[00:00] brb [00:00] Why is everything else so irritatingly simple? [00:01] What OS is simple? If you think windows/vista is simple.. you havent really looked at it... [00:01] trikdo, lessons have been learnt ... [00:01] how to download flv on firefox?any solution? [00:01] lol why are downloads in osx and linux so much faster than in windows [00:01] BunTai, theres seeral firefox extensions that do that. check the firefox extension pages [00:01] sorwrith, better filesystem :) for one.

I'm customizing an Ubuntu livecd, and want that when it inits it will open firefox and show 2 tabs... any clue? I have been reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization#Customizations but no clue at all. [00:04] vicm3, you should configure the .mozilla [00:05] Justi1, Well making stuff compatible will just take time. It's difficult for developers to get things to work, especially when hardware manufacturers won't tell them how to do it. [00:05] Trying to write fstab entry for ntfs and not getting it right. Anyone have an example for me? [00:05] Can somebody tell me why flash is only working half the time on firefox? ( right now im having to refresh over and over until it starts up right... ) [00:05] Here's what I have so far: [00:05] vicm3, open firefox [00:05] after go in configuration [00:05] Justi1, Sometimes when something hasn't fully been worked out you have to resort back to commands. At least they're there when you know how to use them [00:05] and put the links [00:05] like this way [00:05] Here's what I have so far: [00:06] /dev/sda2 /sda2 ntfs noaudo,user 0 0 [00:06] www.google.com|www.yahoo.it [00:06] pipe to separate them [00:06] should i have a swap if i have 2 gigs of ram [00:06] Hi everyone, I want this script to run everything in the background under a name or pid how can I do that? http://pastebin.com/d1bda8137 [00:06] Instead of ntfs maybe auto? or...? [00:06] sharpyamaha: to me xp works much better than ubuntu...this is just wasting my time trying to figure it out [00:06] I have 8gigs of ram and have swap XD [00:06] sorwrith, it cant hurt to have one [00:06] sorwrith, you cant do anything wrong with that [00:06] hey all, are there any java programmers here experienced with java3d [00:07] ??? [00:07] sorwrith, and a swap partition/file is needed if you wish for suspend/resume [00:07] or someone that has had some experience with glx??? [00:07] hello, i cant mount my usb flash drives [00:07] Justi1, Well if you have a problem this is the place to ask [00:07] ok... i have a 200gb harddrive with OSX on it... should ubuntu be at the beginning or the end [00:07] cam_, what doesn't work with that entry? and why not make that /media/sda2 instead of just /sda2 [00:08] Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices [00:08] trikdo: which sites? === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [00:09] unop: Do I need to just reboot [00:09] Ninesvnsicks, use the special variable $$ .. and put it in a pidfile. e.g. echo $$> /path/to/pidfile [00:09] cam_, no. just this is needed. sudo mount -a [00:09] cam_, you have to make sure that /media/sda2 exists first [00:10] is there a good way to convince the Junk Mail filter on Evolution to suck less when talking to Exchanage? [00:10] brettley: hello [00:10] cam_, if you use the user option on that line .. any user should be able to mount the device. [00:10] does anyone know how to update glx 1.2 drivers to 1.3, or is the version limited based off my graphics card? [00:10] unop: Need to mount as user [00:10] cam_, also. look at pmount for mounting devices as non-root [00:11] /dev/sda2 /sda2 auto user,noauto 0 0 [00:11] Help; does anyone know about sharing data between Windows and Linux? [00:11] cam_, auto? no. ntfs or ntfs-3g .. ntfs-3g preferred [00:11] unop: Need to put an Icon on the desktop. (THis mahcine is for my friend).

[00:13] nice shower WastePotato :) [00:13] xD [00:13] Ninesvnsicks, no. you'll have to use something like perl or python, etc to change a process name [00:13] W9ZEB, sorry? [00:13] what do you guys think about google Chrome browser coming out soon? [00:13] alistair: similar to.... sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sd(*) /media/windows [00:13] so glad there is another browser based on webkit [00:13] is this entry ok?: [00:13] alistair: google: ubuntu mount ntfs-3g [00:13] /dev/sda2 /sda2 ntfs-3g user,noauto 0 0 [00:13] /dev/sda2 /sda2 ntfs-3g user,noauto 0 0 [00:13] cam_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

This touchpad is very sensitive. [00:15] hello, since i updated my ubuntu i cant open my usb flash drives, what can i do? [00:15] coz i haven't found the option yet either [00:15] but i had it on enlightment [00:15] would be weird that its nowhere here... [00:15] it does not work [00:15] W9ZEB, eg I can drag a bunch of links from windows to linux and they work fine for this session, but next session there is a sharing error [00:15] its a common function i guess when you have virtual desktops... [00:15] W9ZEB, the links are still in place [00:16] mount -a should make icon appear on the desktop, and it doesn't. [00:16] is there a way to pipe the result of a command into a math formula? IE: echo 63 | (*=1.8)+32 [00:16] What am I doing wrong? [00:16] csa31, see bc for that [00:16] cam_, is the volume indeed mounted? check the output of mount [00:16] hey [00:17] blah^2 [00:18] Not mounted [00:19] !who | cam_ [00:19] cam_: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[00:21] is it possible to change kernel frequency on ubuntu 8.04 without recompiling the kernel? [00:21] Yeah [00:21] Is there a way for me to capture the control characters for certain actions (e.g. a mousewheel movement?) [00:21] there was anywhere an option to set how the cpu frequency scaling should scale. but cant find it anymore. [00:21] Drago1: if you're installing from the repos, i dont realy know what kind of tips to give you.. make sure you hit apply? [00:21] Drago1: yeah thats the easiest choice, unless you want special stuff like java3d or jogl, then thats not in there [00:21] ubottu: how do you use !tab? [00:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:22] is there any internet download manager for linux? [00:22] should i install sun java6 runtime [00:22] I need special stuff like that [00:22] Hi all, I'm having issues with the touchpad on a dell xps1530, it jumps like crazy, I have so far only tried the livecd, but I was wondering if this is a simple matter of specific/proprietary drivers? (in this case using hardy, but this problem has also popped up on SystemRescueCD). Also, external usb mouse works fine. [00:22] cam_, why don't you have nautilus mount the partition ? Places > Computer > Click on the disk [00:22] To play a game called wurm online [00:22] Dedi not cpu frequency, but kernel frequency or what it is called. you know, 100hz, 250hz and 1000hz [00:22] which is a 3d rpg that runs off java [00:22] aycher, type the first few letters of someone's nick and then press the TAB key. e.g ayc [00:22] it does not show up in nautilis [00:23] shadowmancer: So how exactly would i get jogl and what not? [00:23] dasdajs: i have 800mhz, 1,8ghz and 2,2ghz [00:23] Dedi i'm not talking about cpu frequency. [00:23] cam_, try not using sudo there [00:23] dasdajs: i do :) [00:23] cam_, simply. mount /dev/sda2 [00:23] unop: right on.. ty [00:23] unop: It occured to me while I was eating that running that command while the drive is mounted could be dangerous.... [00:23] unop: Just wanted to double-check. [00:23] ohw [00:23] sry [00:24] i'm sleeping :) [00:24] Drago1: do you know what they are even? [00:24] unop: mount /sda2 will mount the partition, but does not provide icon on desktop. [00:24] Strife89, right, i forgot to mention that you need to make sure it is not mounted before you carry out the command [00:24] what's the problem? do ubuntu put your cpu freq too low? [00:24] Drago1: cause unless your really are going to use them, their sort of overkill [00:24] unop: How do I unmount a drive? [00:24] shadowmancer: Yes they are rendering libraries for 3d [00:24] umount [00:24] Which i do need [00:24] Strife89, make sure you are in the recovery mode. then umount /dev/sda2 [00:25] dasdajs: i chosen a too conservative profile, so it can work with full load and still not scaling up to the full power :) [00:25] shadowmancer: Yes i do need them [00:25] unop: Okay, will do. Good thing I checked in, eh? :) [00:25] hello room [00:25] Dedi okay, I had the same problem on ubuntu server edition, think the problem god solved buy removeing powernowd [00:25] Strife89, yep. :) [00:26] unop: I appreciate all your help, man. I'll let you know if it works. [00:26] so im installing 8.10 from inside the live dvd [00:26] Drago1: well the only one that i really use is Java3d, which is easy enough to get go to https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=java3d-1.5.1-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer [00:26] Strife89, please do. i'd like to know how you get on.

[00:26] leeping2008: not sure what you mean by control characters but type xev in terminal and move wheel or press mouse buttons and see if that helps [00:27] I just installed Samba and then, the SWAT utility which has a number of broken symlinks. When I attempt to access the help pages from SWAT they do NOT exist. This issues appears to be specific to Ubuntu. Can anyone help me fix my SWAT install? [00:27] legend2440, that's extremely close to what I'm looking for, I'm thinking about control characters like ^[[a or something === Pooky_ is now known as Pooky [00:27] Drago1: i don't think so since jogl is sort of old, but if you want it [00:28] Drago1: but if you want it this should walk u through it [00:28] Drago1: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2003/09/11/jogl2d.html [00:28] leeping2008: oh ok. not sure about how to do that [00:28] jogl isnt old [00:28] its the recommended replacement for Java3D [00:28] shadowmancer: thankyou [00:29] hello [00:29] linxeh: serious, most of the stuff i find for it is like 2006 [00:29] any ideas? [00:29] legend2440, no problem :) [00:29] shadowmancer: seriously, Java3D is EOL [00:29] I'm having issues with the touchpad on a dell xps1530, it jumps and randomly clicks like crazy, I have so far only tried the livecd (unusable without a usb mouse), but I was wondering if this is a simple matter of specific/proprietary drivers? And will thus work when I install Ubuntu properly? [00:30] shadowmancer: check the development on dev.java.net for both projects... [00:30] linxeh: sorry not too good with irc speak, EOL? (I know i'm sort of n00bish) [00:31] shadowmancer: End Of Life - EOL is an acronym vendors use when things are no longer actively supported [00:31] linxeh: oh i see, though Java3d is being worked on still isn't it, their working on java3d 1.6.0 [00:31] lol installing 8.10 and watching pokemon... and i feel dirty for watching it [00:32] does anyone here use SWAT with Samba? [00:32] How can I download the source code of applications. And I want to compile it by my optimizing... === gore_ is now known as goure [00:33] shadowmancer: yeah, its being worked on still - JSR231 is much newer than Java3D though and seems to be much more active. that said, they are different APIs and Java3D is much simpler to use [00:34] kyonsalt, there should be a source available [00:34] linxeh: really, well i think i might have know choice really in the use of Java3d, since it won't run half the example code i find since i can't figure out how do get Glx 1.2 to update to 1.3 [00:35] shadowmancer: :/ sorry can't help you there, I'm not using linux for most of my client side work atm :/ [00:36] linxeh: no problem, i think i might just say to hell with it and go to uni and work on the machines there, since their better then my crappy laptop :P [00:36] linxeh: though thanks for all the help, i'm off [00:36] dasdajs: thanks. finally got it : /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector -g performance [00:36] ive installed nearly every java plugin for firefox and it keeps saying i dont have the proper plugins to view java [00:37] hey. does anyone indexer not work? mine can't seem to find anything [00:37] its pretty terrible [00:37] Dedi, no prob :) [00:37] there have been some issues with java [00:37] what do you need the java for [00:37] What is LVM and why should or should we not use it?

[01:02] i've got it, but I still get a lot of weird flags [01:02] dCase, i think it's probably your program, not your compiler [01:02] heh [01:02] i'm not actually programming anything myself [01:02] IndyGunFreak: lsof to see who has the file opened [01:03] just running configure/make/etc will raise flags like "I can't figure out how to find your C Compiler." or "Your C Compiler can't create executables."

I can ping my remote server but I can't SSH to it. My only recourse is a power cycle. How might I find out what caused the lockup after I have rebooted my server?

It looks exactly like what happened last time. 1 week of uptime then locked..It's only happened after I went from 6.10 to 8.04 [01:08] Strife89, does it output anything in that time? [01:08] kart try ps -aux from the console. [01:08] Before that I was up for 5xx days. [01:09] unop: That second picture was taken after I rebooted normally.

[01:13] unop: Roger. :) [01:13] ehtom how did you install lilo? grub is the default normally [01:14] ehtom, sudo apt-get install grub - might reinstall it.

Ok... then what are ya going to do? go get it from source? [01:15] hey--I can't get java to run in firefox--i have installed the jre and everything [01:15] and it's enabled [01:15] ehtom, worse it could do would be ... install grub.. i imagine.. [01:15] Jordan_U: err... if the bootloader is screwed, there is no kernel, so chroot isnt possible [01:15] unop: so that i dont have to use opera2 or something [01:15] ehtom: You don't need a kernel to chroot [01:15] unop: New pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m54d43904 [01:15] dr_willis: yes, however if it installs grub on the wrong disk (i have 2) i'm screwed [01:15] since it will overwrite ntldr [01:16] unop: that works with aliases... [01:16] hi, do I need to install spamassassin if I wanna use the filter spam functionality via spamassassin in thunderbird? [01:16] ehtom, if that other disk is so critical.. well.. power off.. unplug it.. power back on... [01:16] I am using hardy. [01:16] croSmiley, if you put your ~/bin at the beginning of $PATH .. then your script (if it is called opera) will be called instead of the one at /usr/bin/opera [01:17] dr_willis: that's not a bad suggestion, i should probably try it that way [01:17] ehtom, whats on the other disk? if you are so worried about its mbr you could back up its mbr with the proper 'dd' command.. [01:17] windows has tools to recover its mbr also. [01:17] Anyone have any experience with TrueCrypt? [01:17] or theres that super-grub boot disk. [01:17] need a quick app to test dead pixels on a new LCD. just need it to show me fullscreen white/black/red/green/blue etc. on windows there's a "dead pixel buddy" app that does exactly this. anyone know of something similar in ubuntu?

(I am using hardy) [01:17] !drugs [01:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about drugs [01:18] I have XP with TrueCrypt + its boot loader right now, if i installed Ubuntu, i should probably get rid of encryption then re encrypt it right?

[01:18] dr_willis: I have a rescue cd for linux, but not windows... yeah I could fix windows using its own rescue disk but iirc its a complete pain (i've had to do that before :S_ [01:18] gmoore, ya could use wine with your windows app ai guess.. [01:18] s/_/)/; [01:18] hubar: Have you tried it already? [01:18] how can i install my laptops dial-up modem? [01:18] ehtom, with windows ive just booted xp cd to rescue mode.. 'fixmbr' and/or 'fixboot' done... reboot.. [01:18] you can easily fix your mbr with "mbr fix" [01:18] Strife89: I have it installed already. [01:18] can someone tell me, how to grep links from a certain site out of a file? what i mean is something like this: grep xyz file > list. in list i want only the links to that site. without simple command.

[01:20] Swenghk, You may want to check the xchat help/homepage for some irc basics tutorials. [01:20] Yes then, that should work, thats what i use as well [01:20] mizipzor, not all X apps support resuming .. but have a look at the gnome-sessions-properties command [01:20] join is a comman EVERY client understands. see rpc [01:20] /join #ubuntu-offtopic [01:20] Swenghk: actually, /join does just join another channel, it doesnt switch, you would still be here [01:20] unop: thanks [01:21] mizipzor, gnome-session-properties [01:21] criminy: try winFF http://www.winff.org/ [01:21] unop: tab completion helped me with that one ;) [01:22] gmoore: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/08/26/find-and-fix-dead-pixels-with-your-browser/ [01:22] What do I have to do to be able to chat in other rooms?

[01:37] I see he is connected to 192.168.1.6 [01:37] <[gquit]bombadil_> rw: its a WMI command, i'm not sure how you can issue them under linux. i normally just use netscan.exe on windows [01:37] SELECT * FROM ipaddress :P [01:37] I'm getting 'error while reading block at sector 1444310' when trying to copy an ext3 partition, even if I checked for badblocks using fsck.

[01:58] unop, okay [01:58] 'unop' what problem you think i'm having?????????// [01:58] croSmiley, did you restart your terminal?

[01:59] is it possible to drag and drop to quod libet ? [01:59] unop: whats login shell? i dont think terminal is.. [02:00] neo__, how about libpostproc-dev ? [02:00] I have 2 xorg processes, each taking up >100MB of RAM. WTF? [02:00] unop thats already installed [02:01] unop: anyway i will stick with .bashrc for now... [02:01] neo__, verify that it is indeed installed. dpkg -l 'libpostproc-dev' [02:01] croSmiley, did you log out and log back in? [02:01] unop: hehe # ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells. [02:02] unop: nope, i didnt. yeah that must be it [02:02] !logs [02:02] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [02:02] croSmiley, if you login .. ~/.profile is sourced and all your apps are aware of this env. var [02:02] Is there a command I can issue that will open a folder in a window something like start . from windows [02:02] CodeWar, nautilus . [02:03] unop, you rock! tnx [02:03] unop: yeah makes sense, thats ok. it would be nice to set it every time i run terminal... [02:03] My favorite shortcuts have become [Alt]+[F2] (Linux) and [Windows]+[R] (Windows). :) [02:03] unop: i mean wouldnt [02:04] Strife89: me too.. I often alt-f2 stuff because it's faster that navigating through the menus.. [02:04] croSmiley, errm, log out and log back in .. open up a terminal and check $PATH .. you'll see it set, because the terminal inherits the var. from it's parent which inherits it from gnome-session which sources ~/.profile [02:05] Strife89, zcat[1]: no deskbar love? [02:05] jrib: I still use the deskbar. [02:05] yeah, only for the stuff I use most though [02:06] unop: great, i go log out... i sure learned a lot just by wanting to set Alt+F2 alias :) hehe [02:06] jrib: Mainly for launching Firefox, Pidgin, Evolution, and the good 'ol Terminal. [02:06] ack [02:06] Is there a way I can start applications from the shell using the associated applications. for example somescript a.pdf will open pdf files with acrobat [02:06] Back* [02:06] my friend just installed ubuntu and is getting "Enter help for a list of commands"... what should he do? [02:06] CodeWar: gnome-open [02:06] where is he at? === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [02:07] what is HAL doing ? [02:07] CodeWar, xdg-open file.pdf [02:07] is it just me or is the display settings moved in the latest ubuntu? [02:07] SOT (slightly off topic): In Windows, rename a shortcut to something short and memorable (like "firefox"). Move or copy the shortcut to "C:\Windows\System32". Now, if you type the name of the shortcut in the Run box, it'll load the shortcut's target. [02:07] * chrometiger using 8.04, im adding a panel, and check expand but my panel takes up the whole width of the desktop, how can i correct this ?? [02:07] meoblast001: sounds like busybox.. aka install is fubar.. try installing again perhaps? [02:07] please help before my friend hates ubuntu [02:07] D: [02:07] zcat[1]: i guess he'll now hate ubuntu.. he'll probably decide to stick with windows now [02:08] So, if I wanted to load Firefox now, I use [Windows]+[R], "firefox". Presto. :) [02:08] meoblast001: happens.. [02:08] zcat[1]: he used wubi [02:09] meoblast001: hmmm.. have only used wubi once, it worked ok for me.. but I've heard horror stories. I assume he can still boot windows and uninstall it? [02:09] Strife89, or just add the location of the shortcut to %PATH% [02:09] Ubuntu isn't for the faint of heart. The terminal can can be daunting to a new user, and requires Patience and mental strength-osity. [02:09] xD [02:09] zcat[1]: i hope [02:09] im using 8.04, im adding a panel, and check expand but my panel takes up the whole width of the desktop, how can i correct this ?? [02:10] zcat[1]: he's angry [02:10] unop: Not sure what you mean by that..... [02:10] What exactly is the problem? [02:10] Strife89, http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml [02:10] unop: path works fine, script runs fine, now i just need to fix new problem that is when i start opera it doesn't have no title bar at all and is above gnome-panel... hehe [02:11] Can wubi be used to run ubuntu long term or short term? [02:11] meoblast001: does the live cd boot ok on his machine? I'd have tested that before doing anything else... [02:11] please forget my useless question... Verified a lot of things, restarted sound system, etc... but one of the channel of alsa mixer was mute... [02:11] !2700 [02:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about 2700 [02:11] I have 2 xorg processes, each taking up >100MB of RAM. What should I do? [02:11] croSmiley, errm, i don't use gnome .. but try ALT+SPACE to get to the window menu . you can then maximise the window [02:12] zcat[1]: he doesnt have a live cd [02:12] unop: Oh, I see. That might serve useful for me...... :) [02:12] unop: Thanks again, by the way. [02:12] How can I read the USB Port for data? Is it possible to read it as a Serial Port? [02:12] I'm going to have to post here again. I need to know what a computer is downloading (http, torrent, ...) on my local network. How can I do that? [02:12] Strife89, yw again .. :( [02:12] Strife89, errm :) [02:12] zcat[1]: does the live cd have an easy install mode for installing along side windows? cuz he would never want to repartition [02:13] meoblast001: Oh. well I'm sure he'll be able to boot into windows and add/remove uninstall ubuntu. and he might have better luck playing with the live cd [02:13] Wubi sucks, apparently. [02:13] zcat[1]: he'll probably not want to use ubuntu at all now [02:13] meoblast001, i believe wubi is available on the live CD [02:13] is there a way to restrict user's abilities in Ubuntu, like prevent them from using the web? [02:13] WastePotato: it does [02:13] unop: wubi will probably brick his pc [02:13] Something like "parental controls"? [02:13] meoblast001: the live cd can do wubi as well, but if it didn't work this time it probably still won't work [02:13] hey i got a movie on an .iso [02:13] its a dvd [02:13] i dont want wubi [02:13] how do i play it with mplayer [02:13] hi i am making a website that uses php and javascript [02:13] can someone tell me [02:14] ross`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:14] meoblast001, if you want linux (ubuntu) to run alongside windows -- have a look at andlinux [02:14] meoblast001, how would wubi brick his PC? (noting that brick is a loose term) [02:14] zcat[1]: im talking about when you get to the partitioning stage, to have an option to install while retaining windows without all the manual partitioning [02:14] i want a editor that can highlight both of these on the same document and is smart about indents [02:14] unop: it deleted HAL.dll on my system back when i had windows [02:14] any ideas? [02:15] meoblast001: just do manual partitioning [02:15] create your etc3 partition with mount point / [02:15] and create a swap partition [02:15] then thats it [02:15] ross`: how is my friend going to know how to do that.. he grew up with winxp [02:15] hey guys...i used the livecd to recover a hddrive... I used fdisk -l but didn't get anything [02:15] 2gb [02:15] ross`: well.. windows [02:15] grizlo42, i believe gedit can do this .. gvim surely can [02:15] meoblast001: yeah, the installer will autoresize windows but I wouldn't entirely trust it.. some OEM installs do 'weird shit' with the disks that confuses the installer and then things can go really wrong. [02:16] meoblast001, hmm, lots of people use wubi now and don't have complaints about it -- yours could have been an edge-case [02:16] is there a way to stop from having to type in my pw when my wifi comes on? it keeps needing access to the locked keyring [02:16] no gedit only supports one highlighting at a time and it doesn't seem to know indents either [02:16] i cant get ubuntu to use both my lcdscreen and laptop display as displays for the desktop.. i want the desktop to continue from the lcd onto the laptop display [02:16] Syco54645_AAO: delete that keyring and make a new one.. don't enter a password, and confirm you really do want a keyring with no password whn it asks [02:17] zcat[1]: where do i delete the keyring at? [02:17] grizlo42, gvim or xemacs (front-ends to vim and emacs respectively) do this .. you could check them out .. there's also bluefish which is dedicated to just html/css (not sure about php) [02:18] zcat[1]: does it present this option in a nice easy to understand way.... remember this is a windows user that is going to be using this [02:18] Syco54645_AAO: obvious caveat; you will then have a keyring with no password and anybody could read it ;) system > preferences > encryption and keyrings [02:18] if fdisk shows nothing, does that mean the drive is broken [02:18] SixfortyNine, depends on how you use fdisk exactly [02:18] zcat[1]: yeah, that is fine. thanks [02:18] fdisk 0l [02:18] -l [02:19] i am looking into gvim right now [02:19] Syco54645_AAO: I had to file a bug report. damn gnome developers implimented it with no option for passwordless keyrings...

[02:22] read this http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/04/libdvdcss2-and-w32codecs-for-ubuntu/ [02:22] its not letting me load the vob files [02:22] DiffyQ replace xorg.conf with the previous version [02:23] How can I find the previous version?

[02:23] aeeeeghhh your statement was kind of vague [02:23] ross`: if your trying to play a dvd just do dvd:\\ to play [02:23] ross`: ok, you should be able to put a disk in and have it autoplay, or play when you doubleclick the disk in nautilus.. [02:24] DiffyQ : should be at /etc/X11 [02:24] ross`: personally I'd install vlc, it does a much btter job handling the dvd menus [02:24] http://www.ubuntuhq.com/content/new-security-hole-vlc-video-player [02:24] Oh, gedit saved it. [02:24] ross': vlc is best [02:24] One second.

[02:26] the funny thing is 'copy protection' has never prevented anyone from copying DVD's .. you can make bit-perfect copies and of course they play just fine.

It keeps crashing on me. i ran "which openoffice" and it told me where it was. i tried "sudo apt-get remove openoffice" and it said it couldn't find the file :/ [02:33] avuton: the default is a vanilla kernel === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [02:33] Vanilla is nice. [02:33] :P [02:33] #requiem @ fansub-irc.org [02:33] I have a bit of an emergency... I accidentally (wrong syntax in an SCP) managed to over-write a variety of important BIN files -- like ls, rm, mkdir, etc :) ---- I am hoping there is a fairly painless way to --- restore this? I fear that if I reboot/turn off the computer --- I will not be in good shape :) [02:33] danbhfive: you're saying there's no ubuntu patches in the ubuntu kernel? [02:33] avuton: oh, i bet there are [02:34] hello, does anyone know the BEST graphical programming tool to create simple applications of your own desighn? [02:34] How do i look what programs are using a file [02:34] Anyone? How can I restore rm/ls/etc --- fairly painlessly ? [02:34] ive got a locked file and need to find out what is using it [02:34] vassler: maybe glade is what you are looking for [02:35] CapaH: install BusyBox === embe is now known as Guest8551 [02:35] How do I install the new version of Pidgin? [02:35] danbhfive: thank you. [02:35] jrwr, fuser or lsof [02:36] vassler- python is very good to start out with [02:36] CapaH, reinstall coreutils [02:36] coreutils -- gotcha [02:36] is there a channel for help with Maple? [02:36] im looking for a way for the login/welcome screen to appear after inactivity - say 5mins then screensaver, 10mins login screen - kind of like the lock screen but the full out login/welcome [02:36] unop: apt-get reinstall coreutils [02:36] Are there any good replacements for Evolution Calendar or Lighting (thunderbird extension) [02:37] CapaH, make that aptitude instead [02:37] CapaH, or apt-get install --reinstall coreutils [02:37] Hi. I'm having a lot of trouble getting an external monitor set up on my laptop. [02:37] Aeron_wwap: openoffice.org-calc is the OpenOffice.org office suite - spreadsheet package [02:37] When I boot, I get a message saying that Ubuntu is running in "low graphics mode." [02:37] what pkg is aoss stilling under, im trying to get a older program to be forced into using ALSA, (it likes to only use /dev/dsp) [02:37] How do I get virtualbox working when the kernel module says it's bustedz? [02:38] What this seems to mean is 800x600 with messed-up fonts. [02:38] legend2440, what would be the package name? i'm not even sure that "apt-get remove" is the correct way to uninstall just so that i can reinstall it [02:38] RyanPrior: get it from the website [02:38] I'm using a Dell XPS M1330 with a GeForce 8400M GS. [02:38] danbhfive: Is there a package, or do I have to hack it together myself? [02:39] does anyone know of a Linux version of Visio or a program similar? [02:39] Aeron_wwap, you trying to remove open office? [02:39] Aeron_wwap, or reinstall it even? [02:39] unop, yeah. Open Office Calc keeps crashing on me. started doing that this morning. i don't know what to do to determine why it is crashing [02:39] Unfortunately aptitude reinstall coreutils is not working -- it is crashing because it expects certain functions like rm to work [02:39] Maybe the ATI produced driver off their website will work. [02:40] his father was pointing at you? [02:40] gregbrady: Are you talking to me? [02:40] unop, every time i try to print something in Calc a box pops up saying that OO crashed, it then tries to "recover" the file, which is always successful (or so it seems), then the same thing happens again [02:41] Aeron_wwap, something like this should do. sudo aptitude reinstall '~i openoffice.org' [02:41] DiffyQ, no, I asked a question earlier. I was just commenting on my own question. [02:41] DiffyQ: have you enabled the restricted driver?.. i see you're using Nvidia [02:41] http://www.pastebin.ca/1191043 <--- This is what happens when I try to reinstall coreutils -- can anyone help? [02:41] Yes, I [02:41] I'm pretty sure I have. [02:41] Aeron_wwap, it might not rectify the problem .. but try it out, see what happens [02:41] Is there a quick way to check? [02:41] good evening all [02:41] DiffyQ: system/admin/hardware drivers.. see if nvidia is checked and enabled [02:41] DiffyQ, system->administration->hardware drivers [02:42] unop, is there a way to "reinstall" a package with apt, instead of removing it then installing it again? [02:42] Oh, it's unchecked for some reason. [02:42] sadly, my driver doesnt even show up in there XD [02:42] DiffyQ, check it [02:42] DiffyQ: ok, well, check it and you'll be signaled to restart [02:42] Huh, wonder how that happened. [02:42] I've done this before. [02:43] Aeron_wwap, yea, like i showed you. sudo aptitude reinstall packageglob [02:43] IndyGunFreak, i have a somewhat similar (i think) problem, do you have a bit of free time? [02:43] Why doesn't Virtualbox update in Ubuntu when the kernel does? [02:43] strategy: shoot. [02:43] unop, okay, thanks [02:43] IndyGunFreak, i cant get 1024x768 to work. details at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=907797 [02:43] CapaH, heh .. you've got yourself into quite a mess with your carelessness there .. hold on [02:43] IndyGunFreak, my xorg.conf looks sort of messed up [02:44] anyone here have experience with twinview? [02:44] !NTFS-3g [02:44] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [02:44] strategy: thats cuz intel sucks.. i don't have a lot of experiencing configuring xorg to get them to look right.. [02:44] reportingsjr: yes. [02:44] IndyGunFreak, ok :( [02:45] unop, i wonder what the actual package name for Open Office Calc is? [02:45] I have a laptop, where do I go to configure the built-in microphone? [02:45] IndyGunFreak, is there any way I can make it act like two x screens, like xinerama, so that way full screen isn't across all screens? [02:45] unop: Yes - I know :) [02:45] are there any programs that act like visual basic and uses perl programming language? [02:45] IndyGunFreak, or should I just switch to twinview when I want to play games and such across all screens? [02:45] reportingsjr: yes, it should be an option under Nvidia-settings [02:45] Aeron_wwap, that command i gave you will reinstall all openoffice packages including calc [02:45] IndyGunFreak, really, I didn't see it? what is it called? [02:45] !visio [02:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about visio [02:46] Aeron_wwap, but incase you want to know . openoffice.org-calc or openoffice.org2-calc [02:46] reportingsjr: ... im not at my PC, i can't recall exactly [02:46] hooray, ubuntu is a joy; debian's versatility with a modern eye for comfortable design and convenient features [02:46] reportingsjr: open nvidia-settings, select a monitor, and click "configure".. i think its under configure [02:46] IndyGunFreak, =\ [02:46] !mic [02:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about mic [02:46] !microphone [02:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about microphone [02:46] Ok, I will try again another time. [02:46] gregbrady: which ati card? [02:46] IndyGunFreak, only a twinview option, plus two others there [02:46] vassler, activestate have some pretty good perl IDEs - komodo for example .. but not entirely free [02:47] whast the two options.. disable, and what else? [02:47] I am having one problem on my new installation though: it seems like the whole thing crashes periodically... the screen simply goes black and I have to do a hard reset [02:47] What does comprise the project 'Evolution-sharp'? http://build.gnome.org/evolution-sharp/ [02:47] Meshezabeel: What is it you're trying to do with the microphone exactly? [02:47] unop: i don't understand? [02:47] IndyGunFreak, and.. separate x screen, but isn't that xinerama? [02:47] unop, thank you,i had not seen the command you gave me because the page was moving so fast :D [02:47] vassler, ask in #perl [02:48] hmm, maybe [02:48] how to connect sony ericssion k850i [02:48] okay. [02:48] could you guys help me troubleshoot this issue? That is, I know the information about what's crashing should be there in my logs, but I don't know where to look. [02:48] anyone know a program like visio but for linux (UBUNTU)? [02:48] vasler, when you say act like VB, do you mean have a gui building workspace? you should check out BoaConstructor for python [02:48] isn't there a tool to scan all wireless connection around me? [02:48] arquebus, he did say perl [02:48] Okay, I did that and now the monitor doesn't work at all. [02:48] unop- oops oh yeah [02:48] DiffyQ: well thats unusual..

This might mean you need to manually fix this package. [02:56] Is there a way to cascade all the windows?

Imma go now [02:57] Bai Bai [02:57] :) [02:57] danbhfive: doesnt work [02:57] unop, i don't know how to get the terminal to spit out what is happening as Open Office Calc is running. and the crashing is occuring when i do anything with the printing :/ [02:57] Tried it [02:57] Bye wasted [02:58] CapaH, errm. yea, i've run into this before and the only way it seems to fix it, was to manually download the packages and install them by hand -- a real pain [02:58] Anyone here have experience with (intel) graphics cards, weird 1024x768 errors, etc? I'm kind of screwed atm, i'd really appriciate some help [02:58] lol_udied: what doesnt work? [02:58] fun :) [02:59] how do you test if you HD is bad [02:59] CapaH, well, it could be that your problem is fixed just by reinstalling coreutils -- so, it might be safe to continue working with the system. [02:59] Aeron_wwap, you don't have to do anything .. if calc crashes then, it will spit out error messages to the terminal [02:59] Strategy what's wrong? [02:59] SixfortyNine: it might be fsck -c [03:00] zeus, everything works well in 800x600 mode, however when i try to move to 1024x768, the screen either scrolls and flickers crazily and rapidly, or it just takes up a tiny portion of the screen [03:00] unop it didn't spit anything out to the terminal for me. i ran the program from the main menu, not by starting it from the terminal. the only thing in my terminal is what i had there before [03:00] zeus, my conf file & more info @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=907797 [03:00] danbhfive : can you do that with ntfs [03:00] how would I change the size of icons on toolbars in ubuntu? i have a 1920x1200 display that's being viewed from a distance, and the gui is largely unusable. the checkboxes for example are so small that you can't really tell if they're checked or not without getting really close [03:00] strategy: I think those should just work. You may have better luck filing a bug on launchpad. I talked with someone earlier, claiming similar troubles [03:01] pc suit for ubuntu 64 ??? [03:01] Aeron_wwap, start it from the terminal .. that way if it does spit out an error you can catch it [03:01] danbhfive, ok.. [03:01] Whenver I open Firefox 3.0 in Ubuntun 8.04 I get an error, "Could not initialize the application's ssecurity component." How do I fix this? [03:03] Ok, I tried downloading ATIs video drivers for Linux and the instructions for installation just don't work. [03:03] Greg, try Envy [03:03] it looks like ati support sucks on ubuntu [03:03] lemme find the URL on that [03:03] danbhfive, yeah, pretty much.

[03:06] unop, when i do "which oocalc" it shows me where it's at, when i run "oocalc" nothing happens [03:07] On Ubuntu Server, 8.04, where do I place library files for LAMP webserver? [03:07] legend2440, which one worked? Catalyst 8 or Ubuntu? [03:07] Aeron_wwap, hmm, nothing at all? [03:07] unop, yeap, nothing [03:07] unop, no error messages, nothing [03:07] hi [03:08] Aeron_wwap, strange. check to see if there are any hung instances. ps aux | grep calc [03:08] gregbrady: i am using the ubuntu drivers now but i got the ati propritary drivers to work with Method 2 [03:08] legend2440, Thanks! I'll try Method 2 [03:08] what is your name? [03:08] gregbrady: good luck [03:09] legend2440, yes, I need it apparently. [03:09] hello [03:09] gregbrady: yes ati drivers can be a pain [03:09] hi, than [03:10] my name is thanhtuan#ubuntu [03:10] how do you create a simple server with ubuntu [03:10] ? [03:10] I have the desktop version involved [03:10] ... [03:10] legend2440, yeah, I'm reading method 2 and I'm not sure I follow it all. === phil is now known as kodger [03:11] stkoosh, what kind of server are you looking for? file/print. web/emai. [03:11] How do I put the "window close" X in windows on the left hand side, again? [03:11] gregbrady: its mostly cut and paste the commands into the terminal [03:11] er, close window [03:11] legend2440, I have 4 more machines with the same card....what a pain. [03:11] just to host a website...etc...or ftp [03:11] I would prefer a website [03:12] legend2440, is it not just easier to use a Linux distro with ATI working by default? [03:12] gregbrady: if you have any questions PM me [03:12] unop, the reason it would not start in the terminal is that it had crashed earlier and i didn't realize that a 'recovery' window was still open [03:12] <[Ex0r]> Hello guys, how do I get ubuntu to automatically use my w ireless network connection on-boot up? (Every time I restart, I have to reset my wireless network connection for it to work) [03:12] Aeron_wwap, makes sense. [03:12] stkoosh, then all you need is apache, mysql, and php (LAMP) [03:12] unop, i am pasting the output from starting the program, then will paste output when it crashes/closes, both in pastebin :D [03:12] Aeron_wwap, okie === crazy is now known as Guest36841 [03:13] gregbrady: which ati card do you have? [03:13] is there no one to help me [03:13] so just go to the synaptic package manager and search and install all three? [03:13] legend2440, X200 Xpress [03:13] navjot, what do you need help with? [03:13] stkoosh, that you you can use apt-get [03:14] unop, here is the output when starting oocalc in the terminal -> http://pastebin.com/m2e94815 [03:14] How do I put the "close window" X in windows on the left hand side, again? [03:14] really [03:14] just sudo apt-get and type in that name... [03:14] php [03:14] hey guys... im having some odd sound probs. on a fresh and updated install, the sound stops working but the sounds at the login screen are fine. this is the second time i am reinstalling 8.04.1 and this is happening. [03:14] mysql [03:14] jgedeon i want to connect my k850i phone in ubuntu hardy [03:14] Aeron_wwap, hmm .. close all instances of calc and try this. gksu oocalc [03:14] <[Ex0r]> anyone mind telling me ? [03:15] if i rm -r'd something on an NTFS drive, can i recover it? [03:15] Aeron_wwap, let me know if that works [03:15] unop, ok [03:15] gregbrady: what happens if you just enable the ubuntu drivers? [03:15] navjot, Sorry can't help with that one. [03:15] arrrghhh, not sure that can be done on linux -- but there are many undelete programs that are available for windows - ask in ##windows for more [03:15] legend2440, which ones? that stock ones? compiz runs slow as hell. [03:16] I cannot figure out how to install the restriced ones [03:16] stkoosh, yes sudo apt-get install php mysql apache [03:16] well i used a windows data recovery program (in windows) and it found a buncha stuff i deleted, but nothing from the most recent rm -r debacle. [03:16] is there any good way to watch the CPU use of one specific program? [03:16] CShadowRun, system monitor [03:16] arrrghhh, not sure then. [03:16] CShadowRun, or top\ [03:16] gregbrady you can download the latest from ATI's website [03:17] CShadowRun, you can do that with top [03:17] ovoskeuiks_, yes, but the install directions do not work [03:17] R_YoYo_R yea system monitor uses enough resources to play a direct3d game twice, and top constantly shuffles the results so it's really hard to track one process [03:17] gregbrady: Method 2 is instructions for the ati website drivers [03:17] jgedeon | one thing more -- i downloaded blender and it is .tar.bz2 file so how i use it [03:17] Hi. Can someone please tell me of some java desktop email client that I can use on ubuntu and on windows machine on work, other that columba (that has stopped being developed)? [03:18] thanx [03:18] navjot, you have to untar it and then install it. [03:18] unop, running "gksu oocalc" didn't work for me. the administrative password i tried was not correct. running "sudo oocalc" let it start up, as usual, with the crash when i try to print [03:18] navjot, that's a "tar" command [03:18] legend2440, yes, but as I said, they are very involved and I have 4 machines to do. I'd rather just switch to a distro that works with ATI stock. [03:18] If that is even possible. the other machines have wireless issues as well. [03:18] gregbrady: have you tried Envy? [03:19] how it works [03:19] unop, the password i used for sudo was correct, the one for gksu (i thought it would be the same) did not work [03:19] Aeron_wwap, gksu should ask for your password. actually [03:19] navjot, tar xzf FILENAME [03:19] gregbrady what instructions are you using to install the drivers? [03:19] unop, right, it did ask me for my password (as does sudo), but the password i typed didn't work :D [03:19] Aeron_wwap, maybe call it like this then. gksu oocalc [03:19] navjot, "tar" works like this: "tar -xjvf " [03:19] ovoskeuiks_, I tried the ATI instructions. [03:20] !ati [03:20] FreePops does not seem ti work. Just installed it using Synaptic. I setup thunderbird per the instructions. I go to check mail and I get this error: " Could not connect to server localholst; the connection was refused" I did this typical login logout after install but no luck. I can I tell if FreePops is running? [03:20] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:20] ovoskeuiks_, I looked at the Ubuntu ones supplied by legend and they are very different and involved [03:20] stompr, that'd a really odd looking name for an archive. :) [03:20] unop, you already typed that command earlier, it doesn't work for me because i don't know the password for gksu (but i do know the password for sudo) [03:20] <[Ex0r]> so nobody knows how to get network configuration to automatically 'unlock' the settings? [03:20] it should be a case of ./ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_64.run then aticonfig --initial [03:21] im having a problem with a WG311T net-gear card [03:21] Aeron_wwap, use the same password you use for sudo with gksudo ..

[04:16] spanish [04:16] Guest689: Turn the monitor brightness down, set your hard drive to turn off sooner, etc. [04:16] Guest19018: possibly the hardware for controlling the power levels is propriatory and only Windows Vista has a driver that knows it all [04:16] Guest689: Because Vista sucks out your soul to power the computer. [04:16] would any one be able to help me with this? I've had to use vista for the past week and I cannot stand it any longer [04:16] Serberus: Hay #ubuntu-es. [04:16] MultiFinder17, its the other way round [04:17] dmwit, how can i do that? [04:17] MultiFinder17, vista has better battery life [04:17] Guest689: Monitor brightness controls are usually on the keyboard. === rredd4 is now known as rredd4|afk [04:17] Guest689: Power options are available under the "System" menu. [04:18] dmwit, i saw the power options, but they dont let you change much [04:18] I can't tell you exactly where, I haven't seen the Gnome desktop in more than a year, but it should be pretty recognizable. [04:18] Guest689: Like I said; Vista sucks your life essence to add to the life of the computer. [04:18] are mini pci or usb wifi cards easy to install??

[04:22] I read up :P [04:22] so anyone??? i need a new wifi card... which is easier to install in ubuntu from a notebook?? [04:22] Mr_Fixit: Atheros [04:22] I have set up my wireless card WPC54G and i have a linksys router.. it shows this router in my wireless networks but i cannot seem to connect [04:22] but mini pci, usb or pcmi? [04:22] nehogo: Is your wireless card listed in the interfaces in the Network Manager? [04:22] Mr_Fixit: Or, if your notebook takes Mini PCIe cards, Intel [04:23] screamer: "Can't connect" means you can connect to the router but not the Internet, or that you can't even get on the router's network? [04:23] piknet.org [04:23] dmwit: Yes, but i don't find them. [04:23] dmwit: I believe so, I reccently switched to wireless and when I installed the drivers it installed correclty to my knowledge, just connecting is the porblem [04:23] i cannot even connect to the routers network but it shows it in my wireless networks [04:24] screamer: Does it give you an error message? [04:24] no it just keeps attempting [04:24] nehogo: Please check. [04:24] ok thanks I will brb [04:24] Hmmm. Weird people tonight. [04:25] ok, i installed openssh-server on my ubuntu server, then used ssh-keygen -t rsa. then i copied those to my windows machine, i'm trying to use the putty key generator thing to import the key.. passphrases match, i use that to generate the private key. tried to login with putty using that private key -> and it says 'Server refused our key.' and continues to ask me for a pw [04:25] i checked, key auth is turned on for the server [04:25] i don't know why it's not working, anyone able to help? [04:25] screamer: How's the signal strength? Is it a secured network? [04:26] dmwit: signal strength excellent and no non secured [04:27] Can anyone give me their kernel config _please_?

[04:27] like seriously. you people waaaaay overacted. [04:27] yes correct i am set to roaming [04:27] IPNixon: We have a process for complaints. The IRC council, and then the Community council. If you feel the need to, please take your complaints there. [04:28] screamer: Can you try setting it to manual and putting in the ESSID of the router? [04:28] NAZIOPZ [04:28] Serberus: eh? [04:28] Intense. [04:28] IPNixon: Please stop, take offtopic chatter elsewhere. [04:28] ok i will try be right back [04:28] this isn't offtopic, they're in here [04:28] that makes it ontopic [04:29] Flannel: thanks for keeping it clean in here [04:29] looking for a program that will back up my www files and db's then ftp up to another server automatically , any one know of any ? [04:29] rsync is a tried and true [04:29] cron is nice, too [04:29] bubaphex: bash scripts! :D lol [04:30] bubaphex, look at backuppc or one of the others. [04:30] dmwit: I appreciate a clean #ubuntu as much as you do; I'm only being selfish ;) [04:30] how do i open .uif compressed files in ubuntu? archive manager doesn't work [04:30] anyone know where openssh server keeps it's logs? [04:30] haven't a bit of an issue connecting with keys [04:30] thanks jgedeon === rredd4|afk is now known as rredd4 [04:32] mordof: A quick glance through the output of "locate ssh" suggests it may not keep logs. But that doesn't sound right. [04:33] can someone u[load their /kernel config from /boot ? [04:33] wthww_: Have you got a specific file? [04:33] mordof: check /var/log/auth.log [04:34] dmwit: that didnt work it still does not let me connect [04:34] dmwit: I what /boot/config- [04:34] i am getting kernel hangs on resume from S3 suspend; how can I troubleshoot this?

[04:35] Pici: it's in there... em.. also with other things, so i don't really know what i'm looking for - it doesn't seem to show that it's refusing the key [04:35] screamer: Not sure what it might be. [04:35] screamer: Does "iwconfig" look sane? [04:35] Hey Flannel, what would you do for a klondike bar? [04:35] I would do *anything* ... [04:36] Will modules for 2.6.24-21-kernel ever come when it comes to virtualbox? [04:36] Aeroraptor: Please take non-support related conversations to another channel. [04:36] lol [04:36] wthww_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/42589/ [04:36] hmm, i feel like a klondike bar right now [04:36] danke [04:36] frozen desserts don't count as ubuntu support topics?!?!?!?!?

[04:46] dmwit: yes. fresh install [04:46] i have kind of the same problem like vfff. but my problem is that the disk doesnt wanna boot after the menu screen. it just tells me something like "O/O Cant Recognize Boot" or something like that [04:46] bluefoxx: Look for the window decorations extension. [04:47] dmwit: kk, wait [04:47] bluefoxx: what speed you write at? [04:47] has anybody achieved to read hotmail from thunderbird? [04:47] screamer: huh? [04:47] ismael_: Try the penultimate option, check CD for defects or verify the integrity [04:48] woli: You have to use a HTML scraper (unless you have an old, old hotmail account, or pay extra). There are a few in the repos. [04:48] any reason that i keep finding myexit, notification area and clock on the taskbar all shuffled around too? [04:48] flannel: i did try to check that, but it gave me that error thing. it says "I/O Disk Error" or so [04:48] anyone could help me with a little problem here? I have ubuntu server running...and I want to connect to it with navicat from windows clients...but i get connection refused...I did an iptables -F but no luck, so i spose is not a ports problem...anyone have an idea? thanks. [04:48] Flannel, i use webmail + hotmail extensions [04:48] bluefoxx: Do you keep changing your screen resolution? [04:48] My router is giving me an IPv6 address... can someone help me here? [04:49] but i get the "Could not connect to server localhost: the connection was refused" [04:49] ismael_: That's a bad burn then. Verify the md5 of your iso, and then burn again, at the slowest speed you can [04:49] dmwit: no. keeping it at 1152x864@75[since it wont let me do 1280x960@72 without hacking xorg.conf] [04:49] dmwit: the window decorations extension is on [04:50] vfff: How did you burn the CD? Once you have a booted OS, if you look at the CD, do you see a single file? or a number of them> [04:50] i verfied my burn and it still wont boot. but mac os X reads from the disc fine :( [04:50] anyone know how to change my router from giving me an IPv6 address??? [04:50] hey all, does anyone know if conky has a multiple rss feed ability? [04:51] dmwit: but i still have no borders/title bars [04:51] vfff: ah. Ok, its not a CD issue then. I believe you should hold 'c' or command-c to boot to a CD [04:51] Flannel: i am doing that [04:51] both of those [04:51] is nehogo [04:51] vfff: it does nothing. [04:51] How can I prevent a certain module, snd_usb_audio, from loading? [04:51] change its name [04:52] lol don't [04:52] Debolaz: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-* [04:52] I thought you were supposed to blacklist it... [04:52] l,ol [04:52] vfff: It could be a hardware issue, some websites seem to indicate that it may be faulty RAM, although I'm out of ideas at the moment. [04:52] dmwit: I'm nehogo on a different pc already connected, wireless is working now just need to find wepkey [04:52] well, Flannel, actually that is not true. there is a delay in the boot to OS X [04:52] anyone know how to change my router from giving me an IPv6 address??? [04:52] flannel: I'll do that. Thanks. if I need any more help, I'll come back. [04:52] bluefoxx: Not sure, then. What's the most recent thing you changed? [04:53] Flannel: also, when i hold down option during boot, only OS X is an option to boot into, there is no CD [04:53] shinbo: Well, I certainly can't help you there. Either you know the key or you don't. [04:53] dmwit: i dont recall...installed this afternoon and upraded/customised with a bunch of packages i had stored on my array since its too slow to download [04:54] dmwit: Thank you, trying. [04:54] dmwit: brb, im praying to the pixels that its just some weird fluke and am restarting x [04:55] My router is giving me an IPv6 address... can someone help me here? [04:55] dmwit: didnt work... [04:56] dmwit: I know I just thought I would come back here really quick to thank you for your help [04:56] shinbo: oh, heh [04:56] dmwit: ok, i disabled compiz and they come back [04:56] bluefoxx: It used to be necessary to install "emerald", the window decorator. Try looking for that, but my information might be two years out of date. [04:56] Hi every one hos it going? [04:56] can someone help me set AWN to autostart when my comp boots [04:57] bluefoxx: If you can't find emerald, take a look around the settings in the window decoration extension, try a few different themes... just generally poke around. [04:57] dmwit: but there shouldnt be any reason i cant use compiz...my card is good enough[it costed someone enough] [04:57] help me === t33x976 is now known as t33x [04:57] DOT3CH: Read up on the boot system. Key words for Google: sysvinit, init.d [04:58] linda: You'll have to be much more specific. [04:58] DOT3CH: Never mind, disregard my last comment. [04:59] DOT3CH: I assume you mean "when you log in" rather than "when the computer boots," after having seen what AWN is. =) [04:59] DOT3CH: Check out the "Sessions" dialog in the Settings menu. [04:59] hello [04:59] Is there a keybaord shortcut in nautilus to rename a file? Rather than right click - rename [04:59] Flynsarmy: F2 [04:59] dmwit: yea, after i log and get to my desktop, id like Awn to already be open instead of having to start it for each session [04:59] dmwit, Thanks [04:59] is it possible to downgrad to an LTS? [05:00] DOT3CH: Muck with your Sessions, then. [05:01] do you know off hand what command launches awn [05:01] im using ubuntu hardy and my borders of all my apps are missing and no minimize or maximize or close buttons are showing any ideas would be much appriciated thanks [05:01] alpha232: I don't think there's an easy way, sorry. =/ [05:01] alpha232: Downgrading isn't supported, no. [05:01] on Ubuntu, I can't go online while connected to my netgear wifi router. any idea? [05:01] Man, is there an FAQ or something? [05:01] Seems like about one person per 15 minutes is asking about compiz borders. [05:01] DOT3CH: There is a checkbox with awn to start it when you start I believe. [05:02] how do I know what kind of password my router has? I know the password but I dont know if its WEP, ascii or whatever [05:02] Flannel: bgger ok 7-11 and then i deal with this crp [05:02] wers: You'd have to go to your routers config and look [05:02] dmwit: is that the problem compiz is the problem for my borders? [05:02] c0rrupt0r: Turn on window decorations in compiz. [05:02] Flannel: the IP on the url? [05:03] ok surely will try thank you dmwit: [05:03] wers: its whatever your gateway is. usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 [05:05] Flannel: i couldnt find a checkbox in the awn preferences to do that, but i was thinking the same thing [05:05] My router is giving me an IPv6 address... can someone help me here? [05:07] I made shares in samba to share with my windows pc's and i can see them but cant write to them or copy anything from them so my question is how and where do I set up permissions to allow access for writing [05:07] madcreation: it depends how you created them [05:08] nvm i got it [05:08] i added them in the smb.conf file [05:08] screamer your IPv6 address is generated by default it's not coming from your router [05:08] madcreation: then that's where you set the perms [05:09] madcreation: read up on smb.conf share definitions, it should all be there. Sucks it has to be this way but that's Linux for you [05:09] ovoskeuiks: i am having wireless problems.. i can connect to my router but cannot get internet.. there is no send / recieve [05:10] I am trying to output video to my LDC tv via a HDMI cable in hardy and the only thing I'm getting on the TV is a black screen. It is getting some thing as the TV tells me if it has a signal or not. [05:10] lsd\ninja: yeah tried reading up on it but still dont see where or what to add in the file [05:11] Omoikane_: Does xrandr recognize the extra output? [05:11] how do i monitor whats happening in my network thru console? is something with "tail" i remember.....anyone know? [05:11] screamer you're not getting an IP via DHCP by the sound of it. you could try setting your IP manually [05:11] dmwit not sure. What is xrandr? [05:11] ovoskeuiks: can you help me do that [05:12] Omoikane: did you restart your computer with your tv plugged in? [05:12] Omoikane_: I'm not sure where Gnome's GUI for xrandr is. So try typing "xrandr" at the command prompt. [05:13] With an AMD Turion 64 processor in my laptop, with 1GB of ram, should I be running the 32-bit or 64-bit version? [05:13] I'm hearing mixed things. [05:13] asho79: He shouldn't need to restart the computer, right? Only X. [05:13] ok [05:13] Dave88LX: with only 1GB 64 bit probably isn't worth it [05:14] dmwit: with svideo on my comp I have to [05:14] OK, so the 64-bit isn't a "requirement" then, I can hop along just fine with 32-bit? [05:14] asho79: Have you ever tried just restarting X? [05:14] dmwit http://pastebin.com/m2cc21b0e [05:14] madcreation: you can set up what accounts have what level of access as well as set the create mask on files/dirs within the share definition block [05:14] dmwit: no, thanks for the info [05:15] hello everyone. I need some advice about proper location to place a web app (can't use /var/www). /wwwapps//www would be the apache doc root not /var/www, but where should be? i don't want to move the app once it is in use. suggestions? [05:15] tjb: Why can't you use /var/www? [05:15] dmwit that is the output for zrandr [05:15] Dave88LX: 64 bit tends to be more trouble than it's worth unless you have specific reasons for needing it [05:15] Omoikane_: Well, that looks pretty good. [05:15] Baraka Obama President !!! [05:15] kaudio: please don't do that here. This is a support channel. [05:16] dmwit why would it just show a black screen? [05:16] lsd\ninja: ok thanks alot [05:16] any on e there [05:16] whoops hi all [05:16] Thanks LSD|Ninja, that's what I was looking for [05:16] I have no specific reason to run 64, I just wasn't sure what specifically I needed [05:17] Hello. I just installed xserver-xgl on my desktop and now when X boots after gdm I just got a blank white screen. xorg log shows nothing obvious amiss. [05:17] Omoikane_: I don't know. Just for fun, do try restarting X. (There's nicer ways to do this test, but I don't understand them. =) [05:17] Omoikane_: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, after you've closed all your programs. [05:17] dmwit so just xserver --replace? [05:17] Once booted, is there anything special I need to do to get my wireless card working? I couldn't seem to get it to work before. [05:18] could someone link me a simple to understand site to connect my printer to the network so family can use my printer [05:18] Dave88LX: what wireless chip? Broadcom? [05:18] i've been googleing for a bit now [05:18] !printer [05:18] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [05:18] !samba [05:18] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [05:18] Flannel: I can't 'cause the web app dir structure contains a www folder to be served. is using a different dir than /var/www considered bad practice? [05:18] Ninja: yeah it's a Broadcom [05:18] thank you cups hase come up a few times i better do some more reading [05:18] dmwit: emerald does nothing for me [05:19] Device Manager doesn't tell me too much about it [05:19] dmwit it's the same. [05:19] "Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter" [05:19] MARIA [05:19] Omoikane__: urk [05:19] tjb: What? the app itself is not able to handle it? No, not really. You could put it a number of places, depending on what it was. [05:19] Flannel: /wwwapps// would contain many directories. it would be nice to keep them all together, for version control reasons. [05:19] bluefoxx: Can you double-check that the window decoration extension is on and running correctly? [05:19] dmwit I was able to get it to work with a vga. [05:20] dave88lx - what does 'lspci' say? [05:20] but I need that cable for other work. [05:20] Dave88LX: Broadcom can be tricky because it needs firmware that Ubuntu can't distribute. Make sure you have a wired connection handy and then check the hardware drivers (System -> Admin) panel and see if it's there otherwise install b4x-fwcutter and then check again, rebooting in between if needed [05:20] rmd6502: I have not done 'lspci' yet [05:20] is it REALLY neccesary to install ubuntu server for a simple webserver? or is it overkill? [05:21] Omoikane__: VGA cables are cheap. [05:21] would /var/wwwapps//www work do you think? would it cause issues later? (upgrades etc). i don't want to break a live application once it's running. [05:21] cotton: Definitely not. [05:21] I think it depends on the box, if the box can take the GUI then you can install ubuntu regular [05:21] Ninja: I can plug straight into the router if need be. I will install the 32-bit version back on here, and jump onto my other machine [05:21] right? [05:21] cotton: what would be overkill is to install a standard Ubuntu [05:21] dmwit: it is on but i dont know if its 'running correctly'. how should it look[other than having the bloody borders]. also, my transparency is screwed up too, terminals i could see under before now are all-white, or if compiz is off then show the section of my desktop background its over [05:21] cotton: no, its not. You can run servers on 'desktop' boxes just fine. Linux makes no differentiation ebtween 'server' and 'desktop. [05:21] dmwit yeah but was just trying to get it to work now. And now it's driving me mad. I mean it should work. [05:21] dmwit it's becoming my white wale.

[07:45] Hi folks [07:45] hey [07:46] I'm trying to prepare a usb stick in order to install ubuntu from there [07:46] zcat[1]: it was in the utorrent (under wine) gui [07:46] But it's not working... It's kinda MultiBoot usb stick [07:46] I have syslinux installed there [07:46] I followed the instructions (except I put everthing instead of in the / into /ulive maybe that's the problem?) [07:46] godmode117: sounds like they're really gone if they're not in a .Trash somewhere [07:47] * Dragon_Master screams like a maniac [07:47] I always get thrown into "busybox" [07:47] what would be the command to search the whole filesystem for .trash files? [07:47] godmode117, i'm not sure a .Trash directory is maintained for NTFS volumes -- in any case, you could probably use some undelete tools to recover files - unfortunately most of them are windows only [07:47] find / -iname "*trash" [07:48] godmode117, you might want to add a -type d to that [07:48] How do I install flashplugin for firefox [07:48] find / -iname '*trash*' -type d [07:48] It say flashplayer-mozilla and flashplugin are up to date [07:48] ntfsundelete in ntfstools package? [07:48] ill try that [07:48] !info ntfstools [07:48] Package ntfstools does not exist in hardy [07:48] I've got java installed and all, it just will not work for some reason [07:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111972 for that guide what if i have a dynamic ip?

[07:52] Kartagis, run this command. file -s /etc/cron.daily/logrotate [07:52] =/ [07:52] I think it would be a bash script..

[07:54] zcat[1], /bin/sh isn't bash :) [07:54] unop, http://pastebin.com/f74deb348 [07:54] unop: /bin/bash isn't bach either! [07:54] *bash [07:54] I've got java installed and all, it just will not work for some reason [07:55] my laptop keyboard gives me a ~ instead of a | when i press the combo to get | why is this [07:55] zcat[1], i don't know which twisted reality you're in but anyway .. :)) [07:55] afaik they're both dash (or am I wrong) [07:55] Dragon_Master: is it possible you installed firefox from mozilla.com instead of the repositories? [07:55] zcat[1], echo $SHELL :) [07:55] hmm, perhaps I'm wrong.. I thought they were both aslised to /bin/dash [07:56] only sh is. [07:56] guys guys stop fighting === mike is now known as Guest88145 [07:56] zcat[1], /bin/sh links to dash usually [07:56] Kartagis, ls -l /usr/sbin/logrotate [07:56] unop: so anyhoooo.. it's a 'sh' script [07:57] as if it makes any real difference! [07:57] zcat[1], unop: sorry to keep bothering you, but im still stuck [07:57] unop, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 38736 2006-06-19 21:21 /usr/sbin/logrotate [07:57] zcat[1], big difference .. the POSIX standard does not support bashisms [07:57] Megaqwerty, firefox 3 didn't come on repositories [07:57] xD [07:57] that I know of [07:57] it's 755 and owned by root:root [07:57] and I installed it from the site [07:57] =P [07:58] Kartagis, /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf; echo $? [07:58] Dragon_Master: that's your problem (and Firefox 3 is in the repositories) [07:58] Megaqwerty where? [07:58] error: error creating state file /var/lib/logrotate/status: Permission denied [07:58] Dragon_Master: sudo aptitude install firefox [07:58] godmode117: sorry but I'm not familiar with the ntfsutils other than being aware that they exist, really.. [07:58] maybe that's why unop [07:59] Dragon_Master: It comes default with Hardy [07:59] godmode117: try the man page for ntfsundelete? [07:59] Kartagis, try running that under sudo [07:59] Ubuntu 8.04.1 prints at boot time: "Loading kernel modules". I wonder if this has been due to the execution of /etc/init.d/module-init-tools or /etc/rc.S.d/S15module-init-tools. [07:59] bullgard4, you could grep the contents of /etc/init.d to find out [08:00] where can i look at all my systems "devices"? [08:00] unop: I will do that. [08:00] Megaqwerty, now where do I find it [08:00] xD [08:00] unop, 0 [08:00] Dragon_Master: Applications>Internet [08:00] bullgard4, and i would bet that /etc/rc.S.d/S15module-init-tools is a symlink to /etc/init.d/module-init-tools [08:01] Dragon_Master>Kubuntu [08:01] =P [08:01] Any means of extracting archives on mass? [08:01] Kartagis, hmm, strange .. ok, where did you get your error? [08:01] godmode117, lspci [08:01] I have a folder full of zip/rar archives [08:01] it no show up [08:01] steveydoteu, a for loop. [08:01] unop, in the email sent to me by anacron [08:01] unop elaborate please [08:01] Dragon_Master: It should be in your menu === firekool is now known as tuxPCtech [08:02] maybe i need to restart [08:02] xD [08:02] thanks [08:02] Dragon_Master: if you know how to add a menu item, add one with the command being "firefox" (without the quotes) === eric is now known as Guest82823 [08:02] Kartagis, maybe it's just a one off [08:02] it stopped auto show up when I got KDE4 [08:02] =P [08:03] unop, what do you mean? [08:03] im looking for the device list that would have hardrives [08:03] can some one just help me with skype? just want to test my webcam? [08:03] Dragon_Master: fine, I'll give you a workaround because I need to leave in like 5 mins [08:04] steveydoteu, for i in *.{zip,rar}; do if [[ ${i##*.} == 'zip' ]]; then echo unzip "$i"; else echo unrar "$i"; fi; done [08:04] steveydoteu, remove the echos if you are happy with how the commands will be executed === Guest82823 is now known as PlayEdUdE [08:05] unop at the end, fi, should that be if? [08:05] slamFIST, thank you, worked find. [08:05] steveydoteu, no, fi marks the end of an if .. then .. else .. block. [08:05] Megaqwerty, now it doesn't open [08:05] .< [08:06] .< [08:06] Dragon_Master: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:06] Kartagis, i mean, the cronjob could have failed just once .. not necessarily an indication that something is seriously wrong. [08:06] Kartagis, unless off course you get many emails from cron with the same problem. [08:07] unop it just outputs a list of the archives, i presume thats all the echo i would get though? [08:07] unop, I do [08:07] ubuntu rox!!! [08:07] actually unop thats all it has done [08:07] Hello... I have captured some vids from a cam and burnt them as .mpg on to a DVD disc. But when I watch it on the DVD-player (not on PC), the TV cuts the edges so I don't see the very left and right of the vid. Is there a way to fix it ? [08:07] steveydoteu. remove the echos from the command to have the script actually do the extraction [08:07] aaah [08:07] just the echo? [08:08] steveydoteu, yea, both of them, there are two there [08:08] unop: You would have won your bet. -- Thank you very much for your help. [08:08] unop, i presume i can add other archive formats also, if i have the correct packages installed? [08:09] thank you for your help, its appreciated [08:09] steveydoteu, yea sure -- though the commands to extract those files will probably be different and might need switches adding, etc === SoulSlayer is now known as anewbie [08:09] unop, I just realized one thing. /var/log/mysql.log exists but /var/log/mysql/mysql.log and /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log don't. could this be the cause? [08:09] * steveydoteu saves command === orgthingy is now known as orgthingy|glest [08:10] Kartagis, hmm, maybe. let's have a look at /etc/logrotate.conf [08:11] * anewbie GOOOOOD MOOOORNING VIEEEEEETNAAAAAM [08:11] how do i make and add chatrooms in pidgin? [08:11] nate_, the folks in #freenode will point you in the right direction. [08:12] unop, http://pastebin.com/f67197a59 [08:12] thanks === jkljkljleon is now known as devilsgate [08:13] hello [08:14] Kartagis, hmm, nowhere in both /usr/sbin/logrotate and /etc/logrotate.conf is there any mention of mysql .. which is odd and possibly contributes to the problem [08:15] Kartagis, ls /etc/logrotate.d/*mysql* [08:15] erm [08:15] I messed up my firefox [08:15] >< [08:16] Dragon_Master, everyone gets to that point sometime in the relationship. what exactly's happened? [08:16] xD [08:17] when I click it to start === orgthingy|glest is now known as orgthingy [08:17] it doesn't load [08:18] Dragon_Master, firefox has probably crashed .. open up a terminal and issue this command. killall firefox-bin && firefox [08:18] I need to list the contents of a directory, and have the output stored in a CSV file . . . does Linux natively support this feature via Terminal or external App??? [08:19] misteralexander, all files on one line in the CSV file? [08:19] unop, /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server [08:19] Cannot find mozilla runtime directory [08:19] Dragon_Master, hmm .. reinstall firefox i would assume [08:19] I just did XD but ookay xD [08:19] Kartagis, let's have a look at that file then .. phew!! [08:19] unop: Well, I'm using a "Movie Manager" program, and it says I can import all my movie titles if they're in a CSV file. [08:20] misteralexander, that's not saying very much about what you have to do with the files or how exactly the .CSV file is to be formatted. [08:20] how do I uninstall it XD [08:20] misteralexander, does the program have any samples/templates you can work with? [08:21] Dragon_Master, sudo aptitude remove firefox [08:21] unop: By the by, your "Audacity" reccomendation early worked like a charm, thank you very much. As for the CSV, I looked it up on Wikipedia, and I think i want each title on it's own line. [08:21] xD [08:21] I did it from the site [08:21] unop, http://pastebin.com/fda010a2 [08:22] misteralexander, hmm. well, you could do this. ls -1 /directory/containing/movies > file.csv # but that's not really a .CSV file, but do try it out, it might work [08:22] misteralexander, actually no. use find. find /directory/containing/movies > file.csv [08:22] unop, this line exists ---> /var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log [08:23] Is it possible to make ubuntu updates server in local network? If yes, point we in right direction (keywords for google, for example) [08:23] unop: okay, i'll try find . . . be right back. [08:24] =/ [08:24] didn't work [08:25] unop: Nothing, I just got an Input / Output error. [08:26] unop: more specifically - bash: file.csv: Input/output error [08:26] Kartagis, ok, make a backup of the file - then put this in its place - http://pastebin.com/d2d4a6e21 - then run /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf [08:26] unop, how do you uninstall the one I installed from the site [08:27] unop: It's in - $ /media/My Book/Movies/{{{{ 280 DivX Movies In Here }}}}} [08:27] misteralexander, hmm .. what exactly are you doing to get that error [08:27] lol [08:27] Dragon_Master, did you install firefox manually at some point? [08:28] yes [08:28] Dragon_Master, hmm, don't you remember where you extracted it to? [08:28] unop: $ cd /media/My\ Book [then] find /Movies/ > file.csv [08:28] I do [08:28] xD [08:29] Dragon_Master, i suppose you can just delete the directory then [08:29] Dragon_Master, and that gets rid of it [08:29] misteralexander, i don't think you have got the command right [08:30] what is a splash screen [08:30] Okay, well i'll do some old fashioned google research . . . i'll figure it out . . . that's what learning this damned operating system is all about. [08:30] I got it so I could learn. [08:30] LOL [08:30] misteralexander, find '/media/My Book/Movies/' > ~/movie_list.csv [08:30] misteralexander, that creates the CSV in your home directory [08:30] '/media/My\ Book/Movies/' > ~/movie_list.csv : note the \ [08:31] unop, error: error creating state file /var/lib/logrotate/status: Permission denied [08:31] airtonix, not needed when quoted [08:31] spaces in file names are so overrated [08:31] unop: okay, I see the slash, let me try. [08:31] Kartagis, bahh .. sorry, use sudo [08:31] okay, it seems okay now [08:31] anybody tell me whats a splash screen? [08:31] misteralexander, the backslash is not needed [08:32] misteralexander, infact it shouldn't exist [08:33] I need to disable my Atheros AR5BXB63 card (EEE PC)'s HAL and support etc so I can install madwifi-ng to allow monitor mode... but my hardware drivers list is empty. Is there a command to list drivers (like lspci but for drivers) to disable them so I can restart and install the new ones? [08:34] Kartagis, does the command give you any extra output? [08:34] how do I permanently remove firefox 2 and use only firefox3? [08:34] unop: even without the slash, it doesn't work . . . it says no file or directory . . . but it IS there, I'm browsing it right now . . . Terminal just refuses to let me navigate to it! [08:35] misteralexander, use tab complete to get it right for you. cd /media/my [08:35] hi, is there the way to get what dependency is not satisfied (recursively)? [08:35] misteralexander, once you have entered the directory successfully.. you can do this. find "$PWD" > ~/movie_list.csv [08:36] unop, no not yet, I'll have to check e-mail tomorrow [08:36] unop: man you're good . . . okay, let me try that one. [08:36] thanks a lot [08:36] Kartagis, ok [08:36] i want to share my internet with other user over LAN any simple application to do that [08:37] didn't work [08:37] >< [08:37] !ics > Dabbu [08:37] Dabbu, please see my private message [08:37] is there a way to re-install without overwriting the current configs? [08:38] unop:hey i followed the guide but not able to share ... [08:38] Dragon_Master, ahh well, just do this then. sudo aptitude remove '~i firefox' && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install firefox [08:38] alpha232, reinstall what? [08:39] unop: ubuntu.... [08:39] unop: i need to move from 6.10 to 6.06 so i can goto 8.10 [08:39] alpha232: why can't you go straight from 6.06 -> 8.10? [08:39] LSD|Ninja, not supported [08:40] yep.... they spit out an update to the LTS [08:40] alpha232, downgrades are not supported either [08:40] then negleted to mention that oh well you can't upgrade to the next LTS unless you tip toe [08:40] nope =x [08:41] Dragon_Master, be verbose if you want good help ;) [08:41] It still is not loading [08:41] unop: so is there a way to install from a cd as a repo but not overwrite the configs? [08:41] what is a good pdf editor? [08:41] alpha232, can't you just make a backup of your config files .. install 8.04 and pull in the config files from your backup set as and when needed? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:42] /server irc.efnet.info [08:43] alpha232, you can use a CD as a repo yes .. but you need the alternate CD or ISO for that -- but that still doesn't address how you are going to get to 8.04 the supported way. [08:43] who could advise me on picking a good PCI soundcard compatible with hardy? [08:43] anyone know how i can slow espeak down? he talks way to fast [08:43] unop: server iso :) [08:43] unop: i am just disappointed that it is this difficult [08:43] alpha232, if you are thinking of downgrading from 6.10 to 6.06 - not a good idea [08:43] unop: only enough to jump up to the latest [08:44] nyarla: any particular reason you want a seperate sound card? [08:44] unop: Worked like a charm. the "Griffith Movie Manager" program imported 288 DivX movies like a charm, THANKS! That's twice in one night you've saved me . . . in case you were counting! LOL. THANKS! [08:44] unop: it's just stupid i can't upgrade straight to the current LTS [08:45] LSD|Ninja: yes, the soundchip of my motherboard is really crap [08:45] alpha232, why don't you download the alternate ISOs for 7.04 and 7.10 etc .. use the 7.04 ISO to upgrade to 7.04, then use the next ISO to get to 7.10 and so on [08:45] misteralexander, heh :) [08:45] unop: because it would take forever [08:45] misteralexander, it was a wild-guess [08:45] unop: your wild guesses are probably better than my educated surety! [08:46] alpha232, indeed -- but it's a safe way [08:46] LOL [08:46] anyone know how i can slow espeak down? he talks way to fast [08:46] unop: thanks . . . bye! [08:46] i'd like a soundcard with 5.1 output [08:46] meh [08:46] nyarla: If you absolutely must have a standalone sound card then teh Creative BSLives are fairly well supported but in all honesty, I'd rather have onboard [08:47] !grub [08:47] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:47] is creative supported without proprietary driver?

[08:48] LSD|Ninja: nnull thanks, i'll look for it [08:48] unop: i suppose [08:48] nnull, man espeak [08:49] espeak kicks ass [08:49] * Dragon_Master bangs head on Keyboard [08:49] Dragon_Master, what happened? [08:50] is there a gui for PPP setup? [08:50] How do I work with a .sh file or a .run file.. :/ [08:50] still isn't loading [08:50] xD [08:50] ./file.sh [08:50] doc, chmod +x file.sh && ./file.sh [08:50] hi, i have an odd problem on my ubuntu computer (7.10) -> when i boot, everything is fine, but bout 1 minute in, most of my desktop does not respond to mouse clicks anymore, i can still move the mouse around, and i can still control stuff with my keyboard, but the mouseclicks seem not to register [08:50] or sh file.sh [08:50] any idea? [08:51] bakarat have you verified that you mouse hardware is functional? [08:51] kindofabuzz, his file.sh might not be a shell script tho [08:51] k lemme try [08:51] Dragon_Master, does this return anything? ps aux | grep -i firefox [08:51] tuxPCtech, ye i have a small windows partition on the same computer, works fine there [08:54] nnull: on your audigy, were you able to use the firewire port? [08:54] nyarla, havent tried have no firewire devices [08:54] Anyone know whether grub or grub2 is the default grub package for ubuntu? [08:54] bakarat: has the mouse ever worked in ubuntu? [08:55] ye [08:55] tuxPCtech, for ages [08:55] bakarat: what have you changed recently? [08:55] Kamlanaut, ubuntu 8.10 uses grub 0.97 [08:56] tuxPCtech, nothing that i know off, i was working in linux, rebooted to windows for some playing, rebooted to linux and the problem started [08:57] bakarat: What type of mouse are you using? [08:57] tuxPCtech, wireless one, i actually have 2 hooked up to the computer at all times [08:57] tuxPCtech, so i can switch when the battery dies (it's rechargeable) [08:58] Has the battery died recently bakarat? [08:58] type /msg ubottu etiquette [08:58] tuxPCtech, no [08:59] tuxPCtech, i also tried the other mouse, same exact problem [08:59] tuxPCtech, also note that i can move the mouse around and the pointer follows, just doesn't register clicking [08:59] tuxPCtech, and it only kicks in after about a minute, all works well in that first minute [09:00] bakarat does the other mouse work fine? [09:00] tuxPCtech, same exact problem [09:01] guys ive got a console command that i want to run with a bunch of parameters... how do i bind say netstat -nlp to ns ? [09:02] hello. how do i stop ubuntu from upgrading system components from a third-party repository? for example, i have a PPA added to install fresh versions of XBMC, but the repo also contains builds of apport, python etc. i just want XBMC to install/upgrade but ubuntu keeps telling me apport/etc are upgradable, constantly making a notification icon appear so i don't know if there are actual upgrades that interest me. help? [09:02] nnull, alias ns="netstat -nlp" [09:02] ty no [09:02] mo7, * [09:02] bakarat: sounds like a problem with your X server have you tried reconfigureing it? [09:03] mo7 is there a way to let it accept more info before excuting the command?

[10:02] ActionParsnip1: not really. try installing something you don't have the driver CD for ... in Linux some hardware is a bit difficult. In windows if you don't have the drivers (eg manufacturer never updated them) it's simply impossible..

[10:03] !symbolic links [10:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about symbolic links [10:03] zcat[1]: but you can hit the manufacturers site and you know they'll have a windows driver, not so many with linux drivers [10:04] how to update virtual box 1.5.6 to 1.6.4 ? if i try to install the new deb file there is an error "Previous version detected" and ask me to remove it ... if I remove the old version will I loose my existing virtual machines ?

I'm trying to get NTLDR to load ubuntu from a boot sector file [10:04] seano1: did you install windows then linux? [10:05] ActionParsnip1: I have quite a lot of hardware here that simply has no drivers, they dropped the download since they no longer sell that hardware, sometimes the manuf. isn't even in business any more..

[10:05] nnull: sure [10:05] .. and in windows there's simply no option at all.. but most of that hardware works OTB in linux [10:06] following a howto I installed after disconnecting 1st drive so MBR wouldn't be overwritten [10:06] zcat[1]: some does, some doesnt, it all depends [10:06] i dont know what u mate mate [10:06] linux boots fine with 1st drive disconnected, but not otherwise [10:06] is the compiz snowman plugin available for hardy yet? or is that scheduled for ibis?

[10:06] seano1: then the numbering in you menu.lst is wrong [10:07] ActionParsnip1: well, I tend to pick up hardware from WIndows users because they updated or reinstalled and can't find the drivers to make it work... I get a lot of hardware that way and most of it works fine in linux [10:07] seano1: perhaps changing the boot order in the bios [10:07] for some reason, i just reinstalled ubuntu, and after restarting after an update. the xserver won't come up. i get a could not create server lock file message. i've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to no avail. using hardy. not sure why it won't start [10:07] sabrewulf: head to #compiz [10:07] I thought that, so I changed it, but no joy [10:07] seano1: I see [10:07] seano1: ok [10:07] bios only allows 1st drive as boot device [10:07] nnull: check my pm [10:07] ActionParsnip1, what . extention should i use if i want to make it a launchable link [10:07] okie [10:07] action> i headed here as i was asking if its been packaged up yet... you know - apt-get install ? [10:08] seano1: I could be wrong, but you will probably have to install grub on the first drive [10:08] hello [10:08] yep, MrK I know I *could* do that :) [10:08] could someone help me troubleshoot my xserver ? it will not start. fully updated system fresh install. could not create lock file in /tmp error message, then shortly afterwards quits.

[10:19] hmm...in grub is there any (effective) difference between 'setup (hd1)' and 'setup (hd1,0)'? [10:20] another query... say ive got (for a few months before i migrate all to linux) 10 client machines, which all have a mapped drive to our windows server. Im moving the files to my linux server, so need to map from win machine - linux server, so the win client can do say \\linuxserver\files is that possible? [10:20] ActionParsnip1: you reading the hidden manual?

[10:21] ahh ok, easy enough to do? and do you need to re-map each time? [10:21] seano1: it looks on a different partition? [10:21] ActionParsnip1: im trying to install magento commerce but it says i have an invalid php version and need to update [10:21] AdvoWork, the thing is that you'll have to configure the access permissions [10:21] AdvoWork: mapping is client side, so you can tell windows to be persistent with the mapped drive [10:21] ilovefedora: what version do you have [10:22] you have many ways to do that [10:22] thefish: different partition to...? [10:22] ActionParsnip1: searching through the results to see now [10:22] how to delete /home/username folder. i have delete the user but the user folder still there [10:22] dpkg -l | grep php [10:22] AdvoWork, you install samba, then edit the smb.conf for directories etc [10:22] seano1: perhaps hd1 is the same as hd1,0 but not hd1,1 [10:22] seano1: its like sda and sda1/sda2 etc [10:23] seano1: you can get it towork the same with hd1 and hd1,0? [10:23] AdvoWork, and then wether you create a unix account for each user of your lan with same login/passes and manage the permissions in the /etc/groups file [10:23] thefish: that's what I was assuming, but assumptions have a way of biting you in the bum [10:23] or you try to setup LDAP for the access, but that's harder [10:23] yeap ^ [10:24] i dont think that assumption will work to be honest [10:24] ActionParsnip1: i have 5.1.2 [10:24] thefish, what you think [10:24] In Terminal Server Client, under the 'display' tab there is an option to select the Remote Desktop Size. While we are perhaps working in full screen mode, is there a key combination that can let us temporarily exit the full screen mode? [10:24] ilovefedora: what do you need? [10:24] hello [10:24] djamel can i check if i already have samba? [10:24] i am using the Logitech Harmony 525 remote control and on Mythbuntu the control only seems to work when you assign keys on the mythbuntu frontend. Thing is it uses keyboard commands. Is their any way of using the remote control commands? [10:25] AdvoWork: as djamel says, you can use ldap, but it adds another layer of complexity. for 10 computers, id just use a local user store (smbpasswd -a username) [10:25] Mushrooms, I think, it's CTRL+ALT+ENTER [10:25] ActionParsnip1: i need 5.2.0 or above, whats the latest? [10:25] AdvoWork: with ldap setup, you can do some more AD type stuff (soon you can even be a DC), but again, more stuff to fix if it breaks :) [10:26] mo7: ok i'll give that a try, thanks! ^^ === Ademan_ is now known as Ademan [10:26] AdvoWork, yes, and if you don't, apt-get install samba [10:26] mo7: whoa fantastic! thanks so much for your help! [10:26] djamel sorry for being a pain, i *think* ive already got it, can I check some how? [10:27] AdvoWork: try on a test server before you commit yourself as well ;) [10:27] AdvoWork: dpkg -l | grep samba [10:27] AdvoWork: or smbclient -L localhost [10:27] im trying to get firefox to accept a symbolic link as a mailto program instead of evolution but i doesnt want to accept my alias.sh [10:27] if you are working on the samba server [10:28] nnnulll: probably stupid question, but is the alias.sh +x? [10:28] nnull: aliases are for bash ... not for firefox... [10:28] ilovefedora: http://forum.slicehost.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=631 [10:28] Mushrooms, no problem : ) [10:28] +x ?

[11:06] trbs: don't think so [11:06] trbs, no [11:06] okey thnx [11:06] Any one have experience mounting a samba share? [11:06] think i need a cup of tea. dual booting is thirty work [11:07] seano1, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:07] Hello , i installed Ubuntu on my new laptop, but i cant get the wireless working .. i have atheros card ? [11:07] hitting a lot of false EDAC i5000 errors here on hardy, so i thought maybe i could upgrade in the way that many people reported 'fixing' this by downgrading ubuntu [11:07] hey guys, didnt know where to ask this question so apologies in advance, but im wondering if anyone can explain to me, in relation to encryption, what determins the "bit" of the encryption? [11:07] e.g 256 bit encryption [11:07] Kate232: put the output of lspci inthe pastebin [11:07] or 128 bit encrpytion [11:07] !pastebin > Kate232 [11:07] Kate232, please see my private message [11:07] how to show cover art on rhytimbox? [11:07] trbs, you might try proposed repos, but they are not fully tested. [11:08] i cant get my wlan-card to work, its a asus a6708 and i thinks its the Broadcom BCM4318 card inside... [11:08] i've installed ndiswrapper and loaded the driver, it just dont work :( [11:09] digital-soundboy: 256 bit encryption is less secure than 512 bit encryption, etc. I assume that bit means one binary digit, ie, 0 or 1. obviously, the more 0 or 1s you ahve, the harder it is to break [11:09] !broadcom | pengwen [11:09] pengwen: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [11:09] bazhang, okey thanks, not fully tested is not really a problem with the workload that the machine handles, if it would crash to much will just try something else :) [11:09] how to show cover art on rhytimbox? [11:09] adam7, so the "bit" size referes to the size of the key used to encrypt the content? [11:10] adam7: thanks :) [11:10] adam7: ok i will pastbin the output , by the way , i had Ubuntu on this laptop , the last time i installed Ubuntu i had the same problem , some here gave me link to guide of ECC (small computers) , that solve the problem [11:10] digital-soundboy: I think so -- I'm no expert though :) [11:10] Kate232, eeepc?

[11:15] Dusk_, you need to put quiet and splash in the kernel parameters in grub list [11:15] bazhang: I was just curious about that... and wanted to know if they're going to support some of the previous models of machines? [11:15] bazhang, kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=14df9267-b66d-457e-9bea-a2564999efb9 ro quiet splash [11:16] so I guess it is kinda a support question...:) [11:16] bazhang, they're already there [11:16] Dusk_, that is the kernel you are booting from? [11:16] Hey bazhang, yu have experience mounting samba file shares? [11:16] bazhang, yes exactly [11:17] ph0rensic, have you read the documentation on how to do that? what errors did you get when you did so [11:17] hrrm after upgrading, my CDROM isn't detected [11:17] bazhang: Yes I have but Im not sure where I am going wrong errors are: [11:17] Dusk_, have you replaced or fiddled with the usplash of late? [11:18] Anyone happen to know where I can get my hands on openssl-devel? [11:18] Can't seem to find it through google.

It will mount it in ~/.gvfs/something [11:23] Would someone mind explaining briefly what happens when you mount a drive, does it configure it for use, or..? [11:23] bazhang: Umm those are not automounting, they are other copies of other OS,s Linux mint and linuxmce [11:26] Is there a single command I can run to ssh into a server and restore a screen session? something like ssh server screen -r (except that doesn't work) [11:26] Kaya_Saouka, when you mount it you make it readable and writeable if you have the right permissions. An unmounted drive is not visible or available for use [11:26] adam7, ssh server 'screen -r' [11:26] general question regarding firestarter. Outbound traffic isnt really necessary unless i want to be a security hog right? (no offence to security aware people :p) [11:27] unop: it says Must be connected to a terminal.

[11:32] My system triple boots 3 different OS's (although I have a windows partition that isn't autoconfiguring with grub so thats another issue I have to sort out [11:32] ph0rensic, where is the ubuntu partition on there? looks like floppy has rw, but dont see any other. [11:32] Does anybody here have any experience using a bluetooth headset and skype? I've got mine working using blueman bluetooth manager and I can talk to people. However, if I don't answer an incoming call before the bluetooth headset is connected and starts making the ringing sound, I'm lost in ringin tone limbo and have to kill skype to make it stop. And also if I hang up and recieve a new call, skype says "problem with audio playback".. I g [11:32] uess this is down to a crappy bluetooth sound driver. Could somebody offer some advice on this? [11:33] bazhang: Which ubuntu partition??? I have 3... and the samba share I want access to is on another computer all together [11:35] Uhm.. My root partition (That's what it's called right?) / is full [11:36] I have no idea what I should be deleting to free up space [11:36] I have no idea how it is full [11:36] try disk usage analyzer [11:36] I have a separate /usr and /home mount partitions [11:37] I couldn't log in the other day [11:37] and I couldn't get my wifi to work because it uses the network manager thingy [11:37] I had to use lynx with ethernet plugged in and found out to do a sudo apt-get clean [11:37] and freed like 100mb and was able to login to gdm [11:38] looks like your root is too small [11:38] apparently.. but I don't understand what would be stored there that would increase if I have a /usr and /home seperately mounted [11:38] find a megabyte to find out what directories are so big. and you can move some directory like /usr to another partition [11:39] oh [11:39] I havent installed any new programs or changed anything for a month or so === steveydoteu is now known as steveyeu [11:39] I thought that was the point of me having /usr and /home on seperate partitions [11:40] I mean.. that's the idea right? [11:40] my root is only 2 gigs [11:40] when I installed this time.. I was trying to figure out the best partition scheme and currently have..

[11:42] where can i find "application run" window ?? [11:42] what does fdisk -l do?.. nothing.. that's what [11:42] Lanlost_: forget it [11:42] Lanlost_: it does. sudo fdisk -l [11:42] yeah.. I checked man [11:42] Lanlost_: yo've did it :) [11:42] where can i find "application run" window ?? [11:42] I'm not an idiot.. it was a joke [11:42] the 'what does it do? nothing [11:43] It's just strange that it didn't say it needed root access to do anything [11:43] Lanlost_: then don't say idiotic things if you don't want to be taken for one [11:43] where can i find "application run" window ?? [11:43] where can i find "application run" window ?? [11:43] ...

[11:47] Lanlost_: find the Disk Usage Analyzer and GPartEd in applications and use them to plan new space partitioning! [11:47] I have a /usr parition and a /home mount partition.. my / is full. I haven't added any software.. nor have I changed any settings or added any hardware [11:47] logs are constantly written [11:47] <_ruben> /var/log might have filled your disk [11:47] Lanlost_: done updates? [11:47] what sort of files would take up so much space suddenly. Logs? Would they even be stored in the root parition? [11:47] they can take a lot of room [11:47] that was my question [11:47] nope [11:47] Haven't been home really.. uptime is large [11:47] Lanlost_: yes they are stored there [11:47] Lanlost_: Just install Disk Usage Analyzer and find out what eats your space! It is simple graphical tool [11:48] yes.. I understand [11:48] I was just restating the question because he asked.. that is all [11:48] thanks [11:48] Lanlost_: /tmp /var is on your root now [11:48] yes it is [11:48] tmp is .. small small [11:49] my /var is 450 mb [11:49] yeah 633mb [11:50] this isn't my desktop alone.. I have a 400gb hard drive in here.. my girlfriend uses the dual booted XP.. which she made me allocate 350 or so gb to.. I suppose I'm a tool [11:51] lol, since when does xp need 95% of a drive to run? [11:51] I am having keyboard issues this is so strange. [11:51] ntfs-3g seems to work pretty damn good these days.. thank god [11:51] Lanlost_: use the disk analizer (Aplications>Accesories) to find out [11:51] Jucato you around? [11:51] well thats the idea.. I gave her the space and just use the working read/write ntfs support to use her space for erm... files that can be shared between linux / windows in common use [11:52] it makes sense if you consider that XP can't read the linux partitions but linux can read the ntfs ones.. [11:52] Lanlost_: wrong [11:53] Somehow or another after grub logs me in my keyboard quits working. WTF [11:53] grub logs you in? [11:53] heh [11:53] wrong.. in what way? [11:53] Lanlost_: simply wrong [11:53] xp is fail. [11:53] what can we say. [11:54] wols, as long as the files are stored on the ntfs disk it's not wrong [11:54] ... [11:54] I'm wrong that linux can access ntfs but Windows can't (last time I checked) access ext3? [11:54] filthpig: it is. fs-driver.org ext2fs anywhere, etc [11:54] Lanlost_: yes you are [11:55] When my computer starts I am able to log in but when my wm fires up my keyboard sudden quits working. [11:55] I think there are some commercial options that allow it.. [11:55] not only commercial [11:55] Lanlost_, you can access an ext3 partition from windows using the ext driver [11:55] http://www.fs-driver.org/, supports both ext2 and ext3 [11:55] how can i see the version of ubuntu that is installed ? [11:55] ah... well then. I guess I am wrong [11:56] !version [11:56] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [11:56] last time I tried the ext2/3 driver it kinda sucked bigtie. but of course, that probably has improved [11:56] one more question.. which I suppose I will walk across by looking for an ubuntu package. Are there any small dvr type programs for ubuntu besides mythtv? [11:56] I'm looking for something.. insanely simple.

[13:10] sevensun: pastebin the output of the following commands two commands: mount && sudo fdisk -l [13:10] !pastebin | sevensun [13:10] sevensun: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[13:20] kibibyte: need to use pastebin [13:20] jason: Oh, i've found outdated messages that vbox does not work from command-line? [13:20] sevensun, why [13:20] DaveG|: It was fine for 500+ days before I went to 8.04 [13:20] sevensun, just type manually every line on paste.ubuntu.com using this system you are using now...

[13:21] hello [13:21] genius, i was working with it fine, there is a virtualbox_headless client that has a rdp server so you can connect to the screen anywhere [13:21] mkhlnsh: I do not know a solution. Your errors are due to #the localhost and user have been changed. the user has UID 1001 [13:21] mkhlnsh, jrib: I'll be back soon [13:22] sevensun, then mount windows partition [13:22] thank you! === andre is now known as thehook === thehook is now known as andrethehook [13:22] I just upgraded to Hardy and now whenever I insert a DVD, Totem starts up.

[13:23] chrislees: edit -> preferences -> media in nautilus [13:23] bullgard4, i've added those 2 lines. i've changed the localhost, is not the real name, and did the same thing for user. i wont paste my real system name and user name on internet... [13:23] jrib: Thanks, I didn't know where they'd moved the option [13:23] sevensun, then type : sudo fdisk -l [13:24] I have set up a mirror for hardy and a PXE server to start a network install. I can boot the install but when it tries to download installer componenets it says I have a bad archive mirror. Do I need to add specific items to the mirror for installer componenets other than the normal? [13:24] sevensun, and then find entires with FAT or NTFS [13:24] it your windows partitions [13:24] its [13:25] xbmc cool man...haha [13:25] mkhlnsh: I understand that well. I still believe that your error messages are linked to this operation of you. [13:25] I have a "problem" with my touchpad. It has a physically marked area for scrolling vertically, but ubuntu has a much wider scroll area enabled by default, so I suddenly find myself scrolling around when all I wanted to do was move the cursor. How can I edit the scroll area so it's limited to the physical place designated on the touchpad?

[13:27] its a alias [13:27] sloof3, i've no idea, maybe mmm booting into that "safe mode" or what ever you call it [13:27] nnnulll, ugh? the .bashrc file is a script, what do you mean to do? you could run the command from .bashrc by making it executable and putting the path to the command in teh .bashrc [13:27] nnnulll: that doesn't really make sense. If you just want an alias. It's alias foo='bar' [13:28] nnnulll, if you want commands to be in your default path, put them in your /home/USERNAME/bin direcory and logout/back in.. [13:28] What's a good website to get themes for Ubuntu? (gnome) [13:28] mysterycool: http://gnome-look.org [13:28] !themes > mysterycool [13:28] mysterycool, please see my private message [13:28] if ~/bin exists - it will get added to the default PATH [13:28] ive dr_willis so just chuck my .sh script in bin? [13:28] nnnulll, thats where they are normally kept [13:28] sloof3, i guess it's not useful advice but that's the first thing that comes to mind for me [13:28] ok cool [13:29] nnnulll, you dont really need .sh on the end either. [13:29] kk [13:29] I have /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_05/bin, how do I add it to the PATH Environment variable? [13:29] someone know another site to download themes? [13:29] otherwise id haveto type .sh when i run it yeh? [13:29] !themes > vozniakBR [13:29] hello.. can someone tell me how to exclude some includes with doxygen? [13:29] vozniakBR, please see my private message [13:29] sliverchair: export PATH=/your/path:$PATH [13:29] sounds weird :D [13:29] sliverchair, in the .bashrc or .bash_profile export the path, and append the new to the end. [13:30] I have /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_05/bin, how do I add it to the PATH Environment variable? [13:30] sliverchair, like qr said. [13:30] sliverchair: you just got two answers [13:30] lawl dr_willis i have no bin folder in that dir [13:30] nnnulll, well the LOGICAL answer.. would be to MAKE ONE. [13:30] if its where they are kept, where are all the others now? [13:30] exit [13:31] shit, wrong window ^^ [13:31] nnnulll, what others? your system PATH variable defines wat directories get searched for exexutable commands. [13:31] Bash Basics :) path ussage. [13:31] echo $PATH [13:31] shows your current path's that are searched [13:31] mkhlnsh, jrib, kibibyte: http://paste.ubuntu.com/42684/ [13:31] bullgard4, i've added those 2 lines only on the pastebin. i did nothing on the system. [13:32] dr_willis, so how do i add a path to this? [13:33] nnnulll, as i said.. if 'bin' exists in your users home directroy when you login.. it will get added to the your path automacially [13:33] mkhlnsh: You did nothin to change your localhost address? You did nothing to change the UID either? [13:33] i am sharing my internet with window user but when they try to open some page in browser that is showing "error lander" [13:33] ahh ok [13:33] sevensun: for f in sda1 sda2 sda5; do sudo mkdir /media/$f && sudo mount /dev/$f /media/$f; done [13:33] bullgard4, nothing. [13:33] dr_willis: is .bash_profile for all users? [13:33] echo .bash_profile [13:33] sliverchair, No it is not.. since its in your users home directory. there are similer config files in /etc/ [13:34] i created a vrtual disk using qemu-img cmd , now iam lost what to do ....could anyone guide me ? [13:34] mkhlnsh: So my idea was wrong. But I cannot help you. Please ask more knowledgeable persons than me. [13:34] I forget what file in /etc/ sets the default path. it might be in /etc/profile [13:34] !inetd [13:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about inetd [13:34] I have set up a mirror for hardy and a PXE server to start a network install. I can boot the install but when it tries to download installer componenets it says I have a bad archive mirror. Do I need to add specific items to the mirror for installer componenets other than the normal? [13:34] dr_willis: /etc/environment I think [13:34] !usplash [13:34] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [13:34] how does inetd differ from xinetd? [13:34] vikku, now start qemu with the image you created as the first hard drive. if you need a gui, try qemulator [13:35] genius, i belive xinetd is a newer replacement for inetd. with more flexiability [13:35] sevensun, /dev/sda1 is your C: and /dev/sda5 is your D: [13:35] # /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1)) [13:35] sevensun, you have to mount them and you will have access to the files. [13:35] !path [13:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about path [13:35] !mount | sevensun [13:35] sevensun: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [13:35] dr_willis: ifound: xinetd is a secure replacement for inetd. [13:36] /etc/environment is looking more friendly [13:36] genius, i find i dont need to use either. :) [13:36] genius, unless i set up vnc to auto-spawn :) but i havent done that in ages. [13:36] !diskmounter | sevensun [13:36] sevensun: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [13:36] only diff with windows is the : [13:36] magnetron : i did this after creating it : qemu -boot d -cdrom /opt/Dsl3/dsl-3.4.11.iso -hda vrtdisk.img [13:36] sliverchair, and the CASE is Impornatnat [13:36] any reasons why installing mozilla's version of firefox for linux (3.0.1) is a bad idea? [13:36] so guest OS is booted currently [13:37] :-) [13:37] how can i access an lvm partiton from a livecd [13:37] ndlovu: you don't get automatic security updates [13:37] jrib: depends on how he installs it [13:37] jrib, doesn't it update itself? [13:38] kbrosnan, ndlovu: oh maybe, haven't used ff in years [13:38] I'm going to have to reboot my server since it's unresponsive remotely after a OOM killer. What can I do to find out what casued it after I've rebooted? [13:38] magnetron : i did this after creating it : qemu -boot d -cdrom /opt/Dsl3/dsl-3.4.11.iso -hda vrtdisk.img [13:38] ndlovu: if you install it to your home directory it will update, if you install it as root then you would need to gksudo to allow updates [13:38] jrib: updating was a core feature of firefox 1 [13:38] ndlovu, no automatic security update from the maintainer of the distribution. you will still get the updates from mozilla [13:38] vikku, and what was the result? [13:39] it di d boot!! [13:39] dose any one know how to do a bash sql querry [13:39] it did boot!! [13:39] dr_willis: I guess, I need to restart my machine, won't CTRL+BACKSPACE do? [13:39] swilky: umm... a what? Be a bit more specific... [13:39] sliverchair, i said Logout/back in. [13:39] vikku, you need to give the correct path to the hda img file. try with the full path. [13:39] mkhlnsh, jrib, kibibyte: well I actually didn't understand ANYTHING of what you says after the jrib post "sudo mkdir /media/$f && sudo mount /dev/$f /media/$f".... However, looks like it didn't work propely coz it says: "mkdir: cannot create directory '/media/': file exists" [13:40] I have set up a mirror for hardy and a PXE server to start a network install. I can boot the install but when it tries to download installer componenets it says I have a bad archive mirror. Do I need to add specific items to the mirror for installer componenets other than the normal? [13:40] sliverchair, thats the easiest way [13:40] sevensun: you didn't copy everything [13:40] if i am using a bridge then how to configure my network sharing [13:40] i have a sql DB and i want to sort data as var'sin a bashscript [13:40] does someone know how to install the Q3Radiant on ubuntu hardy? [13:40] mkhlnsh, kbrosnan thanks - sounds like the risks are not too serious - I would guess that most of the security updates trickle down from mozilla in any case [13:40] dr_willis: thanx for the help, javac is working now [13:40] sevensun: just do: sudo mkdir /media/sda1; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 and do the same for sda5 [13:41] magnetron : ok [13:41] is it better to use wicd ? [13:41] ndlovu: in most cases you will get the update within a day of it being released. assuming firefox is open or started once a day [13:41] swilky, QUERYSTRING="select BLA from BLA where BLA='bla'; select NEXT from NEXT;" [13:41] jrib: ok looks easier now, let me try [13:41] my bios time is UTC, not my local time... :( how to put bios time as local time? [13:41] swilky, MYSQLQUERY=`echo $QUERYSTRING | $MySQLBIN -D $MySQLDB -u $MySQLUSER --password=$MySQLPASS` [13:42] magnetron : did thid ` qemu -boot d -cdrom /opt/Dsl3/dsl-3.4.11.iso -hda /home/vikku/vrtdisk.img ` and was able to boot [13:42] sliverchair, im not even going to ask why your java is in such a odd place. :) heh [13:42] how do i hide join/part in xchat? [13:43] guys can anyone tell me about the user nobody? [13:43] I have a rar file that is password protected. Is there a program to help crack it? [13:43] nnnulll, nobody know [13:43] whileimhere: no. not here. [13:43] anyone tell me how to set up my bios time as local time? [13:44] nnnulll what about it ? (it'a an intentional unprivileged user) [13:44] is using wicd as internet manager will increase net performance [13:44] tamer: No, its just a different, some people don't like Network Manager. [13:44] H__ for some reason i have a FTP server running specifically for that user... i didnt set it up.. [13:44] nnnulll sounds like an anonymous access ftp account [13:44] dr_willis: now I have a problem with netbeans-6.5beta-linux.sh, I think it can't find the jdk [13:45] H__, whats that mean? [13:45] sliverchair, no idea on that. Check the script. I dont mess with java other then to install the java package from the repos.. wich is proberlyu the best way to install java. [13:45] H__, am i safe to delete it? [13:46] nnnulll that's what I expect, yes. But it's just a guess ;-) (i'm no ubuntu official) [13:46] dr_willis: I guess I'll just do the downloading again.. [13:46] nnnulll, often services get ran as user 'nobody' for security [13:46] sometimes i face lags in my DSL connection [13:46] Yo Yo Yo!

[14:01] thanks, installing now [14:01] one of my hard drives is not visible in linux for using (but gparted sees it) [14:02] Hi [14:02] Are you using XFCE?

[14:03] there you see what device is used and than you can mount it [14:03] Mkay [14:03] jpastore: no good, it's just a restart [14:03] hummus: do you mean debconf files? /var/lib/dpkg/info/ [14:03] hii evry one [14:03] Veliouras, yes. terminal [14:03] I am a newbie [14:03] here [14:03] Or [14:03] wols: let me have a look :) [14:03] ok hold on [14:03] Macrowizards: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [14:03] thanks [14:03] Go into filesystem/media/ [14:03] hi [14:04] luis08, it kills and reload gnome.

I just did a reboot. Afterwards my resolution is stuck at 800X640. This makes gnome nearly unusable. Any idea how I can repair my video without using a gui ?

The highest resolution offered was 640X480. [14:05] does it need opening in the firewall or is it considered open already [14:05] hi leute [14:05] sunil: your Xorg.0.log tells you why higher res won't work [14:05] Macrowizards: there is no firewall [14:05] wols: I can not find any control info about packages in there. [14:05] you cen need for spid moswated [14:05] wols: cool. I'll check that... [14:06] Macrowizards, wols: Not exactly accurate, iptables is there, but its open by default. [14:06] great, so i can just ssh in at port 21 already? [14:06] Veliouras, whta do you mean with no response. fdisk -l gives you an outout. paste it somwhere [14:06] hummus what is this "control info" you seek? [14:06] Macrowizards: ssh is port 22. [14:06] Macrowizards: IF ssh listens on port 21 [14:06] What i mean is the info from output dpkg -p package [14:07] luis08, hmm well I wouldn't use ubuntu for just a command line system. I was looking to see if there was an inittab in /etc and I don't see it. you might want to download and install the server edition of ubuntu...I haven't played with it as I use CentOS on my servers [14:07] basti, nothing happened [14:07] i have a network, port 22 in my router points to my centos server [14:07] jpastore: the point is, I don't have root access but I need access to a command line mode...

[14:08] Veliouras, sudo fdisk -l [14:08] wols: Cool, let me have a fast check :) [14:08] Macrowizards: Then you'll need to modify /etc/ssh/ssh_config and restart the ssh service: sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart [14:08] jpastore: not my box [14:08] cool [14:08] Pici: I'd rather change /etc/ssh/sshd_config....

[14:45] i don't know ..i am new so o prefered a GUI [14:45] When I did, it gave me three options - [14:45] Dabbu, ok :) [14:45] Greetings Room [14:45] Auto, 800X600, and one that was even lower [14:45] Plouj, what do you mean you can't build anything [14:45] Dabbu, but IPtables is built into the kernel. you dont need firestarter [14:46] I can't record sound. Does anyone know how to fix this? [14:46] so u r asking me to uninstall it ..? [14:46] lat, try running ubuntu in virtualbox [14:46] Plouj, what are you trying to do [14:46] Dabbu, no need. its ok [14:47] ubotuu, don't no what to do, but i can vote you :D [14:47] lisa, I can't get virutalbox to work either. === spongebob is now known as GazzaK [14:48] Room, i'm having a problem installign linux. My laptop has no Optical or floppy drive, does not support booting from a USB. Presently I have my laptop hard drive connected directly to my desktop and am attempting to install it from there, but having a hard time.. anyone got any fresh ideas? [14:48] lisa_: so how to use firestarter to allow only few ip and block others [14:49] compengi: I want to compile a program, of course. [14:49] what else is a compiler good for? [14:49] Segellion: Can you be more specific? [14:50] Segellion: What exactly is going wrong? === dmwit__ is now known as dmwit [14:50] Plouj: what's the problem you're having again? [14:51] Hey dmwit I talked to you yesterday. I'm following the instructions to install Ubuntu over USB, because I figure that's about the same thing as installing onto this hard drive attached to my computer. [14:51] hi [14:51] hello, when I boot from the newest ubuntu (kubuntu to be precise) livecd I end up in console with a (initramfs) prompt... what can I do? [14:51] So I'm using the syslinux program to make the drive bootable, and copying the files over. [14:51] I'll think about it [14:51] LjL: Well, to have a useful program, I'd like to include stdio.h, but the package that installs that doesn't seem to be a dependency of the gcc package. [14:52] The syslinux program does not allow me to install because it's not "removable" I use the override command -f and the program crashes. [14:52] Plouj: tried sudo apt-get install build-essential ? [14:52] pav: Check that the burn went correctly; there should be a "check disc integrity" option. [14:52] dmwit, ok, brb then [14:52] pav: newest meaning what version? Try disabling all the silent boot options and look carefully at any errors occurring. [14:52] Plouj: well, that's because a C compiler may also be used with non-standard libraries (just as an example, the EPOC32 operating system uses "C++" but not its standard library). if you do want to use standard C, you need the "build-essential" package. [14:53] Segellion: Have you tried just installing using the LiveCD's "Install" program? [14:53] Plouj: there is no reason for gcc to depend on it, though. [14:53] this http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/devel/build-essential says that "If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this package." [14:53] Segellion: (i.e. choose to install to the plugged-in hard drive) [14:54] Plouj: it works for me :P [14:54] Yes I have, here's the thing. I finish installation, and it asks me to reboot. So I disconnect the hard drive plug it into my laptop and try to boot it up and it gives me the stupid error "NTDLR is missing" [14:54] LjL: build-essential instal gnu c++ too [14:54] Now I was running XP on this laptop before trying to run linux [14:54] Segellion: Sounds like you're trying to do a dual-boot, then? [14:54] Not intentionally, I just don't know how to edit the boot record to just allow linux. [14:54] Plouj: that's most likely because the packagers, being the standards-abiding fellows they are, assume that if you build something *for Ubuntu* (which definitely needs build-essential to build), then you're going to make it into a .deb package. [14:54] genius: sure it does. [14:55] Plouj: build-essential is the first package I install on new machines, you'll like it [14:55] Segellion: do not change partition layout after installing grub [14:55] OR, there's no boot files installed [14:55] genius: to use the C/C++ standard libraries, you definitely need a compiler. the vice versa isn't true. [14:55] LjL: s/vice versa/converse/ [14:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/build-essential/+bug/50232 [14:55] Launchpad bug 50232 in build-essential "build-essential has missleading description" [Undecided,Invalid] [14:56] hkBst: s/converse/inverse/ [14:56] Plouj: do you have a support question? [14:56] Segellion: in 6-8 months you will contempt XP :) [14:56] LjL: not anymore [14:56] LjL, ;) [14:56] !grub > Segellion [14:56] Segellion, please see my private message [14:56] Oh, hey, I meant to ask this last night. Is there a !command that says to turn on compiz' window decorations? [14:56] Ubuntu is very stable [14:57] Okay, I'll look into that. Thanks Ubottu [14:57] dmwit: !ccsm [14:57] dmwit: I don't think so, see http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/converse#Noun [14:58] Plouj, for every package you want to compile, you need dependancies. to download them you need to run "sudo apt-get build-dep ", your first question about "hello world" isn't related to this one [14:59] I can't get gnome ppp [14:59] jrib: I meant specifically, "Turn on the Window Decorations extension for Compiz," not "turn on compiz". (Several people last night were complaining that they had no window borders.) [14:59] dmwit: ah the bug === mr is now known as Guest84946 [15:00] someone asked about how to install chrome with wine. who was that? [15:00] can someone help me with VPN on ubuntu? [15:00] what driver does manage sata block devices? [15:00] i cant find any chrome installer [15:00] genius: depends on the chip controler [15:00] dwmit : to fix this bug, you need to reload compiz [15:00] genius: controler chip [15:00] What's a good DTP program apart from Scribus? [15:00] well, even after chosing to test the livecd for errors I end up with the (initramfs) prompt === Assargadon_ is now known as Assargadon [15:00] I mean, the test doesn't work [15:00] hey, there is a ubuntu community council meeting, so can i join the channel even if i'm not a member???

[15:01] ok thanks:D [15:01] i want to hear what's happening :D [15:01] genius: most modern ones can be driven on ahci mode by tghe ahci driver that's the preferred mode as ahci is more advanced that all the specific drivers like sata_via sata_uli etc... [15:02] genius: intels are better driven by ahci driver if they are not in ahci mode they use piix iirc [15:02] genius: ata_piix [15:03] wols: btw, did that pasted xorg conf file tell you anything ? [15:04] hey everyone... does anyone know of a good rss reader that synchronizes with newsgator? [15:04] genius: for example i have an uli chipset and my controller is on ahci mode so its driven by ahci driver [15:04] erUSUL: libata 159344 3 ata_generic,ata_piix,pata_acpi [15:05] dmwit: !nodeco [15:05] jrib: Marvelous.

I'm not sure what this means, but the inference is that the monitor, and not X is the source of the problem. [15:13] siaw: no [15:13] Would that be correct ? [15:14] Hello dudes, :-D I got a very little problem which is dirivin' me crazy... I'm using a 20G iPod as external data storage device, but it looks like the system is unable to understand how much big this device is, and always gives out warning message such as "no enough space on the driver" when it actually is half-way filled. It Gives me a lot of problems while I'm using bittorrent, so I wonder if there's some kind of command [15:14] dmwit: well that sucks... [15:14] [I solved my "mounting windows-HD on Xubuntu live cd" problem, thanx a lot 8-)] [15:15] wols: interesting: if I google for 'chimei' (monitor brand) and EDID, I get interesting results.

[15:24] Afternoon [15:24] hi [15:25] Hey there, I've looked at many .screenrc files on the Internet, and not one of them tells me how to bind my mouse buttons to certain functions. Basically, I want to turn copy-mode on and off using my mouse buttons 4 and 5, but I don't know how to bind the buttons to certain functions! Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks! [15:25] Ive just installed Ubuntu on a third Sata 500 Gig harddrive, when I reboot getting a Grub 21 error. The first two SATAs are running as RAID with Visita installed [15:25] nnull : i dunno that, i'm going to search for you [15:25] ok cheers [15:25] currently running from the live CD [15:26] leeping2008: I don't think screen interacts with a mouse at all [15:26] leeping2008: screen is meant to be used without mouse. do not think you can do what you want [15:26] PuG: did you install grub on MBR or root partition? [15:26] leeping2008: actually it does have limited mouse support but it isnt mentioned in the manpage [15:26] PuG: I think you just kissed your MBR goodbye [15:26] Hey guys. Am playing around with screenlets on my desktop. All is fine, but can someone tell me how to stop them being minimized when I hit the "show desktop" button? [15:26] Grub installed where it wanted to [15:27] o_O [15:27] Default ubuntu install [15:27] oh MBR then [15:27] so thats not terribly good? [15:27] * outbackwifi wonders why people leave things to wizards [15:27] nooo [15:27] hi, how to install catalyst for a 4850 GPU on a 64-bit pc? [15:27] MikeSeth and erUSUL, thanks... kind of a shame though, currently I can scroll with the mouse wheel in copy mode, it would just be very nice to activate and deactivate the mode with mouse buttons, much like binding key presses... maybe I can translate mouse buttons into key presses using Xmodmap?? [15:27] is it a Visita repair disk job/ [15:27] :p === Tizz__ is now known as Tizz [15:28] hello, I am trying to install skype on Ubuntu 8.04 desktop 64bit. however on the skype site, there is only a i386 package. Any ideas? [15:28] Can you kiss Visita goodbye? [15:28] leeping2008: the scrolling feature is implemented in VT, not in screen itself as far as I know [15:28] !skype [15:28] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [15:28] nnull : [15:28] hi guys :) could someone please help me to set up lirc? [15:28] - Open the File Browser and choose: Edit -> Preferences [15:28] - In the "Icon View Defaults" section, set the desired (50% for example) "Default Zoom Level" [15:28] No due to work software [15:28] pistache, ? [15:28] leeping2008: imo if you are the kind of person that uses screen to the point of writing your own rc files, you may want to get AWAY from the mouse [15:28] erUSUL: so how would I invoke it in the cron? basically what I am doing is setting up disk usage monitor and having it output to a file... I would like the file to be emailed to me if it's generated [15:28] MikeSeth, I'm actually using gnome-terminal with screen. When copy mode is off, the mouse wheel scrolls the command history. With copy mode on, I can scroll in the scroll-buffer. [15:29] os2mac: make the call to mail on the script you run from cron ? [15:29] absolute chamption pistache! thanks dude [15:29] leeping2008: oh. Then you may want to apt-get source screen and look at the Ubuntu-specific patches [15:29] does Visita come with a recovery mode? [15:29] MikeSeth, I don't think I'll ever get away from using the mouse - I'm using screen mainly for its detachability, it's really awesome [15:29] I was looking for syntax of the command. the man page is rather terse. [15:29] outbackwifi: ask in ##windows [15:29] like good ole XP did? [15:29] im not the one asking [15:29] im not sure, I suspect so - no possible way of repairing or getting grub to work then/ [15:29] MikeSeth, thanks. I'll look at those ... but perhaps I'll look at xmodmap first and map button presses to keystrokes [15:29] erUSUL: PuG is the OP [15:29] leeping2008: you would. You'll get hooked on emacs and you'll despise everything GUI ;> [15:30] Machtin: Don't ask to ask, just ask. [15:30] hi, how to install catalyst for a radeon 4850 on a 64-bit pc? [15:30] os2mac: mail username@hostname -s subjet < mailbody [15:30] Machtin: Say exactly what problem you're running into, and what you've already tried to fix it. [15:30] MikeSeth, I do use emacs, but I still like to have it in windows ;P [15:30] Hi, how can i launch konqueror in the Terminal, opening a specific location ? [15:30] leeping2008: I am on Windows right now and I am not using my mouse at all [15:30] ;> [15:30] newtolinux : well just type konqueror [15:30] But [15:30] outbackwifi: and? stay ontopic or move to ##windows both of you [15:31] Well I can disable this drive (with ubuntu installed) and put in the Visita disk and see what happens.. but theirs nothing I can fix Grub end first, or try? [15:31] MikeSeth, wow. But why stay away from using a mouse? Pointing and clicking is inherently convenient in many situations [15:31] hes dual booting [15:31] leeping2008: because switching hands interrupts thought flow [15:31] so we go to windoze eh? [15:31] pistache, can i launch it with the file manager profile as an argument ? [15:31] sheesh [15:31] MikeSeth, never heard that before. Sounds interesting though. :) [15:31] erUSUL: ive just installed Ubuntu on one of my drives, rebooted and came up with Grub error 21 [15:31] erUSUL going multilanguage o.O [15:31] os2mac: mailbody is a textfile with the body of the mail [15:31] drag him to windows andask him [15:31] outbackwifi: is kindly helping [15:32] lol [15:32] i think :) [15:32] leeping2008: generally, knowing basic emacs/shell keys makes you productive in many, many applications [15:32] dunno how we can get converts at this rate [15:32] XeKtRuM: ;P [15:32] MikeSeth, do you use the emacs shell? [15:32] dmwit: i changeg the hardware.conf the lirc.conf and created a ~/.lircrc file [15:32] newtolinux, probably, i'm going to search that for you [15:32] leeping2008: in the time between your and mine last line, I switched to MSN to write a couple of lines to the boss, jumped to a box to start the bots, and opened a new term with manual pages - interaction non-stop [15:33] leeping2008: yeap [15:33] and the problem is that pressing the buttons on the remote doesn't show any effect.

I might learn to use eshell... first step would be loading my .bashrc or something [15:34] PuG: that's from grub docs ... [15:34] erUSUL: thanks, hmm [15:34] erUSUL: so can only be caused by a raid issue [15:34] PuG: the old way of doing this was to run fdisk /mbr [15:35] Hey guys. Am playing around with screenlets on my desktop. All is fine, but can someone tell me how to stop them being minimized with the rest of the windows when I hit the "show desktop" button?

[18:08] just like putty command sender [18:08] kaushal: that tool is bash [18:08] outbackwifi: yeah [18:08] lz1gjd: did that have to do with reduced lifespan of harddrives? [18:09] outbackwifi, bash is a shell interpreter :) [18:09] yes [18:09] ESphynx: so just add the path to the libs to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig in your post-installation script [18:09] im using latest mint and i see its set for too short in my opinion [18:09] should we really worry about it ? [18:10] kaushal: it is also the most powerful programming environment known to man [18:10] outbackwifi, i am asking for a similar tool in the line of putty command sender [18:10] outbackwifi: i'm being told ld.so.conf is automatically generated? [18:10] lz1gjd, there is a daemon out for linux called laptop_mode there are many settings for laptop mode including inactivity times for disks and delayed buffer wrights that tend to start up the disk again [18:10] outbackwifi: Uh? no that would be ecere :P [18:10] lz1gjd, if your conserned about these settings you may want to modify them your self [18:10] <_paneb> what do i need to get the deb command?

[18:11] <_paneb> outbackwifi, right nevermind [18:11] lz1gjd: techinically, that was a bug in the harddrives, not in ubuntu, just so you know. So, I think there was debate about how to handle it. Not sure what happened... [18:12] lz1gjd, sometimes depending on the system and what the system is doing the settings are affected greatly or may actually be inaffective [18:13] how to setup tar.gz?? [18:13] how can I install dpkg on a non ubuntu distro? [18:13] cuil: maybe tar xvcf file.tar.gz [18:14] xvzf [18:14] lz1gjd, probably the first thing you would want to check is if there is a program or daemon that is wighting or reading large amounts of data from your disk consistently this would cause a over-ride of the settings and cause the disk to spin up very soon after it has shut down [18:14] cuil: if its source, tar zxvf src_files.tar.gz; cd src_files; .configure; make; sudo make install [18:14] danbhfive, i can't make it [18:14] cuil: sudo apt-get install build-essential [18:14] hey people.

Now when I run the live CD, the startup screen shows properly, but the desktop is sliced. Some peaces appear twice, some don't appear at all. I suppose it has to do with the monitor getting a 800x600 signal. When I move to 'screen resolution' in the system menu, I can only choose between 640x480 and 800x600. I can't [18:16] rag: not yet [18:16] ESphynx: then get some help from the appriote irc channel [18:16] jack_spratt you try it [18:16] lz1gjd, if you watch the moniter closely you should see a spike of disk usage a little while after the disk has shut down causing it to spin back up [18:16] appropriate [18:17] how to force ext3 file system check?

Google the xorg.conf settings first and understand it. [18:17] !fsck | genius [18:17] genius: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [18:17] jack_spratt: look this http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2006.1/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=2 [18:18] jack_spratt: there is a list acpi options, down [18:18] Cyberai: Thanks for the try, but /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist in live mode, please read my first post again [18:18] hello somebdoy can help me? [18:18] Ravn: no clue [18:18] I had forgotten my user name and password.

I started xorg of chroot in another display and I copied my config file (xorg.conf) in chroot/etc/X11... but when I enter CTRL-ALT-F9(chroot display) the mouse doesn't work. Why? === richard_ is now known as richardx [18:54] gut: is the physical device present? [18:54] is anybody trying to figure out what my problem is? i'm not pressuring you :-D i'm just trying to understand if i have to wait here... :-P [18:54] like a /dev/crap [18:54] nn64, yes... but I use he same .config file [18:54] Kian84_ try typing the command eject [18:54] outbackwifi, yes... [18:54] Kian84_: i've fed it to the solution machine [18:55] msg nickserv identify gybe333 [18:55] gut; then try mountig it manually [18:55] "eject" doesn't do anything [18:55] gut, did you build the kernel from source ? [18:55] lol [18:55] server irc.irchighway.net [18:55] there goes someones password and nick [18:55] nn64, can i do it using livecd ?

[18:57] Is there a way to be able to continue normal videos from where I stopped viewing them even if I closed the video player? [18:57] rubystallion no [18:57] totem does that by default [18:57] :D [18:57] oh my god, dmesg returned a lot of stuff...... mainly "hardware error" [18:57] there you go [18:57] outbackwifi: It doesn't do it for me. [18:57] gut, Probably the best way to fix this is to get a new kernel from your dist archive [18:57] noodlesgc: Why didn't anybody implement it? [18:58] gut, do you know how to get into a terminal ? [18:58] rubystallion dunno, maybe they didn't want to [18:58] Anybody: how do I change the setting that gives me _ë_ when I type _"_ followed by _e_?

[19:41] EugenMayer: You need to specify it as the default using the update-java-alternatives command in the terminal. [19:41] airtonix: although it looks like the most promising so far [19:42] bobertdos: thats what i was searching for, thank you [19:42] EugenMayer: no problem :) [19:42] assargadon_: Hmmm, its odd that one boots and not the other. It *could* feasibly be a regression with the RAID I guess? You should file a bug about it. [19:43] ar, a guide on ubuntu forums about using projectm : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=749793&highlight=visualisation [19:43] kasuko: What error do you get when trying to install wine?

[19:44] Yeasterday :) [19:44] So I should check my raid regression [19:44] Is there any way to configure shortcuts in gnome? [19:44] assargadon_: It may be that you have to do something to get new kernels to work, or it might be that the 16 kernel worked, and the -19 doesn't (a regression in the kernel, basically a bug). [19:45] assargadon_: so, filing a bug certainly wouldn't hurt, unfortunately I'm not too familiar with RAIDs and troubleshooting.

At first it was locked, because it was mounted, but now it has a sign with a "!" next to it and I am still unable to resize. Any ideas?

[19:46] thanks [19:46] kasuko: Nope, just wanted to make sure you weren't compiling [19:46] Flannel, if I'll decide it's a bug: what a place for placing this bug on?

I highly suggest that you install a more recent version of Ubuntu. [19:53] maphiosomirin, if you had put your '/home' on a seperate partition from your system then a clean install would not pose as many problems as it would if you had not [19:53] Pici, i can install the new version only without uninstall this version, type, i put the cd room on drive and update the system / [19:54] maphiosomirin: No, you cannot upgrade directly from 5.10 to 8.04.

[19:57] hey anyone know how to open an application to a specific workspace from the terminal? [19:57] sidewalk, I hit enter as you did - ... so what is the last package you see on screen before it dies [19:58] sidewalk, did you abort an update? [19:58] if anyone here knows assembly plz reply [19:58] ompaul: Setting up libc6 (2.7-10ubuntu3) ... [19:58] cleanux: no, but an update aborted on me :-( [19:58] hi guys!

[20:03] abed: i took a class in microprocessors so i know a bit [20:04] joeas qr i need to know everythin so if u have ebooks , tuts i will be thankful [20:05] Abed: you can't possibly learn every assembly language... that's like trying to learn every scripting language. [20:05] who'd want to learn assembly for remote controllers' chipsets anyway [20:05] Abed: what archetecture do you need to program for. I know most intro assembly classes use virtual machines with simplified archetectures, you should find out what one you're going to be using. [20:05] Abed: This isn't really ontopic for #ubuntu. I've already told you that ##asm is the proper place to ask, they seem to have lots of links in their channel's topic. === fire- is now known as Fire- [20:06] Abed, its really not worth the effort to learn asm really learn c++ and find a compiler for that chip [20:06] hello! I'm in need of buying a Firewire Controller for an Audio Card; they recommend Texas Instrument's chipsets. Does anybody know whether they work well with Ubuntu? [20:06] nn64 so c++ is better? [20:06] Abed: most anything is better than assembly if you intend on getting anything actually _done_. [20:06] more usable at least, whilst maybe not for an asm class :D [20:07] well it depends, on some occassions it is better. Othertimes asm will get the job done quicker [20:07] ok guys can i connect c++ with a shipset or so?

[20:14] <|f|> philip, run alsamixer in console and see if nothing is set as [MM] [20:14] Great, is there some kind of tool to know what ntfs-3g mounts are currently active?

[20:16] joeas, you can't [20:16] umm just says cannot open :-X [20:16] yes, i can see that barbarella . [20:16] ok thanks [20:16] vrang: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb [20:16] ah yes, of course [20:16] good afternoon [20:16] joeas, but you can open gedit in workspace1 and move it to workspace2 [20:17] <|f|> philip, are you streaming anything?

[20:18] joeas: You can use devilspie to set rules etc [20:18] if [ "a"=="b" ]; then echo equals; fi that echoes ne "equals". This is the normal behavior ? [20:18] joeas: Like if a window has a certain title, it's placed on a certain workspace etc [20:18] hateball, joeas: devilspie only works with metacity iirc, not compiz. [20:19] joeas, yes but unfortunately it dosen't work that way. beryl has a way where you can drag the window from one workspace to a nother workspace. [20:19] Pici: Oh I read it as different virtual desktops :o [20:19] hateball: He may be talking about that too, but I just wanted to throw that in. [20:20] nn64: cool i'll just continue right-clicking:) [20:20] I suppose if it says HPFS/NTFS that's ok [20:20] vrang: yup [20:20] anyone? [20:20] Alright, I was worried for the data [20:21] vrang: if you want to get extra fancy, install ntfs-utils, umount your partition(s), and run ntfsinfo on them [20:21] interesting, i might try that [20:21] not sure what it'd give me [20:21] joeas, after you get used to it, you will do it so quick that it won't matter any more. [20:22] well, it's got the word 'info' in it... in this case, that actually means something ;) [20:22] Anybody know why would only gedit show up in view on the small virtual desktop selector even though opened in one desktop in xfce?

[21:25] unop: no [21:25] Dabbu, not sure then [21:26] unop: ok [21:26] Nilesh: I did not compile whole kernel. Only the drivers/input/mouse modules... its the 2.6.24-19-generic [21:26] ok [21:26] i did this: sudo make SUBDIRS=drivers/input/mouse/ modules_install [21:27] troubled : so whenever you compile kernel you have to create new kernel image which u can use for next reboots [21:27] but the modification dates on the modules in /lib/modules/../kernel/drivers/input/mouse are still outdated [21:28] i don't need new kernel image, i just need to replace the old module with the new one [21:28] are you following any kernel compilation document ? [21:28] no, the ubuntu documentation is lacking in showing how to recompile drivers that are part of the kernel and then installing them (without having to compile whole kernel) [21:28] if its only module [21:29] so i've sort of worked it out myself - but im just wondering how i install it properly so that the system loads it :) [21:29] you can load/unload module [21:29] yep i have tested, it works [21:29] ircsisap user check ubuntuuser [21:29] cool [21:30] guys... why battery gnome applet show me "discharging time" and "remaining time" with different values: http://link.imgshare.us/92jXsK [21:30] you have to make changes in /etc/modprobe.conf [21:30] aha.. [21:30] guys, windows has an estimate time of 3 hours while ubuntu show me only 2 hours [21:30] i forgot its ubuntu [21:30] it is an empty file [21:30] yeah :D [21:31] is it "proper" enough to just replace the old .ko with the new one? [21:31] Hi there, im trying to get builtin bluetooth working on my Dell d620 laptop..Ive tried some howto\s [21:31] Ive found on google [21:31] yeah [21:31] you have to put that .ko at the proper place [21:31] But nothing seems to work.. Anybody here who could give a helping hand? [21:31] msetim: battery time remaining is not reported directly by the battery, it's calculated by the system based off of past experience with the battery. Use it for a while and let it acclimatize to get good estimates. [21:32] how do I search for a file/dir using the terminal in a directory? [21:32] let me find out [21:32] can you remember the proper place? I am not to good with that. is it /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/ ?

[21:33] xintron: the locate command might also be usefull.. [21:33] Jefo: just a thought, but are your username and password entered correctly? [21:33] qr, o.k... however gnome battery applet respect it? Will it perform "low battery action" using estimate or the remaining time reported by battery? [21:33] can a usb pendrive become unbootable but work fine as a pendrive for instance ? [21:33] xintron, find /some/path -name '*keyword*' [21:34] Proximo, yes [21:34] msetim: the battery does not report remaining time, so it will use the estimate [21:34] ircsisap user check ubuntuuser [21:34] qr, o.k :) [21:35] hi all. i have set up an apache2 ssl cert using this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/forum/server/apache2/SSL but the newly created cert is only valid for 1 month. how can i change that to be valid for 1 year? [21:35] xintron: locate filename works fast, but limited by locate database which *might* not be up to date.. find will help you search for lots more details (find -name filename, or find -size filesize, etc..) [21:35] qr: are you joking? ;) [21:35] msetim: actually, it will probably not use time at all and instead use the remaining charge reported by the battery (so, do something when the battery hits 5% charge for instance) [21:35] Jefo: no, I'm not [21:36] phoenixz, permissions withstanding, locate does not display other users' files too [21:36] does anyone have an idea why checkgmail doesnt work for me, it says "bad username or password" but its correct for SURE!! [21:36] unop: and find does? [21:36] Jefo, I've gotten that error before with the correct user/pass but I cleared the login boxes and re-entered and it worked for me again [21:37] [21:37] phoenixz, yes, provided you have read access to the directory you are using find in .. obviously [21:37] Does anyone know if there will be a google chrome deb soon? [21:37] qr, right. I will do it ;) [21:37] Nilesh: The make install put my recompiled kernel module into /lib/modules/2.6.24.3/extradrivers/input/mouse/ it seems.. surely this is wrong - as it is the wrong kernel version [21:37] nope doesnt work [21:37] xintron: there is no linux version of chrome [21:38] erUSUL: It's open source... [21:38] yes [21:38] does your current kernel version supports your changes [21:38] xintron: open source != trivial to port to linux by anyone [21:38] unop: xintron: use locae then for things like system files... correct unop?

Now I can't seem to boot into ubuntu. I think it's because I'm using lvm. Can anyone help? [21:39] Nilesh: I'm not sure what you mean. I believe so, I've not done anything fancy. Just changed the module a little. [21:39] phoenixz, correct .. but it depends, as you said locate is not very reliable if the updatedb is not up-to-date [21:39] hmmm [21:39] fine should not be a problem [21:40] cafree: that might mean you are scr****d.. what is the problem exactly? [21:40] lets make sure we are including new compiled module while rebooting host [21:40] xintron: i quote Although many Chromium modules build under Linux and a few unit tests pass, nothing actually runs. [21:40] phoenixz: Basically, it tells me it can't find one of my logical volumes [21:41] hello all [21:41] I end up in BusyBox [21:41] Nilesh: I don't think it can if it is in the wrong place. It probably will if i cp and replace manually [21:41] erUSUL: Sure enough, people will work on it and get it working within the month... no.. strike that.. week.. [21:41] Nilesh: I am jsut confused why it installed there instead of the correct place [21:41] why dont you try one thing [21:42] phoenixz: do not bet on that [21:42] keep a copy of old module [21:42] glade crashes when I try to open a .glade file.

[23:06] unop, I can send it to you, if you are into seeing it [23:06] how can i make the xconf file not read only ?? [23:06] Miyavix3: Just close Rhythmbox when it pops up and open the file browser where you will see your ipod to the left, in the "places" list [23:06] johndela1, well, put an excerpt of the script up on a pastebin -- atleast upto the point where it fails [23:06] johndela1, i'll see what i can do [23:06] reconfigure -xorg i think [23:07] sudo* [23:07] QtQ, heh, that won't work [23:07] !sudo | Ahmed-Alaa [23:07] Ahmed-Alaa: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[23:16] also why then would the computer be able to log back on after the laptop has an IP and is connected? [23:16] s000501: Why do you need rsync 3? [23:16] compu73rg33k, that is quite possible, i know some universities do that -- to be able to monitor your actions, limit bandwidth, etc [23:16] DIFH-iceroot: how do you use ubuntu without /home? sorry i dont get it...? [23:16] the problem is *only* on the laptop - I've reinstalled ubuntu and used bootup CDs and they all have the same rsult [23:17] ...to synchronize directories which mostly consists of hard links; without the data to be sent is twice as large!

[23:18] okay nevermind apparently each computer gets it's own IP - my roommates computer had a diff one than mine [23:19] test34, you can .. but it is not recommended .. if you really want new perl packages, use the cpan and cpanp utilities to update your perl modules [23:19] s000501: You could try backporting the package from intrepid [23:19] but even when I put it on dhcp and run dhclient, it just hangs and never gets an IP [23:19] unop: ok thanks [23:19] test34, of look at !prevu as a means of building and backporting intrepid packages on hardy.

I can't find it. [23:22] I'm wondering if it only allows one linux book per room, but that idea sounds pretty stupid IMO lol [23:22] compu73rg33k, well, that wouldn't be a good way to test it out -- does the other room have a similar setup to yours, with another machine and 4-port switch etc? [23:22] And my friend has a windows laptop here and it works fine - also if I boot into windows it connects fine [23:23] I tried installing a lexmark x2500 printer but it wouldn't print anything, whenever I tried to it said the printer may be disconnected [23:23] Yeah there was an XBOX and someone else's computer connected [23:24] so this problem is *only* affecting my laptop in my room - which is the worst case senario b/c i use my laptop the most and i'm in my room most often lol [23:24] i'm having trouble with half configured packages [23:24] compu73rg33k, how do you refresh the DHCP lease? simple ifup ?
