[00:00] hkl: system->preferences->appearance then in the "Theme" tab go to install... [00:00] Can anyone shed any light on the "Initramfs" error I mention [00:01] !gsynaptics [00:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about gsynaptics [00:01] O.o [00:01] !touchpad [00:01] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [00:01] lol [00:01] !~ [00:02] test me === netsui is now known as netsui_busy [00:02] \?/ [00:03] wols (and the other kind feller that helped me), i have metacity running, but it doesn't look like the one I had before the window manager crash [00:03] !list [00:03] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [00:03] Does firefox have ftp support by default? [00:03] hello all [00:03] # join polska [00:03] hi [00:03] is there a way to monitor vsftpd connections/xfers sort of the same way top does? [00:03] via cl i mean [00:03] basically it seems that video barely functions on this fresh hardy install. mplayer plays the first two frames while totem plays them at 4 frames a second. moreso, mp3's don't play at all, with no console output that's meaningful, using mplayer or 'play' from sox. [00:03] foxho2: Yeh, it does it like a directory view [00:03] any ideas? [00:04] Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone could explain a use case for triggers in APT. [00:04] Sorry, tell me a use case. [00:04] Flipi: mine doesn't seem to be working. It created the first part of the FTP but not the folder structure. So all I get is Up one dir...No files [00:05] tphilosopher: i've used Debian for about 10 years as my sole operating system and have never used them.. [00:05] tphilosopher: pinning however, yes. often. [00:05] anybody know of a way to give the nm-applet access to the keyring so it can connect to open wifi without asking me for a password? [00:05] foxho2: Download an FTP client? [00:06] julian__: So they're ultimately useless? [00:06] foxho2: yafc [00:06] when I run aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf I get the following: aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor. <- what does that mean? [00:06] foxho2: try gftp or better, use scp -r and be done with ftp [00:06] it is command line but has bash support <- foxho2 [00:06] is anyone aware of any way to monitor vsftpd file xfers and connections via a command line? [00:06] julian__: Thanks. [00:06] foxho2: and way better then ftp [00:07] tphilosopher: all i can say is that i've lived with many Debian systems and have never 'needed' to use triggers. [00:07] billybigrigger: yeah [00:07] billybigrigger: i do it -> tail -f $LOG [00:07] Hi all. I need help - my touchpad on my laptop does not work at all, I have to use a USB mouse. All the stuff is in my xorg.conf, and I even added the line "Load" "synaptics" to the module section but no dice :( === leftyfb__ is now known as leftyfBX [00:07] FamedLoser: then it is wrong [00:07] foxho2: eg to securely copy a remote directory to your local system: 'scp -r you@remotesite:/path/to/some/folder .' [00:08] FamedLoser: what is your touchpad? [00:08] FamedLoser: or what is your laptop [00:08] johnny, stop taking my nick [00:08] foxho2: or you can use rsync [00:08] bye bye now.. [00:08] gaintsura: try sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:08] [00:08] johnny_: if it is yours ghost it [00:08] foxho2: alternatively, to securely copy a local directory to a remote site: 'scp -r /path/to/some/local/folder you@remotesite:/path/to/some/remote/folder' [00:09] richiefrich - the laptop is an Evesham Voyager (or thereabouts) and it's a Synaptics thing. At least, that's what windows calls it, and that's what the Hardy installer detected it as [00:09] legend2440: thats what I did [00:09] i did.. but he consistantly takes it after knowing [00:09] same person [00:09] johnny_: then you didnt ghost it [00:09] johnny_: ass security to the nick ! [00:09] richiefrich: the Hardy installer put all the stuff in the Xorg.conf, all I added was the "SHMConfig" "on" as i've read on the web, and also loaded the synaptics module [00:09] other than that, it's all as Hardy put it but it's never worked [00:10] legend2440: hah, nvm, I missed sudo [00:10] legend2440: do I have to log out and back in to get that to work fully? [00:11] gaintsura: Might have to restart X, or if you prefer, restart your computer [00:11] gaintsura: ctrl+alt+backspace will restart gdm [00:12] richiefrich: any more ideas? [00:12] Stormx2, legend2440: from what I've noticed, ctrl+alt+backspace, is the same thing as logging out [00:12] yes [00:12] ok, just checking [00:12] FamedLoser: what model number laptop [00:12] richiefrich: would it help if I pasted my xorg.conf? [00:12] brb [00:12] C510 ? C55 ? [00:12] C510 ? C550 ? [00:12] Technically ALt-ctrl-backspace ' FORCES' X to shutdown. gdm then restarts X. its not the 'same' as logging out. :) technically [00:12] C720 ? [00:13] FamedLoser: the model number please [00:13] Dr_willis: hehe far from it in fact. [00:13] richiefrich: it doesn't exist. It's difficult to explain. It was purchased through the HCI scheme at my wife's work, so they only manufactured this model for the government subsidy thing [00:13] is octave with octaviz a good replacement/dropin for matlab? [00:13] Dr_willis: ok ty [00:13] 8317 [00:13] richiefrich: sorry, model number printed on bottom is 8317. don't be so impatient had to tip laptop up :p [00:14] student: i've never used it but a couple of friends, one of them a scientist, raves about octave and octaviz. [00:14] bye [00:14] Am I asking a really silly question about this Initramfs error during installation or does no one know about it? [00:14] FamedLoser: im not, you said you didnt know.. i know it was on the bottom [00:14] richiefrich: it was a joke hence the :p you asked twice in short succession :p [00:14] anyone have any ideas on how make powermizer scale correctly on a geforce 6 series laptop ? People usually complain about it not scaling up, I have the other problem which is not scaling down [00:15] Flipi, i would say check/search the forums - often 'hard' probelems are better helped there. or have been asked befor - so the answer is allready there. [00:15] eats battery+ turns my hp into an egg cooker [00:15] richiefrich: when I said I didn't know i meant i didnt know the model name, sorry. It looks the same as a Voyager A610, but since evensham have folded it's more difficult to get detgails [00:16] legend2440: ok, so that went about as I expected... however it didn't fix my previous problem I was working on (before the aticonfig question), direct rendering: no in glxinfo, and ATI Catalyst does not work, says 'Either no ATI driver installed, or ATI driver is not configured properly' I've tried using envy, I've tried using amdcccle, I've even tried the setup without downloading and using eihter, and getting fglrx straight from synap [00:16] tics and configuring it by hand [00:16] Thanks for answering Dr_willis [00:16] !^Z [00:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about z [00:17] If a friend rips a blueray of a movie, so that it's now downloadable, is it possible to play it in Ubuntu? [00:17] julian__: thanks [00:17] FamedLoser: yeah paste the xorg.conf [00:17] gaintsura: is ati enabled in system>admin>hardware driver [00:17] hello [00:17] Emma if you have enough power to play it yes [00:17] cool [00:17] What do you mean by 'power' ? [00:17] blue ray without gpu accelration and offloading takes alot of processing muscle [00:17] what is the discution [00:17] I see. [00:17] can somebody walk me through changing the default keyring password? [00:18] I'am in PARIS [00:18] legend2440: .. erm no, it was not, its now downloading something.. I'd like to know how that happened, it was enabled before [00:18] Traven: same issue with HD stuff? [00:18] hi, could someone recommend a ubuntu release that an IBM T600E with 128MB RAM and 10 GB HDD could handle? [00:18] yeah [00:18] the time please ? [00:18] ok hold on [00:18] gaintsura: is fgrlx enabled in xorg.conf ? [00:18] yes [00:18] Hello everyone. I have a quick question. Can I have multiple video links open with Ekiga? I want to have a video conference between multiple departments and I want each department to be able to see each other.I tried to ask at #Ekiga but no one is active at the moment. Anyone knows?

[00:21] Amélia [00:21] FamedLoser: no [00:21] wireless, video , and touchpad dont ork by default lol [00:21] work * [00:21] M [00:21] debCarlos, please help me identify the process? [00:21] FamedLoser: i said download it and boot the CD [00:21] richiefrich: ok. I'm glad because I just switched FROM OpenSuse [00:21] end. [00:21] FamedLoser: and use that config [00:21] FamedLoser: did it work there [00:21] richiefrich: Hardy detected it ok. just won't use it :( [00:22] FamedLoser: ? [00:22] My default date format looks something like this: dd/mm/yy, how can I change it to be mm/dd/yyyy? [00:22] FamedLoser: did it work there.. in suse [00:22] richiefrich: yeah the touchpad worked, but other stuff didn't :) [00:22] FamedLoser: then you need to boot to it and get that config [00:22] FamedLoser: thats easy [00:22] but OpenSuse doesn't do a live cd do they? [00:22] they do [00:22] i posted a link [00:22] debCarlos, how do I get the process pid? [00:22] jlc: ps aux | grep -i update [00:23] yeah i saw - looking now [00:23] FamedLoser: it one cd or dvd no biggy === _Zeus_ is now known as Zeus === Zeus is now known as Zeus_1 [00:23] FamedLoser: then you mount your drive and cp the suse on over.. make a backup of yours now incase [00:23] Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" [00:23] seems wrong [00:24] So noone has an idea on how to get powermizer working properly? [00:24] jlc: you know.... i think it's better if you look at system->administration->system monitor, it's easier :) [00:24] FamedLoser: but thats my suggestion [00:24] well I won't just copy the file, just in case it screws up glx, but i'll compare the config and try to work out what's different - xorg.conf is easy enough to read [00:24] FamedLoser: make a backup of it then copy it over === Zeus_1 is now known as _Zeus [00:24] richiefrich: thinking about it, although I'm not certain, it may have worked on the Hardy installer too. I'll boot the liveCD for that and check === _Zeus is now known as _Zeus_ [00:24] FamedLoser: if it works your good. if not then diff [00:25] richiefrich: diff was my intention :) [00:25] FamedLoser: i would only diff if you need to.. i am lazy === _Zeus_ is now known as mmomjian === mmomjian is now known as _Zeus_ [00:25] debCarlos, got it, Thanks!

[00:26] jlc: no prob :) [00:26] sure it is an installer and a liveCD [00:26] richiefrich: thanks, I know how to copy files I administer IRIX servers all day. not that you could know that [00:26] richiefrich: the one I have (OpenSuse 10.2) isn't a liveCD - it's the full install dvd (you don't get a desktop on this one) === Alex-Hopper is now known as Alexander [00:27] richiefrich: thanks for the help. I'll try them both, be back later === Alexander is now known as AlexHopper [00:27] how much is the ubuntu server like the desktop?

[00:52] Alan_M, uhh.... didn't know it :) [00:52] cr1, "mke2fs -S" is very much a last-resort kind of operation [00:52] crl, are you referring to the master boot record (MBR)?

[00:58] kk [00:58] _Zeus_, I looked in /boot/grub/menu.lst at the different options, and it points to (hd0,3) [00:59] Guys, can we use english only in this room? thanks :) [00:59] howdy. i am trying to understand a security issue and so i'l give more details even if ya allready know them. i'm using sudo instead of loging to root, like we all do, and sometime i'm using the single user mode on boot to fix things. my concern is that everyone that may reach my console may have the same option. reboot and get a root access. using a bios password is not enough, we all know that. encryption is good before you boot. using a live cd one can m [00:59] odify the kernels installed and can somehow find the password for the encrypted partitions or do other things. is there any other solution to protect the /boot partition? ya, sure,i do lock the door but i still have windows on this room. :D [00:59] !someone | TornadoChas3r [00:59] TornadoChas3r: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[00:59] Can i play frets on fire with a ps3 control ? [00:59] <_Zeus_> root0: what's wrong with a BIOS pw? [00:59] FamedLoser: thats not good [00:59] <_Zeus_> graelb: yeah that's fine go with (0,3) if that's what grub says now [01:00] I thought I could get a rise back speaking spanish [01:00] richiefrich: no :) [01:00] PorkSod1, why would you want that? [01:00] FamedLoser: where is that from [01:00] _Zeus_, I still want it set up so it'll dual boot, will it automatically do that, or will i need to write down the other partition too? [01:00] _Zeus_, nothing. just use a jumper on a desktop system and is gone. [01:00] FamedLoser: mine or opensuse [01:00] a wile ago i deleted my account and recreated it, and now my display does not go to sleep... it will sleep if i sit at the login (GRM) but not when I am logged in, so do i need to be ain a particular group for that to work? [01:00] PorkSod1, please dont try irritating us, it wouldnt be to your benefit :) [01:00] root0: what about a grub password [01:01] <_Zeus_> graelb: you will need to add it back in [01:01] good to know =) [01:01] thank you sir!

Take a look at the man page. It seems you have to place the file in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ [01:55] timboy did u read y said?

(i alway sdo the directory owner route) [02:18] Dedicated: You are waiting for the Chinese to code for linux?

[02:19] There is a is a 'red flag linux' i belive.

[02:20] Amazing thing about Communists - its always missunderstood. :) [02:20] hanif communism and chinese communism are not the same in design [02:20] hmm, amarok isn't actually playing the tracks [02:20] the chinese communist government is very controlling and corrupt.

[03:40] MolePrince, examine the output of rsync [03:40] bofh80, that's what was confusing me, i have no idea what eth0:avahi is, it comes in after the information for eth0 (where ud think eth1 would be, for example), this entry has a corresponding inet addr: and bcast:<...> and mask:<..> whereas eth0, the one you asked about, does not [03:40] unop, no release found [03:40] fbc, what version are you on? [03:40] does that make any sense? [03:40] !version | fbc [03:40] fbc: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [03:40] 8.04 [03:40] unop, 8.04 [03:40] dunn357: maybe you are better off pastebinning your output [03:40] dunn357: use pastebin and paste everything on the terminal [03:40] fbc, ahh, right, that explains it .. you are on the latest version. [03:40] !pastebin [03:40] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:41] fbc, sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [03:41] unop, yep [03:41] unop: It's for about 200 thousand files. I didn't happen to see which ones as they scrolled past. [03:41] fbc, and you should be sorted. :) [03:41] ok, however im on a different computer at the moment (seeing as the linux one wont connect) so let me find a way to bring that here [03:41] dunn357, can you scroll up and follow the nslookup instructions? [03:41] MolePrince, well, run rsync again then [03:41] !ls [03:41] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:41] MolePrince, and this time make a log. rsync -options src/ dest/ &> /tmp/rsync.log [03:42] he [03:42] unop, thank you!! You are awesome! [03:42] sorry, please bear with me: nslookup instructions? i dont see something like that, shall i just retype the output? [03:42] MolePrince, or better rsync -options src/ dest/ | tee /tmp/rsync.log [03:42] fbc, :) [03:42] dunn357, type in nslookup and hit return on the terminal [03:42] dunn357, should see > . type server and hit return [03:43] takes me to a prompt: > [03:43] unop: Trying that, thanks. [03:43] dunn357, it should list the ip address of the router . . . [03:43] that it does not do :c [03:44] dunn357: did you type server? [03:44] anyone know what the solution is to fixing the opengl 100% cpu utilization issue? [03:44] haiii [03:44] full command please? [03:44] dunn357, at the > prompt type server and hit return [03:44] make me a sandwhich [03:45] oic, doing [03:45] i get: 127.0.0.1 [03:45] as default server [03:45] address: 127.0.0.1#52 [03:45] dunn357, ok, do you know your routers ip address? [03:45] dunn357, 52 or 53?? [03:45] default server and address are the following to entries ( ::1 and ::1#53) respectively [03:46] 53 both times, typo! [03:46] not 52, 53 [03:46] copy and paste already :) [03:46] he can't [03:46] cant! different computer [03:46] with no internet [03:46] dunn357, ok, do you know your routers ip address? [03:47] yeah [03:47] sec getting it [03:47] heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [03:47] 192.168.1.1 [03:47] hi guys [03:47] lady, no need for that. [03:47] thats the routers address, but not the one comcast assigns it, taht the one for local network [03:47] q: anyone familiar with mysql, im having some trouble staring up a new database [03:47] dunn357, at the > prompt type server ip.ad.re.ss sooo server 192.168.0.1 or whatever [03:47] dunn357, yer the local address [03:48] dunn357: do you have a usb drive? [03:48] yeah i do [03:48] dunn357, if you type ipconfig /all into a cmd box on your windows, it will tell you dns and default gateway IP, which will be the router [03:48] then copy and paste into a file.. put it into a usb drive.. bring it to this computer then PASTEBIN [03:48] bofh, it outputted default server: 192.168.1.1, address: 192.168.1.1#53 [03:49] dunn357, your ubuntu box? [03:49] yeah [03:49] dunn357, oh i c cool.. [03:49] dunn357, ok type www.google.com and hit return. at the > prompt [03:49] k [03:50] connection timed out, no servers could be reached [03:50] bofh, im sorry cant access windows computer at the moment, familiar with osx? [03:50] dunn357, ok so it aint talkin at all really then i spose. networkin [03:50] ah [03:50] hello:? [03:51] is there a admin on here? [03:51] dunn357, ctrl+c outta that, or close it and bring up another terminal, and type ping 192.168.1.1 and tell me what it says [03:51] djhash, ok let me go find one (i have portable HD if it comes to that) [03:51] ok will do that first bofh [03:52] several pings, Destination Host Unreachable at end of each line [03:52] On my machine, Totem is stretching videos vertically. I have traced this problem back to the "xvimagesink" in GStreamer, as when I use the "Test" button in gstreamer-properties' video tab, the video window is stretched vertically. Selecting the "X Window System (no Xv)" (ximagesink) makes the Test appear with the correct aspect ratio. What can I do to further troubleshoot this issue? [03:53] dunn357: double check the cable connection.. see if the LED on the router is lit for that connection.. and check to see the ethernet card's led is lit too... [03:55] dunn357, when you run ifconfig , does the avah link IP address start with 169 . ? [03:55] ok, connected USB drive (djhash cables OK), what did u want me to save for u? [03:55] let me do it again bofh [03:55] bofh, yes it does: 169.254.5.188 [03:56] first.. the output of "ifconfig" [03:56] hello all anyone knowsomething good to do in ubuntu' [03:56] ok [03:56] cutandbrused: play around with compiz-fusion [03:56] dunn357, djhash bofh80 , is this wireless? eth0:avahi ??? [03:56] dunn357, ok, this means, the cable should be seated correctly, but for some reason it's not recieving an IP address.... you could try what he says, unplug the lead, plug it back in, this will force it to retry . . . [03:56] hellow im trying to run a tftp server in ubuntu im moving from windows so i dont know how i need to host a file [03:57] I'm getting a kernel panic after booting. Specifically right after "Linux Live End, Starting Distribution" There is some "Init: 3248374pi34h23" then kernel panic madness? [03:57] SeaPhor, no, eth0 is the network connection on the pc physically, wireless is usually wlan0 or similar [03:57] SeaPhor: no wireless on this computer, let me get you the output 1 sec [03:58] sorry, no wireless on the ubuntu box i mean [03:58] bofh80, i know, but he is type-copying, avahi sounds odd [03:58] what is a good osd software the will display images, much like when you mute your sound on a laptop? [03:58] dunn357, when you unplug / plugin the lead, you should see a litle green circle thing appearing on the network icon in the top right, you ever seen that? [03:59] SeaPhor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_(software) [03:59] SeaPhor, the avahi thin is releated to the dhcp client dhclient3 afaik and pops up like that when it does not recieve an address [03:59] ok, here it comes: [03:59] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:8f:cd:6c:17 inet6 addr: fe80::213:8fff:fecd:6c17/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:20 Base address:0xb400 [03:59] eww [03:59] is there a way to make backup images using an ubuntu live CD?

[04:00] dunn357: use pastebin [04:00] shall i do line by line? (im on a os x machine, running a VERY simple irc) [04:00] dunn357: go to the address FloodBot2 told you.. paste it in there.. submit then give us the link [04:00] ok will do [04:01] dunn357, are there lights on the router, indicating that the network lead is connected properly? [04:01] dunn357, from what you pasted up there, your not recieveing or sending a damn thing on the cable [04:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41107/ [04:01] omg [04:01] there it is :) [04:02] dunn357, yes as expected [04:02] i was thinking i needed new drivers for the card, or something, it seems eth0:avahi is trying to do what eth0 SHOULD be doing, from my limited newbie experience' [04:02] dunn357, can you report on the lead situation ? [04:02] lead? [04:02] dunn357, ignore the avahi thing, it's perfectly normal [04:03] the cable connection.. [04:03] o [04:03] yeah it seems so [04:03] lights on [04:03] dunn357, are there lights on the router to indicate that you have it plugged in properly [04:03] I need some help geting my mic to be usable in skype, I can hear myself speakign n my speakers but skype hears nothing [04:03] dunn357, if you unplug, and plug it back in, can you see a little green circle appear on the network icon, in the top right hand cornor? [04:03] what is the default numerical permissions of /var/www?

[04:06] does it at least detect the NIC tho? [04:06] dunn357, on the menu goto System > Administration > Network pls [04:06] ok [04:06] done [04:06] dunn357, does it list a wired connection [04:07] yes, it does [04:07] dunn357, press unlock [04:07] done [04:07] it was on "roaming" but i changed it to "dhcp" before coming here [04:07] dunn357, does it say that it's in roaming mode [04:07] bofh80, it was by default [04:07] Where's the icon for gparted? [04:07] but i had changed it [04:07] Like what menu [04:07] dunn357, ok flick it back to roaming mode. i'm not sure the green circle thing works when it's not :S [04:08] oic! === lizzie__ is now known as lizzie [04:08] dunn357, it's like a newish feature, the next version of ubuntu has a better one now. well rather, an improved one :). network manager.

[04:09] dunn357, so yer, flick it back to roaming, ok it all, then unplug the lead for a sec, jam it back in a see if we get a fancy green curcle around the network icon hte top right [04:09] bofh80, nothing on unplug and replug [04:09] or at least, no circle that i noticed [04:10] dunn357, tis a bit odd like. but the lights come up on the router. very strange lol [04:10] dunn357: type.. in terminal "sudo ifdown" then type "sudo ifup" [04:10] dunn357, type in ifconfig, see if anythings changed . .

[04:33] [1]+ Done sudo NetworkManager [04:34] DOT3CH: it shouldn't matter... I ran glxgears for like an ENTIRE minuite and I was getting perfectly steady 390 fps. Then I closed it and IMMEDIATELY ran it again, and it dropped down 100fps... wtf!? [04:34] dunn357: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces please [04:34] mneptok, did we mention the light on his router is off for that machine [04:34] last line ^ [04:34] dunn357, type sudo ifdown eth0 again pls [04:34] Anonymous is Legion. Anonymous does not forgive. Anonymous does not forget.

[04:36] thats all she wrote [04:36] is there something funky going on with the latest kernels? my ppp masquerading stopped working after updating kernel and rebooting... i've got a few years linux experience and i've checked the obvious things... ip_forwarding is on, nat tables have the masquerade rule (which is counting packets it claims to be masquading) [04:36] o [04:36] are there any ubuntu command line applications to monitor the current upload/download speed of a particular network interface? [04:37] not anything that i've seen on the networking end of things [04:37] bofh80, same deal on ifup, but now its doing the DHCPDISCOVER thing again [04:37] is it a plain install or distupgrade? [04:37] Hamled: yeah [04:37] dunn357, no light? [04:37] none [04:37] you think i outta just buy a new NIC? [04:38] dunn357, it's strange, i don't think it would normally try to get dhcp unless the connection was up, which it aint, rather odd [04:38] dunn357: I doubt that the NIC died since you installed ubuntu [04:38] networking works fine from the gateway itself... just wont forward packets for things on the lan behind it [04:38] i can assure you im throughly confused [04:38] :) [04:38] dunn357: are you on a laptop or a PC? [04:39] djhash, i agree, but i believe there is some problem with it [04:39] deasktop* [04:39] StratPlayer money says its your config [04:39] dunn357, maybe ubuntu is loading the wrong driver. djhash what was that command you gave him, so we can get him to tell us the exact realtek chipset [04:39] 99 times out of a hundred with that sort of description [04:39] djhash, at the moment on a laptop, sitting next to the desktop that is my ubuntu box [04:39] i can ping the gateway, and can ping the local side of the ppp interface from the lan [04:39] lspci | grep Ethernet [04:40] the output from taht command: [04:40] Hamled: try ifstatus [04:40] need to install it [04:40] yah [04:40] 01:05.0 Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) [04:40] thanks :) === `Makar is now known as Makar[gone] [04:41] * Makar[gone] leaving at: 10:40pm for Reason: Sleep/School [04:41] dunn357: the 8139 works very well. [04:41] dunn357, damn you couldn't get more generic, should work out of the box afaik [04:41] * mneptok has a few [04:41] fab3: i'm using the 'ipmasq' package... but ive also tried flushing all the iptables rules and putting in a SNAT in the postrouting table going out my ppp interface and that didn't work either [04:41] who was it that wrote the software that checks if a certain command is provided by some package whenever you enter an invalid command? That is super useful === netsui is now known as netsui_dine [04:41] dunn357: did you play with firewalls, proxies, or any other such software> [04:41] ? [04:42] Hamled: what do you want [04:42] dunn357: did you have internet on the liveCD? [04:42] StratPlayer its really hard to say. i don't really feel like troubleshooting firewall and routing rules over irc [04:42] mneptok, but surely that wouldn't stop the lights on the ehternet connection comin up [04:42] Hamled: you mean apropros [04:42] StratPlayer do you have a working backup of your config? [04:42] djhash, like an idiot i never tried it, just installed right away [04:42] Hamled: or dpkg [04:42] ? [04:42] bofh80: it might if the software disabled the interface entirely [04:42] mneptok i dont believe s [04:42] so [04:42] are you by any chance running a vmware install and can roll back to a known working config? [04:42] beyond that its out of the scope of the chan for the most part [04:42] dunn357: then i'd try another cable [04:43] mneptok, now that would be a seriously hard firewall to crack ;p [04:43] richiefrich, I just mean the aspect of dpkg or apt or whatever it happens to be, such that when I type "ifstatus" and it doesn't find that in my path, it checks the local cache to see if some package provides taht [04:43] *that [04:43] bofh80: nothing a plane ticket and a glass of water wouldn't solve ;) [04:43] guys, on windows sometimes it would say the card isnt ther and id have to pysically pull it out and put it back in for Device Mgr to recognize it, i chalked taht up to typical windows annoyance, maybe there is somehardwar reason wit this for this however? [04:43] Hamled: doesnt mean it isnt there if it isnt in the PATH [04:43] mneptok, been there done that, wore the tshirt. well he says' he tried a different cable '[ , but then to begin with, he said the light was on [04:44] dunn357: the card is seated fine, or Linux would not ID it. try another cable. [04:44] mneptok, tried that under the instruction of some ppl here [04:44] dunn357, what out of the PC or out of the box? [04:44] i will try changing cable again tho [04:44] brb [04:44] Hamled: but yeah thats a package managers job..well a good one [04:44] dunn357 definately possible. itsounds like you eliminated the normal software related issues. you haveto now have a spare cable and spare nic to remove those variables from the equation [04:44] dunn357: try a different port on the router. === tim_ is now known as botschmit [04:44] a lot of times its the stupidest thing [04:44] dunn357, wiggle the bloody lead in the socket till the light comes on man!!! [04:44] fab3: i haven't changed my config, just upgraded kernel to linux-image-2.6.24-19-rt_2.6.24-19.41 - rebooted, no more masquerading... [04:44] richiefrich, well, maybe it's been around for a while, I know I never noticed it until 8.04 [04:44] i will try different port with different cable, and a few such combinations and get back to you [04:45] but what am i looking for? [04:45] green circle top right? [04:45] wh cter goes to hibernate mode, i cant get it started again? whats the deal? [04:45] StratPlayer boot back into the other kernel and test? [04:45] or just lights to come on? [04:45] dunn357, wiggle the lead till the LIGHT on the router comes on [04:45] sorry its a non answer, just throwing it out there [04:45] dunn357, we can't help till that happens at least :P [04:45] gotcha! wil try taht now [04:45] when my computer goes to hibernate mode, i cant get it started again? whats the deal?

[05:03] yes [05:03] yes [05:03] Vialas: Eventually one of the higher level computers (or routers) spits back the IP [05:03] so how do i make www.vialas.com go to my computer [05:03] for example [05:03] richiefrich: /etc/init.d/gdm restart <-- still desn't wrk [05:03] if you registered that domain, yes [05:03] what about for an internal network?

[05:07] so you just call up your domain registrant and have them point the record over [05:08] oh ok [05:08] even if i quote it still looks up everything [05:08] cool [05:08] i've figured it out, thanks [05:08] Vialas: ooh ok so you want to setup apache [05:08] Or you give your ubuntu server the same IP as the windows one [05:08] Vialas, is your 200 box in your own internal local network? [05:08] take the windows one offline first of course [05:08] yes in my own internal [05:08] Cpudan80: then lan wont matter unless he has a dns server [05:08] Vialas, then you have a router that connects the net for it? [05:08] lol.. this is becoming the networking channel.. [05:08] and then somewhere along the line the UNI (its a uni website) sends it so external can see [05:08] Vialas, and the ubuntu box will be connected to the same router? [05:08] Vialas: jst port forward to the linux box [05:09] richiefrich: Right - as I said - edit the DNS server so that it has a static entry over to whatever the URL was [05:09] yes that is correct richiefrich [05:09] Vialas, you change the port forward from the router, change it to forward to the ubuntu IP instead of the Windows one for POrt 80 [05:09] cool :D [05:09] Vialas: setup apache on linux and copy your info to that box .. on your router port forward to the linux box.. no dns needed changing [05:09] Vialas: unless [05:10] you are running your own dns server [05:10] k [05:10] if you are using like godaday [05:10] godaddy [05:10] thanks for your help!!!!

[05:16] pan: use xnest [05:16] xnest doesn't seem to work [05:16] sudo apt-get install xnest? [05:17] who know how to unisntall kubuntu with kde4 ? [05:17] i'am install gobuntu-desktop [05:17] xnest doesnt give you the full capability, like vnc [05:18] sudo aptitude purge kde4 ? [05:18] can someone help me to get a custom splash screen installed [05:18] uh [05:19] xnest is a full xsession [05:19] std desktop w/o hw accel yes but whats the point [05:19] xnest gives you more than vnc [05:19] vinc is a horrible hack that barely works [05:19] might as well virtualise [05:19] xdmcp is far superior to vnc [05:20] xdcmp is bloat [05:20] uh no [05:20] uh yes [05:20] lol your not too clear on how any of this works, are ya? [05:20] unop, that's what a lan connections for. otherwise NX works just great [05:20] since you're on the subject of xnest. Does anyone know how to start a chrooted X in xnest or Xephyr? I just cant seem to get it to work. [05:21] if you want to critique xdmcp for anything, you can do it for being chatty [05:21] I have a bootlogo cpio archive [05:21] how to extract it and see what is inside [05:21] its rather inefficient bandwidthwise, but that can be fixed by putting a proxy between x and the network [05:21] fab3, vnc is much more optimised for the job than xdcmp is .. if you'd like.. try and use it over the internet :) [05:21] bbl init 6 [05:21] ideally x would have something like that built in and run nice and smooth [05:21] is there a alternative to xchat on ubunta? [05:22] unop i understand what you are saying [05:22] unop, as a remote control over the NET VNC is crap. bottom of the barrel === naught102 is now known as naught101 [05:22] does ubuntu live cd offer any gui ftp clients and/or a ftp deamon? [05:22] fab3, ;) i do know what i am talking about [05:22] i cant find it in the docs [05:22] however your overgeneralization suggests that you con't know wht vnc actually is in comparison to xdmcp [05:22] they are different things [05:22] fab3, sure they are -- and i can justify my stance on xdcmp being the way it is [05:23] x is fare superior conceptually. it simply stagnated for so many years that the protocol it self is simply chatty [05:23] no has anything to justify anything to you [05:23] hi, there seems to be a Recommended update (for virtualbox-ose-modules-generic) in my update manager that has always been greyed out and i cant remove from the manager's list. how do i get rid of it? [05:23] you can stick forks up your ass for all anyoe cares [05:23] fab3, language [05:23] I have it too, but is says BREAK [05:23] the point is x simply isn't optimised yet and that is true [05:23] unop, VNC is worse than pcanywhere, which says everything, you want decent remote control over low bandwith, the term is NETOP and nothing else [05:24] how do i install XMLStarlet [05:24] bofh80, ok ok .. let's forget this debate, it's offtopic [05:24] Can anybody help me troubleshoot why this external USB drive isn't showing up? [05:24] Hi, how do I change the permissions of a partition? its in ext3 [05:25] Amerikan, what kind of data on it? [05:25] sudo chown and sudo chmod [05:25] unop: None really. 3 folders. one document [05:25] Anyone? [05:25] Amerikan, sudo chown -R $USER.$USER /path/to/mount_point [05:25] puff, does dmesg report anything when you plug it in / disconnect it [05:26] puff the typical answer for me is a problem with the file system [05:26] puff does it mount on other machines maybe? [05:26] you could do sudo fstab -l and see if its visible on the system [05:26] bofh80: what is NETOP? [05:27] anyone know if you can encrypt your ubuntu partition after install is done without it in Hardy? [05:27] fstab -l ?? my lord!! [05:27] unop: I can't find the mount point [05:27] what is the command to pull up video hardware [05:27] bofh80: Yes, but I can't see it mounting. http://pastebin.com/d7fcb613a [05:27] fab3, you want to review your command. [05:27] lol haha [05:27] Amerikan, maybe it isn't mounted yet? [05:27] sudo fdisk -l anyway [05:27] fab3, seriously, fstab is not a command eh [05:27] Gnea, netop remote control. if you can find it, look up danware, a reseller [05:28] anyone else seeing firefox crash EVERY TIME on dailyshow.com ? [05:28] i dub theee CAPTAIN OBVIOUS [05:28] yey [05:28] n3m0, I don't think so [05:28] chuy_max in that case what would you recommend for individual files [05:28] bofh80: oh, it's not open source? [05:29] unop: Is there anyway to see if it works [05:29] n3m0, you can encrypt those files, or shrink your partition, and create a new encrypted partition [05:29] Gnea, no, there is a linux version, unfortunately there are hardly any multy platform, "remote control" programs. that are decent. this is the 'fastest' remote control on earth [05:30] Amerikan, use this command to check if the device is mounted. mount [05:30] bofh80: Ah, more error info showed up in dmesg out put: [05:30] Gnea, barely any of the decent ones are free unfortunaltey, that's why people shout about vnc - ugh. [05:30] bofh80: claiming that it's the fastest out of anything else, seems a bit too bold... thanks, but no thanks. [05:30] bofh80: http://pastebin.com/d31480a1a === dextone is now known as De[X]tone [05:30] hi, there seems to be a Recommended update (for virtualbox-ose-modules-generic) in my update manager that has always been greyed out and i cant remove from the manager's list. how do i get rid of it? [05:30] It is mounted. I think it worked unop :) [05:30] ianm_: works fine here [05:31] Gnea, it's from experience, and i mean experience, i've tested everything out of the box, and i mean everything. this thing works like local over dial up speeds. incredulous [05:31] Amerikan, right, so now use the chown command on the mount point === De[X]tone is now known as dextone [05:31] oh noes [05:31] unop: I know, I did it all . Thank you very much [05:31] playback in rhythmbox is not working [05:31] hi all, is there a linux command i can use that will create a zip file for a windows user? [05:31] anyone seen that? [05:31] so I just got a 32" LCD TV in and my media center's connected to it. I can't get video to come up on it, and I'm so, so very eager. Will someone help me? [05:31] chuy_max thanx I appreciate it, i think im going to give dm-crpyt a try [05:32] egc, you can use tar or zip. [05:32] puff, ok i'm not sure. someone else maybe have a look - who else awas helpin [05:32] !zip | egc [05:32] egc: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [05:32] unop: will a windows user be able to untar a tarball? [05:32] jadams get a properly supported video card like hauppage [05:32] egc, if he uses winzip or winrar, sure [05:32] bofh80: yes, well, i can see you're very enthused about it. perhaps you could be so kind as to redirect that enthusiasm toward solving some more important problems. :) [05:32] jadams__: got room on your couch?? [05:32] fab3, no, it's a vga connector [05:33] unop: winzip -can- handle tarballs? never knew :O [05:33] ianm_, it's a huge couch [05:33] Gnea, well you asked. when you say enthused, i hardly breathed a word till you asked. [05:33] BoltClock, been that way since v8 [05:33] Hi I have an Acer One with intel 945GME chipset but I don't have 3d acceleration [05:33] BoltClock, or perhaps older than that even.. [05:33] can somebody help me? [05:33] audio is fine in firefox [05:33] let me rephrase. I get video during the BIOS boot, but as soon as it hits the linux kernel there's no video from then on out... [05:34] but not working on rhythmbox [05:34] bitfros1: what video driver are you using right now? vesa? [05:34] unop: wow. then i guess its nags are the only reason i abandoned it. [05:34] hi i just bought new corsair usb flash drive using on ubuntu gutsy today stopped wrking after 2 weeks [05:34] gdebi linux-image-2.6.26-5-generic_2.6.26-5.13ecdbg_i386.deb says "This package is uninstallable; A later version is already installed" [05:34] how do I force it? [05:34] jadams__ it doesn't mean that on whatever vid card the vga connectors existthat the vid out is supported [05:34] maybe, maybe not [05:34] fab3: Well, if I can get it mounted on *anything* long enough to nuke the drive, that's good enough. [05:34] what vid card? === mike_ is now known as Guest57019 [05:34] Gnea: no "intel", when i try i950 or i915 it says it does not exists on xorg logs [05:34] fab3, it's an nvidia card [05:35] bitfros1 has installed the intel driver and ubuntu sees it but he still has no 3d [05:35] it can handle the resolution [05:35] here is my /var/log/messages [05:35] unop: cool, thanks [05:35] the tv can handle any resolution [05:35] CarlFK, try using dpkg at the command line. sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.26-5-generic_2.6.26-5.13ecdbg_i386.deb [05:35] it would take 640x480 [05:35] Aug 28 00:28:44 matrix kernel: [ 2075.915463] usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26 [05:35] Aug 28 00:28:44 matrix kernel: [ 2076.048238] usb 5-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [05:35] Aug 28 00:28:44 matrix kernel: [ 2076.049130] scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [05:35] Aug 28 00:28:55 matrix kernel: [ 2086.639263] usb 5-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26 [05:35] Aug 28 00:29:25 matrix kernel: [ 2117.125911] usb 5-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26 [05:35] matrix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:37] yes Gnea [05:37] jadams, i've seen ubuntu black screen boot a few times on certain machines, monitors etc [05:37] puff: a paperclip [05:37] coderipper1983_ LOL [05:38] can anyone help pinpoint error on my new usb flash drive [05:38] puff: you might want to ask in #windows [05:38] whats the error [05:38] !pastebin | matrix [05:38] matrix: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:38] well it just stopped working in ubuntu gutsy [05:38] Gnea: Hey, I was *trying* to do it under ubuntu, but ubuntu won't mount it. [05:38] matrix try using pastebin so the bot don't ban you [05:39] puff: i must have missed something - ubuntu won't mount 'what'? [05:39] puff, when you say nuke, you mean you wantt o perminatly delte the file or something? [05:39] im still wanna know whats up with the flash drive [05:39] it is a new crosair 8 gig flash drive [05:40] everything worked fine [05:40] matrix: what happens when you plug it in? [05:40] i have other flash drives work fine [05:40] Hello! I appear to be having a problem with Internet Connectivity. Certain Applications can connect, while others can't. Sometimes, even only certain parts of an application can connect. it's getting really annoying. Can anyone help me? [05:40] how long you had it for? [05:40] matrix: are you plugging it into a USB port on the computer, or into a USB hub? [05:40] but this new one just stopped after 2 weeks [05:40] Gnea: Yes, you missed something. I have my old ubuntu drive in a USB caddy. It mounted last week and I backed up my old data. Now I need to sanitize the drive and send it back (it was replaced under warranty) and it won't mount so I can't overwrite it. [05:41] matrix they do die [05:41] i tried different ports but i do plug it into computer [05:41] i've had brand new ones die [05:41] matrix maybe just the file system is hose [05:41] yes but 2 weeks use it was brand new [05:41] matrix: have you disconnected every other usb device and plugged only that one in? [05:41] you may just need to format it in fat32 again [05:41] fab3 i think u right [05:41] puff, if you just want to nuke the drive you can do that with 'wipe' without mounting the filesystem [05:41] Gnea this is my Xorg.0.log output http://paste.ubuntu.com/41120/ [05:41] problem is when i do a fdisk -l i dosent show up anymore [05:42] puff, apt-get install wipe and then use fdisk -l to find the device name once it's plugged in. wipe the disk with 'wipe -kq /dev/foo' [05:42] puff, is this drive being sent back as faulty? [05:42] croddy i will try that thanks [05:42] puff: it doesn't need to mount to overwrite - you can just: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whateveritis, or download and use DBAN [05:42] bofh80: Yes. [05:42] if that doesn't work, then it's probably too far gone for you to wipe it. [05:42] puff, have you got a carpet? [05:42] bofh80: I have my old ubuntu drive in a USB caddy. It mounted last week and I backed up my old data. Now I need to sanitize the drive and send it back (it was replaced under warranty) and it won't mount so I can't overwrite it. [05:42] bofh80: It just mounted under winxp, tho. Hm. [05:42] bofh80: A carpet?? [05:42] in the future, consider full-disk encryption so the need to sanitize is less urgent. [05:42] puff, throw the drive in the air and let it hit your carpet [05:42] For example, Firefox is having dificulties using anything AJAXy on a web page. [05:42] :D [05:43] how to run a gnome terminal passing the code page I want to use? [05:43] if it's a magnetic disk such as a hard drive, you can degauss it with a bulk eraser or with extended exposure to a large magnet. [05:43] Gnea, croddy, the problem was, I wasn't seeing anything in dmesg otuput that would tell me what /dev/sdX should be. [05:43] Thunderbird refuses to connect to google, as does pidgin, as it's disconnecting me from GoogleTalk every 20 seconds. [05:43] like $gnome-terminal --charset=iso-8859-1 [05:43] is it ajax that's causing all the slowdowns? [05:43] puff, in that case it's probably too far gone and you'll need magnets. [05:43] VMware can't access the internet. [05:43] or charset=cp850 [05:44] puff, if the drive is being replaced as faulty, rubber mallet is good industry, otherwise, air and carpet work well, as it leaves no physical marks [05:44] you want to drop it flat like [05:44] bofh80, i've dropped a WD raptor onto asphalt from 50 feet numerous times -- you'd be amazed just how sturdy those little cases are [05:44] lopin : have you called your isp to see if they are screwing with the system??? [05:44] yes but i dant even see it in ubuntu it dosent show up anymore [05:44] Filezilla couldn't connect to my work SFTP server all of a sudden one day, when no one changed any settings on th ework server... [05:44] doesn't fire work? [05:44] Hm.... [05:44] Hi there, I just want to confirm this.. On a "default system" in this case ubuntu you can access to root in mysql without password. But this is only for localhost, right [05:44] coderipper1983_, You think this could just be ISP? [05:44] croddy, well that's a raptor [05:45] malianx, yes, you can heat the media to its curie point but that is unlikely to please the disk maker when he opens it to approve your RMA [05:45] croddy, 15 or 18k rpm [05:45] bofh80, it was a 10k [05:45] Any way to mount a subpartition of a dd image? [05:45] yup, give it a try. with the randomness of the problem it may be on there end [05:45] croddy: but it'd be fun [05:45] indeed it would [05:46] coderipper1983_, Okay, thanks... [05:46] puff, doo IT man, don't they expect a f**ked drive in the post anyway? [05:46] genii: yes. loopback, with some offset option... leme googole [05:46] BURN IT!! [05:46] i think they expect a disk with minor electronic failure, not gross physical trauma [05:47] if it needs to look faulty use magnets, if it doesn't matter then snap the connectors off with a cable [05:47] croddy, they've never complained before :S [05:47] and if they do, you turn the halon on them, yeah? [05:47] CarlFK: Thanks [05:47] with enough intoxication ubuntu becomes nicer, although it is good that whole plseaudio thing threw me off [05:47] hmm, amarok keeps failing to send tracks to last.fm [05:47] croddy, beisdes if you order the disks under warranty and then find out, it's the scsi controller, what else are you gonna do [05:47] :) [05:47] hi all, trying to compile overclocking support on my eee. i installed build essentials but when i try to compile the module, i get: make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop. [05:48] or, just toss it and buy another? [05:48] halon works wonders [05:48] bofh80: Well,I'll go have some drinks and see if it seems like a good idea when I get home :-). === dextone is now known as De[X]tone [05:48] gghhahah [05:48] genii: I have done it, it is indeed something like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=711773 - if that doesn't help, it should give you what you need for more google [05:48] it's just like putting the mat on a prisioner before getting the batons out [05:48] doesnt hold a candle to slackware [05:49] slackware's "packaging system" is prehistoric [05:49] CarlFK: Great for a starting point, thanks [05:49] hye [05:49] overclocking is in the bios [05:49] open the drive and take a butaine torch to it then put it back together [05:49] i prefer propane torches myself [05:49] when i open "Azureus magnet link" in firefox it say " Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't associated with any program." [05:49] NemesisD, sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) [05:49] microwave?

[05:51] seb90210: you don't use x? [05:52] seems wrong, if you want icons for everything and one click ready to spy apps go ahead i'm not stoppin you [05:52] FarmCretin: "access" is a bit vague. like is the friend going to sit at the computer, or come in over the Net? [05:52] nick ruxid [05:52] some people remember ips, the rest of us use dns [05:52] unop, No candidate version found for linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic :| [05:52] seb90210, that's why we use ubuntu - UGH [05:53] there are times and places for shortcuts [05:53] malianx of course x is the graphical interface i'm here therefore i use it [05:53] seb90210: I use X for desktop management, basically a workspace with multiple xterms :P [05:53] CarlFK: he will use ssh to login [05:54] FarmCretin, you'll need to create an account for him and configure sshd and your firewall to your liking. you'll also want to set permissions on all the directories to limit his access to just what you've approved [05:54] x is the gui interface, no criticism from me here ever [05:54] FarmCretin, you'll also want to change your umask so files are created by default so he can't read them in your home directory. make sure he is only in the groups he needs. [05:54] NemesisD, see if you have /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic [05:54] FarmCretin: good start. browse this, get some ideas. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html [05:55] NemesisD, what version of ubuntu are you using?

But... one mounted as /mnt, one was /home, what do I do the third? [05:55] is there anyway in linux or x to disable the laptop's built in keyboard (so only the usb keyboard that's plugged in works?) [05:55] guys where is firefox default icon located?

[05:58] I dont know. I have Ubuntu on a 8 gig scsi drive and three IDE hdds for storage. But I coudnt get the ide hdds to mount [05:58] hello! [05:58] Amerikan, leave off, i think he's going to start cryin because he can't pass on the 30 command line switches he knows [05:58] NemesisD, well, if you really insist .. head over to packages.ubuntu.com and download that package to manually install it then . [05:59] i.m fed up. got 3 roomates w/ wistas or xp and none work, all have problems, seriois ones...i'm tired of helping tired tired tired [05:59] bofh80: enough. [05:59] bofh80: I was genuinely curious [05:59] bofh80, please stay on topic [05:59] !ot | seb90210 [05:59] seb90210: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:59] unop, download package "linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic" for gutsy or hardy? [05:59] dumbdum well lets keep ti simple [05:59] seb90210: I know how that goes. I just made the move to ubuntu from xp. Do you have a problem? [05:59] seb90210: if you must rant, do it in the offtopic channel. that's what it's there for. respect it. [06:00] keep your os installed on the scsi drive [06:00] NemesisD, i just told you this doesn't exist for hardy .. so gutsy obviously [06:00] Hello, having iPod issues with Amarok. I've read LOTS of FAQs but none are helping. Is this the right forum? [06:00] then go into the /mnt dir and create three folder to mount them on to [06:00] Steve_Wilde, maybe, but there is a #amarok where you might have more luck [06:00] and we will help you setup fstab so that they mount to those folders so you can storte data on there [06:00] whatever....my mother will not get help with her puter because she has vista ok, she can spend 200 bucks annualy in some service agreement but still not get it [06:00] dumbdum does that roughly make sense? [06:00] seb90210, shut up [06:01] srsly === joe__ is now known as fazuka_ [06:01] I cant get back into the utility i used to change them.? [06:01] i dont have a problem, i'm a linux user [06:01] so i can send a magic packet to have WOL turn a computer on... can i send a similar "magic packet" or something to remotely shut the computer down? [06:01] croddy: please don't encourage him. [06:01] dumbdum well the problem is you mounthe /home onto one of your drives [06:01] Im a complete Linux "newbie"! [06:01] this complicates things by a good amount [06:01] arrrghhh, log in and run 'shutdown -h now'? [06:02] fine croddy, had to get off my chest ok [06:02] that's not all you are chap. that's not all. [06:02] seb90210: type: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [06:02] Hi everybody [06:02] Well, I'll try here first since you left me that little opening :) Amarok moves files into and out of my nano just fine. I can play iPod-resident files through Amarok. I can't play Amarok-to-iPod files on the iPod though. It's as if Amarok isn't updating the iPod DB. I can see the files in the F02 directory, I just can't play them. [06:02] croddy, i'd like to have something that i can schedule with cron on a remote machine... i guess i could schedule it on the local machine, but obviously the script to send the magic packet to wake the computer up would be on a remote machine. [06:03] What if I just reformat and start again? [06:03] arrrghhh, i'd go with shutdown in cron locally for the shutdown. [06:03] steve that might be a better questions for #amarok [06:03] hrm okie. thanks croddy [06:03] umm !res is way out of date or something? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't ask for monitor timings anywhere. ddcprobe won't give me them either. [06:03] Hi [06:03] Hi there, I just want to confirm this.. On a "default system" in this case ubuntu you can access to root in mysql without password. But this is only for localhost, right? [06:03] bdunlap: well hey there, any luck with the bluetooth? :) [06:03] ok, so lets say i want to make a user named andrei, his home dir is /mnt/fantom/videos and he cannot move from that dir. so far i got "useradd -d /mnt/fantom/videos andrei" and i chown the contents of videos to all groups [06:03] Gotcha, thanks. I'll shoot over there first then. [06:04] zcat[1] its true [06:04] When I boot up my system the status bar gets half way and then stalls there for 5 minutes before rebooting. Any Ideas on how I can fix this? I can say I tried to setup a bridge in virtualbox when I was doing it (http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/bridging-virtualbox-162-on-ubuntu-8041/) [06:04] FarmCretin, does he need to do anything besides read those files? [06:04] nope [06:04] tand xorg doesnt detect video chips or monitors properly either awhole lot [06:04] also appearently there is a problem with direct rendering under certain conditions [06:04] okay i got a wierd one. how do you use grep to search a list file and retun on the lines that contain 5ms or less [06:04] you might look into giving him a shell called sftponly [06:04] I managed to uninstall nvidia-xgl === De[X]tone is now known as dextone [06:04] its the usual ubuntu release, each release there is a gotcha [06:04] gnea, hi :-) unfortunately no. although i installed some hardware info thingy and it lists a piece of hardware that it doesn't understand. [06:05] but still no direct rendering [06:05] gnea, I'm looking for it but cant find it now. GRR. :P [06:05] bitfrost i ran into that my self [06:05] you're also going to need to check the permissions on everything else on the system -- there's no reason he can't move outside that dir. [06:05] bdunlap: lshw perhaps? [06:05] croddy: im testing thihs username, but what is the password? [06:05] is it possible to disable the "drop artwork here" icon that shows up in rhythmbox? [06:05] i can't find a fix anywhere or see any solution on the horizon [06:05] unop, says dep not satisfiable :/ i know the package manager has been installing all kinds of new kernels, could this be why? [06:06] FarmCretin, if it didn't prompt you for one, you'll need to set it with 'passwd antrei' [06:06] fab3: so i have an old nvidia card that was working in 1240x1024 from the live CD and after installing nvidia-legacy (-glx or -envy, I tried both) it's running in 800x600. nvidia-settings says I don't have an nvidia card at all. what now? I want to have it running in 1024x768 at 75hz which I know the monitor can do [06:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41127/ [06:06] can anyone suggest a better firewall than firestarter? [06:06] * croddy <3 firestarter [06:06] gnea, i don't know what that is, but it's called "sysinfo" [06:06] NemesisD, quite possibly [06:06] gnea, i found it [06:06] and yes I tried !res and it's no help at all [06:06] NemesisD, what is the exact error message you get? [06:07] gnea, "Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Unknown device 011e" [06:07] Amerikan, try arno-iptalbes-firewall it is very good [06:07] bdunlap: sudo update-pciids and try again [06:07] gnea, i did a search for that and all ive found is it's probably related to hardware *sound* controls [06:08] oh hold up [06:08] bdunlap: ooo, never knew about sysinfo before... sweet [06:09] gnea, i'll past lshw to pastebin it came up with tons of info :P [06:09] Hey guyz i can't get Warcraft 3 to run in WINE, any help?

[07:00] yup [07:00] akep: check out http://appdb.winehq.org/ for details on specific apps [07:00] freeflowcauvery i rmd' the original [07:00] is that why the program i create with vb not work??? [07:01] amt2: not really, even if you have anonymous access disabled, ftp is pretty weak [07:01] akep: stay away from vb :\ [07:01] server mesra.dal.net [07:02] amt2: but if that's what you're looking for, i had good luck with proftpd and vsftpd (vsftp = Very Secure ftpd) [07:05] Is there a log file of installed and uninstalled apt stuff in hardy? [07:05] q_a_z_steve: What are you looking for? theres a few possibilities [07:05] ill try installing filezilla [07:06] q_a_z_steve: use synaptic package manager gui [07:06] I completely hosed my system, I tried reinstalling and it overwrote important data. I don't want that to happen next time I decide to reinstall linux, so is there a guide to setting up usr and home on separate partitions? [07:07] Theaxiom: Manual partitions during install [07:07] Theaxiom, how large do I make the usr and home partitions? [07:07] Theaxiom: Oh a guide... it's pretty straightforward [07:07] q_a_z_steve: there U can switch to status installed [07:07] I am installing Ubuntu onto a 230GB part of the drive [07:07] Theaxiom: Why would you want /usr on it's own partition? [07:08] Maybe I mean etc? [07:08] Hello, I am having trouble with VirtualBox, it keeps saying I don't have the kernel driver installed. I've already updated everything. [07:09] Theaxiom: /etc is for all your system settings, is that what you were thinking of? [07:09] Yes [07:09] Theaxiom: If you're doing it to be able to rescue a hosed system, you'd just want /home/... if you're not sure why you want the others ;) As a new install would just overwrite everything and set it to default [07:09] aj: Same thing happens here. I never could figure out what the problem was [07:09] All my installed applications are gone, etc [07:09] I don't want that next time [07:09] Theaxiom: If your system is "hosed" there's quite a big chance that has to do with files in /etc, wouldnt you agree? [07:09] nevermind I can't explain it [07:10] I just dont want my stuff uninstalled next time I ever have to reinstall the OS [07:10] Theaxiom: You can export a list of installed packages tho [07:10] its too late, it already killed everything [07:10] Theaxiom: it would be pretty tough to keep all your installed programs after doing a reinstall, that's kind of the point [07:10] Soft RAID1 problems (invalid raid superblock magic) anyone? [07:11] can you transfer an entire folder using scp? [07:11] nosilver4u: I had important stuff installed, such as MySQL, etc [07:11] how would i do it if i want to transfer multiple files easily [07:11] nosilver4u: So I lost all my databases [07:11] how is 8.04 x64 to run day to day apps? ie on my laptop? [07:11] Theaxiom: how about /var then, that would save that stuff [07:11] nosilver4u: I don't want that to happen next time [07:12] Theaxiom: you'd still have to reinstall mysql, but the databases themselves are in /var [07:12] its a core 2 duo with 4g ram so i want to have a 64bit os and i remember when x64 ubuntu came out it was a bit of a pickle to get most apps running properly, is that all worked out now? [07:12] nosilver4u: Ok, so that is what I need on a separate partition [07:12] wget http://www.fmod.org/index.php/release/version/fmodapi41609linux.tar.gz [07:12] yup [07:12] tar -xvzf fmodapi41609linux.tar.gz [07:12] why won't that work???

[07:13] toshko: #ubuntu-server [07:13] found what I needed. === SuperLag_ is now known as SuperLag [07:14] Theaxiom: I would think 2-3 GB would be more than sufficient (mostly because apt stores all your downloaded packages there as well) [07:14] billybigrigger, you dont need x64 to get 4gb of ram working [07:14] It works in 32bit aswell [07:15] thanks ;-) [07:15] smmagic, i know thats a windows issue, but i might as well have a 64bit os with this great lappy of mine :P i like to watch hi-def movies and am a power user, usually have 20 windows of crap going haha [07:16] anyone know what i can check to see why ubuntu wont connect to wpa2 personal ?

[07:45] amd [07:46] 1. my compiz does not load automaticly 2. ~/.conf/autostart does not execute bash scripts? [07:47] permissions are now drwxrwxrwx [07:47] Dedi: are they chmodded +x?

[07:53] amt2, sudo asks for your password - not root's [07:53] how much of a performance hit does the ntfs-3g intermediary driver incur? [07:53] unop: then why does it say 'root's password:' ? [07:54] unop: I have a server, which has ts /var/cache shared to save bandwidth so that same repository should be downloaded for each client, but at a time only one can update/install due to archives/lock file... how to solve that? should I create partial dir on server or on clients? [07:54] Hello, I moved all my hardware to another computer case today, and I also added a raid controller and moved some hard drives over to it, but none of them were the system drives. Anywho I decided to reinstall ubuntu and installation goes perfect, etc. When grub loads, and I select an operating system, it says "selected disk does not exist", and it does the same when I try and select Windows. Can someone tell me why grub is doing that? Even after a clean ins [07:54] amt2, maybe you are already logged on as root? [07:54] amt2, actually no, that can't be [07:55] amt2, you probably don't have sudo privileges which allow you to perform admin tasks like installing, etc. [07:55] freeflowcauvery: well but ive installed other things using the Add/Remove [07:56] I find it strange the `date` shows time in 24-hour format (My locale is supposed to be in L.A.) [07:56] i installed ubuntu myself and im the only user [07:56] unop: so? [07:56] What's locale got to do with 24 hour format? [07:56] sauvin: 24 hour format is anti-american [07:57] error404notfound, locking only applies to apt and other tools (on the local machine) .. not the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives .. so if you were to share this directory with other hosts on your network, you don't have to worry about locking [07:57] sauvin: if we switch to it, the terrorists win [07:57] lol [07:57] I use 24 hour format wherever the option exists. [07:57] unop: but archives/lock prevents other machines from updates/install if one is doing so.. [07:58] hello how to view all files aside from "ls" ? [07:58] What do you mean by "view"?

I get the same error message when trying to mount USB Drives and when trying to read a CD [08:03] unop: plus can you tell me what are those Hit, Get, and Ign when I do apt-get update [08:03] dfccarrion: ubuntu hardy [08:04] error404notfound, the /var/cache/apt/archives directory was not meant to be shared via nfs .. it was solely meant as a cache for the local machine .. and it has limitations that just don't make it feasible in your setup [08:05] error404notfound, those are probably because the server does not have the file that apt-get/aptitude wants [08:05] hey, anyone out here figured out a solution to "invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume" ? I get the same error message when trying to mount USB Drives and when trying to read a CD [08:06] thanks [08:07] error404notfound, it's quite easy setting up a local repository .. it's just two commands and a modification to the client's sources.list === _weltall is now known as weltall [08:07] unop: yup, I am considering it..

[08:13] I am running ubuntu server and I have an LCD on a parallel port. The software is okay with /dev/parport0 but not okay with /dev/lp.

[08:43] askvictor: you dont want to do that but you would want to install xubuntu-desktop [08:44] nutricycle, for that one package you dont need to. [08:44] askvictor: they are both dependant on gtk libs so you would need to be careful on what you remove [08:44] Theaxiom, hd3,4 most likely [08:44] ok, i have one more question, i have a usb dj console, if i plug it in will it find drivers itself or will it bork? [08:44] unop: Oh thanks [08:44] gnomefreak: I'm assuming installing xubuntu-desktop would (re)install those libs necessary [08:45] askvictor: you could remove gtk libs and than from TTY install xubuntu-desktop [08:45] What is the cool app that i am probably not running that I should be?

[09:13] how do i create .zip files? [09:13] gsd: You probably manipulated the BIOS so that it reads out now the CPU frequency wrongly. But I am not 100% sure. [09:13] Theaxiom: lol if you did that then you need to write their new positions inside of grub so you have to edit the loading line so that it points to the new location :) [09:13] wasan [09:13] spanther: I have tried all that, and everything, and it still does not work...

The directory prefix is the directory where all other files and subdirectories will be saved to, i.e. the top of the retrieval tree. The default is `.' (the current directory).

[09:18] spanther: Yes I have [09:18] how to update gimp2.4.5 to gimp 2.4.7 in ubuntu8.04? [09:18] check entrys and look what fdisk tells you if these partitions are still fine [09:18] ah ok [09:18] spanther: It is mind boggling and nerve wracking [09:19] someone familiar with VBOX? [09:19] Theaxiom: nah thats the wrong view of sight :) just see it as experience so you have to solve something and this makes fun :) [09:19] spanther: Yes except when I reinstalled, it deleted everything, and I lost mysql databases, etc, so yeah, the fun part is gone. [09:20] ouch o.o [09:20] spanther: It's ok though, I keep MOST things backed up [09:21] spanther: I am chrooted, and looking at my fstab again, all I see are UUID's - is that ok?

[09:23] Theaxiom: if the raid controller has s-ata natively well yes i think [09:23] spanther: It has a SATA port and an IDE port, but I am not using the SATA port [09:23] knu_, what is your question about vbox [09:23] spanther: I have storage drives on the RAID controller [09:24] spanther: Do you think there is a way to get into the firmware settings of the RAID controller?

[09:26] hi. i just installed ubuntu minimal system on a sw-raid1+lvm configuration. now it wants to install lilo - i'd rather like to use grub, is there any documentation on how to do that? [09:26] bazhang: i want 1440 x 900 [09:26] spanther: I will try that, maybe my bios reset itself today somehow [09:26] plus it wants to install lilo on the md0 device but i need it in the MBRs of /dev/sd[ab] [09:27] spanther: Thanks for a new lead to follow, cya later [09:27] bazhang: i already tried to install my normal drivers for ati but it didnt work [09:27] hehe no problem :) [09:27] i have installed midori web browser but the proxy option is not there [09:27] but this "S-ATA" mode switching really breaks ubuntus grub hehe [09:27] spanther: thanks [09:27] knu_, native drivers dont work in vbox [09:28] if you run at compatibility mode dont switch to AHCI after installation otherwise it wont boot [09:28] bazhang: K [09:28] bazhang: and what to do? [09:28] your PCI raid card could have switched to AHCI mode for compatibility reasons with your hardware maybe [09:28] spanther: /dev/sdd5 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 - does that look correct? [09:28] knu_, for getting fullscreen? that should be in preferences but the res will be lower [09:28] spanther: /dev/sdd5 is my / partition [09:28] Theaxiom: well sdd5 doesnt look correct Oo [09:29] sda or hda would look correct but sdd? never saw this before [09:29] bazhang: preferences of vbox or virtual xp?# [09:29] do you have masses of harddrives?

[09:45] arvind_khadri, i do... the whole point is that i want the default ones back [09:46] rconan, then purge away...and then do a fresh install [09:47] can any one help me out in adobe photshop [09:47] arvind_khadri, how would one go about doing it if there are too many dependancies involved to be able to purge it [09:47] gaurav_, as it's a windows app, probably not [09:47] What is the essence of the 'callback' concept in man tpb?

I can connect to anything (I'm behind the box being routed). What's the problem? I suspect iptables might have something to do with it [10:36] I mean, it's mostly done: 98.89gb out of 107, but it's still going [10:36] ibnbasyari, why do you want MS office [10:37] and cancelling that is probably a bad idea, right? [10:37] Using tightvncserver I noticed an ip to have multiple connections to the same vnc desktop, the ip only had one client opened, but multiple were listed in netstat. This causes mouse input to fail on other connections to the vnc as well. Disabling shared connection on the client and connecting causes the mouse to work again. How can this happen ?

Anyway it's impossible. [10:38] ActionParsnip: as far as I could, yes. The other os got crippled by sheer amount of spyware and crap, so I can't really run a fs check on ntfs partitons [10:38] Serial_k: dollars are fairly worthless [10:38] azrael_valedhel: update-manager-core, yes. Its a CLI version of it. [10:38] i know m8 [10:38] no warranty... oh boy im pist [10:38] Serial_k: you from uk? [10:39] azrael_valedhel: it does some safety checks, and makes sure you have proper metapackages installed, etc. It's *perfectly* fine to do it the old fashioned way if you know what you're doing and are comfortable with it [10:39] ActionParsnip: gparted seems to perform some filesystem checks, though, so there's that at least [10:39] asspen187: id check the connector from the botton to your motherboard [10:39] hai ..... !!!!!!!!!!!!

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!

[10:40] how to get restrited driver ? [10:40] when he connects he cuts me off, when i connect i cut him off [10:41] notwist: this is a very little box ;) [10:41] ok, I got you there, I'll try ubuntu way first then ;) [10:41] I mean, it's still copying the same sector, apparently [10:41] Keph: not sure ive always planned my partitions [10:41] ibnbasyari: System _> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [10:41] who do we both view that desktop ? [10:41] ibnbasyari: if you are using ubuntu with gnome there's an option for it in the menu [10:41] hi [10:41] Keph: did you backup before you started? [10:41] Moult: I'm pretty sure it can handle it. xfce is extremly light weight [10:41] notwist: 128mb ram, 8gig hd space [10:41] ActionParsnip: so do I, but that's not exactly my box I'm tinkering with [10:41] thank you [10:41] Moult: I'm pretty sure that will work [10:42] and they CLAIM they've backed everything up, but then again, I'll probably take the blame if they didn't :P [10:42] Keph: then if its not youor own pc you should have definately backed up [10:42] ActionParsnip cant fiddle with my graphics driver. last time i did that i had a tough time! i am using gutsy. i kno other ppl who r facing the same problem [10:42] Keph: as them, you may need to quit which could damage things [10:43] I use ubuntume for server, in ltsp why ubuntume didnt active [10:43] znik: its the wonder of kernel upgrades [10:43] haloo [10:43] !hi | vicha [10:43] vicha: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [10:44] ActionParsnip: is there any way I can check whether gparted's actually doing anything at the moment? [10:44] ActionParsnip sorry but couldnt get what u r saying?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [10:46] dGodFatheR: i believe vnc only likes one connection. Ive not used it [10:46] ActionParsnip if i do the upgrade thing then i would have to upgrade the graphics driver too! which i dont want too [10:46] !vnc | dGodFatheR [10:46] dGodFatheR: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [10:46] btw! I have a really annoying problem. My compaq server wont boot without a keyboard. Ive been looking in the bios but i cant find any way to turn the control off. anyone know of a solution? [10:47] ok, seems everything beside moving the progress window and pressing the cancel button is unavailable for some reason [10:47] hm... couldn't insstall update-manager-core - changed sources.list, and while updating it shows "Unknown error when running gpgv" (well its no english, but its what it would be) [10:47] znik: try it, you can always choose the kernel you have now if its bad, it doesnt remove the old kernel unless you tell your system to [10:47] was ist ein transienter ordner?

[10:49] ActionParsnip: yeah it probably does but it makes sense that you need some kind of gpg packet to decode the keys or... something I'm not sure. I'm just shooting blind :P [10:49] ok, screw this, I'll get back to that in the evening [10:49] just in case, are there any tools for recovering data from (hopefully not) demolished ntfs partitions?

[11:13] ActionParsnip: ssh won't be good for me i wont something that includes controlling the remote machine gui [11:13] vadi, although having to remove your driver from the blacklist suggests it might be a bit unstable [11:13] on the remote end [11:13] i am connecting to it with a client [11:13] well, if you have it on your end, I could connect and show it to you right away.. [11:13] dGodFatheR: oic [11:14] well i don't have on my end [11:14] but can you explain? i will try that [11:14] do you have two PCs?

[11:16] vadi: get websearching dude [11:17] michelem: you'll need a few libs [11:17] dGodFatheR: sure... [11:17] can you tell me what am i supposed to do in order to be able to connect to a remote pc(linux) and view it's desktop in parallel to the local user [11:17] I have libncurses-dev in /lib64 and I need the same under /lib32 [11:17] michelem: then sudo dpkg -i --force-arch I believe will make it ignore the different architecture [11:18] well [11:18] michelem: is there no 64bit deb? [11:18] i am waiting :) [11:18] I though there was some specific repository === anhhung is now known as IntangibleLiquid [11:19] dGodFatheR: Are you not receiving private messages? [11:19] michelem: what for?? [11:19] i feel sick [11:19] is there any reference in package names to understand whether a package is 32 or 64 bits? [11:19] yeah i really dont feel good right now [11:19] i386 and x86_x64 [11:19] im sick [11:19] arvind, i see restricted drivers nothing is there [11:20] That was aimed at you michelem. [11:20] its blank [11:20] michelem: if youo use repos the correct architecture will be used [11:20] man i feellike crap [11:20] vadi, then download drivers from the site [11:20] i better go [11:20] asspen187: thats offtopic and no one cares [11:20] Orbixx: neither of those are specified on a normal basis in package names I see [11:20] oh man you dont care dang [11:20] I see that "show" shows the binary format under "Architecture" [11:20] michaelem: They won't be if there's only one architecture release. [11:20] ok i have drivers and source code which one i need to download plz [11:21] There* [11:21] oh yes lib32ncurses5 [11:21] vadi, drivers [11:21] how long will it take to train a teacher to teach Ubuntu in your estimate? [11:21] dGodFatheR: are you still around? [11:21] lib32 gives it away [11:21] Three, two. [11:21] dGodFatheR: please visit http://www.tightvnc.com/ [11:21] IntangibleLiquid: depends how deep you teach [11:21] IntangibleLiquid, depends on the student :) [11:22] does xubuntu support drivers for old computers getting online via that usb conection thing? [11:22] ActionParsnip: it seems you may be right - its 2002 here x_x [11:22] so I guess the convention is no reference for "default arch" and to add 32 somewhere otherwise [11:22] haha bingo [11:22] ok i download it how i can install it plz [11:22] most of the curriculum I'm building is web-based (google docs, wikipedia, google search, goanimate, etc) [11:22] if its 1999 id start singing the Prince song [11:22] vadi, ok now just unzip the source you got... [11:22] michelem: There is variation. But if it's not specified and you're getting from repos - assume it's the correct architecture. [11:23] Otherwise, look for tell-tale signs. [11:23] Like 32 and 64, or i386 and x86_x64. [11:23] I want children to obtain an average level of using Edubuntu [11:23] yes i did then [11:23] how to navigate [11:23] create files and folder [11:23] open education apps [11:23] Teach them C. [11:23] basic things people normally do with an OS [11:23] Start it at an early age :D [11:23] IntangibleLiquid: about a week as they are kids [11:24] vadi, read the install notes you will find in the unzipped directory [11:24] hey [11:24] IntangibleLiquid: kids pick up those things real fast.... [11:24] IntangibleLiquid: teachers should be a matter of days [11:24] IntangibleLiquid: There is no way of giving you a good estimate. [11:24] oh yeah i saw it i will try and come back if i have problem and thanx for u r kind help [11:24] vadi, sure [11:24] Some of them will flunk it and have no idea or interest. [11:25] ok, seems like I have some good answers, thanks guy [11:25] Some of them will pick it up very quickly and enjoy it. [11:25] IntangibleLiquid: its a case of string lengths ;) [11:25] Indeed it is. [11:25] Can I unzip a windows 7-zip file in ubuntu= [11:25] Finnish: With great difficulty. [11:25] !7zip | Finnish [11:25] Finnish: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [11:25] ok [11:26] if I say I'd like to spend 6 months for Ubuntu before moving to web-app [11:26] do you think it's too long and boring for the kids [11:26] ? [11:26] the length of the affpre mention piece of string is twice as long as half its length [11:26] Depends what you're teaching. [11:26] IntangibleLiquid: dues to diversity, some will love it some will hate it [11:27] ActionParsnip, all the kids I've played with love computers [11:27] I've just upgraded a Thinkpad X61 from Gutsy to Hardy, and now when I dock it to my external monitor and select screen resolution, I no longer see 1400x1050, which is the native res of both the laptop and the external display. How can I choose a custom res? [11:27] IntangibleLiquid: then yuo got a score [11:27] IntangibleLiquid: Keep the ball rolling. [11:27] join #ubuntume [11:27] If you see signs of boredom, change the topic. [11:27] and since the kids I'm planning to teach [11:27] are disadvantaged children [11:28] Finish the lesson and change the topic for the next lesson. [11:28] doctorow: you may need to reconfigure graphics [11:28] they have very little experience with Windows [11:28] so it's easier for them to migrate to Linux [11:28] hi guys ! [11:28] ActionParnsip: how do I reconfigure graphics? [11:29] will let you guys know about the official program when everything is setup properly [11:29] doctorow use ENVYNG [11:29] doctorow: you may need to reinstall the graphics driver, do like you did in the original install and it sohould pop back [11:29] Hi guys, has anyone got any experience kickseeding ubuntu installs? The %pre is running to early for me to detect the HDDs installed in the machine with list-devices [11:29] dam0: doesnt work with some graphics cards [11:30] What's ENVYNG? [11:30] doctorow: what graphics card does the lappy have? [11:30] about server setup, I pondering over either LTSP or traditiona fat-clients [11:30] because if the cost of purhasing individual pcs is equal to the cost of a server [11:30] theres no point to work with the thin-client set up, right? [11:30] hello everyone! [11:31] IntangibleLiquid: id do a throurough study [11:31] IntangibleLiquid: rather than asking randoms [11:31] i've a problem with audio, si when i plug my listener , there is no sound :) [11:31] need help. whats the average load cycle per minute?? [11:31] ActionParsnip, that's true :) [11:31] is anyone able to access no.archive.ubuntu.com via ipv6? [11:31] IntanigbleLiquid: Don't forget the cost of upgrading - is many PCs cheaper than a single server then? And also its more about having centralised control over apps etc which you don't get with multiple fat clients [11:32] shok: which soundchip? have you checked compatibility list and unmuted software mixers? [11:32] narimanm: for? [11:32] ActionParsnip it's an Intel 965 [11:32] greets! [11:32] unohu: for my harddrive. [11:32] with the chipset realteak :) [11:32] doctorow: ok then get websearching for that for ubuntu support you'll get a walkthrough [11:32] MilkFloat, thanks! [11:33] hi, can someone help me to understand why I have one wifi card, but when i do ifconfig -a, I have wifi0 and ath0 [11:33] does this site make your firefox crash ? http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Text-Editing-Processing/IDEs/Python-rope-12047.shtml [11:33] ActionParsnip Can yo be a little more specific, please? [11:33] visik7: No. [11:33] is there any relation between wifi0 and ath0? [11:33] !wine [11:33] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [11:33] doctorow: you need to search for a guide to setup your graphics card in ubuntu [11:34] back again ;) hm, cant set that date - date -s 082812322008 "should" work, or am I missing something? [11:34] Orbixx: wait few seconds [11:34] doctorow: so hit up your favourite search engine and type something like ubuntu intel 984 or whatever it is, use your loaf [11:34] visik7: It's been up for a while. [11:34] Orbixx: :( [11:34] azrael_valedhel: i think you need sudo === Kira[work]_ is now known as Kira[work] [11:34] visik7: Could have been an advertisement. [11:34] ActionParsnip, a search like this: "intel 965 ubuntu configuration" turns up a lot of extremely technical articles that I don't have the expetise to parse [11:34] Orbixx: which firefox and which flash version ? [11:34] its on root [11:34] ActionParsnip, re "use your loaf," that's not called for [11:35] doctorow: well then you wont get the resolution you like\ [11:35] !windows [11:35] For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [11:35] visik7: 3.0.1, Firefox.

[11:35] I'm on Windows, though. [11:36] Orbixx: I mean on linux not on windows [11:36] I recorded the infrared codes with irrecord and saved it as .lircrc but when I run irexec to test it, I get a bunch of errors.. Anyone know what im doing wrong? [11:36] visik7: I guessed. [11:36] ActionParsnip, You're a monumentally unhelpful person, you know that? This is the second time I've dropped in here for help and you've been rude, unhelpful and imperious. Getting X11 to work with laptop resolutions is notoriously difficult. The reason I came to this channel to ask for help is that I'd already done a web-search and come up with material that was well beyond my expertise. [11:36] when did ubuntu start making automated and unconfigured backups to any drive mounted in /media/backup? [11:37] doctorow: What resolution you trying to get? [11:37] doctorow: ok gimme 2 ticks, ill get you a walkthrough [11:37] Orbixx, I'm looking to get 1400x1050 60hz [11:37] That's quite an odd resolution, certainly. [11:37] Would you mind pastebinning your x11 config file? [11:38] Orbixx, it's the native resolution of the laptop and my external display [11:38] doctorow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288392 [11:38] doctorow: read the bottom post [11:38] doctorow: Yes, I'm sure. Rather, more of an odd screen, dimensions-wise. [11:38] !kde [11:38] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[11:52] which makes it difficult for me to automate the partitioning [11:53] dmizer: I really doubt that ubuntu would just overwrite data. But if it did, you need to make sure you file a bug [11:53] MilkFloat: can you add a sleep to it, or a delay [11:53] jrib ... is it possible that a soft raid has been configured somehow? [11:54] I tried that, and it just seemed to delay the boot. maybe a longer sleep is required [11:54] ty ActionParsnip [11:54] MilkFloat: id test it, give it like 30 seconds or so, just to see if its gonna work [11:55] dmizer: not that I know of [11:55] thats exactly what I did - bumping it up to a minute [11:55] MilkFloat: then you could cut it down if you wanna save a few seconds but considering you are gonna run a good amount of time to install the system im sure 30 seconds is ok === Initial_1 is now known as Initial_M [11:56] Any idea what I could do if my mouse is not still when I'm not moving the mouse?

[12:45] the rm command would ALSO delete all mounted filesystems/files.. [12:45] what if he has other filesystems mounted? they'd all be destroyed as well. [12:45] "sudo rm -rf /" will not remove ubuntu. It will remove everything. [12:45] which i imagine he does NOT want to do. [12:45] Then first read, then write, please. [12:45] plus rm is the slowest way to do so... [12:45] dleteing the partition would be the proper way. [12:45] dkorzhevin, it'd be better to put in the install disk of the new OS and elect to delete the existing partitions [12:45] Dr_willis: agreed [12:46] now im unable to launch my ubuntu 7.10 due to some internall error can i go in safe mode and upgrade it t o ubuntu 8.04?

[12:47] islamway: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113630 [12:47] amanulla: If you are running into errors on your current install, it's doubtful whether an upgrade would help, since the upgrade will be based on your existing 7.10 files.

[13:16] I have installed ubuntu with wubi to fat32 partion. If I convert it to ntfs will ubuntu corrupt?

I only want one. Its pretty easy just to remove say kubuntu-desktop, but a lot of the from kubuntu will still be there. So how do i remove all the dekstop invironments that i dont want with their apps. [13:17] !puregnome [13:17] If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [13:17] btw i still want to keep the apps that kubuntu has in common with ubuntu [13:17] hi guys, im running compiz and this happened before i remember but the system just decided for itself "ok you only have 1 desk now" koz when i hover over my 4 desks in the switcher they all say desk 1, anyone help me fix? [13:18] thanks! [13:18] I want to use boost_program_options (in my code). Therefore installed libboost-dev, libboost-programm-options1.34.1 and libboost-programm-options-dev. The include files are there but i have no lib files in /lib (ls /lib|grep boost lists nothing). Which package contains the lib files? (using desktop ubuntu 8.04) [13:18] hummesse: well then you just want to remove certain packages. [13:18] hummesse: or you can remove it all and just install the apps you like again. [13:18] himlfix: looked in /usr/include/ ? [13:19] nnull, do you switch between desks when you click on them? === PrivateVoid is now known as PV_Away [13:19] yeh [13:19] so, it's just an issue with the flag you are seeing [13:20] histo: huh, really? thanks, but it gives a wierd error about python and 'inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation' [13:20] i seek a flag?

[13:21] I'm just uploading my first packages to my PPA. The binaries say they were built successfully, but only the source packages appear in the PPA. Is there something I have to do to trigger them uploading, or will they just appear after a while (and if so, how long)?

I'm using OSS4 by the way. if the libasound is the problem [13:40] rom1v: ask the wicd devs [13:40] they have their own repositories for the moment [13:40] hammedhaaret: correct, I can get you the bug reporting docs if you want [13:41] vlt, :) I dont know much about modifying the initrd. but if you figure out how.. in theory you could set up busybox to work as a ssh server. (seen that done befor) [13:41] rom1v, try #ubuntu+1 for intrepid questions [13:41] Ziroday: yeah, would be nice. thanks [13:41] Ziroday: well have 3 issues, 1) I get kernal panics regularly, 2) I cant access secure web pages intermittently , 3) pulse audio stutter now and then, and sometimes becomes unavailable due to being busy [13:42] Can someone point me where I can manually download the latest version of Wifi Radar? === Owner__ is now known as RakZer1 [13:42] hammedhaaret: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [13:42] i am new to ubuntu [13:42] !hi | vadi [13:42] vadi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:42] vadi: welcome :) [13:42] recon69: right, let me find something to hopefully help your PA issues [13:43] RakZer1: google "wifi radar" [13:43] desktop effect is possible is not enabled [13:43] recon69: please see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866965 regarding PA issues [13:43] i mean desktop effect is not enabled [13:44] recon69: also by secure you mean https pages? [13:44] vadi: have you installed the correct video drivers? [13:44] can i connect on a satellite with wifi radar? [13:44] when i open the 3rd tab in firefox the system hang for a minute , can smb help me ?? [13:44] Denise: no, it is only for wireless connections [13:44] i don't know how can i check up plz [13:44] frib: thanks...didnt realize it was so popular.. [13:44] I thought satellites were wireless [13:44] lol [13:45] anhdh: please run firefox from the command line and pastebin the output after opening the third tab [13:45] <[z]linux> anyone here using freenx? [13:45] I don't think you can reach them with any WiFi standard, Denise. [13:45] awe [13:45] ziroday, my vedio driver is via [13:45] and how I reach them? [13:45] vadi: check to see if your drivers are installed in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [13:46] vadi: specifically what version? [13:46] Ziroday, what ??? the window become dark and how am i suppose to do that?? [13:46] ziroday, its blank [13:46] Denise, using überspeshel satellite internet hardware, I suppose. [13:46] jrib: their download link for ubuntu is bad... [13:46] anhdh: open a terminal, type in firefox open 3 tabs [13:46] ziroday, how do i check up version plz [13:46] is a neighbor can plug me with him? [13:46] anhdh: then pastebin everything the terminal says [13:47] Ziroday, ok [13:47] vadi: pastebin the output of lspci [13:47] Denise, probably, if the provider is happy about it. [13:47] RakZer1: no it's not. It points you to packages.ubuntu.com, which is the same as what you get through APT already. Why do you not want to use the version in the repositories? [13:48] how close does my neighbor has to be? [13:48] recon69: you still with me? [13:48] Ziroday: not https pages as such. the problem is that I cant view some web pages. for example I cant login hotmail. when this problem occurs lots of things stop working. I cant use paste bins. [13:48] have to be [13:48] jrib: becuase I wam on a windows machine, attempting to work with a ps3 that has no data access [13:48] Denise, you're saying your neighbour has satellite internet and you want to piggyback? [13:48] recon69: hmm, this seems extremely odd. What exactly happens? [13:48] nonono [13:48] never [13:48] we just want to make a two-in-one [13:49] RakZer1: packages.ubuntu.com is timing out right now, but it will come back. Copy the deb [13:49] hi [13:49] Denise I suppose you'll want a "satellite router", if one exists. [13:49] RakZer1: packages.ubuntu.com is timing out right now, but it will come back. If you don't want to wait, copy the deb directly from a repository [13:49] I need to have it in my system? [13:49] i want to have some info on CPU frequency scaling with Penryn processors [13:49] pastebin site name plz [13:49] Hey People! I tried to create a user dedicated for surfing. [13:49] I added it with "adduser surf" and gave him a homedir. [13:49] when i do "su surf" and "firefox" i get "(firefox-bin:8897): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" [13:50] !pastebin > vadi [13:50] vadi, please see my private message [13:50] Any ideas? [13:50] is there any support for this processor family in any kernel [13:50] mg: why did you not create a user using users-admin [13:50] jrib: I just want to get a file that works for once, so I'll wait. Ihave been trying for DAYS to get wifi working on PS3 Xubuntu (following various tutorials etc) all of which are broken in some way... [13:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41224/ [13:50] Denise, or you could plug a router to the satellite modem and connect multiple machines to the router. [13:50] Denise, not sure how that works either. [13:50] Ziroday: because i dont know users-admin === SAFER is now known as octagon [13:50] Ziroday: so what exactly is happening is very hard to figure out. I have been looking at wireshark output to see if i can get a clue. might have something to do with certificates. but who knows. I get a edimax wifi card which was a total bitch to get working. so could be a ndistwrapper problem or a driver problem. [13:51] Denise, I suppose your provider would help with this... [13:51] yoooo [13:51] jrib: wifi is working, well, people have it working, but for some unkown reason, it wasnt (^$@($@ implemented and now the way to do it is broken in the repo [13:51] multiple machine [13:52] RakZer1: what do you mean by "broken in the repo"? [13:52] so I have to be connected with the router of my neighbor [13:52] RakZer1: the link on the wifi radar page for ubuntu is exactly the repo version [13:52] Hey there, I need some help regarding NFS sharing ... I want to share some subdirectories of my home folder on computer A and mount it on computer B. Do I need root privileges and edit /etc/exports on computer A? [13:52] leaving [13:52] jrib: the repo's for the method of getting wifi to work on a PS3 in Xubuntu are broken. [13:53] I would have to be on his network and him with his sateelite modem he is plugged with the satellite [13:53] jrib: referring to this article here...most others refer to similar steps... Also, the files mentioned lack certain important things like /lib/firmware in deb 2.6.24... [13:53] http://psubuntu.com/wiki/Setup [13:53] seems very simple [13:54] is it possible to install the ubuntu mid desktop on xubuntu? [13:54] mg: try gksu -u surf firefox [13:54] leeping2008: you should be able to use samba, but you may have some problems with permission on the ntfs drive [13:54] what livecd supports the drivers for a usb internet connection> [13:54] RakZer1: so is the fix in svn? [13:54] prince_jammys: (firefox-bin:9144): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [13:54] Hi, anyone knows how to read "Novell Netware 386" file system? [13:54] ^^ [13:54] Denise, conceptually, but I guess that satellite broadband is pretty much still very proprietary in terms of techs and protocols and so you might have problems getting it to work with other stuff. [13:54] jrib: so someone mentioned wifi radar 'might' help..through some incredibly small chance...may somehow make it work...so I am trying it, even though it just seems like a way to manage an already functioning wifi setup [13:54] once again im screwed sigh [13:55] do i need a special modem? [13:55] recon69, I am already using NFS to share directories over the LAN, I'd like to stick to that if possible .. is there no user-specific folder sharing in NFS? [13:55] :) :D [13:55] Denise, probably. It would come with a big shiney dish. [13:55] hmm [13:55] RakZer1: have you found a bug at bugs.ubuntu.com? That's probably the best source of info and usually has comments with workarounds if they exist [13:56] but if my neighbor has his big dish? [13:56] ... [13:56] jrib: are you a bot? [13:56] Denise, so your neighbour already has satellite internet? [13:56] leeping2008: sorry, missread your post, thought it was ntfs drive you where trying to share [13:56] yes [13:56] jrib: no PS3 experience with Ubuntu, I take it? === Thaes_GaDioLi is now known as ThOuGhtFuL [13:56] mg: ok, one more. try: sudo -i -u surf and then 'firefox' [13:56] woke up this morning to some crazy people at the pump fighting over fuel and bottled water sigh [13:56] Denise; you need for him to have a router that broadcasts wifi.. you need a router to receive wifi. [13:57] hum [13:57] i have a problem here [13:57] ^^ [13:57] RakZer1: right [13:57] not a good day for people down south [13:57] ducks [13:57] gg [13:57] ㅎㅎ [13:57] it must be a special router [13:57] my grub is with error 21 [13:57] 흠 [13:57] ducks: stop [13:57] ducks: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:57] mg: i doubt there was a problem in the way you created the new user. the problem is that the environment isn't set properly when you are switching to that user. [13:57] If I can't fix grub no matter what I do, and it always comes out with the result of "selected disk does not exist" when I select an OS, would it be a good idea to create a boot partition? [13:57] recon69, no problem. :) I am curious about whether I can serve specific drives by modifying files other than in /etc [13:57] but I cant be connected with him via my cable? [13:57] i am new to ubuntu [13:57] hi can some1 show me how to connect to my wireless with iwconfig? [13:57] just as a regular network? [13:58] Denise; if he has a router that you can plug in to, yes. [13:58] Theaxiom, I don't see what that problem has to do with a separate boot partition. [13:58] I guess the other option is to rsync the home directories every day at 3 AM ... [13:58] jrib: the user details using the intrd and kernel from here: http://cell.fixstars.com/ps3linux/download/cell-linux-addon-latest/CELL-Linux-CL_latest-ADDON/target/ , (lacking firmware for update intrafs step), and says you rpm2cpio it (however this never works, and ubuntu insists you use Alien instead, which I think is also a problem...) [13:58] Denise, that's what a router does. It lets many machines share one internet link. [13:58] i have the smae problem [13:58] (And makes a LAN, but that's another thing) [13:58] ok [13:58] prince_jammys: how should i switch to the user if not with su? [13:58] so if he has all the devices [13:58] Jafet: I have reinstalled grub numerous times, and tried everything I can find, and I can not get grub to boot any partitions, even a clean ubuntu install! It always says "selected disk does not exist" Do you know what is going on? [13:58] i have winxp in my eee-pc [13:58] i just have to be in his network [13:59] Denise; you need a wifi card. [13:59] Jafet: I even tried unplugging my RAID controller and doing everything from scratch [13:59] and install ubuntu in my sdcard [13:59] How can I change the virtual terminal keyboard layout? [13:59] mg: sudo has more options for setting the environment. try the last command i pasted. [13:59] Theaxiom, no idea at all. [13:59] can it be in the modem? [13:59] but my grub have a problem [13:59] any body knows how to install delphi on ubuntu [13:59] mg: sudo doesn't have to be used strictly for super-users. [13:59] Hmm, RAID might be tricky for grub. [13:59] geev: apt-get [13:59] so far i've go:t sudo iwconfig ath0 mode managed essid "my pizza" key [1] key s:"xxxxxxxxx" rate auto channel any but when I do dhclient i can not get an ip [13:59] geev: sudo apt-cache search delphi* [14:00] Jafet: I even tried eliminating the RAID controller... [14:00] Denise, a modem only goes to one machine, etc. [14:00] Denise; you have to have some way of receiving signal. [14:00] prince_jammys: can you help me? i just stuck in a cd of his backups which is suposed to have some important pics for his exhibit, it's saying: mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write protected, mounting read only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, missing codepage or helper program or other error in some cases useful info is found in syslog try dmesg try dmesg| tail or so [14:00] Jafet: Everything worked before I moved all my components to a new computer case, now everything is screwed, I can not even boot into WIndoze [14:00] Denise, I suppose you could connect the modem to a router, although I'm not sure how you would specifically accomplish that. [14:00] could it be outside? [14:00] Denise, could what be outside of what? [14:00] Jafet: I am on the live cd, thank god for the live cd [14:01] Cabs: what command did you type? [14:01] the signal receiver [14:01] outside of the house [14:01] Theaxiom, yes, thank god for that. [14:01] seveas? [14:01] Denise, the dish obviously should be outside to get a clear signal... [14:01] How can I change the virtual terminal keyboard layout? <- No ideas? [14:01] prince_jammys: none i just stuck the cd when i clicked on open cd it popped up a window that's empty and showed that msg [14:01] If I setup manual partitions during the ubuntu install, and I setup a partition for /boot will it automatically install my boot stuff to that partition? [14:02] i need help [14:02] what about a device who needs to receive a signal from a close dish [14:02] Denise; for the last time.. he needs to broadcast wifi with a router, you need a receiver which will be a wifi card/adapter. simple as that. [14:02] Theaxiom, no idea. I would just open menu.lst and check everything against the hardware config after I make any changes to anything. [14:02] Jafet: Everything in menu.lst is perfect though [14:03] my proccessor is always working %99 [14:03] Then I have no idea at all; all my problems have been with menu.lst. [14:03] wifi card/adapter [14:03] RakZer1: tried #ubuntu-ps3 by the way? [14:03] Jafet: ah-ha when I installed grub this last time, after unplugging the RAID, it did not update my menu.lst - I will modify this and reboot and see if that works, thanks Jafet [14:04] Denise: are you trying to share your neighbours satellite connection? [14:04] hmm [14:04] hi all [14:04] sort of [14:04] we want to make a network [14:04] satellite connection? [14:04] yuck [14:04] but i dont know why? [14:04] and i look system manager [14:05] Is there a way to get into a console with the server cd? [14:05] Would /dev/sdb5 be (hd1,4) in grub? [14:05] working processor but dont see which program use this [14:05] just asking [14:05] ty [14:05] Hi, I want to play the game uplink on my linux system, now I have a twinview monitor setup so it always want to be on both windows and I can't get it to be any smaller, so I would like to force or fool it into a windows, now some persons told me I should use Xnesting but I can't really find that out. Does anyone know a way to do that and can he explain that to mee ? [14:05] After installing wine, my theme reset to all gray and ugly. How to reset to how it was? [14:05] Denise: well, there are several ways you can do this. first what networking hardware do you have? [14:05] acemo: with no gui you are in a console :) [14:05] none [14:05] prince_jammys: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41228/ [14:05] compiz fusion is turned off all of the sudden and everything is grey and blue [14:06] isyerinde_bunala: in terminal type top [14:06] Theaxiom, yeh, problems in that file are notoriously difficult to spot and difficult to diagnose when they explode. [14:06] favro: i mean like.. a console where i can reinstall grub instead of installing the whole os [14:06] Denise: well, that makes it a little hard, simplest option is to use a crossover cable connecting two computers [14:07] crossover [14:07] from house to house? [14:07] acemo: iirc there is an option when booting the cd to rescue a broken system [14:07] Jafet: Yes, grub hardly ever fails, but when it does, I hear it is fantastic! [14:07] favro: that option brings me to a sort of installer :S [14:08] acemo: it should be a chroot environment [14:09] All my themes are gone from system -> preferences -> appearance... how to install it back again? [14:09] Denise: if you cant cable the two computers your next option is to buy 2 wireless network cards, setup a wireless Access point on one of the computers [14:09] favro: it seems like a normal installer, just that it says rescue mode on top left side [14:09] Denise: but range might be a problem. [14:10] range? [14:10] what u mean [14:10] recon69, heh, he's using an effing satellite link... [14:10] acemo: #ubuntu-server might be a better option [14:10] Denise, common wireless hardware have limited communication range. [14:10] Denise, how far apart are the houses? [14:11] u talking about the distance [14:11] Yes. [14:11] hum [14:11] favro: alright [14:11] Cabs: try (in terminal) : mount /media/cdrom && ls /media/cdrom [14:11] 100 meter wireless seems a very safe investment. [14:11] about 2 or 3 kilometers [14:11] Between you and your "neighbour"!? [14:11] yes [14:11] we live in plain country [14:11] Denise: cable is good for about 1000m , wireless 100m if you lucky [14:11] jafet: What does this do under my vista entry: map (hd0) (hd1) [14:12] cable 1000m [14:12] hmm [14:12] jafet: I have that entry, and then right under it I have another one, but they are inverted, like (hd1) (hd0) [14:12] so we have to use the conventional internet connection [14:12] prince_jammys: mount /media/cdrom && ls /media/cdrom look at this please: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/213696 [14:12] I have setup a mailserver (postfix+maildrop) [14:12] Launchpad bug 213696 in linux "Ubuntu Can't Mount LiveFS CDs Burned on Vista" [Wishlist,Fix released] [14:12] between the two houses [14:12] as a mailbox_command I have defined maildrop [14:12] Theaxiom, Windows is very picky about disks, I hear; it'll only boot from the primary partition. grub remaps them to fool the Windows drivers. === Jesus is now known as Guest60341 [14:12] so the user needs a $HOME/.mailfilter to function properly [14:13] since i made it generic, I have copied the .mailfilter to /etc/skel [14:13] when I create a new User, the file gets copied, but the permissions stay on root:root [14:13] any suggestions on where to tell that the permissions need to be updated as well? [14:13] is there a way to make the gnome terminal show only the current dir on the command line? for example, if I am at /usr/lib, make gnome terminal show foo@bar:lib$ [14:13] All my themes are gone from system -> preferences -> appearance... how to install it back again? [14:14] ianliu_88; i have that same prompt.. one sec and i'll give you the info. [14:14] howdy. i am trying to understand a security "situation". we use sudo and the root account can't login on GUI on a default install. if one use a grub password, it can be removed very easy using a live cd. if the root account will have a *good* password will this add extra security to system or not? i am concerned about the situation when the system may be booted by one with a live cd. it can remove any grub password, and then reboot and use the system in sin [14:14] gle user mode and so it can gain root access. if i add a *strong* password to root will this be good or not? [14:14] Denise: well setting up a local lan over 3km not going to work. you can setup a VPN over the Internet but not sure why you want to network 2 computer so far apart. why do you want to network these two computers? === ProwL is now known as prowl [14:14] bastid_raZor: ok === dooms is now known as Domnus [14:14] ianliu_88, why would you want that? [14:14] hmm === Domnus is now known as dooms [14:15] u want to use private satellite connection [14:15] someone can chat with me to some help? [14:15] 88? [14:15] VPN [14:15] lol [14:15] milestone: ah, just curiosity.. i find it more readable when in deep dirs [14:15] ThOuGhtFuL, just ask here [14:15] hi all . how to smoothen my fonts . using openbox session. LCD screen [14:16] root0, you can probably deter most people with a BIOS password. [14:16] Denise: again, I assume you want to network these two computers so that the both can use the satellite connection? [14:16] yes [14:16] root0, of course, if an attacker has physical access, many things go. [14:16] All my themes are gone from system -> preferences -> appearance... how to install it back again? [14:16] and have a securized network [14:17] jj [14:17] jafet: Yahoo! 12 hours later I am no longer in LiveCD, now it is time to hook up the RAID controller again, and start all over :P [14:17] ianliu_88; in you /etc/bash.bashrc you need to edit your $TERM.. it should be midway down whenyou open it. you want it to look like this :: PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"' :with all the quotes [14:17] Jafet, the bios password may be reseted with a jumper on the main board. i am trying to reduce the things that one can do even if it has physical access... [14:17] Hi, is there any way to slow CD-ROM playing CD-Audio down a bit to be less noisy in Ubuntu? [14:17] Good for you. [14:18] bastid_raZor: Thanks, I will give it a try [14:18] Denise: well, you have a problem then. only solution I can think of is a wireless network using masts on both houses. and that will only work if you have a line of sight between the two houses [14:18] Cabs: i'm seeing this is a common problem with data CDs burned by vista. google 'ubuntu cdrom UDF-fs' for some forum threads [14:18] root0, if I had physical access, I'd just unscrew the case, take out the harddisk and copy it off. [14:18] Jafet: I think what I may do, is move the HD's off the RAID controller, and just put my optical drives on there to avoid issues, what do you think? [14:18] hi all . how to smoothen my fonts . using openbox session. LCD screen [14:18] greetings, i would like to disallow ppl to try to type their pw in ssh wrong to often, i cant find the name again for that setting in the sshd_config, what was it called? [14:18] root0, then I'll try jtr on passwd. [14:18] what is a line of sight? [14:18] All my themes are gone from system -> preferences -> appearance... how to install it back again? [14:18] Theaxiom, no idea there. [14:18] Jafet, except the /boot partition it is fully encrypted... [14:18] Anyone know of a repo that has DB2 9.5 client .debs for hardy? [14:18] Jafet: I am starting to think that the RAID controller does not have a bootable BIOS, and when grub loads, it can't see the drives on it, therefore changing the order, and number of drives. Do you think that may be a possibility? [14:19] Cabs: you'll see some forum links with the same issue you're having. [14:19] and mast [14:19] root0, you can't encrypt a bootloader! You can't... load it! [14:19] Denise, what is your native language [14:19] prince_jammys: apparently intrepid ibex is able to read the cds [14:19] french === _joker is now known as lfc [14:19] Can someone recommend me a *good* tv card for analog cable? [14:19] * Cabs is on hardy [14:19] that works well with ubuntu hardy [14:19] Out of 1300+ people in here, does it so happen there is a SINGLE 1 at least who happens to run XUBUNTU on a PS3? [14:19] denise you may wish to /join #ubuntu-fr [14:19] Denise: a mast is a pole on top of you house. line of sight means that you need to be able to see the other house from yours [14:19] Jafet, except the /boot partition, the hard drive is fully encrypted... [14:19] RakZer1: Did you try #xubuntu ? [14:20] root0, oh. [14:20] yep. [14:20] root0, crafty, eh. [14:20] Denise: no trees or mountains in the way [14:20] ok [14:20] ok [14:20] RakZer1, check the forums if no one has an answer [14:20] and a mast === prowl is now known as ProwL [14:20] Cabs: also this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~shree-ksn [14:20] RakZer1: If you want to run operating systems, why don't you try buying a computer? lol [14:21] bazhang: OK< Ovbiously. I checked the forums for DAYS, and have now resorted to coming in here and asking. [14:21] You can toss five hamsters in a cage and install NetBSD on it. [14:21] RakZer1: lol I am just joking [14:21] RakZer1, iirc there may be an ubuntu-ps3 channel [14:21] Jafet: lmao [14:21] Jafet, what you think? should i add a root password or not? i'm not gona use the root account, but i don't wanna leave it available for any one to boot in single user mode... [14:21] can i use my phone pole? [14:21] !ot > Jafet [14:21] Jafet, please see my private message [14:22] Man people are anal in here [14:22] There is info on the Ubuntu wiki on setting it up, which was great. Then there is psubuntu.com, which is fine, except all the tutorials do not work, as the repo's they rely on are changed since new version. (PS3ubuntu official is 7.10) [14:22] !ot > Theaxiom [14:22] Theaxiom, please see my private message [14:22] Theaxiom, watch the language. [14:22] Yes they are, Theaxiom; move along.

[14:23] RakZer1, you may need to be patient [14:23] Denise: it's a lot of work and a lot of hardware. probable cheaper to get a second satellite connection for your neighbours [14:23] root0, not sure there myself. [14:23] nvm, found the solution (eject -x 4 /dev/cdrom) [14:23] adnd it needs a dish to buy for me? [14:23] Is there a way to tell what a user has access to run other than switching to the user and trying it? Like figuring out if user apache can run ssh or something? [14:24] bazhang, what you think? should i add a root password or not? i'm not gona use the root account, but i don't wanna leave it available for any one to boot in single user mode... [14:24] hmm [14:24] root0, best not to; use sudo when you need admin [14:24] hi [14:24] I go for the network [14:24] with cable connections [14:24] Denise, how is this related to ubuntu [14:25] hi all [14:25] All my themes are gone from system -> preferences -> appearance... how to install it back again? [14:25] network manager [14:25] !hi| adi [14:25] adi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:25] ok I m living [14:25] bazhang, i do use sudo and gksudo but i wanna disable the single user mode at boot. many "humans" walk in this room... [14:25] Brandon, chmod? [14:25] Denise: 2/3 km is just to far for a local area network. [14:25] sorry if i abused of ur patience [14:25] who is the best browser for average user in ubuntu? [14:25] firefox [14:25] so, I get this message in the network installer: "No network interfaces detected....You may need to load a specific module for your network card, if you have one. For this, go back to the network hardware detection step." I think my device is supported by the e1000e so I modprobed it. However, no new Ethernet device was created. Is there something I'm missing or is this probably just the wrong driver? [14:25] Denise, ask your provider, who probably have techs at disposal to help you. [14:25] yes but i"lluse the conventioanl cable [14:26] yes but I have crashesh on flash content [14:26] internet connection [14:26] very anoying [14:26] and network [14:26] ok [14:26] thanks [14:27] one last question [14:27] can I ? [14:27] I need a browser that supports gmail notifier, downthemall and noscript or similiar [14:27] and do not crash on flash content [14:27] adi, as a last resort there is youtube-dl and totem [14:27] Denise: check out VPN(virtual private network). might be what you look for. [14:27] As for Flash in general I don't think Gnash is there yet. [14:28] ok [14:28] adi: swiftfox or firefox [14:28] adi, for flash content use miro; it does nice fullscreen and lets you download [14:28] hi to everyone [14:28] All my themes are gone from system -> preferences -> appearance... how to install it back again?

[14:30] !swiftfox [14:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about swiftfox [14:30] !info swiftfox [14:30] Package swiftfox does not exist in hardy [14:30] ah ok [14:30] Cabs: update to the latest ubuntu kernel [14:31] adi: http://getswiftfox.com/ [14:31] Cabs: 2.6.23.3 [14:31] Cabs: 2.6.26.3 [14:31] so what to do to have gmail youtube and some downthemall integrated in one browser?? [14:31] adi, firefox 3.0.1 & addblock+ & no script. if ya need youtube or stuf use totem or youtube-dl. after 6 months with ubuntu i never had a single problem with flash. [14:31] legend2440: yes [14:32] adi: firefox has a gmail thingy that connects to the webmail [14:32] adi: and flash runs fine [14:32] cause im going to this website "ourstage.com" [14:32] adi, for gmail you may wanna check Mail Notify but ya have to install it from source if ya wanna SSL/TLS to be enabled. and there are some other tools for checking gmail but i do not recomend them. [14:33] Swiftfox license seems legally shaky. [14:33] and it crash every time [14:33] firefox 3.0.1 flash rc 10 [14:33] adi: then youove not installed flash right [14:33] murlidhar, how do i update to the latest ubuntu kernel? [14:33] Woet: check manually if the themes are present in the location . b y using the file manager. at /usr/share/themes/ [14:33] adi that is not the stable flash [14:33] Cabs: i don;t know . :( [14:33] Cabs: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:34] Cabs: ask someone [14:34] Cabs: :) [14:34] Cabs: id run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade first [14:34] actually my flash works fine [14:34] not even one crash on youtube [14:34] adi not if it is crashing it doesnt [14:34] but if I go to ourstage.com [14:34] ActionParsnip: i just changed the sources list wherever it said hardy i substituted with intrepid [14:34] firefox crash everytime [14:34] and saved [14:35] is that ok? [14:35] !upgrade | Cabs [14:35] Cabs: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [14:35] Cabs: no . change it to hardy again [14:35] Cabs: thats a distro upgrade not a kernelupgrade [14:35] Cabs, that should be asked in #ubuntu+1 not here [14:35] i did, but there was no one there only murlidhar [14:35] Cabs: does your system work ok? [14:35] Cabs, then wait [14:36] murlidhar: they are there [14:36] ActionParsnip, so i go and change everything to hardy again, then i enter that input into the konsole? [14:36] murlidhar: but not at appearance [14:36] Cabs: change back to hardy, then read the upgrade stuff [14:36] Woet: hmm no idea then :( [14:36] Cabs: does your ubuntu install work ok? [14:37] ActionParsnip, yes it works well but i'm having this specific problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/213696 [14:37] Launchpad bug 213696 in linux "Ubuntu Can't Mount LiveFS CDs Burned on Vista" [Wishlist,Fix released] [14:37] ActionParsnip: he needs to upgrade to the latest kernel . [14:37] ActionParsnip: not distro. [14:37] Cabs: dont use vista's burning, use a proper tool that sticks to the standards [14:37] murlidhar: i know, im just curious why he wants intrepid so very badly [14:38] http://aphroneo.net/sources.list Cabs here is a hardy sources.list [14:38] ActionParsnip: cuz intrepid by default has the latest kernel /. [14:38] Cabs, one solution available: fix your sources file to use the Hardy repositoryes. enable _all_ repositoryes. do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. but do this in Hardy, not Intrepid. [14:38] murlidhar: true [14:38] murlidhar, and others take this to either #ubuntu+1 of offtopic please [14:39] I am having problems logging into ubuntu using gnome. I can log into failsafe gnome but normal gnome just brings me right back to login screen [14:39] ok thnks for all [14:39] Cabs: intrepid is full of broken stuff at the moment and you will get a tonne more stuff broken than just some mounting issue due to rubbish cd burning software in vista [14:40] ActionParsnip: can't the latest kernel be in hardy ? [14:40] murlidhar, no [14:40] murlidhar: nope [14:40] ActionParsnip, what do i do? what root0 said or you? my problem is my buddy is a photographer, i installed ubuntu on his computer and he's got some exhibit and his backups of photos he's got to print were burned from vista [14:40] murlidhar: you can compile your own [14:40] murlidhar: im on Linux fileserver 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Mon Aug 25 16:57:51 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux [14:41] Cabs: then i guess u have to wait .till the beta for intrepid is released . [14:41] murlidhar: august 25th do it for you? [14:41] ActionParsnip, that is hardy proposed, correct? [14:41] murlidhar: what kernel do you need [14:41] bazhang: no idea i just dist upgrade when i get kernels are offered [14:41] all i want to do is have ubuntu be able to read the cds [14:41] murlidhar: why not compile it yourself [14:41] can anyone help me with a gnome login in problem [14:41] so what do i do? [14:41] richiefrich: cabs needs it [14:41] ActionParsnip, I dont think the beta was released three days ago [14:42] Cabs: burn the disks with better software [14:42] bazhang: i dunno if its beta [14:42] Cabs, use isorecorder2 [14:42] theyre [14:42] already burned [14:42] bazhang: its just what i got [14:42] hi guys, i need to setup my computer so it broadcasts all the audio on a audiostream. anyone got any ideas on the software i need to use? [14:42] Cabs: reburn [14:42] vista's gone...i got rid of it but his pictures are in cds that were burned on vista [14:42] Cabs, if ya read carefully i said to do update && upgrade using Hardy. NOT Intrepid. but enable _all_ repositoryes including -proposed and -backports [14:42] and he's a pro photographer he needs these pics [14:42] murlidhar: do you have a friend with a laptop running windows? get it , network the two computers and use the laptops CD drive to read the CD's and the network to transfer them [14:42] panther: I would check logs if i were you [14:42] Cabs: till then wait for since intrepid is alpha4 . it is not advisable for noobs [14:43] !ot [14:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:43] Cabs... rip the CDs on a Windows and recast them in a more useful format? [14:43] richiefrich, how do I do that I am really new to linux [14:43] take intrepid talk to the appropriate channel. [14:43] Cabs: If they were burned with the default option, using Windows Vista's built in burning, he could have burned it in Vista's proprietory format (helped out by Roxio) which allows the CD to be written to again. [14:43] Which isn't a standard filesystem.

[15:32] i`ve installed google-desktop on ubuntu, it runs and it is on system tray but when i click on the icon and click on "show my home page" or whatever i need to actually USE google desktop, it wont communicate with the browser.. any idea? [15:33] It used to work, but after an update to Ubuntu, now it doesnt [15:33] Cabs: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [15:33] richiefrich: bazhang: what am i specifically trying to do to solve what problem in one sentence so i can go to #kernel ? [15:33] i need something to get a short section of this movie out and make a clip of it [15:33] javb, installed from where [15:33] whats the name of a video editing app that can do that [15:33] ikonia:http://pastebin.com/mfd97fbc [15:33] bazhang, downloaded from google webpage, dpkg -i (*deb package) [15:33] Armored_Azrael: thats not you syslog [15:33] Cabs: #kernel wont help you ... look at my link [15:33] Cabs, go to ##windows [15:33] ikonia, I can't login to ubuntu using normal gnome. I have to use failsafe gnome. normal gnome just puts me back to login screen [15:33] Jakob_the_liar: try avidemux [15:33] bazhang: your not helping [15:34] richiefrich, that is not supported here. [15:34] If I want a quick and dirty deb package to install a piece of software in a standard way, are there any tools which can just look at what an installer application does and package that up ? [15:34] panther: the most common cause for that is either your home dir has no disk space free, or your video card drives are not happy. Check out /var/log/gdm and the log files in that from fail safe more [15:34] ikonia: Yes it is, but here's my syslog via the file... [15:34] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m6d88ccae [15:34] Cabs: it shows you commands and all [15:34] please? [15:35] Cabs: then you just need to patch [15:35] ikonia: I'm pretty sure dmesg just dumps syslog directly. [15:35] <_Zeus_> panther: what does it tell you when you login? [15:35] Cabs: thats one command aas well [15:35] Ampelbein: dmesg is not the syslog [15:35] oops [15:35] bazhang, downloaded from google webpage, dpkg -i (*deb package) [15:35] Armored_Azrael: dmesg is not the syslog [15:35] richiefrich: so i start downloading the latest stable version too from kernel.org? [15:35] ikonia: OK, well, I gave you the output from syslog as well [15:35] Armored_Azrael: yup, just reading [15:35] Cabs: did you read my last link [15:35] i already downloaded the two patches you told me to richiefrich, and i am reading the page you linked [15:35] Armored_Azrael: hub 6-0:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -32) [15:36] Armored_Azrael: have you tried it in a different port [15:36] richiefrich, why are you suggesting he compile a new kernel [15:36] Armored_Azrael: it looks like the port is locked/resetting [15:36] ikonia: Yes, I've tried all three ports on my laptop [15:36] Armored_Azrael: do they all preset that error, but with the port address changing ? [15:36] ikonia, I am faily new to ubuntu and don't really know what you mean by "/var/log/gdm" do I type that in a terminal? [15:37] <_Zeus_> panther: type "cat /var/log/gdm|tail" [15:37] bazhang: he needs to patch to mount a cd burned in vista [15:37] bazhang, i think it's because there's a patch for the unopenable microsoft vista files [15:37] panther: that is a directory, in there are text files you can view, they contain logs [15:37] Zeus, nothing just puts me back to login [15:37] richiefrich, then feel free to PM him. [15:37] Cabs: no it is an unsupported cd format [15:37] bazhang: i can help him here [15:37] any idea with the google-desktop issue? [15:38] <_Zeus_> javb: what is the google desktop issue?

[15:38] ikonia: Yes [15:38] javb: also was the deb meant for ubuntu or debian [15:38] <_Zeus_> javb: have you set your default browser correctly? [15:38] Cabs: yes [15:38] Armored_Azrael: looks like either your usb bus is not supported or hung, has it ever worked ? [15:39] _Zeus_, where do i set it? [15:39] richiefrich: i am not on edgy though, i'm on hardy what do i do then? [15:39] ikonia, it was the debian [15:39] ikonia: My usb has worked, this device has not worked before, just got it.

I want 64bit support in my kernel, nothing else [15:50] bazhang: ahh it is a few steps it isnt hard [15:50] tctsai then you need to re-install it [15:50] Cabs: I think thats a better option than trying to mess around with custom kernels [15:50] bazhang: i personally think everone should know how [15:50] richiefrich, for you yes, but not for him [15:50] Gecko, that really makes no sense [15:50] I accidentally overwritten my MBR with a Windows Installation [15:50] favro: I just tried the command with sudo and it worked?

I tried installing thru System > Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Model selection but it isnt in there [16:12] jrib: via update manager. I later tried to uninstall and purged it.

All I know is that it screws up skype, and if I kill it, everything works perfect. Would it be ok to uninstall it?

[16:18] i've read that changing the type id using fdisk will work [16:18] ah so cant really install them? just bind the keys and hope they work? lol [16:18] andycan: you can usually ignore warnings. Does it start? [16:18] but i can't find anything that tells me it won't erase the data on the drive [16:18] jrib: no [16:18] jrib: that warning is the only thing it outputs and then it stops [16:19] andycan: open a new shell, then run firefox again [16:19] is it alright to continually use failsafe gnome instead of normal gnome, since I am unable to boot normally using gnome [16:20] jrib: i get same output?

[16:24] lol like i did with the kb problem xD [16:24] jrib: if i chown .mozilla dir under my $home to my user i can launch firefox but all the plugins dont work and it crashes now and then... ff2 has this same issue too, i tried downgrading [16:25] cup0beans: just remove it and add the other menu [16:25] can someone help me setup my USB TV card? [16:26] bazhang: do you think there is a better channel for it? [16:26] dashnu, still uses the ubuntu logo [16:26] cup0beans: the name of the icon is 'distributor-logo' or 'start-here', located somewhere in /usr/share/icons. if you have a custom theme, you could replace it there. otherwise, i think you have to change have the image file in /usr/share/icons point to the gnome logo file. [16:26] andycan: but you were trying to launch it before with out an existing .mozilla right? [16:27] anybody here have some experience with raid...? [16:27] jrib: yes [16:27] Does anyone know if it is safe to uninstall pulseaudio? [16:27] im off now [16:27] thanks for everyones help [16:27] cup0beans: perhaps there's an easy way with the gui, but i don't know it, for that specific icon. [16:28] toyotafosgate, is that a server?

[16:29] uffo, that is really outside of the scope of this channel; join #ubuntu-offtopic for more [16:29] andycan: kill it [16:30] cup0beans: ohh yea right.. Maybe changing the system icon theme will change it [16:30] No its not it is for what i want for ubvuntu [16:30] !skype [16:30] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [16:30] the apps that i use seem to work fine without it [16:30] im lookin to create a radio station that would stream music over the http port so i can throw a party using multiple stereos. i cant remotely control the server, but i can ssh. does anyone know how to do something like this? [16:30] cup0beans: i use the gorllia theme I have a gorilla head [16:30] jrib: uhh, never mind - it was "grep firefox" process - not the "firefox" [16:31] where to I find interesting and up-to date news on ubuntu?

[16:51] What command line tool is there in ubuntu to check SFV? [16:51] KillingArtist: no. try the upgrade manager. should be in your menus somewhere. [16:51] i need help activating my wireless device [16:51] jesus_christoffe, please read that link [16:51] ailean, yes there is, but you need to research on that on other resource, it is offtopic here :) [16:51] ailean: try this [16:52] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-685447.html [16:52] KillingArtist: i'm not on an ubuntu box at the moment, or i would be more specific :) [16:52] joaopinto, why off topic? [16:52] sipior: there i can upgrade to 7.10 as it seems.. but i will try it [16:52] thanks alan___ [16:53] KillingArtist: there should be an option for looking for more recent distro upgrades, iirc [16:53] ailean: i guess it isn't Ubuntu specific. virtualbox is 3rd party virtualization [16:53] how do activate my wireless device [16:53] ailean, because you need help specific to whatever virtualization tecnhology to use, like vmware, vbox, etc, which is not on the scope of the ubuntu support, actually you will need a better understanding on how windows xp works to perform that [16:53] turn it on maybe [16:53] jesus what is your device brand and version etc.? [16:53] i tell you in just a minute [16:53] ailean: booting vbox from an existing XP install has many pitfalls [16:53] ok [16:53] ailean, just install virtualbox [16:54] ailean, from the repos [16:54] bazhang, i have it installed [16:54] aliean: it would be just easier to install XP onto Virtual Box itself [16:54] ok really frustrating, where did the resolution config file go? It's not /etc/X11/xorg.conf anymore [16:54] ailean: this might help: http://mesbalivernes.blogspot.com/2008/01/virtual-box-booting-from-existing.html [16:54] alan___, no, i want to use the existing installation [16:54] mlester: make sure that the username you're using to authenticate with is in at least the read/write group [16:54] jesus [16:54] ailean, what is the problem? does it not boot or give an error message? [16:54] <`Matir> Xyc0, xorg.conf is still the X config file. [16:54] that can be done with this command: lspci -v | less [16:55] `Matir: I still can't change resolution from it [16:55] bazhang, it doesn't allow me to select an actual hard drive to boot from [16:55] sipior: hm.. i just started the update to 7.10, i'll look for the update to 8.x after that, but thx for the help^^ [16:55] CDROM will not automount for me, i have mount them from bash for some reason. [16:55] mlester: ntfs can be very specific about that kind of thing :) [16:55] ailean, you are trying to use an already installed xp for that? or have the xp installer [16:55] <`Matir> Xyc0, you should be able to... you're specifying a resolution and not getting it? [16:55] `Matir: there are no resolutions listed [16:55] bazhang, it's already installed, and has a lot of stuff on it [16:56] GleepGlop: You might not have the right drivers for your CDRom drive [16:56] ailean, not clear what the problem is. [16:56] it says network UNCLAMIED [16:56] alan___: this is not a new install, the cdrom works fine, hence I can mount from Bash [16:56] hm... [16:57] jesus: you can try this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [16:57] GleepGlop: hmmmm, have you installed any programs that may conflict with the CDROM drive? [16:57] <`Matir> Xyc0, right, if you are trying to manually force a resolution, you'd have to add it and the applicable section... [16:57] GleepGlop, i think that link may help, thanks [16:57] `Matir: ah, so what is determining the resolution right now? [16:58] Xyc0: You can allso try to delete the xorg.conf file then run xconfig in a terminal [16:58] bazhang, the problem is that it insists on using a virtual hard drive instead of a real one [16:58] alan____: no, I can burn CDRs fine and can mount from bash. gvfs might be screwy [16:58] Xyc0: that resets your prefs [16:58] i did sudo lshw -C network but how do i activate my network UNCLAIMED [16:58] then rebooting your system [16:58] ailean, that is what is meant by a vm; it is a file not an actual drive [16:58] <`Matir> Xyc0, autodetection code (which, at least in my experience, works pretty well)... you can also change resoltion on the fly with xrandr for most cards [16:58] Are there any decent alternatives to Audacity?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [17:00] alan___: Will that allow editing/saving MP3 files? All I need to do is split some audio files (and Audacity doesn't want to playback any audio). [17:00] jesus_christoffe: please provide as much detail about your setup as possible. [17:00] ailean, then you should ask in #vbox or read their faq [17:00] <`Matir> Xyc0, xrandr --output --mode 1024x768 [17:01] GleepGlop: you have crdrom line there? mine is /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 ...

[17:06] GleepGlop: what are your options in fstab that are used for mounting cdrom? [17:06] cbdalos: if you're doing it automatically then it should create it for you. That error appears when mounting manually in the terminal. I can help you mounting it in the terminal if you don't know how [17:06] How can I change the terminal keymap?

[17:12] cbdalos: it's an l <-- small L [17:12] hey [17:12] hwilde: You can do it by using this command: killall -HUP inetd, I think. [17:12] l << L |< hey people [17:12] <`Matir> JL1213, do you have the latest firmware with the bcm fwcutter? [17:12] carandraug, k [17:12] How can I change the terminal keymap?

[17:13] rob: Just find the .deb installer and run it. [17:13] bliz0r, umm that is going to kill my remote connection [17:13] !synaptic [17:13] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [17:13] <`Matir> JL1213, do you get anything in dmesg when you try to connect? [17:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41285, carandraug' [17:13] !synaptic | rob [17:13] rob: please see above [17:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41285, carandraug [17:13] thanks [17:14] Matir: Not sure what dmesg is. I'm kind of new to Ubuntu. [17:14] carandraug, did you get it? [17:14] <`Matir> JL1213, that's fine... if you open a console and run 'dmesg', it shows you the kernel message log [17:14] hwilde: It's going to kill all your services, like FTP, HTTP etc. [17:14] hwilde: And restart them. [17:15] cbdalos: Yeah, we got it. It looks like your Windows partition is the booting partition? I wasn't here when you stated your original problem, but I'm guessing you want Linux to be in control? [17:15] bliz0r, which one do I need to restart for apt-get update to resolve the dns servers [17:15] cbdalos: you can see with this command that what you want to mount is the device in /dev/sdb1 (the last one). You need to create a directory for it. That's usually in /media/. So run "sudo mkdir /media/sdb1/" for that. You can use another name for the mout point if you prefer [17:15] Matir: Thanks. Let me check on that real quick and I'll pastebin whatever I get. [17:15] bliz0r, and isn't the appropriate way /etc/init.d/networking restart ? [17:16] aha [17:16] bobertdos, no it's the USB flashdrive won't mount because of an "invalid mount option" prblm so i'm trying to mount it through the terminal [17:16] bliz0r, and isn't that going to kill my ssh terminal [17:16] cro: oh well that had no effect [17:16] gotcha [17:16] carandraug, okay i'm running the command [17:17] !search * [17:17] Found: logs-#ubuntuforums, tvout, abs, hdbug, picard, gary, ubunto, officialdocs, winkey, overshare [17:17] carandraug, can you post the command one more time, i def typed it in wrong and i can't see the old one [17:17] !overshare [17:17] Um thanks... We *really* did not need to know that... [17:17] carandraug, ps i'm guessing you can't scroll in irssi? [17:18] uh ? [17:18] what? [17:18] does anyone know a good way to get 1080p playback working without skipping and freezing? it works on my new laptop in windows but not ubuntu and im using the nvidia restricted drivers [17:18] hello everyone. I disabled GDM (because it doesn't seem to be playing nice with my keychain setup, login + startx does). Now when I type startx, GNOME loads. I want to use a different WM. How can I set this? [17:18] cbdalos: the command to create it is "sudo mkdir /media/sdb1" sudo gives you root permission and mkdir comes from "make directory" [17:18] <_Lucretia_> my emacs22-gtk keeps locking up, if I change to a different desktop the disk is thrashing and i have to kill X to get back to normal [17:18] ah, gotcha ubottu... you thinked i said something eh? [17:18] Does anyone know how to edit the right sidebar of ume-launcher? [17:19] lol [17:19] okay, carandraug, i ran the command [17:19] i'm back to carlos@carlos-laptop:~$ [17:20] bliz0r, you don't need to restart anything for dns changes in /etc/resolv.conf to take effect. thanks [17:20] cbdalos: !! I have the same prompt [17:20] hello [17:20] i need some help with twinview [17:20] Does anyone know if it is possible to have both wireless and ethernet up at the same time? I am a computer networker and I know it isn't good to have both connections on the same network, but I use my wireless so I can get to the internet and sometimes use my ethernet to configure network devices (like an AP using a cross over). [17:20] debCarlos, you mean prblm? or..... [17:21] Dragonlaw: whats the prob. [17:21] how do I preserve the layout in a screen ? I have made some vertical and horizontal split regions and now when re-attach to my screen all the layout has disappeared and they are all just tabs [17:21] carandraug: i ran the command, what is the next step? thanks for the help [17:21] cbdalos: no,, just coincidence :) [17:21] Has anyone installed sage from sagemath.org for use on ubuntu? [17:21] KDB9000: I don't think it is actually possible... [17:21] cbdalos: Now that the directory is created, you can try mounting the flash drive to it. [17:21] cbdalos: in that command you can see that the filesystem is FAT16. Run "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1" the option -t says the type of filesystem in the device, /dev/sdb1 is the path to device and /media/sdb1 is the path to mount point [17:21] exit [17:21] I get an authentication faild, when I run system/systemproperties/tasks anyone? [17:21] when i plug my laptop into an external projector, twinview makes the resolution on the external projector at 600x400. Im using a thinkpad t61, nvidia with the envyng driver [17:22] OllieA: I know it is possible in windows because I have done it before. I know Ubuntu isn't windows but it should be possible [17:22] need help [17:22] KDB9000, yeah but Windows is commercial so it will offer better features than ubutnu... [17:22] carandraug: i ran that command and am back to carlos@carlos-laptop:~$ [17:23] Dragonlaw: hmm, dont' knw about the envyng driver.. i use the regular restricted driver and it works fine [17:23] jesus_christoffe: On what? [17:23] cbdalos: did it gave any error? Check if it's mounted now. [17:23] carandraug: it's mounted! thanks so much! [17:23] ome help here...I spent hours trying to configure openoffice to display right some greek fonts. After some success, I tried printing it, and it comes up like crap....What do I do ? [17:23] how can I allow a use to sudo ? [17:23] oh ok. i'll uninstall envy and try the restricted drivers again then [17:23] OllieA, commercial or not doesn't matter when it comes to being "better", it's usually more about what one prefers ;) [17:23] i need to get my wireless device on my network activated [17:23] Dragonlaw: why would you use envy t install an nvidia driver?.. thats like removing the engine to do an oil change. [17:23] KDB9000: I do that in Ubuntu sometimes as well and it doesn't hurt anything. [17:23] Dragonlaw: well, no telling what envy has done to your system, but good luck on that. [17:23] cbdalos: no porblem. Try Shift+Page Up or just page up to scroll in your IRC lient [17:23] re [17:24] Ms5, try #openoffice.org [17:24] carandraug: okay so quick second question? haha please, i have an external hard drive that also does the same problem, so do i repeat the same steps except change the drive type after -t ? and thanks for letting me know about the scroll haha === EisNerd_ is now known as EisNerd [17:24] hmm at that point of time it seemed like a good idea to get the latest driver [17:24] although it does not sound like that good an idea now [17:24] hi - where can i get the Radeon 4870 X2 driver for ubuntu? have looked... no can find. [17:24] KDB9000, I had my wireless connected to the internet and one of my internal cards connected to my LAN (sharing the wireless connection) a while ago. Is it like that you mean it? [17:24] shesek It's not about openoffice, it's about the ubuntu system, something between it and the printer [17:24] !envy | Dragonlaw heed the warning [17:24] Dragonlaw heed the warning: 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 [17:24] bobertdos, When I connected the AP, the nm-applet switched to ethernet mode and I couldn't connect to a website, so it somehow disconnected my wireless. Then when I unplugged the AP it gos back though and gets an IP for the wireless [17:25] cbdalos: basically, yes [17:25] bobertdos, thanks man, [17:25] thanks all [17:25] cbdalos: exact. You have to create the directory before mounting it and changing vfat for whatever the filesystem. If it's ntfs you should use ntfs-3g === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [17:25] carandraug, yea ntfs, so okay so -t ntfs-3g ?? [17:26] Ms5, than sorry, I dont know [17:26] is there anyway to use the regular restricted module [17:26] cbdalos: yes [17:26] k haha thanks ! [17:26] TwoD, Something like that but not really. When you get an AP it is set to a static address, linksys are 192.168.1.245. My network is a 10.10.x.x network so I need to use a cross over so I can get into the router and reconfigure it. I am not trying to share internet, just would like to be connect to the internet and be able to config devices (this way I can get a manual if I need to). [17:26] some help here...I spent hours trying to configure openoffice to display right some greek fonts. After some success, I tried printing it, and it comes up like crap....What do I do ? [17:26] I installed rcconfig and did some changes to the deamons, now I get an authentication failure, whben I run system/systemproperties/deamons anyone can help please? [17:27] how do i know if my modem works? [17:27] hey ive been told 'sudo passwd root' is bad, correct?? [17:27] cbdalos: yeah "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /path_to_device /path_to_mount". Once you're done don't forget to umount it "sudo umount /path_to_device" You don't need anything else to umount. After that you can remove the direcory or leave it there for next time [17:27] hey guys is VMware and Virtualbox the same thing, as there just different programs doing the same purpose? like photoshop and paintshop? [17:27] TwoD, sorry I ment AP, not the router [17:27] if so, why? === Abracadabra is now known as Abra_Away [17:27] as = asin* [17:27] dfgas: install minicom and try to get it to dial out [17:27] Dragonlaw: sure there is... but after you've installed Envy, who knows.. like i said, at thi point, good luck [17:27] !away > Abra_Away [17:27] Abra_Away, please see my private message [17:27] !vmware [17:27] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.

[17:29] hello [17:29] ok Gnea [17:29] klwei for the common commands you use sudo for, like apt-get stuff, add aliases [17:29] klwei, think about it; root on irc? how safe do you think that is? [17:29] hello everyone, I've got a problem, when I open rtorrent VLC is stoping to play movies, and wont start it again, befoore I shut down rtorrent, does anybody know why ? [17:29] klwei: i should clarify: sudo -i, by itself. [17:29] klwei - just login as root, type "su" at the prompt to be superuser if you don't want to precede everything w/ sudo [17:29] is there a docx corrupt file recovery tool in the ubuntu repos that anyone knows about [17:29] im not on root here bazhang [17:29] i'm beginner, i want to /etc/rc.conf, but i cannot get to this file, how to enter to /etc/rc.conf ? [17:29] m0u5e, apparently not [17:29] but in another tty [17:29] can i get LXDE on my ubuntu as an alternate desktop environment? [17:29] ckyle, not good advice at all. [17:29] how can I allow a use to sudo ? [17:29] *user [17:29] ckyle: negative. [17:29] stianiquniez: rtorrent is probably making the hash which takes some time [17:30] bobertdos, Do you use the nm-applet? [17:30] whens the next version of ubuntu coming ? [17:30] ckyle: By default, root is locked in Ubuntu. [17:30] carthik: ok thx [17:30] !ibex > LOGAN [17:30] LOGAN, please see my private message [17:30] ok - i'm new to linux [17:30] LOGAN: october [17:30] carandraug, : so I'll have to wait before that is finish ? [17:30] shesek: i think you have to add him to the admin group .... [17:30] !sudo > ckyle [17:30] ckyle, please see my private message [17:30] ckyle: all the more reason you should refrain from giving advice. [17:31] LOGAN: october [17:31] KDB9000: I'm rethinking my answer a bit. I wonder what would happen if you used dhclient to re-acquire an IP address for the wireless after connecting the ethernet. [17:31] Hi How do i get my Dlink wireless adapter to work with ubuntu? [17:31] IndyGunFreak: I disagree. the only way people will learn is to do. he should at least know the basic ropes first. [17:31] DR-E: it should work by default? [17:31] DR-E: just connect to it [17:31] no it doesnt detect the adaptor... [17:31] Gnea: eh, maybe you gav him a bit more politically correct answer.. :) [17:31] DR-E: usb? [17:31] stianiquniez: yes. It can take a while though. Don't you see "Hashing" followed by a percentage during that time? Once it's finished it should be ok. It has to do that for all torrents you have [17:31] new to ubuntu [17:31] yes usb [17:32] IndyGunFreak: 'negative'? lol [17:32] :) [17:32] cheers, october approaching fast :) [17:32] how to login as root? [17:32] bobertdos, What do you mean? [17:32] KDB9000, ah you mean you wish to be able to set the AP for a 10.10.x.x network without having to reconfigure your wireless card to use 192.168.x.x first, hence you use the other NIC temporarily? That should definately be possible. I didn't understand exactly what happened with the nm-applet at what point. [17:32] ganesh: sudo -l [17:32] ganesh: you don't. use sudo [17:32] ganesh: you don't, use sudo. [17:32] carandraug, : no, it take some time before the list of torrents come up, I don't know why.. [17:32] Gnea: now that was awesome [17:33] IndyGunFreak: :) [17:33] Anyone know how to replace a "block device" that someone may have idiotically removed? [17:33] mknod? [17:33] just a guess... [17:34] ckyle, what is that [17:34] cyzie: correct :) [17:34] er, ckyle: correct [17:34] why is it bad to sudo root passwd? [17:34] stianiquniez: it also takes some time on mine. A few seconds. But I can see movies while it's hashing, it's just the computer that gets really slow. Maybe I have a faster computer than yours or running smaller processes [17:34] Gnea:to install sify client instruction says login as root ...i installed using sudo..but gives error like error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [17:34] GrnFraggle: mknod will do it [17:34] leave [17:34] i think so too, but i can't get /dev/ttyUSB0 to mount to /mnt/foobar [17:34] TwoD, That is correct, that is what I want to do. nm-applet seems to still be a little under developed. I know it is possible and should be possible but it acts like I can only use one or the other at a time. [17:34] sluckz, unsafe [17:34] sluckz: why does root need a password? [17:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5681585 [17:34] ganesh: that doesn't sound like it has anything to do w/ using sudo. [17:35] what hidden folder in my home directory would cause browsing a windows network to be slow? === UdontKnow is now known as \0 [17:35] I'm trying to get my palm to sync, and one of the suggestions was to mknow /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 o. It didnt' help, so i rm /dev/ttyUSB0 [17:35] Candale: a large one [17:35] i was just arguing with people in ##linux regarding this and realized i dont really know why this is so bad [17:35] carandraug, : maby, but i started rtorrent for like 5 minutes ago, and the list is still not there, but I know it will come, it have always beeing slow hashing and showing the list, but befoore I could see movies while I did it. [17:35] sluckz: you're giving your root account the password root. NOt only are you activating your root account that way, you're also giving it a really easy to guess password [17:35] Gnea: ha [17:35] i personally dont do that any more [17:36] ok hey, is "dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip -9 >hda1.img.gz" the right way to do it? a partition backup from a ntfs to a fat32 (!) partition that is. i slightly remember fat32 can't store files bigger than x where x is something about 4GB, right?? =/ [17:36] !root | sluckz [17:36] sluckz: 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 [17:36] i mean the hidden files in my home computer on the local drive [17:36] now i can't sync. i asked in here last nite, and tried mount /dev/ttyUSB0 /mnt/foobar i got the message that /dev/USB0 isn't a valid block device [17:37] stianiquniez: how do you load the torrent list? Do you have a folder and have rtorrent constantly check that folder for new torrents? If so, check the configuration file [17:37] * Milenko yawns [17:37] IndyGunFreak: then how can i fix the problem?i followed the instruction [17:37] klwei: yeah, fat32 has a silly 4096 barrier limit on blocks, making backup and conversion a PITA. [17:37] ohnoes [17:37] Gnea: what could i do?? [17:37] i like pita bread... [17:37] carandraug, : yes i have, I will check the conf file.. [17:37] aah that might explain the partimage error tho! [17:37] klwei: copy the files to a real FS, then back that up [17:37] i have to set the file size to 4096 GB/GiB? [17:38] If I have an 8GB USB drive, is there any way to have multiple live cd's on it? [17:38] klwei: of course, you'll be on your own with permission handling [17:38] klwei: no, you just can't do it with fat32 [17:38] klwei: either ntfs or ext3 === \0 is now known as UdontKnow [17:38] Gnea: why not, partimage can split the backup to files < 4GB [17:38] okay. I was having problems browsing my windows network with my user profile. I created a new user and do not have the same issues. Does anyone know why? [17:38] hello [17:38] carandraug, : nothing wrong whit the conf file ;S [17:39] d' [17:39] gq_gunhed: How may we help you? [17:39] bobertdos: does anyone know how to read the RAM frequency from the console? something like cat /proc/meminfo ??? [17:39] Gnea: i still can do it without reformating my drive right? partimage can split the backup to files < 4GB [17:39] klwei: because fat32 sucks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table [17:40] is there a way to install flash10 on ubuntu 8.04? (Is Flash 10 even available yet?) [17:40] but its possible is it [17:40] stianiquniez: try adding manually the torrents instead of using the folder and see if it works. Maybe it's some torrent you have there that's giving problems [17:40] gq_gunhed: I think that's right....... [17:40] klwei: i've never used partimage with fat32, so YMMV. [17:40] heh [17:40] damn [17:40] YMMV? [17:40] Matir: It didn't open anything. [17:40] gq_gunhed: let's see........ [17:40] * IndyGunFreak has a 188gig Fat 32 partition..lol [17:40] Theaxiom: Your Mileage May Vary. [17:40] ok i might change everything to ntfs or ext3 [17:40] bobertdos: /proc/meminfo shows RAM stats but I don't think it shows the speed. [17:40] klwei: but I have, however, tried to backup fat32 with clonezilla. [17:40] is the ntfs support good enoug already? [17:40] Dan6688: Thanks, lol [17:41] IndyGunFreak: how so? [17:41] Theaxiom: =) [17:41] klwei: yes. [17:41] Milenko: i just used partedmagic to create it.

[17:42] gparted [17:42] thx Gnea [17:42] JL1213: dmesg [17:42] mano, there are some things that startup in /etc/init.d and /etc/rcS.d that you might not need.

[17:42] Dan6688: Sorry it is American Association Against Acronym Abuse [17:42] Theaxiom: No worries, I got it. [17:42] Dan6688: Ok, enough OT for me, lol [17:42] hwilde, how do i check that?

[17:44] and then takes me to that command box [17:44] safe box or something like that [17:44] mano, you could go in Synaptic and uninstall whatever you don't want. or look at umm System->admin->system monitor. in the processes tab that is everything running. if you don't need it you could get rid of it [17:45] Xpistos, yes, but did you follow the instructions on the Wine AppDB or not? if not, do it [17:45] Abztrakt23, busy box? that is usually hardware related. did you run the check cd for errors [17:45] hwilde, thanks [17:45] Dan6688: Doesn't matter, ubuntu intall is easier than win configuration [17:45] samething happens when I check for cd errors [17:45] carandraug, : yeah, you were right, there was one silly torrent that maked it all crazy, thanks.. [17:45] Abztrakt23: you mean busy box? Doesn't it give an error message when it happens? Try the alternate CD then [17:45] it just takes me back to busy box === issyl0 is now known as issyl0_ [17:45] no error message === issyl0_ is now known as issyl0 [17:45] Dan6688: first time you run windows you have to configure it, [17:45] Ex-Chat [17:45] stianiquniez: no problem [17:45] Magnetron: There are instructions for installing Guild wars on Wine's Site? Crap I never even checked that [17:45] at the top it says Loading, Please wait [17:45] Abztrakt23, you could try the alternate cd [17:45] and then it shows the busy box [17:46] !alternate | Abztrakt23 [17:46] Abztrakt23: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

Makes my problem that much harder to work with, since I have to see if I need something in Ubuntu and then download it in Windows to a USB drive and then install it.

[18:15] use that command [18:15] if that doesn't work you'll need to use synaptic to install the libs [18:15] Abztrakt23, reboot and chose Windows from the booloader menu. Assuming you installed GRUB and it detected your Windows partition. [18:15] ? [18:15] W9ZEB: and if the plugins are installed on the system, not as user, then they will be installed system-wide, and you'll need to look in the system-wide directory to find them. usually /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ [18:15] Matir: I know what you mean.

I'm trying to extract the latest one from the openwrt project right now to see if they are the same. [18:17] oh so it's not a dual boot? [18:17] Abztrakt23: it is.

I just need to know where the config file is stored. [18:20] Abztrakt23: just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and copy the lines for windows to the top [18:20] Abztrakt23: you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the line that says "default". to know which number to put there intstead of "0", you need to look at the order of the entries [18:20] ThreeFinity: The-Compiler, find /path ! -name "*.mp3" -print [18:20] I guess I'll have to google that [18:20] Abztrakt23: ...top of the listing, not top of the file [18:20] ThreeFinity, move the *.mp3 elsewhere for a moment then remove the directory then rename the temporary home to the original (is one way) [18:20] does anyone know of any packages that contain the C++ libraries, or DirectX libraries, or OpenGL libraries? [18:20] right :P [18:20] How do you recommend backup up a PC? I need something that can pretty much back up the whole thing. If the hard drive fails I need to be able to restore it.

[18:29] CBProg - might as well stick with Anjuta for now... that's what I mostly use to start with... I can't figure out how to point to the X11 libs, so have resorted to gcc for learning Xlib. Next step for me is to learn to set the library paths in Anjuta, then I'll be good to go. [18:29] the_eraser: no i havent, should i just put inj a new resolution?

Makes it easier to help out. [18:30] ciao a tutti [18:30] duwlas: no, bit more involved than that. you need to reboot your computer, then at the GRUB menu (the boot menu, if it doesn't show up, you need to keep pressing Esc), you hit "e" to edit, then select the longest line, and add "vga=ask" to it, then you hit "b" to boot [18:30] !test [18:30] * shibz__ tested [18:30] sigh... again?

How would I get rid of the message? [18:31] Dabbu: its not possible, im afraid =[ [18:32] I've extracted an archive. Made cd to source directory and entered ./configure, than make and got these errors [18:32] the_eraser: yeah il give it a try, thanks :) [18:32] pxrbot: i think its under section "screen" [18:32] np [18:32] duwlas: i suspect it can only be done at boot, although the package "svgatextmode" might let you change it afterwards [18:32] slackerware_o: check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856902 [18:32] duwlas: i guess you'd like to give svgatextmode a try anyway [18:32] T_T if i get sound in wine, i cant get sound in linux, and if i get sound in linux, wine has no sound T_T [18:33] duwlas: there is one more problem..when i visit some windows computer in LAN the visited drive will remane mounted and generally i visit 20-30 drive and that make my computer look like a mess.how to unmount this automatically [18:33] andriy: What is it that you're trying to compile?

[18:35] hello [18:35] andriy: Watch the output of the configure script. Take note of the dependencies it says it's missing. [18:35] I build my own deb package and it has some dependencies. Can I install those dependencies during package installation? Like apt-get does ? [18:35] nop [18:35] andriy: is the package "build-essential" installed?

[18:36] it is the onboard audio from an asus L1N64 MB [18:36] Hmm... my router, as far as I can tell, gives out addresses for both of my ISP's DNS servers via DHCP.

[18:37] drive work fine in other pc [18:38] wal3: not one tab per window, just one close button that closes the current tab [18:38] wal3: instead of 10 close buttons if you have 10 tabs open [18:38] jasonlife: what are you trying to install from a .deb file? [18:38] TiredWolf: yes, this would help. is it possible? [18:38] Hi I have a plextor remote control which I would like to use to control Elisa. Right now the remote is working (somewhat like a mouse) but I need to remap the keys to work with Elisa. Where do I start? [18:38] wal3: i don't know, as i said i don't have gnome, but perhaps it is, because i vaguely recall that some program in gnome had the option. i might be wrong. [18:38] Matir: Ok. Thanks. :D [18:39] stemount^, you there? [18:39] <`Matir> JL1213, good luck and lemme know how it works out [18:39] how can i exit X and get to console? su init 3 is not working [18:39] TiredWolf: ok thx [18:39] Bruners: can't getting to the console without exiting X be an acceptable alternative? you can do that by hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 [18:39] IndyGunFreak: I built my own debian package and it has some dependencies.. I'm wondering I can use a install command to install all dependencies at the same time, like apt-get install does. [18:39] Bruners: otherwise, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [18:39] TiredWolf: need to exit X to install nvidia drivers [18:40] jasonlife: i believe gdebi does that [18:40] jasonlife: i agree w/ TiredWolf i think gdebi should do that [18:40] Matir: Will do. [18:40] Bruners: then "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop", later "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" to restart it. although i wasn't aware you needed to exit X to install those...

[18:44] joaopinto: such is life [18:44] joaopinto: so now the next question is... where can I find the libraries? haha [18:45] I regret the day i bought an X-fi xtremeaudio pci-e T_T [18:45] RoflCopter: you haven't produced any details as to your problem, therefore we cannot properly ascertain that that is, indeed, the issue at hand.

[19:17] PMantis: ok...just wanted to see if your filesystem was readonly or not [19:17] Lns: dh -f shows 1.4G free. [19:18] PMantis: What's your problem? I'm too lazy to try and decipher the buffer. [19:18] Hi, how do I remap input from a USB HID? It's a remote control which I want to work with Elisa. [19:18] doogers, I suggest you look at: http://lumumba.uhasselt.be/takis/howto/qemu.html I suspect your working space is not large enough but that not is not expert help just looks like you can't read something therefore it is not where it is expected to be [19:19] lavacano201014: I expanded a server disk with a gparted bootable cd. Worked ok for some time, but today: df -h shows 1.4G free, dpkg complaines it's out of space. [19:19] PMantis: Stupid idea here, but possibly there's a file that needs edited? [19:19] lavacano201014: There must be something to update pointers, addresses, etc. === ERXETAI_H_WRA is now known as JERONYMO === XLV_ is now known as XLV [19:20] Hmm. [19:20] lavacano201014: That's what I thought, but dunno where to go... perhaps a fsck run will update it? [19:20] anyone here know how to get GDM to work with NIS? [19:20] * lavacano201014 gets an idea [19:21] Not sure how to fsck a mounted filesystem, or force it to check on next reboot. [19:21] ompaul, also with Virtualbox-ose, vmware-fusion I received that error [19:21] Grrr...stinkin' aterm colors not letting me see directories in ls. [19:21] lavacano201014: lol [19:21] PMantis, reboot into rescue mode and fsck from there [19:22] according to uname -r i got 2.6.24-19-generic, why does the update manager offer me several linux-xxx-2.6.24-19 packages ? [19:22] doogers, I don't use those, but it can't read a block so it has failed perhaps something else is the issue - try burning your image onto a cd and if that does not run you have a broken image back to scratch [19:22] joaopinto: Perfect... I'll have to do that after hours though. [19:23] PMantis, fsck -A -y [19:24] joaopinto: Rescue mode? That single user mode? [19:24] joaopinto: How do you work that? [19:24] lavacano201014, yes, it's labeled as rescue mode, you can select it from the grub menu (boot) [19:24] Uh huh. [19:24] I'm having trouble connecting to a access point in hardy [19:25] So I'm doing it wrong when I try to do "sudo telinit 1". Gotcha. [19:25] The access point is creating from sharing internet over a wirless card on an Apple [19:25] lavacano201014, that will not get into rescue mode, you will need to reboot [19:25] using 128 bit encryption [19:25] Hi, anyone knows what is the command to x server configuration? [19:25] but my ubuntu machine refuses to connect [19:26] natalisushka: There's a file somewhere that you edit, don't remember where... [19:26] Probably in /etc someplace... [19:26] * lavacano201014 hunts it down [19:26] ... /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:26] ndumac: Thank you. [19:27] lavacano201014, I know, I need the command that edits that file for me [19:27] natalisushka: Oh jeez, I have no clue there.. [19:27] oi [19:27] natalisushka: vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:27] :) [19:27] Why not just edit the file yourself? [19:27] natalisushka: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [19:28] Paro[Away], that's what I am talking about :) [19:28] natalisushka: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [19:28] whats your name [19:28] bruna: ?

[19:28] my name is nihad [19:28] sha16, what is the difference between using -phigh and not using it? [19:28] Anyone familiar with wireless encryptions ? [19:28] Paro[Away], natalisushka that doesnt work anymore [19:28] my name rafa [19:28] hi rafa [19:28] My Name is...Slartibartfast. [19:28] no speak english [19:28] usser, why? [19:28] portugues [19:29] I told you it wasn't important!.

Obrigado. [19:29] usser, you mean -phigh ? [19:29] i can speak russian, turkish, azerbaijani, english, esperanto [19:29] natalisushka, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [19:29] natalisushka: do as said.. but make sure that u hav user manual of monitor and answer few questions like horizontal sync, etc etc..

[19:31] work* [19:32] natalisushka, the blue screen is there its just never gonna ask you about resolution and refresh rate and such [19:32] usser, you are right! [19:32] It just existed right after configuring the keyboard! [19:32] But why? [19:32] aww, they didn't add in my !immature command... === darrend_ is now known as darrend [19:33] natalisushka, they took it away [19:33]  to install frostwire which java version to be installed?

I want to be able to right click a folder and play all content in it. Any tips? [19:34] I've been working now for 4 days trying to get my video to go back to 'better'.. my current xorg.conf is here http://pastebin.com/m3e5a40df I cannot get full screen video, period. if I try, all I get is a flash of the full screen video and it returns to windowed mode (this is all on streaming video), when I try to watch a .flv locally from the desktop it is very lagged and choppy. Again, 4 days and I haven't even managed to move 1 inch [19:34] in the right direction, could someone help me out with this? ATI fglrx drivers + Ubuntu Hardy [19:34] anyone able to help me out with connecting iPhone to ubuntu. It wont accept root password that I know is correct because I can SSH to it [19:34] natalisushka, when your comp just boots theres a black screen with a countdown for like 3 seconds press ESC there you will be presented with a menu select the second option it should say something like recovery [19:34] hello, my friend has an Asmax BR-604 router and he hasn't got connection to the internet; he already compiled drivers for his net card [19:34]  usser:in synaptic manager there are many java options..which one to select?full name? [19:34] marlun: what music player do you use? [19:34] ganesh: I just went ahead and installed it, so default Java seems OK. Possibly I already installed it as a dependency though [19:34] ganesh, sun-java6-jre [19:35] usser, oh sorry! silly me, just totally forgot about it. [19:35] we already looked for solution, but to no avail [19:35] carandraug: I've tested rhythmbox, banshee, muine. Totem can play a folder but it adds dupplicates when it hits playlist files and I don't want that :) [19:35] Does dpkg -i take dependencies to account? [19:35] Fazer: using wired or wireless? [19:35] gaintsura: whats the output of lspci | grep VGA [19:35] Exaile!!! [19:36] Best music player yet ;) [19:36] sha16: hold [19:36] triggerhapp: I'm an amarok fanboy, myself [19:36] anyone able to help me out with connecting iPhone to ubuntu. It wont accept root password that I know is correct because I can SSH to it [19:36] marlun: what I did was a script for nautilus once. It's quite easy and it should work with any player as long as you can do it from the terminal [19:36] 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [19:36] I was till I saw what it did to load GTK and QT at once [19:36] anyone able to help me out with connecting iPhone to ubuntu. It wont accept root password that I know is correct because I can SSH to it [19:36] carandraug: yeah, terminal would work. [19:37] tigerplug: No need to spam your question. [19:37] tigerplug: usually root account is disabled in the ssh config [19:37] tigerplug: Someone will help you in due time. [19:37] what duz I need to mount usb flashdrives? [19:37] `sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdf1 /media/fl` isn't working [19:37] is there a way to rename a partition? [19:38] gaint sura: urs is 32 bit or 64 bit? [19:38] duwlas: You mean relabel? [19:38] <_Zeus_> daedra: what does it say? [19:38] gaintsura: urs is 32 bit or 64 bit? [19:38] yes lavacano201014 [19:38] daedra: plug it in :) [19:38] marlun: for example, with audacious "audacious -e /path_to_folder" would enque all the files in that folder anda all files inside all folders inside that folder, and so on [19:38] relabel [19:38] duwlas: Probably, I never needed to though... [19:38] hehe [19:38] Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (headers and libraries) , how do I install them ? [19:38] sha16: I'm running on 32 bit, but 64 bit capable [19:38] I just downloaded a file that is devided in two parts (aaa.part1.rar & aaa.part2.rar) how can i join the two parts please? [19:38] daedra: it should then show up in your Places (maybe under Computer), just click it and it should auto-mount [19:38] <_Zeus_> ScheissDrogen: sudo apt-get install qt [19:38] <_Zeus_> !info qt [19:38] Package qt does not exist in hardy [19:38] <_Zeus_> oops wait [19:38] AzizLight, unrar part1 [19:38] Hey trigger, there's a tut here: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/09/23/how-to-mount-your-iphone-filesystem-on-your-desktop-in-ubuntu/ [19:38] is there something i should know before applying the kernel patches offered by the update manager ? [19:38] ScheissDrogen: For headers you might need "qt-dev" or something like [19:39] !search qt [19:39] Found: flavors, qt, maps, gui, disks, mount-#kubuntu, players, browsers, envyng, directconnect [19:39] lol :) wrong ping! [19:39] i'm sorry the question but my sound is really to low here when i'm using linux or when i try windows is vry more hight the sound :x someone knows how can i fix it ?! [19:39] usser: oh ok, so thanks [19:39] <3 [19:39] jhattara, if u installed any drivers manually they will stop working [19:39] duwlas; renaming the mount point perhaps? [19:39] !qt [19:39] Qt is the Qt (pronounced "cute") toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI. Install the libqt3-mt-dev package to compile Qt 3 applications or libqt4-dev for Qt 4 applications. Qt 4.4 is available from hardy-backports [19:39] hello there i wanna know which PC-Emulator is the best? I got an ThinkPad so i have this Intel CPU Hardware supported Emulation Feature too. Which fits best now and has a GUI? Qemu or VMware or whatelse? [19:39] bastid_raZor: the entire partition rather [19:39] How can I change the terminal keymap? I just need to know where the config file is stored. [19:39] ScheissDrogen: libqt3-mt-dev [19:39] <_Zeus_> spanther: virtualbox [19:39] bastid_raZor: qparted apparently can't do it [19:39] <_Zeus_> !info virtualbox-ose [19:39] virtualbox-ose (source: virtualbox-ose): x86 virtualization solution - binaries.

I have a laptop with ATI graphic card (in fact most of my devices are ATI which I abhor) .. anyway, since I installed ubuntu 8.04 (never tried any previous version on this one) I am getting my usb mouse (or any usb) not working at all after using a session for half an hour or so (or when loading a lot of apps with high graphics, that happens when my visual effects are set to none. When vis [19:39] ual effects are set to normal, it works the same amount of time, and after a while or after loading lots of heavy stuff, my system suddenly exists to show a unix screen with stuff written as if restarting, but hangs there forever! any idea? [19:39] how can i set up my linux box as a router? i want to track down a machine on my network thats downloading large ammounts of data (trojan etc) so i figured that going through linux and allowing linux to monitor it would be best, so does any one have any suggestions? [19:39] bastid_raZor: gparted that is [19:40] spanther, you can just give them a try and see what you like. I am a qemu fan myself, but virtual box is probably the most known [19:40] usser, so basically all i have to do after that is to re-install the proprietary kernel module drivers i got ? i presume the computer will want to reboot itself after kernel upgrades, or ? [19:40] Gnea: I'm not using a GUI [19:40] <_Zeus_> natalisushka: have you enabled restricted drivers? [19:40] g [19:40] Okay, this has been driving me up the wall for awhile now - on this tyan motherboard, I've got 4 USB ports. I've already got pci=routeirq set to fix some other problems, but when i try to plug more than 1 USB mass-storage device in (whether or not it's self-powered), the new device cancels out the other device. For instance, if I have a CDROM plugged in, it is /dev/sr1, and if I plug a HD or flash in, the /dev/sr1 disappears. [19:40] duwlas; you want to label it from what to what? [19:40] daedra: server? [19:40] virtualbox-ose does it support this intel emulated hardware feature ? (intel supports emulated systems with more power there) [19:41] jhattara, yes pretty much. If u used restricted manager however u have nothing to worry about [19:41] and I get this message in syslog: kernel: [190185.391826] usb 4-4: device not accepting address 42, error -71 [19:41] duwlas; while in gparted did you have the partition unmounted? [19:41] _Zeus_, I have ATI accelerated graphic driver "in use" but not enabled [19:41] jhattara, its gonna pull in all the proprietary modules for the new kernel [19:41] carandraug: Doesn't seem to work over sftp? [19:41] bastid_raZor: yes unmounted [19:41] _Zeus_, should this help? [19:41] bastid_raZor: wanna just change the label [19:42] JoeSomebody: Nice nick. I'm stealing it on another network. [19:42] Gnea: yea [19:42] usser, restricted manager ? [19:42] For a while anyway. [19:42] sha16: I'd like to point out that I've been in here 4 days running now trying to get help, when I enable the ATI driver (from the driver manager applet) I lose all GUI [19:42] how do I mount it? [19:42] hi guys [19:42] i use ubuntu in the moment right now [19:42] Gnea: Its just a simple usb device under /dev/sdf1 [19:42] Does VirtualBox have Gnome Support so that i get a Starter Icon in the Menu? [19:42] _Zeus_, ehem [19:42] Gnea: I know it is vfat from mounting under other linuxes - had no problem with those [19:42] spanther: You mean like a menu option in Applications? [19:42] What do you prefer? VirtualBox or VMWare [19:43] jhattara, u know how ubuntu prompts u to install a driver for an ati or nvidia videocard [19:43] marlun: it can work diferently with other players. Are you trying audacious? [19:43] hey everyone. i'm a complete noob when it comes to linux. where can i find this folde3?? "Create a file like so and place it in ~/.kde/Autostart" [19:43] duwlas; try this guide. even though it isn't a USB the steps are still the same. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive [19:43] lavacano201014: yeah sure :) [19:43] spanther: If not, you can probably make a launcher on your desktop [19:43] hey are there someone from Bulgaria? [19:43] daedra: #ubuntu-server would be able to help out better [19:44] nariman, ~ means your home folder. which is usually your usename. you can use ~ if you want (if your in terminal) [19:44] usser, i got an older ATI card, but i never got any notice about installing drivers for it [19:44] Switching from 64bit to 32bit ubuntu - possible without reinstalling? [19:44] aha, thanx Radux_ [19:44] nariman, folders with a period in front are hidden, so you'll have to go view and check hidden files too [19:44] nariman, then you should see.kde [19:44] bastid_raZor: perfect, thx [19:44] thats it [19:44] carandraug: yeah, it seems to work if I do play file from the playlist. [19:44] duwlas; glad i could help. [19:44] :) [19:44] :) [19:44] ok, gonna try that out now, thanx [19:44] carandraug: with audacious that is. [19:45] which client can I use for irc in linux? [19:45] ivkos: XChat or irssi [19:45] now i use pidgin [19:45] ivkos, irssi is pretty neat [19:45] Those are the two majorly used ones [19:45] marlun: you have to read the manpages of the other players to see how to do it then [19:45] Spammy. [19:45] ivkos, especially if you can get an ssh access to your computer [19:45] well I'm new to linux, btw [19:45] gaintsura: hold on for some time.. im searching.. [19:46] ivkos: in Ubuntu you can use an "xchat" for gnome :-) theres xchat itself and a gnome xchat go get the gnome one :) [19:46] Radux_: I cant find a folder called "autostart" in .kde [19:46] ivkos; xchat will be the easiest to figure out.. irssi is terminal based [19:46] thanks jhattara [19:46] shall i just create a new foldes called that? [19:47] jhattara, older ones dont use restricted manager. if u never seen it dont worry about it [19:47] I'll check out irssi [19:47] ivkos, irssi requires some time getting used to if you've used only GUI based clients, but i learned to like it [19:47] ivkos, oh oh... try bitchx too [19:47] usser, only proprietary driver showing in the device manager is for my wlan card [19:47] Umm just got an update message "linux-headers-2.6.24-19" etc... is this stable or should i wait ? Last thing i want is my install to become buggy and crash :/ [19:48] jhattara, oh i see but u didnt have to manually install it, ubuntu prompted u right? [19:48] lol, irssi has a ver for win32 [19:48] !staff | -makemoney Earn money just for clicks on ads | BuXOuT INSTANT CASH OUT | REGISTER NOW AND GET FREE VIP STATUS | CLICK HERE ---> http://www.buxout.com/?r=adx [19:48] usser, i had to compile it manually [19:48] bbq^: that's probably the one you are already using. try uname -r [19:48] * ompaul head desks [19:48] jhattara, yea then u'll have to redo it [19:48] fdisk -l /dev/sdf says there is a W95 FAT32 device at /dev/sdf1, and /media/fl exists [19:48] narimanm, i dont use kde, but I'd assume that just means there is nothing auto-started when you login [19:48] oki doke leo_rockway [19:48] but `sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdf1 /media/fl` isn't working [19:48] narimanm, its probably safe to create it yourself. [19:48] Ok guys, here's a problem that I was trying to solve. I have a laptop with ATI graphic card (in fact most of my devices are ATI which I abhor) .. anyway, since I installed ubuntu 8.04 (never tried any previous version on this one) I am getting my usb mouse (or any usb) not working at all after using a session for half an hour or so (or when loading a lot of apps with high graphics, that happens when my visual effects are set to none [19:48] daedra, what does it say? [19:48] bbq^: that's not a new kernel but an upgrade on an existing one [19:49] When visual effects are set to normal, it works the same amount of time, and after a while or after loading lots of heavy stuff, my system suddenly exists to show a unix screen with stuff written as if restarting, but hangs there forever! any idea? [19:49] * Gnea hands ompaul an icepack [19:49] AHh gotchya leo_rockway , so is it alright to go ? any issues with it ? [19:49] I used ubuntu a time ago and found it very cusomizable [19:49] Gnea, thanks [19:49] and yes i do have that currently [19:49] I used also openSUSE [19:49] hey bastid_raZor : ntfslable says "volume is dirty. run chkdsk and try again" [19:49] I don't know which one is better [19:49] usser: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [19:49] natalisushka, the 'unix screen' you saw is probably gnome being restarted [19:49] bbq^: I don't know, I don't even use Ubuntu anymore. my kernel is 2.6.25 xD [19:49] chkdsk isn't intalled tho, in what package is it, and what means 'dirty' [19:50] natalisushka, press ctel + alt + backspace and see if its the same screen, ok? (it will shut down any programs u have running) [19:50] bbq^: I'm guessing if it made it out of proposed then it should be fine [19:50] how about openSuse with GNOME? [19:50] natalisushka: o.O that's odd... have you tried re-routing IRQs? [19:50] LOL alright mate thanks for the info, i will just od it and if it stuffs up i will go back ot Fedora or Suse [19:50] I used it only with kde [19:50] usser, the driver is showing in the jockey-gtk (equivalent of the restricted manager you mentioned i believe), does that mean it could be installed automatically ? [19:50] yea should be [19:50] leo_rockway ... 2.6.27 here :3 [19:50] ldd avconn compains missing libssl.so.0.9.7 => not found , which package would suffice, i ckecked and found libssl greater version is installed [19:50] Gnea: sorry, I was away; he's trying to use wired connection [19:51] Teisei: which distro is that? [19:51] bloody kernal nerds :p [19:51] anyone, how cna i make Compiz run when i log in after a reboot. now i have to reload it manually and make all changes over again [19:51] leo_rockway: Ubuntu [19:51] Teisei: :O [19:51] Radux_, exactly, I have done this ctrl + alt + bs before and I noticed it shows the same thing and then starts the login screen, while when this happens it just hangs there until I press ctrl+alt+delete [19:51] natalisushka: probabl a bug on the graphic driver is cousing a kernel panic or oops under heavy graphic load [19:51] Teisei: you compiled it? [19:51] leo_rockway: I don't know, I got it via update manager [19:51] erUSUL, so .. how to stop kernel from panicking? [19:52] Teisei: oh, I thought hardy's kernel was just 2.6.19... o well... [19:52] Fazer: he should be able to plug it in and have it 'just work'. is there something weird about his network card? ubuntu 8.04 supports just about everything. [19:52] I installed some kernal on my other pc for 64bit Fedora and it completely buggered it :/ had to revert back [19:52] Ubuntu 8.04 has implemented NTFS writing? In LiveCD? [19:52] I just tried to write a file [19:52] !ntfs-3g | ivkos [19:52] leo_rockway: I think Hardy is running 2.6.24 kernel ... or 25 ... [19:52] ivkos: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[20:01] ivkos: there is, but if that feature was unneeded more even so is acrobat [20:01] KDB9000: howeverm like ivkos said, you don't really need that most of the times. Just select to open [20:01] Gnea: now some samba packages are broken -- how can i force a complete reinstall of them?

[20:03] Gnea, sorry for a lot of questions on that! after adding this, what will this make kernel do? And what exactly will happen? How will the problem actually end and in what way? [20:03] CarlFK: i pasted the command twice by mistake ... [20:03] school_: other than checking those out, i'm not sure :/ [20:04] hi, is there way for me to run mac (adobe software) in ubuntu? [20:04] carandraug, I have but then it doesn't load [20:04] apt get tried to install pitivi and failed to configure it. Now everytime I run it. It tries to configure and fails, giving me error messages, how to cancel this pitivi stuff? [20:04] CarlFK: anyway try something less "elaborate" dpkg -S /lib/modules/rest/of/path/to/ath_pci.ko [20:04] carandraug, it just says loading and sits there [20:04] about the pdf reader... on windows I use foxit reader and acrobat [20:04] natnayr: virtual machine maybe [20:04] natnayr: no way [20:04] I don't know is it available on linux [20:04] natalisushka: questions are fine :) it will make the kernel handle the hardware in a more efficient way, and it *should* (cross-fingers!) prevent the lockups from occurring. [20:05] ivkos: there is evince in ubuntu [20:05] gee thanks. this is a fresh install and I wish i could locate some directions for 8.04 on ltps install [20:05] wow i love this chat, thanks guys [20:05] leo_rockway: thanks. I know there's applications to convert it to others formats. But I lose graphs and images (which in my case are important). I can always start up X to view them, that's no problem [20:05] Gnea, you mean by lockups when it hangs? [20:05] natalisushka: yes. [20:05] Can any one here help me with a wireless pci card driver issue [20:06] Gnea, so in this case the system will only act as if I pressed ctrl+alt+bs ? [20:06] carandraug: I don't know of any app to load pdfs from console... if there is one I'd like to get it too! [20:06] KDB9000: happens with all pdf'? what pdf reader are you using? [20:06] !anyone > ryon_m1 [20:06] ryon_m1, please see my private message [20:06] natalisushka: if all goes well, you won't have to worry about pressing ctrl-alt-bs :) [20:06] if i was to get a new motherboard, will i have to reinstall my os? [20:06] Gnea, that doesn't really solve the problem, but it does help saving time waiting for my pc to reboot!!! [20:07] erUSUL: still no good. "dpkg: /lib/modules/2.6.27-1-generic/volatile/ath_pci.ko not found" http://dpaste.com/74502/ [20:07] plz help to enable my unclaimed network [20:07] carandraug, Happens with all of them [20:07] natalisushka: well, I don't know what else to suggest until you've actually tried it and seen what happens. [20:07] leo_rockway: so do I. I've asked it here before but no one answered. I can already write, message, watch movies, play music. But for pdf's X is still needed [20:07] Gnea, thanks :) .. do you think enabling restricted drivers may also help in solving the problem? Also I'd like to know what exactly are these restricted drivers that I find available for more (if not all) of the graphic drivers of many machines!? [20:07] I am having trouble getting a Netgear WG311v3 Wireless pci card to install, does anyone have any suggestions [20:08] carandraug: how do you watch movies? in ascii mode? [20:08] CarlFK: :| are you on intrepid? [20:08] KDB9000: are using gnome? Try reinstalling evince. I'll check the firefox abou:config in the mean time [20:08] erUSUL: yes [20:08] natalisushka: well, ATI handles their drivers differently (i agree, they are teh suck. nvidia rocks.), so in many cases, the restricted drivers should work just fine. [20:08] hi! [20:08] leo_rockway: no, in svga mode. You just add it to the command [20:08] how do i get firefox 3 to install? [20:08] do you guys know if there are any other howtos then http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts on installing ispconfig on ubuntu? [20:08] carandraug: using which app?

I just enabled it, need to restart and live my life and test :) [20:09] 8.04 [20:09] My Synaptic always get stucked in: "setting up " [20:09] Guest17056: oops, sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 [20:09] Gnea, thanks for your help [20:09] ok tyvm =D [20:09] natalisushka: you're welcome, [20:09] is it a common bug? [20:09] carandraug: :O how do I add svga mode? [20:09] CarlFK: that volatile directory bothers me ... maybe the file is simbolic link? [20:09] i need help enabling my wireless network anybody? [20:09] carandraug, what am i looking for in the config? [20:09] hi, how do I clean up, and remove old kernels? [20:10] KDB9000: I'm looking for it now as I don't know by memory. There may something there, I'm just guessing [20:10] Hello. I have a problem. My ATI Radeon Xpress 200M was working excellent with Gutsy but after upgrading to Hardy, I get a black freeze everytime i try to activate the restricted drivers. Can someone please help me? [20:10] i need help enabling my wireless network anybody? [20:10] if smartmontools tells me my harddrive is dieing of old age, how likely is it those readings are wrong?

[20:11] artheros [20:11] <`Matir> chaser__, depends on the readings you're looking at... if it's age attributes, those don't indicate an immediate failure risk [20:11] KDB9000: I've looked but I found nothing. All related to pdf seem to be about printing pages to pdf [20:11] Gnea: I've just been told that his router sees his computer in dhcp clients, it can see his MAC address, but he can't connect to internet [20:12] <`Matir> chaser__, I've been through a few failures. If you can post 'smartctl -a /dev/XXX' for the drive on a pastebin, I'd be happy to look and give you my opinion (though I am by no means a hard drive expert) [20:12] `Matir: almost all the readings say old age [20:12] I can't install "virtualbox-ose-modules-generic cause apt-get tells me that it depends on virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-20-generic but this is not installable [20:12] carandraug: I tried that before and got "svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions." [20:12] k [20:12] where may I find install instructions for Edubuntu 8.04 LTSP? [20:12] dear all, good day. [20:12] chaser__: SMART stuff is all done by the drive, and merely reported by the OS. So your drive thinks its old. [20:12] <`Matir> chaser__, could be that your drive passes bogus values for the baselines [20:12] hola!!! [20:13] Fazer: can he connect his computer directly to internet without the router? [20:13] leo_rockway: are you doing it in a tty?

Can't confirm it [20:14] carandraug: maybe I have to kill X first... I'll try later [20:14] so, the audio out stopped working on my laptop (a macbook) and my desktop (an amd64 machine) at the same time last week. Did something crazy recently change in the sound system in 8.04, or am I just going insane? [20:14] jesus_christoffe: where does it say that it's UNCLAIMED? [20:14] where may I find install instruction for Edubuntu 8.04? [20:14] `Matir: i used a other command but i think it tells you what you want to know [20:14] carandraug: yeah, I figured that would be a problem.

Yesterday only the ones related to OpenSuSe changed. The others were intact [20:23] Fazer: o.O probably not lol [20:24] holy shit [20:24] hi all , good day. I would like to install kubuntu . Is it possible for me to install kubuntu online.. ? [20:24] jesus_christoffe: and do not swear. [20:24] CyberWolf: search by name and definition [20:24] how i can install eclipse-SDK-3.3-linux-gtk.tar.gz [20:24] how do I clean up and get rid of old kernels [20:24] please [20:24] i searched by name its not there...not as limewire anyways [20:24] `Matir: how do I tell what package installed ath_pci.ko ? [20:24] kemik: http://www.kubuntu.org [20:24] ???? [20:24] kemik: the easiest way to install kubuntu is to download and create a live CD [20:25] anyone? how do I clean up and get rid of old kernels [20:25] carandraug, yes its strange if i see it correctly, all have changed except one [20:25] thank you skarface. [20:25] what kind of video capture software exists for ubuntu that has similar functionality to something like windows media recorder? i can't find anything immediately either in synaptic or via google. essentially i'm looking for something that will allow me make videos, nothing more complicated than anything that would go on youtube. [20:25] <`Matir> CarlFK, dpkg-query -S ath_pci.ko [20:25] how do I clean up and get rid of old kernels [20:25] aestrivex: make videos of what? your screen? [20:26] kalkan: you sure you didn't format them by accident when installing OpenSuSe? Have you mounted and make sure they're ok? [20:26] leo_rockaway: no, from my webcam and microphone [20:26] Is Eclipse a good IDE for C/C++ programming? or does someone know a better solution? [20:26] carandraug, i have formatted only one partition, thet the root is for opensuse [20:26] aestrivex: oo... no idea then, sorry [20:26] Hello. I have a problem. My ATI Radeon Xpress 200M was working excellent with Gutsy but after upgrading to Hardy, I get a black freeze everytime i try to activate the restricted drivers. Can someone please help me? [20:26] CyberWolf: I don't find it as well. Did you install it from the repositories? [20:26] how do I clean up and get rid of old kernels [20:26] humm [20:26] `Matir: dpkg: *ath_pci.ko* not found. [20:26] what is a good video player? want something like zoomplayer for windows [20:26] ?? [20:27] carandraug, in opensuse they are not mounted at all [20:27] Bruners, mplayer/vlc [20:27] or better said, gmplayer [20:27] fograven: old kernels are automatically removed. you only have the current and previous kernel. if you ever have kernel problems you'll appreciate having the last one. [20:27] I cannot get the drivers installed for my Netgear WG311v3 Wireless PCI card, could some help please? [20:27] `Matir: I have a theory: "http://people.ubuntu.com/~smb/bug254668 Can you install this" [20:27] Bruners: best players for Linux are mplayer and.. can't remeember the name for the other but it' something in the line of vnc player [20:28] !players [20:28] vlc media player [20:28] xbxb, i hear anjuta is pretty good for C/C++ development [20:28] `Matir: but that is a .26 kernel, so still not sure how ath_pci got there [20:28] Cannot play media, think it may be a driver issue, but cant's seem to work it out... [20:28] tried using VLC player, and the same problem persists [20:28] carandraug, i always have this problem after installation suse after ubuntu [20:28] <`Matir> CarlFK: you sure you did a capital S? [20:29] kalkan: if you didn't change anything else I think their uuid should stay the same. Anyway, you'll have to fix fstab [20:29] so there are none with a fancy GUI like zoomplayer got? [20:29] ryon_m1, http://www.jimbo7.com/wiki/index.php?title=WG311v3 [20:29] unop: thanks [20:29] `Matir: carl@dv67:/lib/modules/2.6.27-1-generic/volatile$ dpkg-query -S ath_pci.ko [20:29] How do I remove all of Kubuntu except for some apps such as K3B and Konversation, so I only have Ubuntu left and the few KDE apps [20:29] Bruners, gmplayer and vlc have a good gui [20:29] !puregnome | SebNaitsabes : adapt this, maybe [20:29] bot is dead [20:30] SebNaitsabes: to remove all kubuntu sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop then install those apps you need manually [20:30] how do you update to newer versions of things like blender and gimp and games? [20:30] I need some help with Apache2 on my Ubuntu Lamp Server. Can anyone give me a couple of minutes help [20:30] How do I choose a "server" to run Ubuntu on? I need to buy one for my boss. [20:30] carandraug, ok, could you please explain me how to identify partitions new uuids? [20:30] fograven: you wait until they reach the repos or you compile theem [20:30] leo_rockway: you sure it's just as simple as that? [20:30] leo_rockway: that just removes the meta-package... it won't remove anything real. [20:30] Bruners: in my opinion th best GUI for mplayer is smplayer. But there's lots of them [20:30] leo_rockway, kubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage - removing it does nothing really [20:30] zaggy-n1| that page wont load [20:30] skarface, unop: boo, how about kde-core ? [20:31] anyone experienced this before at boot my screen says PXE 61 MEdia Test Failure PXE MOF Check Cable [20:31] ? === jaguarandi_ is now known as jaguarandi [20:31] naggy-n1| it did this time. [20:31] leo_rockway: that will probably get more/most/maybe all of it ;) [20:31] does anyone know of any software that monitors and informs you immediately of someone trying to hack you.. [20:31] kalkan: sure. you'll need the output of "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/" [20:31] i just checked my logs and over the last few days theres thousands of attempts [20:31] SebNaitsabes: kde-core is probably the package you need to remove then [20:31] what is PXE 61 MEDIA TEST FAILURE ? [20:32] ryon_m1, top on using IRC client, type zag and then hit tab, it will autocomplete [20:32] *tip [20:32] intangir: do you really want to be told every time one of those thousands of attempts happens? what will you do about it? :) [20:32] PXE sounds like a network boot loader issue [20:32] skarface: lol good point [20:32] Hi everyone! Any expert around who can help me put to disc a video made on a handycam. I'm going round in circles and can't manae to do it!!!! [20:32] is there one that will tell me when new attempts start from a new IP? [20:32] fograven: yup, no problem [20:32] hi [20:32] cause out of the thousand there were only 5 IPs [20:32] McAfee17, your computer is trying to boot through the network and since u pbbly dont have servers setup it fails, long story short something is wrong with your harddrive [20:32] McAfee17: it means your box is trying to boot from th3e lan, and no cable is plugged in [20:32] intangir: yeah probably russian or chinese [20:32] SebNaitsabes: www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome is the link the bot would have sent you, if it wasn't dead. [20:33] chinese, indian, italian, US and unknown.. [20:33] I'm using the Mobile Intel® 915GM Express Chipset for my graphics and I'm curious whether I would see increased performance with proprietary drivers [20:33] prince_jammys: ok thanks [20:33] leo_rockway, kde-core appears to be a metapackage too [20:33] intangir: define "hack" [20:33] unop: darn! [20:33] how i can install eclipse-SDK-3.3-linux-gtk.tar.gz does now anyone [20:33] intangir: what I do is use hosts.allow and hosts.deny to setup only those ip ranges I use [20:33] kalkan: the numbers at the end, in blue are the UUID for each partition [20:33] leo_rockway: i was checking sshd login failures [20:33] intangir: cuts that to nothing [20:33] Does anyone know how to make a Video DVD please???? Which program to use etc., [20:33] unop: who wants to remove kde anyway, it's awesome : ) [20:33] Joseph, theres no proprietary drivers for i915 [20:33] USSER: & INTANGIR: thanks ya'll i do have the bios set to look for a LAN Boot first that'd explain my problem =D [20:33] leo_rockway, the best way is via the link prince_jammys just pasted [20:33] I <3 ya'll!! [20:33] <`Matir> CarlFK, weird [20:33] you always fix my problems [20:33] !pm > fograven [20:34] skarface: it still logs failures even if its impossible tyo log in as that user apparently though [20:34] leo_rockway, well, you like kde - i can think of atleast two people here who don't :) [20:34] fograven: just mention that person's name on the main channel [20:34] this is what ubuntu is all about, that and the fact that its free [20:34] like i have root login disabled and there were a ton of failed root logins [20:34] intangir: yeah but if they can't connect there's no failure [20:34] <`Matir> CarlFK, on mine it finds that ath_pci.ko is given by linux-restricted-modules-KERNEL_VERSION [20:34] intangir: hosts.deny will block them from even attempting to login [20:34] i wonder if the people are coming from IRC? [20:34] unop: crazy people! haha. but yeah, I <3 kde [20:34] or just random [20:34] !pm > leo_rockaway thanks [20:34] intangir: not likely. just random. they're probably not "people" so much as bots that look for vulnerable systems. [20:34] i heard there was a massive security flaw with ssl a few months back [20:34] `Matir: what k vers? [20:35] another quicky, why won't my computer hibernate? when i click the button it goes into standby and never rly turns off [20:35] ssh [20:35] <_zenon_> Hi! I get a consistent error message whenever is use apt-get! E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libghc6-hgl-dev_3.2.0.0-1_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 [20:35] Hello I have a Wacom tablet that was working a couple days ago, not refuses to work, could any tell me what the problem might be? [20:35] fograven: use tab to autocomplete nicks [20:35] intangir: that's already been repaired hasn' [20:35] <_zenon_> This package won't go away [20:35] t it ? [20:35] intangir: look up hosts.allow/hosts.deny and set those up and you'll be happier. [20:35] prince_jammys: well that's a long command to run, well i'll do that on the other computer later or tommorow [20:35] McAfee17: what video card? [20:35] McAfee17: so they say, but the keys you generated during that period are still vulnerable [20:35] ??????????????? [20:35] carandraug: thanks, smplayer looks good :) [20:35] prince_jammys: thanks again [20:36] skarface: is it only used for sshd? or also other servers? [20:36] cause i run a webserver [20:36] leo_rockway: mobile intel graphics media accelerator x3100 [20:36] <_zenon_> Someone knows how to get rid of the package? [20:36] intangir: they manage access to ports [20:36] <_zenon_> The error is:: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libghc6-hgl-dev_3.2.0.0-1_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 [20:36] Can anyone help me to make a DVD video please? [20:36] SebNaitsabes: welcome. yeah, it removes a lot of stuff [20:36] intangir: that sounds like the DNS thing that was going on too [20:36] intangir: or services, like sshd. but can also be used to block ftp or whatever else. [20:36] McAfee17: what DNS thing? [20:36] tab? [20:36] <`Matir> CarlFK, I have it in all 2.6.22 and 2.6.24 packages that I have installed... I still have a few older kernels [20:36] McAfee17: mmhh... i was going to say that an ati card might be the reason for hibernate not working... other than that idk [20:36] not working [20:36] well guys I'm back [20:37] I tried to make ubuntu work [20:37] carandraug, ok, sorry these are ok, butcould you please tell me how does grub work, if i boot from suse's grub, does it run ubuntu kernel directly, or ubuntu's grub? why it doesnt mount partitions automaticly for ubuntu? [20:37] fograven: the tab key [20:37] but I had another error using the alternate install [20:37] how does postgresql compare to a multivalue database? [20:37] you setup those ssh/ssl keys and think your pretty much 100% secure ;) [20:37] anyone able to help? [20:37] fograven: you start typing a nickname then hit the tab key [20:37] how can i change the size of the icons on the desktop without changing the resolution? [20:37] <_zenon_> No one has had this problem? [20:37] but then you find out theres onl 32k possible keys.. and you were probably vulnerable.. [20:37] not cool [20:37] pff [20:37] anyone lpease help [20:37] please* [20:37] `Matir: that's expected. ath_pci got replaced by an open source version: ath5k - thus my quest to find where ath_pci is lurking because it should probably be removed [20:37] intangir: dns only lets you generate so many numbers if you do something sorta like a DDOS then you cna trick servers into reusing old keys or something like that, CNET's BOL did a big podcast on it === pwnt is now known as Xully [20:37] Abztrakt23: what error? [20:38] intangir: 32k ought to be enough for everyone :P [20:38] lol [20:38] leo [20:38] well the alternate install told me it was unable to mount the install cd - rom [20:38] <`Matir> CarlFK, are you running Intrepid? [20:38] fograven: what's your irc client anyway? [20:38] `Matir: yes [20:38] tried the Vbox channel and no good. so on the other computer I installed XP in my account there in Virtualbox VM, but I want another acount/user to be able to access the same XP VM, but it's not in there Virtualbox of course. how do I sort that out? [20:38] leo_rockway: it means someone only has to guess 32k max possible keys, the most likely were under 1000 keys [20:38] how can i change the size of the icons on the desktop without changing the resolution? [20:38] I tried several times with no luck [20:38] and they can get decode what your sending, or even log in as you === nick__ is now known as nich^ [20:38] what kind of video capture software exists for ubuntu that has similar functionality to something like windows media recorder? i can't find anything immediately either in synaptic or via google. essentially i'm looking for something that will allow me make videos, nothing more complicated than anything that would go on youtube. [20:38] Having problems with a wacom tablet, it was working, now is not, anyone able to help? [20:38] intangir: exactly [20:39] well I'm using pidgin [20:39] intangir: I was "quoting" gates: 640k ought to be enough for everyone [20:39] anybody here bought/used/comment on those dell inspiron's with ubuntu preloaded? [20:39] <_zenon_> It's really messing things up [20:39] bad? [20:39] intangir: did you see my explanation on the whole DNS thing? [20:39] leo_rockway: oh good one ;) [20:39] kalkan: grub has nothing to do with mounting the partitions. grub's menu.lst file points to different kernels in each entrance. So, it will point to OpenSuSe kernel when you chosse OpenSuSe and to Ubuntu kernel when you choose Ubuntu. And each one will look to its own fstab [20:39] <_zenon_> I can't install new things without this error ruining everything [20:39] McAfee17: ya but i dont really understand [20:39] they're pretty cheap so i'm considering buying one [20:39] fograven: oh, idk if pidgin has tab autocomplete... it should, tho [20:39] intangir: i'll see if i can find the podcast link [20:39] McAfee17: cool [20:39] iintangir: it was a few episodes back [20:39] rwaite, My friend is planning to buy one. [20:40] is it safe to use hibernate with hardware fakeraid (dmraid)? [20:40] Having problems with a wacom tablet, it was working, now is not, anyone able to help? [20:40] is there a good IRC list that you know of? [20:40] intangir: the alternate install told me it was unable to mount the install cd - rom [20:40] I have not used it in so long [20:40] can't beat 549 for a pretty nicely spec'd laptop [20:40] Abztrakt23: so you cant even run the installer [20:40] with all linux friendly hw :) [20:40] rwaite, Indeed. [20:40] <`Matir> rwaite: what laptop is 549 nicely specd with linux hw? [20:41] rwaite: is it a compaq? [20:41] `Matir, Dell has those ubuntu preloads [20:41] ms.eu [20:41] intel wireless, intel gfx [20:41] rwaite, In a way it's a bit scary because they are selling it as almost a "Cheaper alternative" so many people may think Ubuntu to be a lesser OS. [20:41] <`Matir> Tarandus, so long as /boot and your swap aren't on the fakeraid, I would think so... I use dm-crypt filesystem with no problem, and it's a fairly similar implementation. [20:41] i mean i've never been a fan of dell, really. but hey. i'll give it a go. [20:41] rwaite: i bought a 549 dollar compaq laptop for my wife, a scanline went out already [20:42] hi, i am installed Ubuntu in my acer 5720 (replacing win32), and i have a trouble, the fan of chassis is not working (just work in the boot moment, after stop), how can i activate the fan ? the machine is shutdowning without a previously warning, and i think that is because the heat not disipatd [20:42] intangir: here's the link, http://www.cnet.com/8301-11455_1-10010246-10.html [20:42] enjoy i love that show [20:42] what kind of video capture software exists for ubuntu that has similar functionality to something like windows media recorder? i can't find anything immediately either in synaptic or via google. essentially i'm looking for something that will allow me make videos, nothing more complicated than anything that would go on youtube. [20:42] Dell puts piece of crap power supply units in their comps [20:42] Matir: both are on the fakeraid... booting from it works fine [20:42] Intel GFX suck, Rwaite. xD [20:42] meep. i bought a floor model presario from my old job for 180 dollars and it's lasted me 2 years now. using it at *least* 6 hours a day. it just recently starting making mysterious beeps [20:42] xodus, what makes u think so? [20:42] Matir: it is a RAID 1 after all [20:43] <^chaoz^> pv me plis [20:43] It seems like my computer is failing to recognize my wacom tablet... [20:43] Ictinike: it's the only one with free drivers so far [20:43] intangir? did you get the link? http://www.cnet.com/8301-11455_1-10010246-10.html [20:43] Ictinike, i disagree. the drivers are pretty nice and open source and i don't game on my computer. [20:43] McAfee17: you sure? i dont see any mention of dns [20:43] carandraug, so i dont undestand, my fstab is the same as yestarday, i only put an utf8 option to my fat32 partition [20:43] My apache2 webserver has suddenly started failing at startup with error suggesting it cannot bind to IP address:Port what should I do to fix this ? [20:43] yep scrool down a little bit [20:43] becuase i used to work for them as a system builder [20:43] oh cool, thx [20:43] rwaite/leo_rockway, I suppose. :) I didn't like the intel cards, I far prefer Nvidia. [20:43] fletc1-> make sure there are no other programs is binding to same port [20:43] <`Matir> Tarandus: I'd think you'd be fine then [20:43] intangir: it says "Blackhat 2008: dns flaw something previoulsy reported" [20:44] I need some help from anyone to try and create a DVD Video..... any offers?? [20:44] nvidia are nice, but i dont need all that power to run fluxbox with a bunch of xterms :) [20:44] <`Matir> Tarandus: basically hibernate is just a boot + saved state in swap [20:44] Ictinike: the cards are better, but nvidia refusal to provide specs and make free drivers put them on my blacklist [20:44] something= much worse than [20:44] McAfee17: thx [20:44] YW [20:44] does postgresql have maximum row lengths? [20:44] Leo_rockway, I suppose! I enjoy gaming though and intel cards can't do that. xD [20:44] anyone have any experience with ushare? i'm wondering if there's any way to get it to work with id3 tags [20:44] kalkan: if the uuid of them changed, when it tries to mount them, it will fail because it will be pointing to a partition that no longer exists [20:45] ati seems to be moving in the right direction [20:45] Anyone here familiar with wacom tablets, it seems like mine is not being recognized, when I run Wacomcpl it has no device listed. [20:45] Ictinike: I used to enjoy gaming... now I don't play anymore, idk why [20:45] <_zenon_> Jeesus christ! [20:45] thats what my 360 is for :) [20:45] http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/linux/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=210201115 [20:45] <_zenon_> Well I fixed it [20:45] <_zenon_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/haskell-hgl/+bug/202974 [20:46] intangir: it does run the installer but it gets stuck at the point where it's supposed to mount the cd-rom [20:46] leo_rockway, :) [20:46] Where do I look up what version a package is in the respository? [20:46] Thanks amenado I am only running Ubuntu Lamp on a MS Virtual Server but as far as I can see nothing in the whole network is using IP or port numbers [20:46] s/m/p/ [20:46] Ictinike: I play openarena once a month or so, other than that... no gaming. (I have an ATI card, btw) [20:47] Brandon_: apt-cache show packagename [20:47] thanks [20:47] anyone have any idea what nvidias next gen card is gonna be gtx 300? [20:47] somebody please help me [20:47] Brandon_: it will give you a lot of information on the package... version included [20:47] I really need help [20:48] Abztrakt23: could be a bad CD burn? or a bad CD player, or just poorly supported [20:48] so what can I do? [20:48] Abztrakt23: but basically its hardware [20:48] I have 2 cd roms [20:48] about Christian Marillat's packages: ( http://debian-multimedia.org/ ): what version (stable, testing, etc ) is the best to compile and install on KUbuntu 7.10 ? [20:48] Abztrakt23: If you can't get it to work at all, use the minimal CD. It will download packages from the internet instead of getting them from the CD. [20:48] carandraug, but they have not changed sorry, i missed [20:48] leo_rockway. Ah. :) I'm poping a 1 gig dual slot 8800gt. It's decent. [20:48] Abztrakt23: try the disk on another machine? or try another cd rom [20:48] Is there a way to install the latest version of a package using aptitude? Like pulling from an experimental repo or something? Or what is the usual way of doing this on Ubuntu? [20:48] ok I'll try the minimal cd [20:48] Abztrakt23: oh ya what Flannel said might be a good try [20:48] mika_video: You'd have to check the version numbers of the depends, etc. [20:48] Abztrakt23: did you do a md5sum check? [20:48] no [20:48] how do I do that? [20:49] man md5sum [20:49] mika_video: you shouldn't really use debian repositories. Use medibuntu for stuff like that [20:49] Abztrakt23: Check the ISO (md5) and also do the CD integrity check from the boot menu of the CD [20:49] Hello folks! I'm trying to make a VNC connection work tunneling it through SSH, my SSH works fine, but when it comes to vnc I can't get to connect the server. First I run ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@server, and then I try to connect the vnc server (vino) from my client in other computer but it doesn't connect. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? [20:49] thank you. meet again soon. [20:49] Ictinike: decent? that's... holy molly! [20:50] leo_rockway, I clocked WoW running in wine at 78 with highest settings at 1650x1050. In wine. xD [20:50] Does someone has first impressions about ubuntu 8.10 alpha 4? [20:50] mgun: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions [20:50] I have just installed dvd author thru synaptic and can't find it in applications. Does anyone no why??? [20:50] carandraug, fstab looks the same uuids like ls -lF/dev/disk/by-uuid/ except suse partition, but they are not automounted [20:50] krim: there is "proposed" but nothing really fancy is in there. it's not like debian unstable/experimental [20:50] kalkan: if they kept the same uuid and you haven't changed the file since yesterday, they should be working. Could you pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/" and "less /etc/fstab" ? [20:50] krim: the usual way is to wait six months for the next release. [20:51] Ictinike: wine actually makes a lot of things run faster :) [20:51] DavidCanarias: if you installed the dvdauthor package, it runs in a terminal [20:51] is there a package for xcb-utils in ubuntu? I need to have the xcb-aux tool on my box [20:51] Ictinike: you don't have all the heavyweight windoze apps slowing you down [20:51] lleo_rockway, wine makes Opengl apps run fast, and slows down DirectX apps. [20:51] I'm having trouble with my laptop's touchpad - it seems very slow, and I'm not sure how to fix it. Can somebody help me please? [20:51] hi jrib....... I went into the terminal and was told it was installed. I then went to applications and sound and video and can't findit [20:51] carandraug, [20:51] Ictinike: yeah, you are right [20:51] Flannel: since you answered that, is it possible to use Ibex repositories to install only a specific package? [20:52] Leo_rockway, yes but Directx apps are about half as fast as they should be. :) Guild Wars only hits 45. [20:52] can i pm you for a sec? [20:52] DavidCanarias: it is not a GUI application. It's command-line [20:52] CyberWolf: yes [20:52] DavidCanarias: try running it out of the terminal [20:52] I'm having trouble with my laptop's touchpad - it seems very slow, and I'm not sure how to fix it. Can somebody help me please? [20:52] thanks jrib and aestrivex, but how do I run it thru the terminal?? [20:52] who wants to see a video of a drunk squirel ;) [20:53] DavidCanarias: read 'man dvdauthor'. If you want a gui, it seems there is qdvdauthor [20:53] why is comcast such a nazi company...always have to encrypt stuff for torrents [20:53] xodus: please take that elsewhere [20:53] xodus: i also have comcast [20:53] sorry jrib I am a newbie and don't understand??' Can you clarify please? [20:54] DavidCanarias: install the qdvdauthor package if you want a graphical interface [20:54] carandraug: depends on the package, but theoretically it may work, yes. And apt provides a number of methods for doing that, although I'd suggest just downloading the deb manually, that'll be safest as far as breakage on future upgrades etc are concerned (you won't wake up tomorrow and accidentally update and have it break your system) [20:55] I tried installing Kubuntu earlier, and when it loads it just drops to the console, is this normal?? [20:55] badkitty: no [20:55] Flannel: ok. I see. I've done that before using Debian's repositories in Ubuntu. The way you answered made me thought that maybe that was not possible with Ibex. Thanks [20:55] Flannel, why would it drop to the console? [20:56] badkitty: what sort of console? just a regular console? [20:56] Yup === rudy_ is now known as Guest53716 [20:56] badkitty: Well, try and install the kubuntu-desktop package (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop) [20:56] Flannel, I even tried safe graphics mode and that just turned my monitors off [20:57] carandraug, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41338/ , http://paste.ubuntu.com/41339/ === juro is now known as Guest94904 [20:57] DavidCanarias: you open a terminal window first, then you can enter "man dvdauthor", read that, type 'q' to lev and then you enter "dvdauthor" [20:57] badkitty: Er, so you're getting to kdm, but when you log in, you get a console? [20:57] s/lev/leave/ [20:57] well keep on ubuntuing [20:58] see ya around [20:58] Flannel, No during the install process after the loading bar fills up it drops to the console. Im trying to install 0710 so I can add linuxmce on top of it, so I don't think I can just install the kde-desktop packages [20:58] guntbert - thanks will try [20:58] badkitty: Ah, this is during an install! Which CD are you using? Desktop or alternate? [20:58] kalkan: I have to go now, sorry. I'll be back in half an hour or so. I'll help you then, ok? [20:58] package ssh seems to be missing from hardy. a fresh install does not give me putty [20:58] DavidCanarias: np [20:58] how can i change the size of the icons on the desktop without changing the resolution? [20:59] carandraug, of course, [20:59] dbrewer_rjr: putty is for windows. but ssh is installed by default, the package is ssh-client [20:59] Does anybody know how to adjust laptop touchpad sensitivity? [20:59] dbrewer_rjr: er, openssh-client [20:59] Hello folks! I'm trying to make a VNC connection work tunneling it through SSH, my SSH works fine, but when it comes to vnc I can't get to connect the server. First I run ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@server, and then I try to connect the vnc server (vino) from my client in other computer but it doesn't connect. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? [20:59] FLannel It almost positive its the dekstop version [20:59] hi. [20:59] so why can't i putty in? === Tophat is now known as Tophat-AWAYYYY [20:59] dbrewer_rjr: You need openssh-server, which putty will connect to. [20:59] hi === jl is now known as shekk [20:59] How do I know which repository a package I am going to get is from? (with synaptic) [20:59] !away > Tophat-AWAYYYY [21:00] hubar: go to the properties for that package [21:00] 0.o ? [21:00] Flannel: then? [21:00] badkitty: Try the alternate CD, it works on more hardware [21:00] flannel: thanks, i just did a fresh install, it said both of those were installed, ssh was not there, and I cannot secureCRT into the server [21:00] hubar: One of the tabs should mention it. [21:00] dbrewer_rjr: openssh-server isn't installed by default [21:01] Tophat-AWAYYYY: bot is dead, so you probably didn't get the pm [21:01] Flannel: nope. it just said its version. [21:01] badkitty: Sometimes the liveCD has issues with graphics cards or hardware, but regular installed systems work fine, alternate CD will let you install even without the liveCD [21:01] Flannel: I did an apt-get install openssh-server, it said it was done already [21:01] Flannel, does the alternate have a desktop environment? [21:01] Flannel: The thing is, I need libsqlite3-dev for apache2-dev. [21:01] badkitty: It does. It installs the same system as the desktop CD [21:02] Flannel: and libsqlite3-dev depends on libsqlite. [21:02] Flannel, ok cause I have to edit some partitions and such [21:02] Thanks Ill give it a whirl [21:02] could someone take some time to help a noob? [21:02] Flannel: But the libsqlite version on my box is higher than libsqlite3-dev. [21:02] hubar: apache2-dev doesn't exist in Ubuntu [21:02] Flannel: well, it exists, as prefork-dev and thread-dev. [21:03] hubar: apache2-prefork-dev, not apache2-dev, please be specific. [21:04] chetanska [21:04] ok. [21:04] hubar: That doesn't depend on sqlite at all. [21:04] hubar: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/apache2-prefork-dev [21:04] !ask | CyberWolf [21:05] i used a post to help me install limewire on ubuntu ( http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu#How_to_install_P2P_Gnutella_Client_.28LimeWire.29 ) but it doesnt work.....im a complete linux noob.....how do i remove it now? [21:05] CyberWolf: sudo rm -r /opt/LimeWire [21:05] Flannel: apache2-prefork-dev: [21:05] Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed [21:06] CyberWolf, tried aptitude remove? [21:06] Flannel, nothing happened [21:06] Hi everybody. Quick question: Is there a file or command I can use to duplicate the functionality of Gentoo's "world" file? [21:06] Flannel, it runs a make [21:06] PiercedWolf, huh? [21:06] CyberWolf: that means it worked. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [21:06] Flannel: and if you are trying to install libaprutil1-dev, it will ask you about sth else. [21:06] Flannel: eventually it leads to libsqlite3 [21:06] Where I can see all of the programs I have explicitly installed? [21:06] Flannel, nope,didnt work its still there [21:06] can anyone ehlp me find yout why i got no sound from my tv card please? [21:07] nesw: please don't do that.

[21:12] any one [21:12] he used the live cd he got at the computer store [21:13] Gowrav: now did you install it?

[21:20] or an additional package? === mika_videodev is now known as mika_videodev_te [21:20] maybe I should just take apart the machine and switch the positions of the two drives [21:20] peepsalot: ask -motu for new packages, and the package maintainer (or file a bug) for updates [21:20] Gowrav, if that's the case you should be able to simply remove the Ubuntu Partition and probably Grub, and you *should* be good. But you might want to make sure. I've never used windows in my life. [21:20] chetanska: or you could edit the grub menu.lst as instructed [21:20] how can I confirm the registration to nickserv ???

[21:26] Flannel, thank you. ikonia I'm building a remastered version of Ubuntu for the Aspire One, and I need to remove allot of software to save space. [21:27] hubar: Alright, your problem is you've manually installed (looks like its not from a repository) that newer version. And obviously that's not happy with it. [21:27] Gowrav: bit torrent does checking during download [21:27] about Christian Marillat's packages: ( http://debian-multimedia.org/ ): what version (stable, testing, etc ) is the best to compile and install on KUbuntu 7.10 ? [21:27] unop: well, not everything, just the things I have asked to install. Not their dependancies [21:27] gouki: You might consider going the otherway. Start with a CLI-only system and build up [21:27] hi guys [21:27] someone told me to use medibuntu? what is it? How compatible is it compared to Marillat's version ? [21:27] Having a problem with a unresponsive Wacom Tablet, here are my outputs, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41348/, can someone assist? [21:27] ikonia: i have done it before .. just downloaded iso because last one is lost .. that was also downloaded with some error and i corrected that with bittorent [21:27] !medibuntu | mika_videodev [21:27] unop: and I don't care about libwhatever-3.9 when a package I actually care about needs it [21:27] Flannel: How can I downgrade it? w/o whacking any of my software that depends on it? [21:28] mika_videodev: you should tell us exactly what you are looking for [21:28] Flannel, thought of that, but until we get more people helping out, we have to keep it less techy :P [21:28] How can i make dpkg-reconfigure traverse all package dependencies? [21:28] kalkan: I'm back. Have you solved your problem, yet? [21:28] gouki: well, it'll all be done beforehand, right? maybe I'm just misunderstanding. [21:29] I am looking for source code of Christian Marillat's multimedia (=video) libraries like: ffmpeg, libavformat, libavcodec, possibly others... [21:29] I have a question about medusa under ubuntu: are there any files (like CD/DVD tables in ophcrack)? [21:29] mika_videodevhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [21:29] Having a problem with a unresponsive Wacom Tablet, here are my outputs, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41348/, can someone assist? [21:29] Flannel, no, you're right. It's a much better approach, but since I already started working this way, I don't want to waste all the work I done. [21:29] Is there an application that fixes or shows you inconsistencies with dependencies and conflicts and helps you fix? [21:29] Thay should be compilable with KUbuntu 7.10 but it would be a plus if thay also can be compiled to be used in debian etch [21:29] Flannel: btw, ubottu broke. [21:29] how can i change the size of the icons on the desktop without changing the resolution? [21:29] hubar: if you have any software that depend on the newer version, they won't like it. But you can use pinning or a number of other ways to force the older version (which you should then remove after its installed) [21:29] I have a question about medusa under ubuntu: are there any files containing users/passwords (like CD/DVD tables in ophcrack)? [21:30] mika_videodev: you shouldn't really use debian repositories on ubuntu. Medibuntu has what you want I believe === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode[0] [21:30] Makzu, i don't know then sorry [21:30] I think [K]Ubuntu is based on debian. Why then, does the same (binary) library work in either [K]Ubuntu / debian ? [21:30] andriy, there's some packages that will give you wordlists [21:30] mika_videodev: it' not debian [21:30] Flannel: How do I force the older version to install? [21:30] andriy, i think it's named wenglish or similar [21:30] mika_videodev: based on is not the same thing as *is* [21:31] mika_videodev: yes it is *based* on debian. Some things work. Other things won't. So it's best practice to stick to ubuntu repositories [21:31] Isn't it possible to create a linux app or library that can be installed on multiple distros ? [21:31] mika_videodev: while Ubuntu shares the same package management system, it doesn't actually use the same packages (in some rare cases, it might work, but ultimately, they're done differently) === C5854547 is now known as chalcedony [21:31] mika_videodev: they all use different setups/designs so it's hard [21:31] hubar: try apt-get install -t hardy libsqlite3-0 [21:31] mika_videodev: the issue is that packages and dependencies vary [21:31] mika_videodev: that's what source code is for :) [21:31] magnetron, thank you [21:32] hubar: We can specify a version string of course, but I'd like to make it as vague as possible [21:32] andriy, maybe the package is named "wordlist" [21:32] for example, Borland Kylix3 is supported on Red Hat 7.2, AND mandrake and SuSe of the same age. With some minor tricks, it can be installed into debian sarge as well. However, debian etch is too new for it, and unless you are a linux-superguru, you will not install kylix3 on debian etch [21:33] SO can i Install UBUNTU into windows as AN APPLICATION NOW [21:33] Drk_Guy, you want to reconfigure a package and all its dependencies? [21:33] flannel: the output is one line, do you mind if I print it out here? [21:33] unop: Thanks for your help anyway :/ [21:33] Gowrav: with wubi, yes. Its sort of an application [21:33] hubar: go ahead [21:33] unop: yes, specifically, kubuntu-kde4-desktop [21:33] Having a problem with a unresponsive Wacom Tablet, here are my outputs, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41348/, can someone assist? [21:33] how do you get active synce to work on ubuntu [21:33] mika_videodev: the problem is, obviously, that borland never kept up with the development cycle. [21:33] Makzu, i'm sure there is a way, i just don't remember it [21:33] andriy, don't expect the same functionality as from ophcrack though, ophcrack doesn't use worldists but rainbow tables, so they are totally different [21:33] Flannel: libsqlite3-0 is already the newest version. [21:33] Gowrav, if you have a ubuntu CD, just pop it in while windows is running, choose wubi [21:34] Drk_Guy, sudo dpkg-reconfigure $(apt-cache depends kubuntu-kde4-desktop | awk '/Depends/{ print $2}') [21:34] carandraug, not yet [21:34] Flannel: just run the wubi on root of cd to install [21:34] But kylix3 is a good example: it should be possible to create a linux app that will install on multiple distros, in that particular case 3 are directly supported, and on debian sarge, it works too, although some minor adjustments are necessary to actually successfully use it [21:34] thx unop, but i chose to reconfigure all packages on my system ;) [21:34] Drk_Guy, actually. sudo dpkg-reconfigure kubuntu-kde4-desktop $(apt-cache depends kubuntu-kde4-desktop | awk '/Depends/{ print $2}') [21:34] would wine let me run active sync on ubuntu [21:34] hi all, i desperately try to use my soundcard working ( Creative Labs SB X-Fi xtrem Gazmer, aka the black sheep) any tuto link to configure it on Hardy please ? [21:34] thanks [21:34] carandraug, but i see there is no boot flag in my ubuntu partition, is it the problem? [21:35] What would cause udevd to use 89% proc ? [21:35] mika_videodev: keep in mind, that this was back when the number of distros was quite less than what it is today. [21:35] mika_videodev, it's all about the DEPENDECY's and VERSIONS of libraries and programs used by that SPECIFIC version of linux [21:35] kalkan: the only thing I find strange is that your ubutu partition is not bootable [21:35] Is there anyone who has a laptop hp series tx with a geforce fo 6150 that have problem to resume from suspend mode? [21:35] unop: I think the 'deborphan' command may be what I need here actually... I found it while googling around with some of the commands you gave me. :o [21:35] how to install a webcam in ubuntu 8.04 [21:35] mikefoo1: also, this is really offtopic, we should take the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [21:35] Makzu, be careful with deborphan [21:35] kalkan: exact. I see it too. It may be. It's the only thing that looks wrong to me [21:36] mika_videodev: also, this is really offtopic, we should take the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [21:36] carandraug, but it booted, is it the cause why partitions are not automounted? [21:36] OmgItsAShark, looks like no... http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=622 [21:36] mikefoo1: sorry, wrong tab :) [21:36] mika_videodev, the applications you speak of, have been tweaked and packaged, for each version of linux you speak of. any application compiled on linux, should work on any linux distrobution, but you have to tweak it and package it for each distro [21:36] What if I download the source code of either Marillat's version or medibuntu... is it possible to combine and compile all that sourcecode into two huge files: libmultimedia.so and libmultimedia.h so that the resulting 2 files can then be used in any linux distro ? [21:37] flannel: ?? [21:37] kalkan: it may be. Never happened to me before. If it's not that, I don't know what it is. [21:37] I would really like to have a little area in my gnome panel where I could enter commands [21:37] It used to be there, but now it is gone! [21:37] a [21:37] mika_videodev, NO, beacuse the dependicies on EACH linux distro and versions of python etc, are all different [21:37] hubar: alright, we're going to have to use apt pinning, with a priority of over 1000 (so, 1001) you'll have to edit /etc/apt/preferences [21:37] mika_videodev: that would be a discussion best held in #ubuntu-dev [21:37] Gnome got rid of the little command line input area. Is there any way I can get it back? [21:37] mika_videodev, you have to tweak it FOR each version, there is no magic wand to make them work on every version. [21:37] I used to be able to "Add to Panel" Command line [21:38] I think python is not needed. I believe all of those video-related libraries are written in either C or C++ [21:38] carandraug, so i make it bootable and reboot [21:38] mika_videodev, right and different distro's support different versions of C yes [21:38] on ubuntu hardy, my yahoo mail does not access the address book.. i have to type the addresses al in,, what do i need to fix? [21:38] bofh80: I did the same last time but ubuntu was installed on grub loader as dual boot system .. how can i run ubuntu like ms office [21:38] is there anything like event viewer in Ubuntu? [21:38] Flannel: I dont have that file though [21:38] kalkan: yes. Try it. Check if it's bootable once you did, just to make sure [21:38] mika_videodev: not only that, but linux distros have, in general, become quite complicated over the years - you can't just make a one-size-fits-all anymore, it simply doesn't work unless you have a decent devel team who understands the source and the distros [21:38] mika_videodev, you might be able to get away making a statically linked shared object .. though that still doesn't mean it will function and function well on all distros [21:39] flannel: /etc/apt/preferences, don't have that file. [21:39] hubar: correct, just create it. sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences [21:39] Swian, System - Administration - Log Viewer [21:39] Swian all logs are (normally) in /var/log, you can vie in real time by doing a tail -f /var/log/messages e.g [21:39] carandraug, can i do it from ubuntu? or from suse? [21:39] Gowrav, really? the last time you installed Wubi you got a boot menu selection? [21:39] Flannel: ok and? [21:39] hubar: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41351/ [21:39] hubar: make that the contents of the file [21:39] bofh80: yes [21:39] so I am wanting to set up PXE to fix a couple of laptops that won't boot from CD... I have 8.04 what do I need to install besides dhcp3-server tftpd and apache2 [21:39] ? [21:39] kalkan: you can do it frm ubuntu "sudo cfdisk" [21:39] hugs Flannel [21:39] can anyone confirm that WUBi - - - DOES NOT --- install a boot loader entry ? [21:39] Can someone explain, then, what happens if I install kylix 3 on debian sarge (reminder: borland supports only 3 distros: red hat 7.2, and SuSe and mandrake of the same age), so debian sarge is NOT directly supported [21:39] bofh80: nope, seen it do it. [21:39] bofh80: it edits boot.ini [21:39] carandraug, ok [21:39] hello can you tell me where I can choose which network card will be activate during startup ? (ubuntu 8.04) thx [21:40] Gnea, Flannel - nasty [21:40] bofh80: it doesn't install GRUB if thats what you're asking [21:40] Makzu, are you wanting to remove all packages you didn't install manually/explicitly .. or just list them? [21:40] bofh80: If memory doesn't fail me, it edits windows boot.ini [21:40] howdy chalcedony [21:40] Gowrav, ok, have you thought about running a virtual machine [21:40] So even after that can i run UBUNTU like ms office in XP bofh80 ?? [21:40] :) [21:40] Flannel: and? [21:40] Gowrav: No [21:40] unop: I'm more looking for a list of everything I've installed explicitly, not to remove anything [21:40] Gowrav, m$ have the technology - one sec, freebie [21:40] bofh80: in virtual box the kernel is killed in between .. [21:40] hubar: save, and then sudo apt-get upgrade [21:41] hubar: it should downgrade that package [21:41] Gowrav, oh i see, no good to you? [21:41] unop: so that whenever I have to reinstall ubuntu I can also reinstall that entire list in one command [21:41] just got this from amarok: "cannot talk to klauncher" [21:41] Makzu, then i dont think deborpan is the right tool [21:41] or, would I be better off trying to compile all thjat C/C++ code using Borland C++ Builder for windows instead ? (never tried to comple C/C++ code designed to run in linux to a windows .dll instead) [21:41] Flannel: or anyone: on ubuntu hardy, my yahoo mail does not access the address book.. i have to type the addresses in manually, what do i need to do to fix it? [21:41] Gowrav, kernel killed on virtualbox ? have you tested you media/iso ? [21:41] I'd like to develop a good video editor. [21:42] could anyone tell me how i would install a logitech webcam on ubuntu ? [21:42] mika_videodev: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy. Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic? [21:42] mika_videodev, i think soemone else suggest that you should take this to #ubuntu-dev and i think they are right now . .. :) [21:42] wubi just installed the complete system with the same iso [21:42] ZeroA4: wubi just installed the complete system with the same iso [21:42] unop: but ""deborphan -a"" lists every package that doesn't have something else depending on it, which is close enough to what I want [21:42] mika_videodev, /join #ubuntu-dev [21:42] Gowrav, but wubi uses diferent files! [21:42] Hmmpphh [21:42] Flannel: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41352/ [21:42] Makzu: except ubuntu-desktop makes that list a lot shorter than it should be [21:42] Should i change bash for dash? [21:43] bofh80: since you're advisng where is a better place to ask about my yahoo mail issue? [21:43] I thought about developing it for linux, but if it's next to impossible to make it to run on sevral linux distro's, it might be easier to do it for windows instead... (unless someone else is willing to take care of all that stuff to make it distro-compatible) [21:43] Flannel: I got that from sudo apt-get upgrade [21:43] ZeroA4: then how to correct iso by md5 checksum .. toren do that .. but i forgot how !! [21:43] ok [21:43] chalcedony, didn't see your problem - 1 sec i scroll up [21:43] anyone know how to get PXE working on 8.04? [21:43] !dash [21:43] mika_videodev: see if some friends might want to help you.. 'if it's good they will come' [21:43] Flannel: Heh, metapackages are fine by me, especially the ones that are there by default [21:43] Flannel: But there is no libsqlite3 in the list. That got me worried. [21:43] Gowrav, md5sum does NOT correnct anything... it just check if it is ok... if is not... you have to download again [21:44] chalcedony, i'm guessin your issue is Firefox ? have you tried to install opera, to see if the same problem? [21:44] bofh80: its opera already but i think it's doing it on both [21:44] ZeroA4: I have done this before .. corrected my last ubuntu CD by this method.. just lost it [21:44] Makzu, the way i see it -- if you create a diff between the packages installed on your setup now and that off a fresh install, you get the list of packages that need installing, does that not make sense? [21:44] hubar: that looks like regular updates. Yeah, no sqlite3-0 maybe upgrades don't trigger pins. Try sudo apt-get install --reinstall libsqlite3-0 [21:44] is there a general for general music production on linux? [21:44] channel* [21:45] chalcedony, my sister uses firefox for yahoo. no problems. but under windows. give it bash now on firefox if your not sure. . . . [21:45] Gowrav, a think you are mistaken... md5sum does not correct a bad download [21:45] Sixofour|Sleep: ubuntu studio [21:45] #ubuntu-studio? [21:45] Sixofour|Sleep: try it [21:45] no such channel [21:45] chalcedony, opera will let you lie to websites about what web browser you are running, you could try that . . . [21:45] ZeroA4: it checks where it is bad and bit torrent re download th part to correct the whole [21:45] Sixofour|Sleep: its #ubuntustudio [21:45] Flannel: The following packages will be REMOVED: [21:45] f-spot sqlite3 [21:46] hubar: Check the dependencies of sqlite3, what version does it depend on? [21:46] Gowrav, bitttorrent does it internally... no need for md5sum [21:46] can you tell me where I can choose network card which is activating during startup plz ? [21:46] Flannel: How do I do that in command line? [21:46] Gowrav, md5sum just checks... does not correct anything [21:46] then bittorent shows iso is OK [21:46] Flannel: I used to use synaptic. :) [21:47] I installed dhcp3-server but it wouldn't start up: * Starting DHCP server dhcpd3 [fail] [21:47] invoke-rc.d: initscript dhcp3-server, action "start" failed. [21:47] Gowrav, them it should boot ok in virtualbox [21:47] tarrendine: to the left of the date, on the top bar, is a little icon that you can click on for 'manual configuration' [21:47] hubar: synaptic will work fine. It'll show depends. but, apt-cache show [package] [21:47] tarrendine, you can check /etc/network/interfaces. like sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces any line that says auto eth0 (ehternet) auto wlan0 etc [21:47] ZeroA4: trying again [21:47] bofh80: that method is discouraged in ubuntu. [21:48] tarrendine, depending on what you want, you can use System > Administration > Network . . [21:48] Gowrav, where did you get ubuntu .torrent from ? [21:48] bofh80: It looks useful I will try it. :-) [21:48] ubuntu.com === yusuf_ is now known as baabs [21:48] bofh80: i don't think it needs lies.. i just seem to have mis set something .. i hope? [21:48] tarrendine, as Gnea states, the second method is better [21:48] bofh80: I want just to activate wireless card during startup instead of fastethernet. [21:48] Gowrav, ok [21:48] How can i change the label of a disk/partition? === baabs is now known as coonee [21:48] in the manual configuration I didn`t found it. [21:49] Flannel: Output is here. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41354/ [21:49] tarrendine: make sure you click to 'unlock' [21:49] tarrendine, yer, it got 'left out' sorta, if you set your ethernet to DHCP instead of roaming, you can then UNTICK it in the network panel [21:49] hubar: no no, sqlite3, not lib*3-0 [21:49] tarrendine: there should be an entry for each 'wired' connection [21:49] Flannel: oh [21:50] Gnea; I`m not BFU :-D [21:50] tarrendine, otherwise if you find and auto eth0 line in yer config, you can just put a # in front of the line, and put in auto wlan0 . if that's not already set [21:50] do i have to uninstall wine if i am about to install Cedega??? [21:50] tarrendine: excuse me? [21:50] no kcman [21:50] kcman: wipe cedega out of your disk [21:50] lol [21:50] kcman: nope, they can coexist [21:50] terrestre: what is BFU? [21:50] bofh80: it will be easier for me, usually I don`t like click-point settings :-) [21:50] so i see here there is a bug in dhcp3 or something that doesn't like static IP's [21:50] Flannel: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41357/ [21:50] Drk_Guy what do you mean wipe out of the disc? [21:51] Gnea: just the user :-) [21:51] kcman: lol, i was just joking [21:51] kcman: cedega is real trash [21:51] hubar: right, so that's the newer version too. sqlite3 is being removed because it wants 3.5, anyway... if thats all thats going ot be removeed, its easy to reinstall them afterwards. [21:51] tarrendine, sure, but they aren't just there to be pretty, sometimes, they set the config's in specific ways, and editin it manually, can cause things to get it's knickers in a twist. networkin is usually ok to edit. if you know what ya doing. [21:51] tarrendine: your attitude is not necessary. [21:51] Drk_Guy really cause right now i cant play squat on this machine with wine so i figure if that thing gives me just one good game then i will be fine and it will have been worth it [21:51] hubar: I say go with it, then reinstall f-spot and sqlite3, they'll use the versions from the repositories, and you'll be fine. [21:52] Gnea; I know my applogize [21:52] tarrendine: and i'm sorry, i didn't know what you were stuck on - you didn't say. [21:52] 4 [21:52] Flannel: Alright let me try that! :) [21:52] bofh80: In fedora it was easier, but ubuntu is better for my family :-) === Guest14027 is now known as Brucee [21:53] kcman: did you check the wine AppDB? [21:53] kcman: they have tips on how to run apps in wine [21:55] Escuse me, but how do I activate a USB headset? [21:55] It is plugged and all, but it's not giving any sound [21:56] cernex, did you reboot? [21:56] cernex: should be able to use volume control to switch to it [21:56] Drk_Guy yeah but most of the recent comments about the games i want to run are old, and do not seem to have been updated and there issues involve graphics problems which for some reason this machine is a touchy topic like there are no other drivers for intel corp mobile 945gm so i am screwed [21:56] cernex: i think the kernel should load the drivers by itself if you reboot with the headset plugged in [21:56] Yes, I did reboot several times [21:56] cernex: double-click on the volume icon [21:57] kcman: Cedega only runs EA games fine, use wine for the rest (they use dirty tricks) [21:57] Gnea: are you sure usb-audio is compiled into the ubuntu kernel? [21:58] Drk_Guy: it shouldn't be, only as a module [21:58] Drk_Guy thanks for the heads up [21:58] maybe lsusb would be a good start [21:59] Gnea, ok, I'm on the volume control [21:59] Gnea: Ok, but does kernel load modules by itself? [21:59] how do I switch? [21:59] kcman: Don't worry [21:59] Drk_Guy: no, another program helps that out. [21:59] cernex: File->Change Device [21:59] Gnea: modprobe [22:00] Gnea: sudo modprobe usb-audio [22:00] Gnea, and after that, should I restart? [22:00] Drk_Guy: modprobe is the manual method. [22:00] I think it's called like that [22:00] cernex: no need. [22:00] Drk_Guy thanks for the help i am going to reboot to help install i am sure i will be back [22:00] cernex: just select the device and make sure the USB Headphones are not muted [22:01] be sure that the volume is up to something that you can hear. [22:01] cernex: do you want all sound output to go to the headphones? [22:01] Gnea, sure [22:02] Gnea: but it works [22:02] cernex: then you'll need to System->Preferences->Sound and tell it what device to use for various playback methods :) [22:02] Drk_Guy: indeed [22:02] flannel: so far so good! I guess it is okay :) Thank you for all the help sir! [22:02] the rt kernel is restricted to open source stuff only correct? I have an nvidia card that I need to be running correwctly but would like to install all ubuntustudio packages [22:03] hubar: Once its all working, go ahead and delete that preferences file [22:03] Gnea: lol, anyways, auto-detecting everything kills the performance :( [22:03] Drk_Guy: only until what's detected it cemented in place ;) [22:03] Flannel: Will do. Btw, is there a command option to do the "spinning"? [22:04] hubar: spinning? === Makar[gone] is now known as Makar [22:04] * Makar returns at: 04:03pm From: School [22:04] other channels: #medibuntu - nobody chats there, all are just idling, #ubuntu-devel (redirected from #ubuntu-dev): "this channel is for the development of Ubuntu, not really developing *with* Ubunt"... so where to next, then ? [22:04] hey guys, how do i tell my terminal to go to a specific folder to set tar gz permission? [22:04] Gnea: profiling? [22:04] mika_videodev: #ubuntu-offtopic [22:04] Makar: please turn that off. === Makar is now known as `Makar [22:04] Drk_Guy: sure [22:05] <`Makar> >.> [22:05] Flannel: What you use to refer to the preferences file again? apt spinning or sth like that. [22:05] Gnea, weird, it still isn't playing [22:05] `Makar: the away/return messages - they don't need to be made public. [22:05] I think it needs a reboot [22:05] Gnea: i think it's an argument to the kernel, is it profile?

[22:07] cernex: hrm, try rebooting it now [22:07] Hey, I just tried to rotate my desktop to the right under 'Screen Resolution' to get portrait mode and it didn't work properly. Now I can't get anything on my desktop, just a cursor. I'd like to change it back to how it was. Where can I find the xrandr settings in the console? [22:07] whats the kernel parameter to make the text 80x50? (already got rid of "quiet splash", but that gives me 80x25, and I need more lines) === XLV is now known as Guest88972 === XLV_ is now known as XLV [22:11] the rt kernel is restricted to open source stuff only correct? I have an nvidia card that I need to be running correwctly but would like to install all ubuntustudio packages [22:11] anyone here running hardy on an MBP? [22:11] it's only getting to the boot screen one in 10-15 attempts === Dragon is now known as Dragon_ [22:12] before I bother asking the actual question; is anyone here familiar with the ati fglrx video driver stuff on hardy? [22:13] /server disconnect [22:13] Can anyone help translate what the following error means please ? Internal error on browser end: Pipe closed during read? [22:13] Hi, I've recently installed via Wubi and I was wondering if and how I can access files from my Windows installation? [22:13] asedelst: Just ask the question [22:13] asedelst: I played with it and found it dissapointing [22:13] !seen causeitsme [22:13] ok [22:13] !seen causeitsme? [22:14] Can anyone help me debug a program please? [22:15] stat_cs_: Ubotu doesn't do seen anymore ( and you should do that type of thing in a /msg to ubotu so you don't clutter up the channel ) [22:15] so I've had some major problems with it. I had it working on my t60p (mobility firegl5250)... where i could use it, compiz fusion under aiglx, in 1680x1050 (my flatpanel's res) on both screens or 1400x1050 on both screens [22:15] Jordan_U, I see. It was just doing it 2 days ago. [22:15] prior i had it working out of the box with both, and had used virtual so i could get 3080x1050 extended [22:16] ubottu's dead at the moment [22:16] My terminal tells me to debug my program, run it with the --sync command line? How do I do that????? [22:16] DavidCanarias: programname --sync === moosud is now known as moosus [22:16] while trying to get extended with fglrx on i had little luck , and mucked something up [22:16] qr I presume I have to enter the termina and type in ????? [22:17] DavidCanarias: indeed you do [22:17] asedelst: did you add fglrx to /etc/modules? [22:17] now i cant even get a reasonable resolution on the screen with the fglrx [22:17] add to /etc/modules? [22:17] qr the error was BadWindow so do I type in Badwindow --sync [22:18] favro: not an instruction I've ever been familiar with; I used synaptic and the restricted-driver manager [22:18] asedelst: Are you sure that you are actually using fglrx currently ( if it won't load it may default back to vesa ) [22:18] DavidCanarias: no you use the name of your program's executable. [22:18] I'm not on fglrx currently im on vesa [22:18] asedelst: every howto says to do that - everyone I read [22:18] qr program executable???? don't understand [22:18] asedelst: I would look in that file [22:18] favro: i have yet to read one doc ANYWHERE that says to manually do anything to /etc/modules === Dopppp is now known as Doppp [22:18] hi [22:19] asedelst: You should not have to, X should do that [22:19] I installed newest ubuntu on windows xp x64 and now I cannot reinstall o uninstall it. [22:19] Jordan_U: when i used to do an lsmod it would show fglrx either way [22:19] and ubuntu itself goes to command line and that's it [22:19] DavidCanarias: a program is an executable file, as in a file with commands for your computer, you need to type the name of that file then --sync [22:19] DavidCanarias: what program are you trying to run [22:20] hmmk: Did you use the windows installer? [22:20] I was using Firefox [22:20] Gnea, Nope, still not working [22:20] Gnea, Funny thing is, I plugged my old speakers back [22:20] jordan: i restar5ted, and used dpkg reconfig -phigh or whatever it says to regenerate my xorg conf [22:20] DavidCanarias: so it was firefox that crashed? [22:20] Gnea, (they don't work, BTW) [22:20] yes [22:20] asedelst: That will disable fglrx [22:20] Gnea, and even with the whole "headset" configuration, they still play sound [22:21] jordan: aware, but it raised me to a question; even before i downloaded the restricted driver; is the default to use vesa? [22:21] /dev/sdc1 /media/Storage ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_CA.UTF-8 0 0 ------ What do I change "defaults" to in order to have the mount work better? I forget what it was, it was something with 0 0 0 after it or something...anyone know? [22:21] Jordan - yes, the one called wubi [22:21] qr I typed into the terminal firefox --sync and up came the firefox web broswer [22:21] asedelst: Before you install fglrx you are going to be using either "ati" or vesa [22:22] DavidCanarias: that's what it's supposed to do. ( debugging is generally not an automatic thing, you need to know what your are doing ) [22:22] I found uninstall-ubuntu.exe , but it doesn't execute (no error message, just pops on task menager for a milisecond and dissaperrs from it) [22:22] hmmk: Then you can remove Ubuntu from windows with Add / Remove Programs [22:22] same [22:22] cernex, don't want to but in, but have you ran lsusb or dmesg on a terminal to see if they are being picked up properly? [22:23] and the same thing happens when I try to install it again (namely, nothing happens) [22:23] jordan: that's what i thought; just wasnt sure exactly what the open source module was called [22:23] qr - thanks, it seems I don't know what I am doing......?? [22:23] bofh80, no [22:23] bofh80, and all help is appreciated, don't worry [22:23] bofh80, should I run those? [22:23] cernex, run lsusb in a terminal, see if your headset is listed [22:23] DavidCanarias: That's not meant as a disparagement, it's unlikely many people really know what they're doing when it comes to debugging firefox. (outside of the devs themselves that is) [22:23] jordan: do I set "ati" as the driver in xorg.conf for that? [22:23] cernex, you got a lot plugged into usb sockets? [22:24] this kid of suc,s because it seems to me like it's a windows issue more than ubuntu issue. [22:24] bofh80, yes [22:24] DavidCanarias: debugging a program usually requires some pretty specialized knowledge about the particular program [22:24] asedelst: BTW, your posts to me will only be highlighted in my client if you use my full nick ( use tab completion ) [22:24] cernex, well when you run it, pastebin the output if you can't identify the headset in the list [22:24] oh [22:24] Nevermind it is umask=000 - thanks for the help though [22:24] bofh80, link for pastebin, please [22:24] cernex. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [22:25] qr - thanks, I know what you mean. Most people use their computers and want them to work, like I do, but when something goes wrong it's hell!!!! [22:25] thanksl old to linux.. thanks new to irc [22:25] how do you install gnome ppp [22:25] asedelst: Yes, to use the open source ati driver set your xorg.conf to use Driver "ati" [22:25] qr by doing what I did, did this deb the program? [22:25] bofh80, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41365/plain/ === XLV is now known as Guest79482 [22:25] Jordan_U: I'm going to retry that again; though I had poor luck last time. That should use dri and support aiglx right? === XLV_ is now known as XLV [22:26] cernex, cool. ok can you pastebin the output of dmesg as well ? [22:26] qr - sorry I meant debug [22:26] asedelst: It depends on your card [22:26] figured as much :-) [22:27] DavidCanarias: debugging is a process, not something you do with a single command. If debugging was just a command then all programs would ship with a --no-bugs option. [22:27] cernex, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=714045 [22:27] i'm sorry the question but my sound is really to low here when i'm using linux. in the same machine whith microsoft windows the sound is very more hight and this don't happed to me in the last ubuntu vertion only in this new ... someone knows how can i fix thi?! [22:27] Jordan_U: i'll be back; thanks for the help so far [22:27] bofh80, it is quite big [22:27] asedelst: np [22:27] !aptana [22:27] DavidCanarias: --sync probably just makes the debugging process simpler if you already know what you're doing. [22:27] I'll paste everything the Terminal shows [22:27] Anyone know the site for the aptana studio community edition eclipse plugin? [22:28] cernex, don't worry about the dmesg [22:28] cernex, check the link posted, he has link on second post to a fix [22:28] qr - OK. Can I read anywhere about how to debug a program? [22:28] d0lphin_n0el: Make sure that all of the levels are turned up, you can do this by running "alsamixer" in a terminal [22:28] nevermind I found it: http://www.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Plugging_Aptana_into_an_existing_Eclipse_configuration [22:29] DavidCanarias: You can read about debuggers, like gdb for example, which are programs that you can use to watch other programs execute. Apart from that debugging is really just: "know what the program is supposed to do" "watch it do something else" "figure out why" ... in a general sense anyway. [22:29] Theaxiom: i don't think non-ops are allowed to add stuff to the bot, anyway. [22:30] ubott1: It's in the repos, just install it via synaptic or "sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp" [22:30] DavidCanarias: it usually requires you know a good deal about the internal workings of the program you are trying to debug [22:30] bofh80, also... [22:30] carandraug, it is ok now! [22:30] qr many thanks for your help.... ciao [22:30] DavidCanarias: cheers [22:30] not in synaptic but I'll try sudo [22:31] bofh80, I think just purchasing a new set of speakers is "nicer" per se... [22:31] Jordan_U it looks it is working thank you very much for you help and you time bless be it :) [22:31] hmm.. what terminal command lets me remove files from folder, without removing folder?, sorry for noob q :D [22:31] kalkan: glad. I was worried that it was tooking you so long. I thought I had screwed something [22:31] hello, i am wondering if there is a way to turn off my osd on my laptop for when i mute my volume [22:31] Is it possible to turn off the on screen displays of volume, brightness, etc?

[22:32] I'm receiving a "syntax error near unexpected token" message when running a simple script-- what would cause this?

[22:34] Hi, my laptop's touchpad is slow and unresponsive. How can I fix this? [22:34] carandraug, no, its good, but i have checked suse too.

[22:34] I'm gonna install a GUI on my Ubuntu fileserver so that it can also be used by people who don't have command line knowledge and need to eddit documents, etc. (Ya, I know a GUI on a server...) I happen to like the AmaroK media player. My question is this: should I install KDE or gnome (note: all the people that will use it are either windows or linux users) [22:34] Pici: woops, wrong channel.... [22:34] srry [22:34] hey, a friend of mine added dns server address to /etc/resolv/conf and has internet now, but each time he restarts the system this address is removed [22:34] duiu: i suggest xfce [22:34] last week I wanted to cpoy something from desktop to a samba share. I cut out the items on the desktop and tried to paste them on a mounted samba share within nautilus. There was an error message...and all items on the desktop were deleted :( [22:35] duiu: matter of preference. [22:35] Hmmm, so no way to disable the OSD of wifi and sound under Gnome? :( [22:35] Whitor you on here? [22:35] kalkan: you're welcome. Maybe the fact it wasn't bootable meant it couldn't make some actions like automount at boot [22:35] Jordan_U: looks like that much worked [22:35] tried using the sudo command to get gnome ppp no luck. Message said package not fount [22:36] Jordan_U: should lsmod still only find "video" tho? [22:36] Hey guys. Anyone be able to help me out? I'm having issues getting my SATA drives to mount. [22:36] hi [22:36] ubott1: gnome-ppp is in the universe repository. check if you have it enabled. [22:36] Jordan_U: in any event; I guess the next thing I need to do is try to enable dri [22:37] can i use cp command to copy a file viewing the status of copying? (the % or the Byte residual and copyed)? [22:37] Fazer: You should add a line to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf in the following format (no ', of course): 'prepend-domain-name-servers xx.xx.xx.xx;' where xx.xx.xx.xx is the dns server ip [22:37] carandraug, but its strange it could be booted at all [22:37] Gandalf84: nope, use rsync [22:37] Pici: I'll try that [22:38] does anyone know a lot about ipods [22:38] ubott1: in the administration menu, "software properties", and make sure "universe" is checked. [22:38] I've been using an Ubuntu live cd for the past few days and want to save my preferences. Is that possible? I want to have the same programs and files when I boot into the cd. I have a thumb drive to use if that is possible. [22:38] kalkan: yeah. I always thought it had to be bootable but it never happened to me not having it bootable. Maybe it means something slightly different [22:39] is there any software for multi-person video chat in linux? [22:39] there is some command for the shell to copy files and seeing the % status of the operation? [22:39] Gandalf84: yes, I just told you it [22:39] when i am trying to configure my DHCP3-server i get: /etc/default/dhcp3-server: 3: subnet: not found [22:39] Hi.

Done [22:54] E: Couldn't find package gnome-ppp Prince Jammys this is what I'm getting [22:54] hey, i have switched to the new ubuntu today. is there a way to get pidgin to display to "typing-keyboard-gif" when a buddy is typing? [22:54] cernex: maybe now it's another menu. That could be in 7.04 or even before that since it already doesn't exist in 7.10 [22:54] sorry, i got disconnected from wireless so i'll ask again: is there a way to make network manager connect to multiple networks simultaneously? [22:54] carandraug, ok, so now I have to find that menu to change the default sound card, huh? [22:55] ganymede_: do you mean 2 wireless networks, two wired networks, or a wired and a wireless network ? [22:55] ubott1: what version of ubuntu? hardy? [22:55] Pici: it didn't work [22:55] Jordan_U: cool; i got the fglrx driver working; and aiglx is working too... only problem is that xrandr is reporting a resolution of 1400x1050 as max [22:55] Fazer: How so? [22:55] xubuntu 6.06 lts [22:55] and only reports one display [22:56] student: 2 wireless networks [22:56] cernex: but if it has to be one of those options, I would say it's "pistas predeterminadas del mezclador" because it's the only one that asks you to choose a device. And predeterminado almost means default [22:56] ubott1: please use my full nickname, or i don't get highlighted. type the first few letters of my nickname, and then the tab key to auto-complete the name. [22:56] ok [22:56] Pici: his dns server is still removed after restart [22:56] carandraug, if he's in the sound menu, does he see the sound events etc, that all say AUTODETECT [22:57] Fazer: Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf (you can sanitize the dns server address if you feel you need to) [22:57] ganymede_: i dont think so if you only have one wireless card, but if you have two wireless cards, then maybe... [22:57] ubott1: it is probably because you are running 6.06. gnome-ppp shows up in universe for hardy (8.04) [22:57] carandraug, in that sound menu, can't you see drop down boxes, that you acn select the USB in ? [22:57] cernex: bofh80: then all should be "detectado automaticamente" or somehting like that [22:58] Pici: he has already had "#prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;" so I told him to add your line under that without a "#" symbol === mgs is now known as mgs` [22:58] prince _jammys so is there a way to get it or do I need to do updates to get [22:58] bofh80: no. In my version, there's no drop down box to choose anything with USB [22:58] Fazer: With a different ip address, correct? [22:58] carandraug, sure, but he has it plugged in - so it should be in the list . . [22:58] ubott1: i don't know. ask the channel, someone might know. [22:58] carandraug, as c-media or somit, who knows . [22:58] Pici: I'll ask him [22:59] bofh80: oh. Ok [22:59] prince _jammys thanx for your help though [22:59] cernex: what's the options you have in the dropw down boxes? [22:59] ubott1: gnome-ppp is is un dapper in the universe repo, what architecture are you running under? === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [22:59] ubott1: welcome. and remember, you can tab complete. try typing this: prin [22:59] carandraug, , the next options appear to me on the section you told me: "C-Media USB HEadset Set (Alsa Mixer)", "HDA VIA VT82xx" and "Generic 1106 ID 1708" [23:00] pici xubuntu [23:00] The second one is Alsa Mixer, and the third one is OSS Mixer, BTW [23:00] Jordan_U: you still there? [23:00] cernex, how many drop down boxes are there for you? can you set them all the c-media thing? [23:00] cernex: that's probably the one then. The C-Media USB one [23:00] ubott1: What does uname -m report? [23:00] cernex, do you have the test button there too? what's test in spanish :) [23:01] Pici: your pc architecture [23:01] bofh80, "prueba" [23:01] bofh80, And yes, there is one [23:01] pici what do you mean [23:01] bofh80: prueba [23:01] fogobogo: I know that, I want to know ubott1's arch [23:01] bofh80, the link you gave me said I should restart first, though [23:01] Pici: we went through the steps to enable universe. perhaps he didn't "save" from software properties? [23:01] Pici: e.g. i686 or x86_64 [23:01] ubott1: can you open a terminal and type uname -m [23:01] cernex, you should be able to flip it to it and hit test and see if anything happens? [23:01] Pici: sorry my bad [23:01] fogobogo: no problems [23:01] student: then maybe is it possible to create multiple network interfaces, e.g. ath0, ath1, ath2,... from a single atheros wireless card? [23:01] cernex, ok but test first, we might not need that config edited [23:01] pici yeah hang on [23:02] bofh80, nothing [23:02] bofh80, no sound [23:02] student: i know with ethernet cards, this is possible, and virtualization programs use it to allow both guest and host to connect [23:02] pici 1686 [23:02] cernex, ok well leave them all set to c-media, and see what happens when you restart :. [23:02] bofh80, and actually, I can only set the "C.Media" in ONE [23:02] bofh80, all the others are in "automatic detection" (or something like that) [23:02] cernex, oh well. lol. well restart :) [23:03] prince_jammys: Do you know how he added universe? [23:03] bofh80, and one is set to ALSA sound... "Sound capture" [23:03] cernex, i can change all mine from auto detect [23:03] Ok, lemme restart [23:03] Pici: http://pastebin.com/m44d07f51 [23:03] bofh80, yes, but none of the auto detection change to "C-Media" thing [23:03] cernex: leave that one has "C.Media" and set all other to "deteccio automatica" or something like that. They should read the default in those cases I say [23:03] Fazer: You need a semicolon at the end of the line; [23:03] Pici: software-properties, from the menu. [23:03] Pici I clicked on every box that had source and binary with universe [23:04] cernex, i see. cool. oh nice one carandraug good to know to :) [23:04] Ok, lemme restart and I'll see what happens [23:04] is the nvidia driver broke in the latest Intrepid ? [23:04] ubott1: did you 'sudo apt-get update' ? [23:04] bofh80: I'm not sure. But it makes sense that way. [23:04] Pici: pl [23:04] damned usb headsets [23:04] i wonder if there is any unofficial package repository that has latest versions of apps like pidgin [23:04] Pici: ok [23:04] i'm looking into ppa.launchpad.net [23:04] prince_jammys: no let me try that [23:04] there is /ubuntu-bleedingedge [23:04] can anyone give me a hint as to how to set up one network interface to have 2 name Ie one.mydomain and two.mydomain [23:04] yao_ziyuan: try getdeb.com or whatever it is [23:05] yao_ziyuan: it has teh latest version of pidgin and a bunch of other software [23:05] we really do need to get a repo for things that update frequently (wine, clamav virus definitions, pidgin, etc) [23:06] mrtubby: just have the 2 names mapped to the same IP address [23:06] wine has its own repo [23:06] student: virus definitions have nothing todo with the repo afaik [23:06] what is in http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop/ ? [23:06] mrtubby: it has nothing to do with the interface [23:06] student: you can try their own repositories. There's one for wine but not for pidgin. Pidgin only releases binaries for Red Hat, OpenSuSe and some other [23:06] seems to be a workshop for ubuntu-desktop [23:07] prince_jammys: doesn't that command update the whole computer [23:07] ubott1: no [23:07] yao_ziyuan: some developers use ppas to test packages [23:07] fogobogo: true, but it would be cool to update virus definitions through a repo suited for that purpose [23:07] prince_jammys: its doing something stand by [23:07] ubott1: it updates the repositories that apt will get packages from. [23:08] is it safe to upgrade packages with http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bleedingedge/ ? [23:08] student: you can try Debian unstable repositories or convert pidgin rpm to deb with alien [23:08] prince_jammys: ok gotcha sorry not a linux wiz yet [23:08] student: so you mean like now. [23:09] i installed ubuntu to /dev/sda2 and now get grub error 17. /dev/sda1 has windows on it... grub finds stage1 on hd0,1 and I even tried re-installing grub to hd0 and still no go.... suggestions? [23:10] fogobogo: oh? this is news to me, what repo is that? [23:11] student: the virus definitions come from their own server . the virus def. only server .you can check where the update address is heading to. its not a ubuntu repo. [23:11] carandraug, he aint back yet, you reckon that's a good sign or a bad sign. heheheh [23:11] hi [23:11] student: so there it is. you special dedicated virus definitions server. [23:11] prince_jammys: I guess its still updating no message yet [23:12] where can I download command propmt to work with 8.04 [23:12] bofh80: I can see someone not coming back for both reasons. He may already be entertained [23:12] carandraug, yer, or he's bashing his tft with his usb headset [23:12] bofh80, no, still no sound [23:13] kon [23:13] bofh80, I don't think those were the right instructions [23:13] cernex, did you check the menu's again? [23:13] ubott1: strange. remember, sudo apt-get update should not install/remove ANYTHING. [23:13] bofh80, yes [23:13] where can I get DOS [23:13] I need to know how to extract the initramfs to /etc/initramfs-tools, so I can add md-raid support. [23:13] bofh80, C-Media Headset is were it is supposed to be... [23:14] hkl: there is dosbox [23:14] bofh80: cernex: well, the menu changed. It may be somewhere else now [23:14] fogobogo: sweet :-) [23:14] bofh80, everything else is like it should [23:14] where can you get dos box [23:14] prince_jammys: yeah its taking a while [23:14] carandraug, yeah, I think that's the most possible problem [23:14] carandraug, what menu could it be, though? [23:14] ubott1: that doesn't seem right. [23:14] bofh80: cernex: if only we knew what configuration files that options edited back then. That's unlikely to change [23:14] hkl: it should be in the repos [23:14] Dream_Team: where can you get dos box [23:15] o [23:15] menu options....(directions) === frostburn2 is now known as frostburn [23:15] ? [23:15] prince_jammys: but the computer is doing something I can hear it doing something [23:15] i am new to ubuntu [23:15] hi, how do u add a directory to a path? [23:15] ubott1: let's hope it's doing something good ;) [23:15] Dream_Team: may i help you sir? ;) [23:16] fogobogo: I don't get what he wants [23:16] does anyone know how to disable the osd built into gnome for laptop things such as mute and volume? [23:16] DOSBOx in repos??? [23:16] prince_jammys: yeah me too this is my second hard drive I am using the first one was dying on me [23:16] repositories [23:16] ubott1: did you close the 'software properties' program? if you didn't, close it. [23:16] Dream_Team: eme neiter. on the other hand i couldnt follow. [23:16] hello i set up a nfs and it's working great except that when a user makes a file that file is read only for the group, how do you get it so when someone makes a file on the nfs everyone in the group can read and write to it? [23:16] cernex, can you pastebin your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base ? [23:16] I mean it may be available in the package manager [23:16] bofh80, sure [23:17]  [23:17] how do u change the path in cmd line to add a dir [23:17] hkl: welcome to ubuntu btw. [23:17] what is the reason behind ubuntu packages not up-to-date as soon as possible? for example, pidgin is still 2.4.1 [23:17] ya thanks [23:17] yao_ziyuan: yup. testing [23:17] natnay1: Permanently or temporarily? [23:17] prince_jammys: no I didn't but I did now [23:17] natnay1-> export PATH=/addpathhere:$PATH [23:17] I am loving everey minute of this OS [23:17] bofh80, hurrmm... code, please [23:17] Jordan_U: permanent [23:18] mkdir [23:18] prince_jammys: its going now [23:18] cernex, http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:18] natnay1: Then what amenado said but add it to your ~/.profile [23:18] bofh80, no, for the terminal, I mean [23:18] cernex, cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [23:18] fogobogo: sounds reasonable [23:18] cernex: I've been all my menus and I can't see one that suits it [23:18] ubott1: good. normally apt-get reports an error when you are also running another apt program, like 'synaptic' or 'software properties' [23:18] yao_ziyuan: so so. [23:18] cernex, you can use tab to autocomplete the names [23:18] bofh80, I'm doing that, :) [23:19] where is the umbuntu BOT [23:19] yao_ziyuan Ubuntu is not a rolling release, for that you would need something like arch linux [23:19] !bot | hkl [23:19] hkl: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:19] Jordan_U: so if i want it to link to a PHP file [23:19] prince_jammys: 19 out of 27 [23:19] lol thanks [23:19] Jordan_U: thanks, could u give say an exp cmd code? [23:20] prince_jammys: 7 minutes to go [23:20] ok my real Q for the day is what copy of linux works on a [23:20] bofh80, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41376/plain/ [23:20] wish I had high speed [23:20] hello everyone [23:20] I need xfs over lvm over dm-crypt over md-raid, can anybody help me with the inird? [23:20] hello you [23:21] need some help with this error : GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080702.1)]/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to [23:21] add new CD-ROMs [23:21] how can I uninstall just about everything, then install just xubuntu-desktop (obviously ubuntu-minimal needs to be there somewhere)? [23:21] anyone familiar with that error? [23:21] askvictor: it wold me much easier to start with a minimal installation and then build up from that. [23:22] !puregnome | askvictor [23:22] askvictor: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [23:22] askvictor: otherwise you're stuck figuring out what packages you have and dont need manually (dpkg -l will list all the packages on your system) [23:22] prince_jammys: 4 mins. [23:23] Is it possible to run scp so that it won't overwrite existing files? [23:23] I was contemplating using synaptic to mark everything for removal , then unmarking ubuntu-minimal, -standard and xubuntu-desktop, but it doesn't quite want to work that way [23:24] I see a right click icon for Encrypt... yet I can't use it? o.O [23:24] askvictor: yeah that wont work [23:24] am i set to start coding for C in 7.10? is there any set up involved to get it going? [23:24] bofh80, I think I'm screwed and now I won't be able to use my headset, :/ [23:24] hi everyone [23:25] helo [23:25] cernex: you can. as long as the gcc is there [23:25] prince_jammys: ok almost done [23:25] cernex: sorry . wrong nock [23:25] fogobogo, the waht? [23:25] evening all. Does anybody have any idea why in a chat line sometimes texts appear garbled???? [23:25] fogobogo, oh [23:25] CorbinFox: you can when you have the build tools [23:25] cernex, your fine. run lspci |grep Audio in a terminal, and tell me what you audio controller is pls [23:25] What do I need to do to get encryption to work from the right click menu? [23:26] askvictor: basicaly you just need to lookup the depends of ubuntu-minimal and substract them from the installed packages list, shouldnt be too hard i guess [23:26] CorbinFox: gcc is probably the main thing. libs should be there already [23:26] cernex, i understand i think, we can try 2 more things. maybe even3 , :P but all require a reboot. [23:27] bofh80, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41377/plain/ [23:27] bofh80, and don't worry about reboors.:3 [23:27] prince_jammys: now its downloading sshould be done soon [23:28] Hello all [23:28] Is their a website somewhere where I can buy someones time to build me a few package files? [23:28] I got an external HDD - and I am having trouble mounting it correctly [23:28] Hello you [23:28] Cpudan80: what's the filesystem? [23:28] It all seems to work ok, but I can't write to the drive without sudo [23:28] It's an EXT3 drive [23:28] err partition [23:28] Does anyone have any idea why text appears garbled in some chats??? [23:28] The line from FSTAB is: /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ext3 defaults 0 0 [23:29] Cpudan80: seems fine imo. [23:29] But I wonder why I cant write to the drive? [23:29] Cpudan80: that's because it belongs to root. You'll have to chmod it [23:29] jhalstead: you could create a bounty at launchpad [23:29] Just chmod /media/sdb1 ? [23:30] Cpudan80: "chmod -R 777 /media/sdb1" I believe [23:30] Oh ok [23:30] I just pulled the most bonehead move on Linux of all time here. I accidentally uninstalled my kernel so now when I boot up I only have the option of mem test [23:30] thanks jrib... [23:30] :( [23:30] well that's not hard to do then [23:30] i installed ubuntu to /dev/sda2 and now get grub error 17. /dev/sda1 has windows on it... suggestions? [23:30] blackvd: lol.. [23:30] prince_jammys: got a error [23:30] agent: is sda2 an external drive of some sort? [23:31] Cpudan80: the 777 code means complete perfection. Whoever invented it knew a lot about using numbers about figures of speech [23:31] question, what would be the name for apache-1 package for ubuntu? [23:31] IndyGunFreak, no, all drives are internal [23:31] is this the best place to ask questions when I have a ubuntu problem? I am trying to set my local ISP to static and had success for a day but it didn't hold after a reboot. [23:31] any easy way to fix it or do I have to just reinstall? [23:31] how do i get a list of which devices are mounted on /dev ? [23:31] IndyGunFreak, /dev/sda1 has windows on it. [23:31] agent: hmm, thats weird.. i'd try booting the "other" drive first(change the sequence in your BIOS).. see if that resolves the issue. [23:31] yuri_; sudo fdisk -l (lowercase L) [23:32] nvm, i got it [23:32] blackvd: did you really erased the kernel or only the entracnce from menu.lst? [23:32] carandraug: I just didnt realize I needed to chmod the drive [23:32] did prince_jammys leave [23:32] err the mount point I guess [23:32] IndyGunFreak, i tried that, it does not work... /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc is not bootable (they do not have an os on any partition) [23:32] hello!! [23:32] bastid_raZor: nope [23:32] i love long walks on the beach [23:32] jhalstead: hmm, I don't really see anything about bounties there. Might want to try #ubuntu-motu [23:32] i love chinese food [23:32] i love ponys [23:33] !offtopic [23:33] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:33] !grub | agent then i would fllow the instructions to reinstall grub. [23:33] agent then i would fllow the instructions to reinstall grub.: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [23:33] Cpudan80: I had to do it before and had the same problem. It will change the owner of everything in there, wherever you take it now [23:33] yuri_; that will give you a listing of what is mounted and where. [23:33] pici u still here [23:33] carandraug: right, well there is nothing on the drive yet anyway - so the recursive thing didnt matter really [23:33] uruguay96: obviously you didnt save you settings. try again as sudo [23:33] yeah, I'm on launchpad now and don't see anything, again thanks for the input [23:33] well I install linux-source-headers to try and get cisco vpn client working and it screwed my system up so when I went and unisntalled all things related without paying attention >_> [23:33] bastid_raZor: i need to know where my bluetooth phone is mounted [23:34] yuri_; look at dmesg | tail [23:34] Cpudan80: also, the thing about using 777 because it means perfect completion is a joke. That's only when you're trying to interpret stupid books [23:34] IndyGunFreak, i already tried re-installing to hd0 (also checked the map file, and it maps hd0 to /dev/sda) [23:34] question, what would be the name for apache-1 package for ubuntu? [23:34] carandraug: maybe better than 666 though [23:34] agent: dunno then... [23:34] carandraug: hehe [23:34] carandraug: dont you mean 666 (i kid, i kid) [23:35] ugh I miss gentoo [23:35] bastid_raZor: it says 47.800325 ... does not give a mount point [23:35] ubott1: what error? [23:35] ppl there are usually more... 1337 [23:35] Anyone have luck installing Napster on Ubuntu? [23:35] IndyGunFreak, strange thing... i cannot even go into the grub menu via 'esc' key... it pauses for 3 seconds then gives error 17... but during pause i cannot go into the menu.... ideas? [23:35] I am in desperate need of a DAA file converter. I tried PowerISO's Linux tool but it says it's the wrong version and I need the latest and the Windows version requires registration for this large file. Any ideas? [23:35] prince_jammys: subcode 1 [23:36] Why was xmms removed from Ubuntu 8.04? That was the single most useful application ever! :-) [23:36] fogobogo: that one is almost 777. Almost the perfect completion. You can be perfect and complete but instead follow an easy route (temptention) to achieve it. That's why 666 is what it is. Other theory says it' code number for Julio Cesar [23:36] agent: yes, i gave you my idea and you told me you tried that.. you won't be able to go to the grub menu, because you'er getting a grub error, thus grub is not loading, so you won't get a menu. [23:36] student: the same I said to fogobogo . See above [23:36] hi guys I'm back once again [23:36] carandraug [23:36] IndyGunFreak, ok... thank you! [23:36] flajann, the upstream developers stopped working on it at exactly the time it would cause it to be dropped from debian and ubuntu [23:37] carandraug: maybe the meaning of the numbers needs a more asian interpretation? [23:37] Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) [23:37] how can i tell where it is mounted? [23:37] ompaul, I see. Ugly. [23:37] yuri_: type mount [23:37] carandraug: I'm usining minimal cd to install ubuntu I'm having trouble with the partition it keeps stopping saying it couldn't partition the drive (write error) [23:37] yuri_: at a terminal prompt [23:38] yuri_: Ex. /dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 type ext3 (rw) [23:38] Cpudan80: that its not a HDD its a bluetooth dongle [23:38] Cpudan80: i dont think a bluetooth dongle must be mounted. nor can it be mounted [23:38] fogobogo: I couldn't care less. Read about it once and found it interesting, that's all. 777 is complete perfection because it's 3 7's. 3 means complete (because holy ghost+father+son) and 7 means perfection (beats me why). That's what we learn in school anyway [23:38] Oh nevermind about that [23:38] I thought it was an HDD [23:39] where is this in /dev : Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) [23:39] carandraug: then lets just forget that for now. === [infi] is now known as InfiL00p [23:39] yuri_; isn't that a usb location? are you using a usb adapter? [23:40] ubott1: ask your question here in detail. i don't know how to correct that [23:40] bastid_raZor: yes, that's why i use "lsusb" but that does not tell me the /dev location [23:40] Abztrakt23: I don't know. Never happened to me before. You may have a disk problem but I don't really know [23:40] ok [23:40] yuri_; you're not going to get a /dev location.. probably a /media/disk or /media something [23:40] prince_jammys: i'll mess with gnome ppp later on I have to leave [23:41] yuri_: is it a usb device? [23:41] prince_jammys: thanks for your help [23:41] fogobogo: I just found it interesting from the literary point of view (that's why we learn it) not the religious point of view of that. But yeah, this conversation is a little offtopic [23:42] carandraug: 7 is lucky number in china. dont forget [23:42] I have a laptop with ipw2200, I played with setting it to monitor mode recently, but now I can't get it connected to my school's wifi from one specific room. Other people can, but not me. I can connect elsewhere, just not there. Any ideas on a signal boost setting or something? [23:42] heres the problem: i can see my phone's filesystem. it is mounted in /media. i want to use wammu to transfer phone contacts, but it asks me where the phone is mounted [23:43] hello, I have a Ricoh SD card reader built into my laptop, and it doesn't acknowledge any sd card being inserted. Nothing is output at all in dmesg when I insert an SD card. [23:43] I'm having partitioning problems anyone that can help me out? [23:43] yuri_: no good. first you cell phone is probably in modem mode. second its probably inaccesiable anyway. have a look at bitpim [23:44] Abztrakt23: what is the problem [23:44] fogobogo: im installing bitpim. thanks for the tip [23:44] yuri_: if you saved your contacts to a sd you can use an adapter or card reader . [23:44] fogobogo: phone doesnt have a slot [23:45] hola hay alguien que me pueda ayudar ? [23:45] bitpim [23:45] yuri_: then its likely you wont have a chance since manufacturers support for linux is somewhat. poor. [23:45] oops [23:45] yuri_: but bitpim is worth a shot [23:46] fogobogo: im actually haveing better luck with linux atm. cant find anything reliable in windows. google spits back a bunch of crap [23:46] muchon, #ubuntu-es, y no tienes que preguntar para preguntar, solo tienes que preguntar, lo siento para mi espanol, es mi idomia secundaria [23:46] muchas gracias :D [23:46] muchon, puedes comprendar me? gracias...
