[00:17] mrkiko: the driver is called libata [00:18] Does anyone know a channel for networking problems? [00:18] 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] 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] has anyone had problems downloading pkg files when upgrading to hardy from gutsy? i need 2 pkgs and they wont download, not even manually [00:19] kitche: ah ok... but will libata handle even old ide disks? [00:19] mrkiko: yes, just will name them /dev/sdX [00:19] kitche: thank you. Aniway what's the correct option' I can see libata loaded in my dmesg [00:20] and the ata_piix module I'm using is handling my sata disks using libata it seems [00:20] mrkiko: either way but soon the old way is actually being removed from the kernel [00:20] Does an IRC chat for wireless help exist?

[00:25] oops i meant vinu76jsr not vindictive [00:25] damn auto complete :P [00:25] powertool08: that means that it starts if your system starts in runlevel 4 or runlevel 5 [00:25] 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? [00:26] T2, yes that's usually the best way [00:26] kitche: I'll try it now [00:26] h4x0r: yes, still no sound is there packages that i may need to install like libasound or other prepacked programs in ubuntu? [00:26] vinu76jsr: you still there? [00:26] @k3rnelpanic ya 683 kb [00:26] 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? [00:27] i m using kernel.org mirror [00:27] powertool08: I think it might be stopped thenh started again [00:27] *then [00:27] T2:Everything Should be working. [00:27] 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] vinu76jsr: i trued that, and about 10 other ones. could you email me the 2 pkgs maybe? === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [00:28] tell me your id [00:28] hey.. is there a way to revert to the state of ubuntu when it was cleanly installed? i'd rather not go through a full format and re-installation... [00:28] h4x0r: how about sound drivers how do i check my driver in ubuntu [00:28] K3rnel.panic@yahoo.com [00:29] 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] T2:system adminastration Hardware drivers [00:29] powertool08: it's to make sure that they're always runnig except in single-user mode or runlevel 1 [00:30] h4x0r: says no proprietary drivers used on this application [00:30] powertool08: usually, you wouldn't need to use anything besides runlevels 0, 2, or 6 [00:30] Hey! [00:30] Starnestommy: ok, thanks [00:30] So I'm installing Ubuntu Hardy on my brother's laptop. Will Wireless work because he always uses wireless? [00:30] h4x0r: says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [00:31] user_, why dont u consult the list of supported hardware [00:31] okay this has stumped me for a while: I have proftpd will start fine when I do sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start but at boot, it won't work, it says failed processing config file at /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf [00:31] user_: depends on the wireless card really. You should wait and see [00:31] !wifi | user_ [00:31] user_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:32] T2: Then It should be working [00:32] user_: wireless worked by default on my IBM Thinkpad laptop... [00:33] * mrkiko wonders if he will be able to see his ide disk after the kexec :D === dashavoo_ is now known as dashavoo [00:34] k3rnelpanic packages sent [00:34] But if his Wireless card is not supported, is there a way to make it work? :S [00:34] user_: the docs tell you how [00:35] Oh, ok! xD :D =] [00:35] Btw, why is Wireless a problem with Ubuntu? If Windows can do it, then why not Ubuntu? :/ [00:35] user_: hardware manufacturers are unfriendly [00:35] how would I use sudo to allow a user to execute a perl script without having to input password or anything [00:36] Ok guys - with those new ignore settings I may be able to reply even to messages someone of you may write to me [00:36] T2: I Need To Go. Sorry. I Have To Go. Kids Birthday [00:36] vindictive: man sudoers for all you ever need to know about how to do that [00:36] vindictive: f.e there are no harware specifiactions and hw vendors dont ship linux drivers? :))) [00:36] how do i download a deb and all it's dependencies for storage ? [00:36] hi, this might not be a directly ubuntu question but here goes, im getting some wierd bugs on 4chan.org and only when using styles, screenshot http://lasseb.tihlde.org/firefox.png . anything i can do to fix this? Firefox 3.0.1 & Ubuntu 4.2.3-2 [00:36] vindictive: did you try using NOPASSWD in sudoers for it? (see 'man sudoers' if you have not) [00:36] h4x0r: ok no worries [00:36] vinu76jsr: that is unbelievable. i download any other pkg and its fine. but those 2 for some reason will not download :-/ from any source even yahoo mail [00:36] ok wait a minute [00:37] I want to install ubuntu for a friend who has poor internet access. Is there a way to get all the updates to 8.04, and put them on a CD or DVD? [00:37] jrib: yeah, I tried NOPASSWD and I even specified the path to the script... still no luck... what happens if the script I let the user execute is privilaged? [00:37] chino: apt-get -f --download-only install name [00:37] or, if you have the package [00:37] can anyone help me with getting sound up on firefox through ubuntu? [00:37] noname12: just download the 8.04 iso [00:37] vindictive: what do you mean by "privileged"? [00:37] jrib: so I create a shell script that allows the user to turn off and on services... how does that work? [00:37] apt-get -f --reinstall --download-only install package [00:38] apt-get -f --reinstall --download-only install package... [00:38] ok samba was bugging me so I sent up an anonymous ftp using VSFTP, i don't want to muck with users, I just set it up to allow anonymous access [00:38] what can i do about a hidden file in one of my ntfs filesystems called .fuse_hiddenXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, where Xs are all digits? When i delete it it just gets replaced by the same with a higher number. I can't delete the folder it is in because it is not empty. [00:38] k3rnelpanic: Yes, but after installing it, I would need to update the packages, and as I said, his link sucks. [00:38] but I don't want to upload to /home/ftp i want to upload to another partition entirely [00:38] jrib: my entry looks like this: user ALL=NOPASSWD: /opt/scripts/serviceHelper.pl [00:38] mrkiko: -f and --force-yes dont work [00:38] sudo apt-get remove republicans [00:38] so I made a sym link under /home/ftp to the part where I want to upload files but it's not allowing that [00:38] rconan_: its created by fuse which you are using the read the filesystem. [00:39] kernalpanic try this http://profile.iiita.ac.in/IIT2006117/braseroandusplash.zip [00:39] noname12: there's a package called aptoncd that might be of use in that situation [00:39] mcquaid: does the user have permissions to the target? [00:39] vindictive: you need some spaces [00:39] is there somewhere to explicitly specify which dirs one wants to use with VSFTP? [00:39] mcquaid: permissions to the symlink won't matter [00:39] mcquaid: you may want to check /etc for a config file [00:39] chino: 'don't work' doesn't help me understand why [00:39] yes rw all on the target [00:39] noname12 or we can set apt-proxy [00:39] histo, how can i delete the folder with it in? It wont go away. [00:39] yes i've checked the config file [00:39] rconan_: rm -r [00:39] mrkiko: cause -f is not force [00:39] chino: PM me if you can [00:40] rconan_: rm -rf foldername [00:40] Question: what's a good app to view csv files with? (something simplistic that'll replace Excel) [00:40] histo, that gives: rm: cannot remove directory `foldername': File exists [00:40] firelog: open office calc [00:40] firelog: gnumeric / oleo? [00:40] histo, is there something more lightweight? [00:40] rconan_: yeah you would replace foldername withthe name of the folder [00:40] vindictive: here is mine: jrib ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/revoco [00:40] firelog: try searching synaptic perhaps? [00:41] mrkiko, histo: thanks much! [00:41] can anyone help [00:41] i can't even look in the sym linked dir via ftp, it just says failed to open [00:41] histo, i did, sorry that was a little ambiguous [00:41] 2222!ask [00:41] thanks jrib [00:41] jrib: I give it a shot [00:41] vinu76jsr: haha thanks man, so why wouldnt those files download? how are they being blocked? [00:41] Anyone can help me with this script please : http://pastebin.com/d443dca1 ? I'm trying to screen a process from init.d .. the file is +x and is owned by root [00:41] !ask > T2 [00:41] rconan_: is it possible you don't have write access to the ntfs drive? [00:41] T2, please see my private message [00:42] anyone know how far away alpha 5 still is? [00:42] histo, no [00:42] dont know maybe something with your firewall or gmail permissions,u know they block .exe files [00:42] rconan_: okay well what is the exact error you get? file exist? [00:43] histo, if i try to delete the directory, yes, if i delete the file it just comes back with a different number [00:43] Yancho: su creates a new shell, the other commands in your script won't execute until after that shell exits, same with screen === rconan_ is now known as rconan [00:43] how to start a job in ssh that keeps running after you log out? [00:44] RadishRabbit1: command & disown [00:44] RadishRabbit1: with some versions of bash I was doing it with the standard & operator. Unless, try dtach [00:44] glitsj16: thanks, aptoncd looks very promising! [00:44] vinu76jsr: hmm but i tried other deb files and they downloaded fine [00:44] asdasd [00:44] weird, really weird [00:44] rconan: I have no idea wth that means file exist. You should be able to delete a directory with rm -rf [00:45] Jordan_U so how should i go about it .. do u have any points pelase? [00:45] vinu76jsr: thanks a lot for the help i'm gonna try and upgrade to hardy now [00:45] noname12: you're welcome, something i've used on machines with poor or no connection, works great [00:45] Yancho: You probably want to use "su -c" and "screen " [00:45] 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 [00:46] so there is no need to detach screen ? [00:46] rconan: that would make sense then. [00:46] Hi. Is there a way to add custom commands to the thunar/xfce context menu? [00:46] what is this [00:46] kdenlive: / / / / / SAVING RECOVERY FILE [00:46] KCrash: Application 'kdenlive' crashing... [00:46] histo, it seems the deluge web interface has a bug where it didn't close the file [00:47] ya upgrade, after all its free [00:47] spadewarrior: thunar has 'custom actions', reachable via the edit menu [00:47] glitsj16, thanks! I'll take a look there [00:47] vinu76jsr: yea i couldnt cause of those 2 files, now it should work....hopefully [00:47] anybody how to configure samba to authenticate via ldap [00:48] Jordan_U something like this : http://pastebin.com/d27965a58 ? [00:48] sorry got DC [00:48] glitsj16: so I guess the idea is, I have to have a machine that already has the desired packages installed and cached on it? Then aptoncd will copy them from the cache to a disk... Are packages normally left in the cache after installing/upgrading? [00:49] if flash 4 linux any good [00:49] ? [00:49] noname12: yes, that's exactly how it works .. unless you changed the defaults apt caches packages [00:49] @kernalpanic it'll work for sure [00:49] 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] kexecking [00:49] ?????vmware for hardy????? [00:49] noname12: they're at /var/cache/apt/archives [00:50] 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] Jordan_U but that will start as user root not as user yancho no? [00:50] 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] Yancho: You need to put quotes around the command so it doesn't interpret it as multiple arguments [00:51] Falstaff: displayconfig-gtk [00:51] ow great :) [00:51] Yancho: You can still pass another argument for the user to run it as [00:51] who was vinoo [00:51] Thank you very much!! [00:51] 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] Falstaff: backup xorg.conf before using [00:52] 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 &" ? === gore_ is now known as goure [00:52] 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?) === Starnestommy is now known as sheep [00:52] Jordan_U without the -u :) [00:52] CaptainMorgan: install lmsensors, use conky [00:52] lmsensors? [00:53] CaptainMorgan: package to read from hw-chips [00:53] 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] noname12: synaptic has a menu item to clean those out yes, i don't know for sure if apt does that automatically [00:53] Jordan_U nope .. trying to remove it [00:54] ScheissDrogen, synaptic is only showing me wmsensors.... should I install that? [00:54] i love how you can upgrade your whole system while still using it :-D [00:55] Anyone here is familiar with unicode and iso's? === Dedicated is now known as dedi_away [00:55] 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] !anyone | Karkuk [00:55] 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? [00:56] k3rnelpanic: what are you currently using ? hardy ? [00:56] 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] ScheissDrogen, synaptic is only showing me wmsensors.... should I install that? [00:56] vmware server or even vmware player for hardy**** where's the deb [00:56] 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 [00:57] 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] Yancho: Just use screen -d to start it detached [00:57] CaptainMorgan: lm-sensors [00:57] 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] Yancho: so screen -d [00:57] CaptainMorgan: see also : conky and gkrellm [00:58] Yancho: Wait, nvm [00:58] Jordan_U : su yancho -c "screen -S tracdimon -d tracd -p 8000 --basic-auth=thesis,/usr/local/trac/thesis/.htpasswd,/usr/local/trac/thesis /usr/local/trac/thesis" ? [00:58] 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] Anyone know what to do from this point? [00:58] CaptainMorgan: search adept looking up lm [00:58] Fused: make the fluxbox.xsession file most likely [00:58] How would I go about doing that, kitche? [00:58] Fused: there are directions in the fluxbox docs on their site [00:58] ScheissDrogen: im currently on 7.10 gutsy upgrading as we speak to hardy [00:58] Jordan_U -d is trying to reconnect with another [00:59] do do do - it [00:59] 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!

[01:00] 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] meoblast001: did you run "verify the integrity of the cd" from the cd's boot menu? [01:00] meoblast : may be it's a different architecture [01:00] vinu76jsr: he said he has intel [01:01] this is i386 [01:01] Jordan_U it didnt detach .. i ended up seeing the output [01:01] 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] meoblast001: that's not architecture, he means 32 or 64 bit... [01:01] i gave him a 32 bit [01:01] kernelpanic : then i did something good today [01:01] Yancho: what is the exact command you are running now? [01:01]  meoblast001:did you/he used the self check option from cd bootup ?? [01:01] meoblast001: what kind of computer does your friend have?

[01:03] 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 [01:04] td123: my CD burner broke [01:04] ethana2: check dmesg [01:04] td123: how do i convert ppl to ubuntu now? [01:04] Jordan_U foudn the problem .. the ; after tracdimon :) [01:04] meoblast001: then use windows till you can get one [01:04] jrib: how do i do that? [01:04] 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] 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] td123: i give up... ppl probably dont even want ubuntu anyways [01:04] jrib: /etc/gdm/Sessions doesn't exist as a directory, and that's where it's telling me to put the fluxbox file.

[01:06] Fused: sure [01:06] ScheissDrogen: 20gb or so [01:06] 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] anybody know vmware server for hardy [01:07] Fused: use the "There is another way" method [01:07] k3rnelpanic: do a fresh install then [01:07] meoblast001: you should know these things before even laying a hand on another person's computer [01:07] ScheissDrogen : 1 [01:07] I cannot find my language script on any of Linux distribution and I would like to develop one.

[01:10] It has "/usr/bin/startfluxbox" in those contents, but there is no "startfluxbox" [01:10] wth is a LUG? [01:10] meoblast001: your local LUG is a good place to start [01:10] meoblast001: Linux user group [01:10] meoblast001: linux user group [01:10] Jordan_U server restarted but it did not auto start :( however if i run the script it works [01:10] jrib: i know it has something to do with my filesystem-- and I have a GParted 0.3.7-7 LiveCD right here....

[01:11] meoblast001: you don't know it yet, but your quote is tomarrow's digg head line [01:11] td123, actually its not, as the old saying goes any hardware can be emulated by software and vice versa [01:11] im not telling you anymore [01:11] 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] td123: what quote? [01:11] meoblast001: you should have a local lug there. [01:11] meoblast001: why cant i just download a CD burner [01:11] Fused: edit it. It's leftover from the repository's version of fluxbox because you didn't purge it [01:12] almostdvs: i have a friend with the same problem [01:12] * IndyGunFreak thought everybody had at least a CD burner nowdays [01:12] usser: I don't think you understand the context [01:12] meoablast: seee !usb for an adventure...

[01:13] kitche: thank for your help. How did you learn the libata fact? [01:13] td123: I think you are the one who does not understand the context actually... [01:13] vinu76jsr: it does an i'm feeling lucky search for you? [01:13] 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] 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 [01:14] Okay. Edited. [01:14] almostdvs : ya [01:14] td123: my mom said she'd try to sneak a CD burner from work to borrow [01:14] So now it should work properly, correct?

[01:15] 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] ok that was worded weird [01:15] but the CD burner should be attatched to my moms coworkers computer [01:15] in ubuntu it is automounted after a clean shutdown [01:15] 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] and its not even plugged in [01:15] kuko [01:15] meoblast001: well, if it doesn't work out,t he offer stands [01:15] in both ubuntu and xp [01:16] 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] BAD^man^, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/ /mountpoint [01:16] td123: meoblast001: why can't you just download the Cd ?

Also see !patience [01:29] td123: but there apps are easy to use and have a lot of features [01:29] * meoblast001 cries [01:29] not litterally [01:30] meoblast001: you know that you can use kde apps within gnome desktop? [01:30] Spacy: Well don't just leave us hanging :) [01:30] td123: uhhh.. thats what im doing [01:30] http://gpaste.com/p/b986f [01:30] That's what I'm saying, jrib. [01:30] meoblast001: you said you were using kdelive [01:30] td123: i said KdenLive is buggy... i didnt say i was running KDE [01:30] I'm trying to start an app (skype) and bash tells me, "No such file or directory" - the file is there i can ls -al it, i can cat skype>skype2 it, file skype shows its an elf exe, but if i exec /usr/bin/skype its telling me the file isn't there [01:30] ?? [01:30] * BAD^man^ HMM [01:31] i still dont understand why cant i mount [01:31] oh crap [01:31] meoblast001: ***ugh stop adding in details irrelevant to the conversation GRRR [01:31] i think i destroyed it [01:31] i even straced skype first line is "execve("/usr/bin/skype", ["skype"], [/* 17 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)" [01:31] the partion [01:31] Fused: the top one [01:31] I guess it's a wrong interpretation of something, but i don't get it . anybody an idea? [01:31] * td123 is now done trolling (For real this time.). [01:31] OMG [01:31] That's what I have right now.. but it didn't work. [01:32] Let me see if I can c&p the error log. [01:32] Fused: get rid of those comments at the top though, they don't really make sense [01:32] Fused: what does which startfluxbox return? [01:32] Spacy: Can you run script and pastebin what exactly you are doing to try to run skype and the errors it gives etc ? [01:33] td123: what do KDE and Fedora have in common? [01:33] I ran mknfts about 15 min ago and now it started to say 1%, is this normal? [01:33] ntfs :( [01:34] tico: Probably not. Reboot. [01:34] Try again. [01:34] jrib: http://gpaste.com/p/5bf8f is what the error file looks like that Fluxbox referred me to. [01:35] i m using pidgin [01:35] MasterFruityLoop: just to make sure, its not been at 1% for 15 minutes, it took 15 min for 1% to show. [01:35] anybody tell me how to me change a channel [01:35] MasterFruityLoop: reboot still? [01:35] Fused: where? [01:36] .xsession-errors [01:36] Fused: yes, where is the issue? [01:36] anyone know anything up setting up a keyboards hot keys [01:36] I don' tknow. [01:36] on here [01:36] *don't [01:36] That's what the thing told me to look in. [01:36] Fused: try what I suggested before with .xinitrc [01:36] O_o; [01:36] What did you suggest? [01:37] DOT3CH, I've seen it on the Ubuntu wiki. [01:37] anyone know anything about glade/ GTK+? [01:37] Fused: do this first: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Start_fluxbox_from_the_command_line [01:37] ok [01:37] Lucifer: best to just ask the channel your question [01:37] ok [01:37] Spacy: Why is the first thing that skype does to exec itself? [01:38] I used ubuntu on a virtual machine....I sorta had some problems resizing glade [01:38] normally, I wouldn't care, but since glade isn't resized [01:38] properly, [01:38] Jordan_U: It isn't? btw. the script is at http://spacy.homeip.net/skype.script [01:38] I don't have access to some of the functions [01:38] any ideas? [01:38] Lucifer: does it happen outside of a virtual machine? [01:38] well [01:38] the reason I'm using a VM [01:38] Lucifer: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [01:38] gotta go restart [01:38] well [01:38] I don't use linux [01:39] regularly [01:39] (vista user) [01:39] I was in .dll hell [01:39] Lucifer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:39] tico: Yes... that doesn't sound right... could be a driver interference. Happens with my computer all the time. [01:39] (stop pressing enter) [01:39] k [01:39] Lucifer: take a screenshot, it's hard to understand what is wrong [01:39] k [01:40] MasterFruityLoop: if it keeps happening, what can i do? [01:40] fused@fused-desktop:/usr/local/bin$ echo "exec startfluxbox" > ~/.xinitrc [01:40] whnat [01:40] After I did that [01:40] what [01:40] fused@fused-desktop:/usr/local/bin$ came back. [01:40] So that should be done, right? [01:41] Try it from command line... [01:41] restart [01:41] I mean, go down to just the command line. [01:41] No UI. [01:41] Try it then. [01:41] But, after a reboot, of course. [01:41] Jordan_U: How come you think skype executes itself? The strace line? the first one should always be the execve call from bash ;) (Working example: execve("/bin/ls", ["ls"], [/* 22 vars */]) = 0) [01:42] fused@fused-desktop:~$ startfluxbox [01:42] /home/fused/.fluxbox/startup: 12: /usr/bin/fbsetroot: not found [01:42] exec: 47: /usr/bin/fluxbox: not found [01:42] MasterFruityLoop: I am in a command line, its running in a script, ive created a rescue cd [01:42] Fused: that's ok... Now drop to a tty (ctrl-alt-f1) and do 'startx -- :1'. ctrl-alt-f7 should get you back here but let the new X load first and see what happens [01:43] Okay. [01:43] anybody else wants to join this bug hunt xD [01:43] hello, I have "ERROR: / is world writable!" when I type "sudo ufw enable" [01:43] I'm having some problems with my X-server here, was wondering if someone might help me configure it correctly, or find the bug. Here is my xserver config and my lspci listing: http://pastie.org/266380 [01:43] sudo and su? [01:43] Okay.. It gave some errors. [01:44] timma: why is / world writable? [01:44] MasterFruityLoop: should i paste the script? [01:44] Hello, FUSED [01:44] timma: What is the output of "ls -ld /" ? [01:44] !who | Fused [01:44] Fused: 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 :) [01:44] jrib, I a new to ubuntu and firewalls, so I do not know [01:44] the problem is that when I play something in the video player the xserver crashes completely and doesn't reboot [01:44] Okay. [01:44] ubuntu,It's my other os [01:44] timma: have you ever run a command with "chmod" in it? [01:44] What the best book to read about Linux and goes in detail about Ubuntu [01:45] grrr [01:45] before now,I used win [01:45] This is just a general question, though, jrib..

[01:45] jrib yes [01:45] 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] MasterFruityLoop: The 'startx -- :1' [01:45] didn't work [01:45] timma: Ok, that is very bad [01:45] Fused: I can't help you if I don't see your responses [01:45] er *jrib [01:45] I mean.. I understand what it is showing and everything.. but the information it gives isn't correct.. [01:46] Sorry, jrib. [01:46] jrib,may I make friend with you [01:46] Fused: yes, but you said it gave you errors. What are they? [01:46] Jordan_U what part? [01:46] It says / is 100% used.. but it includes /usr and /home and stuff under that.. which I have mounted to different partitions [01:46] 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] timma: / should not be writable by all users, it is a huge security vulnerability [01:46] 什么LINUX学习好呢？ [01:47] 终于来了个中国人 [01:47] and I have always had like 20% free on /.. and all of a suddon now I can't even open synaptic or brasero or like any program because I don't have any space on / [01:47] 使用什么LINUX学习好哦 [01:47] ubuntu [01:47] 大家有在的吗？我想学习用呢？ [01:47] !zh [01:47] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [01:47] 我在啊 [01:47] do you guys have any idea about what I should do to find out why my xserver is crashing?

[01:49] jrib: That's all that I can see it erroring with. [01:49] zhaowm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zh [01:49] Spacy: Yes [01:49] I cant get tilda to work [01:49] 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] !brain | zhaowm [01:49] zhaowm: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:49] thanks [01:49] or it does [01:49] except [01:49] 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] it wont take focus when it comes up [01:49] Installin ubuntu and i hasd windows on my drive before [01:49] anyone knkow how to do that? [01:50] Jordan_U: Missed my last message? Or no clue? ;) [01:50] ircleuser: what version? [01:50] as well as various data with ntfs format [01:50] ? [01:50] id like to avoid losing that data [01:50] <^paradox^> i need some serious help [01:50] IMTheNachoMan; lmsensors maybe? [01:50] also, sometimes restarting the xserver with ctrl-alt-backspace will sometimes cause n unresponsive blackscreen instead of bringing up GDM [01:50] moosen:I usually blame video drivers for that. Which one are you using? [01:50] why cant i force an earlier version of kdenlive? [01:51] im at the point now where i select how to partition the drive(s) [01:51] Spacy: It's really odd, can you try in dash? [01:51] Can I just do "nano startfluxbox" and change the "/usr/bin/fluxbox" to "/usr/local/bin/fluxbox"? [01:51] jrib: Can I just do "nano startfluxbox" and change the "/usr/bin/fluxbox" to "/usr/local/bin/fluxbox"?* [01:51] 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] right [01:51] Fused: you compiled it wrong if that's the case [01:51] Keep forgetting to mention your name with it. [01:51] So I should reinstall it again? [01:51] sorry,but i like here.one,I can learn about ubuntu,other, I can study english [01:52] i have 2 but theres programs and documents on both [01:52] Fused: you're sure 'startfluxbox' from the repositories is gone right? [01:52] bastid_raZor: thanks..il try that [01:52] i want to get rid of my windows installation [01:52] jrib: I didn't get this version from the Ubuntu repository. It came straight from http://www.fluxbox.org/download [01:52] its damaged [01:52] ircleuser, congrats [01:52] Fused: yes, I know. But is startfluxbox leftover from before? [01:52] but i have documents and programs i wanna save [01:53] Not that I know of. [01:53] any way to do that [01:53] ? [01:53] Spacy: I see you tried ./skype so it shouldn't matter, but what is in your PATH ? [01:53] It could be.. but I don't think so.. [01:53] Fused: does there exist one in /usr/bin/? [01:53] ircleuser, can't you copy them? [01:53] No. [01:53] 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] i cant boot using windows [01:53] <^paradox^> ? [01:54] ircleuser, you can mount its partition in linux and then copy the stuff you need [01:54] jrib: No, there is only one in /usr/local/bin. [01:54] do i just have to give up on one partition? [01:54] so u want to use an ubuntu disk to boot, so u cant rescue your files ircleuser? [01:54] when is alpha5 announced? [01:54] 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] Can you explain me logic how must I install SpamAssassin smtpgateway in windows Exchange network. [01:54] 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] erm [01:54] ircleuser, by give up you mean erase the partition? [01:54] AliAkgun: where is ubuntu? [01:54] i want to stop using windows all together [01:55] but the documents on there i would like to save [01:55] smtpgateway will be [01:55] 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] and open using wine [01:55] Spacy: That is truly bizarre [01:55] ircleuser, so, you have to mount its partition in linux and then copy the files [01:55] is it possible that an update to perl would screw up my irssi scripts? this is all via apt? [01:55] Okay, jrib, Let me attempt it again. [01:55] moosen: don't know then. You can check ~/.xsession-errors [01:55] how do i change settings like the timeout for my screen going darker on my latop ? [01:55] Spacy: Side effect of a rootkit possibly? [01:56] Thank you, jrib. [01:56] methods: system -> preferences -> power management [01:56] It works now. [01:56] Jordan_U: Thank you - I even thought i had unlearned 15years of linux use (cause of too much j2ee coding recently ;)) [01:56] Fused: oh, ok cool :) [01:56] Be right back. Thank again, jrib. [01:56] schuenemon how do i do that without erasing the partition to install windows [01:56] hmm, jrib, this is interesting: I also have the i915 module running, though it's a intel 855GM [01:57] jrib: I'll check it out [01:57] ircleuser, check if isn't already mounted at /media [01:57] does suspend constitute powering down ? [01:57] Hey [01:57] 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] by booting from the hard drive? [01:57] Where are all the programs stored? [01:57] I mean all the applications [01:58] Like, in windows there is Program Files? [01:58] ircleuser, no, use nautilus and open /media [01:58] Sweet. [01:58] do i need to download nautalis first then [01:58] ? [01:58] ircleuser, what OS are you using now? [01:59] none [01:59] jrib: isn't there a better power manager... i forget hte name of it [01:59] i had windows [01:59] then how are you talking here? [01:59] i dont knoow how it happened [01:59] methods: not that I know of [01:59] on another comp [01:59] and you have ubuntu on your comp? [01:59] different computers (mac OSX) [02:00] i have ubuntu on a boot disk in my comp that had windows but can no longer boot using windows [02:00] dude my desktop keeps crashing using the live cd is this normal ? [02:00] i think it might be nx client [02:00] ircleuser, you mean you have a ubuntu live cd? [02:00] Jordan_U: And i guess a rootkit wouldn't block skype and leave everything else i tried till now untouched [02:01] not sure [02:01] new to linux [02:01] Where are all the programs stored like Rhythmbox etc... like in windows there is Program Files? [02:01] ircleuser, what do you mean by "boot disk" ? [02:01] Spacy: It might, there might be a bug in whatever modification the rootkit made to hide its files [02:01] its an iso i downloaded to install ubuntu [02:01] and burnt to a cd [02:01] is it on a cd? [02:01] yes [02:01] yes, that's a live cd [02:02] ok [02:02] ircleuser, did you try taking the cd out? [02:02] 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] so, you want to erase windows and install ubuntu, but you want to copy your files before doing that? [02:02] boot cd is windows lingo for a cd that the computer uses to start [02:02] correct [02:02] can it be done? [02:02] well, yes... [02:03] cort: No, there isn't. Just change your Gmail password using your browser. [02:03] Spacy: Have you tried chckrootkit just in case? [02:03] Jordan_U: Hm you're right - any good recommendation for a scanning tool? [02:03] ircleuser, I would use the livecd to boot ubuntu, then copy the files to a pendrive and then erase windows' partiton [02:03] Jordan_U: nope not yet - will do in a moment [02:03] cilkay: I would if I could remember it :) catch 22 [02:03] rkhunter or chkrootkit [02:03] are there too many files? [02:03] 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? [02:04] one drive has 32 GB taken and the other 24 [02:04] what do you mean pen drive? [02:04] USB flash drive [02:04] oh [02:04] or stick, or whatever it's called where you live [02:04] then yes theres too many files [02:04] 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. :) [02:05] thorny_sun: not really... but remember that tab-complete works on the terminal, it makes things a lot faster [02:05] ircleuser, Schuenemann: or a removable USB hard drive? [02:05] jStefan, or data traveler [02:05] i think i have an option [02:05] 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] ircleuser, if you can copy them all to your usb stick, then it's done [02:05] i have 2 hard drives and an enclosure [02:06] what does the second HD have? [02:06] Jordan_U: nothing found [02:06] thorny_sun: cd $(dirname $_) [02:06] 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] hey, how can i search everywhere includeing within achieves? [02:06] the primary has windows on it and more files than the second [02:06] oh.....! I just. You make me realize, Jordan_U. Should I do a chmod 755 or 744 ? [02:06] hi [02:06] ircleuser, the 2nd doesn't have any OS installed? [02:07] thats righty [02:07] right** [02:07] then you can copy things to the 2nd [02:07] 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] cant boot using the windows installation [02:08] ircleuser, you boot using ubuntu cd [02:08] is that in the first menu on the disk? [02:08] I think yes [02:08] ok [02:08] start or install, something like that [02:09] im gonna go try that [02:09] ill be back if it doesnt happen [02:09] 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] Jordan_U: thanks!! that's a good idea!! didn't realize about $_ [02:09] thorny_sun: np [02:09] ircleuser, is the 2nd comp next to you too? [02:11] 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] mkdir for folder [02:11] and for files? [02:11] please : ) [02:11] no kernel or bash hackerz here? xD [02:12] Lollipopz: touch [02:12] yay thanks jrib! [02:12] 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. [02:13] 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] Spacy: Might try ##linux [02:14] Any one? [02:14] 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] hello. trying to change fonts in eterm. eterm*font: doesnt work in xdefaults, just woundering if they is another alias [02:15] Babam, are you installing using wubi? [02:16] @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 [02:17] ok [02:17] cant find how to boot from cd [02:17] ircleuser, what happened [02:17] would that be mount and execute cd rom? [02:17] did you boot from cd? you have to restart your machine for that [02:18] there doesnt seem to be an option to boot from cd without installing ubuntu [02:18] jStefan: Did you get all that? [02:18] 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] oh [02:18] ircleuser, it should be the first... did you try it? [02:18] first is install ubunto [02:18] Babam, a blank cd isn't too expensive these days :P [02:18] Well the iso happens to be gone, graah gonna have to re download it [02:18] ubuntu** [02:18] 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] ircleuser, I think that is both start and install. Try it [02:19] ok [02:19] i got there [02:19] <-- 15, no income, going to try Re Writing the disk (yay for RW's!) [02:19] there where? [02:19] jrgp-> you did make a backup before doing this thing right? [02:19] can somebody help me get xubuntu 8.10 alpha to stop saving sessions [02:19] then it started continuing install [02:19] so i went to the main menu [02:20] jrgp: it can take some time, especially if you're resizing another partition to make room [02:20] ircleuser, so it started ubuntu? [02:20] and followed the option "execute and mount cdrom" [02:20] it has 2 partitions (/ and /home), the latter is huge, I'm deleting the former and creating two partitions in its place [02:20] it started the installation process yes [02:20] !intrepid | branigin [02:20] 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] k thanks [02:20] (it's stuck at 33% and not moving) [02:20] ircleuser, did it open ubuntu with an interface similar to windows? [02:21] yeah [02:21] Hey [02:21] blue red and grey you mean? [02:21] 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] ircleuser, I don't remember the colours exacly, but it shows the time on the right side, has a "start" menu, etc? [02:21] what is the name of the "adobe pdf viewer" package? [02:21] I saw it that they do it in themes, but I have no idea how :p [02:22] Schueneman:erm [02:22] no [02:22] !adobe [02:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about adobe [02:22] !pdf [02:22] 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] Jordan_U sorry. what should I do? [02:22] 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] its a lot more like DOS with colors [02:22] :D [02:22] lol :p [02:22] ircleuser, it's hard to say something without seeing... what was written on the screen? [02:22] this middle mouse button on my laptop has 4 way switch how can i remap what the buttons do ? [02:23] at the begining? [02:23] what is a good pdf editor? [02:23] after you chose install ubuntu, what happened exacly? [02:23] timma: Did you only change the permissions on / or did you change them recursively? [02:23] I think it should start ubuntu with a GUI [02:24] updates: can you set a screen as left of another screen? [02:24] 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] Jordan_U "sudo chown 744 /" now my problem is the "bash: /usr/bin/sudo: Permission denied" [02:24] have you installed windows before where you need to format a partition and its all kinda bluescreen-esque [02:24] m [02:25] Schuenemann: sounds like he grabbed the alternate install cd rather than the livecd [02:25] Daisuke_Ido, oh... I never used that one [02:25] i think thats right [02:26] Daisuke_Ido, is the alternated cd bootable? [02:26] so if i get a live cd i can boot to a desktop and move all my data without formatting [02:26] alternate* [02:26] Jordan_U I will have to restart in system rescue or something. [02:26] back in ten [02:27] Schuenemann:shure [02:27] timma: If you only changed the permissions for / then just "sudo chmod 0755 /", if you changed them recursively, re-install [02:27] !alternate > Schuenemann [02:27] Schuenemann, please see my private message [02:27] ScheissDrogen, I mean can you start ubuntu with it? [02:27] anyone with a blackberry and use it as bt modem? [02:27] oh... it's text-mode [02:28] ircleuser, I guess you'll have to download and burn the livecd [02:28] ok [02:28] \whre [02:28] where can i get that? [02:28] Schuenemann: also , but the repair options of the standard Installer i like better... shot grub ? [02:28] Jordan_U, cant u boot into live cd and chroot [02:29] ScheissDrogen, not me, he screwed up his windows and wants to save files before installing ubuntu [02:29] 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] Schuenemann: for that the alternate does fine, too [02:29] ScheissDrogen, but with no GUI? [02:30] ill just get a live cd [02:30] ircleuser, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [02:30] casao: you around? [02:30] where can i download one fastest? [02:30] k [02:30] Syco54645_AAO: yes [02:30] 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] rring to the blank drive, and isn't including the other two drives under the umbrella of 'all partitions'. [02:30] Schuenemann: thats your decision, wherever use a terminal or a gui [02:30] casao: incoming pm [02:31] ScheissDrogen, can the alternate use a GUI (nautilus, for example) without installing? [02:31] OOOHHHH [02:31] ive been here [02:31] i cecked the box [02:31] Schuenemann: yes [02:31] ok [02:32] ScheissDrogen, how can he do t hat? [02:32] AgentZed:simply unplug the full ones.. lol 200% shure [02:32] Schuenemann: The alternate CD is not a LiveCD. [02:32] AgentZed: ^^ agreed [02:32] right [02:32] ok [02:32] Pici, so he cannot do it? [02:32] so i download that [02:32] AgentZed: you can also look at first detected in bios [02:32] burn it to CD [02:32] Schuenemann: Correct. [02:33] and boot up form there [02:33] ircleuser, yes, but do not check that box [02:33] then i can transfer all my windows data to one drive? [02:33] great [02:33] yes, exacly [02:33] okay Jordan_U what is your solution? I did "sudo chown 755 /" [02:34] ive been meaning to switch to an open source os for years [02:34] you'd better come here when you have it burnt [02:34] 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] timma: Did you only change / or did you do a recursive change ( when you first changed it to world writable ) ? [02:35] ircleuser:for pure live - cds knoppix is very handy [02:35] Spacy: Yes, that's the newest version [02:35] ok [02:35] ScheissDrogen: what do you mean by "pure" ? [02:36] so i use the knoppix to save data and the alternate to install later? [02:36] Jordan_U only / [02:36] Jordan_U I did 744 at first and everything slowly stopped working [02:37] Evenin' folks [02:37] by pure live you mean it is live cd only right? [02:37] on knoppix? [02:37] 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] knoppix can be installed too [02:37] komputes: I found it to often have even bigger hardwaresupport out of the box , and yes special designed for that [02:38] Aquahallic, fdisk -l [02:38] ty [02:40] * Schuenemann wishes he had a canonical store near him [02:40] Daisuke_Ido, i also tried screen01, screen 02 LeftOf screen01, screen03 RightOf screen01 [02:41] Jordan_U thank you [02:41] 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] updates: yeah, that would have been about my only suggestion :\ [02:42] Daisuke_Ido, thanks anyway :) [02:42] I am using Nvidia X server and I have 2 X screens.

I want it for the ipod [03:21] 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] tarelerulz: both, rip DVD or convert video [03:21] Slade, okay thanks [03:22] why does ubuntu refer to my hard drives as sda, sdb and not hda, hdb? [03:22] luqui: no problem. If you're trying to get rid of nautilus all together, what do you plan to use? [03:22] Schuenemann: are they serial ATA ? [03:22] Slade, xmonad ;-) [03:22] nope IDE [03:22] Schuenemann: word...i dont know [03:22] isnt that a good in the current kernal that causes that? [03:22] goof i meant [03:22] 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... [03:23] hi, can someone help me get my hauppauge tv-tuner working? [03:23] Schuenemann: newish kernels like to call all kinds of things sdx instead of hdx ... [03:23] 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] eeeeeewwwwwwww [03:23] luqui: ie: ln -s /usr/bin/xmonad /usr/bin/nautilus [03:23] yeah, first, that's system wide, and second, eeww :-) [03:24] how would the usb sticks be referred now? sdc? [03:24] trying your suggestion Slade [03:24] luqui: hence why i said undesirable :) [03:25] =/ [03:25] I hate java atm [03:26] Dragon_Master, is java working or not?

Thank you! [03:38] listening on the radio [03:38] but i'm trying to install the latest ubuntu [03:38] from my hd [03:38] i found an example [03:38] but i'm using suse [03:38] and it's an example for ubuntu [03:39] I am having an irq conflict when I boot up, conflict is between ndiswrapper and something else that i am not sure of. i have blacklisted f32 and ssb and had ndiswrapper added to modules but now it is conflicting. is there any way i can add ndiswrapper to auto launch after i log into my gui? [03:39] how can i install iTunes in ubuntu? [03:39] what's the difference between hda and sda? [03:39] T2: itunes doesn't run on linux [03:39] T2--the only way you can do that is by using wine [03:39] laserbeak: 11 letters [03:40] that was good :) [03:40] arcfide, did you try package ia32-libs ? [03:40] T2: and it doesn't work all that well, IMHO [03:40] when I installed iTunes on Wine (Kubuntu) it was going nuts [03:40] qr_ but what's that mean [03:40] laserbeak: hd* is IDE and sd* is SCSI (not necessarily for real, but using the interface) [03:40] Dragon_Master, that's my experience as well =[ [03:40] like black screens [03:40] and all [03:40] xD [03:40] LinuxMercedes: you got itunes to work through wine? what version of itunes? [03:41] 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] had to disable the wifi adapter in the bios to boot up [03:41] komputes, its screws up though [03:41] oh ok [03:41] yeah i suspected that cause i have SATA [03:41] komputes, IIRC it's something like 7.6. I don't use it at all now, since my iPod died [03:41] next question is why is there sda5 and sda7?? [03:41] i have SATA, too, i had to change the mode to RAID from IDE, otherwise it wouldn't load linux at all [03:41] there are 2 partitions and a swap [03:42] LinuxMercedes, I stepped on my iPod Touch [03:42] xD [03:42] Where do I find Printer Compatability listing for Linux? [03:42] Dragon_Master, ouch! [03:42] IT still works [03:42] o.o [03:42] LinuxMercedes: Dragon_Master: I'm moving away from iBloatTunes since it's now like 80MB and started out being like 4 or 7 mb [03:42] xD [03:42] wow.

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [03:43] LinuxMercedes: Dragon_Master: all i want is a quick mp3 player, it doesn't offer me that any more... but i have ratings and playlists that I want to bring in, that's whats really stopping me [03:43] no matter how crappy it is, iTunes' playback is pretty good [03:43] hello? [03:43] other audio software (on my mac) used to produce audio dropouts under heavy load, itunes never did [03:43] komputes, Creative Zen =P [03:44] can some one help me please?

I have 80 gigs of data I want to archive, compress and span into 100 meg files. What would be the best tool for that? I think tar can't split into different files when compressing.

[04:18] stavros: you either click install or click on check for it to check the repositories again [04:18] no need to make a partition [04:19] eh? /dev/sdc without a partition number???? [04:19] 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] ok, I didn't try that [04:19] having trouble printing through samba.

[04:36] morningwalker:got o partition editor in system->administrator [04:37] CorbinFox: Likely, yes. If you want to come to #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss specific errors, or ##C [04:37] VanessaE: not really, i always thought of card readers as rather generic in their operation [04:37] morningwalker:can u find it?

[04:38] meoblast001, with a program called screen [04:38] meoblast001: use screen [04:38] meoblast001: You need to use screen or nohup [04:39] como pongo applets bonitos en Gnome? [04:39] explain screen [04:39] morningwalker: Its /etc/fstab, and its actually fairly self explanatory. What sort of partitions are these? [04:39] hay alguno que te muestre las fases de la Luna como en KDE4? [04:39] screen is like remote virtual terminals [04:39] im in /dev/input and did ls and i want to see what each one is [04:39] meoblast001: apt-get install screen [04:39] !es | EagleSn [04:39] EagleSn: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[04:39] Flannel, NTFS partitions [04:39] arodd: nevermind.. my webmin has a downloading manager.. i can use that [04:39] meoblast001, screen is like having tabs on a ssh sessions... [04:40] !ntfs-3g | morningwalker [04:40] morningwalker: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [04:40] meoblast001: you would run screen on the remote host [04:40] morningwalker: that page will explain how to add them to your fstab [04:40] If I wanted to dual boot OpenSUSE, I can just create another partition, install, reboot, and it should be in the grub menu. Right? [04:40] when I generate new ssh host keys with a passphrase the key won't load, without a passphrase it works fine, why won't it accept the passphrase? [04:40] Fused: probably not [04:41] How can I get it to work? [04:41] Fused: You'll have to add it to your menu, the detection stuff only happens at install. [04:41] Fused: you may need to create a custom grub menu.lst that points to both installs partitions/kernels [04:41] hi.............. [04:41] arodd or Flannel: how do I go about doing this? [04:41] why does firefox crash when i am using youtube.com or stickam.com it locks up and stops working... like a freeze? this has been happing for about 2 to 3 years and is getting worse.... i am using the latest Ubuntu.. Ubuntu needs to fix this. and quit ignoring it. [04:42] lowlux: you can install the flash 10 beta which doesn't do this [04:42] how do i edit a mp3 file on ubuntu hardy? i want to cut off the end and then fade it out. what software is easiest to do this? [04:42] lowlux: It's likely due to flash. [04:42] arooni-mobile: Try audacity [04:42] hola [04:42] hey, half my music collection just stopped working and rhythmbox says "internal GStreamer problem; file a bug" How can I get more info? [04:42] arodd: the flash 10 plugin should not be recommended till firefox 3.0.2 is released, there is a common crasher in 3.0.1 [04:43] ¿aqui no habla nadie español?

[04:44] Fused: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Multi_Distribution_Boot_Howto [04:44] kbrosnan: there is a common crasher if you don't use flash 10 ;) [04:44] kbrosnan: comes down to usability, I haven't had mine crash yet, however flash 9 crashed all the time [04:45] kbrosnan: depends on the pages you visit I suppose [04:45] arodd: no, flash 10 is bad for builds less than 3.0.1 [04:45] Fused: I didn't catch the beginning of the thread. Why do you want multiple distros? Are you evaluating? Running them as desktops or servers? [04:45] kbrosnan: which is the current version...no? [04:46] arodd: 3.0.1 [04:46] I want to dual Ubuntu/OpenSUSE, just to see what OpenSUSE looks like. [04:46] arodd: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/08/windowless_mode_fix.html [04:46] Fused: Why not try a live CD then? [04:47] how do i install flash player 10? [04:47] ok I was wondering has any one used remastersys? [04:47] I am downloading the live CD of it, but I'm just wanting to find out, in case I do want to intall it. [04:47] Fused: Virtual machines are pretty for dealing with this too. [04:47] kbrosnan: As a reminder, Firefox 3.0.1 has a known crash problem with a wide variety of windowless mode SWFs. [04:47] 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] kbrosnan: they must not be very common [04:48] Fused: I meant that VMs are pretty good for that use. [04:48] 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] arodd: mostly used in fulscreen flash video [04:48] Fused: E.g. virtualbox, VMWare Server (free) are a couple of options. [04:48] ohh the blame game.... why don't linux just come out with there own standard of flash. [04:49] lowlux: theora is the answer... [04:49] Be right back. [04:49] lowlux: svg +
