| RYknow | Need some help getting my SATA drives to mount? Can anyone help? | 00:17 |
| kitche | mrkiko: the driver is called libata | 00:17 |
| Miyavix3 | Does anyone know a channel for networking problems? | 00:18 |
| mrkiko | kitche: ... but if I compile my vanilla kernel, I can see sata disk as /dev/sd? and ide ones as /dev/hd?, as it always has been | 00:18 |
| kitche | mrkiko: yes because you didn't enable libata which is the new driver, when you built your own kernel you used the older driver | 00:18 |
| k3rnelpanic | has anyone had problems downloading pkg files when upgrading to hardy from gutsy? i need 2 pkgs and they wont download, not even manually | 00:18 |
| mrkiko | kitche: ah ok... but will libata handle even old ide disks? | 00:19 |
| kitche | mrkiko: yes, just will name them /dev/sdX | 00:19 |
| mrkiko | kitche: thank you. Aniway what's the correct option' I can see libata loaded in my dmesg | 00:19 |
| mrkiko | and the ata_piix module I'm using is handling my sata disks using libata it seems | 00:20 |
| kitche | mrkiko: either way but soon the old way is actually being removed from the kernel | 00:20 |

| powertool08 | if a service is listed as running in runlevel 4 and 5 does that mean its started in 4, and a second instance is started in 5? | 00:24 |
| k3rnelpanic | oops i meant vinu76jsr not vindictive | 00:25 |
| k3rnelpanic | damn auto complete :P | 00:25 |
| Starnestommy | powertool08: that means that it starts if your system starts in runlevel 4 or runlevel 5 | 00:25 |
| powertool08 | or is it more like it runs only in the checked runlevels so if 2,3,4 are checked it starts it 2, runs in 3 and stops in 4? | 00:25 |
| Guest88090 | T2, yes that's usually the best way | 00:26 |
| mrkiko | kitche: I'll try it now | 00:26 |
| T2 | h4x0r: yes, still no sound is there packages that i may need to install like libasound or other prepacked programs in ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| k3rnelpanic | vinu76jsr: you still there? | 00:26 |
| vinu76jsr | @k3rnelpanic ya 683 kb | 00:26 |
| powertool08 | Starnestommy: so during bootup the service starts in 4, then the system goes to runlevel 5 and if the service is already running from 4 it does nothing, otherwise it starts it? | 00:26 |
| vinu76jsr | i m using kernel.org mirror | 00:27 |
| Starnestommy | powertool08: I think it might be stopped thenh started again | 00:27 |
| Starnestommy | *then | 00:27 |
| h4x0r | T2:Everything Should be working. | 00:27 |
| kitche | powertool08: starts in all of them starts in 2 starts in 3 starts in 4. the runlevels won't work unless you go to that runlevel with init | 00:27 |

| k3rnelpanic | K3rnel.panic@yahoo.com | 00:28 |
| powertool08 | Starnestommy: then why are things like kdm, klogd, hal checked in almost all runlevels? isn't that excessive stopping and starting? or is it to ensure its running no matter which runlevel you go to? | 00:29 |
| h4x0r | T2:system adminastration Hardware drivers | 00:29 |

| glitsj16 | noname12: you're welcome, something i've used on machines with poor or no connection, works great | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: You probably want to use "su -c" and "screen <command>" | 00:45 |
| rconan | histo, well as i have now learnt those files are ones which have been deleted but are still in use by a program. apparently fuse doesn't hide these from the user. lsof to find out which program then closing and restarting it has fixed the issue | 00:45 |
| Yancho | so there is no need to detach screen ? | 00:46 |

| Jordan_U | Yancho: Not quite, su -c takes the command to be run as a parameter, the same way screen is, so it should all be on one line | 00:49 |
| mrkiko | kexecking | 00:49 |
| vinu76jsr | ?????vmware for hardy????? | 00:49 |
| glitsj16 | noname12: they're at /var/cache/apt/archives | 00:49 |
| Yancho | su -c screen tracd -p 8000 --basic-auth=thesis,/usr/local/trac/thesis/.htpasswd,/usr/local/trac/thesis /usr/local/trac/thesis & <- like this? | 00:50 |
| Yancho | Jordan_U but that will start as user root not as user yancho no? | 00:50 |
| Falstaff_ | On another ubuntu system I found a program that allowed me to change the monitor settings I thinik it was some kindo of kde program ... can someone help me find the program again?? | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: You need to put quotes around the command so it doesn't interpret it as multiple arguments | 00:50 |
| ScheissDrogen | Falstaff: displayconfig-gtk | 00:51 |
| Yancho | ow great :) | 00:51 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: You can still pass another argument for the user to run it as | 00:51 |
| vinu76jsr | who was vinoo | 00:51 |
| Falstaff_ | Thank you very much!! | 00:51 |
| CaptainMorgan | how can I control temperatures? I ran top but it only showed me some programs there using at most 10% of the CPU... although my system was on all day, it was abnormally hot and I can't figure out why | 00:51 |
| ScheissDrogen | Falstaff: backup xorg.conf before using | 00:51 |
| Yancho | Jordan_U something like this ey : su -u yancho -c "screen tracd -p 8000 --basic-auth=thesis,/usr/local/trac/thesis/.htpasswd,/usr/local/trac/thesis /usr/local/trac/thesis &" ? | 00:52 |
| === gore_ is now known as goure | ||
| noname12 | glitsj16: Hmm... I only have 149 packages in that directory, hard to believe that's all I've installed or upgraded... Maybe I cleaned it at some point? (Does it ever get cleaned automatically?) | 00:52 |
| === Starnestommy is now known as sheep | ||
| Yancho | Jordan_U without the -u :) | 00:52 |
| ScheissDrogen | CaptainMorgan: install lmsensors, use conky | 00:52 |
| CaptainMorgan | lmsensors? | 00:52 |
| ScheissDrogen | CaptainMorgan: package to read from hw-chips | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: That looks close, I am not sure that the '&' will background the app since you are not passing the command to a shell but directly to screen, is there a reason for backgrounding the command? | 00:53 |
| glitsj16 | noname12: synaptic has a menu item to clean those out yes, i don't know for sure if apt does that automatically | 00:53 |
| Yancho | Jordan_U nope .. trying to remove it | 00:53 |
| CaptainMorgan | ScheissDrogen, synaptic is only showing me wmsensors.... should I install that? | 00:54 |
| k3rnelpanic | i love how you can upgrade your whole system while still using it :-D | 00:54 |
| Karkuk | Anyone here is familiar with unicode and iso's? | 00:55 |
| === Dedicated is now known as dedi_away | ||
| Yancho | Jordan_U i ran the script but it loaded the screen and did not detach .. should i do ; after the first command and then screen -d ? | 00:55 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | Karkuk | 00:55 |
| ubottu | Karkuk: 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? | 00:55 |
| ScheissDrogen | k3rnelpanic: what are you currently using ? hardy ? | 00:56 |
| glitsj16 | noname12: if the machine you're going to install the packages on is a different ubuntu version, there are other options, like uck (uck.sourceforge.net) to roll your own bootable liveCD with additional stuff you choose | 00:56 |
| CaptainMorgan | ScheissDrogen, synaptic is only showing me wmsensors.... should I install that? | 00:56 |
| vinu76jsr | vmware server or even vmware player for hardy**** where's the deb | 00:56 |
| zack1403 | hey all, is it possible for a bash script to provide input for a program? Ie, act as if I am typing a password and pressing enter | 00:56 |
| Karkuk | Basically my language has special charectors that are not for Linux all together. I was wondering if someone has some idea so that they can guide me where to start to encode my language so that it can be used for Linux | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: Just use screen -d to start it detached | 00:57 |
| ScheissDrogen | CaptainMorgan: lm-sensors | 00:57 |
| Bruners | this might not be a directly ubuntu question but here goes, im getting some wierd screen bugs on some pages and only when pagestyles is enabled, screenshot http://lasseb.tihlde.org/firefox.png . anything i can do to fix this? Firefox 3.0.1 & Ubuntu 4.2.3-2 | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: so screen -d <command> | 00:57 |
| ScheissDrogen | CaptainMorgan: see also : conky and gkrellm | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: Wait, nvm | 00:58 |

| Fused | Guys, I had Fluxbox 1.0.0-3 installed on my Ubuntu system. Well, I found out that Fluxbox has a newer version (1.1.0.1) and I downlaoded & installed it. Then I removed the 1.0.0-3 version. If I do "fluxbox -v", it shows that I have Fluxbox 1.1.0.1 properly installed; however, when I logout or restart to attempt to change my session to Fluxbox, it isn't in the list of available sessions. | 00:58 |
| Fused | Anyone know what to do from this point? | 00:58 |
| ScheissDrogen | CaptainMorgan: search adept looking up lm | 00:58 |
| kitche | Fused: make the fluxbox.xsession file most likely | 00:58 |
| Fused | How would I go about doing that, kitche? | 00:58 |
| jrib | Fused: there are directions in the fluxbox docs on their site | 00:58 |
| k3rnelpanic | ScheissDrogen: im currently on 7.10 gutsy upgrading as we speak to hardy | 00:58 |
| Yancho | Jordan_U -d is trying to reconnect with another | 00:58 |
| vinu76jsr | do do do - it | 00:59 |
| noname12 | glitsj16: Thanks. I have another system I need to install (that does have a good link), so I guess I'll use that for aptoncd. Thanks again! | 00:59 |
| k3rnelpanic | well its doing it, could of had this a week ago but those 2 damn pkgs wouldnt download. i was at nerves end | 00:59 |
| k3rnelpanic | lol | 00:59 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: Make that "screen -d -m <command>" | 00:59 |
| jrib | Fused: here you go: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/GDM | 00:59 |
| meoblast001 | ok.. i gave my friend an ubuntu disk that worked on my sisters computer.... and it says Invalid Disk on his computer | 01:00 |
| meoblast001 | wtf's up? | 01:00 |
| ScheissDrogen | k3rnelpanic: though there are working howtos, if you don't have a large amount of data with no way to backup (e.g. extra parti on large HD) i would prefer a fresh install, for apps see !cloning | 01:00 |
| jrib | meoblast001: did you run "verify the integrity of the cd" from the cd's boot menu? | 01:00 |
| vinu76jsr | meoblast : may be it's a different architecture | 01:00 |
| meoblast001 | vinu76jsr: he said he has intel | 01:00 |
| meoblast001 | this is i386 | 01:01 |
| Yancho | Jordan_U it didnt detach .. i ended up seeing the output | 01:01 |
| almostdvs | firefox does a search from my isp when something is typed into the location bar that is not an address. On windows it does an I'm feeling lucky search. How do i obtain the same functionality | 01:01 |
| td123 | meoblast001: that's not architecture, he means 32 or 64 bit... | 01:01 |
| meoblast001 | i gave him a 32 bit | 01:01 |
| vinu76jsr | kernelpanic : then i did something good today | 01:01 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: what is the exact command you are running now? | 01:01 |
| ScheissDrogen | meoblast001:did you/he used the self check option from cd bootup ?? | 01:01 |
| td123 | meoblast001: what kind of computer does your friend have? | 01:01 |
| vinu76jsr | i mean his architecture | 01:01 |
| k3rnelpanic | ScheissDrogen: yea i dont have much on my linux partition. its mainly in xp. so if it f's up no big loss | 01:01 |
| meoblast001 | td123: emachines | 01:01 |
| vinu76jsr | 32 64 sparc | 01:01 |
| ethana2 | every time i boot up, my system says something about my fs | 01:02 |
| ScheissDrogen | !cloning > k3rnelpanic | 01:02 |
| ethana2 | followed by 'not automatically fixing this' | 01:02 |
| Fused | Create the file: /etc/gdm/Sessions/fluxbox with contents: | 01:02 |
| Fused | There is no /etc/gdm/Sessions | 01:02 |
| meoblast001 | td123: the disc said 30 defective packages on my sisters computer but everything worked fine and there are no problems on her computer | 01:02 |
| jrib | ethana2: you need to write down the exact error message | 01:02 |
| Jordan_U | Fused: Is this a laptop? | 01:02 |
| jrib | ethana2: or take a picture | 01:02 |
| Fused | Desktop. | 01:02 |
| ethana2 | jrib: where's the boot log? | 01:02 |
| * ethana2 is looking through /var/log for it | 01:03 | |
| ScheissDrogen | k3rnelpanic: i would set up an extra parti for user data.. how big is your hd ? space for ubuntu ? | 01:03 |
| almostdvs | firefox does a search from my isp when something is typed into the location bar that is not an address. On windows it does an I'm feeling lucky search. How do i obtain the same functionality | 01:03 |
| Yancho | Jordan_U : su yancho -c "screen -d -m -S tracdimon; tracd -p 8000 --basic-auth=thesis,/usr/local/trac/thesis/.htpasswd,/usr/local/trac/thesis /usr/local/trac/thesis" | 01:03 |
| Schuenemann | hey, how do I get out of qemu's window after I click inside it? | 01:03 |
| td123 | meoblast001: ... it doesn't matter what you did, the problem is that it has 30 defective packages... and some other parts of the disk, (not packages) have been corrupt and are dangerous... you should throw that cd away and create one that has no errors | 01:03 |
| meoblast001 | td123: my CD burner broke | 01:04 |
| jrib | ethana2: check dmesg | 01:04 |
| meoblast001 | td123: how do i convert ppl to ubuntu now? | 01:04 |
| Yancho | Jordan_U foudn the problem .. the ; after tracdimon :) | 01:04 |
| td123 | meoblast001: then use windows till you can get one | 01:04 |
| ethana2 | jrib: how do i do that? | 01:04 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: No semicolon, the reason you are seeing the output is not because the screen is attached but because you aren't running the command in screen :) | 01:04 |
| k3rnelpanic | ScheissDrogen: yea, like i said i have hardly anything in ubuntu apart from like 4 songs and 3 photos but i understand what you're saying | 01:04 |
| meoblast001 | td123: i give up... ppl probably dont even want ubuntu anyways | 01:04 |
| Fused | jrib: /etc/gdm/Sessions doesn't exist as a directory, and that's where it's telling me to put the fluxbox file. | 01:04 |
| jrib | ethana2: type 'dmesg'. Check /var/log/messages too | 01:04 |
| ethana2 | k | 01:04 |
| Yancho | thanks alot for ur help Jordan_U :))) ill try to restart the pc to see if it works now | 01:04 |
| ScheissDrogen | k3rnelpanic: space for ubuntu ? | 01:04 |
| jrib | Fused: create it. If it doesn't work, then find out where the fluxbox in the repositories put its session file | 01:05 |
| Jordan_U | Yancho: np, it can be tricky stiringing commands together like that :) | 01:05 |
| td123 | meoblast001: do you even help them (support / resources) | 01:05 |
| almostdvs | meoblast001: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/08/27/create-a-bootable-usb-drive-or-memory-card/ | 01:05 |
| jrib | Fused: hint: /usr/share/xsessions/ | 01:05 |
| meoblast001 | lost my USB drive | 01:05 |
| meoblast001 | USB flash | 01:05 |
| meoblast001 | whatever its called | 01:05 |
| Fused | So I need to make one fluxbox.desktop | 01:06 |
| Fused | With the file contents on that page? | 01:06 |
| jrib | Fused: sure | 01:06 |
| k3rnelpanic | ScheissDrogen: 20gb or so | 01:06 |
| td123 | meoblast001: then just throw that cd away, and I would reinstall your sisters os because using a defective cd has soo much potential damage... (corrupt packages are the least of your worries) | 01:06 |
| vinu76jsr | anybody know vmware server for hardy | 01:06 |
| jrib | Fused: use the "There is another way" method | 01:07 |
| ScheissDrogen | k3rnelpanic: do a fresh install then | 01:07 |
| td123 | meoblast001: you should know these things before even laying a hand on another person's computer | 01:07 |
| vinu76jsr | ScheissDrogen : 1 | 01:07 |
| Karkuk | I cannot find my language script on any of Linux distribution and I would like to develop one. I am wondering if anyone has any idea on how to go on about this?! | 01:07 |
| k3rnelpanic | ScheissDrogen: its already upgrading | 01:07 |
| meoblast001 | td123: she needed the computer fixed immediately | 01:07 |
| ScheissDrogen | !grub > k3rnelpanic | 01:07 |
| meoblast001 | im having a terrible day | 01:08 |
| td123 | meoblast001: then your job is to get an uncorrupt cd | 01:08 |
| meoblast001 | td123: where | 01:08 |
| ethana2 | jrib: neither are showing me what I'm looking for | 01:08 |
| td123 | meoblast001: ask a friend if you can burn something... | 01:08 |
| meoblast001 | ted123: wait 3 fucking weeks for canonical? | 01:08 |
| jrib | ethana2: then just reboot and write it down | 01:08 |
| RYknow | Can someone help me out. I've got a strange problem with mounting my SATA drives. | 01:08 |
| ethana2 | it goes by too fast to even read it | 01:08 |
| jrib | meoblast001: you can buy one on amazon or ask your local LUG | 01:08 |
| Pici | meoblast001: No need for that language | 01:08 |
| ScheissDrogen | k3rnelpanic: already upgrading ? changed sources.list ? the f.. is you'll never can be 100% shure what is causing a prob... | 01:09 |
| Jordan_U | !ohmy | meoblast001 | 01:09 |
| ubottu | meoblast001: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:09 |
| RYknow | I've been able to get one of them to mount, but I can't get the second one to mount. | 01:09 |
| ethana2 | jrib: it's not logged anywhere? | 01:09 |
| ferran_ | Hi! can someone help me with an hdd problem?.... "can't read superblock" | 01:09 |
| meoblast001 | td123: "hey.. im gonna send you a 700 meg file and your gonna download it and burn it to a CD"... yeah.. that will work considering most of my friends dont like me that much | 01:09 |
| jrib | ethana2: those are the two places I know to look | 01:09 |
| meoblast001 | do i even have real friends | 01:09 |
| ethana2 | hmm | 01:09 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: poor | 01:09 |
| ethana2 | meoblast001: pay them | 01:09 |
| ethana2 | oh | 01:09 |
| jrib | ethana2: I think you can press the PAUSE|BREAK button on your keyboard | 01:09 |
| RYknow | I don't even know how I got it to mount. | 01:09 |
| ethana2 | hmmmm | 01:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | meoblast001: why can't you just download the Cd ? | 01:09 |
| td123 | meoblast001: then your job is to find some friends that will like you.... | 01:09 |
| ScheissDrogen | RYknow:paste output fdisk -l and your fstab | 01:09 |
| meoblast001 | IndyGunFreak: why cant i just download a CD burner | 01:10 |
| ScheissDrogen | paste | 01:10 |
| WDC | How do I connect a USB device in Vbox when it's grayed out? | 01:10 |
| Fused | Okay. I have the fluxbox.desktop in /usr/share/xsessions | 01:10 |
| Fused | Question, though. | 01:10 |
| jrib | meoblast001: find a friend with a cd burner or ask your local LUG | 01:10 |
| ferran_ | can someone help me with an hdd problem?.... "can't read superblock" | 01:10 |
| meoblast001 | LUG? | 01:10 |
| Fused | It has "/usr/bin/startfluxbox" in those contents, but there is no "startfluxbox" | 01:10 |
| meoblast001 | wth is a LUG? | 01:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | meoblast001: your local LUG is a good place to start | 01:10 |
| Jordan_U | meoblast001: Linux user group | 01:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | meoblast001: linux user group | 01:10 |
| Yancho | Jordan_U server restarted but it did not auto start :( however if i run the script it works | 01:10 |
| ethana2 | jrib: i know it has something to do with my filesystem-- and I have a GParted 0.3.7-7 LiveCD right here.... | 01:10 |
| meoblast001 | i'll ask my LoCo | 01:10 |
| td123 | meoblast001: you did not just say "why cant i just download a CD burner" omg, that's gotta be the stupidest thing you can say | 01:10 |
| jrib | meoblast001: sure | 01:10 |
| ScheissDrogen | ferran_: boot into live, make shure hd isn't mounted, see man e2fsck | 01:11 |
| Jordan_U | td123: It was a joke | 01:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | meoblast001: where do you live? | 01:11 |
| jrib | IndyGunFreak: scary :) | 01:11 |
| meoblast001 | IndyGunFreak: ohio | 01:11 |
| Fused | jrib: Do you know how to fix that issue? | 01:11 |
| td123 | meoblast001: you don't know it yet, but your quote is tomarrow's digg head line | 01:11 |
| usser | td123, actually its not, as the old saying goes any hardware can be emulated by software and vice versa | 01:11 |
| meoblast001 | im not telling you anymore | 01:11 |
| almostdvs | firefox does a search from my isp when something is typed into the location bar that is not an address. On windows it does an I'm feeling lucky search. How do i obtain the same functionality | 01:11 |
| meoblast001 | td123: what quote? | 01:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | meoblast001: you should have a local lug there. | 01:11 |
| td123 | meoblast001: why cant i just download a CD burner | 01:11 |
| jrib | Fused: edit it. It's leftover from the repository's version of fluxbox because you didn't purge it | 01:11 |
| ethana2 | almostdvs: i have a friend with the same problem | 01:12 |
| * IndyGunFreak thought everybody had at least a CD burner nowdays | 01:12 | |
| td123 | usser: I don't think you understand the context | 01:12 |
| ScheissDrogen | meoablast: seee !usb for an adventure... | 01:12 |
| meoblast001 | td123: yay.. at least a website will love me for a day | 01:12 |
| Fused | Edit what? | 01:12 |
| Fused | There's no startfluxbox in /usr/bin/ | 01:12 |
| Fused | but there is a startfluxbox in /usr/local/bin/ | 01:12 |
| mrkiko | And after some troubles with disk mappings, I'm back again | 01:13 |
| Fused | Should I just change it to go there instead? | 01:13 |
| jrib | Fused: exactly | 01:13 |
| kitche | Fused: yep | 01:13 |
| Fused | Okay. | 01:13 |
| vinu76jsr | almostdvs: its doing same in linux | 01:13 |
| k3rnelpanic | ScheissDrogen: 2 files didnt download during upgrade for whatever reason. everything else dl'ed fine. i tried different pkgs and they downloaded no problem. i have no idea why that happened, do you? | 01:13 |
| usser | td123, nope no context our prof presented it as an absolute truth... i was being ironic though nvm | 01:13 |
| DOT3CH | anyone familiar with using the screenlet manager? | 01:13 |
| mrkiko | kitche: thank for your help. How did you learn the libata fact? | 01:13 |
| Jordan_U | td123: I think you are the one who does not understand the context actually... | 01:13 |
| almostdvs | vinu76jsr: it does an i'm feeling lucky search for you? | 01:13 |
| k3rnelpanic | ScheissDrogen: i'll try to download them again just to see if its different, i think it was my connection for some reason cause they didnt download not even in xp | 01:13 |
| td123 | meoblast001: ok so here's the summary of what you have to do, get an ubuntu cd (not corrupt) and use it. If you don't have friends get some, if that fails, find a lug, if the lug dislikes you also, install windows and tattoo "FAIL" on your forehead | 01:13 |
| Fused | Okay. Edited. | 01:14 |
| vinu76jsr | almostdvs : ya | 01:14 |
| meoblast001 | td123: my mom said she'd try to sneak a CD burner from work to borrow | 01:14 |
| Fused | So now it should work properly, correct? | 01:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | meoblast001: PM me your address(if you're comfortable), i'll drop you a CD in the mail tomorrow. | 01:14 |
| vinu76jsr | but as you know there nmust be a space in your search | 01:14 |
| kitche | mrkiko: umm it's pretty well known definitely to the people that actually used/work on a Linux Distro | 01:14 |
| ScheissDrogen | k3rnelpanic: changed sources.list ? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:14 |
| td123 | Jordan_U: how do I not understand the context of my conversation with meoblast001 | 01:14 |
| meoblast001 | ok | 01:14 |
| meoblast001 | i win | 01:14 |
| BAD^man^ | hello | 01:15 |
| meoblast001 | my moms coworker who uses the cd burner never even uses the cd burner | 01:15 |
| td123 | meoblast001: yes, yes you do, now finish your cookie | 01:15 |
| BAD^man^ | can anyone tell how to mount a vista partiion please for a laptop?? | 01:15 |
| mrkiko | kitche: Oh... I try to read and inform myself more as possible on the kernel, since I'm interested on it, but I never knew this fact.. | 01:15 |
| meoblast001 | ok that was worded weird | 01:15 |
| meoblast001 | but the CD burner should be attatched to my moms coworkers computer | 01:15 |
| vinu76jsr | in ubuntu it is automounted after a clean shutdown | 01:15 |
| k3rnelpanic | ScheissDrogen: i tried to download them manually from here http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/usplash-theme-ubuntu/download and here http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/brasero/download and no go | 01:15 |
| meoblast001 | and its not even plugged in | 01:15 |
| sepilko | kuko | 01:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | meoblast001: well, if it doesn't work out,t he offer stands | 01:15 |
| k3rnelpanic | in both ubuntu and xp | 01:15 |
| almostdvs | vinu76jsr: that's odd, mine still does an isp search. people keep saying it's my isp's fault but it doesn't do this in windows | 01:16 |
| usser | BAD^man^, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/<part_name> /mountpoint | 01:16 |
| Jordan_U | td123: <IndyGunFreak> meoblast001: why can't you just download the Cd ? <meoblast001> IndyGunFreak: why cant i just download a CD burner | 01:16 |
| meoblast001 | IndyGunFreak: i dont need more ppl tapping on my windows | 01:16 |

| MasterFruityLoop | tico: send it to me, privately. | 01:45 |
| zhaowm | chmod 777? | 01:45 |
| Fused | I'm just trying to figure out why it will not work. | 01:45 |
| timma | jrib yes | 01:45 |
| Lanlost | I've had this problem for like 3 days now... I'm using the disk usage analyzer.. but none of it makes any sense to me.. | 01:45 |
| Fused | MasterFruityLoop: The 'startx -- :1' | 01:45 |
| Fused | didn't work | 01:45 |
| Jordan_U | timma: Ok, that is very bad | 01:45 |
| jrib | Fused: I can't help you if I don't see your responses | 01:45 |
| Fused | er *jrib | 01:45 |
| Lanlost | I mean.. I understand what it is showing and everything.. but the information it gives isn't correct.. | 01:45 |
| Fused | Sorry, jrib. | 01:46 |
| zhaowm | jrib,may I make friend with you | 01:46 |
| jrib | Fused: yes, but you said it gave you errors. What are they? | 01:46 |
| timma | Jordan_U what part? | 01:46 |
| Lanlost | It says / is 100% used.. but it includes /usr and /home and stuff under that.. which I have mounted to different partitions | 01:46 |
| Lanlost | I'm just so confused.. I haven't added any software for probably a week.. haven't installed any new hardware or anything | 01:46 |
| Jordan_U | timma: / should not be writable by all users, it is a huge security vulnerability | 01:46 |
| yanghongchao | 什么LINUX学习好呢？ | 01:46 |

| b3z3rk3r | what u need help with ircleuser? | 01:49 |
| Fused | jrib: That's all that I can see it erroring with. | 01:49 |
| jStefan | zhaowm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zh | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | Spacy: Yes | 01:49 |
| lenswipe | I cant get tilda to work | 01:49 |
| moosen | it happens when the player is used to play mp3s or when it plays videos, and whenever it is embedded in a browser | 01:49 |

| IMTheNachoMan | someone told me of an app to try on the ubuntu cd to see to check cpu fan usage and all that for my macbook pro...anyone remember it? | 01:49 |
| lenswipe | it wont take focus when it comes up | 01:49 |
| ircleuser | Installin ubuntu and i hasd windows on my drive before | 01:49 |
| lenswipe | anyone knkow how to do that? | 01:49 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: Missed my last message? Or no clue? ;) | 01:50 |
| b3z3rk3r | ircleuser: what version? | 01:50 |
| ircleuser | as well as various data with ntfs format | 01:50 |
| zhaowm | ? | 01:50 |
| ircleuser | id like to avoid losing that data | 01:50 |
| ^paradox^ | i need some serious help | 01:50 |
| bastid_raZor | IMTheNachoMan; lmsensors maybe? | 01:50 |
| moosen | also, sometimes restarting the xserver with ctrl-alt-backspace will sometimes cause n unresponsive blackscreen instead of bringing up GDM | 01:50 |
| jrib | moosen:I usually blame video drivers for that. Which one are you using? | 01:50 |
| meoblast001 | why cant i force an earlier version of kdenlive? | 01:50 |
| ircleuser | im at the point now where i select how to partition the drive(s) | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | Spacy: It's really odd, can you try in dash? | 01:51 |
| Fused | Can I just do "nano startfluxbox" and change the "/usr/bin/fluxbox" to "/usr/local/bin/fluxbox"? | 01:51 |
| Fused | jrib: Can I just do "nano startfluxbox" and change the "/usr/bin/fluxbox" to "/usr/local/bin/fluxbox"?* | 01:51 |
| ircleuser | i have 2 drives | 01:51 |
| ^paradox^ | im using xubuntu desktop and ive managed to remove my applications menu from the top panel. how do i put it back? | 01:51 |
| ircleuser | right | 01:51 |
| jrib | Fused: you compiled it wrong if that's the case | 01:51 |
| Fused | Keep forgetting to mention your name with it. | 01:51 |
| Fused | So I should reinstall it again? | 01:51 |
| zhaowm | sorry,but i like here.one,I can learn about ubuntu,other, I can study english | 01:51 |
| ircleuser | i have 2 but theres programs and documents on both | 01:52 |
| jrib | Fused: you're sure 'startfluxbox' from the repositories is gone right? | 01:52 |
| IMTheNachoMan | bastid_raZor: thanks..il try that | 01:52 |
| ircleuser | i want to get rid of my windows installation | 01:52 |
| Fused | jrib: I didn't get this version from the Ubuntu repository. It came straight from http://www.fluxbox.org/download | 01:52 |
| ircleuser | its damaged | 01:52 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, congrats | 01:52 |
| jrib | Fused: yes, I know. But is startfluxbox leftover from before? | 01:52 |
| ircleuser | but i have documents and programs i wanna save | 01:52 |
| Fused | Not that I know of. | 01:53 |
| ircleuser | any way to do that | 01:53 |
| ircleuser | ? | 01:53 |
| Jordan_U | Spacy: I see you tried ./skype so it shouldn't matter, but what is in your PATH ? | 01:53 |
| Fused | It could be.. but I don't think so.. | 01:53 |
| jrib | Fused: does there exist one in /usr/bin/? | 01:53 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, can't you copy them? | 01:53 |
| Fused | No. | 01:53 |
| abarber | I ran a program with the --fullscreen parameter, and it doesn't fit right on the screen, what paramaters can I use to stop it from doing this | 01:53 |
| ^paradox^ | anyway to put it back | 01:53 |
| ircleuser | i cant boot using windows | 01:53 |
| ^paradox^ | ? | 01:53 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, you can mount its partition in linux and then copy the stuff you need | 01:54 |
| Fused | jrib: No, there is only one in /usr/local/bin. | 01:54 |
| ircleuser | do i just have to give up on one partition? | 01:54 |
| b3z3rk3r | so u want to use an ubuntu disk to boot, so u cant rescue your files ircleuser? | 01:54 |
| doggymenz | when is alpha5 announced? | 01:54 |
| jrib | Fused: try moving the ~/.fluxbox to ~/.fluxbox.old and see if it still happens. If it does, there's something up with your compile | 01:54 |
| AliAkgun | Can you explain me logic how must I install SpamAssassin smtpgateway in windows Exchange network. | 01:54 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: Basically same result in dash "Not found" - ls works ok. - even though it should not matter: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin | 01:54 |
| ircleuser | erm | 01:54 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, by give up you mean erase the partition? | 01:54 |
| jrib | AliAkgun: where is ubuntu? | 01:54 |
| ircleuser | i want to stop using windows all together | 01:54 |
| ircleuser | but the documents on there i would like to save | 01:55 |
| AliAkgun | smtpgateway will be | 01:55 |
| moosen | jrib: http://pastie.org/266380 this is my xserver listing, and under the device section it says "Configured Video Device" which is a little confusing to me. The card is an integrated intel 855GM, and the video modules I see loaded are intel_agp and agpart | 01:55 |
| ircleuser | and open using wine | 01:55 |
| Jordan_U | Spacy: That is truly bizarre | 01:55 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, so, you have to mount its partition in linux and then copy the files | 01:55 |
| Bogus8 | is it possible that an update to perl would screw up my irssi scripts? this is all via apt? | 01:55 |
| Fused | Okay, jrib, Let me attempt it again. | 01:55 |
| jrib | moosen: don't know then. You can check ~/.xsession-errors | 01:55 |
| methods | how do i change settings like the timeout for my screen going darker on my latop ? | 01:55 |
| Jordan_U | Spacy: Side effect of a rootkit possibly? | 01:55 |
| Fused | Thank you, jrib. | 01:56 |
| jrib | methods: system -> preferences -> power management | 01:56 |
| Fused | It works now. | 01:56 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: Thank you - I even thought i had unlearned 15years of linux use (cause of too much j2ee coding recently ;)) | 01:56 |
| jrib | Fused: oh, ok cool :) | 01:56 |
| Fused | Be right back. Thank again, jrib. | 01:56 |
| ircleuser | schuenemon how do i do that without erasing the partition to install windows | 01:56 |
| moosen | hmm, jrib, this is interesting: I also have the i915 module running, though it's a intel 855GM | 01:56 |
| moosen | jrib: I'll check it out | 01:57 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, check if isn't already mounted at /media | 01:57 |
| methods | does suspend constitute powering down ? | 01:57 |
| user_ | Hey | 01:57 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: That was the first thing that came to my mind, too. But 1st it did run some hours ago - 2nd im sitting behind a ubuntu firewall server so that's somewhat unlikely | 01:57 |
| ircleuser | by booting from the hard drive? | 01:57 |
| user_ | Where are all the programs stored? | 01:57 |
| user_ | I mean all the applications | 01:57 |
| user_ | Like, in windows there is Program Files? | 01:58 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, no, use nautilus and open /media | 01:58 |
| Fused | Sweet. | 01:58 |
| ircleuser | do i need to download nautalis first then | 01:58 |
| ircleuser | ? | 01:58 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, what OS are you using now? | 01:58 |
| ircleuser | none | 01:59 |
| methods | jrib: isn't there a better power manager... i forget hte name of it | 01:59 |
| ircleuser | i had windows | 01:59 |
| Schuenemann | then how are you talking here? | 01:59 |
| ircleuser | i dont knoow how it happened | 01:59 |
| jrib | methods: not that I know of | 01:59 |
| ircleuser | on another comp | 01:59 |
| Schuenemann | and you have ubuntu on your comp? | 01:59 |
| ircleuser | different computers (mac OSX) | 01:59 |
| ircleuser | i have ubuntu on a boot disk in my comp that had windows but can no longer boot using windows | 02:00 |
| methods | dude my desktop keeps crashing using the live cd is this normal ? | 02:00 |
| methods | i think it might be nx client | 02:00 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, you mean you have a ubuntu live cd? | 02:00 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: And i guess a rootkit wouldn't block skype and leave everything else i tried till now untouched | 02:00 |
| ircleuser | not sure | 02:01 |
| ircleuser | new to linux | 02:01 |
| user_ | Where are all the programs stored like Rhythmbox etc... like in windows there is Program Files? | 02:01 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, what do you mean by "boot disk" ? | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | Spacy: It might, there might be a bug in whatever modification the rootkit made to hide its files | 02:01 |
| ircleuser | its an iso i downloaded to install ubuntu | 02:01 |
| ircleuser | and burnt to a cd | 02:01 |
| Schuenemann | is it on a cd? | 02:01 |
| ircleuser | yes | 02:01 |
| Schuenemann | yes, that's a live cd | 02:01 |
| ircleuser | ok | 02:02 |
| jStefan | ircleuser, did you try taking the cd out? | 02:02 |
| cort | Does anyone know where I can get some help with Thunderbird? I can't remember my gmail account which I am connecting to through thunderbird via IMAP. For whatever reason the IMAP part lost the password but the SMTP part didn't so I can send mail through my gmail in thunderbird but I can't receive it. Is there a way to view the saved passwords in thunderbird? | 02:02 |
| Schuenemann | so, you want to erase windows and install ubuntu, but you want to copy your files before doing that? | 02:02 |
| ircleuser | boot cd is windows lingo for a cd that the computer uses to start | 02:02 |
| ircleuser | correct | 02:02 |
| ircleuser | can it be done? | 02:02 |
| Schuenemann | well, yes... | 02:02 |
| cilkay | cort: No, there isn't. Just change your Gmail password using your browser. | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | Spacy: Have you tried chckrootkit just in case? | 02:03 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: Hm you're right - any good recommendation for a scanning tool? | 02:03 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, I would use the livecd to boot ubuntu, then copy the files to a pendrive and then erase windows' partiton | 02:03 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: nope not yet - will do in a moment | 02:03 |
| cort | cilkay: I would if I could remember it :) catch 22 | 02:03 |
| kindofabuzz | rkhunter or chkrootkit | 02:03 |
| Schuenemann | are there too many files? | 02:03 |
| thorny_sun | is there a faster way to do this:? 'cp blah.txt blah/blah/blah/blah/blah.txt; cd blah/blah/blah/blah' ? i.e. is there some quick way to cd down into the directory you just copied to? | 02:03 |
| ircleuser | one drive has 32 GB taken and the other 24 | 02:04 |
| ircleuser | what do you mean pen drive? | 02:04 |
| Schuenemann | USB flash drive | 02:04 |
| ircleuser | oh | 02:04 |
| Schuenemann | or stick, or whatever it's called where you live | 02:04 |
| ircleuser | then yes theres too many files | 02:04 |
| cilkay | cort: Let me guess, you don't have another email address associated with your Gmail account so you can't do a password reset either. If so, in the very unlikely event Google will reset the password for you, you're stuck. You might to try hypnosis. :) | 02:04 |
| Pici | thorny_sun: not really... but remember that tab-complete works on the terminal, it makes things a lot faster | 02:05 |
| jStefan | ircleuser, Schuenemann: or a removable USB hard drive? | 02:05 |
| Schuenemann | jStefan, or data traveler | 02:05 |
| ircleuser | i think i have an option | 02:05 |
| thorny_sun | Pici: thanks-- was hoping for something faster than tab complete-- guess i could always create my own command that does both at once.. | 02:05 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, if you can copy them all to your usb stick, then it's done | 02:05 |
| ircleuser | i have 2 hard drives and an enclosure | 02:05 |
| Schuenemann | what does the second HD have? | 02:06 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: nothing found | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | thorny_sun: cd $(dirname $_) | 02:06 |
| cort | cilkay: I do but for what ever reason that email address is not receiving emails. It's a redirect to a work account. I was just hoping there was a quick fix to this mess. Like viewing saved passwords in Firefox | 02:06 |
| hedgie | hey, how can i search everywhere includeing within achieves? | 02:06 |
| ircleuser | the primary has windows on it and more files than the second | 02:06 |
| timma | oh.....! I just. You make me realize, Jordan_U. Should I do a chmod 755 or 744 ? | 02:06 |
| Caplain | hi | 02:06 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, the 2nd doesn't have any OS installed? | 02:06 |
| ircleuser | thats righty | 02:07 |
| ircleuser | right** | 02:07 |
| Schuenemann | then you can copy things to the 2nd | 02:07 |
| taishi28012 | I'm having a problem setting up mpd/ncmpc. I run "mpd --create-db" and it all goes good but when I fire up ncmpc there is nothing in the browse buffer. | 02:07 |
| ircleuser | cant boot using the windows installation | 02:07 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, you boot using ubuntu cd | 02:08 |
| ircleuser | is that in the first menu on the disk? | 02:08 |
| Schuenemann | I think yes | 02:08 |
| ircleuser | ok | 02:08 |
| Schuenemann | start or install, something like that | 02:08 |
| ircleuser | im gonna go try that | 02:09 |
| ircleuser | ill be back if it doesnt happen | 02:09 |
| cilkay | cort: I've never seen such an option. The only thing that lets me see saved passwords is KWallet, which itself is password protected. The password reset email might be caught by your spam filter at work and ending up in a spam box somewhere. | 02:09 |
| thorny_sun | Jordan_U: thanks!! that's a good idea!! didn't realize about $_ | 02:09 |
| Jordan_U | thorny_sun: np | 02:09 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, is the 2nd comp next to you too? | 02:09 |
| cort | cilkay: I thought so but the setup for me lets pretty much everything through. I'll have the sys admin check in the morning. Is KWallet like password safe? | 02:11 |
| Lollipopz | mkdir for folder | 02:11 |
| Lollipopz | and for files? | 02:11 |
| Lollipopz | please : ) | 02:11 |
| Spacy | no kernel or bash hackerz here? xD | 02:11 |
| jrib | Lollipopz: touch | 02:12 |
| Lollipopz | yay thanks jrib! | 02:12 |
| Babam | I have an Q: My LiveCD has a file error, and is failing at 54% of the install, I was wondering if it was possible to run a install from within in the LiveDisk, but not using the live disk, but a installer saved to the hard disk. | 02:12 |
| cilkay | cort: You wouldn't know what isn't getting through, would you? Password reset emails look an awful lot like spam or a phishing attempt to dumb spam filters. KWallet is a means of storing passwords in a supposedly secure fashion in KDE. | 02:13 |
| Jordan_U | Spacy: Might try ##linux | 02:13 |
| Babam | Any one? | 02:14 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: Whow you can read my mind ;) was about to ask for other server/channels :) haven't been on the irc for quite some time | 02:14 |
| jws | hello. trying to change fonts in eterm. eterm*font: doesnt work in xdefaults, just woundering if they is another alias | 02:14 |
| jStefan | Babam, are you installing using wubi? | 02:15 |
| Babam | @j: No, it's a fresh slate HDD , live disk is 8.04, it has a disk error, so if fails at 54% install, I was wondering if it was possible to run a installer stored on the HDD from with in the liveCD shell | 02:16 |
| ircleuser | ok | 02:17 |
| ircleuser | cant find how to boot from cd | 02:17 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, what happened | 02:17 |
| ircleuser | would that be mount and execute cd rom? | 02:17 |
| Schuenemann | did you boot from cd? you have to restart your machine for that | 02:17 |
| ircleuser | there doesnt seem to be an option to boot from cd without installing ubuntu | 02:18 |
| Babam | jStefan: Did you get all that? | 02:18 |
| jStefan | Babam, don't know how to help you. But if you already have the iso download, I suggest burining again, and try using validation if your burning software supports it | 02:18 |
| Babam | oh | 02:18 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, it should be the first... did you try it? | 02:18 |
| ircleuser | first is install ubunto | 02:18 |
| jStefan | Babam, a blank cd isn't too expensive these days :P | 02:18 |
| Babam | Well the iso happens to be gone, graah gonna have to re download it | 02:18 |
| ircleuser | ubuntu** | 02:18 |
| jrgp | my installer is stuck on creating ext3 file system for /, what do I do? I've got really important stuff on other partitions in that drive. | 02:18 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, I think that is both start and install. Try it | 02:18 |
| ircleuser | ok | 02:19 |
| ircleuser | i got there | 02:19 |
| Babam | <-- 15, no income, going to try Re Writing the disk (yay for RW's!) | 02:19 |
| Schuenemann | there where? | 02:19 |
| amenado | jrgp-> you did make a backup before doing this thing right? | 02:19 |
| branigin | can somebody help me get xubuntu 8.10 alpha to stop saving sessions | 02:19 |
| ircleuser | then it started continuing install | 02:19 |
| ircleuser | so i went to the main menu | 02:19 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jrgp: it can take some time, especially if you're resizing another partition to make room | 02:20 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, so it started ubuntu? | 02:20 |
| ircleuser | and followed the option "execute and mount cdrom" | 02:20 |
| jrgp | it has 2 partitions (/ and /home), the latter is huge, I'm deleting the former and creating two partitions in its place | 02:20 |
| ircleuser | it started the installation process yes | 02:20 |
| jStefan | !intrepid | branigin | 02:20 |
| ubottu | branigin: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! | 02:20 |

| Schuenemann | ircleuser, did it open ubuntu with an interface similar to windows? | 02:20 |
| ircleuser | yeah | 02:21 |
| user_ | Hey | 02:21 |
| ircleuser | blue red and grey you mean? | 02:21 |
| user_ | Does anybody know how to make it so that at the top panel on the left it will say which program is active now like in Mac OS X? Like, if I am running pidgin, to say at the top left Pidgin? | 02:21 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, I don't remember the colours exacly, but it shows the time on the right side, has a "start" menu, etc? | 02:21 |
| christoz | what is the name of the "adobe pdf viewer" package? | 02:21 |
| user_ | I saw it that they do it in themes, but I have no idea how :p | 02:21 |
| ircleuser | Schueneman:erm | 02:22 |
| ircleuser | no | 02:22 |
| christoz | !adobe | 02:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about adobe | 02:22 |
| jStefan | 02:22 | |
| ubottu | pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 02:22 |
| timma | Jordan_U sorry. what should I do? | 02:22 |
| updates | Question: I use Xinerama in xorg.conf. I use 3 monitors and all Screen01, Screen02 RightOf Screen01 and Screen03 RightOf Screen02. When I move th cursor from Screen01 to Screen03, it's ok but cursor won't go back to Screen01, just Screen02 and 03. Anyway please? | 02:22 |
| ircleuser | its a lot more like DOS with colors | 02:22 |
| christoz | :D | 02:22 |
| user_ | lol :p | 02:22 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, it's hard to say something without seeing... what was written on the screen? | 02:22 |
| methods | this middle mouse button on my laptop has 4 way switch how can i remap what the buttons do ? | 02:22 |
| ircleuser | at the begining? | 02:23 |
| computer | what is a good pdf editor? | 02:23 |
| Schuenemann | after you chose install ubuntu, what happened exacly? | 02:23 |
| Jordan_U | timma: Did you only change the permissions on / or did you change them recursively? | 02:23 |
| Schuenemann | I think it should start ubuntu with a GUI | 02:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | updates: can you set a screen as left of another screen? | 02:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | perhaps having the primary monitor in the middle would help eliminate the issues, since after going from 2 to 3 it appears to forget there's a 1 | 02:24 |
| timma | Jordan_U "sudo chown 744 /" now my problem is the "bash: /usr/bin/sudo: Permission denied" | 02:24 |
| ircleuser | have you installed windows before where you need to format a partition and its all kinda bluescreen-esque | 02:24 |
| drksoft | m | 02:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Schuenemann: sounds like he grabbed the alternate install cd rather than the livecd | 02:25 |
| Schuenemann | Daisuke_Ido, oh... I never used that one | 02:25 |
| ircleuser | i think thats right | 02:25 |
| Schuenemann | Daisuke_Ido, is the alternated cd bootable? | 02:26 |
| ircleuser | so if i get a live cd i can boot to a desktop and move all my data without formatting | 02:26 |
| Schuenemann | alternate* | 02:26 |
| timma | Jordan_U I will have to restart in system rescue or something. | 02:26 |
| timma | back in ten | 02:26 |
| ScheissDrogen | Schuenemann:shure | 02:27 |
| Jordan_U | timma: If you only changed the permissions for / then just "sudo chmod 0755 /", if you changed them recursively, re-install | 02:27 |
| ScheissDrogen | !alternate > Schuenemann | 02:27 |
| ubottu | Schuenemann, please see my private message | 02:27 |
| Schuenemann | ScheissDrogen, I mean can you start ubuntu with it? | 02:27 |
| Drako_m | anyone with a blackberry and use it as bt modem? | 02:27 |
| Schuenemann | oh... it's text-mode | 02:27 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, I guess you'll have to download and burn the livecd | 02:28 |
| ircleuser | ok | 02:28 |
| ircleuser | \whre | 02:28 |
| ircleuser | where can i get that? | 02:28 |
| ScheissDrogen | Schuenemann: also , but the repair options of the standard Installer i like better... shot grub ? | 02:28 |
| usser | Jordan_U, cant u boot into live cd and chroot | 02:28 |
| Schuenemann | ScheissDrogen, not me, he screwed up his windows and wants to save files before installing ubuntu | 02:29 |
| Spacy | Jordan_U: a quick question - i've downgraded libasound2 to install libasound2-dev to compile kvm+qemu - to exclude that change from being relevant to my problem, i'd like to reinstall the newest version of libasound2, but apt-get install tells me, i've already got the newest one? is 1.0.15-3ubuntu4 really it? (dpkg -l) | 02:29 |
| ScheissDrogen | Schuenemann: for that the alternate does fine, too | 02:29 |
| Schuenemann | ScheissDrogen, but with no GUI? | 02:29 |
| ircleuser | ill just get a live cd | 02:30 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 02:30 |
| Syco54645_AAO | casao: you around? | 02:30 |
| ircleuser | where can i download one fastest? | 02:30 |
| ircleuser | k | 02:30 |
| casao | Syco54645_AAO: yes | 02:30 |
| AgentZed | Hi folks, I'm about to install Ubuntu 8.04, but I have a wee question. I have 3 hard drives in my PC, sdb and sdc are RAID'd together and are full of very important things, while sda is separate from the RAID and currently blank. I want to install onto sda, but when I select 'New partition table' it tells me 'If you procede with creating a new partition table on the device, then all current partitions will be removed'. I just want to be absolutely cert | 02:30 |
| AgentZed | rring to the blank drive, and isn't including the other two drives under the umbrella of 'all partitions'. | 02:30 |
| ScheissDrogen | Schuenemann: thats your decision, wherever use a terminal or a gui | 02:30 |
| Syco54645_AAO | casao: incoming pm | 02:30 |
| Schuenemann | ScheissDrogen, can the alternate use a GUI (nautilus, for example) without installing? | 02:31 |
| ircleuser | OOOHHHH | 02:31 |
| ircleuser | ive been here | 02:31 |
| ircleuser | i cecked the box | 02:31 |
| ScheissDrogen | Schuenemann: yes | 02:31 |
| ircleuser | ok | 02:31 |
| Schuenemann | ScheissDrogen, how can he do t hat? | 02:32 |
| ScheissDrogen | AgentZed:simply unplug the full ones.. lol 200% shure | 02:32 |
| Pici | Schuenemann: The alternate CD is not a LiveCD. | 02:32 |
| musikgoat | AgentZed: ^^ agreed | 02:32 |
| ircleuser | right | 02:32 |
| ircleuser | ok | 02:32 |
| Schuenemann | Pici, so he cannot do it? | 02:32 |
| ircleuser | so i download that | 02:32 |
| musikgoat | AgentZed: you can also look at first detected in bios | 02:32 |
| ircleuser | burn it to CD | 02:32 |
| Pici | Schuenemann: Correct. | 02:32 |
| ircleuser | and boot up form there | 02:33 |
| Schuenemann | ircleuser, yes, but do not check that box | 02:33 |
| ircleuser | then i can transfer all my windows data to one drive? | 02:33 |
| ircleuser | great | 02:33 |
| Schuenemann | yes, exacly | 02:33 |
| timma | okay Jordan_U what is your solution? I did "sudo chown 755 /" | 02:33 |
| ircleuser | ive been meaning to switch to an open source os for years | 02:34 |
| Schuenemann | you'd better come here when you have it burnt | 02:34 |
| AgentZed | Well, the other two HDs have Windoze installed on them, so I need them plugged in for Grub to get set up properly. I think. | 02:34 |
| Jordan_U | timma: Did you only change / or did you do a recursive change ( when you first changed it to world writable ) ? | 02:34 |
| ScheissDrogen | ircleuser:for pure live - cds knoppix is very handy | 02:35 |
| Jordan_U | Spacy: Yes, that's the newest version | 02:35 |
| ircleuser | ok | 02:35 |
| komputes | ScheissDrogen: what do you mean by "pure" ? | 02:35 |
| ircleuser | so i use the knoppix to save data and the alternate to install later? | 02:36 |
| timma | Jordan_U only / | 02:36 |
| timma | Jordan_U I did 744 at first and everything slowly stopped working | 02:36 |
| Aquahallic | Evenin' folks | 02:37 |
| ircleuser | by pure live you mean it is live cd only right? | 02:37 |
| ircleuser | on knoppix? | 02:37 |
| Aquahallic | if I have a drive in a machine and I'm not sure what filesystem is on it.. what's the easiest way to determine this via CLI?? | 02:37 |
| Schuenemann | knoppix can be installed too | 02:37 |
| ScheissDrogen | komputes: I found it to often have even bigger hardwaresupport out of the box , and yes special designed for that | 02:37 |
| Schuenemann | Aquahallic, fdisk -l | 02:38 |
| Aquahallic | ty | 02:38 |
| * Schuenemann wishes he had a canonical store near him | 02:40 | |
| updates | Daisuke_Ido, i also tried screen01, screen 02 LeftOf screen01, screen03 RightOf screen01 | 02:40 |
| timma | Jordan_U thank you | 02:41 |
| Aquahallic | WHOAH... my /dev/sdb shows it doesn't have a valid partition table.. yet I'm able to read files off it... I "believe" I set this up with xfs.. is there a way I can check this disk? | 02:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | updates: yeah, that would have been about my only suggestion :\ | 02:41 |
| updates | Daisuke_Ido, thanks anyway :) | 02:42 |

| mib | okie | 02:49 |
| Sephr | well anywho, my question wasn't how can I get a good direct download, it was where I can get a good 8.04.1 64bit iso torrent | 02:50 |
| mib | Zeus: ive done that | 02:50 |
| Schuenemann | mib, try apt-cache search graphviz | 02:50 |

| paola | hhhh | 02:50 |

| Schuenemann | mib, prints out the correct package name? | 02:51 |
| _Zeus_ | ShinjinAkage: what makes you think it works? | 02:51 |
| Schuenemann | !pastebin | mib | 02:51 |

| Sephr | just a general search for the terms ubuntu 64bit give almost no results on all torrent sites | 02:51 |
| ShinjinAkage | Because I've used the java enviroment to run a downloaded java application. | 02:52 |
| _Zeus_ | hmm | 02:52 |
| Schuenemann | ShinjinAkage, I think you need to create a symlink to a .so file | 02:52 |
| Jordan_U | ShinjinAkage: Do you have the FF plugin installed? | 02:52 |
| musikgoat | Sephr: ubuntu provides a torrent file | 02:52 |

| Aquahallic | if I have a drive with xfs file system on it.. and I do a fdisk -l and it comes back as does not have a valid partition table on it... is there a way I can repair with without any data loss... I can read and write the drive right now... | 02:53 |
| musikgoat | Sephr: check linuxtracker? | 02:53 |
| ShinjinAkage | I already installed that... | 02:53 |
| Schuenemann | mib, it doesn't seem to be any of them | 02:53 |
| cilkay | Aquahallic: The obvious thing to do is to get the data off that disk ASAP then fiddle with it. | 02:53 |
| _Zeus_ | Aquahallic: I would recommend copying all the files off then formatting and putting it back in | 02:53 |
| mib | graphviz-cairo ? | 02:53 |
| _Zeus_ | crap ninja'd :-P | 02:53 |
| * Aquahallic knew that was coming....LOL | 02:54 | |
| _Zeus_ | mib: go to System > Administration > Software Sources | 02:54 |
| Aquahallic | yeah.... well.. time to tax the network...:P | 02:54 |
| Schuenemann | ShinjinAkage, go to the jre directory. There should be a libsomething.so file | 02:54 |

| jaakkome | qr_: ping something 2> file seemed to work though... | 03:14 |
| DOT3CH | anyone know how to get the window tray back up on the bottom of the screen in gnome after its been removed | 03:14 |
| T2 | Zeus: is there a prepackaged one in ubuntu | 03:14 |
| joustin | right clik on top panel and choose add panel | 03:14 |
| joustin | err new panel | 03:15 |
| === brobison is now known as grayeul | ||
| qr_ | jaakkome: ahh, try ping something > file 2>&1 , that seems to work for me. | 03:15 |
| qr_ | jaakkome: apparently order is important here. | 03:15 |
| Xang | DOT3CH: In a panel on the bottom? | 03:15 |
| DOT3CH | yea | 03:15 |
| stavros | anyone knows how do use aircrack | 03:15 |
| === DBLobster is now known as U09526 | ||
| Xang | DOT3CH: Right click and select "Add to panel.." | 03:15 |
| luqui | I'm trying to remove nautilus from my gnome session (by setting its style to trash), but it keeps coming back! | 03:15 |
| DOT3CH | no no, the entire bar | 03:15 |
| Schuenemann | Dragon_Master, you have to make a symlink from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins | 03:16 |
| joustin | ang that works if the panel is there, click on the exsisting panel and choose new panel | 03:16 |
| luqui | i.e. set its style to trash, log out, log back in (and it's not there), log out, log back in (it's back!) | 03:16 |
| luqui | how do I get rid of it!? | 03:16 |
| Dragon_Master | Schuenemann, I already did | 03:16 |
| Dragon_Master | xD | 03:16 |
| arvind_khadri | hi, does SQUID have GUI?? | 03:16 |
| Xang | DOT3CH: RIght click the top panel and select "New Panel" | 03:16 |
| Slade | DOT3CH: click on the bottom and click New Panel | 03:16 |
| DEViUS | komputes: are we going to solve this? | 03:16 |
| DOT3CH | Xang: ok that worked i think | 03:16 |
| Slade | and move the panel to the bottom, then Right click on thew new panel, and click Add To Panel to add the things you want to add | 03:16 |
| komputes | DEViUS: trying | 03:17 |
| Schuenemann | Dragon_Master, and? | 03:17 |
| joustin | doh | 03:17 |
| jaakkome | qr_ great, now it's doing just what I wanted (and I learned something) thanks again! | 03:17 |
| Xang | DOT3CH: Then what Slade said :) | 03:17 |
| DOT3CH | Xang: i meant the actuall bottom bar that docked windows just like in windows xp | 03:17 |
| Dragon_Master | why do you think I'm here for this ;) | 03:17 |
| qr_ | jaakkome: cheers! | 03:17 |
| DEViUS | komputes: as far as i understood there isnt any /dev/video0 nor | 03:17 |
| Schuenemann | Dragon_Master, are you sure java is working? | 03:17 |
| DEViUS | komputes: any /dev/video | 03:17 |
| Xang | DOT3CH: That is a combo of a bottom panel and an addon called: Window List | 03:17 |
| Slade | DOT3CH: we just told you. When you click Add To panel there's a thing for window lists | 03:17 |
| komputes | DEViUS: you are correvt | 03:18 |
| DEViUS | komputes: how can we create/make these properly | 03:18 |
| luqui | anybody? | 03:18 |
| DEViUS | komputes: as in character devices | 03:18 |
| komputes | DEViUS: well the driver (usually video4linux) takes care of detecting and creting the device | 03:19 |
| Slade | luqui: how are you setting its style to trash? and also, is this a theme? | 03:19 |
| The | Aircrack??? | 03:19 |
| komputes | DEViUS: is there a switch or keyboard function key that turns the webcam on/off ? | 03:19 |
| luqui | Slade, using gnome-session-properties | 03:19 |
| luqui | Slade, is what a theme? | 03:19 |
| DEViUS | komputes: no there isn't | 03:19 |
| tarelerulz | What is good transcoder with a gui ? | 03:20 |
| Slade | luqui: your nautilus style. Did you download it from gnome-look.org or something similar? | 03:20 |
| komputes | tarelerulz: acidrip | 03:20 |
| DEViUS | komputes: something went wrong recently, is it possible to have v4l reconfigure the webcam or something like that | 03:20 |
| luqui | Slade, ... nautilus... style? I did install a theme, maybe that's it. But I think it's just a gtk theme. | 03:20 |
| tarelerulz | Komputes , is that for ripping movies or converting .avi you all ready have ? I want it for the ipod | 03:21 |
| Slade | luqui: you may want to try using another theme and see if it fixes the problem. if it does, you may even know where to go from there so you can use the previous theme without it affecting nautilus. | 03:21 |
| cloroxcowboy | "DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0" | 03:21 |
| christoz | I'm looking for a good shell-script book (or e-book) for beginners, any suggestions? | 03:21 |
| komputes | tarelerulz: both, rip DVD or convert video | 03:21 |
| luqui | Slade, okay thanks | 03:21 |
| Schuenemann | why does ubuntu refer to my hard drives as sda, sdb and not hda, hdb? | 03:22 |
| Slade | luqui: no problem. If you're trying to get rid of nautilus all together, what do you plan to use? | 03:22 |
| IMTheNachoMan | Schuenemann: are they serial ATA ? | 03:22 |
| luqui | Slade, xmonad ;-) | 03:22 |
| Schuenemann | nope IDE | 03:22 |
| IMTheNachoMan | Schuenemann: word...i dont know | 03:22 |
| joustin | isnt that a good in the current kernal that causes that? | 03:22 |
| joustin | goof i meant | 03:22 |
| komputes | Schuenemann: there was a change at some point and even IDE disks stared being labeled as SCSI disks, i ask myself why as well, but al least now it's always standard... | 03:22 |
| mahnamahna | hi, can someone help me get my hauppauge tv-tuner working? | 03:23 |
| qr_ | Schuenemann: newish kernels like to call all kinds of things sdx instead of hdx ... | 03:23 |
| Slade | luqui: your other option, tho IMO undesirable is to uninstall nautilus and install xmonad. Create a symbolic link of xmonad and call it nautilus. | 03:23 |
| luqui | eeeeeewwwwwwww | 03:23 |
| Slade | luqui: ie: ln -s /usr/bin/xmonad /usr/bin/nautilus | 03:23 |
| luqui | yeah, first, that's system wide, and second, eeww :-) | 03:23 |
| Schuenemann | how would the usb sticks be referred now? sdc? | 03:24 |
| luqui | trying your suggestion Slade | 03:24 |
| Slade | luqui: hence why i said undesirable :) | 03:24 |

| morningwalker | just follow that | 03:32 |
| Dragon_Master | culd not find it in these packages | 03:32 |
| morningwalker | if you can be patient enough i am already making a tutorial for internet config, purely for static ip address | 03:32 |
| Dragon_Master | but it is installed | 03:32 |
| Dragon_Master | -_- | 03:32 |
| Slade | stylianos: yes, go to System, Preferences, Sessions | 03:33 |
| Slade | add it there | 03:33 |
| Dragon_Master | brb | 03:33 |
| amt | morningwalker, when i connect the ethernet cable, the little lights don't even blink, so i'm not sure if this is connection configuration | 03:33 |

| T2 | how can i install iTunes in ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| laserbeak | what's the difference between hda and sda? | 03:39 |
| almondbrot | T2: itunes doesn't run on linux | 03:39 |
| LinuxMercedes | T2--the only way you can do that is by using wine | 03:39 |
| qr_ | laserbeak: 11 letters | 03:39 |
| laserbeak | that was good :) | 03:40 |
| jStefan | arcfide, did you try package ia32-libs ? | 03:40 |
| LinuxMercedes | T2: and it doesn't work all that well, IMHO | 03:40 |
| Dragon_Master | when I installed iTunes on Wine (Kubuntu) it was going nuts | 03:40 |
| laserbeak | qr_ but what's that mean | 03:40 |
| almondbrot | laserbeak: hd* is IDE and sd* is SCSI (not necessarily for real, but using the interface) | 03:40 |
| LinuxMercedes | Dragon_Master, that's my experience as well =[ | 03:40 |
| Dragon_Master | like black screens | 03:40 |
| Dragon_Master | and all | 03:40 |
| Dragon_Master | xD | 03:40 |
| komputes | LinuxMercedes: you got itunes to work through wine? what version of itunes? | 03:40 |
| qr_ | laserbeak: seriously though, it used to be hdx was for IDE drives and sdx was for SATA, but newish kernels like to call most everything sdx regardless | 03:41 |
| ech0dish | had to disable the wifi adapter in the bios to boot up | 03:41 |
| Dragon_Master | komputes, its screws up though | 03:41 |
| laserbeak | oh ok | 03:41 |
| laserbeak | yeah i suspected that cause i have SATA | 03:41 |
| LinuxMercedes | komputes, IIRC it's something like 7.6. I don't use it at all now, since my iPod died | 03:41 |
| laserbeak | next question is why is there sda5 and sda7?? | 03:41 |
| almondbrot | i have SATA, too, i had to change the mode to RAID from IDE, otherwise it wouldn't load linux at all | 03:41 |
| laserbeak | there are 2 partitions and a swap | 03:41 |

| Dragon_Master | komputes, because you have to get QuickTime too | 03:42 |

| _Tom | stavros, aircrack is pretty intense to learn, google youtube aircrack and you'll find all you need to get started | 04:02 |
| stavros | the thing is i understand about aircrack only wap not wpa | 04:02 |
| _Tom | wickedpuppy, it sounds like you set the prompt to something nonstandard, restart your terminal and see if its still there | 04:03 |
| _Tom | or how did you get to it? | 04:03 |
| wickedpuppy | _Tom, i am helping someone and he got that prompt ... i have never seen that before so i am seeing if thats a program/language prompt like python prompt | 04:04 |

| _Tom | wickedpuppy I think you're friend set his prompt wrong, i would try the whoami command, if he is in another type of prog that wont work, standard shell should tell you who you are | 04:05 |
| wickedpuppy | _Tom, thanks for the tip | 04:05 |
| _Tom | I hope its useful | 04:06 |
| djhash | ok.. question worded wrong.. what program to use for sftp.. GUI.. (non terminal) | 04:06 |
| wickedpuppy | that might be it | 04:06 |
| T2 | is anyone familiar with running synergy in ubuntu to control 2 complters? | 04:06 |

| djhash | _Tom: thanks.. i'll give it a try | 04:08 |

| VanessaE | good evening. Question: | 04:13 |
| === foetus is now known as Guest11617 | ||
| stavros | no no no is there a way | 04:14 |
| sales_guy | I went to system settings, entered administrator mode, told it duplicate display on second display device... it told me I needed to log out and restart xserver. I logged out, got a grey screen... nothing I could do from there, so I had to power the machine down. When powering back up the video keeps refreshing and refreshing but is unable to start so it goes to command line mode | 04:14 |
| Guest11617 | fd | 04:14 |
| danbhfive | stavros: whats going slow for you? | 04:14 |
| VanessaE | I have an Epson CX6400. Memory cards work fine via it with Ubuntu (as USB mass storage)....except this new SD card I picked up. | 04:14 |
| stavros | runing applications | 04:14 |
| tj83 | hello all, I have added a secondary group to my main user... and upon reboot it now is not in the "sudoer" file, any suggestions to restore this? | 04:14 |
| VanessaE | printer doesn't see it, computer doesn't show anything in dmesg that indicates that it can see it. I think the card is merely unformatted, but how do I fix this? | 04:14 |
| stavros | plus there is a problem with update manager | 04:15 |
| danbhfive | sales_guy: have you tried reconfiguring xorg? to get back to normal? | 04:15 |
| danbhfive | stavros: whats the problem? | 04:15 |
| arodd | VanessaE mkfs.msdos | 04:15 |
| sales_guy | danbhfive: and that would be done how? | 04:15 |
| stavros | ok we | 04:15 |
| VanessaE | arodd: the computer doesn't even *see* the card, so I can't even fdisk, let alone mkfs.* | 04:15 |
| foetus58 | I need a program like ARES, which one would be the better option? | 04:16 |
| VanessaE | these SD cards confuse me :-/ | 04:16 |
| stavros | ok when going to the update manager it doesn't do nothing | 04:16 |
| Odditie | Can anyone help me with something in OpenOffice? Is there anyway to change the way it rounds numbers? by default it rounds up, i need it to round down | 04:16 |
| stavros | but it shows there is an update | 04:16 |
| ASrock | ok i used vmware in ubuntu with windows xp pro and used my external usb drive with it and the external hard drive hasent worked sence | 04:16 |
| arodd | vanessaE: unformatted cards will show up in dmesg | 04:17 |
| danbhfive | !xconfig | sales_guy | 04:17 |
| ubottu | sales_guy: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 04:17 |
| VanessaE | aordd: then my printer (which serves as the card reader) must be the issue :-/ | 04:17 |
| * VanessaE sighs | 04:17 | |
| arodd | lsusb and look for the card reader on the usb bus | 04:17 |
| danbhfive | stavros: isnt there a button you can press to start the update? | 04:17 |
| arodd | to see that it's recognized | 04:17 |
| VanessaE | arodd: it is. | 04:18 |
| VanessaE | /dev/sdc. | 04:18 |
| Odditie | actually i asked that wrong, I don't need it to round at all is the issue | 04:18 |
| VanessaE | Other types of cards (e.g. CF or SM) work fine with it. | 04:18 |
| arodd | you should be able to mkfs.msdos /dev/sdc no? | 04:18 |
| IdleOne | stavros: you either click install or click on check for it to check the repositories again | 04:18 |
| arodd | no need to make a partition | 04:18 |
| VanessaE | eh? /dev/sdc without a partition number???? | 04:19 |
| arodd | yeah | 04:19 |
| _Tom | wickedpuppy I would of course, reccomend that he not use root as a primary account, and create a different, non administrative account for that stuff | 04:19 |
| VanessaE | ok, I didn't try that | 04:19 |

| Flannel | Fused: You'll have to add it to your menu, the detection stuff only happens at install. | 04:41 |

| arodd | kbrosnan: comes down to usability, I haven't had mine crash yet, however flash 9 crashed all the time | 04:44 |
| arodd | kbrosnan: depends on the pages you visit I suppose | 04:45 |
| kbrosnan | arodd: no, flash 10 is bad for builds less than 3.0.1 | 04:45 |

| cilkay | Fused: Virtual machines are pretty for dealing with this too. | 04:47 |
| arodd | kbrosnan: As a reminder, Firefox 3.0.1 has a known crash problem with a wide variety of windowless mode SWFs. | 04:47 |
| cilkay | lowlux: Why does "Ubuntu have to fix this" when "this" has nothing to do with Ubuntu? It's Flash, which is a pain on *every* operating system. | 04:47 |
| arodd | kbrosnan: they must not be very common | 04:47 |
| cilkay | Fused: I meant that VMs are pretty good for that use. | 04:48 |
| kbrosnan | arodd: also flash 10 on x64 is tricky from what i have heard. So checking what kernel people are running would be good too. | 04:48 |
| kbrosnan | arodd: mostly used in fulscreen flash video | 04:48 |
| cilkay | Fused: E.g. virtualbox, VMWare Server (free) are a couple of options. | 04:48 |
| lowlux | ohh the blame game.... why don't linux just come out with there own standard of flash. | 04:48 |

| powertool08 | AAA: well I can generate one with a passphrase, but sshd won't load it | 04:51 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 linux will hook you up. don't sweat the bios | 04:52 |
| danbhfive | eydaimon: whats this? | 04:52 |
| _Tom | eyd | 04:52 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: just select it in your menu.lst. If you want to change the default, there's a 'default' selection in the menu.lst | 04:52 |
| lowlux | hell windows is more stable then this crap... ubuntu is getting worse then windows | 04:52 |
| powertool08 | AAA: $ sudo ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key | 04:52 |
| eydaimon | danbhfive: if I go to Administration | network and change settings, it doesn't work. I end up having to use ifconfig and route to set the IP. how come? what am I doing wrong? | 04:52 |
| AAA | powertool08 ssh-add /path/to/key | 04:52 |
| arodd | lowlux: seriously? | 04:52 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: I only have one :( | 04:52 |
| eydaimon | danbhfive: network settings, that is | 04:52 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: You only have one kernel showing? | 04:52 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: did you remove the old linux-image packages? | 04:52 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: that's how all other variations I've worked with had worked but I only have one her | 04:52 |
| Bogus8 | e | 04:52 |
| danbhfive | eydaimon: what version are you using? | 04:52 |
| l3d | ok lets say my login window will not let me make any changes to it I mean it does work but it seems to be locked. its there a file i have to get write permissions for to change it ? | 04:52 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I use that command, if I give it a passphrase then I get "Could not load host key" if I don't give it a phrase, it works | 04:53 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: no, I just did a recent apt-get | 04:53 |
| phantomcircuit | lowlux, you must be doing some very ridiculous shit | 04:53 |
| Greyspacebt3 | AAA thanks,,, but what option did your choose | 04:53 |
| Flannel | phantomcircuit: Please watch your language | 04:53 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: Do you have more than one kernel in /boot? | 04:53 |
| AAA | powertool08 check your ~/.ssh/config and see if you have something preventing that | 04:53 |
| lowlux | they need to fix what is out now instead of releasing 8.10 9.00 10.00 | 04:53 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: I have a initrd.img-2.6.24-19-server.bak | 04:53 |
| Prose | so why would a print share spit this out in cups when I try to print :"Session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" | 04:53 |
| Flannel | lowlux: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 04:54 |
| eydaimon | danbhfive: I just installed it now. 8.04 ? | 04:54 |
| danbhfive | I've had stability issues with ubuntu too.... but it might be my wireless card, but STILL, it freezes my whole system | 04:54 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 I generally ignore those settings entirely | 04:54 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: but only one actual image? | 04:54 |
| GomoX | Hey | 04:54 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 YMMV | 04:54 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: I guess so | 04:54 |
| GomoX | I could use some help | 04:54 |
| powertool08 | AAA: what would prevent it? example? | 04:54 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: Uh, that's... different. What problem are you having then, with said kernel? | 04:54 |
| Flannel | !ask | GomoX | 04:54 |
| ubottu | GomoX: 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. :-) | 04:54 |
| GomoX | 1) i installed uswsusp and splashy and after removing the packages i lost the ubuntu splash screen | 04:54 |
| danbhfive | eydaimon: sorry, i have no idea | 04:55 |
| GomoX | Would like to get it back :) | 04:55 |
| phantomcircuit | I want to make a list with checkboxes next to the list items in open office, how can i do that? | 04:55 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: well, an irssi script "broke" after a reboot and I'm trying to narrow down why | 04:55 |
| AAA | powertool08 not really sure, there shouldn't be anything in that config that would. it was just the first thing I thought of. you said load into sshd. sshd is the server and doesn't give a damn about your keys. did you mistype? | 04:55 |
| Greyspacebt3 | AAA, I bet you only have one SATA | 04:55 |
| nnull | anyway to to record desktop to a avi or other common viewable format? | 04:55 |
| l3d | ok lets say my login window will not let me make any changes to it I mean it does work but it seems to be locked. its there a file i have to get write permissions for to change it ? | 04:55 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: here is what my apt log says about the kernel update http://www.pastebin.ca/1194401 | 04:55 |
| cilkay | lowlux: Obviously you haven't read "How to Make Friend and Influence People". You don't come into a support channel asking for *free* help for an OS for which you paid nothing and then whine about how bad it is, how Windows is better, how "linux should fix it", as if "linux" were some corporate entity that owed you something. You, sir, are an ignoramus. | 04:56 |
| eydaimon | danbhfive: alright. thanks for looking | 04:56 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 I have funky configs =p take my advice with a grain of salt. linux _should_ do the right thing given you have kernel support which I assume you do | 04:56 |
| eydaimon | danbhfive: but that's how it's supposed to work, right? | 04:56 |
| deokanon | i guess it`s a bad time to ask a noob question | 04:56 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I'm trying to generate a new HOST key, not a regular key, and when i restart the server it says it could not load the new key, unless I generate it without the passphrase. Do host keys not normally have passphrases and user keys do? | 04:57 |
| cilkay | deokanon: Not at all. | 04:57 |
| ekow | Hey does anyone know an effective method of speeding up the boot process? | 04:57 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: Mmmm, its because the new one is the same... as the old one. At least, version-wise. They've switched to doing it that way, and I honestly don't know why. You can copy the various .bak files to be ther own entries, and then do update-grub | 04:57 |
| ckyle | ekow: overclocking to 5 Ghz? | 04:57 |
| Greyspacebt3 | AAA How did your underline,, kewl,, What IRC program / application are you using | 04:57 |
| eydaimon | Flannel: how about you, any ideas? | 04:57 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: a decent enough entry name would be 2.6.24-19-36 or something | 04:57 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: that'd be plus whatever the other stuff was,of course. | 04:58 |
| ekow | ckyle: What is overclocking? | 04:58 |
| cilkay | deokanon: Most people are generally very nice when they ask and don't whine and their respect is returned with generous support and respect so feel free to ask for help. | 04:58 |
| AAA | powertool08 that sounds like a permissions issue. I think you want the key to be 0600 (check me on that) see what ther perms are, they should be very conserved | 04:58 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: I tried to copy the top entry down to a 4th entry and just add the .bak to the end of the initrd line | 04:58 |
| danbhfive | eydaimon: you would think. Personally, once I get my netconnection setup, it doesnt change on me. So I don't deal with it that much... | 04:58 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 most clients let your use '_'at the beginning and the end'_' like _this_ | 04:58 |
| Greyspacebt3 | let see _thank you AAA_ | 04:59 |
| prince_jammys | Greyspacebt3: that was done by your client, not _his_ :) | 04:59 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 happy hacking :) | 04:59 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lol | 04:59 |
| * Greyspacebt3 thank you | 04:59 | |
| Flannel | Bogus8: Seems like a slim chance that a kernel upgrade would break an irssi script though, to be honest. | 04:59 |
| eydaimon | danbhfive: I know what you mean. I guess I have to figure out what files to change instead and just not rely on it | 04:59 |
| ckyle | ekow: I said that somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Overclocking is setting the FSB or multiplier of your cpu to a value higher than it's rated for. Not recommended in most cases, except the occassional enthusiast. | 04:59 |
| danbhfive | eydaimon: is it changing on every reboot? | 04:59 |
| nnull | anyway to to record desktop to a avi or other common viewable format? | 04:59 |
| powertool08 | AAA: its not permissions because it works without the passphrase, changed them anyway but it didn't help | 05:00 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: well, I even created a new user and tried to run the script there and still same error... it worked one day and then power went out and my UPS is apparently shot so I had to "reboot" and after that I started getting the error | 05:00 |
| eydaimon | danbhfive: I've only booted once, but I don't imagine setting it with ifconfig/route would be persistent without saving the configs somewhere :) | 05:00 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: did you fsck? | 05:00 |
| ekow | ckyle: probably not the best idea for laptops eh? | 05:00 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: don't think so... it's headless so if it was a forced fsck I wouldn't have seen it | 05:00 |
| AAA | powertool08 ah! look at /etc/sshd/sshd_config (or whatever) and look for the setting that talke about the type of auth you wanna use. I think that is the deal | 05:01 |
| ckyle | ekow: correct | 05:01 |
| cilkay | ckyle: Overclocking is a necessity because four 2.5GHz cores is simply not enough for Vista :) | 05:01 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: alright, well, try that. Since power outages do funny things. sudo touch /forcefsck, and then reboot | 05:01 |
| ckyle | ;-) | 05:01 |
| AAA | cilkay that is a simple fix. install linux or force your user to ;) | 05:01 |
| _Tom | thats not nice | 05:02 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: ok, well it's this box... so I'll give it a go and see... I actually have a monitor hooked up right now since that previous grub edit didn't work (reminds me that I need to go fix that ;) ) | 05:02 |
| deokanon | ah thanks cilkay... okay i installed kubuntu on my laptop, i created a partition ntfs and everything was going fine... but then the password that i setup for my user account didnt work.... so i decided to go back in my winxp OS in disk management and formatted every partition that had linux on it... and when i restarted my computer i get an grub error 17 stage 1.5 | 05:02 |
| GomoX | nnull: apt-cache search screencast | 05:02 |
| nnull | GomoX, will i be able to find it in synaptic or? | 05:02 |
| Bogus8 | "I'll be back" ;) | 05:02 |
| Flannel | !screencast | nnull | 05:02 |
| ubottu | nnull: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 05:02 |
| danbhfive | eydaimon: I thought ifconfig saves its stuff in /etc/network/interfaces... | 05:03 |
| arodd | deokanon: you need to do a fixmbr from your xp install cd | 05:03 |
| nnull | ty flannel, gomox | 05:03 |
| cilkay | AAA: But I won't be a l33t haX0r if I don't have a liquid nitrogen CPU cooler and RAM with laser cut heat sinks made of that rarest of alloys that all German cars are made of, Unobtainium. | 05:03 |
| ekow | I was thinking more along the lines of changing some kind of default settings to magically increase my boot up time significantly =) | 05:03 |
| AAA | cilkay but you can pretend to be one on the internet! | 05:03 |
| Greyspacebt3 | I have Three SATA drives, Windows sees all of them and wants me to configure them before I can USE ALL three SATA, forcing me to make a choice,,, to MIRROR and other configurations.. etc | 05:04 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Ok, I'll do it the hard way and read | 05:04 |
| AAA | ekow hack your bios!!! | 05:04 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I don't get it, my sshd_config was working fine, the only thing i've done is delete all my keys and try to generate new ones | 05:04 |
| eydaimon | danbhfive: looks like it's got good stuff in there. well, I'll see on reboot. I don't think my freebsd machine stores it anywhere, and it's been awhile since I used debian stuffs :P | 05:04 |
| arodd | Greyspacebt3: try not to initialize as dynamic | 05:04 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 step 1) remove windows | 05:04 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lol | 05:04 |
| Greyspacebt3 | AAA I am in College, I need windows | 05:05 |
| AAA | powertool08 and you restared sshd and it still pukes? did you turn on mad debugging? -ddd _I think_ | 05:05 |
| Cycom | Greyspacebt3: for what? | 05:05 |
| ckyle | step 2: burn your Windows cd and swear allegiance to lINUX | 05:05 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Arood,, thank you for that | 05:05 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 bah!! | 05:05 |
| cilkay | deokanon: I presume you want to boot into Windows now. You'll have to restore the master boot record so that Windows will boot. Grub is attempting to find a boot image on a partition that no longer exists. | 05:05 |
| Cycom | Greyspacebt3: seriously. What do you need windows for? | 05:05 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 does your college have a citrix network with doze apps? | 05:05 |
| Greyspacebt3 | CYCom, all the Electronic programs | 05:05 |
| Cycom | Greyspacebt3: ah, bummer. Real applications. | 05:06 |
| Greyspacebt3 | that the College requires | 05:06 |
| Cycom | wait, like for classes? | 05:06 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 make them give it to you over some middleware then | 05:06 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Like for Circuit creation and more | 05:06 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I've been starting it with sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start, how do I add -ddd to this? | 05:06 |
| Cycom | oh, ok | 05:06 |
| deokanon | cilkay tell how i go about that, ive tried the multiple boot menu and put in my xp install cd but nothing seems to work... i even tried network booting but i always end up on the screen where the erro 17 is displayed :( | 05:06 |
| AAA | powertool08 restart | 05:07 |
| Greyspacebt3 | You have to pass knowing the Applications | 05:07 |
| ckyle | There are several linux apps for circuit creation | 05:07 |
| AAA | powertool08 sorry | 05:07 |
| Tempusrname | Hey i have a problem when i removed a UBUNTU harddrive from one machine and put it in another machine to boot | 05:07 |
| Greyspacebt3 | I know,, they aren't on the College course list | 05:07 |
| nullHead|busy | when's the new ISO supposed to be out? | 05:07 |
| AAA | powertool08 so just start sshd with option that run it in the foreground in debug mode, use the --help to find them | 05:07 |
| Flannel | Greyspacebt3: What sort of circuit creation are you talking about? SPICE? Eagle? | 05:07 |
| AAA | powertool08 it will run in your term and you can see the details of the breakage | 05:08 |
| Flannel | nullHead|busy: For intrepid? #ubuntu+1 for intrepid questions | 05:08 |
| Greyspacebt3 | and they are very old.. Spice Eagel | 05:08 |
| Flannel | Greyspacebt3: spice is in the repos. EAGLE is available for linux, although only in a bin I believe, you'd have to check cadsoft's page. | 05:08 |
| Tempusrname | when i put a existing harddrive with ubuntu 7.10 installed into another box and booted it would boot find till it got to running local scrips it would just stay there and not move further in the boot. Should i reconfigure xorg? | 05:08 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Microchip,,, workbench | 05:09 |
| Tempusrname | fine^ not find | 05:09 |
| AAA | Tempusrname edit your /etc/fstab and comment# out the drive that doesn't exist any more | 05:09 |
| Greyspacebt3 | I have to reboot,,, there are tons of courses and software that must be used in the next four years | 05:09 |

| Tempusrname | AAA i am right now in recovery mode so what exactly do i do? (i'm bad at terminal) | 05:10 |
| deokanon | hey cilkay.. thanks.. i jus talked to someone in the kubuntu channel and they told me exactly what you told me to do... thanks dude will do | 05:10 |
| cilkay | Have fun. | 05:10 |
| AAA | Tempusrname ok. first lets see how you are set. touch /tmp/test | 05:11 |
| cilkay | Greyspacebt3: For those few Windows apps you might have to run, you can run Windows in Virtualbox or Qemu just fine. | 05:11 |
| AAA | Tempusrname does that create a new file in the /tmp dir? | 05:11 |
| Kira[work] | good day | 05:11 |
| gallardo | hi | 05:11 |
| Tempusrname | AAA it gives me a permission denied | 05:11 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I think I found it: debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key. | 05:11 |
| prince_jammys | People have hard drives with tons of space nowadays. There's no reason they shouldn | 05:12 |
| AAA | Tempusrname ok, you are prolly mounted in read-only mode | 05:12 |
| AAA | powertool08 sweet! | 05:12 |
| Tempusrname | Oh | 05:12 |
| cilkay | Greyspacebt3: if you have a machine with the x86 virtualization extensions, VT for Intel, I forget what for AMD, you can run Windows at native speed using kvm and qemu. | 05:12 |
| Tempusrname | How do i get out AA | 05:12 |
| prince_jammys | ... 't install windows if they have it, and they want to. | 05:12 |
| AAA | Tempusrname you need to mount your shit rw to fix this | 05:12 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I want ssh2 tho so I don't want the rsa1 key | 05:12 |
| Tempusrname | How do i get out AAA | 05:12 |

| Greyspacebt3 | cilkay,, the perfect machine | 05:13 |
| Legendario | every time I turn on my computer, it uses gtk theme instead of emerald. Then i have to type "emerald --replace" on terminal. Does anyone knows how to correct it? | 05:13 |
| AAA | Tempusrname I will keep that in mind, I won't lead you in the wrong way | 05:13 |
| Kira[work] | Flannel: suexec is more secure (when configured correctly) for the overall system, no? | 05:13 |
| Tempusrname | k thanks AAA | 05:13 |
| AAA | Tempusrname mount -o remount, rw / | 05:13 |
| Tempusrname | AAA did that, was i supost to see any text scrolling? | 05:14 |
| AAA | Tempusrname that should remount your disk in read-write mode | 05:14 |
| cilkay | Greyspacebt3: Oh, you're one of those liquid nitrogen cooled CPU guys :) Yes, that machine will work very well. More RAM, of course, will be better if you intend to run Vista in the VM. | 05:14 |
| AAA | Tempusrname now touch /tmp/test again | 05:14 |
| cilkay | Greyspacebt3: And you'll need the appropriate version of Vista (not Home Basic but don't recall which one) to run it in a virtual machine, if you care about running Vista at all. | 05:15 |
| Tempusrname | AAA do i include touch or just /tmp/test | 05:15 |
| Flannel | Kira[work]: That depends on a bunch of variables. Whatare you going to be doing with your server? | 05:15 |
| AAA | Tempusrname $> touch /tmp/test | 05:15 |
| Greyspacebt3 | More RAM ,, it have 4 GB RAM and 2.5 TB Hard drive | 05:15 |

| dsl913 | how? | 05:20 |
| VanessaE | mount the drive somewhere and edit the file :-) | 05:20 |
| amenado | dsl913-> if dsl has vim use that or pico ? | 05:20 |
| cwillu | VanessaE, I can't say for sure under kubuntu, but under ubuntu, under printing | server, you tell it to publish connected printers, and then on the other computer, you tell it to show remotely published printers, and it should show up in a few minutes | 05:20 |
| VanessaE | e.g. mkdir /mnt/mydrive && mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/mydrive | 05:20 |
| cilkay | ckyle: if you're running 32 bit Vista, it will NOT use more than 3GB. In a recent Service Pack, MS added code to report more than 3GB but the OS can still only use up to a maximum of 3GB. For an OS that needs 2GB to be comfortable, 3GB doesn't seem like much headroom, does it? | 05:20 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Cilkay,,, join " remote-exploit " on IRC | 05:20 |
| cwillu | VanessaE, so look for 'publishy' type settings under the printing menus :p | 05:20 |
| dsl913 | so am i root on the live cd? | 05:20 |
| amenado | yes | 05:21 |
| amenado | well if you sudo | 05:21 |
| _Tom | Greyspacebt3, what server is remote exploit on? | 05:21 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Freenode | 05:21 |
| Kira[work] | Flannel: multiple web applications (PHP and Servlet) written by different teams of people, with online payment functionality. Possible multiple virtual hosts. | 05:21 |
| _Tom | Greyspacebt3, thanks | 05:21 |
| powertool08 | AAA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43537/ I'm confused, I don't want to use ssh v1 because of vulnerabilities, and adding a passphrase to my host key shouldn't change whether its rsa1 or rsa | 05:21 |
| ckyle | cilkay: i sent in the requisite $10.95 for the privilege of getting the 64-bit bit Vista DVD... that IMHO should've been in the box to begin with. | 05:21 |
| VanessaE | cwillu, I'm looking...and getting lost :-/ | 05:21 |
| Greyspacebt3 | just JOIN remote-exploit and your there | 05:21 |
| Greyspacebt3 | I assuming that your one freenode | 05:22 |
| dsl913 | tried mkdir, got permission denied | 05:22 |
| Greyspacebt3 | TOM | 05:22 |
| Greyspacebt3 | your welcome | 05:22 |
| cwillu | dsl913, sudo ... | 05:22 |
| cilkay | ckyle: You're a rare bird. Most people are running 32 bit Vista blissfully ignorant to how crippled a system they have. | 05:22 |
| AAA | powertool08 lemme look | 05:22 |
| cwillu | VanessaE, you might have more luck in #kubuntu re: printing settings | 05:22 |
| VanessaE | yeah, I suppose I should look there :) | 05:22 |
| ckyle | cilkay: such sadness in the world... | 05:23 |
| Skidu | what's the command to launch the screen resolution dialog? | 05:23 |
| Skidu | I have a badly adjusted monitor and all my menus are off the screen, but if I can launch it I can get it under control | 05:24 |
| ckyle | gnome-display-properties | 05:24 |
| dsl913 | where does the filesystem type go in a mount command? | 05:24 |
| Skidu | thanks | 05:24 |
| AAA | powertool08 your sshd wants ssh v1 (RSA) and your private key is ssh 2 (DSA). I missed the output earilear, do you have an DSA key? if so that is the problem | 05:24 |
| cwillu | dsl913, -t <type> | 05:24 |
| amenado | dsl913-> after the option -t | 05:24 |
| amenado | whose familiar with creating udev rules? can you assist me with it? do you know if it can use same info as lshal does? my rules seem to not make a difference | 05:25 |
| Skidu | hrm. that wasn't it... | 05:25 |
| Greyspacebt3 | TOM Read the WIKI First,, is the best way to get started.. | 05:25 |
| powertool08 | AAA: how can i make it want a ssh 2 key only, no i don't have a DSA key yet but I did earlier and it failed too, I'll generate one and see what changes | 05:25 |
| Greyspacebt3 | ALL Thank you * ALL * | 05:26 |
| Skidu | how do I force it to use a higher res than it thinks the monitor can han dle? | 05:26 |
| Greyspacebt3 | I am going to apply what I have learned | 05:26 |
| Fused | Does anyone know where I can get the latest bcm43xx driver? | 05:26 |
| Fused | I need to get it, so I can do a fresh install of Ubuntu. | 05:26 |
| AAA | powertool08 the is in your sshd_config | 05:26 |
| Greyspacebt3 | AAA I don't know what my sshd_config is ,,, | 05:27 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lol | 05:27 |
| Greyspacebt3 | Thanks AAA | 05:27 |
| Greyspacebt3 | I'll be back in two days | 05:27 |
| Greyspacebt3 | to let you know how the Ubuntu install went | 05:27 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: well, fsck didn't help :( | 05:28 |
| Skidu | I have a perfectly good monitor, how do I convince ubuntu that it can run 1600x1200/ | 05:28 |
| AAA | Greyspacebt3 oops, wrong nic ;) | 05:28 |
| prince_jammys | !fixres | Skidu | 05:28 |
| Greyspacebt3 | lol | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Skidu: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 05:28 |
| AAA | powertool08 it is in your sshd_config | 05:29 |
| Skidu | thanks | 05:29 |
| celia_tux | how can grep can just tell me (by true or false) if has found a match in a file? | 05:29 |
| AAA | powertool08 you tell it to all ssh 1,2 | 05:29 |
| dsl913 | i guess i can't mount my filesystem because jfs is not supported by the kernel | 05:29 |
| prince_jammys | celia_tux: if grep -q pattern filename; then echo "It's there"; fi | 05:30 |
| powertool08 | AAA: which line specifically? I have it set to Protocol 2 in the protocol section | 05:30 |
| Cpudan80 | celia_tux: The exit code, exits 1 if no match | 05:30 |
| celia_tux | thanks prince | 05:30 |
| AAA | powertool08 debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key. it is asking for proto 1 | 05:30 |
| error404notfound | the port 53 is used for what? is it for dns-query on dns server/ | 05:30 |
| Chaplin2 | hello | 05:30 |
| prince_jammys | celia_tux: welcome. it's like Cpudan80 said | 05:31 |
| Chaplin2 | i have one hard drvie | 05:31 |
| Chaplin2 | vista is currently on it | 05:31 |
| Chaplin2 | and about to install ubunutiu | 05:31 |
| FloodBot2 | Chaplin2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:31 |
| Chaplin2 | what do i do | 05:31 |
| Chaplin2 | guided resize? | 05:31 |
| jtmoney | yes | 05:31 |
| powertool08 | AAA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43543/ both rsa & dsa keys fail | 05:31 |
| jtmoney | Chaplin2: and pray to FSM for guidance | 05:32 |
| Cpudan80 | celia_tux: It exits 2 if there is an error btw | 05:32 |
| AAA | powertool08 looking | 05:32 |
| Chaplin2 | ok and i wont lose anything from windows right? | 05:32 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I saw that, why is it asking for protocol 1? my sshd_config says protocol 2 only | 05:32 |
| Chaplin2 | whats a good amount of space | 05:32 |
| Chaplin2 | to use? | 05:32 |
| Chaplin2 | considering i wont have many large files | 05:32 |
| _Tom | for what? | 05:32 |
| AAA | powertool08 did you stop it first? | 05:32 |
| _Tom | Chaplin2, how big is your HD, how big is windows | 05:33 |
| celia_tux | thanks Cpudan80 | 05:33 |
| Chaplin2 | 250 gb | 05:33 |
| bobertdos | Chaplin2: you shouldn't -- 15-20 Gigs is usually enough, unless you have HUGE videos or something. | 05:33 |
| powertool08 | AAA: yes | 05:33 |
| Chaplin2 | ok 29 gig | 05:33 |
| Chaplin2 | 20 | 05:33 |
| _Tom | I would reccomend 20 GB Chaplin2 | 05:33 |
| Chaplin2 | so now its going to repartioin drive | 05:33 |
| Chaplin2 | i wont losr anything right? | 05:33 |
| Chaplin2 | lose | 05:34 |
| Kurt | you'll need a linux-swap partition as well | 05:34 |
| Chaplin2 | linux swap partition? | 05:34 |
| _Tom | Chaplin2, ubuntu has no problem reading ntfs, so you can still store stuff on the win partitions | 05:34 |
| Chaplin2 | how do i make that? | 05:34 |
| Chaplin2 | also | 05:34 |
| bobertdos | Chaplin2: You can do it in the wizard with the rest of the installatiion. | 05:34 |
| _Tom | it should be part of the "guided resize" thing | 05:34 |
| Chaplin2 | im using desptop version | 05:34 |
| _Tom | thats OK | 05:35 |
| Chaplin2 | but want to start learning for the server edition | 05:35 |
| Chaplin2 | is there a big difference? | 05:35 |
| Cpudan80 | no - no difference at all | 05:35 |
| Kurt | lol yes | 05:35 |
| Kurt | I would call X a difference | 05:35 |
| Flannel | Chaplin2: You can learn the server edition while still having the desktop edition installed. | 05:35 |
| Cpudan80 | Chaplin2: Just dont use X | 05:35 |
| bobertdos | Chaplin2: You'll basically want to get really comfortable with the command line. | 05:35 |
| Chaplin2 | whats X? | 05:35 |
| AAA | powertool08 run it in debug mode again and paste the output | 05:35 |
| Cpudan80 | Chaplin2: the graphical env | 05:35 |
| Chaplin2 | ok | 05:35 |
| _Tom | point + click | 05:35 |
| _Tom | eh | 05:35 |
| celia_tux | heyyy prince?! | 05:36 |
| AAA | powertool08 and also, for fun do this $> netstat -lt| grep ssh | 05:36 |
| Cpudan80 | Chaplin2: If you hit CTRL+F1 you get a plain prompt, which is basically what server would be | 05:36 |
| Chaplin2 | ok | 05:36 |
| Cpudan80 | Chaplin2: CTRL+F7 (or maybe F8) to return to normal mode | 05:36 |
| cilkay | Chaplin2: If you care about preserving that Vista installation, don't resize that drive just yet. I'm going to try to find a post to the local LUG mailing list a friend made recently. | 05:36 |
| bobertdos | Chaplin2: So practice on the Desktop edition first, and switch when you feel you're ready. | 05:36 |
| Chaplin2 | ok will do, so im partioning now | 05:36 |
| chino | isn't there a setting to stop the mouse pad from reacting within a certain delay of a keystroke ? | 05:36 |
| Chaplin2 | 30 gig | 05:36 |
| Chaplin2 | i think it will take a while | 05:36 |
| Flannel | Chaplin2: you can run any servers you want from a desktop install. There's no need to dual boot, that's a waste of harddrive space. | 05:36 |
| Chaplin2 | ok | 05:36 |
| Flannel | Chaplin2: Linux doesn't differentiate between "desktops" and "servers" they're just programs that are being run. | 05:37 |
| Kurt | I've never done the guided resize option (always manual)...I assume it sets a good amount of swap for you? | 05:37 |
| Chaplin2 | ok so in server mode no gui | 05:37 |
| Chaplin2 | which means less resources | 05:37 |
| Kurt | yes, server install takes up very little space compared to desktop install | 05:37 |
| celia_tux | how can this script tell me that just 'lala' has been found (not lal or la or al...) --- command: if grep -q 'lala' /var/log/auth.log; then echo "It's there"; fi | 05:38 |
| bobertdos | Chaplin2: What Flannel says is true, but I guess I'm just saying, if you ever end up being forced in to server-only, you just have to get used to less "luxuries." | 05:38 |
| jtmoney | uhm, the kernel is different for the server edition | 05:38 |
| Chaplin2 | ok | 05:38 |
| jtmoney | but yeah, it shouldn't matter either way | 05:38 |
| powertool08 | AAA: stopped it and started again, get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43546/ | 05:38 |
| Chaplin2 | amd a;sp in ext3, its hard to get a file back if you delete right? | 05:38 |
| Flannel | jtmoney: The kernel has different settings, and they only affect hardware compatability and performance. | 05:38 |
| Chaplin2 | also* | 05:38 |
| rredd4 | installing hardy on sdb. Will grub install on sda or do i have to do something to make it go to sda? | 05:38 |
| Kurt | celia_tux: That script should do it as is...does it not? | 05:38 |
| ASrock | i installed fedora on a second hard drive and it wrote over my ubuntu grub settings so i cant boot into ubuntu any more, how can i restore it? | 05:39 |
| powertool08 | AAA: netstat command returns nothing | 05:39 |
| baiano | tem algum brasileiro nisso aqui? | 05:39 |
| prince_jammys | !br | baiano | 05:39 |
| ubottu | baiano: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 05:39 |
| Chaplin2 | also, if i want to do a clean wipe of both windows and nux | 05:40 |
| Kurt | rm usually sends things to /dev/null, and yes it's pretty hard to get things back from there :0 | 05:40 |
| Chaplin2 | nix | 05:40 |
| baiano | #brasil | 05:40 |
| Chaplin2 | would i just run the windows installation to repartion drive? | 05:40 |
| bobertdos | ASrock: Well, you can reinstall grub via an Ubuntu LiveCD if you want. You could also add an entry for Ubuntu into Fedora's menu.lst OR chainload Fedora's grub. | 05:40 |
| baiano | #salvador | 05:40 |
| AAA | powertool08 what does this return? $> file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key | 05:40 |
| prince_jammys | baiano: /join #ubuntu-br | 05:41 |
| Kurt | I don't think windows comes with a partition editor | 05:41 |
| celia_tux | in 'grep lala /home/file' grep also search for lal or la, what can i do to just search for 'lala'???? | 05:41 |
| powertool08 | AAA: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key: writable, regular file, no read permission | 05:41 |
| ASrock | bobertdos: i tried installing grub from the live cd and that didnt work it said it couldnt mount the partition, how do i add entries to grub? | 05:41 |
| powertool08 | AAA: run with sudo: ASCII text | 05:42 |
| djhash | rredd4: by default it'll install in sda, but just at the end of the questions and partition questions.. there is an advanced button | 05:42 |
| prince_jammys | celia_tux: it's the other way around. grep 'la' will match 'lala', but grep 'lala' won't necessarily match 'la' | 05:42 |
| djhash | ASrock: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:42 |
| celia_tux | oppps yes sorry | 05:42 |
| rredd4 | djhash its installing software now, past partition stuff... | 05:43 |
| bobertdos | ASrock:: One way or another, you are going to need to know which partition (according to Grub) Ubuntu is sitting on. | 05:43 |
| prince_jammys | celia_tux: try grep -wq .... | 05:43 |
| celia_tux | ok | 05:43 |
| celia_tux | thanks prince | 05:43 |
| rredd4 | djhash too late? | 05:43 |
| djhash | rredd4: it'll do the grub automatically | 05:43 |
| Kurt | celia_tux: I think the -q will cause the if statement to always return false | 05:43 |
| rredd4 | djhash ok | 05:43 |
| prince_jammys | celia_tux: that will match lala as a 'word' (see man grep for what grep thinks a word is) | 05:43 |
| djhash | rredd4: its not the end of the world though.. :-) | 05:44 |
| rredd4 | djhash really..... lol | 05:44 |
| AAA | powertool08 if you cat the rsa and dsa do they look like private keys? (dsa should be shorter than rsa) | 05:44 |

| powertool08 | AAA: it didn't give me any results with the netstat | 05:46 |
| ASrock | well i didnt really have anything of importance on my ubuntu installation if i reinstall ubuntu will that overwrite my fedora boot loader? | 05:46 |
| Kurt | Nevermind, no it doesn't :) | 05:46 |
| AAA | powertool08 $> ps auxww | grep ssh | 05:46 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I'll look for more instances and kill them | 05:46 |
| cilkay | Chaplin2: It doesn't matter that the machine in question is a ThinkPad. The issue is Vista. | 05:46 |
| _Tom | Vista -1 | 05:46 |
| AAA | powertool08 netstat -l | 05:46 |
| bobertdos | ASrock: I would guess so, but I'm not a hundred percent sure on that. | 05:47 |
| djacidjac | does anybody know why Evolution won't import .vcf files? | 05:48 |
| bobertdos | ASrock:: Of course, if you completely reformat, yes it will. | 05:48 |
| bobertdos | ASrock: Assuming Grub isn't actually on the MBR. | 05:48 |

| ASrock | idk, i kinda like fedora, i will just let it go for a few days and see what i think then i might just put fedora on the main drive instead | 05:49 |
| AAA | powertool08 now I'm thinking it will work for you :) | 05:49 |
| VanessaE | How do I fully and completely restore all of the default configs regarding cups? | 05:50 |

| dfgas | alright i want to install 64bit ubuntu on a different hard drive, however i want to still have access to 32bit, will grub see the 32bit and put it in the menu or no? | 05:52 |
| Chaplin2 | ok just installed | 05:53 |
| bdizzle | hi, is there a program similar to character map on ubuntu or kubuntu? | 05:53 |
| powertool08 | AAA: starting in debug mode it still said address in use :/ | 05:53 |
| Chaplin2 | it says "new restricted drivers in use" | 05:53 |
| bobertdos | seaninseattle: and it doesn't matter whether you're logging in or booting? | 05:53 |
| AAA | powertool08 hrm. is localhost up? ifconfig l0 | 05:53 |
| powertool08 | AAA: yes | 05:54 |
| AAA | powertool08 er lo.... | 05:54 |
| seaninseattle | bobertdos: well, I only see them when I boot into ubuntu and log in (because I dual boot xp and ubuntu) | 05:54 |
| bobertdos | bdizzle: Ubuntu has a character map preinstalled. | 05:54 |
| prince_jammys | bdizzle: yes, both ubuntu and kubuntu have character map apps. in gnome, i think it's gucharmap | 05:55 |
| bobertdos | seaninseattle: Have you looked at the processes list to see if six instances are actually there? | 05:55 |
| AAA | powertool08 and netstat -l | grep 22 shows nothing??? serious? | 05:55 |
| seaninseattle | yes, that's how I know what PIDs to kill. :) | 05:55 |

| Chaplin2 | how do i enable wireless? | 06:02 |
| annie_g | bofh80: Sounds good! do you have a friend or know someone who actually did this - or have you read this through google searches, etc ? ? ? | 06:03 |
| jiang | does any one know how to add an icon on the right hand corner showing the date? | 06:04 |
| bobertdos | Chaplin2: What adapter do you have? | 06:04 |
| bofh80 | annie_g, i've been looking into it recently. as i said, i don't follow these, i am waiting to get my hands on the ubuntu remix edition . . .1 sec | 06:04 |
| powertool08 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/43550/ | 06:04 |
| powertool08 | AAA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43550/ | 06:04 |
| AAA | powertool08 lemme look. I'm about ready for bed tonight... | 06:04 |
| annie_g | bofh80: ok - | 06:04 |
| Kurt | poorUbuntuUser: Does it look like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/172937 ? | 06:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 172937 in linux "SQUASHFS error while booting from live cd" [High,Invalid] | 06:05 |
| bofh80 | annie_g, http://www.canonical.com/netbooks | 06:05 |
| AAA | powertool08 debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN' | 06:05 |
| AAA | powertool08 debug3: key_read: missing whitespace :: you hosed something new :) | 06:05 |
| Kurt | poorUbuntuUser: That seems to be a rather bad bug...the bottom comment suggests it is fixable by extending the block size using mksquashfs | 06:05 |
| AAA | powertool08 I'm starting to think your ssh keys or filesystem is smoking crack | 06:06 |
| seaninseattle | So, here's a better question for all you not-so-noobs: What are the different places that a program could have been executed along the way from Boot (Grub) > GDM Login > Gnome Window Mgr Session? | 06:07 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I'm not sure what I did... I decided I wanted to change all my keys, so I deleted all the host keys in /etc/ssh/ then I deleted all the user keys in /home/user/.ssh/ generated new ones with the commands I gave you at the start and then when I started the server it rejected the keys | 06:07 |
| pharoahsnation | hello | 06:07 |
| annie_g | bofh80: umm this looks very interesting - might be above me with the coding at this point - but getting better with using Terminal...... | 06:07 |
| poorUbuntuUser | Kurt but how can i do that? | 06:07 |
| Flannel | !startup | seaninseattle | 06:07 |
| ubottu | seaninseattle: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 06:07 |
| Flannel | !bum | seaninseattle | 06:07 |
| ubottu | seaninseattle: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 06:07 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I haven't made new user keys but I figured after the server with host keys was running again then I'd get users connected | 06:08 |
| tag | Is there any way I can give a user two uids? :-) | 06:08 |
| Flannel | tag: why do you want to do that? | 06:08 |
| Kurt | poorUbuntuUser: without being able to boot into a linux distribution? no idea :\ | 06:08 |
| tag | Flannel: sshfs and conflicting uids between systems | 06:08 |
| Kurt | poorUbuntuUser: it's apparently an upstream bug and not Ubuntu-specific | 06:09 |
| tag | my account on my server has the uid of a defunct account here, I don't feel like changing my uid at either location because it'd be a big permissions mess | 06:09 |
| Flannel | tag: Ah. Unfortunately not that I'm aware of. Supposed to just keep UIDs the same ;) | 06:09 |
| tag | indeed | 06:09 |
| AAA | powertool08 you may consider doing something like $> dpkg-reconfigure ssh-server (or similar) I think your config is kinda hosed ;) | 06:09 |
| Flannel | tag: there may be another way, I don't know of it though. | 06:09 |
| poorUbuntuUser | Kurt i have the original ubuntu 8.04 , how isnt that ubuntu related? | 06:09 |
| annie_g | bofh80: You know if there is a way to load Hardy Heron to a SD card and boot to it and run? | 06:09 |
| powertool08 | AAA: ya that would probably be easiest... | 06:09 |
| Kurt | poorUbuntuUser: I mean, it is a problem with squashfs in general, both on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions | 06:10 |
| powertool08 | AAA: Thanks for you help | 06:10 |
| kindofabuzz | with rw,users,exec i should have all access to a drive right? | 06:10 |
| nnull | anyone tell me why firestarter FAILs on the boot sequence? says stopping firestarter done. starting firestarter fail... then fails again later | 06:11 |
| poorUbuntuUser | Kurt will i be stucked on windows xp forever? | 06:11 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz nope | 06:11 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz a drive does not equal a filesystem | 06:11 |
| seaninseattle | Anyone know how to use cat and grep to recursively search through text files for a particular string? | 06:11 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, what else do i need? | 06:11 |
| AAA | powertool08 good luck! | 06:11 |
| prince_jammys | seaninseattle: grep -r pattern directoryname | 06:12 |
| sekyourbox | Does anyone use freenode hidden services here? | 06:12 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz what do you want to do? do you have the bios password? the drive encryption password? and the root password? what esle do you need? | 06:12 |
| Kurt | poorUbuntuUser: I'm checking on the developer's website for it to see if it's a known issue (if not I'll report it for you) | 06:13 |
| sekyourbox | PASSWORD=SWORDFISH | 06:13 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, i want to be able to rw and create folders on the drive, i have it mounted to ~/stuff | 06:13 |
| AAA | seaninseattle are the particular files with simailar names you want to look at? that would make it easier and less disk intensive | 06:13 |
| Flannel | sekyourbox: That's not really on topic for this channel | 06:13 |
| sekyourbox | I know but #freenode doesnt help | 06:14 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz ok then if you have $USERNAME set as the rw in rw-XX-XX you are set | 06:14 |
| tag | Flannel: luckily I can use sshfs -ouid=$UID | 06:14 |
| sekyourbox | They dont know how to use it and the webpage has hazy instructions | 06:14 |
| Flannel | sekyourbox: That doesn't make it ok to ask here. There are a number of other channels, like #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:14 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, this is a drive | 06:14 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz edit /etc/fstab to relect the proper permission . if it is already mounted do $> ls -l /mount/point and let us know where it is mounted | 06:16 |
| seaninseattle | prince_jammys: Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. Take Care! | 06:16 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz sorry, the permissions of the diretory, not "where its mounted" | 06:16 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, so what do i need other than rw,users,exec? i figure users would covor my user name | 06:16 |
| poorUbuntuUser | Kurt can u tell me what is the website url? | 06:17 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, oh so i need to change the permissions of where it is in /dev? | 06:17 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz that is fine if you are the only one useing it. but if other want to use it you'll need to edit the _group_ perms | 06:17 |
| prince_jammys | poorUbuntuUser: do you want the url for basic ssh setup in ubuntu? | 06:18 |
| Kurt | poorUbuntuUser: http://squashfs.sourceforge.net/ | 06:18 |
| prince_jammys | oh, ok. | 06:18 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, why does rw,users,exec not work? | 06:18 |
| mespejel | anyone know if google chrome is coming for linux? | 06:18 |
| Kurt | mespejel: yes, eventually | 06:18 |
| kindofabuzz | mespejel, if you'd actually read about chrome you'd know your answer. yes | 06:18 |
| tanath | i've installed music-applet, but i can't find it in the add to panel thing. any suggestions? | 06:19 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz look in the output of $> mount then do ls -l /mount/point/you/found and then chown user.group /mount/point/you/just/found (user.group being the user and group...) and make sure it is set 744 (exec gets set on the file level normally) | 06:19 |
| AAA | er kindofabuzz 766 | 06:20 |
| Kurt | it'll be quite a while before chrome's available in linux though | 06:20 |
| tanath | it works fairly well in wine | 06:20 |
| Kurt | true, I mean natively | 06:20 |
| tanath | i didn't get flash working though | 06:20 |
| AAA | 1 = exec ; 2 = write ; 4 = read | 06:21 |
| mespejel | "There is no [emphasis in original] working Chromium-based browser on Linux," says the build documentation, in red type within a bordered box, no less. | 06:21 |
| Kurt | there ya go ;) but it's a stated intent to release a linux version (eventually) | 06:21 |
| tanath | they were forced to release early 'cause it was leaked | 06:22 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, but if the mount is in ~ already shouldn't i have access? | 06:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | mespejel: the code is there, there's just no UI to bundle it all up on anything but Windows right now | 06:22 |
| zynergi | you know | 06:23 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, ok i got it, thanks | 06:23 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz prolly not cause you mounted it as root. check ls -l ~/mount (or whatever0 | 06:23 |
| zynergi | i've never understood why its cheaper to rent a dedicated server w/ more bw than it is to colocate your OWN with less bw | 06:23 |
| blackdream | has anyone heard of 'unmass' it's an 3d model extractor for video games | 06:23 |
| tanath | i've installed music-applet, but i can't find it in the add to panel thing. am i doing it wrong? :P | 06:24 |
| masteredu | morning | 06:24 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz you'll have to umount /path ; mount /dev/foo /path for the perms to take affect | 06:24 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, i just did sudo chmod 766 ~/stuff | 06:25 |
| dade` | shouldn't there be ubuntu intrepid alpha 5 out ? | 06:25 |
| tanath | zynergi, bulk-buying & such = discounts? | 06:26 |
| prince_jammys | tanath: i don't know, but the description says it's a gnome-panel applet, so i assume it should be there. check if it has a man page. | 06:26 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz that will only change ~/stuff and not ~/stuff/morestuff | 06:26 |
| kindofabuzz | ahh | 06:26 |
| tanath | prince_jammys, nope | 06:26 |
| kindofabuzz | chmod -R? | 06:26 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz man chmod :) | 06:26 |
| prince_jammys | tanath: you installed it through apt? | 06:26 |
| tanath | prince_jammys, aptitude, yes | 06:27 |
| Pie-rate | iphone is pissing me off, there's no way at all to sync with it from linux and there's no way to run itunes well | 06:27 |
| Fused | Eww... | 06:27 |
| Fused | There's a slug in the house. | 06:27 |
| prince_jammys | tanath: sorry, i don't know. just threw out the man page suggestion, since some do have them. | 06:27 |
| Fused | rofl. | 06:27 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, now it seems like sdb1 isn't even associtaed with ~/stuff now | 06:28 |
| kindofabuzz | empty | 06:28 |
| tanath | prince_jammys, you'd think it would. package seems useless :-/ | 06:28 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz well, did you umount it? | 06:28 |
| tanath | anyone know of a decent gnome-panel applet to control media players/ | 06:28 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, yeah tehn i ran sudo mount -a | 06:28 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz is it in your /etc/fstab? | 06:29 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, yes | 06:29 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz with what perms =p | 06:29 |
| prince_jammys | tanath: if you're desperate, try dpkg -L music-applet. that'll show the files that were installed. perhaps it put some documentation in /usr/share/doc | 06:29 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz you chmod ~stuff NOT /dev/sdb1 ;) | 06:30 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, /dev/sdb1 /home/jason/stuff ext3 rw,users,exec 0 2 | 06:30 |
| prince_jammys | tanath: some kind of manual of FAQ | 06:30 |
| tanath | prince_jammys, i already did actually, but didn't think to look at that :-/ | 06:30 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz you did it while mounted, is it still the same perms? | 06:30 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, yes | 06:30 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz do $> mount /home/jason/stuff | 06:31 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz and then $> ls -ls /home/jason/stuff | 06:31 |
| tanath | prince_jammys, bah, just a little useless readme, with supported players | 06:31 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz d0h, ls -ld | 06:31 |
| prince_jammys | tanath: i predict this applet won't be installed for long ;) | 06:31 |
| tanath | prince_jammys, lol | 06:32 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, hmm i try to cd to it and i get permission denied | 06:32 |
| nnull | anyone tell me why firestarter FAILs on the boot sequence? says stopping firestarter done. starting firestarter fail... then fails again later | 06:32 |
| ahtmly2k | sudo apt-get install flash | 06:32 |
| tanath | prince_jammys, i might leave it and check again after it updates | 06:32 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz $> ls -ld /home/jason/stuff :: and paste the relevant output | 06:32 |
| mespejel | i found this for everyone who want to give a try to google chrome | 06:33 |
| mespejel | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5719331&postcount=45 | 06:33 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, drwxrw-rw- 12 root root 4096 2008-08-31 19:00 /home/jason/stuff | 06:33 |
| kindofabuzz | owned by root now | 06:33 |
| mespejel | i will try it right now, i hope it works | 06:33 |
| tanath | mespejel, does it say how to get flash working? | 06:33 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz yes, I see that ; $> umount /home/jason/stuff | 06:33 |
| ahtmly2k | how can i update my flash codec in terminal? | 06:33 |
| ahtmly2k | i cant watch metacafe.com | 06:33 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, ok dismounted | 06:34 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz ls -ld /home/jason/stuff and make sure it is proper | 06:34 |
| ahtmly2k | how can i update my flash codec in terminal? i cant watch metacafe.com | 06:34 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, ok jason now | 06:34 |
| tanath | ahtmly2k, sudo aptitude install flashplugin (or flashplugin-nonfree) | 06:34 |
| kindofabuzz | drwxr-xr-x 2 jason jason 4096 2008-08-21 21:52 /home/jason/stuff | 06:34 |
| tanath | ahtmly2k, run sudo aptitude update, to make sure package info is up-to-date | 06:35 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz $> fdisk -l /dev/sdb1 :: it shows a linux filesystem, right? | 06:35 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, Cannot open /dev/sdb1 | 06:36 |
| kindofabuzz | sudo? | 06:36 |
| tanath | nnull, firestarter is terrible. if you can deal without a GUI, try arno-iptables-firewall | 06:36 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz that is cause I'm drunk.. fdisk -l /dev/sdb | 06:36 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, same, should i sudo it? | 06:37 |
| Chaplin2 | ok problem | 06:37 |
| Kurt | *walks back in late* kindofbuzz I assume you've tried sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /some/other/place ? | 06:37 |
| Chaplin2 | ii only have one hd | 06:37 |
| nnull | tanath, pretty sure it comes installed with hardy :< had nothing ut trouble with it | 06:37 |
| Chaplin2 | i iunstal;led ubuntu on to that partioin | 06:37 |
| nnull | but* | 06:37 |
| Chaplin2 | installed | 06:37 |
| Chaplin2 | now i want to start fresh | 06:37 |

| kindofabuzz | Kurt, not yet, i had it mounted, just could'nt make folders | 06:37 |
| Chaplin2 | so i can isntlal vista fresh | 06:37 |
| Chaplin2 | how do i do that? | 06:37 |
| Chaplin2 | i screwed up | 06:37 |
| tanath | nnull, did it? i wouldn't know, i used ubuntu-minimal to get rid of things i didn't want | 06:37 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, yes linux system | 06:37 |
| Chaplin2 | and made my vista partioitn 30gb only | 06:38 |
| nnull | i need to know how to like reset ip tables to how they were when i got linux | 06:38 |
| bcl | I seem to have a problem :) Tried upgrading from 6.06LTS to 8.04LTS using the GUI upgrade tool. It appears to have hung while setting up ivman | 06:38 |
| amerinese | if i'm running ubuntu desktop right now, can someone tell me how i can go into console mode temporarily (i.e. not be running x server)? | 06:38 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz are you trying to mount this drive as your normal user? do this. $> sudo mount | grep stuff :: if it ain't listed do $> sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /home/jason/stuff ; dmesg | tail -n13 | 06:38 |
| salmon | 'v had ubuntu for almost half a year now and the funny thing is today was the first time i tried to play a dvd, it don't work. trying to play it in totem, when i try to play a dvd the program locks up and i have to force quit. what should i do? | 06:38 |
| prince_jammys | salmon: did you install the necessary libraries? | 06:39 |
| bcl | salmon: have you installed the non-free DVD support? | 06:39 |
| tanath | nnull, you can try 'sudo ubuntu-firewall stop' | 06:39 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, yes as a user, now with it mounted i get permission denied | 06:39 |
| tanath | nnull, i think the default just allows everything | 06:40 |
| salmon | i would have to say no on the support but thank you both | 06:40 |
| bcl | salmon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 06:40 |
| nnull | dont think so tanath | 06:40 |
| amerinese | what i'm looking for is probably the equivalent of rebooting windows in safe mode with command prompt only | 06:40 |
| amerinese | not sure what that's called in ubuntu | 06:40 |
| tanath | nnull, try 'sudo ubuntu-firewall restart' | 06:40 |
| prince_jammys | !medibuntu | salmon: you have to add the medibuntu repository: | 06:40 |
| ubottu | salmon: you have to add the medibuntu repository:: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 06:40 |
| bcl | amerinese: ctrl-alt-f1 | 06:41 |
| Kurt | kindofbuzz, are you in the fuse group? | 06:41 |
| alexk0 | i'm writing a test script for a program that takes console input, and i'd like to redirect both the input AND the output to a file. the input is echoed to the terminal but isn't actually contained in the output stream. is there a way to combine them? | 06:41 |
| tanath | bcl, not the same, and that doesn't tell him how to get back | 06:41 |
| bcl | amerinese: alt-f7 to return to X | 06:41 |
| kindofabuzz | Kurt, no idea what that is | 06:41 |
| tanath | ...there we go | 06:41 |
| clarence_ | The Ubuntu I have not been able to show the success of Ubuntu effects | 06:41 |
| tanath | amerinese, ctrl+alt+f7 though | 06:42 |
| kindofabuzz | Kurt, it was working until i came in here just wanting to create folders on it lol | 06:42 |
| prince_jammys | alexk0: ask in the irc channel of your script's language | 06:42 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz well, I'm not sure what is going on. I do know this, you should not be mounting drives in your homedir. you should be using /media or /mnt creating the mointpoints as with the appropriate group permisions. I really think your problem is that you are trying to mount a /dev in your homedir and your OS don't like it | 06:42 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, it was working! lol | 06:42 |
| djhash | amerinese: what you want is basically single user mode.. you can choose it in grub. | 06:42 |
| Kurt | try going to System > Administration > Users and Groups and adding yourself to the fuse group | 06:43 |
| kindofabuzz | me? | 06:43 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz you still shouldn't be mounting devices in your homedir!! | 06:43 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, why not? | 06:43 |
| alexk0 | prince_jammys: it's just a shell script, and i think it has more to do with input/output streams than the shell | 06:43 |
| bcl | AAA you can mount anywhere. | 06:43 |
| prince_jammys | alexk0: how are you reading the input? | 06:43 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz because it is very nonstanard and stuff you can't think of now will break one day because of it, ,trust me ;) | 06:44 |
| bcl | they just won't get 'managed', you'll have to manually umount them. | 06:44 |
| AAA | bcl yup | 06:44 |
| alexk0 | prince_jammys: the program being tested is a Java program, it gets its input from standard input | 06:44 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, so just mountin a hd i use just for storage in a home dir will break? | 06:44 |
| AAA | bcl mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp works, but you prolly don't wanna do it ;) | 06:44 |
| kindofabuzz | evidently it will, was working until you had me chowning and chmodinging lol | 06:45 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz not necessarily, it is just a poor practice | 06:45 |
| bcl | AAA: It depends on what you are trying to do, in that case you'll lose the X sockets at the least. | 06:45 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, ok help me fix this then please | 06:45 |
| geekk | newbie: Can anyone here help with PC to TV(lcd42") vga to vga | 06:45 |
| AAA | bcl just saying, there is a structure for reasons | 06:46 |
| bcl | anyone with a clue to my upgrade trouble? hanging at setting up ivman? | 06:46 |
| kindofabuzz | anywasy | 06:46 |
| djhash | !anyone | geekk | 06:46 |
| ubottu | geekk: 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? | 06:46 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz no, it was not working :) | 06:47 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, it was working, alot better than it is now! now i get nothing lol | 06:47 |
| kindofabuzz | i can't even cd to it | 06:47 |
| bcl | kindofabuzz: what are you trying to do? | 06:48 |
| kindofabuzz | well i was just trying to make it to where i can create folders in a drive i have mounted | 06:48 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz then $> mkdir -p /mnt/stuff ; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/stuff | 06:48 |
| clarence_ | 06:48 | |
| clarence_ | How can we have all the Ubuntu set of special effects | 06:48 |
| kindofabuzz | but now i can't even see the stuff in the drive | 06:48 |
| clarence_ | How can we have all the Ubuntu set of special effects | 06:48 |
| amerinese | so ctrl+alt+f1 is a really neat trick, only thing is, how can i go into console mode but no longer be running x-server? | 06:48 |
| Flannel | amerinese: once there, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm tsop | 06:48 |
| Flannel | amerinese: er, stop. | 06:49 |
| bcl | kindofabuzz: is it still mounted? check output of mount | 06:49 |
| bcl | amerinese: init 3 | 06:49 |
| amerinese | flannel: ok, thanks a bunch | 06:49 |
| AAA | amerinese /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 06:49 |
| djhash | amerinese: in grub choose "single" | 06:49 |
| bcl | that will restart init without X | 06:49 |
| powertool08 | AAA: I suppose I found my problem | 06:49 |
| djhash | amerinese: you want the single user mode.. | 06:49 |
| AAA | powertool08 yeah? | 06:49 |
| amerinese | cool, thanks guys | 06:49 |
| kindofabuzz | ok just mounted it to /mnt/stuff, permission denied when cd'n into it | 06:49 |
| Flannel | clarence_: What do you mean? | 06:49 |
| Flannel | single user mode is *not* the same as "just without X" | 06:49 |
| powertool08 | AAA: Well some more googling turned up an email from somebody with the same problem | 06:50 |
| rogerroger | init 1 != init 3 | 06:50 |
| powertool08 | AAA: The host keys should be generated _without_ a passphrase, because | 06:50 |
| powertool08 | otherwise sshd can't load them. | 06:50 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz you have to chmod /mnt/stuff to the same group your user is in before you mount it | 06:50 |
| clarence_ | Who wanna talk to me? | 06:50 |
| djhash | Flannel: his first question was about getting something like in windows, safe mode with command prompt only.. that is single user mode.. | 06:50 |
| Kurt | kindofbuzz, have you tried changing ownership to yourself? | 06:50 |
| Flannel | rogerroger: Ubuntu runlevels 2-5 are the same. | 06:51 |
| kindofabuzz | Kurt, you know you can use tab to autocomplete so you get my name right and so i see it =) | 06:51 |
| powertool08 | AAA: makes sense I suppose, but I'm alittle bit password crazy | 06:51 |
| bcl | amerinese: actually on ubuntu I'm not sure if 3 is right, their inittab defaults to 2 so you many not be able to do that. | 06:51 |
| AAA | powertool08 I have created many ssh keys for sshd without a passphrase, it does work. | 06:51 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, so sudo chmod -R jason:jason /mnt/stuff | 06:51 |
| Kurt | haha sorry | 06:51 |
| kindofabuzz | ? | 06:51 |
| powertool08 | AAA: Ya but I was trying to create the host key with a passphrase | 06:51 |
| AAA | powertool08 /dev/urandum and entropy FTW! | 06:51 |
| Flannel | clarence_: This channel is not for chatting. #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to go to chat. | 06:52 |
| amerinese | bcl: thanks for the heads up, if there's the option in grub i can select it manually or otherwise i will just stop gdm | 06:52 |
| djhash | !tw | clarence_ | 06:52 |
| ubottu | clarence_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 06:52 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz no! chmod acts on files, you want chown! | 06:52 |
| bcl | kindofabuzz: that recursivly changed ownership of all the files on the drive, which may not be what you wanted. | 06:52 |
| kindofabuzz | damnit, so what do i do? lol | 06:52 |
| Kurt | sudo chown <your username> /directory | 06:53 |
| bcl | amerinese: /etc/inittab is what controls which init level. id:2:initdefault: | 06:53 |
| bcl | kindofabuzz: is the drive empty? is it mounted? | 06:53 |
| Flannel | bcl: Only on dapper | 06:53 |
| djhash | bcl: why confuse the person more.. a simple question only deserves a simple answer.. safe mode command prompt only == single user mode.. | 06:54 |
| kindofabuzz | bcl, there we go, i just had to rechown it | 06:54 |
| clarence_ | I found that I simply open the xchat will automatically connect to this channel | 06:54 |
| tanath | anyone know a decent gnome applet to control media players? | 06:54 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz chown and chmod are totally differetn, you are using them interchangably it seems | 06:54 |
| tanath | music-applet appears nonfunctional | 06:54 |
| bcl | djhash: because they many not know all the options. | 06:54 |
| djhash | clarence_: yes.. it is setup by default like that in ubuntu. | 06:54 |
| bcl | single user isn't really safe anyway :) | 06:54 |
| kindofabuzz | AAA, well i just did chown jason /mnt/stuff and all seems well | 06:55 |
| kindofabuzz | why didn't you just say that in the first place? lol | 06:55 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz you get what you pay for! ;) | 06:55 |
| kindofabuzz | now i should have rw,users,exec in fstab correct? and all should be ok? | 06:56 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz I sure didn't do it on purpose =p | 06:56 |
| clarence_ | I did not want to chat, I just want to ask questions only | 06:56 |
| Kurt | kindofabuzz: that's a hack...you shouldn't have to do that | 06:56 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz yah | 06:56 |
| kindofabuzz | well i had mount rw,users,exec in the first place but couldn't create files or folders | 06:56 |
| Losowski | Hi | 06:56 |
| Kurt | normally when you mount devices, they are still owned by root (just with permissions given for normal users) | 06:57 |
| kindofabuzz | oh maybe because ~/stuff was owned by root even though it was in ~? but that was my original question. should't have rw,users,exec "overridden" that? | 06:57 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz I dunno, that looks right to me I dont have anything to sanity check it against tho | 06:57 |
| Losowski | ok, important question which will help me decide which to install: Which OS operates 'faster" (not referring to boot time, but speed in running desktop applications, etc)...Ubuntu or OpenSuse...your answeres would be greatly appreciated...Thank you! | 06:58 |
| kindofabuzz | Losowski, that's like asking what color is the best | 06:58 |
| Losowski | kindofabuzz: It isn't | 06:58 |
| tanath | Losowski, shouldn't be much difference, and depends which apps you run | 06:58 |
| AAA | kindofabuzz you prolly created the mount point as sudo? | 06:58 |
| Losowski | Because the fastest OS I've used in FreeBSDE | 06:59 |
| Kurt | Losowski: I switched from OpenSuSE to Ubuntu a couple of years ago...at least at the time, I noticed an improvement in runtime with Ubuntu over OpenSuSE | 06:59 |
| Losowski | *FreeBSD | 06:59 |
| AAA | Losowski how did you see that? | 06:59 |
| kindofabuzz | Losowski, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, plenty there tthat will discuss | 06:59 |
| Losowski | tanath: Let's use OpenOffice for example, Inkscape, Gimp | 06:59 |
| AAA | Losowski ok. but that ain't linux nor ubuntu | 07:00 |
| Losowski | AAA: There are many cpu perfomance programs out there | 07:00 |
| tanath | Losowski, the same app on different *nixes shouldn't be much different. i meant if you were using, say, a kde app instead of a similar gnome version | 07:00 |
| Losowski | AAA: Well, I'm only comparing Ubuntu and OpenSuse | 07:00 |
| tanath | Losowski, or a leightweight environment & window manager, as opposed to gnome or kde | 07:00 |
| shadow420 | how can backup every piece of software I have installed through sudo apt-get install and in Add/Remove appilcations | 07:00 |
| Kurt | not true. Depending upon other processes running on a fresh install, the amount of time it takes to start and run the same program on different distros while take differing amounts of time | 07:01 |
| AAA | Losowski I have nothing but troll for ya ;) | 07:01 |
| Losowski | I think it's a valid question, "which performs faster' ? | 07:02 |
| Losowski | In fact, speed is most important to me...not graphical eye candy | 07:03 |
| pauLabz_ | hey | 07:03 |
| tanath | Losowski, if you want the best speed for your hardware, you might be best with an optimized build of slackware. it would take forever to compile everything though | 07:03 |
| Losowski | I couldn't care less of OpenSuse has an elegant graphical installer for example | 07:03 |
| rebel_kid | my computer just keeps locking up on me, i have no idea why | 07:03 |
| bcl | rebel_kid: powersupply is going bad. | 07:03 |
| oon_s | gjhkj | 07:03 |
| bazhang | Losowski, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic not here | 07:04 |
| rebel_kid | bcl, u serious its locking up as in the os and applications are freezing how is that power supply? | 07:04 |
| thorny_su1 | how do i figure out where an executable file resides? is there a simple command? | 07:04 |

| speedhunt3r | hi | 07:04 |
| tanath | thorny_su1, 'which app' | 07:04 |
| thorny_su1 | tanath: thank you!!! | 07:05 |
| speedhunt3r | I have a simple problem, don | 07:05 |
| bcl | when the power to the cpu is flakey it commonly causes everything to freeze. | 07:05 |
| rebel_kid | bcl, damn it everything on this hunk a junk is dieing | 07:05 |
| Losowski | bazhang: My question is not off topic | 07:05 |
| rebel_kid | bcl, thanks guess i need a new power supply | 07:05 |
| Losowski | bazhang: I think it is a valid, relevant question | 07:05 |
| shadow420 | hey bazhang | 07:05 |
| bazhang | Losowski, what is your ubuntu support question then | 07:06 |
| speedhunt3r | don't know how to fix it... If banshee is running, any video i try to run in vlc...has no audio. If vlc is open, and I start banshee...it can't play any songs... it's either one or the other that can work at one time... how can I fix this? | 07:06 |
| bazhang | hi shadow420 | 07:06 |
| Losowski | There are some Linux distros out there that are 'bloated', and run slower than others | 07:06 |
| Losowski | OpenSuse seems bloated compared to Ubuntu | 07:07 |
| shadow420 | rebel_kid your system couldn't be bad as mine | 07:07 |
| bazhang | Losowski, that is a chat topic suited to #ubuntu-offtopic ; this is a support channel only. | 07:07 |
| Losowski | ok bazhang, thanks | 07:07 |
| tanath | Losowski, technically, you can customize any linux distro | 07:07 |

| negge | I have a problem with a cron job. I want to run the command "ntpdate ntp.eunet.fi >> /home/sam/Files/ntpupdate.log 2>&1" every two hours. If I run it manually, it works just like it should, but when cron runs it, the log says "/bin/sh: ntpdate: not found"... How is that possible? | 07:11 |
| powertool08 | Is the correct syntax for scp? scp -vvv desktopuser@desktop:/path/to/remote/file localuser@locallappy:/path/to/anywhere | 07:11 |
| clarence__ | I have downloaded | 07:11 |
| tanath | negge, sounds like cron is running sh in front of your command, and therefore looking for a script called ntpdate | 07:12 |
| tanath | negge, try gnome-schedule | 07:12 |
| powertool08 | It tries to connect, prompts for password, and loses the connection after I enter password, tho debug says authentication succeeded | 07:12 |
| powertool08 | do I have to have an ssh server on both hosts to transfer via scp? | 07:13 |

| oon_s | hkrfigore | 07:21 |
| oon_s | ubuntu is the best.. | 07:21 |
| unop | mordof, you can only set the group that way .. make the parent directory setgid | 07:22 |
| mordof | unop: that's what i need | 07:22 |
| Aeron_wwap | Flannel, what file system types? i think it has 512mb ram | 07:22 |
| mordof | unop: k.. hmm. i'll google that to find the command, ty | 07:23 |
| unop | mordof, chmod g+s directory | 07:23 |
| mordof | ah ok, ty ^^ | 07:23 |
| Flannel | Aeron_wwap: 1G of swap for 512M ram. ext3 for the other two (swap for swap) Basically, you need about 10-20G for / and the rest can be home. | 07:23 |

| KlimJay | m0u5e: So another words, I might as well wait? | 07:38 |

| m0u5e | KlimJay: why dont you try hardy now? | 07:38 |
| m0u5e | KlimJay: its nice | 07:38 |

| m0u5e | o__O; | 07:39 |
| lint | d1g1talpsyko: no way to do so | 07:39 |
| Flannel | KlimJay: You'll likely want to do Hardy then, and stick with it for at least a month after Intrepid is released. The first few weeks are rather update-heavy | 07:39 |
| KlimJay | m0u5e: I have 2-5 AM of free downloading at about 122 KB/sec (IE: about 400 MBs per hour) | 07:39 |

| KlimJay | Torrents and eMule, and some other P2P screw up my HN7000S somehow. | 07:40 |
| KlimJay | (Sat modem) | 07:40 |
| Flannel | KlimJay: I'd strongly recommend you try Hardy. And also, if you like it enough, you can stick with it for two whole years and be able to upgrade directly to 10.04 when it comes out. | 07:41 |
| KlimJay | But, I have been thinking that Xubuntu could be the best bet, I could add everything I wanted and use it more like a "basic" version. | 07:41 |
| KlimJay | And the GUI would make it faster? | 07:41 |
| m0u5e | KlimJay: mmm kinda... ive used xubuntu before | 07:41 |
| KlimJay | perhaps? | 07:41 |
| m0u5e | KlimJay: and ive tried xubuntu hardy as well | 07:41 |
| m0u5e | KlimJay: i recommend trying hardy with gnome though, gnomes gotton a lot better | 07:42 |
| seekingtruth | hello sinners | 07:42 |

| m0u5e | KlimJay: 1286.71875 to be exact :D | 07:53 |
| KlimJay | m0u5e: that is about right, unless someone hops on to one of the other computers to do basic serfing. | 07:54 |

| adammw111 | Hi, I can't get my network card to work anymore. What steps should I try to resolve this? | 08:06 |
| Flannel | ahtmly2k: go to synaptic, and search for "thinkfinger" there's a few packages, libraries, tools, etc. | 08:06 |
| ubuntu_ | Flannel: when I look @ the gparted report, I see the orignal partition that my working install of Ubuntu is located on /dev/sda4 or @ /media/disk | 08:07 |
| Flannel | ahtmly2k: you can use "apt-cache search thinkfinger" to search in the terminal, yes. | 08:07 |
| cryingtux | Flannel: do you have clue for my issue? | 08:07 |
| wers | will an X3100 be enough for pcsx2? | 08:07 |

| larry | I'm running 8.10 alpha 4, all nice and updated | 08:21 |
| OmfgItsAShark | i thought it wasnt gnome though | 08:21 |
| Flannel | ahtmly2k: you may or may not have to enable the PAM module, check /usr/share/doc/libpam-thinkfinger/README.Debian, and then thinkfinger-tools installed tf-tool, which you can use to enroll/etc | 08:21 |
| crdlb | mrkiko: for xubuntu? :) | 08:21 |

| hypernewbie | 8.04 apache package could do with better default config | 08:23 |
| crdlb | OmfgItsAShark: I don't know anything about xfce | 08:23 |

| platius | OmfgItsAShark, http://www.xfce.org/documentation/ you might look here | 08:23 |
| dirty_bob | quick question, if my built in wifi card isnt on the supported list, would it even pic up the wireless signal from my router? im showing nothing | 08:23 |

| hypernewbie | it should start right away | 08:23 |
| Flannel | OmfgItsAShark: not to you | 08:23 |
| Flannel | hypernewbie: it does | 08:23 |
| hypernewbie | but no, u gotta config file before it starts | 08:23 |

| dusty_ | Morning all. What is the correct what to install and configure dual monitor (22" LCD and 14" CRT doing 1680x1050 / 1024x768) in Ubuntu 8.04: ATI Technologies Inc Mobilitiy Radeon HD 3450 <-- that is my card, I have been reading mixed opinions some say use xrandr, some say use opensource drivers so same use closed source, I am at a loss as to which route is the best ? | 08:24 |
| mrkiko | dirty_bob: if you card is not displayed as a wifi interface, it will do nothing | 08:25 |
| * mrkiko tries the bot command :D | 08:25 | |
| mrkiko | !wifi | 08:26 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 08:26 |

| mrkiko | Kartagis: infact I told it was a guess... | 08:29 |
| Kartagis | mrkiko> the problem is i did LANG=EN make before and that didn't work | 08:30 |
| mrkiko | Kartagis: aniway it all depends upon the apps make will call | 08:30 |
| mrkiko | Kartagis: I don't know if my english is clean enough to be understood | 08:30 |

| Pirate_Hunter | hi trying to setup dansguardian based on this tut http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=207008 but just wondering do i really need firehol considering it is another firewall just like ufw? | 08:33 |
| Gargantua | mrkiko, really? | 08:33 |
| dirty_bob | mrkiko pm sent with info on wifi card | 08:33 |
| nileshpatil | yes its again a firewall | 08:33 |
| Gargantua | do you use one of those programs that read things out to you? | 08:33 |
| nileshpatil | Pirate_Hunter : what is your basic requirement? | 08:34 |
| mrkiko | Gargantua: yes, see brltty | 08:34 |
| XGas | wow, awesome. | 08:34 |
| Gargantua | mrkiko, does it read things like "* yacc (n=andreas@ip-80-226-13-194.vodafone-net.de) has joined #ubuntu"? | 08:35 |
| Gargantua | That would get really anoying. | 08:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | nileshpatil: huh? im just using dansguardian to filter content from the kids but based on that tut i need firehol i dont see the point if it is the same as ufw and i could simply input the iptable command direct into the system | 08:35 |
| XGas | and time consuming | 08:35 |
| === SoulSlayer is now known as anewbie | ||
| mrkiko | Gargantua: yes; infact I should set up the client to ignore them | 08:36 |
| Gargantua | mrkiko, als0 doez it annoi u wen ppl dunt spell thigs rite | 08:36 |

| Gargantua | oh | 08:36 |
| Gargantua | mrkiko, how about when people use smilies? | 08:37 |

| mrkiko | Gargantua: ohoho :D there are much more important things I will not experience. Aniway, for me smileis makes no sense, they are only combination of signs | 08:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can i have ufw and firehol running at the same time considering they are just frontend to iptables "i think they are frontends"? | 08:38 |
| Gargantua | mrkiko, I hear people that are blind develop better sense over-all, so no worries :) | 08:38 |
| Gargantua | I bet the command-line interface of linux is easier for blind people. | 08:39 |
| dirty_bob | i would imagine it would be. unless you me, i can see and i still get lost | 08:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Gargantua: if they are blind how can they read cat or error response? | 08:40 |
| mrkiko | Gargantua: yes | 08:40 |
| Gargantua | Pirate_Hunter, follow the conversation? | 08:40 |
| mrkiko | Pirate_Hunter: see brltty | 08:40 |
| Gargantua | he has it setup so it reads things | 08:40 |
| nileshpatil | yes | 08:40 |

| rampageoberon | m0u5e: no its quite logical, as i can't see what logic subtract would use in regards to referencing | 08:55 |
| rampageoberon | m0u5e: you could always write your own function if need be and name it SUB | 08:56 |

| ubottu | krishna: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:56 |
| zcat[1] | krishna: you use whatever is the IP address of the smachine squid is running on.. you can set it up as 192.168.1.254 if you want.. | 08:56 |
| m0u5e | rampageoberon: no because for example i have a spreadsheet of numbers, and i want to find the difference between the two | 08:56 |
| zcat[1] | krishna: or 10.1.1.1 or 10.9.8.7 even | 08:56 |
| m0u5e | rampageoberon: i dont want to change my original value, i need the program to subtract the two to see if my difference is positive or negative | 08:56 |
| rampageoberon | m0u5e: so you have just 2 numbers? or a list of numbers? | 08:57 |
| m0u5e | rampageoberon: it was just an example, but i have a list of numbers | 08:57 |
| T2 | heelo, what other programs can i use in ubuntu instead of itunes to upload video files onto an iphone? | 08:57 |

| m0u5e | rampageoberon: i just want to subtract a list of numbers (sorry if im confusing you) | 08:58 |
| rampageoberon | m0u5e: subtract them from what, and is it possible to see a sample file i could try help more after i look at the structure of the sheet (you can change labels and values) | 08:59 |
| krishna | say if my adsl default gw is 192.168.1.1 | 09:00 |
| m0u5e | rampageoberon: okay so lets say i have value which is stored in A1, i want A1 to be subtracted by B1:F1 | 09:00 |
| m0u5e | rampageoberon: err okay let me pastebin lol | 09:00 |
| zcat[1] | krishna: what's the IP address of the machine that is running squid? | 09:00 |

| krishna | first of all i need to install squid on this sam machine | 09:01 |
| krishna | but then i am on a network | 09:01 |
| zcat[1] | krishna: First of all, add this to your squid conf; acl our_networks src 192.168.1.0/24 | 09:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how can i find out in terminal which directory is firefox.cfg located in? | 09:02 |
| amerinese | anyone have experience using an nvidia card to run two monitors? i'd like to map a workspace to each monitor... is that possible? | 09:02 |
| zcat[1] | krishna: and then add this; http_access allow our_networks | 09:03 |
| krishna | zcat..thats too complex for me... | 09:03 |
| krishna | im a zero in linux | 09:03 |
| zcat[1] | krishna: that will allow anyone in the 192.168.1.0-255 network to access the progy. | 09:03 |
| Xcerca | amerinese can't you use nvidia-settings ? | 09:04 |
| Xcerca | it's best to sudo nvidia-settinfs | 09:05 |
| amerinese | xcerca: it's set to twinview right now... i mean, i don't see anything about workspaces | 09:05 |
| krishna | that means if adsl ip is 192.168.1.1 then can the proxy serve it on the same series of 192.168.1.3 onwards? | 09:05 |
| krishna | upto 255? | 09:05 |
| bolrog | anybody know what target to write in a makefile to get make to compile all of the sources in a directory into their corresponding objects in another directory? | 09:05 |
| zcat[1] | krishna: well setting up a squid proxy requires some basic network knowledge. You might need to learn up a little or get someone to help you. Is there a LUG in your area? | 09:05 |
| Xcerca | amerinese that would be a gnome or compiz setting | 09:05 |
| amerinese | xcerca: yeah not sudo'ing really tripped me up | 09:06 |
| zr0gee | Can anyone tell me if the "Hibernate" button in the power-down-menu, is actually a true hibernation (meaning, it will safely power off my pc and save my progress), or do I still need to have power attached to it ? :p | 09:06 |
| rampageoberon | m0u5e: done the paste? | 09:06 |
| amerinese | it should be on by default or else you can't save settings | 09:06 |
| krishna | i know a person who helps me out but he is also not too sure about how to get GUI for squid | 09:06 |
| zcat[1] | krishna: yes .. 192.168.1.0/24 means all of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 will be aqble to access the proxy | 09:06 |
| krishna | thats gr8 | 09:06 |
| Otacon22 | hola | 09:06 |
| zcat[1] | I don't know of any GUI for squid. webmin might have some plugin for it.. | 09:07 |
| nileshpatil | squidguard | 09:07 |

| nileshpatil | <zcat : TRY SQUIDGUARD | 09:07 |
| nileshpatil | zcat : even | 09:07 |
| zcat[1] | ummm squidguard is something totally different.. not a GUI configuration tool at all | 09:08 |

| nate_ | i installed a theme for ubuntu and its messed up my firefox the games are not the right colors how do i get rid of the theme on firefox? | 09:09 |
| zcat[1] | krishna: squidguard and/or dansguardian are filters for stopping people from accessing 'bad websites' through the proxy. | 09:09 |
| krishna | hoho | 09:09 |
| krishna | im sorry | 09:09 |
| krishna | anyways | 09:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | does firefox use the same directory for /usr/share/doc/firefox-3.0/firefox.cfg on all users or does it look elsewhere for each user? | 09:09 |
| krishna | i installed it | 09:09 |
| krishna | but im dying to know how to get it to gui | 09:10 |
| krishna | cos im zero in cli | 09:10 |
| zr0gee | bolrog: thanks alot - that's all I wanted to know | 09:10 |

| Metatron | do i stick it on the end or something, like imap.server.com:port | 10:26 |
| pajamian | ubunt3: well, there may be a way to customize the live CD, I haven't tried it. To be honest I don't recommend using the live CD on a regular basis, imo it's good for trialling ubuntu and for rescue, and recovery operations, etc. | 10:26 |
| Metatron | i thought there was a way to save a session to a file or usb device with live CD | 10:27 |
| pajamian | Metatron: maybe, I don't know | 10:27 |

| pajamian | xkpe: I would try taking it off roaming mode and change it to either static or DHCP | 10:35 |
| pajamian | stetho: I think there's a setting that controls what application gets launched when an audio CD is inserted, it is set by default to Audio CD Extractor, you can write your own shell script and set it to that instead. | 10:36 |
| stetho | pajamian: The box is built on Ubuntu server not a desktop version. Any ideas where this setting might be? | 10:38 |
| pajamian | stetho: hrmmmm, not right off the top of my head. Maybe it's in fstab or a property of automount | 10:39 |
| stetho | That's a good point. It's likely to be automount. I'll have a dig round. Thanks for your suggestions | 10:39 |

| pajamian | [nrx]: ok, if they are badly scratched you can take them to a video store and they will usually run them through their resurfacing machine for about $5 or less... | 10:43 |
| pajamian | [nrx]: you can use dd to copy the contents to a .iso image file | 10:43 |
| [nrx] | pajamian, not scratched :) - can't even read them properly. I get errors: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0 | 10:44 |
| pajamian | [nrx]: you can use conv=noerror with dd to get it to continue to copy the rest of the disk after it encounters an error. | 10:44 |
| [nrx] | I can't even mount it though :s | 10:44 |
| pajamian | [nrx]: you don't need to mount it for dd | 10:45 |
| [nrx] | can I PM you? | 10:45 |
| pajamian | [nrx]: once it copies you can try to mount the .iso image as loopback | 10:45 |

| clarence1 | Do compiz fusion support ATI mobility X600 SE | 11:02 |
| Gourlis | how can i see if i have compiz fusion still installed on ubuntu? and how can i remove it if i want ubuntu later to be default? | 11:02 |

| onlooker | Hey. I have a problem. My max resolution was for some reason 1024*768 on my GeForce 2 MX 400. I googled around and found this site: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xresprobe/+bug/49827 . Following the instructions, I've successfully upped my resolution, but now 3D stuff won't work. Any ideas? | 11:06 |

| _MacTavish_ | Hi | 11:07 |
| mizipzor | in Transmission, how do I add additional trackers to a torrent? | 11:07 |
| sinan | there is something i don't understand. Doesn't X start before i login? How is it supposed to know what .xinitrc file to read, supposing i put it in my home folder? | 11:07 |
| XGas | mizipzor: See the Information section for the torrent | 11:08 |
| mizipzor | XGas: in the file? | 11:08 |
| _MacTavish_ | Pancake | 11:08 |
| abe3k | hi, is there a terminal command or a tool that puts a string in the clipboard ? | 11:08 |
| favro | sinan: afaik X starts after you login | 11:08 |
| XGas | mizipzor: no, the torrent. | 11:08 |
| XGas | mizipzor: after you added it into Transmission | 11:08 |
| sinan | favro: how does the gdmgreeter render, then? (i am actually asking :) ) | 11:09 |
| soundray | !info xsel | abe3k | 11:09 |
| ubottu | abe3k: xsel (source: xsel): command-line tool to access X clipboard and selection buffers. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.0-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 18 kB, installed size 80 kB | 11:09 |
| _MacTavish_ | Boringly | 11:09 |
| mizipzor | XGas: i have a button called "Details", thats what you mean? I poked around a bit in there but couldnt find anything | 11:09 |
| abe3k | thank you guys | 11:09 |
| XGas | mizipzor: Yeah, that one | 11:09 |
| favro | sinan: it is limited to 16 colors until X starts afaik - so is limited to the vt colors | 11:10 |
| _MacTavish_ | Nono why be silent? | 11:10 |

| jigp | hello how to hide the users from login bar?when i start my ubuntu there is a wizard that you will choose your nick which one to login into..how to hide my user name?thanks | 11:12 |
| muxer | Would a working xorg.conf in Ubuntu work in FreeBSD also? | 11:12 |
| Metatron | muxer, ive never tried but i would say it could work | 11:13 |
| Blink | Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 and I want to install Ubuntu. But when I insert the CD and choose "Install Ubuntu" from the menu, it freezes there. | 11:13 |
| Blink | Is that a known issue? | 11:13 |
| morningwalker | ssh isnt working for me | 11:14 |
| muxer | Metatron Alright, I guess I'll give it a shot anyway | 11:14 |
| morningwalker | how can i reinstall ssh? | 11:14 |
| XGas | mizipzor: Ah, it seem that you cannot add it in Transmission, you can try a different Bittorrent client like Deluge for example. | 11:14 |
| VSpike | jigp: System->Administration->Login Window | 11:14 |
| soundray | morningwalker: describe the problem | 11:14 |
| _MacTavish_ | Ha | 11:15 |
| mizipzor | XGas: ill take a look at deluge, thanks :) | 11:15 |
| Metatron | connecting via ssh to the machine or to a remote machine | 11:15 |
| _MacTavish_ | Hm | 11:15 |
| soundray | jigp: like VSpike says, then on the Users tab, disable face browsing | 11:15 |
| XGas | Strange thing is, I remember seeing that option in Transmission | 11:15 |
| morningwalker | soundray, after executing the command ssh (usrname)@(ipaddress) | 11:15 |
| morningwalker | there is no reply | 11:15 |
| XGas | hmm, might be a different built | 11:15 |
| _MacTavish_ | Nono | 11:15 |
| soundray | morningwalker: you have to have sshd running on the machine to which you are trying to connect | 11:15 |
| CanisLupus | morninwalker, reinstall: sudo aptitude reinstall ssh | 11:15 |
| soundray | morningwalker: try 'sudo apt-get install ssh' to put that in place | 11:16 |
| jigp | soundray : im not using gnome. im using kde... VSpike | 11:16 |
| mizipzor | XGas: apt-get didnt find deluge, is it in there? | 11:16 |
| VSpike | morningwalker: sudo apt-get purge openssh-client && sudo apt-get install open ssh-client | 11:16 |
| VSpike | morningwalker: assuming you mean client, not server | 11:16 |
| Metatron | make sure the ssh machine doesnt have the ports blocked by a firewall, and of course like soundray said, its running threre, test from a diffrent mahcine if u can | 11:16 |
| soundray | jigp: are you using kdm or gdm for logging in? | 11:16 |
| VSpike | morningwalker: that will nuke most settings for ssh too | 11:16 |
| jigp | kdm | 11:16 |
| XGas | mizipzor: Full name in Ubuntu repo is: deluge-torrent | 11:16 |
| sinan | i have created a .xinitrc in my home folder, and put this inside (http://pastie.org/266550), which to my understanding should present me with a terminal when i login, but it simply loads a normal gnome interface. What am i doing wrong? | 11:16 |
| soundray | jigp: your question may be best asked in #kubuntu | 11:17 |
| morningwalker | Vspike nuke?? | 11:17 |
| mizipzor | XGas: thanks, just fond that on the forum... is there a way to search in the repo? | 11:17 |
| VSpike | morningwalker: if you want to really purge all settings, do "rm -r ~/.ssh" too | 11:17 |
| VSpike | morningwalker: as in purge | 11:17 |
| VSpike | morningwalker: remove | 11:17 |

| VSpike | jigp: there's a similar tool in kde control panel | 11:18 |
| XGas | mizipzor: Nope, I don't know, you can still use aptitude to search though. | 11:18 |
| jigp | soundray : no no..i am using ubuntu and i just install the kde.im in gnome actually..i just select the kde :D | 11:18 |
| VSpike | jigp: do you get the kde login window or the gnome one? | 11:19 |
| sinan | Any can help me with xinitrc? I have created a .xinitrc in my home folder, and put this inside (http://pastie.org/266550), which to my understanding should present me with a terminal when i login, but it simply loads a normal gnome interface. What am i doing wrong? | 11:19 |

| jokkaa | Could anyone help me how i can change the permissions on my harddrives? i have a new one and its automounted with my old ones, but i cant read and write in it. any help? | 11:19 |
| soundray | morningwalker: please try my suggestion before you do any reinstalling | 11:20 |
| Metatron | sinana, all i can say is ubunut doesnt behave like many other distro's on how it boots and handles run levels, i still dont get it all they way | 11:20 |
| soundray | !newdrive | jokkaa | 11:20 |
| ubottu | jokkaa: For help with adding a new hard disk drive to an installed system, refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive - see also !fstab | 11:20 |
| Kira[work] | Does Ubuntu store some kind of hardware ID of the SMBus controller somewhere? | 11:21 |
| morningwalker | soundray' m running sudo apt-get install ssh now | 11:22 |
| soundray | sinan: by default, ubuntu ignores this and runs the default session. Try changing the session at login -- Failsafe gives you a terminal session. | 11:22 |
| VSpike | jigp: then you need to use the kde control panel tool or edit kdmrc directly .. http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-workspace/kdm/kdm-files.html | 11:23 |

| soundray | Kira[work]: I don't really know, but I would look under /proc/bus/ | 11:23 |
| jokkaa | the "etc/fstab" for my old drive and new are the same except drive names... one is sdc1 other is sda1, what could be wrong? | 11:24 |
| sinan | soundray: how do i change the session at login? | 11:24 |
| soundray | jokkaa: did you look at the page ubottu gave you? | 11:24 |
| soundray | sinan: click on Options at the bottom left | 11:25 |
| jokkaa | yeah but its confusing me | 11:25 |
| jokkaa | lol nvm. i was on wron glink ^^ | 11:25 |

| monostone | I somehow managed to mess up the keymappings for my logitech USB G11 keyboard media keys. Xorg.0.log is beggining to report a "(II) Unreported Prefix0 scancode: 0x22" message, i investigated a bit and saw that the hex codes the messages print are the keydown scancode of the media keys as detected by running "showkey -s". BUT xev does NOT detect the media keys anymore, on the other hand in gnome keyboard shortcuts the keys ARE dete | 11:29 |
| monostone | cted, also running "lshal -m" does detect the keysym for all the media keys. Media players like Rythymbox continue to have the media keys working, but totem has lost them. Any pointers as to what the problem is? could this be a kernel keymap issue? or since the message appears in my Xorg.0.log, is it a X issue? | 11:29 |
| VSpike | jigp: oh, you want to hide just yours? | 11:31 |
| VSpike | jigp: not sure if you can do that | 11:32 |
| jigp | VSpike : yeah hehehe | 11:32 |
| B|ackPanther | can anyone tell me why "man fgets" says there is no manual entry for fgets ? | 11:32 |

| jigp | soundray : how to hide the nick or loginname? | 11:38 |
| ushimitsudoki | Why would an application run the process when i launch it, but not draw it's window? However if I run it as root it runs both the process and shows the window? | 11:38 |

| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 11:43 |

| ushimitsudoki | jrib: it looks like those directories belong to me. I did delete the config file tho, while trying to get it working | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | soundray: tried lynx2 | 11:44 |

| MarcoZ | That'd be an option, but i don't know how to set it up correctly. | 11:58 |
| MarcoZ | besides i'm on windows | 11:58 |
| albech | i have a strange network problem here.. i can connect to any website and all services like skype, msn etc are working.. but I cannot get http data from Google. I can ping and traceroute google just fine. Any suggestions? | 11:58 |
| ubuntunewbie007 | i am doing reinstall of linux-image-* | 11:58 |
| MarcoZ | so i need a client for windows :\ | 11:58 |
| ubuntunewbie007 | lets c | 11:58 |
| rampageoberon | MarcoZ: thats fine, putty and vncviewer for windows works | 11:58 |
| soundray | MarcoZ: you can get an X server for Windows with cygwin | 11:58 |
| ubuntunewbie007 | basically whenever we do something with hardware drivers? it effects linux-image? kernel? right? | 11:59 |
| MarcoZ | aight. | 11:59 |
| MarcoZ | however the problem is, let X startup with nothing | 11:59 |
| rampageoberon | MarcoZ: sudo aptitude install tightvncserver | 11:59 |
| ubuntunewbie007 | be right back action and soundray :) | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tamer: do you mean ares the p2p client? | 11:59 |
| uriel_ | hello, i have 2 harddisk 1 is 80gband the other is 160 empty i want to copy the data from 1 to another but i want each partition to be X2 what is the shortest way to do that what programs should i use ? | 11:59 |
| tamer | yes | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tamer: its just a gnutella client | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !gnutella | 12:00 |
| ubottu | Gnutella clients: GTK-Gnutella (GTK, stand-alone), gifTui, giFToxic (GTK, based on giFT), Apollon (KDE, based on giFT), mldonkey-gui (GTK, based on MLDonkey), KMLDonkey (KDE, based on MLDonkey), !Limewire, !Frostwire (Java, not in the !repositories) - See also !P2P | 12:00 |
| ushimitsudoki | jrib: that find doesn't show anything related i think | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tamer: do try to find open alternatives instead of running a great tonne of apps via wine | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | uriel_: create the partitions and dd them over | 12:01 |
| tamer | ok how i can modify my applications menu in the top of the screen | 12:01 |
| jrib | ushimitsudoki: it shouldn't return anything unless you have a specific reason for having files owned by someone other than your user in your HOME | 12:01 |
| MarcoZ | tightvnc seems to startup, but when i try to connect to it it refuses my connection. | 12:01 |
| tamer | because some not needed items are there | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | uriel_: or you could boot to livecd and cp it over but i think you'd have to reinstall grub | 12:01 |
| jrib | tamer: right click on the ubuntu icon | 12:01 |
| rampageoberon | MarcoZ: how are you trying to connect | 12:01 |
| soundray | tamer: System-Preferences-Main Menu | 12:01 |
| moDumass | hey all, um anyone tried this "crome" google browser? | 12:01 |
| moDumass | any good | 12:01 |
| frink_ | hey folks | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | uriel_: why not just keep both and remap /home to be on the new drive? | 12:02 |
| uriel_ | if i will dd them | 12:02 |
| MarcoZ | realvnc, controlling if use protocol 3.3 is still enabled | 12:02 |
| tamer | thanks | 12:02 |
| rampageoberon | MarcoZ: how did you start tightvncserver? | 12:02 |
| ushimitsudoki | jrib: lots of enemy-territory stuff and trash results ... that's about it | 12:02 |
| uriel_ | will hte partition wont lose its size? | 12:02 |
| XGas | moDumass: Really depends on how much you use, and your taste. | 12:02 |
| soundray | moDumass: this is offtopic | 12:02 |
| frink_ | Anybody noticed that if you search for "open office" on google the first hit is a sponsored link to www.openoffice.org-suite.com where you have to pay to download it... | 12:02 |
| uriel_ | cause the 80 gb drive is dieing | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | uriel_: id websearch round but you should be ok | 12:02 |
| XGas | moDumass: Chrome* | 12:02 |
| MarcoZ | rampageoberon, is there something i need to specify when starting it? | 12:02 |
| soundray | !ot | frink_ | 12:03 |
| jrib | ushimitsudoki: you should try starting jack some other way, using a different frontend and see if it works. /me running out of ideas | 12:03 |
| ubottu | frink_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 12:03 |

| prog077 | Do you read the files of windos on linux? | 12:04 |
| ubuntunewbie007 | re-installing linux-image-* didnt help @ soundray | 12:04 |
| ubuntunewbie007 | in sound preferences still oss mixer showing there not alsa one :-< | 12:04 |
| uriel_ | but lets say each partitoin now is 20gb | 12:04 |
| jrib | prog077: you mean from your windows install on another partition? | 12:04 |
| rampageoberon | MarcoZ: ok so can you not connect with vncviewer.exe from windows? | 12:04 |
| uriel_ | and i want each to be 40 | 12:04 |
| uriel_ | u see ? | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | prog077: do you want to read your ntfs partition from linux? | 12:04 |
| MarcoZ | Yes, if i go :1 | 12:05 |
| MarcoZ | and :5901 after the IP | 12:05 |
| moDumass | i would have thought that it would be release for linux first, bummer | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | uriel_: sure, that walkthrough should help. id do it a better way and just install on the new drive and copy over what you need | 12:05 |
| MarcoZ | still, authentication failed, duh | 12:05 |
| prog077 | ???????? | 12:05 |
| jrib | ushimitsudoki: hmm, you could try to 'strace qjackctl' and see what it's doing at the end | 12:05 |
| jrib | prog077: what are you trying to do exactly? | 12:05 |
| DistroJockey | prog077, sometimes | 12:05 |
| rampageoberon | MarcoZ: what authentication are you using in your client/ | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | prog077: do yo uhave a dual boot system and want to read the windows files in linux? | 12:06 |

| kindofabuzz | opendns will help | 12:12 |
| hardcore | this ubuntu seems real nice but just takes some time | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | hardcore: sweet, yeah if you upgrade your kerenl you'll need to swap the driver to the failsafe so you can get a gui to rerun envyng | 12:13 |
| rampageoberon | Pirate_Hunter: all opendns will do is point you to the right place | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hardcore: you have a lot to learn but its fun | 12:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rampageoberon: ok so what can i use to speed up my internet? | 12:13 |
| rampageoberon | Pirate_Hunter: to speed it up you need to get a faster line on both ends (more likely your end) | 12:13 |
| ioops | I have a problem with the latest version 8,04, after booting I have the prompt (initramfs) It s my first time I saw this prompt I don t understand why it s coming now. The boot before was realy goot and I was unsing ubuntu. | 12:13 |

| Oli`` | I'm trying to copy the contents of a dir to another keeping permissions (recursive). I don't want to copy the actual dir. I'm trying rsync but it doesn't grab the hidden files when I specify the origin path as /path/* | 12:14 |
| soundray | ioops: do you see any error message except the initramfs prompt? | 12:14 |

| concave | is there a way to install .debs into my home directory as a non-root user? | 12:17 |
| xkpe | i configured static ip, but my dns keeps changing after awhile no matter how many times i change it, what can be changing my dns? | 12:17 |
| klezala | uh yes | 12:17 |
| soundray | Oli``: give rsync the source as /path/ instead of /path/* and adapt the target | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | concave: only root or sudo can install | 12:17 |
| ioops | soundray: yes it s this right, but before I upgrade the ubuntu and the kernel changed | 12:17 |
| concave | ActionParsnip, off the top of my head, i'm wondering how .deb files are packaged. would there be any potential in extracting them into my home directory? | 12:18 |
| Starchaser | soundray: thnx | 12:18 |
| concave | (although that would negate dependency handling, but oh well) | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | concave: if you run groups in terminal you will see what groups you belong to, if you are in Admin then you can sudo / gksu stuff | 12:18 |
| soundray | ioops: can you boot the old kernel? It should still be on the grub menu. You may have to hit Esc to see the grub menu during boot. | 12:18 |
| Rioting_pacifist | ive removed a swap partion from /etc/fstabs but cryptsetup keeps looking for it | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | concave: you can extract them, yes | 12:18 |
| concave | ActionParsnip, would i find that in the man page for dpkg or apt-get or ...? | 12:19 |
| ioops | soundray: good question I did check | 12:19 |
| ioops | I diidn t check | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | concave: ar vx /path/to/file.deb | 12:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rampageoberon: np | 12:20 |
| soundray | ioops: if you do that, and it boots the old kernel, try 'sudo apt-get -f install' to see if this ties up any loose ends from the update. | 12:20 |
| concave | awesome! thanks ActionParsnip. i forgot all about ar. | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | concave: or use ark /path/to/file.deb | 12:20 |
| ioops | soundray: ok I will do it | 12:20 |
| concave | what's the general opinion on setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, assuming local paths are set _last_ (and "standard" paths are set first)? | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | concave: no idea, sorry | 12:21 |
| ioops | soundray: normaly ubuntu don t remove the old kernel after upgrade ? | 12:22 |
| concave | (or does LD_LIBRARY_PATH only affect additional places to look for libs? i.e., standard paths are checked first, and then afterwards, whatever is placed in LD_LIBRARY_PATH) | 12:22 |
| pajamian | concave: standard paths are checked first, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is for additional places | 12:22 |
| soundray | concave: I've had to do it occasionally. By default, it's unset in ubuntu | 12:22 |
| pajamian | concave: I take it back, actually LD_LIBRARY_PATH is checked first, I think | 12:23 |
| ouaibe_ | stupid autoconnect... | 12:23 |
| soundray | ioops: that's right, it keeps them around to help with precisely the kind of problem you are experiencing. | 12:23 |
| iix | how do i add a program to start up as service ? | 12:23 |
| ioops | soundray: ok | 12:23 |
| ioops | Iwill try your solution | 12:23 |
| soundray | ioops: it only installs the new kernel and adapts the menu.lst so the new one will be booted. | 12:23 |
| kmg | I can't boot regularly or into recovery with any of the many kernels I have: my usplash segfaults with an "error 6." anything I can do about this? | 12:24 |
| hkBst | did alpah 5 get released? | 12:24 |
| KoolD | how to restart a service?? | 12:24 |
| pajamian | iix: if you want to start it as a service you need an init.d file for it, if you just want to start it when you log into gnome you goto System / Preferences / Sessions | 12:24 |
| soundray | iix: you write a SysV init style script. There is a template in /etc/init.d/skeleton. 'man update-rc.d' to learn how to activate it. | 12:24 |
| concave | ah ha http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ld.so+8; you're right pajamian | 12:25 |
| pajamian | KoolD: sudo /etc/init.d/servicename restart | 12:25 |
| soundray | !intrepid | hkBst | 12:25 |
| ubottu | hkBst: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! | 12:25 |
| ioops | soundray: it will be possible to replace the new by the old iin the menu that s right ? | 12:25 |
| iix | thanks. | 12:25 |
| KoolD | pajamian: thanks | 12:25 |
| pajamian | concave: it works that way so you can use non-standard locations for libraries and override specific libraries for specific programs. | 12:25 |
| soundray | ioops: yes, but for now you should just try to boot the old one by selecting it once. | 12:26 |
| kmg | I can't boot regularly or into recovery with any of the many kernels I have: my usplash segfaults with an "error 6." anything I can do about this? | 12:26 |
| concave | yeah, i was confused at first because i thought that LD_PRELOAD would be searched first, then "standard" locations, then LD_LIBRARY_PATH | 12:26 |
| hkBst | thanks soundray | 12:26 |
| pajamian | concave: I'm not sure what LD_PRELOAD is to be honest. | 12:26 |
| ioops | soundray: ok I will try and I say later because the computer is not in the same building | 12:27 |
| concave | pajamian, you can override shared libraries by setting it. | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: uninstall bootsplash in any boot you can get | 12:27 |
| soundray | kmg: your usplash segfaults? Are you sure? | 12:27 |
| concave | i think that LD_PRELOAD only applies to shared libs, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH applies to all libs? | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: you may need to boot to live cd to edit the files that kick it up | 12:27 |
| Rioting_pacifist | ive removed a swap partion from /etc/fstabs but cryptsetup keeps looking for it | 12:27 |
| pajamian | concave: at any rate, I've used LD_LIBRARY_PATH when I needed to compile a program from source and needed newer versions of libs than what comes with ubuntu. | 12:28 |
| kmg | ActionParsnip: that's what I was afraid of. | 12:28 |
| kmg | soundray: yeah, it says usplash is segfaulting | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: it may be the case if you cant get any sort of boot then youll have to carve it out then remove it | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Rioting_pacifist: http://linux.die.net/man/8/cryptsetup | 12:29 |
| soundray | kmg: perhaps you can hit E in the grub menu to edit the boot entry, then edit the kernel line to remove 'quiet splash' | 12:29 |
| kmg | ActionParsnip: if I just uninstall the splash, then it will do a regular boot? | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: should do | 12:29 |
| kmg | soundray: i'll try that | 12:29 |
| concave | the problem i've run into, and i don't think i'm the first, is that when compiling vim as a regular user, i'm getting an error during ./configure regarding having no terminal library installed (like ncurses). so it looks like i can either install ncurses-dev, or build it from source. either way, since i'm a non-root user, i'm going to have to point to the right library during vim's ./configure. | 12:29 |
| pajamian | concave: why not just install all the build dependancies for vim from apt? | 12:30 |
| pajamian | concave: sudo apt-get build-dep vim | 12:30 |
| Kartagis | hi again | 12:30 |
| iturk | hi there friends I am having problems trying to access a share drive mounted has vfat on fstab! Can someone have a look at this - http://pastebin.com/d47c77cd2 | 12:30 |
| concave | i'm not a sudoer :-/ | 12:31 |
| pajamian | concave: ahhh, I see | 12:31 |
| concave | but i didn't know there was a build-dep option. that's kinda cool! | 12:31 |
| pajamian | concave: and hence you can't install vim from apt either. | 12:32 |
| concave | bingo | 12:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | is it possible to have to firewalls runing without a problem i.e. firehol and ufw? | 12:32 |
| soundray | concave: Ubuntu is difficult for development if you aren't in the admin group | 12:32 |
| pajamian | concave: good luck, sounds like you're being forced to do a lot of work for nothing. | 12:32 |
| concave | pajamian, yeah, i'm going to end up having to contact the sysadmin... *grumble* | 12:32 |
| soundray | concave: can't you download and unpack a vim .deb and try to run the binary directly? | 12:32 |
| concave | soundray, other than what i've run into, what are some other reasons for this? | 12:33 |
| pajamian | soundray: that's a good idea | 12:33 |
| Dranik | which repositories should I use to get the latest KDE 4.1.1 ? | 12:33 |
| concave | soundray, i'm not sure what you mean. do you mean extract the .deb and run vim, or is there some way to "run" a deb file like a binary? | 12:33 |
| concave | (i never got totally up to snuff with apt and .debs) | 12:34 |
| soundray | concave: I mean unpack the deb archive in your home, then run '$HOME/unpackdir/bin/vim' or similar | 12:34 |
| concave | that's what i'm going to try right now. that's a good idea | 12:35 |
| pajamian | concave: don't be surprised if it doesn't work, but it is a good idea | 12:35 |
| hardcore | oh nice, now i got better resolution :P | 12:35 |
| soundray | concave: library support is the main trouble; also the six-monthly updates -- as a user you're bitten if the sysadmin upgrades and you're bitten when she does ;) | 12:35 |
| soundray | *doesn't | 12:36 |
| hardcore | but then let's talk about more... do i need 3rd party firewall/antivirus since running OS without em drives me paranoid :D | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hardcore: cool, as i said. you will need to run that every time you get a new kernel | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hardcore: and put your driver to the failsafe before you reboot to the new kernel so you can rerun the app | 12:36 |
| hardcore | uhm, how do i know when i reboot into new kernel? :D | 12:37 |
| hardcore | is it when some update comes or? | 12:37 |
| soundray | ActionParsnip: what do you mean exactly -- switch the driver with displayconfig-gtk? | 12:37 |
| concave | indeed, this plan was too cunning to work! | 12:37 |
| hardcore | actionparsnip is kinda lonely, you should get more staff here to help people :D | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | soundray: edit xorg.conf so the driver is nv and not nvidia | 12:38 |
| pajamian | concave: lack of dependancies | 12:38 |
| soundray | hardcore: there is no staff here | 12:38 |
| Kartagis | is 1 gb swap sufficient or 1gb RAM? | 12:38 |
| kyo | 有人能够帮助我安装讯雷吗 ？ | 12:38 |
| magnetron | hardcore, none in here is staff, everyone is volunteering | 12:38 |

| hardcore | well thats great, hope you dont rip your hairs off... | 12:38 |
| pajamian | concave: if it were me I'd just wait and ask the sysadmin | 12:39 |
| hateball | So what is a tool to monitor disk i/o in realtime? | 12:39 |
| hardcore | ok so well now few questions: Do i need 3rd party firewall/antivirus and how i can choose irc-server which is not on that list | 12:39 |
| kmg | do i need a livecd in to run chkdsk? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | hateball: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/monitor-your-ubuntu-system-with-saidar.html | 12:39 |
| concave | pajamian, there's a chance i picked up the wrong package, too. i extracted the .deb and ended up with data.tar.gz, control.tar.gz, and debian-binary. in data.tar.gz, i found a basic heirarchy, including usr/bin/vim.basic (although that's too minimal, so yeargh, probably wrong package). apparently i'm missing libgpm... sysadmin it is, then! | 12:40 |
| soundray | kmg: there is no chkdsk -- do you mean fsck? | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: you can chkdsk any umounted volume freely, you can do it on mounted partitions but its not advised | 12:40 |
| jrib | concave: if you can't use the deb, why aren't you just grabbing a tar.gz? | 12:40 |
| hateball | ActionParsnip: Looks neat, thanks :) | 12:40 |
| pajamian | concave: if you have another box you may be able to compile it with static linking | 12:40 |
| digin4 | chkdsk is for windows 8| | 12:41 |
| === Sephi is now known as Sephi`AFK | ||
| concave | !!! that's a great idea pajamian ! | 12:41 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:41 |
| kmg | ActionParsnip: but I suppose I can't do it from the grub command line =P | 12:41 |
| concave | lolz: there's a package called "vim-full" that i totally missed. also, i didn't know i could grab a tar file for it. | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: id do it from livecd. theres a way to shutdown and make it do it next boot before loading the os | 12:41 |
| kmg | ActionParsnip: yeah, but I can't even boot. I think I've tracked my problem down to some kind of filesystem corruption. I managed to remove splash from the boot command, and now I see that it's hanging at trying to load the ext3-fs | 12:42 |
| kmg | and now my processor is overheating =P | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: id get in livecd town and check it out | 12:43 |
| kmg | yeah | 12:43 |
| kmg | gotta see if I have any lying about | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: you could always download a gentoo minimal for 80mb and use that | 12:44 |
| concave | i'm feeling more lazy than impatient, so i'll just contact the sysadmin and wait for a while instead of pursuing this any further. thanks for your help guys! | 12:44 |
| prodigel | Hi all. Probably you've heard this hundred of times till now: How can I install google chrome on ubuntu? Tried using wine, still if running wine chrome_installer.exe I get no feed back, just de prompter back | 12:44 |
| jrib | prodigel: you can't yet | 12:45 |
| Pici | prodigel: You can't until Google releases a Linux binary. | 12:45 |
| kmg | prodigel: they haven't released the linux version yet. | 12:45 |
| prodigel | jrib, still some people said it's done'able | 12:45 |
| jrib | prodigel: then ask *them* | 12:45 |
| kmg | ActionParsnip: i'd love to, but i'm on my eee pc right now which doesn't have a burner | 12:45 |
| prodigel | no one tried it? | 12:45 |
| kmg | prodigel: it's on webkit anyway, who needs it. | 12:46 |
| Pici | prodigel: No, we've all tried it. Not even the source they provide compiles into a useable form. | 12:46 |
| kindofabuzz | prodigel, http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/2008/09/install-google-chrome-on-linux-using-wine.html | 12:46 |
| jrib | kmg: well that's not nice :) | 12:46 |
| kindofabuzz | ran like crap on mine | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: make a bootable usb key ;) | 12:46 |
| pajamian | prodigel: some people have had luck with wine | 12:46 |
| jrib | prodigel: i've tried it in a windows virtual machine, heh | 12:46 |
| hardcore | uhm, how can i connect into some server that is not on this irc-client's list of servers? | 12:46 |
| kmg | jrib: i've been in web development a long time, i've got a right to complain about webkit | 12:46 |
| hardcore | xchat gnome | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | hardcore: add your own | 12:47 |
| kindofabuzz | hardcore, add it | 12:47 |
| up_the_irons | I tried upgrading a Xen VM of dapper to hardy. Things went well until new packages started getting installed. I got seg faults everywhere. The VM became unusable. I mounted it on the Dom0 and untar'd my base install image onto it; it boots up now and is usable, but dpkg / apt-get, naturally, are complaining about broken package this, broken package that... any suggestions on how to proceed? | 12:47 |
| kmg | ActionParsnip: friend stole my last one! | 12:47 |
| hardcore | hmm, i dont see "Add server" anywhere | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: theyre cheap o buy one ;) | 12:47 |
| hardcore | oh now i found | 12:48 |
| kmg | ActionParsnip: i could, but i wanna fix it RIGHT NOW ! =P | 12:48 |
| kindofabuzz | hardcore, Xchat > network list | 12:48 |
| kindofabuzz | hardcore, ctrl S | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | kmg: well you need some form of bootable media | 12:48 |
| Kartagis | is 1 gb swap sufficient or 1gb RAM? | 12:48 |
| kmg | ActionParsnip: i've got a bunch of unlabeled disks, and I know several of them are livecds | 12:49 |
| kindofabuzz | if all you do is browse and check email and basic stuff yeah | 12:49 |
| kmg | so i'm going through the stack | 12:49 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: 2gb is recommended but you would be fine with 1 | 12:49 |
| Dawson | Hey all, I am installing ubuntu on another machine and I am getting to the 'Detect Disk' stage and it keeps saying It cannot detect the disk even though its very much present | 12:49 |
| Dawson | is there any solution to this, as it doesnt have drivers as such | 12:49 |
| bringatowel | Dawson, have you checked to make sure the drive appears in the BIOS? | 12:50 |
| Dawson | yep | 12:50 |
| Dawson | i even tried installing windows and that had no problem finding the drive | 12:50 |
| Kartagis | okay thanks pajamian. one more question. is it possible to remove tcl without removing xchat? | 12:50 |
| Dawson | its defintely there and working, brand new | 12:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how can i clear my terminal buffer of all commands i have done so far? | 12:50 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: why would you want to? | 12:51 |
| bringatowel | Dawson, so probably what is happening is that there is no working driver for your IDE card, start by doing a search for your motherboard model or IDE card (if its seperate) | 12:51 |
| seekingtruth | hello sinners | 12:51 |
| Kartagis | pajamian> I want to install newer TCL | 12:51 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: just install it, then, don't remove the old | 12:51 |
| bazhang | !hi | seekingtruth | 12:51 |
| ubottu | seekingtruth: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 12:51 |
| Kartagis | Pirate_Hunter> rm ~/.bash_history | 12:51 |
| Dawson | bringatowel, I have searched for the mobo drivers but they are all windows! pah! and the hard disk brings up no driver results | 12:52 |
| bringatowel | Dawson, what you might have to do is download a driver for it, and then load that during the install. what motherboard do you have? | 12:52 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: what is your reason for wanting a newer tcl? | 12:52 |
| Kartagis | ok pajamian | 12:52 |
| Kartagis | pajamian> for eggdrop | 12:52 |
| bringatowel | Dawson, it's not the hard drive that needs drivers, it is just the motherboard/IDE controller | 12:52 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: does eggdrop actualyl require it? | 12:52 |
| Kartagis | pajamian> TCL? yes | 12:52 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: a newer tcl than ubuntu already has | 12:53 |
| jrib | Kartagis: eggdrop is in the repositories | 12:53 |
| Dawson | bringatowel, ohh really, that makes sense, the company only provide windows drivers though it seems | 12:53 |
| bringatowel | Dawson, try searching on the name of the motherboard + ubuntu or linux, also if you can figure out what IDE controller is integrated, you can search on that | 12:53 |
| Kartagis | pajamian> yes | 12:53 |
| bringatowel | Dawson, usually you can find someone else who has tried to install linux on the same hardware, and there might be a community written driver, or perhaps a driver for a similar controller card that will work. do you what know what the make and model of your motherboard are? | 12:53 |
| Dawson | bringatowel, k9agm3 | 12:54 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: you can either install eggdrop from the ubuntu repositores or if you want to compile your own, then compile your own tcl and install it in it's own location under /usr/local, use the --prefix= configure directive | 12:54 |
| Dawson | bringatowel, understand what your saying, I am trying to find now. its a MSI otherboard | 12:54 |
| coozier | I wanted to ask an ot question here on the basis that it was answered last time for me and I've forgotten the answer now. When I use firefox with Adblock and Noscript it stops googlereader working correctly, but there is asimple fix which someone was good enough to tell me last time I was here. I'm really hoping the same person is around which is a big ask because it was awhile ago but here goes! | 12:55 |

| ubottu | kyo: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 12:55 |
| Kartagis | pajamian> I did compile my own tcl but eggdrop still finds the old one | 12:55 |
| bringatowel | Dawson, what kind of hard drive is it, IDE or SATA? | 12:55 |
| Dawson | its an IDE drive | 12:55 |
| jrib | coozier: you should grep the logs if no one can help now | 12:56 |
| pajamian | bringatowel: use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point eggdrop to the new one. | 12:56 |
| jrib | !logs | coozier | 12:56 |
| ubottu | coozier: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 12:56 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point eggdrop to the new one. | 12:56 |
| pajamian | bringatowel: that was meant for soemone else, sorry | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: they're all ide, you mean pata (just nit picking) | 12:56 |
| bringatowel | lol | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: is the pata controller enabled?? | 12:56 |
| coozier | jrib thanks didn't know about that reference | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: in bios | 12:57 |
| Kartagis | pajamian> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/tcl/lib make? | 12:57 |
| Dawson | ActionPArsnip: lol im checking now | 12:57 |
| seekingtruth | !hi | bazhang | 12:57 |
| ubottu | bazhang: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: yeah if its disabled in bios you wont see devices attatched to it | 12:57 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: /path/to/tcl/lddirectory | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: you could also try loading bios defaults | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: is iy a new motherboard? | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | *it | 12:58 |
| Dawson | yep new today | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: could be faulty | 12:58 |
| Kartagis | pajamian> lddirectory meaning? | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: DOA | 12:58 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: one sec ... | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: not a bad lil board | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: for the price | 12:59 |
| bringatowel | ActionParsnip, he says he tested it in windows | 12:59 |
| Dawson | yes its all tested and working you see | 13:00 |
| Dawson | its not to bad, just budget to run ubuntu server | 13:00 |
| indian_munnda | can anyone tell me that is it possible to do port forwarding on dynamic IP? | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: ahh, i missed that bit | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: then its the best ;) | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: absolutely | 13:00 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: can you plz explain | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: id register with no-ip.com and get your system resolving to a name and refresh the ip for that name very hour | 13:01 |
| needhelp | Hello... I have captured some videos from a DV webcam to DV type 2 using the kino program. I then converted to DVD files with .mpg extension (resolution: 720*576). And finally created a DVD using DeVeDe. Now when I put the disc on the DVD player on the PC, everything looks fine. But when I put the disc in the DVD player in the livingroom, the very left and right sides of the video are vertically cut off. Any idea? | 13:01 |
| kindofabuzz | dynadns | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: the port forwarding is done in your route | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | r | 13:01 |
| kindofabuzz | linksys routers support dynadns | 13:01 |
| kindofabuzz | internally | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ooh i gots a linksys but am using no-ip | 13:02 |
| ykphuah | needhelp: 720*576 doesn't look like widescreen to me. | 13:02 |
| needhelp | ykphuah: it isn't widescreen (16:9) | 13:02 |
| wangor | hello, sorry I try to get tomcat5.5 running on ubuntu, but it doesn't work. Each time i get /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start it tells me it is starting [ OK ] but in fact nothing happens, I can type [...] start many times, efect is always the same, any ideas ? | 13:03 |
| needhelp | ykphuah: the left and right sides are still cut off | 13:03 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: ok i m registering at no-ip.com | 13:03 |
| ykphuah | wangor: look at what the /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 does and try to start it manually first. | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: then get the duc client and apply your account to it, it will refresh the ip in their dns so you will have the right ip | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: my linksys does not say anything about dynadns | 13:04 |
| rozyo | i have issues to webcam. is anyone available to talk to me, and givesome advice? | 13:04 |
| ykphuah | needhelp: try making it widescreen, and have the top and bottom blacked out. | 13:04 |
| rozyo | with webcam | 13:05 |
| jevangelo | hey, is ubuntu keeping up with clamav? | 13:05 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, hmm maybe it's only the dd-wrt firmware, i thought all linksys supported it though | 13:05 |
| needhelp | needhelp: how should I make it widescreen ? | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | rozyo: what webcam you got? | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: its not in my stock WRT54GL | 13:05 |
| jevangelo | the clamav package that ubuntu installs is too old to get updates from clamav | 13:05 |
| ykphuah | needhelp: how did you convert into mpg? | 13:05 |
| Dawson | 2secs guys | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ykphuah: from what? | 13:06 |
| Dawson | my monitors gone funny:D | 13:06 |
| needhelp | needhelp: If i make the DVD files (.mpg) widescreen, it will look quite funny when the image is being stretched | 13:06 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, what firmware you got ? | 13:06 |
| dVs-- | I cant sem to find a way uninstall Frostwire .. can anyone help ? | 13:06 |
| needhelp | needhelp: I did use a video editing tool to convert from DV type 2 (.dv) to DVD files (.mpg) | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | kindofabuzz: 4.30.11. works fine | 13:06 |
| ykphuah | needhelp: I have never encoded a dvd before, but as I know, all DVDs are in widescreen format, that's why the top/bottom is blacked on a 4:3 screen. | 13:07 |
| jrib | dVs--: system -> administration -> synaptic | 13:07 |
| dVs-- | apt-rem doesnt work neither does aptitude-remove | 13:07 |
| kindofabuzz | ActionParsnip, it's only the WRT54G that supports it | 13:07 |
| dVs-- | nope its not in synaptic | 13:07 |
| jrib | dVs--: well how did you install it? | 13:07 |
| Dawson | actionparsnip: did you say pata? | 13:07 |
| pajamian | Kartagis: find the .pc file and point PKG_CONFIG_PATH to that directory | 13:07 |
| dVs-- | i clicked on the .deb and a little packedge installer did it | 13:07 |
| Dawson | actionparsnip: in bios, where would that even be under, i have never heard of that | 13:07 |
| bringatowel | ykphuah, not all dvds are widescreen, also there are varying aspect ratios | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: yes, pata is the ribbon cable, sata is a thinner one (usually orange) | 13:07 |
| seekingtruth | hello sinners | 13:07 |
| dVs-- | not add remove or synaptic | 13:08 |

| ubottu | seekingtruth, please see my private message | 13:08 |
| Dawson | actionparsnip: what setting am i look for in bios exactly? | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: its what people call IDE, when all hard drives are IDE | 13:08 |
| jrib | dVs--: then it should be in synaptic. What does this return: apt-cache policy frostwire | 13:08 |
| Dawson | aaah i see | 13:08 |
| biella | hu | 13:08 |
| seekingtruth | bazhang: :) | 13:08 |
| biella | hi | 13:08 |
| biella | i mean | 13:08 |
| bringatowel | ActionParsnip, yeah the names are really funny now though, MSI's site calls it IDE :P | 13:08 |
| Kartagis | pajamian> what about the LD_LIBRARY_PATH? | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: it varys wildly from bios to bios. It may be in integrated peripherals but it might be worded different | 13:09 |

| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: i have registered to no-ip.com, now plz tell me how to do port forwarding using it? | 13:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | indian_munnda: why would you need to register to portforward when their is a guide for portforwarding on portforward.com | 13:10 |
| dVs-- | jrib thankx man .. that seemed to do it | 13:10 |
| Dawson | ActionParsnip,Bringatowel: I enabled PCI IDE BusMaster | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: thats in your router, there is no black and white answer to how to set it up. id grab the user manual for your router | 13:11 |
| Dawson | for now it doesnt find anything? | 13:11 |
| Dawson | *but now | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Dawson: anything about PATA or onboard IDE setup? | 13:11 |
| bringatowel | Dawson, im not sure if that will make any difference, maybe try resetting the defaults? | 13:12 |
| shingen | is it common for intel wireless cards to crash, or + vpnc or + cisco vpn client to crash a laptop? This is the second laptop I've had that crashes with an intel wireless 2200bg card | 13:12 |
| olmari | HEllo | 13:12 |
| Dawson | nothing as far as i can see | 13:12 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: that i'll do in router but it is demanding source and destination ip. And i don't know that | 13:12 |
| bringatowel | Dawson, can you find the link for that motherboard on MSI's site? | 13:12 |
| olmari | Anyone around that would know how to get data from serial port to act like it's coming from keyboard? | 13:12 |
| Dawson | okay i have reset defaults | 13:13 |
| Dawson | yes i have it | 13:13 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: i kow my dynamic ip and the ip provided to my lan card. | 13:13 |
| Dawson | http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1240 | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | well the source ip will be your wan ip and it wont be asking that, it will ask the PORT, you set the port number you want to forward, then the ip and port of the system to forward to | 13:13 |
| magnetron | olmari, investigate "serial TTY" | 13:13 |
| ioops | soundray: I boot on a live cd and chroot my / | 13:13 |
| ioops | and try to make apt-get -f install and nothing append | 13:13 |
| olmari | magnetron: I'll look that :) | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: id set the system you are forwarding to to use static ip to save confusion | 13:14 |
| indian_munnda | ActionParsnip: ok, but my wan ip keeps changing | 13:14 |
| Dawson | bringatowel: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1240 | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | indian_munnda: yes thats why you have the no-ip account | 13:16 |
| ioops | ok, i m so lost it will by so nice if somebody could help me please | 13:16 |
| olmari | magnetron: Hmm... Trying to figure out this... Too much info still =) | 13:16 |
| kindofabuzz | indian_munnda, dyndns.com | 13:16 |
| shingen | sorry to repeat, but... is it common for intel wireless cards to crash, or + vpnc or + cisco vpn client to crash a laptop? This is the second laptop I've had that crashes with an intel wireless 2200bg card | 13:17 |
| kindofabuzz | or is no-ip the same? | 13:17 |
| dVs-- | i just reinstalled frostwire and it still wont start for me | 13:17 |
| olmari | shingen: Well I have 2100 on my laptop and I don't see it crashing | 13:17 |
| jrib | dVs--: pastebin the error you get from 'frostwire' in a shell | 13:17 |
| shingen | no-ip & dyndns is almost the same, both provide Dynamic DNS services | 13:17 |
| shingen | olmari: but that's not a 2200 is it? :) | 13:17 |
| kindofabuzz | dVs--, do you have sun java installed or just openjdk? frostwire will not run with openjdk | 13:18 |
| olmari | shingen: nope, but you asked about intel cards ;) | 13:18 |
| dVs-- | ok let me try installing java | 13:18 |
| amenado | whose familiar with creating udev rules? can you assist me with it? do you know if it can use same info as lshal does? my rules seem to not make a difference | 13:18 |
| kindofabuzz | dVs--, you said reinstalled, did it work before? | 13:19 |
| bring2towels | Dawson, where does the hard drive show up in the "Standard CMOS Features" screen? | 13:19 |
| dVs-- | nope | 13:19 |
| Dawson | bring2towels: primary ide master; and then primary ide slave is the dvd drive | 13:20 |
| kindofabuzz | dVs--, yeah then installing sun's java you should be good | 13:20 |
| dVs-- | i just tried to do it from a term like jrib suggested and got an error about java so i am trying to install th sun ver | 13:20 |
| olmari | magnetron: hmm found "catty" that sounds promising | 13:20 |
| kindofabuzz | dVs--, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre | 13:21 |
| dVs-- | thankx guys .. was in here for hours yesterday and no one would respond .. | 13:21 |
| bring2towels | Dawson, hmm that should be fine, maybe check the boot sequence in the Advanced Bios Features? | 13:21 |
| Dawson | would the boot sequence have an effect then? I am booting the cd drive first to get to the install loaded | 13:21 |
| Dawson | beautiful! | 13:23 |
| Dawson | that bus thing | 13:23 |
| Dawson | seems to work now!!! | 13:23 |
| Dawson | thank you guys!! | 13:23 |
| bring2towels | Dawson, woohoo! | 13:23 |
| Dawson | hahaha! yeah man, im so happy | 13:23 |
| Dawson | been bugging me | 13:23 |
| Dawson | i have another 16 of these mahcines 2 make today with same spec | 13:23 |
| olmari | magnetron: It's some C++ proggie... But I'm still wondering could there be some one liner or so to redirect serial port into 'keyboard' type data input | 13:23 |
| bring2towels | good to hear, i was not finding any mentions of driver problems so it nearly stumped me :D | 13:24 |
| bring2towels | nice, that looks like a good mobo :) | 13:24 |
| Dawson | yeah neither me thats what was so confusing! Was that the IDE Pata thing was disabled by default | 13:24 |
| Dawson | yeah it isnt bad, cost like £30.00 from aria.co.uk | 13:24 |
| Dawson | nice and cheap for what we want | 13:24 |
| kindofabuzz | dVs--, that work? | 13:24 |
| Dawson | ActionParsnip: Thank you for your help also | 13:25 |
| brutus | how do I get matlab for gutsy? | 13:26 |
| magnetron | olmari, the default used to be that the linux system EXPECTED any serial input to be typed into a terminal. (with mgetty). however, this expects that the serial device is a serial terminal, that supports two-way communication | 13:26 |
| magnetron | brutus, we don't sell matlab | 13:26 |
| neoline | Guys i need help regarding installing packages from an iso image created with aptoncd! | 13:26 |
| bring2towels | Dawson, yah that is not bad for having AM2 and DDR2-800. its strange that the bios defaults have problems, but as long as it works.... :) | 13:27 |
| magnetron | brutus, if you want matlab, contact mathworks | 13:27 |
| dooglus | I'm returning my laptop to the manufacturer for repair. I need to wipe the hdd before I do so - what's a good way? | 13:27 |
| olmari | magnetron: I know my device (barcode scanner) accepts input data too, There is even instructions for inputting data manually | 13:27 |

| neoline | Guys i need help regarding installing packages from an iso image created with aptoncd! pls help! :| | 13:28 |

| hazrd | im trying to compile the newest version of bmpanel and getting this msg: http://pastebin.com/m36811f65 | 13:28 |
| hazrd | What should i do? :O | 13:28 |
| olmari | magnetron: I mean I'd just like to read an barcode to an program :) | 13:28 |
| magnetron | olmari, exactly | 13:29 |
| dooglus | amenado: where can I find it? | 13:29 |
| neoline | help with aptoncd please! | 13:29 |
| === violet_ is now known as cO_padUKA_sby | ||
| amenado | dooglus-> google ? | 13:29 |
| magnetron | olmari, which program? | 13:29 |
| dorto | Is the Ubuntu Packaging Guide available in PDF format for taking print out? | 13:29 |
| shingen | hazrd: ask the guys who created it? | 13:29 |
| olmari | magnetron: any program... Bills to browser/inet banking, DVD barcodes to cataloging proggies etc | 13:29 |
| dooglus | amenado: also, what happens when the wiping program gets to itself? won't it start to fail? | 13:29 |
| amenado | dooglus-> it can be put on a cdrom? | 13:30 |
| olmari | barcode scanner outputs decoded data so it is plain ascii characters that is outputs as for computer perspective | 13:30 |
| brutus | bring2towels, thanks | 13:30 |
| neoline | or just tell me how can i use the apt archives *.deb files for installation satisfying dependencies! please! :-( | 13:31 |
| dooglus | amenado: I found 'wipe' - that looks like what I want... $ sudo wipe /dev/sda2 | 13:31 |
| dooglus | Okay to WIPE 1 special file ? (Yes/No) yes | 13:31 |
| shingen | hazrd: it looks like there are some syntax issues with their code and variable declaration... you either know enough to fix it, or speak to the guy(s) who wrote it to fix... it doesn't look like missing dependencies | 13:31 |
| dooglus | hopefully the wipe program will stay around in RAM while it wipes the disk - but I guess I'll see what happens | 13:32 |
| bring2towels | brutus, no prob, you can install them using Add/Remove | 13:32 |
| olmari | magnetron: I know "cat /dev/rfcomm1" shows the data on terminal screen, but it's half-useless there | 13:32 |

| olmari | magnetron: nah, catty wasn't it either :) | 13:34 |
| bring2towels | jlong, stabilize? it works fine for me, you might want to install the version from Adobe's website instead of from the Ubuntu repo though | 13:34 |
| stylianos | dooglus: There is a bug with firefox and flash, I needed it for my box | 13:34 |
| brutus | bring2towels, I got it with apt-get..., thanks anyways | 13:34 |

| jlong | bring - Yes, stabilize. It crashes randomly, mostly when there is Flash content | 13:34 |
| dooglus | stylianos: I think running "aoss firefox" fixed everything for me | 13:34 |

| magnetron | olmari, you are a little bit on your own here. the case where you you rs232 keyboards connected over bluetooth to be used as input in any app really isn't a common problem. any app that need something similar should serial port support in the specific app itself. either that, or you should have bought a ps/2 or USB bar code scanner instead | 13:36 |
| brutus | bring2towels, hmm....doesn't seem to be there in my repos | 13:37 |
| jlong | I get segmentation faults left and right and the debug dump points right to Flash | 13:37 |

| dooglus | jlong: I get a crash every time I try to play a youtube video in fullscreen in firefox. I found the solution was to stop trying to do it | 13:37 |
| olmari | magnetron: well it is what it is, but generally linux is king at these type of situations... just if I'd know better to code scripts at any language =) | 13:37 |
| jlong | doog - haha, that's one way to fix it i suppose | 13:38 |
| bring2towels | stylianos, did you install flash from adobe's site or from the ubuntu repo? | 13:38 |
| dooglus | jlong: are your crashes in the same situation? trying to play full screen? | 13:38 |
| jrib | dooglus: you should try using nspluginwrapper. I know it's to get flash on 64bit, but I believe you can still use it in 32bit and I have no problems here on 64bit | 13:38 |
| stylianos | bring2towels: I'm getting it from the repos. installing now. | 13:38 |
| magnetron | olmari, if more people were in your situation, someone would have made the software already | 13:38 |
| ninuuz | is there like a site ripper tool for ubuntu? | 13:38 |
| jlong | doog - no, i get crashes even after Firefox has been sitting idle on a page | 13:38 |
| bring2towels | stylianos, you actually want to install the one from adobe's site i think | 13:38 |
| jlong | Gmail crashes it, any video site will | 13:39 |
| jrib | ninuuz: like wget? | 13:39 |
| dooglus | jrib: I'm wiping my root partition at the moment, so I can't try anything much. I'm surprised that anything's still running to be honest | 13:39 |

| erUSUL | ninuuz: wget curl or httrack | 13:39 |
| olmari | magnetron: actually there is one, but it is for some barcode scanner that outputs data on it's own protocol, so it didn't work... developers did promise to look into it, but being busy it can take forever :) | 13:40 |
| magnetron | olmari, investiage this (but it will require heavy configing) | 13:40 |
| bring2towels | brutus, there are a couple different packages, octave3.0 and qtoctave | 13:40 |
| jlong | doog - well, i just signed into my gmail. it loaded the page, then Firefox closed | 13:40 |
| Pie-rate | is there a command that will adjust the volume in gnome and display the volume OSD? | 13:40 |
| erUSUL | Pie-rate: amixer ? alsamixer? | 13:40 |
| dooglus | jlong: did you try a new profile? maybe your firefox profile is corrupted? | 13:41 |
| jlong | yep, I did that because I had to downgrade from the even-buggier Firefox 3 that came with 8.04 | 13:41 |
| olmari | magnetron: written in perl. FlicServ was the name | 13:41 |
| jlong | I've never had so many problems with a version of Linux as I have with this one | 13:41 |
| Pie-rate | erUSUL: neither of them can show the OSD | 13:41 |
| Pie-rate | erUSUL: the little thing in the middle of the screen that displays the volume level when you adjust it with keyboard binds | 13:42 |
| brutus | bring2towels, thank you, i'll have a look | 13:42 |
| bring2towels | jlong, ive never had as few problems with a version of linux as with this one, so i guess we balance out? | 13:42 |
| Pie-rate | erUSUL: i have not been able to find a way to show it at all | 13:42 |
| dooglus | jlong: what if you only have one tab, at gmail.com - does it still crash? reliably? | 13:42 |
| bring2towels | brutus, good luck, sorry i have not actually tried these, but i hear they are good | 13:42 |
| erUSUL | Pie-rate: that is something managed by the machine bios via acpi i think ... | 13:42 |
| netsurf3 | hey peeps does anyone know if i can install ubuntu LTS alternate to a LVM which is already encrypted? | 13:42 |
| Pie-rate | erUSUL: highly doubt... | 13:43 |
| jlong | doog - I can't say that it would crash reliably that way, no | 13:43 |
| jlong | However, Firefox and Pidgin just shut down on me | 13:44 |
| dooglus | jlong: so maybe the 'gmail' crash you saw was really due to some flash in a different tab/ | 13:44 |
| dooglus | jlong: I did used to have lots of flash-related crashes - but can't remember what stopped them. | 13:44 |
| jlong | I can say with 100% certainty that MSNBC's video player site will crash it reliably | 13:44 |
| ik-ook | hallo everybody | 13:44 |
| brutus | bring2towels, appreciate your help, wil try out scilab too | 13:45 |
| ik-ook | I'm new on ubuntu | 13:45 |
| dooglus | jlong: perhaps give a specific URL that crashes for you and see if it does for anyone else here? | 13:45 |
| dooglus | hi ik-ook | 13:45 |
| bring2towels | jlong, is it only crashes on flash pages, or other pages too? if gmail crashes then it is probably not flash related | 13:45 |
| jlong | If anyone wants to try video.msnbc.com... it just crashed out on me | 13:46 |
| Bodsda | Hi, i have two usb ports on the side of my screen, but when i plug in anything its not recognized and doesnt show up in 'lsusb'. How can i activate/use these ports? | 13:46 |
| ik-ook | I'm trying to install flash player 9 but I can't | 13:46 |
| tore | anyone made a .deb of fluxbox 1.1.0 yet? | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | Bodsda, err.. there is a usb hub cable going from the monitor to the pc right? | 13:46 |
| jlong | bring - It does crash on Gmail, but nearly any page with flash also crashes. | 13:46 |
| zelexus | ik-ook: which architecture are you using? | 13:46 |
| Bodsda | dr_willis, huh?? no there is 2 built in usb slots on my screen | 13:47 |
| jrib | Bodsda: I have that setup. Did you connect the usb from your monitor to your pc's usb? | 13:47 |
| jlong | I also ran 'firefox-2 -g' and got the dump, which shows libflashplayer.so or whatever | 13:47 |
| jlong | q | 13:47 |
| Bodsda | jrib, no | 13:47 |
| Bodsda | jrib, im not sure what you mean by that | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | Bodsda, you just said yoiu have 2 usb ports on the side of the screen... what are your efering to then? | 13:47 |
| ik-ook | I've an old dell latitude c400 and I've installed ubuntu just yesterday | 13:47 |
| jlong | Anybody have a chance to check out VIDEO.MSNBC.COM? | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | Bodsda, it sure SHOUNDS like you are saying you got a mOnitor with a usb hub built in. | 13:47 |
| Bodsda | dr_willis, yes thats correct | 13:48 |
| jrib | Bodsda: hold on, let me check how my monitor is setup. Do you have dell monitor btw? | 13:48 |
| Bodsda | jrib, yep :) | 13:48 |
| dr_willis | Bodsda, then the monitor has to have some usb cable from the monitor to the pc.. Unless its somehow usign the video cable as a usb cable.. | 13:48 |
| djhash | Bodsda: underneat the screen there is a usb connector to connect from PC to monitor.. next to VGA connections.. check it out | 13:48 |
| Bodsda | jrib, dell 1907FP | 13:48 |
| dr_willis | all the monitor/hubs ive seen have a usb A/B cable from the base of the monitor to the pc. | 13:49 |
| jrib | Bodsda: yeah, I have the same model 17in. The monitor came with a usb cable right? | 13:49 |
| jlong | i will BRB.. I need to restart this beast | 13:49 |
| zelexus | ik-ook: I was using AMD64, and I had some trouble installing flash. What I did was, I copied the libflashplayer.so to /home/'username'/.firefox/plugins. If it doesn't exist, then create it. Then restart firefox. That worked for me! | 13:49 |
| Bodsda | jrib, dunno, this one was kinda pinched from the nhs lol | 13:49 |
| Bodsda | jrib, i dont have a double ended usb cable unforyunately | 13:50 |
| djhash | Bodsda: look at your port connections on the monitor where the VGA cable is.. you'll see a USB B port there that needs to be connected to your PC. | 13:50 |
| Bodsda | unfortunately* | 13:50 |
| jrib | Bodsda: you have more usb ports in the back btw. Let me take you a picture of the quick-setup so you can see what you need to do | 13:50 |
| ik-ook | I'll try thanks a lot zelaxus | 13:50 |
| zelexus | ik-ook: no worries | 13:51 |
| djhash | Bodsda: not any double ended USB.. you need a USB A/B cable. | 13:51 |
| Bodsda | djhash, i dont have one of them either :) damn, cheers anyway & jrib, dr_willis -- cheers | 13:51 |
| dr_willis | djhash, :) well thats 2 ends! :) | 13:51 |
| sinan | what's your favourite vnc client/server for ubuntu? | 13:52 |
| dr_willis | a normal usb a-b cable. that ya see used on printers/hubs/so forth. :) | 13:52 |
| dooglus | vnc4server | 13:52 |
| dr_willis | sinan, depends on the task at hand. I tend to use vnc4server for my needs | 13:52 |
| stylianos | What's the path to the recycle bin? | 13:52 |

| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 13:52 |
| ik-ook | mmm: I've libflashplayer.so on my desktop but when I try to open it the pc say that I cannot open it | 13:53 |
| dr_willis | ik-ook, why are you trying to open it? | 13:53 |
| zelexus | ik_ook: you should not open it. You should just move it. Do you have any terminal experince? | 13:54 |
| abibm_ | ? | 13:54 |
| ik-ook | because I cannot use youtube | 13:54 |
| zelexus | yes | 13:54 |
| dr_willis | ik-ook, you have used the 'normal' package manager method to install flash? | 13:55 |
| ik-ook | .tar.gz linux | 13:55 |
| jrib | Bodsda: one better: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/1907FP/en/setup.htm#Connecting%20Your%20Monitor | 13:55 |
| Ninina | I'm thinking of trying Ubuntu and I'm wondering about a few things, like do any of the versions have benefits over others, I know that U is gnome and KU is KDE from the site but that is meaningless to me | 13:55 |
| Bodsda | haha, cheers jrib :) | 13:56 |
| ik-ook | is It the right one? | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | ik-ook, you can install flash from the package manager tools. You do not need to manually download anything. | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | !flash | 13:56 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | ik-ook, installing the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package should install flash and other things you proberly want to maxamize your web experience. | 13:56 |
| zelexus | dr_willis: thank you. I was merely trying to help if he had a different archicture like AMD64. I assumed that was the problem at first. Sorry :) I'll let you handle this one :) | 13:57 |
| rocknzen | fd | 13:57 |
| Ninina | dr_willis: may I ask why they are called restricted, that makes them sound kinda legally grey or something | 13:57 |
| dr_willis | zelexus, hes on 64bit? No idea then. :) but im going to bed. 3rd shifter here. | 13:57 |
| kindofabuzz | dVs--, so did it work? | 13:57 |
| dr_willis | Ninina, they are not legally as 'free' as the other 'free' as in GPL free. stuff. | 13:58 |
| Bodsda | ik-ook, open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" | 13:58 |
| dr_willis | !free | 13:58 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 13:58 |
| zelexus | :) | 13:58 |
| rocknzen | j, | 13:58 |
| ik-ook | ok I'll try. thanks again | 13:58 |
| ik-ook | Bodsda, It is too difficult for me | 13:58 |
| dr_willis | Ninina, they re restricted in what you can do with them - ie: you cant do some things to the flash binaries, and so forth. normally | 13:58 |
| Bodsda | ik-ook, what is? | 13:58 |
| ik-ook | I'm a completely beginner | 13:58 |
| jlong | Somebody was saying something about copying libflashplayer.so to a directory in the home folder?? | 13:58 |
| dr_willis | ik-ook, you may want to go read that ubuntu-training-guide book then. | 13:59 |
| jlong | Or some file like that | 13:59 |
| Bodsda | ik-ook, thats fine, dont worry. Do you know what a terminal is? | 13:59 |
| dr_willis | !training | ik-ook | 13:59 |

| Debolaz | I eventually deinstalled flash because it made my browser so unstable. | 13:59 |
| Ninina | dr_willis: I see, I guess there isn't a better way to state it as non-free is also correct but confusing | 13:59 |
| Debolaz | I just use vmware for flash stuff now. | 13:59 |
| jlong | zelexus - I am thinking of trying that.. I looked for said file in said directory and it doesn't exist | 13:59 |
| jlong | the directory doesn't exist | 13:59 |
| wangor | hmm i'm trying to install tomcat5.5 on ubuntu but it doesn't work. Each time i do /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start it tells me it did start [ OK ] but in fact it does not. I've tried reading this file (/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5) but there's too much things there to figure out - any ideas what may go wrong ? | 14:00 |
| dr_willis | Ninina, they are Free. :) as in no $$. But no Free as in GPL free.. They have 1 or more restrictions to their freedom. that about summs it up | 14:00 |
| Bodsda | ik-ook, you stil here?? | 14:00 |
| wangor | i've got ubuntu 7.10 | 14:00 |
| ik-ook | ok guy, you give me a lot to read. I hope this help me. | 14:00 |
| ik-ook | ja I'm here | 14:01 |
| Ninina | Debolaz: so flash is unstable under linux? that must make the internet annoying? | 14:01 |
| zelexus | first of all create a "plugin" folder in your hidden mozilla directory. That is accomplished by doing the following in the terminal. mkdir plugins /home/'your-username'/.mozilla/firefox/ | 14:01 |
| Bodsda | ik-ook, do you know what a terminal is? | 14:01 |
| ik-ook | I'm opening the web pages you suggested me | 14:01 |
| Bodsda | Ninina, its actually quite stable for most people | 14:01 |
| ik-ook | dell latitude c400 | 14:01 |
| jlong | zelexus - following u | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | Ninina, i find that FLASH makes the internet annoying.. :) | 14:01 |
| Debolaz | Ninina: The official restricted flash plugin is somewhat unstable yes. But that's due to crappy programming by Adobe, and the nature of closed source software. | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | Ninina, to be honest - i dont have any flash issues that ive noticed on my linux machines.. Your Mileage may vary. | 14:02 |
| zelexus | jlong - have you downloaded the tar.gz package from adobes homepage? | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | If Flash was 'free' :) we could fix it! | 14:02 |
| ik-ook | that is a great community, compliment! | 14:02 |
| kindofabuzz | aye | 14:02 |
| kindofabuzz | fix gnash then =) | 14:02 |
| Bodsda | dr_willis, if it was foss yes | 14:02 |
| dooglus | dr_willis: can you try playing a youtube video fullscreen? | 14:02 |
| stylianos | What's the library to play encrypted dvds? | 14:02 |
| arvind_khadri | dr_willis, Ninina use gnash then :) | 14:02 |
| jlong | zelexus - I had already installed the Adobe player from within synaptic | 14:02 |
| zelexus | ok. | 14:03 |
| kindofabuzz | gnash is just as bad as flash, well maybe better now | 14:03 |
| Bodsda | ik-ook, please answer me, do you know how to open a terminal? | 14:03 |
| zelexus | jlong - 2 secs | 14:03 |
| jlong | sure | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | dooglus, some flash sites work full. some dont.. Im testing out Flash 10 right now.. :) | 14:03 |
| ik-ook | no, I don't know, sorry | 14:03 |
| arvind_khadri | Bodsda, applications->accessories->terminal | 14:03 |
| Ninina | dr_willis: I'm only thinking of half and half for now until I make sure what I need can be done under linux without a headache | 14:03 |
| Bodsda | thanks arvind_khadri lol | 14:03 |
| hateball | Is there a way to make "cp" display how long an operation has taken, and at what speed it has written data? | 14:03 |
| kindofabuzz | dr_willis, that's because some sites haven't updated to 10 | 14:04 |
| Bodsda | ik-ook, applications->accessories->terminal in the menus -- open one now | 14:04 |
| dr_willis | Ninina, depends on the task i guess.. I find computers are often a headache.. reguardless of the os. | 14:04 |
| arvind_khadri | hateball, cp --verbose maybe | 14:04 |
| dr_willis | kindofabuzz, the sites say 'for full screen update your flash' :) and im using the latest flash10 beta.. heh | 14:04 |
| zelexus | jlong: go to this page, and download the "tar.gz for linux version" http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash | 14:04 |
| ik-ook | I try | 14:04 |
| Bodsda | hateball, not sure, but -v makes it easier to see if its still working | 14:04 |
| kindofabuzz | dr_willis, yeah they haven't coded there pages to use it yet so it just thinks you don't have flash | 14:05 |
| Debolaz | So far, the only two general purpose program I haven't been able to find a suitable open source replacement for though is Vmware. | 14:05 |
| jlong | zelexus - ok, got it | 14:05 |
| stylianos | What's the library to play encrypted dvds? | 14:05 |
| ik-ook | bodsda, and then? | 14:05 |
| jrib | !dvd | stylianos | 14:05 |
| hateball | Bodsda, arvind_khadri : -verbose only shows which file it's copying | 14:05 |
| ubottu | stylianos: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 14:05 |
| dr_willis | kindofabuzz, 3 weeks ago cbs.com also broke flash under firefox under linux, and windows. :( | 14:05 |
| Bodsda | ik-ook, type "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" without the quotes | 14:05 |
| zelexus | jlong - then unpack the folder to your desktop or whatever | 14:05 |
| arvind_khadri | hateball, then maybe you will have to script for the speed thing | 14:06 |
| hateball | arvind_khadri: Yeah I guess so :) | 14:06 |
| jlong | zelexus - done | 14:06 |
| zelexus | jlong - there should be two or three files in there. One of them is called "libflash.so". Something like that. | 14:06 |
| arvind_khadri | hateball, but in GUI it shows the rate at which it copies | 14:06 |

| zelexus | jlong - we need to copy that file to the directory you have just created | 14:07 |

| monostone | I somehow managed to mess up the keymappings for my logitech USB G11 keyboard media keys. Xorg.0.log is beggining to report a "(II) Unreported Prefix0 scancode: 0x22" message, i investigated a bit and saw that the hex codes the messages print are the keydown scancode of the media keys as detected by running "showkey -s". BUT xev does NOT detect the media keys anymore, on the other hand in gnome keyboard shortcuts the keys ARE dete | 14:12 |
| monostone | cted, also running "lshal -m" does detect the keysym for all the media keys. Media players like Rythymbox continue to have the media keys working, but totem has lost them. Any pointers as to what the problem is? could this be a kernel keymap issue? or since the message appears in my Xorg.0.log, is it a X issue? | 14:12 |
| Bodsda | nightcrawla, the universe, unfortunately religeous nut cases screwed it up millenia ago - so much documentation to write now | 14:12 |

| jlong | ndlovu - you sure it's installed? | 14:17 |
| Bodsda | ndlovu, type firefox then press tab twice, this should show you all the firefox versions/options | 14:17 |
| morningwalker | where do i find virtualbox after installation?? | 14:17 |
| jrib | Ninina: you see commands here because it's easier to tell someone a command over irc than to tell them where to click | 14:17 |
| Bodsda | morningwalker, apps--> system tools | 14:17 |
| ndlovu | Bodsda, jlong I only get firefox as a command | 14:18 |
| Ninina | what country is Ubuntu's restricted extras legality? | 14:18 |
| arvind_khadri | jlong, its just firefox | 14:18 |
| morningwalker | not there!! | 14:18 |
| Bodsda | ndlovu, type firefox --version | 14:18 |
| jlong | he said he wanted to specify firefox version 2, though | 14:18 |
| jrib | Ninina: you need to ask your lawyer for legal advice | 14:18 |
| Bodsda | morningwalker, what isnt? | 14:18 |
| jlong | I can launch firefox-2 from terminal | 14:18 |
| ndlovu | Bodsda, it returns 2.0.0.16 | 14:18 |
| morningwalker | virtualbox in system tools | 14:18 |
| Bodsda | Ninina, what country are you in? | 14:18 |
| Bodsda | ndlovu, then the command 'firefox' runs firefox 2 | 14:19 |
| morningwalker | just NTFS configuration tools | 14:19 |
| Bodsda | ndlovu, you dont have ff3 | 14:19 |
| ndlovu | Bodsda, but if I type firefox from the commandline, then version 3 opens | 14:19 |
| Ninina | jrib:if that is the case I guess I'll have to pass on Ubuntu because I cannot afford legal advice | 14:19 |
| jlong | I would get rid of Version 3 | 14:19 |
| soundray | Ninina: it's not an issue of jurisdiction. "Restricted" parts of ubuntu are not covered by OSI compliant licences | 14:19 |

| soundray | amikrop: no, but it's the first thing you could try, because it often helps and is easy to do | 15:29 |
| ioops | erUSUL: and I don t know which kernel the ubuntu install by default | 15:29 |

| tavi | someone know? | 15:29 |
| unfo | tavi: know what? | 15:29 |

| nomoa | erUSUL, thanks I'll try to add zabbix user to admin | 16:29 |
| Steeps | hihi, dipping my feet into linux for the first time after trying a live cd, was hoping to build a file server which will eventually expand into router stuff, web server and printer server, but at the same time I'd like to use it for messengers etc so I don't have to leave another pc on. does ubuntu server allow this or do i want desktop and then add things like samba to that? | 16:29 |
| keewee | LjL: Thanks! LOL, I'm so new to this... | 16:30 |
| soundray | kane77: this page has a good explanation: http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/ | 16:30 |
| erUSUL | nomoa: you can also make a sudoers rule to let zabbix run only ps with sudo. depends on how much you trust the user | 16:30 |
| kane77 | soundray, thank you | 16:30 |
| erUSUL | Steeps: well for a start server has no gui so maybe for a begginer is better to install desktop and install server software | 16:31 |
| nomoa | erUSUL, in facts it's a monitoring process it needs to access the whole process list, and it can't be run as root for security reasons... I can't make zabbix to use sudo... | 16:31 |
| Steeps | thanks erUSUL, wasn't sure if server had a gui or not, will stick with desktop then :) | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | nomoa: so zabbix is the user some monitoring app is running under ? | 16:32 |
| nomoa | erUSUL, yes zabbix_agentd is the process | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | Steeps: you can make viceversa install server version and add gui later ;P talk about flexibility | 16:32 |

| usser | err | 16:42 |
| blazerrr | usser, how? | 16:42 |
| LjL | Xtyn: because that's how the Ubuntu release schedule works. once a release is out, stuff isn't added or changed (aside from fixing bugs). | 16:42 |
| usser | blazerrr, sorry wrong window. what was your question? | 16:42 |
| erUSUL | Xtyn: www.getdeb.net and backports repo show that's not allways the case | 16:42 |
| blazerrr | usser does anybody knows how could i just copy directoryes that their size is diferrent than cero ?? | 16:43 |
| usser | blazerrr, oh try cp -R dir1/ newname/ | 16:43 |
| erUSUL | ioops3: have you managed to install the older kernel ? | 16:43 |
| LjL | Xtyn: there isn't a compelling technical reason for that, but it helps ensure that things remain stable, and lets developers concentrate on making them so. other distributions don't necessarily work this way. | 16:43 |

| monostone | I somehow messed up the keymapping for my logitech USB G11 keyboard media keys. Xorg.0.log is beggining to report a "(II) Unreported Prefix0 scancode: 0x22" message, i investigated a bit and saw that the hex codes the messages print are the keydown scancode of the media keys as reported via "showkey -s". BUT xev does NOT detect the media keys anymore (no keycode, keysym, nothing), on the other hand in gnome keyboard shortcuts the | 16:52 |
| monostone | keys ARE detected, also running "lshal -m" does detect the keysym for all the media keys. Rythymbox continues to have the media keys working (I suppose because it uses its own mapping settings), but totem has lost them. Any pointers as to what the problem is? could this be a kernel keymap issue? or since the message appears in my Xorg.0.log, is it a X issue? | 16:52 |

| blazerrr | shadowhywind, mmm issue the command "mount" alone, look the attributes of the ext3 partition and compare with the others partitions, after that you could modify fstab | 17:07 |
| pdlnhrd | amanulla: you could also go to System -> Administrator -> Synaptic Package Manger and search for rar... it will list programs that will work | 17:08 |
| shadowhywind | blazerrr: thats the thing, they are the same permissions as my home partition | 17:08 |

| ubottu | emorris, unfo: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 17:30 |

| unfo | Mr-S: oops, i forgot. sudo -i is better | 17:31 |
| unfo | Mr-S: it sets PATH for one thing | 17:31 |
| unfo | and it does more | 17:31 |
| ioops | soundray: maybe he doesn t found the file on the paritition | 17:31 |
| erUSUL | blazerrr: maybe you should try in #bash there you will find cli wizards better than i | 17:31 |
| blazerrr | erUSUL all right thank you so much! | 17:31 |
| soundray | emorris: sudo -i gives you a sane environment. sudo su may or may not do it correctly | 17:31 |

| erUSUL | blackvd: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 17:39 |
| soundray | blackvd: wrong approach | 17:39 |
| erUSUL | blackvd: but you should be using the drivers provided by ubuntu | 17:40 |

| erUSUL | banisterfiend: first we make the first field of the record an empty string then we print the modified record with the first field being a empty string it does not appear on output | 17:52 |
| banisterfiend | erUSUL: ok thanks, pretty much what im trying to do is i downloaded a source code listing with line numbers i am trying to strip the line numbers about before i use it | 17:52 |

| Mr-S | I am sorry ! I dont get ubunutu .... :( | 17:53 |
| dsde | dGodFatheR, you can change font / font size their (among other things) | 17:54 |

| mizipzor | sometimes when running programs in wine, my sound in gnome stops working | 17:57 |
| ioops2 | soundray: no, if I made this commande I have ls: cannot access /mnt/boot: No such file or directory | 17:57 |
| recon69 | squarebracket: language should not really matter, just be able to create a memory resident program that can use smtp | 17:57 |
| erUSUL | banisterfiend: in fact it would (/me should learn how to read man pages) « cut -f2- -d' ' < input_file > output_file » | 17:57 |
| ioops2 | soundray: I made just a simple ls in /mnt | 17:57 |
| squarebracket | recon69: memory resident = daemon? | 17:58 |
| ioops2 | soundray: and /dev/hda3 was already mount in chroot | 17:58 |
| soundray | ioops2: please make sure you answer my questions exactly. This error message contains the clue to your problem, I think. | 17:58 |
| ioops2 | soundray: ok | 17:58 |
| dGodFatheR | I can't find my ~/.Xdefaults. why is that? | 17:58 |
| recon69 | squarebracket: yep , it has to be a demon so that it can check the mailbox for new mail every so often | 17:58 |
| ioops2 | if I made your command I have this error message | 17:58 |
| banisterfiend | thanks erUSUL, but i think the problem is that the line numbers dont appear on every line, but the lines they appear on they are the first field | 17:59 |
| squarebracket | recon69: couldn't i just use cron? | 17:59 |
| erUSUL | dGodFatheR: you haven't created one and none has done it for you | 17:59 |
| mizipzor | ...and it seems my volume controller is missing from the tray | 17:59 |
| soundray | ioops2: do a 'cd /mnt ; sudo ln -sf . boot' (watch all the spaces carefully) | 17:59 |
| recon69 | squarebracket: sure, that would be an approach. | 17:59 |
| squarebracket | recon69: i'm foolish. i can probably do this by myself. i'm sure python has an smtp module. | 17:59 |

| f00li5h | meow | 18:00 |
| ioops2 | soundray: no result | 18:00 |
| soundray | ioops2: good, now do a 'ls -ld /mnt/boot' (the output should be short) | 18:00 |
| erUSUL | dGodFatheR: the file does not exist becouse it is not there by default you have to create it yourself if you need it | 18:00 |

| dGodFatheR | erUSUL: in that case how do i know what should be written in it, and how | 18:01 |
| ioops2 | yes | 18:01 |

| Mr-S | the thing is that root is basically disabled thoughout the system ... I only need root access to midy the system for a friend because he is coming from windows, and i thoughyt ubuntu will be the right choice for him. | 18:12 |
| ioops | soundray: but the third entry is the -18 version | 18:12 |
| ioops | soundray: now i am in the initramfs prompt | 18:12 |
| Mr-S | looks like i have a lot to learn about ubuntu .... ) | 18:12 |
| blackvd | Mr-S: For easy root file management I use mc and run it with sudo mc in bash | 18:12 |
| soundray | 18:10 <ioops> soundray: i am trying with the first entry now | 18:13 |
| vinu76js1 | got my fifa match bye | 18:13 |
| soundray | ioops: what did you mean when you said this ^^? | 18:13 |
| coagen | is there an ubuntu-legal channel? | 18:13 |
| Mr-S | this one will work, but for security reaosn I like a root account by ssh and on his desktop to solve his problems. But i am not so used to ubuntu. tried some version but .. ( no offence ) its not for me | 18:14 |
| ioops | soundray: i write in private | 18:14 |
| zoed | Hi! Does anybody know where nautilus saves the icon for a specific file? I mean, if I right clicked the file and chose another icon for just that file. | 18:14 |
| Mr-S | but thanks anyway .. i will manage this way using MC . | 18:14 |
| coagen | zoed: not sure about that specific... but most icons are stored in /usr/share/icons or /usr/share/pixmaps | 18:15 |
| jskjerin | Hva skjer a | 18:15 |
| zoed | yes, but how does nautilus know which file I gave which icon (if I changed the default icon) | 18:15 |
| tux | anyone use ubuntu and cisco router? | 18:16 |
| coagen | zoed: i would assume that would be somewhere in your home folder in the .config folder or the .gnome2 folder or even in the .nautilus folder | 18:17 |
| jskjerin | noen som skjønner hva jeg gjør her | 18:17 |
| Pici | !no | jskjerin | 18:18 |

| Sobaka | My firefox on ubuntu 8.04 doesn't show up the missing plugin dialog when a plugin misses. What can I do about this? | 18:18 |
| StepNjump | Eh guys, can anyone help me? | 18:19 |
| darjeeling | -.-;; | 18:19 |
| Pici | StepNjump: Ask a question and maybe we can. | 18:19 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S solved? | 18:20 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S I'll do the same thing like you | 18:20 |
| ech0dish | my laptop fails to boot off battery power | 18:20 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S for managing client in office | 18:20 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S about 20-30 ubuntu machines in nat network | 18:20 |
| StepNjump | can anyone kindly tell me how I could see my networked hard drives on another machine running XP please? | 18:21 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S be careful about root password. In these days ssh brute-force attack is normal | 18:21 |
| zoed | coagen: I can't find it. | 18:21 |
| darjeeling | StepNjump just see or mount it? | 18:21 |
| StepNjump | oh thank you darjeeling | 18:21 |
| coagen | Sobaka: dont know about the missing plugin showing thing... but if you want to install flash just do "sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" without quotes from a terminal | 18:22 |
| ech0dish | anyone got any idea's as to why my dell d600 will not boot off battery power, ndiswrapper is conflicting with something | 18:22 |
| ech0dish | but only on battery power | 18:22 |
| StepNjump | I will try that. I don't know how to mount but I'm sure I'll find something on that on the help files | 18:22 |
| ech0dish | works fine on dc | 18:22 |
| Sobaka | coagen: that I did, but ff will still give the error | 18:22 |
| shahrukh | hey guys | 18:23 |
| darjeeling | StepNjump hmm I don't know what exactly ubuntu way | 18:23 |
| coagen | zoed: heh... dont know what to tell you... google is your friend :) | 18:23 |
| shahrukh | can any one help me with a ubuntu query? | 18:23 |
| darjeeling | StepNjump but normally you can mount | 18:23 |
| StepNjump | I guess the best way would be to use bash right? | 18:23 |
| Pici | shahrukh: Ask away | 18:23 |
| coagen | Sobaka: backup your bookmarks and delete your .firefox and .mozilla folder... | 18:23 |
| darjeeling | StepNjump mount -t cifs -o username=username,password=password //windowsmachineip/servicenmae /mountpoint | 18:23 |
| coagen | Sobaka: you'll loose your saved passwords and stuff but that might fix it | 18:23 |
| Mr-S | thanks for the tip .. beeing a slackware user for many years i knwo the riscs.. | 18:23 |
| StepNjump | oh awesome | 18:23 |
| StepNjump | but what is mountpoint? | 18:24 |
| darjeeling | StepNjump In ubuntu way I think yuou can search with desktop | 18:24 |
| shahrukh | im basically trying to copy a .dll file to a windows directory system32.. the file is on my desktop.. how do i use sudo cp to do this | 18:24 |
| banisterfiend | if tar -czvf $SRC_NAME $SOURCES | 18:24 |
| banisterfiend | then | 18:24 |
| banisterfiend | echo "error making package!" | 18:24 |

| z_ | 有没有人写中文的啊， | 18:24 |
| LjL | shahrukh: sudo cp ~/Desktop/file.dll /directory/where/windows/is/mounted/windows/system32 | 18:24 |
| LjL | with the appropriate case | 18:24 |
| StepNjump | I think it used to be darjeeling but now unfortunately, there's nothing in the windows network window | 18:24 |
| LjL | !zh | z_ | 18:24 |
| ubottu | z_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 18:24 |
| darjeeling | StepNjump mount point is where you want to see the mounted files system | 18:24 |
| darjeeling | hmm | 18:25 |
| StepNjump | ok | 18:25 |
| shahrukh | windows is on my c drive | 18:25 |
| darjeeling | in thae case I recommand smbclient | 18:25 |
| StepNjump | could you give me an example of mountpoint? | 18:25 |
| z_ | the chinese where go to ,???? | 18:25 |

| z_ | help me | 18:25 |
| LjL | z_: type /join #ubuntu-cn | 18:25 |
| darjeeling | like /mnt/ ? | 18:25 |
| darjeeling | or | 18:25 |
| shahrukh | its like c:\windows | 18:25 |
| darjeeling | yes | 18:25 |
| LjL | shahrukh: "C:" means something to Windows only, it doesn't mean anything to Linux. you need to have the Windows partition mounted somewhere. | 18:25 |
| LjL | !windowsdrives > shahrukh (shahrukh, see the private message from Ubotu) | 18:25 |
| ubottu | shahrukh, please see my private message | 18:25 |
| StepNjump | oh ok thanks I will try that | 18:26 |
| darjeeling | StepNjump ok | 18:26 |
| darjeeling | =) | 18:26 |
| coagen | wow this channel is raging | 18:26 |
| jedimind | shhh | 18:26 |
| shahrukh | dude this good.. thanks a lot.. ill try this and let u know how this goes | 18:26 |
| === Qster_ is now known as Qster | ||
| banisterfiend | how do i set a variable equal to the exit status of a shell command? (using bash) | 18:27 |
| LjL | banisterfiend: variable=$? | 18:27 |
| === Q_Contoxicated is now known as Q_Continuum | ||
| banisterfiend | LjL: ok, thanks..that's nice. but can't i just go var=`tar (etc)` | 18:28 |
| banisterfiend | or var=tar(etc) | 18:28 |
| Mr-S | bassically ssh will only answer to my machine | 18:28 |
| LjL | banisterfiend: that puts the *output* of the command into the variable, not the *exit status* | 18:29 |
| LjL | banisterfiend: and, it's deprecated too, you should use $() instead of `` | 18:29 |
| Mr-S | the simple way will be to modify iptables .. the better way ( secret ;) ) | 18:29 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S ok good | 18:29 |
| banisterfiend | LjL: ah ok, so how would i test the exit status in an if statement of a shell command? if tar(etc) | 18:29 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S what way? | 18:29 |
| coagen | ok so I had a concern... I saw an article in a magazine called "VegNews" its a magazine for vegans... about a company in cali called "ubuntu" and I said WHAT? It appears to be a resturant and yoga studio, as you can see from their website: http://ubuntunapa.com then I clicked on the nelson mandela video and noticed they used the same one that ubuntu/canonical produced several years ago! it even has the freaking ubuntu logo in the corne | 18:29 |
| coagen | r....... so as a concerned ubuntu citizen i called and asked a few questions... | 18:29 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S I think it's best with iptables! | 18:30 |
| LjL | banisterfiend: you don't. run the command first, then "if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then ..." | 18:30 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S hmm pam? cross-cable? nat? or something? | 18:30 |
| LjL | banisterfiend: $? is the only variable that gives you access to exit status (well, not strictly true, there's another for piped commands) | 18:30 |
| banisterfiend | ok thanks, LjL, how of interest, why the double [[ ? | 18:30 |
| Mr-S | try iptables plus something else. think of a sort of fingerprint id with 2 way accaptance ..... | 18:30 |
| banisterfiend | out* | 18:30 |
| Qster | how do i get my display to use 120hz? | 18:31 |
| LjL | banisterfiend: with "-eq", you don't really need them, i'm just used to having them. they're used for advanced test operators in bash. | 18:31 |
| Qster | max it shows is 60 | 18:31 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S port knocking is good solution think about it | 18:31 |
| banisterfiend | ok cheer | 18:31 |
| banisterfiend | s | 18:31 |
| banisterfiend | you've helped alot thanks | 18:31 |
| Mr-S | after root logiong on ssh it will need a certain file trnasfer to unlock yo from the tmp dir. only than you wil have access to the system. otherwise you will stay locked to tmp | 18:31 |
| darjeeling | Mr-S hmm using profile ? | 18:32 |
| LjL | banisterfiend: wait, what did i just say... | 18:32 |
| Mr-S | ssh brute force is really a pain in the (^&&*^*^*^). | 18:32 |
| LjL | banisterfiend: you *can* do direct tests on exit status | 18:32 |
| LjL | banisterfiend: if tar etc; then ... will work | 18:32 |
| coagen | their number is 7072515656, I talked to "courtney" and she said they were aware of the linux os, and no that they did not use it, and i asked her they why they used the ubuntu video about nelson mandela... she claimed that that was just about the word, and I said, no it has the ubuntu logo! I asked her if she thought it was apropriate for her company to shamelessly use a video produced for ubuntu linux with out mentioning ubuntu linux | 18:32 |
| coagen | on their website or using it on their computers | 18:32 |
| Mr-S | Sorry can not evaluate this stuff on an open channel | 18:33 |
| darjeeling | haha ok | 18:33 |
| darjeeling | just wonder | 18:33 |
| Mr-S | but lets lay iptables, filters and logs can do a lot | 18:33 |
| darjeeling | ah | 18:33 |
| darjeeling | got it | 18:33 |
| darjeeling | got a hint in a logs | 18:34 |
| Mr-S | i cannot say no more in open channel | 18:34 |
| darjeeling | ok | 18:34 |
| darjeeling | =) | 18:34 |
| Mr-S | one little question, I have ( lol ) . Do you think ubuntu is for advanced users as well ? ( just an open discussion) | 18:36 |
| glh | mama | 18:36 |
| glh | kikjikj | 18:36 |
| StepNjump | darjeeling, it doesn,t work | 18:36 |

| Pici | Mr-S: This channel is really for support, not so much open discussions. Check out #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to chat. | 18:37 |
| StepNjump | Why, it's not good? | 18:37 |
| shahrukh | hey LjL, im still having a bit of trouble getting the sudo cp done... my windows directory is in a mount named sda1 which is displayed on my desktop.. hope that can help u give me an exact syntax... | 18:37 |

| darjeeling | Pici wow it's only for support? | 18:38 |
| LjL | shahrukh: it's probably mounted as /media/sda1. type "ls /media/sda1", and tell me whether it gives you an error or, rather, shows you your windows drive's contents. | 18:38 |
| Pici | !ot | darjeeling yes | 18:38 |
| ubottu | darjeeling yes: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 18:38 |

| LjL | Ashal: i really suggest you do that sort of stuff in the server tab, or you'll eventually give out your password to us by mistake. | 18:39 |
| darjeeling | I was in wonder why are these questions. | 18:39 |
| Ashal | Thanks | 18:39 |
| shahrukh | aight ill try the mount then.. cheers | 18:40 |

| LjL | shahrukh: that might mean the filesystem is corrupted... | 18:43 |
| LjL | or the drive is faulty, too | 18:43 |
| shahrukh | ah... | 18:43 |
| shahrukh | do u think i should just reinstall windows then? | 18:43 |

| Pici | jonah1980: Try ##hardware or ##networking , this is really Ubuntu related. | 18:44 |
| Pici | jonah1980: er, s/is/isn't/ | 18:45 |
| LjL | shahrukh: you should probably try running chkdsk on windows first | 18:46 |
| shahrukh | windows wont even start... | 18:46 |
| shahrukh | the file is corrupted cuz it keeps telling me to install a copy of it... | 18:47 |
| shahrukh | windows doesnt even load | 18:47 |

| shahrukh | i mean from ubuntu | 18:48 |
| shahrukh | or even rename it | 18:48 |

| === shagy is now known as mozuk | ||
| DechWerks | m0u3e - backport as in older revision? | 18:54 |
| m0u5e | DechWerks: no i have the newest from getdeb, but its a dep nightmare | 18:55 |
| m0u5e | DechWerks: i want to install them, but they depend on each other and wont let me install | 18:55 |
| Pici | YaKkO_FJV: What exactly are you trying to do? | 18:55 |
| m0u5e | DechWerks: so i'm wondering if i can force an install? | 18:55 |
| DechWerks | oh - I used synaptec to resolve dep issues | 18:56 |
| Agg[sleep] | . | 18:56 |
| DechWerks | but the 3.5 ver keeps crashing as it can't handle Nulls properly | 18:56 |

| Daisuke_Ido | m0u5e: enable the backports repo and upgrade pidgin | 18:56 |
| banisterfiend | when passing arguments to my bash function do i go myfunction(MYVAR) or myfunction($MYVAR) ? | 18:56 |
| klaidas | how can i switch from (let's say) GNOME to Fluxbox? | 18:56 |
| m0u5e | Daisuke_Ido: the one in getdeb is newer than backports | 18:56 |
| m0u5e | Daisuke_Ido: i already have backports enabled | 18:57 |
| shahrukh | hey LjL.. cud u send me ur last reply.... i accidently closed the chat and didnt get the syntax u gave me | 18:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but that wasn't the question | 18:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | <m0u5e> any idea how to install pidgin in backports guys? | 18:57 |
| LjL | shahrukh: i think your HD might have failed. install "smartmontools" and run "sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda" | 18:57 |
| nandemonai | klaidas, at login choose session. | 18:57 |
| shahrukh | thanks a lot dude | 18:57 |
| nandemonai | klaidas, provided flux is installed of course :) | 18:57 |
| m0u5e | Daisuke_Ido: oops sorry, dunno what i said there | 18:57 |
| klaidas | k, thx. :) | 18:57 |
| m0u5e | Daisuke_Ido: what i meant was, how do I install pidgin manually as .deb packages | 18:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but you're wondering how to resolve deps from the getdeb package | 18:58 |
| m0u5e | Daisuke_Ido: because gdebi wont let me install cause they're all deps of each other | 18:58 |
| m0u5e | Daisuke_Ido: yeah | 18:58 |
| shahrukh | it says that Smart Health Status: OK | 18:58 |
| rampageoberon | hi, any idea why i'm getting errors such as "[xxx] butter i/o error on device fd0, logical block 0 | 18:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | m0u5e: comfortable with a terminal? | 18:59 |
| m0u5e | Daisuke_Ido: yeah, ive tried aptitude and dpkg already with no luck :( | 18:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | download all three, stick them in a directory (that preferably doesn't have any other .debs in it) and dpkg -i * | 18:59 |
| shahrukh | does that mean my harddisk is not corrupted? | 18:59 |
| === pingu is now known as Guest46749 | ||
| Daisuke_Ido | shahrukh: it means that as far as the SMART failure detection goes, the drive is fine. there can be other issues, but you're most likely okay. | 19:00 |
| lakin | I suppose this must be an often asked question, but how do I get the appropriate SSL certificates for pidgin 2.5.0 that just got installed (likely from backports) ? | 19:00 |
| shahrukh | okay.. i tried to copy hal.dll to my windows system32 directory but it came bak with a input/output error.. then LjL told me run Smartmon and it came around to this... do u reckon i re-install my windows?? | 19:01 |
| DechWerks | ok - so, XMMS is obsoleted, and I don't want to run rythembox - any recommendations on a music player? | 19:02 |
| DechWerks | (I liked XMMS) | 19:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | DechWerks: were you particularly fond of the xmms/winamp style player? | 19:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ah | 19:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you want audacious | 19:02 |
| m0u5e | Daisuke_Ido: so any ideas? | 19:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | spiritual successor | 19:02 |
| LjL | shahrukh: if it says "ok", it probably means it doesn't think it's corrupted, no? anyway, the HD might be physically fine, and yet the Windows filesystem broken. | 19:02 |
| m0u5e | audacious <3 | 19:02 |
| DechWerks | thx m0u5e | 19:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | m0u5e: looking at it now. you've completely removed the old one, right? | 19:03 |
| DechWerks | Daisuke_ido - yes | 19:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | with --purge | 19:03 |
| m0u5e | shahrukh: try using ntfs-tools ntfsfix | 19:03 |
| shahrukh | so then re-install windows then?? | 19:03 |

| m0u5e | Daisuke_Ido: i used sudo apt-get --purge autoremove pidgin | 19:03 |
| shahrukh | lets c how dat works | 19:03 |
| m0u5e | shahrukh: if you can still boot into windows, you could also try start>run>cmd chkdsk C: /f within windows | 19:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | m0u5e: unfortunately, i'm about out of ideas. | 19:04 |
| bytor4232 | xintron: I could give you the script that I used, but it took a lot of playing to get it working right. | 19:04 |
| m0u5e | is there a way to force package installs ignoring dependancies? | 19:05 |
| shahrukh | cant even load up windows dude | 19:05 |
| m0u5e | i know there is... i just don't remember @__@; | 19:05 |
| xintron | bytor4232: ok, you don't have an easy GUI app that will do what I need? | 19:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | LjL: any idea on installing pidgin from getdeb? three parts to it, and apparently installing a single one depends on the other two... | 19:05 |
| soundray | m0u5e: dpkg --force-depends -i | 19:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | there ya go | 19:05 |
| shahrukh | wats the command i should be using for ntfsfix mou5e | 19:05 |
| LjL | Daisuke_Ido: i don't use pidgin or for that matter gnome, and for that matter i'd never advice installing from getdeb something *that is in the repos* | 19:06 |

| bytor4232 | xintron: The most important bits are lines 4 and 6. iPods are very perticular about how a file is encoded. | 19:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | charles_: if you choose, you can still install the 32-bit version | 19:12 |

| LiH2 | BigBear: I have two laptops running and dont have that problem, so maybe it is | 19:16 |
| BigBear | yeah the head parking | 19:16 |
| Cameljon | BigBear, It still does the parking thing. AFAIK | 19:16 |
| DechWerks | ok - a better way to phrase my current problem - I have a SATA and IDE drive. Currently, boot fails due to a failing FSCK on the IDE drive - BUT if I physically do not have this drive present, it does not boot at all. I assume I need to work on the boot partition of the SATA drive and re-initialize Grub but I am not sure | 19:16 |

| Assemblage | can someone help me configure aircrack in my ubuntu | 19:19 |
| Assemblage | ? | 19:19 |
| Cameljon | LiH2, There is a laptop head parking problem that shortens the life of your hard drive. But it's only apparent if you look for it | 19:19 |
| Gnea | ijustam: no, but you can disable apache from running once it's installed | 19:19 |
| ijustam | groan | 19:19 |
| DechWerks | assemblage - first question - do you have the drivers in place? | 19:20 |
| Gnea | why would you not want apache on there anyway? | 19:20 |
| ijustam | bad choice for requires imo :\ | 19:20 |
| ijustam | because.. i want to use lighttpd? | 19:20 |

| Assemblage | so i want configure all by begining | 19:21 |
| Cameljon | BigBear, hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda will stop the spinning down/parking | 19:21 |
| DechWerks | well, the drivers is the hard part in my experience | 19:21 |

| Cameljon | Gnea, it's not the same problem | 19:26 |

| BigBear | Aquahallic: yes 2TB | 19:49 |
| Peewe666 | How do I go private? Sorry first timer here... ;) | 19:49 |

| BigBear | jfs has a max of 16TB on 32BIt cpu and 4PB on 64Bit | 19:50 |

| Aquahallic | is that for FAT? | 19:53 |
| BigBear | Use JFS it has no reserved space and less overhead? | 19:53 |
| NuwenPham | Users settings dialog has "Unlock" greyed out | 19:53 |
| Zaiden | Is it possible to remove PulseAudio and replace it with esd without completely screwing up your ubuntu installation? | 19:53 |
| christooopher_ | anyone know where ubuntu hides the files on a drive when u choose to install without partitioning? | 19:53 |
| BigBear | jfs is a filesystem like ext3 and its a little more fast than ext3. | 19:53 |
| Aquahallic | can I convert existing? or do I need to completely reformat? | 19:54 |
| TelnetManta | Can anyone tell me how to rescan for new hardware? My nic isnt showing up. | 19:54 |

| jrib | Peewe666: don't know | 19:57 |
| nandemonai | Aquahallic, if you can afford to reformat without losing anything I'd suggest trying again and double checking your using the whole drive. | 19:57 |
| Peewe666 | jrib I really don't think so tho... | 19:58 |
| jrib | Peewe666: did you test if disabling effects makes the problem go away? | 19:58 |

However, when I run "./configure --with-odbc --enable-threads" it generates a Makefile in the ./src directory which still contains the @AMDEP_TRUE@ style variables.

| SDuensin | Babbleback - http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/VideoLAN-HOWTO.html#AEN435 | 20:17 |
| pawel | franklin: just teasing you ;) | 20:17 |
| jrib | Babbleback: try mplayer :) (wfm) | 20:17 |
| franklin | pawel:can you hack ubuntu | 20:18 |
| xim | noodlesgc: cool, im trying to buy a laptop though so i gotta see if i can find that, thanks | 20:18 |
| SDuensin | jrib - Some of the threads say I'll get this install error if I failed to check the box when the license for Java was displayed. If that's the case, how on earth do you get another chance? | 20:18 |
| pawel | franklin: rm -rf / normally does the trick | 20:18 |
| noodlesgc | xim try the Inspiron 1525 preinstalled with ubuntu, not a bad price either. | 20:18 |
| noodlesgc | xim *from Dell | 20:18 |
| Myrtti | !danger | 20:18 |
| jrib | franklin: do not do that | 20:18 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 20:18 |
| jrib | pawel: do not recommend that even with stupid questions | 20:19 |
| jrib | SDuensin: are you installing in a shell? | 20:19 |
| SDuensin | jrib - First time, when it got screwed up, was in Symantic. Now I'm in a shell. I can do either. | 20:19 |
| pawel | jrib: ok, just sounds like a troll | 20:20 |
| Realcoolguy | yeah, you forgot to put sudo or some kind of superuser in front of it ;) (no don't run rm [remove] commands on the / [or root] directories anyone) | 20:20 |
| Babbleback | SDuensin, took it a few tries but it's playing | 20:20 |
| jrib | SDuensin: 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' doesn't give you the license question? | 20:20 |
| jrib | pawel: yeah, but other users might try the command | 20:20 |
| tyger | hi | 20:20 |

| McAfee17 | ShackJack: did you use the lifehacker thing? | 20:38 |
| McAfee17 | can anyone help? | 20:38 |

| pc_ | pc | 20:40 |
| ShackJack | Pen McAfee17 - I don't think chrome is worth the effort, but if you're curious I suppose ;) | 20:40 |
| SDuensin | pen - It's coming to Linux. Just wait. It's not that great at the moment anyway. | 20:40 |
| noodlesgc | EJ no problem | 20:40 |
| McAfee17 | shackjack: i ran it on a windows box, it was fun but still not worth making a switch, and def. not worth all the setup in chrome | 20:40 |
| ShackJack | Matai: You might want to describe the nature of this failure and someone could help you with a sucessfull install :) | 20:40 |
| McAfee17 | how do i get my cd drive back?! | 20:41 |
| ShackJack | McAfee17: No, it has a looooong way to go... though the underlying mem sturcture is intriguing... | 20:41 |

| W1MNK | Trying to login to 8.10Alpha4 in Vmware Player2, and cannot get any input in the username field. | 20:46 |
| MaximLevitsky | Penopticon, so f-spot can't print on anything but A4, am I right? | 20:46 |
| DarkShadow791 | Well im trying to connect to my wireless router provided by verizon | 20:46 |
| Penopticon | DarkShadow791: You may find more help from the forum where you can post and have people mull it over. | 20:46 |
| noodlesgc | W1MNK intrepid issues are discussed in #ubuntu+1 | 20:47 |
| DarkShadow791 | and it uses wep encryption. but when i enter my password, it constantly "connects" but never does anything | 20:47 |
| DarkShadow791 | i poked around the forums but i'm fairly new to linux and didnt understand half of what was there | 20:47 |
| DarkShadow791 | i figured i'd try here before posting | 20:47 |
| McAfee17 | brb gonna reboot | 20:47 |
| Penopticon | MaximLevitsky: It should be a property on your printer software. | 20:47 |
| DarkShadow791 | i'm currently on a wired connection :x but i need to get this wireless setup working | 20:47 |
| ShackJack | DarkShadow791: You might try switching it over (both the router and Ubuntu) to WPA2 Personal - it's much more secure and I've had better luck with it... | 20:47 |
| the-ra | unfortunately my acx100 driver does not support wpa | 20:48 |
| ConstantineXVI | Is the Intel 4965 wifi card a good choice for ubuntu, and can you do any better? | 20:48 |
| DarkShadow791 | well i dont know the login/password to my router. some tech guy came up and fixed it since it interfaces with our tv as well | 20:48 |
| DarkShadow791 | and basically told us not to mess with it unless we know what we're doing | 20:48 |
| MaximLevitsky | Penopticon, well the standard gnome image viewer has a "page setup' dial that gives me the page size | 20:48 |
| DarkShadow791 | i realize wpa is better but i'm not really worried about security | 20:48 |
| DarkShadow791 | i just need it to connect >< | 20:48 |
| DarkShadow791 | note: it connects fine on my windows boot so its not a router problem (afaik) | 20:49 |
| ShackJack | DarkShadow791: Ah, well you'll want to find that out and switch it over - trust me it's for the best - and assuming your wireless card is working will likely solve the issue... | 20:49 |
| MaximLevitsky | Penopticon: But f-spot doesn't have this dialog | 20:49 |
| DarkShadow791 | how would i go about troubleshooting my wireless card | 20:49 |
| falstaff | I used this program to control my monitor I think it was a KDE program ... but I can't remember the name ... can someone tell me what it was?? | 20:49 |
| ShackJack | DarkShadow791: WEP is not very secure... | 20:49 |

| Penopticon | DarkShadow791: Try Konversation. It is very configurable. | 20:53 |
| ShackJack | DarkShadow791: seems like the card is working... Best bet is to access the router... switch to open network and see if that pics it up... And I know its the Windows way, but I restart it when I switch network encryption modes... | 20:53 |

| Penopticon | MaximLevitsky: That seems strange. I am using an HP and cups and I see my HP properties. | 20:54 |
| DarkShadow791 | when the tech guy came he changed it and i'm not sure what to | 20:54 |
| ShackJack | DarkShadow791: And double check your wifi is broadcasting on g-band as well | 20:54 |

| rezasalami | i cud not compile 1 program | 21:01 |
| DarkShadow791 | lspci | grep wire did nothing (or appeared that way) | 21:01 |
| rezasalami | it is a lammps | 21:01 |
| ShackJack | DarkShadow791: The lspci lists pci devices and the pipe char/grep is a filter to show only lines with the word wire in them... | 21:01 |
| rezasalami | http://lammps.sandia.gov/download.html | 21:01 |
| DarkShadow791 | maybe i typed it wrong? "lspci | grep wire" exactly? | 21:01 |
| ShackJack | DarkShadow791: how bout just lspci and you can look in there or grep wi (it might be in as wi-fi) | 21:01 |

| ShackJack | DarkShadow791: Dunno if other have experience with Broadcomm wireless (I've heard good n' bad)... but sound like from your iwconfig that it's working... I may be mistaken... | 21:02 |
| DarkShadow791 | I believe it's working | 21:03 |
| Penopticon | MaximLevitsky: Then you should be able to go to properties. Try PhotoPrint instead. | 21:03 |
| DarkShadow791 | i know it's working on windows boot. and it seems to be doing something when i try to connect | 21:03 |
| rezasalami | :-/ | 21:03 |
| DarkShadow791 | but it never actually connects | 21:03 |
| DarkShadow791 | hold on i'll figure out what it says its doing. brb | 21:03 |
| ShackJack | DarkShadow791: On the grep - my mistake it's case sensitive unless you do regexs | 21:03 |

| seracht | Greetings. What is the easiest way to uninstall ubuntu? | 22:33 |
| Znow | <3 | 22:33 |
| ph0rensi1 | Znow: Open Office.org? | 22:33 |
| seracht | I have windows + ubuntu installed at the moment, and don't want to disturb my windows installation | 22:33 |
| danbhfive | seracht: is it installed on a separate partition, or are you using wubi? | 22:33 |
| seracht | danbhfive I installed it using the default installations, so I think there are 2 different partitions | 22:33 |
| Smirnoff | how do i partition in ubuntu? | 22:33 |
| seracht | 1 for the swap, 1 for the actual OS | 22:33 |
| Red13_ | hey guyz I want to get synaptic and other system programs to use current theme how do I do that is there a website to explain? | 22:34 |
| danbhfive | seracht: well, I think you can just delete the partitions, and use the windows boot disk to fixmbr | 22:34 |
| seracht | I don't have a windows boot disk with me at the moment, it is in NA :( | 22:35 |
| Znow | <ph0rensi1> wont use openoffice when I got the full package? :) | 22:35 |
| seracht | anyone else know for sure how I can uninstall ubuntu | 22:35 |
| falstaff | hello, does anybody knows how i can wake up an intel graphic card? It went to sleep, but Ctrl+Alt+F1 or keyboard inputs doesnt wake it up again! | 22:35 |
| danbhfive | seracht: can you resize partitions? | 22:35 |
| bavardage | falstaff: ctrl+alt+backspace? | 22:35 |
| bavardage | will kill your Xserver | 22:35 |
| falstaff | i did /etc/init.d/gdm restart over ssh, should do the same, true? | 22:36 |
| seracht | danbhfive actually, never mind | 22:36 |
| seracht | I am going to stick to ubuntu. For now :P | 22:36 |
| seracht | thanks anyways mate. | 22:37 |
| seracht | cheers. | 22:37 |
| danbhfive | hehe, ok, cya | 22:37 |
| seracht | anyone here have any opinions on kde 4.1 | 22:37 |
| eight | seracht: what changed your mind? | 22:37 |
| seracht | would you recommend it over GNOME | 22:37 |
| Red13_ | I found a website that gives step by step but I have lost it any help would be great | 22:37 |
| seracht | eight I actually was going to stick to ubuntu all the time, just wanted to reinstall and start with a clean slate. But I figured, whatever. I don't have much on it at the moment, and I can delete anything I want to | 22:38 |
| Znow | can anyone guide me on installing the opensource version of creative webcam vista driver please? | 22:38 |
| ph0rensi1 | Znow: Open office is a full package.. You'd rather use office... fair enough | 22:38 |
| fogobogo | Znow: cheese? | 22:38 |
| Znow | :D | 22:38 |
| Znow | Cant figure it out | 22:38 |

| seracht | danbhfive but does it kill my windows installation? | 22:39 |

| meoblast001 | whats a good safe speed to use when burning ubuntu? | 22:48 |
| danbhfive | !shortcuts | emilien you could try this, but I have no idea | 22:49 |
| ubottu | emilien you could try this, but I have no idea: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 22:49 |
| ghaleb | meoblast001, I use the default | 22:49 |
| r2q2 | meoblast001: Safe usually means slower? | 22:49 |
| meoblast001 | yes | 22:49 |
| meoblast001 | only a little slower though | 22:49 |
| r2q2 | meoblast001: I guess you could burn it one less than your fastest. | 22:49 |
| Impakt | Danbhfive: yeah i did a regular install i have been on the desktop many times but then sudenly this happens... og when i get to this command window it says "Busybox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built-in shell (ash) Enter help for a list of built-in commands | 22:49 |

| r2q2 | meoblast001: Uh well then burn it at 6x then. | 22:50 |
| danbhfive | Impakt: maybe you should just backup, and do a clean install | 22:50 |

| eirik_ | got a X11 issue. editing my /etc/X11/xorg.conf has no impact on my X11 settings - even if i delete it. so it seems X11 is getting its settings from elsewhere. ive searched / for other xorg.conf files, but cant find any so im at a loss. any ideas? | 22:51 |
| earthmeLon | Does freenode not support SSL? | 22:51 |
| Killeroid | mercutio22: i heard residerfs is faster and less prone to corruption | 22:52 |
| jrib | eirik_: are you in that failsafe X mode? | 22:52 |
| eirik_ | jrib: not that i know of. everything is working perfectly. i didnt make any changes to default ubuntu settings. altho im using a custom kernel | 22:53 |

| keyro90 | hi everyone! | 22:53 |
| Palace_Chan | so that direcotry is owned by palace and belongs to group root no ? | 22:53 |
| jrib | eirik_: X will do a lot of stuff automatically now unless it is overridden in xorg.conf | 22:53 |
| Palace_Chan | how can i change it to read palace palace rather than palace root | 22:53 |
| keyro90 | W Kubuntu!! | 22:54 |
| jrib | Palace_Chan: chgrp | 22:54 |
| Palace_Chan | chgrp ? | 22:54 |
| jrib | Palace_Chan: yep, it's a command | 22:54 |
| DracoSilverscar | hey all i'm looking for a program to mount a cd image what should i get? | 22:54 |
| jrib | !iso | DracoSilverscar | 22:54 |
| ubottu | DracoSilverscar: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 22:54 |
| earthmeLon | mount | 22:54 |
| keyro90 | acetoneISO draco | 22:54 |
| Palace_Chan | jrib, it replied saying "palace is an invalid group" which is strange because all my other files are palace palace and not palace root | 22:54 |
| Palace_Chan | i ran: "chgrp -R palace bin/ | 22:55 |
| keyro90 | or mount yea, but it's more difficult | 22:55 |
| jrib | Palace_Chan: what bin is that? | 22:55 |
| emilien | sorry , need help with keyboared probs | 22:55 |
| Palace_Chan | jrib, it is a binary for an ocaml installation | 22:55 |
| Palace_Chan | jrib, a directory of binaries | 22:55 |
| eirik_ | jrib: i see. well, my changes seem to have no effect. i tried added SHMConfig option to my synaptics touchpad. as a test i also tried disabling the touchpad with "TouchpadOff". my serverlayout inputdevice is also set to Synaptics Touchpad | 22:56 |
| recon69 | somthing very weird going on on my network, I'm the only person on it and yet there has been 35mb of traffic in the last 30 min. | 22:56 |
| Palace_Chan | jrib, see i ran make install as root and the directory with libs and bins and man became root owned..i used chown -R to change ownernship back to me | 22:56 |
| eirik_ | jrib: if i am running failsafe, is there a way to know? like bootlog - i would read it, but dont know where its hiding :) | 22:56 |
| jrib | eirik_: how did you restart the server? | 22:56 |
| Palace_Chan | jrib, i changed them from displaying root root to palace root, but i cant get it to say palace palace upong ls -l | 22:56 |
| jrib | eirik_: you would know, it would give you a popup | 22:56 |
| eirik_ | jrib: ctrl-alt-backspace, and also several full reboots | 22:56 |
| eirik_ | jrib: ok | 22:57 |
| DracoSilverscar | erm.. didn't work | 22:57 |
| jrib | Palace_Chan: if 'palace' is a group, it should work | 22:57 |
| Palace_Chan | jrib, palace is my user, doesnt sound like a group although when i run ls -l on most of my other home directory files they display as palace palace | 22:58 |
| jrib | Palace_Chan: you get the same thing if you do 'chown :palace bin'? | 22:58 |
| Palace_Chan | jrib, i was able to chown from root root to palace root | 22:59 |
| jrib | eirik_: checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what the server is thinking? | 22:59 |
| eirik_ | jrib: ah thanks yea i wouldve already if i knew where to look :) will see | 22:59 |
| emilien | is there to only use xorg conf for keyboard | 23:00 |

| bart1105 | good day to all... | 23:01 |
| recon69 | how do i find the HW address of my gateway? | 23:01 |
| recon69 | never mind | 23:02 |
| Red13_ | so I take it none knows how to get system programs "Synaptic" to use current themes instead of default theme? | 23:02 |
| sherif | hi | 23:02 |
| bart1105 | is there an advantage if i use the 64-bit version of ubuntu compared to the 32 bit on a 64-bit proc? thanx | 23:02 |
| jrib | bart1105: you can use more ram | 23:03 |
| DracoSilverscar | according to three different downloads acetoneISO doesn't exist... they're all just a text file in a rar archive | 23:03 |
| DracoSilverscar | or a tar.gz archive | 23:03 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: why aren't you just using mount? | 23:03 |
| DracoSilverscar | because it won't work ;p | 23:04 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: why? | 23:04 |
| DracoSilverscar | came up telling me that it wasn't a valid command | 23:04 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: paste what you ran | 23:04 |

| joshuajtl | hi folks, is there anyway to install ubuntu on kubuntu without having one DE see (or at least share apps) with the other? | 23:05 |
| DracoSilverscar | i did exactly what it told me earlier | 23:05 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: I can't see what you type | 23:05 |
| jrib | !who | DracoSilverscar | 23:05 |
| ubottu | DracoSilverscar: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:05 |
| DracoSilverscar | it was a while ago | 23:05 |
| bart1105 | jrib: is that the only advantage? it won't be a bit faster? | 23:05 |
| jrib | bart1105: I don't see why | 23:05 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib ahh right... | 23:06 |
| bart1105 | jrib: oh ok... thanx what version are you using?? | 23:06 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: by the way, if you google "acetoneiso" you'll get their homepage with a working download. But mount will work fine | 23:06 |
| recon69 | going to fire up warzone 2100 and see how long before ubuntu crashes | 23:06 |
| ErikWestrup | I only get noise in my speakers and I've tried all regulators in ALSAMIXER. How do I get sound? | 23:06 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: i tried that download and it was just a text file in a tar.gz file | 23:07 |
| Palace_Chan | how do i add a directory to my PATH ? | 23:07 |
| jrib | bart1105: 64bit. Really, a desktop user will only have a problem with the sun java plugin for the browser as sun doesn't have one yet for 64bit (the bug on their tracker is several years old) | 23:07 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: click on it, don't right click download. It takes you to sourceforge | 23:07 |
| Jordan_U | Palace_Chan: PATH=$PATH:/your/directory/here | 23:07 |
| === D is now known as Guest41999 | ||
| Palace_Chan | Jordan_U, is that diff from using export ? | 23:08 |
| ErikWestrup | Jordan_U: But you must put that to yout .bashrc right? Because otherwise it won't be save after reboot | 23:08 |
| selew | hi to all | 23:08 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: thats what i did... either way whats the mount command i'll give that another shot... | 23:08 |
| Palace_Chan | ErikWestrup, yes i think i have to put path info on the .bashrc file | 23:08 |
| dextervip | how can i add vsftpd on boot? | 23:08 |
| selew | i have problem with firefox and embeded videos in sites | 23:08 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: the download works fine for me. It's definitely an issue on your end | 23:08 |
| selew | nothing is playing.... | 23:09 |
| Jordan_U | Palace_Chan: Export makes the change of $PATH propagate to the programs run in that shell | 23:09 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: oh well i'll sort that later | 23:09 |
| jrib | !iso | DracoSilverscar | 23:09 |

| CrocoJet | how can I change "usplash" of ubuntu 8.04 ? I like more blue ... | 23:09 |

| Palace_Chan | Jordan_U, and path= will add that to the path or replace any previous paths ? | 23:09 |
| jrib | !usplash > CrocoJet | 23:09 |
| ubottu | CrocoJet, please see my private message | 23:09 |
| jrib | CrocoJet: not sure if that's up to date though | 23:10 |
| joshuajtl | is latest ubuntu still 8.04.1 ? | 23:10 |
| jrib | joshuajtl: yes | 23:10 |
| DracoSilverscar | ok... it might have been this... what does it mean by mount point? | 23:10 |
| CrocoJet | let me see | 23:10 |
| joshuajtl | thx jrib | 23:10 |
| compengi | selew, on what sites? | 23:10 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: you need to create a directory somewhere to be your mountpoint | 23:10 |
| selew | www.liako.gr | 23:10 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: not sure how that works o..o | 23:10 |
| selew | is a site that i can not see the video | 23:10 |
| Palace_Chan | ugh i dont even see a place where it says "path" in my .bashrc file | 23:11 |
| selew | http://www.liakotv.gr/index8t.php?s=3 | 23:11 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: do you know how to create a directory? | 23:11 |
| Jordan_U | Palace_Chan: PATH=/whatever alone will replace your current $PATH with "/whatever" That is why to add a directory to your PATH you do PATH=$PATH:/whatever | 23:11 |
| jrib | Palace_Chan: because you haven't written it yet :) | 23:11 |
| emilien | when i login keyboard fine , but when gome starts it adds num pad to keyboared any ideas | 23:11 |
| netsurf3 | can someone help me fix this stuttering audio in virtualbox 2.0 please? | 23:11 |
| Palace_Chan | Jordan_U, where does it go in the .bashrc file then ? anywhere ? | 23:11 |
| compengi | selew, you need to see what they use to stream. so that you can install a firefox plugin | 23:12 |
| AthlonFanboy | is better to use ext3 or ext2 on a ssd? | 23:12 |
| netsurf3 | i have tried alsa and pulseaudio both methods stutter | 23:12 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: i'm pretty sure i can but i'm not quite wrapping my head around what to do properly i think... could you give me an example? >..< | 23:12 |
| compengi | selew, because it's not flash nor java | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | Palace_Chan: Yes, anywhere will work | 23:12 |
| selew | compengi: the exactly address is :http://www.liakotv.gr/index8t.php?s=3 | 23:12 |

| esperegu_ | how to monitor the cpufrequency ( /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq ) on the command line? | 23:13 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: the mountpoint is just where your iso ends up. So for example: sudo mkdir /media/my_cool_iso to create the mountpoint, and then: sudo mount -o loop file.iso /media/my_cool_iso | 23:13 |
| compengi | selew, i've checked them. you need some plugin which firefox can't recognize it automatically. which means you need to see what they use, and install it manually | 23:13 |
| CrocoJet | going to test | 23:13 |
| selew | thanks compengi | 23:13 |
| selew | thanks a lot | 23:13 |
| compengi | selew, no problem | 23:13 |
| r2q2 | kaRnA: What chipset is your wireless card. | 23:14 |
| DracoSilverscar | and it tells me the iso file isn't there | 23:14 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: where is your iso file? | 23:14 |
| powertool08 | why do some dest/src ip's flash in wireshark? | 23:14 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: in a folder on the desktop | 23:14 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: you need to give the proper path to your iso. Probably something like ~/Desktop/name_of_iso.iso | 23:15 |

| H__ | Babbleback not that I know | 23:32 |

| DracoSilverscar | jrib: it's mounted but it tells me i don't have permission to run the file | 23:33 |
| Theaxiom | compengi: Thanks | 23:33 |
| compengi | Theaxiom, could be some additional libraries | 23:33 |
| MolePrince | Hello. May someone please recommend a simple network monitoring tool? I have half a dozen servers to keep an eye on and would like to maintain visibility to load, uptime, disk use, traffic, &c | 23:33 |

| jrib | DracoSilverscar: what are you trying to run? | 23:36 |
| powertool08 | When I try to mount a blank cd dolphin says could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: unknown protocol ''.. Whats causing this? | 23:36 |
| Agent_bob | can someone please tell me what files are requited on a remote hostfor sshkey login to work ? i know that ~/.ssh/authorized_keys is needed but what else ? it keeps asking me for a password... ??? | 23:36 |
| MolePrince | compengi: So I want to monitor them all from one place. | 23:36 |
| christophe59500 | i want install centos on domU but there a bug, can you explain this -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rpmstrap/+bug/148005 | 23:36 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 148005 in rpmstrap "rpmstrap, centos4 package names mismatch" [Undecided,New] | 23:36 |
| compengi | MolePrince, i see | 23:36 |

| DracoSilverscar | jrib: the autorun is what i want to do ;p there are no files i can run manually XD | 23:37 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: the autorun runs something... | 23:38 |
| christophe59500 | ubottu, but you help me, because, i don't understand | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:38 |
| powertool08 | Agent bob, you need key pair, cat the pubkey to authorized_keys on the remote host, private key on your local host in ~/.ssh/id_rsa | 23:38 |
| harmattan | Hi. Does anybody knows what happened to Gobuntu? Are there still plans for a whole free system? | 23:38 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 yes authorized_keys is correct | 23:38 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: not that i can find o..o | 23:38 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 remote doesn't need id_rsa does it ? | 23:39 |
| compengi | harmattan, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/gobuntu | 23:39 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: read the autorun.inf or whatever it is called | 23:39 |
| christophe59500 | any one help me for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rpmstrap/+bug/148005 | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 148005 in rpmstrap "rpmstrap, centos4 package names mismatch" [Undecided,New] | 23:40 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: no I don't think so | 23:40 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: there is none... it just has 2 folders... contents and then it takes me to the files for mac and the files for PC | 23:40 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: check wine's appdb | 23:40 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 hmmm i must have a misconfigured sshd_conf then | 23:40 |
| ech0dish | how do i log boot up | 23:40 |
| jrib | !appdb | DracoSilverscar | 23:41 |
| ubottu | DracoSilverscar: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 23:41 |
| ech0dish | i am having a strange issue | 23:41 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: well, it needs id_rsa.pub to check the private key against | 23:41 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: i get the feeling i got a bad copy... how do i unmount something? | 23:41 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: sudo umount /media/iso | 23:41 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 </blinks> ? | 23:41 |
| tenbytes | hey--is it better to dual boot windows or install it with virtual machine or whatever--this pc has 1gb ram | 23:41 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: alright just a sec | 23:41 |
| compengi | ech0dish, you should find it in system>administration>system protocol | 23:42 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 i thought id_rsa.pub local was checked against authorized_keys remote with incription from id_rsa local ? | 23:43 |
| Agent_bob | am i all wet ? | 23:43 |
| harmattan | compengi: Thanks. I know the page, but I don't see any movement since 7.10. Is it still alive or near dead? I mean, are they leaving the project because gnewsense? | 23:43 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: when I set mine up, I generated a key pair on the remote host I wanted to log into, cat the id_rsa.pub to authorized_keys of the user I would log in as, put id_rsa (private key) on my usb drive, then connect from my laptop with ssh -i /path/to/usb/id_rsa user@host | 23:44 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: and make sure your /etc/ssh/sshd_config has "pubkey_authentication yes" | 23:44 |
| tony_ | 23:45 | |
| tony_ | c | 23:45 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: lovely... won't let me unmount it and the files aren't working now... >..> | 23:45 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: tells me it doesn't exist | 23:45 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: pastebin, you should know this by now :) | 23:45 |
| DracoSilverscar | jrib: so much simpler just to say what it's telling me... for everything... than paste the same thing a dozen times over. ;p | 23:45 |
| compengi | harmattan, it seems to be still alive https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GobuntuHardy | 23:46 |
| jrib | DracoSilverscar: then paste what it actually says in full | 23:46 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 right. i have a master key for several boxen, and it works on all of them but on some more restricted accounts i have only ~/.ssh/authorized_keys but for one box that seems to not be enough. so it's probably a sshd_config issue. thanks for the input | 23:46 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: if you want to pastebin your sshd_config I can compare to mine, it might turn up something? | 23:47 |
