I have just installed xubuntu in a pen drive and it loads ok after modifying the menu.lst file. but my question is if i can mount the hard drive (the real one)...if so, how???? thanks a lot [00:10] alright, how about this. how do i get apt to list all versions available for a package? [00:11] josh||: apt-cache policy PACKAGE [00:11] josh||: apt-cache policy package [00:11] cool [00:11] thank you [00:11] hey! i want to deinstall this crappy keyring app but if i tell synaptics to deinstall it, synaptic says that its going to remove xubuntu-desktop, networkmanager etc as well [00:11] 1. why? and 2. what can i do about it? [00:11] hi, howto cp /home/user1/*.* to /home/user2/*.* ? [00:11] kartoffelmensch: because the network manager depends on the keyring manager, and xubuntu-desktop depends on network manager [00:11] so how do i install the metacity theme? [00:12] ehom1: type that in the terminal, prefixed by sudo [00:12] ehom1, sudo rsync -a /home/user1/ /home/user2/ [00:12] Caru: that one you should be able to drag the tar.gz into the Appearances dialog [00:12] ooohh ok col [00:12] cool* [00:12] Or click Install and browse to the theme. [00:13] theunixgeek: home/user1 is broken, and i created /home/user2, -- and i m trying to backup broken user, and cp good user settings to broken [00:13] Flannel: do u want to tell me that i HAVE to use this application then? :( [00:13] ehom1: I don't know what you mean by broken but best bet here would be to reinstall [00:14] kartoffelmensch: Only if you want to use network manager (and whatever other apps depend on it) [00:14] ehom1, how is it broken exactly? [00:14] theunixgeek: i can login /home/user1 -- but can not click anything all frozen [00:14] kartoffelmensch: xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, and can be safely removed [00:14] i have just done. Thanks a lot!!! [00:14] ehom1: yep reinstallation is the best thing to do [00:14] any bashpodder expert on^ [00:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/newthread.php?do=postthread&f=333 [00:15] unop: i can only create a user [00:15] if I have two of the same brand and model of drive, should the geometry be the same? [00:15] Flannel: but i need my network manager!! but thank you dude :] [00:15] ehom1, and does logging on as user2 give you a better result? [00:15] If I want to uninstall ubuntu and GRUB, can I use WUBI even if I installed without it? [00:15] theunixgeek: will reinstall delete my /home? [00:15] Hexxeh: apparently so, but this isn't an Ubuntu question [00:15] ehom1: yes.... [00:15] ehom1, i'd say a reinstall is completely overkill [00:15] Is there a way to change the color of the drag-to-select box thing [00:15] ehom1: but it's ok - from a live CD, just backup your files to a pen drive [00:16] ehom1, the problem might be down to something very trivial [00:16] Caru: what the heck is a drag-to-select box thing? :P [00:16] hi guys, i've just installed ubuntu, the audio and video codesc were ok, then i tried to install rmvb support and now the video is extremally slow and the mp3 files aren't played, is there a way to clean everything about audio and video codecs and execute that autocodec search of ubuntu? i think the problem started with medibutntu [00:16] Hexxeh, ive seen them differe.. depending on the drives.. If you bought them both at the same time i would say they should be thesame.. if you bot them a few months apart.. they could differ. [00:16] You mean the "box" you click and drag to select icons?

[00:18] thethirdmoose, Wubi does not depend on grub, or a normally installed ubuntu. from what i read about wubi [00:18] Who'd want to uninstall Ubuntu! Blasphemy ;) sorry not sure tbh.

[01:06] heyhey [01:06] torx, ive never needed to mess with it.. when i isntall wine and run a wine app its always made a ~/.wine/drive_c to begin with [01:06] ive never had to manually mess with it torx [01:06] does anything in particular have to be enabled when compiling the kernel for klogd to work? [01:06] perhaps try running winecfg, === PhilKC_ is now known as PhilKC [01:07] i have a question... can someone help me with an installation problem? [01:07] so how does i install ? [01:07] torx, wine installer.exe works for me normally [01:07] dr_willis its the steaminstaller [01:07] this is probably old news, but has anyone figured out how to smb to a windows machine using hardy? [01:07] and if i have no .wine, the wine command normally makes that .wine directory [01:07] that doesent work prob. [01:07] i must be missing something here. i just set up mpd to work with pulse audio, set the mpd users as "mpd", and gave "mpd" the pulse-rt, pulse-access and audio groups. but it still will only play when run as root. any clues? [01:07] torx, so use whatever name it has.. dont expect us to be wine experts here. [01:08] or steam experts. :) [01:08] how do i install ubuntu on a drive after ive downloaded it and have no blank CD's? [01:08] !appdb [01:08] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org === Vic is now known as Guest63316 [01:08] !install | futurama141 [01:08] futurama141: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:09] futurama141, see that last url the bot gave.. and no ive never tried it that way. [01:09] im running PHLAK right now, the HD has no installed OS and i want to put ubuntu on it [01:09] dr_willis can i pm you [01:09] torx, ive basicially told ya all i know on the topic. [01:09] plz i have to show you something [01:09] torx, if you dont have a .wine directory then you might want to run winecfg [01:10] Flannel: good point... ill just use apt-get as ive done in the past... thanks :) === terkel is now known as dasdajs [01:11] Hmm tried getting my mic working with Skype. Now for some reason it seems to freeze my laptop and now all of the audio doesn't work even though I've changed no settings. Compatibility issue maybe? [01:11] Also find that my typing text often lags when switching from one window to another for typing. [01:12] I'm having problem with my audio, when i open flash applications with sound in the firefox i cant see videos or audios from my computer until i close firefox, does anyone know how to fix it? [01:12] I just installed Ubuntu, how come it feels so bloated? I mean, maybe because the mouse pointer is thicker than windows, but it just seems slower or something. Seems weird. [01:12] : you can adjust the pointer speed. [01:12] have you installed all the updates and restricted drivers? [01:13] Well, and I mean when opening things, I see the loading pointer ALOT, I NEVER see that in windows [01:13] slobad23, If that was directed at me, I sure have. My webcam worked fine and I have no issues loading Skype and typing. === igormorgado is now known as Lin [01:13] p0 [01:13] o> [01:13] sorry - that was at riyonuk [01:13] sorry [01:13] Riyonuk, i tend to see '(not responding)' a lot more in windows.. then i do in Linux. :) but im just rambling.. mad at Vista at the moment.. Heh [01:14] ns nick nickweb [01:14] Riyonuk, its possible somthing is missconfigured and making linux slow. normally its quite a lot faster then windows. [01:14] Hmm, any good ideas for fixing/explenations as to why with "TexturedVideo" "on" in the xorg.conf video playback slows down a whole lot, when not in fullscreen mode? However when putting video in fullscreen it is smooth as a baby bum. [01:14] Also, if using 32bit Ubtuntu on a 64bit processor, are there any noticable differences to that of if I were on 64bit? Or is it only slight speed increases that I'd notice? [01:14] I agree about Vista as well, it just doesn't feel as "snappy" as windows, though to point out I am using TinyXP, a stripped down version of windows. [01:14] Riyonuk, :) used that also.. for err.. research.. yea thats it... [01:14] It was fast though, righ [01:14] *right [01:14] can anyone point me to a link for a fully unattended Ubuntu install? [01:15] right folks, whats my chances of getting my pics back after i seriously screwed up and installed fedoro, apparently overwriting my home directory (when i *quite* clearly checked that it wouldnt [01:15] fedora* [01:15] Riyonuk, ive onny used it for vmware, or some old laptops. and even then i disabled all the extras in tinyxp [01:15] how do i format a hard drive? [01:16] when i stick in an sd card in, f-spot copies the pictures off, but doesn't delete them from the card. how do i make it delete the pics? [01:16] futurama141, use gparted for a GUI or see the fsck manpage for CLI [01:16] futurama141: i would use something like parted magic or "qparted" which comes on live cd's like knoppix [01:16] nick_: how much money do you want to spend? [01:17] dres none.. [01:17] nick_, very slim [01:17] im just downloading the rescue remix [01:17] !undelete > nick_ [01:17] nick_, please see my private message [01:17] futurama141, you partition a hard drive. making 'filesystems' on it. which you then format. with the mkfs.* commands normally or use gparted [01:17] dr_Willis, but do you agree that Ubuntu seems sloower than TinyXP? [01:17] Riyonuk, No i do not. [01:17] Riyon for me, Ubuntu is running extremely smooth, on a Asus EEE PC. [01:17] Riyonuk, I do NOT use compiz, or other fancy eyecandy however.. that can cause a lag [01:18] That's with Compiz effects, on a 900Mhz CPU with 1GB RAM, I'd say it's quite snappy :P [01:18] ok, so is anyone familiar with PHLAK? [01:18] I have a 4GB Ram, 128GB SSD Hardrive, and it's slow XD [01:19] Only having issues on the 915GM intel built in card with video playback [01:19] what is it with people thinking that linux is SOOO much faster than windows... if you go and download every piece of software under the sun and have it running on linux, you're just turning it into that hulky windows machine you had before [01:19] Well problem being I want to be able to rotate the video without it looking all weird. [01:19] Hi, I've set up postfix with dbmail, but I need to be able to send mail locally to test my setup, I just can't figure out how, I'm able to login to dbmail through pop and imap and send emails, it's just receiving emails that I am having trouble with, I think if i pointed an MX record from a domain at my testing server it would work, so how do I emulate that behaviour locally? [01:20] windows isn't slow! stop expecting linux to perform miracles :) [01:20] Wich TexturedVideo fixed, but then when not in fullscreen the whole video playback is awefully slow. [01:20] Linux did miracles for m Slobad :D [01:20] i want to slow down have fast the cat command reads a file ... i understand that can be done with a bash script but that is all i know. any suggestions? [01:20] XP on this EEE was darn slow ;Z [01:20] I lost functionality of the media keys on my G11, I designated the G15 layout thinking it would be the same (minus the LCD), but now in keyboard shortcuts the play, stop, are detected as XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioStop and Xorg.0.log shows it is recieving ((II) Unreported Prefix0 scancode: 0x22 && (II) Unreported Prefix0 scancode: 0x24). The keys that DO work have the scancodes designated as 0xae,0xa0, etc... How can I reset or recon [01:20] figure the keyboard layout settings to use the initial autoconfigured settings, or better yet, configure and understand why this is happening? [01:20] slobad23, let's see vista run on this 1.2GHz faster than gnome and compiz [01:21] won't happen [01:21] i run xp on the eee with xubuntu bootable from SD... both are fine [01:21] I have the crappy bad 16GB version of the 900, Asus crapped bad on that one. [01:21] does anything in particular have to be enabled when compiling the kernel for klogd to work? [01:22] Write speed just stalls the whole system, other than that it's alright, but with all eye candy on in Ubuntu, I have to give Ubuntu the winning hand in terms of scalability on the hardware. [01:23] Anyone know about the status of these RT2xxx wireless cards in hardy? http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/wireless/#pidR26799 Especially the rt2500's. That page says works 'out of the box' but when I google it what I find on the ubuntu forums etc. is not encouraging (though not definitive either) [01:24] bz2? [01:25] whats the risk involved in using -o force when mounting a hd [01:25] investigating [01:25] look, i dont have gparted, i want to format my drive, make a few partitions, and add ubuntu to a partition... what can i do?? [01:25] futurama run the Ubuntu from a USB stick/CD and use the partition tool there? (wich allows you to format) [01:25] VirtualBox is a bit ugly, and I'm assuming that it's because I don't have KDE installed, and therefore don't have the KDE libraries. What packages do I need to install to make the interface look as it should? [01:26] i dont HAVE a cd, or a thumbstick, OR any removable media [01:26] hi [01:27] sounds like poor planning to me. === steven_ is now known as StevenX [01:27] hello all, how can i get subtitles to work in VLC? [01:27] futurama141, install gparted .. quite easy [01:27] Hey all [01:27] They are in .srt format. [01:28] i have the gparted ive just downloaded it, its in BZ2 file [01:28] futurama141: why? Why aren't you using APT? [01:28] futurama141, what OS are you on now? [01:28] I'm in the process of switching to ubuntu and need some help [01:28] im running PHLAK right now [01:28] futurama141, why are you in #ubuntu then? [01:28] futurama141: this isn't a PHLAK support channel [01:29] i installed mpd, and configured it to use pulse for output. i added the mpd user to pulse-rt, and pulse-access. upon playback, mpd stops, and logs that the connection to pulse was refused. it works fine if i run mpd as root, which i refuse to do. any ideas? [01:29] Hmm.. how come Option "TexturedVideo" "on" also fixed my flickering when running 3D games like UrbanTerror etc. from the things updating on the desktop. Going crazy trying to configure these things in the conf :x [01:29] im trying to install ubuntu [01:29] StevenX, just tried it. it works without any tweaking [01:29] futurama141: use the ubuntu desktop cd [01:29] I'm trying to get emerald to replace GDM; however, if I use emerald --replace via terminal, then when I close the terminal, emerald stops. Is there a way to keep it running all the time? [01:29] futurama141, what about wubi? [01:29] emerald --replace & [01:29] i dont have any cd!! [01:29] StevenX, just make sure srt file is in the same directory and has the same name as the video [01:29] wubi? [01:30] futurama141: download an iso and burn one? [01:30] futurama, no CD burner? No USB sticks what so ever? [01:30] i need to do this comand cp 2.6.24.patch rtl8187b-modified/ but my patch is the lastest! what i need to change? [01:30] futurama141, wubi lets you install ubuntu from within windows without partioning or burning a thing [01:30] speaking on emerald after reboot how can i make auto on boot [01:30] m1dn1ght, he isn't on windows [01:30] does anything in particular have to be enabled when compiling the kernel for klogd to work?

[01:31] futumara141: i may not have scrolled back enough, but if you want to start at scratch and format, create some partitions, and use ubuntu, then any install cd should do, there is a partitioner in the setup [01:32] Can somebody give me a quick comparison between Ubuntu and Kubuntu? [01:32] usser: thanks. I will double check, but i'm pretty sure that they are in the same dir and have the same name accept for extension. [01:32] neilvaage: where do you add emerald to to have it auto run on boot? [01:32] do you have to run a dns to send mail to localhost?

[01:50] fluid: how does a partition get "mounted" and "dismounted"? something to do with MBR? [01:50] ubuntunub, Because ntfs-3g, the driver that lets you access the ntfs drive was backwards engineered. Hibernation does funny things to the drive, and leaves it in a weird state. It could also have some security thing like bit-locker or something during hibernation. [01:51] whats the html command for a break? [01:51] bobbob1016: i have no bit-locker so can't be that [01:51] :
[01:51] ubuntunub, Something like it, I didn't say bit-locker, I said "like bit-locker" [01:51] thanks outbriber [01:51] would someone be able to help me change someing in netbeans on ubuntu? I need to change my default web browser [01:52] bobbob1016: ambiguity of English does wonders [01:52] thnx [01:52] ubuntunub, That is the answer. There are ways you could probably mount the drive still, but it will probably mess up the drive. [01:53] sorry guys i got a problem with amule. When I try do download the server list, it simply crashes. Got amule, amule commons, and alla the stuff on... can anybody help me?? [01:53] it is more likely that the ntfs mount bit is not flagged as unmounted during a hibernate.

[01:56] and say that some PCs that run on Linux has been running without freezing more than 10 years! [01:56] rockyrock: because it doesn't if you have solid hardware and don't run cutting edge software [01:56] rockyrock: depends on ur hardware, if u have compiz running wif a not so powerfull graphics,,.it'll hang sometimes [01:56] symantics it doesnt freeze it panics [01:57] yeah the words is panic [01:57] haha [01:57] wonder what the longest uptime on xp is ...lol [01:57] e que to querendo aprender limpa o cache do [01:57] do squid [01:57] anyone use the weather screenlet (not clear weather) and know how to get rid fo the extended forcast?

[02:06] DaFFes: are you using pulseaudio? [02:06] qr no [02:06] Hello, DramaLlama [02:06] so i don't think that this problem is really hard for the system [02:06] drama again [02:07] to getmy sound card work i did the following [02:07] Add [02:07] /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [02:07] options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388 [02:07] options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=lenovo [02:07] alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel [02:07] DaFFes: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:07] DaFFes: ahh, well I've had similar problems using pulseaudio, but if you're not using it I don't know what it could be [02:07] qr how did you fix it? [02:08] When i tried to use the shell in Ctrl+Alt+F1 it showed wired messages like Buffer and something [02:08] DaFFes: I ran pulseaudio as a system wide daemon as opposed to seperately for each user. === _dasdajs is now known as dasdajs [02:09] how to setup vpn connection? [02:09] Now i've tried everything to get oidentd working, but i still wont, can someone help me? :S [02:09] dasdajs: are you behind a router? [02:09] why do you even need an idented server anyway? [02:10] am I on freenode? I just wanted to join the #nautilus channel and it autologged me into this server [02:10] Starnestommy well the server might be, but no restrictions, why? [02:10] sikanrong: you are [02:10] thanks, xchat in 804 has funny defaults... [02:10] Can someone tell me what's in this screenshot, is it compiz? http://kontrol.me/temp/desktop030108.jpg [02:10] so is these things are normall to happen in Ubuntu? [02:10] dasdajs: you need to make sure that you can access port 113 from outside on that machine [02:10] sup? [02:11] Starnestommy why? :) [02:11] dasdajs: ident uses port 113 [02:11] secret [02:11] rockyrock, the console often shows logs/error messages/warnings that have no where else to go. [02:11] Starnestommy okay, tcp or udp? :) [02:11] heya, guys... who'[s up for tackling a confusing error? [02:11] dasdajs: only tcp [02:11] server irc.2600.net [02:11] Starnestommy okay i'll try that, thanks [02:11] Riyonuk: well, it looks like gnome looking at the bottom panel, so i'd guessi ts gnome, w/ some theme work. [02:11] vu_thanhtuan [02:11] dr_Willis: so it's normal to have ubuntu frozen? [02:11] my friend's running ubuntu server 8.04 and he and i are trying to configure postfix to use an smtp server for outgoing mail, BUT... it gives this error: Aug 31 20:02:06 myobu postfix/error[5322]: 5AD6515653F: to=, relay=none, delay=0.08, delays=0.05/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[209.85.201.114]:25: Connection timed o [02:12] ut) [02:12] rockyrock, you never asked that..youasked about messages in the console. [02:12] hi [02:12] rockyrock, most freezes i see are due to video card drivers.. or flash acting VERY badly [02:12] dr_Willis: no my aim to reach that, please read my previous messages [02:13] Riyonuk, looke like gnome tweaked a little.. and conky for the desktop info. [02:13] dr_Willis: I have nvidia 8500GT 512DDR2 and i use glx-new [02:13] I found it, thanks :D [02:13] Now what are these buttons? XD [02:13] http://kontrol.me/temp/yes_i_can_code_in_binary.jpg [02:13] in the top right, I only have 3 ._. [02:13] how old are you [02:13] dr_Willis: And yes this driver makes some troubles for me when i activate compiz [02:14] Starnestommy now i've opened for port 113, shall I restart sbnc/psybnc or? [02:14] thanhtuan, me? [02:14] dasdajs: just make sure that oidentd is running [02:14] Riyonuk, could be any of a dozen themes for compiz/emerald/gnome.. the # of buttons is customizeable on some themes. [02:14] Starnestommy okay, it is [02:14] What do the button's even do? [02:14] dasdajs: you'll need to restart your bouncer for irc servers to see your ident reply [02:15] Starnestommy okay thanks [02:15] Riyonuk, most likely 'roll up' 'always on top' and the normal features [02:15] dr_Willis: Have you ever faced a freeze? [02:15] :O [02:15] If I'm using an AGP nvidia card, do I need frame buffer support in my kernel? I have frame buffer off in my xorg.conf [02:15] I've never even heard of those [02:15] rockyrock, not really. This 8800gtsxxx machine has very few issues in Linux... just dont ask about Vista [02:16] Riyonuk, looks a lot like the 'plastik' theme im am using now :) differnt colors [02:16] i need some help with Realtek audio card i have tried everything possible to get sound but nothing works any ideas? [02:16] dr_Willis: what do you recommend? [02:16] Mys: how does lspci identify the card? [02:17] rockyrock, not a clue.. Not sure on your details or exact problem. some others in the channel may have advice. I tend to not use compiz, and i use the simpiler window managers.. i also rarely use flash. so i rarely have any issues. [02:17] lspci? [02:18] . [02:18] Mys: well, you've clearly not tried everything [02:18] 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0) [02:18] Mys: open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter, and see exactly how it identifies your sound device [02:18] thats what it said [02:19] i have AMD X64 [02:19] is there anyway to have a report file or something for why the system got frozen? [02:20] it was workin before i had did the sys-upgrade [02:20] IndyGunFreak: do you have any clue? [02:20] Mys: no, was just doing some googling, doesn't look like your'e alone [02:20] :| [02:21] i dont get it, it was working but i updated to 8.04 [02:21] Starnestommy still won't work :S [02:22] rockyrock, if you could troubleshoot and point to where/what froze it.. but just reporting 'it froze' isent really that helpfull.. [02:22] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter [02:22] |glxinfo |grep render [02:22] direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [02:22] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect [02:22] [02:22] ozo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:22] sorry [02:22] Mys: Yeah Ubuntu changed how they handle audio [02:22] rockyrock, could be a bug with the nvidia drivers. which are not under out controll. or could be somthing else entirely. [02:22] helo, is there any media centre than elisa? [02:23] Starnestommy any ideas? :S [02:23] Mys: let me see if I can find the links I was using to troubleshot my audio issue. [02:23] salaz, i have used MythTV befor - but its often overkill. [02:23] Same this you were seeing, it working at 7.10 and then didn't after update [02:24] dr_Willis: is it the same function as elisa? [02:24] vsftpd is no longer apearing in my init.d folder, how do I get it back? [02:24] salaz, not a clue.. never seen/heard of elisa befor.. MythTV is a all-in-one record/playback/stream/ TV-tivo type thing [02:25] !info elisa [02:25] elisa (source: elisa): media center solution - runtime executables. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.5-3 (hardy), package size 19 kB, installed size 144 kB [02:25] any ideas any one? [02:25] Ubuntu use to default to ALSA system, now it uses something else [02:25] dr_Willis: oh..elisa is like microsoft windows media centre..but much better..u should try [02:25] lost in translation [02:25] shocm, its actually using alsa.. with pulse audio on top [02:26] shocm: i installed every mixer and none worked [02:26] salaz, i tend to use 'geexbox' as a mini-linux-media-center thing on the laptop :) [02:26] dr_Willis: so how can i install geexbox or mythtv? [02:26] pulseaudio.....*shudder* [02:26] salaz, mythtv is documented and is its own package.. geexbox is a mini linux disrto. not a program. [02:27] Mys: yeah I tried the same thing with no luck except that it seeing that it has audio now. Before it would just say it didn't detect any sound card [02:27] !mythtv | salaz [02:27] salaz: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [02:27] Can someone point me in the direction to fix my screen resolution? Just installed Ubuntu, have some previous experience, but it has been a long time [02:27] Right Pulseaudio..l [02:27] salaz, mythtv may be vast overkill for your needs [02:27] nvm got it [02:27] dr_Willis: Any idea why they made that change? [02:27]  odditie: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:27] dr_Willis: ok tq [02:27] it has absolutely nothing in it [02:28]  odditie: open a terminal...

[02:28] odditie: try system - preferences - screen resolution [02:28] dr_Willis: how many tv channels can i get from mythtv? [02:28] Starnestommy I think the port is not opened, 2secs [02:28] opening querries by itself [02:28] shocm, check the !pulse factoid and the pulseaudio docs.. its progress [02:28] salaz, depends on your tuner. [02:29] dash9: only goes to 1024 x X, that is too small for my liking [02:29] mythtv [02:29] ScheissDrogen: opened [02:29]  odditie: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg.confsave [02:29] dr_Willis:i'm gonna need a tuner? tv card or external tv u say? [02:29] close the window [02:29] how can I test if the port is open? [02:29] or beter clean the pidgin [02:30] ? [02:30] salaz, go check its homepage/docs.. you obiously need a tuner to tune in shows... you could record video in if you have some way to do that.. it does more then just record tv.

[02:56] npope-laptop sudo: /etc/init.d/iptables: command not found hmmm [02:56] guys I need to get rid of a subversion checkout folder :( [02:56] echostorm: then be concerned about what happened to that file. likely something is wrong with the disk it's on. that's the only time I've seen that file get corrupted. [02:56] hey is anyone in here farmillar with ares p2p?? [02:56] I get Permission Denied all the time [02:56] dasdajs: one second.... [02:56] Lollipopz: rm? [02:56] Heh, it seemed compiz sapped all my video memory. Got 256 MB on the card, and there wasn't even enough left to play a fullscreen video. [02:56] danbhfive permission denied :( in sudo :S [02:56] Lollipopz: location ? [02:57] Lollipopz: in sudo? wow [02:57] it happened during an attempt to move emerald... it told me that i couldnt remove it, i forget the error... and its been like this ever since [02:57] Alright. [02:57] restarting [02:57] here /home/lollipopz/www/django-trunk [02:57] hi.. i have the mount/unmount iso image nautilus scripts, but they won't mount... why is that? [02:57] Nutzebahn: wait... [02:57] echostorm: likely has nothing to do with what you were doing at the time. [02:57] i suppose they do not have sudo permission, but how can i do that? [02:57] Does anybody know of a program for ubuntu that will allow me to video chat over the AIM protocol? [02:58] i'm to do a command "sudo patch -p1 < 2.6.24.patch" and it's giving me permission denied even with sudo, why? [02:58] most likely not... is there a disk checking utility for linux? [02:58] what kind of filesharing program do you guys use ?? [02:58] trying* [02:58] pianoboy3333: kopete [02:58] eko1: "chmod -R +w ." Probably don't have write set [02:59] timothy007: ok, I'll check it out [02:59] dstrbdfrk: azureus [02:59]  echostorm: e2fsck [02:59] thanks :) [02:59]  echostorm: e2fsck, carefull... [02:59] eko1: do that in the dir you are trying to patch obviously. [02:59] timothy007: Kopete only supports video for MSN and Yahoo afaik? [02:59] sup hizoes? [02:59]  echostorm: more advice ? [02:59] is it pretty easy to use timothy007?? [02:59] well, the carefull thing sounds scary, so more advice would be usefull yes :)) [03:00] Debolaz: your most likely correct, I don't use it for that [03:00] hello, Is there ever a need to defrag a HD using UBUNTU? If so, how? [03:00] echostorm: best think to do is "touch /forcefsck" ande reboot [03:00] i used to use aries but i switched to ubuntu and it dont offer it [03:00] hello, i iz bored, whats up? [03:00] how do I figure out why my OS is reporting the wrong partition size after I ran gparted? [03:00] dstrbdfrk: azureus is quite easy to use... [03:00] is there a way to stop all servers (apache, mysql, php) on my ubuntu desktop at once or do I have to figure out the commands for each one [03:00] dstrbdfrk: and very powerful [03:01] if you dont like azureus, may i sufggest deluge? its in the software channel [03:01] npope-laptop can u find something good? :) [03:01] dasdajs: sudo iptables -F [03:01] Nutt718, theres no need for defrag, i believe its done automatically/incrementaly with every file operation [03:01] DramaLlama: where is the partition size being reported? [03:01] dres: returned 'operation not permitted' [03:01] dasdajs: that was good timing [03:01]  echostorm: don't run this cmd on a mounted filesystem, but use a live cd, unmount disk first, then sudo e2fsck (see also man fsck), and don't run it if no errors of hd are occured [03:01] hehe [03:01] npope-laptop i've done that [03:01] usser, thanks\ === Justin_ is now known as W8JKC [03:01] ok i will do that :) thank you very much for the advice there [03:01] eko1: using sudo? is this on an nfs mounted filesystem? [03:01] dasdajs: once doing that there is no rules in iptables... [03:01] npope-laptop okay [03:02] npope-laptop but port 113 is still refused [03:02] dasdajs: are you trying to scan your ports from a remote computer? if so check that your router is forwarding the correct port to your comp [03:02]  echostorm:other to win a (slighty) chance to get more probs, check your fsatb for uuids [03:02] npope-laptop right now checking from the server it self === evtons is now known as tonsofpcs [03:02] Hey, can anyone tell me the latest ping version for Ubuntu ?

[03:03] ping utility, iputils-sss20071127 [03:03] is there an instant messenger client for ubuntu that is compatible with iChat video chat? [03:03] zcat[1]: Is there a iputils-sss20071127-1 ? [03:03] npope-laptop telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [03:03] I dunno.. [03:03]  Predom[Working]: ping ? [03:03] can someone help me format my drive [03:03] mrtech2122: use gparted [03:03] mrtech2122: yup [03:04] never seen anybody worry before that they don't have the most up to date ping!! [03:04] ? [03:04] dasdajs: try adding this to iptables "iptables -A INPUT -i eth2 -p tcp --dport 113 -j ACCEPT" [03:04] dasdajs: without the quotes [03:04] i was playing a dvd in totem and all of a sudden the colors inverted, does anyone know the solution? [03:04] lol my ping isn't up to date i won't be able to ping efficiently [03:04] mrtech2122: only one drive in pc ? [03:04] zcat[1]: First tiem for everything :P Do you know if that versio is around? [03:04] is that a package [03:04] dres: redid it with sudo, seemed to work but then i was still denied permission for the first command [03:04] 2 [03:04] ScheissDrogen: Yeah. ping [03:04] npope-laptop done that and change eth2 to eth0 [03:04] dekushrub: play them in vlc? I find that better cos it does dvd menus and stuff.. [03:05] dekushrub: use vlc media player [03:05] mrtech2122: gparted is nice program with a GUI [03:05] dres: i'm on a fresh install from windows vista so maybe my hdd is ntfs still... [03:05] Predom[Working]: i just installed latest version nad updated i'm booting my laptop right now [03:05] dasdajs: did it work? [03:05]  Predom[Working]: the ping command is in a standard installation [03:05] Predom[Working]: no idea. but I keep my lappy pretty up to date. hang on [03:05] cpierce, what version of iputils-ping do you have on your system? [03:05] timothy007, it was working fine in totem and the colors just changed, i'd rather fix the problem than install more software [03:05] npope-laptop "localhost [127.0.0.1] 113 (auth) : Connection refused" and "telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused" [03:05] ok ill try [03:05] ScheissDrogen: I know :) [03:05] zcat[1]: Thanks [03:05] mrtech2122: otherwise, you can use mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 lets say to format this partition [03:05] unop: i'm checking [03:05] cpierce: Thanks :) [03:05] npope-laptop can't it be the host who have closed for connections on port 113? [03:05] mrtech2122: only one drive in pc ? [03:05] dasdajs: and no other firewalls are running (router, server etc..)? [03:06] npope-laptop I don't know, I think so, port 6667 is also blocked [03:06] ahoy guys [03:06] nope, no updates that I can see [03:06] dasdajs: how can you irc then? [03:06] eko1: do "cat /proc/mounts" and look for the filesystem you are doing this on. make sure it's "rw" though the chmod shouldn't have worked if it weren't. [03:06] dekushrub: what version ubuntu and did you check the forums? [03:06] irc.freenode.net:7000 :) [03:06] aa [03:07] ok found the problem. check this out: line 16479 Recommends: dbus, çnome-panel [03:07] see the weird g ?

[03:29] matthew_:sudo apt-get install vlc [03:30] i did install VLC [03:30] matthew_, go to the !medibuntu factoid url. and enable medibuntu repository and install the "libdvdcss2" package.. and there may beotehrs there you want. w32codecs will be one [03:30] matthew_:bring own codec, so can watch dvd with that [03:30] matthew_:brings own codec, so can watch dvd with that [03:30] hola [03:30] matthew_, vlc is one of the few players that may not need all the extra codecs.

[03:34] woli, never used it.. may want to check the ubuntu forums for 'sound juicer mp3' [03:34] how do i stop proftp? in top i can see a process 'proftpd: (accepting connections)' but theres no proftpd in /etc/init.d/ [03:34] ScheissDrogen, em, i can't rip in MP3 [03:35] nor in synaptic amazingly [03:35] dr_Willis, in general, the audio-profiles thing... [03:35] oi [03:35] xim, perhaps it's /etc/init.d/ftpd ? [03:35] woli: try ruby [03:35] ScheissDrogen, how? [03:35] ok...still not working [03:35] only ksmserver has this package, unop [03:35] i enabled the medibuntu repository, and i can't find both of those codecs [03:35] ScheissDrogen, i downloaded the restricted extras, and the most i could unlock from it was the MP4 format... but still no mp3...

[03:36] Jordan_U, i can play them... i just cannot rip a CD in mp3... [03:37] woli: Do you have lame installed? [03:37] i don't know... [03:37] ScheissDrogen, i installed ruby [03:37] woli, its tecnically illeagle - because no one has paid the liceneing fee. :) [03:37] ScheissDrogen, ruby is a programming/scripting language not some mp3 ripper [03:37] xim, hmm .. perhaps this should find the initscript. dpkg -L proftpd | grep -i init [03:38] woli: you might need to recompile the program after you get the lame libraries.. [03:38] Jordan_U, how do i verify? [03:38] woli, its possible theres newer/updated versions of the apps on the medibunti repo with mp3 support. [03:38] woli: Look in synaptic or just "sudo apt-get install lame" and if it's not installed already it will be :) [03:38] woli: sudo apt get install sound-juicer , ruby is indeed wrong [03:39] ok, now i can rip in mp3 with banshee [03:39] mrtech2122:right click on the partitions, delete...

[03:59] lazukars: then do that. remove the CD too [03:59] When I rebooted the pc it just went right to windows. [03:59] eHome_, if that is not the case you can try with your installation cd or a live cd, and get into chroot /mnt/sysimage and try to fix your problems [03:59] lazukars: then you didn't install properly [03:59] removed the cd.

[04:01] lazukars: I do not PM you. and I strongly advise you not to PM me either [04:01] spiritssight, see the fdupes app [04:02] spiritssight, and i believe gthumb has a function to search for duplicates too [04:02] but you told me to check your pm. What? [04:02] all right, all is well. now, will i have to enter startx every time, or will it automatically start x from now on? [04:02] fdupes right?

[04:03] wols_: lol i tried the other guy's thing :P [04:03] l3d: it is a permissions problem not a "generic modules" one, whatever that is [04:03] niuq: after livecd, what should i do? i m dummy [04:03] spiritssight, gthumb > edit > search for duplicates [04:03] ive still got your command written down tho (on my keyboard :\ lol) [04:04] I am not getting into the ubuntu-in, before it hinders directly into ubuntu in Portuguese now I do not know what happened enter here Direct [04:04] has anyone had experience with the screen freezing on any application (such as openoffice, etc) except firefox? [04:04] wols_: what does /etc/rc.d/*dm* doexactly? [04:04] eHome_, try to mount your filesystem, then chroot , after that run fsck [04:04] Zopiac: nothing since it's gibberish [04:04] eHome_, or just run fsck [04:04] ? [04:04] niuq: fsck on a mounted filesystem is a very dumb idea [04:05] Bukoy: try kill esd [04:05] Zopiac: ls /etc/init.d/gdm [04:05] eHome_: check out super grub cd, too (google) [04:05] niuq: so after i login liveCD, run: fsck,-->will it take long time to finish fsck? i m a bit scared now [04:05] Zopiac, it globs (matches) all filenames that contain dm in /etc/rc.d [04:05] oh [04:05] lol [04:05] ok [04:05] why cant i post on the ubuntu forums? ive posted before, and ive never been warned about anything. its telling me im doing a privileged action, or havent activated my acct. [04:05] eHome_: just running "fsck" won't do anything [04:06] eHome_, run fsck to your hd, to check for errors [04:06] isn't xorg.conf located in /etc? [04:06] speener, no. /etc/X11/ [04:06] hello everyone [04:06] unop: thanx [04:06] eHome_: most likely many files are already deleted/lost on your partition. so I doubt a fsck will help to get a running system. you need to at least reinstall grub, probably more. that's why I said, restore from backup [04:06] niuq: i got a long long list of errs just now before it finish fsck [04:06] Bukoy: /msg ubottu etiquette [04:06] oops [04:06] sorry [04:06] quero entrar no ubuntu-br não sei como fasso [04:07] !pt | dudu [04:07] dudu: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português.

[04:09] nvm with my issue, was using the wrong JRE... was using Ubuntu's instead of Sun's... now it's fixed.

[04:11] is the gnome desktop a little too demanding to run on a system with only 512 ram? [04:12] JustinF_: wrong place to ask. do you have a ubuntu support question?

[04:22] cuz right now....i have NO idea what i lost...i just know i lost about 500gigs of stuff [04:22] geremy: ls -l /var/cache/apt [04:22] Wicked:where was the disk mounted? [04:22] danbhfive: Remember that wild cards are expanded by the shell before they get to the program / command so locate * will expand to "locate " :) [04:22] <_woli_> Jordan_U, banshee does have a similar itunes interface, but will not organize my music... [04:22] wols_: I get the archives directory etc [04:23] horale que no este es el de español o solo que alguien esta contestando en ingles [04:23] wols_: no debs [04:23] wols_, yes. it just died. like a hour ago. ive tried everything. [04:23] wols_, it just spins up...clicks...spins down. [04:23] geremy: yes. archives directory is NOT a .deb, is it? I told you already: /var/cache/apt != /var/cache/apt/archives/ [04:23] Wicked: answer my question and don't talk gibberish [04:23] !es | Balam [04:23] Balam: 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.

[04:24] wols_: I'm sorry, but you're clearly not understanding. I am staring at this, and it is fact; I am staring at the online docs, and they appear correct. unop confirms. something is wrong on *your* end [04:24] Wicked, do you not read what i type. wols_, yes. [04:24] geremy: ls -l /var/cache/apt [04:24] wols_, no [04:24] hello how to know the users who connect via ssh? [04:24] wols_, but i do have plenty under archives/ under that directory [04:25] Wicked: "yes" is not an answer to the question "where was the disk mounted", is it? [04:25] wols_: I have already done so, and confirmed the correct placements according to the docs [04:25] I'm trying to compile subdiversvn for my x64 ubuntu system, and I'm getting this error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. What's the issue? GCC passes [04:25] unop: yes, but NOT in /var/cache/apt. [04:25] jigp: run 'pinky' from the command line [04:25] wols_: which is under archives [04:25] danbhfive: One thing that blew my mind a little the first time I saw it is that if you want to list all of the files in your current directory, because of this you can just do "echo *" :) [04:25] wols_, im sorry. i read it as. "was the disk mounted" it was mounted at /External [04:25] geremy: learn to READ [04:25] wols_, are you ok today? [04:25] and im not getting a full dump using locate [04:25] Wicked: so ALL files with the path beginning with /External are gone. there [04:26] thanks outbribber [04:26] wols_: Thank you for your courteous assistance. It won't be needed anymore. [04:26] thanks outbriber === Charitwo is now known as Logos [04:26] jigp: that will tell you all the users that are currently connected. To see all ones that have connected, run this in the command line $ vim /var/log/auth.log [04:26] Jordan_U: ahahah, thats pretty funny actually, that it works like that [04:26] wols_, well yes. everything in /External is gone. but this JUST happened. im hoping to get a list of files from locate so i know what i lost. [04:26] i just need to do this before updatedb runs again [04:26] Jordan_U: thats a great example [04:27] Wicked: Locate External [04:27] and locate '*' > db.dump is not giving me a full print out [04:27] erm, "locatate External" [04:27] hola no puedo conectarme a la de #ubuntu-es [04:27] grah [04:27] se conecta a esta [04:27] unop: thank you very much for your help [04:27] Balam: english. and your irc client gives you a message why [04:27] geremy, yw [04:28] wols_, i need to list the sub directorys of /External also. [04:28] Wicked: yes. RUN IT% [04:28] xchat [04:28] wols_, locate External only lists the MAIN dir on /external [04:28] Wicked: try "locate -E '*' > db.dump" [04:28] Wicked: Be sure to backup /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db before it is overwritten [04:29] Jordan_U, ah ok cool. i did not know where it was stored. backing up now [04:29] it shows ALL files which have the string "External" in its full path [04:29] dres, will run that in 1 sec.... [04:29] wols_, umm....hmm it didnt for me. [04:29] whats the command to list what drives you have and where they are , like to say /dev/sda1 Ubuntu ... [04:29] OK, two weird things that don't happen when I boot the ubuntu live CD.. my laptop won't recognise and USB mice unless I plug them in before I boot, and I can't use an external screen, everything works file until I log in and then it locks up hard, total freeze and only poweroff will get it back. [04:29] Wicked: sudo locate External possibly if it's a permission issue [04:30] is there a way to tell fdupes to del and just keep the one of each of the dups [04:30] wols_, i did it as root [04:30] Xcerca: sudo fdisk -l [04:30] dres, invalid options -# [04:30] err -E [04:30] wols_ thanks [04:30] If I boot off the live CD, USB mice hotplug like they should, and the external SVGA works just fine. [04:30] any idea where I should even start looking for an answer about this? [04:30] Wicked: hmm. look at "man locate" and look for an option for non-existing or to disable existence checks. [04:31] i see -e, --existing [04:31] Print only entries that refer to files existing at the time locate is run. [04:31] anyone? configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables ... what's going on?

[04:40] using samba to setup a network printer, on windows xp i'm getting "The server for the printer does not have the correct printer driver installed." every solution in the forums says "don't use samba, use cups instead", but that's a pita from the client side [04:40] any idea? [04:40] what is the printer? [04:40] hp laserjet 4000 [04:41] I thought cups worked with samba. [04:41] * rdehler_ shrugs [04:41] The printer is on the linux box being shared to a xp machine? [04:42] rdehler_: system>administration>printin [04:42] dr_Willis: yes [04:43] Anyone know a dock-type program for RSS feeds? [04:43] that will notify you when a feed has a new item, etc [04:43] FAJALOU: what about it...? [04:43] buffer: for a specific dock? [04:43] rdehler_, you did install the samba pacakges and enabled the printer shares in the smb.conf ? (not sure if they are enabled by default) [04:43] I use XFCE.. [04:43] o you want to see it on the xp machine,,, it's working on ubuntu? [04:44] i see the printer from the xp box, it just won't auto-install drivers as it usually does [04:44] correct FAJALOU [04:44] it works on ubuntu [04:44] sorry i was thinking the other way around... [04:44] I can't seem to find anything [04:44] dr_Willis: yes i have samba installed and printer shares are enabled [04:44] Alright, I'm back for some more. Running in a higher resolution right now, but thats only because I'm not running the driver it gives me for my nvidia card. I have went to nvidia and downloaded the driver, but I can't get it to run, says it has to run in root. Any help for this sad sad noob? [04:45] buffer: Yeah, I can't recommend anything. I just use google homepage. [04:45] *nod* [04:46] odditie: is it a .deb? [04:46] its probably a shell script to build it from source odditie [04:46] odditie: driver on desktop ? [04:46] it is a .run [04:47] odditie 'sudo nvidia.run' [04:47] rdehler_, whats weird - normally if windows tells me the server dosetn have the drivers installed.. windows lets me just select the proper printer from the windows drivers.. [04:47] odditie: Have you tried System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers? [04:47] yes, it is on the desktop, I have got it to open by double clicking it [04:47] odditie, it will then give you directions, and it probably wont work when its done [04:47] odditie: Do not install using the .run [04:47] odditie: open a ter,inal... [04:47] terminal [04:47] odditie waht card do you have [04:47] /var/lib/samba/printers/W32X86/ is empty, and that's where smb.conf is looking for drivers [04:47] Jordan, the driver through the admin panel won't work [04:48] Ok scheiss [04:48] dr_Willis: yea it lets me, but i don't want to have to do that for X hosts that use my network [04:48] Cocoabean: geforce 8800 GT [04:48] so i guess my question is how do i populate /var/lib/samba/printers/W32X86/, is there a package? [04:48] is it part of the legacy drivers odditie [04:48] rdehler_, ahhhhhhhhhh.. now its making sence.. I recall some doc. that told how to track down the driverfiles from a xp machine and copy them over to the samba server.. but i forget where... [04:48] odditie: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorgconfsave2 [04:48] i see [04:48] Cocoabean: shouldn't be, its a 8800, its a fairly new card [04:49] rdehler_, for a start - i would check the 'samba-doc' package. and the 'using samba book' thats in there.. thats the defacto-guide on the topic. :) [04:49] odditie, ok, nvm, ive only tried with the legacy drivers, never got it to work so i just gave up, GeForce2 MX440 [04:49] will do thx [04:49] ScheissDrogen: Alright, no errors this time [04:49] rdehler_, i recall the basics was you isntalled the printer on ONE machine.. then ya looked somewhere.. and copied the files over to the samba server from some location [04:50] odditie: sudo cp /home//Desktop/ rdehler_, of course now a days.. it seems every printer comes with 129+mb of a setup.exe for its drivers... [04:50] makes sense [04:50] How do I use grub to boot to a version of linux installed on a usb drive on a system that doesn't support usb booting in the BIOS? [04:50] cocoabean: no worries. I have done it on an older machine before, but its been a long time, just made the switch back to Ubuntu today on my machine [04:50] Merther, i do not think thats possible.. grub can only see what the bios sees. I belive... [04:51] Merther its not possible as far as i kno, ive tried it [04:51] Merther, i could be wrong.. the PuppyLinux forums I think had a thread or 2 on this topic.. and possible work arounds [04:52] ScheissDrogen: Ok, I think it worked, no errors, just popped up another line to work on [04:52] good to know, too bad though. Anyone seen Open BIOS? does that flash the bios and may give the computer the ability to boot to the usb? [04:52] odditie: cd /usr/src [04:52] odditie: ls , can see the driver ? l= small L [04:53] hi guys [04:53] Merther, i would think it may need more then just a bios update.. also Openbios only works on specific machines last i looked. [04:53] yes I can see the driver [04:54] stan555: Hi! [04:54] anyone here now how to transcode using vlc? [04:54] anyone here now how to transcode using vlc?

[05:07] I tried the DAAP thing, but it just says "retrieving" forever [05:07] banana-phana: Newer versions of itunes changed the protocal to be incompatible [05:07] awww [05:07] ckyle, ive seen where the framebuffer causes issues and makes the console unuseable. :( [05:07] Is there any patches for Rhythmbox for this? [05:07] banana-phana, over a samba share? You could mount the share locally with some tools. then it whould appear as a local directory [05:08] that's what i did. i used ssh [05:08] banana-phana, useing the sshfs tool? [05:08] How do I change my ubuntu 8.04 setup, so that instead of launching gnome, it just stays at the command prompt? Need some command that I can reverse easily from the command prompt, as I'm new to gnu/linux. [05:08] the gnome connect thing - i thought just sort of browsed the ssh stuff that way. not quite the same as sshfs does it. [05:08] erm, the one through nautilus, where you click "go to", then type in ssh://username@ipaddress [05:09] CodeWar:If you right click on the workspace applet and chose preferences you can add workspaces......the they will appear in the keyboard shortcut utility [05:09] Ok, I fail at Ubuntu. Did what you said, got to a spot where I could type, but nothing would do anything [05:09] i double click the music file, it opens rhythmbox, tries to load it, then terminates rhythmbox :( [05:09] banana-phana, 'sshfs' works by mounting the ssh server to a local directory. that may work much better [05:09] !sshfs [05:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about sshfs [05:09] ack! [05:09] hmm is it safe to compile a new kernel on ubuntu server edition? I only have ssh access :S [05:09] i just put a different video card in, an ATI Radeon 1900 series, and i can't seem to configure it. it's making me run in low-graphics mode. i tried installing the drivers, even the proprietary drivers. any help? [05:10] ckyle: man update-rc.d, you can just remove the gmd init script from init.d and then use update-rc.d to update the symlink which I think is in level 5 [05:10] how do I disable gnome from starting... want to boot into a clean command prompt? thx. [05:10] how do you do sshfs? and can i do that through nautilus? [05:10] ama1029: thx [05:11] Question. How can I find out if MySql, Perl, and zlib are all running properly? According to Synaptic they appear to be installed. But I do not know if they are running properly. I have unbunto server running gnome desktop. Thank you. [05:11] is it the same, only you do "sshfs://username@ipaddress"? [05:11] and what do you mean local directory? because the directory shows up on my desktop already [05:11] it's under "computer" also [05:12] banana-phana, as far as i know the sshfs: stuff dosent mount the share... [05:12] hey [05:12] banana-phana, thats the BIG differaance . check the 'mount' command [05:12] i need help if someone can [05:12] banana-phana, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [05:12] well, whatever i did, it's mounted now [05:13] i just installed ubuntu on desktop, ubuntu only, and i cant get on the net [05:13] banana-phana, if it shows up in mount, you could point the program at the /home/user/whateversshismountedto/ and see the remote machine [05:13] the fuse tools are so handy in cases like this. [05:13] that's what i did. rhythmbox can see the folder [05:14] the whole way kde and gnomes file managers use the Special:// stuff.. can cause issues at times. :( [05:14] the firefox that i see in my package manager is beta 5, is that current?

[05:30] its a java game [05:30] oh my bad [05:30] so he leaves [05:30] Probably a stupid question, but does Amarok play mp3s? Or at least has a patch to play mp3s without much fuss? [05:31] what is the easiest way to add iptables rules on boot? [05:31] ckyle: you edit .bashrc in bim.

[05:33] ruby is a language [05:33] It says it needs it if it's going to play streaming last.fm [05:33] nixk490, try clearing your profile, then if still crash, try in safe mode, if safe mode works, then your problem is a theme or addon, then if it still crashes, try a new profile [05:33] Hmmn. [05:33] install ruby then.. im suprised its not allready installed. [05:33] ckyle: that is my color scheme. it gives me red and green userhost:~, and then my command goes down on the next line [05:33] well, it might. i haven't tried yet. i'm still installing amarok. [05:33] im on a fresh install of firefox [05:33] This might sound a bit silly, but I need to figure out which speaker is the "left" speaker, and which is the "right" speaker, whats a nice (small) application that would let me make only one speaker play? Sort of like that left/right feature in winamp.. [05:34] no addons or editions [05:34] well try what is siad though [05:34] outbriber: cool... but how would you do that with just a "$ " command prompt using your color scheme? thems a lotta characters for me to wrap my brain around. [05:35] Theres a 'bash prompt howto' wit all sorts of neat bash prompts. :) [05:36] i just double checked the cam, plugged it into a win box and it appears as a mass storage device. anyone know how to stop it being treated as a camera by ubuntu? [05:36] you mean standard digital cam? [05:37] does it have removable flashcard? [05:37] ckyle: each set (\[\033[1;31m\]\u) controls a different thing. To have just a $ in read, I think you'd want something like .. PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[1;31m\]' But to tell you the truth, I can't quite remember what each part of it is, I did it a while ago.

I've been reading through documentation all night, but there's one thing I'm still not clear on: Which partitions are supposed to be primary, and which partitions are supposed to be extended? [06:09] none are extended [06:09] Hey guys. I'm having an interesting problem with flash vids. A lot of the time when i'm trying to view a flash vid it is just a gray box. Any idea why it isn't working properly? [06:09] extended means that it's divided up into sub-partitions [06:10] G1: I dont think it matters. You just have to have some extended since you have more than 4. Also, making /tmp a separate partition? Does that even make sense? [06:10] wait [06:10] ushare is WORKING! as a DLNA media server to my playstation3! [06:11] woohoo! [06:11] thosmos: pls idle in #ubuntu-ps3 :D [06:11] you only need seperate partitions for /home and MAYBE /usr under certain circumstances [06:11] Rakeer: ok, thanks [06:11] ubottu ok according to that link, the drivers are already included [06:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:11] lol [06:11] G1: also, you only need / and /home, unless you are doing LVM I think, but I gota go [06:12] !info gcc [06:12] thosmos: are you able to stream remuxed MKV's at all?

I am able to use the wireless from my neighbor in my dorm, but my ubuntu doesn't have wireless hardware.

[06:16] acrousey: yeah [06:16] what is a good one for UI [06:17] gimpshop makes gimp look like photoshop [06:17] nothing wrong with the gimp UI, just people learn some other crap first and have to unlearn it [06:17] humm, there's no software properties selection as the multiverse install guide mentions [06:17] acrousey: get a spare ethernet cable [06:17] make a cross connect cable [06:17] then give each of them ips from same subnet: 192.168.20.xxx [06:17] for instance [06:17] starscalling: from machine to machine?

[06:30] torx1704, just launch steam and run cs:S [06:31] it cant [06:31] i come with mount error [06:31] somehow I expect this to go badly [06:32] zcat: i get that feeling all the time [06:32] torx1704, what do u mean mount error? [06:32] torx1704: it won't work right [06:32] ill link it [06:32] torx1704, is it installed on your windows partition? [06:32] last time I tried gnash is was completely hopeless [06:32] yes in wine/fake_drive c [06:33] torx1704, whats the error message? [06:34] Is there anyone here who might be able to answer my Icedtea/Java plugin question? [06:35] can someone help me set up permissions properly for my user (server)? i want /www to be fully read/write, but also that apache needs to be able to access it r/w too .. i always struggle with this, lol [06:35] now it works just i need some new font [06:35] fonts [06:35] i ended up locking my user out [06:36] cya guys gtg [06:36] ok, gnash doesn't seem to do anything at all. no gootube, no weebls stuff... complete FAIL. Did I miss something? [06:36] It doesn't even seem to be trying [06:36] mordof, sudo chown www-data.www-data /var/www [06:36] gnash is largely worthless [06:36] adobe sucks, but it works (barely) [06:37] hello [06:37] I understood it had at least reached the point of playing gootube.. === t33x is now known as tee [06:37] unop: then i have to put write access to everyone for my user to have access right? [06:37] <_hase> K, why would I get this, ssh: connect to host hase-laptop port 22: Connection refused lost connection [06:38] unop: i added my user to the www-data group.. and then did sudo chown server:www-data on it [06:38] mordof, no, that's too much - just add your user to the www-data group [06:38] why hard disk led dlashes periodically? [06:38] _hase: apt-get install ssh on the target host [06:38] _hase, do you have ssh server installed on that laptop? [06:38] flashes [06:38] <_hase> ssh server? [06:38] mordof, is server even a valid user? [06:38] unop yeah.... [06:38] _hase: apt-get install ssh on both machines, actully.. assuming at some point you'll want to move stuff from either [06:39] mordof, is apache setup to run under that user? [06:39] zcat[1]: it didn't work for mcuh of anything last i tried. that was 0.8.1 or 0.8.2, iirc [06:39] unop www-data. i don't know how to change it [06:39] i got windows hdd i just added in my machine, what do i put in menu.list to add it to grub, it has root (hd0,0) but i can't boot the drive with that [06:39] i need to install ubuntu on p3, no cd-drive, no usb boot option, tried network boot, p3 doe s not detect it either, have windows running currently on the pc, any suggestions? [06:39] how can i log all hard disk requests? [06:39] mordof, why don't you stick to how things should be done? :) === tee is now known as t33x [06:39] unop: >.> [06:40] bobernet: all very well for RMS to say use only free software.. but if they can't get to weebls stuff my kids would kill me... [06:40] mordof, .. until you know how to change things around without asking for support. [06:40] devin i can say [06:40] unop: how will i ever know if i just leave things alone? [06:41] i'm currently have some problems with my printer [06:41] i can print but i'm not sure how to use the scan [06:41] i need some serious help, i cannot figure out this problem with my connection dropping randomly to save my life [06:41] mordof, well, first understand how things are setup the 'usual' way .. then build up from there on .. makes sense, doesn't it? :) [06:41] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5704160#post5704160 [06:41] <_hase> hmm, still saying connection refused [06:41] devin is there chainloader +1 [06:41] unop: i do understand how things are set up the 'usual' way [06:41] unop: i'm trying to learn how to do it this way [06:41] "you destroy every pie you touch today.. destroy mine and you'll pay..." [06:42] the error is reads off is : Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executablre format [06:42] dinar yes [06:42] is there chainloader +1 in menu lst ? ok [06:42] anyone? [06:42] unop: what i don't understand is how a folder can be chown server:server (my current user) and then chmod 655 or 665, tried both.. and have no permission [06:43] Any one familiar with SSH? [06:43] mordof, you mean you have no permissions over the folder? [06:43] unop: *nods* even though i specified myself as the user and group [06:43] unop: i still get permission denied [06:43] devin , is it ide disk? [06:43] mordof, what does the groups command give you? [06:43] i am vnc'd into my box so any more information let me know and i will post it on this thread so not to spam msg anyone [06:44] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5704160#post5704160 my thread on my ics problem [06:44] unop: groups command? sorry but which exactly are you referring to [06:44] unop: nevermind, didn't know that worked, lol [06:44] mordof, open up a terminal and type groups [06:44] devin , do you know exactly it is hd0 0 ?

[06:45] unop: tried to cd into the folder and it won't let me [06:45] zcat[1]: dunno about weebls, but around here, it's webkins *sigh( [06:45] mordof, what are the permissions on the folder? [06:46] there are a command in terminal to know out about disks and partitions any body knows? [06:46] hi [06:46] dinar, sudo fdisk -l [06:46] i downloaded a skydome off beryl-look.org and set it up... but it doesnt show... its just white [06:46] unop: ah, x isn't anywhere in the permission list.. odd, thought i put it on there. hold on, lol [06:46] haydn1 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-383185.html [06:46] airdog: Thanks! [06:47] unop: ah, right. 6 is just rw, not x [06:47] haydn1 thank google ;) [06:47] meoblast001: Hardy doesn't support Beryl anymore. You should be able to accomplish the Skydome effect through compiz. [06:47] ok.. i think i figured it out [06:47] it must be png [06:47] I've been on there for an hour! What was your search string [06:47] Ok I'm stumped now... I installed a fresh version of Ubuntu with intentions of dual booting with vista or xp, however neither worked with the partition I created with Gparted. So then I did a fresh install of windows vista, intending to shrink the hd and install Ubuntu... that didn't work either, ugh... [06:47] haydn1 ubuntu limit ssh to local subnets [06:48] haydn1, have sshd listen only the address in the local subnet or use iptables to restrict access from local subnets only -- the latter is preferred [06:48] devin try sudo fdisk -l if you can.. i think you cannot [06:48] devin , are you in grub's terminal? === maniezz is now known as co_mau [06:48] unop: iptables from my firewall? [06:49] haydn1, iptables is the firewall [06:49] haydn1 - firestarter is easy gui to configure iptables by ssh port limiting only to local ips [06:49] anyone with a notebook with ENE Card Reader working in 8.04? [06:49] unop: if i chown server:www-data and mod as 775 is that ok?

How is it "not working?" [06:49] mordof, well, it's ok ... but does it suit your purpose, i dunno [06:50] unop: i think it should [06:50] dinar, I'm on my laptop. but I'm logged in linux on my other machine, i just can't get the xp partition to boot. anyhow fdisk -l shows my windows drive as, /dev/sdb1 [06:50] anyone with ppp0 wireless card internet connection sharing exp. i need help... my guess is its a iptables issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5704160#post5704160 [06:50] i then it is not hd 0 0 [06:51] unop: i keep forgetting x is required to browse through folders, lol. that's the biggest thing i keep messing up xD [06:51] it is (hd1,0) i think [06:51] devin ^^ [06:51] bobertdos: All of the partitions I've created aren't recognized or aren't supported when I go to install the 2nd OS. [06:51] anyone with a notebook with ENE Card Reader working in 8.04? [06:51] dinar, i try that [06:52] ekow: using SATA drives? [06:52] ikuttann [06:52] unop: i mounted /www by itself to seperate it from my /home as well as / partitions.. hopefully that'll keep it a bit safer [06:53] when is the next version of ubuntu?

[06:56] anyone with a notebook with ENE Card Reader working in 8.04? [06:57] or know somone who could help? [06:57] ekow: You said you've tried both directions, Windows then Ubuntu, Ubuntu then Windows............Generally Windows does need to be first........If you had a means of backing things up, I'd recommend wiping the drive and starting from scratch, but......... [06:57] can anyone offer some help with klogd? it is failing to run with the message "mkfifo: cannot create fifo '/var/run/klogd/kmsg" file exists [06:58] bobertdos: Oh yeah I've got everything backed up. [06:58] eh, no luck [06:58] ekow: I personally wouldn't involve gparted at all. I'd let Windows handle most of the partitions, including just leaving completely unallocated space for Ubuntu later. [06:59] gparted is awesome - why not? lol [06:59] Syco54645_AAO, try this. sudo mv -vi /var/run/klogd/kmsg{,.bkp} [07:00] friedtofu: In general, gparted is awesome, yes, but in this situation, I think it's just another variable he doesn't need right now. [07:00] bobertdos: That's what I did the first time... I was thinking I might try an alternative partition editor in Vista, the first time I just used the native disk manager [07:00] mellowd: 10.10.1.15 [07:00] the native disk manager resizer in vista doesnt allow much resizing... [07:00] unop: i was afraid to try tat, but i will, then i need to boot to my other kernel. i am thinking that it is just that i do not have the option enabled in the .config file for the kernel [07:00] is wubi-installer stable now? [07:00] im recommmending it to someone [07:00] Yeah that's true... it's lame [07:01] and when i used it a year ago it messed up my system [07:01] meoblast001: well i tried it on someone's computer - it worked [07:01] because klogd works fine on the generic ubuntu, but not on the one that i compiled myself [07:01] friedtofu: ok.. thanx [07:02] ekow: I confess to being a little outdated when it comes to this. I have never dual-booted with Vista. I actually wiped my Vista system completely and installed Ubuntu on it alone. Plus, I've also never worked with SATA drives. [07:03] im both helping a new user and trying to get a new user [07:03] meoblast001: wubi is stable enough to be official [07:03] What is the function of the Xorg process on my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer? (It consumes 2.3 %CPU according to top, by far the most of all processes.) [07:03] aw crap, I just messed up flash [07:04] bullgard4: xorg is what handles your GUI [07:04] what's the best way to install flash in ubuntu? [07:04] bullgard4, it's the X server .. handles your desktop applications [07:04] bullgard4: As well as HID stuff [07:04] bullgard4, and 2.3% is not so much to be honest. [07:04] WhoNeedszzz: In Hardy, probably just through the repos, version 9 revision 124 along with libflashsupport [07:04] bullgard4: Its likely the input stuff is whats causing it to be so high. Every keypress and mouse movement is an interrupt, etc. [07:04] Flannel: What does 'HID' stand for? [07:05] bullgard4: human interface device [07:05] anyone with a notebook with ENE Card Reader working in 8.04? [07:05] bullgard4, things like pointing devices, keyboards, etc [07:06] Flannel: I do no input: NO key press and no mouse movement. Still Xorg loads the CPU with 2.3% of its time. A static setup does not need to make the CPU work, I would think. [07:06] so what sort of options do I have for customizing the Gnome GUI? (or where can I read about it) [07:07] err well i got it working for youtube but when I try and watch a news video on wdsu.com it actually crashes firefox [07:07] as in, make it look fancier, similar to windows themes [07:07] WhoNeedszzz: 9 or 10? [07:07] bobertdos: Oh np, thanks for the help anyways, I'll keep trying [07:07] bullgard4: there's still a bit of polling and interprocess communication that goes on, yes. [07:07] unop: that didnt work, still hung at boot [07:08] naerys: GTK widget themes, window borders for Metacity and Emerald, and icon themes. All available at gnome-look.org. [07:08] Syco54645_AAO, any error messages at all? [07:08] cellofellow: thanks! [07:08] Flannel, unop: Thank you for comenting. [07:08] Flannel, unop: Thank you for commenting. [07:08] bobertdos: ah well it seemed to make it 10 by default [07:08] unop: nope, i disabled the ubuntu splash so when things were saying [ok] klogd just sat there [07:09] Syco54645_AAO, hmm, does the system boot up into recovery mode? [07:09] WhoNeedszzz: If you go into Firefox, what's listed under about:plugins? [07:09] unop: this is a custom kernel that i am booting. the system will eventually boot once it has timed out [07:09] bobertdos: ok i forced version 9 so now it just shows gray boxes [07:10] unop and then it works fine. i can either disable kernel logging (i dont want to) or fix this issue [07:10] Syco54645_AAO, errm ok .. do the default kernels boot up ok? [07:10] bu ti cannot figure out how to fix [07:10] unop: yes [07:10] I am trying to Install Ubuntu 8.04 on my system which is a Q9550+ASUS P5Q Deluxe (P45) motherboard, 8GB RAM. It won't install. Any advice would be helpfull, and I would like to know if there are any known issues with the Intel P45 chipset. Thank you [07:10] hi [07:11] i really need help.. something wrong is happening to my desktop [07:11] wolfman3k5: Are you sure you've got the 64-bit version? [07:11] Syco54645_AAO, have you checked the log files for any indication as to what might be wrong? /var/log/* [07:11] deakillo: VAGUE [07:11] Absolutely:) [07:11] unop: yes and i saw nothing out of the ordinary [07:11] its all blue color.. my desktop image disappear and when i try right click.. nothing happens :S [07:12] unop: i based this kernel off of the linpus install that was on here before. it did not have the klogd running, so i am thinking i missed something when compiling the kernel. [07:12] wolfman3k5: Hmm, how far do you get? [07:12] Syco54645_AAO, not sure then, troubleshooting this is beyond my abilities .. I would go back and scrutinise the log files a little harder - apart from that - i'm out of ideas [07:13] WhoNeedszzz: What is listed under about:plugins? [07:13] After I hit to install ubuntu, I get the Ubuntu Logo, and the bar moves a few times, and then I get a command line and that's it [07:13] File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [07:13] Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 [07:13] unop: fair enough. thanks for trying anyways, it was more than anyone else had one :D [07:13] is gksudo safe to use? it doesn't prompt me for a password when I click on it... [07:14] click on it? it s cli cmd [07:14] wolfman3k5: Is it a regular login prompt? Have you tried logging in as root? [07:14] <- confused [07:14] What airtonix said. [07:14] bobertdos: look up [07:14] I created a link on my desktop to "gksudo nautilus" - just have to double-click on it... no password is asked for... [07:14] WhoNeedszzz: Ah you're running a 64-bit system, yes? [07:15] nope [07:15] ckyle: have you entered a password in the near past? [07:15] dres: yes [07:15] hi can someone help me.. something very weird its going on with my desktop.. its all blue color.. my desktop image disappear and when i try right click.. nothing happens :S [07:15] no, it's actually unussual. I've installed Ubuntu before on a iMac and older systems, and everything went fine. Only on my brand new Workstation this seems to happen. I don't know why I should try to login as root, since I can't get it to install [07:15] WhoNeedszzz: Well then it's weird that flash would be in the wrapper. [07:15] Ah that would be why ckyle :) [07:16] bobertdos: ok then what is the best way to install it? Clearly I installed a retarded version [07:16] ckyle: that's why. don't run a sudo for 15 minutes or so and try again. [07:16] WhoNeedszzz: Did you install it from the repos or did you let Firefox do it itself? [07:17] bobertdos: repos. ff won't do it itself for some reason [07:17] bobertdos could it be that the kernel in Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't support the P45 chipset? [07:17] One more question, is there any way to install ubuntu with wubi with more than just 30 gb max? [07:17] nandemonai: is "gksudo nautilus" safe to use if I only use it for a couple of things then close? [07:17] ckyle: Yes, just be extremely careful [07:17] ckyle, Sure is just yeah be careful what you do. [07:17] dres, ckyle: you can also clear the password cache with "sudo -k" [07:18] WhoNeedszzz: Purge it, then look at about:plugins again for anything else that looks flash-like. [07:18] WhoNeedszzz: Go into a terminal and type sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree [07:19] 生病了 [07:19] how to add printer on win xp shared printer? [07:20] bobertdos: ok now what? [07:20] ckyle, could even change your launcher to something like 'gksudo nautilus && sudo -k' to clear password cache for better security if your worried aobut someone reopening the link when your afk etc. [07:20] !samba > mamoru_new_here [07:20] mamoru_new_here, please see my private message [07:20] someone having trouble with flash? i used this last night and it helped me get flash to work [07:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 [07:20] aye [07:21] WhoNeedszzz: Does about:plugins list any other versions of flash or gnash or anything like that?

So i open up " computer " off my ubuntu bar only to find out i cant find any of the games that where on F:\ drive in [07:27] windows , what am i missing here?

[08:22] yes, ubuntu is 32 [08:23] Guest1: perfectly normal then. you need a 64 bit version if you want to see the full 4GB in Ubuntu [08:23] i thought it might be that, but rethinking i know that xp reads 4gb of ram i think [08:23] Kate_Mins: Have you already added the user or not? [08:23] n [08:23] Guest1: You could always recompile the kernel with PAE support as well [08:23] Guest1: only if it, toom is x64 [08:23] is there a way to fix it? they told me not to install the 64bit version for various reasons... [08:23] Guest1: which reasons? [08:24] PAE sucks. Either put up with the memory hole or run amd64 [08:24] aye, PAE is one method, but certainly ont idea [08:24] 32 version being actually faster being that 64bit support is limited if not absent [08:24] not, ideal even.

Chances are you don't, so the 32 bit version will be fine [08:25] Kate_Mins: Alright. We'll be using adduser. [08:26] LSD}Ninj: thats what i though, 3gb are good, also because in the end vista of the 4 i have uses more than 2, ubuntu of the 3 uses less than one... [08:26] my webcam is working now thanks [08:26] so in the end it is actually better [08:26] flannel [08:26] Kate_Mins: easiest way is just: sudo adduser username, and then sudo adduser username admin [08:26] I just got ubuntu installed on my old Thinkpad - easier than breathing - I'm impressed.

[08:45] yeah it's a desktop with no wireless and on board nic [08:46] No ifconfig seems to think it's being used... but gkrellm and network tools say it doesn't exist [08:46] Kate_Mins: do visudo, and then make this the contents of that file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/42328/ [08:46] It's working fine I'm just curious how ubuntu handles this as I've NEVER seen a *nix box without eth0 [08:46] gu [08:46] jake_: do you have anything suspicious is in /etc/network/interfaces ?? you might have it renamed perhaps? [08:46] jake_: probably it is on eth1 [08:47] nice, finally my wifi card works for ubuntu :) [08:47] Hey guys, is deluge in the repos yet? [08:47] jake_: I've got a box that acts as a firewall and I've renamed the interfaces to int0 and ext0 [08:47] Lets go see [08:47] !info deluge-torrent | smmagic [08:47] smmagic: deluge-torrent (source: deluge-torrent): A Bittorrent client written in Python/PyGTK. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.8.9-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2329 kB, installed size 6572 kB [08:47] fair nuff, thanks [08:48] smmagic: Is that the right deluge? [08:48] indeed. [08:48] !info monsoon | smmagic [08:48] smmagic: Package monsoon does not exist in hardy [08:48] hmm [08:48] I've only recently found it annoying as iptraf doesn't support randomly named ethernet interfaces [08:48] transmission just doesnt really cut it Flannel [08:48] smmagic: I just use bittornado [08:48] cef: Everything looks ok to me. iface eth0 inet static [08:48] hmm at least I think it does [08:48] use the new Deluge 1.0 RC's on delugge's site [08:48] smmagic: deluge is better one [08:49] it shows awlh3028, but doesnt show an awlh3026 which is what mine is [08:49] you should try deluge now, its really good [08:49] has the address and gateway right [08:49] yeah [08:49] i think Deluge is at 1.0 RC7 now [08:49] smmagic: deluge-torrent.org [08:49] Also has auto eth0, could that be it? [08:49] jake_: what about 'route -n' ?? [08:49] auto lo [08:49] iface lo inet loopback [08:49] iface eth0 inet static [08:49] address 10.5.0.5 [08:49] netmask 255.0.0.0 [08:49] jake_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:49] gateway 10.5.0.1 [08:50] oops! [08:50] note to self... [08:50] hi .. anyone using irssi here ? [08:51] can anyone tell me how to get a middle click to show a window list in Gnome? [08:51] !anyone | vegombrei [08:51] vegombrei: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:51] can i boot ubuntu withou any boot loader [08:51] I need some help to get my usb wireless csrd thing to function. The device is a "Jensen Scandinavia 54 mbps" Ubuntu dont recognizxe it when i instaled the OS. Any program or trick i can try to use? [08:51] Flannel: how i can create new line using vim ? [08:51] devin, try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/42330/ [08:51] Kate_Mins: hit 'i' and you'll get to insert mode, and then you can just paste. [08:51] hey guys, a quick bit of help please [08:51] tampa.fl.us.undernet.org [08:52] oh man, ubuntu is so great these days. My printer installs itself :D! [08:52] sometimes my network applet dissapears from panel. kinda annoying is there any other way i can acess the network applet? [08:52] how can i configure samba to use ldap authentication without setting up a samba domain? [08:52] how do i get irssi to automatically connect to the freenode server identify my nick and join #ubuntu ? [08:53] so I have a wireless NIC, Airlink101. The ubuntu faq page shows support for airlink101 cards, awlh3028, and my card is awlh3026 (not listed) is it safe to assume that it uses the same drivers as the awlh3028 ? [08:53] smmagic: I can't agree, but that's cos we've got 2 samsung printers here at work and only ONE works with Ubuntu, while the other comes up with an error message in place of the printout. :/ [08:53] Flannel: ok done. :) what is the next step ? [08:53] jake_: any luck? [08:53] Kate_Mins: Alright, once you've saved that (escape, then :wq) [08:54] Kate_Mins: we need to add an admin group, and then add that user to the admin group. [08:54] I'm having a problem getting mpd to work. I have it and ncmpc install but after I run --create-db and do an update inside ncmpc I don't have any music under the browse category. I don't get any error or warnings either and there is nothing in the log files. [08:54] Flannel: ok done. [08:54] Everything in the command line acts the way I'd expect. But in the gui eth0 doesn't exist. Working, just baking my noodle is all. [08:54] Hi all, how do i check which kernel im using atm? [08:55] vegombrei: The startup-howto on irssi's webpage gives good instructions on how to edit your .irssi/config file to do what you want. [08:55] jake_: sounds like network-manager is just being goofy [08:55] yeah but that wouldn't explain gkrellm [08:55] shappie: uname -a [08:55] shappie, uname -a [08:55] ok ty :) [08:55] taishi28012: i did that bro .. /add server etc .. but it still doesnt connect to it at start up [08:55] anyone ? [08:55] Kate_Mins: admin will end up being a system group, so addgroup --system admin [08:55] Oh well I'm not going to worry about it. Just wondered if there was something I didn't know. [08:56] jake_: well.. if gkrellm decies it's going to get info from network-manager (eg: via dbus).. that'd explain it [08:56] Kate_Mins: and then adduser username admin [08:56] im using ubuntu hardy 8.04...can i install beryl in ubuntu? [08:56] jake_: actually, is dbus working properly? (no idea off the top of my head how to check.. but it seems the logical place to check next) [08:56] Flannel: working :) thanks alot [08:56] BunTai: beryl is old, we use compiz-fusion now, and you've already got it installed. [08:57] cef: I'll have a look [08:57] BunTai: for a configuration manager, install compizconfig-settings-manager or simple-ccsm [08:57] but i dont know how to use is mister Flannel [08:57] Its kind of weird Ati driver says it does not match the good kernel version... But as far as i know i got the most recent updates with kernel 2.6.24-19 [08:57] vinegaroon: http://dotfiles.org/~x1101/.irssi%2Fconfig is a good example config file. Just change the password and nick sections. [08:57] Flannel: i would like also to install FTP on my server . can you recommend me on good ftp software for ubuntu ? that will be easy to configure from the terminal ? [08:57] hmm [08:58] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager? [08:58] like that? [08:58] flannel? [08:58] BunTai: yep [08:58] thnx [08:58] Kate_Mins: Actually, I'd recommedn using sftp. It's more secure, and also easier to set up. Assuming you're connected via ssh, it's already set up (unless they've tweaked that as well) === lzy--_ is now known as lzy-- [08:58] im going to assume that it's safe to do so [08:59] flannel : ive got a newest version now.. [08:59] but i dont know how to use it [08:59] how to 3D IT [08:59] BunTai: alright, now go to System > Preferences > compiz config settings manager (or something like that) [09:00] OK [09:00] BunTai: and you'll see something that looks somewhat familiar, from what I understand [09:00] !apache2 [09:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about apache2 [09:00] !apache [09:00] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [09:00] how good is real player for linux? im lazy to download it lol.. its better than totem? [09:00] ok [09:00] thanks [09:00] Kate_Mins: if you 'really' need ftp (eg: need to serve files anonymously with FTP) then you probably want to use pure-ftpd or possibly vsftpd. Not sure which is better. [09:01] I need some help to get my usb wireless card thing to function. The device is a "Jensen Scandinavia 54 mbps" Ubuntu dont recognize it when i installed the OS. Any program or trick i can try to use? [09:01] cef, Kate_Mins: vsftpd is recommended: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [09:01] KingOfSofa: find out what chip it uses first [09:01] Wols_ how do i do that? [09:01] KingOfSofa: with lsusb and google [09:02] what profile should i choose? [09:02] flannel [09:02] lsubs dont say me anything [09:02] BunTai: I have no idea, I've never used it. Someone else here probably knows a lot more about it though. [09:02] ok [09:02] one more question [09:03] need help again. [09:03] im using acer aspire 4520 atheros wireless [09:03] how to setup it? [09:03] KingOfSofa: if it doesn't then ther eis no wlan stick [09:03] it make me confuse [09:03] !madwifi | BunTai [09:03] BunTai: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:03] owh [09:03] thnx [09:03] anyone please check what's the file permission for: /var/lib/mysql? mine= drwxr-xr-x 5 mysql mysql [09:05] drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql root 4096 2008-08-17 11:17 mysql [09:06] how do i know my wifi functioning? [09:06] * ex0r waits patiently in line [09:06] the icon wireless appears [09:06] but theres no wireless signal [09:06] how to test if env variable is set? [09:06] but im in wifi port.. [09:07] how do i know my wifi functioning? [09:08] cef [09:09] jake_: yes? [09:10] Pasted a link to a post [09:10] hmmm must work on my pasting skills apparently. [09:11] jake_: yeah I didn't see it either.. oops! [09:11] Anyway. It you open network-admin as a non sudo user and unlock it things start to work. Don't know if I'll have to do this everytime I boot the box. I suspect I will. [09:11] How to test if XGL is running or not? [09:11] wols_ this is what i get with the lsusb command. http://pastebin.com/m59cf77a2 [09:12] hi snafu [09:12] hi [09:12] jake_: ugh. yuk. very yuk. oh well, least you know it works at least. Was this the default user on the machine from install, or a new one? [09:12] here is the config I am using, http://dpaste.com/75192/ the second virtual host is not working. I dont know why. [09:12] hi rcy [09:12] hi farid [09:12] Only one user. Set myself up in the install [09:13] how are u?rcy [09:13] just did network-admin from the command line and bingo [09:13] Probably something to do with this prehistoric motherboard [09:13] farid: pretty good [09:13] wols_ this is what i get from the lsusb command. http://pastebin.com/m59cf77a2 [09:13] jake_: cool.. I ask simply because I thought perhaps the user wasn't added to a necessary group to do this sort of stuff. [09:14] lardarse hey thanks for your time and help, its working again [09:14] KingOfDos: just run 'lsusb' (without the quotes) [09:15] I'm have absolutely no idea what the deal is but it's not a huge thing. No worries [09:15] KingOfSofa: woops.. that was for you [09:15] rcy plz pm me [09:16] cef http://pastebin.com/m2c7cafeb [09:18] hello, if anyone remembers my problem from yesterday [09:18] wols_: see KingOfSofa 's msg to me above. [09:18] it seems that fglrxinfo gives me the output that I use the mesa driver?? [09:18] I'll go to the wiki of the ati driver [09:18] there was a fix there [09:18] hey [09:19] may i ask a question? [09:19] what is the best software for ubuntu for compressing data ? [09:19] hey gh0os7 [09:19] Gh0s7: ask or do not ask, there is no may. :P [09:19] hello , i try to install kde-4 in ubuntu with this code sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop but i get this eror , what should i do? [09:19] Gh0s7: i don't know, can you? [09:19] ;-) [09:19] i didnt say can [09:19] i said may i [09:19] so anyways [09:19] true [09:20] but who is to say whether you may or not? there're many here. [09:20] when i install ubuntu, i need to dual boot, so i already installed vista, so everytime my computer starts, will the grub interface show up so i can choose which partition i want to boot up? [09:20] karname: what error? [09:21] Ghos7: yep... [09:21] aight nice [09:21] that's what mine did [09:21] thas all [09:21] i have slack [09:21] but it uses LILO [09:21] so i didnt know if they worked the same or w.e [09:21] but thanks [09:21] so pce [09:21] I have an odd thing happening sometimes on widow resizing my windows oscillate wildly between sticking and not sticking. [09:21] just don't install Vista again... it doesn't play nice... then you have to go learn things about GRUB [09:23] Gh0s7: so I don't have problems, i have ubuntu on one drive and Vista on a second drive. That way if I need to re-install Vista, or something, I don't hose my Ubuntu... [09:23] i better get back here later === omar2 is now known as Omar87 [09:23] karname: you've been told to run it. don't you know how to run a command you are given? [09:23] danmn, kingofsofa is gone [09:24] I need some help with Phonon, it's refusing to play any audio. [09:26] hi all, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and I was building lustre from sources but the following error occurred http://paste.ubuntu.com/42339/ any help ? [09:26] scuser, looks like you'er missing kernel headers, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [09:27] Seveas: E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.22 ?? [09:28] anyone tell me what ubuntu uses to open .chm files? it has a console icon so im liek :O [09:28] Seveas: is the package name is correct ? [09:28] 2.6.22? You're on gutsy? [09:28] scuser, are you root? [09:28] Seveas: yes === e-jat is now known as fendora [09:28] doesnt build-essential pull down kernel sources as well? [09:28] * hateball cant remember [09:28] linux-headers-$(uname -r)-generic maybe [09:29] hateball, it does not. === fendora is now known as e-jat [09:29] linux headers are not essential for most packages [09:29] I updated my hardy install recently for the first time in a month or two, and now it won't get online. can someone help please? [09:30] does sftp has upload limit ? [09:30] dooglus, slightly more info please. Wired or wireless? link or no link? static or dhcp? dhcp failed? routes missing? gateway pingable? [09:30] hi how can i set to a samba user privileges ex. read but cannot write to a shared folder tnx [09:30] Seveas: both wired and wireless are broken now, but differently. wireless fails completely, and wired fails after 100 bytes of transfer or so. I'll boot into ubuntu to check the exact error. [09:31] Kate_Mins, the 'sftp' command does not have an option to limit transfer rate [09:31] Seveas: ah, I remember the problem - no wireless adaptor shows up when I 'iwconfig', whereas it used to [09:31] dooglus, 'fails completely' would be 'associating with accesspoint fails'? or 'scanning fails'? [09:32] dooglus, ah, broadcom chipset? [09:32] Seveas: no, 3945? [09:32] ipw3945 maybe? [09:32] dooglus, it looks like the kernel got upgraded without l-r-m. Once wired works again, install the 'linux' package [09:33] Seveas: rebooting now - soon I'll be able to give you proper details. getting wired to work isn't necessary - I have flash cards I can transfer .deb files with [09:33] Seveas: the wire's not convenient to plug in anyway [09:33] What is the best way to create static devices using udev? I want to create pty devices without a hack :) [09:33] Seveas: unless you think it would be easy to fix the wired interface? === e-jat is now known as fenris- [09:34] dooglus, wired is more convenient for doing the quick installs. It'll only be for a few minutes :) [09:34] Seveas: I'll go get the wire then too [09:34] I've just updated Amarok 2 today, but it stopped playing audios due to wrong version of codecs, where do I get the correct ones?? [09:34] dooglus, when the wired conenction doesn't work, run these commands and store the output on a flashcard so you can pastebin: [09:34] sudo mii-diag [09:34] ifconfig -a [09:34] route -n [09:34] Seveas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:34] FloodBot1, I love you too :p [09:34] how can i set priveles for a workgroup of samba users ? [09:36] I've just updated Amarok 2 today, but it stopped playing audios due to wrong version of codecs, where do I get the correct ones?? === sean is now known as Guest22105 [09:36] Omar87, if nobody in here answers, try #kubuntu [09:37] Seveas, but I'm using Gnome. [09:37] Omar87, amarok is a kde application though, #kubuntu people might know more (I for sure don't know the answer) [09:38] Seveas: are there any kernel versions to avoid? I have 2.6.24-19 through 2.6.20-16 [09:38] dooglus, they all worked fine for me with an 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [09:38] ok, I'll just use the newest I have then [09:38] dooglus, but go for the most recent and delete all kernels that are not 2.6.24 [09:39] this computer is going back to the manufacturer as soon as I can get my stuff off it, so it's not important to tidy it up [09:39] doh - great time to chose for a 'routine check', ubuntu! :) [09:40] dooglus, rofl, *always* at the most inconvenient time [09:40] *always* [09:40] hello: howto uninstall mysql and reinstall mysql in ubuntu ? [09:40] Seveas: if I 'ESC' out of it now, will it check again next time I boot? [09:40] dooglus, iirc yes [09:40] Happy, apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.0 mysql-client-5.0 [09:40] Happy: something like "sudo apt-get install -reinstall mysql" perhaps? [09:40] i wrongly deleted mysql.user [09:40] Happy, with the synaptic package manager.. why do you think remove/reinstalling it will help? use the PURGE option if you want to remvoe all configs also [09:41] ok [09:41] How to test if XGL is running or not? [09:41] Happy, ah, in that case it's probably best to purge (apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.0) and remove the /var/lib/mysql directory after backing up files that belong to databases you want to keep [09:42] Seveas: actually i only damaged /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.* [09:42] Seveas: i remember there is a way to install mysql default tables ? forgot what it is. [09:42] Happy, I'm not entirely sure but if you delete the /var/lib/mysql/mysql folder and restart mysql, it might just recreate those. [09:43] Happy, but please stop mysql now and back up /var/lib/mysql [09:43] Seveas: ok. i try ... [09:43] to avoid further damage :) [09:43] Does the fact that a DVD is encrypted can explain errors while reading the disk ? [09:43] Seveas: no worries. i just installed. nothing inside it yet [09:44] Happy, ok, then my previous advise holds. It's easier :) [09:44] hello , i have HCL pc of using RTL8168B ethernet card ., the light is glowing but when i put "mii-tool" --- it displays " no mii interface found : eth0 not supported" [09:44] ok back in a sec .seveas [09:44] Seveas: I don't believe this - the wired connection is downloading at a steady 300kB/s with no problems... [09:45] dooglus, well at least that's working now :) [09:45] Seveas: right. so now to the wireless... [09:45] I need a program to send a message to a windows client [09:45] dooglus, for good measure, apt-get update and apt-get distupgrade before apt-get install linux [09:45] I'm doing a dist-upgrade - maybe that'll fix it [09:46] hi what is the VNC server that runs in Ubuntu? [09:46] euthymos, vino [09:46] it'll take an hour or two I guess - it's been 2 months since I last used this machine [09:46] dooglus, heh, have some coffee :) [09:46] Seveas: client? [09:47] Seveas: the same? vino? and does it have a Win/Mac version? [09:47] I just found something pretty cool, if you have a multi-core/processors...do a make with the -j argument, it speeds up the compile big time. [09:47] anything here, to give me a program for sending messages via LAN to a windows client? [09:47] JeFFrY282 pidgeon [09:47] euthymos, vnc-viewer (old) or vinagre( shiny and new) [09:47] Seveas: how can I tell which interface the data is going on? [09:47] euthymos, any vnc client should be able to connect to vino [09:47] dooglus, iptraf, tcpdump or bwm. bwm is best for this purpose [09:47] apt-get install bwm :) [09:47] Seveas: oh, I see the 'RX bytes' in the ifconfig output - it's showing me that the wlan0 interface has RX's 138.2MB [09:48] hmmm, so it's the wireless that magically fixed itself, not the wired [09:48] Seveas: I was searching for a free, open source, interoperable VNC clien [09:48] Seveas: wired is still stuck at "RX bytes 12241" [09:48] Hmm.. Most vnc clients ive seen fit that bill. [09:48] AND SERVER [09:48] sorry, client and server [09:48] dooglus, looks like wireless is working then. examine the output of ifconfig and route to confirm [09:49] dooglus, route -n should say which interfaces are being used [09:49] hi [09:49] I tought Ubuntu's one might be also available for other platforms [09:49] Theres more vnc client/servers out then just the one built into ubuntus gnome. [09:49] Seveas: route -n shows 3 lines all with 'wlan0' in the Iface column [09:49] dooglus, then you're using wifi :) [09:49] dr_willis: such as? [09:50] euthymos, just looking in the package manager shows vnc4server, tightvnc, and proberly others.. time to hit google and the package manager [09:50] !find vncserver [09:50] Found: libvncserver-dev, libvncserver0, libvncserver0-dbg, tightvncserver [09:50] hello... i want to write a value to /proc (to set the writeback time) and i was wondering how i can make it so the changes are persistant event after a reboot [09:50] dr_willis: they're not for other platforms :( [09:50] euthymos, this is Ubuntu support, please don't expect us to know about other platforms :) [09:51] euthymos, err... you can use any vncclient to connect to about any vncserver.. reguarless of the os.. [09:51] ok [09:51] where should I go [09:51] euthymos, google :) === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 [09:51] I think some of them even have a java based vncclient you can use in a browser [09:51] dr_willis, yeah, those are evil :) [09:51] dr_willis: that's not the point. I'm searching for an open source VNC server/client couple that just works everywhere [09:51] thank you however [09:51] check the tightvnc, and vnc4servers homepages.. they may have windows ports.. Not sure what you really mean by 'other platforms' [09:51] Yo'! [09:52] windows, mac, linux [09:52] Somebody knows how to configure the NAT thing in Azuerus? [09:52] these are the platforms [09:52] euthymos, look for one done totally in java then I guess.. or .net [09:52] thank you however, bye [09:52] dr_willis thanks [09:52] dr_willis, is there a mac implementation of .net? [09:52] I have no idea of how to do it, and I can't finish installing Azureus if I don't configure that first [09:52] Seveas : i dont think so.. [09:53] Seveas, not a clue... i have learned to hate .net.. updated this vista box and it tool close to 20 min to just install the latest .net and NOW i have to reboot it. :) [09:53] ah, vista. Lovely os. [09:54] Seveas, yep.. been 'reinstalling' all day. [09:54] cernex, the only thing you have to do in Azureus is to choose a port. You'll have to open this port on your router then [09:54] CoolCubix, and how do I open the port in the reuter? [09:54] question: ventrillo in wine, is that possible. i can get it to run but when i try to talk it gives me an error message telling me i have an invalid mux set?\ [09:54] CoolCubix, I'm already on my homeportal, BTW [09:54] (It's a 2WIRE modem) [09:54] what is the local ip address of your router ? [09:55] I NEED TO KNOW IF SOME1 can help me to set privileges to a workgroup of samba users [09:55] CoolCubix, don't worry about it, I'm already on the homeportal [09:55] shukty, I dont know the specifics.. but the 'using samba book' in the samba doc package Im sure covers the proper settings in the smb.conf file for that. [09:55] yo yo yo === yacc__ is now known as yacc [09:56] okay, so you'll have to enter your router's settings and go to the page where you can "open" (or "route") ports [09:56] ok === zerwas_ is now known as zerwas [09:56] shukty: i can give you mine if you want, its not complicated. If you websearch round you can find some easy howtos [09:57] obviously, it must be the same port than the one you entered in azureus [09:58] CoolCubix: its sometimes called virtual server [09:59] CoolCubix: (is on my old dlink pos) [10:00] this is a novice question: How to share and then do a remote connection to a ubuntu 8.04 desktop using windows xp desktop [10:00] shankhs, on the ubuntu machine: system -> prefs -> remote desktop [10:00] shankhs, and on the windows machine you install a vnc client [10:00] A question: Can have my user account to run 'shutdown' or 'poweroff' without having to use sudo, and is this a bad idea to do ? [10:00] *Can I... [10:01] !vnc | shankhs [10:01] shankhs: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [10:01] henux, yes thats doable... [10:01] seveas : thanx [10:01] *How can I [10:01] henux, you can't. You can set up sudo not to ask for a password to do it. [10:01] Does someone know what I should do to enable encrypted DVD reading, apart from installing libdvdcss ? [10:01] henux, proper way would be to set up sudoers where the users can do it without a password.. but ya still gotta use sudo [10:01] henux: id leave them having to do sudo personally but you can tweak your system to allow users to reboot [10:01] CoolCubix, put a dvd in the dvd drive :) [10:01] k [10:01] CoolCubix, hey, just fixed it! Thanks! [10:02] cernex, you're welcome :) [10:02] Why I am asking this is because I am using Fluxbox and I would like to have a 'Shutdown' menu entry which calls 'poweroff' [10:02] henux, the 'bad' way would be to 'chmod +s ' the shutdown or poweroff command.. but then ANY USER can shut the machine down [10:02] Seveas, i'd be glad it would be the answer :) [10:02] * ActionParsnip applauds CoolCubix and cernex [10:02] henux, setting the 'suid' bit that way is considered very bad practice. [10:02] Eeeeh... thanks, I guess? :P [10:02] Ok, how can I then add poweroff to my Fluxbox menu? [10:02] do i have to configure vnc in windows to remote desktop my ubuntu [10:02] ? [10:03] lol [10:03] No, really, i'm getting "end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 218060" (this last number changes) every time I want to play a chapter of the DVD [10:03] shankhs, you have to tell vnc in windows where to connect to :) (ip address of the ubuntu machine) [10:03] henux, the 'best' way would be to make a menu entry that does the 'sudo poweroff' and set up no password needed for sudo for that command. and make a menu item that does it.. [10:03] shankhs: yes, you need to point it at the ip of the linux box === tm_work is now known as themoler [10:03] dr_willis: okay how can i setup sudo not to ask pwd when poweroffing? [10:03] The only one working is the introduction (with the legal warning) and the menu ; as soon as i click on something in the menu, it crashes [10:04] with other players, it doesn't even go to the introduction [10:04] henux, i would read some 'sudo' configfuration guides on that. I dont rember off hand. it will take a setting in the sudoers file and you want to be VERY VERY carefull with that file [10:04] CoolCubix, does it play in a "normal" dvd drive? [10:04] and, of course, i can't 'dd' it [10:04] Seveas, yes it does [10:05] henux, earlier today i was on the sudoers homepage. and it has the man page for sudoers in a nicely done html format thats easier to read then the sudoers man page. [10:05] k [10:05] my dvd drive has already wonderfully worked and has dd'd whole DVDs (but, they weren't encrypted) [10:09] Hey, got a question. [10:09] !ask | cynicality [10:09] cynicality: 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. :-) [10:09] celoue38@hotmail.fr [10:10] i upgraded to hardy heron and it seems as though any media file will not play as long as i have firefox 3.01 open. [10:10] henux: I set something like that up once using the sudoers file. here's what I used: [10:10] # chris can run dchroot as dapper on chrislap without authentication [10:10] chris chrislap = (dapper) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/dchroot [10:10] im having some wifi probs, after network manager asks for my key, it just sits there trying to connect and fails after a few mins, what can i do?? [10:11] Bodsda, enter the correct key? disable the mac filtering on the AP or allow this mac? [10:11] Seveas: fyi an interrupted 'routing disk check' will re-run on the next boot [10:12] dooglus, k, thanks for confirming :) [10:12] Seveas, correct key, no mac filtering, and this behaviour is the same even if i turn encryption off [10:12] gah pressed enter before finishing the question so here it goes again. -- i upgraded to hardy heron and it seems as though any media file will not play as long as i have firefox 3.01 open. any idea why? are there any bugs relating to this? [10:12] Seveas: back to the wired problem, it happened again. I'm not sure what triggers it, but it gets into a state where I can still 'ping' through the interface, but can't ssh or http through it [10:13] Seveas: I'm now rebooting into the updated kernel to see if that fixes it [10:13] Hey I am trying to organize a presentation to hold for free for anyone interested in my community to come and learn about LInux and install it on their computers and get CDs and stuff and if anyone would like to help brainstorm stuff or anything please send me a message [10:13] Joshooa: helps if you state what country you are in [10:13] cynicality, yes, it's called "flash is an annoying b*tard and pulseaudio breaks" [10:14] Seveas, any ideas why it wont connect? [10:14] cynicality, to stay in tune with your nick, I'm hoping that this improves in Intrepid since it's broken now... [10:14] Bodsda, nope [10:14] err i'm not talking about flash. i'm talking about avi files, .movs, .mpegs, .mp3, .wavs [10:14] cynicality: tried a different media player? [10:14] cynicality, that's the "pulseaudio" part :) [10:14] it works when firefox is closed. [10:15] i've tried several media players [10:15] ActionParsnip: Well I am in the US, but I don't expect to find people close to me, rather, I was seeking advice and ideas about how I should present Ubuntu to MY community, in a classroom environment, cause I don't think that by myself I could set up the best representation of Ubuntu to try and spread it in my community [10:15] cynicality: try a different player or choose alsa as the player [10:15] Joshooa: then you need to research [10:15] alsa? i'll try to get it from the distro and try again. [10:16] hello. does ubuntu support writing files to bluetooth devices (like mobile phones)? I managed to browse and read but not write :( [10:16] cynicality: dont forget to select it in sound prefs [10:16] ActionParsnip: Are you familiar with the meaning of Ubuntu? [10:16] Joshooa get in contact with a local LUG [10:16] Joshooa: yes its an african word meaning together [10:16] I can't mount/browse files on my camera with ubuntu: My camera (powershot a710is) is also a USB mass storage device. I uninstalled f-spot because i prefer to manually manage the files on my camera. If i pluged my camera in via USB i got asked if i wanted to upload photos with f-spot but answering yes either no results in nothing happening. It does not mount in /mnt or /media or appear in Places or my desktop. When the cam is plugged into another c [10:16] omputer it works fine as a usb drive. USB thumb drives also work fine on this ubuntu pc. [10:16] fluxy yes linux has a very good BT stack [10:17] Seveas, any ideas why it wont connect? [10:17] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I'm trying to not do this as a solo project, I am trying to work together with the community here because this isn't just a project for me [10:17] oops sorry Seveas [10:17] im having some wifi probs, after network manager asks for my key, it just sits there trying to connect and fails after a few mins, what can i do?? [10:17] ActionParsnip: And it means a lot more than together [10:17] koshar1: the thing is I am still unable to write files via bluetooth to my mobile phone (using nautilus) - I'm on Hardy [10:17] does alsa only play audo files or does it play video files as well? [10:18] Joshooa: Ubuntu, pronounced [ùbúntú], is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a traditional African concept [10:18] Rebecca_work we have exactly the same camera and it mounts fine? [10:18] ActionParsnip: Cool, you can google search and copy and paste, anyway..... [10:18] Joshooa: indeed [10:18] koshar1: do you use f-spot? [10:18] fluxy you need to push them and accept them on the remote device [10:18] Joshooa: what aspect of ubuntu to you want to highlight [10:18] Rebecca_work no just drag them out of nautilus [10:19] koshar1: hmmm.. i wonder why mine is failing.. it is the ubuntu eee distro so not entirely standard but pretty damn close.. [10:20] Rebecca_work check dmesg after plugging the camera in [10:20] ActionParsnip: I want to show people that there's an alternative to WIndows, and they don't have to use it just cause it came preloaded. But I want to show the differences between them, and why Open Source software is a better choice and to help them get it installed and be able to use it [10:20] ActionParsnip: Not just, "Here's a CD good luck" [10:21] Joshooa: its not necessarily better but you can highlight factors which make it a good option [10:21] Joshooa, there are presentations on the wiki. Alternatively, contact a LoCoteam nearby -- they might have some [10:21] koshar1: it allows me to transfer files one by one, by having to select the file then the device, without being able to choose the destination directory on the device. while this works, it is tiresome. i was thinking whether i could write the files directly in nautilus, as i would do for any ordinary directory. (as in windows *sic*) [10:21] Seveas: I like bwm; thanks for that. [10:21] Ok HMM this is odd... I am now able to run sudo shutdown from terminal without the password, but when I put "[exec] (Poweroff) {sudo shutdown -P now}" into my .fluxbox/menu, it does not work [10:22] Joshooa: id give them a disk and a pc and help them through it, let them make mistakes [10:22] koshar1: yeah, a couple of lines appear about a new usb device [10:22] henux, 'does not work'? [10:22] nothing happens [10:22] fluxy it doesnt work like that , its a different protocol than samba ect [10:22] Joshooa: then let them experience and use what they have made [10:22] when i click the menu entry [10:22] henux, pastebin your sudoers file [10:22] Seveas: do you know of something similar which keeps a record of cumulative data use? My ISP in the UK has a 3GB per month 'limit' but offers no tools to tell how much you've used [10:22] ok hold on please [10:22] dooglus, ntop perhaps? [10:23] koshar1: is it something to do with nautilus or with linux itself? [10:23] Rebecca_work gimme a min and i will check our dmesg if i can find the usb camle :-) [10:23] http://pastebin.com/d7b837677 [10:24] and running "sudo shutdown -P now" from CLI works fine without asking me my pwd [10:24] fluxy its more to do with obex [10:24] henux, make that: sudo /sbin/shutdown [10:24] in the flux menu [10:24] tried that [10:24] koshar1: ah ok. thx [10:24] to no avail [10:24] i will pastebin my flux menu hold on... [10:24] henux, and do 'sudo -k' in the terminal before testing [10:25] Seveas: looks promising, thanks [10:25] Seveas: what is -k? [10:25] koshar1: [17700.136398] usb 5-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 27 [10:25] [17700.295585] usb 5-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [10:25] henux, 'cause that last sudoers line is wrong and you didn't see that since sudo remembers authentications per terminal for 15 minutes :) [10:25] checking for GTK... configure: error: GTK+-2.8 is required to compile candido [10:25] -k drops all remembered authentications [10:25] whats the problem?

[11:40] no, I want to change root password, becouse Ill no longer be "root" at that server [11:40] BigNude: change root passwort = sudo passwd [11:40] so I want to change pasword and set other user to be able by root [11:41] what? [11:41] tony: did your wireless work before you messed around? [11:41] BigNude, yeah simpliest way would be to take yourself out of the admin group or something?

I think I might have flipped the kill switch on the front by accident, but it's just a switch! [11:41] ok, but the other user who is only sudo, cah he become root?

[11:46] tony: I´m in hardy [11:47] koshar2, its a fresh install, as in, i took out the cd and rebooted. [11:47] "When using sudo, the password is stored by default for 15 minutes.

[11:47] CyberLazi, you can use the -k switch when using sudo [11:47] BonezAU IIRC nvidia cards dont support multiple screens with the free driver , [11:48] but is it possible to change the default settings? [11:48] guido79 unlock them [11:48] tony: is your system up to date? [11:48] CyberLazi, the sudo page on ubuntu wiki doesnt tell you how to do this ? [11:48] koshar2 Works ! Thanks !!! [11:48] koshar2, I would have expected that the default behavior would be to just bring up 1 monitor, like a fresh install of windows... strange that I have to unplug one of the monitors completely? [11:49] not in the RootSudo [11:49] BonezAU i prolly agree but with regard to computers (any OS) i never assume [11:49] koshar2, ok so I will install the proprietory driver and see what happens [11:50] asho79>No, it's got about 115 updates. I just installed Hardy [11:50] BonezAU i take it it is a nvidia card? [11:50] koshar2, yes, 9600GT rev 161 / 512mb [11:50] BonezAU ok i think the prop drivers will do the trick for you [11:51] koshar2, do you recommend the ones in the repos or using something like envyng? or the actual nvidia driver? [11:51] BonezAU plus the nvid gui is a lot easier to config 2 screens than wrestling with the xorg file [11:51] BonezAU repo [11:52] koshar2, it says "nvidia_new" ENABLED, NOT IN USE [11:52] so its installed and enabled but not working?

[13:27] well I guess I can't use ubuntu now until there are graphics drivers that work for my card [13:27] Hi all. I hope it's the right channel to ask this... I have a Vista installed on my pc, and I've put an ubuntu on it. (Through a windows gui of the install cd) How can I access my windows files [13:27] ? [13:27] BonezAU: NS [13:27] BonezAU: just cause you can't manage to install them doesn't mean they don't work [13:27] *BS [13:27] ActionParsnip, ? [13:27] benzss: you can install synaptic on kubuntu [13:28] BernardB: wrong target, sorry [13:28] Oh, no problm [13:28] *problem [13:29] gnobert: there will be a folder (places?) where you can access them. Not file system, another one [13:30] I forget, I´m vista free now8-) [13:30] asho79: That's ok, but where can I find that folder? [13:30] vista breeds linux users [13:30] wols_, i'd appreciate it if you stopped treating me like a retard, I have been using linux for about 11 years and i've come across thousands of problems which i've been able to solve. This one I have spent about 12 hours in total working on, blowing away my partitions and re-installing numerous times [13:31] BonezAU: maybe its just too bleeding edge hardware [13:31] BonezAU: then stop acring like one [13:31] and i'm at the point now where i've been to just about every forum with the word nvidia in it and read most of the threads [13:31] Anyone know a desktop equiv to phpmyadmin? I know I can run it locally but it's hardly a perfect interface [13:31] is there any dvd cutter & converter for ubuntu [13:31] ActionParsnip: it's not [13:31] erUSUL, this is the output for your query http://pastebin.com/m43693114 [13:31] wols_, ActionParsnip the PC is about 2 months old, and yes the hardware is very new === krishna is now known as pal_ [13:32] BonezAU: maybe the linux support for that card isnt mature enough. Im not sure, wols_ says its fine [13:32] what is pulseaudio? [13:32] is there any dvd converter in ubuntu [13:32] ActionParsnip, a lot of threads on forums also say that others have been able to get their cards to work. I have followed their howtos etc but still can not get it to work. The card works fine in Vista. [13:33] Anybody with an idea, where can I find my vista files? [13:33] BonezAU: thats because drivers in windows are easy [13:33] BonezAU: and very supported [13:33] gnorbert: sudo fdisk -l [13:33] yeah I understand that... but even the drivers that Nvidia make and claim to work, won't. [13:33] !errors | BonezAU [13:33] BonezAU: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message [13:33] BonezAU: maybe you are doing it wrong [13:33] Right, I'm going to dump all of the old stuff off to another drive and hope Thunderbird can find something to import. [13:33] gnorbert: places>¨a random file name eg s30160DA3069 [13:33] wols: Thanks very much. [13:33] BonezAU: what's the hardware? [13:34] gnorbert: mont the ntfs partition [13:34] Oli``: http://www.ehow.com/how_2036644_import-sql-database.html [13:34] Oli``, Gigabyte M750SLI-DS4 mainboard, Nvidia 9600 GT 512mb, 4gb ddr3-1066 ram, 2x 500gb sata hdd etc [13:34] how-to properly configure G11 USB? I selected G15 with G15Daemon under System>Preferences>Keyboard and lost all media key functionality. xev does not detect scancodes anymore, but running lshal -m DOES detect the media keys. Any advice? [13:35] ActionParsnip, i've spent all up about 12 hours trying to fix it, as well as blowing away my installs and starting fresh. each time trying something slightly different. Seriously there is not that many different ways to install a gfx driver? [13:35] BonezAU: how do you think we should help you when you ignore the !errors factoid repeatedly? [13:35] is it better to use wicd or default net manager [13:35] !it doesn't work" is not a way to ask for help! [13:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:36] BonezAU: and which driver versions have you tried so far? any of the latest betas? nvidia are a bit hit and miss when it comes to specific model support. [13:36] wols_, if I had errors to give you then I would. Booting up and getting presented with a blank screen is not an error. I have already pastebinned my xorg log file. What more do you want? [13:36] BonezAU: a logfile when nvidia drivers are used [13:37] Oli``, 173.14.12, 173.08, and the ones in the ubuntu repos. EnvyNG complains that it can't detect the hardware [13:37] source for DVD ISOs? [13:37] or a show that you have actually nvidia driver files installed and loaded [13:37] BonezAU: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [13:37] wols_, an xorg log file? if so then that is what i have pasted. use the search function [13:37] corigo, releases.ubuntu.com [13:37] corigo: depends where you are from? [13:37] DVD [13:37] corigo: what country??? [13:37] hello [13:37] Vietnam [13:38] BonezAU: read again before you talk back [13:38] corigo: id get it via torrents [13:38] BonezAU: try the latest (177.70): http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118602 You'll need to download the right bin, kill GDM, run the bin as root then start gdm again. If it doesn't work at first, tell it to scrub your current xorg.conf and create what it thinks is best (it's an option at the end of the install process) [13:38] corigo: do you want 32bit or 64bit? [13:39] 64 [13:39] wols_, you said "a logfile when nvidia drivers are used". Specifically which log file are you referring to? [13:39] All I need is the MD5 [13:39] I have the ISO [13:39] BonezAU: there is only one. Xorg.0.log [13:39] Oli``, thanks I will try it [13:39] corigo: same place where you downloaded the ISO [13:39] corigo: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent === Administrator is now known as asdasdasdasd [13:40] I have a freshly installed Hardy, but grub is still installed (my last setup was dual boot). How do I disable grub?

Thanx anyway [13:41] wols_: lol, i was found that, it was great dpkg.log per month.. the history of dpkg.log last month is renamed dpkg.log.1.. [13:41] These are CD ISOs and I need DVD ISOs [13:41] wols_, ok so I will try again with the latest driver and paste my log again [13:41] sliverchair: edit your menu.lst and change the timeout value [13:41] Kelen: I told you: dpkg.log* [13:42] wols_: yeah, doing it now [13:43] wols_: it doesn't mean that. It means that the driver doesn't support the hardware. the repo and even the envy nvidia drivers just don't support some hardware that only the latest betas do. Just back off him a bit - you've been pointing the finger at him for the past five minutes and it's not helping anybody [13:43] Good day all [13:43] hi all [13:43] corigo: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/release/dvd/ubuntu-7.04-dvd-amd64.iso.torrent [13:43] wols_: okay, i should be more attention, anyway, thx a lot..

[13:45] i have top panel with expand unchecked and i cant put gdesklets clock in top right corner.. max it can go is below panel, but other windows i can put there... any idea? [13:46] croSmiley, it might be because expand is unchecked and the clock needs more room than is available. [13:47] corigo: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/release/dvd/ [13:47] bdunlap: you should just be able to connect it and plug cards in, should be fine [13:47] hello === amarillion is now known as amarBreak [13:47] ActionParsnip, it's built-in to the notebook.

[14:47] snakeacid: in fact some software may not work with 64 bit . flash used to not work for instance [14:47] monreal: maybe a little sed command line ?? like sed 's/quiet/noresume quiet/' /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:48] hehe... erUSUL: well the point would be to have this setting stick [14:48] monreal: check that that gives the sesired result and then change to "sudo sed -i ....." [14:48] <_blitz> snakeacid, the majority of programs available to you can't really even make use of 64 bit tech,.

[14:50] ckyle: i do not think so [14:50] julian__: i don't use Gnome or KDE so i don't know [14:50] leeping2008: this allows two things to have the same name, ie a system call and a command with the same name [14:50] sveri: : i don't use Gnome or KDE so i don't know [14:50] is it possible to use virtualbox from command line without gui to guest windows ? [14:50] julian__: i dont think it has something to do with kde or gnome, but thx anyway :-) [14:51] sveri: well you have to connect to the box somehow.. [14:51] sveri is this server visible to the internet? [14:51] that sucks. i'm going to look at the source and see if I can write a simple multithreaded tar.

[14:55] manually I mean with a clean-up program [14:55] smm289: see deborphan [14:55] smm289: it does a fairly good job, the packages you download are saved though, even avter uninstall [14:55] smm289: mostly. "sudo apt-get clean" from time to time [14:55] smm289: that's for debs. your only other real concerns might be dotfiles in /home/you [14:55] whats a dotfile [14:56] smm289: configuration files are kept for your programs (unless you "remove completely" or "purge"). That way if you remove a package and install it again later, it will keep your settings [14:56] smm289: yes, apt-get clean is good also for wiping out /var/cache/apt/archives [14:56] smm289: type this... cd ~ ; ls -a [14:56] sorry for this somewhat offtopic subject: [14:56] I am searching a good way to access my ubuntu box from windows vista.

[14:59] however for me to get it to work I had to pull the ISO image off of my ubuntu file server and copy it to my desktop [14:59] it would give me a permission error if I tried to mount it directly from the server location [14:59] the iso was placed on the server awhile back when I was using vista [15:00] I must access to a graphic application [15:00] dandre, xming is awesome [15:00] dandre, xming = free x server for windows [15:00] any ideas on what the permission error might be [15:01] ok I'll try it [15:01] dandre: look up a fish protocol client for windows [15:02] dandre: oh, need a gui app... fish wont do that sorry [15:02] xming will [15:02] Hey there, is there any way to get tabs in rxvt?

[15:57] xukun: just save ~/.thunderbird [15:57] tzolkin, you can extend your partition using the livecd (assuming you have extra space) [15:57] leeping2008: yes, you have to use a ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults file. urxvt's man page should tell you how to fill that in. Probably helpful to search for an example one of those files and edit [15:57] kercyr: yep but not waranties from me ;P [15:57] Thanks :) I will check that out [15:57] I actually do have an urxvt man page open [15:58] kercyr: my rt2500pci based cards worked fine on all versions [15:58] DIFH-iceroot, did that but it does not show the local folders after restoring the backup [15:58] OK! thank you joaopinto^_^ [15:58] I'm actually hoping for a USB adapter...

(partition inside the "free space" of another partition) [16:07] bravo7_: either way you get the same version now, I believe. you can add winehq repos if you want, then you will always have the latest version [16:07] erUSUL: I wanted to propose a new feature, or report a bug..depending on how you see it... I think you should be able to see for how long a meeting last in the applet, not only when it starts [16:07] leo_rockw how do i get the repos [16:07] bravo7_: they are in their page [16:08] askand: well in launchpad you should report bugs or whatever against the panel package. i supose the same aplies to the gnome bugtracker [16:09] Is there any way of creating hidden partition like truecrypt can do?

Could anyone help me building a script that changes grub splashimage everytime reboot ? [16:27] genius: oh yeah, very cpu intensive [16:27] genius: true the mapper mounts hard drive blocks.. but it reads its information from the partition table [16:28] [leo_rockw]: i think it's about building a script and putting a link in /etc/rcX.d where X is the level (0-shutdown, 6-reboot). but I have never known about making scripts (either don't know if the script is .py or .sh (I'm noob)). and maybe a randomly variable that would initialize another script to just change the actual splashimage to another randomly one [16:28] genius: you could rewrite the mapper to accept manual block ranges i suppose [16:28] Hey guys. Could anyone help me building a script that changes grub splashimage everytime reboot ?? [16:28] Kaya_Saouka, did you install ssh libraries + the ssh-dev libraries?

Could anyone help me building a script that changes grub splashimage everytime reboot ? [16:30] what_if: maybe if gangs with guns will ask if i have some sorts of information :) [16:30] CYberglO: .py is for python. Usual name for scripts is .sh, but extensions don't matter in GNU/Linux, that's a Windows thing [16:30] Kaya_Saouka, do you have the packages: libssh2-1 and libssh2-1-dev installed? [16:30] is there any know issues with the xen server packages for hardy that would explain why now that I've installed them, when my machine reboots all the time. I can't see anything obvious in hte log files, but every couple of minutes it dies [16:31] I've not even managed to create a guest os image yet as it keeps dying [16:31] [leo_rockw]: all right. and you know how to put a randomly variable that would take an int, 1..5 ? [16:31] line in C: x=random(5) // x can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. [16:31] [leo_rockw]: ?

[19:09] The_Soup: out of curiosity, can you go to one of those directories in a termainal and do 'ls -lQ' and paste a line here for one of the files that won't open? [19:09] tamer [19:09] tamer: you can install vmware [19:09] Chlorate, I'm at a loss too ive tried blacklisting ehci_hcd putting it in session even rc.local [19:09] there's a command line in ubuntu [19:09] if that's what you want [19:09] To be honest, installing openoffice was harder than that.. === tsudot_ is now known as tsudot [19:10] tamer: why do you want to install DOS? [19:10] think he probably wanted a dos emulator [19:10] strange.. says i'm still connected.. had to change my name for a minute [19:11] we'll see how long we stay connected without encryption === lmartin92__ is now known as lmartin92isAFK [19:11] what was the last msg [19:11] ??

[19:12] Chlorate: you can also run a command that way by hitting Alt-F2 and typing the command. [19:13] What can I do if Brasero segfaulted ? Is there something I can report to launchpad ? [19:13] iMatter: Yeah I figured you did. I didn't expect it to run either. [19:13] Ahmed-Alaa:correct driver installed ?

But each time we reboot we have to type it out, and we want to automate it at boot. If that makes any sense [19:14] The_Soup: ok. nothing funny there. what happens when you type this(in the same directory): 'file angelbeta1.png' [19:14] Frol: The answer is yes. [19:14] may i install an antivirus with ubuntu [19:14] Chlorate, try appending & to the end of any terminal command your wanting to run [19:14] Chlorate: ah.

And it didn't work. :\ [19:16] got it [19:16] The_Soup: as far as i know, the fact that they're owned by root shouldn't matter. [19:16] hello, folks; I've got a weird problem that just popped up a week ago. (Using Hardy) In Nautilus, when I double-click on an image, EOG opens up and takes focus normally -- except when the EOG window is the width of the screen, at which point it hides itself behind my Nautilus window. [19:16] IdleOne: yeah but the only machine which can be infected is the windows one [19:17] whenever i open system > administration > login window prefrences the program shuts down right after why is this happening [19:17] Chlorate, is the command a one liner? [19:17] nothing [19:17] Frol: if that is ok with you then.... [19:17] sorry for the joins/parts (am troubleshooting using a livecd, and this channel is autojoin). hopefully, this will not happen again. [19:17] airtonix: Yes. [19:17] Ahmed-Alaa:done ? sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk && sudo displayconfig-gtk [19:17] Chlorate, can you paste it here please [19:17] airtonix, it is but it needs to be run with root privaleges [19:17] for anyone else who are searching the same here is where u can find it http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=gtk-builder-convert+show:RcpZ1zZLT6Q:ywujEqwPIdA:RcpZ1zZLT6Q&sa=N&cd=1&ct=rc&cs_p=http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gtk+/trunk&cs_f=gtk/gtk-builder-convert#l19 === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [19:17] airtonix, sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd [19:17] Chlorate, well then prefix the command with gksudo [19:18] Errors were encountered while processing: [19:18] nvidia-glx-new [19:18] tes [19:18] Chlorate, like this : gksudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd [19:18] just did it again, even without encryption...

[19:18] had to refresh my connections [19:18] airtonix, Okay. Should I now reboot and see if it works? [19:18] gui ? [19:18] all i need to do is to be able to logon to a gui root session [19:18] mykrobinson1: what happened?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:19] Chlorate, sudo will only prompt you for password if your in the terminal, gksudo does more and makes sure things are setup for x to interact properly with priveldges [19:19] Is there an eggtimer type applet for the Gnome panel? [19:19] The_Soup: but when you click on other mp3s they get opened with the right app? [19:19] what is an .amr file? what does it play in/on? how do i convert videos downloaded from youtube into an .amr file? what software would i use to convert .amr files? [19:19] IdleOne: -truc + true [19:19] Frol: untrue. it is the resposibility of all web users to protect themself and each other [19:19] yes [19:19] hello [19:19] musikgoat: my intel 3954abg wifi keeps dropping connection [19:19] oh, that's interesting... I also encounter this pop-under problem with Firefox windows at fullscreen, but not with Evince. It's pretty variable. [19:19] airtonix, i tried that the gksu prompt doesn't even appear [19:19] Ab3L: hello! Welcome to #ubuntu ! [19:19] So... anytime i play video in ubuntu it blinks a lot. Like itll blink over all the windows, then go black, then jump back to the image. the osund is perfect but the video is very.......useless. anybody have any idea what could be doing this? [19:19] Ahmed-Alaa: sudo displayconfig-gtk ,can you find/set your monitor in the GUI ? [19:19] Chlorate, you can also put a switch in there so sudo immeaditly forgets your 'sudo session' which normally timesout after 15minutes without any further activity [19:19] Mat1: Why do you need to log in to a GUI with root? [19:20] airtonix, Chlorate: `sudo -k` [19:20] hlfshell: what program are you using to view videos? Just the usual totem? [19:20] hlfshell: using vlc ? [19:20] mykrobinson1: does it only happen in ubuntu? are you dual booting? [19:20] Flannel, does that also apply to gksudo? [19:20] Frol: I don't feel like getting into a flame war over what a true OS is. just that Windows does what windows does and Linux does what linux does. both are good and bad at different things. [19:20] totem now, i also have mplayer and vlc on the computer [19:20] I am not able to use aplay when playing any other music player. Any solution? [19:20] vlc recently stopped being able to view videos. [19:20] prince_jammys i've found another image viewer (gliv) and it works, but i cant see the thumbs [19:20] mykrobinson1: what encryption where you using, and what is your router broadcasting, G? [19:20] hi, wat is th theme manager package name? [19:20] Hello [19:20] airtonix, Flannel: Well. I'm pretty newb. So what should my command be then if it's currently gksudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd [19:20] hlfshell: do you have the same problem in other video players? [19:20] im trying to move a file from my home folder to a folder owned by root [19:20] Hello. I'm getting a lot of flash videos having gray boxes where the video would be. But if I restart the browser, sometimes it will fix it. What's up with that? [19:20] (besides VVLC, hich doesn't work?) [19:20] let me open up mplayer - one sec [19:21] can i access the X window clipboard from the command-line? can i build a script that runs firefox with a URL taken from the current contents of the clipboard? [19:21] airtonix: I believe you just alt-f2 and then sudo -k, but I can't test that. Perhaps you could? you might have to gksu -k [19:21] is it possible to get a dvd player to work.. just as well on ubuntu as on XP? [19:21] I am not able to use aplay when playing any other music player. Any solution? [19:21] thanks all [19:21] would someone lend me an ear? [19:21] musikgoat: right now, i have the encryption disabled for testing.. The router is running A,B, and G, set for auto [19:21] its a linksys wrt110 [19:21] yes. [19:21] !ask | dennis_ [19:21] bonez45: Do you have the decss codecs installed? [19:21] yes i do. it happens in mplayer too [19:21] dennis_: 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. :-) [19:21] mykrobinson1: so what are you connecting to, a, b, or g? [19:21] helo, I need some help with installing Ubuntu 8.04 on my workstation. Hardware cfg. is as follows: 8GB DDR2 800, ASUS P5Q Deluxe mobo (Intel P45) with Intel Q9550 CPU, 500GB hdd for Ubuntu, LiteOn DVD Burner. When I try to install Ubuntu 64bit it starts the installer, and then it shows me "Bussy box". Any ideas or help? Thank you. [19:21] Hello [19:21] mykrobinson1: if its A, I may suggest forcing G [19:21] Flannel, Chlorate : i just looked at the quick help and it seems the gksu proggy uses -k for something else [19:21] RyanPrior: yeah, I believe I do... [19:22] how to rotate gnome desktop by 90 degree? [19:22] how can i tell what i am currently connecting to? === Mr is now known as Guest82807 [19:22] RyanPrior: I insert and load up a pink floyd concert dvd.. and it goes to some odd parts of the menu, but no menu shows up on screen, as it does if I play it in xp [19:22] Chlorate, if the gksu isnt being presented when your using that sessions interface to auto start your script, then you may have to look into using runlevels [19:22] bonez45: In that case, I suggest using the Ogle DVD player. It's much better than stock Totem. [19:22] mykrobinson1: right click on network manager and go to connection information [19:22] spsneo: you can only do it with certain video cards; what do you have? [19:22] The_Soup: I don't have nautilus installed to test this. maybe someone in the channel knows. mention that there's nothing funny about the file name, and that the 'file' command recognizes it as a png image. [19:22] mykrobinson1: sorry, i'm not in ubuntu now to help === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [19:23] ogle dvd.. eh? [19:23] I need help with tty1 - tty6 [19:23] airtonix, How does that work then? [19:23] helo, I need some help with installing Ubuntu 8.04 on my workstation. Hardware cfg. is as follows: 8GB DDR2 800, ASUS P5Q Deluxe mobo (Intel P45) with Intel Q9550 CPU, 500GB hdd for Ubuntu, LiteOn DVD Burner. When I try to install Ubuntu 64bit it starts the installer, and then it shows me "Bussy box". Any ideas or help? Thank you. [19:23] dropped again... [19:23] thanks prince_jammys :D [19:23] !repeat | wolfman3k5 [19:23] wolfman3k5: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[19:23] the router options are B,G, and N.. I think i will turn off the N settings just in case [19:23] so in windows vista it rotates by default [19:23] wolfman3k5: I was thinking about and typing my answer as you reposted - please give people time to address your questions. :-) [19:23] ncfi1013_ google it [19:24] Mat1: A single file? [19:24] the shutdown and restart options disapeared only log out option and others exist can anyone tell me how to fix that [19:24] spsneo: I've had trouble getting it to work reliably. Once nVidia supports the new XRandR 1.2, it'll be a snap... [19:24] yes a single file [19:24] Chlorate, or i think you can create a rc file in your home folder that will run commands in it when your desktop loads [19:24] there is nothing wrong with my hardware, and I tested it. I build computers for a living. Plus, openSUSE and Fedora work fine, but I don't like neither of those. I would like to use Ubuntu on my system [19:24] Mat1: Which file, if you don't mind me asking? [19:25] wolfman3k5: Do you get to the initial boot menu of the CD? [19:25] the shutdown and restart options disapeared only log out option and others exist can anyone tell me how to fix that [19:25] what is /usr/bin/mono? [19:25] wolfman3k5: Alright, that gives us a much better starting point. When asking for help, it saves time to explain things you have already tried. [19:25] mykrobinson1: ahh, yeah you can try that, but i don't think that will fix it, if your nic doesn't support N anyways [19:25] airtonix, hmm explain? i have the same problem too [19:25] heres the path to it: /home/champ/Documents/cgihttpserver.py [19:25] spsneo: for now, though, you can put it into the 'Device' section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. [19:25] tamer: most likely a permissions issue [19:25] hello fellows [19:25] Yes, the CD boots fine, installer starts and then I get Bussybox with a promt. [19:25] where i can fix that [19:25] spsneo: it's just one line, Option "RandRRotation" "true" [19:25] iMatter, Chlorate : one sec, verifying [19:25] wolfman3k5: Does the LiveCD x64 start? How about the 32-bit LiveCD? [19:26] !info amrnb | ncfi1013_ [19:26] ncfi1013_: Package amrnb does not exist in hardy [19:26] airtonix, iMatter: Yeah we're both stuck. [19:26] pdaous4: I 'll try [19:26] haven't tried either of those [19:26] RyanPrior: thank you so very much... it works great.. loaded the disc right up...! [19:26] wolfman3k5: Alright, try the penultimate option from the boot menu, checking the CD for defects (or verify CD integrity) [19:26] Chlorate, ive been doing that ehci thing for months... [19:26] my ati 9200 se 64 mb 4x agp graphx card spins [19:26] tamer: did you create a new account recently? [19:26] spsneo: then when your X server is running, try 'xrandr -o left' from the command line. [19:26] damn.. I love linux... and this is why..! [19:26] bonez45: Yeah, Ogle is a nice piece of software. [19:26] yes [19:26] same CD installs fine on my iMac [19:26] ncfi1013_: apparently something called amrnb, available in the medibuntu repositories, can open those. [19:26] Mat1: You shouldn't need sudo something to move it to your own home folder [19:26] pdaous4: sure [19:26] thanks [19:26] iMatter: You serious? Oh god. I'm so sorry. I hope we get this fixed. [19:26] spsneo: or, alternatively, 'xrandr -o right' -- if that's the direction you want to turn it :-) [19:27] wolfman3k5: This is the desktop CD right? Have you tried the alternate CD? [19:27] Chlorate, yep im serious the transfer rates are even more killer 856kb/s -> 1MB/s.... [19:27] Flannel, you want to move the file to a directory owned by root in your home directory? [19:27] what is /usr/bin/mono? when i log in it tells me /usr/bin/mono needs a password; it didnt use to do this :\ [19:27] i tried some enprovement for my drivers but it did not work, like i imagined [19:27] is there any webcam compatible with ubuntu? [19:27] tamer: go to "users and groups" settings and go to user privileges [19:27] unop: I don't. [19:27] Chlorate, imagine backing up 19GB.... [19:27] but cgihttpserver nedes to go into /cgihome [19:27] Flannel, sorry, that was meant for Mat1 [19:27] dannyboy20: Logitech cameras are usually a safe bet. [19:27] dannyboy20: Logitechs [19:27] yes, it's desktop. Haven't tried alternate, because I would like a GUI installer [19:27] ok thanks [19:27] in openssh, I don't seem to be able to set password authentication [19:27] It's yes by default, so I commented it out - doesn't that set it to it's default value? [19:27] also, how do I enforce keybased authentication - so that they have to have my pubkey to log in? [19:27] Chlorate, let alone putting the files back where they where... [19:27] Mat1, you want to move the file to a directory owned by root in your home directory? [19:28] iMatter, Oh wow I just use little things for my flash drives. [19:28] my firefox is scrolling extremly slow [19:28] since that action [19:28] any specific model? [19:28] Mat1, hmm, that's an odd directory -- but you need sudo [19:28] and i didnt backed up [19:28] wolfman3k5: Try booting the LiveCD desktop - if it boots successfully, you can start the installer from there. [19:28] Chlorate, it takes around 20+ mins to put 1GB onto the thing [19:28] know well the path to the folder in witch the file must go in is /cgihome/server [19:28] soooo... anybody know why windows are coming up behind my Nautilus windows, rather than acquiring focus and coming to the front like they should? It only happens when a window spans the width of the screen. And it happens with EOG and Firefox windows, but not Evince. Weird, eh? [19:28] iMatter, Chlorate : have you looked at using the prog : boot-up-manager ? sudo apt-get install bum [19:28] !enter | dennis_ [19:28] dennis_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:28] airtonix, i have bum [19:29] Mat1, sudo mv thatfile /cgihome/server # then [19:29] airtonix, neever tthought about that... [19:29] unop its a simple web server i made [19:29] iMatter, Chlorate : gksudo bum [19:29] ok. googled my mobo and ubuntu, and others are having similar problems. It's a kernel thing. Any way I can swap out the kernel for another one? [19:29] dammit... its doing it more frequently now.. [19:29] then what [19:29] like from Intrepid? [19:29] can anyone recommend a good usb wifi? [19:29] airtonix, iMatter: What's that? [19:29] what i want to do is download some videos off youtube and convert them into .amr files so they can be played on my wife's phone. what software, if any, does this? [19:29] iMatter, Chlorate : ok that only controls already present scripts and runlevels [19:29] wolfman3k5: the alternate CD is still fairly GUI. You just navigate the menu entries with the keyboard instead of the mouse. They ask identical questions. I only suggest it, because we can spend X time fixing this (which likely won't have any relevance to the installed system), or just install with the alternate CD (which will likely work fine) and then use the computer [19:29] which key else [19:29] irc newbie [19:29] airtonix, i thought that.... [19:29] wolfman3k5: You can do that, yes. You'll need another computer that can boot Ubuntu, and you can use that computer to remaster an ISO with a different kernel. === pascal is now known as kamelancien458 [19:29] dennis_: its a period ;) [19:30] Hold on a second booting winddows in VMware..

[19:31] natnayr, why are you installing an RPM? [19:31] airtonix, ok [19:31] Hello. I'm getting a lot of flash videos having gray boxes where the video would be. But if I restart the browser, sometimes it will fix it. What's up with that? === Stefa_Velicanstv is now known as Stefa_The_Great [19:31] I preffer one distro that is good at one thing (Ubuntu desktop edition) than one that can do everything, but isn't really good at anything.... [19:31] i can't find shutdown or restart options it is dissapear [19:31] natnayr, what app is this? [19:31] natnayr, what are you trying to install? what is the output of ls -l /bin/sh? [19:31] unop: yes, im installing a print driver [19:31] thanks ryan [19:32] natnayr, with alien or rpm? [19:32] natnayr: what command/application are you using to install it? [19:32] natnayr: RPMs are for SuSE, Redhat [19:32] dannyboy20: http://www.quickcamteam.net/hcl/linux/logitech-webcams anything in ther green part of this list and you should be set [19:32] tamer: try adding the Administer the System permission [19:32] iMatter, Chlorate : it seems that you will need to put your command in a script and call that script form the sessions gui [19:32] natnayr: The people dont have a deb you can download? [19:32] ic, so what can i use for a network printer [19:32] airtonix.....ounds hard [19:32] wolfman3k5: Debian is a distro that can do anything, but is only really good at things if you are an expert at configuration. The Ubuntu team basically configures Debian for maximal desktop enjoyment. :-) [19:32] iMatter, Chlorate : first line of your script will be : #!/bin/bash [19:33] its a Fuji_Xerox-DocuPrint_C525_A_AP-1.0-1.i386 [19:33] I am very confortable with the command line, but we are in 2008, 21st century, and I think that on the desktop the GUI should prevail [19:33] iMatter, Chlorate : second line of the script will be your command [19:33] wolfman3k5: the alternate CD installs the same system as the desktop CD [19:33] #!/bin/sh should be the first ine [19:33] do u mean local administrator login ? [19:33] not /bash [19:33] is ubuntu the most user friendly version of linux? [19:33] iMatter, Chlorate : save it in your home folder somewhere and call taht script from the sessions gui [19:33] it just asks me to install the package they gave me [19:33] Flannel: He has determined that the problem is the kernel, rather than the installer. [19:33] hi ubuntu users [19:34] You should use standard shell ops, not bash specific opts (99% are the same anyway) [19:34] Cpudan80, #!/bin/bash forces the script to be run under bash [19:34] Justi1: yes [19:34] Cpudan80, sh and bash are supported [19:34] it was there and now disapeared [19:34] !who | tamer [19:34] tamer: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:34] airtonix, Alright. I think I got it? [19:34] unop: hrm... I guess it doesn't matter for ubuntu [19:34] !best | Justi1 [19:34] Justi1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:34] Cpudan80, there's nothing wrong with mandating bash [19:34] tamer: the Administer the System option?? [19:34] so how do i fix the /bin/sh? [19:34] unop: I usually program for cross envs [19:34] I know that, I've been a linux user since 1997, and sometimes I took a break on the desktop, but whe I look at the SUSE install DVD options, and at the fact that it's more retarded than it used to be, like it can't even install GRUB where I want it to, I get a headache. [19:34] natnayr, what is the output of ls -l /bin/sh? [19:34] Justi1: While it is a matter of opinion, and I do not use Ubuntu daily, I would say yes. [19:34] airtonix, do we need to put sudo in the front of the command or just leave it as modprobe -r ehci_hcd [19:34] !tab [19:34] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

My gosh, this channel is moving too fast. I'll get you the rest in a sec. [19:35] iMatter: generally you would the script as sudo, not the lines in it [19:35] I used to use RedHat, and Fedora, but since they decided to make and 100% experimental distro out of it, and constantly breaks, I don't want to use it anymore.

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [19:35] Justi1: Ubuntu has often been praised for user friendliness, but other distros which pride themselves on easy user experience include Linspire, Mandriva, and Mepis. For more discussion, feel free to join #ubuntu-offtopic :-) [19:35] Cpudan80, if /bin/sh is a link to /bin/sh i.e. [19:35] so Ubuntu is my only choice now [19:36] Cpudan80, err, /bin/bash i mean [19:36] will those wireless cards you get from cell phone providers work with ubuntu? [19:36] iMatter: although either way will really work -- you'll just get prompted during execution [19:36] i'm new to linux period [19:36] kevinO, many do [19:36] and i just decided to try ubuntu [19:36] since i'm really sick of vista [19:36] lol [19:36] Mandriva, uhm, it's like a Renault:D [19:36] isn't this the same thing as just putting gksudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd directly in the session thing?

[19:37] im trying to install RPM package file [19:37] Justi1, i think XP is the most stable of them all [19:37] dmoerner, is there an app for them? [19:37] wolfman3k5, RyanPrior: not having paid attention, if its a kernel issue with 8.04.1, you could try either the minimal CD, or if you can round up 8.04 instead of 8.04.1, that'll have a different kernel version. [19:37] Ubuntu seemed to me the closest to Mac OS X in terms of quality [19:37] natnayr, how are you installing this RPM ? [19:37] natnayr, exactly..? [19:37] airtronix, So I made a file, called it from the sessions gui, put in the commands, and put it in my /home/ folder. Am I all set? [19:37] ncfi1013_: what sort of file did you say you wanted to convert it to? [19:37] wolfman3k5: you can even theme ubuntu to look like OS X :-) [19:37] kevinO, they are handled out of the box by nm 0.7 in intrepid, but require a bit more setting up in hardy [19:37] airtonix, so move this to /etc/init.d ? [19:37] unop: it's a secret. [19:37] is 8.04.1 a new release, like a minor bug fix release or something? [19:37] kevinO: you want to find out what card you will be using, what band it uses (evdo or cdma or something) then go from there [19:37] unop: Using rpm -Uvh Fuji_Xerox-DocuPrint_C525_A_AP-x.x-1.i386.rpm [19:37] !alien > natnayr [19:37] musikgoat, thanks [19:37] natnayr, please see my private message [19:38] can you plz tell me why should i apply extra visual effects [19:38] dmoerner, thanks [19:38] iMatter, trymaking the script file and putting in your homefolder first. use the session gui to call that script in your home folder [19:38] rohit: to impress your friends and make them want Linux :-) [19:38] wolfman3k5: Sort of. Yeah, it rolls up the package fixes (and any installer bugs) found in the first few months. There'll be 8.04.2 (and .3 etc) every sixmonths (.2 comes out in January) [19:38] no thanks, I got Macs here, and I'm sick of OS X. Most people copy the wrong things from OS X anyway. They should coppy the polish and user friendliness, not looks [19:38] ??? [19:38] rohit: You should not apply extra effects unless you like them. [19:38] natnayr: ideally, find a debian package (.deb) instead of installing rpms. if you do install an rpm, use alien as described in the private message. [19:38] Hello. I'm getting a lot of flash videos having gray boxes where the video would be. But if I restart the browser, sometimes it will fix it. What's up with that? [19:38] iMatter, Chlorate : this page on the forums is related to your situation : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678870 [19:38] but i have already using them [19:38] but [19:39] rohit: I also find it makes a window easier to distinguish from its background if it has a nice shadow around it. That's the big reason I apply effects. [19:39] unop: thanks, i understand now, so how do i use alien? [19:39] wolfman3k5: It basically makes the CD have most of the packages you'd be downloading from the repos. It's a "release" only in terms of the installer. [19:39] after installing updates i cant apply them [19:39] where can I get the latest ISO of 8.04.X, it might fix the install issue that I have [19:39] musikgoat, dmoerner is there a list of known compatibles? [19:39] i know wwhich one i want [19:39] iMatter, Chlorate : although that page is a bit advanced for your current level of familiarity at the moment [19:39] WhoNeedszz1: just to let you know, you're not totally being ignored... I would help, but I haven't a clue. Was it working before? [19:39] !enter | rohit [19:39] rohit: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:39] wolfman3k5: There is no rolling release, I don't believe. But the minimal CD downloads *all* the packages from the internet, and that'll be your best bet. [19:39] so im trying to upgrade opera to 9.52 from 9.51 from a .deb file, but when i click install package, it tells me another synaptics program is open, but it isnt! [19:39] in openssh, I don't seem to be able to set password authentication [19:39] It's yes by default, so I commented it out - doesn't that set it to it's default value? [19:39] ok sorry [19:39] wolfman3k5: That'll give you up to date packages every single time. [19:39] also, how do I enforce keybased authentication - so that they have to have my pubkey to log in? === WhoNeedszz1 is now known as WhoNeedszzz [19:40] airtonix, iMatter: This whole conversation has been a bit too advanced for my level of familiarity!

[19:40] ok, where do I need to look for that? [19:40] Zopiac: do you have update-manager running? or apt-get or aptitude or adept? [19:40] !minimal | wolfman3k5 [19:40] wolfman3k5: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:40] rohit: hm, that's weird. What sort of video card do you have?

I need a new GFX card, but would like to be sure that it's supported ('cause my current nVidia 9500GT isn't). Can you recommend any model? [19:42] kevinO: i'm not seeing any definitive lists [19:42] myk_robinson: permanentlyu or temporarily? [19:42] rohit: okay, so it looks like you have an nVidia card. If you could go to the terminal and type in the command 'glxgears' -- does anything happen? You should get a black window with some gears rotating in it [19:42] ok thanks anyway musikgoat [19:42] temp for now, just wanna see if that improves my wifi situation [19:42] kevinO: I would suggest finding out the card name and googling that card and ubuntu [19:42] WhoNeedszzz: so it was working in LinuxMint for a while, then it stopped? [19:42] good idea thanks [19:43] jmichelsen_? [19:43] WhoNeedszzz: do other videos work? I just wonder if it's a video driver problem.

If you want 'temporarily permanent' (it'll last, but not if you upgrade your kernel) you can edit menu.lst manually and add it to the end of your kernel line. [19:43] pdaous4: I suppose you could say that. Though I think it has to do with nswrapper because it gives errors when running firefox from the command line [19:43] ScheissDrogen: rechecks all my collection directories for changes [19:43] no i dont have nVidia card. my laptop have inbuilt graphics card, i dont know whats name of that. . . [19:43] ScheissDrogen: thats what I meant by rescan [19:43] rohit: What does lspci say about your graphics? [19:43] Flannel: i think i may have already done it correctly, then. How can i tell from inside the OS whether i idsabled acpi? [19:44] rohit: it's an nVidia, onboard.

Cause I'm pretty confused. === dexterslab is now known as blankassumption [19:44] ScheissDroge1: yea I set directories for it to build a collection, but my CPU spikes when it rescans so I would rather it not scan every song [19:45] myk_robinson: I have no idea. I'm sure its possible though [19:45] WhoNeedszzz: refresh my memory; is nswrapper that thing to get the sound working?

I'm trying to get suspend-to-disk to work without the tuxonice patches (viz. just ACPI and 2.6.25.15 kernel). I'm using the hibernate scripts and it hibernates just fine. But with resume=/dev/sda5 on reboot it just reboots normally. [20:13] should i use KDE ? [20:13] ? [20:13] Justi1: next time you post the question, mention that you have already installed the module.

The problem with tuxonice (by the way) is that it resumes properly (which is good!) but it will segfault after a few minutes. So I thought I'd try the non-tuxonice alternative. [20:15] kartoffelmensch: or maybe it's lmsensors, without the underscore [20:15] Chlorate, ask the guy that was telling us earlier [20:15] im at a loss [20:15] (At least on my machine.) [20:16] acpi won't work noodlesgc [20:16] wart_, there is also no ubuntu release with a 2.6.23 kernel :) [20:16] ok i check, thank you guys [20:16] eht01 why not?

[20:29] MortenB: I get that on kernel panic [20:29] is there a toshiba chanel? [20:29] rohit: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.numberOld [20:29] askand, what could be the cause of that on a freshly installed system? [20:29] askand, And?

(i'm on gnome) [20:32] pdaous4:should be intel-hda [20:32] Chlorate: open up the file /etc/rc.local as root [20:32] does anyone know if there is a way to play DRM'ed WMA files in ubuntu? [20:33] askand, How? [20:33] ScheissDroge1: you mean the device driver line in xorg.conf should be intel-hda? or is that the package name? [20:33] Chlorate: in a terminal: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local [20:33] MortenB: oh...yea..8.04 had problems with that for some people..I dont think they know the cause really :/ [20:33] I need help: my N95 is not mounting on hardy, using "mass storage" mode [20:33] ech0s7: that's a tough one; there aren't a lot of great video editors out there. And I'm not quite sure what you'd do once you get the video file created. But here are a few leads for video editors: kino, lives, cinelerra. [20:34] askand, Then? [20:34] askand, really? So what is the solution, a downgrade? [20:34] Chlorate: then before exit 0 you put "modprobe -r ehci_hcd" [20:35] pdaous4:intel-hda is the correct driver, not listet in xorg... , but xorg... hasn't a helpfull monitor section, xorg.0.log displays no errors on driver, so prbly loaded, otherwise manually by modprobe [20:35] Hello. I've just installed Ubuntu. For some reason, there's no sound in my computer. Is there some common guide to fix this kind of problems?

[20:35] MortenB: hm..8.10 is released in october..perhaps you want to use that version..it should not be used on production systems and such as it can break [20:35] alexi5: rhythmbox, totem -- a lot of them, actually. [20:36] alexi5: to listen to a Shoutcast stream in Rhythmbox, you add it as a radio station. [20:36] Chlorate: ok save it and reboot, and report back :) [20:36] but tell me how ??? [20:36] I need help: my N95 is not mounting on hardy, using "mass storage" mode [20:36] !info smbmount [20:36] Package smbmount does not exist in hardy [20:36] askand, You got it. brb [20:36] askand, can you refer me to a discussion on this subject, perhaps with suggestions for temporary fixes?

[20:54] delire: acceroies->keyring or something [20:54] brettley_: oh, here's something interesting: to specify a logical partition, all you need is (hd0,4) -- not sure what the extra 0 is there for [20:54] delire: im not sure, its just an idea :) [20:55] brentsen, How will that help? :\ [20:55] askand, Then what? [20:55] problems with intel pro wireless 3945abg [20:55] here is the uotput : http://paste.ubuntu.com/42492/ [20:55] does someone feel like helping me with WPA / Wireless connection issues? pleeeze? .. [20:55] Cb [20:55] Please help, I have a new drive for extra storage that I just added to my PC. I want this drive to be encrypted. My other drive is not encrypted. How do I accomplish this so I can access this drive yet it be encrypted such that I have to type in a password to mount it? [20:55] Chlorate: go with brentsens idea I think :) [20:55] Hey I'm back [20:55] Sounds good [20:55] sanjayb, you might have better luck in #wireless [20:55] askand, It shows fuse, lp, rtc, and sbp2 are there I dunno. [20:56] ubuntu see chipset but cant make it work [20:56] Having problems getting the Nvidia drivers working under Intrepid Ibex [20:56] Chlorate: The kernel will not load that module. Add the line and reboot. It should work [20:56] doesn't anyone know about encryption? [20:56] askand: hrmm. i'm not working in a Gnome session but will login to a gnome session and see if the key was automatically added there. cheers. [20:56] k0de: hm. it looks like an ubuntu problem to me . [20:56] bbs [20:56] brentsen, How do I do this then? Explain in somewhat detail if you would. I'm pretty new.. [20:56] Chlorate: the command you run after boot to make usb work, removes the module ehci_hcd. If you do what berntsen say, ubuntu will not load the module so no need to remove it :) [20:56] Okay, here's how you guys can be helpful. Since nobody wants to answer my question at least suggest which channel i should go to [20:56] k0de: network-manager is fubared. and then im not sure what the cmd. line is for sending the wpa key . well, guess #wireless might be a better place. thx. [20:57] ijn: can you "iwlist wlan0 scan" and see your access point? [20:57] good night [20:57] i got a problem, when i log in the normal way, in my sudo account which has enabled compiz i only get a blank white screen. this happened after the update via update manager, i don't know what's wrong so if anyone could help me. btw now i'm in the failsafe gnome m.o. [20:57] Anyone using nvidia-glx-173 with Intrepid Ibex? [20:58] wlan no scan results [20:58] pdaous4: having isues getting the partition to mount [20:58] Chlorate: in a terminal, type "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" add the line "blacklist ehci_hcd" at the bottom. Press ctrl+x and y, then reboot. [20:58] brettley_: hm, interesting. What's your error? [20:58] kebert, #nvidia for linux nvidia issues. they're not very fast to respond usually but i got my 6100 working thanks to them [20:58] ijn: I have the same wireless card and also have problems with it [20:58] Thanks k0de [20:58] wow friggin hello [20:58] pdaous4: wasnt a proper shutdown [20:58] are u on a dell inspiron? [20:59] here's how you guys can be helpful. Since nobody wants to answer my question at least suggest which channel i should go to [20:59] ijn: it used to work, up until a month or two ago. now it seems to work roughly 50% of the time I boot. so I just reboot until it works. [20:59] Please help, I have a new drive for extra storage that I just added to my PC. I want this drive to be encrypted. My other drive is not encrypted. How do I accomplish this so I can access this drive yet it be encrypted such that I have to type in a password to mount it? [20:59] ijn: no, I'm on an ASUS W1J [20:59] What software do I need to input unicode characters by their number? [20:59] i got a problem, when i log in the normal way, in my sudo account which has enabled compiz i only get a blank white screen. this happened after the update via update manager, i don't know what's wrong so if anyone could help me. btw now i'm in the failsafe gnome... so any way to find out what's wrong with it? [20:59] jinzougen: GNOME can do it [20:59] Can KDE do it? [20:59] for me iwl3945 doenot work [20:59] daedra: oh, here we go -- I'd never used passphrases with SSH keys before. Apparently if you include a passphrase when you generate a key, you'll be asked for that passphrase whenever you try to use that key. [20:59] brentsen, Okay when I press ctrl x and y nothing happens. [20:59] daedra: what are you wanting to accomplish? [21:00] Chlorate: and enter [21:00] Hi everyone. I run ubuntu 8.04.1 and have a slight problem - dictionary isn't working - says it cannot connect to server. How can i fix it? Have default settings now [21:00] :) [21:00] k0de: It's not the solution you're looking for, but install cryptkeeper. It can encrypt a directory [21:00] Chlorate: then it should take you back to terminal [21:00] pdaous4: whats the command to force mount SDA5? [21:00] I need some help getting my Geforce FX 5700 working with Intrepid Ibex [21:00] berntsen, that is cool. thanks. [21:00] kebert, go to #ubuntu+1 [21:01] pdaous4: well, I want to be able to use both key based auth, and passwording on that key [21:01] berntsen, i have a roommate that is nosey =) much obliged [21:01] Chlorate: Ctrl+X means exit. And then you press Y to accept the changes to the file. It saves the file and brings you back to the terminal. [21:01] usseer, thanks for the tip [21:01] jinzougen: I don't know. maybe #kubuntu will know [21:01] askand, I'm starting to think my control button doesn't work... I can't do ctrl + V to paste things or ctrl + T to open up a tab.. [21:01] k0de: aha... [21:01] i got a problem, when i log in the normal way, in my sudo account which has enabled compiz i only get a blank white screen. this happened after the update via update manager, i don't know what's wrong so if anyone could help me. btw now i'm in the failsafe gnome... so any way to find out what's wrong with it? [21:01] are there m4a codecs for RhythmBox? [21:01] pdaous4: so that you have to have the key and enter that keys password to log in [21:01] i'm reading up on writing upstart jobs, which it seems should be placed in /etc/init/jobs.d, but /etc/init doesn't exist on my system (hardy). is this typical? [21:02] daedra: that seems to be what you want then -- ssh-keygen -p [21:02] pdaous4: but so far only passwordlogin and keyauth work [21:02] Chlorate: hm okej , then in terminal: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [21:02] berntsen, aside from that, everything should be encrypted all the time [21:02] askand: it might be easier than the terminal editor :) [21:02] cmatheson: /etc/init.d [21:02] cmatheson, try #upstart [21:02] daedra: oh... um, I'm pretty ignorant of extreme security; sorry; I'll have to defer that question to someone else :) [21:02] berntsen, that's not for upstart jobs [21:02] berntsen: Seveas: thanks [21:02] cmatheson: it may be /etc/init.d/ [21:02] Seveas: sorry... [21:02] brettley_: dunno about forcing, but a manual mount, which will give you error mesages, would be sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /media/whatever_your_mount_point_is_called === julian_ is now known as delire [21:02] cmatheson: but i'm not familiar with upstart [21:03] cmatheson, /etc/event.d is where some stock jobs are stored in 8.04/upstart 0.3. Upstart 0.5 is completely different [21:03] askand, Then what? [21:03] Chlorate: blacklist ehci_hcd [21:03] k0de: if you google for 'ubuntu encrypted drive' you'll find lots of advice [21:03] Chlorate: that should be in that file [21:03] brettley_: ('sudo mount -a' will do the same thing, only to every drive that's set up in /etc/fstab) [21:03] Chlorate: If it is not, you add it to the bottom [21:03] pdaous4: what do i put for whatever the media is called [21:03] Chlorate: Take a reboot. Everything should be ok without you having to use that command [21:04] askand, bernsen, I will do that. [21:04] brettley_: you could create a folder in /media (or anywhere, for that matter) and then use that folder. For testing purposes I usually create a folder called /home/paul/mydisk and then go 'sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /home/paul/mydisk' [21:05] brettley_: there might already be a folder in /media called 'windows' or something, but that might already be mounted with the Vista partition. [21:05] Seveas: oh shoot, is documentation available for the older upstart versions? or should i just use inittab? [21:05] i got a problem, when i log in the normal way, in my sudo account which has enabled compiz i only get a blank white screen. this happened after the update via update manager, i don't know what's wrong so if anyone could help me. btw now i'm in the failsafe gnome... so any way to find out what's wrong with it? [21:05] Can someone help me with ubuntu? First time user .. i need help with my games [21:05] opt1k: what graphics card? ATI? [21:05] pdaous4: it wont let me mount === _dasdajs is now known as dasdajs [21:06] woodyfly: ask your question and we will try to help [21:06] askand: yes, but didn't have those problems till now [21:06] opt1k: did you notice if it was a kernel update? [21:06] anyone know of any local memory editors for ubuntu? [21:06] brettley_: any error messages? If not, can you paste the last ten lines of the output of the dmesg command? [21:06] All my games feel theyre being run at 60hz... if i try to force it with an ingame command (eg. r_displayrefresh 100) it doesnt work [21:06] askand: didn't had the time to look at details, as i did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and went away [21:06] I can't connect to people's music shares with rhythmbox - it says retrieving music, but it doesn't retrieve anything. Can someone help me fix that? [21:07] RyanPrior: firewall issue, maybe? [21:07] RyanPrior, that would be my first guess too. [21:07] pdaous4: on my end, or theirs? [21:07] $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0) Failled to mount '/dev/sda5' [21:07] RyanPrior, are you behind a router/firewall device [21:07] anyone know what chan I should take OSS sound problems to?? [21:07] opt1k: hm ok..can you pastebin the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:07] pdaous4: thats what i get [21:08] RyanPrior, also, do you have nmap installed? [21:08] k0de: I am behind a router, but I can connect to other people's computers over LAN and I can see the shares, just not retrieve the music. [21:08] k0de: How do I check for nmap? [21:08] askand: i'll do that now, give me a sec [21:08] askand, Okay it seemed to work on start up. It took a few moments to mount. Will it be slow or something? [21:08] ryanakca, you don't have it installed. apt-get install nmap [21:08] brettley: ah. That's one of the annoying things with Linux and Windows... reboot into Vista, access your XP partition, then reboot back into Ubuntu. [21:08] i mean RyanPrior [21:08] hi all [21:08] RyanPrior, you don't have it installed. apt-get install nmap [21:08] thats all i have to do? [21:08] brettley_: that should mark the XP partition as properly unmounted. [21:08] Chlorate: it will be the same way as when you wrote the command every startup, but easier for you ;) [21:09] i had a cdrom drive in my machine and I swapped it for a dvd [21:09] k0de: Why isn't nmap installed by default? [21:09] pdaous4: ok [21:09] but it doesn't now function as a dvd [21:09] i put it on a differnt ide channel [21:09] k0de: Silly that it shows you the shares but won't let you connect to them. [21:09] brettley_: works for me. won't fix the XP-not-booting issue, but at least you'll be able to mount it. [21:09] but it still doen't work [21:09] RyanPrior, also you need to learn everything about nmap because it's the coolest networking tool ever [21:09] why? [21:09] askand, Okay good! Thank you. Also, for some reason my control key doesn't work. Any ideas there? :\ I use ctrl often [21:09] pdaous4: isnt that y we needed to mount it? so we could get it to boot :) === greeve is now known as Greeve^zzzZZZzzz [21:09] Anyone know of a decent organiser besides Mozilla Sunbird >? [21:09] RyanPrior, it's by far the best portscanning tool there is, and we'll test your socket connections with it. [21:09] Chlorate: If its in the terminal, you should use ctrl+shift+ :) is it other programs too? [21:10] askand: http://opt1k.pastebin.com/d4efc96da [21:10] brettley_: actually, it was just so we could check to see that NTLDR was there. Which, it occurs to me, could be done just as easily once you boot into Vista :-) [21:10] bbq^, do you like Basket? [21:10] askand, Nope. For example, in firefox I can't use ctrl+T to open a new tab or ctrl+V to paste something [21:10] pdaous4: -.- and im restarting my PC now after booting windows lol [21:10] im trying to run sudo dpkg --configure -a and i get a segfault with the following: dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 [21:10] brettley_: ha, no worries [21:10] anyone any ideas? [21:10] guys, i have thinkpad t42, and when iam on ubuntu my fan never stops runing. How can i fix this? [21:10] k0de: I installed nmap and restared rhythmbox but the shares still aren't pulling music in - do I have to start nmap somehow? [21:11] opt1k: hm ok..why do you have a sudo account btw? :) [21:11] cbx333, this channel works so fast, could you try to keep your question in one line? [21:11] pdaous4: whould it be easier to do it from ubuntu for modifying the GRUB after or something? [21:11] cbx333, i've lost your train of thought in the scroll [21:11] :P [21:11] np [21:11] brettley_: yeah, it would, actually. Stay in Linux if you're already there. [21:12] pdaous4: right when i boot to vista haha [21:12] RyanPrior, lol no, nmap is a tool i'm going to have you run to test the connection [21:12] I swapped out a cd rom drive and replace with a dvd drive, though on a different ide channel.....now the dvd drive doesn't function as a dvd ... but as a cd [21:12] RyanPrior, nmap theipaddress [21:12] ryanakca, it will take a minute or so [21:12] opt1k: you can try to reinstall the atidrivers perhaps..sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx and then sudo depmod -a [21:12] brettley_: oh wait. maybe I'm confused. I thought you said you had booted into Vista and now you were rebooting into Linux. Which is what should be done. [21:12] k0de: Aha, I thought you meant it was one of Rhythmbox's dependencies for pulling in music. :-P [21:12] totem says could not read from resource [21:12] askand: hah, it was kind of 2 accs, one for the games & apps, second for compiz & work [21:12] RyanPrior, pastebin the result [21:12] k0de, never tried Basket ? === kyle__ is now known as kpmoore [21:12] askand: o_O kk, will try, ty for help =) [21:12] bbq^, try basket it's like Microsoft OneNote [21:13] pdaous4: ok so i will boot into linux [21:13] yup [21:13] My control button doesn't work can anyone help me? [21:13] opt1k: np :) im not sure if its will work but its worth a shot [21:13] bbq^, basket got 2007 new linux app of the year from linuxmagazine [21:13] pdaous4: also then i dont have to go through all that crap just to see hidden files and folder [21:13] s [21:13] Chlorate: Hm this control key of yours, does it work somewhere? In any program? [21:14] k0de: How do I find the ip address of the share being shown in Rhythmbox? [21:14] RyanPrior, nmap is the hacker's best friend. You can scan for either tcp or udp ports, you can scan devices that don't ping back, you can scan whole networks. [21:14] askand, Not that I know of. It did work for compiz and the spinning cube but I took off the binding for that to make sure [21:14] askand: yeah, i hope it will.. and also i hope ati/community will improve that damn drivers =) [21:14] RyanPrior, it doesn't show you the hostname? [21:14] RyanPrior, what's the name of the share [21:14] opt1k: indeed, I think community is catching up :) [21:15] k0de: it just shows them by their human-readable names, ie Brianna's Library [21:15] Why cant i save an nvidia-setings auto generated xorg.conf? [21:15] i would be completely screwed at my day job if i didn't have nmap. Everyone should know how to use it [21:15] ahh nice k0de i will definately give it a go then, thanks for the suggestion :D [21:15] pdaous4: the only things i see in windows XP's home dir (sda5) is a bunch of folders for the OS and a pagefile.sys i dont see any boot things [21:15] RyanPrior, where did you get these names for the libraries? and click on properties [21:16] askand, Any insight? : ( [21:16] askand: yep, but for now i prefer proprietary drivers, because regnum plays badly on open source =) [21:17] Why cant i save an nvidia-setings auto generated xorg.conf? "Unable to create NEW x config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [21:17] k0de: I get the names from Rhythmbox's music shares list (GUI) [21:17] everyone: install nmap apt-get install nmap and read the documentation for it at insecure.org learn how to use it by heart it's the most useful networking tool there is [21:17] woodyfly: did u sudo it? === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [21:17] Chlorate: no..you have some strange problems mate.. [21:17] how? [21:17] pdaous4: i see bootstat in the /windows/ folder [21:17] askand, I know. I hate it.. [21:17] hello once again [21:17] woodyfly: sudo and then what you want [21:17] brettley_: uh-oh... that's bad news; you should see a good number of files... ntdetect.com, ntldr are the two important ones, in addition to pagefile.sys [21:17] Chlorate: is it a laptop? [21:17] RyanPrior, I refuse to believe there is no way that you can see the hostnames or ip addresses of these from inside the gui [21:18] pdaous4: um, how should i go about getting it? [21:18] ? i dont know how.. im new .. [21:18] im doing it thru my nvidia x server settings [21:18] RyanPrior, go to terminal and type netstat then pastebin the output [21:18] pdaous4: wait......... i have another PC that has winXP on it, would that work to take the files from? [21:18] !pastebin [21:18] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [21:18] woodyfly: ok, first of all, are you aware that xorg.conf.backup is only a *backup* and doesn't get read from? [21:18] brettley_: maybe, I think NTLDR is custom-created. let me find out. [21:18] i have rebooted my laptop. now what to do [21:18] pdaous4: OK [21:19] pdaous4: sorry bout caps [21:19] im trying to save it to my original xorg and it wont let me [21:19] k0de: Okay, I got an IP that I'm trying to connect to [21:19] askand, Okay I got it. There were some bindings in compiz that were effing up! Thank you for all your help! :) === tigor is now known as dbz [21:19] woodyfly: second, do you have that backup file somewhere on your desktop/wherever? if you do, try this: sudo cp -r [21:19] RyanPrior, what's the ip [21:20] Chlorate: ah good :) your welcome [21:20] i dont have a backup [21:20] RyanPrior, go to terminal, nmap thatip and pastebin the output [21:20] why do i need one [21:20] brettley_: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm#b that's interesting; looks like you can copy ntldr and ntdetect.com over. Should be the same build (i.e., XP, not Vista). You don't necessarily need to follow the steps about using the recovery console, because you can copy the files to the correct spots through Linux or Vista. [21:20] i just wanna save my new xorg settings from nvidia [21:21] pdaous4: ok ill transfer them over [21:21] woodyfly: so do you have them saved somewhere ? [21:21] woodyfly, i have a way for you to do it that some people disagree with in here but this is the #nvidia FAQ way [21:21] Is here anyone that got time to walk me through on how to setup TV-out on my ATI Radeon X600 card? I've been googling and so on but haven't succeeded :( [21:21] i have restarted my laptop . now what to do [21:21] pdaous4: so what all files do i need? [21:21] opt1k: i dont know [21:21] Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -PN (newline) Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 2.038 seconds [21:21] k0de: see the output above [21:21] woodyfly: ok, where are your new settings located then? on nvidia website? if that's so, c/p those settings to some file on your desktop and name it xorg.conf [21:21] brettley_: just ntldr and ntdetect.com, I think, but the howto I sent you covers it more accurately than I could :-) [21:21] RyanPrior, do this: nmap -P0 thatip [21:22] opt1k: i can see my new setings with nvidia generated xorg, but it wont let me save it [21:22] I can't seem to unextract any archives in ubuntu, i've tried tar, zip, and rar and when i right click and choose Extract Here it doesn't do anything. [21:22] pdaous4: just copy and paste to the same place right? [21:22] how can i get ubuntu fonts in xp? [21:22] RyanPrior, and don't you dare paste the output in the channel. use pastebin. [21:22] opt1k: my current xorg is EMPTY, i cant edit anything [21:22] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.numberO , woodyfly [21:22] brettley_: yup, the root folder of your XP partition. [21:22] Hey ya, is it possible to resize a hdd without deleting all data? [21:22] !pastebin [21:22] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [21:22] k0de: Is that -P0, as in numeral zero? [21:22] yes [21:22] woodyfly: then you entered the path wrong most likely... and it just "created" a file to open [21:22] where do firefox and thunderbird keep settings / downloaded mail [21:22] anyway to turn ubuntus thoughts that my dvd is a cd around? [21:22] woodyfly: you have to: sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf [21:22] any one who want to buy free iphones 3gb 4gb 8gb 16gb 32gb pm lee [21:23] woodyfly: then paste the new settings there & save it [21:23] k0de: Same output with -p0 [21:23] what font does ubuntu use by defualt? [21:23] RyanPrior, if a host doesn't ping back, but is active, -P0 ignores the ping back., [21:23] opt1k: u sure that wont fkd i up? lol [21:23] pdaous4: not hard then, just throw my live boot disk of hardy in another PC, put in a porta HDD and copy paste :) [21:23] RyanPrior, the host is down [21:23] opt1k: i had to reinstall ubuntu 2 times cause of broken xorgs [21:23] k0de: I know for sure it isn't. [21:23] k0de: That host is able to read my music share, I just can't read his. [21:23] RyanPrior, nmap -sU -P0 theip [21:23] woodyfly: there isn't much to fck up :P [21:23] k0de: Found my problem; I typed -p0 instead of -P0 [21:23] there you go [21:24] ignore last line [21:24] where do firefox and thunderbird keep settings / downloaded mail? [21:24] i want to transfer wireless network settings from one laptop to another. When i try "Edit wireless network" from the network-icon i cant edit bssids. Any suggestions? [21:24] brettley_: yup, that'll be fine. And it is the root folder of your XP partition, correct. After copying those files, all you need to do is change the 'root (hd0,4,0)' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst to 'root (hd0,4)'. [21:24] RyanPrior, ok let me know what -P0 says in a minute.

[21:41] lejacques: It says device busy [21:42] I am unable to eject my cd-rom to put in the next one it says unable to unmount [21:42] unop: its an external usb hd [21:42] Strife89: if you're using Ubuntu 8.04, you can press [esc] to skip it. [21:42] unop: its strange because ive used it before fine, but i just formatted [21:42] Strife89, yes, there is - but ideally you don't want to skip this, let it continue .. if it finishes successfully, it shouldn't do it for the next 30 or so boots [21:43] drago1: do you know whats using it? [21:43] lejacques, does dmesg have anything to say about the device? [21:43] ive always wondered, all these open source projects that have really strict coding conventions, is there someone sitting and validating all committed code? or do they have a program to do it?

[21:43] lejacques: Yes world of warcraft installer is using it [21:43] Is there a certain type of break I need to insert after the title? [21:43] lejacques, after plugging it in [21:44] drago1: ahh, i get it drago [21:44] lejacques: But i don't want to exit the installer because it needs the next disk to continue [21:44] mizipzor: Each open source project has its own code of conduct when it comes to code clean-ness and correctness - some are very loose, some are rigid and diligently vet each line. [21:44] drago1: honestly im not real sure [21:44] hellp [21:44] kavelot: have a look at the log files when you plug it in/out, you should see something ... [21:44] hello* [21:44] mizipzor: It's important to understand that open source projects, lacking centralization or corporate control, are community-driven and that blanket statements cannot be made. [21:44] any recommendations on a good theme site for Ubuntu? [21:44] Strife89, there's something wrong it it does an fsck every time you boot up. [21:45] Nutt718: gnome-look.org [21:45] Maybe someone else will know what the problem is [21:45] unop: Which it does.... :( [21:45] RyanPrior: very true indeed...

I find it faster [23:02] does data=writeback make your ext3 faster? [23:02] any one have a link to compile a kernel for speed? [23:03] envyNG is working right now hop its work :'( [23:03] ah, i prefer gnome-terminal, ActionParsnip [23:03] ActionParsnip, its pretty similar... [23:03] woli: yakuake moves up and down like console in quake / half-life when you press a hot key [23:04] unop: I'm back, screenshot pastes will come shortly.... [23:04] ActionParsnip, gnome-terminal has a scroll bar, but i do believe that with page-up and page-down you can scroll also... [23:04] woli: no this gets out of the way if you press a key [23:05] unop: First of three: http://picpaste.com/IMGP4640.JPG [23:05] woli: so yuor terminal can be minimised etc, i just press a key and it descends from the top of the screen [23:05] am very new to ubuntu to all Linux so what i need do do first ????

And, now i can't print. When I try to the OO just sort of freezes up. I can only force the program to quit. When I restart the program it says the file (that I had opened before) is able to be recovered, then i'm back to square A again. what can i check? [23:06] unop: Last one. Rebooted normally after I snapped this one. http://picpaste.com/IMGP4645.JPG [23:07] what is faster reiser4 or ext3? [23:07] dfgas, may depend on the task its doing. [23:07] ActionParsnip, wow, i didn't know there was also a yakuake for mac! [23:08] !seen unop [23:08] I have no seen command [23:08] dfgas, theres proberly some benchmarks out on google comparing them all.

[23:10] dfgas, generally speaking, I'd be worried about data integrity more than performance. [23:10] is there any way to resume the packages downloads ??????????? [23:10] dfgas, dr_willis: And if you have a slower drive, you won't see much of a difference anyway. [23:10] true [23:10] What was that? [23:10] WastePotato, kids got out of school early it seems... [23:10] how or where do i add this to the smb.conf file? usershare owner only = False [23:10] Ahmed-Alaa: if you stop halfway, the partial download will be removed but the completed debs will be kept [23:10] ActionParsnip, you can customize yakuake right? [23:10] Strife89, baracuda 160gig [23:10] hi [23:10] woli: you can colour it [23:11] um, i have a question. [23:11] ActionParsnip, i mean, in transparency and fonts [23:11] and colors... [23:11] lol [23:11] anyone: Ask it. [23:11] dfgas, ReiserFS has a very bad record vis-a-vis integrity -- I've lost multiple partitions due to bugs in its fsck, and there was a *long* time in which they had no bad-block handling whatsoever. [23:11] woli: no idea, never tried, not that bothered [23:11] unop: You around? [23:11] Hello. Recently installed ubuntu(about.. 3 hours ago) and my screen resolution is 800x600.

[23:18] strategy: You should apply those updates, but I doubt it'll fix the problem if what I had ubottu tell you didn't work. [23:18] Back, Chlouge did you figure it out [23:18] how to install ubunntu on a 5 years old laptop that can't run on an usb drive, nor on a cd drive but that have a floppy disk drive ? [23:18] I'm having a lot of intermittent issues and I was thinking that this laptop may just be failing somewhere. I was told I should run fsck, but I can't seem to figure out how. man pages say I need to be in single user mode, but when i tried that it still boots up into gnome and the disk is mounted. fsck says not to do it on a mounted disk. any help? [23:18] Strife89, hmm, i'm out of ideas -- the next thing i would do is enable grub to boot up verbose .. press ESC at the grub screen, select your kernel, press e and remove the splash and quiet words from the end of the line and press ctrl+k to boot .. look at what happens just prior the fsck happens during boot, you might get an indication there [23:19] BigBuddha, err.. so? thats how the nano editor looks.. unless theres some issue you wish to clarify? [23:19] ok strife [23:19] dr_willis: oh, no i am just completely new to it :) [23:19] BigBuddha, unless you perfer vi, or some other editor..

[23:21] dr_willis: ok, how do i save it? [23:21] BigBuddha, 'write out' saves.. writes the files out to disk....

[23:41] Friendly_hazard, i would set up windows to 'share' the drive. and let the vmwareubuntu acccess it as a samba share. that would be the safest way [23:41] I'm even more confused >.> [23:41] dr_willis, in my case is to send send the same input to multiple game instances [23:41] friendly _hazard yes that is possible [23:41] brentd, ati.com?

[23:42] Riyonuk: application > asscesories > terminal [23:42] k [23:42] Strife89, seems to be fine - maybe you should try this. sudo e2fsck -n -f /dev/sda2 # to check the filesystem even if it is clean but do nothing if problems are found.

I'm able to remote in when I'm already logged in, but if I reboot, then I have to reconnect my keyboard and mouse to log back in. Is there a way to set it up so I would be able to remote in before being logged in ? [23:43] gotgnu, technically if they can ping each other..they are networked.. if you want to setup some services, or shares.. thats also doable. [23:44] spunk, use a live CD .. mount the old drive and new drive to say. /media/old /media/new respectively and run this command. sudo rsync -av /media/old /media/new [23:44] dr_willis: do I just plug it in ? [23:44] how can I start a service on boot if it refuse to start? [23:44] gotgnu, you are talking a straight cable from one machine to another with no router? [23:45] spunk, that will copy the files .. to copy the bootloader (grub) .. sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 # where /dev/sda is the old drive and /dev/sdb is the new one [23:45] right [23:45] dr_willis: yes [23:45] unop, ok, thanks! [23:45] Riyonuk: hold on a second [23:45] where can I get a bootable Gutsy .iso to burn please. [23:45] gotgnu, well #1 - if the network ports are NOT gigibit , you will need a special crossover network cable.. [23:45] spunk, actually - to think about it .. do the dd command first, then mount and use rsync afterwards [23:45] unop, ok [23:46] gotgnu, if both are gigibit (1000) speed - then i dont think you need a crossover cable. (or so i hear) [23:46] whats the command to input in terminal to get a list of devices on your system? [23:46] Riyonuk: go to add/remove applications [23:46] olskolirc: Just go to www.ubuntu.com and click on Download..... [23:46] Riyonuk: and search for compiz [23:46] gotgnu, otherwise you will need 2 cables and either a hub or a router. [23:46] unop, will rsync take care of special files, such as /dev? [23:46] rockwellgump, lshal / lshw / hwinfo [23:46] Riyonuk: it should be tittled desktop effects [23:46] unop, thanks [23:46] IdleOne, for some reason youtube seems to be really slow. I'm going to hazard a guess that it's Linux only. But if your looking for a tool upload one file to multiple sites at once (Vimeo,Youtube, etc) you can use a free service called TubeMogul. [23:46] the last copy i got from ubuntu.com wasn't bootable Strife89 [23:46] help; Ive created links between thunderbird and firefox windoz directory which worked well for first session, logged out then next session had a permissions issue when opening up firefox any suggestions how to get over this between logouts?

[23:47] WastePotato: thanks I will take a look at it [23:47] olskoirc: Is your BIOS set to check for CDs before booting from the hard drive? [23:47] spunk, /dev is only created on boot .. provided the rsync command is successful .. the kernel in the new system will populate /dev automatically [23:47] Riyonuk: anything else i can do for you?
