:36] mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('X4F.fS5zFq'); [02:36] ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql' [02:36] chris127: mysql-server isn't the only thing you must install when setting up a MySQL db server.

[02:56] do random stuff till you get it right [02:56] shadowbane: use a router [02:56] francois: okay, then you need to follow the directions on getting the smb_credentials setup [02:56] rrrmaniol: Last time I tried that with mounting I ended up corrupting my bootloader somehow. [02:56] is there a way to make a .exe file into a .img file [02:56] ok, ill try that out [02:57] <_Zeus_> H0T_R0D: what is a .img file> [02:57] can you ping your router [02:57] shadowbane crosssover cable [02:57] bootable floppy [02:57] i have a crossover cable [02:57] use a router! [02:57] can you ping your router? [02:57] <_Zeus_> H0T_R0D: i don't think you can do that. you need a special setup to make something bootable [02:57] softmodding is easy! [02:57] Gnea: Okay, will try that. Also //server/sharename do I leave those as is? If not how do I determine what to put for each? [02:57] xbox sorry [02:58] ?? [02:58] k one sec [02:58] francois: well whatever your remote system is called in windows networking lingo is what //server is [02:58] is there a way to use .mp3 files instead of .wav files for your log in sound? [02:58] rancois yeh well when i tried doing random stuff i ended up spending 3 days only to find out i had done it right in the first place [02:58] francois: just replace //server/sharename with your real values [02:58] note to self::::no fart with head under covers [02:59] scifiguy951, I should hope so, using lamer windows formats sucks. [02:59] 100% packet loss from the ping. [02:59] majnoon: please take such discussion elsewhere. [02:59] yeah [02:59] is there a way to use .mp3 files instead of .wav files for your log in sound? [02:59] Gnea: I'm a bit of a beginner, is there a way to figure this out? [02:59] on ubuntu [02:59] ?? [02:59] Is there a channel operator here? [03:00] Gnea: that page that you send is not about capture card [03:00] Gnea: Off the top of my head I don't know what it is. You mean like, /dev/hda? [03:00] Floodbot = Channel Operator. [03:00] crazyguy.. i mean majnoon: lets keep thins on-topic here :-) [03:00] Orbixx: try looking in #ubuntu-ops [03:00] Orbixx, yes, they are usually AFK tho [03:00] Gnea: its about fglrx driver [03:00] sander: right, which is what is controlling anything overlay-related [03:00] good way to reset mysql pass: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix [03:01] ahh its 3 am [03:01] Gnea: my fglrx its ok, the problem here is only the tvtime with this YUY2 problem :( [03:01] (3 01 am) [03:01] hello how to open .rar (desktop 8 ubuntu) [03:01] sander: right, YUY2 is due to overlay...

[03:04] they are scammers [03:04] <_Zeus_> Mel: yeah i don't think they will help you with that [03:04] francois: if you only have a single computer, how do you intend to mount a samba share?

Okay will check that out, thank you very much Gnea and ubottu. [03:07] _Zeus_: you okay there? :) [03:08] <_Zeus_> Gnea: yeah [03:08] I've got an ATI TV Wonder that used to work fine with tvtime, but now that I've upgraded to Hardy tvtime just hangs my box.. like hangs it hard, I can't even find errors in the system log from it. Anyone else run into this or know how I might try to fix it? [03:08] thank youu [03:08] woot [03:08] server is runnin [03:08] chris127: rock on [03:08] Howdy - if I want to switch from GG 64-bit to Hardy or II 32-bit, is it going to be any more crazy than switching my sources.list around and running a dist-upgrade? [03:09] thank you Gnea it works! [03:09] Hello, I'm running into some issues with my wireless not working with a wep (yes I know) key-as in there is no response I can see from the router. So,,,anyone good with troubleshooting ndiswrapper out there? [03:09] Gnea: Okay, this seems to be working =]. Also, if you have any ideas as to why my log out button seems to hang with just the desktop showing and not logging out, that'd be great. I've been googling if for a while now. [03:09] so... how do i get vim to be the same as my slackbox ? [03:10] like, how can i do terminal colors, etc. [03:10] francois: no idea.. seen it happen sometimes when there were a lot of processes running.. i usually just wait awhile and it will finish up and logout [03:10] Hi. I'm going to be making a computer to send to family in another country. They have no idea how to use a computer so in case the system breaks I want to make a backup cd that they can just pop in and it will format the hdd, and copy all files back (including OS). So basically, after I set it up I'll make an ISO of the whole HDD with the programs they need, and so I need a script that will... [03:10] ...format the first HDD and copy the iso to the hdd. Is this possible. [03:10] chris127: edit your .bashrc, and in vim... :syntax enable [03:11] Gnea: Yeah, I've been leaving if for about 5 minutes. Might be a little impatient on my part :S. I'll see if it finishes up next time. Anyways, thanks again, finally got this sucker working >:D [03:11] also :colorscheme [03:11] tico_: yeah, you should be able to hack together a special disk based on clonezilla - www.clonezilla.org [03:11] sudo do-release-upgrade -d Midtronic [03:12] favro after changing sources.list? [03:12] francois: lol, good luck :) [03:12] Hey people. I own a copy of Xplane but I don't have an internal dvd drive on my laptop. So whenever I want to play xplane, I need to connect an external dvd drive just to start the damn game! It checks for the dvd to run. So I thought of just mounting an ISO file with loopback to get around this. No go. Xplane seems to not notice that. So what can I do now? I want to be able to play xplane without using that damn drive. [03:12] Midtronic: shouldn't have to - check in #ubuntu+1 [03:12] loquitus_of_bor1: please watch your language. [03:12] thanks [03:12] Gnea: Thank you for that. If the backup cd doesnt fit on on DVD, will it work with two? [03:13] tico_: i have NFC, I've never actually set it up like that [03:13] (that's No frakking clue) [03:13] Need For Ceed [03:13] This is weird [03:14] :) [03:14] both toolbars are freezing [03:14] favro: after consulting the topic of #ubuntu+1, I think I'm going to stick with HH [03:14] what do i do? [03:14] loquitus_of_bor1: It's called a no-cd crack.... and may be illegal where you are. It involves replacing the main executable of the program with a patched executable that doesn't attempt to check for the disc-protection... [03:14] using gnome / ubuntu (full updated) [03:14] Midtronic: HH is very nice. [03:14] chris127: toolbars? you mean on top/bottom of the screen? [03:14] nvm, it was lagging out trying to connect to my samba share, day [03:14] Gnea, yeah [03:14] Gnea: insofar as it won't wreck my existing 64-bit install? [03:14] chris127: ah [03:15] i rather like ubuntu, its like debian and kinda like slackware too [03:15] Midtronic: i don't understand what you mean... what 64-bit install? [03:15] loquitus_of_bor1: acetoneiso can create a fake drive. maybe it would work [03:15] trying to reconfigure an nvidia card using nvidia-glx-new with a new viewsonic monitor that uses 1680x1050 resolution... everytime i dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it gives only options to set the keyboard, not any display settings. tried a modeline generated using gtf, that didn't work. Tried nvidia-settings, cant click anything because im in 640x480 resolution. Any ideas? [03:15] jimmio: I don't really care about the legality. I just want to be able to play the game I payed for without lugging around an external drive, which is utterly moronic [03:15] Gnea: I want to upgrade from GG 64-bit to HH 32-bit [03:16] is a file descriptor part of a program or part of an os? [03:16] chris127: lol, i've yet to see a similarity between ubuntu and slackware [03:16] RAdams: lol, I'm in similar xorg.conf hell... -sigh- [03:16] Midtronic: oh - not possible, you can only go from 32-32 or 64-64 [03:16] gotcha [03:16] Midtronic: otherwise you have to reinstall [03:16] loquitus_of_bor1: Since it's of questionable legality, I will not and can not discuss it here. Google is your friend. [03:17] ThersiT: usually the OS [03:17] okay, i got colors using ls/grep/etc [03:17] jimmio: how can you say it is of questionable legality when you don't know where I am? [03:17] is there any way i can look at it? [03:17] chris127: ccze rocks too [03:17] Gnea: whats NFC? [03:17] yeah [03:17] tico_: No Frakking Clue :) [03:18] hello [03:18] now how do i make this bg black so i can get irssi going [03:18] Gnea: lol [03:18] loquitus_of_bor1: For others reading this... they're all over... and I couldn't help, as I don't use them. [03:18] Gnea: that makes two of us [03:18] I think I am getting [03:19] rsi [03:19] so anyone know how to change bgcolor of terminal window to black? [03:19] chris127: depends on what terminal emulator you're using [03:19] i luv in gnome how u can zoom out on the terminal screen [03:19] xterm? Eterm? [03:19] how do i tell Midtronic ? [03:20] are you in gnome? [03:20] tico_: well, i'm not sure if i'd use a DVD for the backup - a friend of mine had a dell awhile back - they had shipped it with a special partition on the hard drive that allowed him to do a full restore - basically, they had thrown norton ghost on there with an image of the OS on there - in a matter of less than 5 minutes, the system could be restored to the exact way that it was at when he bought it. [03:20] "terminal" under accessories (gnome) [03:20] yeah [03:20] Can someone help me when you get the chance... [03:20] i can wait :P [03:20] Is anyone able to tell me if this command is safe to perform on my ubuntu 8.04 installation. "sudo update- rc.d -f atieventsd remove" It removes the atieventsd whatever that is. However will this make my system unfunctional or what? [03:20] question... i have a bunch of .avi files i need to put on a cd/dvd, 3 or 4 at a time, so that they are playable in a dvd player.... [03:20] I think it's in profiles. don't quote me on that [03:20] what should i use? [03:20] i like gnome terminal cause of ctrl+shft+v [03:20] Midtronic, nope, no profiles [03:20] Midtronic, i've seen profiles on fedora box [03:20] I'm pretty unfamiliar with that one [03:20] grndslm: k3b [03:20] Gnea: o really? [03:21] grndslm: yeah - just create a new dvd project, drag your files to the area, click burn, voila! [03:21] hello. I've been having an issue attempting to install ubuntu off the cd. No matter what i've tried i always get this error. rcS main process killed by segv system. I found this on the forum and for that person burning it to a cd not a dvd fixed thier issue. I've burned this to two cds and two dvds all 4 do the exactly the same thing. I've also looked up some boot parameters and none really seem to help me much at all. I'd [03:21] Gnea: not all standalone dvd players suppor .avi files, tho [03:21] get new cd [03:21] thedlw: Have you run an md5 check on the iso? [03:22] yes [03:22] its fine. [03:22] grndslm: You could try using devede [03:22] thedlw: Burned at the slowest speed? [03:22] grndslm: avidemux can prepare them properly [03:22] yes. i'm going to do another md5 check. warriorforgod i've also used 2 different burners and 2 differnet burning programs. [03:22] thedlw: Wow, only other thing I could suggest is download from a different server. [03:23] thedlw, maybe you could try the alternate cd with the text based installer? === hkl is now known as GardenGN0ME [03:23] bofh80: i've thought about doing that next [03:23] I'm getting an error saying "file descriptor line 2: Each service section must define exactly two endpoints" anyone know what that meens? [03:23] hi [03:23] bofh80: but i think its my stupid emachine i'm trying to put it on [03:23] not ubuntu [03:24] thedlw, what sort machine is it? [03:24] ... [03:24] what machine [03:24] soo... what type of video file would k3b have to burn in order to playback in standalone dvd players?? [03:25] thedlw, oops i missed the E there :) . ugh [03:25] mp4 or avi [03:25] yeah [03:25] it was 230 dollars on a black friday special [03:25] i think mp4 though [03:25] grndslm: you'd need to convert the files to a special mpeg first [03:25] Gnea: it sounds like a good idea, but they're completely new to computers and idk what they would do to that backup partition lol. I think this is a safer way. I'm just going to make a bootable linux cd that specific to their computer. [03:25] im not so sure about avi.. [03:25] lucky [03:25] Gnea: what kind of special mpeg? [03:25] thedlw, how long ago? you know fast it is, what graphics card it has?

Try ./jad [03:46] again [03:46] zelrikriando: it means do the first then when done do the second [03:46] favro, so it's about the same as ; [03:47] yep [03:47] zelrikriando: only do the second if the first succeds [03:47] cn28h: ./jad: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory .. whats happening now [03:47] export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/where your lib is [03:47] virtuald, which case you refer to?

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [03:50] Ububegin, the problem is it's linked to a shared library that you don't have. libstdc++, which you certainly have, but probably it's a different version. The best solution is to compile jad, whatever it is, on your local machine. If you can't do that, you may need to do some mucking with symlinks, or install the version it wants as well. [03:50] I'm getting out of Windows (just sick of it), but I've got to backup a ton of files to a new hard drive and I currently have no OS installed. Any recommendations on how best to do this?

I have little to no experience with wireless in Ubuntu, nor installing things except with sudo apt get, which I obviously can't use. [03:52] Ububegin, you can *probably* get away with making a sym link in /usr/lib [03:52] I installed ubuntu 8.04 with wubi and now cannot get Gnome to load. I login, the screen goes orange, and i hear the music - then i'm back at the login screen. [03:52] Is there someone I can message with my wireless problem? [03:52] Guitarrassdeamor, just ask in the channel [03:52] could anyone teach how to setup linux as router [03:53] please [03:53] Guitarrassdeamor> http://trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=195_TEW-423PI&cat=42 [03:53] Thats the wireless card I want to run with Hardy.

[03:53] I'm talking about 80GiB of files that I use all the time. Maybe "Backup" is the wrong word. These are working files that I want to copy and use [03:53] Guitarrassdeamor, check linuxwirless.org and find your device there [03:53] i have debian woody installed in my box, and i have broadband connection to access internet [03:53] !patience [03:53] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

(caps are neccesary) [03:54] corigo, do you have some large external storage, like an external hdd? [03:54] That is it I believe http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl8187. [03:55] i have read that linux can do router same thing as small appliance router like linksys or dlink [03:55] Guitarrassdeamor, good, now see what it says about support and how to set it up === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [03:55] hkl why didnt you install it through synaptic?

[03:56] Somethings wrong with Nautilus. I cannot get it to load. It aborts with error b68e. Any application that I am running will crash if I click file -> save.

[03:56] koshari: yes....? [03:57] Specifically, I have a file in audacity that needs to be saved, and I cannot save it because the program crashes upon attempt [03:57] Guitarrassdeamor, interesting. Guess that ones isn't complerted yet. Does it show when you run "ifconfig -a" ? [03:57] cn28h: hi dude, i got another version of it which was *statically linked*.. and somehow this one works... :D [03:57] Ububegin, yup, that would fix it also [03:57] cn28h- I am not quite sure actually. [03:57] Im in vista now, but to get to hardy i would have to reboot [03:58] Guitarrassdeamor, paste the output of ifconfig -a at http://rafb.net/paste === awflame08 is now known as awhiteflame [03:58] cn28h: mucho gracias , dude [03:58] Ububegin, np [03:58] j0Hn: don't be suprised if no one responds to you... when you ask a question of that magnitude, most people would tell you to read the manual, as would I [03:58] hkl if you install wine using synaptic you then jsut have to run winecfg after its installed [03:58] cn28h what happens when I past it there? === awhiteflame is now known as awflame08 [03:58] hmm... okay [03:59] Guitarrassdeamor, then we can look and see [03:59] Alright, that will make me reboot. [03:59] j0Hn, you need to be more specific.. are you trying to use a normal PC as a router, or are you using an embedded linux on a router box? [04:00] i'm using an ssh tunnel to access the internet, but i have to manually configure every application to use it. is there any way to configure ALL network traffic to go through the proxy? [04:00] anyone know how i can burn a cd directly from one cd to the other using k3b? [04:00] Quiescent: System > Preferences > Network Proxy [04:00] droopsta915, im on windows right now but there should be a copy option [04:01] Quiescent: that will cover most gnome aware applications [04:01] droopsta915, if you have two CD drives you can try using the raw device for one as an ISO image to burn on to the other (assuming it's a data CD) [04:01] hi, i have Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) but cannot enable desktop effect. any ideas? === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [04:01] shingen: will it also route DNS lookups? [04:01] I got what seemed to be a kernel update today but the kernel ID number (2.6.24-19) is the same as what I had installed. Any idea what this was all about? [04:01] thanks [04:02] Scunizi, perhaps a change in the ubuntu patchset only [04:02] cn28h: ah.. ok.. I was worried about having to recompile VMWare server.. thanks. [04:03] Scunizi: update was from linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic (2.6.24-19.36) to 2.6.24-19.41 [04:03] Scunizi, probably not, but it's easy if you do need to.. just run vmware-config.pl [04:03] wondering if there was a faq for NEW computer users that will help them get started. selling my old lappy with ubuntu installed (also has xp and vista install disks which make great coasters) [04:03] ApOgEE-: does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say yes? [04:03] yes, a normal pc as router, that has 2 nic [04:04] ogre: if you're selling it, wouldn't it be more appealing if you sold it with something that people know how to use already installed on it? [04:04] cn28h: yea.. I've had to do that in the past several times on different Ubuntu releases. It's a pain but not difficult. [04:04] Quiescent: good question, not sure... I know that if you do a nslookup from CLI, it will use whatever local network settings you have, because that network proxy setting is only for applications that are gnome aware. if you want a transparent proxy, look into iptables [04:04] some say, ipmasq, and do i do that [04:04] j0Hn, well yes, you can provide all the same services.. look up: routes, ipchains, dhcpd, named to start with [04:04] how can i make log ins ezer, like a remember me or just that it remembers administrator and i dont need to type it [04:05] crdlb, this is the output: apogee@apogee-persiasys:~$ glxinfo | grep direct [04:05] direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [04:05] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect [04:05] tsuna27, you can configure the GDM to autolog you in [04:05] shingen: i was hoping i wasn't going to have to dive that deep, but thanks. here i go to read up on iptables [04:05] j0Hn: not hard to do. if you install webmin, there is a 'Linux Firewall' module that will help you to configure iptables. Thats where I started... [04:05] Quiescent, its for my friends uncle. he has never used a computer before and I figure I'd start him off right before he got corrupted by an inferior OS [04:05] ApOgEE-: ok, that's a no :) Please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:05] webmin? [04:06] okay, i'll look webmin [04:06] j0Hn: yeah - www.webmin.com - its a web configuration GUI for most Linux distribs. it works in ubuntu. it won't solve all your problems, but the 'Linux Firewall' module can get you started [04:06] does anyone use Stardict? [04:06] hello assholes :) [04:07] I installed ubuntu 8.04 with wubi and now cannot get Gnome to load. I login, the screen goes orange, and i hear the music - then i'm back at the login screen. [04:07] hi toilet paper [04:07] okay, thanks Andy [04:07] Melancholia ive used it, why? [04:07] i don't recommend Wubi [04:07] unop: not auto i want to see the log in screen [04:07] at least for now [04:07] melancholia: wats wrong w/ wubi [04:08] tsuna27, i must have misunderstood your intentions then.

Are those both fine to paste for that code thing? [04:10] Guitarrassdeamor, sure [04:11] .lastlog scrote [04:11] Alright hold on.

[04:13] cn28h: what doesn't work on 'intel'? [04:13] ApOgEE-: bah, yes [04:13] ApOgEE-: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:14] crdlb, the hardware accel is much slower.. compiz barely runs with it for me [04:14] Guitarrassdeamor, ok, looks like it's not having a network device.. but I'm not familiar with this card.. let me see [04:15] Okay. [04:15] crdlb, what is the correct name for Identifier? [04:15] ApOgEE-: identifier doesn't matter [04:16] can someone help me please [04:16] i'm getting no sound from firefox [04:16] Guitarrassdeamor, good news is your chipset is supported. Try "sudo moprobe rtl8187" and then check ifconfig -a again [04:16] ApOgEE-: that's just use to match the Device section to a 'Device "foo"' section in the Screen section === dmsuperman is now known as AgtSmith [04:16] ApOgEE-: so it's fine as long as you don't change it :) [04:16] cn28h- Okay I will try that. What will it do? Note, I don't have NDISWrapper or anything installed. [04:17] francois, try installing flash player [04:17] crdlb, thanks [04:17] Guitarrassdeamor, yes we're using a native driver, which is a much better solution when available. This will try to lad the kernel module for your card [04:17] load [04:17] Okay. === AgtSmith is now known as dmsuperman [04:17] Then I shall reboot and try that, and after, reboot again and see if it picks up signlas cn28h? [04:18] Guitarrassdeamor, reboot? why? [04:18] Im not in Hardy [04:18] :S ok [04:18] IIm dual booting [04:18] crdlb, ok.. restarting x [04:18] Thats why I want to get it solved asap :( [04:18] well before you go then [04:18] you can use lsmod to see the modules that are loaded [04:18] lsmod | grep rt [04:18] that might help [04:18] oaky [04:18] Okay* [04:18] so how do i make it that i dont need to type in administrator every time i log in [04:19] type in administrator? [04:19] can anybody help me get a good shell account? [04:19] does anyone know why my computer browses a windows network extremly slow, sometimes locking up my computer?

I have an 80GiB drive that I need to copy all the files off of to my new 250GiB drive, so that I can format the 80GiB drive and install the OS on it. Unfortunately with the Live CD Ubuntu will not let me copy some of the files. Any suggestions? It tells me that the File Size is too big for the File Type. [04:21] my bad still new to linux [04:21] corigo: what's the filesystem on the 250gb drive? [04:22] I have formatted as a single primary partition in ext3 [04:22] so is there a site where i can get a good shell account, I've looked on the internet and i have found blinkshell and freebsd [04:23] i am trying to connect a bluetooth mouse and i installed the bluez packages in synaptic but i can't find any gui's for adding a device i tried adding the launcher to the top panel but i couldn't find any bluetoth tools i am using xubuntu is there a tool that is easy to use [04:23] snip3r, what do you need a shell account for? [04:23] The ThinkPad computer T42 has a test program called 'PC-Doctor for DOS'. You can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in PC-Doctor. Is there a similar Linux program available? [04:23] corigo: weird... i don't believe there's a limit on the rize of files on ext3 [04:23] ce_2008 [04:23] just want to get into hacking, the clean kind don't need to mess with anyone [04:23] leo_rockw, sure there is -- but it's some huge number [04:24] Does anyone know what user Network-Manager runs as? [04:24] One of the files is an .ISO and the other is my old PST Outlook file. Both are over 500MB. But both are fully functional. [04:24] i am trying to connect a bluetooth mouse and i installed the bluez packages in synaptic but i can't find any gui's for adding a device i tried adding the launcher to the top panel but i couldn't find any bluetoth tools i am using xubuntu is there a tool that is easy to use [04:24] snip3r thats such a vast thing to wanna learn [04:24] unop: well, yeah. i meant it's not something really low like 4gb on fat [04:24] you can really call anyone who knows more about a system than most people a hacke [04:24] !repeat | mguthriejr [04:24] mguthriejr: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [04:24] r [04:24] I could probably do without the ISO (though for legal reasons I'd rather not), but the PST is pretty important [04:25] leo_rockw, it's 2 TiB which isn't as much as i though it was [04:25] hiptobecubic^: NetworkManager runs as root and nm-applet runs as user [04:25] well i really don't knw where to start, so i thought id tackle it all at once and search the net for lessons [04:25] but honestly the best place to start snip3r is google [04:25] Hey i need Big Help. I give host hosting and i kinda messed up mysql server I tried to make the var area not access able to the FTP users and i kinda Messup Mysql So people cant access there databases or edit them How to i fix this without reinstalling MYsql [04:25] all i knw is that the first thing is to get a shell account [04:25] unop: still is a whole lot [04:25] hiptobecubic^: no, but if you ran ps aux | grep nm-applet you'd find out [04:25] snip3r are u using ubuntu [04:25] TornadoChas3r: change the permissions on var back to what they were? [04:26] zod21: yea ubuntu hardy [04:26] snip3r: go to console, that's just like a shell account [04:26] crdlb, so if i need nm-applet to run a script with root permissions, is there anything i can do? [04:26] cool well what are you trying to learn, and are you familiar with google search coding [04:26] zod21: do u mean the terminal? [04:26] therealnanotube: to what right now i have them site as root can read and right group root can read and write and other can acccess files [04:27] snip3r: yeah, the terminal [04:27] and Still no luck We can acccess the database but not edit ro add stuff [04:27] hiptobecubic^: how would nm-applet run a script? [04:27] So Forums blog ect dont wokr [04:27] so in ubuntu a shell account is unnecessary [04:28] sorry lots of typos lol [04:28] snip3r: not unnecessary, you can use it as test ground [04:28] TornadoChas3r: where is the db located? is it in /var? [04:28] snip3r: but it's not really necessary either [04:28] snip3r: some shell accounts provide hosting, which is cool [04:28] leo_rockw: i c [04:28] snip3r: you have a shell account, since it's local, it's also running x windows on top of it === eduardo is now known as teq [04:29] Yes Its in /var/lib/mysql [04:29] hi do any of you guys know a way to jailbreak iphone 3g with ubuntu?

[04:29] at least i think thats where its stored lol [04:29] snip3r sorry i had to do somethin on my other pc. in google you can narrow your searches using coding, like :inurl: [04:29] whatever [04:29] and then search [04:30] you can also use it to find things you arent supposed to find, if you see what i mean [04:30] TornadoChas3r: so, make /var/lib/mysql read/writeable by the mysql user. [04:30] hi do any of you guys know a way to jailbreak iphone 3g with ubuntu? Thanks!! [04:30] snip3r: you don't neccesarily need to move onto a shell account. you can just use your comp. if you don't use root/sudo then you can't really break the system [04:30] so google, google code, read up and search for the things you wanna learn and read read read [04:30] teq: offtopic question is offtopic [04:30] then hack hack hack [04:30] haha [04:30] snip3r: what are you trying to do? [04:30] snip3r: yeah, if you tell us what you want to learn we can give you a hand [04:31] therealnanotube: I will try it I hope it works or else I am screwd lol [04:31] TornadoChas3r: good luck :) [04:31] hello is 2mb good for single user who doing VOIP? thanks [04:31] just dont get overzelous or you will end up in jail like a dumbass friend of mine [04:31] if not i will be back lol [04:31] i apt-get install ntp, but icant figure out how to set the how often it checks [04:31] hello is 2mb speed of internet good for single user who doing VOIP? thanks [04:31] jigp: 2mb of what? you mean bandwidth? [04:31] well i really don't knw [04:31] !repeat > jigp [04:31] jigp, please see my private message [04:31] jigp: ah, ic. 2mb up or down? [04:32] corigo: is the original drive a windows drive? [04:32] snip3r: there are many terminal manuals out there [04:32] crdlb, when a device changes status networkmanager runs the scripts in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ [04:32] do i modify ntp.conf? i cant see which lines is for frequency of the checking [04:32] i think hacking is interesting and learning it might prove useful and beneficial later on, i knw u have to learn UNIX [04:32] snip3r: start doing man man in terminal [04:32] snip3r: you want to learn how to use the terminal, and how to script bash? [04:32] hiptobecubic^: I'd think that NetworkManager would run those, not nm-applet [04:32] if thats what it called then yea [04:33] snip3r: i kinda missed your original question, i just came in recently, so... what was it? :) [04:33] snip3r: http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/10/11/7-must-read-linux-tutorials/ [04:33] snip3r not to be rude, but you also cant really be taught hacking cause you have to train your mind on your own [04:33] crdlb, i thought so too, but for some reason it doesn't seem to run with root privileges. I'm trying to make it alter the routing table and it can't do it. I know the script works because when i run it as sudo it has no problems [04:33] learning to think like a computer and understand the code and being able to manipulate is really difficult [04:33] well don't want to be taught, i just want to learn it [04:33] therealnanotube: THANK YOU WOOT LOL now i just have to make it so they cant have access to it since the websites are in the /var/www I dont know how to block the ftp users out from that or getting to other parts of my server lol [04:34] snip3r: read the terminal manual and some bash, you'll figure the rest on your own [04:34] therealnanotube : this one http://www.pldt.com.ph/prod-serv/business/bizdsl.htm ..SmallBiz Micro download -up to 2.0 Mbps CIR - 64 Kbps .. is this good for single user VOIP? thanks [04:34] snip3r well just google your a$$ off === C3333877 is now known as chalcedony [04:34] snip3r: yup, google is your friend at all times [04:34] crdlb: I've messed my display [04:35] therealnanotube: i just wanted to knw where to get a shell account, but the guys here have told me i can just practice in the terminal [04:35] snip3r: because you already have a local shell account [04:35] ThinkPad computers have a test program called 'PC-Doctor for DOS'. You can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in PC-Doctor. Is there a similar Linux program available? [04:35] cn28h [04:35] what is that site so I can paste what I got? [04:35] i c [04:35] That command wouldnt work [04:35] hiptobecubic^: did you chmod +x it? [04:35] Guitarras: paste.ubuntu.com [04:36] the best place to start would be to read the terminal manual [04:36] snip3r: yup, def [04:36] jigp: should be ok [04:36] yes because when you open terminal you have just accessed a shell account [04:36] and as long as i don't do sudo im alright [04:36] Hi, i commented the gdm in defualt-display-manager, but i dont want to see the ubuntu graphical screen on the startup. i only need text screen, how to change that, ia m using hardy [04:37] crdlb, yeah, the rest of the script runs, just the part that requires root permissions fails [04:37] therealnanotube : i have experienced choppy voice output or releasing my voice to 386kbps speed before... [04:37] therealnanotube: Is there a way to block users from going into other parts of my server since there site is in /var/www/ i use proftpd if u could help me on that that would be GREAT [04:37] lol [04:37] cn28h [04:37] snip3r: well, if you have a linux computer, yea, that's your shell account - a shell account is just an account on a remote or local unix comp. you have one, so there it is. [04:37] terminal manual? lol, first place to start is read the linux system administrator's guide :P Good old sag... then you switch to reading NAG... I'll let you figure out what NAG stands for :) === hiptobecubic^ is now known as hiptobecubic [04:38] and where can i get system admin guide and then NAG? [04:38] google for it [04:38] bullgard4: what does PC-Doctor do [04:38] snip3r: check out the link I gave you, there are many manuals there [04:39] therealnanotube : thanks..ill go for that package then.. :) [04:39] yea im looking at it right now [04:39] djhash: You can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in PC-Doctor. [04:39] hiptobecubic: have you tried getting the output of whoami and writing it to a file in that script? [04:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/40824/ [04:39] can someonje help? [04:39] ApOgEE-: in what way? [04:39] bullgard4: more details.. what kind of diagnostics? what type of errors? [04:39] Guitarras: the command is modprobe [04:40] zsoil [04:40] Isnt that what i typed? [04:40] crdlb, whoami! that's the command i was looking for earlier. thanks i'll try it [04:40] damn [04:40] Guitarras: You'll be amazed. [04:40] jigp: well, does it hurt to try it, and if it doesn't work, upgrade? [04:40] Zsoil i feel like a tard haha. [04:40] ill be back. [04:40] snip3r: if you have no experience on the command line, the man pages might be a bit overwhelming. If you want an easier introduction, you might try something like http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/. If you want to learn "hacking" you should look into learning C and prolly some X86 assembly. [04:40] hi [04:41] ok [04:41] i need some quick advise [04:41] TornadoChas3r: well, if i understand you correctly, you can make /var/lib/mysql accessible to them, but /var/www inaccessible, just by setting the permissions? [04:41] my ubuntu cd freezes during format [04:41] another thing am i stuck in the ubuntu irc or can i log onto others? [04:41] TornadoChas3r: otherwise, describe where exactly do youwant your ftp users to have access to, and where not. [04:42] snip3r: are you using xchat? [04:42] snip3r: you can log into any irc. [04:42] snip3r: this network is called freenode, and yes, you can join whatever network you want [04:42] snip3r: i would suggest installing zsh and changing your login shell to that [04:42] hi there, does anyone know how can i share internet connection from leopard to ubuntu with a crossover cable? [04:42] that is i am formating my HDD as EXT3 and it locks up at 33% [04:42] therealnanotube: i never chaged permission to /var/www plus thats where the site are but they can access more than Just that and or JUST there site [04:42] djhash: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?Indocid=MIGR-46464 [04:42] snip3r: to learn about the terminal, a good starter site is "linuxcommand.org" [04:42] mneptok: why do you recommend zsh over bash? [04:42] therealnanotube: i just dont know how to get proftpd to deny them acces to other places than there home area or there site [04:43] leo_rockw: it offers the same featureset as bash, but also includes much more than does bash (e.g. completions) [04:43] DEdwards: How long has it been stuck at 33%? How big is the partition its trying to format? [04:43] look around in proftpd manuals, it's been a long time since i've even looked at it, but as i recall, it has pretty robust permissions specifications. [04:43] mneptok: thanks, I'll look into it then [04:43] ok [04:43] Thanks [04:44] leo_rockw: basically, if someone does not have a history and familiarity with bash, i think zsh is a better choice in 2008. [04:44] For the past month or so I've noticed that my internet browsing is slower than it used to be (and MUCH slower than the "up to 6mbps" advertised by AT&T Yahoo, my ISP). How can I go about diagnosing what is eating up my bandwidth? [04:44] mneptok: is zsh in the installing manager? [04:44] i was wondering if the LAN would automatically configure in ubuntu-server edition? [04:44] snip3r: certainly [04:44] mneptok: bash-completion? :) [04:44] bullgard4: that link doesnt work.. check it [04:44] snip3r: sudo apt-get install zsh zsh-doc zsh-lovers [04:44] so once i install the server edition i could connect to something and then be able to install packages? [04:44] therealnanotube: one more question What about IP bans on proftpd I had trouble installed the ban module is there any other way sorry i sound annoying lol [04:44] mneptok: crdlb is right, there is a bash-completion package [04:45] leo_rockw: does bash auto-complete package names from your apt cache? zsh does. [04:45] djhash: Only after you answered the question which I have put. [04:45] mneptok: yes [04:46] crdlb: natively, or do you have to install completions? will it complete filenames on remote hosts? [04:46] i really need to learn how to use the terminal [04:46] zSoilworker: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40826/ [04:46] thanks for the sites guys [04:46] Hi All, I am enjoying Ubuntu a LOT. The one question I have: is there an audio program that can import my audio files and sort them into directories based on their ID3 tags (like iTunes does) and change the file names and directory names if the tag changes? [04:46] snip3r: you don;t leatn to use a terminal. you learn to use the shell software running inside it. [04:46] Guitarras: So, what's the deal? [04:46] mneptok: it autocompletes apt-get install packages names [04:46] Zsoil- Its still not working (wireless) [04:47] dhenry, an hour and 4GB [04:47] ok then that [04:47] bullgard4: what do you mean? [04:47] Thats what cn28h told me to do. [04:47] just want to knw something other than how to talk to ppl online [04:47] TornadoChas3r: you could do it through your firewall, i guess. [04:47] can i use c and other languages in the terminal? [04:47] i guess good idea lol [04:47] mneptok: what's the benefits of zsh vs bash? [04:48] snip3r: no, to run C programs they need to be compiled first [04:48] snip3r: yea, you can code stuff in the terminal, in c, or any other language you have installed.. [04:48] it's amazing what google can find http://friedcpu.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/zsh-the-last-shell-youll-ever-need/ :P [04:48] snip3r: you can only use bash in the terminal [04:48] or csh [04:48] hello all [04:48] snip3r: you can call a python interpreter. python is easier to learn than C [04:48] hi cut and bruised [04:48] cutandbrused: hello [04:48] crdlb, this computer cannot use intel driver. when I reboot, it appear low res and reverted back to vesa [04:48] if i want to ftp/sftp into my ubuntu server, what package do i need? [04:49] therealnanotube: that's a politically charged subject. and it has been answered on the lazyweb far better than i could. [04:49] okay im really sick of not being able to play any kind of flash videos and or music. is there any kind of fix whatsoever? i cant even play youtube [04:49] crdlb, any ideas on how to fix it? [04:49] ApOgEE-: xserver-xorg-video-intel is definitely installed? [04:49] linxuz3r: there are more shells than just bash and csh ;) [04:49] snip3r: see this ubuntuforums programming talk thread for a bunch of resources on learning to program: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=832449 [04:49] can anyone tell me what cool stuff i can do with ubuntu [04:49] wat do u mean i have to compile the language? [04:49] you need to install flash [04:49] its installed. [04:49] crdlb, yes installed [04:49] G3N0: what arch? [04:49] yes [04:49] hi mneptok [04:49] G3N0: install swfdec [04:49] ubunut 8 [04:49] ewww, zsh is 'mostly' compatible with bash [04:49] is there a way to upgrade: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.1 (2007 May 12, compiled Jan 31 2008 12:15:03) [04:50] G3N0, you need to install flashplugin-nonfree and libflashsupport [04:50] Somebody please help me with my wireless. [04:50] swfdec is better than the actualy shockwave flash? [04:50] like yum upgrade xxxxx [04:50] G3N0: define betetr [04:50] DEdwards: Any error messages? Any luck restarting the install? Is the HDD light on? I have had installs freeze but its been a couple releases since anything like that has happened. [04:50] G3N0: er... better* [04:50] leo_rockw, swfdec doesnt work with pulse audio on hardy [04:50] G3N0: i386 or x64? [04:50] ApOgEE-: you can try the i810 driver I guess (xserver-xorg-video-i810) [04:50] i386 [04:50] zelrikriando: ooo, i use aRTs [04:50] so you guys heard [04:50] another thing guys, i have this problem when my comp hibernates or is suspended [04:50] !apt | chris127 [04:50] chris127: 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) [04:50] i get a message telling me that it failed to sleep [04:51] leo_rockw, what is aRTs? [04:51] dhenry, no errors the HDD light does not come on, ive tried 3 times, and ive used this CD on multiple systems [04:51] zelrikriando: KDE 3.5.9 sound system [04:51] Anyway I am going to go hope i have no other problmes if not i will be back lol [04:51] leo_rockw, oh ok I see === Unidentified4823 is now known as TornadoChas3r [04:51] zelrikriando: i switched to swfdec because it manages resources better and because it's free [04:52] Evening all. I'm trying to fix an issue. I built and installed drivers for my cable tuner card. When I rebooted, X-Windows wan't functioning. So, I booted into Recovery Mode and chose "Fix X-Server". That worked, but now whenever I take a screenshot, my machine locks, When using Compiz (instead of Metacity), I have no window headers, etc. Can you suggest where I start looking short of a full re-install? [04:52] leo_rockw, I wish I could...I have had issues with it [04:52] any palm guru's on? [04:52] zelrikriando: i have flashplugin-nonfree and libflashsupport both installed and its still messing up. [04:52] G3N0, reinstall them :) if that doesnt work...then I am not sure [04:52] whats command for that? :) [04:53] DEdwards: success on the other systems? Were there any issues with this system before install Ubuntu? You might have an HDD going bad. [04:53] sudo apt-get remove? [04:53] i like apt [04:53] zelrikriando: the good thing is that I use konqueror and there is no swfdec for konqueror yet, which means I browse the web flash free. if i really want to see the flash things i call iceweasel [04:53] it's like yum [04:53] simple and finds dependancies [04:53] not like slackware [04:53] !botsnack [04:53] pkgtool is tough [04:53] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [04:53] crdlb, xserver-xorg-video-i810 is already the newest version. [04:53] G3N0, go to your synaptic package manager....it's more well less....command line style [04:53] finished with the zsh installment and got this error: /var/cache/apt/archives/zsh-lovers_0.5-0ubuntu3_all.deb [04:53] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [04:53] i like yum too for the hat versions [04:53] ApOgEE-: ok, now set your xorg.conf to use it [04:54] mneptok: well, that link that shingen posted is pretty convincing... :) [04:54] anybody knw what it means? [04:54] G3N0, you might wanna install ubuntu-restricted-extras as well [04:54] therealnanotube: I"m not too big a fan of half broken bash scripts though :P [04:54] zelrikriando: already have it as well D: [04:54] Any Palm guru's on? [04:54] chris127: this is more than sorta offtopic, but i left "deadrat" distros long before there was yum. BECAUSE apt made things simpler. [04:54] G3N0, ok ... [04:54] guys , where is the fonts folder in hardy? (i dont need to install i need to copy with knoppix) [04:55] zelrikriando: im gonna reinstall and see how that goes... [04:55] G3N0, yeah.. [04:55] shingen: well, that's nothing a bash shebang line won't fix, no? :) [04:56] anybody? [04:56] knoppix: probably in "/usr/share/fonts" [04:56] therealnanotube: I suppose, but that might be alot more crap editing than I expected, just to fool with a new shell :) [04:56] dhenry, i suspect the HDD is bad [04:56] kc8pxy, but for servers? i mean, it's hard to beat centos [04:56] ThinkPad computers have a test program called 'PC-Doctor for DOS'. You can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in PC-Doctor. Is there a similar Linux program available? [04:56] does anyone know where to get the patch so I can use vmware? [04:56] kc8pxy, a hardened centos is one of the best production servers [04:56] i added an old 4.3GB hadd for a root partition [04:57] DEdwards: If you're running the Ubuntu live disc, you might try running badblocks and see what it turns up. Might take a long time though. Try here for more help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=695892 [04:57] (shortly followed by debian) [04:57] G3N0, make sure you have one flash plugin in firefox , you can check that in about:plugins [04:57] sekyourbox: google vmware-any-any and you can find 17d pretty easily [04:57] snip3r try sudo apt-get autoremove then apt-get autoclean. then install what your trying [04:57] i use Centos [04:57] dhenry, in using text installer [04:57] therealnanotube, you are right, do you know if i need "true type" or "type1" (i want to copy to a windows box) [04:57] shingen: heh well... i always start my shell scripts with that anyway... so if i do try out zsh, i don't think i'll be running into any problems with the scripts. i feel your pain, though. :) [04:57] bullgard4: the link you gave me was not working.. you need to send me a proper link to give you a similiar software in ubuntu [04:57] knoppix: well, truetype will definitely work on windows. don't know whether type1 will. why not copy both and try? :) [04:58] therealnanotube: I suppose I can write a script which looks at script headers at execution and modifies them prior to... :P [04:58] therealnanotube thank you [04:58] what any any patch is the one I need?

[04:59] shingen: or you could just run your scripts with "bash yourscript.sh" ;) [04:59] snip3r did you sudo? [04:59] DEdwards: I think badblocks is still there. Try typing badblocks at the prompt and see if you get a usage message. If so then its installed. You can still run the commands on the last link I sent. [04:59] Results 1 - 2 of 2 for vmware-any-any patch download 17d. [04:59] grnfraggle: also unable to lock download directory [05:00] snip3r: do you have more than one package manager working?

[05:09] I need to wipe a hard drive via USB before returning it (it was replaced under warranty). [05:09] anybody i tried installing zsh and got this error /var/cache/apt/archives/zsh-lovers_0.5-0ubuntu3_all.deb [05:09] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:09] Can anyone help with Palm sync :) [05:09] leo_rockw: trying to figure out wat went rong [05:09] snip3r: you are installing something else [05:09] m_IRC_o: install it from the repos, don't need to download from the web. [05:09] snip3r: do you have multiple copies of synaptic package manager or the upgrade manager running? [05:10] shingen: no [05:10] shingen: heh, yea, shell propaganda.. what's the world coming to? :) [05:10] snip3r: you can only run 1 session of apt / synaptic / aptitude / adept / add remove programs at a time [05:10] therealnanotube: does that support ntfs file system? [05:11] therealnanotube: heh, wasn't that always the case? I seem to recall having very lengthy discussions in my past about ksh vs csh vs tcsh before bash came along [05:11] leo_rockw: well before i used he system package to install xchat [05:11] tico_: if it is in your kernel it does [05:11] sup mang [05:11] leo_rockw: i was told zsh was better [05:11] Also, what would be something like AnalogX's netstat live, to monitor bandwidth usage ? [05:11] richiefrich: ok [05:11] shingen: add to the confussion that /bin/sh points to dash in ubuntu [05:11] snip3r: better then> [05:11] richiefrich: anyway I can check?> [05:11] tico_: yea, look at "man mkfs.ntfs" for details. [05:11] therealnanotube: didn't find java on synaptic :| [05:11] snip3r: did you close the system package? [05:12] tico_: sure grep the .config [05:12] m_IRC_o: look for package "sun-java" [05:12] leo_rockw: yea [05:12] its not open anywhere [05:12] leo_rockw: lol. Dash has bitten me a few times when building things that really want bash but specify /bin/sh [05:12] let me try it again [05:12] therealnanotube: nt for man mkfs.ntfs [05:12] therealnanotube: looking up... [05:12] tico_: or if ubuntu has it -> zgrep -i ntfs /proc/config.gz [05:12] richiefrich: where is that? [05:13] dhenry: there is even a bug report about that in launchpad, it was a problem for a lot of people when that changed [05:13] richiefrich: no such file [05:13] can i update my iphone 3g via ubuntu and wine and itunes? [05:13] <_Zeus_> rredd4: no [05:13] snip3r: what are you using to install? [05:13] tico_: then look in /usr/src/linux/.config.old [05:13] tico_: then look in /usr/src/linux/.config [05:13] tico_: clarify what you said? what do you mean "nt for man mkfs.ntfs" ? [05:13] tico_: or look in /boot/ [05:13] therealnanotube: still nothing :| [05:13] _Zeus_ why not? [05:14] therealnanotube: man for that returns nothing [05:14] <_Zeus_> rredd4: cause stupid apple doesn't support itunes on linux [05:14] m_IRC_o: packages sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-jre, you have to enable "universe" repository [05:14] can anyone help with partitions who knows about testdisk? [05:14] _Zeus_ but itunes is opened via wine [05:14] tico_: how about "man mkntfs" [05:14] leo_rockw: I came across that bug report in my hunt for a solution. Now I just move the link to bash whenever I get an error remotely shell related during a build. [05:14] leo_rockw: im using the terminal [05:14] therealnanotube: looking up again [05:14] snip3r: aptitude or apt-get? [05:14] <_Zeus_> rredd4: that doesn't mean it will work with the device [05:14] snip3r: zsh isnt better thats an opinion [05:15] snip3r: what command did you use? [05:15] <_Zeus_> rredd4: go ahead and try, but i'm telling you it won't work [05:15] richiefrich: nothing [05:15] _Zeus_ probably can't use the latest itunes tho [05:15] !better > snip3r [05:15] snip3r, please see my private message [05:15] _Zeus_ ok, ty [05:15] <_Zeus_> !itunes [05:15] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [05:15] <_Zeus_> :-D [05:15] tico_: sudo modprobe -l | grep -i ntfs [05:15] tico_: you also have to install package 'ntfsprogs' [05:15] therealnanotube: nothing on that too [05:15] leo_rockw: aptget [05:15] tico_: do you have that one installed? [05:16] snip3r: sudo apt-get install zsh [05:16] therealnanotube: let me check [05:16] ubottu: where is ur message? [05:16] therealnanotube: he needs the module 1st, unless it is build in [05:16] richiefrich: that returns something [05:16] tico_: what [05:16] i download wine and itunes.Does anyone know how to get my iphone to work with itune or does itune will pick up my iphone? [05:16] tico_: ooh sorry you can check like [05:16] leo_rockw: is zsh worth the installation? [05:16] tico_: cat /proc/filesystems | grep ntfs [05:17] snip3r: I never tried zsh [05:17] tico_: i forgot that one [05:17] anyone use wine and itunes? [05:17] snip3r: for some yeah, for some no [05:17] can anyone help with partitions who knows about testdisk? [05:17] richiefrich: I get nothing on that [05:17] csyntax: itunes is horrible [05:17] richiefrich: should be on there on a recent ubuntu by default, no? [05:17] richiefrich: /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko i got that on the other one [05:17] richiefrich: any major differences? [05:17] therealnanotube: no clue [05:17] therealnanotube: nothing at all, nothing called "sun-java" anywhere... [05:17] richie,I know but i need it to update my cell phone. [05:17] iphone [05:17] snip3r: sure there is if you use the functionality [05:18] m_IRC_o: what version of ubuntu are you running? [05:18] csyntax: why just unlock it [05:18] richiefrich: well, his ntfs.ko listing shows that it's loaded. :) [05:18] what you mean [05:18] csyntax: why use apple firmare just jailbreak it [05:18] richiefrich: sorry not familiar, functionality? [05:18] and then you are free [05:18] therealnanotube: I need to see if it has it on a boot cd im making [05:18] can you do that in linux [05:19] therealnanotube: eeexubuntu 7.10 if I'm not wrong... don't ask me to upgrade coz If I would do so the wifi would stop living :( [05:19] snip3r: it has better tab completition and some other things but it isnt by default [05:19] csyntax: google it [05:19] ok [05:19] richiedfrish: so u have to set them up [05:19] m_IRC_o: 7.10 is recent enough, it should be there. aha, it's in multiverse, not universe. proof: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/sun-java6-jre :) [05:19] snip3r: you always do [05:20] can anyone help with partitions who knows about testdisk? [05:20] snip3r: let me find something for you [05:20] richiefrich: ill try it, but if i don't like it what command can i use to remove it [05:20] richiefrich: thanks [05:20] therealnanotube: thanx, which extension to choose? [05:20] Has anyone here ever had a problem using ssh over wireless/ [05:20] tico_: well, if it's not, that's what you need. ntfsprogs. [05:20] RifleEyes: did you try going through the Analyze part of testdisk? [05:20] m_IRC_o: what do you mean "which extension" ? [05:21] csyntax get a windows or mac box for iphone update [05:21] djhash! yes, i did. i don't know quite what i found, though. [05:21] the-erm1: not me... but i suppose if your connection is crappy, you'd have a problem. [05:21] therealnanotube: ok [05:21] the-erml: I haven't had that happen... doing it right now [05:21] anyone here use hidpoint? [05:21] the-erml: whats the ping time to the server you're connected to? [05:22] therealnanotube: I don't think it is, everything else works. [05:22] My usb enclosure mounted my old drive properly before, now it appears not to: http://pastebin.com/me0d486d === selocol_ is now known as selocol [05:22] the-erm1: so, what happens if you try wired - do you still have the same problem? or is it exclusive to wireless? [05:22] I'm only mounting it to overwrite it before sending it back (was replaced under warranty)... [05:22] no one here has an MX 1000 laser mouse? [05:22] dhenry: ping: < 0.239 ms [05:22] you say it will not work with linuix [05:23] RifleEyes: msg me in private maybe we can walk through it.. [05:23] therealnanotube: i need to figure out how to get that on the boot cd now lol. I just need the boot cd to format a parition and copy files from an iso to it. backup/restore [05:23] therealnanotube: actually that's the weird part, wired it connects no problem. wireless it asks for the password, I enter it, and then it sorta sits there. [05:23] Sigh. [05:23] Like it's getting the wrong key. [05:24] richiefrich: are u still looking? [05:24] hey anyone know something about desktop cube? im trying to make it as all the 6 sides of the cube are desktops [05:25] the-erm1: hrm, weird indeed... can't think of what it could be... could you run "ssh -vvv" for maximum verbosity, maybe the debug messages will be helpful? [05:25] snip3r: i got it [05:25] anyone know about the thinkpad thumbprint reader? I noticed gnome-keyring-manager doesn't acknowledge it [05:25] richiefrich: wat u find? [05:25] tico_: why does the partition need to be ntfs, anyway? maybe it would be easier to just use ext3, or fat32? [05:25] but if i put 6 desktops, it turns into a hexagon [05:25] therealnanotube: I'll try that. [05:25] snip3r: wget http://infectious.cc/-/zshrc.avi ; mplayer zshrc.avi [05:26] snip3r: thats my buddies avi on zsh [05:26] therealnanotube: its for windows [05:26] Yo [05:26] ThinkPad computers have a test program called 'PC-Doctor for DOS'. You can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in PC-Doctor. Is there a similar Linux program available? [05:26] therealnanotube: its for someone whos just starting off with computers in a diff. country, and if somethings messes up I want them to be able to restore it by just putting in one cd [05:27] richiefrich: thanks and i can find zsh here? [05:27] wtf does bullgard4 repeat the same question every 10 to 15 minutes? :P [05:27] snip3r: i should be fast i have a great connection [05:27] snip3r: no it is a video about it [05:27] snip3r: shows what there is you can do [05:27] tico_: so try fat32 - windows should have no problems with it? [05:27] richiefrich: o [05:28] tico_: unfortunately i don't know how to make a custom livecd, so i'm suggesting what i know. :) i'm sure it's possible to include ntfsprogs in there, i just don't know how. [05:28] I'm having trouble getting Flash to work... which is odd because I've installed it no problems on previous systems. [05:28] bullgard4: I'm not familiar with what PC Doctor can do. What specifically does it check? [05:28] jimjam: 64bit? [05:28] richiefrich: no, 32bit [05:28] I've tried flashplugin-nonfree, I've tried ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:28] jimjam: just get it from adobe [05:29] it is one file [05:29] jimjam: no need to install it it is a .so [05:29] richiefrich: i'm leeching that zsh video off of you too, thanks [05:29] leo_rockw: np [05:29] leo_rockw: it should be fast [05:29] :p [05:29] richiefrich: It's a .so? === fazzlie is now known as jakoh [05:29] i do 5mbps up [05:29] richiefrich: It was done before I sent the thank you message, wow [05:30] richiefrich: I envy your connection, haha [05:30] jimjam: yeah [05:30] jimjam: it's a zip with a .so in it, to be precise :) [05:30] leo_rockw: 50/5 [05:30] Can anybody help me figure out while this USB drive enclosure isn't mounting? [05:30] therealnanotube: well yea, hard part is figuring out how :P thanks for all the help tho [05:30] richiefrich: the video it was about terminal commands? [05:30] snip3r: it is about zsh [05:30] richiefrich: ditto on the zsh video. Thanks [05:30] puff: dmesg tail should help you [05:30] richiefrich, therealnanotube: Thanks! I'll try it! [05:30] how do i convert an flv file to 3gp? [05:31] jimjam: yeah one file add it to like ~/.mozilla/lugins [05:31] richiefrich: wait zsh is a shell? [05:31] richiefrich: that's a nice and fast uplink you got there. :) [05:31] snip3r: yeah [05:31] snip3r: it's a shell interpreter [05:31] therealnanotube: 50/5 [05:31] therealnanotube: DOCSIC 3 [05:31] richiefrich: o thanks gusy [05:31] snip3r: there are many different ones [05:31] snip3r: bash is the default one in pretty much all the gnu/linux distros [05:32] zsh is supierior for some if you use it right [05:32] but i still like bash [05:32] snip3r: did you mean zfs? [05:32] snip3r: or no [05:32] no [05:32] ok [05:32] zsh [05:32] therealnanotube: thats one of my sites [05:32] hwdyki: use ffmpeg. here's a link to a nifty script using ffmpeg: http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/04/ffmpeg-based-batch-flv-to-3gp-converter-scripts.html [05:33] richiefrich: how do i install zsh now? [05:33] ahoy! [05:33] apt-get install [05:33] snip3r: sudo apt-get install zsh [05:33] snip3r: like any other [05:33] ok [05:33] JimmyB_: chips? [05:33] richiefrich: nice. what do you use all that bandwidth for? :) [05:33] therealnanotube: ooh this and that [05:33] :D [05:33] anyone know the command to add an addition ip address/gateway to my eth0 interface? [05:33] richiefrich: hehe :) [05:33] hwdyki: you cann use mencoder too [05:33] i cant get this vmware patch to work [05:34] richiefrich: when i do an auto clean i get this error [05:34] snip3r: clean? [05:34] richiefrich: yea autoclean [05:34] anyone? [05:34] snip3r: i'd say, forget about zsh, and just use bash. [05:34] JimmyB_: you dont add and ip address unless you mean route? [05:34] leo_rockw: Yeah, it says [05:35] JimmyB_: you wanna add a route [05:35] JimmyB_: or a another interface>? [05:35] leo_rockw: "can't set config #1, error -110". http://pastebin.com/me0d486d [05:35] like link them [05:35] therealnanotube: well i knw so much [05:35] err bridge them [05:35] i have 1 interface that will use two ip addresses and two gateways.. [05:35] JimmyB_: to add a gateway, look at command "route" [05:35] richiefrich, therealnanotube: You guys are amazing! Thanks! [05:35] i have the first setup, how do i add the second ones? [05:35] JimmyB_: "man route" for details [05:35] thereananotube: and wat i knw its no enough yet [05:35] 10-4 thanks [05:36] Does anyone know how to change the sda2 partition to sda1? [05:36] JimmyB_: i knows in gentoo not in unbuntu [05:36] please help me [05:36] JimmyB_: something like "route add gw yourgateway" should do it, but read man page to make sure [05:36] which programming language do i have to learn and which tools to use that i can write applications/software for free at linux for linux? :) [05:36] how to change ident [05:36] ? [05:36] redrobin: you cant change it [05:36] xchat [05:36] jimjam: enjoy :) [05:36] redrobin: you can del sda2 and make a single part [05:36] jakah: try asking in #xchat [05:36] redrobin: the partition number is determined by your partition table [05:36] when i do autoclean i get [05:36] puff: google will know more about that than me [05:36] E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [05:36] E: Unable to lock the download directory [05:37] ok, mebbe I'm spoiled at having things set up for me. how do i configure my ftpd package give me access to the site files for my apache? [05:37] redrobin: but then you would have to del eveerything [05:37] snip3r: your not root [05:37] richiefrich: i think route should be in gentoo as well. it's a standard linux/bsd command. :) [05:37] leo_rockw: Unfortunately, google doesn't seem to know much abou tit. [05:37] redrobin: this isn't for the faint of heart, but you can change the pointer of the sector for sda1 to start/end where sda2 start/ends and vice versa... I've done it, but not in linux before [05:37] snip3r: sudo -H -i [05:37] leo_rockw: Or I wouldn't be asknig here :-) [05:37] therealnanotube: no i meant in the configs i can set it [05:37] richiefrich: I am willing to delete all other partitions except that one [05:37] richiefrich: ah yea, the configs are prob all in different places. :) [05:38] puff: then you're better off asking the channel, I have no idea what to do to solve that problem, sorry [05:38] richiefrich: wat can i change to be root [05:38] snip3r: put sudo before the command [05:38] !root [05:38] 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 [05:38] redrobin: simple question. why? there are few advantages to doing it. [05:38] leo_rockw: Thanks anyway. [05:38] therealnanotube: like routes_bond0=("default via 192.168.55.2 via 192.168.1.2") [05:38] sudo passwd allows you to set your root password [05:38] o [05:38] Help: Heron was working on another PC fine. I changed the memory, and now it comes up with screen abherations. Memory tests OK and if I boot the Live CD that comes up OK too as long as I select F4 VGA option. Please advise? [05:38] sudo so you can su afterwards [05:38] therealnanotube: you can just do that with route or if you can idk how [05:39] or you can always sudo su :P [05:39] shingen: that's strongly not recommended [05:39] therealnanotube: i know from a config :Pp [05:39] better off just sudo su [05:39] richiefrich: yea, all that's "really" done with 'route' in the backend. :) [05:39] or sudo -i [05:39] sudo /bin/bash [05:39] kc8pxy: I need to make windows sda1 and ubuntu sdb2 not vice versa as it is now. I am willing to re-install ubuntu if I have to [05:39] shingen: I was told sudo -i is better, and it makes sense [05:39] richiefrich: worked no error [05:39] therealnanotube: yeah i know but i have no clue myself [05:40] redrobin: why is that required? [05:40] hello there. has anyone managed to get iwlwifi working for the intel 5100wifi card? [05:40] therealnanotube: i can add one thats all not multipule [05:40] Help: I guess a better way to pose the question is how do I force it to run VGA mode? [05:40] snip3r: :D [05:40] Starnestommy: it just depends on how security conscious you are when choosing your passwords... mine are all 12+ characters, with alpha upper/lower, numeric & symbols in it [05:40] kc8pxy: It's a complicated reason. Is it possible? [05:40] * richiefrich and to think i was getting yelled at eariler for helping ppl, seems you all like my help now [05:41] redrobin: what you trying to do [05:41] wow, a really bad time to enter tis room [05:41] richiefrich: indeed [05:41] redrobin: windows is on sda2? and you want it on sda1? [05:41] im done [05:41] Kohlrak: why? [05:41] redrobin: it's possible, but it's delicate, and risky, so finding someone with the exp to guide yu is gonna be tough. [05:42] spanther: seems to be anger... [05:42] ah [05:42] redrobin: ? [05:42] richiefrich: I am trying to make my windows partition from sdb2 to sdb1. It is the only partition on the hard drive but it still shows up as sdb2. [05:42] redrobin: why though grub ca boot it form any one [05:42] alistair_: well, you could boot into safe mode, and then put driver=vesa in xorg.conf... [05:43] windows doesnt have to be on the 1st partition [05:43] you do know that ? === hwdyki_ is now known as hwdyki [05:43] redrobin: windows and linux don't don't have a common file system. Use one and it'll break the other. [05:43] how do i convert an flv file to 3gp? i get Unknown codec 'aac' when i run ffmpeg -i 1.flv -s 176x144 -vcodec h263 -r 28 -b 96k -ab 64 -acodec aac -ac 1 -ar 44100 1.3gp [05:43] hey all, im on 8.04 and i just got an amd radeon 4870, tried a fresh install, compile from source, and a .deb, everything doesnt work (black screen but vsync signal sent to screen). Anyone have an idea? [05:43] redrobin: if there is another reason please tell me [05:44] richiefrich: yes I know how to do that, but I need to change it to sdb1 for a reason that is hard to explain. Is this possible? [05:44] hwdyki: http://blog.fakap.net/mp3toflv/flvto3gp.sh [05:44] sda1 I mean [05:44] redrobin: i agree with richiefrich. worst case, is you change your master/slave jumpers, and make is sda2 and sdb1 :) [05:44] redrobin: it's posible, but it would require changes that might not be quite legal [05:44] Hi ppl [05:44] redrobin: sure you can boot to a love cd and use dd [05:44] live* [05:44] hey guys, can brasero really burn .avi or .mpg files to a DVD that I can play in a DVD player/TV? [05:45] Richefrich: what's dd? [05:45] Kohlrak: i hope sda1 is as big as sda2 [05:45] Yasumoto: really, really. [05:45] hwdyki: use libfaac instead of 'aac' for the -acodec argument. [05:45] redrobin: it copies bit by bit [05:45] zSoilworker: dude, sweet. thanks :) [05:45] therealnanotube: or the script i posted [05:45] richiefrich: i think he's trying to merge the partitions, but that wuold take alot of work, maybe even by hand... [05:45] :P [05:45] folks, I'm trying recode some video tutorial about GIMP here. What programs could I use to do that? [05:45] redrobin: If you really want to play with fire (strong possibility of losing data!!!) you need to fire up fdisk. Write down the start and size of the second partition. Then delete the partition and recreate it with the exact same start and size numbers, but as the first partition. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! BACK UP ALL DATA AND BE PREPARED TO REINSTALL WINDOWS. [05:46] in VLC or MoviePlayer, is there a way to select which codec pack to use? [05:46] Kohlrak: the way i understand it he wants to move sda2 to sda2 and install linux on sda2 [05:46] Kohlrak: i could be wrong [05:46] hi room [05:46] redrobin: does sdb2 take up the whole drive? [05:46] hello and good nite (been a long day to get to this point) [05:46] kc8pxy: how could it [05:46] it is sda2 [05:46] why do you want to change your partition order [05:46] richiefrich: well, acodec mp3 works too (from your script). either way :) [05:46] :P [05:46] richiefrich: aw heck, why not just do some fancy renaming then? however even that is kinda dangerous... [05:46] what is the name of today Security update for the kernel? [05:47] Kohlrak: dd would work [05:47] richiefrich: ?? [05:47] question: how to solve the pulseaudio single sound at a time issue and why is it there in the 1st place [05:47] kc8pxy: yes it takes up the whole drive except for some unallocated space at the end. Would it help if I got rid of this unallocated space? [05:47] kc8pxy: kc8pxy> redrobin: does sdb2 take up the whole drive?...... how could it [05:47] richiefrich: DOH. [05:47] kc8pxy: if he has two partitioins it CANT [05:47] gah [05:47] thin k about it [05:47] richiefrich: DOH. [05:48] kc8pxy: well you asked it [05:48] :D [05:48] question: how do I increase the maximum volume in hardy? It is much quieter than it was in windows. [05:48] amenado: linux-image-somethingorother... [05:48] anyone ever get this error when installed pdt : Cannot complete the request. See the details. [05:48] Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements Match[requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.eclipse.wst.web_ui.feature.feature.group/[3.0.1.v200807220139-7R0ELZE8Ks-y8HYiQrw5ftEC3UBF,3.0.1.v200807220139-7R0ELZE8Ks-y8HYiQrw5ftEC3UBF]]. [05:48] konstantly, check the top right hand corner for a speaker [05:48] redrobin: how much free space is on that drive? i mean, how much non-file space inside the partition? [05:48] Is there a way I can determine my MAC address through the command line? [05:48] even after you install the all of the WST and WTP :-P [05:48] aka, is it more than half empt? [05:49] people do not forget to do a security update... [05:49] konstanty: double-click the volume icon to get into the detailed settings, and see if it's maxed out where you want it. [05:49] redrobin: i still would like to understand what your trying to do [05:49] ghindo : ifconfig [05:49] kc8pxy: about 20 gig. It'l less than half empty [05:49] therealnanotube-> okay, i think see that now.. [05:49] danielm_mc: Cool, thank you [05:49] redrobin: how big is sda1 [05:49] amenado: i just checked for updates, but i didn't see anything. [05:49] redrobin: how big is sda2 [05:49] how would I go about debugging a video playback error on my system? [05:49] eclipse help - need it. [05:49] df -lha [05:49] richiefrich: do you see where I'm headed? [05:49] amenado: cool :) [05:50] getting rid of stupid pulseaudio wants to remove gnome too !?!? [05:50] kc8pxy: nope .. not until he tells me how big each is [05:50] Kohlrak-> a blurb i read, says it affect even version as far back as 6.06 [05:50] danielm_mc: what's wrong with eclipse? [05:50] richiefrich:there is no sda1, sda2 is 40GB, unallocated space is 30 GB [05:50] JulioNeto: I found a couple different solutions to this a year or so ago. None were perfect but they did work. One recorded to a VNC type format that required a special player. There was an application to turn the VNC into a flash video. [05:50] therealnanotube, thanks, to boot safe I press [Esc] right then select safe option? [05:50] hey all, im on 8.04 and i just got an amd radeon 4870, tried a fresh install, compile from source, and a .deb, everything doesnt work (black screen but vsync signal sent to screen). Anyone have an idea? [05:50] redrobin: heh so dd it ... [05:50] amenado: shouldn't i see it as an update in the update manger though? [05:50] kohlrak - installed ganymede today and trying to get the php plugin installed (PDT) - have all of the rquired packages installed, but i keep getting this error message Cannot complete the request. See the details. [05:50] Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements Match[requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.eclipse.wst.web_ui.feature.feature.group/[3.0.1.v200807220139-7R0ELZE8Ks-y8HYiQrw5ftEC3UBF,3.0.1.v200807220139-7R0ELZE8Ks-y8HYiQrw5ftEC3UBF]]. [05:51] alistair_: yea, press esc to enter grub menu, choose safe mode [05:51] redrobin: i assume sda2 is windows? how much room does windows say is free on sda2? [05:51] dhenry, I was reading about it :D [05:51] kc8pxy: i have no idea how he did what he did but thats funn7 [05:51] funy [05:51] Kohlrak: yes, yous hould... i run feisty, and i got it today. [05:51] Kohlrak-> you should, its a kernel [05:51] danielm_mc: It means it isn't installed. [05:51] amenado: still feisty o.o [05:51] amenado: lemme check synaptic [05:51] therealnanotube, any change of giving me the cmd to edit conf file from boot line? Ill write it down then go do it if possible [05:51] kc8pxy: It is almost full. Is it possible to rename it to sda1? [05:51] amenado: do you still get updates for feisty? Oo [05:51] * richiefrich thinks sda1 isnt needed it is no big deal [05:52] JulioNeto: Good. I think that was the solution I eventually went with. Audio synchronization was a problem and I think I ended up using a different program then merging them later. It was kinda klutzy. [05:52] kc8pxy: im still not understand why he cares [05:52] spanther-> i dont know, if repository still updates those [05:52] kc8pxy: maybe one day [05:52] kohlrak yes, one would think that however it is intalled : root@baikinman:/home/danielm/workspace/.metadata# locate y8HYiQrw5ftEC3UBF [05:52] /usr/lib/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.wst.web_ui.feature.source_3.0.1.v200807220139-7R0ELZE8Ks-y8HYiQrw5ftEC3UBF [05:52] /usr/lib/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.wst.web_ui.feature_3.0.1.v200807220139-7R0ELZE8Ks-y8HYiQrw5ftEC3UBF [05:52] I'm trying use 2 programs till now: Xvidcap and Istanbul. But both have one big problem. When I select the wish screen part it close =/ [05:52] < cannot play audio from multiple sources simultaneously, pulseaudio to blame, any ideas hot to fix (i've heard many ppl have this problem) [05:52] richiefrich: i agree at your bewilderment. [05:52] richiefrich: sorry man. It's because of a windows boot/grub problem with some stuff [05:52] kc8pxy: yeah sda1 2 3 4 6 doesnt matter [05:52] redrobin: i need numbers. how many gb free. [05:53] redrobin: then you have grub wrong [05:53] redrobin: grub can boot windoes on any part [05:53] kc8pxy: sda2 has about 10 gigs free [05:53] what's the current version? [05:53] what do you mean? [05:53] alistair_: hey, actually.. you could have it easier, i think. from the grub screen, you can edit the boot options directly, and add 'vga=771' to boot into vga mode. see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [05:54] redrobin: then you CAN switch it.. but the edge of it might be a little weird. [05:54] alistair_: that one should walk you through it step by step. [05:54] kohlrak what current version ? [05:54] richiefrich: I don't want grub. I just want windows to boot without grub popping up. [05:54] danielm_mc: kernel [05:54] JulioNeto there's recordmydesktop package [05:54] kohlrak 2.6.24-19-generic [05:54] seb90210, but it recode all screen... I would like (and would be better) recode only a part of it. [05:55] redrobin: so this is all a "i hate grub" issue? [05:55] like Xvidcap and Istanbul does [05:55] redrobin: then reinstall windows [05:55] redrobin: gah [05:55] o [05:55] kc8pxy: looks like you hit the nail on the head [05:55] redrobin: What problem are you having? [05:55] danielm_mc: that's really odd.. i have 2.6.24.16.18 [05:56] redrobin: You need to boot with the windows disk and start the recovery console. Run fixmbr http://amazingrando.wordpress.com/2007/04/05/fixmbr-is-your-friend/ You won't be able to boot into anything else after doing that. [05:56] JulioNeto you can zoom in w/ compiz and do it [05:56] kc8py: I don't want to reinstall windows because I would lose my data then. I want to have ubuntu installed on my computer with windows, but only boot ubuntu using grub on a memory key. I want windows to boot up automatically when I turn on my computer [05:56] dhenry: http://www.anotherworld.eu.org/docs/thinkpad_manual_t40-41-42p.pdf [05:56] therealnanotube, thanks that sounds like me [05:56] richiefrich: my idea was a gradual file trans, using a sysrescuecd(gentoo-based livecd that i have yet to find an issue i can't fix with it), and gparted(on the cd). [05:57] kohlrak you have ganymede running pdt ? [05:57] seb90210, ¬¬ HAHAHAHA thank you man, but I don't have a graphic card good enogh to compiz [05:57] =/ [05:57] danielm_mc: not that i know of =p [05:57] kc8pxy: ahh i see i think he could just install ubnutu and resize windows and then boot to windows by default and change the time=0 in grub.conf [05:57] yeah, it wasnt an elegant solution [05:57] kc8pxy: but what do i know [05:57] have any of you actually had day to day experience using the h470b printer from HP? [05:58] kohlrak - haha, you need to update your kernel, huh ? [05:58] danielm_mc: i guess so, but it says it's up to date for some reaon... [05:58] therealnanotube, what dir is xorg.conf in anyway pse? [05:58] richiefrich: how do I do all that? [05:58] redrobin: IIRC, your solution is this simple. boot windows, and run chkdsk /mbr [05:59] redrobin: you boot to the liveCD.. install ubuntu it will ask you to resize windows if you want and then you change the size to how you want it and then let it work [05:59] redrobin: i just did it on my bosses vita box [05:59] redrobin: it works i was amazed [05:59] richiefrich: but then ubuntu puts grub on my hard drive and that's not what I want [06:00] redrobin: so you dont want to install ubuntu at all ? [06:00] redrobin: im again lost [06:00] redrobin: why ubuntu w/o grub? [06:00] redrobin: how do you have grub on there now [06:00] kohlrak guess you have no idea about the eclipse problem then huh [06:00] if you have no linux [06:00] im totally loost [06:00] lost [06:01] kc8pxy: whats he have now windows and grub? [06:01] redrobin: whats the problem with grub :) [06:01] any Stardict users here? [06:01] does anyone know where to get eclipse help from? [06:01] danielm_mc: nope... Are you running standard eclipse package? [06:01] richiefrich: not sure yet. [06:01] windows is obsolete [06:01] danielm_mc: i'm gessing there's #eclipse [06:01] richiefrich: yes I want ubuntu. Here is the configuration I want. I want a dual boot with windows and ubuntu. When I switch the computer on, I want it to boot straight into windows. The only way I want to be able to boot ubuntu is if I run grub off my super grub cd. [06:01] move on [06:02] rich its so true [06:02] redrobin thats not the best configuration, vmware server = windows on linux [06:02] bullgard4: rebooting and selecting the memtest86 option in grub will test you RAM fairly well. fsck and badblocks should take care of your file systems and hdd. [06:02] redrobin: no, you can have grub in mbr and make it boot to windows [06:02] redrobin dual booting with dual partitions is so 1992 [06:02] anyone if there is a photoshop chan? [06:02] redrobin: You can choose not to install Grub from the installer, it's under "advanced" [06:02] hey hows it goin yall [06:02] redrobin: why the super secert grub thing? [06:03] redrobin: ok.. why don't you want grub booting the computer? you could have it on a one-second delay, and only if you catch it RIGHT at boot, would it go to ubuntu, at your say so. [06:03] redrobin: why noot make a dual boot like normal ppl? [06:03] hello every body [06:03] wow, apparently alot of hte servers for updates and stuff weren't selected... that's why i couldn't update [06:03] dhenry: This is not the functionaliy of PC-Doctor. It may be only part of it. [06:03] kc8pxy: i know it isnt his and the person would kill him if he installed linux [06:03] bullgard4: I'm not aware of a comprehensive suite similar to PC Doctor, but the pieces are there. [06:03] richiefrich: it's a complicated reason [06:03] kc8pxy: i bet thats it [06:03] richiefrich: can it be done? [06:03] freaking NO ONE is responding in eclipse ; how whack [06:03] redrobin: not your pc [06:03] richiefrich: my conclusion also. [06:03] bullgard4: Is there a specific problem you were having? [06:03] bullgard4: "sudo apt-get install hwtest hwtest-cli" then you'll find it in system->administration [06:03] anyone has luck (intelligence) on how to fix pulseaudio to play multiple sources simultaneously? [06:03] richiefrich: i dont dual boot, am i not normal? [06:04] seb, i use alsa [06:04] danielm_mc: What problem are you having with eclipse? [06:04] redrobin: sure it can but thats dumb .. and i have no idea howto install the windows boot loader .. unles you install ubuntu 1st then windows [06:04] richiefrich: it's mine. It's a really complicated reason. [06:04] danielm_mc: most channels aren't as populated as #ubuntu, leave your question there and wait... probably 3 hours, then you are allowed to rant [06:04] pulse audio wouldn't work for me neither, so i got a fix for using alsa [06:04] texas_: no your not, but are any of us [06:04] :D [06:04] seb90210: I am guessing that it's just a flash problem [06:04] ok, thanks for your help guys [06:04] redrobin: thats the only way i know [06:04] redrobin: the problem is that windows is really not going to like the journalizing disk system IIRC [06:05] * m_IRC_o fall asleep on the keyb########################################## [06:05] texas i reconfed the settings to use alsa, top says pulse still running i guess it needs a reboot (yuck, so windows) [06:05] Which is easier, on a system that was only installed a day or two ago and thus doesn't have huge piles of critical data or stuff to back up: removing Gnome from a Ubuntu Desktop install, or fragging the thing and reinstalling from the Ubuntu Server disk? [06:05] how can i find my network address in ubuntu like the ip of my router and then the address it assigns me [06:05] well night gents [06:05] how can I remove a loaded environment variable w/o rebooting? [06:05] i have a asus f6a i try to install a dualboot (vista + ubuntu) system. ubuntu works fine, but as soon as i try to boot vista, in runs in recovery mode and deletes the mbr and the linux partitions [06:05] kc8pxy: have fun! [06:05] which programming language do i have to learn and which tools to use that i can write applications/software for free at linux for linux? :) [06:05] rebel_kid: ifconfig [06:05] kc8pxy: night [06:05] how do i store the grep results into a file [06:05] richiefrich: night. [06:05] does any body know how i can fix this? [06:05] c# i believe [06:05] spanther: any programming language, however mostly C is used it seems. [06:05] spanther: any language [06:05] leo_rockw : yeah 142 members all idle [06:05] is there a decent image editing/drawing program similiar to paint.net? and no gimp cuz it sucks [06:05] robert1: throw a rock at it! [06:05] can someone please tell me how to find a keycode? [06:05] ...it's 7 in the morninf here, I forgot to sleep tonight °_° [06:05] no probs w/ flash, just say youre listening to music and want to play some game, the last one will have audio disabled [06:05] * richiefrich wonders off [06:05] xev isn't working [06:06] danielm_mc: it's late at night, people need to sleep [06:06] bombshelter13: Probably installing ubuntu server [06:06] seb90210, download and install alsa, it fixes it [06:06] Jordan_U: Hm, mm'kay, seemed like that might be the case. [06:06] okay which GUI software for linux uses C ? (editor with issue checks) [06:06] sup [06:06] spanther, google is your friend [06:06] spanther: gui can be used with any programming language. However, ASM can access any programming language's resorces ;) [06:06] texas thanx [06:07] tenbytes: add a "> out.txt" without quotes after the grep line [06:07] then cat out.txt [06:07] wow, what a bunch of losers in here [06:07] dhenry: Yes. I would like to get into operation the 4 special keys 'AccessIBM' and 3 others (volume related). Ubuntu provides a DEB program package 'tpb' for it. But installing tpb requires me to deinstall all other key combinations and the DEB program package 'ubuntu-desktop'. Synaptics discourages de-installing ubuntu-desktop. So I am in a dilemma. [06:07] only a loser would use linux i think [06:07] im having trouble compiling aircrack-ng on ubuntu 8.04 [06:07] Kohlrak: well for real i just need a name of an powerful editor to write code hehe :) [06:07] spanther: what kind of application do you have in mind? [06:07] seb90210, when you install alsa, unless it's already installed, just got to your sound prefs, and choose alsa [06:07] blake_: you are part of the channel too : ) [06:07] Any one know what driver I should use for netgear ng511t [06:07] does this have to someone else too? [06:07] spanther: gedit belive it or not. but there seems to be a war amoung emacs verses vim users (however i don't take sides since i love gedit) [06:08] im having trouble compiling aircrack-ng on ubuntu 8.04 -- my console output: http://www.pastebin.ca/1186006 [06:08] spanther: if you need suggestions for programming, pm me when i get back (gotta reboot for the kernel update) === texas_ is now known as _BOOM_ [06:08] Kohlrak: okies :) [06:08] guys can someone help me === _BOOM_ is now known as [ANAL] [06:08] !ask [06:08] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Furthermore, the package dependency sounds very weird and slightly suspicious. Anyone else want to chime in? [06:10] im having trouble compiling aircrack-ng on ubuntu 8.04 -- my console output: http://www.pastebin.ca/1186006 [06:10] eTiger13: for things that aren't so complicated they require the GIMP I like kolourpaint [06:10] spanther: all those text editors do that [06:10] alguém do brasil?

[06:29] djhash: yes [06:29] crossoffice plugin FTW! [06:29] So download wine through windows, burn it and install it ? [06:30] just fork your cash over to those guys and magically, your apps will work :P [06:30] And then use wine to grab the driver from windows? Does wine let me access windows files is that what you're saying? [06:30] <[ANUL]> i onced taken a crap that weighed 13 curicks [06:30] djhash: yeah im here, and yes im using a ubuntu computer [06:30] rebel_kid: run your browser and tell me what you see when you type in "ip_address_of_remote_computer:5900" [06:30] is Pidgin 2.5 in the repository ? [06:30] thevor, use ubuntu (sudo apt-get install wine) forget any burning....also you can use cabextract [06:31] wine comes with ubuntu 8.04?

[06:34] sudo sekyourbox [06:34] djhash: just letting ya know i got somebody that can edit settings on the remote [06:34] !sudo | sekyourbox [06:34] sekyourbox: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [06:34] sekyourbox: yes you can [06:34] rebel_kid: are the two computers in the same network or are you accessing through internet? [06:34] sekyourbox: yes and no, u cant log in as root but u can use sudo or sudo su [06:34] U know that, but i want to use su. [06:34] djhash: internet [06:34] i* [06:34] so yeah i dunno what to do [06:34] rebel_kid: is the remote computer behind a router? [06:34] sekyourbox, sudo , but if you must then sudo -i [06:35] djhash: pretty sure the setup is dsl router -> wireless router -> computer (wired) [06:36] anyhow this whole pulseaudio thing in ubuntu was a serious error to an otherwise nice distro, akin to maybe halving your network speed or displaying 1/2 of the desktop....playing 1 audio source at a time plz...what morons thought this was good [06:36] I get this...

[06:37] I have ubutun installed on my laptop, and during the boot the screen remain black until the X start with the login screen, what I need to do to see all the kernel menssages at the boot ? === francois is now known as barqs [06:37] mysteriousways__: ctrl+alt+f8 [06:37] okay as i was saying, how do I find keycodes for my next track button? it doesn't showup in xev. [06:38] ? [06:38] rebel_kid: every router is different.. but usually you use te browser to access the router's IP address, then there should be a section there to do port forwarding. just do a google search on the model of the router or if the manual is handy, it'll show you how. [06:38] One last try... Anyone know where are saved my NTP servers list? I tried to find with grep command but it tooked many hours with no results nor end. =/ [06:39] djhash: thanks so much, once i do that its just ip:port in the vnc viewer? [06:39] so anyone know how to fix mouse lag with WoW? [06:39] leo_rockw, during the boot process I mean. I think it is something to do with the grub conf [06:39] mysteriousways__: yeah, during the boot process [06:39] Can someone please help me? I've been at this for hours. [06:40] mysteriousways__: if you want to read that now do dmesg [06:40] mysteriousways__: but ctrl+alt+f8 will show you scrolling messages [06:40] mysteriousways__: or Fx for x != 7 [06:41] Anyone have a clue how to get keycodes? [06:41] barqs: did you try apt-get keycodes ;) [06:41] rebel_kid: here are a few pointers:- if you didnt change the port number, then you dont need to add port.. second.. in ubuntu it would be ip::port there are 2 : ... if you are running multiple X-sessions, then you'd do ip:displaynum:port (eg. 123.456.789.123:0:5900)... [06:42] what is the edubuntu channel? i can't seem to join #edubuntu [06:42] sekyourbox: it's not a program. It's the code that a button sends the computer when it's hit. [06:42] nevermind [06:42] tks leo_rockw ... and using grub, what can edit to make it show by default, with out the need to type control alt F8 ?

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [06:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:44] psychoman, use sudo [06:44] rebel_kid: also, make sure you have setup a password in the remote machine... i belive a blank password would deny any connections.. also check the settings in system->preferences->remote desktop.. make sure in General, at least the first two check boxes are checked, and in advanced the first check box is unchecked.. [06:44] leo_rockw: I've tried xev, it's giving me the wrong keycodes [06:44] !root [06:44] ok tnx [06:44] 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.

TWICE [06:46] leo_rockw: like i said it's STILL booting to windows.. no grub [06:47] sekyourbos: you mean u want to close a connection to one channel but not the rest? [06:47] grub appears to be a common issue among many users, its powerful and perhaps that's its problem [06:47] jayde_drag0n: http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+get+grub+back+after+installing+windows&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 [06:47] rebel_kid, yes [06:47] sekyourbox: typ /part channel [06:47] man grub man [06:47] sekyourbos: /part #channel [06:47] djhash: I run sudo hwtest-gtk. Where does this program store the information which it gathered about my computer? [06:47] jayde_drag0n: that question was answered 55500 times in google [06:48] leo_rockw: i think you don't understand me.. i did that first.. i've followed those exact directions TWICE [06:48] Last night my update manager found several Kernel updates, so I downloaded them and rebooted my system. After that, my wireless card can't be found. I am using an Atheros card, and it appears that other people are having this same problem. Google has been finding a lot of people having this same problem, but no solutions. [06:48] leo_rockw: i'm not an idiot.. i know how to use terminal and follow directions and i followed them precisely [06:48] jayde_drag0n: ok [06:48] Is there a quick fix to this problem? [06:49] leo_rockw: just because i'm a girl does not pre-determine my grey matter to be non existent [06:49] i need help wit apollon can't anyone help me [06:49] ansichart: my guess is that you installed a module for the kernel, new kernel means reinstalling the module [06:49] has anyone installed a mouse patch in irssi? [06:49] jayde_drag0n: english is not my mother tongue, I didn't even know jayde was a girl's name. so save it [06:49] Can I access my windows partition from Ubuntu 8.04 to get to a file I need? [06:50] LaW19z: You better put a specific question here in this channel. [06:50] thevor: Yes. [06:50] worst case scenario for grub, boot a live cd system, see /boot/grub/menu.lst, copy to a piece of paper then reboot to any grub and pass those parameters [06:51] leo_rockw: the only thing i can come up with is i have a partitioned drive.. i installed windows onto the secondary drive.. i did the fdisk -l linux is on sda1, windows on sda2.. the find command shows my MBR ad hd0,0.. i've done all of that [06:51] bull: I need to access some drivers to get my wireless card going. I haven't been able to transfer it over using a burned cd (ubuntu doesn't recognize that there are files on the cd). [06:51] leo_rockw: nothing gave errors and reported all worked fine [06:51] i need help configuring apollon on 8.04 [06:51] I tried sudo apt-get install wine but it says that wine isn't there. [06:51] leo_rockw, So are you saying that the module I installed is the problem... is it easy to revert back to the module I was using? [06:51] jayde_drag0n: ok, do the following... boot from a live cd, mount your ubuntu partition and pastebin your menu.lst [06:51] thevor: just mount the partition [06:52] leo_rockw: okay give me a few minutes [06:52] ansichart: what I mean is that everytime you install a new kernel you need to tell reinstall the module. i believe the new kernel is in fact the same version as the old one so you can't really go back to the old one [06:53] ansichart: just reinstall the module [06:53] Just install 3 x 40gb hdd's in an old ubuntu box but it says they cant be mounted? any help please [06:54] leo_rockw, I am not sure how to do that. My update manager did everything for me, it found some updates so I downloaded them and rebooted. [06:54] hello my fellow ubuntuers [06:54] jayde_drag0n: another thing... I don't know if it says it in the instructions, but grub starts counting from 0, meaning that if your ubuntu partition is sda3 it will be (hd0,2) [06:54] ansichart: i reckon you will have to do that again. i don't have an atheros card so google will know more about that than i [06:55] hey does neone know a terminal command for changing the screen resolution [06:55] can anyone help me i am trying to install and configure giftui i have it stalled right now but it won't connect to the networks can someone help [06:56] guys this is really bizarre... My previous track button works and so does my play/pause. however, when I try to configure next track, it doesn't work. Xev gives me the wrong keycode... [06:56] Does linux handle multiple core processes assymetrically or symmetrically? [06:56] does anyone know a command for changing the resolution in terminal [06:56] thevor: /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt has information and mount options for the NTFS filesystem (Windows NT) for Linux. (Replace 2.6.22 with your current kernel version.) [06:56] leo_rockw, I'm not even sure to know what to Google. But basically I would need to reinstall the module that the kernel uses for my wifi card. How do I know what module I had? I can't really go back and time and use lsmod. [06:56] LaW19z: you probably need to update the servers it connects to... good luck with that, I tried and tried and not succeeded, now i just use torrents === rodrigo is now known as gmaia [06:56] hey all [06:56] can someone please help me?

[07:11] jayde_drag0n: in what drive is your ubuntu installed? [07:11] well i compiled a version it still black screened [07:11] leo_rockw, I think this should work.

[07:11] leo_rockw: it should be sda1 the second largest drive..... the 20G is windows.. the 320 is my external [07:11] the_other_brand: if you compiled it then you are using the free drivers. the free drivers are still not 100% usable in most cases [07:11] <_Martin_> I speak in english and russian [07:12] ansichart: madwifi rings a bell. i believe that's exactly what you need [07:12] leo_rockw, so i should dl the propriatary ones from the ati site? [07:12] the_other_brand: most likely [07:12] okay, ill try that [07:12] seb90210: no such luck unfortunately Neither option provides me with anything, even static [07:12] the_other_brand: here is an ubuntuforums thread related to your issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=874576 it contains a link to the correct drivers [07:12] jayde_drag0n: cd /media && ls -l [07:13] leo_rockw, I compiled and installed it before, I needed it to extend some capabilities of my card so I could put it in monitor mode, otherwise I couldn't.

[07:40] what do i with the apache2 that's already on there and running? can i simply just stop that one,and proceed with installation of the LAMP version? or will there be problems? [07:41] AeronTS: If you installed it via the package manager then it's just the same thing, it will no it's already installed and not try to re-install it [07:41] AeronTS: you can.. sudo apt-get install mysql php5 apache2 [07:42] see ya [07:42] what is theh linux addon that gives you the docking bar at the bottom similar to osx [07:42] and backup /var/www and any custom apache confs [07:42] OmgItsAShark: AWN [07:42] thank you very much [07:42] HOLY MACKERAL, that's a 59mb file, i'm on dialup 8( [07:43] AeronTS: is that apache2 installed by ubuntu? if so you can keep it. if not you can't [07:43] aww mn i gotta install comfiz === hiptobecubic is now known as hiptobecubic^3 [07:44] AeronTS: Do you plan on using MySQL, if not then it's not really necessary to install it if you just want to mess with PHP [07:44] wols: i installed apache2 with apt === hiptobecubic^3 is now known as hiptobecubic [07:44] AeronTS: then that part should be fine. and yes php+mysql is just about that size :) [07:44] where can i download .deb of hydra-gtk [07:44] Jordan_U: i am sorta thinking of using MySQL, i have a weight loss program i've been doing on paper, that i'd like to convert to a program [07:44] or GTKhydra? [07:45] could i just remove apache2 with apt, then? if i'm going to use LAMP, i'd rather everything be clean, and install the whole enchilada :) [07:46] AeronTS: you could get on a fsater connection, download the package, put it on a CD or a thumbdrive, then install it on ur computer [07:46] AeronTS: purge apache2.2-common rather [07:46] AeronTS: but if you used the apache2 package from ubuntu it shouldn't be necessary [07:47] AeronTS: there is no LAMP package.. you are going to simply install each package seperately.. so dont remove apache so you only have to reinstall it.. [07:47] yo [07:47] AeronTS: LAMP is just an acronym.. its not a real package.. [07:47] wols, how do i purge it? i installed it with apt [07:47] orgthingy, i have the link, but i much recommend you to use medusa instead. same functionality [07:48] but, with that tar file everything would be in one place, good enough for me [07:48] df -h [07:48] magnetron : oh, thanks, ill try both [07:48] AeronTS: what tar file?

[09:10] ubottu help with awn plz [09:10] Kartagis: yes [09:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:10] richard: the EDID information your monitor is advertising [09:10] i need helop with awn [09:10] !awn | Guest67728 [09:10] Guest67728: Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy [09:10] dexem: getting it now, thx [09:10] Kartagis: !pastebin the output of : grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config [09:11] Hasnt Heron got a failsafe key when video goes awry user can press a key during boot to force Safe Video Mode?? === mandragor is now known as weedar [09:11] alistair_: it should do that on its own, if it can't work with your driver display, it will load fail safe drivers [09:12] ikonia, I wished! [09:12] VipOrX, http://pastebin.com/f57dd4bf5 [09:12] help with awn installation please [09:12] alistair_: just explain the issue [09:13] Guest67728: what's the problem ? [09:13] ? [09:13] how do i get it to start when ubuntu starts [09:13] Guest67728: how did you install it [09:13] ikonia, have installed Heron on 3 pc each has had some form of video problem and one gave me major it was an integrated VIA board I had to use Safe Video Mode on the install disk, then eventually install when it was running from the desktop that finally worked [09:14] terminal [09:14] Kartagis: I see you are allowing root login, are you SSHed into root and trying to run remote gedit? [09:14] Guest67728: from the ubuntu repo's ? [09:14] I sort of thought webmin could help me with getting my router up, can ebox do that as well? [09:14] my server as a router, that is [09:14] notwist: no [09:14] ikonia, ok I see the information in the xorg log with the modeline information... [09:14] ikonia, there is an issue with Heron recognising video the forum is full of such comments [09:14] VipOrX, no, I am logged as user [09:14] notwist: well, depands how you chose to confgire it === t33x is now known as tee [09:14] i dont really know what that means [09:14] yeah [09:14] alistair_: those video cards are known to be bad [09:14] Kartagis: did ssh -Y user@box work? [09:14] ikonia, (well fairly full)! [09:15] some guy had me run it directly from the terminal [09:15] hey people, one silly question, i want ubuntu based distro that runs from the USB Flash and doesn't take a lot of space :D [09:15] alistair_: if you use the vesa driver - I'm sure it will work [09:15] and with instructions [09:15] ikonia, I am just having a battle with a PC which worked before, now it has stopped I tried device = vesa but now the resolution is rubbish [09:15] using the synaptic package manager worked...installed libflash0c2, libflash-mozplugin and libflash-swfplayer [09:15] Guest67728: try reading this: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=180712 [09:16] seems to have cleared up the problem [09:16] ikonia, max resolution now is 800x600 before it was 1024 x 768 or thereabouts [09:16] hard to troubleshoot because it doesnt always skip...have to watch videos now to find out [09:16] lol [09:16] but so far so good [09:16] alistair_: what did you change [09:16] VipOrX, no it didn't work [09:16] just device = vesa [09:17] thank all for your support [09:17] alistair_: yes, thats teh fail save driver [09:17] alistair_: so it won't support high res [09:17] thank you so much [09:17] ikonia, Im just about to reinstall Ubuntu on this machine because been mucking around for ages [09:17] alistair_: ok? [09:17] ikonia: how do i add more modules to ebox? [09:17] ikonia, Im not sure if you are on dev team?? [09:17] alistair_: I'm not [09:18] notwist: which modules do you need? [09:18] it should be as simple as apt-get install ebox-foo if they exist [09:18] anna [09:18] ikonia, pity, I was going to suggest that there is some methods used to failsafe when the failsafe system doesnt work! [09:18] dexem: some to make my computer a working router with maybe some nice features. got dhcp3 already so not that [09:18] ikonia, for example: [09:18] alistair_: that would be a pointless suggestion [09:18] dexem: so which ones should i get? [09:19] my boot menu comes very late [09:19] notwist: you can see some features here: http://ebox-platform.com/product/features/ [09:19] On the PC in question, if it boots normally, the screen is corrupt. If boot disk is used and F4=Safe Video then it loads up, resolution is fine, and shes sweet [09:19] Kartagis: if SSH server is allowing X11Forwarding and your using -X or -Y to run remote gedit, it should work unless you made some custom xorg.conf setting or other customizations [09:20] dexem: ok i got "network" and "samba", lets see if it works [09:20] notwist: if that looks ok for you, then you can go to #ebox and ask about you current configuration and how to migrate to ebox [09:20] alistair_: it's pointless explaining this [09:20] Then if you install from that desktop, it will install with the correct resolution eg much higher than can get currently [09:20] alistair_: thats not how it works, and I don't think it should be changed so it's pointless to continue explaining it [09:20] ikonia, ok tks anyway [09:22] Kartagis: is your ssh client running -X on linux? [09:23] Hey all === andatche_ is now known as andatche [09:24] how do i change my text color [09:24] is there some application firewall on ubuntu that notifiy me if an app is trying to listen to a port or make a connection [09:25] and allow or deny it ?

[09:35] yes [09:35] like any personal firewall on windows [09:38] can someone tell me what the numbers that begin every line of /var/log/kern.log mean? [09:38] my boot menu takes a long time to appear. my bootloader is grub and I dual boot ubuntu with XP Will anybody help me ? [09:38] visik7: off hand, I don't know if ufw can restrict outbound, anything that will notify a user of outbound connections.... you could always use a net monitor to see all active inbound/outbound connections [09:38] OmgItsAshark: I can try help you if you want to [09:39] visik7: like tcpdump [09:39] VipOrX: yes I know but something more userfriendly I'm installing ubuntu on a friend computer and he can't live without this fake sense of security [09:40] hello [09:40] want to ask [09:40] visik7: dunno, tcpdump will certainly show ALL in/out connections and where everything is going, if he doesnt mind watching the terminal === Terry is now known as Guest95743 [09:41] nfs is not alredy installed in ubuntu? [09:41] VipOrX: Is not the solution [09:41] visik7: and there are some GUI frontends to tcpdump [09:41] salaz: I don't think so [09:41] do we have to installed it manually in synaptics? [09:41] salaz: at least the user space server [09:41] visik7: what do u mean? [09:41] visik7: yes there is wireshark [09:41] ops [09:41] I talk to myself :) [09:41] err [09:41] VipOrX: yes there is wireshark [09:42] salaz: there is a kernel version and a userspace version of nfs server (and client too) [09:42] visik7: so dats mean i have to install rite? [09:42] hey people. How can I use gfxboot in ubuntu. There is a thread which explains it but doesn't use the standard Ubuntu pacakges (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855). SInce I am running amd64 I can't use the deb provided there. I have no clue what I can do with the standard ubuntu packages for gfxboot and the gfxboot-theme-* packages. [09:42] salaz: which ? [09:43] visik7: i've instaled the userspace version, do i need to install for the server also? [09:43] I 'd like to get rich of the standard black and white bootmenu but don't know how [09:43] salaz: no [09:43] salaz: they do the same thing [09:43] salaz: one in kernelspace the other in userspace [09:43] weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [09:44] visik7: owh, i understand now [09:44] Hi, I would like some help. I just installed MythTV. But when I run it, it's pixelated beyond recognition. [09:44] francois: have you tuned and fine tuned? [09:44] ActionParsnip: I don't think so.

I use a tv card back in the day and did some fine tuning [09:46] francois: id flick through settings to make sure its all ok [09:46] ActionParsnip: Okay, will do.

[09:58] !screenlet | immy123 [09:58] immy123: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [09:58] oh, cool [09:59] immy123: it is like a widget, nice effect [09:59] * ActionParsnip marks down another eyecandy prisoner [10:00] k i'll try it [10:00] sup guys [10:00] am new in linux world [10:00] welcome asare [10:00] thanks man [10:00] * ActionParsnip expects a compiz question [10:00] asare, i'm pretty new too [10:00] i have question, how to install others package like .rpm in ubuntu? do i have to install the rpm package manager first? or can i convert the .rpm file to .deb? [10:00] good to see someone like me :) [10:00] !alien | salaz [10:00] salaz: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [10:01] so i love what am experience so f [10:01] salaz, u can use alien to convert from one package to another [10:01] Flannel: do u know that .rpm also can be installed in ubuntu? [10:01] salaz: try and find a deb [10:01] salaz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto [10:01] salaz: what you installing? [10:01] oh [10:01] ok [10:01] salaz: whats the rpm install? [10:01] salaz: They won't work well together though. rpm won't know about apts packages and v.v. [10:02] hey, salaz r u jst checkin our knowledge in linux or r u serious? [10:02] rpm doesn't wrk in ubuntu right? [10:02] nope..its my task to do the research on that and implement it [10:02] can work [10:02] i once tried to install one n it ddnt wrk [10:02] i have few questions to ask is there any one who is familar with Unbuntu server [10:02] immy123: you can convert but its STRONGLY advised not to bothe [10:02] immy123: Ubuntu is a deb distro, yes. [10:02] asare: ask away, its the same as the desktop essentially [10:03] ActionParsnip: why it is not encourage to do so? it will corrupted the system? [10:03] salaz: it can, yes [10:03] salaz: one doesn't know what the other is doing. [10:03] ok will i have to server installed but it only gave me a command line no graphics [10:04] asare: Correct [10:04] so, it seems that ubuntu is slow to get my usb keyboard and mouse to work. It takes about 10 seconds after the desktop is loaded untill they light up and start working. It never used to do this, any one know what might be causing it? [10:04] asare: then you need to install x and a desktop environment [10:04] Flannel: oh ok..i guess its dangerous [10:04] but dnt wry Jabber [10:04] they'll fix it in the next release [10:04] its there any way i can get it go like desktop? [10:04] asare: why did you get the server version if you want a desktop? [10:04] ubuntu is improvin at a very fast pace [10:04] i know [10:04] asare: sudo apt-get fluxbox should sort you out [10:04] well i want to run a sever [10:05] immy123: well, it depends if it is a problem the devs know about [10:05] asare: desktop can run a server [10:05] asare: Is this your main box? [10:05] n windows is going backwards in terms of improvement ;) [10:05] vista da best example [10:05] !u | immy123 [10:05] immy123: 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.. [10:05] asare: you can install any ubuntu app on any of the other multitude of ubuntus [10:05] Flannel: whats the probability the rpm package will disturb the system? is highly not encourage or is it just not encourage to do so? [10:05] OH MY GOD [10:05] ubottu, you my friend win [10:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:05] hmm then that means i can't use shorten forms [10:06] salaz: id say high [10:06] Damn it [10:06] asare: Linux makes no differentiation between a "server" and a "desktop" they're both just programs. If you're looking to run a few server programs on your regular box, you're better off installing desktop, and then adding them. [10:06] So... does Ubuntu (or the kernel in general) support RAM hotplugging? [10:06] ok, ok i won't do it in the future [10:06] ActionParsnip: ok [10:06] immy123: Thta's correct. It's extremely difficult for non-native speakers to follow. [10:06] asare: youve made yourself a tonne of extra work and at the end you're going to have a desktop install just slower [10:06] ok, but i'm a non-native speaker as well. ;) [10:06] well i will try that and see [10:07] how do i remove programs? [10:07] add/remove in the main menu [10:07] asare: the command i gave you will install fluxbox and all its dependancies which will include x [10:07] me too non-native english speaker ;0 [10:07] asare: If you're going to use it for a regular desktop, after you install ubuntu-desktop, you'll also want to install linux-generic, and then next boot remove linux-server [10:07] uncheck it and hit apply button [10:07] ok [10:07] i swear i am blind [10:07] OmgItsAshark: you can use synaptic or apt-get [10:08] is it apt-get remove [10:08] or apt-get install --remove [10:08] well i will install desktop to be free from all this pbl am getting ma self into [10:08] immy123: you need ssudo for apt-get [10:08] well is later here guys i ga to bed up [10:08] immy123: sudo apt-get --purge remove ; sudo apt-get clean [10:08] work in the morning [10:08] ActionParsnip: no need to clean [10:08] yaw_asare@hotmail.com [10:08] why does purge come there [10:08] Flannel: was meant to be autoremove but had a brain spazz [10:09] later actionparsnip later [10:09] immy123: it removes the configs for the app, a proper remove [10:09] ActionParsnip: autoremove probably isn't what you want anyway. [10:09] asare: peace [10:09] oh, then how about the GUI removal [10:09] Flannel: why not? it removes orphaned deps [10:09] i usually do that way [10:09] peace to ya'll [10:09] Flannel: is it if i convert the rpm file to deb, it will be much more safer? [10:09] immy123: in synaptic, "complete removal" is the same as purge [10:09] purge in DoTa?huhu [10:09] salaz: yes, but you should try and find a deb. [10:09] oh, then what im doing is also ok. [10:10] salaz: what is the name of the deb you have? [10:10] heres a question...why can only root run alien?? [10:10] ActionParsnip: I know what it does, but doing that automatically can sometimes remove things you don't want removed. [10:10] only sudo can but not root right? [10:10] Flannel: thanx, like i told u be4,its just a task 4me to do, i'm not gonna install it ;-) [10:11] immy123: to you, sudo == root [10:11] ActionParsnip: i dont want to install it, juz want to know how to install n convert it, thanx to both of u [10:11] but i read somewhere that root and super user are two different things [10:11] sudo is a means by which you become root temporarily. It's not root. [10:11] salaz: do try and find a deb [10:11] http://yci.takingitglobal.org/ind/yawasare [10:11] oh, so that's it, thanks for explanation Flannel. [10:11] ActionParsnip: damn, i've told u many times haha..i'm not gonna install it! ;-o [10:12] Flannel: to a user its the same deal, it gves them the acces they need. You are right it isnt ACTUAL root, but its equivelant access [10:12] asare: Please don;t do that here. [10:12] salaz: good [10:12] ActionParsnip: it's an important distinction. [10:12] by the way, why doesn't ubuntu have a good site so that users can download s/w and share it among them? [10:12] salaz: I have gens installed from rpm but I dont care if my system falls over and I wanted some fun [10:13] Hi! I cant get DPMS to work correctly on my MSI Wind laptop - after the timeout, the screen blanks for 1 second, but then comes back up. How do I fix/debug this? [10:13] immy123: they do, they are the repos [10:13] ok2..now i'm asking about nfs...what is it actually do? [10:13] hmm. [10:13] salaz: nfs == network file system? [10:13] ActionParsnip: haha..u r a hardcore [10:13] ActionParsnip: yes [10:13] salaz: You should ask that in another channel, perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support related questions, not general info stuff. [10:13] salaz: between what and what? [10:14] Flannel: sorry, just asking [10:14] but i recently saw in a blog, some users ranting that ubuntu doesn't have a good site that'll help users to download and share s/w [10:14] ActionParsnip: server and client? [10:14] i know that the repos is available [10:14] salaz: im not hardcore im just familiar with the stupid acronymns in this industry [10:14] but that doesn't let a user to download a s/w and then give it to his friends [10:15] just like burning an iso image of ubuntu and giving to his friends [10:15] immy123: check apt-get switches, you can simply download the rpm but not install it [10:15] immy123: it downloads to /var/apt/cache [10:15] immy123: You can do that with the repositories, yes. See aptonCD [10:15] ActionParsnip: I did install all updates, but that didnt fix my DPMS problems [10:15] you mean we can download s/w installation files?

[10:18] Mithsir: have you got Option "DPMS" in your xorg.conf? [10:18] salaz: Ubuntu supports a great deal of graphics chipsets. As for that particular laptop, it will depend on its hardware. [10:19] Slart: i think you mean ubuntu studio [10:19] Mithsir: should be in Section "Monitor" [10:19] ActionParsnip: yes [10:19] salaz: You'll have to check it out yourself, or at least google around for it. [10:19] hmm. aptonCD seems to be cool. but what if there's a site for users to get to know about various s/w [10:19] the latest ones as well [10:19] Flannel: ok, i'll look after it [10:19] immy123: again websearch round to see what you can find [10:19] they also can rate them. and give their comments [10:19] hello [10:19] ya know i havent installed a damn driver for my ubuntu yet [10:19] nothing [10:19] ActionParsnip: from my Xorg.0.log: "(**) intel(0): DPMS enabled" [10:19] hello [10:19] not my printer... cell phone... wireless card [10:19] but everything at one site would be great. right?

[10:20] Mithsir: you can also run xset -q [10:20] simmerz: you need to mount with user writability [10:21] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu is auto mounting, so it should do so automatically... [10:21] scuser: sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:21] ActionParsnip: "DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 1200 Off: 1800 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On" [10:21] anyone there who could help with locating my dvd rom drive I need to know where its mounted or what ext to look in...

[10:35] i think the banning is per box [10:35] what? box or ip? what do you mean? [10:36] ip is the internet address you use [10:36] justin__: do they ban your xbox or your WAN IP [10:36] ya your box is forever locked out [10:36] box will be the serial number(GUID maybe) [10:36] justin__: just trying to get more info.

[10:39] My problem is [10:39] Dzero: could you please explain what does wrong or right means ? [10:39] !fstab [10:39] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [10:39] there is not libldap_r.so.2 file but I have /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2.0.5 [10:39] justin__, did you try: dmesg | grep dvd [10:39] scuser: if you sudo fdisk -l do you see the sda8? [10:39] how can I use symbolic link to link them together? [10:39] i have a problem with usplash returning to the console before loading X [10:40] so the background appears [10:40] of the console [10:40] fsloke: indeed [10:40] ActionParsnip: yes [10:40] fsloke: if its needed in /usr/lib you will need sudo [10:40] I typed that in but what is that between dmesg and grep dvd?

[10:41] how do I know whether my SAMBA is secured by SSH or not [10:41] KazaLite, yes [10:41] fsloke: yes [10:41] KazaLite: yes it would [10:41] It installed [10:41] KazaLite, but if its LGPL your ok [10:42] but the version different... Now I try to point the old version to the new version [10:42] ActionParsnip: should I format sda8 only or any other partition, and with which filesystem ? [10:42] I try to "Cheat" The application... [10:42] thank you i found that but when I adjust the code in terminal for the burn this is what comes up unable to open64("cd/rw",O_RDONLY [10:42] scuser: id use ext3 [10:42] How can I do this? [10:43] fsloke: it sometimes has to be done that way [10:43] fsloke: cd to the folder in terminal [10:43] sudo ln -s ./existingfilename ./filenameyouwantto exist [10:44] then [10:44] ActionParsnip: I used parted utility to format and found that sda8 is formatted ext3, what do you think I should do ? [10:44] it also says directory doesnt exist [10:44] scuser: can you mount it? [10:45] ActionParsnip: No, mount: can't find /dev/sda8 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab :( [10:45] scuser, you sure your pointing to the right game image? [10:45] scuser: doesnt need to be in either [10:46] scuser, sorry confused you with justin__ [10:46] scuser: sudo mkdir /mnt/test; sudo mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/test [10:46] if i cant mount a networked drive is it possible the drive is fooked? ive been playing with shares on it and i think the drives had it, its like a 120gig drive and ive had it packed with 119 gig left on for many months :s?

[10:49] nope its a windows share on the local network [10:49] scuser: ok then the disk is healthy. rm ./andy.txt [10:49] nnull: ok so whats your issue? [10:50] ActionParsnip: this means that I can write to the /dev/sda8, so ?? [10:50] actually i want to write an application that will not be open source and will be sold to clients but this application would use/rely upon libraries that fall under GPL like libpart etc so if i use these GPLed libraries will i have to make all my code open source? [10:50] KazaLite: correct [10:50] scuser: it means the drive is healthy and being read correctly [10:51] KazaLite: this is the good thing with the GPL :) [10:51] ActionParsnip: i cant mount it, just says unable to mount, or mount failed, so i run a chkdsk on it and it gets to phase 4of5 and basically feezes does about 1% every 2 hours i left it for about half a day [10:51] then how to make money?:P [10:51] hello can someone help me with multisync [10:51] KazaLite: write the code yourself [10:51] KazaLite: if you release it too, ten folks might add stuff to your project and help you make it better [10:51] http://rafb.net/p/jSbo4X47.html this is my settings [10:51] KazaLite, this is offtopic here.

I usually almost always add my computer name to hostname and the ip boxname.networkname.com boxname .. to my hosts file .. but got to thinking a minute ago where else I can tag things to make roaming the network easier? [11:03] NineTeen67Comet: hostname [11:03] hi, what group do you need to be in for the add/remove apps menu option to appear? [11:03] actualy scrap the dmesg idea dmesg has no info about the device name [11:03] YES!!!!! ITS WORKING!!!!! [11:03] or can i add a group [11:03] ActionParsnip: thank you much .. I like when I'm on the right track .. =) [11:03] you guys rock!! [11:03] NineTeen67Comet: hostname specifies hostname [11:03] ideally i would like to add a group for add/remove apps [11:03] dobarden [11:04] NineTeen67Comet: hosts allows you to add ip resolutions locally [11:04] justin__, you didnt have a blank disk in before? [11:04] i did [11:04] but [11:04] Dzero: haha [11:04] * Dzero bangs head on desk [11:04] ActionParsnip: that's what I've always assumed .. I almost always fill out my hosts with all my machines ip address, boxname.domain boxname info anyhow .. seems to make looking around the network quicker .. [11:05] NineTeen67Comet: indeed it can [11:05] I just downloaded Open Office 3.0 beta, and it was a tar ball full of .deb files inside a folder labeled "DEBS", it also has a couple of other folders, and one file labeled "update"... the update file appears to be some sort of script... I was just wondering, how should I go about installing this? [11:05] I figured out that it wasnt dev/hdc it was dev/sr0 [11:05] ActionParsnip: Thanks much none the less, I just had a minute and it's a question that's burned in the back of my mind from my Gentoo days and could have "sworn" the hostname file is where my machine showed it's colors on the network .. [11:05] FuRom: sudo dpkg -i ./*.deb [11:06] FuRom: make sure your working dir is that folder [11:06] * NineTeen67Comet watches XMOTO update levels .. for ever [11:06] FuRom: you could just get it from repos [11:06] ActionParsnip, thanks.

[11:08] i, I want to run something by you guys. I have set up "ufw" using "gufw". I added ufw to "sessions". Am I correct to think that next time I start my computer, ufw will be correctly configured and running the background? [11:08] FuRom: yes and it will install the deb files [11:08] ActionParsnip, thanks a million ^_^ [11:08] FuRom: if they need deps run sudo apt-get -f install [11:08] the other thing is I have been mencoding mkv files to avi so I can watch high def movies on my PS3 but for some reason they dont want to seem to play anyone had this issue? its a standard xvid avi file [11:09] ActionParsnip, I think all the deps are actually in here with them.

[11:30] hi - I just have a question [11:31] ActionParsnip: ok but what about the file permission, i wish to change a file but have that file with their permission, do i have to change permission afterwards manually or it keeps the user account permission?

It's not that junglediskmonitor is missing. Are you sure you can run it? [11:33] I ask this because I installed ubuntu, and the display was skewed badly so I installed kubuntu - or rather did the apt-get command... and am running kde - and games still do not work properly and I cannot play dvd's its just getting very frustrating [11:33] jrib: rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8471118 2008-08-27 06:20 /usr/bin/junglediskmonitor [11:33] ActionParsnip: hmm?

[11:57] samphippen: then fix your physical security [11:57] samphippen: they will need your root pass I believe, try it [11:57] samphippen: if you are paranoid, set a bios password [11:57] samphippen: why are you so paranoid? [11:58] ActionParsnip, because I just am [11:58] if they have access to the machine you are screwed anyway. they could just rip the drive out and mount it from another machine, or boot the machine from CD or whatever [11:58] anyone help me? [11:58] linxeh: not if the fs is encrypted [11:58] I think its time to set a bios password [11:58] vatts: which baloon? [11:58] bios passwords can be bypassed too, samphippen [11:58] samphippen: you really are paranoid [11:58] ActionParsnip: depends what is encrypted, and where the keys are. if the machine can boot without encryption keys then only a subset of the data is encrypted anyway [11:58] ActionParsnip: try run notify-send "hai" and you'll see [11:59] if you haven't got libnotify-bin install it, ActionParsnip [11:59] Slart: what if he puts his box in a safe!? [11:59] samphippen: what exactly have you got encrypted ? [11:59] hey guys do you know of any software to produce sound waves in ubuntu? [11:59] linxeh, top level secrets [11:59] hey guys.. i remember installing dapper from a windows installer or from within the livecd which allowed me to modify the current windows partition so i could install ubuntu there. 8.04 doesn't give me this option.. am i doing something wrong? [11:59] chuy_max: as in synthesis? [11:59] samphippen: and lets not forget.. they can put a bag over your head and tickle your feet until you tell them all your passwords.. [11:59] being able to login as root without a password in recovery mode is the least you should worry about when it comes to security. If some malevolent guy manages to sit down at your computer and wants to do something nsty with it he'll probably take the whole computer anyway... [11:59] Slart, YAY FOR truecrypt-hidden-mode [12:00] linxeh: I want to specify frequency and hear that wave [12:00] samphippen: if it was top secret stuff you'd be working in an acredited SCIF, so the chances are this wouldnt be an issue [12:00] modify the partition meaning create a new linux partition out of the shortened windows partition [12:00] chuy_max: you can do that easily with Audacity [12:00] linxeh, i didn't say it was expensive top secret stuff [12:00] Bobb: search for "wubi" on cd [12:00] jrib: then they will just go in via a vent and use some high tech gear to hang in a wire from the ceiling (not dropping sweat drops on the pressure sensitive floor) and hack it from there.. =) [12:00] negge, oh really?, I'm downloading it right away [12:00] chuy_max: just use the Generate Tone thing in the menus and choose which Hz you want it on [12:01] samphippen: you think truecrypt will save you when they start tickling?.. [12:01] chuy_max: it's really easy, I used it to test how deep base my speakers could play [12:01] and how high too [12:01] samphippen: if it is "top secret" then cost doesnt come into it, although maybe you didnt mean that [12:01] vatts: but does this create a new linux partition? [12:01] vatts: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=164233 [12:01] linxeh, its top secret to me, the individual [12:01] Bobb: wubi asks you all [12:01] as it could be a major cashcow for me one day [12:01] vatts: from the previous screen to that one is says it doesn't modify the windows partition, it just makes room for ubuntu [12:03] samphippen: if you just have some things you want to keep hidden use truecrypt.. they can still boot the system but your secret stuff will be a little harder to get [12:03] remember guys, when installing new operating systems which in some way alter your partitions you should always back up your important files just inc ase anything goes wrong... [12:03] Slart, if they start ticlking my feet I give them the password that opens the hidden volume [12:03] negge, do you think it is accurate?, I'm generating a 30khz wave and I can still hear it perfectly [12:03] Slart, it has some old credit card numbers and stuff in there that are now invalid [12:03] negge you are exactly right [12:04] negge: should have a regular backup anyways [12:04] chuy_max: I have no idea, maybe it depends on the bit-depth you chose for the track and what kind of sound card you have. If you put it to 440 Hz it sounds quite accurate to me (although I'm not that good at this) [12:04] samphippen: if someone comes after you they probably have a pretty good idea of what they are searching for.. I don't think they will stop because they find some credit card numbers.. but this is getting very very offtopic [12:04] negge, also it happens below 20 hz, humans are not supposed to hear below 20hz and above 20khz [12:04] ActionParsnip: indeed [12:05] chuy_max: it's probably aliasing. that's beyond human hearing range and besides, you'd need >60khz sample rate for that [12:05] negge, mmm, I think you are right, probably it is my audio card [12:05] so is there an a ubuntu installer that creates a linux partition from free windows space anymore? [12:05] nesw, :o [12:05] chuy_max: well if you put it to 1 Hz and crank up the volume real high you'll see that th woofers are moving exactly once a second. [12:05] samphippen: actually, it would be a pretty good idea if you could have a "compromise-password" that if entered would delete all the data [12:05] that's interesting [12:05] Bobb: the regular one can shrink ntfs partitions, afaik [12:05] Bobb: the one on the desktop cd should be able to do that [12:05] jrib, the problem with that is taht the could install a write blocker [12:05] negge: i love these idots with gigs of MP3s and zero backup. Then come whining and crying when the partition fails. Hilarious every time [12:05] jrib, you really need to strap a magnesium flare to your drive for that kind of thing [12:06] jrib: if someone went as far as to put a bag on his head and tickle his feet until he told them his password I think erasing all the data would make the situation way worse [12:06] jrib: the livecd says "install and uninstall ubuntu like any other application, without the need for a dedicated partition.."

[12:15] and a tutorial :) [12:15] yao_ziyuan: then if you are using a deb id remove the old [12:15] ActionParsnip: i mean, ubuntu repos' latest tor isn't the official latest at torproject.org [12:15] do you know which is the best media player for ubuntu?

[13:29] That's pretty bad for something as common as Flash. [13:29] well then i have no idea ssdt [13:29] Xavura, You have adobe to thank for that [13:29] Any reason why autofs wouldn't unmount a share when left un-accessed overnight? [13:29] Xavura: Because Adobe can't make a version of Flash that works with modern sound processing. [13:29] it just don't show the option screen [13:29] of ubuntu and windows [13:29] Xavura: tell it to adobe [13:29] They can [13:30] See: Windows, Mac OS [13:30] Xavura: They aren't then.

[13:30] Or why not a community package for Flash, like Ubuntu does for other things? [13:30] your bootloader settings in windows ssdt [13:30] scientus, Xavura: When libflashsupport is installed flash becomes unstable, when it is uninstalled, you can't use sound with both flash and for example VLC, so you'll have to close and restart before switching what aplication you want sound with, this is the sucky part of Hardy... [13:30] thats your problem [13:30] from where can I get official sources.lst? [13:30] you ahve to set it to allways show the bootloader probably [13:30] Xavura: there are several. gnash, swfdec, etc [13:30] Ienorand: But one app using sound at a time will work? [13:31] i forget exactally where that is but it is in settings [13:31] i mean system [13:31] Xavura, There are a few of them they just arent up to scratch yet [13:31] Xavura: Normally yes... [13:31] Flynsarmy: wols: Thanks, I'll wait until they mature [13:31] Ienorand: Define normally. [13:31] Ienorand, before in gutsy i had flash where flash liked to use another sound card, but i fixed that and everyhting worked [13:31] I only ever use one application that uses sound at once [13:32] I can deal with that, depending on what you mean by "normally". [13:32] i want to change the minimize effect of compiz on advance ccsm. i dont have the minimize effect activated. how do i change the minimize theme? [13:32] Ienorand, will it be that problem or was there a regression that that was used to fix [13:32] wers: #compiz-fusion [13:32] scientus, is it in windows?

[14:54] somewhere there must be a list of groups that are set to be admin [14:55] for example I might create a group permachine, and add users to it who can admin the system [14:55] incorrect: the only group set to be admin is admin itself [14:55] i am having resizing issues with pidgin. i was trying out pekwm and accidentally maximized the buddy list window, ever since then (even after attempting to restore the window size in pek), no matter what wm i'm in, i can't get pidgin to resize horizontally. [14:55] or i might create a departmental group who can admin [14:56] erUSUL: can this be changed? [14:56] incorrect: is the only one alowed to use sudo by default [14:56] incorrect, the admin groups is not really special except for the fact that sudoers allows its members to execute sudo [14:56] erUSUL: not talking about sudo [14:56] incorrect: you can edit sudoers and add another group with all or some administrative privileges [14:56] sigh [14:56] i guess you guys have not tried this [14:56] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/43354 [14:57] there are a number of nice gui tools that allow people to install apps [14:57] Who is a mount expert? [14:57] etc [14:57] incorrect: I'm not sure how these users are going to 'administrate' without being in sudoers, either by groups or by name. [14:57] incorrect: yes you are the only way to admin an ubuntu machine effectively is through sudo so sudoers is the conf file [14:57] Pici: they are in sudo [14:57] but i am not asking how to use visudo [14:57] incorrect: all those apps works thanks to sudo (gksu) [14:58] Pici: to be more specific, I was loading gOS in Virtualbox on my Ubuntu machine - I'm wondering if other Ubuntu users have had any luck with it [14:58] nano -w /etc/sudoers >>>> visudo [14:58] I'm getting this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/123773 , is there anything I can do? is that safe to ignore it? everything seems to work fine [14:58] Launchpad bug 123773 in ifupdown "'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias" [Undecided,Confirmed] [14:58] Pici: please don't be so quick to criticize me and send me to another channel [14:58] i am having resizing issues with pidgin. i was trying out pekwm and accidentally maximized the buddy list window, ever since then (even after attempting to restore the window size in pek), no matter what wm i'm in, i can't get pidgin to resize horizontally. [14:58] 2erUSUL: funny thing is that xorg.conf is absolutely unchanged: in all sections there is "Configured video/keyboard/mouse/whatever". Is that normal?

[15:02] Jancsi, then you may have a bad burn [15:02] unop: yeah I know, but I find visudo annoying :S [15:02] incorrect, right, that's one of the ways gksu/gksudo works .. you can execute an app as another user [15:03] anyone know if ubuntu will run on an intel platform for 64 cores and 1TB memory ?

[15:05] incorrect, for the first ip I have address, netmask, network, broadcast and gateway. for the other 4 I have just address and netmask [15:05] bizhang: because the regular ubuntu need 4 gb hd [15:05] and 4 gb is all i have [15:05] Nom-: I'm unaware of how well/badly ubuntu scales for 64 cores... However, for something like that its probably better to compile your own custom distro [15:05] Jancsi, you have the 2gb?

[15:22] unop: however unless the user is a member of the local admins, the gui tools do not work as intented [15:23] unop: i do not want to add users to the local admins, [15:23] incorrect, this leads me to believe that either group membership is not setup properly for these users or sudoers does not recognise these groups [15:24] incorrect, have you verified group membership?

[16:48] xintron, not really though you can have a read in these two files /etc/init.d/{README,skeleton} [16:48] Abracadabra, in what context? [16:48] I am wondering what this command does: "sudo rm -rf {} \;" [16:48] APPARENTLY TO DELETE DIRECTORIES RECURSIVELY [16:48] ooops< sorry for the caps [16:48] Abracadabra, on its own.. that command means nothing .. but i presume that is part of a find command [16:49] any idea?

[16:49] <[0x41]> when i try to view files in my cdrom drive it tells me, couldn't display /media/cdrom0 .... also won't eject the cd any ideas ? [16:49] unop: so, I can basically copy /etc/init.d/skeleton and make my own (with the corresponding functions for unrealircd {start|stop|etc...} and then use the "update-rc.d unreal start 20 3"? [16:50] xintron, right, exactly [16:50] unop: i would hope so. because sudo rm -rf is probably the most dangerous combo, in the wrong context :) [16:50] unop: oh, good. So, if I set unreal to 20 3, should anope have like 21 3 (starting just afterwards? [16:50] xintron, though you might want to start these much later in the boot process .. so update-rc.d unreal start 70 2 3 4 5 . [16:51] kc8pxy, please dont type that here [16:51] kc8pxy, that could quite legitimately been a very valid command. [16:51] have* [16:51] unop: ah, could you write what you would use for unreal and anope then (anope should start later than unreal) [16:51] Hi folks. I have really bad audio performance with mplayer/smplayer. It's like half the volume I have with totem (doesn't matter if I use totem-gstreamer or totem-xine). Why is that and how can I change that?

[16:54] yao_ziyuan: It usually means that you used apt-get upgrade and those files have new dependencies, which would only get pulled in if you used apt-get dist-upgrade. [16:54] Pici: ok [16:55] xintron, because when you issue a reboot .. init actually changes runlevel to 6 .. and there is no action for your service in runlevel 6 [16:55] hello all [16:55] ah. ok [16:55] xintron, update-rc.d anope start 75 2 3 4 5 . stop 25 0 1 6 .

[17:00] !seen Pici [17:00] I have no seen command [17:00] stat_cs: Stop.

I've removed that user, now please stop it with the !seen stuff. [17:02] user339, did you look inside your xorg.conf file and see that the settings for big desktop were set? can you use paste.ubuntu.com to show me your xorg.conf [17:02] in year 2008 is that matter anymore? [17:02] chrr - double click on the desired .exe [17:03] Pici, which user have you removed? [17:03] then install as usual. [17:03] stat_cs: kyrin [17:03] Pici, I was not trying to be annoying.

[17:04] Pici, ok [17:04] TJ-Linux, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40948/ [17:05] TJ-Linux, It doesn't seem that the bigdesktop setting is set.. although I used CCC to configure it correctly [17:05] Anyone know about starting new x sessions? [17:05] a pdf program...should i restart system first [17:05] to view PDF's or to write them ? [17:05] Did Ubuntu update to a newer kernel version? [17:07] anyone willing to help me with a script? [17:07] guys if im running a gnome program via typing a command in console to launch it and the console sits there flashing.. is there anything i can type in the console to kill the program? [17:07] nnnulll: yes. [17:07] crtl+c [17:08] user339, i don't see big desktop setup in there (coincidentally, that's the exact same video card I dumped last week). make sure you backup your xorg before doing anything. try doing it manually with the aticonfig command by reading this webpage: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301941. basically the options with aticonfig you will want are to use --desktop-setup=? --sync-vsync=on and --add-pairmode=? [17:08] how can I get tinyproxy to use a certien ip for the outbound connections ? [17:08] Bind doesnt seem to do the trick [17:08] i'm a little suspicious that in the ATI CCC you still aren't correctly saving the settings, but I don't have CCC installed anymore to provide you help with that [17:08] nnulll, try alt + f2 and type xkill and then hit enter, click on the program giving you problems [17:08] nnnulll: You can also type: killall -KILL [17:09] Hello [17:09] TJ-Linux, ok thanks, I'll try it [17:09] Entropy51423: Depending on what you're trying to do, #bash might be a better place, but try asking your actual script question here. [17:09] that's about the extent of what I can help with, but if you still have difficulty, try asking again [17:10] nnnulll: or find the process id: (px aux) and kill the process by pid (kill -KILLL ) [17:10] TJ-Linux, ok :) [17:10] I'm getting the Initramfs error, where I get shoved into console but can't type anything. How can I fix this? Forums suggest RAID mode but I'd like to be able to dual boot Windows without having to constantly go into the BIOS to switch from RAID.

[17:37] phoenixz: ndiswrapper + original driver [17:37] drojan1, your router might be accessible by ssh - in which case it probably doesn't portforward properly.

[17:38] Studiosus: you don't since desktop effects doesn't have anything to do with gnome, unless you mean gnome's desktop effects [17:38] vipaca, what are you hoping to do ? [17:38] Hi, all. I'm trying to compile some 32-bit code, and it's complaining about not finding libs, which is happening because libFoo.so links don't exist under /usr/lib32/. How do I get them to be created? (I already tried manually adding /usr/lib32 to ld.so.conf and rerunning ldconfig, but that didn't do it) [17:38] usser: I guess because it prompts a message to put the password, so it means that ssh on 22 is being forwarded... [17:38] gdsx, u probably need to install 32 bit libraries from the repositories [17:39] I mean desktop effects which can be enabled in GNOME thru System > Preferences > Appearance [17:39] usser: the libraries are there; the appropriate symlinks are not [17:39] kitche: I mean desktop effects which can be enabled in GNOME thru System > Preferences > Appearance [17:39] Im hoping to find out what "Unexpected error: Internal error" really means [17:39] Studiosus: You can disbale them in the same manner....

I was wondering on how is it determined what number is assigned for the ethernet interfaces. I inserted a new 3com card in a machine that serves as a router and I found out that it is numbered eth6. What already was there was eth1 and eth2. Any ideas? [17:40] unop: it is accesible through the browser on 8080 port but I don't know about ssh [17:41] ShackJack: I can't disable them thru menu, navigation is broken when effects activated [17:41] drojan1, what hes trying to say is that your router may have built in ssh server which responds to your outside request and since you never set the password for it, it just disconnects u [17:41] linksys WUSB54GP usb wireless card supported by ubuntu by default? [17:41] sorry for repost :( [17:41] Studiosus: run gnome-appearance-properties via terminal (in gnome) [17:41] usser: unop: I'm gonna have a look to the router [17:42] Flash (not Firefox) keeps crashing under Ubuntu (works great on other distros). Is there any solution to this? [17:42] gdsx, the 32bit packages. [17:42] Studiosus: (Alt+F2, then gnome-terminal) [17:42] drojan1, try this. ssh router [17:42] gdsx, how do you compile your code, can u give me your gcc line? [17:42] thx, will try [17:42] Studiosus: Or alt+f2 then that program I just said ;) [17:42] drojan1, or. ssh $ip_address_of_router [17:42] I guess thats a no one knows [17:43] usser: the issue is that, for instance, /usr/lib32/libX11.so doesn't exist (though /usr/lib32/libX11.so.6 does). so doing something like `gcc -L/usr/lib32 -lX11 foo.c -o foo` won't work, because the symlink from libX11.so.6 to libX11.so doesn't exist [17:44] how do I mount my iPod? [17:44] unop: aha, it prompts me to introduce a password [17:44] dashnu: fyrestrtr: I know my root password on mysql that i just set!

[19:20] Dedicated: if you run ccsm in a terminal, then attempt to do that, do you get a traceback in the terminal output?

[19:21] works fine at home [19:21] DEViUS: usser ive installed ATI using the ubuntu ENVYNG [19:21] danbhfive, why would it connect like that and then not be able to access it's own network ? [19:22] i lose hours on ubuntu ... [19:22] how can you change what driver ubuntu uses for a video card? I can't find it under Applications > System > Hardware drivers [19:22] solving issues like this :-( [19:22] wine-1.0 oh shit [19:22] babo: you said the problem was that it works on windows, not ubuntu, right? [19:22] uffo, oh sorry, cpu scaling should be enabled by default u dont have to do anything special but if u want to manually control it u have to install a program\ [19:22] Lemont: what card? === d is now known as Guest55329 [19:22] crdlb: geforce 4 mx440se [19:23] kalkan: "mount -t ext3 /path_to_device /path_to_mount" [19:23] danbhfive, sorry. i dual boot the laptop. the windows boot works fine. the linux boot will access the net no problem at home, but on this access point it seems to login but not actually access anything ... [19:23] Lemont: make sure that the 'linux-generic' package is installed, then check the Hardware Drivers manager again [19:23] php6th , it should work with ubuntu 8.04 and default wine, yust copy your windows install of frozen throne and the latest patch wich removes the need of the cdrom [19:23] unimatrix9: where should i copy it from? i dont have windows [19:23] babo: so, it works ok on other access points? and which driver are you using? [19:23] crdlb: ok, and I can confirm that in synaptics? right? [19:23] how does automount work? [19:24] Lemont: sure, any package manager will work [19:24] !fstab > kalkan [19:24] kalkan, please see my private message [19:24] last I heard there was a bug with the 8.04 Network install, is there still a problem with it? [19:24] usser: in windows i did not installed anything, i tought that bios regulates cpu speed depending of how much power it needs, it has 2 modes 900mhz 50% of power 1.5 ghz full activity [19:25] babo: well, anyway, this is just a guess. I have found that if your connection sucks, windows can reconnect like a champ, whereas ubuntu sucks great big balls of cheese. I was having ubuntu lockup over this issue. I solved it by picking a different channel for the router, one that gave a stronger signal [19:25] rambo3 could you please assist me in editing my fstab file http://pastebin.com/d76530015 [19:25] php6th oh, hehe [19:25] danbhfive, it's an intel 3945ABG Network connection, how can i find the router ? [19:25] crdlb: thx i will google now a round again :) [19:25] err ... driver [19:25] uffo, well its not the bios that scales the cpu its the job of an operating system windows itself cannot do it, u probably had some drivers installed that allowed it, such support is built into linux u just have to install a tiny applet that should allow u to do it [19:26] http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=wcfrozenthrone [19:26] hi i am new here [19:26] DEViUS, what is the problem [19:26] uffo, anyway program is called emifreq u can install by typing sudo apt-get install emifreq-applet on the terminal [19:26] first time runing ubuntu :D [19:26] !hi | nickthada [19:26] Dedicated: hmm, did you try running it in a terminal?

[19:27] carandraug, how does ubuntu automount partitions? i have changed my partitions, and now ubuntu is confused, how can i repair it? [19:27] danbhfive, updating to hardy isn't a possibility without an internet connection. [19:28] crdlb: just did and got 2 errors which i can now try to track down [19:28] php6th: have you checked if the sound is alsa or oss or something else? In the link I gave you, a guy with the same problem solved it by switching it [19:28] php6th, did u try to run it from the terminal ie wine /path/to/war3.exe -opengl [19:28] --> is a user? [19:28] php6th, pastebin any errors that u get [19:28] Dedicated: oh, pastebin them please; I might be able to help [19:28] kalkan: you have to edit fstab. You need help doing it? [19:28] thanks to all that helped/tried to help [19:28] usser: i tried, the problem is that... the windows became black i cant do nothing, ill try again [19:28] danbhfive, i don't get it. why would it work with one access point and not another ? surely that would be driver indepedent ... ? [19:28] babo: what release are you running? === nickthada is now known as AAAALEX === AAAALEX is now known as AALEX [19:29] php6th, also go to winecfg->graphics and setup emulate virtual desktop set it to 800x600, this will run any games in a windows instead of fullscreen [19:29] rambo3: i think as u c i have multiple mount points and the last ones arent successful [19:29] . [19:29] php6th , maybe turn off desktop effects [19:29] good i changed my nick D: [19:29] but i dont know what else could be wrong [19:29] babo: yeah, its driver independent... I think, [19:29] i whant to ask a question is it possible to play warcraft 3 in linux? [19:29] crdlb: http://pastebin.com/m3c2b6555 === donal is now known as babo [19:29] yes [19:30] danbhfive, gutsy [19:30] if you have an good 3D card and heavy machine [19:30] [GNOME] What to fill in the 'Bookmark name:' field in Places > Connect to Server when Service type: SSH? [19:30] how its a special war3 for linux or trught wine? [19:30] AALEX: yes. Take a look at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3126 [19:30] Dedicated: you installed compiz fusion from source? [19:30] How can I know which console apps start at boot ? In gentoo there was the rc-update application, what's the ubuntu equivalent ? [19:30] babo: do you have a separate /home partition? [19:30] AALEX: Cedega, WInes, o VMWare. [19:30] danbhfive, no. why would that matter ? [19:30] for wine info and games, http://frankscorner.org/ [19:30] bye all [19:31] :) [19:31] rambo3: i think as u c i have multiple mount points and the last ones arent successful [19:31] thnks [19:31] DEViUS, yeah , but what are you trying to do ? If you want rw on windows parition you need ntfs-3g , [19:31] babo: well, you d/l the cd in windows (I assume you are in windows now), and then do a clean install, if you have a separate /home, all your settings will be saved [19:31] kalkan: you start Ubuntu it checks a file named fstab to automount your partitions. If you switched them you'll have to edit that file. I can give you a hand if you want [19:31] WTF WORKS [19:31] could anyone help me get ATI Catalyst to function again? it worked a few months ago, had it configured right and then after an upgrade (I don't know how long ago that might have been) it stopped functioning 'Either there is no ATI driver, or the driver is not configured properly'. I reconfigured xorg.conf following the setup for compiz [19:31] babo: do you want to upgrade to hardy? there is another option [19:32] gaintsura: use NVIDIANG [19:32] crdlb: did once some months ago, because the whole compiz thing was broken, but came back today, removed any compiz related file or folder and installed it from the repos. its now running except the keybinding (and the icons in the config listing) [19:32] php6th: uhm.. ATI [19:32] not nvidia [19:32] danbhfive, not really [19:32] DEViUS, UUID is for if you changed drive to some other cable , like from /dev/sda to sdb it would still be mounted , so use one or the other [19:32] crdlb: i wonder too why it will take something from local/ [19:32] carandraug: yes i need help, but i have other problems too, so i think it could be solved at the same time. Problems appeared when I installed opensuse [19:32] gaintsura: i know, the application is called NVDIANG [19:32] Dedicated: well, ccsm is still installed in /usr/local, which means that's the install from source [19:32] rambo3: because of this (i guess) my partitions dont mount on startup [19:32] danbhfive, surely there's a better way ? isn't it possible to just debug the issue ? [19:32] kalkan: what problems? [19:33] php6th: and where can I get it? and what does nvidiang have to do with ATI catalyst? [19:33] hm, I can't seem to get my dell latitude c610 with ubuntu/fluxbox to suspend when I close the lid. I've tried some googling without much luck. It just freezes when I run the suspend command, when I close the lid it just blacks the screen and doesn't really suspend. Any ideas? Thanks [19:33] babo: well, yeah, but the fix would be added to a later release, like hardy [19:33] How can I know which console apps start at boot ? In gentoo there was the rc-update application, what's the ubuntu equivalent ? [19:33] DEViUS, also c , u is not welcome in this channel [19:33] gaintsura: ENVYNG installs all catalyst and ATI drivers [19:33] rambo3: why is this? [19:33] i have ati x1300 works perfect [19:33] I need help finding file on a NTFS drive. The MBR/Partition seem to be fucked up. The drive is mounted in Ubuntu 8.04 but no file appear on it. Same if I mount manually with ntfs-3g. I know the file are still on it as I am able to see them with a bootable software called Active Partition Recovery, but I can't copy the file with them. Any idea? ty [19:33] danbhfive, what could break on one access point but work on another ? [19:33] DEViUS, I don't know [19:33] !u [19:33] 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.. [19:33] it's hardware independent [19:33] crdlb: yeah i just removed it, seems that was it :) [19:33] surely [19:33] !envyng [19:33] 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 [19:33] carandraug: fsck gives error massege too, status 8, chack failed [19:34] danbhfive, k thanks. [19:34] crdlb: thanks [19:34] babo: well, I stand by what I said earlier, a bad connection!!! [19:34] babo: grrrrrr [19:34] rambo3: ok ill type in properly, thanks [19:34] rambo3: because of this (i guess) my partitions dont mount on startup [19:35] php6th: how weird... I thought I had all of that installed [19:35] gyah, new rule, I don't help anyone not running hardy!! [19:35] gaintsura: install it again [19:35] I am right now [19:35] require some goddies for install party where can i get the? [19:35] kalkan: that's because fsck depends on fstab. We need to fix that file [19:35] them* [19:35] DEViUS, ok remove duplicates first . [19:35] carangraug, thaks, how can i do it? [19:36] DEViUS, the bottom ones [19:36] <_ed_> hello === icqnumber_ is now known as icqnumber [19:37] rambo3: i have removed the last ones [19:37] kalkan: could you pastebin that file and the output of "sudo fdisk -l". Also, please try to avoid typos in my nick or I won't receive a warning of your message. If you use Xchat use tab to autocomplete the nick [19:37] DEViUS, change mounting places from /windows to /media/windows [19:37] ans so on [19:38] <_ed_> if I accidentally chmod -R 775 * /var directory, is there any posibility that phpmyadmin is not working properly because of it?

There is one large shared data drive I need to access from each. Would it be more reliable to format it as fat32 so Ubuntu can read it as vfat, or as ext3 and try to use one of the ext2fsd drives for Windows to read it that way? [19:39] rambo3: affirmitive [19:39] MolePrince: try ntfs [19:39] MolePrince: NTFS. === arfah_ is now known as AL_Zarqawi [19:39] MolePrince, leave it as ntfs [19:39] NTFS for real? Isn't that really buggy under Linux? [19:39] MolePrince: you should use ntfs. With ntfs-3g you have no problems reading and writing in Ubuntu [19:39] carandraug , ok, where to paste that file? [19:39] rambo3: this is how the file looks now http://pastebin.com/ddf55d7a [19:40] <_ed_> if I accidentally chmod -R 775 * /var directory, is there any posibility that phpmyadmin is not working properly because of it?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:40] carandraug: Sweet, thanks for the tip. :) [19:40] MolePrince: yeah, it will corrupt and destroy your hard drive, but this happens to all ubuntu systems that contains Vista [19:40] DEViUS, check if there are those maps in /meida folder arch windows , and so on , if they are not there create them [19:40] php6th: got that right [19:40] MolePrince: no problem [19:40] MolePrince, it works although certain features are missing for instance u cant run vmware virtual machines off of ntfs driver or run certain games under linux from it, but general read write support is pretty nice [19:41] usser: It's my media library and data dump. Only gaming I do is under Windows. [19:41] MolePrince, then u should be fine [19:41] Can anyone help get a Palm to sync? [19:41] rambo3: they exist [19:41] usser: Also contains my local bzr/hg repos, will ntfs work okay with them? [19:41] DEViUS, do you want read write on your ntfs partition ? [19:42] MolePrince, actually theres a known issues with certain audio players on linux that really slows them down when the collection is on an ntfs drive [19:42] does anyone know a pdf viewer that uses svga library so I can read pdf in a tty? [19:42] o please, o please. my boss is gonna make me put windows back on this machine if i can't get his palm to sync [19:42] rambo3: both read and write permissions for all [19:42] !palm | GrnFraggle [19:42] GrnFraggle: A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB [19:42] i installed ndiswrapper with gui from synaptic and loaded my atheros wifi drivers but it still not showing wifi hotspot [19:42] rambo3: both read and write permissions for all [19:42] GrnFraggle: Have you read that? [19:42] !ntfs-3g | DEViUS [19:42] DEViUS: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [19:42] ubottu sorry, i have to type that url before paste? [19:42] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:42] usser: Do you know which ones offhand? I have it set to use mt-daapd so I can play things on my laptops as well. [19:42] pici, yup [19:42] MolePrince: there is no guarantie eventually all NTFS or FAT will go corrupt and irrecoverable, i would suggest you to delete vista forever [19:42] GrnFraggle: And it doesnt help? [19:43] MolePrince, i dont think its a good idea to have the repos on an ntfs partition [19:43] in math , what is the "AND" of m>0 , m<0 , m>100 ?? [19:43] MolePrince, amarok had that problem when scanning a collection and loading a playlist when its sufficiently big would take quite some time [19:43] DEViUS https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G , install that [19:43] php6th: Would love to, but I need Windows for my work, and I highly doubt Warhammer Online will be really good under Wine ;) [19:43] rambo3: i already have it installd [19:43] Tux2K8, is this #math? [19:43] has anyone worked on postgresql [19:43] Pici, it's not for ubuntu. it's for old distro's, it's from 2002 [19:44] MolePrince: then buy a new hardrive to share with vista, something of 1 terabyte and expensive [19:44] HI [19:44] I've got a web cam [19:44] DEViUS, then change /media/windows ntfs to /media/windows ntfs-3g [19:44] and it used to work with Ubuntu, and now its not being notices [19:44] usser: Warcraft 3 is running!!! but now the image is blinking [19:44] Pici, the palm link exists in Ubuntu, no need to install. USB support is native in Ubuntu........ [19:44] i installed ndiswrapper with gui from synaptic and loaded my atheros wifi drivers but it still not showing wifi hotspot on network browser, i have hardware present and card enabled [19:44] php6th, did u disable the desktop effects as someone suggested earlier? [19:44] php6th: I've actually got a pair of 500GB that I'm splitting out of a mirrored RAID. I suppose I could format one NTFS for sutff I need to share and keep the other a real format. [19:44] php6th: are running compiz? Try "metacity --replace &" [19:45] MolePrince: or do as i did, use ext3 filesystem from windows ;) [19:45] usser: should i disable compiz?? [19:45] yes [19:45] php6th, yea ati cards dont play nice with compiz and 3d games [19:45] rambo3: it is done [19:45] or4n: I've seen the drivers for that, but I'm a bit skeptical of how reliable a Windows driver to access a Linux fs can be. [19:45] php6th: definetly. You can alwys get compiz back once you're finished playing with the command "compiz --replace &" [19:45] rambo3: what about the [19:46] MolePrince: this may not be much, but i've been using ext3 from windows for 3 years or so. first with xp and now with vista ;) [19:46] can i use for compiz the default window decorator instead of emerald [19:46] or4n: Good to know. Might not be a disaster then. ;) [19:46] . [19:47] is compiz still considered buggy and evil? [19:47] nnull, not anymore [19:47] DEViUS, users,uid=1000,gid=1000, [19:47] umask=0002 0 0 [19:47] [19:47] oh [19:47] And actually if I could run the AT&T VPN Client and the Citrix ICA Client from Linux, I'd need Vista a lot less. [19:47] kalkan: you got how pastebin works? [19:47] has someone experiences on RocketRAID 1640 controller over ubuntu? Does it work? Thank you... [19:48] Dedicated, yes sure just install compiz-gnome or compiz-kde depending on what DE u run [19:48] oh shit it works [19:48] i have found the url, filled my nick, pasted the output, ive sent [19:48] rambo3: that is for all except (/proc and /) right [19:48] DEViUS, no just ntfs-3g partitions . you have 2 of them [19:49] i installed ndiswrapper with gui from synaptic and loaded my atheros wifi drivers but it still not showing wifi hotspot on network browser, i have hardware present and card enabled with wifi button [19:49] Can anyone help with Palm sync? [19:49] carandraug , i am not sure how does it work [19:49] rambo3: ok, done [19:50] does the root user have a trash in ubuntu 8.04, and if so, how do I empty it? [19:50] GrnFraggle I might [19:50] hi again [19:50] carandraug, but i have pasted [19:50] usser: im in battlenet ! WOHOO!! [19:50] if i want my normal user to be able to write in /var/www, what do i do ? [19:50] im in the user setttings and group settings now, right ? [19:50] Yeah JohnK. i've tried the basics, lsusb shows the palm but i can't get gnome-pilot or jpilot to connect [19:50] mantise: add them to the www-data group, and then make /var/www writable by groups [19:50] TJ-42, root shouldn't have a trash .. unless you used a graphical application under sudo [19:50] kalkan: open the link that ubotu gave you. Paste the output of the command I gave you for that window, put your nick and then click in the button past. Then give me the URL of the page that appears [19:51] mantise: are you sure userdir isn't enough for you? [19:51] php6th, great does it lag? [19:51] or4n: i need to edit my www files as user.. not as root [19:51] DEViUS, ok now arch , options are: users,rw,auto dump is: 0 and pass is: 0 [19:51] TJ-42, sudo rm -r /root/.local/share/Trash/* perhaps [19:51] usser: i have, but when disabling the window decoration module in ccsm (which loads the emerald) i dont have any window decoration at all [19:51] or4n: when i need to upload pages [19:51] kalkan: I need the link for that page now [19:51] GrnFraggle it drove me crazy. have you installed j-pilot? [19:51] Flannel: so make a new grp or mana www-data grp ? [19:51] how can I download a flash video from a site ? [19:51] Flannel: or add grp www-data ? [19:51] JohnK yup, same behavior as gnome-pilot. [19:52] rambo3: by the way i have arch linux installed there, is it goin to be affected in anyway? [19:52] Flannel: and add my user there ? [19:52] mantise: adduser username www-data [19:52] DEViUS, no [19:52] mantise: www-data already exists (as a user, and a group) [19:52] isn't this an ubuntu chat? [19:52] tux [19:52] Flannel: no it doesnt [19:52] GrnFraggle: no, chatting is in #ubuntu-offtopic, this is a support channel [19:52] rambo3: done, [19:53] GrnFraggle did you use install user in j-pilot? [19:53] Dedicated, i suggest u try fusion-icon [19:53] mantise: Do you have apache2 installed? [19:53] JohnK it won't install [19:53] Flannel: yep, installed and using apache2 [19:53] Dedicated, its a nice little app that sits in systray allows you to control alot of compiz options [19:53] Does Ubuntu have a firewall activated as default? [19:53] mantise: then www-data exists... unless they've changed the username for Hardy. do this: groups www-data [19:53] JohnK should i hit hotsync b4 i open jpilot? [19:53] mantise: you should get www-data : www-data [19:54] I need help finding file on a NTFS drive. The MBR/Partition seem to be fucked up. The drive is mounted in Ubuntu 8.04 but no file appear on it. Same if I mount manually with ntfs-3g. I know the file are still on it as I am able to see them with a bootable program called Active Partition Recovery, but I can't copy the file with them. Any idea? ty [19:54] carandraug: DEViUS usser im in Battlenet, THANK YOU!! [19:54] jpotex: yes. It's iptables [19:54] jpotex, yes every linux distibution comes with a firewall called iptables [19:54] Flannel: in a terminal ? [19:54] John0Neil: please watch your language [19:54] mantise: yes [19:54] php6th: anytime [19:54] carandraug, usser: And its active by default? [19:54] php6th, great :) [19:54] php6th: you're welcome [19:54] jpotex, yes [19:54] Flannel: i installed ndiswrapper with gui from synaptic and loaded my atheros wifi drivers but it still not showing wifi hotspot on network browser, i have hardware present and card enabled [19:54] Flannel: i get this answer: www-data [19:54] jpotex: yes [19:54] usser: How may I turn that off? [19:54] Flannel: yes [19:54] DEViUS, ok you deleted CDrom line . put it back there (2lines) and paste so i can see new one [19:54] Flannel, is it ok to private chat someone in here? [19:55] mantise: yeah, you have a www-data user, who is in www-data group. It might not show up in users and groups, but that's fine. sudo adduser username www-data [19:55] GrnFraggle that part is hazy to me now, I think so [19:55] johnk ok, i'll try again [19:55] jpotex, install a frontend that lets u modify it easily something like a firestarted [19:55] jpotex, err firestarter [19:55] GrnFraggle: Assuming they're ok with it yes. But we try and keep support stuff in the channel, it's safer that way. [19:55] usser: But I want to turn it off :) [19:55] Flannel: and then the user can write in /var/www ? [19:55] jpotex: "man iptables". You mwy want to install shorewall as iptables can be a bit tricky to work with. Shorewall is just a front-end for iptables [19:55] carandraug, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40984/ [19:55] jpotex, firestarter will let u do that [19:56] What package will install mod_rewrite for apache? [19:56] hi .. what is the best way to save/view .doc and .docx files in ubuntu? i work on group projects where we share these kinds of files, and i need a very reliable way (formatting wise) to view and save them in ubuntu. any suggestions? [19:56] mantise: No, then you still need to modify permissions of those things (/var/www is actually owned by root) but then everything else defaults to 644, you need to make it 664, so people in the group (you) can write to it. [19:56] rambo3: what about the for both ntfs partitions http://pastebin.com/d5df8da76 [19:56] usser: Hm ok. It can be found in synaptic? [19:56] jpotex, yes [19:56] carandraug, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40984/plain/ [19:56] GrnFraggle in J-pilot click on file ---> install and I thing that is what it takes to get the PP to be seen by the system [19:56] usser: Ok, good :) [19:56] mantise: so, chown /var/www to www-data:www-data and then g+r them [19:56] mantise: er, g+w [19:57] DEViUS, 0 both [19:57] <[ZAF]-Coral> I just installed netbeans ...

[19:57] Flannel: i dont understand this :P use the exact line you wrote ? :) [19:57] JohnK it's not working. both ways, palm connected when i open jpilot, and hitting hotsync after it requests hotsync. should i have a special id number? [19:57] carandraug, sorry, how can i do it? [19:57] usser: I stopped the firewall in firestarter, but ports are still closed for incoming traffic :/ [19:58] is there a way to save a flash video from a website to my HD? [19:58] php6th: done, just for my knowledge what is the for? [19:58] rambo3: done, just for my knowledge what is the for? [19:58] kalkan: run "less /etc/fstab" and pastebin it as you did for the command [19:58] DEViUS: what ? [19:58] sladen: Hey dude how's things? [19:58] php6th: sorry you weren't the intended reciepient [19:59] wx9j_: that depends, is it a movie with a flash wrapper or a flash animation [19:59] GrnFraggle Have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=607540 [19:59] kalkan: didn't you said you had installed OpenSuse?

I was explaining so you'd actually know what's going on. but alright: sudo chmod www-data:www-data /var/www && sudo chown -R g+w /var/www [19:59] DEViUS, nothing special , first one if for backup order , and second one is for fsck order.

[20:13] carandraug, how can i fix it? [20:13] DEViUS, you have to give yourself permissions on the volume then [20:13] Whilst following the walkthrough I installed linux-sources, maybe that has something to do with the current malaise of my ubuntu? === platyhelminth is now known as Richen_Windows [20:13] unop: could you show me how === crackhead_25 is now known as xjohnthomasx [20:14] DEViUS, did you say this was an arch volume? does that mean a filesystem used by arch linux?

After the changes you have to select write so it saves them. Also, I'm sorry but I gave you a command wrong. The "f" in the "ls" command" should be a "F" could you do it again "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/" and the "sudo fdisk -l" after you made sda2 bootable? [20:17] no, it's an M130. LSUSB shows the device, nothing connects to it [20:17] GrnFraggle: Can you go to a computer where you have not tried a palm connection yet? If so try this: 1.install modprobe visor 2. Install j-pilot 3. run mode probe visor 4. start j-piolt. 5. clik on File ---> install 6. sync your Palm to the desktop and do a backup [20:17] DEViUS, that still doesn't address the fact that you don't have permissions over the volume -- and if you change permissions you upset your arch install [20:17] Hey everyone. I have a problem. If I'm playing music, emesene doesn't make any sounds. How do I fix this? [20:18] DEViUS, I think the best thing to do is give yourself permissions via ACLs rather than change unix permissions [20:18] !sound | kat [20:18] kat: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[20:19] gaintsura: isn't it just restarting X, if you use gdm: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [20:19] kat: your problem has most likely something to do with pulseaudio. Take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [20:19] DEViUS, hold on, i'm looking for a good howto for you [20:19] unop: tyt [20:20] carandraug, cfdisk said doing current partition bootable failed [20:20] Hi all. My USB keyboard doesn't work on my ubuntu laptop. Anyone care to help me find out what the problem is and how to fix it? [20:20] kalkan: did you start cfdisk with sudo? Is sda2 mounted? [20:20] carandraug, thanks. i know im using alsa though. so its weird that it has something to do with pulseaudio. but ill check it out [20:20] carandraug, .. and i have to reboot [20:21] GrnFraggle Here is my e-mail address: jkerr0102@rogers.com let me know how you get on with it. This pisses me off. I love Ubuntu and Linux. But all of the talk about "Linux on the Desktop" is going nowhere until things like this work out of the box. [20:21] John, you do know that i get an error from visor right? [20:21] what is the error [20:21] carandraug, yes i started sudo, sda2 is mounted [20:21] JohnK [15008.377259] visor: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -5 [20:21] kalkan: you can umount sda2 manually if that's the problem [20:22] DEViUS, http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/acl.htm [20:22] kalkan: "sudo umount /dev/sda2" [20:22] Can i play with the PS3 control in Ubuntu?

[20:26] GrnFraggle: two choices 1. try mandriva but check the forums to see if it is a problem there as well 2. Pay Canonical for support.

'Either no ATI Drivers installed or Drivers are not properly configured' I've tried reconfiguring xorg.conf, still no change. can anyone help me out? [20:27] is there a way to download the previous version of a package somewhere? [20:27] carandraug, oh yea, i had that problem too but i fixed it after awhile [20:27] GrnFraggle, he's not actually sure if the lead is causing the problem, he has got it plugged into the usb [20:27] debCarlos: ubuntu on a ps3 has to use SOME drivers in order to be able to use the controllers [20:27] okay, as expected no help from #ubuntu ... [20:27] I wonder why I bother coming here [20:27] Bucketface: thanks but I no longer have that problem. It's kat who has a problem and I thought it could be related [20:27] GrnFraggle, what he does have, is it working :). and other people saying it worked for them . . [20:28] GrnFraggle, might be worth a shot? nothing much else to go on from what i can see [20:28] remoteCTRL: ok, thanks :) [20:28] alsa-base is already the newest version. linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic is already the newest version. [20:28] bofh80 i never have a /dev/ttyUSB?

[20:29] I dunno either [20:29] My ubuntu is currently pretty borked too. [20:29] Oh well [20:29] kalkan: ok. See you in a minute then [20:30] gaintsura: there is a switch in the esplanations to the command, something like --initial-config or so, it is one of the very first, that one makes sure that the apropriate values to use the driver on startup a set in xservers configuration file [20:30] rambo3: it did, i even booted my arch to check functionality, everything is stable [20:30] GrnFraggle, from what he's suggesting it's the order in which you connect things, i'm hoping he means to follow those steps as a 1 off to get things working. [20:30] remoteCTRL: I did that [20:30] clean linux install of Dapper, network upgrade to Hardy, now all mp4 players are showing read only. (usb) any suggest? [20:30] is there a way to run my existing windows vista installation virtually within ubuntu? [20:30] bah [20:30] GrnFraggle, as a side note, what it your boss wanting to sync his palm too? with evolution or something? [20:31] kat: look in options, plugin in the emesene menus [20:31] hi guys [20:31] to make my bios allow booting from usb stick, what other things should i do in bios besides "first boot device: usb zip"? [20:31] use VirtualBox, work great, dont expect to game tho [20:31] carandraug: okay, I'll shut up and wait [20:31] I'm new here [20:31] gaintsura: if you have a look into the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf what does it say there in the section device where it says driver? [20:31] GrnFraggle, or he just wants to keep it backed up or what? [20:31] hello, i have a hp laptop with hdmi out. it has a nvidia graphic card, i belive it has also the nforce chipset. hdmi sound out is not working, is there any known issue about nvidia audio out throu hdmi ? i am running ubuntu hardy [20:32] plz help me with my xorg [20:32] Driver "fglrx" [20:32] jonaskoelker: try asking again in 5-10minutes with all the problem in one message. Maybe someone will know how to solve it [20:32] bofh80 ok, i tried (based on info from this post) to verify that i have a port mapped under /dev for the palm. when i do ls -l it shows me a list of folders, none of which pertain to palm anything [20:32] remoteCTRL: I manually put that line in there [20:32] I have an HP 6720s laptop [20:32] don't get my hopes up [20:32] there is a problem with 1280x800 screen resolution [20:32] <---- is marvin the paranoid android atm [20:33] ProximaCent: your graphics adapter has to support audio output on the hdmi card, probably your nvidia card does not so you need to use an additional audio cable in case... [20:33] anyone know why read does not accept the -u arg in ubuntu? [20:33] carandraug, yea i did.. pretty limited menu :P === Richen_Windows is now known as Platyhelminth [20:33] GrnFraggle, ok. after you disconnect, just wait a moment, then plug it back in, then kill the gpilot and other ones it mentions, you can do that with system monitor . . [20:33] andriy: please put your question in ONE line [20:33] ignore the ls-l it's a mistype [20:33] ls is dir lol [20:34] so does anyone have a clue how to install ALSA modules on Ubuntu 8.04, which are missing from /lib/modules/ ? I have removed and reinstalled ALSA, didn't help [20:34] kat: no idea how it is since I don't use emesene. I just googled for your problem and they mentioned that menu. [20:34] bofh80 please explain how i can view the ports /ttyUSB1 or /ttyUSB0 [20:34] gaintsura: do you have a second section device in there with its driver named vesa? [20:34] bofh80 i don't think i have them. no error when unhooking palm from computer [20:34] gaintsura: did you do that just now or was that in there before? [20:35] remoteCTRL: thanks for the note, yes i thought this is related to the graphic card, i installed latest nvidia driver from nvidia , something like 17xx . cat /proc/asound/cards does not show hdmi out, is the kernel not supporting because its not shown there ? [20:35] GrnFraggle, ignore that part, i would just go through the motions he suggests, which is to connect it, start the gnome-applet, disconnect it, wait, reconnect it, then manually kill of the processes, then start them again [20:35] ati is shown there as hdmi on another laptop [20:35] remoteCTRL: no there was no driver named vesa, and I did fglrx yesterday [20:35] carandraug, well thanks anyway. if anyone knows the answer i hope to hear it :D [20:35] gaintsura: if option one logout and in again then it is supposed to work [20:35] Joysticks are mounted in /dev/hidraw0 ? [20:35] I have laptop HP 6720s (15") - there is a problem with screen resolution (1280x800) - I have to set it up manually every time I turn on laptop. Does anyone knows why? Thanks [20:36] remoteCTRL: it didn't thats what I'm telling you. which is why I'm asking to begin with, if it worked after logout/login, I wouldn't be asking [20:36] ProximaCent: as said before first of all your graphics card needs to support that on the hardware side, as it is an nvidia card chances are that it doesn't [20:36] carandraug, ok i have reboot [20:36] kat: have you considered other MSN clients? [20:37] remoteCTRL: ok good, so far it needed to be supported from nvidia. thats bad.. thanks anyway [20:37] mp4 now read only cannot delete or write to, also cannot change permissions, even under root. Any ideas? [20:37] gaintsura: easy buddy, i didn't know if you did that just now or some time back that is why i asked, k? [20:37] Evening, I have upgraded to Intrepid, everything seems good but just one small annoyance. GDM doesn't seem to auto-login anymore. Is this perhaps a known issue?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [20:37] remoteCTRL: my applogies... it just seems like I get the same answer over and over no matter what I tell people [20:37] ProximaCent: sorry for the bad news, but as said the solution is an additional audio cable to connect your computer with what ever other device... [20:37] carandraug, could try some others [20:37] carandraug, what do you use? [20:38] GrnFraggle, does your boss want to sync - emails calander etc, or just backup his data? [20:38] ben: ask better in #ubuntu+1 [20:38] kalkan: could you then pastebin "sudo fdisk -l", "ls -lf /dev/disk/by-uuid/" and "less /etc/fstab" ? You can pastebin all in one if you want. [20:38] gaintsura: what concerns me, i have no idea what you have spoken to what people so i have to go and check a few things with you, i hope there's nothing wrongh about that [20:38] i've got problems with rhythmbox... http://paste.ubuntu.com/40998/ [20:39] remoteCTRL: not at all, would you like me to pastebin my xorg.conf? [20:39] bofh80 he wants to sync with an app, just like in windows. so his sec can change his data and everything [20:39] gaintsura: have you looked if the kernel modules are loaded?

[20:39] bofh80, i tried it, but i never got an error. and it didn't connect after [20:39] remoteCTRL: no, I have not, couldn't remember what it was called, modprobe [20:39] gaintsura: lsmod to list [20:39] kat: I use pidgin but the main reason it's because aside msn I also use yahoo, aim and gtalk. With pidgin I get all in one. The new version will have support for offline chating and personal messages but not yet [20:40] what's a better torrent client then transmission? [20:40] carandraug, yea i guess pidgin will do =) [20:40] onthefence929 Deluge [20:40] RodMcKay: do you have synaptic? [20:40] grnfraggle is that likeutorrent? [20:40] never used utorrent, sry [20:40] afternoon folks [20:41] guntbert: yes [20:41] kat: aMSN is a dedicated MSN messenger which already has support for offline messaging and the like. Pidgin new version isn't in the repositories yet [20:41] yes Deluge - the best, cause special options you can use to pass proxy [20:41] remoteCTRL: http://pastebin.com/m1c1e6677 [20:41] gaintsura: ok i will look into that, just a sec please [20:41] hellow [20:41] remoteCTRL: according to lsmod fglrx is loaded [20:42] carandraug, when will it be? [20:42] RodMcKay: start it, you can sort the packages by the "installed" column [20:42] have a box I put 8.04 on... and I'm using the nvidia driver off their site... can someone tell me why everytime I go and take an update for the kernel headers and such it goes into low graphics mode? [20:42] kat: I don't know if pidgin comes with all the plugins installed by default. If not, install guifications for toaster-like popups and plugin-pack for a lot of nice things like "psychic mode", "auto-reply" and "auto-replace" [20:42] so i have this old toshiba satellite pro 4200 i need to get networked[on it now, using a usb>eth adaptor] [20:42] I have a maxtor one touch that will work through usb port but I would like to use it with firewire port and it will not connect to ubuntu, will connect on windows machine no problem. any ideas [20:42] gaintsura: good to know [20:42] RodMcKay: its the first column [20:43] the problem is that it wont see my wpc54g [20:43] GrnFraggle, at this point, i'd be thinking dirty, like wine dirty. like trying to see if the windows version connects to it under wine :S [20:43] does anybody here play wow on ubuntu with an ati card? [20:43] forest.com [20:43] kat: probably when 8.10 comes out, which is to say in October.

I deactivated the preset -non-ubuntu-supported-drivers, installed the latest madwifi and "modprobed" ath_pci but i couldn't get any wireless networks to negotiate.

[20:59] Dabbu: A hack would be /etc/rc.local: /etc/init.d/networking restart [21:00] wicd network manager is the best [21:00] is this the ubuntu chat? [21:00] remoteCTRL: l have some really pixelated/choppy full screen video, and I know it has something to do with ATI Catalyst. Catalyst says 'either no ATI driver installed or it is not configured properly' [21:00] gaintsura: well there are about 15 in there and from about 10 i have no idea what it does... [21:01] is there any possibility hp g7060 has a specific/problematic wireless adapter that is not covered by this workaround with madwifi, or is it definitely my fault for not making it work? [21:01] kalkan: sda4 which was once an ext3 partition is now swap. You also need to change it [21:01] Hello, I have a slightly unrelated question; do you know of any website that post news about FOSS releases. Like freshmeat.net... Sorry if OT. [21:01] pkaps: check the madwifi site to make sure your specific atheros card is listed [21:01] gaintsura: speaking in terms of watching a movie and desktop is fine, or what do you mean? [21:01] cnr is not in the synaptic manager, is it normal [21:02] remoteCTRL: I have to get going, are you going to be around later? [21:02] carandraug, how to do? [21:02] hi [21:02] gaintsura: it's late over here, maybe tomorrow... [21:02] remoteCTRL: full screen video is pixelated and choppy, everything else desktop related works fine [21:02] alright, thanks anyway. [21:02] gaintsura: your welcome, and i doubt that that is really a catalyst problem... [21:03] oh skippy I forgot my question [21:03] carandraug, sorry, i dont know how to do [21:03] how can i easily see what driver ubuntu is loading for my sound card? [21:03] kalkan: edit your fstab. Type "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" and switch it by this http://paste.ubuntu.com/41003/ I think it's correct now [21:03] i have to restart "/etc/init.d/networking" everytime when i start ubuntu any help to avoid this [21:04] I have a problem with my secondary hard drive, everytime i restart it demounts the hard drive [21:04] kalkan: What I did was to correct the UUID from sda2 and sda4, erase the entry from the old swap partition and in the sda4 line switch "ext3" to "swap" and "defaults" to "sw". I think it's correct that way [21:05] hi everyone, [21:05] Dabbu:: i'd try having your network init script load later in the boot process [21:05] does someone here happen to know which package contains the command zopectl ? [21:05] ubunubi:plz be more clear..i didn't got u [21:06] anyone having successfully setup ubuntu on a laptop with the ar242x wireless conroller? [21:06] yassine: search package contents on packages.ubuntu.com [21:06] jrib: many thanks [21:06] dabbu: rename your S##networking script in /etc/rcS.d to a higher number (if it's S40networking currently maybe rename is S90networking, etc) [21:06] I recently switched to Ubuntu from RH and I'm having odd line-wrap issues. If I paste an especially long command in the cursor doesn't continue onto the next line sometimes, it will wrap on the same line. The paste should have no \r or \n in it at all. Any idea what might be up? [21:06] kalkan: I have to go now. I'll be back in one hour or so. I believe it should automount that way. Can you edit the files? Don't forget to save in the end [21:07] yassine: I didn't find any with my local apt-file by the way [21:07] #ubuntu-br [21:07] carandraug, ok, i have done, how to know it works? [21:07] yassine: bunch of zopectl.py deep in some directories from zope* though [21:07] carandraug, [21:07] kalkan: you'll have to restart to find out [21:07] would there be any particular reason that my optical drives wouldnt be recognized? i have one plugged in via an ide to sata bridge and the bios recognizes it just fine, but its not found in hardy [21:07] any ideas? [21:07] carandraug, ok, thank you very much [21:08] I need to do two things, 1. I need to learn how to add programs via apt-get and 2. I need to learn how to make fluxbox start on bootup (I downloaded the server edition and installed fluxbox, if I want to start it, I have to bootup my computer and press startx) [21:08] kalkan: if it doesn't work, I'll be away. You'll have to ask someone else then === hds is now known as hds- [21:08] kalkan: no problem. Hope it works fine [21:08] carandraug, thank you very nuch, see you later [21:08] I'm curious, if I setup dual-boot XP/Ubuntu with grub on two partitions, are there issues with later re-installing XP? That is, is it likely to effect my Ubuntu install? [21:09] carandraug, ok, thanks [21:09] basicshwa: 1) try apt-get install === david is now known as Guest66489 [21:09] do I have to have the crazy ending for the package? like 1.2.001 etc. etc? [21:10] hey, just got my new cd, and when I try to install, it only detects my ATA HD's as scsi. Anyone seen this before? [21:10] @scythefwd mine were detected the same when I installed [21:10] My problem is, it'll format, but it wont write. [21:11] hmm [21:11] basicshwa: No [21:11] basicshwa: no, just the package name as "apt-get install abe" [21:12] hi princesa [21:12] attn any FLEX developers: what's the proper way to install the debugger version of flash in ubuntu? [21:13] how would I then add that to my fluxbox menu? [21:13] hi i just setup idesk to use icons from /usr/share/ pixmaps & icons but now i figure out that i need to be sudo, is there a way to set an unprivilidge account to run idesk as sudo? [21:13] terrestre: hi [21:13] basicshwa: I forgot "sudo apt-get ..." [21:14] basichwa: This should start fluxbox, but not the most elegant solution: whereis fluxbox | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -t -p sudo echo > /etc/rc.local [21:15] basichwa: This should start fluxbox, but not the most elegant solution: whereis fluxbox | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -t -p sudo echo >> /etc/rc.local [21:15] i cant apply extra visual effects to my ubuntu [21:16] having a problem with high load average. The disk controller is a Compaq e200i with 61 TB disks configured as raid five. The system is an HP ProLiant ml 350 [21:16] any ideas for making ar242x work on a HP g7060ev laptop? No luck with the madwifi 10.5.6 drivers on a 2.6.24-21-generic linuc kernel. [21:16] what should i do for applying extra visual effects [21:16] I can start fuxbox easily enough by typing startx via command line. I was wonder after I install a program via apt-get. How do I add that program to my fluxbox menu, also, how do i get fluxbox to start as soon as i power up my computer [21:16] !patience | rohit [21:16] rohit: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[21:19] but since i have installed updates and extra softwares [21:19] i cant apply that effects [21:19] hmm, am I in the wrong room to ask these questions? [21:19] MolePrince: like, if maybe it's a Samba thing, or some other thing I should know about? [21:20] hendrixski: Afraid not. If I push my DNS server to the clients, I can resolve them at least, but no SAMBA love.

I want to know too!! [21:30] dpkg-reconfigure is completely ripped of its usefull features ... it doesn't check for video drivers for example [21:30] Hi, I read this on a forum topic : "Try setting the variable XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 and start X from that environment." how do I do that ? or how do I configure that to be used when X starts on boot ? [21:30] Is there a direct upgrade path from 6.06 to 8.04.1 without a broadband connection [21:30] and i don't see indication that it will be brought back at all, but even if it was the direct rendering issue still seems to be a separate thing [21:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41011/ [21:30] scythefwd_, you could use the alternate cd, but you'll still need a broadband connection for additional packages [21:31] scythefwd_: I think you can get a DVD with all the required stuff from OnDisk.com [21:31] hi. I have a Realtek RTL8111/8168B ethernet card, and i've got Ubuntu on a live CD (haven't installed it yet).

[21:31] scythefwd_: then you don't need a connection, you just get a snapshot of the repositories and all that [21:31] sevas, I have the cd from ubuntu. I can't install from it though, it doesn't seem to like my ide hd [21:31] will02, do you have one partition only? [21:31] marekt, you're installing crap from a ppa.

When i do any "sudo" command i get this sudo: unable to resolve host (username) [22:39] ?? [22:39] manolis: you having ordered it already implies its too late if it isn't. [22:39] Dedicated, well, everything else that X launches then has the same nice value - or can use the same nice value [22:40] Expl0ited, because sometimes you want your X apps to have a lower nice value than system services [22:40] i can't run update either [22:40] and i think it has something to do with that message [22:40] ok i heard that it is not supported,do you know if 9800 will be supported in 8.10?

[22:48] genius, there's debsums which could help [22:48] bobbob1016, ok well its headless, what config file do i set resolution? [22:48] thats what it says in the "hosts" file [22:49] Mr_Fixit, yes did that and it seems to be - however unsure if its correct will try the options as described on previous url first. [22:49] xintron: Install GTK-pod [22:49] bobbob1016, xorg? [22:49] duiu: I have that installed [22:49] it just started in the last couple days....could it have anything to do with synergy? [22:49] billybigrigger, Oh, that could be the issue. Yeah, I'd say take everything else out of xorg.conf, but make sure to back it up before you do. [22:49] hrmm [22:49] Gendolookin, does this give you anything? grep -i $HOSTNAME /etc/hosts [22:49] kalkan: do you get something when you enter "less /media/sda2/boot/grub/menu.lst" ? Can you get that as well? [22:49] Mr_Fixit, you from calgary? [22:49] xintron: You could trk Amarok, but other than that I'm out of help. I could help you more if it was a ipod touch. [22:49] gaspard, is the DISPLAY variable set in your session? echo $DISPLAY [22:50] yes.. [22:50] why you ask?? how you know???? [22:50] duiu: I use rhythmbox and manually mounting it (leavning no rights to my own user and I can't change that :( ) [22:50] it says 127.0.1.1 taylor-desktop.workgroup [22:50] Mr_Fixit, whois [22:51] Mr_Fixit, thought you were my cousin, he used to rock the name Mr_Fixit a few years ago [22:51] Gendolookin, and what does this give you? hostname [22:51] the output from the grep gave me 127.0.1.1 taylor-desktop.workgroup [22:51] xintron: add yourself to the mount group [22:51] Gendolookin, and what does this command give you? hostname [22:51] Mr_Fixit, your name isn't warren is it? [22:52] xintron: Then you could mount it without sudo. [22:52] taylor-desktop [22:52] duiu, mount group ? [22:52] there's some group that lets you use mount and not be root [22:52] how can I open up my apache2 serv to the internet [22:52] Gendolookin, so there you go .. you don't have an entry for taylor-desktop in /etc/hosts === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [22:53] carandraug, no [22:53] no billybigrigger [22:53] if i do a gedit to the hosts file, it shows taylor-desktoop.workgroup [22:53] sagredo: install the apache2 package and make sure your firewall or router does not interfere [22:54] Gendolookin, taylor-desktoop.workgroup is not taylor-desktop [22:54] right [22:54] unop: echo $DISPLAY [22:54] :0.0 [22:54] Gendolookin, so add taylor-desktop at the end of the line [22:54] I (using my normal user) can't write to my iPod that I manually mounted using "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ipod". How should I edit so I have write access to my iPod? [22:54] i see, well......should i delete the .workgroup or add it to the other? [22:54] carandraug, there is only menu.lst.old [22:54] OH [22:55] hahahah i can't get sudo rights to edit the "hosts" file [22:55] kalkan: pastebin the menu.lst.old then [22:55] Gendolookin: reboot into recovery mode [22:55] nope wait, it worked [22:55] would setting up samba have changed that? [22:56] because i added my windows vista machine to my linux network [22:56] gaspard, how about when you log on as the other user using. sudo -u gaspard2 [22:56] carandraug, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41038/plain/ [22:56] Gendolookin, i don't think so [22:56] welp, whatever did that i fixed it by adding the "taylor-desktop" to the file [22:56] thank you very much guys === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [22:57] why is it [22:57] icesword: why is what?
