[00:00] uh... [00:00] Ok well when i try certain gtk themes with transparent panels it works fine, other times not [00:00] does it have to be ubuntu specific [00:00] unop: is there any reason that my my current xorg.conf is shorter than my newly generated xorg.conf.new? [00:00] I have a script in /etc/init.d that modifies /proc/acpi/wakeup, but it doesn't take effect at startup. Anyone know why? [00:00] why not just gtk+ [00:00] what? [00:00] unop: http://pastebin.com/d33f32c03 [00:00] I tried to completely uninstall xfce, gnome, and every other desktop. I rebooted after then installed kubuntu-desktop. it failed to install certain packages, broke several, and now I can't get it uninstalled again or repair it [00:01] is there a command that list all files in a directory with their rights? -eg. r w x? [00:01] lmartin92, the ubuntu installer probably discarded the stuff that's trivial [00:01] iMind, ls -l [00:01] Whiz2: what are you trying to install? [00:01] Kubuntu [00:01] Install GCC from the repos, but it doesn't show up anywhere. How do I run it? o.o [00:01] Installed.* [00:01] devin: in a terminal [00:01] unop, thanks exactly what i searched for *thumbsup* [00:01] Whiz2: try this exactly: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop^ [00:01] I am being seriously irritated by ubuntu. Does anyone know why a network card could see the network but not join it? [00:01] unop: ok, then when I install, I need to always regen my xorg.conf.... I'll start pushing new xorg.conf into used xorg.conf [00:02] danbhfiveI want only Kubuntu, and it's default stuff (as if I did a complete full reinstall of Kubuntu from a CD) [00:02] i have an problem - Emerald Themer won't allow me to change themes... [00:02] fails [00:02] greenman: for example that the network is encrypted? [00:02] Whiz2: fails? [00:02] remoteCTRL: nope, open network. [00:02] danbhfive: I already tried that, and it fails... wouldn't be here if it worked lol [00:02] unop: but only after this config fails [00:02] greenman: or that your mac address is not free to sue that network? [00:02] remoteCTRL: although I have tried on a wep, not wpa with same results [00:02] Whiz2: how does it fail? [00:02] Whiz2: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde [00:03] remoteCTRL: the mac address is specifically allowed, but even when my network was wide-wide open it wouldn't work [00:03] danbhfive: yes it complains about konqueror not being installed and that it can't overwrite some certain file or directory... I even tried removing that file and it gave the same error [00:03] greenman: nop you have turned off encryption copmpletely? [00:03] Hi all .. I've got an hfsplus formated 1tb hd and I'm using rsync to move the date to my server (Ubuntu server headless) .. the data seems to be going very slow (USB 2.0) .. is there a faster way to copy data than strait rsync/cp/mv? [00:03] remoteCTRL: yup [00:03] cu all [00:03] m0rbid, yea, it's installed like you said but not properly configured .. do this. gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdevilspie*postinst # add this line in. set +e; set -x # then save the file and run this command again. [00:03] maximal: those were tbhe instructions I followed, so no [00:03] wanna know where I am so you can get on? :) [00:03] unop: ok [00:03] greenman: what does iwlist scan return? [00:04] Whiz2: can you pastebin the exact error? [00:04] remoteCTRL: it shows my access point [00:04] m0rbid, this time you'll get some more verbose output .. send that to the pastebin for us to see. [00:04] Whiz2: you need to pastebin the commands you are running and the complete output [00:04] how do i run the apt- mpackage manager for edgy ept... as in i think it is not supported any more? [00:04] greenman: it also shows qualitx xy/100 and packets receioved and sent [00:04] unop: ok [00:05] Varsendaggr: you need to upgrade as you no longer get security fixes. old-releases.ubuntu.com has a working repository though [00:05] danbhfive: uhh yeah but you'll have to hang on for a min === lena_19 is now known as goklagie [00:05] Hey guys, I have a new "used" computer, and it has a boot sector virus. I can't get XP, Ubuntu, or anything else to install without it crashing before installing. [00:05] jrib, thanks, [00:05] remoteCTRL: quality 47/100 [00:06] Mirth321: tried to start the live cd? [00:06] unop: I havn't looked myself at the postinst but the error he was getting was from python, have you checked that it is a shell script calling a python script and not just a python script ( in which case set +e will just cause an error ) ? [00:06] I don't see packets sent [00:06] Mirth321: have you tried to reset the CMOS etc? [00:06] remoteControl: Yes [00:06] Ninteen67Comet: Nope... I should try that [00:06] I think it has a boot sector virus === __mikem_ is now known as __mikem [00:06] That 'might' help, I've never had a virus like that .. [00:06] greenman: that shold do, have you configured the networkkard with essid and so further in the system/adminsistration/network dialog? [00:06] danbhfive: exactly what command do you want the error on? installing konqueror, or installing kubuntu-desktop? [00:07] or both? [00:07] Mirth321: and it boots with that and operates properly? [00:07] Jordan_U, however unlikely that may be, you have a point [00:07] Whiz2: if they are different, then yeah, both [00:07] remoteCTRL: Nope, not on the CD Ubuntu, I had to use my Live USB Ubuntu [00:07] m0rbid, actually, before running the command .. can you paste the contents of the file [00:07] cd also isn't working? [00:08] WiFi config question: just installed on my toshiba portege 3500. WiFi doesn't work. Configured it in sys->admin->network, but it isn't listed in ifconfig (it's eth1 according to iwconfig). And "ifconfig eth1 up" gives SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out [00:08] Correct, just crashes. [00:08] Mirth321: i doubt that that is a boot sector virus this sounds more lioke a briken southbridge... [00:08] Oh.. [00:08] Nveer dealt with those. [00:08] Never* [00:08] unop: you mean change the line from + x to -x? [00:09] remoteCTRL: everything is greyed, I'll try setting it [00:09] m0rbid, let's have a look at the file [00:09] is there any repository which includes the newest blender version (2.47)? [00:09] Mirth321: of course it can be a heat problem, or just a broken memory stone [00:09] hey all, is there a gnome gui for administrating postgreSQL? [00:09] Hrm... [00:10] Mirth321: allthough a heat problem normally turns the computer completely off and doesn't cause it to crash, have you tried the memtest that ships with ubuntu? [00:10] unop: http://pastebin.com/d2bc2436d [00:10] remoteCTRL: in the password type it doesn't give an option for no password [00:10] greenman: come again? [00:11] m0rbid, add a # in front of line #2 and add this to the next line. set -x [00:11] neXyon: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Blender [00:11] Hmm.. just changed my gstreamer-properties to X Window System (No Xv) and now Chess is actually displaying the 3D view.. although between every move the draw goes black before showing the move done, kinda like the animation disappears. But better than not being able to view it at all though. [00:11] remoteCTRL: under wireless setting in wlan0 properties there is a drop down for password type, it give two wep versions and two wpa, but I'm not using either [00:12] and run the install? [00:12] thanks Jordan_U [00:12] neXyon: np [00:12] Whiz2: ping? I think I have to go soon [00:12] Another bonus is video playback actually shows nicely in Compiz, as in when rotating cube the video don't turn into a blue panel until I "seat" it back. [00:12] Jordan_U: that's not a rep, right? you have to download the debs and install yourself, right? [00:12] br10ta10: what type of card do you have? [00:12] greenman: can't you leave that blank? or uncheck some "use password"? [00:12] Is there an equivalent to "fdisk /mbr" in Ubuntu? [00:13] maximal, good question. iwconfig mentions HERMES, but not sure that is right. [00:13] neXyon: Yes [00:13] m0rbid, yea [00:13] thx again [00:13] Mirth321: if you are really having mbr problems i suggest you use supergrub cd [00:13] unop: http://pastebin.com/d4ff65731 [00:13] alguen do brasil ai [00:13] !supergrub [00:13] br10ta10: it should show up in ifconfig [00:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about supergrub [00:14] remoteCTRL: I'll try leaving the password field blank, but there isn't a blank option in password type. [00:14] maximal, it doesn't. eth1 is listed in iwconfig, but not ifconfig. [00:14] br10ta10: is it pcmcia or an internal card? [00:14] m0rbid, did you save the file before running the command? [00:14] greenman: isn't there supposed to be a checkbox asking if that connection is encrypted? [00:14] maximal, internal [00:14] unop: yup [00:15] br10ta10: lspci should give you the type [00:15] m0rbid, it sure doesn't look like it .. verify you have [00:15] remoteCTRL: ah ha. Network seems to be working. [00:15] greenman: hehe there you go [00:15] Not sure what will happen when I get to work and need to use a wep, maybe if I use manual it will work. [00:15] danbhfive: here this should give you the info you're asking for... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/42015/ [00:16] as soon as you do it right wham bamm it works:) [00:16] unop: I did, but when I run the install again, it switches back [00:16] hi [00:16] remoteCTRL: thanks. Now I just need an easy way to find a file on a timemachine backup, I don't suppose someone has written a script or such for that... [00:16] greenman: that is an interesting question [00:16] you sure I am editing the correct file? [00:16] m0rbid, ahh .. sorry. i'm not paying enough attention here. save the file .. then run. sudo aptitude install [00:16] how are you guys [00:17] greenman: i am afraid i have no idea what a timemachine backup is, sorry... [00:17] maximal, lspci doesn't list it at all. the only "net" entry is Intel Corporation 82551QM Ethernet Controller [00:17] guys [00:17] Whiz2: try sudo apt-get clean, and then try again, and pastebin the output of this exact command: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop^ [00:17] ummm anyone here play world of warcraft in ubuntu? [00:17] i have wifi radar installed on ubuntu [00:17] which is the best 'emulator' of windows software for games? [00:17] remoteCTRL: it's OSX ;) [00:17] and i see wifi network [00:18] but i cant connect [00:18] why? [00:18] unop: do you know any decent working script to switch your wifi connections? like when you're at work and when you're at home... without having to reconfigure it manually? [00:18] bye [00:18] danbhfive: tried that already, and here is what I get http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/42016/ [00:18] does any one know how i connect to wifi network? [00:18] greenman: hehe glad to help [00:18] appears here [00:18] br10ta10_: if it is internal then I would expect it to be mini-pci and for lspci to show it [00:18] ok unop, what would you like to see. [00:18] here we go again:D [00:18] i have wifi radar [00:18] WoW geeks???? [00:18] Whiz2: what is that gain? [00:19] xupas: what does iwlist scan return? [00:19] Whiz2: *again? [00:19] danbhfive: oh whoops i gave you the wrong one [00:19] remoteCTRL [00:19] unop: That is such a simple script I am pretty sure that what you'll find from set -x is that the error is from line 5 "pycentral pkginstall gdevilspie" [00:19] xupas: yes? [00:19] how do you get the volume control on gnom? [00:19] clayg: gnome-volume-control [00:19] thanks [00:19] np [00:20] danbhfive: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/42018/ [00:20] remotectrl appears the wifi network [00:20] 1250 ppl and no one wants to help with WoW [00:20] unop: http://pastebin.com/dac2bb5a [00:20] m0rbid, the output of sudo aptitude install [00:20] is there a way to install edgy anymore? [00:20] remoteCTRL appears the network [00:20] xupas: you have a few values there like quality: xy/100 ant received packets and sent packets what does it say there? [00:20] Varsendaggr: Why would you want to? [00:21] of course there is but how [00:21] Whiz2: Im actually asking you to run a different command. Can you add the ^ to the end? It makes the command quite different. [00:21] Jordan_U, my palm intigrates really well with edgy and it got broke after that [00:21] mucho_danno: what's your problem? [00:21] danbhfive: give me the exact command again please [00:22] Whiz2: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop^ [00:22] mucho_danno: there are explicit forums on the WoW topic, you need to read thru it ALL [00:22] well i have tried all options and forum ideas to get wow playing in wine but it flashes during play... [00:22] remotectrl Quality: 76/100 Signal level:-47 dbm [00:22] m0rbid, does this give you anything? which pycentral [00:22] Varsendaggr: You realize that edgy doesn't get any updates anymore, including security, and that it contains a very serious ssl vulnerability [00:22] mucho_danno: Ech PC is different, [00:22] maximal, http://pastebin.com/d21cceae4 I don't think I'm missing it, am I? [00:22] /usr/bin/pycentral [00:22] mucho_danno: ah i remember... well it is a quite special problem i agree with morbid [00:23] what is ssl? [00:23] secure socket layer [00:23] oh [00:23] xupas have you configured the essid and such already in system/administration/network? [00:23] Varsendaggr: secure socket layer, its the basis of pretty much all network security including ssh [00:23] any ideas on how to go about it?? or if it's a graphics card related?? [00:23] mucho_danno: google Wow Ubuntu [00:23] AND READ [00:23] Varsendaggr: Does your palm sync with Dapper? [00:24] Varsendaggr: secure socket layer that is an encryption [00:24] i did... still not helpin [00:24] then you need to ask in the forums [00:24] i am to slow [00:24] yea i'll head there then.. [00:24] thanks [00:24] br10ta10_: no it looks like it is just an ethernet card [00:24] np [00:24] !main | xupas [00:24] xupas: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:24] Jordan_U, possibly, ohh dapper is LTS [00:24] remotectrl no [00:24] remotectrl how to doo it friend? [00:25] xupas: no that wasn't it:D i wanted to say lets stay here [00:25] Whiz2: well, I gota go, hope that does something for ya. Repost if it doesn't. Someone else may have some other ideas [00:25] remoteCTRL i have installed wifi radar [00:25] xupas: where are you from my friend? === lostsync_ is now known as lostsync [00:25] maximal, hmm. it should be there. WindowsXP can see it. Do I need to install a driver before I can even see it in lspci?? [00:25] remoteCTRL im from Portugal [00:25] remoteCTRL XD [00:26] danbhfive: it looks like it *might* be working now... what difference does the ^ make at the end? [00:26] xupas: greez to the sun and the atlantic ocean then [00:26] Leefmc: What's up? [00:26] Whiz2: its a shortcut to some sort of tasksel thing [00:26] br10ta10_: no, the driver should load automatically - I was just going to suggest looking for it [00:26] remoteCTRL ya you right :) [00:26] m0rbid, ok. i'm hoping reinstalling pycentral solves this. cd ~/Desktop && wget -q http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-central/python-central_0.6.5ubuntu1_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i python-central_0.6.5ubuntu1_all.deb [00:26] Flannel: You familiar with mod_rewrite at all? I've got the normal stack working but ive spent the last hour or two fighting rewrite heh. [00:26] xupas: well as i said go to system/administration/network and edit the preferences of the wireless connection [00:26] remoteCTRL can you say me how to connect this shit lool [00:26] Flannel: This is the kind of stuff i liked about xampp ;P [00:26] danbhfive: if it fails, i'll give you the entire output in a paste [00:26] br10ta10_: I just found this on the forums - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304217#4 [00:27] !ohmy | xupas [00:27] xupas: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:27] Flannel: I've tried more solutions than i can count heh, nothing has worked so far [00:27] Leefmc: Apache is apache, regardless of its xampp or lamp. Rewrite works just fine by default. [00:27] KevinO sorry pall [00:27] xupas: well you can fiy it but you will need two things: your brain and a little patience [00:27] danbhfive: does that also work to uninstall desktops as well? [00:27] remoteCTRL shure ... [00:27] remoteCTRL, you mean you want something that can automatically switch networks? [00:27] Flannel: Heh, say that if you want, but currently i am having trouble getting it to work on the standard stack ;P [00:27] alguien sabe como hacer para que funcionen las tildes y la egne? [00:27] Leefmc: hmmm, alright, maybe you need to enable it first, but after that... [00:28] br10ta10_: you could see if an orinoco driver is loaded - lsmod | grep orinoco [00:28] Flannel: Just like everything though, by design, it all works out of the box with xampp hehe ;) [00:28] !locale | Dark_passenger [00:28] Dark_passenger: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [00:28] unop: that would be really great! [00:28] remoteCTRL i think i miss something [00:28] Leefmc: Did you enable rewrite? [00:28] Flannel: Already enabled (via the enable command) [00:28] !es | Dark_passenger [00:28] Dark_passenger: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:28] xupas: what is it? [00:28] sorry about that [00:28] Flannel: Yup, and i've spent the last hour or two trying the hundred hacks i've dugg up on the internet heh. [00:28] remoteCTRL the driver of wireless card is working, i can scan for the network but i can have internet [00:29] Flannel: Im about burned out :) [00:29] Leefmc: Hacks aren't necessary. You did a2enmod rewrite, right? and then restarted apache? [00:29] remoteCTRL i cant have ip i think [00:29] Flannel: Yes yes. [00:29] xupas: you have a menu in your task bar there it says system, if you click on it you see administration, then there goes network and in there you can edit the properties of the wireless connection [00:29] remoteCTRL, i am not aware of any .. and personally, i don't like the idea of your wireless networks being switched over automatically [00:29] Leefmc: And then what? [00:29] Whiz2: no, and I don't think it would make sense to either. I think there is an ubotu factoid that can help with that. I always use gtkorphan myself, to get rid of the extra files. Just make just to hibernate any programs you want, and also kubuntu-desktop and linux-generic [00:29] Anyone know of an easier way of navigating a timemachine backup? gui would be nice... [00:29] Flannel: Eh? Nothing, no rewrite seen by drupal :) [00:29] br10ta10_: and try lsmod | grep hermes [00:30] wols_: It seems that since the error is in pkg.read_version_info that likely nothing was actually modified / installed as far as pycentral is concerned and that therefore it would be safe exit the postinst script without doing anything if the package is just going to be removed anyway and I am guessing that the commands after line 5 will fail without line 5 running successfully , but I don't want to suggest just exiting withou [00:30] t a second opinion [00:30] Flannel: The other hacks i've been trying mostly involve adding lines to the various config files of apache [00:30] i get this when i try to install any packages http://pastebin.com/d315068c1 [00:30] Leefmc: Alright, well, first lets make sure its not just drupal being stupid. in /var/www we're going to make .htaccess and try it out [00:30] danbhfive: sorry it failed... here is the output from beginning to end on that command http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/42021/ [00:30] Flannel: A bit of this, etc, http://drupal.org/node/134439 [00:30] Leefmc: Don't do that. [00:30] maximal, yeah, there is something there: hermes 8448 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco [00:30] how do i resolve this without restarting [00:30] Flannel: Too late ;P [00:30] remotectrl not work [00:30] Leefmc: If something isn't working that should be working, trying a "hack" is the wrong thing to do. [00:31] unop: umm, maybe i wasn't specific enuff, atm you need to manually change the settings of that connection each time you come home or you go to work. nice would be something that i click on, choose from my customised connections and then connect to it [00:31] Flannel: Heh, well i didnt know the right thing, so i did what i could find on the internet heh.. cant blame a man :p [00:31] Leefmc: Shotgun debugging, in most cases, is only good at breaking things. [00:31] Jordan_U, while your suggestion will surely provide a workaround .. it does not address the problem [00:31] unop: please say there is something out there [00:31] Flannel: vs what? [00:31] Whiz2: have you tried removing kio-unmount wrapper? or whatever its called? [00:31] remoteCTRL, doesn't the network manager already do that? [00:31] Leefmc: You should ask someone who may know. Either here, or in #apache. [00:31] br10ta10_: that's good, the driver loaded then [00:32] Flannel: Heh, did, but i didnt feel like spamming :) [00:32] danbhfive: no but I can try [00:32] xupas: hombre you need to be more specific i can't work with it no trabajo [00:32] anyway [00:32] remoteCTRL, i don't use gnome currently -- but i remember it doing something like it [00:32] Leefmc: shotgun debugging vs actual debugging (shotgun debugging would be "lets change this! nope, lets change this! nope, lets change this! nope" [00:32] unop: you mean all by itself?? [00:32] can't get my flashdrive to be bootable. I've carefully followed http://www.ryancloke.com/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-live-usb-how-to/ but my laptop just keeps rebooting when the USB is in and the desktop machine hangs immediately after POST. [00:32] Greetings... I'm having a brain malfunction... can someone please tell me the apt-get for the gui for the server edition? [00:32] and suggestions? [00:33] LeeBee: Which GUI? [00:33] *any [00:33] LeeBee: That is, which GUI would you like? the server edition doesn't come with one by default. [00:33] I need to put the gui on the server edition of Heron [00:33] remoteCTRL i see the network here but i cant connect [00:33] remoteCTRL, no, you select (or right click) the little icon in the notification area .. it lists the network available, you choose which one [00:33] Flannel: Well shotgun debugging is about the only thing the uneducated can do heh, unless i spend hours and hours learning the ins and outs, but for time comparisons i usually have more luck with shotgun hehe :) [00:33] !usb [00:33] remoteCTRL, or something along those lines [00:33] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:33] Whiz2: honestly, I really have to go, my last suggestion is to separate your /home to a dedicated partition, and do a clean install. Its easier than trying to piece through this, and all your settings are saved (unless you run server apps, but if you do, you gota handle that : P ) [00:33] Flannel: I rarely have time to sit down with a good book ;) [00:33] !home > Whiz2 [00:33] Whiz2, please see my private message [00:33] unop: oh man i thank you i gotta look into that asap [00:34] Leefmc: You'll spend more time (and break more things that you wont notice until something else isn't working) doing shotgun debugging vs actually figuring out whats causing it to not work. [00:34] Whiz2: take care [00:34] Flannel: Heh, i'll pick up a book next time :p. [00:34] xupas: you need to click on the unlock button in the network dialog [00:34] Leefmc: No need to get a book, but read the actual apache docs, etc. [00:34] how do i pull a trash to the desktop?

[00:37] maximal, oh. that would be bad. [00:37] LeeBee: and what would you actually admin with webmin? [00:38] or do you admin the server locally via a browser? [00:38] LeeBee: Webmin does have a web interface, and also, webmin isn't supported because its bad. [00:38] can someone help with a basic ubuntu question?

It is possible to have a USB stick that just can't boot? Because I've booted both these machines from an IDE drive on a USB adapter before no trouble at all, but from my new memory stick neither will boot [00:44] remoteCTRL my network dont have password no WEP [00:44] also I've booted my laptop off my mp3 player set up as a USB bootable device in the past [00:45] xupas but it as an essid have you entered that? [00:45] ya [00:45] say SMC [00:45] 'cos if this memory stick can't be used for booting it's going back to the store on Monday [00:46] ian_: your question was a bit vague. You really didn't need anyone who knew about openGL, just WoW and Wine. Best to be direct and upfront with the questions, so people can help quicker. [00:46] xupas: then you click ok or close or what ever and after that you have no connection? [00:46] can someone help me I dual boot ubuntu and win xp. I am having problems booting win xp [00:46] br10ta10_: i'm running out of ideas, try searching the ubuntu forums. If you can't get a native driver working then you can always try the Windows driver through ndiswrapper. [00:47] remoteCTRL ya you are right no connection [00:47] Ubuntu777: what kind of problems? [00:48] xupas: what does ifconfig return? [00:48] can anyone tell me how to get sed to replace a blank line with nothing? [00:48] xupas: how many connections and what names? eth= wlan= etc...? [00:48] so that i remove blank lines from the stream? i tried s/^$// but it just leaves the blank lines. [00:48] When I boot to win xp it starts to load then it shows a black screen [00:48] amavisd-new vs mailscanner, i have used mailscanner before, how does it compare with amavisd any suggestions? [00:48] maximal, thanks so much for helping me out. i really appreciate it. [00:49] I have a dell xps m1330 running gutsy, and I was trying to set up dual monitors and got myself in a bit of a bind. i installed nvidia settings, then tried to run it, that prompted me to run nvidia-xconfig and then restart the x server, so i did cntrl+alt+backspace and then on restart it booted in low graphics mode and asked me to configure my monitors. i just want to restore my xorg file to... [00:49] ...the back up, but i'm not sure which back up to use. I did ls -l and it says xorg.conf was modified an hour ago, then xorg.conf.1, then xorg.conf.backup, then xorg.conf.failsafe, then xorg.conf.failsafe.bak (most recently modified). should i go with xorg.conf.1? can anyone advise? i'll be so grateful : ) [00:49] Ubuntu777: by starts to load you mean you see a progress bar from windows? [00:49] ironfroggy_: sed '/^$/d' [00:49] ironfroggy_, sed does not understand the concept of newlines as it works with single lines only by default .. the newlines are discarded before your s/// gets a chance to operate on the line [00:49] Bhavesh: if you are looking for a really nice mailscanner, my personal favourite is maia [00:49] br10ta10_: no problem, I hope I pointed you in the right direction. wifi can be difficult to get working. [00:50] ...... [00:50] so [00:50] ironfroggy_, err, pay no attention to that - i misread [00:50] 1 [00:50] sorry my son is typing, and he is 2 [00:50] yes [00:50] prince_jammys: trying that i get errors that its unterminated [00:50] remoteCTRL i will look into it.. i have [00:50] .a+ 80 [00:50] wait i did it wrong [00:50] thanks! [00:50] ironfroggy_: :) [00:51] Bhavesh: you can personalize your selection rules and train your own rules and it has a really nice web frontend to configure your settings [00:51] one other question.. can i get sed to take multiple patterns? im piping through sed three times right now! [00:51] lauren4667: well, worst case is you try the wrong one and have to try the other one...

[00:53] Bhavesh: http://www.maiamailguard.com/maia/wiki/AboutMaia [00:53] Flannel: hmm, ok i'm such a comman line newbie, though, that it's a bit anxiety producing.. eg, if i do cp ... xorg.conf and i pick the wrong one? [00:53] ironfroggy_: What do you mean multiple patterns? [00:53] I was wondering if anyone knew why my connection stalls when downloading files from the ubuntu server in the other room (ubuntu to ubuntu) using both http and scp [00:53] Flannel, pattern1|pattern2|pattern3|etc :) [00:54] whats the besT AV softwarto detetct window virus for files while they are still on a ubunutu box ????? [00:54] Guest77048: well does it work or what? [00:54] lauren4667: Well, copy the current xorg.conf to xorg.conf.broken (so we can technically come back to it if we want) and then cp xorg.conf.we-want-to-try xorg.conf, and try it, and then if that doesn't work, cp xorg.conf.we-want-to-try-now xorg.conf, etc. [00:54] Guest77048: btw you can rename youreself to xupas now again [00:54] remoteCTRL what you want to i tell you ? [00:54] Guest77048: the output from ifconfig [00:54] remoteCTRL im in ifconfig [00:54] lauren4667: but if I had to guess, yes, from what you said .conf.1 sounds like your best bet [00:55] whats the besT AV softwarto detetct window virus for files while they are still on a ubunutu box ????? [00:55] remoteCTRL but the outpout is big [00:55] Guest77048: what network connections does it list? like th0 wlan=, etc...? [00:55] DannyG: try clamav [00:55] eth0 wlan0 [00:55] DannyG [00:56] can it be that unregistered people can not talk to the channel anymore?

I have tried re installing with no luck [00:57] unregistered [00:57] Guest77048: dhclient wlan0 returns what?

[00:57] remoteCTRL not appears dhclient [00:57] Flannel: ok, that helps :) to copy xorg.conf to xorg.conf.broken use cp? cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.broken ? [00:58] lauren4667: cp source destination, yes [00:58] pretender: Does it have a config file like ~/.mandvd that you can delete? [00:58] Guest77048: put a sudo infront of it [00:58] I will have a look now Jordan_U [00:59] Flannel: has the floodbot muted somebody for some period of time and just lifted it again?

I am having problems booting win xp it tells me win did not start properly then I choose start normally then it shows progress bar then it goes to a black screen [01:09] Norrz: alright, the a b c (hda hdb hdc, etc) are the disk numbers, a is the first, b second etc. In GRUB-speak, we're zero indexed, so hda is hd0, hdb is hd1, etc. As for partitions, hda1 is hd0,0 (because we're zero based), hda2 is hd0,1, etc. [01:10] Norrz: If you only have one partition, how are you dual booting? [01:10] Ubuntu777: which is definitely a windows problem, you can try to run the windows cd and choose repair from the dialog [01:11] Ubuntu777: if you are lucky that fixes it for you [01:11] Flannel. No I have 2 partitions. One is for windows, the other is for my data. When I first intsalled Ubuntu, I did partition a disk for it, but on the installation It didn't read it! and I didn't know how to deal with it, so I have been told to free some space, and choose the option to install on the most free space.

[01:13] remoteCTRL in iwlist what you want? [01:13] hotmonkeyluv: Just disable gdm from starting, upstart doesn't really have runlevels [01:13] hotmonkeyluv: runlevels 2-5 are identical. What do you actually want to do? [01:13] Norrz: Its entirely likely that windows won't see ext3 partitions [01:13] Jordan_U, heh [01:13] ? [01:13] Flannel. Aha I see, well I don't know much about these stuff ;) so excuse my iggnorance. [01:13] Guest77048: all of it pastet on www.nopaste.org [01:14] :p [01:14] Norrz: that's fine.

[01:14] jrib: yeah, tried that, 45 times [01:15] Flannel: thanks [01:15] Norrz: did you overwrite Ubuntu with windows then? or are you sure all of your partitions are still there? If you fire up a liveCD, you should be able to see all three. [01:15] hotmonkeyluv: so you need to tell the channel what happened... [01:15] hey all, i'm trying to mount a usb drive through bash cuz it's not working automatically, it says error invalid mount option.... can anyone help?

And uh? last question ( new ubuntu user here ) - it more likely that you have to reinsatll your OS like in Windows? that dies after 2/3 months :P. [01:18] so why is it possible to use cp from the command line and give the filename (since it has spaces) in quotation marks but not in a script - those seem to require an escape character instead [01:18] ubuntu.. simply the best [01:18] buahhaha, show us your script.; [01:18] Norrz: No, you won't need to. I've been running a single ubuntu install for over two years now.

[01:21] flannel: hmm, i just tried sudo cp xorg.conf.1 xorg.conf and restarted X but to no avail, still started up in low graphics mode and gave me the config prompt. I'll try some others. quikc question though, when i ran sudo cp xorg.conf.1 xorg.conf it didn't ask for my password.. is that because i had just cd'd as sudo? [01:21] or did it not work? === kody is now known as chanbot2 [01:22] Jorden_U: Yea, Im loged on in gnome [01:22] lauren4667: well, cping with sudo doesn't do anything (or at least, not anything useful) [01:22] remoteCTRL ya i see [01:22] lauren4667: but yes, sudo caches the password for five minutes [01:22] remoteCTRL after its 70% [01:22] lauren4667: it's because you had just used sudo [01:22] lauren4667, it worked if it didn't return any errors === chanbot2 is now known as chanbot3 [01:22] Guest77048: ESSID:off/any is off/any really the name of your network man? look i told you before you need to use your brains man...

[01:24] lauren4667: just cd with... regular permissions. sudo does *one* command, so "sudo cp /whereever" will change directories, and then exit, and you'll be back in your same directory. [01:24] is this game zday fun? [01:24] Jorden_U: As far as I know when I log in its vea gnome... and Ive not played around with different things to draw my windows [01:24] -_- [01:24] guys!

[01:26] you can't cd with sudo anyway, not without invoking a shell [01:26] lauren4667: yes, sudo cp file1 file2 works fine. [01:26] Flannel, sudo cd /somewhere will fail [01:26] unop: Indeed it will. [01:26] buahhaha: do you understand what you need to do so we can help you?

I got your pm but my script is full of lines that only differ as far as the filename is concerned [01:28] psychotherapist: I don't know. [01:28] Flannel, did you mean cd here? sudo cp /whereever [01:28] Jorden_U: Ok, if nothing else the terminal commands still work...lol [01:28] psychotherapist: this question is for Ubuntu related questions, please keep it ontopic [01:28] unop: I did. Notice I said cd earlier in the line, and also a few lines earlier.

You need to pastebin the script and the file that it is using so we can see it [01:28] hey can someone help me? [01:29] Flannel: ok, phew.. so, it appears xorg.conf.1 didn't work, and i went on to try the next one. after trying xorg.conf.1 i did cntrl alt backspace to restart X, no difference, then rebooted, but still it started in low graphics mode and gave me the configuration options. [01:29] Flannel, sudo cd /wherever cannot possible do anything as cd is not an external command [01:29] s/possible/possibly/ [01:29] unop: Thats what I said. [01:29] Ok, I opened the terminal and type the command line you gave me. It shut down and started back up, but i still have only 600x800 as the highest resolution settings available to me. Is this possible due to my having booted from CD instead of installing? [01:29] hello someone help me...

[01:29] crap.. [01:29] and the filenames constitute the problem since they have spaces [01:30] Flannel, errm. what should i infer from this? so "sudo cp /whereever" will change directories, and then exit, ... [01:30] someone ffs help! [01:30] buahhaha: are you quoting the paths that have spaces? [01:30] anyone having trouble installing Flex Builder Alpha? [01:30] USERNAME, you've not yet indicated with what [01:30] yes, the paths are with spaces [01:30] Flannel: should i undo and make a .broken of that too? or can you not undo in the cl.. [01:30] buahhaha: you aren't listening. You need to actually show us the script, not describe it to us [01:30] omfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[01:30] buahhaha: that's ok, use paste.ubuntu.com [01:31] unop: If you read the full conversation, you'll see. [01:31] Flannel, it's more than useless -- sudo would fail with "sudo: cd: command not fount" [01:31] unop: That's *not* the point, and this is offtopic.

[01:32] buahhaha: great, use paste.ubuntu.com to show us what happens when you run it [01:32] in copymp3sanddeletethen/ I get one file called "?" [01:32] buahhaha: what editor did you use to write it? [01:32] kate [01:32] and nano [01:32] ok [01:33] buahhaha: how are you running it? [01:33] lauren4667: You've copied xorg.conf.1 to xorg.conf, it still exists in xorg.conf.1, all you need to do is cp xorg.conf.backup to xorg.conf and try that one. Unless you've accidentally overwritten xorg.conf.1 [01:33] first chmod a+x [01:33] and then simply ./thescript [01:33] I've tried sh thescript too but it didn't make any difference [01:33] buahhaha: and copymp3sanddeletethen/ is a subdirectory of your current working directory? [01:33] buahhaha: do this: cat -e thescript and paste a sample line here [01:34] everything you say suggests a carriage return, though it makes no sense if you use kate [01:34] yes copymp3sanddeletethen/ is a subdirectory of the one with the script but i've tried with the full pathname too [01:34] Flannel: ahh right. ok. that makes sense suddenly. I seem to have some command line anxiety. hopefully one day i'll get past that ; ) [01:35] and I now tried with escape characters instead of quotes but the result is the same [01:35] Flannel, Thanks mate. It worked ;) - But I want to ask you something, and this happened even before I reinstalled XP. On the Grub loader I have 2 Ubuntu, and 2 Ubuntu Recovery, and 1 Ubuntu xxxx.x :P and sure the XP. My Ubuntu display doubled once BEFORE when I added new rams to my desktop ( Or I am wrong ). But anyway...how can I get to fix that? [01:35] lauren4667: It'll happen, don't worry.

[01:55] i just need step by step on how to use this card [01:55] yes sir [01:55] remoteCTRL 64 bytes from 169.254.7.110 icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time 0,043 [01:56] hi guys [01:56] woli, sorry i didnt mean that to sound rude [01:56] woli: the traditional way is to put them in a 'bin' directory in your home. look at the file '.profile' in your home to see how another path can be added [01:56] Guest77048: well that is a completely diffren ip adress now and god that you get a response from it that means you made it! [01:56] Schmex`: in the grub menu, pres e on one entry then press e again on the line which says root (hdX,X) and change that ro read root (hd0,4) then esc and press b [01:56] bigsniperboy, what thing? [01:57] im setting up a fa311 eithernet card [01:57] aha mgolisch, thanks..I'll try that. [01:57] and i am very new to ubuntu [01:57] prince_jammys, thanks once again for your help, gotta go [01:57] remoteCTRL ya but still dont have internet [01:57] woli: if you create a /home/woli/bin , scripts in there will be in your path once you log back in. [01:57] buahhaha: welcome [01:57] remoteCTRL -_- [01:57] bigsniperboy: so again its a wired ethernetcard? [01:57] yes [01:58] bigsniperboy: and do you have dhcp in your network? [01:58] i have a sparse 100gb disk image (created with dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/file bs=1M count=0 seek=100000) which has a LUKS ext3 filesystem in it, this set up works perfectly, but its a bit of a pain mounting it (3 commands are needed: losetup /dev/loop1 /path/to/img; cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop1 something; and finally mount /dev/mapper/something mountpoint) i'm wondering if an easy program exists to automate these 3 steps? [01:58] i dont know what that is [01:58] holaaaaaaaa [01:58] Guest77048: well that can't be that big of a problem [01:58] whats good all? [01:58] can someone help me with nmap command line? [01:58] bigsniperboy: do you have a router? then mostlikely dhcp is enabled there, it means computers dont need to staticaly get assigned ip addresses but get those from the router [01:59] does any one have idea about how to install wireless card in the ASUS EEEPC 900? [01:59] oh ok, ya i got a router, a dlink [01:59] jscinoz: write a shellscript? [01:59] mgolisch, yeah i will try that in a second, also was wondering if there is any way to do this without root, ie FUSE perhaps? [02:00] bigsniperboy: ok first does ifconfig output show any devices? something like eth0 or eth1 or so [02:00] whats a good way to learn C C+? [02:00] any good apps? [02:00] scifiguy951: what do you need in nmap? [02:00] Hallo. Does somebody know if it's a better way to keep a HDD NTFS and shred it and after it format it to ext3 or the other way round? [02:01] prince_jammys, does that method (.profile) require reboot ? [02:01] pingu_: shred it first, as shred will destroy any filesystem. [02:01] hey folks... when i boot unbuntu once i get past grub my monitor kicks out saying that it cant display the resolution (monitor is native 1280x1024) but comes back once the GUI loads... how can i change the boot resolution to something else (say 800x600) so i can get my boot screen back??? [02:01] pingu_: what do you mean? what would provide a better of destroying data? [02:01] yes [02:01] woli: no, just re-login [02:01] i have a laptop connected to the router i am connected to, i wanted to try to log on to it. from this pc. [02:01] pingu_: shred /dev/whatever (probably with appropriate options, unless you want 25 passes) [02:01] uh ok [02:01] and faster, more secure? [02:01] hey can someone help me? [02:01] USERNAME: please stop. [02:01] Guest77048: what happens if you enter 69.63.178.11 into your browser instead of an url? [02:01] pingu_: no sure what else you'd need after shred, just poke around the man file and I'm sure your drive will be in decent order [02:01] mgolisch: okay i am at "edit boot options" and it sais partition: 1, and hard disc: eae7278c. then below that it sais something like /NONEXECUTE=OPTION [02:02] hey how i download zday?!?!?!?!?! [02:02] Rockwellgump: in your bios? [02:02] so i dont need to format to ext3 befor shreding? [02:02] mgolish: what do i do next [02:02] what about ip masking to? [02:02] thought shred might be not good for Windows-file format [02:02] bigsniperboy: did it display anything? [02:02] scifiguy951: I'm rather confused as to what you want/who you're asking, etc. Please be a bit clearer. [02:03] pingu_: shred doesn't care what file system it is, it just shreds it [02:03] Does anyone know where I can get help with Xorg.conf . Installed ATI card and loads up to a white screen, Not sure if the Xorg.conf is where the problem is. [02:03] pingu_: shred just writes data, ignores any sort of formatting [02:03] what do i do for it to display something, i rebooted the comp after putting it in [02:03] bigsniperboy: please write my nick correctly so i get highlighted if you say something to me, otherwise its quite hard to follow in big channels like that one here [02:03] but why the CAUTION in manual? [02:03] oh ok sorry [02:04] let me try... [02:04] bigsniperboy: if you open a terminal and write ifconfig -a [enter] does it display something like eth1 or eth0 [02:04] ? [02:04] hey mgolisch [02:04] scifiguy951: this is a pretty good start: www.crasseux.com/books/ctutorial/ [02:04] aloo [02:04] remoteCTRL i have did a restart and now not appear my card network [02:04] i new hare [02:04] bigsniperboy, mgo [02:04] remoteCTRL this is a big shit [02:04] pingu_: That's only if you're doing it on an actual file, not a device. [02:04] mgolisch [02:04] shred manual says FS systems and ext3 might be not good [02:04] Guest77048: please watch the language. [02:04] aaah [02:04] estropajo: :) [02:04] ok, Flannel [02:04] ok [02:04] how to have user foo to become root (su) without entering root password - when ever given USB key (with proper key file) is inserted into the box (and perhaps ask one time for a short passhprase and cahe that) [02:05] i want to install theme to my pc [02:05] wow!!! je je.... yeah! it works [02:05] but how [02:05] scifiguy951: for C. i think there's some C++ documentation available through apt. [02:05] :'( [02:05] exit [02:05] when i boot unbuntu once i get past grub my monitor kicks out saying that it cant display the resolution (monitor is native 1280x1024) but comes back once the GUI loads... how can i change the boot resolution to something else (say 800x600) so i can get my boot screen back??? [02:06] how to say? GNU? or GNU/Linux? [02:06] mgolisch: no it shows loop back [02:06] estropajo: depends on what you want to say ;) [02:06] outbriber: yoo [02:06] bigsniperboy: nothing else? then you card is not working atm [02:06] scifiguy951: yeah. ;) so what did you need in nmap? [02:06] but I would like to know what really is GNU [02:06] Another question: Wouldnt it be a good solution to format throughout all file systems gParted let me? [02:07] estropajo, depends .. you can use the GNU system with other kernels too . then you would call those setups GNU/Hurd, GNU/kFreeBSD, etc .. [02:07] does it have openoffice ? i.e. [02:07] command line [02:07] to make it impossible to restore something [02:07] like making the HDD crazy with all these formattings? [02:07] bigsniperboy: can you please execute the following commands in a terminal? sudo apt-get install pastebinit and after that please du lspci|pastebinit and paste the resulting url in here [02:07] outbriber: command line [02:07] prince_jammys, i have no success [02:07] bigsniperboy: ups you dont have internet scratsch that [02:07] :) [02:07] woli: can you show the line you used? [02:08] outbriber: i want to log onto a laptop from this comp [02:08] bigsniperboy: anyways type lspci in a terminal and tell me what it lists for ethernet controler [02:08] prince_jammys, the file name appears in the Alt-F2 dialog, but with a .desktop next to it, and it doesn;t run [02:08] outbriber: via router [02:08] prince_jammys, where? [02:08] estropajo, GNU typically consists of the software made the GNU project/FSF .. and openoffice is not one of them, i don't think [02:08] Rockwellgump: did you figure out how to change the boot order? [02:08] woli: wait, what file name? [02:08] scifiguy951: To log onto another computer, you need ssh. [02:08] prince_jammys, a launcher [02:08] woli: so why do you want to change your PATH? [02:09] I need a fortran program for linux, want to get back into coding... any suggestiuns? [02:09] outbriber: synaptic? [02:09] prince_jammys, i just want a way to launch my app from the alt-f2 [02:09] Not a nice idea formatting through all file formats? [02:09] is there a gui app for setting up alarm ? [02:09] woli: does it launch when you type filename.desktop ? [02:09] mgolisch: its not showing an eithernet controller [02:09] woli: wait, desktop files aren't executable [02:09] scifiguy951: ssh is installed by default on ubuntu machines. You run it from the command line like this: ssh user@ipaddress [02:09] what should be the best place to install eeebuntu? is it recommended that I install it in the internal SSD memory (4Gb)? [02:10] bigsniperboy: is it a usb adapter? or pcmcia/pccard? [02:10] !info gfortran > caveman26 [02:10] caveman26, please see my private message [02:10] mgolisch: pccard [02:10] or better in the additional SSD memory (16Gb) [02:10] ? [02:10] outbriber: how do i get the ip and usernames? [02:10] ty [02:10] prince_jammys, which are desktop files? [02:10] bigsniperboy: you actualy have a laptop which doesnt have an builtin ethernet port? lol how old is that thing? [02:10] prince_jammys, and no.. it doesn't launch [02:10] :) [02:11] mgolisch: no, its a desktop [02:11] so its a pci card or what? [02:11] mgolisch: sorry its a pci card [02:11] desktops ususaly dont have pcmcia === yann_ is now known as YaNn86 [02:11] mgolisch: ya, i feel stupid [02:11] woli: what does the Exec=blahblah line of the that file look like? [02:11] caveman26, there are a few other fortran compilers available. see http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?mode=exactfilename&searchon=names&keywords=fortran [02:11] I read something that ASUS EEE PC SSD memory has short lifetime [02:11] scifiguy951: To get the ip, one way is to point your web browser to whatismyip.com. The username is just whatever you have set on there. Is the other computer running ubuntu/linux? [02:11] bigsniperboy: very strange and lspci doesnt list it? [02:11] is it true? [02:11] mgolisch: no [02:12] i didnt install anything on it [02:12] mgolisch: should i [02:12] outbriber: no, i think its winXP [02:12] bigsniperboy: this usualy means linux doesnt see it all, that might be why its not working [02:12] where should I install eeebuntu in my Asus? [02:12] mgolisch: oh, what should i do [02:12] prince_jammys, this is the thing: I have a launcher--which i suppose is included in PATH--that launches (perfectly) a bash script, that will run an executable with a certain directory as workpath [02:12] mgolisch: ive got linux drivers for it, but idk how to use them [02:13] prince_jammys, note that the launcher achieves what i want when double-clicke [02:13] d [02:13] any idea about eeebuntu? [02:13] woli: the GUI is opening it [02:13] specially with an Asus EEEPC 900 [02:13] bigsniperboy: the problem is the linux kernel doesnt see the card, there must be something wrong, ie its plugged into shared agp/pci port something [02:13] prince_jammys, what do you mean? [02:13] I don't know where should I install it [02:13] +or [02:13] woli: open the launcher with a text editor and find the line that says 'exec=' [02:13] mgolisch: should i shut it dow and put it in another port? [02:14] scifiguy951: You can log onto that using VNC. It will require a bit more setup. vncviwer should be on your ubuntu machine, you'll need to install UltraVNC or the like on the XP machine and set up a password. With VNC you actually see what is on the other computer's screen, but it is quite a bit slower than ssh. [02:14] bigsniperboy: yeah try that [02:14] mgolisch: ok one sec, btw thanks for the help [02:14] prince_jammys, ok [02:14] bigsniperboy: no problem [02:14] woli: the launcher has information that your desktop environment uses, such as the icon file, and where to find the executable file. [02:14] is it possible to use more than two monitors with ubuntu? [02:15] I mean, at the seam time [02:15] prince_jammys, gnome-terminal -e "/home/wolter/.Password\\ Manager/launcher.sh" [02:15] same time [02:15] estropajo: most grafics cards dont support that [02:15] Can someone look at my xorg.conf to see if they see a problem? Installed radeon card and loads up to aa white screen. http://paste.ubuntu.com/42039/ [02:16] what is a compatible applet for playing video on a website? the only thing that seems to work is FLASH, cortado does not work.. any suggestions ? thanks! [02:16] mgolisch, but is it possible? I have seen few examples about that in youtube.com but only with two monitors at the same time [02:17] woli: great. here's the easy way: create a directory called 'bin' in your home. then create a file that has that has two lines: #!/bin/sh and the second line is the command you just pasted. put that file in the bin directory. [02:17] Flannel: I think maybe I need to edit the xorg.conf file. none of the backups seemed to work. i read this thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813544 - which has me feeling rather hopeless. Should I do as one user suggested and move the xorg.conf file to another directory and restart X? or will that make things worse? [02:17] woli: it's actually better to put it in /usr/local/bin [02:17] estropajo: i think it is, but i never done that, it might work using multiple graphics cards [02:18] mgolisch: its starting up now [02:18] estropajo: I run dual screens in ubuntu, over a single dual output dvi card [02:18] lauren4667: well, you've already got backups, so you don't need to move, just delete. But yes, as of Hardy we've got fancy automagical detection stuff [02:18] bigsniperboy: ok [02:18] Does anybody know how to remove the ubuntu icon from gnome panel? I tried changing start-here.png and distributor-logo.png in /usr/share/icons/Human/22x22. [02:18] Is there a way to tell what processes are accessing the harddrive? [02:18] gkffjcs_: the command involves his home dir. /usr/local/bin is for all users. [02:18] woli: sorry, he's right [02:18] yeah, sorry prince_jammys [02:18] yeah! but I havent found references of a motherboard that has more than one pci-e slot [02:18] Ashfire908, lsof [02:18] gkffjcs_, ok np; prince_jammys, with what file extension? [02:19] woli: none [02:19] Hi! Isn't there source packages at all in Ubuntu ? [02:19] what kind of mainboard have more than one pci-e x16 slot? [02:19] prince_jammys, i don't want the directory to be seen... [02:19] prince_jammys, the "bin" [02:19] estropajo: sure there are, how do you think SLI works? [02:19] mika_videodev: there are. Every* package has a source package. [02:19] estropajo: I only use one pci-e x16 slot for my video card to run both screens. [02:19] how are the source packages named? [02:19] woli: heh. ok, you have to put it somewhere in your path. [02:19] andrewaclt, I think all that does is list open files, not disk activity. [02:20] mika_videodev: sure there are, you can get the sourcepakcage name by apt-cache show packagename, it should list the sourcepackage name [02:20] I just installed these packages: gstreamer-tools gstreamer0.10-tools libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg gstreamer0.10-tools [02:20] prince_jammys, ok ok done [02:20] But cannot find any sources of them in my installation [02:20] Evening all, I run 8.04 x86-64 and flash was working fine. now all flash videos (youtube, etc) only play the first 2 seconds of video. The rest of the video is downloaded/cached but only 2 seconds are played. if I drag the slider to another position, 2 seconds are played again, and then playback stops. Any ideas? [02:20] mgolisch: it now shows my eithernet card in terminal, how do i connect it to the network? [02:20] prince_jammys, let me try it, and i tell you [02:21] woli: try it first from a terminal, by typing whatever you called the file [02:21] mika_videodev: Most of them are the same as the regular packages. But if you view the package at packages.ubuntu.com (or launchpad) you can see for sure. [02:21] i recently add xchat and when i type /sysinfo it do nothing why? [02:21] [ 43.770349] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present -> What are the numbers in the []? I've not seen this on other distros, would like to remove it. [02:21] bigsniperboy: wonderfull, dou you use networkmanager? [02:21] Sorry, that's dmesg [02:21] Got a question for... whoever. I've got my new (to me) Dell D620, I put Ubuntu 8.0.4 on it this morning, and now I'm far away, at a hotel. The D620 has indicator lights for power on, harddrive usage, battery charging and wifi. Booting into Ubuntu, no wifi light, no wifi signals. Booting into XP, I get light and a signal [02:21] mgolisch: idk, ill use whatever you show me [02:21] andrewaclt, system uptime [02:21] :) [02:22] seconds.milliseconds === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [02:22] err, microseconds [02:22] howdy [02:22] mika_videodev: the sources are never installed, but you can fetch the to the current directory with apt-get source packagename [02:22] KRF, interesting, can I configure it not to include that? [02:22] prince_jammys, from terminal works awesome [02:22] woli: if you don't want the bin directory you can make another dir and add it in your .bash_profile, for instance I have a folder called "Scripts" whic I find more asthetically pleasing, you can do it py appending this to the end of your .bash_profile "PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Scripts" [02:22] woli: cool. try with alt-f2 [02:22] its a kernel config option afaik [02:22] Why doesn't Ubuntu show the presence of signals, and why no wifi indicator light (or is that because it can't find any?) [02:22] so it would need a kernel recompile [02:22] bigsniperboy: do you run ubuntu or kubuntu? [02:23] mgolisch: ubuntu [02:23] Flannel: oh my goodness, that is automagical! it seems all better. phew! [02:23] cornell1, nm-applet shows signal strength [02:23] KRF, cool thanks. [02:23] Flannel: thank you so much for your help [02:23] i dont know where to ask about this, so im trying you guys (1200 ppl) i want to stream gps data from my mobile device to my apache webserver [02:23] any ideas to my above? [02:23] dewdrop, you there? [02:24] bigsniperboy: ok install network-manager-gnome either via apt-get or synaptic [02:24] mgolisch: im sorry, you lost me there [02:24] its kinda of a gimmick for my business, so visitors to my site can see where im at [02:24] prince_jammys, i did the PATH=~/Repository:"${PATH}" line in the console, and then it ran as i wrote the appname on the console... i closed the console, and stopped working [02:24] many results from that comman dinclude "Source: gstreamer0.10", but: aptitude install gstreamer0.10 complains "Couldn't find package "gstreamer0.10", and more than 40 packages contain "gstreamer0.10" in their name." [02:25] Is there a way to tell what processes are accessing the hard drive (and not just a list of open files)? [02:25] prince_jammys, not exactly lol... it still works.. but not from altF2 [02:25] bigsniperboy: open in menu: System-Administration-Synaptic-Packagamenanagement or so, no clue how its named in english [02:25] CHC [02:25] what [02:25] anyone here got an airport extreme runing in 6.06 dapper drake ? [02:25] apt-get source packagename ? is that "source" typed as-is, or should I replace it by something ? [02:25] no no...forget it [02:25] lol [02:25] woli: what is the command your trying to run? [02:25] bigsniperboy: if you cant find that open a terminal and type gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic [02:26] "Password Manager" [02:26] mika_videodev: you only replace "packagename" [02:26] mika_videodev, as-is [02:26] woli: ok, the first thing you said is normal. it was attached to the terminal. to make it so that you can close the terminal, do 'progname & disown' [02:26] is there a way to auto remove dead links in apt-get ? [02:26] gkffjcs_, if i do it from the terminal (Password\ Manager) it works.. [02:26] mgolisch: i found it [02:26] I have an Intel gfx card, why can't I get better than 1024x768 resolution on my monitor? [02:26] Paddy_EIRE Sorry [02:26] woli, if you want to keep a process from dying when running in console suffix it with "& disown" [02:26] prince_jammys, done [02:26] woli: sorry I mean the command in the script? [02:26] AM here [02:26] bigsniperboy: in that program find network-manager-gnome and install it if its not allready [02:27] dewdrop, I will help you once I am done with this cigarette and tea.. 1 sec mate [02:27] cool [02:27] that must be unique to [K]Ubuntu then. In debian there are packname and packname-dev or packname-src (cannot remember which, but that's the idea) [02:27] gkffjcs_, gnome-terminal -e "~/path/to/launcher.sh" [02:27] the other thing you can try is putting a single & sign at the end of the command, this should allow the command to work after the terminal exits [02:28] prince_jammys, KRF, gkffjcs_ , why will my program run from terminal, but not from the Alt-F2 Dialog ? [02:28] KRF, where do i put disown? [02:28] woli, because of a different environemtn [02:28] right after the & [02:28] also alt f2 may not work since you only put the new path into one instance of your terminal [02:28] good bye everybody [02:28] thanks [02:28] inbetween a space [02:28] woli: because X isn't seeing the addition to your PATH, apparently [02:28] KRF, well, where do i put the &? [02:29] Is there a way to remove the ubuntu icon from gnome panel? I tried start-here.png and distributor-icon.png in my current theme. [02:29] prince_jammys, because of the disown, i asume.. [02:29] you will need to add the path to your ~/.bash_profile, before x will see it [02:29] woli: huh? [02:29] bigsniperboy: did you find the network-manager thing there? [02:29] mgolisch: its already loaded [02:29] prince_jammys, i have not appended it [02:29] yet [02:29] bigsniperboy: ok then there should be litle icon in your tray [02:30] if you did a manual PATH=$PATH:/new/path it will only be in the path for the terminal you entered it in, [02:30] woli [02:30] I have an Intel gfx card, why can't I get better than 1024x768 resolution on my monitor? [02:30] can anyone tell me why rsync makes incomplete files (drive images filled with 20% data and 80% zeros) occupy their maximum sizes on xfs while cp doesnt?! [02:30] woli: also if you close the terminal and re open an new one, it will stop working. too [02:30] your monitor prob dosent suport any thing more [02:30] KRF, prince_jammys, like this >> PATH=~/.Personal\ Repository:${PATH}" & disown ?? [02:31] no [02:31] help me for dvr card [02:31] mgolisch: yep i see it, i used dhcp in it and it says that i am connected, but i tried the internet, and it wouldnt load [02:31] gkffjcs_, no it didn't... still works.. perhaps it will happen if i kill the gnome-terminal process [02:31] prince_jammys, where, or... how? [02:31] woli: yeah, probabily [02:31] woli: forget about disown. it was in response to "how can i run an app from a terminal and be able to close the terminal and not have the app close?" [02:31] apt-get source got the dsc file: "25247 gstreamer0.10_0.10.14-1ubuntu3.diff.gz" - are those ubuntu differences automatically pathed to those files also automatically extracted ?

On a seperate partition [03:19] ubuntu is really complicated for a ubuntu user like me [03:19] i dont know of any such tools for linux [03:19] don't insult me by assuming i don't know how to mount a drive and i won't [03:19] good people indeed [03:19] they use hardware/software you CANT buy [03:19] everything is for sell [03:20] if oyu could do stuff like this on your own what would be the purpose of these firms [03:20] what should i do if ubuntu is not detecting my ethernet connection? [03:20] basti: so your answer is you can't become one of those firms? [03:20] theres all sorts of software out there [03:21] sure you can. you just need some intelligent people who can write you the software and build your hardware [03:21] someone was telling me theres a program out there that if u were to say format your MBR, it will crawl out amongst the drive and rebuild the partition tables and mbr and all that good stuff [03:21] I have a question [03:22] Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from [03:22] DictionaryMIDlet.jar [03:22] scrup: there is testdisk, it analyzes the disks and tries to reconstruct the partitiontable [03:22] mgolisch: so why couldn't i get that answer while ago [03:23] is it a safe idea to compile more than one program at a time? [03:23] what should i do if ubuntu is not detecting my ethernet connection? [03:23] cpierce: what answer? i told you from the begining there no software you could get for that [03:23] bastid_raZor, no. it just takes longer [03:23] i mean yes ;) [03:23] bastid_raZor: possibly, as long as neither wants to link part of the other in some way [03:24] does anyone know where i can find the python folder? [03:24] cpierce: and if the data was important/valueable you have a backup , if not it wasnt important enough.. [03:24] its for a customer [03:24] how do you remove compiz?

[03:25] cpierce, thats the first of tech support. assume the worst [03:25] cpierce: filesystem problem.. use testdisk [03:25] cpierce, rule of tech support [03:25] djhash: thanks [03:26] there's ntfs tools.. if you messed up the partition table there's gpart (not gparted) which will try to guess partition layout by looking at what remains of the filesystem [03:26] cpierce: testdisk is a very delicate software and can seriously damage ur drive beyond consumer repair.. please read up on it.. [03:26] djhash: doesn't matter at this point [03:26] cpierce: The suggested way of recoving a drive is to find another drive and clone the entire thing, then only work on the clone [03:27] but still it wont fix broken filesystems, testdisk that is [03:27] that way if you screw up you can go back and clone it again [03:28] myr: i should also mention that im using VMware on xp to run ubuntu. needless to say my internet works fine from xp [03:28] does anyone know where i can find the python folder?

[03:34] Hey guys, this is sorta my first time using IRC so I was wondering if someone can show me to the appropriate channel. I'm looking to buy a new "NetBook" pc for myself and plan to run ubuntu. I have never used ubuntu before but I plan on using it for the netbook and future endeavors. Firstly, can anyone point me into the direction of somewhere where people can give me advice on which NetBook to buy? [03:34] mmm [03:34] why not just sudo rm -f ~.Trash/* [03:34] gracias [03:34] what does missing file operand mean? [03:34] woli: sudo fuser -k /dev/whatever will kill whatever process is keeping it busy, I think.. or that might be for the mountpoint instead? [03:34] how can i turn off the cpu freq scaling? [03:35] arielkhandadash: google them, make an educated decision, come back here when you've decided [03:35] whats a net book? [03:35] arielkhandadash: I would recommend the ASUS eeepc [03:35] this stupid software is measuring it and refusing to install [03:35] there! no compiz. now ubuntu doesn't suck. [03:35] Tobark: Asus EEE PC, Dell Inspiron 910, Acer Aspire One, MSI Wind [03:35] zcat[1], i'm installing an application that requires 2 CDs... [03:35] its asking me for CD 2 [03:35] I was looking at the Asus Aspire One. any thoughts? [03:35] but i can't eject because i cant.... [03:35] /etc/init.d/powernowd stop [03:35] arielkhandadash: Uck! I wouldn't buy that if you paid me [03:35] phantomcircuit: sudo apt-get remove powernowd [03:36] zcat[1], if i kill it, it will kill the installer... [03:36] arielkhandadash: but that's a personal thing... I just hate Acers [03:36] woli, wine eject [03:36] ? [03:36] arielkhandadash: I'd suggest get whatever netbook you like most, and keep whatever linux it came with, usually they've donw some work to get everything to work nicely and it can be a pain to change to a different distro [03:36] iam waiting for the new lenovo ideapad [03:36] rww, i just want to temporarily stop it [03:36] it looks nice [03:36] /etc/init.d/powernowd stop [03:36] hat does missing file operand mean?

[03:38] Anyone successfully used subtitles in dvd-slideshow (qdvdauthor). I can't get them to render and i'm googling my eyes out. [03:38] rm -rf .Trash/* works..

Next time, when the installer prompts you for the second disk, specify the path to the folder containing your dump of the second disk [03:38] woli: problem solved. [03:38] icewewe, thanks... [03:38] zcat[1], that doesnt look like a good idea [03:38] i will have to copy like 5, to be honest [03:39] myr: you think? why not? [03:39] zcat[1]: thanks for the suggestions it looks like gpart is working [03:39] much better answer than sorry your screwed [03:39] zcat[1], .Trash/.. is in .Trash/* [03:39] i wish people that didn't know something about an answer wouldn't just guess at it [03:40] myr: * doesn't match .. [03:40] myr: * doesn't match . or .. though afaik.. [03:40] thank goodness [03:40] myr, dot-globbing is not set [03:40] prince_jammys, Thank you that worked :) [03:40] ok, good to know [03:40] myr: I do know, however, that .* DOES match .. .. and I won't ever make that mistake again. [03:40] !thanks [03:40] holyguyver: what did? [03:40] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [03:40] zcat[1], thats what i was thinking of [03:40] prince_jammys, the thing you had Ubottu tell me. [03:41] ah, cool.

[03:48] #exit [03:49] any workaround to the custom login/logout sounds not working at all? [03:49] my router broke and i'm using this other router that only has 1 nic port so I hooked it up to an old hub I have so I can hook up my other computers [03:50] i noticed a fair bit of degradation on the network, not massive but noticeable [03:50] i read that hubs only operate at half duplex. should I force all my nics to half duplex? [03:50] mcquaid: ok, that will happen when you use a hub... what's your question? [03:50] .msg ubottu etiquette command doesn't work? [03:50] mcquaid: that ought to work .. routers usually dhcp a whole range of addresses even when they only have one rj45, for just that reason.. [03:50] mcquaid, the problem is the hub [03:51] zcat[1], hmm .. interesting .. i knew there was something wrong with what you said. http://pastebin.com/mf9e87a3 [03:51] a hub broadcasts all data to everyone [03:51] effectivly reducing the performance for each client on the network [03:51] yes, but will forcing half dup on all devices alleviate the problem (collusions?) [03:51] no [03:51] it might help depending on the particular device [03:52] well it has a switch for cascade and normal, i ahve it at normal [03:52] but there is auto negotiation of duplex modes usually [03:52] i thought cascade sends all traffic to all devices [03:52] yes [03:52] so maybe it's not doing that [03:52] (you have a switch/hub that switches with a switch ... lol fucking english >.<) [03:53] what can i restart so ubuntu see's my canon camera again? [03:53] ok but still get a fair amount of collisions (which I read is normal for a hub) but it would be nice if I could improve performance [03:53] its a hub, its not going to segregate any data itself. [03:53] What app do I download to unrar archives? [03:53] Theaxiom, rar [03:53] !ohmy | phantomcircuit [03:53] phantomcircuit: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:53] has anyone ever had a problem where they couldn't enable the checkboxes under the main menu? [03:53] yeah but it's a hub hooked up to a router, so I thought it would do that ;) very limited knowledge of hubs... [03:53] fluid: Is there another one? [03:53] so would forcing half dup on all devices help? [03:54] for example, the synaptic checkbox is unchecked, i click it and put an 'x' on it, then two seconds later the 'x' goes away [03:54] install rar, and you can use the regular old archiver on the desktop afterwards for them. [03:54] Theaxiom: just search synaptic for rar there are lots [03:54] or are they probably forced to half dup anyway [03:54] fluid: Oh, ok. Thanks. [03:54] anyone seen that? [03:55] myr, zcat[1], or more to the point. http://pastebin.com/d4b0dc652 [03:55] and sorry i see phantomcircuit you said it normally auto negotiates duplex modes... [03:55] hmmm [03:55] hubs suck ;) [03:55] unop: weird. I'm sure it used to behave differently.. [03:56] help me pls [03:56] eh, hubs dont suck. they serve the purpose of doing exactly what you are doing. [03:56] for dvr card driver [03:57] switches > hubs [03:57] zcat[1], it wouldn't make sense for rm to do that .. you would always end up with a catastrophe on your hands if ever you created a bunch of dot files and wanted to remove them later. [03:57] switches are much better than hubs, but his switch died. [03:58] hey guys [03:58] unop: i think other rms may not be so nice [03:58] hub > switches for sniffing traffic and watching / troubleshooting apps. IMHO [03:58] unop: have heard of destruction caused by .* on other systems [03:59] prince_jammys, like which ones .. i know for a fact the BSD one doesn't [03:59] i thnk i just found a workaround for this problem. brb. [03:59] unop: don't remember. greycat mentioned it. [03:59] unop: there was a discussion, but it's all a blur :) [03:59] prince_jammys, heh, yea, greycat uses some exotic and ageing unix :) [03:59] What do I type to add myself to a group?

[04:01] unop: i remember this: NEVER type that command!! ;) [04:01] what should the "root' in my grub/menu.lst be? [04:01] keep in mind that i have a separate boot partition [04:01] I'm pretty sure I did it on redhat, but that was a while back.. I may have been thinking of something equally stupid but different. I did figure out that 'echo .*' includes .. and I'm pretty sure that's what I tried once and it did remove just about everything in /home/ I had permission to remove. [04:01] my problem right now is that when i try to boot from the drive, i get an error saying no operating system is installed [04:02] zcat[1]: you ever used the photorec thing [04:02] zcat[1], well you can see rm explicitly ignore . and .. [04:02] pretty amazing [04:02] .. anyhow, fact is relying on 'rm' NOT to remove .. when you tell it to is probably not a good idea anyway. [04:03] Hey all, I am receiving a Error 12: Invalid Device Requested when trying to boot into windows xp which is loaded on a SEPARATE HDD to my ubuntu install.

[04:25] DGM in the future, you can try dpkg-reconfigure [packagename] instead of re-installing [04:25] i mean if it's not installed to the MBR [04:25] Can anyone help me fix my firefox, it will only run if I do sudo firefox. I have already reinstalled, deleted the .mozilla folder, done a purge unisntall and reinstalled [04:25] i have a /boot partition [04:26] should GRUB be installed to the /boot partition or the / partition?

[04:27] Atmethes, there's a website for that [04:27] falemant: boot, ordinarily.......Usually Ubuntu itself can handle installing Grub on its own. Are you having problems? [04:27] DGM, xfonts-100dpi for starters [04:27] yea bobertdos i'm having problems [04:27] i just installed grub again to the /boot partition [04:27] using the livecd [04:27] anyone else have issues lately.. with firefox in ubuntu NOT connecting to add-ons [04:27] DGM: Do you have the metapackage "xorg" ( not xserver-xorg ) installed ? [04:27] deobfuscate: after purging and all that try a "sudo find / -name firefox also with *firefox* and delete everything you find and try reinstalling after that... [04:28] i triedto boot and it said it couldnt find the operating system [04:28] DGM: That should bring in the packages you need, including fonts [04:28] i lied [04:28] the cpu is being used full percent [04:28] falemant: Are you dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows?

[04:29] also try finding other files including firefox in name with a star at beginning and end....should find all let of firefox [04:29] Good evening. I was wondering if it was possible to use an ubuntu computer with multiple NIC's as a switch (as well as a router, at some point) [04:29] from english to spanish? [04:29] kaiwen, iowait isn't a process, it's a clasification of what your kernel is going for some amount of time [04:29] aight just to put it to bed, when i try to boot from the drive with ubuntu on it (from the one time boot menu) it says it can't find an operating system and i have to restart [04:29] adakos, yes, google for adding interfaces to a bridge [04:29] windows boots just fine because i didnt touch the mbr and it's on a different drive [04:30] kriebel, it's interesting, b/c the swap is being filled and that seems to be the problem, i just don't know what. [04:30] thats how I solved such problems...if it does not start after that, post the error message if you start firefox from terminal directly [04:30] What is a command to find other computers on your network/connect to them?

[04:31] i have read that wiki article [04:31] kriebel let me see if my gui works now [04:31] in fact i did the whole grub reinstall thing [04:31] does anyone here know why there is no man.conf in etc? [04:31] i havent restarted since then [04:31] though [04:31] billenium, try a broadcast ping...ping -b to broadcast address...or just use a scanner [04:31] falemant: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:32] the problem is that i have nvidia onboard sound, and a usb headset. no matter what i set my gnome sounds to and how they test, they always come out of the headset when i do something that triggers a sound. (testing plays through the nvidia card, but not the actual end result) [04:32] kriebel, yes, for better view [04:32] pen: man is less I think [04:32] billenium: [04:32] you can use nmap to enumerate [04:32] i got it to start, i only get an error about the fastuserswitch applet [04:32] carandraug, I want to use more to view it [04:32] when i'm in gnome [04:32] falemant: Does this look familiar?

I just checked man man and saw where it keeps the configuration file [04:34] i honestly think its cause i installed with the headset connected. im not going to reinstall for this. lol. [04:34] is there a Linux equivalent to MyScript Notes? [04:34] if i specify a user when i mount a ntfs partition, they will be the default owner regardless of whether ntfs can handle permissions right? [04:34] can you chaqnge Ubuntu to kUbuntu ?

[04:37] woops [04:38] there was an option while you where installing wasn't there? [04:38] lol [04:38] kaiwen: lol [04:38] kaiwen: heh [04:38] i just wanted to see 4.1 i guess [04:38] anyone suceeded in getting giganews accelerator work under wine ? [04:38] pen: to create your own configuration file of man, it should be "~/.manpath". I don't see anything in man man to change that. Maybe the option --pager [04:38] ballzee, then you need to add the 4.1 repos [04:39] ballzee-: well I don't know how to fix that, I use gnome [04:39] tyl3r: you are better off checking winehq [04:39] ballze, can you say your prob. again? [04:39] kk [04:39] tyl3r: there is an application database in their site [04:39] deakillo: System -> Administration -> Language Support [04:40] been their already & searched the toppics [04:40] not in the DB also [04:40] but some guys managed installing it though... [04:40] Jordan_U: you have idea where is that option in xubunut?

[04:41] i found it [04:41] never mind [04:41] I think newsreaders is still a negative point in linux....lottanzb etc is good for binaries etc. but text readers on windows seem more comfortable to me.

I check dmesg and it says "VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev hdb5". Ran "sudo fdisk -l" which gave Id 83 (which I think should be ext3). It was nfts for a long time and never gave problems. [04:43] so is there a linux equivalent to MyScript Notes? [04:43] Whats a good IDS (intrusion detection system) for a person whose new to the whole concept [04:43] tv7497: http://portforward.com/routers.htm [04:43] carandraug, you still have to use mke2fs -j to create the filesystem. cfdisk doesn't do that for you [04:44] dmoerner: oh! ok, thanks. I'll try that. But why does fdisk -l show Id 83 then? [04:45] usser, it worked, thanks! [04:45] seems scim has a bug.... [04:45] what it does is, it continues to open itself, basically eating up all the memory. [04:45] this is so messed up... [04:46] kaiwen, you can try gcin? [04:46] carandraug, that's a generic listing for any linux fs. it could be reiser, ext2, ext3, xfs, etc. [04:46] gcin is dependent on scim, scorrect? [04:46] pen [04:46] dmoerner: ok. Thanks [04:46] kaiwen, no [04:47] pen i'm doing a purge on scim right now [04:47] !gcin [04:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about gcin [04:47] sound events, music/videos, audio conferencing are all set in gnome-sound-properties to Nvidia CK804, testing, rhythmbox, everything works...but actual system event sounds are playing through a seperate device.

[05:03] guys can any one help a little i screwed up my LAMP i guess if i try to access my home page of apache it goes to my router no matter how many time you port forward [05:03] fire122: it depends. Will you have many files (music files, images or documents that take a lot of space) or will you take more space with inatalled software? Software installed with wine counts as files.

[05:07] cj: you are right at the place [05:07] oh and tyl3r im usint networkmanager to do this. I dont seem to have this problem if i connect via the terminal. [05:07] that seems correct. You get assigned a different standard gateway after connecting to the vpn....so in a different subnet so your local dns router is not reacheable anymore [05:07] SeaPhor: it worked out of the box [05:08] okay so I moved /boot [05:08] actually you should get assigned new dns servers from your company also.... [05:08] SeaPhor: ifconfig shows eth1 . [05:08] you know like just create a connection and restart openvpn client. i dont seem to have this problem Im pretty sure it has something to do with knetworkmanager. [05:08] I would think so..

[05:09] murlidhar, what about lsusb ? [05:10] maybe install wireshark or similar and try accessing google.de and have a look at where the dns request is send or what else happens....vpn is always tricky to debug I think...

Anyway, to answer your initial problem, just put in the Ubuntu CD and go manual partioning [05:12] SeaPhor: what is ICS? [05:13] murlidhar, Internet Connection Sharing [05:13] SeaPhor: nope . [05:13] murlidhar, depends on your sound device [05:13] fire122: sure, I can walk you through. Let me get my Ubuntu CD so we both seeing the same windows [05:13] SeaPhor: got a built-in intel card [05:14] who here is knowledgeable in partitioning and dual booting using GRUB? [05:14] I know that if I do something like dd if=/dev/hda of=/home/hddbackup. I can wipe the hard disk and restore it later. I know if I do dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/home/hddbackup. I can mount the partition in Linux. Is there a way I can do both? [05:14] murlidhar, i am having sound issues atmm also,, so i am not best one to ask,, lol [05:14] SeaPhor: i am sure sound device is supported since gutsy and feisty worked out of box [05:14] SeaPhor: lol [05:14] what's his sound hardware?

I'm simulating the installation in my laptop. You're with Ubuntu 8.04 too? [05:18] What's the virtual file thing used by gnome that was new in 8.04? [05:19] tyl3r: and...now all the sudden it has decided to work??? [05:19] there's a list somewhere of previously executed commands in bash right? [05:19] fkn damn it...what the hell. [05:19] Bhavesh: any idea of the packages required to install pulseaudio . me using a base installation [05:19] murlidhar: well i have the extractor to install. it makes the jre1.6.0_10 directory, and I need to know where to run the extractor from [05:19] zach__, .bash_history [05:19] ubuntunub, because thats what we do ;-) [05:19] heh [05:19] tyl3r you would be surprised what you can do :), even if you answer a question that someone experienced similar problem to yours even when installing [05:19] Is it normal if after installing Ubuntu onto a hard drive with Vista on another partition (and using GRUB bootloader), booting into Vista for first time had to run a SCANDISK? [05:19] zach__, ~/.bash_history [05:20] ubuntunub, yes [05:20] linkmaster03: jave-jre is already in the repos . why trying to install it manually [05:20] grendal_prime: please watch your language [05:20] fire122: well, go selecting all devices that appear and in the bottom choose "delete partition" [05:20] should I reboot to see if my other partition by uuid shows up? [05:20] i think so, its the i386 [05:20] thanks Matir` usser [05:20] murlidhar: cause the repos are outdates [05:20] well, be happy grendal...but you dont want to start working now isnt it ? what country are you from ? [05:20] oops...did i type that or just think it?? [05:20] sorry... [05:20] SeaPhor: so nothing to worry about then, good [05:20] does anyone know how to create an update cd for use with synaptic [05:20] linkmaster03: is the package is a binary .that is .bin file [05:20] ubuntunub, not usually a problem ;-) [05:21] Bhavesh, sorry I dont know what you mean....well, maybe cause its 7 in the morning and I did not sleep yet [05:21] murlidhar: yes the extractor from the java site is .bin [05:21] setkeh you are a fucking tard [05:21] fire122: probably is if you downloaded it recently. Anyway, select them one by one and choose delete partition [05:21] mjoya: look into apt-mirror [05:21] Help, UBUNTU is very slow today.... takes 5 minutes to open nautilys [05:21] Jacob_Laptop: please be nice [05:21] linkmaster03, its not outdated java 6 update 7 is in the repos the latest one [05:21] setkeh you might want to talk about the podcast in #linux or #centos [05:21] !ops | Jacob_Laptop [05:21] Jacob_Laptop: Help!

[05:22] murlidhar SeaPhor calm down no need to fret, he is my mate, i screw with him all te time [05:22] SeaPhor: meaning Vista is now 130GB partition, and Ubuntu 20GB [05:22] Jacob_Laptop: Not here you don't. [05:22] remember back when they had cd burning software that would burn disc at once without putting track pauses in between each track? do they not do that anymore at all? brasero wont do it, anyone know software that will? [05:23] okay i have all the free space [05:23] Nevermind. [05:23] hi all..sometimes my Ubuntu will freeze up. ie, i cant click on anything and get a response..also, i notice that the task bar goes all grey [05:23] Flannel shut up [05:23] woot it worked [05:23] is this a common problem? [05:23] i deleted everything in /boot/ [05:23] ubuntunub: no it is not normal but it doesn't hurt either ;) [05:23] i cannot reboot [05:23] HAHA! [05:23] you are right bhavesh, its never a shame even if a probably solution suggested might be wrong.... [05:23] linkmaster03, ah i see. [05:23] zach__: lol [05:23] murlidhar: yes it hurts, since i wanted 140GB for my Vista install :( [05:23] fire122: now, select the free space and then click in new partition [05:24] sorry Flannel but had to, [05:24] it really needs a man to ask a op to shut up [05:24] SeaPhor: No worries. [05:24] I am getting this error and dropping to busybox on an eeepc 4g [05:24] murlidhar: i was under the impression that it would automatically detect the 10GB empty partition and just use that, instead of creating yet another 10GB partition and fusing the 2 together [05:24] murlidhar, and x keeps crashing on me [05:24] this is fabulous [05:24] ubuntunub: hmm u can again resize it back to 10 GB [05:24] usb 1-2: device not accepting address 2, error -71 [05:24] murlidhar: "safely", for both OSes? [05:24] CentOS IS BETTER THAN UBU [05:24] okay i did that [05:25] murlidhar: how? from within Ubuntu or Vista? [05:25] Jacob_Laptop: please stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:25] fire122: you choose primary partition, 500megabytes, in the beggining and to use as swap [05:25] Flannel how bout no [05:25] ? [05:25] * ubuntunub thinks the nerd value in this chat is high [05:25] NewUser: Normally things do stay pretty stable, but you know, Compiz can cause a fair amount of headaches sometimes. Have you tried switching Visual Effects to None? [05:25] CENTOS s better??? wow... ok guys lets reinstall [05:25] ok, so lets all log off now [05:25] ubuntunub: yes is an application that can resize it . but i won't recommend it [05:25] php6th: just ignore it [05:26] ubuntunub: I like to refer to it as nerd wattage. === ubuntu_ is now known as falemant [05:26] fire122: then, you select free space again to create a new partition.

[05:26] but now i have a new problem [05:27] when i try to loadup ubuntu [05:27] grendal_prime: we all really need to get laid.

[05:28] NewUser: Did you check System=>Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects? [05:29] zach__: i never needed it to make a different /boot partition . [05:29] okay all that in the same partition? [05:30] murlidhar, i partitioned these drives a long time ago when I was naiive and stupid [05:30] and i decided it would be fine to switch back [05:30] NewUser, have you enabled it?? [05:30] oh god what a mistake [05:30] fire122: what do you mean same partition? you should have a total of 3 partitions and no free space after that [05:30] When you install a 10GB Ubuntu install using the Guided mode "slider", is that 10GB including the pagefile? [05:31] zach__: actually do u know what is the purpose of making a different boot partition.? i really don't know [05:31] because it doesn't let u specify pagefile space which is odd [05:31] !u > murlidhar [05:31] murlidhar, please see my private message [05:31] murlidhar, it's useless... don't ever do it [05:31] ubuntunub: linux doesn't need page files [05:31] zach__: Ah, don't be too hard on yourself about it. Trial and error is pretty much a given when you first learn the Unix environment. [05:31] swap space...

[05:31] murlidhar, its ok... we all do that... :) [05:32] murlidhar: hardy heron install guides talk about swap space! so i don't know what you mean [05:32] bobertdos1, the problem is I have a flight to catch and I need this rig up and fixed like 6 hours ago [05:32] ubuntunub: swap is something when u run out ram . [05:32] don't worry your flight will probably be cancelled anyway, judging from the past 2 days of news [05:33] murlidhar, i have a separate /home, and a separate /var, and ftp is dir to another but thats all i do,, the boot is left, i am a n00b but i dont see why to do a separate /boot [05:33] fire122: I think you missed one of my lines. 1- 500Mb of swap area, 10000Mb as ext3 for / and the rest as ext3 for /home. Do you have two HD? [05:33] SeaPhor: me a noob too bro ;) [05:33] <_marianne__> hiya [05:34] SeaPhor: i don't use a different /boot partition.

And it's not that complicated. One only has to get the logic and then everything starts making sense [05:37] okay i got the 3 partitions set now what?

[05:56] tyl3r: my webserver that's in the furnace room. so php can use mail(); [05:56] bobernet, thanks will try [05:56] not all my HD's appear when I run "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/". They all appear when I run "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-id/". Anyone knows why? And how do I find the UUID of them? [05:56] tyl3r: to send mail to people with php [05:57] ekow: can you mount the partition and work with it in ubuntu? [05:57] furnace ? sorry im german ;).... [05:57] tyl3r: room with the heater in it in the basement [05:58] tyl3r: no monitor/keyboard/mouse, etc. ubuntu server install set up specifically for apache/php/mysql. just want to get mail(); for php working [05:58] blitz: yeah i think so, however the option to unmount it is in gray, so maybe i have to use the gparted live disc instead [05:58] so actually you just need an smtp server listening on that machine accepting mails ? [05:58] ilrb2: So, what IS the default wireless card on your compaq? [05:59] blitz: uh oh wait... just found somethin [05:59] blitz: there's a ! sign by it [05:59] bobertdos1: i'm afraid i don't know, it's built in. how can i check? [05:59] tyl3r: smtp server.. yeah i think that's all i need. one that i tell it to send an email to someone, and it does, lol. no storing of emails or anything [05:59] ekow: whats the error? [06:00] blitz: and it says "Unable to read the contents of this filesystem! Because of this some operations may be unavailable." [06:00] hello [06:00] ilrb2: In a terminal, type lspci and look for it. [06:00] ekow: perhaps from a livecd environment use gparted to delete and reformat the partition [06:00] blitz: ok i'll try that [06:00] blitz: thanks [06:00] ekow: make sure its primary [06:01] blitz: primary? how do i do that? [06:01] ekow: you got the choice of primary or logical when you makle it [06:01] ]ow do you start kde-4 in a blank x session in ubuntu [06:01] i'd really like to know [06:01] blitz: oh okay [06:01] so I guess this one is sending mails to internet then...as you have nothing installed right now, did you try this tutorial ? http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p5 [06:02] bobertdos1: it's a Broadcom Corp.

[06:03] what's the command [06:03] should work for your situation...just the page 5 for postfix... [06:03] maulidhar: try /etc/init.d/pulseaudio reload [06:03] tyl3r: i'll give it a try, thanks [06:03] ilrb2 Okay, well normally I tell people to install ndisgtk and get the latest Windows XP driver to use, but first, see if the wiki says anything helpful. [06:03] I got a problem. Whenever I type for a really long time, it ends up transferring me to about middle of this sentence, and I have to backspace what I just typed over, and click where I was typing to continue. [06:03] There a solution to this? [06:03] !broadcom > ilrb2 [06:04] ilrb2, please see my private message [06:04] x [06:04] What is the function of the nvram module?

[06:05] thx [06:05] and do some relay testing here after setting up...http://spamlinks.net/prevent-secure-relay-test.htm [06:06] is there an equivalent to "Task Manager" in Ubuntu? [06:06] htop [06:07] if you like the cli ubuntunub, try htop [06:07] hey guys [06:07] you know the orange bar and the ubuntu logo [06:07] that comes up [06:07] when you turn your computer on? [06:07] mine disappeared [06:07] havocstorm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:07] now all I get is a bunch of words [06:07] how do I fix that?> [06:07] System/Administration/System Monitor is like Task Manager? [06:07] from main menu [06:08] hey [06:08] ckyle: F2 generally works for renaming too. [06:08] anyone know a good dvd burning software like nero rom that will encode dvds to? [06:08] ckyle: i don't know how to go through the filesystem like that [06:08] well, from my opinion not really...I dont like it....better use htop [06:08] ckyle: is it in the menubar at top? [06:08] fire122: I had to reboot. You said anything in the mean time? Did the test for defects finished? [06:08] dang i did not know gallery2 needs mysql [06:08] thx for the F2 - works great [06:09] Ubuntunub > do you want to force quit an application? [06:09] anyone know a good dvd burning software like nero rom that will encode dvds to? [06:09] hello? [06:09] anyone here? [06:09] sef__: no just curious [06:09] i am kinda here [06:09] havocstorm: wait for an answer [06:09] ubuntunub: yes - the menu bar at top - use "System/Administration/System Monitor" [06:09] havocstorm: if u dont get one its 90% because no one knows the answer [06:09] In the CompizConfig Settings Manager, what's the difference between the checkbox in the main list (next to the effect) and the "enable this plugin" under the properties for a certain item? [06:09] why does ubuntu come setup with a ftp server, is it for apt-get n stuff or? [06:09] anyone know a good dvd burning software like nero rom that will encode dvds to? [06:09] Does anyone know how I can enable a "Stereo Mix" input on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron? :) [06:10] but u shouldnt need a server for this.. [06:10] So that everything over my speakers would be used as audio input. [06:10] INSTALL problems I get a ACPI error so I shut it off now that I get past that I get a flashing line on a blank screen [06:10] no one has told me [06:10] nnull, to my knowledge, it doesn't by default. [06:10] dvds to what wacninja ? [06:10] wacninja: I sent you a msg [06:10] divx to dvds [06:10] \that command i'm looking for [06:10] sudo apt-get install tovidgui [06:11] hmm i seem to have a server setup on 0.0.0.0 but i didnt make it, and the user for accessing it is "nobody" [06:11] sorry blitz did not see [06:11] INSTALL problems I get a ACPI error so I shut it off now that I get past that I get a flashing line on a blank screen [06:11] nnull, did you perhaps install another package that had it as a dependency? [06:11] used that before to convert divx to dvd and burn...works fine [06:11] is it possiable to change the keyboard shortcuts so that when i ctrk+alt+del the system moniter pops out??? [06:11] Quick poll - what IRC client are you using? [06:12] LostIRC here. [06:12] wondering about kde4.1 launch command [06:12] pidgon here [06:12] XChat here [06:12] im using xvhat-bgnome [06:12] RB2, possibly i cant think what tho [06:12] mirc on windows / irssii on linux [06:12] xchat-gnome [06:13] INSTALL problems I get a ACPI error so I shut it off now that I get past that I get a flashing line on a blank screen [06:13] I'm trying to get resume from S3 working on kubuntu 8.04.1. when I resume it never powers on the screen, no capslock function. I've tried debugging with pm_trace, but it doesn't even set the clock [06:13] ckyle: on linux, Xchat (not Xchat-gnome). [06:13] apt-get me a sandwich [06:13] Chro4: is this when booting to the live CD or after installing? === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [06:14] how can i find out, without question, how large my Ubuntu partition/install size is? [06:14] i never get installed [06:14] Chro4: have you tried the alternate install CD? [06:14] i'm looking in System Monitor > File Systems > /dev/sda5 (~20GB) [06:14] ubuntunub df -h [06:15] type df -m in console [06:15] i use a floppy to boot and change the options to no acpi and thats as afar as i get [06:15] Bhavesh: in terminal? [06:15] ubuntunub, df -h [06:15] no i have not tried alt [06:15] ubuntunub sorry y yes [06:15] Terminal = console? [06:15] oh -h, you are right of course ;) [06:15] Chro4: ok, try that with the alternate install CD, though. [06:15] Why are all the groups greyed out under "Manage Groups" under users and groups? [06:15] ok [06:15] ubuntunub normally console - keyboard, no gui, terminal = window in xwindow [06:15] whats the difference between the 2 === co_savirus is now known as jonatan_syadat [06:16] ubuntunub, yes in terminal/ console [06:16] !alternate | Chro4 [06:16] Chro4: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [06:16] imma try reburning [06:16] strictly speaking, where is the console most directly accessed (not via the Terminal app) [06:16] ? [06:17] alright and it is available as server [06:17] ubuntunub: ctrl-alt-f1 through ctrl-alt-f6 (ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to the GUI) [06:17] fire122: but did you try to check for defects on the one you had before? [06:17] Why would all the groups in the window that appears when you click "Manage Groups" under the user and groups window be greyed out? [06:17] ubuntunub: you mean a full console session? ctrl-alt-F1 [06:17] dos ctrl-alt-f1 terminate my current desktop enviro? [06:17] does* [06:17] does it make sense to keep old servers ssh_host_rsa_key to new server? [06:17] yeah i had one file defected but it didnt show which one [06:17] because i'm afraid to try it lol [06:17] ubuntunub, Applications>Accessories>Terminal [06:18] ubuntunub: no. BUt use Ctrl+Alt+F7 to come back to GUI [06:18] Kai_wp: you need to unlock first. [06:18] Do I have to be root? [06:18] ubuntunub no it does not.. it simply switches you to a command line console [06:18] ubuntunub: no you use ctrl-alt-f7 to get back [06:18] pajamian: Unlock? [06:18] fire122: ok [06:18] Oh [06:18] Kai_wp: before clicking Manage Groups click on the unlock button and type in your password [06:18] WOW, that was awesome... i felt like my desktop was GONE but it came back [06:18] i <3 linux [06:18] lol [06:18] carandraug> i dont c how i can run the live cd and it work okay, but not being able to install it to the hard drive [06:18] ubuntunub welcome to linux [06:18] Is there a way to password protect the ubuntu recovery prompt? [06:19] ubuntunub: also, if you don't like the resolution of in the tty, you'll have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:19] Cpudan80, set a root password [06:19] dmoerner: but there is no root [06:19] Cpudan80: Yeah, do it through the GRUB menu [06:19] carandraug: that is a filepath, right? [06:19] don't set a root password. [06:19] ubuntunub: it doesn't terminate, it simply switches to the text mode console, but the GUI one is still running. [06:19] thumbs up to ubntunub [06:19] Flannel: a password to access the grub menu you mean? [06:19] ubottu: sorry, no luck with that link [06:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:20] Cpudan80: you can either have a password to protect specific entries, or a password to select any non-default entry [06:20] dmoerner, do not suggest that here, plz [06:20] !root [06:20] 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 [06:20] If I have Pulse Audio installed when can't I access it tfrom the "Applications->Sound And Video" menu? o.o [06:20] Flannel: hrm sounds good -- how would you password protect just the recovery entry? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [06:20] or whatever it is [06:20] ubuntunub: yes. You'll have to add vga=xxx in the kernel line of the first entry. xx is a serie of numbers which I don't know by memory [06:20] using kde 4.1 in XZnest.. how do i do it [06:20] how can i access /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [06:21] i can't find the boot Folder [06:21] if that's even what it is [06:21] ubuntunub: its in /boot/grub/ [06:21] Flannel: i can't find /boot/grub/ [06:22] fire122: maybe some file that's not important most of the times. The install maybe checks everyone of them to make sure and found it's defected, even if maybe you'll never need it [06:22] ubuntunub: did you boot to the live CD? [06:22] pajamian: no this is a full install [06:22] ubuntunub: cd /boot/grub [06:22] SeaPhor, why? that is the solution to his problem. [06:22] ubuntunub: then there has to be a /boot/grub, unless you somehow managed to specify lilo in the advanced install options. [06:22] Flannel: how about through the GUI? [06:22] ubuntunub: in your home folder, you'll hvae to go back to / . Your ome folder is in /home/yourusername [06:22] pajamian: i'm not using the console to find it at present [06:23] ubuntunub: nautilus, then filesystem then boot thten grub [06:23] How does one access Pulse Audio? [06:23] anyone know why id have 25+ running copies of console-kit-daemon running? [06:23] i've posted a few times now.. does anyone know how to start KDE4.1 in Xnest [06:23] ubuntulog, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:23] ubuntunub: just open a terminal [06:23] The Ubuntu wiki says "Now, go into Applications -> Sound and Video -> click on PulseAudio Preferences." but there's no PulseAudio Preferences under there. [06:23] ubuntunub, , gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:23] What is the function of the nvram module? 'modinfo nvram' does not answer this question. [06:23] Flannel, dmo [06:23] got it thnx [06:23] Cpudan80: If you open up your menu.lst, you'll see a part at the top about passwords, that sets a password for any "locked" entries. Then a few lines under that is a "lock alternatives" option, set that to true. None of these lines get uncommented. [06:23] okay, but will that still affect the way that it installs? [06:23] pajamian, ubuntunub dont ever edit menu.lst from a terminal it may screw ICE.authority files [06:24] i was setting my starting point at Home for some noob reason [06:24] Flannel, dmoerner is suggesting setting root password, is that right? [06:24] SeaPhor: No need to set a root password, no. [06:24] arvind_k: explain, pls [06:24] SeaPhor, as i understood his question, he asked "how to i password protect init 1". maybe i misunderstood [06:24] dmoerner: Please don't suggest using a root password in this channel. [06:24] Flannel, thought not [06:24] Flannel, ok. [06:25] fire122: maybe the defected file is not needed for the installation but for the final system. I really don't know. You should at least check the CD for defects and if possible check the md5sum of the iso. The defect can be there. [06:25] so editing .lst files is done through gedit? [06:25] pajamian, dont edit the menu.lst from the terminal ...use Alt+f2 and do the gksu thingy... if you do it through the terminal it would screw your .ICE authority files...leaving you unable to login... [06:25] ubuntunub: its a text file, yes. [06:25] How do I make sshd start automagically when the computer boots? [06:25] anyone know why id have 25+ copies of console-kit-daemon running? [06:25] can u help me with something? [06:25] ubuntunub: Any editor really, as long as you have super user privileges. [06:26] Theaxiom: Did you install openssh-server? [06:26] !ask | ghostcracker [06:26] ghostcracker: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [06:26] arvind_k: do you have a link that explains this? [06:26] ubuntunub: yes. But you'll need root privileges "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [06:26] Flannel: nope, thanks [06:26] i want a dock for my ubuntu [06:26] Theaxiom: Once you install that ssh server, it'll start by default. [06:26] one that looks like mac [06:26] Flannel: Thanks [06:26] ghost: avant-window-navigator is most of the way there [06:26] ghostcracker: cairo is the other possibility [06:27] yeah [06:27] cairo [06:27] cairo dock is prety close [06:27] Flannel: Ok thanks [06:27] ill check it [06:27] I haven't tried that one, maybe I will [06:27] Flannel: I'll have to look into it some more, the example of how to lock it doesnt really make sense [06:27] Cpudan80: just lockalternatives = true [06:28] Flannel: right, but then how do you set the password [06:28] when using lvmreduce, do I need to 'shrink' the ext3 partition first? [06:28] Cpudan80: and then set a password [06:28] Flannel: yes but how [06:28] pajamian, it was said to me in some forum... [06:28] what does "gksudo" do? [06:28] because i installed simdock from synaptic and after reboot it restart all its options so i uninstalled [06:28] # password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/ [06:28] Is what it says [06:28] but what does that even mena [06:28] Cpudan80: A few lines up. Either "# password mypassword" or #password --md5 wQERVVDFAQWEVZAF where that linenoise is the md5 hash of your password [06:29] after i configure the launchers [06:29] ubuntunub: pops up a window asking for your password, allowing you to run a program as the root user [06:29] Flannel: oh ok ok [06:29] got it [06:29] Flannel: but leave all of it commented? [06:29] arvind_k: it's just that this is the first time I have ever heard that there is any difference between running a command in the terminal vs running it in the alt-f2 run dialogue. I'm very curious to find out more as to why that is. [06:29] blitz: but i thought that was "sudo" [06:29] Cpudan80: all of it stays commented, yes. [06:30] ubuntunub: sudo doesnt pop up a window, its for terminal and console [06:30] Flannel: how do I get the md5 of the password? [06:30] Flannel: is there some md5 command? [06:30] Cpudan80: those commands are read by update-grub to generate the uncommented stuff (at the bottom) that is read by grub [06:30] ubuntunub: gksudo is the version preferred for graphical applications -- it sets up a cleaner environment that way [06:30] carandraug: i can't find which line to edit to change the resolution of the console [06:30] did u heard the news about wido i don't remenber [06:30] hello, my kernel compile errors with "rm: cannot remove `include/asm': Is a directory" when running make-kpkg clean. what is wrong and how can i get it to compile? [06:31] pajamian: probly cause you won't see error msgs using run dialog [06:31] bobertdos1: ok so whenever dealing with a GUI, use "gksudo"? [06:31] that they are going to make a new operating system [06:31] what do you guys talk about here? [06:31] call midori [06:31] ubuntunub: for instance you want to run a firewall or some application you may not have permissions to, you can't use "sudo" in the command text for the shortcut, but you can use gksudo [06:31] Hey, I could really use some HUGE help on a fresh install of Hardy tring to install a Radeon gfx card [06:31] I've tried maybe... 6 or 7 fresh installs, every tut I can find [06:31] Cpudan80: grub-md5-crypt [06:31] how to get rid of "join" / "leave" messages in IRC? and just see the conversation? thx [06:31] ubuntunub: Well, when you need root priviliges, yes. [06:31] Anyone have a chance to help me out? [06:32] ubuntunub: search near the end of the file, something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/42081/ [06:32] Flannel: right ok, so once that is all done I need to run update-grub? [06:32] windows is a disaster man [06:32] Cpudan80: yeah, that'll regenerate the menu.lst [06:32] i hate it [06:32] Can you guys at least hear me? [06:32] john_help_radeon - I just did an ubuntu install and installed a 4870 x2 driver...

[06:33] how do i get resume from S3 working? on kubuntu 8.04.1.. when I resume i get a black screen; capslock doesn't work. pm_trace doesn't even get a chance to set the rt clock [06:33] anybody familiar with server cases? [06:33] ubuntunub: then, at the of the line you'll have to add vga=XXX These numbers, depend on the resolution you want and the color depth [06:33] anyone know why id have 25+ copies of console-kit-daemon running? [06:33] Flannel: you mean in the bottom part? [06:33] Whoever recoomended that link, I've tried that twice [06:33] that's a lot of 'em [06:33] bolrog: Hardware questions belong in #ubuntu-offtopic (or some sort of hardware channel) [06:33] can somebody talk with me cause im bored and i want to talk about systems [06:33] can someone please [06:33] Cpudan80: Just anywhere that its uncommented [06:33] ??

[06:35] yres = xxxx [06:35] Bhavesh: It's a bit of a pain in the butt to configure, but it's pretty thorough.

[06:35] !info lm-sensors > brutus [06:35] brutus, please see my private message [06:35] but u can use envy if u don't have its drivers [06:35] bobertdos1 i just did 'apt-get install lm-sensors' and once it installed did sensors and i got all temperatures :) [06:35] its easy [06:35] ubuntunub: Ah, you want to change your tty resolution? Ok, do this: In your first menu.lst entry, add "vga=ask" to the end of it, reboot and select that. [06:35] Kyle, I have a Radeon x1650 Pro AGP (612MB) [06:35] 512** [06:35] to acomodate the resolution [06:36] anyone know how to troubleshoot s3 suspend? [06:36] just get in x [06:36] config [06:36] and change it [06:36] ubuntunub: It'll give you a list of a bunch of stuff, try one, see how it works, try another, etc. When you're done, remember the value that works the best for you. [06:36] ubuntunub: then you can permanently add that to your menu.lst [06:36] bobertdos1 probably because i am running on old computer [06:36] Bhavesh: Well gee, I guess I was following outdated instructions then Lp [06:36] Flannel: why not just add 1440x900 and get it over with? how can another res possibly be better? [06:37] Bhavesh: Oh, well either way........hehe [06:37] Flannel: cool! Didn't knew you could vga=ask. Always had to find out mine. [06:37] Fannel: since i'm using an LCD, and seeing more on screen would be better anyhow [06:37] ubuntunub: because it doesn't quite work that way. [06:37] is there a specific Wubi channel or can i inquire about it here? [06:37] ubuntunub: it doesn't work like that [06:37] bobertdos1 it works ;) i know what yo mean though i remember it used to be a bit pain to setup but i think new version has come long way [06:37] DaBomb: Here is fine. [06:37] unfortunately it only detects one cpu [06:37] i rly don't want to reboot right now :( [06:37] ubuntunub: that's fine, it'll wait. [06:38] !wubi | DaBomb [06:38] DaBomb: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [06:38] john_help_radeon: first, you can download the linux driver for your card from here http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html [06:38] I've done that, and I ran through the Tut's for installing it as a Binary [06:38] no issue there, etc. [06:38] But [06:38] hi I installed ubuntu about a week ago and it freezes up allot on me anybody have any suggestions ? [06:38] I get a black screen [06:38] i'm on an intel 965 mobile chipset (intel gma x3100)... am i supposed to download drivers for it in the linux environment? [06:39] im trying to figure out what the default user name that wubi sets up in the inital windows installer [06:39] ubuntunub: Yeah, Ubuntu doesn't tyrannically tell you what to do when like Windows does. [06:39] ubuntunub: you already have your drivers [06:39] How do I check what user is running apache? [06:39] i'm currently running 1440x900 @ 60Hz so everything seems fine [06:39] great... someone sent me to a guide, to hopefully get an smtp server setup to run mail() through php, and they're gone, but it doesn't work x.x; http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p5 at the part where it says to telnet localhost 25, then ehlo localhost... i see nothing [06:39] Flannel: they're already included with ubuntu, autodetect, etc? [06:39] ubuntunub: but, if you had to download them, it'd be done through package management [06:39] bender1337 try to describe at what point it freezes up what program/ what activities it may help answer your question [06:39] john - okay, that's where I had trouble at first, too - there are a couple of small command-line steps to do - nothing too difficult... [06:39] Flannel: who "makes" drivers for hardware in linux? [06:39] ubuntunub: Intel has open source drivers, so yes, your official intel drivers are included by default [06:39] Great kyle [06:40] Hey is there a chance I can get you in a private convo? [06:40] ubuntunub: a mixture of programmers who work for companies and programmers who don't work for companies. [06:40] Bhavesh, i guess when I use firefox [06:40] bombshelter13: but in general, it's all made by random nerds? [06:40] mordof: to be honest, the howtoforge line of howtos is horrible when it comes to Ubuntu [06:40] john - sure [06:41] bombshelter13: say u have hardware X with no driver support for linux from the company... what happens then? [06:41] ubuntunub: arbitrary people create it, yes. [06:41] hi all [06:41] Flannel: not quite sure what that means, lol [06:41] ubuntunub: but, those sorts of questions are best asked in #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support only [06:41] ubuntunub: no driver exists unless someone who knows how to make drivers takes an interest in that piece of hardware [06:41] mordof: Don't use howtoforge howtos. They give bad advise. [06:41] advice, even. === Charitwo is now known as sorrow [06:42] um, my cursor just turned thick and won't go back to slim, how can i make it go back? [06:42] I did a little vídeo with GTK-Record-My-desktop and the output format it OGG. and it is very big. more or less 16 MB for 4 minutes. How can I resize this move? [06:42] text cursor, not mouse cursor [06:42] I tried this line: ffmpeg -i out.ogg -s 320x240 test.mpg [06:42] i tried rightclicking, drag selecting, etc [06:42] but it don't work [06:42] Flannel: Howtoforge give bad advice?? [06:42] How do I check what user is running apache? [06:42] *doesn't [06:42] mordof: for email stuff in particular: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html may be a good choice, depending on your question. [06:43] ph0rensic: yes. [06:43] mimor: its www-data [06:43] mimor: but, that's in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [06:43] Flannel: oooh the site, k [06:43] mimor: open system monitor and look under the user column [06:43] Flannel, blitz , ok thx! [06:43] oh god! [06:43] ubuntunub: click in Insert key [06:43] Tks folks... [06:43] Flannel: Where is a better source for howto's .. only the ubuntu forums and wiki? [06:43] carandraug: thnx [06:43] All I needed is convert to AVI [06:43] im trying to figure out what the default user name that wubi sets up in the inital windows installer [06:43] XD [06:43] (duh) [06:43] blitz, hard to do on a tls (terminal) [06:44] Hey guys, is there a pack to transform ubuntu to look like windows xp or vista? [06:44] ph0rensic: Those are great choices, yes. And actually, there's little that isn't in the wiki. [06:45] Flannel: I think howtoforge isn't only for ubuntu they cover other distro's as well so they writers have experience in a wide base of distros rather than acute knowledge of just one [06:45] sebastianMck: there are a number of Windows lookalikes for linux [06:45] but they all look like crap [06:46] hi. is the suhosin patch an official part of php? i installed php in ubuntu, and it came with the suhosin patch installed. [06:46] is there a program that tell me, which program is generating traffic? apache,ftp,svn and so on, so something that is logging the traffic? [06:46] PuppyLinux has a windows-like interface that works pretty well [06:46] ph0rensic: correct, but that doesn't mean giving bad advice is acceptable. They just shouldn't try instead of breaking people's systems. [06:46] ph0rensic: Generally what I've found is that howtoforge doesn't really keep up with distro changes very well. That's the main problem. That, and some of the tutorials aren't very well written. [06:47] What is the function of the nvram module? 'modinfo nvram' does not answer this question. [06:47] Flannel: all i want is to be able to use mail(); in php... i don't know at all which one of those i need [06:47] bobertdos1: they tend to treat every distro like redhat [06:47] hey I deleted my home directory before I gave this laptop back to its owner, but now im using it again and all apps are crashing and freezing intermittently including gnome-panel and sound keeps dying in firefox... is there a script or something I can run to fix my home directory again? [06:47] um, apparently, i'm browsing my Windows files! i thought this isn't supposed to happen? [06:47] Flannel: true that :) [06:48] SubOne: not much you can do [06:48] full reinstall [06:48] ubuntunub: you can use and work with ntfs in linux [06:48] SubOne: just recreate your home directory. [06:48] blitz: i heard NTFS support is flaky in linux and its best to use a FAT32 partition for transfers [06:48] Flannel: that's what I mean I have a home directory now but I guess some of the settings are wrong or something and everything keeps crashing and freezing [06:48] ubuntunub: not anymore [06:48] blitz: or is it that Windows can't read/write Ext3? [06:48] ubuntunub: infact a good example is being able to run World of Warcraft FROM an ntfs drive thru wine.. everything works [06:48] Flannel: Tsch, that might explain why the tutorials work for Fedora, (ot, I know) [06:49] windows cant really even recognize ext3 [06:49] ubuntunub: there's capabilities for full read/write, partition create/resize/delete/move, etc on ubuntu now [06:49] mordof: FULLY bug-free? any risk of messing up any data? [06:49] there are ext3 drivers for windows [06:49] mordof: cuz i'm paranoid [06:49] you need to do everything perfect [06:49] ubuntunub: there's risk in anything you do with any partition manager. nothing with computers is ever 100% risk free [06:50] I screwed up my MBR on my first install [06:50] mordof: mail uses sendmail, so any sort of sendmail compatable thing will work, possibly even esmtp. Either of those (exim or postfix) will work fine [06:50] mordof: which sucks, since i like to think of computers as precise/perfect [06:50] ubuntunub: however i did resize my 250gb ntfs partition with gparted just fine without a format [06:50] I suppose I can create a new user and use that user to delete and recreate this user, but im worried ill mess things up further doing that [06:50] ubuntunub: I haven't had a data loss problem with ntfs .. it works well [06:50] Thanks, how do i update my firefox to firefox 3.0? im running ubuntu 7.10 [06:50] make sure to defrag your ntfs partition [06:50] first [06:50] SubOne: the programs should be getting their configuration *from* your home directory, and if there is none, they'll treat it like a normal, new user. [06:50] minimize risk of data loss [06:50] SubOne: the only thing I can think of is you're having permissions errors [06:51] ubuntunub: it does work quite well. i trust it enough not to back up my regular stuff.. just .. REALLY important stuff i back up, lol [06:51] SebastianMcK: UpdateManager i guess [06:51] just always be sure to defrag [06:51] before resizing [06:51] ubuntunub, alright thanks [06:51] yeah.. i should've done that, lol [06:51] maxtothemax: so go into Windows, and use the defrag utility? [06:51] blitz: There IS a driver that gives it the ability to read and write ext2 and 3. [06:52] Flannel: permissions errors would be caused by missing config files in my home dir and cause random crashes/freezes of all apps? [06:52] ubuntub: yes [06:52] not all at once, but every app I mean [06:52] or better yet [06:52] use jkdefrag [06:52] help: I have an error on my main PC where boot says 'Grub loading error 17" Its my fault I removed the partition that linux was on so I have stuffed up the mbr [06:52] SubOne: No, you literally *cant* be "missing" config files (unless you deleted them while you were using a program) [06:52] maxtothemax: i dont like Vista's defrag utility that much since it doesnt actually show me a GUI representation of what its doing, so i feel like its doing nothing [06:52] SubOne: A fresh user has *no* config files, and if you delete all your config files, you just become a fresh user again, and no programs know otherwise. [06:52] Flannel: well I deleted my whole home dir [06:52] Help; any concur use fixmbr command or would I lose everything on that drive?? [06:52] ic [06:53] SubOne: and then you recreated it, right? and its permissions are 755? [06:53] well no permissions have changed [06:53] sec... [06:53] ubuntunub: linux needs no defrag, just so you know :P [06:53] SubOne: user:user 755, right? (that's drwxr-xr-x) [06:54] Help: the pc should be booting up on Windows as thats on the primary drive and linux was on another drive but the boot record was modified by grub [06:54] drwxr-xr-x 50 subone subone 4096 2008-08-30 23:53 subone [06:54] blitz: serious? why? [06:54] alistair do you only want windows or do you want a dual boot still? [06:54] !defrag > ubuntunub [06:54] ubuntunub, please see my private message [06:54] ubuntunub: just cause it's that pro, lol [06:54] !defrag >mordof [06:54] mordof, please see my private message [06:54] SubOne: And /etc/passwd has /home/subone right? not like SubOne or anything? [06:54] xD [06:55] ph0rensic, I just want to get back to windows primarily because that drive has all my work on it. === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [06:55] mordof: just why can't Windows be made to pwn this hard? i mean, they're paid programmers... [06:55] ubuntunub: microsoft.... >.> [06:55] ubuntunub: Please take non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:55] subone:x:1001:1001:subone,,,,:/home/subone:/bin/zsh [06:55] alistair: but with grub you can start windows. ALso, you can access your windows files from grub [06:55] ubuntunub: If you go there, I'd be happy to discuss that issue with you :D [06:56] What is the function of the nvram module? 'modinfo nvram' does not answer this question. [06:56] no the grub is canning out because I killed the partition on the second drive which had linux [06:56] alistair: Well you can edit the grub by hand to only have the config for your windows partition, but I think easiest way is to reinstall linux on the same partition and let grub fix it for you [06:56] SubOne: alright, so everything there is fine. What sorts of issues are you having exactly? Try creating a new user, and see if they experience the same ones [06:56] bullgard: wikipedia or google is very much your very good friend [06:57] ph0rensic, I need to modify the boot - is the grub the boot? [06:57] bootloader [06:57] yes it is [06:57] it's a good one too [06:57] you got it [06:57] 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart' produces 'No apache MPM package installed' :s can someone help? lol [06:57] ok but that could take a while, I could be using the laptop all day and then all of a sudden firefox will crash, or pidgin will crash or ill try to shutdown and gnome-panel will crash and I have to switch to a vetrtual terminal to shutdown [06:57] hey guys, whats the best protocol for transferring things to multiple people at the same time over lan? samba is ridiculously slow. [06:57] mordof: do you have apache2 installed? [06:57] Flannel: yeah... [06:57] Flannel: it was through trying to get that last guide thing that you said sucked to work, lol -.-; [06:58] Flannel: evidence that it did suck pretty bad i guess [06:58] mordof: Maybe I should take a look at what it did then [06:58] Help: I had two drives one with primary windows which I left alone, and 2nd with windows data and a partition for linux. I deleted the linux partition and now the grub is throwing its handbag down [06:58] You know what sucks pretty bad is automatix.. is that still around? [06:58] you'll need to install grub to the mbr [06:59] Help: the primary Windows is also the boot drive [06:59] this might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=905103 [06:59] ph0rensic, it's discontinued. [06:59] slightly different problem but similar [06:59] Flannel: i did everything it said.. then when it didn't work, i did sudo apt-get remove all the packages it listed to install, and removed the directorys it said to make... >.> [06:59] elkbuntu: Thank GOD! [06:59] hey guys, whats the best protocol for transferring things to multiple people at the same time over lan? samba is ridiculously slow. [06:59] ph0rensic, yeah. [07:00] tsukasa: [07:00] try nfs [07:00] tsukasa_, depends on the OS;s used.. NFS is faster for linux/unix machines [07:00] any way to literally save all my currently open apps, so that when i Restart, it will load the apps back (IRC channels and all)? [07:00] mordof: Is this a fresh install by any chance? [07:00] dr_Willis: host is linux, clients are windows [07:00] Don't know how well it'll work for communicating w/Windows [07:00] worth a shot [07:00] ubuntunub: look into your system -> preferences -> sessions [07:01] likely will require more configurement but nfs might run faster [07:01] tsukasa_, looks like you are stuck with samba, or find a nfs client stuff for windows. ( i hear some exist, but i ve never used them) [07:01] Flannel: well.. it basically is. i installed it a while ago, like.. several months. but all i did was install apache/php/mysql, and added another user to it. it's just been sitting there hosting my stuff since [07:01] Flannel: openssh is on there and configured as well. it's been running perfect up until that last guide ; ; [07:02] mordof: Can you back up your homedir and /var/www and reinstall? If you have lamp and ssh installed, and that's it, it'll be faster to reinstall that (and not wonder what other damage that guide did) than to try and sort out the mess it made. If not, we should be able to get it working again with a little bit of work just fine. [07:03] Flannel: well :s i'm sort of on a deadline for this website i'm doing.. as in i needed to have it done yesturday >.< heh. but i need to test out a part that requires mail().. [07:03] help: when using the livecd and installing ubuntu - the partition it is going to use is the orange colored one is this correct? [07:04] mordof: Alright, that's fine. Lets just double check we have apache installed: sudo apt-get install apache2 [07:04] Flannel: if we could get it working temporarily at least until i can get a chance to do a full reinstall.. i'd reinstall ubuntu as soon as i got the time [07:04] I have created a new logical volume and added the return value of vol_id to /etc/fstab, but when I try to mount it, I get the error: mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/55a209a2-81f3-4f16-b47e-9079ad8483a1 does not exist [07:04] Flannel: the /etc/init.d/apache2 is still there, and apache is still running. [07:04] Flannel: i can access my websites still [07:04] what do I have to do to have /dev/mapper/mainvg-data should up in /dev/disk/by-uuid? [07:04] Flannel: oh.. crap.. maybe not ; ; [07:04] mordof: Oh... that's... special. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop, and then try again. [07:05] Flannel: wow, alright.. it did remove apache completely -.-; [07:05] wow [07:05] i'm shocked.. [07:05] ok, it's reinstalled [07:05] after installing Ubuntu a few months ago, I am having more fun with a pc than i have had in a long time [07:05] mordof: good, since I was running out of ideas :) [07:06] flannel: php5 was also removed..... [07:06] mordof: just throwing it out there but I couldnt get my webserver working to public access until I changed the port, some ISPs naturally block port 80 .. probobly not the issue you're having tho [07:06] mordof: Actually, do this: tasksel and then check LAMP server and Mail server. [07:06] blitz: i broke into my modem to remove that restriction and made the modem 8080 instead, lol [07:06] mordof: That all might work out of the box (well, sudo tasksel) [07:07] mordof: ok sweet [07:07] flannel: omg... i hope it didn't remove mysql [07:07] flannel: i didn't have that backed up..... [07:07] I am trying to run gs to combine some pdfs together, I have 103 pdfs to join. gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=newfile.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf....file103.pdf etc. will work. Is there a faster way to list the files to join aside from typing all 103 manually? [07:07] anyone know whats p with linuxscrew.com? [07:07] mordof: It won't remove the databases, just the binaries [07:07] ahh i'm saved, it left mysql alone ; ; [07:08] mordof: and the global configuration if your purge it [07:08] mordof: basically, the package managers only remove what they install. [07:08] Flannel: so if i install the lamp server, will it run off my databases that are there now? [07:09] mordof: yeah, assumign you already have LAMP installed, that selection won't do much, if anything. [07:09] Flannel: i didn't use a lamp install [07:09] mordof: but its a good way to verify we haven't missed something accidentally. [07:09] Flannel: i did everything individually [07:09] mordof: that is a LAMP install [07:09] everyone everyone [07:09] ok, so what do i install specifically? [07:09] mordof: package management is a wonderful thing :) [07:09] mordof: just check lamp and mail, and see if it works. [07:10] you mean apt-get install lamp mail ? [07:10] mordof: no, sudo tasksel, then pick LAMP server and mail server [07:10] * mordof is confused. [07:10] Hey Ckyle where are ya? [07:11] john_help_radeon - hey [07:11] Flannel: ah, lamp was already selected [07:11] ya ok? [07:11] flannel: ok done [07:11] didn't work bro [07:11] mordof: because you have all of the pieces apparently (again, package management is wonderful) [07:11] i want config uboot for i386. sc520_spunk or sc520_cdp. how do i understand? [07:11] shoot me a PM [07:11] mordof: alright, now restart apache, and see if mail() works [07:11] don't know how... [07:11] i want config uboot for i386. sc520_spunk or sc520_cdp. how do i understand? [07:11] start a conv like last time...

[07:13] corigo: whats the error? and is it in burning or running the disk?

[07:14] Flannel: how can i get my sound working in my base install. i also have hardy full installation which is working absolutely fine . [07:15] wols: I know that.

[07:16] bereta50: did you install windows? [07:16] [07:16] wols: Your message " access said nvram" is too short to be comprehensible. Please elaborate. [07:16] fire122: you're still there? You've finished burning the CD? You checked for defects? [07:17] I press 'M" it comes out "0" , but only after I log in ? I can type my username/password fine, but after that the layout gets messed up somehow [07:17] Flannel: sendmail: fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option [07:17] in the apache2 error log [07:17] bereta50: What do you mean can't see the grub menu? [07:17] how come when i change my desktop theme, it doesn't always change fully? [07:17] blitz: burning. After each ISO download and burn it fails on File1 written file doesn't match the source [07:17] not exactly i reinstalled grub because i restored the windows MBR here is a forum thread [07:17] mordof: Did you specify a recipient in php? [07:17] Flannel: yeah [07:17] or takes forever to change, or just gets bugged [07:18] corigo: could be the burning program or your drive itself.. hard to say [07:18] !Cedega [07:18] cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega [07:19] how do i set a server to obtain its ip through dhcp? [07:19] mordof: hmm, You'll need to try "sendmail" out in a terminal, see if that works. [07:19] Flannel: how do i do that? lol. sorry - i've never worked with sendmail at all [07:20] It also appears that the MD5s do not match [07:20] er.. right, man page [07:20] Does anyone know what is wrong with cdimage.ubuntu.com? I was half way through downloading something and it stopped, now the site appears to be down? [07:20] my goal is to install ubuntu on a external drive and not afect the windows drive or its MBR [07:20] mordof: Nor have I, but lets see what google nets us. We actually should probably move this discussion (since its turning into one) to #ubuntu-offtopic, and spare this channel with our banter. [07:21] bolrog: you edit /etc/network/interfaces [07:21] bereta50: Try these: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installing%20on%20external%20or%20RAID%20hard%20disks [07:21] Or at least is doesn't match on my last download, the first does. Guess I'll try burning that one again, if I have any more media... [07:21] anyone know why id have 25+ copies of console-kit-daemon running? [07:23] Nope, no blank CDs left only DVDs. Which means downloading yet another ISO [07:23] Is lonuxmint supported in this channel? [07:24] A few hours ago I was fooling around with my advanced settings for compiz fusion, and ever since I've fooled around with it my installation hasn't been the same. What should I uninstall to see if it works? [07:24] ccsm? [07:25] J-_: kind need to know whats different [07:25] kinda* [07:26] hey [07:26] BonezAU: you can try to download with the torrent. I've downloaded the iso before in less than 20min with the torrent [07:27] blitz: I only had text windows appearing. no emerald, no "file, edit" etc in gnome terminal. [07:27] thanks wols [07:27] fire122: hi! So, how did it went? Also, if you don't get the nick right, I still won't be warned. Use autocomplete (tab in xchat) [07:27] blitz: Then I tried to restart, and my desktop isn't loading [07:27] Just the background [07:28] J-_: sounds like you turned off borders [07:28] /cl [07:28] blitz: emerald --replace? [07:28] no [07:28] J-_: is the "window Decoration" box checked in your ccsm? [07:28] blitz: I can't get there to check. [07:29] I'm sure it is/ was. [07:29] hmm "gtk-window-decorator --replace" may help [07:29] Gnome isn't even starting proper. I have no panels [07:29] Can anyone tell me if I need a different ISO to burn a DVD installer disk? [07:29] Chatting in a tty right now. [07:30] J-_: if you run ccsm in the terminal you'll get there [07:30] what ATI chip is the ATI Radeon 1650 Pro based on? [07:30] trying to work on driver issue [07:30] corigo, there are dvd iso image files.. then cd iso image files.. You dont gain much by using the dvd. [07:30] * J-_ tries [07:31] dr_Willis I am out of CD's and only have DVDs. [07:31] J-_: I personally dont know of a way to sed all compiz settings to default, but someone in here probobly does [07:31] carandraug: What's the command to start it? [07:31] compiz-config-settings-manager? [07:31] Alright kyle.. [07:31] corigo, you are going to download 4x the data you need. it dosent matter. just a a bit of a time waster [07:31] What is the function of the nvram module? 'modinfo nvram' does not answer this question. [07:32] J-_: to start the compiz setting manager is ccsm [07:32] bullgard4, egads.. you still exploring that thing? You have looked at the kernel soruce for it perhaps? [07:32] hey john... [07:32] anyone know why id have 25+ copies of console-kit-daemon running? [07:32] We made progress this time! [07:32] is it possible to mount a usb camera and read it like a drive..? [07:32] Yeah, I can't start it in another tty. [07:32] J-_: got an idea tho, if you can get to gnome, even see the wallpaper, try and do an Alt-F2 and run "metacity --replace" [07:33] nnull: do they come back after you kill them? [07:33] Nope doesn't work [07:33] bereta50: a grub> prompt while booting means that stage1 (the part in your MBR) can't find stage1.5 or stage2 (basically, can't find your menu.lst) [07:33] outbriber, havent dared to kill them [07:33] j-_: the window not come up? or the command didnt work [07:33] they might be for something i need [07:34] dr_Willis yes, well it has already been 2 weeks trying to get a decent backup with a LiveCD (Any live cd) and a CD installer that will install... so any more time wasted is only par for the course [07:34] Hey I need some help! [07:34] i dont seem to be alone thank god http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3600578 [07:34] We've gotten much farther, NOW I am having issues with a white screen after login with my Radeon [07:35] fire122: so??? [07:35] blitz: window didn't come up. Brb, just removed ccsm [07:35] dr_Willis: I have made considerable progress. Using this module, I am able to peek into the contents of my CMOS RAM. I even got an idea what the function of this module is. But I do not want to prejudice ant thus I am not telling. I grepped the kernel Documentation for 'nvram' and got > 30 hits. It takes much time to scrutinize all of them. [07:36] and [07:37] bullgard4, as long as you are having fun I guess.. :) [07:38] Hi all. I have a question please. I got all msgs printed during boot (not silent). I want boot process to pause on every error or warning. Second, after login, I want to be able to switch to console (Alt+Ctrl+F1) and scroll up all msgs (Right now, after login, if I switch to console I am able to scroll up only one screen). Anyone who can advice or who have similar setup of boot process? Or any hints? Is it part of /etc/init.d scripts (I am not really sure t [07:38] Im still having issues guys. Like I said, I boot up to login now, and THEN I get a white screen, however, fglrxinfo is still saying I have the MESA drivers?? [07:39] hi, can anyone tell me how I can set a directory for a python script to use as the default in a console command? [07:40] how to make Conky rss feeds, linkable? [07:40] mmm4m5m: I'd like to scrollup all these start-up messages too. It seems to be impossible in Ubuntu 8.04.1 due to Upstart. [07:41] ce-IMOUT [07:42] fire122: I really have to go (it's almost 8:00AM here). Hope you don't find any problems during the next installation [07:42] bullgard4: thanks for answer. About the other question? If I post feature request, to which part these two belong? (to upstart or something else). Did you ever had a case when you see a msg and after that this warning/error msg is missing in all log files? [07:43] is it possible to mount a usb camera and read it like a drive..? [07:43] What are the best permissions for /var/www? 774 or 665 ? [07:44] ah.... PWD=[directory] [07:44] why are there so few debug symbol packages? [07:44] are we meant to make our own? [07:45] Yep, still the same problem. I've removed ccsm, but the cube is still acting weird, No desktop. I can't middle click and the cube is still present [07:46] How can I reconfigure compiz-fusion? [07:46] mmm4m5m: It is difficult to understand you. What do you mean by "the other question": 'I want boot process to pause on every error or warning.' or what? -- I do not understand your sentence: " If I post feature request, to which part these two belong?" [07:47] bleh [07:47] hello, how do I change the subtitles color in Totem? [07:48] bullgard4: sorry, could be my English :). Yes, the other question is "how to make it pause on every warning/error". I have basic knowledge of linux, that is why I am asking "how to fix/customize it", "which binary/package/script is executed during boot process", "which one I have to look closer and try to customize" (or post it as future request, maybe someone will find it useful and implement it) [07:50] can anyone tell me why i don't see any options in grub when i boot my computer [07:50] after installing samba in order to share my directories, do I need to log out and then log in again? [07:50] how do i do a ln -s boot ./. ? [07:50] bereta50: can your grub find its root drive? [07:50] fransman: what is your purpose in doing that? [07:51] fransman: I guess you do it ln -s boot . [07:51] fransman: what are you trying to do? [07:51] fransman: also, you need to use sudo at the beginning [07:52] fransman: what are you trying to achieve? [07:52] Tarandus: i dont know i dont think so, how can i tell, all i get is a grub> when i boot of that perticular HDD [07:52] boot is a partition and if he wants to look into boot as a directory in want a link to boot [07:52] Bleh, this sucks :( [07:53] Any idea where I can find a DVD ISO to download [07:53] Myrtti: I've seen such links here and there, but can't understand their purpose either [07:53] like boot -> . [07:53] corigo: from Ubuntu's homepage [07:53] corigo: it is the ubuntu.com not ubuntu.org [07:53] corigo: where are you located?

[07:56] bereta50: in the grub-config you can enable or disable the view for the menu [07:56] bereta50: there is a way to password protect the menu, but if grub is installed, the menu will always appear if you press a key at the right moment [07:57] Tarandus: im thinking that he menu is somehow disabled [07:57] bereta50: /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:57] DIFH-iceroot: im looking at that right now [07:58] hello world [07:58] corigo: http://nginyang.uvt.nl/hardy/ [07:59] DIFH-iceroot: or does anyone know when i could find an example of what the menu.lst should look like [07:59] anyway... to get samba working, do I need to log out and then log in after installing it?

[08:02] bereta50: I mean, is there an installed linux system now in your machine that you are trying to fix? [08:02] bereta50: if there is, then you need to mount it and be able to chroot into it [08:03] Tarandus: yes there is ...on my external drive [08:03] but its root drive is not mounted at the moment? [08:04] bullgard4, legend2440: if you are interested, someone advice me to: put "cat /dev/vcs1 >> /path/to/file " it inside /etc/init.d scripts [08:04] Tarandus: i mounted it to /boot/ [08:04] bereta50: well, I think you shouldn't [08:04] bereta50: mount it to /target/ [08:04] Tarandus: whre should i mount it [08:04] hello [08:04] bereta50: do you have a separate boot partition?

[08:14] well... it depends on your boot partition [08:14] which one is it [08:14] hello can someone help me... i want to do something but i cant... :) [08:14] hello. I want to use a CF-Card via PCMCIA, however in xubuntu 8.04 it is properly loaded on the LiveCD and on the installed system nothing happens. I loaded all required modules for pata_pcmcia, did a reset with pccardctl, no kernel messages no pccardctl status, nothing. Cause for this? [08:15] Tarandus: hd1,0 [08:15] bereta50: and the root partition is?

[08:16] lesshaste: AFAIK no, because it wants to add the package into its database in /var [08:16] Tarandus: ok done [08:16] lesshaste: it is therefore not possible to install it, but unpacking does work [08:17] Tarandus, ok.. so you can't ask it not to do that? I just want to avoid having to compile things [08:17] Tarandus, ah...how do you unpack it? [08:17] lesshaste: I have no idea... it's been a long time since I last came upon that command... it is dpkg-something [08:17] Tarandus, ok thanks.. unpacking is what I want [08:17] !info gdebi [08:17] gdebi (source: gdebi): Simple tool to install deb files.

I, for example, do not have an internal speaker - thus no beeps [08:21] rockwellgump: maybe sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and adding pcspkr? [08:21] Tarandus: thank you, so replace dev with my sdb1, right? [08:21] bereta50: no [08:21] wont change till next boot tho [08:21] do i need to install windows 1st before i use wine to play windows game?

[08:28] blitz: so just the game program and run it? [08:29] mamoru_new_here: you can navigate through the .wine directory and run .exe files directly [08:29] ow okay [08:29] thx [08:29] Tarandus: ok just ran the 3 mount commands now what do I chroot into, and how? [08:30] mamoru_new_here: certain programs can be run from a windows install, but not all of them [08:30] bereta50: chroot /target/ [08:30] blitz: mostly game can run? hoping they can use directx 10 :D [08:30] bereta50: you should appear as the root user of the system you installed on your external drive [08:30] i want to dual boot with xp and ubuntu. i have xp and ubuntu installed on seperate partitions, i want to have the option of choosing what os to run on startup [08:31] rockwellgump: what does it do now? [08:31] mamoru_new_here: not likely.. linux does not play most windows games, especially newer ones well [08:31] bereta50: once there, run update-grub [08:31] it boots in xp automatically unless i tell it to boot from ubuntu disc [08:31] mamoru_new_here: there are some designed platform-independent like neverwinter nights or world of warcraft, that will work perfect though [08:31] Nelson_Apart: iirc you can run vimtutor in any xterm [08:32] Tarandus: i get this when i run chroot chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory [08:32] Tarandus: it boots in xp automatically unless i tell it to boot from ubuntu disc [08:32] bereta50: try cd /target/ [08:33] bereta50: then type ls [08:33] blitz: i still like neverwinter tho.. i stick with it for a while. so there is any program can run games? i found 1 name C.. something but i must pay for it :D [08:33] bereta50: how many files and directories are there? [08:33] is there any IDE for gtk theme? [08:33] What is the function of the nvram module? 'modinfo nvram' does not answer this question. [08:33] Tarandus: 4 directoryes [08:33] bereta50: what are they called? [08:34] mamoru_new_here: games are not generally playable because I believe of the directX code not being open source [08:34] Tarandus: boot, dev, proc, sys [08:34] pen: widgetfactory [08:34] am I able to run Office 2007 Home and Student edition with wine? [08:34] Rat409, that is not a IDE [08:35] Rat409, and it doesn't make theming easier [08:35] bereta50: it seems you did not mount the / filesystem then [08:35] blitz: ic ic... hope there is an open source directx soon :D so linux will took ove the other os [08:35] bereta50: you need to unmount all those four, then try again mounting the / filesystem from your external drive to /target/ [08:35] mamoru_new_here, directx is the only reason I have windows installed [08:36] Tarandus: im lost, [08:36] Tarandus: lol [08:36] bereta50: there should appear about 15 directory names inside /target/ when that happens [08:36] blitz: install windows with wine? [08:37] mamoru_new_here, no theres no need to ever do that [08:37] mamoru_new_here, you can choose when you boot which OS to enter if you set everything up correctly [08:37] can someoen tell me how to put the trashbin on my desktop? [08:37] Tarandus: so mount the whole external drive to target ? and then mount the 3 thing to the external drive ? === ce_jomblo_17 is now known as ce_cute_17^_^ [08:38] bereta50: yes... I mean, not the whole drive, but the root partition of your installed linux system [08:38] blitz: dual boot? i was thinking that wat dual booting 2 os in 2 hdd [08:38] ce_cute_17^-^ : apa kabar? org indo kah? [08:39] mamoru_new_here, you dont nessicarily need 2 hard drives if you have the space, just 2 OS partitions [08:39] Tarandus: dint i mount the whole thing to boot?

[09:33] I found a glitch in ubuntu. When trying to SSH or use SCP to my mac from Ubuntu, I just get back to myself since both my computers go the same username [09:33] I'm back - yes I can toggle-the Caps-Lock fine when it's frozen... and my IRC was still showing the conversations going on... seemed to have frozen my mouse or something... [09:33] I think my ubuntu has a problem with USB (in general, not just mouse); When usb device connected for X (where X can be almost any time from startup) amount of time, the usb device will die. How would one go about fixing this. I encounter it frequently with my usb mouse. It is not an X problem because X is understanding my ps2 mouse, it is not a problem with my mouse's hardware. Does ubuntu reload usb if it dies? [09:34] Iradieh: what ??? explain that again and show me the command your using [09:34] Acer ALTOS Pentium dual processor 1995 81 meg ram [09:34] Chro42: ok - and your trying to run ubuntu 8.04 on it ?? [09:34] SCSI bus on board [09:34] yes [09:34] Chro42: that board is too old, its lacking ram [09:34] ikonia: Nevermind... it was the DNS. I am using No-ip for DNS. and I got two different accounts and two differents adresses, and yet it still ssh to itself [09:34] Chro42: you'll need some specific boot options to get it to boot [09:35] really it was a linux box before [09:35] ikonia - the caps-lock toggles fine when it's frozen and the IRC still shows new conversation... it just seems to freeze the mouse... [09:35] did any1 worked on Ubiguity before [09:35] It works with local IP [09:35] cyzie: ok - so ubuntu stays alive [09:35] Chro42: each new release moves forward and certain features/functions will be dropped [09:35] so what toggles will work [09:36] cyzie: can you use for example the arrow keys, or the alt keys to navigate around ? [09:36] Chro42: what ? === mrglinu[X] is now known as mrgliinux [09:37] what toggles would be needed to get it to work [09:37] Chro42: bottom line is, you don't have enough ram / new enough system to meet the minimum support requirements to run ubuntu 8.04 [09:38] oh wish linux version would have a Hardware Page [09:38] is it safe to modify /etc/sudoers so I don't supply a password every time I sudo? or would that be stupid? [09:38] Chro42: it does [09:38] I have gotten several so far and this looked the most promising [09:38] ckyle: Why do you want to not use a password? [09:38] lazy [09:38] Chro42: it also has a minimum system requirements on the main site if you look [09:38] ckyle: Then yes, that would be stupid.

Nothing to do with ubuntu [09:39] and RISC is better then Intel needs less to do more processing [09:39] or i'll be kicking myself later [09:39] Chro42: don't care, thats not on topic for this support channel [09:40] RISC Port is needed for this distro [09:40] Chro42: please stop [09:40] Chro42: debian has a version that runs on PA RISC [09:40] Chro42: it is not on topic for this channel [09:40] someone know where i can get the S2 High End XMMS skin? [09:40] a co takhle cesky? [09:40] if i want an application to start on startup, should i include its path in /etc/rc.local ? [09:41] linuX|xl00p: google for it [09:41] wols: really do u have a link [09:41] ikonia: i did [09:41] cesky? nyet? [09:41] ikonia: Every Ubuntu distribution is delivered with a kernel. Without a kernel a Ubuntu distribution would not function.

Ubuntu is not your personal guide to "linux" ubuntu is for ubuntu support requests, not generic linux help/questions [09:42] linuX|xl00p: it's not #ubuntu's job to provide skin finding functions [09:42] Thanks [09:42] ikonia: i was asking if someone have it. [09:42] I'd suggest gnome-look.org for any kind of skin or theme ... [09:43] ikonia: but you started with googleing. [09:43] they seem to have lots of just about everything [09:43] ikonia: providing sock finding functions would be really awesome tho [09:43] zcat[1]: not aware of xmms skins on there [09:43] wols: I'll request it [09:43] (my question was not generic if that is why you didn't pay attention to it (or maybe it just wasn't noticed, not trying to offend anyone), it is Ubuntu Specific (custom compiled Gentoo always works)) [09:43] ikonia: thanks. will be forever grateful [09:44] ahhh.. xmms skins are compatable with winamp skins I think... [09:44] lmartin92: You might have better luck filing a bug about it. [09:44] can someone please tell me a good linuxprogram for adding/embedding .srt files into avi files? [09:44] lmartin92: does dmesg tell you anything interesting when it dies? [09:44] wait a sec [09:44] lmartin92: it sounds like a kernel bug [09:44] lmartin92: also, does disconnecting and reconnecting the mouse help when it dies? [09:45] Tarandus: reconnecting fails (unless it worked the second before) [09:46] Tarandus: I'm not using a usb mouse right now because it fails too much and I have a ps2 one [09:46] lmartin92: and you need to reboot the machine to have the USB mouse working again? [09:46] every time [09:46] lmartin92, if you are running with a power supply that is almost topped out on wattage it can cause power isuues with usb devices that exactly mimic your situation [09:46] hmmmm, making progress. the 'persistent' usb boot drops me into busybox. also I want two partitions, the first will be ntfs with windows floss and the second/third will be a USB ubuntu. [09:46] blitz: this works fine on Gentoo [09:47] blitz: can't be a usb power outage [09:47] But I've made progress .. an hour ago it was not booting at all..! [09:47] lmartin92, ok [09:47] is there a way to detect power though (maybe ubuntu uses more power?) [09:47] no [09:48] lmartin92: unless you try running some stress tests and see if you can cause it to fail that way [09:48] lmartin92, I can reproduce it by plugging in more devices without an externally powered usb hub.. some devices will shut off or screw up [09:48] lmartin92: cpuburn, or just running many instances of glxgears or yes [09:48] Tarandus: the best way to make my mouse fail is to twirl it around about 600 times [09:49] hey, curious thing with my laptop.. If I plug in a USB mouse after it's already powered up, it doesn't seem to see it. The mouse lights up though, and any other USB device is just fine this way. And if I use my USB PC card the mouse is fine with that. Anybody got any insight in this? [09:50] zcat[1], wireless mouse? [09:50] zcat[1]: does the mouse work with any other machine or system? [09:50] I have 2 or 3 usb interfaces (each are on different connectors to the mb), one is on a sd card thing, the other is about 2 to 3 front side usb ports to the usb mb connector (includes firewire ports too), and the other is usb that is directly on mb; all 3 fail all times === furbob is now known as bob [09:50] no, plain old USB .. and more than one, any mouse at all behaves this way. [09:50] who [09:51] and they all work fines if I boot with the mouse plugged in, even if I later remove it and plug in a different mouse I think.. === bob is now known as Guest83908 [09:51] weird, huh? [09:51] http://smacbook.zapto.org:8080/CDC4F/Picture_3.png [09:52] blitz: when mouse fails, it still has power (the laser still on) [09:53] kinda sucks that I can't plug in a usb mouse and have it work, but it's hardly a show-stopper [09:53] lmartin92, I can only suggest you invest in an externally powered hub if you find out its a power issue.. check your logs when the mouse dies off and see if you notice anything [09:53] ok [09:53] lmartin92, then it isnt power issue [09:53] I thought it wasn't [09:53] when my usb devices fail they lose power too [09:54] hi there [09:54] ok this is weird. my saitek mouse stays lit but won't work. the logitech one blinks just a tiny bit and won't work. ;) [09:54] blitz: everytime I do this it goes from working like 2 hours, then reboot, 1 hour, next 30 min, next fails at startup; but then it works again on resetting xorg.conf [09:55] lmartin92, long shot, but maybe its a bad mouse? [09:55] hello? [09:55] anyone here? [09:55] lmartin92, reproducible with a different mouse would be a good test [09:55] blitz: tried 2 different usb mice [09:55] yes theres 1229 peopl here. [09:55] lmartin92, whats the log say? [09:55] hey guys [09:56] hmmmm.. I'm gonna try this from the live CD cos it used to work. I wonder if it's an xorg bug? [09:56] hi havoc [09:56] The Ubuntu logo and loading bar suddenly disspeared for me [09:56] any idea how to get it back? [09:56] blitz: I'm not using usb right now, I'm using ps2 because it's hard not to use mouse when you're used to it (and keyboard mouse fails to satisfy) [09:57] I can acess log from yesterday when I used usb though, so let me see [09:57] lmartin92, I found that a conky setup with syslog data helps greatly when you have a hardware issue, ok [09:58] blitz: ok...... I usually don't play around with logs unless I suspect someone having used my computer [09:58] there are many log file of virtualbox in my user directory .What should I do? [09:59] lmartin92, if something is connected, disconnected, segfaults or anything itll be in the log, its a great tool for fixing issues like this === gh is now known as Guest37236 [09:59] blitz: the last 4 messages say: Aug 31 03:54:54 lmartin92-dev kernel: [ 6037.431345] usb 2-6: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7; the 7 can be replaced with me plugging in 1000's of times [09:59] blitz: I see that in the log [10:00] how do I switch from Swfdec to Gnash? do I just uninstall Swfdec and let firefox ask again which one to install?

If I mount a Windows share folder on my system, say under /home/me/windows, if I backup /home/me, will all files in the Windows share be backed up as well?

I'd prefer not to :-) [10:01] lmartin92, your ps2 mouse has no issues right? [10:01] yme: yes [10:02] yme, then mount a smaller dir ^^ but it should backup anything [10:02] there are many log files of virtualbox in my home directory .What should I do? [10:02] Has anyone else's rxvt-unicode been unable to set a background pixmap? Mine's been broken since I updated to Ubuntu8. [10:03] wols, Twinity, this is what I would not like, also because my Windows system is not up all the time (actually is down most of the time, hehe). So I thought I'd put the share under /mnt/windows. Is that a secure location? [10:03] lmartin92, goto System -> administration -> System log -- scroll to the bottom of the messages kernel, plug in the usb device as well without disconnecting the ps2, and attempt to fail it if you can [10:03] oops *messages log [10:03] yme, better then your home-directory ;) [10:03] Twinity, wols, thanks.

[10:10] blitz: yes, and replug ps2 mouse works for some odd reason (was expected to fail) [10:11] blitz: I've also seen that message I gave you before (when I was trouble shooting on my own) [10:11] lmartin92, well -110 as far as I know is a general error, there is some communication issue between the ubuntu kernel and your USB device [10:11] blitz: does it sound like my mouse is having problem [10:11] lmartin92, well you said you tried 2 mice? [10:12] blitz: I tried 2 mice about a day ago, not today, same failure (did not record log error) [10:12] ok after not being able to install xp on it's own partition i completely repartitioned my entire hd, wiping it clear of ubuntu and formatting it to NTFS, however i am still getting the error "unknown disk" when i try to install xp... blitz, i know you already helped me out earlier, so does anyone else know how to fix this? otherwise my laptop is a brick until i reinstall ubuntu... [10:13] lmartin92, if 2 mice give you that same error, then its gotta be something with the kernel or your actual usb port [10:13] well, it's still detecting usb, so usb is working; this works same on multiple usb ports [10:14] lmartin92, you got any other usb devices? like keybords, a camera, etc [10:14] (camera...... phone, that's about it) [10:14] blitz: need help on gimp, every time gimp image editor started there's 2 pannel, the gimp panel, and the other one. i accidently close the other on and i cant show it up. can u tell me how [10:14] mamoru_new_here, there should be a "window" menu or the like.. lemme check it out [10:15] how can I automaticly set hdparm -B to 254??

[10:42] blitz: yeah but it shows disk usage per file/folder which is useful for deleting files not programs... most linux programs seems to be spread out all over the system in /usr/bin, /usr/lib and whatnot so it's impossible to understand what program takes up much space by using the disk analyzer (which is otherwise a great tool for deleting big files etc ofc) [10:42] blitz, yes - crc -error. But there are many good files in it. I can see it in the folder that is deleted suddently after the error. message.

[10:56] hiii all [10:56] qmunke: connecting / disconnecting drives trying to solve a grub problem is not a good idea as it will/can change the device order [10:56] anybody here [10:56] Guest36040: yes, imap will allow you to keep your messages on the server so no matter what OS/machine your on your mail folders are in sync [10:56] avengery: over a 1000 people [10:56] ikonia: yeah just ran fdisk and realised this, now read as sda instead of sdc [10:56] how may i get that imap [10:56] qmunke: I suggest you put your disks in how you want them - then start debugging [10:57] Guest36040: check your mail server supports imap [10:57] Guest36040: contact the person who runs your mail server [10:57] is there any linux prog for cell phone like nokia supporting bluetooth ? [10:57] avengery: gnokii [10:57] blitz: im dual booting so I got 50GB for linux... and since I've started to use linux way more than windows I also got a lot of photos etc stored on the linux partition... while disk analyzer can tell me I got a lot of photos I dont want to delete my photos of course... while learning linux I've also been install A LOT of different programs for different things just to find out what is the best drawing program, what is the best browser etc... so now I h [10:57] ikonia: i'm good with a single disk for now, would you recommend just re-installing rather than attempting to configure manually? [10:58] ok thanks [10:58] qmunke: no - I'd strongly suggesst put your disks in - then fix it, as soon as you put disks in a a later date you'll have issues [10:58] can postfix receive emails? if yes, how do i read them [10:58] compengi: yes, postfix is a mail server [10:58] compengi: how you read them will depend on what delivery agent you use [10:59] is there any VNC server application for ubuntu ? [10:59] Jackiz: vnc [10:59] blitz: it's recognized as a USB optical mouse now, works, now waiting for failure [10:59] ikonia: where can i get it [10:59] Jackiz: the ubuntu repos - same as all ubuntu packaged software [10:59] ikonia: i don't need the other disks and won't be adding any in future, this is a short/medium term install and the exisitng disk will be more than enough to be going on with. [10:59] ikonia, i use it corrently on my website to send automated emails [10:59] ok, i will look again. could not fins it first time :s [11:00] qmunke: if you've not messed with / installed anything on your system, then it's quicker/easier/safer to just re-install [11:00] compengi: sending mails and reciving mails are two different things [11:00] ikonia: okay, will do , thanks! [11:00] mnemo, because linux has no issues really with storing files on a fat32 or ntfs, you dont even need so large a partition really. I store everything on a 500gb ntfs drive and while ubuntu is my main OS, the partition I use for it is less than 20gb [11:00] qmunke: if you have you ubuntu install setup as you want, then we can debug it so you don't have to install [11:00] lmartin92, well hopefully we fixed it [11:01] mnemo, of course its up to you where you store everything [11:01] blitz, there was a tool called "zipper" in the ubuntu paketmanager. It was able to decompress it without errors. [11:01] blitz: xorg.conf had to be reset to a default at bootup generated one (for some reason it won't accept hand written ones?); this one has no mouse definitions whatsoever [11:01] rnd_, sweet good to know [11:01] ikonia, i know. in configuration i set it to default and automated sending mails worked on my website. i have no idea what i need to configure to make it receive [11:01] ikonia: i've just done a standard install and am currently running via the livecd, if you could help debug would be appreciated [11:02] lmartin92, you know there is a Xorg log file, if it fails again check there too for any messages [11:02] qmunke: have you changed anything on your install yet ? [11:02] !postfix > compengi [11:02] compengi, please see my private message [11:03] blitz: yes, I checked it a couple times (under another's recomendation) [11:04] blitz: This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation. It is not supported in any way. top of my xorg log says that [11:04] ikonia: i've fiddled around with fstab and menu.lst, but as you've pointed out by removing the disks I think i've knacked my fstab - currently the entries all refer to sdc which has now become sda [11:05] lmartin92, yeah something happened a while back with them I read about.. forgot what it was tho [11:05] qmunke: that it will be quicker / easier to just re-install, [11:05] ikonia: yeah okay, that's what i thought. thanks for the advice [11:05] ok [11:06] blitz: yeah that would work I guess... just now, when inspecting my vista partition, I also noticed that my plain vista that came with the computer (I never installed anything on it) takes up 53GB of disk...!! wow, maybe I'll just nuke my windows partition instead and use a VM for internet banking because that the only thing I need to use vista for ;> [11:07] mnemo, personally I would want to use linux for banking, but you may have a weird bank or something :p [11:08] mnemo, much less of a chance your computer broadcasts your bank login info to someone [11:08] are there any 64 bit virtual machines (the virtual machine is 64 bit linux executable, not OS for VM is 64 bit) [11:08] after i hav installed a program i didnt find it in my menu how can i luanch programms fro [11:09] m terminla can u give me the code [11:09] avengery, what program [11:09] writer the name and lre [11:09] !ot [11:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[11:11] Jackiz, yes [11:11] frith: awsome ! [11:11] avengery, wait, do you want the button you press to open a terminal as and run the command within it? is that what you were asking? [11:11] well ubuntu can run from a usb hdd, but can you make it do that is the bigger question [11:11] frith: so i can boot that hard drive in school to, and then do whatever i want to ? [11:11] in school [11:12] Jackiz, if you are smart enough [11:12] frith: that sounds nice. [11:12] Jackiz, make sure to get permission :P [11:12] frith: maybe something to try out later ^^, [11:12] but you need into the bios to chage boot [11:12] the school maybe have password in bios [11:12] hi, I'm having an issue where dpkg configuring my locales is hanging - I ran into this while doing an upgrade from 7.10 -> 8.04. Basically, I've been able to trace it down to /usr/lib/locale/en_AU.utf8 hanging, such that any process that tries to read from it goes into an unkillable state [11:12] if i ran a school network i would password all the bios's [11:13] Jackiz, the computer also has to be capable of USB boot, which is common but not guaranteed [11:13] but you can open the cpu and take the battery and the password wiill erase [11:13] http://pb.paivola.fi/834 <-- there's some ps output, http://pb.paivola.fi/835 <-- there's some sys-req kernel stack traces... [11:13] blitz ya that what i meant what is the code to run programms [11:13] from terminal [11:13] Wonder if someone can help, I have an old machine which has xubuntu install I can't remember the spec on the machine. I can't seem to find an option to display the spec on the machine ?? [11:13] yes and you can also get expelled for that [11:14] Jackiz, what I would reccomend which is more likely to work on all systems would be to have a livecd as well as a usb stick [11:14] blitz: im in sweden. our school networks are very very easy to "hack". so i think they dont have any pass on the boot order settings [11:14] Jackiz: that doesn't mean it won't be allowed, talk to your teacher [11:14] Jackiz, my advise would be to use debootstrap and grub the flash [11:14] why are easy ?>? [11:14] blitz: yes, but i have to reboot my computer now. updates ! :-) [11:14] cya === tvelocity_ is now known as tvelocity [11:15] avengery, when you create the launcher, change the pulldown from "application" to "Application in Terminal" [11:15] got it [11:15] thanks [11:15] avengery, np [11:15] lmartin92, still working?

[12:19] Evenin', quick question from a Linux n00b: I'm planning on installing Ubuntu to a partition I've reserved on my HDD soon - all my files are in a separate partition.

Welcome! [13:04] anyone know any good tutorials on process/service auditing? [13:05] nnull, what you mean by auditing? [13:05] like when i netstat i have things listening on ports id like to find out what they are [13:06] i dont want to be running anything i dont need to be [13:06] so like a system monitor? probobly conky is your best bet [13:06] !conky [13:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky [13:06] how i can upgrade my modem driver? [13:06] http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l18/blitz0x/Screenshot.png [13:06] check out my conky setup [13:07] mnemo: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/info/info.html if you're interested [13:07] i have a st516v6 [13:08] jrib: thanks [13:08] blitz: that looks awecome, could you share your conkyrc maybe? [13:08] thats cool jrib, are those applets in ure top panel from conky? [13:09] i mean blitz [13:09] someone knows? [13:09] how much resources does conky take up? [13:09] mnemo, its 3 conkyrc files, anyone who wants em I guess I can email em, send me a message [13:09] mnemo: 'man man' might have some way of doing what you want too. I'd be interested if you figure out a way [13:09] nnull: if you uuse -p with netstat it will list the processes using the ports iirc [13:09] nnull, I think youre referring to the system monitor applet for gnome panel [13:10] someone knows????????????????? [13:10] so... [13:10] i try to upgrade a driver for thomson modem [13:10] nnull, mine is a pretty intense setup and uses between .5 and 1% at all times of my processor (phenom 9600) [13:11] does anyone know since i installed ubuntu in vista, if i move the ubuntu partition on to my xp partition will everything work still??????????????? [13:11] hello can somebody help me with my cinergy t usb xe [13:11] i try to upgrade a driver for thomson modem [13:12] Anybody here uses Ubuntu with SLim and Fluxbox? [13:12] hey, whats a good quick compiler for ubuntu? [13:12] blitz, in that screen shot ure mem usage is at 98%? [13:12] Rakeer: compiler for what [13:13] a .c, vcp, and .cln files? [13:13] er *.sln [13:13] nnull, yeah its supposed to be.. right now its 30% inuse by programs and 70% cache [13:13] Rakeer: I never heard of those last two. Use gcc for C. Install the build-essential package [13:13] running VMware i assume? [13:14] i try to upgrade a driver for thomson modem [13:14] pLuhhmm: if you are using WUBI then I dont think you can just move the file from vista to XP because WUBI also uses boot.ini customizations in windows afaik [13:14] blitz, ? running VMware i assume? [13:15] im recording in ardour and when the volume of the piece i am recording is high it goes crackly. does any body know how to fix this problem? I think the problem is with jack [13:15] nnull, thats the way memory works in linux, is to fill rememning ram with cache and buffers instead of swap .. its hotter but faster and more efficient [13:16] blitz? how much ram you got? [13:16] nnull, 4g physical [13:16] wth [13:16] JESUS CHRIST [13:16] is flannel here? [13:16] wth are you running that uses that much ram lol [13:16] Okay. Does anybody understand how does the /etc/X11/Xsession script is supposed to work? [13:17] i dont really need to use swap either i have seen my ram usage go over 500 meg yet (and i have 2 gig) [13:17] nnull, its not actually "in use" it is cache to spped up program launch and interaction [13:17] hi my fstab is completley gone ? [13:17] is there such a amplifier software for ubuntu, or any suggestion how can I bost the volume of my ltsp workstation? [13:17] so you load your tracker data into ure memory? [13:17] can i fix it [13:17] nnull you probobly dont have things like "preload" installed [13:17] trackerd* [13:18] fucking psycocats.net home folder moving guide said to press control x to save unfortunately that is to exit [13:18] !ohmy | cdoublejj [13:18] cdoublejj: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[13:20] !amplifier [13:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about amplifier [13:20] it said something like running linux as an app when installed [13:20] cdoublejj: sudo fdisk -l [13:20] blitz, ok [13:21] nnull I would get rid of it tho, a quick internet search says as much, [13:21] i'm running a ubuntu 7.10 live cd right now because when i go into ubuntu 8.04 or ubuntu studio 8.04 there's no options to connect to the internet [13:22] someone knowsssssssssssSSSSSSSS??????????/ [13:22] so id be better of not tracking anything blitz?

[13:22] tavi: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [13:22] wouldnt that make my system slow or something [13:22] nnull, from what I read theres a lot of problems with it running away or working incorrectly in a manner that slows you down [13:22] oh [13:22] hi all [13:23] !hi | saschahl [13:23] saschahl: Hi!

[13:23] i wan tto know if ubuntu by any chance supports create sound blaster XFi sound cards [13:23] hello everyboby [13:23] nnull, what preloading does for the system is uses any available memory to keep programs so it doesnt need to read from the hard drive to reopen them.. like my web browser and such [13:23] cdoublejj2: yeah, that won't help on the live cd, sorry [13:23] cdoublejj2: did you get my messages after?

[13:24] the idea of having no ram when i want to launch a program i never do sounds scary [13:24] jrib no i can't boot off my hard drive a session won't even last 10 sec [13:24] or dynamic content [13:24] nnull it couldnt really hurt, just do an apt-get install preload and try it for a while [13:24] nnull if you dont like it, drop it :) [13:24] can u just answer one thing? [13:24] cdoublejj2: pastebin: sudo fdisk -l [13:25] nnull its not the same as ram that is "in use" [13:25] like it runs full... what happens if i start streaming alot of data to it, will it drop data to make room for this new incoming? [13:25] yeah the "in use" fills up and cache drops out [13:25] i googled and found out that ihave to install a sound subsystem called OSS [13:26] jrib here paste bin http://slexy.org/view/s20BixcVnC and here is the guide i was using http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [13:26] cdoublejj2: alright, now how are you viewing your fstab if none of these are mounted?

Where did I go wrong? [13:56] Pelo: ok, thank you, goodbye [13:56] tavi, then call the provider and tell them the modem is damaged and you need a new one, they will replace it , they have to , you are renting it [13:56] cdoublejj2: now empty /home in hda1.

[13:58] don't know here providers aren't so polite [13:58] nutsy, just use envyng to remove the driver and reinstall it , but before hand you might want to remove/rename your xorg.conf file and make a new one after the driver is reinstalled [13:58] jrib it is to smart for it's own good it won't let me, the move to trash option is greyed out [13:58] in my notebook just sound disbale [13:58] nutsy, when working with xorg.conf you always make backups, to fix the problem you replace the xorg.conf with the working backup. making small changes at a time is the key [13:59] tavi, then be less polite [13:59] and not working but in 7.10 it works [13:59] can i install Internet download manager in ubuntu? or any suggestion? === xxxxxx is now known as Guest36565 [13:59] BunTai kget [13:59] tavi, you are the customer, you are renting a modem , the modem is damage , you have the right to request a working one [13:59] tavi, if you rent a car and it breaks on its own what should you do?

[14:00] pelo: they worked then [14:00] I have a back up question. If I use imaging software to image my Ubuntu and XP partitions on my HDD, then re-partition the drive, making the partitions large than the imaged size, will I be able to re-install the images on the new partitions without any issues, or must the size of the new partitions be exactly the same as the existing partitions? [14:01] tavi, this is not a ubuntu issue , we told you what you had to do , get a new modem , ether from your ISP or bey one your self [14:01] BunTai what do you expect of you download manager ?

[14:01] how can I force the cdrom to mount to /media/cdrom ?? It keeps naming the mount point whatever the CD is named...

There is just / and mount points for other partitions under / [14:36] amenado: It only lists sda and sdb, not sdc. :S [14:36] jrib hahaha cool so now i have one big file system [14:36] raven there you go, thats your hint [14:36] thanks a bunch jrib [14:36] cdoublejj1: no problem [14:36] amenado: So I should add sdc then? [14:36] !tab [14:36] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [14:36] oh, I see [14:37] raven, let me put it this way, the device.map has a purpose..and that is? :P [14:37] does anybody know how to set up ATI Radeon 2900 XT correctly? [14:37] amenado: I have two interfaces - eth0 and br0 - so it seems br0 is working but eth0 cannot get to external addresses [14:37] amenado: Touché. :P I'll try that, thanks. [14:38] i'm having issues installing to my system, a compaq proliant ML530. I am insatling ubuntu server 8.04. I get an error that Ubuntu could not read information from my CD, yet it starts fine! It won't load anything after APT-CDROM-SETUP, the first of the packages. Any ideas? [14:38] hello. Is ubuntu and kubuntu the same project with different DM or totally different forks? [14:38] BatsShadow-> okay, lets do this, on the HOST as oppose to guest, what does ifconfig shows for you, put it in pastebin [14:38] Kaapa: same project, different default set of packages [14:39] Kaapa: you can install both at the same time for example [14:39] jrib: thanks. Does it have a frontend gui for apt-get? [14:39] Greetings, I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu using Wubi installer. The installation part completes in windows, then it tells me to reboot to finalize installation but I get the error: MBR cylinders is not equal to the BIOS ones. Also,MBR total sectors is greater than the BIOS one. [14:39] http://www.mibbit.com/pb/ymzNLG [14:39] I have a pretty basic gtk artwork question. In case you feel it cannot be answered here, because it's not specific, could you point me to another IRC channel where this kind of stuff is discussed? [14:39] (I want to install it in wife's laptop, even her doesn't stand vista) [14:39] Kaapa: synaptic === Moushira_ is now known as Moushira [14:39] amenado: I added sdc and did grup setup but I still can't find my new install in /boot/grub/menu.lst :S [14:39] Kaapa-> nice to remember command lines, clicking on gui is easy to forget, whats behind those icons :) [14:39] Kaapa: there's also Add/Remove programs which is friendlier but less powerful [14:40] amenado: I'm a slack user, so I won't forget for sure :D But not her [14:41] fmrbpensador, #gtk maybe? [14:41] raven you may have to run some kind of grub update so the device.map matches to where grub installed stuff [14:41] jrib: thanks. One last thing: is Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 Remix stable? I mean, as far as a beta goes... [14:41] KRF, here on Freenode? === xicubed______ is now known as xicubed [14:41] and is it easy to upgrade later? [14:41] mh, no. almost empty [14:41] fmrbpensador, try channel listing, filter for gtk [14:42] Kaapa: I don't know what remix is, I think it's just based on the official kubuntu [14:42] amenado: How would I do that then? :) [14:42] Kaapa, 8.04's kde3 is very stable [14:42] KRF, I'm not that experient on IRC, could you tell me how to do that filtering, the exact command and all that? [14:42] Kaapa: remix kde4 was not very stable imo [14:42] BatsShadow-> let me do a search on my notes on this..i cant remember stuff [14:42] amenado: thank you so much [14:42] Kaapa, yeah. just dont use kde4 (yet) [14:43] ive got both syslogd and klogd running, do i need both? [14:43] Kaapa: after googling, ignore what I said except the stuff before the comma :) [14:43] raven getting into grub and issuing root ..the normal steps..i cant remember the step sequence either [14:43] and one last question, perhaps the most difficult: should I choose ubuntu or kubuntu for the wife's laptop? I personally prefer kde over gnome, but the most important part is easy of use [14:43] I am going to scream, I have been trying to get vnc to work on ubuntu for 4 hours now. Every time I try to connect to tightvnc, it asks for the password, then I click ok and it says connection closed. Any ideas whats going on? [14:43] Kaapa-> myself, for the prettyness and closeness to windows,i choose KDE.. [14:43] amenado: I did root (hd1,5) and then setup (hd1)... Maybe I should do setup hd2 or something? I'm not sure [14:44] Kaapa: I find Kubuntu to be not quite as well put together. If I wanted KDE, I would use a different distro [14:44] Kaapa: I'd let her play with both livecd's and choose the one she likes better [14:44] Anyone? I found grub4dos 0.4.4 and downloaded it, but I'm not sure where to put it to replace the default 0.4.3 version which is default. There is no directory that I can see that has any grub files which I can replace [14:44] I am seriously going to blow up my computer, anyone know how to get VNC working on ubuntu? [14:44] raven, well make sure the partition matches to what you put ont that root and setup [14:44] BatsShadow: well, I don't think distro's are tied to DM... [14:44] the installer cd is also a livecd? [14:45] Kaapa: the desktop cd is both, yes [14:45] hi guys, HOW TO get the Xvid codec for Totem? I was tryin' to watch an .avi file but Totem is unable to read it coz "Video codec 'XviD' is nod handled". I searched for it using Synaptic but it looks like I already got it. WHAT'S GOING ON? [14:45] Kaapa: yes it is [14:45] Theaxiom_-> if you hang on for a few..maybe we can assist, grab a cup of joe, and come back okay? [14:45] amenado: why dont you use desktop sharing or ssh? [14:45] Kaapa: finding how tos and tips on the web will be easier if she uses stock ubuntu [14:45] fmrbpensador, try #gtk+ [14:45] thanks [14:45] KRF, thanks [14:45] Kaapa: Yes, that's true also [14:45] I don't have partitions made yet. Does the installer bring gparted or something like that? [14:45] amenado: Sorry 4 hours of this makes me kinda edgy lol [14:45] amenado: sry, m8 [14:45] amenado: I'm not sure what you mean. My grub is setup on (hd1,5) atm. Should I still do setup for my new linux install that's on (hd2,0)? [14:45] sevensun: install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [14:45] weird, #qt got ~200 users ;) [14:46] erUSUL: that's a very important advantage... [14:46] Theaxiom_: why dont you use desktop sharing or ssh? [14:46] Kaapa: yeah, you can partition during install [14:46] starenka: The other person only has windows [14:46] raven you can have an entry on your existing grub, to point to the newer install [14:46] Where can I find the PeerGuardian lists to use with Deluge? Anyone know? [14:46] erUSUL: is it a package? [14:46] sevensun: yep [14:47] Theaxiom_: desktop sharing works with vnc... [14:47] starenka: How do I do that? Vino? [14:47] Theaxiom_: well, at leat krdc in KDE does [14:47] amenado: How would I add that automagically? Or do I need to manually add that? [14:47] raven manually add it [14:47] wThe installatino CD is only one CD? Seems so little (even slack has 3 cd's) [14:47] erUSUL: I'll watch for it. But why doesn't Totem just watch the net for it? It did it for flv codec [14:48] raven: manually add it to the menu.lst file in your grub install folder [14:48] amenado: Do I need to know kernel and initrd? How do I find that? [14:48] Theaxiom_: http://www.debianadmin.com/remote-desktop-sharing-in-ubuntu.html [14:48] raven yes, those are the entries for the newer linux that needs to be inserted on the menu.lst [14:49] amenado: And how do I find that? [14:49] raven: you should be able to figure it out by looking at the old install lines and looking at the new filesystem and adjusting [14:49] raven look where you put your new linux at.. [14:49] BatsShadow: Thanks, I'll try. :) [14:50] erUSUL: oh I forgot: I got xubuntu not ubuntu :P [14:50] BatsShadow-> i cant seem to find the lil notes i have on the quirkyness of bridging versus nat on virtual box [14:50] amenado: ok. Is there a different irc channel that maybe would specialize? [14:51] ive got both syslogd and klogd running, do i need both? [14:51] BatsShadow-> perhaps #virtualbox, but lets see if we can try to work it out here, and then if we are stuck you can ask them there over [14:51] For an Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 (2.2GHz FSB 800MHz) / 2GB RAM DDR2-667MHz/ ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 256MB DDR2 laptop what version of Ubuntu would you recommend? 32-bit or 64-bit? All this taking in account the current 64-bit support leve! [14:51] amenado: Ok, found all but root=UUID=***, how do I find that or should that be the same as the old install? [14:51] amenado: do you recall if the br0 and eth0 should have the same ip? [14:51] no help with my ATI problem:( [14:52] BatsShadow-> you HOST route -n results please paste on pastebing [14:52] are avahi-daemon and windbind the same thing? [14:52] asin perform the same purpose [14:52] BatsShadow-> because they are bridge, they should be, both ends of a bridge should be same ip address [14:53] raven each partitions have a unique uuid, go see /dev/device dir [14:53] amenado: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/ark1kN - added to the bottom [14:53] petersaints, : there is not much difference running 64bit and 32 bit. i will say go for 32bit so will get wide range of applications which are not available in 64bit. [14:53] Theaxiom_: btw you can access ssh from windoze machina w/ putty [14:54] BatsShadow-> from the HOST, can you ping 192.168.1.254 ? [14:54] starenka: I am trying to show clients stuff on my desktop while talking on skype [14:54] yes [14:54] BatsShadow-> can you ping your ISP name server? [14:54] starenka: he has raw ports blocked on his machine, how do I configure it for a different port? [14:54] Hi all [14:55] amenado: I am using opendns and my router is my nameserver [14:55] Theaxiom_: ohkay, but desktop sharing works, like a charm (well not for watching movies, of coarse) in KDE, so i guess vino will serve same way in gnome [14:55] starenka: So how do I change it to a different port? [14:55] abhii_ Yeah that's what I was thinking... In pratice for a desktop (well in this case laptop :P) use 64-bit only advantage is if you have over 4GB of RAM!! BTW knowing that there's now lot's of 64-bit capable computers is 64-bit version getting a huge boost in user base?? [14:56] BatsShadow-> what is the nameserver ip address...not the localized 192.168.x.x.. [14:56] Theaxiom_: dunno, but you can port forward on router meanwhile :)) [14:56] 208.67.222.222 [14:56] starenka: thanks [14:56] amenado: attempting to ping now.... [14:56] Can some 1 look at my xorg i am try to get my rez set to 1680*1050 i am using Intel GMA 950 card it will change to the rez on Sys-screen res buit does not look right m,y xorg is http://paste.ubuntu.com/42165/ [14:57] Theaxiom_: http://www.bani.com.br/lang/en/2007/04/25/hidden-features-of-vino-remote-desktop-access/ [14:57] amenado: didn't work [14:57] !google | Theaxiom_ [14:57] Theaxiom_: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [14:57] starenka: Thanks [14:57] BatsShadow-> okay, what is your entry in your /etc/resolv.conf ? [14:57] Hello [14:57] Theaxiom_-> you want just single user to view your desktop or multiple? [14:58] Could I have some advice? [14:58] amenado: I don't care, as long as someone can see my desktop [14:58] ciao [14:58] amenado: 4 hours is pissing me off with no progress [14:58] Theaxiom_-> just hang on...til i finished with the other guy.. [14:59] Theaxiom_: so vino is not working, then? you got 5900 or other opened? [14:59] amenado: I think I got it [14:59] Is anyone able to help me? [14:59] I want to have Ubuntu on Virtual Box, and so far I've used the "try without changing anything" option, but I have this weird phobia that by installing it, some weird error's going to pop up and turn my whole computer into Ubuntu, and my mom would NOT like that [14:59] amenado: I got it, finally thanks [14:59] Can some 1 look at my xorg i am try to get my rez set to 1680*1050 i am using Intel GMA 950 card it will change to the rez on Sys-screen res buit does not look right m,y xorg is http://paste.ubuntu.com/42165/ [14:59] Theaxiom_: try to scan the ports with nmap or so [14:59] Batmanifestdesti: if you are inside virtualbox, ubuntu can't do anything to your computer [14:59] Hm, I added everything but I still get Error 17, cannot mount partition in grub. :/ [14:59] really? [15:00] and if it's fully installed, will it run faster? [15:00] Batmanifestdesti: probably [15:00] yay! [15:00] thanks, bye [15:00] Batmanifestdesti: eh? [15:00] that's all I needed to know [15:00] amenado: I'm back [15:00] that was weird [15:00] Batmanifestdesti: by "fully installed" you meant outside of virtualbox in its own partition right? [15:00] oh well [15:00] BatsShadow_-> what was weird? [15:01] raven can you paste your menu.lst in pastebin? [15:01] my whole vm computer shut off when I pasted some junk by mistake [15:01] amenado: Sure, just a sec [15:01] irc://irc.barmy-army.org/bobblehead-warez [15:02] paolonet: do not paste that here anymore. Stay on-topic [15:02] amenado: I was trying to paste my resolve.conf I believe [15:02] amenado: nameserver 192.168.1.254 [15:03] BatsShadow_-> and that nameserver does not seem to resolv your outside addresses, so replace it with your ISP name server address [15:03] Greetings, I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu using Wubi installer. The installation part completes in windows, then it tells me to reboot to finalize installation but I get the error: MBR cylinders is not equal to the BIOS ones. Also,MBR total sectors is greater than the BIOS one. [15:03] amenado: No, it does resolve [15:03] Hi. I just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and I tried to install XMMS but it does not allow me to. Is xmms no longer available and if not why is it in synaptic still? [15:03] amenado: I just can't route there [15:03] anyone here know any good internet cafes in Manhattan NYC? [15:03] wouldn't use wubi if you really care about a good install [15:04] hello. I have a problem with hardy. My CD/DVD drive is not been recognized byt Ubuntu. This happened for less than a month ago [15:04] I used it in the past, and it didn't give me any problems [15:04] anyone know any good linux friendly internet cafes in manhattan nyc? [15:04] BatsShadow_-> can you do a dig www.makingthings.com from that ubuntu? [15:04] The drive is not mounted and hal (and hence gnome) seem not to be able to detect the block device [15:04] cathberg: i guess it is: look sudo apt-cache search xmms [15:05] amenado: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/C66xIj [15:05] it's a Samsung CDRW/DVD SN-324B [15:05] cathberg: fook, sorry, bad buddy :)) [15:05] cathberg: appears on dmesg?? [15:05] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m7855276d :) [15:05] whileimhere: i guess it is: look sudo apt-cache search xmms [15:05] I thought ubuntu wubi was supported in this channel, or is there a seperate channel for it? [15:05] jarle: it didn't work [15:05] whileimhere: so all you need to do is: sudo apt-get install xmms [15:06] BatsShadow_-> the route table you pasted earlier is from ubuntu host right? [15:06] whileimhere: it is no longer aviable switch to audacious for example [15:06] Valroque: it's here [15:06] amenado: yes [15:06] erUSUL, yes it seems to appear there: [ 75.253714] ata1.01: ATAPI: Samsung CD-RW/DVD-ROM SN-324B, U101, max UDMA/33 [15:06] [ 75.567604] scsi 0:0:1:0: CD-ROM SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SN-324B U101 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [15:06] jarle: it seems to me it is intended for people who can't get Ethernet working (I can do that) [15:06] cathberg: weird can you mount things manually? [15:06] the problem is that no DVD gets mounted [15:06] no, haven't been succesful [15:07] BatsShadow_-> do you have a firewall active? sudo iptables -vL to confirm the rules [15:07] cathberg: any error msg when you try? [15:07] Valroque: but I don't think many regulars use it, so their forums (see website) may be a better place to go [15:07] starenka: Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package xmms has no installation candidate [15:07] whileimhere: sorry sudo apt-get install xmms2 [15:07] !xmms | whileimhere [15:07] whileimhere: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. [15:07] jrib: The version of grub ubuntu uses when I get the error is 0.4.3 I believe, and there's a new version out that I read may fix the problem. But I checked my HD and can't find 0.4.3 to replace it with 0.4.4, what's the problem? [15:07] I read 0.4.4 may fix the problem [15:08] amenado: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/77JO3W [15:08] erUSUL, I do not know which block device it is using since gnome-device-manager is not giving any hints.. [15:08] Ohhh Thanks. [15:08] starenka: whileimhere xmms2 is the *no* *gui* next version of xmms it need separate front ends [15:08] I liked XMMS because it was small and had great skins non of the other players do. [15:08] oh [15:08] whileimhere: audacious is very similar [15:08] starenka: whileimhere it is not a drop in replacement forxmms for that try audacious as i already said [15:09] sorry, for missinfo... [15:09] raven that seems okay.. you have default set to 4, which if i count right is line 150 ? [15:09] erUSUL: downloading now. Thanks for the tip. [15:09] BatsShadow_-> that looks good too [15:09] whileimhere: anyway, try amarok.. :) rox hard [15:09] cathberg: probably /dev/scd0 [15:09] amenado: I can reboot the router I guess ? [15:10] BatsShadow_-> what router? [15:10] amenado: the hardware default gateway [15:10] amenado: Windows is set to default but that shouldn't matter, should it? The problem is that when I chose 8.04.1 it says Error 17, cannot mount partition [15:10] sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 -t auto [15:10] mount: No medium found [15:10] amenado: If my routes are right, no firewall, and I can get to local machines, what else could it be? [15:10] BatsShadow_-> oh okay, yeah try that, and lets see what ip address you still get.. [15:11] amenado: my dhcp is hard-coded to the mac in the router setup [15:11] BatsShadow_-> when you say you can get to the local machines how? from guest? how? [15:11] cathberg: but there is a cdrom in there... happens with a spcific cd/dvd or with everything you tried? could be hardware error? [15:12] amenado: ping, ssh [15:12] raven the entry default 4 matters [15:12] Hey guys, I've got some issues with my ATi Radeon on Hardy Heron, Im getting a black screen before logon after config, I've probably had 8 or 9 fresh installs, and tried every tutorial in the book. [15:12] amenado: Isn't that only what it picks when I wait out the timeout? [15:12] BatsShadow_-> from guest os? you can ping the local machine? [15:12] Where do skins go for audacious? [15:13] One common thread is that I can NEVER get rid of the MESA driver [15:13] john_help_radeon: you tried proprietary dirvers from ati? [15:13] raven yes when it times out [15:13] amenado: yes [15:13] erUSUL, this was not a problem with hardy generally, but some update make that bug appear [15:13] amenado: And I don't wait it out. I just pick 8.04.1 and then it says cannot mount [15:13] Star, yes I have, in addition to the open source drivers, etc. [15:13] BatsShadow_-> from the guest, what is the the result of route -ran ? [15:13] guys on my previous install i setup my cube to slowly fade back in from tranparency when shifted between, i cant find the option anyone help? [15:14] cathberg: can you confirm it as a kernel problem? booting an older kernel? [15:14] in ccsm [15:14] amenado: guest is windows [15:14] That doesn't neccesarily mean I did it all right, but I tried every option from every tutorial I could find [15:14] I am not happy with the upgrade from Ubuntu 7.x to 8.0.4 -- it REMOVED a number of packages I depend on, including MySQL! Gosh, darn it --- maybe I should go back to using Fedora. [15:15] flajann2: how did you upgraded? [15:15] can someone help me? [15:15] Whats the best way to see if the intel drivers are working for my intel GMA 950are working [15:15] raven it may have not installed properly, if you can boot to your linux and type grub then do a find root it should also list what is in your sdc or hd2 [15:15] hi [15:15] And it lists MySQL 5.1 in its database, but that package came up as"unavalilable" [15:15] -_- [15:15] will someone help me? [15:15] amenado: I am in my on Linux install atm so sure, I can do that [15:15] !ask | USERNAME [15:15] BatsShadow_-> yes you can use route -ran or route print i believe to see the route [15:15] USERNAME: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [15:15] erUSUL, I used the upgrade option from the gui program [15:16] is zday playable yet? [15:16] let me check erUSUL [15:16] john_help_radeon: all i can say: i used these and it works (hd 2600 pro) http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html [15:16] amenado: find root = file not found [15:16] flajann2: weird never had such problems upgrading with the upgrade manager... [15:16] hello, I am trying to generate a gpg key and keep getting "gpg: no default secret key: secret key not available and gpg: [stdin]: sign+encrypt failed: secret key not available" any ideas? [15:16] Whats the best way to see if the intel drivers are working for my intel GMA 950are working ? [15:17] Star, same here, I used those with three different methods of install and I get a black screen [15:17] Yeah, package is just not there anymore -- I guess I should just reinstall afresh every time [15:17] raven i think the command is find /boot/grub/menu.lst [15:17] amenado: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/5cqXkr [15:17] Or in the best case, I get a white screen AFTER logon, but still, never get anywhere [15:17] iCEifer: what's the command line you are using ? [15:17] I always seem to have major issues when I attempt to upgrade from one major to another. [15:17] amenado: (hd1,5) (which I already knew :P) [15:17] and regardless, I still have fglrxinfo saying I have the MESA drivers [15:17] I was hoping Ubuntu got it right, but alas.... [15:18] john_help_radeon: i remember getting this while "logging out", i just installed newest kernel and newest dirvers... does dmesg says something? [15:18] what's the command to unpack a .tar.bz2 file? [15:18] BatsShadow_-> you have two gateways? .254 and .103 on windows? [15:18] flajann2: you should be filing a bug [15:18] ok erUSUL note this: $ uname -a gives Linux hjemme 2.6.24-19-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Aug 21 02:08:03 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [15:18] MrNaz: tar xf file.tar.bz2 [15:18] amenado: Windows thinks it's own IP address is 103. I don't know anything about it being a gateway [15:18] Iæ'm going to restart with 2.26.17 which used to work or any other kernel I find [15:19] erUSUL, gpg --gnupg -sea -r 035D6B1D [15:19] amenado: from vm windows, I can ping the host, but the host cannot ping 103, it can only ping the tap0 address - 99 [15:19] jrib, probably, except I am not sure I can describe precisely how to reproduce it -- being that I no longer have the state of the machine before the upgrade! [15:19] Nobody owns any port - [15:19] amenado: not sure if that means anything [15:19] cathberg: any specific reason you are using rt kernel and not generic? [15:19] amenado: host is 102 [15:19] Star, I already have the newest kernel and drivers, but let me check dmeseg [15:19] BatsShadow_-> i know there is some quirkyness on the virtualbox regarding pinging and bridging, but i cant recall at the moment, im not awake yet :P [15:20] not really.. now that you mention it, I have no clue [15:20] I've had the generic kernel crash on my machine -- so I use rt instead. [15:20] flajann2: logs are made during upgrades. Someone will tell you how to get them [15:20] how do i install intel GMA 950 drivers ? [15:20] BatsShadow_-> lets ask the #virtualbox folks...to refresh my memory too [15:20] jrib, ah -- good point [15:20] Ok, I'm on the way [15:21] iCEifer: to generate a new key is "gpg --gen-key" where did you got that other comman line from? [15:21] dmesg says everything is fine [15:21] erUSUL, I guess it came with a ubuntu studio installation I tried for a couple of hours.... [15:22] erUSUL, from freenode's web site [15:22] The only errors are for my wireless card, which I don't use [15:22] raven and in hd0 you do have /boot/ directory? [15:22] I will remover the rt kernels and test [15:22] BRB [15:22] has anyone else notice instabilities with the generic kernel -- just locking up? [15:22] john_help_radeon: fok [15:22] raven rather in hd2 you do have /boot/ directory? [15:23] amenado: Yes, I can mount my (hd2,0) which is my new Ubuntu install and there is a /boot/ there [15:23] flajann2, yeah I have, I recently did an install and experienced similiar problems [15:23] erUSUL, thx for yoiur comments. I'll try it and come back as soon as I can [15:24] I used to build kernels under Fedora, but doing that on Ubuntu would break the restricted drivers. === david is now known as Guest68815 [15:24] iCEifer: you have to generate first your keys and once you diid that you have to upload the keys to a keyserver and then use the cli you read [15:24] cathberg: no problem good luck [15:24] raven and in that /boot/ dir is where you put your initrd and vmlinuz kernel for the new? [15:24] k0rnz. so I am not just going nuts -- Ubuntu has a QA problem! [15:24] flajann2, you have to do it the debian way [15:24] iCEifer: read a basic gpg how to to know what you are doing [15:24] amenado: Of course. :) [15:25] cathberg, I loose a lot of control that way! [15:25] flajann2, i had similiar experience with trying to install legacy nvidia drivers using Envy and trying to do exactly what you tried [15:25] I'm just really wishing I had bought an nVidia card [15:25] erUSUL, okay, thanks :) [15:25] amenado: The main problem is (I think...) that for some reason grub can't find and/or mount (hd2) [15:25] raven i just want to confirm, i had done it myself before, where i thought i had it in /boot of that partition, and came to find out its in / [15:26] Im gonna try envy for the hell of it [15:26] true, but you lose support for restricted drivers in almost any other way you do it...It's all dependencies, it has to work that way [15:26] raven try not to use uuid just the old way of /dev/hdd2 [15:26] k0rnz, yes -- all kinds of nasty issues with legacy nvidia drivers -- found out the hard way that the restricted drivers are directly tied to the specific kernels. The dependency mechanism doesn't catch this, but should. [15:27] raven just for kicks, sometimes grub does not the uuid in time to see it [15:27] when i ssh into an Ubuntu box & start a program, is there anyway to add text to the window title? [15:27] amenado: So I should use root=/dev/hdd2 then? [15:27] not that i know much about it but the best way i have found to handle my old gf3 is with the envy script [15:28] raven yes [15:28] amenado: it's quiet over there [15:29] BatsShadow_-> yeah, lets be patient :) [15:29] amenado: Ok, rebooting and trying. brb. :) === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [15:29] what with this [15:29] Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [15:30] Myth_: close synaptic [15:30] hahah [15:30] BatsShadow_-> am recompiling my virtualbox because i upgrade..hang on [15:30] flajann2, yes this happens as long as you use a debianized kernel (meaning build your kernel and use dpkg for installation).I have NVIDIA myself and have gone thorugh that pain (GeForce 440).. Good luck anyways [15:30] saxin tnx [15:31] BatsShadow_-> i have to reboot..does not like to have NMI watchdog either active or at least initialized [15:32] Would anyone like to do the favor of downloading the build-essential and gtk dev library packages for me? :) [15:33] Hi [15:33] theunixgeek: how would that help you?

It's deprecated, use !alsa instead [16:28] !alsa [16:28] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[16:30] Hey guys, I'm a PCLinuxOS but I know Ubuntu is a numerous community. So one of you may have seen this problem. Here's the situation I'm trying out. XP host, PCLinuxOS guest in VMware. More to follow... [16:30] Craig: that would be the best course of action. ALso, tae a look at this for downloading the list of packages, updating in your computer to then be able to generate the script https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository [16:31] Once I got my hdd partitioned can I change it after? [16:31] oliver3, see what the bot says about that (use alsa instead) [16:31] bazhang, already done so [16:31] Deltones: shouldn't be, xp host, pclinuxos guest, is COMPLETELY off-topic. [16:32] Audio was working fine, even in youtube. Until I installed vmware-tools. Now, audio is fine, but audio in youtube is mute, and I can seem to find info related to vmware-tools and youtube. Seen anything? [16:32] Deltones, www.ubuntu.com <--- then we can talk :) [16:33] no pclos support here Deltones [16:33] bazhang: I know it's Ubuntu, but you guys may have seen this problem with your distribution. Just asking. [16:33] bazhang, is there a command I can type in terminal to see the status of us ports? [16:34] usb [16:34] Miiikeee, plug in a device and check dmesg in terminal right after [16:34] it's very likely a PCLinuxOS specific issue, or it's something with VMware. none of that is ubuntu, or likely to be generalized from ubuntu. [16:35] bazhang, Um I have an nvidia and I have enabled the restricted driver, not sure what the specific card is [16:35] Ok, no problem. Maybe one of you guys experienced it with Ubuntu. Pretty hard to find this info. But thanks. [16:35] hellcattrav, check in lspci [16:35] Deltones: now, if you had a ubuntu guest, or a ubuntu host, then we could help usefully :) [16:36] how to register nick here?

[16:37] Hey at least guys, if I ask here, it's because your community is pretty well know as having plenty of members. No harm in asking ;) But thanks anyway. Continuing my search. [16:37] dasdajs: my first thought would be off-topic, and probably be a Bad Idea(tm) to say here :) [16:38] kc8pxy, hmm?! :S it should be ubuntu related.

[16:51] Bazhang, no luck finding my usb ports [16:51] is there a way i can set up my computer to be used as a bluetooth headseat? [16:51] tavi: long story made short, compile is to transform the source code (human readable) to a binary (deb files, machine readable). You'll have to install the tools for that, check if all packages it depends are installed and then compile it (guessing the right flags) which can take a lot of time [16:51] !dhcp [16:51] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router.

When I try sudo it takes the password but doesn't actually run the commands. [16:53] will02: assuming you have a bluetooth-dongle for you computer...then it could be possible. [16:53] crrj, that normally means your user doesn't have sudo privileges. you should look in /etc/sudoers with visudo [16:53] it sees 5 ports on the usb hub, but doesn't detect the devies bazhang [16:54] airtonix, yes, and i am able to do serial, network, input service, and audio services [16:54] Miiikeee, try without the hub [16:54] It should have sudo permissions, it did until recently and no changes were made. [16:54] how do i do that? [16:54] * crrj checks again [16:54] will02: but i actually wouldnt know the process of acheiving your goal [16:54] airtonix, ok thanks [16:55] crrj, it is possible you are having some weird problem with the previous sudo /var/run file. it might be worth removing /var/run/sudo/yourusername to reset that [16:55] how do i get samba [16:55] unless it got pooched when a user decided to power off the server to reboot it... :S [16:55] torx install from synaptic package manager [16:56] bazhang how do I access a usb port without the hub?

[17:07] labanux, use something like rsync or tar to backup from the old harddrive to the new one [17:07] Craig: It can be either. I believe it either depends on the version you use or the results of Wubi's analysis of your system. [17:08] unop : but it didn't move the bootloader.. [17:08] i want you to type dmesg in a terminal for me, and paste the results to http://paste.ubuntu.com and then give me the address it gives you.

[17:25] Hey what's the best Blog Editor for Ubuntu? BloGTK doesn't like my blog, and has no spell check. What are you all using/ [17:25] bazhang: i didnt use compiz as far as i thought.I just tried mpeg1 with 800kbits and it isnt as slow as mpeg4 but not really good... [17:26] I've got a disk here that was running XP, but was destroyed by a virus, and I'm trying to install Ubuntu on it without destroying my files, but the registry is slightly corrupted, and the installer refuses to take a 30GB part of it I know is empty. Anyone know a way to Bypass this? [17:26] Miiikeee, it don't think your supposed to use OCHI and UCHI at the same time. i will be afk for half an hour or so. i will have more time to look at it then, unless someone else can you help you. [17:26] SherlawkDragon: Boot to a Live CD [17:26] SherlawkDragon: If that's an option [17:26] Miiikeee, since you haven't asked your question in a while, feel free to pipe up, and ask again :) [17:26] labanux, just out of curiosity .. did you wipe the sdb2 partition clean ? [17:26] BlueKoala: Hang on [17:26] WDC> ...that's what I'm doing [17:26] should I try installing one bofh80? [17:26] SherlawkDragon: So what are you trying to do? [17:26] iif so which? [17:26] BlueKoala: Yes, it's on [17:26] Repartition [17:26] Miiikeee, you have them both installed, that's the seemable problem, tehy are both loading [17:27] What is a good Blog Editor for Ubuntu? BloGTK isn't my thing [17:27] I opened a chat, if you'd like [17:27] uninstallone of them bofh80? [17:27] Miiikeee, if anyone wants to help you , they will want to see that pastebin you did for me. but otherwise like i said, 30 minutes. .. [17:27] labanux, because if sdb2 is of a different size to sda2 .. then it's probably going to have the wrong filesystem size now - a result of your earlier cp command [17:27] tony_: You're further along than I am, I'm having a similar problem with a Thinkpad t40, the light won't come on at all. I think the hardware switch is fookt [17:28] Miiikeee, again i get lost here, i assume you would have to blacklist the module. but i'm not sure . .. . . haven't dealt with ochi uchi since ubuntu 6.0.6 [17:28] Okay, thanks [17:28] !repeat | WDC [17:28] WDC: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Im in live CD right now but the only options are for the smaller screen resolution i know the card can handle it because in vista i hade like 2000X something [17:31] so, no one knows how to bypass a frivilous error when partitioning to install? [17:31] any fix? [17:31] guntbert http://pastebin.com/d360bbce8 [17:31] SherlawkDragon, what error ?

[17:33] guntbert, yes i know, what do i need to do? [17:33] SherlawkDragon, what does the error message say exactly? [17:33] jochenh, your hardware is more than good enough. [17:34] I am looking for a way to put a pattern not just a color on dialog box backgrounds. I am currently using gnome and if possible would like a solution for that but if KDE will do it I'll switch, any ideas welcome.

[17:35] SherlawkDragon: I'd see about running a filesystem check on that before anything else. There are many tools to fix corrupted filesystems. [17:35] SherlawkDragon, well, i would say this. if you really care about the contents of the NTFS partition - you should really be using windows tools to check it for integrity .. can you not boot up into windows safe mode ? [17:35] Ok [17:36] oh really? [17:36] BlueKoala, get into grub menu and remove quiet and splash from the kernel you are booting [17:36] my desktop is locked!! cant right click, cant create shortcuts. the shortcuts that where there before are not showing! help [17:36] unop> it's being shitty. The virus rewrote alot of it. But the Files are still good. [17:36] Hi all, my girlfriend has an Acer laptop with an intel X3100 graphics card running hardy. Recently I was messing around trying to get java to work (no idea why it never, ever does) and in the process of logging out and back in again compiz broke. Now, even though gnome's appearences settings are set to start compiz, and so is fusion-icon, gome always starts without a window manager. Using fusion-icon I can start ei [17:36] ther metacity or compiz without incident (although initially trying to start compiz would make X crash, but not anymore), but compiz simply won't start on login. If anyone could offer any assistance I'd be most grateful. :) [17:36] BlueKoala: I forget what the command is. I think it's like Alt-F1 during boot. If nothing else, you can delete "quiet" from your menu.lst. [17:36] SherlawkDragon, no cursing please [17:37] please help me [17:37] luisgabriel84, do you have something you were working on you wish to save? If not just hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and choose log out and then you can log back in, it should bring everything back [17:37] i want to use webcam for yahoo chat [17:37] Hi othersupercutepeople.

When I issue the command "hibernate" on terminal everything works well. But if I click the appropriate button of the GUI the display gets and stays black - but the notebook is still powered on. Is there a possibility to make the hibernation-button issue the "hibernate"-command? [18:02] guntbert http://pastebin.com/dcac8684 [18:03] is there a way to find all of the packages in the repo that depend on one specific package? [18:03] Ferchault-> can you look at the command behind the gui? [18:03] jumpkic1: apt-cache rdepends [18:03] hi [18:03] jumpkic1, apt-cache rdepends package [18:03] amenado: where can I find it? [18:04] Ferchault-> look in its properties perhaps? [18:04] ok thanks ubottu, for the link you gave me.. It linked to some nice guides about APT and other things that look quite promissing. Might continue reading later :) [18:05] Hi there.. Does PowerDVD in linux use nVidia PureVideo chip? [18:05] jrib and unop, thank you both! [18:05] 'allo: how can i prevent echo to make a newline? f.e here http://pastebin.com/d7973e857. or to put it simply how to concat program output with string in single line? [18:05] !ubottu [18:05] 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 [18:06] will02: ok, we found it. look at the 1st line (Backup). That means there are about 55GB files lying around, and when you mount /dev/sdb1 they get hidden but remain on the disk, So you should delete/move the contents of your Backup-directory, ok? [18:06] guntbert, yea i just noticed that, and did it, that was the problem [18:07] will02: good, now type "sudo mount -a" to remount everything [18:08] thanks guntbert, i owe ya one [18:08] will02: np, gth :-) [18:08] ubuntu won't recognise my number pad keys - and I've tried 2 keyboards. ENTER works, but not the numbers, / *, - or +. Any ideas????? [18:08] amenado: found nothing. I have also tried gconf-editor but had no success [18:09] 'allo: how can i prevent echo to make a newline? f.e here http://pastebin.com/d7973e857. or to put it simply how to concat program output with string in single line? [18:09] Ferchault-> which gui is that you clicked on? [18:10] starenka: did you take a look at 'man echo'? [18:10] yep [18:10] hi to do so that modprobe fsam7440 runs at the boot of the computer ? [18:10] amenado: gnome Desktop...the red button the the upper right corner [18:10] starenka: "-n do not output the trailing newline" didn't work? [18:10] echo -n -> trailing one.. i need no \n on the start [18:10] starenka: sed maybe [18:10] starenka, there is no newline in the beginning [18:11] Ferchault-> i dont have that..did you find it in gconf-editor? [18:11] starenka, if you write to a file you will see that the output starts on the first line [18:11] sophy: add it to /etc/modules [18:11] amenado: I'm asked if I want to shut down my notebook, go to standby, reboot, change user... [18:11] starenka, if you appear to observe a newline, it is the particular newline which the terminal always writes after you type in a command [18:11] amenado: no - it was there since I installed ubuntu ;) [18:12] starenka, echo "$(sudo fdisk -l | grep "Disk /dev/sda" | cut -d" " -f3 )" [18:12] Hello all [18:12] AskHL: yep., from the other point of view :)) well how to concat echo with program output in one line [18:12] Ferchault-> oh okay..let me look around gconf-editor for whats behind that hibernate icon [18:12] Is it possible to let a disk be mountable by normal users (ie. non root)? [18:12] unop: ohoh thanx [18:12] I have an external HDD, and I'd like to be able to mount just that one without sudo [18:13] starenka, if the program output already writes a newline, then you'll have to remove that newline I guess [18:13] starenka: thanks! [18:14] Cpudan80, there are only two ways to mount things [18:14] This is probably a stupid question, but do most of the dock programs require Extra Visual Effects in order to fully take advantage of the aesthetics? [18:14] i need to rip a cd in mp3 192kbps, but neither sound juicer, nor rythmbox will do, because they automatically select OGG... [18:15] Cpudan80, as root modifying the fstab, or with a daemon that looks for new devices and has permissions to mount them [18:15] Cpudan80, the second method is how ubuntu mounts usb drives by default [18:15] unop: I LOVE YOU. awsome, easy :)) [18:15] Ferchault-> which keys you have looked at so far under gnome? [18:15] awesome. [18:16] woli: you can make juicer do mp3's, should be an easy google, but let me know if you can't find it [18:16] !backup [18:16] There are many ways to back your system up.

ENTER works, but not the numbers, / *, - or +. Any ideas????? [18:20] its only MP3 that i cannot select... [18:20] Cpudan80: i dont belive i have. But last time i tryed those it wouldent do i ether. But il try again. Please hold [18:20] unop: well, not.. i need size of whole hdd - not partitions [18:20] woli: wfm, permissions is my first though [18:20] Are there 'drivers' i can reinstall for the keyboard?

[18:22] Cpudan80: went to sys,admin,hdwr no propriatary drivers found [18:22] yettenet, which packages do you find to be too old? maybe a hardy backport could be made for them [18:22] qwerw: What nvidia card is in that thing?

[18:42] not sure how they're fixing it though... [18:42] brightwebworks: oi [18:42] white_eagle: Have you read the wiki entry on sound troubleshooting? [18:42] brightwebworks: you will need to recompile the nvidia kernel module, and you shouldn't use different kernels unless you know what you're doing - its not worth it [18:42] hrm... [18:42] quem é vc? brightwebworks [18:43] a lot of people in here today with a sound prob [18:43] unop: i mean, it must be possible to start je recovery mode, without restart & from remote :S [18:43] PriceChild: Right.

I read once about a program called Envy. [18:44] brightwebworks: why are you using your own kernel? [18:44] newton, well no, you need to be root (via sudo) to be able to change runlevels or shutdown/reboot etc .. but you can't use sudo, so you have a catch 22. [18:44] Cpudan80: Heh, there are ALWAYS tons of people in here with sound problems :p [18:44] brightwebworks: no need for envy [18:44] qwerw: Generally speaking, 1280x1024 is a safe bet [18:44] Hi, has anybody used "BurnIN Test" [ http://www.passmark.com/products/bit.htm ] - Either way, does anybody know any application like this for a linux system?

[19:20] TJ13820, as long as you download the proper build for your cpu arch it should be like installing ubuntu server anywhere else [19:20] no [19:20] it isn't johm1019 [19:20] emma: im installing ubuntu with clean basic install and taking only fluxbox and no GNOME [19:20] as soon as it gets to "Installing extra software" it fails [19:20] after you select your username and password [19:20] hmmm.... [19:21] I can't get Ubuntu to stop being paranoid... [19:21] henux: i'd be interested in the best way to get the most 'clean basic' install also. [19:21] TJ13820, what arch? [19:21] when I try to update it through virtual box, it claims that I'm not "root" [19:21] i386 johnm1019 [19:21] and says that I don't have admin authority [19:21] it is intel dual xeons at 866mhz === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [19:21] bbq^: i cant see any specific file to download [19:22] unop: ok thanks X is working now :))) [19:22] does anyone else have this issue? [19:22] !motion [19:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about motion [19:22] emma: yeah the ubuntu basic install pulls all kinds of stuff [19:22] emma, start with a server base install and take it from there :) [19:22] where is emma: [19:22] ?* [19:22] How can I expand all folders in nautilus instead of just one at a time? [19:22] i installed mini.iso [19:22] nandemonai: but doesn't that come with lots of server specific stuff that is also very heavy? [19:22] they appear to have died [19:23] nvm [19:23] follow the link btb125 to madwife/ubuntu [19:23] i am alive. [19:23] or something similar [19:23] anyone knows about workspace switcher bug in gnome [19:23] does anyone know why Ubuntu doesn't consider me as an admin? [19:23] emma, it's been a while but from memory you have the option to just to a base install, no servers, no gui etc just the base console. [19:23] TJ13820, sounds like u ought to file a bug report [19:24] anyone know about workspace switcher in ubuntu gnome [19:24] nandemonai: ahh in the server install you get that option? [19:24] johnm1019 - alot of people had the same issue, and some resolved some not. It is a problem with the compaq smart array 2 controller [19:24] emma, pretty sure yeah. === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [19:24] I can't get sound running, either [19:24] cool i'm going to check that out. [19:24] btb125, http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/ [19:24] TJ13820, oh ok, well then u know where the problem lies [19:24] yeah, but not a way to fix it [19:25] looks like i cant select more than two desktops using compiz-fusion package [19:25] do you think I should turn off my virtual box, tweak the settings, and try again? [19:25] it seems like it can't write to the SCSI array just after the base system is installed. [19:25] TJ13820, im not sure if the ubuntu installer allows for loading of third party drivers but u might look for a source dev version for that driver, compile it yourself with different cflags for the arch and hot load them into the installer [19:25] TJ13820, sounds like a fixed driver is the only solution [19:25] How can i use a different partition as my home folder? can i just enter it into fstab? and what about the permissions? [19:25] johnm1019 how do i do all of that??? [19:26] TJ13820, well do you have a specific model for your array controller? [19:26] I'm going to go shut off my VM, then tweak with it to see if I can get stuff working [19:26] seeya === jabba is now known as bibfrtuna [19:26] sym53c8xx [19:26] schmolch, you probably want to copy your existing /home directory to the partition .. that would take care of permissions [19:26] how do I get compiz to show the bars above windows ? [19:26] johnm1019 sym53c8xx [19:26] it doesnt work with it [19:27] bbq^: I cant see any link from madwifi.org/ticket/1192 to anything like madwifi/ubuntu [19:27] or if thats not possible how do I disable compiz ? [19:27] unop, so the permissions would not change just because its on a different partition then? [19:27] schmolch, but yea, make an entry in /etc/fstab .. then do sudo mount -a # i guess /home would need to be empty for this to work too, so you should do this in recovery mode or from a live CD [19:27] nah u have to download the file from there btb125 and make install yourself === bibfrtuna is now known as bibfortuna [19:28] download extract, run ./configure make make install etc... [19:28] Hi! My source is not compile when using library. What do I need [19:28] TJ13820, well it looks like a lot of people have problems with this driver -- so I would either try and install an older version of Ubuntu server with an older driver that may work otherwise your probably SOL [19:28] all as root [19:28] thats the madwifi driver package for atheros [19:28] schmolch, depends on how you copy the files over .. this should do. sudo cp -a /home/* /path/to/mount_point/ [19:28] unop, i will try that, thank you. [19:28] johnm1019 - i'm sorry, the problem is, that driver BLOCKS my real driver for the compaq smart array! how do i disable it with boot flags? [19:28] bbq^: download then cd to the folder, make, then make install? [19:28] Could someone tell me how to press "ok" on the gui interface when install java through the terminal and apt? [19:29] apu: use tab to navigate.. then space or enter [19:29] TJ13820, ok now we're getting somewhere (you probably should've said all that ^^ in your orig question line) [19:29] johnm1019, sorry xD [19:29] TJ13820, regular installs have module blacklists but since its an install CD i'm not sure how to modify that [19:30] johnm1019 - so how do you blacklist - period? [19:30] TJ13820, [19:30] TJ13820, http://www.the-little-things.net/blog/?p=32 [19:30] johnm1019: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:30] djhash: thanks, i will try it now [19:30] TJ13820, did that come thru? [19:30] well btb download one of the .tar.gz files to desktop, extract it [19:31] then open terminal, cd /madwififolder then make and install the driver [19:31] djhash: Thanks a lot, [19:31] bbq^: tried and failed, error 2 then error 1 :s [19:32] make: *** [modules] Error 2 [19:32] bbq^: [19:32] johnm1019 ah === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 [19:33] johnm1019 now i have to find a way to black list upon booting from the install CD [19:33] lol btb125 whats the error ? You may need to install some of the kernel libs and headers [19:33] TJ13820, yes, or get to a shell some point after kernel load and just rmmod it [19:33] so u can build the file [19:33] which i can get from bbq^ ? [19:34] johnm1019 - http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/86/ [19:34] How can I expand all folders in nautilus instead of just one at a time? [19:35] johnm1019 - so is that working now :) [19:35] lol using yast [19:35] search for the name of the file that fails [19:35] i am actually just installing suse on the laptop btb125 right now, so give me 5 minutes and i will have the exact same problems as u [19:35] lol [19:35] thanks [19:35] lol [19:36] TJ13820, don't know -- I dont use ubuntu [19:36] actually do me a favour, open your terminal type /sbin/lspci [19:36] see if it list's your wireless there [19:36] no such file or dir [19:37] whats that lspci command?

[19:40] hi [19:40] try that using automatic install link mate, click on the little link at top for suse 11 (if your using 11) [19:41] will be uml or xen updated? [19:41] Anyone know how I can resize my ubuntu partitions? The current root and home partitions fill up the entire hard drive, and cannot be resized from within ubuntu cause they are in use. I cannot boot a livecd or from usb either. Any ideas? (if I could shrink the partition to make space for another one, I could extract an iso to the new one and boot from it.) [19:42] im using ubuntu [19:42] :( [19:42] ok to PM you bbq^ ? [19:42] hey, can anyone explain me what is the "root" line in menu.lst ? [19:42] hi btb 25 [19:42] how are u [19:43] farid: good thx, you? [19:43] tea [19:43] Schuenemann, it's the drive grub should select to use. [19:43] hi, is there any kind of defragmentation tool in Linux that could be good run before making a partition cloning with partimage ? [19:43] unop, how to I know the correct one? [19:43] im fine [19:43] has anyone here gotten wireless to work on a dell xps m1330 with 8.04? [19:43] does anyone here play WoW on Linux? [19:44] plz pm me [19:44] unop, grub is on /dev/sda2 and the partition is /dev/sda3 [19:44] has anyone here gotten wireless to work on a dell xps m1330 with 8.04? pm please [19:45] if somebody has a solution for my ATI Radeon 2900 XT problem in ubuntu, please pm me:) [19:45] Schuenemann, grub starts counting from 0 .. I'm assuming that looks like /boot is on /dev/sda2, so root would be at the second partition of the second physical drive - which gives you. root(hd1,1) [19:46] Wondering anyone know ... would I get everything that I get in Ubuntu 8.04 if I installed ubuntustudio ? [19:46] Schuenemann, if you are looking to install grub.. don't do this manually -- there are tools that do it all for you [19:46] unop, it's already installed, I want to add a new entry [19:47] Schuenemann, ok [19:47] unop, isn't hd0 the current drive? [19:47] what is ubuntustudio [19:47] How can I expand all folders in nautilus instead of just one at a time? Perhaps a script for it or a better place to ask? [19:48] Schuenemann, in the context of a menu.lst that seems incomplete .. but no, it means the first physical drive [19:48] Does somebody know how to make an image of a Linux system installation? (like Acronis Image does with Windows) [19:49] hey, I'm trying to find latex2pdf on ubuntu but I can't find the package. I have tetex installed. Is there an equivalent package? [19:49] unop, I ask that because I installed a distro to a pendrive and menu.lst says hd0,1 (and it works) [19:49] stwange: hold on [19:49] Vinterbound, you can use dd [19:49] I don't know if my computer is a Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM) or Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM) [19:49] to update my ubuntu to the latest verysion ( my version is 7.10 ) i clicked update, but it told me some other app was using apt-get or something [19:49] unop: i'd like to know about that too. can you provide more info? [19:49] how do I know [19:50] i am trying to mount an xfs filesystem with the 'acl' mount option, but it's saying bad option. does the ubuntu kernel not support xfs acls? [19:50] Schuenemann, that only means that that operating system boot from the second partition on the first harddrive -- current drive means different things depending on what was booted, best not to use the term "current" here [19:50] thanks [19:50] TJ13820, about what? [19:50] im feeling hostilities here when people leave [19:50] :( [19:50] unop: copying a hard drive image of ubuntu [19:50] hello, i have my /var directory on a tmpfs. i am trying to recompile the kernel and all went well on boot until /var was not there. what do i have to enable in the kernel to fix this? [19:50] stwange: texlive-latex-base [19:51] unop, oh, but I'm booting directly from the USB flashdrive [19:51] hi [19:51] folks [19:51] Myrtti I think I might have found an equivalent with dvipdfm, if not I'll try that. Thanks [19:51] Vinterbound, TJ13820, well if you want an exact image of a disk or partition. sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/image [19:51] is it better to make a clean install of ubuntu 8.04 then updating my 7.10 ? [19:51] unop, so hd0 is the first pendrive? [19:51] unop can you do that with ISO's? [19:51] Kernel always gets priority over userspace, right? === lekret is now known as dasdajs [19:51] How can I reconfigure X? [19:52] TJ13820, what do you mean? [19:52] unop: for example make an iso of a hard drive [19:52] can anyone tell me where the temporary flash-files are stored on linux (when u stream a movie)? [19:52] anyone know if the ubuntu kernel supports xfs acls? [19:52] Schuenemann, perhaps .. but it depends on your BIOS too, your BIOS might see the usb drive differently [19:52] thanks unop [19:52] !xorg [19:52] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

Really, those page namings are whimsical as far as the mfcs are concerned [20:09] starenka: IP mask? [20:09] I am having a problem with the screen resolution in Hardy [20:09] starenka, man exports ? [20:09] Cpudan80: yep [20:09] starenka: You mean network mask? (255.255.255.0) ? [20:09] iamme: what is your video card? [20:09] unop: cant find it... it says * works only for host names.... [20:09] Cpudan80: port forwarding has to do with NAT setup right? [20:09] I cant figure out [20:09] iamme: lspci [20:09] Cpudan80: no. i need 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.20 @ 255.255.255.0 [20:10] unable to find the package prozilla? [20:10] unop, can you tell me what are the parameters of the kernel like? root=..., ro, etc? [20:10] smanen: yes - so you need to forward from your router to your internal machine [20:10] lspci comes back empty [20:10] kernel line* [20:10] starenka: maybe this is not called mask than ::)) [20:10] starenka: you want 20 IPs for 1 card? [20:10] npope-laptop: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter [20:10] thats the raw output [20:10] Cpudan80: 1card? [20:11] so, not I'm not absolutely (but pretty sure) it's an nvidia [20:11] starenka: normally you only get 1 IP per network interface [20:11] starenka: normally you dont get 20 [20:11] Schuenemann, I would follow an example menu.lst [20:11] npope-laptop: ive tried all the solutions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto as well [20:11] Cpudan80: well, ok i want to share folders for 20 ips on subnet 255.255.255.0 ... [20:11] starenka: you give the number of valid bits, f.i 192.168.1.0/24 for 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.255 [20:12] iamme: let me take a quick look [20:12] Cpudan80, he wants to restrict 20 IP addresess from accessing his NFS export [20:12] How can I expand all folders in nautilus instead of just one at a time? Perhaps a script for it or a better place to ask? [20:12] unop: iptables fyi [20:12] unop: oh.... [20:12] npope-laptop, silliness [20:12] guntbert: oh.. so THIS is how it works :))) [20:12] unop, I am... that's what I see in the other boot options and have no clue what they mean. Anyway, I'll just restart and try instead of bothering you. Thanks [20:12] guntbert: thanx [20:13] starenka: np [20:13] ihi i have a trouble with my printer although it is correcxtly installed , a message say that it is disconnected? [20:13] guntbert:till 192.168.1.254, 255 is used for broadcasting [20:13] iamme: you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:13] guntbert: can you tell me, how it works? [20:13] iamme: can you post your xorg.conf to the pastebot [20:13] guntbert: 24 stands for ... ? [20:14] starenka: the number of bits used to make up the network portion of the IP [20:14] 24 bits in the subnet mask [20:14] it [20:14] 255.255.255.0 [20:14] yeah [20:14] starenka: 24 bit = 3 Bytes, so if you want 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.127 u use 192.168.1.0/25 (1 bit more) [20:14] when I run the dpkg-reconfigure... it never prompts me about video. Just a mention of framebuffers, then moves on to keyboard stuff === danoz is now known as bbq^ [20:15] guntbert: i wouldn't teach him that way because he is talking about limiting on nfs and he isn't going to subnet his addresses he's using /24 [20:15] guntbert: ok but what has 24 bits to do with 128 ips? [20:15] starenka, you'll need two entries. one for 192.168.1.0/28 and another for 192.168.1.16/29 [20:15] barbarella: yes, but the calculation of the addresses is the same [20:15] npope-laptop: http://mibbit.com/pb/Ih3wIZ [20:15] Can anyone see what I am typing? [20:15] starenka, though the second one includes 192.168.1.21 and 192.168.1.22 too [20:15] Thanatoast: yes [20:16] lol. That's disappointing. [20:16] Thanatoast: haha [20:16] No one has any experience with nautilus, I guess [20:16] nevermind guys.. will read something concerning this issue.. thanx for showing the way [20:17] iamme: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didnt seem to do anything... try switching to init 3 (sudo init 3) then reissue sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:17] Thanatoast: check in gconf-editor [20:17] Thanatoast: You're question was sort of vague to begin with. What on earth does that mean? === L is now known as Guest28783 [20:17] npope-laptop: ok [20:17] where can i get help with live cd on an older dell laptp [20:17] irv: whats the problem [20:18] i can't seem to get the operating system to recognize my wireless [20:18] Instead of clicking on the tiny triangle for each folder in nautilus to expand the folder, I want to be able to expand all of them at the same time [20:18] hola [20:18] Hi there....got a small problem I need help with [20:18] Flannel: is it possible that my router does not support ssh? [20:18] irv: thats not a problem... it is proprieary thats why it doesnt work, youll have to install the firmware for the wireless card [20:18] I installed Hardy on a Toshiba Portege M200 tablet [20:18] cpierce: I didn't give an exact answer, wanted to point a sensible way to do the calculations himself :) [20:18] irv: lspci to see what your wireless is [20:19] can i get some help my ex hd wont mount anymore [20:19] starenka, something like this /share -alldirs -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.240 and /share -alldirs -network 192.168.1.16 -mask 255.255.255.248 [20:19] smanen: If the router does do port forwarding, it'll work. packets are packets. [20:19] dstrbdfrk: is it in fstab? [20:19] Flannel: when i go to remote management i see : 1)FTP 2)Telnet 3) Web [20:19] I got everthing working properly except sound. Every install guide I read, and I read a lot of them getting the damn tablet rotation working, says sound should work out of the box [20:19] the IrcGuidelines (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines) says the bot is called "ubotu" where at the moment at least he appears to be called "ubottu". it says not to edit the page without asking though, so this is just to let any mods or anything know [20:19] npope-laptop: doesnt change anything [20:19] smanen: more likely scenario is that your ISP forbids SSH traffic [20:19] smanen: No "port forwrding" sort of stuff? [20:19] nope-laptop: I just want to experience linux without installing it. How do I install a firmware into "virtual memory". I'm really a newbie at this. [20:19] grrr. whats your resolution 800x600? [20:19] nopoe-laptop: whats fstab? [20:20] iamme: grrr. whats your resolution 800x600? [20:20] tremby: ubottu is the stand in [20:20] npope-laptop: it just asks about a kernel framebuffer and then goes to kb stuff and my res is 800x600 [20:20] it's usually ubotu is it? ok [20:20] unop: ok. stil not getting the things... need to read smthng more about tcpip i guess :OO [20:20] Any ideas? [20:20] Flannel: there is NAT (Network adressing translation) [20:20] smanen; how about virtual server? [20:20] irv: idk if you can... it would be in system, administration, Hardware Drivers... gonna have to be connected to a wired connection to install it though [20:20] tremby: lately ubottu has been standing in a lot -- not sure what's been happening with ubottu lately [20:20] Flannel: that is what i have used up to now to open ports [20:21] smanen: Do you have (along the left side) Wizard Setup, Advanced Setup, Maintenence, Log out? [20:21] npope-laptop; it says the log file indicates unclean shutdown [20:21] iamme: did this happen after the recent kernel upgrade? [20:21] dstrbdfrk: run a check on it [20:21] Does anyone know why I can't install XP? It says "Unknown Disk" on setup but my hard drive is formatted ntfs, also i can install vista no problem, just not xp... [20:21] how do i do that ? [20:21] npope-laptop: i dont think so, i just freshly installed the system about 2 hrs ago and havent put any upgrades on it [20:21] npope-laptop: what's "idk" [20:21] dstrbdfrk: e2fsck [20:21] starenka, read up on subnetting and address summarization .. 192.168.1.0/28 includes address from 192.168.1.0 upto 192.168.1.15 .. the second one includes address from .16 upto .22 [20:21] irv: i dont know [20:22] ekow: sata drive [20:22] !windows | ekow [20:22] ekow: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[20:22] unop: thanx. a new thing every day. life is beautiful :)) [20:22] Flannel: yes [20:23] npope-laptop: I'll reboot and take a look to see if it's there. Thanks [20:23] smanen: go into advanced, then NAT, is the title of that page something like "Edit SUA/NAT Server Set"? [20:23] BRB [20:23] Flannel: yes [20:23] npope-laptop: stock hp pavilion 540n w/ p4 processor @ 1.6GHz, 256 megs of ram, and i believe 32 megs of video memory [20:24] Does anyone know how I can use a .dem file? [20:24] smanen: right, that's where you do port forwarding. 22, 22, ipaddress [20:24] Flannel: 1) None 2) SUA only 3) Full feature [20:24] npope-laptop: its actually not mine, just a friends who asked me to put linux on [20:24] Hmm. Figured it out. Damn volume control had everything muted [20:24] smanen: SUA only [20:24] smanen: and then Edit Details [20:24] Question: I added a Launchpad User's "PPA" repository for a patched build of UFRaw to fix a bug, and that works great, but he also has a bunch of other patches/updates that ubuntu is trying to get me to install. How do i disable this without ruining his patched UFRaw? [20:25] Flannel: that is what i have done [20:25] Hi people... Can anybody tell me how to make mi Toshiba A205-S5000 Wifi work? I've followed all the instructions about madwifi, ndiswrapper and nowthing happened... Only with ndiswrapper but when I restart it brokes down again [20:25] Leefmc: just download the one deb file and install it manually [20:25] npope-laptop: brb, gonna see if increasing the vid memory in bios helps. it has shared vid memory [20:25] unop: well, it works, but the directory is empty... i got the dirs on source machine binded (because of proftpd)- is that a problem? [20:25] Flannel: You can download deb files from the launchpad ppa's? How? (Im new to launchpad aswell, all a bit foreign to me :) === lmartin92 is now known as lmartin92isAFK [20:25] Flannel can you help me with this ndiswrapper package? [20:25] smanen: Alright, do you have any other services on this computer? say... http? so we can just check to see if the forwarding is working? [20:26] how do i run a check on my ex hd? [20:26] Flannel: yes [20:26] Quick Question, are wire less cards interchangable [20:26] Flannel: how can i check? [20:26] How do I install something using a deb file? :S [20:26] Aturner44 dpkg -i filename.deb [20:26] just that in terminal? [20:26] Aturner44 yes [20:27] smanen: Port forward port 80, and then see if your web server works with your external IP [20:27] okay, well ill go try that :D and if it doesnt work ill most likely be back lol. [20:27] hi [20:27] thankyou very much. [20:27] Aturner44: to add it to your repos: dev [url] blah, go to that URL [20:27] cpierce: I don't see how gconf-editor is going to tell me what button to press to expand sub-folders? [20:27] Hi, i am looking for a good password manager that runs on linux, preferably can also be boot thru a thumbdrive, can anyone help me out? [20:27] whoops, typo in the channel name [20:27] how do i use e2sck to fix my external harddrive [20:27] dstrbdfrk: man e2fsck [20:28] dstrbdfrk: assuming in ext* [20:28] Flannel: ok [20:28] Radux_: keepass [20:28] Hi people... Can anybody tell me how to make mi Toshiba A205-S5000 Wifi work? I've followed all the instructions about madwifi, ndiswrapper and nowthing happened... Only with ndiswrapper but when I restart it brokes down again [20:28] Flannel: i have forwarded port 80 [20:28] Radux_: also available on win... [20:28] npope-laptop ; im super new man lol i dont understand i typed e2fsck in terminal and it didnt seem to do anythng [20:29] Leefmc: to add it to your repos, you have: "deb [url] blah" in your sources.list, go to that [URL] [20:29] Flannel: K === LordMetro is now known as LordMetroid [20:29] !keepass | Radux_ [20:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about keepass [20:29] Flannel: when i write the external ip (the one i get from ipchicken.com) i go back to the router config page [20:29] !keepassx | Radux_ [20:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about keepassx [20:29] Leefmc: then once there, go to pool, and then theyre listed by first letter [20:29] starenka, i thought keepass was windows only? [20:29] Flannel: The only thing is, wont installing the deb cause the same core problem as if i just removed the repo? The core problem being, ubuntu will continually try to downgrade UFRaw? [20:30] Radux_: nope... [20:30] smanen: Mmmmm, yeah, That makes sense. [20:30] Leefmc: no, it won't try and downgrade [20:30] starenka, linux.com article from 2005 lol. So at one point it was I guess. [20:30] smanen: Are you running ssl on that webserver? [20:30] Flannel: So can i just remove the repo, instead of reinstalling the deb? [20:30] Thanatoast: the first time you asked the question it was so broad I thought it might be an option you were looking for [20:30] Radux_: i dont know if it is in repos ( i think it is keepassx), if not get it from their site... [20:30] Leefmc: Yeah [20:30] whereis e2fsck | awk '{print $2}' | xargs man [20:30] starenka, yea i saw it on google :) [20:31] I am not sure how to make my question more specific [20:31] Radux_: dunno, i use it. dunne where i got it [20:31] Flannel: i don't know what ssl is [20:31] Flannel: let me google it [20:31] smanen: Alright. Don't worry about it then. [20:31] Flannel: Gotcha, thanks :). I swore ubuntu did that though, because i seem to recall it doing that to some custom builds i had, if i remember right i had to put holds on them and only use aptitude, or ubuntu would downgrade my build.. am i not correct? [20:31] what's with the new kernel updates? what is a kernel? [20:31] Can anybody please help me to make my Atheros Wireless card work? [20:31] Flannel: Or are the two different issues (custom build, vs "newer" deb) [20:31] Leefmc: No, Ubuntu won't downgrade package versions unless you tell it to. [20:31] Flannel: Huh, k :) [20:32] Leefmc: If the version in the repos is *higher* than the manually installed version, it will try and upgrade. [20:32] starenka, Ah i see, keepass is windows only, keepassx is linux :D [20:32] remczy: have your tried wicd? I found it helpful [20:32] just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on ASUS eee 901. has two SSD's, one 4gb (OS) and other 16gb. The 16gb was /home under Xandros and I want it to be /home now for Ubuntu. Can I change this without reinsttalling? [20:32] Radux_: oh, but it looks the same... :))) [20:32] I've tried all... but It only works at the moment... when I restart it goes down again... === igormorgado is now known as Lin [20:33] Flannel: so what should be next step? [20:33] smanen: We're going to assume your router port forwards correctly, and that the issue is your ISP blocking connections on port 22. We'll change your SSH server's port number (and the forwarded port number) and see if it works. This will also give you a lot less spam on your ssh server. [20:34] Flannel: ok [20:34]  just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on ASUS eee 901. has two SSD's, one 4gb (OS) and other 16gb. The 16gb was /home under Xandros and I want it to be /home now for Ubuntu. Can I change this without reinsttalling? [20:34] what's with the new kernel updates? what is a kernel? [20:34] starenka, yea, its just a windows port. also for the record it is in the repos, but its an older version [20:34] kernel is something which lets use your hardware [20:34] smanen: so, while we're here (at the router page), we might as well do that. So, pick another port number (something higher) that isn't used for anything else that you know of. [20:34] Flannel: so i have to change ssh server port [20:35] smanen: Someone earlier had suggested 2222 [20:35] hey [20:35] ok [20:35] Radux_: hehe, yep just dled the .deb and gdebi says, i have older ver in repos... :)) [20:35] onetb: im not an expert, but you should be able to at least make that /home without formatting [20:35] ok [20:35] ola [20:35] ok [20:35] hi [20:35] hello [20:35] ok [20:35] anyone runs MuOnline on ubuntu? [20:35] OK. I have a folder with 2,665 sub-folders. I want to expand all of those 2,665 sub-folders at the same time in nautilus. Rather than clicking on the 2,665 triangles. Is that possible and if so, how? [20:35] f [20:35] iamme: I thought so, but I can't find guides on it [20:35] smanen: It doesn't really matter, as long as you can rememberit, and its not stepping on the toes of somethign else you're running. The config is the very top of /etc/ssh/sshd_config [20:35] starenka, does it go under the apps menu somewhere, or do you have to boot it by cli? [20:36] i installed ubuntu desktop on my lap top in dual mode , but i cant connet to my modem wireless .. trough wirelless , only by cable why ? [20:36] Flannel: ok [20:36] hi all [20:36] so does anyone know how to change where /home is located? [20:36] onetb: by doing a manual install, you can just change the /home partiton's mount point [20:36] Flannel: let me vim it [20:36] smanen: remember that once you change that config file, you'll need to restart your sshd, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [20:36] onetb: a manual partition in the installer [20:36] how do I disable read/write caching? Its giving me errors when using partimage [20:36] Radux_: i think keepass works... [20:36] yeah, but I don't wanna reinstall [20:37] Radux_: which says: /usr/bin/keepass [20:37] sebrock: man hdparm [20:37] onetb: in you /etc/fstab do /dev/your-16gb partition /home ext3-or-whatever-partition-that-is defaults 0 0 [20:37] starenka, yes i just did it thru alt+f2 then keepassx [20:37] onetb: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ [20:37] Flannel: ok [20:38] Flannel: done editing and restarting [20:38] amal029: i think I follow. let me check it out [20:38] Radux_: dunno maybe i made alias or symlink :)) [20:38] * Arkenklo sez Oh noes! [20:38] starenka, is there a guide that describes how to use it well? [20:38] Radux_: it's a good while ago :))) [20:38] Flannel: now i have to port forward right? === igormorgado is now known as Lin [20:38] Radux_: how to use what? keepass? it pretty easy app. you will figure it out in a sec.. [20:38] Synaptic is showing me an old version of a package which does not even exist in that repo ... and becasue of this I cannot install the app .... please help [20:38] atlef: AWESOME [20:39] bobernet, its a sata drive so that wont work. however you dont know the exact way? [20:39] starenka, well for example, i want to create a new database, but it also has a key file thing, whats that about? [20:39] smanen: yeah, you need to update the port forward [20:39] okay...can anyone help me with "ndiswrapper utils"? I have installed ndiswrapper and when i try to use it i get a message saying "no ndiswrapper utils found" and I dont know what to do now lol [20:39] Radux_: never used such, sorry... i just use it to store & generate passes [20:40] please help [20:40] ok, can anybody else help me fix my screen resolution? [20:40] Flannel: hmmm [20:40] Flannel: i did it all [20:40] starenka, and thats why I asked for a guide or something,lol. I get the idea of you generate a database then put in whatever you like but wasnt sure about the key file thing [20:40] Flannel: but when i try to ssh the local ip i can only do it from 22 port [20:40] sebrock: use sdparm, then. it's very's simpl -W is write, i don't remember the switch for read [20:40] sebrock: man sdparm will tell you. [20:40] smanen: Did you remember to save your config changes before restarting? [20:41] smanen: or did you just edit it in RAM? :) [20:41] starenka, found what i needed [20:41] Radux_: ok.. [20:41] Flannel: i saved it xD [20:41] smanen: and you restarted ssh? (and it worked fine?) [20:41] Flannel: should the # before every line in the file bother me? [20:42] smanen: Every line? [20:42] Flannel: well not every line [20:42] smanen: Is there a # in front of the Port line? [20:42] Flannel: # Port 2222 [20:42] smanen: ... uncomment that [20:43] smanen: That's odd that that's there. But just uncomment it and we'll be fine [20:43] Hello. Can someone recommend a SMS Gateway/server for Linux which is free? [20:43] Flannel: can i pastebin the file so that you can read it? [20:43] Flannel: almost everything there is commented [20:43] smanen: If you want, sure. But that comment was the problem. I don't need to see much else. [20:44] Flannel: ok [20:44] what can i use for running windows programs on an amd pc? [20:44] smanen: the two lines under it (ListenAddress and ListenAddress) are both commented out, right? [20:44] btb125: ? [20:44] do you guys know of any media servers for linux ? [20:44] sebrock: sdparm -W0 /dev/sda disables write cacheing. there's no command to disable read cacheing that i could see. [20:45] Flannel: i don't have those lines (i better pastebin it) [20:45] bobernet ok thanks [20:45] i need help with a resolution problem in Hardy [20:45] iamme: what's the problem? [20:45] Is there a simple way to encrypt a file, specifically so it can only be opened when a password is given, I need this to work on both ubuntu and winxp [20:46] bobernet: it says the max resolution is 960x600, but it is at least 1024x768 [20:46] how i can to live my gnome in ubuntu 8.04 , in nautilus when i coping a file , size of the file doesn't change , how can i live it? [20:46] bobernet: ive tried all the stuff at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto, and none of it worked [20:46] iamme: what video driver are you using? [20:46] What does living a file mean? [20:47] Radux_: http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2006/07/pgp-symmetric-encryption/ [20:47] Flannel: you can see the file at pastebin.com [20:47] smanen: you need to give the URL [20:47] bobernet: the standard one for this card from lspci 'VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter ' [20:48] hey everyone [20:48] Flannel: i am not sure if this is it: http://pastebin.com/m6c317617 === blitz_ is now known as _blitz [20:49] hello? [20:49] PriceChild, that seems awfully complicated [20:49] iamme: what video driver are you using in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for your video card? [20:49] i'm deploying an ubuntu web server and i'm having problems pinging the outside world [20:49] smanen: ah. Whats the name of the file you're editing? [20:50] Radux_: to encrypt... gpg --symmetric filename [20:50] Radux_: to decrypt... gpg -d filename [20:50] Can anyone tell me why when i start up ubuntu it starts up in "busybox built in shell"? [20:50] bobernet: it doesnt say anything about drivers in the 'monitor' or 'screen' sections [20:50] like no driver line [20:50] i just got the ndiswrapper working too :@ [20:50] Flannel: /etc/ssh/ssh_config [20:51] PriceChild, but does it work with winxp? [20:51] smanen: right. we want /etc/ssh/sshd_config [20:51] bobernet: this is my xorg.conf [20:51] iamme: what video card is in you machine? [20:51] http://mibbit.com/pb/qGzZfz [20:51] is there an easy way to resolve "No audio in Flash" ? [20:51] Ikelo1: How may we help you? [20:51] It was working, and now, it's not. [20:51] Radux_: ahh for winxp... i think there is a gpg for that... but no idea [20:51] Flannel: ok sorry [20:51] PriceChild, can you help me? [20:51] Radux_: I know that 'truecrypt' is cross-platform, and is graphical [20:52] Oh I'm sorry bobertdos [20:52] smanen: No worries. That's the config for ssh clients, not sshd, the server (daemon). [20:52] audio in general works, just not audio in flash videos etc. [20:52] bobernet: from lspci it appears to be a 'VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter ' [20:52] was looking at something else for a minute [20:52] how do I disable automatic cpufreq, so that it runs at the maximum all the time? [20:52] Aturner44: what message is it telling you? [20:52] Flannel: i see [20:52] PriceChild, i was hoping there was a simple solution, thanks for the help though, i'll look around. [20:52] Hi guys, I don't know what is going on. Everytime I reboot, I don't have access to the web. It looks like I need to start firestarter and then turn off the firewall. When I start it again, everything works as normal... Pretty weird [20:53] Flannel: ssh smanen.homelinux.com -p 2222 [20:53] Flannel: ssh smanen.homelinux.com -p 2222 [20:53] I got a really strange problem with ubuntu hardy and the fglrx driver === mill is now known as Iamdutch [20:53] Everywhere it says its enabled [20:53] Flannel: connection refused [20:53] but when i type in the terminal: fglrxinfo [20:53] it says mesa drivers... [20:53] how i change that? [20:53] iamme: in the Device section, try adding Driver "sis" [20:53] anyways from what I understand, the audio drivers in Linux can only handle one process at a time accessing the sound card in a system, and I recently opened up totem to listen to some sound files [20:53] "Assuming driver cache: write through" [20:54] bobernet: ok, brb [20:54] Can anyone tell me how I can tell which kernel version I am using? [20:54] then I opened firefox and went to youtube [20:54] its just starting up in like terminal kind of thing :S [20:54] how i can to live my gnome in ubuntu 8.04 , in nautilus when i coping a file , size of the file doesn't change , how can i live it? [20:54] BlueKoala: uname -r [20:54] atlef: Thanks! [20:54] does anyone here hate me? [20:54] realizing that this was a mistake, I went and killed totem and that instence of firefox and restarted the browser [20:54] !ping [20:54] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [20:54] ivantis_, obviously me. Obviously. [20:54] Hello. Can someone recommend a SMS Gateway/server for Linux which is free? [20:55] which has a GUI [20:55] however, it still wont seem to connect to the sound card, and im not sure what to do.... [20:55] Ikelol, what made you think sound drivers can only handle one audio source at a time? [20:55] I went to view processes and pulse audio is still sleeping [20:55] Ikelo1: Which one do you want to have control? Totem or Firefox? [20:55] smanen: Does it work with your internal IP? [20:55] ivantis_: what do you need? [20:56] Flannel: yes [20:56] can anyone tell me why my computer is starting up in "Busy box built in shell" and saying "Assuming driver cache: write through" :@ [20:56] smanen: Alright, instead of the homelinux thing, try your actual IP [20:56] Ikelo1, there should be no problem with what you did ? I have done that many times before [20:56] firefox at this moment and in answer to the other question some one informed me that is just the way it workd, and I took their word on it... >.> [20:56] bobernet: nothing, some people in #armagetron are just rly annoyed with me [20:56] Flannel: you mean the router external ip right? [20:56] hey all [20:56] smanen: yeah, go to whatismyip.com or whatever [20:57] Ikelo1: More specifically, you want flash to have it, right? [20:57] Radux_: it's easy enough to create a menu item in nautilus that will run gpg --symmetric FILE. Nautilus will already decrypt such a file automatically [20:57] yes I'm sorry your are correct [20:57] Flannel: connection refused [20:57] can anyone tell me why my computer is starting up in "Busy box built in shell" and saying "Assuming driver cache: write through" and how to get it back to normal? :@ [20:57] should I kill pulseaudio and re-start the browser? [20:57] I will just assume that it is not possible and move on, I suppose [20:57] Ikelo1: If you installed Flash 9 from the repos, you will also want to install libflashsupport. [20:57] i have a question, i used nvidia-settings to setup dual view i have my laptop connected to my tv via hdmi and 1080, on my tv i can see my background and if i mouse over i can see my mouse on my tv, but i try and drag my totem window over to the tv and nothing, how do i start totem on my TV? display #2 [20:57] ??? [20:58] !repeat | Aturner44 [20:58] Aturner44: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [20:58] Aturner44: do you have a CD in the drive? did you boot to recovery mode? [20:58] okay sorry [20:58] smanen: And you're sure your forwarding to the right internal IP and stuff? that is, your server? [20:58] Alright thank you [20:58] umm, there is a game in the cd driver yes :S [20:59] Flannel: yes [20:59] Flannel: 2222 2222 192.168.0.42 [20:59] Aturner44: are you sure you're booting from the bootloader/root partition on your hdd and not the CD? [20:59] bobernet: i added that line in the 'Monitor' section, and upon restarting X, it gave me an 'Ubuntu Low Resolution Warning' message, and still didnt work, even when i selected 1024x768 as the resolution [20:59] smanen: Don't know what to tell you. It's a problem with the port forwarding of your router [20:59] Flannel: ok [20:59] how I change the default governor? [20:59] iamme: define "didn't work" [20:59] Flannel: thanks for the help [21:00] smanen: Try doing port 2221 to 2223 instead of 2222 to 2222 [21:00] ill take the disk out and reboot but i think so yes. [21:00] bobernet: it is still at 800x600, what it was before i tried that [21:00] jrib, sure, but the problem is XP [21:00] smanen: Oh, did you hit "save" on thebottom of that screen after editing? [21:00] Radux_: I agree with you there. The problem is XP [21:01] Flannel: doesnt work [21:01] Flannel: yes i saved [21:01] bobertdos Thank you for your help that seems to have fixed the problem [21:01] jrib, i've just decided to go with a weak password, kept on its own 128mb usb key :) === os2mac is now known as Guest25371 [21:02] iamme: k. to the xorg.conf, in the Screen section, add SubSection "Display Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection where each means hit the Enter key [21:02] Flannel: if i do sudo tcpdump port 2222 and i ssh smanen.homelinux.com -p 2222 i get some feedback [21:02] jrib, i have a 63char entirely random pass i am using on my pass manager, so to remember that would be tough, doing it this way should work easily enough. [21:02] Radux_: write a poem or something :) [21:02] Flannel: so i'd say the router is properly forwarding [21:02] jrib, lmfao [21:03] Radux_: sentences are the best passwords [21:03] iamme: can you paste the lspci output for your vid card again, as well [21:03] jrib, roses are red, violets are blue, dont you dare try and get into this file you bastard. [21:03] Flannel, thats not true === jimmacdonald is now known as os2mac [21:04] Flannel, what is better? ' I like long walks on the beach ' or '14@bnsdfHJKJl*=&#gfjhn' lol. more random then that though. [21:04] anyone having issues with nvidia drivers? [21:04] <_blitz> deebus, not I, nvidia-glx is better than ever [21:04] Flannel: i must go have dinner thanks for the help [21:04] I go into "hardware drivers", enable the nvidia driver, but in the "nvidia settings" tool, it says it appears I'm not using the nvidia driver. what gives? [21:04] Flannel: see you later [21:05] <_blitz> deebus, did you reboot X after enabling it? [21:05] bobernet: it appears that the low res warning config already added that [21:05] Radux_: Well, "I like long walks on the beach" doesn't include any puncutation or numbers, but if you changed it to include those... randomness doesn't really matter. [21:05] blitz: yes, I did [21:05] bobernet: ill reboot just to be sure [21:05] restarted X, even restarted my box altogether [21:05] Flannel, well it does. Sorta. The only benefit of a sentence is being able to remember it. [21:05] iamme: that's good. did it also add BusID to the Device section for your card? [21:06] <_blitz> deebus, check out your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see what youre usin [21:06] Radux_: Can you remember 14@bnsdfHJKJl*=&#gfjhn? [21:06] Flannel, thats what I said above. Thus the best way I see it is to have a password manager with all those funky passwords in it [21:06] Radux_: Remembering passwords is a key part of having a password. [21:06] blitz: driver is "nvidia" [21:07] Flannel, for sure, thats why I like the idea of having a usb key or something similar with that odd key on it. So unless they have the physical drive, they cant get the pass. [21:07] Flannel, check this site out ; https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm [21:07] If I use VNC via the remote desktop preference page, and then realvnc on a windows machine to control my ubuntu desktop, do I have to be logged in already on Ubuntu? [21:07] <_blitz> deebus, hmm .. well, youre using the nvidia driver then if thats any consolation [21:07] hi all. got a problem with nvidia after update today on my thinkpad. [21:08] didn't pay much attention to what was updating, since i've never had problems in the last 2 years... [21:08] <_blitz> maybe this nvidia thing just started? :P [21:08] i tried going back to prev kernel, but i still have this error [21:08] <{_SmOkE_}> kkk [21:08] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [21:08] but lsmod: [21:08] nvidia 4718832 0 [21:09] !enter|sully [21:09] sully: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:09] btw if anyone else asks about ubuntu and blinking on games they are running ati cards and need to turn off visual effects while playing games. [21:09] Radux_: how about a device that has passwords generated via satellite, and updated every 2 minutes [21:09] Hmm, if anyone cares. It looks like Shift (or maybe ctrl) and the numberpad + key is now expanding all the sub-folders in nautilus, gonna take a little while to do it [21:09] danbfive, already have a few of those [21:09] sully_6119, re-install your nvida driver [21:10] so it will recompile to your current kernel [21:10] Unseen: tried that too. with this: [21:10] bobernet: it works!!!!! [21:10] danbhfive, , already have a few of those [21:10] bobernet: i guess adding the driver line messed it up, loading that utility, which made it work :P [21:11] the Ubuntu cd image is 690MB but I only have 650MB cd's.. is there anyway I could still do this, via some kind of compression? I'm only 40mb away.... [21:11] Unseen: hrm, command isn't in history. did it through recovery console. but it was something like: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new... [21:11] i have X, but of course it runs at 800x600 :( [21:11] how about downloading the driver from nvida and run it [21:12] perillux: Unfortunately not. You could, however, use the minimal CD, which is only 8mb. [21:12] hello? [21:12] bobernet: well thanks [21:12] sully_6119, you could try using envy [21:12] Just wondering ... would I get everything that I get in Ubuntu 8.04 if I installed ubuntustudio ? [21:12] sully_6119 - dpkg -l | grep nvidia to see what you have installed [21:12] Radux_: envy? [21:12] sully_6119: Try sudo apt-get autoremove --purge nvidia-settings nvidia-glx-new nvidia-new-kernel-source and then reinstall [21:12] Flannel: what features would I lose? [21:13] perillux: You'd only lose the fact that you'd be forced to connect to the internet during the install (instead of afterwards) to download packages. [21:13] Radux_: mk. I just figure that they are better than just storing your passes on a flash drive. You thought it would make it so that only the holder of the drive could use it, but thats not true. Its still anyone who knows the pass, flash in hand or not [21:13] sully_6119, it searches for the best driver to use, and does a damn good job of installing it properly. In my case, it was the only way to get my drivers to install properly [21:13] perillux: The installed system will be identical (also, it won't be a liveCD) [21:13] Hi - I Live in the UK, Can anyone suggest an ubuntu compatible webcam? [21:13] Flannel: is something like that available for Intrepid Ibex yet? [21:13] afternoon folks, I made a launcher for my desktop but this is for a terminal ap, how do I make it start the ap in a terminal ? [21:13] LordFDisk: You can easily convert between the two. I'm not sure what the studio flavor includes that the normal one wouldn't, but if there is anythign you can make sure you aren' [21:13] danbhfive, sure, lol. I've decided its easier just to remember a sentance and change it once a week or something. like 'clowns have fangs during the night' then ' sunset comes just after sunrise' could be the week after' [21:14] LordFDisk: make sure you aren't missing them afterwards. (either way too, so if you have Ubuntu and want to add Studio, thats easy as well) [21:14] Hi all. [21:14] <_blitz> Pelo, move the pulldown box when you make it [21:14] Does VNC support remote login? [21:14] hello [21:15] duiu: no [21:15] thanks _blitz I should have known this [21:15] Flannel: where can I find that 8mb download? [21:15] Flannel, ya I running Ubuntu 64-bit now. [21:15] hello, i am trying to cut a custom kernel and have my /var and /tmp directory going to tmpfs but when booting it complains that tmpfs cannot be found and then klogd errors. what do i need to do to fix this issue?

[21:16] bobernet: Do you know of a similar service that does? [21:16] Osse: "queue manager"? [21:16] The rar softwares are very slow =/ [21:16] Syco54645: enable the tmpfs filesystem driver in your custom kernel and rebuild [21:16] jrib? [21:16] Osse: what does that mean?

[21:16] my friend has set up an ubuntu server, and since setting it up, he's been unable to ping [21:16] bobernet: or is it located elsewhere and i am just an idiot [21:16] duiu: login, and run xlock or something similar to lock the desktop while away. then vnc will work [21:16] hi there ^^ [21:16] LordFDisk: Unfortunately Studio doesn't subscribe to the single-package metapackage at the moment, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromHardy [21:16] jrib - That allows me to queue several rar sequences. [21:17] can someone actually help me fix my sound config?? w/o sending me to redundant websites? [21:17] I would like a GUI for this. [21:17] LordFDisk: Theres only a handful of packages [21:17] I'm not very good with scripts and such. [21:17] Someknow how to fix the problem that i want to use fglrx driver (ATi restricted driver) but ubuntu all the time uses the MESA/VESA driver... [21:17] ? [21:17] duiu: X must be running for vnc to be of any use [21:17] Flannel: so when all is completed it should be exactly the same as if I had used the LiveCD correct? [21:17] Syco54645: Did you build it in or as a module? if the latter, the module must be loaded [21:17] Flannel, Kewl thanks I will read on it ... [21:18] Hey, how do I uninstall ubuntu from a partition? I did a manual install. My windows partition is 400GB and my ubuntu is 100. When I go into Windows it says I only have a 400GB HDD. I'm just sayin that to inform you if I did something wrong. (Sorry that was long) [21:18] Osse: what's wrong with nautilus? [21:18] perillux: yes, the installed system will be the same [21:18] im looking to record music via multi track... is there free software outthere that can do multitrack recording??

[21:26] zedfloyd: dunno; google is your friend [21:26] zethero1: The version of what? [21:26] any issues with mdadm or software raid with upgrading? [21:26] ubntu [21:26] *ubuntu [21:26] does anyone have any suggestions for steps that he might have missed [21:26] erUSUL: gotcha [21:26] he just installed from the latest install media [21:26] bobertdos: I have the AWN repo added and the vesion is not the one in the AWN repos [21:26] I have 2 TB that I don't want to wipe out [21:26] with an upgrade [21:26] Osse: you'll probably have to script something then [21:27] I don't have any sound when firefox is running, otherwise I do. Everything is set to use ALSA, thoughts on fixing it? [21:27] Syco54645: is it an Eee PC? [21:27] erUSUL, hmm wnen i tried rm it would let me remove them [21:27] Hello [21:27] jmicklos: upgrading to what? [21:27] obf213: ? [21:27] bobernet: it is acer's answer to eee [21:28] andrewaclt: Install libflashsupport if you have flash 9 from the repos. [21:28] erUSUL, the problem was the folders with names like "Happy Days" it would split up the name [21:28] obf213: «find folder_of_mp3 -name '*.ini' -print0 | xargs -0 rm » [21:28] \nick thirdgear [21:28] i just installed hardy server, and after the first reboot grub gives me: "Error 15: File not found" ...wth? [21:28] obf213: my fault xargs needs -0 [21:28] hello all, can someone tell me howto find the type of filesystem a drive is mounted as ? [21:28] I did a manual install of Ubuntu on my PC, on a separate partition from windows. (100GB to ubuntu 400gb to windows) When I go into Windows it says I only have 400GB. Is that normal? [21:28] Ubuntu bug 400 in ttf-larabie "ttf-larabie-* packages do not contain any fonts" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/400 [21:28] zethero1: I wouldn't call that a Synaptic problem. Whoever maintains that repo probably loaded a new version into the repo and forgot to update the info. [21:29] erUSUL, thanks. what can I google to figure ouot what just did? is there a name for what we just did? [21:29] Syco54645: have you been through this: wiki.aspireone.net/index.php/How_to_install_GNU/Linux_Ubuntu_8.04.1_on_Acer_Aspire_One ? [21:29] abrahm: cat /proc/mounts [21:29] Does anyone know of any issues with mdadm or software raid in general when upgrading from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04? [21:29] thanks :) [21:29] bobertdos: been chatting with the maintainers for over an hour ... its all good on their end [21:29] Flannel: hello again [21:29] bobernet: of course, it isnt stated in there. [21:29] bobertdos And then switch everything to pulse audio rather than alsa? [21:29] upgrading [21:29] Flannel: i just got confirmation that port forwarding works properly [21:30] outbriber: upgrading [21:30] Syco54645: It implies that tmpfs works fine with the stock kernel [21:30] andrewaclt: No, just install it and try everything the way it is. [21:30] obf213: find finds files we just searched for files whose names match *.ini then we passed the list of names to xargs which in turn passed the nems one by one to rm [21:30] obf213: man find [21:30] hi. Is the Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) ethernet controller supported on Ubuntu 8.04? [21:30] Syco54645: and you said you already built a kernel matching the stock .config exactly. so you or they are wrong. one or the other. [21:30] Flannel: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ports/ port 2222 [21:30] Flannel: says my port is open [21:30] cool thanks [21:30] JuVV: the r8169 module should support it. [21:30] I've determined that Xine is making it so that I can't play MP3s. Is it ok to uninstall Xine and it's related packages? [21:31] jmicklos: I just upgraded to 8.10 beta 4 (pretty sure) with no problem with data loss. a bunch of settings were changed with programs that were reinstalled [21:31] zethero1: Have you reloaded the list recently? [21:31] bobertdos, works wonderfully, thanks [21:31] Flannel: but i can't ssh myself yet [21:31] erUSUL: will i have to install anything seperately? [21:31] bobernet: as i stated before, linpus did not place /var in tmpfs, that is something that i did to speed up the machine (as per the wiki that you pasted) [21:31] andrewaclt: no problem [21:31] JuVV: hopefully not [21:31] Or is Xine a nessicary package? [21:31] bobertdos: dozens of times [21:32] bobertdos, Is their an explanation as to why it works? [21:32] bobernet: i am sitting here at the screen right now. it says things such as "whoen failed to get attributes of '/var/log/dmesg' no such file or directory [21:32] Syco54645: As you stated before, you did it with a custom kernel that you built. have you done it with a stock kernel? [21:32] smanen: I followed only partly. Do you have a second computer at hand? [21:32] bobernet: chown cannot access '/var/log/mail.warn' no such file ore directory [21:32] i tried kubuntu but it did not work .. i am using UNETbootin right now.. can u point me to the manual instructions for installing my network card? [21:32] andrewaclt: Because flash 9 does not natively support PulseAudio. libflashsupport adds that capability in to the plugin. [21:33] Hi guys, I have a problem with nm-applet, it doesn't load properly. It will 30% of the time after a reboot though. [21:33] JuVV: well if you tried the livecd and it didn't work maybe you are not so lucky and need the driver from realtek [21:33] is fuseblk a type of file system ? when i try to mount with that it gives bad super block error... [21:33] Syco54645: why are you mounting the entire /var as tmpfs? that's wrong [21:33] bobernet: this is a build of the linpus kernel using their config file. i have also tried make oldconfig with the newest hardy kernel sources using their config file (since their kernel was .23 and not .24) and it did not work either. [21:33] Syco54645: /var contains persistent data [21:33] erUSUL: any clues how to install it? [21:33] bobertdos, yeah, but I had everything set to ALSA in System->Preferences->Sound ?!? [21:34] i can d/l it on vista .. and put it on a usb drive [21:34] Syco54645: Are you just mounting /var/log and /var/tmp as tmpfs or the whole /var tree? [21:34] hi people!!!! [21:34] bobernet: i realize that, but it will save the ssd from wear and also speed it up. the ssd in here is painfully slow. it took 2+ hours to isntall ubuntu on it. it has a 24 m/s read and a 7m/s write === baby_tux is now known as |fifah| [21:34] JuVV: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=538448 ?? [21:34] heya ll [21:34] Flannel: u there? [21:35] bobernet: not all of var, just /var/log/apt, /var/log. and /var/tmp [21:35] bobernet: sorry for not specifing before [21:35] andrewaclt: Unless you completely reinstall ALSA from the ground up, in Hardy, ALSA still sits within Pulse's framework. [21:35] Syco54645: Ok. Do you get an error when mounting them manually? === guntbert_ is now known as guntbert [21:36] bobernet: klogd just finally timed out [21:36] JuVV: http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html [21:36] i just got in [21:36] I tried using a minimal CD to install Ubuntu. But when it turns on I just see a prompt that says "boot: " and I can type. How do I proceed? [21:36] perillux: press enter [21:36] perillux: hit enter [21:36] bobernet: i have no idea how to mount to tmpfs [21:37] when i do cat /proc/mounts it shows my drive as fuseblk, how would i mount that type manually ? [21:37] Syco54645: this is the proper kconfig option "Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs)" [21:37] wols: erUSUL: and that's it? it will install? omg.. why didn't I think of that lol [21:37] abrahm: you don't [21:37] ? [21:37] perillux: no it will boot a linux kernel with the installer program [21:37] abrahm: "mount" [21:37] bobernet: i have that in there, and it is listed under /proc/filesystems [21:38] Excuse me, but are there any special procedures for unplugging a mass storage USB device, i.e. in OS X you move the device's icon to the trash to eject it, must one do anything of that nature in Ubuntu, or can one simply unplug the device...? [21:38] erUSUL: is there anything else I will have to do/type? [21:38] perillux: is the ubuntu alternate cd ?? [21:38] bobernet: /var/log is already there now that it is booted. it just seems that it is doing it too late or something [21:38] Ikelo1: depends if it's mounted synced or not [21:38] does anyone know how to resolve this problem?? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/208012 [21:38] Launchpad bug 208012 in ubuntu "Realtek RTL8168C/8111C ethernet compatibility" [Undecided,New] [21:38] erUSUL: mini cd. (mini.iso) [21:38] erUSUL: minimal CD [21:38] wols, why not ? [21:39] abrahm: because [21:39] erUSUL: it's supposed to start and then download everything from the internet. [21:39] Syco54645: you already added the mount commands to /etc/fstab? [21:39] lkelo1: I believe you just right click on the "usb disk" and click unmount [21:39] erUSUL: and uses the debian installer [21:39] Ikelo1: It's generally a much safer idea to unmount it before unplugging it. For flash drives, you can usually just do that by right-clicking it on the desktop. [21:39] bobernet: yeah [21:40] when did ubuntu start song previews on mousover of the file? [21:40] perillux: then just follow on screen instructions it should show a text based instaler [21:40] wols: ty [21:40] Ok thank you, I noticed that they could be unmounted, but I wasn't sure that was the correct feature I was looking for... tahkns again [21:40] erUSUL: ok, if I run into problems I will be back [21:40] *thanks [21:40] coudan80 are you here? [21:40] cpudan80* [21:41] Ikelo1: right click on it select umount or eject [21:41] Syco54645: you may need to make /etc/init.d/mountall run sooner [21:41] hey guys, i have a second time this happened with my firefox *on two different computers*. i'm running ubuntu 8.10 and the problem is that after a regular shutdown of firefox, firefox won't start up again. at all. whenever i try running it, it doesn't crash, but no window comes up either. i grepped for firefox processes and killed all of them, and still nothing. any ideas? [21:41] obf213: Oh it's done that for a while now. It just hasn't always been very consistent. [21:41] on the other computer i only solved the problem when i made a new account and used that [21:41] !ot | fsufitch [21:41] fsufitch: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[22:09] Since I was going to try to uninstall it and it's related packages. [22:09] rsty: as long as you tell it the right device to fire up the windows from it will boot it [22:09] asathoor, not physically [22:09] rsty: You'll need to add an entry for Windows in menu.lst [22:09] well [22:09] I've moved it to another room and it does the same thing [22:09] i did bob [22:09] But I'm not sure if it'll cause problems.

[22:11] action, it doesnt work.. how can i fix it? [22:11] Is it possible to remove all packages with "xine" in their name?

[22:12] Although I know I have xine packages since "dpkg -l *xine*" returns a large list.

It was a one partition NTFS disk. [22:14] Hexxeh, :( . [22:14] * Mr_Fixit2 kicks mon^rch [22:14] blip-: I use kompozer... its awesome [22:14] Maybe I should just switch back to XP until there's a fix === Mr_Fixit2 is now known as Mr_Fixit [22:14] Hexxeh: dunno really you may want to try testdisk too [22:14] choikachoika: yes you probably should [22:15] wols: i've got it setup already, the thing is, we're working on a variant for the Acer aspire one, building a custom kernel to speed boot up time, but right now, it's having issues making a ramdisk, it kicks out of the ubuntu logo screen and shows the text, it says it can't create the ramdisks and then the logging daemon refuses to load [22:15] I have a command line question: how do I copy one folder recursively into another and make cp ignore all the .svn folders? [22:15] Hexxeh: you can make it run to check the disk and tell you what it finds without really doing anything ... [22:15] i am trying to set up a ssh server [22:15] Why do wildcards work when you list a package but not when you try to remove a package? [22:15] Trying to figure out exactly which modules are necessary for /var/log to be on a ramdisk [22:15] why ubuntu doesn't have games like Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory or Urban Terror? i found only Nexuiz and similar games, but it isn't supported. maybe should i add non-free repo? [22:15] casao: I don't support custom kernels for no good reason [22:15] the vnc solution could be fine if I can solve those tow problems: [22:15] - find a viewer that can scale [22:15] - run firefox full frame in it [22:15] do i have to do anything in the grub shell to add windows to grub?? or just add the entry in menu.lst??? [22:15] Sake: you could use find [22:15] smanen: apt-get install openssh-server then /etc/init.d/sshd start [22:15] rsty: add the entry [22:16] is it safe to make zsh my default shell? [22:16] jrib, how so? [22:16] wols: if you have no good reason, then just answer the direct question, i'd say [22:16] Greetings.... [22:16] wols [22:16] its on a diff hdd [22:16] seriously, for some reason dvd codecs don't work [22:16] i dont have to setup (hd1,0) in grub shell? [22:16] casao: YOU have no good reason for a custom kernel. and custom kernels are not supported either. good day [22:16] I am trying to setup a ssh server. I am pretty sure that the ports are properlly forwarded but I keep getting a "connection refused" message [22:16] can someone help me figure out why my nvidia ck804 audio controller isn't working?

[22:16] scx: it plays a lot of games awesomely [22:16] wols: we have a perfectly good reason for a custom kernel, don't sit there and tell me not, say "We don't support it", don't pitch a fit because you said what you wanted to say wrong [22:17] *wifi shut off not lappy [22:17] Hexxeh: ? [22:17] Hexxeh: sorry didn't see your messgae [22:17] Mr_Fixit: got latest drivers and updates? [22:17] Dandre1: No idea really =/ [22:17] dunno...

Checklist: dvdread, dvdnav, libdvdcss2......... [22:17] smanen: Is it on the same network as you? [22:17] When I suspend my laptop that has Hardy on it, it freezes when I wake it up..

How do I make find results arguments to cp? [22:17] smanen: And have you opened the port on the ubuntu box? [22:18] Hexxeh: yes [22:18] I seem to have no audio, and I don't know what to do about it [22:18] Hexxeh: not sure [22:18] Sake: you should do one thing at a time, try to figure out how to make it ignore stuff with .svn first [22:18] bobertdos, i have dvd dread installed from when i installed the restricted extras but when i inserted the office dvd it didn't work [22:18] ActionParsnip: it is in standard repositories? or i have to add some? [22:18] Hexxeh: i opened the port on the router [22:18] jrib, ok, thanks [22:18] smanen: Are you using GUI on the ubuntu box? [22:18] smanen: sudo netstat -anp |less [22:18] Sake: poke me if you get stuck [22:18] dekushrub: libdvdcss2 is important for movies [22:18] Sake: xargs or the -exec argument of find . man find for details [22:18] Has anyone ever used wildcards in a name when removing packages with "dpkg -r [filename]"? [22:18] and my next question: Is there an easy to use backup tool for ubuntu or should I just learn rdiff-backup at the command line? [22:19] erUSUL, thanks!

[22:39] Cpudan80: file creation umask is 644, so group won't cut it [22:39] wols: telnet says connection refused as well [22:40] smanen: what commandline? [22:40] wols: good point [22:40] thank you so much oinck [22:40] :) [22:40] bubaphex: use rob:rob instead of rob:root [22:40] I'm attempting to find an OSS disk cloning solution for imaging a variety of hardware from a central server. Either via PXE or LiveCD. [22:40] wols: telnet smanen.homelinux.com 2222 [22:40] wols: that's another thing [22:40] smanen: learn to use windows telnet. ask ##windows [22:40] wols: please be helpful [22:40] wols: I really dont like how ubuntu (and other distros) make groups for each user [22:40] That's very unnecessary [22:40] smanen: and it's the wrong hostname too of course [22:40] Thanks, wols... [22:41] Flannel: where am I not helpful? this is not ##windows, so no windows help [22:41] smanen: Telnet is port 23 by default, it isn't really safe to use over a wide area network [22:41] wols: why do you say that? [22:41] Does anyone here use Foobar2000 in Ubuntu? [22:41] Cpudan80: this is for testing purposes in which case it's irrelevant [22:41] wols: "too bad" doesn't cut it if you've suggested they use something. [22:41] Nutzebahn: could be used under wine [22:41] smanen, telnet is clear text so you can sniff it [22:42] Flannel: I won't support windows here. then you support him. have fun [22:42] wols: smanen.homelinux.com is the domain name of my router [22:42] smanen, you are better off using ssh [22:42] Flannel: telnet is not a windows thing [22:42] Will it work perfectly? [22:42] oops [22:42] smanen: still the wrong IP. but Flannel volunteered. ask him. good day [22:42] sorry Flannel [22:42] Cpudan80: I'm aware. [22:42] wols: Telnet is not a windows thing [22:42] Flannel: yeah, typed wrong nick [22:42] It is commonly used by windows -- but it actually originated in the nix world IIRC [22:42] oh well... [22:43] Cpudan80: but it's a good debugging tool. if you people would read before you opened your ignroant mouths it would be a better place here. the point here is NOT that telnet is insecure [22:43] hi all, i'm trying to install ubuntu on a desktop. i can see /dev/sda and running cfdisk i can see 4 partitions. however, these partitions do not have files in /dev. what can i do? [22:43] oh dear [22:43] anyway.... [22:43] Is there any additional configuration I have to do for a remote loging on the linux machine if I am attempting to login via XDMCP through Xming on Windows? [22:43] Flannel: i found out the 2222 port is actually open [22:44] duiu: You have to enable it [22:44] Flannel: but ssh still doesnt work [22:44] duiu: System --> Admin --> login screen [22:44] duiu: XDMCP isnt really safe -- you should really use VNC over SSH [22:44] Flannel: i used http://canyouseeme.org/ [22:44] hi [22:44] smanen: The ports open, but not necessarily forwarding properly (or atleast, thats all that test will show you) [22:45] Cpudan80: not vnc [22:45] why not? [22:45] is anyone familiar with openvpn? [22:45] hi [22:45] cause it sucks and gthere is ssh/X [22:45] Flannel: ok [22:46] wols: Im aware of that [22:46] Flannel: i have also used http://www.pingmyport.com/ [22:46] hello [22:46] Cpudan80: I did enable it, it just isn't workign and I was wondering if I missed a step. I can remote login into myself from the linux machine. As for security, it's a local network. [22:46] oinck, I'm handy with it. I believe there's a #openvpn, btw. [22:46] Flannel: Error: I could not see your service at 83.33.230.74 on port 2222 (TCP) [22:46] Reason: Connection timed out (110). [22:46] nDuff: thank you [22:46] duiu: well you also need a client on the windows box that supports those types of logins... I dont know of one [22:46] Virca: hello [22:46] hi [22:47] hello [22:47] hey, I've just installed "Desktop Effects" through add/remove software on heron, but I cant find it, what menu is it in? or what is it called so i can launch it from the command line?? Thanks [22:47] its called Advanced desktop effects [22:47] !ccsm | HalfR [22:47] or compis config settings manager [22:47] HalfR: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [22:47] ty: which menu is it in? I cant see it [22:48] HalfR: System>Preferences [22:48] system preferences [22:48] wols: It doesn't play certain songs properly in Wine. [22:48] Nutzebahn: ask #winehq or appdb.winehq.com [22:49] hey does anyone know how to get dvd menus to work in totem so that way you could watch dvds with episodes like the office season 1? [22:49] no [22:49] Unless I set the sample rate to 48000 Hertz. [22:49] ty, does that mean it is impossible [22:49] dekushrub: use another player xine-ui or gmplayer [22:49] whats impossible? [22:50] dekushrub: apt-get install llivdvdread3 libdvdcss2 [22:50] *libdvdread [22:51] [22:51] [22:52] so whats new [22:52] ?? [22:52] yo dudes [22:52] alinet: #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting, not here, thanks. [22:52] yo bro [22:53] What ports does XDMCP use? [22:53] I have a USB disk plugged in. I'm running Ubuntu already. Can I install Ubuntu on this USB disk? And how? === PhQu_ is now known as PhQu [22:54] Altreus: www.pendrivelinux.com [22:54] Hello people. [22:54] That's ubuntu? [22:54] Anyone here? [22:54] Altreus: try unetbootin [22:54] Ubuntu is dank. [22:54] Hello, wiz126. [22:55] Hello, Stefan. [22:55] or DSL I think it will install and run off usb stick [22:55] kyle__: please stop that [22:55] hi kyle [22:55] I have the CD. I just don't want to have to reboot. [22:55] Reboot what? [22:55] Red13: It's not a stick, it's a disk. [22:55] Hello, Blacky. [22:55] oh ok [22:55] Altreus: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ [22:56] Anyone know if they can join the DeviantART server? [22:56] ok, this is stupid, that STUPID STUPID software update BROKE MY graphics card drivers [22:56] and I don't have 3d acceleration, I can't run compiz [22:56] White_Eagle...Happened to me too, but with my network card. [22:56] duiu: Step two there involves me rebooting. Can I do it without rebooting? [22:56] white_eagle: how did you installed the drivers??? [22:56] I know I can do it with rebooting... [22:56] I just got a new computer... Compiz works excellent. [22:56] Altreua > Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [22:57] It'll close your window manager, and your desktop, and bring you to a shell. [22:57] erUSUL: I always installed the graphics card drivers manually with downloading the latest version from ati.amd.com and applying them to my system, but now a sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade did SOMETHING BAD to them [22:57] I HATE THIS [22:57] it also removed sound [22:57] the update [22:57] No shit? [22:57] I can't listen to anything [22:57] Can you revert to a previous state? [22:57] HOW [22:57] I can't [22:57] Hrm... [22:58] Lemme see... [22:58] white_eagle: well tha's spected everytime the kernel (or some other core xserver package) is upgraded you have to reinstall the drivers [22:58] kyle__: was that for me? [22:58] erUSUL: I REINSTALLED them [22:58] white_eagle: that's what you pay for having the latest [22:58] erUSUL: they don't work [22:58] Altreus: No, it was for White_Eagle. [22:58] Altreus: No idea [22:58] o ok [22:58] erUSUL: it said imporant security updates were available [22:58] erUSUL: so important it broke 3d acceleration and sound [22:59] Well, I can understand living without 3d acceleration, but sound? [22:59] Hrm... something sounds fishy. What kind of card do you have? [22:59] ati xpress 200m (integrated one [22:59] For your sound? [23:00] oh [23:00] integrated [23:00] i dunno [23:00] What kind of computer? [23:00] white_eagle: as isaid when kernel change driver must be reinstalled and it should work i do it all the time becouse i use custom kernels (2.6.27-rc5 from kernel.org) [23:00] erUSUL: There's no way I could do that... :) [23:00] hello, i am using a laptop with a ssd so in an effort to preserve the life of it i have made /var/log on tmpfs. it works fine in ubuntu-generic but not in a custom compile kernel. at boot time klogd hangs. what would be going wrong here? [23:00] white_eagle: if you are not willing to cope with the cons of using drivers from third parties you should use the ubuntu provided ones [23:01] i mean, my system is practically unusable [23:01] #ubuntu-es [23:01] white_eagle: is that simple you are running an *unsupported* configuration [23:01] except internet, nothing I could do [23:01] erUSUL: how unsupported, my graphics card is *supported* by the proprietary ati driver [23:02] erUSUL: so it *is* supported [23:02] and it *worked* before [23:02] white_eagle: lol proprietary [23:02] white_eagle: who supports the proprietary driver [23:02] white_eagle: if it is proprietary then it's not the ubuntu/deb community [23:02] alpha232: yes, but I am not asking about the driver in here [23:02] alpha232: an update BROKE IT [23:02] white_eagle: The 'supported' drivers are the ones in the repos. The kernels are made for those. Everytime you upgrade your kernel, you need to reinstall the binary ones from ati.com [23:02] white_eagle: yes... it did [23:02] white_eagle: it is not supported by ubuntu. ubuntu only supports the driver it packages [23:03] Flannel: I reinstalled the ones from ati.com [23:03] it doesn't work [23:03] white_eagle: but it's not directly supported so ubuntu changed and your proprietary driver broke [23:03] white_eagle: So... either the kernel has a regression, or ati's are broken. [23:03] white_eagle: face the chance that your OS changed and your proprietary driver didn't [23:03] alpha232: and then as everyone said I should reinstall the drivers and it should work [23:03] white_eagle: File a bug in case of the former. [23:03] alpha232: but I reinstalled them, and it doesn't work [23:03] white_eagle: then it appears your proprietary driver only works under specific conditions [23:03] white_eagle: You're screwed [23:04] white_eagle: why not recompile your proprietary driver [23:04] alpha232: what? [23:04] * alpha232 waits ... [23:04] white_eagle: why not recompile your proprietary driver [23:04] alpha232: how can I recompile the driver, when I don't have the source [23:04] guys, how do I start a secon x server, after hittin ctrl+f1? start --x :1? [23:04] white_eagle: exactly :) talk to ATI [23:04] or was it startx --:1 [23:05] just startx [23:05] white_eagle: everything that ubuntu ships has source and as a community we can fix almost any problem [23:05] xcerca, you sure? [23:05] white_eagle: your drivers are a sealed casket of code [23:05] white_eagle: the nvidia instaler (and i take that the ati one does the same) compiles the kernel module during instalatiiion behind the scenes [23:06] white_eagle: You could try asking on some ati forums... [23:06] alpha232: ok, but what I was asking was, is the problem in them, or in the kernel update [23:06] i always do Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart though so i haven't had to do that in a awhile , that was it was before i think [23:06] white_eagle: if they do not have a precompiled one on its servers [23:06] Whats the best media player w/ support for all files that also plays subtitles. (Not the totem player!) [23:06] white_eagle: It could be either. [23:06] Osse VLC [23:06] white_eagle: it's a kernel update [23:06] xcerca, i'm not trying to restart the x server. I am trying to run multiple x servers, so that I can have one running my normal apps, and a second one running my full-screen game. [23:06] Xcerca - VLC doesn't allow me to use subtitles. [23:06] white_eagle: your closed source proprietary drivers are tied to the kernel very very tightly [23:07] Xcerca - Or do you mean with Wine? [23:07] Osse: It depends on what libraries you install, more libraries = more codecs and subtitles. [23:07] duiu - Can I get support with VLC? [23:07] ok nevermind I'll ask in #ati [23:07] white_eagle: but since it's closed source, you can't change them to keep up with any changes in the kernel [23:07] white_eagle: Try using envyNG [23:07] white_eagle: simple point is, the kernel changed, your driver can't talk to ATI [23:07] Question: It seems i am unable to use multiple commands, such as space+mouse (If i hold space down, my mouse wont move, and i dont have mouse buttons, etc).. Any thoughts on how this can be fixed? Or even whats wrong? [23:08] duiu - VLC subtitle support? [23:08] alpha232: and the stupid thing is, I can't recover the previous kernel [23:08] white_eagle: why not? it should be there [23:08] white_eagle: unless you did a total upgrade [23:08] Osse: Try enabling the medibuntu respositories (google medibuntu) and do 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [23:09] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1207230 2006-07-18 19:27 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-386 [23:09] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1206555 2005-10-10 09:16 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386 [23:09] alpha232: well how total is sudo apt-get upgrade [23:09] alpha232: when a kernel update is available [23:09] white_eagle: ahh [23:09] white_eagle: you could downgrade, but it's not fun and not simple and depending on how far back you need to go, maybe not at all [23:09] Osse: Yeah, you just have to enable subtitles. Not sure how, I don't use it much. [23:09] duiu - I've tried that =/ [23:10] no need to downgrade, just select the older kernel fromthe GRUB menu [23:10] Hello again can anyone tell me if there is an application for a gmail account I think I read about one but cannot find where? [23:10] white_eagle: you're better off putting pressure on ATI or seeing if they have an updated version of the driver [23:10] white_eagle: what version are you running now? [23:10] Flannel: Have you ever heard of a problem with multiple inputs? Ie, if i hold down a button on my keyboard i can't use my mouse at all. Any clues on what this could be called? (Or how to fix it?) [23:10] poont: what kind of application? [23:10] Osse: So if you enabled subtitles and they're not there, then your file does not have subtitles [23:10] alpha232: umm, wait [23:10] alpha232: _8.522 [23:10] Leefmc: Nope, are these PS2 or USB? [23:10] Flannel: USB [23:10] Flannel: MX Revolution.. broken by Ubuntu heh [23:10] erUSUL, some sort of desktop application worked in the way outlook does? [23:11] shingouz: i mean kernel version === duiu is now known as dav0 === dav0 is now known as david0 === david0 is now known as david010 [23:12] I'm trying to configure XDMCP, does anyone know what ports and protocols it uses so I can enable it in iptables? [23:12] Flannel: It makes any type of gaming impossible, since you couldn't use your mouse and keyboard at the same time heh [23:12] david010: It uses UDP === atid is now known as n0mrq [23:13] I have tangerine installed but half of the songs in my daap stream have no metadata and the track times are listed as "continuous" . I don't even know where to start... [23:13] Flannel: do you know what port? === Tonik is now known as Tonik|away [23:13] Flannel: This might fix it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=545244 [23:13] erUSUL: How long is this gpart thing likely to take on a 200gb drive? It's still going after about 45 mins to an hour? [23:13] trying now.. [23:13] david010: nope. but if you just use it, you'll be able to see. [23:13] !away > Tonik|away [23:13] Tonik|away, please see my private message === n0mrq is now known as n0mrq_ === n0mrq_ is now known as _n0mrq_ [23:14] brb restarting x === _n0mrq_ is now known as N0MRQ === N0MRQ is now known as N0MRQ_ [23:15] complex question here, is there a way to upgrade/install from a .iso without burning? [23:15] Hexxeh: i dunno really but for the description it will scan the entire disk === N0MRQ_ is now known as aitd [23:15] alpha232: it it is the alternate cd iso yes [23:15] !nickspam > aitd [23:15] aitd, please see my private message [23:15] startx -- :1 ! [23:15] found it. [23:16] How do I get subtitles working in VLC? [23:16] I find the subtitles, but they ain't showing. [23:16] erUSUL: it is the server iso ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso [23:16] alpha232: server and alternate are interchangable (well, except one is smaller and has server packages) [23:16] Flannel: Worked! :) [23:16] Osse: Try VLC's documentation [23:16] !iso | alpha232 [23:16] alpha232: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [23:17] hi , i'm experiencing some font issues in ubuntu . specially with web pages which have small fonts. whta should i do ? [23:17] Flannel: thanks, i'm familiar with how to loop mount === Iamdutch is now known as hausdorff [23:17] david010 - I've done pretty much everything, nothing seems to work. [23:17] Flannel: my quesiton came from the fact that i can't find an install script and i get complaints of version issues.. [23:17] alpha232: you're installing or upgrading? [23:18] Flannel: well i'm on 6.10 and i want to move to 8.04, but i'm told i can't upgrade [23:18] Flannel: which totally disappoints me :( [23:18] alpha232: Correct. Or at least, not directly. You can go 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 [23:18] Anyone know anything about setting up the gmail notifier? [23:18] alpha232: LTS to LTS is the only way to "skip" versions (6.06 to 8.04, and eventually to 10.04, etc) [23:19] alpha232: check for the upgrade script on the top level dir of the iso [23:19] would any partition recovery tool work solid for backing up ntfs primary partition [23:19] Flannel: is there a "minimal path" ie... a way to only upgrade the critial stuff [23:19] Flannel: and will i have to reboot after each? [23:19] alpha232: You will, to get the new kernel. [23:19] alpha232: i have done a sucessful upgrade from 6.10 to 7.10 [23:19] Flannel: just an FYI i only have network access to the system, === matt__ is now known as M0nk3EEe === flajann3 is now known as flajann [23:20] Flannel: i don't have my nullmodem cable (got shredded) and no cons === flajann is now known as flajann3 [23:20] alpha232: upgrading from 7.10 to 8.10 is still buggy, according ubuntu support web site === flajann3 is now known as flajann [23:20] how to back up ntfs partition [23:21] borisof: dd? [23:21] alpha232: If you want to just reinstall, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations [23:21] hi. i have this script that converts m4a files to mp3. however i have to be in the directory of the files for it work. i want to use it over all my files. but when i try to pipe it over the files returned from find it says its trying to encoding [23:22] i just burned a copy of hardy desktop and it freezes while trying to install. as soon as i select "install" it shows the loading screen, loads about 20% and quits. any ideas? [23:22] Jkessler: Check the CD for defects (penultimate boot menu option) [23:22] Flannel: well i don't want to loose some of my configs :/ [23:22] Hi all can someone please explain something to me regarding raid 1. I had my system configured so that it was installed to a raid mirror. I have unplugged one of the disks booted up and performed a dist-upgrade. It all works fine. Now i want to re add my other disk back into the raid mirror. What will happen because they obviously hold to different sets of data will it somehow just know one half of the mirror is more up to date and cop [23:22] alpha232: right. Well, upgrading will work fine just as well, it'll just take longer. But its certainly doable. [23:23] Flannel: on the other hand i don't know what i've customised on this box lol [23:23] alpha232: Also, might I suggest you stick with 8.04 on the server once you get there, and then upgrade straight to 10.04 [23:23] Flannel: well this wouldn't have been an issue if anyone had mentioned that when it goes unsupported that they toss the entire repo down the shitter [23:24] where would hd1,0 be located? [23:24] rsty: sdb1 [23:24] alpha232: You can get still the repo: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com === tz is now known as spoke [23:24] not hda1? [23:24] what's the best mode to use to burn ubuntu? DAO or TAO? [23:24] rsty: no, that'd be hd0,0 [23:24] Flannel: wth... jesus no one mentioned that [23:24] alright :] thanks [23:24] so if it was windows i would mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /home2??? [23:25] alpha232: Most people don't know about it. Its *not* supposed to be used for actual systems, since... its horribly out of date (I think the SSL vuln affects Edgy, and I know the DNS patches do) [23:25] alpha232: Its only available for historic purposes. [23:25] Flannel: it's not a prod server, it's just a box i screw around with but its headless [23:25] is it normal for testdisk to show two sizes for a drive? [23:26] alpha232: Also, the EOL repos are kept online for a while after the actual EOL [23:26] I have a 200gb drive and it's showing 203 GB / 189 GB [23:26] alpha232: if it's on the internet you should upgrade anyway [23:26] I have an old Windows hardrive that has a game I'm rather fond of; if I get an external hard drive enclosure will I be able to boot from that through a USB connection and play my game effectively? Is there a better solution? [23:26] alpha232: the mirrors generally stop carrying them straight away though. [23:26] jrib: naw, no direct access to it [23:26] anyone know how mdadm knows which disk is stale and which data it can loose? [23:27] can someone explain the logic behind having to enter a password to check for updates? wouldnt it be better to enter the password when you click to install the updates? [23:27] alpha232: but, unsupported means unsupported. Really, you should have no expectation that the repos would stay online indefiniately [23:27] Question: Ever since i changed the "System->Preferences->Appearance" setting with Compiz enabled, my compiz/meta seems to be rather screwed up. Games arent working right, compiz-icon seems to not properly restore all of compiz when enabling it, etc. I already rebooted with no luck.. anyone know anything on this? Im about to purge compiz and restart it. [23:27] hello, on my custom kernel that i have compiled klogd hangs at startup. how can i diagnose what is wrong? [23:27] svish: your user can't write to where apt stores its cache most likely [23:28] svish: I guess so, but this seems like a minor distinction to me, at least from a functional standpoint [23:28] after just installing a linux server how can i find the ip of it (from a remote computer)? [23:28] Flannel: it depends on your point of view, in the hardware realm EOL means no new stuff but the old stuff usually stays [23:28] svish: Also, if the users know which updates haven't been applied, they can figure out what is vulnerable [23:28] aha [23:28] yea, thats a point I guess... [23:28] alpha232: software is not hardware. You can't remove hardware from people's boxes. [23:28] Flannel: i wouldn't mind updating but i don't want to loose my configs in the meantime as my network config is kinda ummm well :) if it reverts i gotta go out and buy a monitor [23:28] seems my sound with yewtewb videos is broken again. [23:29] alpha232: Or carry this monitor over to that box temporarily [23:29] would testdisk find the partition within the first minute if it was there? [23:29] Flannel: i don't have a monitor in the house [23:29] i had a 200gb drive that crashed when vista froze while booting [23:29] i'm trying to rebuild the drive [23:30] Hexxeh: This really isn't the channel for that. You should be asking in testdisk channels (or something similar) === Theaxiom_ is now known as Theaxiom [23:30] there isn't one [23:30] and i'm using an Ubuntu disc to do all this [23:31] Flannel: are reboots required between upgrades or if i'm going a-b-c-d can i just apply them ontop of each other and do one reboot at the end? [23:33] How many release upgrades are you going to do anyway? [23:33] alpha232: I wouldn't, personally. But if you wanted to try it you could, it isn't recommended. [23:33] dr_Willis: 6.10 to 8.04 [23:33] ubuntu had some fancy way of installing source packages. Was it aptitude install source packagename ? Or do I need to use apt-get instead of aptitude ? [23:33] from LTS to LTS is supposed to be 'directly' possible I thought. [23:33] dr_Willis: 6.06 is LTS, 6.10 isn't [23:33] !source > mika_videodev [23:33] mika_videodev, please see my private message [23:33] I would not have high hopes then. :) [23:34] mika_videodev: there's no aptitude equivalent that I know of. Only apt-get source [23:34] dr_Willis: He's going 6.10 > 7.04 > 7.10 > 8.04 (so, that'd be three upgrades) [23:34] hello. im trying to modify a bash script to make it recursive. does anyone know how u can tell if something is a folder in bash? [23:34] obf213: try #bash [23:34] obf213, the 'advanced bash scripting guide' is prboerly worth a read.. theres a way to do that.. but i forget how. :) [23:34] It has examples of abvout anything you want to do. [23:34] alpha232, have a serial com cable? set up a getty on ttyS0 as an additional fallback. thats what i do on my "headless" server [23:35] venger: had one, got shredded [23:35] alpha232, monoprice.com ;) [23:35] lol [23:35] venger: yeah [23:35] i've heard alot about them [23:36] <_xyz> is it possible to delete files in a WinXP Home directory in X:\Program files from within a live Ubuntu 8.04 session? [23:36] <_xyz> it only allows me read permissions at by default [23:36] ntfs-3g [23:36] _xyz, you must mount the ntfs using the ntfs-3g filesystem to have r/w access [23:37] _xyz, ntfs filesystem by default is read only [23:37] <_xyz> alright === tvelocity_ is now known as tvelocity[a] [23:40] what it the command to start the graphics card and monitor GUI form 7.10? [23:40] it was under Administration but since 8.04 it's gone... [23:41] Is anyone familiar with LabView programming ? [23:41] or at least know what it is ? [23:41] What softwares would make http://localhost/ display "It Works!" [23:41] MXIIA: Apache [23:42] what else, I know I didn't install apache [23:42] /var/www has index.html in it... [23:42] could be a dependency [23:42] MXIIA: that's pretty much a sure sign of apache... [23:42] how can find out what network card i have? [23:42] Ok... [23:42] MXIIA: ps axu | grep apache [23:42] MXIIA: that'll check if you have an apache instance running [23:43] if Testdisk isn't finding my partition, does that mean things are really screwed? [23:43] whoa [23:43] My Vista install froze whilst loading, so I had to manually reboot it, and then the partition disappeared. [23:43] can anyone tell me which package i need for wlan on eeepc (701) ... ??? [23:44] its broken since 8.04 - update ... [23:44] magnus|msc: madwifi, I believe [23:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/42263/ is my result [23:44] Let me find you the wiki page for it magnus|msc, one moment [23:44] ah - thx [23:45] have to drive to the airport in 2 hours -.- [23:45] and just recognized wifi is gone :-O [23:45] Ah, I was wrong, it's ndiswrapper [23:45] http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:configurendiswrapper [23:45] There's the instructions [23:45] can i get help in here? [23:45] Does Daemon Tools work on Ubuntu? [23:46] !mount | wickk [23:46] wickk: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [23:46] can someone tell me what to input in terminal to get a list of devices/cards on my system? [23:46] !iso > wickk [23:46] wickk, please see my private message [23:46] Caru, depends. Ask your question and find out :) [23:46] ty [23:46] rockwellgump: sudo lshw | less ... or lspci [23:46] wickk: ignore the first thing ubottu said. You can mount iso's with the mount command [23:46] If Testdisk can't find my partition, is my disk completely hosed? [23:46] jrib: ok thanks [23:46] Im having trouble installing an ubuntu theme on hardy heron [23:47] Hexxeh, ndiswrapper??? [23:47] hmmm wouldn't it be cool if they made a usb serial cable with a switch that turned it from straight through to null modem [23:47] former it worked without ndiswrapper !! [23:47] magnus|msc: It's the easiest way to do it [23:47] I believe you can get it working via madwifi [23:47] question: I have an old Windows hardrive that has a game I'm rather fond of; if I get an external hard drive enclosure will I be able to boot from that through a USB connection and play my game effectively? Is there a better solution? [23:47] do anyone have the link to the , Ubuntu help site ? [23:47] i try ... [23:48] Im a linux newb how do I install a theme? [23:48] torx1704: help.ubuntu.com is the site, and help.ubuntu.com/community/ is the wiki [23:48] spoke: it depends on whether or not your motherboard supports booting from a USB device. [23:48] can someone private message me [23:48] Caru: what kind of theme? [23:48] flannel thx it was so i could find the wow site you showed me : ) [23:48] qr_: how would I investigate this? [23:49] Anyone know how to get usb to serial cable to work with a program running on wine? [23:49] I downloaded a folder from the internet with an index.theme file in it and a bunch of folders [23:49] I cant install the index,theme file thogh [23:49] spoke: find out what model of mother board you have (lshw _might_ be able to tell you) and check the manufacturers specs. [23:49] Caru: tell us where you got it [23:49] ok one sec [23:49] ok, thanks qr_ [23:50] do see a list of devices that are hdds is the command fstab ls or somthing like that ? [23:50] Flammel i doesent open [23:50] http://www.junauza.com/2008/08/10-really-cool-icon-sets-for.html the bottom theme on this page is the one Im trying to install [23:50] torx1704: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [23:50] i just tryed it it didnt open [23:50] torx1704: I'm looking at it right now [23:51] Caru: allblack? [23:51] yes that is the one [23:51] flannel okay thx ill try again [23:51] jrib: Know anything about recovering partitions? [23:51] Hexxeh: I know that I've failed at doing it before :) [23:51] Oh dear :p [23:51] I hosed a Vista install by pushing an overclock too far, and now the partition table for it has disappeared [23:52] I need to rebuild it [23:52] Caru: just copy the ALLBLACK directory into ~/.icons [23:52] the entire ALLBLACK folder???? [23:52] hm - madwifi is installed ... [23:52] Caru: yes, so that you have ~/.icons/ALLBLACK [23:52] Hexxeh: I think its safe to say no one awake in this channel right now knows. Please stop asking every few minutes. 30 minutes or so is a good guideline for frequency. [23:53] Google would be a good place to search. :) [23:53] ummm lol where is the ~/icons folder [23:53] [23:54] Caru, that path would show it would be in the users home directory [23:54] Caru, ~ ===> /home/Username/ [23:54] is there an easy way to run mac apps in ubuntu? since they are now both unix based, if I have understood correctly....? [23:54] Caru: ~/.icons. The . is important. Go to View -> Show Hidden Files first. Then create it if it does not already exist. ~ means your HOME [23:54] svish: not really [23:54] svish, not exactly true.. OS-X is based on a BSD core.. but the GUI part is not common. [23:55] and BSD is Not Linux.. [23:55] svish, linux is not unix [23:55] dr_Willis, ah ok [23:55] niuq, but ubuntu is unix based, isnt it? [23:55] or have I missunderstood completly hre... [23:55] svish, there was some work in that area.. but that was more for people wanting to write an app that would run on both.. not 'letting just any apple apps run on linuix' [23:56] How do you open an rpm file in Ubuntu? [23:56] Ubuntu = Linux, and Linux is not UNIX. but its close. :) [23:56] aha [23:56] Zaiden: you avoid doing so. Why do you want to? [23:56] its like a clone [23:56] see the Linux wiki page. :) [23:56] Zaiden, open as in install? or view the conents of? [23:56] Zaiden: you can get the rpm utility from the repos, but it's probably a better idea to find a .deb [23:56] I want to test out vmware workstation 6.5 beta, but the only file types they offer to install are either an rpm file or a bundle file [23:56] download* [23:56] ok I put the ALLBLACK folder in my .icons folder and I tryed to drag the index.theme file into the theme manger thing and it said it was not a valid theme file === Guest25371 is now known as os2mac [23:57] Zaiden: what's wrong with the bundle file? [23:57] Caru: you don't need to drag anything now. Just go to "customize" and then to the "icon" tab [23:57] Can ubuntu open bundle files? It says I didn't have an application to open it [23:57] !defrag [23:57] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [23:57] svish, linux it's a unix like, not exactly linux, FBSD = UNIX / UBUNTU = LINUX FBSD != LINUX :) [23:58] wich means mac apps dont run on linux [23:58] svish, i get confused there heh [23:58] Question: Gah, i can't create links in my Applications dropdown. Whenever i do, they go into a "Folder" in the Applications dropdown named "Debian". For example, if i go into the Applications->Games section and add a launcher, it doesn't add it there, but rather it adds it to Applications->Debian->Games.. any help? [23:58] oh cool so is that it?? [23:59] http://linkpot.net/behead/ [23:59] aventin: why did you paste that?
