[00:00] salaz have you tried kdenlive [00:01] Why would my webcam work with cheese but not camorama? [00:01] tj83, looks like Pulse Audio is the culprit (or somehow the audio system): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/226342 [00:01] Launchpad bug 226342 in pulseaudio "pulseaudio module-alsa-sink.c Error..." [Medium,Triaged] [00:01] tj83, thx for your ideas :) [00:01] ouch... bloody bots... [00:02] i got the nvidia-config.tar.gz from nvidia site with the .run file my system already has /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig when i did make the new nvidia-xconfig is bigger, should i overwrite and cp nvidia-xconfig /usr/bin [00:02] sorry for pasting blindly, didn't know a servicial bot would output that [00:02] dr_willis, sometimes weird things happen ;) [00:02] casao possably one uses v4l and the other vfl2 [00:02] unop: you want me to remove line and replace it with that? [00:03] lol [00:03] hello sinners :) [00:03] ubuntu won't mount my ntfs partition with "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/XP" [00:03] Pirate_Hunter, no, just place it in in on line #2 .. shifting everything else downwards if needed [00:03] I cant find a tut for VMware install on Ubuntu 8.4 [00:03] it is an ntfs partition and it is sda1, checked with fdisk [00:03] please help [00:03] phantom1: use VirtuALBOX [00:03] boone-ubuntu, and does mount fail with any errors? [00:03] koshari: what? you mean that drivers are on an application level - ie 2 applicatiosn could use different drivers to access the same device? [00:03] !I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:03] badman: chill dude [00:03] No news about the freeze issue? [00:03] seekingtruth: VirtuALBOX = the same as VM ware? [00:04] phantom1: more or less, yes [00:04] unop:, yes it says /dev/sda1 is an invalid argument, and it doesn't have a valid ntfs [00:04] phantom1: yes, its great [00:04] How can I make Amarok download ALL my album artwork that has not yet been downloaded without going ablum to album? [00:04] phantom1: and it even supports the vmware format [00:04] boone-ubuntu, are you sure you have the right device? use sudo fdisk -l to find out [00:04] phantom1: http://www.virtualbox.org/ [00:04] phantom1: im runnung Ubuntu on it now [00:05] fdisk sayd /dev/sda1 is at the begining fo the drive and is HPFS/NTFS [00:05] *says [00:05] boone-ubuntu, what does file -s /dev/sda1 #give you? [00:05] can syslog and syslog-ng be run at the same time without problems? [00:05] Nobody knows if there are any news about Hardy Heron's infamous freeze issue?

Once I do that, can I run Ubuntu entirely on the Flash? I do not want to mount any of the drives that are in my laptop. [00:06] boone-ubuntu, can you put the output of this up on a pastebin. sudo fdisk -l [00:06] linuxguymarshall use the album art app [00:06] koshari: that's.... odd. well, shit [00:06] is it safe to remove pulseaudio from your system? [00:06] phantom1: and everything here is compatible with virtualbox. http://www.vmware.com/appliances/ [00:07] peeps: Yes [00:07] unop: sorry, with suo it says a lot, http://pastebin.com/m67ef5e88 [00:07] casao i also found the image quality varied greatly between some apps, suprising if they were using the same driver [00:07] whats the benefit of pulseaudio anyway? [00:07] over alsa? [00:08] boone-ubuntu, perhaps try using ntfs-3g instead. sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/XP [00:08] peeps pulseaudio is like jack and allows multiple apps to use the hardware concurrently [00:08] is there an easy way to find the process to a window? tried to run a deb but it's hung and i don't see anything labeled synaptic of apt-get or gnome-open in the process list [00:08] koshari: but so does alsa? [00:08] Good evening. [00:08] unop: same error, the thing that really confuses me is that /dev/sda1 is an invalid argument [00:08] peeps: It has a lot of features like redirecting output to other computers on the network, per-application volume control etc, I also think it is needed for gnome sound effects but I never use those anyway [00:09] no, if one app has a lock on the hardware a second will report hardware not available [00:09] boone-ubuntu, what are the permissions on /dev/sda1 ? [00:09] I really need a new GFX card that is definitely supported by current drivers. Can you name any models or tell me what to look out for when going shopping? [00:09] unop: how do i check? [00:09] boone-ubuntu, ls -l [00:09] koshari: ive only ever see oss do that [00:09] how to determine partition sector count [00:09] brw-rw---- 1 root [00:09] koshari: No, alsa allows multiple apps [00:09] peeps virtualbox does it [00:10] eeh, i don't use virtualbox too often [00:10] interesting though [00:10] boone-ubuntu, hmm. maybe this. pmount-hal /dev/sda1 [00:10] peeps it was just an example. pulse may not be perfect yet but in time i guess it will have more app support, remember the purose of puls is not to replace alsa [00:11] I'm having problems getting twinview to work with my ATI card, and it doesnt seem to be any good guides out there, someone know if this is hard? [00:11] koshari: sure, i just don't know why its default on ubuntu [00:11] hey, can anybody in here help me? [00:11] when i try to use a password to connect to the vnc server on my other computer it says auth faile but with no pasword i can connect .. any ideas ? [00:12] unop: /dev/sda1 is not removable, could not execute pmount [00:12] Is it possible to play steam games on ubuntu and if so how? [00:12] FL1cK posably [00:12] what do you mean possibly? [00:13] like can I play counterstrike 1.6 on it. [00:13] hello all, i recently helped a friend recover his data from a crashed windows computer using a LiveCD, I was wondering if it was possible to install the java pkg while in the livedisc so that i can get him an online virus scan to possibly save hsi computer [00:13] peeps i guess because jack is a bit of a mess [00:13] koshari: sort of [00:13] *his [00:13] can anyone help me with this ? [00:14] my biggest complaint is that pulse seems to mess with my wine gaming sound, but eeh, ill stop complainin' [00:14] anyone know if that's possible on the livecd? [00:14] wait [00:14] #poland [00:14] peeps [00:14] are you talking about for 1.6t [00:14] ? [00:14] Is it it possible to play counterstrike 1.6 on ubuntu? [00:14] FL1cK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:14] cant I use nvidia-settings with ATI cards to set up TwinView? Anyone? [00:14] i tried searching but they are all old posts and say they fixed the bug at the end :/ [00:14] FL1cK: yes, with wine. [00:14] boone-ubuntu, /dev/sda1 is a fixed drive right? [00:14] peeps wine doesnt have pulse support yet, its still jack orientated, [00:14] okay, [00:14] padlefotf: isnt twinview nvidia-specifc? [00:14] leFou_, what java package do you plan to install? [00:14] and is there anyway to install ubuntu without losing all of my files but still getting rid of windows? [00:15] when i try to use a password to connect to the vnc server on my other computer it says auth faile but with no pasword i can connect .. any ideas ? [00:15] freeflowcauvery, sun-java6-jre [00:15] FL1cK backup [00:15] FL1cK: yes, take a backup. [00:15] FL1cK yes, backup>resize>install [00:15] how do i do that? [00:15] Kopfgeldjager: thats what i thought, but i found a guide in the ubuntuforums that suggests it [00:15] bern dvds [00:15] im on vista currently. [00:15] FL1cK: copy your files onto an external disk, device, or media. [00:15] unop: sorry i had to go eat dinner - but yes the computer (used to) pick up an IP right away when I would unplug the computer's cable - but now that doesn't work anymore [00:15] freeflowcauvery, or any other that works... [00:15] FL1cK regardless of the OS the first step is still BACKUP [00:16] okay [00:16] and how do i clear my HD so i can reinstall [00:16] like how do i whipe my HD so i can install ubuntu === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [00:17] FL1cK: use livecd to do that [00:17] FL1cK what i did to dual boot vista was partimage the partitiion, delete vista partition create new smaller ntfs partition, then put the partinmage back on that image, as i have a OEM acer restore disc rather than an install one [00:17] so just burn it onto a disk and it will do the rest for me? [00:17] compu73rg33k, does rebooting the machine help? [00:18] no, not even reinstalling the OS helps - apparently that's hurt it actually and now the laptop won't even connect when the computer isn't plugged in [00:18] FL1cK if you want to dual boot ie stil have vista available you should check one of the many guides availabe [00:18] freeflowcauvery? do you have a solution? [00:18] dmesg | tail says "eth0: no IPv6 routers present" [00:18] no, i dont want to dual boot. [00:18] and "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" not sure what that means [00:18] unop, it seem to be working dont know if it is that change i made or because this time i run it through synaptic choosing option "fix broken package" either way it works, thanks for your time [00:18] I want the easiest way to reformat with ubuntu without losing my files and having my drivers work. [00:19] Pirate_Hunter, ahh well [00:19] Pirate_Hunter, :) [00:19] FL1cK if you have backed up ALL your data somple follew the install prompts [00:19] and will my drivers and shit work [00:19] ? [00:19] FL1cK and ubuntu uses its own drivers, not windows ones [00:19] FL1cK: aint you asking for too much there... [00:20] Pirate_Hunter: lol your right :) [00:20] FL1cK [00:20] FL1cK boot of the live disc and you will see pretty quick if your hardware is supported [00:20] padlefotf: i would be highly suspect of that guide if it tells you to use nvidia-settings(think about it) and twinview w/ an ATI card [00:21] I am a complete newbie, so please bear with me. What is the easiest way to open the shell in Ubuntu? [00:21] hello all, i recently helped a friend recover his data from a crashed windows computer using a LiveCD, I was wondering if it was possible to install the java pkg while in the livedisc so that i can get him an online virus scan to possibly save his computer [00:21] lazukars >menu >acc>terminal [00:21] im trying to create a startup script in the rc?.d/ to contain all my static routes from a link to a file /etc/init.d/staticroutes can anyone help ????? [00:22] lazukars: alt+f2 type gnome-terminal [00:22] leFou_ you should be able to providing it dont need a reboot [00:22] IndyGunFreak: You might be right, but it wouldnt supprise me if it worked. know of any good ways to configure it btw? [00:22] padlefotf: it would surprise me if it worked. [00:22] padlefotf: if you want to use nvidia-settings, use an nvidia card [00:23] IndyGunFreak: yeah ur probably right. isnt there any tools similar but for ati? [00:23] IndyGunFreak i am suprised even when ati cards work with 3d in linux let alone twinview [00:23] anyone [00:23] yea [00:23] im trying to create a startup script in the rc?.d/ to contain all my static routes from a link to a file /etc/init.d/staticroutes can anyone help ????? [00:23] koshari: true, i never got dualscreens to work w/ ATI, and i put a substantial effort into it.. finally gave up and went nvidia, and it takes me all of 20sec after a clean install. [00:24] padlefotf: no, ati pretty much sucks for Linux(although thatshould change in the future) [00:24] IndyGunFreak this may change in the future not ati are taking a different path with drivers but i wont be holding my breath [00:24] Pirate_Hunter:thanks so much. Also this is probably a very stupid question, but where is the menu on Ubuntu? I can not find it. [00:24] koshari: i'm hopeful [00:25] unop: thanks for trying to debug it, gonna use my usb drive to transfer stuff for now, I'll post on the forums [00:25] lazukars under acessories [00:25] has anyone seen the NEW GOOGLE WEB BROWSER !!!!

[00:26] Thanks again Pirate_hunter [00:26] padlefotf: wel,l that should be an accomplishment [00:26] you ok Danny? [00:26] IndyGunFreak, envy took care of it, guess i was lucky with that one [00:27] hi [00:27] thanks for the correction koshari. That is one thing that I am confused about when learning unix. What is the terminal? and what is the difference between the terminal and shell? [00:27] padlefotf: lol, yeha, you were lucky all right, right up until envy does a number on your system. [00:27] where is the sesame open up? [00:28] i've got a usb hard drive which is unrecognized in gparted, how can i rescue all the data that are inside ? [00:28] lazukars: The terminal is the command line interface, the place to issue text-based commands. [00:28] IndyGunFreak, lucky for me i have nvidia then, works right out the box;) guess ill have to turn my phone off when my pal calls me next time [00:28] koshari, but it wont becuase it keeps referring me to other packages [00:28] Im so happy my bios regconize it [00:28] lazukars technically the shell is an application called bash (born again shell) but the terminal is fine when refering to it. [00:28] lazukars: the shell is the actual interpreter that parses your commands. the terminal is just the interface. [00:28] koshari, and they're all unavailable for dwld [00:28] no need to update [00:29] bern dvds [00:29] when i try to use a password to connect to the vnc server on my other computer it says auth faile but with no pasword i can connect .. any ideas ?

[00:34] hello [00:35] does anyone know if its possible to update from 6.04 to 7.04? [00:35] adept fails on repo errors.. [00:35] i just wanted a clean slate for linux. I completely left micros*ft in the dirt [00:35] Ok, I am dual booting Win XP and Kubuntu 8.04.1 KDE 4. I downloaded the ndiswrapper (on XP because I have my drivers installed on it) and put it on a flash drive. I booted Kubuntu and extracted ndiswrapper. Then I went and read the file it gives about how to install it. I followed the directions word for word (except it didn't say make uninstall and make as root but I had to because I didn't... [00:35] ...have sufficient permission otherwise). However, on the make and make install parts I kept getting errors, but I kept going. When it got to the part to install the driver ("ndiswrapper -i driver.inf"), I was notified that ndiswrapper wasn't installed and I needed to apt-get it. Well, that won't work because the whole reason I need it is to connect to the internet (apt-get and surf and... [00:35] ...stuff). I can't figure out what the problem is. (BTW I also tried sudo apt-get while booted on the liveCD and logged-in on Kubuntu with the disk in the drive.) Any ideas? [00:36] coderipper: If you would rather reformat completely, then like kindofabuzz said, use gparted. [00:36] sorry, 6.10 to 7.04 [00:36] unop: also when I don't have eth0 configured in /etc/network/interfaces it says "ignoring unknown interface eth0" but if i execute ifconfig it lists it there just w/ no information obviously [00:36] coderipper if you dont want the ntfs partition anymore, simly backup any data you have and install linux following the prompts [00:37] Does anyone know if there a gedit latex plugin for Ubuntu HH?

[00:37] thanks [00:37] vantrigger: use xchat or pidgin if you prefer [00:37] it's an irc client [00:37] i will try gparted. I have linux installed on another drive. I should have formatted both when i installed. [00:38] np [00:38] that mean i would have two clients open.. =[ [00:38] slacker_nl: to 8.04 yes, 7.04 yes (although why you would only go up to 7.04 I don't know) [00:38] bobertdos, im using the livedisc to help me friend do his stuff while his comp is down for the count [00:38] leFou_ you may be better running chkdsk -r from a win disc [00:38] anyone know how to fix this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=905406 [00:38] anyone know why I wouldn't be able to add synaptic the the System->Administration menu?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:44] Buzzons, why not just set your static ip for your computers in your router and just use dhcp in ubuntu [00:45] that's if your router supports it [00:45] anyone here know of a mirror for google chrome?

[01:09] k [01:09] ufw tut [01:09] alistair: add it to your panel [01:09] if you put deny any port [01:09] jrib, yes, its on the panel [01:09] it says invalid port [01:09] like [01:09] ufw deny 456 [01:09] alistair: so you should just have to click on the icon [01:09] then it says bad port [01:09] TheKiNG: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [01:10] jrib, sec Ill just run it off terminal again and find out whats the probnby [01:10] A search on google didn't return any results for your model. Are you sure that is the exact model number? [01:10] Hey all, I'm trying to run a ubuntu server on my network, I setup the remote desktop on ubuntu. When the server was running from my room and i was able to login via login screen and vnc into it through my laptop. but when i moved it to my garage for connectivity and started my machine up I cant login via login screen cause i have no monitor set up out there and the vnc wont connect [01:11] WastePotato: yes but it is older, so it might not come up, i did find it on the actual compaq website [01:11] WastePotato: it matches perfectly, but it says broadcom [01:11] jrib, maybe because : Unable to locate 'gnomesu' in your PATH [01:12] WastePotato: maybe i looked up the manufactuer of the card wrong here is the first six characters 00:14:a5 [01:12] alistair: erm, I don't have gnomesu either :/ [01:12] Thanks. [01:12] Any intake? [01:12] who used ufw? [01:14] hi evening! [01:14] jrib, just found its installed, and put the icon in the menu, but there is no program information there. - its only a minor. [01:15] is there anyway i can reset/remove gtk-chTheme conf? i cannot revert back to human theme... HELP! [01:15] alistair: you installed tomboy through APT? It may not like kde :/ [01:15] jrib, re search pse try putting on same note beach and beaches motel then do the same search think youll find it will highlight both. [01:16] brad__: f you wanted to totally start from scratch, you could delete the metacity and gnome (hidden) folders in your home directory. [01:16] alistair: what do you want me to search for exactly? [01:17] why cant i watch videos on ubuntu? [01:17] VSG, do know also know if it can connect to A type wireless networks as well?

[01:17] bobertdos: thats it? just delete it? [01:17] jrib, no, im just trying to say, if you have on same note those items but search for words beach motel it will highlight the entry beach and also highlight the entry beach motel which is undesired [01:17] if anybody knows how to use ufw [01:18] dvd [01:18] i wanna know how do you block ports from a range [01:18] like, 4-10 [01:18] etc [01:18] it didnt ask to install plugins [01:18] brad__: Yeah, there's a series of hidden directories in your home directory. If you delete them, and then restart gdm, everything will completely reset. [01:18] still cant figure out how to adjust brightness [01:18] alistair: ah, I see.

[01:39] Ivan_24_: Vaya a ubuntu-es, por favor! [01:39] How do I completely delete older kernels? I have install the new one and it works. [01:40] i had ot click on the top right blue bars to get it work.... thxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx w / lo [01:40] brightwebworks: you remove them manually with Synaptic or whatever [01:40] LSD|Ninja: ok [01:40] d3sign, you could alwyas 'ssh' into the server, and start 'vncserver' manually, then connect to the now persistant vnc desktop. You dont have4 to vnc to the 'gdm' login screen.. its doable that way.. but not required [01:40] Hey, does the remote desktop viewer (Vinagre) have a listen mode? [01:40] Syco54645_AAO: it should. Tell us more about the script. Does it start ok from a shell now? [01:40] It seems i cant even putty to it [01:41] any other ideas or just keep guessing different partitions until i don't get the Error 17? [01:41] there's really only 2 partitions it could be [01:41] jrib: it starts fine in a terminal within x. if you try to go to tty1 (ctrl alt f1) then it fails because it requires x. [01:41] Syco54645_AAO: check ~/.xsession-errors [01:42] d3sign, the ssh server is not installed by default. [01:42] Hey all, just wondering, does the remote desktop viewer (Vinagre) have a listen mode? [01:42] ahh that was my second question lol, so the thrid would be if i can have it setup where the vnc server automatically turns on [01:42] ... [01:43] What image viewer can I use in place of "Image Viewer"? It distorts my vector images so I want a different one or a fix to that problem [01:43] linuxguymarshall, firefox displays .svg files [01:43] linuxguymarshall: what about gthumb [01:43] jrib: no error pertaining to xhotkeys that i see, or python for that matter [01:43] doggymenz:I need to zoom [01:44] Syco54645_AAO: how are you executing it in a shell? [01:44] pedro_:How can I make gthumb integrate with nautilus? [01:44] jrib: just by tying xhotkeys [01:44] Syco54645_AAO: where is the binary? [01:44] in ubuntu desktop, how does one create a "folder" on the root drive? [01:44] jrib: /usr/bin/xhotkeys [01:44] Lemont: sudo mkdir /whatever I'd imagine [01:44] I'm trying to make a "media" folder on the root drive, but I'm obviously new to linux [01:45] Lemont: what LSD|Ninja said [01:45] ok, thanks [01:45] Lemont: you should already have a /media [01:45] linuxguymarshall, i think firefox can zoom, but else Inkscape can view and zoom .svg images too [01:45] Lemont: that folder should already exist [01:45] Syco54645_AAO: don't know then. Can you link us to the homepage or is this something you wrote? [01:45] linuxguymarshall, "Eye of GNOME" (default viewer) works fine too, i think [01:45] doggymenz:I edit with inkscape but its annoying to fire up my editor just to view. I want a lightweight viewer [01:46] irc.bestirc.org [01:46] irc.bestirc.org [01:46] irc.bestirc.org [01:46] ViaPf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:46] jrib: no i did not write it. http://www.nongnu.org/xhotkeys/ [01:46] irc.bestirc.orgvirc.bestirc.org [01:46] ViaPf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:46] irc.bestirc.org [01:46] irc.bestirc.org [01:46] irc.bestirc.org [01:46] irc.bestirc.org [01:46] irc.bestirc.org [01:46] irc.bestirc.org [01:46] !tell me about ufw [01:46] dgarr, please see my private message [01:46] someone ban please [01:47] where the fudge are the ops [01:47] ban who? [01:47] i have added an alias to my .bashrc - how can i restart the file that the changes take effect ? [01:47] oh [01:47] i see now [01:47] Pirate_Hunter: he was k-lined [01:47] Is there any way to unrar archives compressed using winrar 3.x WITHOUT using the proprietary rar app? [01:47] I bought a second monitor for my system. Are there any guides on how to install it? [01:48] ok jrib even knowing that i dont know what k-lined is but can guess [01:48] hocmin - depends on your videocard [01:48] hydroponic: have you tried the "unrar" package? [01:48] doggymenz:It distorts [01:48] I know that lsmod will show all the currently inserted modules, but how do I know which module is associated with a specific device. Specificly, I have a SATA DVD, how do I find out which module the kernel is using for the SATA DVD drive? [01:48] monitor installs are cake [01:48] Pirate_Hunter, basically a server-wide IP ban [01:48] theking : you still around? [01:48] i wonder if he iptabled his way out of this chat room [01:48] haha [01:48] danielm_mc: geforce 9600gt [01:48] strategy, jrib: oh sweet [01:49] hocmin: are you already using the nvidia driver in your xorg.conf ? [01:49] jrib: Package unrar has no installation candidate [01:49] linuxguymarshall, if you click on the (1) button too? [01:49] !sata [01:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about sata [01:49] hydroponic: enable multiverse [01:49] danielm_mc: the "nvidia" driver? Yeah [01:49] awesome [01:50] you just need to add twinview to your xorg.conf [01:50] one second i'll find an example [01:50] ok [01:50] linuxguymarshall, i mean the magnify glass with 1 on it [01:50] http://www.vwdude.com/dropbox/xorg.conf [01:51] just leave out the resolutions unless you only want 1280x1024 [01:51] Syco54645_AAO: you could try writing a small shell script that calls sleep 10 first and also logs all output somewhere and see if that helps [01:51] doggymenz:It zooms me out. [01:51] how do i check all apps that have been installed on my system through terminal [01:51] jrib: that is a good idea. i will do that when i am done trying to get bluetooth working. thanks [01:51] Pirate_Hunter: aptitude search '~i' [01:52] dpkg -l [01:52] danielm_mc: what do I need, just the "twinview" part? [01:52] yeah pretty much [01:52] LSD|Ninja: thanks for the tip. ehehe [01:52] jrib: that will show me all my apps installed? [01:52] jrib - both dpkg + aptitude won't show _ALL_ packages installed on a system [01:52] only the ones that those apps track [01:52] danielm_mc: what will they miss? [01:52] or were used to install packacges [01:52] jrib: anything built from source [01:53] dpkg -l could theoretically show more [01:53] danielm_mc: packages implies deb to me [01:53] danielm_mc: ty [01:53] Quick dumb q, i changed to 1024x768 resolution, and now all my icons at the top left are re-arranged.(off button, date/time, etc) is this normal/how can i correct it? thanks =] [01:53] jrib: yeah i hear you, but the question was about all apps installed on a system === david is now known as Guest17133 [01:54] Pirate_Hunter: dpkg/aptitude will only know about deb packages you installed [01:54] anybody know whick of these modules is for a SATA dvd http://pastebin.com/f637bcac7 [01:54] danielm_mc: thanks, good point :) [01:54] jrib: ty daniel's seems easier to remember [01:54] danielm_mc: so, before I restart X.... All I did was add twinview. Is there a config util that I'll be working with once I restart X? [01:54] jrib: yah thats np [01:55] hocmin : ummm no i don't think you need to do anything else [01:55] everything should just autodetect [01:55] i think ? [01:56] Is there any way to unrar archives compressed using winrar 3.x WITHOUT using the proprietary rar app? [01:56] danielm_mc: so is twinview just duplicating the same thing on both screens? What if I want an extended desktop [01:56] hydroponic: what happened with my suggestion? [01:56] hi, I'm getting a usbfs error trying to hook up usb in virtualbox. [01:56] hocmin : it shouldn't clone ; it should be one huge desktop [01:56] /join ubuntu-cn [01:56] im trying to use lkl but there is nothing in /usr/share/keymaps [01:56] I've already edited mountdevsubfs.sh...... [01:56] are you getting the same thing on both screens with twinview option? [01:56] danielm_mc: so how is left/right side configured? [01:56] jrib: Package unrar has no installation candidate [01:56] are they stored in another directory sometimes? [01:56] do I need to do something else? [01:56] or how to i get them [01:56] hydroponic: enable multiverse....... [01:56] danielm_mc: I haven't restarted X yet [01:56] ah, missed that, sec [01:57] yah restart X [01:57] ok [01:58] where do i get keymaps? [01:59] or where else are they stored besides /usr/share [02:00] hydroponic: after you install that, you can use the gui and just double click on a rar or right click -> extract here [02:00] jrib: Thing is, there's no GUI. This is for a server and it's Debian Etch, not Ubuntu [02:00] I got b43-fwcutter but then tried ndiswrapper without success, now I don't know how to get wifi back. Any idea? [02:00] File-roller works for me locally [02:00] hydroponic: unrar should give you a shell command, but you should be asking in #debian [02:00] Can Evolution do IMAP? [02:01] jrib: Is the unrar shell command "unrar" ? [02:01] hydroponic: yeah [02:01] duiu,yes [02:01] hmm, is this the non-free version right? [02:01] hydroponic: yes [02:01] Hey guys, Is there a program that i can use to monitor my raid set up? [02:01] ok, thanks [02:02] is there a way that i can make a script to run a command that requires root privs so that i wont have to type the password [02:02] Jakob_the_liar: read 'man sudo' and search for NOPASSWD [02:02] like instead of sudo lkl and it asking i could put the password in the script [02:02] how to find device on wireless? [02:02] ive install my wireless..but i dont know how to find [02:02] wireless network [02:02] how do i search in man jrib [02:03] excuse me: I have a website hosted on hostgator.com and my SSH shell is activated. How can I access it in Ubuntu? [02:03] is there some "system volume" adjusment in ubuntu? [02:03] so that its not case sensitive [02:03] BunTai, have you tryed lspci [02:03] nn64 [02:03] can u teach me? [02:03] im new about wireless [02:03] BunTai: network icon, top right corner of the screen? [02:03] BunTai, iwconfig [02:03] yup [02:04] i see the network [02:04] Jakob_the_liar: /SEARCH_TERM [02:04] icon [02:04] Jakob_the_liar: 'n' to go to the next hit. 'N' to go backwards [02:04] it doesnt have NOPASSWD [02:04] any idea how to remove or change the NVidia splash when you load the login screen?? [02:04] but i dont know wether theres a wireless network around my office [02:04] BunTai: if your card is set up, you should see a list of networks when you click on that [02:04] Jakob_the_liar: sorry, 'man sudoers' [02:04] i dont know how to check it [02:04] i am using a keyboard [02:04] owh [02:04] but the keys are wrong [02:04] how can i change the keymap? [02:04] is there some volume adjustment? I don't see anything referring to "volume" or "sound" under Apps > System [02:05] if i add a new SATA device to a live system is there a way I can make the kernel/driver rescan the bus? [02:05] dr_willis: I got grub to find the root partition, but now when i try to set it up i get Error 22: No such partition [02:05] how do i know that i install the wireless correctly? [02:05] BunTai, .... I'm better at wireless in gentoo i have never needed to set it up in linux before [02:05] im using acer aspire 4520 [02:05] lemont: its not in system, i dont think, (not using gnome right now...) [02:05] I think I'm using X [02:06] lemont is there a multimedia category? [02:06] yes [02:06] BunTai: ok, try 'system > administration > hardware drivers and see if it mentions wireless in there [02:06] Zopiac1, you mean the Nvidia logo screen at startup? [02:06] ok wait [02:06] Lemont: You want to pump up the volume? [02:06] jrib: that worked, thank you! [02:06] compengi: ya [02:06] yes [02:06] Lemont: Right click the volume icon, hit open volume control [02:07] hydroponic: no problem [02:07] i don't see a volume icon [02:07] there's three thing in there [02:07] jrib, im not really understanding this [02:07] CpuDan86: I don't see a volume icon [02:07] all is in use [02:07] Lemont: hrm.... do you have a sound card installed? [02:07] wasnt that right? [02:07] yes, onboard [02:07] BunTai: What wireless chip, Broadcom? [02:07] atheros [02:07] Lemont: does it play sound? [02:07] Hey guys, Is there a program that i can use to monitor my raid set up? [02:07] Cpudan86: yes [02:07] Lemont: ie. does it work in ubuntu [02:08] BunTai: so there was a driver for your wireless and you installed it? [02:08] Cpudan86: yes, I have sound, just not as loud as other devices going into the same amp [02:08] atheros hardware acces layer [02:08] yes [02:08] hi [02:08] BunTai: In that it's working, just connect to the network you want in network manager [02:08] Lemont: your panels must be messed up then --- open a terminal and type gnome-volume-control [02:08] jrib, ray rushmore = NOPASSWD: /bin/kill, /bin/ls, /usr/bin/lprm [02:08] !wireless [02:08] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:08] what exactly does that mean? [02:08] is ray the user? [02:08] Lemont: from there - hit edit, preferences and check PCM [02:08] and what is rushmore? [02:08] Jakob_the_liar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:08] BunTai: but you don't see any wireless networks when you slick on the network icon at the top-right of the screen? [02:08] has anyone been successful on compilling chromium in ubuntu yet? [02:09] hey guys whats up?? im looking to change my theme on ubuntu and was wondering what the difference was between gtk 1.x, gtk 2.x and gdm? [02:09] Lemont: and any things with master in them [02:09] yup zcat[1] [02:09] Lemont: Once you have all that stuff viewable, you can adjust what you need [02:09] Jakob_the_liar: you'll have to read up, I really don't know without reading man sudoers again [02:09] i dont know wether i setup my wireless right or wrong [02:09] is there ANY posibility to have two network cards in my box, and make one share the internet and the other receive it? is that posible? [02:09] :( [02:09] Lemont: I wouldnt go higher than say 80% on the PCM [02:09] hola :) [02:09] cotton: why? [02:09] BunTai: Hmmmm.. OK. One thing you might try, sometimes there's a button on the laptop that turns the wireless adapter on and off (my acer has it) [02:10] where do i set these tags jrib ? [02:10] BunTai: Once you have the hardware working, it;s a simple matter of clicking the netwiork manager icon, slecting the network you want, entering the right details, making sure save is checked and clicking OK [02:10] /etc/sudoers? [02:10] wait [02:10] Jakob_the_liar: sudo visudo will let you edit /etc/sudoers safely [02:10] i wanna print screen [02:10] BunTai: otherwise you probably need to go through the stuff in !wireless which generally isn't fun [02:10] cause I have to do it..i have my server running perfectly...but i cant put it online for the outside world...i cant pass the router...no matter if i forward the ports.....cant do it.....it wont go....so Im thinking to put the box directly to the internet, and use the box as the router...what do you guys think? is that posible? [02:11] what is gtk, gdm and metacity? [02:11] it doesnts say what rushmore is jrib [02:11] Zopiac1: ^^ [02:11] Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Indianapolis, Indiana and Columbus is the capital of Ohio There's Montgomery, Alabama south of Helena, Montana Then there's Denver, Colorado under Boise, Idaho Texas has Austin, then we go north To Massachusetts, Boston and Albany, New York Tallahassee, Florida and Washington D.C. Santa Fe, New Mexico and Nashville, Tennessee [02:11] uhhhh... lol you dont need multiple ports, or at least shouldnt... [02:11] mftom: GDM is the gnome display manager, it's what you see when you login and are using gnome (the desktop enviroment) [02:11] mftom use wikipedia for more information. [02:11] no..i tried to forward 80 to 80...no dice....80 to 81...nadda [02:12] hello all [02:12] it wont let me === elvin is now known as mwright [02:12] hmm wierd [02:12] i can acces the router from the outside world === mwright is now known as mdwright [02:12] but cant access the server within that LAN [02:12] so GDM is the login theme? [02:12] tell me about it [02:12] i almost cried last night [02:12] cotton: most routers have an option to expose the config page to the WAN [02:12] cotton: most use 8081 [02:12] i need to loudly proclaim that i am an idiot [02:12] i have a question about my system...since doing some of the automatic updates (that ended up not being able to finish) i am unable to boot my system...it comes up to the Ubuntu loading screen, takes a really long time, and then just brings up a screen that says (initramfs)...searching online i didn't find anything that was able to help with the issue...i'm kind of an ubuntu n00b...can anyone help? [02:13] i feel like a worthless piece of human garbage right now [02:13] cotton: you can't do a port forward on port 80 back the router itself, that doesnt make sense [02:13] and i need to proclaim it loudly in a very public medium [02:13] YEah, i was able to access the router Cpudan80 no problem at all, but i cant access the server within that LAN [02:13] does anyone have a bridge setup? [02:13] does this qualify as an appropriate and sufficiently public medium? [02:13] how do i see what groups im in? [02:13] cotton: within the LAN? [02:13] Jakob_the_liar: might be hostname [02:13] there is a wireless icon..but i cant click it like wired icon [02:13] Cpudan80: what do you mean man? [02:13] Jakob_the_liar: 'groups' [02:13] why [02:13] yea i think so jrib thanks [02:13] hurm [02:13] http://www.google.co.uk/chrome/?hl=en-GB [02:13] I have a router......and i have a server inside that LAN [02:13] this wireless make me dizzy [02:13] cotton: huh? [02:13] i want to access that server [02:14] zz [02:14] how do i add myself to sudo group jrib ? [02:14] i hang my USB-WIFI in a USB-HUB out the window, and need to go through my ubuntu box, to a PS3 [02:14] cotton: And you cant get at it from the LAN? [02:14] and will that present a security issue? [02:14] yes i can! [02:14] what is gtk exactly? [02:14] but not from outside world [02:14] Reinstalled windows, and grub left. Tried to go and manually reinstal grub, but I keep getting Error 22: No such partition. after I try to setup the root partition. LiveCD shows me all my partitions, but the installer doesn't for some reason [02:14] not http...nadda [02:14] cotton: OK - so you want to access it from the WAN [02:14] cotton: Most ISPs block port 80 [02:14] exactly...im sorry for my ignorance [02:14] i already downloaded bridge-utils [02:14] BunTai: there should only be one 'network' icon and if you have wireless it will list all the APs when you click it (the other option there will be 'wired network') [02:14] and my bad english [02:14] cotton: So, you have to access it like http://yourPublicWANIP:8080 [02:15] BunTai: and when you're connected it changes from two computers to a signal-bar [02:15] ok..when i try that...i get the Configuration thingy of the router [02:15] cotton: setup your router to forward WAN 8080 TCP --> (Server IP) port 80 TCP [02:15] anyone ever installed Guild Wars under Ubuntu? is it supposed to take this long? [02:15] i cant print screen [02:15] i want to show u all [02:15] cotton: right, because your router is exposing itself on 8080, use 8081 instead [02:15] cotton: Is it a linksys box? [02:15] there two..wired network n wireless network [02:15] Zopiac1, you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.cong and add in the Section "Device" that contains Driver "nvidia" this line Option "NoLogo" "true" [02:16] but i cant click wireless network..no function [02:16] Cpudan80: sorry, i didnt get that... I have a linksys router...and I can find the port thing in Gaming etc.. [02:16] compengi: i cant just change the image? [02:16] anyone knows why "xterm -font -fontname-" distort the terminal window? [02:16] what do i do? and to where? [02:16] hehe [02:16] sorry [02:16] buenas noches [02:16] BunTai: because the wireless adapter hasn't seen any access points so nothing to connect to? [02:16] compengi: and its .conf, not .cong ;) [02:16] Zopiac1, nope. it's integrated in the driver install [02:16] sup everyone [02:16] jrib, once i've edited sudoers do i need to reload something? [02:16] im still getting a password [02:16] Zopiac1, yeah.. typo [02:16] cotton: It's under apps & gaming -- port triggering [02:16] lol [02:16] Jakob_the_liar: not sure [02:16] Have to be root to perform a iopl()! [02:17] iopl? [02:17] is it port triggering or port forwarding? now im confused [02:17] BunTai: are you near an access point? [02:17] lol [02:17] did that dude with the twinview question ever make it back? [02:17] no...in my office has a wireless connection and lan connection too..both of it useable [02:17] Is anybody here using BitchX? [02:17] yup [02:17] near [02:17] i've got a problem with my nvidia video driver [02:17] anyone help? [02:17] I need to know how to split the screen in two so I can have 2 channels simultaneously [02:17] cotton: It's both [02:17] HA! I figured out how to join... Hello everyone. [02:18] help! ubuntu does not detect that my screen can use a bigger resolution than 800x600 !! [02:18] i read many article problem about my acer aspire 4520 wireless Atheros.. [02:18] :( [02:18] cotton: the trigger should be 8081 to 8081 foward 80 to 80 [02:18] BunTai: weird. your AP should show up then. Open a terminal and type 'iwconfig' and pastebin the result? [02:18] woli: Run on recovery mode...then use XFIX..it will show up on the screen... [02:18] cotton: the port range forward should be 80 --> server IP [02:18] Cpudan80: man, i didnt try that last night [02:18] if that works im going to love you [02:18] how do you hide the channel messages in xchat? [02:18] cotton: It it might be 8081 in the port range forward -- I cant remember [02:18] woli, that problem appears to be fairly common. try googling for "Ubuntu resolution [your gfx card name here]" [02:18] brightwebworks, well, i'm in normal mode... but in 800x600, can't i run xfix from here? [02:18] where to paste? [02:18] !pastebin [02:18] woli: never tried [02:18] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [02:18] here? [02:19] BunTai, in pastebin [02:19] will bridge-utils let me do a bridge where i go from wireless-to-wired? [02:19] ok [02:19] ive got a gtx 260 vid card. i install the driver and restart the gdm and everything is hunky dory until i restart. i get an error saying im runing in low graphics mode. [02:19] anyone able to help with why my system fails to boot and only shows (initramfs) on boot? I believe it has something to do with loading a fat partition i have windows running on, but am unableto troubleshoot this issue [02:19] Jakob_the_liar: mine "just worked". Can you paste the line you are using?

[02:27] I can't install the libdbus-1-dev package on Hardy. Why? [02:27] woli: There is a recovery mode for ubuntu, which you can access from the grub menu -- it basically gives you a root prompt [02:27] Devourer: pastebin what happens when you try [02:27] oh ok... [02:27] woli: pastebin your Xorg.0.log and the output of lspci -nn [02:27] thanks... [02:27] woli: I dont suggest messing around in there unless you know exactly what you need to do [02:28] woli: that root prompt won't help you get what you want tho [02:28] why didn't they just call recovery mode 'safe mode' and avoid confusing al the windows users? [02:28] Question, how do you connect to another Ubuntu machine on your network..? [02:28] zcat[1]: cause it is no "safe mode" [02:28] zcat[1]: they would still be confused [02:28] jrib, http://pastebin.ca/1192133 [02:28] Nuubuntu: we generally use tcp/ip [02:28] and have is come up with a vesa gui or something? [02:28] lol, Safemode that you can carry a hammer and a tissue into. [02:28] zcat[1]: it's more or less equivalent to the windows command prompt only boot mode, not at all like safe mode [02:28] zcat[1]: there is no gui [02:28] ok, no.. it's really not safe mode [02:29] Zopiac1, you could read here http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6420/ [02:29] wols, http://pastebin.com/m1d4cea59 [02:29] zcat[1]: ubuntu falls back to vesa automatically [02:29] zcat[1]: generally you only go in there when your display is messed up beyond repair [02:29] and you have to do some heroics to get it back [02:29] 'unsafe mode' [02:29] wols, apparently, my system does detect the video card [02:29] woli: I asked more than that [02:29] or when you forgot your password I guess [02:29] i want to restart..ill be back [02:29] wols, let me see.

[02:30] do you know where it's located..? Should just be sudo gedit "location" [02:30] Devourer: sudo apt-get update, try again. If it still fails, pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy libdbus-1-dev libdbus-1-3' and your /etc/apt/sources.list [02:30] woli: "also". engage your brain [02:30] strategy, the terminal way? [02:30] Zopiac1, could be because you used lower case? [02:30] jrib, alright. [02:31] wols, peace out dude, i just copy paste... [02:31] dont think so [02:31] woli: that's your problem [02:31] woli, probably "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.0.log" [02:31] ill double check...

[03:04] it just outputs garbage to the log file and causes my keyboard to mess up [03:04] hocmin: no [03:04] Jakob_the_liar: easiest way to do it, is just add new panels and set them up manually, thats what i done. [03:04] hocmin: you can have more panels over there - and you can add the same panel items (to make them mirror) -- but the one panel wont bridge 2 monitors [03:05] Doonz, pastebin the output of this please: sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md0 [03:05] chetnick: I don't know, without more info I can't be sure of anything.

[03:06] hocmin: If I remember right, gnome was working on this during this year's summer of code [03:06] Doonz, yes a drive has failed [03:07] hocmin: that doesn't help you much in ubuntu though [03:07] So if they don't mount is there a way I can access the contents without using the F-Spot [03:07] would that be drive #2? [03:07] where can i find the .deb files i installed ? [03:07] wildrussian: yes, just browse the mounted drive in nautilus [03:07] wildrussian: Try a "sudo lshw -C disk" Even if the camera isn't mounted, you should see a device which matches the camera's model.

[04:26] hehe Daisuke_Idoitsok :D I've been battling this weirdness for 2 days now hehe [04:26] cabrioleur: ?? [04:27] jmichelsen_: hm, dunno.. never tried that device, i've had good luck w/ the 242x [04:27] Luke, remove the version you have, and install the one up here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16766494/flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.1.218%2B10.0.0.569ubuntu1%7Eppa2_i386.deb [04:27] IndyGunFreak: the weird thing is, the system prompted for the proprietary drivers on first boot, says they are in use [04:27] Is there a way to have system menus look like emerald themes? [04:27] cabrioleur: thanks [04:27] IndyGunFreak: the HAL and the driver for the wireless support ya know [04:27] jmichelsen_: yeah.. same thing happens w/ 242x [04:28] IndyGunFreak: and with that you have to tinker to get it to work? [04:28] mvfeinstein, what's the system menu? [04:28] Anyone know of a NTFS partition manager that i can use? [04:28] whats a splash screen? [04:28] jmichelsen_: usually, i just disable HAL, and compile/install madwifi.. [04:28] EvolutionXtinct, gparted with ntfs-3g installed [04:28] IndyGunFreak: I see, ok I will try that [04:28] i'm going to try ntfs-3g now *sigh* [04:29] IndyGunFreak: it has no .deb? has to be compiled? [04:29] jmichelsen_: yes [04:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/42918/ <--- is that what should i see if my wireless enable?anyone plzz [04:29] cabrioleur the Application, Places, System menu... And the right click menu top and bottom bars in gnome stuff like that [04:29] jmichelsen_: it takes all of about 20sec to compile. [04:29] IndyGunFreak: meh Im new enough that I still dont like to compile [04:29] IndyGunFreak: I will give it a try [04:29] * jeth is pink bunny [04:29] BunTai, yes. Except, flip the wireless switch on your laptop to have some wireless results ;-) [04:29] cabrioleur: how did you find this? is there more information about this flashplugin-nonfree? [04:29] IndyGunFreak: thanks [04:29] jmichelsen_: type this w/o quotes.. i'll talk you through it real quick.. "/join #indygunfreak" [04:30] Luke, it was in one of Adobe announcements [04:30] cabrioleur: ah cool [04:30] <|freddy_|> hello, how do i go about port forwarding inside my ubuntu machine? my ISP blocks 80 port, i have no router, so i spose i have to forward something on the ubuntu machine, or is it something I have to change in httpd.conf to make it able to listen to another port? thanks in advance, and sorry for the ignorance. [04:30] whats a splash screen???? [04:30] how can i see any wireless connection? [04:30] cabriloleur : how can i see any wireless connection? [04:30] hey... does anyone know what would cause the following issue in installing ubuntu? http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdl2.png i want to install it to that harddrive since it has the most free space by far (150GB or so) [04:30] !firestarter [04:30] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [04:30] BunTai: click the network manager icon in the menu bar [04:31] BunTai: if stuff is working you'll see wireless Lans in the drop down [04:31] how do I find which package a file came from? dpkg something, right? [04:31] danbh_intrepid: -S [04:31] <|freddy_|> if it is the second option, the one that suggest me to change stuff in my httpd.conf....thing is...i have nothing in my httpd.conf...i dont know why [04:31] jrib: thanks! [04:31] is there anywhere I can download free ebooks on linux and ubuntu? [04:31] BunTai, you should have an icon in your gnome panel (the one with 2 computers or one if you are not connected). Click on it. [04:31] cabrioleur: do you have a link to the announcement? cant seem to find it on google [04:32] test [04:32] BunTai, or in terminal "sudo iwlist scan" [04:32] ok [04:32] hey, does anyone know why the installation partitioner wouldn't be able to determine the free space on a drive? [04:32] http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdl2.png [04:32] er, i have an imageshack screenshot, but i can't seem to paste it (stupid web irc client perhaps) [04:33] if any wireless connection enable...iwlist scan will list all the wireless connection..wasn't that right? [04:33] anyone have much luck looking into my sound issue [04:33] Luke, http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/08/10rc1.html [04:34] slipp3d: what soundcard issue is that? [04:34] is that wrong? [04:34] Kindofabuzz: Dude that kicks ass bro! [04:34] Xpistos, hit accept man [04:34] maybe this works: img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdl2.png [04:34] cabrioleur: cant be installed on 64 bit [04:34] yay... anyone know why that would happen? [04:34] can't skype or record sound [04:34] KovaaK, bed time for me.... that is odd.... try sudo fdisk -l might show it... and if you can mount it then df -h [04:35] I don't have an accept option. It is just sitting her [04:35] Luke, it can, but not natively. [04:35] i should mention that i just reinstalled windows on it less than a week ago, so it is pretty bare [04:35] I hit accept on the transfer but now pidgon is just starring at me [04:35] cabrioleur: the deb installer wont even allow me to install it [04:35] Luke, try the tarball they have [04:35] When i right click on a .rar file (wich is seprated in like 40 rar files) and chose the option *extract here*..... it opens a window and starts extracting....but seems to take ages....been having a 3.5gig extracting for the last 30minutes now.....anyone know why it isnt working??? [04:36] or doesnt seem to anyways [04:36] http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ [04:36] http://pastebin.com/m7810268a [04:36] slipp3d: can you play sound? [04:36] ya I can play fine [04:36] http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/3015/screenshot1jz7.png <-- ive install my atheros 64bit..and this is the result..right or wrong? [04:37] slipp3d: have you checked the permissions on the sound device? [04:37] BunTai, do you have any wireless spots where you live? [04:37] lostogre, where would I look for that [04:37] is there a way to have the xendomains init.d script shutdown the domains instead of doing a "save" on them? [04:37] this place has wireless connection [04:37] but i cant see anything [04:38] cabrioleur : if any wireless connection enable...iwlist scan will list all the wireless connection..wasn't that right? [04:38] slipp3d: ls -l /dev/snd? [04:38] BunTai, yesw [04:38] ok.. [04:38] <[tasty]freeze> my school is using a cisco wireless ap system that uses 802.1x authentication, the ssid that normal authenticated users is hidden, is there a way i can connect on my ubuntu laptop? [04:39] BunTai, make sure it's set to "roaming" [04:39] <[tasty]freeze> normal windows users download some kind of program that runs some setup stuff. [04:39] lostogre, http://pastebin.com/mcad4d58 [04:39] carbioleur : thats mean im still having problem with my atheros right?hurm.. [04:39] why does my display and vid card deconfigure everytime i add a line to the xorg.config ? [04:39] When i right click on a .rar file (wich is seprated in like 40 rar files) and chose the option *extract here*..... it opens a window and starts extracting....but seems to take ages....been having a 3.5gig extracting for the last 30minutes now.....anyone know why it isnt working???or doesnt seem too anyways.. [04:40] cabrioleur : when i connected using wired network..i cant see wireless network? [04:40] BunTai, you can. [04:40] owh [04:40] BunTai, as long as your wireless is on. [04:40] how to on it? [04:40] i dont know [04:40] CyberWolf, it's working, it just takes a REALLY LONG TIME. rar isnt the best format ever. [04:40] ohh [04:41] ok [04:41] slipp3d: it looks like from that paste, that you need to add yourself to the audio group. [04:41] thank you [04:41] i'll wait it out some more then [04:41] Hi - Trying to see if I can load Hardy Heron on a friends computer - It's the Live CD version. When it comes up almost to desktop it's asking for a username - it has never done this before on any computer I've always been able to start right up on the desktop to chec k and see if network card works, video, sound etc. any idea's ? ? ? [04:41] CyberWolf, i had a 100mb zip extract for more than 20 minutes.. [04:41] BunTai, yousually a switch in your laptop. [04:41] wow [04:41] lol [04:41] annie_g, the licecd wanrs a username? [04:42] strategy: yes asking for a ubuntu user name. [04:42] i click it..but there's no light..or bip [04:42] annie_g, weird [04:42] cabrioleur: i click it..but there's no light..or bip [04:42] yea tell me [04:42] does anyone know a way to get the installation to correctly see how much space is on my most recently partitioned&formatted harddrive? i'd like to repartition it and put ubuntu on it as well - img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdl2.png [04:42] Hi [04:42] annie_g: verify the integrity of the disk (from the first menu you see) [04:42] BunTai, it's rare that the light works with linux (but wireless almost allways do) [04:42] lostogre, where would i change that [04:42] BunTai, sudo iwlist scan again [04:42] owh [04:42] slipp3d: what distro are you using? [04:43] ubuntu [04:43] strategy: tried a NEW DVD/Burner combo drive - also unplugged cable an power to HDrive. [04:43] still got the same answer [04:43] annie_g, well i dont know, that's a really strange problem.. [04:44] jrib: never had any problems with it before - looks pristine - but will try that - thx [04:44] cabrioleur: found the ppa page for the file you gave me: https://launchpad.net/~psyke83/+archive [04:44] annie_g, it used to be username ubuntu and password ubuntu [04:44] cabrioleur: has the amd64 deb [04:44] Luke, cool. Sorry for inconvinience. [04:44] cabrioleur : http://paste.ubuntu.com/42925/ <-- thats the command i followed..wasnt that right? [04:44] cabrioleur: not at all! you set me on the path I needed [04:45] cabrioleur: thanks for your help [04:45] BunTai, yes [04:45] cabrioleur: will try the username p/w see if i can at least get to desktop - could be a problem with the ram as well - Ram can do allot strange things if bad as well. thx [04:45] ok [04:46] Is there a way to find all the files created or modified within the last x minutes? [04:46] BunTai, can you pastebin the output of "sudo lsmod" for me? [04:46] ok [04:46] wait [04:47] anyone for the partition issue? [04:47] lat: *all*? Or just ones in a particular directory? [04:47] Flannel, all. [04:47] lat, find ~ -mmin -10 (for 10 minutes) [04:47] carioleur : http://paste.ubuntu.com/42928/ <-- sudo lsmod [04:48] cabrioleur: username & p/w are a definite NO Go ! - umm guess I'll do a test on ram & cd media test as well. [04:48] is it possible to set up a wireless connection with my desktop? (i have ubuntu installed) [04:48] slipp3d: go to the Users and Groups applet. Sorry I can't guide you; I am using xubuntu. [04:48] what is the wireless card you'd recommend for doing so? [04:48] annie_g, ok [04:48] thx anyway [04:48] how do you spell vua la, that magic kinda word? [04:48] ross, yes [04:48] (I know, offtopic) [04:48] cabrioleur: how do I set it up? what should I get to do so? [04:49] cabrioleur: i don't know how to set it up in ubuntu [04:49] Voila? [04:49] cabrioleur, many thanks! [04:49] lostogre, do I need to add myself to the pulse, pulse-access, pulse-rt [04:49] cabrioleur : so?my lsmod problem? [04:50] i cant get power saving to work on my monitors [04:50] slipp3d: why would you need those? I am not familiar with them. [04:50] lostogre, I don't see anything else related to sound [04:50] cabrioleur: what do I buy? how do i set it up? [04:51] I put Option "DPMS" in my xorg.conf, but still no sleep [04:51] slipp3d: The audio devices are owned by the audio group [04:51] slipp3d: you shouldn't need anything else. [04:52] BunTai, yes [04:52] BunTai, execute "sudo rmmod ath_pci" [04:52] BunTai, then "sudo rmmod ndiswrapper" [04:52] slipp3d: there should be a "use audio devices" option. [04:53] cabrioleur: I cant install the flashplugin because it cant find libcurl.so.3. it exists in /usr/lib64 on my system [04:53] cabrioleur : sudo rmmod ath_pci <-- ? [04:53] ok [04:53] BunTai, when it's done, make sure ndiswrapper has the driver with "sudo ndiswrapper -l" [04:53] ok [04:53] wait [04:53] slipp3d: Sorry, there should be a "use audio devices option" in the user and groups applet. [04:53] Luke, try to cheat the system "sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.3 /usr/lib/ [04:54] cabrioleur: good idea [04:54] BunTai, yes [04:54] lostogre, nope [04:54] cabrioleur : http://paste.ubuntu.com/42929/ [04:54] cabrioleur: already exists =/ [04:54] see that [04:54] Does monitor power saving mode work for anyone else ??? [04:55] is it possible to set up a wireless connection with my desktop? (i have ubuntu installed) [04:55] im so sick of having to turn off my monitors on my own [04:55] BunTai, pastebin /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [04:55] ok [04:55] how to open it? === t33x is now known as tee [04:56] cabrioleur : i dont know how to open it [04:56] Luke, I have no other ide than to try flashplayer from tarball and install it in nspluginwrapper [04:56] BunTai: sudo kwrite /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [04:56] How can I locate a binarey file that i can tab to? [04:56] ha [04:56] forgot [04:56] thanx [04:57] oggu: tab to? [04:57] Luke, stupid me, it will have the same dependency issue. === tee is now known as t33x [04:57] cabrioleur: yup =/ [04:57] oggu, which "command" [04:58] hi all. I have installed VMWare server on my ubuntu machine, and it is listening on port 902 (checked with nmap). When I try to connect from another box, this one refuses the connection. Where do I start looking? [04:58] Flannel: sorry, if I write the first letters and prss tab i get it as an alternative which means that it most be in some bin directory [04:58] DCC SEND "lolwuthskklasbs" 0 0 0 [04:58] cabrioleur : http://paste.ubuntu.com/42930/ <--- this my blacklist [04:58] oggu: right. you want the path? "which blah" will give you the full path [04:58] thnx [04:59] Okay I think that i got it working for now... [04:59] BunTai, we found the fault. remove quotes ("") from the last line [04:59] slipp3d: Ok, you are going to have to edit the /etc/group file. run sudo gedit /etc/group from the command line. add you user id to the end of the line that says audio: make sure that you include a comma if there is another name there. you will then have to log out and log back in. [04:59] monitor power saving doesnt work. help. [04:59] cabrioleur : ok..thats all? [04:59] lostogre, I think that I have it working ... [05:00] BunTai, make sure the changes were made, and restart the computer. Should be o.k. now [05:00] ok [05:00] done [05:00] i will restart now [05:00] be right back [05:00] lostogre, slipp3d: don't manually edit the file, we have commands to do that for you. adduser user group [05:00] BunTai: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:00] lostogre, after I added myself to the pulse stuff and restarted the app it started working [05:03] its me again.... im installing Call of Duty 2 for the first time in ubuntu....im using WINE to install it, and now,the game itself is done installing,but now its asking me if i want to install directX 9.0c.....do i want to install that or does WINE take care of that???i click yes or no? [05:03] good night all === acidicbase_ is now known as acidicbase [05:04] CyberWolf- Im going to guess yes as i seriously doubt wine will traslate DX into OpenGL [05:05] Hello [05:05] CyberWolf: Try #winehq, they'll be able to help you more [05:05] ok so i install direct x [05:05] cabrioleur: how to check any wireless network available? [05:05] iwlist scan? [05:05] BunTai, iwlist wlan0 scan [05:05] ok [05:05] Is there a font package in the repository that anyone can recommend? [05:05] snowveil, ms fonts? [05:05] I'm looking to do a small amount of desktop publishing and would like a general variety of fonts to choose from [05:07] hey everyone, I back up hd. I want to wipe my hd. how do I do it? [05:07] I have MS fonts installed, but I'm looking for something with a wider selection if possible [05:07] I know its dd but what's after that [05:08] snowveil - i was able to find a bunch of free ttf fonts out there somewhere, but i had to download/install one at a time [05:09] any suggestions on a work flow to make flash like animations for display on a web page? [05:09] harushimo, just reformat to ext3 or whatever with parted [05:10] i'm just reformatting it [05:10] also, quick question [05:10] I haven't decided on the file scheme [05:11] is there a default keyboard shortcut to pull up a terminal window? [05:11] BunTai, yes, "sudo iwlist scan" [05:11] i was reading about shred vs dd. which is better [05:11] snowveil, no, but it's easy to make. [05:12] ok thankx [05:12] harushimo, I have a lot of trust for dd [05:12] I used dd once also [05:12] i used it a couple of years ago [05:12] harushimo: shred is nice [05:12] what is shred exactly [05:12] I don't understand the concept [05:12] shred - overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally delete it [05:13] how do i restart apache ?? in ubuntu 8.04 [05:13] harushimo: Overwrite all the data on the drive a few times, with different patterns, so nothing is recoverable [05:13] adityag: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [05:13] harushimo, it overwrites the segments multiple times, so it's (in theory) more secured. [05:13] harushimo: It works on both files, and filesystems, which is nice. [05:13] harushimo, dban's disk nuke is pretty slick. [05:13] actually, I downloaded that [05:13] dban [05:14] harushimo: actually, dban erases entire disks, not individual files [05:14] would it work for core 2 duo( I think falls under i686) right? [05:14] harushimo: shred does it on a per-file basis [05:14] Flannel, shred -n 1 /dev/hda1 (here goes the filesystem ;-) ) [05:14] Megaqwerty: shred can also do full disks [05:14] cabrioleur: I'd do /dev/hda, but yeah. [05:14] Flannel: oh, I wasn't aware of that. Cool. [05:15] i was reading shred can do the whole hard disk [05:15] Megaqwerty: wipe only does files (and its not installed by default, I have no idea why anyone would use wipe over shred) [05:15] Flannel: agreed. [05:15] how many times would typically do the shred process? is more than once preferred [05:16] harushimo: The default is 25, so its strongly recommended you don't use the default, especially on larger drives. [05:16] the hd is 160 gb [05:16] that would take a while :) [05:16] harushimo, in unix everything is a file. You can shred whatever is represented as a file. as far as I remember, after 37 it's safe (but long as 550 cord) [05:17] cabrioleur: I believe some sort of standard is 17. [05:17] how can i make it so that keyring doesn't ask for a password at login? i want to have it access stuff automatically. [05:17] I'm just gonna do a reinstall of ubuntu. I just want to what is preferred method to wipe a hd but which is safe and secure [05:17] Flannel, 37 is a standard in military ;-) [05:17] for the remote conection to computers, does the computer to which you are connecting show a notification or something? [05:19] woli, by default yes. You can change that in System>Preferences>Remote Desktop [05:19] ok [05:19] hm... [05:20] gtg [05:20] bye! [05:20] how do use the dban for linux? I have the iso. I just haven't burned it yet [05:20] harushimo, It will load as a liveCD.. It's pretty straight forward.. [05:21] harushimo: just make sure that when you run it you don't have any drives that you don't want wiped connected [05:21] Hello there [05:21] anyone know how i can use terminal to convert text to hex? [05:21] as in i want fee2 or something to appear as decimal [05:21] so i mean convert text in hex to decimal integers [05:21] all the hd are connected my 500 gb doesn't have anything on it at all [05:21] i'm okay [05:21] Do you guys know where can I get info on the next features of Ubuntu 8.10? [05:21] thanks for the tip [05:22] harushimo, It's going to take a while.. even a 3 pass wipe takes a good deal of time.. [05:22] how long about 48 hrs? [05:23] henriquelm, ubuntu.com? [05:23] or even longer for 160 gb? [05:23] joanki123: echo "texttoconvert" | xxd -c 256 -ps [05:23] can anyone tell me what cmd i would need to type in terminal to convert text in hex to its decimal representation please? [05:23] Megaqwerty, thanks [05:23] i just want rough estimate [05:23] its give me an idea [05:23] hey isn't there an easier way, Megaqwerty [05:23] ? [05:23] thats all [05:24] kindofabuzz: Still looking but I can't find it so easily [05:24] joanki123: Possibly, I'll take a look [05:24] harushimo, couple of hours. Depending on your computer [05:24] the computer is 6 mons old [05:24] joanki123: not using xxd [05:24] actually 8 mons [05:24] its pretty current [05:25] current 8.04 kernel and headers are mismatched. Solution? [05:25] If your just after a fresh install I'd think its a little overkill.. [05:25] joanki123: you could use a python script to do it [05:25] harushimo: wait, you're going to use this harddrive for your computer? [05:25] breaks vmware player and cisco vpn. [05:25] I have two Ubuntu machines networked and i can see the folder on the other machine however when i try to go into the folder it requestes a password and the password of either machine does not work . What could I be doing wrong? [05:25] yeah [05:25] Megaqwerty, there has to be a simple cmd line argument that does a quick onscreen conversion [05:25] harushimo: Why are you shredding or dding at all? [05:25] having trouble getting nvidia card to work, enabled hardware drivers and did a reconfig and now xserver wont start [05:26] xophere, Dump remove all the headers and reinstall them [05:26] joanki123: not that I know of, but as I said, you could have a python script make it easy, and then alias the script so all you'd have to type is "converthex" [05:26] ? [05:26] I have tried [05:26] but will do it again. [05:26] because of the fact, I'm having some problems with computer [05:26] xophere, purge them [05:26] specifically? [05:26] joanki123: would you like me to help you with that? [05:26] my computer has been sluggish. the last week or so [05:27] harushimo: zeroing your harddrive won't really help. But if you did want to, a single pass of zeros would suffice. [05:27] Gun_Smoke, could you try to remote connect to 196.40.10.249 ?

[05:27] !sound [05:27] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:27] I just need a single pass [05:27] Megaqwerty, that would be AWESOME [05:27] mulitiple passes would be useless since it is my computer [05:28] I would think a single pass of zeros shouldn't take more than a couple of hrs [05:28] harushimo: shred -n 0 -z -v /dev/whatever [05:28] thanks I will do that [05:28] btw, when i do this: "echo "fff" | xxd -c 256 -ps", Megaqwerty , the result is 6666660a [05:28] hy [05:28] shouldn't it be 111111111111? [05:29] in binary, that is [05:29] nm! [05:29] whatever the case, the result is wrong [05:29] joanki123: it's how you are interpreting hex [05:30] croppa: you probably need to do smbpasswd -a [05:31] xophere, yes. Then sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [05:31] Will try Thanks [05:31] ? [05:31] croppa: of course you want to do that on the server :) [05:32] :D [05:32] im gonna out mf's [05:32] thanks everyone. I'm out [05:32] later [05:32] bytx!! NM losser!!! [05:33] This is probably a stupid question, but where is the left/right speaker swap control? because I can't change my wiring due to physical PC layout. [05:33] sucrack, NM: please keep non-support topics out of this channel. [05:33] Thanks that did it. [05:33] excuseme.... [05:34] i apologize for that [05:34] xophere, np [05:35] Module: mod_access is an apache module, how do i enable it in 8.04? [05:35] aloha. [05:35] xophere, What probably happened is your forgot to update your kernel headers after you updated the kernel. [05:35] hey how do i get the 'mac codec' (for .MAC/.APE/.APL audio files) ? [05:36] !codecs | ndf_, probably it's here [05:36] ndf_, probably it's here: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:36] how to enable a apache module? Module: mod_access [05:36] hello everybody! I have a Dell Laptop and need to get a Firewire card, but I've no idea where it would go, and whether it would work well in Ubuntu. I need it to have a Texas Instruments chipset [05:36] in 8.04 [05:37] hi room [05:38] adityag: It's not available in apache versions after 2.1 [05:38] This is probably a stupid question, but where is the left/right speaker swap control? because I can't change my wiring due to physical PC layout. [05:38] Flannel: ok, [05:38] ok my friend's lappy is running ubuntu hardy... and it is showing him as only having 882 MB of ram... what's the deal with that and what kernel should i install to get the full amount? [05:39] keith-: How much RAM do you think he ought to have? [05:39] he has a gig [05:39] after installing some updates, when i boot i get the following error message "ALERT! /dev/sda5 does not exist", i can't type either. i have used the ubuntu cd and everything boots. i can mount the drive [05:39] i recall this being a problem with kernels a long time ago ... i386 ones i believe, but i've never had this problem running ubuntu and assumed it gone now [05:39] keith: maybe his graphics chip is using the other 128M [05:39] anything like f4l for hardy? [05:39] keith-: Does he have an integrated graphics card? [05:39] keith the video card has claimed 128 of it, the supposed 1GB [05:40] which is fine [05:40] i have a question... what port does ICMP use? [05:40] I don't use a port in particular. [05:41] Uplink: It doesn't use a port [05:41] except he doesn't have an integrated card [05:41] Cpudan80, cause it doesnt carry data right? [05:41] Uplink: It's a special flagset in the packet that it uses, it polls for open ports and fires off one of them [05:41] he has an ati mobile [05:42] Uplink: Are you trying to block/allow ICMP traffic in a firewall? [05:42] (Cpudan80): something like that [05:42] keith that is the integrated video card [05:42] Khisanth: That did not work for me [05:42] so what about "ping " what port does it use [05:42] It doesn't [05:42] ping is very weird program [05:43] It sets UID to root (for a very short period of time) -- runs up the port list, finds a hole - fires off the packet and awaits response [05:43] woulda been more convenient if ping had a port [05:43] oh well [05:43] if i am sharing internet over LAN is there any way i can see the bandwidth used by different user [05:43] It's not really TCP/UDP though, I guess that's why it gets no port [05:43] gday... [05:43] i see [05:43] thank you [05:43] anyone know why i would suddenly get ubuntu telling me it can't find my root when booting? no keyboard access either. [05:43] keith-: even without an integrated card, had the same thing happen here my bios has an option to remap the lost memory to a different range [05:44] can anyone help me with cron expression? i need a cron expression for "6th working day of the month" ....taking working day as monday to friday [05:44] Uplink: If it's an iptables firewall I think the syntax is -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT [05:44] Khisanth: what type of computer? [05:45] Uplink: If its a router or something, most have a checkbox "Respond to ICMP ping (maybe echo)" [05:45] keith-: A8R32-MVP Deluxe + X1800XT :) [05:45] This is probably a stupid question, but where is the left/right speaker swap control? because I can't change my wiring due to physical PC layout. [05:45] hmmmmm [05:45] Uplink: Im not 100% sure on the iptables syntax [05:46] Uplink: Its something along those lines though [05:46] (Cpudan80): i was just going over it... im not touching anything lol [05:46] NeoCicak: something that complicated isn't possible with cron. [05:46] Flannel: hmmm.. ok... thx ! :) [05:47] Uplink: but yeah - ping is a nasty little thing [05:47] Uplink: Even modules that do pings for perl/python/C.... are nasty (and require sudo [unless setuid]) [05:49] anybody has tried a VIA chipset firewire card with Ubuntu?? [05:49] (Cpudan80): omg why the sudo? to flagg? [05:50] Uplink: huh? [05:50] (Cpudan80): omg why the sudo on the ping? [05:50] Uplink: ping is a setuid binary [05:50] It actually runs as root [05:50] for a second or so [05:51] even if you dont give it root permissions [05:51] hmmm why is networking so complicated :| [05:51] Anyone know where the control is to swap left/right speaker channels? [05:52] Uplink: Ping is a special case [05:52] As is traceroute (tracert) [05:53] (Cpudan80): but u see.. if its so special no one can hack u through ping [05:53] Uplink: They'd have to hack you while you're running the ping process [05:53] (Cpudan80): but i thought it doesnt use data? [05:53] it pads it [05:53] Uplink: And even then, they'd have to craft the hacked packets in the weird ICMP format (which is pointless) [05:54] But as I said, ping is a special case [05:55] hmmm ty for the info Cpudan80 [05:55] If you want to learn networking - dont learn about ping [05:55] till the end [05:55] start with the 5 layer model and tcp -- then go to UDP and other fun things [05:57] how to allow only specific IPs to access my shared internet [05:58] my 2 cents although memory fails me is the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files [05:59] http://www.shouston.com/images/walrus_bucket.jpg [06:01] hey, how do i mount an sd card plugged into a built-in reader? [06:01] does anyone know when a linux version of chrome will be coming out? [06:01] exit [06:01] FAJALOU: no [06:01] FAJALOU: the faq page says its in the works [06:02] FAJALOU: Maybe it will work in wine? [06:02] I havent tried it to be honest [06:02] ekk, i don't want to do that to such a wonderful browser ;) [06:03] eek [06:03] anyone use fluxbox here? [06:03] xnevermore: Well, if it doesn't automatically mount when you insert the card, you might want to check fdisk to see if it's detected.

The bytes match exactly, and the type of files are vmware backups. Any ideas? [06:20] moosen: Yeah, basically, Ubuntu hates working with Intel video. In your case, I might consider disabling visual effects. Otherwise, try reading over the wiki entries about X and maybe intel video.

[06:28] is it enough?

[06:29] jigp, try it out :) [06:29] odd.

[06:32] sebastian: how VMs work is, the VM program has to allocate all the memory you want it to have from the beginning. meaning, if you have 1GB of real RAM, and you set aside 512MB for the VM, you'll only have 512MB left on your real system, even though the VM might not be using 512MB internally [06:32] K [06:32] D [06:32] E [06:32] KDE [06:32] sucrack: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:32] ok 1 vote for KDE [06:32] any idea why a dvd would stop playing right before the menu comes up on any dvd? [06:32] any one? [06:32] vote vote pls [06:32] hehehe [06:32] jigp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:32] sebastian: then of course you need RAM for gnome, browser, etc [06:32] jigp: That's getting off-topic. [06:33] ok [06:33] jigp: I vote neither. :P [06:33] hehe [06:33] cyphase: how mutch ram does ubuntu take if i only have vm on? [06:33] sucrack: can that rip streams by any chance? [06:33] jrib: can that rip streams by any chance? [06:33] G3N0: no idea [06:33] sebastian? friend of lexi smith? [06:33] !ot | jigp [06:33] no :P [06:33] jigp: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:33] jigp: Lkisten, one is really not better than another. Gnome is generally considered the environment for more epxerienced users. K is kind of intended to make the transition from Windows easier. [06:34] nop, amarok can't do that [06:34] sebastian: hmm.. ~256 probably [06:34] webkit is'nt available on the repo? [06:34] <_2> who knows usb stuff ? i want to access a digital camera via cli not a mass storage device btw. anyone ? [06:34] ahhh KDE is for noob? [06:34] then i can use about 700 for virtual? [06:34] bobertdos, i disagree completely with that. I think it's the other way around. [06:34] bobertdos, but i suspect we are offtopic [06:34] gnome is for more epxerienced users. [06:34] ? [06:34] cyphase: and that is more then vista because it requires 512 [06:34] sebastian: something like that.. do you have swap? [06:34] Ill vote! [06:35] ya [06:35] jigp, this conversation is offtopic [06:35] about 400-500 [06:35] little to mutch maby :P [06:35] I just got the whole linux thing and i was having problems with adobe flash drives because i need it see videos and i can't seem to get it [06:35] sebastian: although you didn't answer my first question.. what kind of games? [06:35] is there any channel to Kubuntu? [06:35] good morning everyone [06:35] Doonz, whoops [06:35] like world of warcraft and oblivion [06:35] Doonz, sorry i got sidetracked [06:35] webkit is'nt available on the repo? [06:35] Doonz, how is the raid going? [06:35] sucrack, #kubuntu [06:35] sebastian: you can't run 3D games in a VM [06:35] is there an ssh guru ?? [06:35] sucrack: if i get the kubuntu download for amarock will it still work with normal ubuntu? [06:36] unop : ok.. after sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, do i need to install xforce? [06:36] oh [06:36] sebastian: yea.. [06:36] !anyone | lawrence [06:36] sebastian: have you heard of Wine? [06:36] lawrence: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:36] ya im using it [06:36] im using cedega [06:36] I need help changing a file from root to user, in permissions [06:36] jigp, i dunno, what is xforce? [06:36] is there any virtual program that can ? [06:36] sebastian: and is it working with your games? [06:36] I think my sound card did not detected completely. Or the drivers are not the MAX Sound Card. Because on Windows Vista it plays more louder than on ubuntu. Anyone can help or say something to me? :P [06:36] jigp: I don't mean to get off-topic again, but you can see from unop and I disagreeing that it really is a question of personal preference. [06:36] sucrack: kubuntu and ubuntu use the same repositories [06:36] will a kubuntu distribution of software work with unbuntu 8? [06:36] myles7897, sudo chown $USER file [06:36] sebastian: not yet as far as i know [06:36] cyphase: only with world of warcraft [06:36] G3N0: kubuntu and ubuntu use the same repositories [06:37] jrib: thankyou thats what i thought [06:37] thanks okay is there a way to fix unable to resolve host nlawre in ssh [06:37] cyphase: but its bad fps on linux [06:37] sebastian: i see.. oblivion won't work? [06:37] unop : im not sure also..is it console xforce? im lost..please help... [06:37] nope [06:37] Does anyone know how to disable IPTABLES fully? [06:37] :D [06:37] bobertdos : it ok :) [06:37] thats my real question i swear [06:37] like said any master: "only after you try, you will kow!!!" [06:37] unop: replace user with name? [06:37] cyphase: and vista is the worst thing for a computer, and if i install xp my linux installation will probably be removed [06:37] <_2> EvolutionXtinct what do you mean ? build a kernel without iptables ? [06:37] jigp, i have no idea .. i have never used KDE and am not sure what xforce is [06:38] no just to disable it like you can in redhat. [06:38] unop : you in gnome? [06:38] sebastian: don't know what to tell you.. Wine has certainly gotten very good, but there are still things that don't work, or don't work well [06:38] i'm having issues w/ ports being blocked [06:38] cyphase: last time it was anyway [06:38] sebastian: you can dual-boot xp and linux [06:38] EvolutionXtinct: sudo iptables -F [06:38] myles7897, if you like, but you don't have to, if you don't $USER is automatically expanded to your username === snowrichard_ is now known as snowrichard [06:38] EvolutionXtinct: "yes" question answered, go away :) [06:38] and i already have a good hardware firewall [06:38] sebastian, same here. thats why I have a partition for ubuntu. [06:38] it's got no rules by default, so there's no need to disable it. [06:38] jigp, no, fluxbox [06:38] EvolutionXtinct: 'modprobe -r ip_tables' ?? [06:38] Rat409 thnx :D [06:38] hi [06:38] <_2> EvolutionXtinct you can't disable it. you can flush all rules though [06:38] cef: no. [06:38] EvolutionXtinct: there are no default rules anyway [06:39] cyphase: i have partitions to but last time i installed xp my linux partition dissapered [06:39] hmmm so it doesn't lock down ports automatically? [06:39] Daisuke_Ido: well, it'll remove all the modules too. *grin* [06:39] I think my sound card did not detected completely. Or the drivers are not the MAX Sound Card. Because on Windows Vista it plays more louder than on ubuntu. Anyone can help or say something to me? :P [06:39] <_2> EvolutionXtinct nope [06:39] this is 8.04 LTS [06:39] unop: it says chown: missing operand after 'file' [06:39] just FYI [06:39] sebastian: you have to be careful to tell XP not to wipe out Linus :) [06:39] EvolutionXtinct: there are no default rules, nothing is blocked [06:39] ok i try it [06:39] i use dual booting XP and Kubuntu [06:39] cool ok i'm just having a terrible time w/ my Vuze program and its not connecting to seeds :'( [06:39] <_2> EvolutionXtinct iptables -L lists all rules [06:39] yeah, because if XP wipes out Linus, it'll have to share a cell with Hans... [06:40] myles7897, replace $USER with your username .. and make sure you have the right and full filename there [06:40] to play some games and some autodesk soft [06:40] _2 [06:40] er _2 awesome [06:40] i was going to ask that actually :D [06:40] cyphase: thx for the help, cya :) [06:40] I think my sound card did not detected completely. Or the drivers are not the MAX Sound Card. Because on Windows Vista it plays more louder than on ubuntu. Anyone can help or say something to me? :P [06:40] first you have to install XP then install linux [06:41] sebastian: if you need any help, you can pm me, or just ping me in here [06:41] EvolutionXtinct: it doesn't lock down ports, but they're not even visible to the outside by default unless there's a service specifically using them [06:41] sucrack: not true [06:41] weird i put in accceptions earlier and its not showing up now...

[06:42] <_2> EvolutionXtinct did you do the iptables -F that flushes all rules. [06:42] why not, XP install your own MBR over grub, isn't it? [06:42] sucrack: doesn't mean you can't just install grub [06:42] !grub | sucrack [06:42] sucrack: 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 [06:42] sucrack: first link theregets GRUB back [06:42] that first link is a quick howto for recovering :) [06:43] Flannel: just gotta be faster eh? :) [06:43] _2 no i didn't do that command yet [06:43] EvolutionXtinct: are you behind a router? has it got ports forwarded, or does your program use UPnP to talk to the router at all?

Found out why would not go to desktop all the way - onboard video was too wimpy - installed a Nvidia 256MB PCI Express and came up to desktop beautifully ! missed that one almost. Had forgot to check video until last. [06:47] Neseth, anything more ? [06:47] _2: wouldn't it just be somewhere under /dev?

[06:48] raw actually no, but is that a notebook ? sometimes notebooks don't active all the speakers with linux, than u think sound is louder in windows [06:48] Good Night All [06:48] _2: does it get automatically mounted? I'm not totally sure, but if you look at the mountings, it can link back to the /dev.... I think [06:48] i have a trouble with virtuals consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F[1,2,..,6]) wich only a black screen when i try to reach any of them...any idea about this? [06:49] <_2> danbh_intrepid it's not mass storage. [06:49] i need help!!!!!! [06:49] <_2> danbh_intrepid if it were i would mount it as an scsi device. [06:49] Neseth, yes is a laptop notebook.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:51] what do u need aycher? [06:51] _2: my only guess is to try /dev/usb, and see if its listed there [06:52] this is for ubuntu support, if u needs talk to someone, call 911 [06:52] :S [06:52] <_2> danbh_intrepid ls: /dev/usb: No such file or directory [06:52] hmmm [06:52] sucrack: Eh?

[06:55] hello [06:55] sucrack, I have the same problem === asdasda is now known as kraypius [06:55] now i'm getting no port to work on my box for some reason [06:55] backing up to a local usb disk,,, thanks fo the link [06:55] exit [06:55] <_2> sucrack not sense i stopped using usplash [06:56] l [06:56] i upgrade to 8.04.1 but it's the same... not better [06:57] i've got an external hard drive here formated as fat32. every time i plug it in I get "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume." (using hardy) Any ideas? [06:58] <_2> what mount options do you have specified ? [06:58] _2, i havent touched a thing, its a new install. normally it just automounts for me [06:58] sucrack, mine have also never worked. Only thing I can trace it down too is that resolution in incompatible with my video card.. Are you by chance using a DVI connection? [06:59] * _2 rolls eyes at automount crap. [06:59] im trying to download rose online... and then the bit torrent application which is a default in ubuntu is hard to manage [06:59] ChrisULM: If there's an entry in fstab for the drive, it could be a slightly screwed up entry. [06:59] ok go that done restarted humm still lost on cube stuff could you post that link again plz :0) [06:59] bobertdos, I will check my fstab [07:00] cabrioleur : im still cant scan wireless network [07:00] :( [07:00] nop [07:00] <_2> ChrisULM try something like sudo mount -o umask=000 /dev/sda1 /mnt you can substitute sda1 with the actual device node. sdb1 maybe... sudo fdisk -l should list it. [07:01] testing 1212 [07:01] _2, lol, well i see its set to mount as cdrom0..... that cant be right [07:01] there's a serious lag [07:01] sucrack, I can't remember if mine worked when I switched to VGA or not. I know it fixed my boot screen from being unreadable. but I like DVI better [07:01] <_2> ChrisULM mountpoint is not important. other options are. [07:01] some people says that maybe is due to propietary driver for my videocard... [07:01] hello, my /home says that i use 9.2gb but when i use the df -h command in the terminal it says that i used 37gb out of the 43gb and only 3.7gb is free [07:02] sucrack, what video card do you have? [07:02] <_2> ChrisULM things like fs type for instance. iso9660,udf would make it fail [07:02] what can i do? because im running out of space [07:02] sad [07:03] and i prior to this i tried deleting my trash via gksu nautilus and there was about 20gb in it [07:03] Dragonlaw: what does 'du -sh /home' and 'du -sh ~' show? [07:03] im not sure if that was completely deleted === kuckurucc is now known as adac [07:03] <_2> Dragonlaw empty trash ? [07:03] ya i did [07:03] du -sh /home 9.3G [07:04] Dragonlaw: And the 43G is total for /? or what? [07:04] NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Go === co_goodboyfriend is now known as cce_cediihh [07:04] du 0sh ~ shows 9.3G /home/justin [07:04] same as du -sh /home === cce_cediihh is now known as cce_cedihhhh [07:05] Dragonlaw: and you have /home on a separate mounted partition? [07:05] no its on the same partition, i dual partitioned it [07:05] _2, got it working, ended up changing the cdrom0 mount option in fstab [07:05] Dragonlaw: so, /home does not show in 'df -h'? [07:05] Hi, as I have to just perform some tests is there a way to setup Ubuntu with minimal mail services? Is there a guide or few steps I should perform? [07:05] sucrack: mines a 7150m i had to use envy restricted driver failed hereon a dv6636nr [07:06] when i do df -h i get /dev/sda5 [07:06] no /home does not show when i do df -h [07:07] Dragonlaw: what is /dev/sda5 mounted to? [07:07] Dragonlaw, can you show the output of "mount" [07:07] the ext3? [07:07] how may i know what's my video driver, actually installed? [07:07] Dragonlaw: no, what directory? run 'mount' to find out [07:07] /dev/sda5 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [07:07] devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) [07:07] devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) [07:07] lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw) [07:07] securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) [07:07] Dragonlaw: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:07] gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/justin/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=justin) [07:08] Dragonlaw: ok. so there you go [07:08] oops [07:08] sucrack: What video card are you using? [07:08] Dragonlaw: /dev/sda5 is taking up the disk space which is mounted on /. / includes not only /home, but /usr, /var, /etc, etc [07:09] oh ok [07:09] but i deleted 20gb of videos and there's no change in the disk usage [07:09] Dragonlaw: so, that's why /home is showing 9.3G and / 37G, or whatever [07:10] Dragonlaw: define 'deleted' [07:10] hi, i have a small problem. when trying to rebuild the kernel, while in the process, i encounter this problem: http://pastebin.com/d6c6ebf65 [07:10] deleted from the trash? [07:10] as a result i can't boot because the sata driver won't load [07:10] Dragonlaw: dunno. hard to say. if you deleted it *to* the trash, then that would explain it. if you deleted it *from* the trash, dunno [07:10] eightyeight: hmm is there anyway to get back more space [07:11] Dragonlaw: Are you positive the trash is empty? [07:11] Dragonlaw: sure. you need to see what you have installed and what is taking up the most disk space [07:11] eightyeight: or is there anyway to check where the space went [07:11] there was a realtime term prog that monitored processes, memoy, etc... anyone recall the name? [07:12] negativefps, how did you rebuild your kernel? [07:12] Dragonlaw do u remember the name of any video u deleted ? so u could try locating it, if they still in some folder [07:12] cyix: top [07:12] Dragonlaw: directory by directory. it's up to you to investigate your hard disk, looking for what's filling it up [07:12] Dragonlaw: Well, Ubuntu does have that disk usage analyzer......... [07:12] unop> do you remember my problem yesterday? [07:12] yes! ty! [07:12] niuq: well im using arch, but the userbase is really small, i always have a tough time getting support from them [07:12] Kartagis, i think i do yes [07:12] niuq: im following this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Compilation_From_Source [07:12] eightyeight: cos when i checked my filesystem on diskusage it reflects that i have only 12.3gb on ./ [07:13] unop> well it still exists [07:13] Dragonlaw: avail or total? [07:13] unop> i thought it went away [07:13] total [07:13] negativefps, well for me rebuilding is not compiling [07:13] Kartagis, I would just reinstall mysql [07:13] what s the output of "df -h" [07:13] negativefps: If you don't mind taking the non-Ubuntu support somewhere else. Even #ubuntu-offtopic is fine. [07:13] niuq: ok wrong terminilogy [07:14] Dragonlaw: you just told me a bit ago that you were using 37GB out of 43GB and only 3.7GB is free [07:14] unop> i already did that twice [07:14] sucrack, i'm using a nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2) === nostferka is now known as nostferka^ [07:14] yea but my total filesystem reflected in diskusage only reflects 12. [07:15] *12.3 [07:15] Kartagis, did your email from cron contain any extra information this time? [07:15] negativefps, well since it's a new kernel, it has new "numbers", and your modules are located inside a directory with a different name [07:15] unop> yes, let me paste them [07:16] Dragonlaw: "Total filesystem capacity" says 12GB? [07:16] unop> http://paste.ubuntu.com/42955/ [07:16] negativefps, maybe you can try verifying a match of the location of your modules and the kernel's version [07:17] niuq: hmm, well i'm doing this all from the directory i untarred the original kernel to [07:17] total filesystem capacity says 85.4gb (used 73.8gb available 11.6gb) [07:17] Kartagis, can i see your /etc/logrotate.d/mysql file too please? [07:17] negativefps, and you are sure, that your kernel is pointing to the correct directory? [07:18] niuq: i dont see a reason why it wouldn't. im following the guide step by step and not doing anything with the old kernel [07:18] negativefps, well that's all i can suggest now, if that doesn't help you, you may ask to another guy, sorry [07:18] negativefps, were are your modules located? [07:19] negativefps, where* [07:19] I have a mysql-server but not mysql there unop [07:19] i really don't know. just typing commands in the order i see them :P [07:19] Kartagis, ahh, that's what i mean then [07:19] Dragonlaw: so, i think you're answering your own questions... [07:19] What's the difference between a Quad core Xeon at 2.4 GHz and a Quad core Core2 at 2.4 GHz? [07:20] ok thanks [07:20] mmm [07:20] unop> http://pastebin.com/f42cedf17 [07:20] im still alittle confused because there's only 9gb being used in home and i don't think there is that much space being taken up [07:20] negativefps, maybe that's the problem you don't really understand that guide, i suggest you find what the commands are you typing are suppose to do [07:21] inkynoob, you might want to ask that over in ##hardware [07:21] ok [07:21] im not sure how to clear up the space because i dunno what is taking up the space [07:21] negativefps, btw sorry for my english hehe, just learning xD [07:21] Dragonlaw: dig down in /home then, running different du -sh commands until you find the disk hog directory [07:21] Dragonlaw : Have you tried baobab? It'll show you where the space is being used at graphically [07:22] Dragonlaw: baobab is cool, but a bit to get the hang of. not intuitive, if you ask me [07:23] doing hard drive cloning just booted into ubuntu what to do [07:23] tehboriz: you want to clone an ubuntu hard drive on other machines? [07:23] no an xp [07:23] it's all perfectly set up [07:23] just clone it [07:23] to be used on 10 different machines [07:23] tehboriz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:39] tehboriz: add sudo in front of the command [07:39] tehboriz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:39] !enter > tehboriz [07:39] tehboriz, please see my private message [07:39] tehboriz: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb [07:39] mich54: you can say no to that prompt, it just wants to add the CD as a repository, for the situation where you have no network access to install packages from [07:39] okay i did that [07:40] it's just blinking [07:40] looking at me evily [07:40] tehboriz:do not use dd for that [07:40] tehboriz: yeah. it's going to take a while [07:40] it's 4gb of info [07:40] tehboriz: after the drive is cloned, how do you plan on getting it on the machines in the other location? [07:40] will it tell me anything when it's complete [07:40] tehboriz: yeah. it will [07:40] tehboriz: it's gonna copy the whole drive, even the empty part [07:40] eightyeight: i'm gonna give the hard drive to the owner [07:40] and he's gonna put it in [07:40] tehboriz: Tip: "sudo !!" runs the previous command with sudo in the front :) [07:41] sparr , first of all i have a network access , and second , all i can do is press esc which makes it give me an error msg that the whole step has failed [07:41] sorry i'm too used to msn and i press enter alot [07:42] does anybody know how to bring up the openbox menu with a keyboard shortcut . ? [07:42] either how long do you think it'll take [07:42] tehboriz: how big is the drive (not the data) [07:42] 250gb [07:42] tehboriz: a few hours [07:42] no way [07:42] are you serious [07:42] WHY [07:43] tehboriz: yeah. what do you expect? [07:43] it's faster for me to install xp 10 times [07:43] cause the command you used is very non optimal [07:43] tehboriz: it's copying every single byte, even the empty space [07:43] i don't believe this [07:43] tehboriz: So, copying is better [07:43] why does it have to copy the empty space!!! >.< [07:43] Is there any way to make it so there is no password required to access my samba shares? for some reason when someone tries to access shares on my computer it requests a username and password... [07:43] can i abort [07:43] tehboriz:that's one thing why i said do not use dd for that [07:43] tehboriz: that's cloning [07:43] tehboriz: because you just told it to [07:43] tehboriz: you wanted the drive cloned. [07:43] oh damn [07:43] mich54: the step failing shouldnt be a problem. i havent used that installer in a while, but you should be able to manually select a different 'next' step if you dont want to do that one [07:44] i want it so if i put in a drive like this in the same machine it starts up no probs [07:44] tehboriz: then leave it be, and come back to it in the morning [07:44] geirha: are you saying copy and paste everything from one to the other [07:44] i have a feeling that won't work [07:44] tehboriz: norton ghost, clonezilla, udpcast, all the rest would take *just* *as* *long* [07:44] hi [07:45] ghost took 3 minutes i'm not joking [07:45] it just didn't work [07:45] dosen't say welcome [07:45] just says f*ck off with the nice small logo on a blue login screen [07:45] tehboriz: then it didn't do anything. what are these drives? sata drives? then you're moving at a pace of about 32MB/sec [07:45] !list [07:45] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:45] tehboriz: yes, you partition the destination drive the same way as the source, create the same type of filesystem, mount them both, then use «cp -a» [07:45] oh no i'm lost [07:45] sparr , ok , let's say i'll setup these things later , so i chose the step that installs grub and i also get an error msg "the 'grub' package failed to install into /target/." [07:45] i'm trying to build the cisco vpn client for school and it's complaining about the cflags being changed in the Makefile [07:45] eightyeight: what makes you think of 32MB/s? [07:46] wols_: experience [07:46] it suggests fixing it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS [07:46] any ideas? [07:46] geirha: are you saying just type in cp -a and it'll do everything? [07:46] eightyeight: then experience something else than 10 years ago [07:46] mich54: ok, im lost then. sorry. [07:46] mich54: why cant you give it the CD? [07:47] tehboriz: you'll also need to edit the fstab on the destination though ... [07:47] tehboriz: no. he's saying create the same partition layout as sda on sdb. format with the same filesystems. then 'cp -a' [07:47] sparr , what CD ? :D [07:47] I just did an upgrade today that screwed up my gnome session; I can't left-click on stuff in the menu bar (quick launch icons, etc) how can I find what I recently upgraded so I can revert? [07:47] sparr , isn't it the one i'm installin the server from :D [07:47] software sounds better [07:47] tehboriz: how much data is on sda? [07:47] hi, people! [07:47] about 4gb [07:47] i have fresh xp install [07:48] drivers took me a while to find [07:48] thats why i gotta clone [07:48] tehboriz: then let it run for a couple hours, and hit ctrl-c if you want. that should be sufficient [07:48] sparr , i'm mean it's already in the cd-rom [07:48] or whatever it means when you ahve 2 hard drives with the same info [07:48] couple of hours is something i don't have! [07:48] it's 3am and i've got school tomorrow [07:49] im gonna abort before i go insane [07:49] Ontolog: open synaptic file>history [07:49] tehboriz: go to sleep, it'll work while you snooze. [07:49] tehboriz: i don't know what you want then. you're dealing with spinning platters and writing bits. it's going to take time. 'cp -a' or 'dd' [07:49] yeah but that's just ONE drive [07:49] tehboriz: You have more than one? [07:49] tehboriz: it's going to take hours either way [07:49] okay how about this [07:49] i'll wake up tomorrow [07:49] and come here [07:49] tehboriz:just use ghost, will take you a few minutes [07:50] GHOST FAILS ON SO MANY LEVELS sorry for my caps [07:50] that was my first choice [07:50] tehboriz: use find and cpio [07:50] like i said [07:50] find is a windows search tool [07:50] No? Well, maybe, but not in this case. [07:50] Flannel: he's already started the dd command. i say let it run, and cancel it in the morning. he'll be past his 4GB then, and should be fine === t33x is now known as tee [07:51] tehboriz, find on unix is a very different tool .. find on windows is the equivalent of grep [07:51] How can I install an older version of a .deb file? [07:51] oh no i heard of this grep stuff before [07:51] you're saying cancel it in the morning with ctrl c [07:51] tehboriz:try hiren's boot cd, there many cloning tools on it. [07:51] tehboriz: i'm curious why you're doing this at 3 in the am === tee is now known as t33x [07:51] tehboriz: yes [07:51] eightyeight: i've been up since 7pm trying to get this to work [07:52] ghost failed [07:52] acronis cept crashing [07:52] and ubcd sucked cause half the progs didnt let me use sata [07:52] or needed me to buy it [07:52] and the folks at #windows were very confusing [07:52] and wanted to watch me suffer [07:53] “could not open/initialize audio device->no sound” [07:53] how can i take ti? [07:54] i'm gonna go to sleep [07:54] tehboriz: well, go to bed. when you get up, ^c the command (if it's still running), and you should be fine. [07:54] when i play mp3,ogg,rmvb“could not open/initialize audio device->no sound” [07:54] okay that sounds good [07:54] and i'll come back to you [07:54] thanks so much for the help eightyeight [07:54] tehboriz: np [07:55] cuil: Can you try the test in System -> Preferences -> Sound ? [07:55] and eveyrone else who trying to slow me down! good night! === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:57] tehboriz:than i think there is something wrong with you hd consistentie, dd will have the same problem. [07:57] tehboriz:try to scan your hd for errors first. [07:59] is there any way to roll back a recently installed upgrade? [07:59] this sucks, an upgrade hosed my system [07:59] Ontolog: What did you upgrade? [08:00] Ontolog: upgrade the os? or a software package? [08:00] a software package [08:00] i think its libtiff [08:01] Ontolog: you can use dpkg to remove it and use dpkg to install an older .deb by hand. [08:01] Ontolog: Which package? [08:01] does ubuntu have a VGA Font installed by default for console? [08:02] Ontolog: sound odd that libtiff would "hose" your system. How exactly is it "hosed"? [08:03] how do i install the google chrome on my pc? [08:03] i hear it is fast [08:03] hirak99: it's not avail for linux yet [08:03] hirak99: It's not working on Linux yet [08:03] haha [08:03] install windows vista [08:03] oh that's a shame [08:04] dam google chrome ram eater [08:04] hirak99: And according to #winehq it will probably be working natively on Linux before it will work in wine [08:04] it's opensource, someone will port it if it is good [08:04] Jordan_U: really? interesting. :) [08:04] hirak99: Google already plans to [08:05] ABout CHrome, you CAN download the full source code and compile it for linux yourself [08:05] dude [08:05] Rakeer: It just doesn't run :) [08:05] hi [08:05] Rakeer: you can, it just doesn't do anything [08:05] RIght ;) [08:05] Kal, what are you doing here? go home! [08:06] Ontolog: If you know the package name that you want downgraded please pastebin the output from "apt-cache policy " [08:06] that was my brother. [08:06] is there a way to open all the ports in ubuntu? iptables -F is not working, in fact i removed the firewall from the system and i still get All 1714 scanned ports on localhost are close from nmap localhost [08:06] why would you want to open all your ports? [08:06] cause im making some test [08:06] ^^, rather unsecure [08:07] i understand that [08:07] but i have to open them [08:07] all of them [08:07] how do we use wine? [08:07] sigh [08:07] i wish the ps3 had more ram [08:08] cotton: There is a difference between a port being blocked and just nobody listening :) [08:08] cotton: then install some service, say opnessh-server [08:08] im lazy. [08:08] whats the latest kernel? [08:09] thats the main issue [08:09] openssh server IS installed [08:10] Hello, for some reasons the icons on my desktop are the exact folders in my home folder, and if i move/rename/modify the folders in any way, it effects the folder in my home directory. How do i change it so my folders only show up in one place? [08:10] cotton - does it connect when you telnet to port 22? [08:10] cotton: Is it running?

[08:11] 2.6.19 latest kernel? [08:11] cotton: if the service is running, then it's listening on a port, and nstat and nmap both would show it [08:11] Does anyone know how to use xvidcap? [08:11] zynergi: no === xxx is now known as Guest42726 [08:11] not sure, but there is newer..im using 2.6.24 myself...

[08:14] cotton: looks like 2222 is open and listening on all interfaces [08:14] however, it is on a playstation 3, so I [08:14] am forced to take every step w/ a grain of salt [08:14] ghaleb_: a) use sudo b) stop all other apt using programs [08:14] eightyeight: nmap tells me everything is closed [08:14] cotton - on a standard port 22 config it should look like: [08:14] this is driving me nuts [08:15] cotton: what is the nmap command you are running? nmap only scans the priv ports (up to 1024) [08:15] nmap localhost [08:15] cotton: there you go [08:15] cotton: nmap is useless for that. [08:15] cotton - tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 9970/sshd [08:16] i configured ssh to listen to port 443. curiously enough, now the first attempt to ssh from a remote comp always fails, second one succeeds [08:16] cotton: nmap -p 1-2223 localhost [08:16] I had kde3 installed, then I installed kde4.

[08:16] no [08:17] but it takes a headache from me [08:17] lol [08:17] cotton: you should learn netstat [08:17] the headache the nmap on localhost is dumb to run? [08:17] how can i use wine? [08:17] marfan: wine [08:17] cotton - can you telnet 127.0.0.1 2222? [08:17] I would like to be able to assign shortcuts to all my workspaces.

[08:21] hmm tomato firm i'll look that up [08:21] cotton: are there any other hosts in your LAN behind your router except the ubuntu box? [08:21] yes wols_ [08:21] all windows boxes [08:21] EvolutionXtinct: Look at the compatibility list for your model, if its not there you can use dd-wrt [08:21] EvolutionXtinct: Yes try tomata, I use it myself very easy to use and powerful.. [08:21] EvolutionXtinct: if you want to make your ubuntu a router: ipamsq and dnsmasq is what you want. if you don't want to make it a NAT router you don't need a firewall [08:22] *ipmasq [08:22] EvolutionXtinct: Yeah, tomato is pretty much flash and go...as long as your router supports it...dd-wrt is more advanced.. [08:22] Rakeer: the same ip block? can you explain that a little bit please? [08:22] if you cannot use tomato or dd-wrt, learn some iptables and craft your own rules [08:22] google has released the source to their V8 javascript engine [08:22] sfreak: worst choice [08:22] awwwwww [08:22] do i have to assign a static ip from the router to the server?

[08:23] cotton: you don't have to but it helps. but this is not a ubuntu problem [08:23] seeyas, thanks for the help [08:23] ok thanks a lot. [08:23] that helped me a lot [08:23] gonna try with static [08:23] is that like truvio? the maker? [08:24] Gnome won't mount usb sticks for me through nautilus, it gives me the error "Unable to mount location" "Can't mount file", and due to this it also doesn't auto mount.

[08:37] it works much better with my older laptop is there a way that i can uninstall unbuntu without losing xubuntu [08:38] OmgItsAShark: apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop might help [08:38] in fact what i want to do is to install xp after instaling linux :) on 2 different partitions + i need one partition for xp(ntfs) and another small one as fat32 for shareing :) [08:38] would i run that in terminal while in ubuntu or xubuntu [08:38] OmgItsAShark: look here this is what i did: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [08:40] thanks you very much you guys are always more than hekpful [08:40] i would run that in the xubuntu terminal correct [08:40] Hi [08:40] How can I run XP inside Ubuntu? [08:40] tom_, VMware etc [08:40] Question, I'm trying to find a program in a GNOME enviroment to help with school assignments, like a log. Any suggestions? [08:40] OmgItsAShark: yes. make sure you pay attention to the packages that are removed. if you have added some stuff since the "bare bones" install, you might lose them as other packages are removed [08:40] Thanks [08:41] i havent added anything ubuntu came with everything i needed [08:41] as long as xubuntu has firefox pidgin and openoffice or similar i am happy as a clam [08:41] How can I check which updates I just installed? Does apt keep a log of what it installs? [08:41] OmgItsAShark: You're switching to xubuntu from ubuntu? That what you're trying to do? [08:42] no switch from ubuntu to xubuntu [08:42] !purexfce | OmgItsAShark [08:42] OmgItsAShark: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [08:42] OmgItsAShark: check that page out, it'll give you a command to remove all the ubuntu stuff [08:42] !xubuntu [08:42] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [08:42] thanks man [08:42] really thanks [08:42] tom_: I'd say VirtualBox over VMWare [08:43] Oli``, really why? [08:43] you find it to be faster? [08:43] what's the place to get crappy business cards for cheap, _after_ shipping? vistaprint.com is giving me free business cards, but wants to charge me $10.00 for shipping [08:43] nnull: marginally faster in some places and a whole lot freer [08:43] faires muff. [08:44] Just curious, does anyone know why Ubuntu 7.0? works out of the box with internet via cablemodem to ethernet card, yet slackware 12.0, Fedora 9, and opensuse all bomb it? [08:44] how do i turn off this desktop type find feature. i can't type in a password for a game because of it [08:44] It's weird... [08:45] What free and/or open source photo manager that runs on linux has the best integration with flickr? I need to sort, resize, tag, and upload about 10k photos. Good tagging functionality (hinting, autocomplete, cloud, etc) is imperative. [08:45] nnull: VMWare certainly has its place but for average use, most of shinies that VMWare offers are wasted [08:45] shentino: Different ways of detecting hardware and using the correct drivers I would guess [08:45] Is it possible for me to access hardware information about my hardware temperature sensors that are in my laptop. [08:45] sparr: certainly give fspot look [08:46] how do i know when xubuntu is done installing via terminal === rulebreaker is now known as Sound_of_Subtron [08:46] nnull: If you're looking into hypervisors, Xen has just worked without a hitch for me [08:46] I was just running my system under it a few minutes ago === rulebreaker is now known as Sound_of_Subtron [08:46] !sensors | nano_ [08:46] nano_: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [08:46] cool [08:46] how do i know when xubuntu is done installing via terminal [08:46] geirha: thnx [08:46] OmgItsAShark: if you ran the command from the terminal, once you get your prompt back then it is done [08:47] how do i turn off this desktop type find feature. i can't type in a password for a game because of it. [08:47] ok brb lets see how this works [08:47] kindofabuzz: Remove trackerd if you dont need it [08:47] OmgItsAShark: you will have to log out and log back in ...make sure you look at the "Sessions" available from the login manager and choose XFCE [08:47] OmgItsAShark, make sure to use aptitude!!! [08:47] magnetron: No need to use aptitude [08:48] hateball, is it trackerd, could've sworn i've already removed that [08:48] Just wondering. I'd like to return to slackware/fedora eventually, I was just wondering what Ubuntu was doing right that I needed to fix in the other two. === Sound_of_Subtron is now known as Subtronic_Sound [08:48] geirha: what is meant by the ACPI temperature of TZS0 or TZS1...are these the temperatures of the 2 dual core processors? [08:48] kindofabuzz: sounds like the problem is that the game isn't grabbing keyboard focus [08:48] OmgItsAShark, if you use apt-get instead of aptitude, you'll have a remove all xubuntu parts individually [08:48] kindofabuzz: and tracker-gnome, or something like that. Sounds like it anyhow [08:48] magnetron: what about apt-get autoremove? [08:48] geirha, yeah it's not for some reason [08:49] shentino, you'll be surprised how few that will remove [08:49] nano_: I don't really know, sorry. Try google perhaps? [08:49] kindofabuzz: is it wine? [08:50] geirha i have and thanks dude [08:50] geirha, yeah GW under wine [08:50] any easy way to "remove everything that nothing I want depends on"? [08:50] that also plays nicely whenever I change my mind about wanting something? [08:51] hrmm i just restarted my lappy and it loaded right into ubutuntu how do i set it up so i will load into xubuntu [08:51] im having truoble with my wireless i got the card installed with ndiscwapper but it still does not show up [08:51] http://pastebin.com/m7914b059 [08:51] kindofabuzz: If you run winecfg and set a virtual desktop, it should get the keyboard focus, but then you can't play it in fullscreen :/ === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 [08:51] geirha, i'll just remove tracker, i never use it anyways [08:52] who can help me? [08:52] who can? [08:52] Is any download manager for ubuntu like internet download manager? [08:52] anyone? [08:52] cuil: Depends, what's your problem? [08:52] BunTai: there are download managers [08:52] wait, tracker ain't it, still there, it's the box you get when you have no windows open, just the desktop and you start typing [08:52] shentino,i cannot play mp3 [08:52] kindofabuzz: hehe, me neither, though I suspect it's not tracker, but rather nautilus that gets the keyboard focus [08:53] MikeSeth : whats the name [08:53] cuil: Partial success? Error messages? [08:53] geirha, so is that nautilus doing the little search box? [08:54] i dont know how to use kget [08:54] wget [08:54] kindofabuzz: Yes. [08:54] If you need an mp3 player, you probably need the gstreamer codecs. Check your package manager [08:54] geirha, know how to disable it by any chance? [08:54] Any better of a guess and you'll need to tell me how you're trying to play them [08:54] kindofabuzz: I doubt disabling it will make it work any better ... [08:55] geirha, it will alow me to type in my password! =) [08:56] kindofabuzz: No, because you are getting that search box because gw isn't grabbing the focus [08:56] how do i use sudo ??? [08:56] sudo [08:56] geirha, right, but if i disable it i won't have to worry about it [08:57] and what is the command in sudo that i will be administrator ??? [08:57] failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [08:57] shentino; failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [08:57] sudo is to run a command as admin [08:57] kindofabuzz: well, if it's possible to disable it, you should find it under /apps/nautilus/ in «gconf-editor» [08:57] my mozilla firefox crashed i am using bugzilla to report this crash but I couldnt find mozilla firefox as an application in bugzilla(gnome) [08:57] how can i change my keyboard layout in ubuntu? [08:57] plz help me [08:57] my pidgin also have no sound now. [08:57] geirha, yeah looking there now [08:57] kindofabuzz: aha, and how i can log in as admin ??? [08:58] shentino, are you here now?? [08:58] jigp, in the terminal type "su" [08:58] jing-jang, no need to, just sudo a command [08:58] su won't work. [08:58] ciuil: any errors? [08:58] why won't su work Flannel ? [08:58] marko-_-: because the root account is locked. [08:58] sudo sh? [08:58] how do you know he hasn't unlocked it ? [08:59] !noroot [08:59] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [08:59] is there another channal for wireless help? [08:59] marko-_-: the recommended configuration is not to set a root password. This channel assumes you haven't set a root password, and discourages you from setting a root password. [08:59] lol [08:59] marko-_-: su ? [08:59] i have a question about WINE and .exe files. i ahve downloaded SecondLife in the past, but now, on a reinstallation .exe files are giving me trouble, will anyone help me there? [08:59] marko-_-: su ? for what dude? [08:59] jigp: nothing you can't use sudo for. [09:00] Flannel, but let's say someone was on your computer and he would know your password... he could unlock the rooc account ? [09:00] Orchid`, i believe there is a linux script to install SL, no need for the .exe's [09:00] Orchid`, google second life ubuntu [09:00] kindofabuzz: errr, alright then, where do i get it? and how? [09:00] Oli``: heh, my kubuntu is slowly being invaded by gnome apps... its cool that they are finally catchng up [09:00] ok. [09:00] Orchid`, search [09:00] marko-_-: Why would he know your password? [09:00] root* [09:00] hmmm qtparted doesnt allow me to resize the partition :) [09:00] Hi, I am trying to use VNC to view my desktop on a remote machine. (And I am trying to get it running from the other machine.) Could someone help me with that? Because I find the community docs to be complex [09:00] kindofabuzz: btw, try "Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse leaving their window" in winecfg [09:01] geirha, k thanks [09:01] Flannel, because he would [09:01] balachmar: you need x11vnc, or something similar [09:01] marko-_-: Why would you let anyone else know your password? [09:01] then he could unlock it, set a password and control my computer [09:01] jing-jang: qtparted is not a good as gparted (you should be able to resize a partition if you unmount it first and then double click on it tho) .... if you keep having big troubles maybe consider gparted [09:01] can i have yum on ubuntu?? [09:01] marko-_-: He could already control your computer with just your password. [09:02] geirha, i think i found my problem, i had allow wm to control the window unchecked [09:02] ushimitsudoki1: oki doki will try gparted :) [09:02] Flannel, ah, ok [09:02] run arguments with yum, such as yum install === ShadowXP is now known as Guest31048 [09:02] BunTai: I dont know, sorry, I don't use these things [09:02] kindofabuzz: Ah, that also sounds like a possible fix, indeed [09:02] morningwalker: We use apt instead. apt-get install [blah] [09:02] BunTai: search the package manager [09:02] morningwalker: you could alias "yum" to apt-get [09:03] the mplayer show: could not open/intiallize audio device [09:03] geirha, yeah that was it =) [09:03] sparr: On which machine? both? [09:03] sparr: I am trying to use the Remote Desktop Viewer [09:03] need help to recovery data on XP using Ubuntu is this possible [09:04] cuil: try this. [09:04] ushimitsudoki1: thanks a lot gparted look better but still doesnt want me to unmount the partition and its advising me to do it manualy :D [09:04] Plug your ears, and on a console, cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [09:04] but Flannel why then don't have a root account ? you could just unlock it and then leave it alone [09:04] jing-jang: you aren't trying to work on your active partition right? [09:05] ushimitsudoki1: unfortunately i am :) [09:05] holy smokes!!! [09:05] jing-jang: that is not possible [09:05] i switched my layout to dvorak but the # key isnt in the right place, cant even find it, that and i can get ubuntu to switch without a fight [09:05] balachmar: You've enabled remote desktop on the destination computer? system -> preferences -> remote desktop [09:05] Why can I not check boxes for some updates in Update Manager? [09:05] hello every one [09:05] marko-_-: Here's a better question, what benefit do you think you gain from having your root account unlocked? [09:05] cuil: sounds like you're missing codecs. Search for "gstreamer" with synaptic [09:05] jing-jang: you will need a live cd and then repartition the target partition. you need to be VERY CAREFUL or you will lose data - if you care about that [09:05] Blaise: because there are conflicts === gaurav_ is now known as Guest27941 [09:06] can i have the way that i can view my linux data in windows i mean to say can i view the partation of linux in win xp ? [09:06] Oli``: How can I resolve these conflicts? [09:06] Blaise: they usually resolve themselves with time - so don't worry [09:06] Oli``: The problem I have is with VirtualBox, I have an old version and the new one has features I require [09:06] Blaise: they're usually waiting on somebody to build and publish a dependant package version. You could use the PUEL version on the sun website [09:07] ushimitsudoki1: aha :) ok thanks a lot :) not taking care about the data now, got everything backed up on desktop :) will try to run live cd now :) hopefully i will sort something out :) see ya :) [09:07] im having truoble with my wireless i got the card installed with ndiscwapper but it still does not show up [09:07] bye everybody, thanks for help :) === Guest27941 is now known as vibhor [09:07] Hi all [09:07] fdisking a mounted drive... [09:07] Oli``: I want to use this install though, but it's not updating [09:07] can i have the way that i can view my linux data in windows i mean to say can i view the partation of linux in win xp ? [09:08] Which package, Blaise [09:08] hi, I just installed ubuntu and I previously had an old machine running netscape mail. What's the recommended email application to use in ubuntu ? I see Evolution seems to be the default, but I was thinking about Thunderbird [09:08] Flannel, nothing, i know. but why is there even an option for an root account ? [09:08] mutt? [09:08] nah [09:08] Al virtualbox-ose* packages [09:08] vibhor: You need to install the ext2fs driver in windows so that you can see your linux partition, give me minute while I find a link for you [09:08] Oli``: virtualbox-ose* packages [09:09] marko-_-: the root account itself is used heavily in *nix systems. But there's really no reason (when you're using sudo) to log in as root, which is why we disable it. [09:09] !ext3 | vibhor [09:09] vibhor: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [09:09] aconrad: if you only use one machine and one DE, then use the mail app that comes with that DE (in Ubuntu, then, that is Evolution). If you move around more, then you might want something more "cross platform" like Thunderbird [09:09] Flannel, aha, ok. [09:09] aconrad: that is my thinking on the matter anyway [09:09] Blaise: Try the non-open version from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads - It's a .deb download so it's just a double-click to install. You might need to scrub the -ose version first though. [09:10] vibhor: see the link ubottu/geirha just sent you, that was what i was looking for [09:10] Oli``: I think this may have the answer [09:10] apparrently getdeb.com is down or something, for it wont respond to my browser, which is where a few articles say to get the SL viewer, errr any other ideas? [09:10] and yes i did attempt the terminal run through but i kept fialing [09:10] ushimitsudoki1, I feel thunderbird will suite better how I'm used to netscape mail [09:10] i need recommandation for two email client software. what is good beside thunderbird? [09:11] geirha: I don't think so, but is there a way to do that in the command line? [09:11] I got one line I want to use in a script that shall run on startup (synclient touchpadoff=2), is it enough to use "exec synclient touchpadoff=2" in a .sh-script? [09:13] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [09:13] balachmar: if you connect with ssh -X and run vino-preferences, you should be able to enable it [09:13] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [09:13] Hey all, I was having issues using my iPod in any audio application... and I finally found out that Apple changed their databases around... Banshee fixed it. [09:14] But I have an issue. All of my .flac files aren't being converted over to mp3 or m4a... what gives? How can I make Banshee autoconvert? [09:15] kimmey: should work [09:15] hello everyone , i have a issues about play avi mp3 rmvb... [09:15] yo yo yo [09:15] im having truoble with my wireless i got the card installed with ndiscwapper but it still does not show up [09:15] cuil, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:15] Oli``: If I install a deb file will it update through the update manager? [09:16] http://pastebin.com/m7914b059 [09:16] @geirha: If I define only to allow local connections, that will improve security without having an effect if I want to use ssh port forwarding right? [09:16] Oli``: yes. [09:16] nate_: have you done sudo modprobe ndiswraper [09:16] hi , how can i get open Terminal option when i right click on desktop ; i am using ubuntu 8.04 hardy [09:16] Blaise: only if you have it in a repository [09:16] what does it do? [09:16] geirha: ok, thanks.. going to check more [09:16] nate_: it loads the ndiswrapper kernel module [09:16] ActionParsnip what does it do? [09:17] nate_: you can configure your wireless till you die but if you dont load it then it wont do anything [09:17] ActionParsnip modules not found === neeto is now known as TheFeech [09:17] nate_: then its not set up right [09:17] did u see the paste been [09:17] !ndiswrapper | nate_ [09:17] nate_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:18] nate_: no [09:18] Circus-Killer; my pidgin also have no soud [09:18] does anyone know how i can find the correct modeline for my Samsung Syncmaster 172x external display?

ActionParsnip [09:20] have you added the extra line to modules?

[09:22] ubuntu_n00b: did you try http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl ? [09:23] Actionparsnip: do you know how i can find the correct modeline for my Samsung Syncmaster 172x external display? I tried cvt -v 1280 1024 60.0 on an Asus eeepc and the monitor seems quite unstable running there on Ubuntu 8.04 at the native resolution [09:23] ubuntu_n00b: how do you mean "unstable" [09:23] Actionparsnip: at the native resolution of my Samsung external monitor, it starts blinking after a while (30 minutes) [09:24] try a lower refresh or lower res [09:24] just to test [09:24] Actionparsnip: I don't know how to lower my refresh rate... [09:24] Actionparsnip: I think it still works fine at a lower resolution (i am using 800x600 right now) [09:24] the 60.0 is the refresh rate [09:25] Actionparsnip: I tried using 50.0, using cvt -v 1080 1024 50.0 to give me the modeline [09:25] Actionparsnip: but it won't start for me :( [09:25] Actionparsnip: X fails to run at 50.0hz at 1280 x 1024 [09:25] ubuntu_n00b: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=25431 [09:26] or /j #eeepc [09:27] Actionparsnip: Thanks for pointing me to another eeepc related forum.

[10:30] amanulla: so what does your xorg.conf look like now? [10:30] Hello [10:30] I've downloaded vmplayer to my desktop, where's the best place to unpack it to? [10:30] !hi | Linharex [10:30] Linharex: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [10:30] holyguyver: after installing libgtk2.0-dev (you got the -dev, right?), try to run ./configure again [10:30] Guest31571: what have you downloaded? [10:30] hello there [10:31] ActionParsnip: VMware-player-2.0.5-109488.i386.tar.gz [10:31] I'm using Ubuntu with windows installation, how can I move it into separate partition? [10:31] ActionParsnip:i cant find this "Configured Display Adapter" [10:31] have I to reinstall it? [10:31] jakobsine, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/42996/ [10:31] Guest31571: ok so its source, i'd extract to home so you can compile [10:31] I do not want to lose any data [10:32] amanulla: Configured Video Device" [10:32] amanulla: under that line add those 2 lines [10:32] it doesn't need to be compiled (or not by me anyway), it's got it's own installation script in the archive [10:32] ok [10:32] is it normal that my ubuntu installation requires me to reboot after the creation of a group? I mean: io create a group. I add a user to that group and then I associate a folder to that group. That user won't access that folder until reboot. Isn't it strange? [10:33] home will be fine, cheers [10:33] why when i use su [my user] i cant gksudo stuff it gives me an error and warning on gtk... is this normal? [10:33] Guest31571: it really doesnt matter where [10:33] just a quick question.. just about to set up a new ubuntu on an older comp.. what's the boot-flag option about?

[10:34] holyguyver: So it complains about libart-2.0, then you need a package with 'libart' and '-dev' in its name... and so on, until it works ;-) [10:34] htchien: was that for me & amanulla [10:34] anyone able to use the pastebin applet for gnome-panel? it says it cant publish to : paste.ubuntu.com [10:34] ActionParsnip for video setup [10:35] can someone take over i gotta split for a while [10:35] peace out kids [10:36] niiix: The user isn't a member of that group until he logs in again. You don't need to reboot, just log in again [10:36] is it normal that my ubuntu installation requires me to reboot after the creation of a group? I mean: i create a group. I add a user to that group and then I associate a folder to that group. That user won't access that folder until reboot. Isn't it strange? [10:36] ActionParsnip:see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/42999/ [10:36] is im correct? [10:36] thanks Flannel! [10:36] i need to work as root su is not accepting, what is the other way to do it?

[10:37] jakobsine, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/43000/ [10:38] i need to work as root su is not accepting, what is the other way to do it? [10:38] hello [10:38] Pirate_Hunter, sudo? [10:38] Pirate_Hunter: sudo is the way to go. [10:38] Pirate_Hunter: su won't work, you don't have root unlocked. use sudo (sudo -i will open a root shell if you can't live without one) [10:38] Pirate_Hunter, you could also try this : sudo -k xterm [10:40] holyguyver: "XMU library not found", it says... This translates to packagename libxmu-dev [10:40] Flannel, airtonix: thanx it is that im using an unprividge account at the moment and swapping to my account is a waste of time, i need to figure out how to gain my sudo privilidge inside this account [10:40] Pirate_Hunter, haha priveldge escalation much? [10:40] hi [10:40] Pirate_Hunter: ctrl-alt-f1 [10:40] Pirate_Hunter: ctrl-alt-f7 will get you back [10:41] anybody [10:41] around [10:41] What is the command to type to find out the folder sizes?

[10:42] command to find the size of a FOLDER IS du -sh [10:42] Pirate_Hunter, not that i am aware of [10:42] Pirate_Hunter, i could be wrong though [10:43] airtonix, Flannel: nice it worked [10:43] jakobsine, when I do that then it gives me a warning about lib.jpg [10:43] libjpg [10:46] jakobsine, why is it this hard to install gimp on Linux? :p [10:47] irc://us.quakenet.org/armake21-show [10:47] > i saw my own peronal e-mail: it's arrived a message that communicate to me: Free Software Foundation.Inc and GNU Software "25 years happy birthday" http://gnu.org [10:47] Not in scope: `org' [10:47] Have anyone tried to setup seamless windowsXP in ubuntu ? [10:47] jakobsine, holyguyver only reason you need to compile gimp on ubuntu is if the default gimp that is already there by default doesnt provide features you require [10:48] airtonix you are a very smart man ;) [10:48] jakobsine, holyguyver having said that , have you looked at gimpad? [10:49] airtonix, I am trying to compile gimpshop [10:49] 怎麼不是DOT? [10:49] Hi anyone got a min to discuss a problem I have with root account? [10:49] airtonix, I have never heard of gimpad, what is it? [10:49] jakobsine, holyguyver have a look at the site for gimpad..gimpshop is merely a re-arrangment of menu items afaik [10:50] !anyone | Charles_F [10:50] Charles_F: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? === Initial_1 is now known as Initial_M [10:50] jakobsine, holyguyver : http://www.gimphoto.com/ [10:50] Ok thanks for the advice. noobie on this. [10:50] How do I add permissions to a folder to allow a certain user full access? [10:50] !permissions > Theaxiom [10:50] Theaxiom, please see my private message [10:51] Theaxiom: Probably use acl's [10:51] !permissions [10:51] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [10:51] ah [10:51] I cannot get sudo to work it complains that the /etc/sudoers file is corrupted. tried to start in Recovery mode to get a root login and that is now asking for the root password.... which I don't know. [10:52] Charles_F: try ctrl-D [10:52] I did and it dropped me back at the menu screen [10:52] Charles: Boot from the install CD, use rescue mode? [10:52] Charles_F: init=/bin/sh as kernel parameter and you will be root and no password asked [10:53] If i re-install from CD will I lose all my settings? [10:53] No, [10:53] RESCUE [10:53] not install [10:53] jakobsine, holyguyver : although be aware that gimphoto still has a far way to go before it works properly...althoug h the concept it presents should set quiet those addicted to created 4chan photoframes in photoshop [10:53] airtonix:im on the way can you pls solve my problem? [10:53] Charles_F: you can use a liveCD to fix your sudoers file [10:53] meh, what flannel said. Same diff :) [10:53] amanulla, can you describe your problem to me from the start? [10:54] ok [10:54] airtonix, I am having trouble understanding how I am supposed to put the isntallation files together. [10:54] My Kbd is a I downloaded the iso from the site but i am not sure it is the LIVECD Is it? [10:54] jakobsine, holyguyver : you & me both...lol [10:54] Sorry typo [10:54] jakobsine, holyguyver : what stage are you at.. [10:54] Charles_F: then do what I told you if you don't have a ubuntu CD [10:54] Then why are you advertising it if you cannot even install it? [10:55] Charles: you need to BOOT from the livecd/install cd [10:55] I am at the stage of reading all of the info before I do anything. [10:55] jakobsine, holyguyver : have you downloaded the linux version? there is about 7 portions you have to re-combine first [10:55] that's right thing [10:55] Where can i download the Live CD [10:55] holyguyver: airtonix has a point, if you wanna install gimp, just `sudo apt-get install gimp`, that's a lot easier... [10:56] Charles_F: you already have it when you installed ubuntu [10:56] Is it possible to play streaming realaudio in rhytmbox? [10:56] airtonix:im unable to see advanced desktop effects what to do? [10:56] I did have it but then upgraded online to next version [10:56] jakobsine, you silly silly man, you should know gimp comes preinstalled on Ubuntu [10:56] the only thing i like about photoshop over gimp is its mdi interface..i think fireworks puts one up on both gimp and pthoshop in this regard since when you first start it you can change between mdi and sdi mode [10:56] Charles_F: releases.ubuntu.com you want the "desktop" cd [10:56] Charles_F: the old CD will work fine [10:57] If I still had the old CD LOL [10:57] airtonix: oh no, I'm not gonna compile gimp :-) [10:57] airtonix:i need to configure my graphics card [10:57] Been very lax here I realise apologies for being an airhead [10:57] jakobsine, & airtonix All I want is a gimp that is within one window. [10:57] amanulla: what videocard? [10:57] holyguyver: so, a newer version that the one already installed? [10:58] amanulla, ok let me see if i got his right: you try to enable it via the system -> preferences -> appearance gui, and choose one of the two bottom options in the visual effects tab...the result your getting is it telling you 'cant enable 3d effects" or similar? [10:58] holyguyver, me too. i think this is gimpad intended purpose [10:59] airtonix, but why did they have to split it into so many pieces, why not just make one /deb out of it? [10:59] PC (Intel x86) desktop CD This one? [10:59] Sounds about right... [10:59] Charles_F: yes [10:59] Ok Chers all [11:00] Cheers all! LOL [11:00] <_moro_bana_> is there a probleme with the installer on 8.04.i was using a dvd which i took from linux format and after installaton it keeps asking the password and never goes to next step.help [11:00] Not Cher ;-) [11:00] #ubuntu-fr [11:00] holyguyver, he split because he has issues with his internet connection [11:00] holyguyver, http://www.gimphoto.com/2008/08/gimphoto-143-for-linux-released.html [11:00] airtonix, then he needs better friends :p [11:00] _moro_bana_: no error message and nothing? [11:01] my card is:Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controlle [11:01] ok can someone lead me by the hand with my problem? [11:01] holyguyver: Actually I don't get what you're trying to acheive... The pastebin looks as you're building gimp-2.2.8, but the version in ubuntu currently is 2.4.something ?? [11:01] my card is:Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [11:01] !ask > nate_ [11:01] nate_, please see my private message [11:01] holyguyver, yeah apart from that i think the holdback is the windows version is getting primary focus [11:01] amanulla: glxinfo |grep direct [11:01] Other prob is I havea usb kbd which is not working at boot menu [11:01] !ask > shentino [11:01] shentino, please see my private message [11:01] how i can get the model of my motherboard? [11:01] <_moro_bana_> Ampelbein: nothing, it just keeps coming back to ask the password, installed for the second time but still... [11:01] (in ubuntu) [11:01] I guess i will have to find an old one to use [11:01] Charles_F: BIOS problem [11:02] wols_:glxinfo |grep direct what to do with this? [11:02] amanulla: type it! [11:02] airtonix, I don't know why the windows one would, all my friends either run Linux or Mac. [11:02] wols, i have the windows XP and ubuntu OS, if i want, should i safely delete the ubuntu, need i amend the MBR? [11:03] _moro_bana_: and you are sure you entered the correct password and username? this must match the values you gave during the installation. [11:03] aaron: yes you will need to rewrite your MBR [11:03] wols_:in terminal? [11:03] wols, how to do that? [11:03] aaron: ##windows [11:03] jakobsine, I already explained I am trying to achieve a gimp that runs in one window. [11:03] wols: I guess BIOS prob but not sure what to do with it [11:04] <_moro_bana_> Ampelbein: yes im am sure because if i enter wrong pass, it would let me know of that. [11:04] biella_: configure your BIOS correctly. this is OT here [11:04] wols, so i type ##windows in the terminal, right? [11:04] holyguyver: And that you get from getting an older version? [11:04] aaron: no. you join the ##windows IRC channel [11:04] jakobsine, that older version is gimpshop, not gimp [11:04] holyguyver, well im not sure and its only my theory...but somewhere on his site he mentions that he lives in a place with alot of piracy mainly of windows & windows based software [11:04] aaron: we do not support windows here. you have a windows problem [11:05] ok, i see it [11:05] holyguyver, so i was thinking he wanted to take care of that issue first [11:05] <_moro_bana_> Ampelbein: i ll try installing 7.10 and upgrade from the cd maybe. is ubuntu available on dvd except for ubuntu ultimate? [11:05] _moro_bana_: try logging in at terminal (strg-alt-f1), does that work? [11:05] holyguyver: ok now I get it :-s [11:05] ActionParsnip:im waiting for you? [11:05] airtonix, I, my friend Thomas Stewart, Thomas Minkler, & Jake run Linux, My friend Alecia & my girlfriend Hannah, & my ex fiancee Corrine run Mac :) [11:05] where are you? [11:06] how i can get the model of my motherboard? (in ubuntu) [11:06] holyguyver: Well if they haven't release a .deb file, building yourself is the way to go. [11:06] :) [11:06] ActionParsnip:im on the way pls help me [11:06] wols: any idea how to get the KBD to work on startup? [11:07] If it is a BIOS patch then i will just live with it LOL [11:07] wols, i have two hard disk, SATA type and ATA type; i install windows in the SATA one and ubuntu in the ATA one; when i cut off power of SATA hard disk, i can't log in ubuntu which installed in the ATA hard disk; [11:07] jakobsine, they have released a deb file, but when I installed it, it didn't do anything. [11:07] I have an old KBD that does work [11:07] holyguyver, in the end i got it downloaded and installed...but i dont think i could find the mdi mode.. [11:07] <_moro_bana_> Ampelbein: it will require me to reboot, i have duaboot. but whats strg? what is supposed to happen when i do that before i reboot? [11:08] wols, it noticed that lost of GRUB [11:08] holyguyver, but have you considered other methods of enforcing a mdi mode on gimp? like xnest [11:08] <[Ex0r]> anyone know how to save my default network settings? (Every time i restart my computer i have to unlock network connections, resetup my wap stuff, and wait for changes) [11:08] airtonix, yes I have [11:08] I try to compile c code like that: gcc -Wl,--export-dynamic -Wall -O1 -shared -fPIC testplugin.c testgtk.c -o testplugin.so -export-dynamic `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` unfortunately I get this error: /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccKaIm5U.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `error_dialog' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value.

[11:08] _moro_bana_: woops, sorry. meant ctrl-alt-f1. damn german layout ;-) [11:09] aaron: more info needed [11:09] holyguyver, there might be another way [11:09] <[Ex0r]> anyone know ?

[11:09] [Ex0r]: man interfaces [11:09] airtonix, nope, never even heard of it [11:10] my c compiler is not working!!!! [11:10] it forces any application to dock into the gnome-panel [11:10] irc://us.quakenet.org/armake21-show [11:10] holyguyver, so, i was thinking ther is another app called g-inspector [11:10] cypher: don't spam. you did this the 2nd time already [11:10] trying to run vobcopy, i'm getting "[Info] Path to dvd: /dev/scd0 // [Error] Path thingy didn't work '/dev/scd0' // [Error] Try something like -i /cdrom, /dvd or /mnt/dvd" My dvd is mounted from /dev/scd0 onto /media/cdrom0 . If i try vobcopy -i /media/cdrom0 , though, I get the same exact error. any ideas? [11:11] airtonix, I don't want them to be grouped together.

Photoshop is good, though. Krita is another option... I haven't really tried it myself though. [11:19] <[Ex0r]> i also need to find out how to disable my on-board sound and use my pci-sound, so that the volume in linux works correctly. [11:20] Badboy_: install build-essential [11:20] jakobsine, I have tried krita, but krita & photoshop cannot do what I need them to do. [11:20] EXT4: no. but I certainly wasn't rude to him. and I am not psychic. all [Ex0r] says "it doesn't work". no one can troubleshoot that over IRC. if you can you're welcome [11:20] elkbuntu: ^^ [11:21] [Ex0r], thats not the 'blunt to the point of rudness' i was referring to though. if i were a newbie i'd be waiting until him stopped responding before asking for fear of having 'not enough info given' barked at me in a bot-like manner. [11:21] airtonix:i can enable extra effects [11:21] in visual effects [11:21] <[Ex0r]> elkbuntu- ah, I see. Yeah, I did explain what the problem was 2 or three times too. [11:21] tab [11:21] [Ex0r], that doesnt excuse rudeness. [11:22] <[Ex0r]> elkbuntu- no i know. [11:22] elkbuntu: so please enlighten me. read the backlog and tell me what his problem is [11:22] jako I need it to be able to open a .xcf file. [11:22] hi all [11:23] where is the plugin directory for epiphany-browser in ubuntu? [11:23] I need to install flash from ter.gz [11:23] <[Ex0r]> wols_- like i've said three times before, I want to find out WHY even though my /etc/network/interfaces file says that wlan0 should be automatically configured, every time I turn on the computer I have to reconfigure it in order to get online. [11:24] does anyone know? [11:24] Is there a way to make stuff skip the recycle bin? I never use my recycle bin... [11:24] jakobsine , I need it to be able to open a .xcf file. [11:24] it ask me for a vaild dir? [11:24] [Ex0r]: with the info you gave so far we cannot tell you. either you give me pertinent info, like what you need to config again exactly, waht is in your interfaces file, how youw WPA supplicant is configured, etc. Either you tell us this or you hire a psychic. your choice [11:24] wols_, this isnt about whether or not they gave the info. it's about how you're talking *at* people. [11:25] After giving cc ab.c I am getting the following message:ab.c: In function ‘main’: [11:25] ab.c:3: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘printf’ [11:25] ab.c:2: warning: return type of ‘main’ is not ‘int’ [11:25] /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory [11:25] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [11:25] Badboy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:25] I use /usr/lib/epiphany-browser [11:25] but is not vallid [11:25] elkbuntu: have fun making the factoids more friendly if you don't like them. they are official ubuntu factoids. last but not least this is OT here imho. good day [11:25] I meant, is there any way to directly delete files without them going to the trash first? [11:26] yeah, using the terminal [11:26] <[Ex0r]> wols_- If you read the back log, you would also see that I also provided that information as well. I told you I need to configure the entire thing again (I have to unlock the interfaces, than reconfigure the wpa keys for the interface) on every single restart, and I also told you what was in my /etc/network/interfaces file as well [11:26] ;) [11:26] Badboy_: I'd ask ##c if I were you, not #ubuntu [11:26] does anyone use epiphany-browser here? [11:26] cleanux: Of course, but I meant from the GUI, thanks. [11:26] Theaxiom, are you using gnome? [11:26] cleanux: Yes I am. [11:26] [Ex0r]: imho you didn't. since you are unwilling to provide the info, please ask someone else. I will ignore you if you do likewise. maybe elkbuntu can help (good luck) [11:27] Theaxiom, press shift+delete when you've got the file selected :) [11:27] Theaxiom: rm [11:27] cleanux: Thanks, just like in windows. I appreciate it. [11:27] irc://us.quakenet.org/armake21-show [11:27] 0_o [11:27] <[Ex0r]> That's fine if you ignore me, it's not my fault you were arrogant enough to ignore what i've told you, and that the information i've provided you you do not understand. Thanks for trying anyways. [11:27] elkbuntu: can you tell cypher to stop that? he's doing it for the 3rd time already [11:28] Badboy_, why you want to use IDE. isn't gcc better? [11:28] [Ex0r]: having a line like, auto eth0, in your interfaces file will not automatically set it up for you. that just brings it up like, ifconfig up [11:28] does anyone use epiphany-browser here? [11:28] thank you [11:28] no actually i tried gcc first [11:28] dougsko: not really [11:28] hi all [11:28] But it was'nt working [11:28] does anyone use epiphany-browser here? [11:28] Badboy_: have you installed build-essential? [11:29] Badboy_, why is that [11:29] <[Ex0r]> elkbuntu- could you be of some assistance to me ? My /etc/network/interfaces file shows both my lo and wlan0 interfaces (wlan0 showing the wpa information), and both are set to auto, yet every time I restart my computer, I have to go into network configuration, unlock the interfaces (using the unlock button), and than have to re-configure the wpa key for the interface before it's finally able to connect. [11:29] !ot | Ex0r [11:29] Ex0r: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:29] well let me check [11:29] is there a channel for epiphany-browser [11:29] wols_: from the man page: "Lines beginning with the word "auto" are used to identify the physical interfaces to be brought up when ifup is run with the -a option. [11:29] hi all [11:29] !patience > ijn [11:29] ijn, please see my private message [11:29] re [11:29] i have a problem in remastering [11:29] Theaxiom, false alarm? [11:29] dougsko: I know the interfaces file, but what you said is not enough to configure an interface [11:30] elkbuntu: No, there was flaming going on before. [11:30] can any one help me? [11:30] Hi, how do i set my usb soundcard as default ? [11:30] sory [11:30] i have a notebook with ati 9100 igp and wnated 3d acceleration, what to do? [11:30] thanks [11:30] Theaxiom, it wasnt flaming. [11:30] !ask | Kasra[K] [11:30] Theaxiom: you use the "ati" driver (not fglrx [11:30] Kasra[K]: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [11:30] :) [11:30] ok [11:30] Kasra[K:dont ask tell what do want [11:30] wols_: all i said was that the "auto" keyword does not config anything. it just brings the nic up [11:30] elkbuntu: Okay I must have misinterpreted it, sorry. [11:30] it hsould be supported by the ati driver, but when i change it in the xorg.conf x wants to start in low graphics mode [11:30] The_Wolf: see above [11:31] holyguyver you still here? Have you tried http://rs340.rapidshare.com/files/86270575/gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb ? [11:31] <[Ex0r]> dougsko- the rest is already configured in the file. [11:31] The_Wolf: then pastebin the Xorg logs [11:31] <[Ex0r]> !topic [11:31] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [11:31] i want to change my panel [11:31] wols_: you are right. it is not installed! [11:31] where is ActionParsnip [11:31] but i'm in shell mode [11:31] has anyone encountered the Amarok-restarting-gnome problem (ubuntu hardy)? [11:32] so i can't change that [11:32] what can i do? [11:32] Kasra[K]: start X, start a remote X session, etc [11:32] wols_: ok i will give it another try, what should i add to a default xorg.conf? [11:32] in that - amarok starts ok and goes into the panel. but when you try to maximise it , gnome logs out. [11:32] <[Ex0r]> http://paste.ubuntu.com/43009/ [11:32] <[Ex0r]> that is my /etc/network/interfaces file [11:32] hello every one can i get any help regarding the ms database access files, can work with it , is dere any open source aviliabel for it [11:32] <[Ex0r]> with the psk and ssid ommitted [11:32] Badboy_, build-essentials are headers that you need for any code you write/compile [11:32] wols_, thanx, i'll try that [11:33] vibhor, openoffice base [11:33] how may i get it [11:33] compengi, they're not really headers...

[11:34] build-essential is a metapackage that includes among many other things C headers [11:34] compengi: I can't see your name. Please change the colour of your name [11:34] Badboy_: it's your client [11:34] amanulla: only if you ask an answerable question [11:34] <[Ex0r]> dougsko- i posted the url to my interfaces file. From what I gathered from the 150 man pages of interfaces, that is all that's required for the interface [11:35] Couldn't find package openoffice dis was the error [11:35] holyguyver: never mind, that one seems to be no use. Well, good luck and so on. [11:35] [Ex0r]: checked your logs after a sudo ifup -a? [11:35] vibhor: try openoffice-org [11:35] wols_:ActionParsnip said me to add some text in xorg.conf [11:35] vibhor, openoffice.org-base [11:35] How do i install my USB soundcard and set it to default? [11:35] <[Ex0r]> wols_- what logs should be checked ? I don't usually deal with system-end logs [11:35] to get my 3d effects enabled [11:35] elkbuntu: syslog and dmesg [11:36] elkbuntu: sorry.

[12:15] okey wols_ [12:15] so what that msg is for ? and does it affect the security of ubuntu ? [12:16] wigren: Bugger... Well, of course you'll need the appropriate dependancys to run the application. You could pinpoint what dependancys are needed and then download the appropriate codec pack (or dependancy's) ? [12:16] hi, my unterstanding is, that the ubuntu install recognizes windows installations. this does not work for me. neither in the partitioning part, nor does (when partitioning is done manually) grub. i tried to edit the menu.lst myself, but that messed up a lot and nothing worked anymore. (comp didn't even get to grub anymore. i got that fixed and want to install ubuntu again now.) what do i have to do, so ubuntu recognizes my windows? [12:16] ActionParsnip:where to exactly add this text Section "Device" [12:16] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [12:16] Driver "i810" [12:16] EndSection [12:16] over here http://paste.ubuntu.com/43022/ [12:16] amanulla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:17] slashjamiec: I'll try it that way. Thanks! [12:17] wigren: Good luck! [12:17] mAritz: nothing. you simply install it and it will see that there is a windows partition and will list it in grub [12:17] amanulla: correct, put the driver line under Configured video device inn your file [12:17] hello ne bdy tell me wat p2p networks r safest(no virus ,malware) [12:17] visu: None [12:17] anyone use Chrome with wine ?

Seriously, I want to know this before I go off churning from Firefox. [12:27] visu: we do not support p2p with copyright ifnringement in any way, shape or form. ask elsewhere [12:28] ActionParsnip:yaa i hv added this can i save this http://paste.ubuntu.com/43030/ [12:28] slashjamiec: do not ask "what is better" questions. they are futile. and dumb [12:28] slashjamiec, opera is great too, but firefox has better plugins, and is open source [12:28] wols:plz tell me some channel to get my doubts clarified i am very new to linux [12:28] visu: no. please go away or ask a ubuntu relevant question [12:29] Lemme rephrase my question: I'm having graphical issues and larger load times with Firefox, what browser does someone recommend that's gecko-based? [12:29] bringatowel: Thanks, I guess it's a toss-up [12:29] slashjamiec: firefox has more plugins, opera is in almost every other aspect better (except of course open source) and has most important stuff included (almost no need for plugins. i am using opera-irc right now for an example ;) ) [12:29] slashjamiec: does not exist [12:29] where to get drivers for my nvidia geforce mx 4 [12:30] !nvidia > visu [12:30] visu, please see my private message [12:30] visu: you will need the 96.xx legacy drivers [12:30] mAritz: Cool!

[12:31] slashjamiec: apiphany is a the gnome browser at uses gecko [12:31] bringatowel: envyng might. but I don't support envy. it's evil imho. and all forms [12:31] *epiphany [12:31] I am going to buy new CPU (quad core) will ubuntu work without reinstalling? [12:31] wols_, lol why? making drivers easy to install is a Good Thing [12:32] bringatowel: epiphany switched to webkit IIRC [12:32] kane77, i think it just depends on the architecture, like i386 or x64 or whatever [12:32] ActionParsnip : ru there? [12:32] erUSUL: Yeah, well, I guess I don't like Gnome (Hence the reason why I'm running fluxbox) [12:32] kane77: it will [12:32] wols_, bringatowel, cool.. thank you [12:33] slashjamiec: well think of it just as a gtk app check "galeon" too [12:33] !info galeaon [12:33] Package galeaon does not exist in hardy [12:33] !info galeon [12:33] galeon (source: galeon): GNOME web browser for advanced users.

[12:34] wols_, I'm running amd64 [12:34] wols_: I thought only x64 supports more than 3.18GB of ram =s [12:34] kane77: then no problems at all there [12:35] cool.. they should ship it tomorrow, can't wait.. [12:35] slashjamiec: and this is different from what I said how? (well the 3.18GB value is bogues of course) [12:36] I just installed LAMP, created a symbolic link for /var/www/ to ~/Documents/www/ but when I try to copy or create anything to the www folder it says permission denied. I tried to add my username and group name to http.conf but it did not work. can somebody help me please? here is my httpd.conf file: http://pastebin.com/d68318113 [12:36] wols_: Oh, sorry, you just said it might be tricky to use all the ram, and I was just agreeing moreso [12:37] anyway, isn't there PAE to support more? [12:37] AzizLight, go to ~/Documents and do "ls -l" and check the permissions on ~/Documents/www [12:38] Enjoy your night everyone! G'night [12:38] kane77: PAE is a crutch. a bad useless, evil crutch [12:38] slashjamiec, it's past noon here :) [12:38] bringatowel: the permissions of ~/Documents/www is 777 [12:38] AzizLight, and you are owner right? [12:39] ActionParsnip:pls reply to me [12:39] bringatowel: yes [12:39] AzizLight: the permission of the symlink is not relevent. /var/www/ perms are important [12:39] AzizLight: nad in your case the owner especially [12:39] AzizLight: maybe /home or /home/user is not world-readable [12:40] wols_, hmm.. I never used it.. I was using amd64 since I had 64bit cpu (had no reason really since I only got 1GB of RAM, but I had better feeling :) ) [12:40] /var/www/ is the symlink, right? [12:40] how do i get out of fullscreen more with the remote desktop viewer ? [12:40] mode not more [12:40] hello [12:40] AzizLight: sudo chmod o+w /home; sudo chmod o+w /home/user/ [12:40] ActionParsnip:pls reply to me what to do [12:40] bringatowel: no. /var/www is the original [12:40] genius: don't tell people to do such things [12:41] wols_, he made a symlink from /var/www -> ~/Documents/www i thought [12:41] i am using an ubuntu server and i want to add an user to the sudoers group, i need that user dont need type the passwd when uses the sudo command, i was reading and editing the sudo file such as a debian server, but it does not works [12:41] some clue, howto web or something is appreciated [12:41] wols_: if he want - he get :) [12:42] dVs--, according to vncviewer's man page f8 should bring up the popup menu.. [12:42] genius: a) your "solution" doesn't work and is a really bad one security wise [12:42] wols_: anyway i've mistaken :) +r i ment +r [12:42] genius: you're mistaken in more than one way. [12:42] genius: still doesnt work [12:42] GogoMyEggo, you can add them to /etc/sudoers but they still have to enter a password (their normal password) when using sudo [12:42] genius: now tell him to undo the damage you've done please [12:43] wols_: btw what's nad ? :S [12:43] AzizLight: please sudo chmod /home o-w ; sudo chmod /home/user o-w [12:44] genius: how does this unmake the damage? do you know that suddenly NO file needs to be world writable? [12:44] wols_: it just make w/w directory [12:45] genius: read how permissions work. you really need to read it again before giving any more advice [12:45] wols_: this time it worked... magic! :D [12:45] wols_: i know everything about permisions === cernex is now known as Cernex[Zzz] [12:45] genius: what you told others to do proves otherwise [12:45] genius: still doesnt work :S [12:45] thank you everyone and good bye. :) [12:46] AzizLight: how many users need to upload/change files in on the webserver?

[12:47] AzizLight: sudo chown -R aziz.aziz /var/www [12:47] amanulla: I won't tell you a third time [12:47] wols_: besides it's not a webserver it's a localserver [12:47] AzizLight: it's apache,it'S a webserver. no matter where it serves stuff [12:48] wols_: ok thanks a lot, it worked. you changed the owber of the www folder right? [12:48] wols_:i have done this http://paste.ubuntu.com/43030/ [12:48] AzizLight: yes. and it'S ok since you're the only one uploading stuff on the webserver [12:48] I'm having trouble reinstallling GRUB after installing windows. I'd mounted /mnt/sda2 (where the /boot partition was created) and I've cd'd to it. I think the next steps would be "sudo chroot . " and "sudo grub-install /dev/sda| [12:48] wols_: ok thanks a lot [12:48] !grub > Sparx [12:48] Sparx, please see my private message [12:48] wols_:pls dont hate me [12:48] AzizLight: you should paste the current permissions on /home and /home/user here for us to check. What does this return: ls -ld /home ~ [12:49] Nice one! :D === yofel_ is now known as yofel [12:49] Sparx: you iwll need to bind mount /proc and /dev inside the chroot first [12:50] did anyone here ever recompile a Ubuntu kernel? Since I'd like to know how much space recompilation can need... [12:50] wols_:im tired to ask [12:50] Toobaz3: a few hundred MB should be more than enough.

My webserver is supposed to take backups to a Windows share using CIFS, over the weekend the connection seemed to have failed somehow and now the line in /media where the mount point is looks like this: d????????? ? ? ? ? ? Backup [12:51] Toobaz3: ~500MB while compiling [12:51] AzizLight: looks fine [12:51] I can delete it, I can't remount it, I can simply not get it to work [12:51] hi [12:51] wols_: i did not put g+r on his dirs :) so no damage.

[12:54] wols_: does chmod o+r /home/user change any file in deirectory? :) it does change world-read permission on directory only!!!

[14:21] itsmrt: thats all? ...what about performance of the app built in gtk+...? will there be any problem ? [14:21] quick question - how do I copy the *contents* of foo/blah/ into foo/blee/ , rather than copying the directory blah/ into foo/blee?

See also !TV-Out [14:28] luckydeveloper: I haven't tried yet but it worked fine with my trekstor [14:29] Even though I've removed '/' from the Wine drive mappings, I can still browse to '/' from 'Desktop' in wine programs that I run. Is there any way to stop this? [14:29] itsmrt: thanks [14:29] amarok works well with any mp3-player, worth a try with ipods [14:29] jrib: thank [14:30] ActionParsnip: thanks [14:30] rhythmbox under gnome does also [14:30] luckydeveloper: np [14:30] can someone tell me what the "users" group is Ubuntu? is that the "basic user" account? [14:30] if i wanna add a user for a 10 year old, do i put him in the "users" group? [14:30] Xinfection: yeah id use amarok for media players, specially as i use amarok so very much [14:30] iSTRONG: oh definately [14:31] iSTRONG: take it out of the sudo group too :D [14:31] why are not guys preferring kubuntu??? [14:31] ok thanks. [14:31] if i want to assign a nice level, negative is better right? [14:31] luckydeveloper: i run fluxbox [14:31] why are not guys preferring kubuntu???:-[. [14:31] luckydeveloper: it comes with KDE. [14:31] luckydeveloper: kde is a bit bloaty for my likking [14:32] 'cause kde is for windows-lamers xD [14:32] no just kidding ;) [14:32] luckydeveloper, yeah because it runs kde [14:32] how can i install Virtual PC on my ubuntu 8.04 ? [14:32] ActionParsnip: but kde has more customizable options than gnome i guess [14:32] erm what's the sudo group called? [14:32] sudo [14:32] Fidel, you mean vmware? [14:32] kindofabuzz: lower nice values are less nice to your cpu, i.e, they will use more of it. [14:33] iSTRONG: admin [14:33] iSTRONG: admin [14:33] kindofabuzz: is kde ..that bad to use? [14:33] hey what is a good simple program for recording video with my webcam?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:33] fuck [14:33] i deleted the admin group [14:33] !vmware > Fidel [14:33] Fidel, please see my private message [14:33] i think gnome 's also very customizeable, and it's got cool widgets for the panel [14:33] iSTRONG: Please watch your language [14:33] sorry [14:33] like showing cpu-freq [14:33] luckydeveloper, I personally used kubuntu untill recently when i tried kde 4.x and disliked it so much that i switched to gnome the next day [14:34] luckydeveloper: I use xfce, as it is very lightweight and leaves much space for other windows [14:34] what do i do now? [14:34] kde4 is like what happened to gnome. [14:34] luckydeveloper: its each to their own. I use fluxbox as it just gets the job done, no messing around. I simpy dont care for prettys and gloss [14:34] kde 4.x gives a plastic kind of look === Ambri is now known as Kinetic [14:34] flux is also great, kinda freaky =) [14:35] Xinfection: how freaky? [14:35] it's just kinda pure you know, back to the roots [14:35] Xinfection: the only quirk is having to run idesk to get desktop icons which is very weird [14:35] !ot [14:35] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:36] luckydeveloper, all preference [14:37] ok. i re-added the admin group and put myself in it. now do i need to type a command to grant the "admin" group the correct priviledges? [14:37] actionparsnip: yep, but that only bar leaves much space for programms :) i use it quite rarely [14:37] i prefer gnome [14:37] luckydeveloper: just like some people really like compiz but i personally cant stand it [14:37] bazhang, please if you would like to search something in ubottu's brain you could do this by /msg ubottu . to prevent the channel from flood and confusion [14:37] How do I bind a network interface to a VM in VirtualBox? [14:38] Xinfection: only holds my web browser, plus I made them small so I can fit more. I use yakuake most [14:38] strAlan: stop the system and in prefs you should be able to enable the virtual network adapter [14:38] ActionParsnip, erUSUL: imagemagick worked well for that conversion. Thanks much. [14:39] please? anyone? I'm freaking out [14:39] iSTRONG: you dont need to do anything other than that, just logout and login again to make the group changes take effect [14:39] iSTRONG: that should've done the trick [14:40] ty [14:40] Hi. I am trying to code a plugin for evolution based on "mail notification plugin". [14:40] phew [14:40] could someone give me a hand setting up the /etc/sudoers to my liking? [14:40] hello every body :D [14:40] jimcooncat: awesome [14:40] jimcooncat: it does a lot, look into it more, you'll be amazed [14:40] hello everybody ................. [14:40] unicum: man sudoers has all the information you will ever need to write a sudoers file [14:40] So I used the same event hook as that plugin, folder.changed. But my c method that is supposed to be the handle is not called! [14:40] the user i set the box up for is supposed NOT to have root-rights. i already set up a root account, so i guess i'm good to go, but what exactly do i have to do [14:40] mgolisch: he deleted the admin group [14:41] i hellp help to get amsn in my ubuntu [14:41] Hi. Does anyone know of any software I can run on Ubuntu that will let me _Serve_ a bandwith test to clients via http? [14:41] Hello All [14:41] Are there free email clients for linux that use http protocols? [14:41] danyalo, install from the repos [14:41] ActionParsnip: yes, I used it before in years past -- but because it's not in my Graphics menu, I keep forgetting about it. [14:41] qr well, i guess, though usually a little help is much quicker then reading man-pages.. well, i'll give it a shot [14:41] Can anybody help me with the evolution plugin? [14:41] jimcooncat: haha nice [14:41] ActionParsnip: i think the only purpose of that group is to be used with sudo, there is a rule in the sudoers file which allows each user in that group to use sudo with its own suer password [14:42] zoed: use one line to state your problem, get more help. [14:42] mgolisch: ok, i wasnt aware to that degree how groups worked under the hood [14:42] how do i view a list of running programs? [14:42] w/window 2 [14:42] G3N0: ps axu [14:42] The plugin is recognized by evolution, I can see it in edit->Plugins, but it doesn't have any effect. [14:42] G3N0: ps -u$USER for just _your_ programs [14:43] My headset is working fine....but here is the problem [14:43] I cant seem to figure out how to get sound coming from JUST the headset. Usually it will have sound from the speakers AND the headset at the sametime [14:43] qr__: and then how do i close something? [14:43] It's based on the mail notification plugin, so it should work. [14:43] why isn't my "root" user part of my "root" group? [14:43] G3N0: um, the best way is to use the program's own shutdown command, but if you want something to just go away do sudo kill -9 pid_of_the_program [14:43] Does any linux email support http protocol (rather than pop or imap)? [14:44] hagus: pop and imap are the mail protocols [14:44] hagus: http is something entirely different [14:44] do you know any articles about photoshop CS2 installation? does it still unusible? [14:44] i'm trying to get ubuntu to run seamless in virtualbox on vist. I can get it to go seemless, but my menu bars dissapear(offscrean maybe, i dunno). Any ideas?

[14:45] ActionParsnip, thanks :0 [14:46] never heard of http mail protocol [14:46] I want a program that can read mail that is held on a microsoft-owned server, ActionParsnip - you are right. However, it is not accessible to me using gmail tools in, fe, thunderbird. [14:47] hagus: by microsoft-owned... do you mean exchange? Evolution can do exchange. [14:47] is there a program for recording video from webcam? === lzy--_ is now known as lzy-- [14:48] No - I have a little website that MS offered for free. It supports webmail but only firefox can access it on linux (so far that I have found). [14:48] so no pop3?

Now, for some reason, the Ubuntu file save dialog boxes are REALLY wide, like too big for the screen, and so is the "Places" menu, but not the Applications or System menus.

[16:40] hey guys. i just installed ssh server on my ubuntu system. but how can i configure it, that the ssh daemon starts at every boot? [16:40] monster: how? [16:40] my friend has a problem... he installed ubuntu 8.04 and when he shutdown his pc ubuntu unloads, disks turn off but the rest of the system is still running .. [16:40] kai`: it probably already does [16:41] sounds like apm isn't working, Phantomas...other than that, I wouldn't know [16:41] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [16:41] Myrtti: So then Ubuntu starts ssh daemon on bootup by default when someone installs it? [16:41] thank you for the flooding bot [16:41] so girls and boys, any surplus experts here? [16:41] kai`: yes. that someone must be able to use sudo [16:42] regeya: what is apm and how can i solve it please [16:42] kai`: ls /etc/rc2.d/*ssh* [16:42] kai`: if you install ssh-server, the postinst scripts are usually installed [16:42] !apm [16:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about apm [16:42] Myrtti: postinst scripts are "installed" with every package if there are some... [16:42] wols_: sorry, got distracted [16:43] Myrtti: but none of them ends up in init.d. I hope [16:43] kai`: if you install ssh-server, the postinst scripts are usually install the scripts that make the sshd run on boot [16:43] kai`: run the command I told you [16:43] goooohhh [16:43] Myrtti: you need more coffee :P [16:43] I need coffee [16:43] !offtopic [16:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [16:43] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [16:44] Im like thinking on the old top line Deskstar, great hdd with liftime waranty, only the old when 5600 spinns and like 20gig was the best, where are they, I wanna do like lots in a "supercomputer" lol [16:44] regeya: ?? [16:44] okay...I'll point out that the floodbot is kicking in when ubottu gives an answer...I had a suspicion but had to test...I realize I should have pm'ed myself but I didn't [16:44] regeya: do you have a ubuntu support related question, are you planning to help anyone with their problems, or are you here just to make a some odd point? [16:44] ops wrong channel :) [16:44] Myrtti: see above [16:45] I dont care about this fuckin ubuntu [16:45] Glady: fine, you're welcome to leave then [16:45] <^grand_champa^> i need cybercafe billing and auto recovery (like deepfreeze) on my kubuntu. can anybody help me? [16:45] also, if we're only allowed to be in the channel when we have a QUESTION we're all in trouble :-> [16:45] Glady is mady [16:45] grobda24: does not exist and I gave you two possible solutions [16:45] regeya: can you answer my point please? [16:45] regeya: read my question again [16:46] Phantomas: not really, but perhaps someone else could [16:46] regeya: get on topic or get out please [16:46] Myrtti: apparently you missed MY point, or are ignoring what I said. drop it already. [16:46] !test [16:46] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [16:46] i [16:46] regeya: you said about apm ... didnt you? so i guess you know what is apm... ? [16:47] if i want to remove dhclient -- what package should i remove from my box? [16:47] i'm starting sshd with /etc/init.d/ssh start [16:47] am i right? [16:47] i've installed iiiubuntu, classic on eee pc asus... can you list for me "sudo" applications? [16:47] hooi [16:47] hey can we boot gparted live on harddisk [16:47] a(dvanced?) power management, that would handle things like, say, shutting off when you issue a shutdown. aside from that, I don't know...I do know that on various machines I've had issues with it [16:47] el1: what is iiiubuntu? i only know of eeeubuntu [16:47] test27: that is OT here. we support ubuntu, not gparted live cds [16:48] is there a way for me to deactivate my wired ethernet connection (let no traffic pass through) but still retain the DHCP IP address that was given to it? [16:48] i'd like to switch to wireless but without losing the IP [16:48] grobda24: use iptables for that [16:48] test27: #gparted might be helpful [16:48] Hey guys, what is the default port in Transmission? I changed it by a mistake and can't remember the right one. [16:48] i have hp nx6110 laptop and 8.04 ubuntu, every time i try to suspend, it leaves me with blank screen and cursor blinking in top left corner [16:48] spreekt iemand hier nederlands? [16:48] port is 51413 [16:48] !nl > BladieBla [16:48] BladieBla, please see my private message [16:49] lilleskid: there is no default port. bt can use any port you designate [16:49] I know wols, but the one I wrote by a mistake is closed so I want to find the open port again, the one that worked. [16:49] But thx for answer! [16:50] lilleskid: 51413 <- that port can be used just fine [16:50] Great [16:51] lilleskid: you open the port. any port [16:51] Got a router and can't remember the login for it. [16:51] wols_: might be, that the port is closed by his/her router? [16:51] i will set again my question in case someone who knows didnt saw it: my friend has a problem... he installed ubuntu 8.04 and when he shutdown his pc ubuntu unloads, disks turn off but the rest of the system is still running .. [16:51] well maybe you guys can help me out [16:51] Hello, is the the ubuntu channel where the community helps each other? [16:51] monster: of course. but then he should check his router config, not ask us [16:51] nabilmalik: you're in it! [16:51] because i want to expand my ubuntu space [16:52] wols_: then ask him to check it [16:52] thanks jrib [16:52] test27: boot the ubuntu live cd and run gparted [16:52] lilleskid: it's 51413.. easy to remember, it's the first digits of pi backwards [16:52] i actually neven used irc before, but came here looking for help [16:52] wols_: what lilleskid is saying is that when first installed transmission was working fine but then he went and changed the port it listens on and now it is not connecting so he wants to put it back to the original port it listens on so it can work again. what you are talking about is portforwarding but I don't think he has the permissions to do that [16:52] how do i ping a computer on my network to find its ip address? ie, ping Marfi (marfi being the computer name) [16:52] is that using CD? [16:53] Yeah that portname solved it, thanks a lot guys! :) [16:53] test27: yes. "ubuntu live CD" denotes a CD. imagine that [16:53] IdleOne, the listening ports are 6881 - 6889 if i remember correctly [16:53] no problem mate [16:53] it seems like my ubuntu based desktop is hacked.. [16:53] nabilmalik: what makes you think that? [16:53] brb [16:53] and i was going to rebuild it, but though that i will ask for some suggestion [16:54] i have like 17G for the / mount [16:54] why do you think it has been hacked? [16:54] and suddenly all is full [16:54] when i do df -h, it says all 17G is full [16:55] you need to use disk usage analyzer and find out what is so big [16:55] it was all fine one 2 days ago.. and there was enough space [16:55] i saw the same thing happen on a debian system, he thought he was hacked too [16:55] how do i ping a computer on my network to find its ip address? ie, ping Marfi (marfi being the computer name) [16:55] may have been [16:55] Hello. I have started a program called GCALDaemon in console. The program run in background and I only can stop it in closing the console or in system monitor with Kill process command. Is there any command I can use to stop it and staying in the console? [16:55] use application >> accessories >> Disk usage Analyzer [16:55] disk usage analyzer... hum [16:55] Marfi: use arp [16:55] let me check [16:56] Crtl -X will kill the app with out closing the term window [16:56] Marfi, nslookup [16:56] how do i disable the start of xorg on boot? [16:56] Ok, hey, i just installed the latest ubuntu on my HP 4gig ram, 2.66ghrtz core 2 duo computer, with a nvidia 256mb ram video card, and i used ENVYNG to install that, but when i run world of warcraft, i get a good 30 FPS but then after a second it just drops to 10FPS for no reason and it never goes back up. and i lowered the resolution to 800 X 600 and it starts out on 60fps and for no reason it drops to 10fps. [16:57] wols_: can i use harddsik instead the cd? [16:57] Vonoff: ubuntu? gnome? [16:57] Control X is a great kill switch for term apps [16:57] test27: no [16:57] is there any WSDL editor for ubuntu? preferably not eclipse [16:57] wols_, ubuntu / console [16:57] is there a apt-get command to repair an application? [16:57] i just asked disk analyser to do a Scan Filesystem.. it working now [16:57] Vonoff: your desktop environment is not "console". delete /etc/rc.d/S99gdm [16:57] Marfi: depends how it is broken [16:58] use " man apt-get" [16:58] i have been fiddling with du command and got pretty frustrated [16:58] it will give you information on options and values you can use [16:58] owww [16:58] wols_, i mean I am on the console and want to prevent Xorg from starting at boottime [16:58] well, it's wine, and it won't open any applications. Even the config will not open [16:58] Vonoff: I just told you [16:58] Vonoff: IF you run gnome [16:58] well try using a different tty [16:58] anyone know if theres any problems having both clamav and avast installed at the same time? [16:58] hi all [16:58] vonoff just alt+Crtl +1 [16:58] thse dont run as daemons on ure system unless u specifically install daemons for them right? [16:59] or 1-7 [16:59] these* [16:59] myron: try to open it frm an xterm [16:59] does anybody know why openoffice 3.0 is not available in ubuntu 8.10 ? [16:59] didn't even think about that, thanks [16:59] which distro that support nvidia 9600? [16:59] !ot > charliecb [16:59] charliecb, please see my private message [16:59] test27: try to install nvidia drivers with envyng [17:00] how do I know how my wireless lan is labeled (like eth0, ra0 or whatever)? [17:00] nabilmalik did you find the massive file or files? [17:00] i have 9600 on hardy but the hardy doesn't deteect my card at all [17:00] wers: iwconfig [17:00] test27: I just told you what to do [17:00] how do I enable XDMCP on a Ubuntu Server? [17:00] just click scan file system and sit back [17:00] turns out that wine won't open because there is a conflict with a printer [17:00] hi, is it possible to install a 32bits application on my 64bits ubuntu ? [17:00] aconrad: in a chroot yes [17:01] envyng doesn't work [17:01] !doesn't work > test27 [17:01] test27, please see my private message [17:01] wols_, I mean installing an app from the ubuntu repos [17:01] thanks, wols! [17:01] aconrad: so do I [17:01] its seems need a manual install [17:01] test27: wrong [17:01] how do I enable XDMCP on a Ubuntu Server? [17:01] how do I enable XDMCP (Remote login) on a Ubuntu Server? [17:01] I'm trying to replace my old network card on my server. I took out the old one and inserted 2 new ones instead ('cause I don't know if they work). I connected one of the cards to my switch and the lights are on on the card, but when I boot Ubuntu and run ifconfig only the loopback interface shows up. I added an entry for eth1 aswell in /etc/network/interfaces but when I restarted the networking daemon it said Device not found. Does [17:01] this mean that both my cards are broken? [17:01] hmmm [17:02] then what should i do [17:02] negge^: ifconfig -a [17:02] negge^: also check dmesg [17:02] Juje007, do you have gnome or kde intalled, by default server doesn't so you just ssh [17:02] wols_ what should I look for? [17:02] (in dmesg) [17:02] test27: I told you [17:02] Yes, i found the massive file.. so embarrasing [17:02] Just Ubuntu [17:02] the envyng cannot find the proper driver for my 9600 [17:02] it was not hacked [17:02] what was the file? [17:02] negge^: for eth [17:02] well that is good news then [17:02] wols_ dmesg | grep eth then? [17:03] rather a embarrasing moment then to really be hacked [17:03] test27: and you cannot give us error messages. clearly envyng is the smarter of you two [17:03] Just Ubuntu kindofabuzz [17:03] well, 2 days ago is was trying to backup a folder using webmin [17:03] I'll see what I'll find, be back in a minute [17:03] negge^: ifconfig -a [17:03] Juje007, yeah but you said Ubuntu server, did you actually install Ubuntu server edition? [17:03] I see [17:03] Ya kindofabuzz [17:03] the backup failed, and i never realized that is must have left some file [17:03] minor mistake big consequences [17:03] !webmin [17:03] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [17:04] i don't remember the message [17:04] nabilmalik: see this? all YOUR fault for using webmin [17:04] wols_ ifconfig -a showed that there is eth2 and eth3. I guess that was the problem [17:04] Juje007, there is no XDMCP then, just ssh to it [17:04] Ok [17:04] ubuntu do need a real XML editor imho [17:04] hum, probably you are right about webmin [17:04] !ebox [17:04] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [17:04] how do i make sure clamav runs only when i spawn it to scan files and not run as a daemon always in my system? [17:04] I need to have the desktop version for remote login kindofabuzz? [17:05] ebox sounds interesting, gonna take a look at it. Thanks for the quick help wols_ (second time today) [17:05] wols_: how about interpid ibex can it support my card? [17:05] anyways, you guys just saved me atleast 4 hours of work.. Cannot thank you enough [17:05] Juje007, or just sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop [17:05] Juje007, on the server [17:05] no problem glad we could help [17:05] nnull: make sure it's not loaded by init scripts [17:05] No ty for that :P [17:05] wols_, how do i check that mate? [17:06] system > admin > services ? [17:06] I just want to have my server and not the desktop part [17:06] kindofabuzz [17:06] Thanks and god luck to all.. -Nabil. [17:06] unable to look up via gethostbyname [17:06] good luck [17:06] does anyone know what that means????? [17:06] SurfnKid: couldn't resolve a host via DNS [17:07] wols_ to check for init loading is it just in services? [17:07] wols_: so... for example... this system has been off for a year, now its back up and on, and i get this message [17:07] ha sanybody tried out the new packagekit application? [17:07] has anybody~ typo [17:07] wols_: what is the difference between a new system that resolves the host without a network interface up [17:07] and a system that gets this error? [17:07] SurfnKid: a working or non working resolver [17:07] ah ok [17:08] man I'm happy. Just by replacing a crappy old 3com network card with another crappy old 3com network card I boosted my transfer speeds between my desktop and server from around 2 Mbit/s to 94 Mbit/s:) [17:08] On windows i had windows messenger which had sharing folders is there a similar solution for ubuntu [17:08] is it in the /etc/network/interfaces ? [17:08] this rocks [17:08] is anjuta a good ide? [17:08] it is supposed to be a simply repository managment application that may see its way in the next distro of ubu [17:08] SurfnKid: no [17:08] I have a problem: the ubuntu i installed in my sister's laptop froze at boot-up somewhere in "routine check drives"...wtf happened? [17:08] !gethostbyname [17:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about gethostbyname [17:08] tsolox have you tried booting into recovery mode? [17:09] SurfnKid: do you have a prompt now? [17:09] wols_ another quick question... In which log is the stuff that is printed during startup stored? I got some warnings and stuff that I'd like to correct but I can't find it [17:09] hit esc on grub and select the second options [17:09] negge^: sometimes syslog. but not all [17:09] yeah i have it, but when i try to do any admin commands, any sudo commands, any starting of programs, or the such [17:09] wols_ I checked there but it contained too much [17:09] it takes a while, about 3 minutes and then sometimes [17:09] I'm booting in "quiet" mode [17:10] SurfnKid: nslookup google.com [17:10] if im in a console i get this error [17:10] tsolox other option is to boot from live disk and view the log files after a chroot [17:10] wols_: there is no network [17:10] wols_: and actually [17:10] SurfnKid: DNS with no network is kinda useless [17:10] it is looking for its own host... the comptuer's name for example is axion [17:10] nw15062: she's 5000 miles from me now... [17:10] and it says, unable to find axion by the gethostbyname [17:10] I see well thats going to be tough [17:10] SurfnKid: add acien to /etc/hosts [17:11] ok brb [17:11] :) [17:11] whoever invented that "routine check drives"...needs to better check his code [17:11] you could also find out by disableling quiet and splash i the boot parameters through grub [17:11] nw15062: how can i do that, she only knows to click a button... [17:12] <^grand_champa^> i need cybercafe billing and auto recovery (like deepfreeze) on my kubuntu. can anybody help me? [17:12] the computer probably has a corrupted secotr or damage to the platter so it keeps analyzing [17:12] why it takes so long to get eclipse 3.3 to repo [17:12] wols_ to check for init loading is it just in services? [17:12] well our out of luck have her use the live cd till you can get it fied [17:12] i carefully prepared her dualboot setup..and now only Windows XP survives....sort of make me think that Windows still is the system to go... [17:12] a strategy game for linux? [17:12] !games > tavi [17:12] tavi, please see my private message [17:13] very disappointed with Ubuntu...its just eye candy on the surface but ... crap in side... [17:13] O.o [17:13] * maxb is extremlely confused [17:13] tsolox: its debian inside. go tell that to #debian :-P [17:13] tsolox the only way to fix it is A. walk her through it B. travel to fix it or C. walk her through a reinstall. but if the hard disk drive has issue then it will simply happen again. [17:13] Somehow X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true in a desktop file is preventing it being shown in GNOME [17:14] tsolox: unfortunatelly; btw this is offtopic here, try ##club-ubuntu [17:14] tsolox it is a power house underneath dont blame software for hardware issues dont blam computers for human error. [17:14] anyone tell me how i check my init.d to see if clam is running in background always pls [17:14] LimCore: Please don't advertise non ubuntu channels here. [17:14] Pici: right, ##club-ubuntu is about slackware, as the name says [17:15] tsolox if your sister can only ckicl then maybe she is not quit ready for ubuntu or ubuntu is not quit ready for her. [17:15] I love ubuntu....she paid me to set that up, and i told it's going to be the best setup ever..Dualboot with XP an ubuntu.Apparently, XP is more robust..

And i was proud for the setup...now she;s in NY..and it stopped booting...hang up on "routine check drives" durig boot [17:16] thx [17:17] unbuntu does nto simply break usually human intervention or hardware failure will break it [17:17] Hi all [17:17] hello [17:17] in on occasion a distro upgrade [17:17] and I convinced here about Linux..and ubuntu..but now, Im embarassed [17:17] tsolox: I seen ubuntu to fail totally to boot after working for some time - but I think its harddrive problem [17:17] freshclam is just a program to update virus defs yea?

[18:23] ninuuz go to a terminal as a superuser, and give: gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [18:23] kindofabuzz: You could easikly enable samba in older ubuntu [18:23] !virtualbox > ay^ [18:23] ay^, please see my private message [18:23] i get an error report [18:23] Iradieh, sure, just think real hard and it will work. of course you have to install something lol [18:23] kwrite: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [18:23] guido79 [18:23] <_moro_bana_> can i use vpnc on ms pptp ? [18:24] Iradieh, actually i don't really know what you're trying to do, i just saw something about NFS [18:24] Daisuke_Ido: yeah I tried virtualbox an qemu but I need/want to install vista in the virtual machine, neither of those seemed to manage that [18:24] filthpig: if something goes wrong is it easy to revert what i've setup there? [18:24] rich_, No I haven't. From what I have seen, Mplayer has the most formats and capability as well as the most consistent player I know of. [18:24] ah, then yeah, check out vmware server or vmware player [18:25] ninuuz, what's the problem ? Tried the command I suggested ? [18:25] yes, guido79 - could we speak in PM? [18:25] Daisuke_Ido: thanks again! [18:25] filthpig: i added fusion-icon (compiz fusion icon) but im worried because when i run that on alt f2 it restart the whole compiz again, that could slow down my boot, couldnt it? [18:25] pedro, it's no problem; If you've done something wrong, the program simply won't start. [18:25] ninuuz I guess yes [18:26] ninuuz what's PM ? [18:26] kindofabuzz: Well I installed samba [18:26] private message guido79 [18:26] and I shared it [18:26] and it still didnt work [18:26] pm means personal message [18:26] ninuuz Try, I never done it. [18:26] and kindofabuzz dont be a condescending dick, I asked if there is tools already [18:27] Iradieh, quit being a newb and don't be afraid to install something [18:27] without a total redownload/reinstall is there a way i can get the optomized kernel for my P4 with HT? [18:27] pedro, I'm not experienced with the fusion-icon, but I guess you're doing something wrong with some parameters [18:28] alpha232, the -generic *is* optimized for p4 [18:28] Linux chef 2.6.24-19-386 #1 Wed Aug 20 21:59:50 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [18:28] hmmm ok [18:28] pedro, if you use this command: "fusion-icon --no-start" compiz will not be started anew [18:28] i see 386 and i wonder [18:28] just build the kernel from the git tree [18:29] pedro, without the quotation marks, of course [18:29] Hey guys [18:29] magnetron: so all i need to do is enable ht=on in my grub.lst [18:29] er grub/menu.lst that is [18:29] need some help with compiz on an HP [18:30] what is it B3z3rk3r ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:30] alpha232: then install it and reboot to that kernel [18:30] thanks filthpig, i'll try it [18:31] B3z3rk3r: #compiz-fusion is a good place for compiz help [18:31] how do i reinstall xorg.conf? i tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it still seems messed up. this all happened after i was attempting to get my wacom bamboo working in ubuntu, and after i saved xorg.conf and logged out, the screen messed up. next time the screen reslution was extremely small. i attempted to fix running that command above and entering startx dosent seem to d anything. also i dont get the right [18:31] anyone?

[18:33] Can someone please tell me why Shared Folder from Admin menu isnt in ubuntu 8 http://www.moixo.com/es/sharing-files-folders-from-ubuntu-to-mac-os-x [18:34] wellson-Almeida, oj! [18:34] alpha232 -server is compact system for server [18:34] alpha232: the -server is the server kernel I guess and generic is optimised like magnetron stated. I don't know the exact differences [18:35] Iradieh, they moved it to the folder properties. right click any folder and select the sharing properties in that menu [18:35] darjeeling: i'm trying to find out what is or is not in it [18:35] darjeeling: i won't be running X thats for sure :D [18:35] magnetron, i dont believe i edited a backup. but i attempted to backup and nothing seemed to work [18:35] alpha232 in that case use -server =) [18:35] thanks ubottu :) [18:36] RoshanK, did you make the backup when things were ok?

Encryption speed starts out around 2MB/s, then dwindles away to slower and slower until it can take days to encrypt 2GB. Is this normal or a problem with Ubuntu? [19:34] I hear Ubuntu login sound pretty fine. But is I trying to use Ekiga (and in other places like some films viewing) - the sound is very-very silent. [19:34] allen, log out then back in.

[19:40] Excuse me, not a technical question, but I recently un-archived a .tbz2 file, specifically the one used for stone soup's dungeon crawl (v4.3) , and none of the read-me files inside the new directory state what the make/compile command should be... Does anyone happen to know this tidbit of info? I have googled this... Its being particularly difficult to find...

My windows installation got rid of my grub boot loader, and now trying to reinstall it from the ubuntu help page, but grub can't find my partition.

[19:47] system preferences screen [19:47] btw, how can i uninstall something ? [19:47] I'd really prefer not to have to reinstall ubuntu [19:48] Vock, sounds like you need to chroot to your install from the livecd. [19:48] peter__ try looking in system->preferences->screen resolution [19:48] allen, sudo apt-get remove program or add/remove or synaptic package manager. [19:48] allen, I'd suggest reading over the ubuntu guide, lots of info there. [19:48] i will [19:49] nandemonai: I'm new to linux, not entirely sure what that means... [19:49] thx for leads [19:49] allen, nps [19:49] Vock, one moment [19:49] why is my ubuntu taking SOO long to load at startup?

[19:54] Oh, of course. Didn't think about that. Well, thanks Pici, DIFH-iceroot [19:54] Vock, provided you follow the post there up to grub.. a simple grub-install should work. [19:54] See ya [19:54] huua [19:54] Uplink, it indexes your files for quick searching through tracker. [19:55] nandemonai, i meant if its necessary? [19:55] We have a system where gcc is being distributed via NFS. Do I need anything special to compile C code via gcc? [19:55] Uplink, I'm pretty sure if you turn indexing off the tracker tool wont work so you might not be able to search for files in gnome. Not too sure. [19:56] nandemonai: I tried it through that method, and it still didn't work. It still can't find my partition [19:56] Uplink, honestly though I wouldn't turn it off.. [19:56] Vock, hmm, that's a doozy then. === mi is now known as bgmiki [19:56] Uplink, it shouldn't be slowing down the system too much.

[20:06] (on a 64-bit system) [20:07] Vock, just guessing based on looking at it, though when I say boot I mean /boot not the bootloader partition. [20:07] Vock, actually wait..

[20:14] nandemonai, it's all good, i don't understand why it can't find it either, it's really bugging me [20:14] mostly because i can't use my computer [20:14] you know when you start typing letters (to highlight the file that begins with that letter), a small dialog pops up? [20:15] sometimes it doesnt work, and ive noticed its when i have multiple nautilus windows open... does anyone experience this problem?

[20:21] nandemonai: especially if the search query box is already open in another window, yeah [20:21] m0u5e, that's the problem right there.

I have just made a fresh install of the breezy badger on this computer...How do I tell the synaptic packedage handler to look for other packedges than what is on the ubuntu cd? :-) [22:26] abrahm: then editting the line allows you to keep the original line without it doing anything [22:26] is there some samba supported file transfer with resume? [22:26] abrahm: put a # at the start of the line to comment [22:26] cbmfreak: Any reason in particular you're using Breezy?

He asked how to add packages *not* on the CD. [22:27] RyanPrior: no :-) I ordered the cds once and have had them lying around and decided to check it out :-) [22:27] ah now I remember "ab" is the command [22:28] im on a compaq presario F700 laptop , i followed the help in the manual, with no results, it sees that there is a wireless card in the terminal [22:28] RyanPrior: cbmfreak: then invert my answer [22:28] but i dont know how to configure the card [22:28] Mephisto_: what is the line in the output of lspci [22:28] actionparsnip, still gives me read only :( [22:28] hi [22:28] abrahm: you need to save the file and exit [22:28] i can't run a .ko script [22:29] i did [22:29] abrahm: then type sudo mount -a [22:29] i do ./wacom.ko and it says that Permission denied [22:29] and if i sudo, then it says that the command was not found [22:29] cbmfreak: I'm glad you did. Breezy was a good distro - but we've added thousands of features and fixed millions of bugs since then. :-) ActionParsnip is correct - you need to make sure your resource list (/etc/apt/sources.list) contains the Dapper repository.

[23:03] Daisuke_Ido, it's r-base-dev, and when i ran upgrade it says it was 'kept back' [23:04] bosan4edos: I just wrote it already. Search google for an introduction to set up a mail server! [23:04] It's very advanced. [23:04] kleinerhat? [23:04] Mat2: Jepp. moment please. [23:04] how do you download the drivers for a wireless card? [23:04] ok [23:04] Hi have installed swfdec flash but firefox does not show flash player any advice pse? [23:04] Cutter: crc32 exists on the livecd, doesnt it? [23:04] Daisuke_Ido, removed & reinstalled it ... trying a restart now [23:04] nope [23:05] alistair: uninstall that and try gnash [23:05] And still, nobody helps. [23:05] Scunizi, tks wilco [23:05] note as a bash command at least [23:05] :) [23:05] Hello. I'm having trouble with my wireless connection with a (fully updated but freshly installed) Gutsy Gibbon on an Acer Travelmate 720. It connects and stays on for about five minutes, then suddenly drops the connection. Ping goes from happy pinging to "destination host unreachable". Can you point me in the right direction? [23:05] MortenB: thanks [23:06] hello everybody,i'm trying to install ubuntu but the same error message keeps repeating over and over again : Buffer I/0 error on device fd0, logical block 0, eventually followed by an empty black screen.wht is going wrong? [23:06] Scunizi, sorry forgot to mention using Kubuntu [23:06] alistair: shouldn't make a diff.. [23:06] I am having some problems with lftp. I can't figure out a way to move everything from one directory/folder to another directory/folder. Any suggestions? [23:06] Mat2: I'm sorry, it's possible to change any custom added icons and names. But "Applications", "Places" or "System" is only stored in a file. [23:07] hello guys [23:07] Cutter: maybe md5sum is the way to go...if you cant get CRC32 [23:07] so i cant change the text coulor [23:07] Daisuke_Ido, no go ;/ [23:07] Text colour? [23:07] alistair: 3.5.x.x or 4.1? [23:07] Flare183: I am assuming over the network, otherwise I would go with cp [23:07] Mat2: You wanna change the name or the colour? [23:07] :\ [23:07] the coulor [23:07] Phantal: what are you upgrading from/to? [23:07] angusthefuzz: But the folders are on the server. [23:08] Mat2: Panel or text colour? [23:08] Daisuke_Ido, 7.10 to whatever the current 'released' version is (8.04?) [23:08] k [23:08] Scunizi, u r right - there is a KDE version of gnash I couldnt find it cause searched for 'flash' and its under 'SWF' [23:08] alistair: there's also "flash-nonfree".. search the repo for "flash" to see the options.. [23:08] Flare183: have you tried rsync? are you familiar with it at all? [23:08] the text coulor of everything on the panel i made a mistake [23:09] alistair: weird .. it should have popped up when searching for "flash" [23:09] Daisuke_Ido, if i type 'startkde' at the terminal window it opened up, kde opens just fine [23:09] Scunizi: alistair: gnash is not only for gnome. [23:09] angusthefuzz: I'll try it [23:09] Mat2: [23:09] Pici: how 'bout flash-nonfree? [23:09] Hello i want to make mail address example: myname@myname.org like myname@yahoo.com i run linux ubuntu 7.10 can somebody help me please ? [23:09] yep [23:10] Mat2: I think i got it.... . try this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5043898 [23:10] Scunizi: none of them are DE specific [23:10] ok ill be back [23:10] Unfortunately even the KDE gnash has not shown up in Firefox sec - ill just close and reopen [23:10] bosan4edos: First you need to own the domain myname.org [23:10] Guys can You help me?:-( I got a problem with my wireless. I'm trying to run it in ad-hoc mode. In routing mode i seem to be connected but i dont have internet connection and i cant ping serwer despite the linux(client) and windows(servers) shows connection in tray. Windows-windows connection work without problems:( I am using ndiswrapper. Help me i really want to run that network with linux.When i try to configure it in manual way, (writi [23:10] Szadowek [23:11] Already googled for it? [23:11] Pici: thanks [23:11] Yes googled.. I cant find help KleinerHai [23:11] thats the text not the text colour [23:11] Szadowek: can you ping the linux machine from windows? If so, are the windows machines running a firewall? A lot of windows firewalls like to block everything (including pings) [23:11] genii: ohh ok then thx :( [23:11] Hmm, I must be a bit thick this morning - to make flash work in firefox gnash is not needed a flash extension is needed right? [23:12] i will look now qr [23:12] afe [23:12] genii: Thanks for this first advice to bosan4edos..... . He didn't believed me to create a mailserver... :) [23:13] how do you change the keyboard layout to UK style? i.e. so that Shift and 2 = " instead of @ [23:13] But i have mine firewalls off [23:13] On windows [23:13] Trying to ping it [23:13] Gizmo_The_Great: System --> Preferences [23:14] hello, i cant seem to connect to any of the repositories [23:14] when i do an update [23:14] Gizmo_The_Great: Keyboard [23:14] KleinerHai, lol..I know that. Tried the Keyboard layout to all the different generic ones but no change [23:14] SurfnKid: What version of Ubuntu? [23:14] where does update-manager look for its DNS name servers [23:14] Pici: let me check [23:14] Ah :) [23:14] 6.06 dapper [23:14] KleinerHai, I assume you dont have to reboot after making a Keyboard layout chnage? [23:14] Gizmo: You mean u changed already? [23:15] Gizmo: I'll try it ou ;) [23:15] Can anyone guide me to debug using the ---sync command line???? Thanks [23:15] SurfnKid: it uses the same dns servers that everything else uses. [23:15] Pici: doesnt resolve anything under apt-get... it says no such domain [23:15] KleinerHai, yeah - I had to reinstall graphics card and sine then it has changed the keyboard layout and I cant get it back [23:15] but look im online :) [23:15] I tried installing a package (libghc6-wash-dev) which failed due to a post-installation script error. Now I can't remove the package either. How do I remove this from my system? [23:15] Trying to avoid the Adobe flash player for Firefox there may be an alternative ???? [23:15] SurfnKid:Can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list ? [23:15] sure [23:15] one moment [23:15] DavidCanarias: --sync looks like a command line option to some program... but you haven't said which one. [23:15] I cant ping mine linux machine from windows machine [23:15] Gizmo_The_Great: Ah! I understand.... . [23:16] ...but i've changed it already and no change of the keys layout... . [23:16] hm... [23:16] It seems to be connected but there is no connection.. strange [23:16] U restartet x11? [23:16] KleinerHai, when using the dpkg reconfigure xorg-server its possible to auto detect the keyboard layout - not sure how to do it within Ubuntu GUI though [23:16] why should I? [23:16] KleinerHai: CTRL+ALT+DEL [23:17] Yeah? [23:17] hi. I've got a toshiba satellite A300-15j, and ubuntu doesn't see my ethernet so I cannot use my router, what can I do? [23:17] a/win 35 [23:17] KleinerHai, I figured that was a bit drastic for a simple keyboard layout adjustment [23:17] hello, i'm trying to install but i keep getting the same error5 [some large integer Buffer I/0 error on device fd0 , logical block 0 ] over and over again.What is wrong? [23:17] KleinerHai i cant ping mine windows machine from mine linux machine [23:17] Gizmo_The_Great: Which Desktop you use? [23:17] gnome [23:17] http://pastebin.ca/1193091 [23:17] So ubuntu? [23:18] Can anyone help me get the subversion pluging for monodevelop working with sourceforege? [23:18] KleinerHai, yep [23:18] Szadowek, please wait a few minutes. [23:18] how can i set the size of tmpfs (/dev/shm) - i need it bigger, because I have some virtual machines in qemu [23:18] qr - the error was BadWindow.. [23:18] Gizmo...okay... [23:18] Ok waiting [23:18] DavidCanarias: what program though? [23:18] Write when You will be free [23:18] DavidCanarias: I'm guessing firefox ?? [23:19] qr - I think it must be something to do with Java using firefox yes [23:19] Gizmo_The_Great: And after dpkg it does not work? [23:19] how d you restart a tty ? [23:19] my tty1 seems to be stuck, but tty2 works. [23:19] i tried killing the tty1 getty process but didn't do anything [23:19] it just launched another process [23:19] but the screen is dead [23:19] :/ [23:19] Szadowek: Thats odd, did you perhaps have a proxy setup to connect to the internet previously? [23:20] KleinerHai, it's a long story, but I haven't run the dpkg reconfigure this time. I used the envy script to re-install the NVIDIA drivers. Ever since, US keyboard layout, not UK [23:20] DavidCanarias: well if you don't know what program it is there's not much you can do. Try firefox --sync, although that's really not going to help anything on its own. [23:20] Pici: http://pastebin.ca/1193091 [23:20] Gizmo_The_Great: Okay. And after choosing the right layout and newstart it does not change? [23:20] Won't someone bite and help me with my wireless trouble? [23:21] qr - I sent you a private message [23:21] KleinerHai, no. [23:21] SurfnKid: Thats odd, did you perhaps have a proxy setup to connect to the internet previously? [23:21] Pici: No that is fresh ubuntu just installed [23:21] hello, im trying ti install ubuntu from cd but i keep getting the same error ( [some large integer] , Buffer I/0 error on device fd0, local block 0 How do i fix this? THanks in advance [23:22] Szadowek: Sorry, I meant to message someone else. [23:22] I see [23:23] MortenB, have you tried turning off roaming once its accessing? [23:24] is there a way to blacklist package list servers? [23:24] Pici: well here is the thing, the computer had some dead capacitors, which were repaired, and its been one year, i had trouble with getbyhostname() and i fixed that by adding 127.0.1.1 and machine name [23:24] can I force apt to remove a package even if the post-install script fails? [23:25] Pici: and now sometimes i can connect with apt-get but never with update-manager, so i dont know what is going on.. no proxy at all, i have tor disabled [23:25] Gizmo_The_Great: Okay, sorry, but i've to go. But good luck for the solution! [23:25] byebye [23:25] infinite: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-end_request-ioerror-dev-fd0-sector0/ [23:26] Gizmo_The_Great: envy shouldn't mess w/ keyboard layout, but who knows what that program does [23:26] KleinerHai, edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf where the input device specified 'us' keyboard. Changed it 'uk' and restart X. Seems to work although I get an error about us settings being expected [23:26] Pici: i really dont need to connect anymore, but there are a few updates that were held back and i would like to install them and i dont know why i cant [23:27] why on earth there isn't a 'UK Keyboard' selection is beyond me [23:27] SurfnKid: try apt-get dist-upgrade [23:27] ah ok [23:27] dang i cant [23:28] connect (111 refused) [23:28] could it be the authentication? [23:28] but i never need to authenticate [23:28] SurfnKid: What authentication? === dogfacehat is now known as theCompanion [23:28] Pici: right, what ! heh [23:28] SurfnKid: You did use sudo with that, right? [23:29] i take that back - if you click on 'Layouts' tab in Keboard settings, and then 'Add' there's a list of countries!! [23:29] BOAH [23:29] Pici: yeah of course, i mean if i boot to root. it works, but just not on a normal session [23:29] its weird [23:29] i have a server that i created a new user account on, but when i connect to it via ssh, I see only $, and not user@host:~$ [23:30] anyone know the best repo package for rar archives? [23:30] does anyone have any idea what the heck is dovecot ? [23:30] Pici: im going to boot to root and install this [23:30] d0wn - check your /etc/passwd [23:30] and then be back in a few mins [23:30] thanks for the help brb [23:31] DataMatrix: what should I check for in /etc/passwd [23:31] d0wn: try running chsh -s bash [23:31] the last parameter there is shell. if it's /bin/sh and not /bin/bash it will show like that with only $ [23:31] d0wn: sounds like the user may have sh as their shell rather than bash [23:31] mich54: dovecot is a mail server [23:32] funkyHat: I get bash is an invalid shell. [23:32] d0wn: ok try /usr/bin/bash [23:32] d0wn: /bin/bash or /usr/bin/bash [23:32] glitsj16, i c , but all i have seen from it is errors in everything i try to install on my system [23:33] d0wn: then you'll need to logout and connect again and it should be friendly bash then [23:33] mich54: strange indeed .. did you install dovecot mailserver ? [23:33] If I "killall pulseaudio" and then reload pulseaudio I get the following error that might be causing my old fashioned mic not to work. http://paste.ubuntu.com/43195/ Any clue's would be appriciated. [23:33] glitsj16, Errors were encountered while processing dovecot-common , dovecot-imapd , dovecot-pop3d [23:33] !rar | tj83 [23:33] tj83: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [23:33] d0wn: you can set shell while adding a user like this: useradd -d /home/newuser -m -s /bin/bash newuser [23:34] Thanks funkyHat, and DataMatrix! It's fixed [23:34] I'll do that next time, DataMatrix. thanks [23:34] bastid_raZor, TY... already got it... just when i did apt-cache search rar it returned many many packages... had to sit and sift them... but thanks anyways [23:34] mich54: which command did you run that threw those errors ? any clues ? [23:35] glitsj16, well i have to be honest , i was installin a server on an old pc of mine , but the server kept showing an error while installin the applictions cz it asked me to insert the server's disk which was already in, so i canceled the applications installation [23:35] d0wn: note that useradd doesn't prompt you for password, you sould run passwd newuser to set password after creating the user [23:35] glitsj16, apt-get install proftpd [23:35] hi folks [23:35] Hi there ! I have a problem with my wireless network configuration: I have to enter the password each time I want to connect [23:35] Checking for Xgl: not present. [23:35] Found laptop using ati driver. [23:35] aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [23:35] glitsj16, apt-get install ntop [23:35] mich54: that could explain things yes [23:35] i got this when trying to start cpmpiz [23:35] DataMatrix: you really use use adduser instead [23:36] can you help? [23:36] it shows somethng like the hash of the key... using WPA and the regular network configuration [23:36] Pici: yes, i just couldn't remember the command [23:36] d0wn: adduser is a friendlier command for adding a user than useradd, it automatically does a bunch of stuff for you that's normal for a new user (like a home directry etc, and prompting you for a password [23:36] mich54: if you don't plan on installing dovecot, i'd suggest removing all related packages from your system, the errors should disappear with those [23:36] I got a firefox problem what just blew me off the chair - tables don't work as tables anymore, each cell has it's own height, like elements instead of cells arranged in columns [23:37] glitsj16, so i found someone on a forum saying that he had the same problems and all he did was "find -name dovecot" and rm everything related to it , then he managed to reinstall it, i tried it and still i can't reinstall it bcz of the same error [23:37] glitsj16, i can't even uninstall it [23:38] glitsj16, it's not like a plan of using it or not , um tryin to learn how to setup a server and to use these services [23:38] Has any one got an idea why firefox started working so strangely all of a sudden? [23:39] mich54: yes i understand, manually removing files related to dovecot could still keep the package manager confused though, my guess that is what is happening [23:39] whqats the matter with my atoi radeon 9100 directrendering is yes and i can play 3d games like counter strike or warsow [23:40] glitsj16, well ... i understand that , but i tried "apt-get remove dovecot" , and all i got was the same errors [23:40] your playing cs on ubuntu? [23:40] How do I set environment variables system wide (and so that python will pick them up in it's os module) [23:40] valdros: yep no problems since wine 1.0 and ati opensource driver, but i prefer nvidiqa [23:40] question, how come i keep getting * Restarting System Logger messages ? [23:40] glitsj16, is there a way to make the package manager not see it [23:40] on my terminal ? [23:41] need help anyone there [23:41] mich54: in synaptic i see several packages starting with the name dovecot, better try using synaptic, do a search on dovecot and try to remove those [23:41] the_wolf: man, if you could teach me how to do that, it would make my day [23:41] trying to install komodo onto my pc [23:41] i have wine, but i'll admit i'm a n00b at linux. [23:42] Hey there, I'm trying to install xmms using dpkg, but I get the error message "Package libglib1.2 is not installed.". However, I know for a fact that it IS installed. Can someone help me out? [23:42] there's no one in the komodo channels [23:42] and the forums are too slow [23:42] glitsj16, it's a server edition , i believe that synaptic is GUI , right ? [23:42] mich54: correct [23:42] leeping2008, verify. dpkg -l | grep libglib [23:43] has anyone here installed komodo before? [23:43] mich54: hang on, i'll check mine and report back with all related dovecot packages [23:43] glitsj16, thx a lot [23:43] libglib1.2-dbg, libglib1.2-dev, libglib1.2ldbl [23:43] unop, can I force the install if I wanted to? [23:43] leeping2008, from what you have there libglib1.2 is not installed [23:43] mich54: dovecot-common, dovecot-dev, dovecot-imapd and dovecot-pop3d [23:44] leeping2008, if you forced it, it wouldn't work properly [23:44] unop, I see. From my experience, usually programs ask for the packages that end in "dev", but in this case .. [23:44] unop, okay, I'll see if I can find a .deb package for libglib1.2. It isn't on the repository, afaik [23:44] valdros i have not much time, what for a graphics card do you have? [23:45] leeping2008, *-dev packages are not compiled libraries - they are just the headers you use for building stuff [23:45] glitsj16, i already tried everythin with common/imapd/pop3d [23:45] mich54: well i'm afraid i'm out of ideas here, sorry [23:46] unop, I see. If I need libglib1.2 and it isn't on the repository, where can I find it? [23:46] hello everybody, i cant boot the ubuntu install cd.I keep gettinh this error : Buffer I/0 on device fd0, logical block 0 [23:46] can someone help me with a firefox problem? [23:47] if you have 3d acceleration just download the newest steaminstaller msi from steampowered.com, then install wine: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine, then in the diretory where the msi file is type wine start SteamInstall.msi (or how its called) and the thing should run like in windows, perhaps a bit slower, but the game should ran fast [23:47] leeping2008, you're right, libglib1.2 isn't in the repos. I believe it's because it has been phased out (as is xmms) .. you could grab it off of http://packages.ubuntu.com but i wouldn't recommend it [23:47] glitsj16, well ... i tried "apt-get install dovecot-dev" knowing that it'll end up with the same errors ,and it did , but the weird thing is that "apt-get remove ...." is now working ! [23:48] mich54: progress heh :) [23:48] Hi. I have two computers at home. I would like to be able to allow one computer to see the other so that I can control the contents of any folder on that system. Specifically I would like to use my laptop to control the contents of my P3 Desktop that I use just as a mp3 station. Can someone tell me is this possible and where do I start looking into it? [23:48] not that I think it much matters, but what are the permissions supposed to be for /lib/firmware? I accidentally deleted mine... [23:48] unop, I really liked xmms. vlc has these intermittent popping noises, which I think is an issue with the player, I'd like to try xmms (which is what I used when I had dapper...) [23:48] someone just read me the line from ls -l or something [23:49] glitsj16, do i only need dovecot to run a mail server ? i mean i can install other services now , and then install it later or there's something else that depends on it ? [23:49] leeping2008, xmms is no longer supported by debian/ubuntu anymore [23:49] tilgovi: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K 2008-07-08 00:40 firmware [23:49] DataMatrix, thanks [23:49] tilgovi: 0755 [23:49] whileimhere: samba? [23:50] Samba? Is that what I should read about? [23:50] unop, darn .. I guess I won't be getting any support in my quest then :) [23:50] mich54: as far as i know no other packages depend on dovecot no, but to be honest that's because i'm not familiar with dovecot [23:51] yes samba is what you're looking fo [23:51] for* [23:51] hey all, I have a problem trying to print pictures I have set my custom page size but as all of my pictures are taken at a different aspect ratio it leaves white lines down the sides, is there a way to get the image to snap to the outside? [23:51] !samba | whileimhere [23:51] whileimhere: 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. [23:51] leeping2008, you might like aqualung .. it's somewhat like xmms [23:51] glitsj16 , well thanks a lot dude , u've been a wonderful help :) [23:52] mich54: very welcome, gdluck with the server :) [23:52] leeping2008: im using audacious [23:53] thanks for the advice :) Alternatives to xmms would be just as good as xmms itself... I wasn't too emotionally attached [23:53] Guys can You help me?:-( I got a problem with my wireless. I'm trying to run it in ad-hoc mode. In routing mode i seem to be connected but i dont have internet connection and i cant ping serwer despite the linux(client) and windows(servers) shows connection in tray. Windows-windows connection work without problems:( I am using ndiswrapper. Help me i really want to run that network with linux.When i try to configure it in manual way, (writ [23:53] how do i 'pause' or 'press any key to continue' in the terminal? [23:54] leeping2008: what was your reason to find something else? [23:54] slamFIST, xmms depends on libglib1.2, and Hardy doesn't have that package. [23:55] ooh [23:55] not supported, right [23:55] use audacious.. which is a fork of beep... which was a fork of xmms [23:55] nobody knows? [23:55] they look the same. [23:55] haha, thanks :) audacious does look like xmms .. thanks. [23:55] no worries dewd [23:56] Have a question... For some reason its not letting me share a folder. says i do not have root permission in the Gnome GUI [23:56] anyone know how hotswap sata? [23:56] Will Google Chrome be in any repo any time soon? Also, what GUI toolkit does it use? [23:57] koshari: do your drives/sata controller support this behavior? [23:57] ev0luti0nXtinct: use gksudo nautils [23:57] MindVirus: Seeing how theres no version for linux right now, not for a while [23:57] Pici, they have instructions for a build. [23:57] angusthefuzz it would appear not, however i beleive you can use scsiadd? [23:58] Pici, and do you know the answer to the second question? [23:58] Is anyone here good with "testdisk"? I can't get it to let me label a partition as "extended"--it only lets me use deleted, primary, or bootable. [23:58] koshari: sorry, i am not familiar with that [23:58] hmm [23:58] ok [23:58] let me try [23:59] Hi, got a problem here.
